how much storage

[night granite]

as they said, network attached storage, server, system to mess with without any worries

or, ewaste station is always an option

[polar mauve]

one ssd and its only 120gb so no nas thats for sure

[random junco]

aw, well you can still self-host Immich, a google photos alternative with more features

[night granite]

I vote test system

[tired bear]

home assistant maybe

[random junco]

how many smart devices do you have in your home

[night granite]

robot vacuum

[polar mauve]

none

[random junco]

yea so never mind to HA

[night granite]

donate!

[random junco]

i got home assistant but i didnt have anything smart. i bought a smart light bulb and it was nice though

wait i can control my firestick from HA though

can pause anything lmao

[polar mauve]

well what else do i do with the pc then

[night granite]

thinking aobut ivy bridge sends shivers up my spine

[random junco]

i would say sell it for parts but i dont think its gonna be very financially beneficial

what resolution is your monitor by the way?

[night granite]

"I'll give you 2 dollars for your cpu"

[polar mauve]

i mean does telling the specs help you guys think of something

[night granite]

yes

[random junco]

sure, but also whats ur monitor res

[night granite]

(please let it be an old xeon, I like those :]

[random junco]

i have hundreds of xeons

[polar mauve]

i7-3770, 16 gb ddr3 and i guess a 1050 ti

i do have a xeon and a pentium for the same platform

[night granite]

1050ti based alert

[polar mauve]

my monitor res? what does that have to do with this

[random junco]

monitor resssssss !?

[polar mauve]

i have a 1440p monitor

[random junco]

interesting

do you like movies or tv shows

[sonic marlin]

I just bought a 9070xt asrock steel legend from Newegg and says it’s eligible for the extended holiday return but then it says this when I click on the manufacturers warranty underneath the gpu, is it saying that I have until January 31st to return/refund and then I have to go straight to asrock after that?

[polar mauve]

not really the movie or tv show type, i guess south park is the only thing i really like to watch

[random junco]

damn we were so close

if you said yes i was gonna suggest jellyfin media streaming

[polar mauve]

sads

[night granite]

9000 series enjoyer 🫡

[random junco]

anyways sell the gpu, you can get some money for that and you dont really need transcoding or anything graphically intense that the cpu cant handle

[night granite]

I am required to say it once more... 9060xt waterblock when?

[sonic marlin]

12vhpwr phobic

[polar mauve]

how much could i get from the gpu

[night granite]

some 9070xts have 12vhpwr

[random junco]

what currency

[polar mauve]

€

[random junco]

oh then what country

[sonic marlin]

Yeah that’s why I specifically didn’t buy those

[random junco]

euros are used by so many countries

[polar mauve]

austria

also its a KFA2 1050 ti OC

[sonic marlin]

Can someone help me make sense of this I’m mildly concerned

[night granite]

honestly, if a waterblock for the 9060xt doesnt come out by the middle of 2026, I'm buying a 9070

[random junco]

do you use ebay? im not that knowledgeable of austria

for any marketplace, you can just search for gtx 1050 ti and sell it for the average price

[polar mauve]

we use something called "willhaben" its like ebay just for austria i guess

[random junco]

oh i dont see any gtx 1050 ti's listed there

keep it i guess, or list it on ebay (might have high shipping fees for others outside of the country)

[polar mauve]

there arer

[random junco]

for how much?

[polar mauve]

30 euros

another for 69

[random junco]

30? goddamn thats cheap

[polar mauve]

mostly in the range of 50-80

[empty quartz]

@random junco whats the longest you’ve gone without charging your phone and it not dying

[random junco]

probably about 13 hours

[empty quartz]

Rookie :3

[random junco]

ive got wayyy too many background apps

[empty quartz]

What os?

Ios or android

[random junco]

google pixel android yea

[empty quartz]

That i cannot help too much when it comes to optimizing for battery life

For iphone, i always disable background app refresh, and if i need it for for than 15 hours, i use low power

[random junco]

whats your longest?

tbh most of my battery usage is from tailscale vpn to access my home server

[empty quartz]

Longest for me i think was around 36 hours

[random junco]

36? what the heck

what iphone is this

[empty quartz]

Before it got to 20%

[empty quartz]

16 pro max with properly optimized settings

Plus i dont game on my phone

[random junco]

4685 mAh

my google pixel 6 pro has 5000mAh

hey how long does it take for yours to charge

[limpid ivy]

hello

[empty quartz]

Higher capacity battery ≠ more battery life

[ivory mountain]

[limpid ivy]

Ace you update to ios 26👀 . I'm debating

[empty quartz]

Idrk, depends on the charger

[ivory mountain]

got a performance boost to over 9k multicore on 26.1

before it was 8800

[empty quartz]

On my 96W mbp charger, its about 20 minutes to go from 50 to 85

[empty quartz]

No

[brittle coyote]

ram cost a whole damn gaming computer now right before i was going to upgrade for black friday

[valid fiber]

Civ

[ivory mountain]

dang must suck

[brittle coyote]

Look at this shit

[random junco]

yikes

[limpid ivy]

hmm yea I'll give it a shot on my main 16 in 2 weeks when I am off lol

[brittle coyote]

Micron cut off crucials production so they now only sell to big daddy ai nvidia instead of everyone else

[night granite]

I've seen worse

[ivory mountain]

micron ddr5 is shit anyways

[valid fiber]

it's still confusing to me what they hope to achive by buying all them ram out there.
openai isn't even profitable

[brittle coyote]

Micron was a main chip producer

[ivory mountain]

im aware doesnt mean its good, hynix is 92984392 times better for ddr5

[brittle coyote]

If there out that makes a shortage and that makes ANY ram expensive

Every ram out there is in shortage

[brittle coyote]

Thats not my point

[brittle coyote]

^^^^

[valid fiber]

better times

[brittle coyote]

Supply and demand its highly demanded and theres low supply now

[ivory mountain]

im aware lol, exiting the consumer market for ai gives the consumers more hynix ram though.

unfortunately hynix's "8 fold ram production increase" isnt for the ram we use though so itll still be ass for a while

[random junco]

damn i payed £26 (34 usd) for 32gb of ddr4 3200mhz on august

[ivory mountain]

i paid $200 for 64gb ddr5 and my kit is $700 now 😭

[random junco]

now its £145 (193 usd)

[brittle coyote]

Idgaf if its more available tf? I care if i can afford it without litteraly paying morre than my pc. Again thsts not my point

[random junco]

damn bro youre LUCKY

[brittle coyote]

Doesnt matter if hynix is better than micron because both are equally expensive as shit

[ivory mountain]

you dont understand what im saying lol, micron going out of the consumer market gives us better ddr5 in the long run while giving the AI datacenters mostly micron horseshit, which in turn makes it cheaper again (in theory)

[random junco]

shit?

[ivory mountain]

very

[brittle coyote]

But you cant buy either🫃

[winter lantern]

My kit is worth 700 too

[valid fiber]

I'm still waiting for the real chip apocalypse caused by TSMC poblems or monopoly abuse

[polar mauve]

is ddr4 also affected yet

[brittle coyote]

Flip them

[brittle coyote]

ALL RAM IS AFFECTED

[polar mauve]

even ddr?

[ivory mountain]

if its more available itll be cheaper 😭 which is my point

if we give all of the micron to AI, they can stop buying ACTUAL good ram (which is the main issue of the prices, theyre buying mostly hbm hynix memory)

[valid fiber]

percentage wise the increase is even higher than ddr5.
unlike ddr5 ddr4 is also not being produced anymore on top of ai buying all available things

[brittle coyote]

Correct

But hes just ragebaiting now

[polar mauve]

whos ragebaiting

[winter lantern]

Just use ddr3 trust

Download more ram

[ivory mountain]

this guy cant comprehend my very simple messages of me breaking down why memory costs are so high

[brittle coyote]

Fr

[winter lantern]

I ain't smart enough for that
Ill need to eventually get ram again anyways

[brittle coyote]

I told you why there expensive what are you on about

[winter lantern]

My pc is already broke so ig I wont be loosing anything

[ivory mountain]

you think theyre expensive because of micron leaving the market which isnt the case at all

[brittle coyote]

All ram is in shortage because a main producer stopped making crucial

[polar mauve]

i havent seen those messages yet?? i just entered this chat seen you guys are talking about ram and thought why not ask a question

[ivory mountain]

dude ddr5 was in a shortage and expensive before micron even stopped 💀

[tulip helm]

Is it me or is this pc i found on a website missing something? It seems off.

[valid fiber]

well at least i feel a lot less guilty for buying so many ssd's and hdd's this year. i could probably sell for a profit in the next months if i wanted to

[plucky spruce]

who has unused old pc? (around core-i3, 2gb RAM), i'll buy it

[winter lantern]

I stripped a screw trying to get an ssd out so its there forever 🥱

[winter lantern]

What u use it for

[plucky spruce]

anykind of unused pc is accepted 👆

[polar mauve]

a old laptop of my dad has a stripped screw and i cannot get it out ;(

[winter lantern]

I love when only 2/4 screws come out

[polar mauve]

its the last screw

[balmy tapir]

live near any universities?!

[plucky spruce]

yes, why?

[polar mauve]

i mean 2 are stripped, 1 i managed to get out the other is stuck in there good

[valid fiber]

it's mostly just needlessly redundant backups for now

[polar mauve]

is that 2tb i see

[winter lantern]

Yeah I aint getting these out 🥀

[polar mauve]

you dont want to see the one on the laptop

[swift moss]

what is this egregious price 😭

[polar mauve]

it is completely round

[winter lantern]

I thought youd be a seeder or something with all that

[swift moss]

some dude in venice can handcraft the glass for these lenses and test them for that price

[brittle coyote]

If micron stopped selling to consumers hynix has to make all of them causing hynix to be in shortage because all companies are buying from them

[winter lantern]

Those screws were fine 1 hour ago

They just didnt wanna come out now they never will

[brittle coyote]

They have a month to get more products before its in affect

[polar mauve]

isnt there stuff you can buy for stripped screws

[brittle coyote]

But companies are gonna still buy all and only from hynix

this is on auction rn

[balmy tapir]

you can look and see if they have a surplus store, at least in the US there are often a thing and alot of unis are selling older pcs due to windows 10 going EOL

[winter lantern]

They're usually not for tiny electronics

[balmy tapir]

false

[tulip helm]

My pc fan sometimes tweaks, how do i fix this. i cleaned the dust (didnt mean to reply)

[polar mauve]

25 dollars .-.

[winter lantern]

An nvme screw is very tiny tho

Oh well I didnt need to remove them anyways

[balmy tapir]

gang those are for tiny screws like an nvme screw lmao

[valid fiber]

yup the dataset is just above 2tb now

[balmy tapir]

honestly one of the cheaper ones you can find

[polar mauve]

cant one buy like a singular one for less

[balmy tapir]

for small screws its hit or miss

live near a hardware store?!

they may have some

[polar mauve]

do not live near a hardware store sadly

[ivory mountain]

fuckkkkk

[balmy tapir]

where do you live 😭 you may be out of luck then

[swift moss]

that shit still exists?

[balmy tapir]

lowkey was fun back in the day

[ivory mountain]

ye

[swift moss]

i never owned it but I saw my friends play it, it looked cool

[pseudo wedge]

why is everything so expensive lately?

i thought ram was one of the cheaper parts now its one of the more expensive parts

[ivory mountain]

Ai companies buying HBM memory

[balmy tapir]

average AI bubble moment

[odd kestrel]

linux support when

[eager mango]

anemoia has to be one of the strangest things to experience

[ivory mountain]

never lol

[iron glen]

Cz big G needs his ram

[balmy tapir]

the fact its not makes linux better 💀

[odd kestrel]

only thing that pains me is that I can't play GTA: O anymore

[iron glen]

Im curious, can one get an illegitimate copy of save the world? Cz its a dlc right i'd imagine its not easy to come by

[ivory mountain]

no, its not rly a dlc anymore, you buy it in the item shop now

[iron glen]

Ah

[ivory mountain]

stw is so good idk why they gave up on it

[bleak heron]

anyone recognize what is creating this notification and how to turn it off? Recently updated to Win11, it's a desktop I built myself so no OEM software. Don't have Logi Options installed, (G Hub yes) but think I have Windows notifications turned off.
It comes up in game and drives me nuts

[balmy tapir]

fair enough lol, only game I can't play after switching to linux has been Destiny 2 and thats been a plus lmao

[ivory mountain]

is it an hp laptop

im so slow u js said desktop

[bleak heron]

Nope 🙁

[ivory mountain]

looks like a 3rd party software idk which one tho

[odd kestrel]

Destiny 2 is available on linux?

[ebon ether]

Anyone got some recommendations for HDDs that aren't too noisy / unreliable that will be used in my home rig for shadowplay recordings, these are also later backed up to another drive, but I'm wanting something that keeps my access at home reliable, I currently have 1TB WD Blue but would want to just jump directly at 4TB probably. Looked at the Seagate IronWolf Pro drives as they are 7200RPM NAS drives so pretty decent for the price, however I have heard they can be quite loud which might not be what I want in my personal rig? are the WD NAS drives any different if anyone has experience? or should I go a more home PC drive like WD Blue or Seagate BarraCuda?

[balmy tapir]

it is not

[balmy tapir]

noisy hdd is rather unavoidable. if you're looking for something quite youll want to look at some the helium drives and lower capacity drives

really your only option for quite is an ssd

[bleak heron]

Dell Peripheral Manager! (monitor)

[bleak heron]

SSD

[ebon ether]

When I speak of quieter I mean more like my current WD Blue (I mean I could just go with a similar WD Blue), I just know NAS drives are a tad bit noisier than the regular drives. HDD noise is no issues to a certain extent in my rig

I did some clarification in the message above, not looking for 0 noise

[ivory mountain]

did that fix it?

[random junco]

ssd

[balmy tapir]

NAS drives are typically quieter? you may be thinking of enterprise or data center drives which are noisy

[random junco]

copycat

[random junco]

the HDD would only make the noise when its being used, so if you just tuck it away somewhere far away it should be fine

[bleak heron]

ive got a bunch of ironwolfs and sleep next to my server. they aren't much different that a regular drive if at all.
although having multiple disks active at the same time is louder

[random junco]

my server always makes hdd sounds but i dont mind because it sounds quite nice

less than 1.5 metres away from my head

[balmy tapir]

its really hit or miss on each drive you get, not even model tbf. helium drives tend to be quieter, but you also may not find one in the 4tb capacity, most like 8-12+

[bleak heron]

the speed is the main factor for noise (the old WD raptor drives were loud at 15000rpm or whatever)

[ebon ether]

The ironwolf series specifically I've heard get quite loud, though they've been in other environments

[ebon ether]

Yeah I it will always be spinning, but I'm not always out here capturing clips, however I can't really put my PC far way lol

[balmy tapir]

there isn't really a main factor at all. you can have a very quite 7200rpm drive and a very loud 5400 rpm. size has the same if not a bigger impact compared to speed

[swift moss]

holy camera array

[ebon ether]

Would you say your ironwolf drives are noisy compared to the average like barracuda / wd Blue?

[bleak heron]

I don't notice them compared to the other WD and toshiba drives in the same box

[ebon ether]

Yeah, a Seagate Barracuda I have at 5400RPM is louder than my WD blue at 7200 RPM

[balmy tapir]

id take a little more noise from an ironwolf and have some better reliability compared to a wd blue or barracuda

[ebon ether]

I guess this also might be slightly different for every drive, so I can't really do more than buy one and try

[balmy tapir]

pretty much

[ebon ether]

At the same cost (basically) yeah I can see why, it's why I initially looked at them, also eyed exos drives as I could source them through work, but that is way larger capacities and enterprise

[balmy tapir]

exos will likely be loud

[ebon ether]

Oh yeah those are like actually noticeably loud

[balmy tapir]

i have a 10tb HGST and its quiter than some drives ive used, but when i first boot up it gets rather loud

[ebon ether]

Eh so does the rest of the PC

[balmy tapir]

id really just buy whatever makes sense for you budget and wear headphones lmao

[ebon ether]

Honestly my budget should go to new headphones 💀

[balmy tapir]

lol fair enough

[ebon ether]

Mine are a bit eh, or well at least new ear things

[balmy tapir]

what headphones do you have now?!

[ebon ether]

However 😅

[balmy tapir]

i mean do you really need 1tb of recordings 😭

[ebon ether]

Steelseries arctis 3 2019 edition, very basic. But they've lasted a long time

[ebon ether]

It's more of an accessible archive for when editing stuff or looking back at older videos. The content on this drive spans back many years

Of course I could offload it and only have it at the secondary location, however then it wouldn't be a backup

[warm anvil]

i love it when ram costs more than a cpu

[balmy tapir]

well duh, the cpu is only 38MB while the ram is 36000MB 💀

[swift moss]

toll roads are weird

toll roads should only exist as a convenient option, not as the only route

[ebon ether]

So the definitive answer is both yes and no

[swift moss]

the george washington bridge, lincoln tunnel AND holland tunnel all have crazy toll prices and the only way around that is going around fort montgomery

funny it thinks gw bridge doesn't have tolls

[kind obsidian]

is this a world record

[formal sonnet]

It does if you're travelling in the direction that tolls exist... Not all routes charge tolls both ways.

[swift moss]

well yeah its an eastbound toll but i'm assuming its a return trip

[formal sonnet]

Right, but Google does not know that based on what's in your original screenshot.

[swift moss]

toll roads in auckland have bidirectional toll but very convenient ways around

[swift moss]

i just flipped direction

nvm just uncoughed

nvm

hmm second one interesting

[kindred halo]

Nifty little device I found that might save me from a bunch of headaches

jesus

dude i was just about to buy my first pc too then this happens with ram

T-T

[molten sleet]

ordered something on amazon and am just now realizing it's getting shipped to my old address gg

[plain cypress]

Extremely mid kit of ram*

[warm anvil]

i couldnt find a better one on amazon rn

what do u recommend then

[swift moss]

collect the crucial ram while they making it 💀 antiques

[plain cypress]

I meant before the ram crisis, you could still get expensive ram kits with high capacities and/or insane timings

[warm anvil]

2 month shipping is crazy tho

[plain cypress]

But now super mid kits are expensive

[warm anvil]

i mean i put this list together like 2 months ago

[swift moss]

good ddr4 pricing here guys

[warm anvil]

so it was not this expensive

[swift moss]

19usd for 4GB of lpddr4x

albeit good luck stocking this

and some normal ddr4

[warm anvil]

yeah sure but what would u recommend anyways

since u said this kit sucks

[molten sleet]

when i ordered my first moddable mechanical keyboard it took like 4 months to ship

[plain cypress]

I mean you already bought it, no?

You should just keep it

[warm anvil]

havent bought anything yet no

[plain cypress]

Oh well get whatever is cheapest tbh

With current pricing...just get ram

[warm anvil]

i was gonna get two 8gb sticks instead cause the prices but i literally couldnt find any

[grizzled frost]

ddr4 or ddr5

[warm anvil]

ddr5

[grizzled frost]

2x16 is the minimum even worth considering

[warm anvil]

this is the mobo

[grizzled frost]

okay?

[warm anvil]

i mean im only gonna use it for gaming mostly

[grizzled frost]

Oh in that case!
||the same thing i said before||

[plain cypress]

I really wish they didn't do 8gb D5 dimms

[warm anvil]

32gb it is i suppose

[coarse kite]

an irl friend is asking me to help her build a pc. easy peazy, except it's not a gaming rig but one for ableton and music production. what sorta things should i be looking to put in a pc for that purpose?

[grizzled frost]

a mac

[eager mango]

wish me luck guys, applying for two jobs today!!

[plain cypress]

i do feel like mac would be the classic music production pc

idk anything about ableton

[coarse kite]

she's a dj

[plain cypress]

macbook pro (2015)

[eager mango]

agree

[swift moss]

they are probably produced some place else

[gloomy sleet]

that is an interesting keyboard

[swift moss]

im just wondering how micron has 53000 employees and cxmt has 6000 and they made the same product in a pretty similar amount of time

[kindred halo]

Gigabyte B450M-H vs ASRock A520M-HVS, which to buy?

Both are PCIe 3.0
2x DDR4 DIMMs capable of doing atleast 4066MHz

Main advantage is that the B450M-H has a 5+2 power phase as opposed to the A520M-HVS' 4+2, and that it has an extra two USB 2.0 ports

Is there any advantage that one has over the other?

Price difference is negligible, 8 dollars.

[random gyro]

yep, it does the job done though

[swift moss]

is mr5 noticable diff to mr4?

[kindred halo]

I'd add more info but it'd fill up the screen

[random gyro]

those are mr3 ;-;

[gloomy sleet]

why are the colours like that it looks so goofy

[swift moss]

oop the gold colours threw me off

[random gyro]

it is called the "mixed green" color for a reason XD

[swift moss]

thank god though

[random gyro]

though the mr3 are the smallest pair

[swift moss]

kinda want

or i could invest in some monkey coffins

[random gyro]

those are really good speakers

[balmy tapir]

i mean are you planning to OC at all? if yes the b450 may be better, but id really just get whatever is cheaper

[random gyro]

go for em if you want it :)

[swift moss]

better

i'm just not sure exactly what size I want

[kindred halo]

Anything beyond XMP is out of my territory

Base clocks on both the GPU & CPU are fine enough for me

[random gyro]

pls get a 5.1 setup :>

[swift moss]

not for my room

[balmy tapir]

then it really shouldn't matter which one you go with

[kindred halo]

Fair enough

[random gyro]

5.1 gaming is kinda cool though, a bit impractical with smaller spaces :(

[swift moss]

no i have too large of a space that's the issue

my desk is in the corner of my room, and its about 5 metres away from the back corners

[random gyro]

go for dolby atmos then XD

[swift moss]

once again i dont really need that in my room

that's reserved for the living room

[random gyro]

oh :(

mr5 is really good then

they support hi res audio too (i think)

[balmy tapir]

i have a 4.0 setup in my room, although its hit or miss if i find audio that has proper real channel support

[swift moss]

i might make some of these

hivi b4ns are DIRT CHEAP

I can get one for about 4-10usd

[random gyro]

custom.. pretty neat i must say

[swift moss]

i've got a custom amp in the works too

[random gyro]

the casing is made out of MDF right?

[swift moss]

i mean yeah probably with some nice wood veneer

[random gyro]

then custom is good too, especially when theyre tuned :>

[balmy tapir]

those do look quite neat

[swift moss]

i'm not too sure how i'm gonna get dolby working I don't want to write my own IP but i don't want to sign ndas either

[swift moss]

yes all of his designs are great

[odd marsh]

dolby with a custom amp is just not worth it imo

[random gyro]

am thinking of getting this mouse for myself this christmas season, tuf m3 good or no?

[swift moss]

i'm determined to get it working but IDK writing IP for anything other than dolby digital (even dolby digital) requires a lot of maths which I might not have honestly

the mantissa, quantization, all of that jazz and ffts are tough to work with ESPECIALLY without pre-existing FPGA IP

[inner veldt]

Plugged and unplugged differwnt 12vhpwr cables 30 times on my gpu to test amperage, is the 30 time mating cycle is also applies to female socket on the gpu side?

[swift moss]

i like this one
https://www.pulsar.gg/products/x2-crazylight-gaming-mouse?variant=46176229687550

and the g pro x superlight but that's quite expensive

[odd marsh]

yeah the time and effort required for it greatly outweighs any benefit, even the coolness of doing it yourself

[swift moss]

i will defo be the first person to write an open source solution though 🤔

this shit wont even work on a resume because it's illegal 😭

"for educational purposes" fixes that ig

"to teach myself deeper knowledge of sound systems on FPGA I decided to write a decoder for classified dolby algorithms"

[random gyro]

looks pretty neato, but i dont really plan on gaming so thats a but overkill

[swift moss]

it's a comfortable everyday mouse

if you just want an everyday mouse get an MX master 3 then or 4 if they released it already

https://www.logitech.com/en-eu/shop/p/mx-master-4

i highly recommend the mouse investment, I use it all the time, duh 😭 (i'm not a vim user)

[random gyro]

worthy investment? maybe
i can probably get 10 years out of an mx master 4

[swift moss]

my g pro x has lasted 4 years now

[balmy tapir]

most important thing in a mouse is being comfortable to use imo

[swift moss]

nevertheless, the thing probably won't last 10 years because of the rubber, but still it's totally fine spending a lot on a mouse every 4 years or so, how bad is the situation? like surely you can save up a little bit, like if you're a child now, you will be able to work in 4 years surely

[random gyro]

i have tried a g502, best experience ever (mostly because ive used cheap office mouse till this point)

[swift moss]

i agree, my g pro x suits my need and is comfy for gaming because of the weight too

[swift moss]

try the mx master 3 and see if you really like it

i know doctors who swear by the mx vertical too you could try that

[balmy tapir]

ive had an Endgame Gear XM1r since launch like 4 years ago? and its been wonderful

[random gyro]

its shape is pretty neat, i actually had an ergonomic mouse with a similar shape

[balmy tapir]

g502 is a classic, too heavy imo, but still very comfortable, i used one at work for a bit

[empty quartz]

I went from a logitech g900 to a g903

anyone know why in games my cpu at first for 2mins runs at 4-3.2ghz at 100-95C, but then locks out at 80C and 2.6ghz

i thought thermal throttling would only occur at the actually high temps, 100C, but why it is also throttling at 80C

[balmy tapir]

its thermal throttling to 2.6ghz to not be stuck at 100c id guess

[merry trellis]

yes

[grave pulsar]

i want it to stay at 100C

[balmy tapir]

well it doesn't like that lmao

[merry trellis]

you dont want to

[balmy tapir]

what cpu?

[grave pulsar]

or at least just higher than 2.6ghz and 80C

i7-9750h lapotp

[balmy tapir]

increase your fan curve if you can?

[grave pulsar]

i dont think i can, dell is so buns

[balmy tapir]

ah it may be a saftey thing to throttle down that much then

chassis may get toooo hot

[grave pulsar]

it only gets a bit hot

only a "bit"

[merry trellis]

then you should clean your laptop

[grave pulsar]

i did 2 weeks ago

[random gyro]

are you affirmative that you didnt forget to remove the fan

or something im bad at english

[grave pulsar]

yeah i removed my cpu fan

[merry trellis]

what is the model name of your laptop

[grave pulsar]

G7 7790

2060 asw

[merry trellis]

and you did apply new thermal pads right?

or paste

[grave pulsar]

thats a good idea

might go buy some paste

is it a good idea to maybe tinker with some throttlestop undervolting

[merry trellis]

i belive so

but you should be more focused on pasting her up

omg it sounded dirty

[formal sonnet]

Could be a faulty heatsink. If you're in warranty, Dell might send you a replacement for free.

I'm getting a new PC, and I'm debating between installing Fedora or Windows. The PC has a Core Ultra 7 265KF, 32 gigs of RAM, and an RTX 5070. I want to tinker with LLMs, use Unity, and also play The Finals and Arc Raiders. Are there any compatibility issues with these programs on Fedora?

[formal sonnet]

ProtonDB is a great place to check game compatibility on Linux.

Please note that even if the game opens, there's no guarantee Anti-Cheat will work.

[merry trellis]

i checked protonDB already im more conserned by the other programs. they should be fine right? like basic school eork and those i already mentioned

[formal sonnet]

No idea. I don't use Unity myself, nor do I tinker with Machine Learning. Hopefully someone who does use these on Linux can chime in.

[random gyro]

why not both? :)

[stray portal]

Yes they will be fine

[merry trellis]

ty

[stray portal]

Ive just moved to ubuntu myself and i must say its been great

But please know for nvidia drivers you should NOT use the open source ones as they suck

LLMs are usually easier on linux from what i know, and unity should work just fine

[toxic crest]

Hey
Do you guys know some good fans for pushing air through aio
My stock nzxt ones are barely keeping up with exhausting heat from my pc case

[tired bear]

biggest improvement would be upgrading from 120mm fans to 140mm

[toxic crest]

Theoretically i could
But then i cant screw them to my aio

And i cant put them on the other side

[tired bear]

just use pressure optimised fans like nf-p12 or artic p12

[toxic crest]

Ok ill try to get my hands on arctics

you can get a m.2 to sata convesion card afaik

[stable beacon]

my current drive is salvaged from maybe 60 or 80gv

[balmy tapir]

well if you have a m.2 SATA (not nvme) you can use something like this which can be cheaper than a new drive

[stable beacon]

afaik pcie5 isnt that developed yet

[ornate harbor]

so..?

[balmy tapir]

there are also m.2 nvme to pcie adapters

[hollow girder]

Google translate is funny

[stable beacon]

which is better though nvme 3 on a pcie adapter or native sata

it depends if your drive is a m.2 sata or m.2 nvme

i have 2.5 sata atm

i have a i7 10750 and a 2060m in a laptop that im currently using docked to act like a desktop, but hinge and fan just broke

no i was going to 3d print it lol

That sounds kinda sick
I don’t see a massive purpose cos it’s not like you can upgrade it much

yea id just build a pc but that doesnt seem like a good idea rn

do you have another gpu im ind

Hey guys, I would like to study a simple airflow for my system following this schede (I have a Geometric Model 5 case that came fanless) - https://imgur.com/a/cUHUU5i

I'm missing the 3 fans on the bottom (I wanted to reutilize my old Phanteks RGB fans) while I wanted to use the Artic P12 Pro ARGB on the radiator.
I have another Artic for the right one and then one mounted backwards on the left, a little bit ugly but it's ok.

Do you think this would work or i'm missing something?

[valid laurel]

only comes in 14" which is fine as i think this is the perfect size, it was the size of laptop i was planning on getting, i got the 1tb version

[silver portal]

I know they're not reverse blade but whatever, I don't have the money to spend rn

The part on the right where you have exhaust directly above an intake looks like it could be suspect

Oh so thats separated entirely

Yeah, I was just wondering if it's ok to use the Artic 12 Pro ARGB on the radiator

the LT720 doesn't have RGB fans and it's kinda meh to look at considering the rest of the fans

quick question guys I really don't like bf6 audio it's bad they are working on fixing it but I'm thinking it might alos be something on my end. My friend has the saem headset and is not complaining of the same issues I am.
I've removed logitech drivers and got a basic windows driver.
Now I wanted to check if my chipsets drivers where up to date and he're what I see that's not up to date

somehow it says the PCI device driver needs to be downgraded? o.O I'm confused is that possible

[wheat torrent]

anyone got a glass mousepad?

[south arrow]

Have you tried for audio just to the monitor/diffrent device?

And whats wrong with it. I wouldn't mess with your chipset drivers

And if you do just grab it from your specific motherboards site then run it and done

[stable beacon]

i can't detect the ssd in my motherboard i bought an inland 250gb and a pcie adapter, it's receiving power and i think it shows up as "pci simple communications controller" but it says i need drivers which idk how to get, tried finding nvme drivers and found nothing, i think its because this is an older x79 motherboard

[spiral dust]

my monitor doesn't have speaker and no I don't own other headsets but I could try and find some 3.5 jacks

my 2012 Windows can still (well since windows 10 EOL) run current applications. My 2012 macbook pro hasnt been able to run final cut pro since like 2018

[odd shuttle]

oh yeah true

[stable beacon]

i heard about intel vmd driver i haven't tried it yet but it says for 10/11 gen and mine is 3rd gen e

[stable beacon]

afaik you can install windows 11 bypassing the tpm and hardware requirement by some command idk

[fringe prairie]

not really

[rare pasture]

i never did that- I don't think i wanna try that lol

too much risk with it just stopping working if Microsoft patches smth

[stable beacon]

i don't think i would recommend using windows even with removing all the bloatware

id be using mint or something if i wasnt so lazy to switch

i haven't tried steamos yet

[rare pasture]

windows has a lot of exclusive software i use

for my machine i couldnt run adobe or solidworks

[gilded vapor]

what's the latest on 4x ddr5 slots? running out of ram w/ 2x48 and debating whether I should bite the bullet and get a 256 kit before prices increase more. (or another 2 48s though I doubt I can find the same model) (w/ am5 x870e)

[stable beacon]

wine 🍷

plus adobe can go to hell with their capitalistic shit

i was considering pirating lightroom but right now i'm still using darktable for my editing

difficulty: linux

darktable and gimp are basically linux creations of lightroom and photoshop

[stable beacon]

it's quadrupled these days 🥀

this is just like the bitcoin gpu crisis all over again

[gilded vapor]

yea the thing that kills me is that im running out with 96. wish i'd known sooner. idk how stable 4 sticks is and only way to get more w/ 2 is 2x64gb. might just deal with it since idk if it's worth it to get more

[rose sorrel]

Is there a way to see mobo in windows or have to go to bios ?

[stable beacon]

bro i'm still sitting at 16 🥀

have you tried optimizing your space

[south arrow]

Can use hwinfo to see your mobo etc https://www.hwinfo.com/

[stable beacon]

also, 4 sticks is perfectly stable unless you're a master overlocker

[winter lantern]

Using under 16gb seems impossible cause doing nothing uses 10

[south arrow]

Tiss true, also the more ram you have the more the system utuilises

[winter lantern]

I have 64gb 🔥

Too bad my pc broke
I never even went over 32 anyways

[south arrow]

Have you started a #1027757333117415424 ?

Unfortunately with your issue theres alot to check. Like every cable going into everything psu side and on the mobo/gpu reseating the gpu and ram. Trying a clear cmos after. Double checking everything that should be plugged in is

[rose sorrel]

Unless I need different CPU that is running a mc server to

Its 4 core 8 theard i3

[south arrow]

Also checking whatever this is, if its a extension to a fan probably fine

[clear canyon]

looks like a USB C connector for the motherboard

[south arrow]

Oh i see the other side now just sitting there lol. Probs shouldn't have that in there keks

[rose sorrel]

should i even change cpu ?

[gilded vapor]

ah it's some re tooling. the analysis for this function was taking like 80gb alone, then i have a bunch of context open from a few other days. prob just gonna have to learn to use the tool more effectively haha

[south arrow]

If all your stuff works probs not

Especially with current ram dillemas

[swift stream]

i eventually gave up and decided to leave it to MSI for a RMA check, because I am pretty sure it is a malfunctioned bios chip when in writing state

I tried 4 drives and got same result (waited 30 minutes for each drive) (one was 16gb)

[south arrow]

Today has had a ton of tech supports

o_0

[ivory mountain]

MSI RMA told me to fk myself

[swift stream]

😔

[hexed sage]

Got a Wii u off eBay for $100

[stable beacon]

apparently it does have an nvme controller now and the drive adapter doesn't have a red light anymore however i can't see the drive in disk management

it should have detected it since i haven't moved the ssd at all out of the slot since i tested it on my other pc

it is formatted so it should be showing up theoretically

[stable beacon]

my bsod has a dark mode now apparently

[mellow haven]

does anyone know how to fix the problem where my laptop doesnt detect my GPU ?

[balmy tapir]

like gpu in the laptop or an egpu

[rigid fjord]

disk management, not storage/device manager/explorer

[sage ocean]

apparently our phones are installing malware now just by seeing ads not even looking at them smh
and people called me crazy cause I had an adblocker on my phone

[formal sonnet]

Security and actually being able to use the web without pulling my hair out are primarily why I use uBlock. The fact that it handles video ads on YouTube is just a side effect.

[lapis furnace]

Not sure if this is the right place to ask about hackintosh, but I have been stuck here for ages. Need help 🙏

Laptop: HP Pavilion Gaming 15-dk0047tx
Intel i5-9300H
Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650
32 GB DDR4
Boot drive: WD Blue SN580 1TB (with existing windows 11 partition)

macOS version I'm trying to install: Monterey 12.7

[rigid fjord]

that and common sense 😉

[fickle ivy]

I just deleted over 700 photos/videos and still somehow am above the 15gb limit for Google photos

Spent probably an hour and a half going through 2017-2024 deleting unnecessary stuff

[frigid blade]

So locked in I started to learn C++ to get this project finished

I am trying to stream a desktop in way that doesn’t hog the CPU or GPU and it turns out Python is a horrible language for it

Can’t get WebRTC working for shit with it over 30FPS and you’re stuck with VP8 CPU encoding

JPEG on its own I was able to stream over 50FPS at 1440p while playing games, and using CPU encoding when switching over to C++

That’s without WebRTC for the UDP stream, just pure spamming http requests for new frames from browser lol

[delicate zodiac]

Are websites on Amazon fire stick hd laggy or not?

[formal sonnet]

There are millions of websites out there... Simpler one's load fine, while those that rely on client-side Javascript are likely to be less performant on low powered devices.

[shadow heron]

Not sure if anyone has any insight, recently got a CPU over temp shut down, took it apart and did some light de-dusting but my dark rock pro has minimal clearance pushing air down at the MOBO, should I reverse the fan directions and have it pull away from the mobo? Fans push against eachother so the air escapes on the top and bottom openings? or leave it as it was push against the mobo

Case is a o11 dynamic

I’m going to take my machine to work and do a full de-dust and repaste tomorrow since we have a commercial air compressor

[cedar shoal]

128gb Ddr5 for 700 bucks is that worth it

[zealous plover]

Does anyone know a good black sleek pc case fan?

That doesn’t cost that much

[pearl fossil]

what is that voodoogpio thing? can you send me a screenshot of your kexts folder?

[wispy forum]

So having a long password is good that is difficult but how do you expect me to have a different password everywhere. But at the same time memorise those passwords that’s like impossible. What do I do to fix this issue guys? And before you say password managers I heard those were not safe or maybe some specific one’s and not all of them. Could anybody help me out with this? As ai wouldn’t be a good place to ask this lol.

[lapis furnace]

Nvm now. I completely deleted the macOS partition and gave on the idea of hackintoshing. Apparently laptop CPUs are a headache

[pearl fossil]

you could try opcore-simplify as a last resort

it works well when it does

[lapis furnace]

That's what I did but something didn't work as expected or i missed something

[pearl fossil]

it sometimes won't work well, if you want i could try to make you an efi as long as you give me all your specs

i'm willing to bet that efi it generated just needs some manual tuning

[delicate zodiac]

What about kick?

[formal sonnet]

https://www.amazon.com/Kick-Streaming-Ltd-Pty-Live/dp/B0DNRNVYDQ

[hexed tapir]

steamers leave twitch a amazon owned platform to make kick a streaming platform that uses amazon..

[formal sonnet]

It's all streaming platforms from here.

[cyan bay]

hi im rocking a Ryzen 5 3600 and a 3060ti my Ram is 2x8gb and it's 2666mghz, is it a good idea to upgrade my ram considering I found 2x8 3200mghz of ram for good money value.. I wanted to upgrade to am5 but it's not really looking good rn..

[thorny saddle]

no

2666 vs 3200, and with memory prices in this market, makes no difference

[golden sage]

i had to RMA my trident z royal neo kit 💀

its a 8 Weeks waiting time

Thankfully they gave me a loan ram, its not much (16gb single channel 4800mts) but its better than me having to spend money to buy a kit to use for 8 weeks, i need my pc for work dawg 💀

[thorny saddle]

that stinks - what is the model?

[golden sage]

heres a picture

[thorny saddle]

?

[golden sage]

It was stuck at sending haha

[golden sage]

For the trident Z5 Royal neo, they're CL28 6000MTS 16x2

[thorny saddle]

that's what I was wondering

The nice part is GSkill warranty is great, the bad part is this market for memory

[golden sage]

Yeah, im quite lucky atleast i have something to work with rather than have to spend a bomb

[gusty wagon]

Isn't kick that messaging service between random people

And they they do unspeakable stuff

[golden sage]

i got this kit around july 2025, it was like $280 singapore dollars

that exact kit now is $680 singapore dollars which is crazy!

[sleek ibex]

No, it's an alternative to Twitch

[thorny saddle]

Yeah its rough

[gusty wagon]

Flip on carousell

[golden sage]

💀 i sent it for RMA remember

[gusty wagon]

I don't

[golden sage]

oh

[golden sage]

well here 😄

[gusty wagon]

But hmm... gskill... convergent?

[golden sage]

corbell

went down to corbell today, they tested it and told me they cant do a 1 to 1 exchange cuz they dont have that exact kit, i was then offered a loan ram while they send my kit for RMA to g.skill which'll take 8 weeks

[thorny saddle]

I have this in my one build lol

[golden sage]

is this a "CU-DIMM"

[thorny saddle]

yeah

[golden sage]

995 is madness

[thorny saddle]

its hilarious at this point

[gusty wagon]

Hehhhhh

[golden sage]

Computers are slowly becoming a luxury item 💀

[thorny saddle]

I have an 8000 CL40 48GB kit that I would swap for almost any 6000 kit but the prices are dumb

so dumb

[sleek ibex]

[vestal roost]

Help pc suddenly died and only flashing light when trying to turn on button. I already tri3d resetting the ram and replugging the power cables on the psu. I haven't try resit gpu and cpu cooler

[sinful cobalt]

im gettin this during 12.12

and im gonna jedec it in gear 1 till i do a ITX intel build

[golden sage]

oo, i just bought myself a 2TB 990 pro aswell

[unique belfry]

I told my mum to buy 32gb ram for nearly £100 the day before the ram crisis, and then she forgot and now the ram is nearly £500. I hate my life.

[sinful cobalt]

if the 990 goes OOS im going for the platinum p41 instead

[wispy forum]

@rigid fjord uhm do yk what I can do

and also what will we do with these ram prices bro why is it so high i get that ai or somethjing has to do wiuth it but why buy THIS much and like whats the fix to this?

[orchid trellis]

What gen threadripper is the newest? Need it for pcie lanes

[west arrow]

Hey guys im about to buy the AOC Q27G4ZDF but im having some second thoughts since its almost a quarter of my overall budget (400€). Is the qdOLED tech worth the super big price?

[dapper dragon]

2x32gb

Was $350 before

[queen trout]

Does the ryzen 9 5950x run hot

[golden sage]

hold up man how is yours $312 for that kit

[gloomy sleet]

guys you remember when ram was like £80 for a 2x32gb 6000mts ddr5 set? yeah i miss those days

[golden sage]

real

do u think we'd ever see prices go back to how they were?

[gloomy sleet]

yeah probably

[lapis talon]

Is there really no way to dual boot hackintosh on my RX 9070 XT pc?

$300 USD

[halcyon helm]

yo guys, this looks scary. This is an oled so i shit my pants when something happens to it, now i turned it on then off and it goes back to normal but i get wierd artifacts often. gpu is not overclocked btw and i am running game ready driver 519.44

[lapis talon]

One of the two 32GB DDR5 sticks in stock :D

[halcyon helm]

should i be worried? i feel something is wrong with my system

[lapis talon]

I'm finally a part of the OLED gang but for laptops

[halcyon helm]

ew

[lapis talon]

Well got it for the price of an IPS panel so I can't complain

I doubt I'm going to be doing any heavy gaming on the laptop so an OLED screen is nice for a change

[halcyon helm]

ur laptop screen is oled or u bought a oled screen?

[lapis talon]

Laptop screen is OLED

[halcyon helm]

clearify, so it is attached to the laptop and not an external screen

[lapis talon]

Yes it is attached to the laptop dawg

[halcyon helm]

thats cool

[lapis talon]

Frr

[lapis talon]

512 GB storage is a win for me

[halcyon helm]

i heard that the new nvidia drivers have problems idk, can it be related to this?

[lapis talon]

I can just use steamlink

[halcyon helm]

i have lenovo aswell, but i build my new pc like 6 days ago

[lapis talon]

Ooo niceee

It's the complete opposite story for me

I built my pc a while ago but this is sort of my first laptop

Well I had a ThinkPad and an ancient dell before but

Those were years ago

[lapis talon]

Also got this last Tuesday

[sinful cobalt]

search it

[zealous plover]

Is micron shutting down the whole crucial brand including ssds like the p3 plus?

[dapper dragon]

It was pretty clear that he bought an OLED laptop lol

[dapper dragon]

Looks more like a display cord issue than monitor

It’d look worse if it was gpu

[golden sage]

i cant find it at all!

[paper terrace]

anyone like
have a pcpartpicker list
of a $500 ish pc
that is really performance oriented
like
mkst money goes to actually being a powerful pc
and not rgb?

im too lazy to make one myself

[storm mason]

Does anyone know anything about used iPad prices?
I have a 6th Gen 32gb Cellular iPad that id like to sell.

Based in the EU

[cyan bay]

is it good to buy a cheap am5 board?

[winter lantern]

I think my cpu is cooked
I think im better off selling the pc broken and make my money back 🥀

[wooden tree]

Can't Micron just sell the Crucial brand to another company already

[left trellis]

which

and for what cpu

[hallow jasper]

Not really sure how to answer this. Its never a yes or no question. Entirely depends on if you adequately cool it, like any CPU.

[queen trout]

Air cooler

[hallow jasper]

You can air-cool a 5950x, yes. An appropriately sized cooler in a well ventilated case, of course.

Even better once undervolted through Curve Optimizer.

[ebon marlin]

Every single consumer grade cpu can be air cooled

Including Intel's 14900K's and Core 9 285K's

[rigid fjord]

you get a pen and a notebook, and put them in it, then keep the book in a safe spot only you know where it is and can only access

otherwise bitwarden is the most recommendable one for your browser

[sour storm]

bit the bullet before cpu prices start to rise and bought myself an am5 processor

[red pelican]

https://tenor.com/view/family-game-night-gif-27612896

Hi guys

[sour storm]

what did you do in august of 1992

[red pelican]

Eated the floor

[red pelican]

Tbh

The 4g is taking me crazy

[rigid fjord]

cpu prices aren't on the rise, that's ram prices

[sour storm]

apearently cpu prices are going to be rising aswell

either way im one component closer for new pc

[sour storm]

whats the most affordable decent 32 gig ram ddr5 rn

[wispy forum]

Alright okay

[lusty dagger]

should i upgrade my ram rn or there is a chance for its price to go down?

[sour storm]

it might go down in the future?

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/PxTZxr/klevv-bolt-v-32-gb-2-x-16-gb-ddr5-6000-cl30-memory-kd5agua80-60a300h

[sour storm]

not in finland and that's like.........300 euro

[lusty dagger]

thats what im asking

[sour storm]

do yo feel like you have to upgrade?

[lusty dagger]

yeah

[sour storm]

if the need is there then do so

not sure if the prices are gonna go down this year anymore

[rigid fjord]

depends on the country tbh

[sour storm]

the creature

[rigid fjord]

https://fi.pcpartpicker.com/product/q7LdnQ/ cheapest most decent kit of 6000mt/s

[sour storm]

jesus.... guess the part currently is last on the list

[rigid fjord]

nope you want to get it asap before the prices increase even more so

[sour storm]

that or wait till prices drop or i find used pairs...

cant really fork over 200 eur

almost 300..

[rigid fjord]

prices aren't going to drop for ddr5 not for at least 2 years

you should have bought parts mid 2025 when you could get ram at more affordable pricing

[sour storm]

except i was living paycheck to paychekc most of the yea

[rigid fjord]

most people are
