You got this one too with a 11900k

Other one cleaner tho

Lowkey good prices

[rigid fjord]

some good filters also helps images pop when taking pics

[lavish spire]

Yeah, I wanted to get solar panels, but was disallowed by community.
Sweden have a VERY weird housing system 😄

[fickle ivy]

I also need to get filters for my telescope but I assume since they are a lot larger they would be a lot more expensive

[lavish spire]

(Eg. we live in row-houses, and the housing-community owns the roofs, so, not allowed to put stuff on them)

[woeful phoenix]

Heres an alienware with a 3090 for $800

I know its proprietary parts but still kinda crazy to get the PC for the price of the GPU alone

[tired bear]

sweden is also not very optimal for solar
you would have to have 2-300% oversized DC compared to classic 100-150% oversizing in more warmer countries

[rigid fjord]

depends on the filters, you could get away with a holder and specifically coloured sheets instead

[fickle ivy]

I don't particularly want the sun magnified to an insane extent to melt my eyeballs (possibly literally melt them)

So I need a solar filter

[tired bear]

this is issue everywhere, i just own my whole house so its simple

[frigid blade]

There’s good prices on fbmp near me idk why

[left trellis]

3090 ti for 700

[frigid blade]

I guess the suburbs near me got a little more money and care less about getting money back

[left trellis]

was able to get a 3090 for 550 but its lowk buns 😭

[woeful phoenix]

Lowkey just get a 5070 TI for $750

16GB of VRAM and its faster

[left trellis]

yeah thats why I didnt get it

[rigid fjord]

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Neewer-Telescope-Definition-Resolution-Observation/dp/B074CXG6SJ?th=1 <- same filter company but specifically for the normal eye piece lens you'd normally look through @fickle ivy

[left trellis]

got a 4070 ti super atm

Dont really plan on upgrading

[woeful phoenix]

Why didnt you like the 3090?

[lavish spire]

True. Yet everyone who can gets it. Apparently our energy companies hate it cause innertia issues

[woeful phoenix]

Wtf happened to this 3090

[left trellis]

3080 ti performance for much more

and I dont really need 24gb of vram so

[woeful phoenix]

3080 ti is the goat true

[rigid fjord]

probably cooked it's vram

[woeful phoenix]

Says its running. I wouldnt buy it without testing it or lowballing with how it looks

[fickle ivy]

I don't see how they would attach

[rigid sky]

im thinking abt getting an RX 580 8GB

at this point

[woeful phoenix]

rx 580 in 2026 is crazy

[tired bear]

while this is a ongoing infrastructure issue it can be mitigated by having strict rules and mandating battery energy storage, even small one can make a huge diffrence to infrastructure operators

[rigid sky]

i keep forgetting this thing isnt like 3 years old

[limpid ivy]

Dealing with that where I am at lol. Socal Edison offer it as a way to entice those who want a reduced bill but the damage it'll do to the already older tile roof isn't worth it yet.

[rigid sky]

rn i have a laptop with an overheating 1650 Max-Q

[left trellis]

not too shabby of a card

[rigid sky]

and a pc with a GeForce 7100 GS

[rigid sky]

either that or save up for something newer

[fickle ivy]

Unless they would possibly go inside of here

[rigid fjord]

they screw in to the eye piece

[rigid sky]

but that would require me to become a tradie instead of continuing education

[rigid fjord]

if you undo the thumbscrew there, the eyepiece comes out, you'll find it's threaded internally

[fickle ivy]

Into these threads?

[rigid sky]

you know what laying brick and grafting copper are ambitious plans mush imma get that RX9060XT 16GB

[woeful phoenix]

lowkey gonna buy the 5090 PNY and throw my 5070 TI PNY in that bih say it came like that

[rigid fjord]

this is to go over the front of the telescope when it comes to taking solar/sun pics

[rigid fjord]

yup

like so when it comes to solar/sun pics

[fickle ivy]

I assume that's also what these threads are for

[rigid sky]

theyre all out of stock

using the wrong currency but there are some in stock on amazon

[rigid fjord]

if that's 1.25" diameter then these smaller filters will fit, also just found this site which should help with astrophotography https://www.firstlightoptics.com/flo-guides-colour-filters-to-improve-lunar-and-planetary-visual-observing.html

[fickle ivy]

It is 1.25"

They both are

[rigid fjord]

well there you go, you can find the same filters on amazon canada considering it's the same brand as the filters i linked previously that'll work on the 18-55mm and 55-200mm lens

as you're into photgraphy more than me, you might have better ideas in how to make things easier for zylcel

especially with the filters and their uses

[left trellis]

is 1tb enough as a drive for games

[fickle ivy]

I need to stop taking off my lens

I've now got a spot on my viewfinder that (luckily) isn't on my sensor

[rigid fjord]

different focal points being shown there, and you're suppose to put the caps on the camera and lens when you do, also you supposed to be able to lock the sensor/mirror up for cleaning to help prevent dust/particles on it

[fickle ivy]

Any tips on how to clean it?

[dire atlas]

hey can someone help me with my resolution settings, my monitor is a 4k 144hx monitor, it says optiomal settings for my pc are 4k 120hx, on ym pc when i set it to 120hz it sets teh resolution to 1920x1080, and if i set the resolution to 4k it sets the refreshrate to 60hx. AMD radeon rx 9070 xt

[woeful phoenix]

Need a better cable

[neon kiln]

Can someone explain why my SSD is constantly at 100% usage ? Download speeds are solid but when it comes to patching it bottles

[dire atlas]

you think its a cable issue?

[glossy veldt]

you are trying to push 4k 144hz

[neon kiln]

What monitor is it ? My old Alienware monitor was 4K 240hz but you could only have the refresh rate or the resultion - not both together

[dire atlas]

i want to push 4k 120, i can eitehr get 4k60 or 1080p 120

its some benq 4k 144 monitor my cosin gave me

[glossy veldt]

yeah and what hdmi or displayport cable are you using

you need hdmi 2.1 or dp 1.4

[dire atlas]

3ft hdmi>display port i bought at bestbuy

[formal sonnet]

If it showed 100% usage while you're downloading / updating a game on Steam... this is normal?

[opal light]

^

[formal sonnet]

Also, that looks like a wonderfully "no name" brand SSD from RandomCompanyName so I would expect 100% disk usage even when the computer is powered off. (not actually, but no-name SSD's come in a variety of qualities. Some are as good as cheap name-brand one's; other's are complete trash.)

[tidal geyser]

sata SSD being c drive is not the best thing

[neon kiln]

But it shouldn't take that long to download 700mb , I'm thinking I should upgrade

[tidal geyser]

what do you mean fanxian is the most known ssd brand see its amazon choice too

[neon kiln]

It's the only drive in the pc

[formal sonnet]

When you update games it's not just the download speed... your PC has to unpack the update, then apply it, which LARGELY depends on your CPU and storage drive.

[tidal geyser]

its decompression

[rigid fjord]

no

[opal light]

run crystaldiskmark if you are concerned about the speeds

[left dove]

4tb minimum in 2026

[glossy veldt]

four tera whats?

[formal sonnet]

Depends on the games you play. Only you can prevent forest fires running out of disk space.

[neon kiln]

Oh right, I've got an i7-7700k, which I had also in my old pc along with a 1tb m.2 - had no issues with that pc

[tidal geyser]

why not use the m.2 in this pc?

[opal light]

^

[tidal geyser]

that makes no sense

[neon kiln]

No slot on the mobo

Considering buying a pcie adapter for one though

[tidal geyser]

what motherboard

[formal sonnet]

Righto so... what are the variable changes here? 😉 If you had the same CPU but a different SSD... think.

[left dove]

Eeeeeee

[spring latch]

thx but its a siren

[neon kiln]

MSI H110 Eco

[spring latch]

[tidal geyser]

wait h110 with a 7700k?

[spring latch]

sentry siren

[random gyro]

everyone needs to buy this innovate new amazing product

[neon kiln]

Got it in a bundle 🤣 whole pc was a £170 build

[random gyro]

critics have gone mad standing in lones for it

[formal sonnet]

I love how THX went from being a semi-legitimate audio company to being placebo branding owned by Razer.

[tidal geyser]

so cheap you could not even get the 2 extra sata ports

[spring latch]

really now

[formal sonnet]

Really. It's like Dolby, but worse. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/THX

[random gyro]

razer produce top quality products

[left dove]

Ok kiddo

[formal sonnet]

They used to. I mean, their software has always been poorly developed, but their hardware from pre-2013 was great. I miss their original Blackwidow and Deathadder from 2013. Same with old Steelseries products.

[spring latch]

I have never used razer, and I can tell you for 100% certain, using razer is like being cut by a razor blade, a rusty on at that

[south arrow]

Images you can hear

[spring latch]

but my point is this lines up well with the siren shown in this video at the end

[neon kiln]

Wdym? I got the MOBO , 16gb of ddr4, i7-7700k and a 1650 for about £80. Didn't have a high budget when I built it but wanna know what I should upgrade now I have the cash

[random gyro]

no i looked at top 10 gaming mice of the year and razer had a lot of mouses

[tidal geyser]

at least you got ram

[south arrow]

https://youtu.be/Sfg9DVwOd9w?si=yJJPV3JD87EHxgAV

[spring latch]

doesnt mean they're good

[spring latch]

ive got more ram

[tidal geyser]

so i would have a look at getting a amd cpu something around a r5 3600 and should be able to find a decent bundle with whatever motherboard, and with it i would try and get something like a a770 or something

[spring latch]

less than you but more than that guy

[random gyro]

so is logitech or steelseries better

or tommy

[formal sonnet]

Do. Not. Buy. Based. On. Brand. Name. Alone.

Research a variety of products from multiple brands to find the best one that suits your needs.

[spring latch]

i dont know how steelseries is now but I used to have them, but what @formal sonnet said, dont buy based on name brands

[left trellis]

I have a 4070 ti super, person has 3070 + cash

is 350 a reasonable ask ?

[left trellis]

both tend to be butt 😭

[dense escarp]

just buy whatever mouse has the best hand feel and features you're looking for

[random gyro]

hmm 1 sec

[spring latch]

I love having a PC that has hardware better than what I need 😊

[random gyro]

a wireless mouse would be nice

this is the best sellerso it good>

[left trellis]

g305 💔

[spring latch]

best seller doesnt mean shit have you heard of bots they fake reviews all the time

look at the actual reviews

[random gyro]

its from logitech

[left trellis]

mouse is buns now twin

[random gyro]

why would lligtech bot reviews

[left trellis]

it was fine 8 years ago 😭

[random gyro]

ok then 1 sec

[spring latch]

fuck this bot

[spring latch]

dawg

[random gyro]

thats newer

[spring latch]

logitech isnt selling that on amazon I guarentee it, its almost ALWAYS resellers

who CAN bot reviews

[random gyro]

it says logitech g store

[spring latch]

that still means nothing, thats just where it CAME from

[random gyro]

or there this

[spring latch]

no razer

[random gyro]

ok

is this solid

for general use

there also this

[plain cypress]

I'm so very behind on this conversation
I just immediately recognized mt hood 😭

[tulip sparrow]

Is intel really only giving us a max of 4 p cores again? Games need 6 cores honestly

[fallen sky]

Are we serious

[rain ravine]

Linus got dem rings

[fallen sky]

why so big

[rain ravine]

idk

saturno linuserno

:)

[fallow yacht]

should be 500 at best lmao

[fallen sky]

Dust collector too

That should be -$50

[rain ravine]

wheres the gpu gng

[fallen sky]

Right there

[rain ravine]

ight

[tidal geyser]

well no, i think every game they showed is very much gpu bound and the e and even lpe cores are FAST

[unique olive]

What’s a gpu gng

[tidal geyser]

but the big reason is more around battery efficiency

[rigid fjord]

well i found him a 55-200mm lens that he could afford for his d3400, and 2 sets of neweer filters for the lenses and for his telescope

[fallen sky]

damn a d3400

[tidal geyser]

but i do really wonder if the P cores are fast enough for most games or not as i know on the desktop cpus they just did not allow the game to use anything but the p cores.

https://tenor.com/view/yoink-cat-dragged-gif-1263419341748157821

[fallen sky]

Now THIS is a goated listing

[mint umbra]

why do we even need more cores like doesnt that like 9800x3d only have 8

[tidal geyser]

at least it supports windows 11

[fallen sky]

Not bad at all

[mint umbra]

guess for productivity stuff might need them

[tidal geyser]

you know gaming is not the only thing but also games can take advantage of more than 8 cores its just not a lot of games are able to as intel mostly tops out at 8p cores while amd tops out at 8 per CCD

and with intel you have the benefit of the e cores doing other stuff like anti virus or windows update work

[woeful phoenix]

Worth the RAM

[tidal geyser]

i really wanna ping a mod but at the same time i do not wanna bother them for this

Lunar lake mentioned

[thin bloom]

I don't know how well i can explain it with out showing an image. I'm not home right now but a gpu I eventually want to get has 2 8 pin power ports but my psu has 2 6+2 connectors on the same power line. I don't know if that will cause problems or not

[tidal geyser]

might maybe wanna wait like 2 weeks

https://tenor.com/view/panther-luna-waaah-puma-black-panther-scared-gif-1510541925154317590

[tidal geyser]

what does 6+2 =

[thin bloom]

8

Why you ask?

[spring latch]

6+2 are 8 pin if you usethe extra 2 pins

[thin bloom]

Here is the power connector on the gpu

[jovial swan]

Y?

[tidal geyser]

panther lake

[jovial swan]

Whats the diff between Core 7 155H and Core ultra 7 258V

[tidal geyser]

V is way better

[jovial swan]

Ah, well that laptop theres on sale,

[tidal geyser]

was about to say

worst case last gen will be cheaper

[jovial swan]

Im currently selling my desktop locally as i wanna switch fully to laptop (gotta break my gaming habit)

[tidal geyser]

ok yea do not get a panther lake then

great for gaming maybe even great enough to sit around a RTX 4050m in terms of performance

[jovial swan]

So i need something thats still good enough for the like 2 games i play now a days.
Warthunder and hearts of iron IV

[thin bloom]

This is from my pc. So will there be a problem if I pulg both connectors you see into the gpu i want to get?

[tidal geyser]

o yea the 140v aka the igpu in the 258V is better than a 890m aka amds best non 3k$ igpu

i think the arc 140v is around maybe 1660 performance maybe

[jovial swan]

Ah, my desktop currently has these specs
Ryzen 7 7700
RTX 4070
32 GB ram.
Spare me the downgrade stuff, i wanna switch. But i am not sure if i should go with
Ryzen ai 330/340/350
Ryzen 7900/8840H/U

[tidal geyser]

i know someone doing the same thing

they are now waiting for panther lake

[jovial swan]

Also idk if i should go for pcspecialist configure yourself, or framework (idk if framework ships to Denmark)

[tidal geyser]

hvorfor er du våken så sent

[jovial swan]

I want something with a display better than 1920x1200

[jovial swan]

Kan inte sove.

[tidal geyser]

most laptops at ces i think are like 2.8k or better oled

[mint umbra]

how do I manually install drivers for motherboard like do I need to go inbios

[jovial swan]

Yeh, i want a 2880x1880 display.

[tidal geyser]

no

[jovial swan]

This has got a 120 hz 2.8K OLED display

[tidal geyser]

for a sec i thought that was in sek/nok

[jovial swan]

Its dkk.

[tidal geyser]

but still 1000$ for that is not bad

pantherlake cheapest in the us is reported to be 1300 so add 25% on top of that

[jovial swan]

Indeed someone has offered me 7000 dkk for my desktop, so can afford it. But i wanna get more for my Desktop

[tidal geyser]

my ram alone is that much

[clever totem]

would a 2nd hand 6700xt be a better choice than a new intel b580

[jovial swan]

Wouldnt be a problem, if i can get 7.5K dkk for my desktop and i then wait untill the 30th ill get another 8.6K payed out on top, so will have a budget of like 16-17k dkk. But i refuse to use that much on a laptop

[quick stag]

Guys I just finished an hour long video about llm’s in 3 hours cause I took 3000 words of notes and 5 full pages

[tidal geyser]

its more about what you value a good warranty vs tried and true gpu that has already lasted for years

[quick stag]

About llms

[formal sonnet]

Just use the 2x 6+2 pin PCIe cables from your power supply... So long as it delivers enough watts, you're good.

[jovial swan]

Hello mod. How are you doing

Fair

[tidal geyser]

its so annoying as im sitting here with a OLED laptop i got for 30$ with a 12700h

2.8k and 90hz too

[plain cypress]

Kitty pond

[jovial swan]

Oh Yeah i saw that one on sale in Elgiganten (elkjop) some time ago, was close to buying it but figured it wouldnt be worth

[tidal geyser]

m yes

[thin bloom]

Okay. I wasn't sure if they would cause an issue since they be feeding power from the same line since they are pigtailed

[tidal geyser]

i love finn

i just bought a laptop for 150$ just for its battery

Acer Predator Helios 300

[south arrow]

Actually doesnt sound to shabby

[tidal geyser]

if i repair the helios might even get a pretty massive profit from this little kit of acers

the oled laptop alone i think i could get a easy 800$ for if i sold it in the right places

[formal sonnet]

Fair question, though... if this did cause issues, I would expect Power Supply manufacturers to not provide such cables in the first place. 😉 The only situation where one might run into issues with this could be if they're using a Power Supply of dubious quality, though that's more of an issue with the PSU itself and not the cables.

[tidal geyser]

eh maybe not but at least 600 should be possible

[tidal geyser]

iv owned 500w PSUs without any pcie cables

[tidal geyser]

o wow looks like its possible for the acer to have a I7-10750H and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070

[frigid blade]

God I hate bitlocker and HP “gaming” PCs

It took me an hour to get past the fuckass bitlocker and reset the password for the bios

[tidal geyser]

HP does not really make gaming laptops they rather sell it under OMEN

[frigid blade]

Yah but it’s under HP, its not a laptop

[tidal geyser]

just do not use bitlocker simple as that, well it would be if it was enabled by default

[frigid blade]

I reset the cmos 4 times and it just would keep the same exact password for the bios

I would get the “CMOS reset detected please restart” and it would just keep the password

[frigid blade]

I don’t and I never will, I’m fixing a friends computer

Idk why tf they have bitlocker

Somehow he figured out how to set a bios password and set it to Apple thinking it was his windows login

Never question the ability of someone who knows nothing about computers to do something this deep into it

she is here

https://tenor.com/view/meloncola-13elive-gif-18293304

[thin bloom]

I don't know if mine was built cheap or used. I know when I bought mine on Amazon it was 80 bucks usd and I think it was brand new? It's been in my pc for 3 years now with no problems since my pc draws low power and barely puts a heavy load onto it

[light turret]

now i just need the motherboard, psu and cpu cooler

[tidal geyser]

how many days

[light turret]

what motherboard would you choose to pair this gpu and a ryzen 7 9700x

[tidal geyser]

the one that is coming

[light turret]

?

[tidal geyser]

o pleas do not tell me its another person spending all their money each month on each part each month

[light turret]

its 2 months

i just bought gpu, ram and cpu

[tidal geyser]

o well at least its not the dumbest time to do that

cpu might go down in price but the rest god no

[light turret]

i did because the price hike is coming

[tidal geyser]

fyi buy a ssd now

[light turret]

i got a good one

[tidal geyser]

ah nice

[light turret]

back to the question at hand

[light turret]

that

[tidal geyser]

any cheap motherboard as it does not really matter much

[light turret]

dont hate me, but i am kinda also going for looks

[tidal geyser]

i would rec for at least 3 nvme slots and tbh that is about it maybe wifi and bluetooth on the board too and you do not need to think about it later.

[light turret]

any board in particular?

[dense escarp]

bruh wym thats the meta. especially if u can find deals for each part

[tidal geyser]

just use the sorting filters on pcpartpicker

[tidal geyser]

prices changes all the time and you cant exactly use a cpu without a board

i have seen a handful of people spend way too much on a computer and have to sell it quickly after building it

[dense escarp]

thats fine. if u dont need the PC right away then waiting on parts is not an issue. but i get your point of buying everything at once. you just might end up spending more though

[light turret]

i got my case for a great deal for example

[dense escarp]

i saved 1300 doing it the way i did. i spent 1800

[tidal geyser]

you did not really save anything

you got a 1800$ pc for the price of 1800$

a few months ago before the whole fuckery a 7800X3D and 5070 ti pc was around that price

[light turret]

well, if he had saved up the money for one big purchase later, it wouldve cost mroe

[dense escarp]

ok well, i avoided spending 3200 for a 1800 pc. I didnt have the 1800 to spend 6 months ago

[light turret]

my point

[tidal geyser]

i dono i just have a shit ton of money saved up before buying anything as suddenly my phone can just die or something

[light turret]

not everyone can do that

[tidal geyser]

why

[light turret]

i can only save my summer bonus

[tidal geyser]

i have no job

[dense escarp]

what you're saying makes sense, but not for the past couple months where everything has slowly been rising

[tidal geyser]

only started around half a month before decenmber

was kinda slow but like i said we are not in good times

i spent most of my time building pc parts list before it

[dense escarp]

so then how are you generating income to spend all the money at once for a pc build or a phone?

[high elm]

you think youre rich? get on my level.

[dense escarp]

real

[high elm]

i transcend richness

[tidal geyser]

make computers

[high elm]

donations appreciated thx

[tidal geyser]

im selling off most of it now tho

[dense escarp]

so building pcs?

[tidal geyser]

better to call it refurbishing

[light turret]

hey good for you, so you do have a job then

[dense escarp]

i wanna start doing this too.

[high elm]

flipping pc’s isnt a good business like actually they sit on your shelves for too long

[dense escarp]

its a good side hustle

[high elm]

and its usually scumbags who also are trying to flip pcs lowballjng you

[light turret]

its still a business tho

[high elm]

its not worth the time

[tidal geyser]

its a hobby

[high elm]

like legit a job is way better

[tidal geyser]

easy does not mean fun

[light turret]

recently saw a "high end" pc with a i5 5600 and a rx 580

[high elm]

yea i’d call it a hobby not a serious way to make money

[tidal geyser]

i love being able to just not give a dam for a week

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/anime-rainbow-spew-disgust-disgusted-gif-10750848403272902220

yea no i started doing this since i saw that kinda stuff

i manage to somehow undercut the market while still making a decent profit

look at me using facy words

guess how much i spent on this laptop

[light turret]

what was the condition

[tidal geyser]

this

[light turret]

currency?

[tidal geyser]

use USD

[light turret]

80

[quick stag]

guys gemini-cli is really cool

[tidal geyser]

nop

[light turret]

higher or lower

[quick stag]

specs?

[tidal geyser]

it has a 12700h and 2.8k oled

for you too chris

[light turret]

hmm

[quick stag]

uhmm

[light turret]

threefiddy

[quick stag]

350?

[light turret]

350

[tidal geyser]

fyi this is the main way im managing to survive

[quick stag]

as long as you check the commands it runs it's fine

[tidal geyser]

remove a zero

[quick stag]

what.

[light turret]

i asked higher or lower bro

[tidal geyser]

yea and i gave the specs :3

[light turret]

my guess wouldve been 35 if you said lower 💀

[tidal geyser]

technically if i was local 15$

but a 60$ hinge and a 40$ battery with like 5$ for screws then like 50$ for a ssd and its back in perfect shape

so under 200$ 12700h and 2.8k OLED laptop

in near mint condition ish

[light turret]

nice

[tidal geyser]

not gonna believe this one

btw nok to USD is just remove a zero

[dense escarp]

good shit. so do u just gamble on "broken" pc's hoping they're fixable?

[tidal geyser]

not a gamble at my level

[dense escarp]

how can you tell if its fixable or not?

[tidal geyser]

water damage

[frigid blade]

Here’s the computer I worked on today

[tidal geyser]

even then iv repaired enough now to say i can do it

[tidal geyser]

windows and 8GB of ram is something

at least its not soldered

[frigid blade]

Hey, I don’t question my clients choices

I just do what they say

[dense escarp]

so anything not water damaged is free game huh

[tidal geyser]

have at ye

[tidal geyser]

yup people do just price stuff pretty badly most times

[frigid blade]

tbh I’ve ran it pretty smooth on 4GB before I think

[rain ravine]

elo people

[tidal geyser]

like 400$ laptop with a GTX gpu or smn that is not working at all

[frigid blade]

You just need IoT Enterprise

[rain ravine]

https://tenor.com/view/radal-babushka-elo-hello-gif-25706003

[dense escarp]

what if you find out it costs too much to repair once you're done troubleshooting?

[tidal geyser]

i got it still uses too much kinda

[frigid blade]

Windows 7 is really low use tho

I remember testing different OS’s

The difference between 7 and 10/11 is a lot

I think idle it uses less than a GB

[tidal geyser]

im now down to motherboard level repair and i never buy at a bad price as in even at times i can repalce the motherboard and still take home a decent chunk of change

[dense escarp]

is a microscope really necessary for most pcb repairs?

[tidal geyser]

like i tired repairing a x1 carbon gen 9 i got for free but the PD chip was BGA and it was my first time soo yeeeaaa

[tidal geyser]

nope just really really really helpful and i really need to save up for one

[dense escarp]

oh ok. cuz soldering is pretty easy. then its just learning to read the layout of the board and sourcing parts

[tidal geyser]

ah i should buy trace repair stuff tommorow

[light turret]

fuck

[dense escarp]

lol yeah. probably should keep some handy

[frigid blade]

I can’t wait for NWR to try repairing that ram

It’s gonna be a good video if they get it fixed

[light turret]

did you actually get in contact with him

[tidal geyser]

he sent the ram

[quick stag]

the store i work at has just completely stopped selling 8gb ram devices

[light turret]

because of the shortage or because they want more money

so they take the options

[tidal geyser]

one funny thing, i got a decently sized bag of SMD parts as i took the trash from some company i was a like 2 week apprentice at or whatever its called in english

[light turret]

internship?

[frigid blade]

I’m on the waiting list

[light turret]

amazing

[tidal geyser]

its more a school thing

[frigid blade]

Not yet, waiting list taking forever

[light turret]

trainee?

[tidal geyser]

nah

its just being there for 2 weeks to see how it is to actually work

[dense escarp]

mine sells shitty 4gb laptops with windows 11 on it installed and 64gb of emmc for $200

[frigid blade]

4-8 months waiting list, I don’t wanna pay $75 for the 2-3 weeks

[tidal geyser]

then right back to school for the next year

[frigid blade]

Cuz then I’m out $125 if the repair doesn’t go well

[light turret]

ill pay that if we get to see that faster

[carmine yew]

next level cosplay

[light turret]

wait, no, i am broke atm

[frigid blade]

How do you even think of this

[light turret]

watch the movie? have big brain? trivago?

[frigid blade]

Let’s hope it doesn’t crash

I don’t wanna repair a bricked motherboard

[light turret]

how do you do that actually

[frigid blade]

wtf I can see the individual rgb on that monitor

With that photo

[tidal geyser]

reprogram bios chip

not fun

[light turret]

how does that work?

[frigid blade]

I almost had to buy the thing for reprogramming them on an older build when I was making one for myself

But I ended up telling Amazon it came bricked

Much simpler

[frigid blade]

You have to desolder and put it in this little programmer thing

[light turret]

oh no fuck that

what a pain

[frigid blade]

https://img-c.udemycdn.com/course/750x422/4537120_4fd9.jpg

These you can use to not have to remove the chip from the board I think

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/scares-me-i-fear-no-man-gif-21507033

[tidal geyser]

the chip needs to be on the board for these

[frigid blade]

Yah that’s good

When I was looking I couldn’t find anything like that

[tidal geyser]

but the issue is sometimes you need to take the chip off from some boards

[frigid blade]

This was many years ago, either I was dumb or they didn’t exist

Probably was dumb

[tidal geyser]

ye

one sad thing is that there aint many people who sell their broken computers here

o well at least i got a x13 gen 2 and gen 3 on the way

[quick stag]

that's just bad business

[tidal geyser]

i dono if someone just needs a laptop as cheap as possible why not

i have had a handful of people buy some of mine just for getting them trough the week

btw this is how to make coca cola

[bitter rampart]

Can we get an extra 1k on this short pls

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/asta-demon-liebe-black-clover-gif-22963717

kirashi bought anything fun recently?

[formal sonnet]

RTX 5060 Ti, Sonos Roam 2, Lenovo Idea Tab Plus. The latter 2 were for family members.

[tidal geyser]

iv seen one of em idea tabs for a decent price but never ended buying one

and i might get myself a 5060 ti e-gpu

[jovial swan]

Jesus Christ SSD prices go wild (this is like 10K or smth USD)

[tidal geyser]

this is the main reason i stopped building computers

[jovial swan]

[tidal geyser]

anyhow its almost 4am now and uh you go to sleep too

the nords need their sleep

[jovial swan]

I would if i could, Ive got heart palpation issues atm, so i just gotta relax. Lol

[tidal geyser]

[jovial swan]

[carmine yew]

how did you put up with that thread

[violet briar]

Suggestions on a good case? Trying to upgrade its been a minute

[carmine yew]

whatever fits your stuff and you like

cases are super personal items, so you pick something you like

[violet briar]

What about an aio

[carmine yew]

overkill for most cpu's, but get what you want

[mint umbra]

looking on support page for for my motherboard and cant find bluetooth drivers

and cant find them am I cooked

[carmine yew]

a 35-40$ dual tower air cooler will support nearly every consumer cpu on the maarket

I just see like chipset drivers and stuff

[carmine yew]

link the page

[mint umbra]

[mint umbra]

hope this fixes my issues lol

well I updated drivers and still getting this

[carmine yew]

uhhhh i have some bad news for you

look closely at the picture you just posted

Look at the name of the bluetooth drivers

do you see anything different

lmao

Its why it would be a disaster if I ever tried linux

[dense escarp]

some ppl fawn over the fact that they can get a laptop for that price and actually buy them. sometimes they go on sale for 120 lmfao

[tulip sparrow]

AMD does NOT use Intel wifi cards out of the box. Limited to mediatek from factory I am pretty sure so unless you added Intel wifi card there is something seriously wrong there

[zealous plover]

I'm having the urge to buy a macbook

But I can't

[tulip sparrow]

and yes wifi is GARBAGE on AMD platforms out of the box thanks to that little fact

[charred shale]

Linux is mostly memorization, hell, and reading the documentation manuals when you got nothing else to do.

[steel umbra]

they added it back

[tulip sparrow]

I have had updates from the official repos brick my linux install several times now and once had to use chroot to get in and fix it

[south arrow]

[true drift]

windows issues huh?

i feel like i see this everyday lol

[charred shale]

I had a (forgot the name) wifi install lock on raspian because of something I did wrong,and it prevented me from updating since two installs collided somehow and broke the file that controlled it? It was weeks of trying to fix but i did it and never looked back on that moment.

[tulip sparrow]

I hhave had to use this a number of times thanks to updates breaking my system in one way or another https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Pacman/Tips_and_tricks#Reinstalling_all_packages

This is the average arch experience

I ignored the install on my laptop for too long and it wouldn't update

24GB of ram and an i5 7400 already does wonders compared to e.g minehut

[jolly tundra]

So, I got this new pc, it runs bf6 and cs2 moothly 120 frames, oblivion remastered 75 and cyberpunk more, but every other game they keep the frames and graph8cs but constantly stutter. Game freeze and fps drops every 3-5 seconds

Specs:
Ryzen 7 7800x3d
5060ti 16gb
Ddr5 ram corsair
And am5 mobo

[dawn saffron]

Are ram companies building more fabrication centres ?

[steel umbra]

plunda piratos

i love how compressed the end result looks

[thin bloom]

I didn't realize the gpu I eventually want to buy never was a retail gpu. It was built by lenovo and was sold in a pre-built lenovo pc. So I have minimal information on it besides it's specs and how it looks

It explains why the used price it so high. The gpu sells used around 300 to 400 usd

[mint umbra]

id rather not spend my free time reading manuals

[azure topaz]

literally anything

1gb ram aternos server all you need fr

[spring latch]

abseloutely not

aternos preforms like dogshit, its worse than using portmap to route a minecraft server (which is already VERY slow)

[azure topaz]

it was sarcasm

[foggy shore]

does it look like i should reapply therma paste

[azure topaz]

you always have to when you ttake off your cooler

you cant tell very much aside from you had poor mounting pressure and decent contact

neither of which matter to you

[steel umbra]

can you still spam to go inside and leave a tank in bf6?

like no animation

[tame wadi]

Hey quick question could someone tell me if my fan configuration is ideal or not

[azure topaz]

looks fine

[tame wadi]

Ok cause I swapped motherboard cause my old one had issues and I saw a increase in temps on games

Probably my cpu thermal paste application

[steel umbra]

the bottom intake fan isn’t necessary

but yeah all good

[tame wadi]

Could I move it to the top left on top

To push out

[steel umbra]

ye, top next to the rear fan

don’t put a fan on top where the intake of the cooler is, it’ll just steal cool air

it all doesn’t matter much you’re set up

[tame wadi]

Ah cool ok thanks

[bold olive]

are we not gonna talk about the gpu

[tame wadi]

idk what to do I want to fix the sag but wont it touch the cpu cooler

[azure topaz]

no

[glossy veldt]

holy shit that gpu is BENT

id rather have it on the lower speed bottom pcie slots with something supporting that gargantous card

NW-r videos show gpu sag caused in some cases with the 30 and 40 series cards ripped pads under the core and memory

[tame wadi]

So if I support it with something I should be good right

I’m just worried about the cooler

[steel umbra]

average amount of sag

[steel umbra]

oh yeah i just noticed you put it 180 degrees wrong

shouldn’t matter as long it doesn’t touch the gpu too much

[tame wadi]

Oh how so?

Help. I fucked up my pc. I did this once when I first did it on my old board and now I did it again. Trying to setup tmp 2.0 and boot driver to gpt and secure boot. I thought the windows stuff were still saved to the ssd but no when I replaced the board they got deleted apparently. so I'm back at square one and main boot is the one with my windows on it

[split prawn]

does anyone know why this is happening when trying to open support.opendns.com?

9800x3d gets pretty hot

idk maybe you’re fine, just look into it

If you haven’t

[left trellis]

Aircooler is fine

[steel umbra]

it draws quite more than the 7800x3d yes

that’s why i didn’t like 9800x3d in the first place

not so great performance uplift at the cost of efficiency, i mean if you look at zen5 as a whole it was disappointing

the 9800x3d also raised msrp

i guess it was one of the things that weren’t really disappointing so it was perceived well

it relatively did what it promised

what would I possibly use an rpi5 for

Been sitting in my closet for months

Maybe half a year

@fallen sky I'm trying to fix a fuck up I did

[fallen sky]

might as well wipe everything and start fresh

Reminds me of when I got the OIETIF virus

fun times

Everything gone

[thin bloom]

I think there is ways to get around it

[fallen sky]

Why not click system restore

Or safe mode

[thin bloom]

I have shit saved to my main windows ssd that I don't want to lose

[formal sonnet]

You won't lose it - you can just restore from your last known-good tested backup... You do make backups, right?

[proper gull]

Lesson 1: boot drive is boot drive. If something can be installed to or stored on another drive, do it.

[cold skiff]

Lesson 2: Do not trust the boot drive.

[formal sonnet]

Lesson 3: always backup your data.

[inland breach]

I think I am getting my head around AMD undervolting, I am running cinebench for 10 mins per cycle increasing the Curve optimizer negative offset by -2 each time.

[fallen sky]

I never do

[cold skiff]

-2? -5 per time buddy

[proper gull]

ok rich guy /s

[cold skiff]

Then crash and reign it back until your stable again

[inland breach]

Well, so far I have reached -36 on a 9900x3d

[cold skiff]

All core?

[inland breach]

Yepp

[cold skiff]

Now do it in occt for a full multi core cycle

[inland breach]

Actually it's -38

[proper gull]

I'm only rich enough to have a couple 1tb sata ssds and the nvme boot drive, not for backups

[cold skiff]

If you can do that in Occt you’ve got a super golden sample

[cosmic idol]

I can max it out on my 5600 but then performance goes down the toilet

if we’re talking about pbo..

[inland breach]

Undervolting is new to me, I only just understood the curve optimizer

[cold skiff]

The suggestion is generally no more than -30 all core for stability, even on golden samples

[cosmic idol]

I can do -30 but the performance becomes worse than stock iirc

at least in r23

I forgor what I have it set to rn
I think it’s in the range of -15 to -17??

But that gets me like 12000mc in r23, which is alright for a 5600 non x

[inland breach]

Is a 10 minute cine bench multicore generally enough for stability testing?

[cold skiff]

One of my cores doesn’t like more than -23 and I’m too lazy to do each core. I just use -20 all core as that’s stable

[inland breach]

Because I am quite surprised it hasn't crashed yet

[cold skiff]

Nope. Not when doing that level of undervolting

OCCT full/paid

[cosmic idol]

Ngl I could go in and do per core optimisation, but that’ll take ages

[thin bloom]

Um... what you mean? Put the data on a different storage device? Everything would of been on onedrive but I ran out of data on it

[cold skiff]

Yeah i haven’t time for that either

[formal sonnet]

Yep, you could put important data onto another storage device, pay to increase your cloud storage, or do without the data. Really boils down to what your data is worth. You never know when a drive is going to die on you...

[cold skiff]

One drive

[ivory olive]

I overclocked these generic ram sticks to 6000 CL28 36 36 72 at 1.45v

[azure topaz]

theyre hynix

ist not really mindblowing that they did that

[ivory olive]

I guess this is how to get cheap ram.

[azure topaz]

my hynix greenies did 8600

[cosmic idol]

Ngl I know nothing about ram/ram oc

[azure topaz]

hynix d5=good

[ivory olive]

Yeah but I'm trying to sell them that's why I purposely did amd expo timing to market amd people

[cold skiff]

Stick some heatsinks on. Scalp them to high heaven.

[azure topaz]

just program an XMP profile to them

[cosmic idol]

I got quite spicy chilli sauce up my nose and it fucking hurts

[ivory olive]

I did haha

It's still almost 60c tho lol

[azure topaz]

this isnt sarcasm altho idk if you can do this with a kit that doesnt have an xmp profile already

[ivory olive]

I even kept the sticker

[azure topaz]

because it isnt measuring the chips

its measuring the power delivery

SPD temp

[ivory olive]

Pmic?

[azure topaz]

SPD is the thingy in the middle of the sticks

yeah my bad

[ivory olive]

I put pads on the pmic tho...

[azure topaz]

ur putting pads on a whole bunch of unevenly sized components

[ivory olive]

It's prob 2X32 lol

[azure topaz]

running naked with a fan on them is the best way to do temps

[ivory olive]

I see. Well 60 ain't bad. Not gonna bother take em out.

[azure topaz]

60 aint bad no but i am informing you

[cosmic idol]

I wanna mess around with my mem too but iirc the performance gains are negligible lmao

[azure topaz]

ran my klevv sticks with no heatsinks after i took them off and they didnt go above 40

well, like 43.something

[ivory olive]

Wow. Nice.

[cosmic idol]

Yummy

[azure topaz]

at like, 1.7something volts

[cosmic idol]

Real mfs shunt mod their ram for 5 volts

[thin bloom]

Yeah no. I have never did a storage backup besides using one drives free subscription. Since I'm fucked at least I have this external hard drive. I probably will install it into the pc since the anchors on the data port broke completely off the board but it some what works and is a bitch to deal with

[ivory olive]

I have this teamgroup kit and after I'm done messing with this. Hopefully it's also Hynix

[azure topaz]

there we go

[inland breach]

OCCT .... Never seen this tool before... Glad I asked

[azure topaz]

naked no heatsinks

[ivory olive]

Omg I do that as well!

[azure topaz]

peeled off the leds after a while

[cosmic idol]

Is it a floppa rig if there ain’t a fan on the ram

[azure topaz]

7 years ago

[cosmic idol]

..lmfao

[inland breach]

If it survives a 1 hour torture test, go from -38 to -40?

[ivory olive]

This is mine

[azure topaz]

current

[cosmic idol]

That’s….
That’s actually gorgeous ngl

[ivory olive]

Thanks!

[cosmic idol]

There’s a lot of rgb but it’s honestly not overwhelming

[thin bloom]

You know what I'm just going to install it. I'm going to install windows on it then move everything from my ssd to my gaming ssd. Then install a fresh windows on the ssd and in able that thing so I can eventually install m.2 storage devices on to the board. Since my current windows doesn't have it in able

[azure topaz]

now lets seee the memory tune

[thin bloom]

I just remembered it's a bitch to get the shell off that's covering the hard drive

Hope this hard drive last for a while. I think it's the original one that went with the shell around it

[azure topaz]

500 whole jiggabytes

[empty quartz]

Only 5v?

Side note; those wd green drives are immortal

[azure topaz]

i use hgst drives

[empty quartz]

Its funny because the wd blue hdd’s make samsung ssd’s seem reliable

[cold skiff]

Cinebench? Still don’t trust it

[thin bloom]

You can see how fucked up the data port is. I did my best to fix it. I'm going to guess it fell off a desk a partially broke since it was some what contented to the board still when I got it and it had no data on it so this could of been a brand new hard drive never used and left forgot since it felt like the shell was never taken off before because it was a bitch to remove it

[empty quartz]

[inland breach]

9900x3D

Temps are quite toasty at 77C though

[azure topaz]

do a core cycling workload with AVX2/auto instruction set on extreme

[azure topaz]

no theyre not

77 is bing chilling

[azure topaz]

should be somewhere in occt

if youre doing PBO curve optimiser thats basically the only/best way to test

[azure topaz]

extreme mode

but if you were already doing normal and thats what the 30 minutes was then youre probably ifne

as long as it was core cycling

[inland breach]

I'll run that test on extreme - it's a bit awkward how I just learned about undervolting. I just want to make sure I'm stress testing correctly

[thin bloom]

I do hope the hard drive be fine free floating in the bottom of the case since I don't feel like installing the hard drive cage because have to move wires out of the away and blocking air flow to the other 2 bottom fans

[inland breach]

the fact that it's been stable at -38 - I start questioning if I'm doing it correctly

[azure topaz]

ryzen cpus boost quite extremely

[inland breach]

I've seen a substantial increase in the cinebench score

[azure topaz]

each core has a different vid curve and will want to target different voltages at x freq

if its stable at an all core load at say 5200mhz and 1.2 volts that doesnt mean its going to be stable in a lower core count load at 5400mhz and 1.25v

doing a core cycling workload ensures that each core is boosting the highest they can

[inland breach]

is core cycling a better stress test for finding the undervolt limit?

[azure topaz]

yes

[inland breach]

cool, good to know

[azure topaz]

cinebench is pretty bad

[inland breach]

it's been 5 years since I built a new PC... the concept of undervolting is new to me

[azure topaz]

undervolting is much older than 5 years

i was doing a lot of the same ram overclocking stuff i was doing on DDR3, on DDR5

@azure topaz im debating getting myself a 9070xt and an alphacool waterblock

[cosmic idol]

I want a 9070xt
But motorbike comes first

[empty quartz]

Nuh uh

[cosmic idol]

How does one spend this much on a webcam

[azure topaz]

moderately content with my computer

[empty quartz]

This segue to our sponsor comes first @cosmic idol

[azure topaz]

allat for my free iphone se2 to be better

[cosmic idol]

Fr

[azure topaz]

or alternatively once i fix the screen my 50$ ipone 14

[cosmic idol]

my webcam and mic are literally like 30usd total lmao

and they’re both from aldi

[azure topaz]

just gotta have good lighting and control exposure yourself

[empty quartz]

Allat for my free segue to our sponsor

[cosmic idol]

[cosmic idol]

im gonna give you something else that’s free if you don’t be quiet

[empty quartz]

Huh

Free oxygen? :3

[cosmic idol]

..no

[empty quartz]

[azure topaz]

i unironically use an se2 as my webcam

[cosmic idol]

Im like
Mid with my computer
It runs my games
But I want more res more fps

[azure topaz]

so youre not happy

[cosmic idol]

It’s solid for 1080p tho ngl

but im not at 1080p

[empty quartz]

When im using my macbook, i use my 16 pro max and its 4k 120 video as my webcam

I hate using it though, you can see every pore on my skin

[cosmic idol]

I wouldn’t say unhappy
I want more but cannot warrant spending so much for more just yet

[azure topaz]

insane webcam setup

[empty quartz]

Sell a kidney, boom profit

[azure topaz]

just a super super super warm led and a phone clip and my se2 i got from work

[ivory mountain]

holy early

[cosmic idol]

If it works it works icl

[azure topaz]

it works great

[cosmic idol]

Don’t tempt me

[empty quartz]

I might eventually get a better capture card, and a camera for my setup

[ivory mountain]

this unironically probably looks better than 90% of webcams too

[empty quartz]

My current capture card can do 4k30, or 1080p 60

[azure topaz]

it does

[azure topaz]

either 1080 120 or i can do 4k 60 and auto focus along with low light tolerance is much better

[empty quartz]

Usb2 :(

[azure topaz]

what do i care

[empty quartz]

You need usb 3.0

[azure topaz]

its a web cam

[azure topaz]

not i dont

[empty quartz]

Yes you do, you need to transfer your soul

[azure topaz]

its literal only purpose is a camera

it doesnt move from there

[empty quartz]

Even my 2017 ipad has usb 3.0

Using a 16 pin variant of lightning

[azure topaz]

thats cool

[empty quartz]

Apple doing literally anything but give people what they wanted back in 2017

[azure topaz]

i got the phone for free

[empty quartz]

I eated

And replaced it with an iphone 3gs

[cold skiff]

You mean making a battery that lasts more than 24 months?

[thin bloom]

I'm going to do the data transfer later. I would try to do it now but I don't feel like it and it's around 2 am for me. Today is going to be a nightmare just trying to do the data transfer and adding gpu drivers since I might be getting a 80 dollar rx5600 for my pc and eventually upgrad to the one I want. I was suppose to get the gpu yesterday but "apparently" the guy wasn't getting my Facebook messager notifications from me

[azure topaz]

ok

instead of a 200$ webcam maybe get a 2080 or something

a general thought

"ermm uhh actually uhh i cant for some obscure reason"

[thin bloom]

The gpu i have my eye on it 3080

[azure topaz]

300-400$

[azure topaz]

you spend more money this way instead of just saving for slightly longer

[thin bloom]

Yes a for a some what rare 3080 if you want to call it that

[azure topaz]

needlessly paying more money for no reason

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/TcG2FT/gigabyte-gaming-oc-radeon-rx-9060-xt-16-gb-video-card-gv-r9060xtgaming-oc-16gd
or get a new 9060xt

[tidal geyser]

pleas do not pair a 7700k with a 3080

[ivory mountain]

its so peak

[azure topaz]

oh lMAO

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/watcher-interfere-watcher-will-not-interfere-watcher-what-if-interfere-gif-24268184

well the last part is a lie

[ivory mountain]

yayyy its gonna be cold today

[thorny saddle]

is it?

[tidal geyser]

we have had a few days of like -15

[thorny saddle]

not cold here 🙁

[ivory mountain]

didnt mean to send ts here but yes

[ivory mountain]

wtf

[tidal geyser]

the instant i go outside i feel a sharp pain from the cold air

and then in the summers i get like 30-35c

[jade pawn]

ain't no way Nico bellic is here

[thin bloom]

Why not it be worth in the long term. I'm fine having a bottleneck. Some of the games are gpu hravy

[tidal geyser]

not that heavy

also you only get like a little less than a year of support on windows 10

[thin bloom]

Your saying games won't support 10 no more?

[dense escarp]

am i dumb for buying a windows key for $20?

[arctic bay]

I use debian btw

[tidal geyser]

yes

[tidal geyser]

ew a actual stable os, no thanks i use unstable arch btw

nah as long as its linux it tends to be fine with no real major difference

[arctic bay]

Idk I bricked mint today , a week ago I bricked debian , I prob won't survive on arch

[tidal geyser]

im saying windows 10 aint gonna be free no more later this year at least if you like a secure os, there is also drivers, for now most stuff still has windows 10 drivers but you might buy a new mouse or keyboard or headphones and find out it does not work or you have to do some extra stuff to get it working.

[tidal geyser]

time shift

[arctic bay]

Ya no

I use windows for gaming and as long as it doesn't break I don't mind

[covert peak]

a good entry level 1440p card?

[tidal geyser]

750 ti

or rtx pro 6000

[arctic bay]

Don't buy unless you really need to , prices are high

[tidal geyser]

that is so dumb

[true stirrup]

GPU prices aren't that bad rn

[tidal geyser]

mate they are cheap right now but they will only go up as stock goes down

[arctic bay]

Is true but many people estimate shortsge will be over by 2027

[tidal geyser]

buying a gpu right now is one of the smartest things you can do right now

[true stirrup]

Holy
This could be great if it works

[tidal geyser]

people did that with 2020 too and then had to wait 3-4 years before buying a new gpu

[arctic bay]

Ok I guess

[thin bloom]

Oh yeah i forgot I accepted the free security that Microsoft was giving out when they shut down support on 10

[dense escarp]

lol why?

[tidal geyser]

you can get them for free

i cant say anything more than that tho

[arctic bay]

Dude just install windows regularly and don't enter the key

[dense escarp]

seems like too much trouble to go through. doubt theres any guides online too

[arctic bay]

That's it

[dense escarp]

it was only $20 either way

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/frieren-spin-gif-17702531132168795211

[arctic bay]

That's not only

[bold olive]

ebay is a joke to you

[thin bloom]

Since I'm trying to do a data transfer on my ssd that has my broken windows on it. The new windows can't read the ssd. I have to look into it later. That's why I stopped doing it earlier

[bold olive]

get a 2070 or 2080 super

[somber zealot]

are you perhaps into some sketchy business

[somber zealot]

or a 2060 pc that’s old as heck but works perfectly fine

[arctic bay]

You don't even need to pirate, it literally takes less steps to get unactivated windows than activated

[dense escarp]

debateable

[bold olive]

not really when someone said 750 ti

😭

[thin bloom]

I probably need your guys thinking power if I can't figure it out later

[somber zealot]

It was a joke, that’s my old pc that I’m gonna sell eventually

I didn’t read context lol

[tidal geyser]

read only mode probs

or somehow the file system decided it did not wanna be a system

[bold olive]

@tidal geyser dlss 4.5 included right?

[tidal geyser]

yes

it does not have fp8 tho so you will see a decent performance decrease vs newer cards

[bold olive]

well 30 series used is an option

[tidal geyser]

that also lacks it

i cant be bothered to find the docs but transformer v2 had notes about not the smartest using it on pre 4000 cards

[bold olive]

gt 1030 then

[thin bloom]

So far i think it's some setting in bios since data and power look good. I haven't looked in bios yet. I just took a look at file explorer and saw windows wasn't reading it then tried to switch to the wifi card so I could log into my account but I forgot were to go in the wifi settings

[bold olive]

no dlss bs

[tidal geyser]

at least its better than amd

not even giving you the ability to do it

[dense escarp]

check partitions

[thin bloom]

Me thinking about it and reading my sentences is making me tired

[bold olive]

i remember you have to allow windows to access the drive in the storage manager or smth (the one that shows partitions)

[thin bloom]

https://tenor.com/view/lugi-sleep-luigi-mario-luigi-book-luigi's-mansion-luigi-nap-gif-9233207602314102479

[thin bloom]

Oh yeah I forgot that. I will try and remember to look at it later

[dense escarp]

hopefully your drive is GPT and not MBR

[tidal geyser]

just turn on csm

[dense escarp]

smh. every time i put my pc in sleep mode the stupid ram rgb goes back to rainbow unicorn puke and wont turn off

[tidal geyser]

one of the reasons i sold mine

[thin bloom]

Earlier I thought I plugged my ssd that had my games on it onto the board but no i didn't. at least I had hot plug in able because windows insanity recognized it but It wouldn't do the same thing with the other ssd

[bold olive]

turn on erp

[dense escarp]

bet. lemme try that rn

[bold olive]

happened to my rgb ram, i turned it on and it dissapeared

do note the PC will turn on about 200 milliseconds slower to recover from deep deep sleep

but it's a good tradeoff to force the rainbow unicorn puke to turn off

[thin bloom]

From my replacement board it flashes the blue power case light when asleep and it stays solid when pc running but my old board turns it off when asleep but it pulses the light when running

I prefer my old boards way of controlling the light unlike the replacement board. I can't complain

I could just unplug the light but I'm not going to

Well I'm going to sleep now. I'm really tired. Gn chat

[dense escarp]

now i have the issue of my ram not being controlled by armoury crate. why is rgb software so dog water

[cold skiff]

Armoury crate RGB ram

[delicate zodiac]

where can i buy high quality 16AWG cable extension set with 3x 6+2 pin, 1x 24pin and 2x 4+4pin cable extension without paying high shipping fee? on alibaba they wanted like 20usd for shipping and my budget is not this high

[tidal geyser]

perhaps do not do it?

if you cant even afford 20$ maybe rather spend whatever money that was going to the cables themselves on a better pc than i5 2nd gen and gtx 750 ti

[cold skiff]

Cable extensions for what purpose?

[static crater]

can the new pulsar monitor feature be utilized without an NVIDIA GPU? I have a laptop that only has Ryzen 7 8845HS and no GPU

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/xmgsector-xmg-desktop-gaming-gaming-pc-gif-24564023

[delicate zodiac]

?

[tidal geyser]

why not get a oled monitor?

[tidal geyser]

just use the cables your psu came with

[static crater]

it's a simple question. please dont answer with another question that I dont care about.

[ivory mountain]

well ur a meany so we arent gonna answer

https://tenor.com/view/hmph-gif-16224183

[bold olive]

signalrgb

[ivory mountain]

just use openrgb and run it as admin one time for ur ram to show

[static crater]

whatever, if you can't answer something that simple, I shouldnt be expecting you to be able to begin with

[ivory mountain]

i liked signal until i got spam emails and ads

[bold olive]

which also turns off all rgb devices that you linked into when you put PC on sleep or shutdown or restart etc

[ivory mountain]

oh ik the answer im js not going to answer

[dense escarp]

Tried it. Ts ass

[bold olive]

well ur gon be stuck with armoury crate

[ivory mountain]

just revo uninstall armoury crate and use openrgb as admin, works perfectly

[dense escarp]

Might try this next

[ivory mountain]

bet

didnt mean to reply twice to ur message oops

[dense escarp]

icue is ass too

[stray portal]

I might actually run 4k on my 7800xt

[tidal geyser]

its not fkn out yet, also it was a actual quesiton, from what i can gather considering its g-sync it needs a nvidia gpu.

[static crater]

alright, thank youuuu

[ivory mountain]

im washed i need to work on my ragebaiting skills stan

[tidal geyser]

i wonder how much time it will take until people need to repaste their pulsar modual

[bold olive]

i don't have one anyways

[spark lichen]

are stuff like bookmarks and saved pages saved to the chrome account? like if i log in on a new PC will i still have them? is there a feature on chrome for that? i saw the sync feature but the reddit post i read says that sync doesnt do anything to bookmarks, its just browsing history

[tidal geyser]

yes

[spark lichen]

nice ty

[tidal geyser]

only thing that does not get transferred i believe are cookies

[spark lichen]

i see

welp all of my parts are here so i shall start building it soon

ill probably be back to ask about stuff maybe

[tidal geyser]

o you will

[spark lichen]

[tidal geyser]

trust me you will

[bold olive]

@tidal geyser 8500g or b840

[tidal geyser]

one is a chipset the other cpu

[spark lichen]

also i saw the PSU cables, i totally shoulda bought 3rd party cables, i prob will change them later on, doesnt make sense if i spend that much and the cables are kinda ugly

[bold olive]

they both suck a lot

[bold olive]

honestly

idgaf

[tidal geyser]

nah

plenty of good usecases for em but not for gaming
