Is 1.3V overvolted? Cus i haven't touched the volts and I've heard that normal is 1-1.1

[grizzled frost]

if you haven't touched voltage, then it isn't overvolted

[rigid fjord]

shroud = cover, nothing more nothing else, anyone saying otherwise be an idiot

[ancient shale]

lol 👍

[empty quartz]

Meow

@grizzled frost Hear me out

[rigid fjord]

a 5700g can pull anywhere between 0.9v and 1.5v

[empty quartz]

My 18 core xeon pulls ~0.875v

[grizzled frost]

a hear me out is supposed to be unreasonable, that is the most reasonable purchase i have ever seen

[gloomy grotto]

Hi there, would somebody be up to help me choose between 2 monitors?

[empty quartz]

🥶

[grizzled frost]

don't ask to ask, just ask

[thorn viper]

K, I wanna undervolt and the tutorial I am watching said that 1-1.1 is normal, I wanna undervolt mainly cus temps

[gloomy grotto]

I already have a powerful laptop with a 16" wqxga 165hz monitor with high srgb and RGB.
But my laptop is a little to far from me on my desk when coding. So I want a bigger monitor as second screen
For 60bucks I hesitate between the AOC 23.8" LED - 24B31H and the PHILIPS 24E2N1110. They have exactly the same specs on paper.

[empty quartz]

Seems legit

[thorn viper]

Legit🔥

[rigid fjord]

don't try to manually undervolt it, there's no safe voltage for it, do PBO tuning with CO tuning

[grizzled frost]

time to buy 60 of em and have a petabyte

cheapest petabyte ever

[thorn viper]

Erm, what is PBO and CO?

[rigid fjord]

precision boost override, curve optimizer, you do these from bios

[grizzled frost]

Precision Boost Overclock, essentially how your CPU uses the thermal and power headroom it has to boost as high as possible

[empty quartz]

Why do that when i can buy 4 of these

[grizzled frost]

nvm this is clearly the better purchase

[thorn viper]

Won't that make it hotter?

[grizzled frost]

Yes, yes it will

But that quite literally doesn't matter in the slightest

[thorn viper]

Its black chat

[random junco]

interesting

[thorn viper]

Quite literally does when its on the verge of 100C

[grizzled frost]

yeah you have other problems if your CPU is almost at 100C

[gloomy grotto]

Lol, I did ask for ask because as always nobody responded.

[grizzled frost]

if they have the same specs on paper, buy the cheaper one

[gloomy grotto]

Both same price but one is on discount.

[thorn viper]

But ion know what to do. I cant ask for a new cpu cooler cus I upgraded my gpu yesterday and my parents will think that I did something wrong and will yell at me and make me take it to a service place

[rigid fjord]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/H9CZxr/ same price, and runs a little faster

[random junco]

then get whichever looks better

[grizzled frost]

what kind of CPU cooler?

[thorn viper]

Stock

[random junco]

or get the one on the discount cuz it'd theoretically be worth more

[grizzled frost]

also your parents sound like truly lovely people

[rigid fjord]

depends on how it's tuned, sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't

[peak swan]

So i was taking out a dvi to vga adapter, my standoff came out, i tried putting it back in, tightened too hard and uhh
Fucking hell, i hate the stupid screws on old video connectors

[gloomy grotto]

I thought this. However it'll be a lil more complicated for me to get it

[ancient shale]

a bit reluctant to buy from any site other than amazon... lol
just lazy to setup accounts is all.

[random junco]

How come

[grizzled frost]

HOLY FUCKING SHIT BALLS, how the hell did you manage to do that

[peak swan]

I have maybe 1 full thread left on it lmao... Fml

[rigid fjord]

new egg is fine for you to buy from tbh

[grizzled frost]

newegg is basically just like electronics amazon

[rigid fjord]

this happens more than you think

[gloomy grotto]

Because I have a 40€ gift card that isn't valid for the aoc website

[peak swan]

I was tightening it, and i heard click and shit fell out of my screwdriver shaft

[ancient shale]

i know, i'm just lazy to make an account for it. i suppose i should make one eventually, so might as well

[random junco]

so then why are you saying it's the same price.... 🤦‍♂️

[grizzled frost]

why were you using a screwdriver???

finger tight is fine

[peak swan]

How else am i gonna put it back?

[rigid fjord]

$220 because the $30 off code

[grizzled frost]

maybe a quarter turn with a screwdriver after

[peak swan]

My fingers too big lel

[gloomy grotto]

Because logically I could just spend the gift car on regular shopping and buy the other monitor with the economies....

[ancient shale]

i saw, yes!

[random junco]

https://tenor.com/view/what-huh-you-sure-skeptical-youre-kidding-gif-8669605

[ancient shale]

atp could you just look through my parts list? lol

[rigid fjord]

send the link here

[peak swan]

Looks like i should be able to push the old snapped off one out by screwing in a not snapped one

[ancient shale]

anything marked "purchased" is a part from my old pc that i'm not replacing
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/8kscWc

[peak swan]

Luckily i have

[rigid fjord]

looks good, though gpu wise my own preference would have been a 9070xt

[ancient shale]

i want NVENC for recording & streaming

plus the cuda cores are nice as well

[ancient shale]

i also had a question - with switching out so many parts will I run into some issues with the SSD?

[rigid fjord]

i don't see any issues as long as the ssd's firmware is updated

[frigid blade]

Doing more undervolting fun with shitty laptop, Yipee

[rigid fjord]

win 11 24h2 and ssd death twice over is not fun

[ancient shale]

might i run into weird driver quirks and/or windows license issues?

i mean like, without wiping the SSD

[rigid fjord]

DDU fix gpu driver issues, and you can always uninstall the drivers for your current mobo as it is before doing a swap over

[frigid blade]

There can be issues yah

Make sure you uninstall drivers from the old rig first

[ancient shale]

I see okay

I'll come back here for help before doing that then lol. No idea what to do about that

[rigid fjord]

as for licensing, if you used a microsoft account to log into windows originally, then it should reactivate it

if not, there are always ways around it for free

[frigid blade]

I installed an SSD that went from a 2060 to 3070ti and an older Intel to 13600k and it has issues now

I don’t feel like fixing them

[rigid fjord]

tbf, a clean install is usually the better way of doing it

[frigid blade]

Yah it is

But i was in a rush

No time to move files and backup

[rigid fjord]

but, with the way win10 and win 11 are, you don't have to always do that

[ancient shale]

yeah but i have a lot of random shit setup on my pc i'm not trying to reinstall

[rigid fjord]

i'd look into a better cooler, then look into doing actual tuning for the cpu

[rigid fjord]

i do recommend to always have games on a secondary drive

[ancient shale]

oh? how come? wouldn't they run faster/better on the first drive as it has better transfer speeds etc...

[rigid fjord]

if windows fucks up, you don't have to reinstall everything

also less wear on the main drive

and no, transfer speeds means nothing for the games tbh

you won't be beating a sata ssd for speeds when gaming

hell even for the OS itself you're not beating a sata ssd

[ancient shale]

seriously?? i was under the impression that

well okay

my life is a lie

[rigid fjord]

yes, seriously, the difference between a sata ssd and a nvme drive for loading a game is 0.01 seconds

something you'll never notice, nor will make a difference

also the higher the sequential speed is, you won't have any advantages

with nvme's you don't even need dram cache

[ancient shale]

either way, i'd rather not do a fresh install because there's a ton of random bullshit and settings i'd rather not redo. what's the best way to just transfer things directly, given i'm replacing my motherboard, gpu, cpu?

[rigid fjord]

sata ssd's, sure dram cache is a benefit, but on nvmes, none for the average user, only in production work does it have an advantage

[rigid fjord]

pretty much, and if you use steam, there's a function built in for you to transfer games over between drives

[ancient shale]

sorry so what's the best way to transfer things directly?

[left trellis]

ignore the last line lol

[tawny lava]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/6M32v4
can someone help me find black friday upgrades for my PC this is my current PC

[ancient shale]

hey, do yall reckon it'd be easier to just buy every single part for brand new PC and sell my entire old PC

and how do you guys recommend picking out a case?

@rigid fjord hey sorry to bother, are you still there? i had some questions and you seem pretty knowledgable

[true stirrup]

If your current pc is really old then you don't really have a choice

For the case just pick out something that looks good to you and has a mesh front panel

[ancient shale]

not that old, i built it in early 2023 iirc

[ancient shale]

and the mesh front panel is very important?

[true stirrup]

You want good airflow
If you are going for a fish tank case then it will be part of the back panel

[true stirrup]

Specs?

[ancient shale]

gpu, cpu, ram, mobo are all getting replaced anyways.
i'm mainly talking case + cpu cooler (which is a fractal design meshify 2 mini, and a peerless assassin)

[true stirrup]

Good case and a good cooler

[ancient shale]

Should probably get more case fans since my new build might run hot

Right now literally only running stock fans (140mm in the front, 120mm in the back)

I was thinking of getting this case: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/zysV3C/lian-li-lancool-207-atx-mid-tower-case-lan207rx. Good amount of stock fans & doesn't look bad at all

or maybe a Fractal North and I'll just get my own fans

[rigid fjord]

still about, but many other knowledgable people here, i be also off cooking food

[ancient shale]

i see

i never understood how to install additional case fans, or what sort of fans to get / placement etc..

[rigid fjord]

what's your current full system specs?

the basics for what you want happening inside your case for airflow

[ancient shale]

currently i'm running 3060 ti, ryzen 5 5600

[rigid fjord]

also fan wise, my personal go to, is arctic fans

[ancient shale]

yes i've looked at them before

[rigid fjord]

then you're still golden and could just upgrade the gpu

[ancient shale]

i was told it would get massively bottlenecked by the CPU 😅

[ancient shale]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/LmCFf7/arctic-p12-pst-563-cfm-120-mm-fans-5-pack-acfan00137a

how about these? ^^^

[rigid fjord]

whoever said that is a fucking idiot

[ancient shale]

oh 😭

[rigid fjord]

perfect, you could even go to the newer p12 pro pst's

i'm running an rx590 with my r5 5600x, i could pair a 5090 with the 5600x and be fine

[ancient shale]

yes this is an old pickout i did maybe a year ago

[ancient shale]

i'm running 5600, not 5600x

[rigid fjord]

same difference

[ancient shale]

?!

[rigid fjord]

yup, a 5600x = 5600 with a letter added to it and a 200mhx extra boost

performance wise, no noticable difference between the 2

[ancient shale]

😭 so you don't think it will get bottlenecked at all, the 5070 ti i'd like to get

[rigid fjord]

it wouldn't no

[ancient shale]

i see okay

[rigid fjord]

people missuse the word 'bottleneck'

[ancient shale]

and then, i currently have 2 stock fans in my PC rn, should I use them as well as the new fans or take the stock ones out and replace with the new?

[rigid fjord]

peopel also use 'bottleneck' calculators, and that's on the same level as UBM for reviews/benchmarks

[ancient shale]

what fan arrangement should I use if I buy 5 fans

[true stirrup]

You can mix fans as much as you want

[rigid fjord]

personally, replace 'em

[rigid fjord]

2-3 on the front, and 2 for top/rear

then create a custom fan curve with either the mobo's own software or using remo's fan control

[ancient shale]

i'm not sure if my case has space for top fans 😭😭 cooler takes up soo much space already

just opened up my pc. need to do some dusting.

[rigid fjord]

you have the meshify 2 right?

[ancient shale]

meshify 2 mini, which is the mATX mid tower version

[rigid fjord]

so, 2 front, 2 top, 1 rear

[ancient shale]

and for cleaning dust off of non-electronic components (the case) do i need to use a microfiber cloth?

[brazen hemlock]

hey guys sorry to bother but, ah yes thanks linus

[ancient shale]

oh yeah i saw this 😭

[rigid fjord]

meshify 2 mini shown with one of the biggest air coolers in the case @ancient shale

[ancient shale]

do you think i can fit top fans?

[rigid fjord]

easily doable

[brazen hemlock]

meanwhile the one they actually forgot the PPI destroyer (Q24G2A)

[ancient shale]

got it. would i need to remove mobo before installing

[rigid fjord]

nope, you could wiggle it around the cooler as you've got it currently

[ionic peak]

If I get a fan hub should I plug in cpu fan or chassis fan?

[brazen hemlock]

chassis

[rigid fjord]

chassis fan header

[ionic peak]

Oh ok how many fans can a header talk to?

[tulip sparrow]

21/22" as well as 20" 1080p exists as well so not surprised that 24" 1440p exists LOL

[frigid blade]

50 fps on the lows

thats pretty good for fancy graphics

[brazen hemlock]

i wish 22 did at 1440p i dont understand who makes these things

[frigid blade]

i7-4600U 😈

[brazen hemlock]

i7 8700

[tulip sparrow]

8840HS for me in laptop form

[ionic peak]

What game?

[frigid blade]

i need a new laptop

[tulip sparrow]

Heck there are plenty of 15.6" 1080p monitors

[frigid blade]

this one just thermal throttles too much

keeps hitting 97C even after changing thermal paste and cleaning out the fans/vents

[tulip sparrow]

Pretty sure there are some 15.6" 1600p monitors

[brazen hemlock]

thats a tablet not a monitor bro...

[frigid blade]

opening up chrome reminds me of my ps4 taking off

https://tenor.com/view/cat-pilot-plane-gif-12937843866617883977

[rigid fjord]

a single header is rated for 1A usually, so you never want to go above that, it's recommended to never do more than 3 fans per header, however that can differe depending on fan manufacturer

[stable beacon]

my gpu started glitching out and then i crashed while running minecraft again😭

idk whats making it unstable

[frigid blade]

drivers?

[ionic peak]

Even with sata power?

[rigid fjord]

8845hs also you mean

[brazen hemlock]

its normal for a laptop the way you push it its mc...

[frigid blade]

im talking about just regular usage

[proper pond]

I heard alot about how gpu prices are going to rise soon and im starting to get worried. So I was wondering should I buy my gpu on black friday/cyber monday or buy it now

[frigid blade]

laptop gets all happy boosts to 3.5GHz and then halts like it hits a brick wall and thermal throttles down to 2.4GHz cap

[rigid fjord]

that makes a large difference, and if you're using a powered hub, then you could put enough fans on it to cover for 5A, if it was molex powered you'd do enough fans to cover for up to 11A

[ionic peak]

Uh so no power bc I only can install 2 more

[ancient shale]

hey what's the difference between:

• Arctic P12 "Fluid Dynamic Bearing" fans https://www.microcenter.com/product/600916/arctic-cooling-p12-fluid-dynamic-bearing-120mm-case-fan-5-pack
• Arctic P12 Pro PST fans https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DJDDCG4M

[brazen hemlock]

install cashyOs linux ig

[rigid fjord]

all a powered hub needs to communicate with the mobo is the tachometer sensor wire and pwm wire

[ionic peak]

So no power extra can go Fans?

[rigid fjord]

the p12's are DC fans, p12 pwm pst and p12 pro pst are 4 pin pwm fans that also daisy chain

[brazen hemlock]

second hand market, what are you rolling with now?

[cunning sky]

just wanted to come on here and ask if anyone else is having the problem with windows 11 where if you have 2 different wallpapers for your 2 monitors it keeps setting both of them to the same one when you leave it alone for 10 minutes

[craggy cove]

did i format the smart data or what

[rigid fjord]

the power is from the sata/molex connector on the hub instead, you don't want the power being sent back to the mobo itself

[ancient shale]

when you say daisy chain, that means like, it can connect off one header to the motherboard, and then the others connect to each other?

[rigid fjord]

yes

[tulip sparrow]

My laptop is a 8840HS based one so not fully but I wouldn't mind a 8845HS based mini pc for a HTPC setup

[brazen hemlock]

my san disk went from 240gb to 220 when i used to have it as OS drive lol lots of windows 10 refreshes

[rigid fjord]

this is on the end of the fans that daisy chain

[ancient shale]

ah i'll figure it out

[craggy cove]

well windows has its own definition of a gigabyte

[ionic peak]

Oh ok am i fine with it?

[rigid fjord]

like these

[rigid fjord]

you should be yes

[brazen hemlock]

nothing to do with that its just rewrites

[ionic peak]

Ah ok thx for help :3

[craggy cove]

ah maybe recovery partitions and stuff

idk actually just guessing

[ancient shale]

i see. and what does that mean exactly

[brazen hemlock]

usage bits get 'stuck' cant be go back from 1 to 0 or 0 to 1 aver a certain amount of times

[rigid fjord]

even though this shows for the argb version, if you ignore what it shows for the argb plugh, and focus on the fan plug side, you can connect them like this

[true stirrup]

Check partitions in disk management

[ancient shale]

i'm so confused rn

[rigid fjord]

several fans of a single header

[steel umbra]

rgb connector ❌

argb connector ✅

[ionic peak]

A rgb

[steel umbra]

you don't want to plug argb fan into rgb header because it could fry the fan if there is a lack or if the safety features fail

and the mb could just send 12v into the 5v circuits like it's ok

[steel umbra]

fakeeeeeeeeee

[ancient shale]

My PSU has had problems before, you guys reckon it can handle this?

[craggy cove]

"has had problems"

[ancient shale]

yeah okay i understand

[ionic peak]

[craggy cove]

bin it

[ancient shale]

it used to just shut off randomly for no reason 😭 stopped out of nowhere.

[ancient shale]

💔 i was thinking of buying the corsair 750e

[ionic peak]

Argb maxxing

[ionic peak]

Buy 1800W thoe

[craggy cove]

1800w 95+ diamond mining psu

[steel umbra]

consider checking the spl psu tierlist, look up retailers for their whole psu portfolio and then check the list what tier it is

rm750e is good tho

[ancient shale]

yeah it's rank A iirc?

[steel umbra]

expect the fan

in the psu

[ancient shale]

Tier A Blue highlight - Quiet operation under moderate load

[steel umbra]

it tends to be loud, poor qc from hong hua

like don't be surprised if the rme arrives with an audibly rattly fan out of the box

[ancient shale]

bruh

[leaden gust]

quick yes or no

[ancient shale]

damn

[tacit star]

Isn't 6400 better than 6000

[leaden gust]

ramageddon prices bro

[tacit star]

Used?

[ancient shale]

then what psu can i go for? need 750+ watts with a good price & psu tier list rating, and no... rattle...

[leaden gust]

brand new

[tacit star]

I'd rather stay with my nugget 1151 6th gen PC than buy RAM at these prices brand new

[steel umbra]

i've had so many xpg core reactors I & II, one cooler master mwe v2 gold, corsair units with ha1225h12f-z that i can say you're more likely to get a loud unit of a psu with that fan than quiet one

[tacit star]

Buy second hand

[ionic peak]

The 2000w from the one linus video

Or 2500w

[leaden gust]

corsair and cl30 tho

[ancient shale]

💔 what PSU has a quiet fan then

[tacit star]

Buying RAM at the price of a GPU is lowkey stupid

[steel umbra]

the more expensive units less valued based psus tend to have better fans

[ancient shale]

sorted by 80+ gold at my micro center... no results 💔

[tacit star]

Is 6000 vs 6400 like 3000 vs 3200, or like 3200 vs 3600?

[ancient shale]

such as 💔

[steel umbra]

bequiet

[crimson estuary]

hey so real quick i need some help- i have a desktop with i7 12700kf with 6800xt - I have $1600 to spend at micro center because of a gift card, i need to get a solid laptop for school but should i use the extra money and upgrade my gpu or save for later?

[ancient shale]

i have a bequiet psu right now and it is pretty quiet, but it's had like random power failures out of nowhere before 😭

https://www.microcenter.com/product/700540/be-quiet-pure-power-13-m-750-watt-80-plus-gold-atx-fully-modular-power-supply-atx-31-compatible how about this one?

[rigid fjord]

more like the latter comparison

[steel umbra]

should be quieter

[ancient shale]

is it worth it to get a 850w PSU, in case I ever want to upgrade? even though 750w is well enough to cover my 5070 ti

[steel umbra]

but idk 99 dollars for a 750w

i'd pay that for a 850w

[proper pond]

wdym?

[leaden gust]

3200 and 3600

[ancient shale]

is that too expensive?

[leaden gust]

probably

[steel umbra]

a bit yes

[rigid fjord]

a little extra never hurts

[neon ocean]

Looking at the Wi-Fi 7 cards, there doesn't seem to be much of a difference between an $80 and a $40 pcie card. Am I just being blind/hasty?

[rigid fjord]

depends on the model

[ancient shale]

for an extra 5 bucks i can get 850w of the same model: https://www.amazon.com/quiet-Certification-semi-Passive-Technology-Overclocked/dp/B0FBY3F1NT/

[steel umbra]

i can tell you which psus have a meh fan but can't quite tell you which budget ones have a good one

[tacit star]

Seriously, buy used RAM

[steel umbra]

acceptable y

[tacit star]

Don't pay twice the price for a stupid basic 2x16 6000/30 kit

[ancient shale]

my planned rig is 509 watts, could even run off of my current 550w PSU 😭

[brazen hemlock]

used a rx 6600 is 250 ish euros here so maybe try your luck there

[tacit star]

I got 6700 XT for this price an year and a half ago

[true stirrup]

A used 6600 is like 140€

[steel umbra]

avoid if you care abt potential noise

oh well half of fans in budget B-A tier psus aren't ideal

[rigid fjord]

that's estimated when it comes to pdpp, not an exact amount

[brazen hemlock]

ding ding thank you idk modern gpu but i found them for 150 now gg

[ancient shale]

pdpp?

[rigid fjord]

pcpp**

[tacit star]

Back when these money could buy you a 1070

[craggy cove]

windows is bitlockering every fucking drive i plug in raaaaahhh im trying to sell these

[tacit star]

Those were the times

[craggy cove]

ehh buyer cna figure it out fuck it

[ancient shale]

should i spend an extra $5 to get 850w, or just should get 750w

[brazen hemlock]

im still rocking an r9 390 msi 8gig

[steel umbra]

i guess new 3090 price is 700 euros, i got mine for 500

[craggy cove]

5$ why not

[tacit star]

What's the brand? Certificate?

[mossy sparrow]

Hi everyone, I'm looking for a new blue case for the OnePlus 13 and I've come across the the Nilkin Super Frosted Shield Pro for the OnePlus 13. The reviews are great but however a Redditor made a video in which he or she mentions that there is a gap between the edge of the display and the case. He uploaded that video to a post over here: https://www.reddit.com/r/oneplus/comments/1myt7j6/oneplus_13_case_comparison_nillkin_vs_ringke/

Does anyone else have the Nilkin Super Froster Shield Pro for the OnePlus 13? And if you have it can you confirm that what the Redditor mentions in his post and video is true? Can you lastly recommend the mentioned case to me lastly?

Thanks for your time and answers in advance!

[craggy cove]

850w is a much cooler number

[steel umbra]

very sad such old card is 700 on the second hand market

[brazen hemlock]

get a 9070xt for that lol

[craggy cove]

assuming its the same quality

[steel umbra]

minimum

average is 800

[rigid fjord]

yes

[ancient shale]

be quiet brand, 80+ gold

[ancient shale]

disagreed but okay

[tacit star]

Tell use the two models

[steel umbra]

fake

[tacit star]

It's probs non-modular vs modular

These two be quiet! models

[neon ocean]

Bump with two examples:
$80: TP Link TBE 550E
$40: MSI Herald-BE

[steel umbra]

3/4 sounds better than 17/20 @craggy cove

[ancient shale]

be quiet! 13 M 850W fully modular 80+ gold
be quiet! 13 M 750W fully modular 80+ gold

[tacit star]

Same models

[ancient shale]

I did tell you

[tacit star]

Get the 850W lol

[ancient shale]

but 5 extra bucks 💔

plus i have to order it from amazon as opposed to my micro center

[tacit star]

Get 850W

Otherwise you'll be sorry

[brazen hemlock]

what do you mean back then the 1070 was 600

[steel umbra]

the 750w one is not worth it

[tacit star]

Talking about used market

[steel umbra]

and 850w is prob overkill for you

[craggy cove]

right but 750w sounds like compromise 850w is so eshseuoffh

[tacit star]

Aye it isn't

[craggy cove]

slobbering over 850w rn

[tacit star]

Get 850W

[ancient shale]

Pretty good deal rn for Black Friday, usually the 850W is 130 USD

[steel umbra]

lies

[craggy cove]

wish i had a 850w psu instead of this stupid 750w one

i can barely sleep atp

[brazen hemlock]

i just bought my r9 390 8gig new man idk nvidia always seems expensive

[craggy cove]

do not make my mistake.

[craggy cove]

rtx 5060 ti also has 8gbs of vram, cant see the problem here

[brazen hemlock]

10 years later yup tots normal lol

[tacit star]

Remember when 580 8GB was an overkill compared to the 4GB ver? And nobody recommended it

[brazen hemlock]

game devs are thicc aswell with their un opti garbo

[dull willow]

wow what a coincidence

[brazen hemlock]

because when you have a R9 390 no need to upgrade artifacting? melting vram pcb portion, just repaste and send it lol

still does 100 fps in beam ng

[steel umbra]

high power draw = high bills ez

bigger numier bettere

[craggy cove]

i plugged in the dickhead drive, if i touch it, it explodes

[craggy cove]

meanwhile the 1060 3gb was gimped in more ways than the vram

[steel umbra]

1050 ti xt

[brazen hemlock]

300w idle and? lmao

[craggy cove]

crystaldiskinfo doesnt like this drive and this drive doesnt like crystaldiskinfo

[tacit star]

I prefer 3-fan R9 280X

[brazen hemlock]

even older wow my msi was one of the first to put led sooo yeah

[steel umbra]

295x2

[craggy cove]

cdi cant even be killed by task manager wow

do i have to taskkill it

[tacit star]

Louder than your wife

[brazen hemlock]

mine is hotter then your mother

[steel umbra]

????????????????????????

[rigid fjord]

i hope that was over 10 years ago, because if you paid new prices for it now, someone will need to slap some sense into you

[tacit star]

The chip being different but NVIDIA selling them both as 1060

[steel umbra]

970 with 0.5gb of fake vram

[craggy cove]

ill put this image on the drive and ill see what happens

[brazen hemlock]

artifacting and burnt PCB doesnt happen in a jiffy lol

[craggy cove]

#nvidiadidnothingwrong

[tacit star]

1650 being the worst GPU ever, absolute pile of garbage

Why did 1650 Super got discontinued

[rigid fjord]

you haven't seen some of the nvidia cards have you?

[brazen hemlock]

12 pin

[tacit star]

Still better than 1030 DDR4

[craggy cove]

yep it exploded

[brazen hemlock]

thats why ill go rx 9070tx next

[swift stream]

when did ram become so expensive

[brazen hemlock]

1 its 64 gigs 2 6000 mhz plus rgb why are you even surprised man its hell out there dude

[rigid fjord]

5090 astral btw

[brazen hemlock]

lmao mine looks worse and still runs

bro its warped next to my die

[rapid lake]

So i sold someone a rx 5700 xt gaming pc a while a go, they messaged me they good a new monitor, and its a lg ultragear 4k monitor. They told me theres no sound from the speakers. I thing theres bigger fish to fry here, any advice?

[swift stream]

i got this exact RAM december of last year for 90USD, now look

[rapid lake]

I cant just tell them to get a 1080p monitor

[rigid fjord]

1 the seller, 2 it's 64gb, 3, its' a 6000 cl30 kit, 4, the upcharge in dram ic's that make vram/ram

[brazen hemlock]

its 130 to 200 euro here so idk tbh tarifs ig

[frigid blade]

That’s wild

[brazen hemlock]

[frigid blade]

I still can’t believe my 96GB kits are worth 400+ each now

[daring scaffold]

Sounds like their problem now, if it’s been a while

Most likely a problem with the monitor, not the PC

[rapid lake]

Its been like a year

[swift stream]

tariffs on tech were already lifted

[rapid lake]

But i told him if he has any problems i csn help

[daring scaffold]

Yeah, I don’t offer support after around 3 months usually

And I’ve sold 75+ PC’s atp

[ancient shale]

9070 xt or 5070 ti?

[neon ocean]

Bump x2

[brazen hemlock]

team red

[frigid blade]

Do you want ray tracing

[ancient shale]

it'd be pretty nice yeah

[frigid blade]

Then the 5070 Ti would be better at it

[ancient shale]

but what if i dont want ray tracing

theoretically

[frigid blade]

Then the 9070 xt is better value probably

If you can get it near MSRP

[ancient shale]

569.99 USD?

[brazen hemlock]

The NVIDIA RTX 5070 Ti delivers strong performance in Cyberpunk 2077, especially with ray tracing and path tracing enabled. At 1440p, it achieves 57 fps
The AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT demonstrates strong performance in Cyberpunk 2077 with ray tracing enabled, particularly when paired with FSR 4 upscaling and frame generation. At 1440p resolution, the card achieves an average of 68 fps... brave ai

uhoh sycophant or real ill verify later

[frigid blade]

Well yah frame gen

no frame gen vs frame gen probably gonna get higher FPS with frame gen

[brazen hemlock]

i see fair, i want beam ng in vr not raytracing

[frigid blade]

I wish I had a wheel for beamng

And maybe even pedals

Would make the game a lot more fun

[brazen hemlock]

my t150 is falling appart so ps5 controller will do until i get that t500 new thingy

[carmine light]

its crazy how much the ram prices have gone up each one of my ram kits i bought for £160 are now £434 each

[grizzled frost]

i can't wait for foveated rendering to become more of a widespread thing for VR

[frigid blade]

And probably gonna keep riding as supply is squeezed

[grizzled frost]

a 330usd kit i bought last year is now 1150usd

[carmine light]

i can sell my old ddr4 for more than i bought it for

5 years ago

[carmine light]

i wonder how much my ram would cost in the us now lol

[frigid blade]

I can’t seem to find a good average price

But I bought two of these kits for F5-6800J3446F48GX2-RS5K $250 total excluding taxes

Early this year

Auction on eBay, today they’re a lot more

[carmine light]

my kit is 4x32 6000 mts cl30 so it would be about $810 in the us now

[frigid blade]

Google shows $600 each kit now

[frigid blade]

That’s wild

Which one?

[grizzled frost]

2x48 6000 cl30 venegeance

[carmine light]

how is that more expensive than my kit

[frigid blade]

How is that more expensive than my kit

[grizzled frost]

what is your kit?

[frigid blade]

F5-6800J3446F48GX2-RS5K

It’s 34-46-46

[grizzled frost]

no idea, maybe cause it's a speed that will actually run on am5

[frigid blade]

Well this one is designed for Intel I think

So that makes more sense

[carmine light]

look at that for an increase on the ram lol

[frigid blade]

What’s with the AMD IMCs being so dookie?

[grizzled frost]

ask amd

[carmine light]

mines 6000 mts 30-40-40-76

on amazon its now £475 per kit

]

[grizzled frost]

what capacity?

[carmine light]

i use 4x32

but the kit is 2x32 officially

[frigid blade]

Interesting

[grizzled frost]

i mean 4 dimm kits are dum

[frigid blade]

That’s my kit on PCPP

[frigid blade]

Not if you want stable 4 dimms

Instead of mixing

[grizzled frost]

you shouldn't be running 4 dimms to begin with, especially on am5

[frigid blade]

I didn’t know they’re on am5

Why would you run 4 dimms with an AMD CPU

[carmine light]

mines stable and ive overclocked it all manually

[frigid blade]

What gear?

Don’t tell me 4

[carmine light]

what do u mean

[frigid blade]

What gear is it running in

Like 2:1, 4:1

I don’t think you’ll be running gear 2 on AM5 with 4 dimms tbh

Especially if you’re OC’ing

[carmine light]

where does it say

[frigid blade]

Your BIOS

Or maybe in an application like CPU-Z that shows memory stuff also

Not sure about the second part though I forgot

[carmine light]

i think its gear 2

[frigid blade]

You think or know? Show

[carmine light]

doesnt that mean it is

[frigid blade]

That’s 1:1

[carmine light]

thats half my actual speed

[frigid blade]

5200MT/s

[carmine light]

yes

[frigid blade]

It’s not half your speed

It’s the same speed just different unit

[carmine light]

it could probably go further than 5200mts it just takes 15 minutes to memory train each time i do anything in the bios

ive had literally no issues in the long time ive ran it

[frigid blade]

Did you run memory benchmarks?

[carmine light]

Yea

[frigid blade]

You could be seeing no issues but there could be still errors

You must’ve hit the lottery I don’t think it’s that easy for AM5 to run 1:1 with 4x32 at 5200

[carmine light]

Yea but my cpu still runs at 95c lol

[frigid blade]

I have to install fans specifically for my RAM

[carmine light]

My old undervolt just removed its self for no reason

[frigid blade]

They get too hot when overclocking and so they start erroring

I bet I could hit 6000MT/s if they had adequate cooling

[carmine light]

They dont overheat

I can see the temperatures

[frigid blade]

I’m talking about mine ^^^

[carmine light]

oh ok

[frigid blade]

Yah mb message was split

I gotta stop typing like this

But yah there was getting toasting, I think the low 90s?

Or maybe even mid

This was months ago I don’t remember but @azure topaz is the RAM OC master

I finally got some money to play with floppa, I will buy a better mobo and cpu for better IMC + active ram cooling

[frail topaz]

guys, should i get 9600x & 5070ti or 7800x3d & 5070

[carmine light]

i know my rams got more in it i just cant be bothered waiting all that time for it to train

[frigid blade]

Yah I can’t imagine the memory training times on am5

I was already waiting many minutes on my 13900kf

[carmine light]

idk how they make am5 run so stupidly hot too

[grizzled frost]

PBO

[frigid blade]

And I had 192gb, imagine you did 💀

[carmine light]

like i dont even need to run my fans 99% of the time even when its at 95c because the cooler doesnt get hot

[grizzled frost]

and a chonky IHS

[frigid blade]

AM5 can do 100C right? Instead of 95 like Intel?

[carmine light]

with fans on 200rpm or 2000 rpm it makes no difference to temperatures

[true stirrup]

Check if the ram die is Hynix
If it is just try to copy a buildzoid preset

[grizzled frost]

reverse

[frigid blade]

So why do they say the AM5 runs “so hot”?

If it’s cooler

[grizzled frost]

max temp isn't what temp the cpu actually runs at

[carmine light]

my cooler can cool a 250w intel chip easily but 120 watts on amd is too much

cant they just make it better

[frigid blade]

So AM5 runs hotter than Intel but more efficient?

[grizzled frost]

yes

[frigid blade]

how does that work

[grizzled frost]

higher temp, lower wattage

the heat is removed from the die less efficiently

[frigid blade]

You’d think heat dissipation is less efficient

[grizzled frost]

it is, that's why the delta has to be higher

[carmine light]

i may as well just set my fans to run as slow as possible all the time

or set them to the gpu sensor

crazy how the 5090 founders edition is considerably smaller than my card, quieter, draws 1.5x more power

idk why manufacturers dont just make efficient designs instead of massive bricks

[frigid blade]

Oh man I can’t wait for the big build I have planned, 169CFM for the fans

[grizzled frost]

you say that like it's easy to make efficient designs

[frigid blade]

It’s these 140s https://pcpartpicker.com/product/bMxxFT/iceberg-thermal-icegale-xtra-169-cfm-140-mm-fans-2-pack-icegale14x-a2a

[carmine light]

i wish there was more stock of founders cards so i could have a nice small card

[neon ocean]

Bump x3

[carmine light]

who is actually spending like 40% more than msrp to get an assus brick

[swift moss]

genius idea

[frigid blade]

Hard wire

[frigid blade]

Print a 3d printer

Would that be possible

[wheat torrent]

no way I "have" privacy

[swift moss]

well you would probably need aluminium supports

other than that and the electronics, yeah

[frigid blade]

You can’t 3d print electronics yet? Booo

[swift moss]

prusa 3d prints parts for their 3d printers

[grizzled frost]

yeah you can

it's just not economical

[frigid blade]

I meant with a regular 3d printer

[grizzled frost]

how are you gonna print copper with a normal 3d printer?

[swift moss]

i mean you can probably feed enameled copper through lol

[frigid blade]

The same way you can do other metal 3d printing?

[swift moss]

you can't 3d print metal.. on a normal printer

your printer is NOT hitting 2000c

[grizzled frost]

yeah but that wouldn't be a "regular 3d printer"

[frigid blade]

Why not

[craggy cove]

poo is being sold for 380€

[frigid blade]

DIY it to have a hotter nozzle

[swift moss]

copper melts at 1500c 😭

[frigid blade]

Yo that GPU sag is crazy for that thin of a card

[swift moss]

that's a h&s violation having 1500c in such a small package

[frigid blade]

Wait nvm im seeing stuff

[south arrow]

[swift moss]

typa toolhead you need for that temp

[frigid blade]

Then let’s ignore any laws

[swift moss]

slightly faker metal 3d printing

[frigid blade]

Is there a conductive metal that would melt with a regular 3d printer?

There has to be

[swift moss]

oh here's your homemade one

[frigid blade]

See I told you am genius

[swift moss]

gallium and gold i guess..

gallium not effective as a wire and gold is only used for stuff like ENIG plating

[carmine light]

I like how after I run a ram stress test my idle ram drops from 24gb to 11gb

[frigid blade]

Then we have a start

Guys do I wait for the 10 billion core next gen intel?

Or just go with core ultra

Tf is even happening with Nova Lake? Is it still gonna be like (16p + 8e + 2lp) * 2?

52 core consumer CPU

I lied

16p 32e 4lp

[carmine light]

Whats happening with many core arm cpus I haven't heard anything in a while other than amperes 512 core cpus

i know there were systems being made with like 4 of them per server

i think it had like 12 ram channels and could do about 6tb per cpu

at am5 memory training speeds that would be 12 hours per cpu

i havent heard anything from them in a long time anyway

im guessing if it isnt good for ai no one is interested anymore

[ancient shale]

will i run into any major issues running a 5070 ti with only 1 140mm intake and 1 120mm exhaust fans?

[carmine light]

Probably not

[neon ocean]

Can't. Power lines are too old to be better than WiFi and I'm on the opposite end of the building + separate floor

[carmine light]

You wont have any major issues anyway if it overheats it will just reduce clocks until it can hold temperature

[ancient shale]

👍 thanks guys. i'm just wondering because my fans take a lot longer to ship than the rest of my parts, so like a week i will be with only stock fans

[carmine light]

Depends on your case and specific graphics card manufacturer too

[frigid blade]

does the building have tv caoxial running through it?

[neon ocean]

I got a phone cable for dial up.

[frigid blade]

i know youre looking for wifi but theres probably coaxial running through the building and it would almost certainly offer lower latency and faster speeds especially across the building and between floors

[frigid blade]

nothing like the top circular one?

as for the pcie cards, as long as theyre the same chip, the price difference shouldnt matter too much

[steel umbra]

https://youtu.be/86LnUk2Dk50 hmmmm?

[cobalt vigil]

yo got a question i buy power is a good or bad pc brand cuz im getting mixed reviews from my freind?

[grizzled frost]

solidly mediocre

[gleaming rose]

build yourself

[frigid blade]

mid

[cobalt vigil]

aight

[frigid blade]

yah build it yourself, will turn out cheaper and youll learn something

[cobalt vigil]

cuz i found these specs for 1500 and was wondering if it worth

i just thought it looked fishy cuz it doesn’t specify the motherboard and other parts

[frigid blade]

well it definitely seems to be a more competative pricing

actually, nvm im looking now

[craggy cove]

my idea there was quite possibly the worst aio config ive sene

[neon ocean]

Oh no, the house is much older than that. We did have a cable once upon a time leading from the wall to the outside box, but Xfinity snipped it when we no longer used it

[frigid blade]

wow, assholes

[craggy cove]

this one does have gpu sag however

why do some matx boards not have the pcie x16 in the 1st slot

[frigid blade]

put some books or something under it 😭

[craggy cove]

so goofy

[neon ocean]

Yeah.. I've been tempted to connect and pull the cable through with a new one attached.

[craggy cove]

you can fit like a triple a battery under that

personally i use hundreds of 300mah lithium batteries as packing material

[frigid blade]

https://tenor.com/view/doja-cat-star-wars-gif-25078126

i just did something very similar through a pillar

[neon ocean]

Hmm...

[frigid blade]

there was existing cable that I tied some ethernet to and just pulled as hard as I could

[ocean axle]

CPU cooler clearance afaik

[frigid blade]

took about half an hour, finally got it through

kept getting stuck because the pillar was filled with existing cable

[neon ocean]

Ah, wonderful. There's essentially nothing there to my knowledge.

[ocean axle]

do also consider that most ATX boards put the 1st x16 in slot #2 as well

[frigid blade]

why?

[ocean axle]

the exception is boards that have 4 of them, which basically dont exist today (except for HEDT/workstation, where theres usually more than 4)

[ocean axle]

also cooler clearance afaik

[frigid blade]

ive never seen that tbh

i usually see the top slot is x16 in x16 mode with gen 5

then the bottom 2 are x16 in x4 mode

[ocean axle]

the brackets have a defined location, the primary x16 doesn't

im saying that the top/primary x16 slot is the second bracket

[frigid blade]

ohhhh

i thought you meant the order on the board

[azure topaz]

first one

[azure topaz]

heat speader is very thick to maintain am4 cooler compatibility

i hope am5 does not get the same fate

am6 oops

[carmine light]

I would rather buy a new cooler amd have lower temps than have the shit we have now

[indigo bough]

u guys think £115 is a decent amount for a 7600x? im selling my old one, idk if i should accept the offer tho ngl

[ocean axle]

and dont forget, am4 keeps height compat with AM3

which is compat with AM2

[azure topaz]

yeah they’re technically all compatible

[ocean axle]

so, with a slightly different hole pattern, AM2 coolers work on AM5

[azure topaz]

poorly!

give me the fm2+ athlon clip cooler

[ocean axle]

oh, yea, clip coolers exist, i forget about those things

[frigid blade]

for the life of me I cant find a board with 2 x16 slots that run in either x16/x0 or x8/x8 and an x4 slot also

[azure topaz]

doesn’t exist

[carmine light]

Why dont they just make the board thicker and ihs thinner

[frigid blade]

why\

ive seen the x16/x0 and x8/x8 already

[azure topaz]

intel/amd shenanigans

[frigid blade]

i just cant find one with an extra x4

[azure topaz]

this is called pcie bifurcation

[frigid blade]

yah, we talked about it some months ago

[azure topaz]

yeah

[frigid blade]

wait lemme ask AI its gotten much better since hten

[azure topaz]

idk if there’s any boards with 20 lanes for the user like dat

maybe 2x16 and a nvme slot

[frigid blade]

i need also 4 nvme slots

[azure topaz]

and now you’re out of lanes

[frigid blade]

not if you run them with less lanes

wait am i

[azure topaz]

8 lanes assuming drives run at 2 lanes each
16 for the main pcie slots
4 for your extra slot

[frigid blade]

can you run drives at x1

[azure topaz]

depending on your board it is possible i think

[azure topaz]

yeah i’m pretty sure

[azure topaz]

28 lanes, cpus give 20

[frigid blade]

then it could work, isnt that still like 2GB/s per drive?

[azure topaz]

board surely gives 8 but how they decide to use those lanes is unfortunately beyond you

[azure topaz]

something like that

[frigid blade]

yah it fucking sucks

[azure topaz]

yeah i doubt you’re finding a board with all of that

[frigid blade]

but id like the ability to have 2 GPUs and an HBA

The extra GPU is for quick swapping when I dev my Hyper-V scripts

[azure topaz]

well ok think about it

you only need 1 fast card realistically

[frigid blade]

so just x16 and then x4 x4?

[azure topaz]

the other card doesn’t need to be out into an x8 slot just an x16 physical

[azure topaz]

something like this

[frigid blade]

look what I found

[azure topaz]

yeah but that’s z890

z790 only supports x8x8 bifurcation

[frigid blade]

im upgrading cpu

[azure topaz]

as listed in the spec somewhere lol

[azure topaz]

265k z890 ocf

[frigid blade]

285k

[frigid blade]

wait the taichi ocf can do x16 x8 and x4

oh but only 1 nvme

wait no

[azure topaz]

it has 4 nvme slots or something

i have it lol

[frigid blade]

huh? how is there so many and it has x16 and x8 without bifurcation?

[frigid blade]

its perfect

[azure topaz]

it’s bifurcating them for sure i think

main slots share lanes

[frigid blade]

it dont say anything about sharing tho

[azure topaz]

rest don’t

[azure topaz]

i literally can go find out 💀😭

[frigid blade]

im just looking at this

[azure topaz]

ah

[frigid blade]

please check

[azure topaz]

read the manual yourself first i’m about to walk to the store

[frigid blade]

floppa i dont wanna hear it about the speed

[proven shoal]

jesus

4x48gbs?

[frigid blade]

yessir

i had them running 5600MT/s stable in gear 2 but I broke that so its just running the JEDEC default speed

upgrading CPU and Motherboard so I can OC to 6000MT/s

[azure topaz]

keep in mind the ocf only has 2 dimm slots

[frigid blade]

bruh

[azure topaz]

there’s a non ocf taichi

[frigid blade]

why would you recommend a board with 2 slots to me

[azure topaz]

see if that fits the bill

[proven shoal]

currently dont need more than 32gb rn but i want to build a new nas, and atp ram is prob costing more than my cpu+mobo :/

[azure topaz]

i forget you’re a 4 slot freak

[frigid blade]

i did it because it was a crazy deal

$250 for the 4 dimms

[proven shoal]

thats cheap

[frigid blade]

took many months of just watching ebay auctions hoping someone would miss it

[proven shoal]

i bought the microcenter bundle early last year

[azure topaz]

[frigid blade]

theyre just not as nerdy as you

wait floppa didnt you say you dont like asrock

why do you have the taichi ocf

[proven shoal]

might be cooked that i already have a case, psu and aio ready for my build but no cpu, mobo and ram 💀

[frigid blade]

nah

[azure topaz]

329$ oc board

[frigid blade]

look what they did

do dimms use lanes?

[azure topaz]

no lol

[proven shoal]

no

[frigid blade]

oh I see why its got one less slot

[azure topaz]

good question but that made me laugh

[proven shoal]

they have their own lanes

[azure topaz]

could be io changes, etc

[ocean axle]

this fast enough for you?

[frigid blade]

6 nvme slots

in x4

[azure topaz]

ay

[frigid blade]

asrock can go to hell for that

literally wouldve been the perfect board for me

[lapis furnace]

@azure topaz your kind words pls

[frigid blade]

not fast enough

[ocean axle]

thats 6, and you have 2+4, because chipset

[frigid blade]

why made you laf

[ocean axle]

all 4 on the chipset can be used at x4 speeds individually

however, they all share an x4 link back to the CPU from the chipset, so you can get at most x4 from them combined at once

[azure topaz]

you’re telling me 100GB/s+ configs are fitting thru a handful of pcie lanes

[frigid blade]

well anyway my point is I want x16 x8 x4 slots and 4 nvme

this wouldve been the perfect board

[ocean axle]

that was using most of that server's resources to bench that, its not going to go that much faster

[frigid blade]

maybe theyre super special lanes

[azure topaz]

wait for 64gb sticks to come out

[azure topaz]

not pcie anymore is it

[frigid blade]

they already exist but im not spending more

my own kits cost $700/each now

[azure topaz]

i meant for like xhewpet

[frigid blade]

oh

[azure topaz]

cheaper

augh my bad no monster yet

[ocean axle]

said server, its no slouch

[frigid blade]

mid cpu

[azure topaz]

i have a 10700 if that means anything

[frigid blade]

have you tried upgrading so you can OC RAM higher?

or would it not help

[azure topaz]

you think i have a 10700 in my daily

[frigid blade]

idfk you said you have a 10700

oh servers

[azure topaz]

my server lol

[frigid blade]

i forgot you plebs dont daily on your server

[azure topaz]

i have z890

[ocean axle]

yea, and i have a 3570k

[proven shoal]

is that half a terabyte of ram?

[ocean axle]

yes, yes it is

[azure topaz]

it is fast computer

[frigid blade]

yah servers can do a lot of ram

[azure topaz]

i daily 9000 ram

[ocean axle]

8x64GB

[proven shoal]

i am aware. I was making sure my eyes weren't deceiving me and reading a extra character

[azure topaz]

51.2gb ram yes

[proven shoal]

crazy amount fr

[frigid blade]

my dream r940 build was 8x32gb ddr4 with 4 sockets doing 28 cores each thats 224 threads

[ocean axle]

wait, you dont have another computer to be your server?

[ocean axle]

heh, ive got more threads from one CPU

[azure topaz]

my tiny server

[frigid blade]

no, my main rn once upgraded will be the server for everything, basically it will have VMs with my 4090 paravirtualized to each VM

[azure topaz]

2x4tb hdds just brrrr-in away

[ocean axle]

ive run that kind of setup, its not perfect

[frigid blade]

on Hyper-V, I built my own script to automate this process https://github.com/DanielChrobak/Hyper-V-GPU-Manager

[azure topaz]

chrobak more like

[ocean axle]

though i did it on KVM

[frigid blade]

It works with NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel

also iGPU

[azure topaz]

you’re telling me i can split my uhd 630 in half

[frigid blade]

yes

[azure topaz]

uhd 315

[frigid blade]

idk but it worked with my i7-4600U

idk what iGPU that has but its old

[azure topaz]

old yeah

[frigid blade]

the VM had 4GB of RAM and 1 core

lol

[frigid blade]

but it can run vanilla minecraft at a stable 60fps at 1080p with medium settings

so its a beast tbh, and its undervolted

[azure topaz]

yeah hSwell isn’t too slow

it’s got avx2 and such. it’s what i consider the bare minimum nowadays

[frigid blade]

i find it crazy though, can do like 10 chunks in render and 8 simulation

and fancy graphics

[frigid blade]

it was fun, got to install modded bios

[azure topaz]

yah stuff that old is always more fun cause we figure out most of the cool stuff like 10 years too late

[hidden charm]

Is Crucial X10 a good external ssd?

[bright anvil]

Yo im back

[obsidian osprey]

Hey it’s coming up to Christmas and I wanted to buy my girlfriend a new gpu because she doesn’t really play graphically intense games but she likes Minecraft shaders and intense Skyrim graphics mods which she currently can’t run, does anyone know if nvidis cards are better for this? Idk if shaders use tensor cores or not, would anyone be able to recommend a new gpu for her?

[bright anvil]

Is it posable to just install windows to that spare 512 and boot off that than uninstall windows off the 1tb?

[frigid blade]

@azure topaz actually the regular taichi will work

[azure topaz]

yeah now kiss me

but fr?

[frigid blade]

its got only x16 and x4 slot but the x16 supports riser card for x8/x8 or x8/x4/x4

[azure topaz]

well yeah thats how pcie bifur works lol

[frigid blade]

oops

i think i mixed that up in my head when I was searching

i was thinking of the lane sharing

so like 2 x16s was either x16/x0 or x8/x8

[ivory mountain]

wtf is a girlfriend

[steel umbra]

forgor

idk

[azure topaz]

lol

[frigid blade]

thanks for the help sigma

[azure topaz]

no worries let me know when you get that board

i havent seen many z890 4 dimm setup

[frigid blade]

i will see if I can find a good price first

[azure topaz]

should do above 6k hopefully

[frigid blade]

my inner jew must be satisfied

[azure topaz]

check the site i told you in dms

[craggy cove]

how tf is this board in the rog series

[steel umbra]

rog prebuilds generally were terrible in that era

[azure topaz]

my only question

why is the cmos battery slot photoshoppped in

quite poorly

[craggy cove]

prob cause they used a stock photo

[azure topaz]

but its

[craggy cove]

but aliexpress mobos dont come with cmos batteries

[azure topaz]

there in th e stock photo

[craggy cove]

in the stock photo there is a cmos battery prob

[azure topaz]

youre a cmos battery

[craggy cove]

kinda still suck

[azure topaz]

yah

[craggy cove]

find my cr2032s.

[azure topaz]

you can use a cr 2025 instead

first number is diameter 2nd is thickness

[craggy cove]

am i supposed to have them at home or loot them from other electronics

[azure topaz]

i do the 2nd one

[craggy cove]

stole one from a guitar tuner to use in a b550m

[azure topaz]

incredible

[craggy cove]

[agile wraith]

Trying to find what's going on my cousin's PC, it's randomly turning off. PSU issue?

[azure topaz]

probably

[ionic peak]

i think you got a randomizer in your PSu

[azure topaz]

does it turn off under a heavy load?

[nimble marsh]

Probably GPU taking more from the PSU than it has

[azure topaz]

or its just a bad power supply

[nimble marsh]

Or overheating

[agile wraith]

It just turns off doing barely anything. One chrome tab open, one download running. Some times it doesn't even get to desktop

[azure topaz]

yeah probably psu then

[nimble marsh]

Yea PSU is dying i guess

[azure topaz]

check if its thermal throttling in the bios

[agile wraith]

GPU is a GT730, it doesn't it have a power connector

[azure topaz]

maybe its hitting tj max at 105c

[azure topaz]

this doesnt matter

[azure topaz]

should be able to read cpu temp

if its at like 70+ c it could be thermal shutdown instead

[agile wraith]

This BIOS is ass, it doesn't have temps

[azure topaz]

ok here

[agile wraith]

I'm gonna reseat the cables and if it doesn't help I'll tell him his PSU is failing

[azure topaz]

if the system shuts down faster the 2nd time trying after a while of letting it cool down

its thermal shut down

if it doesnt and its truly random its psu

[agile wraith]

But I managed HWinfo once, it was 70°+ but it didn't seem to be thermal throttling

[agile wraith]

Thermal shut down it just shut downs, right? It doesn't reboot?

[azure topaz]

probably depends

[craggy cove]

i have a chieftec psu that shut down 10 sec after reaching windows but somehow survived an entire bios update

i did the bios update cause the seller told me it was a mobo issue for some reason

[ancient shale]

hey, can y'all help me find some good DDR5 RAM with RGB for a good price?

i saw these which look pretty good but i heard the vengeance line was unstable?

[agile wraith]

Yeah I'll rule it out as the PSU

[austere fox]

Can anyone help me with upgrading to windows 11?
I cant seem to find out why it deems my pc not fullfilling of the min specs.

Specs:
CPU: I5-10400f
GPU: RTX 3060 12GB
RAM: 32GB 3200mhz
2.5tb total storage
Secure boot + TPM 2.0 are enabled.

[ionic peak]

For War thunder?

[austere fox]

No why? Havent played in ages, i was doing tpm 2.0 and secureboot anyways for bf6 and thought might aswell just do the windows 11 aswell at this point

[ionic peak]

Ah ok wana know or do you know what came in last updates

[austere fox]

Bro if i cared id check myself idiot

[ionic peak]

mean 🙁

[ionic peak]

Strange

Like i only need to do is to get a 3000 series ryzen or 5000 one

then i can also get win 11

[azure topaz]

how are you trying to upgrade

[austere fox]

Like i dont get it (Its german if you wana translate)

[azure topaz]

thru the app?

try just downloading the windows 11 iso, extracting it, then running the setup.exe inside

should allow you to upgrade in place

[austere fox]

Left "your pc currently dosnt fulfill the minimum requirements" right "this pc fullfils the requirements"

[azure topaz]

yah

just a stupid computer

[azure cipher]

Hey y'all, quick question. Someone I know lost their S20 FE and they now need a replacement. Would it be better to go for a new S25 FE for $475 US or an eBay Refurbished S25 for $430 US? I'm leaning towards the latter, but I don't know if it'll compromise on water resistance or the like.

[craggy cove]

s25 is 6.2" and has a better chip
s25 fe is 6.7" and has an exynass chip

so idk probably s25

unless the small screen is a problem

[azure cipher]

Nah smaller screen is better, just worried about the water resistance

[craggy cove]

i would assume they glued it back correctly

so it would also be water resistant, yes

[azure cipher]

Dang, didn't know it was that simple

I thought they needed special equipment lol

[craggy cove]

well you pull the old glue/seal off like string cheese

then apply a new one

or thats my idea of it

gonna replace my first battery when it arrives

[limber shale]

can someone help me with Xiaomi G Pro 27i vs Q27G3XMN in #peripherals

[wet ember]

RAM prices are getting worse and worse... when is this gonna stop please

My gskill 6000mhz costed me $199 on Nov 2. Now they're $256

[craggy cove]

outperforming the s&p 500 💪

[craggy cove]

when the bubble pops

[limber shale]

Please?

[craggy cove]

manufacturing is not getting increased any time soon

[azure topaz]

nah

all space is taken up by hbm wafers

mmmm wafer

[grizzled frost]

one of the smallest price hike's i've seen in ram pricing

my ram kit went from 330usd to 1150usd

[azure topaz]

you guys dont know this but weve had a shortage of dram literally every major gen

d4 was insanely expensive upon release

[covert hinge]

Idk, I lucked out by striking a deal on a second hand pair that were brand new. I got the deal like right after the prices hiked. Not the best but it worked at least

[grizzled frost]

oh no i'm aware, hence why i'm just waiting for it to drop again

[azure topaz]

lmao yeah

i promise it will just if you have a functional pc rn dont uby ram

[craggy cove]

read the rtings reviews and decide whats more important for you

[azure topaz]

although bdie (my goat) is still pretty cheap

[craggy cove]

d5 too when alder lake came out!

[azure topaz]

no im talking more expensive than d5 was

[craggy cove]

d2 just sucked

thats all i remember
