"If it works it works"

[tidal geyser]

50Mb is steam or ISPs end

try pausing the download and run a speed test

[cold skiff]

ASUS prime boards are the gift that keeps on giving. Those VRMs could burn a hole in the PCB

[rough fable]

DL: 54.44
UL: 20.31

[cold skiff]

I can’t remember steam never giving me like 98% of my bandwidth in download speed

[tidal geyser]

i have seen steam being the issue but it aint common

[cold skiff]

EA on the other hand throttles like fuck download speeds

[tidal geyser]

something with the ISP i would imagine

[rough fable]

ok thanks

[tidal geyser]

wait try your phone and say the speeds

[high halo]

Welp, i did 1080p with 80 res scale and not too bad 35 fps I added a cap

So I proved u wrong

[rough fable]

179 on my phone

[tidal geyser]

lets see how long it lasts until you crash

also i wanna see a screenshot of this

[high halo]

Also how viable is frame gen

[high halo]

Ah ok ill send u a video

[tidal geyser]

show me the cableing setup for the pc

[tidal geyser]

only really great when you already have lots of frames

[rough fable]

like in the back
or where things are plugged into

[high halo]

Is 40 fps considered lots of frames

[tidal geyser]

is the computer directly plugged into the modem with a ethernet cable

[tidal geyser]

120 is more like a lot of frames

[rough fable]

router

[tidal geyser]

and that is directly into the modem?

[rough fable]

yes

[tidal geyser]

go back to the pc open settings network and internet press it then press ethernet scroll down until you see a ton of numbers and such take a screenshot and blackout the stuff next to MAC adress

or just DM me the pic

[rough fable]

what would all the listed items be

[tidal geyser]

speeds and such

[high halo]

here

[tidal geyser]

it could diagnose a bad cable but would be strange considering its 50Mb

[tidal geyser]

aaahhh just the start of it also wow

the pc is not likening this

[high halo]

U mean scrolling thru the settings?

[tidal geyser]

no your inside the mines

[rough fable]

aggregated link speed : 144/57

[slate lance]

hey yall can anyone help me out...im about to upgrade my cpu from 7700x to 7800x3d...current bios version is f32....gigabyte 650 gaming plus wifi..everthing is currently running stable on this version...this version isnt even recommended on their website....Should i run with it and see if it runs stable after the swap or should i do the update? fyi i hate doing bios update im techy but not that techy

[tidal geyser]

no that is for wifi

[ivory mountain]

fuck osu

[rough fable]

wait

[tidal geyser]

yea turn off wifi

[rough fable]

k

[tidal geyser]

might have been wonky trying to use wifi instead of ethernet for whatever reason

[brave brook]

i once had a bad cable which caused ethernet to work at 200mbps real transfer speed

[rough fable]

k

[tidal geyser]

just update now test then put in new cpu

[rough fable]

ty

[tidal geyser]

in this case its only 50Mb

but yea could try that

[high halo]

That could be bc of frame gen

[tidal geyser]

different cable and slap the pc right next to the modem

[high halo]

Even tho I enabled nvidia low latency thing

[tidal geyser]

the audio is killing me

[high halo]

Audio? What does that have to do with the fps numbers

Also what ive noticed frame gen does also reduce latency so id rather keep it on

[stray portal]

Should i use clicky switches or brown switches

[rough fable]

this is making me remember the time where i accidentally uninstalled my wifi driver and couldn't do anything because i didn't use ethernet at the time

[tidal geyser]

yes the counter one but that counter does not know its frame gen

[tidal geyser]

up to you

[high halo]

U mean the latency counter

[tidal geyser]

yes

[stray portal]

I have like gateron red switches, some brown switches idk the company and then some haimu ocean blue switches

[tidal geyser]

its only using the fps

[stray portal]

I think ocean blue might be clicky they pmo the sound

But typing experience is better right

[tidal geyser]

but the game runs at way lower fps

[tidal geyser]

its person to person

[stray portal]

except people who like clicky switches are insane

[high halo]

I mean i tried it without frame gen its lower sloghtly but it has more latency so I decided to enable frame gen, im glad that feature isnt locked to the rtx series

[tidal geyser]

ahhh ok i was getting amds framegen confused the thing in the radeon app is

but games can use the driver based one

[rough fable]

@tidal geyser broooo tysm it works now

asus "prime95" motherboards

[azure topaz]

(104c is fine for vrms tho actually)

[craggy cove]

well if id actually save money by doing so

[azure topaz]

vrms generally throttle your cpu at 110 or 120c

[craggy cove]

doesnt it actually throttle the performance on like a 7950x

[azure topaz]

not at 104c

who is putting their computer in a 150w+ load scenario for an hour+ at a time tbh

not many people

if you are you probably arent going to buy a prime board anyways

[azure topaz]

idk its just useless

[craggy cove]

well not like you should buy one anyway

[azure topaz]

if ur gonna buy a cheapo board it should only be a hdv or b850m-x

[craggy cove]

instead of the b650m get the hdv (#hdvsupremacy)

they even kill non X3D

[craggy cove]

ooh 5 days ago

[azure topaz]

allegedly

[tidal geyser]

no

[azure topaz]

think we talked abhout this in tc2

guy had another board right before this and his cpu was already showing symptoms iirc

[craggy cove]

ok his comments are weird

[proven shoal]

what are the symptoms ?

[azure topaz]

instability

[proven shoal]

do they affect 7800x3ds?

[azure topaz]

just dont worry about it bro

[proven shoal]

i am not, just want to know

[tidal geyser]

suzi's 9600x died on a asrock board

[azure topaz]

then research yourself

[tidal geyser]

shit got burnt on the bottom

[azure topaz]

respectfully, this topic is already beaten to hell

[craggy cove]

conclusion: idk

[azure topaz]

there is no conclusion

[proven shoal]

i did see a darker spot on my cpu contact pins

[azure topaz]

cpus are dying across different vendors

more reported asrock deaths but thats the thiing, reported

[craggy cove]

i mean the msi subreddit isnt full of "my shit broke"

[azure topaz]

exactly

[azure topaz]

if it works its not broken

if you havent had any issues then just dont worry

[proven shoal]

funny thing is my pc is acting weird

but i think thats just the mobo

[steel umbra]

eat the pc and it will not act weird

[craggy cove]

what if sometimes shit just breaks yk

[proven shoal]

a bit temperamental

[proven shoal]

snm

[azure topaz]

are you going to explain it more or just be vague

[craggy cove]

anyway who wants an asrock b650m h m.2 (for sale 70€)

[azure topaz]

im not interrogating this out of you either ask yo question or dont

[azure topaz]

70 is too much if its used lol

[tidal geyser]

i7 7700 and 2070

[azure topaz]

it will sell but it wouldnt be to any smart person

[steel umbra]

tried to clean it?

[proven shoal]

yes

[craggy cove]

exactly

i mean ig if someone wants the cheapest b650 they can find, they can buy from me

[steel umbra]

i’ve once degraded my 7600 by casually changing voltage (increasing) on an asrock motherboard by 50mhz and it behaved strangely

[proven shoal]

basically motherboard doesn't respond at times.
No lights but when I press the flashback button the pc turns on for bios flashback.

[steel umbra]

ryzen 5 7600

[proven shoal]

Once it worked after 24hours and the pc just booted

[craggy cove]

oh nice this mobo wont let me do shit

[proven shoal]

Other time didnt work for 48hours, then i was about to lay the pc down to check everything was fine, it just booted

[craggy cove]

or actually i have it on some pbo -30 +200mhz preset but i dont think it even did anything

Can YOU tell what type of screens these are based off this video? (Vnd sliding from 2 to 32)

[neon ocean]

Say, as a quick question, where would you suggest for one to go to find the best deals for OLED gaming monitors? Seems they're finally reasonable as I spotted a Samsung OLED for $130

[tired bear]

yes

[tired bear]

HP E34m G4 + random portable display

[night granite]

why do you know that off the top of your head?

[tired bear]

i can recognise HP stuff from 10 miles away

[night granite]

do you have any opinions on the screen?

[tired bear]

as i have unboxed hundreds

[tired bear]

mid color reproduction when not exactly in the sweetspot

[night granite]

I got it for 150

so, I'm happy :]

am i right tho?

about model number

Your favorite retailer that sells these monitors in your jurisdiction. There's no singular answer - the art of deal hunting is just that: hunting for deals throughout the year.

[night granite]

are you john hp?

[sage cedar]

https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B0DYG9DKX8/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=A3DWYIK6Y9EEQB&th=1 is this worth it?

[night granite]

5k 💀

[sage cedar]

💀

[left dove]

just buy an oled tv lmao

[sage cedar]

nah got no space in my dorm room :/

just enought for a big ass monitor tho

[left dove]

and you think you have space.. for that..

[sage cedar]

😭

[left dove]

if you can fit that you can fit a 50"

[sage cedar]

yeah but I need a monitor for my program so at least I can do watch and use it yk

[night granite]

why are you purchasing a 5k oled ultrawide on a "need" basis?

[left dove]

because people are stupid with money lol

[night granite]

I firmly doubt anyone "needs" such

[tired bear]

we had ordered one 2 y ago:
gave it to 1st person - didnt like it, returned it
gave it to 2nd person - didnt like it, returned it
on the transport from 2nd person to HQ boss took it home and has been using it for WFH

[sage cedar]

I mean I have the funds and my internship is allowing me to spend a certain amount of money

so rather use it all

[night granite]

just to check, what company?

[left dove]

so you wanna just blow it all on a monitor?

[sage cedar]

I have a pc and etc just need a monitor

[left dove]

ok but can your pc even drive that

[tired bear]

none that you would recognise

[night granite]

I got it at a pawn shop lmao

[sage cedar]

yes it can

I just need to know if the specs of that monitor are even worth it?

[tired bear]

we are not in US

[left dove]

get something reasonable pls

[night granite]

just had to guess

I might call that number honestly

[sage cedar]

is it worth it for the price?

[left dove]

NO.

[sage cedar]

Simple.

[left dove]

learn to extrapolate.

[night granite]

who tf uses a 5k oled ultrawide GAMING monitor

that is the opposite of price to performance

[sage cedar]

im a just get the 240 hertz one then

[azure topaz]

people with money

[craggy cove]

i wonder why i got pinged:

-37l of water

or -0.01 l idk atp

[formal sonnet]

To be fair, you can slap the word "gaming" on anything as a marketing term... at a prior company, my health insurance "wellness account" initially denied my expense claim for a Logitech "gaming" keyboard that I sent them pictures of me using AT WORK because the product had "gaming" in the title. One explanation of "gaming does not mean it's used FOR gaming" and a threat of escalation later, and they approved my claim. I understand that insurance companies be out to deny as many claims as possible because that's how they make money, but still... use. your. brain. insurance. company.

I mean my iternship is allowing me to spend "theere" money so rather just use it all

[night granite]

I spoke too loudly for the bot

[night granite]

I still think you could do better

[neon ocean]

Unfortunately that is Amazon or Best Buy, which I figured there would be some reddit deal tracker thing. But fair enough, thanks for the tip. I'll do some browsing after work

[left dove]

insurance companies can self-immolate with thermite pls

[formal sonnet]

Are you in Canada by chance? If so, RedFlagDeals is love, is life. ❤️

[sage cedar]

what would you recommend then?

[formal sonnet]

something something Insurance companies exist purely on monetizing our anxiety. Don't change my mind, because you can't. 🤣

After all, something AWFUL could happen, so you should give me a little bit of money every month, forever, just in case. Then is something happens, I can decide whether or not I'll give you some money.

[stray portal]

is there any hope for an oled at around 255 euros?

about 300 usd

[night granite]

get a 1080p oled

[stray portal]

ii would geniuenly get that if it existed

[night granite]

same

[stray portal]

im fine with 1080p at 24 inches

[tired bear]

yes

[sage cedar]

my second option was this https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B0F726GPW9/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?th=1

[night granite]

how can you fit this but not a tv

[stray portal]

what really??

[sage cedar]

Like I said I needed a monitor to do work/multitask

[night granite]

you need multiple monitors then dawg

unless you are one of those weirdos that splits it down the middle

[stray portal]

no

ultrawide >>> multiple monitors

i had one and it was literally peak

34 inches of 1440p ultrawide is the peak of multitasking

except it was va and the panel degraded and killed itself, they refused my warranty claims so i went back to a 1080p 24 inch

[tired bear]

sure lol

[stray portal]

also this listing is just fake those "options" are just entirely different monitors

[stray portal]

5 inches

my phone is bigger than ts

[night granite]

all you asked for was oled under 300

[tired bear]

you asked "is there any hope for an oled at around 255 euros?"
and answer is yes

[stray portal]

Unfortunately not, I'm in the US, and Micro Center is in that weird spot of being close enough, but still a rough ride. I'll keep that in mind though if anyone I try to help is in Canada!

[tired bear]

1080p oled screens at 24 inches are not common at all, most are either 4k 16 inch units (for laptops), 27 inch 1440p and 32+ at 4k

@tidal geyser my ssd exploded an hour after i took it out of my pc

[random gyro]

Razer viper v3 pro or logitech superlight 2

If u had to choose 1 of them which

[north pulsar]

logitech

better

[tired bear]

you forgot to defuse it

[random gyro]

People say get endgame but their official site had malware

Same with attack shark

[north pulsar]

im serious 😭

[random gyro]

Great guys to trust

[tired bear]

g305 modded

[north pulsar]

g502 x

[random gyro]

The superlight 2 is bad!?

I was told that logitechs best

[north pulsar]

get logitech mx anywhere 2s

[azure topaz]

g305 doesnt mod very well

[tired bear]

mx master or bust

[north pulsar]

actually get microsoft wireless mobile mouse 4000

[azure topaz]

yeah you can trim it and change the switches but you cant do too much it still ends up a pretty heavy mouse

[north pulsar]

my dad has the original mx master and the mx master 3

[azure topaz]

until you start messing with entire shell swaps

[coarse grotto]

tbh , and nobody will believe this but given the choice,.. none build quality of both brands was below par when i had one of the mice out of theire line up , weirdly enough corsair has had the best build quality so far ,to bad that for windows users ICue is possibly the worst piece of software ever created

[random gyro]

Imma buy an apple mouse fr

[tired bear]

https://www.reddit.com/r/MouseReview/comments/s3v0de/g305_weight_reduction_67g_usbc_charging_mod/

[random gyro]

My steelseries mouse came damaged

[azure topaz]

67g is a lot still

[random gyro]

Can't get worse than that

[azure topaz]

modern corsair mice do not require icue

[random gyro]

I love steelseries keyboards but not their mice

[azure topaz]

i do however agree with you, my corsair sabre ultralight v2 has the least flex out of any lighweight mouse ive tried

36g, very similar shape to a superlight, great sensor, no software required (web based)

[random gyro]

Has anyone ever tried logitech keyboards they're so bad lol

[azure topaz]

just chrome

[tired bear]

i use mx keys at work

[coarse grotto]

i use ckbnext but ... so for me also not a problem 🙂

[azure topaz]

yeah

[coarse grotto]

was about time they did something about that icue thing on window so im glad i was wrong

[azure topaz]

yeah more peripherals are moving to web based apps thank god

the mouse i replaced with the sabre was also web based, my scyrox v8

(they are of equal gaming grade and similar quality, just preference between those two)

[latent gull]

Yeah I liked getting a new keyboard and using the via program to set it up

[coarse grotto]

but corsair uses like decent size components in their mice , eg a physical swithch for middle mouse button both razer and logitech (even in the expensive ones) use metal dome clickers , ...

[azure topaz]

my superlight didnt

it was just a normal scrollwheel press

same w/g305

[latent gull]

It is annoying to use custom peripherals at work and having to download the Logitech app on any computer I want custom key binds for :p

[azure topaz]

and g502 pretty sure

[coarse grotto]

you kow these things

[tired bear]

last logitech mouse i took apart had microswitch on middle click (g402)

[swift stream]

finally installed it

[azure topaz]

yeah i didnt see those on my 3 logi mouses

[coarse grotto]

g502 uses metal dome , i have one open here somewhere

[azure topaz]

not my image

[coarse grotto]

i dropped that one , it fell on the scrollwheel and i had to open it

[azure topaz]

G305

[ivory mountain]

nice it didnt die thats good

[azure topaz]

ig it did have a microswitch on the g502 tho

but thats an actual space constraint cause of how many buttons it already has, cant really say thats a build quality thing

[left dove]

you're a microswitch

[bronze summit]

huh i forgot about the g305

[azure topaz]

i have a modded one and a stock one

and a modded superlight of which ilove

[bronze summit]

nvm I'm stupid

it's more orochi shaped than

[coarse grotto]

[bronze summit]

g305

[coarse grotto]

vs corsair nightsword rgb

i still mis my logitech mx518 tough 🙂

that quality they dont make anymore 😄

(+ i got min for free i won a battlefield 1942 contest :D)

[left trellis]

is intel processor diagnostic tool a valid cpu stress tester

[azure topaz]

its a valid diagnostic tool

[azure topaz]

use OCCT or prime95 or something

[craggy cove]

i gotta do this on mine (well now my brother's) g305 and fix the double clicking

problem is im a soldering genius

[azure topaz]

the only way to fix it is to eplace the switches so i hope you know how to solder

its not that hard and mouses are a good thing to learn on

get solder wick and probably a pump ( generally dont use a solder pump on pad based stuff, but mice are through hole)

[craggy cove]

a guy ik has some soldering stuff so i could steal that

i gotta fix a bass amp anyway

problem is ive never soldered

[azure topaz]

you can get cheapo soldering practice boards do that

dont just send it

consider little clips, i think theyre usually called like "helping hands"

to hold the pcb elevated and stuff

all this stuff is cheeep cheep

[craggy cove]

aliexpress will face my coin induced wrath again

[azure topaz]

yah

shit like this just mad useful

or this

you maybe want flux for this i didnt use any for my mouses tho

[tidal geyser]

be a real man and hold it in your hand while using hot air

[craggy cove]

freaky

[azure topaz]

and its annoying to clean so

[craggy cove]

i can inhale more of those fumes too

[tidal geyser]

nah

[latent gull]

Why they gotta color them like weird kids toys or something, just makes em look silly

[azure topaz]

i mean that vs no cleaning yes

[azure topaz]

its reused parts from other parts of production in the factory

[tidal geyser]

5 sec with a iso toothbrush

[azure topaz]

yeah exactly

gotta get the iso gotta get the brush

[tidal geyser]

i just have a bag of everything i need

[azure topaz]

i think the lil hands with clips themselves are for like extending drills or something so theyre bright for construction stuff

[latent gull]

5 seconds of smelling iso

[azure topaz]

more like 50 that shit lingers at 90%+

[craggy cove]

alright i have a toothbrush and 30ml of 99 iso left 😭

[latent gull]

Kek

[azure topaz]

lets goooo

[latent gull]

Chug chug chug

[tidal geyser]

but yea no flux changes lives when it comes to soldering

[azure topaz]

yeah

quite useful

[tidal geyser]

such a massive difference

also should apply it when hot

[azure topaz]

mhm

so it melty melt

if you consider soldering more get a preheater and stuff

[tidal geyser]

it needs to do stuff with the solder

[craggy cove]

more of a spray which i think is cool

[azure topaz]

at least for any gpu work and such

[tidal geyser]

im not gonna fuck with the core, ever

[azure topaz]

nah not with cheap tools

maybe if you have a 500$ station and 300$ preheater

[latent gull]

Weird way to drink but you do you ig

[ivory mountain]

just use a knife and cut off any capacitors that are in the way

[azure topaz]

along with all the bga stensils and balls

now thats too much to keep track of

[stray portal]

i got so scammed

[tidal geyser]

lets gooo

[azure topaz]

fire

[stray portal]

i bought like one of those cord trays with clamps under the table

[tidal geyser]

but yea i hate BGA anything

[stray portal]

and the metal came off of it i might have gotten poisoned

[craggy cove]

the superior ipa form factor:

[stray portal]

instantly did a return

[tired bear]

for large bga chip you need that big machine that aligns and heats core evenly

[azure topaz]

yeah the big air stations

youre talkin like minimum 1000$ worth of gear for bga core

[tired bear]

this mfer

[azure topaz]

you can do bga memory and stuff pretty cheap but

[tidal geyser]

and at the end of it no clue how long it would last

[azure topaz]

it is still not easy

[craggy cove]

will i need this for my double clicking g305?

[azure topaz]

lol

[azure topaz]

stensils and allat make life easier

[tidal geyser]

most of the tubers i see give up whenever they are pretty sure its a core issue

[azure topaz]

unless its https://www.youtube.com/@northwestrepair

this guy is also just the goat so

[tidal geyser]

about to say

except north

[tired bear]

yes he is

[azure topaz]

yeah he has insane skills

i often watch him and just get baffled

[craggy cove]

no education, just watching chinese yt videos

i wonder whats going on in china then?

[azure topaz]

what do you mean you fixed a broken 4090 pcb without a new pcb

[craggy cove]

the multiple layer pcb layers are the craziest

like how even

[azure topaz]

yeah thats gpu stuff

[tired bear]

tbh lately he ripps northrigefix too much for my liking even tho that mf is an idiot

[azure topaz]

he does but its rightfully so

[tidal geyser]

ERS sorin is also at another level, some mosfets burned a hole trough A LOT of layers and he just kept drilling and drilling in the middle of a laptop board but managed to fix it

[craggy cove]

thermal camera... ok no fix

[azure topaz]

northridge fix is a pretty big idiot although definitely more skilled than me

[mint dove]

Guys im thinking of getting a new mouse. What do you guys think of shark mouse x3?

[azure topaz]

yeah also seen a lot of this stuff

[tidal geyser]

i use it

[azure topaz]

you just gotta get rid of the shorts between the layers which is why it looks so crazy

[tidal geyser]

over my lightspeed

[tired bear]

before NW i used to watch louis alot and his repairs

[tidal geyser]

i got a laptop board i managed to rip the pads under the PD controller but could have been fused and considering just finding wherever the probs 20v needs to go and doing some modifications

[stray portal]

brand new probably not, most i see are either eizo ones very expensive and POS screens

[tired bear]

exactly
louis rossmann and louis rossmann fix

[stray portal]

but these square ones are literally the best thing ever, i dont know if they work on modern windows tho

[azure topaz]

yes they do

its just an aspect ratio lol

[stray portal]

yeah but windows is sloppy idk how scaling would work

[tidal geyser]

aka slap a barrel jack on it or smn

[azure topaz]

you can set your monitor to 4:3 rn

[tidal geyser]

i prefer muh 16:10

[azure topaz]

1920x1440 or something

[tired bear]

i stopped caring

[azure topaz]

its just fine

16:10 is nice but ive accepted that its not the standard and i must simply get fucked and buy a 16:9 instead

[craggy cove]

can i use this for practice

[azure topaz]

16:9 is literally a mix of like every tv standard

"there! now nobody's happy"

[left dove]

all hail the holy 555

[craggy cove]

can we blow up all tvs so we can get rid of hdmi

[azure topaz]

agreed

[tired bear]

all hail the thermal mass of those pins

[stray portal]

thats 5:4 i think

[azure topaz]

either way you see my point it does work jsut fine

it just cant be a low resolution

aspect doesnt matter

[tidal geyser]

someone liked their ne555 too much

[stray portal]

this is still the best thing ever

altho on wiindows 11 its kinda sloppy, the monitor itself has sharp corners but windows are round corners

[azure topaz]

a 640x480 20inch rando thing is going to look like shit cause of the scaling from 640x480 but if it was 1080p (but 4:3) it would be ifne

[stray portal]

whoever thought of that is kinda stinky

[tired bear]

you can get practice set like this

[craggy cove]

why do i actually want one now

[azure topaz]

disable it

[stray portal]

can i??

[craggy cove]

inb4 i burn through every single layer

[tired bear]

perfectly fine

[stray portal]

sometimes my apps just refuse to be round and where its supposed to be square iit fiills with black stuff

[left dove]

dude if you burn through a 2-layer bog-standard pcb you have issues

[tired bear]

no, you just used blowtorch instead of hot air gun

[left dove]

you're like 16 shut up

[azure topaz]

lets you do quite a bit

[stray portal]

im so pissed off my pc doesnt support windows 7

ii would have used that in a heart beat with a legit key too

[stray portal]

noo this one sucks i had it before and it turned everything high contrast but messed up

[tidal geyser]

what like 15 years ago when you would not get malware by just having internet

[stray portal]

and u cant uninstall it either

[azure topaz]

weird

[tired bear]

test it in sandbox first

[azure topaz]

windows may not be linux but i promise you can customize it quite a fuckin bit

"b-but you have to install things to do that!!"

[tired bear]

regedit the glorious

[stray portal]

no os is perfect but windows is the one that works for me even with all the stuff

[azure topaz]

how many fuckin dependancies your shit auto install bro pipe down

[ornate harbor]

I might have a small CPU bottleneck

[stray portal]

atleat where i liive i can uninstall everything bad (funnily enough my 25h2 pc didnt come with any bloatware lol)

[ornate harbor]

[stray portal]

"come with" not like ii installed the iso onto my pc

[tidal geyser]

could just be compiling shaders

[ornate harbor]

You dont know what game it is

[tidal geyser]

ok?

[ornate harbor]

That game doesnt compile shaders

[stray portal]

is this roblox

[ornate harbor]

yes

[stray portal]

really

[ornate harbor]

yes

[stray portal]

😱

[ornate harbor]

They mining bitcoin on my CPU i swear

or its just bottleneck

[latent gull]

Stop downloading dumb things then

[tidal geyser]

i am amazed how roblox games do not crash all the time

[stray portal]

roblox is just slop to make stuff in the game iis probably unoptimised

[ornate harbor]

I mean 50 FPS is still a bit low, cuz i get 100 FPS in cyperpunk

on ultra with RT

[stray portal]

check if u have it capped

[tidal geyser]

what cpu even is this and what gpu

[ornate harbor]

capped at 240

[ornate harbor]

R5 5600 and RX9060XT

[tidal geyser]

AIO on the cpu right?

[ornate harbor]

360mm ye

[tidal geyser]

60w cpu vs 360mm aio nets a whopping 65c

send that cpu to 200w with pbo or smn

[ornate harbor]

The PC is under my desk so heat stacks up a bit

[ornate harbor]

I have never tried OC or smth

[misty mauve]

i need ram

[tidal geyser]

me too

[ornate harbor]

I got 100GB DDR3

[misty mauve]

[ornate harbor]

[tidal geyser]

i got 96 ddr5

[stray portal]

cable management is a pain in the ah

[ornate harbor]

Could by a house for that

[stray portal]

im never buying peripherals again

[tidal geyser]

i got it for 100$

[ornate harbor]

thats why I hide the cables in the back

[stray portal]

i did some cable management today its very good id say atleast for the table

its literally impossiible for me to properly manage the ones behind my pc

[ornate harbor]

My cables dont know managment, they know chaos

[stray portal]

i just tiied them togheter with velcro ties

[ornate harbor]

my PC has better cable managment then my desk

[stray portal]

tbh i ave to get used to thiis now my keyboard doesnt go all the way to meliike i used to get it

[misty mauve]

[left trellis]

the 200 dolla 13900k works

im so green

[tidal geyser]

well

how well does it work

run occt memory with furmark going for a few hrs

[stray portal]

https://tenor.com/view/alien-dance-gif-23011356

[ornate harbor]

I thought about getting a wireless mouse and keyboard untl I noticed that you gotta plug those in for charging too

[stray portal]

run minecraft on it no mods how much fps do u get

[tidal geyser]

like once a month or two

[stray portal]

i find wireless keyboards a waste ur not moving ur keyboard around so the wireless factor is useless

meanwhile on mice i understand it but yea it pmo too that u have to charge iit

[ornate harbor]

Idk my sister has a wireless keyboard and she plugs it in like evryday battery only lasts like 10h

[stray portal]

so ii got a razer orochi v2 it has batteries either AA or AAA

its arriving next month its literally so nice

[tidal geyser]

turn off the rgb

[azure topaz]

why are we stressing the memory controller

[stray portal]

and it has like 1000 hours battery life

sadly im gonna be forced to use signal rgb

[azure topaz]

theres no auto settings degrading the memory controller lol

[winter lantern]

Better preformence

[ornate harbor]

Im never buying razer ever again

[stray portal]

why

[winter lantern]

My razer mouse ive been using for 10 years is fine

[tidal geyser]

the signs of a dying 13-14th genin minidumps tend to claim memory issues so i would imagine occt should be able to detect those too

[azure topaz]

this isnt x3d

[ivory mountain]

i slapped buildzoid timings on my ram so i dont need a fan its working better than i thought compared to my other custom tune

[stray portal]

how do u use a mouse for 10 years

[azure topaz]

you cant apply logic from another arch

[winter lantern]

Actually 6 or 7 years

[azure topaz]

its not even similar that just doesnt apply

[stray portal]

i used to be like thiis and not care about my peripherals or even my tech in general

[tidal geyser]

shit im so sleepy

[ivory mountain]

boiiii 67

[ornate harbor]

because i wanted a nice but cheap gaming keyboard, so I bought a Razer ornata V3X, wich came with defects, not working and flahsing lights, broken keys, i send it back 2 times and everytime it arrived with the same and different errors

[azure topaz]

yes occt is fine at memory stress testing but the 13900K had issues where it would degrade the cores on the cpu, not the SOC or what would be the SOC on an intel CPU

[tidal geyser]

i meant 13th and 14th gen

[ornate harbor]

So i went with some no name keyboard

[winter lantern]

Its a 50$ wireless mouse

So ofc it lasts long

[azure topaz]

its a trojan horse for core degredation

[ornate harbor]

my cabled mouse was like 5€

[winter lantern]

If someone has a 13 or 14th gen all problems with their pc are the cpu untill proven otherwise

[stray portal]

yeah this is true in the past i had like a thousand gaming mice and they were so shit i was fed up and bought a 4 euro mouse and that lasted me like 2-3 years before the click button literally came off of it

[ionic peak]

Daimn that 3 times cheaper than my mouse

[azure topaz]

@tidal geyser just ignore him life is easier that way btw

[tidal geyser]

xd

[ornate harbor]

Im on a budget when it comes to peripherals i spend all my money on hardware and monitor

[winter lantern]

Everyone says my mouse is tiny asf

[tidal geyser]

i hate seeing that

[azure topaz]

me too i end up clicking anyways but i am generally good at it most of the time

[ionic peak]

Absolute management

[stray portal]

theres vencord plugins to fix that

[azure topaz]

thatss cool

[azure topaz]

lmfaooo

[ornate harbor]

I mean not wrong

[winter lantern]

W

Ts guy gets me

[ionic peak]

Ye I do same ( half of my stuff I stole )

[stray portal]

er sir why was i included in this screenshot im going to sue you for emotional damage

[tidal geyser]

i think this was from him wanting to sell a faulty something as working

[ornate harbor]

fr

[azure topaz]

the only piece of advice i give for 13th/14th is just:
do not make the cpu request >1.3 volts in a cinebench all core load

[left trellis]

been running p95 for about 30 mins maybe?

[winter lantern]

Yeah

[azure topaz]

if you do that you will probably be good

[left trellis]

its good so far

temps arnet awful

[ornate harbor]

I stole the mousepad from my brother and somehow he didnt notice it for 6 months

[azure topaz]

open hwinfo, sensors only, find the vcore/vrvout option and cpu vid

show me them

[left trellis]

got the power limit on

[azure topaz]

wow that was nothing i asked for

[left trellis]

Deadass 😭

[azure topaz]

power limit does not matter and it does not save your cpu

[winter lantern]

Bros just showing numbers

[ornate harbor]

Guys should i OC my CPU

[ionic peak]

Me to and did a microfon arm and a microphone with a keyboard and a hdd

[left trellis]

hold on chilll

[azure topaz]

you also ignore him it also makes your life easier

[tidal geyser]

"temps arnet awful"
-zenki 2025

[azure topaz]

89 package is fine

[winter lantern]

Chat how do I unoverclock my cpu

[azure topaz]

102 is when the test started

[left trellis]

this?

[tidal geyser]

well yea

[azure topaz]

looks fine now scroll down somewhere above your GPU and memory, and find vrvout

[ornate harbor]

Should I overglock my CPU serious wuestion

[winter lantern]

Idk

[random gyro]

sup

[left trellis]

I mean, its 90 usually

im not expecting to never throttle 😭

[azure topaz]

what volts does it request in a lighter load, this is why power limit isnt useful

your cpu can still request 1.5 volts as long as its not at 200w

[ornate harbor]

Hm

[azure topaz]

see what im getting at

[ionic peak]

Well I did it perfectly so no one will ask me later where it is

[azure topaz]

the watts do not matter as long as youre not over 1.3 or like 1.35 load voltage

but chances are in single/gaming loads you are

[ornate harbor]

what

[azure topaz]

yeah also this is the problem

[random gyro]

laub and floppa in the same chat

[ornate harbor]

Good or bad

[azure topaz]

i ignore them too

[random gyro]

tbh idk

[left trellis]

word what i do

[azure topaz]

although not like thru discord i just dont respond

[ionic peak]

I took it like behind the curtains

[azure topaz]

what flavor of board do you have

[ornate harbor]

Huh

[random gyro]

ignore laub?

this either makes my life quite easy or quite annoying depending on your answer

Asus PRIME Z690-P WIFI D4 ATX LGA1700 Motherboard

i hear its p bad tho LOL

[azure topaz]

it is bad but its asus so it makes my life super easy

[random gyro]

hmmm

[ionic peak]

No not me just the

[random gyro]

the other one?

[left trellis]

It was the cheapest one I could find 🐀

[azure topaz]

it will be under a motherboard heading

[ionic peak]

No The

[left trellis]

this fine?

[ionic peak]

I stole some stuff for my setup

[azure topaz]

First things first lets just be plain and simple
Go into your bios and set the IA VR Voltage Limit (literally use the search option) to 1.4

[ornate harbor]

dawg

[tidal geyser]

wow that 12v is low

[azure topaz]

yeah still 1.5 max and 1.3 under load is pretty meh

[left trellis]

alr lemme get discord on my phone rq

[tidal geyser]

are you using any extenders or extra power cables?

[stray portal]

vr voltage limit

[azure topaz]

no

ia vr.

[stray portal]

so its not virtual reality

[azure topaz]

no its the cores

[tidal geyser]

voltage core?

no wait, what does it stand for

[azure topaz]

intel arch

aka the cpu cores

[stray portal]

arch linux

[left trellis]

I have cable mod cables

By extra do you mean how the cpu has more than 1 port?

[azure topaz]

no

[left trellis]

Wym by extra

[azure topaz]

11.8 is realistically fine

cable extensions is basically what he meant

just 2 ways of saying it

[tidal geyser]

but if you have issues might wanna say you have extentions

[left trellis]

I got my shit used so i dont rly have any other option 😭

[tidal geyser]

5v is also 200mv lower than i would want it to be but shoulllddd be fine

[left trellis]

Nah theyre connected directly

[tidal geyser]

they are yea but the voltage drop is higher than i myself prefer

[azure topaz]

after that it should at least stop spikes past 1.4 and so on, which is fine for an idling cpu

[tidal geyser]

and has been shown to cause issues on certain systems

[tidal geyser]

have we even checked what bios he runs

[azure topaz]

doesnt matter

[tidal geyser]

i would still prefer the new microcode if possible

[left trellis]

Is that the same as ivr transmitter vddq voltage

[azure topaz]

then at some point, go back into the bios and find the Digi+VRM menu, disable "sync ia/dc loadline with cpu" or whatever

[azure topaz]

thats great. it doesnt change anyhting

[left trellis]

Newest

[azure topaz]

no its not

[left trellis]

Tragic

[azure topaz]

search "IA VR"

i know your bios has a search feature i promise it is useful

[left trellis]

U right twan

[tidal geyser]

ah latest bios and still doing the voltage thing ok i see

[azure topaz]

it still overvolts the cpus, it just stops them from drawing 330w in stock config

realistically it only hurts your performance while still degrading your cpu

[left trellis]

When i do 1.4 is goes to 0

[ornate harbor]

Okay my setup looks better i think

[azure topaz]

the search menu is weird i think you have to press enter after you type 1.4

[left trellis]

I dooo

[azure topaz]

or just press ok its really weird

[left trellis]

Does the same

[azure topaz]

now go to the Digi+ menu in the ai tweaker tab

[azure topaz]

still goes back?

or you figured it out

[azure topaz]

that is the bad

[left trellis]

Goes back

[azure topaz]

oh my bad not 1.4 just 1400

i forgot its in millivolts and not real volts

millivolts are 1000=1 volt

[left trellis]

That works

[azure topaz]

so 1400= 1.4 volts

[left trellis]

Anything else to do?

[quaint mesa]

5060ti is on sale for 250 USD should i get that or 9060xt

[azure topaz]

digi plus menu in ai tweaker tab

[left trellis]

Which

[azure topaz]

likely 8 gig models

[left trellis]

Alr

[azure topaz]

disable "sync ia/dc loadline with cpu"

[left trellis]

5060 ti 8gb is honestly p goated :D

[azure topaz]

also disable/go back to normal power limit

[left trellis]

Thats the same as the acdc one?

[azure topaz]

yeah

[left trellis]

Alr disabled

[azure topaz]

oh swag i mustve cooked here already

whats the load scenario set to if you can find it

[quaint mesa]

wdym which?

[azure topaz]

its like options with "best case, worst case, typical case"

[vale radish]

So I found a few ‘HP Elite Mini 800 G9 i5 12500’ with 16GB of RAM for $125. I’m assuming 2 8GB sticks. DDR5 SODIMM. This is a good buy, right?

[azure topaz]

oh its called svid behavior

[left trellis]

Oh svid behavior

Intel fail safe

[azure topaz]

lol

[left trellis]

I do worst case?

[azure topaz]

set it to typical

[left trellis]

Oh alr

[azure topaz]

disable your power limit and do prime 95 again

well set it back to stock not disabled

let it throttle thats what its made for

[left trellis]

3rd option?

[tidal geyser]

that is laptop sticks

[azure topaz]

homie youre on the wrong box

[left trellis]

😭

[azure topaz]

oh nevermind you responded to the other one

[left trellis]

So the 3rd option?

[azure topaz]

just do the second one

or if you dont want your cpu to go higher than 90c do the third

preference

[left trellis]

Idrc as long as its safe

Is it chill

[vale radish]

@tidal geyser yeah I know. It’s tiny so I assume that much. Right now I’m using a very bad HP Elite Book with a locked bios and 4GB of soldered RAM. ._.

[azure topaz]

your cpu will never request more than 1.4 volts, it is safe unless you manually set greater than 1.4 volts

[left trellis]

Alr

[azure topaz]

thats the point of the IA VR Voltage limit

what we're doing now is fixing intels stupidness while technically not undervolting

but we are still reducing load voltage

[quaint mesa]

5060ti or 9060xt 5060 on sale tn for 250

[tidal geyser]

go for it

[ionic peak]

How much is yours?

[ornate harbor]

How much money?

[tidal geyser]

aint the best one there if all but the 5060 same vram the 5060 ti?

[azure topaz]

now are goal isnt neccsarily to see lower power draw, temps, or voltage

[ionic peak]

178 euros

[azure topaz]

but a higher clock at the same 1.3 load voltage it was already at

if you remember you were at 4ghz

[left trellis]

Alr how long on p95

[azure topaz]

however long

lets see hwinfo

[left trellis]

2 hrs chill?

[ornate harbor]

My entire setup was around 1.5-1.7k€

[azure topaz]

should be ok

[white sphinx]

Love my weird noctua cooler, but idk if it will be enough for a substantial cpu upgrade, 7400f->9800x3d. Noctua nh-c14s iirc

[azure topaz]

these SVID scenarios are basically like presets for the loadline control instead of me telling you to mess with them yourself

so you can fafo

[tidal geyser]

i would imagine the cooling efficiency is the same

[azure topaz]

if you notice stability issues go to worst case

[white sphinx]

I mean its 60w vs 120w

[azure topaz]

if you notice youre perfect stable try a higher one like best case

[tidal geyser]

7400f a cpu using paste on the die vs one not doing so

[azure topaz]

as to keep dropping volts

[left trellis]

alr we back on pc

[azure topaz]

fire

good to know it turned on

[tidal geyser]

send 12v into cpu, now that is fun

[azure topaz]

7500f late models unfortunately same

[random gyro]

hmmm

[azure topaz]

and now some apus

[tidal geyser]

NAUUU

[ionic peak]

See you got 10x the budget

[ornate harbor]

Hmmm

[ornate harbor]

What specs yare you running

[left trellis]

alr p95 running

fw the specs?

[azure topaz]

fire

computing at high speeds, i prefer a gt 730

[tidal geyser]

I wonder if the igpu is better

[left trellis]

its not

[peak knot]

Gt1010

[azure topaz]

my oc card

[white sphinx]

Fair, cheaped out on the cpu when i built it in august so i could get more and better ram (thank god). But now i wanna upgrade, would be ideal if i could keep my weird cooler at the same time.

[azure topaz]

730 ddr3 B)

[azure topaz]

fish 1010

[peak knot]

Fish only came in 710 and 1030

[azure topaz]

prolly same pcb as a 1030 realistically i dont see a reason you couldnt swap coolers

or just jank

[peak knot]

It is not lol

The fish cards use a tall pcb

[tidal geyser]

Very much can

I would imagine a heavy breeze can cool a 9800x3d

[left trellis]

can a 14900k be cooled by a standard dual tower

like a ps or pa nothing wild

[white sphinx]

Nais :) the cooler blows straight into the side panel lol

[azure topaz]

youre finding out rn

[left trellis]

im on an aio twan

[azure topaz]

i see this as a win

[tidal geyser]

You sure it does not blow down?

[azure topaz]

it would be a struggle at peak load but gaming/normal use it would be no issue at all

[left trellis]

Im just so happy I havent had any problems yet I lowk didnt test it b4 I bought 😭
I real life couldve been scammed

[azure topaz]

dont daily cinebench and its fine

[azure topaz]

sooo can i look at hwinfo voltages

and clocks

[left trellis]

yurrr onme sec

[azure topaz]

making sure we didnt somehow make things worse 💀

[azure topaz]

truly unfortunate

[white sphinx]

Yup, its pulling air from the MB to blow to the side panel, manual said either was fine with a 120mm+ fan, its pretty nice since it only takes up 115mm total height over the MB

[left trellis]

was it these?

[steel ledge]

guys a good tv for gaming and not to expansive

[azure topaz]

lopok at that you got 500mhz

and -20mv

[white sphinx]

Samsung’s the wall

[tidal geyser]

any tv tbh

[azure topaz]

lookin good bro

[left trellis]

sick

[tidal geyser]

https://www.cseed.com/

[azure topaz]

make sure you save a bios preset

also look your cpu didnt request 1.52 volts and get it

it only got 1.36 at most

and guess what youre still entirely stock technically

[left trellis]

alr

[left trellis]

would OC be worth ?

[azure topaz]

if you consider not a dual tower cooler and have a good aio yea

make sure its stable at stock first

[left trellis]

is a kraken z73 alright enough

[azure topaz]

no idea realistically

[left trellis]

stable means not crashing or smth else

[azure topaz]

yah, no issues

[left trellis]

alr

[azure topaz]

let it run p95, the window that it opens tells you if workers crashed

make sure no workers crash

[left trellis]

this is high key gonna be a weak ass upgrade but im happy 😭

going from a 13700k

[azure topaz]

i mean its still nice fo sho

and with better bios settings liek we're doing now its sitll gonna be pretty fast

good 13900K's can do like 5.8 or 5.9ghz daily on the pcores

[left trellis]

I was tryna get a 14900k but this was 200 dollars so I couldnt not take it

[azure topaz]

may as well since it works yah

[tidal geyser]

aint the 13900ks kinda almost just a 14900k

[left trellis]

yeah

[azure topaz]

yes although the 14900K is slightly better still binning wise

[ionic peak]

Ryzen 1600x
Gtx 1060 3gb
2x 8gb ddr4 3200
250gb s ata ssd
500gb hdd
B450M Pro-VDH MAX
Sesonix 550w psu

[azure topaz]

its all binning, no chip is ffaster than the other at stock

[left trellis]

13900k isnt far off a 14900k stock

[azure topaz]

13900K=14900K=14900KS=13900KS

but overclocking on each chip does vary

[ionic peak]

Sim its just 125 euros

[left trellis]

3gb

1060 6gb hi key goated

[ionic peak]

Yes

[azure topaz]

13900KS is like maximum 1.5 volts for 6ghz bin, 14900k is like 1.47, idek what 14900ks is

[tidal geyser]

iv done better

[ionic peak]

I got it for free
