[tidal geyser]

i think even some of prusas can do it too

[latent gull]

how get models?

[rigid fjord]

nope, it can be done from your phone with many, however if you want to edit some and make prints from scratch, then a pc does help

[rose sorrel]

But I have exta laptop

[rigid fjord]

phone apps

[tidal geyser]

use that

[tidal geyser]

bambu handy

it can even slice with your own settings

[rigid fjord]

that's what it's like in every case

[regal forum]

Yo, what's a good upgrade for the gpu?

GPU: Rx 6600
CPU: R7 5700x

[tidal geyser]

5090

[regal forum]

A little more budget friendly around 400-450 USD xd

[worn willow]

iphone 17

[tidal geyser]

5070 should be around there right

[clear canyon]

5070 is a great gpu ngl

This is one of the cheaper ones i found:

you wanna buy my bitcoin

[clear canyon]

Im gonna shit your pants

[fierce cosmos]

Doesn't anyone here knows how to fix corrupted registry file?

[clear canyon]

Reinstall windows

[tidal geyser]

dism

sfc /scannow

[regal forum]

5070 is a little bit higher priced than I'd like, there's the 7800xt being sold for around 400 USD, is that good as well?

[clear canyon]

That can potentially fix it

[tidal geyser]

dism then smn i cant remba

DISM /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

[fierce cosmos]

Yeah, thats only last resort

[rose stream]

https://tenor.com/view/jordan-hunt-kick-roundhouse-facekick-yeet-gif-12657754

[fierce cosmos]

I tried it. It still doesn't work

[tidal geyser]

reinstall windows it is

[stray holly]

Clean wipe

Not much you can do

[clear canyon]

Reinstall windows

[tidal geyser]

its a fine gpu just last gen lacks great upscaling and frame gen possible it could get it but no news as of yet when and just weaker than a 5070 but still i would call the 7800 xt a fine midrange card

[fierce cosmos]

I might just have to reinstall windows:(

[tidal geyser]

look what i found on reddit

[clear canyon]

Bruh

Its not square

No deal

[tidal geyser]

im cold

[regal forum]

I see, but won't the 5070 get bottlenecked by the 5700x?

I only game at 1080 lol

[sinful cobalt]

thats a loose term

but yes the 5700x will be suffering with a 5070

[spark path]

why tf are my 1% so horrible, should I return my GPU? it's brand new

I installed drivers I enabled expo and sam

[regal forum]

How about the 9060xt?

Is that better than a 7800 xt?

[sinful cobalt]

just get a 5070

[stray holly]

What happens when u disable expo

[tidal geyser]

what cpu

[spark path]

ryzen 7 7700

[tidal geyser]

is it lower than your old gpu?

[spark path]

rx 9070 xt

2x16GB ddr5-6000 cl30

great stuff man so why is it horrible

[tidal geyser]

i ask agin is it worse than your old gpu

[spark path]

nah i don't think so

my entire old system is completely different

it doesn't handle 1440p

[tidal geyser]

what game is this

[spark path]

warframe

sometimes it's fine sometimes it's not idk what's going on

I am on bordrelless tho

ohhh, tune ram subtimings that helped mine a lot

[rigid fjord]

why no framerate highs?

[silver heron]

How do I disable this 2 piece of rainbow puke without installing armory bloatware

[spark path]

could wallpaper engine settings do this?

[ivory mountain]

run openrgb as admin, free and open source, then set the RGB to off

[ivory mountain]

not with these settings no

[rigid fjord]

it's an option to display in rtss, tou show how much you max out in framerate

[ivory mountain]

might sneak its way onto my top 5

[tidal geyser]

openrgb

[spark path]

it's the max settings tho

[rigid fjord]

why even use such a resource drag?

[ivory mountain]

it doesnt matter if its paused

[spark path]

it's not paused I got 3 monitors

well 2 but the 3rd is the one on the case

[tidal geyser]

no pc pics makes me sad

[spark path]

ok hold on

[glossy veldt]

have you watched Backstabbed in a Backwater Dungeon: My Trusted Companions Tried to Kill Me, but Thanks to the Gift of an Unlimited Gacha I Got LVL 9999 Friends and Am Out for Revenge on My Former Party Members and the World?

[tidal geyser]

Did you store the games on the HDD?

[ivory mountain]

No

[glossy veldt]

hey at least it's a WD

[glossy veldt]

you're missing out on nothing

but you should really watch kaiju no. 8

[tidal geyser]

if anything it would be a driver issue as 1% tend to not be dictated by the gpu unless vram is full

[spark path]

vram not even at 50%

[tidal geyser]

one last thing try downloading zen timings and show me the result

[tidal geyser]

yea exactly

[ivory mountain]

are u on 1440

[spark path]

yeah

wait actually my VRAM is not even updating wtf

[ivory mountain]

trust me go to amd driver 25.6.1 its so stable, my OC was causing gray screens and shit on 25.12.1

and my games were crashing, gpu driver crashing, everything

[tidal geyser]

can the 9070 xt go that far back

[spark path]

ok now it's fine and the lowest it hit was 125

[tidal geyser]

it can yea

[ivory mountain]

it can go back to 25.3.1

25.6.1-25.9.1 are the best

[spark path]

so it might be that the drivers are causing this?

[tidal geyser]

i tried getting him on 10.2 i think

[tidal geyser]

yes

[tidal geyser]

DDU and install 25.6.1

aight I will do as you say

am gonna wait a little bit tho and test more games and will run benchmarks

[tidal geyser]

nah do some testin

[spark path]

ahhh okay 😂😂

[ivory mountain]

put your ram to 9 volts

🔥

[latent gull]

72 amps

[spark path]

how about I put some solt on it and oil and fry it

[ivory mountain]

Yes

[tidal geyser]

12v

well i think on desktops its using the 5v rail and regulates it down from there

[south arrow]

Some serious corrosion/gunks

[mild parrot]

That random IO 😎

[spark path]

what does this button do

[ivory mountain]

turns on fsr

[spark path]

is it the frame generation thing that uses ai?

[tired bear]

yea i would demote this user to a desktop pc with a wired mouse and keyboard

[ivory mountain]

nope

[ivory mountain]

recently got my first gen 4 ssd

[mild parrot]

Bet the random io is trash tho lol.

[thin bloom]

So if there is a problem with the pc and I can't figure it out. I listen to the error code beeps

[ivory mountain]

i was too lazy to let any test finish i got the wd blue sn7100 tho

wait not wd blue the wd black

[mild parrot]

Oh rip my sympathies lol.

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/anime-rainbow-spew-disgust-disgusted-gif-10750848403272902220

[mild parrot]

Even the WD black SSDs I don’t recommend

[ivory mountain]

i got it for a games drive

[tidal geyser]

as long as it is a SSD it should be good nuf for most people

[ivory mountain]

i remember some people in another server bought gen 5 drives when they were brand new for 0 reason

[ivory mountain]

i dont see any performance difference between gen 3, 4, or 5 lol

[mild parrot]

The average load on an SSD is more random than sequential even with gaming so those sequential speeds dont me a much

[true stirrup]

There are debug lights on the motherboard
The beeps are not a thing anymore

[mild parrot]

Exactly lol because no SSDs will saturate gen 3 under a real world load other than a large file transfer

[tired bear]

beeps are still totaly a thing on low end boards

[ivory mountain]

yeah all i do is game or transfer stuff, i go do something else while its transfering anyways so i can care less about the small transfer speed boost

[tired bear]

and oem prebuilts

[thin bloom]

I want to get better air flow for the rear fan right above the psu. I'm thinking of taking apart the psu and drilling holes into it or should I do something else?

[ivory mountain]

i hated those beeps, trying to fix an old hp desktop and it goes BEEEEEEEEP at 2am

[south arrow]

You must never go there simba

[mild parrot]

WD Blue/Black dont even have DRAM 💀

[tidal geyser]

i bet it is for the board that has had the socket repalced

[tired bear]

born to build, forced to HP

[thin bloom]

Idk. I guess I have to see if my board I want to buy has that feature

[ivory mountain]

most people wont notice a difference with dram and dram-less drives, and its not worth the price increase, ssd's are already expensive as it is

[cosmic idol]

Can’t you still plug in those little piezos too or am I silly

[tired bear]

you can, check motherboad manual beforehand to check if connections are still there

[mild parrot]

Wear levelling is improved with DRAM. It’s not just about performance. It reduces wear on the drives.

[grizzled frost]

it's not the norm for HDDs to have DRAM

[random gyro]

Thoughts on hw-c450 samsung soundbar with wireless sub?

[cosmic idol]

Probably overpriced

[random gyro]

I got it for $47

[thin bloom]

Should I do this?

[ivory mountain]

m.2 drives already last way longer than hdd's and are more reliable, paying a premium for dram when u wont notice it when the drive is already gonna last for years + has a long warranty isnt very viable

[mild parrot]

Im talking about SSDs read the chat lol. And actually all HDDs have a small DRAM cache. Like 64MB or so

[cosmic idol]

Yeah solid then I guess

[grizzled frost]

is it 200usd total? if so it's a decent deal

[tired bear]

on my motherboard its called SPK_PLED1

[grizzled frost]

i'm not a huge fan of soundbars personally, but i see the appeal

[random gyro]

I got it mostly for the sub

[grizzled frost]

I have a 4.1 surround sound system in my bedroom, and a soundbar+2 surrounds setup in the living room, sound bar just does not beat two proper front channels

(i don't have a center channel in the 4.1 surround setup, so it's not 5.1)

[mild parrot]

Unless they’re QLC lol. I’ve had consumer HDDs that have outlived enterprise SSDs. Although said SSD was a seagate so not that surprising 😆

[spark path]

@ivory mountain what gpu you got? exact model

[valid fiber]

all of my HDD's I've ever had are still alive

[ivory mountain]

i wanna plug an hdd into my computer for my emulators and stuff but i do not feel like plugging in a sata cable im lazy

[ivory mountain]

6900xt red devil

[grizzled frost]

only dead HDDs i have are 17 year old 2.5in ones i inherited for free

(i inherited 25 of them and like 8 were dead)

[cosmic idol]

I have a 20 year old hitachi drive somewhere that still works

[grizzled frost]

actually it's possible some of those 8 weren't dead, but just apple vendor locked

i actually didn't think of that till just now

[spark path]

emulators? like bluestacks?

[ivory mountain]

no like nintendo switch, ps2, ps3, xbox 360, etc

[true stirrup]

It's been a very long time since I have seen someone get a motherboard without debug lights
Even the low end motherboards have them now

[grizzled frost]

i've only ever seen beeps on server boards

[south arrow]

Out of a good few handfuls of used hdd testing ive only ever had 1 beep fail at me

[tired bear]

well if user wants beeper let him use a beeper

[grizzled frost]

storage i either buy new or refurb, so all my purchased drives still function perfectly

[delicate geode]

should i download ALL of these? or are there any to not install bc of instabilty, issues, etc...

[south arrow]

I always get my drivers from the exact motherboard website*. But if you'd like

[grizzled frost]

install all

[tidal geyser]

i always do

[delicate geode]

hmm okay

[tidal geyser]

its a z170

[delicate geode]

are u sure i should go from the mobo website? is it a big diff>

[rigid fjord]

do not attempt to mod the psu, and you will not get better airflow at that spot,

[grizzled frost]

it's one of those things where if you have a reason not to install one of them, you're a power user and already know exactly what to disable

[spark path]

should I be using direcx12 for games? I got rx9070 xt

[tidal geyser]

well amd made the cpu and chipset

[tidal geyser]

yes

[thin bloom]

Okay so the board I want to buy has a error system. I guess I buy a speaker for my current board if it survives it's test later today

[rigid fjord]

wd black does, depends on what model you go for, also, with nvme's dram cache is pointless due to the speeds they do

[spark path]

oh well warframe was on direcx11 so that might have been the issue

[true stirrup]

Oh damn yeah I did not expect that

[delicate geode]

hmmmm okay but i thought the chipset was from te motherboard

[tidal geyser]

wut

[delicate geode]

is the chipset not on the mobo>?

[rigid fjord]

dx 11/12 is what you want to use dpeneding on what gam you play

[delicate geode]

bruh i cannot type this morning lmao

[south arrow]

Either/both is good

[grizzled frost]

the chipset is on the motherboard, but AMD produces the chipsets themselves

[tidal geyser]

yes and so does the cpu need to be

[delicate geode]

ahh okay

[spark path]

warframe....

[delicate geode]

got it thanks everyone

[rigid fjord]

it's always on the mobo unless you go hedt/server

[rigid fjord]

dx12 for sure then

[mild parrot]

The dram cache does make a huge difference to small random io writes as you can see in this test. I think it was the snx850 or something I looked at and it didn’t have dram iirc

[tidal geyser]

real world what does that look like

[rigid fjord]

when it comes to games and OS, it makes little to no difference at all,

also sn850,sn850x both have dram cache

[ivory mountain]

W linux

[delicate geode]

i have been reading alot online abt whether i should have game mode on or off and what power plan i should be using for an 9800x3d. its not a "dual CCD" so i shouldnt have to use game mode right? idk what to enable or disable anymore 😭 i just dont want to hold back my pc because of a random setting

[mild parrot]

Im more interested in the endurance benefits as I hammer my SSDs and I’ve killed a few lol. I run a ZFS pool with a couple of optane SSDs as ZFS metadata and small blocks and it makes some games and programs load noticeably faster. Not fussed about game loading times but programs/applications especially ones that cache a lot of data it’s day and night. The kdiskmark test I posted is that pool. The sequential is bottlenecked by DMI link rip.

[mild parrot]

Google be bullshitting me then 😭

[tidal geyser]

it does not matter its only for dual CCD

[grizzled frost]

power plan does matter, you just pick the biggest number one

one of the few times were bigger number better is true

[stray holly]

Is sn850x good I just bought it

[grizzled frost]

it's a bit late to ask, aye?

[stray holly]

💀

[tidal geyser]

from mediun to high all it does is not downclock the cpu and such

[rigid fjord]

very much so, now if this was an sn770, it would be different as that is a dramless wd black ssd

[grizzled frost]

i want all the performance baby, even if it's imaginary numbers you won't actually benefit from

[tidal geyser]

it keeps the cpu chugging even when nothing is happening

[delicate geode]

wait so what performance plan do i pick

[tidal geyser]

medium aka default

[delicate geode]

i hear balanced is the best for x3d idfk anymore i just dont understand why where are so many options and stuff

[delicate geode]

so balanced

[tidal geyser]

yes

[grizzled frost]

there's so many options because there's so many possible workloads people may use it for

[tidal geyser]

but in short what is best for most people is default

[delicate geode]

It’s too confusing and unnecessary for someone like me to mess w all this stuff

[grizzled frost]

that's why you just don't mess with it lol, the default settings are fine

[rigid fjord]

if you have the chipset drivers properly installed, it should also add in amd's own specific balanced and high power plan settings

[tidal geyser]

so just do not do it?

i was trying to find something funny but was unable to

[left trellis]

Chat the 7900XT seller is a little off

Brodie might be trying to scame me 😭

[thin bloom]

Idk why antec couldn't increase hight between the base of the bottom fans to the top of the psu by a few inches. It's a mid tower case so i kinda understand why a small gap. The last fan almost has a paper thin gap and it barely blows air out do with the fan in front taking it all.

I do wonder how good the cooling be if that fan could breath better but I have 6 intakes and 2 exhaust. Idk how good is the current air flow with the new cooler I got since I haven't been able to test it since I broke the board

[hidden hill]

does anyone know the best way to calibrate your color settings for an hdr monitor

should i be using this?

[true stirrup]

Download the ICC profile for your monitor

[hidden hill]

do i just look up my model and then "icc profile" ?

[true stirrup]

Yeah either you get one from someone that has calibrated it themselves or the manufacturer also sometimes gives it on the site for that monitor

[hidden hill]

ok ty, just need to find the model name for this one

its an lg ultragear 240hz 1440p hdr monitor, but they have quite a few model variants with the same specs

[proper gull]

You can probably find it in device manager

If not, look at the sticker on the back

[hidden hill]

it just says ultragear +

which i know isnt the exact models name

eh ill figure it out, just got to look through a few models

[proper gull]

The sticker on the back definitely has more information than that

Sadly yes. It be nice if my truck was fixed and registered in my name

[proper gull]

no they don't

[quasi moat]

…

[proper gull]

Well done you read a headline without understanding what it is

[quasi moat]

You can’t count to 10 without looking at your toes

[proper gull]

The processing bits in that chip aren't photonic

The interconnect between them is

[quasi moat]

The bits are

[proper gull]

Photonic chips will never be able to be dense enough for use in actual processors

[quasi moat]

The “bits”

[rose stream]

Uuuhh no, nor does it even make sense for us to have one for the next few decades?

[rose stream]

They will be speeding up interconnects between the actual chips, because that is something they're good for, so yeah.

[untold trellis]

I have an old pc that broke bcs of water, how can I safely check what components are safe to reuse? The Ram works fine I just plugged it into my current pc no problems but what about the cpu and gpu

[tidal geyser]

pics of water pc

[untold trellis]

I took it apart about 6 months ago and dried it off and left them in a drawer. The components look perfectly fine tho no signs of damage at all

[tidal geyser]

tried powering it?

was it just clean water or something in it?

[untold trellis]

I tried powering a day after it broke when all the components were dry and I had no luck, just trying salvage what I can from it tbh

[untold trellis]

Yeah just clean water

[tidal geyser]

try it again

i would just play around with it

[hidden hill]

im just going back and fixing all my color settings because i never did it when i purchased this monitor

use it for a week on then one off and see if it makes a major difference

[hidden hill]

is this being on, the only way to watch youtube in hdr?

[tidal geyser]

no

it makes SDR content HDR

no wait

no this is only to try and color correct apps or like yea youtube videos

[hidden hill]

ah yeah it did work

[tidal geyser]

auto hdr is its own thing

[hidden hill]

idk if youtube has some sort of detector or whatever, but that being on made the hdr mode show up in the resolution settings for youtube

[tidal geyser]

wait wat

iv never seen that

[hidden hill]

the hdr mode werent showing in youtube for the hdr video i wanted to watch

ah, the good ol 60hz vs 240hz

[tidal geyser]

wut

[light turret]

the crappy marketing used by some companies

they show something like that, always

[tidal geyser]

o motion blur thing?

[hidden hill]

dang, if only the entire internet catered to oled hdr panels, looks so pretty man 🥲

[rigid fjord]

tbh, a proper colour calibration is better than a single switch for automatically adjusting it

[hidden hill]

feel silly because my peak brightness was set to 390 knits before..

[hidden hill]

i downloaded a icc profile someone made for this specific monitor

[rigid fjord]

some stuf be hidden behind "premium"

[tidal geyser]

ah

[rigid fjord]

personally the adobe one is what most test against, so setting your own one up after calibrating to it, will most likely net you a better result

[hidden hill]

i just dont know anything about color accuracy and all that, all i know is that my picture quality is a lot nicer now than it was earlier

[rigid fjord]

rtings.com will give you some good advice on doing that for yourself

[tidal geyser]

arr things

[hidden hill]

yeah im going to have to adjust my left and right monitors eventually too, at least my right one as the left i mainly use for discord

what are some games that are really nice for testing an oled hdr monitor?

[rigid fjord]

visually, there are parts of far cry 5/new dawn that could give you some fun, there's also tomb raider which has some really nice visual elements

[hidden hill]

testing in e33 rn, forgot i also have rtx hdr settings which can be tweaked 😅

[glass crest]

are VA panel monitors really bad? for fps

my friend said hes getting ghosting and its blurry when he trys to track a target in a game

[rigid fjord]

this was with an rx590

[glass crest]

and is there a fix he can do or is he just better off getting new monitor

[craggy cove]

changing the overdrive settings help but cheap va-s kinda just do that

[hidden hill]

looks nice 🙂

[blissful halo]

I need a capture card in order to play switch games on pc ?

[tidal geyser]

capture card will not let you do that

capture card only captures your screen

[blissful halo]

Then how do I connect my switch to pc ?

[tidal geyser]

connect?

what do you mean connect?

[blissful halo]

Like play my switch games on pc ?

Or well

connect to my monitor

[tidal geyser]

you need the dock

[blissful halo]

I have

[tidal geyser]

use the hdmi port on the dock plug it into your monitor then switch the monitor to use said hdmi port

[blissful halo]

but that doesn't work right ?

[tidal geyser]

wat

[blissful halo]

need to use dock hdmi to capture card and then capture card to monitor

according to youtube / google

[tidal geyser]

wat

[blissful halo]

but was seeing if there was another way so i don't have to buy a capture card xd

[tidal geyser]

no you just fkn plug it into the monitor like how its made to be done

like using a capture card i have seen can cause issues even

[blissful halo]

I see .. well i'll try it i guess

[tidal geyser]

the dock is literally made only to be used with a external screen by non technical people

requiring a capture card for whatever reason would make no sense

[blissful halo]

Idk just what every guide says .. but i'll try it without and see if it works

[stray portal]

Guys my pcs worth jumped so much

Cuz of ram

Ryzen 7 5700x and rx 7800xt and 32gb ram

[gaunt spade]

oh i just love amd so much

[stray portal]

I spent 1350ish euros on my pc

[tidal geyser]

DDU and use 25.6.1

[gaunt spade]

ddr4

[stray portal]

Now jumped with 275 just for ram

[gaunt spade]

average amd issue

[stray portal]

And 100-200 euro gpu

[tidal geyser]

i just simply do not use windows

[gaunt spade]

no ones payng 272 for ddr4 sticks

[gaunt spade]

im not that nerdy to use linux

[grizzled frost]

people absolutely are

[tidal geyser]

ngl i would argue linux mint is SOOO close to just being windows simple

[gaunt spade]

well

stupid people

[grizzled frost]

far less than when they were priced normally, but still many people

[gaunt spade]

0 iq people

[stray portal]

Linux is good i love it

[tidal geyser]

your pc cant even BOOT without ram

[grizzled frost]

if you need ddr4, you need ddr4, you don’t always have a good other option

[gaunt spade]

people who buy ddr4 32 gb for 270$ are stupid period

[stray portal]

I switched back to windows but i love linux

[tidal geyser]

with gpus you could just use a igpu or older card

cant exactly use ddr3 in a ddr5 motherboard

[latent gull]

You also can’t use ddr4 in a ddr5 mobo

[tidal geyser]

well if they need it then what else can you do

[grizzled frost]

Your inability to understand other people’s reasoning only demonstrates your character, not that of others

[tidal geyser]

what about ddr4 with ddr5 board tho

[latent gull]

That’s fair but how common are those

[tidal geyser]

one

[grizzled frost]

one model?

[stray portal]

New mobo came out

[grizzled frost]

or one unit

[tidal geyser]

only one i know of

[stray portal]

You now can!

[tidal geyser]

not consumer either

[gaunt spade]

uncle iroh ahh

[latent gull]

That’s still not using ddr4 in a ddr5 mobo, that’s using ddr4 in a ddr4/5 mobo

Of which there aren’t many

[tidal geyser]

cant use both at the same time ofc

but cool to think about

ddr4 now then in 5 years ddr5

[latent gull]

Absolutely, and it makes me curious about possibilities of slotted/swappable ram slots

[grizzled frost]

fun idea, but i highly doubt the cost is worth it

[tidal geyser]

i think we are seeing

[gaunt spade]

very stupid idea

unless its same price

[tidal geyser]

he is at the first stage

[grizzled frost]

That i gathered

[tidal geyser]

well maybe both 1 and 2

[latent gull]

You just think everything that isn’t you is dumb huh?

[gaunt spade]

nice observation

wdym by isnt you?

[grizzled frost]

darling in the franxx would be even better if they chilled with the goonery

[latent gull]

[gaunt spade]

holy cornball

[gaunt spade]

wise words

[latent gull]

This is starting to become something common

[grizzled frost]

so many good animes ruined by goon

[latent gull]

Not just anime’s but IPs

[ivory mountain]

its just such a unique anime idk why i love it so much, it just feels so different

[tidal geyser]

mushoku tensei might be my fav due to how good the world building is but uh has issues

[grizzled frost]

there’s been a notable trend of manga adaptations turning up the “curves” of their female characters

[ivory mountain]

mushoku would be good if rudeus wasnt yk... rudeus

[latent gull]

Trying to watch game showcases now is like a lottery, is there going to be soft core in it?

[ivory mountain]

most of the mangas in these types of animes have full on drawn n$fw, such as darling in the franxx, my dress up darling, etc etc

[grizzled frost]

True, i kind of like how cyberpunk does it, there’s some nudity, but it’s as an active criticism

[ivory mountain]

real men watch fate

[tidal geyser]

the worst is when a series does not get another season when its so amazing and then rent a girl friend or smn gets it

[tidal geyser]

at least you can turn that off

[grizzled frost]

i’m so excited edgerunners is getting a season 2

[latent gull]

as opposed to anything by mundfish where its become the entire personality of the IP, instead of the actually cool concepts theyve created

[ivory mountain]

ahem 😭

[formal topaz]

Sup guys, anyone ever had an issue that ur pc is using like 8 gb of ram in idle?

[grizzled frost]

i wish edgerunners turned down the nudity though

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/sussa-gif-3576410136483948131

[grizzled frost]

like 90% of the nudity in edgerunners is unnecessary

[tidal geyser]

why not use it

[formal topaz]

n1

[latent gull]

its desensitizing though, which is kinda the point

[ivory mountain]

i heard edgerunners was good but i heard the ending is sad and i dont wanna be depressed for 2 weeks

[grizzled frost]

Yeah by the end of the show you kind of don’t notice it anymore

[tidal geyser]

there will be a season 2 sooo

[valid fiber]

fate/0 is the best

[grizzled frost]

Watch it, join us in the depression

one of the few shows that actually made me cry

[latent gull]

same with the violence, at the beginning its like oh wow this is gory, and at the end its just, this is just how the show is

[grizzled frost]

I like how they don’t shove it in your face that it’s commentary though, it’s just there, and you have to do the base level inference that it isn’t just goon and gore

no characters directly stating it, which has become all to common in media

[ivory mountain]

ok there we go

[grizzled frost]

most modern media is telling through dialogue, instead of telling by showing

[tidal geyser]

i think only 2 shows i know of really made me truly sad

[valid fiber]

i have high hopes for frieren season 2

[grizzled frost]

as long as frieren follows the same format of adaptation as season 1 did, it’s a guaranteed win

the source material is so good, they just need to not fuck it up

[ivory mountain]

oshi no ko was one of them for me

[tidal geyser]

yup i could not get past episode one

jebus it was sad

[latent gull]

modern movies just dont hold my attention anymore. and the last mainstream show i enjoyed was dr who until the end of the 12th doctor, since then only animated things have been interesting

[grizzled frost]

the newest knives out was so fucking good

genuinely one of the best movies released in the last decade

[latent gull]

oh yeah i forgot about that, i need to watch it

[grizzled frost]

maybe even better than the first knives out

[north loom]

2 days of dding a prototype laptop ssd and still counting

[latent gull]

the first 2 knives out were good enough, i just always forget about it cause i dont have netflix

[grizzled frost]

the second knives out was kinda meh

definitely a downgrade from the first, but the third is such a comeback

[latent gull]

second was a product of its time

it was not a good time

[gaunt spade]

[tidal geyser]

To Your Eternity is so good at making you love a character and then making you the saddest thing in the world

[wheat torrent]

fuck season 2

season 1 was so so good then they ruined it

season 1 was most heartbreaking thing i've ever watched though

[grizzled frost]

the promised neverland is an example of a show that never should have gotten a season 2

[tidal geyser]

i kinda gave up on it since it made me too sad

[steel umbra]

ikea ngl makes one of the worst cookies i’ve had

[grizzled frost]

the whole fandom just chooses to forget the season 2 ever happened

[wheat torrent]

well whats good about s1 is that it is so good at doing that

then you watch s2 and its a totally different thing

[tidal geyser]

nah i still think s2 does that but has its issues too

[ivory mountain]

i havent been watching much shows, i watched so much during my last semester of high school a few months ago due to me having to sit in a library for 4hr

[latent gull]

who goes to ikea for cookies?

[tidal geyser]

i kinda had the issue of not finding enough new interesting shows

[steel umbra]

atleast make them taste ok and not like sawdust with margarine, even sugar or artificial flavours they added in didn’t fix the taste

[latent gull]

im hyped for 2nd season of fallout

ill watch it all when it finishes the season

[ivory mountain]

my grandma was watching that when i set up her couch lmao

[latent gull]

season 1 was great

[empty valve]

i just started it from the first episode it seems pretty good lowk

[rigid fjord]

yeah, that's the thing, visually, there's a ton of areas that look awesome, the game play is a solid 2/5

[stray portal]

Heeelp me

Which one should i get

[prime fox]

Guys my pc has been on for 3 days and its making some weird noises

[tidal geyser]

make it not on for 3 days then

one of the fan bearings is dying

[prime fox]

No its coming from the psu

[empty valve]

thats ur fans begging for mercy bruh

[prime fox]

Which fan the psu or a normal fan

Cuzz im hearing it from the psu but its stuble

You can only hear when im very very close

[tidal geyser]

coil whine?

[tidal geyser]

the psu has a fan

[prime fox]

Idk exactly but its just sounds like a wobbly wheel going slow

[tidal geyser]

so a fan bearing

[prime fox]

Yeah after this night of macro imma turn it off and let it rest

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/itzillit-cat-sleepy-cat-gif-1344318570403703586

[prime fox]

Its gonna go BOOM

[gaunt spade]

anyone know why this taking so long

[tidal geyser]

get a better cpu or ssd i dono

[gaunt spade]

7500f shouldnt take 9 hours

[tidal geyser]

what are you even doing

[gaunt spade]

game

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/disney-movies-quotes-potc-pirates-of-the-caribbean-gif-14851127

[tidal geyser]

maybe use what it recommends aka winrar

[hexed tapir]

Get a chair that won't push your shoulders in and doesn't have a bucket seat since your ass isn't in a race car taking tight fast turns

[gaunt spade]

what does winrar have to do with this its a setup not extract

[hexed tapir]

Aka get an office chair

[stray portal]

Those suck i think cuz i wanna sink into my chair

Are there even plush office options at around 250 euro

[tidal geyser]

omg

[stray portal]

• huzaros are actually comfortable i have one of their chairs they dont push solduers in

[craggy cove]

literally tf is this problem, the motherboard doesnt turn on or shut down unless you do a bios reset

thats my friday gone

[tidal geyser]

ah, well good luck

[gaunt spade]

🙏

[gaunt spade]

anyone know what could be the issue for such a long setup

[tidal geyser]

bad coding

[craggy cove]

i mean how large is it

[tidal geyser]

probs baulders gate or smn

[craggy cove]

cyberpunk took me like 4 hours on a 14 core 13600kf for example

[gaunt spade]

like 80 gigs

doom eternal

[craggy cove]

fitness woman's repacks are kinda bad imo compared to others at this point

[gaunt spade]

i did cyberpnuk today not on fitness and it took like 10 mins to unpack

[craggy cove]

also pro tip you can just reuse thermal paste when transferring a cpu to another board, didnt impact the temps at all?

[craggy cove]

yep

[gaunt spade]

i used different for 2077 and it was more download but just a little and way lower setup

[gaunt spade]

its gonna be faster to download a different version and setup that

[tidal geyser]

why does that end with a question mark

[craggy cove]

on a 6 core yeah ig it be that way

[gaunt spade]

wtf is this

[craggy cove]

no refunds!

but yeah 61c previously, also 61c on this board

occt full load 90w

[gaunt spade]

red dead gon take 2 days to unpack

[craggy cove]

but this b650 can actually shut down and turn on! wow!

im gonna waste my limited time on this planet and try the old one again

[storm mason]

Is the only free way to clone my main drive to a new drive with a USB stick?

Got a new M.2 and want to clone my windows over but can't find any free programs.

[gaunt spade]

am5 cpus and lga 1700 ddr5 motherboards got cheaper

[craggy cove]

a lga 1700 d4 board i tracked went oos lol

also lga 1700 prices have risen

[tidal geyser]

just reinstall windows

[craggy cove]

another win for intel?

[craggy cove]

macrium reflect or whatever its called nowadays

[storm mason]

might just do it yeah

[craggy cove]

but i like to reset it cause idk feels fresh

[storm mason]

I downloaded macrium but i’m pretty sure the cloning was behind a paywall

[craggy cove]

technically paid but theres a free trial

[tidal geyser]

aint that paid

[gaunt spade]

i can get a 7500f for 100$
7800x3d for 250$

b760 ddr5 for 40$

[storm mason]

I had the free trial but it still seemed to be behind a paywall

[craggy cove]

last time i used it i got a free 30 day trial by putting the email [e-mail]

[storm mason]

at least i’m pretty sure I opted for the free trial

[craggy cove]

shit ig they changed it

[tidal geyser]

and now has to pay 100$ a month

how sad

[craggy cove]

i used it like a year ago for my grandma's windows 7 pc

[storm mason]

i did a full win reset like half a year ago but I guess another one would be easier

should I go for win11 or stick to 10?

[tidal geyser]

11

[storm mason]

with the new updates 11 seems smarter yeah

[tidal geyser]

10 aint even supported without a account

[silver coyote]

windows isnt gonna send security updates to windows 10 anymore

[tidal geyser]

lies

ESU you get another year for free with a online MS account and after that not sure if it will be 3 years on top of that or 3 years from non ESU time aka only 2 years after free is done you need to pay and with LTSC you get until 2032

[ivory mountain]

11 performs better than 10 but im going to arch again soon so i can say "i use arch btw"

[tidal geyser]

but 11 is just newer and better in all ways but the ai ones

[tidal geyser]

i can already do that

[ivory mountain]

nooo i wanted to be unique

[tidal geyser]

use pure arch

[gaunt spade]

am5 cpus so cheapo that 5600 and 7500f are the same price

[tidal geyser]

what about the ram

cant use em without that

[craggy cove]

got a 7600 for 80€ + platforms fees and shipping 😭

[ivory mountain]

im going to and im not even gonna use archinstall

[ivory mountain]

7500f is a peak cpu

the cost of ram offsets the cpu cost ☠️

[craggy cove]

google drive as swap space

[gaunt spade]

thats why am5 cpus got cheaper and lga 1700 d5 mobos

no one can afford ram

r5 5600 was only 65$ now its 100 :(

[mint umbra]

well just realized that I wont be able to use linux with some of my software so I wont be trying it after all

[tidal geyser]

cant boot without ram

[tidal geyser]

what software

[mint umbra]

icue

corsair

[tidal geyser]

yes you can??

[mint umbra]

I just looked it up

[tidal geyser]

also why tf do you need icue

[mint umbra]

I have the xenon edge thing

[tidal geyser]

and?

[ivory mountain]

this is a benefit of linux

[mint umbra]

it uses corsair softwear

[tidal geyser]

i have tons of corsair stuff no need for it

but there is this https://github.com/jurkovic-nikola/OpenLinkHub

works fine for me

[ivory mountain]

my stuff is just on rainbow cause im too lazy to open openrgb every time

[mint umbra]

you need the softwear to set up the macros and stuff

[tidal geyser]

wait you cant save em on the keyboard?

wait cant you just use any old random macro thing instead

[latent gull]

corsair ecosystem

[gaunt spade]

ique so ahh

[mint umbra]

I paid for this id rather full functionality

[ivory mountain]

i wanna turn 18 so bad im so tired of these dookie ahh jobs im tired of working with felons who are 40 and live with their moms

🥀

[tidal geyser]

well me too and i do not give a shit

there are so many ways around this

[mint umbra]

I dont think there is alternatives for this since you use the softwear to setup the widgets and stuff

[tidal geyser]

widget?

i ponder how many of your issues are due to icue being as stable as a nuclear bomb

[hexed tapir]

Wanna trade you can be 25 while I can be 17

[mint umbra]

I mean I just downloaded it

[tidal geyser]

why is it such a big issue then

[formal sonnet]

😮

[tidal geyser]

do you even have aany macros then

[formal sonnet]

You wouldn't download a nuclear bomb...

[hexed tapir]

I would

In all seriousness, yeah... there are still far too many peripherals that require proprietary garbage to fully utilize their functionality. I like to store my Logitech macros on the device so I can then remove the software from my PC.

[ivory mountain]

not really i dont wanna be old

[hexed tapir]

IRS pay your taxes! me pulls out downloaded nuke no I don't think I will

I have no idea what "good amount" is to you, but yes, I've disassembled many an electronic gadget in my lifetime. Some with service manuals (bless manufacturer's who understand how to "do right"), some without.

[tidal geyser]

for me i just do not give a crap and rip it apart by force

[ivory mountain]

my 6900xt is so repair friendly i love it

[opal light]

Do you think you could just give me a quick little guide on which screws to remove first for this 1070ti? It’s been in my pre built for 7? Years and I want to repaste it but I cannot for the life of me find the exact one on YouTube

[tidal geyser]

i just take out all the screws

just remember where they need to go

[hexed tapir]

Are the thermals bad?

[tidal geyser]

7 years?

[opal light]

Yes lol it routinely throttles

[hexed tapir]

Is the case dust free and have a mesh front or the shitty glass/plastic ones that were popular back then

[mint umbra]

ima just stick to windows

[tidal geyser]

the card still uses thermalpaste

[opal light]

Yes the fans are all good because I did all of that when I repeated my cpu

Repasted*

[mint umbra]

welp now after using this xenon edge thing im gunna return this shit

[opal light]

I’m guessing I should start with the spring screws diagonally?

[tidal geyser]

diagonally?

[opal light]

Like a crisscross pattern to release pressure evenly

[formal sonnet]

Good to know the Corsair XENEON Edge isn't worth spending any money on.

[tidal geyser]

aka a phone that needs a pc to work

[tidal geyser]

no you only really need to do it when screwing down

[opal light]

Oh ok

[tidal geyser]

ever changed tires?

[opal light]

Nope lol

[tidal geyser]

f

[opal light]

Does anyone have a clue on where the fan connector/cable would be?

[formal sonnet]

Somewhere inside the shroud. Without photos of the inside or access to schematics, impossible to say.

[ivory mountain]

lift up slowly after unscrewing, its inside the card

[mint umbra]

thought it would be as customizable as the stream deck

[opal light]

Ok ty

[mint umbra]

but its very limited imo

[tired bear]

behind the heatsink

[tidal geyser]

like i said take out all the screws

[tired bear]

this looks like any other reference 1080

[tidal geyser]

well you do not need to take out the ones here

[mint umbra]

does stream deck work on linux

[tired bear]

fan connector is bottom right corner

[tidal geyser]

das a black pcb

[ivory olive]

I think I fixed it.

[ivory mountain]

lowk look like theyre touching right here

nvm im dumb please disregard

[mint umbra]

I was talking about like offically supported not some 3rd party work around

[tired bear]

as it matters

[worldly scarab]

[ivory mountain]

nuh uh

!!!!!

[tired bear]

his is green due to OEM being cheapass

[tidal geyser]

XD

240mm tiny ass gpu omg

[ivory mountain]

if u wanna make it a little cleaner near the top should be a sysfan, theirs sometimes a chassis fan connector beside the pump/cpu fan one

[hexed tapir]

Don't forget to get a piece of paper or something to track the screw location

[opal light]

Yep I have a piece of paper with the relative location of the screws

[tidal geyser]

i just throw em all in a pile and hope i do not see it coming out the other side

[empty quartz]

Thats not ray tracing

[worldly scarab]

@ivory mountain ahh thanks ill look to see if I can hide the USB cable lol

[true stirrup]

Nice so you ended up buying it

[worldly scarab]

my cheap mobo doesn't have them.hidden in the back like some

[tidal geyser]

wat

you mean back connect?

[ivory mountain]

what board do u have

[worldly scarab]

asus rog strix b550 f gaming wifi 2

[ivory mountain]

and all boards dont have back connect unless the board is designed around that

@ivory mountain got this imac for free from work

[ivory mountain]

ooo

[tidal geyser]

rip and tear

[empty quartz]

I upgraded the ram, installed an ssd, and repasted the cpu

[tidal geyser]

a billion dollars in ram

[empty quartz]

Remind me to never try working on a 2012 or newer imac ever again

[ivory mountain]

that cable looks long enough to connect to a bottom port honestly

[empty quartz]

At least most of the screws use the same torx bit

[ivory olive]

thats thermal paste, I used linus method dump it in iso alcohol and blasted with canned air

[ivory olive]

yeah haha

[grizzled frost]

[true stirrup]

Finishing a show always leads to such emptiness

[worldly scarab]

[worldly scarab]

@ivory mountain one at the top

[tacit star]

There is some "Western Gold" Canadian in Lidl here, can't say I am heaps impressed

[ivory mountain]

is it sys_fan

or cpu_fan

[tacit star]

Tho I have to say I drank Bulleit before it so my opinion can be invalid

[haughty compass]

Does anyone know any good cheap wired USB C earbuds?

[ivory mountain]

i plug my pump into cpu_fan usually

[tidal geyser]

100$

[ivory mountain]

😭

[tidal geyser]

ikr

[haughty compass]

What does that mean

[ivory mountain]

it means theyre dumb

[true stirrup]

I would instantly scoop it up

[tidal geyser]

too slow

[haughty compass]

😭

[tidal geyser]

by a year

[true stirrup]

Sad

[opal light]

there it is

[tidal geyser]

and im sitting here using em 1:1 on my 7800X3D

[opal light]

Also holy dust

[tacit star]

I'd skip, no RGB

[tacit star]

Can't say the deal isn't good tho

[tidal geyser]

no that is called a good thing

[grizzled frost]

rgb bad

[ivory mountain]

im on 6000 1:1 lmaoo even 6200 wont boot 1:1 for some reason, oh well, got my timings much better that matters more than 200mt/s

[tacit star]

Nah

[tidal geyser]

i hate having to force the rgb to be offf

and it not wanting to stay off

[grizzled frost]

i snipped the rgb lead off my aio

[tacit star]

I love RGB

[grizzled frost]

cut the rgb cable, problem solved

[tidal geyser]

i just used expo timings too

[true stirrup]

Gotta put more hours into that manual OC

[tacit star]

I even connected my GPU to the hub so it can sync with the fans

[ivory mountain]

i bet if u saw it for $100 now u wouldnt skip it

[tidal geyser]

its ram sticks aka no cables

[tacit star]

I would tbh

[ivory mountain]

its good enough

[grizzled frost]

there’s one under the jacket i bet

[ivory mountain]

ur a dumbass if ur not taking 96gb of ddr5 for $100 just bc it has no ram

[tidal geyser]

jacket?

[ivory mountain]

its saughtered (or however u spell it) to the ram dimm

[grizzled frost]

no ram in your ram is kind bad

[tacit star]

96? Now I saw, my bad

[grizzled frost]

soldered?

also generally speaking, no no it’s not

[ivory mountain]

im a dumbass

[tidal geyser]

yes

it is soldered

[ivory mountain]

at least the gskill i sold was

[grizzled frost]

that’s what the soldering iron is for then

[ivory mountain]

u might be onto something

[tidal geyser]

Corsair stick

[tacit star]

1000 DKK. I am curious if you can buy this for €1000

[tidal geyser]

Perfect repair job

[grizzled frost]

you simply aren’t dedicated enough

[formal sonnet]

https://www.soundguys.com/sony-ier-ex15c-wired-earbuds-143440/

[tacit star]

2x48/6400/32

[tidal geyser]

or just appls

[ivory mountain]

that will be like 850-950 usd

[tidal geyser]

my current ram kit is 1300$

[true stirrup]

I don't see 6400 anywhere... push it further 💯

[formal sonnet]

Yep, if you have Apple devices and they fit in your ears, sure. Audio products are very user-specific.

[tacit star]

So almost 1000 but freedombux

[tidal geyser]

my ram i got for 100$ costs more than i spent on my gpu right now

[ivory mountain]

above 6000 wont work 1:1 💔

[tidal geyser]

get rekt

[ivory mountain]

i bet my rams still faster

[tacit star]

"If they don't fit, they sound like sh--"

[true stirrup]

Gotta tune the timings and voltage more

[ivory mountain]

6200 cl28 does sound nice

[tidal geyser]

my ram 100% was faster but not stable and i had kernal panics and my room became disco mode

[ivory mountain]

and ur pc exploded too i remember

[tidal geyser]

i was not here

[opal light]

@tidal geyser do you think I need to remove this screw to remove the board from the shroud

It’s lowkey stripped so idk

[craggy cove]

because of my own dumbassery, i now have a peerless assassin 120 se with no mounting hardware

ig it was 20€?

[true stirrup]

That's most likely just for the bracket

[craggy cove]

oh actually i have the mounting hardware from my phantom spirit 120 se

[opal light]

Ok I’ll put those bracket screws back in

[tidal geyser]

i told you not to

[craggy cove]

so i could mount this to an intel system ig

[tidal geyser]

wait ok maybe they do

iv never taken apart that card

[opal light]

I think these big ones hold it in

[ivory mountain]

idk why ive been playing so much bo3 zombies recently

[opal light]

At least all the thermal pads look great lol

[tacit star]

I can't say how much I hate in-ears

[tacit star]

I bought a cooler off ebay and two screws were missing

[craggy cove]

i like in ears for just sitting and listening music but desktop usage ughhh

[tacit star]

Luckily they were the kind of ones you use for the motherboard, just longer, not some proprietary junk

[craggy cove]

radiator mount or what?

ive fitted some coolers in very unholy ways

top mounted aio with hdd screws 🙏

[sharp ivy]

What kinda card is it? (blower or conventional) because my blower 9800GTX does have screws in that location that attach to the heatsink

[tidal geyser]

blower

[sharp ivy]

Ah ok

[opal light]

I think it’s a blower?

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/leaf-blower-most-powerful-leaf-blower-cleaning-make-it-real-the-hacksmith-gif-13817045

[sharp ivy]

this is the one I'm talking about

if it looks kinda like this, it's a blower

in which case it's likely that the screw does attach to the heatsink

[tacit star]

These were missing, you use them for the motherboard

[opal light]

Yeah

this screw is definitely going to be a pain

[craggy cove]

ooh

yeah thats lucky

[tacit star]

I am sure heaps here haven't even been born when AGP was the standard died

[tacit star]

Aye, you can find mb screws everywhere

50 from AliExpress for like a dollar

[craggy cove]

some agp gpu i cant remember + amd sepron whatever = perfect for windows xp solitaire

still not able to find an exact equivalent to windows xp solitaire

[swift stream]

got it for 30 usd at walmart, and the best part is no shitty razer software is required to use it 😍

[tacit star]

Caption: This is not a 1080 Ti

[craggy cove]

my dumbass bought 50 screws for m.2 drives but the head wasnt big enough so they were all useless

[tacit star]

My motherboard came with 3

[gleaming rose]

are ASRock boards really that bad on a non x3d chip

[craggy cove]

i bought according to dimensions not compatibility

[craggy cove]

i bought a used one

[fast girder]

guys covince me why i shouldnt buy this server. i dont need a server, but i thought, with ram prices, i could flip 90% of this ram and keep this server for basically.. free, on eBay the ram prices of these specific kits make it not a good deal for me, but they do got $2100 brand new on Corsair website.
the guys is asking $1800

[tacit star]

Now that's something I wouldn't do

I have no problem with used GPUs, I wouldn't buy an used motherboard tho

[craggy cove]

i have the worst b650 there is (asrock b650m h m.2) with a 7500f and honestly cant really ask for anything more

[tacit star]

I've always bought used GPUs, but motherboard is something I'd never buy used, just like a PSU or a drive

[craggy cove]

why not

[gleaming rose]

my buddy is getting an x870 taichi in

[tacit star]

Too many variables

[craggy cove]

also not buying used drives is weird

[gleaming rose]

I'm thinking it'll perform just fine

[gleaming rose]

yeah I've done this before

[craggy cove]

just ask for a crystaldiskinfo ss

[tacit star]

Well brand new prices are usually the same

[gleaming rose]

some people have said they kill CPUs

[craggy cove]

they look cool + theyre even cheaper than before cause nobody trusts asrock anymore

[gleaming rose]

tru

[craggy cove]

idk the cases are so sparse it might just be regular hardware failure

we still dont really know

[gleaming rose]

that's what I think

x870e + 32gb of vcolor ddr5 ram is a steal for $500

[craggy cove]

x3d chips fail on other boards more than others too

[tacit star]

Out of curiosity, does CDI catch fake Samsungs?
