[nova sparrow]

Does anyone know what the allocation size is supposed to be for Q Flash Plus?

16KB & Default Allocate size on my USB 3.0 drives = no working Q FLASH PLUS

But USB 2.0 & Default Allocate Size = working Q FLASH PLUS

Also it's 32gb (USB 3.0) & 8GB (USB 2.0)

[thorny saddle]

With respect to Black Ops 7, we set our sights to deliver a spiritual successor to Black Ops 2 and the studios have poured their passion into making a great game that all of us are very proud of. But it’s one thing for us to say it, more importantly it’s up to you to try it and judge for yourselves. So as it relates to Black Ops 7 and the future of Call of Duty, here are a few important notes.

1. You’ll Have the Opportunity to Play Black Ops 7 for Free

• Next week, we are opening the doors for everyone to jump in and play Black Ops 7 Multiplayer and Zombies for a free trial along with a Double XP weekend. We would like you to experience the game firsthand and decide for yourselves.

[empty quartz]

they're 3.7v lipo's.

[hardy horizon]

As a BO2 alumni this is a killer game TBH

*zombies, only play zombies

riddle me this batman
why the fuck is my os drive being occupied by an excess of 300+ GB when two softwares say it should only be using about 130ish

we love windows 11 we love windows 11 we love windows

fantastic.

[formal sonnet]

Are you running this as Admin? If you don't run WizTree / TreeSize / WinDirStat as Admin, it can't see everything.

[shell sail]

should be

one joement

running the scan again just to be sure

if i get different results i might as well quit tech work and live under a rock istg

[fallow yacht]

guys is it true when i replace the charger cable (ac side) of my laptop there's a risk it'll explode or smth?

(my mom said it but I know it does not cuz it's just a cable)

[shell sail]

what?

[formal sonnet]

Um what? If you mean you're replacing the AC adapter / charger that plugs into the laptop, no, those don't explode.

[fallow yacht]

yeah that's y i said AC side

and i think i replaced it with a better one cuz it's thick round vs flat

[formal sonnet]

I am now curious to know how your mom came to the conclusion that replacing this would cause an explosion.

[fallow yacht]

idk maybe she thinks laptop takes in AC power

[shell sail]

boomer mindset

god i knew the scan would take a while but this is agonizing

[formal sonnet]

Use WizTree. It's much faster than the other options. https://diskanalyzer.com/

[shell sail]

what in the 2006 is this??

old ahh icon, love it

oh fantastic, temp files

[fallow yacht]

@formal sonnet old vs new

[shell sail]

oh i mean the bottom one might explode if you use it

[formal sonnet]

If you replace that, it will explode. Don't do it! /s

[shell sail]

https://tenor.com/view/doja-cat-star-wars-gif-25078126

[fallow yacht]

positive side is alr disconnected lmao

[shell sail]

what kind of tomfoolery is this btw, windows having a stroke again as usual? or did i screw up somehow

[swift stream]

should I use a B850 chipset or X870 chipset

[shell sail]

i do have access its literally my computer

[ivory mountain]

If ur asking that question then b850

What socket?

[swift stream]

debating about which board to get
https://a.co/d/eLYoXA6
https://a.co/d/e4DSxJ9

[ivory mountain]

Whats ur budget?

[compact rose]

Do you guys think AIO or air cooled is better for temps? I’m using Lian li’s AIO and feel like it’s not doing a great job

[ivory mountain]

Liquid is usually better, what cpu do you have?

[compact rose]

I9 12900k

[formal sonnet]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hr0qLLv3dKc

[ivory mountain]

Try 2 sticks, if it doesnt boot with 2 u might have a bent pin or some shit affecting dual channel

[shell sail]

mythic ltt pull

[ivory mountain]

Well the 12900K is a hot AF cpu

[compact rose]

Yea thing burns

[ivory mountain]

Have you reset CMOS? XMP doesnt run well on 4 sticks usually

[shell sail]

mmm i wonder if i can just delete these temp files

[swift stream]

so I can't really tell whether I want a new psu or not, my old one was E tier 😔

[ivory mountain]

E tier id get a new psu for sure

[compact rose]

Does anyone have like a beast air cooler

[ivory mountain]

but for ur mobo the ASRock X870E Nova Wifi might be ur best bet, $260 on sale on newegg

[formal sonnet]

Noctua or Thermalright.

[ivory mountain]

its a 12900k its going to be hot, an aircooler wont drastically change your temps from your AIO, its just an overall hot chip

[compact rose]

Yeah I honestly just wanna compare the temps and see if there’s a real difference

[ivory mountain]

i love thermalright they sent out 3 frozen notte's for a video 😭

[sage ocean]

Whats the deal with GPU AIOs are they actually worth it

[sinful cobalt]

No, maintenance and resale value goes down

[swift stream]

ehh this psu is pretty good, but is 80 usd, I would be better off getting the B850

[sinful cobalt]

Unless you know how to maintain and willing to deal with it, not worth

It also disperses the heat into the air faster

[sage ocean]

Maintain an AIO?

[compact rose]

Don’t know but I got a warranty on mine from microcenter so ima go get store credit and get a beefy air cooler + a new fan to do a push pull

[ivory mountain]

u can always go with asrock b850 riptide/pro rs/steel legend, i think the pro rs would be the cheapest ($150)

[ivory mountain]

one of the issues with those are you can only use asetek pumps on them, and their is no vram cooling either

[sage ocean]

Not a custom loop i mean something like this

[swift stream]

the only thing the B850-A is missing that the X870-A has is usb4 and multi-pcie 5.0 I/O lanes. seems like a pretty good deal especially for ASUS board, B850-A is currently going for 190USD

[shell sail]

oh my god free at last...

[ivory mountain]

those are fine but at that price ur better off buying an air cooled 5090 and making a custom loop with the saved money

[sage ocean]

Cba tbh if theyre good then ill consider spending the extra money

[high elm]

no not really they tend to be better binned than the air cooled ones though if you care about overclocking

[sage ocean]

Sounds like a win

[high elm]

for a huge price difference i wouldnt say so imo

[sage ocean]

Can a Phanteks Eclipse P500A fit 2 360 AIOs?

[shell sail]

hmm

[ivory mountain]

i assume ur not using multiple 5.0 drives?

[shell sail]

technically possibly yes but it would probably look awful

[sage ocean]

Well good thing im looking at my monitors and not my PC

[ivory mountain]

its not worth it lol, voiding your warranty for mediocre at best temp differences + overheating vram

[sage ocean]

Theyre an AIB

Im not doing it on my own so why would it void my warranty

Also half of these aren't even in stock but the AIO one is

[swift stream]

it comes with one 5.0 m2 and 5.0 primary for GPU, but I mainly want the board for future proofing

[ivory mountain]

the 5090 cooler is so big that youd just be wasting your time honestly

[sage ocean]

Wym

[sinful cobalt]

And the fact it has more moving parts=more points of failure

[sage ocean]

It has a warranty no?

[sinful cobalt]

Yeah but still the downtime

and after warranty if anytime it fails ur screwed

[sage ocean]

Its not mission critical

[ivory mountain]

honestly the difference between 4.0 and 5.0 ssds is negligible for 90% of people and not worth spending x870e money on

[sage ocean]

Ill probably just buy a new GPU then

Ngl

[high elm]

just buy whatever you feel like getting

aio cards are fine

[sage ocean]

I just need to make sure ill be able to fit it in a case

[high elm]

yea

[sage ocean]

Either my current one or a new one I buy

I think the Eclipse P500A will fit a CPU and GPU aio tho

Its a big case

[swift stream]

it still comes with a secondary pcie lane and 3 m.2 4.0 slots + 2 sata ports

[silent star]

i use blender so ill probably never get an amd gpu

[sudden fractal]

Hello. Has anyone experience blown speakers on a laptop?

[formal sonnet]

Yes. I have. You fix them by replacing the speakers.

[high elm]

^ even if your transferring files locally thru 10 gig that isnt even enuf to saturate a gen 4

[ivory mountain]

im still on gen 3 atm lol and its still fast as shit

[high elm]

yea lmao one of my drives is a toshiba nvme 1.0 pcie 3.0 drive and it works just fine

even for my 10 gig downloads

[ivory mountain]

im on a teamgroup mp33 2tb and a wd blue sn550 1tb (from an old pc)

[sudden fractal]

But I already replaced the speakers but it went the same thing after a few days.

[high elm]

im on this for my microsoft flight sim drive

[sudden fractal]

Do I have to send my laptop internals on may where it happens?

Funny that it is always the left speaker that gets blown.

[formal prism]

Are the speakers plugged directly into the mainboard? If so, it'll need board repair.

[sudden fractal]

Not really.

[formal prism]

So there's an audio daughterboard that the speakers plug into? Try getting a replacement for that. Daughterboards are usually cheap enough that board repair on them isn't worth it

[sudden fractal]

This is the internal look of my laptop.

[sudden fractal]

It is this speaker specifically that it gets destroyed lol.

[compact rose]

Is mix matching fans bad? Lian Li Uni Fan SL120 V2’s arent even in stock anymore and I have 9- gotta replace one

[formal prism]

Looks like only the right speaker is on a daughterboard, but your left speaker appears to be connected directly to the mainboard on the other side. Is there a daughterboard occluded from view?

[swift stream]

the price difference in the X870a to B850 is about 55 dollars, but that is because the B850 is nearly on sale for 100 dollars

[sudden fractal]

No. Both of the speakers are connected to the ports board.

Well, the connection of the speakers are in series.

[formal prism]

ah I see, that blue and white wire

It's not clear if that daughterboard actually contains the audio subcircuit. It may still just go over that FPC cable to the mainboard. Does that I/O daughterboard have the headphone jack too?

[sudden fractal]

Yes it does.

[formal prism]

Try to identify all the ICs on that daughterboard and google them. There are probably some on the other side too. Most of time they're Realtek

[fickle ivy]

Does anyone know why I might be getting very noticeable input latency on a modern wireless mouse

[eager mango]

send model name, is it just on that game or the entire system

[formal prism]

though actually make sure it's even possible to find that daughterboard online. Availability of replacement parts of any kind is not guaranteed unfortunately

[sudden fractal]

Man...

[formal prism]

yea.... right to repair is still a work in progress for the most part

[fickle ivy]

Entire system

Logitech M720

It's not always high, just sometimes

[gentle plover]

could i get some help in tech support? #1449662507865083944

[sudden fractal]

My laptop has been for like 4 years now but what do you mean ics? Like do I need to replace the board too?

[eager mango]

connected via bluetooth or usb stick.

could just be low on charge or battery

[sudden fractal]

Cause I have a spare board back then and it showed the same problem...

[fickle ivy]

Usb

[sudden fractal]

Actually hmmm... could heat be another issue?

My nvme ssd has been heating up. Do you think that could be the issue?

[eager mango]

try a new battery

[eager mango]

wait what’s your issue

[formal prism]

This kind of IC. Anything with a good amount of pins and identifiers on it that can be googled. Ideally your audio IC and it's subcircuit are on this I/O daughtboard. That would allow you to just simply buy a new daughterboard if they're available for purchase

[formal prism]

SSDs don't heat up enough to matter

[sudden fractal]

Ohhh I thought maybe it is due to the voltage it shows up to the ssd to heat up? I dunno...

[formal prism]

If your audio IC and it's subcircuit are actually on the mainboard with your CPU/GPU/etc, then it's either board repair or replacing the entire mainboard (which are often ridiculously overpriced)

[sudden fractal]

If that, I replaced with the same board and it happened the same thing.

[formal prism]

look for the crab. they usually put it on their ICs, though not always

[formal prism]

if it's due to a design error from asus, then you're kinda fucked. If you're extremely lucky, some third-party has found and shared the fix online

[winter lantern]

Should I cook

[sudden fractal]

Man... I wish I know the problem for this laptop in terms ofn it. I only gotten the problem with this month.

[sudden fractal]

Also if I get another laptop, what would you recommend?

Even if it is used btw.

[formal prism]

I haven't been in the laptop market in forever nor do I know your needs. If you want a completely out of hand recommendation, https://frame.work ig

@drowsy isle PLEASE DONT TELL ME YOU SPENT THAT MUCH

[golden sage]

My secondary trident kit (7200 24x2) costs 1.1k now, these prices are stupid

And to those also selling their used ram at 1.1k at the used market thinking they’ll make the “big bucks” are as equally stupid

[shell sail]

i am very satisfied with my 32gb kit

tforce going strong gng

[stray portal]

im so lucky ii got my pc a year ago it was priced normally

[eager mango]

my 2005 dell laptop with sodimm ddr2 and windows xp says hello

Keep going brotha

My 32gb kit is in RMA, its a 8 week wait, thankfully i could run my spare 24x2 intel version of the kit on my amd motherboard , had to seek some help in #overclocking too hahah

[eager mango]

how do i get the bread roll role

[golden sage]

I assume its a server booster role

On a side note i regret tapping ur profile while im in public.

[shell sail]

im good with 32
my personal server has 64gb ddr4

[eager mango]

haha

[golden sage]

DDR4 Hasnt skyrocketed in my country yet

[shell sail]

soon

tm

[drowsy isle]

It's not for me, buying for a family member

had a lot of rewards point with best buy

[shell sail]

that changes nothing

SOMEONE spend 900 dollars on ram

[unique tapir]

Google Fi is by FAR the worst US based cell carrier

By FAR

Worse than Sprint

[drowsy isle]

I bought my 64gb trident kit for $194 back in February lmao

[shell sail]

i get coverage everywhere with it

[drowsy isle]

Now it's the most expensive part in my 5080 9800x3d pc

[unique tapir]

Their customer services makes me wanna throw myself off a cliff

[shell sail]

aye fair

[unique tapir]

Lol

[drowsy isle]

Spectrum was pretty bad too

if the walls were even slightly thick there goes your service

[shell sail]

tmobile (metro) tried to screw me out of my pixel 6 and i just took it back and left

[drowsy isle]

it's using verizon towers but very shitty priority

tmobile has been the best for me so far all the others are pretty bad in my state

[unique tapir]

At least Spectrum has people you can understand

No offense

Kinda feel I'm talking to someone on the other side of the planet

Google Fi is unbearably bad

Customer service wise

I'd rather be homeless than have use Fi

That's coming from someone who has met people at shelters

[drowsy isle]

You know what I never used Google fi but I 100% believe it’s dog shit

[unique tapir]

I've had issues with them and every time I can't understand them tho

[drowsy isle]

T-Mobile customer support too, thickest accents in the world

Google probably offshores even harder

[unique tapir]

Sorry for ruining chat

[woven wigeon]

rate the icons

[flint swallow]

hows 2060 + 3600x today? im wondering what to do with this setup that i have

[cold skiff]

It’s great for OSRS

Make it a RuneScape rig for sure

[true stirrup]

If it runs everything you need it to run then it's great

[flint swallow]

well, i upgraded already, so im wondering what i can do with the pc

[cold skiff]

Play games

[flint swallow]

like what do people usually repurpose old desktops for

[cold skiff]

Watch YouTube. Yknow that sort of thing

[true stirrup]

You can make a NAS or a server out of it

[formal sonnet]

Too many icons. Need to turn off icons.

[woven wigeon]

uh im not really bothered by it

[woven wigeon]

also i did not download anything for this

this was pre loaded on windoes 11

[delicate zodiac]

how does this have to be aimed towards wifi router?

[mint umbra]

Why hide them

What's the point of shortcuts if you ain't gunna use them lol

[tawny lava]

can someone help me reduce high cpu temps at full load

[flint swallow]

60c seems aite

else is down to undervolting or a more aggresive fan curve

after that its gonna be better fans/better cpu cooler

[true stirrup]

60°C at full load is not hot at all on that CPU
Even 80-90°C would be normal

Windows has a menu where you can see all the apps
For all the files install WizTree

Just ask here

[iron glen]

MD you got any monitor reccommendations?
lwk want a 120hz one thats not too expensive but idk what to look for

idk if oleds are very expensive

[true stirrup]

Well if you can spare the money get an oled but they are quite expensive
Otherwise just go with IPS

[iron glen]

whats the difference

ik LCDs and oleds and qleds

[true stirrup]

Oled has better colours and blacks

[iron glen]

idk what i expected tbh

also is the display thing universal? like for ex a 25" monitor will always be 1080p or smth or do they vary from monitor to monitor

[true stirrup]

Well I am just a random discord member like everyone else here so if it's something really private just don't disclose it

[true stirrup]

Like the amount of pixels stays the same
So if you increase the size but keep the same resolution it will look worse

[iron glen]

shoot

[iron glen]

ah

[woeful leaf]

guys i need a relatively small laptop (15 inch is total max, preferably under 14) that has 32gb of ram, atleast 512gb storage, decent cpu and a gpu that would play aaa titles in 60fps on lowest settings however what i care the most about is the battery life. i need it to have like 2 modes igpu and dgpu, is there anyone who knows some laptop stuff and could recommend?

[iron glen]

pinebook :3

[true stirrup]

Like 27" 1080p for me personally looks quite bad
But personal preference I guess

[woeful leaf]

any specific model?

[iron glen]

the joke here is that pinebooks are very cheap but also very bad for gaming and meant for light office work

[woeful leaf]

oh alr

[tired bear]

what is your budget

[iron glen]

its like 100usd for a laptop or smth idk

[woeful leaf]

i dont mind getting something used but around 1.5k usd

well 1-1.5k

1.5k would be my max i guess

[iron glen]

nvm i think they stopped making them

nevermind

[woeful leaf]

it doesnt have to be crazy good, just able to play most games at 60 fps (aaa games too just on low settings)

i mostly care about battery life

and portability

[iron glen]

also did you see the bike i sent

[tired bear]

hp victus 15?

[woeful leaf]

lemme see

[tired bear]

msi thin 15

lenovo legion 5i

[woeful leaf]

doesnt have 32gb option for me

[tired bear]

ram can be upgraded

[iron glen]

im too far out of the tech circle
you js naming stuff now 🥀

[tired bear]

and atm ram is expensive af

[hidden anvil]

which gpu is the best value the rx 6800xt for 299$ or a 6950xt for 400$ or a 3090 for about 450$?

5070 is there too but thats 600$ and i dont wanna spend that much on a gpu

[woeful leaf]

i have 6800 xt

and cant complain

great performance, amazing vram

really cheap for what it offers

[sharp ocean]

is there any 1440p monitors tandem oled 280 hz + that are in stock

[somber zealot]

looking for one too, but 240hz

I’ve seen some for like 500 bucks but they’re the “cheap” alternatives

[hidden anvil]

yeah

only real question is if the 3090 is worth 150$ more for dlss and raytracing and slightly better performance

[woeful leaf]

thats half rx 6800 xt's price

if you're really able to spend this much more

then sure i guess?

but only if you're actually able to do that without sacrificing other stuff etc

[sinful cobalt]

3090

[signal salmon]

CPU hitting 80 degrees in custom loop, whilst gpu is peaking at like 45, is this normal? it also idles at like 55

[sinful cobalt]

if its a 13-14900K its within normal range

[signal salmon]

9900x

[hidden anvil]

i would sacrifise eating for around 2 months but thats okay

[sage ocean]

Whats a good PC case that can fit 2x 360mm radiators, preferably non rgb case, black in color. Maybe even no window. Just large, good airflow, and sleek looking

[sinful cobalt]

havn hs420, but its glass

[sage ocean]

Any that aren't glass and are just fully enclosed like old be quiets?

[true stirrup]

I only saw the pictures you sent in DMs

idc what i play at its never high anyway

fps games don't need to be pretty they need to be visible

no point in playing if i can't see the enemy because of effects

[frigid blade]

Seems not too far off of the prices in the US, I’m seeing around $300 for 4k 120hz but they also drop below that

What’s with these weird ass dynamic refresh rate and resolution monitors

4k 160hz or 1080p 360hz same monitor

Switching between them depending on if you’re watching a movie or playing a comp game lol

[dawn glade]

Nice name

[tired bear]

variable refresh rate

doesn't say it does

has freesync but idk if my gpu has that

What one my pc as no WiFi ?

[teal sphinx]

Just got Samsung Galaxy Tab S9+ for 366$

🙏

[true stirrup]

Try to find something with AX211

It should be quite cheap as well

[rose sorrel]

I build my bro a pc out of a old hp That was standard I put in a new case and didn’t have WiFi and where it’s at he can’t run Ethernet to it so I need to find a WiFi card or dongle

@true stirrup this ?

[true stirrup]

Yeah but a whole card
Like the red one on your image above

That one has AX210

Which is also fine

Just find the cheapest one with AX210

[rose sorrel]

But says it for 12 gen my bros cpu is 6500

I5 6500

[polar mauve]

one quick question, does a wifi card like that image work in a normal nvme m.2 slot or do i have to have a specific "wifi slot"?

[rose sorrel]

I think m.2

[teal sphinx]

Beware this might not work on all systems

Especially if you're using amd

[rose sorrel]

He using i5 6500

[teal sphinx]

Get ax210 instead of ax211

[rose sorrel]

How about a pice WiFi card

[true stirrup]

Get one with the AX210 inside it

[rose sorrel]

Ok

I am working a project now

I can’t get display I had display before but can’t get one now

[teal sphinx]

That won't work with ax211 if I am not wrong

It doesn't support cnvio2

Just get ax210. Save headache

[rose sorrel]

Should I try to plug this pc into my monitor?

I don’t know what this means

[pulsar root]

Lowkey can’t people just buy an office pc for $100 and just take the ram

[teal sphinx]

Oh my god forgot how expensive these things can get at us

I got ax210 with the pcie card for 15$ brand new

[true stirrup]

It would come with DDR4 which isn't as inflated as DDR5

[pulsar root]

Oh

Ye true ig

[rose sorrel]

My bro brought this for his pc

[drowsy isle]

Ram secured

[teal sphinx]

what a deal

wait, how many mhz?

[teal sphinx]

jesus, how much money is that

[rose sorrel]

I don’t know he lives in different state now

[drowsy isle]

Don’t wanna talk about it

[rose sorrel]

Is windows 10 still usable for server ?

[ionic peak]

pc

[rose sorrel]

Should I throw a gpu in here ?

It’s my server tho ?

[tired bear]

you should use server OS like truenas

or linux

[wheat torrent]

yes but its annoying

[rose sorrel]

I can’t put 11 in it since it’s 4 gen

[wheat torrent]

doubt

windows 11 limitations are just soft gatekeeping

also you wouldn't need windows 11 for a server...

you can install windows server if you want

what's annoying about windows to be used as a server is if you fail to disable every update and whatever

because after a while the computer will just turn off to update...

[rose sorrel]

So it as windows 10 now should I try to install 11

[wheat torrent]

for what purporse

[tired bear]

for server i never preffer windows os

[wheat torrent]

for server I would recommend linux

but both my servers use normal windows...

[tired bear]

all my servers run penguin os 🐧

[wheat torrent]

I love RDP into it easily

[rose sorrel]

I have never used Linux so I am scared lol and want to run a mc server off it and just like the idea of being able to remote in to it

I remote into my bros real server

[wheat torrent]

they are more like normal desktop that run always rather than server

[tired bear]

i love ssh into it easily
no need for gui

[wheat torrent]

sure

[tired bear]

running mc server on linux is super easy

Is there a cheap GPU that does not take any pcie

[wheat torrent]

gpu over usb?

those need a thunderbolt port

or oculink/nvme

[gray copper]

[cosmic lance]

is this bad?

[gray copper]

its been on for 10 years.. time to let it go

[shy arch]

I’ve seen worse

Lmao

[cosmic lance]

oh god your right

so should I keep the first or second one?

[gray copper]

holy moly...

[proper gull]

"should I keep the good one or the dying one"

[cosmic lance]

but the second one has more storage

[proper gull]

And? It's fucking dying

[gray copper]

you can use it still, but its likely that it is going to fail and you will lose all of your data

[cosmic lance]

how is it dying

[proper gull]

It's also far slower than the other one

[cosmic lance]

alr alr I will keep the good one

thanks

[shy arch]

Huh? Its RPM is the same

[rose sorrel]

Does not want to spend that much like $50 at most

I found a 750 it for $20 in his area that should work right ?

[proper gull]

....

[wheat torrent]

gpus over thunderbolt will set you back a lot more than a normal PCIE gpu

[shy arch]

Ohhh mb

[proper gull]

spindle speed != Data transfer speed

[shy arch]

Transfer rate

[rose sorrel]

He not that good with tech I am the pc guy in family he know like phone and stuff like that but not pcs

[proper gull]

They're not talking about thunderbolt gpus

They're talking about slot power only gpus

[wheat torrent]

he said a gpu that does not take any PCIE

[left dove]

all gpus use pcie

thunderbolt is just pcie over usb c

[wheat torrent]

yes

[shy arch]

Yh u just buy an adapter

[wheat torrent]

and I doubt his PC even has thunderbolt like that

[shy arch]

Whats the og question

[proper gull]

Pcie power. Hence why they mentioned a 750 ti

[somber zealot]

up here

[shy arch]

Well depending on ur use case, you could buy an external dock and throw any gpu in it (check wattage)

[gleaming rose]

I may start paying for proton now

[proper gull]

Again, they're not asking about thunderbolt docks

[shy arch]

Or go for the cheaper, messier route and buy an msata/usb to pcie adapter

And a psu

[rose sorrel]

He does not know much about computers I am in diffident state from him now

[gleaming rose]

I just wish the storage wasn't so expensive, like what am I gonna do with only 500gb

[shy arch]

HDDs are dirt cheap

[proper gull]

You want a GPU that doesn't take a 6 pin power cable, correct?

[shy arch]

But for a good reason

[gleaming rose]

I would use it to backup my local HDD server

[shy arch]

I mean back in black friday u could’ve gotten a 24tb barracuda for i think $400 or smth like that

[rose sorrel]

Yeah I found him 1060 and 750 it

Does not need to be powful

[cold skiff]

Fear the mighty retro builders using PCI and AGP

[proper gull]

there was a 1060 without pcie power?

Well go with that, will be much better than the 750

[frigid blade]

Just use one of these

[proper gull]

Gtfo

[wheat torrent]

what do you need??

[proper gull]

No shitpost

[cold skiff]

Doubtful. Even 3gb was 120w

[wheat torrent]

why do you need a gpu without pcie power??

[frigid blade]

It’s very safe

[cold skiff]

1050 was 75w and could be powered from motherboard only if manufacturer wanted. Not sure if any did

[proper gull]

Because shitty OEM power supply without pcie power, obviously

[rose sorrel]

It’s a just basic pc to use to do pc stuff on and the cpu in it won’t allow him to dual screen so I am thinking he need a GPU since cpu is prob not powerful enough to dual screen

And play Pokemon TCG online

[wheat torrent]

did he say that?

[rose sorrel]

It’s does

[robust trail]

You can get a board powered video card

[proper gull]

Please use your brain

[robust trail]

just get some cheap cheap video card and you will be good to go

[proper gull]

You haven't at all so far since they asked their question

[wheat torrent]

I am asking for context stop being condescending

[cold skiff]

Yep 1050 doesn’t need a PCIe cable

[frigid blade]

PCIe cable?

[rose sorrel]

1060 3 does not

[robust trail]

You're not limited by video card horsepower for multi display, you're limited by display outputs.

[cold skiff]

1060 3gb is 120w. If ya not putting a power cable in that then ya a gimp

https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/geforce-gtx-1060-3-gb.c2867 takes 6 pin. As I said 120w

[robust trail]

what kind of display interfaces are required?

[rose sorrel]

Does a single DP on it

[robust trail]

You said they need multiple displays

[proper gull]

There are some 1050 tis without pcie power

[robust trail]

What kind of display interfaces are required for the displays

DP, miniDP, HDMI, DSUB, RCA?

[rose sorrel]

What I can tell this not have one

[rose sorrel]

Prob hdmi

[robust trail]

and not playing 3D games?

[rose sorrel]

Could it be that he is use DP to hdmi adapter ?

[rose sorrel]

Yeah

[empty quartz]

Kinda looks like my Hell dimension

[robust trail]

Yeah they are or yeah they aren't

[proper gull]

There is very clearly a pcie power connector in the corner

[proper gull]

@rose sorrel

[rose sorrel]

Ok

[robust trail]

if you need two HDMI and aren't playing 3D games i would get the cheapest possible card you can get that doesn't require PCIE Aux

like a GT700 series, Radeon 6750 or something

[rose sorrel]

I found him a 750 it for $20

[empty quartz]

5090 or nothing /j

[robust trail]

a gt750?

[proper gull]

Got any photos of it? Not all of them were slot power

[rose sorrel]

Gtx 750it

[cosmic lance]

it

Gtx 750it

[rose sorrel]

Nvm it does I I can read

[robust trail]

sounds like a shit show. Just use one display for now to get them running and keep an eye out for later

dual display is luxury, not required

[empty quartz]

Mrrp

[robust trail]

If I can work for a year with a single display anyone can causally use a computer with one 🙂

don't get me wrong having two is pretty damn nice.

[rose sorrel]

I asked to pic of psu I think it has molex so he can molex to pice if has too

[proper gull]

Yeah no do not

Just find whatever card you can without pcie power

[robust trail]

I personally wouldn't molex to PCIe unless the card is 125w

You can pull 125w from the motherboard but companies are too chicken shit to do it in the video card world

[proper gull]

mark please stop talking

[robust trail]

I designed and built high speed storage for a living 😉 I know what PCIe power can do from the board 😄

[empty quartz]

The only things that can supply more than the ratings are pcie 6+2

[robust trail]

Go go honeybadger!

[rose sorrel]

The 750 it I sent plus 70 watts to molex to pice would be fine

[proper gull]

No.

[robust trail]

what kind of wattage is that board?

[proper gull]

Do not even think about using a molex adapter

Do not even think about buying a molex adapter

[rose sorrel]

Idk I am not there

[proper gull]

You do not need a powerful GPU to run a Pokemon card game.

[rose sorrel]

How about a sata to pcie if they make one

[proper gull]

a gt730 would do it

[empty quartz]

Atp just get an rog ally or smt

[proper gull]

Fuck. No.

[robust trail]

750ti is under 100 watts?

[proper gull]

Do not adapt anything to anything else on a PSU

If you want pcie power, get a PSU with pcie power

[robust trail]

I don't know. That's a bit of a stretch. Molex is rated for 75 watts. If it is a 6 pin you're totally fine.

but don't do 8 pin

We used to use moxel to pcie aux quite a bit back in the day

[empty quartz]

Times have changed

[robust trail]

err molex*

[robust trail]

Yeah, and the 750ti is ancient

[steel umbra]

there are failure points where it could go bad

[proper gull]

Don't even continue that sentence.

[robust trail]

My suggestion is a GT750

[rose sorrel]

[steel umbra]

[empty quartz]

The ally is far better than literally everything being recommended rn, and you can get them for cheap

[robust trail]

[proper gull]

People do stupid things all the time... It doesn't mean you should do it

[robust trail]

[proper gull]

Not for $20

[empty quartz]

Idek the budget i just woke up

[proper gull]

If I could reach through the screen I'd slap both of you rn

[robust trail]

Just look for anything with two HDMI. Ignore GTX and all those fancy names.

[rose sorrel]

$50 is budget

[robust trail]

GTX == sweatpants and hotpockets

Id recommend upgrading the memory and storage, but should be fine

[proper gull]

Maybe if you're either running a very light server or hate your players

[steel umbra]

@proper gull by 40, 50 series i meant xx40 and xx50

So basically the iGPU in a card

[empty quartz]

@steel umbra wanna know something funny about alot of people where i live

[winter lantern]

Anything that isnt the ultra or pro max im assuming?

[steel umbra]

no

ahahhaha

[empty quartz]

People come in to the store, and ask for a 17 pro max (which is perfectly normal), and then when they see the $1750 cad price tag they ask about fucking financing

Financing a phone is fucking stupid

[steel umbra]

almost 2k for a phone even if cad is kinda stupid

wear and tear

[proper gull]

Nothing wrong with a bit of interest free financing

[steel umbra]

oh yeah interest free is basicly free money

banks do be like doing there free 2k loans

[winter lantern]

A whole pc for ts

[steel umbra]

considering inflation you get like 100 for "free"

[proper gull]

Banks? It's usually your phone provider doing it unless you're weird

[empty quartz]

Until you see what phone they have

Most of these people are wanting to upgrade from a 16 pro max

[steel umbra]

generally just when you need money

[winter lantern]

My phone was 500 so its a midrange 🥀

[empty quartz]

Low end

and? If they financed it for the year, and are trading it in, then it's not bad at all

[empty quartz]

Samsung a series stands for “3 stars ass series”

Probably because they're not exploiting their workers as hard and cutting every possible corner aswell as having impossibly low margins to undercut the market

[brave brook]

not in this regard. any phone launched in 2nd half of 2025 and after is having mandatory 5 years of OS updates AFTER they end the sales of said model. In other words, pretty much every phone model is going to have 6-7 years of updates, at minimum

[empty quartz]

One thing that apples been consistently good about is keeping their devices with 1 processor (not counting the pro series phones from 15 pro and newer

[steel umbra]

very sad and expected to watch surveillance laws almost or passing, breaking consumer's legs bc you buy from china but it's ok that business buys from china and resells it here for 1.4-3x the price

[empty quartz]

Apple has been doing that for ages

[brave brook]

which is an issue for brands like Xiaomi, which kinda exploited the lowend market with 1-2 OS updates at most

[brave brook]

yes, but now everyone has to do it

[empty quartz]

My 6s plus got its last update this year

Ifone 7

[brave brook]

to be honest, from security viewpoint, Apple is worse in this area, even if they get more OS updates

[empty quartz]

How so?

[steel umbra]

western is also cutting corners, haven't you seen pegatron?

Back to 8GB ram laptops

︀︀For 2026, Major laptop manufacturers will have base models start at 8GB ram

︀︀Meanwhile higher end models will focus on having 16GB ram, with 32GB+ models being more limited due to a lack of memory availability

Taiwan is western?

[brave brook]

Safari is hardwired into the OS, and once apple drops a device, it rarely ever gets a browser update. Meanwhile Google usually drops browser and play store after 9-10 years, until then you get updated browser and many system components from the Play Store

[sacred vine]

oh I think it might be time for me to buy a laptop

[thin plover]

ones a Browser the other is a search engine

[sacred vine]

I think I have to do it as soon as possible I didn't think it was gonna get this bad

😭

[steel umbra]

apple uses pegatron and apple is western

[empty quartz]

Safari gets updated through security updates on iphones

The last update an apple device gets (usually after 10 years) is the last safari update

Macbooks are a different story though

[rigid fjord]

my iphone se 2nd gen got updated to 26.1 from 18.6.2

[steel umbra]

if you haven't heard of the safety nets in pegatron

you probably can realize how workers feel working there

[empty quartz]

Lemme guess, beta?

[gleaming rose]

does anyone here pay for proton unlimited

[rigid fjord]

nope

[empty quartz]

Thats fucking weird

[steel umbra]

and pegatron is just one supplier/assembler.

you have many more

[brave brook]

Play Store and Play services are still supported for Android 6, which is from fall 2015.

[steel umbra]

it is wrong to say the chinese are cutting corners on workforce without mentioning western doing just as bad

[empty quartz]

I can still easily use the app store on my 6s plus and 7 plus

[brave brook]

sure, i can open app store on my ipod touch 4th gen too with iOS 6. Just can't install anything, because nothing supports such old iOS 😄

[brave brook]

(the point is that browser is not tied to the OS in Android, thus until it gets play store updates, it gets new browser versions)

[empty quartz]

Anywho

I still gotta fix my iphone 2g

(1st gen iPhone for the uninformed)

[random gyro]

sup

[empty quartz]

Its not easy to get parts though. Who would’ve guessed a 18 year old phone would be hard to get oem parts for

[random gyro]

the only 8gb ram machine i have is my m1 air, and it words wonderfully. but for windows laptops that must suck\

[rigid fjord]

1st gen apple iphone, but not actually 1st gen iphone

[random gyro]

people who don't know live under a rock

[random gyro]

there wasn't an iphone before the 2g

you can't count the itunes one

[mortal mantle]

how does one driver update install this much crap

[rigid fjord]

there was, made by cisco

[random gyro]

are you talking about the itunes one

[mortal mantle]

1 from Realtek 2 from ASUS

[rigid fjord]

nope, this was a phone called the iphone, it had internet access and was made before apple had the name

[empty quartz]

2 from realtek*

[random gyro]

picture?

[mortal mantle]

are you counting the actual driver?

[empty quartz]

The realtek audio console is actually really useful

[gleaming rose]

ok so I could get a new fancy larger camera bag or I could upgrade and tune my car
which do I do

[mortal mantle]

is it?

[empty quartz]

If you’re a headphone user, you can actually do some adjustments to the integrated headphone amp

[rigid fjord]

this was released in 1998, way before apple came up with their iphone @random gyro

[mortal mantle]

it thinks the speaker is muted

when it clearly isn't

[rigid fjord]

go into device advanced settings first

[random gyro]

iphone is this

https://tenor.com/view/apple-apple-iphone-apple-iphone-17-iphone-iphone-17-gif-412176859808506284

thats iphone lmao

[rigid fjord]

and have it set as this @mortal mantle

[rigid fjord]

actually no, apple had to buy the trademark name from cisco

the first iphone is by cisco/linksys

[mortal mantle]

so like this

[rigid fjord]

yup

you don't want it combining audio channels

[empty quartz]

I personally just use optical for speakers

Less headache

[mortal mantle]

how the fuck is this the only thing that sees the fact I actually have headphones connected

[rigid fjord]

get rid of sonic studio, it's useless garbage

also this is the headphones

[mortal mantle]

likely isn't

[rigid fjord]

dude, it is, but you don't have the headphones defaulted in windows

[rigid fjord]

the phillips one is bluetooth/usb?

[mortal mantle]

^

[rigid fjord]

is it set as default in windows for anything?

realtek control panel deals with what's physicially plugged into the mobo's audio ports

[mortal mantle]

is it?

[rigid fjord]

yes, it's turd dressed up

[mortal mantle]

it is set as default for both input and output

[mortal mantle]

why did a driver update even install it

[latent tundra]

I have returned

[rigid fjord]

not a driver update to do this, this is an update via armoury crate

i have both sonic studio and the nahmic drivers removed due to how crap they are

[latent tundra]

are we shitting on armory crate or audio driver stuff

[rigid fjord]

both essentially

[mortal mantle]

also did the fact they did get installed mean the driver that I did have installed was older

[latent tundra]

because they still lock some new drivers behind armory crate

[latent tundra]

new AMD drivers for Z1X already out since November and ASUS havent released it to the website

[mortal mantle]

it also installed sonic radar (whatever the fuck that is)

[latent tundra]

they're still stuck to Armory Crate which I'm trying to not use

[rigid fjord]

runs with sonic studio and is part of the nahmic software for nahmic drivers, you gotta remove 'em

[latent tundra]

after the recent exploit

[mortal mantle]

does AMD's Adrenalin Settings also show the older driver

[rigid fjord]

adrenalin is for gpu only tbh

[bronze summit]

Hey rauko

[rigid fjord]

sup

i may have killed the psu for my ender 3

[bronze summit]

Other than coping about getting terminated for "not meeting expectations" I'm fine

Just got done working on the AIO and shit

Not showing any pics because its a mess

[latent tundra]

Adrenalin works on Z1X, but they dont give driver update option

[rigid fjord]

it only works on it due to the igpu, which tbh is a 780m

[bronze summit]

The 207 is a "Wonderful" Case

But the problem is, it has a terrible back

[rigid fjord]

it's also marked as Z1E not Z1X @latent tundra

[latent tundra]

actually it works for the whole Ryzen Z lineup as well

[bronze summit]

I can't cable management under that bullshit

[latent tundra]

well I removed the E on Extreme

I much prefer calling it that way lol

[rigid fjord]

@random gyrohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPhone_(internet_appliance)

[bronze summit]

I once thought about getting an iPhone

But then I remembered I can download APKs

So I didn't

[mortal mantle]

did ASUS remove it?

[latent tundra]

no it's AMD thing

[mortal mantle]

even with AMD's driver (and not the one from ASUS)

[latent tundra]

Ryzen Z graphics driver depends on vendor

it is still AMD driver

but also vendor has a say in some ways

which is why you're not going to see drivers for it on AMD website directly

One time cure of Sickle Cell Anemia can cost $2 Million USD though so it’s expensive

[rose sorrel]

I don’t want to use Linux

[mortal mantle]

Linux is better on servers though

[rose sorrel]

Might set up that later but wanted to get this pc setup already has windows on it I didn’t feel like having to pration drive lol

Hellooo i may or may not have a problem with my rgb controls and i cant seem to find a solution anywhere. I just bought it as a configurated PC with the mainboard being a B550 MSI A Pro, the case with the rgb fans is the MSI 320R Airflow and the cpu cooler being the Endorfy spartan Max ARGB. Now here is the Problem, when i first turned on the PC everything was only glowing white in unity, pretty normal, then when i tried to use Mystic Light after installing my drivers and everything i cant seem to control the rgb? after some lil research online someone suggested to delete mystic light and use OpenRGB which sadly only changed the lights of my controller. Does anyone have a solution for everything? the rgb fans are connected to the JRainbow 2 plug on the motherboard

[mortal mantle]

you can

(via ssh)

[rose sorrel]

Mainly going for used for mc server and to burn dvds for jelly fin or plex

[fair dock]

Does anyone know why when I change volume on win11, my games lag for a second?

[rose sorrel]

I am installing Linux now be better for this system anyways since it’s 4th gen Intel
