aseteks stupid ass patent

couldve had prices like these for idk how long

[tawny lava]

How can i improve my cable management

[south arrow]

Pshshsbb she's clean ya goober gg

[cosmic idol]

This has gotta be compliment farming lmao
It looks nice bro 🫶

[craggy cove]

ngl 👀

[nova linden]

it's even weirder than that :

[craggy cove]

i have so many left over components that its easier to build a pc out of them

[tawny lava]

is there a way to do wireless charging through a desk

[craggy cove]

but im missing a gpu

[south arrow]

For phones yeah they got pads of sorts but still a wire to the pad

For this case probs not one that your seeking, that i can think of at least.

[cosmic idol]

Not to mention you usually need to make a cutout in your desk too haha

[formal sonnet]

[south arrow]

Kirashi for the saveee

[cosmic idol]

Desk stuff
Reminds me
I need to get an under-desk mount for both my ups and my pc haha
Then I think I’ll cable manage it properly

[pulsar root]

is forza horizon 5 well optimized?

[vale lotus]

Anyone know good electric screwdrivers?

[vale lotus]

I'd say so

[wheat field]

Tbf the 9070xt also just works. New drivers sucked ass tho

[pulsar root]

I have like an rtx 5060 and I put like extreme settings and it looks incredible and plays at like 80fps avg + Ray tracing

[cosmic idol]

If nvidia don’t cook up something good for a 5000 series refresh
Im gonna get a 9070xt lols

TLDR; I’m getting a 9070xt lmao

[vale lotus]

Sounds pretty optimized to me

[cosmic idol]

Forza’s pretty solid in my experience
What res is that?

[pulsar root]

1440p

[cosmic idol]

Yeah nice

[pulsar root]

Usually if I put ray tracing on it like does poorly

Like Spider-Man

[cosmic idol]

honestly I thought my 4060ti 8gb and my 1440p monitor were gonna be an issue
But it’s honestly been fine for the games I play lol

[pulsar root]

Yeah I’m very happy with my 5060 even though people clown on it for only being 8gb lol

It’s a bit annoying for marvel rivals tho

[wheat field]

Buying an 8gb card in 2025 seems kinda uhhh

[pulsar root]

I bought a prebuilt bruh and it was a good deal

$999 for 5060, 2TB ssd, 32gb ddr5 and intel 7 265

I did think it was weird how a 3060 has more vram then 4060 and 5060

[wheat field]

Is the 5060 GDRR7?

[cosmic idol]

Yes

[wheat field]

Then there ya go

3060 is GDDR6

I think

[clear canyon]

Yes

[pulsar root]

Yes

Dad got a new laptop. It’s prob pretty good.

Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i with a Core Ultra 7 and 32GB RAM for like $930

For context, this is in Norway

[vale lotus]

Kind of a good deal

What condition is it in

[simple dagger]

Brand New

[ancient shale]

Guys if I invested in RAM a few months ago, I could have made like 200% profit with these damn RAM prices

[simple dagger]

Am i allowed to send links? To the website i bought it from?

[vale lotus]

That's an okay deal yeah not a very big discount

[vale lotus]

Fr because of stupid ai centers

[delicate lion]

My pc is randomly rebooting after i changed ram speed from 2400 to 3200(and games crash after a short while)

[ancient shale]

AI lowk hurting every aspect of human life 💔 all so people can generate videos of rabbits jumping on trampolines

[vale lotus]

It's worse than that the videos are more dumb

[brazen glen]

Yeah but non-tech perverts don’t care to learn new things alll the time

[brazen glen]

Is this an official overclock profile or did you do it manually

[ancient shale]

I remember when MLK's family had to contact OpenAI to stop Sora users from making AI videos of him doing stupid shit

[delicate lion]

I choose a profile in ai tweaker, followed some yt tutorial.

D.O.C.P it was called.

[brazen glen]

What is the ram rated for officially

[delicate lion]

3200, im not trying to overclock just use what it's intended for.

[brazen glen]

Hmm, weird. Processor?

[delicate lion]

Currently running a memory diagnostic but no problems so far.

I looked the specs up and i think it supports 3200.

[brazen glen]

Guessing this is a used chip, it absolutely should do 3200 no sweat

[delicate lion]

Yes, well used.

[keen folio]

What do you guys think, is this real? i doubt it

[wheat field]

Change it back

Or just lower the speed until it's stable

[delicate lion]

I could, but it should be able to run 3200 so im trying to figure out what the issue is, it would help with gaming performance.

[wheat field]

It's the ram

"I changed this thing and now PC is unstable"

[ionic peak]

fake

[wheat field]

Occams razor

[brazen glen]

3600s had issues where long term light over voltage was applied with standard VID tables and this degrades the IMC and clocks

[wheat field]

If it's stable at 3000mhz you're going to see very little performance difference

[delicate lion]

Alright.

Many of my games are cpu bottlenecked so this is a bummer, ram speed wouldve helped.

[wheat field]

You have a ryzen 5 3600?

[glass crest]

I don’t run ddu, like I just do the factory reset option in and software when installing new software, it’ll be fine tho?

[delicate lion]

Yeah

[glass crest]

Or is it something that I shouldn’t skip at all

[ancient shale]

what about the a850gl?

[rigid fjord]

what ram exactly?

[wheat field]

You should use DDU

[glass crest]

Factory reset does a bad job?

[delicate lion]

Kingston fury ddr4 2x8gb.

[wheat field]

It's just good PC hygiene imo

No reason not to

[glass crest]

Seems a little complicated

I need to look for a step by step guide

[wheat field]

It's literally clicking like three buttons

it would be pretty shitty to sell a 5600 pc with only one working memory channel... right?

i could get a 5500 new for like 57€

[south arrow]

If disclosed who knows

[craggy cove]

would probably suck to sell

thinking i should just sell it for like 60€?

[south arrow]

Never hurts to try

[craggy cove]

oh right i bought a chinesium b550m and that has only 2 ram slots

i dont have a 1x16gb stick :/

the other board is black which doesnt fit as well

god 5600s are expensive for no reason now

3600x for 40€ maybe

[tawny lava]

Are there any low profile inline microphone boosters the one i have sticks out too much

[random gyro]

i mean in the end, usb is usb, but STILL you should get something thats reliable and tested

[nimble frigate]

Are matte oleds actually terrible like people say? I found an insane deal on an oled but I’ve seen like 50 comments saying matte oleds are awful

[craggy cove]

no way that is up to spec lol

[true stirrup]

Personal preference

[random gyro]

especially for the price lmao

might as well get a better quality cable from a trusted brand like ugreen or anker

[craggy cove]

reviews are probably from a cat toy or something

shits gonna be a 5w usb c to c cable at best

[random gyro]

ive also used vention cables which are pretty good

also wtf is the contrast on that screenshot

Can someone help me out please https://discord.com/channels/375436620578684930/1442660556015145162 if possible

[ivory olive]

Someone is selling this pc for 100 bucks. No clue about the spec.

Ima go for it.

[stark kiln]

Sure

I see a GPU inside

[craggy cove]

suspicious as hell but if its local why not

like why would you buy a pre built and then never even open it to remove the packing foam

but still personally id take the risk

[warm saddle]

Should i install monitor drivers from manufacturer site?

[tawny knoll]

GPU drivers from GPU chip manufacturers site yes

[jaunty apex]

Inb4 gt 730

[warm saddle]

[tawny knoll]

wdym monitor drivers

like the drivers on the monitor itself??

[clever laurel]

what is the best value 32gb ddr5 6000 kit right now in australia?

[brazen glen]

does this computer make you money

[clever laurel]

nope

pure gaming rig

[brazen glen]

are you financially well off and are willing to pay a 300% markup due to a shortage

[clever laurel]

yeap

[plain cypress]

Facebook marketplace

[brazen glen]

anything that's at least ddr5-6000 cl30 will do, pick your poison

[plain cypress]

Or Aussie equivalent

[brazen glen]

have fun paying like a thousand bucks

[clever laurel]

what about c36? is the performance gap that large?

[brazen glen]

or is it like 500 AUD i have no idea how wild it's gotten

[plain cypress]

Ram on Facebook marketplace here: $100-$200

Ram at store: $300-$500

[brazen glen]

either way it's way way way too much

[plain cypress]

The marketplace sellers haven't woken up yet kek

[brazen glen]

cl36 isn't a huge hit

[verbal prawn]

.

[left dove]

fuck off with these receipts you little shit

[brazen glen]

who wants to guess the price of this cursed PC i found on ebay

[clever laurel]

659

[hexed tapir]

It's legitimately e waste

Fx 9590 gets crushed by budget phones

[ivory mountain]

the dirty spots on your monitor are probably worth more

[rough salmon]

anyone know a good android tablet thats good for xbox cloud gaming with wifi 6 on it

[sonic siren]

🫢

[brazen glen]

325 buy it now lmao

[hexed tapir]

$325 that doesn't officially support windows 11 and uses way too much power 🧐

[stark kiln]

167.41$

[frigid blade]

How is it that Intel is incompetent when design new CPUs but then when it comes to GPUs they aren’t half bad?

You’d think it would be the other way around

[ancient shale]

hey guys, i'm transferring my old SSD to my new PC soon, but i'm not sure how to go about it

[frigid blade]

$300 seems overpriced no?

[frigid blade]

Uninstall drivers, remove SSD, add to new PC, install drivers

[ancient shale]

windows key?

[frigid blade]

Why would you need windows key

You’re transferring the SSD, it has everything on it

[ocean axle]

It was new

It's good for exactly one thing, being a heater

[hexed tapir]

My fx 8350 was a great hand warmer

[ocean axle]

may have a higher chance of burning your house down than a normal space heater though

[ancient shale]

i remember seeing that new hardware/mobo would freak out windows

[ocean axle]

9590s have a habit of exploding VRMs

[ancient shale]

it's the OS drive

[ocean axle]

It may, usually entering the key again will work fine

I have also had windows give zero fucks about me changing the board/etc many times

[sinful cobalt]

Because they consumed too much ZTT

[frigid blade]

That’s only if you keep drivers that’s why I said to uninstall

[ancient shale]

I see

[frigid blade]

That’s what causes the most issues

Well, you generally want a clean windows install, you can still have issues

As for keys, if you sign in with Microsoft it should assign your key to your account

[tawny heath]

my sound stopped on my computer but everything else works any ideas the windows stuff didnt help

[frigid blade]

Although I’ve never had to worry about windows keys

[brazen glen]

low expectations do a lot for people

[ivory olive]

I got the PC. It's got a 14700f 5060ti 16gb

1 stick of ram and they plug the cpu fan wrong. Oh well.

[left dove]

ew, single dimm

[sinful cobalt]

What happened to the other stick

Eaten as a snack?

[left dove]

mmm tasty fiberglass

[fringe prairie]

their cpus aren’t terrible, just not as good as amds for gaming

for prod tasks they’re great and usually cheaper than the amd equivalent

[brazen glen]

once you get another stick of ram you'll be set for a hot minute

[ivory olive]

Typical prebuilt mistakes... I mean. I can't complain at 100 bucks.

[brazen glen]

100???

[ivory olive]

Yeah

[frigid blade]

They are terribly inefficient

[brazen glen]

what in the universe

[brazen glen]

wtf

[sinful cobalt]

10nm really biting their arse

[ivory olive]

I took a gamble cause no one knows the spec.

[sinful cobalt]

till core ultra

[brazen glen]

that feels like "i found this off the back of a truck" but good on you

[left dove]

you just bought stolen goods lmao

[ivory olive]

I'm thinking repasting the gpu and cpu. Unlock the power limit on the 14700f and buy ram (hell naw)

Oh no...

[left dove]

100% that got stolen from a bestbuy or something and the dude just offloaded it to avoid getting caught

[brazen glen]

yeah that's 10000% stolen lmao

kinda whips tbh

[ivory olive]

Oh well.

[fringe prairie]

raptor lake yeah

[left dove]

yeah fuck it, cheap pc

good snag tbh

[brazen glen]

yeah sometimes you get to be the lucky one lol

[ivory olive]

I offered it to my friend and he don't want it....

[left dove]

what, keep it

[ivory olive]

I have my own pc.

[broken palm]

Glad i did not end up returning this

[left dove]

Okay so sell it for more than $100

[fringe prairie]

bb was selling a 14700f/4070 pc for $340 a couple days ago

[ivory olive]

I'll just find a friend or sell it lol

[brazen glen]

that's a $1000 pc at your average best buy

[left dove]

man just wanted drug money you know how it is

[brazen glen]

i once snagged a $2000 laptop for like 8 hundo in college for that reason

[hoary agate]

can I do lossless scaling with ts 🥹🥹🥹🥹

[onyx lake]

hey guys, is it physically possible to build this for cheaper? 1050$ or cheaper?(before tax)

this pc is 1299 btw

[sinful cobalt]

this the part where you do ur research

I’d say similar spec DIY for $1200 maybe?

[onyx lake]

gotchu, i can get this pc for 1040$ plus tax with the paypal 20% off pay in 4 deal going on rn

compared to 1300 plus tax

[ionic peak]

Good

[sonic stream]

uhmmm

how much is a pc case suppose to cost? cause i saw one for 50 dollars and the one i bought was 400 dollars i mean i know mines bigger but does that matter

[random gyro]

that keyboard and mouse isnt looking too promising ;-;

[topaz shale]

depends on if you get a 50$ or a 400$ one

[topaz shale]

$1050 is smoking crack for those specs

1299 is quite respectable

[topaz shale]

i decided to try and build these specs as cheap as i could find and i ended up around $1400. if this were only a couple months ago before the memory increase, it would have come out around $1300.

[hoary agate]

bro, I think my 500w psu just died

Literally five days before I’m replacing it

Which is bad because it might’ve destroyed my other components

That’s actually so sad

[frigid blade]

If you go used

[frigid blade]

Hahaha you’re doing the same as me

Just bought a cpu and motherboard for $583 instead of $750 with the PayPal thing (and a 2.25% CC)

[topaz shale]

i checked ebay for the same CPU and GPU but unfortunately they are too new to have significant discounts. best i could find was like 10 bucks on each

let me watch it again lol

[frigid blade]

$270 for 1440p 200Hz is wild

[mint umbra]

So why is there shortage now vs like a year ago

[empty quartz]

Damocles and shitty takes are like wine and cheese

[frigid blade]

Because the supply is running out and the demand is going up, self running AI as newer than huge LLMs from OpenAI

[mint umbra]

Feel like ai was pretty big for past year

[ancient shale]

It is Mini LED HDR 1000

[frigid blade]

When it comes to monitors, you can cheap out, everyone uses the same panels

[azure topaz]

firmware is very important

[empty quartz]

And the difference between ips and va is substantial

[ancient shale]

I've seen those videos of the monitors and it looks like they're off, and then the mouse goes on it and turns out it's just an OLED monitor on all black

[frigid blade]

That’s what reviews are for

[ancient shale]

Is that too much to ask for

[frigid blade]

I’m talking about the same type of models, cheap IPS vs expensive IPS

[empty quartz]

A cheap ips can actually be far worse than a decent ips

[frigid blade]

As long as you’re not just going off of price, you’ll be fine

I’ve always purchased the cheap Amazon monitors and compared it to the rest, they’re no different

[solar moat]

by this logic every opne buy ddr5 6000 tcl 30 ram is getting scamed

[frigid blade]

The logic is applied to monitors, not ram

[solar moat]

wdym?

every one using the same ram chips

from same 4 companys if you ram is h16a why dose it matter what kit your buying

[frigid blade]

4 companies vs just Samsung for display panels, maybe LG

[solar moat]

time for me to get all the ddr5 5600 tcl 46 ram

since its the same chips in ddr5 8000 tcl 38 kits

[frigid blade]

You’re trying to apply logic that just doesn’t work with ram

There’s a reason I said for MONITORS not every single computer part

[solar moat]

how dose it not work?

[frigid blade]

Because you should be comparing the same type of RAM rated the same way, not separate

[solar moat]

why? you did the same thing with disaplys

[frigid blade]

I’m talking about cheap vs expensive IPS, and cheap 6000 vs expensive 6000 is not what you’re doing

[solar moat]

and there both made by same company with same chips

BOTH ARE H16A

[frigid blade]

But they’re not specced the same dawg, it’s like comparing a 75Hz IPS to 200Hz

You’re like shifting away from my entire point

[solar moat]

and with ram you can just set it to do any setting you like and as long as its the same ram chips they do the same sort of settings

i seen loads of ddr5 5600 tcl 46 h16a ram do ddr5 8000 tcl 38

[frigid blade]

Which is why you can’t compare RAM to monitors with the same logic…

A 75Hz monitor won’t do 200Hz

[topaz shale]

a cool monitor isnt an AI buzzword

[solar moat]

dont say that then

[eager pond]

Ok guys rate the build. All parts have been purchased, now I just need to wait on shipping:
-Case: xtia Xproto-L v2 + PCIE4
-CPU: R5 7600x
-CPU cooler: Thermalright Axp90 X53
-Motherboard: ASUS ROG strix B650E-I
-GPU: Gigabyte RTX 3080 GAMING OC
-RAM: Klevv Cras V 32gb DDR5 6400Mhz CL32
-SSD: KingSpec XG7000 1tb
-PSU: Asus ROG Loki 850w
Reference photos:

[frigid blade]

It’s true, if you look at a cheap 140Hz IPS vs expensive 140Hz IPS, they’re almost certainly using the same exact panel

[topaz shale]

that case is sick ive never seen that

[eager pond]

Thank you so much! I lowkey had to scour the internet to find something that fit what I was going for lol

[frigid blade]

Room heater

[topaz shale]

you act like ur pc isnt exhausting heat into ur room

[solar moat]

i have 3 IPS disaply 1 of the looks so ass vs the other 2

[eager pond]

Well my rooms always cold anyway 🫠

[topaz shale]

i have an open air pc and my room is no different in temp from another case

[frigid blade]

It looks like a heater

[topaz shale]

i dont like heaters but i would want one that looks that cool in my house

[frigid blade]

Yah, you shouldn’t see a difference unless the case had no airflow then inside it will be much hotter

[eager pond]

Yeah ngl I would think it might even be less hot bc no blockage to make cooling parts work harder and therefore exhaust more heat
Could be completely chatting tho idk what im talking abt

[frigid blade]

I was literally just talking about the looks ^^^

[topaz shale]

open air is fun because you dont have to worry about static pressure and fan orientation

i have 3 fans on my pc that do LITERALLY NOTHING they are only there for looks

[frigid blade]

My PC is heater also, I have to open the windows at night

[eager pond]

I also have 2 dogs but neither shed so I’m in the clear!

[azure topaz]

i mean blasting air at parts that rely on case airflow paths is important

[topaz shale]

i have a cat tree next to my pc and i dont have hair on it

both my cats shed

[eager pond]

Dude that is sick asf

[topaz shale]

being wall mountable is quite convenient

with 3 27in monitors i dont really have room for my pc on my desk

although maybe ill switch to two stacked ultrawides someday

[eager pond]

Do you think I could mount mine on the wall? Or maybe below my desk?

[swift moss]

this guy looks straight out of cgi i'm sitting here cackling 😭😭

https://tenor.com/view/bedtime-mouse-despereaux-big-ears-gif-22156678

[topaz shale]

well mine has a VESA mount so i just got a small tv mount

[mint umbra]

Wonder how much the super GPUs will cost with these memory shortages

[bitter moat]

Does anyone here work in hotels? Like on the market analysis side? I have a question, I really need some help.

[eager pond]

Oh that’s so fire dang
I might have to ask my dad to help build me some cool as shelf or something to display my PC up high, I think that would be cool

[eager pond]

Dude that’s exactly what I was thinking. That’s why I wanted to buy a GPU so fast now, I feel like it’ll get really bad here in the next few months

[mint umbra]

Good thing I'm not in dire need of GPU

[topaz shale]

good thing i just bought ram for my server

wish i bought more though

i think my dopamine levels would be higher if this said 128gb instead of 64

[eager pond]

Ngl I just went on eBay and sorted newly listed refreshed over and over again and sniped 😭 that’s what I had to do, I got this for 155 after tax and shipping

[frigid blade]

thats me now regretting not getting 256gb instead of 192

[topaz shale]

155 for 32gb is diabolical

[raw trout]

Should I get the hp victus with a 12th gen core i5

[thorny saddle]

how much storage do you have

[raw trout]

With 3060 4gb

[eager pond]

Good or bad? I think it’s pretty solid in THIS day and age

[topaz shale]

i have two pools now for a total of nearly 20tb

[thorny saddle]

64GB is plenty for a pool that size

[raw trout]

This dude has only 10gb of useable space

[topaz shale]

2 mirrored 4tb and raidz1 x3 8tb

[raw trout]

God why do you people need so much space

[thorny saddle]

hehe

[raw trout]

My entire life is in 1.5 tb

[topaz shale]

my entire life is in 160gb

(photo library)

oh nvm its closer to 1tb if you include obs clips

[raw trout]

Do you do raw pgotos

[topaz shale]

not raw but im storing them in full quality

[raw trout]

WHY DO YOU NEED 100TB

[topaz shale]

i think i have a couple dozen raw photos out of 20 thousand

[topaz shale]

lowkey thought you had more than that

do you have a second NAS?

[raw trout]

He prolly does

He is too rich hes batman but in real life

[thorny saddle]

that's just my like user drive nas on synology

[topaz shale]

yeah thought so

[thorny saddle]

i have a bunch of flash block storage in vSphere for VMs

[topaz shale]

whats your photo library size?

[hardy horizon]

Damn i think my mini dehumidifier died after less than a year 🥺

[raw trout]

Is that nas in raid?

[thorny saddle]

which

[raw trout]

Is this your main server?

[thorny saddle]

thats storage presented to a cluster

[topaz shale]

is that 1tb of ram

[raw trout]

The synology we were just talking about

[thorny saddle]

yeah 1.12tb of ram

[topaz shale]

mad

[thorny saddle]

synology is in raid6

[raw trout]

How do you even get drives that large.

[thorny saddle]

18TB

8x 18TB

[raw trout]

Oh wow wd sells 32tb ones

[thorny saddle]

then my flash storage in vSphere is a bunch of SATA/SAS SSDs in TrueNAS

[topaz shale]

everytime i try to SMB into my nas dolphin crashes

something is fucked but idk what

[raw trout]

Dolphin doesn't like ultrasonic waves

[swift stream]

just realized people born in 2009 will legally be able to purchase GTA Vl

[raw trout]

Just realised I'll turn 18 before gta VI

[swift stream]

im stuck to playing cyberpunk for a year

[topaz shale]

there are other games too

[raw trout]

Can we play gta six on a 3060?

[thorny saddle]

what is sick about the TrueNAS setup is I have 4x 10 Gbps MPIO for iSCSI

x4

[raw trout]

Do you have a good security system

[thorny saddle]

very

[topaz shale]

update: i am stupid and it was user error

[raw trout]

Good. You need it.

[thorny saddle]

And firearms

[raw trout]

Hope you have a lockbox

[thorny saddle]

cmon man you know the thing

[topaz shale]

are you a cisco fella or ubiquiti

or perhaps an evil third option i may have not considered

[thorny saddle]

I am Arista + Ubiquiti

ubiquiti for wifi shit

I recently finished my shed setup

[raw trout]

Seems too simple

[thorny saddle]

I was going to mount that U7 Outdoor AP on the outside of the shed but its brand new and I don't want to make holes in it

[thorny saddle]

yah its pretty simple really

[topaz shale]

is that wifi 7 IN THE SHED????

[thorny saddle]

well its 10 Gbps fiber out to the shed lol

[topaz shale]

this is definitely a big tax bracket

[swift stream]

speculations usually only apply to beta, prob will get better with optimization

[thorny saddle]

then 2.5 Gbps AP

Its so I can get good wifi in the back yard

[raw trout]

Yeah I'm fucked

[proper gull]

Why does this look AI generated

[topaz shale]

god forbid your speeds diminish outside

[thorny saddle]

its pretty far it doesn't diminish it drops

[jovial swan]

Apart from speccy, are there any other good software for monitering cpu temps?

[raw trout]

I'm living in a apartment so when I walk out of my house and go to the lift the mobile data is like 2014 wifi

[azure topaz]

hwinfo

speccy is not good software why would you say that

speccy cant read vram amounts above 4gb bro

[proper gull]

Also what crackhead came up with this... 12700k minimum? it'll be able to run fine on current gen consoles it won't need a damn 12700k

[jovial swan]

Its the only software i know of

[thorny saddle]

We're doing a big outdoor living space and without wifi i can't stream the music/etc.

[topaz shale]

my mesh system works well enough to have coverage outside. my backyard is not that large however

[thorny saddle]

I don't have shit exposed to the interwebs

[raw trout]

The bluetooth device is ready to pair

[thorny saddle]

no chance

[azure topaz]

650ms latency yum

[thorny saddle]

I just bought this

[azure topaz]

all speakers out of sync

[proper gull]

Well when you barely have a backyard this is easy

[azure topaz]

it would suck ass

[topaz shale]

would have to agree

[raw trout]

Cheers

[thorny saddle]

should be cool

[proper gull]

My wifi barely reaches the front gate 60m from the house, but we only have a single U6-lite at the moment

[swift stream]

if rockstar actually follows through with optimization instead of releasing a ray-tracing reliant game, it could work. But, prob unlikely

[topaz shale]

i have a deco tri band mesh system currently

[raw trout]

In Chennai we get gigabit mobile data

[topaz shale]

it is still my main router until my ISP changes my mac address on my static ip

[thorny saddle]

yay

[raw trout]

Ok now I'm not fucked

[raw trout]

Where's the other hole

[thorny saddle]

like 100 ft away

[raw trout]

Are u just gonna leave three wires hanging outside

[thorny saddle]

no lol

[topaz shale]

soon my boy will be running

[raw trout]

Is the hp victus good?

[azure topaz]

how did we get to hp victus

[thorny saddle]

no idea

[azure topaz]

where in the steps did that comefrom

[raw trout]

It's called randomly asked questions

(RAQ)

I'm thinking of getting one

[azure topaz]

why

[topaz shale]

idk about victus but hp omnibook is pretty good for the price they are currently going for

[raw trout]

No dedicated gpu

[topaz shale]

wah wah

[raw trout]

And I want something gaming

[topaz shale]

dont get a laptop then

[raw trout]

I don't want a iris x graphics that takes half of my ram

[thorny saddle]

I gave up on wanting a gaming laptop

[raw trout]

I need one and I don't care if it's fat

[topaz shale]

gaming laptops feels like a losing game

[thorny saddle]

I kinda have cheat mode

[topaz shale]

i have a gaming laptop and a macbook air now

macbook air is so goated

[raw trout]

I am not gonna do very heavy gaming just light gaming like Fortnite mc Roblox so ya

[topaz shale]

you cannot say light gaming and fortnite

[raw trout]

And maybe some playing around with kinect studio

[thorny saddle]

I have a macbook pro ... and a geforce now subscription

[raw trout]

My 10yr old base model macbook pro can run Fortnite at 40fps

Without any config changes

[topaz shale]

probably defaults you to lowest settings tbf

[hexed tapir]

Is streaming from your home PC not better?

[raw trout]

...

[topaz shale]

nah doesnt geforce now give you some really good ada lovelace gpu

[thorny saddle]

Not really

[raw trout]

I heard cyberpunk is coming to mac

[hexed tapir]

4080 or 5080 on select games for the top tier

[thorny saddle]

I think so

I have 5080 on this

[raw trout]

What

My brain just said the mac has a 5080

[thorny saddle]

it does

through GFN

[dry helm]

finally got my atw service and DoH working over internet

[raw trout]

Ok

[frigid blade]

btw you can get incredibly low latency high res gaming by streaming from your home pc

thats how i would play games back in high school on the school pcs

[topaz shale]

i remember testing geforce now when it first came out

[topaz shale]

i was playing overwatch on my pixel 3xl using a wired xbox one controller lol

[frigid blade]

it just wasnt good enough on the free version

im not gonna pay extra for resources i already have

all it takes is opening a few ports and you can stream from your own pc

[raw trout]

I would use playit cuz airtel won't behave with port forwarding

[thorny saddle]

@raw trout

[raw trout]

Why does that look tempting

[topaz shale]

geforce now will almost always be better than streaming from home pc

[thorny saddle]

its fantastic honestly

[topaz shale]

its at a datacenter even mr batman @thorny saddle couldnt get a connection stronger than nvidia has at the source

not easily anyway

[thorny saddle]

I have access to lots of toys

[opal dock]

Jesus you got an H200

[azure topaz]

thats 4

[thorny saddle]

yah 4 H200 in that box

[frigid blade]

Only if you don’t have to pay for better specs

[azure topaz]

whatever display youre playing on remotely is likely going to be the issue be real

60hz laptop screen is 60hz laptop screen

[opal dock]

Multiple times my whole networth in that box

[azure topaz]

legit just dont matter

[thorny saddle]

but yeah for like $20/month GFN ultimate is kind of sick

[azure topaz]

apparently my best 5700G yc score is 34 and some change seconds damn

thats a lot better than what im getting but i dont have cpu oced ig

[thorny saddle]

flops tomorrow my 265k will be a real computer

[azure topaz]

yay

i like real computers

those are the good ones yknow

[thorny saddle]

lol, it'll have a gpu

[azure topaz]

the ones with only 2 dimms slots

[thorny saddle]

so far its lived most of its likfe igpu

[azure topaz]

oof

[thorny saddle]

it was just for plex ya know

[azure topaz]

yeah thats fair

[thorny saddle]

now it'll prob be the only plex server with a 5090

[azure topaz]

my igpu isnt great in my "plex" box so i gotta use a shitty quadro

[warm saddle]

Should i install monitor drivers from manufacturer site?

[thorny saddle]

shouldn't have to

[topaz shale]

monitor drivers?

[azure topaz]

ig like icc profiles

and what not

like my dell monitor has a driver it auto installs but im pretty sure its just a color profile

but yeah what snail said you dont have to

if it exists, windows update will pick it up

more than likely anyways

[thorny saddle]

i run hdr calibrator anyway

which creates its own profile

[azure topaz]

i think this stupid fucking asus board has a weird memory voltage limit

[topaz shale]

i have a 1060 3gb in my media server and it seems to do everything great

[thorny saddle]

prob it

probe it*

[frigid blade]

I’m donating my 1060 3GB to floppa at some point

[azure topaz]

if i set <1.6v all my shit gets way unstable

i do not think bdie requires a max mem at 1.6v

[topaz shale]

you should donate it to me so i can SLI two 1060s for a whopping 6gb of VRAM

[frigid blade]

Bro my cpu, mobo, and aio all got pushed back a day on shipping

I hate USPS

[thorny saddle]

i still have a gtx 1050

[azure topaz]

im gonna try to set a max mem and see if its just the bdie quirk

seems so actually

okay proceeding to party

[topaz shale]

chat is it worth it to build a proxmox cluster to avoid learning python

[thorny saddle]

how does one lead to the other

[azure topaz]

i think proxmox is fun but whats that gotta do with python yah

[topaz shale]

trying to set up home assistant without paying for ring

[azure topaz]

nah im not buying it actually

[topaz shale]

there is an addon that lets you bypass it or you can manually code it

i have it running in a container and you cant use addons in docker ig

[azure topaz]

im still confused

isnt home assistant free

whats that gotta do with doorbells

like 1.2 million leaps and bounds broski

[jovial swan]

uh which one do i pick?

[azure topaz]

fast cdn

dapp our beloved

[topaz shale]

home assistant has built in integrations with ring and their subscription service. you cant access motion data or recordings unless ring says this user has paid for the subscription

[azure topaz]

this is the part where you say you have a ring doorbell that you want to use without paying for

instead of making us guess that

[azure topaz]

indirect storytelling mf

[jovial swan]

damn

[azure topaz]

close it

run it again, sensors only

makes yo life prettier

looking for CPU package or like tdie or something whatever it says on fucking amd

[thorny saddle]

it says 4" stroke temp

[topaz shale]

https://tenor.com/view/gullible-cat-gif-10045432096842980672

[jovial swan]

oh hey i can see my temps now

[onyx lake]

Yep, with the 20% off paypal rebate it’s only 1040…

[onyx lake]

i always have a full setup, just was wondering if it was worth it for only 1k(1100 after tax)

[mint umbra]

Does anyone else think the sticks are positioned to high up

[topaz shale]

i havent felt it yet

[raw trout]

Is home assistant compatible with tp link?

[topaz shale]

they have a public compatability list

but i also have it open

[raw trout]

Hmm

Might be worth a try

[grim sequoia]

extra pair of pcie

idk where they go, there’s some already connected into the gpu

and these are too short to connect to anything on the motherboard , any thoughts ?

[formal sonnet]

Some GPU's don't need both sets of PCIe power connectors.

[grim sequoia]

Would the no signal be because I didn’t fully slot the gpu in ?

I had that issue before

[formal sonnet]

Maybe. Could also be defective GPU, defective CPU, defective RAM, plugging monitor into the motherboard instead of the GPU, monitor issues, RAM / memory training taking a really long time, etc.

[topaz shale]

first make sure your hdmi is plugged into your gpu not the mobo

usually culprit no. 1

[random gyro]

it is pretty good for a 1000 usd pc

[random gyro]

they could have made the grips longer to accommodate

[ebon marlin]

i have a Steam deck which has the same controller layout and it feels nice

[tulip grotto]

ladies and gentleman, i might have a questiob

[random gyro]

just spit it out

[tulip grotto]

could I hypothetically run 2 gpu's on a z87-plus?

[ebon marlin]

wasn't that the norm back then

[random gyro]

yes.

[tulip grotto]

alright, so im buying another 3050

[random gyro]

ANOTHER ;-;

[ebon marlin]

it won't work

3050 doesn't support nvlink

[tulip grotto]

yes it does

[random gyro]

it will, but they wont work together

[regal marlin]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/dwW9fd

how is this

[tulip grotto]

Sooo what gpu then?

[ebon marlin]

keep the 3050 or get a better gpu

[formal sonnet]

Technically, sure, but you can't combine their power using SLI or NVLink... Getting another 3050 would just give you more monitor outputs.

im getting 500 this xmas

[random gyro]

get yourself a better gpu then

[tulip grotto]

NO!!!! xboxxx... hehehehee

[ebon marlin]

xbox? in this day and age?

[tulip grotto]

imma redecor my room legit tho

Yeah my room is very broken down

I dont have a smart tv, its a regular TV from 2009, no console, dresser is falling apart quite literally

i dont have a mirror and i need 2

old ikea bed

im fucked

[random gyro]

it is plug and play so its a lot more user friendly than building a pc, downloading software, only for something to not work.

tldr its more user friendly

[ebon marlin]

that's not what i'm talking about

[random gyro]

and for a device for purely gaming, it does the job well

[ebon marlin]

just buying an xbox in this day and age is incredibly stupid compared to a Playstation

[tulip grotto]

OMFG STFU ABT THIS CONTROVERSY

[ebon marlin]

it's not controversy

you get all Xbox exclusives to Playstation, cheaper online and Playstation exclusives

[inner veldt]

Is this something I should worry about? Brand new gpu’s backplate has this little scratch on it

[tulip grotto]

everyone argues about xbox or play station

its souly opinion

[ebon marlin]

there's literally no point in buying an xbox when you can get all it's games on playstation

[ebon marlin]

it's not just an opinion anymore it's just playstation is a better choice

Gamepass is expensive as hell now and the game selection is dogshit

[tulip grotto]

ok so what about the people that cant afford one and can only get an xbix?

[ebon marlin]

Xbox is literally more expensive

Microsoft has raised the price thrice on them now

[tulip grotto]

387-799 is crazy

[ebon marlin]

?

[tulip grotto]

an xbox is like 399

lmao

[ebon marlin]

that's an Xbox Series S

which is just a modern Xbox one

[tulip grotto]

yes thats what Im getting

cuz i cant afford a better one

[ebon marlin]

you can get a ps5 for same price

https://www.target.com/p/playstation-5-dig-825gb-console-fortnite-flowering-chaos-bundle/-/A-94967679#lnk=sametab

[tulip grotto]

"No, put the xbox back, u get this one cause its cheaper" ahh💀

[ebon marlin]

playstation is quite literally ur best choice

[tulip grotto]

dude idc, i like xbox more bru

[ebon marlin]

the xbox series s is very weak

[ebon marlin]

they're the same shit

[tulip grotto]

so why tf u stiill yapping?

[ebon marlin]

Are you just ragebaiting or are you this dense normally

[tulip grotto]

this dense

[ebon marlin]

[tulip grotto]

im legitamately getting a room makeovert

[ebon marlin]

legitamately

[tulip grotto]

and i cant go a dime over 400

[ebon marlin]

the playstation is 399

[topaz shale]

willingly choosing an xbox series s over a ps5 is natural selection at its finest

[ebon marlin]

I used to like xbox alot but in 2025 you're shooting yourself in the foot when choosing an xbox

nowadays Xbox is only good for their controllers

got an XBox Elite Series 2 controller which is like 200 bucks i think

[topaz shale]

i have the gen 1 controller back from when i used to have an xbox

[ebon marlin]

yeah

[azure topaz]

ddr4 4400 cl 16

[ebon marlin]

yummy ddr4 speeds

[azure topaz]

my bad i did mean ddr4

[ebon marlin]

https://tenor.com/view/grey-goose-vodka-move-oops-smile-gif-17705114

[ocean axle]

no, its substantially better than an xbone

[ebon marlin]

slightly

[ocean axle]

no, substantially

source: i have devkits for both on my desk

[tulip grotto]

it says 4k 120 fps, is that the DEFAULT fps or no?

[dry helm]

its fine I have it working

[ocean axle]

no console is doing 4k120

[azure topaz]

lol

[ocean axle]

4k or 120 maybe

[dry helm]

anyone else have to compile realtek drivers for any wifi dongle to work?

[tulip grotto]

then what he sent me is a scam

[azure topaz]

1440p with like a little under 1080p scaling to 120fps yes

[tulip grotto]

lmao

[ocean axle]

no, because it can do 4k, and it can do 120, and it can output at 4k120 to a display

but none of the consoles are powerful enough to do 4k120

[ebon marlin]

this kid can't be any older than 13 lmao

[ocean axle]

not the PS5, not the XSX

[topaz shale]

maybe stardew valley

or what about silksong

[ebon marlin]

Stardew is locked to 60fps

[azure topaz]

we're cooked

[topaz shale]

well

[ocean axle]

im assuming not a game like that

[ebon marlin]

I know that with my almost 1k hours

[topaz shale]

i know for a fact roblox just recently unlocked fps

[azure topaz]

fortnite ps5 man

[topaz shale]

im sure theres countless games on roblox that you can hit 4k120

[ocean axle]

it can do 4k, it can do 120, it can even conect to a display doing both at the same time
it cannot run a game at that

i dont know what part of that is so hard for you to understand

[ebon marlin]

it's a little kid

[tulip grotto]

IM NOT A CONSOLE GAMER

[dry helm]

remember when the PS5 box had 8k on it? yeah sony removed that

[azure topaz]

none of this has to do with consoles

its just like a pc bro

[ocean axle]

PCS PULL THE SAME SHIT

[azure topaz]

your rtx 2060 cant play games at 4k or 120 but it sure can display 4k 120

[ocean axle]

go look at the advertising for a 3090 "8k gaming" fuck no it cannot

[tulip grotto]

im a 3050 rtx dude

[ocean axle]

yea, and your 3050 can output 4k120

[brave brook]

you are simply mixing display output capabilities with performance capabilities

[ebon marlin]

your rtx 3050 cant play games at 4k or 120 but it sure can display 4k 120

[tulip grotto]

whats all the toxicity for?

[ocean axle]

you being an idiot

[ebon marlin]

no one is being toxic

[brave brook]

just because a GT710 can output to 1920x1080 display it doesn't mean it can game on that resolution

[ebon marlin]

maybe Rogue is slightly toxic with that message

[topaz shale]

he plays rust this is what stereotypes are for

[tulip grotto]

bruh

[ebon marlin]

Rust players are the dumbest people I know lmao

[ocean axle]

that explains a lot

[tulip grotto]

thats toxic as well

[ebon marlin]

only the ai max 395+ is better than the 256v

[tulip grotto]

js like stop being toxic

like damn i wouldnt have to be an idiot if u wouldve took the time to explain

[queen dome]

in efficiency?

[ebon marlin]

overall just better

[dry helm]

the skus are confusing on laptops especially but this has been going on for a long time

[azure topaz]

i assume everything if he ssayin it like that

[dry helm]

I think linus made a video about it

[queen dome]

the skus make me wanna quit

[dry helm]

275k should beat out the 385 but not the 395 but the 285k is better but not as good as the 385 +

[dry helm]

same here

[queen dome]

my brain had a stroke reading that

[dry helm]

mine too when I first saw the skus

[random gyro]

its preference to bring that matter.

[ebon marlin]

i already own a 5070 but damn this 9070xt at 500€ is calling my name

[ebon marlin]

not really

1. You get all Xbox games on Playstation now
2. Playstation's Online is cheaper compared to Gamepass if we compare the ultimate tier
3. the games you get from them is also significantly better
4. PS5's storage is upgradable with standard drives that you can also use on your PC

etc etc this can be done to infinity

[random gyro]

wait the xbox exclusives are now in playstation?

[ebon marlin]

yes.

[random gyro]

i can forza on the ps5?!

[ebon marlin]

yes

[random gyro]

yayyy

[ebon marlin]

atomic bomb vs coughing baby

[random gyro]

GOAT SIMULATOR 3? hell yeah

[ebon marlin]

V Rising, Alan Wake 2, Goat Sim 3, Silent Hill 2, Until Dawn, Yakuza LAD vs Hogwarts Legacy i guess

the xbox games added in october are straight booty compared to Playstation's

[scenic juniper]

there are multiple burn marks on my motherboard.....

[random gyro]

ok, south park isnt accurate.

the south park console wars trilogy (season 17) brings an argument whether playstation or xbox is superior

xbox won

but thats not what happened in real life!!

[sacred garnet]

Intel is annoying.

[azure topaz]

rude

how could you say that about my faovrite billion dollar company

[clever laurel]

can anyone find me a good 32gb ddr5 kit that is 6000mhz+ and lower latency then CL36 in australia? i can find shit for under 400

[fresh escarp]

Morning people

[random gyro]

what happen?

[sacred garnet]

Trying to find new ram to a Xeon E series, but it supports none-registered ram, which is proving quite difficult to find.

[azure topaz]

unregistered ram is just

...ram...

like unregistered ECC?

[sacred garnet]

Yes

[azure topaz]

what size dimms you want?

[sacred garnet]

16GB or smaller, since 32GB and upwards isn't supported either.

[azure topaz]

how many dimms?

[sacred garnet]

4x 8GB

[random gyro]

maybe it has to do with it being s server or workstation grade processor and not a consumer chip

[sacred garnet]

That would make it even more stupid

[median sinew]

my bank account is currently crying 😢

$150usd btw 😭🙏

[azure topaz]

https://www.ebay.com/itm/286915846124

oh my bad those are 4's

[sacred garnet]

I appreciate your help, I true do. But, they have to be bought through CVR

[azure topaz]

idk what a CVR is

[sacred garnet]

Danish company number.

[median sinew]

dansker?

hva fanden

[sacred garnet]

sindssygt bror

[median sinew]

hvorfor ska rammet købes igennem et dansk firma?

[topaz shale]

the merch is so expensive but the things that are pricey are usually worth it

screwdriver is one of those

[median sinew]

they so are

this mousepad is amazing, and the screwdriver is 😫

[sacred garnet]

ZBC

[topaz shale]

it is quite a good mousepad

[median sinew]

når køber du det til dem?

[topaz shale]

reasonable price too but the shipping makes it hard to justify

[pulsar obsidian]

This is why we dont trust microsoft ai

[median sinew]

100%, 40cad is really resonable

[sacred garnet]

That's why we don't trust Microsoft.

[median sinew]

but $30 shipping and $50 import fees...

ouch

[topaz shale]

50$ import? what

[median sinew]

yep, thats EU for you

[topaz shale]

i thought 10$ shipping was bad 😂

[median sinew]

TEN???

i wish

[random gyro]

they use non registered ram for reliability, performance, and stability

[sacred garnet]

registered ram provides less stress on the CPU though

[azure topaz]

i mean ecc is still ecc lol

[random gyro]

"mid gaming laptop" ;-;

[sacred garnet]

Yeah just not to intel

😭

[random gyro]

this thing has a 7th gen i3 and a gtx 940m

[sacred garnet]

[random gyro]

[median sinew]

[random gyro]

[random gyro]

[azure topaz]

least believable cop ever

[tawny lava]

[swift moss]

i can cop for 99cny but like I feel like my sneakerhead friends are gonna have some raised eyebrows

as to how i afforded 1kusd shoes in uni

[random gyro]

this thing can do 50% the herman miller can do at a really low price

[swift moss]

bro 😭 that 50% is the difference between spinal injury + bad posture and a comfy chair lol

[scenic juniper]

any possible way to repair motherboard

[random gyro]

this thing can

• sit
• serve as a ladder
• assert dominance if you stack enough

[scenic juniper]

random burn marks everywhere after trying to switch ssds and no sign of life

[azure topaz]

no details or photos

[swift moss]

good luck gng 🙏

[scenic juniper]

[scenic juniper]

[scenic juniper]

[azure topaz]

yeah probably

[random gyro]

yep

[scenic juniper]

dear god

[azure topaz]

[scenic juniper]

no warranty...

[azure topaz]

/j for legal reasons

[random gyro]

i mean you can send it to

[scenic juniper]

[azure topaz]

[swift moss]

[azure topaz]

salem maine

[swift moss]

[scenic juniper]

[random gyro]

its like bob the builder not being able to fix it D:

[azure topaz]

aka sending it in for no reason

[swift moss]

nope this is not repairable, any damage done to the pcb itself is VERY hard to solve especially internally
