[woeful phoenix]

I made a Ryzen 5 3600, and 2080 build for my nephew

[peak swan]

Chinese computer cpus go mainstream and then it's actually good lol

[dawn saffron]

well they struggle a lot with it lol . might take a while

[rose stream]

And what's funny about that is that Apple... Already uses the same ISA and it outperforms so many things.

[dawn saffron]

damnn

[fringe prairie]

gtx and battlemage wut? i guess gtx for legacy cards but nobody says battlemage ___ to refer to b580 or something

[woeful phoenix]

It was surprisingly only $500

[brazen glen]

Hell yeah

[plain cypress]

PowerVR? Apple stopped using PowerVR a long time ago

[dawn saffron]

i js used google man

[peak swan]

i mean once arm/risc5 goes mainstream then they can properly
because x86 is a duopoly and no one sells licenses

[dawn saffron]

hopefully my chinese friends can help the market

[brazen glen]

Arm is already mainstream but risc5 is going to take decades to have any kind of mass adoption

[rose stream]

They stopped using off-the-shelf designs by Imagination and just developed their own. It's the same ISA at the core however for their igpu arches.

[dawn saffron]

given that they have like a few hundred millions of factory workers and all the silicon in their country . imagine how cheap computers can get 😁

unless the chinese also invest into AI .

[fringe prairie]

VIA does have an x86 license i believe

[dawn saffron]

then yea im going back to sending letters via postman

[tidal geyser]

Moorethreads is a pure AI gpu maker RN

[brazen glen]

There are enough Chinese factories to do it all tbh

[rose stream]

Zhaoxin got from them.

In fact, I believe they have stake or at least bought out VIA entirely to my recall.

[brazen glen]

I think that license was taken away or something

Like didn’t they try some fuckery with that

[woeful phoenix]

$75 16GB DDR4

https://tenor.com/view/apka-attack-cat-attack-gif-13439615

i really need to stop buying desktop computers

[rose stream]

I don't recall what happened with that. I know there was a dispute for licensing between one of their major CPU makers, Loongson, and MIPS a while back for their stuff.

[tidal geyser]

case?

[woeful phoenix]

Not bad for $500, The mobo allows him to upgrade his CPU to a 5800X3D if he wants, Any GPU will be fine and of course ram/ memory upgrades

[woeful phoenix]

Lian Li A3

[tidal geyser]

"he mobo allows him to upgrade his CPU to a 5800X3D"
yes but uh seen the price and it aint getting better considering its not been made for a wee while

[peak swan]

mainstream outside phones and macs

[woeful phoenix]

Obviously used

[tidal geyser]

no shit

again not been made for 2 years

[woeful phoenix]

Doesnt matter lol, if anything that will decrease the price more

[tidal geyser]

have you seen its price rn?

[swift stream]

thinking of getting a ryujin lll 240mm now lol

[tidal geyser]

its amds best gaming cpu that supports ddr4

[peak swan]

you know how hard it is to kill a cpu?

[tidal geyser]

am4 PGA

[rose stream]

They are starting to take a huge chunk of MIPS still existing market share though.

[peak swan]

which means used cpus are fine to buy

[woeful phoenix]

Never said they werent

[tidal geyser]

anyhow the prices for em are insane and probs not gonna become better as 5800X3D will 101% become collector items

[swift stream]

ryujin is rated s tier on ltt's lists

[tidal geyser]

best how

[woeful phoenix]

AIOs 💤

[tidal geyser]

last time i checked a 9950X could be cooled within like 3% performance difference vs the best aio money can buy or smn

[swift stream]

i currently use an air cooler, i just want more fans and a lcd display

[tidal geyser]

air cooler

[swift stream]

air cooler is too big

[rose stream]

S m a l l

[woeful phoenix]

People who put screens in their PCs lowkey goofy

[tidal geyser]

my pc is under desk, where it belongs

[swift stream]

i only want it for future proofing, and mine i under desk

[rose stream]

Mine is behind my monitor where I won't see it anyway.

[tidal geyser]

wait what

"i only want it for future proofing"

[woeful phoenix]

Take a pic

How the heck is it behind your monitor

[tidal geyser]

big desk

[rose stream]

This is what my setup looks like basically.

[swift stream]

my white air cooler turned gray

[woeful phoenix]

That still doesnt make sense. I wanna see

[rose stream]

Oh... It didn't post.

[tidal geyser]

pleas clean your pc

[rose stream]

Hold up...

[sinful cobalt]

never cook again

[swift stream]

it isn't dust, its thermal paste actually 🤓

[tidal geyser]

wtf

[woeful phoenix]

Untilt your monitor and why tf do you have a desk mic

[tidal geyser]

future proof with a thing that is known to only last like like 3 years or sometimes even less.

[swift stream]

i don't use gloves 🥰

[swift stream]

6 year warranty

[tidal geyser]

that would do nothing also how the thermalpaste is under the cooler

[tidal geyser]

gonna have to go trough a lot of AIOs

also what happens if it were to leak

the warranty is only for the AIO itself

[woeful phoenix]

All my AIOs gave out before 6 years. I wouldnt deal with ts for no difference in cooling performance.

[tidal geyser]

cooling performance there are but actual performance there aint a lot of the time

[swift stream]

thermal paste is on cpu but got some residue on heatsink

[rose stream]

• Screw THAT, my monitor stays the way I want it, even if it makes the gravity of your house feel like an incline.
• Because I bought a better mic than what I have been living with so far... Which was a webcam mic and a Dualsense mic.

[woeful phoenix]

Headset mics mog

[rose stream]

No. I do not want such.

And most of those headsets suck in quality compared to my current cans anyway.

[woeful phoenix]

Audiophiles 😴

[swift stream]

blackshark for the win fr

[tidal geyser]

good headphones make you jump when someone whispers behind a person in a video

[woeful phoenix]

Razer

Razer fucking blows

[rose stream]

Yeah-naww, mine's too cheap to qualify and I don't have an infinite budget for scams. This is what I have btw.
#tech-chat-2 message

[swift stream]

the headsets that DON'T require the software are actually pretty decent tho

[woeful phoenix]

The best peripherals Ive ever bought:

[tidal geyser]

no headphones should need software to work

[woeful phoenix]

Getting 300 hours on a headset charge is amazing

Plus wireless without charging is the goat

[tidal geyser]

i cannot fathom how that is possible

[swift stream]

my blackshark v2 x only requires realtek audio drivers

[rose stream]

Also, clarity. After my ownership for the first time ever with studio cans (ATH-M30x), it was hard going back to the regular stuff.

[woeful phoenix]

Im pretty sure it has 2 batteries, one in each side

Its fucking goated though

[rose stream]

Not even a headphone dongle either, which is what drives my headphones.

[woeful phoenix]

No, thats where youre wrong headphone dongles are goated

Better than bluetooth

[rose stream]

I didn't say they weren't good??

[swift stream]

how even did they get the name bluetooth

[rose stream]

And no, Bluetooth is a pain in the ass.

[tidal geyser]

wat

[woeful phoenix]

I thought you were saying they shouldnt have a dongle

[rose stream]

Dude... I'd rather say don't do wireless at all then recommend against it.

[woeful phoenix]

Bluetooth is named after a viking

TIL

[valid sphinx]

Anyone willing to trade 1 stick of 16gb ecc rdimm for 16gb ecc udimm ? 1 16gb or two 8gb is fine ..

[rose stream]

Unless they solve the latency challenges, I wouldn't use it full time.

[stray portal]

Yo yo yo give me mouse suggestions

[rose stream]

wat

[woeful phoenix]

Budget?

[swift stream]

just download you some more ram 😔 /s

Registered dimm for unbuffered ..

[tidal grove]

Cpu: Ryzen 7 7700
Ram: 32gb Corsair ddr5
Motherboard: MSI pro B650M-B
Psu: given 650w gold
Gpu: currently using igpu

A 9060xt and 7800xt is the same price in my country,I was thinking going for the 7800xt since it's god better performance I think (both have 16gb vram).

My goal: 1080p gaming with max settings and achieving bare minimum 60 fps without any fsr or smth.

Is the psu good what I have rn ?
Thanks!

[swift stream]

this is more than enough for 1080p 60fps

[tidal grove]

Ion mind more fps

Monitor is 100hz

[woeful phoenix]

On an IGPU? LOL

[swift stream]

no like my 6750 xt runs 1440p at a solid 120-144 fps on medium-high settings

[tidal grove]

I just wanna play Spider-Man 2, Forza 6 when it comes out at 1080p maximum settings

[stray portal]

After lookiing for a lil these are my options

[woeful phoenix]

what country

[swift stream]

he said the 9060 xt and 7800 xt

[woeful phoenix]

Ah I only saw him say IGPU

[tidal grove]

@swift stream if I get this exact model of 7800xt,will I have any psu related issues ?

[valid sphinx]

Registered ecc dimm swap for udimm ecc ..

[tidal grove]

I'm on igpu rn, planning to get a gpu soon

[woeful phoenix]

You trying to trade ram, jesus. Pick up context clues.

Noones gonna do that here.

[rose stream]

^Bingo

[stray portal]

Not in stock anymore also im trying to avoid logitech i had their products break on me before in less than 2 months of use

[woeful phoenix]

Logitech is goated, what product and why didnt you file a warranty claim?

They sent me a new mouse instantly when mine had a scratched sensor. I didnt even have to send the old one back.

As someone who has used both razer and logitech for a long time logitech is the way to go. You got a faulty unit most likely which happens. Same thing happened to me with the Razer Naga Pro

[valid sphinx]

lol I should of figured oh well might as well toss this i16gn ecc ram module in the trash and buy a 128gb kit …

[sinful cobalt]

logitech? goated? pack it up

[oblique jay]

Anyone got an easy suggestion for a 27" oled in the UK at ~£500?

Currently on AOC AG276QZD2 27" QD-OLED (1440p 240Hz). Had it for a year but getting it returned cos its missing the vesa adapter, only noticed recently cos I just got a dual arm
Other annoying thing is that the power / settings button is behind the screen so with dual setup its quite awkward to access

Ideally want similar spec to what Im already on

I dont game for long hours like I used to but still appreciate nice hz, also using for music production

[woeful phoenix]

L ragebait

Logitech is the best for mice no contest

[sinful cobalt]

yeah nice joke

[oblique jay]

cant lie I tried the g503 and it was garbage

[sinful cobalt]

dk bout u but jokes are meant to be funny

[woeful phoenix]

As if gacha players would know anything about mice, they dont even play games

[neat viper]

i need a hand figuring out why my games are utilizing so much of my cpu and not my gpu 9900kf 32gb 2133 3060ti 1tb m.2

[woeful phoenix]

Because the settings arent high enough, or the game is CPU intensive.

If you have GPU headroom up the settings/ resolution.

[stray portal]

Yall im getting ts

[sinful cobalt]

ive tried a g503, superlight, superlight 2 and dex, they all kept the inherent same shape with the razer viper V3 pro and they just arent outstanding in any aspect

[woeful phoenix]

Nothing beats it.

Also power play mogs

[neat viper]

im mainly having the issue in arc raiders, and can barely keep 60fps no matter what settings i run

[woeful phoenix]

show your settings, usage and temps

[sinful cobalt]

yeah sure you cant edit ur mouse without internet connection on ghub

[stray portal]

Power play is kinda useless cuz u have wire to mousepad

[stray portal]

Yeah ive heard the superlight is kinda ahh nowadays

[sinful cobalt]

logitech has the biggest falloff along with razer

[stray portal]

Razer made ai hologram slop 🤑

[woeful phoenix]

Wtf are you yapping about

[sinful cobalt]

game’s prob very CPU intensive, increasing your graphical wont help with a struggling CPU

[neat viper]

ill have to save a recording and send it to you, dont have any atm, when i do look my usage is 45-60% on gpu 75-90 on cpu and neithers temps are getting above 70c even at max load

[stray portal]

Hey atleast its not armoury crate 😟

Horror software

[sinful cobalt]

armoury crate is straight to the trash

[woeful phoenix]

Latest GPU drivers?

[woeful phoenix]

Are you trolling?

[brave brook]

Bitspower WTF

just why

[woeful phoenix]

Still waiting for you to address this lie

[stray portal]

Whats the point of wireless if you have wires mousepad

[sinful cobalt]

this guy is peak overconfidence being a logitech slave

[stray portal]

Just use batteries theyre superior

[woeful phoenix]

So you dont have to charge your mouse?... Or use it wires?...

[woeful phoenix]

Ok you have no idea wtf youre talking about

[neat viper]

no, one release old im updating now though

[woeful phoenix]

Thats what I thought, no counter arugment pipe down rage baiter

[stray portal]

If you have to plug in to charge its not truly wireless

[sinful cobalt]

Sure peasant

[woeful phoenix]

You dont have to plug in the mouse?...

Im not using the fucking mouse pad to aim lol

[sinful cobalt]

[stray portal]

If wire affects ur aim its either horrible mouse or horrible player

whats next you gonna call me a ragebaiter again and say something along the lines of “the cpu works less and the gpu works more instead?”

[brave brook]

you know what will be fun ? 2029

[tidal geyser]

Wtf they reset my phone

[fallow tundra]

For the cheapest ram options i have seen on an online store, which brand and product line would yall think has great quality for ddr4?
Kingston FURY or G.Skill Aegis?

[brave brook]

both are fine

[ivory mountain]

Yeah the thermalright i showed is $60 and performs better than both thats why i recommended it

[fallow tundra]

Which one would you recommend tho

[tidal geyser]

Ffs all my old stuff is gone

[fallow tundra]

Furies have heatsink, aegis doesnt

If that matters

[brave brook]

the cheaper

[fallow tundra]

Theyre both the same price 😭

[brave brook]

or the one with better clock/CL

[fallow tundra]

In terms of quality/longevity

Ik them dw

[brave brook]

zero difference

[fallow tundra]

I mean if you had to choose one option, which one would you take

Im just not sure on which one to choose

Some other peple said g skill is their option

[brave brook]

you are asking a person who has Ripjaws V, Trident Z RGB, Kingston Fury, some Samsung OEM RDIMM, random Kingstom value RAM in DDR4 😄

none of them failed, none of them have issues

[fallow tundra]

How long have you been using them?

Kingston ones specifically

[kindred halo]

I think I can temporarily circumvent the ram issues!!

15 Dollar adapter, I can use my 8GB of SODIMM DDR4 as a stopgap :3

[brave brook]

the current ones ? Probably 4-5 years ? Gskill 7 years? I had RAM from all manucaturers, really the only issue i ever had was some Corsair DDR3 in 2010 when they sent a mismatched set

[fallow tundra]

Yeah, have seen a vid about that, adapters tend to be not that great

[brave brook]

in terms of you have to go with lower clocks. But ehy work

8GB at DDR4-2133 or 2666 instead of 3200 is still better than 0GB RAM at no clock

[tidal geyser]

anyone know of a good use for a old phone that has been wiped of all your memories.

[kindred halo]

Well.. It's only 15 dollars

[tidal geyser]

nah ok tis not that bad at least i backed up my photos but that was kind all i managed to do 🙁

[kindred halo]

It's better than not having ANY sort of RAM

[brave brook]

with android or can flash postmarketos ?

[tidal geyser]

what

[brave brook]

postmarketos => you can use it as mini server, for example for HA. with android only => probably a webcam ?

[tidal geyser]

i already have a ML350 gen 10

just got a power cable so i can slap in a real gpu

[brave brook]

https://postmarketos.org/ i mean you can put Linux on some phones

[brave brook]

edge pro is a 2024 phone. Just use it as a phone?

[tidal geyser]

i bought a new phone since the repair took 3 months

[random gyro]

Sell it?

🤯

[brave brook]

keep it as backup phone?

[random gyro]

Im sure someone will buy it

[tidal geyser]

i feel like its just gonna break again

i should also test if it even works right

at least its charging now

wut

hmm

[tidal geyser]

here is the big one

tbf the 512GB m3 studio is like 10k

[brave brook]

96GB Apple Mac Studio will cost a lot tho (equivalent to 4x 3090)

[tidal geyser]

will it tho and then the power price

[void sapphire]

3x3090 is 1,394$ On my country (Second handed)

[brave brook]

96GB M3 Ultra Mac Studio is 4800 euros

[tidal geyser]

jebus

[brave brook]

4x 3090 is like 2400 euros

[somber zealot]

that’s a 5090!

[tidal geyser]

we do not even know what he wants to run

[somber zealot]

and uh a bit more

[brave brook]

even with 1000 euros for the rest of the system, you are looking at another 1400 euros to kill in electricity

Would 4k DLSS Performance look a ton better than 1440p Quality?

And would they run similar

[tidal geyser]

use DLSS L

[molten sleet]

i think peroformance mode @ 4k would be like 1080p upscaled to 4k right?

[woeful phoenix]

Yes

1440p quality is 960p

[molten sleet]

is this for tarkov

[tidal geyser]

wat

this is for dlss 4.5??

[molten sleet]

tarkov is the only game i've seen dlss settings referred to with letters

upscaling on transformer v2

Would 4k Performance be similar in FPS as 1440p quality?

[fierce sandal]

I decided to go with the 9070xt model. Just cause it’s the current gen.

Also
The gpu on it is the RX 9070XT Sapphire Nitro+

I’ve heard some
Burnt stuff about the cable soo
Should I be worried now 🫠🫠

[lapis gull]

Get a new cable

[tidal geyser]

what

the cable is not the problem

[stray portal]

Just ordered the basilisk v3 idek if its not wireless its just so good

[fierce sandal]

Now this is what I saw on Reddit 😂

[lapis gull]

Fine. Get a psu with thermal protection. On the 12 rail.

[tidal geyser]

all of the pc is on the 12v rail

[fierce sandal]

Oh yea
Forgot to mention
He’s got the Seasonic PRIME Ultra Platinum 1300W (80+Platinum)

Psu

He also said the gpu was purchased mid 2025
So it’s got warranty

[kindred halo]

Tbh I'd pay that even if it's not working

[tidal geyser]

untested means defective

The gpu is the problem then? Should they get a new gpu?

[tidal geyser]

yea one with a tried and true connector

[tidal geyser]

this looks like its only bidding and is still 8 days left

[lapis gull]

They are already getting the card.... Yes there are cases of the cable melting because of the 12V-2x6 connector. But the pc has already been used by their buddy so they should most likely be fine.

scammer ass seller

"i tested with only 1 stick :)"

how do i fix my phone saying chinese

[frigid blade]

Turn it off

[random gyro]

o wait nvm

i accidently did something

yeah i fixed it thx

also would you guys recommending the brand 'lenovo or 'hp'

for buying a laptop

i looked into macs but it kind of overpriced

[ivory mountain]

i dont think the lcd aio was the best choice financially for this build

[somber zealot]

looks good though

[ivory mountain]

no it doesnt

[craggy cove]

well now i know after buying a chinesium b550m

could i jugg somebody and sell it for 75 like this

2 ram slots work in a 4 slot board :)

yummers

[daring crystal]

how many motherboard drivers can i install before this windows 10 install kills itself

soyo, gigabyte, asus, asrock, msi

[weak condor]

Such an interesting choice to run the AIO pipes that way

[pure trellis]

Someone dropping windows 10 support?

[craggy cove]

supported for a year more here

(if i connect a microsoft account)

[hallow jasper]

👌

[swift stream]

thinking about getting this 😔

[ivory mountain]

Whyyyy

[woeful phoenix]

If you wanna waste money just send it to me

[ivory mountain]

Thats what i said lol i mentioned the thermalright aio

Literally the same aio for $60

The white one is $61 😭

[swift stream]

thermalright logo is just recolored windows

i also have a asus rog motherboard so it works out

[ivory mountain]

$200 for a mid aio just bc it has a screen is ludicrous

[swift stream]

but it has 6 year warranty

[ivory mountain]

thermalrights warranty is 5 years for most of their aios

[swift stream]

according to ltt forums ryujin ll was in top tier for aios

[woeful phoenix]

Everlight stop asking for help and just buy whatever its obvious you dont actually want help or good info

Its a waste of money. If you want to waste it go ahead just stop posting about it

[ivory mountain]

or look at actual reputable graphs and youll see the ryujin doesnt even come close to top 10 in any test

[tidal geyser]

and i suspect you will pair it with a 9800X3D?

[ivory mountain]

i mean buy what you want but if you dont want build advice i cant provide it

[swift stream]

nah wtf would i do that, 7600x it is 🙏 😛

[shell crow]

[tidal geyser]

a lot more pop

[woeful phoenix]

Miniled mogs

[shell crow]

wallet doesnt

[tidal geyser]

me so essited to get the hinge for the OLED laptop

[gleaming rose]

who even gives a shit bro

[ivory mountain]

so ur buying an aio that costs as much as your cpu vs one that performs the same, has the same screen, and has a 5 year warranty thats $120 cheaper

[swift stream]

i am actually thinking about these fans

[gleaming rose]

OLED is great and it's getting cheap

[tidal geyser]

worst or maybe best time for it to become cheap

[ivory mountain]

id get arctic p12 pro/s or if you want ring rgb the bequiet light wings lx

[swift stream]

i alr have a thermalright psu, but an asus mobo...

[woeful phoenix]

Mini led mogs

[gleaming rose]

like idek what mini led does better

[ivory mountain]

what does having an asus mobo have to do with the aio tho im confused

[swift stream]

asus ecosystem

[woeful phoenix]

Not burn in

[gleaming rose]

this is literally not even an issue

[woeful phoenix]

Except it is

[gleaming rose]

just don't leave your screen on, and turn on anti burn in if it's available

[ivory mountain]

uhm okay well enjoy then i guess

[gleaming rose]

*it's an issue if you're irresponsible

[woeful phoenix]

Thats not how it works.

[swift stream]

someone said nzxt was worse

[gleaming rose]

a butane torch is dangerous if you bang it on a metal pike and then ignite it twin

[tidal geyser]

not tested it much but i got a WELL used oled laptop and it still looks perfect

[woeful phoenix]

Even Monitors Unboxed recommends Mini LED over OLED when doing anything other than gaming and media consumption

[gleaming rose]

it literally is

[ivory mountain]

nzxt aios are ass and so are asus aios

[gleaming rose]

also...screensavers

[woeful phoenix]

Its not. It will burn in the windows taskbar. Even with OLED protection/ rejuvination

[gleaming rose]

well that's your problem for using windows ngl

[ivory mountain]

i need to buy an oled eventually

[woeful phoenix]

Let me rephrase. It will burn in any static elements

[gleaming rose]

dark mode helps too

[woeful phoenix]

I love when people talk out their ass, always funny to me

[tidal geyser]

i just uh make it so its not up when its not needed since like its not needed

[gleaming rose]

yeah or this

[tidal geyser]

no matter what i do i always allow the task bar to hide

like why tf is it not automatic

[gleaming rose]

personally if I ever am not using my computer I turn off my display

[tidal geyser]

should be doing that automatically

[gleaming rose]

mine does

[woeful phoenix]

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

[gleaming rose]

but I do it manually before the automatic kicks in

[tidal geyser]

oled monitors also do a panel refresh after a few hrs

[tidal geyser]

why do you have the super old one

[gleaming rose]

"deliberately burning in"
well no fucking shit it's gonna burn in

[woeful phoenix]

Hes "Deliberately" burning it in by using it for productivity lmao

Not just leaving it on running

[gleaming rose]

it makes me uncomfortable to not see a task bar or anything on my screen when I'm staring at a desktop but I keep everything on my screen dark

[tidal geyser]

i will have to be fair at one of the points that happened to him, he does middle split for some apps and that burn in was bad enough he thought his footage was bad

[woeful phoenix]

They even say "Unless youre using your monitor for 70% gaming/ media consumption dont buy oled"

[tidal geyser]

aka early OLEDs are like any early product it will have issues

just be smart about how you use it

[swift stream]

better than current ram prices 😔

[tidal geyser]

like you cant treat your electric car the same way you do a gas one

[woeful phoenix]

How do you know how much better newer OLEDs are lol? There hasnt been time to test it

[gleaming rose]

yeah

[woeful phoenix]

IPS MiniLED gets just as good picture quality if not better sometimes.

[tidal geyser]

first of all no shit secondly mate its a pretty clear trend as OLED has now been long enough to see that

[gleaming rose]

don't be a dunce and enjoy the beautiful picture from an OLED

[woeful phoenix]

Only thing you really lose out on is response time which isnt going to when you fights lil bro

[woeful phoenix]

MiniLED mogs

[tidal geyser]

OLED feels so different

[woeful phoenix]

Show me data that backs it up

Oh wait you cant

[pure trellis]

Is that hotdog on hotdog?

[gleaming rose]

coolest thing ever

[pure trellis]

Not false

[woeful phoenix]

Imagine using a monitor for less than 2 years and it already has a permanant line in it even when youre using the oled refresher as it says

[gleaming rose]

imagine hating on something for the sole purpose of trying to be different bro 🙏🏻 😭

[fringe prairie]

bad take after bad take with this guy

[swift stream]

the ryujin lll 360 extreme was regarded as best performing but had noise issues

[woeful phoenix]

Imagine not knowing the actual downsides of an OLED

[pure trellis]

Sounds like avg office time spend

[gleaming rose]

I know the downsides and I know that if you take care of it they can be avoided

if you're so chronically on your computer it becomes an issue that's on you boo

[woeful phoenix]

Except the video I just showed you proves youre wrong

[gleaming rose]

like a car

[woeful phoenix]

Because he takes care of the OLED

[pure trellis]

Let's me guess,it about burn in

[fringe prairie]

yes

[tidal geyser]

https://sid.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1889/JSID16.11.1125

[swift stream]

what about corsair

[gleaming rose]

BAHAHA
w sim

[ivory mountain]

can you tell me what the issue with the thermalright is first

[gleaming rose]

worse

[tidal geyser]

eh ok that one is not that great leme try and find a better one

but it is pretty clear when manufacturers offer multi year burn in warranty i do feel safe what most people even the ones that torture modern OLEDs should be fine

[swift stream]

i alr have a thermalright psu, main issue is aesthetic which is prob the only reason i would ever get a aio tbh

the display screen format looks kinda weird with how some of them show stats over gif

[ivory mountain]

u can choose between stats or gif lol

[thin bloom]

My pc part is here! I'm so excited right now. Hope it work's🤞

[ivory mountain]

🔥

[woeful phoenix]

Mini LED mogs in brightness too

[swift stream]

ik but the asus one also uses a 8th gen asetek pump and has a embedded fan in pump

[tidal geyser]

ef

[woeful phoenix]

https://youtu.be/nbJGp_o1yPM?t=206

[tidal geyser]

can it do what was it 4500 nits?

aka what i believe some of the latest displays at CES can do

[ivory mountain]

do u even know what any of this means

[pure trellis]

Ok,at what nits you starting to get eye damage?

[gleaming rose]

800ish is good enough for most larger electronics

more than enough even

[tidal geyser]

your eyes can mostly adapt to anything its more about it being sudden

[swift stream]

better cooling and flow

[gleaming rose]

i'm so excited for the x1 carbon gen 14

i will sell my PC closer to march

[tidal geyser]

the gen 14 should be pretty amazing

only downer is the 30w chip

[ivory mountain]

no it just means its an average watercooling pump and you dont need to pay a $120 premium for it

[gleaming rose]

haptic touchpad, gen 3 intel, oled

[gleaming rose]

wdym

[tidal geyser]

the intel chip only gets 30w total

[gleaming rose]

😭

[tidal geyser]

ikr

[gleaming rose]

is that like really bad or just eh

i mean the aura edition

[tidal geyser]

not sure how pantherlake will scale

[gleaming rose]

i'm gonna miss the gpu power

[swift stream]

asetek is considered higher end

[pure trellis]

Has Intel given release date for new gen?

[ivory mountain]

no its not 😭

[tidal geyser]

asatek is considered the only legal pump in cpu block for like what 20 years or something but the patent finally finally ended

[swift stream]

i meant to put the version number 😭

[tidal geyser]

also AIOs almost cost nothing to make considering thermalright is over there with a screen and all dat for almost nothing

[gleaming rose]

well it's 30w sustained, idk if they're limiting it

[pure trellis]

Oh, January 27 for panther lake

[gleaming rose]

it's a small battery, idek if it'll be enough for me

[tidal geyser]

yup, allows me to be a bit extra lazy about selling stuff

[ivory mountain]

if u didnt scroll up they want the asus ryujin over the thermalright aio i sent bc they have an asus mobo

[gleaming rose]

but i really want a lenovo thinkpad series laptop

[kindred halo]

Searching for Thinkpads from 700 USD upto 1600 USD and the only ones having screens better than 45% NTSC has saddened me

I am now going to sleep

[gleaming rose]

i need my nipple

[tidal geyser]

i got the gen 9 and ehh im not the biggest fan but its only able to hold like 30wh or smn rn

[kindred halo]

Goodnight people, I am disappointed in you Lenovo

[tidal geyser]

just gonna save this

[gleaming rose]

maybe i don't, acer has a nice looking offering too that also has a haptic touchpad

[kindred halo]

It's one of the only reasons I didn't just buy a gaming laptop
The trackpoint is essential for daily use

[gleaming rose]

EXACTLY

this is also something to watch

[tidal geyser]

for me its a nice to have

[gleaming rose]

i'm going to watch this harder

[swift stream]

i have a thermalright psu and a air cooler i just think the asus one looks classier

[gleaming rose]

oh wait this one lacks a nipple

[pure trellis]

M5 this year or next?

[tidal geyser]

aint ther already one

or what do you mean m5

[ivory mountain]

okay well stop asking for advice if ur not gonna listen, buy what u want

[tidal geyser]

its a like 30$ or something cooler with some extra plastic on it

[pure trellis]

5 gen for Apple silicon chip for laptop and desktop

[gleaming rose]

the x1 carbon is also repairable this year which is a big deal

god it's gonna be so fucking expensive at launch

[tidal geyser]

i almost managed to replace my pd chip

[gleaming rose]

i'll have to ask lenovo if they can give me any grace because tbh even if i sell my PC no way in hell i'm affording it

[tidal geyser]

did they not launch m5 last summer

[gleaming rose]

yeah m5 is out

[pure trellis]

Oh,we already on 5

[tidal geyser]

everything i know of got m5 refreshes

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/super-bowl-live-under-a-rock-thats-enough-no-more-work-gif-16220317

[pure trellis]

So,when m6 or m5 too young

[pure trellis]

It's Apple,who cares

[tidal geyser]

most editors

or tbh a lot of people as apple stuff tends to just work with most stuff

it does not feel like it to us due to the amount of strange stuff we do

[gleaming rose]

the ThinkPad X9 15p Aura Edition but with a trackpoint would be peak

[pure trellis]

Oh,imac still on m4

[gleaming rose]

i may have to skip out on my trackpoint and cry about it

[thin bloom]

Well it some what works now?

[gleaming rose]

the battery is just so small i may have to skip out on the trackpoint if i'm smart

[tidal geyser]

why cpu no cooling

[gleaming rose]

the x9 15p aura edition has a nice build, nice screen and big battery

[pure trellis]

Touch CPU,is it getting hot

[tidal geyser]

put ram in slot 2 and 4

[tidal geyser]

did you just not listen to it?

he turned it off at the end due to it getting too hot

[gleaming rose]

i mean it's just so gorgeous

[pure trellis]

Oh,there is sound

[gleaming rose]

FUCK ME DUDE
why does this company hate me

[thin bloom]

I was touching the cpu. I didn't have a cooler on it. I said in the vid before ending it that the cpu started to overheat

[tidal geyser]

get some 3rd gen intel thing and patch the kernal until you have better performance than pantherlake

[gleaming rose]

truth be told i do really want an apple macbook-like laptop, maybe i should just cope without the trackpoint

but it's so useful 😭

[pure trellis]

Oh,they pushed laptops to march

[gleaming rose]

yea'

[tidal geyser]

i so badly want a 99.9wh pantherlake laptop

[gleaming rose]

88wh is good

[tidal geyser]

i want all the capacity

[gleaming rose]

it's better than the tiny battery in the x1 carbon

[tidal geyser]

yeeeaa

i love wh as its so easy to calculate with

[gleaming rose]

though it does only weigh less than 1kg

[tidal geyser]

yea i LOVE how light my x1 is

[pure trellis]

Oh, wait what's series 3?

[tidal geyser]

never held a laptop like it before

[tidal geyser]

core ultra 300 aka pantherlake

[pure trellis]

Intel changed naming again?

[tidal geyser]

mobile only

[thin bloom]

I wonder if this board is faulty? It seems like pc is booting find but has no display

[gleaming rose]

the acer swift 16 ai 2026 looks incredible

[tidal geyser]

100 was mobile only 200 desktop and mobile 300 mobile only and 400 probs gonna be both agan

[tidal geyser]

maybe put on a cooler?

[pure trellis]

So,which cheap in series 3 it is or they just calling all of ultra 9 in line?

Oh, it's ultra x9 now

[gleaming rose]

not as good as the x9 15p

[tidal geyser]

still a while until you can buy em

[true stirrup]

What CPU?

[tidal geyser]

7700k i would imagine

[pure trellis]

I am not getting it,which chip it will be

[tidal geyser]

again put ram in slot 2 and 4

[tidal geyser]

aaahhh yes the x stuff, yea no not sure why they did that

[gleaming rose]

i wonder how the keyboards are on the acer laptops

because i love lenovo keebs

[thin bloom]

https://tenor.com/view/terminator-alive-oh-no-liquid-metal-gif-14033115

ok the x9 15p is a way better laptop

and it's lenovo so linucks

[tidal geyser]

fedora does not like x1

[pure trellis]

Wait,there will be 2 battle mage model for panther lake,and both have same GPU core count?!

[gleaming rose]

who gives a shit about fedora

[thin bloom]

No

[pure trellis]

OEM only installs Ubuntu,at this point

[thin bloom]

Is this the right configuration?

[true stirrup]

It is but even if it wasn't it should be an issue

[pure trellis]

Check manual for motherboard

[harsh whale]

Ah, it was just abusing tf out of one core

[tidal geyser]

it even says it on the moterboard

[thin bloom]

I will have to look it up. It didn't come with one

[pure trellis]

Oh, right,they writing it on motherboard now

[thin bloom]

https://tenor.com/view/oh-asdfmovie-surprise-casual-gif-26186654

[tidal geyser]

2 and 4 is right

[thin bloom]

From me having the button battery out it's taking longer to boot. So now I have to find my old boards battery and put it into the good board

[tidal geyser]

you just reset the bios, first boot will take a bit extra time

https://tenor.com/view/dont-jump-jump-dont-eveonline-pubg-gif-14979603

[thin bloom]

I don't want to put the cpu cooler on but i have to do with it taking forever to setup bios

[tidal geyser]

you should always have some kinda heat sinking thing on top

[tight heart]

Hey, I have an idea that's probably overthinking things but I would like to ask
I have a spare SATA 250GB 2.5" SSD and I kinda want to get back into League but Vanguard can eat one.
Would it be possible to have a Win11 install (probably an Atlas or some other reduced solution) on that SATA drive, unmount all my other drives from it, and run League like that?
All this while keeping my current install as it is. Just changing what to boot from when I start my PC if I want to play League

[tidal geyser]

yes

i do not believe atlas would work as i have heard it makes too many changes

but worst case just reinstall normal windows

[tight heart]

Hmmm... I have also seen some online utility that creates a config for special installs, I might have to dig that up

Thanks, I'll look into it over the weekend ❤️

[supple flare]

Just bought a mini pc, and I swear they just slapped the stock AMI bios on it.

There’s easily 1000+ configurable settings, I have never seen so many options in my life.

You can tune literally every part of it, it’s actually crazy. Like individually enable features on the CPU each chipset on the board.

There’s something fucking called “Wake on Voice”??????

[tight heart]

(this is the utility I was looking for btw)
https://schneegans.de/windows/unattend-generator/

[supple flare]

I would recommend using the official Microsoft tool (WSIM), as it allows for significantly more customization. It’s the official way to generate Unattend.xml files.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/customize/desktop/wsim/windows-system-image-manager-technical-reference

[tight heart]

Thanks, I'll check this out as well

[supple flare]

Though it is noticeably more verbose. Depends if you have ever dealt with the windows ADK.

[pulsar obsidian]

Dynamic frame gen is amazing thanks Nvidia

[molten crypt]

is the msi rtx 5070 ti ventus 3x oc a 'good' rtx 5070 ti card? is there a performace difference between different 5070 tis by different brands?

[frigid blade]

I prefer writing my own unattend.xml files by hand

[supple flare]

Can’t tell if you’re joking haha

[frigid blade]

https://github.com/DanielChrobak/Hyper-V-GPU-Manager/blob/main/GPU-PV-Manager.ps1#L28

Check out that line and after it hahaha

[cosmic idol]

The in game performance difference is within margin of error for the most part
It more comes down to cooling of components

[molten crypt]

should i buy this card? its the cheapest one available

[cosmic idol]

Which one?

[molten crypt]

msi ventus 3x oc

[cosmic idol]

Oh Ventus 3x

[warm saddle]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1456590323806371951/1457033473599471686/togif.gif

To be fair, that’s a fairly minimal Unattend file. When you start customizing the super in depth settings it grows to hundreds of lines.

[tidal geyser]

I'm bored

[thin bloom]

I suck at military time. I'm trying to set the boards time. It's currently 2:37 pm

And Google isn't helping

[tidal geyser]

"military time" 🙁

[grizzled nova]

1437

[tidal geyser]

that number

+1

[ivory mountain]

aka normal time everywhere else

[tidal geyser]

imagine the amount of times people have mistaken am and pm

[grizzled nova]

If am
0HMM
If pm
Am+12H

I use 24 hour clock even in the us

[thin bloom]

This cooler really works well. I wonder how cool the cpu would be in the case at idle with no case fans on?

[grizzled nova]

It’s just superior

[grizzled nova]

Heat saturation

[cosmic idol]

I personally wouldn’t get one cos I hate how they look
As for cooling - not amazing but probably enough. Have a look at some comparison videos on YouTube

[thin bloom]

Fans are only spinning around 1'130 to 1,140 rpm and I have it set to performance mode

[grizzled nova]

Which cooler

[thin bloom]

This is how big the cooler is. It's the phantom spirit 120 se argb model

[grizzled nova]

Ah yes solid cooler

[tidal geyser]

Only

120mm fans do those speeds yea

[thin bloom]

The board has minor damage. 2 tabs were bent but I accidentally broke one while trying to fix it. So far it's the only damage I see

[tidal geyser]

Can you show where on the board it's damaged, that is just a Io shield and does not do anything

[craggy cove]

beautiful bios

[craggy cove]

my sheet of metal!

[grizzled nova]

What device is this

[thin bloom]

I was talking about the io shield

[craggy cove]

soyo b550m

[grizzled nova]

I’ve never heard of soyo

[tidal geyser]

Well that does not matter

Iv seen a lot of people just cut all the tabs

[thin bloom]

I love this feature

[grizzled nova]

I looked at all of my drives and they just said Toshiba
So i looked up who they sourced their drives from
Apperantly they make their own drives

And everything else ever

[thin bloom]

Now I just need to get a 12v 4 pin adapter to plug my case fan lights into it

[craggy cove]

soyo used to be bigger 15 years ago or so

now they make aliexpress motherboards

[exotic cape]

Would we say this is a decent price for the kit?
remove the last digit to get USD.

[grizzled nova]

I assumed so

[grizzled nova]

Any price is good enough for ai companies

[craggy cove]

corsair is smoking some major crack, for some reason their ram is consistently overpriced like this

[exotic cape]

4200$ for 32GB of ram.

[grizzled nova]

Yep

[exotic cape]

Should I buy?

[thin bloom]

I wonder if I can manage to get the board in with the cooler on it? It's going to be a bitch to get the power connector reconnected to the board. It was a bitch to deal with my old cooler with the top fans attached

First I'm going to finish my cold lunch

[grizzled nova]

I think openai should buy all of their stock and just let it rot in their warehouse

[exotic cape]

The shipping is only 8$

[grizzled nova]

Steal

[craggy cove]

this bios looks so basic holy

its like whatever american megatrends gave them and then they put no effort

[grizzled nova]

Yes sounds to be easy enough

o wow das actually really cheap

not even lying

or sarcasm or anything the 5090 prices will skyrocket

[tidal geyser]

o wow we still have gpus for those prices

[exotic cape]

And in stock

[tidal geyser]

that is pretty important too

[exotic cape]

I want to buy, but I also want to have the Netherlands trip this summer

[tidal geyser]

buy it now and sell it for a house in the summer

[dense dagger]

Gaming on My NAS, lol using Steam Headless

[exotic cape]

The 64gb kit I got I paid 3200kr for was being sold for 12k not too long ago.

[tidal geyser]

i tried it but i had such a bad time

docker really is not made for gaming

[empty quartz]

Finally got my cd out of my dads old chrysler 300 head unit

This cd is probably worth more than the head unit itself on used markets

[exotic cape]

I'm debating on selling the old stuff soon

Might have earned a bit by not selling it earlier

[tidal geyser]

i plan on selling most of my stuff too and moving fully into laptops

[exotic cape]

Got this laptop earlier last year.

Battery absolutely sucks

Not even 2 hours

And that's just regular use.

[tidal geyser]

wtf it has a igpu

it should not be this bad

wait is epic games open?

[exotic cape]

4050

[tidal geyser]

yes i know but good battery life cannot be achieved if the dgpu is on

also this is also a reason why i want to go pantherlake

[exotic cape]

So I should just straight up disable the gpu

Also I got it for 8k

[sleek remnant]

do domino

[dense dagger]

Maybe you are doing it wrong?

[tidal geyser]

its just how docker is made

but i myself had other issues

[tidal geyser]

i got this for 300kr
12700h and a 2.8k oled

[dense dagger]

I don't know, it depends on the game I guess

[tidal geyser]

well i am not talking about the game itself but more about how docker would lose about 20% minimum or something vs native hardware and you also get the fun issue of latency but yea it is something i kinda wanna revisit

[golden sage]

Does anyone know why the new MX-6 thermal paste formula is no longer that cool light blue color and is thick like clay?

[tidal geyser]

i thoght it was always thermalpaste

most if not almost all thermalpaste i have ever used is that clay kinda thing you are talkng about

[golden sage]

It seemed rather odd to me that i couldnt spread it at all, it really was thick and doesnt stick to the hands when touched

[tidal geyser]

i would suggest using PTM 7950 for die's

[golden sage]

i thought i was tripping until i went to google and found a reddit post from someone else too https://www.reddit.com/r/arcticcooling/comments/1mvtd7p/arctic_mx6_thermal_paste_new_formula_or_bad_batch/

[tidal geyser]

thermal paste is fine but PTM will do a lot better long term

[golden sage]

Oh, my use case is just changing out my CPU cooler so ill have to re-apply thermalpaste on the 9800x3D

i've heard something about kryosheets

[tidal geyser]

then why are you spreading it

you just need a big dab in the middle then the cooler will spread it out

[golden sage]

oh- im not supposed to?

i always thought it was normal procedure to spread it out then put the cooler on

[tidal geyser]

on the die

some tech shops do not even do that and that makes me scared

but on a IHS it does not really matter

[exotic cape]

Still have this laying around.

[tidal geyser]

technicly you should put the dam a bit higher than the middle as there is where the hot part lies

[tidal geyser]

[craggy cove]

hhh cant they compare it to the 9800x3d

desktop intel eats rocks whats new

[exotic cape]

i really want to get a nvidia gpu so i can have an ai server, but im not sure wich one to get.

[tidal geyser]

vram is king most of the time

[exotic cape]

yea i need atleast 10gb for the tool i have

[tidal geyser]

it would be like 1% faster at best on those kinda charts i would imagine

[tidal geyser]

16GB gets you i think 20b gpt oss

[exotic cape]

whisper large

[craggy cove]

would be a fire chart to show

[craggy cove]

these prices are messed up

[exotic cape]

ehh, they are alright. just remove last digit and thats ish usd

[exotic cape]

and then this is the rig i have now
and it sucks to use for the ai work i need

[craggy cove]

i mean why is a 5060 ti the same as a 5070

[exotic cape]

100$ sale

[tidal geyser]

maybe show the gpu

[craggy cove]

100$ sale to bring it to msrp 😭

[thin bloom]

See it's hard. I'm just struggling to conect the cpu power. My hand is to big to fit

I can barely get my figures to grab it

[tidal geyser]

that one works really well for me

[pearl fossil]

guys i wanna buy a 775 board

[craggy cove]

not me dealing with this problem just now

[tidal geyser]

i got a SHIT ton of tokens for gpt oss 20b

[exotic cape]

it could just be the fact that i used the wrong whisper model,

[craggy cove]

i kinda just struggled for 5 minutes and got it in

no tips to give

other than remove the cooler

[tidal geyser]

why spend 5k if it might be as simple as changing the model

[stray portal]

What does the percentage mean

[exotic cape]

fair, imma remake the trascribe tool.

[glacial forge]

use a big screwdriver to push it in

[pearl fossil]

what sort of board would y'all recommend for a c2d e8400

[rancid solstice]

This costs way too much now

4x48gig

[thin bloom]

I should of bent the tabs in oh well

[golden sage]

I might want to research more on this, do u know anything about Thermal Grizzly's Kryosheets?

[dense dagger]

if anything I still sounds like maybe I should tweak the bitrate so the audio is a little bit smoother, but other than that everything looks good

[golden sage]

Ram is cheaper than RAM now

[thin bloom]

Will this work or should I change the tip to a flat head?

[rancid solstice]

Lmao

[golden sage]

hey! i have that exact screwdriver

[pearl fossil]

and i'm looking for a motherboard that has ddr3 if possible

[ivory mountain]

this looks so fucking goofy

[rancid solstice]

Been using the transparent screwdriver pretty much every day since it came out and it’s holding up amazing

[glacial forge]

I quess but be carful. Push in the corners

[thin bloom]

It be nice if this server hade a vc so you guys can see me suffer trying to put my pc back together

https://tenor.com/view/struggle-bus-struggling-the-is-gif-27633934

[dense dagger]

Change the resolution

[pearl fossil]

you see the 3d models are high resolution so it was already done i think

[dense dagger]

maybe that is because the background is just an image

[ivory mountain]

i did, it only affects mario himself and the enemies lmaooo

[dense escarp]

take the cooler out

[dense escarp]

plug all the cables first before u start adding bulky components that block the board

[thin bloom]

Nah I don't want fuck up the brand new past I did

[dense escarp]

bruh

[thin bloom]

Now I think of it I should of hooked the bottom wires first since I can't remove the bottom fans

Now I just have to suffer

[sour storm]

It arrived

[pearl fossil]

i found a cheap 10 euro 775 motherboard but it comes with 4gb ddr2

it has 4 ram slots

[tired bear]

lol ill give you one

i have it somewhere, afik it even uses ddr3

[pearl fossil]

dude i'd do anything for a 775 board 😭

[pearl fossil]

woah that's so cool

i'm only looking for ddr3 because i have a ton of ddr3 laying around

actually not really a ton but

5 4gb sticks and an 8gb stick

[tired bear]

tf you need 775 system for tho

[pearl fossil]

for experimenting with oses, testing old hardware, i just wanna build my own old pc lol

honestly as long as it has a pcie slot i'll be fine, no matter the board

[tired bear]

issue is that 775 was ewaste 10 years ago...

[pearl fossil]

yeah idc i used a mobile c2d for like a year and it was fine

it did all of my basic tasks

it was a macbook though

[thin bloom]

I see why I'm fighting it now. The cable is warped and perfectly fits the old board

So I have to now fight the were into a position that it doesn't like

Finally got it on but in the process I damaged the heatsink

[vestal stream]

Chat, I'm literally in a snowstorm rn. It snowed like a mfer and its -15C outside. What will happen if put my pc outside as a cooling solution. Assuming no condensation

[ivory mountain]

itll be colder

[mental violet]

any suggestions for a good 34 inch monitor? right now, im leaning towards the samsung viewfinity S50GC.

[craggy cove]

knowledge about pluto

[craggy cove]

budget? needs?

[swift moss]

A photo

[mental violet]

Oh yeah, I forgot that. I play gaming and productivity.

[solid quail]

Going to pick up the free components on Saturday

B450m mortar, 3400G and 2X8GB hyperx fury rgb

Also will go pick up a 4G LTE cat9 modem+router combo for 15€

[glacial forge]

Good free components!

[solid quail]

They're going to be fine for the secondary PC I'll probably set up at my partner's place so we can game together (she already has a ryzen 7 5800 and a 3060ti)

We mainly play lighter games together (league of legends and such), but she's trying to get me into playing fortnite and I'm not quite sure if the vega 11 can run it anymore

[glacial forge]

Gaming with your partner is life goals!

[craggy cove]

shit idk honestly :(

[solid quail]

I do have a spare GTX 1080, but I'd like this rig to be silent and draw as little power as possible

[craggy cove]

also flat 34" is funky

[mental violet]

Yeah

[pulsar root]

Why hasn’t a system where you can use the power of two computers to make one effective, more powerful one been created

[tulip sparrow]

https://www.androidauthority.com/samsung-galaxy-ring-investigation-verdict-3630897/

"Samsung says cracked molding, not battery, was to blame for the incident."

[glacial forge]

if you want rig that is as silent as posible you should undervolt both the cpu and the gpu.

[solid quail]

The 1080 is the cheap Palit one. I highly doubt it will be silent. The best case scenario would be to jist use the igpu, but for that, I need to see how it handles fortnite

[glacial forge]

You can try to undervolt it with msi afterburner. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6qkq3hfqow

[tired bear]

it will do fine

as long at it isnt a blowie

[thin bloom]

I wonder how cool the cpu be during heavy loads? Top front fan is a intake and the one behind it is a exhaust. It's going to be a bitch to tune the case fans. Since I have to run a game then reboot then edit the fan curves until I get a good fan curve I like

[tired bear]

flip this fan around or remove it

[thin bloom]

Why? It won't hurt it since it's an intake

[tired bear]

well in current configuration this fan will exaust the air brought in from the top front fan

and since there is no heat generating component there all you will gain is dust

[thin bloom]

This is how I have it configured.

[tired bear]

ok then

i tought it was mounted as a exaust

[swift stream]

what thermalright cooler did you even reccommend again.

[thin bloom]

I originally had as an intake for a while then flipped it to exhaust for maybe 2 or 1 years then I flipped it back as an intake in last November I think? I forget but it didn't change my cpu temps when I was running the stock cpu cooler but I do know it now pushes more to the ass

Should i plug the HD audio case cable in? I don't use the headphone jack or the mic port

[green fern]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4rwp0NuqDlw

so, your RGB DDR5 is at risk of failing

[dense escarp]

yeah. never know when u might need it

[green fern]

tldw, RGB and lack of airflow is causing instability of ram along with asus boards not throttling the ram once its gets hot enough.

[thin bloom]

True. I might pulg it in later. I don't feel like pulling the psu out to plug it in. I know I could go on top but it might look messy

[dense escarp]

hd audio comes form the front io pcb on the case, not the PSU

[thin bloom]

I'm currently dealing with this shit show of fan wires

[tired bear]

as a rgb hater i aproove

[dense escarp]

should be easy. try doing it in a mATX case or a mini ITX 😂

[thin bloom]

What i mean is the psu is in the way of me putting it through one of the case holes

[thin bloom]

Yours has argb? Because I'm dealing with argb and power lines

[burnt cedar]

hello from my new hp omen you guys

[ivory mountain]

LMAO???

[thin bloom]

Not my finest wiring job I done. I have done better. I don't want to make it tidy right now. I just want to get back to gaming on it and program the case fans and play a game i badly want to play

And program my pc for it's new center monitor

[dense escarp]

yup. literally did it last night.

dont have any HDDs though. keeping them in my old system. just need to install 4060ti and a new psu to get the old system running again

[harsh whale]

What happened here, I just restarted my pc

Nevermind, Boot device was just switched

[delicate escarp]

What would you guys rate the cable management?

[mental violet]

what desk is that?

[delicate escarp]

It’s the corsair platform:4 in the standard (fixed) edition

[junior merlin]

I miss EVGA

[gleaming rose]

i'm gonna have to accept that i can't get a trackpoint

https://www.ultrabookreview.com/74443-lenovo-yoga-pro-9i-7i-5i/
because fuckkkkk

[glacial forge]

Better than mine!

[gleaming rose]

it's such a sexy laptop

[limpid dune]

webcam staring out into space lmao

unironically though beautiful build

[gleaming rose]

do y'all think the trackpoint is worth getting a significantly worse laptop for?

[limpid dune]

I wish KDE had special window tiling for ultrawide monitors lik that one, which would let me break it into five or six portrait mode tabs, that would be super useful

[thin bloom]

Should i turn this on?

[gleaming rose]

i guess bro

i'll have to cope without it and cry into my large pen-compatible haptic touchpad and tandem oled i suppose

[limpid dune]

I'm currently using an 8th gen X1 as my daily linuxer, I mean, trackpoint is fun but too innacurate IMO

[glacial forge]

https://tenor.com/view/legends-of-legends-of-avantris-just-trust-me-bro-trust-me-bro-rpg-gif-1926655221305885727

[gleaming rose]

i feel like once you get used to it it's a big benefit, but then again i don't think it's worth the sacrifice in battery & performance

[limpid dune]

Whatever the default is, it won't really affect perf

[thin bloom]

What about this

[glacial forge]

With intel or amd just turn on xmp and expo and ignore the rest
