no man it would be tweakin

[obsidian urchin]

I mean who isnt a little mentally unstable nowadays, thanks to those dam ram prices

[rigid fjord]

Sup dude, and yeah they be something

[rigid fjord]

Mine would just say " fuck, fuck, fuckity, fuck, fuck"

[fallow yacht]

sup nerds

what did i miss

[viral valve]

Is Intel core i9 12900k good for $200?

Might’ve found a deal but not sure

[odd kestrel]

When did Windows ISO get so large?

[viral kayak]

is 150 bucks a good price for a mobo with wifi?

wifi6E

[azure topaz]

always basically

mid to end of windows 10 ig

[odd kestrel]

I'm used to Linux but I heard intel gpus support for linux is rudimentary so I'm abt to make switch back to windows 11. Was thinking Win10 LTSC but rudimentary support for it

[patent urchin]

I bought a new GPU and a new psu , I tried to install psu myself I could even take out the cables out of the psu back despite being fully modular

I decided to send it to my uncle who is an experienced IT instead

[frail sequoia]

Windows 10 iso is like 5 or 6gb and I wanted to install it to one of my 90ish blank DVDs

Also on Linux you need to use ventoy to install windows I think

It’s what I had to do

[stray portal]

how do i check my monitiors vesa size

i want to buy a moniitor arm

[clear canyon]

Merry Christmas eve everyone

[stray portal]

tyy merry christmas too

[clear canyon]

I have the perfect Christmas weather currently, its 70 fucking degrees and humid 🥲

[frail sequoia]

its damp and sunny where i am in scotland

its also like 2 celcius

[stray portal]

im so lucky in my area it hasnt snowed for christmas in years

[clear canyon]

Same

Its very foggy so everything is damp

[stray portal]

and today it finally started snowing it will be like 7 cm

[clear canyon]

Lucky

[frail sequoia]

temp monitor fix btw, my 2007 panasonic tv thats 32" and blurry-ish

[clear canyon]

Its been over 15 years since it snowed on Christmas at my area

[stray portal]

For us the winter happens in spring, and then spring just doesnt exist

[frail sequoia]

its never snowed ON christmas where i am but it has snowed around christmas

[stray portal]

And then fall is just sometimes extended summer

[clear canyon]

Its only snowed in January here and even thats rare

[clear canyon]

Same ngl

Then next day its 32 degrees

[iron glen]

we just got that recently

here atleast the seasons go
fall(without the pretty leaves); spring; summer; fall

last winter i remember it really was winter

hit -40 at one point

thermometer might have been tweaking tho it was very old

[novel grove]

Quick question, if i pick sticks of ram for the kingston fury, do i have a good brand or is it worse than some other brands? I'm saying this because i might upgrade my pc by just changing the ram and mobo (my 12400f can hold ddr5 so its fine)

If its a yes i might just ask my mother on christmas

[versed sonnet]

Boot light on mobo is green but I’ve got no display, anyone help?

[iron glen]

kingston is fine from my experience
idk if the avoid corsair ram still applies

[novel grove]

Ok

[iron glen]

the lower the cl the better, idk what the mhz measures so idk if higher or lower is better

rn i'd look for cl30 cz ram is expensive

but thats js me im sure someone else has a better idea/advice

[novel grove]

I found a deal tho on this, thats why i'm asking my mom for this, i only ask the ram because rn with how expensive it is, it could be really worth it

[ornate harbor]

My parents are spoiling me

[iron glen]

personally i'd wait but you do you

[novel grove]

Wow goddamn thats a great gift

[novel grove]

230, the others are more expensive

[ornate harbor]

Yeah I still have a AM4 CPU but upgrading GPU is Smarter

[iron glen]

damn

wish i could get ram that cheap

[novel grove]

I'm saying this because my ram is kind of acting up recently, discord having bugs, gifs playback having black squares

[broken trellis]

Never been more relieved to have built my stuff last year

[novel grove]

Also youtube acting up having green rectangles

[novel grove]

Thats why i'm asking my mom

If she says yes, imma buy it

[ornate harbor]

Dawg

[iron glen]

lwk regretting not building my stuff this year

[novel grove]

Gonna search for the mobo as well

https://fr.alternate.be/MSI/MAG-Z790-TOMAHAWK-WIFI-carte-mère-socket-1700/html/product/1871432 ok, i think i found the perfect mobo for the new ram

Almost same price as the ram i found but holy hell i think i found a good mobo

Is it a good one?

7 sata slots is something i didnt expected as i have a lot of sata ssd's (i currently have 4 atm, 3 ssd's and 1 bluray optical drive)

[daring scaffold]

Just waiting on the GPU now

[versed ingot]

are these scores alright for my i5-12400F that i locked onto 8 watts?

[kindred halo]

Great looking IO, great looking PCIe ports (4x 4x4 M.2s, PCIe 5.0 x16 primary port), WiFi 6E, yeah this is great

[frigid blade]

Lacking lanes, is that bottom slot x16 in x4 mode?

[grizzled frost]

where do you want them to pull the pcie lanes? the CPU only provides so many lanes

[versed ingot]

guys?

[twin shuttle]

About moca adapters would the first adapter be plugged into router and coax and the other side be plugged into another device connected to a different coax?

[grizzled frost]

has to be a single coax cable between the adapters

[craggy cove]

its 8 watts idk why you want performance

[frigid blade]

No where I’m just pointing out it’s lacking lanes in the 2nd x16 slot

[craggy cove]

performs like a haswell i5 now

[versed ingot]

i was just testing it for fun but are those scores cool

[twin shuttle]

It can’t be plugged into the the connector that terminates to the rest of the coaxes in the house?

[grizzled frost]

the phrasing indicates a problem, but there isn't a single board that has dual pcie x16 electrical slots on LGA 1700

[frigid blade]

I was thinking x8

I don’t think any board has dual x16 with more than 2nvme slots

[grizzled frost]

There isn't any board that has dual x16, full stop

[frigid blade]

890 either

[grizzled frost]

at most you get dual x8

[frigid blade]

Yah 8/8/4 is the most I’ve seen

[grizzled frost]

in this case it is indeed x4 electrical on that bottom x16 slot

Correct, because there is only so many PCIE lanes from the CPU

[kindred halo]

Okay wow, found something unusual
2x8GB of Spectrix D45G DDR4.. 4133MHz, for $77?

[grizzled frost]

it can

[kindred halo]

Aw, that's a bummer

[grizzled frost]

there just isn't enough PCIe lanes from the CPU to do that

at least on consumer platforms

[frigid blade]

I mean, kinda, 44 lanes with Z890

[grizzled frost]

No

[frigid blade]

How much of those are usable?

[versed ingot]

what about now

[grizzled frost]

Quite a few of those are from the chipset, and you get that from downgrading to a lesser generation of PCIe

also where did you pull 44 lanes from the z890 chipset from, the z890 chipset only supports 24 pcie lanes at gen4

and that's at most

most boards aren't going to use it like that

[frigid blade]

I was counting chipset and cpu

[grizzled frost]

That also isn't true, you're going to sacrifice some lanes from the CPU in order to get the full 24 lanes from the chipset

[frigid blade]

That’s why I asked how many are actually usable

[grizzled frost]

it's going to depend on how the motherboard is configured

[craggy cove]

like a i5 12400

[frigid blade]

It couldn’t be configured to where 16 from cpu for first slot and 16 from mobo for second?

[random gyro]

Github not working for anyone else?

[frigid blade]

I’m not arguing I’m genuinely just curious as to how it works

[craggy cove]

also not loading for me

[random gyro]

:(

[grizzled frost]

you'd have exactly 0 dedicated PCIe lanes for literally anything else, and the second slot would have to be gen4

[frigid blade]

Crazy

[feral arrow]

is anyone having issues with github rn?

[grizzled frost]

Arrow lake only has 24 lanes of PCIe gen5 to go around, you can use 16 of those lanes for the primary x16 slot, and then use the other x8 to have a gen4x16 slot

[frigid blade]

So you either go Intel XE platform or AMD threadripper

[grizzled frost]

then you could theoretically use the 8 DMI 4.0 lanes for the other IO, but then you'd be limited on IO

[steel umbra]

Merry christmas tc-1

[grizzled frost]

not to mention the complete lack of any kind of gen 5 IO for storage or anything

[grizzled frost]

https://downdetector.com/

[frigid blade]

how many drives are actually gen 5 that most people use?

[grizzled frost]

people that actually need dual x16 slots for their GPUs are the same people that would benefit from high speed storage

plus dual x8 gen5 boards exist, which is equivalent to dual x16 gen4 slots

gen4 to gen5 only benefits the 4090/5090, and even then it's at most a 1% improvement

[frigid blade]

Sucks that Intel HEDT platform was just killed for no reason

[grizzled frost]

it wasn't killed for no reason, it was killed because there isn't enough demand

plus AMD was royally beating their ass in the workstation/HEDT space

[feral arrow]

just checked but having issues

[frigid blade]

Yah but isn’t it a lot more pricey

[grizzled frost]

Mhm, and the people that actually need those kind of specs are perfectly willing to spend that kind of money

if it's too expensive, you don't need it

[frigid blade]

I guess no one buys a the threadripper for the speed at lower cores, but for the lanes

[grizzled frost]

lanes and the number of cores

[feral arrow]

cba to ss

[grizzled frost]

if your application spreads across threads well, it's fucking bonkers

[feral arrow]

nvm seems to be back now

[grizzled frost]

128c of zen5c goes

[frigid blade]

I was talking the 16c ones

[feral arrow]

whoops still not working again haha

[frigid blade]

No clue what their point is other than the PCIe lanes, pretty sure consumer CPU at the same price is probably faster

They need to make the chipset have more lanes support for consumer boards

It’s not enough

[grizzled frost]

there isn't a consumer CPU at the same price

but at the same core count they are indeed faster

but if you just need a lot of pcie lanes, they can make sense

[grizzled frost]

you can't just pull lanes out of nowhere

[frigid blade]

You can’t just upgrade the chipset?

[grizzled frost]

that doesn't help with getting more lanes

[frigid blade]

The CPU needs more also?

[grizzled frost]

to get more PCIe, you have to have more connections to the CPU

[frigid blade]

Ah

[grizzled frost]

PCIe is essentially just a direct connection to the CPU

there just isn't the demand for more lanes on consumer platforms

[frigid blade]

Gotcha, so if you want 2 more gen 4 from chipset you need 1 more gen5 from cpu?

[grizzled frost]

and in fact, brands are incentivized to not add more lanes to their consumer platforms, pushing customers to buy into their workstation/server platforms

[frigid blade]

It sucks because there’s no cheap middle ground other than shitty xeons

[grizzled frost]

Don't you insult my shitty xeons, i love them

(i have 6 xeons in my rack rn)

[frigid blade]

No Xeons are fine if it’s scalable gen 1 or newer

But the “E”s are pretty dookie

[grizzled frost]

live laugh love the e5-2690v4

[frigid blade]

That’s why I wanted to start with the Dell R940

It has quad socket Xeon scalable

But they’re so expensive even used

Minimum you’re spending $1k without any cpu ram, etc

And it’s ddr4

I was gonna retrofit it to house my 4090

But the project ended before starting because of the price hikes in everything

[sage bramble]

My pc randomly restarts from a black screen without warning, no intensive tasks, even idle

Anyone know causes?

[frigid blade]

Check windows event viewer logs

[sage bramble]

I did but it says nothing except for unexpected shutdown

And event 7000

[frigid blade]

I got nothin

Reseat RAM first then CPU?

RAM GPU CPU

[sage bramble]

Also randomly, my it freezes, and becomes very laggy for 10 seconds,

[frigid blade]

My pc used to freeze from kicking it

[sage bramble]

I haven’t touched the components inside

Fair enough

[frigid blade]

Is the GPU sagging?

There could be a lot of reasons tbh

[sage bramble]

Nah

I’ve had this build for 2 years and it only started happening recently

And if I’m watching YouTube, it will buzz and freeze before restarting

[frigid blade]

I’d start with reseating

[sage bramble]

True, I recently had a repair about enabling a setting for windows 11 that wouldn’t work

TPM

[frigid blade]

Does your mobo have a TPM module?

[sage bramble]

Yeah

But I enabled it and it didn’t work, and asus support were baffled. But I got it fixed at a repair shop

[wheat torrent]

Modern cpus has it integrated

[novel grove]

It has two x16 lanes, assuming the bottom is a x16 as well

[grizzled frost]

it's running at x4 electrical

[versed ingot]

i am on one

[gaunt spade]

getting deal of a lifetime 32g desktop and 7x16 laptop ram ddr5 for 242$

[craggy cove]

ikr aint that cool

[versed ingot]

on

[novel grove]

Same here but on a 12400f

[versed ingot]

same

i also have the F version

[craggy cove]

i have a 13600kf pc i have to sell :/

14 cores is kinda crazy for an i5

[versed ingot]

i wouldve gladly bought it only if i had some money

[craggy cove]

weirdly enough 12400fs go for like 90€ (probably because of the ram shortage)

and i found that 13600kf for 120€ like a month ago

[versed ingot]

i got one for less

[craggy cove]

yeah 90€ is not a good price for them

[novel grove]

Used or new from years ago?

[craggy cove]

used

nobody sells them new anymore

you can get 12100fs new for like 65€ with discounts

[novel grove]

I3 tho

[craggy cove]

yep

if youre in the us there are some pretty sweet deals on intel cpus

[novel grove]

I'm in europe

Belgium

[craggy cove]

also in europe but estonia

[novel grove]

Cool

[hexed tapir]

I demand you guys restart your nuclear reactors

subway surfers+ was released on apple arcade, where all default characters are heavily discounted, no longer have to watch ads or use keys for continued runs and all limited characters can unlocked via events

it also keeps up with real time updates

[gaunt spade]

i have a total of 224gb of ram sticks now

[gaunt spade]

apple arcade are we deadbutt rn

Damm, blud be flexin

[gaunt spade]

i do be

looks fairly old tho

[frigid blade]

My stash is 192gb but it’s only 4 dimms

[tulip sparrow]

I have no stash as all mine are in use

and I do NOT own any DDR5 based systems as of right now

[daring scaffold]

DDR4 or DDR5?

[gaunt spade]

64 gb ddr4 rest is ddr5

[daring scaffold]

Dang very nice, how many kits is that?

What speeds?

[merry trellis]

why didnt my pc post? i have a: -265kf -5070 -32gigs single chanel ram -asrock b860m pro rs
When i tried to boot it for the first time, it shows green and white error lamps (usually gpu error) and so i did all the usual troubleshooting steps: -reseating gpu and gpu powercable -switching ram chanels -hard rebooting -taking the cmos out and back. After this, it still didnt posted. I cant test the gpu (no igpu), so what do i do now? please help, its only my third pc build

[queen trout]

Got a new cpu and cpu cooler for Christmas

[daring scaffold]

Noctua my beloved

[daring scaffold]

Have you tried different RAM slots?

Reseating CPU?

[merry trellis]

yes

[merry trellis]

no, should i try?

[daring scaffold]

Always worth a try, but honestly, probably not the issue 😅

[merry trellis]

can it be that my gpu is just a defect?

[gaunt spade]

64 is 4x16 is 3200mhz
then 2x16 5600 lap
6x16 5600 lap
2x16 desktop 5600

[merry trellis]

oh how stupid og me

[pure trellis]

Amazon Is Reportedly Working on A Reality Competition Fallout Show Based on Checks Notes Fallout Shelter?!

[merry trellis]

my gpu fans arent spinning

[pure trellis]

Is GPU under 50C?

[merry trellis]

oh shoot right these new gpu’s control their fan speed by temps

shit

[pure trellis]

"new", that's a thing for 15 years already

[merry trellis]

it an gigabyte rtx 5070 windforce

[merry trellis]

i did not know that

[pure trellis]

Also,that GPU in general isn't that hot

[merry trellis]

hellyeah now the fans spin

but no post lmao

[daring scaffold]

Sick

I have like 760GB rn I think

[edgy holly]

sooo im in need of a new laptop and ive been wondering if frameworks are actually worth it

[azure topaz]

probably not

[edgy holly]

i dont really have a budget set in mind for my laptop

[azure topaz]

what do you need the laptop for

[edgy holly]

i just want something that'll last me through uni. i just need it for pretty simple stuff like word

[azure topaz]

id just buy a macbook then tbh

[edgy holly]

i absolutely despise apple and their software

[azure topaz]

thats what everyone says until they use a macbook and learn why everyone reccomends a macbook as a not gaming laptop

[gaunt spade]

what the hell

[gaunt spade]

for what

[azure topaz]

he flips pcs

[gaunt spade]

and u have 760 on hand?

[azure topaz]

so, nothing

[edgy holly]

i mean yeah, but at the same time arent they a pain in the ass to use if u have non apple stuff (phone wise and desktop wise ?)

geniunely wondering

i havent kept up with tech at all

[azure topaz]

framework wouldnt be a terrible option especially if you dont need a gpu but theyre expensive for what you get (imo) and you dont seem to care that its "upgradable"

look into i think current lenovo like slim or yoga lineup

[edgy holly]

im really used to window and i just want something solid to replace my current laptop that's fucking dying 💔

[edgy holly]

i dont need a gpu i just need something that's solid and has a decent battery ngl

[azure topaz]

macbook man

[plain cypress]

My problem with framework is I can get laptops on sale at Costco every 2-3 years and would likely save money

[azure topaz]

literally lmao

[edgy holly]

😭

[plain cypress]

Or just get a MacBook and use it for 6 years

And the MacBook will hold some sort of resale value

[edgy holly]

the base model im guessing ?

[azure topaz]

whatever one has enough storage for you

[plain cypress]

I haven't checked pricing, but I'd look at a 15" m4 air 16/512, or 14" M5 pro 16/512

Optional 1tb

[gaunt spade]

framework is expensive

[edgy holly]

i just checked it and felt like i got stabbed 20 times 💔

[azure topaz]

brotha a frame work is 1500$ lol

[edgy holly]

true 🤔

[gaunt spade]

too expensive

[azure topaz]

this isnt bad

[edgy holly]

the ssd is way too small for my taste but that looks decent

[azure topaz]

or another 200$ for the 512

https://www.bestbuy.com/product/apple-macbook-air-15-inch-laptop-apple-m4-chip-built-for-apple-intelligence-16gb-memory-512gb-ssd-sky-blue/JJGCQ8WXZS?utm_source=feed

[edgy holly]

is the air just a lighter macbook

[azure topaz]

technically lower end

kinda doesnt matter

[edgy holly]

this feels like im just getting robbed in plain daylight what the fuck 💔

[gaunt spade]

200$ for 256gb

[azure topaz]

kinda are but at least is like pinnacle of thin and lite

[edgy holly]

for that price i sure hope it is 😭

[plain cypress]

That's a lot of laptop for $1150

[azure topaz]

it really is

[plain cypress]

Yes it should be 1TB for that price, but it's apple so

[gaunt spade]

for 1150$ i can get a 4080 laptop

[azure topaz]

that would suck for uni

[patent urchin]

How to unplug psu cable form the psu side not motherboard, GPU ext ?

[edgy holly]

i dont want a fucking gaming laptop though 😭

[azure topaz]

you are viewing this from the perspective of gaming

it would die in 2-4 hours and be heavy while doing so

[plain cypress]

Presumably used? That's not a bad price if you want a gaming laptop

[gaunt spade]

yep used

[edgy holly]

i wwant something that's solid battery and chassis wise (mine dead ass lost the backplate cover during my highschool lesson)

After having a couple gaming laptops
I am never buying a dGPU laptop again

[empty quartz]

Do not

[azure topaz]

proceeds to recommend nothing else

[edgy holly]

would love it if my back doesnt die carrying it too

[empty quartz]

Psa: never buy apple products from best buy

[azure topaz]

proceeds not to say why

yes dont buy items from your physical local store where you could return it the same day if something goes wrong

[empty quartz]

More often than not, they fuck up the warranties, quite often you get fakes, shit like that

[azure topaz]

instead buy it from amazon where you waste 2 weeks of your life and another 2 waiting for the refund

youre not getting a fake macbook air m4

its not airpods

[gaunt spade]

imagine living in the usa

[edgy holly]

i live in france though

[gaunt spade]

yikes

[azure topaz]

it was just a random suggestion

showing what could be out there

[gaunt spade]

im sorry

[azure topaz]

me too

[high halo]

I want to buy a new nfs game especially because of the 85 to 95% discounts they're doing but issue is, im stuck between nfs heat and nfs payback, ive already completed nfs heat psn but I refuse to buy psn plus to play online but at the same time I feel nfs heta is going to be more popular in multiplayer on pc tho

[edgy holly]

pretty fucking shite country ill admit it

[high halo]

And tbh im not sure if im even in the right channel for this

[azure topaz]

you guys do recycle a lot of your nuclear waste though

[edgy holly]

heat is such a fucking banger

[azure topaz]

which is fire

[edgy holly]

nuclear the only thing we actually cooked on

[azure topaz]

like 96% or something

[wheat torrent]

I need myself a Christmas hat

[edgy holly]

fucking hate our gov though

but whatever i should hurry up and get a laptop before the prices go up

[high halo]

Ik but i already bought it on psn but I cant play multiplayer without psn plus and buying the same game twice feels wasteful

[empty quartz]

Meow

[azure topaz]

yems

[empty quartz]

Hai owcba

[edgy holly]

ill start looking for a macbook

[edgy holly]

sup ace

[high halo]

But ur right about heat being a banger

[azure topaz]

been enjoying some ps3 games today

started darksouls and i think ill do shadow of the colossus bext

[edgy holly]

ive been scoring on mfs in rematch (i love this game)

[high halo]

Ah I wish I could use my psn account and move my progress to pc but ig not

[edgy holly]

i dont think i need the pro thank god

man what the actual fuck

[azure topaz]

honestly got bored and decided i should use my nas for the roms i like playing so i dont always forget them

[gaunt spade]

m5

[south arrow]

Wickedss

[edgy holly]

oh oops that's the pro page

dumbest person ever award 💔

[sharp harbor]

Does anyone here know anything about modding a bios

[azure topaz]

for what

[empty quartz]

Unless you’re editing photos or videos, you dont need a pro. Even then, a previous gen pro is cheaper

[edgy holly]

the air looks pretty good

[sharp harbor]

X99 Sabertooth, I've got all the files I just don't wanna screw it up

[azure topaz]

okay that doesnt help

what are you modding in the bios 😭

[edgy holly]

im prolly going into political science for studies and i dont think ill need any editing features for that

[sharp harbor]

I've got an Intel Arc B580 and I need to install Resizeable Bar

[azure topaz]

are you just flashing a bios someone made on a forum?

or are you adding rebar yourself

[high halo]

Is there a way to use my psn account to download the games I own on pc? Or is that not possible? Atleast with game that have both psn and pc versions

[azure topaz]

if its the first one and you trust it and other people have flashed the same one just follow whatever instructions on the forum you found it on to flash it, you shouldnt need to really modify anything yourself

[edgy holly]

wait hold on cant i just buy an older generation for the air ? cause holy fuck those prices are wild

[empty quartz]

Its not too difficult, ive done it myself. Just make sure you know how to use the bios recovery stuff just incase.

[sharp harbor]

basically, someone already did it using UEFITool and UEFIPatch, I have some files and a bunch of information but either I'm misreading things or there's things I'm just supposed to know

[azure topaz]

all you should have to do is flash whatever rom they supplied idk

[sharp harbor]

The problem is that it's not a bios file that's already done, I have to patch something and then I have to edit the registry in UEFITool and insert .fss files and then something something idfk

[azure topaz]

interesting

[sharp harbor]

I have the CAP file, two .fss files and a bunch of tools and some patch txt and links to all the github pages and discussions, but I work mostly with hardware so I've got no clue how to tie this all together

I just know it CAN be done and HAS been done before, and I need to do it for my GPU to actually work

[azure topaz]

follow the instructions on the github?

[sharp harbor]

Trust me I tried, I wouldn't be here if that worked.

[azure topaz]

okay so

1. tell us/me that
2. what didnt work where did it go wrong

[sharp harbor]

https://github.com/xCuri0/ReBarUEFI

https://github.com/xCuri0/ReBarUEFI/discussions/248

[azure topaz]

yes im on it

[edgy holly]

this shit is just a blatant robbery fuck you mean an m3 is just 200 euro cheaper than a m4 that has more ram and more storage

[sharp harbor]

I have no idea how to dump my bios file like a bunch of videos say I need to do, and i've tried multiple tools that don't work

the patch tool doesn't seem to want to work either, and I also can't insert the .fss files the option is greyed out

I've got pretty much everything I think I need to make it work, but I don't really know what order or what the hell to do, reading the UEFIPatch/Tool guide just makes me feel lost

[azure topaz]

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

[sharp harbor]

Already watched that, also his tool doesn't have my mobo

Which means it has no ability to dump the file like he does with some random motherboard he picked out

Asus isn't an option in the mii89 or whatever tool he has linked in his description

[high halo]

Also, is the nfs heat online community bigger than of other nfs game like nfs payback?

[azure topaz]

okay, ill look for something that would dump your bios then

[edgy holly]

idk maybe ?

yeahhhhh i dont think im getting a macbook

the prices are just insane 😭

[sharp harbor]

I don't even really know what that means, if it just means my bios files then I downloaded the bios update off ASUS's webpage and that's what the sabertooth stock file is

but I wasn't sure if that would work with the patch, and if it was a waste of time since I have the dudes files who already did it

[high halo]

Idk, ig ill have to look more into it, since i already finished nfs heat and it feels kinda wasteful to buy the same game twice

[high halo]

That might be bc of the ram shortage tho

[azure topaz]

i saw the issue you linked too, bro who said he did it also says it locks the CPU at 1.5v and says its X79

[sharp harbor]

no not him

[sharp harbor]

He's somebody replying to the thread he's not relevant

It's the ufo guy that actually did it and tweaked it to have no issues

[high halo]

What about the other one tho?

[umbral crow]

is this the right place to ask about upgrading :p i havent delve into pc stuff in years

[edgy holly]

look it up.

[high halo]

Also what site did u use? Steam?

[sharp harbor]

He replies to his own post with proof he did it and also a file dump that had two .fss files and a cap file which is an image of his bios after he added rebar

[edgy holly]

just look up "insert name of the game here current players"

[azure topaz]

im pretty sure the file he includes, the CAP file, is what you flash to your bios thru USB flashback or whatever is on your bios

[sharp harbor]

I just don't really actually know where to go from there, how the .fss files interact or how I can add them when the option is greyed out, if I still need to patch my current bios, etc

[high halo]

Ah ok

[sharp harbor]

Yeah I can't do "pretty sure"

[high halo]

Thanks

[sharp harbor]

my motherboard is like $300

[azure topaz]

then dont do this at all

[azure topaz]

its X99, its basically free

whatever ebay says its listed for is just wrong

[ebon marlin]

Asus moment

[azure topaz]

nobody is going to buy those

[sharp harbor]

idk I didn't pay for mine it was a gift but yk what I mean

[ebon marlin]

Yeah X99 boards are literally free

[azure topaz]

the worst youd be doing is flashing a stock bios

because its either a modified one with rebar or the stock one he backed up at first

[sharp harbor]

guh

[high halo]

Oh boi, bfs payback has a much smaller communtiy

[sharp harbor]

what about the patched modules

aren't those important

[azure topaz]

to make it yourself

if you dont want to flash his bios

unless im illiterate

[sharp harbor]

one thing, I opened his bios and could not find the .fss files in there using ctrl + f

So my thought process is that I have to add them myself

I didn't see the pcibus.exe or whatever or the nvsumn file in his version of the bios

[edgy holly]

what laptops should i look into if i have like a 800 euro budget ?

[sharp harbor]

I did find the "rebar.exe" or whatever file added and compared it to the stock image so I know that got added

[azure topaz]

im not sure, i dont really want to completely learn how to do this myself because the one X99 motherboard i have is a dell workstation, from what i am reading here the file looks already to be modified for rebar

[ebon marlin]

I'd probably look at used 4070 laptops

[sharp harbor]

well I wouldn't ask you to mod your own x99 but if you can double check the UEFITool/Patch and process they outline and compare it to that 248 post that would be really appreciated

[azure topaz]

not gaming

[ebon marlin]

[edgy holly]

forgot to say but i just need it for school work mostly

[edgy holly]

we bought a laptop from a shop in france ONCE

and it didnt even work 💔

[ebon marlin]

Lmao what

Was it brand new

Or used

[edgy holly]

they refused to refund until my mom threw the box at them saying it was fucking brand new

[edgy holly]

brand new 💔

[ebon marlin]

Ay caramba

[edgy holly]

the 13 inch macbook air is cheaper by a lot but that screen a lil too small for my liking

I couldn't find those two in that file, sorry I should've been more specific than "nvram"

[sharp harbor]

ooh

usual reminder that the cheapest 'eneloop clones' are the IKEA rechargeable batteries

[sharp harbor]

I didn't think to check the uni/hexcode numbers

[azure topaz]

lol

its a bios its all hex

[sharp harbor]

so that cap file just is the modded bios, hold on there's one thing

[azure topaz]

yes that cap file is his modded bios

[brave brook]

https://eneloop101.com/batteries/rewrapped-batteries/

[sharp harbor]

whats up with the ReBarState.exe file that someone said to open after rebooting

I don't have a rebarstate.exe file

[azure topaz]

rebarstate probably just checks that rebar is on

state meaning like status

the state of rebar

[sharp harbor]

https://github.com/xCuri0/ReBarUEFI/tree/master/ReBarState

I have no idea what I'm looking at

Is this a linux only thing

[azure topaz]

all its telling you is if rebar is on

[sharp harbor]

this is great news

[azure topaz]

i am trying to read more about it to confirm

oh so rebarstate lets you configure rebar

[sharp harbor]

does flashing the bios thats already modded mean I skip patching then

[azure topaz]

yes pretty sure

[azure topaz]

all you gotta do is type in 32 and hope it works lol

[sharp harbor]

probably a dumb question but

[ebon marlin]

Rebart

[azure topaz]

https://youtu.be/vcJDWMpxpjE?t=444

time stamped

[sharp harbor]

I have 4G enabled, I have CSM off, the one thing im worried about is uefipatch not being applied

[azure topaz]

one would assume that bro who got his working would post the fully modified bios

[sharp harbor]

also which rebar state do I download

I'm not very familiar with github, or how to pick which file is the correct one

[azure topaz]

https://github.com/xCuri0/ReBarUEFI/releases/

[sharp harbor]

404

[azure topaz]

oops

rebarstate.exe

what u were looking at was the source code

[sharp harbor]

I still don't know where to download rebarstate.exe

[azure topaz]

this one im making you use your eyes

iits RIGHT there when you click what i sent

under assets

[sharp harbor]

didnt see the edited link

myb

[azure topaz]

ok that one is fair

my bad for saying nothing

[sharp harbor]

all good, ok so flash the modded bios, open rebarstate and type in 32, close the terminal and reboot and pray

[azure topaz]

sounds right

[azure topaz]

if you have 15$ and a shitty laptop or just like any other machine you have an ability to recover your flash pretty easy

[sharp harbor]

yippie I haven't flashed a modded bios since that piece of shit caramel bios on that old ass optiplex or whatever so I could have 1050ti support

[sharp harbor]

yeah I have like 12 computers I build pcs for fun and sell em

[azure topaz]

cool

[sharp harbor]

It can be, but I'm terrible with software

I appreciate you taking time to help me out man

[azure topaz]

if it doesnt work (idk if your board has flashback, if it does youre probably fine regardless) you can look into a CH341A or whatever

[swift stream]

yeah but at least its getting better

[drowsy isle]

And of course Clair obscur makes it way somehow

[gaunt spade]

i wanna install a cooler on am5 that installed on am4 the holes line up but the am5 mobo has its own backplate. if i remove that backplate to put on the backplate that came with the cooler will i have to remove the socket retention bracket thingy too?

[edgy holly]

similar to clair obscure

[swift stream]

outfits also cost coins instead of keys

[gaunt spade]

these dont line up am i cooked?

[feral arrow]

Just had a random question do you guys manually install all device drivers OR let windows fully update and automatically install drivers and any missing you manually do yourself? Which one is actually better to do?

[sharp harbor]

@azure topaz

ty I appreciate it a lot, as it turns out that bios file didn't even work but I just got the last answer I needed from the dude who did it himself so I've got it

turns out the last thing was changing my usb to MBR -_-

[feral arrow]

not necessarily

[agile stag]

more greedy than the ducks that wanted to attack me for eating my wendys outside

[gaunt spade]

funny enough it does align perfectly on the other side

but the cooler is facing downwards if i put it like that

[agile stag]

i restored a number of old laptops and i installed drivers manually on those because old windows but ever since 10 started auto installing everything i just let it do that now and i havent ran into many issues and when i have uh ive figured them out like 98% of the time

[feral arrow]

so i guess noadays just let win update do it

thanks

[agile stag]

thats what i do and ive been doing great

np

[azure topaz]

lol yeah follow flashback instructions

[agile stag]

OH make sure you go into optional updates though on the windows update panel

those optional updates are optional but i wish they werent since i usually have to click through all of them but meh its otherwise fine

[delicate geode]

i reinstalled windows recently and i remember someone telling my to disable my IGPU... should i do that again or just leave it?

[feral arrow]

leave it because its VERY helpful for troubleshooting a dead dedicated gpu also maybe they said to like plug your display into the dedicated gpu which i agree unless you have a dedicated gpu going thru the igpu

[novel grove]

Update, she said yes for the ram🔥

[lunar hearth]

Fellow b580 user

Using this for AI Training & Machine Learning sometime in the next ehh 6 months when I get around to starting that

B580 has dogwater driver support 😭

[broken trellis]

B580 is peak

Great value pick

[sharp harbor]

true that

[daring scaffold]

I flip PC's

[daring scaffold]

yup

[cold skiff]

You disable the iGPU. If your dGPU dies on POST modern motherboards detect no dGPU and re-enable the iGPU. So there’s no reason to keep it enabled.

[feral arrow]

didnt know that thanks

[feral arrow]

i guess a second monitor if you want max from your dgpu

[cold skiff]

It never used to happen. In the old days we had to re-enable blind from other users telling us the keystrokes exactly

[feral arrow]

yup

[wispy thunder]

Uh, no?

AMD is much worse

Intel actually releases fixes for their gpus

[sharp harbor]

idk I've got all 3 brands in my systems

[wispy thunder]

AMD uh, goes ahead and drops support for 6000 series

[sharp harbor]

Interesting

[azure topaz]

"maintanence mode" whatever that means

basically that they dont care about it

[wispy thunder]

They moved it back after people got mad

[sharp harbor]

Don't use the 6000 series, I have a 9070XT for my AMD system

[wispy thunder]

But yes it's just "drivers to make it compatible"

[sharp harbor]

god I love the RX580

[wispy thunder]

Cool, plenty of people have 6600xt to 6950xt since they're good value

[sharp harbor]

I think I have an extra 5500XT but I don't actually think I've ever used a 6000 series

Is it worth picking up?

[wispy thunder]

No

[sharp harbor]

rip

[wispy thunder]

6000 series was good value and the upper end could compete with 3090 in raster

But that's about it

[sharp harbor]

idk I sell systems second hand as a side gig so I make a lotta shit

My favorite systems are always the janky ones

[wispy thunder]

Maybe then

They're cheaper than equivalent Nvidia cards in raster, but ig Nvidia still has more market appeal

[sharp harbor]

I used to hate laptops but then my supplier started giving me a ton so I've been working on those recently

Some good, some bad. Some weird.

[sharp sleet]

Should i cope aula hero 68 for 30 dollars

[split laurel]

Nvidia is worse then amd

Intel has the best drivers rn

[wispy thunder]

No

[azure topaz]

i love baseless claims

[wispy thunder]

Well, in Linux ig?

[split laurel]

I had a 5080 and the drivers were so had I had to return it.

[azure topaz]

and they are fixed now

[wispy thunder]

But Windows is still by far the most popular os

And Nvidia drivers are great for those

[wispy thunder]

Skill issue ig, never had an issue with 5000 series

[wheat torrent]

Well

Lot of people complaining about NVIDIA NEW drivers

[split laurel]

I rolled back the drivers and it got a little better but still didn't fix it

Ive never had a problem with my 9070xt or a750

[wispy thunder]

Lot of people complaining about NVIDIA NEW drivers

There's always complainers

[split laurel]

Im sure they are fix this was in August

Im just saying amd and intel have never given me a problem

[wispy thunder]

I don't discount your anecdotal experience, I haven't had much issue with Intel. AMD ahaha-

[split laurel]

Ive used both amd and intel for 6 months each i used the 5080 for around 3

[wispy thunder]

Though, it's definitely better now so I don't have any issue recc all 3

[grizzled frost]

the issues with NVIDIA drivers for the months after the 5000 series were widespread

[split laurel]

People had 5090 that would just black screen

[grizzled frost]

happened on most models of the 50 series cards

[split laurel]

I got my a750 about a year after it came out so all the driver problems were fixed

[queen trout]

Wich fan should i get for exhaust

[split laurel]

A good looking all black one

[queen trout]

[grizzled frost]

Nf-A12x25

[split laurel]

Actually a white rgb fan would fit in perfectly

Like a infinity mirror design

[queen trout]

No

[split laurel]

Nah im kidding

I also needa get a exhaust fan

[grizzled frost]

you have 3

or at least you should have 3

[split laurel]

I mean for the back

[split laurel]

I do

[grizzled frost]

meh, in your case it shouldn’t change much

[split laurel]

I thinking of getting a mini display

[queen trout]

I thought this one would look good maybe

[agile rose]

Any good ddr4 ram that would be recommended?

[split laurel]

Anything you can afford

[tacit star]

Does anyone here play Cyberpunk 2077 with an AMD GPU (and preferably a CPU)?

You can reply even if you play it without being AMD

[grizzled frost]

i play with an amd cpu and nvidia gpu

[ivory mountain]

yes

[tacit star]

2x16 3600 MT/s CL16 used market

[grizzled frost]

the right answer, well done

[tacit star]

Do you use FSR/XeSS?

[ivory mountain]

i only use frame gen in cyberpunk cause fsr 3.1 looks like ass

[grizzled frost]

upscaling/frame gen are both pretty subjective

if you like it, use it, if you don’t, don’t use it

[tacit star]

Well I use 6900 XT, hence have to pick between FSR 2.1, FSR 3.0, and XeSS 2.0

[grizzled frost]

one person might find it absolutely revolting, while the next can’t tell

[ivory mountain]

im on 6900xt too

[tacit star]

Great

[grizzled frost]

FSR3.0 is your best bet out of those

[tacit star]

Which of these upscaling methods is the best (closest looking to native)?

[tacit star]

Really? Doesn't it look like shit?

[ivory mountain]

i really see the difference when ur in that area with panam or wtv her name is in the desert

[grizzled frost]

and the rest even more so

[tacit star]

Doesn't FSR 3.0 look the worst?

[ivory mountain]

no

[tacit star]

Then which is?

[ivory mountain]

i just use frame gen without fsr upscaling stuff enabled

[grizzled frost]

with upscaling technology, it very much is bigger number better within brands

[tacit star]

Do I need to use frame gen?

[grizzled frost]

no, not at all

[tacit star]

Should I always use it?

I ask because I don't know

[grizzled frost]

again, it’s very much personal preference

[tacit star]

When should I do

[ivory mountain]

no but i think it looks better than fsr, its personal preference

[tacit star]

FSR 3.0 + FG

Is this what you mean?

[ivory mountain]

no, let me send a pic

[tacit star]

You know that the game looks the best without DLSS or anything like that

[tacit star]

Are you saying FSR 3.0 is the closest that looks to native?

[tacit star]

How do you see this?

[ivory mountain]

settings

[tacit star]

Let me run the game

Alright

How about Resolution Scaling option?

[ivory mountain]

Off

[grizzled frost]

You’re probably going to want to experiment a bit to find what works best for you

higher scaling will diminish the quality a bit, but benefit fps

[novel grove]

Welp, um, bad news, those ram stick have been running out of stock...

[misty mauve]

[grizzled frost]

i personally set graphics to max, then use the bare minimum scaling + fg to get 45-60fps

[novel grove]

Dammit those were at a good price too...

[grizzled frost]

though that’s with a 4080S and dlss

[tacit star]

I am asking about Resolution Scaling option

[ivory mountain]

Yeah i just find grass looking really bad with fsr, i spent forever testing which is best and finally found what i liked

[ivory mountain]

Yeah i said set it to off

[grizzled frost]

yeah the badlands is a sore spot for FG and upscaling

[ivory mountain]

Or just experiment and see what u like best

[grizzled frost]

it really works best in the cityscape

[tacit star]

I see

Off with FG?

[grizzled frost]

if you set FG off then you’re doing nothing with FSR btw

[tacit star]

Is this what looks the best to native*?

*Native – without DLSS or anything like that

[ivory mountain]

frame gen fixes all of the issues that fsr had in the badlands so ive been sticking with it and its been amazing

[grizzled frost]

iirc i have single FG on and 75% scaling

gets me a solid 45-60fps with max everything, including max RT, but no PT

[ivory mountain]

resolution scaling - OFF
frame generation - AMD FSR 3.1 Frame Generation
Texture Quality - HIGH

[ivory mountain]

my 6900xt does not like ray tracing lmaooo

[grizzled frost]

Very occasionally i’ll see DLSS artifacting, but nothing bad

[grizzled frost]

Yeah i’ve heard older AMD cards do not do well with it

[tacit star]

Aye sure, somehow texture quality went back to low after setting it to HIGH

[grizzled frost]

the newest 9000 series radeon cards look really good with RT though

9070xt is just barely behind the 5070ti on RT

RT performance, not sure what the fidelity is like though

[ivory mountain]

its so annoying how every few months my 6900xt will just like, not want to utilize itself, ill have to tab in and out like 4 times for it to be used on games, its really weird and random

[novel grove]

yeah those prices for 2x16gb is expensive

I need my intel xmp

[tacit star]

Alright I am undereducated so can you tell me more

Is FSR 3.1 FG an upscaling method? Is it a thing that only gives you more FPS? Or both?

[ivory mountain]

It gives more frames and no its not upscaling

[tacit star]

Am I getting crazy or it is giving input lag as well?

[ivory mountain]

yeah it gives some

[tacit star]

I see

Or. When it comes to FSR 2.1, FSR 3.0, XeSS 2.0 (shown above), which is the best?

[ivory mountain]

Fsr 3, test the options and see what you like most

[tacit star]

Also which sharpness option should I use?

.5, or 1?

Which looks the closest to native, and not oversharpened? I can't see alone so

[frail sequoia]

I’m thinking about selling my pc but idk how much it’s worth, could yous help me pls

[azure topaz]

then you are overthinking it and it does not matter

if you cant tell the difference then whats the point of changing it

just enjoy your game bro lol

[novel grove]

Time to wait until ram gets cheaper then
Cant buy ram, that price was the only way i could've gotten ram, thank you amazon

The only one thats at a good price despite the shortage is the new lexar ares gen2 the only problem is that its a preorder and i have to wait until 2027 to get it

[orchid trellis]

Whenever I’m on Minecraft Java and I’m just running around or flying with elytra my GPU Utilization (in game) spikes to 100% and my game stutters but she I check in task manager it doesn’t spike at all. I’m on 32 render distance 1440p 4gb ram allocated to the game and have a 4080s + 9800x3d. I reinstalled windows the other day to fix some things and it worked but now I’m having this issue on Minecraft ONLY!

[rigid fjord]

should be using hwinfo instead

[craggy cove]

also while trying to connect the ""new"" one i misplaced it and there was a spark

much harder to replace than my old lg phone battery

Guys is there a big performance difference between an AIO and normal fan on a Ryzen 7 7800X3D?

[grizzled frost]

not really, no

[orchid vector]

thanks!

If I have 32gb ram and I allocate ~8-10gb to Minecraft Java is that reasonable or a bad idea to do that much?

[tired bear]

is it a server?

[broken palm]

i couldn’t resist 2gig to 5gig for $30

[gloomy isle]

is it possible for me to upgrade my laptop's motherboard? i have a hp pavilion gaming laptop 15-dk0xxx, can i upgrade to this

https://www.ebay.com/itm/396102099504?chn=ps&google_free_listing_action=view_item

[broken palm]

now i cannot wait to go home

already picked up a new motherboard too

[latent tundra]

asking again before I hit the checkout button
KVM with VGA should still works when adapted into HDMI provided the VGA to HDMI cable is active right?

[tired bear]

trust me it isnt worth it

sell your laptop and get one with specs you want

[latent tundra]

or idk just swap the cpu

find someone that can do BGA soldering

replace the CPU

unless this dude wants to replace the mobo like, the laptop is on a 9th or 8th gen mobo and thought the chassis would fit new mobo

which uh

I have a
7800x3d
6950xt (merc 319)
6400 2x16 gb ram
And the past 2 months i have been experiencing stuttering in my game. So i have done driver updates, bios updates clean connectors and turned down fps to make it alittle better. So i have the pc for 2 years and i was able to run fh5 at 240 fps at 1440p. Do u have any suggestions or fixes for this bug?

[viral kayak]

How does one update bios?

Actually nvm I remember YouTube is a thing

But what’s a good gpu for 300 bucks used

[hallow jasper]

As often as you want if you’re curious. Or if you’re trying to fix something.

[glossy veldt]

you only really update the bios if your cpu is not detected lol

if you're asking how to update it, don't

[gleaming rose]

nah

you should at least pay attention in the event of vulnerabilities

[glossy veldt]

i almost forgot about the intel self destructing cpus

[gleaming rose]

not just that

[glossy veldt]

i haven't updated my bios since i bought my computer in 2021 since i don't trust myself on not fucking something up

[gleaming rose]

i wouldn't recommend that

[tawdry coyote]

i keep getting vkwaitforfences: -4 on shadow of the tomb raider what do i do

[gleaming rose]

gpu drivers

uninstall & reinstall

[azure topaz]

what that guy said

[gleaming rose]

use DDU

[tawdry coyote]

on kubuntu

[azure topaz]

also vk means vulkan, is tomb raider even -

[gleaming rose]

proton or native?

[azure topaz]

nevermind hes on linux i was just about to ask

[tawdry coyote]

proton

[gleaming rose]

dxvk

[gleaming rose]

experimental or a stable release?

[azure topaz]

i didnt finish the mesage 💀

[tawdry coyote]

i believe stable

[gleaming rose]

switch to experimental

[tawdry coyote]

how so?

[azure topaz]

i was going to ask if it was natively vulkan or if bro was on linux but he answered it before i could ask

[gleaming rose]

right click on game -> properties -> compatibility -> set proton version to Proton Experimental

[azure topaz]

hacking the mainframe rn

[gleaming rose]

check the box

[bleak ledge]

Does this thermal paste application look sufficient?

[azure topaz]

yeah

a lot but yeah

[bleak ledge]

Thanks

[viral kayak]

I’m buying an intel 14th gen cpu so I need the newest bios update I’m pretty sure

[tawdry coyote]

selected experimental

[azure topaz]

dont even help

set an ia vr limit of 1400

[gleaming rose]

run the game and it will auto download

[viral kayak]

In bios?

[azure topaz]

may be called something different, look up your motherboard and then "voltage limit" on google

[glossy veldt]

i think thats a lot

[azure topaz]

yes, what i told you tells your CPU it cant go over 1.4 volts, which is what causes them to blow up

[viral kayak]

Didn’t newer bios updates fix the overvolting?

[azure topaz]

can probably get away with 1.45, its the spikes of almost 1.6 that kills the cpus

[glossy veldt]

1400 volts seems like a lot even my wall is only 220v

[azure topaz]

no, iit honestly makes it worse

[azure topaz]

its measured in millivolts

[azure topaz]

later bioses usually set the load scenario to intel failsafe which makes the chips request way more voltage than they need

you can also change that

[viral kayak]

So should I even bother updating it on my b760?

[azure topaz]

whats it on?

[viral kayak]

I don’t know it’s brand new I haven’t gotten my cpu yet

[bleak ledge]

The factory application was extreme

[azure topaz]

oh okay well if its on like a 2024 or something bios just leave it

[wheat torrent]

stutters in fh5?

[glossy veldt]

christ

[azure topaz]

just do what i said, change load scenario to typical case in the bios too, youll be fine

[viral kayak]

Load scenario?

[azure topaz]

if you dont have a -K cpu or a like a 13700K or better you probably dont have to worry about it at all even

[azure topaz]

basically set presets for the loadline im pretty sure

[left dove]

CHRISMAS TAMALES

[delicate geode]

Reinstall windows completely

[viral kayak]

I bought a 14600k

[azure topaz]

i dont think youll have issues really

[viral kayak]

Does 14th gen have suicidal cpus?

[glossy veldt]

omg tamales i love tamales

[azure topaz]

yes but on the chips boosting to quite high freq's

[glossy veldt]

the tamales i eat are usually yellowier but tamales are tamales

[viral kayak]

The 14600k goes to 5.3

[azure topaz]

yeah thats not very high

the 13900KS goes to 6

[viral kayak]

So I don’t need to adjust voltage at all?

[azure topaz]

i would do 1450 on the voltage limit and be done

[viral kayak]

Just to be safe?

[wheat torrent]

my 7900 goes to 5.4

[azure topaz]

yes

[wheat torrent]

would expect i14600k to go higher

[gleaming rose]

just update your bios before doing anything else on the computer

and you won't have to worry

[azure topaz]

overclocked

[wheat torrent]

yep

fair enoough

[azure topaz]

my chip at not stock settings goes faster than a chip at stock settings

[normal laurel]

Got a new case

[gleaming rose]

also make sure you're getting a board from a reputable company, msi, asus, asrock, whatever

too much rgb

[viral kayak]

H9?

[gleaming rose]

too little airflow

[delicate geode]

RGB = FPS

[left dove]

I'm so fucking stoked tbh

[azure topaz]

no manual adjustments of voltage, just set the voltage limit lol

[normal laurel]

Be quiet light base 900fx

[glossy veldt]

what does stoked mean again i forgor

[normal laurel]

Huh

[azure topaz]

like stroked, excited

[glossy veldt]

ooooh

[azure topaz]

(💀)

[viral kayak]

So I just put the limit update bios if it’s older than 2024 and then I’m done?

[glossy veldt]

i would too if i ate tamales ngl

[azure topaz]

exactly

[wheat torrent]

I am stroked

[glossy veldt]

peypey share me some tamales please

[azure topaz]

yes
