[dawn garden]

are those the antenna wires maybe?

[grizzled frost]

i genuinely hae no idea what they mean by 3600 ddr5

[dawn garden]

there is a mounting screw but i mean. been there done that.

[grizzled frost]

my guess is they mean 3600mt/s ddr4? since that sounds like ddr4 pricing

[dawn garden]

yeah i am not super duper smort

it might be a misremembering.

i speeds comparable to my phone, and then finding out im literally on a legacy chip that doesnt even recieve driver updates anymore

i want*

[tidal geyser]

pre rtx 2000 and gtx 1600 cards

[hallow jasper]

Its a Wifi card plugged vertically into an e-key M.2 slot supported by a metal bracket. Just needs to be unscrewed, slid out of the slot and the antenna wires carefully pulled off. Then then new one put in in reverse order.

[dawn garden]

ok do i need new antennas too? do they come with the new one? can you recommend a decent replacement :S?

[hallow jasper]

similar orientation to this Just so happens thats someones custom 3d printed bracket

[dawn garden]

my router supports wifi 6 but not 6e

[hallow jasper]

Do you not already have antennas?

[dawn garden]

i do...

[grizzled frost]

i suggested wifi6e because the pricing is incredibly similar, and there's potential for future improvements to your wifi router

[dawn garden]

if i get one that is wifi6e it will still work on my router tho?

[tidal geyser]

6ghz so nice

[tidal geyser]

wifi is mostly forwards and backwards compatible

[dawn garden]

ok thanks guys

[hallow jasper]

All you'd need is something like this to replace what you already have https://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Bluetooth-Tri-Band-5400Mbps-Network/dp/B09WQSNMCT/

[dawn garden]

24$.. .:D i might buy that right heckin now!

[tidal geyser]

why not get one of em kits with the stuff he needs

[hallow jasper]

your assembly looks more like this from th epictures you shared

[dawn garden]

wait that says laptop is that still what i have? u telling me they put a laptop card in my chonky desktop?

[hallow jasper]

because he doesn't need anything else, its all there already

[grizzled frost]

my reasoning for not recommending this is the fiddliness of the mobo antenna connectors and the difficulty at accessing the card itself, along with OP's apparent unfamiliarity with technology

[tidal geyser]

ah oki

[grizzled frost]

btw you can delete everything after the "?" in the link

it's just tracking info on how you got to the page

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/blank-stare-really-i-dont-believe-you-side-eye-looking-gif-778333749013059630

[hallow jasper]

you have an M.2 Wifi card in there now, i'm telling you to simply replace it with a newer one.

[tidal geyser]

i was just a bit too quick about it

[grizzled frost]

i didn't see the username on who posted it, just the color green

[hallow jasper]

He's got a board with wifi already and an existing card. just needs to swap it, everything else can stay the same

[dawn garden]

thats exactly what it looks like yes

(sorry for gettin a little lost the sauce)

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/tf2-gif-4564892

[grizzled frost]

sim pay for FP and link your acc to save me the confusion

[hallow jasper]

@dawn garden is gonna learn

[grizzled frost]

spend 5 dollars per month for my sake

[grizzled frost]

Fair enough, not the worst thing to learn on

[dawn garden]

...is floatplane only 5$ a month?

[grizzled frost]

5/10, there’s two plans

[dawn garden]

ive installed other stuff, i am just unfamiliar with wifi cards

ive installed graphics cards, ram, psus, etc

[grizzled frost]

to be fair, wifi naming sucks

[tidal geyser]

if anything i would get nitro and use different PFPs or smn

[dawn garden]

nvme's satas...

[grizzled frost]

wat

[tidal geyser]

tbf the wifi card is mostly pcie

[grizzled frost]

those don’t exist, given those are two different protocols

[dawn garden]

no i meant as 2 different things

[tidal geyser]

i have a m.2 with both :3

both slot and a ssd

[hallow jasper]

another angle of what you'll be dealing with. critical thinking and basic hand tools are all thats required to swap it

[dawn garden]

nah nah i meant ive installed satas before and also installed an nvme ssd before

[grizzled frost]

perfect for the ifixit.com screwdriver

[dawn garden]

not that installed a nvme sata

[grizzled frost]

buy now at www.ifixit.com

[dawn garden]

i already had the ifixit box from walmart...

[tidal geyser]

why not ltt screw drviver

[grizzled frost]

i’m memeing on the lttstore ad placement in ltt videos

[dawn garden]

i am a poor

[grizzled frost]

ltt screwdriver good, but expensive

[dawn garden]

lttstore isnt supported by my tech buying small loans company

(affirm)

[tidal geyser]

i was too but im becoming rich again

[grizzled frost]

i have two ltt screwdrivers

[dawn garden]

if it was id have the heckin backpack

[grizzled frost]

and i daily drive the commuter backpack

[dawn garden]

and that new hoodie linus wore

[hallow jasper]

I simply don't need a screwdriver enough to warrant a $70 one. I have 20 year old craftsman's that do the job

[grizzled frost]

i like the back pressure on the ltt store one

i also rather enjoy buying nice tools i can show off

i work with lots of nerds in my side job as a lighting designer

[dawn garden]

idk if id buy teh screwdriver tho

i think ill just stick with my lil ifixit kit

it was like 18 bucks...

anyways thanks for the help you peeps of loverly linus ville

im going to go buy one of those two amazon listings

[tidal geyser]

camera

[grizzled frost]

i also have an ifixit mako driver kit

good for all the small electronics

[bold olive]

smells like cheese

[rigid fjord]

either 7200mt/s ram or they've been running 4x ddr5 sticks and at that it'll do 3600 cl40 or so before manual tuning

[rigid fjord]

we both know, critical thinking is like common sense dude, so rare it's almost a super power

[spark lichen]

just kinda realised that the hyte y70 vert mount will be showing the fan side of the GPU which is silver and not white, anyone know of some cases that give the same vibe as the y70 but with a horizontal pcie?

[tidal geyser]

yes hyte y70 but you do not use it

[spark lichen]

it still fits?

a vid i was watching was saying its a bit close

[hallow jasper]

I think it’s a pretty good and doable first thing to figure out

But yes lol

[spark lichen]

also what sag bracket would yall suggest incase i do the horizontal mount?

would any cheap thing on amazon work?

[rigid fjord]

lego works, otherwise anything can be a antisag bracket

[spark lichen]

hmm might need to wait to measure what size i need

[warm folio]

Cool stuff
https://videocardz.com/newz/nvidia-dlss-4-5-to-feature-2nd-gen-transformer-model-and-dynamic-6x-frame-generation

[tidal geyser]

Old news already saw it on a Linux server

Like 30,min ago

[warm folio]

Oh sorry to disturb you then. I hope you can recover from my post.

[plucky lodge]

fun fact ur 1080p 15.6' laptop , has 141ppi, which more clear and sharp then 4k 32inch monitor 😄

[spark lichen]

what resolution and refresh rate monitor would yall go with on a 5080 and 9800x3d build?

[plucky tulip]

is a laptop with i7 13650HX and a rtx 5050 could last 7 years

[spark lichen]

a mix of both competitive online and single player games, some media consumption too

[visual charm]

I have a 16 inch 2560x1600 laptop

Im scared im gonna get spoiled by the ppi

[humble dock]

if I can't write on my ssd and can only read the files is it dead

[visual charm]

What games do you play and at what res

[daring scaffold]

Yes, but not well lol

It won’t be able to run a lot by that time most likely

[plucky tulip]

why is that

[tidal geyser]

8k

[daring scaffold]

Bc 7 years is a long time for tech

[plucky tulip]

i only play like val r6 n fn

[daring scaffold]

New games comes out, optimization becomes worse, driver support ends

[plucky tulip]

but could it survive?

[tidal geyser]

Read only mode so yes

[daring scaffold]

Of course, if you take care of it

Just like GTX 960 laptops are still around

[humble dock]

😭

[plucky tulip]

maybe for the long run i just need it to code

[spark lichen]

that be too expensive, unless theres any cheap lowkey ones on the market

[rigid fjord]

couple years but tbh depending on the laptop, you'd be plugging that into the mains alot to use it rather than it being on battery

[plucky tulip]

how long could it last cause my sister rog g14 is still going strong for 5 years

[visual charm]

If you play optimized games then yeah probably, but if you care about being competitive then probably not since 1080p 120fps or whatever your monitor is isnt realistic that down the line

[plucky tulip]

its a lenovo legion

[rigid fjord]

legion 5?

[plucky tulip]

yeah

[tidal geyser]

Low temp solder

[rigid fjord]

they're usually decent but you'd still be using it on mains primarily due to the cpu

[plucky tulip]

my sister laptop is a g14 with 3060 and a ryzen 9 and its still run smoothly

so could the legion last like around 5-6 years?

[rigid fjord]

it has the potential to do so, yes

[spark lichen]

hows this?

[rigid fjord]

though i bet your sister's laptop will outlast your legion 5

[plucky tulip]

why tho

[rigid fjord]

the cpu

[plucky tulip]

damn

is the ryzen 9 stronger? although the i7 is newer

[rigid fjord]

what ryzen 9?

[plucky tulip]

5900hs

theres another legion with ryzen 7 260 with rtx 5060 im planning on buying this version

[sly lance]

I have a gtx 950 laptop and it doesn't have any issues other than a missing m key

[random gyro]

new mouse what do you guys think

[rigid fjord]

that definitely can last a good while, definitely would be better on battery life compared to a 13650hx

[rigid fjord]

g205?

[plucky tulip]

so do you think the ryzen 7 260 version is better than the intel?

the price aint that different too

[rigid fjord]

and with a laptop, you want to have as good a battery life as you can

[random gyro]

g203

[rigid fjord]

against the 13650hx, i would say so, more so for battery life, if you want to go intel you want core ultra 200/300 series when it comes to laptops, with amd 5000 series or better

[mossy latch]

hello

[plucky tulip]

alr thanks dude

[mossy latch]

my dell precision 7560 after update bios

it’s still black screen

only caps lock light

can i use external hdd to reocvery bios

it’s seem corrupted

[plucky tulip]

yeah so i found another lenovo

is a lenovo ideapad pro 5 with an intel ultra 9 185H with rtx 4050 oled display and 32gb ram and 1tb storage

and its cheaper than the legion

[daring scaffold]

Of course. But can it run any modern games all that well? Maybe CS Go and Valorant on low settings, because those run on anything lol

[sleek fulcrum]

Hi all. Is this a sign of gpu slowly failing. When playing a game I will get 60fps good but slowly will drop to 10fps. After 5mjns the gpu fans spin up rapidly, go back to normal and my fps will jump back to 60fps. But shortly drop back to 10fps. This is not a heavy gave I am well over required specs. Its an rtx 2070, i9-14900k 32ram. Gsme fantasy life i the girl who steals time.

[cold skiff]

You need to tell people your average temperature, gpu load and hotspot temperature during all of this. You’ll be better off starting a thread including this information in #1027757333117415424

It’s possibly you only need to repaste

[sleek fulcrum]

I use the Nvidia overlay is this ok? It says gpu 100, cpu 4, fps 10

[cold skiff]

Temperature. Average and hotspot my friend. Most important

[sleek fulcrum]

Temp is 86atm, 104 Hotspot, thermal 81

[rigid fjord]

not as great a laptop tbh

[cold skiff]

Repaste it

[rigid fjord]

this is while it's under load?

[cold skiff]

104 for a 2070 tells me you need to repaste. And it will 99% of the time be fine.

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/anime-frieren-sleepy-sleep-tired-gif-11782053182910178899

[cold skiff]

Your drop From 60 to 10 is throttling

[sleek fulcrum]

Ohhh I've never done that. I assume its same as cpu paste, just tiny amount?

[rigid fjord]

also hwinfo > nvidia overlay

[sleek fulcrum]

Ya i just got hwinfo

[cold skiff]

Uh. Well sort of. What is your brand of 2070 / model?

[rigid fjord]

yes but more screws to deal with, still though, is this while under load?

[sleek fulcrum]

Gigabyte

[tidal geyser]

I got a 2080 super for 100 due to the old paste being so bad the performance was 50% of what it should have been

[rigid fjord]

86c while under load is fine a temp tbh

[cold skiff]

It’s 104 hot spot

[sleek fulcrum]

I dont have the super version

[tidal geyser]

I think I just saw. Mole

[cold skiff]

It needs a repaste rauko. It’s not rdna2

[rigid fjord]

the hot spot could be anywhere on the gpu, either at the core or on the vram

[tidal geyser]

Or it was just a mouse

[rigid fjord]

you can only tell by the tail length tbh

[cold skiff]

It’s on the core. Hence the throttling, the fps drop and then the hwinfo showing the down lock just double confirming

[rigid fjord]

dude, a throttle could happen because the vram got to hot

[sleek fulcrum]

Ok

So I will repaste

[cold skiff]

@sleek fulcrum tear down video. Replace paste and probably pads - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=a4Xx3zcg1wo

[rigid fjord]

case in point for an example 3070/3080/3090/3090ti when the vram was hitting 100c+ especially on the 3090/3090ti where it was literally cooking the vram to death

[sinful cobalt]

“ive never opened a gpu before”

youtube videos on teardowns for that specific model looking at their clownass:

[cold skiff]

He’s at almost max temperature, 100% core load and 945mhz core clock. Are ya dumb or summat?

Go by the data you are given.

[tidal geyser]

Always a great sign when things are packaged like this

[sinful cobalt]

ferrari F1:

[rigid fjord]

how many layers of buble wrap?

[grizzled frost]

how people package items is a great indicator for how trustworthy of a seller they are

[tidal geyser]

I think 2/3

[sinful cobalt]

“I have the seat full of water. Like full of water.”

We are checking.
Must be the water

[tidal geyser]

Tbf this was just 30$

[sleek fulcrum]

Ok thanks all I will watch that video few times before attempting 😀

[cold skiff]

Well we can suggest he just tosses the card and get a new one. Atleast if he tries and fails it’s better than to have tried than not at all

I’d check for more videos, that was just a quick google on tear down to assst

[rigid fjord]

definitely decent for what's inside it

[cold skiff]

What’s inside? China plate?

[sinful cobalt]

All 3 cards I’ve done I’ve looked at their teardowns and went “Damn. Im an idiot.”

[cold skiff]

Noice

Fortunately I’ve never had to repaste a gpu

Replaced fans back in the day that’s it

[rigid fjord]

2x m.2 slots is really nice there

[sinful cobalt]

I’ve repasted a friend’s 3060ti, a year later which is fast forward to now, its overheating and throttling, my bet’s on the vram

[rigid fjord]

no temp sensor on the vram til 3080

[tidal geyser]

It works

[cold skiff]

Atleast on 30 series you know it’s over hearing. On 50 series they took away hotspot so you don’t know until it shuts off

[sinful cobalt]

Yeah tried finding that and it was nowhere to be found, I only repasted the die and not the vram back then

[cold skiff]

Always good practice to do both when tearing a card down as you don’t wanna do it again

[sinful cobalt]

I wanted to do VRAM then we ran out of paste

[rigid fjord]

it's a massive downside for a 3060ti/3070/3070ti as they can have the same vram issues the 3080/3080ti/3090/3090ti has/had

[rigid fjord]

pads/putty is what you want there for the vram

[sinful cobalt]

“the rest of the 30 series” ❌
state every single one ✅

[cold skiff]

Will be interesting to see how 50 series last considering no hotspot readings and VRMs that superheat a small pcb

[grizzled frost]

not all the cards have tiny PCBs, mostly just the FE models

[rigid fjord]

nah, 3050/3060 never got hot enough on the vram for it to be an issue

[sinful cobalt]

FE’s longevity is to be questioned but yeah

[cold skiff]

Are there any that ship full length actually? I know a lot of 50 series aren’t full length

They’re slightly cut down which I was lead to believe was helped by connector

[grizzled frost]

depends on what you define as "cut down"

some of the 50 series boards are long AF

[rigid fjord]

unless it's one that's going to be oc'd hard, i doubt it

[sinful cobalt]

stick some iron in your mouth and get a 5090D Galax Hall Of Fame XOC with that 2001w vbios

[grizzled frost]

johnny would absolutely use a 1080ti and refuse to upgrade

[rigid fjord]

5090 rog maxim, 800w vbios by default, i don't even want to guess what OC custom bios could be put on it

[sinful cobalt]

the matrix needs both 12vhpwr and mandatory BTF connector to do 800w

galax hof is dual 12vhpwr on the card

then recently the MSI one also has dual connectors and a 2500w vbios going to like 3.7 Ghz

[cold skiff]

I reckon someone could push 1500w through it

[abstract wigeon]

which tpu should i use when printing a tires for a model, bambu tpu is very expensive and im told not very grippy

[rigid fjord]

$4k for said gpu also

[plucky tulip]

yo dude

i found an hp victus laptop with a ryzen 9 8945 hs and a rtx 4060

[sinful cobalt]

some guy here bought the matrix for 7k SGD just to scalp it on carousel

(nobody is buying that piece of shit anyway)

[plucky tulip]

is it better than the i7 rtx5050

[sinful cobalt]

if you really want a xoc card just get the galax HOF 5090d lmfao, though its hard to obtain

[plucky tulip]

why is sgd market so broken a laptop could go over 3ksgd

[rigid fjord]

performance wise, better on the cpu for sure, gpu wise pretty much the same performance

[sinful cobalt]

its also why i hate laptops here

[plucky tulip]

is cheaper than legion

should i get it?

[rigid fjord]

the only downside with HP, hinge problems

[plucky tulip]

the screen is kinda bum

[cold skiff]

I see what you did there

[plucky tulip]

it could be fix right?

just replace the bolts

[formal elm]

bro might be the greatest technician

[rigid fjord]

essentially, yes, replacing the hinge every once in a while

[tidal geyser]

Not sure how one does it but the hinges were snapped off

[plucky tulip]

the only downside for me is the screen but i dont really care

[rigid fjord]

victus is the entry level gaming laptop on hp side, the omens is their better gaming laptop line, still has hinge problems

[rigid fjord]

metal fatigue in the mounting of the hinge maybe?

[tidal geyser]

Maybe

Holy shit

[rigid fjord]

i know mild steel is usually used for mounting the screen and hinge when it comes to laptops

[carmine yew]

[rigid fjord]

major bargain, and easy resale

[sinful cobalt]

ultra 7

[tidal geyser]

Well the hinges are still having a bad time

[rigid fjord]

ultra core 7, but also they're an idiot

[tidal geyser]

Micha

[carmine yew]

20 cores or 20 threads
Or does he know the difference

[winter lantern]

How do I dupe my money so I can get ts

[tidal geyser]

Makima you can't beat my deals

[rigid fjord]

70% of the cost of that is the gpu

[winter lantern]

Well what else are you supposed to do if its a 5090

[rigid fjord]

sell a neighbour

[viscid lodge]

Dk about knowing the difference but he said specifically 20 cores

[viscid lodge]

Fr tho

[tidal geyser]

Why tho

[carmine yew]

Cuz that knowledge matters

"I NEED MOAR CORES"
Isn't something most people say if they actually know what they're talking about

[sinful cobalt]

all this is to run like 20AIs in beamng

[tidal geyser]

It has not had a good time

[carmine yew]

you can probably find replacement hinges on ebay

[tidal geyser]

How do i fix this? I just got it used this morning. The guy sent me a video of it working but when i got home this happens

Short

It's dead probs psu

[flat cliff]

I do have a different discord that I'm in a couple servers and anyone important that I have on my friends list does know about but...I don't have access to the email or phone number with this account (long story let's just say when I was younger I was stupider with how I set some things up and google suspended the email for idk why and I don't remember what I used for the phone number service) but every time I've backed up the phone and restored to a new device (a new phone and the pixel tablet when I got that) so the system has the password or session token or whatever. I'm 100% sure unless a few years ago there was a transfer from iOS tool for setup with GrapheneOS that I've logged in at some point on this device specifically. (The new phone didn't work out ended up returning it and am still on my old phone).

TLDR, even if I did find out which service I did use for my phone number (as it was some app from the app store when I was back on iOS) that number is gone and I can't reset the password right?

What does arm offer

Can we do more than 288 cores with an existing arm processor

[rigid fjord]

i don't see why not tbh

[plain cypress]

Oops I meant are there any existing offerings

Like on the market

Does someone make an arm processor with 300 cores or something

[tidal geyser]

what is intel doing level 4 cache again

[grizzled frost]

intel can’t compete with the L3 cache, so they’re doing L4 cache again

No, it looks like they're doing big L3 cache

At least that's what most leakers are saying

[somber zealot]

yes

[brave brook]

probably heaps of GDDR6 which can't be used with anything else. Won't help with RTX5090 & 5080 shortages tho

[abstract wigeon]

thank you thermalright this cpu used to idle at 60c now it peaks at 55

[clear canyon]

Thats what some of my unis computers have, the newer ones run i7 13700's

[jovial swan]

would the Ryzen 5 9600X be an upgrade to this?
my idea was
RTX 4070 to a RTX 5070
ryzen 7 7700 to a ryzen 5 9600X or Ryzen 7 9700X (but then ditching the idea of the 5070)

NVIDIA to Bring Back the GeForce RTX 3060 in Q1 2026 to Tackle Current-Gen GPU & Memory Shortages

NVIDIA is reportedly recommencing production of its GeForce RTX 3060 GPUs due to DRAM shortages.

We lose

[plush hedge]

we lost a long time ago, TSMC has always been at 100% capacity for their latest nodes which the 50 series relies on.

[opaque stratus]

Which explains why they aren’t ramping up 5050 and 8gb 5060 production

[plush hedge]

but 30 series doesnt rely on those latest and greatest nodes, heck there is probably still some production time from Samsung and the other TSM fabs that do 8N and N7 nodes

[plush hedge]

yeah, because there are quite literally no wafers left for them to use

[brave brook]

this is more about GDDR6 and less about TSMC imo

[plush hedge]

they're both equally as bad issues

[latent gull]

I’m curious if they’ll do a higher VRAM production run with the lower spec memory

[brave brook]

i mean they could make 3060, 3070, 4060, 5050. and 3060 is the smallest VRAM capacity of these

[plush hedge]

they could, there are leftover nodes for them to use, and GDDR6 is still somewhat available.

[opaque stratus]

When the 3060 becomes the new GT730

[urban forge]

quick question i recently bought new gpu rtx 3060 gigabyte variant i i can hear grinding, rattling and scraping is that something i should worry about i can hear it even at idle

[waxen shell]

Are the AI companies coming for the SSDs too?

[rose sorrel]

I messed up my phone

[tidal geyser]

Coming for?

[rose sorrel]

SSD’s

[tidal geyser]

They have already taken over and it's a large part why I have given up on building more computers

[waxen shell]

Ok brotato

[abstract wigeon]

not in any way that justifies the price

and neither is 4070 to 5070

generation to generate uplift is too small to justify spending any money in both cases, unless your pc is struggling with the games you play, wait until next gen (if its any good), or upgrade to something better than those options now

[valid fiber]

they already did. the way i understood it they bought wavers that could have been used to make ram but also SSD's

[craggy cove]

you wont notice either upgrade

[tidal geyser]

i hate being unable to break phyics

[daring crystal]

The ROG XREAL R1 gaming glasses let you game anywhere on a 171-inch 240Hz virtual screen https://share.google/0itzelHIndxHureJA

Xreal just gets better and better every year. I'll prolly wait another 2 years before I get a pair

[tidal geyser]

30$ laptop ain't half bad

OLED looks so good

at 90hz too

[daring crystal]

It's always the hinge 💔

[tidal geyser]

the hinges did not fail on any of the sides

[daring crystal]

What 😳

[tidal geyser]

as they failed between themselves, aka somehow the metal gave up and snapped

[daring crystal]

The hinges cannot fail if you don't have hinges

[tidal geyser]

annoying thing is that there is no battery and its missing the bottom screws

but the most important parts are still there so meh

i am still amazed it just turned on and works

[pulsar root]

3060 is making a comeback 🤞

[tidal geyser]

playing portal 1 at native 2.8k on a igpu

managing 60-90+ fps

Only issue I think it still has after slapping in some missing stuff is that windows ain't too happy about it but meh already linuxing on other puters

[fickle valley]

😂

how did this happen

[glossy veldt]

in the state that is

you could probably get away by selling it for like $400 on argentina

[fickle valley]

ah wait acer

[hallow jasper]

thats amazing. how was it damaged to begin with?

tearing the metal hinge in that manner is quite unusual

[tidal geyser]

no clue but im pretty sure there might have been weed involved

[quasi moat]

New tech new tech

Goop goop

[random gyro]

should i let a guy from this discord build my gamng pc

[plush pine]

850w PSU is fine for a 5080 right?

[quasi moat]

Better yet. Reddit

[quasi moat]

Let a redditor take the wheel baby

[quasi moat]

That sounds wrong to me

I have a 5090 with a 1200 watt

[tidal geyser]

yes

[tidal geyser]

5090 uses a whole hell of a lot more max power

[plush pine]

1- 1

Okee

[tidal geyser]

make a pcpartpicker list of all the parts

[plush pine]

Nice

[tidal geyser]

then add 100-150 of whatever pcpartpicker says

[plush pine]

Says 674 which would indeed be fine if it turned out to be 774-824

Thank you!

[tidal geyser]

yup

amd+nvidia is pretty power efficient

[tribal estuary]

My school just upgraded their PCs to I5 14500 32 GB ddr5 mini PCs 😁

Should I offer to "help set them up"

I'm not on the tech offender registry yet

[craggy cove]

steal shit and flip it on ebay

genius?

[tribal estuary]

That was the plan

They run in single channel though 😂

[craggy cove]

so steal 2

[tribal estuary]

They have at least 30 of them so...

Idk how our school can afford ts, pretty big district but I didn't think big enough to drop upwards of $60k on pcs

[tidal geyser]

why do i need to say, pleas do not steal school equipment.

[tribal estuary]

We were joking

[shy schooner]

is crucial e100 1tb usable or nah

[fickle ivy]

14v???

[shy schooner]

why tf even ssd's are so expensive

[tidal geyser]

those mini computers are like 400$ or so

[tidal geyser]

i hate samsung

[tidal geyser]

ai datacenters need fast storage

[tribal estuary]

Hell nah, the ram inside is worth $250 alone or so

[shy schooner]

tell them i need it more

[fickle ivy]

I love how you could tell instantly

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/stblackst-tf2-gif-15783098

[fickle ivy]

How common is 14v DC, what's the chance I'll have to get a power supply, and is it worth it (1080p 75hz 27" monitor)

[hallow jasper]

as a basic upgrade, sure

[tidal geyser]

think you can find one on ali for like 20$

[fickle ivy]

E100?

[hallow jasper]

Yes https://www.techpowerup.com/ssd-specs/crucial-e100-1-tb.d2307

[shy schooner]

cause my friend is asking for a cheaper 1tb ssd than a lexar 620

[fickle ivy]

E-100

[shy schooner]

hes asking me now if he should get lexar nm620 512gb now

[tidal geyser]

"TLC" at least that is nice

[fickle ivy]

$20 is alot, I already need to buy a psu for $50

[tidal geyser]

do not

[hallow jasper]

if the question is between 512GB and 1TB, get 1TB every time

[tidal geyser]

ofc

[hallow jasper]

oh, replied to wrong person

but yes

[tidal geyser]

the instant you go NVME you gain so many features that help with performance

and ofc pcie speeds

[fickle ivy]

"gaming monitor" btw

[tidal geyser]

well many, mostly HMB

[sleek ibex]

VGA

[hallow jasper]

"from 2011"

[tidal geyser]

looks like a color display unit to me

[left trellis]

for 250 but im not really feeling it

thoughts?

full pc no gpu or ssd

[fickle ivy]

The bezels are smaller than my current monitor (isn't that hard)

[tidal geyser]

wow it has been abused

i am 40% sure its broken

[hallow jasper]

looks like some prime e-waste

[fickle ivy]

Not hard to beat my current monitor lmao

[hallow jasper]

yikes

[tidal geyser]

and im sitting here with a 30$ OLED laptop

[shy schooner]

alr so my friend also has an external 1tb drive, can he get away with a 512gb nvme or no

[fickle ivy]

It's 1440p 60hz 27" it's pretty good

[tidal geyser]

why not just get the bigger ssd

[fickle ivy]

It was a good $750 on release, just old

[tidal geyser]

what gpu do you have

[fickle ivy]

Nothing rn

I3 7100U with IGPU

Running it at 720p

[hallow jasper]

ehh stretching the meaning of the word a bit

[fickle ivy]

Doesn't look too bad actually because it's half of its native reso

[fickle ivy]

It's just a slight scratch

[hallow jasper]

suggestions were already said above

[shy schooner]

its expensive af for him

[tidal geyser]

meh in that case just go for the smaller ssd if it is a true difference in price

[fickle ivy]

It's better than my laptop lmao

[fast girder]

I don't assume this is worth anything?

[tidal geyser]

Well that is better than my laptop kinda

2gb sodimms and ddr3 server ram is extremely valuable according to my local fb marketplace

[tidal geyser]

the thing you need to remember is listed vs sold

[steel umbra]

it is worth a bit

[shy schooner]

can anyone recommend a gpu for 291 estimated wattage on pcpartpicker

a cheap one prefferably

[ivory mountain]

ewww who wants 4 dimms

[tribal estuary]

Yeah THAT'S the problem

[tidal geyser]

what psu

[shy schooner]

i mean recommend a psu my bad

[wheat torrent]

is it any good?

[ivory olive]

Is a 4060ti 16gb and an ahh 650w PSU good for 200?

[tidal geyser]

send pcpartpicker list

[tidal geyser]

what psu

[ivory olive]

A bad one

[tidal geyser]

what psu

[ivory olive]

High power 650w

[tidal geyser]

650w is not really high power

[ivory olive]

That's the brand. Highpower

[tidal geyser]

i know brand

[shy schooner]

for a friend (im selling my ram to him dw)

[tidal geyser]

its inter-tech ye numpty

hipower is the line of PSUs

[ivory olive]

It should power a 4060ti OK right.

Anyway I think I'm getting it

[shadow condor]

My case fans don’t spin and I’m pretty sure they’re plugged into my controller these 2 cables come from the controller where do I plug them in

[ivory olive]

16gb vram gpu with vram shortage coming soon for 200.

[tidal geyser]

no

i would not trust it, you can use it but only at your own risk

[ivory olive]

OK.

[tidal geyser]

the bottom one is argb the top one is 4 pin fan

[ivory olive]

Into the trash it goes.

4060ti 16gb for 200 tho

[shadow condor]

Do I plug it into chassis fan ? The 4 pin ?

[tidal geyser]

yes

[shy schooner]

can anyone recommend a psu its 291 estimated wattage

[ionic peak]

Good but not the best ( 40 euros for me)

[shadow condor]

Okay did this case fans still don’t spin

[tidal geyser]

ah

take a picture of your controller

[shadow condor]

Okay give me a sec lol

[shadow condor]

😂 thanks man ur amazing um could u send a link or some of the cable i need ?

[hallow jasper]

Its SATA power. Its the power cable for whatever its attached to (we can't see). Just plug into any open SATA power connector on the PSU.

[left trellis]

will i be safe,,,

can I slip it in

[hallow jasper]

hey now

[tidal geyser]

your psu should have one

[shadow condor]

It Didn’t but I think I can find one I must’ve miss placed it

[hallow jasper]

if its a modular PSU, you may not have plugged them in

[shadow condor]

Ya I found it lol 😂

[tidal geyser]

yup

[shadow condor]

And this works for hdds too right ? And ssds ?

[shadow condor]

10/10 review you guys are great

[hallow jasper]

yes

[shadow condor]

Thanks again lol!!

[spark lichen]

whats the difference between like OLED, QDOLED, WOLED, UHD, QHD and other terms in monitors? anyone got like an article i can give a read that has a rundown on all the monitor terms and comparisons?

[tidal geyser]

panel type : OLED, QDOLED, WOLED
resolution: UHD, QHD

[hallow jasper]

https://youtu.be/1gcLrfx5XMs?si=IWuPlCQB-npIt-NO

forget that its about TV's, its all the same now.

[spark lichen]

tyty

[hallow jasper]

This video is quite good for beginners

[spark lichen]

what resolution type is best for gaming in your opinion?

ill watch the video above for pannel types

[hallow jasper]

Other than resolutions, UHD, QHD, etc.. all TV's (worth discussing) are 4K, or UHD

[tidal geyser]

technically lower more fps

but the min i have now a days is 1440p

i even have a 15.6 inch 4k laptop that has a 7th gen i7 aka 2 cores

[hallow jasper]

In my opinion? The highest commonly available (so something like 5120x2160 (screw you 57" Odyssey).

There is no best for everyone, just what you can afford (in both cost of display and horsepower of GPU to run it)

[tidal geyser]

i just buy cheap stuff

[spark lichen]

is this good? its got a bunch of money off atm

[hallow jasper]

If you're just a PC gamer, you're buying 1440p/QHD for lower end/midrange and 4K/UHD for high end gaming.

[tidal geyser]

got my hands on a 35" 3440:1440 ultrawide monitor for a super low price

[median carbon]

I need help

[tidal geyser]

hello help

i cant help without any info

[spark lichen]

im getting a 5080, 9800x 3d rig so id want more high end

[median carbon]

idk where I to plug in my psu cords

[hallow jasper]

So you have a bunch of parts and haven't done any research and want someone to walk you through each step?

[median carbon]

kinda

[tidal geyser]

what phone do you have

[shy schooner]

is a be quiet! system power 11 good

[hallow jasper]

Did you not figure this out from the couple of "how to build a PC" videos you watched beforehand?

[median carbon]

Its a webcam

no

[hallow jasper]

Its "fine". C tier rated. Probably something better available in your budget.

[tidal geyser]

c tier

[spark lichen]

do i cop this one whilst its on sale? or do yall think i wont make use of it and should get a cheaper one?

[shadow condor]

I have a problem turns on fans spit for a bit then lights up then they just shut off no fans spin not cpu and pc doesn’t turn on 💀

[grizzled frost]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KyoXLbfpZfg&t=491s

[tidal geyser]

das called a short

[hallow jasper]

@median carbon you gotta understand, not many people are going to want to jump into that blind via a text chat if the person asking hasn't at least tried to help themselves get educated with some videos beforehand. Its asking a lot.

[shadow condor]

Ya but it only happend after I plugged in the controller 😞 what did I do wrong

[median carbon]

I have

[tidal geyser]

something is plugged into somewhere its not meant to

[grizzled frost]

evidently not, given where to plug in PSU cables is one of the fundamentals covered in literally every single semi-decent pc build guide

[median carbon]

I built the whole front and ive been watching videos for about 2 months now

[shy schooner]

i need something for like 50 dollars

for 300 w

[grizzled frost]

or not plugged in and a male cable is shorting on something

[tidal geyser]

its fine then

[shadow condor]

The only
Thing new I plugged in was the sata cable before this everything worked besides the case fans

[tidal geyser]

there are so many people here

[shadow condor]

😂

[tidal geyser]

we really do need to use https://discord.com/channels/375436620578684930/1027757333117415424 more

can you make a post and take a lot more pics light

[median carbon]

Msi Mag a550bn

[tidal geyser]

also c tier

[median carbon]

It's around $54

[tidal geyser]

mate you cant even build your own pc

[shy schooner]

lol

[grizzled frost]

If you're in here asking for basic PC advice, you probably shouldn't be simultaneously trying to give advice

[hidden hill]

just discovered what dsr is and im trying to figure out if dldsr is a different thing or not

[craggy cove]

my system power 10 is so garbage man

[tidal geyser]

test em out

[grizzled frost]

Down-Stage Right?

[shadow condor]

So I unplugged the sata cable everything by works fine now besides pc fans 💀 sooo it’s the cable

thanks again

[hidden hill]

i enabled it in nvidia control panel and set my game to 4x native and it looks amazing, and it wasnt costly in performance

how do i know if im using dsr or dldsr

isnt the dldsr the ai powered one? idk if thats what im using or not lol

[grizzled frost]

Likely a fan cable shorting on the chassis or some other metal component

[tidal geyser]

yes

[shadow condor]

Ahh okay ty

[grizzled frost]

trace every fan connector and make sure it's either plugged in, or covered

[hidden hill]

the quality is pretty crazy, i was expecting my pc to implode from the performance tax though

[shadow condor]

Pa

[hidden hill]

what even is 5120x2880? never seen that ratio before

[grizzled frost]

16:9

5k

[hidden hill]

oh 5k i see

when using dsr though, do i want to be running dlss or dlaa?

[shy schooner]

is this a good pc for a friend who had the shittiest pc ever and it broke? (im selling the ram to them for cheaper and were getting the gpu used)

[ivory mountain]

rx 6600 my beloved

[shadow condor]

I think it’s a faulty sata cable I smelt something hot and my cable is hot af smelled like smoke

[grizzled frost]

was it a cable that was included with the power supply?

[shadow condor]

No

[tidal geyser]

OMG

[hidden hill]

ahhh i understand the difference now, didnt see the dl versions available though

[tidal geyser]

ANOTHER PERSON

[ivory mountain]

LMAO

[tidal geyser]

someone else JUST killed their ssd a few weeks ago from using a random power cable

[grizzled frost]

So one end of the cable plugs into the hub, does the other end plug into a sata cable from a psu cable?

[shadow condor]

I think. I unplugged it into hopefully

[tidal geyser]

you smelt bad smells

[shadow condor]

Ya hub cable sata white plugged into a sata cable that’s black going into psu

[median carbon]

Do I wait until I get the ram?

[ivory mountain]

hell yeah another good feedback

[hidden hill]

anyone know what the best ammount of DSR-Smoothness is?

its default setting is 33%

[shadow condor]

So it’s. Faulty cable right ?

[ivory mountain]

"yo do i wait to turn on my pc before or after i get one of the required parts"

[grizzled frost]

either a faulty cable or something on the hub itself is shorting, or both

[tidal geyser]

faulty user

[shadow condor]

Oh 😞

[median carbon]

Linus would prob call me a imbicile

[tidal geyser]

random cable should not go into random psu

[shadow condor]

Ohhhh …. Well

[grizzled frost]

imbecile*

[shadow condor]

Umm thank you

[ivory mountain]

linus torvalds probably would

[tidal geyser]

lets hope the hub somehow saved itself

[shadow condor]

How would I know if it did

[tidal geyser]

well first find the right cable for your psu

[shadow condor]

Do I search for the cable online. ?

[tidal geyser]

where did you get the PSU from

[shadow condor]

Amazon but that cable Ik where it’s at I’m pretty sure

Plugged into my old pc still

[tidal geyser]

it should have come in a nice little bag

[cerulean loom]

Wait yall so I got a asrock b560m-c and a 10th gen i3 and I’ve heard that I can’t use the top m.2 slot and that I can but not at full speed, I’m not to sure if I can or can’t

[shadow condor]

Ya I think it’s cooked 😞

[tidal geyser]

JEBS

[ivory mountain]

😭

[shadow condor]

Ugh 😞

Never have I ever heard 😂 you can’t use data cables for different psus

[tidal geyser]

i would try as hard as i can to get on a 12100f instead

[ivory mountain]

just buy 9950x3d

[tidal geyser]

power cable but yup, cant mix and match

[shadow condor]

Oh ya mb but damn wow

[shadow condor]

Can I buy a new controller hub cable ? And replace the old one of the burnt one

[cerulean loom]

Well as of now I only plan on using this for a couple more months and then I’m gonna go amd cpu wise, but I really do not feel like putting windows on my new ssd seems like to much work for me to want to do rn 😭

[tidal geyser]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0NBILspM4c4

[tidal geyser]

no but i bet you could just ask whoever made your case and they probs will just send a replacement

[shadow condor]

Rlly 😭 ? I can’t just buy a new cable for that one spot 🤦🏽‍♂️

[tidal geyser]

probs something on ali perchance

but i would just ask the case maker for one

[shadow condor]

For a new case ?

So ask for a new case ?

[spark lichen]

is this a goated deal? from what i understand this is pretty much what i should be looking for

or would it be better to get a lower refresh rate 4k one?

[tidal geyser]

controller or cable

[grizzled frost]

personal preference

depends on what you do with your monitor

[shadow condor]

Okay thank you 😞

[tidal geyser]

yes just keep in mind qd oled can have a pretty heavy purple tint with direct sunlight

[tidal geyser]

most case makers should just give it to ya

[grizzled frost]

you mean we don't all live in dark and dingy dungeons without natural light?

[spark lichen]

i mainly online game, sometimes play immersive single player titles but not often

[spark lichen]

i see, so best keep the curtains closed when playing

[tidal geyser]

eh iv lived with it

[shadow condor]

Thanks man 😞

[tidal geyser]

for now just plug the fans into the motherboard or at least the ones you can

[spark lichen]

is it like, terrible to look at, or just mildly annoying

[grizzled frost]

depends

[tidal geyser]

for me idc

[spark lichen]

if its a big problem i could rotate my room so the desk is facing away from the window

[tidal geyser]

yeh

[spark lichen]

ill prob get that one then, 38% off just seems too good. esp for a white monitor that goes with my PC

[left trellis]

yo multiple companies can make the reference model of a card right

[hard cedar]

Yall think its too much

[spark lichen]

maybe at a later date ill pick up a 4k one, but for now this deal is too good

[tidal geyser]

no

PNY makes nvidia founder cards while sapphire makes amds reference cards

[shadow condor]

Sorry to ask but what do I ask them to send me 💀 they’re tryna send this to me

[tidal geyser]

fan controller and cable

[shadow condor]

Fan controller ? And cable ? Thought I was just only tryna replace this

[spark path]

yo did oled monitors drop in price or am I trippin

[tidal geyser]

semi high chance it could have killed the fan controller but can ask for just cable

[tidal geyser]

[spark path]

no yes and yes doesn't make sense

People used to say 1TB SSD costs 30-40 dollars

All I'm seeing on Amazon is 100-150

[tidal geyser]

its why i stopped making desktops

[spark lichen]

are "reverse" fans, just exhaust fans?

[tidal geyser]

reverse fans make air go the other way of this

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/634438385313775644/1073432582185816124/airflow3.gif

[spark lichen]

ah so reverse is an intake fan that can hide the plastic framing at the back

i see

[clear canyon]

Have the fan not move but have the black square spin instead

[spark lichen]

would i put intake fans on the AIO and the bottom of the case, then have exhaust fans on the rear and side? so long as i have more intakes than exhausts?

[hidden hill]

hmm, my peak brightness seems to have went down somehow and im not sure why, the color profile im using had it at 1000. not sure what could have changed it

How times have changed.
People used to say RAM is cheap and come bundled for free when buying CPUs and motherboards.

Now you get a free CPU and motherboard bundled when buying RAM.

[grizzled frost]

RAM was never cheap but it was quite fairly priced, that is no longer

[hidden hill]

did enabling dsr cause this?

[storm linden]

[tidal geyser]

[storm linden]

is that possible?

[winter lantern]

Actually the rtx 6000 blackwell

[tidal geyser]

yes lga 1700 can use ddr4

[winter lantern]

Lga 1700 supports ddr4

[storm linden]

oohhh i didnt know

[tidal geyser]

ofc needs a ddr4 board then

[storm linden]

[storm linden]

sooon

[spark lichen]

what are some good but cheap non rgb fans to go beneath the hyte y70? im lookin at the thermalright ones but they are all RGB and the non rgb ones arent chainable and cost more for some reason

[clear canyon]

You need a board that supports ddr4 tho

[worthy sage]

malware

8min

[grizzled frost]

i was gonna say that, but wasn't quite sure and didn't want to be alarmist

[worthy sage]

how do i get rid of it

[tidal geyser]

reinstall windows

[grizzled frost]

only more or less guaranteed option is a hard reset of the OS by reinstalling windows completely

[tidal geyser]

if your anti virus turned itself off without you doing it you have malware

[grizzled frost]

anything less and you take the risk of not getting rid of the malware

[tidal geyser]

iroh you know those mr.beast scams that keep popping up

the claim crypto thing

[grizzled frost]

haven't seen em, i don't really see ads anymore

[tidal geyser]

not ads hacked accounts on discord

[grizzled frost]

oh, haven't seen that either

i don't doubt it though, i think i heard about that scam being on youtube a while back

[tidal geyser]

anyhow most of the hacked accounts are due to the person installing malware but never wiping their pc

that is not good enough

[winter lantern]

Bros just yapping

🥀

[tidal geyser]

no shit

he is there just to sell product

I SAW A PANTHER

[wheat torrent]

anything interesting?

[spark lichen]

this is more than enough for 10 fans and an aio pump right?

[winter lantern]

Jim got way more energy

[latent gull]

Yeah the panther didn’t really make sense

[tidal geyser]

it just started

[wheat torrent]

enough said 🖐️

[tidal geyser]

wait doesn't the AIO come with its own fan stuff

[latent gull]

“Leadership products” kek

[spark lichen]

wdym

[tidal geyser]

also a lot of modern fans are daisy chainable

[latent gull]

OH pantherlake

[spark lichen]

yeah a friend convinced me to get the lian li fans, 3 sets of daisychain ones (one of them are a cheap ass corsair set bc they wont be visible) and a single one

i also think the AIO comes with a controller? but idk how many i can connect to that thing

[tidal geyser]

as always check the manual

[spark lichen]

yurt

if not i can just purchase a lian li one seperately, they sell the standalone im p sure

[tidal geyser]

HE IS HOLDINBG IT

he is holding the panther

YUSS

[winter lantern]

Why are they talking about products and not ai

[latent gull]

B390👀

[tidal geyser]

HOLY JEUS

[pulsar root]

Does anyone else get like a lot of eye strain when looking at the computer for too long? Any solutions

[tidal geyser]

stop looking at it

there is a 20 20 20 rule, every 20 minutes look at something at least 20 meters away for 20 seconds

[latent gull]

Laptop gpu :(

[tidal geyser]

i would imagine it should be around 3060m performance

[latent gull]

Looks like they’re relying super heavily on both Upscaling and 4x frame gen >:(

[steel umbra]

simmy don forget it 1st party

gotta divide the 77% by two

[latent gull]

Get rid of it altogether cause of the AI junk

[tidal geyser]

still 140v beats out 890m and such

[spark lichen]

whats the deal with the wireless lian li fans? is it just a gimmick or are they actually more convenient than the standard ones?

[tidal geyser]

and this is C class igpu

[tidal geyser]

gimmick

[spark lichen]

i see

[steel umbra]

i have doubt about it beating 3060m in most things

[winter lantern]

Ai 10 times in 1 minute

[steel umbra]

yes it's decently impressive especially with the efficiency but not something i would go breaking neighbour's roof over

we don' know the pricing yet at retail
