Also techpowerup has lots of reviews available

[odd marsh]

Which of 5 OLEDs should I use to watch a movie tonight? LG C4, LG G5, S90D my MSI 27QPX, or my Laptop

[left trellis]

Just curious since I see them a lot when looking at different ssds and want to know generally their quality

would they be good enough for gaming
editing?

and longevity yk

[frigid blade]

the worst one

[plain cypress]

I recall Samsung mentioning like 10 years ago that they had approached price parity to LCD on AMOLED displays at 5"

Small AMOLEDs are simply cost efficient to produce. Of course, LCDs have also gotten cheaper since then

[left trellis]

I shall check

[dim sinew]

Does oled have bigger life span than ips?

[left trellis]

and did any get swapped

[dim sinew]

My oled tv died had to repair burn in issues

[steel umbra]

on your aio display

[kindred halo]

Oh that's interesting
Didn't know they reached such similar prices that long ago

[odd marsh]

IPS might technically last longer, but if you treat them right they can last 5+ years easily

[steel umbra]

even ips can face burn in btw

[odd marsh]

yeah

[steel umbra]

the backlight leds can die over time

[odd marsh]

honestly the samsung S90D

[plain cypress]

Economies of scale
Samsung was making so many OLED phone panels they had to make it affordable to produce

[steel umbra]

or the film that reflects light can deform from heat

[frigid blade]

You saw the video where they use a projector through the IPS/display thing and it comes out super high resolution?

[dim sinew]

Hmm but only time I notice difference is when there is dark
Moments in movies
There is no difference in colour ful scene if ignore contrasts

[steel umbra]

nop

[dim sinew]

IPS are good for budget

[odd marsh]

TBH I notice instantly when using OLED, I've got the good high end shit so I know what's up

[frigid blade]

Oh sorry infinite contrast https://youtu.be/qXrn4MqY1Wo?si=6gqNFQnqN31syeX7

It’s really cool

[kindred halo]

I mean, I kinda expected that they reached that sort of cost efficiency when my phone of all models has an AMOLED screen (A16)

[dim sinew]

I don't watch on my ips laptop I only use my tv and phone which are oled

[odd marsh]

i've got an OLED phone but I don't bother watching on that, same with my laptop

[plain cypress]

There's probably still some LCD phones but pretty rare

[frigid blade]

I use a laptop from 2013 to watch movies, you really don’t need anything special

[odd marsh]

I beg to differ but oh well

[dim sinew]

Is it vga screen god dont

[distant frigate]

Looks like the neighbor in front of our house recently got FTTH from Cox. Awesome

[frigid blade]

No haha

[dim sinew]

TA screen more worst than u think

[steel umbra]

interesting y

[dim sinew]

Black patch on side views

[frigid blade]

It looks really good, the dark areas

I forgot if it’s any similar to OLED

[kindred halo]

Probably ultrabudgets or unknown brands / both

I've got about a $6400 setup in my living room for watching movies, I know my displays

How many sound bars are sitting in boxes

[odd marsh]

2, but those are in my room

[dim sinew]

Cool

[odd marsh]

just the one soundbar in the living room

[dim sinew]

Is soundbar better than tv speakers?

[frigid blade]

I’ve had the same soundbar that I won at a picnic for a decade almost lol, since I was 9 years old I’ve had it

[odd marsh]

than the TV speakers? Yes

[dim sinew]

Idk why when I put my tv speakers on high volume I see distortion is it normal or my speaker is cooked

It's on wooden desk btw might be vibration

[frigid blade]

You see the sound waves distorted?

[odd marsh]

that's normal for the shitty cheap speakers they put in TVs

[dim sinew]

When there is bass I see buzzz sound

Like distorted boom

Even voices in movie have buzzz with them on high volume

Might have to get good soundbar

[wheat torrent]

Are ampere CPUs any good in 2025

Or are there other equivalent options

@lapis furnace

[lapis furnace]

What? I have 0 idea

[clear canyon]

Do you have a pic of the bottom of your switch

[clear canyon]

Im talking about the style of pins of the switches

[lapis furnace]

It's a Keychron Red Mechanical Switch

[clear canyon]

Ok so its not outemu, good

So you can swap it if you want

[lapis furnace]

Not changing the switches tho. Only keycaps

||i do have a switch puller but I'm too afraid to use it||

[rose sorrel]

Got a Dumb Question here is Thermal Paste Thermal Paste ?

[clear canyon]

Why not?

[clear canyon]

You said the same thing

[rose sorrel]

I mean does brand matter ?

[clear canyon]

Yes

[rose sorrel]

are any of these good

[clear canyon]

To a point

Just get this: https://a.co/d/elwTZ5o

[rose sorrel]

Best Buy also have XTM70

I don’t wanna wait I need to get project done

[clear canyon]

Best buy is normally over priced

[clear canyon]

Wdym

[rose sorrel]

Are any of them locally any good I can pick up ?

[clear canyon]

They are fine

Not the best price tho

[rose sorrel]

Going in that

[clear canyon]

Idk what that is

The pic is bad

[clear canyon]

Thats a project?

[calm idol]

toothpaste would work in that

[rose sorrel]

Yeah

[clear canyon]

How

You dont do anything to it

[rose sorrel]

I had to get new cpu for it

[clear canyon]

Not a project :/

Just maintenance

A project would be getting one and setting up a server on it

[rose sorrel]

Yeah it’s I got for free going to be a streaming box for my mom me and bro are going to setup a plex server or jellyfin server

I have a really server

[clear canyon]

Go jellyfin

[clear canyon]

Free and honestly better than plex now days

I use it too

This is my Nas/media server

[rose sorrel]

Got this for free too and that server perks of my bro that works with with security system they gonna throw to scrap

[clear canyon]

I recommend you to use tailscale to connect to your media server outside your lan

[whole garden]

what case is that?

[rose sorrel]

Yeah we have setup

Should I run Linxs on my Optiplex ?

[eternal cloak]

Yes and no
There are some that are different because they're made for entirely different things, but generally speaking they're mostly the same

[rose sorrel]

We run windows since it not at my house

[clear canyon]

This, i dont recommend it: Cooler Master N400 NSE-400-KKN2... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DKXXBU0?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

[clear canyon]

If you want to

[rose sorrel]

I want to use that Optiplex fora Minecraft server and to rip cds since has CD Already

[clear canyon]

Heres my NAS specs
Asus tuf x570 plus wifi (wifi is turned off)

Thermalright Assassin x120 refined SE cooler

[rose sorrel]

would it hurt to just put a standard HDD and 256gb sata ssd ?

In my Optiplex?

[clear canyon]

No

[rose sorrel]

Because I got these HDD from my bro and our in my main gaming rig along with my Gen 4 M.2
Or would it just be better for to get blueary / dvd drive and just burn on my Ganing PC or just get blueray drive for Optiplex ?

Thought about putting 6 tb one in Optiplex

Or thought about one if these ?

LTE vs 5G UC

[clear canyon]

I already told you those are fine to get

[rose sorrel]

Ok

First pic is what’s in it and second one is what I plan to put in

[craggy cove]

turns out, yes. new b550m arrived and still only 1 channel works

[wheat torrent]

Are ampere cpus only in god damn us

[craggy cove]

am4 prices are also fked

why is a 5700x cheaper than a 5600

[plush wren]

[wheat torrent]

:uuh:

[brazen glen]

Is a later budget release

The 5700x are 5800s that couldn’t clock high enough

[craggy cove]

and 5600 is a bit poopier 5600x

[regal edge]

Is it safe for my pc to be running on low mains power like 100-160v when the normal is 220v (voltage drops in my area during winters)

Like do i need something specific of is my ups enough

Msi mag a750 gl btw

[plush wren]

just hit the power button instead of backspace thats great

[brazen glen]

Most psus take anywhere from 100-240v

That and the UPS should keep things tidy enough

[regal edge]

I'm aware of that, but the problem is ups has built in avr (which is kinda good) but it heats the psu up shortening it's life span (according to my knowledge)

I was thinking about a voltage stabilizer and a ups but i have to get them. Can i use it on mains till then?

I have to benchmark my pc, a brand new build

[brazen glen]

I wouldn’t worry about it too much, they’re pretty hearty things

And even if it gets warm it’s better than getting slammed with a voltage excursion

[regal edge]

I do care about a 'system' like it's my wife or smth

[brazen glen]

Does your UPS use a simulated sine or pure sine wave

[regal edge]

I do agree with you there, but I'm not gonna do her bad because something else is worse

[regal edge]

See I've got a really expensive inverter/ups at home (that broke a couple days ago (pure sine wave) atm i don't have a ups or a voltage stabilizer

The broken one is 12v x 2 150 ah each, and also pure sine wave

It powers the whole house

[white pawn]

For what reason could I possibly want the 210 hz one instead of the 240 hz one?
https://www.canadacomputers.com/en/25-29-gaming-monitors/271656/asus-tuf-gaming-27-qhd-fast-ips-210hz-0-3ms-gtg-gaming-monitor-vg27aq5a.html

The latter also has 400 nits compared to 300

[regal edge]

The 240 hz is better imo, only if you are brand obsessed or smth

[white pawn]

Yeah frr

Some user reported backlight bleed but that’s all

[regal edge]

That's 5-7% user experience

[ivory mountain]

what about 6-7%

[regal edge]

They experience bleed and shi'

[ivory mountain]

u missed the joke

[ivory mountain]

i hated my acer, they use extremely cheap panels

[white pawn]

Why

I mean how’d you notice it

[regal edge]

Indeed

[steep wyvern]

hey everyone i recently got some free SONOS play 1 speakers but i cant figure out how to use them as pc speakers since they dont have aux in/out and i cant connect them with wifi

[ivory mountain]

washed out, tons of backlight bleed, overall build quality is cheap too

[regal edge]

Is it safe for my pc to be running on low mains power like 100-160v when the normal is 220v (voltage drops in my area during winters)

Thanks, you got a pic?

[ivory mountain]

no i sold that monitor like 2 years ago lmaoo

[white pawn]

Which one?

[lapis furnace]

That looks awful. Doesn't it?

[white pawn]

Are you using ASUS now?

[ivory mountain]

no i went to a gigabyte m27q x

[ivory mountain]

this one, cant remember if i had the 180hz or the 240

[white pawn]

Anyone here with ASUS experience? (Monitors)

[glad maple]

Anyone thats good with pc? My pc cant find my graphics card, its completly seated correctly and i have done bio drivers update, windows clean reinstall, ddu. Have no clue what to do now. I can join vc and use cam/screenrecord to make it easier.

[white pawn]

Arghh I feel like 210 hz ASUS is gonna be a bad refresh rate

[ivory mountain]

u wont notice 210 to 240, hell i barely noticed 165 to 240

[lapis furnace]

[distant frigate]

Unless you want a fiber optic laser pointer

[regal edge]

Drivers from the official site of your mobo

And also install nvidia drivers

[regal edge]

Come vc

[white pawn]

Nah but 210 sucks cuz it doesn’t have that many divisors

[glad maple]

I did update drivers already and nvidia wont launch since it doenst recognise my 5070 ti

[regal edge]

Can you show your pc like live

On vc

[glad maple]

Yes, is there even voice chats on this discord server?

[regal edge]

Nope are you in ltt?

Ztt

[glad maple]

Nope

[regal edge]

Send me a friend request join vc there

[white pawn]

Like 240 is divisible by 60, 120, 2, 4, 8, 16, etc

[glad maple]

I did

[white pawn]

Personally didn’t enjoy having to play rdr2 at 55 fps capped (165 hz; 165/3=55)

[rose sorrel]

1080p or 1440p ?

Are 1080p 27 inch monitors that bad ?

[ivory mountain]

1440

[ivory mountain]

yeah i can see individual pixels when i used one

[rose sorrel]

I ahve a 1440p 27 inch

First one I ordered originally

[white pawn]

@ivory mountain Does 1080p on a 1440p monitor look bad?

[rose sorrel]

Then returned that one and got this one

[ivory mountain]

i mean it looks like 1080p

[white pawn]

But not so crisp?

[ivory mountain]

i mean it depends on the size of the monitor

[white pawn]

27”

[ivory mountain]

ass

[white pawn]

Bro what 😭

You playing on a 5” monitor or sum

[ivory mountain]

im playing on 1440p 27"

1080p on 27" looks terrible

[white pawn]

Damn

[eternal cloak]

There's a certain "standard" you want for monitors

For example, on 1080p you'll want 24 inches, on 1440p it's 32 inches (but 27 inches looks a lot better)

[white pawn]

I’ve got an RX 6800, Ryzen 7 7700X and 2x16 GB 6000 MHz CL30 DDR5 RAM so I think 1440p240 should be the sweet spot

[white pawn]

Oh ok thanks

[eternal cloak]

For 4K to look the same I think it's like 40 inches, but nobody sane buys 4K 40 inches

[random junco]

higher resolution and lower screen size looks the most crisp

4k OLED 1 inch

[wheat torrent]

I didnt expect them to be so expensive

[white pawn]

😂

The ppi gotta be insane

[wheat torrent]

3.0 GHz on 128 cores sound quite good

[white pawn]

Would you guys agree or is it too high? I’m tryna play Rocket League but also maybe some games at 1080p (like rdr2)

It’s only CA$219.99 anyway

[eternal cloak]

The ppi you want in monitors is roughly 90 ppi btw
There are 6.5" 4K screens, which have 642.63ppi

[wheat torrent]

Don't forget about PPD

[stiff sonnet]

ASUS rog strix x870e or MSI Carbon x870e

[wheat torrent]

You can have 600 PPI but if it's one inch from the eye then it's not a fair comparison

You have to account for PPD

Even on +24 inch monitors

[wintry heart]

concorde? I posted the video to show the blue twinkle led ram. The other stick is back to rainbow barf now. No idea what made it decide to do red for a bit. I guess signal or open rgb was able to convince it even though it didn't see it. I suppose you could be hearing this in the background though since that machine is basically right next to it.

I mean, I could try that but both the occt and hci tests were pretty good at detecting errors that memtest86+ couldn't find.

[eternal cloak]

Ye, wasn't in question however

Is also a looot more complicated to explain to people like Elliot

[rose sorrel]

Will the GHz Matter performance wise or since the i5 has more cores ?

[eternal cloak]

Why are either of them even a consideration

The 7100T is infinitely worse, but both of them suck

[rose sorrel]

For this

[orchid trellis]

I have a spare evga 2080 ti lying around that i dont know what to do with

[wheat torrent]

Same

Got a spare 3070

[brave brook]

i3-7100T has 3.4GHz turbo, i5-7500T has 3.3GHz turbo. The difference is next to nothing, but i5 has real 4 cores, there is no contest, i5-7500T is the better of the two for anything

[brave brook]

LLM. Use it with LM Studio or Ollama

[orchid trellis]

It wont fit in my nas and wont fit in my current pc as a second card

[cosmic lance]

getting 2v1'ed

[orchid trellis]

I have no use for an LLM

[brave brook]

a good reason to build another PC

[orchid trellis]

i dont need another pc

[brave brook]

then sell it. Or gift it to someone in family who neds a better GPU

[rose sorrel]

They make a i7 7700T I think is what it is

But went the i5 7500t since it was $25 dollars lets

[empty quartz]

Mrrp

[rose sorrel]

7700T was $60-$75

When 7500t wants $26

[dusk patio]

my friend was asking me for help with why a game was running so badly so I tell them to check the settings and the resolution was set to 4K (their laptop has a 3050m)

[empty quartz]

🥶

I miss using my 4k lappy but i also dont

[rose sorrel]

I can that laptop with 3050 won’t run 4k maybe depending on game

But very few

[empty quartz]

Nothing recent

[dusk patio]

we were trying to run Marvel Rivals so it was not liking it (Unreal Engine 5 moment)

[empty quartz]

Unreal engine 5 trying not to crash (impossible challenge)

[dusk patio]

checked the resolution + DLSS and they were getting like 80fps

[rose sorrel]

I play older single players game story games

I played TombRaider and Farcry and other game like that

80 fps is good

[empty quartz]

Not if you have a high refresh rate monitor

[rigid fjord]

they are, though having an extra test to check the stability of the timigns helps

What would be a good price for a 2080ti?

[lapis furnace]

$200-250

[empty quartz]

Are you selling or buying one

[lapis furnace]

Wdym no ace attorney, it's fair enough for a used GPU

[empty quartz]

@ivory olive what country are you in?

[ivory olive]

I'm buying one.

USA

[empty quartz]

Dont get a 2080ti then

Go 30 series

[ivory olive]

Too expensive.

[lapis furnace]

[empty quartz]

Go amd

[ivory olive]

My friend isn't tech savvy. Prob not gonna do that.

[empty quartz]

You dont need to be tech savvy to use amd

[ivory olive]

What's ur recommendation the total PC budget is 700-800 and I already spent 330 on 14900k Z790 and 32 gb ddr5

[empty quartz]

14900k is overkill, but id say 6800 or 6750xt, or 7600xt

[ivory olive]

I know 14900k is overkill but it's cheap. Gotta take advantage of the people "upgrading" to amd

[empty quartz]

Valid

[ivory olive]

I'll look at ur suggestions.

Isn't 2080ti around the same performance as a 6750xt?

[rigid fjord]

definitely not a 7600xt

[rigid fjord]

go for a 9060xt

[empty quartz]

Mb

[wheat torrent]

Rauko

I want an ampere cpu

[ivory olive]

OK. I am going to get the 2080ti for 130

Thanks for the recommendations.

[rigid fjord]

not going to happen

[rigid fjord]

4060ti has the same performance but newer, though a 9060xt has even better performance

[night delta]

and uses less power too, no?

[plush wren]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1151983877699670066/1441513734328549427/attachment.gif

[rigid fjord]

it has double the vram of the 7600 but not the bitbus to make actual use of it, making it an utter disappointment

[ivory olive]

Actually maybe If I sell the 14900k and get like a 12700k instead to free up $

[rigid fjord]

yes

[ivory olive]

Hmmmmm

[rigid fjord]

drop to a 13600k instead

same performance as a 12900k when it comes to gaming, and almost the same for production work

[ivory olive]

I know.

[craggy cove]

raptor lake vindication

[rigid fjord]

though tbh, would be better off with a 7600x

[ivory olive]

7600x over 13600k?

[rigid fjord]

yeah

[ivory olive]

Interesting

[rigid fjord]

especially if gaming is the aim

[craggy cove]

bought a 13600kf cause ddr5 prices

[ivory olive]

Nah it's too late. I already have a Z790

[white pawn]

Is 210 hz a terrible refresh rate considering its horrible divisors?

[rigid fjord]

7600x + b650/b850 mobo + 6000 cl30 ddr5 , then get the likes of a 9060xt (16gb), that'll set you back around 650-700

[steel umbra]

the 14900k is good

keep it

[ivory olive]

I know. I have a 13900ks at 7600 cl34 tuned. Awesome cpu.

[steel umbra]

no

it’s fine

you could say the same abt 165hz

[ivory olive]

I'm getting more fps in overkill than hub benchmark in whatever setting they are using stock on bf6

[white pawn]

Cuz I had a bad experience with 165 hz, considering I had to play rdr2 at 55 fps capped to avoid screen tearing

[sleek ibex]

This is what I'm doing ATM

[white pawn]

😂👌

[steel umbra]

that’s strange

[plain cypress]

"what is VRR"

[steel umbra]

variable reload release

[white pawn]

How

[wheat torrent]

Yep

[steel umbra]

didn’t enable vrr right?

or you don’t have the option for some reason

[white pawn]

@steel umbra Wait no I had to play at 82.5 fps capped

Because my PC couldn’t handle higher fps

82.5 fps is a weird number

[hardy horizon]

Let's goooo lol, finally got home internet 😜

I knew when commissions was on the line they was going to figure out a way to to bypass the system cuz I'm right on the edge of where they allow it 500mbps for $35/month 🤘

[vestal stream]

does anyone know if this has an nvme or a sata ssd inside it?

[steel umbra]

you could’ve done 110fps… do you not have the option for gsync, freesync or any vrr?

[ivory olive]

Should I jump on this? A Z790 eagle ax wifi and 32gb hynix M die kit for 200

[white pawn]

110 is not a divisor of 165?

This was my old monitor that I don’t have access to anymore

[steel umbra]

it is not but it shouldn’t cause issues

[white pawn]

Shii this decision is so hard between these two monitors.
Pros with the ASUS:

• Far better reputation (the other one allegedly had backlight bleed from one review)
• Lower price

Cons with the ASUS:

• Lower refresh rate
• Bad refresh rate considering limited amount of divisors
• 300 nits instead of 400 nits

@steel umbra

[steel umbra]

check yourself for a review for these monitors you listed

[vestal stream]

either way 40 bucks for 1TB is lowkey cheap ngl

[steel umbra]

the review should have: color accuracy, contrast ratio, pixel response, etc.

[vestal stream]

i wonder if it has dram

[tacit star]

The more nits can stand for a better image

[steel umbra]

pixel response includes - pic of a moving object on the screen (optionally), overshoot, undershoot (ghosting), transition aka how fast the pixel shifts to it’s correct values

[white pawn]

Doesn’t have a video review sadly

[steel umbra]

if you find a review that lists visual graph of how the pixels response by switching to certain grays, blacks, white that’s the best like rtings

[steel umbra]

avoid

short by cheapest and check each until you find one with a review and you think it’s satisfactory

[white pawn]

Okay

[tacit star]

I'd in general avoid Acer as they often don't disclose their specs

[slender parcel]

when is the best time to buy for black friday deals?

[tacit star]

Avoid unless recommended by a media or know what you are getting

[white pawn]

What specs do they specifically not show?

oops you scrolled through a bit of text
samsung monitor: here ya you like yellow and trails rite

[night delta]

here

[tacit star]

If the panel (and factory calibration) is better then i'd 100% go for it over the Asus

[night delta]

they both have the same color depth natively, but ASUS has 10 bit via FRC

Samsung is a bit brighter, but ASUS has a wider color gamut

[white pawn]

There’s also a third one

https://www.canadacomputers.com/en/25-29-gaming-monitors/270990/acer-nitro-vg272u-27-wqhd-240hz-0-5ms-gaming-monitor-umhv2aa203.html

[white pawn]

Great price but I’m skeptical about it

[white pawn]

400 nits btw

[tacit star]

Well if everything is the same then look for things like factory calibration, cables included, etc.

[white pawn]

They don’t include a displayport 1.4 cable

[tacit star]

Bootleg crap HDMI then?

[white pawn]

Prolly

[tacit star]

I hate HDMI

I really do

It's like a deliberately crippled version of DP

[empty quartz]

Ngl, this was the shit to have back in the ddr3 days

[night delta]

A great thing about DP is that you can use AdaptiveSync (or FreeSync or G SYNC) on practically any monitors that has one of those 3 but not the other

and also better color depth (less banding)

[tacit star]

Well usually if everything is the same then you start nitpicking about the small details you prefer in order to pick the right monitor

[white pawn]

If you were me, which monitor would you pick out of the three I sent?

[night delta]

Imo the asus is a bit better

screen real estate is a fraction smaller but thats like barely much

[white pawn]

“Screen real estate” 😭

[night delta]

Basically how much bezels are there

[rigid fjord]

the fun parts

[white pawn]

Rauko are you good at picking monitors

[south arrow]

Cl 10🔥

[sleek ibex]

Yeah... Especially when you're figuring out how to have 66 and 33 work

[tacit star]

And there are more important things like firmware and button control

[rigid fjord]

@white pawnany monitor you look at, check to see if there's a review of it on rtings.com

[tacit star]

Oh yes, fuck you button controls, joystick has to take over

I am talking to you, Acer

[white pawn]

Not of the one I’m considering

[rigid fjord]

funily enough, no if i was to pick a monitor, i'd end up choosing a tv instead

[tacit star]

Don't Monitors Unboxed have a video about a particular model, or "The best monitor" for what you are looking for?

[plain cypress]

Unfortunately they can't test every monitor

[ivory mountain]

is ts game a gacha what is it

[white pawn]

The only video I found was an AI reading an AI script 💀

[night delta]

The acer i have has both.

[tacit star]

I know, I ask if there is a video about the monitors he is looking at or at least mentioning them in a ranking

[rigid fjord]

that's hub's other channel, and yes it has reviews of several monitors, but there's also the likes of rtingswhich shows what it'll be better for

[night delta]

The buttons for menu shortcuts and joysticks for navigation

[rigid fjord]

then you be on the wrong channel

[tacit star]

I know who HUB and MUB are lol

yours and mine is probably the same thing, just "rated" differently, plus mine is twice the modules

So theyre shot and crap

What brand and model?

Logitech what? Check the model at the back

[brave brook]

no. yours is b-die 2x16GB DDR4-3600CL16. Mine is b-die 4x16GB DDR4-3200CL14. And both are Trident Z RGB. So the only diff between your modules and my modules is what is flashed into the SPD, plus that i got twice the module count 😄

I don't need 64, and 64 is too expensive for something I won't utilise 😶

bruh my headphones stopped working

[brave brook]

well, as i said, i bought these in 2018. At peak of DDR4 pricing. 975 euros. Current prices are nowhere as bad as back then

I think 3600/16 is in most cases better than 3200/14 unless you are doing some niche tasks like video rendering? Where the timing matters heaps

[tacit star]

Those were the dark times

[fervent smelt]

rip these chinese headphones

what i say that they are literally the same chips, only SPD is different because yours were made later. Hell, i overclocked them to 3600CL14 just by changing the RAM clock in BIOS.

[vague talon]

You plan to play 1080p or 1440p?
It all comes down to that

If you go with the 5070 save some money and go with a 9600x instead of the 7700x

[latent pasture]

or 7600

or any of the variants

[hexed tapir]

5070 is the much better pick

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B092VLCWCP something like these

[royal stone]

u guys think the Crucial T710 4TB SSD for 300usd is a good deal?

[rigid fjord]

no

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/cDJp99/

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Fd3NnQ/ there is this also

[white pawn]

1440P LOOKS SO PEAK OMG

I'M NEVER SWITCHING BACK EVER

[grim moon]

Right? Its such a good sweetspot for gaming

1440p ultrawide is where its at

[white pawn]

Yeah I friggin' love it omg

[rigid fjord]

wait til you see 4k on a 40"+ screen

[white pawn]

And it's 210 hz as well, feels like I'm literally in heaven

[white pawn]

Glossy OLED 4k 40"

I'm in love with the colors of this monitor too, genuinely good IPS on this one

The blacks are pretty black to me

Haven't turned off my lights yet tho

[grim moon]

I need to get myself an oled panel. Go with they way of Plouffe with the Alienware UW

[white pawn]

I'm jumping into rdr2 my pc aint gonna be able to handle this haha

[rigid fjord]

4k 144hz tv's exist to make you go nah to a monitor

[white pawn]

I love 27"

It's the perfect size imo I thought it was gonna be smaller

[grim moon]

Big TV gaming is neat and all but I prefer monitor on a desktop. Could just be because I play fps games

[white pawn]

Yeah I'm getting a new controller so I can play rl again

[grim moon]

Steam controller >:D

[white pawn]

Hooooly I'm so glad I didn't buy a 1080p 😁

Guess how much this one cost

[rigid fjord]

miniled

[steel umbra]

wait until you see 8k

[white pawn]

Wait til you see 16k

[grim moon]

8K is too early. Not nearly enough 8k content

[white pawn]

It's all about the PPI, not the resolution.

[boreal vine]

yeah 1440p is just so much better

[white pawn]

Yeah this monitor was US$160 AFTER tax

[grim moon]

not bad for 1440

[boreal vine]

Now go buy a nice keyboard

[grim moon]

as long as the panel color quality is good

[white pawn]

I have a $7 keyboard lol

[grim moon]

oof yeah time to get yourself something nice lol

[white pawn]

Ima wish for it for christmas instead

[rigid fjord]

previous versions of the same tv

[white pawn]

A hall-effect keyboard

[rigid fjord]

the even better models that'll cost you a kidney for it

[grim moon]

Oh neat. I've seen Glorious' new hall effect switches but haven't gotten a chance to try em yet

[boreal vine]

more reasons to get a keyboard

[grim moon]

Good peripherals are just as, if not, more important than the PC you're using them on

[boreal vine]

exactly

[mint umbra]

Depends

[white pawn]

1080p looks like 720p on this monitor 💀

[ivory mountain]

pretty sure u can flip ur block and the actual plate of the lf3

[grim moon]

Oh absolutely but if you're running a 1440p system then most definitely

[mint umbra]

Not all peripherals are equal

[grim moon]

And I'm not saying more expensive peripherals are better than cheaper ones

[white pawn]

I'm clocking this system:
RX 6800, Ryzen 7 7700X and 2x16 GB 6000 MHz CL30 DDR5 RAM

[mint umbra]

like a average mouse and keyboard is enough for mst

[white pawn]

Might be a huge CPU bottleneck but anyway

[boreal vine]

what is average anyways

[boreal vine]

nah it's fine

i'm personally running a 6800 too

[mint umbra]

Think biggest difference for peripherals is monitor

[boreal vine]

but with a 12900k

[white pawn]

6800 is pretty damn good

[mint umbra]

like 50 bucks each

[white pawn]

But I can't play RDR2 at 1440p and achieve 200 fps tho

[grim moon]

Whats the refresh rate of your monitor?

[boreal vine]

Its cheap as well

[white pawn]

200 hz, 210 if you overclock it

[grim moon]

I see

[mint umbra]

Im getting a worse tier gpu next upgrade

[white pawn]

I don't see why anyone in their right mind would get a 540 hz monitor

[mint umbra]

prob going for 70 series nivida gpu after im done with my 7900xtx

[white pawn]

Ima try out geometry dash rn lol at least I've got the G502 Hero

[mint umbra]

this thing using to much power

[grim moon]

540hz I can see if you're playing at an esports level but otherwise not necessary in the slightest

[white pawn]

Haven't played gd in like 2 years

[grim moon]

Something where you need that high pixel refresh in something like CS2

[mint umbra]

g502 is too expensive these days

[white pawn]

Exactly

[mint umbra]

the new g502 is like 200 cad

[white pawn]

I got the hero wired

[grim moon]

Is that the one that goes with the wireless charger though?

[mint umbra]

why is a mouse that has been refreshed for like 10 years so exoensive

[grim moon]

Even so too expensive but just curious

Because if I'm not mistaken there's different versions of the g502 now

lightspeed, hero, etc.

[rigid fjord]

lightspeed is just the hero but in wireless form

[grim moon]

ah right. Been a minute since I've looked at Logitech's offerings

[white pawn]

Geometry dash lookin like heaven somehow

[rigid fjord]

and a g502x is no different from the lightspeed but having it look more closer to a g-pro

[grim moon]

I've personally got an xtrfy m4 wireless that has treated me well for quite some time.

[rigid fjord]

i have a g502 hero with extra weights put into it

[grim moon]

I will say I do miss the infinite scrolling of the g502

[white pawn]

No ghosting, amazing colors, 1440p200, this is amazing

Are there any settings I should tweak after getting it?

Other than freesync

[grim moon]

I'd say just kinda work with the settings to adjust to your liking. Find the brightness, sharpness, contrast, gamma, and color temp your eyes feel most fond with

Also make sure that you have appropriate response times and Hz set on the monitor

Sometimes that can be easily overlooked

[white pawn]

I JUST FOUND A SETTING THAT MADE IT EVEN BRIGHTER SOMEHOW

[rigid fjord]

only do this while calibrating it with adobe's colour profile

https://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/iccprofiles/icc_eula_win_end.html

this links to the profile btw

[left trellis]

chat

cheapest 3080 heatsink that I can buy?

[rigid fjord]

there is none, it has to match the 3080 you're using

[left trellis]

I see, thought they were all compatible but guess not

I have the EVGA FTW3 3080

is there any way to run a gpu without a heatsink or waterblock?

not for gaming but for like

testing

[rigid fjord]

nope

[grim moon]

You should be able to find a used one on like ebay or something but make sure you get all the thermal pads and whatnot. Not something you want to mess with really unless you know exactly what you're doing.

There is currently a bundle AMD bundle going on micro center, pairing the 7800x3d with the ASUS B650E-E TUF Gaming WiFi AM5 I plan on pairing it with the 9060xt but wanted to know is that motherboard gonna hurt me in the long run

[tawny lava]

I have a herman miller at work and i was wondering if its worth buying a herman miller for the home office

[steel umbra]

if you can assemble a chair no

unless it really fits your posture

[iron ruin]

I got an Attack Shark X11 because of that one video about off-brand mice earlier this year. Damn, this thing feels as premium as my old Superlight did, before it's scroll wheel died cause Logitech kinda sucks.

[plain cypress]

It may be mean to you and hurt your feelings

But the board will perform fine

[azure topaz]

@plain cypress overclock

[plain cypress]

Excuse me what

I'm not overclocking rn

[azure topaz]

thats an order soldier

mm but why not

[plain cypress]

Do I need to undervolt the 5070ti

[azure topaz]

no but you can ig

at 900mv w/2.6ghz core i only drew like 215w in gaming

you can get it down to like 180 or something im sure and probably not lose much perf

[left trellis]

the 75 usd 2tb sn850x hasnt shipped, only a label created for 8 days, am I cooked 😭

[sleek ibex]

From whom?

As in retailer

[left trellis]

faecbook marketplace

after giving the policy a quick read it seems itd be protected

[desert briar]

Hurt my feelings I’m confused I just want the hard truth 😭

[tawny lava]

You should always undervolt

[random gyro]

$400 NAS

Please help (can be used IDC) minimum 8tb

Or 4tb it doesn’t matter toooooo much

[grizzled frost]

random office pc and three 4tb hdds for 8tb

[nimble burrow]

so i just got a new pc. Looking inside it seems to complicated for me to install my hdds. Anyone know of a good hard drive docking station? I have 4 drives. I can find decent 2 bay ones but not 4

[plain cypress]

i'm gonna overvolt just to spite you

[formal sonnet]

HDDs are one of the simpler things to install... unless your case / motherboard doesn't have enough connections for your drives, of course. If you share details about your computer, we might be able to help.

If this computer is a pre-built, share the exact MAKE and MODEL number. If this is a custom-built computer, share the Case and Motherboard manufacturer and models.

The "best" <thing> is the <thing> that lets you get the shit done that you need to do. For some, this is MacOS. For others, this is Windows, For even others, this is Linux. And for those over there, this might be OpenVMS.

[lethal swift]

Should i get the legion 5i 5050 or the acer nitro v16s with a 5060

benchmarks say that the legion exceeds the nitro in every way except fo battery life though

[sleek ibex]

That's a very 90s mindset to have

There was a reason why they were on death's doorstep in circa 1996-1997

Questionable pricing combined with abysmal marketing during the Spindler regime and breifly Amelio

Not saying it is like that now for Apple

But that mindset was one of the catalysts to their near-death experience during that period

[sonic ridge]

I need some laptop advice guys

I found an HP ryzen 9, rtx 4070, 16 gb upgradeable for $1700, 1 tb ssd

[formal sonnet]

Personally, I'd get the Lenovo because they make the service manuals available for most of their products.

[sonic ridge]

I also found an alienware ultra 9, rtx 5070, 32 gigs and 2 tb ssd for the same price

which one should I go for?

[spring latch]

had some fun with my RAM, tCL from 16 to 14, and tRCD from 18 to 16, the voltage was 1.36V stock and it seems to do fine, the system does respond quite a little better too

if the CPU supported over 2400MHz im sure it'd be even better but 7th gen intel is 2400MHz cap

[spring latch]

also with HP theres a chance that u will have a hinge sticking out the back within 2 years, guarentee

[midnight eagle]

Just a quick thing, where do I put the front panel connector? I assume on the left of the picture from the mobo?

[formal sonnet]

Only with certain models, and only if you don't treat your laptop like the precision electronic device it is.

[sonic ridge]

@formal sonnet (sorry for the ping 😅)

[spring latch]

fair, my HP x360 was a 360 convertable, probably one of the reasons it had this issue, though it took 4 or 5 years (7 years since the original owners purchase) and not 2

[formal sonnet]

With the information provided, the Alienware is only just over 1 year old at most, so that's what I'd go with.

[spring latch]

still wishing I had my HP x360, was an i3 8130U and served the convinience of solid power for my use case, and portability (though the battery was a little worn out)

of course in 2023 i didnt know how easy the fix wouldve been and i just scrapped it

it was literally just missing screws.

[sonic ridge]

it's brand new

[formal sonnet]

I mean the realease date of the parts.

[sonic ridge]

oh

but alienware's cooling systems aren't really good apparently

[spring latch]

my i5 7400 PC (or more rather my fathers 😊 ) is like 7 or 8 years old and is still going strong

recently upgraded it from single channel 8GB to dual channel 16GB

[sonic ridge]

i did for mine too but when i was reseating the rams due to some display issue, i somehow broke a slot

the 2nd ram still isn't being picked up lol

[spring latch]

4GB RX 580, not 8GB but it plays say, BeamNG.Drive solid (older versions)

i prefer version 0.14, it works on everything with solid hardware that ive owned, and it has enough cars and maps to have fun

[sonic ridge]

😭

[spring latch]

what CPU there

[sonic ridge]

ryzen 5 5500U

[spring latch]

not bad, solid CPU

[sonic ridge]

somehow cpuz readin my extra ram but not the system itself

[spring latch]

then thats a BIOS or CPU thing

how much did you try to install

[lethal swift]

sick

thanks 4 lmk

[oak tundra]

yo can someone help me and my homie with this shit

we have a post in tech support titled "Utility using high CPU% all the time" and we lowkey need some help

[pseudo nova]

you can type this into chatgpt "how to fix "Utility using high CPU% all the time"

it will give you stuff to try normally what i do day to day lol

[oak tundra]

yea but it's just gonna recite the same exact thing from the reddit threads and windows threads we've already read to try and fix this issue

half the people have said to uninstall microsoft edge and it did nothing for us

and plus he already did and it literally did exactly as i said it would

[pseudo nova]

what is using the most right now?

[oak tundra]

it pulled from reddit and windows for the response we already read

[azure topaz]

MORE DINGO COOKIN

[oak tundra]

microsoft edge webview2

using 8-15% of his cpu at all times

[azure topaz]

chris titus debloat script, use it, disable telementary, save and exit

[frigid blade]

bro I hate microsoft so much

[oak tundra]

telemetry is already disabled through ultimate windows tweaker when he first set his pc up

[frigid blade]

editing the INF file for your GPU driver does not update the data even after reinstalling the drivers

[oak tundra]

unless it's another sort of thing

[frigid blade]

its so fucking stupid

[oak tundra]

i mean we can still try it and see if it works

[frigid blade]

im trying to update the driver date and version because the hyper-v gpu paravirtualization driver that gets generated by microsoft is so old that some games just think youre running such outdated hardware that you cant use anything other than the low settings

[sonic ridge]

i have 2 8gb rams

it initially worked but i once reseated the rams a couple days ago and the 2nd slot stopped working altogether

[pseudo nova]

win11?

[sonic ridge]

i can't change the memory settings on the BIOS. it's locked for HP laptops ;-;

[robust heron]

Boutta dual boot ubuntu and windows 11 hopefull this goes good!

🙏🙏🙏

[sonic ridge]

good luck blud

[robust heron]

thx

[sonic ridge]

if i had enough storage and ram, my cpu could handle dual booting 😭

[robust heron]

last time i bricked my system bc my baby sister unplugged my usb flash drive

[robust heron]

lol

[sonic ridge]

ryzen 5 stuck with 256 gb ssd and 8 gb ram. absolute trash combo

[sonic ridge]

😂

[robust heron]

i have a ryzen 7 3800x and 32gb of ddr4 and rtx 2070 super

[azure topaz]

then slow pc idk

[sonic ridge]

oh and integrated graphics - 512 mb

[azure topaz]

It's not about being broke? I could purchase multiple entire ecosystem's of Apple products right now. That doesn't mean they're the "best" option for my needs. But they might be for someone else's needs.
