tech-chat-1

[white sphinx]

Haha lol, im curious myself, going to do it in the proper faraday cage with the proper equipment at work.

[peak knot]

1960s Tektronix type 502A differential scope

[true drift]

i wonder how much i could sell these for

[peak knot]

My differential scope lol

[white sphinx]

If the work scope doesnt pick it up i give up lol. Siglent 7404a iirc

[peak knot]

I love siglent for modern stuff

Best UI imo

[ivory mountain]

probably $40 a stick for the lpx

[white sphinx]

True but cant afford it myself lol

I have one of their basic scopes, still cost a tonne

[peak knot]

Yeah I got a 1202x-e it was my first scope I owned

And yeah like $350 for a 2 channel 200mhz scope

It’s why I invested in the used Agilent, get a beast of a 1ghz 4 channel scope

For like $450

And it runs XP

[white sphinx]

We do some fun stuff at work and we had money left over this year so we just went bonkers with equipment spending lol

[peak knot]

Use it or lose it lol

[white sphinx]

You can write off a 29000$ scope :p

[peak knot]

I just enjoy being able to do this and play doom whenever I want a break lol

[ornate harbor]

That thing looks really old

[white sphinx]

Its old but useful af

[ornate harbor]

Is it a oscilloscope I can't tell

[peak knot]

It is

[white sphinx]

A diff scope is probably the most useful tool for electronics

[ornate harbor]

Dang I say at least 50 years old

[peak knot]

I’ve been wanting a sampling scope lately

[peak knot]

Try 80 almost

[ornate harbor]

[white sphinx]

Dont worry, its still expensive

[ornate harbor]

That's sad

[white sphinx]

Its just how it is

[peak knot]

They never removed the stock games from this scopes OS either

[ornate harbor]

At what age does tech start to become more expensive again because it's retro/old

[white sphinx]

Oscillloscopes are just expensive period.

We bought a siglent 7404a to play with so we didnt break the more expensive ones.

[ornate harbor]

[white sphinx]

It fully depends on the scope though

And intended use case, you can get some ok ones for relatively cheap

We do some compliance testing for our equipment, those scopes are ridiculously priced

[ornate harbor]

My school has some

[white sphinx]

Learn to use them, its a nice skill to have

Especially if youre into signals and such

[tight lotus]

on gumtree a guy is selling a zotac extreme 2070 super, corsair h100i, fractal matx case and an 850w corsair psu for 150 bucks is it worth it?

scrapyard wars typa vibe

[ornate harbor]

I can't understand signals that woman give me I wouldn't understand electrical ones either

[white sphinx]

Dont worry, electrical signals are easier to understand😢

[ornate harbor]

I hope so

[peak knot]

wtf minesweeper lied to me

[south arrow]

Intended feature lol

[peak knot]

Yall got me playing it on my oscilloscope and it lied to me

[white sphinx]

I play too much minesweeper for this

[peak knot]

Have you ever seen this before?

I’m kinda surprised I’ve never seen it do this

[white sphinx]

This?

[empty quartz]

Yes

[peak knot]

Yeah

[empty quartz]

I dont see whats wrong

[peak knot]

Say 1 with 2 mines there

[empty quartz]

Theres only 1

And then the one you clicked

[peak knot]

Oh I see I did mess up

[empty quartz]

I play too much mine sweeper

[white sphinx]

Try this

[empty quartz]

Ive done harder

[white sphinx]

I have no more guaranteed moves atp if im not tripping

[peak knot]

Bottom middle can have some safe guesses

That 3 in particular

Has a 2 and 1 by it with 2 already marked

[white sphinx]

Where?

[random gyro]

Sup yall

[hexed tapir]

Forgot how good old icons where

[real quiver]

Does anybody use frigate? I have a pretty urgent issue and I'm desperate for assistance

I'm trying to export a video for police evidence and it will only export audio

[drowsy heart]

Why not just show them it from the original device

[buoyant bridge]

many courts want their own copy

a lot even want it on physical media

[buoyant bridge]

is there format options?

[drowsy heart]

Oh ok

[buoyant bridge]

my county only accepts it on USB sticks lol

[real quiver]

Because that's not possible

[real quiver]

No it only exports as an mp4 and I've never had issues before

[buoyant bridge]

are you able to view the recording normally?

I don't use frigate I use Hikvision NVRs but I've had times where cameras just flat out fail to record video because I didn't use shielded cable in some places

[real quiver]

Yes

[buoyant bridge]

might wanna make a thread in #1027757333117415424 someone may know more about it then I do

[serene atlas]

Is using moonlight vs steams built in game streaming noticeably better for PC to steam deck streaming?

[real quiver]

I did but no response yet

[buoyant bridge]

not in my experience

[real quiver]

I love how I tested it a ton with zero issues

[buoyant bridge]

have you tried consulting reddit at all

[real quiver]

And now when it actually needs to work it simply will not

[real quiver]

That's a last resort

[buoyant bridge]

I just use it as a first resort since reddit usually can answer it

[coarse grotto]

lol apparently the US government is dumber than one would think when it comes to tech stuff...
the redacted epstein files can apparently be unredacted by opening the pdf , and selecting all text , copy and paste somewhere else it copies the text wich is still present in the pdf behind the black squares.... 😄

[buoyant bridge]

LOL

downloading everything NOW

[low bridge]

Successfully rid my poor laptop of HP malware and I'm now installing my own

[south arrow]

Very good

[coarse grotto]

apparently its only a select few from the 8ths dropping those that were supposedly dropped by accident, and you cant doe the view in webbrowser thing but you have to hae the files on disk , then its prolly easiest to just scan all of them for wich are actually text based ones and dont do auto ocr as they all do if you open them online

[ashen hearth]

Is it possible to manually control the speed of every one of my 3 case fans if in BIOS I only see this?

[ivory mountain]

system 2 has a fan plugged into it as well it looks like

[ashen hearth]

Yes but it seems like it's a group controller

[ivory mountain]

are you on an air cooler?

[south arrow]

[craggy cove]

theyre probably daisy chained

so theyre all gonna run at the same speed

put them each in to a separate header if you really want to

[last hawk]

quick question, say i have a high performance/high demand/high price computer part that i want to sell, what website would be the right place to do it?

dont wanna say what it is for reasons

[south arrow]

Whatever version of ebay you have or local markets ofc

[last hawk]

thank you

[craggy cove]

we will steal your gtx 960

fb marketplace is probably also a thing

bit of a swamp but its where i get things done

[south arrow]

Never hurts to try

[last hawk]

will you?

[ashen hearth]

Yeah

[ashen hearth]

I just wanted to check which one was making a rattling sound

[buoyant bridge]

are they connected to individual headers or no

if you're using a controller is a sync cable connected?

SOME usb based controllers allow for control in the OS but not bios

[mint umbra]

is linux mint good for gaming

[buoyant bridge]

yes but no

if you want to go by the books the ONLY distro steam offically supports is ubuntu fyi

[mint umbra]

I was told it was simular to windows

[ashen hearth]

I don't think so, it's probably daisy chained but I surely didn't do it. Most likely the case already had them like this

[buoyant bridge]

the UI is similar

[empty quartz]

W corsair

[buoyant bridge]

try turning off one of the fans in your bios or setting them to a really high speed to see what it effects

you can manually control the curves in bios for each header OR you can turn off smart fan mode and set a static speed

[mint umbra]

couldnt you just download the proton stuff

[empty quartz]

Saw this while finding a place to park

[buoyant bridge]

yeah but its your mileage may vary

most people dont have issues on other distros

I personally like Solus and Fedora and have had good experience with gaming on them

[ivory mountain]

Why did dicord auto react 🥀

[craggy cove]

you can probably stop them with your finger

not sure if its the politically correct method but its what i would do

[buoyant bridge]

I do this its fine

push down on the center of the fan though not the blade

if you do on the blade you can damage the fan

[craggy cove]

the blade does other things too

fingernails take a bit of time to grow back

[mint umbra]

I feel like steam frame gunna be crazy expensive with the ram prices rn

[craggy cove]

i mean it only has 16gb of ram

[grizzled frost]

it’s also LPDRR5X, which is a pretty low demand type of ram

[ashen hearth]

Ok it's the fan in the upper part of the case. What solutions can I try before changing it? It's already clean, I removed all the dust

Like can it be that it's not properly plugged in? It seems to happen the most when it's at the lowest speed

[grizzled frost]

if there isn’t something like a cable hitting the fan, almost nothing to be done

[grizzled frost]

no

[ashen hearth]

Thanks, I checked and there's no cable hitting

[grizzled frost]

spend the like 5usd on a fan and replace it

[south arrow]

Iroh your laptop all good?

[grizzled frost]

Mhm, i had to go back and rinse some keys with 99% iso, but otherwise all good

[south arrow]

Very goods

[ashen hearth]

Do I have to buy a fan with specific specs or will it go along the other ones without problems no matter which one I get?

[grizzled frost]

Small syringe with some iso and injected it right below the key

worked beautifully

[grizzled frost]

doesn’t matter much, aesthetics is the biggest concern if you care about that

[ashen hearth]

I don't, I'll get the cheapest

[grizzled frost]

Then you’re golden

maybe don’t get the absolute cheapest you can find, at least get one from a brand you’ve heard of

really cheap fans get really crappy

thermaltake has decent fans for quite cheap

thermalright as well

[south arrow]

I always just get the cooler master halos but theyre pretty spendy at 20 a peice. Most $10 fans should suffice

[grizzled frost]

i buy noctua, but that’s cause i’m a bougie Mfer with sensitive ears

[mint umbra]

still going to be expensive

[south arrow]

No qualms noctua is primo

[mint umbra]

even 16gb is like 250 bucks cad

[grizzled frost]

that’s for desktop ddr5, not the same kind of ram as lpddr5x

[mint umbra]

I mean are they buying up like pretty much all memory

like ssds are going up in price too

[grizzled frost]

that’s cause AI also needs lots of high speed storage

[south arrow]

Eventually more factories will be up all we can do is hope

[grizzled frost]

and enterprise ssds use essentially the same NAND as desktop SSDs

[mint umbra]

and nivida and slowing down gpu production

[grizzled frost]

datacenters are only really buying desktop ddr5 packages, they don’t have much use for LPDDR5x

[mint umbra]

and read article that the partner boards will have to prvide their own memory

for nvda gpus

[grizzled frost]

they recently stopped giving their smaller partners boards with VRAM, they never did for their bigger partners

[mint umbra]

steam machine will be cooked too

will be 1000+

[grizzled frost]

it’s less of a concern than desktop ram

i’ve yet to see any price hikes for laptops that use soldered ram, though i haven’t been particularly looking for it

[azure topaz]

what is with people thinking the steam machine is going to be a million dollars

[mint umbra]

cuz of ram prices

[dapper lion]

Work in progress wall mount

[grizzled frost]

two very different types of ram packages though

[mint umbra]

it was already gunna be around 700 dollars most likely

[azure topaz]

i basically had this exact conversation earlier and used laptops as a direct point

[azure topaz]

source:absolutely nobody

[grizzled frost]

two different production lines with two different primary consumer bases

AI datacenters have zero use for LPDDR5x packages

[mint umbra]

I mean it wasnt going to be around 500 did you not see video when linux was at valbve

they said its going to priced like a pc

not like a console

[grizzled frost]

steam machine, yes, steam frame, no

the steam frame is a very different product

[mint umbra]

the frame they just said it would be cheaper than index

but that was already over 1000

so who knows how cheap it will be

[grizzled frost]

already exactly 1000*

[mint umbra]

my guess around 850

[azure topaz]

.

[grizzled frost]

my guess is i’m not willing to guess because there isn’t nearly enough solid information to make any sort of substantive assertion towards its price

[mint umbra]

the steam machine before ram prices I was guessing around 700ish

be after ram pushing it up to 1000

[azure topaz]

there’s simply no way broski

[azure topaz]

basically this but based off current laptop pricing it’s going to be fine

[mint umbra]

mate they said they are pricing it like a pc

[azure topaz]

they meant that in a good way

[grizzled frost]

for it to make any sense at all, it has to be priced at least slightly better than a PC

[azure topaz]

laptops are more expensive to make

they have a screen, keyboard, etc

computers do not

[grizzled frost]

identically specced PCs and laptops, the laptop will always cost more

[azure topaz]

this is my logic around the whole thing

[mint umbra]

pre built pcs arent 500 dollars lol

[craggy cove]

solution: sell inferior hardware with the same name

[grizzled frost]

Some very much are mate

[mint umbra]

its a going to be prices competitively with other pre build pcs

[azure topaz]

the prebuilt gaming computers you get at 700-800$ are considerably better than laptops at the same price point

[mint umbra]

recent saw cyber power with a rx 6500 xt at like 1000 cad

and a ryzen 5500

[grizzled frost]

because one model is indicative of every prebuilt in existence

[mint umbra]

Most ive seen are simular prices range

[stiff lynx]

Should I upgrade my 3060ti and if so what should I upgrade it to?

[azure topaz]

seems legit

[craggy cove]

just saw a prebuilt with a 8700f and 5060 ti 16gb for 900$

[mint umbra]

thats on sale not normal pricing

[craggy cove]

fake ass sale

[mint umbra]

I mean 900 dollars seems about right

[azure topaz]

another one for 800$ with a 5050 and 16gb ddr5

[craggy cove]

also TIL 13940f

[stiff lynx]

You could pay for that entire build with just the ram

[azure topaz]

leaked my name it’s joever

[craggy cove]

slight dox

[stiff lynx]

KEVINMM

[azure topaz]

you get the point though

[weak condor]

Oh frick dude delete em

[mint umbra]

Yall thinking its going to be as cheap as like a console or someshit

[azure topaz]

oh no you get my zip code!!

[craggy cove]

the tc1 opps wont let this slide

[stiff lynx]

I do seriously want an answer, should I upgrade my 3060ti to a better card?

[mint umbra]

mfs like valve to much and think they are gunna make it cheap as hell

[craggy cove]

do you need to or are you bored

[sleek ibex]

[weak condor]

I mean you’ll start to feel them 8gb of VRAM at some point

[craggy cove]

this is how i solve my purchasing decisions

99% of the time im bored

[weak condor]

But if it’s fine it’s fine

[azure topaz]

mfs give logic and reasoning for why it probably won’t be 1,000$

[craggy cove]

20% of the time i buy anyway

[mint umbra]

900-1000 yeah

[stiff lynx]

No need to, but if I do what should it be? Also tbh with the games going the way they are, I think 8 gigs of vram will be fine for the next couple years

[mint umbra]

other prebuilds are in that prices range

[azure topaz]

a desktop equivalent gpu slower than a 6600 and a 30w zen 4 6 core lol

[craggy cove]

you can get a 5070 for 500$ sometimes (assuming usa)

[azure topaz]

same thing i told the other guy, i got some crazy computers to sell you if you think 1000$ is a reasonable brand new price

[mint umbra]

With current ram prices yes

[craggy cove]

9070 xt is also a thing

[azure topaz]

1500$ gaming pc i5 2400 gt 730 2 million gb

[mint umbra]

ram is like 300 dollars on its own

[azure topaz]

i just linked/showed 2 desktops that would be better, one even has ddr5 for 800$ bro

[mint umbra]

on sale

[weak condor]

CL2,000 lol

[stiff lynx]

Honestly for most people, I'd recommend checking out some used pc's on FB marketplace

[craggy cove]

what if they dont

[mint umbra]

I dont count sale prices as its true pricing lmao

[weak condor]

I’m mostly joking, but maybe

[azure topaz]

it’s 16gb, if it’s 2x8 it’s just bad regardless of the bin

it’s probably just some 4800 jedec stuff

[weak condor]

I agree

[mint umbra]

I mean you can make 16gb work

[craggy cove]

then youre an idiot

[azure topaz]

i’m talking like an overclocking perspective since he mentioned cl

[craggy cove]

if it can be had for these prices, why wouldnt you buy them for those prices?

somethings always on sale

[mint umbra]

its holilday sales thats not the true value of hte item

its at reduced value for the holidays

[stiff lynx]

and it is a near all white build for 650

[weak condor]

I mean yeah, maybe. Sales figures are often manipulated, so maybe it’s a real sale. Still worth grabbing a sale if you can.

[azure topaz]

one dollar?

[mint umbra]

I mean I guess but you can just check price history checker

and 900 is still alot higher than some mfs were saying

alot of ppl were saying it was going to be like 500 dollars

[weak condor]

400w PSU might be an issue if you upgrade in the future.

[stiff lynx]

Yeah, but for 650...

[weak condor]

I agree. Good deal

[stiff lynx]

Just gotta do research and find deals on fb marketplace

[weak condor]

Oh yeah, FB and eBay are like my mental illness. I’m always trying to snipe deals and resell my older stuff. It’s how I paid for my 5090 by selling some old components I wasn’t using anymore.

[stiff lynx]

I bought a used dark hero for 200 bucks

[weak condor]

Nice nice.

[stiff lynx]

I have a lot of used parts in the case with my 3060ti and 5800x3d

Which I bought in 2023 for 380 after tax

[weak condor]

Not bad. 2023 was mid GPU price hike iirc

[craggy cove]

that 5800x3d probably went up in value

[stiff lynx]

I bought my 3060ti Founders edition at best buy for MSRP in 2020

tbh this puppy might still be good for another 10 years

[craggy cove]

rocking my 2060 super with a 7500f

[weak condor]

I had a 3060 for a long time as my first GPU. It ran everything great.

[craggy cove]

my 32gb of ddr5 is worth more than my gpu, cpu, mobo combined

[stiff lynx]

I have 32 gigs of ddr4

[craggy cove]

bought mine in late august :o

aliexpress sale was perfectly timed

[weak condor]

I’m so sad. I went down to ITX and had a spare kit of 32gb DDR5 at 6000mt and CL30 and I sold it for like 150. This was maybe 2 weeks before the RAMpocalypse

It hurts man

[craggy cove]

id love an itx build

but the tax is too much for a rat like me

[weak condor]

Same kit was going for 600 now some places

[craggy cove]

why couldnt you reuse it?

oh spare

well eh happens

[sinful cobalt]

Literally waiting for me to decide what platform I want

[weak condor]

The ITX board had only 2 slots ofc.

[weak condor]

Gorgeous

[craggy cove]

youd be running at 5200mhz max anyway

[craggy cove]

core ultra has some pretty sweet deals

[sinful cobalt]

im between 265K or a ARL-R 270K

[weak condor]

Hmmm. I remember being 6000, but maybe I’m forgetting

[sinful cobalt]

I have ram and ssd sitting in the case xd

[azure topaz]

on what?

i don’t think any ddr5 platform is stuck at anything that low unless it’s a laptop

especially if it’s intel you can get quite diabolical frequencies on ddr5

[weak condor]

I was running a 4x16gb DDR5 build, which I know isn’t optimal, but iirc I was able to get it running at 6000

[azure topaz]

it is possible

[weak condor]

Maybe I’m crazy and misremembering. I remember fiddling around in bios quite a while before it worked lol

[azure topaz]

with lots of fafo or just luck

either way yes it is possible

[weak condor]

I’m not the most experienced, but I had barely enough general knowledge to get it working lol

[azure topaz]

5600 is a reasonable target if you have decent dimms and a modernish setup like z790 or better

[craggy cove]

most 4 dimm experiences ive seen havent gone well but ig not

probably applies to higher dimm sizes

[azure topaz]

most people try it once and don’t mess with it

[weak condor]

OC has never been my strong suit lol

[azure topaz]

what board do you have?

[weak condor]

lol I paid for the whole MH, I’m gonna get the whole MH.

Lemme check. It was my old build I no longer have

[azure topaz]

okay fair

[craggy cove]

i should do memory oc with a trash tier asrock b650 and aliexpress micron ram

https://tenor.com/view/jetstream-sam-my-beloved-gif-22029076

[azure topaz]

most of the important gains are possible on any ic

[weak condor]

It was the Aorus B650M Elite AX, if you want the whole government name

[craggy cove]

i tried doing a bit but couldnt manage

[azure topaz]

yeah that could do 6k on 4 dimm for sure you’d just need luck

[craggy cove]

95% sure its a skill issue but still

[azure topaz]

could’ve also been gear 4 or whatever you wanna call it on amd

which would’ve ran provably just quite slowly

[craggy cove]

whos up gearing their 4

[weak condor]

I was always curious because people would comment that 4x16 was generally worse than just two, yet I couldn’t find a difference. I’m sure there is something

[weak condor]

Creepin my cast rn

[azure topaz]

there is

[weak condor]

I know dual channel plays a role, but it’s been quite some time since my A+ studies

[mint umbra]

whats better mint or bazzite

for gaming

really dont care about the rest of the linux bs just use pc for gaming and like web browsing

and discord

[rigid fjord]

bazzite is the better of the 2 for gaming

[last hawk]

use cachyos for gaming if you’re on a desktop

Trust me it’s a way better experience than bazzite

[mint umbra]

Never even heard of that one

[last hawk]

check it out!

[mint umbra]

I mean I would also need one that works well dual booting

[delicate escarp]

I’m wanting to do a custom loop, what are the best brands to get the parts from? I’m planning on getting an alphacool gpu block since that’s the only brand that I could find a block that’d fit my aero 5070ti

[last hawk]

dual booting cachyos and Ubuntu is a common-ish setup for a lot of people

[mint umbra]

idk how dual booting works on diff disctros

[buoyant bridge]

how are they getting below room temp what

only a single core below room temp but hwat

[mint umbra]

is there issues you can run into with dual booting from like windows updates and stuff

[tranquil canyon]

Hello I need pc help, just need to confirm if it's RAM issue

BSOD - "KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE"
Stuck at 0%
Turn off PC and reboot
Same BSOD and message
Go to BIOS
XMP is already off
Reboot and works fine for some time
BSOD again = PFN_LIST_CORRUPT
Reboot again
BSOD = CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED or FAILED idk
Smth about \windows\system32\ntoskrnl.exe messed up

Also my PC uses Kingston ValueRAM and have been using it for a few years now?

[proven mirage]

what ddr are you using for ram

and yes this is probably a ram problem pfn_list_corrupt is a key detail that shows bad or corrupted ram as the windows memory page is corrupted

i’m just asking what ddr you’re using so you can get new ram sticks for cheaper

[rose sorrel]

Anyone used on of there ?

I want to use my case I got for Christmas and it don’t have MagSafe so I am assuming any brand will do

[formal sonnet]

MagSafe is nothing special. It's literally just a metallic sticker. If it's the right dimensions and you position it correctly, it should allow any MagSafe compatible charger to magnetize to whatever the sticker is attached to.

[rose sorrel]

So any brand will be fine right ?

[formal sonnet]

Assuming your phone supports Magnetic charging and your case isn't too thick, yup.

[proven mirage]

by the photo I’m guessing they have a iphone 17 pro max so I think it’ll support magnetic charging

[rose sorrel]

Oh yeah I have 14 pro max

[formal sonnet]

That's just the Amazon listing for the magnetic sticker. I don't see a photo of their phone.

[proven mirage]

i just realized it wasn’t a case

[rose sorrel]

Nah i want a new phone but mines payed for lol prob won’t get for at least 2 more years

[proven mirage]

;-;

[rose sorrel]

Like I did my iPhone 8 I kept it up till it had no more updates

[proven mirage]

i had a 14 plus for a bit and magsafe worked on it so the 14 pro max should work

[rose sorrel]

Prob get. iPhone 21 or 22

When they come out

Prob get 19 or 20

By that point my phone will be 5 years old

[proven mirage]

its basically the same every generation, they admitted they purposely slowed down the software on old phones

also magsafe was (might still be) slightly slower at charging than cables

[rose sorrel]

My phone came out in 22 so it already 3 years old

So by the time 19 gets here it will be 5 about the life time of a iPhone

[agile stag]

do you guys think a combo pc/laptop + electric scooter repair store would have a better shot than either individual failing business

man a general electronics repair store would go crazy

too hard though

[formal sonnet]

It might... if manufacturers were legally required to design products in a sustainable manner.

[agile stag]

i feel like most things are somewhat repairable although i havent been digging into 2025 things yet

im scared of new stuff though and its too expensive anyways

[ivory mountain]

why is roblox a better transient spike test than most dedicated pc programs ts is crazy

[agile stag]

how does it test it

my minifridge does that i think

whenever it turns on/off i can hear it through my headphones tragically

[ivory mountain]

the amount of spikes while random ass effects load is funny as hell, my 6900xt hit 455 watts for 1 second earlier while in a tower defense game

[neon ocean]

Quick vibe check, isn't this a touch.. high in numbers for a single game?
-# Grant it, VRChat is the direct opposite of optimized.

[ivory mountain]

vrchat uses a lot of ram

[agile stag]

hm thats fair hh i wish i could draw that much power i use my pc as a space heater sometimes but i only have a 3060 and 5960x

[rose sorrel]

This how thick my new case is

[agile stag]

i probably cant do more than like 300-400 i bet but it is what it is

one day

[ivory mountain]

yeah i just went to undervolting cause i was tired of seeing it hit 500 watts lmao

[agile stag]

oh also maybe turning on amps does good at that too though uh that sometimes makes my lights flicker depending on which ones

but thats a short load

[swift stream]

ASUS taking their sweet ahh time I see

[agile stag]

one day my pc may draw 500w

i still need to sli 1080tis

[rose sorrel]

How thick my new case is I ordered a MagSafe sticker should I put on inside or out side ?

[agile stag]

better now than a couple years from now

[neon ocean]

Makes sense.. just geeze, I thought 32GB would be enough.

[swift stream]

i usually always get esr cases

[neon ocean]

And I was going to buy more.. UNTIL SOMEONE BOUGHT ALL OF THE SUPPLY UP

[ivory mountain]

cough cough ai buying hbm

[broken palm]

https://www.speedtest.net/my-result/d/e1a2a0bd-55e4-41e5-8df5-22c5b673f795

finally got my hands on fiber

i can say spectrum was definitely shitty now

[ivory mountain]

must be nice

[rose sorrel]

I have MagSafe otterbox but wanted something different for my phone and got for Christmas

[ivory mountain]

im on spectrum as we speak 💔

[broken palm]

they pulled the "we're bringing fiber to your area soon" when i was cancelling, and when i said when they said "within 4 years"

[vale lotus]

How can laptop cooling systems be different other than size and amount of fans

[broken palm]

be fr

[agile stag]

heatsink size with thickness/dimensions/fin density

[ivory mountain]

they charge too much and it goes out so damn much

[rose sorrel]

This my phone I have 2 gb in my house

[agile stag]

material too uh copper is more premium maybe idk but either copper or copper and aluminum from what ive seen

[rose sorrel]

Fiber

[broken palm]

im paying $130/mo for my 2 gig, that comes with the router, professional installation and 2 extenders. 2.5gig wifi 7 on my floor, and 1 gig wifi6 on first and second floor

[agile stag]

some can also have airflow guides or smaller heatsinks integrated into other parts of the heatsink maybe for better cooling but i bet its minimal

[swift stream]

is my speed enough 😔 🥀

[agile stag]

and uh heat pipe number

[broken palm]

they offer 5 gig for 160/mo, but realistically i will never need that and i'd need to buy either a new motherboard or NIC

[agile stag]

and you can also dump heat into the frame if you want especially with an aluminum frame and thermal pads

[broken palm]

Fast af

[agile stag]

thats all ive seen uh theres more too but smaller things or other things that i dont think are as important

[broken palm]

what the hell

att has a built in vpn too... i can set a vpn for any device on my network

[vale lotus]

Thanks I wish people would go more in depth on explaining why some cooling systems are better instead of just case size and amount of fans

Is there a difference between g sync and v sync

Does anyone know of a way to elevate a laptop for better cooling that doesn't look silly and is pratical

[agile stag]

theres reasons but generally all you want is adequate cooling at the end of the day and although some OEMs cant figure that out its generally pretty easy although the newer cpus seem harder to cool axcording to other people

[midnight wind]

Yes

[agile stag]

laptop cooling pad with fans

[midnight wind]

but its complicated

[agile stag]

for cooling though i usually prefer aircooling since im more budget currently but id have a watercooler if i thought my build would look a lot better with one

[vale lotus]

Uhh

I was thinking more of laptops with the cooling situation

[agile stag]

but currently i just have a big red/black dual 120mm cooler on my 5960x and it doesnt really go above like 50-55C under load so i have some oc room but meh

[agile stag]

make sure the current cooling system isnt severely neglected, ptm 7950 may give you an improvement too but it depends on whether or not you already have something comparable

otherwise though a laptop cooling pad is your best reasonable easy bet

[vale lotus]

What about something other than laptop cooling pad

[agile stag]

they make a lot of different styles and theyve been at it for a while ive seen old ones at goodwill

hm uh getting the bottom open is best for it and airflow or even cooler air helps

its just a hot thing with inside airflow that wants to be cool

[vale lotus]

I could have one to keep at home it's just how big they are in public

[agile stag]

but past that uh anything you can figure out might work but benchmarks and checking temps will tell you

[vale lotus]

It's more of an anxiety thing for me

[agile stag]

on my framework i used to cpu% limit to keep it quiet

low clock speeds also achieve that effect but you lose a lot more from what i felt especially if you get stuck at like 900mhz but meh i was spared from that mostly

[vale lotus]

Mhm

[agile stag]

i did eventually get a new laptop though that ran a lot quieter and only a little warmer but with more everything

[vale lotus]

Would you know how many decibels of sound cooling pads create average

[agile stag]

hmm depends on the fans in there

[midnight wind]

hopefully an accurate enough description is that VRR (g-sync or freesync) essentially makes the game drive the monitor refresh cycles, so you don't get jittering or tearing when the game fps drops; while vsync is about synchronizing the pushing of an image to the display with the interval between frames, you don't get tearing

[agile stag]

average id have no idea but you could get one with noctua fans probably(or make one) and you could get another with fans with bad bearings that scream at you when powered

generally though they use cheaper but adequate fans that arent the absolute worst but they probably dont compete with like an arctic p12 or something for example noise-wise

[vale lotus]

Mhm

[buoyant bridge]

I hate whoever made this program

[rose stream]

Wooow, took that long to find it again. Lmao.

[viscid helm]

Can I use 4 of these for 1 device?

It says do not mix with different batteries?

One is 100mAh less power but same brand

[formal sonnet]

So long as they're all the same voltage NiMH batteries, technically, yes, though the device may perform oddly if any of the batteries are more worn out than the others.

Sidebar: that green Duracell NiMH battery is a gooder. (Being made in Japan, it's highly likely a Panasonic Eneloop.)

[viscid helm]

Yes, both NiMh is 1.2v thanks for the information

[viscid helm]

Good to know, I’ll get that one next time if I needed more

[peak knot]

the reason they say dont mix is to prevent people mixing new and dead batteries

where the good one might try to recharge the dead non rechargable battery and cause issues

[viscid helm]

While being on device?

Charging them at the same time with the same charger is fine though, right?

[agile stag]

from what i know about 18650 chargers i would say probably but you should still do it outside if you can

[random gyro]

sup

[prisma adder]

Hmmm yes

[ivory mountain]

W cooler

[prisma adder]

Indeed

[wise quarry]

I currently use OEM AMD cooler. Should I buy this https://www.newegg.com/razer-liquid-cooling-system/p/N82E16835837007?item=N82E16835837007 or the peerless assassin?

[proper gull]

Definitely not the razer lol

So you have a temperature problem?

[agile stag]

30 is pretty cheap id be satisfied with it as long as it doesnt leak

razer definitely isnt my brand of choice though but uh last time i checked 240mm aios are pricier than that so the deal might not be bad

[viscid helm]

Pretty much fine I guess

[split laurel]

Is it a bad idea to oc my 14700k to 5.8ghz im currently running 5.7ghz steadily

[prisma adder]

Thermalright 120 e is a good cooler top notch just depends on what you are cooling

Peerless assassin 120 e

[sinful cobalt]

you probably wont even get any relevant performance with a 0.1ghz diff

[fickle ivy]

Wtf????

This is unlocked correct?

Amazing

[formal sonnet]

Sounds like it's time to replace the SD card.

[fickle ivy]

Literally just started using it today :/

Just spent 7 hours copying like 60gb of files off of jt

Tried another one, also said it was locked

[formal sonnet]

Then it might be the camera.

[fickle ivy]

Okay it was my micro SD card, not the adapter

Didn't know that could even happen, guess I have to use a 256gb one

[formal sonnet]

Everything wears out eventually... just a matter of time. Sometimes shorter than longer.

[fickle ivy]

Guess I shouldn't have trusted this

[tranquil canyon]

Not entirely sure but it's probably like ddr4 ram

Mb for late reply, lowk forgot

[ripe sierra]

Random question, if my mechanical keyboard is having with double pressing and lack of pressing what would you recommend be done? Using a contact cleaner? I've had it only for 2-3 years

[tranquil canyon]

Your switches are probably getting worn out or something

I think you can buy replacements online for cheap? I'm pretty sure mechanical keyboard things are less expensive now

[ripe sierra]

It's a keychron v1 keyboard so hot swappable and I can get new switches

I think I've isolated the issue to the switches. But how do I tell that apart from just maybe debree in the switches?

[tranquil canyon]

It's usually not likely for dirt to get into switches since they're like.. Tightly fitted to the parts

I've had it happen to my switches so it's nothing to worry about unless the entire board isn't working

[ripe sierra]

Alright thanks. That saves me time on a solution that doesn't work I guess.
Damn 2-3 years is so short though. I had my last keyboard for 10 years.

[tranquil canyon]

Was the other one not mechanical or something

[keen folio]

I finally completed my new setup (the cat) 🐈 😂

[neon bobcat]

One of the three places for cat.

ALso respect to the H9 Flow. We have the same case 🙂

er wait....that is the H9 Flow isn't it

[keen folio]

It’s not the H9 flow. It’s the Light Base 900 DX

[neon bobcat]

I...second guessed it

[keen folio]

You were close.

[neon bobcat]

It looks alot like it, my mind autofilled it with my own (I have the H9) and its 3am XD

[proven mirage]

mind checking?

[keen folio]

I just need either a new 360mm AiO or a cheap 120mm rad for the one fan there.

[neon bobcat]

I also need an AIO.

[keen folio]

Cuz the 240mm works just fine for the 5800x3D I got in there. Somehow.

[proven mirage]

I love the cat

[keen folio]

Same.

[proven mirage]

I have a cat bed for my cat right on my desk next to where I sit

[neon bobcat]

I mean I'm using the Wraith Prism on a 5800XT and its shockingly fine.

[keen folio]

I can’t afford that on a 120cm desk qwq. I still live with my mom and my room is like. 6 square meters.

[neon bobcat]

(yes i know i need to get something beefier. Its on the long list of stuff I can't afford rn)

[keen folio]

Don’t mind the mess please. Today is cleanup day.

[neon bobcat]

I live in a camper. But my cat is very fat and doesnt like to jump up that high. She prefers my lap, keyboard, or bed

[proven mirage]

also what case is that?

[neon bobcat]

Light Base 900 DX

(they said it :P)

[keen folio]

Be quiet Light Base 900 DX with fake Lian Li Unifans

[proven mirage]

I’m using the h9 flow but it wont fit my gpu in width

[neon bobcat]

OKAY NOW respect to a fellow H9 Flow owner

[keen folio]

oof, get a 180° 12VHP Adapter. then its gonna fit

[neon bobcat]

What case is that GPU meant for!?!?! The H9 is huge both ways

[proven mirage]

5090 astral…

[neon bobcat]

I would probably verticle mount that at that point

[neon bobcat]

Jesus.

[keen folio]

ffs i can fit the 5090 astral in mine twice width wise

[proven mirage]

I do blender work and a lot of coding

[neon bobcat]

I'm kind of happy im several gens behind of GPUs. At least they're still small-ish (I just got a used 6800XT for a good price. I also had a 3060Ti 8GB before that. And an Arc A750. I swap alot and they're all kind of terrible :P)

[neon bobcat]

I mean...fair.

[proven mirage]

i wont need to upgrade for like 10 years now

[neon bobcat]

THe H9 is huge. How large is yours, it looked similar in your picture

[proven mirage]

I also made gemini do this

[neon bobcat]

I mean fair. I was scoping a 9070XT but then the Rampololypse started.

Granted, i probably still might

[keen folio]

btw guys. i need a new gpu for video editing. my 7800XT is dying. Warranty claim was rejected due to the Serial Number and type number sticker missing (i wiped it away on accident with isopropyl). ive been looking at the 4080, since 50 series wont do me any good with me having only a 5800x3D and pcie4.0. is it still a good choice?

[proven mirage]

I bought an open box version so it was like 500 bucks cheaper

[neon bobcat]

Is that...legal?

[proven mirage]

it is sadly

[neon bobcat]

Also how's it dying? Could it be repaired?

[keen folio]

sadly yes, cuz the sticker was the warranty seal at the same time...

[neon bobcat]

Warranty seals aren't generally legal (in the US).

And the serial should exist in other areas.

[keen folio]

Main Chip is dying. i dont get the furmark scores i should get. its like its been mined on for years

[tranquil canyon]

Like by opening uo my PC?

[keen folio]

im in germany. here they are semi legal

[proven mirage]

look in bios

[tranquil canyon]

Oh

[neon bobcat]

Dang.

[proven mirage]

if it still runs for a bit of course

[keen folio]

yeah it does. but the sticker covered a screw. and since its been removed and or damaged, they can void your warranty

[winter lantern]

Bro just wasting its time 🥀

[keen folio]

im able to return the card to the seller (amazon) tho, so thats a good thing. i need a new gpu first tho

[proven mirage]

4070 ti works well

[gaunt spade]

these are 16gb each right and what does 1rx8 mean

[neon bobcat]

I would see what you could score for a used replace 7000-series AMD, 9000-series AMD, or 40-series Nvidia. Kind of depends what you're doing with it tho. I'm personally just hoping my 6800XT I just got will hold up through the apocolypse (I just play Minecraft and a few other light games so it should be more than enough)

[hollow mulch]

is this the thing ram prices went up by 200% for?

[neon bobcat]

Can the Amazon seller do a direct replacement?

[keen folio]

i need at minimum 16 gigs of vram. the 4070ti only has 12

[keen folio]

Card aint no more in stock. so sadly no

[keen folio]

also i love playing games. and cod and battlefield pull atleast 13 gigs at max settings

[neon bobcat]

I'd look at AMD for that. The Nvidias from what I know (im very team red, bias disclosure :P) tend to have less VRAM for a worst price.

[proven mirage]

I dont mind the price

[tranquil canyon]

Its DDR4, it's like the max tier my motherboard supports

Whats the DDR numbers called anyway???

[neon bobcat]

I know very few motherboards that can support multiple generations of DDR 😛

[gaunt spade]

this is 16gb sticks right?

[winter lantern]

Probably 32 because 16 aint a Flex

[tranquil canyon]

O

[neon bobcat]

The Generation (3, 4, 5 etc) or the Megatransfers (MT/s)

[keen folio]

Yeah ik. but ive been fixated on the nvidia cards lately after i was able to test out the 5070ti. which got like triple the fps in the games ive been playing mainly. (COD, Battlefield, THE FINALS and co).

[tranquil canyon]

Its like the Gigabyte B450M DS3H (idk what the DS3H means)

[neon bobcat]

Thats just the model number.

[keen folio]

its just the model number

[tranquil canyon]

O

[keen folio]

the B450 is the one ur looking for. altough i would recommend atleast a b550, since that one still gets updates like bios updates

[neon bobcat]

Gigabyte [Brand] B450M [Chipset and/or Series] DS3H [model]

[keen folio]

my old b450 ASUS ROG is EOL.

[neon bobcat]

Most b450's are/ B550 is the last series to do AM4 tho.

[tranquil canyon]

I'll probably upgrade it later on once I have like more money

[keen folio]

didnt even get the FTPM update for cod or battlefield on my B450. and its been months

[tranquil canyon]

I'm planning on upgrading GPU, RAM, PSUA, AND CASE first

[keen folio]

not to mention the B350 i still got here lol

[neon bobcat]

So...B550 is a great choice 😛 It tends to be really similarly priced to B450 rn and commonly has some better features like PCIe4/5 and WiFi 6, 6E or 7

[gaunt spade]

what

[hollow mulch]

just get a new pc atp

[neon bobcat]

I think I just replaced my last B450 board after it died (it now hangs on my wall)

[winter lantern]

Nothing to question

[keen folio]

Do you have a particular budget in mind?

[tranquil canyon]

It's basically a new PC

[keen folio]

also what parts do you already have

[neon bobcat]

I MEAN a real flex is me having 128GB in both my NAS and PC)

[proven mirage]

I have 96gb 6000 (64gb 6000, and 32gb 6000)

[keen folio]

Ayyy gimme some qwq

[tranquil canyon]

I already know what I wanna buy (kind of), but my budget is like(30000 PHP) 600 USD? I think it's equal to 550, idrk convertion rates

[keen folio]

i only got ECC memory here which is useless to me.. even tho its 64gigs

[neon bobcat]

Mine are all DDR4 😛 Yours is cooler there 😛

[tranquil canyon]

I already know I'll probably be buying the RX6600 for GPU, i don't plan on playing beyond 1080p

[neon bobcat]

Nu. Mine. (If it helps, I do not use it for AI. I just really like VMs and it was cheap for a bit.).

One set is Corsair Vengance 3600MT/s and the other is Crucial 3200MT/s (iirc).

[keen folio]

go for the 6700xt, its only a bit more expensive and has much more performance

[proven mirage]

also should I get a new case since the cable is pressing against the glass whenever I put it on

[tranquil canyon]

67

[keen folio]

no.

[neon bobcat]

It's probably fine. Does any air try to exhaust there?

[keen folio]

i have words on my mind which would get me banned.

[tranquil canyon]

Idrk know if I need the performance tbh..

[winter lantern]

Lowkey dont get the point im getting a gpu worse than current gen
Unless your like in a broke country or something

[keen folio]

trust me. its worth it.

[neon bobcat]

No. Stop it.

[tranquil canyon]

Is it more effecient?

[keen folio]

ive been there. had the 6600. went with the 6700xt after a few weeks and loved it

[tranquil canyon]

Like power consumption

[keen folio]

FPS per watt, yes.

[winter lantern]

But 67

[proven mirage]

the cable gets tilted slightly making the gpu not have power

[tranquil canyon]

Plus like I'm running a dogshit ass GPU (the gt710), anything is a big upgrade for me

[proven mirage]

no

[winter lantern]

Ts a good reason

[neon bobcat]

As someone with a 6600 (nonXT but..eh) it's a great card for some things, but unless you get a really good price, i'd shoot for a 6700XT or 6800XT. You can find both for a couple hundred bucks rn

[gaunt spade]

very helpful

[neon bobcat]

imma be honest, I didn't follow the thread to even find what the original question was 🙂

[keen folio]

RX6600 uses about 130 Watts. RX6700XT about 200 to 230

[neon bobcat]

Hmmmmmmmm....I would look into it then.

[tranquil canyon]

I cant really find it in any PC stores in my country, the 6600 is like the only one i can easily find

[keen folio]

try to buy used if possible.

[neon bobcat]

You might have to do some Ebaying. There not current cards anymore (2? gens behind)

[proven mirage]

I’m thinking of a h9 flow 2025 as I have a h9 flow 2024 which is smaller

[neon bobcat]

You'll also get a much better price

[neon bobcat]

That could work! Esspecially if it's not venting out that side, you just need a bit more space.

[winter lantern]

Ebay is overpriced marketplace is where u get stuff

[neon bobcat]

I don't know the specs of the 2025 one tho

[tranquil canyon]

Is anyone here Filipino?? I gotta know if buying used crap is fine here

[neon bobcat]

I was comparing to mainstore. But both marketplace, and ebay, have there good and bad deals

Then again! I am in the mainland US soooooooo that could change things

[winter lantern]

Is a 6700xt for 200 good

[neon bobcat]

Yes.

[keen folio]

look, the 6700XT is like a 1000 bucks new rn (dont ask me why) lol used its about 200

[keen folio]

yes

[neon bobcat]

Rampocolypse, and scalping 🙂

[keen folio]

was like that even before that lol

been like that for a few months now

[tranquil canyon]

That's only happening to DDR5 right

[keen folio]

no

[neon bobcat]

It affects everything

[tranquil canyon]

[keen folio]

everything with RAM on it.

[neon bobcat]

But the 6000-series of cards were hit by alot of scalping and GPU prices haven't been right since like 2020

[tranquil canyon]

FML

[keen folio]

i mean, AI is nice and all, but screw AI if i cant even upgrade my pc...

[neon bobcat]

AI is terrible in 90% of applications and I hate it more if I can't upgrade my PC

[keen folio]

i was lucky and got my 6700xt for 130 bucks back in 2023.

[gaunt spade]

im crine

[winter lantern]

Neither its just old and not in stock or produced

[neon bobcat]

I believe not to many "new" 6000-series exist in stores because of the scalping that happened though

[tranquil canyon]

I'll probably just get the 6600 atp, the 67XT too power hungry for me

[neon bobcat]

It is also double the VRAM iirc

(8 vs 16 iirc)

[gaunt spade]

6600 has 8 and 6700xt 12

[neon bobcat]

7?

[gaunt spade]

typo

[neon bobcat]

Was gonna say lol

[tranquil canyon]

8 vram is miles more than 2 vram.

[gaunt spade]

what do u have

[neon bobcat]

I was about to go find my 6600 and confirm XD

[tranquil canyon]

GT710

🥀

[keen folio]

just get this and it will fit.

[gaunt spade]

🥲🥲🥲

[sour storm]

Sooo one side of the ram heatspreader seems to have detached from the ram what do i do

[gaunt spade]

fire hazard

[livid fern]

[keen folio]

not if you buy a proper one

[winter lantern]

What even is that port for

[neon bobcat]

I was also thinking this might work.

[gaunt spade]

always a fire hazard

[keen folio]

12 VHP from NVIDIA

[livid fern]

There is a reason why cablemod recalled these back

[keen folio]

The entire connector is a bad idea. and i mean the one from nvidia. they shouldve stuck with the 8pin

[tranquil canyon]

Ok bye, thank you stinkys for tech help

[livid fern]

Just buy the 90° connector or 180°
Corsair offers both
Cablemod offers 90° cables

[neon bobcat]

I also would be hesitant to mess with that connector tho. Honestly a big reason I still refuse to consider NVidia. AMD and Intel both still use the tried and tested 6+2

[winter lantern]

But like what would you use that for is it supposed to be an adapter

[keen folio]

yes. either for asthetics or if you need something to make it fit ur case

[sour storm]

Also happy holidays

[keen folio]

well, the 9070xt uses the same connector afaik

[winter lantern]

Its much easier to use 1 cable then 3 cables

[sour storm]

Do i just super glue it shut

[keen folio]

3 cables are without a fire hazard tho.

[livid fern]

Nvidia didnt create it
It was made by PCIE-SIG who required it on the gpus
Indeed Dell and Nvidia were the sponsors

[hollow mulch]

why do yall get to have christmas and my country only celebrates new year

[neon bobcat]

I had to check. Some do. Some don't.

[keen folio]

fair

[hollow mulch]

unfair

[livid fern]

Taichi and nitro use 12v-2x6

[winter lantern]

A Most use the 8

[neon bobcat]

Trust me. Christmas is less fun as an adult without kids.

So i wouldnt buy a Sapphire 9070XT 😛

[keen folio]

but still. yeah the 9070xt doesnt use 600w, so there is absolutely no fire risk. it wont even draw enough power to melt anything.

[winter lantern]

Tbh if a gpu uses the 8 it doesn't fit in my psu if theres more than 2

[hollow mulch]

its still a holiday

[neon bobcat]

That's also fair. I haven't heard of them catching on fire yet either so maybe they don't run all the power through one pin 😛

[keen folio]

just use a SATA to 8pin

[neon bobcat]

more labor nowadays. Then again i'm fair from religious and not a family person. I also don't believe in being jolly for just one month to be cool. Be happy every day 🙂 ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[winter lantern]

You can technically use any gpu with an 850w psu besides a 5090

[neon bobcat]

I will use an LTT Screwdriver in ways you've never seen before if you ever suggest that again. < hopefully obv /s>

[livid fern]

Wat

[keen folio]

its not about the psu, its about the power draw of the gpu

[keen folio]

xDDD

[livid fern]

U can use a good 850w psu with 5090 as long as it isnt 14900k basically

But as we say if u have money for a 5090 u have money for a good 1000w psu

[winter lantern]

I thought a 4090 was pushing it and that a 5090 used more

[keen folio]

help my cat loves my hands. keeps scratching me while im typing xD

[hollow mulch]

idgaf about jolly i just dont wanna go anywhere

[neon bobcat]

Oh. That's fair.

[frigid blade]

kpot during christmas, mmmmm

[winter lantern]

850w was 130$ 🥀

[livid fern]

[hollow mulch]

and yall get to do it for 2 more days if my calculations are correct

[neon bobcat]

Nvidia really said: let's run all the voltage through the same backing, and have the connectors never line up right so too much power goes through all the other cables! FIRE!

[keen folio]

this looks and sounds like waterdamage to happen.

[winter lantern]

The plat 1300w one i had killed itself after 3 years so seasonic is a bad brand

[neon bobcat]

(I don't know what AMDs implementation is)

[neon bobcat]

What's special about it compared to normal AIOs

[winter lantern]

Notice it doesn't happen anymore because nobody has a 5090 thats stupid

[livid fern]

Everything can die
What 1300w psu was it

[keen folio]

Price, brand ive NEVER heard of, it looks extremely cheap (which it is)

[frigid blade]

the water cooling is direct water to cpu instead of through heatsink

[neon bobcat]

OH

[winter lantern]

It was a- on the tierlist

[keen folio]

also seller is some weird chinese chinchong thingymading

[neon bobcat]

I hate it. Honestly at that price just buy the smaller corsair ones that are like 70 bucks

[livid fern]

Platinum PX

[frigid blade]

the aio i got for free i am very happy with

[winter lantern]

Mhm

[frigid blade]

i love free stuff

[winter lantern]

So true

My gpu was free but I had to pay shipping

12$ for a 1650 super so tuff

[neon bobcat]

SeaSonic has like a 10 year warranty don't they? Did you reach out to them about it? I've only heard good things (tho I've never had a seasonic myself)

[winter lantern]

Didn't buy it

[neon bobcat]

was it an asus tuff card

i'll see myself out.

[frigid blade]

he couldnt figure out RMA on 4090 wont figure it out on PSU

[keen folio]

xD

[winter lantern]

Ik they did not do a 1650 🥀

[winter lantern]

Evga

[frigid blade]

im not letting go the broken 4090 ragebait

[neon bobcat]

....I think you missed my joke.

[winter lantern]

I didnt

[neon bobcat]

or elected to ignore it. Which is fair.

[keen folio]

ya'll think this is a good idea? xD

[winter lantern]

Its still under warranty 🥱

[neon bobcat]

No 😛

[frigid blade]

jungle leopard

[keen folio]

i kinda want an LCD screen on my aio, but im too cheap to buy a 300€ aio xD

[neon bobcat]

Esspecially at that price, just go Corsair ICUE, or...literally anything else XD

[winter lantern]

Yeah idk what you expect me to do if I didnt buy the gpu

[frigid blade]

german looks so funny

or whatever german like lanuguage that is

[keen folio]

it got 4.5 stars at 122 reviews, but who knows how many are bought xD

[neon bobcat]

This is a hard part of modern commerce. Warranties can be a pain when transfered between people and it can heavily depend on the company your working with if it will be honored or not.

[frigid blade]

we went over it with him, he just rage baited the whole time

[neon bobcat]

For the amount of damage that could cause, I wouldn't risk it.

[winter lantern]

Sounds like common sense that it wouldn't

[keen folio]

yeaah im with you xD

[winter lantern]

I wasn't ragebaiting i was just replying to everyone

[neon bobcat]

Some countries actually require that warranties be applied to the product, not the buyer and it has to transfer. I would at least try. The worst they tell you is no.

[frigid blade]

hes doing it again

[neon bobcat]

Then again.....it could also be a hidden gem

[frigid blade]

#tech-chat-1 message

this is where we went over it

theyre just purposefully incompetent

[keen folio]

Yknow what. I’m gonna go for it. Check it out on my old test bench. And depending on how it performs either send it back or build it into my pc

[neon bobcat]

You are legally required to tell me how it goes

[winter lantern]

Read the whole thing it said I dont need proof of perchance

[keen folio]

Ofc.

[winter lantern]

Gpt said so 🥺

[neon bobcat]

That means they...dont require a proof of purchase? Which means they're more likely to do it............

[winter lantern]

Clock is ticking

[winter lantern]

You think they'd say so on this page right

[neon bobcat]

https://tenor.com/view/linus-tech-tips-lttstoredotcom-ltt-gif-22583738

[neon bobcat]

Have you actually talked to their support, or are you just going off of terms and conditions?

[winter lantern]

Nah I didnt

[neon bobcat]

:/

So instead of just asking their support if there's anything they can do, with the worst they can say is no, you'd rather just...let your 800 dollar card not get replaced?

i mean...to each their own....but...that's pretty dumb.

[frigid blade]

maybe they changed it, this is what it used to say

[neon bobcat]

even then, alot of times they don't go by that exact policy and its generally just their for their own legal protection.

[frigid blade]

$800? they dropped that low?

[neon bobcat]

Literally doesn't hurt to just....check in with them.

Idk it was a complete guess.

[frigid blade]

ah

[neon bobcat]

You get my point!

[frigid blade]

yah it never hurts to actually talk to them, its not like support knows their own terms

[winter lantern]

They just work there

[frigid blade]

escalate until you can get some info

[neon bobcat]

...except its literally their job to determine this...

[winter lantern]

Yeah ik

Seems pretty important

[frigid blade]

oh i was thinking support as in the initial contact and then they escalate with whoever actually deals with RMA

[onyx fractal]

Nice, will get 14 TB for 50€

[frigid blade]

where

[onyx fractal]

Contacts

[frigid blade]

bruh'

[neon bobcat]

I mean I would just reach out to support and see where it goes. It doesn't even sound like they did that.

[onyx fractal]

Ok, jokes aside from a crypto miner my dad knows

[neon bobcat]

wait...SSD, HDD, Cloud space?

[frigid blade]

they didnt, and never will

[onyx fractal]

HDD obviously, SSD would be stupidly expensive

[frigid blade]

chia moment\

[stray portal]

Yes!! DO THIS

[neon bobcat]

I mean...if its used in mining, I would make sure it checks out SMART wise and probably never put important data on it 😛

https://tenor.com/view/ltt-linus-linus-tehc-linus-tech-tips-poggersepic-gif-23430099

[winter lantern]

Robbing a crypto farm would be so peak

So many gpus

[onyx fractal]

Well, according to him it was only used once or sumthing, not over a longer period of time, so

[neon bobcat]

Actually HDDs don't generally get a ton of use in mining do they?

[frigid blade]

depends what farm, youre not gonna do much with ASICs

[neon bobcat]

I mean any used HDD im skeptical of, but it's probably okay

[stray portal]

I had issues with a monitor and the shitty company took it, didnt even check if it was broken and just told me it wasnt (2 times) and then they were just holding my monitor and wouldnt give it back and they tried to force me to pay them to return it

[winter lantern]

Overclocking the hdd so it spins faster

[frigid blade]

If it has to do with storage based "mining", its just anonymized data stored on your drive, how much use you get I have no clue

[neon bobcat]

Turning my 7200RPM drive into a 15k one. [Everything goes wrong]

[stray portal]

I told them that what they are doing is infact illegal and that if i wanted to i can wasily report them to consumer's protection

And they instantly gave me it back

[neon bobcat]

Interesting. (I never got into mining or cared about it 😛 I just knew it made stuff expensive XD)

[frigid blade]

I dabbled for a while, it's not worth it if its something like that (at least not anymore)

I watch from a distance, not really active

Theres some interesting advancements in the space

[onyx fractal]

Besides, it was used way less than what you'd find in storage servers, a few weeks at most

[neon bobcat]

I mean that aside, most companies are shockingly chill sometimes. It never hurts to just reach out, explain the situation, and see what they do.

[gaunt spade]

gonna buy 96gb of ddr5 laptop ram for 110$

[frigid blade]

where

[neon bobcat]

I've considered folding@home just to feel like im helping something. Which isnt mining but seems in the same realm. By the time I would've cared about mining it was already not worth it XD

[neon bobcat]

where, and can I have a bit?

Get it...bit like data....and my name.....

I'll leave (again).

[gaunt spade]

local

[gaunt spade]

hilarious

[gaunt spade]

no i need ram

[onyx fractal]

Yes

[neon bobcat]

I'm 90% sure you're being sarcastic, but i'm choicing to believe the 10% chance that you genuinly enjoyed my dad-tier joke.

[gaunt spade]

should i be a prick and sell it for like 500$

[neon bobcat]

https://tenor.com/view/star-wars-obi-wan-anakin-gif-22039861

[gaunt spade]

what a find tho

[frigid blade]

just use it for desktop

[gaunt spade]

thats what im gonna do

[neon bobcat]

I mean youre in the phase of the RAMpocolupse where people probably don't know that the price is inflating yet.

A few good deals will still exist for a bit.

[gaunt spade]

imma use the laptop to desktop converter thing

yes exactly

[onyx fractal]

Me too

[gaunt spade]

[gaunt spade]

8945hx

16core

[neon bobcat]

MiniPCs nowadays are lit.

[gaunt spade]

but if i get this mobo i gotta get a small case so a small gpu

so less performance wich i dont like

[frigid blade]

the new iGPUs are pretty fast

I think its 1650 perfromance

[gaunt spade]

u mean 8060s?

or 780m

[frigid blade]

890m

[gaunt spade]

780m is better then 1650
and 8060s is nearly 4060 performance

[gaunt spade]

those are nearly the same as 780 iirc

[frigid blade]

nah im pretty sure quite faster

like close to 20%

[gaunt spade]

still slow compared to 8060s

[frigid blade]

yah well it gets much more power so makes sense

[gaunt spade]

im getting a flow x13 soon with a 3050ti i wish it had thw 8060s

3050ti at 35 watts is ahhh

[winter lantern]

The skipped the 60-70 series to the 80

Crazy

[gaunt spade]

what

6000 series rx exists

and 7000 one gpu i think

8060s is integrated

[stray portal]

Is that even a thing

[gaunt spade]

what?

8060s or 3050ti

[rigid fjord]

you'd be better off robbing an ai farm

[winter lantern]

But those are owned by big companies

[rigid fjord]

this is an 880m which is just a 780m rebadged, they still amount to equalling a 1060(3g)/1650 where as the latest igpu aka the 8060s is equal to a 3060

[stray portal]

Both

[gaunt spade]

yes?

[gaunt spade]

8060s is integrated graphica and 3050 ti is dedicated for laptop

[rigid fjord]

they both exist

[stray portal]

3050 ti 😞

[gaunt spade]

yep

[north loom]

i love gaming on arm

[winter lantern]

Is this game w

Someone doesn’t like this decade very much

[fickle ivy]

Best wrist rest ever

[obsidian urchin]

Hello people

[obsidian urchin]

Hello rauko how we doin

Im sure this is the billionth time its been mentioned on the server but

God dammit those ram prices

😭

Im so sad the 5700x3d are almost as high as 7800x3d on the used market now. Its so sad ):

[white sphinx]

The problem with legacy platforms i guess

[winter lantern]

Well everyone says its a beast

And ddr4 is more relevant than ever

[azure topaz]

it’s literally just because people feel the need to scalp it, kinda how it’s always been with the am4 x3d cpus, generally the top end sku for whatever platform ends up moderately expensive comparatively

[azure topaz]

the fact people would still willingly pay for them is what makes me sad

[white sphinx]

Feeding the scalpers

[obsidian urchin]

Yeah... instead of trying to go for x3d anymore

I think ill just fo for a 5600 and just wait until I have to move platform

[quasi moat]

5090
9800x3d
32gb cl28 6000 royal trident

I should do stocks instead

[azure topaz]

you clearly predicted the ram crisis true

[obsidian urchin]

Oh my christ

Prices have gone UP a little bit.

Fudgity fudge fudge

[azure topaz]

5600 shouldn’t be very much money. buy one used or consider like a 5500 or something

[obsidian urchin]

Yeah on the used market thwy are over £110 on ebay I remember seeing some for less than that a while ago. Ill just have to get gritty on fb marketplace

[azure topaz]

110 is a lot but i think thats basically what ive seen them going for the last couple months

[quasi moat]

https://youtu.be/vuvckBQ1bME?si=w0-rnMmfciq0FVGS

Be a man

[obsidian urchin]

The ROI is becoming better and better as the scalpers ruin ze markets

im crossposting but cry about it ddr5 9000 c38

I make a decent gingerbread house tho

[white sphinx]

Yes i want to listen to my harddrive

[azure topaz]

yes i want you to listen to your hard drive

[obsidian urchin]

Oh wait. I have a b450

Im gonna have to do the dreaded bios update

[obsidian urchin]

What would it even say

[azure topaz]

awful sounds
