tech-chat-1

[azure topaz]

yes but the real question is:
is your hardware reasonable enough to waterblock?

[brave brook]

looks like skinny version of marvin

[rigid fjord]

got a few more wires to extend which i'll do tomorrow, it also means i have to relevel it all, but now i should never have an axis issue with it, i just got to find myself a bigger buildplate

[steel umbra]

better question is need or want?

[spring latch]

imagine waterblocking like an i7 7700K that would be insanely useless but it would work well

[azure topaz]

you forget some people did that lol

[spring latch]

oh cool

[slow sable]

I whiteness many fent folds as I live in the worst place humanity has conceived

[azure topaz]

and back when the 7700K was new and the big dog, why would it be useless lol

[azure topaz]

detroit?

[steel umbra]

i have seen people watercooling 6th gen i5s

[rigid fjord]

could still game with a 7700k

[spring latch]

damn water cooling goes back farther than I think

[azure topaz]

it goes back to before generations lol

[slow sable]

Boston

[azure topaz]

i got close

[hexed tapir]

spectek ram with Corsair prices me hate that value no good

[spring latch]

watercooling a laptop cpu

[left dove]

watercooling goes back to the pentium pro days

[azure topaz]

it goes as far back as a copper block with a couple of holes and an aquarium pump

[ivory mountain]

my 6900xt draws 380-425 watts on air alone, and gets really hot. i dont really wanna upgrade gpus cause i dont really need to

also i just really like the look of it too, and i can use it on future components as well

like 4-5 aios have died on me as well so idk lmao

[spring latch]

watercooling a watercooler

[rigid fjord]

been done already

[spring latch]

i meant like low power intel CPUs like the i5 7200U or i3 8130U

[azure topaz]

you like the look of your gpu, so youre going to entirelyt change the look of the gpu with a waterblock?

[hexed tapir]

But if you upgrade you can get a GPU with good upscaling technology

[azure topaz]

i see the other points but i dont get the point of aesthetics if you already like your current gpu

[steel umbra]

what about using high quality thermal paste, better pads, undervolt a bit (offset)

[rigid fjord]

dude, someone out there has probably watercooled an n100

[ivory mountain]

i meant i like the look of a waterloop in general lol

[azure topaz]

also, you absolutely cannot use a 6900XT waterblock on future cards

[rigid fjord]

as a "just because i can"

[steel umbra]

you always use nailgun 😈

[ivory mountain]

i misworded some stuff, i know i cant use a 6900xt waterblock on different cards

[azure topaz]

the rads and tubes yeah but imo this doesnt become worth it until youre ocing your rigs daily enough to justify this for every future gen you upgrade to

would i go for a custom loop setup especially for my ram? yeah but thats cause im pushing literally everything in my entire system to the bleeding edge constantly. if youre not doing that id say the need for extreme cooling gets significantly reduced

380-420.69w is a lot but if the card isnt thermal throttling significantly/is faster than stock still i dont see an issue with just leaving it be

[rigid fjord]

i want to do a full custom loop for my setup, but it's definitely more of a "because i can" thing than anything else

[ivory mountain]

it gets up to 110c sometimes lol, even in game, i limit the framerate to help prevent that tho

[azure topaz]

if money is a concern in the first place i wouldnt make a custom loop is basically what im saying

[rigid fjord]

also, i can duct out all my heat directly into a vent in the wall

[azure topaz]

im an overclocker, this means nothing to me

110c means nothing if the card is still at fuckin 3.whatever gigahertz

[ivory mountain]

i have the money but i still cant justify $200 oin an EB waterblock for example

[steel umbra]

i thought you could manage 3.5 thz

[azure topaz]

then i personally dont see how a 60$ cheaper block is going to change that

[azure topaz]

i dont like amd gpus

[steel umbra]

3500ghz or rookie number

[hexed tapir]

Do you have the rest of the loop parts?

[azure topaz]

also that

[ivory mountain]

i meant cpu block, the cpu block from bykski was like $50-$70 dollars which is why i was asking if they were solid for budget

[rigid fjord]

what don't you like about them?

[ivory mountain]

im ordering it all at once

[azure topaz]

the fact that literally every amd gpu ive had has had similar issues or long issues that have persisted for years ultimately pusheed me off of putting one in my daily again

opening gpu software is bare minimum

[rigid fjord]

wait, adrenalin, no work for you?

[azure topaz]

adrenalin hasnt worked for me since my HD 7970

not saying that like i had one on release but

[ivory mountain]

it doesnt open within the first like minute of my pc booting lmfao

[azure topaz]

theres times where you have to fiddle with task manager or restart for it to open sometimes too i bet

[steel umbra]

i have nvydja ertx thirty90 fart edition

[rigid fjord]

that's weird in itself dude

[azure topaz]

random driver crashes, their history of overvolting cards, so on

basically all comes down to drivers, no amd card in my daily has been a good experience driver wise

[slow sable]

Fym close

[steel umbra]

i mean the stock pads are pretty *******

plastic in pads

peak engineering /s

[hexed tapir]

If It cost $480-520 you could just upgrade to a 300watt 5070 with way better ray tracing and superior upscaling (6900xt is just below the 3090 in performance)

[azure topaz]

amd cards before rdna3 i think just straight up guess power draw on everything but the core

hey rx 580 how much power you drawing
"idk man"

"uhhh 70 on the core so im gonna just say 70"

poor RT support, poor software suppport

[ivory mountain]

my 6900xt has a pretty good OC id say, 2600/2700 with it running ~2660 in game

beats 3090's in benchmarks, along with my friends 4070 (ti or super i forgot)

[azure topaz]

i really am pretty sure 6900xt's should be hitting 3ghz

[steel umbra]

5070 is lame so no regrets for 6900xt/3090 buyers (that managed to get them at msrp)

[ivory mountain]

not really a big fan of nvidia either after my 3060ti randomly died 3 days after the warranty period was over

[ivory mountain]

i bought a 6900xt for $400 in 2023

[hexed tapir]

You can still oc the 5070

[azure topaz]

xtxh?

[steel umbra]

hax

[ivory mountain]

nah, just red devil (not red devil ultimate)

[steel umbra]

though it is the time when things started to calm down

[azure topaz]

okay so thats probably why its not 3ghz

[hexed tapir]

I would take a 5070 over a good overclocking 6900xt

[azure topaz]

if you wouldnt id seriously question your sanity

[steel umbra]

i bought my 6900xt for €420 forgor which yeah, def not 2025

[azure topaz]

even if you originally had the 6900xt i think youd be dumb not to take a 5070 lol

[ivory mountain]

yup

[steel umbra]

q4 2023 or q1 2024 ib

[ivory mountain]

i got mine in the summer

[hexed tapir]

6900xt has super power quality upscaling 5070 is giga chad

[azure topaz]

6900xt draws superp ower

5070 just exists

[steel umbra]

same got it in august 2023

6900 420 haha

(me swear it wasnt on purpose)

[hexed tapir]

Im 80% sure it's cheaper to sell the 6900xt and buy a 5070 vs paying for a custom GPU loop

[azure topaz]

i mean yes but

his other logic of being able to keep it for al ong time is sound

and i agree with that

he obviously is an overclocker so i mean i dont think it would be useless to him

https://tenor.com/view/rizz-hoop-peter-griffin-green-fn-gif-16271132247808270949

[ivory mountain]

i just overclock, youre an overclocker, theirs a difference

let me cook wtf

[azure topaz]

you do not put an overclocked 6900XT on water and proceed to not push it further than you did on air

[ivory mountain]

oh im 100% going to

[azure topaz]

if you were to block, likely the same day or week youd be pushing your oc further

...are you seeing my point

[ivory mountain]

im on air already hitting 2700mhz and only crashing bc of thermals

im 100% pushing it further

[hexed tapir]

People are still buying 6900xt for $400 used

[azure topaz]

yeah this is racist to me

[ivory mountain]

they selling my gpu for 380

[azure topaz]

tbh people still tried to sell 3080s for 400$ locally but 9060xt at 350 is just too powerful

[hexed tapir]

Sain people are buying 3080 tis for $400

[steel umbra]

where do i disable this doubletap feature to use emoji

it’s annoying

[azure topaz]

hmmmm, fortnite

Second best invention in human history is the antibiotic.

[azure topaz]

perhaps the tRRD_L/S & faw timings

[distant frigate]

Antibiotics have saved me from infections before

[azure topaz]

trefi honorable mention

[steel umbra]

fire was the biggest leap imo

cook food, heat

light

[azure topaz]

what one most closely led to the creation of ram timings

[distant frigate]

Third best could be the toilet LOL

[ivory mountain]

Genuinely had someone tell me on a vc that higher CL is better

[hexed tapir]

Isn't that like 3070ti/3080 level raster?

[azure topaz]

yes and at 350$ its really hard to fault esp brand new

considering its kinda hard to find <350$ used 3080s still (less so than before but)

[hexed tapir]

True 3+ year warranty

[azure topaz]

at 300$ or less i see a 3080 being more worthwhile but anything more just get a 9060xt new

[azure topaz]

its true

insert misinfo here

[ivory mountain]

❤️‍🩹

[steel umbra]

3080 is looking a bit sad in 2025

[south arrow]

True true

[steel umbra]

just like pascal did in 2022-23

[azure topaz]

i mean considering i got homies on 1660s still

yes but no

the average pc is ultimately still slower GPU wise than the 3080

so if you can snipe a 3080 or a 9060xt for around 300$ and you have a 3060 or lower cclass video card i dont think it was a bad decision

[south arrow]

I really shouldn't but they are pretty affordable rn

[steel umbra]

250 for 3080 my max

[azure topaz]

i would love another 3080 to mess around with but i can just bother my gf's

[hexed tapir]

Can't wait for gabecube

[azure topaz]

it is at least a guaranteed good bin

(its my 3080)

[ivory mountain]

I forgot i have 4 m.2 slots i want another ssd ngl

[azure topaz]

vyruss do you have time spy results on your xt

[ivory mountain]

Ya i have it on my 5700xt too

[azure topaz]

give

[south arrow]

[azure topaz]

curious how it stacks to peak 3080 config

[ivory mountain]

i wish 3dmark would filter by best

[azure topaz]

it does

[ivory mountain]

on the website?

[azure topaz]

search the card you want itll give you your best result with it

it should, anyways

[ivory mountain]

https://www.3dmark.com/spy/56856033

heres this, i got a 24.9k but cant find it

[hexed tapir]

I finally retired mine for a 9070xt

[ivory mountain]

W

[azure topaz]

thats the 24.9k youre missing

[steel umbra]

i can atleast say 3090 has more vram than 5080 >:]

[hexed tapir]

Just for fsr4 alone it was worth it

[ivory mountain]

Oh yeah

[azure topaz]

pretty good, you said power draw is only like 400w?

[ivory mountain]

Up to 425 according to hwinfo gpu ppt

[azure topaz]

honestly probably drawing more

but that is good

[ivory mountain]

The highest furmark spike ive seen was 545

[brave brook]

funny people trying to sell this as NH-D15 😄

[azure topaz]

my 3080 had its pl 166%'ed

no volts or other cooling

that card had the funny behavior of being able to max the vram offset and some

[brave brook]

on other side a D14 for 35 euros ain't bad, even with this minor damage. no fans tho

[ivory mountain]

My vram slider is maxed out with fast timings somehow, not sure if fast timings apply over 2120mhz tho

[azure topaz]

no fans or mounting brackets gross

for 35$ id argue that is bad realistically

[steel umbra]

from that damage value drops by 30%

[brave brook]

mounting bracket yes, only fans are missing

[azure topaz]

youre paying 35$ for noctua product but get none of the noctua quality lol

[azure topaz]

the clips to clip the fan to the heatsink

[south arrow]

Noctua coolers are mostly fans god i hate auto correct sometimes

[steel umbra]

it’s just fins and heatpipes

[steel umbra]

chocolate and fake choko colours

[azure topaz]

35$ for a hunk of metal you have to ziptie fans to

[ivory mountain]

Its gonna be 16f with a feels like of 0f tonight, maybe i can hit 25k with just a touch more cold air (my rooms hot)

[azure topaz]

just put the pc outside lmao

or sit it in front of an ac

2nd one technically counts as sub ambient for hwbot

[south arrow]

At that point fams a whole peerless assasin ya know, I cant with good conscious let ya get it

[brave brook]

"selling a computer" listing

[south arrow]

It looks neat but too dark lol I cant make out a single spec xD

[brave brook]

the other photo is worse

[ivory mountain]

😭

[brave brook]

at least he wrote the specs in the description, but we have zero idea about the build

[south arrow]

At least $250

[formal sonnet]

Specs? You'll don't need the specs. It's a gaming computer. I know what I have. No lowballs.

Hey the aio tubes are in the right orientation!

[steel umbra]

first part: 2020 p750gm

[azure topaz]

id btuy this tbh

youd have to sway me not to

[brave brook]

with X370 board for 480 and 32GB DDR4-2400 ?

[azure topaz]

for 480 no but if the seller wasnt smoking crack id give them idk 300 for it

[hexed tapir]

They are fucking daisy chaining the power cable between two cards my god

[azure topaz]

its okay

[zinc matrix]

i wanna smoke crack

[azure topaz]

those wires can handle like 350w realistically

idk how much power a 1070 is but its not half of that

[hexed tapir]

Did 1070 have bad Transiant spikes? I don't recall them having that problem

[brave brook]

150W TDP

https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/msi-gtx-1070-sea-hawk-x.b3645

[steel umbra]

@south arrow ngl i sold my explosive p750gm for 20 despite explicitly listing that it’s the explosive one that didn’t blow up yet a year ago

[azure topaz]

this wouldnt bother the wires like physics wise yknow

i say "like 350w" because thats how much it can do without the wires really getting hot

if it spikes to 400w total shortly thats not a problem as long as the psu doesnt care (it should)

[somber mauve]

Hey guys not sure if this is the place for help with a Minecraft question.

One of my players made an automated factory that makes cookies which has completely screwed the server to the point where we can get in. Is there a way to delete all of a certain item that would be in chests or do I need to remove the factory all together ?

[hexed tapir]

Suggest PSU is a baby 450w

[steel umbra]

should’ve i not sold it or?

i also told him when he came to pick it up

i mean his components weren’t expensive nor power hungry but still

[brave brook]

well, that recommendation is for fake 450W PSUs, so it can probably do 300W real, to which a 150W TDP card with system fits in nicely

[brave brook]

would you sell a Note 7 too ?

[formal sonnet]

You might have to use the console to delete all of the certain entity that is causing the issues, or shutdown the server and edit the world using one of many worldedit tools. Or do what I do: restore the server to the last known good backup, then tell the player not to do that again.

[formal sonnet]

If this stems from a certain mod, you should also contact the mod developer, as they might have a workaround, and at the very least should fix their mod.

[brave brook]

these ebay sales are getting insane 😄

[steel umbra]

only with cautions and warnings that it may blow up in someone’s pocket if they don’t intervene

[somber mauve]

Thanks mate let me see what I can do

[steel umbra]

like is it ok to sell stuff like that with warnings or should i just dispose

[warm sage]

can someone explain what the hell an i4 is

is it fake

[steel umbra]

troll

[balmy tapir]

Can ram be more unstable running below the advertised speed?!, One of my sticks has been causing Memtest86 to freeze and it does have errors, but after setting it to 3600mhz instead of 3200 it still has errors, but isn't casuing memtest to freeze

[steel umbra]

diff unstability both unacceptable

[warm sage]

lol

[balmy tapir]

currently half way through a run and 57 errors 😭

[steel umbra]

1 error and ur donzo

[balmy tapir]

my 2x8gb sticks are good however, and one of the 16gb sticks is good

[azure topaz]

lol

[azure topaz]

yes man, yes

[azure topaz]

is this implying you have mixed kits

[balmy tapir]

100%

[azure topaz]

in the form of 2x8 and 2x16?

[balmy tapir]

yep

[azure topaz]

okay well

that could be a reason why for sure

improper settings, etc

cpu may not like it, board may not like it

[balmy tapir]

im running the test on each stick on its own

[azure topaz]

yet you have all of them installed?

thats why im asking bro 😭

[balmy tapir]

day to day use yes

[azure topaz]

but one is bad

and the other kit of its set works fine

[balmy tapir]

yes

[azure topaz]

does that answer your question

[steel umbra]

you don’t want to use errorrrin ram 9000 for daily use

something goes wrong and ur something is gone

damage up to corrupted os

[balmy tapir]

its a 16gb 3200CL16 kit I got when I built my PC, then got this 32gb 3600CL16 a few months ago for $40

[azure topaz]

your ram is defective in some way/something is changing making it stable when going to 3600

[balmy tapir]

but womp womp to one of the sticks

[azure topaz]

volts timings or otherwise

gotta narrow down as many variables as u can

[balmy tapir]

just got everything on auto 😭

[daring crystal]

wrong discord

[hollow ore]

do i need to wipe both of my drives when reinstalling windows

[balmy tapir]

but certainly not ideal lol

[azure topaz]

just whatever you installed windows on previously

[azure topaz]

def not, you can use tests like tm5, karhu, or ycruncher btw

[formal sonnet]

An "i4" is a type of BMW. In the context of your screenshot, it's a processor that doesn't exist.

[hollow ore]

okay, will it mess with shit if i have games on my other drive? like will the launchers know where the games are still & such

[vital gyro]

How did Matt’s Computer Services even get sponsored by DeepCool? He’s US-based, so I don’t even know how that’s legal.

[azure topaz]

steam will, most others wont

[hollow ore]

how do i fix that lol

reinstall them? idc if i have to

[azure topaz]

yes

youll have to manually delete the games and reinstall

[steel umbra]

i’ve actually had someone not only tell me just the i scheming but also said like i6

[azure topaz]

steam for it to pick up old games you have to add ur other drive as a library btw

[balmy tapir]

ill take a look

[steel umbra]

welp, atleast he got help

[hollow ore]

okay

[formal sonnet]

"this here is an Intel Core i processor!"
...
Okay which one? 🤔
"What do you mean which one?"

[hollow ore]

when reinstalling i just wipe my drive when i boot from install media ?

[hexed tapir]

Why is your deck drive so smoll

[azure topaz]

yes sir

[vital gyro]

They don’t even use the i for new CPUs

[azure topaz]

this is my boot drive

its a rando gen 4 samsung oem/enterprise drive, its a decent bit faster than the m450 so its my OS drive

[hexed tapir]

Oh it's not the steam deck

[azure topaz]

i do not have a steamdeck no

[hollow ore]

ok bet how do i tell which drive is which

[azure topaz]

with your brain

that one i cant answer

[hollow ore]

Lol

[azure topaz]

just know

[hollow ore]

wait ill just look at usage

[balmy tapir]

are they both the same drive?!

[azure topaz]

either through their different sizes, uses, or you can name them like a smart person

i dont know your computer so i cant tell you what would be best

[hollow ore]

i thought it doesnt show the names in the install media

[balmy tapir]

it should have some sort of identify

[azure topaz]

i think it did for me but i could be wrong

[charred hare]

Out of the last few generations that grew up on computers and modern technologies. Two and a half of those generations grew up on being taught those in elective courses. One generation wasn't encouraged enough to do the same, because it was assumed they would all know how things actually worked.
We need to encourage the current and future generations to actually learn these things, and make it part of general education and not treat them as elective courses. You would think that after 2010, schools would make computer & software education mandatory and not optional. There's a difference between knowing how to use things, and knowing how they actually work.

[balmy tapir]

yea a few years after I had a typing class in elementary/middle school it stopped being offered

oops my pc cannot boot windows on this bad stick

lol

[swift stream]

yeh so my motherboards bios chip got corrupted by electrostatic (most likely cause)

so now i'm looking for a new one

[hollow ore]

that can happen??

isnt there like protective measures lol

any idea why my transfer speed can be doing this

[brazen glen]

You’re using a flash drive without dram cache or HBM

[hollow ore]

m.2 to sata ssd

[brazen glen]

Some sort of buffer is being overwhelmed and your computer is busy doing things with the data

[hollow ore]

so my drive isnt dying?

[azure topaz]

or

[brazen glen]

Or your drive is dying

[azure topaz]

consider that

[hollow ore]

hmm

[azure topaz]

file transfer speed is based on the size of the files

[brazen glen]

That too

[hollow ore]

how would i tell tho for sure

[azure topaz]

and if you are transfering a fuck ton of tiny files

[brazen glen]

If there’s lots of small files it’ll be slow as shit

[azure topaz]

its going to be slow no matter what

[hollow ore]

its not that many

[azure topaz]

dont lie to me

[hollow ore]

whats a fuck ton

[azure topaz]

just take the explanation and be happy

[hollow ore]

26k files

[azure topaz]

nothing is wrong, you can try different ports or adaptors, maybe that will help, maybe it wont

[hollow ore]

oh okay

[azure topaz]

likely reason for it is just because youre transfering smaller files

and less that anything is wrong, at least in your scenario

[hollow ore]

well i gotta reinstall windows cuz its fucky i wanna make sure its not cuz my drive is dying

[swift stream]

debating between the ROG Strix X870-A and MSI B850 Gaming Plus Wifi

[azure topaz]

youre not using a shitty flash drive, any sata ssd is going to be better than any flash drive and should be capable of decent speeds over a moderate timespan

[swift stream]

electrostatic discharge can easily damage bios chip and controller

[hollow ore]

okay

is crystal disk check accurate

[azure topaz]

yeah

[grave pulsar]

damn changing my thermal paste genuinely increased my power usage from 28W to 45W

[azure topaz]

means youre not throttling anymore

also means your cpu is also higher clocked rn

aka the repaste did its job

[daring scaffold]

Not bad for $750. 12900K and 13900K

[azure topaz]

wtf is this name

24,130.1

[daring scaffold]

Secret 🙂

[azure topaz]

yeah sell me the crypto scam already

[daring scaffold]

😂

Not a scammer blud

And no, I don’t have a course, nor do I do crypto

[azure topaz]

so you get this often

maybe its a sign the name is weird

[daring scaffold]

Nope

[azure topaz]

https://tenor.com/view/druski-shrug-idk-iono-hands-up-gif-7122581203490458147

[daring scaffold]

You just seemed like the type to ask the follow up questions 😂

[grave pulsar]

just jinxed myself why is my cpu only using 28W again

[daring scaffold]

and idk why I would take time to explain it to you in the first place 😂

[azure topaz]

your crypto course?

[daring scaffold]

don't do crypto buddy, you seem very narrow minded 😂

[azure topaz]

why would you put a very specific dollar amount in your name and not expect to get questions about it

[azure topaz]

no that was just to joke around the real answer was coming

[grave pulsar]

bro i jsut dont get it why am i stuck at 28W at 75C theres no way im thermal throttling

[daring scaffold]

because people usually don't give a crap about other people's names, most people have other things to worry about 😂

[grave pulsar]

i lit just changed the paste

[grizzled frost]

check per core usage

and check to see if you’re gpu throttled

[azure topaz]

& vrm temps

what is the rest of the computer matter of a fact lol

[grizzled frost]

and are you taking about cpu or gpu

[grave pulsar]

hmm well my cpu is only at ~ 80% usage

[azure topaz]

somethin

[grizzled frost]

given the 28w i’m guessing cpu

[charred hare]

Yes

[grave pulsar]

cpu

[azure topaz]

yah and idk a laptop

[grave pulsar]

2060 i7 9750h btw

[grizzled frost]

“only” at 80% usage

[azure topaz]

yeah imo vrm makes sense

[grizzled frost]

check per core usage

[azure topaz]

check vrm temps 👍

[daring scaffold]

PC flipping, its for PC flipping servers

[grave pulsar]

need another softwarew for vrm temps

[azure topaz]

see now it makes sense

[grizzled frost]

so what does the dollar amount actually even refer to

[azure topaz]

hwinfo should read it

[grave pulsar]

whats the best thermals software

[grizzled frost]

the amount of debt your in?

[azure topaz]

either how much hes made or bought

[daring scaffold]

profit so far this year

[grave pulsar]

aight

[grizzled frost]

hwinfo64

[grizzled frost]

why include that in your display name?

[azure topaz]

big flex

[daring scaffold]

[azure topaz]

big computer guy

(its fine im just too lazy to flip)

[daring scaffold]

Keep track of other flippers who do the same, good to track the market and how others are doing

[tired bear]

(its negative)

[azure topaz]

i buy the good deals and then they just dont leave my house

[daring scaffold]

feels like it sometimes 😂

[azure topaz]

i get halfway there thats some credit

if you apply the uk school system i think i still pass

[daring scaffold]

always the hard part lol, we all like to get good deals

but you have to actually do the PC's, and that can get tiring

[azure topaz]

oh i mean i build the pcs

[daring scaffold]

oh LOL

I just enjoy getting deals

[azure topaz]

okay well build is a stretch

i get the pcs to a state of which they function

[daring scaffold]

I'll have like 25 kits of RAM once my next shipment arrives lol

[grave pulsar]

im dumb where do i see vrm temps

[tired bear]

define kits

[azure topaz]

(if you havent gotten the point i overclock more than i sell shit)

[azure topaz]

look for VRM MOS or similar

relaunch it as sensors only

[daring scaffold]

2x16gb, mix of ddr4 and ddr5. Like 7 DDR5 kits, and the rest DDR4, various speeds

[azure topaz]

[daring scaffold]

I try to only do 32GB in flips, better for the buyer

[grizzled frost]

better for you*

[tired bear]

scalping moment

[daring scaffold]

Not really, puts my cost up a lot 😂

[daring scaffold]

Also no, if I wanted to do that then I could sell all the RAM i have for 2-3x more than I got it for and earn more that way lol

[azure topaz]

yeah realistically like 7 kits of ram for about 1k is like, reasonable

[daring scaffold]

I bought them for $75 each

DDR5

[azure topaz]

150$ a kit

[daring scaffold]

And could sell them for like $200 each lol

[azure topaz]

if what he says lines up your prices are reasonable

[daring scaffold]

no, $75 per kit

[azure topaz]

what youd sell it for

"itll be like 25k after i sell this ram" or something

[daring scaffold]

I don't care to sell, but marketprice is easily $200 for DDR5, and $150 for DDR4

Per kit atm

[azure topaz]

yeah

absurd

[daring scaffold]

so whatever the numbers on that is, I don't care to know

[azure topaz]

1 dollar

[daring scaffold]

for DDR5, the DDR4 kits were $50

[grave pulsar]

bruh i swera my lapotp just doesnt have that

[stiff swift]

does anyone know why my pc like crashes/freezes/restarts amd when I open up a mov file? (video file) onnly happens when I do that. games is fine I can handle every game ultra without crashing

[daring scaffold]

also idk what this was for lol, but you do you 😂

[tired bear]

dowload vlc and set it as defaut media player

[stiff swift]

thanks

[grave pulsar]

is any of this the vrm

[warm sage]

why does this feel like such an ai generated comment😭

[grizzled frost]

it’s a passive aggressive one

not saying you're false but idk a human who says "in the context of" lol

[grizzled frost]

albeit a lightheartedly passive aggressive one

[formal sonnet]

I get that a lot for some reason. Maybe I've secretly been living my life as a robot this whole time. Maybe it's Maybelline. 🤷

[grizzled frost]

most people…?

it’s just a precise way of speaking

[empty quartz]

@azure topaz do i snag a 2008 mac pro from work?

(Its going to be recycled otherwise)

[formal sonnet]

I mean, by this logic, lots of people must be "Ai" because I do not know any humans who say things like "unc", "based", "cringe", "skibidi", or "6-7" in real life. 🤷 Perhaps we're all just Machine Learning algorithms trapped in fleshy bodies stuck in the Matrix.

[warm sage]

i don't see that type of response much

maybe outside of reddit lol

[empty quartz]

@formal sonnet nah, its organic machine learning

[mental lodge]

Do NVIDIA cards have a maximum clock speed when boosting? I‘m asking because I got this throttling warning in a game.

[grave pulsar]

why do i feel like my cpu is thermal throttling at only 80C

[stray portal]

Probably vram limitation

Happens a lot on nvidia gpus

[grave pulsar]

and even tho im pulling 45W its only running at 2.9ghz,

[sharp ivy]

Sooooooo

[tired bear]

Bc it stops boosting at that temp

[sharp ivy]

It fell off my desk

[grave pulsar]

80c is low

[sharp ivy]

but it's the magic Latitude 5411 so it's completely unbothered

1 quick reboot later and it's fine

[tired bear]

@mental lodge

[mental lodge]

Actually just noticed the Throttle is related to power

Which is weird because my psu is overkill for this gpu

[azure topaz]

"throttling warning"
?

[mental lodge]

I think it is the cable

Yeah power

[azure topaz]

bro

do you know what a tdp is

[ashen hearth]

Hey guys

[mental lodge]

Yes

[azure topaz]

do you know that the card itself has a power limit

[mental lodge]

Yes

[azure topaz]

did you know that that is the limit its talking about

did you know that it has nothing to do with your power supply or anything but that

[mental lodge]

Board power limited

Isn’t it

[azure topaz]

yes man

youre hitting the cards power limit

its normal for your performance limiter to be power or vrel

[gritty mural]

Is a used Zotac Gaming GeForce RTX 3060TI 8GB - Dual Fan worth it for 170$

[azure topaz]

its not a "throttle warning"

its telling you what limit (that they put in place themselves) is holding the card back

thats not throttling

[mental lodge]

Ah

[azure topaz]

its like actually working as described

[mental lodge]

Ok so not throttling but limited

[azure topaz]

yes

but limited is always going to happen

windows defender

unlocking the poewr limit on graphics cards isnt very easy

windows defender

dont buy or use anything else its all bloatware

[mental lodge]

Also dumb on mine bc it only has a miniature 6 pin and it is probably pulling around 220W max

Yes

[azure topaz]

150w as pcie spec would dictate

[mental lodge]

Tdp is 220

[azure topaz]

but it only has a 6 pin?

[mental lodge]

Yeah the stupid hp one

[azure topaz]

math doesnt math

[mental lodge]

The melty connector

[azure topaz]

you mean 12 pin? im so confused

[mental lodge]

Yeah

But it only has 6 connected

[azure topaz]

do NOT call it a 6 pin

😭 hhad me lost

whatever hp chooses to do internally to the connector is not at fault of the connector

[hardy horizon]

Looking for upgrade advise, I have no idea what mount this is.

[grizzled frost]

what do you mean the 12v-2x6 only has 6 pins connected

[azure topaz]

its a vesa mount

[azure topaz]

im not even going to decipher it

[hardy horizon]

Here is some more pics

[azure topaz]

100x100 mount

[hardy horizon]

I tried mounting my ROG swift (ips) and nothing lined up

[azure topaz]

well one is vesa 100x100 whats the other one

[mental lodge]

Maybe it was 8 not quite sure rn

[hexed tapir]

$354 24" smart tv? Is it because it's 12v or whatever

[grizzled frost]

lol wtf

[mental lodge]

Yeah that is what I thought

[grizzled frost]

btw this is still called a 12pin connector, even though only 6 are hooked up electrically

[mental lodge]

Oh sure

[grizzled frost]

cause you royally confused the hell out of me and floppa calling it a 6pin connector

cause that’s a whole separate kind of connector

[ashen hearth]

I need a quick help with something that I remember reading in an article that was about choosing a good external HDD, it had to do with CMR and soldered USB, is there any site where I can filter for such specs?

[mental lodge]

Ok to clarify it is a 8pin to 12pin which has 6 strands

Makes sense, right?

[formal sonnet]

It might not be "low" depending on what the manufacturer of the device set the throttling thresholds to. For example, ust because Intel says a CPU has a TDP of say 65w does not mean every laptop with that CPU is capable of reaching 65w. Same goes for boost frequencies and "maximum" temperatures; the design of the laptop and its cooling system govern whether or not a manufacturer will allow maximum TDP in said device.

[grave pulsar]

my problme before was that i capped the pl1 to 45w, i changed it to 60w and now it reaches 3.3ghz and 90c

[formal sonnet]

2.9GHz is still 0.3GHz above base frequency so it's not like the CPU isn't boosting - it just won't boost higher than whatever the manufacturer decided to set the limits to on this particular laptop.
https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/191045/intel-core-i79750h-processor-12m-cache-up-to-4-50-ghz/specifications.html

[grave pulsar]

not sure if that extra .3ghz on each core is worth but more clock speed looks nicer

[formal sonnet]

Well, of course more frequency looks nicer and, more important than looks, usually means more performance... at the expense of the life of the system. (More heat = shorter lifespan.)

[grave pulsar]

this laptops gotta go anyway, im gonna juice out the last bits of life it has left

i wonder what will happen if i keep raising the power limits

[hardy horizon]

Reddit says 100x100.

[fickle ivy]

Is there any way to make windows shut the hell up about upgrading to windows 11

It basically temporarily bricks my laptop when the pop-up comes up

[hardy horizon]

"RV rated" I guess idk. Yeah they're stuff is relatively durable ... but like the problem is it's also like feels like a $10 product that they added some silicone to cushion stuff internally ... and then charge 10x the price.

[mental lodge]

Damn

[hardy horizon]

So ya I wanna replace my 1080p TV (actually 1366X768) with something better. I don't need a TV, technically I have a omnidirectional powered antenna with booster but I'm never going to use it... So yeah

[real quiver]

If you're that concerned then use malwarebytes or something

But if you aren't being stupid then you probably don't have a virus

[formal sonnet]

There's always a chance something isn't (yet) detectable. No security software is 100% effective. If you think you have malware due to reasonable events that recently happened on your device, reinstalling the OS is the ONLY way to be CERTAIN you don't have malware.

[azure topaz]

my roomie has a similar monitor and needs some form of adaptor they included in the box for a standard vesa mount

[hardy horizon]

Can't it live in BIOS? Wasn't that something Luke was worried about on the hacked PC?

[hardy horizon]

I looked, no adapters. Is there like a third party one?

[formal sonnet]

I mean, technically, yes, but that's a risk one would have to decide if it's worth living with or not. Otherwise, yes, the whole device must be replaced...

[hardy horizon]

I mean like I already have the ROG just sitting in storage .. so if it'll work obviously I'd prefer to just use it then I don't have to buy anything. And also like when I get my Windows laptop back I have g-sync, etc.

I don't know how Apple lets you do things but I think that would work with the MacBook too right? Or are you only allowed to use like monitors that pay apples $400 in order to then be able to work with Mac?

[hardy horizon]

Is that due to ring 0 exploit? JW

It's just crazy that like I could infect a commercial organization and force them to spend billions of dollars to replace every piece of hardware. Just because of the fear 👀

[hardy horizon]

#tech-chat-1 message

What is it doin?

[formal sonnet]

Then it's likely that there's no virus, but always a 0.000001% chance. Why do you think you have malware anyway?

[azure topaz]

zI DONT THINK SO

[formal sonnet]

That's why they'd likely do a risk assessment where they decide if replacing the hardware is worth it vs. the cost of a data leak. I hate that this is how businesses look at it, including the government, because it'll be OUR data that's leaked, but this is the unfortunate reality we live in.

[azure topaz]

def the samething as my roomies monitor

[hardy horizon]

Damn.. any mounta that you think could replace the head of the one I have?

[hardy horizon]

Oh no mines the square one. I have the OG(V2 -ips) Swift

[formal sonnet]

Ah yes, the joys of using sketchy pirated software. There are still lots of legitimate illegitimate sources for this kind of thing out there (of which I know about mostly for software titles you can't legally purchase anymore), but there are also tons of pirated software packages out there that have been modified to include malware.

[ivory mountain]

pirated software is L opsec

[formal sonnet]

Best thing to do these days is not use pirated software on any system that's 1) connected to the internet and/or 2) contains any kind of personal information.

[hardy horizon]

I had it on a vesa(?) before that was shaped like an x it BARELY fit in the hole. I didn't know that that was some kind of special Vesa.

[shy arch]

I get free shipping for anything and everything... See where I am in Canada shipping is the best part about Ali, it's always free and always comes much sooner than the advertised time (~10 days on average).

[hardy horizon]

Shaped like this x one.

[upper glen]

Zamn

[valid laurel]

this is in pounds so its worth more than dollars

[ivory mountain]

get fucked

[eager mango]

yeah i know, 1400 pounds is like 3800 nzd.. so i believe around 2000 usd if im correct

[eager mango]

my 16gb of ddr3 is still holding up 🙏

[ivory mountain]

ram is expensive everywhere now, it was maybe 140 usd when u got yours

[ivory mountain]

ddr3 oh god

[eager mango]

no, current price, just checked

[ivory mountain]

send link cuz ik someone looking for ddr5

[eager mango]

it works for what i need, i hardly game, and if i do its messing around on roblox with friends and occasionaly gta which runs very well at max settings

[eager mango]

its a new zealand company so the tax to get it shipped to the us will be more than the actual price

[valid laurel]

why is it when i'm able to buy shit for a pc, the pc market for a part gets fucked

[ivory mountain]

ik some people in new zealand looking

[eager mango]

oh ok

[hexed tapir]

Different stands and 2nd" one has a anti glare coating, can't find the 3rd one on aoc site

[ivory mountain]

because they said "fuck it we dont want xXEmmaBooXx to build a pc"

[west arrow]

The 3rd one should be the base model lol

[eager mango]

oopp its its looking more like 500 nzd now, so more like 270 usd

[west arrow]

And thats it?

mine said i wss 21 or something, im not even over 18

[west arrow]

And if i cant find it should i try to import it?

[west arrow]

Did you see that one 8 yo kid which it said was 21?

[eager mango]

they also better delete all of those and not store them like discord did... god

[west arrow]

They say they do lol

But i dont trust them at all

[eager mango]

also id verification better be removed instantanously when verified

[west arrow]

@hexed tapir

[west arrow]

Wdym?

[hexed tapir]

Just buy what's available they are all good

[west arrow]

Ok ty

[swift stream]

ehh

[hexed tapir]

Save the $57

[swift moss]

poor india too 😭 999

[eager mango]

when you get banned from discord for being underage, you either accept the ban or submit your id, they SHOULD delete all the ids once verified, but they kept them stored in a ticket location, someone hacked into it and saved so many peoples ids onto a harddrive and threatned to leak it, including minors ids if discord didnt pay them like 5 millilon dollars or something

that better not happen with robloxs id verification

[west arrow]

?

[swift moss]

the air quality is so bad it topped out the sensor at 999 in multiple places

aqi in the overrun auckland is 11, and that has a lot of chinese and indian people living there

[hardy horizon]

I love when the cheap product get some things just so right! ($10) The roughness on the outside of the case? perfect you're going to scratch it up anyways.
The ability to pair one earbud with one device and another with another is shockingly useful.
15 in case =2hrs isn't it amazing. Butt it's really not bad when you consider it's only rated for 5.5.
The hinge is trash.

I think skullcandy ($20)had some too, the one thing I didn't like about theirs is although they had longer battery life the case was only good for one single charge. Here you get 3 in case you forget.

[eager mango]

did you take offence?

[west arrow]

Dont you have a functioning police force?

[swift moss]

and one costco

[eager mango]

our police force is top 5 least courpt in the world

[west arrow]

For the whole two islands?

[swift moss]

yes and one ikea that just opened

[west arrow]

Thats great but when there is one person in it its not that hard

[hardy horizon]

WTF are they speaking?? Slanglish/Ubbi dubbi? (OG's know Ubbi dubbi)

[west arrow]

IKEA

[eager mango]

apart from this fucken clown

[swift moss]

police is doing the best they can 🙏

[eager mango]

everyone hates them

[swift moss]

WHAT

[west arrow]

Idk what he did but he does look like a clown

[swift moss]

they've never bothered me, so i beg to differ

[swift moss]

hes wearing patches as a police officer 😭

[eager mango]

hes wearing a gang vest and doing their handsign

[west arrow]

Seesh

[west arrow]

How the hell do you ecen measure that?

[hardy horizon]

Why the video mirrored lol looking like they are all driving on the wrong side of the road 💀 lmao like we wouldn't notice it's doctored.

they drive on the left

[hardy horizon]

Why... Makes as much sense as driving in reverse everywhere 🙄

[west arrow]

Stop the rage bait

[eager mango]

real, very unsuccessful

[west arrow]

Anyway, enjoy your kiwis and bye

I do not belive only 86.8% of players have this

[grizzled frost]

single 8 pin or two

[mental lodge]

Single

[grizzled frost]

you’re still limited to 150w by the pcie standard

[buoyant bridge]

I think mfgs have been ignoring that limit for a long time

[viral kayak]

https://no.pcpartpicker.com/list/KQhtVF good build? Already have memory and storage

[buoyant bridge]

Dell pushes 225W down a single 6 pin on its WS hardware

[mental lodge]

Its only 145W

[viral kayak]

This is a payday game right?

[buoyant bridge]

yeah

[viral kayak]

Payday 3?

[buoyant bridge]

this is on a system with a proprietary power supply, one six pin for each GPU slot each is 225W

[hardy horizon]

"Noise cancelling " sure ... With ZERO seal 🤣 let see how these sound.

[grizzled frost]

would have to be a 8+6 for 225w, or 8+slot power

8pin pcie is rated for 150w, 6pin pcie is rated for 75w

[buoyant bridge]

nope. Only a single 6 pin in almost all Dell workstations before 2017

[hardy horizon]

Shocked. At the max "recommended" Samsung level, a smidge muddy lows, but good defined highs.
At 80% starts getting harsh, like a clip on the highs.
At 100% uncomfortable sharp highs, everything a muddy mess. Uncomfortable to listen to.
(This is coming from someone who had 4000w RMS sound system in a Ford Ranger with 2 12's)
For $10 🤔 yeah, just keep the volume low.

[buoyant bridge]

in 2017 they started pushing 300W over a single 8 pin instead

[grizzled frost]

that's out of spec then

[buoyant bridge]

That's what I said

[grizzled frost]

like yes you can do 300w over a single 8pin, but it's outside of spec

[buoyant bridge]

Everything Pcie related in Dell workstations is out of spec

[grizzled frost]

that's extremely weird that they do that

[buoyant bridge]

Technically it gets worse actually

The cables for the 6 pin / 8 pin? Yeah those break out from a single 8 pin connector

so on shit like the T5820 it's 600W being pushed over a single 8 pin connector to 2 8 pin connectors for 2 gpus

The T7920 is even worse

This is the one for the T3610, it breaks out 450W over a single 8 pin

This is the T5610 one it breaks out 675W over a single 8 pin😭 😭 😭

Oh also it has these aftermarket cables available for it😭

There's not really any fusing in their PSUs so they'll actually pull as many amps as you let them. They'll happily burn up that 8 pin connector if you install a big enough PSU (max the T3610 will accommodate is 1800W btw)

[harsh whale]

Which one should I get?

[hexed tapir]

5070ti

[buoyant bridge]

okay

ig

[hexed tapir]

Hey no gooning

[rose sorrel]

This fell out of favor psu is it a capacitor ?

[frigid blade]

doesnt look like a capacitor

[supple coral]

Looks closer to an inductor. What PSU?

[rose sorrel]

Came out of old compaq I am was going to put in my Optiplex ?

I’m pretty sure psu is like 10-12 years old

[cold skiff]

It’s a 2010/11 PSU

It’s like a modern day CX /bronze rated cheaper Corsair psu.

Probably lucky to get a stable 500w out of it in its day.

[supple coral]

https://www.techpowerup.com/review/corsair-gs800/4.html
I wouldn't use it after that, especially with its age.

[rose sorrel]

Is there a cheap good psu ?

[cold skiff]

Honestly using that will still be better than using anything from GameMax

[rose sorrel]

I ma not out anything I got the pc that this psu came out for free

Thses any good ?

[vague glacier]

How is it going bad bitches of Tech-Chat-1?

[rose sorrel]

Is dddr 2 worth keeps or just scrap ?

It’s worth keeping in the bin

Would be my mc server

[gusty wagon]

https://cultists.network/140/psu-tier-list/

i have no opinions of my own - all my mine are based off of the PSU tier list right here. it is no different than if you have read it by yourself.

[solar moat]

almost look like ram in wrong slot

[slender parcel]

who are you ☠️

[harsh whale]

Sorry for the late reply, but I’m personally looking to get another monitor (I currently have a 2K 180Hz monitor, and a 720p 60 Hz monitor 🥀, i don’t use the 720p since I have a laptop) so I’ll prob be looking into getting another monitor. Is the main difference just the GPU?

[vague glacier]

I think the journey to self actualization is something that every human struggles with. Whether or not I have an answer to that question has no bearing to my initial question of: How is it going bad bitches of Tech-Chat-1?

[slender parcel]

how does ever human struggle with "self actualization"

[vague glacier]

https://tenor.com/view/blade-runner-movie-gif-9399615048716454057

bought new thermal paste for $18 iin hopes to cool my r5 7600 its hitting 50 degrees at idle with a 360 mm aio

[swift moss]

lol

[supple gull]

There is a C rated raidmax cobra atx 3.1 series that is reviewed as safe in the psu tierlist sheet. I've had the 750 watt version which I got for $40 and it's been good. Survived 2 sudden power outtages during heavy use too. Would you say that's fair to suggest?

[south arrow]

This happens quite a bit unfortunately

See it in alot of crypto miner projects at some point or another

[rose sorrel]

Even for a server ?

[gusty wagon]

oh?

[nova sparrow]

Does ram go in 1-3 or 2-4?

[gusty wagon]

it seems like you're placing the importance of servers beneath a common gaming pc

i'd advise you to further your studies lest you continue making a fool of yourself

[cold skiff]

I’d never say anything is safe without knowing what you’re shoving on the other end of it

[raven spoke]

Does my dell Inspiron 3847 10 year old oem hdd sound ok

It only has like 4006 hours on it

[random gyro]

sup

[supple gull]

Well the 12v rail is rated fkr the same wattage of whatever the PSU is advertised as so assuming its within those bounds

[hollow grail]

best motherboard is arc9800xt3d ti ultra

[south arrow]

2 4 typically

[rose sorrel]

Depends on mobo

[rose sorrel]

It’s a old Optiplex I dont really care if it dyes in a few years

[gusty wagon]

just get anything that's 200~250% your anticipated workload

[south arrow]

[rose sorrel]

Like 450 watt work on gpu too ?

[gusty wagon]

if your entire system is anticipated to draw 400w, get something that's 750w++

has anyone here had that thing where thier monitor would lose signal and gpu fan would go max rpm

[cosmic stratus]

"You dont need raytracing" why so you can glaze amd's raster performance?

[cosmic stratus]

That would happen to me during trial and error tunning my rx vega 56

[glass perch]

Howd you fix it

[main snow]

do they still make 7900 gres?

[grizzled frost]

yes?

[main snow]

I have the 7900 gre sapphire pure and I cannot find it anywhere

[glass perch]

is there anyting that looks wrong with this red thingy

[grizzled frost]

Yeah, your vison, that is clearly pink

[glass perch]

alright man

[grizzled frost]

they may not produce every variant of the 7900gre, but they still produce the dies

[main snow]

Do you know how much it's worth resell? I have the box and everything still.
