[brazen glen]

Okay

[feral night]

So hey, ive got a problem right now. i got the coolermaster 412S gifted but its missing its mounting brackets (only backplate i got). CoolerMaster doesnt list this Cooler. I tried to search for spare parts for it in their store, without success. The Coolermaster Hyper 212 Evo has optical identical mounting brackets. Are those compatible? Or where can i get the Accessories Kit for the 412s?

[left dove]

Should work fine

looking at CM's lineup they recycle their cooler-to-board mounting schtick

[stark flicker]

For a 5080 is the one before last ok?

Adaptator has 3 cables, I do 8 + 8+8pins

[left dove]

the 450w config?

should be aight

[stark flicker]

Yeah

Also, will I lose a lot of performance with the quiet bios?

[left dove]

Just use the loud bios and pin the fans to a fixed rpm in afterburner

[stark flicker]

Okay, maybe it's quiet even in perf mode

Such a big gpu lmao

[left dove]

That's how I felt when I unboxed my 5070ti asus prime lol

[wheat torrent]

what will you use such expensive motherboard for

[left dove]

who cares that's a mega good trade

you'd be stupid to not go for that

[wheat torrent]

this was mine

[viral kayak]

the motherboard is worth more then the 3060 why wouldnt you

[left dove]

giving up a spare 3060ti for a baller-ass motherboard is a fucking no-brainer

[ivory mountain]

exactly lol

x870e's are minimum what like 200-250

[wheat torrent]

is 3060ti worth that little nowadays?

[left dove]

Yes.

lmao

[ivory mountain]

it barely beats a $120 5700xt id think so

[wheat torrent]

they going for 270 dollars in my country damn

cheap

[crisp bramble]

Traded 32gb ddr5 ram for an rtx 5060 and a pc case so i no longer need my 3060ti and i plan on upgrading my cpu in the near future so a decent motherboard would be nice to have

[viral kayak]

850 watts enough for a 12600k and a 4070?

[left dove]

yes

[left dove]

My guy out here doing full barter/trade for a new pc

good shit

[ivory mountain]

"traded 32gb ddr5 for an rtx 5060 and a pc case"

never thought id hear that sentence

[crisp bramble]

Exactly lmao

[frigid blade]

The thing about these ram prices is no one is paying listing price

[crisp bramble]

Its a beast

[ivory mountain]

can ebay take my money off fucking hold dude like his package was delivered 3 days ago

[frigid blade]

If you look at the auctions, they sell a good amount below the rest of the listing ones

[left dove]

oh my god I wanted that tt case for YEARS

[crisp bramble]

Didnt need 64gb of ddr5 ram anyway tbh

[left dove]

THIS is how modern shit should look if you're going for style

AUGH i love it

[crisp bramble]

Best part is i only paid $40 for 32gb ddr5 ram a month before the price increase

[wheat torrent]

thats 🔥

Life is wild right now

[ivory mountain]

[swift moss]

What are you on about king

Its malicious advertising

[frigid blade]

oh its an ad

[swift moss]

That's the point

Hard to spot that and so people click

[harsh whale]

I haven't been on the scene for a long while, wth happened to RAM prices?

[tulip sparrow]

AI

[carmine yew]

What do the masses think I should buy for a board?
https://www.neweggbusiness.com/product/productlist.aspx?n=601425182 601409764 601409372 601413460 601361682 100008791 8000

[tulip sparrow]

@harsh whale AI datacenters snatching it all up

[carmine yew]

yer fucked if you ain't got RAM already lol

[harsh whale]

Will it ever drop back?

[crisp bramble]

Once ai dies

[carmine yew]

Yes. When? Good luck.

Not before next summer. Probably later.

[harsh whale]

I was going to get a new setup around this time 😭 I was literally about to look for parts, but then got fucked with RAM prices

[tulip sparrow]

Glad I already own 32gb of ddr4 3200mhz for my 5800x3d system. Hopefully the AI bubble bursts and things go back to pre ai numbers but that will never happen just look at post cryto gpu prices to pre cypto prices

[carmine yew]

hit up used marketplaces, some people still sell RAM at sane prices

[tulip sparrow]

Older Intel/AMD will likely bt eh way to go

[carmine yew]

DDR4 isn';t any more reasonable

[tulip sparrow]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwJZztIrQO8

Yeah once the stock of ddr4 dries up that will be it

[harsh whale]

Holy shit, ~700$ for 64gbs

[tulip sparrow]

Intel 12-14th gen using a DDR4 board is your best bet for decent pricing on a system honestly

Yeah 96gb kits are $1k+

[harsh whale]

I found 32GB for 100$, but its 5600hz

[carmine yew]

TAKE IT

[frigid blade]

MT/s not Hz

[harsh whale]

The guy is like a couple hours away, it aint worth it

[tulip sparrow]

When the F did we switch from mhz to MT?

[carmine yew]

If you need RAM For a PC, ignore the fucking speeds and take it.

Faster RAM is not worth an extra 200-300 bucks

[carmine yew]

DDR1

[frigid blade]

5600MHz is 11,200 MT/s

[ocean axle]

when we switched from SDR to DDR

so, 1998

[frigid blade]

Literally all RAM is marketed with MT/s values

[ocean axle]

if you look closely, you may notice that its never actually said in mhz, but is something liek DDR5-6000, note the lack of a suffix on that 6000

[frigid blade]

bigger numbr = cooler

[ocean axle]

DDR5-6000 is 6000MT/s, 3000MHz

[frigid blade]

When does TDR come?

[ocean axle]

TDR? computers dont like that

but QDR and ODR do exist

[frigid blade]

on consumer boards?

[ocean axle]

consumer products, yes

GDDR5X is QDR

[ivory mountain]

why does 324983849 people that arent amazon come to my front door when i order something

[harsh whale]

This is a pretty good deal, but the storage is ass

[ocean axle]

QDR/ODR, depending on which clock is referenced

[harsh whale]

I should cop/s

[hallow jasper]

don't worry! we'll break out necks and transcribe the model number to lookup details on our own

😆

(also yes)

(thats an absurd deal)

[left dove]

thats an INSANE deal

[ivory mountain]

thats fucking 2100 usd 💀

[ivory mountain]

wtf how

[harsh whale]

Yea but there is a 9950X3D and 32GB of DDR5 RAM in it

[frigid blade]

nah it had shipping details

[frigid blade]

ohhh cuz its sideways

my bad

[hallow jasper]

$380 at BB normal price, $320 is wild

[ivory mountain]

ofc monitors get this cheap right after i buy mine

oh well

[frigid blade]

black friday + paypal deal

[hallow jasper]

thats the cheapest i've seen one of those panels

[frigid blade]

got it for $350 and after tax thats like $400 - 20% paypal cash back is $320

[ivory mountain]

damn nice

[frigid blade]

thats where i got it haha

coulda got it for $310 but they refused to apply my $10 credit because their system didnt recognize it until after the purchase

im a stickler for good deals and i needed to get my gf something nicer cuz anniversary and Christmas are like a few days apart

[crisp bramble]

Ah yes the ram van

[timber dragon]

hey guys this isnt a problem of mine but my friend needs some help, his ethernet refuses to work on certain games and his pc auto switches to wifi, any help? thanks.

[frigid blade]

disable wifi

[rocky warren]

Does anyone know what an ATT iphone 17pm would show its partially compatible with tmobile network, but a verizon 15pm shows its fully compatible? I plan on buying a 17pm and using mint mobile (tmobile towers) and want to make sure im not gonna run into any issues or performance issues,

[frigid blade]

carrier lock maybe

[worthy storm]

My friend got ts from china lmfao

[serene rampart]

Anyone ever use an adapter like this? I was thinking maybe it’d be cheaper to buy laptop ram with this adapter than buying DIMM

[timber dragon]

just means the game wont launch online

[hollow mulch]

install linux and it'll break the wifi

[swift moss]

At least candy was affordable, this is enticing, I'd fall

[hollow sorrel]

Bruh I never realised just how bad the ram shortage was 💀 the kit I got for £105 a few months ago is now over £300

[gleaming rose]

?

[timber dragon]

i didnt believe you and just checked, basic vengance lpx that was like £40 is £105 now

[south arrow]

Most OS iso should support x870s built in wifi by now

[hollow mulch]

?

[hollow sorrel]

Yeah it went up like 340%

[timber dragon]

i was about to finally upgrade this project pcs ram aswell i guess im waiting now

[pulsar root]

Anyone here about the 2080ti giveaway

[viral kayak]

lowkey im hoping i win

its a sick card and would be a good ugprade from my 1070

[pulsar root]

No way some people are like “only a 2080” 💀

[hollow mulch]

im fine with my 1650

[viral kayak]

i mean its a rare 2080ti too

[pulsar root]

Yeah cyberpunk edition

[viral kayak]

the cyberpunk edition was insanely limited

[pulsar root]

I’m sure there are tons of people who would be happy with a 2080ti; it’s still a great card

[viral kayak]

i would be very happy with one. plus saves me from buying a gpu now that ill be upgrading my pc very soon

[pulsar root]

And tbh the card looks really cool

Watch someone get it and they auction it off

[balmy tapir]

2080 giveaway?

[viral kayak]

some people wondered why not a 5080. but it probably wouldnt have been fitting since they probably wouldnt paint it in the cyberpunk theme

[pulsar root]

Yeah and “it’s a card from 2018”

[viral kayak]

nvidia is giving away a rare cyberpunk 2080 ti for cyberpunks 5 year anniversary

[balmy tapir]

ah, i mean its a tad silly to giveaway an old card, but would also be an upgrade for quite a few people

[pulsar root]

Yeah I mean even if it wasn’t a cyberpunk theme, it’s still a good card regardless

[hallow jasper]

Its a free, just for fun giveaway that was a limited production. Hurts no one and is kinda neat for collectors.

[viral kayak]

well old doesnt matter that much considering its better for the current owners of a cyberpunk 2080ti to giveaway the 2080ti then making a new 5080 or 5090 cyberpunk edition to giveaway

[viral kayak]

i would use it then keep it even after i upgrade as decoration if i won

[ivory mountain]

yayyy my package came

no more mobo audio

[hallow jasper]

I was confused and then I realized yeah I guess maybe a 2080Ti is still faster than something someone might have now

[viral kayak]

cool

[viral kayak]

i have a 1070 it would be quite the upgrade for me

[hallow jasper]

hope you don't have any beefy headphones to drive. The headphone output on at least the entry level Scarlett's is... weak, to say the least.

[hallow jasper]

Indeed it would, I went 1070 > 2080 Super back in 2019ish

[viral kayak]

the 2080ti isnt worth that much now adays tho so i could buy one even if i didnt win

but i think i would go bigger if i was buying a new graphics card

[ivory mountain]

My asrock board had tons of static for some reason, theyre just basic IEMS so its okay

[viral kayak]

have you tried using a diffrent port?

i have to use my speakers on blue instead of green because of static

[ivory mountain]

Their are only two on this board

[viral kayak]

damm

[timber dragon]

i just got a 5060ti 16gb and it seems to handle most things quite well

upgraded from a 1050ti at the start of the year to a 4060 that black screened 2 weeks ago now a 5060ti

[viral kayak]

ive been thinking of getting a 5060 ti 16gig but i dont know if it would really be that worth it

i dont play games over 1080p atleast for now because thats what my monitor supports

[empty quartz]

Fish

[true stirrup]

Way too political statement

[ivory mountain]

Mods ban him

[inner veldt]

Astral 5090 black or white? Both same price

Case is black but i guess white is more precious

[indigo basin]

this is fine...

[proven radish]

What's the difference between these two 5060 TI 16GB models? ASUS PRIME with three fans, and the ASUS DUAL with two fans?

[frigid blade]

the amount of fans

[brazen glen]

Dual will be louder and run hotter in all likelihood

[indigo basin]

one has 3 fans and one has 2 fans

[timber dragon]

i mean neither do i but having the ability to play most 1080p games at max and whatever fps i want is nice

[proven radish]

Sooo the asus prime will be better even though it is cheaper?

[indigo basin]

probably

[viral kayak]

yeah it will be better for cooling

[proven radish]

ah okay tysm

[topaz shale]

bros got the raid array in windows

what in the world

[shy olive]

Guys i installed windows 11 on second phone and when i tried to go to desk manager i found many instances of disks for some reason, the phone also completely got bricked not long ago.

But would any1 know why it had so many disks

[indigo basin]

its a single hard drive too 😭

[vital gyro]

I've been using Reunion 7 for about a month and it's awesome. It's literally just Windows 10 LTSC IoT but with a 7 theme, so it works with modern apps, runs on most of the latest hardware, and it's still supported until 2032.

[viscid helm]

I JUST realized RAM thing

omg

32GB DDR5 RAM $540 is crazy

[vital gyro]

12th-14th gen Intel is starting to look very good atm if you're building a new system since it still supports DDR4.

[viscid helm]

I'm using 13th gen isn't it also about Motherboard?

[tired bear]

https://tenor.com/view/super-bowl-live-under-a-rock-thats-enough-no-more-work-gif-16220317

[vital gyro]

Yes

[viscid helm]

yeah I can still edit videos with 32GB RAM but I wish I upgraded it a few months ago it was sooo cheap

I can't believe this

[vital gyro]

ASRock just made one that has both DDR4 and DDR5 slots, but you can't use both at the same time. For every other board though there's almost always a DDR4 version.

[warm saddle]

i have done the bios update but still:

[tired bear]

for lga 1700 yes, anything newer no

also no for am5

[vital gyro]

Hence why I said 12th-14th gen Intel earlier.

[soft lodge]

quick question
what does hags do

[tired bear]

cant wait for ai bubble to pop and all the good stuff goes to liquidation

[hallow jasper]

Its a default feature modern systems. no reason for it to be off if thats the ultimate question. Is there something you aren't clear on with existing explanations? https://www.gmicloud.ai/glossary/hardware-accelerated-gpu-scheduling

[sweet mountain]

How can I plug my arduino via usb c to my laptop for data transfer without providing any power to it?

[carmine yew]

huh?

What exactly are you trying to do

[sweet mountain]

My arduino type thing has a usb-c which can be used for power, or data logging, or both, but currently I can only get it to do both. I assume I need some sort of adapter which disconnects the power wire from the usb c cable before plugging it into my pc.

[tardy pine]

Y'all 3070 ti for 300 or 4070 for 400
Which should i pick up?

[carmine yew]

you realize it can't do data logging without powering the arduino

[sweet mountain]

yes its already connected to power on my pcb

[wheat torrent]

https://tenor.com/view/bogdanoff-he-sold-pump-it-gif-23606817

[carmine yew]

out of the two?
4070 imo.

But I'd look at a 5060 TI 16GB instead

[gloomy isle]

i called it (motherboard that supports ddr4 and 5) https://youtube.com/shorts/uWpJOz025mI?si=5_FTYxfgM9NW4G0M

[sweet mountain]

but powering it from the usb c port messes my circuit flow up

[stray portal]

i hate ztt

[gloomy isle]

[carmine yew]

meh, ZTT is fine

did u see when he collabed with ltt

unc had massive hunchback

unc doesnt go outside!!

[wheat torrent]

But it's not like ddr4 prices don't increase

dookie,., it was better before

[stray portal]

LINUX 🐧

[tired bear]

if possible leave a slot in between them empty or put wifi card there
currently top gpu is starving for air

or swap them around since top one has flow through heatsink

[cosmic stratus]

This is the best config unfortunately

Also dont need wifi card, I use LAN

[cosmic stratus]

Dont worry about the vega's temps, they're fine. That gpu never uses more than 100watts with my workloads that go along with the rx 6800 thankfully

[tepid pebble]

[twin grove]

I've been wondering how good are like the dual 7742 systems now I see a lot of dual socket mobos with the cpus for sale in the like $1800 price range. in that price range is there anything better? I want to build a home server/workstation and watercool it all

[cosmic stratus]

On a budget could probably rig up a precision t7820

For less than 500$

[twin grove]

yeah but aren't all those xeons?

I could get a single 7742 mobo for that price

[cosmic stratus]

Yea

[balmy tapir]

yes!

[twin grove]

I was wanting epyc because they have more cores plus I kinda wanted to build my own with the new thermaltake supertower

[cosmic stratus]

Mm

[stray portal]

What distro

[balmy tapir]

endeavour

[pale lance]

what’s a good gpu to go with my intel i7-12700k for gaming?

[twin grove]

yeah I can get a 7601 cpu and mobo for like $550

[brazen glen]

Anything modern in the mid-high end range

[cosmic stratus]

I mean thats a whole system for 500

[balmy tapir]

like 2080 to 5090 tbh

[cosmic stratus]

If you play a 1440p or 1080p aiming for 120+ fps any mid to high end gpu should do

[twin grove]

yeah but I already got psu I was planning on using my current gpu for it when I upgrade and I want the thermaltake ax700 as the case

hmm I wonder if freegeek still has some cool stuff

[cosmic stratus]

Ahh ur already started

[twin grove]

didn't ltt do a video there like forever ago

[tulip sparrow]

hmm https://www.androidauthority.com/samsung-exynos-2600-heat-technology-snapdragon-3624279/

[twin grove]

just saved parts from upgrading my gaming system

[tulip sparrow]

That is usually how things work if the old one was new enough otherwise better to just replace everything like I did when I wnet from my i5 3570k so a Ryzen 7 3700x system

[stray portal]

oo nice i personally use opensuse tumbleweed

[tulip sparrow]

I have Endeavour OS running on my all amd laptop

[twin grove]

ah I am trying to remember the video now it was forever ago where they built a pc in a recycling center near me all I remember is they used the lanboy air case

[left dove]

junkyard wars?

[twin grove]

it was only 1 pc if I am remebering right it was at a recycling center in like fayettville arkansas of all places

it was forever ago tho

I might be crazy tho

[ocean axle]

scrapyard wars*

[left dove]

Oh right junkyard wars is a completely diff show

[ocean axle]

though, if it was a recycling center, that was probably a freegeek video

[left dove]

..does anyone even remember junkyard wars?

[twin grove]

that was vancouver freegeek

[twin grove]

lol yeah

[left dove]

IT WAS SO GOOD

the paintball tank was lmao

Dramatic footage captured by a home's Ring doorbell camera shows a massive explosion rocking a large building across the street in Hayward, California. "We were sitting in the house and it just... everything shook. Stuff fell off the walls and when we looked at the camera it was like you were watching a war video," Brittany Maldonado, who provided the doorbell cam footage, told ABC7 News. Fire officials say six people have been taken to the hospital.

oh hi

my ac laptop cord broke 🥲

well atleast it's easy to find

[left dove]

[sage ocean]

Would it be illegal if I send a friend in a poorer country money so they can buy cheaper PC parts and mail them to me?

[topaz shale]

you will probably lose your profit after import fees

you usually have to declare whats in the package as well as its value for tarrif reasons

[sage ocean]

Well the value would be its price in their country

Which would be lower

[lapis furnace]

So I ditched that Sequoia mf'er and switched to Fedora KDE instead ||(not to forget the Kubuntu and Kali residing on 2 other partitions)||

All of this alongside Win11 25h2... Unity in diversity ahh system

[lapis furnace]

No

[sage ocean]

Also usually arent personal mail subject to way lower fees?

[topaz shale]

no

[ivory mountain]

OOO fuck fortnite

[topaz shale]

i mean you can try, i would do the math though and find out if its cheaper after shipping

[ocean axle]

at least you realize you made this server worse

[lapis furnace]

🍞

[sage ocean]

I just want ram bro

Ts insane

1300 dollars for a kit that was like 300 or 400 a month or 2 ago

[ivory mountain]

why not get a 9800x3d instead

[sage ocean]

Some things I play benefit from higher core counts

[lapis furnace]

64gb kit?

[ivory mountain]

makes sense

[sage ocean]

Hah I wish

my 64gb kit is $759.99 rn

[sage ocean]

Im on 64gb of ddr4 and max it out spilling into pagefile

[lapis furnace]

Bro lowkey using nasa pc atp

[sage ocean]

I could probably sell this kit for more than my entire PC lol

[frigid blade]

i saw a 2x48gb kit go for only $550

6800MT/s

eBay auction

[sage ocean]

G.Skill Ripjaws V Series 2x32GB DDR4-3200 is my current kit in my PC

[ivory mountain]

fellow x870e user yessir

[sage ocean]

I was gonna get the 2x64 X5 flare but now that its 1300 thats gonna have to wait

[frigid blade]

$535

8 reviews, really got the regular people just selling their RAM for extra money

[sage ocean]

Also was planning on adding 8x32 to my server but ddr4 is also insanely expensive too epically ecc

I could use affirm or klarna tbh tbey both gave me a 5k buying power

But I kind of stiff both of them because I pay on time and in 4 so no interest and no late fees

I use my credit cards as much as I can for the cashback but always pay in full so they never charge me interest loool

[plain cypress]

Should have bought 3 months ago

[sage ocean]

Had an emergency

[plain cypress]

I use CC for everything but never carry a balance

[sage ocean]

I let a balance post but dont carry it month to month

Haven't payed any interest at all

My best card has the lowest credit limit and my worst card has the highest ts pmo

[dapper lion]

Hey, I'm wondering, I just upgraded my Gpu from a 3050 to a 5060, and now no one wants to buy my 3050, what if I connected my 3050 to the second PCIE slot would it make a difference (PSU 650W)

I use the Pc for Gaming streaming and editing

Specs:
R7 5700G (bought it when there was a GPU shortage)
RTX 5060 PNY Triple fan OC 8GB
XPG 3600MHZ DDR4 32gb 16*2
B450 Tomahawk max ii

[left dove]

There is no reason to have 2 gpus

if anything it'll take lanes away from the good card

save it for a transcoding card in a server or something

[dapper lion]

One for Encoding (recording and streaming) and one for gaming so I don't lose that much preformance while gaming

[left dove]

Buddy this isn't 2012 anymore

nvenc/amf/quicksync is powerful and dedicated hardware literally meant for encoding video as fast as fucking possible

[dapper lion]

I know that but when I game without streaming or recording i go from 250 fps in siege to 140 150 fps

[left dove]

so stop using cpu encoding

[dapper lion]

It is using AV1

[left dove]

I guarantee you your config is not correct.

does the 3050 even get av1?..

[dapper lion]

no Im Talking about the 5060 here

that is what in my system rn

[left dove]

so don't use av1

[dapper lion]

why it's better

[left dove]

on a twitch stream you're not noticing a difference.

[dapper lion]

5060 supports avi1

yeah but recording tho

[left dove]

just use h265, this isn't the cs:go of livestream encoding

av1 is just a new bucket method

[dapper lion]

have you seen the difference with AV1?

[left dove]

and your 3050 doesn't do av1 encoding so it'd be bunk for that

[dapper lion]

Pretty good

I know but if it saves performance i would just use nvenc

[left dove]

you can use nvenc on your fucking 5060!!

JUST DO THAT

that is literally dedicated encoding hardware what is your obsession with av1

more than likely you're av1 cpu encoding

[dapper lion]

Ok you got confused about my point there, im saying that when i use the 5060 for encoding i lose a bit of performance, if I add the sec GPU would it make a Diff?

[left dove]

No.

it will make worse performance.

Turn on nvenc.

[limpid ivy]

nope I've done this before as an experiment

[dapper lion]

You mean bec of the lanes?

[left dove]

Yes.

[dapper lion]

Ok thank you ❤️

Now I want to overclock my cpu I will move on to the OC channel

[limpid ivy]

Peyton have you tried out the hybrid mp4 in Obs 👀

[left dove]

Nuh uh

[limpid ivy]

Yea it's not bad, file size not so much. But that's just my settings lol

[dapper lion]

Speaking of OBS what bitrate would you recommend for recording 1080p 60FPS on AV1? I usually play FPS competitive games

[limpid ivy]

don't use it so can't say, though I got this

[dapper lion]

No worries I would do some research on it however, if i encode at al lower bitrate and edit the video out and render it with nvenc should I use the same bitrate or no ( I can't render on AV1 bec AV1 is not supported on iPhones yet)

Is it okay to use a 2007 1080p lcd tv as a main monitor cause it’s 60hz and 5ms response time and use my 144hz 1080p 1mc response time monitor as a 2nd monitor (the tv is 32” and the monitor is 27”)

[ivory mountain]

i have OCD as well got diagnosed with it forever ago it sucks

[ivory mountain]

use the 27

[frail sequoia]

I have a 6600xt with drivers that crash every few days and it recently developed coil whine

[frail sequoia]

I kinda need a 2nd monitor tho

[ivory mountain]

Use 25.6.1 trust me

[tired bear]

[frail sequoia]

I’m on the 28/11/2025 date drivers

[ivory mountain]

Monitors are dirt cheap nowadays

[ivory mountain]

Yeah rollback to 25.6.1 im on rdna2 as well and had issues with newer ones

[frail sequoia]

I’m gonna be stuck on 16gb ddr4 forever now, it’s like £150-£200 for my exact kit of ram

[frosty oriole]

[frail sequoia]

I’m kinda learning game design tho and I need to have the newer drivers, I also have a shite cpu

I have a ryzen 5 4500

[frosty oriole]

Bruh.

[shy arch]

Fr, storage costs are nothing compared to ram

especially if you're buying gen 3

[tired bear]

at the end of the day there is always a huge hdd and a smaller ssd combo to ride it out

for ram, not so much

[ivory mountain]

Why do you need a streaming pc in 2025?

[frail sequoia]

Do you have a laptop?

It’s for a buddy who streams from a laptop, he wants to get a pc to stream

[clear canyon]

You just used to the struggle ☹️

[frail sequoia]

Like a spare one lying around

[clear canyon]

So its not a dedicated streaming pc

[warm bluff]

Nah

[frail sequoia]

Yeah, I’m a former console player, I’ve had a pc for 4ish years now

[clear canyon]

And ppl used ddr4 for many years to stream

[frail sequoia]

Got it Christmas 2021 and upgraded the gpu start of this year

[tulip sparrow]

My main desktop is ddr4 and a ryzen 7 5800x3d and can both stream and game even at the same time with its 3070 ti

[clear canyon]

Anyone can stream if they have a gpu that isnt dog shit

[frail sequoia]

I can stream and game with a r5 4500 and 6600xt

[exotic cape]

honestly modern hardware is WAY to overkill for 99% of users

[clear canyon]

I mean as in its lacking an encoder

[frail sequoia]

If I bought a 2nd pc it would be a windows xp computer for retro games

[clear canyon]

Like a gt 1030

[exotic cape]

no you dont need that 5090, no you dont have to have a 9800x3d

[clear canyon]

A 3060 is perfect for modern day game streaming

[frail sequoia]

My phone is probs better than that but respect for running a gpu like that

[exotic cape]

and used they are like 200

[clear canyon]

Yeah

[frail sequoia]

£150 I think, maybe £200 for a 3060ti

[ivory mountain]

YES

[exotic cape]

no....

[tulip sparrow]

For Nvidia you want at least turing or newer aka 20/16 series so no I wouldn't call that 1030 a good streaming card its fine if you want video playback tho

[frail sequoia]

No no no no no no no
I deal with that enough with my 6 year old and 12 year old brother
Ffs Fortnite

[clear canyon]

No respect, its a bad gpu, its too old, has 2gig of vram and has no encoder, it used to be good during early covid bc it was stupid cheap and was decent for the time

[frail sequoia]

Ik but respect for using a shit gpu and not complaining

[exotic cape]

250$ for a 3060ti

[clear canyon]

Consider exploding

[ivory mountain]

i see them for under 200 more than i see them over $200 now

[clear canyon]

No

I live in a town but most shops sell alcohol and I need to be 18 and I don’t have any qualifications apart from maths and English

[bronze summit]

What

[dense escarp]

maybe theyre upgrading from a gtx card

Bc it came out before vram became an issue, and the 3060ti is a solid gpu, its on par with a 2080ti lol

[exotic cape]

250$

[frail sequoia]

I had a 1660 then a 4060 ti 8gb then my current 6600xt

[tulip sparrow]

The 3060 wasn't an upgrade over my old 2060 Super and both the 4060 and 5060 aren't any better then the 3060 so yeah

I’ve decided on cloning my old NVME ssd, with Windows 11, to a new one. After cloning can I plug the new ssd to the primary m.2 slot?

[tulip sparrow]

\Yeah

[frozen fern]

I need serious help and idk if im overreacting or if something actually broke.

cable plugged to gpu (rx9070xt) not displaying anything on DP or HDMI, tried mobo port, works. I had it as a check bag on a flight (im moving) but I had it in a pelican case with tons of foam and cushion. is the gpu done? lights turn on, fans spin, but minutor not detecting output. what do i do?

[daring crystal]

🎮DIABLO 4 : LORD OF HATREd

[half sparrow]

Great. I assume I can plug my old nvme to m.2 slot two and use it as another drive after I plug the newly cloned OS nvme to m.2 slot 1

[tulip sparrow]

Yup

[half sparrow]

You think I will need to go into bios set the new drive as the boot drive for it to recognize it?

[tulip sparrow]

I would do trhat regardless aka make sure the new drive is the boot drive

[half sparrow]

First I want to test the cloned drive on the m.2 slot two by changing it to the boot drive before I go ahead and plug it into m.2 slot 1 right? @tulip sparrow

[dusk patio]

try reseating the card in the PCIe slot

[frozen fern]

I have :(

[tulip sparrow]

If you want to

[half sparrow]

Roger that. Seems like this process is much more simple than I had anticipated

[dusk patio]

if there's no physical damage on the card, I don't see how it would've gotten damaged in transport

[frozen fern]

well thats what I thought too

but I tried updating drivers and everything too but nothing

[tulip sparrow]

YEah it really isn't that hard to switch drives these days

[half sparrow]

I remember back in the early 2000s it was more complicated lol

[tulip sparrow]

Oh trust me I know

[dusk patio]

is the power plugged in properly? did you try a different display cable?

[half sparrow]

Saw a 2tb sn850x for $180 at a local store so I figured I needed to get it

[half sparrow]

One more thing. Any recommendations for a free cloning software?

[tulip sparrow]

Clonezilla is what I use

and yeah I feel your pain on drive space

[frozen fern]

yes x2

[half sparrow]

🤣

[half sparrow]

Appreciate your help. Thank you

[frozen fern]

hey @tulip sparrow, think you can help me out?

[dusk patio]

another thing I thought of is your BIOS might be set to use the integrated graphics by default instead of the dedicated card

[tepid kelp]

Hmm my speed fan is reporting in the negatives wander how that happened

[half sparrow]

@tulip sparrow Worst case scenario if the new nvme I cloned my OS onto is defective can I just set my old nvme as the boot drive?

Just gotta make sure I don’t format the old drive until I know the new one is working properly

[tulip sparrow]

Yeah

cackles not surprised honestly LOL

[azure topaz]

i dont think theres d4/d5 boards, regardless its not at the same time

[ivory mountain]

theirs this board that has 6 dimm slots, 2 ddr4 and 4 ddr5, its weird

[azure topaz]

which

ah i found

[ivory mountain]

asrock h610m combo

[azure topaz]

its that one asrock board

[ivory mountain]

yeah its weird as shit

[azure topaz]

yeah its garabge, none you would buy support both

theres this thing too 1 stick of each

[ivory mountain]

ew

[azure topaz]

yeah even their es board got too hot

[sinful cobalt]

heres the thing

https://tenor.com/view/the-thing-gif-7221802782330564472

[dense escarp]

there is, but you have to pick either or like you mentioned

[azure topaz]

its a grand total of 2 boards

neither of which youd buy

imo its safe to say it doesnt exist unlike Z690 D4 boards or whatever

[dense escarp]

yup

[ivory mountain]

i have a z690-a ddr4 board it doesnt even support dual channel cause its fucked up

[azure topaz]

well whyd you do that

amd literally doesnt have a memory controller to takle advantage of htis

[ivory mountain]

i got it for $25

its going in my dads pc cause no point in buying an actual good board for a pc for google spreadsheets and emails

[olive coyote]

Hello I wanted to ask if msi boards are reliable or it dependant on model and of th4 above model is reliable

[cyan bay]

hi

so uh my monitor is broken but I don't know what the damage is

my pc boots up but u can see the line up top which is I think the oy visible pixel

what could possibly be the problem

[ivory mountain]

theyre alright id spend a few extra dollars and get something that actually has a heatsync on it tho

[dusk patio]

Have you tried a different cable

[swift stream]

game awards was buns like always

[ivory mountain]

this year was shit for gaming but some games next year look cool

[swift stream]

EA releasing anything but titanfall 3

[ivory mountain]

bethesda releasing anything except elder scrolls 6

[swift stream]

I mean who didn't see ep33 winning

[ivory mountain]

it was so peak

[swift stream]

not really imo, but no game was really good this year

[olive coyote]

Oh alright thank you

[olive coyote]

Tho I'd be pairing it with a r5 5600 , would the heat sink missing still be a problem

[dense escarp]

you guys seen those custom builds where you tear down an old monitor and use it to get a display on your side panel?

[real quiver]

What games on steam natively support linux

I keep hitting the button to filter them and it doesn't work

I just need to test if this gpu is working right without proton being a potential issue

Oh wait factorio

[hollow grail]

Is this right amount of tf7 thermal paste?

[steel umbra]

May be bit too much

[hollow grail]

Imma brush 20% away with finger. Ok?

[steel umbra]

Doesn't matter now

[steel umbra]

meh

It's viscous so it shouldn't do a lot of mess on the bracket

[hollow grail]

Remaining 80%

[steel umbra]

Doesn't look centered

[hollow grail]

I’ll center it but is amount good?

Seems a bit dry but I think it’s fine

[plain cypress]

Not a whole tube 😭

[hollow grail]

I heard you do not want to confirm how much you did it and that you need German efficiency
Do it once right

[steel umbra]

The amount you out on before was ok too much doesn't hurt it's already wasted

[ivory mountain]

Its so pretty

[hollow grail]

If you are though concerned with the drying of about three minutes and counting if leaving the thermal paste out there, I can replace it

[hollow grail]

Should I?
@steel umbra

[steel umbra]

I don't understand

[hollow grail]

Get rid of it and put on similar amount of not so dry paste

But I doubt it’s that dry
Just surface is

[steel umbra]

Wym dry

[hollow grail]

Left it out for five minutes without putting on heatsink

[steel umbra]

tf7 is viscous

[hollow grail]

Sorry for so many questions just wanna get it right lol

So should I replace it lol

[steel umbra]

The biggest concern is the grease from your fingers when you scooped up bit of the paste

[hollow grail]

Huh interesting

[steel umbra]

and that it's not centered and depending on how you put the cooler

it may get better or worse

[steel umbra]

We're talking here about 0.1-1c degree diff

[zealous plover]

Is it a good idea to overclock my Moniter from 75hz to 80hz

[unique tapir]

Cold

[steel umbra]

Is it worth your time?

[zealous plover]

Yes it’s only 75 hz

I need performance

Hopefully my Moniter doesn’t shat itself

I’ve got 1hz more so far

We are at 77hz we are in the danger zone

78 works YAY

[grizzled frost]

you can really see the difference between 75hz and 78hz aye?

#1027757333117415424

[zealous plover]

Yes

Very much

Anyways it’s capped at 78hz 79hz doesn’t work

[grizzled frost]

that .5ms difference is really noticeable

[zealous plover]

My wallpaper doesn’t work anymore😭

I’m gonna try some gaming and see if it flickers

The display is definitely very hot👍

Very hot🔥🔥👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[rigid fjord]

low end but totally fine, you'd want to do a bios update before using a 5600 on it

[lapis talon]

I might have to go to court soon 💀

Im going to file a case against a shop for not accepting my warranty claim for something they caused, and their reasons are that the importer for the product needs proof that it isn't the customers fault

And that isn't stated anywhere in their policies or the invoice so I have every right to file a case

[winter lantern]

No

It just breaks it

[zealous plover]

It only went up to 78

It isn’t having any problems

[random gyro]

[sage ocean]

Is the galaxy book connected to my other galaxy devices like ecosystem wise or is it just another brand of windows laptop?

[fringe prairie]

it is

but apparently it’s not hard to replicate it on other laptops

gb is hardly worth it in my opinion

[sage ocean]

Oh?

I would like something connected to my samsung phone and galaxy buds pro in a way like that

like I can get notifs from my phone on my PC and do things from it like send messages

shared clipboard for 2fa like how my phone automatically copies 2fa codes to clipboard when im using it and like auto switching my galaxy buds from pc to phone

[fringe prairie]

this shouldn’t be hard if your earbuds have multipoint bt

[fringe prairie]

also isn’t that hard, possible with the your phone app

[fringe prairie]

not sure about this one though, would look into it

[sage ocean]

what app?

[fringe prairie]

“your phone”

something like that

oh it’s called phone link

[sage ocean]

is it seemless or is it like clunky

[fringe prairie]

i mean notifications worked with my iphone when i used to use a windows laptop

same with calls and sms/rcs texts

[sage ocean]

i think what im looking for is a macbook like integration but without using a macbook because I need windows/linux

[fringe prairie]

all via phone link

[sage ocean]

what would you think of this laptop then? since it can do the same as a gb

[fringe prairie]

it’s fine

likely has a mid screen

[sage ocean]

"FHD+"

32gb ram is good, I assume the 512gb ssd can be upgraded (not soldered)

I dont know much about mobile CPUs only desktop so I assume thats a good ryzen

[rigid fjord]

would try to get the same thing but cheaper

[sage ocean]

I can poke around and see, whats a fair price? I can get it for 750 with the cupon code

[rigid fjord]

i'd try to see for 650-700 for that

[sage ocean]

Hmm

I also wonder if theres a 16" version with similar specs

I could also try going new instead of used if its really worth the upgrade (over used)

[rigid fjord]

p16 i believe is the equivalent model line of 16" thinkpads to that

[sage ocean]

same cpu, but more ram, more storage, bigger and better screen

is this too good to be true?

[rigid fjord]

that's even better for the price

[sage ocean]

its a bid tho that ends in a week i wonder what the buy it now price is

or a price I could offer thats fair to lock it in maybe like 700

[ornate harbor]

You don't have many things in your taskbar

[peak swan]

Guys, what port is this on a printer?
And how can i make it usb?

It's definitely not the pink printer port i know of

[hollow grail]

Do I keep the gpu IO bracket like the first image or like the second or are both wrong. I’m struggling to align the PCIe pins of the gpu with that of the motherboard cause case is getting in the way. Neither way seems to fix it, but I’m wondering which is closer to the right one.

[empty quartz]

Gaming

[empty quartz]

1st image

[warm saddle]

do you also have bad frame timing in Cyberpunk? Since 2.31 patch for the game, there is bad frametime on AMD drivers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QgR1UnpREV0&t=814s watch from 12:45

[hollow grail]

Ok

Also, either way, if I align the gpu so that it’s pcie pins are over the motherboard pcie slots, the outside looks like this (image 1, so ports are hidden behind the case’s metal), which is troubling
Also, as you can see in second image, there doesn’t seem to be enough room (by about 2mm) for the gpu’s pins to fit in, even though the motherboard’s screw holes is perfectly situated over the case’s screw holes.

Btw, I simply popped in the IO shield and put the motherboard up against it. Now, the motherboard won’t move with any force below the max I’m comfortable using, which is a lot.

Anyone? 😭

[ornate harbor]

Chat is ded

[grim moon]

for the love of god screw in your motherboard properly before installing GPU

Your mobo seems to be offset from the standoffs

[hollow grail]

Don’t have the screws lol
Will get the screws later and use pc sideways

[grim moon]

Yeah dont

[hollow grail]

Why

[grim moon]

Good way to risk shorting something on the mobo onto the case itself

That's why its important to screw in the board. Case should have come with screws

Usually a box in the hard drive cage with accessories

[hollow grail]

!
Thought it came with everything but screws
Must fine hard drive cage!

[grim moon]

NZXT case? looks like it. Open back panel of the case and should find it there

[hollow grail]

Found them!

[hollow grail]

MONTECH X5M

Wow even has cable ties!

[grim moon]

ah the bottom looks almost identical to NZXTs lol

Yeah just make sure to screw in the mobo, should align it properly and protect against shorting then GPU should fit just fine

[hollow grail]

Oh ma gaaaa
I hardly moved motherboard and it works
Did I mention I got the motherboard unstuck lol

Time to do screws lol

Ty so much

[grim moon]

It was stuck???

[nimble frigate]

Yo my PSU compartment lowk has half the dust in the continent should I clean it or does it not matter?

[grim moon]

I recommend you watch a build guide if you aren't already

[hollow grail]

Last paragraph of the novel #tech-chat-1 message

[peak swan]

It definitely is correct inside

[hollow grail]

I did but they went over which millimeter to put the DP shield metal prong whatever

[grim moon]

Good idea to always clean out pc like every 3-6 months depending on dust

[peak swan]

Anyways, funny phone crack

[nimble frigate]

The actual like case, like, fans, GPU mobo are dust free, it’s just the phantex XT pro collects dust on the PSU compartment like it has a vacuum

[grim moon]

yeah I'd clean it out still. Dust is no good for pcs

[hollow grail]

Ok the GPU multiple problems fixed
It actually goes into PCIE slot, and the DP ports are accessible, but now motherboard a little less aligned. Idk whether I can move the board without breaking the gpu due to case clearance lol

[grim moon]

Screw in all the screws to mobo before installing GPU

Being careless with it hurts

[hollow grail]

Fine
I just wanted to do it other way around cause I thought that with the motherboard lined up by screwing in, the gpu wouldn’t fit anymore

So should I remove gpu before screwing in or just screw in on top and hope

[grim moon]

It will line up. Remove gpu, screw in all motherboard screws, reseat gpu. Trust the process

[peak swan]

I have less problems building in a case from 1996 that wasn't even atx from the factory so i can only put in like 1 screw and my mobo gets shorted sometimes
Like at least my pcie slots align and stuff

[grim moon]

mobo shorting seems like quite a big problem...

[fast steeple]

How would this be considering the current GPU prices and value?

[grim moon]

A corner of paper

[fast steeple]

why isnt the whole image rendering

dude my whole artwork is now a corner of a paper

[grim moon]

just take another pic

please work
