[vale lotus]

Yes

Then I checked and it was 12

Also the kit he has is a big similarity to an ifix it kit more than 75% similar and doubled the price

[plain cypress]

I should have gotten the precision bundle for $50 a year ago

[twilit horizon]

Can I just swap the fans of an aio with any other fans?

[proper gull]

Which you said nothing about, quit bullshitting

[vale lotus]

I swear I did

I guess I didn't

But still 12

[twilit horizon]

Any knowers 🤫

[stable beacon]

i have no idea why but i'm pretty sure my games aren't loading because my ram is low and i've already been making sure to disable several background apps

[empty quartz]

Ngl, its funny how bad the rtx 5050 is

[vale lotus]

What kind of ram is it

[empty quartz]

Why are you running an ancient version of windows

[twilit horizon]

Can I just swap the fans of an aio with any other fans?

[vale lotus]

Yes

But that doesn't mean they will be as good

[stable beacon]

windows 11 with a shell mod

[stable beacon]

16gb ddr4 3600

it was totally fine until around yesterday

[vale lotus]

The ram isn't exactly great

[stable beacon]

i'm not 100% sure but what i do know is every time it has to load something big it won't

[stable beacon]

slow is better than not working

[vale lotus]

True

[stable beacon]

plus how do you expect me to upgrade now 💀

[timber lichen]

what can hackers acess on my pc if i have no important files

and i have 2FA on all apps

i just worry about using my old gaming pc for windows 10 for the near future

[stable beacon]

important files is subjective but technically anything

unless you're an important figure you're probably closer to getting a virus or at closest a login info troll

[spring latch]

why is my hdd so fuckin fast it finiashed the first windows install portion in 5 minutes

[timber lichen]

should i worry about staying on windows 10

[stable beacon]

on an hdd?

[spring latch]

yes

[timber lichen]

im overly cautious with fake websites, and fake links

[spring latch]

i mean it has 64MB of cache but its from 2017 so who knows

[stable beacon]

well i'm a total dumbass and i haven't run into anything

[twilit horizon]

Oh

But what if the fans dont match my case fans 💔

[spring latch]

I havent gotten malware unintentionally since 2021

[stable beacon]

depends on aesthetic they'll be fine if they spin properly and are the right mount size

[stable beacon]

nothing to worry about then

[timber lichen]

i have had this computer since the ripe age of 7 years old i believe, and only gotten fake malware and nearly put my info into a fake mcaffee

[vale lotus]

Hackers can access anything if skilled enough but if it's not very important stuff on your pc all you have to worry about is annoying changes they can make to how you have to use it or taking it over completely

[spring latch]

yeah

[vale lotus]

Get to some outside space and follow some spray paint tutorial

[spring latch]

tbh this sounds like it would be fun

[twilit horizon]

How much will it hurt my temps though

[stable beacon]

btw i found my painted gpu shroud i ended up never using and i had to get a new shroud because i lost it and the fans 💀

[stable beacon]

if the physical size is the same you're fine and even then the overall goal is uniform airflow, you can in fact get enough turbulence with too many fans to make it worse

[timber lichen]

my first step of action to stop hackers from taking my stuff so far is deleting my saved passwords in pc and writing them down in a notebook

[spring latch]

every time i do some random task I act so conservative because im so used to being stuck with Intel UHD 600 and intel celeron, yet now that I have an i5-7400, 16GB DDR4-2400 and RX 580 i have much more headroom to do my shit4

[buoyant bridge]

You'll usually need a 2 pin fan

[stable beacon]

also, i tested my cpu right now and it tj'd for the first time in years so i might have to steal my nh-d15 i put as a "spare" in my lga 2011 system

[spring latch]

good idea but what happens if you lose the notebook 🤔

[buoyant bridge]

or a 2 pin to 3/4 pin adapter
PSU fans are very rarely 3/4 pin

[vale lotus]

Honestly most hackers don't care about some random pc playing games mainly businesses and bigger more important machines

Or just old people's credit card info

[buoyant bridge]

I just use a mini drill press that a power drill chucks into

[timber lichen]

great point

[spring latch]

you'd be pretty suprised

[stable beacon]

and canadian men running around the house naked at night

[vale lotus]

Lol

[timber lichen]

im using a free antivirus but its promoted by a few good tech wizards, unsponsored

[buoyant bridge]

As a "hacker" this is a deterrent

[vale lotus]

Sure it may happen some but very uncommon compared to other things

[spring latch]

get a tattoo on your chest and now its only an issue in the pool or while doing other activities if you understand what i mean/

but whos memorizing tattoos of passwords its just random characters

[stable beacon]

i'm talking about when ltt channel got hacked in 2022 i think

[void bronze]

WINDOWS 11 enterprise ltsc my beloved <3

[timber lichen]

they can take a photo of it

what if i change my password though

[spring latch]

who the fuck is using their phone inside the pool

[void bronze]

who the fuck is taking photos of people ina pool

[spring latch]

get a shirt that has them on the inside so u have to turn it inside out to get your passwords

its just a new shirt away and not lazer surgery

[void bronze]

or just bitwarden

[timber lichen]

people who arent in the pool

[void bronze]

or any other password manager and dont install shady links and its ez

[spring latch]

they said not digital

[void bronze]

common sense will do you wonders

[spring latch]

fuck windows 11

Windows 10 IoT LTSC 2021 (or LTSC 2019)

[void bronze]

its the version without co pilot

[timber lichen]

god gave me a big brain for a reason

[spring latch]

Windows 10 IoT LTSC 2021 (or LTSC 2019)

[void bronze]

why would i use a fucking version of windows from 2019

[spring latch]

because its LTSC

and its supported until 2029

[void bronze]

windows 10 is literally just 11

[spring latch]

with a worse ui

[void bronze]

kid named windhawk

[spring latch]

infact a slower UI at that

[twilit horizon]

Oh so it can kinda benefit from same fans

[spring latch]

and regardless Windows 11 as a whole just doesnt feel good

[void bronze]

pc issue

:3

[spring latch]

well its not my fault im poor :I

and i mean this literally, its not laziness, its more of an internal problem assosiated with the us government

[void bronze]

invest in plantir

[stable beacon]

i don't get where this is coming from anyway i'm just copying what i remember

[spring latch]

im 13 anyways

i should be more specific and be more like its my family thats poor

[stable beacon]

i disabled xmp now it's see if that makes a difference

[void bronze]

make sure you go on r/wallstreetbets once you are 18 /s

[spring latch]

investing unless done smart is a waste. If you know how to invest properly it can be great

just dont sell when it tanks, and if it gets so high it seems like it could drop then sell and dont risk

[stable beacon]

disabling xmp didnt do it either apparently

[twilit horizon]

Buy high sell low 🙏

[stable beacon]

i still think it has something to do with ram but specifically capacity idk what bloat apps i need to disable

[buoyant bridge]

did they post naked Canadians or something

the concept of a naked Canadian terrifies me because y'all are actually horrific with what you do when you're pissed off and I don't think I'm permitted to see that

[buoyant bridge]

new PC hardware isn't gonna be able to run 10 especially on the AMD pro side

[void bronze]

final boss

[buoyant bridge]

AMD already intentionally prevents you from running anything but windows 11 GAC on OOBM ready laptops so

[spring latch]

well i dont have modern hardware

[buoyant bridge]

you'll upgrade some day

[stable beacon]

i used it up until the eol date then i just installed like 400 scripts to get rid of all the dumb features and now it feels just the same

[void bronze]

IM TRYING to sneak past the robbers, but the clap of my dummy thicc cheeks

[buoyant bridge]

I just use regular windows 11 enterprise

it works. It doesn't bug out on me
99% of the things people complain about have either never happened for me or I don't notice

"the file explorer is slow" HOW I've only seen it be slow with samba shared but 10 is too, windows has always been slow with samba

[stable beacon]

but guys do you have any clue why my games are just crashing because why not

[buoyant bridge]

AMD GPU?

[stable beacon]

yeah why

[buoyant bridge]

Wouldn't you like to know how I guessed that one

[stable beacon]

it's never happened before

[buoyant bridge]

AMD randomly breaks their GPU drivers because they enjoy making their users suffer

[spring latch]

or ill just use linux until i need to upgrade desktop hardware for that but I use an i5-7400 and an RX 580

[buoyant bridge]

(they don't test them before releasing anymore is what it feels like)

[stable beacon]

the fps was always a little slow but it's a 6600 xt the best i could get then

[spring latch]

and nvidia doesnt care about consumers

[buoyant bridge]

shoo go away before I get the squirt bottle bad Linux user

[buoyant bridge]

AMD is regularly hostile to consumers

they essentially ruined the possibility of there being a used market with AMD Ryzen pro laptops

[stable beacon]

well hopefully

[buoyant bridge]

OOBM is setup via a efuse so you can't disable it once it's setup which essentially prevents Buisness laptops from ever being resold if they have an AMD CPU since Ryzen AI first gen

[spring latch]

holy hell what if your problem with linux

[buoyant bridge]

Nothing im a fedora user

[spring latch]

then why are you being so hostile

[buoyant bridge]

I don't like randomly bringing Linux into a conversation about windows

[spring latch]

bruh

[buoyant bridge]

like yeah you can switch to Linux but I know like 90% of people who actually say that and haven't already done it won't ever do it

[stable beacon]

i technically have dual boot ubuntu but i haven't used it once since 2022

[buoyant bridge]

I use fedora and solus everywhere but my gaming PC

oh and I use windows server because Hyper-V is too good to give up on

[void bronze]

i just switched back to windows from linux

[buoyant bridge]

^most users won't switch to Linux permanently

[void bronze]

i like everything working without command line

[buoyant bridge]

this is why most users won't switch to Linux permanently

command line is scary or inconvenient to most people

[stable beacon]

...and the drivers didn't solve shit

[buoyant bridge]

AMD GPU moment

[stable beacon]

is there a log or something that could explain why my games are crashing

[void bronze]

imagine nvidia wins gpu crisis by doing nothing

[buoyant bridge]

The GPU is either dying or the drivers don't like your PC

[void bronze]

amd implodes by itself

[buoyant bridge]

They already did

AMD is losing market share again

[void bronze]

or just be intel arc and have noone talk about you

[plain cypress]

Hi

[buoyant bridge]

A lot of Linux users use arc they just don't exist in non super Linux specific communities

[plain cypress]

We love Intel arc

[buoyant bridge]

we do love arc

I literally do not care if arc is on paper the worst choice competition is good

I'm considering buying an arc GPU just to give Intel my money and engage in an awesome thing known as society by not turning off error reporting so Intel can improve

[void bronze]

/s capitalist pigs

[spring latch]

I have an RX 580 so i get to have stable 2023 drivers

[plain cypress]

My arcs are sitting on a shelf for now

[buoyant bridge]

All companies are capitalist and suck I will just support the company that hasn't actively fucking upset me with its policies

[void bronze]

tbf 580s are like

old?

[spring latch]

ye

[stable beacon]

so far i'm stuck with just singleplayer but i know that's not the case because sometimes it would crash on startup

[buoyant bridge]

They're also extremely stable

[spring latch]

from 2017, but they got active updates until 2023, which is funny

[buoyant bridge]

AMD still makes 570 dies for servers

Inspur uses the RX 570/560 as their in built GPU

[void bronze]

i miss amd vega

[spring latch]

NVIDIA actually supported the kepler GT 700 series (probably not through drivers after a certain point) until September 2024

[void bronze]

GT 710 MY BELOVED RIDES ON

[spring latch]

I have a kepler 730 that is dead

[buoyant bridge]

And matrox supported the G200 for over 20 years

the G200s all got a basic WDDM driver till 2023

[spring latch]

the ATI Mobility Radeon X300 was cool, not because of support, but Windows Vista came with native WDDM Aero drivers, and Windows 7 had them avalible

which is fair, the mobile X300 was a powerful mobile card

[buoyant bridge]

They did quite literally everything a server video adapter needed and did it with essentially no power draw at an extremely low cost and it's a PCI GPU so it uses a link your x86-64 server HAS to have but you'd never actually use

did y'all know all X86 systems have at least one PCI link regardless of a slot is present or if it's even used

[spring latch]

no but it makes sense, SATA is connected through PCI

[buoyant bridge]

Intel just wrote a requirement for a PCI link to be available to remain X86 complaint

[spring latch]

though its either exposed thru ACPI or PCI depending on the controller

[buoyant bridge]

doesn't have to be connected it just has to be present

UEFI class 3 systems can't actually use it though

[spring latch]

until SATA doesnt exist anymore, PCI will still exist as a whole

[spring latch]

theres a CLASS FOUR NOW?

[buoyant bridge]

mhm

[spring latch]

WHAT THE FUCK

[buoyant bridge]

it's incapable of bios boot

[spring latch]

well so is class 3

[buoyant bridge]

Class 3*

How the fuck did I get auto corrected to 4

[spring latch]

OH

LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOO

[buoyant bridge]

4 is proposed though but it's not finalized

[spring latch]

well yeah i knew class 3 removed CSM

[buoyant bridge]

class 3+ technically is incapable of using PCI for anything

and windows 11 on new PCs requires class 3+ (which isn't even an actual spec it's a weird spec Microsoft made up)

[spring latch]

some manufaturers switched to it mid run, the Dell Wyse 3040 with a pre-1.2.2 dell BIOS has CSM, but 1.2.3+ is Class 3

im using the wyse as an example cuz i had that

though thankfully projects like CSMWrap exist now (even if not so stable)

[buoyant bridge]

Intel started building in a CSM wrapper which is funny

"oh yeah we killed your ability to boot csm here's a new way"

[spring latch]

i assume they scrapped it or smth

[buoyant bridge]

no they just only have it on vpro stuff

my old desktop board can do it but only with a vpro CPU installed

[spring latch]

huh only good thing intels ever done in the past 5 years?

idek what timeframe

[buoyant bridge]

they contribue to Linux like

All the fucking time since the beginning of them knowing what Linux is
Also they have sub divisions of all their main software departments dedicated to Linux

[trim mason]

guys with a 5090 should i get 9800x3d or 7800x3d?

[plain cypress]

If you're spending 5090 money just get 9800x3d lmao

[buoyant bridge]

Intel wifi is known for working so well because just the Linux side of the Intel wifi software development department is larger than AMDs entire software department for Ryzen

[spring latch]

or a 9950x3d

[trim mason]

not asking about money, would they have a big diff?

[plain cypress]

There is a diff

[trim mason]

how much tho

[buoyant bridge]

Also literally the top corporate contributor to most of the mainstream distros and the Linux Kernal

[plain cypress]

If you already have 7800x3d, different story
If you're buying, get 9800x3d

[plain cypress]

Go watch some reviews

[trim mason]

doesnt 7800x3d provide more value for money

[void bronze]

googling is a lost art

[buoyant bridge]

Intel doesn't contribue to open source stuff out of the good of their heart fyi they do it because it allows them to run off with shitloads of US government money much easier

[trim mason]

you're not a straightforward person are you

[plain cypress]

5090
Value for money

[buoyant bridge]

You should get a Intel core 2 duo, any core 2 duo is better than the 9800x3d /lh

[plain cypress]

N100

[trim mason]

bruh just tell me the performance diff it's not that deep

[buoyant bridge]

n100 doesn't make enough heat too cold so it's obviously not preforming well

[plain cypress]

It's not that easy to say, there's a million asterisks, as always, it depends

[trim mason]

which one would be the best ffs

[cold skiff]

Get a 9800x3d. What’s 200 extra bucks when you’re already spending dram money on a 5090 at like 3k.

[plain cypress]

The short answer if you're already buying the best GPU, why settle for the anything besides the best gaming cpu

[trim mason]

BRO ITS NOT ABOUT MONEY

[plain cypress]

I feel like I already said that a lot earlier

[cold skiff]

Yes it is

[buoyant bridge]

The AMD A6-9500 might actually be the best desktop CPU ever made in recent years
Such great IPC, such good heating capabilities, it even has a lot of cores

[cold skiff]

Because more money = better component

[plain cypress]

Sapphire rapids

[cold skiff]

Me buying a 5090 would be mad shit… cause I play 1080p

Imagine spending 3k on a 5090 to only spend 100 on a monitor lol

[buoyant bridge]

As an Xeon W9 owner I can confirm more expensive does not mean better but I got this CPU for free

[plain cypress]

I would do despicable things for that much Intel foundry silicon

[buoyant bridge]

steal it from work

when it gets retired just sign it out as discarded and take it

[cold skiff]

Sign it out as defective and binned

[plain cypress]

grabs a wafer
Gordonramsayitsfuckingraw.gif

[cold skiff]

That’s how that stuff works

[buoyant bridge]

That's illegal

you need to do it as discarded or the IRS gets upset

[cold skiff]

Sorry in this situation binned means put in the trash

[buoyant bridge]

if it's removed from inventory as discarded that means it was thrown away and legally you can take trash

[cold skiff]

My Britishness there

[plain cypress]

I've only held like bare SI wafers

I have a deep desire to use them as a frisbee but I have the feeling they would make for terrible frisbees

[buoyant bridge]

Intel should do a special edition CPU like they did the 8086K and 9990 and ship them in packaging that's a defective wafer

[plain cypress]

Also we have to reduce our defects by 50% by end of April, so my Q1 is fucked

[buoyant bridge]

Like the plastic wafer shells i9s and i7s used to ship in but an actual defective wafer

This packaging but a real wafer for some low production number special CPU

[plain cypress]

Goated boxes

Actually dodecahedron box was best

But the wafers are like 99.9999% as good

[buoyant bridge]

I wonder how much money Intel dumps into box design

it's gotta be close to apple sometimes

They put a lot of care into some of their packaging

[plain cypress]

Not as much

Most of Intel products don't go into boxes

[buoyant bridge]

They mostly come in black cardboard carriers

[cold skiff]

I’d imagine Apple spends way more. Business consumers get a box. I’d imagine OEM Intel is like 50 CPUs in an unbranded brown box marked Intel cpu name

[buoyant bridge]

they're literally just a plastic clamshell that holds like 600 CPUs I've seen them before

[plain cypress]

Apple absolutely has a chief box executive

[plain cypress]

Designismypassion.wmv

[cold skiff]

Yeah Apple loves their branding even if no one see’s it

[buoyant bridge]

Xeons come in plastic clamshells that hold 1, 2, or 4 CPUs since multi CPU stuff from Intel comes in pairs

[cold skiff]

600 CPUs? Hot damn.

That’s a big clamshell

[sleek ibex]

Intel's old marketing slaps hard

[buoyant bridge]

Yeah they're just a shipping box with some foam and a giant sectioned clamshell

[cold skiff]

https://tenor.com/view/homer-simpson-simpsons-juicy-gif-6692258396482537216

[plain cypress]

They should bring this shit back with Nova lake

[cold skiff]

MMX ftw

[plain cypress]

Old Intel ads were fantastic

[buoyant bridge]

Xeons come in clamshells like this for oems

[cold skiff]

That awful intel inside chime though

[buoyant bridge]

This is what oems get Intel CPUs packaged like

[cold skiff]

Thats a good steal. No bulk. Fits straight in ya backpack. No one would know

[buoyant bridge]

Till you realize they're sequential CPU serial numbers and the OEM would notice very fast

[sleek ibex]

Also their Blue Man Group ads too

[cold skiff]

Depends who you work for I guess

[buoyant bridge]

"oh 21 in order serial numbers are missing, that's weird looks like a tray is missing"

[cold skiff]

For all we know dell could misplace those things all the time

Believe it or not that happens with bank notes…

[buoyant bridge]

tray CPUs get packaged like this

[steel umbra]

i agree with cpus just being packed in trays or foam, it’s better for le environment

or even better cardboard

[buoyant bridge]

Banks also automatically check for those notes however and if you use them in a bank it's pretty obvious

[cold skiff]

When I worked for a bank a few moons ago now over half a million a year went “missing” and rarely was anyone fired for stealing

[steel umbra]

not always

it can be anywhere from a plastic tray to little foam packet (up to the seller or distributor)

[cold skiff]

You would think that this money is traced but nope. It’s just claimed for on insurance.

[buoyant bridge]

I'm not a big fan of AMDs OEM packaging

[cold skiff]

It’s down as a reasonable loss

Thieving happens, ours the budget per year was 750k and it was always around 450-550k a year

[buoyant bridge]

Would that not require submitting the missing serial numbers

[cold skiff]

Probably.

[buoyant bridge]

My brother used to work for a federal branch bank and they kept VERY tight track of serial numbers (all automatic at drawers and counters) and they'd know which serial numbers went missing

[cold skiff]

Good luck asking anyone to trace it or look out for it. Just because you find the note doesn’t mean it’s the person that stole it

[steel umbra]

where do you live

[random gyro]

https://tenor.com/view/dashie-dashiexp-dashiegames-dashiexp2-lamarr-gif-7300614741372559372

[steel umbra]

that sounds like… ._.

[buoyant bridge]

they could tell you exactly where it went missing and which exact note went missing

[cold skiff]

UK kvetinky

[random gyro]

rest in peace legend

[cold skiff]

You can tell the location it was sent to. Remember, this never turned up, it never “arrived”.

[steel umbra]

the bri’ish allow that kind of steeling

[cold skiff]

Apparently the banks do. I was stunned to see that’s the losses we make.

[buoyant bridge]

Branch banks handle this a lot tighter since if their money gets stolen they need to fill out a incident report for each individual bill to the Fed before a replacement note can be printed and delivered

so if $10000 in $20s got stolen that'd be a few thousand incident reports

[cold skiff]

It’s like a cpu tray for say dell. They can just write it off as accidentally thrown in trash. No one would then care or even look or notice serial numbers if you say sold it all on eBay

[buoyant bridge]

That's not true

when I worked for Dell we had people in loss prevention that did exactly that

[cold skiff]

I said they can. Not they do.

[buoyant bridge]

they'd look for large numbers of recent CPUs being sold off on sites like eBay and Craigslist and occasionally even buy 10-15 and see if one of our missing serial numbers turned up

[stable beacon]

the game runs now, but i think i'm right about the ram.

[steel umbra]

insurance fraud is dum, you’re just making it more expensive for everyone else at on average total net loss

[buoyant bridge]

This worked SURPRISINGLY fucking well

I worked in an adjacent department and pretty commonly had to talk with federal investigators whenever they found missing serial numbers this way

[steel umbra]

if you like jump under a car to claim insurance

[cold skiff]

Heh. How may people do you think we’re ever prosecuted though

[buoyant bridge]

a lot

I handled getting paperwork to company lawyers

insurance wouldn't reimburse the company unless we determined where the lost CPUs went AND also had evidence of police involvement

employee accidentally dumps a tray in the trash? Cool we've got video of that to hand to insurance with proof said employee was reprimanded

Someone steals them? Company didn't get shit back untill we found evidence of who may have stolen then and filed police reports and then submitted copies of said police reports

[cold skiff]

Yeah in the UK we don’t go that far. Ironic really

[buoyant bridge]

Have you ever actually been involved with a loss prevention department

they have pretty wide internal investigation powers and can definitely track theft down

[cold skiff]

I’d say we don’t because we don’t want to protect tech like that where as you guys are very protective for good reason

[steel umbra]

ultraprocessed sand

[cold skiff]

It still amazes me how much money a banks retail division just writes off

[buoyant bridge]

they don't just "write it off" they know what's happened they just can't do very much about it or it's not worth it to go after and insurance reimburses them if it's not their fault

[cold skiff]

I mean they do trace some. There was a case of an employee for us caught which was mega lols

She was high level

Wined and dined with MPs and everything

[buoyant bridge]

Usually what happens from what I've seen is the bank doesn't do anything and just keeps handing evidence to the government and then government fraud investigators catch the person after they've been doing it for 6 or more months with shit loads of evidence

it's not worth it to anyone to do something about a trained employee who stole $500 once

that $500 won't come back, you'll be out much more money replacing them. Most businesses don't care

[cold skiff]

IIRC another one stole like 1billion so that was always gonna get caught

Took like a decade or something

[steel umbra]

in my country our le politics steal few millions here and there, nobody cares/cannot do anything
release criminals known and sentenced for corruption and mafia

[cold skiff]

When the financial crisis hit in 2007, that’s the main reason these people got caught

[buoyant bridge]

I own 2 businesses and the guy I hired for loss prevention at the warehouse crunched the numbers we literally lose more money replacing someone who's stolen less than $8K in monetary value than we do to just ignore it

[cold skiff]

Oh yeah a lot of the time it isn’t worth it

[buoyant bridge]

it costs roughly $26K to replace someone at the warehouse who's actually working

[cold skiff]

Knowing your employees steal millions a year though, tough to swallow.

[buoyant bridge]

And it costs $100K+ each year the first 3 years to replace upper management

[buoyant bridge]

I had someone in upper management stealing around $2K a week worth of tools and after they'd stolen around $30K I just walked into their office and told them to return everything they stole and they'd keep their job.

They did return everything surprisingly, don't have to waste money training someone that way

[steel umbra]

bro i feel counting wrongly bread rolls (worth 12 cents) and paying for 10 when i actually have 11 in my bag

[bronze summit]

I love my AIO

[steel umbra]

and finding out once i return home

Since it sounds like a jet engine whenever I turn it on

[steel umbra]

steal 2k every week? 😭

Which makes me feel nostalgic like booting up a PS2 or a fat 360

[buoyant bridge]

Keep in mind this specific person was making $360K a year after taxes 😭

[cold skiff]

Christ.

I don’t understand why those well off want that tiny bit more

[bronze summit]

My chef friend steals seasonings and other cutleries every eeek

[buoyant bridge]

Upper 0.1% of people working their job title in the US fyi

[bronze summit]

And everyone in the staff steal food

[steel umbra]

i mean 2k every week is like 100k every year

75k (bc weekends and holidays)

[buoyant bridge]

unless it's a 5 star restaurant or chain they don't really care

subway wouldn't really care though a manager might

[bronze summit]

It's an airport which the upper management cares

Just us 15 an hour plebians don't give a shit

[buoyant bridge]

trust me if you're regularly stealing they know

[bronze summit]

I personally don't steal

The only thing I do is eat meatballs

[steel umbra]

i think on average wealthy people steal just as much as mid class or wretched

[buoyant bridge]

Anything you do more than like 2-3 times in a business the buisness knows about

[steel umbra]

coincidence you got a thief

[bronze summit]

Either way I was terminated so

I will just say this

Everyone steals, it's just different environments

[buoyant bridge]

Imo wealthy people are more likely to since they've got money to fall back on while between jobs they don't have to worry as badly about maintaining a job

[bronze summit]

You might steal your sibling's TV Remote

Your dad's sharpie

In the context of a workplace maybe steal someone's lunch

It's just nature

If you're rich you steal people's life force

[cold skiff]

Wealthy people steal the most

[steel umbra]

most likely or most amount?

[steel umbra]

i believe there was condicted a wallet drop test in poorer and richer regions around the us and ib europe too? the difference wasn’t big enough to draw conclusions

[cold skiff]

Most amount.

Possibility it’s more likely, as most of us poor people genuinely need our jobs and the risk/reward isn’t there

As a fox says. If you can afford to go from wealth to mega wealth stealing you got something to fall back on. As opposed to going from poor to well off, if it fucks up, you only become mega poor.

[steel umbra]

there is diminishing curve to wealth as well no?

100k to 1million better than 1 million to 10 million

Stealing from Walmart is always cool

Fuck Walmart

fuck walmart for not paying their workers shit

Still if an Australian was here they’d probably warship more than me

[sleek ibex]

I should ask HardwareBob how much he had on his time here

[cold skiff]

I mean a common phrase that gets me, is one us Brits use to describe when something is shit in a term that commonly also means to beat one’s own man meat

I’d fear to see an Australians warship just to see how often the C word is blanked out here

[sleek ibex]

[glossy patio]

Well guys, after being a newfound PC gamer since 3 years ago (Discord I have used since I was a junior in high school back in 2016), I decided to tier list all of the PC game launchers that made modern PC gaming the way it is rn. I wonder what everyone's thoughts on this tier list are

[void bronze]

discord isnt a launcher

well technically it was until they killed that

[steel umbra]

discord in C, ubisoft in F, steam in C, roblox in F

[void bronze]

STEAM IN C?

Ecuse my manners, are you dumb or blind?

[steel umbra]

yes

[void bronze]

yeah your opinions are no longer valid

[steel umbra]

epic also has some strenghts like “free games”

[burnt goblet]

is that roblox or bethesda in b

[steel umbra]

itch is better imo than steam

[flat cliff]

For sub $400 and maybe even sub $350 for excellent condition refurbished from Amazon or maybe eBay for a pixel fold if someone needs a pixel because they want to run GrapheneOS and needs to replace the pixel 7 they have had since a month after launch because older battery and display issues...any reason not to get the fold? I was looking at the 9 fold or the 10 series but the 9 fold is like $800 and the 10 series is even worse in emulation (right?) and I don't game much on my phone anyways (less clash royal counts).

[void bronze]

god green names really do love ragebaiting

[steel umbra]

steam charges 100+ for each published game

[void bronze]

.....you werent alive in the greenlight days, werent you?

[steel umbra]

kinda offensive from when you literally find actual theft ok

[void bronze]

okay man

L + ratio + pantera

[steel umbra]

epic gives away AAA titles that are 2+ years old, i’m not saying steam doesn’t have strenghts but considering competition it’s hard to put steam in higher than C imo

[void bronze]

needing free games for people to actually use it rofl

[glossy patio]

Just found out it's the Bethesda logo in another Discord, but read it as Bethesda

[steel umbra]

you use it for the free games yes

[void bronze]

i dont tho

[steel umbra]

that you would otherwise pay in steam 5-30 bucks

[void bronze]

if i want a free game i would just sail the seas

[steel umbra]

2 year old titles that had huge budgets for free

[glossy patio]

Steam being in C is insanely wild considering how much they changed the PC gaming space:

• Easier access for multi-controller support
• Has a HUGE library of games along side with consistent discounts
• Free online
• Best formatting of supporting external drives
• Offline mode to boot your games still even when your internet craps out

Only real issues is mainly regarding how they license their games, but other than, Steam is truly the supreme launcher

[void bronze]

IKR

[wheat torrent]

ah yes discord the game launcher

[flat cliff]

?

[void bronze]

discord did actually sell games

but it was a LONG time ago

[glossy patio]

It was on the list of Game Launchers I found on the custom tier list, so I was like, "Why not ?"

[steel umbra]

and that you need to pay steam each time you want to post a game

huge minus

[void bronze]

everyone does that lmao

[steel umbra]

no lol

[void bronze]

...epic literally does

[steel umbra]

itch does?

[void bronze]

they do

[steel umbra]

no

[void bronze]

if youre ragebaiting gtfo

[steel umbra]

damn how come i could post my game on itch then without payment

[void bronze]

youre game is probably ass anyways xD

[steel umbra]

also so many platforms have offline mode it shouldn’t be listed as a pro on a proper one

[misty mauve]

steam is s tier

[void bronze]

kve stop buddy

you are literally digging a hole for yourself

[misty mauve]

does bethesda still have a launcher

[steel umbra]

epic, itch, literally have it

[void bronze]

dude just stop

you arent gonna convince anyone man

[steel umbra]

well, that is indeed your opinion

[void bronze]

Which had a giant impact and literally changed how we got games? Epic or Steam

[steel umbra]

that was then and now is now

[void bronze]

cope man

just admit you cant get your dogshit game on steam </3

[steel umbra]

free AAA games on epic, more free games on itch

[void bronze]

https://tenor.com/view/bosnov-67-bosnov-67-67-meme-gif-16727368109953357722

[steel umbra]

yes, there is a difference between paying steam 5-30 per game or not paying a dime (ignoring they collect personal information)

[void bronze]

Lmao shut it don’t care

[steel umbra]

well you don’t, but other do

ironically even gta V was free on epic

[cold skiff]

The kids are flocking to epic

And epic is also giving free full games for us oldies

[steel umbra]

what else do you want when you can use epic’s license download the game and tape it on your steam workshop or something if you like mods

[cold skiff]

Competition is good

I’d imagine even valve will say they’ve needed worthwhile competition for some time

Data isn’t free. What valve loses out on in game sales it makes up in saved bandwidth

And imagine all that free data for free to play games that epic can do for free for steam.

[void bronze]

Fuck epic games

Fucking ruined and killed unreal tournament

[cold skiff]

UT never evolved

It couldn’t really without having some crazy backshit story

[void bronze]

Fuck fortnite

[steel umbra]

UE4 and 5 are cool

[cold skiff]

Fortnite is just TF2 battle royal. Change my mind

[void bronze]

Let’s just put every pop culture person in our game instead of being original

[steel umbra]

[cold skiff]

Once valve did what they did to tf2, the industry was fucked

Good game ruined by lots of cosmetics and “new gun play” shite

[steel umbra]

free games are still free

[void bronze]

I’d rather pirate

[steel umbra]

it launches just like steam when you double press on the window icon

[cold skiff]

Pirating the pirate software game whatever it’s called would be doing him a favour

[steel umbra]

well, according to your logic even stealing from walmart is ok

(you literally said that)

[cold skiff]

No one wants to play that or pay for it

[void bronze]

literally everyone I’ve worked with at walmart literally said they couldn’t care less about stealing at Walmart

[steel umbra]

[steel umbra]

the kek emoji doesn’t make the fact better you’re ok with theft

[void bronze]

And I’ll sleep just fine

even if your stated belief goes agaisnt that

I’ll just shoot atp

yeah that won’t pass when i just stole a box of nails

you can’t just shoot me lol

[void bronze]

oh I can still Bya

[steel umbra]

well, you didn’t tell me i trespassed the store was clearly open

[void bronze]

probably everywhere around the world even in the most rough reigms

This is dumb but if I down loaded something in google and it like goes into my files. Then I go file explores thrn right click delete in there is it gone?

[wheat torrent]

33 do?

[winged sky]

Wot...

Like... deleted off your pc? Or deleted off the internet?

Cause if you mean deleted off your pc, delete usually just moves it to the recycle bin. If you mean deleted off the internet, no it doesnt delete it from the internet

[lime grail]

bought a 500gb hdd for 5 dollars

[devout bramble]

I want it off my pc

[winged sky]

Delete then empty your recylce bin then

[devout bramble]

Because I went on google

Then you know when you download like a Lau Cher

[buoyant bridge]

Name the operating system

[winged sky]

I name it Gerry Linuxman

[buoyant bridge]

it's not Linux

[winged sky]

BSD

[buoyant bridge]

yeah but which one

Hint : runs on anything

[winged sky]

Freebsd

[buoyant bridge]

no

[winged sky]

Or openbsd

[buoyant bridge]

freebsd and openbsd barely run on anything

The pool of hardware they run on is relatively small

netBSD has literally been ported to hardware that can't run doom

[winged sky]

Idk bsd that well tbh

[buoyant bridge]

There's ways to make the latest version of netbsd run in a mere 96k of ram before you even start stripping away its ability to do advanced shit

[spring latch]

i love ai math failures

[winged sky]

The most computationally expensive calculator

[spring latch]

idk where it got 38788 out of 3588 but ok

[buoyant bridge]

try doing extremely precise fractional math in ai

I'm actually really curious if an AI not forwarding math to a traditional calculator can do precise fractional math unlike traditional calculators

Also wonder if they can do an infinite series

[spring latch]

i wonder if it would be more accurate at fp32 but dont think a 4 gigabyte card needs to suffer that mych

[buoyant bridge]

When I was in school
Quintic function and Infinite series where considered impossible for computers

[true drift]

have any of you heard of keeper security

i think linus sponsored it once

[ebon marlin]

Kanäle

[rigid fjord]

all gen 5 drives need cooling, however no consumer needs a gen 5 drive

that's mono vs stereo channel, you'll want stereo all the time

[rigid fjord]

mono is single channel, stereo is 2 channels, aka left + right channel

mono is basically right channel only

so, sound on a single side vs sound on both sides

[left dove]

mono can also be downmixed stereo

or over both speakers

[winter lance]

ayeee we got same case bro

[ebon marlin]

Not like it's the most common and popular case out there

[rigid fjord]

https://blogs.windows.com/windows-insider/2025/10/06/announcing-windows-11-insider-preview-build-26120-6772-beta-channel/

[winter lance]

What gpu do u have

[ebon marlin]

For now a 5070

[winter lance]

Damn nice I got a 3080

[winter lance]

Dis my build

[ebon marlin]

I'll probably switch to a 9070xt soon or wait for UDNA

[winter lance]

Why is everyone switching to amd

[ebon marlin]

Nvidia is jank

[winter lance]

damn

I gotta go try find more ram 😞

My ram is broken

[true stirrup]

Rip

[winter lance]

Yea fr I really wanted to start gaming n shi but won’t even let me open games it’s awful

Took me 4 hours to install windows with broken ram

[mint umbra]

Wdym everyone switching to amd

[rigid fjord]

not everyone but at the same time, amd can offer the same or similar performance for a lower cost

[mint umbra]

First Im hearing that

[rigid fjord]

there are more people going for the newer intel dgpu's as well

[mint umbra]

Amd has worse rt and some applications better optimized for cuda

[rigid fjord]

basing purchase because of RT can leave you with a card that overall has shitty performance

[mint umbra]

Depends on tier of card

[thorny saddle]

top tier only please

[cold skiff]

In Europe most countries are selling 9 or 10 amd gpus for every Nvidia gpu in the DIY market

SI I believe the figure is believed to be around 5 Nvidia for every 1 AMD gpu

The SI figures will wildly vary by country in the EU

Wouldn’t be surprised if all in all there’s equal amounts being sold tbfh across diy and SI

[cold skiff]

Like the 9060xt?

Cause sure you get fsr4.. but you are just getting nothing but a 7700xt from 2023 with better RT

Or 2022 I forget

[rigid fjord]

if you mean the 8gb one, yeah, even the 8gb 5060ti is shit

[cold skiff]

The 16gb trades blows in raster with a 7700xt

[rigid fjord]

the 16gb one, the performance is actually decent decent despite being essentially a 7700xt with better fsr and 4gb more vram

[cold skiff]

Decent for price

[rigid fjord]

better option over a 5060ti 16gb

[cold skiff]

Spec wise really I’d love to have seen 7800xt raster performance tbh

As it beats the 7800xt in rt generally

[rigid fjord]

9070 non-xt basically that

price wise though, the 9060xt 16gb is the better option comparatively

[ionic peak]

Is this Sapphire PULSE RX Vega 56 good for 75 euros?

[mint umbra]

Steam surveys has all nvda at top

[ionic peak]

8gb

I want to know

[sharp sleet]

is 7600 8gb good in 1080p

[ebon marlin]

Poop

[buoyant bridge]

Yeah

[ionic peak]

Why 😭

[ebon marlin]

Majority pc users get prebuilts and prebuilts don't really ever have AMD

[azure topaz]

id argue and say the 9060xt its honestly its equiv, unless the diff between 9060xt and 9070 is tiny, but i dont think so

my 7800XT got like 18k points in timespy i think at stock and my 9060xt did 16 thousand

[winter lance]

Chat I have returned from my side mission of getting new ram

They gave me mismatched ram but same speed is that okay?

[mint umbra]

Feel like alot of ppl that aren't to into tech would get nvda cuz it's a more popular brand to the average consumer if they had a choice

[rigid fjord]

it's tiny, but enough for it to be better than getting a 7700xt, total performance wise the 16gb 9060xt is directly in line with the 7700xt not a 7800xt

[mint umbra]

Even if there was pre-built for both

[cold skiff]

This. The 7800xt just pisses all over the 9060xt in raster. That’s why I don’t get why they didn’t give it the horsepower to match raster when 90% of the time it’s performance with RT is better than the 7800xt

For me AMD have missed a trick. That tier of 7800xt performance in raster doesn’t exist. You can get like 10% better in a 9070, but they could have really stood the 8gb and 16gb apart with that level of raster instead of 7700xt levels

[rigid fjord]

the 9070 is between a 7800xt and 7900gre, though a 9070xt is more a direct competitor to a 7900xt

[mint umbra]

The rumor nivida slowing production next year isnt this just cuz memory shortage

[rigid fjord]

less rumour more factual, and yes due to dram ic costs

[mint umbra]

Wouldn't amd have same issue then

[rigid fjord]

thing is, amd has less issues due to having a greater amount of products made, so they can cover for it
nvidia flip/flops between dram ic manufacturers

[ornate harbor]

Idk how but I cut of a PCB part of my old laptop and it still works

[rigid fjord]

with that, nvidia initially makes lower production amounts to begin with, so they create more of an artificial scarcity of their products @mint umbra

[rigid fjord]

nothings going through the traces of that part quite simply

[ornate harbor]

Yeah but i didnt expect it to be so easy

[rigid fjord]

it's soldered pads with nothign attached, essential a dead zone on the laptops' pcb

[ornate harbor]

Now its a Frankenstein laptop

[rigid fjord]

nope, if it was a frankenstien of a laptop, you'd use a mix of at least 3 laptops to create it

[ornate harbor]

I think i can replace some of the capacitors and resistors with fitting ones of a desktop motherboard

Should find something fitting there

[cold skiff]

Less SKUs helps also

[ornate harbor]

I'm using a desktop chip set heatsink to cool it is that enough

[cold skiff]

You need a fan

[ornate harbor]

I dont orignally the laptop didnt even have a heatsink

[rigid fjord]

if this is something like an intel n100, you'd cool it on a spoon and a wet fart

[ornate harbor]

I think N5010 with 6W or smth

[cold skiff]

Christ what is that sodimm

[ornate harbor]

idk

[hollow mulch]

why use a fan when you can use your cpu as a heater

[rigid fjord]

same diff

[cold skiff]

6w? Gonna throttle without a 360mm aio

My pc stuck on cpu light is it because of mismatched ram??

[elder knoll]

u could find out by taking out a ram stick

[winter lance]

I tried still stuck on cpu light

[cunning flume]

can i somehow increase my pc usage because some games only use like 30 percent of my gpu and cpu and i want more fps

[winter lance]

Do u think it’s because it’s the 4400mhz ram stick

[elder knoll]

maybe clear cmos as a start

[rain urchin]

can you try booting with only one stick of ram?

[winter lance]

Yea it ran with the 3000mhz ram stick

[winter lance]

My gpu is in the way and I’m too lazy to remove it

[gleaming rose]

whelp I think my next phone will be a Xiaomi

[winter lance]

Yea it’s the 4400mhz ram it’s too much for the pc the shop lied to me

They said they was both 3200mhz

What an idiot scammed me

[livid fern]

17 pro max yes

[livid fern]

downclock it

[cunning flume]

any way to increase my pc utilization so i have higher fps?

[winter lance]

My pc won’t boot with it

[serene python]

found an old pic of my setup

epic

[cold skiff]

I have one of an old setup from 10 years ago on my phone 😬

[warm saddle]

Is 13500 score in cinebench for r5 7600 good?

[winter lance]

bruh I’m on 8gb of ram

🫩 FFS

[rain urchin]

maybe try THX clips?

no, it is a series of videos on youtube

you might have too many sound enhancement programs installed, try uninstalling some of them until stereo work and then if you desire you can try adding them back one by one until the problem comes up again

You are probably too young for THX jokes

[delicate geode]

Need help unplugging this cord to my SATA SSD. I got the small one out which I think is the power now I need the big one which I think is the mobo data one idk if I flipped those but the point is I can’t get it out I’ve been pulling pretty hard and it has no latch

[rain urchin]

small one was data to the motherboard

big one is power

[delicate geode]

Okay I see

Well I stilll can’t get it out do I just yank harder?

[rain urchin]

it should just pull straight down

maybe rock it a little

[delicate geode]

Bro ts is stuck

Ok what are the odds I break it you think?

Dude I’m tugging on this thing

I rocked it this thing WONT come out

[gleaming rose]

just a 17 pro I like a smaller phone

[rain urchin]

I do not have this information you seek

The power is routed through the metal enclosure?

is the drive screwed down to anything?

try unscrewing the drive from the enclose and see if you can work the power connector out by moving the ssd drive around

the drive side of the connector is mostly plastic with metal pins so try to still be careful not to break the plastic

[delicate geode]

I got it I just went side to side and pulled and it eventually worked

Thank you bro

[rain urchin]

You are welcome

[ivory mountain]

thorfinn is a bitch

[delicate geode]

Wow

I respect your opinion I have no enemies

[rain urchin]

Could have been worse, it could have been a SAS drive

[ivory mountain]

yeah cause u killed them all

😭

[delicate geode]

That’s not the point of the show

[ivory mountain]

askeladd the goat and i stand on that hill

[livid fern]

Ah my hands could never

[weary anvil]

whenever i play vr games and i exit my game my pc always makes a
Really loud high pitched noise and i cant open any apps without my pc freezing so i always have to restart it

[spark path]

how do I add those stuff here? because I already got riva stuff but people told me hwinfo is better

[spark path]

what did you just say about my boy thorfinn?!!

[ivory mountain]

did i stutter buddy

[ivory mountain]

use the OSD (rtss) tab

[spark path]

nah but it seems to me like you don't understand what you're talkin about, so I might need to knock some sense into ya head

[spark path]

am tryinngggg 😭

[ivory mountain]

ur screenshot says ur using the OSD tab and not OSD (rtss)

[spark path]

I don't want it to be all those writing, like I just want CPU then next to it temp, usage, wattage

[spark path]

i thought it was there since i couldn't find it on the RTSS

[winter lance]

i got 2x16 ddr5-6000 cl30 for 402.24

[winter lance]

I used Klarna to buy 16gb ram for £90

Fml

[tired bear]

sorry, i bought it all

[brave brook]

i got a feeling the whole shortage is not a real shortage even. OpenAI bought up 40% of waffer space with money they don't have, to make chips they don't have resources for

[delicate geode]

Hey I’m installing windows fresh through the creation tool bc it’s abt time and I want to DELETE completely everything. All I have rn for storage is the USB stick windows is on and my 2TB SSD. How do I do this properly and delete completely everything off the drive and reinstall windows new like day one?

[tired bear]

https://youtu.be/l0K4XPu3Qhg

[rigid fjord]

between this and the dolby sound one, these are great sound tests for audio

[tired bear]

delete everything with disk0, then select it as a installation target

[delicate geode]

So I click on every single “disk 0” then hit delete partition

[tired bear]

yes

[delicate geode]

Ok

I installed my mobos WiFi drivers and it’s saying can’t connect to internet even tho the password is correct I’m in the windows setup rn after reinstalling thru creation tool

[south arrow]

Babys had me up allot throughout the night just beat been a hard few months. Feel like i could sleep a day or so

[quick stag]

click on every single partition and click delete, then click on the empty partition left over but make sure you don’t delete “disk 1 partition 1”

[rigid fjord]

well yes but also no, considering it's ddr5

[quick stag]

wow my discord was scrolled up way way too much

[rigid fjord]

it happens

[gloomy sleet]

yeah idk steam i dont think thats 33%

[patent terrace]

Question if i switch from a 7900xt to a 9070xt should i still DDU all the driver and reinstall or i can RawDawg it?

[tardy jay]

Would you guys say the Acer MA200 is a good 2230 Nvme for my Steamdeck?

[chrome ether]

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/6FZYyW
im planning a new almost fully brand new pc to replace the 3700x + 6750xt i have currently, if anybody has any advice on anything i should change, that would be very helpful

[rigid fjord]

realistically ssd choice ic crap, and for 13th gen or newer on intel you want to go ddr5, you could just upgrade the cpu and gpu in your current am4 system

[chrome ether]

i could use satas, i dont mind the slower speed
as for the ram ddr4 is all i can really afford lmao, rampocalypse is hitting
the only problem with the last one is that i have 2 dimm slots, and i dont really want to keep spending money on the am4 socket

[rigid fjord]

having 2 dimm slots is totally fine, and if all you're doing is gaming then yeah, having a good bunch of sata ssd's is quite ideal, thoug it's not the fact of sata vs nvme for ssd choice it's more the nv3 uses qlc nand which has a sucky endurance

[chrome ether]

ah

its just that trying to sell my gpu and buying a potential 4070s or 3090 in this case seems very risky

[rigid fjord]

you could look for a 9070xt alternatively

[chrome ether]

yeah but even if i sold my gpu id have around 500gbp max for the whole upgrade, if i got a 5700x3d id need to fit an aio, 32gb ram into that too

[rigid fjord]

you won't need an aio for a 5700x3d at all ever

it's easily air cooled

[chrome ether]

oh just thought itd be nice to have

[rigid fjord]

£50 for an aio that'll basically match what a £30 air cooler does

as for the ram, you can grab kits on ebay instead

[chrome ether]

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/8DwsRV

this is basically my current build

[hushed escarp]

yo, i want to buy ram and it says 6000mt/s. does that mean 6000mhz? like im so confused when i googled this. Im thinking this one:
https://gamezone.si/trgovina/racunalniske-komponente/spominski-moduli-ram/ram-ddr5-32gb-kit-2x16gb-pc5-48000-6000mt-s-cl32-1-35v-g-skill-trident-z5-neo-amd-expo-41096.html?utm_source=ceneje&utm_medium=products&utm_campaign=ceneje_products&utm_content=pp_16

[rigid fjord]

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/277593524930 < for example on ebay for a 32gb kit

[chrome ether]

i do have a 5600x but it has bent pins

[rigid fjord]

for marketing purposes yes 6000mt/s is 6000mhz, but in reality no

[rigid fjord]

thos are fairly easiy to straighten with a little patience

also you can pair it with a more modern gpu easily

[chrome ether]

id still ideally ask a shop to straighten them

[trim schooner]

hi chat do i get lian li fans or asiahorse fans

[hushed escarp]

so if in the descriptions it says 6000mt/s that basically means 6000mhz

[rigid fjord]

for marketing yes, but realistically 6000mt/s = 3000mhz

ddr = dual/double dram rate

and ddr5 = dual/double dram rate (gen) 5

[hushed escarp]

so we are all used to say mhz but the correct way is mt/s?

[rigid fjord]

yup, mainly because of marketing

[hushed escarp]

ok thank u

[delicate geode]

I reinstalled windows fresh from creation tool should I update my chipset drivers or no I updated them like a week ago ago

[chrome ether]

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/XL4bNz
alright thanks, you gave me a new view on it, ill see what i can do about the upgrade

[rigid fjord]

if it's a fresh instal, then you need to insure all drivers are up to date

[kindred halo]

Honestly, peak entertainment is trying to make a PCPP list with a "challenge"

Also hi Rauko :3

[rigid fjord]

you can still add a nvme ssd if you wish but tbh you'd want to look at aiming for ones with tlc nand in, like the evo you're currently using

[rigid fjord]

sup

[chrome ether]

oh thats just a placeholder, im using a 256gb patriot burst and a 512gb sandisk sata

[rigid fjord]

initially, this is how thinktank came to be

high performance build with the lowest cost possible in a set budget

using a single specific gpu

[somber zealot]

what should my fan curves look like?

[true stirrup]

Depends on your goals

[somber zealot]

quiet + ~60 degrees celsius during gaming

[kindred halo]

ThinkTank?

[kindred halo]

Oh, fair enough

[rigid fjord]

fair enough, i'd swap out the burst asap, like kingston a400's, have been known to die early

[chrome ether]

its just for an os, the 512 sandisk is my game drive

[rigid fjord]

capacity wise, the sandisk is a better drive for OS

sn570 is my os drive, while the mx500's, and the 2tb wdblue are games drives

[chrome ether]

oh yeah what amd equivalent gpu should i aim for

like = to a 4070 super

[rigid fjord]

there's the 9070 non-xt, 7900gre,7900xt and 9070xt

[chrome ether]

alr

[rigid fjord]

oh there's the 7800xt also

[tulip sparrow]

grumbles Looks like I will be hoping that the 7900 XT(X) will still be as low as $600 next year to replace my 3070 Ti for 1440p gaming and VR mods
