[bold olive]

amd made compromises on chipsets starting am4

[ionic peak]

The brain stem should work harder

[carmine yew]

No they didn't

[frank charm]

Guys I need a quick confirmation before I make a purchase. I have a 5080 and a 7 7700. I can get a 27", 4k, 160hz MiniLED monitor from Cooler Master for £229.99 (US$309.69), good purchase?

[tidal geyser]

anyhow amd cpus tend to not gaing much over stock power

[bold olive]

maybe starting am5

[carmine yew]

No they didn't

[tidal geyser]

yeh why not

[bold olive]

yes they did

[latent pasture]

the worst thing they did so far was rename the a820 to b840 to trick customers

[winter lance]

I’ll look into it ty bro

[peak knot]

Yeah they never released z490 lol

[bold olive]

and prebuilt companies

[frank charm]

Just wanted to make sure unless like there is an obvious negative

[bold olive]

thats the compromise

[sharp lance]

gonna gatekeep the one i go to

[tidal geyser]

check reviews other than that meh

[carmine yew]

You have a lot of weird opinions

[peak knot]

We all know amd z490 was gonna be the best chipset made lol

[frank charm]

It usually goes for £400 (540usd) and im upgrading from 1080p ips so

[bold olive]

fyi my brain is only feeding 0.1 milliwatts

of brain power

[tidal geyser]

1080p on a 5080 is something

[neon ocean]

Say.. isn't $80 for a wi-fi 7 low profile, amd compatible card a bit expensive?

[carmine yew]

Going with the high estimate, eh?

[bold olive]

as a 1440p 5060 ti user: 😳

[sinful cobalt]

No

[tidal geyser]

anyhow does not look like his board has PBO

[latent pasture]

27 inch 4k is kinda compressed

[tidal geyser]

but yea as said before aint gonna do much

[carmine yew]

Spending more than 40 on a wifi card is wild

[tidal geyser]

i have that at 14"

[bold olive]

✅

[frank charm]

Entire new pc build and didnt upgrade the monitors yet lol, went from a i7 3770 to all the new stuff lol

[bold olive]

someone send me a b850m

[winter lance]

Does a ryzen 5 5600xt exist?

[tidal geyser]

yes

[carmine yew]

Yes

[winter lance]

Chat gpt is telling me it doesn’t

[bold olive]

yes

[winter lance]

I’m so confused

[carmine yew]

It's a slightly different 5600x

[winter lance]

I’m literally arguing with it

[tidal geyser]

chat gpt told me the 10850k did not excist

[winter lance]

I’m forcing it to acknowledge it

[neon ocean]

I can't find anything else really.. except for the no name companies where they just ship you the barebones and no heatsinks

[bold olive]

what

[carmine yew]

Who cares? Gpt is dumb

[bold olive]

it does

[glossy veldt]

shit

[carmine yew]

It's a wifi card it doesn't need a heatsink

[tidal geyser]

96 is fine

but that delta is bigger than it should be

[bold olive]

does wifi 7 dongles on usb 3 exist? might save quite a lot

[azure topaz]

realest

[tidal geyser]

son get yourself some PTM 7950

[azure topaz]

usb 3 isnt fast enough for it to matter

[winter lance]

nice and warm in ur room

[carmine yew]

Look for: intel wifi 6e pcie. Or wifi 7

[azure topaz]

wifi 6 beats usb 3 speads already

[bold olive]

lttstore.com

[tidal geyser]

but are ye gonna notice em

[carmine yew]

Do not buy shitty dongles

[azure topaz]

yes

sim i have two and a half gigabit

[tidal geyser]

most people do not even have close to 1gig internet

[azure topaz]

i prefired you

[tidal geyser]

aint usb 3 5Gb?

[bold olive]

using wifi 5 on a pc that has 2.5 gig lan

[azure topaz]

i thought it was like 600MB/s

[tidal geyser]

wut

[glossy veldt]

i have a serious airflow issue

[tidal geyser]

wait what

[glossy veldt]

i just moved my desktop a bit forward

[carmine yew]

Usb 3 is 5 / 10 / 20 gbit

[glossy veldt]

temps are now down to 90

[azure topaz]

i realise im wrong now

[tidal geyser]

OMG

[bold olive]

3.2 gen something has 10 gig

[azure topaz]

lol

[bold olive]

what what what what

[tidal geyser]

hahahahah

[winter lance]

Is ur case like not good with airflow

[glossy veldt]

detrimental

[tidal geyser]

i hate usb

[winter lance]

Yikes

[azure topaz]

lol my bad im tweakin

[tidal geyser]

3.2 gen 2 by 2 and 2 then more 2

[bold olive]

22222

[glossy veldt]

stil, the a2000 is a blower card so it would benefit more from having rear breathing space, which i didn't have

[bold olive]

what in the

[winter lance]

40gbps is crazy

[tidal geyser]

aint usb just great

[tidal geyser]

seen thunderbolt 5?

[carmine yew]

Usb 3 gen 1x1 = 5gb
Usb 3 gen 1x2 = 10gb
Usb 3 gen 2x1 = 10gb
Usb 3 gen 2x2 = 20gb

[winter lance]

Enlighten me

[azure topaz]

pcie thru type c, think 4 lanes

[bold olive]

i never even touched thunderbolt

[tidal geyser]

jebus das a lot of optional on usb 4

[carmine yew]

Yup 4 lanes

[azure topaz]

its fire

[tidal geyser]

boost is only for data out

[azure topaz]

for laptops its almost cool but

[tidal geyser]

aka monitors

[glossy veldt]

this here aluminum shite is the a2000's stock heatsink

[bold olive]

why am i glad that a usb/thunderbolt converstation started cuz i said about a wifi 7 usb dongle

[tidal geyser]

i so badly want a pantherlake laptop with thunderbolt 5 and then slap down a egpu

[azure topaz]

80gbps is beginning to be almost enough for gpus

like big ones

[bold olive]

strap a 80 mil noctua fan?

[azure topaz]

next gen at 160gbps i think we'll be quite well off with egpus

[winter lance]

Bro wtf

[carmine yew]

In a server that's perfect

[azure topaz]

isnt it also vapor chamber tho

[tidal geyser]

tbf even thunderbolt 3 is usable

[winter lance]

Yea I remember when egpus came out everyone complained abt latency

[azure topaz]

usable yes but uhhh

[neon ocean]

From a quick search, it seems the Intel BE200 is notorious for causing some issues with AMD parts

[azure topaz]

slow

[tidal geyser]

keep in mind it really does matter what you do with it too

[winter lance]

Is thunderbolt intel only still?

[azure topaz]

ax211

[bold olive]

rings a bell

[azure topaz]

or an ax210

[tidal geyser]

pretty sure it aint

[bold olive]

might be the card thats on my old laptop

[azure topaz]

wifi 6(e) cards

[carmine yew]

So use a different chipset there are plenty

[bold olive]

i remember its wifi 6 at best

[winter lance]

Damn I’m really behind on tech stuff

[azure topaz]

which is plenty wont lie

[carmine yew]

Why are you trying to make this difficult

[civic ferry]

Core i7 something

[bold olive]

the fact that im running on wifi 5

[civic ferry]

Oh maybe probably idk

[bold olive]

mesh

[neon ocean]

.. I'm not but have a great night?

[azure topaz]

yeah so like 300mbit right

[tidal geyser]

5th gen?

[civic ferry]

9th

[carmine yew]

Give me 40 seconds

[glossy veldt]

solid aluminum

[tidal geyser]

o well pretty sure channel 1 and 2 are in slot 1 and 2

[civic ferry]

Oki yeah

[glossy veldt]

i guess

[tidal geyser]

good ol AC

[azure topaz]

blazing fast

[tidal geyser]

i hate AC so much

[glossy veldt]

even when the temps are down to 86°c

[carmine yew]

https://a.co/d/d1H6mA6

[glossy veldt]

core won't go beyond 900 mhz

[neon ocean]

Ah! The QCNCM865 chip itself tends to run about $40-50 and is the go-to for AMD. No wonder why it was expensive.

[neon ocean]

That's.. 6e. 😓

[carmine yew]

You need 7?

[bold olive]

'blazing fast'

to be fair its decent

[neon ocean]

Yup, I have a 7 compatible network which I'd like to use since ethernet isn't quite possible

[tidal geyser]

i love how 6e can somehow be way better

[tidal geyser]

you sure you even got 6ghz

[glossy veldt]

it is pretty hot outside, might be the reason why

[azure topaz]

i fear my wifi mogs u

[glossy veldt]

rn its 26°c or about 79 eagles

[bold olive]

what is that supposed to mean 😭

[civic ferry]

Also Linux huion driver on the kamvas 16 2021 doesn't detect any displays so it's impossible to use

[bold olive]

27 celcius, so about 80 eagles

[neon ocean]

Confirmed with my phone

[tidal geyser]

i remember when someone switched their hwinfo to f and they got railed on in here

[bold olive]

i fear your timezone

[azure topaz]

be scared

[bold olive]

are you legit using wifi 6e 😭

[bold olive]

freddy's coming to ur desk

[carmine yew]

Weird UK timezone

[azure topaz]

all the ap is compatible with, doesnt support my wifi 7

[tidal geyser]

kirashi aint it a bit late for you

[azure topaz]

bing bong

ethernet

[formal sonnet]

Pffff... it's not even 0200 here and I don't work tomorrow.

[bold olive]

2.5 gig ethernet user detected

[glossy veldt]

dear god

[bold olive]

assasinating-

[glossy veldt]

memory temp is scaring me though

[neon ocean]

https://www.amazon.com/QCNCM865-Tri-Band-5800Mbps-Motherboard-Compatibility/dp/B0DSB8NCNW

[tidal geyser]

02 was 2hrs ago for me so im way past it now

[bold olive]

you-

[glossy veldt]

like, 104°c on gddr6???

i desperately need some ptm 7950

[tidal geyser]

its fineeee

[neon ocean]

Haha! Never heard of them before though, I just need to investigate the difference between bluetooth 5.3 and 5.4

[tidal geyser]

das only for the core

[bold olive]

WHAT

[tidal geyser]

wait was throttling at 115c or 105c on gddr6

[azure topaz]

what does th is have to do with the memory

[glossy veldt]

i thought the thermal pads were for the memory

[bold olive]

some x870e ahh motherboards wtf

wait no

[azure topaz]

ptm isnt a thermal pad in that sense

[tidal geyser]

xd

[bold olive]

its an intel card

[azure topaz]

its meant to replace thermal paste applications not thermal pads

[glossy veldt]

ah i see

[bold olive]

so its z890

[azure topaz]

get some quality pads or putty, measure how thick you need

[glossy veldt]

sources say 1.5mm

aka a stupid reddit post

[azure topaz]

yeah ptm 7950 is more like .1 mm

[tidal geyser]

here is a fun one for you, intel network cards can be used on amd things

PTM is for the core

[azure topaz]

yeah

it liquifies when warm

[tidal geyser]

putty for the vram

[bold olive]

hmm

[tidal geyser]

or pads if you like a presentable gpu

[bold olive]

why im i in a realtek wifi card then-

manufacturers i guess

[glossy veldt]

expensive, expensive

[tidal geyser]

cheap

[glossy veldt]

honeywell is the only ptm 7950 i could find}

[azure topaz]

100g is a lot of applications

[tidal geyser]

tbf you can repad tons of gpus with that

[azure topaz]

honeywell is the real maker

100G is a lot of putty and its worth it

just use it on your personal cards

[glossy veldt]

for some reason

[tidal geyser]

any PTM 7950 not made by honywell is fake

[glossy veldt]

30g and 100g are the same price...

[azure topaz]

lol

[glossy veldt]

and the thermal pads are way too expensive to be just four

[tidal geyser]

but PTM itself well PCM can be made by many others and they have and i even use it like thermalright helios and its plenty fine

[bold olive]

gigabyte is cheap

[tidal geyser]

also you cant even PBO on your board so cheap is it

[glossy veldt]

fan at 100% shows temps about 80° core, 84° hotspot and 92° on vram with +500 mhz on msi afterburner

[azure topaz]

thats fine whats core at

clocks

and power?

[glossy veldt]

thats the issue

[tidal geyser]

o yea floppa your gonna love this its a a2000

[glossy veldt]

core won't go beyond 900 mhz

[azure topaz]

is the card shunted

or power modded in any way

[tidal geyser]

was about to ask

[glossy veldt]

i will not shunt a card

[tidal geyser]

buuu

[glossy veldt]

it's running at 70w so 100% tdp

[tidal geyser]

shunt it shunt it shunt it

[glossy veldt]

knowing my soldering skills i will destroy this beautiful card

[azure topaz]

why even mod the cooler if youre not gonna power mod it first off
second off
furmark is a terrible load application

[glossy veldt]

i'd better have it done the shunt

[azure topaz]

use heaven or superpositoin

furmark is a power virus

[tidal geyser]

im gonna use it for all the laptops i repair

[glossy veldt]

i guess it is old, hadn't heard of heaven and superpositoin

[azure topaz]

heaven is from 2009

[glossy veldt]

lemme go download em rq

[azure topaz]

superposition is modern ish

both are generally ok

you have a slow cpu dont you? probably want to use heaven

[tidal geyser]

why not 3d mark

[azure topaz]

not free to loop in windowed mode

[tidal geyser]

ah

[azure topaz]

way more annoying to mess with a card

[glossy veldt]

also, got stuck on the detecting hardware step

probably my cheap bluetooth dongle

[azure topaz]

furmark only lets my card hit 2.8ghz

my card will go to 3.25 in real cases

[tidal geyser]

hey i was reading that

[fair ether]

My bad if this is not the right channel

[tidal geyser]

ye post it in https://discord.com/channels/375436620578684930/1027757333117415424

no wait buying stuff best inhttps://discord.com/channels/375436620578684930/1106613567966429224

we really should get a 3rd channel

[fair ether]

I just posted in tech support

Should I delete from there?

[jolly moth]

so annoyed I missed out on this

[tidal geyser]

what is that combo

[jolly moth]

wheres the unbalance?

[swift stream]

heres my pc running rivals at 1440p (trust the temp went down after recording)

[tidal geyser]

yes

[winter lance]

Mid range gpu with high end cpu?

[tidal geyser]

das not midrange gpu

the xx60 are the budget cards

[winter lance]

Man amd naming is confusing

[jolly moth]

welp amd's naming conventions are too confusing for me to comprehend then

[tidal geyser]

xx50 is super budget

[winter lance]

Oh I see I’m freezing in bed rn

[swift stream]

more budget than the 1660?

[tidal geyser]

xx60 is budget
xx70 is midrange
xx80 is high end/ upper midrange/low high end
xx90 is high end

[tidal geyser]

das not a amd gpu

[winter lance]

I see

[jolly moth]

what are the xx

[swift stream]

generation number

[tidal geyser]

a shit they fucked with that ye

aka 6800, 6700, 6600, 6500 and such

[left trellis]

SIX SEVENNNNNNNNNNNNNN

[tidal geyser]

or even older 590, 580, 570, 560, 550

[swift stream]

i have a 6750 xt

[left trellis]

Chat we may have the 13900k 7900xt build for 1k

[left trellis]

alr bro stop with the six seven jokes theyre not funny

[tidal geyser]

and the last number on those are for smaller bosts in performance

[tidal geyser]

just lock the voltage

[swift stream]

that is actually my gpu tho

[left trellis]

stop trolling man

its not funny.

[left trellis]

been done :D

[tidal geyser]

nice

[swift stream]

it still considered decent by todays standards unless you count all the ai upscaling bull

[left trellis]

look who learned photoshop

[tidal geyser]

still way better than what most people have

[swift stream]

i actually have photoshop and media encoder

[left trellis]

yeah and you used it to edit the name

[swift stream]

wait what is the XT added for again

[left trellis]

its like nvidias ti

but the 50 at the end is also kinda like nvidias ti

6650xt is a bit better than the 6600

6750xt is a bit better than the 6700xt

[tidal geyser]

more performance

but here it was also more vram

the 6700 non xt only has 10

[left trellis]

"the gamer" is yapping up a storm 😭

[latent pasture]

just think of it as a full new name instead of an addition

[tidal geyser]

just die on the inside

i hate names

[swift stream]

crazy how my gpu still cost around the same as the 9060 xt

[tidal geyser]

kinda just have to memorize all dis shit

[thin bloom]

Does this look better? I think they aren't a little off. This is a joke and I'm continuing the joke that laub said

[tidal geyser]

you should not be allowed to own a pc

[azure topaz]

this cannot be real

[swift stream]

i never understood the hype for rgb on gpus

[left trellis]

its basically a 9060xt

[thin bloom]

[narrow eagle]

i hope zeus struck your pc

[left trellis]

with worse RT and features

[swift stream]

just without fsr 4

[thin bloom]

Why?

[tidal geyser]

he broke his z170 and got the socket replaced for 100$

[narrow eagle]

that thing is absolute madness bro holy

[swift stream]

it still has fsr 3.1 tho?....ehh

[azure topaz]

lmfaoooooooooooo

coulda got an am4 cpu and board

[thin bloom]

2 of the fans go to the cooler then the other 2 go to the top of case

[azure topaz]

keep rocking that 7700k homie

[left trellis]

Idk what Im gonna do with this 7900xt lowkkkkk

[azure topaz]

is it delidded?

[thin bloom]

Why is it. The fans are like that since I have the board out

[tidal geyser]

what is the thing on top

[clear canyon]

Its the aorus wifi 6e box, duh

[tidal geyser]

made of metal?

[clear canyon]

https://tenor.com/view/autocorrect-auto-correct-skeletor-gif-1101976333338083844

[swift stream]

never would i think apple's prices would be justfied

[tidal geyser]

apple has not been too bad

been wanting myself a m1

[thin bloom]

It's the rubber piece that keeps the board from warping under the 24 pin connector. It was causing problems from it warping

[swift stream]

you should just go m4, latest and has a huge performance upgrade

[tidal geyser]

WTF

[clear canyon]

When they get to the 10th generation Chips, we gonns get Mx instead of M10

[true drift]

my secondary computer is an M2 macbook air, and its one of the most usable laptops i have used in my life, everything just works, and the OS doesnt get in the way

[tidal geyser]

m1 cheap as shit and why tf would one need more performance

can do 4k and chill

[swift stream]

apple recently tried steam integration and m4 chip was able to run cyberpunk 2077 at 60 fps at high settings

[bold olive]

dont even get started about explaining super and ti, or xt and xtx

[bold olive]

drivers

[tidal geyser]

only one gpu has xtx

[swift stream]

7900

[tidal geyser]

i love just calling my gpu XTX

someone got warshipped

[thin bloom]

You can see a corner of it in the image. Pc been running like that for I think 2 months

[swift stream]

i need help looking for a microphone, but im on a budget of 70 USD, adn i already have a blue yeti but the port is fucked so looking for other options

[tidal geyser]

why tf did you not just buy another motherboard or upgrade to am4 or smn

[tidal geyser]

another blue yeti :3

[swift stream]

too expensive 😔

[thin bloom]

I'm broke. I been spending my money and saving to buy parts for my truck

https://tenor.com/view/broke-no-cash-gif-25565154

[golden elk]

does anyone know if windhawk takes alot of pc resources?

[tidal geyser]

windhawk?

[golden elk]

yeah, the app that allows to customize windows

[swift stream]

my 24 pin has been lopsided

[formal sonnet]

You could ask the developers. They have a few community's specific to their application. https://windhawk.net/links

[tidal geyser]

it just looks like powertoys but not

[swift stream]

you mean another port?

[bold olive]

was the idea of apple to make memory look cheap

[tidal geyser]

solder on a new one i dono

[swift stream]

was thinking about getting a logitech orb but im looking for 3.5mm support

[tidal geyser]

3.5 you aint gonna find on anything other than super cheap stuff

or super duper high end i think

[swift stream]

or just get usb-c to 3.5 adapter

[tidal geyser]

that does not feel like it would work

[thin bloom]

Mine warped so bad it killed power to the board, then it eventually stopped but it started killing 12v to the gpu and the board couldn't go above 30°C

[tidal geyser]

wow

[glossy veldt]

how

[tidal geyser]

torture

[glossy veldt]

i hate you

what alternative to furmark is there

[thin bloom]

It was so bad the 2 plastic clips that hold the connector down got pushed out it's hole

[tidal geyser]

jebus

[thin bloom]

The board came from another pc and idk how good the air flow was

[tidal geyser]

it does not do that

bannana board dududdudud bannana board dududu dut

[bold olive]

shit i might have to check the strain on my 24 pin

[swift stream]

there is also this

[thin bloom]

How old is your board? Mine is 11 years old

[bold olive]

used for a year

(2 months)

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/razor-mike-broke-gif-24959689

[swift stream]

mine is more modern but i meant the cable, not the brick

[swift stream]

wait is ts real

[tidal geyser]

yes

i hate razer so much

[thin bloom]

Huh? You talking about the wire on the board you see in the image and what you mean "not the brick"

[thin bloom]

I forgot to mention this was taken 19th of nov

[grizzled frost]

super high end stuff rarely uses 3.5mm

[mint umbra]

what are the real world benefits of using linux over windows been thinking about it for a while now

[grizzled frost]

source: i do volunteer work in the theater industry primarily lights and sound

[grizzled frost]

lower idle power draw, more customizability, easier to do some things

[grizzled frost]

it’s all 1/4in or xlr

[tidal geyser]

its so you or another person can listen to de mic

[grizzled frost]

or once you get to a point, it’s ethernet

[tidal geyser]

but yea XLR rules it mostly

[tidal geyser]

just do it and see for yourself

[grizzled frost]

there’s also speakon, but usually that’s what speakers use, not audio interfaces

[thin bloom]

I be installing Linux when my pc is back up and running. I got a usb stick for Christmas so I can download Linux and I can install it on my my pc

[mint umbra]

would be a pain in the but changing os unless there is noticable differences

[grizzled frost]

every sound board i’ve seen and worked with primarily uses XLR

[mint umbra]

most of my time on pc is mostly gaming

[grizzled frost]

correction, they usually have one single 3.5mm jack for PAFL

[tidal geyser]

get another ssd does not have to be massive and try it

for me i went ubuntu then mint then ended up on cachyos and i am still there

[grizzled frost]

a simple 256gb ssd would suffice

i use windows for all my desktops, and linux for my servers

[tidal geyser]

only thing windows offers cachyos cannot for me is vr but not something i need

[grizzled frost]

usually ubuntu or truenas, depending on what the server is for

[tidal geyser]

i just truenas it all

[grizzled frost]

truenas for my storage machine, ubuntu server for my compute machines

[thin bloom]

You can keep os installed and add a slot on your storage device to install Linux. That's what I'm going to do. I have everything ready to install Linux

[mint umbra]

I already have my m.2 slots used

[tidal geyser]

the main issue there is windows loves to nuke the bootloader

[thin bloom]

Besides Linux not on the usb stick and a none working pc

[tidal geyser]

pcie slot to m.2

[mint umbra]

and sdds are expensive rn

[grizzled frost]

you can get a small drive for under 50usd

[mint umbra]

I have 2 ssds and a HDD

[tidal geyser]

not really

[mint umbra]

dunno if I need more drives

[grizzled frost]

okay?

[tidal geyser]

so one more left

[grizzled frost]

you need a storage device you’re okay with wiping to install the OS

so either pick one you already have, or buy a new one, or don’t try linux

[tidal geyser]

eh for testing tbh dual booting on the same ssd should be fine

[mint umbra]

dont you have to uplug the windows ssd to get it to work

[grizzled frost]

You’d still need to wipe the drive to repartition, no?

[mint umbra]

for the install

[swift stream]

i meant my psu cables

[grizzled frost]

you can pick a preferred boot device in bios

[tidal geyser]

nop

[grizzled frost]

pick the usb drive to install linux, then pick the drive you want it to go to

[tidal geyser]

only reduce the partition on windows then on linux format the empty space

[mint umbra]

most videos I watched said to unplug windows drive

when using seperate drives

[tidal geyser]

for cachyos https://wiki.cachyos.org/installation/installation_on_root/

do manual

and follow

[mint umbra]

cachyos to complicated

[grizzled frost]

it’s mostly just a protection so you don’t pick the wrong drive/partition

[mint umbra]

would prob use mint or fedora

[tidal geyser]

sad

[mint umbra]

well Idk which one is which

[grizzled frost]

live laugh love ubuntu

[tidal geyser]

but yea no cachyos is a wee bit too advanced to start out with

[mint umbra]

they are both same brand

[tidal geyser]

huh

[mint umbra]

and same model

[tidal geyser]

the one windows aint on

[mint umbra]

how would I tell difference in the bios

[grizzled frost]

which are the two subjects being referenced by “both”

[mint umbra]

both ssds

[tidal geyser]

no wait wut

[tidal geyser]

since it will say ubuntu?

[mint umbra]

like when I chose which drive for the os how would I tell the difference

[tidal geyser]

like litteraly it will say ubuntu as the bootable device

[grizzled frost]

i believe they mean when picking a drive/partition during the install process

[tidal geyser]

and when you want windows again chose well windows

[mint umbra]

no I mean when I go to install

how do I know its not the windows drive

[tidal geyser]

its 5:23 i aint doing dis shit

good luck iroh

[grizzled frost]

then unplug the windows drive

problem solved!

@azure topaz i can get 1400mhz on the core and 7000 ok the memory in superposition, ty

im not seeing any temps go above 90 and im on my second run, memory's even at 1000 mhz oc

@tidal geyser do you say i put ptm on it?

90s are a bit toasty for my liking if I'm being honest

[grizzled frost]

90 on the gpu die?

[glossy veldt]

hotspot

[rose sorrel]

3d printer people here ?

[glossy veldt]

i think I've found the problem though

its struggling to breathe because it's clogged with dust

too hot for me to handle right now though, will clean with a brush tomorrow

[thorny saddle]

my dude unclogs toilets for a living

[grizzled frost]

whole new meaning to “shit faced”

[glossy veldt]

me cleaning my a2k

[thorny saddle]

Its a special weird with the old man w/ bowl cut

[rose sorrel]

Any 3d printer people in here ?

[grizzled frost]

don’t ask to ask, just ask

[glossy veldt]

i used an anet a8 four years ago

[swift stream]

should i really go back to genshin impact, ofc i shouldn't

[glossy veldt]

i practically know everything there is to 3d printing

[glossy veldt]

"should i go back to coke?"

ahh question

[rose sorrel]

Creality printers junk or decent

That or a1

[glossy veldt]

you see my boy you haven't said a thing

[rose sorrel]

?

[glossy veldt]

what will you be printing? preferred bed size? is speed important?

[rose sorrel]

https://makerworld.com/en/models/2182981-losi-nascar-motor-mason-jar-break-in-fixture

[glossy veldt]

theres also price

one google search tells me everything

https://www.reddit.com/r/Creality/comments/1p6pyo5/which_would_you_choose_bambu_a1_combo_or_creality/

[rose sorrel]

I have heard there printers are junk tho

[glossy veldt]

then go for the A1 and play it safe

it's not like you're buying critical infrastructure

[rose sorrel]

I also know the A1’s got a colt following

And support is the for it too

community support

[swift stream]

is this a ok fan curve?

(7600x btw)

[thorny saddle]

fan curves don't look

they sound and they cool

[swift stream]

helps cancel out the coil whine ✊

[thorny saddle]

70C and 80% PWM is kind of wild

[azure topaz]

agreed

[rose sorrel]

any good go pro knock offs for under $50 ?

[swift stream]

noise mania

then again my build has a lot of coil whine

[latent pasture]

ngl at some point if u want a camera so cheap u should just use ur phone that already exists
is this a hot take

[tribal estuary]

Screw rusty and Savana that sold their game to pixel perfect video games

[hoary agate]

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DSJZFQLW?tag
60 dollars for a case with 3x 140 intake and dual 360 rad
thats cool

[latent pasture]

eh thats the norm now
in fact thats a bit expensive

many case manufacturers embraced the thermalright cheap spam strat
$60 cases with free 3x 140mm pwm fans ts
to the point where even overpriced normie brands like lian li corsair and nzxt made their own cases for $40-60 just to compete

[steel umbra]

i mean it is indeed just a case

[tribal estuary]

I love the antec flux

[steel umbra]

you can have a case made out of cardboard and it won’t like kill you

[hoary agate]

i did that once

[latent pasture]

really shows how much they were ripping ppl off until a couple of the bigger guys went eh wed like less money

[tribal estuary]

Like this?

[steel umbra]

sure, if it’s structurally enough

i’d recommend buying some filters though if you don’t have your home filtered

dust

[steel umbra]

though to their credit western brands did like to put in more or slightly better quality sheets of metal that weren’t so wonky when you pushed at certain spots of the cases

[lapis talon]

Have a lil question regarding the motherboard again, is it worth upgrading from my crappy Pro B650m-p mATX to a Asrock Pro RS B650/X870? What are the benefits?

I can't see any other than WiFi + BT support and wayyyy more usb ports

[latent pasture]

thats it rly
vrms arent as much an issue for amd since the cpus scale poorly with high power anyway

also if u just want wifi and bt just get a wifi card

[steel umbra]

better vrms, maybe better audio

i did consider to buy an asus pro b650m because it was like 50 bucks?

not bad looking vrms, would probably hold until like ryzen 9

also maybe more expansions or m.2 slots

you don’t need a better mb to have more usb ports, hubs exist or additional expansions if you have space

similar with wifi and bt

they only become worthy feature if you need them

[latent pasture]

has wireless gotten seamless enough for wireless usb hubs to be a thing

[bold olive]

imagine if someone wanted to build a pc for their 2026 resolution

they have deep pockets

[flat cliff]

I don't subscribe to AI to replace human work so all my roleplay character are drawn by real humans, that said I don't have $200 to pay someone to model for me nor do I have what at least GPT said would be up to 60 hours to learn to do so my self.

So likely means will not exist. But if I did take an AI and got a model and then did clean up work, how much less work is that compared to starting from scratch?

[latent pasture]

i mean doesnt that entirely depend on how much ur changing from the original ai output

[flat cliff]

True so I'd have to show results I guess, idk I can't find an AI output that looks not AI. And I'm not talking like which one was made from AI looks like AI I'm talking I showed to my parents and they can tell without asking...

So I guess it is still a lot of work but I do want me some models to paint but I don't have that much time to learn how to make them nor that much money per model I mean won't it cost like $200 to go from here is image to completed model?

[junior merlin]

Eh... only RAM was really bad... SSDs are getting there but not unobtanium. Prebuilt prices haven't changed much yet, so it's only upgrades really getting affected.

[latent pasture]

I can't find an AI output that looks not AI
thats where you come in

[junior merlin]

I suspect 2026 is the year of hell.

[slow sable]

Why?

Definitely hell for me

Broke a lidar shooting a product video

[flat cliff]

I mean I'll clean up the work I'm just wondering roughly how much less time that will be from scratch so I can tell if I even have a chance at making this. I don't have 60 hours to learn myself or $200 to pay someone.

But I still want to 3D print models of my character.

Much easier to pay someone like 60 and 2-3 days later you get a drawing plus some revisions.

[latent pasture]

well we wont know unless u try
maybe try doing it for a less urgent/important product to see where ur skill lvl is so u can have an objective data point to base comparison off of

[flat cliff]

Non of my projects are urgent its all I want them because...because I do.

That said if it still is say 35 hours out of the 60ish GPT told me it would likely be I still don't have that kinda time to sink on this but if its 15 maybe I do?

[shell vortex]

What about something like this https://youtu.be/kn-o4WqIhAg

Do these kinda things still exist

[stray portal]

Its still doable

Tbh you can enjoy almost any game even on integrated graphics nowadays

[bold olive]

yea

when someone asks whats ur gpu, just respond intel uhd graphics 😭

[sinful cobalt]

[bold olive]

why did prebuild company send me a 750 watt for a 5060 ti

[peak shoal]

whats the difference between the msi 5080 ventus and shadow

[fallen sky]

“Gaming pc” 🫩🥀

[bold olive]

weight and design

[fallen sky]

Ts is just an office computer vro

[peak shoal]

so no difference?

[bold olive]

theres an evga gpu

ofc its a gaming pc

and its running on dual channel

[peak shoal]

the ventus is 1249 and the shadow is 1179

which one should i get then?

[fallen sky]

every gaming pc HAS to have a celeron an pentium compatible motherboard

[untold crow]

Because it’s a company

[bold olive]

this is the ventus

this is the shadow

apparently for the sake of marketing shadow is gaming optimised

but they're both literally the same

difference is the material of backplate

[peak shoal]

which one would you recommend then?

[bold olive]

ventus is 'metal backplate', shadow is 'reinforcing backplate'

[bold olive]

cheaper one wins

[peak shoal]

ok

[azure topaz]

dogshit

[azure topaz]

bomb psu too

[bold olive]

you did not list the cpu

im assuming its something 3rd or 4th gen

[fallen sky]

(its 4th)

[bold olive]

but i think its newer than that

[azure topaz]

h97 yeah

[bold olive]

4th already has usb c???

[azure topaz]

its not

[fallen sky]

2014 mobo

[azure topaz]

yes

[azure topaz]

thats usb 3.0

[bold olive]

with a type c connector

[azure topaz]

adaptor

[swift moss]

We starting to see decent prices on full frame Nikons now yay

[azure topaz]

its h97

[junior merlin]

I miss SLI man...

[sinful cobalt]

5090 or nothing

[cosmic idol]

You can get brand new power banks and speakers that don’t use usb c yet h97 had it lmao

[junior merlin]

Tooling costs

USB C is an expensive connector

[stable beacon]

not enough rgb 💀

i actually want to do a similar thing because i technically have enough extra parts for another ivy bridge build

i was planning on reclaiming my nh-d15 cooler and substituting another 20xx cooler for my backup build

then using the one i have in my current system to slap onto my z77 mb

i realized now i probably threw out the old case unless i still have it

then i have a shitty 60gb ssd i can sacrifice which i still use as a boot drive

[bold olive]

you can get mine

jk

[stable beacon]

i can technically mod in nvme support on my x79 bios but it's hard

i already bought a 250gb ssd because i didn't know

no real point in using it for storage anyway because i bought another 1tb ssd for my photo storage

i found a thread that was still somehow alive in 2025 that had modded bios but i might've needed to mod it even further myself to bypass the verification key

[silver heron]

anyway
is it worth waiting for Tandem

or just go ahead with 27GX704A

[rigid fjord]

if he was to suggest better, he'd should have suggested eith the a1 from bambu labs or a flashforge ad5x

[rigid fjord]

with a psu that's basically tier E/F

[mint umbra]

the last like 5 years been hell enough

[stray portal]

[wise pelican]

is this compatible with lian-li edge series psu? https://www.amazon.com/LINKUP-12VHPWR-PSU-GPU-Compatible-NIVIDA/dp/B0CG29YB4H/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8

I need a right angle connector for my case.

[charred hare]

https://www.dexerto.com/youtube/over-20-of-youtube-is-now-ai-slop-and-theyre-making-millions-report-3298592/

[latent pasture]

it should be since this connects to psu's native 12vhpwr (for those that have it)

this looks structurally hmmge but hey im not an engineer

[kindred halo]

Yeah idk why, but the part where the connectors are placed looks just.. Too thin??

[calm plaza]

Hello 2026
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/RgebTL1oXMI

[low pendant]

So I was doing some ml to my PC , pushing the GPU to it's max and I noticed some coil whine from my PSU , should I be worried?

[thin bloom]

Is the noise happening under load or idle and what psu you have?

[low pendant]

Under load , gigabyte g750h

[thin bloom]

This is what Google says but Google could be wrong

[wise pelican]

usually psu coil whine is normal under load. what are your specs?

[next adder]

DOES anyone know why the Converse webiste says Access denied

[wise pelican]

only thing i'd worry about is if you hear some really unnatural sounds, like popping or cracking

[low pendant]

ryzrn 5 9600x and amd rx 9070 xt

[latent pasture]

pgh is years older than pgm so its wrong on that but coil whine isnt necessarily a sign of a problem

[bold olive]

silverstone attis 750r

[low pendant]

so i dont have a problem with the psu?

[thin bloom]

No you don't. Unless your psu starts to sound like my pc's old psu

[true stirrup]

Time for a fan replacement

[thin bloom]

The fan is not the only problem. One of the internal components starting to fail. It struggles to boot with only board, cpu, ram and nothing else

It couldn't handle heavy loads no more

[lapis talon]

Only one pcie slot on my current mobo

I was thinking of getting a new mobo just to be able to use my 2060S as my secondary GPU for losslessScaling or the CUDA cores

But idk if that's possible

Only have a 850W Gold rated PSU right now

Not sure if it can handle a Nitro+ 9070xt + a 2060S safely

[true stirrup]

The second GPU will be doing like no work so yes it will be enough

[ivory olive]

This is worth a 40 bucks gamble right?

Doesn't look too bad

[woven wigeon]

nforce is the only force for me i got a core 2 quad in my new hot rod before i die im trying sli green neons are lit lets do this shet!

[pure trellis]

I think,there are 2 more problematic zones

[woven wigeon]

Rate the song

[thin bloom]

What socket is that?

[ivory olive]

LGA1700 z790

Z790 aorus elite x to be exact

[thin bloom]

Try and look up a schematic of what pin is bent on that socket and see if it's worth bending it back. A board can survive from a few broken

[vapid onyx]

😆 a friend said he will wait for ram prices to calm down till he gets the ram ( he has everything bought but not that) he's gonna wait a looong time

[woven wigeon]

I tried lookign it up dint find anyhting

Id just try it if i have a spare cpu

Worst case that it fries the cpu

[true stirrup]

I'm more worried about the left side

[thin bloom]

The ram I want went from around 600 to 879.99 usd

[ivory olive]

That's thermal paste, no big deal

This pin I counted.

[true stirrup]

I would grab it for those 40 bucks then
That one pin looks very fixable

But that's a personal opinion not financial advice

[ivory olive]

Oh VSS is ground

[thin bloom]

I didn't mean to ping you earlier. I was trying to ping Mazda but they deleted there post and I didn't realize I replied to your post

[woven wigeon]

I get

[ivory olive]

I think I'll go for it. Looks like ground and is fixable. Probably don't even need to fix. My Z490 board looks way worse than that lol

[woven wigeon]

Like I said if you have a spare cpu you dont care abt then just put it in worst chanse it fries the cpu

[edgy holly]

@tidal geyser the laptop arrived and it's even better than I expected

Looks good as fuck too

[thin bloom]

Is this worth buying for my pc? I already have a cam but I want a second one. I know it's a twin pack of speakers but one be used for my new pc and one goes with my friends pc witch is my current pc

Well if you replie to my post above ping me. Gn chat

[edgy holly]

@rigid fjord thanks for helping me too man that laptop is awesome

"works but covered in thermal paste"

it doesnt impact it all but man thermal paste cleaning sucks on am5

ye i know but just saying he could have cleaned it lol

what 10 gig NIC are they using

[brave brook]

—a 10 GbE driven by a Realtek RTL8127 PHY, a 2.5 GbE driven by Intel i225 series controller, and a third 1 GbE interface for the IPMI controller

Everything will be 8127 soon enough, it is a cheap, low power 10Gbe NIC

[tidal geyser]

o wait that new card that costs nothing iv been talking about for a year

most of the processing is done by the cpu

[daring scaffold]

Z490, 10400F, and 64GB DDR4 for $180

[tidal geyser]

10400f makes me sad

but the ram alone is worth what 200-400$+

i kinda got myself a deal like this z590 and 11900 but no ram

[proven jetty]

Used G27/G29 gonna be your best bets at that price range, can probably snag a nice G27 with a 6 speed might have to spend a little more to get it with the g29

[pulsar root]

Why are people upset about the 5090 going from 2K to 5k? The graphics card was already very expensive to begin with so no one could afford it anyways.

[craggy cove]

why are people upset at the price of things going up?

crazy stuff

[sinful cobalt]

thats just rumours in the first place lmfao

[pulsar root]

It was only announced the 5090 not the other cards

[sinful cobalt]

also not everybody doesnt have insufficient needs/disposable income for a 5090

it’ll impact the rest of the stack eventually

[pulsar root]

It’s not like people are just rushing to get the 5090; its already 2K for a graphics card

[craggy cove]

right but what if i want a 5090

if i have the funds for it but i dont exactly like burning money either

[sinful cobalt]

you’d be surprised how many are willing to be a 2K card lmfao

if you look at discord servers like corefinder they’re all waiting to grab one or whatever is in their price range

[dawn saffron]

how true is the leak of 5090's going up to 5000 dollars

[stray holly]

It was one “leaker” in South Korea so not that much information.

Penguinz video just fearmongered people more.

[rigid fjord]

tbh, this one's all on sim's advice

[dawn saffron]

hopefully it stays as a rumour 😂

[stray holly]

People are more upset at the idea of stark general price increases. Why would they stop at the 5090 when they can increase every other one

[edgy holly]

u did give me some help because of how confusing the cpu names were though

[dawn saffron]

actually just wanna ask . How soon can we expect hardware parts to stabilize

[rigid fjord]

g502 hero, or g305 tbh

[stray holly]

8Ball emoji

Using a completely different industry and circumstance, the gpu and crypto mining phase/shortage 4 years.

[dawn saffron]

i js planned to purchase another stick of 1 TB Nvme drives for my laptop and now it has doubled in price 😭

[stray holly]

It’s definitely not going to drop in the following months so depends on how urgent you need it

I just bought all my parts so I just bit the bullet and paid the price hikes

[dawn saffron]

not that urgent as of now .

if the prices stay like this . maybe Ram prices go down a bit . then i could buy a new system in a couple months

[craggy cove]

kinda expensive for a 9070 xt

can you buy from german amazon for cheaper?

[rigid fjord]

when you eventually become debt free

[rigid fjord]

what's the prices on those 2?

definitely overpaying then

did u forget to buy a case

[rigid fjord]

i wouldn't trust the psu personally, and tbh where's the ssd?

[elder portal]

lol its not my actual pc, my cousin brought a bunch of random parts because he wanted to make a crypto miner. we couldnt figure it out tho :/

[elder portal]

there is no ssd

[rigid fjord]

there needs to be one

[bold olive]

how do you live

[rigid fjord]

he's living like it's 1999 all over again

[elder portal]

yeah

[bold olive]

theres no dinasour emoji

[elder portal]

we plugged in the gpu while the pc was on and it started making sparks 💀

it still worked after that

[rigid fjord]

🦕

[bold olive]

i currently own and daily drive a power supply that has little to no specs and understated ocp

[rigid fjord]

this is how you kill a gpu

[rigid fjord]

his psu there is no better

[bold olive]

💀

[bold olive]

atleast i have 80 plus bronze

[light turret]

whats wrong with xfx card?

[rigid fjord]

means nothing in the greater scheme, there's a few 80+'s that are whites that's better than your psu

[light turret]

how am i overpaying?

thats the prices on those

[rigid fjord]

the 2 cards you're looking at are €80-100 more than what you can get them for elsewhere

[light turret]

i am from austria

the ones you sent are 20€ cheaper only

[odd spindle]

Hey guys, what would you buy for a tight budget for 2K gaming for the CG ?

[delicate geode]

Do I need to ypdste my amd chipset drivers after a fresh installation of windows? (like fresh from a stick)

[tidal geyser]

CG?

[odd spindle]

Graphics cards *

sorry

[stray holly]

9070xt

@odd spindle

[tidal geyser]

MSRP 5090

[delicate geode]

Ngl I don’t think I have heard someone refer to a GPU by GC 😂

Is it js me

[elder portal]

3060 is pretty good

[stray holly]

Js np ty gc

[odd spindle]

french x) CG for carte graphique

[delicate geode]

Ahhhh

[stray holly]

French Canadian

[delicate geode]

Makes sense

[odd spindle]

my bad x)

[rigid fjord]

and are 2 of the top model cards for that specific gpu line

[delicate geode]

No that’s mb lmao

[stray holly]

Mb

[odd spindle]

minimum vram ? 12gb ?

[elder portal]

yeah 12

[odd spindle]

thought so well thanks guys !!

[stray holly]

Np

Ty

[rigid fjord]

that's poor for a 2k build tbh

[brave brook]

everything gets condensation in such case. Hell, i take phone with me for a hour walk at 0-4C, i get back, phone has condensation on display just from being in my pocket in that temp

[rigid fjord]

4070/5070/9070xt would be the ones to look at for a 2k build

[odd spindle]

Oh okay !! well thanks :p

[rigid fjord]

yes, you will need to install all the drivers back on after a fresh install

[rigid fjord]

https://at.pcpartpicker.com/product/3wgZxr/ €640 euro's in austria, and still a solid card

[stray holly]

2k usd?

[light turret]

you See, i already spent way too much on a 32gb ram kit

now i want a gpu thats aestetically pleasing to me

thats why i chose the gigabyte and xfx card

[gilded harness]

gigabyte still dropping new AM4 motherboard

[gilded harness]

razer basilisk

[rigid fjord]

then realistically you should go for the prime

[rigid fjord]

absolute trash, and a crappeir clone of the g502

[gilded harness]

the v3 is actually great

older models are meh

[rose sorrel]

Bambu labs a1 or this one ?

[latent gull]

what about it

[rose sorrel]

What one that or A1

[rigid fjord]

bambu labs a1

it's the better printer

[rose sorrel]

I just like I can get combo for Same price as a1

[tidal geyser]

I feel like replacing the battery might be smart

[light turret]

still, whats wrong with xfx

i like the design a lot, and i already overpayed 250€ for ram 🤷

so my budget is already blown

[latent gull]

i hear so many people say they like the xfx design and i just dont get it

[worn willow]

SUS

[rose sorrel]

I have XFX card and never had a issue

[bold olive]

you said that like 80 plus gold

[tidal geyser]

me has XFX too

o the humanity

[worn willow]

cheap

[latent gull]

[rose sorrel]

lol they say ram is not affordable only $100 more then what I paid for bundle in December 2024

[tidal geyser]

micro center still has stock

that is why 2026 will be PAIN

most places still have some amount of stock left but new orders are a MASSIVELY higher amount that last ones they did

others also have contracts that forces memory makers to sell at a certain price for a certain amount of time

[thin plover]

the bundles are least affected, if you buy ram outside a bundle it's 4x the price

[latent gull]

i saw some map and i dont remember where, might have been gamers nexus video, where they made the joke that the only people happy with GPU supply in 2025 were large cities in north america, primarily places with microcenters. RAM is the same :P

[brave brook]

sure, this is the 'most expensive' list for DDR5 64GB RAM, but still

[rose sorrel]

Yeah

I payed $299 tho for that bundle

But it had GSKill ram

[brave brook]

these are the cheapest 6000 64GB kits

[rose sorrel]

It’s 32gb with kit

[brave brook]

i paid 225 euros for a 2x32GB DDR5-6000CL30 kit when 9950x launched in comparison

[rose sorrel]

I pay ed $75 with my bundle lol in December of 2024 LOL

[brave brook]

maybe 3 times the price doesn't count as expensive for you

[rose sorrel]

I meant 2024

[tidal geyser]

i can get like 1300% more money than i payed for my ram

[brave brook]

well yes, the 4x32GB DDR4 RDIMM kit would be like that

[tidal geyser]

welp my motarola got a new battery

[brave brook]

paid 25 euros for module, now they sell for 150-250 euros a piece

[tidal geyser]

i got 2x48 ddr5

[rigid fjord]

you look for a tier C or better psu, that could be any efficiency rating based on whichever brand, if you go tier B or thier A psu's you're more likely to find a decent gold efficiency rated psu, but still at the end of the day, an efficiency rating means nothing in psu quality

[brave brook]

DDR4 is still nowhere near of what i paid in 2018

i paid 975 euros for 3200CL14 b-die

[rose sorrel]

And maybe to get less wattage and be safe

[lean flame]

Word through the grapevine has it that people are building ddr4 systems because they're bountiful and cheap, is this true?

[tidal geyser]

eh

its all fucked

[rose sorrel]

Depends on ur area

[rigid fjord]

actually no, you can have the same wattage, but a higher tiered psu, generally is usually better quality

[rose sorrel]

My system called for 800 got a 750 and not had issue but it’s also a A-tier Psu

[latent gull]

yeah but also some people never stopped building on AM4, so, take it with a grain of salt

[daring scaffold]

DDR4 has risen a lot as well, but it’s def a lot cheaper than DDR5

This gonna be have to last me a year with the RAM shortage bro

[rose sorrel]

Damn why don’t u share lol

[daring scaffold]

😂

[rigid fjord]

generally cheaper than going ddr5 as a system, doesn't mean it's bountiful

[daring scaffold]

All for my builds

[rose sorrel]

Causally has 10 k usd in ram there lol

[rose sorrel]

Yeah but Asus and other makes are making b550 cheaper i saw that

[daring scaffold]

Nah, it’s only like 800GB total, maybe a little more

[rose sorrel]

I don’t think I will be upgrading my system any time soon

[bold olive]

💸

[rose sorrel]

I am looking at getting 3d printer do I need powerful pc to run it

[tidal geyser]

you do not need a pc at all

with a bambulab

[craggy cove]

i hope the condensation doesnt build up inside my phone :d

i fucked up my battery replacement
