its made of acrylic/glass
air does not pass through acrylic/glass

[left dove]

Excite

[viral kayak]

Ok thanks

[azure topaz]

i <3 13900KS

[normal laurel]

Well no shit theres fan grates all around it

[gleaming rose]

but still

[wheat torrent]

I heard in july something something about intel releasing new ultra CPUs with a lot of cores

did those release yet?

all I heard in this server is 265k and 285k

[orchid trellis]

Is it just me or is apple a pos when it comes to sending images on the messenger app?

[normal laurel]

The airflow is great ill js say that

[gleaming rose]

apple is a complete pos in general

[tawdry coyote]

it worked but i lost ALL my progress

[orchid trellis]

Im slowly heading in that direction. Android is equally a pos tho

[gleaming rose]

ehh android can be better

[orchid trellis]

How

[gleaming rose]

unfortunately all phone software suites will be a pos until they start being done by people instead of companies

[gleaming rose]

more open platform

more consumer choice

[orchid trellis]

How?

Explain

[gleaming rose]

you can install whatever apps you want outside of the app store and they won't stop you

you can give apps permissions you couldn't on ios

[orchid trellis]

As in sideloading? Never used it when i was on android. Dont care. Next

[gleaming rose]

you can (on some devices) unlock the bootloader and install your own android skin

[glossy veldt]

dude i ate some caramelized sweet potato chips today like 10 or 11 hours ago

[orchid trellis]

Never felt the need. Next

[gleaming rose]

you can change the home launcher

[glossy veldt]

washed my hands probably in the tens of times today and still can't get the aroma of onion from my hands

[orchid trellis]

Home launcher?

[glossy veldt]

i smell of caramelized onion

[gleaming rose]

also better value devices, more device features, and just more fun to use

[wheat torrent]

me when android breaks in crumbles and battery falls off
me when iphone charges me 490999 usd for a different camera layout
me when android comes bloated with [aeruioaer
me when apple doesn't give me usb c
...

[orchid trellis]

Wanna know what happens when i am faced with more choices? I get stuck

[gleaming rose]

https://tenor.com/view/walle-fat-chair-gif-14829650

guys let's not make decisions anymore
everyone gets stuck just flip a coin and move on

or, yknow, just get a google pixel or samsung phone

[orchid trellis]

I look at every major to minor detail. So much so that i get indecisive

[gleaming rose]

i do this too

[orchid trellis]

Fuck samsung

[gleaming rose]

sweet, get a google pixel

[wheat torrent]

you doing too much

[orchid trellis]

Fuck google

[gleaming rose]

sweet, get a oneplus phone

[wheat torrent]

get google pixel install graphene OS

[gleaming rose]

not for everyone - though it is a cool concept

[wheat torrent]

ehh

my point is

there is always something wrong like there will always be its this or that

just get a phone and use it idk

[orchid trellis]

Wtf is with these stupid website devs in opening 5 more tabs whenever i click on something?

[gleaming rose]

if you don't like google or samsung (me neither), oneplus is great

[wheat torrent]

do your research if you want good camera get one with a good camera if you want apple get apple but like at the end of the day every one of them will have downsides

[orchid trellis]

I dont care about the camera at all

[gleaming rose]

https://www.gsmarena.com/oneplus_15_5g-14206.php

[wheat torrent]

android wise there is a ton of options

[gleaming rose]

this has all of the details on the phone, including a detailed review and the specs
since you're like me in that way you may appreciate it

[wheat torrent]

my point is to figure out what you care about and get one that is great at what you want to do

[glossy veldt]

you do NOT want apple if you like your phone to have a long lasting battery and don't do anything related to the camera like recording vlogs or stuff

get a cheap anything phone and treat it like shite

[wheat torrent]

when I went and bought my phone I said to show me the ones with biggest battery

[orchid trellis]

How is the redmagic 11 pro?

[wheat torrent]

and I got the one with 6000 mAh, a poco phone

[gleaming rose]

biggest battery currently is in an oppo phone afaik

[gleaming rose]

good if you game

[wheat torrent]

well biggest in the store

[glossy veldt]

oh oppo that's my phone's brand

[gleaming rose]

oppo find x9 pro

[wheat torrent]

chinese is usually one step ahead when it comes to batteries

[glossy veldt]

i've got the A60 and it's all i need

[wheat torrent]

I have a oppo currently also

if I was to get a new phone I would look for something that isn't mi ui

[glossy veldt]

the 45w charging is cool

coloros is peak for some reason

[wheat torrent]

I have that

[gleaming rose]

redmagic 11 pro CN edition is the biggest battery in a consumer phone with a flagship chipset

[wheat torrent]

I dont like when on lockscreen if you swipe left or right you get some random photo screen

[glossy veldt]

oh yeah lol i hate that

[wheat torrent]

and it takes like 3 seconds for it to load for you to be able to go back

[glossy veldt]

don't know how to turn it off, don't care much either

[gleaming rose]

miui is my favorite tbh

so sexy and fun to use

[glossy veldt]

android 15 coloros also has this weird thing

that asks you for the fingerprint whenever you turn on usb tethering

[gleaming rose]

that is expected behaviour

[glossy veldt]

but not from the settings

like only from the notification

[wheat torrent]

my 6000 mAh poco phone

[ornate harbor]

Billionaire

[gleaming rose]

you have to unlock the phone to do it from settings no matter what

[glossy veldt]

it's stupid because someone who has the unlocked phone can just go to the settings and turn it on that way

[wheat torrent]

after like 4 years lasts more than my new phone on a single charge

[glossy veldt]

but from the notification even if it's unlocked, it ask for finerprint

[orchid trellis]

Since i no longer need a larger phone for the screen, might downsize it. Before i needed the larger screen for my drone but i dont need it for my drone anymore.

[glossy veldt]

annoying when i'm waiting for an ethernet cable long enough to reach into my kitchen where the modem's at

[wheat torrent]

The phone that I enjoyed the most

[glossy veldt]

i legit use my phone for 3 things, movies, calls, discord

[wheat torrent]

was a nokia smartphone, I do not exactly remember the model

[gleaming rose]

i would get a google pixel and install a degoogled rom on it then

[wheat torrent]

but the software and everything was just peak

[gleaming rose]

in the US most phones are fairly large, google pixels are some of the few small phones actually sold here

[glossy veldt]

i've had few phones; this oppo a60, a TCL 30e and a LG K9

i miss LG

[gleaming rose]

as do i

[glossy veldt]

the velvet was literally a today's phone

sweet

[wheat torrent]

this thing actually, let me check what android one is

god damn this brings lots of memories

I think the UI was actually stock android UI

I think thats what I liked about it compared to my ColorOS

[gleaming rose]

it was

[wheat torrent]

it had no bullshit widgets or wallpaper stuff

[gleaming rose]

coloros is sweet now

as is miui/hyperos

[wheat torrent]

I hate the lockscreen pictures shit

I can't disable it

sometimes I want to turn flashlight when my phone is turned on

[stuck depot]

my galaxy a54 is running one ui 7.1, but the binary revision is still u1 but it's not letting me downgrade to one ui 5.1, why?

[wheat torrent]

and you naturally do a gesture like this

and this sometimes opens the pictures bullshit since it's a sideways swipe

[stuck depot]

error 0x5 binary revision u1 in download mode

[glossy veldt]

istg

i just unlock it with the fingerprint to save the hassle of seeing cake or sum shit on my lockscreen for 3 unskippable seconds

[wheat torrent]

yeah its annoying

and it's small things like this as to why I don't like it that much

[glossy veldt]

if i wanted a flashlight i would have bought a motorola, so i don't care much

[wheat torrent]

thing is I use minimalist launcher on all my phones

so I wouldnt even get to use any of the good things the UI might have

[glossy veldt]

motorolas, you only shake it

and the flashlight turns on

for some reason i haven't seen another phone that does this

[wheat torrent]

what I loved about my poco phone was that the power button was a fingerprint scanner

it is much better than under the screen fingerprint scanners

much faster also

[grizzled frost]

wish the iphone had a fingerprint power button

[wheat torrent]

on some phones you can use it as a scroll wheel also...

[fallow yacht]

you know what's the dumbest shi i've read

[orchid trellis]

Which phone has the least amount of bloat on it from the factory?

[fallow yacht]

"win 11 sucks cuz spyware" when he's literally using windows 10 lmao

[grizzled frost]

a phone running stock android

[gleaming rose]

google or maybe motorola

[grizzled frost]

(almost unusable)

[fallow yacht]

nah that's old school, screen sensor is better

[wheat torrent]

its not imo

[orchid trellis]

A phone that doesn’t involve one from google

[gleaming rose]

i think power button fingerprint is better too

[grizzled frost]

you can always see the screen sensor, it is definitely worse

[gleaming rose]

google is THE MOST STOCK android experience

[gleaming rose]

that isn't true

[wheat torrent]

wdym

[orchid trellis]

Idgaf

[gleaming rose]

pick two:

• not from google
• stock
• from factory set up like that

[grizzled frost]

i have never seen a screen based fingerprint sensor that doesn’t leave at least some sort of mark

[wheat torrent]

how do you see it?

white screen?

[gleaming rose]

the newer flagships it's invisible

[orchid trellis]

My old s20+ didnt have a mark on the screen for the finger print reader

[wheat torrent]

I definetly cannot see my fingerprint sensor

I looked at a gray and white screen

not a flagship phone

[gleaming rose]

the optical ones may be visible but the ultrasonic ones are not

[little vigil]

new laptop boiss

has rtx 5070 but disabled it cause not using right now

[wheat torrent]

oppo reno7

[viral kayak]

Why would you disable it at all?

[gleaming rose]

battery

[little vigil]

heat

[wheat torrent]

battery

[gleaming rose]

heat

[little vigil]

and not gaming right now as steam is getting fucking railed by ddosers

[wheat torrent]

hot

[little vigil]

yeh

[wheat torrent]

dont you need to restart if you want to enable it?

[little vigil]

no not anymore

u can do it on the spot

[wheat torrent]

what you can just turn it off?

[gleaming rose]

yes

[little vigil]

yea

[wheat torrent]

wow does it change display adapters automatically

[little vigil]

screen doesnt even flicker

[wheat torrent]

what nooo way

[little vigil]

its really nice

[wheat torrent]

thats dark magic

[fallow yacht]

imo faceid is better for intuivity

[little vigil]

and i got the oled 165hz 2560x1600 display

for that epicness

[fallow yacht]

you always feel like you've never added a lock

[wheat torrent]

I feel like I would be sleeping in bed on the side

[little vigil]

i upgraded from my old laptop with i3 350 M to this bad boy

[wheat torrent]

and would have to slightly stand up and lock in to be able to turn my phone on

[gleaming rose]

worse for security on anything but an iphone

[fallow yacht]

nvm i misread it

[fallow yacht]

ye that's y i said faceid not normal facial recognition

[wheat torrent]

I think a powerbutton sensor is more intuitive than both

it's soooo fast and on my poco phone you could choose if you want to actually press it or just touch it

[gleaming rose]

i agree

[wheat torrent]

with the touch mode I would have it in my pocket and the phone would be unlocked before I would even take it out

[gleaming rose]

more reliable too

[stray portal]

Yall like razer stuff?

[wheat torrent]

because it has like a grove so your finger goes into the exact spot automatically

[gleaming rose]

overpriced and poor quality; guess

[wheat torrent]

software bad software

[stray portal]

My seiren mini is really good not bad hmm

[gleaming rose]

yeah synapse is chinese spyware

[stray portal]

I paid so little for it

[little vigil]

this shit boutta be the bomb for my quest 3

[stray portal]

Isnt razer american

[little vigil]

i got my basilisk v3 for like 25 usd and it lasted me 7 years

[gleaming rose]

they're singaporean nevermind

[little vigil]

wonderful mouse

[fallow yacht]

imo android phones should have infared facial recognition

[gleaming rose]

the software is still poorly optimized spyware

[warm sky]

if i wanna get steady 240 fps on most shooters like fortnite apex and r6 what specs should i be looking into if i play 4:3 in those games

[fallow yacht]

but that removes the punchole aesthetic

[gleaming rose]

probably some fuckass patent that says no

[stray portal]

Is asus better or worse than razer

[gleaming rose]

not necessarily

[fallow yacht]

i mean samsung tried

[gleaming rose]

pop up cameras

[stray portal]

Honestly i despise armoury crate so much.... it pmo that it forces me to install 10 million things

[fallow yacht]

but it's just eyes

[wheat torrent]

I paid 5 dollars for my razer nari

[steel glade]

Is that really tge issue?

[gloomy sleet]

first of all why on earth are you playing at 4:3 second of all what is the budget for this build?

[gleaming rose]

yes

[orchid trellis]

What phone has the best wireless connectivity?

[wheat torrent]

are stutters in all games?

[gleaming rose]

not an answerable question

[tawdry coyote]

@gleaming rose any way to fix?

[orchid trellis]

Stability. Not “it has 5g”

[warm sky]

about 3-4k

[gleaming rose]

again - not really answerable

[steel glade]

Yes anything like forza horizon or motorsports

[steel glade]

Okay

[gleaming rose]

4g and 5g are in general quite stable and any phone from a known manufacturer will perform just as well as any other - the 5g radio is built into the chipsets (like the snapdragon 8 gen 5)

it's better on the newer phones

[orchid trellis]

Well there is clearly a difference. Ive seen some people on my ship get perfect connection where as my phone doesn’t

[wheat torrent]

is there a certain pattern to the stutters ?

[gleaming rose]

this will happen when they are on different cellular carriers

[orchid trellis]

Same carrier

[gleaming rose]

and what are the phones being used in this situation?

[orchid trellis]

Yes.

[steel glade]

When ur driving its random and visible. It used to be smooth at 240 but i cant go higher then 120

[gleaming rose]

tfdym yes

[orchid trellis]

A ship of over 3k people. The answer is yes

[gleaming rose]

and what was your phone?

[orchid trellis]

15 pro max

[gleaming rose]

apple moment

[orchid trellis]

Thats why im debating switching back to android.

Assuming i dont have storage issues again

[gleaming rose]

every single flagship android with the same chip will have negligible differences with reception

[wheat torrent]

did you monitor your system during a gameplay session to see if everything is in order?

[orchid trellis]

50gb of “other data” that I couldn’t figure out how to delete without resetting the phone. Thanks samsung

[gleaming rose]

this happens on iphones too

[wheat torrent]

temperature being normal, ram and so on, looking at the cpu usage of other softwares

[orchid trellis]

No it doesn’t

[steel glade]

Ya 50 to 70% usage

[wheat torrent]

there is a lot of variables

[gleaming rose]

and on windows, and every other available software solution because they're all so poorly engineered

[orchid trellis]

Every Samsung phone i had did that. Hasn’t happened at all on my iphones

[steel glade]

I can re try the windows or should i just updgrade to 11?

[stray portal]

Hmm the razer orochi seems good

I have the money for it but i cant justify getting a new mouse when my cureent one is working fine 😔

[mental mural]

is the 7800xt still worth it for £420 or is the 5060ti for £380 a better deal?

[stray portal]

WE are recreating ishowmeat

And the kinda homeless

[stray portal]

The 7800xt beats it by a lot

And its better imo cuz more vram

[mental mural]

am talking about 5060ti 16gb tho

[mental mural]

mhm

[stray portal]

Still the 7800xt has better performance

[mental mural]

okay thanks

[wheat torrent]

the kim kardashian fortnite skin though

[hexed tapir]

Depends if you like upscaling and ray tracing more then raw raster performance

[clever laurel]

hey everydbody, im just about to swap mobo, ram, cpu and gpu, from lga to am5, is it possible for me to just chuck my drive thaat already has windows and some apps in and THEN do a clean install of windows or do i need to completely wipe my drive

[spring latch]

I forgot how much shit i was in and I managed to boil my server list down to this =]\

[spring latch]

as long as you dont reuse the already installed windows thats alright

[clever laurel]

wdym reuse

[cosmic idol]

huh..

It should work regardless lol

[clever laurel]

ill literally just take my drive out, put new parts in and then put my drive back in

[cosmic idol]

You can literally use the same windows install iirc
I mean wipe it if you want but
It shouldn’t matter realistically

[spring latch]

trust me it might not

i did this and the more modern machine did not like the drivers from kaby lake

BSOD on boot

its best to back up nessisary data and do a fresh install to ensure old drivers dont conflict

[clever laurel]

yeah but im confused on what a fresh install is, is that completely wipe my C drive and have all my games on my D drive?

cause i have windows on my C so do i wipe that

[spring latch]

if your games are on same disk different partition as long as you dont delete the games partition in windows setup its fine. if your games are physiclly on a seperate disk, dont install the games disk in the PC so you dont accidentally install to that

[clever laurel]

yeah so i will install my C drive which has windows on it and some games

but most are on my D drive

[spring latch]

is the D drive another physical drive?

[clever laurel]

yes,

i have a 1tb c drive which has windows on it and a 2tb D drive which doesnt have windows and only games

[spring latch]

alright, well just be careful, use the windows media creation tool on a USB with 8GB or more of space, and install responsibly

[clever laurel]

yep, any videos you reccomend sdhowing how to do this?

i cant seem to find any that explain it wel

[spring latch]

ltt made a video on how to properly install windows

[clever laurel]

ok thank you,

so when i put my drive in it will still be like an out of box experience even though stuff is on it? \

[spring latch]

fresh install wipes data, so back up data you want from the C drive

if you have enough free on the D drive you could back up to there

[clever laurel]

yep already moved all games to D

but im just saying like when i put my c drive into the freshly swaapped mobo it wont istantly boot up it will prompt me like a out of box experience

[spring latch]

what board manufaturer u got

[clever laurel]

gigabyte b650 aorus elite ax v2 is what im going to

[spring latch]

flash the USB first with the windows media creation tool, then when powering up the new PC, right when you hit that power button, spam F12 until the boot menu shows up then select your flash drive

that will get you to the windows installation if done right

[left dove]

So fucking manyyyyyy

[normal tusk]

tamales

[viral kayak]

What is that

[formal sonnet]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamale

[winter lantern]

I think bro might be Hispanic

Just a hunch

[pearl swallow]

It can be perfectly fine (LTT does this all the time for their machines for videos) and it could not be fine. Doesn’t thirst to try

[plain cypress]

Christmas tamales go hard

[winter lantern]

@empty quartz
Almost Christmas

[empty quartz]

Kaby lake to amd?

Or to a newer intel platform

[steel glade]

@wheat torrent @delicate geode

Im re installing windows i will let u know how it went

[empty quartz]

Because ive used the same ssd for multiple systems to use as a boot drive for benching

[spring latch]

newer intel platform

[empty quartz]

Might be user error then

[winter lantern]

Like people using the 15th gen

[spring latch]

idk i just did a direct NVMe swap from gen 7 to gen 9.5

didnt work out

[wise bone]

hey chat

[empty quartz]

Elaborate on your upgrade

[winter lantern]

Bro must have lied about your name or something 🥀

[wise bone]

got these for Christmas 🔥

[wise bone]

Currently using them rn 🔥

[spring latch]

I was taking my dads higher end PC but he didnt wanna lose his data so I did an NVMe swap, only in safe mode did it boot, and even removing basiclly all drivers still caused it, so i just installed linux on a nother partition so he still has his data

[winter lantern]

W

Budding it 🔥

[spring latch]

I didnt get all that much cuz my family is poor but i got a weather radio and a diy radio kit

[empty quartz]

Not what i meant

[wise bone]

They suit well with last year's Christmas present 😂

[spring latch]

what am I supposed to elaborate on?

[empty quartz]

Parts

Forehead

[wise bone]

ahem ahem, I'll do it for you ig 🤦

[spring latch]

it was a transfer to a helleron PC, and intel graphics

er but since removing drivers didnt work then well yeah

[wise bone]

duh

[spring latch]

but whatever i already did linux, he still has his data, thats over with

[wise bone]

good

what Linux specifically

[spring latch]

peppermintOS

[wise bone]

that's a new one

[spring latch]

well, its my goto choice for a shit machijne where im too lazy to arch it

was infact my first distro ever

[wise bone]

that's cool

[spring latch]

since he doesnt game anymore I felt his i5-7400/RX 580 was just going to waste for him to just be watching videos

when a J4125 can do that perfectly fine (Yes it has 8GB of RAM not 4GB)

[wise bone]

lol

[left dove]

I'm white as fuck tbh but we have folks from Mexico in for chrismas

[spring latch]

er but yeah now I have that i5-7400/RX 580 and it turns out SOMEBODY at cyberpowerPC or inbetween when the PC got shipped gave a tampered downclocked vBIOS, only 8 years later did I figure oit out and fix it

[empty quartz]

@spring latch Do you have a picture of the bluescreens

[spring latch]

not to be rude but hey incase u havent noticed i said I already installed linux and he has his data, and no I dont

[vague glacier]

Attention scoundrels of tech-chat-1! I am returning my m1 MacBook pro because apple OS feels weird and I will be buying a Thinkpad with a 13th gen i7

[fast marsh]

A have a ASUS 4080 and it gets extremely loud when over 70c. I have toyed around with the fans and 60percent speed seems to yield about the same cooling as 100 percent. I am using MSI afterburner but the GPU just seems to ignore my custom curve. How do i force my fan curve on my ASUS GPU?

[fast marsh]

At gunpoint? Otherwise you have to wait.

[zealous plover]

Where should I get cheap windows keys?

[fast marsh]

[wheat torrent]

where do you live

[zealous plover]

In china

[zealous plover]

In bills house

[wheat torrent]

what kind of keys

[formal sonnet]

Officially, from Microsoft or an authorized reseller. Unofficially, see #rules 9.
https://www.microsoft.com/d/windows-11-home/dg7gmgf0krt0/0008

[wheat torrent]

oh

you're talking about windows licenses

not keyboard keys...

[zealous plover]

Bruh

I said cheap windows keys

Microsoft isn’t cheap

[wheat torrent]

license keys

[high lava]

So.. did AWS go down again?

[zealous plover]

Amazing whale speakers?

[turbid shore]

funny

[high lava]

If you say so pal

[turbid shore]

all i own are thinkpads

[wheat torrent]

https://youtu.be/yJkRd9py5mA?t=448

[turbid shore]

every laptop that i ever had apart from this one Zbook

were thinkpads, my entire house is filled with them

[winter lantern]

Why people saying ssds are like ram
Theyre the same price as always

[high lava]

If only ThinkPads had better trackpads. And they didn't remove the nub 🙃

[zealous plover]

Am I?

[wheat torrent]

watch the video

[turbid shore]

i put in a glass haptic touchpad from the X1 carbon gen 12

into my P14s gen 5 AMD

[high lava]

Both models are a little too new for me to comment on. My "newest" Thinkpad is a x280

[turbid shore]

"new" would be stretching it lol

its 8 years old

[high lava]

That's still true, as it's the newest I have 🙃

[vague glacier]

You can easily swap in a glass one from china

[high lava]

Laptops have been so stagnant for so long from my point of view, so I haven't bought a new laptop in almost a decade, and never one brand new

[high lava]

Are they any good though?

[vague glacier]

I believe they are OEM for much higher end lenovo computers x1 extreme or something?

What matters is they're better than the mylar stock ones and they only cost $20

[turbid shore]

yeah thus

[high lava]

I'll do some research in to that. My current beater laptop is a 240x

[gleaming rose]

just found a small fortune

[turbid shore]

thats DDR3 ?

[gleaming rose]

yeah

[vague glacier]

I have a drawer with like 5 sets of various ram kits behind me.

[wheat torrent]

fortune

[turbid shore]

nobody wants DDR3

[gleaming rose]

still probably worth like $10

[wheat torrent]

keep your fortune

[gleaming rose]

I can buy an eighth of pack of gum with this much money

[vague glacier]

My 32 GB of DDR5 will buy me a year's worth of water in 2060

[high lava]

Not rn, untill it becomes "vintage"

[plain cypress]

I hope you don't consider $10 a small fortune

[turbid shore]

i mean the x280 was a meh laptop to begin with

[gleaming rose]

it's s shitpost y'all 😭

[high lava]

I don't use these laptops for their lackluster compute, they're more a portable terminal for me nowadays

[plain cypress]

Serious posts only

[high lava]

Keep them an other 14 years and you'll likely get some money out of them

[vague glacier]

That's what basically all computers will become in the next 5-10 years if AI doesn't entirely collapse.

We're all going to be renting data center compute

[high lava]

I pray to higher powers that AI at our current understanding and use case crashes and burns 🙃

I'm going to become a digital caveman if that's our future. Life is too short as it is, we don't need companies hamstrung us to such a extreme degree

I have 2x 1GB of the same DDR3 sticks. They're impossible to get rid of cause nobody wants 1GB sticks.

[high lava]

They're a fun time capsule if nothing else

[wheat torrent]

you know how there are sata to usb enclosures

[thorny saddle]

Noooo Arc Raiders nooo! I have 15-30 mins while my kiddos go to sleep and you are down 🙁

[high lava]

I keep such sticks as testing hardware anyways

[wheat torrent]

they should make this for ram with batteries

[turbid shore]

no not really, for companies like intel and microsoft, they wont let it happen

[high lava]

I noticed that game servers was down too

[vague glacier]

I think a few years ago you'd have included Nvidia in that list.

[formal sonnet]

No. Such a product would cost more to make + maintain than buying a USB Flash drive...

[turbid shore]

same for AMD, why would they willingly just throw away everything just so fuckass altman can charge us money

[turbid shore]

yes, yes i would have

[glass iris]

I’m running a Ryzen 5 5600X with an RTX 5080.
In games, my GPU sits at ~99–100% usage, while my CPU shows only ~25–30% usage.

Why does this happen?
If there was a CPU bottleneck, wouldn’t the CPU be close to 100% and the GPU lower?

Is this normal behavior?

[wheat torrent]

can ddr3 saturate usb 3

[turbid shore]

yes

[thorny saddle]

I wonder if its because of kids/etc., being home/off for xmas or if its a DDoS but damn

[high lava]

Depends on game, but something seems out of place

[glass iris]

like every

[high lava]

Likely abit of both

[glass iris]

am i the first one having this issue

i just got the gpu new

[thorny saddle]

Because whatever game you are playing, its GPU bound, not CPU bound. What resolution?

[high lava]

What ram do you have?

[wheat torrent]

whats the issue?

[turbid shore]

no, most games dont benefit from anything over 3-4 cores, most dont even go above 2 if they can help it

[glass iris]

1080p

[high lava]

Have you checked your bios settings? Re-bar and xmt etc

[thorny saddle]

What game

[glass iris]

portal rtx

[thorny saddle]

lol

[high lava]

Well.. there you go

[thorny saddle]

Yeah dude... that game needs like 5% CPU and 1,000% GPU with RTX

[turbid shore]

rofl

[glass iris]

also happnes in 3d mark i have a -1k below avg score

[turbid shore]

keklmfao, laugh at this user

[high lava]

No, why?

[turbid shore]

dude that game is single core dependant,

[wheat torrent]

2007 puzzle game with 2025 graphics running 20% cpu 100%gpu

[thorny saddle]

enable rebar

[turbid shore]

💀 it matters fuckall even if you had 192 cores

[high lava]

They're asking for advice as they don't know why it's being so unbalanced. So don't be mean about it

[thorny saddle]

https://github.com/Orbmu2k/nvidiaProfileInspector/releases

Download this, search "rbar" set it to enable, reboot

[gleaming rose]

how do I not have one single unused hard drive 😭

[glass iris]

yea its time for me to get off

ik

[high lava]

I agree, look up if you have that option enabled

[turbid shore]

fair enough

[plain cypress]

i have 3 unused sata ssds

[gleaming rose]

I need one so bad rn

[plain cypress]

and a couple unused 2.5" hdds

[gleaming rose]

I don't want to order because it will take like 2 weeks to arrive with Christmas

[thorny saddle]

spares 😐

[gleaming rose]

lmao

[plain cypress]

I have the top drive with a different sticker

[gleaming rose]

I used to have a 2.5 HDD laying around idk where it went

[high lava]

politely steals your organs.. I mean.. your ssds

[gleaming rose]

this but no hard drives

worse is I have a shitload of SAS drives but I can't use them because my PC is SATA

[high lava]

I would love to load up on 2tb nvme drives. 8tb ones would have been nice as well, if price wasn't a factor

[clear canyon]

Thats a whole png worth of storage 😲

[high lava]

You could get a SAS add-in card.. no?

[gleaming rose]

may as well order a hard drive then

[high lava]

Well, depends on how big and many sas drives you already have

[glass iris]

okay trying it out

[gleaming rose]

the SAS drives are in a server

[high lava]

Also use case. If you can use them in a raid in a Nas

Yeah

[gleaming rose]

I use the server occasionally so I think that's out either way

I can borrow one from a friend - I gave him a Thinkpad so it's fair game

[viral kayak]

I’ll take 2

[vague glacier]

I wish I could show off all my extra drives but I currently have all of them installed in something.

[gleaming rose]

all in a raid 60, 5tb usable storage

well I'm lost idk what to do here

[winter lantern]

Am I cooked

[thorny saddle]

Do you have PBO enabled

Also is rebar enabled in BIOS

[viral kayak]

Is it worth it to save 40 bucks on a cpu if it means I’ll get it at a different time

[thorn pewter]

if your on a budget yes

[viral kayak]

I mean saving money for the exact same processer is nice

[thorn pewter]

yeah plus you can spend that 40 on like a cooler, ssd or towards other parts

[glass iris]

nope

i just downloaded the studi drivers and it got a bit better

[dire atlas]

Should I use A1B1 OR A2B2 (RAM)

Yo guys for $585 CAD, is this a reasonable build? I know that the CPU is old, but with that extra leeway I can get a really nice looking case with 9x argb fans

$120 - Aorus Elite B450 mobo
$100 - Ryzen 7 3700x
$25 - Thermalright Peerless assassin 120 SE
$135 - RTX 2070 (3 fans so can be overclocked fine prob)
$65 - EVGA 650 GQ
$110 - White panoramic atx case w/fans
$30 - Misc parts (e.g gpu sag bracket, cables bc im buying used, cable management etc)

I've alr got 2x8 2133mhz ram, which is slow but it'll save me a lot of money from buying new ram. Also got a 500gb 970 evo nvme ssd and a 500gb generic sata ssd, so good enough storage for me. I went with the perrless assassin over a stock cooler since in the future, I'll probably throw in a better cpu and do overclocking, plus it was only $10 more than a wraith prism or stealth used. I haven't bought any of the parts yet, but these are what I shortlisted. For the mobo bios, if it isn't already updated, I'll just borrow a friend's cpu for it. Any suggestions to my parts list? It's gonna be my first build. Everything used except case and misc parts.

[high elm]

at least your #1

[wheat torrent]

fans != performance

more money on case than on cpu gg

b550 mobos should cost around 100 dollars

[spring latch]

i feel like my HDD is too fast like sometimes I forget im even using an HDD

[wheat torrent]

b450 has no gen4

[spring latch]

im gonna guess its because its from the fact that its one of this HDDs with 1TB on a singular platter

[wheat torrent]

try loading tarkov

[spring latch]

what is a tarkov

[wheat torrent]

something you can now escape

[spring latch]

not useful

[winter lantern]

I am on my real combo too

[shy arch]

HOLY I actually js found a B550 for $100 😭 anyways I like how the fans and case look, especially since I'll be saving only around $40 buying another case, which is a really ugly case

[wheat torrent]

what cpu can you get with 150

actually compare r5 5600 with r7 3700 you got

[shy arch]

can't find that for $150

lowest is $195 for a 5600g

no normal 5600 or 5500x

Aaaand nvm somehow a new 5600 is cheaper than a used one 💀

[high elm]

are they that expensive in your area? a b450 in my area is about $40 and the 2070 is a gen 3 card

[shy arch]

DAMN

[high elm]

and 3600’s are like $35

i dont think you should be paying $100 for a b550 though

[shy arch]

I rlly thot i got a good price 😭

Yo why is everything new cheaper than used

[high elm]

i got my b450/3600 combo for $65

[shy arch]

from where?

[high elm]

cuz people selling 2nd hand ‘know their worth’

[high elm]

i got it 2nd hand i sniped it the moment it showed up

[shy arch]

lmao

average meta pc shorts

[high elm]

you should try looking elsewhere though unless thats really the best your market can do

[shy arch]

I mean theres only kijiji and fb marketplace here, and i don't really wanna use marketplace. I'll prob js use a mix of kijiji and newegg

thx tho

[high elm]

np but if you have access to chinese online marketplaces like taobao the prices are way more competitive

but they usually only ship within asia

[wheat torrent]

tweaking

[wheat torrent]

a brand new 5 5600 is 120 bucks

[fickle ivy]

Tf?

[shy arch]

not where i am

[wheat torrent]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_G3Pcw7oyU

a ryzen 5 5600 will provide quite better performance than ryzen7 3700

[shy arch]

yh ik but the prices where i am are wild; i'll def try to get a 5600 tho

[wheat torrent]

try getting a b550 and a r5 5600 instead of b450 and r7 3700

[formal sonnet]

Steam has revoked your ability to play games. Please stand by for their new subscription pricing... /s

[wheat torrent]

in most games gen3 and gen4 is roughly the same

but in some there will be a difference

mostly in 1% lows

[shy arch]

Well I'm not sure abt the legitimacy of it but on alibaba I can get a 5600 for $136 cad which is perfectly fine by me

[wheat torrent]

you in canada?

[shy arch]

yup

[wheat torrent]

no way there are no r5 5600 in canada

[shy arch]

bro on kijiji there's actually such a huge shortage of 5600's

literally every cpu but a 5600, so then the only viable option left is buying online

[wheat torrent]

so this is shown in cad or usd

[shy arch]

cad

i got the same

[wheat torrent]

https://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX00114455 this is 145 USD

did cpu prices increase

[shy arch]

Well that is def cheaper than the average for it here

Ig so since I also heard rumours abt higher amd prices

[wheat torrent]

I bought my r5 5600 for exactly 100 USD

brand new

[shy arch]

damn

[wheat torrent]

with a cooler

[shy arch]

coolers come standard i think
well ig i could wait a year and see if the prices improve

[wheat torrent]

no you can buy tray ones

[wheat torrent]

maybe worse

[shy arch]

i see

So, it's $630 for the same build but with a B550 and a R5 5600GT. $45 is worth it, i think for a drastic difference in cpu perf, and a new B550 is saving me $20 than a used B450 😂

[terse dome]

How big of a performance increase do you all aim for when upgrading the gpu

[shy arch]

My current diff is gonna be a +1,347% increase

Normally I'd say go for at least 30%

[terse dome]

outliar and should not be counted

[terse dome]

im looking at maybe getting a 9060 xt 16 gb going from a 3060 12 gb

And putting the 3060 in the computer i have by my tv which has a rx 580 at the moment

[buoyant bridge]

I am currently in Texas what weird tech do I experience while I'm here

is there like any weird tech in Texas I can photograph

[shy arch]

In terms of raw power you're looking at around a 40% perf increase, but ur 3060 does have DLSS which is generally a bit better than fsr 4 and frame gen, i believe. TL;DR, prob worth it

[winter lantern]

You must have some garbage

[shy arch]

Radeon HD7730M in a laptop almost as old as me 😎

i've got a ps5 tho so i don't use it much

[winter lantern]

Is it old enough to have a disc drive

[shy arch]

yup

[winter lantern]

🥀

[shy arch]

Dell Inspiron 15R SE 7520

I mean I've got 6 other laptops

but that's the only one with a gpu

[winter lantern]

I think my Chromebook mogs it

[shy arch]

Bro after some wild mods I get 30fps on tomb raider definitive edition

[topaz ingot]

there's a tech u can do in Dallas Farmer's Market where if u hold down on the left stick and press A, and then B 50 frames after, u clip through the floor and get free food. texas is big tho so im sure there's ton of other tech

[winter lantern]

🥀

Well what u upgrading too

[shy arch]

prob a 2070

[topaz ingot]

from?

[shy arch]

hd 7730m

(2gb gddr3)

[topaz ingot]

i dont even know what that is lol. sorry. sounds like a big upgrade tho

[shy arch]

I mean i could go for smth better than a 2070 but i wanna make the pc look good as well

[shy arch]

LMAO that's when u know it's old

[topaz ingot]

ngl u should save

but just me tho. also i dont care about looks at all

[shy arch]

Nah i've got a ps5 for everyday gaming alr

so if i want great graphics, then i'll just use that but i love pc's and the 2070 is fine with me

[topaz ingot]

2070 used right?

[shy arch]

yup, $135 cad

[topaz ingot]

oh sick. thats actually pretty good

[winter lantern]

An ass laptop

[terse dome]

im like really sensitive to temporal instability so i kinda hate using dlss anyway

[buoyant bridge]

I'm in El Paso to see family but I gotta head over to Dallas for some work related stuff so I might

[terse dome]

Besides the fsr redstone stuff is supposed to be peacy keen

[shy arch]

Hey I respect that laptop; it carried my childhood

yh fsr 4 is much better than the previous ones

there was a lot of hype abt it

[winter lantern]

I plan to upgrade from a 1650 super to a 5070 ti

[shy arch]

solid choice

[random gyro]

sup peoples

[shy arch]

wsp

[winter lantern]

I lowkey see anything worse then a 5070 pointless because theyre not exponentially better than consoles

[shy arch]

Tbh I'm not building a PC to get better graphics and fps than a console, but js bc i love pc's and wanna have one for the sake of it

[winter lantern]

At this rate I don't see gpus getting much better

[shy arch]

ts is what i got on it 💔 😭

[winter lantern]

Gta 4 graphics

[shy arch]

After upping the graphics my fps was a new level of trash

Still, it is a 12yo laptop that was my first

So not bad, considering that gpu isn't even supposed to run the game

[winter lantern]

Try and run god of war 2018

[shy arch]

I did

[winter lantern]

It works on 2gb tho

[shy arch]

~7 fps min settings

unplayable 🥀 still i've got it on playstation so not that big of a deal

[winter lantern]

Imagine playing god of war fr
(Check my profile)

[shy arch]

also y'all how good/bad are airpods pro for gaming? I don't really wanna buy an expensive headset

imo 2018 was peak

better than ragnarok

[winter lantern]

Like any earbuds gng

[winter lantern]

Connect it to the TV you play your ps5 on

[terse dome]

at this point im just in too deep i think

[shy arch]

Yo discord added zelda to the games thingy??

[terse dome]

like im not gonna rebuy my whole library on ps

[winter lantern]

Theyre popular ofc

[terse dome]

i always do upgrades piecemeal

[shy arch]

Damn it wasn't there like a month ago

[winter lantern]

Imo the benefit of pc is that you dont need to buy games

[shy arch]

FRRR

[winter lantern]

Wasn't this added like a month ago

[shy arch]

idk i added a bunch of games to my profile like a month ago and couldn't find it then

[terse dome]

Well the high profile ones you do

[shy arch]

Nah

[terse dome]

oh youre thinking like that

[shy arch]

bro i will NOT trust him anywhere near my pc

Ngl but like his remaining two braincells are constantly fighting each other in a deathmatch

[wheat torrent]

Latency too big

[shy arch]

Aight

[terse dome]

Arent airpods pro expensive lol

[wheat torrent]

They are

They are apple product...

Ofc its expensive

[winter lantern]

Airpods are badly shaped highkey

[shy arch]

I like their fit in the ear tho

First in-ear earbuds that don't keep on falling out for me

[wheat torrent]

AirPod pro is over ear headphones

[shy arch]

Generally tho i do prefer headsets, it's js that they're convenient for school or the gym

[shy arch]

Airpod max

[wheat torrent]

O

Pro and Max

[shy arch]

Yup

[wheat torrent]

Tuff

[shy arch]

Airpod is big case, Pro is small case, Max is headset

[wheat torrent]

But anyway most gaming headphones use dongle for low latency not standard Bluetooth

[shy arch]

how bout a ps5 pulse 3d?

That's got a dongle for pc's, but has anyone used those for pc gaming?

[wheat torrent]

4-5 times better than AirPods

[dire atlas]

Ok i finaly got the pc to post but now it freezes on the asrock screen with a frozen throbber when I plug in my windows 10 boot drive. Any ideas?

[shy arch]

DAMN well that settles it ig

[wheat torrent]

Type shit

[shy arch]

Did that drive alr have win 10 on it

Or did u usb install it fresh

[dire atlas]

Alr?

[winter lantern]

Windows 10 boot drive is crazy

[formal sonnet]

Pretty much anything that uses a proprietary dongle will be better for gaming / low latency uses than Bluetooth. If you're just starting your headset search, I recommend perusing RTINGS.com and https://www.soundguys.com/best-gaming-headsets-12877/ to get a feel for what's out there.

[shy arch]

already

[dire atlas]

Its the thumbdrive I always use to install windows

[shy arch]

No clue then if ur pc posts normally

[terse dome]

i have logitech g735 for what its worth

[dire atlas]

No this is a fresh build im trying to install windows

[shy arch]

Try a mobo port?

[shy arch]

That's a bit on the pricier side

[terse dome]

yeaa but i got a good deal on them

[formal sonnet]

I have the cheaper Logitech G733 if that helps. Main difference is the G733 don't have Bluetooth, but I have other headphones / earbuds for wireless listening outside of the house so it doesn't matter to me.

[dire atlas]

It is

[shy arch]

Well u mentioned that bluetooth adds a lot of latency

[terse dome]

Yea mine can play from both bluetooth and the dongle at the same time

[winter lantern]

Barely

Only matters if its a keyboard tbh

[terse dome]

my phone is connected via bt and my pc with the dongle

[shy arch]

might matter for esports of competitive fps games

[terse dome]

Sound latency is really bad

[wheat torrent]

Try using high latency mouse

[shy arch]

Uhh how bad is an ergo k860 for gaming

[winter lantern]

I connect my pc to my tv to get sound out if it so nah

[wheat torrent]

Or high latency sound

[winter lantern]

Most mice arent that

[shy arch]

Like do i need a new keyboard or will that work

[terse dome]

Your tv which has an hdmi cable??

[wheat torrent]

Most mices except the one that are high latency

[winter lantern]

Yeah

I use a 20 foot hdmi cable

[wheat torrent]

Cable has least latency..

[terse dome]

so low latency then

[wheat torrent]

Few nanoseconds latency

[shy arch]

or if ur mobo has a fibre optic port then u could connect that directly to ur soundbar

[wheat torrent]

...

[shy arch]

that'd be best i think

[winter lantern]

I think its a bit more but ight

[wheat torrent]

With all the logic it's probably a few ms

[winter lantern]

Theres always a few ms

[wheat torrent]

Data in cables travel at the speed of light

Nearly

[terse dome]

Well bluetooth latency is around several hundred milliseconds

[shy arch]

Doesn't fibre optic go at the speed of light

[wheat torrent]

With some minor processing on both ends

[shy arch]

in the cable itself

[wheat torrent]

Fiber yes copper no

[winter lantern]

Holy shit

[shy arch]

NO

[wheat torrent]

In vacuum

[winter lantern]

Why do controllers work then

Because its not with those

[shy arch]

It isn't?

[winter lantern]

Its the same on pc as it is on console

[sage ocean]

Installing the tiny 1 pin pannel connectors is gonna make me crash tf out does anyone know how to make it less annoying

[shy arch]

Ac now that u mention my controller's latency is not noticeable for me

[winter lantern]

Probably is at 240 fps but I aint playing at that

[wheat torrent]

Because they are intended to Be used for gaming

[winter lantern]

Makes sense

[bold olive]

so cheap

[terse dome]

Because it's a lot less data duh

[shy arch]

Whoa monitor prices aren't bad rn

[winter lantern]

Comic sans

[wheat torrent]

The latency on ps5 controllers is 15 ms on average

[shy arch]

$300 cad for an MSI 27" 1440p 240hz

[wheat torrent]

AirPods are 150 ms

[winter lantern]

Yeah that makes sense

The worst latency possible is when you use a wireless screen

[bold olive]

bargain is a bargain
im trying to find a trx50 board to accommodate it

[shy arch]

Aint no way anyone's doing that

[winter lantern]

Not as a main one for sure

[wheat torrent]

Yes

[shy arch]

Hmm yes because I don't want it contaminating my thermal paste when i wanna eat it

No

Those’re actually worse for performance

1dpc is better especially for overclocking

[cosmic idol]

We’ve all been there lmaooo

[frail sequoia]

its a 2007 panasonic lcd tv cause my monitor broke and i need to save up £85-£90 for a 180hz 24" panel (3" smaller than my broken one)

[bold olive]

you paid 100% of ram, use 100% of it

otherwise its kind of funny that im running 6000 mt/s and have a new system for half the price

[frail sequoia]

is it bad too have my headphones plugged into the speaker port if the wire is too short to reach the front?

[bold olive]

if it works, dont touch it

[frail sequoia]

it does work, i usually unplug them and only use them when listening to music

apart from that i use the speakers in the monitor (currently a 2007 tv as my monitor broke)

[bold olive]

oh

[solar moat]

why not go higher?

like maybe 6400 1:1

or try higher like 7200+ 2:1

[magic ivy]

yo if anyone has a quick fix idea on how to fix the screwed up close minimize maximize buttons and my screwed up scrollbar it would be greatly appreciated

[formal sonnet]

These things don't normally break like this on their own. What happened prior to them breaking? Were any Windows theme / UX modification applications / scripts run on your system by chance?

[magic ivy]

nope

All i did that was abnormal today was clean my pc case fans but those are nowhere near my gpu

also my mouse input is fucked up. it jitters and doesnt move precisely

[formal sonnet]

Weird. I've never personally run into this, so all I can suggest is changing between themes to see if it toggles things back into position.

[magic ivy]

tried that

i started a tech support ticket here. It details everything i did

[frail sequoia]

I GOT THE WHEEL!!

[thorny ingot]

Yo I’m building my first pc and my gen 4 ssd is too small for this ssd slot

[little vigil]

new computational device

[little vigil]

bait

[thorny ingot]

?

Are u gonna help or ?

[true stirrup]

That isn't an SSD slot

It's the thing above

And it looks the right size

[little vigil]

hence why i said bait

[thorny ingot]

Nvm I figured it out

[little vigil]

its bait nobody is that stupid to think a m.2 ssd goes in a pcie slot

[thorny ingot]

My first time

[bold olive]

what happens if you break it?

[thorny ingot]

Also no I know it doesn’t go in the gpu slot

[bold olive]

unless if you have deep pockets sure

[thorny ingot]

I was putting it close it for reference

[solar moat]

?

[thorny ingot]

Cause my ssd didn’t reach

[bold olive]

not like my motherboard allows me to overclock past spec

[thorny ingot]

But now I realized this black this is a switch

[bold olive]

ur own ur own

[solar moat]

what cpu you got?

[bold olive]

7600

[solar moat]

RIP 5200 ram

[true stirrup]

Yes you just spin it usually
Or maybe latch it up

[solar moat]

overclocked

[bold olive]

with regular expo which it gave me

[solar moat]

and expo/xmp is overclock

[bold olive]

i was talking about overclocking the overclock

[thorny ingot]

Latched it up Thank you

[bold olive]

i do not remember am5 gigabyte boards that have this mechanism

[solar moat]

and i can buy ddr5 6000 kit and safly run it at ddr5 8000 with out any chance of it dying form it

[bold olive]

how

idk how to change it

[solar moat]

set voltages/timings/clock

[thorny ingot]

B650 aorus elite

[solar moat]

on r5 7600 limit in 1:1 offen 6000 to 6400 2:1 depends on board up to 8000

[true stirrup]

It takes a lot of time and effort in the start
But once you get the hang of it, it's pretty fast

It's quite fun tho

[solar moat]

if you got h16a/h16m slap on buildzoid easy timings there about 10% faster\

[bold olive]

where can I change it

[true stirrup]

Bios

Just try what jjtb7 said if you feel like it

[bold olive]

Which section of bios

on a gigabyte mobo

[bold olive]

im praying my damn system is able to boot

i set my infinity fabric to 2067, don't overwhelm it

[solar moat]

with it maxing out at 2067mhz maybe keep at 2000mhz since there small boost from 3:3:2

[bold olive]

I don't understand the ratios 😭

im trying to move the latency from cl36 to cl34 or 32

or it's locked

[solar moat]

that dose nt matter

[bold olive]

what should I set my memory target speed?

6200 or 6400, base is 6000

[solar moat]

try buildzoid easy timigns

[bold olive]

6400 i guess

god bless my PC will boot and not stuck on dram

[true stirrup]

You just clear CMOS of that happens

[bold olive]

last time I overclocked, it was the cpu and the situation took overnight

[proven carbon]

AHO's low effort timings the goat

[solar moat]

there good for low effort

[proven carbon]

been using them for over a year

7500F with 32GB of Teamgroup DDR5

i bought them for like $95 late dec 2024 in korea and now they're like $300

[edgy holly]

sooo ive been looking for a new laptop for uni work and so far my budget is 2000 euro max (i dont do coding i just want something good that'll last me through uni). so far it seems like a macbook air would be the best choice but is there anything somewhat comparable to it or better in that price range ?

[sage ocean]

poor i5 6300u im transferring a file from SSD to USB

Bro this transfer is going at 512 KiB/s why so damn slow

[thorny ingot]

Is this enough?

[proven carbon]

are you on linux or win 10

[solar moat]

more

[proven carbon]

looks fine but it's hard to tell img is blurry

[sage ocean]

Linux laptop

Trying to install a iso to a usb

[tired bear]

https://tenor.com/view/no-pixels-cant-see-ben-chang-community-ken-jeong-gif-17361588

[sage ocean]

Were up to 812 KiB/s boys

It'll only take another 3 hours to transfer a iso

[edgy holly]

the prices are insane but apparently it's kind of the best laptop for my usecase

[thorny ingot]

Idk if that’s better

[shell sail]

that doesnt look like a lot

[thorny ingot]

They didn’t give me much.

[shell sail]

mmmmmm

i buy separate tubes for this reason

[sinful cobalt]

just squeeze a blob in the middle and let cooler pressure do the work

[shell sail]

i do the X method

[sinful cobalt]

unnecessary for amd

[shell sail]

true

force of habit i guess

i went a bit extra and bought one of those plates that are supposed to fix the supposed am5 cpu bending

[sinful cobalt]

w h a t

[shell sail]

the reason i bought it

was because it obscured the rest of the CPU and frankly makes it easier to clean

plus it was 5 bucks. not really a loss if its dumb

[ocean axle]

its LGA1700 that bends, not AM5

[bold olive]

doesnt this void your warranty

[shell sail]

no

also my motherboard is like 3 years old now so theres not a warranty anymore iirc

[shell sail]

i got it for the easy clean more than the supposed bending (emphasis on supposed)

[ocean axle]

fair enough for the cleaning

my AM5 CPUs just dont get cleaned properly

[shell sail]

freaks me out when i accidently get thermal paste on the resistors or whatever is on the base of the cpu's pcb

[fickle ivy]

I loooooove getting random charges on my card the second I put money on it

From Amazon too

[shell sail]

2 dolla to google!

[fickle ivy]

Nope, $5.24 to amazon

[shell sail]

dispute the charge

[fickle ivy]

Gonna call them tomorrow, if they don't give me my money back, I'll just do a charge back, not connected to any of my accounts anyways
