[grizzled frost]

welp my switch is dead

[azure topaz]

my am4 cpu collection is growing at an alarming rate

[grizzled frost]

i have a bunch of LGA 2011 CPUs

[azure topaz]

i’ve had more am4 cpus than any other platform and i hate it the most

[frigid blade]

i literally only play hearts of iron

[azure topaz]

escape from tarkov on am4 at all is optimistic unless you have X3D

[frigid blade]

https://tenor.com/view/hoi4-micromanage-gif-20717885

[plain cypress]

LGA1151 is the most I've dealt with

[grizzled frost]

i have like 8 lga 2011/2011-3 cpus

[azure topaz]

i actively have 4 am4 cpus rn

[plain cypress]

Although AM4 is the only platform I bought 2 CPUs for
But I only used one; I upgraded our server to 5700x, stole the 3800x to replace my 2700x, and then don't use my spare PC now

[grizzled frost]

i have 4 2690V4’s

[azure topaz]

all being ran through this thing

[azure topaz]

i have two and a 1680 v3

[ancient shale]

https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Response-Compatible-FreeSyncTM-LS27FG500SNXZA/dp/B0FNQDNGXY/ good monitor for $400 USD?

[plain cypress]

Any OLED for $400 is fine

[ancient shale]

there are multiple rn and there's no rtings for it yet, so i was wondering if it would be better or worse lol

https://www.amazon.com/AOC-Q27G4ZD-Monitor-Compatible-Zero-Bright-Dot/dp/B0DQVP7TNH/ this is the other one for $400

[plain cypress]

180hz is unusual

How much more for an already reviewed 240hz

[ancient shale]

Same price, the AOC one that I linked

or https://www.amazon.com/AOC-AG276QZD2-Tournament-2560x1440-Compatible/dp/B0D682HF6R/ which is 2 cents cheaper!

[plain cypress]

I have this one, it is fine

[ancient shale]

240hz

[plain cypress]

Why do I even bother

[ancient shale]

💔

[plain cypress]

The second AOC is perfectly fine

[azure topaz]

that was secretly a phishing link

[plain cypress]

I know nothing about the first one, it is likely quite similar

[azure topaz]

be happy your iphone didn’t give your chrome keychain away

[ancient shale]

Looks like HDR is okay but it has a limited color gamut

[plain cypress]

A lot of the OLEDs aren't bright enough for a good HDR experience

Some of the very newer ones are improving on this

[azure topaz]

not unless TV usually

[plain cypress]

But for the budget OLED monitors, I wouldn't bother using in HDR most of the time

They will produce an excellent sdr image though

[azure topaz]

my asrock has been ok in hdr

guilty likes it but that’s cause he’s got a c2 or whatever

[plain cypress]

Mine just isn't as bright as I would like

You do the game HDR calibration and you end up with "shit, my luminance is low"

It's possible I haven't played a good HDR game yet so ymmv

[plain cypress]

Yeah mine certainly does do HDR, and I can see it working if I watch HDR test videos on YouTube

But those are often ideal cases for hdr

[thorny saddle]

yeah its a large part of it - trefi and trfc are really the bulk, cl by voltage... but if he's already in the 50s at 6000 CL30 I suspect it won't be very tuneable I dunno

[plain cypress]

HDR true black 400 is HDR capable, but not HDR exceptionable

[ancient shale]

Alright, I don't even bother with my current LCD so... sgtm

[plain cypress]

We really need HDR true black 600+

[azure topaz]

not sure, i haven’t seen any somewhat scientific tests on how sensitive of an IC they are outside of the qualities that apply to every ic

[plain cypress]

Also LG tv OLED supports Dolby vision which is just cheating

[mortal mantle]

how the fuck did this work

[hidden charm]

Is Steelseries Arctis Nova Pro any good?
Or would you guys recommend something else?

[azure topaz]

idk how android works why is this cool

[mortal mantle]

Magisk on a locked bootloader

[azure topaz]

what’s a magisk

[ripe osprey]

My computer keeps asking for the recovery key but when I put it in it loops back

Any tips?

[exotic trench]

when u upgrade from am4 to am5, do u have to change most of ur parts?

[ancient shale]

motherboard, RAM, CPU

maybe PSU if your power consumption goes too much up

so, decently so? i switched to AM5 and decided it was just time for a PC upgrade

[grizzled frost]

@azure topaz 40m in and no errors

memory has settled in a 67c

[brave brook]

two 2699v3's here

[tacit star]

@jaunty apex Can I still do it, is it still fine/safe?

[brave brook]

hope you don't plan on using it for anything serious. Cause you can say goodbye to anything requiring Safetynet, which is most , if not all banking apps, many games...

[brave brook]

you have two other options still within that toolkit

[tacit star]

Like which?

[mortal mantle]

safetynet also got killed by Google

[brave brook]

no, they still offer alternative types of activation. It is just one path which is blocked by MSFT

[ancient shale]

anyone got game recommendations? i want something graphics-intensive to test out my new build

wrong channel

[brave brook]

HWID and Online KMS versions are stll working, as stated on their website

[mortal mantle]

also this tablet wouldn't pass Play Integrity v2 anyways (since the security patch is from 2017)

[tacit star]

Is the first HWID method dead?

[brave brook]

?

just because they renamed it to "Google Play Integrity API" it is still safetynet

[brave brook]

no, KMS38 is dead. KMS38 activated stuff till 2038

[rough salmon]

Chat the steam machine will allow me to dual boot windows 11 right?

[brave brook]

dude, just open their website for once.

KMS38 has now been removed from the MAS script. Users are advised to use HWID or TSforge activation instead.

[grizzled frost]

Yipee

[tacit star]

Isn't HWID the Powershell method?

[kindred halo]

Congrats :3

[tacit star]

You put down the script or something

[rough salmon]

If I had a quarter every time someone mentioned steam machine on here, I’d be as rich as Elon musk

[vale wing]

alright i got a new one

how do we feel about the rtx 4050

[rough salmon]

4050 ew

[grizzled frost]

dumb

[rough salmon]

3090 is better than 4050

[abstract wigeon]

if it was the only option that existed yeah

[vale wing]

so let me defend my position

[rough salmon]

My god it’s Charlie Kirk

[vale wing]

there was a pc sale and i had a choice between a 4050 pc ($550 on a sale) and a 3050 pc ($729) and a 1070 pc ($299)

[grizzled frost]

theres always more options than that

[mortal mantle]

it's somehow passing something

[vale wing]

it was a gift from my parents

[mortal mantle]

(Google Play doesn't say it's not certified)

[vale wing]

4050 pc so far has not had any noise or preformance issues for me atleast

I'd say its comparable to a 6600

[vale wing]

we forgot to get it and had to make a decision last second

and it was on sale so

[grizzled frost]

also there is no 4050 PCs, only laptops

[vale wing]

yeah laptops

god you guys are nerds

its okay i know where im at

[grizzled frost]

the fuck?

[vale wing]

but yeah im gonna stay firm that it wasn't a bad deal and the 4050 isn't half bad

[grizzled frost]

you really came in here for tech advice, then called us nerds because we gave you an honest opinion

[vale wing]

i mean it lovingly

[grizzled frost]

if you wanted someone to blindly agree with you go look in a mirror

[vale wing]

I don't know what I'd do without places like this

[vale wing]

calling the 4050 terrible is the most mainstream and agreeable opinion

[grizzled frost]

Because it is, it has low VRAM capacity, and is generally overpriced

[abstract wigeon]

something can be mainstream and correct

youre not niche and different for being wrong

[vale wing]

I'm not saying I am

I've personally used it and if you tune the settings and either debloat windows/work with it a little it's not as bad as people chalk it upto be

and i established i got it on a deal within a range

[grizzled frost]

It is exactly as bad as people make it out to be

Like yeah, it's a GPU, but it has low VRAM capacity and is generally overpriced for the performance you get

[vale wing]

I use it as a daily, maybe my standards are low

[grizzled frost]

just because you happened to get a good deal on it, doesn't mean that it isn't generally overpriced

[vale wing]

I mean nobody should be buying budget laptops at full price

[tacit star]

Not worse than 1650

[vale wing]

I've played on a 1650 and it's probably the worst I've played on but it was also one of my first gpus and I was upgrading from a literal tablet

[tacit star]

The card I despise the most. I miss 1650 Super

[vale wing]

I can't even defend the 1650 its so bad

[tacit star]

1650 is e-waste

[grizzled frost]

mate just be happy with whatever you bought and don't be antagonistic when people give you their honest opinions

[vale wing]

I called you a nerd for differentiating between a pc and laptop not your opinion on a 4050

and then said i was joking the message after

[grizzled frost]

You did not, you instead decided to call everyone in this server a nerd

which is incredibly disrespectful, and the fact you can't recognize that is incredibly telling

[vale wing]

. I said lovingly

disrespectful would be saying I'm right and you're wrong and you're dumb

[grizzled frost]

after you realized it didn't take well

You can't choose to make something a joke because it didn't land the way you thought it would

[south arrow]

https://tenor.com/view/star-trek-the-next-generation-data-data-shrugs-gif-21440586

[vale wing]

i think you're overreacting over being called a nerd were all culumatively nerds

[grizzled frost]

Your inability to comprehend how exactly your message was disrespectful is only indicative of the kind of person you are

[vale wing]

no like i get it but you are fully overreacting over how serious it was

it was not personal

or mean-spirited

[grizzled frost]

I'm not overreacting, you're just trying to handwave ad hominem because you thought it was a funny joke

[vale wing]

were arguing online over how disrespectful the word nerd was

like its some vicious word that no one uses

[grizzled frost]

It's entirely dependent on context, and the context in this case is you asking about our opinions on the 4050, then calling us all nerds when it different from your preconceived notions about the 4050

[vale wing]

it's not that serious i promise you

[grizzled frost]

Like If Wormm came in here and called me a nerd, i'd laugh, because we have an established relationship, but you're some random dude on the internet that came out of nowhere and decided to be hostile

[vale wing]

i think you would remember me if you knew who i was

[grizzled frost]

Which is....?

[vale wing]

probably not at this point but i was here for a year or so beforehand and i stopped using discord for a long time

i had the same name

[ancient shale]

Found OLED monitor for $370 https://www.bestbuy.com/product/aoc-27-qd-oled-qhd-240hz-g-sync-compatible-03ms-gaming-monitor-black/JX9GSKP9H6
Should I spend the extra $30 (total $400) to get this one instead? https://www.amazon.com/AOC-AG276QZD2-Tournament-2560x1440-Compatible/dp/B0D682HF6R

[plain cypress]

A laptop is a pc

[grizzled frost]

So someone i have no recollection of, got it

[plain cypress]

extra $400

[vale wing]

i didn't mean to stir up mean spiritedness

[ancient shale]

Typo 😭

[plain cypress]

The second one has known reviews, the first is pretty new?

They're probably both fine
The panels are going to be decent but they may be differences in stand/build quality and firmware

[vale wing]

idk maybe a different name but i use to come to you for early problems when my pc had a psu blow and i was trying to figure out how to org it

i could be misremembering i guess

[stuck spruce]

4050 laptop?

[vale wing]

how did you not see the whole discussion between that 😭

[stuck spruce]

well icl its good but the vram is SO LOW

[ancient shale]

Hmm I see

[vale wing]

preformance wise ive had no issue with it and if you can get a 4050 laptop on a deal id say it's not a terrible buy

downsides are that vram ofc

[stuck spruce]

how much did u get on that laptop

[ancient shale]

@plain cypress

[vale wing]

it was uhhh $550 new with 16gb ddr5 and a ryzen 7 7445hs (which has an integrated gpu for like. basic stuff like streaming and browsing)

the weakest is probably the storage at like 512gb but its not that expensive or hard to upgrade

[stuck spruce]

i might be tweaking out but wasnt there like a 7435hs

that doesnt have an igpu

[vale wing]

yes the tradeoff was it had 8 cores and 16 threads

the 7445hs has a apu but 6c12t

[stuck spruce]

550? thats so much better than getting a 3060 laptop

[vale wing]

3060 laptops are hard to find new because they're getting older and stock on amazon and other tech websites doesnt refill them so the price just keeps racking up

because yk theyre all old stock

[stuck spruce]

talking about used btw

[vale wing]

o yeah

[stuck spruce]

speaking of used, how much?

[vale wing]

? wdym

[stuck spruce]

whats the average price of a used rtx 3060 laptop

[vale wing]

uhhhh honestly i havent seen that many but i see them in the 400-500 range

i also have a year warranty on my pc

if i buy a pc off marketplace chances are gambled that it could just. not work

and they're not taking that shit back lol

[stuck spruce]

ok so they're both 6gbs of vram and almost the same performance

[vale wing]

yeah p much

im not sure how the integrated gpu and main gpu interact though

i think integrated handles the easy stuff and then the main gpu handles gaming

debloating windows also helps alot

i went around looking for a debloater on github and it just got rid of all the stuff i wouldn't use

[empty quartz]

Any keyboard enthusiasts on rn

[vale wing]

i like 60% keyboard :D

[tender folio]

what do we think. downtalked to 50

[plain cypress]

$50, fine

[vale wing]

i think thats a solid price

[rigid fjord]

you have no need to add a mixed one once you've set the curves properly

that's a usb to serial adapter not usb to vga, i count 9 pins on it

ok, but like is that on a sys_fan/cha_fan header?

[empty quartz]

Ew

[rigid fjord]

massive yikes

[vale wing]

I have really big hands its so clunky :(

like if i use a full sized keyboard my hand hits half the keys

I have genuine claw fingers

[brave brook]

$30-$50 is the range where most GPUs end up. RX580 ? $40. 1060 ? $40. GTX580 ? $40... 😄

[agile topaz]

https://tenor.com/view/thermi-nvidia-gpu-580-480-gif-19880982

[tender folio]

do you think its worth

im broke and cant buy a rtx yet il do it way later

[brave brook]

well it's a GPU, you can game on it 🤷‍♂️

[ancient shale]

what PBO setting should I be set to? 7800x3d

[rose glacier]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/db4LrM
i can get this near me for 998$ would u say thats a good deal

[ancient shale]

and there's 2 PBO settings, one is "AI tweaker" and another is"amd overclocking"

[peak swan]

What linux distro can I use on an i486 cpu? I don't want to use tinycore because i rather have it actually installed on disk instead of into ram

[vestal stream]

can the bubble already burst or smtn??

[simple dagger]

Free delivery….. yay

Glad i built my system back in 2022

[peak swan]

Holy shit

[rose glacier]

sadly i have to build now my cpu died

[simple dagger]

I technically only have 5600MHz DDR5 but i’ve overclocked it to 6000MHz CL34

[vestal stream]

i got 32gigs worth of ddr4 ram brand new for 80 bucks 4 years ago

[simple dagger]

Which cpu?

[peak swan]

Might be cheaper to get a new cpu

Also like cpus rarely die

[simple dagger]

I got my DDR5 for like $115

[peak swan]

So, weird

[simple dagger]

32GB 5600MHz

[vestal stream]

they now cost 250 usd

[rose glacier]

5800x

[peak swan]

Weird speed

[rose glacier]

lightining

hit my home

[simple dagger]

It was pretty common back in 2021/2022 to see 4800MHz, 5200MHz and 5600MHz RAM kits

[peak swan]

Also a reminder that 4gb of ram used to cost heaps
Ddr2 days

[vestal stream]

double check that ur 5800x isnt a hot chip like mine

[distant frigate]

https://www.reddit.com/r/speedtest/s/FeRdLZQxsR

[peak swan]

Early ddr5 adopter
Lga 1700 i guess then

[vestal stream]

i got a hot chipped 5800x for 50bucks. worth it af but i cant oc it

[distant frigate]

Oh god 1000/40 cable internet

Probably DOCSIS 3.1 with a 42 MHz return

[simple dagger]

Yup, i’m on LGA1700 still today cause i see no point in going for anything faster at the moment

I can afford a 9950X3D but see no point for me personally

[vestal stream]

with ram prices like these

[peak swan]

Really? All i get is a laugh? Bruh, wtf

[vestal stream]

i guess im staying on am4 for even longer than anticipated dawg

[simple dagger]

How much RAM will the steam machine have?

[distant frigate]

Upload speeds on coax cable is not the best but DOCSIS 4.0 could change that

[simple dagger]

16 gigs?

The RAM isn’t just expensive for consumers. I’d assume it’s expensive for everyone including Sony, Nintendo and Valve

[plain cypress]

It depends how much the spot pricing has gone up

[azure gull]

lol its a good job i did my ram when i did i paid 100 pounds for 64gb of ram that same kit now 400 pounds

[plain cypress]

I got my 48gb kit for ~$170 over the summer

[azure gull]

yeah i did mine about the same time

the ram chips themself im pretty damn sure are actually worth there weight in gold right now

[vestal stream]

Sitting on a mfing gold mine over here just laying around

[simple dagger]

My dad got a laptop not long ago ‘last week‘. And it’s got 32GB DDR5 7467MHz for less than $1,000. Tbh a pretty good deal considering pricing these days

[plain cypress]

Lol

[azure gull]

if that ram was socketed he could make half his money back

[rose glacier]

what is a hot chip

i tried it in a mobo of a shop and he said it was fried

[delicate lion]

I wanted it as a failsafe if for whatever reason smth didnt work right

[plain cypress]

I have like 48gb of ddr4 laying around

[plush wren]

but then no ram

[vestal stream]

Mine goes to 90C on the regular

[azure gull]

I mean yeah but like

[plush wren]

did I cook myself by selling 32gb ddr4 for 65€ brand new

now im seeing the prices and there's kits for like 150€

[rose glacier]

on my own mobo that 1 wont even turn on

on some 1 else mobo it wont even see cpu

[plain cypress]

Used or new pricing

[rose glacier]

so yea sadly it have gone to heaven

[plain cypress]

Cause if I look at marketplace near me, it doesn't reflect what new ram costs

[vestal stream]

You sold ur ddr4 for what its actually worth dawg

Not this inflated bubble shit

[rose glacier]

stupid ai

grrr

[vestal stream]

I got lucky buying these 2 brand new for 30$

Cus even ssd are going up in price now

[mortal mantle]

you sure about that

(somehow it passed both device and basic with zero modules installed)

[mortal mantle]

(didn't pass strong because security patch is too old)

[steel umbra]

i got my micron d 2x24gb for €90

and like 2x32gb hynix kit for €140? forgot but one of the sticks arrived broken

so i returned them

hilarous that now one of those sticks is worth more than €140

[plain cypress]

I paid extra for the 8200 ez mode bin

$168

[steel umbra]

if prices go nuts even more im selling

[plain cypress]

Where are people buying this overpriced used ram

Ebay?

[agile stag]

guys do i buy 32gb ddr4 for 140$

(no)

[steel umbra]

do not buy ram rn

only if it’s really really necessary

[plain cypress]

I opened marketplace and the first listing is 32gb ddr5 for $100

Now it's shit bin, 6000 CL38

[plain cypress]

Look, it costs what it should

More cheap ram lol

[steel umbra]

“cheap”

i’m used to being able to buy 2x8gb ddr4 for like $25

[plain cypress]

It's cheap enough

[plush wren]

250gb

[vestal stream]

yep

[plain cypress]

There we go 32gb for $40

[plush wren]

does anyone on facebook marketplace ship or what are the chances im getting scammed

[grizzled frost]

shipping is indeed an option on facebook marketplace, so it just depends on the seller

[plush wren]

oh

[dusk patio]

I'd never pay anything in advance on marketplace

like maybe if you live in the middle of nowhere and there's no listings nearby

[plush wren]

im not from the us lol but i doubt anyone would want to ship to me in that case anyways or they'd think im scamming them

[rose glacier]

just go to linus wharehouse and steal all there ram.

the must have terabytes

🙂

[grizzled frost]

they reuse ram a lot, so they don’t have as much as you think

[bleak ledge]

Wtf

[slender parcel]

W

[plain cypress]

With how prevalent scam stuff is, I get why they do this

[grim moon]

Also just hurts smaller channels though.

[brave brook]

i still laugh at this

[plush wren]

holy fiuck

[bleak ledge]

It's probably to cut hosting costs on channels they can't monetize

[brave brook]

cheapest CL30

was 420 euros just 2 days ago

i mean sure, not everybody needs 64GB RAM, but still

i had my 600CL30 64GB kit for 220 euros at 9950x launch

[bleak ledge]

Hopefully there's a repeat of them flooding the market with cheap memory and SSDs when the AI bubble bursts

2023 was a good time

[brave brook]

no, because the manufacturing results are not going into parts which are usable for end consumer

[bleak ledge]

I'm sure they'll still make way too much NAND and memory

[plush wren]

500€

[brave brook]

yes, but they are not making it into products which can be sold as used parts when the bubble burts (if it bursts)

[bleak ledge]

That's true

Hopefully China finds a way

[simple dagger]

$373 in Norway for Kingston 32GB DDR5 5600MHz

[brave brook]

i expect console prices also go up by good 30-50% at least

[rose glacier]

did xbox not already done that

a few days ago saying hardware prices cost

[brave brook]

this will be on top of any current price

[bleak ledge]

Looks like it's fucked in the UK as well

5 month delivery window

[plush wren]

😭 😭 😭

[simple dagger]

Yeah the Xbox Series X costs more than a PS5 Pro

Crazy how the PS5 Pro is kinda good “value” now

[brave brook]

Sony and Lenovo have bought up some good contracts for few months, but that still only delays the issue by few months

[plush wren]

[rose glacier]

tbh i did not see a that much improve or diverance between the normal ps5 and the pro version

[brave brook]

i mean, we already had worse situation than this, but it was much slower buildup

[simple dagger]

All i care about is 60fps

That’s the one benefit to me of owning a PS5 Pro. Also PSVR2 games look a lot better

[brave brook]

2016 RAM prices were very low. By fall 2018, they skyrocketed. I mean i paid 975 euros for 4x16GB DDR4-3200CL14 b-die back then

[simple dagger]

The best example is probably gran turismo 7 which looks kinda blurry on base PS5 but sharp af on the Pro

Together with other noticable improvements to visuals in VR

[rose glacier]

i wish i could have vr, but i have tried so many headsets. but the all give me headeach in 15 min

like migraine style

my eyes are not made for it, it seems.

[simple dagger]

I am capable of playing “puke” games. So for me it’s fine

I even completed Horizon Call of the mountain

[rose glacier]

lucky u 😉

[nimble burrow]

Wtf is rtx 9700

[rose stream]

A joke started by AMD doing the 9000 series way before Nvidia ever will. Lol.

[clear palm]

Wow I just checked out of curiosity; I bought my RAM kit for $105 in February, it’s $441 right now, wtf lol

[young crest]

ATI Radeon 9600 XT

[worldly abyss]

Eww

Overpriced Corsair ram

[rose stream]

^Also based on them having done models of the same naming scheme so far back before Nvidia could reach the number to begin with, which may force them into something else later anyway. Lmao.

[gloomy sleet]

did not expect cex to have this

[rigid fjord]

that's not a fail safe, that's going to mess up the curves you've set

[ancient shale]

i just realized that i have 5 intakes and 1 exhaust, am i cooked

[slender parcel]

will ram prices ever decrease?

[ancient shale]

prolly

[slender parcel]

no

[ancient shale]

oh okay bro

i guess not

[slender parcel]

would you rather have a world without ai or with ai

[hexed tapir]

When the ai bubble pops or the companies ramps up production to meet demand

[ancient shale]

tough question but i'd say without

depends what kind of AI

[slender parcel]

then your life would be completely different in an alternate universe without ai you could be dead right now or you might be alive

[ancient shale]

if you mean generative AI then yes, without AI
but there's a lot of mundane AI everywhere

[slender parcel]

do you appreciate this good hypothetical i came up with

[ancient shale]

no, this is a terrible hypothetical that means nothing

[slender parcel]

oh ok

[jaunty apex]

Idk, I don't use windows, much less with that

[delicate lion]

why does it

[fathom vapor]

hello! can i ask a question? its not a problem per-se, so i dont know if i should just create a thread in the tech support channel, but still feel better if i ask first

[random gyro]

HOLY SHIT 4K monitor for 50 buck?!

yeah hdmi doesnt work yada yada but the display port still works

[fathom vapor]

4k as in "caught you lackin in 4k"

that doesnt look like any 4k monitor i've ever seen

see if you can get the model first, to look it up on internet, might also want to scan it through google lens

[random gyro]

i mean...50 bucks for a 144hz monitor isnt bad either

they usually go for twice that in my country

[grizzled frost]

144hz 1080p

[fathom vapor]

you can probably find a similar one in fully working condition

[random gyro]

maybe maybe

im still on the hunt ofc but this is a cool find i guess

im trying to find stuff from xiaomi or hkc since theyre a lot more common in my country

[fathom vapor]

where are you from?

[random gyro]

the philippines

[fathom vapor]

and what specs do you have? depending on your hw searching for a 4k monitor may be a waste

[random gyro]

i7 12700h and rtx 3050. ill use it for GRAPHIC DESIGN and not gaming.

im just finding whatever 1440p or 2160p at 60hz options i can find

[fathom vapor]

does ebay ship to philippines? i dont trust Facebook marketplace very much unless the seller is close enough for me to pick it up by myself, if you're looking for stuff to pick up then its all good tho

[random gyro]

yep, but expensive shipping costs

[grizzled frost]

ebay doesn’t ship anything, they use other shipping companies

so it’s entirely dependent on the seller

[fathom vapor]

do they? didnt knew that, my bad then, still, their return policy in case of scam tends to favor more the buyer if i recall correctly

[random gyro]

i was originally gonna get a 16:10 display

found the perfect model too

its just that the shipping costs are SO DAMN EXPENSIVE!

200 usd shipping is NOT worth it for a second hand monitor from 2011 without a stand

[grizzled frost]

generally, yes

unless you buy something “as is”

[fathom vapor]

definitively not lol, and, by the way, whats your budget? since apparently im not asking anything after all might as well help you look for something

[grizzled frost]

NO ITS BACKWARDS

[fathom vapor]

oof, not even a nylon one either LMAO

[rough salmon]

Because of ram prices shooting ups steam deck will probs def cost over 1000 now

[random gyro]

50 buck and under

[fathom vapor]

well, thats tough... you may be forgetting about 1440p with that budget

[rough salmon]

U can have my monitor if u want bud, it’s 4k 60hz

[random gyro]

im finding something thats 16:10

[rough salmon]

I’m in the uk tho so tariff prices

[random gyro]

sure hehe >:)

[rough salmon]

Can give for £30 then u pay delivery or something cuz in the US it’s bad lmao

[random gyro]

how much from the uk to philippines

[rough salmon]

No idea gang

[fathom vapor]

for 4k 60hz it has to be quite some tariff to not make it worth it tho lmao

[random gyro]

:(

[fathom vapor]

hey dude, if you really are going to hook them up with a free 4k display you're a real one

[random gyro]

im taking my chances with older professional lcd monitors

[random gyro]

thx for the suggestion though

[fathom vapor]

i dont understand tho, if its in the uk, do the US tariffs apply? im way out of the loop when it comes to politics outside my country so forgive me this one xd

if its coming from UK to the philippines what does US have to do with anything lmao

[random gyro]

nothing

standard would cost 80 to 150 pounds

not bad

[fathom vapor]

what the actual fuck? i didnt expect it to be that high, i guess shipping overseas has some issues

i havent shipped shit in my whole life so im way out of touch lmao

[random gyro]

it is a 4K monitor after all

[fathom vapor]

nono, dont get me wrong, the offer as a whole is a no-brainer but damn that shipping is crazy, for that much money you might as well grab a quick flight with ryanair and back to get it yourself lmao /s

[ancient shale]

i heard somewhere that you shouldn't use PSU cables that weren't from your PSU, so is it bad to use custom PSU cables?

[steel umbra]

cables on the psu side are not specified

which means manufacturers can put any pin layout they want

[west kettle]

why are there 1060s going for $300 on amazon? who is buying them

and why

[clear hull]

would you guys still build am4 atp? My gf won't want more than 144fps at 1080p for 5 years at least

[steel umbra]

in simple terms, you can fry your components if you use cables that are not from your psu

in the better case the psu trips a protection and no damage occurs

[ancient shale]

i see. so how do people use custom psu cables, like from cablemod or whatever

[steel umbra]

you either get a type 4 for eg. cable set or check the pinout yourself

by looking at what pin layout your psu out has and your cables

[frail topaz]

🧑‍🍳

[steel umbra]

or get extensions that require no attention

but well, i assume space is an issue in your case

[hushed forge]

can someone recommend me a PSU

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/fT8mnp

[ivory mountain]

what an interesting combo

[foggy marsh]

The intel B580 is probably the best gpu i can get for around 250€ so do i get that or pay like 100 more for something better? from what i looked at it seems not worth it

[stark kiln]

T-Mobile is losing the plot cause wtf

[ashen cairn]

is it normal for my pc to occasionally hang dram for a bit before booting on post? i already enabled expo and it held the dram for ram training already, but its occasional tho doesnt happen all the time

[nimble frigate]

Anyone know the best settings for the 271QPX? Also can anyone help with HDR calibration?

[rough fable]

hi guys i bought an i9-12900ks will it be fine with a 360mm water cooler (its a cheap brand tho)? i know these cpus get quite hot

[south arrow]

Itll be fine. If upon boot its too hot just disable mutlicore enhancement in bios and itll drop 10c or so. Otherwise let it ride they do get up to 95c give or take. If you live in a hot climate can also learn how to set wattage but future things

[steel umbra]

it’s a feature!

exponentially worse speeds

aka EWS

[stark kiln]

Wifi so braindead I have to use hotspot

[dusk patio]

I'm trying to play Minecraft server with my friend

It quit 5 times and froze all the time

My wifi isn't even in a SINGLE megabyte zone

T-Mobile is either ragebaiting me or the plan my family got is the most dog shit bottom of the barrel one there is

Cannot even load anything at 240p on YouTube

[queen spire]

This is how much my ram is worth now😭 where do i go to sell it

[grizzled frost]

[ivory olive]

Will a 3x8pin 12vhpwr work on a 4070 super thats native 2x8pin 12vhpwr?

also will it work if I just plug 2 of the 3 x8 pin 12vhpwr adapter?

[grizzled frost]

yes

yes

[slender parcel]

can i have it for free? 😭

[vital mist]

Is razer synapse still terrible I want to get one of the razer mice but the last time I had a razer product it was on using razer synapse 2. I will not be using it to control rgb instead using Signal RGB

[honest rose]

has anyone else come across these fb marketplace listings all with similar pricing and a alphanumeric code at the end?
My feed is 80% filled with them all from new accounts which auto reply with an offsite link
how is this allowed??

[placid citrus]

fb marketplace

[mint umbra]

heard nvda not supplying parners with memorry for their gpus

[steel umbra]

it also happens on aliexpress

i don’t think it is allowed, you gotta report it

those listings are scam.

[honest rose]

I know zuck gave up on bot moderation so who cares anyways

[honest rose]

isn't memory sourced from other manufactures why would nvidia be handing it out

[steel umbra]

i haven’t bought from ebay or contacted through fbmp for a loooooong time

i use local marketplaces

[honest rose]

how does that work

[steel umbra]

no fees, no buyer protection though

[placid citrus]

yeah that's what I meant, it's facebook, it's just like that

[hardy horizon]

Wait ... Isn't there a free trial of GeForce now? Do you have to buy your games again In GeForce now versions to play?

[placid citrus]

I remember reporting the same ad like 5 times with increasingly extreme amounts of detail and effort and they just ignored it and kept blasting it

[steel umbra]

a site with listings that people post

it’s that simple

[placid citrus]

You can connect to your steam/epic/xbox to play games you already own

[steel umbra]

nothing fancy

[hardy horizon]

So if I want to play Black ops 7 this weekend but I have a Mac, and they chose not to make a Mac version. I could still play via GeForce now?

[honest rose]

yeah, the best deals often come from people who dont know what they're doing so fb excels there

[steel umbra]

i managed to get hands on old sennheiser hd560s through local marketplace for €100

including shipping

[honest rose]

either that or very overpriced "I know what I have!!"

[steel umbra]

i like the older version, it is also discontinued

[placid citrus]

Yeah I'd imagine so, someone wrote a looong post about the topic if you're interested in the perspective of someone who's actually used it like you want to https://www.reddit.com/r/GeForceNOW/comments/16sbq02/geforce_now_review_from_a_mac_user_perspective/

also this was the first post I saw when I accidentally clicked on the GeForceNOW subreddit instead of back to main reddit screen lol

[steel umbra]

bo7 already coming?

[hardy horizon]

He dives in like me analyzing every detail and I think that's really important when you're presenting the information that somebody may use later
because what you value is not the same as what they're going to value

[steel umbra]

bruh wasn’t bo6 like a year ago only

[hardy horizon]

Been out!

[steel umbra]

watttt

[hardy horizon]

Okay so Black ops 6 and 7 were started development at the same time and were parallel developed

seven definitely feels like a much more polished game than six and six felt like a very broken game that continued to be broken through its entire existence...

[steel umbra]

doesn’t feel very special spending $69.99 for either when they release so many of them

why just not make bo6 and put all effort into it

[placid citrus]

they decided to snort some strong stuff and the result was black ops releases back to back

[placid citrus]

noooo you don't get it they made BO6 50% off for black friday so it's only $50 now!!! omg!!

[steel umbra]

steam reviews: mostly negative

that’s all i need to know

i’m a free gaemer anyways now so why i care

[hardy horizon]

Because they needed a call of Duty game for last year and they didn't have one because negotiations broke down.

[hardy horizon]

Launched midnight the 14th

[steel umbra]

im slow don’t have to remind me

[hardy horizon]

Yeah I think that's more because of the campaign. I don't play multiplayer but I know that there was a ton of maps.
I only play zombies and I have found it to be one of the best zombie games I have ever played from the call of Duty franchise.

Not quite Black ops 2 or Black ops 4 zombie Chronicles good but pretty damn close

[steel umbra]

idk, feels like double cash takin

buy one buy two

$140 is more than $70

[hardy horizon]

Well so we just had the modern warfare come out which didn't really have a zombies mode.
. that was added in the last second... it just happened to be actually good! until they had the week-long game glitch for everything was duplicating and then all the sudden the game became not challenging.....

Amazing sense of community tho you would hop into a game and somebody like you here take these incredibly rare blueprints I have five of them 🤷

[placid citrus]

Sorry but are you saying you hit pres1 in the first 2 days but you weren't even top1% 💀 who are these methheads hitting pres1 earlier

[hardy horizon]

But there was no contract for a follow-up until very late and that's when they said nope we got to do six and seven at the same time seven storyline is between Black ops 2 and 3

[steel umbra]

it’s sad they push so much for deadlines only to release half baked products

[hardy horizon]

Yeah, 😭

[steel umbra]

hmmm 67

[hardy horizon]

"Made it to prestige lvl 30, not bad, could have double prestige and probably been around lvl 20 if I had done my normal COD launch marathon. "

-me at the end of the weekend

[steel umbra]

i want another bf1

i guess that won’t happen

[hardy horizon]

By the way my normal "launch Marathon" consists of:

• The game is released
• I play it for 30 hours straight
• I sleep for 6hours
• I play for another 30 hours straight
• sleep for another six
• play 8-10
• sleep 8
• go to work 🤣

[steel umbra]

what does 67 mean

i gave up on what all of the meme brainrots mean

[hardy horizon]

So yeah, I could have been top 3-4% with my usual dive in, but I don't even chase it I don't think the last call of Duty game that I did that with which would have been modern warfare I didn't bother to prestige cuz I didn't want to reset all my weapons.

[hardy horizon]

Some dude said he was 6-7 talking about height.

[hardy horizon]

Buy a pre built, check online 3rd part reviews.

The problem with trying to assist with what you're asking is although we could probably get you there... you're not going to know what to do once we get you there ... so then it becomes an extremely codependent relationship and nobody's going to be happy with that.

have a seasoning

[topaz shale]

why did it do that

[vast onyx]

Bro I didn’t but had a little bit of help building the pc I have now

I sent the parts in the channel

[hardy horizon]

Yes, surprised it's a planned Community built by the same developer that built the community 30 miles to the Southwest both are just full of old people ... although not technically age restricted ... but all the housing communities are so it's age restricted...

[hardy horizon]

No you don't the smoke still in there!!

[steel umbra]

high quality seasoning

everyone loves getting flashbanged by their psu

[hardy horizon]

No you didn't so we will speedrun this

What's broken?

[vast onyx]

Check the channel

[hardy horizon]

Yooo I can smell it, kind of smells like plastic burning

Oh never mind one of my more .... Street .... Friends come over the other day and tell me when I smell that it's because my neighbors are smoking me thany ... So I should probably get up and close my windows

[hardy horizon]

Nothing that's in this list is EOL per say.
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/mX9P3w

• What r u trying to do, like what's the scope.

• You blew the GPU up????

[vast onyx]

What’s eol

Like I said just wanna upgrade my pc

I feel like if I do that the problems will go away

[hardy horizon]

• To what?
• For what?

[hardy horizon]

No guarantee on that

[vast onyx]

I wanna change the gpu someone told me the reason I have coil whine is because of the manufacture Asrock

[hardy horizon]

I.e.
"I want to upgrade to a 1080 ti so that way I can use 4K hi resolution texture packs"

[night carbon]

Anyone knows how to get an m.2 recognizable in the bios i upgraded my cpu and motherboard but it won’t boot

[vast onyx]

Change case and cpu and add more fans

[hardy horizon]

Or .. conversely

• "I want to use high resolution texture packs that I currently don't have the vram for, XXX is what I have now. What would be a good upgrade"

[steel umbra]

[hardy horizon]

I mean ... Maybe, so you are just mad it's noisy?
All of these gpus can have coal wine, some are more susceptible than others, but there's no guarantee that a certain manufacturer will have zero coil wine. Because it also has to do with your power supply filtering ability.

[vast onyx]

oh I see in that case I plan to change my power supply as well

[hardy horizon]

• Disconnect all other drives and see if it shows up - then verify that your m.2 is not disabled in the bios - also physically verify it that you installed it properly.

[vast onyx]

Can we talk dms?

[steel umbra]

what’s your motherboard model

[vast onyx]

Me?

[steel umbra]

yes

[vast onyx]

MSI

[steel umbra]

model

[hardy horizon]

No ... Because I already told you what my advice is, which I think that a pre-built would probably be best for the level of technical know-how based on how you have already presented.

Because again like I said, if we provide an excessive amount of assistance, you're going to have an expectation that we will continue providing assistance as a community and then it becomes codependent and then everyone starts hating each other.

[vast onyx]

^ parts right here

[vast onyx]

Alr

[hardy horizon]

By the way what's happening right above this is also why dms don't make sense . because you asked in a community place so you want Community input ... if you just want single person input, you just search Reddit for "good computer builds" and then just buy that.

Nvm I got someone else to help mb for all the trouble

[hardy horizon]

Is this a new m.2 or did you verify that it worked prior to all of this

[tulip grotto]

Forgive me if this is a stupid question, but does it matter what case I get? Just pick any case off the internet?

[night carbon]

It worked before I plugged it from the old into the new board

[grizzled frost]

generally, yes

[night carbon]

If you want I can call so I can show stuff

[hardy horizon]

Uhh okay

[tulip grotto]

ok thx

[hardy horizon]

No that's quite alright.
Knowing that it worked in its previous board let you know that, in theory, (unless you killed it during the transplant) it's a functional drive.

Cms is enabled

[hardy horizon]

Well you know it was working beforehand, unless you did something ridiculous, it is somewhat unlikely that it's dead... it's possible ... but the fact that we have the data point that it was previously working means we're going to assume that it is NOT dead until it is proven to be dead.

[hardy horizon]

Umm some motherboards disable a m.2 slot if you use a certain pcie slot... That is motherboard model specific.

It should be under advance?

😭 I was trying not to end up inside of motherboard BIOS manuals tonight

[night carbon]

We live in bios wdym

whoever the server owner is give @hardy horizon a raise he workin mad hard

M_2 or like m.2_ xxx is what you are looking for iircc on how Asus names things

[hardy horizon]

Can't find it Don't Go changing a bunch of stuff just let me know and I'll try to find the manual

[night carbon]

The m.2 is on auto haven’t done stuff to it

[hardy horizon]

Okay, was this slot previously working with an m.2 or is this the first time you've put an m.2 into it?

[night carbon]

If it helps I have a b650 from Asus

First time m.2 into it

[hardy horizon]

no

[hardy horizon]

what spots have you used?

you can just circle/color

[hardy horizon]

oh shoit

[night carbon]

I used the upper number 6 for the m.2

[hardy horizon]

i ment the M.2 and the GPU slots, my bad

[night carbon]

GPU is top en m.2 is top slot

[hardy horizon]

the top one, between CPU and GPU slot?

[night carbon]

Yes

[hardy horizon]

m2_1 connects to CPU with no restrictions,

lets look at bios

[grim moon]

What m.2 is it? How is it keyed?

[night carbon]

I am in bios now I am completely out of my comfort zone XD

[hardy horizon]

advanced- onboard devices-

[night carbon]

Idk and wdym with keyed?

[grim moon]

You don't know what m.2 ssd you bought?

[night carbon]

I am there

[night carbon]

It’s an ssd from 4 ish years ago

[hardy horizon]

advanced- onboard devices- "PCIE link speed " do you see taht last one?

[night carbon]

Between then and now I am 6 gun shot wounds and 5 deployments further in life 😂😂

[night carbon]

All on auto

[hardy horizon]

m.2_1 Link Mode should say "auto"

[grim moon]

An ssd from 4 years ago doesn't help unfortunately

[hardy horizon]

everything looks good in that screen go back to home

[night carbon]

I’m there

[hardy horizon]

put it in EZ MODE

(f7)

[night carbon]

On it

[hardy horizon]

what does it say in red box

[hardy horizon]

alright do you know the model code fro the SSD?

[night carbon]

250GB M.2 Solid State Drive (Crucial MX500

Correction it’s 6 years old I have to take it out back and shoot it

[hardy horizon]

because i believe i show no SATA supprt on this mobo for m.2

i think

asus has this wierd X instead of "no"

[night carbon]

I think my m.2 is then just outdated as fuck

[hardy horizon]

well NVME is pciE protocal. Sata is teh same as teh sata ports, just in a diffrent form factor

[grim moon]

That's m and b keyed m.2. Your mobo is m key support only

That's why I asked what m.2 is was earlier

[night carbon]

Ahh okay so I have to change the m.2

[grim moon]

Gotta get one thats m keyed

[hardy horizon]

nevermind that motherboard does NOT support SATA portocal M.2 drives

[hardy horizon]

i mean he could install so its keyed correctly? but he needs a "NVME m.2"

[grim moon]

And you can do a data transfer using an external chassis for m.2 drives. Sabrent has a good one that works for m and b keys

[hardy horizon]

ugreen

[grim moon]

Slot does not have support for that type of m.2 is the issue

[night carbon]

Good to knwo

[grim moon]

Ran into the same issue with my old drive going to my new pc

[night carbon]

Got any recomandations for new m.2 ?

Personally I was looking at a Samsung 990

[grim moon]

Crucial P3 has been working good for me but there's a bunch of different options

[hardy horizon]

this does both NVME and SATA m.2 over USB
some don't do BOTH.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DN5ZM2ZR/

[hardy horizon]

right buyt physically they were able to inatll it. so key isnt enough, need to eb NVME

[grim moon]

Yeah thats a good enclosure too

[grim moon]

It says in the manual it only supports m key

Just because it fits doesn't mean its compatible

There are slots that are m key only and support both but this is not the case here

[hardy horizon]

im a "NON-QLC" EVER guy, so i will sit this one out. i only use samsung PRO at this point

[hardy horizon]

right which is why key (physical restriction) doent matter. he just needs an "NVME m.2"

[grim moon]

I wasn't asking due to physical restriction, I was asking just to compare to the manual but I get ya

[hardy horizon]

here this one is cheaper https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07MNFH1PX/ does both sata and NVME portical, and is the one i actually use. (if you wanna get teh data off that 250GB drive)

[hardy horizon]

how nerdy you wanna get?

https://www.techpowerup.com/ssd-specs/?f=type~size&q=

[night carbon]

Yes

It’s 0427 here just had a tasty white monster hit me baby

[hardy horizon]

im halfway througgh a NOS becuase i didnt realize it was after 8PM here ... guess imma be up late waitchingYT

[ancient shale]

how much do you guys think i could get selling this old PC? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/8JCcWc

[night carbon]

Yea… Yt….

[hardy horizon]

okay so i dont like QLC, some say they are "fine" i dispise them. MLC/TLC only for me. TBH i just buy Samsung at this point as almost all my SSD's i have aquired over teh years are Samsung.
i have not tried a gen 5 to see if the 9100 FEELS like it is worth teh premium over the 990 Pro

[hardy horizon]

yeah lol. nothing else to watch,

tho feel kinda silly finally got hoem internet after leik a year, just watch the same things on wifi instead of cellular 💀💀💀

[night carbon]

So the 9100 is the gen 5 I tought it was the 990

Damm I feel dumb atm 😂

[hardy horizon]

and that means i dont need multiple programs to update firmware. magaciaon does it all and ive never felt its "weight" on teh system

[hardy horizon]

they may both be (IDK havent checked) buy 9100 is faster by liek what double?

im a "I wanna go fast" so if i woudl proably just buy a 1TB for OS/ boot drive, then buy a larger slower drive for liek mass storage

unless $$ deosnt matter, then ball TF out king!

that is ..... a LOT cheaper than i thought it would be ....

[night carbon]

Dollars are not really on the problem list aslong as my gril doesn’t see the bills… but deployment money helps with covering stuff up

[hardy horizon]

i paid $600 for QLC 8TB over SATA 6 (550MB/s)

[night carbon]

8tb but why

Imma keep it at 1 maybe 2

That will be a 4-8x expansion 😂

[vast onyx]

yo @hardy horizon

i just found out on task maanger even when im not gaming my gpu would be at 100%

just staying like that is that normal?

\

[hardy horizon]

yeah look at this .... i would 9100 ALL DAY over this

[hardy horizon]

why,?check task managerr for what is using GPU like that.

[hardy horizon]

all the games all teh time :p

[night carbon]

Ark asa be like 😂

[vast onyx]

?

[hardy horizon]

i dont have a window mechine rn so can only help guide so much

[vast onyx]

how i check

alr its good i just wanna know if its normal

[hardy horizon]

no

[night carbon]

Ohh ark asandent breaks GPU’s sometimes

[vast onyx]

is that a game I dont have it

never dowlaoded it

[night carbon]

I have an older gen (2 years old) as extra disc work good for some games but that’s about it

[hardy horizon]

task manager click the top tab for GPU to sort by useage

[night carbon]

The worse remast of ark survival

[hardy horizon]

i just have base ark

i think

we had a bronto 😍

[night carbon]

After 15k hours I got bored of ark and moved to the remaster to prolong my suffering and keep the couch gremlin happy

[vast onyx]

i thinky gpu might be fried bro

[hardy horizon]

i liked it, but it was more the playing with friends

[plain cypress]

That's not too bad

@hardy horizon I got another laptop for you to buy

[hardy horizon]

chat, is seeing GPU in task manager something you have to toggle on?

[vast onyx]

alr bro not cool ragebait

[hardy horizon]

uhh no, not enough VRAM

[night carbon]

Tbh not I have seen worse

[vast onyx]

how i enable it

[hardy horizon]

im literally asking, i dont have windows to check!

[vast onyx]

oh i thought u was trolling me

[hardy horizon]

isnt that also 1080p just 16:10?

🤮

[hardy horizon]

seems overpriced NGL

umm ... thats not normal

[hardy horizon]

try restarting discord, see if it still does that

[plain cypress]

Gaming

[hardy horizon]

yeah but gonna look like crap stretched out to 16 inches when you sit 10-14 inches from the screen

[hardy horizon]

i run the MBP at true native for reference lol

[vast onyx]

it was good after i wasnt in discord

[hardy horizon]

so now everything is fine?

did you update windows and teh AMD drivers?

[raw ocean]

Howdy yall

I emailed evga and they sent me a replacement cable set for my GQ series psu which was super awesome n all but they didn’t send a sata cable which was the only one i needed most 😭 . They did however send a molex power cable, so i’m wondering if i can say f**k it and walk over to canada computers to buy their adapter? (Molex male to SATA male)

[hardy horizon]

https://www.amd.com/en/support/download/drivers.html let it auto detect and update everything

[vast onyx]

yea

[plain cypress]

Yeah but it's a mobile 5070

If you want to actually game on the laptop screen, 1080p is unfortunately still where laptops are at

[vast onyx]

i didnt buy windows key code yet

but amd drives yea

[plain cypress]

A mobile 5070 is nowhere near a desktop 5070

[hardy horizon]

i know which is DOA due to vram. that why i said its over priced. 750-850 MAX for 5070 (for gaming laptop)

[hardy horizon]

can u not update windows?

[hardy horizon]

5070TI or 5080, (i have 4090m) and 1440p 14 - class screen.

[plain cypress]

It's overpriced for the performance, but it's not overpriced for what you can get in a gaming laptop.

That's actually a decent price for a 5070 laptop. Gaming laptop pricing sucks in general

[hardy horizon]

" '16″ 3.2k (3200 x 2000), Mini LED, 16:10 aspect ratio, 165Hz refresh rate(3ms response time), 100% Adobe, 100% DCI-P3, 1200 nits, up to VESA DisplayHDR™ 1000 Certified, Dolby Vision® support, NVIDIA® G-SYNC™ support, TÜV Rheinland Certified"

i run games at 1440p, i try to avoid ray tracing though, even ran wayy down in the slums of 1080p, ray tracing is just too heavy, and that kills the whole point of RT which was realistic immersion.... kinda hard to be immersed when you are running 40-45 FPS in a first person shooter.

[plain cypress]

I ain't reading all that

But like I said, gaming laptops are priced way to high in general for the actual GPU performance

[hardy horizon]

$1299 for 5070 ti ... so why are you paying $1,100 for a gpu thats already outdated?

[plain cypress]

A $1300 5070ti laptop is also a good deal, actually a better deal for sure

It's one of those "if you can spend the extra, it's absolutely worth it"

[hardy horizon]

yeah but teh delta between 5070 and 5070TI mobile is HUGE

$950-1k for 5060/5070. above that just jump to 70ti

[hardy horizon]

the top half is teh display specs LOL

[hardy horizon]

so everything is fixed?

[vast onyx]

im on discord on website rn mb but for some reason i cant run discord app without my task manger being at 100%

it might just be my gpu messsed up

[hardy horizon]

uninstall discord, redownload and reinstall

[clear canyon]

What is your pc specs?

[vast onyx]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/mX9P3w

[vast onyx]

yea bro i think my gpu just cooked

[hardy horizon]

run furmark and see

[clear canyon]

Yeah def discord being fucky

[hardy horizon]

if it broken, its broken

[vast onyx]

whats furmark

[vast onyx]

wym?

[clear canyon]

Furry mark

[vast onyx]

huh

[clear canyon]

The install being fucked

[hardy horizon]

thats why i told them to uninstall then reinstall

[clear canyon]

I was joking, furmark is a benchmark to test stability of ur pc

[vast onyx]

i have coil whine to prob a another sign of a bad gpu

[hardy horizon]

*GPU

[hardy horizon]

no it means nothing

[clear canyon]

Coil while is just ur fans being loud

[vast onyx]

alr so i jus dowlaoded furmark?

[clear canyon]

All fans has it

Yes

[vast onyx]

alr 1 sec

this?

[hardy horizon]

open task manager to that performance screen (so you can watch temps)

open furmark - GPU stress test-

[hardy horizon]

yes https://geeks3d.com/furmark/downloads/

do the 64 "setup" one

"furmark 2"

[hardy horizon]

let us know what happens

[vast onyx]

ok

is it called ace?

[hardy horizon]

????

the middle one

big orange bttn after that

[vast onyx]

yo

i have to send a video check the folder ok? the one with my issue its a video regarding my gpu beeing cooked

https://discord.com/channels/375436620578684930/1441285812212863089

[hardy horizon]

just run furmark, it will crash, or freak out with jagged blocks if its messed up

[vast onyx]

alr but did u check it

is that normal

[hardy horizon]

this is how a Bad GPU will behave in furmark https://youtu.be/3sy4XRhitJ8?si=t91ZIEUDbwOCRe_u

[vast onyx]

alr which do i dowaloded

[hardy horizon]

maybe, but could also be discord is curropted or windows needs an update.

[hardy horizon]

#tech-chat-1 message

then click #tech-chat-1 message

[vast onyx]

middle?

i dowlaoded it and made me get sum ace engine

[hardy horizon]

"win 64 -setup"

[hardy horizon]

you clicke dteh wrong thing .....

so uninstall that ....

[vast onyx]

ya i did

win 64 set alr mb

this?

[hardy horizon]

"win64- setup"

next page big orange button that says "Geeks3d Server"

as i showed above in detail

[vast onyx]

alr done mb for the issues

[hardy horizon]

click artifact scanner, then run test

[vast onyx]

this the percent when its running the test

[hardy horizon]

everything looks normal so far, run it for 15 minutes and see if it gets artifacts, if not, its fone

*fine

[agile stag]

ive had an amount of gpu issues be fixable via driver issued and stuff

[agile stag]

yeah itll do uh molex iirc is higher power than saya

sata*

im pretty sure you can even do pcie to molex safely but id double check because you cant ever trust people on discord

[vast onyx]

yo anyone here is this bad or good

[hardy horizon]

that was after running for 15 minutes?

[vast onyx]

Like

Prob 3 or 2

Had to do sum

Ima do it again tho

[hardy horizon]

run it for a full 15 we are looking for stability issues

[vast onyx]

Alright mb g

[hardy horizon]

because im prettyr sure i knwo what teh wierd behavior is, but 1st gotta make sure it isnt a blown up gpu liek you think

[vast onyx]

Quick question what do you guys think about the 9060 xt? my friend says its would be good, but hes not sure and thinks a 7000 series card might be better

[hardy horizon]

on average you are 8% faster, but teh 9000 series has fsr4 if you want that

[random gyro]

"youre welcome"

[vast onyx]

are u tryna hypnotize me

[quasi moat]

That’s how they got me to buy a 5090

[golden sage]

not too shabby i must say (The Finals)

[hardy horizon]

until ppl stop buying shit in GTA V they will keep pushing back.

watch it be a monthly subscription game likle WOW

[vast onyx]

4mins left

[sonic stream]

uhm so im playing a game, and im right click dragging my mouse to move my game cam, the mouse cursor moves while im dragging sometimes. how do i fix this lol

[vast onyx]

1 more min should i just send it rn?

[random gyro]

how it feels to download minecraft mod apk: (it was full of malware)

[hardy horizon]

have you seen anything crazy?

[vast onyx]

this what it looks lik rn

idk why my gpu at 99%

[hardy horizon]

awesome, run teh AMD update tool, run the windows update, it looks like nothing is wrong with your GPU.

[raw ocean]

Alr ty for confirmation, i’ll follow up with canada computers staff tmr abt specs and other things if any 👍

[hardy horizon]

it shoudl be when being stress tested

[pulsar root]

Anyone think that in the future of pc building, windows will become less and less popular OS?

[hardy horizon]

not until biz start running away from it

[vast onyx]

update in amd app?

[hardy horizon]

yeah teh AMD driver update tool, for your Chipset and GPU

[hardy horizon]

the data they collect, they coudl just make windows free

[pulsar root]

Oh I see

But would Linux become a more popular system later on

[hardy horizon]

sweet and the chipset is updated too? so just windows updates you cant do because not paid for?

[hardy horizon]

not if windows if free, basically if windows is free and linuzx is free, its going to be what is teh easiest to use with teh most compatability

[pulsar root]

Oh

[hardy horizon]

even if windows is mining data to be free, consumers dont care sadly

[vast onyx]

How do I check chipset what app

[vast onyx]

Yeah I didn’t pay for it yet

[hardy horizon]

they are dumb enough to pay a monthly subscription and STILL allow companies t o run ads .........

[hardy horizon]

#tech-chat-1 message

[pulsar root]

Wait are you saying Microsoft is Dumb for running monthly subscriptions ?

[hardy horizon]

huh? oh no thats a netflix /prime / hulu dig

[pulsar root]

Oh ok

Wait what are they paying Microsoft for?

[hardy horizon]

consumers showuld have thrown a fit!, was one thing when prime with ads was 30 seconds per 90 minutes of content ..... its not 10-15 minutes total on a 90 minute movie......

[pulsar root]

Prime video has ads??!!

[hardy horizon]

microsoft collects data to sell. so they dont have to actually charge for windows licences. but do because teh markety lets them. if teh market starts running to free options windows will have a "free" version. bith will be free, but consumers will use the easier one.

even if linux doesnt sell their data, consumers are blind to that

[hardy horizon]

YES

[hardy horizon]

and when you pause a item will pop up with "buy now" and "Add to cart" ...it offered me a $700 item last night ........

[pulsar root]

Collect data through bing ?

[hardy horizon]

for me to buy .... with my remote ..... from my TV .... on a paid subscription.... that wont do 4K on PC ....

[hardy horizon]

no windows, and everything else microsoft offers

[pulsar root]

Wait so Microsoft knows everything people are using windows for
