[frigid blade]

I only need it for the games that have kernel level anti-cheat because ive found theyre the only ones that really care about being in a virtualized system

but thats not a low number of games

[scarlet tartan]

Vega 8 and 11

Even newer ones like the Radeon 680m

The 680M was quite impressive

[frigid blade]

anyone played with the radeon 8060s?

[scarlet tartan]

Still is, iGPU wise

[frigid blade]

4060 (latop) level performance is pretty good for an iGPU

[scarlet tartan]

Not yet, and I don't expect to because its primary use case is AI

[harsh falcon]

Do you guys think i could run minecraft?

[frigid blade]

serious question? if so yes

[harsh falcon]

thx m8

[swift stream]

i mean if my computer can run these

[scarlet tartan]

Devices with that are also as or more expensive than 4060 mobile devices, at least in my place

[scarlet tartan]

THat's a lot of adobe

[harsh falcon]

both express and web??

[frigid blade]

i was talking about earlier I was running vanilla minecraft on an i5-4500U 1080p60fps stable

[harsh falcon]

what a baller

[harsh falcon]

on intergrated?

[frigid blade]

yah

[scarlet tartan]

Minecraft is pretty well behaved actually

[scarlet tartan]

What was the chunk size?

[frigid blade]

8 chunks

the recording software caused the frames to drop a bit, this recording is in 720p

[swift stream]

base game, yeh. Shaders, prob not.

[harsh falcon]

ill challenge yo

you

[swift stream]

my computer can run shaders but i use a amd equivilant of a 3070 ti - 4060

[frigid blade]

sorry i5-4300U

I keep forgetting the names for these older chips

this laptop was undervolted and overclocked though, not a lot

I had to install custom BIOS for the overclock to unlock the settings

[swift stream]

guys I forgot I was in Windows Insider and downloading insider update by accident

[abstract wigeon]

minecraft multi threading gives me a headache

super duper single threaded until it decides to use 110% of ever thread once a blue moon

[frigid blade]

i used to until i thought about it and i would not like unstable OS running on my main pc

pre-release on random github projects, sure, windows? no thanks

[swift stream]

im only in beta channel so i should be fine, but I will join release canidate channel

[frigid blade]

it seems to be bricking on official releases anyway lol

what was that thing with the SSDs?

Im glad it didnt affect me

Im gonna keep complaining because its pissing me off but microsoft i so stupid

for some reason editing the INF file for a GPU when you use GPU-PV with Hyper-V, does not update on the VM

So even though Ive literally changed the driver version and date, it still shows up as this

That causes stuff like this

Thats War Thunder

hi, i dont know much about pc building so thats why im asking:
im planning on replacing the thermal putty on the vram and vreg in my asus tuf f15 gaming laptop.
i dont want this to last very long without replacing it.
is this thermal putty i linked good?
is there something you would recommend instead?

[frigid blade]

Why is it seeing 32 when the device manager sees 10 😭

[distant frigate]

Yoooo they might cut this tree down

[harsh falcon]

uhh

[dense stone]

Tf

My pc gets 1kfps on 24chunk with my r5 5600g and rx580🫩

Try use norisk client or lunar

[harsh falcon]

24 chunk??

i barely can get over 12

[dense stone]

@harsh falcon

[harsh falcon]

ah okaky

ill try it

[dense stone]

Minecraft without mods runs like shit

I usually gets 50-70 fps in 8chunks on my laptop

But when I downloaded norisk I get like 200-180 in 16chunks

[harsh falcon]

with my specs how much do you think i could get with norisk?

[dense stone]

Easily above 400

[frigid blade]

bro how

[frigid blade]

its not true at all

you guys are doing something wrong, I literally uploaded a video of my laptop from 2013 running it just fine

[dense stone]

For it is

[dense stone]

Vanilla?

[frigid blade]

yes

[dense stone]

Huh

[frigid blade]

1080p60fps when im not recording, it drops to 55 when its recording

the recording is a little broken though

[dense stone]

My laptop i5 1334u struggle to run it vanilla

[frigid blade]

idk what you people are doing

the only reason I did this test was because someone bet me I couldnt even get it running 1080p30 stable

720p runs 90fps but jumps around when loading chunks

[dense stone]

I will try it wait a sec

Last time I played vanilla was like 1.20.2

Something near that

[frigid blade]

WAIT HAH, warthunder got an update at some point

it doesnt force me to run shitty graphics because it cant recognize the VRAM

[dense stone]

It did 5 days ago

[frigid blade]

yah i know but i had this one niche issue

its gone now

[dense stone]

Which nation do you play in wt

[frigid blade]

Im testing GPU paravirtualization with VMs with my 4090, I had an issue with the older version of war thunder which forced the game to run on low settings

for some reason it still gives me the error that it cant recognize it, but it lets me change settings now

[frigid blade]

ussr, germany, usa

i have some of israel done too

am the furthest with israel because I wanted the AML-90

its easier/faster than doing french tree

[dense stone]

Israel is nice nation to play but my Palestinian friend will get mad from me if I played it lol

[frigid blade]

A lot of the tanks arent even israeli anyway

just foreign models

[dense stone]

Its tooo small thats why its good

Rank v aviation is only 3 jets

[daring crystal]

🐦 X has removed the feature which allows users to check the location of other users.

This is likely due to the severe amount of Pro Israel/Russia/US/China accounts being exposed as indians.

[dense stone]

Insane

[distant frigate]

They are doing the branches first

[frigid blade]

I was even able to enable Ray Tracing now

[ebon marlin]

I thought it was already known that they're all indians and mostly the Pro US accounts being from russia lmao

[dense stone]

Im grinding avaiton Italy

[frigid blade]

im sorry i hate air

its too boring for me

[dense stone]

I play usa ground to i got my first rank 3 tank yesterday

[frigid blade]

you play on debian?

[dense stone]

Ye because linux version of war thunder uses vulkan

[tulip storm]

My dad just found some old Sony Ericsson phones and was about to throw them out. i stopped him, becuase some old phones are actually worth something. my question is. is it actually possible to sell old phones, and are the prices that some phones are listed for unrealistically high?

[dense stone]

Its wayyyyy better than dx11 or dx12

Men I hate this keyboard

[frigid blade]

I cant use vulkan sadly

[dense stone]

I cant type right

[frigid blade]

I can use OpenGL but its just a translation layer to DirectX12

[dense stone]

Huh vulkan is really important thing why it didn't support it

[frigid blade]

Because Microsoft is lazy

Its only a niche issue, im joking btw ^

i think im in the .1% who runs into these issues lol

[dense stone]

My rx580 will explode if I tried to use it like urs gpu

Its alr giving it life

The temps are usually 95⁰

[scarlet tartan]

Probably old thermal paste

[dense stone]

Yeah I bought it used for 20$

[scarlet tartan]

Very good price

[empty quartz]

Mrrp

[empty quartz]

Just get some arctic mx-4 or mx-6

[dense stone]

I found it for 5 bucks i will buy it but should I get thermal pads with it?

[empty quartz]

Thermal pads should be fine, but you can if ya want

[dense stone]

Ok

[scarlet tartan]

If you have any experience, you can try repasting it too. But only if you know what you're doing.

[gleaming rose]

my domain subscription lapsed
whoopsie :3

[harsh falcon]

bro you might need to renew it bro

[kindred halo]

Using these two images for my FBMP listing.. Do I need any more?

[harsh falcon]

yes

you need a photo of all the fans

[kindred halo]

Like?

.. Why?

[harsh falcon]

to hypontize the buyer with the spinning lights into buying the listing

[kindred halo]

Lmao fair enough

[gleaming rose]

ok fuck podman im never using this piece of shit again

[ebon marlin]

Only these 2?

Try to atleast get good looking pictures

[kindred halo]

What sort of images should I get?

[ebon marlin]

Pictures sell the product

[ebon marlin]

Get a good angle picture

Lemme see if I can find any examples from mine

[gleaming rose]

:3

[ebon marlin]

Gay

For example one of my older pcs I had sold

Another old pc I sold pictures

[gleaming rose]

meh there's a 90 day grace period, just renewed it

[frigid blade]

well what a wonderful surprise

Apparently I got another Refund from my College

I thought the MAP grant wasnt refunded unless you actually had tuition to pay and they kept the extra

i might be able to afford an upgrade now

get rid of this fuckass motherboard

[kindred halo]

Oh makes sense

Unfortunately I don't have the camera quality for this 💔

I have an A16 with a horrible lense

[nimble burrow]

Is userbenchmark bad or good?

[kindred halo]

But a 3rd party camera app might help with the "smoothening" of images

[ebon marlin]

You don't need a good camera to take an angle shot

[kindred halo]

I know, I just meant that I can't take images as clear as these (regardless of angle)

[ebon marlin]

I can't remember what phone I had then maybe an iPhone 13 or a Z Flip 4

[kindred halo]

Yeah both defo have a better camera than mine </3

[wheat torrent]

did yall see nano banana pro

[ebon marlin]

Is this the worst named thing ever

[cosmic lance]

this valid upgrade for 1000 MAD? (100$)

[ebon marlin]

Is AliExpress an option

[gleaming rose]

yay now all my services are protected by cloudflare access

(except immich which just uses oauth so i can share things)

[raven parcel]

hey guys, just wondering if a underpowered PSU can throttle performance? even if system is stable?

[ebon marlin]

Specs and whats the psu rated for

[raven parcel]

just got a 9800x3d but my psu is only 650/750w (too lazy to check tbh, will in a bit) with a 4070 super, wondered if it is 650 like i think, maybe the cpu wouldnt be able to boost as much?

[gleaming rose]

you can manually throttle performance to prevent the system from overdrawing the psu

[random gyro]

legit facts

[gleaming rose]

if the system overdraws the psu it will likely shut down

[raven parcel]

Ah okay thought so

[gleaming rose]

you're probably going to be on the edge of overdrawing it or slightly below with those specs

[raven parcel]

So there is no throttling to protect itself like thermal throttling in a psu then?

[gleaming rose]

the system doesn't really know how much it's actually drawing

[raven parcel]

Ah okay

[gleaming rose]

so it can't throttle

[raven parcel]

Gotcha, appreciate it mate

[ebon marlin]

Ain't no way people's privacy paranoia is that bad that people think an anticheat is associated with the US's government

[gleaming rose]

i'd rather have the chinese government have my info than the US one

because at least if the chinese government gets my info they can't really use it against me

[random gyro]

vangaurd

[ebon marlin]

I live in EU the US can't do anything with my info

[ebon marlin]

?

[random gyro]

Black Hat Hackers still exist

[ebon marlin]

Ok and?

[gleaming rose]

ok you're actually schizo

yeah criminals exist if you walk on the street you could get shot

it doesn't really happen to regular people often

[random gyro]

i am

[ebon marlin]

Basically never

[gleaming rose]

yeah

[random gyro]

only the people with high value

[gleaming rose]

if you're high profile then it's a different story but you're a schizo that posts shit like this online you're probably not high profile

nobody wants your information

[ebon marlin]

The hacker after gathering my info from the McDonalds app realising I like burgers

[gleaming rose]

LMAO

[pale valley]

Yo guys I need a lil help

[gleaming rose]

shinji pfp based, what's up?

i love profiling people based on their username and pfp

[pale valley]

I have an insanely old laptop (artifact level old) and I wanna upgrade it

[pale valley]

Lol

[gleaming rose]

unlikely you can do much other than upgrade the ram

[pale valley]

Yeh ik . I'm planning to buy 16gb ram since I only have 4 rn

[gleaming rose]

are you sure the cpu supports that much?

[random gyro]

depends on if you need it really, if you don't want it, just don't

[ebon marlin]

On old old older laptops you could upgrade cpus and gpus

[pale valley]

Is that enough to run Windows 8 (I have i5 2ne gen)

[pale valley]

Yeh I checked all the specs

[plush wren]

mcbillionaire

[pale valley]

Sadly mine is not that old

[gleaming rose]

i do what i can to protect my info but i try not to be schizo about it

i.e. i selfhost everything that carries personal data now

[pale valley]

Btw. My laptop comes pre installed with windows 8. So if I download Windows 10 will it be activated.

[gleaming rose]

probably but you can always just pirate it

[pale valley]

Sure but I'm a bit paranoid abt that

[gleaming rose]

ehh nothing to worry about

[pale valley]

Any websites that are safe?

[ebon marlin]

I pirate windows on all my devices

[ebon marlin]

Don't need a website powershell is all you need

[gleaming rose]

the tool that everyone uses has been known to be used by microsoft customer support as well

[random gyro]

pretty cautious about my data, and also not schizo about it, as i have gotten a trojan on my PC but it was a shit at hiding so i removed it easily

[gleaming rose]

check your dms @pale valley

[ebon marlin]

You getting a trojan on your pc is just you being stupid

[pale valley]

Okah

[plush wren]

https://tenor.com/view/balls-gif-15494216853001712776

[gleaming rose]

catto if you want to DM this individual as well with the same thing so that way they aren't just taking my word for it that may ease their mind a bit

[random gyro]

it was stupid mistake of downloading a emulator from skechy dublicate website

[ebon marlin]

Why are we downloading sketchy emulators when there's well known emulators for every single console

[pale valley]

Ahh yes. Nothing better than pirating things you can't afford

[plush wren]

I pirate things I can afford as well

[ebon marlin]

Eh it's just a massive grave

[gleaming rose]

[plush wren]

https://tenor.com/view/those-who-mow-those-who-know-gif-6741124947321800836

[random gyro]

it was dublicate website and very very similar to the main legit on

[ebon marlin]

Only thing I've ever pirated is Sims 4 with all the dlcs for my girlfriend I can afford stuff just fine personally

[gleaming rose]

piracy is just more convenient for streaming

[plush wren]

yes

[pale valley]

True

[gleaming rose]

i do own all of the games i play though - and i actually just subscribed to a youtuber i like on patreon so i can watch his videos and support him

[plush wren]

but also why would i spend money on something if i dont have to

[ebon marlin]

You're the reason why cyber security is taught in school

[pale valley]

I pirate cuz my laptop so shi. It can't run steam

[random gyro]

i was lucky that the malware was a shit at hiding and it found it's powershell payloads

[gleaming rose]

this guy reminds me of tgod

[random gyro]

and i detected very early just after minutes of installing it

[ebon marlin]

yummy just realised my account reached 3k value

[plush wren]

i got password logged once and nothing happened after that as far as im aware

they never got anything anyways since i changed everything instantly

[pale valley]

Damn . Nice

Yo can I send links here. I found a ram kit on amazon. Just wanna make sure its good

[ebon marlin]

Yuh just delete everything after the ? On the link

[gleaming rose]

yes

[random gyro]

the malware was just poorly designed. and also the website popped up at the top so i hurriedly clicked it without checking its url

[pale valley]

I don't see a ?. That fine?

[ebon marlin]

https://tenor.com/view/ohnepixel-ohne-what-vas-wtf-gif-14750849636315903969

and day after the incident the website was down

[ebon marlin]

Ah okay it's correct

[pale valley]

Btw i have an old laptop

[ebon marlin]

Solid deal

[plush wren]

[pale valley]

Okah. Ima but it soon

[torn mango]

What we think of the build chat

[ebon marlin]

Poop

Did you use chatgpt for the list lmao

[cloud canopy]

Is anyone proficient in solving networking issues? My riot client is having its friends list disappear and reappear. I've tried troubleshooting for about an hour now. Anyone willing to help?

[orchid garnet]

yall think this ssd is good?

[ebon marlin]

It's QLC I'd avoid

Get an ssd with TLC flash any ssd with TLC flash will be just fine

[torn mango]

Nope most of it was actually from a list someone in here recommended, I just changed a few things

[ebon marlin]

still pretty poop

[brazen glen]

What’s wrong with it

That’s a totally reasonable build for 1440p

[ebon marlin]

eh maybe on medium settings

[ebon marlin]

what's the lists budget

[torn mango]

1,500

Maybe a little more

[ebon marlin]

1.5k usd and you end up with a build worth 800-1k at most

https://tenor.com/view/ohnepixel-ohne-what-vas-wtf-gif-14750849636315903969

[torn mango]

That graphics card it self was 700$ 😂😂

[ebon marlin]

oh mb I thought it was a 9060xt

[torn mango]

Nah

[ebon marlin]

still there's losts to do still on that list

[torn mango]

Idk I think it’s pretty solid, did a lot of research watched a lot of ZTT and Techsource

[ebon marlin]

"ZTT"

[torn mango]

We got some haters in the chat

[ebon marlin]

not a hater dude is literally just a genuine dumbass

dude does not know what he ever talks about

[gleaming rose]

ztt

zach's terrible teachings

[sinful cobalt]

Its decent, I’d get more than 1TB for the SSD though.

[ionic peak]

16tb

[sinful cobalt]

also, if 7600 is cheaper go for it unless its a 10 buck diff

[sinful cobalt]

what 16tb ur lanjiao

[ionic peak]

Nvme

[torn mango]

I already have everything that’s the complete list and I plan on upgradingthe storage just all I could afford atm

oh man

[stuck spruce]

BUT WHY THE FUCK DID THEY RESTRICT IT IN THE FIRST PLACE

[ebon marlin]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/7LXT8Q 1.5k list

[sinful cobalt]

If its all you could afford, I wouldnt go for the O11

[torn mango]

For the SSD

[sinful cobalt]

Okay nevermind its the mini

[keen folio]

https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/mpY4yW anything i should change? its for my boss as he wants a Mini PC for his Work van where he can game when hes on the road. He got the needed power outlet in his van with the needed current. it can supply 2000w at max.

[stray portal]

Its tuff

For 1300 euros i got a ryzen 7 5700x and rx 7800xt 🤑 that was the market then but honestly im more than happy!!!

[empty quartz]

Chat hear me out

[rancid solstice]

Didn’t realise how massive these cards are

[empty quartz]

You fell for it 😔

[grizzled frost]

i mean you bought like the biggest card out there

[rancid solstice]

it aint mine

i wish it was tho

[empty quartz]

Thank fuck

Overpriced, and not worth it

[empty quartz]

What card is that?

5080?

[rancid solstice]

5080

[empty quartz]

So def not worth it

[rancid solstice]

it should be cheaper than 5090 as far as im aware

[empty quartz]

Id get if asus made the 3090/4090/5090 with noctua, but i dont get something like a 5080

[raw trout]

I like those noctua looking fanw

[rancid solstice]

It’s not gonna be as expensive as this card lol

[sinful cobalt]

The only card that benefits the most from noctua, does not get the noctua treatment

[empty quartz]

“Benefits”*

[sinful cobalt]

i cant bruh the 4 slot poop design on a 5080 is just somehow funny

[empty quartz]

its not worth the extra $400 cad for a cooler like that

[rancid solstice]

wonder if anyone has swapped in the g2 fan into this psu

[empty quartz]

@sinful cobalt i have an idea

I sell my macbook pro and buy a 5090 /hj

[rancid solstice]

do it

[livid fern]

Ngl but the fan sucks compared to HA13525H12F-Z

[sinful cobalt]

So… efficiency traded for a mini heater best suited for cats

[empty quartz]

My laptop is still worth over 3,000 cad

[rancid solstice]

speaking of 5090, i saw that asus anniversary card at where i work

[empty quartz]

Stealed

[rancid solstice]

this one

[velvet hazel]

Here's what I got for a build I couldn't choose a air cooler cuz I don't know a good low profile one but here's what I got so far anything I should improve or change.

[empty quartz]

What a cringey name “white fang hacker”

proceedes to get doxxed by him and have all my bank accounts stolen /j

[sinful cobalt]

[velvet hazel]

500-700 (that would be my estimated budget for this)

[empty quartz]

Why do you have 2 cpu coolers, and no gpu?

[velvet hazel]

I don't know too much about cooler so I just put two good ones with reviews!

[sinful cobalt]

Best LP cooler for ryzen’s the AXP90x47

[empty quartz]

Outdated cpu, f tier ssd’s, and no gpu

10/10 parts list

[velvet hazel]

Again I don't know too much about graphics cards and what power supply would go with it so I got the basics and what I know would work.

[empty quartz]

@velvet hazel please tell me that the ztt server didnt recommend those parts

[ebon marlin]

There's one by glorious

[empty quartz]

Is it as large as a g900/g903?

[empty quartz]

Go ryzen 7000 at least

Ryzen 5 7600 will be miles ahead in every way

If you cant afford that route, go 5600, and get something like a 9060xt or intel arc b580

[ebon marlin]

Glorious Model I

[empty quartz]

In terms of ram, just get a 2nd hand 32gb kit of 3200mhz (2x16)

[sharp ivy]

Why is my Vaio running so cool😭

I thought P4 was supposed to run hot

[velvet hazel]

Okay all I need is a power supply good ddr4 ram and a graphics card that'll work with both the motherboard the fans the

[sharp ivy]

and it's just absolutely chillin

It's still using the original thermal paste as well

[brave brook]

dude, it has normal Noctua fans in it. That is already 25mm. Then you add the heatsink which is at least 30-40mm, and you are already at 55-65mm 😄

[brave brook]

P4 was not hot, it was power hungry for the performance it delivered

[rancid solstice]

i knew it was big but seeing it in person its bigger than i thought

[ebon marlin]

Hey guys, could you tell me what is the best B650/850 motherboard? Im gonna get a 9000 series amd cpu, i want full 16lane support to the gpu. I dont usually look at them but toms hardware recommends the MSI MAG B850 Tomahawk MAX Wifi or the Gigabyte B650E Aorus Master

[ebon marlin]

solid although i'd remove the 3rd pic

blurry and low quality

[kindred halo]

Alright

[kindred halo]

Ty for the help btw :3

[kindred halo]

Btw, how much do you think I should list it for?

i7 4770 / 2x8GB 1600MHz / RX 5700 XT / MAG A550BN (C tier on SPL)

With the amount I payed for all parts taken into account, I am thinking 380 tbh

But anything above 355 is good because that's how much I payed for the parts

[ebon charm]

Or Oh CPU Hahaha

[kindred halo]

Whar

[ebon charm]

Normal I have i5 4490

[kindred halo]

I used to have an i5 4460

[ashen hearth]

Only one component missing for my friend's build, I think that except for RAM he paid a fair price

[ebon charm]

with igpu not gpu outside

[gleaming meteor]

b a n a n a for scale

[ebon marlin]

Samsung ssd

You can get a same performing ssd with double the capacity for a similar price so 2tb instead of 1tb

Also with that kinda build I'd also recommend getting an OLED over an LCD

Or that one AOC miniled

[ashen hearth]

No, he wants to wait for QDEL

And 2000€ is the budget

[ebon marlin]

https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/aoc/q27g40xmn this one

[ebon marlin]

That's in 3-4 years

[ashen hearth]

It's all already bought

[ashen hearth]

Yes

That's the plan. Update the parts in 4/5 years and get a 4k QDEL

Pizza arrived, bb

[ebon marlin]

Fat bastard rodent

[kindred halo]

Not that great of results :<

[left dove]

better than what you had tbh

[sinful cobalt]

he gets twice the score of my integrated graphics

[gleaming rose]

let's just say hypothetically there's a guy driving towards me with his brights on and I have prepared by installing an extremely bright second set of brights that I turn on to get revenge, how much trouble would I get in

[kindred halo]

None, he can't see your license plate :3

[gleaming rose]

true

[left dove]

flick em at him, if he doesn't turn it off, leave them on until he passes you

tis the language of the road

[gleaming rose]

no but I mean if I install an extremely bright second set

[left dove]

yeah, blink them at him
if he leaves his on, you turn yours back on

[gleaming rose]

fair enough
maybe I should do that

the alternative was a blue laser turret but I feel like that would get me in a lot more trouble

[left dove]

that would.

That's intent to harm

[gleaming rose]

automatically detects if they have their brights on and then aims the laser directly into the opposing driver's eyes

[left dove]

def illegal.

[brazen glen]

You spent 400 on ewaste and a 5700xt lol

Like who are you going to sell that to and in what context would you not essentially be scamming them

[kindred halo]

It's not completely E-Waste, just not that great a PC

[brazen glen]

It is 10000% ewaste, that processor is almost 15 years old, that can’t even run the most recent versions of windows 10

[ocean axle]

wanna check the release date on that CPU again

[brazen glen]

The 4770 was released in 2013 and it’s almost 2026

Hence “almost” 15

[ocean axle]

Q2'13, its closer to 10 than 15

[brazen glen]

Wow thanks for this, that radically changes how I feel about something that you can buy on eBay for 25 dollars

[ocean axle]

its not new, but 15 yrs is 1st gen, which is a lot worse than haswell

[kindred halo]

I am just trying to see if it sells or not </3
If not, just going to sell the board, cpu, RAM, and stock cooler as a combo for $60

I am not trying to hide that it's old, I am not shady </3

[brazen glen]

4770 - 25 USD
16 GB DDR3 - 20 USD
Z97A - 25 USD
5700xt - 150 USD
Handgrenade PSU and random case - 40 USD

This should not have cost 350 currency units

[kindred halo]

4770 & RAM = 40

Motherboard (B85m ICafe) = Already owned, no price

5700 XT = 130

MAG A550BN 550W (C tier on SPL) = 55

Case = 36

[cyan wharf]

hola gamers. between Pulsar X2H Mini and Razer Viper V3 Pro, which one should I go to? I mostly play FPS games

[kindred halo]

Also I may have accidentally miscalculated how much I should sell it for

[brazen glen]

Okay so you didn’t spend 350 on ewaste lol

[kindred halo]

This price includes the SATA SSD which I don't want to sell, the fans, and the PSU as full price

[brazen glen]

That’s much more reasonable

[kindred halo]

Without those it's more around.. Wait lemme check

271 would be about the total

Listing it for 350, wrote in description "price negotiable" - don't except anything more than 300 to be the final price

[eternal cloak]

Oh no, it's still ewaste

But to some that's enough

As one random hot guy (some god or whatever) from Genshin Impact once said "One man's rock can be another man's gem"

[plush wren]

so basically one mans trash is another mans treasure

[rose sorrel]

Worth doing anything with ?

[raw trout]

Can do a minecraft server

Just needs windows server and atlasos

[rose sorrel]

Yeah

[raw trout]

That's what I'm running on my corei3 from 2013 with 8gigs of ram which means likely 4gb of vram

Cuz intel built in

[ionic peak]

tasty paste

[raw trout]

I reccomend crafty controller

[rose sorrel]

This worth anything

[raw trout]

You can have it as a portable version or a click to rub

[rose sorrel]

My bro got them at work he was told they where junk but have not plugged them in yet

[ebon marlin]

Never let bro cook again

[raw trout]

That ran the projector in my old classroom. Can also be used as a mc server

[ionic peak]

400 Gaming pc with gt 710

[raw trout]

If it works for me, it works for him.

I don't care being defamed by an adult for using atlasos

What ever is easy for me

[ebon marlin]

for servers just use linux ubuntu server

[raw trout]

Not ideal for new ppl

[glossy veldt]

for servers use freedos

[ebon marlin]

Linux ubuntu is like my first proper experience with Linux and it's very easy

[glossy veldt]

trust

[raw trout]

And crafty controller does not support the latest versions which means no support for the latest java

[rose sorrel]

The second had 16 gb of ram lol 4 4 gb sticks and first one had 12 gb a 8 g and 4 gb of ram lol

[left dove]

if you're not using proxmox or truenas you're servering wrong tbh

[raw trout]

Same but terminal side

[rose sorrel]

I might put Linux on one of them I wanna play around with it

[raw trout]

I don't think a net pc from 2013 is ideal for proxmox or truenas

[left dove]

you should stop buying ewaste dude

[raw trout]

Do it with the first pc

[glossy veldt]

it might be useful as a server and you're not getting much else out of old hardware

[ebon marlin]

yummy

[rose sorrel]

I don’t know if they work

[ebon marlin]

this device runs my minecraft servers

[raw trout]

Cuz the prodesk is maxed out idel for a serv r

[rose sorrel]

I know the first one at least if they like PSU then it’s just a standard PSU

[sand frigate]

why cant i see my cursor when using nvidea overlay

[glossy veldt]

because it's shy

[raw trout]

What do u use for your servers

[ebon marlin]

Pelican panel

I have a HP Prodesk 600 G3 powered by an i5 7500T

[sand frigate]

is the only option to turn it off cuz i like the setting i can use with the filter

[rose sorrel]

They won the script have been at my brother’s work. I see they said bad on him.

[raw trout]

Does it cost money?

[ebon marlin]

no

[rose sorrel]

Can I power on with cooler ?

[raw trout]

Does it have a web server?

[ebon marlin]

it's free and one of the best panels to host minecraft with

[ebon marlin]

yes

[glossy veldt]

what are you saying

[rose sorrel]

They had they had sticky notes in the in the scrap bin that said bad

[raw trout]

Can you assign different users with high customisation like command acess power on/off acess and such

And does it support port forwarding/tunneling

[ebon marlin]

should be able to

[ebon marlin]

it should

[rose sorrel]

If they are dead free 256 gb ssd and 500gb we blue ssd

[raw trout]

Cuz if it does I'll be very thankful cuz pufferpanel is too plain and complex

[ebon marlin]

pelican panel is a fork of pterodactyl

[raw trout]

Does it have like uh easy download of servers like paper ?

[ebon marlin]

very easy

[raw trout]

Support 21.10?

[rose sorrel]

Enough paste on there to run it for a few minutes

[ebon marlin]

paper 21.20?

[raw trout]

TYSM.

[raw trout]

Wow that's a very very huge pile of paste

[glossy veldt]

why'd you even take it off

[raw trout]

Mc java 21.10 with paper

[raw trout]

Pain is the best teacher

[ebon marlin]

ah it supports all versions

[rose sorrel]

To see what cpu was on in it

[raw trout]

Oh yay ty

[rose sorrel]

My fault

[ebon marlin]

it auto downloads the versions you choose

[raw trout]

Can it be portable tho?

[ebon marlin]

including latest also being an option

[glossy veldt]

there are better ways but whatever

[rose sorrel]

Can I run for a few with the little paste ?

[left dove]

yooo podel released a new vid
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mCLQaMiBQCE

[raw trout]

Does it have built in backup support?

Like scheduled backups

[ebon marlin]

yes

[rose sorrel]

Ok

[raw trout]

Oh my fucking god

[glossy veldt]

i found tiny pan

[raw trout]

Where has this been all my life

[left dove]

TINY PAN

[rose sorrel]

All ddr4 right ?

[left dove]

eeee I love tiny cookware

[raw trout]

Can it be portable tho @ebon marlin

[glossy veldt]

i wanted to buy it but it was 15 buckarooss

[raw trout]

Read the label

[glossy veldt]

u cant even make an eg

its supposedly made for this one niche use

which is cooking cheese circles

[rose sorrel]

Can’t tell ?

[glossy veldt]

provolone provoleta

[ebon marlin]

no idea I don't have anything about pelican downloaded it's all in the web browser

[ocean axle]

"PC3" means DDR3

[glossy veldt]

hey buddy use google lens and ask it to tell you what it means

[ocean axle]

looks like two sticks of DDR4, and four DDR3

[left dove]

its ddr3.

[raw trout]

Last question um does it have autostart for the servers and uh dors it support windows

[left dove]

how have you not learned to use google for the most basic-ass questions

[ebon marlin]

pelican is linux only

[raw trout]

It's always better to chat with a experienced

[ebon marlin]

i'm not experienced at all lmao

[left dove]

🙄

[raw trout]

Dealbreaker 💔 but what if it support wsl?

[glossy veldt]

peyton how do i start my computer

[left dove]

No we are not doing this

[raw trout]

Big button on pc

[ebon marlin]

this is my first experience with linux if we ignore the steam deck

[glossy veldt]

peyton... i forgot how to tie my shoelaces

[left dove]

I'm being a good girl and doing my best to not drink today

[ebon marlin]

na

[left dove]

this is making it difficult 😭

[raw trout]

Good girl

[left dove]

You do NOT get to call me that

[glossy veldt]

@grok kill this man

[left dove]

do not EVER call a woman you don't know that

[raw trout]

*kid

[raw trout]

Whos a good person

[left dove]

seriously, you're making it gross

[ebon marlin]

Windows server is hot garbage most frustrating thing i've ever dealt with

do urself a favor and install ubuntu server

it's so easy to use

[raw trout]

My first experience with windows server has been a breeze

[glossy veldt]

poor Peyton 😭

[topaz shale]

ubuntu is pretty easy to use but i dislike troubleshooting it

[raw trout]

I got my server up and running in a day

[raw trout]

Relatable

I have switched to windows from ragequit

[ebon marlin]

I got ubuntu server installed and server running in an hour or two

[topaz shale]

im on fedora now

[glossy veldt]

I'll only use linux because my low end hardware needs it

[raw trout]

Yay

[ebon marlin]

I got Fedora on my steam deck lmao

[topaz shale]

bazzite?

[ebon marlin]

yuh

[topaz shale]

honestly i am loving bazzite

[raw trout]

Windows server 2025 database edtion supports 2013 garbage
Pc with garbage specs when cpu idle is enabled

[topaz shale]

suprisingly a similar number of issues to windows

[ivory mountain]

hey when u wake up u wont have a headache bc u didnt drink that sounds great

[rose sorrel]

Would a 650 or 670 be okay with i5 6500

[glossy veldt]

you don't understand

[left dove]

I dont get drinking headaches anyways lol

[glossy veldt]

until you use a celeron n4020

[raw trout]

Don't u dare

I'm an Indian I have more experience than you

[glossy veldt]

it's as powerful as a 4th gen i3

[rose sorrel]

Are any of these useable to make a pc out for gaming and daily use ?

[left dove]

I just need to quit drinking for a bit so I can drop the 20lbs I've gained

[glossy veldt]

oh yeah at least you have easy imports

I'm argentine, brother

[raw trout]

We don't import.

[glossy veldt]

we have no 5g mobile data yet

[raw trout]

We work with what we have.

[glossy veldt]

tsk tak tsk

[left dove]

every country imports.

[raw trout]

4g sucks. Can't even watch YouTube in banglore.

[glossy veldt]

dude argentine aduana makes it a pain in the ass

[raw trout]

5g even worse

[glossy veldt]

you can only import like 5 things yearly and that's it

[left dove]

that's so stupid lmao

[raw trout]

And if your going to do some robotics forget it cuz the parts are very not reliablem

[raw trout]

I import myself 5 times.

[high elm]

same 🙀

i just imported myself back to my own country

[high elm]

ur shit just says 5g but it really isnt

[ebon marlin]

i import stuff like multiple times a month

[high elm]

i seriously doubt india has the capabilities to provide full 5g coverage

[ebon marlin]

regularly

[left dove]

use fast.com it's way better

[high elm]

mines better but not amazing either

[ebon marlin]

fast.com shows less

[high elm]

and im at the bloody airport

data should be amazing here

[topaz shale]

i like fast.com

[ionic peak]

I like ZTT

[topaz shale]

the alex channel?

[ionic peak]

ye saw new video

[ionic peak]

Better than i do

[glossy veldt]

oh my phone's low on battery

i should probably charge it

[high elm]

maybe

[ebon marlin]

My Mobile data lowkey poopoo

[ionic peak]

hmm but over 10MB

[high elm]

for 5g its really bad yeah

[ebon marlin]

I just have a cheap international plan

don't need fast speed on a phone

[ionic peak]

pls answer the guy who called you

[high elm]

same mines $5 for 388gb

[ebon marlin]

it's my girlfriend

[ebon marlin]

it's like 10 or 15€ for unlimited data 150mbps

[ionic peak]

one more and a Death sentence

[craggy cove]

5g has the exact same speed compared to disabling 5g and using "4g+" here

[high elm]

holy shit 10 monks just walked past me at the airport

[ebon marlin]

unlimited data domestically and neighboring countries of Finland

[high elm]

10 euros is pretty expensive imo for a phone plan

[ionic peak]

Cheep

[ebon marlin]

eh it's unlimited and internationla

[ionic peak]

i do 15 euro for 14gb but 5G

[high elm]

international as in worldwide?

how often do you even use that though

[brave brook]

expensive maybe in your country. I pay 26 euros for unlimited calls/sms/32GB of data

[ebon marlin]

All nordic and baltic countries

[ebon marlin]

Very often

[high elm]

i pay $5 for this

[high elm]

thats pretty good since those r the country’s u frequent

my telco does the same thing with the neighbouring country

[ebon marlin]

yuh I travel to Estonia very very often

I've tried other international plans that are more expensive and they're all hot garbage

Telia is the only one that has been stable the most ouf ot multiple different ISP's

we have a little farm/cottage in the middle of nowhere in Estonia others had no signal there but with Telia I still have fast and stable internet there

Canadian prices 😔

[ionic peak]

[versed pecan]

Is anyone versed in hard drive bays? I'm considering the Phanteks Enthoo Pro, and I have drives with different mounting holes than the other. For most of my drives, they fit well in my current cases hard drive bays (Phanteks Eclipse P400A DIgital), but my newer drives (WD Black 10TB and WD Red Plus 10TB) have different mounts that aren't compatible w/ the bays due to the plastic pokey things designed on it. Does anyone know if the bays for the Enthoo would fit these? If not, how do I go about getting the drive into the case?

[ebon marlin]

canadians be complaining their shit is expensive when it's just their currency is worth jackshit

[ebon marlin]

Steam deck oled isn't really that worth it over a basic LCD steam deck

[topaz shale]

the board layout changed on the oled

[ebon marlin]

I know

My pc almost crashed from trying to run tarkov and fortnite at the same time

[high elm]

its worth a decent amount

have you seen the third world country’s XD

[random gyro]

Like the US?

[ebon marlin]

I know but you don't see them complaining about their currencies

[eternal cloak]

What, CAD? You're telling me you're getting PS5s for $300?

[rose sorrel]

My bro wanted me to look that these

The better one on my has 2 ram dims and i5 6500 and worst one has 4 dims and 4570 and 16gb of ram and better drive

The worst on has 4590 not 4570

[left dove]

get the 6500

[eternal cloak]

I guess the digital slims are $450

Open box $400 even, the Pro is a slight price increase of +$500

[proper gull]

...you're still very bad at math

[rose sorrel]

What one do I give him ?

The 4 gen one but older ddr3 vs ddr4 or 6500 one and more upgradable

[left dove]

..what?

give him the 6500.

I want to buy a 1440p oled monitor that is 360 or 240 hz any recommendations?

He has second one for me to look at

The board is a hp but standard everything except for case and pen out so I assume cpu ram and other stuff good like that will aslo need a new psu

[ionic peak]

1440 is nice

ASUS ROG Strix XG27AQWMG is solid

currently the only glossy 4th gen OLED panel

I have an Aorus FO27Q2 might switch to that soon

but no KVM on the Asus one is a bummer

although HDR Trueblack 500

[ionic peak]

Hmm good panels

[eternal cloak]

Turns out PS5 Slims can be as little as $282 on bestbuy, albeit open-box

[ionic peak]

Cant replace my panel

Bc to expensive

[median needle]

I was talking to someone else and he said it had firmware problems

he said to instead go with the
Philips Evnia 27M2N8500 or
Dell AW2725DF

[hardy horizon]

Does this look detailed enough?

[eternal cloak]

And standard price for the Steam Deck OLED 512GB is $489, which is still very much not double, but close enough

[iron glen]

Lovely handwriting

[hardy horizon]

Its gotten so much better with time

[eternal cloak]

Depending on who I'm submitting this to I'd 100% be tempted to write "On a sticky note, idiot"

[iron glen]

Do they teach that in schools?

[hardy horizon]

Why?

[iron glen]

Looks so much easier than cursive

[hardy horizon]

No not anymore

[iron glen]

Dang

[eternal cloak]

Because funny

[iron glen]

7yo me had to learn how to write in cursive

[hardy horizon]

Ahh yeah lol. $5,300 laptop and they can't even send out competent techs who can't break things or apply liquid metal without literally getting it all over the motherboard I'm shocked it didn't short!

[hardy horizon]

They don't do that anymore

[iron glen]

P sure they do here but idk

I can always ask some first grader

[hardy horizon]

No more cursive and they take typing classes instead.

[iron glen]

Just as the machine god intended

[eternal cloak]

They don't do it here because people struggle to write the latin alphabet to begin with kek

[keen temple]

When is the linus torvalds thing coming

[iron glen]

Hindu is so much easier ong

[hardy horizon]

But yeah anything I need to add or is that layman enough for the entry level technician but also enough information for the high-end technician?

[iron glen]

Or whatever the enchantment table language is i forgot

[hardy horizon]

note ... It's the same third party that broke the machine in the first place... Just "deport", not Lenovo actual employees

[distant frigate]

Just noticed this abandoned weather station lmao

This hasn’t been touched since 2016-2017

[hardy horizon]

Should I put the power brick on the side, or under the laptop?

[formal sonnet]

I can barely read most of that. I would type it out and email it to them. If they don't accept emails, at least make a printed copy.

[formal sonnet]

Side is better. If you put it under the laptop, I would want to wrap the adapter in bubble wrap so it doesn't bounce around and damage something.

[iron glen]

I can read it just fine
It looks like my handwriting but better

[formal sonnet]

That's great. But can the technicians read it? That's all that matters here. If this arrives at the depot and the assigned tech cannot read it, they usually won't ask for clarification because they don't have time. They're usually either do what they can with what they have, or just send it back. We ran into this many times when customers brought in laptops with handwritten notes that we shipped to our repair depot.

[hardy horizon]

Wait for real? I added extra space between the words to make it easier. I don't have a printer 💀

you're not getting bottlenecked with that, and if you use a bottleneck caculator, it's going to show your iq instead

[tranquil bluff]

But like what gpu coz im looking at a 5060 ti but ive heard they’re more ai than raw power

[true stirrup]

Correct
It's Slovenian

grab a 16gb 9060xt, same performance, but cheaper

Thinking about buying the ROG Ally at Best Buy. It’s the one with the Xbox button, but not the Rog ally x. Can steamos be installed on it? Seems to come with windows pre installed

The Z2A is the same chip as Steam Deck but 7nm instead of 6nm

hahahaahhahaha 67

[empty quartz]

Mrrp :3

[empty quartz]

Steam deck oled*

Steam deck is 7nm

[dusky flare]

yes

[eternal cloak]

I already checked myself, dw

You can in fact get them for 399 CAD

[south arrow]

Was just thinking saw Sony advertising $399

https://www.bestbuy.com/product/playstation-5-slim-console-digital-edition-playstation-5/JXHQ3CCTY4/sku/6566040

[empty quartz]

Ew

[south arrow]

Although I did get my disc model for $250 used then just cleaned it

[eternal cloak]

I'm talking about CAD, not USD

[empty quartz]

I prefer actually owning my games

[eternal cloak]

You can have as many disks as you want, you still don't own the game

[south arrow]

I just like being able to watch dvds off a quality player

[eternal cloak]

Most of the time disks don't even contain the full game anyway because even blurays can't hold more than 50GB

[empty quartz]

Depends on the type of blu ray*

[dusky flare]

People still use DVD

[south arrow]

As ads become more popular yes

[dusky flare]

can't relate I canceled everything and turned to piracy

[south arrow]

[empty quartz]

@eternal cloak bdxl discs can hold up to ~120gb

[eternal cloak]

Yeah triple layer can have 100GB
But then you're paying a bonus because triple layer is fairly expensive AND still can only hold 100GB

[eternal cloak]

The ones the PS5 recognizes are standard three-layer blurays

[formal sonnet]

Even if a game can fit in 50GB or less, we all know they don't release finished software products in 2025. 😉

"Please install this 35GB title from disc." Week 1 Patch: "Completely replace the thing we had you install with this fixed version that we should have released on day 1 but didn't because stonkholders."

[south arrow]

Ever since ps4 its been wack

[eternal cloak]

Aye

Regardless, you don't own the disk
You're licensed to use it

[empty quartz]

I miss the days when the full game could fit on a disc, and you could actually enjoy games without internet

[eternal cloak]

Were you even born then? lol

[brave brook]

Blizzard: Oh you preloaded the new season/midseason content ? How cute. Here, another 1-4GB to download when the new season/midseason actually starts 😄

[eternal cloak]

No you weren't LMAO

[empty quartz]

Yes

[dusky flare]

you don't need internet to play games after downloading them

[eternal cloak]

Even games like World of Warcraft had several disks to install

[eternal cloak]

Fallout 76 be like

[empty quartz]

Im talking about consoles

[empty quartz]

Or any of the newer cods

[azure topaz]

this dependds on the game homie

[formal sonnet]

Same. Don't get me wrong; it's great that we have the ability to patch daily, or sometimes on-the-fly (looking at you, Blizzard), but I do miss the simplicity of playing a game that's actually complete.

[eternal cloak]

WoW private servers like Ascension make me go insane

They patch the game every single damn fucking day and every single time you validate the entire game twice

[empty quartz]

Its really funny how when i try launching cod bo6, it still asks to restart because of an update

[rigid fjord]

i'd get a 4070 instead of a 3080

[ebon marlin]

Steam deck oled is often compared with stuff like these

[empty quartz]

After i updated it*

[tranquil bluff]

but its like $300 more

[empty quartz]

Hear me out… if i go to an apple store, they’re 329 cad. Costco is selling for 278.99 cad (before tax)

[rigid fjord]

same performance, better power efficiency, and newer version of dlss

[high elm]

for $300 more

[eternal cloak]

Yeah that's not worth it still lmao

[high elm]

yea

get the 3080

[tranquil bluff]

i dont need like a huge upgrade i have a 1080 rn and its not doing too well anymore

[ebon marlin]

are you looking at old stuff at brand new?

[rigid fjord]

you'd have to be very lucky to get a 3080 for less than 350 tbh

[ebon marlin]

Used 3080's are 300 bucks and 4070's are 400 bucks

[tranquil bluff]

id prob pefer new but im fine with buying used

[ebon marlin]

no point buying old stuff as brand new

[eternal cloak]

https://www.ebay.com/itm/406409579410 Here you have one from HP

[eternal cloak]

Nah, used they're about the same price

[ebon marlin]

might've looked at 4070 supers then

[eternal cloak]

https://www.ebay.com/itm/136733482201

[rigid fjord]

on a side note, what you think of this https://www.arctic.de/en/Senza-5700G/ACPCC00002A ?

[tranquil bluff]

Found one on market place, for $600 aud

[eternal cloak]

A gimmick, don't think that's gonna stick around for long when minipcs are better, cheaper and don't take up much space at all.

Or because iMacs exist lmfao

[high halo]

Is open shell a good alternative to start all back?

[rigid fjord]

it's a mini pc, that's passively cooled and rather than using a laptop cpu, it's a desktop zen3 inside it

[ebon marlin]

you can get a brand new Rtx 5070 that outperforms the 3090 for 100 bucks less

[eternal cloak]

Ye, but the strongest SKU is a 5700G, which is soundly beaten by the Steam Deck

[cerulean loom]

Looking at a new ssd, should i get it with the heatsink or not?

[ebon marlin]

mostly cuz of the rdna2 igpu

[high elm]

aud australian

[ebon marlin]

the 5700G has vega graphics

[eternal cloak]

I'm not too worried about the GPU, the 5700G is beaten by a 12100F

[ebon marlin]

ik the 5700G is poopoo

[rigid fjord]

true, just that design and making it discrete enough for under the desk, for what it's worth, it's a nice way of doing it

[swift moss]

which one are we copping today

i like these colours just need to choose between old skool and high top

[high halo]

What are the best alternatives to start all back?

[rigid fjord]

i used to like vans, but found etnies better for me

[swift moss]

idk they are on quite a good sale and I have at least 1 pair of vans so I just wanna stock up

[high halo]

Startallback is nice but isnt free

[swift moss]

my current ones are DEAD

[tranquil bluff]

its in australian dollars

[random gyro]

hey y'all so anyone know of a good lightweight antivirus for macos?

thinking bitdefender since I've used them before and really like their product

[tawny lava]

Isnt the general consensus just use windows defender

[warm saddle]

how bios decides on which monitor will be displayed?

[random gyro]

MacOS not windows

using it for mainly music/video production which it excels at

[tawny lava]

Arent apple products pretty secure and walled garden, i cant imagine needing antivirus for apple products

[random gyro]

it's a macbook

not so secure as you may think

iphones are the secure one

[tawny lava]

I think if you stay away from weird websites, watch what you click on and dont install software from 3rd party sources i think you will be okay

[random gyro]

sometimes the software I want is from a 3rd party (non apple official source)

and I love homebrew

and similar repos

[tawny lava]

If the software is open source i think its generally fine

[random gyro]

not so true

[formal sonnet]

I mean... in that case, security software won't help you unless you can access the source code of the application you want to run. (This is because nothing is 100% effective - all it takes is someone writing their software to specifically bypass or exploit a known flaw in a given piece of security software...)

[vale lotus]

I don't need two usb sticks for Linux mint do i?

[random gyro]

it can do detection of weird behavor

[random gyro]

true

[vale lotus]

I found a video where someone used 2 usb sticks for some reason

[random gyro]

but still how likely is that for a average person

[pulsar obsidian]

australians have a good used market, unlike new zealand which is a shit market

[random gyro]

[ancient shale]

hey yall, i was wondering if i could upgrade my pc without swapping SSDs, i saw there might be some errors??

[tranquil bluff]

Does this look normal for a 3080, might go pick it up today and I wanna make sure it’s okay

[vale lotus]

Do i even need rufus for boot drive since I already have an ssd?

[formal sonnet]

I don't see Rufus mentioned anywhere in the docs I linked...
https://linuxmint-installation-guide.readthedocs.io/en/latest/search.html?q=rufus&check_keywords=yes&area=default

[vale lotus]

Oh okay I was just watching a video which mentioned needing to download Rufus

[azure topaz]

looks fine

its even a 12GB so if its a good price like 350$ its pretty good

[tranquil bluff]

i know, i asked if he still has it in his pc to see if he could benchmark it
