[sharp ivy]

I love the noise this pc makes

melodious

[gleaming rose]

https://www.ultrabookreview.com/74443-lenovo-yoga-pro-9i-7i-5i/
it's perfect bro

[delicate escarp]

LMAO, ya I took it off when I put the monitor on the arm and I have’t got it fixed yet 😂. And thank you!!

[glacial forge]

Sounds like some cables is messing with the fans.

[sharp ivy]

no

what sound?

[glacial forge]

Or maby its from a harddrive.

[random jetty]

My beautiful pc(his name is George) has died🫩

[thin bloom]

Idk why I have to do this plus I have to retype in the wifi password. Do i have to inable something in the bios?

[dawn saffron]

rip george

[random jetty]

Rip indeed

[dawn saffron]

how good was george

[random jetty]

He was alright

[dawn saffron]

how long did he serve you

[random jetty]

George 2.0 will have an actual gpu now

[thin bloom]

How did George die?

[random jetty]

Not very long🫩 I think it was static from the cats that got him

[dawn saffron]

🙏

how good is george 2.0 . what is his brains and heart

[random jetty]

I’m not sure I’m building the perfect budget George 2.0 rn

Gotta find the parts

I’m gonna use og George’s heart(intel i7)

[dawn saffron]

whats the budget for george 2.0

[random jetty]

Very little like barely $200

But I have a hand me down rtx 3050 from my brother

[dawn saffron]

are there any parts that you can salvage of george . like his memory

[random jetty]

I think I can salvage the hdd and the cpu

[dawn saffron]

what about his ram

[random jetty]

16gb ddr4

So really I don’t need much

[dawn saffron]

still functionable ?

[random jetty]

Should be

[dawn saffron]

so what components do you need . a new mobo ?

[random jetty]

I’m thinking my brother might also have an older mobo so George 2.0 may be cheaper than I thought

I may film the creation of George 2.0

[dawn saffron]

id heavily recommend switching the hard drive for a SSD

[random jetty]

Okay okay I’ll note that down

[dawn saffron]

👍 good luck with george 2.0

[random jetty]

I shall update

George 2.0 is gonna be an actual tower and not a slim so that’s an upgrade by itself

[frozen galleon]

I want to upgrade a component of my PC, I have a 11400 with a 7600 with 16 gigs of 3200mhz but I can never get it to overclock to 3200 only 2800. I play games like Helldivers 2, ARC raiders, Rust and Bodycam. Should I upgrade my GPU? I am on a budget 😅

[livid perch]

whats the budget

[frozen galleon]

like 500 AUD

[livid perch]

hmm

i was gonna say maybe get a rx 9060

i mean if u could squeeze out a little more u could get a cpu + mother board

but even if u did ud prob get a newer cpu and a mother board with ddr 5 n you already know the prices of ram I assume

i mean if u just want more performance I think a 9060 could work

[livid perch]

yeah prob ur best bet

460 aud for a 9060xt

[frozen galleon]

Oh yeah that seems like a rly good deal, tysm!!

[livid perch]

np

[frozen galleon]

I was thinking to maybe also hold off and save some money till my finals end. A new GPU would entice me to get on a game and waste my time instead of studying for my finals that decides what uni i go to. 😅

Hopefully prices dont skyrocket towards november 💔

[livid perch]

Hopefully

[dense escarp]

Forgot to post results last night

[azure topaz]

not a bad lookin case

[dense escarp]

its done bro

[azure topaz]

phanteks xt ultra thing?

[dense escarp]

XT V3

[azure topaz]

yeah my sis has one\

[dense escarp]

love this case

[azure topaz]

my gripe with it

is that you need to take off the top to take off the side panels

[sharp ivy]

IDE HDD :3

[dense escarp]

i mean i guess, but how often do you need to get inside once its done?

[azure topaz]

a lot. i fuck with computers a lot

[azure topaz]

the biggest problem is the ps5 on top of the computer

[dense escarp]

your gripe makes sense then

[azure topaz]

that+having to take off the top=messing with my sisters computer when i need it is a hassle

[dense escarp]

probably not the best case for your situation at that point

[azure topaz]

nah but its pretty

i dont mess with it too often, maybe once a month, its still annoying tho

[frozen galleon]

It can be a reward for surviving my finals lol

[dense escarp]

this was my first build in like 15+ years

[azure topaz]

i build a lot

i built that one for my sis

[dense escarp]

used to build pcs with my unc back in the days.

this was my first solo build

[left trellis]

Chat what used nv gpu do we have for 200 usd

Think i can get a 3080

[azure topaz]

lmao no

[left trellis]

Belieb

[azure topaz]

300-350 will do it

200$ is 3070 pricing

[left trellis]

Marketplace does get brazy tho

Maybe we go for the 2080 ti

[azure topaz]

that’s the next generation on the chopping block

is that really a good idea

[left trellis]

Thats why itll be cheap

[azure topaz]

and garbage in a year

[left trellis]

16xx no?

[azure topaz]

bro thags the same generation

[left trellis]

Wth

Thats crazy

[azure topaz]

16=20 series without ray tracing

[grizzled frost]

different naming scheme, same architectural generation

[azure topaz]

just to be cheaper for low end gamers

[left trellis]

Idrk how much to spend bruh

[grizzled frost]

the most you are willing to

[azure topaz]

imo 300-400$ is a perfect amount to spend on a video card

3080 or 9060xt 16gb and youre pretty good from there

[left trellis]

Thats the problem

If i pop off, everything but gpu will be 800

But this storage is abt to hit

[dense escarp]

i second this. 9060xt 16gb is solid af

[limpid dune]

RX 7600 and let Valve's magic SteamOS drivers make it work, inshallah

[azure topaz]

lmfao

[left trellis]

Amd 💔

[azure topaz]

hey so i listed 3080 too for idiots

[left trellis]

Editing build

[azure topaz]

if youre not editing 8k video your hardware choices are pretty irrelevant

[left trellis]

I have a 7900xt listed but it wont fucking sell

[azure topaz]

as long as you have a modern computer it will realistically be fine

[limpid dune]

as if every single macintosh editing workstation didn't use AMD between like 2013 and 2020

[azure topaz]

literally

just need mem and an ok cpu

[limpid dune]

I forgort when Ample stopped making AMD gpu thingies

[left trellis]

After effects and blender mostly, just 1080 w heavy effects

[azure topaz]

okay so get a caked cpu and mem

theres no scenario where 1080p editing is that heavy lol

[left trellis]

We got a 13900k and 64gb alr

[left trellis]

Bro sapphire is touching me

[azure topaz]

no

[left trellis]

Im telling you gng

These plugins are no joke 😭

Back on the 1080 ti it was rough

[random gyro]

am about to fill up the 2 terabyte ssd in my laptop

[left trellis]

My 2 tb external is almost full

[random gyro]

worth it to shove in a 2 tb hard drive in there? (theres a 2.5 inch hard drive slot in there)

[azure topaz]

get an ssd

[left trellis]

What are you storing?

[azure topaz]

harddrive boo in 2026

[random gyro]

movies, photos, torrents, just extra crap

[azure topaz]

i have expanded as of recent

[left trellis]

Thats hard drivable

[random gyro]

yep

[azure topaz]

hdd in a mobile device is always weird to me but if youre chill with it then go ahead obvi

[random gyro]

it is a lot cheaper than ssds especially because of the ram (and ssd) crisis

[azure topaz]

i mean you can get a 2tb sata drive for like 100$

[left trellis]

Got 3.25 internal and 2 external atm

Might be able to get a 4tb nvme soon

[random gyro]

too expensive for budget :( and its for stuff that doesnt use much hard drive space anyway

[azure topaz]

then you probably dont need a 2tb and can get a cheaper 1tb drive

[random gyro]

ssd is kinda overkill for what ill use it for

[azure topaz]

always nicer to have it and not need it

[left trellis]

Guy on hwswap trading nvmes for ddr4

[random gyro]

speak again, ive also filled up a 1tb external

i really need a ton of storage :>

[azure topaz]

"and its for stuff that doesnt use much hard drive space anyway"

[random gyro]

i meant speed sorry

[azure topaz]

seems he decision is clear then

[random gyro]

thank you guys

am gonna do upgrades to my laptop (1440p screen :0)

and fix the bottom panel too i guess

[delicate egret]

Can anyone help me? I have a laptop with a broken screen and when I try to load it it shows the loading symbol and screen and then I see the screen go black, then it boots into windows and doesnt display on the monitor I have it hooked into

I got it into bios so I know its working

[swift stream]

this headset actually goes tuff ngl

[grizzled frost]

no

[random gyro]

i have chose (most of) the parts for the upgrade!!

[random gyro]

thats one blue headset

[quasi moat]

Be a man. Go spend 40x market value on 2TBs of storage

[dawn saffron]

how do u get this screen

[burnt cedar]

Guys I have shut down my pc for tonight but I wanna ask is it normal for my hp desktop fans to turn on and off while in sleep mode

[random gyro]

completely normal. its not like its gonna do stuff at night

[burnt cedar]

Ah ok thanks

[frigid blade]

Yes, there's still stuff happening in the background in sleep mode

And that generates heat so the fans kick in

[random gyro]

its probably cooling off whatever residual heat there is

[woeful phoenix]

Were the RAM prices worth it?...

My tiktok feed is devolving 🥀🥀🥀

[dense escarp]

So i just worked out how much i spent on my build. Came out to $1860

[azure topaz]

not bad

[woeful phoenix]

pcpp?

[random gyro]

sup

[dense escarp]

huh?

[woeful phoenix]

pc part picker list

[dense escarp]

never made one. but i can tell u the specs

@woeful phoenix

[woeful phoenix]

How much did you spend on the ram

[dense escarp]

$280

[woeful phoenix]

Nice

[dense escarp]

yup. its 1300 now

[dense escarp]

@woeful phoenix

[woeful phoenix]

Fan orientation is trash need to fix it

[dense escarp]

how would you fix it?

[woeful phoenix]

Fans on the bottom should be sucking in facing down. You have them facing up. Theyre directly competing for air with your 5070 TI and most likely winning. What orientation are the top fans?

[dense escarp]

the bottom fans are reverse blade brother. top fans are exhaust

[frigid blade]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/381193783296917507/1298397840980312085/airflow.gif

[woeful phoenix]

Why are your top fans exhaust?

[frigid blade]

because thats the correct way

[dense escarp]

because its a radiator lol?

[woeful phoenix]

What do radiators do?

They cool the part.

With?

[dense escarp]

chat is this guy real?

[woeful phoenix]

Fresh cool air.

[frigid blade]

all youre doing is heating the air if you intake

then youre blowing hot air at your parts

[woeful phoenix]

Which would be sucked out if he had a real exhaust fan.

His GPU is already taking all the intake

Thats negative pressure asf

[frigid blade]

sucked out after it goes through the pc lol

[woeful phoenix]

From where? The air is immediately stolen by the GPU

[frigid blade]

ok, so youre moving hot air through the gpu?

what is your point

theres real data on this btw

[ivory mountain]

what is this peak infesting my eyes

[vast onyx]

Any tech ppl online

[ivory mountain]

nope eren

[vast onyx]

Aot>

[ivory mountain]

aot so good bro

[woeful phoenix]

ong bro

[vast onyx]

I’m tryna get this exact gpu like design but can’t find it is it like old gen?

[dense escarp]

I dont think bro understands what reverse blade fans are

[woeful phoenix]

This is how it currently is. GPU is perfectly fine because it has constant intake of fresh air. That leaves the air from the gpu to be pushed up on the rad which is going to be pulling hot asf air through it when it should have cool air going through it.

The GPU will have no issue if the 6 fans were intake

[ivory mountain]

i mean did u search gigabyte 5070ti

[vast onyx]

Yeah

Quick question 9070 xfx vs 5070 to I don’t have much ball on knowledge on pcs specs or nun so that’s why I’m here

[latent gull]

It says it at the bottom of the video?

https://www.gigabyte.com/Graphics-Card/GV-N507TEAGLE-OC-16GD

[ivory mountain]

hey good job my eyes dont work

[latent gull]

It’s not there at the start but yeah apparently theirs done either

[woeful phoenix]

This is how it should be

[vast onyx]

Yeah I know I meant like the exact design of that gpu it’s fire like the letters and all of it

[vast onyx]

https://tenor.com/view/eren-yeager-eren-yeager-season4-attack-on-titan-eren-grisha-grisha-gif-24871624

[latent gull]

Yeah, it’s at the bottom

What else are you looking for if not the exact model?

[stoic nova]

aww yea people watched the jays2cents video

[vast onyx]

Ik the spec of the gpu yea, but like I was looking for that exact design model like how it’s designed yk

[vast onyx]

Amd 9070xfx vs 5070?

[stoic nova]

still people really should be just trying whatever works best with their case

[ivory mountain]

on your feet dad

[latent gull]

Brother it’s got the EXACT FUCKING model listed at the bottom what else are you asking for

[woeful phoenix]

Apparently not because they have a ton of negative pressure in that case. Also its objectively better to have positive pressure than negative pressure which he has currently

[stoic nova]

not necessarily

[latent gull]

https://www.gigabyte.com/Graphics-Card/GV-N507TEAGLE-OC-16GD

[woeful phoenix]

Please tell me how negative pressure is better unless youre using a fully mesh case.

[vast onyx]

Nvm I found it

[simple palm]

I accidentally deleted files in AppData folder 🙁

[woeful phoenix]

Which even than negative and positive pressure in a mesh case doesnt matter

[vast onyx]

https://a.co/d/dmwnXqY

[simple palm]

What a morning to start with

[woeful phoenix]

all files?

[stoic nova]

there is a very linear curve with the smaller your case / more splitting paths of air you create 🥁 hot-pockets

[latent gull]

This isn’t even the model, I gave you the model twice and told you where to find it. Surely you cannot be this dense

[stoic nova]

its standard in itx builds to have negative pressure to negate this

[dense escarp]

Theres no room for more fans except an exhaust in the rear and im not setting my rad to intake.

[vast onyx]

Calm down g

[dense escarp]

So again, how woupd you fix it?

[vast onyx]

Was looking for this

[woeful phoenix]

I just showed you how to fix it lmao

[vast onyx]

Looks the same

[woeful phoenix]

You add one fan and flip 3. bam, great airflow

[simple palm]

Yeah

I actually wanted to delete those prefetch, temp and %temp% folder

[stoic nova]

they'll be back

[woeful phoenix]

Radiators should always be intake. It makes no sense to have hot air flow through your rad lmao.

[ivory mountain]

so you deleted them then deleted them out of the recycling bin

[simple palm]

yeah it seems to be I have to login in again

[stoic nova]

in a fishtank yeh

[simple palm]

I have a very bad habit of Shift+delete

[ivory mountain]

Fuck no

[vast onyx]

Amd 9070 xfx vs aorus 5070ti

[stoic nova]

looks turbulent bro🤘

[ivory mountain]

clearly the 5070ti wins between those two

[woeful phoenix]

What the fuck am I looking at

[ivory mountain]

i removed the push pull 🥀

[ivory mountain]

absolute peak engineering

[stoic nova]

I cant say nothin about ram cooling but the enthusiasts do be getting their sticks hot

[vast onyx]

In performance?

My friend said the 9070 was better

Why is it so much debates abt it

[stoic nova]

This my kinda flavor of "the fuck is that"

[ivory mountain]

the 9070xt is a good competitor and its a lot cheaper, but the 5070ti still beats it in every regard

the normal 9070 isnt even close to the 9070xt or the 5070ti idk why ur friends saying that

[ivory mountain]

W deshroud

[woeful phoenix]

there is no debate.

Your friend either meant the 9070xt which is still wrong or hes an idiot

[stoic nova]

a true connoisseur🍷

[ivory mountain]

i would gladly switch to a 5070ti after all of the recent amd driver crashes that have been happening for me on 25.10.1 and up

i have to stay on 25.6.1 lmao

[vast onyx]

I meant 9070 xt vs 5070 ti

[woeful phoenix]

After I had a 7900XTX with driver timeout issues I dont think ill ever go back

[vast onyx]

Same outcome?

[woeful phoenix]

still loses

[stoic nova]

fr, honestly been positive about framegen lately and amd sleeping on their software

[vast onyx]

“RX 9070 — higher raw FPS, more VRAM, better value for gaming overall.”

[ivory mountain]

it was funny as hell, I ddu'd and went to 25.12.1 a few weeks ago and i couldnt even apply my overclock without it gray-screening 🤣

[woeful phoenix]

Who told you that? Theyre an idiot

[ivory mountain]

"more vram" mf they both have 16gb

[vast onyx]

Is this true RX 9070: more FPS, more VRAM, better value
RTX 5070: better ray tracing & DLSS

[ivory mountain]

no lol

[vast onyx]

Armin

[woeful phoenix]

No

[stoic nova]

I know anecdotes dont mean shit but, adrenaline full has always been like this, and minimal just doesnt have any of these issues. A good stopgap is disabling the overlay entirely

[ivory mountain]

this is why armin gets cucked, armin just says dumb shit 😭🙏

[ivory mountain]

i never had this issue before 25.10.1

[woeful phoenix]

https://tenor.com/view/bro-just-typing-shit-bro-just-typing-shit-gif-18336060238854257551

[ivory mountain]

armin and annie is never happening

armin is in the chair

[ivory mountain]

brodie using userbenchmark

[vast onyx]

Armin catching strays for no reason 💔🥀

[ivory mountain]

😭

[vast onyx]

Aight look tho,

[ivory mountain]

its armin thats a valid enough reason

[vast onyx]

5070 better tho just to be clear?

[ivory mountain]

why do u never include the xt or the ti in the ends of your names

[stoic nova]

it is important lol

[vast onyx]

Bc i have 0 knowedlge in pc specs

[woeful phoenix]

Yes

Green = good

Red = bad

blue = really bad

[vast onyx]

Just knowledge of the founder titain

[vast onyx]

Wym?

[ivory mountain]

this is gpu-ist

[woeful phoenix]

https://tenor.com/view/amd-nvidia-intel-gpu-tarjeta-gráfica-gif-15684587

[vast onyx]

But why does the 9070xt cost more

https://tenor.com/view/kingpin-kingpin-clicking-pen-clicking-pen-spider-verse-into-the-spider-verse-gif-5180708998338482135

[ivory mountain]

the 9070xt is $600 at microcenter as we speak

[stoic nova]

"I form my opinions based on the gamer collective from a moment to moment basis"

[woeful phoenix]

Just do what I did. Buy a 5070 TI from walmart. Put your old GPU in the box. Return it and say it came like that.

Free GPU glitch unpatched

[ivory mountain]

is this the method

[woeful phoenix]

https://tenor.com/view/fadding-smart-gif-16536398705701482405

[stoic nova]

gotta love me some fraud

[ivory mountain]

yeah cause u selected a 5070 and not a 5070ti lmao

[vast onyx]

I just ask yall to have patience with me

[woeful phoenix]

Listen. XT= TI

[woeful phoenix]

You need to compare 5070 TI to 9070 XT

And 5070 to 9070

Its like comparing the Iphone 17 to the Iphone 17 pro

[vast onyx]

Alr I get it now

[woeful phoenix]

5070 TI is $750

$50 is worth it for everything you get

[stoic nova]

There was never a need to go to these lengths all you had to say was yes or no.

[woeful phoenix]

Does PC part picker have affiliate links

[dense escarp]

either way im gonna buy some d30's for this case tomorrow

[woeful phoenix]

By all means cook the rad bro idc

[stoic nova]

I think I implied a "yes"

[vast onyx]

Got it

[vast onyx]

Quick question

[stoic nova]

hit me

[dense escarp]

tf u mean cook the rad? its meant to dissipate heat. There's no electrical components in there

[vast onyx]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/mX9P3w my old parts

I’m planning on getting a 5070ti do I have to change my cpu

[stoic nova]

what you play

[woeful phoenix]

Would you put your cars radiator behind the motor?

[woeful phoenix]

what cpu do you have

[stoic nova]

he on am5

[vast onyx]

Fortnite cod fivem arc raiders more soon.

[vast onyx]

Check the list

[stoic nova]

I would

[vast onyx]

AMD Ryzen 5 7500F 3.7 GHz 6-Core Processor

[dense escarp]

thats not a 1 to 1 comparison

[vast onyx]

But do I need to?

[stoic nova]

"need" is, a bad question

[woeful phoenix]

You quite literally are putting the hot components before the rad.

It is a 1 to 1 comparison. Youre just wrong.

[woeful phoenix]

Did you already buy the 7500f?

[stoic nova]

no you dont need, but cpus are like, only primary component not inflated to hell rn

[woeful phoenix]

Tell that to am4x3d

[stoic nova]

the am5 x3ds are still retail and in stock (in the states)

[woeful phoenix]

I said Am4

[vast onyx]

Yea that’s my current cpu

[vast onyx]

What’s a good upgrade for my cpu since I’d change my gpu??

[woeful phoenix]

So why are you buying a new motherboard?

[dense escarp]

you seem pretty adamant for someone who doesn't care

[vast onyx]

Im not

[stoic nova]

its inflated cause they stopped making 5800x3d years ago

[vast onyx]

I thought that if I get a 5070ti I’d have to get a new cpu

[woeful phoenix]

You seem pretty adamant for someone so wrong

[woeful phoenix]

What resolution is your monitor

[vast onyx]

Current 1080 but I’m planning to get 1440

[strong egret]

Hi

[woeful phoenix]

You really should be on an x3d chip

[strong egret]

Guys i need urgent help

[dense escarp]

thats cool. you can do your own build how u like. Never asked for you input anyway

[woeful phoenix]

Np keep being wrong

[dense escarp]

who asked?

[strong egret]

I've been updating my asus bios and the screen has been black for like 30 minutes

I've made sure it's for the model I have, I renamed the file and everything, but i see no message on the monitor or anything, all leds are still up and fans are spinning

[woeful phoenix]

so what all parts do you have right now

[stoic nova]

you wouldnt "have" to, and everything you play would run fine, but....its worth getting sum x3d in your life, you already got am5

[woeful phoenix]

what motherboard

[stoic nova]

yea $400 sucks, but the sooner you do it, the more time you get the best experience you can have

[vast onyx]

Ight bet I’ll do that how do I make a pc list

Just to organize

[strong egret]

Asus prime b760m a ax

[winter lantern]

It was the same price tho

Pc partpicker prices are so funny 🥀

[dense escarp]

was priced at $907 when i bought it tho

[winter lantern]

Ts is not worth a 5090 build

[ionic atlas]

u guys have any idea how long time it is until these new laptops from CES can be ordered or in the stores to buy?

[woeful phoenix]

Doesnt matter they blow

[ionic atlas]

so does my current laptop lmao.

it says it has 90% battery, but if i unplug the charger, it just dies. and every time it boots, the BIOS settings is reset too. so i assume the clock battery also messed up because it doesn't even hold any charge either.

[woeful phoenix]

Buy a macbook, thats sadly quite literally the only thing worth money

[ionic atlas]

i got a m1 pro (private) and m4 max (work), but I need a pc too

i normally carry a macbook+pc laptop

[woeful phoenix]

For what gaming?

[ionic atlas]

i work for a display manufacturer doing video processing, so video and programming....

dedicated graphics is nice, tho the Quadro P2000 in this laptop, well, it's not the best due to limited of the intel pipeline.... But as long I can playback 4K content it's fine in terms of graphics power for development., and a 120Hz OLED I'm looking at as a upgrade fromthis 4K 60Hz OLED.

[woeful phoenix]

Havent looked at pro arts but I heard the latest model is decent. Especially for their displays

[ionic atlas]

seems like most at the CES now got similar panels of that tandem OLED

[stoic nova]

so you make the demo reels that play on loop 24-7 for display, display models

[woeful phoenix]

No way people make that shit. Half the time its not even the right resolution

I goto a best buy and watch a bit crushed 1080p video for this 4k oled

[ionic atlas]

many years ago, I used to do a lot of After Effects, but def not these days. I programmed a media player that also is a display tester, so everything just dynamic now

[stoic nova]

I love going to best buy and seeing the G9 and odyssey ark demo units just have a fullscreen notepad.exe open

[stoic nova]

so you're intimately familiar with colorspace specifications then?

[ionic atlas]

yes, I went to china a month ago to be on site for a FAT for this. We played battlefield on it.

[stoic nova]

can you tell me what kinda purpose rec709 serves and what kinda display thats even intended for

[ionic atlas]

broadcast

compared to sRGB, it's modly differ in gamma model

[stoic nova]

so like, talking head content

on lower priced displays

[ionic atlas]

yes, rec.709 basically what we just say SDR

SDR; usually Rec.709 8-bit Y'CbCr 4:2:0
HDR is Rec.2020 HDR in 10-/12-bit

[stoic nova]

for some reason modern ue5 games put that and srgb as options, and rec709 always looks higher contrast/more cinematic

never understood it

but maybe a disparity between, game, gpu, and display

[ionic atlas]

i assume gamma, not contrast

[stoic nova]

effectively like going 2.4 to 2.0

[ionic atlas]

usually from 2.2 (RGB pc standard) to 2.4

[stoic nova]

sounds like you got a cool job my friend

[ionic atlas]

microLED is awesome so yes. Being part manufacturer as well solution provider u get to work the whole chain, which is fun

also, you get a display that's no bs. no smart tv, just a app to control all settings.

[stoic nova]

I ask cause I find myself at the entry point of enthusiast....color. And its a goddamn rabbit hole.

[tidal geyser]

rip 8 bit

[stoic nova]

as I understand it, in HDR its an irrelevant indicator of color depth

or width

[tidal geyser]

where did you find this

[woeful phoenix]

advanced display settings

[ionic atlas]

if it's not 10-bit it's fake hdr

[tidal geyser]

yea

whoa "Dolby Vision (12-bit) is capable of up to 10000nits. "

[woeful phoenix]

Thinking of getting a 4k miniLed lowkey

Dont know which to get tho 💔

[ionic atlas]

only displays that's capable is MicroLED tho

tho in our MicroLED systems, we have so a user can limit it

[stoic nova]

https://www.reddit.com/r/gopro/comments/xe0wfx/comment/ioe0u1z/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

[woeful phoenix]

Youre a display guy. Is miniLED almost as good as OLED or nah

[ionic atlas]

fyi

Tho in real life, HDR10 is the most mainstream where dolby vision is like "well..."

[stoic nova]

I am not a career display programmer but I understand miniled to sacrifice accuracy for brightness

[ionic atlas]

because, netflix be using dobly vision but then give u a bitrate so bad it looks like shit

[woeful phoenix]

Would get OLED but there aint any 4k 240hz OLEDs that dont cost an arm and a leg

[ionic atlas]

good MiniLED you need a huge amount of diods, hence only miniLED display I've used that's good is the macbook pro/iPad

it's enough zones

[woeful phoenix]

How many zones we talkin

[ionic atlas]

the 16" has >2500 zones i think

with 10k mini-leds

16-inch offers 10,216 miniLEDs across 2,554 local dimming zones.

[woeful phoenix]

jesus

[ionic atlas]

but else, if you show a dark scene, you get the awful glow and bloom

[stoic nova]

its crazy seeing all these panels thrown out with $200 price tags meanwhile pc displays be like

[woeful phoenix]

And this one I was looking at only has 1152 💔

https://www.amazon.com/KTC-MiniLED-3840x2160-Adjustable-M27P6/dp/B0F7Q8ZWLY

[ionic atlas]

if you do light content, miniLED doesn't need as many zones, so for office use it's fine

[tidal geyser]

downloading this

[ionic atlas]

but then something like OLED can have flickering issues and issues with low grayscale

due to the whole PWM etc.

[tidal geyser]

i wonder if any of the new displays at CES try and fix that

[stoic nova]

has your job gotten easier the more ^ ^ you've need to use for demo reels

[tidal geyser]

wat

[stoic nova]

#tech-chat-1 message

[ionic atlas]

i have all i need in my software and sometimes we use content as a reference of example LG or Samsung because that's what many clients use to compare to.

[stoic nova]

has one of these reference videos been the colorful up close frog videos

if so your work has been seen by all of western civilization

[woeful phoenix]

Frawg

[ionic atlas]

nah

[stoic nova]

[ionic atlas]

actually one of the biggest one for OLED and MicroLED is the grayscale tests

because, if they cheap out on the components, like IC driver, you notice it instantly if you set the display to 1-5% brightness

[stoic nova]

yeah that ones pretty tough, its already taken decades to conquer black

gray, the next frontier

[woeful phoenix]

What looks better?

4k MiniLED

1440P OLED

I saw Oled is so clear during motion

[tidal geyser]

different display techs

[woeful phoenix]

I heard oled feels like double the refresh rate of IPS

[tidal geyser]

yea i feel dat

[stoic nova]

nah, but it makes people realize modern motion blur can actually look good

[tidal geyser]

the 90hz oled on the laptop i got for 30$ feels like another world

tho not used it that much

[woeful phoenix]

I dont understand the hype around dual mode displays.

Its a PITA to use. If it was seamless and automatically did it that would be good

[ionic atlas]

OLED and MicroLED is instant

but it can also have the effect the image doesn't 'feel as smooth'

[stoic nova]

from my perspective it seems like samsung and lg are throwing panel technologies at the wall and seeing what sticks, then eventually make them cheap enough if people keep buying them

[tidal geyser]

aint it as hard as starting a game and while its starting up switching to the other mode

[woeful phoenix]

Aint nobody wanna go in monitor settings every time for ts

I might snag this one

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

[tidal geyser]

i thought they would be smart enough to slap on a button you can just press and use the other mode

[stoic nova]

eh, just wait till you have your hdr gaming cherry gone

[ionic atlas]

it's a lot of mixing what already exist

trying differnet things with same formula

then call it their own new thing

Mini RGB is the hot term now it seems

[stoic nova]

fr you blink and suddenly theres qled, qned, qsped

[ionic atlas]

in the MicroLED industry we have similar issue... but it's more so , we never throw it to the buyer, they usually just want what fits their budget and needs. and we choose the most suitable for them.

used to be DIP classic diods, then SMD the white flat diods, then now there's plenty ones like COB, COG, MIP, etc.

[stoic nova]

so you dont hold like, inventory then

must be nice

[ionic atlas]

we do, but only like 3 months.

[stoic nova]

good business model

[ionic atlas]

so in the past most companies didn't in our industry, but now we have in stock common use conference room sizes etc.

so we can deliver fast if there's a late sale or whatever

135" COB very popular for offices and indoor now

keep some 1080p, 1440p and 4K models, it's what clients want

[stoic nova]

Popular in scale of....a boutique commercial product with very likely extremely low product batches

its still a tv worth more than a middle income persons house

[ionic atlas]

commercial yes, 99% b2b

It’s a nice size tho.

[stoic nova]

10k nit straight to the face

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/light-mode-cat-gif-481352660004110112

[ionic atlas]

and sustained brightness 24/7, so most people just don't pay for HDR version since the sustained SDR is enough

[ionic atlas]

that's not even 800 nits display, but it's sustained, and it's per color

[stoic nova]

whats the average $1000 gaming monitor all white peak brightness at?

210?

[ionic atlas]

it sucks yes, tho your best display in consumer hands is your phone

[stoic nova]

these glorified tomagachis pretty much killed hobbyist DSLR

[tidal geyser]

4500 nits is fun

[stoic nova]

Is that sports stadium level brightness

[ionic atlas]

usually rated for window displays.

[ionic atlas]

stadium outdoor usually 6500-8500 nits,

[stoic nova]

Ya know bright enough to still legibly see with spotlights facing it

[ionic atlas]

but you can get upto 12 000 nits, but that's usually not worth the power draw lmao

[stoic nova]

Ah. New 3am gaming goals

[ionic atlas]

only in middle east they buy those 12k nits display, due to sun

[stoic nova]

So tell me rene

How do you do HDR gaming

Over windows

[solid quail]

Okay so might get this case for the free parts and build a secondary pc

[ionic atlas]

interesting question, some years ago we used to override EDID to force HDR on windows, so we had manual control

[stoic nova]

Do you automate the renodx builds on GitHub every patch

[stoic nova]

That's scary.

I've heard horror stories

[ionic atlas]

that's just windows being terrible. even with a nvidia card

tho if you use AMD or Intel, good luck, better get a console

[solid quail]

It has some potential to look really clean with these

[stoic nova]

So you settle for RTXHDR

These days

Native implementation sucks that bad?

[graceful nimbus]

Just bought a new rig i9 12900k with a 980ti and 64gb of ram and a 250gb ssd

[ionic atlas]

i do most my gaming on ps5 with a MSI QD-OLED 4K monitor. The HDR rabbit hole on pc gaming goes so deep now. All I want is HDR to just work

but for work, when it's not so much used for gaming. then it's easier to deal with, just set the app to control

[stoic nova]

Yeah consoles really do have that sorted

[dense furnace]

how often should i apply Thermal Paste

its been 5 years

[placid hull]

nice bro good specs

[stoic nova]

Even good PC HDR still needs manual display calibration. Console just knows

[ionic atlas]

well, depending on game, you have to turn it off or on due to bad implementation where SDR just looks better as it was designed for SDR, but yes, it's just one toggle

[stoic nova]

2026 and still haven't figured that out

[ionic atlas]

it's like ray-tracing. There's many games without ray-tracing that just look stunning, is ray-tracing worth the hassle and cons compared to alternative methods, which is more a developer question

[stoic nova]

Be that as it may. It still has that psychological effect to you? Where SDR just looks like vhs tape

Mans so committed to good display he abandoned PC gaming

[ionic atlas]

like, you take the DEcima engine. Prob the best looking console game I ever seen like Horizon Forbidden West.. and.. it's no ray-tracing

[stoic nova]

Oh yeah. First game I got to play on a qd OLED

[graceful nimbus]

Just bought this so excited

[stoic nova]

Breathtaking stuff man

[graceful nimbus]

not really, anyone not tied to a desk all day but still need to do some work it would be perfect for

bigger question is, do they need it

gets beaten by a chip using half the power :3

i hate laptops

have this while i look

THERE WE GOhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEeboP8yrJI&t=396s

ok

sad that is fps

no shit we are in 2026

but its also a laptop 2x the power use means 2x the heat a small laptop has to keep up with

no shit but for the most part its worth it since its a lap top

battery life is so many times better i would not even consider pre core ultra

and now with pantherlake it just does not make sense

so why not get a desktop

it lasts 5hrs?

well ofc

but 5hrs i do not believe

maybe

anyhow i would not even consider the older chips now a days

[fringe prairie]

the goat

[tidal geyser]

when you are unable to understand what they say you know they are good

intels power scaling did a amd

[fringe prairie]

you know it’s just a power limited 14900k right

[tidal geyser]

i wonder if his laptop enforces voltage

55w core ultra vs old intel having a whole hell of a lot more fps?

the core ultra at 55w beats the 14900hx at 200w

and again

i do also need to say its not a automatic win on everything

[tawny lava]

Did i get a good price on this nvme ssd

[tidal geyser]

well ye

the ram i bought for 100$ is now 1300$

[tidal geyser]

dis old as shit

[tawny lava]

Rip ssd prices same one like double

Idk why everyone said not to build a new pc back in September now u cant get ram or ssds at proper prices

[tidal geyser]

that is the benefit they do have now, old stock is going out to be replaced by new stuff and due to the self ending thing due to it just being a desktop 14th gen not many people wanna buy em.

[stray portal]

pee cores

ok lets stop

[tidal geyser]

sad

barrington just clean everything

[stray portal]

atleast it isnt linux server

[tidal geyser]

its all just a nightmare

[stray portal]

u

[tidal geyser]

anyhow i just do not trust those older laptop cpus

and now with pantherlake it makes even less sense

only reason i see for 14th and 13th gen is to clean stock as in make it cheaper

ahh looking at the intel chart again X cpus have the b390

computer

[ornate harbor]

That looks burned

[tidal geyser]

nah its fineee

[ornate harbor]

U sure about that?

[tidal geyser]

kinda wanna buy it, looks lime a semi hard repair

as long as no board layers are shorted its pretty easy

[ornate harbor]

How much is it

[drowsy isle]

Best Buy a bit too trigger happy with their prices

[tidal geyser]

290 for a 11th gen and 3060m aka like what i think you could buy a working one for with a lot of luck ofc

[tidal geyser]

eveything is automated

[ornate harbor]

Sounds like a fair price

[tidal geyser]

i got a 5600h and 3060m for 350

and das in a great legion laptop

[ornate harbor]

My laptop still running with a 2050m 4GB

and a 12450HX

[tidal geyser]

yea new is a scam

ofc not but i know what i need and buy to that

[ornate harbor]

Bought it for 700€ i think

[tidal geyser]

i have also gotten to play around with a lot of hardware

[ornate harbor]

They should bring back fully upgradeable laptops

[tidal geyser]

xmg or whatever brand they were under at ces has a laptop they claim to use a upgradable motherboard as in you can replace the entire thing in a few years

but also sadly soldered everything is just way too nice

well not storage, storage i prefer not to

and has no real benefit other than size

[steel umbra]

ignore the ms marketing

720hz at HD not QHD btw

[mental zephyr]

It’s so good

I am so tired of 240hz

[thin bloom]

Why?

[steel umbra]

it’s a joke

[mental zephyr]

It’s soooo slow

[mental zephyr]

Nah tbh

[steel umbra]

i don’t beliv u

gotta be fake

yeah don’t use the displax at 720p

[mental zephyr]

?

[thin bloom]

I got a 240hz monitor for Christmas but so far my pc is only hitting 60 and below

[mental zephyr]

I have oled 2k

Oddysey g6

[steel umbra]

that display runs at 720hz only if you enable HD mode

so 720p

[mental zephyr]

I wanna play 540hz at 2k

Niceeeeee

[tidal geyser]

it measures the socket or something

[steel umbra]

overkill ngl

[tidal geyser]

get a 5090

[mental zephyr]

I have 5080, might swap it next year

[thin bloom]

Is doing a x pattern on a cpu good? That's what I did

[mental zephyr]

Not really

A big dot better

[thin bloom]

That's probably why the cpu runs hot then. So should I just put a dot of paste in the center of the cpu with current paste? I thought x pattern was the best. I watched a video on Twitter that showed the right way to put paste on and the x pattern had the best results out of the other 2 they did

[mental zephyr]

The center of the cpu is the most hot

[tidal geyser]

its like a 2c difference

[mental zephyr]

So that’s why a big dot it’s better

[tidal geyser]

also 70c is really low

[mental zephyr]

Rewlly high

I have 85 in stress test extreme

[thin bloom]

That's what my old pc ran at with the stock cooler. I don't feel the new cooler getting hot when under load. I don't know of That's a problem or not

[tidal geyser]

how tight did you screw down the cooler

and did you take off the plastic thing on the cooler?

[bold olive]

😳

[bold olive]

if it's on there it should spike to 100 degrees immediately under a load

[tidal geyser]

na

[thin bloom]

Until I couldn't turn the screws and yes I did take the plastic off

[mental zephyr]

na

[tidal geyser]

75w 85c

[bold olive]

not available??

[tidal geyser]

its fine

[tidal geyser]

not maxing the cpu

[thin bloom]

The old cooler got hot when under load That's why I thought the new cooler would do the same thing

[mental zephyr]

U got aio?

[tidal geyser]

that is how physics work yes

[thin bloom]

I originally hade a stock intel cooler on the cpu

[mental zephyr]

Trash

[tidal geyser]

tbf it was for a 90w cpu

[thin bloom]

I had no problems since I had my pc. It ran very cool only around maybe 60°C I don't remember

[tidal geyser]

at 80w?

[fresh veldt]

Linus tech tips

[thin bloom]

I don't know. I hade the pc since 2023 then a few months or a year later I got the hwinfo program so I'm only guessing what the temp was. I hate my bad memory

[fresh veldt]

Ok

[tidal geyser]

just use the old pc :3

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

[thin bloom]

Well that's some what impossible since the original 2 boards are dead

[tidal geyser]

i know

i saw you kill one of em at least

[thin bloom]

https://tenor.com/view/mine-now-steal-take-grab-mine-gif-13196166

[fresh veldt]

Ok

[tidal geyser]

anyhow the temps are fine

[thin bloom]

Well the other one naturally died do to part failure

[thin bloom]

So should I pull the cooler off and add paste or just leave it

[tidal geyser]

leave it

[kindred halo]

Much easier to use than a trackpad

I'd literally just buy an IdeaPad if it had a trackbutton

[thin bloom]

Okay. I just have to edit the case fan curves now. Since I had them set to go full speed at 80°C at the cpu temp

When I install Linux later today onto my pc I might need help

[left trellis]

Is the sn850p and different from the sn850x

[tidal geyser]

p for playstation

well made for it but its just a normal nvme ssd

well its just a sn850x but with a p at the end

[thin bloom]

Hope these case can curves work

[grizzled frost]

wow, i hate it

[wanton flume]

anyone know how to turn off windows smart control if the window wont come up

its blocking everything lmao

[tidal geyser]

do not do 0rpm

[grizzled frost]

Minimum speed should always be whatever the highest RPM you find to be inaudible is

[tidal geyser]

yea i think 20-30% should be good enough

[grizzled frost]

I wouldn't really give a number, it varies a lot

for me, i have my slim fan at 40% and my full size fan at 50% idle

[tidal geyser]

you have malware

[grizzled frost]

(slim + 25mm fan on an AIO that is also my case fans)

[tidal geyser]

or your cpu is failing

[thin bloom]

Why? I had it set to 0 rpm at idle in the past them pick up speed as the cpu gets hotter

[wanton flume]

how do i get rid of it

[grizzled frost]

reinstall windows

[ionic peak]

/ block Ware

[tidal geyser]

yea reinstall windows from a usb stick

[grizzled frost]

0rpm means zero airflow, which means your CPU heats up, likely until the fans kick on

[thin bloom]

It slowly got the cpu hot and they came on once in a while

[tidal geyser]

if windows smart screen is off aka it cant contact MS servers it means the anti virus tends to be off or having major issues

[stone gazelle]

i'm thinking since i got a basic ass B650 mobo, would it be worth it to get a new one at some point?

[thin bloom]

I know

[grizzled frost]

is there something your mobo can't do that you want it to?

[stone gazelle]

i want more usb ports mainly

[tidal geyser]

even if it might just be something funky going on with windows and not malware i would still reinstall since well windows is having issues

[grizzled frost]

dongle

[wanton flume]

sure my CPU is fine but does the install have to be on a USB stick

[ionic peak]

Uff gl on him

[wanton flume]

i have alot of music saved and im a producer zzzz

[tidal geyser]

so reinstall

[grizzled frost]

i mean a USB stick is required to fully reinstall windows

[tidal geyser]

since its backed up

[ionic peak]

Use pcie card and dongels on them

[tidal geyser]

if its malware it would just keep itself on there with a reinstall from the system itself

[plucky lodge]

few years ago like 2017 , that's basically what ppl said about 240hz, overkill, nowadays its becoming standard for alot of gamers, in few years that 540hz probably will become standard too, i even saw rumors about 1040hz monitors coming in 2026

[grizzled frost]

1040hz monitors were shown off at CES

[steel umbra]

yes 240hz is indeed still overkill for most people

[wanton flume]

ovb my computer comes first but is there anything i can before then is it like 100% for certain its malware

[grizzled frost]

anything above 240hz is vanity though

[stone gazelle]

on this mobo i'd have to choose between a third NVMe drive or access to a PCI-e slot

[tidal geyser]

tbf from 60 to 240hz there is a MASSIVE difference is ms while 240 vs 540 not so

[steel umbra]

most people or 50% can’t tell difference above 120hz

so 240hz is overkill for most

[grizzled frost]

like 120 to 240 is fairly visible, but it's not nearly as much of a difference as 60 vs 120

[ionic peak]

Extend the mobo for more ports

[stone gazelle]

and i also kinda need more storage
