[sour storm]

shit year all around

[rigid fjord]

it would have been around €90 mid 2025 for a decent kit of 6000 cl30

[sour storm]

yeah well i can't go back in time

[swift stream]

it is likely a bios chip failure when writing, bc my usbs were formatted to fat32 and has MSI.ROM in it. And it didn't work without my cpu either.

[sour storm]

are there any alternatives for ddr5

[rigid fjord]

you could go lower cas latency but it's still going to be over €200 for you

[sour storm]

fuuuuuuck....

can we somehow speedup the ai bubble

[fluid matrix]

Is it normal to notice very short like vibration sounding bursts from your aio pump like every second or so?

[rigid fjord]

a 6000 cl36 lit is €212 at it's cheapest

[rigid fjord]

yes, especially with some of them being improperly mounted

[fluid matrix]

You mean the pump being improperly mounted?

[slim canyon]

Hi guys! I need HELP! I've just bought the new PC with this awesome retro case and im in troubles.

I'm not able to install Windows of any version, the installation says that needs some media drivers probably for SSD which is in PCIe 5.0 for this motherboard.
Ubuntu was worked though. Windows won't start installation.

My setup:
MSI MAG X870E TOMAHAWK WIFI
AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D
Samsung 9100 PRO 4TB - PCIe 5.0

G.SKILL 64GB KIT DDR5 6000MT/s CL30 Flare X5
GPU is RTX 5090 with liquid cooling
ARCTIC Liquid Freezer III 360 Pro Black
Corsair HX1500i (2025) C20

Many thanks also to you guys for pointing out such an amazing case!

[cold skiff]

Are you flexing or asking for some help?

[slim canyon]

im asking for help, since at MSI and AMD pages is only *.exe with drivers and i wasnt able to extract *.inf drivers which is asking for.

[cold skiff]

There’s a channel called #1027757333117415424 for help

[slim canyon]

damn, sorry then

[cold skiff]

It’s all good. Maybe less flex when asking for help there

[rigid fjord]

if it's an aio, then most of them the pump is in the cooler block

[rigid fjord]

you either have it set as raid and not achi in the bios or the installer is borked

[slim canyon]

im not flexing, sorry for that if its sounds like, i just want to describe the componets, because maybe im missing some incompatabilities

[rigid fjord]

also the mobo and ssd choices are stupid when it comes to the cpu you're using

[slim canyon]

i've tried this ways and with raid wont worked also :/

[cold skiff]

Probably needs more RGB

[rigid fjord]

it's the only 2 real reasons why windows won't install

[cold skiff]

Rauko. Where’s your cute little avatar border

[rigid fjord]

i never had one?

[cold skiff]

You should be able to get one from this check point thing

[rigid fjord]

i could but i don't wanna

[cold skiff]

I thought you were cool 😭

[rigid fjord]

i'm a geek

being cool is the opposite of what i am

[thorny saddle]

I'm a cool geek

[rigid fjord]

nope

you're a geek, you're just paying for the more expensive toys of your hobbies

Electric bikes and scooters
Computer

[rigid fjord]

[latent gull]

Gup :(

I’m kinda sad I didn’t get a chance to get a Gup bean bag

[rose stream]

My mind inserted your in that sentence. Lol.

[latent gull]

I just your computer

Please do not the computer

[valid laurel]

What’s better for competitive gaming, the Alienware AW2720HF or the benQ Xowie XL2540, I’m asking for a friend as he’s looking to get a monitor for his pc he’ll be getting

[brazen glen]

Gup hup

[rose stream]

I'm just your computer

[latent gull]

I just like your

[cosmic idol]

That’s an interesting transformation but cool

You do you JP 💖

[valid laurel]

?

[latent gull]

?

[cosmic idol]

[latent gull]

[azure topaz]

i am your computer

[cosmic idol]

I ate your computer

[cold skiff]

Are they both 1080p?

[latent gull]

https://tenor.com/view/hal9000-im-sorry-dave-im-afraid-i-cant-do-that-i-cant-do-that-space-odyssey-gif-23442863

[valid laurel]

I think so

[cold skiff]

Go for highest refresh

[swift stream]

can't tell whether or not this is a bios chip failure or a USB issue for flashback, tried it with no components and got same result

[valid laurel]

He’s mostly getting it to use with his Xbox until he gets the pc then he’ll upgrade it

[cold skiff]

Personally I prefer IPS to VA but either preference is fine for 1080p comp

[latent gull]

Why was I pinged on this

[swift stream]

bc im struggling 💀 🥀

[cold skiff]

IPS monitors generally has less ghosting which is why I prefer it

I don’t particularly like zowie and Alienware tend to do better panels so. Fk it. Let’s say Alienware.

[red pelican]

Hi

[chrome portal]

How is this Mobo cpu combo deal?
https://www.microcenter.com/product/5007213/amd-ryzen-5-7600x,-asus-b650e-max-gaming-wifi-am5,-cpu-motherboard-bundle

[cold skiff]

Good. Now you need to find ram that doesn’t need a mortgage to buy

[ebon marlin]

Shalom

All ram supply was promised to me 3000 years ago

[valid laurel]

I can’t wait to build in this case in January

[cold skiff]

Idk man. It’s just metal.

And when your ram is costing you 250+ I won’t lie, it’s gonna be a hurtful build

[ebon marlin]

Most nothingburger case aswell 💔

[chrome portal]

I got the same RAM for 290 on bestbuy, best deal I think I could find for a year

already bought it soooo

only gonna go up

[ebon marlin]

I got my ddr5 for 90€ then the next day it went to 200€ and now it's 500€

[chrome portal]

forgot I ddin't post my list in chat https://pcpartpicker.com/user/GGTM/saved/8Lt9t6

[ebon marlin]

Ram more expensive than the gpu lmao

[chrome portal]

ignore the off color mobo

[chrome portal]

real

[ebon marlin]

yeah i've got the same ram

got it cuz it was the cheapest

[fluid matrix]

is cl38 really that bad?

[grizzled frost]

yes

[grizzled frost]

the best VA monitor is better than the best IPS monitor, but the average IPS monitor is better than the average VA monitor

[hallow jasper]

This is accurate.

[latent gull]

What about TN

[hallow jasper]

Historically always trash, however there are some pricey e-sports TN's that offer better IQ in some aspects than lower end VA's.

Point is, generalizing simply by LCD sub-type isn't great

[latent gull]

That was my understanding, I’ve got a friend who really likes his TN panel but I didn’t think they were generally that good

[latent gull]

You right, everyone should just get an OLED instead

[hallow jasper]

People shit on VA's but Iroh is right, Samsung's Neo models with excellent mini-LED backlighting are some of the best LCD's you can get.

your $150 Acer VA though? Probably trash

[hallow jasper]

Most LCD based high end TV's are all VA

[plain cypress]

IPS and VA can both have great quality panels

But low end VA tends to be worse than low end IPS

[south arrow]

Tbh with no other monitor right beside it, they all look fine

[hallow jasper]

what this isn't taking into account is backlight type

[south arrow]

Also older refrence*

[plain cypress]

Also there was a time that Samsung was making IPS panels but couldn't use the IPS name

So they had "PLS" panels

[latent gull]

This is what I’ve been using for a couple years, it was a decent cheap monitor but I really want an OLED here in the next year or two https://a.co/d/07nQnDN

[hallow jasper]

I thought my 2010 spec $2000 (when new, i bought a floor model) Dell 3008WFP was hot shit back in the day, and it was. But man...

[winged sky]

Love the corsair mouse

[hallow jasper]

Its amazing how your view of things changes when you have better experiences

cause that looks like TRASH now

[south arrow]

Need coffeees

[frigid blade]

Just squint and everything looks better

[winged sky]

Everything looks better when you're blind

[hallow jasper]

thats.. maybe true?

[south arrow]

Its not bad exactly but if sparks put his 4k latest model next to it. Its age becomes more apparent

[plain cypress]

My roommate briefly had some very expensive Samsung dual 4k mini LED monitor

[azure topaz]

TN has the fastest response/generally hz but at the cost of...everything....

[winged sky]

Briefly?

[plain cypress]

It was VA and just not enough backlight zones

[azure topaz]

although i will say my S2716DG is perfectly fine

[plain cypress]

For a $1500 or more monitor, it had a trash panel when WOLEDs existed

[hallow jasper]

the classic

[winged sky]

1500$ for a monitor is just insanity

[hallow jasper]

for someone spending $2500+ on a GPU, not really

[hallow jasper]

your display is a MASSIVE part of your experience

[azure topaz]

the monitor is the only part of your computer that you care about seeing

[latent gull]

Is there a gpu for more than 2500$?

[azure topaz]

and directly dictates how good your experience can be

[hallow jasper]

Absolutely

[ivory mountain]

i had a really solid HVA monitor and it lowkey is nearly better than my gigabyte m27q x

[plain cypress]

It isn't but okay

Although, $1500 for a mediocre VA panel does not spark joy

[azure topaz]

LOL

get out peter. you do not spark joy.

[pulsar root]

Hmmm... Is it worth to upgrade my 3080ti to a 9070xt? I can get a 9070xt for $520, sell my 3080ti for around $420. I do have the intent to switch to Linux so amd does benefit there

[plain cypress]

Floppa you're too young for that meme

[azure topaz]

okay so ill just jump off a bridge

[ivory mountain]

yes the 9070xt slams it

[plain cypress]

Put it on YouTube

[azure topaz]

i got you

[winged sky]

https://tenor.com/view/peter-griffin-gif-11725800145853034187

[ivory mountain]

someone slide me an oled i wanna try it out

[pulsar root]

It's very surprising how competitive the 9070xt is huh

[azure topaz]

come over and try mine

[plain cypress]

The real W is finding someone to buy a 3080ti for $400+

[winged sky]

Tiny arms Peter always sparks joy

[azure topaz]

its great until you try super oled™

[plain cypress]

I want AMOLED monitor

[ivory mountain]

ima delete all ur bios settings and take ur ram when i come over, no more 9000mt/s for u bub

[hallow jasper]

I love this shot of someones girlfriend playing rollercoaster tycoon classic on an LG 5k/2k

[winged sky]

Me when I bought my 3080ti for 500 bucks in 2023

[plain cypress]

Samsung give me super AMOLED 2X monitor

[azure topaz]

deleting the ram settings that arent saved to a bios profile in the first pplace

and like i cant just go buy another kit that does 9k

[pulsar root]

Why's that? Hardwareswap is showing they're $400-420

[azure topaz]

becaause cards like the 9060xt are smarter choices

or a 16GB 5060ti

[plain cypress]

Incredible

I guess it's vram equivalent to a 5070 still so maybe that price isn't top crazy

[ivory mountain]

ill just pour liquid metal all over ur computer then

[azure topaz]

i will just turn it off

[ivory mountain]

broooo quit countering every thought i have

[azure topaz]

i hate that these french bitches got the mpower first btw

[ivory mountain]

anyways i gotta go to job interview bye bye chat

[rigid fjord]

if you must destroy a pc, just use thermite

[plain cypress]

@azure topaz you better be next bro

[azure topaz]

tell your manager you know a weird african cat who can fix outlook like a mf

[south arrow]

XD

[plain cypress]

Actually how do I fix it

[azure topaz]

whats up

[plain cypress]

Old outlook is so fucking slow

[azure topaz]

youre not helping

[plain cypress]

New outlook just doesn't open anymore, I tried resetting and reinstalling

It crashed on Friday and it won't come back

[azure topaz]

reinstalling which part

[winged sky]

..you guys use the outlook app?

[azure topaz]

brother what

[azure topaz]

like, all of 365?

[plain cypress]

Theoretically the outlook app but in practice idk if that is any more than a shortcut to some other Microsoft app directory

[plain cypress]

Just outlook (new)

[vast thorn]

does anyone have any idea on why i can't seem to get displayport working for my monitor
the gpu is an asus prime rx 9060 xt
and the monitor is an acer nitro xv272u v3

[plain cypress]

https://tenor.com/view/friday-job-word-for-today-gif-4856694457542600608

[winged sky]

Outlook has its own standalone application both on mobile and on pc. The mobile one straight up doesnt work and the one on windows is absolute ass

[azure topaz]

the mobile one works fine

[winged sky]

I couldnt get it to work for me

Which is weird

[south arrow]

[azure topaz]

does your job use an on prem exchange server?

[winged sky]

Cause I have an outlook account

[winged sky]

Wuh

[azure topaz]

wuh

[winged sky]

No?

Its a personal account

[plain cypress]

What's the way to check for this

[azure topaz]

i was asking him not you

[winged sky]

Unfortunately my very first email was a hotmail account

[plain cypress]

Fuck

[azure topaz]

but also if you were using outlook new, the answer is no

[south arrow]

Have you guys checked for updates via play store or the Microsoft store?

[winged sky]

I dont use windows anymore, lol

[azure topaz]

id unistall all of 365 and reinstall it tho carter

[plain cypress]

I search outlook -> right click -> app settings -> try repair, then reset, the uninstall and reinstall.

All broken

[azure topaz]

check appdata folders for stuff left behind

[plain cypress]

If I have to reinstall it, do I need IT to download it again

[azure topaz]

as in admin permission?

cause yeah

but realistically id just make a ticket for this why are you using me

[winged sky]

Use revo Uninstaller, might help

[azure topaz]

cant believe i just said "make a ticket bro" to someone on discord

[left dove]

because you're here and we like interacting with you :(

[azure topaz]

wuh

[left dove]

[plain cypress]

No, next question please

[azure topaz]

cross fire LOL

[left dove]

stop using multi gpu for gaming for fuck sake

[azure topaz]

navy its ok hes got a board that is crossfire compatible with the little stupid bridge, duh

[left dove]

LOL

[orchid trellis]

No

[left dove]

ok then enjoy your worse time off

[ionic peak]

you are a ship?

[plain cypress]

The actual answer is literally no

[left dove]

is crossfire even still a thing on new cards

[azure topaz]

no lmao

[plain cypress]

Literally no

[left dove]

like I know the bus went to intra-pcie- yeah that's what I thought

[plain cypress]

And I am not entertaining the thought of lossless scaling

[azure topaz]

for fucks sake wherre is the stupid crossfire sodimm thing

[plain cypress]

The realistic answer is multi GPU is dead

[left dove]

"guys I use this 1080ti and a 6800xt for lossless scaling"

[orchid trellis]

Maybe

[left dove]

multi gpu is very dead for anything but workstations or enterprise

[plain cypress]

Oh wait
@orchid trellis there's like 3 games that use direct x 12 multi GPU API. They may work in those games

[left dove]

WHY DID YOU TYELL HIM THAT

[plain cypress]

Ashes of the benchmark

[ionic peak]

you can be played in the new War thunder update

[orchid trellis]

[orchid trellis]

Can i offload physx onto a 2nd gpu?

If the main one is amd?

[azure topaz]

physx in hit games like

batman arkham night

borderlands 2

[left dove]

I mean you're british so you obviously have a shit view on what's good on tv

[orchid trellis]

Yes

[gloomy sleet]

what

[azure topaz]

why would you want to do that

[gloomy sleet]

we made chernobyl shut up

[plain cypress]

Does physx even work if your main GPU is AMD

[left dove]

no, hbo made chernobyl

[azure topaz]

& utopia

[gloomy sleet]

it was a sky production

[azure topaz]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utopia_(British_TV_series)

[orchid trellis]

Thats why im asking if i can offload it onto a 2nd that does support it

[left dove]

so you have one good show

[orchid trellis]

I have a 2080ti lying around doing nothing

[plain cypress]

You'll probably have better fps if you just leave physx off

[gloomy sleet]

not just good the highest show of all time

[azure topaz]

sell it

[orchid trellis]

No

[azure topaz]

then do nothing with it some more

[left dove]

help this is getting nightmareish

[plain cypress]

Do any newish games use physx

I've never experienced physx

[azure topaz]

no lmao physx is dead

it was gross in the games that did use it

[left dove]

its literally just physics computed on the card lmaO

[plain cypress]

@limber nacelle

[orchid trellis]

Im not selling it

[azure topaz]

borderlands two it just left shit all over the floor and memory leak

[left dove]

I REMEMBER THAT

fallout 4 the physx debris shit never worked

[azure topaz]

yeah it actually just crashed on later cards so

not later as in th enew ones that dont have the supporrt

as in like fuckin, 10 series

[left dove]

You still have to mod it out of the game i think

I wonder if it's in the anneversary edition too

[azure topaz]

wow guys

[left dove]

LOL that looks like ass

[azure topaz]

it leaves shit all over the floor and sucks up too many system resources for a 32 bit game to enjoy

in what aspect is this acid

[plain cypress]

I played AC4 on console

And unity

And cod ghosts

[left dove]

ace combat 4 was goated

[azure topaz]

thats not

[plain cypress]

Yeah PS4 didn't support physx yet the games were still fun

[plain cypress]

My intro was AC3 lol

[azure topaz]

you CANNOT sneak 6 in there and expect me not to notice

[plain cypress]

Less focused on the ancient religion, more focused on killing brits

[left dove]

FC6 IS GREAT WEYM

[azure topaz]

2,3,4, and blood dragon

primal was also good but only if you forgot it was a far cry game

[ebon marlin]

25€ down the drain

[left dove]

primal was fucking STUPID

[orchid trellis]

Remember when the borderlands movie came out? Shit was so ass that the entire borderlands collection on steam was like 90+% off with dlcs included

[azure topaz]

thats why i put the end bit on

[left dove]

nah fuck off primal was just shit

[azure topaz]

i thought it was cool

one of my fav youtubers has a good retrospective on it

[left dove]

ubisoft or not it was so dumb calling it a far cry game

it's a far cry from a far cry game

I think i deleted the screenshot of my buying every borderlands game and dlc on steam, a $400+ value for like $30

[azure topaz]

i got handsome collection for my gf for like 7$

[left dove]

yoooo all the lego games are like, stupid on sale rn

[azure topaz]

i have an iphone SE2 still on ios 15

[plain cypress]

Anyways, @orchid trellis you will genuinely have a better experience running a single GPU than trying to get any form of multi GPU working in 2025

[azure topaz]

wait how th e fuck

[plain cypress]

Just use the computer

[azure topaz]

this phone has the ios 26 update prrompt but my 12 pro max doesnt

[hallow jasper]

my ipad 10 has the same SoC as 12 Pro Max

my ipad 10 runs iOS 26 terribly

[azure topaz]

i dont want it trust me

but its wweird that my mini iphone 11 has the prompt

but my iphone 12 pm doesnt

[plain cypress]

My iPad is the same soc as iPhone 12

[azure topaz]

Silly thing

[azure topaz]

max models and ipads have more rrram tho iirc

[plain cypress]

Oh that was before they did larger GPUs for pro phones

Yeah the 12PM probably has more ram than the iPads but I can't be bothered to verify

[azure topaz]

Pretty sure it does

[plain cypress]

My guess is 6gb and 4gb respectively

[azure topaz]

This phone gets old discord mobile and it’s much better

I think it’s 4 and 3gn

[hallow jasper]

6GB in 12PM vs 4GB in iPad 10 that I have

[plain cypress]

Not in 2020

[azure topaz]

oh u right

[orchid trellis]

I think i have the m4 ipad pro

[fringe prairie]

damn

[azure topaz]

Jailbreak able is cool

[golden sage]

[hallow jasper]

the one you want and is comfortable

[cold skiff]

Whichever mouse suits your grip and movement preferences

[cosmic lance]

How could I possibly know

I havent bought any of them

[hallow jasper]

No RGB on a wireless mouse

pointless and cuts battery life drastically

[cold skiff]

Well you know your grip

You can see how the mouse is shaped. Make an educated guess

[hallow jasper]

How could we know what you'll prefer?

If you don’t like it return it

Holy moly your right, thanks for the help

[cold skiff]

I like a razer death adder for shape. I do not like razer. I bought an attack shark r1. It’s literally the same mould, but a little more stream lined. It’s also not razer. It worked out well for me

Logical thinking like that works

[hallow jasper]

nice site for comparing shapes https://www.eloshapes.com/mouse/compare?p=arbiter-studio-akitsu-medium-vs.-g-wolves-lycan-8k-vs.-hitscan-hyperlight

remove and add as many as you want

also the "Find Similar" tool is helpful

[grim lily]

Hi everyone

Do you know optimum?

I mean that's kinda the stupidest question ever but still

[left dove]

as long as you mean the youtuber and not something you're about to advertise

[grim lily]

Yes I mean the YouTuber

[ocean axle]

which one, and how much?

[orchid trellis]

I said im not selling it

[grim lily]

Guys should I upgrade now or wait 3 years I have AMD FX 8350 and GTX 1080

[ocean axle]

you have 6 2080tis?

[grim lily]

💀

[left dove]

ennui sleeps on a bed of turing cards

[ocean axle]

about 3 months ago would have been a good time to upgrade

[orchid trellis]

He needs more. Just not mine

[left dove]

aint getting mine

@limber nacelle i might buy one from you though

[winged sky]

[grim lily]

Well I was and still am waiting for 5070 ti to get cheaper

[ionic peak]

https://tenor.com/view/hot-cpu-cooking-cpu-gif-22372721

[orchid trellis]

@limber nacelle what 2080ti’s do you have?

[warm anvil]

I'm trynna go into my BIOS but my laptops right arrow key is broken😭

[ocean axle]

any price difference in that card just got eaten by RAM prices going through the roof

[winged sky]

Yummers

[left dove]

if ennui has a reference model i will buy

[ocean axle]

eww, dont want reference

[limber nacelle]

if i do end up selling them sure

[ocean axle]

or, wait, ref is fine, booo founders

[left dove]

based thanks queen

[orchid trellis]

I have an evga 2080ti xc ultra

[limber nacelle]

2 are dead

[ocean axle]

ok, and what about the otherr 4?

[ionic peak]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-rip-sad-sponge-bob-stephen-hillenburg-crying-sponge-bob-squidward-gif-12966776

[grim lily]

Guys should I get a 5070ti or wait for a better amd card

[winged sky]

What??? Whats wrong with founders cards

[limber nacelle]

theyre all ref, but not founders

[orchid trellis]

Wait for amd. Nvidia sucks

[ionic peak]

6070 you shoukd get next year

[limber nacelle]

theyre blowers

[grim lily]

And what CPU should I pair with a 5070 ti if I get it

[ocean axle]

the Turing ones aren't great, nor blowers

[grim lily]

It's for blender and 4k editing tho

[orchid trellis]

I stand by my statement

[winged sky]

Ah yeah blower cards are no bueno

[ocean axle]

they aren't blower

[limber nacelle]

3 are in my pc and one is waiting for a cooler from china so I can slot in the bottom

[ocean axle]

but they also aren't that good

[winged sky]

I was thinking of ampere

[left dove]

turing reference design is goated

[winged sky]

O wtf

[ocean axle]

so they dont have the benefits of blower, but aren't good enough otherwise

my 2080ti is actually a blower card, which is on purpose

[orchid trellis]

Those look very choked off

[ocean axle]

blowers throwing all of the exhaust out the back can be very helpful, or in my case the uniform size of them

[limber nacelle]

theyre blowers, they'll be fine

[winged sky]

Toasty bois

[ocean axle]

but, why?

[winged sky]

Imagine a blower style 5090

[limber nacelle]

cause why not

[orchid trellis]

Where they getting air from?

[ocean axle]

SLI is dead, and 2080ti can only do 2-way anyway

and for any compute use, other cards would probably be better

[limber nacelle]

oh I wasnt using it for games anyways

[limber nacelle]

true, but i got mine for cheap

ive never completed phase 4...

[winged sky]

I completed 1.0

[left dove]

I have to triple my iron output and probably move a whole sub-factory to the middle of the map for more nitrogen and bauxite

[winged sky]

Haven't completed any of the newer stuff yet

[left dove]

tier 9 you get portals i think

[ocean axle]

see, the thing i liked to do, was just build out some stupidly large supply factories

[winged sky]

Does it come with a sassy ai that tries to kill you with neurotoxin?

[ocean axle]

so, all of the desert's iron and copper, i had handled, and then loaded onto trains

[left dove]

also collect mercer spheres, ADA and the organism have conversations with each other, it's neat

[ocean axle]

and if you are wondering how the fuck we had the train throughput for that, double tracked map loop bby

[left dove]

AUGH.

[ocean axle]

w/ the main factory being over the water in the north west

[ocean axle]

oh eww

[left dove]

I was drinking a lot of whiskey when I started this

[winged sky]

Gourmet spaghetti

[left dove]

its such a pretty game

I don't actually

I really don't jive with 2d games

https://tenor.com/view/cat-catcry-gif-19131995

[left dove]

like, isometric is as low as I go

I just bought the last caretaker which is like satisfactory but more story

[winged sky]

I love the complexity of factorio

Especially space age

[left dove]

also satisfactory got a boombox and you can find a deep rock galactic mixtape

[latent gull]

[ocean axle]

fuck, gleba

[latent gull]

[winged sky]

Gleba actually isnt that hard for me tbh

[left dove]

Sing me your songs of blood and temples and bones and blood and tapestries from the ripples

[ocean axle]

i had the timeout on everything

i need a trash that can keep up with my spoilage

[winged sky]

As long as you keep an inverter at the end of each belt to pull spoilage off, youll be alright on gleba

[winged sky]

You can burn it

[ocean axle]

oh ffs warship...

i didn't have enough power draw.....

[left dove]

rogue lets play satisfactory sometime

[ocean axle]

you will probably hate the way i play shatis

[winged sky]

No satisfactory for me?

I don't know you that much but maybe

[winged sky]

Fair lol

[ocean axle]

when i build things i build all of one thing, then move on to the next

[left dove]

I mean hey I'll follow actual factory shit if someone else in my game does

I've never used trains or trucks

[ocean axle]

so, when i build out iron processing, i build out iron processing for that entire section of the map

[winged sky]

I love building factory towers

[left dove]

jesus fuck

[ocean axle]

one time i built out oil

[left dove]

ok america calm down

[ocean axle]

all of it, the entire map

[winged sky]

My last factory looked like the tower from half life

[left dove]

to be fair this time around I am color-coding stuff

[ocean axle]

do this a lot in MC

[ocean axle]

oh, i dont do that

[winged sky]

Especially with the create mod

[left dove]

I've had to otherwise I get lost 😔

[ocean axle]

i prefer my own mods

[winged sky]

?

[left dove]

I also hate that you can scrap everything except fucking nuclear waste

[winged sky]

You made factory mods?

[ocean axle]

ehh, a part of factory mods

[left dove]

"ficsit does not waste" WHY DO YOU LET ME WITH EVERYTHING ELSE THEN

[ocean axle]

i've never actually used create

[left dove]

Fucking ree, ficsit

[ocean axle]

oh also, would have to wait a few months, because i gotta move, and thats taking my time, and then time zones are liable to be a problem

yay moving across a continent and ocean!

[left dove]

I can work with timezones lol

[ocean axle]

what timezone are you in?

[winged sky]

They dont waste, they offload it to you for you to waste XD

[left dove]

-8

[ocean axle]

ahh, so, PST

ill be in CET, which is currently +1

[left dove]

oh thats not bad at all

[ocean axle]

9hr difference...

[winged sky]

Its very fun, and its got a huge ecosystem of mods that are built with create at its core

[left dove]

I've worked with worse lmao

[winged sky]

And it works with other mods as well

[ocean axle]

im very aware

i just haven't used it myself

[winged sky]

If you have some spare time, dew it.

[left dove]

ok rogue you'll build the factories and I'll build the transportation infra

[warm hinge]

Which laptop is better

[ocean axle]

no, i dont think i will

[winged sky]

[warm hinge]

Lenovo Legion or Alienware Aurora 16?

[left dove]

you should know, you're a computer whiz

[left dove]

zephyrus g16

go premium or go home

[ocean axle]

if im doing anything with MC, at this point its not going to be playing it

[warm hinge]

No that's expensive

[winged sky]

...

[warm anvil]

i use a laptop connected to a monitor and external kb and mouse but when i enter the boot menu or bios it doesnt show on my monitor and my kbm dont work

it only shows on my laptops screen but my laptop keyboard is broken

[warm hinge]

I rather go with Alienware or Lenovo Legion at least both on them are discounted at Micro Center

[left dove]

I've kinda gotten back into minecraft vanilla

[warm hinge]

I don't play Minecraft that much I rather play Garry's Mod

[left dove]

so.. buy a new laptop keyboard?

a laptop keyboard is cheaper than a whole new laptop

oh two diff people whoops

[ocean axle]

yea, thats not going to happen for me

[warm anvil]

i mean the keyboard attached to my laptop

[left dove]

yeah, buy a new laptop keyboard

[warm anvil]

my external keyboard and stuff works but not in the bios menu

[left dove]

that's a thing you can do lmao

[warm anvil]

i didnt know that

[ocean axle]

its a bit hard to wanna play the game that is your day job

[left dove]

go look up your SPECIFIC MODEL OF LAPTOP and look for replacement keyboards

[plain cypress]

People have varying hand sizes
Shocker

[warm anvil]

still is it possible for my pc to pick up my external keyboard in boot menu

[left dove]

..Your day job is minecraft wtf

[ocean axle]

see, ^

[winged sky]

Yes but I have small hands, and even then some mice are way too small

[plain cypress]

Comfort is highly subjective

[left dove]

g502 best mouse of all time everything else sucks

[warm anvil]

i have a pretty small mouse with a 60 percent keyboard

[winged sky]

Corsair harpoon goated

[left dove]

gross

[plain cypress]

Wtf

[winged sky]

[valid laurel]

the case was £80

[ocean axle]

soon™, its why im moving

[warm anvil]

i use the logitech g203 lightsync with an rk61 keyboard

[left dove]

I still have my og rev 1 g502 wired

[winged sky]

60% keyboards...

[left dove]

but now i have the lightspeed variant with no rgb woooo

[warm anvil]

i got small hands

[ocean axle]

g502 (not g502x) best mouse

[left dove]

i wish the x was heavier

[warm anvil]

i had a g502 but it broke last year

[winged sky]

Concrete

[ocean axle]

thats one of my problems with the X, but not my only one

[left dove]

nah I just wish the 502x had the same modular weight system the non-x had

[winged sky]

Youd think the x version would be the cooler one

[left dove]

it is, no wires

[ocean axle]

no, thats the lightspeed

[left dove]

oh, well I have the x lightspeed

[ocean axle]

g502x is a completely differrent mouse

i have g502 lightspeeds

[left dove]

I love mine so much

[ocean axle]

yes plural, i have three of them

[left dove]

I also have the pro x 2 wireless headsets

[ocean axle]

eww wireless headset

[left dove]

nonono its actually really good

guilty how did my voice quality sound in the tc2 party

[hallow jasper]

uhh

[left dove]

its okay if you don't remember

[ocean axle]

:xdoubt:

[plain cypress]

Like a wireless headset

[hallow jasper]

I wasn't really in there that much

[winged sky]

Idddkkkkk I absolutely love my skullcandy crusher evos

[left dove]

true, you were kinda in'n'out

ew, skullcandy in 2025

[ocean axle]

skullcandy
so your opinion is garbage

[plain cypress]

To be clear, wireless headset quality is fine for voice chat

[winged sky]

?

[left dove]

I get autistic about headphone wires hitting me or my clothes

so wireless = based

[ocean axle]

i like my wired headphones

really like my DCA Noire X

[winged sky]

I have never had a bad experience with them, soooooo whats your point

[left dove]

hmy headphones can be wired, or bluetooth, or lightspeed

[plain cypress]

I'll just keep using my Sennheisers for the next 20 years

[hallow jasper]

I really don't like the wires on my HD650's but i simply don't use headphones much

[winged sky]

I love the bass slider

Thats the reason I got them

[plain cypress]

The single cable models are less obtrusive

[brazen glen]

Best thing I ever did for myself was buying AirPods Pro 2s. I finally have wireless earbuds I can’t lose

[ocean axle]

as a brand they have a V shaped sound signature

and a bad one at that

[winged sky]

So does... every other brand for the most part

[left dove]

baaaaased 10 am corona delivery lets goooo

[ocean axle]

no, they really dont

[left dove]

mine sure as fuck dont lmao

[odd marsh]

same situation on my Hifimans, it's not ideal but oh well

[plain cypress]

The stock cable was ass, I replaced it immediately

[odd marsh]

but I really don't use my headphones anymore

[brazen glen]

Drinking beer at work should be normalized, and perhaps even valorized

[hallow jasper]

👀

[plain cypress]

(not my image)

[left dove]

ha, you think I work

[ocean axle]

i suggest you go look at the response curve for the above mentioned DCA Noire X, for a closed back its very flat

[winged sky]

Ok, but that can be changed with an eq. And not only that, they sound perfectly fine

[plain cypress]

I uhhhh, well, hmmmm, you see

What the fuck

[ocean axle]

DCA E3 is better still, but i prefer the slightly higher bass response of the Noire X

[odd marsh]

you're compromising the sound quality by putting something in front of the drivers!!!!! /s

[hallow jasper]

oh noooo

[odd marsh]

https://tenor.com/view/oh-no-oh-no-anyway-gif-18887547

[brazen glen]

Ah, well. Nevertheless

[ocean axle]

theres also just an overall quality issue

[winged sky]

I love the big stinky bass of crusher evos, what can I say

[dapper dragon]

I bought the pro 3s

[winged sky]

Wot?

[odd marsh]

I do prefer the look of my Senny HD6XXs over my Ananda

[ocean axle]

if you've never used good speakers/headphones, you'll be fine with the garbage

[dapper dragon]

And still go back to my 2s

[winged sky]

Man ive used all sorts of headphones. I like what I like. Ya dont gotta be an ass about it

[hallow jasper]

Ignorance is bliss with audio gear.

[true adder]

chat i just bought this

[dapper dragon]

Decent monitor

[odd marsh]

i hope not for $900

[true adder]

noo

[ocean axle]

i have a stage subwoofer under my desk, its real nice when the bass response isn't faked, and it shakes my room

[true adder]

its US site im not from US but its just for the language

[odd marsh]

I rarely use my headhones now, getting a subwoofer for my fives was the right move

[true adder]

i paid 531

[dapper dragon]

Wait $900? Is that USD?

[odd marsh]

ah ok solid

[true adder]

yes in US its 900 dollars

[winged sky]

I wish I could use my soundsystem more. When no one is home it rattles the house

[dapper dragon]

There are better monitors for the price if you paid $900 lol but seems you didn’t

[ocean axle]

and also has a really clean response curve, so its not overblown at any freq

[true adder]

its best i could find for around 500 euros

[dapper dragon]

I’m not an audiophile at all, if it has good bass I like it

[odd marsh]

as do most people

nothing wrong with that

[true adder]

I do appreciate high quality sound

Sometimes I listen to SoundCloud but the quality is SO bad

[winged sky]

Apparently there is if you like skullcandy crushers 🙄

[dapper dragon]

I use the the Z625 Logitech 2.1

[odd marsh]

i gotta partially agree about the skullcandy part

[winged sky]

Ok will someone tell me wtf is wrong with skullcandy? They've been more than fine

[dapper dragon]

Iirc they’re super inaccurate

[winged sky]

Eh?

They dont sound all that different even from higher end headphones

Maybe im just the opposite of an audiophile

[brazen glen]

I’ll probably do the same when they go on sale next year lol

[dapper dragon]

Don’t, if anything it’s a downgrade imo

[winged sky]

But fr though, everything sounds amazing through them, so who am I to complain? They got the big bass i like too

[dapper dragon]

The 2x noise cancellation is not even noticeable really and the transparency mode sounds significantly worse

[brazen glen]

I’ve heard that the default eq is a little fucked up but I am interested in the improved anc

[dapper dragon]

That’s the main reason I got them, I don’t really notice a difference

[ocean axle]

FWIW, im not shitting on them having "big bass"

[dapper dragon]

The 2s are also more comfortable but that’s subjective

[warm anvil]

is there a third party program that lets me install asus drivers faster or do i gotta sit through this for like 30 minutes

[ocean axle]

im very much a basshead myself, but i dont like bad bass

[warm anvil]

is there a program that just installs everything i need

[brazen glen]

Honestly the money should probably go to a new phone, I’m still rocking a 13 pro

[winged sky]

Have you tried them?

[brazen glen]

Definitely the best phone I’ve ever had but the battery is getting tired

[ocean axle]

those specific ones no, but skullcandy stuff yes

[winged sky]

They're a lot better than the regular crushers

[left dove]

That was fucking cool, my delivery driver was an old customer at my first job that I haven't seen in like 2 years and now he literally lives down the road from me

[winged sky]

Small world

[left dove]

IT REALLY IS

https://youtu.be/CYlon2tvywA

[brazen glen]

lol the last time I took the gf out our waiter was a guy who used to process my bank deposits at work so I gave him a hella tip

[ocean axle]

but also, FWIW, im enough of a stickler with this that i dont like ported subs in general

[left dove]

oh I tipped my guy like $20

[winged sky]

https://youtu.be/lLN-KzBJQig?si=VRRC0cHD6ZniDaUr

Both of his vids are why I bought the first ones and then the evos

[ocean axle]

i have a large sealed sub, with a really nice response curve and good extension down into the sub-audible range

it can play bass i love you pretty well

[left dove]

oh god bass i love you

[winged sky]

Yeh but you're an audiophile

As long as it sounds decent and gives the big boom, I'll probably like it

[odd marsh]

they just look cheap imo

[winged sky]

Fr? Cause they definitely dont feel cheap

The only think I changed were the ear cushions

But that was for prefrence

[dapper dragon]

More of an upgrade than the 3s would be

[ocean axle]

i mean, to an extent, but some of my complaints (port chuff) are reasonable

i realize not eveyrone is going to care about sub-20hz response

but port chuff is ass

[left dove]

omg port chuff is such a good name

lmao I just call it hole turbulence

[winged sky]

Is that where it whistles a bit? I have a Bluetooth speaker that I got years ago that does that

[ocean axle]

kinda?

[odd marsh]

yeah that plastic just screams cheap to me

[winged sky]

.......? Most headphones are plastic

[ocean axle]

port chuff is the main reason i prefer sealed subs

[left dove]

mine have a lot of metal

[winged sky]

I said most

[odd marsh]

there are different kinds of plastic

[ocean axle]

second is the better low end response they can get

[winged sky]

Its a thick textured plastic, it actually feels pretty nice even if it "looks" cheap

[dapper dragon]

My headphones sound average, I just love how comfortable they are

G435 lightspeeds

[ocean axle]

mine have gorilla glass (thats not a joke)

[winged sky]

Glass headphones

[ocean axle]

https://danclarkaudio.com/noirex.html

[winged sky]

Huh

Holy fuck

[odd marsh]

yeah those fuck hard

[winged sky]

$1,100!?!?

[odd marsh]

mine's mostly metal

[grave pulsar]

why are there so many different thermal pastes, whats a good one for my laptop

[ocean axle]

i didn't buy them new, but that is their new price

[thorn pewter]

my dads friend donated me his old pc now, just wondering should i do 980ti two way sli witht he i7 3700k he had in it?

[odd marsh]

arctic mx-6

[grave pulsar]

ty

[ocean axle]

but also, that should give you an idea for the difference between your "higher end" and my "higher end"

[left dove]

get a better pc pls

[thorn pewter]

this is for a side project not my main

[ocean axle]

particularly when im also comparing to these, https://danclarkaudio.com/e3.html

[dapper dragon]

So weird seeing how much people spend on things they like when you yourself don’t care for them

[brazen glen]

Collectors tend to pay too much for old flagships so u could probably get a fair bit of cash for them

[ocean axle]

for me, part of it is all day comfort

[dapper dragon]

$1,100 on headphones is insane to me lmao this must be how people feel when I pay OLED tax

[brazen glen]

Or, have fun with SLI lol

[ocean axle]

i sit at a desk with them on all day

[thorn pewter]

i can get them for about 120 usd not bad tbh

[ocean axle]

sound qualities i dont care about from a this sounds bad perspective matter a lot more when used like that

[thorn pewter]

funny enough i did use at one point a 3700 non k wayy back

[ocean axle]

do you mean 3770(k)?

2700k exists, 3700k does not, 3770k does

[winged sky]

Welp. Damn. That whole situation is shitty

[dapper dragon]

That’s why I like my airpods or Logitechs, the logitechs were like $60 but are hella comfortable

[thorn pewter]

oh yeah forgot to add the extra 7 lol

[ocean axle]

oh, its not the physical comfort i mean there

[dapper dragon]

My headphones weigh 165g lol

[ocean axle]

they are good for that too, but its like "head pressure" comfort

[dapper dragon]

Gotcha

[ocean axle]

the Noires are a lot better for that than my Cascades

i really like my cascades, but besides their weight, they get uncomfortable to listen to after so long

campfire cascade: https://www.campfireaudio.com/products/cascade

basically the EDM/basshead headphones

[quick stag]

guys apple pre inflated the ram prices so they wouldnt have to increase them later on, apple is so pro consumer

[left dove]

thats basically what it's always been

[thorn pewter]

so from the 4x4 ddr3 sticks it has in it i think the max the cpu could have is 32 gigs so ill go with that

[left dove]

[cold skiff]

They’re just losing margin and profit now. It’s okay they’ll bump it up another $200 soon

[ivory mountain]

[sleek ibex]

the joke is that they based their ram prices starting 10 years ago based on today’s prices

[thorn pewter]

[grizzled frost]

usually 4 pcie lanes are reserved for the chipset

[left dove]

back then it was DMI

[grizzled frost]

so you’re looking at more like 4 lanes per gpu

[left dove]

[left dove]

I like calling them out in here because everyone dogpiles them

[thorn pewter]

[brazen glen]

Advanced Graphics Port has become an unfortunate homophone is why

[winged sky]

Misery loves company

.. Didn't think I'd see USB 1.0 on a board newer than 2010, but, oh wow

[winged sky]

God damnit now theres coffee running out of my nose

[kindred halo]

This Biostar H310 I am looking at has three generations of USB in one rear I/O

[sleek ibex]

USB 1 is Slot 1/A era shit

[kindred halo]

Literally 1998 iirc

[left dove]

I remember encountering bubble macs with usb and being flabbergasted

[sleek ibex]

My first computer is from that era

[winged sky]

Hell even my pentium 3 laptop has usb1

Just a single port though

[sleek ibex]

My K6-2 had a couple

It was like early ATX Socket 7

[kindred halo]

I unfortunately can't join this conversation as my first device was a mobile third gen i3 laptop

[cold skiff]

Ewww. You didn’t have old tech,

[thorn pewter]

Okay any x99 motherboard on fbmk is really cheap so ig ill just do that

[winged sky]

Oh yeah mine was some cheap ass hp laptops from 2013. I just happened to have a coworker that had an ancient laptop XD

My first desktop was a beat to hell hp Compaq with a core 2 duo e8400

[kindred halo]

I mean, SATA III is older than me, I kinda couldn't have much old tech

[kindred halo]

Interesting..
My first experience with desktops was some random office machine with an i5 4460, 1TB HDD, and 8GB of 1600

[winged sky]

Yeh I got it free from school, I also got a quadro k2200 from there and slapped it in with either 4 or 8gb of ram and a 1tb hdd. Ima have to find pictures of it

[kindred halo]

K2200? Lucky..

All I had was this flimsy HD 4600! (iGPU)

[grave pulsar]

why does my laptop cpu go from a consistent 80-85C 3ghz to 79-80C 2.6ghz in games

nothing but problems im getting

[left dove]

sounds normal

because you're loading many cores with a limited power budget, it's not gonna continue boosting as high as it was as if it was just web browsing or video loads

[winged sky]

My first desktop

[grave pulsar]

why wont it sustain a high clock tho

[winged sky]

@kindred halo

[grave pulsar]

why does it want to default to a 2.6ghz, and give me worse performance

[winter lantern]

Laptops do that

[grave pulsar]

damn

even tho it can clearly sustain 3ghz

[kindred halo]

That looks AWESOME

I fuckin love it

[left dove]

At a lower load on the processor

[grave pulsar]

it happens mid way playing

3ghz in game, then after 5 mins a sudden drop to 2.6ghz

[left dove]

This is normal

[grave pulsar]

i just want higher fps

[left dove]

get a better laptop

[grave pulsar]

what the point in fixing my thermals if fixing it wont do anything

i dont even get 2.6ghz bun this laptop

[ivory mountain]

boiii ur laptop is odin din din done

[winged sky]
