One does not simply ever, get out of Linux.

[rigid fjord]

using the wrong flavour i guess

[cold skiff]

Once you’re a Vegan equivalent for an OS you will always stay that way

[night granite]

absolutely, I needed something simpler, but I am EXTREMELY stubborn

nix was my first linux experience

[cold skiff]

You’d be a good vegan

[night granite]

(I spent a week figuring out how to get my wifi to work)

[rigid fjord]

should have used eith pop!os or bazzite if you want to play games

[rigid fjord]

only if he proves he can't hunt can he be called a vegan

[sleek ibex]

[plush wren]

[random gyro]

trump or obama 🔥 (non political)

[sleek ibex]

Should we call a wellness check on Linus?

[ionic peak]

nah its nothing

call him after 3k hours

[lapis talon]

Are there any microphones similar to the Quadcast S?

[night granite]

I do NOT know how to hunt

[azure topaz]

idk i paid 250$ for mine

[night granite]

how long ago?

I mean, personally, I underload the SHIT out of my cpu

it sits at like 30c and I dont want it any higher

[azure topaz]

this time

[night granite]

so I dont need such power as a nicer mobo would provide

[night granite]

yeah, I was looking at them back then

then when it came time to get mine, there were none

so I got the b series

[azure topaz]

L

[night granite]

I mean, not like it matters, yet again, I do NOT need such qualities

[livid fern]

[night granite]

under 100% extreme stress my cpu gets to like 47c because I've neutered it

[rigid fjord]

did you manage to see about the titan

[livid fern]

No more info 🙁

[night granite]

does tech chat yap about cameras ever? I'm not in here too often so I wouldnt know

[azure topaz]

strange

[thorny saddle]

LOL this is funny

whoopsie TPU!

[peak swan]

Huawei liquid glass
P9 lite mini is the model
All stock too

[rigid fjord]

have you done any mods to your 3d printer?

[rigid fjord]

damn, that sucks

[tacit star]

Will fans connected to this splitter work as 3-or 4-pin?

[rigid fjord]

they'll work as 4 pin, the only thing that's disabled is the tachometer sensor pin for those coming from the pigtails?

[tacit star]

I have two fans, should I connect both to the 3 pins or one to the 4?

[tacit star]

Is the tach important

[rigid fjord]

only for the first fan to be connected to it as that reports back to the mobo what speed the fans are doing

[rigid fjord]

one to the 4 pin, and one on a 3 pin

how the spliter and some basic fan hubs are wired up

the more slightly fancier powered hubs

[warm saddle]

is normal that i have something like a coil whine sound from the parts of the motherboard around CPU? it can be heard even if i dont do anything. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1128014035313504478/1444443569372008645/IMG_1341.mov?ex=692cba67&is=692b68e7&hm=5ea3c730cc5548d1ca4a8c2ad3fa9dcc7e278e17997037de56ae32a5d752b0eb&

[round scaffold]

Would you guys recommend me installing the aio onto motherboard before putting it in the case or after putting it in the case

[wheat torrent]

Its so dense

[tacit star]

I see, I connected the first fan there

[frigid blade]

Guys do you think this is a good deal for my buddy? I’m upgrading my build and selling my old parts in a bundle, 13900kf, z790-c, it’s some B tier PSU that ran my 4090, AIO, 32gb ddr5 6000 RAM, for $650?

[tacit star]

Should I leave it like this?

[frigid blade]

The main discount is im not charging anywhere close to market value for the RAM

$100

Idrc about it, I’ve had it for years (not used)

[tacit star]

Should the CPU fans be in auto or PWM mode, also how about smart fan?

[frigid blade]

PSU gives them an upgrade path for the GPU, 13900kf should be competitive for a while

[tacit star]

I completely disregard DC

[rigid fjord]

yes, as the first fan sets the speed for all other fans on a hub/splitter

[rigid fjord]

actually bit of a bargain for that

[frigid blade]

I thought so, I’m trying not to go too low but I think it’s OK for used

And then idk what to do with the case

[wheat torrent]

CPU seems to be sold 300-350 USD on eBay
Mobo should be around 100 on eBay

[frigid blade]

Yah that’s how I priced it

[wheat torrent]

50 aio
80 ram (not the current prices)

I mean it seems like you're offering him a eBay priced deal

[rigid fjord]

mobo is more like 150 tbh

[wheat torrent]

Except without the RAM price spike

[wheat torrent]

Perhance, I saw a few 790c for 99 on eBay

[rigid fjord]

what aio was you using with it

[frigid blade]

I have no clue, one sec

It’s iBuyPower branded

[wheat torrent]

I think it should be a decent deal

[frigid blade]

It’s a pre built I bought on eBay for a bargain at the time

[rigid fjord]

ah, so possibly a coolermaster one or similar but rebranded then

because ibuypower likes to do this kinda shit

[frigid blade]

Well at least they’re not buying like completely shit ones

[rigid fjord]

do you not know of the master leakers?

[frigid blade]

No

Thankfully, this one has been running fine for like

A lot of years

[rigid fjord]

cooler master aio's, ML line nicknamed as masterleakers because the pipes broke and leaked

[frigid blade]

lol

[winter swift]

YO

WTF ARE THESE PRICES

[frigid blade]

4 dimm kits probably even worse because there’s so little of them in the first place

[rigid fjord]

the smoking crack prices

[frigid blade]

5600 only too, lol

Would most 5400 kits OC to 6000 easily?

[winter swift]

depends on manufacturer idk?

all i can say is i can kiss my pc build goodbye

[rigid fjord]

with ddr5 people should only get a pair of sticks, and for the better part 5200-5600 is the likely speeds you get with manual tuining using 4 sticks in most cases

[frigid blade]

Why would you ever use 4 ddr5 dimms

[rigid fjord]

i could only see it being viable for the likes of threadripper

[winter swift]

i was js searching for ram sticks on a good price, never intend buy 4 ddr5 sticks

didnt even know ts was possible

[frigid blade]

you never saw the 4 slots on a motherboard?

[rigid fjord]

it's possible but you sacrifice alot of speed

[latent pasture]

buy x3d cpu to compensate

[winter swift]

mostly found boards with 2 slots

tbf i was mostly look on itx and matx boards

but hold on

why do i lose speed with more ram slots?

[tawny fossil]

Here are my upgrade options from 3050 75w 6gb
5700xt
Rx 6600
Rtx 3060

[frigid blade]

We shall see in 9 days rauko, that’s when I come back from visiting my gf and start the OC missions on my 4 dimms

6000 is the goal

[latent pasture]

what prices
3060 is the best one but if its triple the price then obv not

[tawny fossil]

If I wait I could get either a 5050 or a 6700xt

[frigid blade]

Oh yah @azure topaz forgot to tell you we gotta postpone 9 days

[tawny fossil]

Nearly around the same surprisingly

[tawny fossil]

Would it be more worth it to wait until the end of the year @latent pasture

[latent pasture]

5050 is out

[tawny fossil]

My wallet is not

[frigid blade]

5060 sold for $200 on newegg a few days ago

[rigid fjord]

going to be a ton of manual tuning for it, but by default running 4 sticks of ddr5 puts you at something like 3600 cl40

[frigid blade]

4800

That’s JEDEC default minimum or something

At least that’s what mine run at

[rigid fjord]

that's if your lucky, and 3600 is a jedec spec also for ddr5

[frigid blade]

We did it before, got to 5600 before started becoming unstable, but I’ve just upgraded IMC, and mobo

[tawny fossil]

5050 is being sold at retailers for 14k egp
5700xt is being sold secondhand for around 9k egp at local stores
6700xt is being sold secondhand for around
14-15k egp
3060 is being sold for around 12k egp (12gb version)
Rx 6600 is being sold for around 10k egp
Sidenote 1k egp = 20$

[frigid blade]

I wanna hit that 6k

5070 OC is getting a door buster deal on Newegg soon @tawny fossil

Might wanna wait and see what it is

[tawny fossil]

@latent pasture

[latent pasture]

wheres rtx 40 and rx 7000

[rigid fjord]

what's a 9060xt's price?

[tawny fossil]

Rtx 4060 is automatically disqualified

[frigid blade]

9070xt is also getting a door buster deal in 2 days on Newegg

[latent pasture]

why? if the price is fine whats wrong wtih it

the rtx 5050 ur getting is literally 4060 perf

and 8gb vram

[frigid blade]

Maybe in frame gen

[tawny fossil]

Well they're being sold for 25k egp or 500$ but around black Friday they were actually being sold for msrp and they might start selling them for msrp

[tawny fossil]

It's the same prime as 5060

[latent pasture]

lol no

[tawny fossil]

And used same price as new 5050

So it is automatically disqualified

[latent pasture]

has rx 9060 non xt gotten to ur location yet

[tawny fossil]

Nope

Rx 9060xt at MSRP is a possible option at the end of the year if they start selling them for msrp

Or near msrp

18-20k egp

[frigid blade]

4060 has more raw performance

[tawny fossil]

But I am not so sure but I am kinda sure that the 6700xt has better preformance than the 9060xt

[latent pasture]

5050 is on avg 2% slower than 4060
basically an error lol

[tawny fossil]

Rx 7600 is disqualified for being the same price as the 5060

[frigid blade]

Not in game

[latent pasture]

yes in game

[frigid blade]

What benchmarks are you looking at?

[latent pasture]

if you wanna play the "uhhh but in this 1 game 4060 is 30% better"
then i can bring you a bunch of games where rtx 4060 ti is 200% better than rx 7900xtx

[frigid blade]

I’m looking at average

[cold skiff]

It’s pretty much on par with it in raster

If you can get a 6700xt cheaper, just get that tbh

If you can get the 9060xt 16gb* cheaper - get that

[latent pasture]

tomshardware and techpowerup avg

[tawny fossil]

I'm narrowing it down to at the end of the year probably
Rx 6700xt،rx 9060xt 16gb,rtx 5060 8gb

[cold skiff]

6700xt probably 5fps or average slower tbh

[tawny fossil]

5050 stays a possible option given price drops

[cold skiff]

Fucking lol

[tawny fossil]

It's price might drop to 12k egp at any moment

[cold skiff]

You’re not seriously going to buy a 5050

[latent pasture]

? whats wrong if the price is fine

[tawny fossil]

I don't see why not if it's cheap and preforms well I buy

[latent pasture]

people absolutely devour the youtube thumbnails of waaah any rtx 40 and 50 bad waaah 😭😭 dont buy avoid at all costs waaah 😭😭

without even thinking that prices are different for some people

[tawny fossil]

That's why I am happy with my 12100f but I am selling the cpu and motherboard which will cover the price of a 13400f and I will get a b760 for an extra hundred dollars

[latent pasture]

this is new information
i vote to keep the 12100f and put all the budget to better gpu

[tawny fossil]

9060xt is what I want to buy but I only buy if I can find it within my budget

[tawny fossil]

My motherboard is proper gobshite

[cold skiff]

This is the massive performance bracket you’re considering. If you buy a 5050 and you’re also considering a 9060xt 16gb - you’re stupid.

[latent pasture]

doesnt affect performance for this tier of cpus
unless ur actually running out of usb slots etc

[tawny fossil]

Wait 3070 is a possible option

[tawny fossil]

unfortunately I am and I don't even have any neat accessories bro

[cold skiff]

It’s way better than the ewaste you said you would buy

[latent pasture]

what r u plugging in

id sooner say buy a cheap usb splitter than revamp ur entire setup

[tawny fossil]

Keyboard mouse phone to use as webcam microphone
And all my USB slots are gone.

[latent pasture]

thats 3

[tawny fossil]

That's 4

You forgot the microphone

[latent pasture]

then thats 4
what else did u want to plug in

[tawny fossil]

I have 3 up top but my case is also not the best and refuses to recognizes some devices

[tawny fossil]

My motherboard has 4 USB slots

[latent pasture]

usb dongle is like 150 egb

[tawny fossil]

It's only going to be a 100$ or 5000egp difference to get a new motherboard and a 13400f

The 13400f will help me do some things I want to do as well

[latent pasture]

meanwhile if u put that budget to gpu, ur getting like +30-50% performance

the lower end u are, the more every bit can contribute to a huge upgrade

[jovial swan]

in todays european market how much would my pc go for if i was to sell?
Ryzen 7 7700
asus TUF a620-plus
32 GB kingston fury DDR5
1 TB MSI M371 SSD
gigabyte windforce RTX 4070
650 watt deepcool pk650D PSU
azza spectra case

[tawny fossil]

Yeah that's sort of true but I want to upgrade so I can keep it for a good bit and I think I'd use the extra cores.
Well I don't think I actually would but I can't

[tawny fossil]

Can I have it I will give you 200$ and some pizza for it 🙏

[cold skiff]

I just got warshipped for short handing @tawny fossil name 🤦‍♂️

Warship even changes to your actual discord handle

[tawny fossil]

@tawny fossil

[latent pasture]

i mean, putting the money to gpu achieves this

[jovial swan]

no

[tawny fossil]

Lol j was being sarcastic hole you didn't get offended

[jovial swan]

https://tenor.com/view/i-don't-know-idk-idk-about-that-gif-7336250873949261946

[latent pasture]

the "good enough cpu" threshold is much easier to achieve in most workloads than gpu

[cold skiff]

Remove the gaming from your name and say it

[tawny fossil]

Oh

[cold skiff]

Yeah

[tawny fossil]

I see

[latent pasture]

these are 'mid tier' 70 series gpus and u can see even going as old as 9th gen or zen2 (both of which worse than 12100f btw) one can argue u arent losing much perf

[tawny fossil]

My name offends so many people like broski this is just a fucking name not a warcrime violation

[tawny fossil]

I mean 12100f has insane single core preformance

For the price

[night granite]

lga 1700 gang

[tawny fossil]

🤗

Lga 1700 my beloved

Lga 1700 is better than am5 objectively interms of value

I know you guys love Nvidia but come on

[lapis talon]

Give me the ram sticks for $50 each 💀

[arctic furnace]

Can anyone help me with this??

[latent pasture]

ye that 32gb ram is gold now

rather you not get rid of it

[lapis talon]

Should've invested before

[arctic furnace]

@latent pasture

[cold skiff]

LGA 1718 is the real hero

[latent pasture]

wat

[lapis talon]

As long as SO DIMM laptop ram doesn't skyrocket in prices

[arctic furnace]

How cooked am i?

[lapis talon]

I bought a Quadcast S microphone instead of a ram stick for my laptop

[cold skiff]

And PGA1331 is the GOAT socket

[night granite]

what you got? a 12100f?

[tawny fossil]

Yes

[lapis talon]

W pfp

[night granite]

I have a 12700kf

[cold skiff]

AM5 is a lga1718

[night granite]

its been fun

[tawny fossil]

Nice I'm getting a 13400f soon in like march

[night granite]

why not a 14100f?

I've heard really good things

[latent pasture]

the i3s r all the same cpu

[night granite]

really?

[lapis fog]

Anyone able to take a look at my parts list make sure everything looks good? Not really looking for any optimizations just making sure everything is compatible and makes sense

[latent pasture]

12100f to 14100f r all 4c8t 12th gen cpu
the difference is like going from 4.1 4.2 4.3ghz
basically get whatevers cheapest

[tawny fossil]

@latent pasture so realestically I'll have 12000 egp or 240$ to upgrade
I might do a slight upgrade to the 5700xt

[latent pasture]

amd has indicated they might eol rx 5000 and 6000

so thats another -point to that

[lapis talon]

Oh I had a question for you

[night granite]

with slight slight overclocking, a 12100f is a 14100f?

[tawny fossil]

But what about doing it as a temporary less than 1 year upgrade until I can afford to upgrade to 9060xt 16gb

[lapis talon]

The Ryzen 7 260 in my legion 5, does it have separate efficiency and performance cores?

[latent pasture]

bruh u can google that

[lapis talon]

Ik but idk the point of separating them

[night granite]

why are you even asking if you dont know what difference it makes?

[latent pasture]

is ur current gpu that intolerably bad
cuz if u dont buy the intermediate gpu, u can afford the big gpu faster
also curious whats the price of 6600xt and 6650xt
same with 6750xt

[lapis talon]

Because the price I got it for is suspiciously good

[frigid blade]

They’re separate because they do separate things

[latent pasture]

cuz its old

[lapis talon]

Stuff like running a browser and other stuff are done by lower frequency efficiency cores right?

[latent pasture]

its the same 7840hs from 2(?) years ago

its not like 8c16t zen4 is bad lol thats still very good

[night granite]

one performancies and the other efficiencies (I am being silly)

[frigid blade]

@lapis talon wait till nova lake

There’s gonna be a new core type

Gonna blow your mind

[indigo bay]

AI haters keep taking the L

[latent pasture]

we dont have to im p sure theres current intel cpus with 3 core type

[night granite]

||muh ultra 9 x3d or whuteva!!!!!!||

[frigid blade]

LP cores

[tawny fossil]

Also I forgot to tell you I play alot of eSports games

[night granite]

do tell please

[frigid blade]

Low power I think

[tawny fossil]

This is my humble setup

[frigid blade]

Like super slow cores just for background stuff

[night granite]

ooh ooh, we speakin humble setups

one sec

[tawny fossil]

It is humble fr.

[latent pasture]

whats ur current gpu again
if its just for this then how is it not satisfactory

[tawny fossil]

I need those fr

[indigo bay]

can someone explain to my why you get so triggered when someone even uses ai in a discussion not about it

like you cant even dare stand to be in its presence and derail an entire discussion to moan

it is because most of you are failed artists and it doesn’t what you do in second?

the newest models can now replicate any style, any idea, in a good res

[tawny fossil]

It is satisfactory in games but it's not satisfactory for multi tasking

[frigid blade]

16P, 32E, 4LP

52 core consumer cpu btw lol

150W tho

[night granite]

that is NOT that much really

[frigid blade]

Yah it’s not a lot, but it’s base

Who knows what they’re actually gonna use

[night granite]

what socket? new socket or the first ultra socket?

[frigid blade]

New

It’s in the pic, 1954

[night granite]

I'm SO pumped to spent 500 dollars on an itx board the second it comes out

[frigid blade]

I think rn it’s 1851?

I just put mine together last night

[night granite]

yeah I have no clue because I've never paid mind to the ultra socket

in hindsight, I shoulda got an ultra 3

[frigid blade]

If you get the flagship you’ll have 52 cores

[night granite]

that new ultra 7 is looking REALLY good

[frigid blade]

I need a new phone

This camera is booty

High end pc with low end phone perfect match

[night granite]

just got a 16e, never been happier

idk how they call this "budget"

[frigid blade]

I have a 12 mini

[night granite]

very based

I chose the 16e because its the same size as the se

[frigid blade]

The age is starting to catch up to it

[night granite]

I used an se2 up until about 2 days ago, still held strong

I just want the oled and usbc

couldnt care bout the ecosystem or the processor

[frigid blade]

I have this phone because it was the oldest that supported 5G

That’s the only reason

[night granite]

what are the camera specs?

[frigid blade]

No clue

[night granite]

I'm still a little pissed my new one has over double the MP that my fancy mirrorless camera has

[frigid blade]

I go by dookie and not dookie

Not actual specs

[dark knoll]

does any one have any mechanical keyboard recommendations for around 100$

[wheat torrent]

MP is only one part of the story

[night granite]

I know, its just bothers me

I used to use a 12mp nikon d3 happily

a camera from 2008 btw

[wheat torrent]

Smartphone companies when they turn 12mp into 100mp

https://tenor.com/view/xrd-exrd-crypto-btc-eth-gif-23801255

I would love to own a hasslebald h60 (400mp) camera

It has a 100 mp sensor but it physically moves it 4 times when taking a picture

[night granite]

This is my current for context

nikon z50 with the tamron 18-300 that released for z mount 2 months ago

[wheat torrent]

I sold my Nikon and bought a 4090

[night granite]

what camera?

[wheat torrent]

I was using the Nikon few times per year

I use my 4090 every day

[wheat torrent]

Nikon p1000

[night granite]

oooh, I almost bought that one

but then I decided interchanging lenses was too important to me

[wheat torrent]

Its nice but

Its a phone sized camera with a huge lens

[night granite]

I mean, I love huge lenses

[wheat torrent]

If you know what it can do and what it can't beforehand then you won't be disappointed

Lots of people shit on it because they didn't research properly

[simple dagger]

AOC OLED 280hz cheaper than 32GB RAM ._.

[night granite]

if we are talking full frame equivalents, this is a 450mm lense

I love telephoto

[wheat torrent]

Obligatory moon photo

[night granite]

I find it very enjoyable to walk up to people and zoom in all the way

[simple dagger]

What camera you guys have?

[night granite]

nikon z50

[wheat torrent]

I think the p1000 is 3000mm if you count the sensor size or whatever

[night granite]

with a 18-300 3.5-6.3

[simple dagger]

I have the Sony A6400

[night granite]

thats why I almost bought it

[frigid blade]

Now I know what people who don’t know anything about computers hear when they listen to me talk about them

No clue what any of this gibberish is

[simple dagger]

The Sigma 16mm f1.4 is atm my fav lens for basically everything

[frigid blade]

SIGMA

https://tenor.com/view/mewing-jawline-rizz-rizz-face-sigma-gif-15344650371968005580

[wheat torrent]

If I would ever get a camera I would be one to do photogrammetry

So basically some big sensor and a lot of MP

[night granite]

Who up zoomin they lense

[simple dagger]

I’ve been also looking at getting an ultrawide for my camera. The Sony 11mm f1.8

[wheat torrent]

How heavy?

[simple dagger]

Atm the only telephoto lens i have is the Sony 18-105mm f4.0

[night granite]

that aint telephoto

thats just zoom I'm pretty sure

[simple dagger]

K then zoom lens

[simple dagger]

I’m still kinda new to this stuff so idk the terminology for everythin

I just assumed telephoto meant zoom lol

[night granite]

620 grams

[night granite]

understandable

[wheat torrent]

Wow that's not too heavy

Mine was 1400 grams

[simple dagger]

Apple Brainwash xD

[night granite]

yeah thats what you get when you buy fancy lenses

[wheat torrent]

Kinda of a hassle

[night granite]

I paid 571 after tax (tax is like 10% here)

because I went to a tamron verified seller I got 150 off

[wheat torrent]

The Nikon p1000 is front heavy and it has no mount on the front its at the very back

[simple dagger]

Here’s a good photo i took with the Sigma 16mm f1.4 lens

[night granite]

the camera itself is 395 grams so I feel that pain

[wheat torrent]

The lens would just slowly pan downwards if you let go of it

I tried with multiple tripods

You would have to DIY something

[night granite]

ulanzi jj06 gang!!!!

I got mine for 15usd at a goodwill

[wheat torrent]

If you're in US there is some people making custom solutions for it

[night granite]

casual 300 dollar tripod btw

[simple dagger]

Here’s another nice one

[wheat torrent]

I paid a lot for my manfrotto

I think I should sell it?

[night granite]

I live in phoenix so all I get is desert and more desert

[night granite]

how much?

[simple dagger]

Oof

I’m in Norway

[night granite]

LUCKY

[simple dagger]

Norway is a beautiful country

[night granite]

while we are on general camera gear, what are yalls bags?

[simple dagger]

Don’t have one yet

Coming soon lol

[wheat torrent]

I would love to take photos with infrared filters, I was always impressed by them

[simple dagger]

All i have is a sturdy tripod i bought on amazon

[wheat torrent]

Photos like this

[night granite]

Its worth it

I lug this thing with my everywhere and it hurts alot

but I have no regrets

[simple dagger]

Noice

[night granite]

its kinda overpriced though

I got mine on sale for 160

discounting all I've added to it

[warm saddle]

Should I use Fresync or g sync on second monitor?

[simple dagger]

I asked my dad for a camera bag for christmas since idk what else i want lol

I basically have all the tech i want atm.

[night granite]

you need to pick a road, are you going team sling?

[simple dagger]

Clarify a little?

[night granite]

there are 2 types of bags that go on your back

[sage temple]

hope someone could help me with my pc build

[night granite]

sling bags or 2 strap

[simple dagger]

Oh wait i know what you mean

[sage temple]

where do i connect the aio cable too?

[night granite]

mines a sling bag and while I no longer have a spine..... it can just swing around to your front to access all your gear

no setting down your bag or straining to hold it infront of you

[simple dagger]

I love backpacks. But also they take up more room and i just got a new backpack for my bday so… idk. I’ll let my dad decide

All i said is Camera Bag

He has a Canon camera himself so should know what to look for

[night granite]

you should really think about it because if your bags too heavy it might significantly worsen your experience... ask me how I know

[simple dagger]

xD

[night granite]

that d3 was REALLY nice... but... THE HEFT

[simple dagger]

Anyways what do you define as a telephoto lens? @night granite

[fallow yacht]

y'all chat what do y'all think with the fibre router my brother has in his house rn

[night granite]

its 1300 grams without a lense

[night granite]

personally.... 250mm and over

[simple dagger]

K. I have been looking at some lenses over 200mm. But i also don’t wanna cheap out if i do eventually get one

[night granite]

whats your budget looking like?

I'd love to help

[simple dagger]

I’m in Norway so prices may differ but let’s say $600 - $1100

[night granite]

you might wanna try the lense I have honestly

the tamron 18-300

its 600 or so

[simple dagger]

Lemme check the pricing

[night granite]

make sure to check on the website its the right one, tamron has like 3 VERY similar lenses

[simple dagger]

Tbh not too bad

[night granite]

its REALLY great

you can check youtube for reviews

I do not have a singular complaint other than it not having an mf-af switch

[night granite]

the af is wicked fast and silent if you care

[simple dagger]

This one’s correct?

[night granite]

yes

[night granite]

let me find the image of how close it can focus

[simple dagger]

The only thing is that it prob doesn’t have OIS. And my camera doesn’t have IBIS which means i’ll need fast shutter or a tripod

[night granite]

thats how close it focuses for the record

[simple dagger]

That’s crazy

[night granite]

it has stabilization

[simple dagger]

It has? That’s a fantastic deal then

[night granite]

IK

[simple dagger]

It’s between this and the Sony 11mm f1.8

[night granite]

and to think (before taxes) I paid 520

[simple dagger]

Like which i get first

[night granite]

you said you dont have a real long focal length lense, so I'd go with the 18-300

[simple dagger]

Taking photos of the Northern Lights with 11mm (16.5mm) would be amazing. But at the same time during daytime, a good telephoto is also really nice to have

[night granite]

'keep in mind, since its apsc, that 18-300 is 27-450 full frame equivalent

[simple dagger]

Also since it’s APSC, the 300mm turns into like 450mm

[night granite]

yes

[simple dagger]

Pretty sick

[night granite]

I WAS going to just use the original 50-250 kit lense with the z50 but then the guy at the shop I was at showed me the tamron 18-300

I do not think I would enjoy photography NEARLY as much if I used the kit lense

out of curiosity, what you start with?

[simple dagger]

I started out with the Sigma 16mm f1.4

Just a prime lens

[night granite]

I think my first lense was a nikon 28-200 or something close, it was on a d50

[simple dagger]

And i don’t regret getting it as a first lens

[night granite]

no, 18-200

my fault

I have been zoom lense since day 1 and have no regrets either

[simple dagger]

I am also thinking about getting a new “gaming” chair. Prob an ergo chair. But for my gaming setup

Was looking at the Fractal Refine

[night granite]

try to avoid those racing seat ones

NOT worth the hype

[simple dagger]

This is the one i was looking at

[night granite]

looks pretty good imo

[simple dagger]

Also i do know about the awful chairs

[night granite]

I'd try to feel it up in person first if you can

[simple dagger]

Been following Linus and others for a very long time

[night granite]

I'm sitting in a kitchen chair :/

[simple dagger]

oof..

[night granite]

yeah its ROUGH

[frigid blade]

Oh thats sick

[night granite]

you see where my budget went lol

[frigid blade]

first NPU build

[simple dagger]

Does it atleast have back support or is it more like a stool?

[night granite]

it has a metal back support

[simple dagger]

Better than nothing i guess

[night granite]

the kind that leaves a line in your back

[wheat torrent]

It does nothing 😢

[night granite]

it HURTS

but I'd rather have what I have now than a chair

[frigid blade]

it does for AI

[simple dagger]

True

[frigid blade]

and I run LLMs

[night granite]

you wanna hear a funny camera related story?

[wheat torrent]

I had npu for a few years

[simple dagger]

I used to use my bed as my gaming chair xD

I didn’t have a chair until like 2020

[wheat torrent]

There is absolutely zero application I found that uses the NPU

And the llm models don't even have support for npu yet

Maybe copilot can use it?

[simple dagger]

I think Copilot might use it. My dad’s laptop also has an NPU and i think it was used in Task Manager

[night granite]

I was looking on facebook marketplace for a camera one day, found a canon m200 with a efs adapter and a 24mm, he said "150usd doesnt take photos or record", I got there, it worked, he seems kinda upset and held through the deal, thats how I got into mirrorless

absolute steal if you know what that camera is worth

[wheat torrent]

I think npu is mostly a marketing gimmick

[frigid blade]

Its not the models thats the issue, its the software for running them

[wheat torrent]

[simple dagger]

Btw is RTX 50 even selling well. The GPU prices are prob the lowest i’ve ever seen in Norway atleast

[wheat torrent]

https://www.reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/comments/1gb021x/is_there_any_software_that_can_use_it_that

[simple dagger]

The cheapest RTX 4070 back in 2022/2023 cost like $790 here.

The cheapest RTX 5070 is like $550 now

[wheat torrent]

I mean for brand new

You can't buy anything else from nvidia

[frigid blade]

yah but this post is a year old

[night granite]

9060xt gang

[frigid blade]

AI has been moving fast

[simple dagger]

Atm i’m waiting on AMD, Intel and NVIDIA to release next gen before i upgrade anything

[night granite]

I got in at the right time

[simple dagger]

Intel Nova Lake, Ryzen something, RTX 60

[night granite]

I bought this pc about 2 months ago

[frigid blade]

52 core consumer CPUs, the next generation is awesome

[wheat torrent]

Yes, it got even more hard to run, bigger models with bigger parameters

While the NPUs were never capable of doing much

[frigid blade]

not really, 70B is the most youll need

[simple dagger]

I want a core for every minor task

[night granite]

I dont care about instability if it has such performance

[simple dagger]

Give windows update a core
Give print spooler a core
Give MS Paint a core!

[night granite]

I wish to dedicate 12 cores to discord 🫡

[wheat torrent]

And you need 48gb minimum of ram

[frigid blade]

each handle needs a core

[wheat torrent]

Ram is slower than vram

[frigid blade]

you only offload whatever doesnt fit on the VRAM btw

[simple dagger]

Rn i have the Intel Core i5-13600k (14 core)

Very satisfied so far. After a few years of use

[wheat torrent]

I think npu will be great when we get actual npu cards

[frigid blade]

I dont have that issue :P

[wheat torrent]

Not some small ass chip inside a CPU

[simple dagger]

Atm even with X3D CPU’s i don’t see it as a big enough upgrade to.. well upgrade..

[frigid blade]

dedotated wam

[wheat torrent]

X3d if you do gaming

[simple dagger]

I don’t do just gaming

[frigid blade]

nerd

[simple dagger]

I also do DaVinci Resolve Studio 20, Lightroom and other stuff

[night granite]

we love davinci resolve

[simple dagger]

And also electrical engineering

[frigid blade]

its so weird running the newest intel CPU on a HDD

its like, slow, but not slow, but also pretty slow

[simple dagger]

I switched to it from Vegas, cause i think Vegas used to be better back when Sony owned it and now it’s Magix and it only gets complaints

[frigid blade]

oh wait thats sick

[cold skiff]

Then you want a 9950X3D

[frigid blade]

the iGPU in here i forgot it shares the DRAM

its got like 18GB shared

[simple dagger]

Too expensive. I am not really interested in the top end

[wheat torrent]

Ryzen AI 9 HX 375 has the best npu in the world

[simple dagger]

I can afford an RTX 5090, but choose not to get it

[wheat torrent]

It only gets you 5-10 tokens per second with a 30b model

[frigid blade]

thats a lot

but also what you said means nothing

no model, no settings

[simple dagger]

My target for a new CPU is prob gonna be like $400 whenever i do end up upgrading

[cold skiff]

Can afford a 5090. Says a 9950X3D is too expensive

[frigid blade]

remember how with the new GPUs NVIDIA was comparing AI performance between different settings as if they were the same?

[wheat torrent]

Gemma 2 27b or qwen 32b

[cold skiff]

The financial decision making people are coming in here with lately blows my mind

[simple dagger]

I can also afford the 9950X3D but don’t wanna spend that much money on not a lot of gain

[kindred halo]

How do I know where to place my reset switch when I have neither the manual, or online manual </3

My only clue is that the JFP1 header is where I place my power switch

[cold skiff]

Is it for work max?

[simple dagger]

I don’t target highest end hardware even if i can afford it.

[simple dagger]

Nah, personal gaming rig.

[frigid blade]

what floating-point

[cold skiff]

Ah okay then fair enough

Yeah now point buying more than what you need, I did the same

[wheat torrent]

For example the Radeon 880m (igpu) will easily beat the npu of 9 hx 375

So npu IMO Is a waste of silicon

[frigid blade]

does the 9hx375 not have an iGPU on top of that

[wheat torrent]

Just use that wasted silicon to make the cpu or GPU better

[simple dagger]

Let’s say i have a $3000 budget for a gaming setup.

I’ll spend prob only around $1800 on the PC, $400 on a Monitor, $200 on accessories and rest is savings

[wheat torrent]

Yes

[simple dagger]

I don’t rent, i’m planning on buying a place instead in the coming years.

[night granite]

I have some questions that I wont ask

[wheat torrent]

That's what I'm saying why waste silicon on the npu when you can make an already good alternative even better

[swift thorn]

oh damn, i remember these now

[simple dagger]

~$200,000 for a decent 50m2 appartment here in Norway

[swift thorn]

what's the other port called? like the wire is RJ11 to?

[night granite]

thats just 2400?

[simple dagger]

Yeah and $600 savings

[wheat torrent]

For example the npu in the ai 9 is equivalent with a mobile 3050 6gb

It has the same int8 performance

[simple dagger]

$600 that i can prob use for other stuff like a new Telephoto lens

[wheat torrent]

But I'm reality the 3050 is faster in practice because of CUDA

[simple dagger]

I love CUDA

[wheat torrent]

And 3050 mobile isn't really that powerful

[night granite]

it just confuses me why you add that into the budget if its not related

[night granite]

big fan of the 3050 here

[frigid blade]

ok but look at the size difference bro

[night granite]

5050 gets too much hate

[simple dagger]

Well it would by default just go into a savings account for a future upgrade

[wheat torrent]

Waste of silicon

No one uses it, could be redirected into making the cpu better

[simple dagger]

I’ve never actually bought anything higher than a 70 class card

[wheat torrent]

Its just marketing

[frigid blade]

i'd prefer the GPU but sure

[night granite]

I could never comprehend doing such either

a 9060xt is already crazy high for me

[wheat torrent]

You can slap a sticker on the laptop saying it has 55 tops, top tier ai performance

[frigid blade]

i definitely think they should focus NPU tech into the iGPU and not worry about separate NPU chips

[wheat torrent]

Yes

Agreed

[simple dagger]

Thing is… once upon a time, i moved from an NVIDIA MX250 to an RTX 4070

[frigid blade]

iGPU has been on a roll and this is going to slow it down a ton

[wheat torrent]

Well tho I don't think for GPUs they will name it npu

[night granite]

if igpus get good enough I'm making a teeny tiny mini pc

[wheat torrent]

NVIDIA on the 5000 series already added a lot of specific chips aimed to improve neural performance

Remember the comparison they did with 4000 and 5000 series cards

[night granite]

I technically own a 4070

[frigid blade]

oh shit the 285k has an Arc as the iGPU?

[simple dagger]

I’m still on said 4070

[frigid blade]

apparently comparable to a GTX 1050 Ti

[night granite]

igpus use ram as vram yeah?

[frigid blade]

Yes

[night granite]

is it that simple or are there drawbacks?

[simple dagger]

5070 is just more power draw for not a lot of gain and 5080 is a space warmer, a really expensive card and prob gonna be irrelevant by the time we get the next node shift

[frigid blade]

But it means you can also upgrade it

[frigid blade]

DRAM is slower than VRAM

[wheat torrent]

The new iGPUs are a really strong

[simple dagger]

I would upgrade to a 5070 if my current GPU was an RTX 2070 which it’s not

[frigid blade]

But, IE a 32GB build with the ultra 9 285k means the iGPU has got 18GB shared memory

2 GB VRAM, 16GB DRAM

If you set it auto mode or whatever it’s called

You can change the values in the bios I think

[wheat torrent]

I mean most steamdeck type decides use igpu, and those are very popular right now

You can emulate GTA 5 with quite good performance on android smartphones

[frigid blade]

I’m about to run a steel nomad benchmark on my 285k

[night granite]

how noticeably?

[glass perch]

is there a way to see my stats at all time in MSI afterburner?

Like not only in games

OSD

[simple dagger]

You mean the OSD while on desktop?

[glass perch]

yeah

[frigid blade]

Multiples

[night granite]

so it would be worse than a 1050ti?

[frigid blade]

IE DDR5 6000MT/s has a max bandwidth of 96GB/s in dual channel, 4060 VRAM bandwidth is almost 272GB/s

[wheat torrent]

48gbps per pin compared to 6gbps

Gddr7 vs ddr5

[mint umbra]

Why is amd rt performance so bad

[simple dagger]

How fast in terms of GB/s are super overclocked RAM sticks? Like 10,000MT/s

[frigid blade]

It’s very close on dual channel

[night granite]

so if I wait for ddr6 I can have gddr6 performance? (assuming the timings are the same)

[wheat torrent]

The ryzen ai Max 395+ has a igpu equivalent to mobile 4070

[frigid blade]

1050Ti VRAM can do 112GB/s, if you compare to 32GB (2x16) DDR5 at 6000MT/s it’s 96GB/s

So it’s pretty close

[wheat torrent]

Ddr6 is double ddr5 so 12Gbps per pin

[simple dagger]

Is DDR6 even rumored atm? Any progress on that?

[night granite]

I havent heard anyhting for a while

[glass perch]

I don't have a exe there

[wheat torrent]

Gddr6 is 12-16 gbps

[wheat torrent]

Am6 will release on ddr6 for sure

[simple dagger]

I do not expect low prices for DDR6 tho. Since DDR5 5200MHz was also quite expensive at launch

[frigid blade]

10k MT/s dual channel gear 1 is 320GB/s

[wheat torrent]

Am5 ends support in 2027

[simple dagger]

oof. Well it was worth a shot with Copilot lol

[night granite]

I"m just thinking ahead, if I ever travel outside of the states, or even inside the states on a plane, I want to build a pc that can fit in my camera bag, so no dedicated gpu

[wheat torrent]

Undoubtly

[dusty dew]

got the top end "nokia" phone because i got annoyed by the damaged screen

[glass perch]

haha

[dusty dew]

now time to buy some protectors

[simple dagger]

I prefered Intel’s aproach to DDR5. Have LGA1700 support both in a way

[frigid blade]

Yah that was cool

[night granite]

I agree

[pearl fossil]

hi

[frigid blade]

I had that with my 13900kf for a while

[simple dagger]

I hope they and AMD do the same with DDR6

[pearl fossil]

got a new laptop

[frigid blade]

DDR4 then upgraded to 5 (with mobo obviously)

[night granite]

I'd argue for super low budgets (before the ram issue atleast) getting an lga 1700 ddr4 board was better than am4

12100f is stupid cheap

[simple dagger]

I think DDR5 6000MHz should work fine enough through the years of RAMMAGEDDON

[frigid blade]

It has to be screwed on?

[wheat torrent]

Unsure it's still in prototype stage

[frigid blade]

Ah yah

Prototype makes sense

[wheat torrent]

Start of mass adoption after 2027

[frigid blade]

Ofc it’s G.Skill haha

[simple dagger]

I also hope Intel Nova Lake gets revealed at CES 2026. Like actual performance

[frigid blade]

I love them

[night granite]

honestly, I trust amd to make an AMAZING igpu for am6

[frigid blade]

Wait for AI generated math, will increase performance by 10x

[wheat torrent]

Ddr5 in our desktop computer's are dimm

[simple dagger]

Atm its just leaks and rumors but 18A architecture could be cool

[night granite]

I'm running g.skill ripjaws 2x16 6000 right now

[wheat torrent]

Tbe images above are camm2

[frigid blade]

I got their 2x48gb kits

[simple dagger]

My brain is a calculator. That’s all i need

[frigid blade]

Oh maybe they’ll keep it that way, I prefer this tbh

[wheat torrent]

I am unsure if ddr6 is going to even use dimm slots

[cosmic idol]

Sell half and make some epic profit 🫶

[night granite]

you are forgetting one thing........... dimm looks cooler

[frigid blade]

Have you seen one without the plastic on it

[simple dagger]

That’s the one thing i never really liked about Norwegian schools. You don’t get full points in math if you don’t show how it’s done. Even if the result is correct, you lose points. My brain does math not logic

[wheat torrent]

Though I can't see how you would install multiple ram sticks with camm2

[night granite]

I have a 4x16 ddr4 vengence kit.... I will make my bands.....

[frigid blade]

It’s boring af, you can just slap plastic on the camm2 bam it’s cool

[cosmic idol]

LOL 🔥

I love that

[simple dagger]

I kinda forgot about CAMM2 but hope it arrives sometime soon to the masses and replaces DIMM

[simple dagger]

Still cheaper than my next driving lesson…

[cosmic idol]

Hell yeah

[simple dagger]

$650 xD

[night granite]

I paid 40 bucks for it about 6 months ago

[boreal tiger]

So how would Linus tech tips would be different if they were in US instead of Canada?

[cosmic idol]

How much are you paying for driving lessons 😭

[simple dagger]

In Norway… the average cost is stupid

[swift thorn]

I believe space and orientation would be a bit of a problem, like where do you put half a chocolate bar on the motherboard

[cosmic idol]

That is nuts
Mine are about 85 AUD each

[swift thorn]

going from vertical to horizontal just looks and feels weird, spacewise

[wheat torrent]

Seems like camm2 is a single stick of memory which is 128bit bus dual channel

[simple dagger]

You can almost convert 40,000NOK to $4000

[boreal tiger]

can't you just go to an open place like a parking lot and practice

[simple dagger]

So it’s kinda easy to understand

[swift thorn]

thats espensive

[frigid blade]

$4k for driving lessons is wild

[simple dagger]

Yeah you can do that but! There are obligatory driving lessons you have to take

[cosmic idol]

Epic profit

[frigid blade]

just go drive around the cemetery, thats what I did

[night granite]

water block when?

I will do that SO fast

[swift thorn]

honestly looks like a lot of wasted space, everything is cramped everywhere else

[simple dagger]

It’s the driving instructor that has to give the green light for when you can actually order a driving test. You cannot order a driving exam before you’ve gone through all the learning stuff with the instructor

[frigid blade]

thats dumb

[boreal tiger]

We all are screwed somewhere in our country

[swift thorn]

idk, this is my take to someone else it might look normal

[simple dagger]

That’s how Norway works

[wheat torrent]

What are you going to use the space for

[frigid blade]

where I am, you take the test whenever, if you fail well, too bad and you have to retake

[simple dagger]

Atleast the Theory Exam was pretty cheap

$50

[frigid blade]

you have to pass the written before the driving

well I say written but its on computers

[simple dagger]

Yup

[swift thorn]

that's.... weird what if i had an old expired license or someone's dad teaches them how to drive

[simple dagger]

Then you’d prob only need to take a driving test

[night granite]

I hope they stack them atop eachother

[simple dagger]

If you had a lisence before

[wheat torrent]

Here you also have to do a minimum amount of driving lessons and for the instructor to green light you

[swift thorn]

anything else?? as i said my view is that everything's cramped up elsewhere, maybe others see it differently

[frigid blade]

wait this iGPU is actually fire

[swift thorn]

like with current SODIMM? yea i should hope so too though that would kill any chance of lq cooling

[simple dagger]

In general, i think it’s harder to get a drivers lisence in Europe than it is in the US or some Asian countries

[frigid blade]

over 12FPS on steel nomad

[swift thorn]

what if someone else teaches you, if you know everything do you still have to take all the normal classes or if he observes you know everything in 1 class he just lets you do it

[night granite]

no, like vertically

[simple dagger]

Yeah you still have to take obligatory driving lessons with the instructor

[wheat torrent]

Its fine what else would you add

Its not lost space if there is nothing to fill that space with

[simple dagger]

Private driving doesn’t really get registered in the National Driving Database. Driving with instructor does

[swift thorn]

fair point

[wheat torrent]

I'm sure micro atx will still be possible on ddr6

[simple dagger]

And it is only the instructor that can order some of the obligatory tests!!!

[swift thorn]

oh. maybe then

[simple dagger]

Regular driving lessons i can order myself. But obligatory ones, the ones that progress you twoards the driving exam, those are controlled by the instructor here

[wheat torrent]

The only thing that I am surprised about is that we are going from being able to use 2 or 4 sticks to only one

You can't just buy more ram now

You have to sell your current stick and get a new one

[swift thorn]

that is mad tbh. like I should be able to take the test w/o classes, it'd be understandable still if it was like 2 tries and then you need an instructor

[simple dagger]

That’s Norway xD

Oh and also you need an approved car for the Exam aswell which can be quite expensive

The easiest way is to just rent the car from the driving school. So $330 here

[wheat torrent]

Apparently enterprise or workstation motherboards might have stackable camm2

[swift thorn]

tfym an approved car

no one doing their driving test in an aventador 😭

[simple dagger]

Too many rules

Also there are a ton of Teslas and EV’s in Norway for context

[swift thorn]

no driving aids makes sense, but seriously an approved car list

that is absolutely diabolical

[simple dagger]

Every other car you see here is an EV.
But the car you drive with the instructor is typically a hybrid

[wheat torrent]

Camm2 takes roughly 3 dim slots @swift thorn

Considering a lot of motherboards even micro atx comes with 4 dim slots

[simple dagger]

@swift thorn

Let’s just say there’s an absurd amount of rules

[cold skiff]

[wheat torrent]

Ofc there is a heatshield

[simple dagger]

You need pedals also on the passenger side @swift thorn

[wheat torrent]

Looks standard for eu

In america I recall the driving license is easier to get because in most states you can't function without a car

Very bad public infrastructure for transportation

[wheat torrent]

So If you make driving licenses hard to get people won't be able to get shit done

[frigid blade]

time to undervolt the 285k

[wheat torrent]

That's what I heard at least

[rigid fjord]

til you see dell's implementation of this and just go "no"

[simple dagger]

I have undervolted my 13600k and it runs at like 140 watts under Cinebench load

5.1GHz all core

[wheat torrent]

Can't find

[simple dagger]

By default it’s like 170 watts

[rigid fjord]

the "how to be a pig exam" ?

[simple dagger]

xD

[wheat torrent]

Ugly ahh

Bruh

[rigid fjord]

look at how it's mounted

[wheat torrent]

Looks like a toad

With legs

[rigid fjord]

if you don't screw it down correctly, it's lga1700 issues all over again

[wheat torrent]

Lmao

[frigid blade]

hard drive moment

[wheat torrent]

This server will be fun when camm2 becomes mainstream

[cold skiff]

LGA1700

[wheat torrent]

I'm kinda bummed that it's only one module

I'll have to buy 64 out of the getgo

[rigid fjord]

remember if you don't screw down lga1700 correctly, you either lose ram channels, usb or cause the pins to spread over and possibly kill parts

[wheat torrent]

Jedec didn't finish the standard yet

I recall

[rigid fjord]

or they're trying to figure out how many standards it needs

[cold skiff]

Four standards. JEDEC/XMP/EXPO/LTT Overclocking

[calm idol]

i mean thats the case with ddr5 atm aswell. 4 sticks basically cannot be run at 6000mt atm

[cold skiff]

It can be

[wheat torrent]

Apparently servers will still use dimm

[rigid fjord]

tbf, servers do need 128gb+

more space efficient while slower. but servers mostly dont need the speed

[rigid fjord]

they need the bandwidth, and depending on what's being done, yes they may need the speed

[frigid blade]

ive never seen task manager show over 100% CPU usage until now

[calm idol]

bandwidth yes, is also better with dimms but speed almost never unless for very niche needs

I just reslotted my ram but the lamps are still on :(

Never mind the red one just turned off

And my screens are on now

That’s weird

[midnight wind]

POV you're an IaaS compute service overprovisioning your machines

[frigid blade]

107%

thats the highest ive seen it hit

108

under over 100% load

thats not bad temps at all

just AIO, nothing else

but I doubt if you have an AIO extra case fans would help

max 232W

[sour remnant]

The X870E AORUS XTREME looks sick

[cold skiff]

Best get it a doctor

[cold skiff]

Turn the iGPU off

[sour remnant]

Purpose of that zip tie at the top?

[frigid blade]

im using it

[coarse radish]

i think it held two led cables togehter but theyve clearly seperated lmao

[cold skiff]

Yikes

[sour remnant]

Environmentally friendly pc

[coarse radish]

nothing super important just cable managment

[cold skiff]

It’s a very loose zip tie to begin with

[frigid blade]

i seem to be averaging a lower score tho

2300

[cold skiff]

Against a database of XOC it’s not to be a surprise

[coarse radish]

yeah idk i built it over a year ago and havent payed super hard attention to the cables since then lol, just fixing stuff when it needs fixing

[coarse radish]

should probably figure my cables out later but rn i need to work lmao

[frigid blade]

im comparing to cpu-monkeys benchmarks, I thought they average

[rigid fjord]

he's only on OC not XOC

[cold skiff]

Yeah I thought he’d be doing like 3dmark

[frigid blade]

does 3dmark have a free cpu benchmark?

[rigid fjord]

if this is r24 then that's not a low score tbh

[frigid blade]

its r24 yah

no OC, well, the "oc" profile on the BIOS, thats it

[rigid fjord]

pcmark, 3dmarks other one for doing cpu/storage

[frigid blade]

RAM is running XMP 6000

its a different kit***

not my 4 dimms

[rigid fjord]

for now**

[frigid blade]

yes, I will be back in 9 days and the extreme RAM OC will begin

[rigid fjord]

it's not extreme til you hit 13,000+ mt/s

[frigid blade]

It is when u running 4 dimms

[rigid fjord]

current highest is somewhere between 12500 and 13000 mt/s, last time i checked

[frigid blade]

Not menacing at all

Living room pc setup with no peripherals

just gonna leave it like that until im back lol

[cursive swan]

Random question, do i upgrade my FE 3060 ti this year or do i have time to wait? With prices skyrocketing, Idk if i should take the money i was gonna use for new peripherals and buy a new gpu or wait

[frigid blade]

what prices skyrocketing?

[cursive swan]

Dram prices

[frigid blade]

i thought its just RAM

[cursive swan]

its everything

[frigid blade]

might be able to snag a 5070 for cheap on newegg tmr

[cursive swan]

Damn

i dont got that money

[frigid blade]

oh the 3060ti is cheaper than I thought mb

[cursive swan]

But i have a i7 12700k and 3060ti so i was thinking of a 5070 or rx 9060xt

i didnt buy it

i got it from a family member who had it collecting dust in his basement

[frigid blade]

was talking about this

https://www.newegg.com/doorbuster

[cursive swan]

Im sorry, newegg is not my jam unless i really need it

id rather buy off amazon or buy it used of MBPC

[frigid blade]

because of the old videos about it?

[cursive swan]

no

[frigid blade]

if its personal experience then I get it, but its not as bad as it used to be when those videos were coming out

[cursive swan]

i was building my pc this year and they sent me a broken psu which probably wasnt their fault but im still paranoid

[frigid blade]

they have pretty good bundles thats why i like them

[cursive swan]

id see that

[frigid blade]

i paired a bundle last week with a paypal deal, ultra 9 285k, z890c gaming x wifi7, free AIO, for $750 after tax, minus 20% so came out to be like $580 with my CC cash back

best deal ive ever gotten on pc parts excluding full builds

[cursive swan]

thats like my whole pc

for the budget i mean

[frigid blade]

we all start somewhere

[cursive swan]

Ik

[frigid blade]

if youre old enough (18), you might be able to get 20% cash back using paypals deal, if you order within the next 3 days

should give you a bigger budget but spend the same amount

[cursive swan]

I have a 12700k, 3060ti, z790 pro rs wifi, montech xr, and hyper 212 cooler plus 32gb ddr5 6000mhz for under $700

[frigid blade]

yah thats about what I had, less ram a bit better gpu, had 16gb ddr4 13600kf with a 3070ti

[cursive swan]

So i really only need a new GPU and SSD

[frigid blade]

yah, dont worry about cpu

[cursive swan]

Ik

i got it for $150

best purchase of my life

is the ultra series worth it?

You said ultra 9 but would a 14900k be better?

[frigid blade]

I’m pretty sure the ultra 9 is better, but I think it’s more efficient

[cursive swan]

for AI tasks yeah but benchmarks say no

[frigid blade]

IIRC the 13th and 14th gens pull a lot more power

[cursive swan]

yeah

just watercool tho. (Ik its hard im not a dumbass)

[frigid blade]

I just ran cinebench r24 it’s faster

[cursive swan]

It is?

[frigid blade]

Water cooling isn’t hard with an AIO

I did it like less than 12 hours ago

[cursive swan]

the #1 spot on cinebench is 14900k and 5090

[frigid blade]

I’m talking stock

That’s hella overclocking

And milticore

[cursive swan]

yeah true

[frigid blade]

I think single core is faster too

[cursive swan]

Ig you never OC that much when gaming tho

[peak swan]

My daily driver is 5 android versions behind this idiot from 2012

[cursive swan]

💀

[glass perch]

Yo does cinebench like do anything to my hdd

Ik this is a dumb question

but my hdd is from 2007 and its ready to blow

[glass perch]

[peak swan]

Why do you even have that

[cursive swan]

Dont ask questions

some of us cant drop $100 on an ssd whenever

I spent all my money on my parts and forgot my ssd

[glass perch]

love ur pfp btw

[frigid blade]

$57 for 1TB

[cursive swan]

so i had to take an hdd out of my parents old vista pc

[cursive swan]

Saving for a DRAM ssd

[peak swan]

I mean i have a hard drive from like 1995 (1.56gb original quantum fireball) buy i don't actually use it, i just have one in a drawer

[frigid blade]

bro

[peak swan]

I don't either

[cursive swan]

wdym

[glass perch]

has anyone here ever had that thing where ur GPU fans would go max RPM and monitor would not recieve signal

[frigid blade]

oh I need a wheel and pedals

might buy them now when everything is on sale

[cursive swan]

oh ive gotten that where the monitor freezes

[cursive swan]

?

[glass perch]

ANd ur GPU fans go max rpm?

[cursive swan]

Yeah

i was playing fortnite a few days ago and it did that

[glass perch]

Howd u fix it?

[cursive swan]

Restarted my pc lol

u could try reinstallinfg drivers tho

what gpu do you have?

[frigid blade]

wtf happened to SSD prices

[peak swan]

One day you will wake up, turn it on, only to see

[glass perch]

4060

[frigid blade]

they almost doubled

[cursive swan]

up $20 in 2 wks

my dram ssd was $70 in sept

its now 100

[cursive swan]

Brand?
