No, in disk management in booted windows (not the installer)

[brazen mica]

Hold on let me reinstall the SSD that has windows on it

[ocean axle]

I responded to what you wanna see

[ocean axle]

but why?

[left dove]

How d-.. what?

[void bronze]

Can this be classified as ragebait?

[left dove]

why did you remove it in the first place

[brazen mica]

So I could try booting on the original drive

[left dove]

Christmas tech support is gonna fucking suck this year I can already feel it.

[hexed tapir]

Pretend to get in a car accident and be in a coma

[neon vapor]

Yo I been using a 1080p monitor literally my entire computer life, would it be good to go to 1440p?

[hexed tapir]

You could tell them that @verbal prawn mom ran you over on your electric bike

[brazen mica]

I don’t know what to do from here

[verbal prawn]

oh funny story

i had to explain to her last night

which gas nozzle to put in her car

[hexed tapir]

... What

[verbal prawn]

no mom your not putting the one labeled 94 octane into your 1997 toyota camry

[hexed tapir]

You must get your bad eyesight from her

[void bronze]

it goes into the square hole

[hexed tapir]

Id assume Asian mom also pick the cheapest gas?

[verbal prawn]

it's a 1997 toyota camry what octane do you think it takes

[hexed tapir]

87/88

[verbal prawn]

yeah

[void bronze]

could probably run on anything

its a old yoda

I tried to remove spacebar from my very expensive laptop, but I am dumbass and broke fragile plastic contraptions under spacebar key that was holding it
Only metal brackets are left and it wobbles up and down...
Any cheap ways to fix it?

The key itself is okay

[winter lantern]

Do I need to get someone with small hand to get these

The mb is extruded to the same level as them so I cant reach the clip

[hexed tapir]

Child labor is the best

[winter lantern]

So yes?

[hexed tapir]

Can you not remove the top of the case?

[winter lantern]

The clip is on the bottom tho

[left dove]

no its on top lol

[winter lantern]

The nudge is the clip tho

Oh nvm im dumb

[left dove]

those are not clips.

[winter lantern]

I was sitting down so I didnt see it

I never put in a psu before

If I do all this work and it doesn't work still 🥀

[carmine yew]

this 5.5MB download took over 3.5 minutes

come the fuck on fedex, you gotta have more bandwidth than that

[void bronze]

fedex?

[carmine yew]

Fedex, you know, the multi-bajillion dollar shipping company

[void bronze]

downloading from them tho

[carmine yew]

what about it?

to make shipping software work, you have to download stuff from the shipping carrier

4MB nearly 7 fucking minutes.
WHAT THE FUCK

that is just patently fucking boooolsheit

[void bronze]

fedex servers ftw

[hexed tapir]

carrier pigeon method legitimately would be faster

[carmine yew]

for realz

[void bronze]

I think writing the bytes would be faster

[analog whale]

guys is this cpu cooked💔

[tired bear]

why do you think that

[analog whale]

idk a little paste is on the golden thingies

[pulsar obsidian]

Ah yes your system doesnt support directX 12

Meanwhile the GPU is on directX12

[tired bear]

how do you open that?

[carmine yew]

unless it's electrically conductive? nope.

Q-Tip and isopropyl to clean it

[pulsar obsidian]

xbox game bar > settings > gaming features

[tired bear]

ah, never used that

[pulsar obsidian]

idk what directstorage even does

and I wont know until I buy an nvme

[carmine yew]

short short short version:

On high-speed NVME drives, a game / your GPU will copy textures from your SSD to the GPU directly, bypassing the CPU and System RAM

[pulsar obsidian]

ohhh makes sense

I do not want to touch the overclocking this is just the default

[carmine yew]

anything the NVidia App / Afterburner will allow you to do will not harm your GPU

[pulsar obsidian]

Ohhh ok

So its fully safe

im not gonna have this 1650 for much longer anyways

getting an upgrade on boxing day

[carmine yew]

yeah, afterburner and the nvidia app are both limited by your card's bios

so it won't overclock to anything dangerous

[winter lantern]

Whats the 16 pin cable on the psu for

I thought moderm gpus used like 4 8 pins that go into the psu

[warm saddle]

It’s completly ok, I have also mees around cpu

Which screws use for GPU?

[carmine yew]

probably 12VHPWR / 12V 2x6 cable

the modern GPU connection

[winter lantern]

I got a new psu should I see if my 4090 magically works now

[unique olive]

But did you get a bag with random screws instead of the ones you were supposed to get?

[carmine yew]

most cases come with screws in the PCIE Slot Covers already

[warm saddle]

My not

[winter lantern]

Show

[steel umbra]

why did aliexpress lock reviewing to only their app now

[carmine yew]

probably PSU screws

[steel umbra]

oh yeah, you wanna write a review, nah site is lame… use our app that has more telemetry on it

[warm saddle]

No, in the manual, there are not pcie screws

[void bronze]

CCP needs more data

[steel umbra]

everything feels so insasive nowadays from every side

[void bronze]

Welcome to technology

[carmine yew]

probably psu screws

[warm saddle]

Yeah ok

Thx

[carmine yew]

but don't just full send.
If it doesn't thread right, try a different screw

[steel umbra]

make sure you don’t screw into airflow perforations

it has happened to me, not a big deal with most psus if you notice but it’s asking for trouble

[ivory mountain]

"the amd experience"

[void bronze]

they picked that?

[ivory mountain]

yup

if this is the amd experience i dont want it

[brazen valve]

yo i was working on this the other day, curious to see if anyone has any thoughts/feedback

https://github.com/abhiramasonny/jaithon

[buoyant bridge]

is the shaking a lot of thermalright fans start doing at the 1-2 years old mark just fan failure?

I've had another set of 3 all from the same pack start doing it and im starting to wonder if I have them installed wrong

[unkempt cosmos]

should i upgrade to 25H2

[daring scaffold]

Nice little budget build. 7700K, 1070TI, 16GB RAM, 240GB SSD

[buoyant bridge]

it provides very little new features and has the same lifespan as 24H2 use that to make ur decision

[teal sinew]

clean retro build

[urban surge]

Im tryna recomand a prebuilt pc website to a friend and i really only know two do yall know any good ones hes only ever played on a xbox and has never owned a pc

[buoyant bridge]

its only like 8 years old

[unkempt cosmos]

ah oke thanks

[daring scaffold]

Cost $150 to build, not bad for e sport titles and such. Used Rufus to install Windows 11 on it, and runs great. Under 45 C on the CPU at 100% load

[buoyant bridge]

go to best buy, buy whatever they recommend, ignore everything else, never be less happy

[urban surge]

i even know best buy is awful

[buoyant bridge]

they're better than litterally every store most US states have and most countries have avilable to them and offer a stupidly cheap extended warranty and will often fix stuff on site.

[steel umbra]

bestbuy falling off after gpu crisis

it feels

[buoyant bridge]

microcenter is better if you know about PCs

bestbuy is better if you dont know about PCs

because you can pay them $20 a year to do all the knowing for you and get a warranty for as long as you want a sub $2K pc

[carmine yew]

360mm aio on a 7700k?

[steel umbra]

“free” ssd

mine

[daring scaffold]

$10, only came for the mounting for this motherboard

[buoyant bridge]

the free cacheless SSDs was microcenter

[carmine yew]

fair nuff

[steel umbra]

inland

[buoyant bridge]

yeah microcenter did that

[daring scaffold]

And Tbf it looks quite nice, fills out the case quite a bit

[buoyant bridge]

bestbuy only ever gave out free 980 evos with $2K+ PCs iirc

[steel umbra]

finland

microcenter promoting finland

ajajajajaj

[buoyant bridge]

bestbuy didn't discontinue the 4TB WD red with free installation deal till like 2024 lol

they where giving you a large ass free HDD on PCs over $1.2K if you just asked and they'd put it in for free

idk why it was the WD red from like 2017-2024 but yeah

[steel umbra]

i mean, that’s like a 10% discount

[buoyant bridge]

a 4tb WD red was like $600 when they started doing that promo deal

they where like $150 at the end of it

[steel umbra]

i guess in 2017 sounds good

in 2024 sounds like a 10-15% discount

[buoyant bridge]

and then in late 2024 they did free 1TB 980 evos on PCs over $2K

[steel umbra]

how many gb

[buoyant bridge]

1TB

the catch was they kept the stock SSD from the computer

it could actually be used to get a really good deal on the SYOP PCs offered at some locations

[steel umbra]

980 evos werent that good in the first place

[buoyant bridge]

build a SYOP PC with a 128GB NVMe, take it back to the store the next day, get a decent free 1TB SSD put in

[steel umbra]

in 2024? uhh 5-7% discount

considering they take your ssd that’s like 4%

[buoyant bridge]

people where mainly using it to build SYOP stuff with that promo deal they did on the 4090 when it was at the end of its life to get a build that would realistically cost about $2500 for $2K

[steel umbra]

that 4tb hdd was cooler in 2017

[buoyant bridge]

I wish best buy would roll out geek squad's SYOP PCs in more than like 30 locations

thats actually one of the best deals bestbuy gives rn

SYOP = Select your own parts

[steel umbra]

slop

[buoyant bridge]

its always MSI stuff

last I checked they only offer MSI boards and GPUs

still theres no build fee you litterally just pay the same price as on the shelf parts thats why its so cool.

they dont make you buy a high end board like microcenter does and they build it in store like microcenter

• offered at more locations than microcenters exist

[steel umbra]

i’d prefer cheaper parts personally

but other prefer prebuilds or no assembly required

[buoyant bridge]

wat

RAM prices went up because all the companies are switching to DDR5 rn and more DDR5 server ram is needed rn

also for political reasons mainly one of the bigger memory companies left consumer memory

ur not the owner of sk hynix dawg

also if you own any stock in sk hynix at ALL they litterally do not care one bit about consumers.

the only memory company that cared about consumers is gone now. they left at the same time as all the other companies cut down consumer memory production

samsung's been rumored to also be shifting away from SSD memory to make more server RAM

do u speak english

https://investors.micron.com/news-releases/news-release-details/micron-announces-exit-crucial-consumer-business

micron/crucial left.

[void bronze]

wtf

[buoyant bridge]

sk hynix never even sold consumer memory first party except for a few SSDs

[ivory mountain]

peak era

[buoyant bridge]

like the actual sk hynix ram sticks are a branding deal with a few companies to sell HP/Dell P/Ns as consumer ram

what is apcb?

you mean AdvancedPCB?

idk what rainbow people you speak of

[sage ocean]

what means qlc list for nvme ssd?

[buoyant bridge]

you mean qvl?

qlc is a memory technology

[sage ocean]

like qlc slc

[buoyant bridge]

yeah those are memory technologies

[sage ocean]

and how theres this list of bad ssds

[buoyant bridge]

its the type of chip

[buoyant bridge]

its older memory tech

QLC is slower and less durable
TLC is faster and more durable

but QLC holds more per chip esentially (simple explaniation)

[void bronze]

man unfunny troll moment

[buoyant bridge]

mods halp

[bronze summit]

<@&750150305383186585>

[buoyant bridge]

do you mean hippie

[midnight wind]

i missed something

[rigid fjord]

qlc is faster but less durable, not slower, tlc is slightly slower than qlc but is more durable,

[rigid fjord]

rather than being bad per say, it's more due to lower endurance as it writes more bits to it more so resulting in more wear and tear on the nand

slc = 1 bit
mlc = 2 bit
tlc = 3 bit
qlc = 4 bit
plc = 5 bit

[plain cypress]

Oh TC1 is having a moment huh

[plain cypress]

(this is all correct, but I just want to add that Samsung used X-bit MLC to advertise MLC and TLC at one point)

[buoyant bridge]

jfc my fan is DEFO dying

[rigid fjord]

tbf, mlc in it's namesake could cover any nand type doing 2 or more bits

[plain cypress]

Yes it's not a lie or anything

[buoyant bridge]

when it ramps up from my PC rebooting my whole desk (which is mounted to the wall btw) to shake heavily

[plain cypress]

It's just a different way to describe the nand than the industry norms

TLC is 3 bit MLC

[rigid fjord]

true dude

wonder what the endurance on a plc nand ssd would be like

[plain cypress]

Uhhhh

Actually I don't care because I can't link anandtech articles anymore

[rigid fjord]

the site gone dead?

[buoyant bridge]

gemini is the only AI I've used AT ALL

[void bronze]

gemini lol

[plain cypress]

No longer online

[sage ocean]

is there a list for gen5? is gen5 even worth it?

[rigid fjord]

skynet knows, skynet remembers

[plain cypress]

I have a copy downloaded from archive.org but I'm not sure how complete it is

[buoyant bridge]

I tested its ability to identify vehicles and its litterally the only one that knows small diffrences

[plain cypress]

Also means I can't search and link it from my phone

And searching archive.org is slow

[rigid fjord]

there's a list of ssd's. and no, gen 5 isn't worth it

[plain cypress]

Anandtech article urls redirect to toms hardware

[buoyant bridge]

it can correctly identify litterally any GMT800 I threw at it which is TERRIFYING because I can't and thats the vehicle I've owned the most of and worked on the most of, AND the only truck I've ever torn down to bare chassis before

[sage ocean]

oh?

[rose stream]

And eventually, this will stem to all the rest that are not something dedicated only. Lol.

[sage ocean]

I was seeing the listings advertised as over 14,000 MB/s speed

[buoyant bridge]

okay but can your CPU actually take advantage of that

[plain cypress]

My bad they seem to still redirect to anandtech forums

[sage ocean]

i would hope it can

[buoyant bridge]

my new CPU can't with a SSD I've had for nearly 2 years now.

[rigid fjord]

yeah, you'd need a really specific use case to go use a gen 5 ssd

[sage ocean]

wouldnt things load faster?

[buoyant bridge]

I have a 56 core server CPU and it can't take advantage of my SSD

[sage ocean]

msfs loads slow as hell even on x3d chips with a gen4 nvme

[silent star]

Yall think I could sell used 64gb ddr4 for a gpu 😭

[rigid fjord]

rather than the cpu making use of it, it's more the programs being able to

[buoyant bridge]

mabye

[silent star]

maybe

…in 2026

[rose stream]

Mmmmmmm depends.

[silent star]

I hope the ai bubble bursts

[buoyant bridge]

my old CPU couldn't actually speed test the full speeds my SSD was rated for (and capable of via testing it on a EPYC)

[silent star]

I wouldn’t sell it anyways i aint no scalper

[buoyant bridge]

i9 12900KF btw.

[rigid fjord]

no, it wouldn't, especially for msfs

[sage ocean]

whys it take so long to load

[rigid fjord]

check your ram

[rose stream]

It's deflating slowly while being actively pumped to try and keep it from deflating or bursting too soon.

[sage ocean]

64gb

[rigid fjord]

that could test any ssd, something else is your issue there

[sage ocean]

im upgrading from 3200 to 6000 though

[buoyant bridge]

the Xeon W9 i have now can use the full speed of my SSD but most programs can't and my 384GB of DDR5 isnt realistically enough to use it in most cases afaik.

[rose stream]

And even afterwards, the aftermath will leave everything a mess and the market will not be stable for a while even then.

[buoyant bridge]

it hits 13000-14000 on the EPYC and W9, only hits around 11000 on the i9

[rigid fjord]

not so much the capacity, it's the speed and latency, also what's the exact cpu?

[buoyant bridge]

I have been consuming ibuprofen

[silent star]

Cl34 ddr4?

[buoyant bridge]

mmmmhmm yummy stomach ulcers

[sage ocean]

@silent star yes

[rigid fjord]

unless you're code compiling, 3d rendering, production video editing, then a gen 5 drive is useless

[left dove]

I drank half a gallon of broth and ramen before unconsciousing for three hours

[rigid fjord]

not possible for that latency

[silent star]

I bought used cl16 3200 64gb ddr4

For ca$150 (108 usd)

[buoyant bridge]

I learned that after I bought it, I do actually compile on my desktop again though which has proven to be useful with the gen 5 ssd rarely

[sage ocean]

hold on let me go search from like when i bought it to see the cl

[void bronze]

just use storage as ram

[buoyant bridge]

Windows does that by default

[silent star]

I think you can actually…

[void bronze]

oh wait pagefiles

[buoyant bridge]

yeah

[silent star]

And overflow

[buoyant bridge]

Linux calls it swap which isnt default in a number of distros anymore.

bsd calls it overflow, macos calls it overflow I think

[rigid fjord]

3200 cl14, 3200 cl16, 3200 cl18, 3200 cl20 would be the options for ddr4

[silent star]

Does windows call it swap

[left dove]

No

[void bronze]

sorry i only use winbuntu

[buoyant bridge]

it calsl it pagefile

[silent star]

Linus made a video on it once didn’t he

Mhm

[sage ocean]

will hwinfo64 tell me?

[buoyant bridge]

oh yeah how badly coded is payday 3 this game has managed to make my GPU drivers crash so badly the GPU went into safe mode when I had to use the power button on my PC

[sage ocean]

2x32GB G.Skill Ripjaws V series DDR4-3200

[rose stream]

That tracks if Mac OS calls it the same thing, since it's basically heavily-reworked FreeBSD fused with their old Mac OS kernel.

[rigid fjord]

this is where the speed pays off, but in general you're not beating a sata ssd for OS/gaming

[rigid fjord]

3200 cl16 there

[sage ocean]

is that good or bad

[void bronze]

the lion does not concern himself with petty driver issues

[buoyant bridge]

NVMe's defo have a benifit on windows and gaming but gen4 SSDs are really as far as you'd ever want to go

[midnight wind]

they all call it swap

windows is the odd one out :/

[rigid fjord]

it's actually good

[buoyant bridge]

BSD calls it overflow from what I've seen

[sage ocean]

theyre also SK Hynix dies but idk which specific ones

[buoyant bridge]

its always overflow in Net and Open BSD

[midnight wind]

uh i know freebsd and openbsd call it swap...

[buoyant bridge]

neofetch calls it swap, the OS calls it overflow in OpenBSD

[rigid fjord]

not for OS or games dude, that 0.1s extra speed for loading isn't noticable

[left dove]

Nah fc6 loads faster

[midnight wind]

https://man.openbsd.org/swapon.8
https://man.openbsd.org/swapctl.2
https://man.openbsd.org/fstab

[sage ocean]

okay, so about the ssd cpu thing

[buoyant bridge]

weird.

[sage ocean]

Ryzen 7 5800X3D, 64GB DDR4-3200 CL16, Teamgroup MP44 SLC Gen4 NVME ssd

[buoyant bridge]

mabye its only for some architectures or smth

[rose stream]

I guess only the latency would be noticeable, but also not by that much either.

[sage ocean]

and msfs loads slow af

[buoyant bridge]

I've NEVER used OpenBSD on an x86 system

only a luna88k

[rigid fjord]

this could be more a core related issue

[midnight wind]

pretty sure you're confusing with something because it's always been swap

[sage ocean]

i need more cores?

[midnight wind]

swap isn't overflow memory so it would be weird to call it overflow

[buoyant bridge]

oh fun fact this game's singleplayer isnt real its just a multiplayer server with joins off

[void bronze]

lmao

[buoyant bridge]

gonna speedrun turbid station rq I need currency

[rigid fjord]

it's one of the few games that using a 12c+ cpu with is actually handy

[void bronze]

thats one of the ways of all time

[left dove]

It's just msfs, just like how GTA v loads slow no matter the storage medium

[sage ocean]

so when I upgrade to my 9950x3d itll help?

[buoyant bridge]

I'd say its effective anti piracy but people found out ways to pirate it

[left dove]

Not as much as you think it's going to.

[rigid fjord]

but should be tuned tbh

[buoyant bridge]

I always turn the page file off

[sage ocean]

as long as it makes AN improvement

[midnight wind]

turning pagefile or swap off in 2025 is stupid

[sage ocean]

but also I have some simulation game things that will def love to have more than 8c

[buoyant bridge]

I have 384 GB of ram

[left dove]

By reducing load times by a few seconds maybe lol

[rigid fjord]

it might it might not, you will run into the dual ccd/ccx issue if you use that cpu#

[midnight wind]

it's not just emergency overflow memory

[sage ocean]

didnt amd / windows update fix it?

the scheduler

[left dove]

No lol

[midnight wind]

well what if my malware wants to read and entire 340 GB file in memory without hitting the disk repeatedly :/

[buoyant bridge]

i just use modern anti malware with proper working sandboxing

(windows defender on w11)

[rigid fjord]

nope, as you're dealing with essentially a 7800x3d/9800x3d + 7700x/9700x combined when looking at the 9950x3d

[left dove]

Windef ftw

[rose stream]

Not completely. Hardware limitations can't be fully worked around at times, especially on a general-purpose machine.

[buoyant bridge]

naughty viruses get zip bombed by a fake drive in the sandbox

[midnight wind]

i'll convince you through social engineering not to run my malware installer in the sandbox

[void bronze]

windef can be screwy sometimes

[buoyant bridge]

Defender just automatically runs it in the sandbox.

[sage ocean]

i thought one of the more recent windows updates made major changes to the scheduler also driver/gam emode can be turned on?

[buoyant bridge]

doesnt matter if you even ran it it does it when you download it

[void bronze]

tbf im on pro workstation

[buoyant bridge]

im on enterprise (non LTSC)

[rigid fjord]

we're suppose to get a proper 12c single ccd with x3d cache at some point

[left dove]

All of my muscles are sore and why are my chest bits sore this blows

[void bronze]

i should dual boot windows 7

[buoyant bridge]

you should not

[midnight wind]

i will stay undetected then until it exits the sandbox

[left dove]

It feels like I just had a massive workout

[midnight wind]

once it trusts me...

[buoyant bridge]

if ur gonna give microsoft $5K to sign it so defender trusts it just make actual software atp

[rose stream]

And those ccds will have some new design steps that will greatly improve latency and efficiency between themselves and the I/O die.

[left dove]

[rigid fjord]

game mode essentially disables half the cpu and is more of a shitshow than any use

The plot of Freiren sadly is more realistic than the odds of housing in my area getting any better

[sage ocean]

is this a reputable benchmark brand

[sleek ibex]

[buoyant bridge]

I can kinda

[left dove]

Aren't you my age

[buoyant bridge]

i think

[left dove]

30

[void bronze]

i wanna be 30

[buoyant bridge]

close enough

[south arrow]

I yield no land

[left dove]

You dont

[buoyant bridge]

you're around a decade off

[left dove]

Up or down

[south arrow]

🦖

[left dove]

You can party on mine it's okay

[sage ocean]

now im confused because it appears the 9950x3d isnt terrible despite the reported problems

[latent gull]

I have no land to yield :(

[timber lichen]

i need some advice for my pc

[left dove]

I need more ramen broth

[latent gull]

Add MSG to this and it’s probably close

[buoyant bridge]

up

im older than u

[timber lichen]

i still have windows 10, and i need to upgrade, what will happen if i bypass even with tpm 1.2 and an intel cpu

[left dove]

I request someone take care of me I refuse to adult rn

[buoyant bridge]

if you do a fresh install and TPM 1.2 nothing happens

[timber lichen]

wdym

[buoyant bridge]

it doesnt care for fresh installs

the CPU requirement is soft

[left dove]

Damn girl you looking great for 40

[timber lichen]

so if i bypass, it should be fine

[buoyant bridge]

not quite 40 I said about

[timber lichen]

i dont play games that require tpm 2.0

[buoyant bridge]

you might have a issue with VAC some day since newer vac games use TPM 2.0 now

[left dove]

That, yeah

[latent gull]

Who plays vac games tho

[left dove]

Me

[void bronze]

alot of people

[buoyant bridge]

a lot of steam games use it for startup verification

helldivers does

[timber lichen]

say i upgrade and it doesnt run well, could i just get a new motherboard and cpu and be okay

[left dove]

Garrys mod uses vac

[timber lichen]

does dispatch use VAC

[latent gull]

That’s a name I have heard in 74 years

[left dove]

You'd have to reinstall windows again but it'd fix it

[buoyant bridge]

all source games use VAC

[timber lichen]

as in i would lose all my files

[left dove]

Yes

Learn to back up your shit lol

[left dove]

You're literally a child, hush

[latent gull]

I’m not a zoomer, boomer

[buoyant bridge]

this motherfucker just watched me steal a solar panel and run

[left dove]

Millennial tyvm

[latent gull]

I am a Gen Z but not a zoomer

[left dove]

Aren't you like 16

[latent gull]

…?

Absolutely not. Other polarr might be

[left dove]

Oh right there's 2 of you

My bad

[latent gull]

Yeah, I’m 24 :p

[rose stream]

Why does it feel weird, watching Polar call Peyton a boomer, and Peyton and I are about the same age if I remember right?

[buoyant bridge]

peyton how do u feel about jacket in the payday games

[latent gull]

That’s the mid life crisis setting in

Go buy a corvette

[buoyant bridge]

wayyyy ahead of ya

[left dove]

I haven't played payday since Russian badger got his giant spoon

[rose stream]

I don't really want one though.

[latent gull]

….its probably a c8 ain’t it

[latent gull]

Sorry, I don’t make the rules, that’s just how it goes

[left dove]

I'd rather get a kei truck for my mid life crisis

[south arrow]

https://tenor.com/view/im-in-my-prime-funny-ironic-age-old-gif-11480659

[buoyant bridge]

yes you do

[rose stream]

Actually, I'd rather go with an Emira anyway.

[void bronze]

could be worse

you could be born in the 1990s

[buoyant bridge]

you want a C4 corvette, a acty, and a miata

[left dove]

Aren't you in your 30s

[rose stream]

31, yes.

[buoyant bridge]

you want a square body GMC to haul them around with

[left dove]

Based we're close

[void bronze]

bmw z4

[buoyant bridge]

and you want a snowblower

if you're fun you want a Z28 camaro to put a big motor in and drag race too

[sleek ibex]

/j

[latent gull]

C4 is clean but a c3 stingray >

[left dove]

Nah I just want a kei truck with swappable beds and an electric motorcycle

[buoyant bridge]

I love my C4

[feral stream]

Making a sleeper build

[buoyant bridge]

its my husband's miata's best friend

they blink at each other

[latent gull]

C4 is the last good one, but the older the better

[left dove]

That's violently gay but adorable

[buoyant bridge]

is that a dewalt 1007 or a 998

[latent gull]

Is your husband very tall?

[rose stream]

Yeah no, I want only one car and those are three are not even the last things I'd consider. Rather, they would never even make the list whatsoever. Lmao.

[buoyant bridge]

yes

[feral stream]

I’m honestly not sure just what my Shop teacher gave me to drill out the rivets

[latent gull]

You want a reliant robin don’t you?

[rose stream]

I would rather drive the car, not haul the car.

[void bronze]

i want a pigeon

[latent gull]

Idk why but every Miata owner I’ve known is a very tall lanky man, idk why they choose to drive the smallest car possible

[rose stream]

I live in Florida...

[latent gull]

Put the snowblower engine on your hovercraft for some extra horsepower

[feral stream]

Basically, the plan is to cut that one out to just the motherboard in the back piece and then cut the dell t3400 case out so I can fit that in

[left dove]

TAKE ME TO CHURCH
I'ma die if I don't get my broth
Taking turns
Falling over each way

[rose stream]

Absolutely not and it's not fun when everybody else around here has... Way too many v8 powered things, none of which I'm even into.

[buoyant bridge]

who said we puttin a V8 in it

[rose stream]

I don't have one... Nor do I want one.

[feral stream]

I love church

[rose stream]

Well, I want a hovercar closer to that of Jimmy Neutrons, since that thing can actually fly.

[buoyant bridge]

who said we puttin a V8 in it

[rose stream]

I really don't want a v6 though.

[latent gull]

Santa* cmon ya gotta change it for the holidays

[rose stream]

Let alone a diesel.

[left dove]

God has brunches, Satan has munches

Only one do I want to be a part of

[buoyant bridge]

put a 6.7 octane in it then

[rose stream]

That's still a diesel.

[buoyant bridge]

this one isnt https://www.cummins.com/engines/b67-octane

[left dove]

Nobody understood my joke I'm sad now :(

[rose stream]

I'd rather O-87, thanks.

[rose stream]

Either that or E85.

[latent gull]

Oh, you’re a W16 guy huh? Only the most refined of taste

[sleek ibex]

I used to be woken up at 4am hearing to pray to him everyday

[buoyant bridge]

the 6.7 octane is just cummins gas engine

[buoyant bridge]

I want a 496 in a Z28 however nobody really makes aftermarket stuff for the 496 LSX

[left dove]

"Pray to Muhammad and you can go back to sleep"

[rose stream]

... I prefer v12s and 8-pot boxers, as well as weird new engine designs like the scotch-yolk crank boxers.

[latent gull]

My dads got an old z28 sitting in the garage and I think he’s just got a small block in it

[left dove]

Pls don't crank in your boxers

[buoyant bridge]

all factory Z28s except the few copo ones are small block

[latent gull]

He’s replaced the engine and replaced it with a small block, it’s a 69 z28

[rose stream]

I don't need to.
The planes that fly over head every once in a while probably already do that anyway.

[left dove]

Lmao

[latent gull]

https://tenor.com/view/engine-rotative-mazda-rotative-initial-d-gif-26494409

[buoyant bridge]

oh its the pony camaro

[latent gull]

I too like v12 rotary engines

[buoyant bridge]

yeah those... dont play well with big blocks

[rose stream]

I'm... Indifferent to rotaries.

[latent gull]

Rotary’s are just a cool fuckin piece of technology

[left dove]

Rotaries are kinda hot

Wankels are cooler tho

[buoyant bridge]

GM almost made a corvette with a facotry rotary engine

but scrapped it in favor of electric stuff... in the 1970s

[left dove]

Gross

[latent gull]

That’s the thing I posted isn’t it?

[rose stream]

I like engineering challenges, though as much as I respect all the engineering going into the wankels and rotaries, I just... Don't get much out of them.

[left dove]

No I think wankels are the rotary piston plane engines

[rigid fjord]

in the case of msfs, you could be, though tbf it is a game that's had more preferential treatement from intel

[latent gull]

Yeah this is the gif I posted

[buoyant bridge]

The Corvette 897, VEGA, and Aerovette where all wenkels and GM scrapped them all in favor of its various weird electric projects like a S10 powered by lead acid batteries

[rigid fjord]

[latent gull]

I think Integza has done some really cool videos with different Wankel engines

[rose stream]

Hell, I get more out of the fact an over-engineered aerocar from Dodge (M4S Interceptor) was powered by a 4-pot Mopar and ended up being one of the fastest 4-pot powered cars for a while since then.

[buoyant bridge]

they took american diesel trains for the basic idea, then just got bored and tried all electric

the weird diesel hybird prototypes GM made in the 1980s and late 1970s to get really long ranges via an electric drive train, small battery system, and a small diesel motor are weird too

they all used what are esentially motorcycle engines which made it even weirder.

[latent gull]

Ngl I don’t know much about engines, about anything I do know comes from stuff like integza

[buoyant bridge]

build an LS itll teach you basically all the basics about engines

[rose stream]

And yes, I am in fact bringing up this old thing again.

[buoyant bridge]

I've built an LS drunk before its not a joke when people say that, its actually very very possible.

[latent gull]

Fugly

Reminds me of a cybertruck and not in a good way

[rose stream]

'86 car, over aero-engineered thing that was the fastest 4-pot powered thing at the time, being able to hit 194.8 mph. No other car of that engine class could even claim the same, without being some insanely over the top riced sleeper, all of which actually came later.

[buoyant bridge]

I didnt post my LLY duramax rebuild in the cars channel because there's an embarrasing amount of budwesier in the background

caseys opening up next door to my workshop was a mistake. I can now work on cars WITH easy access to alchol

[rose stream]

Well I like it and it looks many times better than that polygonal dumpster of a ute.

[latent gull]

Quick access to beer and pizza when working on cars? That sounds like a setup for a bad redneck joke

[buoyant bridge]

I bought this lot to open an autoshop then I started focusing on my buisnesses and didn't have enough time to run a solo autoshop anymore. I bought it here because it was across the street from an autozone

and then a year after I actually had the building here finished a caseys started being built next door.

which moved the access to pizza and beer from 1.7 miles away to 120 feet away

[left dove]

Yay Uber to the rescueee

[buoyant bridge]

now I kinda just store stuff at this building which won't fit in the workshop at home or my husband doesn't like me keeping in the workshop... such as a diesel generator I got as military surplus and have yet to fix

[left dove]

Viratamins and melatonin and ramen and Gatorade wheeee

[buoyant bridge]

HELL YEAH

[latent gull]

Speaking of military surplus, wooo I’m going to shoot a rifle tomorrow

[buoyant bridge]

I lowkey might go eat some ramen noodles im hungy and my huzz is asleep and i dont wanna wake him up to ask him to cook rn

[left dove]

This isn't COVID but it sure fucking feels like it

[left dove]

Cheesy ramen with Sriracha yessss

[latent gull]

There’s been a virus going around for like a year that they haven’t been testing for and can’t name :(

[left dove]

Well fuck me if it's that

[buoyant bridge]

is it that one that does the really bad sore throat and back pains and cold sweats?

[left dove]

Mine is just.. I'm tired, and everything is sore, and sometimes I have a sniffle

[latent gull]

Idk, it’s flu/covid symptoms but you test negative for everything. This past spring my whole office was out cause we kept giving it to each other, and it’s going around again here now

[left dove]

Blaaaaaarg

[buoyant bridge]

I know one of the forms of RSV that we had a outbreak of near where I live causes most of the covid symptoms

strands of RSV that infect adults are just very very rare, its one of the few that do.

[left dove]

Time to drink a monster so I can be conscious enough to eat ramen and pass out at an appropriate time

[buoyant bridge]

it takes a very serious illness to actually put me in bed all day 😭

[latent gull]

Idk what it was cause nobody could tell us, but there’s definitely something going around again right now, same symptoms, and testing negative for strep/covid/flu yet again

[buoyant bridge]

idk if its the same thing thats going around in the midwest but in the midwest thats RSV

[latent gull]

I’m in west tn so we’re not super far away, but this is a new thing for us

[buoyant bridge]

the current common strand popped up like 3 months ago here, and a similar one was going around last year

[left dove]

The thigh I regularly stab myself with estrogen in is m e g a sore owwie

[buoyant bridge]

have you been using prep pads?

[left dove]

Duh

[buoyant bridge]

I know a shocking amount of tgirls and diabetics that dont

[left dove]

I always sterilize my injection environment

[latent gull]

My dad doesn’t

[void bronze]

can i make estrogen infused brownies

[left dove]

No

[latent gull]

He’s got the purple needs for diabetes and he just jabs himself when he wakes up

[buoyant bridge]

yes but no

you can but its not very bioavaliable and heat kills around 30% of the bioavaliablity in most esters anyways

[left dove]

I always wipe the counter where I set stuff, my hands, and my thigh with iso alch

[buoyant bridge]

you'd end up with roughly 2/3rd the estrogen asorbed into your body as you do with oral estradiol,

[void bronze]

soup instead

[left dove]

You can get close to 1/2 to oral with doing sublingual

[void bronze]

giggle

[buoyant bridge]

im not scared of injections personally I just havent started HRT yet because its hard to find gender clinics that take tricare andddd my husband and I are both on tricare rn since he's in the military

[left dove]

I did oral estradiol for about a year before my new Dr put me on injections

[buoyant bridge]

which is very intresting since MOST clinics accept tricare since tricare is very very very stable interms of finances for a insurance provider and have a low rate of denials.

[left dove]

Idk dude I just want my brothy goodness :(

[buoyant bridge]

whenever I get back on hrt I'm hoping they just put me on injections again

my last endo did because I have a eating disorder

[left dove]

Yooo me too

Im either getting ssupd meshroom s v2 or formd t1. Depending what the price of both will be (i keep on experimenting my lists in pc part picker)

Both as in, the entire list

[grizzled frost]

formd T1

if you can get your hands on one

[trim mason]

Ofc

Ill still see though, entirely depends on what gpu im getting bcz FE is rare

[carmine yew]

Fe is overrated

[trim mason]

LOL

[grizzled frost]

FE is the best gpu for the T1

[trim mason]

Personally, I love it

Founders edition looks very decent for me

Very sober

[carmine yew]

They're perfectly fine, but overrated

[grizzled frost]

FE is the only 5090 that fits in the T1

[carmine yew]

Good luck

[trim mason]

Yes it is, and that is why if i get to pick a 5090 and an FE isnt available ill pick ssupd

Its unlikely anyways that an FE is available by the time I get the pc

[carmine yew]

Stalk best buy

I agree

[void bronze]

Yes

[simple palm]

I am actually giving up my gateway just because I have been laid off from my current job

So my peak internet usage have been dropped drastically.

I am also transitioning into a new career from Visual Effects to Data Analytics and will eventually step into Deep Learning. ( I might not know what I am actually doing but that's not the point here)

But you see I have 3 workstations with different specs and I still want to do some Fx Simulations stuff in Houdini. Since I have been giving my gateway my ISP will take away their router too.

So I have been thinking if it's possible to buy a router myself and somehow it can connect to the internet from my mobile phone's hotspot? And I can connect my computers from my laptop?

[sonic marlin]

If my monitors bandwidth is limited to 40gbps, does it matter whether I use hdmi or DP?

[formal sonnet]

Depends entirely on the resolution and refresh rate you're trying to drive.
https://linustechtips.com/topic/729232-guide-to-display-cables-adapters-v2/

[sonic marlin]

The hdmi cable I’m using now is rated for 48 gbps and the ports on my gpu are hdmi 2.1b and DP2.1b

What I mean is if bandwidth isn’t the bottleneck, is there a functional difference between hdmi and DP? Other than gsync.

[formal sonnet]

Ah that's a better way to describe it. If the display cable type supports the features you need at the resolution and refresh rate you want, I don't see there being a functional difference.

[sonic marlin]

[trim schooner]

?

[eager mango]

i accidently reformated a external storage drive from mac to windows... can i recover data somehow, it had really important sutf on it

[topaz shale]

any amount of data recovery is possible given enough money and time

is it worth thousands of dollars to you?

[eager mango]

no prob not

preferably free

[topaz shale]

you might want to check out segates data recovery tool if that cant help you, you are probably fucked

you formatted the drive?

[eager mango]

yeah

[topaz shale]

https://www.easeus.com/datarecoverywizardpro/
try this tool if not you may have to escalate to other data recovery

[eager mango]

is it free?

[topaz shale]

theres a free trial

[eager mango]

is it safe and legit?

[topaz shale]

if you dont want to use it then dont

do yo own research

[eager mango]

ok thanks

[still condor]

This is what linus has been preapearing all of us for
Wordle spoilers

[ornate harbor]

Huh

[still condor]

ehh

its close enough

thank you linus

[ornate harbor]

Huh

[still condor]

have you ever watched a ltt video fym huh

[ornate harbor]

yes

[still condor]

preaty much one word in every video is segway

[ornate harbor]

But what has that to do with the wordle

[still condor]

its todays wordle word?

[ornate harbor]

Huh

[still condor]

🥀

[rigid fjord]

segue**

[still condor]

nope

[rigid fjord]

yes

[still condor]

2 different words

ok nvm ty linus

[rigid fjord]

same pronounciation

[still condor]

i love the english language

[rigid fjord]

segue = linking one word/phrase to something else

segway = electric vehicle

[still condor]

i gaslit myself into thinking segway meant smth else

[random gyro]

I was refering to my aio which was thermal take

I just bought the thermalright PA 120

[rigid fjord]

you missed his segue into a segue about segways

[trim schooner]

I'm trading an unopened Ryzen 5 7600X3D for some unopened Corsair 32GB (16X2) RAMS, 6000 mhz 30CL, should I or should I not

[azure topaz]

lmao

[sinful cobalt]

lmao indeed

[real wasp]

chat im having this problem where i try to turn it on and it only shows little life, whats the problem?

[sinful cobalt]

it could be psu

[shy olive]

Jokes aside, do you think i should take it to a technician or whatever to take a look at it? I dont want it to suddenly turn in a bomb and explode in my face while playing cs

[shy olive]

Have you tried taking off ram individually? Idk how this is logical but maybe try

[stark spear]

Bro RAM prices are only getting worse

[lament marsh]

So i have started to get flickering when i turn on my pc, but if i restart the pc its fine again.

What could it possibly be?

My specs are, 9700x, 9070xt 32gb ddr5 paired with a g60sd oled monitor.

[stark spear]

Wdym by fine again

Does it then happen again later or what?

[lament marsh]

Nope, it just stops.

[stark spear]

So it only happened once

[lament marsh]

Thats why its so wierd. I have checked all the cables

[stark spear]

Should be fine then I would say

[azure topaz]

why are you speaking as if it has happened multiple times though

[stark spear]

If the symptoms literally stopped then it should be good

[azure topaz]

but if it only happened once just ignore it

probably AMD drivers auto updating, just ignore it

[lament marsh]

Because it happens everytime i start my pc each day lol

[azure topaz]

so it has not only happened once

[lament marsh]

Nope

[stark spear]

So when you power it on it flickers then once it’s fully booted it’s fine?

If that’s the case I would say it’s probably the monitor being weird when trying to auto detect sources being connected or something

[jaunty apex]

Least someone knows how to spell this

[stark spear]

My monitor connected to my laptop does this quite often when turning on the computer it sometimes flashes on and off a few times on the screen before it stays on

[modern pewter]

Guys

Can yall help me find a bios dump of the asus f1a75-m-dp

I need to change my oem bios to a retail one for the oc features and other shi like that

[stark spear]

Internet, or dump it yourself?

[modern pewter]

.bin file

A 💩 of the bios chip

[jaunty apex]

[lament marsh]

Ill try to explain it again lol

When i first turn on my pc and boots into windows everything flickers, i get those flickering lines aswell ass the colors on the screen flickers. But when i restart using the windows restart button and boot it up again its fine. This happens everyday

[stark spear]

Oh yeah OEM BIOs are ass

[stark spear]

That is odd, have you tried reinstalling the GPU drivers

[lament marsh]

I have updated them but maybe i should do a clean install

[stark spear]

Is this like a new issue

[real wasp]

i have too and also its giving power to my keyboard like my keyboard is lighting up normally and so is the mobo light (just some normal leds)

what would be the suspect

[west matrix]

Im a little confused as I plugged in all of my Thermaltake ARGB fans into the ARGB headers on my mobo but no software recognizes it except signal rgb which causes it to spas out. What do I do?

[ornate harbor]

Yeah

[modern pewter]

And its a decent retail board but with oem bios, i want to find a bios 💩 from a retail one so i can flash that one, even if old ill update it

[royal loom]

What is the car doing Infront of the pc

1:1 car

[random jetty]

Look what stumbled across this morning lol

[ornate harbor]

Thats only the stand

[random jetty]

Why yes but I thought it was funny lmao

[ornate harbor]

What does the card cost

[random jetty]

Well I don’t the official one but when I clicked it said $2.79

[rigid fjord]

if it's not the fish, then it's not worth it

[peak swan]

Bruh
I do the job of so many retail employees
Every time i see a demo computer at a store on the windows setup screen, i always just make a local admin account and then exit oobe
Like I've done ot way too many times at this point lol

[cold skiff]

You’re a hero

[sour storm]

managed to get 16gb of ram used not the best at 5200hz cl40 but better that than nothing

[cold skiff]

That’s rough

[sour storm]

ehhhhh it'll hold untill prices go down

[cold skiff]

Just pay for cl36 or better

16gb is not really worth either tbh

[sour storm]

bait

shame on you

[cold skiff]

Not bait

It’s honesty

[sour storm]

yes bait motherfucker every store here is sold out

[cold skiff]

You should be buying 2x16gb cl36 as a minimum

[cold skiff]

Your problem not mine

[sour storm]

i fell for it.

[teal scaffold]

I ordered a SSD for a customer and the store calls me back on the price changed from x to xy 😭

[sour storm]

x to xy?

xylitol?

[teal scaffold]

To more

I mean its a 500 gb kington sata

[wheat torrent]

Ddr4 and ddr5

[cold skiff]

You did. Ya bought shit ram and gotta live with it. lol.

[teal scaffold]

50$ on website for the SATA SSD to 70$

[wheat torrent]

5200 cl40 has latency of 15.4 ns

[sour storm]

so? i didnt have to sell a kidney for it

[wheat torrent]

Usually you are aiming for 10ns

[cold skiff]

Aye. 12ns /cl36 will do.

[sour storm]

oh well later on then

[cold skiff]

Proper broke people complaining about prices and buying subpar ram though… just the way of the world

[wheat torrent]

Uncalled for

[sour storm]

yeah.....

[cold skiff]

It’s how the world works. Quit complaining and get on with it. Bored of people whining about ram then when told how to do it right they get aggressive. Deal with it. That’s life.

[latent gull]

Who the fuck was whining?

They literally started this by saying “it’s not great but it’s what I was able to get”

[winter lantern]

Just already have ram

[wheat torrent]

In practice you have higher bandwidth than ddr4 but generally because of the latency in some cases it might perform subpar to a good ddr4 kit

[latent gull]

God, I can’t believe all these zoomers didn’t buy houses in 2007, broke people need to stop whining and do it right

[cold skiff]

Ya angrier than that burnt peanut

[wheat torrent]

https://tenor.com/view/burnt-peanut-side-eye-the-burnt-peanut-gif-6339277251445282356

I don't think burntpeanut was angry

[cold skiff]

He’s a funny angry

The other dude is just a sad angry

[daring scaffold]

Meh, it’s a elitist opinion. Anyone who’s actually done tests with different speeds and latencies knows that for most people, the difference is minimal

I have 6 kits of 2x16GB 5200MHZ CL38, the difference is very minimal compared to 6000MHZ CL32

[cold skiff]

Yknow. 16gb is kneecapping a ddr5 system

Minimum, 2x16gb

[wheat torrent]

What

[daring scaffold]

I agree, but as a temporary solution? Not bad for a while, you survive

I don’t blame people for not wanting to spend $200+ on RAM

[wheat torrent]

If you don't use more than 16gb then there is no difference

[shy olive]

The gpu

Keep blaming everything until you find the actual guilty one

[wheat torrent]

Looks like PSU issue

Maybe something shorting maybe something not connected properly

PSU maybe faulty

[candid cairn]

Anyone knows the ram company t force?

[cold skiff]

Define temporary. Prices won’t come down at all for probably 3 years. Sounds more permanent to me to be settling now - before prices inflate more

[blazing moat]

how i know which of these are the rights ones. haviing probelm when my usb it cant recognize the usb or show any usb

[cold skiff]

If ya want ram buy it now before it becomes worse

[latent gull]

My guy it ain’t angry, it’s “this is a dumb argument and your an ass”

[cold skiff]

Name calling. When you know the persons lost an argument. Stay classy.

[latent gull]

Adjective ≠ proper noun

[wheat torrent]

Calling someone broke ain't classy

[wheat torrent]

Why?

I dont think you can really tell them apart unless you connect and disconnect a device and check which one is being used

[latent gull]

Trial and error realistically

[wheat torrent]

You could look at event history and I think it should say which port got used? Not sure

[cold skiff]

Event viewer will show critical and errors

[daring scaffold]

3 years is a far stretch. It will most likely go till late 2026/2027, and further is unlikely. I personally am expecting about a 1.5yr shortage

[daring scaffold]

My stock is increasing 🙂

[cold skiff]

Who knows my friend. Who knows when that bubble will pop. I’m with Lisa Siu, it’s just starting

[daring scaffold]

I follow economists lol, not whims. I’m not going to say it might not be 3yrs, there’s a chance of anything, but it’s unlikely

[latent gull]

I think the ram manufacturers have claimed 1.5 years as their projections, don’t remember where I heard that though

[wheat torrent]

Supply and demand

Demand has to go lower or supply has to go higher

[latent gull]

They’ve also made clear they’re not increasing production cause they don’t want another oversupply like a few years back

So the supply isn’t going up

[wheat torrent]

For supply to go higher it will take a few years

[daring scaffold]

No crap 😂

[latent gull]

It’s not going to, per the manufacturers

[daring scaffold]

About what I was thinking

[stoic nova]

eh you can trace warren buffets portfolio and its still a whim

[wheat torrent]

Didn't they say they are making new factories In 2027-2028

[latent gull]

Even then it wouldn’t help until 2030

[wheat torrent]

What about ddr6 don't they need new factories for that

[daring scaffold]

If Warren buffet got to where he is bc of whims, then he’s the luckiest man on earth 😂

[latent gull]

Don’t they just retool old lines?

[wheat torrent]

Unsure

Its a new form factor after all, camm2

[daring scaffold]

There is a difference between whims and intuition, which comes with experience

[latent gull]

That’s why ddr4 production stopped, they retooled for ddr5, like any factory does when a new standard comes out

[wheat torrent]

But tbh the form factor is just a PCB, the ram chips is what matters

[daring scaffold]

He also now has the money to pretty much invest into whatever he wants lol

[wheat torrent]

I think demand will be at an all time high for a longer period of time

[latent gull]

Hell, ford has backed out of their SK partnership and is retooling all their new factories for gas trucks instead
