tech-chat-1

[azure topaz]

youre going to be paying like half the price if not less 😭

[turbid tendon]

Floppa it’s been forever last time I see you was in dawids server

[azure topaz]

itll work good, esp if you dont plan on ocing

[frigid blade]

eBay auctions might be cheaper

[azure topaz]

if you go to goodwill and get lucky they may have a cheaper ddr5 kit

could save maybe 6 bucks

your local tweaker may also have some hynix a die memory

[ancient shale]

😭

[turbid tendon]

Guess the specs of that dell tho

[rough salmon]

I only looked at the prices lol, I only have a laptop and I upgraded to 16gb ram but I think if I go higher the cpu will bottleneck the ram

[sour storm]

Image from the website cause not on my owm pc right mow and this domt have discord installed

[ancient shale]

Got it

[frigid blade]

why does goodwill sell ram at market pricing, thats bad will

[azure topaz]

it was a joke daniel

[frigid blade]

we all know ram is not worth its current price

[azure topaz]

but its goodwill they dont price a lot of stuff good

[frigid blade]

sorry 4am brain

[azure topaz]

its literally up to whos working that day for the price of items

[rough salmon]

Yh I’m waiting for the laptop ram

[azure topaz]

3/4 of the tech at my goodwill doesnt even have a price sticker

i just bring it to the register with the oldest person

[frigid blade]

bro i wanna by 2x8gb ddr3 sodimm and its fucking $50

[azure topaz]

i can send you that

[rough salmon]

Then when I get steam machine I’m putting 64gb ram on it

[sour storm]

I have afeeling watercooling is overkill for 7500f

[frigid blade]

1600?

[random gyro]

Hmmm

[random gyro]

i5? ;-;

[azure topaz]

something like that, its ddr3, 1600 vs 133 is not saving you

[frigid blade]

im trying to upgrade my laptop because this 8gb really suckk

[azure topaz]

doesnt exist so what do you think sir

[frigid blade]

my laptop can only do 1600

[sour storm]

?

[south arrow]

Yuss but if wanting the aio fans thats alright to just keeps it alittle extra icy

[random gyro]

i did a stupid

[azure topaz]

1333 is less than 1600

[frigid blade]

i know but the website only says 1600, not up to

[azure topaz]

so is 1066

its a ddr3 laptop, you think the docs are good?

[frigid blade]

yah good point

[random gyro]

i thought it was core i5 7500f, not ryzen 5 7500f, ;-;

[ancient shale]

Guys I went to my local Goodwill and asked them if they sold RAM, took out a weird goat looking thing?

[azure topaz]

but its either 1333 or 1600

[frigid blade]

i wouldnt mind anyway lol just need more of it

[sour storm]

Nah im gonna watercool a r5 7500f

Looks better

[azure topaz]

i got 8gb dimms of it let me look

[south arrow]

I know prices are rough but sacrificing goats is not the answer lol

[random gyro]

i mean if you want it..sure

[azure topaz]

2XR8 1600 DDR3L

yah you good this would work

[ancient shale]

I mean they did 😭

[frigid blade]

if you actually wanna send ill print you a label

[azure topaz]

i have to steal its companion from a computer sealed in resin so give me a day or two

[turbid tendon]

You think my dells specs is good it’s got a 5600GT 1tb of storage and rx5700 non xt

[azure topaz]

i am deadass unfortunately

[azure topaz]

could be better could be worse

[sour storm]

Are ypu sure? I mean if we keep leaving goat blood infrotm of the local pc parts stores that should work right?

[azure topaz]

5600GT is a weird pick, 5700 i can see being ok, flash it to a 5700XT for fun

[turbid tendon]

Yea I’m still trying to find a better card my 1080ti isn’t fitting in there

[azure topaz]

would focus cpu

[south arrow]

New guy coming in on Monday "what the friggg"

[turbid tendon]

The 1080ti is getting a kraken G12

[azure topaz]

5600GT isnt exactly raw speed

[weary rampart]

Isnt that like a chip you can basically passively cool

[south arrow]

https://tenor.com/view/jail-right-to-jail-right-away-parks-and-recreation-parks-and-rec-gif-16177531

[azure topaz]

i have faster in my cpu graveyard

[turbid tendon]

If anyone knows what the kraken g12 even is

[azure topaz]

its the aio bracket kit

[sour storm]

Yeah.

[ancient shale]

"Dang I didn't know the PC scene was so strange"

[rough salmon]

I might sell the ram I didn’t use, look how much it is rn 💀😭

[azure topaz]

make sure you cool the ram, they stopped making the G12 for a reason

[turbid tendon]

Yep I got one for a steal these are rare

[sour storm]

Will i? Nah

[azure topaz]

the reason is that it killed cards because it doesnt cool the ram or power delivery

so thats cool

[turbid tendon]

I am keeping the stock vrm heatsink on it

[azure topaz]

put a fan blowing toward it

please lol

[turbid tendon]

It has one already with it

I bought a brand new g12

[azure topaz]

ok good not all of them worked which was their issue 💀

[turbid tendon]

I am doing this because my hybrid pump died in my evga 1080ti

[south arrow]

https://tenor.com/view/banished-to-the-shadow-realm-noise-gif-16595369668659675874

[azure topaz]

the 1080Ti has GDDR5X memory, i saw this dying commonly 3-5 years ago, i dont feel theyre any better off now, almost none of the cards had cooling for the mem

[turbid tendon]

I’m so upset I got to rip its beauty off of it

[sour storm]

https://tenor.com/view/among-us-throw-yeet-gif-17084268617339690748

[south arrow]

I dont knowww

Just tell me how your day was or I suck or smth lol

[azure topaz]

worm can i steal your computer

just for like a day

[turbid tendon]

To be real I might keep it as a collection peice

[frigid blade]

@azure topaz how big would the package be

[azure topaz]

tiny my boy

[frigid blade]

i just wanna see the rates

[south arrow]

Need to sell these things but slowly moving product

[azure topaz]

i ship something out wednesday to @gentle kestrel my beloved so hit me up then

we can just use a flat rate envelope

it will work just fine, itll be like, 8$

ill bubble wrap the dimms so they dont jostle eachother to death and itll be fine

[turbid tendon]

Who misses evga tho as a gpu brand i miss these beauty’s of cards

[south arrow]

Im ||super depressed|| but I hope you're doing good

[azure topaz]

could i use 2 p620s to encode in jellyfin

i need more ramzos on the card

i need somethin with 4-6gb vram to hit my conccurent streams target

[weary rampart]

I am gonna rebuild my rig into a big old mostly aluminum case but there is literally zero space for my AIO and my gpu might not even fit because of the 5.25" bays, floppy bays and hdd bays.

[turbid tendon]

I still got my titan x

[azure topaz]

idk of any low profile nvidia cards with 6gb vram for cheap tho

[turbid tendon]

It’s the Maxwell one

[azure topaz]

yeah

[turbid tendon]

Gtx 1070 itx for cheap if you want modern good luck try intel

[azure topaz]

quadro p1000 would be cool its a 4GB card

[azure topaz]

1070 low profile doesnt exist

[turbid tendon]

I got one

[turbid tendon]

No not low profile

[azure topaz]

there is an (a single) GTX 1070 single slot card but its not low profile

yeah im requesting low profile

[turbid tendon]

Itx

[azure topaz]

i dont have itx i have low profile

[turbid tendon]

Rtx 3050 lp

[azure topaz]

too expensive less gamery more cheap quadro

see its a little guy

[azure topaz]

yeah those would be decent for me

[azure topaz]

i have a janky rx 570 to trade

[south arrow]

Just a lil guy, ain't ever hurt nobody

[turbid tendon]

Rx 570 has a place in my heart ngl

[azure topaz]

my first ever DGPU

[turbid tendon]

My first was a gt 610

[frigid blade]

why is the slot off center with the bracket

is this just a pov thing?

[azure topaz]

the lane?

[random gyro]

when the igpu is faster than thr gpu itself 🔥

[frigid blade]

the pcie slot, it looks like its above the first bracket opening

[turbid tendon]

It’s the case and the angle I took the photo this zalman case is 🗑️

[azure topaz]

oh its just deceiving you

[turbid tendon]

That’s why I made my pc into a sleeper

[frigid blade]

im talking about floppas

[turbid tendon]

Ooh

[azure topaz]

P1000 might actually be my best option tbh

[turbid tendon]

I built a 3600 rig with my titan x the 5600GT with the rx5700 and the 2600 with the quadro p1000

All got 16 GBs of ram

[azure topaz]

@south arrow you got any cute nvidia quadros?

[frigid blade]

if i was still at my high school i couldve yoinked a quadro for u

WAIT I HAVE ONE

[azure topaz]

a p1k?

[frigid blade]

i dont know but its a quadro and old

[south arrow]

Not yet keks

[azure topaz]

i can trade the P620 so you have a card of same gen still

if it is one that would work better idk

[turbid tendon]

I want a p2000

[frigid blade]

lemme show u picture

[azure topaz]

mkay shawty

[azure topaz]

hmmmm fine ill do it myself

[stark kiln]

Lowk I do not regret rdr2

[frigid blade]

It’s in my box of things I don’t need but refuse to throw out

[south arrow]

Its me/10 when I post this how I be sitting in the morning

[azure topaz]

me except my whole bedroom

[frigid blade]

I have a 9600GT also

[azure topaz]

that is not useful for transcoding

[turbid tendon]

I violated my optiplex 3050 micro I put a i7 7700 in there runs great as a htpc

[azure topaz]

IM TRYING TO FURTHER MY MISSION

[kindred halo]

Pretty silly, love it lmao
What do you think of mine?
(First is laptop, second is desktop)

[azure topaz]

holly fuck thats not even kepler thats like

fucking fermi 1

might be older oml

[turbid tendon]

P1000 is still good pascal card

[frigid blade]

Wait I have more

[south arrow]

Lol phantoms got some solids

[kindred halo]

Meh it's what I am used to, plus syncing with both desktop & mobile is nice

[azure topaz]

pascal cards arent very useful for gaming but for home serving they seem servicable

[kindred halo]

Ty :3
Also, unrelated; You okay with a DM rq?

[turbid tendon]

Gtx 1050 roughly p1000 but at 47 watts max

[south arrow]

Oh im about to crash its 2am but ill check it once I awakens

[kindred halo]

Alright :3

[turbid tendon]

Idk the 1080ti still shreads

I've had multiple.

[azure topaz]

until you need resampling of sorts

[turbid tendon]

I had lossless scaling running on the Quadro while the 1080ti did all the heavy lifting

[azure topaz]

wow theyre all so garbage that most have DMS 59

most people here havent even heard of that

[frigid blade]

My army of… cards

[azure topaz]

not even graphics cards just

cards

[azure topaz]

"output" cards as all they can just about do is produce a picture on screen

[azure topaz]

fast ethernet is 100mb/s btw

"fast ethernet" is the spec name

[turbid tendon]

Isn't that an outdated display connector????

[frigid blade]

I know lol

[azure topaz]

its DVI times two

[azure topaz]

thats it its just kind of useless

[turbid tendon]

I never messed around with it I bet those cards are older than me

[azure topaz]

its 1 port thats 2 ports but i dont see the point cause you need 2 cables or 2 ports

ig it takes the cost from gpu maker guy onto adaptor maker guy

but youd assume the gpu maker includes an adaptor

[azure topaz]

so....how was it even cheaper

[turbid tendon]

I got my p1000 for free tbr with you

[azure topaz]

tbr?

[turbid tendon]

To be real

[azure topaz]

to be real

[turbid tendon]

Yes

[azure topaz]

im learning

i got most of the stuff ive talked about recently for free

[azure topaz]

my server was free bro 💀

[azure topaz]

alright buddy my 40GB maxtor drive (same physical size, too) wants a word

[turbid tendon]

I got the optiplex 3050 micro for 6 bucks and the i7 7700 for free

[frigid blade]

Wanna see my AM2 board

[azure topaz]

no thats gross take me to dinner first

[turbid tendon]

Eww am2

[azure topaz]

so fun fact

[turbid tendon]

And am3 plus

[azure topaz]

you can take the top off an amd socket

this applies for even am4

[frigid blade]

What’s cursed about this board

[azure topaz]

so if you somehow break the physical socket

you can take a socket from another board

[turbid tendon]

It'll expose the pins but If you get the CPUs pins and the motherboards pins it'll still work as long as there not bent

[azure topaz]

so here is my sacrifice thay i learned that with

notice no LGA arm?

ig not lga but retention arm

[turbid tendon]

Yes

[azure topaz]

yeah you literally can just move it over it’s cool

[azure topaz]

i broke a socket on another way better am3 board

[turbid tendon]

This stick of ram is older than me

[azure topaz]

just robbed that poor asrock of its home

[frigid blade]

My box of ram

[azure topaz]

edo memory is the name

[azure topaz]

one of these is not like the other

[frigid blade]

Yah there’s a 256 ssd

[turbid tendon]

I got ddr3 ddr4 and sodimn ddr4

[azure topaz]

twinnnssss xDDD

[turbid tendon]

I wanna put together a windows 7 gaming pc build or a xp one

[frigid blade]

@azure topaz what do I do with my GPUs

[azure topaz]

i have every form of ram in my house at this very moment

[frigid blade]

"GPUs"

[frigid blade]

also why does this have a heat sink

[azure topaz]

put them on the wall

[turbid tendon]

Lucky I’ve never had a ddr5 system

[azure topaz]

this is an old callback, old ltt hq had mobos painted white stuck to the walls

it looked great. it was like crown moulding for nerds

do that

[turbid tendon]

The best cpu I’ve ever owned was a 5700 non x

[frigid blade]

is the 9600GT useful for anything

[azure topaz]

no

[frigid blade]

directx10 is the max support for it lol

[turbid tendon]

What’s the difference between the g and the gt?

[azure topaz]

tied between 13900KS and 265K, technically 13900Ks tho

[frigid blade]

im about to beat you

i actually had a 13900ks until i sold it

[azure topaz]

wait until refresh and next gen bro

[frigid blade]

youre getting nova lake?

[azure topaz]

refresh i’m buying top end chip (385K or whatever) and im buying both nvl top end skus

[frigid blade]

get the 52 core one

still cant believe theyre adding another core type

why tf do we need p, e, and lp

[azure topaz]

both

i’m getting both homie

[turbid tendon]

I’m probably am gonna hunt for a good deal for a 5800x3d

[azure topaz]

3 top end skus in 2026

[frigid blade]

why

[azure topaz]

overclock

[frigid blade]

oh

nerd

[turbid tendon]

Set some records

[azure topaz]

NVL is supposed big cache

but 52c obvi don’t have big cache

[frigid blade]

I cant wait for nova lake i want that chunky 52c

[azure topaz]

so there’s going to be 2 chops

[azure topaz]

that r top end

[turbid tendon]

What would you even do with 52 cores

[frigid blade]

i cant believe it turns out upgrading my system turns out cheaper than not

if i sell my old system

that 20% cash back from paypal came in clutch

[azure topaz]

nothing

[rigid fjord]

i do not miss this adapter

[turbid tendon]

I am gonna miss the affordable high end gpu days

[frigid blade]

some of those cards @azure topaz also had ps ports

why

[rigid fjord]

make a keyring out of it

[frigid blade]

whos plugging a keyboard into their graphics card

[turbid tendon]

lol

[rigid fjord]

do you mean svideo instead

[frigid blade]

yah youre right it looks like the ps port tho

[rigid fjord]

4 pin not 6

[frigid blade]

that means 3 outputs? 1->2 + svideo?

[turbid tendon]

Me I did it with my 2080 super when I had it bc my keyboard was c to c and it was my only type c port on my pc

[frigid blade]

why does your gpu have a type c port

[turbid tendon]

For a dead standard

That got killed off

It was originally for vr

[frigid blade]

ah vr

yah that makes sense actually

[turbid tendon]

Yep it was on 20 series gpus

[frigid blade]

we still kinda do that with usb-c dp

[rigid fjord]

essentially 2

[turbid tendon]

Yea but back when that was out it was ahead of its time

[frigid blade]

so how much total does that card do?

its got the first port which is technically 2 in one and then svideo

[azure topaz]

they are styoud

[frigid blade]

its svideo

[rigid fjord]

then depending on the card it's either 2 or 3 ports

[azure topaz]

maybe

[turbid tendon]

The Dell inspiron case attacked me earlier when I was building

[frigid blade]

why didnt you feed it

[azure topaz]

43.6k in r23 is what you need to beat

[turbid tendon]

There’s a lot of jank in that sleeper

There is electrical tape on my gpu so it doesn’t short out

[frigid blade]

is that cpu only?

[azure topaz]

my bad 44k

[azure topaz]

yes

[frigid blade]

well apparntly the 285k is better at those workloads than gaming right?

i should be able to beat that if I OC

[azure topaz]

yes but youll still need to oc it to beat my score

[turbid tendon]

What does this compare to with competition

[frigid blade]

yah

[azure topaz]

almost nothing

[frigid blade]

whats teh base score for it?

[azure topaz]

9950x,7950x i think, 285k, 14900ks are all pretty equal chips in multicore

[azure topaz]

not sure i think people say like 38k

i dont run my hw stock

[frigid blade]

did u push it as far as you can?

or safe

[turbid tendon]

On my first build I got my 2700k to 5.1ghz stable

[azure topaz]

far as i can, that was for a real sub

safe my config got 37.5k

sounds low but thats cause no hyperthreading

[turbid tendon]

I think it’s impressive my chip got that high without crashing

[azure topaz]

yes

looks like i got my 2700K to 5.2ish

[frigid blade]

do you use aio for cpu oc or air cooler?

[azure topaz]

10+ year old thermal paste while doing those runs

[frigid blade]

oc my am2 board

[azure topaz]

era appropriate rig

[turbid tendon]

Yes I dragged it it was interesting until I killed part of my ram controller in my motherboard but that motherboard was 5 bucks fixed it was a parts board had a currupted bios but saved it just to murder it with 5.1ghz

[azure topaz]

yah

[turbid tendon]

Clean asf mine had a 960 in jt that was my first gtx card it was a rog strix 960 4gb

[turbid tendon]

How I wasn’t able to achieve that

My cooling I had at that time was more than enough it was a noctua cooler

[errant fulcrum]

should i keep this setting turned on? it makes my boot time way faster

[turbid tendon]

It makes it a harder to get in the bios bc sometimes it outright skips the boot key option it just depends

[errant fulcrum]

im a light user and i dont really open up the bios often and even if i wanted to u can go to it using the windows page right? hold shift and restart uefi bla bla bla

im worried about system corruption, should i be worried about that?

[turbid tendon]

It’ll be better if done in bios if you ever need to get back to bios again just take out the CMOs battery and it’ll reset the settings

[turbid tendon]

No

[errant fulcrum]

okayy thanks

[turbid tendon]

No problem

I got this old school monitor for free today

I think I’m gonna use it for my optiplex 3050
Micro

[empty quartz]

Ngl

[turbid tendon]

And use it for old games it only has vga I’ve only seen this monitor with a non detachable vga csble

[empty quartz]

Apple did the right thing with magsafe 3

[turbid tendon]

Nice I don’t think my phone has that I got the 16 regular

[sonic ridge]

without a good gpu and cpu, i won't be able to complete my project 😭

[turbid tendon]

What are you tryna do???

[empty quartz]

Its almost like magsafe 3 is for laptops

[sonic ridge]

im workin on a couple projects tbh

[turbid tendon]

What cpu will be good to pair with my 1080ti

[empty quartz]

A new gpu

[turbid tendon]

Too expensive don’t want

Most I’d go up to is back to 30 series

[rigid fjord]

anything up to an r9/i9

[turbid tendon]

I want an era appropriate cpu

[sonic ridge]

a python package for localized action checks, a cybersec lab linked over an isolated wireless WAN with pfSense routers

[rigid fjord]

you'd better be looking at a 3080 or better then if you're going to do that

[empty quartz]

Do people not realize magsafe was on laptops first

[turbid tendon]

I got a rx5700 I’ll be fine

[rigid fjord]

probably not

[sonic ridge]

my current laptop (Ryzen 5, 8 gb ddr 4 (a slot isn't workin), igpu (512mb)) can't handle the lab 💀

[turbid tendon]

I just got my 1080ti in no pc and I’m tryna build a second rig

For Linux

[rigid fjord]

you do realise a 1080ti is actually better than that

[empty quartz]

Its been around for almost 20 years 😭

[sonic ridge]

i could cook shi on my laptop when i fire up the lab

[turbid tendon]

In raw horse power no

In modern drivers yes and drivers that helps

[rigid fjord]

in raw horse power, yes

[turbid tendon]

Absolutely not

[rigid fjord]

a 3060 is equal to it

[turbid tendon]

2060

To rx5700

[rigid fjord]

and an rx 5700, ios about equal to an rx6600, which is weaker than a 3060

[empty quartz]

January 10th 2026 is magsafe’s 20th anniversary… thank you apple for making a charger that doesnt launch your laptop off a desk if you trip.

[rigid fjord]

no, 2060 super, which is also equal to a 3060, a 2060 is about as equal to a 1080

[turbid tendon]

The 1080ti is older but it was a high end gpu in 2017 or what ever year tis came out the rx 5700 doesn’t best this card

It literally has 11gbs of vram

The 1080ti

[rigid fjord]

yes, and?

[empty quartz]

More vram ≠ better @turbid tendon

[turbid tendon]

And these cards are only 2 years apart there is not a big gap for the rx5700 to be better than the 1080ti

[rigid fjord]

still performance wise, a 1080ti has the same performance level as a 3060, the only thing it doesn't have dlss3 or newer

[turbid tendon]

Lossless scaling and a p1000 for a decoder gpu

[sonic ridge]

it's true when the available vram is 496 mb ;-;

[sour storm]

1050ti is still good

[brave brook]

and power usage differnce

[turbid tendon]

Problem solved

[empty quartz]

@turbid tendon the 1080ti doesn’t even have proper dx12

[empty quartz]

Nice joke

[brave brook]

the real issue with 1080Ti is that october driver was the last, so newer games will slowly start breaking on it

[random gyro]

any gpu at all is good

[turbid tendon]

It is if your on a budget it does your esports

[turbid tendon]

Yep sadly lossless scaling won’t save it in a few more years

[empty quartz]

You can get something like an rog ally which has an igpu that puts the 1050ti to shame

[rigid fjord]

not really, to have any performance improvements, over a 1080ti, you'd want a 3080 or better, considering a 3080 is 45-50% more performant over a 1080ti, while a 3090 is 50-75% more performant over a 1080ti

[turbid tendon]

I already got one

[azure topaz]

each chip has its own maxes

[turbid tendon]

I know it’s silicon lottery

[azure topaz]

its oc time

[jovial swan]

hello. if i wanna run a home server for modded minecraft and other games what would suffice?. im finally getting 1 gigabit internet tomorrow so my dream of running a server is back. but idk what the minimum spec are for running modpacks like all the mods and craftoria for minecraft

[rigid fjord]

tbf, that's technically any laptop with an r7 7840/8840/8845 cpu inside

[sour storm]

You say joke i say it has been carfyung me through eldenring and cyberpunk 2077 at med-high graphics granted at 30 fps

[turbid tendon]

Get a 6c 12t Xeon old workstation and load it with slot of ram

[empty quartz]

720p 30*

[jovial swan]

ill look for that thanks

[turbid tendon]

No problem

[rigid fjord]

no

[sour storm]

Nah 900

[sour storm]

Atleast for red dead

[empty quartz]

not helping your case

[simple dagger]

Pretty useless gimmic but when it costs less than a bottle of coke, why not get a usb c cable with a screen lol

[turbid tendon]

Make sure you get a good amount of ram for it as a server

[jovial swan]

HP, Z240 Pro workstation, 3.2 Ghz, 8 GB ram, 500 GB harddisk, Perfekt, Professionel HP Workstation med Intel Xeon E3-1225 v5 _at_3.70Ghz CPU (Server CPU) , 8GB ram. 500GB Business Critical harddisk.

is this enough? if i buy more ram ofc

[rigid fjord]

i'd look at someones old build being sold on ebay, something around the equivalence of an r5 3600 instead

[sour storm]

And you are proving yourself very dislikeable

[turbid tendon]

No this machine will struggle

[azure topaz]

interesting, my KVM shows up as a boot device, how do i use this

[turbid tendon]

That cpu is 4c 4t

[rigid fjord]

@jovial swan

[azure topaz]

hm okie

[random gyro]

1050ti is still good for some lighter games and competitive titles

[empty quartz]

My phone’s soc is almost as fast as the 1050ti as it pulls a max of 20W

[turbid tendon]

And if you wanna have other people on it it be better to have a beefier cpu so it can handle multiple renders at once

[jovial swan]

Intel Xeon E5-1620 v2 would this work`?

[azure topaz]

no

ivy bridge

if its a xeon it has to have a V# greater than 2

[jovial swan]

im in northern europe. id rather not buy cross atlantic

[empty quartz]

@jovial swan if you want a mc server, you want decent single core performance

[rigid fjord]

where exactly? i could probably find one closer to you

[azure topaz]

aka like 7th gen or better really

find a dell optiplex or hp or lenovo machine with a 7700 or something

[sour storm]

Ah a dane, give me your pc parts

[jovial swan]

western denmark.

[azure topaz]

broadwell is even not great (5th gen v4 cpus)

[empty quartz]

Do not diss my beloved broadwell

[jovial swan]

my home pc? ryzen 7 7700, rtx 4070. 32 gb ram.

[azure topaz]

i am dissing it because it is slow

[sour storm]

Yeah taking the cpu, sorry

[empty quartz]

6950x is still decent

[ancient shale]

wawdws weR

[jovial swan]

[azure topaz]

i guess?

but who has a 6950x and not just a 1650 v4 or something in a normal server board

[sour storm]

https://tenor.com/view/scary-meme-dank-emoji-creepy-gif-17128309

[azure topaz]

my 2690 V4's were holding me back server hosting mc modpacks

[sour storm]

Need me a am5 cpu and prices in finland are awfull

[jovial swan]

someones selling this for 210 USD
Mac Pro 5.1

2x CPU Intel Xeon X5675 3.06GHz 6 Cores 12 Threads 12Mb cache hver! så 12kerner 24 tråde 3,46GHz

6x16GB RAM 96GB i alt bedste konfiguration i forhold til CPU.

2 x 240GB SSD den ene i lækker 3,5” kasse.

Sapphire RX580 8 GB grafikkort

Og det originale ATI HD5770 1GB

[rigid fjord]

https://www.ebay.nl/itm/205605319864 could grab this from the netherlands then

[empty quartz]

@azure topaz Speaking of broadwell, do i
A: get a 2679 v4/2699a V4
B: upgrade my workstation to x299 and try to get something like a 10980xe

[jovial swan]

would a mac pro work?

[turbid tendon]

I’ll find you a decent 6c 12t modernish Xeon

[azure topaz]

x299 sounds not good

[azure topaz]

not this mac pro lol

[turbid tendon]

For a decent price

[jovial swan]

too old? i mean it has 96 GB ram

[azure topaz]

way too old

[jovial swan]

for 210 USD

[empty quartz]

Horrible price

[sour storm]

Got a xeon 5560 and imma be fr that thing slaps

[rigid fjord]

wouldn't be as good as a 10400f or 3600 tbh

[azure topaz]

its older than core i series itself, it doesnt even have a generation that we use

well ig its 1st gen core i, my bad

[sour storm]

Bro has never heard of nordic tax

[jovial swan]

really? i thought they were very sought after

[azure topaz]

do you knoww what generation we're on?

[empty quartz]

They suck ass

[turbid tendon]

https://ebay.us/m/qlZJT3

[azure topaz]

no its a 20 year old mac pro, thats a terrible price

[turbid tendon]

Not to bad for what it is

[azure topaz]

thats terrible

i got my t5810 for 80$

[jovial swan]

i use DBA.dk mainly

[empty quartz]

Im saying this as someone who owns one

[jovial swan]

oh fack its 20 years old?

[turbid tendon]

Well find this tower on there

[azure topaz]

please google

[sour storm]

Yeaaah but like atleast here where im from you are guaranteed to pay like atleast 20% more than you normally would

[jovial swan]

https://www.dba.dk/recommerce/forsale/item/16215255

[empty quartz]

The 5,1 is not worth it for much at all other than as like a storage server

[azure topaz]

20% of 20$ is 4$

[worthy gyro]

hello, hoping someone can help me. bought the MSI MAG 271QPX QD-OLED E2 monitor last week and it has been randomly shutting of. At the start it was not that much and only on my browser. but now it has been happing in games to. Mostly when the game displays bright images. Does anyone know why this happens and or how to fix this?

[azure topaz]

20 + 4$ =/= 225

[rigid fjord]

actually worser than the r5 3600 build

[turbid tendon]

Get this one I was just using this as a start for you to build the server

[azure topaz]

its bad

[sour storm]

Ew dollars

[jovial swan]

https://www.dba.dk/recommerce/forsale/item/14906107?ci=4

[sinful cobalt]

trash

[azure topaz]

getting somewhere!

[turbid tendon]

I am not talking about it for me

It’s for a Minecraft server

[azure topaz]

bro that is still bad

[jovial swan]

its got a xeon W series

[empty quartz]

Again still worse

[sour storm]

Theneither the seller doesnt know a thing bout computers or is yrying to fool someone

[azure topaz]

yeah, i think 9th or 10th gen, so its pretty good

[rigid fjord]

no, but you're suggesting a significantly worser performing cpu to the dude

[jovial swan]

https://www.dba.dk/recommerce/forsale/item/5603830

[turbid tendon]

I know for a fact you can find these machines cheaper

[azure topaz]

the other one is 1500 kr get that

[restive mountain]

One of the coolest things I currently own

[azure topaz]

i paid 80$ for mine which is resaonable

[empty quartz]

For a mc server, you dont want slow cores

[azure topaz]

please realise that the T5810 is 10 years old

[sour storm]

Is a Xeon X5560 good?

[azure topaz]

there is no X series xeon that is good

[empty quartz]

Broadwell xeons have slow cores

[jovial swan]

i used to own a ATI 4950 single blower. man i miss that card. it was lowkey cool looking

[turbid tendon]

Bro I was running dual xeons on sandy bridge for a Minecraft server it handled it great actually

[azure topaz]

@jovial swan google the release dates of whatever PC youre buying at bare minimum, if its from 2014 or older you probably dont want it, capice?

[jovial swan]

https://www.dba.dk/recommerce/forsale/item/13152450 i found a trashcan lmfao

[azure topaz]

until you run big mod packs and it kills itself like my 2690 V4 server did

[rigid fjord]

https://www.dba.dk/recommerce/forsale/item/16065103?ci=4 cheaper with a better performing cpu

[jovial swan]

aight

[azure topaz]

he sent one for 1500 kr with a W2125 he should buy that

its just a good deal in general

[sour storm]

Im gonna go through my pc specs today to look through

[empty quartz]

I still gotta try to bclk my 2695v4

[turbid tendon]

To be real just find a cheap Ryzen build to be real

[azure topaz]

this is a genuine good price

[sour storm]

Been pretty good for a free pc

[empty quartz]

Finally

[azure topaz]

it has a good gpu it has an insane amounts of ram and a good cpu

the gpu isnt needed but cool for a 170$ computer

[restive mountain]

Great times I couldn't experience myself, nowadays it's too universal :'(

[empty quartz]

@azure topaz btw, why not x299?

[turbid tendon]

But I got epyc access so I don’t care for all these small server parts

[azure topaz]

the ram is awesome for minecraft and general home serving

[jovial swan]

aight. ill look into that one. gotta wait for paycheck though. i only have 2 eurs in my bank rn lmao

[azure topaz]

okie sounds good shawty

[azure topaz]

overpriced

[sour storm]

Can someone let me steal their am5 cpu 👉 👈

[azure topaz]

theres no good chips to consider, the only thing kinda worth it is a 7940x

[turbid tendon]

So my servers are smooth with the 32c epyc

[azure topaz]

7980XE's are as expensive as 10980XE's and both are more than double what id actually want to pay

[rigid fjord]

fair enough, though 50kr cheaper on the r5 3600 build

[jovial swan]

oh shit i didnt realise it came with 128 gb ram

[frigid blade]

10980

[empty quartz]

I can get an asus ws x299 sage + cpu, ram, and cooler for like $200 cad

[azure topaz]

yes bro it is a great deal

[turbid tendon]

Used to have 1pb of storage on this

[azure topaz]

okay, or something cometlake for the same price

[sour storm]

Fish! Use the ifv to ram through buildings btw.

[azure topaz]

10700K config will probably end up being better in a home serving scenario

[turbid tendon]

It has a Rtx a4000 non ada

[jovial swan]

huh? warthunder??

[empty quartz]

Its not a gaming system or a server

[azure topaz]

i have this cards older brother

[jovial swan]

oh battlefield

[azure topaz]

ok then a modern computer lol

[jovial swan]

my brain is fried lmfao

[golden sage]

https://youtube.com/shorts/Y9oGk3t4-yM?si=-loKRVVuEORK23NP is he finally not speakin rubbish gang?

[turbid tendon]

Mine is paired with a epyc cpu across the way

[sour storm]

Yeah, destroyed all the buildinfs around A in the new map, works well to deny any attcaks

[empty quartz]

Its a workstation for all my 4k120 footage and 4k30 prores footage, and photo editing

[turbid tendon]

Epyc cpu goes brrrrrr

[empty quartz]

No

[azure topaz]

is your daily machine not capable of this

[empty quartz]

Yes and no

[golden sage]

oh, how come dawg

[azure topaz]

if its not rethink buying another machine to do that unless its replacing your daily

[empty quartz]

Its ztt

He suffers from a sever lack of mental capacity

[azure topaz]

your money is better spent on your already modern computer

i assure you any 12th or 13th gen cpu worth half a fuck is going to be faster than x299

[turbid tendon]

@jovial swan To be real just get like a 3600 if you wanna do more server compute I’d get a 3700x max get 64gbs ddr4 and some storage and a gpu for display to configure bios

[azure topaz]

it is very cool however x299 doesnt make too much sense

[jovial swan]

yeah i know lol. you wanna play?

[empty quartz]

Almost no modern motherboards have even half the sata or i/o my workstation needs

[azure topaz]

what could that even mean

[sour storm]

Sure just gotta go bavk home

[azure topaz]

what are you doing on your workstation that needs a bunch of io and sata

do you not have a nas/home server meant to hold said media

[empty quartz]

For example both my b760 and z790 have 4 fucking sata ports

[jovial swan]

yeah but the z4 has a shit ton of ram. might look into getting that one if it isnt sold too quickly

[azure topaz]

yeah and thats a shit ton of storage in reality

[empty quartz]

Networking isnt fast enough to edit off of

[azure topaz]

a pcie card to add a million more is also not that mjuch

[azure topaz]

17$ 2.5gbit card

[turbid tendon]

Max it does on am4 iirc is 128gb

[empty quartz]

I live in the basement, nas is on the upper floor

[azure topaz]

what does this have to do with me

plug them both into a switch

[empty quartz]

Either way i already have a workstation

[turbid tendon]

Quote me if I’m wrong on this one

[azure topaz]

okay so upgrade the workstation to be a competent nas then spend money on your real computer

[frigid blade]

the fuck is this???

[azure topaz]

because having 3 pcs when none of them are particularly faster than the other kinda blows

[frigid blade]

max 1080p30 from the onboard hdmi?

[turbid tendon]

Good question sounds like a sad time

[azure topaz]

it says front HDMI port

i think its a passthrough port for like an internal screen

[empty quartz]

My workstation has 256gb of ddr4, 2695v4, arc b580, and 14tb of storage (soon to be more)

[frigid blade]

ohhhhh

that makes more sense

[azure topaz]

rear io is definitely not called "front" io so wwouldnt make sense being a back port

[turbid tendon]

My server is sad it’s my dell optiplex 3050 micro with a i7 7700 and 8gbs of ram

[frigid blade]

well i ended up with this lane config

x16 x4 x4

[azure topaz]

why not move its storage to the nas/use it as a nas and just do everything off your desktop?

[empty quartz]

Workstation is around 2x faster for the tasks that i built it for compared to my main

[azure topaz]

that doesnt make any sense unless you have a 12100

[empty quartz]

13500

[azure topaz]

the ram capacity i could see being and issue but anything else no, but the ram can also be fixed

[empty quartz]

Its moreso the gpu and ram

[frigid blade]

what do you call multi-use servers?

[empty quartz]

Gpu is 2x faster in rendering

[azure topaz]

youre telling me your workstation has a faster gpu than your daily

[frigid blade]

like a bunch of stuff in one, NAS, VMs, etc?

[empty quartz]

In some ways

[azure topaz]

"homelab"

[azure topaz]

amd shit encoding moment or something

[frigid blade]

ok well then this build will be my homelab

[empty quartz]

Yeah

[azure topaz]

man if only you spent 200 cad more on an nvidia card

[empty quartz]

My b580 is 2x faster than my 6800

[frigid blade]

now its 3am for floppa

[empty quartz]

In blender

[azure topaz]

and my 5070ti shit stomps both combined

[empty quartz]

And costs more than 2x my b580

[azure topaz]

but combine b580 and 6800 costs

are you seeing what im getting at here

[frigid blade]

its also twice as fast

[empty quartz]

How much was your 5070ti

[azure topaz]

consolidating your pcs is probably going to make you better off

[turbid tendon]

You make a valid point here

[azure topaz]

this is besides the point bro do you not see what im getting at 😭

[empty quartz]

My b580 and 6800 cost 820 cad total

[azure topaz]

my 5070ti was 700

yours was cad but i think the speed deficit still makes up for that lol

[turbid tendon]

The 5070 ti is around that price if not cheaper

[azure topaz]

regardless my point is that spending money across 4 computers is going to make you end up with 4 overall slower computers than if you were to just spend on 2

[empty quartz]

Nah

[turbid tendon]

Ether way if I’m doing rendering I just get 3 1080tis

[empty quartz]

I also have more uses for my workstation, but im waiting to find a thunderbolt card

[azure topaz]

im more of a 16 x 750Ti kinda guy myself

[empty quartz]

Too slow

[azure topaz]

yeah but for 63 cents each

think of the value

[empty quartz]

Im more of a 32 x gt 710 kinda guy

[turbid tendon]

You have gave me an idea 16x 1080tis

[frigid blade]

i saw a 1080ti for $50 on fbmp i still regret not buying it

[empty quartz]

Probably came with a stab wound and no more wallet

[turbid tendon]

That’s a steal as long as it’s not actifacting and works if it’s over heating that’s an easy fix

[empty quartz]

I still gotta repair my 2080ti to get it back in service for my workstation

[azure topaz]

i could technically use my RTX 4000 but i have no need to

[turbid tendon]

I think I’d just do 20x gt 630s

[frigid blade]

nah it was fine there was a video of benchmark

[azure topaz]

p620 is almost there, just needs a lil more ram

[empty quartz]

The only spare card i had (that was slightly competent) was a gtx 970

[frigid blade]

i think they were just cross-listing because no normal fbmp person puts benchmarks

[turbid tendon]

Damn I’ve also seen 1070s in my area go for 40 usd

[azure topaz]

wow gpus going for the price they should

[turbid tendon]

Sometimes even cheaper

[azure topaz]

next you guys are going to regret not buying 20$ rx 570s

[turbid tendon]

Yep

[frigid blade]

the price they should is not the same as the price they are valued at

[azure topaz]

i would have to be paid 20$ to take another RX 570

[azure topaz]

40-60$ is a common af price for GTX 1070s i will not lie

[empty quartz]

I dont regret buying a couple $12.50 cad rx 570’s even though 1 blew up

[azure topaz]

my homie paid 60$ for his 3 years ago 😭

[frigid blade]

was talking about the 1080ti

[azure topaz]

yeah i mean that is better indeed

however 50$ for a near 10 year old card puts it into more perspective

[frigid blade]

i wouldnt buy it to use it lol

[empty quartz]

@azure topaz guess how much i got my 2080ti for

[azure topaz]

no but some people would and some people would also say that its an amazing price

but in reality its a price and it really isnt worth that much more

[turbid tendon]

Not at the beginning of the year and also I did move so there’s a different market up here ppl tryna sell a 2060 build up here for 1000 just for the tower and a 3700x

[turbid tendon]

This is diabolical

[empty quartz]

Warshipped

[frigid blade]

@azure topaz how much you think i can sell my rig for after this upgrade?

[azure topaz]

its still there forme

[frigid blade]

if i was to sell

[dreamy aspen]

dayum, a great price

[azure topaz]

everything but gpu and mem right? idk

[turbid tendon]

What is your specs

[dreamy aspen]

buy until it's still available dude

[azure topaz]

13700K rig right or something

[empty quartz]

Not for me :(

[frigid blade]

13900kf, z790-c no gpu mem or ssd

[azure topaz]

i def did get wwarshipped but its weird its still on my client

[frigid blade]

has an aio also

[azure topaz]

idk maybe 600$? seems reasonable

[empty quartz]

Whats your guess in usd

[azure topaz]

maybe 500

[azure topaz]

32 usd

[frigid blade]

fire thats what i was thinking $500-600

[turbid tendon]

I’d say 475

[empty quartz]

35 usd

[azure topaz]

nice

[little quail]

Could be worse with how many GTX 750 having builds i have seen at that price point

[empty quartz]

It works’ish

[azure topaz]

ish

[frigid blade]

bro my 0 button is fucking broken on my laptop

[solar moat]

😢

[frigid blade]

its so annoying

[empty quartz]

Need to replace the vram

[turbid tendon]

700 for a i5 6600 and a gt 1030

I’m not done

[novel grove]

Ram bsod? Hmm, never heard of that before

[empty quartz]

But still cant complain since its a partially working 2080ti

[little quail]

And i also have seen Trashcan Macs being advertised as high end Gaming PCs

[turbid tendon]

That pc should be no more than 150 USD on a good day

[cloud solstice]

mobo noob here, is this Asus B650E MAX GAMING WIFI a good option for ryzen 7 9800x3d?

[novel grove]

Sure i heard of bsod's, but not ram bsod

[frigid blade]

what if i just sold my entire rig entirely, cuz i get bored of gaming of something, 4090, 285k, 192 gb ddr5 6800 cl34, aio, Z890 GAMING X WIFI7

I wanna get like $3.5k out of it at least

[empty quartz]

It can at least output to a display

(Old monitors before i upgraded)

[frigid blade]

train your eyes to ignore the issues and the issues dissapear

[azure topaz]

youre just mad i can do this

[frigid blade]

I NEED THIS

[empty quartz]

Nuh uh

[turbid tendon]

Hmm idk that thing is fading out of existence

[frigid blade]

i need a kvm so bad

[little quail]

Issues are just thorny chances

[frigid blade]

but i dont know anything about them, i dont want china spying on me

[azure topaz]

its like 30-60$

or diy for basically the same price lol

[frigid blade]

or are you not supposed to open ports for access to them?

[azure topaz]

spying on your ram timings

[turbid tendon]

How are you remoting in your bios this isn’t server grade?

[frigid blade]

my whole pc no?

[azure topaz]

this one has tailscale integration for VPN

[frigid blade]

nanokvm

[azure topaz]

you do know you can unplug it right

[frigid blade]

then whats the point of it if i have to unplug it

[azure topaz]

you would want to unplug at least the video for daily use on your pc

[turbid tendon]

Imma need to try this

[empty quartz]

Would you actually complain if you got a 2080ti for $35 usd?

[rigid fjord]

connecting them via one of those b150/b250 bitcoin boards and trying a run?

[frigid blade]

is there authentication @azure topaz ?

[turbid tendon]

Yes bc I can get an actual working 100 procent 1070 for that that won’t die

[azure topaz]

yes password, its HTTPS, etc

[frigid blade]

ok then maybe i can do it with my cloudflare domain

[turbid tendon]

I’ve actually managed to get one of those for free

[azure topaz]

you dont need to bro

[turbid tendon]

2080ti

[frigid blade]

im not trying to remember my public ip

[azure topaz]

nano kvm on amazon, its 50$ and has tailscale integration

do you know what tailscale is? google it

[turbid tendon]

I traded my old ps4 and a iPhone for it

[azure topaz]

youll be blown away its sick

[frigid blade]

yes i do

[turbid tendon]

And a 1050ti

[empty quartz]

So it wasnt free

[azure topaz]

ok do you see what im getting at here

[frigid blade]

i used it to bypass port forwarding for my sunshine/moonlight systems way back when

[azure topaz]

its secure w/no external domain

[turbid tendon]

The ps4 was 100 percent free I got it as parts and fixed it and same with the iPhone

[azure topaz]

all you do is connect to the tail net and put the KVM "local" IP in

[turbid tendon]

So yes free

[empty quartz]

Free means you dont have to give anything

[frigid blade]

so its a vpn?

[azure topaz]

its integrated like for real its not a jank workaround

[azure topaz]

yes sir

[frigid blade]

oh thats cool i thought you meant you had to do extra stuff to use tailscale

[azure topaz]

nah

[frigid blade]

thats how it is with a lot of stuff

[azure topaz]

install on whatever youre using
login
connected to whatever else youre logged in and connected on

[frigid blade]

i used to use RadminVPN for bypassing port forwarding for coop games with friends

[turbid tendon]

I don’t consider that bc who in there right mind wants a ps4 when I can build machines that willl walk Around it when I say free I mean I didn’t pay cash for it

[azure topaz]

nano kvm can stay connected forever so

always work

you can also apparently boot off it

[empty quartz]

@azure topaz nuh uh, i unplugged it :3

[azure topaz]

it has a 32GB sd card built in

[frigid blade]

why does it say theyre $3 on aliexpress?

[azure topaz]

but you cant upload to the SD card over the net so to me its kinda useless

but you can put like a w11 iso on it and always have a bootable device whenever you plugin your KVM

avoiding getting a windows USB ig

[turbid tendon]

My best rig was my Ryzen 9 3900x rig 32gbs ddr4 and Rtx 3080

[empty quartz]

@azure topaz btw, go the fuck to sleep

[azure topaz]

im chillin

[frigid blade]

oh its stupid the um google look of aliexpress shows the cheapest option which is just the case

[turbid tendon]

Sadly I don’t got it anymore

[azure topaz]

gonna do some basic am4 oc stuff tonigth with my bdie

[empty quartz]

Its 3:35am

[frigid blade]

thats what i was saying bro like 15 minutes ago

[azure topaz]

https://www.amazon.com/NanoKVM-PCIe-Control-Operations-Maintenance-Development/dp/B0DQ4V8JD5/ @frigid blade

[frigid blade]

dudes gotta sleep

thats the one you have?

[azure topaz]

i love it its so small and cute

[azure topaz]

yes

[frigid blade]

oh shit its a pcie card?

[azure topaz]

yes

[frigid blade]

but then where does my HBA go

[azure topaz]

can be used without being plugged into pcie slot

[empty quartz]

Hes being worse than me when im locked in repairing shit

[azure topaz]

pcie is only for power, nothing else

[frigid blade]

so can you power using something else?

[azure topaz]

yes

[random gyro]

why does it have an hdmi what

[frigid blade]

like extra USB header on board

[azure topaz]

USB C power in

[azure topaz]

google IP kvm and come back

[azure topaz]

can remotely turn off and on system

[frigid blade]

i wish it was more hidden

[azure topaz]

can remotely cmos clear if you are not stupid

[azure topaz]

get a not pcie version then

[frigid blade]

like the ports on the inside and the bracket flat

[frigid blade]

oh yah the cube ones

[azure topaz]

look up GLinet comet

[frigid blade]

why is there a poe version

[azure topaz]

you need a separate thing for ATX control (power on, reset, etc) but i think its like 20$ and its overall a more pretty implement

[azure topaz]

no need for power/internet being separate

i have the POE version i dont have any poe switches tho lol

https://www.amazon.com/GL-iNet-GL-RM1-Internet-Tailscale-Keyboard/dp/B0F21SQ4S8/

also supports tailscale

[frigid blade]

no gigabit on it

[azure topaz]

what does it need gigabit for

spoiler, nothing

[frigid blade]

high resolution and frame rate

[azure topaz]

brother youre not doing more than 4k 60 thru the net

most of them are 4k 30 anyways

[frigid blade]

you can tho

[azure topaz]

you can but thats like actual computer level tasks

[frigid blade]

:P

[azure topaz]

not tiny little risc v computer wwith DDR3

powered by 10w of USB C

[frigid blade]

skill issue

im so cooked i woke up at 4 am after i took a nap at 9 pm

[azure topaz]

yes this is why my original implement wwas just a whole computer

[frigid blade]

i cant sleep

[azure topaz]

wwith an hdmi capture card and usb to hid emulator

23$ parts cost cause of course i had the computer

[frigid blade]

mini pc

[azure topaz]

yep

[frigid blade]

n100 can do 4k60

[azure topaz]

limited by capture card

[frigid blade]

but its pretty shite i wouldnt do it unless you can get it sub $100

[azure topaz]

4k 60 sure but you cant do higher

[frigid blade]

well, maybe, its dual 4k60

[azure topaz]

most capture cards that the software i used supported were USB (all of them were)

idk if youre doing >4k 60 over usb

[frigid blade]

youd need to find a specific card thats made for you loll

[orchid sinew]

Is the server language german

[azure topaz]

yikes

[frigid blade]

yah i was looking rn they do exist

[azure topaz]

looking at $100 for just the capture card

[frigid blade]

thats more than the pc

[azure topaz]

yah

hurray

[frigid blade]

at one point i was looking at HDMI + KBM over Ethernet

its a cool concept but Gaming VMs with Mini PC to stream is better

[rigid fjord]

pikvm

[frigid blade]

I love that I can partition the GPU to VMs now I can spin up a bunch of VMs for LAN parties

i already tested the 4090 can handle 2 games running 1440p 144hz just fine

[azure topaz]

too expensive

rather nano KVM or any other prebuilt option

pikvm is as expensive if not more expensive

while somehow being more annoying

[frigid blade]

YIPEE

is newegg a bad site for PC parts? I remember there was a video about its issues

[azure topaz]

dedicated IP kvms never had any reason to get expensive so once the pikvm existed the market flooded with low cost ip kvms

[frigid blade]

i heard about people getting returns as "new" parts

[rigid fjord]

$40-45 tbh if you do it with a ras pi zero 2w

[azure topaz]

vs the same price as buying a nanokvm

[azure topaz]

yeah this does happen idk how common it is

seen it really only with motherboards

[frigid blade]

it better not happen to me

bro i saw someone order RAM off of amazon, take off the plastic cover, put some old kits in their place, and return it

[azure topaz]

lmfao yeah

[frigid blade]

and then im gonna end up with the fucking DDR RAM when I order

[turbid tendon]

I ain’t gonna lie I got this ally for a steal 300 usd

[frigid blade]

put a cover on the mattress

[turbid tendon]

It came with the case too

[frigid blade]

rahhhhhh

[turbid tendon]

It’s in wash right now

[frigid blade]

good, youre not weird

[grizzled frost]

Understandable.

[azure topaz]

better be

idk in the wash long enough for a pet claw to get on it

[grizzled frost]

whatever low you may fall to, you should always have sheets on your mattress

[frigid blade]

theres been some interesting pictures sent in this server of people where the stuff out of focus is kinda crazy

[turbid tendon]

lol it is but the rog ally tho it isn’t the extreme but still ight

[azure topaz]

oh thats just your actual toenail or something oh lord

[grizzled frost]

EW IT IS

[rigid fjord]

is that one of those matresses you find on a divan bed?

[grizzled frost]

that’s actually a nasty ass toe nail

i’m repulsed to a degree words can’t describe

[frigid blade]

you guys are gonna make him cry 😭

[little quail]

Man how i wish that i could afford making good use of the 5 gigabit NIC Msi decided to put into my Motherboard.

[rigid fjord]

raaahhh discord

[frigid blade]

bros getting flamed for his toe nail about a photo of the ally

[grizzled frost]

spill no tears for a toe nail

[frigid blade]

ngl looks like cardboard not toe nail

[grizzled frost]

my toe hurts, i stubbed it last night and now it’s bruised

[rigid fjord]

tbf though, i'm paying more that that for doing pikvm, mainly because i want to add ups

[frigid blade]

give them the benefit of the doubt

[grizzled frost]

there is no doubt, that is a toe nail

[azure topaz]

he mathed it out

we must test it stock

[turbid tendon]

Its not even mine I don’t even be at the house I share this room

[frigid blade]

why does this resolution look wonky

[azure topaz]

it is!

[turbid tendon]

23 hours of the day I’m not home

[azure topaz]

no drivers on the os lol

[frigid blade]

you see I got an eye for that shit

[turbid tendon]

This room is only here for my pc parts

[frigid blade]

master graphics eyeballs

[frigid blade]

its ok you dont have to defend yourself we're gonna forget in 5 minutes

[azure topaz]

yes

[frigid blade]

definitely made my day though I was trying not to burst out laughing at 6 am

[azure topaz]

toenail spotted, destroy

[turbid tendon]

Idek it’s just a mattress that I use to lay my parts on

[frigid blade]

tf is a divan bed

WAIT

[little quail]

Toenail still better than a whole foot

[frigid blade]

I need an opinion from you guys

[turbid tendon]

When I do sleep I sleep on the couch bc there is no heat in my room rn

[azure topaz]

must be a bed you clip toenails on

[frigid blade]

Mattress on the floor, is that weird

I dont have a frame or anything

[turbid tendon]

Nah tbr idfk who’s that was bc I cut mine in the bathroom like I said this room is a shared room

I live with multiple ppl

This just the tech room

[kindred halo]

Why do so many cases have the rear cable management area so shallow that I need to squish the 24pin cable for it to fit

[little quail]

Because they hate you

[kindred halo]

Checks out

[azure topaz]

because its wires

[little quail]

And only you

[turbid tendon]

You think your cable management is bad you should see mine

In my sleeper

[little quail]

What is cable management?

[kindred halo]

Yeah but like
Atleast let the 24 pin breath dawg

[frigid blade]

See it’s like on the floor

It saves me money on the frame

I can use that money for pc parts

[azure topaz]

give me the ibuypower

[frigid blade]

How did you see that

[azure topaz]

no if ands or buts

[azure topaz]

i saw 16 pixels in a blob roughly the shape of the logo

[little quail]

I have more issue with how its often very annoying to put in the motherboard screw nearest the cpu power port

[frigid blade]

It has a 1060 3GB and 11th gen Intel or something but the motherboard socket pins are fucked

[frigid blade]

Its my first pc

[azure topaz]

oh ok i guess you can keep it

[frigid blade]

Huh

[azure topaz]

only cause its your first one

[frigid blade]

Oh I don’t want it I’ve been looking for someone to take it

But I wanted to see it running again before I gave it away

[turbid tendon]

How’s the cable management in the sleeper I think I did a bad job to be real

[azure topaz]

ok id actually take it cause i could use it for a slightly better fileserver but shipping would kill us both

[frigid blade]

The cables are just there

[azure topaz]

id love the psu the gpu might be useful to jellyfin id idk shoot the motherboard behind a shed

[turbid tendon]

I got no where to put them besides shoving them in the 5.5 bay

[frigid blade]

Wait x299 tag? Isn’t that the 10980 XE one?

[turbid tendon]

But I do got a dvd drive in my pc

[azure topaz]

yes, but click on it, just for a cool server tag

[frigid blade]

Yah is private

[turbid tendon]

I got it bc I can

[frigid blade]

Oh I don’t see that

Just says private server

[azure topaz]

ah

is oc homies server

[frigid blade]

Would you take the ibp as payment for OC’ing the 285k and RAM for me if we ever did that

[azure topaz]

probably i like computers

[turbid tendon]

How would you rate my sleeper

[azure topaz]

6 maybe a 7

https://tenor.com/view/ninja-ninjaishyper-low-taper-fade-massive-crazy-gif-13735679314385451792

[frigid blade]

I didn’t even buy the parts or my pc my Jewish friend told me to let him pay for the cash back from his card and stuff

I just Zelle’d him

[azure topaz]

it would be fun

[frigid blade]

It would actually but the shipping bro

Wctually

Wait let me check, you’re SoCal?

[turbid tendon]

My first sleeper was better

[azure topaz]

i do not need the case

[turbid tendon]

That’s the first ever sleeper I did

[azure topaz]

that makes it easier as long as you can consolidate the parts well enough

[frigid blade]

i dont need that shit either

[azure topaz]

throw it away

[frigid blade]

wait

nah nvm

[azure topaz]

i could use the case but it would fuck shipping so hard that it wouldnt be worth it

[frigid blade]

was gonna throw it off of a tall building but i dont think theyd let me
