[tidal geyser]

no

[thin bloom]

I just woke up. I'm not thinking straight right now

[ivory mountain]

pov me last night taking melatonin and having irl motion blur

[rose stream]

Well at least it's just the case and not the phone, right?

[rose stream]

Mmm... My condolences then.

[fickle ivy]

I own a Sony home theater sound system but by default the sub isn't as powerful as I would want it to be compared to the regular speakers, is there a way to change that without just getting a new controller

[thin bloom]

Phone works just fine no damage

[regal forum]

Is Rx 9060 xt a good upgrade from the Rx 6600?

[tidal geyser]

boost the base i guess?

[tidal geyser]

you sure about that?

[tidal geyser]

yeh

[rose stream]

Definitely.

[tidal geyser]

should be around 80% better

[thin bloom]

See no screen damage

[tidal geyser]

huh the picture looked funky

i have so many question

[thin bloom]

Okay go ahead then

[tidal geyser]

ah i see mirror

[ivory mountain]

why would their be screen damage if the crack they showed was on the back u dumb dumb

[tidal geyser]

why is it glowing

[thin bloom]

What glowing?

[steel umbra]

xd

[tidal geyser]

the surface is purple but the hit point is white

[steel umbra]

reflection

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/sun-and-earth-gif-26260628

[steel umbra]

@tidal geyser it looks like the hit point is at the beginning of the cut

[thin bloom]

Oh it's the light coming from the rgb strip from my desk

[tidal geyser]

why do you have grow lights for your desk

[steel umbra]

just get a new case

[tidal geyser]

and a kettle?

[steel umbra]

it served it’s purpose for protecting your phone

[thin bloom]

I have them set to cycle every color that the led strip has

[tidal geyser]

funky

[rose stream]

Aannndd what's wrong with purple?

[thin bloom]

I don't know what device originally used that cable. I'm using it to power one of my monitors

[tidal geyser]

"Grow lights are often purple or pink (from red/blue LEDs) for efficiency"

[tidal geyser]

i think it might be a like 20amp cable for a monitor

[proper gull]

10 amp

just a normal C13 cable

[tidal geyser]

he is a murican

[rose stream]

What do blacklights count as then? Lol.

[tidal geyser]

but yea they use c13 too

[proper gull]

And what does that have to do with any of this?

[tidal geyser]

the amount of amps a kettel uses but its just 10-12 in the US

[thin bloom]

It has every color in the rainbow. I just have them programmed to change colors very slowly

[tidal geyser]

no wait

you can pull a full fat 20 amps from a plug in the US

[thin bloom]

I don't know I'm not a electrician

[tidal geyser]

ofc can is relative

[proper gull]

A C13's current capacity is magically more in americs

[tidal geyser]

no but iv heard about kettles being allowed to go over certain power limits due to only being on for a short time

[proper gull]

no they don't go over the limit, they're still under the 13/15A rating of the connector

[tidal geyser]

anyhow main point thick cable for a low power device was the point

[native cliff]

is it safe to upload minidump files? i want to upload minidump files but i don't know if they have any personal info or stuff that shouldn't be on the internet

[tidal geyser]

to my knowledge they do not

[stray portal]

1 nas can easily be accesed from other systems because its network attached

2 nas doesnt waste drives unlike raid, so its taking advantage of all the storage avalible at hand

[tidal geyser]

wut

even a hot spare is not a waste

nobody who goes into anything server wise should see any redundancy level as waste

ofc if you have 3 disks being redundant in a small array for non critical things that can be a waste

[wheat torrent]

what

[spark lichen]

so i was thinking about getting a 5080, but a friend said that a 5070 was basically within 10-20 fps in most games, what are yalls thoughts on that?

[wheat torrent]

my nas uses raid

[wheat torrent]

not the 5070, the 5070 ti

[spark lichen]

i personally think the 5080 woulda been worth

[stray portal]

waste of storage mb

[wheat torrent]

it's not waste

[stray portal]

You cant use the storage its basically the same drive contents

[wheat torrent]

waste would imply it's useless or unwanted

but redundancy has a reason

but I get what you're saying

[rose sorrel]

Trying to get this on my tv have to restart game every time I get to move then I want full screen I am going to have to set tv as main display ?

[wheat torrent]

I think the question is goofy because you can have a nas with raid

and on their own they are kinda different and you would use one or another (or both) depending on your usecase

[tacit star]

Alright, after a thorough research I am between 2TB Silicon Power A55 (€100) or WD_BLACK SN850X (€186). It will be for the Steam library. Would the SATA SSD do fine, they are really that bad/worse?

[wheat torrent]

sata ssd is fine

[tacit star]

The M.2 option costs nearly twice as much

[tidal geyser]

crying baby vs nuclear bomb

but its games storage so for SSD speeds it does not matter

[tacit star]

Do they get slower after a prolonged reading/writing?

[wheat torrent]

its fine for games

[tidal geyser]

i would imagine its so low to the point it does not matter

[tacit star]

I will only use them for games (I don't know what else)

[tidal geyser]

games are not prolonged reading and writing

[tacit star]

I already have 1TB KC3000 for OS and programs and 4TB IronWolf for other stuff

[tidal geyser]

games load

[wheat torrent]

the average user barely uses the full potential of high speed nvme ssds

[rose sorrel]

I want to get a second drive vs using hard drive but can’t decide between a second m.2 or a Sata SSD

[wheat torrent]

depends what you use it for

[rose sorrel]

Games

[wheat torrent]

sata

[rose sorrel]

And video

[tacit star]

Yes, only loading. Do they really stress the disk that much?

[wheat torrent]

no

[rose sorrel]

I had a 4 tb HDD too

[valid fiber]

my storage is currently full of very redundant backups
once is get my incremental backup programm working I'll free so many tb

[wheat torrent]

wtf

[tacit star]

A buddy is telling me that this 2.5" SSD won't do heaps for games

[tidal geyser]

wait

[tacit star]

I think he is exaggerating?

[tidal geyser]

are you storing the backups of the disk on said disk?

[rose sorrel]

Would 500gb be enough or should I get 1tb

[tidal geyser]

or just on the same pc

[tidal geyser]

is that a t480

[lethal moth]

t490

[wheat torrent]

depends what games

[tidal geyser]

o wow i was close

[lethal moth]

ye lol

i fucking love it
will expand its ram from 8gb soon to 16gb

[wheat torrent]

peak

[rose sorrel]

Currently playing thought farcry series again

[tidal geyser]

i see same pc

[wheat torrent]

if you get some 200gb games thats enough for 2 games

if you play 30gb games then you can get a few

[tidal geyser]

what if you had a power spike and well power spike on all the disks at the same time?

also wait backup 1 2 and 3 all the same size, why not just you know raidz1 it in a NAS

[valid fiber]

they are rarely even connected to the PC and usually not all at the same time

but if a power spike kills all my hardware at once i would be sad

[tidal geyser]

slap down a NAS so you can have ZFS keep repairing bit rot and also do snapshots

[wheat torrent]

yell at your hdds

[tidal geyser]

setup a simple automatic backup system or cloud storage kinda thing

all for no monthly fees

[wheat torrent]

18tb cloud storage...

[tidal geyser]

18+18

36TB usable

[tacit star]

Alright what should you do in order to kill (or make it fail) an SSD/NVMe?

[tidal geyser]

2 disks would need to fail for data loss

[tidal geyser]

snap it in 2

[wheat torrent]

It will take over a week to upload 18tb on cloud no?

[valid fiber]

I'll add the repair data later manually
and i don't want or need the storage to be available constantly over network
that would just be a pointless waste of power and wear the hdd's down

[wheat torrent]

most cloud storage services I used can do only 320mbps at most

[tidal geyser]

too late now but i meant making those 3 HDDs into the cloudstorage and if you have 10gig local well you can do 10gig

[tidal geyser]

fyi having em spun up all the time is better for the HDDs

[somber zealot]

..

[tacit star]

I mean of course the NVMe is better but the price is almost double

[tidal geyser]

aka why we keep saying it does not matter for games

[tacit star]

And I wonder if it will make any dingus difference

[tidal geyser]

ZFS is just a way better file system

[valid fiber]

i prefer having my repair data seperate from the file system
not every file is that important

[tidal geyser]

but yes ofc it will take some extra power but you can also setup some services to run like home assistant game hosting or the other stuff i said.

[tidal geyser]

also what do you mean repair data

[rose sorrel]

I can’t get my game to go full screen on my tv when I do goes back to my monitor and I the shout cut and won’t do it

[tacit star]

Well the price is exactly double if I get (I will need) a heatsink

[rose sorrel]

So do I need to set my tv as main display ?

[tacit star]

€100 SSD vs €200 NVMe for 2TB

I think the choice is clear (neither is a hard drive)

[valid fiber]

.par2 files that can repair bitrot
pretty close to what zfs does in the background

[tidal geyser]

15 years

go ahed with NTFS and that stuff but ama keep muh shit secure on a modern file system

[tacit star]

I hope I don't need more storage any time soon

[lavish needle]

How can I get a monitor here to stay stable like my laptop screen when it's folded back

[tidal geyser]

rip

[tacit star]

Are you saying that reliability/durability concerns are irrelevant too?

[tidal geyser]

are you going to use it as a L2ARC drive?

[tacit star]

Wdym

[lavish needle]

Rip what

[tidal geyser]

HDD

[tidal geyser]

that means no

[lavish needle]

What about it

[tacit star]

For my music I have a hard drive

[tidal geyser]

makes me sad

[lavish needle]

Why

[tidal geyser]

slow and painful to use

the prices are a bit sad now but before with really good luck have been possible to find a 256GB 2.5 SSDs

[lavish needle]

I use it and it uses

[ivory mountain]

holy shit dude can steam work for once this is why i games dude omfg

[tacit star]

Even with today's prices, it should be illegal to install OS on a hard drive

[slow sable]

Fym?

[tidal geyser]

sick i sold another thing

im raking in the cash

[nimble wave]

im thinking of buying this soon. My current laptop is dogwater and i've had it for around 3 years. It has an 8 core i5 10th gen , 8gb of ram, and a 512gb ssd.

this new one has a 13th gen 10 i5, 16gb ddr5, and an rtx 3050

i mainly do video editing, simple 3d modelling and vfx, and sound design

[tidal geyser]

13th gen 10 i5

[nimble wave]

with some occasional gaming

[tidal geyser]

what are your current specs?

[formal elm]

lowkey i would get an m1 macbook but idk how much 3d modelling / cad software runs on arm

[tidal geyser]

i cant read

[rose sorrel]

Is that we blue a decent drive for 66 dollars?

[nimble wave]

8 core i5 10th gen , 8gb of ram, and a 512gb ssd.

[tidal geyser]

should be a pretty massive upgrade if you do not even have a Dgpu

bet another stick of ram would go a long way

[nimble wave]

yeah my current has intel udh graphics

[nimble wave]

yeah either that or another ssd

specs of the new one

i just want to know whether this is a good option for an upgrade

[formal elm]

2nd hand m1 macbook would probably be cheaper and perform well for the tasks you mentioned

[nimble wave]

damn really?

[formal elm]

software support for gaming and 3d modelling may be limited though

[nimble wave]

yeah true

[formal elm]

definitely better in terms of power efficiency and battery life

[nimble wave]

the taxes from the us to roi are nasty asf tho

[formal elm]

and ive heard windows isnt amazing for music production, with lots of people using macOS instead

not sure if that is similar to sound design

but i know a london-based producer who uses a macbook for music production

[nimble wave]

pretty similar tbh

[formal elm]

yeah id just make sure all the software you need to use will run on arm first

[nimble wave]

how would i do that?

based off of specs?

[formal elm]

look up if the programs you want to run will run on apple silicon

[tidal geyser]

think a big reason might be how quiet macs are but yea for any "pro" work mac is number one

[formal elm]

yeah for sure especially with music production which relies heavily on single core performance i think

[tidal geyser]

no i do not believe so

seen people show the 9950X nukin anything else consumer wise for something music

[nimble wave]

oof

thats for blender

[tidal geyser]

with blender you really want a nvidia gpu

[nimble wave]

yeah which is why the lenovo would be good

[tidal geyser]

4GB vram is not great

[nimble wave]

but the 3050 only has 6gb of vram

[tidal geyser]

ah sick its the 6GB version

most mobile 3050s are the sad 4GB one from what i have seen

ah

[nimble wave]

what does this mean?

[tidal geyser]

its not a fast gpu

[nimble wave]

yeahhh thats what i feared

[rigid fjord]

you've never seen terminator or other films about ai and robots/androids

[urban copper]

Can I use something else then isopropyl when I clean my cpu

[tidal geyser]

im running out of duct tape

[tidal geyser]

ofc just do not put any on the motherboard

[urban copper]

What can I use instead of isopropyl?

[tidal geyser]

alcohol

[rose sorrel]

https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8yvqntJ/

I would shit my self

[urban copper]

What kind of alcohol?

[tidal geyser]

just only use it on the IHS and put only a little on a towl

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/daniel-moment-russian-vodka-gif-13885476136090366298

[urban copper]

Lol

[tidal geyser]

damit

[nimble wave]

okay i found a newer model with a better gpu

[tidal geyser]

im not a massive fan of pre core ultra cpus in laptops but its fine and that gpu is way better

also gets you av1 encode

[nimble wave]

whats that?

[tidal geyser]

more efficient codec

[nimble wave]

ahh okay

good lord 😭

[tidal geyser]

arland

[tidal geyser]

nothing used?

[twin grove]

Welp kicking windows to my extra nvme drive I have that I never use and installing endeavor os. Just in case I am not happy with how VR works I should still be able to boot into my old windows install (if I cloned the partitions right) and play my VR games there

[tidal geyser]

wivrn

[nimble wave]

the 1 used laptop yeah

found away better deal tho, this one has a 5050 and expandible ssd and ram

just realised i got thew wrong ram

didnt buy but have the wrong one in my cart

[tidal geyser]

yup need sodimm

not sodium

[twin grove]

I've gotten VR working in Linux before I just loose like half my preformance on some games

[tidal geyser]

or udimm

[tidal geyser]

i just gave up trying

[twin grove]

I was on Nvidia last time and this time I am on amd for gpu I'm assuming it was driver issues

[twin grove]

I am using an og vive as my headset with steamvr it just worked last time

[tidal geyser]

ah i need wireless

[craggy cove]

im genuinely gonna start wasting the time of people who ask me if i could also sell my ddr5 ram with my b650 and cpu

32gb for 150 ok hit the road

[tidal geyser]

xd i got people to buy my basic 3060 12GB for 230$

well person

sold my r7 3700x for 100$
sold a i9 11900 and z590 for 300$
sold a b350 for 70$

all this just today

[craggy cove]

how tf do i do this

[tidal geyser]

get rekt

[craggy cove]

3700x for 100 thats a jugging

scamming atp

[tidal geyser]

nah r5 5600 is like 150+

[craggy cove]

new maybe

[tidal geyser]

the used market is fucked here

[craggy cove]

117€ new

[tidal geyser]

o yea the chap was hard locked to 100$ MAX

[craggy cove]

ok problem is i cant find a single fucking am4 cpu either

[tidal geyser]

this too

[craggy cove]

actually after 2 months i got 1

a 3600 for 40 + 4 shipping

and that was some "posted 1 hr ago" shit

makes sense cause who is upgrading atp

[nimble wave]

there we go

[craggy cove]

i love this game

[split laurel]

Got the 7900xt

[craggy cove]

"mm i actually have 32gb, how much are you offering?"
"how much do you want?"

not working on me pal

[tidal geyser]

just say 2x the asking price

[craggy cove]

they eventually offered 150 like nah

[craggy cove]

yeah probably what im going to say to the next buyer

ive got like 3 sets of a ryzen 5 7600 + b650 to sell

[nimble wave]

ill be paying €518 for it since my mam has agreed to pay half

[tidal geyser]

i should list my 64GB sodimm kit

[craggy cove]

sold 1 already a month ago, now ive got my hands on 2 more

[slow sable]

Yea but how does that concern ME

[craggy cove]

those are some shitty prices

i get it nand shortage but those prices are bad

the laptop price is okay

[tidal geyser]

he is in arland

https://tenor.com/view/ireland-irish-dancing-dancing-the-simpsons-dance-gif-12362777

[twin grove]

I bet the original vive wireless adapter would work to be fair it connects the same way it does all the wireless stuff from its own box from what I can tell no need for the pc to do anything more than it does for the regular vive

[tidal geyser]

im pretty sure it might be due to me messing with something

why it is broke

[twin grove]

Ah

[brave brook]

i hate expenses i have to do as adult. Like buying a 600+ euro fridge because old one died. Wish i could spend that money on 3D printer instead. Oh well

[tidal geyser]

i rent so i do not need to :3

i do not even pay for power or trash or water or any of dat

[brave brook]

ah yes, so you pay more every month instead of spending 650 euros once a decade or two /s

[tidal geyser]

only been here for 2 years

they have bought a light bulb

[rigid fjord]

robot dog

[rigid fjord]

said every adult the moment they have to do taxes and pay bills

[nimble wave]

https://tenor.com/view/irish-marty-potato-dance-gif-13004563

[proper gull]

could've bought a used one

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[brave brook]

fridge ? nah. bought a relatively good one with very low power consumption

your average modern fridge

only 'drawback' is that it doesn't have ThinQ, thus i can't monitor it via Home Assistant. but meh, ain't paying extra for that

[ancient stratus]

Ok gentleshitters I’m losing my mind over this, my fps is capped at 144 (my monitor is 155hz but on some games sometimes my screen flickers I sometimes get stutters. Any ideas,

[tidal geyser]

never seen a 155hz monitor

[ancient stratus]

Might not be

It’s around that lol I’m in bed rn

FPS is below the hz of the monitor tho I know that

[tidal geyser]

i have a strong feeling you have a 144hz screen

[ancient stratus]

Ah yeah it is

https://www.argos.co.uk/product/8696870?storeID=234&utm_custom6=LIA&utm_source=google&utm_medium=free_listing&utm_campaign=merchant_center&deeplink=true

[ancient stratus]

This is le monitor

[tidal geyser]

wow it really was 155hz

[ancient stratus]

:)

[tidal geyser]

try setting it down to 144hz in settings and see if the issue persists :3

[ancient stratus]

I’ll give it a go thank you thank you :))

[steel umbra]

imo aslong it has indicators of temp inside the fridge it’s enough

smart fridges are cool ig but are they really?

[tidal geyser]

i have some sticker thing that becomes black when its not food safe and says the fridge is food safe when its cold enough

[brave brook]

i mean https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/lg_thinq/ has temperature for fridge, which would have been nice, but meh, would be just nice for monitoring, not much else

[steel umbra]

if it cools, is large enough and has like 7 segment displays for temp that is enough for m

[brave brook]

it has a panel like this, but visible only when open (same as Samsung has it only on inside)

[steel umbra]

orrr just go to the fridge where you will have to go anyways

[tidal geyser]

what makes the inverter smart

[steel umbra]

who says you can’t use a thermometer

[brave brook]

it's their compressor branding

[brave brook]

Q. What are the differences between an inverter compressor and a normal compressor?
The major difference between an inverter compressor and a normal one is the speed. In a normal compressor, the speed is fixed, whereas in an inverter compressor, the speed is variable, that is why it is also known as a variable speed compressor.

[steel umbra]

fridges with subscribtions to unlock the full potential are crazy

[tidal geyser]

so its quieter?

[brave brook]

and uses less power, yes. As you can see, it uses 110kWh/year at typical settings (a bit more if you set it to cool more) #tech-chat-1 message

[tidal geyser]

very sick

[brave brook]

i mean a bit smaller fridge from 2008-2012 would use 250-350 kWh/year?

[steel umbra]

my fridge is 150 i believe

[brave brook]

yeah, i was thinking about a cheaper Samsung (around 450-500 euros), but that one was 170kWh. I was like 'meh, i buy one fridge once a decade or two, might as well spend a bit extra'. And there was a 20% deal coupon on it, so i paid 654.09 € for the fridge including delivery to the apartment and disposal of the old one 🤷‍♂️

[steel umbra]

450-500 for a 170kwh is a ripoff imo

the siemens fridge that is 150kwh was bought like 10 years ago

[brave brook]

to be fair, it is 40 liters bigger and has the smart features, plus the compressor has a 20 year warranty (LG only gives 10). Still, meh

[tranquil thicket]

Total price just to replace thermal pads. Amazing

[steel umbra]

the siemens is 300L+

freezer and fridge together)

[slow sable]

Wild

[pure trellis]

Has LG fixed problems with their motors in fridges?

[steel umbra]

i believe the siemens was 500€

[brave brook]

motors ? you mean compressors ?

[steel umbra]

i’m pretty sure a decade and a half later you should be getting a better deal than me

the firdge was released in 2011-12

[pure trellis]

Plumbing electronic

[steel umbra]

so you shouldn’t be getting like barely better fridge

like yeah inflation exists but still

[pure trellis]

https://youtu.be/qM-rTkzTLis?si=kiIuU7qQN_tKQuw9 this thing

[brave brook]

if it breaks, it breaks. For me, fridge is mostly just to keep packaged goods so i don't have to buy them every day.

[brave brook]

well, for start what i bought is not 'american fridge' (the 2 door side-to-side thing)

[pure trellis]

Yep,not US market can be better

[steel umbra]

my siemens used to be A+++

[pure trellis]

Isn't the EU market mainly Turkish made for non premium appliance?

[pure trellis]

That before change in rating formula?

[steel umbra]

yes

they’re lifting the bar

my fridge is C now

[pure trellis]

I have zero clue where it will be today

Oh,C

[brave brook]

yeah, the one i bought is A on the new scale

[steel umbra]

so buying C efficiency fridge for 500 in 2026 is meh

[pure trellis]

You need to find those,most of the stuff in shops are B and above

Or that should be below

[brave brook]

actually C is pretty common for sub-600 euro fridges

[pure trellis]

No way Baltic getting good stuff

I was shopping for fridge last month, every was just A or better,even in 500-700 range

[steel umbra]

which is sad because A+++ (C fridges now) used to be 500 (600-650 adj. for inflation) in 2012-2016

[brave brook]

500-850 euro range

[tidal geyser]

do you need to replace pads?

[brave brook]

cheapest A ones

that is with freezer tho, not sure if you meant fridge only

(but those are rare)

[pure trellis]

Yep,online shop has below A

Weird in store hadn't any

[tranquil thicket]

Yeah but total priced ended up being $86 so I’ll just wait until my card dies and never buy a pc again

[pure trellis]

Don't as why A++ at lower line

[brave brook]

they either had old labels (i mean even A++ or F doesn't exist anymore)

[pure trellis]

They most likely just don't want to redo database

[brave brook]

or were some weird deals

yeah, old A+ and higher are new C

[brave brook]

some go to B class

[pure trellis]

Ok,that why

Oh,not that expensive

[brave brook]

yeah, class E 😄

that first small one on first image, wrong quote)

[pure trellis]

E can be all over the place

[steel umbra]

A+++ and above to C, B mostly C

stuff like 2012

[tired bear]

energy ratings got reworked few years back

a+++ went to be about a D

[fair quest]

Anyone here use Arctic p14 pro for their fans?

[tired bear]

https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/ip_21_818

[brave brook]

A+++ is B/C, A++ is D/E

[hexed sage]

Online safety act tho

[brave brook]

he would freak out knowing my country has a hard upper limit for RMA (30 days), if not fixed in that timeframe, 100% refund (even at end of warranty, which is 2 year minimum). If needs to be replaced, choice if you accept replacement part instead of refund is also on you as a customer

[stable sigil]

im mad. pretty sure my new drives are 0 for 2

[spark path]

i set it to 2830

[ionic peak]

Mass surveillance written tiny behind it

[tribal estuary]

Does y'all's AI ever just do this

Maybe it's because my google account say I'm 15?

Considering a new premium 2 in 1 laptop - upgrading from dell xps 13 2 in 1 7390

Was checking the lenovo yoga 7i aura edition

Has options of ultra 5 and ultra 7..

Would appreciate if someone can guide and help

[pure trellis]

What your daily use, anyway?

here is my coil whine running 120 fps 1440p 😔

[pure trellis]

Aren't all GPUs coil whine nowadays?

[ionic peak]

Cringing coils

[shy saffron]

Office, excel, note taking, management etc

I have a gaming pc on the side to take care of the heavy duty

[peak knot]

all coils whine, its the nature of having a bunch of copper coils making magnetic fields with iron wrapped around them, the iron will vibrate at the switching frequency

[pure trellis]

Extra cores in ultra 7 can help,but not that much

[rose stream]

Our AI, applying to anyone here worth their salt in pc building, does not belong in the same sentence.
No one here uses or SHOULD be trying to use it for pc building, simply because most (if not all) of them suck at at giving actually good advice.

[shy saffron]

I was thinking ultra 5 (newer one) For 1,10,000 inr but ultra 7 is for inr 1,30,000

[pure trellis]

To be fair, just check battery life on those versions

[shy saffron]

In perspective 20k inr is basically a good premium b850 board

Lemme share a link

Get the cheapest one, the difference isn't that huge to be noticeable

[shy saffron]

What if I also say that the older ultra 9 is in the similar range

ive somehow just realized my dumbass hasnt updated drivers since april lmao

[dull zinc]

Hey guys quick question ya all know what this is ? i just found it i dont remeber installing anything thats iot? is a virus

[plucky lodge]

could tag some of these example?

[plain cypress]

No ♥️

[steel umbra]

run it through virustotal or malwarebytes

[brave brook]

keyboard stuff ? https://www.reddit.com/r/Epomaker/comments/uygwbw/eclair_75_software_driver_a_virus_iot_driver/

[steel umbra]

ideally debug

that it sends data to some server doesn’t auto mean that it’s malware

[brave brook]

and https://www.reddit.com/r/de_EDV/comments/1i3tmmj/tsicherheit_einer_tastatur_mit_webapptreiber/

[steel umbra]

but if it sends all user input to some server then that’s a red flag

for example

[brave brook]

seems like a dumb system to configure they keyboard, which could be abused for other stuff too. In the end, it's up to you

[steel umbra]

if you don’t know how to check how it’s programmed or what it does then just scan it with malwarebytes, virustotal which will catch like 80-90% of threats

if you still don’t trust it fresh reinstall windows

[somber zealot]

for whoever said it’s sad they can’t use their laptop’s 32gb ddr5 in their pc; https://youtube.com/shorts/Z4CAlLbqa34?si=30ay7Nr4dnSaUYs-

[steel umbra]

so it’s from monsgeek?

[brave brook]

it is installed by multiple keyboard makers

[dull zinc]

how can i run it through virustotal if idk what it is

[steel umbra]

i’ve ran many sketchy keyboard drivers without sometimes checking and nothing so far which is expected

the chances are generally low

but low is still high

because it’s your precious files

[steel umbra]

put it’s files into it

[odd saffron]

Hey I need some help with figuring out a bottleneck
(This is hypothetical)

[steel umbra]

what you’re looking for is the piece of software sending all user input into some sort of server

at that point if you find it, it’s a red flag

[dull zinc]

and how do i find where it is

[steel umbra]

honestly just let it be

[steel umbra]

it’s not like western brands don’t do this

you basicly can’t know what they save and what is erased, it’s trust dependent

pretty sure there have been cases of peripheral software leaving easy backdoors for potential attacks

like armoury crate

and more

i doubt monsgeek would like their brand image to be ruined by putting malware themselves

[spark path]

tons of water wasted

[steel umbra]

also you’re not giving admin perms so it’s not as bad

[tidal geyser]

What are you trying to do

[tidal geyser]

Yes

[tidal geyser]

Up to the price but it's a low end GPU that lacks a lot of important modern say features.

[gilded sparrow]

some older dude at my work started talking about his pc said he had the best u can get i yold him to list his specs he started put by saying 3050 i newrly lost it bruh

[toxic marsh]

Anyone recommend good decently priced sfx psu?

Mine just caught on fire after i added the gpu

[formal sonnet]

When you moved the game, did you verify game files through Steam afterward? If not, try that.
If that doesn't work, create a post in #1027757333117415424 with your full system specs (make and model of all parts), a description of the issue and any error messages observed, and any troubleshooting steps you've tried and their outcomes, then patiently await a response from a volunteer.

[toxic marsh]

Right now i have zero dollars but i want something around the 100 dollar mark?

[formal sonnet]

Yes, it's possible.

[wheat torrent]

are jpg executable

[tidal geyser]

I do believe that is the mister who did not get the game trough steam

[wheat torrent]

jpg aren't executable ☑️

they may contain data which could be executed by a viewer / other software

[tidal geyser]

No

[formal sonnet]

Not directly, however, if they contain code that exploits the way a photo viewing application displays the image, they absolutely could give you malware, which is what OP asked...

[wheat torrent]

but that would be a uhhh

We have a folk tale about this in Norway

Is there... a reason your Windows installation is missing DirectX? To my knowledge, Windows usually includes the base DirectX components these days.

[gaunt spade]

idk if its missing

half of the games give dx errors tho

[tidal geyser]

Steam downloads it automatically

Tried this?
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35

[gaunt spade]

i have that but oh well again iguess

[marble hemlock]

when ram was cheap

[tidal geyser]

Can't put that in a consumer motherboard.

[formal sonnet]

Sounds like your options are to try a Windows reinstall, or contact the game developers to troubleshoot. After all, they're responsible for ensuring their software runs on supported hardware / Operating Systems.

[gaunt spade]

its not games fault obviously its my pc

[tidal geyser]

M ye right mister fox

I am amazed Linux just works when it comes to playing all the games you could want

[gaunt spade]

wat

[tidal geyser]

Cookies do not tast as good unless you pay

[fierce forge]

Im wanting to duel boot windows and Linux, Im only wanting to use windows for games with anticheat and software that cant run on linux. What distro should i use if im fairly new to linux (Im willing to learn) and want to use it as my main OS.

Sorry for asking, i just get really overwhelmed when i search or ask AI this question

(PC is all amd hardware)

[tidal geyser]

Linux mint

Fedora

If you are ok with some cli cachyos is what I use

[formal sonnet]

I recommend using #linux for questions like this. And also, what @tidal geyser said: Linux Mint is the distribution I usually suggest for those looking to get started with Linux.

[fierce forge]

ok thanks 🙂

[tidal geyser]

But with cachy just install bazarr or discover and it's mostly Gui for most apps

Kubuntu could also be a smart choice

Its Ubuntu but using kde plasma as DE which behaves and feels more like windows.

[opaque stratus]

Its happening

[tidal geyser]

I would just hop around a few times to see what each offer, took me 3 hopps to find the right one.

[tidal geyser]

Das how supply and demand works

[formal sonnet]

What's happening? All I see is an overpriced GPU sold by a third party. Nothing to see here - standard third party seller extorting people willing to pay crazy prices...

[tidal geyser]

Also that GPU is literally knows to be the most expensive consumer 5090

Well version I guess

[tidal geyser]

It's sold by deals2you xd

[formal sonnet]

Right? With a seller name like that, it just HAS to be a deal!

[tidal geyser]

They are just exploiting tbe fear at this point.

[formal sonnet]

Can confirm. At least when you buy from a reputable seller they're not charging $5K CAD...

[tidal geyser]

But I bet if the demand for ai keeps growing troughout this entire year we will see most even mid tier consumer hardware be prices out of most people budgets.

[spark lichen]

is the extra £180 worth it?

[formal sonnet]

Who the heck is "Inno3D" ? Regional GPU manufacturer maybe?

[tidal geyser]

If you have the budget for it why not

[tired bear]

why is your sc so pixelated

[tidal geyser]

They are fine probs something European

[tired bear]

they are in europe, same as palit and many others

[tidal geyser]

Probs did ultra performance in That windows thing

[formal sonnet]

IMO, no, and also IMO, the MSI card looks better, but that's subjectively up to you.

[formal sonnet]

Good to know. Palit I've known about, as their cards used to be sold through NCIX if I recall.

[tidal geyser]

Someone else was wondering the same thing and that was the reason why

[spark lichen]

i do have the budget for it, ill watch some fps comparisons of some of the games i play, see if its worth

[tired bear]

inno3d, palit. gainward. manili, biostar, pny (pny also makes all of professional cards)

[tidal geyser]

I love how my PC is only gaining money and not depreciating

[spark lichen]

it does indeed look better, you arent wrong there

[tidal geyser]

Eh maybe not gaining as much as I would hope, GPU I would lose like 300$ vs what I paid for it new.

[formal sonnet]

PNY ❤️ (since EVGA GPUs are no more). BioStar is a name I haven't heard in years. Weren't they the company whose motherboards had a lot of quality control issues back in the day? Or is that someone else...

[wheat torrent]

It is

It has been for a while now even I do believe

[tired bear]

are you willing to pay?

[iron ruin]

Nah, not really. I'm happy with my current Odyssey G7

Though my 6800XT is not

[tidal geyser]

But we got I think gen 4 qd OLED this year so 5k res

[iron ruin]

I just got my 32" Odyssey G7 4K 144hz monitor like three months ago. It's the new 2025 model

I only have one complaint with it

It is constantly broadcasting itself for bluetooth pairing and there is no way to turn it off

[tidal geyser]

Xd

[iron ruin]

I got a neighbor that kept trying to connet their iphone to it and I had to rename the device name to "DO NOT CONNECT" to get him to fuck off

Oh my 40 inches

Might be a bit much for me

32 inches already feels a bit big sometimes

[tired bear]

i got 32 inch 16:9 at work
i got very used to its size

[tidal geyser]

Sleep is so annoying, wanted to try and sleep a bit early but only got 4hrs until I woke up at midnight

[tidal geyser]

I will be getting a 35 inch this week as I got a great deal on it and I have been using my dad's ultrawide he got from work for 3 weeks that is 32 inch with massive motion blur.

[tired bear]

va be like

[tired bear]

16:9 35 inch?

O god no

This thing

[shell vortex]

is the icm file in the monitor driver download for sdr or hdr? should i use it?

[tidal geyser]

Not a driver

[tidal geyser]

Yes

[shell vortex]

it comes in the "monitor driver" download from the monitors website

is it for hdr or sdr?

[tidal geyser]

Yes

It should be both from my understanding

[haughty compass]

Question. Got a pair of relatively cheap iems from my friend cus they had a buy 1 get 1 free offer. Should I also use them for gaming (kbear ks1) instead of my current headphones (hyperx cloud 3) or would the hyperx be better?

Cus I hear people recommend iems for games n such nowadays (I want to use it for games like fn, val, & mr)

[queen trout]

Any good keyboards for preferably under 100€

[winter lance]

Would a 3080 be better

[formal sonnet]

You likely want the #peripherals channel. Also, don't post the same message in multiple channels; this is considered spam.

[tidal geyser]

Yes

[queen trout]

Okay i didnt know it existed thanks

[molten sleet]

Gonna prolly go down a rabbit hole but I wonder why after 1080/1440 we start using pixel height to refer to the resolution

[tired bear]

IEM are good if you dont mind them being in your ears but their mic might be a problem

[molten sleet]

Even still people refer to 1440p as 2k

[haughty compass]

I have a blue yeti mic so wouldn't be an issue

[molten sleet]

If u have a external mic dabbling in iems wouldn’t hurt

[haughty compass]

Cus my old headset before the cloud 3 had the mic break so I got a stand a line one

[tired bear]

well try to use them, no harm in trying

[queen trout]

2k is just simpler

[haughty compass]

Y'know what true. Will try using em see how it is

[molten sleet]

Real but 1080p is damn near 2k aswell

[shell vortex]

surely. you can undervolt it to draw less the the 7600xt and it still performs better. they both seem to be around the same price too

[formal sonnet]

Depends on the type of person you are, and the resolution you're referencing. Some resolutions have formal names. Some have trade names made up by manufacturers for marketing reasons. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_common_display_resolutions

[left trellis]

1080p technically is 2k

[formal sonnet]

While true, it's often used incorrectly.

[left trellis]

just 2048 x 1080 instead of 1920 x 1080

[hollow grail]

aula f75 or f99

for 45 dollars

[left trellis]

aula is some shit 😭

and the f75 can brick themselves

[queen trout]

So what should i buy

[molten sleet]

But like the 4k ultra wide technically being 5k bc of the height which is different than, say, apple’s 5k display. fun to think about but I might just be weird

[winter lance]

thanks I wanna get into streaming maybe idk yet tho

[hollow grail]

i got a f75 and it’s basically perfection to me but also im not keybaord snob
as for most things, THERES LEVELS TO THINGS, so please educate me. i was over the moon when i first saw 120Hz, thinking i could never tell the difference between that and 360hz, but now i have 240hz screen it’s better

please enlighten me about why other keyberries are better

[formal sonnet]

It's not "5K because of the height" - it's 5K because of the horizontal resolution... That said, because there are so many different variants of 5120x#### or ####x2160 it gets confusing. That's why I use resolution numbers.

[hollow grail]

exactly
bro i hate hearing the other thing

[molten sleet]

Wait I just confused myself with these numbers. 2160 being the same width as 4k 16:9

[serene pumice]

worst part about Netflix, my monitor turns off if the Hz is put at 75 hz, wont turn off while watching Netflix with 60 hz
some bs copyright hdmi thingy bet

no other game, streaming or whatever kills the monitor at 75hz

buu

bring back DVI

[marble hemlock]

bring back scart

[winter lantern]

Bros Alive soft and warm

[left trellis]

Im not a snob but aula has QC issues and the f75 battery is can burn

Irok makes some good budget keyboards, iirc the guy said under 100? The mg68 variations should be under that

I honestly think anything over 100hz is fine lol, even 60 isnt the end of the world

Ive used some bad keyboards and they are honestly good enough

in comparison with high end keyboards the average joe probably acant tell a noticable difference and thats fine

just that longevety issues and qc issues will absolutely effect the average consumer

[marble hemlock]

mods mods mods it was a joke, i am broke and ill admit it i dont need money broke life or no life

[hollow grail]

sorry accidentally implied you a snob

and yeah thank you for telling me
it’s perfect performance to me at 45 dollars as in i can’t think of a way to make it reasonably better.
i thought there was a chance you could tell me that if i hypothetically tried a really expensive keyboard that i could never go back or something if you know what i mean
👍

[hollow grail]

yeah ok what i thought
so basically f75 would be great value with little reason to go higher-end if it weren’t for aula qc issues?

[left trellis]

its all good LOLOL

[left trellis]

thats what I think at least

"what model are the fans" who tf cares 💔

[formal sonnet]

I mean, to be fair, that's the entire point of asynchronous messaging systems. They can ask questions when it's convenient for them, and you can respond when it's convenient for you.

[craggy cove]

can i email people rn then

[wheat torrent]

yes?

[formal sonnet]

Yes, absolutely. That's what email is for? It's just another form of asynchronous communication.

[craggy cove]

isnt that illegal or something

[wheat torrent]

?

[craggy cove]

they ban you n its a whole thing

[formal sonnet]

What? Who bans you? From where? For sending an email? You can't legally send business related emails without consent in many countries... is that what you're referring to?

[craggy cove]

whatever

[tired bear]

technically in my country for email to be considered official it needs to be sent during working hours of 7am to 3pm on a workday, if its not then its considered unofficial

[craggy cove]

see

and you get fines/jail time

[wheat torrent]

what

wtf is that about

[rose stream]

How... Is emailing someone illegal? For what reason even?
If generally, it makes no sense.

[tired bear]

working law shii

[craggy cove]

cause you wouldn't expect them to be awake at that time

[rose stream]

Mmmm so basically for like... Sending emails to workplaces or something?

[formal sonnet]

I'd love to understand the rationale behind this, like, from a regulatory perspective. I absolutely understand and agree that an employee (hourly or non-exempt) should NEVER be EXPECTED to perform ANY work when off the clock, but this is the first I'm hearing of sending emails outside of "working hours" being a problem.

[tired bear]

its basically "right to be unavalibile"

[craggy cove]

but if i just read the email later?

[formal sonnet]

Right, but I thought that applies only to the recipient not being required to perform work / be available? If it also applies to sending emails... wouldn't this mean that thousands of people are likely in violation of other country's laws? (It would be impossible people to know the laws around sending emails for every country on the planet...)

[craggy cove]

a simple solution would be changing the date the email was sent at in documents or something

if you sent it after hours on the 3rd, its now on the 4th or something idk

[formal sonnet]

Sidebar: for the record, I fully support the concept of "right to be unavailable" outside of work hours, and wish more countries mandated this as law so that employers didn't have the chance to play games with their staff.

[craggy cove]

can i invoke those right to repair laws or something when someone on marketplace tries to add me on facebook

[formal sonnet]

Or using "Send Later" if your email service supports this. To be fair, that's what I do with the "end of day" emails I'm required to send to boss-man. Most of the time I schedule them to be sent at 0900 the next morning.

thats a scam lol, even now 160 for 1 stick of 16gb ddr4 is insane

i use that all the time, you can also schedule send on teams and many other platforms

[frigid bison]

hmm

wait

what an awesome deal!!!

[frigid bison]

so i should buy internationally maybe?

[frigid bison]

youll pry my aliexpress ddr5 out of my dead hands

is possible to get 32 gb ddr4 for ~160 bucks?, in that case i could sell my 8gb ddr4 ram to a relative that is needing it and buy 32

[ivory mountain]

😭

i regret giving away 32gb ddr4 now i couldve gotten an extra $180-200 usd

[craggy cove]

alr man a good kit of 32gb ddr4 is like 130 lol

[ivory mountain]

im exaggerating

[craggy cove]

who knows in half a year

I dont know how shipping and import fees would effect prices so maybe

[craggy cove]

ive got 3 kits of 16gb ddr4 rn

2 will go in computers the 3rd idk

inject voltage till it dies

[frigid blade]

you can get ram for like half the price used on fbmp or something

its not everywhere, but theres good deals sometimes

[craggy cove]

i found a 16gb kit for 30€ today for example

didnt need it tho + they don't ship for whatever reason

@vivid depot

[frigid bison]

damn

[frigid bison]

wait really?

[craggy cove]

well here atleast

like a 3200/3600 mhz kit that looks good

(used)

[frigid bison]

got links?

[ivory mountain]

erm ackshwually its mt/s

[cyan bay]

hi im on a ryzen 5 3600 and ddr4 2666mghz 2x8 and my motherboard is a320-k and my gpu is 3060ti do y'all suggest just me maxing out my Am4 build? or try and build a am5

[winter lantern]

server be sounding like this sometimes

[frigid blade]

its an important distinction

[winter lantern]

is it like how storage is actually 1024 and not 1000

[frigid blade]

no

and thats not what you think it means ^^

Both numbers are correct, theyre calculated differently (well youre using the wrong numbers but yah, GiB vs GB)

[frigid bison]

ackshwually its m(s^-1)

[ivory mountain]

erm ackshwually

For actual exports, does after effects still only use gpu for 3d camera and gpu effects mostly ?

[steel umbra]

slow flower

[tidal geyser]

cheese

[steel umbra]

kinda sad modern super flowers don’t explode

[craggy cove]

what if i got an old one

fan loud as hell on this thing

[plush wren]

supa flower

[steel umbra]

50/50 on insurance voidance

[tidal geyser]

supra flowa

[steel umbra]

until you look at zillion

[craggy cove]

well it will be the problem of whoever buys this

80+ gold! unsure if its any good tho

gotta sell my old poo

[steel umbra]

i’m still having le regrets selling my explosive 50% gigabyte p750gm 2020.05

[craggy cove]

oh hey i still see those for sale

saw one for 30€, it genuinely tempted me

sadly it was out of the serial number range of boom i think

[steel umbra]

he did actknowledge that the psu aint like fine at higher loads and bought it anyways

[craggy cove]

blow everything up to save 10$

only for genius?

[steel umbra]

he gave me i think 25 for that explosive

[craggy cove]

got my own 750w for 35 😭

but yeah fair price honestly

[craggy cove]

chieftec polaris gold, b tier or so

i did not realize how loud my 12 year old corsair psu was before i installed this thing

[steel umbra]

i’d blow it myself if i had proper equipment, buut that felt like a waste so i listed it with a warning

[steel umbra]

hax

[craggy cove]

assuming a low power load and no transient spikes...

i guess?

[steel umbra]

yes

[unkempt mango]

Is this normal? I just replaced thermal paste, was running cinebench to test the temps. I have never seen it go above 100% util though

[craggy cove]

id rather get those 1800w 90+ emerald mining psus

[craggy cove]

always give it your 110%

[steel umbra]

he had like i5 system can’t remember which sku though maybe it wasn’t evenan i5 wasn’t expensive build

[unkempt mango]

wait I think I put it in the wrong chat... sorry

[steel umbra]

6967W 95+ gold better

[unkempt mango]

but like is it safe? or did something on the BIOS get messed up?

[steel umbra]

well below 50% sustained load on the psu

[craggy cove]

i cant really see how it would be bad

google tells me nothing concrete either

[unkempt mango]

got it, that's fair

[craggy cove]

well my undervolted 7500f + 2060 super isnt exactly using those 750w either

[unkempt mango]

Thanks btw!

[craggy cove]

np

[steel umbra]

i guess the p750gm was meh but better than some of those eurocase psus for 25

[craggy cove]

micro atx mobo in a 4000d airflow + a phantom spirit 120 se on the cpu

[steel umbra]

which are a black box

[craggy cove]

explanation: i got good prices

[steel umbra]

atleast with the p750gm you knew when it’s about to explode

[craggy cove]

ok thats just unfair

[steel umbra]

wym

[craggy cove]

im guessing the islamic state sold eurocase psus or something

i wanna see an eurocase psu go through a full psu test

ovp test im assuming it goes kaboom

[steel umbra]

i was very tempted to buy one 700w unit for €8 and send it to a reviewer but i didn’t pull my trigger

[craggy cove]

you'd be held liable as a package bomber or something

if only ted kaczynski had eurocase psus

also is eurocase out of business finally?

[steel umbra]

akyga psus as well look fun

some alibaba cheapo psus with a sticker on them probs

[cosmic idol]

3500w AliExpress psu

[tidal geyser]

trust

[craggy cove]

saw a 600w akyga psu with no pci e connectors 🙏

[steel umbra]

looks like no

[steel umbra]

if you look at rest of their products many of them have identical pictures and describtion like no name pwm splitters, fans, etc.

from aliexpress

i assume the rest is too

[craggy cove]

i assume aliexpress has better quality stuff

cause most aliexpress buyers kinda know what to buy so the top results are actually kinda okay

then again their seo is a black box

[steel umbra]

oh yeah they’re charging 2-3x including shipping

[random gyro]

sup

[craggy cove]

is aigo legit 🙏

[tidal geyser]

just buy from alibaba you know trust

[steel umbra]

like ordering from aliexpress getting it shipped to slovakia is cheaper than buying from akyga

at retail

[craggy cove]

importing and shipping idk

i was tempted to buy 120$ 5700x3ds from alibaba

back when those were at their atl

[tidal geyser]

tbh i would not bother as aliexpress is just meant to be a safe way to buy from china without getting scammed an never used alibaba so not sure if it has the same protections

[craggy cove]

but stuff like this would be logical to buy ig

[craggy cove]

alibaba is kind of the wild west so yeah

[steel umbra]

it has some protections, probably less

[craggy cove]

half the time you use some weird seller shipping method

[tidal geyser]

i love aliexpress

[steel umbra]

on aliexpress you can summon customer support immediately

[craggy cove]

is that even worth it

if you need a replacement motherboard for a laptop you actually need to throw it out most of the time

[craggy cove]

send back to china for a refund ;)

[steel umbra]

the seller has to pay the shipping if they don’t deliver what is promised

[craggy cove]

those fuck ass listings where its a laptop but...

the ram is removed
ssd removed
wifi card removed
anything else that can be reused

[steel umbra]

i did so with that fake 240*240 thermal camra

[tidal geyser]

its a x1 carbon gen 9 with a 4k screen, its like one of the best built laptops money can buy

[craggy cove]

well i got sold a non original battery completely different from the pictures and they told me to send it back with my own money

[steel umbra]

it was a thermal camera but ir resolution was much lower at like 64*64

[craggy cove]

oh sorry i thought the 9th gen was talking about a 9th gen cpu 😭

[tidal geyser]

nope 11th gen

so i got xe graphics

[craggy cove]

seems like a cool thing to buy

kinda worth then

[tidal geyser]

aka actually semi usable in VERY light games and got av1 decode

[craggy cove]

rtx 2060 level igpu someday...

[tidal geyser]

you mean 4050

pantherlake is said to have the raw performance of a 4050

[craggy cove]

now i get the hype

[tidal geyser]

me is so essited

[craggy cove]

havent followed hardware rumors in some time cause theyve been disappointing every time

[tidal geyser]

here is a funny thing

140v beats out 890m

[craggy cove]

9000 series amd will beat all 🙏

[tidal geyser]

pantherlake will also get intels new MFG thing

[steel umbra]

i currently have 256*192 thermal cam, had a 640x512 thermal scope which i intended to make a thermal camera from it but i didn’t feel like the project would go as planned so i sold it at 25% loss

[tidal geyser]

i really need a thermal cam

[craggy cove]

id record my cat with it or something

[steel umbra]

640*512 was crisp sharp

[tidal geyser]

i got 2 fully broken laptops coming in

i bet even if i do not fix the thinkpad x13 gen 2 i could probs still get a new board for it too and sell it for a profit

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1336647847810043914.gif?size=48&animated=true&name=LC_pog_fish

[tidal geyser]

and i got a actually working x13 gen 3 but screen broke so 80$ or so and i can probs get 1440p 16:10 touchscreen for it

i7-1260P 5g 16GB ram and 512 nvme SSD

100% gonna slap on a really decent screen and buy the biggest battery it supports and use it for everything probs gonna go full e-gpu and sell of my desktop

its pretty funny they went from 11th gen being 4 core on a i7 to 12 cores aka 4p 8e on the 12th gen

omg there is even a 1280p version of the x13 gen 3 with a 12th gen 6p 8e cpu

[solar moat]

wdym 4 core in gen?

[tidal geyser]

wtf is dis

[tidal geyser]

11th gen lower power mobile cpus were just 4 core

[solar moat]

ah yep and now they got all ecore low power cpus

they got 2P 8E i7 now in arrow lake U

[tidal geyser]

lpe is fun too

this is also funny

[tidal geyser]

im fine with the 4p 4e 4lpe i think it was on pantherlake

8e

[solar moat]

one pain full thing i have seen in past with ecores user was downloading game and it was only using ecores dispie rest of cpu was idle and had to go into taskmgr and mess with proitys to get to run on pcores aswell

[tidal geyser]

how long ago

a major point of windows 11 was fixing that kinda stuff

[solar moat]

like 3 months ago

[tidal geyser]

were they on 11?

[solar moat]

i dont remember

[tidal geyser]

probs not then id bet

anyhow pantherlake will also do some funky power managment stuff too

i also lied, very good screen no touch vs ok screen better for a igpu to deal with and touch but looks just ok

wtf again

ama wait and see if the display is even broken or not as the seller shows the laptop with the screen having no light making me suspect a blown backlight fuse instead

ofc question is why did it blow

tomorrow i will get this beauty, bought it for 30$

it has been brutalized tho

[hoary agate]

son

[tidal geyser]

its fine

[solar moat]

thats a new one

[tidal geyser]

just watch avatar 1 then some shorts or tiktok or whatever

[hoary agate]

we love supermicro boards

[solar moat]

its saying 0 seconds for me

[regal forum]

Rx 9060 xt or Rx 7800 xt?

[tidal geyser]

so many people have asked that question

[hoary agate]

js use userbenchmark bro /j

[regal forum]

They're around same price in ph, although 7800 xt is used compared to bnew

[tidal geyser]

7800 XT is about 20% faster in raster but not great in RT while the 9060 XT 16GB has usable RT and able to use the latest in upscaling and frame gen

but ofc slower in raster aka the most used thing while RT is the new cool where if you do not have a gpu with rt cores you cant even play the game

[regal forum]

Is the super resolution in the 9060 xt better?

[tidal geyser]

tf are you doing

syper res was downscaling right

aka render high and make it smaller

[tidal geyser]

i know upscaling is a lot better and frame gen

[regal forum]

What

[regal forum]

Really? Super res was doing that?

Hmm last I checked on my rx 6600 it says to make the game lower res to upscale it

[tidal geyser]

no i was wrong
AMD Super Resolution (RSR) is a driver-level upscaling feature for Radeon GPUs that boosts game performance by rendering at a lower resolution and intelligently scaling it up to your monitor's native resolution

its nvidia having used the wrong terms and such

[regal forum]

So is the super res better in the 9060 xt than the 7800xt?

[tidal geyser]

they are both driver level so unsure but i would hope so

[regal forum]

Yeah hoping too lol

[tidal geyser]

i have to wake up in 3hrs

[ivory viper]

Isn't it strange how drivers happen to be right around the corner when things mess up. It's almost like they plan it. So years later they can start charging for it now that we are normalized to it

[regal forum]

Real, I had to do that yesterday for work and died

[tidal geyser]

wat

yes people drive around corners

[regal forum]

The 9060 xt is around 399 USD bnew while the 7800 xt is around 430 USD used

Is it worth going for the used GPU?

[tidal geyser]

up to you but i myself would take a new card with all the latest features and efficiency gains while getting the ability to return and a warranty without any hassle.

[regal forum]

I guess

[tulip sparrow]

Hmm anything come of this? https://youtu.be/GqCwLjhb4YY

[stable beacon]

i'm trying to join a minecraft server but apparently the address doesn't seem to exist, i pinged it in cmd and it can't find the host

assuming it does work for other people why is it that i might not be able to join

[fallow yacht]

i should replace ts with an ssd now (my dad's laptop)

[formal sonnet]

Could be that your Public IP (from your ISP) is blocked, could be bad routing, could be that they have a whitelist system and block ping requests to the IP, could be goblins. Who knows. Contact the server admin to troubleshoot.

[stable beacon]

it works now when i enabled a VPN

[fallow yacht]

idk if i just go 870 evo or find other 2.5 inch sata ssds

[junior valve]

chat

[formal sonnet]

That points to some kind of routing issue or they're blocking the IP address range that your ISP-assigned public IP is in. Again, just guesses - nobody here can tell you, unless we happen to be the admins of this Minecraft server...

[junior valve]

how often should u clean ur pc

[formal sonnet]

When dust builds up enough to affect thermals / performance. I generally break out the vacuum for a mass cleaning every 1-3 years, depending on how lazy I feel. It helps that my PC case is elevated 6 inches off the floor.

[junior valve]

what if there’s dust but my temps r reasonable

i keep it on a desk

[cyan bay]

does anyone have cat problems with their pc?

[junior valve]

did your cat get sucked into the pc

[random gyro]

sup

[steel umbra]

my cat chewed on my cat ethernet catble

in my car(t) which contained a cart from a cat store, today the weather was a category 5 hurricate

pretty sure i should’ve used this for my joke https://www.merriam-webster.com/wordfinder/classic/contains/all/-1/cat/1

[waxen shell]

Dropping my airpod in the sink lowk fixed it, it doesn’t blast white noise in my ear anymore

[cyan bay]

LMAO

[cyan bay]

no what I meant was like their fur getting inside the pc, I got like 6 cats in my room and I can't put my pc elsewhere in the house.. so like is there cleaning tools can you all suggest? and also would a leaf blower be good for cleaning or what

[winter lantern]

Is it on the floor

[empty quartz]

Dedotated

[cyan bay]

it's on my desk but as I said I got like 6 cats and my room is kinda tight due to furnitures

[winter lantern]

Peak

[cyan bay]

it's still clean for now since the case is new

[winter lantern]

All ts for an arc

[empty quartz]

[cyan bay]

what gpu is this

[empty quartz]

Arc b580

[pale heath]

hii, guys like just now my laptop fell and cracked and i feel like this is a sign to get a new one, what's a good laptop for uni? because im starting soon

[cyan bay]

[winter lantern]

Just use a monitor

[cyan bay]

[pale heath]

omg oh yeah youre a genius i will take a monitor with me to the campus

[empty quartz]

[pale heath]

[winter lantern]

Portable monitor off tiktok shop

[winter lantern]

A laptop comes with those
