look at the router hanging off a cable (its mounted now)

tidal geyser
#

But why are you using routers and not switches

ionic peak
buoyant bridge
#

because I need seperated APs

woven wigeon
#

JUST GET A POWERLINE ADAPTER

buoyant bridge
woven wigeon
#

oh

tidal geyser
#

Poweline sucks

buoyant bridge
#

I mean its actually faster than these routers, but if I ever needed faster its 6A so I can easily go to 10G

tidal geyser
#

Pretty clearly he can do internet

woven wigeon
buoyant bridge
#

these are only 100 mbps routers lol

ima be real I've got a demo hammer and a tractor if I need internet somewhere ill just burry conduit from a building and run 6A from it.

buoyant bridge

the longest cable without a repeater is 300ish foot

I have metal and concrete stairs :D

its basicly that

Hey guys I wanted help on updating my BIOS. Is it possible I can update without a USB. If I do need one can someone guide me on what steps I should do? I have an Aorus Elite B550M.

I would have used cheaper cat cable if I had any that was okay to run in conduit

#

this is litterally just for scanners and a few cameras

# tidal geyser Wut

enterprise connection, I use one plan for a massive property with several buisnesses on it, I acutally get several dedicated IPs

woven wigeon
#

oh ok

buoyant bridge

jump out of their closet and do a good square dance

tidal geyser
#

No

buoyant bridge
tidal geyser
#

Aka a nightmare

#

At least you are using routers and it ain't all just fully open

buoyant bridge
#

yeah lol

#

someone on building A has no actual local access to building B

#

and stuff that needs it (handles anything secure, or has port forwarded stuff) gets dedicated IPs too

Sooo top fans exhaust, rear fan switch to intake?

buoyant bridge
#

all fans intake side panel off (joke)

woven wigeon
buoyant bridge
#

works on my system

woven wigeon
#

better thing is to exaust out of the psu

#

works on my grandparents system 💀

buoyant bridge

instructions unclear fans at the bottom of the case are now intake

and the cooler is stock intel smth smth

woven wigeon
#

yeah but psu is at the top of pc

tidal geyser
#

Took me way too much time to find it

tidal geyser

If the top top is blocked

buoyant bridge

Thermals are a scam

I could realistically put a 14900K in without issue

tidal geyser

First you gotta find a working one

buoyant bridge
#

did that many break??

night delta

Then i flipped the top front as intake

tidal geyser
#

Turbulence

buoyant bridge
#

my fans are fast enough

sleek ibex
wheat torrent
#

My case has only 3 fans in the front

buoyant bridge
#

it works shockingly well since I dont have a side panel and theres fans blowing cold air directly into the GPU fans

wheat torrent
#

Lmfaooaoaoo

cold skiff
wheat torrent
#

If you have no case you would be surprised how little case fans you need

#

None

buoyant bridge
#

you should try more fans

#

make the case out of fans and 90 degree brackets

wheat torrent
#

No panel will of course affect the results a lot...

sleek ibex
#

I have two big ass 180s up front and three 140s at bottom

cold skiff
buoyant bridge
#

I turn my AC off and my house has fine airflow because it has transfer ducts

wheat torrent
#

I have no case fans on my computer without a case

#

Just the gpu fans and the cpu cooler

buoyant bridge
#

mount a motherboard to a pickup truck radiator

#

you might be able to passively cool the cpu like that in a house with good airflow

wheat torrent
#

I mean the cpu cooler does all the job

#

Other fans are useless

#

anyone know how to calibrate an evnia 8500 monitor

buoyant bridge
#

use a colorimeter

#

why are you even calibrating a gaming monitor

tidal geyser
sharp ocean
#

this yt review shows calibrating it is better

tidal geyser
#

Not even sure what koke question

buoyant bridge
tidal geyser
sharp ocean
buoyant bridge
#

its like $170 for a good datacolor consumer one

tidal geyser
#

Ok yes a bit high

buoyant bridge
tidal geyser
#

I was

#

No wait how much was the software

buoyant bridge
#

like $30/year

tidal geyser
#

So all together 200$

buoyant bridge
#

pmuch

sharp ocean
#

anyone know what display settings i could change to make it any better then?

tidal geyser
#

You would need a already calibrated monitor

buoyant bridge
#

google what each setting does, change it as desired

#

if you dont have a colorimeter its gonna get less accurate probably

tidal geyser
#

It's a unit to unit thing

buoyant bridge
#

hand ajusting a monitor for accuracy is like handtuning a gituar, it takes a lot of experience and knowhow

tidal geyser
#

High end monitors get calibrated like that from the factory but I swear always gets a bit more accurate if you do it again

buoyant bridge
#

probably cus of enviromental diffrences

#

your desk isn't the exact same enviorment as the area they're calibrated in a factory

#

pro monitors have a ambient light spec for their factory calibration

wheat torrent
buoyant bridge
#

I gaurentee you don't actually understand what any of that means

wheat torrent
#

You cannot eyeball calibration

#

Trust

#

You need a color-meter

buoyant bridge
#

^

wheat torrent
#

Some recommend using your oled phone...

#

But that's like the blind guiding the blind

buoyant bridge
#

tbf sony litterally did build a colorimeter into a few phones

#

its for calibrating PVMs though

wheat torrent
#

You could find specific settings online to use but

buoyant bridge
#

which is a WHOLE other world since those consider non visible ranges

wheat torrent
#

You're guessing that your monitor is the same calibration as that one used to make the settings

buoyant bridge
#

factory calibrated monitors are so expensive because they know damn well you can't and won't learn how to calibrate

#

atleast professional ones

tidal geyser
#

my old phone was calibrated for pantone but the thing people forget is that OLEDS degrade over time no matter what you do so you WILL have a less accurate phone over time

wheat torrent
#

Yep

tidal geyser
buoyant bridge
#

yeah I ment like professional ones with a usage spec so you actually maintain that accuracy

wheat torrent
#

I think everyone who calibrates by eye is bound to make it more blue than it should

tidal geyser
#

o yea i got the piece of paper

wheat torrent
#

That's like a kind of bias when eyeballing

buoyant bridge
#

damn nice, I've never seen that personally

tidal geyser
buoyant bridge
wheat torrent
#

In my country I could buy a colormeter

#

And post some ads online that I'll calibrate their monitor

#

And I'll probably be only one out of maybe 10-20 people who own a colormeter

buoyant bridge
#

I used to just rent mine out before I sold it

tidal geyser
#

that could be cool if i ever owned a tech shop, bring your monitor and pc and i would calibrate stuff

#

i love how efficent modern laptops are to the point most of em do not even have any dust in the fins or fan after many years of usage

buoyant bridge
#

you forgot about gaming laptops

tidal geyser
#

Meh even those if done right should have fan stop whenever you leave it on desktop or watching a video

sharp ocean
#

should i have windows hdr on or off

buoyant bridge
#

do you play games mostly or use desktop stuff mosty

#

windows hdr on desktop = bad

sharp ocean
#

games mostly

clear canyon
#

Wowza

clear canyon
buoyant bridge

why does windows encourage me to LOWER my resolution

tidal geyser
sharp ocean
wheat torrent
sharp ocean
buoyant bridge
#

oh also if you have dual monitors and only one supports HDR, DO NOT use hdr

#

it is the worst fucking experience windows can give you

wheat torrent
#

SDR: 250 (APL 100%) nit, HDR: 450 (APL 10%) nit, HDR E/P: 1000 (APL 3%) nit

sharp ocean

Hdr400

#

Seems useless

tidal geyser
#

It is

#

O hey that reminds me, I will be getting a monitor soon with HDR 1000

sharp ocean
wheat torrent
#

You look

#

At the manual or online

sharp ocean
#

think mines the same as yours

tidal geyser

No that's yours

happy new years

wheat torrent
#

Every game or app will need HDR adjusted individually

#

You can't use the same HDR settings everywhere

buoyant bridge
#

I just ignore the existance of hdr and I could never be happier

wheat torrent
#

HDR is just a joke

sharp ocean
wheat torrent
sharp ocean
#

or should i just not use it

buoyant bridge
stark flicker
wheat torrent
#

As I said if you want good HDR you would need to adjust it yourself everytime

#

Some games need mods for HDR to look good

#

Some games are just shit with HDR

#

Some will work fine

sharp ocean
wheat torrent
#

Definetly a big hassle

stark flicker
#

As for mods, the main one is renodx

For each game you play check if renodx is there and use it

wheat torrent
#

You have HDR400, that's basically useless

#

new here but can hdr cause monitor issues? i turned it off earlier and for some reason things seem more stable.

i have a ryzen 5 3600, 16gb of ddr4 ram, and a rtx 2060 super. i want to upgrade the cpu and ram since i think the gpu will be good for some more years.
i want to stay on am4 for now (low budget), so i thought of getting the 5800X and getting a matching ram kit to make it 32gb.

if you were to prioritize one of those 2 upgrades which should i do first

its a little switch on the gpu a lot of em say what vbios it is using but others have no markings

yup but i think a good few stores still have tons of cards left

the main issue now will be what happens when they need to restock

Panther Lake takes Intel built-in graphics to the next level with an updated Xe3 architecture, a larger GPU tile with up to 12 Xe cores, and a new version of XeSS that adds multi-frame generation. See how they combine to deliver impressively smooth gameplay in this Painkiller demo from Intel Tech Tour 2025. Gaming on Intel integrated graphics is...

"Intel reckons that the end result is 50% better performance for Xe3 over Intel Lunar Lake's Xe2 GPUs with the same power. It also, according to Intel, leads to 40% better performance per watt than Arrow Lake-H processors. Panther Lake also reintroduces E-cores, which were removed from Lunar Lake CPUs, to improve multi-threaded performance by up to 50%."

gleaming rose

21% slower than a 4050 laptop gpu

#

ehh i dont like that

tidal geyser
#

most likely yea but with MFG

gleaming rose
#

wont work on linux

tidal geyser
#

MFG works on linux

#

at least on the nvidia side

tidal geyser
#

so i would imagine with a bit of time it should too

#

but ofc intel is really new to this so anything to do with linux will be funky and it aint helping intel aint doing so well when it comes to money and thus has fired a ton of people working open source

gleaming rose

we only have xess 1.3 it seems

ok nevermind

south arrow
# random gyro Nice

Its not great, but when I go to sell my 5090 64gb build should be alot easier

tidal geyser
#

also i very much do not believe xess MFG is out yet

gleaming rose
#

so technically yes but i wouldn't count on it working as well as it would on windows

tidal geyser
#

first post on r/intelarc

gleaming rose
#

no mention of xess

tidal geyser
#

i feel like baseline windows and linux drivers could mean it might be spported

gleaming rose
#

linux native games may work but through proton it seems to not

#

i can test it rq

tidal geyser
#

meh we will see

gleaming rose
#

GET OUT OF MY HEAD

#

so very few games actually support the xess 2 feature set anyways

tidal geyser

gleaming rose
#

i'd rather just get an nvidia mobile gpu in that case

tidal geyser
#

go for it

gleaming rose
#

but at the same time my battery life 😭

for my use cases gud igpu is all i want in my life

i dont play demanding games but like i dont want to miss out when there is the odd game i decide looks neat
