i got pc with rtx 3050 and thank god i will give it to my sister that gpu is so ass

1 fan 6gb vram ahh gpu

[ionic peak]

nah its 50/50

[left dove]

I remember having a 24" one with a dvd player AND a vcr built in

And then I had a 40" crt

God I was so strong when I owned that, I'd rearrange my room constantly so I'd be moving 200+lbs of glass around on my own

[valid laurel]

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/fr7Zt3 i have £374.36 rn spare for my pc build until i get more money in january, is there anything in this list that i should buy now due to prices and stuff?

i have already got the graphics card so don’t need to worry about buy that now as i have it on my side ready for january

[abstract wigeon]

good wifi 5 acess point? is an access point what i need to make my wifi good? i get 500mbps in one room and 10 in the other

[west kettle]

does case fan quality matter a lot? is there a big difference between an expensive and cheap fan? because i can imagine the tech is relatively cheap and doesn't really get more expensive with new innovations

[rough salmon]

how far are you from the room

[abstract wigeon]

upstairs and like a room away

diagonally up

[rough salmon]

u def need a mesh

are you in the uk or us

[abstract wigeon]

yeah what can you reccomend? uk btw

[rough salmon]

virgin media?

cuz i have the 500mbps plan

[abstract wigeon]

for mesh access points?

[rough salmon]

what wifi isp are you first

[abstract wigeon]

bt

[ancient shale]

just take a look at what deals there are and consider listing price + how often it goes on sale

[rough salmon]

on bt plan you can get anther access point

[abstract wigeon]

?

[rough salmon]

thats if ur willing to pay an extra £6 monthly, if not then TP LINK does very good mesh

[stark kiln]

Hello

[tulip grotto]

Idk what I should do tho, idk what would fit my motherboard, would I need a case that fits my motherboard?

Same with the fans

[valid laurel]

well stuff will hopefully be on sale rn due to black friday

might order the case

@ancient shale is the case i picked good?

[ancient shale]

it's a nice case i can attest to that, i have the mATX version

good airflow, i managed to go a very long time with like the 2 case fans that were included

[valid laurel]

isn’t it 3 fans included

[delicate zodiac]

measure your motherboard you can buy bigger case but not smaller than motherboard and basic fans are 120mm you can measure it too

[delicate lion]

Ah so even bigger cases have the screwholes to fit smaller mbs?

[delicate zodiac]

It should have like atx case should have screwholes for atx and microatx

[delicate lion]

So one size smaller

[delicate zodiac]

Not sure about mini atx but you can allways look at reviews, images etc

[delicate lion]

makes sense, thats usually the case with cases ive seen

[delicate zodiac]

It could be more but 1 100%

My friend has atx case with microatx board

[distant frigate]

Upstream usage going up. Makes sense

[brazen glen]

Buying an 8 gig 3050 in 2021 was what got me back into hardware

I felt so damn burned that I had to relearn

[vernal dagger]

hi guys are KTC any good should i get one

[solemn stag]

How do I know if I should re mount my cpu cooler? There seems to be a sag but the temps are ok

[true stirrup]

If the temps are okay the mounting is okay

[solemn stag]

I feel like idle temps are kind of high - idk I’m not a good judge of these things

[glacial kraken]

💀

[tulip grotto]

Can someone help me find a good pc case for my pc? I want one that comes with rgb fans cause I need to improve the looks on my pc

My pc looking exactly like my grandmas pc

[zealous plover]

What size?

What color

[left dove]

we're already helping him in tc2

anyway i can make this cheaper?

ram prices are killing me

[topaz shale]

have you checked ebay for ram?

[proven shoal]

more or less the same prices

also not for me, and i dont think the person who wants it would want used stuff

[topaz shale]

unless you have a hook up then ram prices are still quite bad

[indigo bough]

how do i determine weather its my gpu or monitor thats broken?

[topaz shale]

options are to bite the bullet or wait 12 months

[indigo bough]

im seeing a shit ton of smearing in games and the monitor is bugging out a lot

[proven shoal]

yea, i myself are looking for some cheap ram for my server...

[topaz shale]

yeah tell me about it

ddr4 feels like its gone extinct

[proven shoal]

took a gamble for 2 mobos, not sure if they work yet.
Ones a mpg z790i edge and the others a msi pro b650 wifi

[topaz shale]

oh my god wait they restocked i might be getting more ram

[proven shoal]

bought them for about £100 together

[topaz shale]

nvm false alarm

[proven shoal]

rip

[topaz shale]

i can get ddr5 for a good price but not ddr4

[proven shoal]

i need ddr5 :/

ddr4 is decently priced at a used store here

[true stirrup]

CPU and temps?

[proven shoal]

£30 for a 16gb stick 3600mhz

[topaz shale]

you see the problem is i want the 32gb sticks

and kits even on used market have gone from around 100$ US to 200$

i can get 2x32gb ddr5 for like 280$

CHONKY case

waiting on the CPU and Mobo, coming in 3 days

[frigid blade]

peak the RAM cooling @azure topaz

[proven shoal]

what cpu/gpu combo

[topaz shale]

big boy

[frigid blade]

285k + 4090

[proven shoal]

dam

[frigid blade]

I already have a 13900kf with my 4090 but i need the better IMC from the newer gen intel

[topaz shale]

wait are there no hard drive bays?

[proven shoal]

ah ic

[frigid blade]

its placed differently

lemme show

[proven shoal]

what do you use the pc for?

[frigid blade]

10 supported 3.5 drives

[frigid blade]

Have been building over time, will be a homelab

[topaz shale]

10 2.5 in drives??? what da hell

do you mean 3.5in?

ah okay

[frigid blade]

mainly for hosting VMs with GPU-partitioning

[proven shoal]

oh nice

[frigid blade]

allows me to get huge performance anywhere

[proven shoal]

makes sense

[topaz shale]

im lowkey thinking about switching to SAS drives

[frigid blade]

it will be in the basement, and use mini PC in my room to stream the VM desktop

@topaz shale

But I can fit 20 in here for sure

thats the goal at least, 16 from HBA, 4 from the motherboard

[proven shoal]

3d print your own hdd holder

[frigid blade]

i thought about this but I dont have a 3d printer

[proven shoal]

i just got mine today

[frigid blade]

was thinking about asking my old high school if I can do some projects with their 3d printers, am visiting my old networking teacher

[proven shoal]

i was gonna 3d print a nas, but then montech had other plans

sorry lian li

[frigid blade]

anyway, I wanted this case because of how much space it has, it can technically fit 2 boards

so if I want, I can install a second system

[topaz shale]

incredible

[proven shoal]

where would you put another mobo?

[frigid blade]

this would be sick but its not what im going for

[frigid blade]

the bottom left has holes for mini ATX or something

[proven shoal]

ah makes sense

[frigid blade]

i forgot the form factor name

[left dove]

itx

[topaz shale]

my current server is only a full tower case and its too pretty big for the space its in

[frigid blade]

this thing is huge

[frigid blade]

its been my dream case for almost a year

[proven shoal]

micro atx or mini itx

[frigid blade]

im going to couple it with a few 169CFM chassis fans

[topaz shale]

i didnt have to pay for the case or the gpu

so pretty fire

[frigid blade]

my current pc is a prebuilt that I got on eBay for $2.5k after tax, took me a few months to snag it

[spring raft]

still less chonky than my thermaltake core v21

[frigid blade]

came with the 13900kf and 4090

i replaced the RAM with 192gb of ddr5

thankfully that was before the huge spike

[proven shoal]

lucky

[frigid blade]

but that ram became an issue, because it would not run any faster than 5600MT/s in gear 2

so thats why the IMC, motherboard, and cooling upgrade

[topaz shale]

thats quite a lot of ram

[frigid blade]

a huge issue was the RAM was overheating during benchmarking and failing

this case has a specific bracket that lets you place fans above the board, so will help with cooling the RAM

or, you can change the orientation of the bracket, and pull the hot air away from the HDDs on the right

like this

i got the mobo and cpu together for only $580 instead of $750 (the CPU alone goes for $500 market price)

yall gotta take advantage of the paypal pay in 4 rn, its 20% cash back

pair it with a CC with some cash back too

[topaz shale]

i fear you may be right

[frigid blade]

and I got a free AIO with it

that was on newegg ^

you can also get some games for free

like bf6

the gpu deal on newegg was absolutely crazy

[proven shoal]

i think it might be time to get this

I want the deals but like most people here I don't like to just give all my information to China for alixpress. I tried two accounts different devices private browser, VPN, different locations anyways, different emails and all that. Both got suspended as soon as I made them before I could buy anything.

How do I not get suspended when creating the account so I don't have to give them ALL my personal information? And is it worth giving them stuff like my phone number to reactivate one of the accounts I did make to get some deals?

[true stirrup]

All you need to give them is the shipping information and that's it

[flat cliff]

Not when I make an account with an email and it says can't check out suspended account please give us...bla bla a lot more personal information to reactivate it.

[true stirrup]

Just use a different mail

I have 3 accounts on 3 different mails

[flat cliff]

I used 2 different emails, different devices in a private browser with a VPN on and everything suspended both of them.

What more would I do?

[gleaming rose]

dude what is China going to do with your personal information

Store your money in gold then

You don’t have to worry about it

[gleaming rose]

yeah

[steel umbra]

until a crisis comes and it would illegal to hoard gold

like you don’t know what will or what will not happen in 20-50 years

[frigid blade]

Good thing you paid cash through a sketch person so no one will know about the gold

[gleaming rose]

and anyways who cares, you're one of millions whose information they have and based on your behavior likely a very low profile individual

[frigid blade]

Right, the average persons data is worthless individually

[frigid blade]

theres already 3 standards for it

[plush wren]

is there nothing after aes 256

[frigid blade]

FIPS 203-5

er wait, no

ML-KEM-1024 is similar to AES 256 in terms of security

ML-KEM helps generate or share keys in a safe way, AES is the algorithm used to symmetrically encrypt the actual data payload once the key is established

so yah, we're not looking for AES alternatives, just integrating

[plush wren]

[ionic peak]

Should i reinstall Windows?

[frigid blade]

why

[ionic peak]

this and the HDD has a Win 10 copy

[steel umbra]

also the number of attempts also limits le quantum hacking

[tired bear]

do aes 256 twice with diffrent key

[steel umbra]

quantum computers can do a lot of attempts in a short span

[craggy cove]

if you have a lot of free time

[ionic peak]

i do at some days

[steel umbra]

but if you just set like a limit of 100 attempts per day even quantum computer won’t break in with brute force

assuming your password is more than 4-5 characters

[azure topaz]

if only it was full water cooled ram instead

[ionic peak]

But do you have some?

[craggy cove]

sometimes

and i use it very badly

[ionic peak]

my next free time destroying activity will be factory resetting my phone and replacing the battery for example

Sorry Mein Jung

[iron moth]

Hey, can i ask yall a question about RAM?

[grizzled frost]

ask away

[uncut fossil]

well well well

[iron moth]

Is Corsair or Kingston Fury Beast "better"? as far as I know they use the same Chipset and in the MHZ Section im in (6000mhz*) theyre I think CL36 or CL40.

The Corsair ones are cheaper though and the Kingston ones more expensive, though until now I always had Kingston and never had a problem with them, while Corsair products (like my headphones) broke before

[uncut fossil]

what do we have hear

[craggy cove]

sot is a better metric

[ionic peak]

sot?

[rigid fjord]

i have had some random with a similar pfp as you trying to constantly dm me

[craggy cove]

screen on time

[true stirrup]

Both are fine
Ram prices rn are absolutely horrible so just try to get a decent deal

[craggy cove]

both have lifetime warranty so yeah

[iron moth]

I actually ordered mine already last week, 32 gigs for 64€ 😂

But they called me and asked me to decide tomorrow if I wanted to stay with the selected no RGB Kingston Fury or if I wanna go for Corsair RGB ones 🤷‍♂️ so thats why im asking

I got incredibly lucky with the prices

[craggy cove]

where tf did you get 32 gigs for 64€ last week

[true stirrup]

Bro robbed someone

[plush wren]

i sold 32 gigs ddr4 for 65€ brand new

[craggy cove]

i got mine for that price in august

[iron moth]

I have no clue either, I got super lucky i think, genuinly. And no its not some scammy offbrand store or DDR4 with DDR5 taped over it 😂

[ionic peak]

idk how to see it or i just dont look at it

[true stirrup]

I would go with the Kingston since both are the same price then
Corsair should be fine but they sometimes have issues

[iron moth]

I also heard that, especially if the RGB breaks that they stop working entirely. And since its under the table, what would i need RGB for 🤷‍♂️

[craggy cove]

if you have an android it shows it in the battery tab

[plush wren]

i made my kingstom ddr4 ram somehow unstable, i put on the side panel of my case and 20 mins later my pc overheats and shuts down

[ionic peak]

1 hour and 50 min

of is like over 16 hours

[craggy cove]

how are those related

[plush wren]

idk bro i just know i couldnt boot with xmp on anymore

[iron moth]

Its the first time for me to buy a new PC since 2018 so I went with a german Prebuilt near me and I apparently got literally the last order with the price of 64€ for 32 gigs of DDR5 6000mhz*. After that they went up to 94€ yesterday and are now at over 150€

[empty quartz]

Yes

[craggy cove]

idk bios reset and/or bios update

[ionic peak]

Nice had once 2 days

[true stirrup]

Amazing

[craggy cove]

ah so you bought ram and a whole ass computer?

[plush wren]

that was like 2 years ago and i dont have that ram anymore i think

[iron moth]

😄 Yeah, im pretty excited. Im going from an i5-8500 and a 1070 to a Ryzen 7 7800X3D and a 5070ti with 32gigs of ram, 9Tb of storage and a new case

[plush wren]

actually maybe i do

9tb of storage what the flip

[iron moth]

I initially wanted a 5080 but because they were 300€ more i decided against it though and used the money to buy a new monitor. 60hz FHD => QHD 180hz 😊

[true stirrup]

That monitor difference will be night and day

It was so beautiful when I did that exact monitor upgrade

[iron moth]

It really is, it arrived 3 days ago and it blew my mind

[craggy cove]

good decision

[iron moth]

And i cant wait for the new PC. Though i did feel bad for missing out on the sale for the 5080. I couldve gotten it for 170€ more in the end on another page, but from Gainward. 🤷‍♂️ But I stuck with the 5070ti from ASUS Prime because otherwise id have had to cancel and reorder my PC or lend money to afford it until the moneys back

Was staying with the 5070ti a good decision? Or would the 5080 have been worth it? I "only" game at 1440p

Never used it though, i got it as a gift from the previous user but since I always preferred my Samsung A52 I just never used it 🤷‍♂️

[delicate lion]

does anyone know how i check my chipset drivers? im trying to find out if i should download new ones or just not worry about it, reason being im updating bios and figured i might aswell give this a look aswell.

Do you get all the drivers you need out of the box perhaps?

[vale reef]

this new windows update giving me screen tear

theyv fucked something

[azure topaz]

lemans

[tired bear]

what about lemons

[vale reef]

where are my properties

[tired bear]

install actual driver first

[vale reef]

guide me please

[tired bear]

google "gpu model + driver"

download and install

[vale reef]

amd uninstalled itself too

good grief man

[pine palm]

hey guys

what causes steam and other apps to not laod?

steam is on in the background but my games wont run

and steam wont open

[ionic peak]

idk not there

[plush wren]

just restart your pc 🔥

[ionic peak]

and look into it

[golden sage]

did this person potentially ruin that GPU by blowing into it like that? (Watch till end)

[pine palm]

didnt work

[plush wren]

idk then

[pine palm]

my NZXT capture card

[azure topaz]

probably not. just dead vram

[south arrow]

Videos you can taste lmao

Gave me a tickle in my throat just thinking about it

[rain hinge]

Good deal or no with the market rn.

[south arrow]

Not bad if theyre good sticks ❤️

[verbal prawn]

yes...

i don't like that it's a yes but yes

[south arrow]

Same

[rain hinge]

Ya I'm finally planing to upgrade and seen the prices and almost cried 🤣

Been using a i7 6700k for to long 😂.

[south arrow]

Thats fair, what cpu you moving to?

[rain hinge]

I'm not really sure yet just something I can get on like a bundle deal. Anything newer is better then what I got is how I'm thinking 😂.

[steel umbra]

theoretically if the dust in the gpu was conductive and it mixed sith his saliva or something and bridged some component, probably was dead from beginnign tho

[verbal prawn]

pricing is litterly off the charts on pcpp for 6000 cl30...

[rain hinge]

Ya it's nuts sad times

[steel umbra]

be patient

[glacial hound]

Thanks Canada computers for the sweet open box offer

[verbal prawn]

so that am5 upgrade i was thinking about is gonna have to wait

[steel umbra]

let those ai heads buy overpriced ram

[verbal prawn]

CC member deals don't have additional open box discounts

[glacial hound]

Ah! Thanks for letting me know

[south arrow]

What is it lol?

[glacial hound]

I assume by this you are also Canadian? If so, what do you think of a arc b580 12gb for 319?

[verbal prawn]

eh

[glacial hound]

Arc b580. Really toying with it.

[verbal prawn]

you live near the border by chance?

[glacial hound]

Unfortunately 4 hours away

[verbal prawn]

ah never mind

[glacial hound]

Best deal I've seen really

319 cad is 225 usd for reference

225usd feels good

[verbal prawn]

it's aight

[glacial hound]

I'm still running a rx580 lol

[verbal prawn]

I wouldn't say it's a bad buy

but i wouldn't say it's a good deal

[glacial hound]

I did it fuck it

[proper gull]

A b580 for less than MSRP isn't a good deal? What are you smoking

[verbal prawn]

i don't like the b580 at msrp tho

[proper gull]

You're just objectively wrong then

[verbal prawn]

i like vsr

and dlss

i just think the 9060xt for 399 cad and the 5060ti for 460 are pretty competitive with it

[glacial hound]

I ended up going with it lol

Free shipping to my rural area sealed it. Basically saved me another 40 bucks.

I do wonder about the cpu overhead issue.

[azure topaz]

9060xt 16gb unironically great

sisters boyfriend has one, scores the same in timespy that my 3080 did

[crude phoenix]

hi guys im building my pc and im trying to post it but im getting no display

[azure topaz]

for a 350$ card brand new getting 3080 (350$ used card) performance its great

[verbal prawn]

Fixed recently afaik

[azure topaz]

more vram too

[verbal prawn]

400 cad so like 2 usd

[azure topaz]

350 usd is still good imo

[glacial hound]

Gotcha. Still on am4 so was a little worried.

[azure topaz]

its the "i didnt want to buy a used 3080" method

[topaz shale]

350 for a 3080 or 3080ti?

[azure topaz]

read the rest of the chat

also 3080 and 3080ti do not perform very differently

3080ti only benefit is 12gb vram

[wheat torrent]

Watching LTT Video from 2 years ago

[verbal prawn]

Hey it's like 5% faster

[azure topaz]

yeah you can do that by dragging the 3080s vram slider in ab to +1000

[verbal prawn]

Ok what if you do the same on a 3080ti

[azure topaz]

you end up same boat

even on a max oced 3080 tho ur still only getting like 20k points in timespy (source me)

i dont think the 3080ti is much past that

nah its like 10% more on the absolute top end (top 100 results)

[azure topaz]

must flex

[verbal prawn]

@odd marsh when get on arc raiders

[dreamy aspen]

Vanilla 3080 12gb also exists broski

[azure topaz]

whats your point here

thats great it changes nothing about the conversation i knew that 😭

[dreamy aspen]

Okay then

[azure topaz]

3080 12GB is overpriced/ at least more than you should pay for a 3080

same with a 3080ti

[dreamy aspen]

Yeah 10gb is cheaper than both of these

[azure topaz]

i actually get results for a 3080ti 12gb before i get results for a vanilla 3080 12gb on ebay sorting by cheapest LOL

[verbal prawn]

Really?

[dreamy aspen]

But also... the vram ends faster and given that, it'll be a 1080p card soon coz of devs almighty "optimization"

[verbal prawn]

308012gb are the same price as 10gb on my local marketplace

[dreamy aspen]

Depends from country as well yeah

[azure topaz]

i mean thats good but at the same time buy a 9060xt lol

people want at minimum 350$ for the 12gb variants here and thats the same price as a brand new 9060xt 16

kind of a no brainer to me

[verbal prawn]

It's more expensive then a new 9060xt lol

[azure topaz]

LOL

[verbal prawn]

Nvidia bias goes hard here

You like cannot find an amd GPU on marketplace

[empty quartz]

Ifon

Ifon 3g*

[verbal prawn]

There is a total of 2 7900xtx listings on marketplace

Both for 100$ more then the cheapest new 9070xt

The times when apple was somehow innovative

When steve was alive, they mostly delivered, unlike it is nowadays

[empty quartz]

Apple still innovates

Name 1 other smartphone that has satellite messaging

For free

[brazen glen]

I can’t believe Steve iPhone invented the iPhone 30 years ago today

[empty quartz]

Hasn’t been 30 years

[dreamy aspen]

Only that one particular function

[brazen glen]

I can’t believe it

[empty quartz]

The iphone is 18 years old

[dreamy aspen]

It was 18 years when they announced it

Ago ofc i mean

[brazen glen]

I am being a silly little guy

[empty quartz]

Development started in 2005

[topaz shale]

wrong chat

[dreamy aspen]

So, if we include the date of development, it's been 20 years

20 years btw, it flied so fast lmao

Would you rather get paid to use a gt 710 for 1 year for 5k usd. Or get 2k for using a GTX 1050 ti for 1 year

[random gyro]

im watching linus' review on the light phone 3 and it astounds how much people in the comments hate the idea of it.

i do think a lot of people miss the point as the comments prove

what are the most durable usb c to aux adapters

i need something that can handle a lot of abuse like drops and getting dragged

[grizzled frost]

buy yourself a big UPS, saves you from the gray hairs of updating BIOS

bought me a 1.35kw UPS for 1/3rd of MSRP by buying used

no longer care about power outages borking my bios

[topaz shale]

power goes out
update stalls

[grizzled frost]

if the power goes out when you update your bios, your motherboard is just bricked

[topaz shale]

yes

[grizzled frost]

thats why you use a UPS

[topaz shale]

correct

imagine how scary it would be if your power went out with a ups still

the heart rate would climb

[grizzled frost]

bios update is super low power draw, you have ages on any decently sized UPS

i could probably run a PC doing a BIOS update for 2-3 hours on my rack UPS

[topaz shale]

oh you have a rack ups?

arent those things the size of like 6 car batteries

[grizzled frost]

Mhm, 2u 1.35kw 1.5kva Network managed and expandable UPS

MSRP of like 1500usd, but i got it for 500usd for buying it used

[grizzled frost]

depends on what you buy

[topaz shale]

oh 2u doesnt sound too large

[grizzled frost]

yeah not that big, just dense as hell

[topaz shale]

whats the battery made of?

[grizzled frost]

lead acid

[topaz shale]

ah figures

[grizzled frost]

3 of em in a little pack

the whole thing weighs like 55lbs

[south arrow]

Its not so bad just literally hang out till it boots to windows (note itll re memory train and all bios settings will default)

[grizzled frost]

it literally says two man carry on the box lol

unit at the bottom is the UPS

[topaz shale]

also i just turned on my sony xm6 and it auto connected to BOTH my phone and my PC on linux. i am living the most convenient life

[grizzled frost]

the very bottom grey thing is just a blanking panel

[topaz shale]

topmost light gray thing is a patch panel right?

[grizzled frost]

Mhm

[topaz shale]

im trying to learn a bit more about rack organizing while i set up my mini rack

[sleek ibex]

https://www.philscomputerlab.com/voltage-blaster--5v.html Where have you been all of my life

[topaz shale]

im doing something kind of weird because of the space i have

[grizzled frost]

from top to bottom,
1g switch
patch panel
10g ubiquiti aggregation switch
4u custom built Nas with a dual socket LGA2011 motherboard with 512gb of ram
2u R730
1u R630
2u 1.35kw UPS

[topaz shale]

is your nas running your router virtually?

[grizzled frost]

nah i have a UDM SE for routing

that's in the network closet downstairs

thats where the ISP link comes in

[topaz shale]

i see

[grizzled frost]

the rack is upstairs in a spare bedroom

with a 10g link between the closet and rack

[topaz shale]

this is where my network stuff will be located. my tplink AP is being moved rn

i am delaying running the cable as we speak

but i 3d printed a modular server rack so i can use both 19in and 10in equipment just by 3d printing accessories

[grizzled frost]

what'd you print it in?

[topaz shale]

p1s

[grizzled frost]

i meant the material

[topaz shale]

here is the start of it. yellow / brown is petg hf and black is petg cf.

[glass crest]

What adblocker can I use for Twitch? I use ublock rn

[topaz shale]

the piece im holding up is what converts it down to 10in

[grizzled frost]

Very nice

[topaz shale]

it kinda sucks because i can get racks for so cheap. i just dont have the space

[grizzled frost]

i got my 20u rack off ebay for like 100usd

[topaz shale]

like a rack your size with wheels is 20$ on fb marketplace in my city

[grizzled frost]

not the best rack in the world, but it does what i need it to do

[topaz shale]

i may also be able to get a 48u for free

but the space

[grizzled frost]

Yeah i'm lucky to have a spare bedroom i can shove it in

that thing also puts off heat like a mfer, like peak 1kw

and a constant draw of ~500w

500w doesn't sound like a lot, but when it's constant, it's a lot

[topaz shale]

mine is in a spare bedroom lol

[proper swift]

3D mark does NOT know what this is 😭

[topaz shale]

i have it set up for creating things mostly

[grizzled frost]

what on earth are you running?

[proper swift]

It’s a cool gpu xd

[grizzled frost]

most gpus are cool, but what is it?

[proper swift]

well, theres not many gpus that score this so take a guess

[topaz shale]

just a cool 300 espresso shots

[proper swift]

stocking a whole office?

[topaz shale]

nah just moving boxes to run some cables

[proper swift]

for yourself?

[plain cypress]

Pods?

[proper swift]

why does bro own so many espresso shots

[topaz shale]

nah its like 2.5oz espresso drinks

they come in a plastic bottle

[plain cypress]

Bottled beverage? (Bottled or canned)

[plain cypress]

Ah, I see

[topaz shale]

bottled yea

[plain cypress]

I get my coffee in a bag

[topaz shale]

my normal coffee is beans

[plain cypress]

Bag o beans

[topaz shale]

and then i have an espresso machine and drip pot for coffee

[plain cypress]

But I hate my grinder it is so messy

It's a good grinder, but it makes a mess and retains so many grounds in the burrs

[topaz shale]

our second grinder died on us so we purchased a third of the exact same one. they finally seem to be getting cheaper

[plain cypress]

I have a fellow... something

Fellow opus

[topaz shale]

this is the grinder. wouldve recommended it a year ago. not anymore, the build quality had diminished

[ancient shale]

the part i hate the most about pc building is that everything requires just enough force to make it feel uncomfortable & like you're gonna break something, until that one part where it actually doesn't require that much force, and you're gonna break it

[cold skiff]

Not really

I can’t think of anything I have to put any real force in. CPU is fine, the ilm it does it for you, with contact frame it feels so much less. Ram dimms are fine, again the force is set by the clip. Gpu nothing at all really, the psu connections nothing at all. The nvme is barely anything… screws are screws. What are you putting any real force on tbfh?

[ancient shale]

ram dimms were very scary for me. i expected it to not be anywhere near the amt of force needed

cpu is fine but the lever was extremely scary 😭

actually it's kinda just ram dimms and the cpu lever

otherwise nothin else

[daring oyster]

Are ram prices gonna come down or keep going up

[grizzled frost]

eventually it'll come down

might be waiting quite a few months to 1 year+

might not be, who knows

[formal sonnet]

Nobody can predict the future. So long as demand is higher than supply (especially when the demand is for memory modules for machine learning servers), prices will likely remain up there.

[cold skiff]

My kit cost me £110. Last week it was £170. This week it’s £270. Crazy.

[cold skiff]

Woman in UK complains her child’s home work is too difficult 🤦‍♂️

[grizzled frost]

it’s literally 2/8 or simplified 1/4

[cold skiff]

I think she took it literally.

As the second part says the pizza, and it’s 2 pizzas.

But it’s so easy to know what’s being asked

[grizzled frost]

a slice of pizza is still pizza, just not a pizza

it’s worded perfectly

[cold skiff]

My wormy little brain is reply 1/8 and I get the second all to myself

But we know the answer is 1/4 and she just playing up

[grizzled frost]

who unironically writes 2/2 as the answer though

like where on earth do you even get that from

[cold skiff]

British chav mum

They have kids at 14, no grades, no job, smoke weed. It’s the culture.

Oh and 4 kids with 5 different dads.

[steel umbra]

brain error

happens

but yeah that is not a hard homework question

[agile topaz]

The answer is literally in the question too, its the funniest thing

2 pizzas between 8 people, 2/8

[iron glen]

It is for me i don't understand the question (because its not in estonian)

[barren mulch]

every time i try to play re7, this happens, ive uninstalled it and reinstalled it

[topaz shale]

what gpu are you using

it looks like a problem with DirectX 12, check for gpu drivers if you havent updated them in a while

[rigid fjord]

you forget the getting drunk on lambrini and alchopos

[barren mulch]

rx580, but i know it works with re7 cause ive completed the game twice on this pc

on max settings too

[lapis talon]

Can't find the SN7100 2TB in stock anywhere

Called a shop, they said they have it in stock and it's $50 USD???

[hushed plank]

where would i ask about
what is a good processor to pair with a rtx 3060 12gb

[topaz shale]

sounds like a really good price

[lapis talon]

Did you secure your ram and ssd

[lapis talon]

Sounds like a scam vro

[topaz shale]

fr

[lapis talon]

Would cost $220 USD if I were to get it imported from China

Would take 15-20 days

Problem is

[hushed plank]

this for a serate build
2x16gb ddr4 3200 mhz
1tb nvme for boot drive

Peter Schmidt-Nielsen (@ptrschmdtnlsn)

Okay, I got too tempted. I spent 30 minutes and designed a deranged board that uses this part to produce 3.3V and 12V rails, with edge-plated prongs to be pushed directly into an outlet. I think there's a 10% chance JLCPCB sees this for what it is and refuses to make it.

[azure topaz]

ugly ass kit on god

[lapis talon]

Floppa I need your help

[azure topaz]

what

[lapis talon]

Ssd

2tb

[azure topaz]

google the specs and if its tlc buy it

[tulip sparrow]

At this point I may as well wait for AM6 to drop

[azure topaz]

buy the cheapest TLC drive

[lapis talon]

That's hard right now

[azure topaz]

youu cant google something?

[lapis talon]

2tb drives are barely available

[azure topaz]

so you have slim options! good!

[lapis talon]

The ones that show up aren't available most of the time

[azure topaz]

so what do you expect me to do

[lapis talon]

Yeah! Ones that are out for my budget

[lapis talon]

Select something from those that are available

[azure topaz]

then it doesnt matter id just buy the cheapest 2tb drive thats nvme

[lapis talon]

Does Corsair work?

[azure topaz]

or if theres one that comes with a heatsink and your board doesnt have one for slightly more id do that

[lapis talon]

Specifically their MP600

[azure topaz]

wow look at that

[warm saddle]

Do you have steam overlay enabled? And discord overlay?

[azure topaz]

its tlc. so yes. its fine 😭

no it is bad

[lapis talon]

Id have to go for AITC or Team T Forcr

[tulip sparrow]

The controller right?

[lapis talon]

Oh sh my bad

[azure topaz]

the mp600 will be fine as it is a tlc drive i would buy that and be done this isnt a choice that requires this much thought

[sleek ibex]

reminds me that some mad lads in the retro computing scene made something that would help with 5V so newer PSUs can be installed with no issue

[azure topaz]

if it gets hot in the future without a heatsink, buy a separate shitty heatsink, itll be cheap and work

[lapis talon]

Nah rauko said to get something from these before

[azure topaz]

mp600 includes a heatsink i thought though

[lapis talon]

That's why I asked

[azure topaz]

all of those are probably TLC

[lapis talon]

Most likely

[azure topaz]

which is why he chose em

[tulip sparrow]

there was an mp44 that wasn't good i thought

[azure topaz]

idk

[lapis talon]

Also the MP600 here doesn't come with a heatsink

[azure topaz]

oh then its fine regardless

MP600 still gud

[lapis talon]

Id have to go for Team T Force if I want a heatsink and gen 5

[azure topaz]

tbh any of them would work just fine and he wouldnt care

[lapis talon]

But I heard gen 5 is a big no-no

[azure topaz]

but advising TLC is generally smart so

its not, theres just no point to spend the extra $ on it

[lapis talon]

Yuh

Aight tysm Floppa

[azure topaz]

am deploying into raid yw

[lapis talon]

Oh wait this is the name

[azure topaz]

even better and that is a heatsink

The price hike on RAM is probably the best thing to happen for the environment in a long while

Vote for Higher RAM prices.
Vote for the environment!

[cunning hearth]

what yall think about this costco deal

full spec list go crazy too

[serene pumice]

Buy it & sell the RAM sticks for 1500$

[cunning hearth]

Ryzen 7 9800X3D
RTX 5070
360mm AIO
32GB DDR5
2TB NVMe SSD
750W PSU

all for $1500 btw

[cunning hearth]

my parents wont know how to use linux

windows is designed for those business casual jerks

linux is designed for 🤓

[peak swan]

Yeah tbh idk why in tsch chat but whatever

[cunning hearth]

but then i wouldnt have ram for my pc...

[peak swan]

Keeb and mouse straight to bin

[cunning hearth]

well i already have a keyboard and mouse thats like 200 dollars overall

[peak swan]

Yeah, but you already sold ram, wait a bit for gpus to go up, sell that too, then sell the rest for barely anything and build a nicer system

[cunning hearth]

wont be using a 35 dollar combo lol

[cunning hearth]

wym i already slid ram

ive been using this cheap 300 dollar laptop and an external monitor combo for years

LET ME OUTT

back in those days, i would play games at 360p js to get 30 fps

[peak swan]

I made a typo bruh

[cunning hearth]

slid is nowhere near sold bruh

[peak swan]

Buy the desktop sell parts for profit, build better pc

[peak swan]

I pressed i instead of o, and mixed the order with l

[cunning hearth]

i could never

[peak swan]

They are in the same area of the keyboard

Like

[cunning hearth]

next time ill remember to slid my ram tho

ty for the advice

[buoyant bridge]

firefox has to have a memory leak what the fuck

I have 2 fucking extensions and 1 tab open

[peak swan]

Task manager says you have 83 instances of Firefox

[buoyant bridge]

that is the processes used by firefox, not instances

that hasn't been instances since Windows 8.1

[peak swan]

I swear even on 23h2 that shows instances for me

[buoyant bridge]

firefox will normally use 30+ processes on a hybrid CPU thats normal for it

[buoyant bridge]

its always been processes

[peak swan]

Ai can lie

[buoyant bridge]

https://superuser.com/questions/1763192/what-does-this-numbers-in-bracket-mean#:~:text=The numbers in brackets in Task Manager,Manager** * Using the keyboard shortcut **Shift+Esc**

https://superuser.com/questions/1862114/what-is-the-number-in-parenthesis-after-a-windows-11-task-manager-process#:~:text=That is the number of,to view all those processes.

[peak swan]

But still, firefox has 83 things happening

[buoyant bridge]

https://support.mozilla.org/si/questions/1253990

[peak swan]

So like

[buoyant bridge]

that is pretty normal for firefox

[peak swan]

Usually it doesn't go over 30

[buoyant bridge]

it needs 18 processes now, double that for hybrid CPUs

[peak swan]

Both on linux and windows

[buoyant bridge]

each extension counts for a process, idk how it got to 83 but yeah

[buoyant bridge]

its probably firefox tweaking out and being firefox that caused that

[peak swan]

I mean tbf i have pretty old hardware but still

[buoyant bridge]

with hybrid support disabled in flags its 18 when i first start firefox but will jump to 23 after a few minutes

firefox is stupid compartmentalized lol

and how firefox supports hybrid CPUs is esentially running 2 instances of firefox, one for big, one for little cores

[peak swan]

I would check my laptop buut
So like that's firefox 115 esr

[buoyant bridge]

oh 115 is before they completely got rid of gecko

the last of the gecko code was removed in like 118

(thats why 115 is starting to show a lot of compatibility issues too)

[peak swan]

What even is gecko lol

[buoyant bridge]

the old firefox browser engine

[peak swan]

Ah

[buoyant bridge]

they have a new one wrote partially in C, mostly in rust called quantum and it has a LOT of preformance issues

[peak swan]

I mean even windows xp gets somewhat modern browsers to this very day like
They aren't great to use, especially with small amounts of ram but they are there

[buoyant bridge]

quantum sucks because its not wrote for anything but Windows 10/11

the new GPU rendering stuff they brought around doesn't even work on WIndows 10

its genuinely exclusive to Windows 11, EVEN CHROME AND EDGE'S GPU RENDERING WORK ON LINUX

[peak swan]

Now that's why new versions are win 10 or newer abd yiu can't use like vxkex to install on 7

[buoyant bridge]

no quantum came around in 2017

but the gecko code base wasn't ENTIRELY removed till 2025

[peak swan]

New Firefox versions no matter what won't install on anything older that windows 10

I've tried

[buoyant bridge]

that's because of NT extensions NT 6.1 doesn't support

[peak swan]

Well ignoring linux

[buoyant bridge]

the minimum version is actually NT 6.3-3 but that isn't avaliable in x86 and its feature partity to NT 10.0.1900

NT 6.3-3 is Windows RT feature update 3/8.1 ARM feature update 2, NT 10.0.1900 is Windows 10 1607

Quantum has NOTHING to do with W7/W8.1 outright not working, 115 is a quantum version lol

[peak swan]

I guess i finally understand why firefox chugs so bad on linux, especially when graphics are happening on my shit pc

[buoyant bridge]

Firefox 57 and up use quantum

[buoyant bridge]

firefox has never supported GPU rendering till rather recently

Chromium browsers where the only ones with GPU rendering till recently

its ironic edge's GPU rendering works correctly on linux but firefox's does not

Quantum was only even devolped cus Servo/Gecko was using code that was nearly 20 years old in some places. firefox had an absolutely anchient code base before that (its why firefox's website compatibility improved a lot after quantum came around)

[peak swan]

Yeah, but on windows and linux i try to keep the same version (usually close to latest) so i can clone cookies between the two, so i have seen it works better on windows 11 than linux

[buoyant bridge]

r u on a non debian distro?

firefox's GPU rendering is disabled on anything except debian distros

[peak swan]

I hop between distros

[buoyant bridge]

ah

yeah it litterally only works on the .deb version of firefox, the flatpak, aur, and various other ones don't support it

and its made with Windows 11 in mind anyways

[peak swan]

Rn i have cachy os or whatever it's called, before i had kubuntu

firefox hate is justified tbh

[peak swan]

I mean i still rather use Firefox than crome, especially on mobile because extensions

[buoyant bridge]

firefox doesn't have mobile extensions 😭😭

[empty quartz]

I prefer using ms edge

[buoyant bridge]

oh nvm it does now

[buoyant bridge]

edge is super good thats the thing I just hate microsoft so I wont use it

[empty quartz]

Its either edge or safari for me

Chrome just sucks ass now

[buoyant bridge]

i use epiphany on linux and firefox everywhere else

[empty quartz]

I use edge on macos

Safari on my phone

Im honestly kinda tempted to get an apple thunderbolt display (or studio display) as my editing monitor

[buoyant bridge]

dont get a apple thunderbolt display they're only 1440P

get a studio display if ur gonna get a apple monitor its leagues better (5K)

once you edit on a 218 ppi monitor you will NEVER go back

[empty quartz]

Have you actually used either?

[fresh escarp]

Gm

[buoyant bridge]

I use a LG UF5K now which is the same panel as the studio display

and I used to have a apple studio display (the old one) which shares panels with the thunderbolt displays

[peak swan]

How long have u been under a rock?

[empty quartz]

Not factory calibrated

[buoyant bridge]

I dont do very much on my phone

[peak swan]

And the home page is ass

[buoyant bridge]

no its factory calibrated

[peak swan]

Nokia 3310

[buoyant bridge]

the UF5K (27MD5KL-B) is the exact same panel including being calibrated as a 2017-2020 imac 27"

and its a almost identical panel to the studio display (the studio display uses the QQ3 instead of the QQ2)

[buoyant bridge]

I'm considering getting rid of my UW and replacing it with an LG 32U990A-S to have 2 High DPI panels

the only thing stopping me is my KVM switch won't work with it

[unique tapir]

Made me laugh

[buoyant bridge]

it's closer to the XDR than the Dell 6K one is and has a normaly display port plug

[unique tapir]

I use Outline VPN

[buoyant bridge]

its not mullvad so its wrong

[midnight wind]

I suppose if you call 2019 "recently"...

[buoyant bridge]

firefox litterally didn't support webGPU till 141 wdym 2019 😭😭

141 came out in july this year

[midnight wind]

Oh sorry I thought you meant just it supporting GPU rendering for webpages entirely

[buoyant bridge]

nah I ment actually using the GPU for websites. not for HTML

though firefox's GPU accel is horrible too and I end up turning it off cus it slows the browser down

[lapis talon]

Ordered the MP600 PRO XT 2tb

Is it possible to clone windows to my new drive?

[midnight wind]

well before webgpu support it Stoll rendered websites with GPU acceleration. Just you can't run certain games or webpages that render specific things using the WebGPU api

[midnight wind]

something's not right then, maybe it's not actually using your GPU

[buoyant bridge]

no itll like 20-30% use my GPU

having GPU accel on in firefox breaks high resolution scrolling

[peak swan]

Holy cow

[buoyant bridge]

and it makes the website hitch a bunch.

[midnight wind]

What

bros distro is cursed

[buoyant bridge]

high resolution scrolling isnt a thing on linux

no hardware supports it on linux lol

[midnight wind]

what is high resolution scrolling

[buoyant bridge]

where your scroll wheel has more positions to make scrolling actually smooth

its like the main reason people actually use the magic mouse lol

[midnight wind]

it does with trackpads...?

[buoyant bridge]

yeah but not with mice.

my G502 has it on Windows, so do most logitech mice and microsoft mice

[midnight wind]

If that's the case then maybe the magic mouse driver is just wrong

[buoyant bridge]

im using a G502 ;sob:

it only has 60 scroll ticks on Arch and Ubuntu, it has 4000 on windows

[midnight wind]

What? Does it somehow behave differently on newer G502's? I have one and the smooth scroll is just a physical button toggle that makes it not have the ticks. But the ticks are still just single scroll ticks at the hardware level

[buoyant bridge]

60 is what litterally every USB mice made in the last 10 years uses, Logitech has a bunch of mice that do 4000, the magic mouse does 6500

[buoyant bridge]

you dont know what im talking about

[midnight wind]

I do not

[buoyant bridge]

software wise when you press the scroll wheel clutch it only does 60 ticks

[midnight wind]

It must be a new feature on newer g502's

[buoyant bridge]

nope

I have the G502 proteous (the very first one)

and my G502 hero does it too

its just not a feature supported on linux.

[midnight wind]

that doesn't make any sense because it's just a physical toggle, how can the OS somehow magically know it should scroll "high resolution"

[buoyant bridge]

the reason touchpads have so much smoother scrolling is they're all around 4000-6500 too

[buoyant bridge]

because you need a driver to go above 60 😭

the lock on the mouse actually makes it 35

[midnight wind]

even when you unlock the wheel with the button it still registers discrete ticks about the same distance as the normal scrolling "ticks" with it locked

[buoyant bridge]

when tis unlocked its 4000, when its locked its 35, when you dont have the driver and its unlocked its 60

[buoyant bridge]

you don't know how hardware smooth scrolling works.

hardware smooth scrolling requires a driver to make it work and works by having a VERY high resolution scroll wheel

[midnight wind]

I literally have a g502 Proteus spectrum and cannot observe the behavior you're talking about
Please demonstrate

[buoyant bridge]

do you have lghub installed?

[midnight wind]

Yes

[buoyant bridge]

scroll in a web browser like chrome that supports it on windows

if ur on linux it wont do it because the driver does not exist

[midnight wind]

It just ticks at the same distance as with it locked
I have never seen what you're talking about, is there some setting I'm supposed to change?

I've tested this before because I Was curious

[buoyant bridge]

no you just need LG hub installed, you will get touchpad like scrolling when the scroll wheel is unlocked

[midnight wind]

It doesn't work for me I guess

I could try it again later if you really want but I don't know what I'd do different

[buoyant bridge]

This is what a G502 scrolling on a high DPI monitor looks like without LG hub installed lol

This is with

scroll wheel unlocked for both btw

dji neo 2 or mini 4k

expected to be flown near people

[oblique nest]

Asus ROG Astral RTX 5080 16Gb 👍👎?
Might be the time to buy one. Black Friday, black week and Christmas/New Year discounts.

[cold skiff]

Any 5080 works

[robust swift]

any good options for 1440p 180+hz 1ms with good colours? (~£250-450)

[cold skiff]

In UK can get a 5080 for 900. Astral costs £1400 why pay more than 50% for another 5080z

[frigid blade]

There seems to be an OK deal on an acer nitro, it’s $190 USD for up to 270Hz, 1440p

[robust swift]

I should stop back reading

[robust swift]

Ngl id rather run 180hz if it means better colours

[frigid blade]

How do you know if one has better or worse?

[robust swift]

Colour ratio, colour type (ips vs oled), etc

[frigid blade]

We’re talking IPS

99% sRGB

[robust swift]

250 nits tho

[frigid blade]

How you know that

[lapis talon]

Anyone know if Legion has the same old ugly Lenovo boot logo?

[robust swift]

Quick Google search

[frigid blade]

Mod it

[lapis talon]

That's what I'm planning but I'm asking if Lenovo changed the logo for Legion laptops

I've never had a Legion before so I wouldn't know

[frigid blade]

Bro not you again

https://tenor.com/view/i-be-profen-gif-9435864923799777590

[lapis talon]

Only stuff related to changing boot logos are Indian videos and there are randos just spamming that "it's going to have a HUGE impact on your PCs performance"

[frigid blade]

Nothing I just remember you from yesterday

[lapis talon]

I don't get how a logo can have a negative impact on performance

[frigid blade]

Elon's biography

[frigid blade]

It’s not even about training, it’s about how they phrase their system prompts in a way to be biased towards Elon/Right Wing

On top of that, they feed it more 4chan and stuff like that

[buoyant bridge]

grok has a no filter mode and it litterally just says racial slurs every other sentance

[frigid blade]

Remember that Twitter bot or something that was made some years ago? And it learned from the people typing in its chats

[unkempt dock]

i have no clue about PSUs, could anyone just send me a few that are 850W and decent, cuz the one i selected is sold out everywhere

[frigid blade]

There’s a few PSU tier lists, go off of those

Don’t have to be A or A+, just look for like a B or something

[cyan bay]

y'all someone might trade their 3070 to my 3060ti, he's trading value is 314.70usd while for my 3060ti my trading value is 272.21usd.. how much cash should I prolly add?

[buoyant bridge]

honestly considering grok is on twitter how has twitter not canceled it for saying that a 2 nanosecond age gap okay (it reguarly advocates for pedophilla fyi)

[frigid blade]

First find some in your price range and then compare them to the PSU tier list, it’s easier than finding every 800W PSU in the tier list and checking one by one
