and even if you are bottlenecked, its likely that neither of those options would fix that

[rose stream]

Hell, a 12400f can even take a 3090 with the overhead.

[tropic hinge]

in arc raiders my cpu is always at a 100

[tidal geyser]

what game

[hallow jasper]

You're not creating enough of a bottleneck in most games to bother sidegrading CPU's.

[tidal geyser]

what is the gpu at

[tropic hinge]

80-90 and i get stutters

[tidal geyser]

yea i would say go for a 14700k at best or a minimum of a 14600k

[spark path]

I thought I would get more fps

[tropic hinge]

my vrms cant handle that

[tidal geyser]

that is true too

[rose stream]

Looks like you're framerate locked.

[tidal geyser]

its what i hate about ultra cheap motherboards

[tropic hinge]

thats whats stopping me how bad is it if my cpu thermal throttles due to vrms

[rose stream]

Either that or vsync is on.

[tidal geyser]

he has a 144hz monitor i do believe

[spark path]

I aint even hitting it

[ocean axle]

IMO, never recommend raptorlake

[hallow jasper]

then you've got other problems. RAM at stock speeds? 3070Ti here is about 9060xt performance levels. https://youtu.be/Y-WNP-pamto

[tidal geyser]

what hz your monitor

[rose stream]

Well then I guess a new board is what's required instead.

[tropic hinge]

ram is at 3200

[rose stream]

Keep what you have because those will work fine.

[hallow jasper]

what would you expect us to do with just that screenshot

[spark path]

180

[tidal geyser]

seen quite a few been having a decent time with it just force the voltages under 1.4 and you are fine for the most part unless it is already broke ofc

[hallow jasper]

don't buy another old CPU to replace your existing old CPU. Refresh your system if you have to

[ivory mountain]

type of board ibuypower would put in a 5000 dollar prebuilt

[tropic hinge]

could using fsr and other stuff like it ?

[scarlet echo]

Jesus guys. Why does the amd cleanup utility lock you into safe mode.
I need the internet to login 😂

[untold crow]

Guys

[plain cypress]

What

[spark path]

am playing warframe I got rx 9070 xt, ryzen 7 7700, 2x16GB ddr5-6000 cl 30

[hallow jasper]

safe mode with networking next time

[tropic hinge]

does using fsr and such stuff cause higher cpu usage ?

[tidal geyser]

you should have been in safe mode to remove old drivers

[tropic hinge]

i even play at 2k

[viral kayak]

how does one update a bios without a usb. im on a msi b760 gaming plus wifi board

[tidal geyser]

also use DDU

[ocean axle]

i still wouldn't recommend raptor

[scarlet echo]

It doesnt give you a choice lmao

[tidal geyser]

spend 5$

[ocean axle]

ive seen many "fixed" ones still die

[rose stream]

That game is which one again?

[viral kayak]

on what

[hallow jasper]

No, but it would potentially put less load on the GPU

[untold crow]

There is no problem if I used 2 different types of 2tb

[tidal geyser]

dam well kinda f-ed for choices tho

[plain cypress]

External ssd

SD card?

[tidal geyser]

either go am5 and pay way too much for ram or move over to am4 being a pretty dead platform at this point

[tropic hinge]

how can i trouble shoot this my ram is at 3200

[pure basalt]

I bought a new gpu why my fps still so low

[tropic hinge]

i dont have the money i just have money for a cpu

[ocean axle]

yup, it kinda sucks

[tidal geyser]

cpu

[wheat torrent]

What game

[hallow jasper]

oh boy, tc1 hours are upon us.

[tidal geyser]

tell that to the ai datacenters

[untold crow]

?

[pure basalt]

Cod

[tidal geyser]

soon i get to play around with a new monitor

[tidal geyser]

what cpu

[spark path]

wym?

[ivory mountain]

if someone wants rgb-ifyed ddr4 mfs are selling it for 200 now u might as well just spend the extra 100 on ddr5 atp 😭

[wheat torrent]

Which cod, what CPU what gpu

[tidal geyser]

im gonna become so rich

[pure basalt]

I bought a 5070 ti and have a ryzen 5 1700

[ivory mountain]

salutations unc

[tidal geyser]

are you a troll?

[wheat torrent]

Holy moly

[pure basalt]

And 8gb ddr4 2800mhz

I bought it off Amazon then just upgraded gpu

[tidal geyser]

[ivory mountain]

my sister was gonna make a pc and shes lucky asf that i have an extra kit of this xpg gammix d10 ddr4 😭

[tidal geyser]

fyi that cpu does not even support windows 11

officially

[wheat torrent]

10 year old cpu

[rose stream]

Which game is it?

[pure basalt]

I don’t have 11

[ivory mountain]

what are u doing dude you shouldve gotten an amd phenom

[spark path]

warframe it's called warframe

I literaly wrote am playing warframe

[pure basalt]

Oh how much is it

[wheat torrent]

You need a better CPU

[ivory mountain]

idek

[tidal geyser]

we had some extra teacher one day in class and he asked me for some parts rec for may when his son's birthday was gonna happen and i had a look and my god no way to make a pc close to his budget

[pure basalt]

No I don’t my gpu is good but my games still laggy and low fps I read about drivers is it that?

[tidal geyser]

you have to be trolling

[wheat torrent]

You need a better CPU

[tidal geyser]

you're using a cpu from 2017

[ivory mountain]

i hate telling people their budget isnt enough i feel like an asshole

[tidal geyser]

i just start building budget computers :3

[pure basalt]

I’m not I know what I’m talk about I put the gpu in myself and I don’t want to spend money on unecessary parts

[wheat torrent]

CPU is a necessary part

[tidal geyser]

get at least another stick of ram and a r5 5600x or r7 5800x

[rose stream]

I didn't see it.

[wheat torrent]

Your gpu cannot do shit with that CPU

[tidal geyser]

make sure to update the bios before swapping cpus

[pure basalt]

I already bought ddr5 ram off Facebook from a guy for decent price considering my price increase

So maybe after that I’ll be good

[tidal geyser]

am5 then

[wheat torrent]

What you're going to do with ddr5

[pure basalt]

No it’s DDR5

[tidal geyser]

how much money are you gonna spend on am5?

[wheat torrent]

You need a CPU and a mobo

[spark path]

what's your system specs

[ivory mountain]

your cpu doesnt support ddr5

[rose stream]

Your gpu is way too powerful for cpu... In case it wasn't stated enough. Lol.

[pure basalt]

But that’s what I want a more powerful gpu

[wheat torrent]

Ok you got a powerful GPU now what?

[pure basalt]

How ram is ram?

[wheat torrent]

Your GPU cannot put any work because your cpu is highly limiting it

[tropic hinge]

look this is in just the menu

[rose stream]

Well now your cpu can't handle it.

[viral kayak]

I just did it without a usb or external ssd

I managed to figure it out :)

[pure basalt]

How though? There different things

[somber zealot]

how much ingame

[rose stream]

So you're not going to get the performance you want. Worse yet, you'll actually give a REAL bottleneck to your gpu because your cpu will not be able to keep up.

[tropic hinge]

going in rn

[wheat torrent]

Games do not run off GPU only they need both

[spark path]

Ok shits been crashing way too often after I updated my bios and used ddu to delete drivers then installed them manually

[pure basalt]

Look I don’t wanna be fed misinformation I just wanna know what drivers to install for my ram and gpu

[rose stream]

And that's before throwing in the driver overhead, which while minimal now is still enough to be felt on way older hardware.

[ivory mountain]

ur not being fed misinformation

[wheat torrent]

BAN this troll

[rose stream]

If you think anything we just said is misinformation, then you've already been misinformed way before coming here on what you think you know.

ye

[hallow jasper]

that appears as though you're using 15GB of it

[tropic hinge]

lemme turn some stuff off

[hallow jasper]

probably not doing you any favors

[viral kayak]

may i ask what aida64 extreme is?

[tidal geyser]

on linux i managed 8GB

[hallow jasper]

open your system tray and close ANYTHING that is non-essential

[ivory mountain]

stop your linux propaganda buddy

[tidal geyser]

he needs to close A LOT of stuff

[tidal geyser]

i played portal 1 on a n4000 at about 40-50 fps and only using around 2GiB

[hallow jasper]

while you're at it, PSA to everyone, clean your startup apps

[ivory mountain]

(on linux on cities skylines 2 i went from 35GB ram usage to 25GB on the same map due to no OS bloat)

did you just jump like over double FPS

no i just took the first picture at the very begining

i was just spawning

At least the lows look stable.

[tidal geyser]

In other news

[ivory mountain]

thanks for buying me a monitor

[tropic hinge]

it was always around a hundred which is fine but whenever i alt tab to anything else it gets laggy and my amd overlay has been killing me

[pure basalt]

I know alot

[tidal geyser]

my friend had the same issue, wanna know why

[pure basalt]

If I didn’t I wouldn’t be able to put my own gpu in and download my bios

[rose stream]

I mean... That sounds like built-in frame limiting and therefore it's doing it's job.

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/sheep-gif-4520105

[tropic hinge]

not the game my pc gets laggy like right now

like broswers discord desktop etc

I was trolling sorry thought it would be funny to be annoying haha

[tropic hinge]

if my mobo can handle my cpu being at 60 can it handle a cpu that runs around 80-85 ?

watts

[ivory mountain]

trolling on a tuesday evening at 1pm 😭

[rose stream]

Well not in front of the others who actually need help though, dude.

[pure basalt]

Tuesday 6pm for me

[tropic hinge]

or am i asking too much from it ?

[pure basalt]

My bad dawg

[tidal geyser]

its so big

[tidal geyser]

wut

[tropic hinge]

watts i mean

[pure basalt]

Genuine question though, I don’t have access to wifi and hotspotting my pc is awful is it worth getting one of those 5G routers that run of mobile data?

[rose stream]

I hate how out of context this sounds, just because it's so distracting. Lmao.

[tidal geyser]

its a PG35VQ

[ivory mountain]

oh ur most likely british that explains a shit ton

[pure basalt]

Or has anyone had experience with one

[tidal geyser]

no wait what the box says pg35v

[pure basalt]

Polish actually

[tidal geyser]

o wait its what i said

[ivory mountain]

oh that explains even more

[hallow jasper]

yes, it says as much on the box

[hallow jasper]

the Q is likely a regional modifier

[tidal geyser]

i need more sleep anyhow leme throw off all the monitors from my desk

[rose stream]

I'd rather say just get one of those USB dongle modems if you can find one, though it might work in most cases with a hotspot?
Saying this from experience with mine, though of course where I live our network sucks in a really dumb way.

[tidal geyser]

bye bye oled monitor

[tropic hinge]

so should i do a clean windows reinstall or something if its not the cpu ?

[pure basalt]

I had a look but it would just work the same as with the wifi 6 antena i have with my pc now, the only option is that till i have available broadband but not sure if its worth the £150+ if it wont work any better

[rose stream]

The download basically being fine, but the upload is dial-up levels of molasses slow.

[hallow jasper]

DisplayHDR1000 available. Prepare your retinas

[spark path]

why is it checking wallpaper fps, I want it to track my game 😭😭😭

[rose stream]

Damn, that's my sitch and considering something other than powerline adapters to my box for ethernet.

[hallow jasper]

Ah yes, the classic new person running wallpaper engine and complaining that their PC isn't working right

garbage software causes so many problems

[wheat torrent]

Lnfao

[spark path]

no am complaining that hwinfo is not tracking my game FPS and instead focusing on wallpaper engine

[wheat torrent]

Minor spelling misrake.

[rose stream]

I was considering coaxial adapters actually, or even fiber-optic adapters. Problem is the length and the fact it migh just be overkill.

[pure basalt]

Yeah I have no wifi available in this area yet providers are working on it so will probably be few months till I can get decent speeds again, hotspot will have to do for now I guess

[rose stream]

... And the fact my parents are still on aDSL because of budget concerns.

[rose stream]

I guess. Hopefully it's better there for that service than here.

[pure basalt]

I have fibre optic ready just area isn’t supported as it’s a new build area sucks but is what it is, they have confirmed speeds of up too 3000mbps will be available when there done which is nice but bit overkill for me

[rose stream]

Hey, we even had fiber optics reach our area too earlier last year, thanks in part to the provider teaming up with power company.

It's even cheaper than what we're currently on, which is U-Verse.

[high halo]

Whats the usual price for used stick of 8gb ddr4 ram?

[rose stream]

The catch? My fam has... Other priorities of expense to worry about first.

One of them is the second bathroom, or lack of thereof still because we were renovating it... And still have to be finished.

[hallow jasper]

what speed

[pure basalt]

How much is a 1Gb speed go for in your area?

[hallow jasper]

well, until you decide, here you go. cheapest (slowest) at the top and just scroll down. https://pcpartpicker.com/products/memory/#ff=ddr4&b=ddr4&Z=8192001&sort=price&page=1

[rose stream]

At least $99 or so, and that's just the mid-tier plan for 1 gbps.

The higher tier is for 2 gbps.

[pure basalt]

Damn that’s rough

[high halo]

2400mhz I have one laying around and want to see how much profit I can make off of it

[rose stream]

And not that much more.

[pure basalt]

Highest tier is 3gbps here and goes for £79 which is roughly the same for your 1gbps

[hallow jasper]

not enough to trouble yourself for a single dimm

[spark path]

nah bruh look at the different between hwinfo reading and the game readings, this doesn't make any fucking sense, how are the fps numbers different

[high halo]

Ah, too bad

[pure basalt]

The other area has speeds of 5gbps which I deem unecessary for a regular household

[hallow jasper]

https://tenor.com/view/not-this-again-head-banging-on-keyboard-linus-tech-tips-ltt-lmg-gif-25040506

[rose stream]

Rough? We pay for aDSL from AT&T, with a phone line we don't even use anymore because they only package it that way, and we pay close to $120 or more for only 45 mbps.

[ivory mountain]

the game fps counter updates faster most likely, change the update interval in hwinfo to 250-300ms

[pure basalt]

That’s even more rough

[rose stream]

And that's high mid-tier.

[pure basalt]

Happy our prices here aren’t that astronomical

[ivory mountain]

i thought our internet options were bad here sheesh

[tidal geyser]

big

[spark path]

where do I find that? this?

[ivory mountain]

yes

[tidal geyser]

i thought the display might have had major issues but its the local dimming

[spark path]

well I uncapped the fps in the game and it makes less sense now

[rose stream]

This is what happens when you live the agricultural founding districts of a city with mostly farmland all around, while being nearly 15 miles out from the main town in the said city.

The infrastructure here gets low maintenance, just because of how spread out and smaller the neighborhoods are out here.

[ivory mountain]

holy can u just play the damn game youve been stressing over ts for 3 days now

😭

[spark path]

I just found out something crazy, when I put the game in fullscreen not borderless the readings become different

crazy right?

[rose stream]

What's funny is where at the front of the line for the phone lines and yet 55 is the best we can even be offered... And it's not even worth it for the cost, especially because you have to bundle in the landline regardless.

[spark path]

the readings make sense now after I put my game in fullscreen and they are not bad at all

[vague talon]

Anyone is familiar with reliable black (not white) ARGB mobo and gpu power extension cables off Amazon?

[spark path]

Amd or intel?

am5 or am4, lga 1700 or lga 1851

like brotha go ask chat gpt at this point

[hallow jasper]

why would that matter? Dudes looking for RGB cable extensions

[spark path]

he want's a mobo

am I reading this wrong

[hallow jasper]

does he?

[tidal geyser]

Mobo

[somber zealot]

downloading iOS 26.2 rn

[hallow jasper]

you left out the rest of the sentence

so probably 24-pin and PCIe extensions

[spark path]

you know what I do not give a shit amma just go play my game in peace

it's my fault for even trying to help

[gentle kestrel]

me when i’m wrong and act like an ass instead of admitting it

[spark path]

I am so sorry

[hallow jasper]

just how i interpreted it

[spark path]

I am not wrong he wants a mobo with ARGB and gpu power extension cables off Amazon

[vague talon]

"extention cables"?...
It has nothing to do with the motherboard, just a motherboard 24 pin connector and 1 8 pin connector for the gpu

[left dove]

why u so angy

[gentle kestrel]

“reliable black rgb mobo and gpu power extension cables”

[ocean axle]

you are wrong, black ARGB [mobo (24pin) and gpu (6/8/12 pin)] power extension cables

[sleek ibex]

Normal TC1 endeavors I see

[vague talon]

Yeah, just argb cables

[gentle kestrel]

the irony of telling them to use chatgpt is so funny

never did he ask for a motherboard

[vague talon]

No, I don't.
"extention cables"

[spark path]

can you use different 24pin connector than the one that comes with the PSU? I thought that is a fire hazard

[left dove]

oh and now everything is fine

[ocean axle]

you can put an extension on them just fine

[spark path]

I didn't know that

[vague talon]

I'm not swapping, it's extension

[ocean axle]

just make sure its actually a good one

[gentle kestrel]

i’m pretty sure asiahorse is the budget brand everybody seems to use

[ocean axle]

you can also swap the cables used direct from the PSU, if its the correct PSU (and again, quality cables)

[tidal geyser]

It looks amazing

[vague talon]

All I see on Amazon is unknown companies or crazy overpriced shit

[spark path]

honestly I would read reviews and check reddit and even ask some Ais

[ocean axle]

ive used non-stock cables on my PSUs for years, thx cablemod

[vague talon]

Fuh nah 🥀
My psu isn't even good, I'm not testing it furthermore

[gentle kestrel]

once they add support for my psu i’ll probably pickup some cables from them

[hallow jasper]

maybe its just the picture but at least there, things look very washed out and dull

[spark path]

I would like to assume you were just lucky but I lack the knowledge to confirm

[ocean axle]

SuperFlower Leadex FTFW

[sleek ibex]

Superflower my beloved

[gentle kestrel]

they haven’t added any for the 13m yet

[tidal geyser]

Eh ok ye it could be better

[gentle kestrel]

and i’m not blind ordering 12m cables and praying

[ocean axle]

Cablemod makes quality cables
i have EVGA G2/P2/T2 (or their OEM branded SuperFlower Leadex) PSUs, which are compatible with the E-series cables
just check the compat list, https://cablemod.com/compatibility/

550 G2, 850 G2, 1300 G2, 1600 G2, 1200 P2, Leadex Titanium 1600, all the same cables

[hidden frigate]

quick question. Does this now force DLSS 4.5 on every DLSS game by default now?

[left trellis]

You can buy cables for a psu

you can also just verify them LOL

most brands post their pinouts, and if not there are plently of 3rd party sources tho that can get scary

and you can double check w a multimeter if you want

[ocean axle]

in my case, its just buying the same pinout PSUs a bunch, so i dont need to swap the cables im using

do not mix cables (ie: using cables for a different PSU pinout) though, that becomes an existence hazard for your PC real quick

[hallow jasper]

If the necessary DLL is found in the game, it should. You can always verify what preset model is being used with the nvidia overlay. (you'll need to configure it in the Alt-Z menu)

[left trellis]

thats the same image dawg 😭

[ocean axle]

its not

[hallow jasper]

Read the words

the only relevant part

the images are too small to be useful, obviously

[left trellis]

ah mb twin

[ocean axle]

i can see the ghosting they are talking about

[left trellis]

WORD

[hallow jasper]

Either way the Nvidia Overlay has been able to be configured to show you DLSS-SR and FG information, as well as the preset being used since August.

Unless you're at 4K and playing/testing in Ultra Performance preset, you should stick to either K (latest as of 4.0) or M.

[tidal geyser]

ultrawide really does just feel amazing

[hidden frigate]

okay it does say override preset M, but it says "off" for some reason??

[hallow jasper]

Off indicating DLSS isn't on. Are you sure you have DLSS and a quality preset selected in game?

[hallow jasper]

[atomic fog]

Guys i got a funky question,
I can play ANY game on ps5 on the absolute highest graphics possible, including war zone, far cry, uncharted, fn, any game atp. But if i play a very specific roblox game i crash xd, any idea what can be the issue? The gane on roblox is also quite high graphic

[hidden frigate]

I tried turning it off and on, and it's definitely doing something

[atomic fog]

Also yes im playing roblox coz i got nothing else to do

[cyan bay]

why is LAT high when fps is low but is low when fps is high

[hidden frigate]

cause the game runs real nice with DLSS enabled in the settings

[cyan bay]

is lat like input latency?

[pulsar root]

Would people still hate dlss and frame gen if you legitimately could not tell the difference

[pulsar root]

What game

[atomic fog]

On roblox? State of anarchy its some mid/high graphics game

Basically after 2-3 minutes when the map finished loading i crash

[hidden frigate]

its getting to the point where i'm struggling to tell. I see it when pausing the game in the witcher 3, but while playing it's really good

I never thought i could play witcher 3 1440p highest ray tracing graphics preset with 70fps

with 0 frame generation

I think the overlay is incorrectly reporting some numbers, but like it feels smooth and surprisingly snappy

[cyan bay]

honestly nahh frame gen is new tech so probably much better to give it more time but I think at some point you wouldnt be able to tell the difference

I mean it is definitely better than the average roblox games, also alot of items and details, so a hella ton of parts

[hidden frigate]

I have no idea if it's placebo or not, but the rain in the witcher 3 feels more noticable than before toggling DLSS override

[cold skiff]

Than before before?

whops

gotta say i still love ultrawide so much, but it is a va panel and has local dimming so has its issues

its fun to watch the dimming zones change brightness

which preset is better?

i usually just pick the lowest option but idk the difference between these 2 new ones

[open warren]

The pen drive method ?

[tidal geyser]

[tidal geyser]

uh i think so?

After I plug the hdd in will it automatically start windows?

[tidal geyser]

wait windows 10 or 11

[open warren]

W10

[tidal geyser]

MBR

[open warren]

Wat is MBR

[open warren]

Look

[tidal geyser]

find CSM and turn it on

and it should boot into windows without the HDD

not off i meant on

[open warren]

Look at pic I sent csm is on

[tidal geyser]

ah

ok i was right maybe try turning it off

[open warren]

It was off first but kept looping

On same thing aswell

Btw no boot option comes up tho so weird normally boot 1 boot 2 shi like that should be there right

But that’s not there

[tidal geyser]

you cant have been using windows 10 on a HDD all this time

slap the HDD back in and see what happens

[open warren]

No way I have been cuz windows loads super quick

Anyways plugging in the hdd back

[plucky hull]

i have a i5 13600kf and updated my bios the other day. i never had issues with it reporting wattage like this before. is this just software messing up or something else is wrong?

[open warren]

After I plug in hdd do I loop into bios again

[tidal geyser]

you should not be

[tidal geyser]

use hwinfo

[plucky hull]

is hwmonitor not as good?

[plain cypress]

Correct

[hidden hill]

so is 6x fg not out yet?

[left dove]

why would you want that literally ever

that sounds horrendous

[plain cypress]

Not yet

[open warren]

Yes it loaded windows

[plain cypress]

The most interesting part is adaptive frame gen

[tidal geyser]

open task manager then go performance and take a screenshot

[tidal geyser]

had someone else just today who had a issue with hwmonitor claiming their ram and VRMs were 80c at idle

[open warren]

Which one?

CPU

[lavish spire]

If I want a NAS that can also act like a server for dedicated game servers, is there any good options?

[left trellis]

Is the asus autotuner goated

[plain cypress]

You mean a server

[tulip sparrow]

One thing I plan on using a MiniPC+DAS setup for aka dedicated servers for games like Minecraft MAYBE Conan Exiles as well as a couple of others

[hidden frigate]

where did you find that toggle?

[lavish spire]

Probably 😄

[tulip sparrow]

Going to need to see if I can run those on Linux otherwise I am going to need a Windows VM I am sure

[hidden hill]

nvidia app, you need to update to the new beta version

and then you can see it in the model presets override

[lavish spire]

I was looking at the UGREEN stuff, but dunno if I can even boot stuff like a windowsvm on it

[grizzled frost]

prebuilt NAS's generally have pretty shitty CPUs

for games server hosting you want something with at least decent single thread performance

[tulip sparrow]

Right click the graph and set Graph to logical processors

The "overall" just bugs me so bloody much

[tulip sparrow]

Partly why I am thinking all AMD miniPC with a 8C CPU

88040HS at the veary least I think

[lavish spire]

Any recommendations for a combination build? Preferably "small" form factor and low idle temps. 4-6 3.5" bays.

[tulip sparrow]

Theres the Jonsbo NAS cases

Which for me still isn't small enough LOL

[grizzled frost]

why does "low idle temps" matter at all?

CPU temp has nothing to do with the heat put off by the PC

[tulip sparrow]

That would be a small part of the heat but I am pretty sure the drives would put off more tho

[lavish spire]

"overall temps" cause the last thing I need is more heat in my room 😄

[grizzled frost]

the amount of heat the CPU puts off has nothing to do with with it's temp

the amount of heat put into the room is exactly equal to the amount of power consumed

so your goal would actually be low idle power draw

[tulip sparrow]

Unless you throw that heat outside the room via a window or other ducting

[grizzled frost]

@lavish spire What's your budget?

[tulip sparrow]

UGH think one thing type another

[grizzled frost]

Budget minus drives preferably, since those are pretty much a fixed cost

[lavish spire]

I would say as low as possible, but given that I'm aiming for 3-5 20TB drives, My budget is already a black hole....
But I'd hope to not go above $3000

[thin bloom]

This company is absolutely shit. My mom asked to pick up the board but they fucking shipped it. I don't know if it's because she accepted the shipping offer they sent. Now I have to wait Friday for a possible broken motherboard now

[grizzled frost]

not above 3000usd, that is a very easy budget to hit, thank god

[tulip sparrow]

I just need to see if I can find a miniPC with the performance I wnat that will allow me to RAID the NVME/SATA SSD inside as well as a like a Raid 5/6/7 based DAS via USB-C 10GB or 20GB if possible

[thin bloom]

https://tenor.com/view/triggered-gif-14700617431260201695

[rocky lagoon]

So you want lower powered processor?

Same processor, same power draw but different temperature will not change your room temperature. Energy is not lost. It's still the same energy in your room in terms of watts.

[grizzled frost]

love the way you restate what i've already explained

[tulip sparrow]

I am going to be buying piecees for the setup over months at this point as drives along I am looking at like $1k+ easily

[left trellis]

How the hell did I just get 106% cpu usage 😭

[tulip sparrow]

Last time I parted things out I was at about $1600 total

[grizzled frost]

estimating cpu usage is hard

[rocky lagoon]

Yeah like your emote shows, I'm slow, both physically and mentally :p

[grizzled frost]

@lavish spire you cool with something like the Fractal Design R5?
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00Q2Z11QE?tag=pcpapi-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1

Fits 8 drives, realatively cheap

[hidden frigate]

ohh there's a new beta?

[grizzled frost]

there's a billion options for cases, so i'm kind of just spitballing

[rocky lagoon]

It's clearly not giving 110% of its effort all the time, for shame! /s

[hidden frigate]

Just booted up warframe with DLSS 4.5 and wow it looks real sharp, in a good way

[rocky lagoon]

Damn, R5 in 2026, that's something I didn't expect.

Nice case back in the day.

[white sphinx]

T slotted aluminium extrusions and a 3d printer✅

[thin bloom]

I did some research on this gpu I showed yesterday. It's not overpriced. In the used market that model sells around 300 to 400 usd

[hidden hill]

i wasnt able to really see anything super noticable from the switch to dlss 4.5

[grizzled frost]

not need to go that cheap on a 3k total budget

[hidden hill]

i do notice lighting looking better though

[white sphinx]

Damn, whats the budgeting for ram and ssd?

[grizzled frost]

3k total for the entire build + storage is what Roze said

i'm alloting for 5 20tb drives from ServerPartDeals, so about 1600usd for that

[tulip sparrow]

Things currently on my list

[lavish spire]

Standard mid tower?

[white sphinx]

Platform requirements? ECC DDR4?

[grizzled frost]

More or less, yeah

[grizzled frost]

They seem rather uninformed, so i doubt they care about ECC

[tulip sparrow]

I am personally thinking 5 8TB drives in a Raid 5

[grizzled frost]

and with game server hosting in mind, you kind of want a gaming chip funnily enough

That's speaking from my own extensive experience hosting games servers for 20+ concurrent players, not just some assumption i have

[tulip sparrow]

Mine is going to be mainly me and maybe 1 or 2 other people and that is it

[white sphinx]

So smth like arc a750+mid range am5?

[tulip sparrow]

NOT looking at hosting 100 people on a single server LOL

[grizzled frost]

I was going specifically zen5 since they do better with idle power draw

specifically the 9700x, since it's the top spec chip that is tied for the lowest TDP

[gritty spruce]

Is the ASRock B850M Pro-A good? Mainly for futureproofing, when i want a new cpu in the future?

[white sphinx]

Smort, dual 8gb ddr5?

I would be surprised if you could fit 32gb in the budget tbh

(Without sacrifices)

[left trellis]

9000 series chips have more issues w asrock so

[grizzled frost]

going dual 16gb, albeit 6000cl36

i'd have preferred 6000cl30, but that's almost 80usd more

[white sphinx]

I would spring for that tbh

Although inna server config it might not matter as much

[grizzled frost]

eh, acting as a storage server and games host server, i doubt they'll notice the difference with the lower latency

[ivory mountain]

real men buy cl38 kits and get them to cl28 with better subtimings

[left trellis]

future proofing isnt that important, a half decent board is fine

[left trellis]

are you tuning ?

[grizzled frost]

Build for Roze, but i doubt they will be

[left trellis]

cas latency doesnt really matter then

[grizzled frost]

@lavish spire you care about NVEnc?

[gritty spruce]

Okay, thanks

[white sphinx]

Biggest performance upgrade would probably be to go ecc since its a server config rather than slightly lower CL, imo

[grizzled frost]

AM5 technically supports ECC, but goddamn ECC UDIMMs are expensive

have you seen ddr5 ecc prices?

[white sphinx]

Unfortunately

[grizzled frost]

being budget conscious i can't really recommend they go ECC

[drowsy isle]

Now I might finally swap cases

[white sphinx]

Built a lab pc for the uni i work as a TA at, 64gb ec8 dimms are insane

[drowsy isle]

I hope it’s not prebuilts only

[gritty spruce]

Would using an adapter from sodimm to a dimm be Okay? I could get 16gb of ddr5 for 50€ with the adapter and ram stick. Normal dimms are 150€.

[kindred halo]

The urge to buy random LGA 1151 v2+ office prebuilts....

[sleek ibex]

Monitors are the only interesting thing going on at CES this year

[kindred halo]

Oh hello there

[sleek ibex]

[white sphinx]

Hi

[kindred halo]

Worse speeds, less stable, but.. It'll work

[kindred halo]

How're ya doin

[grizzled frost]

it's mostly worse speeds, or less stable, you kind of pick

[gritty spruce]

So when the prices go down, i should buy normal ram, just for the time being?

[white sphinx]

Hah

[gritty spruce]

I am on ddr3 rn, and an upgrade would be needed

[lavish spire]

NVEnc? Whats that? 🙂

[white sphinx]

Theyre drinking the AI cool-aid

[sleek ibex]

I mean who isn't?

[hallow jasper]

NVidia ENCoder

[white sphinx]

Hardware video encoding built into nvidia gpus.

[grizzled frost]

If you don't know, i doubt you'll care enough to spend the money to get it

[tidal geyser]

worst time for it

[rose stream]

Clicks probably.

[lavish spire]

I don't stream, so I probably don't need it

[white sphinx]

I mean i see the applications, just dont see it as massive on the consumer side of things

[gritty spruce]

Yep, sadly

[lavish spire]

Especially not on a server

[grizzled frost]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/WyXHv4
Something like this would probably suit you well

[rose stream]

Oh yeah, and Pebble.
Well, mostly. They have some in there.

[white sphinx]

Massive for analog chip designs though

[grizzled frost]

NVEnc mostly is used in servers for Media Playback through apps like Plex or Jellyfin

[grizzled frost]

2861.80 with 5 20tb drives included

[white sphinx]

Just get a gt 610 smh, it has nvenc

[grizzled frost]

also, really jealous you're getting that much storage

[grizzled frost]

ancient NVEnc is worse than modern AMD encoding

9700x IGPU will do fine for light encoding tasks

[white sphinx]

Ik lol, just find it funny how poor their marketing is for the different versions of nvenc

[grizzled frost]

very few people actually talk about the different generations of NVEnc

[hallow jasper]

Minimum for NVENC that supports modern codecs if 1650 Super for its TU116. (apart from AV1 encoding but who cares)

[rose stream]

And nowadays, AMD is actually good enough to be worthwhile, even if not fully there to be completely competitive with Nvidia or Intel.

[kindred halo]

1030 is like kinda the minimum

[rose stream]

Then again, AMD did find a way to outcompete them, but that is not something they're giving us specifically.

[kindred halo]

Wait no
That doesn't even have NVEnc

[grizzled frost]

Yeah, unless you're doing really high bandwidth 4k video, AMD will serve you just fine

[rose stream]

Which kinda bombs, but oh well then.,

[hallow jasper]

The encoding engine in 7000/9000 CPU's is nearly non-existent.

Tested that quite a lot at launch

[kindred halo]

GTX 1050 has 6th gen enc, 3rd gen dec

[grizzled frost]

They didn't mention any video playback storage, so it'll be fine

The build i put together also has lots of spare PCIE slots for upgrades later on

[kindred halo]

GTX 1630 is 5th/4th

[white sphinx]

Thats pascal right?

[rose stream]

Well it works out with 4k, so as long as it's one of the 7900s.
It will not however beat using a one of the 70s being in either 4070 or 5070 class.

[grizzled frost]

specifically chose a board with lots of PCIE slots of various generations

[kindred halo]

Yes

[rose stream]

Let alone will it match a B580.

Well, where quality matters anyway.

[kindred halo]

For the best PCIe power only.. It's kinda the 3050 6GB

[rose stream]

Final file size is also still a bit of a weak point too.

[grizzled frost]

@lavish spire If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to ask, i happen to be quite experienced with your exact use case

[white sphinx]

Thought the gt1030 didnt have nvenc

Isnt that half the selling point?

[rose stream]

We are kind of past the need to use really high bitrates for video encoding to solve quality issues, at least.

Just not fully there.

[kindred halo]

Yeah I just checked

Weird that a card meant for workstations doesn't have workstation features

[hallow jasper]

What do I need for this pc to recognize this HDD? I asked the guy that built it to put the SATA connector at rhe back, but Thats all he put in there

[grizzled frost]

power

[hallow jasper]

its not really a workstation card, its just a basic display adapter to put in anything cheaply

[grizzled frost]

all you have connected is the SATA data cable, you need the SATA power cable as well

[harsh whale]

You’re telling me I gotta look through that tangled net

[grizzled frost]

i mean you can also just not use the HDD if you're too lazy to put in the minimum amount of effort

[tidal geyser]

power

[white sphinx]

Its a really easy cable to find

Flat with a 15 pin connector

[tidal geyser]

i just did the same mistake

[harsh whale]

Anyone got an example photo

[kindred halo]

My fault on the wording
That's kinda what I meant
Card you use as a video adapter, with some graphical capabilities

[tidal geyser]

https://www.google.com/search?q=sata+power

[white sphinx]

It looks pretty unique

[kindred halo]

Also
Food for thought
The ARC PRO B50 is by far the best PCIe power video encoder I'd say :3

[hallow jasper]

from the sounds of it, if SATA power was never connected on the modular PSU, this guys world is going to fall apart

[tidal geyser]

why not a310?

[neat dove]

Its safe to use glasses cleaner on a monitor right? Its just water, isoprofen alcohol and detergent

[kindred halo]

Allegedly handles 20-23 simultaneous 4K instances

[hallow jasper]

No

[kindred halo]

In pure power, I mean

[grizzled frost]

bold of you to assume it's a modular PSU

based on that tangle, it looks to be non-modular

[tidal geyser]

asgard

more like assgard

[hallow jasper]

I mean to put "assuming" after the fact but i guess I didn't need to wait long for everyone to jump!

[grizzled frost]

distilled water, that's all you need

[harsh whale]

Is this it?

[hallow jasper]

yes

[white sphinx]

Detergent may leave residue

[hallow jasper]

It is, you didn't try hard enough. Slow down, look at both ends, employ critical thinking and figure it out.

[grizzled frost]

I can't plug it in for ya mate, you're gonna have to figure it out

[neat dove]

Okay i will buy distilled water next time I'm out, i just thought I would ask because I was thinking If its safe enough for prescription glasses it might be safe enough for a monitor but I should ask obviously

[grizzled frost]

they've not yet invented a monitor that lets me jump out your monitor like the girl from The Ring so i can plug your HDD in for you

[tidal geyser]

[hallow jasper]

I clean my glossy C2 with a microfiber and tap water. Pristine every time.

[grizzled frost]

only robot i want is the droid from the NVIDIA Keynote

[grizzled frost]

cleaned every monitor i've ever owned just like this

[tidal geyser]

the one that took a shower?

[hallow jasper]

distilled is cool too but I can't be bothered

[tidal geyser]

i do the same but with a bit of soap

[grizzled frost]

the one that waddled about and tried jumping like it was a toddler that just learned to walk

[neat dove]

I had issues with tap water

[grizzled frost]

Depending on your tap water, it can have varying amounts of minerals

[hallow jasper]

[tidal geyser]

the star wars droids?

[grizzled frost]

Yeah, I want 1

[neat dove]

Yup

[kindred halo]

I stand corrected

[tidal geyser]

claimes are that the soap might not be great due to exta stuff in it but never had any issues

[grizzled frost]

what are you getting on your monitor that requires soap to remove

[white sphinx]

It (might) leave some residue

Iso alcohol and distilled water are the best best

[hallow jasper]

its snot. its always snot 😆

[grizzled frost]

NO! Never alcohol

[neat dove]

I just havent cleaned it in forever so its being a bitch with just a cloth

[white sphinx]

[harsh whale]

I’m trying all the ways, anyone got an example or some shit, I might be special

[grizzled frost]

I don't care about vacuums, and I rarely use mine.
But everyone says it's worth buying a Miele as it's life changing so to be a people pleaser who's not enthusiastic, I'll just buy one on display and pretend to be an elitist despite not caring at all.

[iron glen]

What am i even thinking of
They make cars but also boat motors and pianos

[rocky lagoon]

Since we all know paying money for a brand name is what makes you an enthusiast, rather than actually caring about features you need or want. /s

[iron glen]

And dirt bikes

[tidal geyser]

samsung maybe?

[empty quartz]

Imagine not having a centralized vacuum

[iron glen]

Samsung dirt bike

[tidal geyser]

my irobot vacuum is not allowed to be on the internet

[true stirrup]

Imagine having a working vacuum

[iron glen]

They would definitely name it the comet or smth like that

[tidal geyser]

i got mine for free since it was broken

[ivory mountain]

😭

[empty quartz]

Could be me 😔

[iron glen]

Imagine not having one of those hand operated ones you need to pump to use

[tidal geyser]

i might need sunglasses for my display

tis very bright

[iron glen]

Mitsubishi maybe

[tidal geyser]

local dimming makes it look like its about to die

[iron glen]

Or Hyundai

[true stirrup]

Also @iron glen and @ivory mountain I want you to look at something

[ivory mountain]

holy shit is that the moon sword thingy malenia has

[iron glen]

Where do you even buy that

[true stirrup]

It's made out of full metal

[iron glen]

Ranni's Dark Moon Greatsword ackshually 🤓

[iron glen]

Jacket

[high fiber]

Is there a good 650 watt psu I can get for under 70? On Amazon?

[iron glen]

Maybe

[iron glen]

Awesome pfp ❤️

[tidal geyser]

aint there a a650gl for dat

[true stirrup]

A650BN is usually under that

[tidal geyser]

or that

[hallow jasper]

yep https://pcpartpicker.com/product/8LNxFT/msi-mag-a-bn-650-w-80-bronze-certified-atx-power-supply-mag-a650bn

[high fiber]

Is bronze certified safe?

[tidal geyser]

its c tier

80+ is crap

[true stirrup]

That rating means nothing
You need to look at the tier list

[hallow jasper]

the efficiency rating has no bearing on safety

[hidden hill]

would anyone know why in windows settings my peak nits keeps lowering? was at 1000 but now it constantly changes between 604 and 560

trying to fix it so that im back at 1000, rtx hdr messes up when this is messed up

[tidal geyser]

i should maybe clarify the tier list we are talking about is this one and it has data from a real psu lab

[hallow jasper]

Have you calibrated HDR using the tool?

[tidal geyser]

he is using the monitors profile

[hidden hill]

yep, did that the other day and found a profile for my monitor

[hallow jasper]

found? Use the tool and set that profile. https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9n7f2sm5d1lr?hl=en-US&gl=US

[hidden hill]

which is supposed to be set to 1000 nits, and it was at that until it lowered

[hallow jasper]

what display?

[hexed sage]

Hello guys

[hidden hill]

lg ultra gear 27gr95qe

oled hdr 1440p 240hz

[winter lantern]

My a- died so the list is mid 🥺

[hallow jasper]

that thing can't do anywhere near 1000 nits at 10% window (which is what that level is supposed to be calibrated to)
https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/lg/27gr95qe-b

[tidal geyser]

but it did not take any other parts with it

a c class or lower tends to do that

[winter lantern]

True it didnt

[tidal geyser]

everything will have a end

[hallow jasper]

your roughly 600 nits number is more accurate and should be left there

[tidal geyser]

the question is just if it will go out with a bang or not

[hidden hill]

what preset is that on? it changes based on the preset on the monitor

[winter lantern]

My psu only have 5 pcie ports so I cant use a 9070xt with it 🥀

[tidal geyser]

wat

you can do a 5090 and a 9070 xt with that

[winter lantern]

The mb uses 3

[tidal geyser]

what

[winter lantern]

The cpu

[tidal geyser]

it only needs 1

[hallow jasper]

It does'nt matter, that's an early gen model, they were NOT bright at all.

[winter lantern]

Well there were 3 i unplugged

[tidal geyser]

or are you on a threadripper 9995wx or smn

[hallow jasper]

600 10% window is far more accurate

[winter lantern]

I wouldn't be using no normal psu with one 🥀

[tidal geyser]

my monitor is very hot

[winter lantern]

Good thing you dont touch it

[tidal geyser]

well you can

[tidal geyser]

but its making noise

[winter lantern]

Oh

Take a break

🥺

[hallow jasper]

you should simply read the full writeup in the HDR brightness section. goes over how it was tested

[winter lantern]

Chat here on your phone instead

[tidal geyser]

nah

[winter lantern]

Damn

[tidal geyser]

i wanna watch me youtube at 1000nits

and the size of a 18 inch laptop

[winter lantern]

I have my moniters brightness low cause my eyes hurt from it

[tidal geyser]

i might need sunglasses for it

[hidden hill]

ah, is the monitor bad?

never looked dim to me, but that might be because of hdr

[hallow jasper]

No, its just not going to do 1000nits. Still better than the majority of LCD based slop out there today

[hidden hill]

wonder how it even had it set to 1000 to begin with then

weird

[tidal geyser]

the lights at school are maxed out and the 250nits displays are just not even close to good enough for it

[winter lantern]

Mini led displays are hella bright

[hallow jasper]

you can set it to 10000, doesn't mean its going to display it. Just ends up throwing the calibration off where its clipping details because it thinks it can display more than it really can.

[hidden hill]

wonder if i overpayed for this monitor, payed 600, normally its 1000

[winter lantern]

Z790 taichi with 13900kf

[tidal geyser]

yes

[hidden hill]

its the best monitor i've used but i also dont know much about newer monitors

[tidal geyser]

fyi the pcie port next to the motherboard connector is for more power on the lower pcie slots

[hallow jasper]

when? It came out in 2023 and has been replaced at least once

[hidden hill]

like 6 months ago

[tidal geyser]

aint tech support just lovely this time of night

[tidal geyser]

and 1 cpu connector can do about 300-400w

[grizzled frost]

mid afternoon*

[tidal geyser]

10pm for me

[grizzled frost]

rated for 300w, can do a fair bit more without issue though

[tidal geyser]

i really should go to sleep so i do not come late to school again

[hallow jasper]

Probably not th ebest move. Good in terms of most monitors out there, but not so much in terms of the 1440p 240Hz OLED space. That early gen WOLED was surpassed by newer QD-OLED's

[grizzled frost]

i’ve seen it used for 450w on some server gpus

[tidal geyser]

interesting

[grizzled frost]

dual EPS should have been the move instead of 12v-2x6

[hidden hill]

could i have gotten something better at that 600 dollar range though

[tidal geyser]

or going from 6+2 to just 8

[high fiber]

I have a question which is better a ryzen 5 5500 paired with a 6600 or ryzen 5 3600 paired with a 7600

[tidal geyser]

so yea kinda just eps

[grizzled frost]

yeah, actually use those +2 pins for power delivery instead of just ground and sense

[tired bear]

or
having 12vhpwr be 48vhpwr

[tidal geyser]

about the same cpu performance and one has the more modern gpu

[grizzled frost]

i approve of this message

[hallow jasper]

little better, and much cheaper. Like the AOC Agon AG276QZD2 thats often $400-$500.

[tidal geyser]

make everything 48v

[tidal geyser]

peo powered gpu :3

[grizzled frost]

i vote yes to this as well

[hidden hill]

dang

[tired bear]

thats the next step

[high fiber]

So you would take the 7600 with 3600?

[hallow jasper]

comparison https://www.rtings.com/monitor/tools/compare/lg-27gr95qe-b-vs-aoc-agon-pro-ag276qzd2/36349/70557

[hexed sage]

Do you guys know me

[tidal geyser]

i would look at a b580 tbh

[grizzled frost]

skip 12v only mobo power and go straight to 48v mobo power

[winter lantern]

Its weird having a crap gpu that isnt slot powerd

[hexed sage]

💔

[grizzled frost]

i mean you’ve hardly made an attempt to become acquainted with most of us

[hallow jasper]

currently $500 but has been on sale for $399 before

[tired bear]

if we increase pcie voltage to 48v it can provide 300w at same amperage as current 75w slot power limit

[hexed sage]

I don't know how to communicate with others

[grizzled frost]

You’re doing it right now to some degree

[hexed sage]

Very poorly 😭

[grizzled frost]

double the pcie power pins with pcie gen6, 600w slot power ftw

[tidal geyser]

we do need to remember 48v does need better shielding(aka more plastic) but not by much

[tired bear]

double the power pins and use 48v
i aproove this message

[grizzled frost]

this is the most we’ve all agreed on in ages

[tired bear]

no, 48v is still considered low voltage

[grizzled frost]

any voltage requires a bit of extra insulation

though we already overinsulate 12v wires

[tired bear]

macbooks display connector with 50v right next to cpu data line would disagree lol

[tidal geyser]

o wow

[grizzled frost]

60v is the voltage cutoff according to OSHA

i’ve seen similar cutoffs from other sources as well

[hexed sage]

Osha smosha

[grizzled frost]

OSHA regulations are written in blood

[hexed sage]

Cultic behavior

How is this acceptable?

[grizzled frost]

It’s a figure of speech

referring to the fact that osha regulations exist because without them people get seriously injured or die

[harsh whale]

How cooked am I on a scale of 1-10

[hexed sage]

Oh 😭

I knew that

[grizzled frost]

what flavor of neurodivergent are ya?

[tidal geyser]

i told you

[grizzled frost]

is this the guy with the 7700?

[muted fox]

I'm upgrading to 5 gigabit internet next week and my router is only 2.5g. Any good mesh routers that can take full advantage of 5 gigs?

[tidal geyser]

this is the guy you thought had a sas drive

[grizzled frost]

OH!

[high fiber]

Thanks

[hexed sage]

I got a passing grade on an IQ test

75

[tidal geyser]

you do know das only wifi 6?

[grizzled frost]

the single most neurodivergent response to my question ever

[sleek ibex]

I'm AuDHD

[harsh whale]

problem is with the game, cause Hitman 3 worked fine

[muted fox]

yeah that my current looking for upgrade bought that years ago

[hexed sage]

Damn that's some great audio quality right there

[tidal geyser]

do you even need more than 2.5?

[grizzled frost]

i don’t know what HD is, but doc says i have 80 of them bitches

[muted fox]

yes im getting 5 gigabit internet

[sleek ibex]

[tidal geyser]

is this a chicken or the egg kinda thing

eh there is a better analogy for this but i forgot it

[muted fox]

im upgrading from 1gig copper to 5 gig fiber and looking for a router that will support it

fully

[grizzled frost]

if you want to make use of 5g internet, you either use wifi7 and MLAG, or you use a wired 10g connection

[tidal geyser]

are there no cheaper plans

[tidal geyser]

why not wired 5gig

[muted fox]

bro i've been waitng my whole life for fiber i have the money i'm a power user im looking for recs haha

it will be wired, i just use wifi for my TV and and stuff that cant be wired
