[random gyro]

and they told me they dont clean earphones??

hygiene risk ah

[tidal geyser]

jebus das so many times better

[grizzled frost]

to be fair, cleaning headphones is a pain

plus headphones is one thing i wouldn't buy used

[grizzled frost]

sure you can get a good deal, but i'm grossed out by the fact it could have been worn by some sweaty dude

[random gyro]

yea but surely theres a law regarding sellingthat stuff

[grizzled frost]

doubt the law is that specific

[tidal geyser]

kinda cant clean the ear cups

[random gyro]

i wouldnt buy 2nd hand headphones personally

[tidal geyser]

no shit

[buoyant bridge]

Are you following the memory install order?

[grizzled frost]

yeah, there's always areas you won't be able to clean

[tidal geyser]

if i were to get 2nd hand headphones no matter what new ear cups

[drifting geode]

yh but when it's back

[buoyant bridge]

on DDR4
1866/2133/2400 is the only non XMP speed

[random gyro]

you can usually go to john lewis and get it fairly cheap if someone just opened the box

[grizzled frost]

you can actually get up to 3200 jedec

[buoyant bridge]

Can you? I've never seen any platform go above 2400 base

[grizzled frost]

You can, i've seen it, and JEDEC says so

[random gyro]

john lewis have a rlly good warranty too

[buoyant bridge]

I'm gonna tighten my fan screws with this for now on

[grizzled frost]

unironically how most datacenter hardware is mounted

[random gyro]

has anyone had issues when going to 2nd hand repair shops and buying sometjing their warranty is just a little bit of paper with writing on it

how is this a warranty bro 😭

[buoyant bridge]

That's because you need like 700 foot pounds for floor bolts

[grizzled frost]

i meant the servers themselves

[buoyant bridge]

both my 48U racks call for 650 foot pounds

[grizzled frost]

most servers are installed with a drill

[buoyant bridge]

WHAT??? r they not a standard rack?

[grizzled frost]

standard rack, they use a drill to put in the screws though

[buoyant bridge]

ohh not an impact lol

[grizzled frost]

Yeah, close enough though

[buoyant bridge]

That impact would literally twist the ears off the server and the cage bolts off the rack

[grizzled frost]

wouldn't twist the ears off, would fuck the cage nuts though

datacenter practices are insane sometimes

a lot of times when doing a rack overhaul, they just start cutting cables

fiber included, it's wild

[buoyant bridge]

It's got a Phillips bit on it now gonna remove some fan screw threads 😈

[grizzled frost]

what kind of chuck is that

impact to rotary chuck?

[digital egret]

Hekki

[silent scarab]

Why are someone people against buying builds in pieces/sections? Waiting to buy all at once might cause to to lose good deals or deal with higher prices.

[buoyant bridge]

impact to a standard 3 way chuck yeah

this is an impact rated one too

[grizzled frost]

great way to end up 90% done with a build then waiting months for one last component

[buoyant bridge]

I can pop the square drive end and put a SDS + or MAX on it too

[buoyant bridge]

Can't test your parts

[somber zealot]

or get hit by prices getting skyrocketed

[drifting geode]

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/157595207856

how ab this?

[buoyant bridge]

sometimes you'll get a bad part and if you wait too long you're screwed

[silent scarab]

Getting parts when they are at their lowest is better. You never now how long deals last or prices go up. Imo you can wait on stuff like cases and psu's but stuff like ram, mobo,gpu etc getting it asap when you have a good deal is better.

[buoyant bridge]

If you buy part by part and end up with a bad part there's a good chance you won't be able to return the bad part by time you find out

Most places only have a 14 or 30 day return period

[harsh whale]

Yikes asus

[silent scarab]

If you have a current build you test it there if the parts are compatible.

[buoyant bridge]

except your GPU and PSU there's pretty often it'll be incompatible

LGA 1851 CPUs don't work In 1700 boards, DDR5 ram doesn't work in DDR4 boards

If you're building a new PC and own another it's probably because your current one is at the end of its upgrade paths so that makes it even more common

[grizzled frost]

other than GPU and Case (GPU had to be the FE model so it was hard to get, and case was a boutique case with limited stock), I bought everything in one go

[silent scarab]

If you building a year out wait but 6 months or less snatch any deals you see.

[buoyant bridge]

This is fine because you can test all your components right away

[grizzled frost]

I put my 4080S in my ibuypower prebuilt and used it like that for like 2 months while i waited to buy the rest of the components

I was comfortable buying it ahead of time cause i knew i had a system i could immediately test it in to verify it was fine

[buoyant bridge]

RAM, CPU, Motherboard have to be your first parts and have to be at once, if you don't have a PSU or cooler to put on to test it you need those at the same time too

GPU, Storage, Case are fine to buy later (but not first)

If you have something to test in you can buy them first though

[tidal geyser]

way way better built and better specs

[idle hound]

Which of these should I buy???

[somber zealot]

I recently got a dell Alienware qd-oled and it’s great

[left dove]

eeeeee

[idle hound]

Yeh i just heard that since now there’s a lot new Better ones but that’s the budget alternative for 4k

[somber zealot]

240hz 4k is pretty awesome

[cold skiff]

Aaaaaa

[left dove]

why its only 5:20

[cobalt moth]

yes

[left dove]

are you?

[dusty dew]

Get asus or something with ryzen 9 and 780m(or better igp) if you can find cheaper, its at the same price range, but beware the ram too much shortage to upgrade

[tidal geyser]

[tidal geyser]

At the end of the month

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/frieren-sip-frieren-sipping-tea-book-gif-1603575268151458399

[ionic peak]

You called it military

[clear canyon]

https://tenor.com/view/marathon-frieren-mida-marathon-mida-vilesoup-gif-3851611506944135348

[left dove]

because its most commonly used by aviation, maritime, and military situations

[clear canyon]

Thats what its called in the US

Its commonly used in the US its just under the name "military time"

[ionic peak]

Uff only us or more countrys?

[clear canyon]

What

[ionic peak]

Do other countries use a 12 clock system like the usa

[bold olive]

me when i apply thermal paste 😭

[clear canyon]

Idk

[ionic peak]

When you repaste and suddenly find it everywhere except the die

[grizzled frost]

i like putting some paste in the ram slots for good luck /s

[bold olive]

ram will run cooler

[grizzled frost]

it’s like vaseline, a spoonful a day keeps the demons away

funnily enough paste in the ram slots would still work without issue

[bold olive]

how does doing something cursed keeps cursed things away

[grizzled frost]

not really

also that "thermal goop" isn't even crusty

[grizzled frost]

also isn't that LM?

[grizzled frost]

why all the shielding and the gasket?

[grizzled frost]

[bold olive]

it looks like a dummy nvme

[left dove]

i mean theres no drive installed

[buoyant bridge]

Have you run memory diagnostics?

[buoyant bridge]

The board is upside down I think

[grizzled frost]

yeah it's been unscrewed and flipped so we can actually see stuff

[west arrow]

Guys is reverse GPU sag a problem? I have a new anti sag bracket and i dont want the gpu to sag up. I downloaded a waterweight tool thing on my phone and its saying the sag is 0.5 degrees up (but lets assume 1 since it might not be 100% accurate)

[grizzled frost]

.5 degrees is a nonissue

[left dove]

its fine.

[buoyant bridge]

it's not nearly as bad as sagging in the other way

and that's such a small amount it's not an issue

sagging down puts strain on the slot and pcb, sagging up is not straining but it is bent

[west arrow]

Ok thanks a lot guys

[grizzled frost]

if your degree measurement starts with "0." then it's an unimportant amount of sag

[tidal geyser]

I'm being lied to

[ornate harbor]

Whats Intel Evo

[left dove]

google can tell you

[tidal geyser]

its a intel evo cpu

[ornate harbor]

Never heard of that

Is it new or old

[tidal geyser]

how old are you

[left dove]

google knows

[tidal geyser]

intel evo was a lot of cpus kinda

[ornate harbor]

15

[tidal geyser]

yup

its 11th to 12th gen even i think

i at least know 11th gen is dat

[clear canyon]

Infinite storage

[tidal geyser]

5500 euro and just a 5080

[clear canyon]

Yeah

Ram took the same amount of budget as the 5080

[harsh whale]

is anyone willing to hop on a VC in like 30 minutes to an hour to help me with some stuff on my PC?

[stray holly]

I can. Help u in text chat what’s going on

[left dove]

why don't you just, idk, explain whats happening in chat

[harsh whale]

I like talking more than texting tbh, but I'll explain. I'm having trouble unscrewing some stuff, and I wanna know if I'm doing something wrong (bec I def am).

I wanted to VC so I can actually open my camera

[tidal geyser]

how can you unscrew wrong

[left dove]

so take pics

[clear canyon]

No

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/wrench-home-repair-handyman-mechanic-fixing-things-gif-13368972687492071747

[left dove]

lefty loosey righty tighty

[clear canyon]

Righty spinny, lefty spinny

Aka ur screw/bolt/nut is stripped

[harsh whale]

But lefty isnt loosey-ing, and righty isnt tighty-ing. There some shit im def missing

[left dove]

probably because it's torqued down

twist left harder

[tidal geyser]

he could have also stripped it

[clear canyon]

I called it

https://tenor.com/view/anime-smug-face-are-you-sure-about-that-gif-17462875633605435995

[harsh whale]

Then I'll strip it gang

[harsh whale]

Nah its still a functioning screw, its either I'm unscrewing the wrong screw or its my screwdriver

[clear canyon]

Is it spinning

[proper gull]

Righty tighty until oops righty loosey

[harsh whale]

It's not moving, its like really tight

[clear canyon]

Are you using the correct bit?

[harsh whale]

I am

[clear canyon]

Then put some power behind it

Or use a drill

[harsh whale]

Tried, didn't work

[clear canyon]

Get a better screw driver

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/spy-kids-good-morning-happy-birthday-spy-tf2-gif-23407718

[tidal geyser]

his was better

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

These little screws

[clear canyon]

https://tenor.com/view/goku-dragon-ball-dragon-ball-z-meta-cooler-cooler-gif-1585080736105619618

[tidal geyser]

its stripped

iv done it before

[clear canyon]

What screw driver

[clear canyon]

Same

[proper gull]

Weak ass

[tidal geyser]

you need to put pressure on the other side of the screw when unscrewing

[proper gull]

Push down hard on the screw so you don't destroy the head, and turn as hard as you can left

[harsh whale]

I have a screwdriver with bits and I just used the bit that matched

[clear canyon]

Thats not what i asked

[harsh whale]

A generic screwdriver I bought from Amazon like 2 years ago 🤷‍♂️

[clear canyon]

Bruh, im asking for you to send a pic, stop describing it

[proper gull]

That still doesn't answer the question

[clear canyon]

Ik its a screw driver

[harsh whale]

Ah, then ask for a picture bro 😭

One sec

[clear canyon]

"Whats the screw driver" isnt "explain to me when you bought your screw driver"

[tidal geyser]

always hard trying to explain a issue that needs experience to really know how to fix.

[clear canyon]

[harsh whale]

I’m gonna unplug my pc and try having a go at the screw again sec.

I think I figured the issue

[tidal geyser]

what was it

I don’t know a friend got 8900

[tidal geyser]

is your vanguard running?

[trim schooner]

?

[tidal geyser]

yup a cable that came with the psu

[mental zephyr]

What’s a vanguard

[trim schooner]

what

[tidal geyser]

the psu came with a sata cable aka the one you need

and yes you plug it in there

[left trellis]

Is extremely high dpi considered not optimal because of possible smoothing, sensor deviations, potential sensor jitters and possible noise from small unintentional movements?

play lego

[rigid fjord]

essentially it is, and you can do that between 2 AP's etiher internally or externally with buildings, though tbf they could of burried wires in 2-3" tubing between the buildings and have gotten a better setup tbh

you mean normal mounting, or vertically mounting one?

[trim schooner]

Connected everything what about those extra ones

[frail sequoia]

Lol I got 100db on my shitty £10 headphones

[harsh whale]

You guys think rhis is possible without unscrewing it?

[frail sequoia]

That’s just sata for sata hdds and ssds

[rigid fjord]

what's possible without unscrewing what?

[trim schooner]

ok temperatures are fixed

[harsh whale]

Screwing in the SSD without taking out my GPU

[trim schooner]

now wb the thing not booting

[rigid fjord]

with the right screwdriver + tip, definitely doable

[harsh whale]

I low-key don’t even know where to find the SSD screw

[rigid fjord]

precission screwdriver + extendable tip that's magnetic + ph2 tip

[rigid fjord]

mobo box

[harsh whale]

I have a bag full of screws in there, what am I looking for exactly?

[rigid fjord]

it's usually marked up on the packaging for what screw it is when it comes to mobo's, sometimes it's with an extra stand off

like so

[harsh whale]

I wish it was labeled

[rigid fjord]

those are all to do with the case from what i can see of them

[frigid blade]

That is a lot

[rigid fjord]

not really

[harsh whale]

So not this little guy

[frigid blade]

Read your mobo manual

[rigid fjord]

i can't even see the thread on this

A 0 not AO, and your manual will say

[frigid blade]

Potato potato

You know you can’t use that phrase with text

[whole goblet]

why do laptops now have a higher resolution screen than your average monitor? watching the CES coverage, the new ASUS Zephyrus G14 has up to a 3k resolution while most 27" monitors are still on 1440P

[frigid blade]

How do I distinguish the way it’s said

[harsh whale]

I don’t think this is any better

[whole goblet]

text are so small on these small, high resolution screens, that i have to use the windows scaling feature to make text and icons larger

[rigid fjord]

that's an m3 for sata 2.5", floppy drives and optical drives

[frigid blade]

It’s small because you’re close up

I know that sounds backwards

[harsh whale]

Ah, so I just keep looking for smaller screws? Or what’s the plan here?

[rigid fjord]

screws 🤣 for all the ones this discord causes people to lose at times

[rigid fjord]

it needs to look like the one in the pic i sent earlier

[harsh whale]

I’ve found it, but small issue, I don’t have a magnetic screw driver, I’ll just wing it and hope it works

[whole goblet]

but what about the whole sharpness thing cus of higher PPI on laptop screens compared to most 27" monitors?

[boreal tiger]

Great

[boreal tiger]

Techhead

[boreal tiger]

Is this good?

This word techhead ?

[gilded sparrow]

Tbh graphics cards gave gotten so good u really don't need a super nice gpu to play games REMEMBER just enjoy your games

[tidal geyser]

b390

[boreal tiger]

You sure

[tidal geyser]

yes

[boreal tiger]

What about games like CS 2

[tidal geyser]

this is on a igpu

[boreal tiger]

On which settings?

[gilded sparrow]

graphics card meant for gaming not display adapters

[gilded sparrow]

settings dont matter just enjoy the game

[tidal geyser]

high with half res 1080p but upscaling

[boreal tiger]

It does

[boreal tiger]

Impressive

[gilded sparrow]

https://tenor.com/view/donald-trump-wrong-not-right-gif-14695153867752834726

[tidal geyser]

hard to enjoy a game at 20 fps lowest settings

[boreal tiger]

Elaborate

[boreal tiger]

Tru

[tidal geyser]

30 fps is too low for me but 60 i can live with

[gilded sparrow]

well ok, graphic fidelity doesn't really matter if u had the choice to either play game or not play game ur gonna play the game, games aeent just about what can look the best its about the story and engagement and having fun not who can run what at what settings better

[boreal tiger]

What about 35

[tidal geyser]

120 is where im most happy

[tidal geyser]

what you believe in is not what everyone else does

[gilded sparrow]

it goes both ways

Im only saying this stuff bc i just witnessed a kid getting bullied in a discord for playing on a 3050

[iron glen]

wsp sim
i have mad packet loss in every game i play, i've tried p much everything except a different ethernet cable, you think this could fix it?

[boreal tiger]

Depends you see if someone can afford it good for them but you are right broke people have to enjoy too

[tidal geyser]

try it

[boreal tiger]

It could

[blazing basalt]

Took it apart again

Now it does this

[tidal geyser]

tbf we do have a lot of people who come in here or on discord servers going i really wanna play X game at MAX settings how me can do that with a 1650 and some old ass intel cpu

[iron glen]

could it also be that my ethernet cable is 3x longer than before, running trough some hub thing and constantly being stepped on and ran over?

[tidal geyser]

maybe the bios is corrupt then or something, o well very funky

[blazing basalt]

Very funky indeed

[tidal geyser]

[lavish spire]

I tried putting together a shopping cart, almost $4500 usd in sweden :'(. Also, the motherboard only have 4 sata slots :3

[boreal tiger]

That's a cherry 🍒 in top situation

[gilded sparrow]

what im trying to say and ill elaborate on my point most gpus made post 2017 can still play most games fine maybe not max settings but can play 30 fps+

[gilded sparrow]

1650s are still great cards for budget gaming

id play on 1650 if thats all i had

[boreal tiger]

Yeah Tru but you still need GPU you can't rock with just cpu

[gilded sparrow]

wrong guy

that was sims point not me

[boreal tiger]

Ok

[gilded sparrow]

i never said anything about igpu even tho they are getting quite good

[boreal tiger]

Mb

[tidal geyser]

iv used it plenty of times, its not a fun card

[boreal tiger]

But its cheap

[gilded sparrow]

i was thinking igpus aernt super powerful mostly due to lack of space what if we used the thread ripper platform with the most pins used a lot less cores to free up pins and put and nice igpu in that can keep up

[boreal tiger]

And has good fun per buck spent

[tidal geyser]

i have gotten computers with 1080 TI's in em for 300$

[small badger]

Can we write an open letter to Microsoft with Everyone’s name on it saying

Are you intentionally making Windows bad?

[gilded sparrow]

if a 1650s ur only option u got it for a great price its not the worst

[boreal tiger]

What you trying to say

[boreal tiger]

300 dollars is alot of money

[tidal geyser]

like i myself play a lot of 2d games right now and the basic 11th gen igpu ofc can do it ezpz but when someone asks how they can play some AAA modern game on their 1650 then well

[boreal tiger]

It's possible people do it

[sharp hound]

i bought a stick of ram before the price increase

should i sell it?

[grizzled frost]

do you need the stick of ram or the money more

[boreal tiger]

I used to play warthunder on 1060 3gb

[sharp hound]

https://tenor.com/view/they-see-me-rollin-minivan-car-van-smoking-gif-13964882

[sharp hound]

i only get 200 dollars profit

[grizzled frost]

probably worse than the igpu they were using

[sharp hound]

ddr5

[grizzled frost]

do you need the 200usd or the ram more

[sharp hound]

the ram sadly

[gilded sparrow]

singular sticks dont sell well on used market im just gonna put that out there

[sharp hound]

should have bought more

[grizzled frost]

then why sell it?

[pure zenith]

dont know if this is the right place but can anyone help me finding a good ssd for my rog xbox ally?

[sharp hound]

unopened pack

2x16 ddr5

[grizzled frost]

the fact every consumer platform for like the past decade has been dual channel doesn’t help

[boreal tiger]

Nah man don't poor shame me like that 😭

[grizzled frost]

the cheapest TLC drive you can find

[grizzled frost]

it ain’t poor shaming, it’s gt 1030 shaming

[tidal geyser]

that uses a 2280 drive right, aka almost any m.2 you can find will fit

[grizzled frost]

for the price you paid for the 1030, you can do better

[pure zenith]

yes

[boreal tiger]

1060 btw

[gilded sparrow]

yeaaah but at the same time they were supposed to fix that with ddr5 but was like more lanes and more channels its still gonna be two sticks

[grizzled frost]

oh i brain farted

[sharp hound]

true only if i bought a gpu at that time

[boreal tiger]

That's all I could afford back then

[sharp hound]

i would be rich

[grizzled frost]

same number of channels, higher bit lanes iirc

[sharp hound]

my dad wants to upgrade his pc anyone want a 2060

(not free)

[gilded sparrow]

Technically no bc ddr5 sticks themselves are dual channel technically

[boreal tiger]

Ah

[sharp hound]

do you want a 2060

il sell it for 2k

[boreal tiger]

2k what?

[sharp hound]

usd

[boreal tiger]

Nigeria dollars

[sharp hound]

im goin with the trend of the gpu market

i wouldnt be supirsed if it costs that much 10 years from now

[boreal tiger]

Nah

[gilded sparrow]

ik what i got type mentality

[boreal tiger]

I might have felt for it if you added free candy to it and a ride in a van

[sharp hound]

my laptop with a 4050 is now worth 1000 dollars more than i bought it for MSRP
i got it for less than that with discounts

[boreal tiger]

Be honest whom did you steal it from

[sharp hound]

xps 15 9530 with rt 4050 retailed orginally for 2000 usd

I got it for 1400

[tidal geyser]

that does not sound right

[grizzled frost]

more aptly labeled as two subchannels

[sharp hound]

its a dell im comparing it with the new one because they dont make the same one anymore

[tidal geyser]

you sure it aint just old and not been made for a long time

[boreal tiger]

Nah too bad

[grizzled frost]

but yes you’re right, it’s two separate channels of 32bits

[sharp hound]

2024

[tidal geyser]

2 year old

[boreal tiger]

Why you brought xps

[sharp hound]

yea thats not old and it has ddr5 mem and a ddr6 gpumem

[tidal geyser]

quality

[sharp hound]

quality and gaming

[tidal geyser]

gaming laptops are built so badly

[grizzled frost]

you can say that as ddr5 and gddr6

[sharp hound]

parents dont allow me to play so i gotta get stuff through other means

[boreal tiger]

Those aren't for gaming they are thin af

[grizzled frost]

a bit more succinct

[sharp hound]

not bad actually i was able to emu zelda totk pretty stable 1080p

[tidal geyser]

will it explode if you do it?

[grizzled frost]

i’m fine with piracy in any circumstance where the alternative is just not using it, instead of the other alternative being you do actually pay for it

[boreal tiger]

No but not worth the money

[grizzled frost]

in paid vs piracy, piracy bad, in unused vs piracy, piracy good

[boreal tiger]

Lenovo might have been better

[sharp hound]

bulky

my issue and the stupid red center dot thing

pisses me off

[boreal tiger]

But hey who am I to judge

[tidal geyser]

it will be once your gaming laptop burns a hole trough the PCB or shorts the gpu

[boreal tiger]

Enjoy

[boreal tiger]

Seems like skill issues

[tidal geyser]

what

[sharp hound]

its fine

its not bad

[tidal geyser]

what laptop do you have

[boreal tiger]

You might be using it wrong like blocking the air

[sharp hound]

linus's crew member used an xps for the longest time

[boreal tiger]

I have a pc

[stray portal]

yall my razer huntsman mini is ariving tomorrow

[tidal geyser]

a laptop is a pc

[stray portal]

🤑 gonna be so tuff

[boreal tiger]

And a very old laptop like dell Inspiron 3521

[tidal geyser]

nope seen laptops been maintained perfectly still do it

[boreal tiger]

WOW 🤯

[stray portal]

Razer razer i love razer

[tidal geyser]

the hinges being being plastic inserted is also a common failure point

[boreal tiger]

Never heard of it

[tidal geyser]

well im repairing laptops

[boreal tiger]

Shaving razor? 🪒

[stray portal]

https://tenor.com/view/razr-gif-11177151

[boreal tiger]

With which laptop it's happens the most?

[tidal geyser]

no clue

but like i said more gaming than well built ones

[stray portal]

Logipek only makes good mice imo, everything else is hit or miss

With razer its more consistent

[boreal tiger]

What is logipek?

[stray portal]

https://tenor.com/view/logitech-logo-tenor-discord-gif-519393276872652017

[tidal geyser]

the biggest killer i see on business class laptops is coffee or it being dropped and that only takes out the screen or touchpad

[boreal tiger]

You forget something else 😉

[tidal geyser]

wat

[stray portal]

Logeetec

[boreal tiger]

Forget it I can't say it here

[rigid fjord]

funily enough, the wireless version is mildly lighter , and the fact your whole hand fits over it means you can grip it better tbh

[tidal geyser]

i have repaired 2 coffee damaged laptops and and done 1 screen damaged and 2 more should be on the way

[boreal tiger]

You strike me as Chinese aka very good at replicating and stealing names

[rigid fjord]

he said business class, not the consumer class ones

[boreal tiger]

Why can't they make laptops water proof

[boreal tiger]

You never know my friend you never know

[tidal geyser]

resistant and they can but nobody is doing it

[rigid fjord]

you've never seen or heard of a toughbook then

[tidal geyser]

cant even submerge it smh

[boreal tiger]

From the name alone I don't wanna hear about it

[rigid fjord]

definitely not your friend

[boreal tiger]

Nah 😭

You Miss understand

[rigid fjord]

well, for a limited time, it's like certain watches, good for up to a short depth

[stray portal]

will the size difference affect me if i have palm grip

going from the pink one to blue one

[boreal tiger]

Nah I want something SpongeBob can use and still be fine

[rigid fjord]

the razer having poor quality there, and potentially when it comes to the size difference

[stray portal]

huh poor quality

wdym

[tidal geyser]

Ain't fedora fun

just installed the iso

[stray portal]

same bluds complaining about windows updates

[tidal geyser]

i just installed it

[stray portal]

guess what

windows doesnt update after install 🤑

fedora bloat omg omg useless updates

[tidal geyser]

at least it comes with the needed drivers

[stray portal]

only for amd

[tidal geyser]

wat

[tidal geyser]

what do you mean?

[stray portal]

amd drivers are included in linux

[tidal geyser]

nvidia drivers are auto detected on most major distros

[frigid blade]

Linux NVIDIA drivers have been doing
much better lately

And I’m 99% sure it’s because of the AI stuff

[tidal geyser]

almost like nvidia has enough money to throw it around and like uh ALL of its enterprise stuff is linux

[frigid blade]

Yah but it’s weird they didn’t do it before this

[tidal geyser]

all might be a bit much but most of it at least

[frigid blade]

It’s not like the enterprise Linux stuff didn’t exist before

[tidal geyser]

the enterpise stuff they did was more cli focused

[frigid blade]

sudo apt install my drivers pls

[stray portal]

linux got invented in 2021 by steam

[tidal geyser]

cwnd

[stray portal]

with release of steam deck

[tidal geyser]

proton has been around way longer than that

[stray portal]

what does proton vpn have to do with this

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/spy-tf2-tf2-team-fortress-2-gif-11757086698902500791

[stray portal]

and before linux got released it was just lunix

[boreal tiger]

Actually

[frigid blade]

Cities Skylines 2 sucks

[stray portal]

no it doesnt

[tidal geyser]

remove the l

[frigid blade]

yah it’s an unoptimized pos

[tidal geyser]

even a 9950wx did not have a good time

[frigid blade]

You could run it on a nasa budget computer and it would still suck

[stray portal]

lie lie

i run it every day

[frigid blade]

Yah my laptop can run it too, at 1 fps

Actually I’m interested now

[stray portal]

i fart per second

[rigid fjord]

unix*

[stray portal]

inux

[tidal geyser]

the 2nd one

[stray portal]

theres only 1 l in linux

wgat 🙁 '

[rigid fjord]

mac OS is argualby unix based also

[tidal geyser]

aint it BSD

[bitter frost]

yoo anyone got an suggestions on a nice headset id prefer wireless as long as the delay isnt bad, Looking to use it for rust, r6 just gaming all around

[rigid fjord]

would still have derived from unix initially

[rigid fjord]

i would have suggested sennheiser but they got rid of their gaming line, closest would be their office line of headsets

[tidal geyser]

my laptop can see its sitting on my lap

[viral kayak]

new wifi motherboard is so much better than the old wifi card i was using before :D

[junior merlin]

So, over the 5070ti, is the 5080 really just an extra decoder and AI performance cores for $250?

[tidal geyser]

and like 10% performance

https://tenor.com/view/tf2-merasmus-gangam-style-gif-6631155530753316354

[gleaming rose]

holy shit ok my opinion of Panther lake has changed yet again

after seeing benchmarks and the prices it's a damn good deal

[fringe prairie]

they kinda suck

[tidal geyser]

ef

[fringe prairie]

i’m like 90% sure the new panther lake xps will beat the 4050 in the old xps

[tidal geyser]

what prices have ye seen

[fringe prairie]

yeah lol 50w 4050 in the xps 16

decent chance ptl beats or matches it

[tidal geyser]

its the thing people have a hard time understanding, the cpu will also need to be powered while the new igpus are whole chip

[fringe prairie]

anemic ahh. yoga pro 9i does 100w 4050/4060

[tidal geyser]

my x1 gen 9 is sad, i think its limited to 15w or smn

on the whole cpu

huh now what is this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x2binSxQ7mo

[fringe prairie]

oh yeah intel just let reviewers test any game

[tidal geyser]

oh xd

now that is a easy way to tell if someone made a good product

[fringe prairie]

https://youtu.be/NdLYuQQPo5c?

[tidal geyser]

i thought this was some small ai reposter thing

[fringe prairie]

nah eta does like random builds and stuff lol

[tidal geyser]

ah i think he used some kinda noise reducer thing

[fringe prairie]

haven’t watched their videos in a while though

[tidal geyser]

he sounds so robotic in the video but it is his voice listening to some older vids

[fringe prairie]

lol

[tidal geyser]

excuse me

[fringe prairie]

i watched the jarrod video on new laptops

acer fuckin sold

[tidal geyser]

doom dark ages

[tidal geyser]

acer sucks

[fringe prairie]

they fixed the stupid cpu issue but then gimped the gpu for some reason

[tidal geyser]

my first laptop was acer so bad and now my first OLED one had a snapped hinge

[tidal geyser]

ah the helios with high temp vram issues?

[fringe prairie]

no they stuck a 275hx in a thin and light

[tidal geyser]

ah

[fringe prairie]

and it performed like crap

had awful battery life too

[tidal geyser]

well das what happens when you put a desktop chip in it

[fringe prairie]

because the screen couldn’t refresh at 60hz or something

[tidal geyser]

60 and 90hz feel so so different

[fringe prairie]

acer had one job…

[tidal geyser]

make money

[fringe prairie]

at least the new msi stealth and zephyrus look promising. socketed ram up to 7200mts on the stealth now

[tidal geyser]

XMG is also doing cool stuff

upgradable motherboards

[fringe prairie]

schenker yeah that looks sick

basically a fw16

[tidal geyser]

if im rich enough might go for it

[fringe prairie]

probably won’t come to the states though

[tidal geyser]

get rekt

[fringe prairie]

unfortunate. if it was priced well i think i may have gone for it

[rose stream]

Nope, he's legit.

[tidal geyser]

im defo gonna focus on price to performance really hard but at the same time something with some nice features is well nice

like all metal or at least a metal top case minimum since i would like not to open my laptop one day and see the plastic threads

pantherlake gonna be so cool, and there are so many new driver improvements on the way from what i can tell.

[junior merlin]

ETA Prime is an AWESOME channel

[mortal venture]

not bad for 9 year old ssd

[tidal geyser]

tbh i would say most consumer SSDs die due to other reasons before you get close to the NAND wearing out

whoa

[spark path]

what does any of this mean exactly?

[mortal venture]

now I have 4

for free

[spark path]

damn that's nice how?

[mortal venture]

At school they were throwing away old computers and I asked if I could take the drives

[somber zealot]

and not the ram?!

I’m kidding, wouldn’t be worth a lot anyway

[mortal venture]

DDR3 so I don't need it

one is almost new

[tidal geyser]

2TBW, almost new

hmmm

[craggy cove]

do i actually need an anti static bag to ship a motherboard (original mobo box) or is that propaganda

[junior merlin]

Do I NEED a new power supply if I'm upgrading to a 5070ti? I've got an older EVGA 1000W GQ

[craggy cove]

10 years old?

[junior merlin]

Maybe? Probably?

She's 7 or 8 I think.

[tidal geyser]

yolo

[craggy cove]

ngl personally id use it

[tidal geyser]

you really should in a perfect world but just wrap it tight with bubblewrap

[craggy cove]

alright tyty

they were shipped like this here ig so its fine?

then again one had a weird power on defect so uhh

[pure trellis]

Warranty is 5 years, PSU should be in good condition

[junior merlin]

Yeah, but my concern is the adapter.

Cause the new cards all come with the 12 pin thing.

[pure trellis]

Wait,sram is back?

Oh, you will use non 8 pin 5070 ti

[tidal geyser]

are there even any

[pure trellis]

Oh, great...

[junior merlin]

There's ONLY 12 pin of the 5070s

[pure trellis]

Thanks Nvidia

[spark path]

is this okay or are there better manual tweaks I can do? I got ryzen 7 7700

[pure trellis]

I mean,load in a mission to stress test fps

[tidal geyser]

do not worry about it

[pure trellis]

Or do you have 100 rumbas?

[spark path]

I read that in italian accent, I just wanna get the most performance out of my system without taking years off of it's life, like I want it to last me 6 years

[pure trellis]

Do oc than

[narrow cloak]

Hi, does any1 have any knowledge about laptop gpu’s crashing under load, but doing fine when using the integrated graphics

[glossy veldt]

temps?

[tidal geyser]

ram oc

[narrow cloak]

75-85

[craggy cove]

@tidal geyser should i ship it with the stock cooler installed?

[tidal geyser]

the dgpu is dying

[narrow cloak]

ffs

[craggy cove]

mobo box bulges a little but it closes ig

[tidal geyser]

i do it

anyhow uh this is something

[spark path]

that won't damage my ram lifespan right? and let's be clear you're not talking about EXPO right?

[narrow cloak]

i was afraid of hearing that already, cz i reset my entire laptop but kept having the same problem

[junior merlin]

How's ASUS in terms of warranty and part quality?

[hybrid tusk]

It's been a while since I've last used this discord and the channels are different now. Where do I go if I need a PSU recommendation for my setup? 👀

[craggy cove]

tyty so i will too

[craggy cove]

google spl psu tier list

[spark path]

I got a monitor from them, it's great, what are you trying to get?

[junior merlin]

Prime 5070ti

[hybrid tusk]

I have some...well, odd requirements 😄

[craggy cove]

sff? or what can be so odd

[hybrid tusk]

i9 9900k + dual GPU (5090 + 4090), I've got some GPUs from my client and I need something for training models 🤷‍♂️ And yes, I need to replace that CPU + Mobo + RAM + whatever else, but for now I need to quickly get a PSU to get it running

[somber zealot]

dang

[spark path]

I would go with rx 9070 xt but if you can afford 5070 ti then sure, read ratings and honestly I would literally go and ask an Ai to compare it to other model, it mostly doesn't really affect performance at all, but check out reddit if you're worried asus might have weak durability

[junior merlin]

I would go AMD if I didn't need to do encoding.

[tidal geyser]

hm?

h265 and av1 are fine and even h264 now with rdna 4

[spark path]

I don't know what encoding is so forget my advice 😔

[junior merlin]

AMD has terrible streaming encoding quality.

[somber zealot]

this is how I feel most of the time

[tidal geyser]

hm?

[spark path]

this guy is good trust him

[junior merlin]

Compared to a 5070ti with dual NVENC and CUDA acceleration?

[spark path]

well it's good that we try at least sometimes

[somber zealot]

yeah!

[junior merlin]

From what I understand, the 5070ti has 2 encoding chips, which means you can both stream and record simultaneously with like, barely any performance hit.

[tidal geyser]

the 7900 XTX also has 2

give me a moment im trying to find the encode quality

[junior merlin]

So I'd be spending $700 on a card that isn't any faster than my current one for encoding?

I'm rocking a 3080

[tidal geyser]

do you have issues with its speed?

[junior merlin]

Encoding overloads

[tidal geyser]

what do you mean by that?

[craggy cove]

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DNNZ9G46?tag=pcpapi-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1

maybe?

[junior merlin]

I get encoder overload issues whenever I try to simultaneously stream AND record at the same time.

[tidal geyser]

in OBS i would assume?

[junior merlin]

Yes

[tidal geyser]

but its a bit strange swear iv done both at times without issues

i think i might have even done it on a 1650

[tidal geyser]

can i have a look at your OBS settings?

[junior merlin]

Sure

[tidal geyser]

also have you had a look at this?
https://obsproject.com/kb/encoding-performance-troubleshooting

[junior merlin]

I think part of it is also using Nvidia Broadcast

[tidal geyser]

xd that made my friends pc constantly BSOD

[hybrid tusk]

that looks nice, although it seems cheap? Or is this the right price for this? I assume this can handle one GPU per each 12V connector?

[tidal geyser]

hmm

[junior merlin]

It actually crashes less when I use that one lol

[tidal geyser]

wtf

[junior merlin]

Yeah

And this is what I use for Broadcast.

[tidal geyser]

have you tried this?

[junior merlin]

Yes. Framerate is 60fps. Canvas and output are both 1080p.

[tidal geyser]

im not really sure then as the last nvidia gpu i had was a 1650

[junior merlin]

I mean, could a 9070xt handle dual streams?

[tidal geyser]

always fun dealing with these people.

[tidal geyser]

can the 3080 handle streaming and recording without broadcast?

[junior merlin]

Not sure

Haven't fully tested that yet.

[tidal geyser]

try givn it a go as broadcast is way heavier than it really should be

[pure trellis]

Was 9950x3d2 announced?

[grizzled frost]

not officially, but it's all but confirmed

[pure trellis]

Oh, wasn't on AMD presentation

[grizzled frost]

wait nvm, AMD confirmed it

Well they said it's still a possibility that it will come out

[pure trellis]

Next gen CPU this year or they moved it to 27?

[grizzled frost]

they've not yet said

[pure trellis]

Ok,9950x3d2 can be possibility

[junior merlin]

Just without the RAM for it unless they bring DDR4 support lol

[pure trellis]

It will be 1000+ $ CPU

Is Intel even in 9800x3d competitive range yet?

[grizzled frost]

not even in the 7800x3d range, let alone the 9800x3d

[junior merlin]

Are they even in 5800x3d range?

[grizzled frost]

Yes, above that by a fair amount

[pure trellis]

Yeah,it will be 1k cpu

[grizzled frost]

the 14900k is currently sixth, the top 5 chips are all AMD

[pure trellis]

And drop to 500 as soon as next gen out

[pure trellis]

Wasn't there micro code boos for 285?

[grizzled frost]

That graph is up to date as of January 1st

[pure trellis]

Oh,Intel hadn't pulled out zen moment

[drifting geode]

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/157595207856

is this a good laptop that can run Roblox and Minecraft at full settings and while running one of them I have Spotify, chrome, YouTube and discord in the background?

[grizzled frost]

the 285k is in twelth for the top CPU, 35% behind the 9800x3d

[tidal geyser]

i thought i said yes

[grizzled frost]

i vote you listen to sim

[pure trellis]

If you get 128gb version

[drifting geode]

oh I just wanted to get a little more opinions 😓

[tidal geyser]

ah

[drifting geode]

wait wdym?

[pure trellis]

Both games can eat a lot of ram if you mode or use custom scenarios

[tidal geyser]

i love how this is somehow like 200£ cheaper than a zen 3 8 core mobile cpu and rtx 2050 gaming laptop

[grizzled frost]

they didn't mention modding, and that varies so wildly it's impossible to make any solid recommendations

[tidal geyser]

better than 16GB

[grizzled frost]

though i have hundreds of hours in modded MC with various modpacks and custom modpacks and it's never gone above 32gb even with mods like DH

128gb is the most rage-bait recommendation i've seen in a good minute

[pure trellis]

If truly speaking ,that laptop can be overkill for those tasks

[tidal geyser]

only downside i can see over the gaming laptop might be a bit lower tdp parts maybe not sure but the bigger one is pro drivers they are fine but tends to be kinda slower for stuff like dlss

[drifting geode]

i think under 600 is good for a lsptop

[pure trellis]

Good enough value

[tidal geyser]

if pantherlake was just out now

would be perfect for him

[drifting geode]

the battery doesn't go 100% tho

[pure trellis]

But you can find something newer for that price

[grizzled frost]

yeah there's no gaming drivers for the A2000

[drifting geode]

U sure it isn't too good to be true then?

[grizzled frost]

ebay has solid buyers protection

[drifting geode]

very true

[tidal geyser]

no those are the prices those go for

[grizzled frost]

and that seller has 159 reviews at 100% rating

[pure trellis]

How old is the seller account?

[grizzled frost]

7.5 years

[pure trellis]

Trustful seller

Oh

[tidal geyser]

looks like some guy in a IT department

[grizzled frost]

Looks like it, he has lots of relatively similar laptops for sale, each with their own images

[pure trellis]

Looks like someone got good deal on liquidation deal

[grizzled frost]

he also has a superman pop, so he's a bit of a nerd

[pure trellis]

Those aren't stolen items, right?

[tidal geyser]

no way

when they are like this its a business that just upgraded

[grizzled frost]

I'm gonna be completely honest, that was my first thought, but there's too many oddly shaped items and the shear volume is too much

[tidal geyser]

also

[grizzled frost]

you can get away with a handful of large, oblong items, but you get caught quite quick

[pure trellis]

Oh, refurbishe

[craggy cove]

a tier, apparently

and yeah id think so

[tidal geyser]

easy way to tell legit from stealers tends to if they just sell one brand of laptop or tons of different ones

amazing how Americans cant even keep 1000$ for emergency

[grizzled frost]

vast majority of the US lives paycheck to paycheck

[tidal geyser]

holy shit i did not even read it

[somber zealot]

lol

[ivory mountain]

yes because most people buy out of their means instead of saving

[hybrid tusk]

thank you 🙇‍♂️

[pure trellis]

That's a skill and a half

[cold skiff]

That’s ninken poop

[odd marsh]

womp womp

get over it + move on

[tidal geyser]

WHOA

[tired bear]

pay someone 10k moment

[tidal geyser]

it amazes me people do not use the cloud or have a server at least

[tired bear]

i am not suprised at all

[tidal geyser]

im trying to find the software jeff used

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJiUgAqz1q8

[wary hearth]

Guys guess what!

Im switching to Fedora Linux!

[tidal geyser]

too late i already did

[tired bear]

[tidal geyser]

i just wish there was a non windows OS where wwan and face login just worked

[grizzled frost]

the windows media tool literally shows a confirmation thing if you try and use a big hdd

[tidal geyser]

does it?

[grizzled frost]

Mhm, i have a 5tb usb hdd plugged into my pc and when i've made windows creation tools in the past it requires an extra step

[tidal geyser]

ah yea usb HDD

[grizzled frost]

it flat out won't let you use an internal HDD as far as i know

it greys out the option completely

[tidal geyser]

internal HDD?

all i know is that the install usb ofc cant be deleted nor installed on for obvious reasons

[brave brook]

cell modems (that is what you mean by WWAN i suspect) usually work just fine? Face login i would say is not considered safe

[vestal dirge]

is the 14400F worth $55 more than the 12400F? Is a h610 board enough?

[tidal geyser]

what would be the appropriate way of making cell modem work?

[glossy veldt]

i have an idea gang

[tidal geyser]

also howdy should be simple to setup

just never touched it yet

[glossy veldt]

for 25 american dolas

[tidal geyser]

it looks like a UPS

[glossy veldt]

https://www.sentey.com/en/ss1-2422

BUT IT LOOKS SO COOL

[tidal geyser]

it really does not

it looks like e-waste

[glossy veldt]

i will cram an a2000 in it

[vague glacier]

Fingies crossed this fixes my ME firmware problem

[glossy veldt]

i despise big clunky cases with all my might

[tidal geyser]

so get a moderm mini-itx case

[glossy veldt]

they're expensive

[tidal geyser]

use a carboard box

[glossy veldt]

and i have micro atx only

[glossy veldt]

i'll pass

the only thing i wanted to ask

i currently use the intel stock cooler

is there any decently priced small cooler for lga 1200

[tidal geyser]

yes

[glass perch]

hi sim

[tidal geyser]

check pcpartpicker for your country

https://tenor.com/view/tree-moment-tree-moment-arbol-gif-26948219

[vague glacier]

the next desktop I build will be a mini itx cases. they look so slick

[glass perch]

noo

[glossy veldt]

if this wasn't 180 dollars i'd love it

[vague glacier]

Who knows when that will be though because it seems like all of the hardware companies want to kill the home desktop

[vague glacier]

noctua tax

[tidal geyser]

overpriced

[glass perch]

why is this so expensive

wood

[tidal geyser]

NUC is enough, trust

[glossy veldt]

stupid warship

there's a WORSE intel stock cooler??

[vague glacier]

Nuc is too much. Just plug a OS installed in a USB drive into your PALANTIR approved Monitor and enable eye tracking, stool sampling, and allow tracking of every relative.

[glossy veldt]

i could try cramming this shite here into the case

[earnest solstice]

Do guys have any prediction on the ram prices over the coming 6 months?

[glossy veldt]

it's only $43
