[cosmic stratus]

You havnt used AMDs adrenaline bullshit yet

[clear canyon]

better than the old one lol

[winter lantern]

Mine clean

[steel umbra]

the british outcompeted the netherlands because they stole cough borrowed the dutch blueprints but instead of hiring dutch ship builders they hired well, local and cheap builders

[clear canyon]

time to upgrade mouse and keyboard

[ebon marlin]

I had a 6800xt b4 my 5070 Adrenalin was flawless

[mint umbra]

if they made factorys here I wouldnt be mad but importing them without giving canadian jobs sucks

[pure trellis]

I think, you need a bigger desk

[queen trout]

Bro that monitor is loooooong

[cosmic stratus]

Im jking, only issue with mine is a small visual bug

[mint umbra]

this will just end in ppl losing jobs

[jaunty apex]

Who the fuck did this lmao

[cosmic stratus]

Works fine with 2 gpus

[brave brook]

meanwhile my country still makes the most cars per capita

[winter lantern]

They work fine

[cosmic stratus]

Found it a while ago on tt

[mint umbra]

canada goverment doesnt care about ppl losing jobs a guess

[cosmic stratus]

I made it a sticker

[rigid fjord]

5800x3d would be best am4 cpu, but tbh you can do alot with a 5600x/5700x

[winter lantern]

I feel like a keyboard is mostly just cosmetic

[clear canyon]

its cheap dell/microsoft ones 😔

[queen trout]

I definitely wanna buy a new keyboard and mousepad

[steel umbra]

would you pay €5 to produce one bread or pay €5 to produce two breads

[mint umbra]

and I dont like that canada is getting closer to china

[winter lantern]

That mouse was 50$ 8 years ago thats not cheap

[mint umbra]

nice lmao

[clear canyon]

you said cheap workforce

[pure trellis]

Korea is ballistic

[jaunty apex]

Stealing again

[rigid fjord]

adrenalin** and i've used it, definitely better than nvidia in that department

[deft widget]

@slim reef ryzen 3600 asus b520 1tb ssd samsung
750W PSU rtx 5060 16 gb ddr4 case all about 700

[ebon marlin]

I have to genuinely reinstall Nvidia app after each use

[steel umbra]

omg my country is on the top for the first time

[mint umbra]

I dont think chinese evs are winter proof anyway

[steel umbra]

u angerey me very +200%

[brave brook]

your ? nah, mine

[mint umbra]

since china it doesnt get that cold

[clear canyon]

[steel umbra]

it belongs only to me i am the king of the country

i mean mine country

[mint umbra]

feel like china ev arent made for colder conditions in mind

[queen trout]

I dont need to waste my money on a mic because i have no friends

[mint umbra]

since they prob just made for warmer climates

[brave brook]

neither is Cybertruck 😄

[cosmic stratus]

That bar is down in the depths of hell btw

[clear canyon]

cybertruck is ugly, even if you like EV's, why the cybertruck

[rose stream]

I think Texas' issues are complicated, especially with their population now exploding as more people and businesses from other states are pouring in.

[rigid fjord]

not meant for towing shit either tbh

[mint umbra]

hope chinese ev fail in canada tbh

[queen trout]

Guys my internet isnt working

[frigid blade]

cybatwuk

[mint umbra]

cyber truck is buns

[brave brook]

and would be illegal even in US if they didn't cheat with classification

[cosmic stratus]

Its an aquired taste if you're in to simplicity... is what I would say if I didnt grow up after 14yrs old and say its pretty damm ugly to me now

[mint umbra]

its ugly as hell

[clear canyon]

I dont see the appeal, it cant do truck things

[pure trellis]

Lol,cybertuck

[rigid fjord]

the best looking cars are from the 60's tbh

[cosmic stratus]

That's a real aquired taste

[rigid fjord]

nope, it's a well known thing

[pure trellis]

Chat chat,is it true no one turn on day light on car in US?

[rose stream]

There's also more people pouring into my state (Florida) so things are going to get a bit more... Can't say really crowded, but I don't know if dynamic is the right word either...

[cosmic stratus]

I guess

[rigid fjord]

isn't that retirement country?

[brave brook]

and if the weather continues like it is, they will start pouring out when the ocean starts leaking in

[rose stream]

Up here in the north of the state, yeah.

[cosmic stratus]

Nope, just a fancy SUV with a small truck bed

[clear canyon]

im meaning that you gotta changes modes and shit just to get it wet and stuff like that

[swift elk]

i have a msi sword 15 a12uc gaming laptop with a 144hz screen. if i buy a external monitor with 240hz will i be able to use the entire 240hz on this laptop?

[rigid fjord]

it can barely do car things, lets be honest here

[cosmic stratus]

That's also pretty dumb and should be automatic

[rose stream]

Iiiii dunno if that'll really stop everybody from coming though.

[clear canyon]

lol

[cosmic stratus]

Sub 200 mile range with no trailer btw

[empty quartz]

Not even

[cosmic stratus]

[mint umbra]

hybrid>ev imo

[rose stream]

Well, the inside of it is.

[empty quartz]

@cosmic stratus towing can cause the aluminum frame to snap

[brave brook]

6 feet/2 meter sea level rise would flood the whole Miami area, bunch of the coastal regions...

[cosmic stratus]

Held on by glew btw

[clear canyon]

iv seen several posts where ppl did tens of thousands of dollars worth of damage due to not putting it in the mode that allows the bed to get wet, like one guy just went to the car wash and it locked up his truck

[empty quartz]

Nope

[mint umbra]

ev sucks in winter and places with poor infastructure

[swift elk]

?

[mint umbra]

like what do you do if your going on a trip and the places dont have chargers lmao

[rose stream]

I still feel like we'll lose Louisiana before we lose those parts of Florida, honestly.

[clear canyon]

ev's are only good in the citys tbh

[empty quartz]

Even then

[mint umbra]

hybrids are the way

[pure trellis]

Why it a car and on electric truck in those situations

[empty quartz]

Just get a hybrid, they’re cheaper and better

[clear canyon]

id rather just have a gas burner

[cosmic stratus]

You dont go there ig

[rigid fjord]

@cosmic stratus 1967 mustang fastback

[brave brook]

New Orleans at least have some protection, unlike Florida

[cosmic stratus]

Yea nvm

[rose stream]

My sister and brother-in-law agree with this sentiment, being ev owners themselves.

[empty quartz]

My dream car is the 1969 mustang boss 429

[mint umbra]

so im suppose to have mutiple cars for mutiple situations

[swift elk]

not even tech related

[cosmic stratus]

But anyways

[clear canyon]

I like the sound and feel of it, plus I can work on it myself and not need $10k for a single part to lock up my entire car

[rigid fjord]

1966 potiac gto

[empty quartz]

Every day damocles takes just somehow get worse

[mint umbra]

Id rather have a more versatile car

than a car that can only be used in big cities

[pure trellis]

Isn't that normal for North America?

[clear canyon]

im personally not a fan of EV's, I can see the appeal but its not for me, but E-bikes on the other hand is bad ass

[brave brook]

these are used by people who have fuel for free obviously

[mint umbra]

I cant go to towns

[rigid fjord]

1969 camaro

[mint umbra]

and charge battery

vs just go to gas station on diff car

[rigid fjord]

used by people who can pull a chick with ease and confidence

[jaunty apex]

What's wrong with hybrids anyway

[mint umbra]

big cities are fine sure

[cosmic stratus]

The battery charging thing is only an "issue" on long trips and if the infrastructure isnt there

[pure trellis]

Not manly enough

[jaunty apex]

Being a man is overrated

[cosmic stratus]

Its not tho.

[mint umbra]

I dont see issue liking hybrids more than evs

[cosmic stratus]

There isnt any

[pure trellis]

If truly speaking, hybrid is just cost too much again same petroleum car to people don't want them

[clear canyon]

I like being a man lol

[brave brook]

having said that, i find absurd we still burn up fossil reserves for transportation instead of using it for something better (like plastic) when we already have an alternative. But then switching to EVs completely would require upgrades to electricity grids, which is not something anyone wants to do

[jaunty apex]

I know a couple people here who would agree with me at least

[clear canyon]

lol yeah that too

[brave brook]

(hell, even trillionaire companies wants public to build power plants for them LOL)

[mint umbra]

my hybrid costs like a couple extra thousand vs the normal gas model

[empty quartz]

I want a hybrid because my trailblazer sucks balls in terms of fuel economy

[jaunty apex]

Batteries are expensive too.

[clear canyon]

get a bike :)

[warm anvil]

this runs so good i shouldve swapped to linux earlier icl

[empty quartz]

I have a mountain bike

[pure trellis]

Ironically, that enough for most people not to buy hybrid

[clear canyon]

no i mean a motorcycle

[jaunty apex]

Damn that was fast. Gg

[empty quartz]

I dont have a death wish

[mint umbra]

they save 10x that on fuel over the life of the car

[cosmic stratus]

A lot of ppl who "push being a man" dont even know the first thing about being a man, its usually some "alpha" bullshit

[clear canyon]

well if you dont drive stupid you should be fine XD

[winter lantern]

Manly is a gas where the fumes out of the exhaust are black

[empty quartz]

Not where i live

[pure trellis]

It doesn't matter for people that much

[plain cypress]

Nice and black
Got it all over my hand but none on the garage

[clear canyon]

yeah, using a bike you gotta be way more aware

[mint umbra]

I dont think id ever get electric car not good enough infrastructure for them

[empty quartz]

Ever heard of snow and ice?

[pure trellis]

Oil in your exhaust sells the car

[rigid fjord]

you mean anywhere that isn't american, where they class you as an organ donor than anything else if you ride a motorbike

[cosmic stratus]

100%, I travel on ebike only for now

[clear canyon]

yeah thats why you have a car to drive when you can drive a bike

[empty quartz]

There is a good enough infrastructure, just not where you live

[winter lantern]

Theres no charging stations near me so like nah

[rose stream]

Uuuhh not if you're a normal person, where you have one vehicle that needs to work for where you live.

[clear canyon]

huh?

[cosmic stratus]

When my friends drive me around I usually notic things before them lmao

[winter lantern]

This sounds like you're saying hes stupid for living where he is

[mint umbra]

not everyone lives in fking la or whatever thats needed for these cars

[rigid fjord]

never heard of motorbike owners being classed as that in america?

[brave brook]

motorbike owners are always "organ donors" everywhere in the world

[empty quartz]

Ever heard of alberta, bc, ontario, and quebec

[cosmic stratus]

So that means these cars are fine, just make sure your area has good infrastructure.

[mint umbra]

sorry im not rich and dont live in a huge city with millions of ppl

[clear canyon]

no? iv seen ppl act stupid but just like anything else, not all of us are bad lol

[mint umbra]

I live in ontario mate

[plain cypress]

Ontario, California?

[mint umbra]

no

[clear canyon]

I would never want to live in a city lol

[mint umbra]

canada

[plain cypress]

I'd never wanna live in the sticks

[brave brook]

"organ donors" because motorbike drivers are always 10 seconds from crashing

[rigid fjord]

there are car drivers out there that don't care if you're on a motorbike dude

[empty quartz]

Its damocles, he has singlehandedly lowered the average iq

[plain cypress]

Lmao

[winter lantern]

No canada is only Vancouver Toronto and Montreal

[mint umbra]

its mostly cities near the gta that have good infrastructure for evs

[cosmic stratus]

Most of them just arnt using there brain or how the situational awareness of an old person

[mint umbra]

in ontario

[plain cypress]

I've heard of a myth called "Calgary"

[clear canyon]

its peaceful and low crime, plus things are normally cheaper and you actually get privacy

[mint umbra]

which are expensive as fuck to live in

[jaunty apex]

https://chargefinder.com/us/search

[cosmic stratus]

They'll notice shit 10 seconds late and crasb

[winter lantern]

But geen name means youre very active and must be smart

[brave brook]

they are using brain - that is the part they crash into the cars with

[plain cypress]

So is my suburb

[clear canyon]

i mean yeah, there is always gonna be bad drivers

[plain cypress]

I'm not sure what you mean by privacy

Like I can't walk naked in my front yard

[obsidian sky]

Just build my new pc

[cosmic stratus]

[clear canyon]

I could if I wanted to lol

[rose stream]

I live in one in it's founding community... Which is all mostly farmland just outside of the urban areas.

[pure trellis]

Privacy in 2026,lol

[clear canyon]

im not in the middle of nowhere tho

[winter lantern]

Gpu?

[empty quartz]

@clear canyon im not getting a motorcycle because the drivers here are horrible, plus they wont work for my needs

[mint umbra]

also filling up gas is way faster that charging a car

[pure trellis]

Make it red

[clear canyon]

yeah thats fair

[cosmic stratus]

Not too funny but its natural selection I guess lmao

[obsidian sky]

rx 9070 xt

[clear canyon]

nice

[mint umbra]

like id have to wait what like 30 mins for one of those super chargers

[rose stream]

Admittedly no different from my birth home Clarksville.

[plain cypress]

Yeah I'm okay with that kind of limitation

I live in a single family home near work and amenities. I do have to drive most places but I'm okay with that trade off

[mint umbra]

to charge my car

[rigid fjord]

high enough fencing/bush, and gate, and sure you could

[jaunty apex]

Incorrect on both fronts

[clear canyon]

yeah thats fair

[plain cypress]

Damn I've been missing out

[empty quartz]

I do sports like mountain biking, and snowboarding

[rose stream]

It was a suburbs in the more country section of that city close to the only military base there.

[clear canyon]

nice, if you get intrested in riding around like sidewalks or in parks, try ebiking, its so fun

[mint umbra]

if I lived in area with more evs id have to pay way more for rent

[empty quartz]

The e-bike im wanting to buy is 10k

[jovial swan]

https://www.dustin.dk/product/5020036147/rog-flow-z13

This a good Windows tablet?

[mint umbra]

cuz living near toronto is way to expensive

[cosmic stratus]

Yea nahh. Ive seen the most oblivious ppl ever with green roles and have thought to myself how they even manage to figure out how to get the role

[empty quartz]

Dont get a windows tablet

[clear canyon]

is it a surron or something equivalent lmao

[cosmic stratus]

I usually set it to adaptive and match with what ever my refresh rate is

[mint umbra]

can you even charge none tesla on a tesla charger

[rigid fjord]

yes

[rose stream]

Still funny how there's actually a song that unintentionally made Fort Campbell seen decades ago and it was a major band too.

[clear canyon]

nice, the ebikes im refering to is like 1k and since the speed limit for sidewalk ebikes is between 20 and 28mph

[tacit star]

If I crank the fans up to 100%, will I earn some extra frames, or just make the GPU cooler?

[rigid fjord]

some require adapters

[tacit star]

I think 68C is too little for graphics cards to throttle?

[winter lantern]

I have 41c while gaming 🔥

[jovial swan]

Its IGPU is faster than RTX 4050 and 3060 TI though

[clear canyon]

68c is cool for a cpu and gpu

[tacit star]

CPU was 71C

Aye these temps are pretty cool

[clear canyon]

yeah thats good temps

[tacit star]

Do games care about the hotspot, or everything is the overall temp?

[winter lantern]

My gpu is 20c

While its off

[tacit star]

Mine is 20 in idle

[winter lantern]

It should be that while off

[tacit star]

Ok I lied, 20 is after booting. In idle is 23

[brave brook]

this GPU still looks so dumb to me

[tacit star]

Gigabyte

[winter lantern]

Looks like a shitty speaker

[cosmic stratus]

No but you wanna focus more on your hotspot temps

[tacit star]

Says everything

[winter lantern]

Gigabyte needs to stick with the sharp angular gpus

[cosmic stratus]

Your gpu will always throttle from hotspot temps and not the core temps

[brave brook]

you haven't seen the other side of it

[clear canyon]

we need triangle gpu next

[tacit star]

Imagine using Gigabyte

[winter lantern]

Boombox in the big 26

[clear canyon]

https://tenor.com/view/surprised-shocked-flushed-emoji-bulge-gif-13453265469293589998

[tacit star]

Does this mean cranking the fans at 100% won't boost performance at all?

[clear canyon]

same face

[cosmic stratus]

Damm faster than me

[tacit star]

The stereo looks like a cocroach or an ant, not sure

[clear canyon]

it might a little but you wont noitce

[tacit star]

I have between 60 and 70 FPS at max settings on 1440p

[clear canyon]

it wont help on that

[tacit star]

Is the overall temp or the hotspot more important for keeping good frames?

not really

Ion play gta

Thats what I get on aaa slop usually

[tacit star]

Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition

[winter lantern]

With fsr and fg too

[tacit star]

Metro Exodus is one of the few AAA games that is not a slop

[winter lantern]

If its a popular aaa game its slop

Doesnt matter if its good

Actually metro is pretty different

[tacit star]

It's not tbh. Its only issue is that it is buggy

Even its TAA implementation is good (I am looking at you, Red Dead)

[tacit star]

Metro is decent but there really are heaps of generic AAA games that are pure garbage

Also The Witcher is overrated

[muted spindle]

what will be the best gpu for 400$ mine cpu are 5 5600x

[jaunty apex]

Definitely a take of all time

Didn't know Metro was AAA ngl

[jaunty apex]

Probably a 9060XT

[frosty ruin]

It’s 9800X3D time

[winter lantern]

8gb ofc

[jaunty apex]

Huh

[winter lantern]

Thats the only one thats 400

[jaunty apex]

There's 16gb on newegg for that

Breaks it a little actually

[frosty ruin]

RX6950 XT better

From what I have heard

[jaunty apex]

Powercooler is $399

[hexed tapir]

Used rtx 4070

[bitter bane]

Any tips to fix the new Windows update?💀

[slim reef]

yo cooler master psu are good right?

[frosty ruin]

It’s a reputable brand so go for it

[hexed tapir]

Depends on the unit just like every brand

[frosty ruin]

Since I have no thermal paste rn lemme try this paste out

ROG everything

[jaunty apex]

Much less efficient, won't support the latest FSR

[bitter bane]

Ah I love the Asus Wärmeleitpaste

[hexed tapir]

Technically can with software trickery

[frosty ruin]

Depends on needing the newest features or not but for 400€ this GPU is pretty good when not needing the newest stuff of features

[hexed tapir]

Used 4070 > 9060xt 16gb

[tidal geyser]

yeeeaaa

and the 4070 also got fp8

[tawny lava]

Did i get a good deal for this ram

[cosmic stratus]

4070 > 3090

[cold skiff]

4090 > 4070 🤷🏼‍♂️

[tidal geyser]

das one stick but ye

[frosty ruin]

RTX Pro 6000 > 4090

[cold skiff]

5070 > 4090

[pulsar root]

Why do people get mad at YouTube ads when their whole point is to generate revenue for the free platform?

[hexed tapir]

Hell you could even nab a 4070 super for a wee over $400

[cold skiff]

Ask those that use Adblock

[frosty ruin]

I wish I could rent the RTX Pro 6000 for 1 week and just enjoy the P O W E R

[jaunty apex]

GT1030 > Radeon 9800 XT

[tidal geyser]

18+

also 2 30sec ads is uh not fun on a 8min video with plenty of midroles

[versed swan]

use ublock

[tidal geyser]

or trying to see the start of a video if you have seen it before

[cold skiff]

2? Hardware unboxed is 4 ads per 15minutes and 2-3 in video sponsors

[tidal geyser]

well yea tis why i did it

[pulsar root]

But the ads generate money for the creator; it’s like a small sacrifice to get free content and inadvertently support creators

[pulsar root]

You can just skip the sponsors

[cold skiff]

The problem isn’t the ads

The problem is there are people that take the piss using as many ads as possible

[tidal geyser]

no you cant

[cold skiff]

Like sim said you’d watch 1 advert.. say the start of an 8 min video.

[subtle oak]

Just support them on patron or floatplane if you want to support creators

[pulsar root]

That costs money

[tidal geyser]

buy their products

[pulsar root]

Watching an ad is free and only takes max a minute to do

[cold skiff]

In the uk iirc it’s illegal to do an advert more than every 15mins per hour.. you can space out to basically do 4 ads in anyway you like on tv

[tidal geyser]

ADs also RUIN the flow of a video

[subtle oak]

And it only gives 0.01 Pennie's to the creators

[cold skiff]

Why the fuck should we accept ads every 4 mins if on tv you’re not allowed for 15? So 4 an hour?

[tidal geyser]

it destroys the vision the creator had for the video

[cold skiff]

I want GN to put Adsense on for one weekly catchup and see if he has less viewers recorded

[jaunty apex]

And the platform enforcing ads at behest of the creator

[cold skiff]

It’s something he would do and as he has no Adsense for a long time. A good way to use the metric for him

[tidal geyser]

that is also a issue

[cold skiff]

The platform doesn’t enforce ads. You can turn Adsense off

[tidal geyser]

copyright and being marked yellow

[jaunty apex]

Twitch does I think

[cold skiff]

Twitch is shite now

It’s more ads than anything on free

It used to be 1 at the start. Then 1 at the start and 1 on 30mi n mark. Now it’s random, it can be dependant on creator or timed to an invisible amount by the creator

They can even just click to play a random ad. It’s so fucking bad now

[jaunty apex]

Twitch is unwatchable on free. So I just don't. Interuptions during conversations with the creator has happened so much to me I just gave up

[mint umbra]

I dont blame creators for playing ads gotta get that bag

[cold skiff]

When TikTok and kick do it better. Twitch relies on its name

Twitch has been dwindling for years to YouTube, now TikTok and kick.

[tidal geyser]

<@&750150305383186585> its happening again

[mint umbra]

how can you compare twitch to tiktik lmao

[cold skiff]

https://tenor.com/view/oh-my-god-its-happening-ok-stay-calm-the-office-gif-6091046

[jaunty apex]

Tiktok live exists

[mint umbra]

tiktok is all short form content

[tidal geyser]

anyhow the ADs youtube play is the issue

[mint umbra]

most ppl aint watching streams on tiktok

[pulsar root]

How is a 30sec clip change the vision of the video

[cold skiff]

TikTok lives for many creators get more views than their twitch. They switch people to twitch for the revenue

[mint umbra]

only time I see streams on tiktok is by accident

[tidal geyser]

2 in a row also it can happen in a tense moment and boom your out of it

[jaunty apex]

I'm glad you can speak for everyone then, I'd never have known

[tidal geyser]

or you know the same feeling you get when you super focus on anything

[cold skiff]

Twitch dropping revenue streams by 50%+ in the last year shows you that it’s too big, it is close to failing

[mint umbra]

and comparing kick to twitch sure but they dont use ads cuz the get mfs to gamble on stake to get their money

[cold skiff]

Too many people not generating revenue for it, because it’s too big

[tidal geyser]

and then its the types of ADs

[pulsar root]

Don’t the creators place the ads though

[subtle oak]

I get so pissed from ads I just clicked off the video, I aint waiting through some insufferable insurance company manifesto.

[tidal geyser]

they can but the main issue is older videos youtube decided to ad in a ton of ads

[mint umbra]

one youtube most ads are skipable after like 3 seconds

[jaunty apex]

Remember when ads were fun? Least the ones I saw as a kid had interactable parts to it.

[cold skiff]

Honestly if YouTube stream sorted its shit out. It could easily overtake twitch

[mint umbra]

ads were never fun

[tidal geyser]

no you only get this and need to be happy with it

[tidal geyser]

i dono, i liked some

[bitter bane]

<@&750150305383186585> another scam message

[pulsar root]

What is wrong with YouTube stream

[mint rock]

first thing I see when I open up this chat

[cold skiff]

YouTube streaming is hard to navigate, fiddlier than all other services to setup and maintain. It’s not easy for people to sort through to see your content like other platforms

[mint umbra]

and youtube streams are even harder to get discovered

[jaunty apex]

Some like caprisun ads or whatever, like gamified ads used to be fairly decent. Like modern day slopware you'd see on steam

[mint umbra]

they hide away the live stream on some sub menu

[cold skiff]

YouTube stream needs its own brand - its own front page. Then it can easily dominate

[mint rock]

wtf

[pulsar root]

Yup exactly; just wait 5 seconds and play the video

[mint umbra]

I dont thinkl youtube really cares much about streaming front

[tidal geyser]

do you not love seeing this

[mint umbra]

same way they dont really care much about youtube music

[cold skiff]

It doesn’t. Because streaming is largely a loss leader

[keen folio]

Scam? Yes? No? XD

[mint umbra]

its just a bonus

[mint rock]

I hate this

no more please, I need my sanity

[tidal geyser]

this is just how youtube is some days witout a ad blocker

[cold skiff]

Who wants 80% of their user base with 0-5 viewers at a time? Just hogging resources and burning money?

[subtle oak]

5 seconds turns into 30 within a month

[jaunty apex]

Piemations getting freaky

[tidal geyser]

most of mine have been 2 30sec in a row unskips

[tidal geyser]

piemations??

[cold skiff]

YouTube is smart. If you want a stream, it’s directed content from knowing that content creator based on traffic.

[tidal geyser]

its edgeworlds

[cold skiff]

So it doesn’t loss lead - it generates revenue for all

[keen folio]

I got PH ads once a few years ago. with full on NSFW in it. After that I got an adblocker lol.

[tidal geyser]

im fine with some ADs but i just want civil ones and not EVERY SINGLE TIME i press a video

[keen folio]

On YouTube btw.

[mint rock]

[cold skiff]

YouTube purposefully makes streaming fiddly. It’s a pain in the ass to go make a private stream for me to record without taking up HDD space compared to 1 click in OBS for everyone else.

I have to do that every damn session in a browser with a shite UI and minimal controls

[keen folio]

Either Adblock or YouTube premium lite for 3€ a month. I got premium lite cuz I don’t use the other stuff and use yt mainly on my TV

[final thicket]

So 13.6k stock lets see what some tuning gets us

[cold skiff]

That AI robot voice wanting you to buy crypto

[final thicket]

Of course no asus ai crap , the mobo tried auto downloading and installing cancer software

[tidal geyser]

i wonder how it is in the US

[keen folio]

Dont ask me. I was never on PH at that age. Mind you I was like 12 lol.

[tidal geyser]

here they cant advertise medicine and such

[cold skiff]

In Us you can advertise anything

[tidal geyser]

its crazy

[mint rock]

I wonder what other shit was on youtube at that time

[cold skiff]

Including your non negotiable plans to take countries

[keen folio]

In the US you can buy AR-15 at 18 but need to be 21 to drink.

[keen folio]

I’ve seen full on Cartel videos on there.

[final thicket]

The less drinking the better 🤷🏻‍♂️

[mint umbra]

I don't watch streams on any platform

[mint rock]

did curiosity get the better of you

[mint umbra]

I'll watch vods here or there

[cold skiff]

Honestly LiveLeak was probably the best video service ever

So sad that’s gone

[keen folio]

Oh and also a friend of mine found a channel that posted cp…. That’s been gone for a while now. As far as I know the guy also got arrested.

[keen folio]

Yes.

[craggy cove]

my iem filter came off while brushing earwax off it and disappeared in to the void... seemingly its a common problem?

[mint rock]

why reveal this information

[keen folio]

Cuz it shows how moderated YouTube was back then.

[subtle oak]

People replace these😭

[mint rock]

very little

[final thicket]

Chan sites ftw for that

[craggy cove]

should i just take the other one off to make it balanced ig

[keen folio]

Im glad it’s better now, but sometimes it’s too much. I’ve posted a warzone clip once. There was half a second of copyrighted music in there. It got claimed….

[cold skiff]

Honestly bud. People are talking and I don’t think anyone cares. I know I don’t.

[subtle oak]

I mean you should replace them, but my iem's have been working well for a full year without them

[craggy cove]

are you autistic

you know you can just not respond

[mint rock]

well... 🤷‍♂️

[cold skiff]

Probably. Are you dull as fuck?

[craggy cove]

why are you talking about cartel executions in tc1

[subtle oak]

Chill out gng

[keen folio]

Are we? No.

[craggy cove]

not required = i wont do it for me

[cold skiff]

I don’t think they were

[mint rock]

it was mentioned

[mint umbra]

I havent seen ads in for ever since I have premium

[keen folio]

But nothing else.

[tidal geyser]

ddr4 is the one that should be 8 feet under?

[mint rock]

yea

[keen folio]

They gonna be starting production for DDR3 Soon if this goes any further lmao

[craggy cove]

stick a finger up your ass and smell it

[cold skiff]

DDR3 is shit

[final thicket]

Still got my ddr3 5775c tuned to the max setup, incase tech apocalypse

[keen folio]

I know lol

[craggy cove]

wow no shit

[cold skiff]

That’s so weak. A bit like your mentality at being easily offended… weak af

[mint rock]

someone having a bad day?

[craggy cove]

so weak... mango tuff ☠️💀💀

[tidal geyser]

there we go

[cold skiff]

I saw someone trying to sell 12gb ddr5 for £100

[keen folio]

Although my backup server still runs on DDR3. I haven’t turned that thing on for a while.

[cold skiff]

Facebook marketplace is wild

[mint rock]

lmao

[tidal geyser]

12GB?

[cold skiff]

I meant ddr3

[keen folio]

Also got one that runs with DDR…..

[mint rock]

I go on marketplace for the funzies, see what stuff people are doin' over there..

[frosty ruin]

Abysmal dogshit

[cold skiff]

DDR3 for £100 with something like “no lowball offers I know what I go”

[craggy cove]

yeah thats a joke listing

[keen folio]

I should probably go ahead and scrap some of my old hardware. Although I think it would be good for a retro setup.

[mint rock]

LOL

[subtle oak]

I had ddr3 in 2013, it's obsolete by now

[cold skiff]

It’s not obsolete

[subtle oak]

In the consumer space, yes

For servers, no

[cold skiff]

There are people still using ddr3 when you consider how strong single core a 4790k is

[keen folio]

My first laptop had 16 gigs of DDR3. That thing is still rocking. Tho the battery has gone pillow mode by now.

[cold skiff]

But it’s not very common

[keen folio]

It runs mw2 with solid 60 fps

[subtle oak]

Fair enough, probably Chromebook's would still use ddr3

[frosty ruin]

The NVIDIA 940 MX Common Budget gpu Chip in laptops use DDR3 as memory

[keen folio]

Nah. Modern ones actually use ddr5 by now. Although they don’t frixkin need it.

[cold skiff]

Yeah end of production stuff won’t be put in new laptops

Well ceased production really

[keen folio]

Unless old stock.

[cold skiff]

Also it’s Google. There’s a circle jerk of money that’s not real traded somewhere

[craggy cove]

straight up ddr not gddr wow

[cold skiff]

“For every unit of ddr5 we will give you 1 nvme in our servers” or some shit

[frosty ruin]

This is what happens when you play at 1440p with this shit

[winter lantern]

2 fps peak

[subtle oak]

One frame per sometime

[cold skiff]

Looks like Damocles pc when he plays 4k without vcache

[mint umbra]

So how long to wait to sell ssd

[craggy cove]

is this the same mexico filter laptop or do all of your laptops have that

[winter lantern]

One second per frame

[cold skiff]

The irony is I can sell my ssd that’s shite and buy a better one and have change left over

[winter lantern]

Ts how 20fps feels

[frosty ruin]

Mexico Filter laptop has DDR3 as memory

[cold skiff]

Micron SSDs are by far the most over inflated.

[winter lantern]

Bro got permanent eye saver mode

[frosty ruin]

Only the Mexico filter laptop

[cold skiff]

And if you have a micron ssd that’s not crucial, but rebranded. Oh you’ve struck solid fucking gold in the SSD space my friend

[craggy cove]

zamn

[frosty ruin]

Frames per minute

[craggy cove]

also just saw someone bid 25€ on 4x4gb of ddr3

[final thicket]

Fk after enabling memory context restore pc locks up a bit after posting

[cold skiff]

I mean Toshiba must be making an absolute mint out of the SSD prices

[subtle oak]

Saw some on micron branded ssd's on a co-workers desk, might take some

[final thicket]

If this ram is faulty I'm gonna shove my fist up the vendors behind

[craggy cove]

bought this during the summer 😭

[cold skiff]

Good price

[craggy cove]

the 4x4gb was standard 1600mhz too

[frosty ruin]

2400Mhz

[cold skiff]

IIRC the last time I bought something Toshiba was OCZ ddr2 ram.

[craggy cove]

the shipping cost about the same

[craggy cove]

didnt know ddr3 went that high before this but wow

[final thicket]

God damn i think either expo or mcr or 1:1 ratio or a combination of 2 is causing this bsod

[cold skiff]

Yeah I only ever used 1600mts

[craggy cove]

i actually put it in another pc but i didnt even set the speeds

it might be at 1333mhz rn

[final thicket]

If i let it load windows i get a non paged file error

[craggy cove]

oops

[frosty ruin]

It auto sets at JDEC speeds

[cold skiff]

What was base DDR3, I wanna say 1066 for some reason

[final thicket]

Page fault kn nonpaged area

[craggy cove]

went to my brother who's at university so yeah

but his laptop is better so

i wanna steal that ram now

[tidal geyser]

i just replaced my laptops battery

[brave brook]

i have nothing to use my 4GB DDR3 modules for

[frosty ruin]

Wear it as bling

[cold skiff]

Did you replace it with a car battery?

[frosty ruin]

Put a rope through this hole and make a necklace

[final thicket]

I think i need to enable ram power down mode with mcr on?

[craggy cove]

deals to be had

[tidal geyser]

no thanks

[craggy cove]

a rope might be a bit much

[subtle oak]

AAA batteries

[tidal geyser]

run memtest86

[cold skiff]

I didn’t even know gskill was around in ddr3

[craggy cove]

buy an aliexpress battery that lasts exactly as long as your old one

[frosty ruin]

[tidal geyser]

lets see if its what i did

worst case i just keep the old one if i find another x1 but with pillow or no bat

[cold skiff]

Ask him if he’s autistic vreoys

[final thicket]

Will do at jdec speeds first

Seems to go away after quickly resetting bios

[jaunty apex]

Are you artitstick

[frosty ruin]

[cold skiff]

What’s wild is I never used ddr3 xmp

[plain cypress]

@clear canyon okay so ballpark it took me 2 hours start to finish on my oil change

1. I am inexperienced, the more I do it the faster I will get
2. I did break halfway and eat some quick lunch
3. manual jack sucks
4. I spent a lot of time washing my hands. Might get some nitrile gloves next time

[tidal geyser]

i should make this my new gaming setup

[cold skiff]

Yeah it’s not fun washing your hands after an oil change

[subtle oak]

Shrekpodded laptop

[cold skiff]

Fortunately for me last year I fixed an oil leak. It was drained dry. So new oil

[final thicket]

Ok it seems mcr needs power down mode to be enabled as well

[clear canyon]

heres a tip for the oil getting on your hands:

when taking off the bolt, press towards where the bolt screws into so when it comes all the way out it will still plug the hole. This will allow you to easily move the bolt quickly and reduce or completely avoid getting oil on your hand. but for the oil filter, you cant help that.

[tawny lava]

You might not be able to read

[final thicket]

Multiple folk experience this same bsod otherwise

[plain cypress]

Surely I will remember this and definitely not forget in 12 months when I change my oil again

[clear canyon]

also the longest part is just waiting for the oil the drain lol, if you get the money, grab the ramps I mentioned, they are much easier

[tidal geyser]

it is one stick for the price of two

[clear canyon]

12 months??

[cold skiff]

Honestly just wear gloves

[plain cypress]

Oh I have the money
I am just cheap

[tidal geyser]

modern ram prices make me sad

[clear canyon]

also, there is a hand cleaner you can get that will easily take off the oil

[plain cypress]

I drive like 4000 miles a year

[tidal geyser]

but also happy for my own

[craggy cove]

cd reader the size of a battery

[clear canyon]

ah, the cleaner is called "Gojo"

[cold skiff]

Oh you didn’t remember sdram prices then

[tidal geyser]

too young

[clear canyon]

@plain cypress

[cold skiff]

Like £2 per mb of sd ram

[clear canyon]

dont use break cleaner on your hands

[tidal geyser]

i got a 96GB kit for 100$

[cold skiff]

I remember upgrading from 8mb to 32mb. GAME CHANGER

[tidal geyser]

6400MT cl32 too

[plain cypress]

You can't tell me what to do 😠

[clear canyon]

gojo is very good at taking off oil and greese on your hands, its really good actually

[plain cypress]

I think I'll just keep a stack of nitrile gloves on hand next time

I don't mind scrubbing with dish soap once or twice

[clear canyon]

I would still have a bottle around, its only 10 bucks and it lasts a long time

[plain cypress]

It was annoying the 5 times I did today

[brave brook]

that is scalping even by manufacturers standards tho

[clear canyon]

dish soap wont always get it off

[plain cypress]

So I should do it 6 months huh

[tidal geyser]

charge your battery

[clear canyon]

every 5k miles

[plain cypress]

It's enough

[brave brook]

that is a price for a 64GB kit more or less, not 32GB

[plain cypress]

Oh, so 15 months

[clear canyon]

dont go by time, go by miles

[frosty ruin]

My self built 12V battery gonna last you multiple days

[plain cypress]

At my current rates it would be in about 15 months

[craggy cove]

are these 18650s?

[clear canyon]

I use my cars A destination to B destination counter to keep up with my miles

[frosty ruin]

I think 21700

Old picture

[plain cypress]

My current oil change timeline is 6k miles or 12 months, whichever comes first

[craggy cove]

damn rich

[final thicket]

This ram design is sleek af

[tidal geyser]

well you will not be seeing it

[clear canyon]

you really should do every 5k

[craggy cove]

unless u accidentally buy rgb ram

[clear canyon]

also, did you lube your gasket for the oil filter

[final thicket]

I got mh fans up top my nr200p with a white light preset

[plain cypress]

Which oil company do you own stock in

Oh you edited it

[final thicket]

Never

[plain cypress]

Yes

[clear canyon]

I meant 5k lmao

[final thicket]

My 3090 is non rgb too

[clear canyon]

nice

[brave brook]

RIP EOL case

[clear canyon]

if its the FE, it does RGB

[final thicket]

Its the v1

[final thicket]

Its a manli lol

[brave brook]

which is EOL

[craggy cove]

i just ended up with 0 rgb and kinda kept it that way until i upgraded to am5 and the cheapest ddr5 was on aliexpress with rgb

[final thicket]

Got it for 250 usd

[craggy cove]

so now it's literally the only rgb part

[plain cypress]

With my current driving, I will probably be less than 5k by next January

[final thicket]

Oh damn they stopped production completely ?

[brave brook]

way too much, NR200p was selling for 80-100 euros tops

[craggy cove]

except for my 1x rgb fan that i dont have an argb header for

[plain cypress]

I'm at 97300 rn

[final thicket]

New one is ass

[final thicket]

Im talking about my 3090

Huh

[median crater]

How do you get a stuck cr2032 battery out from a motherboard
Retention clip is extremely resistant to being pushed open and not releasing it, not enough space on the side to stick my fingernail due to tight space

[frosty ruin]

@craggy cove 21700 delivery when I was making a living off of battery building

[clear canyon]

chat updated when I went to reply

[brave brook]

yes, and NR200 v2 has only riser for GPU + AIO for CPU mode, no air cooler option

[clear canyon]

yeah, its ideal to just do it around 5k, it will ensure your engine lasts a long time. but nice

[plain cypress]

It's a Hyundai engine
it's here for a good time, not a long time

[final thicket]

Sols the 3080 for 300 to some kid, got the 3090 off some old doctor who never used it for 2 years, i opened the box seal

[final thicket]

Its a inferior version tbh, i can do both in mine

[craggy cove]

i harvested 18650s from bad cells until one went up in smoke

[clear canyon]

at least its not a Subaru lmao

[craggy cove]

now i have no use so i leave them alone

[frosty ruin]

💀

[brave brook]

yes, which is why RIP, they murdered the original NR200 for no reason

[craggy cove]

tho the same seller is still selling these... hmm

bad ebs and what not

[final thicket]

Idk who makes decisions for cm

[plain cypress]

New subbies are fine, probably

[final thicket]

I had their 750w supply that crapped out on me with intense whine and system not turning on for hours eventually

[clear canyon]

they are known for not moving enough oil

[plain cypress]

Actually some cursory research says my specific Hyundai engine is one of the least problematic of the 2010s

[final thicket]

Hyundai is awesome

[frosty ruin]

My home was literally and I’m not kidding a entire battery production and logistical hub at the same time. +10 deliveries per week

[plain cypress]

Nu 2.0 isn't known for catching on fire or burning that much oil

Dude the Kia soul subreddit is wild

Their new sonata looks a million bucks and costs a fraction of others

You know what is? The nzxt h1 im about to ship my old am4 platform in to someone

[craggy cove]

home insurance nightmare

[plain cypress]

Whatever designer(s) they hired about 5 years ago are killing it

[frosty ruin]

[final thicket]

I got a lian li sp 750 now, psu availability in the sfx space is ass in Pakistan , sfx stuff in general has limited options here

Its a decent platform

[plain cypress]

Also Hyundai are generally better equipped at the same price point as competitors

[final thicket]

But a big capacitor literally exploded 2 years in, sent the photos to lian li and also gn (never responded)

[plain cypress]

I did test drive an Elantra hybrid and a civic spot hybrid

I'd take the civic

[final thicket]

Lian li sent me a 850 as a replacement across 7k miles lmao

[plain cypress]

And tbh I'm fine with a cvt

[final thicket]

The supply saved my system though even with capacitor fluid all over which was painful to clean

[craggy cove]

thats syrup

[final thicket]

Yup

[plain cypress]

My hands smell like oil

[frosty ruin]

Price at release

[final thicket]

I imported a honds grace / city hybrid 2015 model from japan in 2017 car is honestly good looking and hondas earthdreams engines are super efficient

Even without hybrid systems at top speeds during city to city runs

[brave brook]

only PSU i ever had fail on me (which i didn't RMA due noisy fan) was Seasonic X-460FL. To be fair, that was a PSU from like 2011, which died in 2025. Can't really complain there

[final thicket]

Asus also has that phallus shaped 5090

Duno what its called , who tf approved that ugly design i dunno

why didnt we just use 5 pci e 8 pins

[frosty ruin]

It’s at MSRP

[final thicket]

Im not touching a new card until nvidia and amd add card side power management for the connector

Nvidia literally removed it from 40 series onwards

[craggy cove]

9070 xt has 3x 8 pin variants

oh like quiet bios things?

[final thicket]

I wish some vendor did a 3x 8pin 5090 or 4090

[craggy cove]

not allowed

[frosty ruin]

The BTF Connector on the ROG I heard is reliable for the power transfer so this might be a good alternative

[final thicket]

A true 8pin connection has a max capacity of 300w with appropriate rated cables

[craggy cove]

btf is so cool but so limited in choice due to obvious reasons

[final thicket]

Like corsairs

[craggy cove]

that seems a bit much

[final thicket]

Also i refuse to use asus software , gigabyte control software never gave me any issue or resource hogging on my b550i aorus pro ax

[frosty ruin]

You need to take in cable material in account too

[final thicket]

Its the rated power

[plain cypress]

Yeah the daisy chain connectors are fine
Ugly, but functional

[brave brook]

what the hell Aliexpress

[craggy cove]

do you mean the 2x 8 pin connectors?

[final thicket]

Yes , there are cables that can, corsair connectors and cables are explicitly rated for it

[final thicket]

Single 8pin pcie power connector

[craggy cove]

[final thicket]

That 100 dollar regulator someone made does it for you

Not sure who did it first

[frosty ruin]

Just scream at manufacturers to build BTF type of power connectors on mobos and GPUs

[warm anvil]

I need some help

It just isn't loading into my OS

[final thicket]

There needs to be a better solution we sff folk can't have btf

😭

[craggy cove]

a power connector with a fan is crazy

[brave brook]

or the Orochi (in comparison with the 'small' Noctua NH-P1)

[final thicket]

But really load balancing gpu side can literally solve this

[craggy cove]

help i bought this new mobo for my 816262 year old case but i cant plug the connectors in???

[frosty ruin]

But can it cool a i9 14900k running city skylines 2

[final thicket]

My new build was hanging on boot just now

[craggy cove]

my 4000d was 25€ and my 750w psu 35€ so thats pretty hard to beat

[final thicket]

Due to stupid me disabling ram power down when mcr enabled

[frosty ruin]

Go to Bios and erase all of the drives

Problem fixed

[warm anvil]

I honestly don't think I can open BIOS rn

[final thicket]

There are cheap options like lianli a4h20

You can still find classic nr200p used

[frosty ruin]

Restart the pc and spam Del or F4

[brave brook]

China boards finally strt to use all the PCIe lanes the X99 CPUs have. Still just single x16 slot and one x4 slot, but at least it is three NVMe slots on mATX board

[final thicket]

Fot psu lianli is honestly solid, its relatively cheap , wait for blackfriday you can even find a corsair sf for cheaper

So I've continued to play around with undervolting on my 9900X3D, and I've so much stress testing - even running it on hours on end. A lot of people reckoned that CO -20 or -30 stable on AM4 is difficult to achieve. But I still managed a -42

[frosty ruin]

Damn

[craggy cove]

nice god sample

[inland breach]

I wanted to find faults in my methodology - for the sake of sanity checking

[frosty ruin]

Didn’t know that

[final thicket]

I have a i7 990x with a china board still lol

[inland breach]

but it seems like when maxed out, it runs around 5.3Ghz

[final thicket]

Ah European

I got my stuff by using snipe bots on newegg usa then had a friend bring them to Pakistan

[inland breach]

still a huge boost before CO optimizing - VRChat runs at 90-120fps

and I was on for hours

[final thicket]

When he visited

[brave brook]

how about the threadripper socket

[frosty ruin]

Pretty unusual cpu selection

[inland breach]

it was the only one I could find at a reasonable price

[final thicket]

Im about to do that with my 7500f

[inland breach]

and I do productivity, so I need extra cores

[warm anvil]

Alright I got it, I could reinstall but I literally just set this up today

[inland breach]

does undervolting capability vary between motherboards?

[warm anvil]

I'll try again in the morning and see if it works if it doesn't I'll reinstall

Cause its getting late

[frosty ruin]

Alr

[final thicket]

Bios version , mobo, everything contributes something to what your final stability is

[frosty ruin]

Yes

[inland breach]

I definitely started getting CPU errors when I pushed into -46

even at -44 I didn't encounter any, but I dialed back to -42 to be safe

[final thicket]

My previous 5700x was stable with a -30 co and a manual under volt on top of it , idk why it was designated as a 5700x chip was golden

[frosty ruin]

The bent pins making me cry

[final thicket]

Scores were consistently higher than most tuned 5800x

[inland breach]

ngl, but seeing temps rise into 95 made me a bit nervous

[final thicket]

Set max to 90 or 85

[inland breach]

I set it to 90

[final thicket]

If you feel skittish

[brave brook]

it's a picture from internet, not mine 😄

[final thicket]

But in general no matter how much amd says its by design , circuitry degrades faster at higher temps and voltages

[frosty ruin]

[inland breach]

so maybe I'm guessing that I got lucky with silicon lottery? because this is the first time I tried undervolting

[final thicket]

Probably

[winter lantern]

If i got a good deal on my pc does that mean I got parts of it for free because of the value

[final thicket]

Also i didn't do a clean install

💀 Am4 to am5 wasn't troublesome after removing all drivers , chipset stuff etc etc and then deleting all previous system related stuff from device manager hidden devices etc

[brave brook]

the EPYC/Threadripper CPUs are so big tho

[brave brook]

or

[tidal geyser]

PCIe

[brave brook]

desktop CPUs are such small things

[frosty ruin]

I smell the 128 PCIE Lanes

[final thicket]

The asus Bluetooth device not recognised issue is being a pain though

[final thicket]

What she said unfortunately

[brave brook]

2950x in one of my systems has only 64 lanes

[frosty ruin]

Still 2,5x more than desktop CPU’s

100 Thunderbolt 5 Ports

[frozen relic]

I've got a 7800x3D, 5060 Ti, RX6800, and a Thermaltake Core P5. I wanna get a dual GPU setup going so I can multitask better when doing VR dev (for example, running VRChat, Substance 3D Painter, Unity, and Blender at the same time).

I'll need upgrades for my mobo and PSU. What should I get?

[cold skiff]

Uh. How much are you looking to spend

And I’m assuming you have a 16gb 5060ti

‘Cause you’re asking about using memory sensitive in Unity and Blender usage. Then asking about vram heavy in Blender rendering and substance 3d painter

You’ve got the wrong cpu for the job also so uh. Yeah you want to probably spend a lot.

[tidal geyser]

wonder if the pcie lanes can handle that

unless he gets one of em super spensive boards locked to x4 for the 2nd gpu

[brave brook]

450 euro board, but oh well. does x8/x8 https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/B850-AI-TOP

[brave brook]

or https://www.asus.com/motherboards-components/motherboards/proart/proart-b650-creator/ for 250 euros

[median crater]

Iamtrying

[cold skiff]

He would be better off just getting a used 4090 is my initial thoughts.

Or just smashing up to a 5090 with cost. But yeah, that cpu is also a little bit of a problem. Also would be if he’s only got 32gb ddr5

[tidal geyser]

5090?

seen em prices lately

[steel umbra]

wat yarr need 5090 4?

[cold skiff]

Well he’s built his rig not around the purpose he’s asked for

So it’s always gonna be pricey

[molten sleet]

How’s the xeon line holding up

[brave brook]

Intel left HEDT long time ago

[molten sleet]

Shows how much I know lol

[brave brook]

last common HEDT was Socket 2066, there was ONE LGA3647 overlockable CPU, nothing after that

[median crater]

Anyone have trouble removing the battery from new motherboard have a tip?

[limpid elk]

Just use a small flathead screwdriver.

[median crater]

It literally wont release the battery no matter what I do. I am wondering if i an doing something wrong.

[tame wadi]

I have a question I own a noctua dh15 and my gpu is very close like touching is there anything I could do to fix that. I wanted to here if anyone here had some idea for that cause I might upgrade from a 3070 to the 5000 series and I doubt that would go well

[cold skiff]

It will be fine

Don’t over think it

[viral kayak]

How big off a jump should I make going from a 1070

[brave brook]

touching what ? Backplate ? Absolutely no issue. Also some Noctua coolers have a offset thingy on the base

[cold skiff]

Gpus grow down the slots not above the slots

[limpid elk]

I have the same noctua cooler, there's like a 2-3mm gap between the cooler and GPU, it's fine

[cold skiff]

If it really worries you that much. You get an AIO I guess

[frozen relic]

however much is necessary I guess lol

[tame wadi]

I didn’t see mine having an offset so I couldn’t really mess with it also I’ll send a picture before you make fun of me for it being upside down I fixed it lol.

[frozen relic]

yeh

[brave brook]

it has a backplate. No issue there then

[tame wadi]

I wanted too but I don’t have much experience of them I’ve used air cooling for all my pcs

[cold skiff]

I figured if you’re going to pay £100+ for an air cooler then it’s an option

[viral kayak]

Holy shit what a massive cooler (please clean the dust out)

[frozen relic]

the CPU's primarily for VRChat, x3D cores do work with anything Unity related

[brave brook]

you could think about it if your GPU had exposed components at the back. But you got a backplate covering it

[tame wadi]

Yup it’s all clean now this was before I fixed the upside down issue

[tame wadi]

Ah ok also I should fix the sag right

[frozen relic]

air cooler? I've already got cooling

[viral kayak]

My case came with some kind of sag bracket I think

[molten sleet]

How do you cool the air the cools the cpu

[viral kayak]

Not using it rn tho because the 1070 isn’t that heavy

[cold skiff]

A 9950X3D would be the option I would choose for all of that

[frozen relic]

Same, but that upgrade will come later down the line

[tame wadi]

People say I can just use legos?

[craggy cove]

anything, get creative

[cold skiff]

A 9900X wouldn’t slow you down too much and would speed up everything else. That would be my compromise

[molten sleet]

As long as it holds the gpu you’re fine

[tame wadi]

My friend does this lol

[frozen relic]

..I'm not buying a CPU yet. I just need a mobo and PSU upgrade.

[molten sleet]

Is that pencil with two eraser heads

[tame wadi]

Yep

[tame wadi]

Oh you weren’t kidding in the anything part

[cold skiff]

Need to know how much you’re willing to spend….

[molten sleet]

Wonder if anyone’s used their old gpu as a gpu sag bracket

[tame wadi]

That’s crazy ima have to see what I have

[steel umbra]

legos are great as gpu support

[cold skiff]

I want

[brave brook]

some people use Lego

[frozen relic]

Like I said, however much is necessary. I'm asking primarily to figure out how much I'm gonna need to save up.

[brave brook]

or lego figurines

[limpid elk]

I just use what Asus supplied me

[steel umbra]

poor nerdy

[cold skiff]

Are you a Yankee Doodle, a Viking, a Pom or something else?

[tame wadi]

Thanks guys ima go find something that works

[frozen relic]

yankee, unfortunately

[cold skiff]

Beats being a Pom like me bro

What motherboard and psu do you have?

As you’ll probably want a proart creator and 1200/1500w

As I assume you want more than 1 nvme drive

[limpid elk]

Speaking of PSUs, my AX1200i reached it's 12th year in use now, 2 years out of warranty xD

[frozen relic]

ASRock B650 PRO RS, and ADATA XPG CORE Reactor 750W

[cosmic stratus]

Pencil

[frozen relic]

Mm, that is quite a bit. I assume cheaper options have too many drawbacks?

[cold skiff]

I’m guessing they will do as you haven’t specified too much

You have built a rig not so much for the heavy duty nature of that development

[frozen relic]

The only really important thing is having plenty of m.2 ports

at least as much as what I've currently got

[viral kayak]

Yeah you can

[cold skiff]

I got a friend who works with Unity and UE5. Built as a 7900x / 4090 / 128gb ram with a ProArt motherboard. 3x 4tb SSD. Just gives you an idea that you’re coming at an angle where you may be rebuilding a lot of your rig for your purpose

[winter lantern]

I do 🔥

[cold skiff]

Uh oh

[winter lantern]

Why u uh ohing mw

[frozen relic]

128gb, good lord lol. Makes sense, but damn

[cold skiff]

A red light normally isn’t good

Yeah. His company paid for it of course

[winter lantern]

Yeah it doesn't work

[frozen relic]

we love business expenses

[viral kayak]

Lego also adds style points to your pc

[frozen relic]

My rig will get to that point eventually, just slowly

def not upgrading everything all at once

[languid sparrow]

Anyone able to help?

[winter lantern]

Wrong image

[robust trail]

🙁 new rad is too thiccc for my rebuild. Yay for arctic slim fans!

Maybe..

[winter lantern]

Ts clash so much

[cold skiff]

Considering you have no specifications of your PC. Probably not. Be patient also.

[viral kayak]

Allergic to cable management or does the case not allow it?
