Ultimate school set up

Yes I’m in the school computer lab

Don’t ask why my laptop is so dirty

[frosty ruin]

@tired bear Star screw bits always have a star right next to the size

Samsung chooses them because they are „tamper proof“

[sharp hound]

4050 for class is a beast

[frosty ruin]

RTX A2000:

[sharp hound]

In a laptop ?

[frosty ruin]

Yes my work laptop has it and it’s a beast

[sharp hound]

How is it getting cooled

[frosty ruin]

I think by one big cooler with heatpipes

[sharp hound]

You probably that one kid who has his fans running at full blast

[frosty ruin]

Zero RPM fan

[sharp hound]

Doubt it

Those things heat up

[frosty ruin]

Oh you don’t wanna hear them at full blast

[sharp hound]

Same for my dell

Sounds like a fucking server room

[frosty ruin]

Mine sounds like a Boeing 777-300ER at takeoff settings

[sharp hound]

lol

[sharp hound]

Peak cable management

[sharp hound]

Cmon for the situation

[frosty ruin]

I literally have the same charger just with HP printed on it

[sharp hound]

lol

Probably from the same Chinese factory

[frosty ruin]

Yea

[sharp hound]

Nvm Taiwan

Mine is from longwell

I was close enough

[frosty ruin]

It has an i7 which is good but this thing power limits like it’s from the fifth circle of hell unless you plug in the charger

[sharp hound]

What gen

[frosty ruin]

Uh I think 11 or 12th gen

[sharp hound]

Mine is 13th

[sharp hound]

I got a 13700h

[frosty ruin]

Don’t remember mine tho

[frigid blade]

vPro

[sharp hound]

Cmon that pretty fast

[sharp hound]

I got vpro because my parent said it would be useful

Have no idea what it does to this date

[frosty ruin]

Business Intel Core stuff which is normal for laptops that are coming from the automobile section in my case Volkswagen

[frigid blade]

Mine is a vPro, arrives Friday

[sharp hound]

It’s like an additional fee for vpro

[sharp hound]

Xps?

[frigid blade]

No it’s a latitude

vPro just makes it simple for the admin

[sharp hound]

Xps 15 9530 is better

Get one used with a 4050

Trust me way better than any latitude

[frigid blade]

Bro you don’t even know my budget or use case

[frosty ruin]

No vPRO gives administrators some advanced privileges and better security or smh. However normal ones are a major security threat

[sharp hound]

What’s your budget

[frigid blade]

$200

[sharp hound]

Bruh brick laptop

We all start somewhere

[frigid blade]

What 😭

[sharp hound]

My first laptop was an insperion

[frigid blade]

What do I need a laptop with insane graphics for

[sharp hound]

I was in 4th grade

[frigid blade]

That’s what my desktop is for

[frosty ruin]

Blud I started off my gaming with Intel HD Graphics 620

[sharp hound]

On the go editing, gaming lightly, 4k when connected to a display

It’s a waste to get the 4k IPS panel

[frosty ruin]

Intel HD Graphics still the OG

[sharp hound]

Thanks Riley from LTT

I actually before buying saw the ltt vids on the XPS

[left dove]

eeeeee

[sharp hound]

Lmao

[frosty ruin]

Intel HD Graphics are the best start into Gaming. Change my mind

[sharp hound]

Il do you one better intel iris xe

It can support small amounts of ray tracing

[frosty ruin]

The Intel HD Graphics are so bad that you want to buy a better laptop with a better GPU that’s why

[sharp hound]

It’s not gonna run blood borne

That’s all that matters

[frosty ruin]

Can it run City Skylines 2 at 4k

Can it run GTA 6

[sharp hound]

The way I broke mine was leaving some shitty io game with 3d graphics for 3 hours when I was younger

[sharp hound]

Too high expectations

[frosty ruin]

U broke the iGPU?

[sharp hound]

Well I got display error

Somthing happened

[frosty ruin]

https://tenor.com/view/wat-what-huh-confused-kitten-gif-16578675544592554435

[sharp hound]

Might have

[frosty ruin]

That’s crazy

[sharp hound]

Don’t leave your intel hd graphics running shitty io games

Ig

[frosty ruin]

It suffered to much

[sharp hound]

Somehow even browser games can break an Igpu

[fringe prairie]

real shit

[frosty ruin]

Well I fried an Ryzen 5 3400G and the iGPU in it by raising the clock speed 50Mhz higher than stock

[fringe prairie]

i played csgo at 40fps on hd4000

[sharp hound]

At this point we should just burn all integrated gpus on this planet for consumer laptops

[frosty ruin]

Absolute performance monster

[sharp hound]

My laptop handled it at 30

[frosty ruin]

Steam deck:

[sharp hound]

Stopped playing it

Boring game

It’s at this point only for gamblers

And cs2 sucks

[frosty ruin]

Guys it’s finally time to retire the B450-F Gaming II

Why would that make anyone mad, it’s true

[tidal geyser]

as all things in life is, its more a matter of what you are doing

[sharp hound]

You are part of the 5% that support windows

[frigid blade]

For the majority of the world, windows is more convenient

[sharp hound]

Anyone who like Mac can go suck a fat one

Mac useless

[jaunty apex]

Windows updates be like "minor setback"

[sharp hound]

Hey at least it’s not MacOS

[tidal geyser]

wha

[jaunty apex]

Depends on how many times they restart when they update

[sharp hound]

Call me a Mac hater

I will always hate on Mac

[tidal geyser]

have you used one and what one?

[frosty ruin]

Why is this fuck ass button on my laptop 😭

[tidal geyser]

[frosty ruin]

To generate AI Waifu

[sharp hound]

Because

Microsoft

[lunar hearth]

[tidal geyser]

should have bought a used laptop

[lunar hearth]

I hate it

[jaunty apex]

sudo systemctl soft-reboot

[sharp hound]

The new laptops with that button actually have their memory soldered

[tidal geyser]

meh at least you got a dell xps, should last a decent while

[sharp hound]

@lunar hearth you should have gotten an older laptop

[lunar hearth]

Copilot and manufacturers apps are the first things i uninstall lol

[tidal geyser]

i prefer soldered memeory :3

[sharp hound]

Edge is good

[lunar hearth]

Mine is only 5000$ and have a 4050 and released in april its too good to miss

[tidal geyser]

Soldered ram is still upgradable its just with couple more steps

[tidal geyser]

[sharp hound]

Please do it in American

[tidal geyser]

[frosty ruin]

[sharp hound]

I can only understand American

Oops

[tidal geyser]

500 pounds is not bad

[lunar hearth]

Bruther no

[frosty ruin]

800$

[sharp hound]

Yes that cheap I paid 1400

[tidal geyser]

[odd sparrow]

I dont need anything too freaky, just that its kinda reliable. I was thinking 50€

[grizzled frost]

it has performance, i wouldn't describe it as high though

[sharp hound]

You ain’t getting good sound tho

[frigid blade]

Dang it has DX12 tho

[grizzled frost]

that trackpad QC problem I was the unlucky victime twice to it plus the replacement unit.

[tidal geyser]

i put my acer trackpad in boiling liquid

[limpid ivy]

oh yea and the lid sensor or whatever sensor that puts the laptop to sleep is not working

[sharp hound]

Always run /del system 32 after that command

It’s a useless folder anyway

[frigid blade]

vpro essentials? wut

[sharp hound]

not anymore

[tidal geyser]

do not worry about it

its the high end budget option ok

all im missing now from my acer is some screws and maybe bending some parts and trying to glue some others and its as good as new

[sharp hound]

https://tenor.com/view/89-67-grinch-gif-12404624684315724454

[frigid blade]

Gotta be rage bait

[sharp hound]

Carbon fiber is great

[tidal geyser]

you mean broken?

[sharp hound]

Anyone with carbon fiber is good

[hexed tapir]

It's spending more for a pointless thing

[frigid blade]

I don’t see a use for vPro for a person like me so it doesn’t really matter if it’s got less or not

[fickle ivy]

Yo this guy in my class is lowkey tryna steal my camera

[fringe prairie]

i had carbon fiber on my p1g6 and it felt like plastic tbh

[tidal geyser]

vpro is only for big businesses

[frigid blade]

I just wanted a cheap laptop with an ok iGPU

[tidal geyser]

well it is

its carbon fiber mixed with plastic

[sharp hound]

Is one person a big enough business

[frigid blade]

Which was the i7-1185G7 with the XE 96 EUs

$207, still proud of that purchase

sigma 32GB DDR4 too

[fringe prairie]

not a fan of that laptop tbh. kinda glad i sold it

[tidal geyser]

meh i got a oled with 12700h but no touch screen (sadly) for dat

[empty quartz]

Mrrp

:3

[tidal geyser]

i should make a new tower of the laptops i have

[frigid blade]

I was annoyed about mine being 1080p but I was so happy it’s touch

[empty quartz]

My 1165g7 is more scuffed

[hexed tapir]

Link them up to make a mini super computer

[frigid blade]

Why it’s just the i5 version no?

[tidal geyser]

btw if anyone wants to go for a 11th gen cpu any thinkpad iv now had 2 with the same issue so i would rec against em

[frigid blade]

Make them share the memory, all different generations

[empty quartz]

I have the i7 1165g7

[tidal geyser]

i got 2.8k OLED and i will never go back to lcd

[frigid blade]

Oh I thought that was just the i5

[tidal geyser]

65 is non vpro

[empty quartz]

Mine has quad channel memory

[hexed tapir]

4 core i7

[frigid blade]

Wait really? That’s wild

[tidal geyser]

hey it got 12MB smart cache

[tidal geyser]

i have a 2 core i7

[empty quartz]

When it released it had the fastest single core of all laptops

[tidal geyser]

7th gen was just 2 core for the low power parts

[frigid blade]

Same, i7-4600U

[tidal geyser]

that reminds me i need to package a t570 i sold for 200

[frigid blade]

That’s what I’m upgrading from, i7-4600U to i7-1185G7

[tidal geyser]

it was a steal as it has a 4k screen and just put in 100wh of bats

i just wanna get rid of some stuff rn

[hexed tapir]

Wait your also 4 cores for that i7

[sharp hound]

Anyone buying framework laptops

[tidal geyser]

yes

[hexed tapir]

Apple > framework

[empty quartz]

I would if i didnt have a better laptop

[sharp hound]

Linus spent a shit ton of money on framework and I haven’t seen a single one

Ever

[frigid blade]

Shmegma moment

28W tho

[tidal geyser]

well you have if you watch his videos?

swear they have showed em off a few times

[sharp hound]

I mean irl

[hexed tapir]

Up to 64gb of ram too!

[frigid blade]

The turbo is solid tho

[sharp hound]

They could show it on a video but where is the sales

[frigid blade]

4.8GHz

[tidal geyser]

i have never seen a schnecker laptop irl does not mean its not a big brand

[frigid blade]

I guess that’s why it’s so much faster

[sharp hound]

Framework is supposed to be tho

[tidal geyser]

marketing is big

a lot of people think big marketing means a lot of it gets sold

[sharp hound]

For no actual impact

[tidal geyser]

seen CES?

[frigid blade]

Wait isn’t AVX-512 not that normal to have?

[sharp hound]

Not often

[frigid blade]

Or was that a few years ago

[tidal geyser]

its only really used in server cpus

[frigid blade]

The 1185G7 got it

[tidal geyser]

this year a massive change has been repeatability

[empty quartz]

Same as the 1165g7

[tidal geyser]

11th gen got it

[sharp hound]

And their laptops are more expensive than an XPS

and their “upgrades” are hella expensive even for the interchangable ports

[tidal geyser]

early 12th gen could even use it but was fused off as it caused issues due to the e cores not having it

[frigid blade]

Total Memory Encryption, interesting

[tidal geyser]

well yea, that is the benefit when you can upgrade and or replace almost litteraly any part

[empty quartz]

@sharp hound reason a for me not planning on buying a framework

[tidal geyser]

aint it like 20$ for most of the ports?

[sharp hound]

Brand?

[sharp hound]

Expensive

[tidal geyser]

you can see it

i would not get a mac for gaming but anything else YES

[sharp hound]

I have class in 20 min

[frigid blade]

Wait that’s wild 4 cores but so much faster with 28W upper TDP, these must be pretty efficient on battery no?

[tidal geyser]

read what lenovo says on their manuals

[empty quartz]

32gb ram, and 2tb ssd too

[tidal geyser]

max memory from factory

[hexed tapir]

Max Memory Size (dependent on memory type)
64 GB - Intel page

[frigid blade]

Oh is that what it means by configuration?

[tidal geyser]

yea

[empty quartz]

My old workstation cpu was only supposed to be like 64gb

[hexed tapir]

Damn the og owner really hurt their wallet

[empty quartz]

Yup

I got mine from work for ~$1065 cad after tax

Fact: people who think apple silicon sucks dont know shit about apple silicon

[fringe prairie]

damn what a steal

@hexed tapir i do wanna buy a 2016 macbook pro 15”

Because of the trackpad

I can’t imagine spending so much on a laptop

i hate my desktop so much

it uses a lot of power and just sits there all day

https://tenor.com/view/cat-gif-27111796

[limpid ivy]

It's a drug, bright side the amount I spent on mines has paid itself off so win win plus tax write off .

[hexed tapir]

Apple silicon is so bad it lasts people the whole work day without needing to charge

[limpid ivy]

Funny enough one of the directors I worked with recently finally paid me after trying to haggle a lower price for the past 6 weeks.

[hexed tapir]

The foolish director didn't know you can't haggle with Asian people

[limpid ivy]

that is tru

[hexed tapir]

your part Asian right?

[limpid ivy]

plus I made it clear I would withold any footage the DP and I shot for them until I am paid in full.

[limpid ivy]

full asian

[hexed tapir]

O yeah he was fucked

I think it's in your DNA not to get haggled with

[limpid ivy]

1200$ for the entire 15 hour shoot day. Purely because my friends and I that were doing this volunteringly were forced to use our personal equipment plus rental gear.

[hexed tapir]

Poor panda feet after 15 hours

[limpid ivy]

But that one friend happen to run a production company along with my freelance work so they were kinda screwed in the beginning asking us to help out.

And signing the agreements without reading them

[limpid ivy]

It really had to be that way. I probably only had two short breaks on top of not having catering so byo food.

[sudden rain]

is anybody familair with this ssd?

[left dove]

it exists, yeah

[frigid blade]

What’s that in euros?

[hallow jasper]

at least its TLC

[frigid blade]

QLC better /j

[hallow jasper]

i don't ever see anyone link the TPU SSD database, its quite useful

and like that, i removed it as it might be QLC. the database doesn't have the 4TB model but the 4TB NM790 is QLC

which is pretty common with lower cost 4TB drives

not that its the end of the world, but people like to complain about it

even though your new QLC drive is still likely to have zero issues outliving its usefulness to you

[tender folio]

Is this ram good? I got it for 70 dollars

[hallow jasper]

if it works, yeah its fine

"good" as a term is usually referred to the upper echelon of a thing. that, is not that

but for an old DDR4 system that just needs RAM cheaply, its more than fine

[frigid blade]

I found 2 ProLiant DL380 Gen 9s for $300 each

They both have 4x32 128gb ddr4 ecc

He knows the ram is worth more than the whole thing

But refuses to sell it separate

I might just have to buy the entire things

[rigid fjord]

technically zen4/zen5 amd cpu's have it, but it's more of avx-256 doubled up

[rigid fjord]

this is the qlc version of the nm790 which uses tlc nand instead

[rigid fjord]

What is avx 256

[frigid blade]

That’s weird the i7-4600U has a higher bus rate than the i7-1185G7

[ebon spire]

So I have decided secondhand gaming laptop instead of steam deck for the people I was talking to yesterday, I know ill advised but I have also come to the realization I can move my 3D printer to my kitchen/living room if I go the laptop route and not have it in my office all the time

[tidal geyser]

why does the 3d printers location matter

even if you got a HELLA old printer just slap a rassbery pi next to it and call it a day

[ebon spire]

Idk how to do the raspberry pi stuff lol

[rigid fjord]

essentially it's avx 512 running at 256 bit instead of the full 512 bit

[serene python]

honestly having done hardware design thats probably a smart choice

you will need 2 AVX 256 parts alot more than you will need an AVX 512 part

its running with 512bits only when its needed

[rigid fjord]

it's a small improvement while decreasing high frequency fluctuations over just going with full avx 512

[serene python]

its not just fluctuations

you cant have the same speed with a 512 bit operation as with a 256bit operation whatever you do

its physics determined

you have to literally wait for all the bits to get processed

[frosty ruin]

Cable management reveal

[robust trail]

Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do

[frigid blade]

Not that bad

[solid quail]

I am not particularly experienced with this matter so I'm asking for some help. Are power supply extension cables generally safe?

[ionic peak]

management

[solid quail]

For a relatively low power rig (3400G + 1080)

[frigid blade]

If they’re not some cheap unknown ones should be fine

Low power is also fine

[solid quail]

Alrighty then. Was looking at the kolink ones as they don't seem to be awfully expensive and also do have good reviews.

Willing to spend a little for aesthetics as I picked up the cpu+mobo+ram combo for free

And had the gpu lying around, which I also picked up for free in august

It's been just sitting on the shelf, gathering dust

[warm anvil]

im trynna use blur my cinnamon but my taskbar is just staying black T-T

[haughty compass]

Chat 🤔

[left dove]

thats 20 years

[hexed tapir]

I thought they hid vac bans after X time

[left dove]

mans probably dead lol

[haughty compass]

It's a family friend

Asked them if they had used steam and they showed me that

[eternal cloak]

Afaik after 7 years

[hexed tapir]

I'm almost at 8 years so mine should be hidden

[eternal cloak]

I wouldn't be surprised if you can see it but others can't

[sudden rain]

Yess its euros

[hexed tapir]

Oh it is just check with incognito mode

[thin bloom]

I want to undervolt my pc's cpu but I don't know what settings to change I do know the voltage settings that I'm going to use

[frigid blade]

Well at least you can’t brick it by undervolting

[hexed tapir]

#overclocking people would know

[thin bloom]

Okay

[proud island]

https://www.digitec.ch/en/s1/product/thermalright-grand-vision-360-argb-cpu-water-coolers-54667368
should I be concerned that this product page has Theramright written on one of the pics instead of Thermalright

[frigid blade]

It looks like the picture is ai generated lol

[proud island]

Is that just Thermalright cutting costs or is it a scam?

Digitec is a very popular Swiss site

[frigid blade]

It could just be them not catching the ai yah

I’d not buy because no ratings tho

I try to find stuff with ratings

[proud island]

Well the AIO itself is good

Sellers are all verified here

[sharp hound]

Should I water cool my ti 84+ce

Second question should I bring it to class as a joke

[hexed tapir]

On the digital display?

[steel umbra]

ratings are meaningless

without a proper review

[proud island]

I think it’s legit tbh, ty tho

[sharp hound]

It would be funny to pull to physics with a water cooled ti 84

[glossy veldt]

why don't you like the transparent gaming pc case

[hexed tapir]

Could be they didn't have enough room to type it out on the customizable display

[clear canyon]

I do, but that specific one looks awful

[sharp hound]

@hexed tapir good idea?

To bring a water cooler ti 84 to class

[steel umbra]

i would try to find a review on the internet for that AIO but it should be pretty much like any other thermalright aios that use thermalright made pumps, which are as far as i know not bad

[glossy veldt]

but it looks so silly

[clear canyon]

it looks gross

[glossy veldt]

i'd put a 5090 in that case

[thin bloom]

I wonder how cool the cpu be at idle. Since it idles around 30 to 40 °C at idle with case fans off. Now I think if it I might have to change the case fan curves?

[frosty ruin]

@tidal geyser we got life signs

[fickle valley]

i have a question

is there a way to enforce the static pl1 limit over the dynamic one

[proud island]

According to toms hardware it’s the best

[fickle valley]

xtu overrides it

but can it be done permanently

[tidal geyser]

Yea flash your own bios

[steel umbra]

my only concern about their aios is longevity, but so far so good, not many complaints

[fickle valley]

not possible

[tidal geyser]

Then it's not

[grand granite]

FydeOS actually made my Surface faster.

[wheat torrent]

fye

[hallow jasper]

If you say so. Listed as TLC for 1TB and 2TB in TPUs database. It wouldn’t matter to me either way.

[grand granite]

Then again, Windows sucks on laptops.

[hexed tapir]

And desktop

[hallow jasper]

It’s a factor that uber enthusiasts have inflated as mattering but it really doesn’t to 99% of people.

[grand granite]

Desktops, I'd say it's BEARABLE. Like it runs all my games (I've got a damn clean install on my PC), and doesn't get in the way

[sudden rain]

yeah i mean i use hdds rn and those suckk

[grand granite]

My laptop's CPU was hitting 90% at IDLE. RAM sitting at 75-85% at IDLE.

I had NOTHING on this Surface

[hexed tapir]

Just buy more ram it's super cheap

[hallow jasper]

Experience tells me most people don’t know what idle means.

[grand granite]

Can't upgrade the RAM on a Surface.

[sudden rain]

i have some ddr4 kits for cheap

[hallow jasper]

CPU at 90% is the definition of not idle.

[grand granite]

It is literally just sitting on the desktop at 90% utilization.

[hallow jasper]

That’s not how you define idle.

[grand granite]

No viruses, I've checked. No extraneous programs.

Just. Windows.

[steel umbra]

old processor?

[hallow jasper]

If true, and I don’t believe it, then the hardware was just really old and slow.

[frozen hinge]

Very thanks to the ltt team for this

[hallow jasper]

The user should be able to identify what’s going on.

“Just windows” is only relevant if using really old or low end hardware on a modern OS.

Maybe YOU had a bad experience but that’s not something to make generalizing judgements on.

[grand granite]

1115G4. I know it's not a fast chip at all. But in only 3 years since I got this machine, Windows should not be crawling like it was.

[hallow jasper]

That’s a dual core. Nuff said.

Dreadful when new.

[frigid blade]

That’s mobile right?

[grand granite]

It was fine when I got it new...

[final thicket]

Ye my 7500f is a dud compared to most

It'll get unstable trying to boost beyond 5ghz

[frigid blade]

Dual core, sheesh

[grand granite]

FydeOS, meanwhile, just sitting on the desktop? 6% CPU utilization. Nothing else running. RAM usage is around the same, but it doesn't feel nearly as slow

[final thicket]

Odd, i got a Pentium G from that era that runs my dads PC just fine

[frigid blade]

What frequency is it running at?

My gfs laptop likes to throttle for no reason sometimes

800MHz

[grand granite]

For a Surface Pro 7+, this thing feels quick again. Just like it did when I bought it new at Best Buy back in 2022.

[hexed tapir]

If you can solder you can

[empty quartz]

I need to buy more storage

[grand granite]

Yeah I don't know how. And frankly, it's not worth it for this one.

[empty quartz]

Hot air station*

[grand granite]

It doesn't do much other than playing videos, music, or writing up documents in Google Docs.

[tidal geyser]

Also need a stencil and solder balls for the ram you got

[lean flame]

can i emulate PS3 games with a ryzen 9600x? asking for my brother.

[grand granite]

You should be able to, it's rated A on RPCS3's tier list for CPUs

[tidal geyser]

Avx512

[rigid fjord]

on another list all the nq ones as well as the eq models use qlc nand from lexar

[mint umbra]

with byd coming to maket in north america wonder if that will cause teslas to be cheaper for more compeitive pricing

[mental ruin]

before i ask my question is this chat hardware chat only or can i ask about anything

[rigid fjord]

essentially all but tech support is what tech chat is supposed to be for

[mental ruin]

i just wanted to ask how do i download large games like marvel rivals on data limited internet without having to download it over multiple months

[grizzled frost]

mcdonalds wifi

that sounds like i'm memeing, but genuinely public wifi might be your best bet

[hexed tapir]

Or library

[grizzled frost]

that counts as public wifi

[hexed tapir]

McDonald's is more private you gotta pay for a whole $1 soda to not trespass and steal wifi

[mental ruin]

any other options? cuz its super slow and i am not sitting in a mcdonalds for like 6 hours

[hexed tapir]

Libraries have comfy seats

[mental ruin]

true

[grizzled frost]

someone tell cdproject red that this doesn't look like low-gore blood

[hexed tapir]

And books to read as you throttle their Internet speeds downloading shit

[mental ruin]

someone has told me to just go to an internet cafe and bring a big enough drive and just copy the game from the pc

[hexed tapir]

I forgot what anime or comic it was but they used white as blood...

[fickle ivy]

Anyone know if those lenses meant to imitate disposable cameras are any good?

Oh my god...

I just saw an ad for a 512gb SD card and decided to check it out because mine is 256gb. $1,150

What are we doing?????

Who in their right mind is spending over $1000 on an SD card

[tulip sparrow]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6UBBNanVUA

[agile fulcrum]

Why do my farts smell really bad

[sinful cobalt]

totally related to tech

[gray sierra]

Guys

which cpu would you get for multitasking 9950x or 9950x3D

[hexed tapir]

Neither

9800x3d

[tidal geyser]

9995wx

[rose stream]

9900x

[tidal geyser]

worst of both worlds

[agile fulcrum]

@hexed tapir is it true you have 75 penguins in your basement and climate control

[hexed tapir]

Sadly no

[agile fulcrum]

Depends on the task and overall computer budget

[agile fulcrum]

How many penguins are in your basement

[rose stream]

It's good enough to make those better worlds look like a pointless investment, given it's literally double the cores of what I have and is a massive generational uplift to what I have to boot, without paying stupid amounts for more than I can both afford, let alone require.

[sinful cobalt]

285k

[hexed tapir]

0 it's very disappointing

[agile fulcrum]

Sybau intelicuck

any form of Intel shilling will not be permitted here

[sinful cobalt]

ah yes call out the guy who doesnt have an intel system at all as a intel shill

[agile fulcrum]

I have an Intel system myself

[tidal geyser]

intels pretty fine even if it aint the fastest its good nuf

[warm anvil]

what one looks better

[rose stream]

I agree, though I also still would prefer if they had a p-core only choice that was based on the latest arch to use instead.

[agile fulcrum]

Had a 12100f currently have a 1260p rtx 3060 6gb laptop

[sinful cobalt]

i said 285k and bro just straight up asked me to sybau and a “intelicuck” whatever shit meaning thats supposed to be

Good to know you have absolute dogsh*t

[agile fulcrum]

I just hate Intel man

[tidal geyser]

the most modern games are able to use e cores in some way or another

[agile fulcrum]

Trading it with a friend for a 8840hs 780m 32gb ddr5 laptop pretty shit trade ( for him)

[rose stream]

I like their engineers and the stuff they can do when not held back.

[sinful cobalt]

ok nice that doesnt justify you from offending me directly and calling me false names

im immediately judging you from the get-go

[rose stream]

Sure, but then there's the rest of us (like myself) who play modern games that don't even bother with that many cores, mostly because they don't need that many anyway.

[tidal geyser]

if they do not need as many why have more p cores

[sinful cobalt]

novalake 52 core beast lets go

[rose stream]

I mean more like having either/or, not really both. Even all e-cores I'd be fine with.

[tidal geyser]

now with intels own X3D maybe

[rose stream]

I dunno. The more I look at the X3D stuff, the more I wonder if it's really even required for what I want to do and if I'd justify that over just enough cores to keep any stuff I do perfectly sated in CPU resources.

[tidal geyser]

i dono get a i3 12100f and live peacefully forever

eh or 12400f, no e core nonsense

[alpine blaze]

Slow

[sinful cobalt]

?

[rose stream]

I have 6 Zen 2 cores I'd like to upgrade from thanks...

[hexed tapir]

Are you still on your slow old thredripper?

[tidal geyser]

1900x

[alpine blaze]

9970x

[tidal geyser]

rip ccx

[alpine blaze]

Had a 3960x previously

[fringe prairie]

i mean this doesn’t mean much?

[tidal geyser]

keep in mind your motherboard alone might cost as much as that 52 core

[hexed tapir]

How much was the ram xD

[fringe prairie]

could be some garbage slop

[tidal geyser]

the old laptop is better

[alpine blaze]

Got it like 5 months ago. But like 1200. Rdimm has been expensive

[tidal geyser]

even if its 12th gen intel for cpu vs zen 4 and then the 780m is not close to a 3060m

[hexed tapir]

Now is the time to flip the ram

[alpine blaze]

But I need it lol

[tidal geyser]

nah

money is better'

[hexed tapir]

You only need 16gb trust

[tidal geyser]

even tho you probs make money from the puter

[alpine blaze]

Single channel?

[hexed tapir]

Adobe is very optimized

[alpine blaze]

lol

[hexed tapir]

Ofc

[alpine blaze]

But I’d have to buy a 16 gig stick

[hexed tapir]

You got 24gb sticks?

[tidal geyser]

32 or 64

[alpine blaze]

64

[rose stream]

And strangely enough can now work on Linux and I do mean CC.

[hexed tapir]

Oh Mr fancy pants

[tidal geyser]

what are you even doing

[alpine blaze]

Raw editing

[rose stream]

4k or 8k?

[tidal geyser]

not rendering?

[alpine blaze]

12k braw

[tidal geyser]

cant macs or even intels latest chips do that?

[rose stream]

My Lord, that's huge.

[alpine blaze]

They can. Just slowly

[tidal geyser]

i know nothing about dis

[rigid fjord]

it better be made out of gold for this price tbh

[fickle ivy]

It could be and would still be cheaper

[rigid fjord]

and it's always morally correct to pirate adobe software

[rose stream]

Naww, naww, multiple metal elements in layers like that one necklace seen years ago with many elements layered into a cube.

[steel umbra]

til you’re da ceo of adobe

[rigid fjord]

tbf, an ounce of paladium is worth more than an ounce of gold

it's also rarer than gold

[alpine blaze]

My sd card was like 120 for a 128gb

[rose stream]

And synthesized metals made via large particle accelerators too, right? Or has that changed nowadays?

[rigid fjord]

i forgot what memory card type my camera uses, will be embarrassing if it's a compact flash card

[gray sierra]

Stop suggesting me threarippers

[alpine blaze]

Need 9960x

[gray sierra]

300-400

[rose stream]

Okay, then we'll just give you Core Ultras and/or Amperes.

[agile fulcrum]

Funfact 0.3% of all suzans are men

[rigid fjord]

could suggest a brain for jorj, but it'll end up competing for last place still

[agile fulcrum]

There are men named suzan

[rigid fjord]

there are also men named sasha

[tidal geyser]

also a gun

[agile fulcrum]

the Italian motorcycle company benneli makes guns

[rose stream]

How are you last though?
It ain't always first come, first to win. Lol.

[rose stream]

There's also men named Shirley.

[wheat torrent]

I had a friend with that name

[agile fulcrum]

I've met a man named shirley

[rigid fjord]

are they russian?

[wheat torrent]

no

but they moved to Russia

[gloomy sleet]

isn’t that pre dominantly a male name? i’ve never met a sasha that isn’t a man

[gray sierra]

I don’t want intel

Next up is Qualcomm and eventually there will be Nvidia too. Lmao.

Not in a western context

[gray sierra]

When’s the next batch of new cpus out

[rigid fjord]

if you go to a slavic country, yes, but anywhere else no, and i've met a few girls called sasha

[gloomy sleet]

weird

[frigid blade]

Yah only Slavic name I’ve heard of Sasha or something similar for a guy

Sashka

[rose stream]

I... Forgot the date they mentioned.

[frigid blade]

Sashka is like Alexander

[gray sierra]

Would you suggest a 9950x for me then

[rose stream]

Probably Q2 this year or something.

[frigid blade]

Oh I guess Sasha and Sashka are the same then

[gloomy sleet]

most sasha’s i’ve met were in england or germany despite visiting many slavic countries

[rose stream]

For what explicit purpose that doesn't involve implicits of dating it?

[frigid blade]

Well I wouldn’t be surprised if there was someone with Slavic descent in east Germany

[gloomy sleet]

they’re pronounced (and spelt in cyrillic(саша/саща)) differently

[gray sierra]

Editing multitasking rendering

[gloomy sleet]

that’s fair

[rose stream]

Which apps, what detail in projects, what resolution targets, etc?

[rigid fjord]

tbf, in germany it's spelt sascha

though the german version has it's own meaning and isn't a nickname

Anyone know how to fix this on the Wii ? Already tried cleaning some of the sensors

[ivory mountain]

is that a wii

sounds just like the wii disc tray

it is a wii yeah

its something with the feeding i think but i dont have much knowledge about wiis or fixes tbh

[ivory mountain]

holy shit im smart sometimes man

sadly i cant help idk anything about it either sorry boss

[mint timber]

Hello. I am testing old parts in a new case. When I go turn it on it boots up the a second later boots off and then back on. I have taken the gpu out and test, same issue. Tested ram. Same issue. I think it’s the psu but am unsure. The pay fan does sound crackly. Any help

I’ve reset cmos and it booted 1st time. Unsure if the power button is sticking

[unique olive]

🤞 hope my new drone doesn’t come broken it’s open box

I can return it I just won’t be able to get a mini 5 pro anywhere near that price

[mint timber]

It’s just bipolar. One time it would boot after turning off then another time would boot first try

I do not have any ssd in it atm

[ivory mountain]

new browser now my taskbar is prettier

[modest flame]

I've been trying to configure all my RGB for over an hour and I'm hopelessly lost

I've tried both Signal and Open but the only device any software can detect is my AIO pump for some godforsaken reason

my RAM and case fans i have no idea how to configure

[thin bloom]

Well at least I know how old my pc ram is and manufacturer since the ram has no sticker on them

[ivory mountain]

for openrgb i had to run it as administrator

[rigid fjord]

inb4 the argb/rgb is on a hub controlled by a switch instead from the case

[modest flame]

it is on a hub yes

what does that mean for me

[rigid fjord]

note, some cases comes with a hub that don't interact with the mobo

[rigid fjord]

depending on the case, you may need to swap out the hub

[ivory mountain]

true, i was moreso talking about the ram

my lancool 3 fans are both ARGB and case controlled, which caused some conflicts such as random ass flickers

i switched to arctic fans tho

[modest flame]

it also keeps asking me to size the RGB zones and asks for the individual number of LED lights. which i have no idea how to get an answer for that

[rigid fjord]

what case?

[modest flame]

NZXT H9 Flow

[ivory mountain]

i dont assume we're meant to be able to talk in here

[rigid fjord]

hub swap for the argb

[modest flame]

ok ill be honest

i literally have no idea what that means

[grizzled nova]

that’s a lot of servers

[tepid kelp]

Anyone got a guide for removing borked windows updates

[modest flame]

like... im not sure what i do here

[rigid fjord]

the hub that comes with the case

[grizzled nova]

doesnt windows have a thing for that in settings

[tepid kelp]

Shrug

[grizzled nova]

maybe spend some effort?

[tepid kelp]

Iv heard it doesn't work well

[rigid fjord]

built into windows,. otherwise there's always revo uninstaller

[empty quartz]

I was planning on buying an ssd today

[grizzled nova]

i love revo

one of the best apps ever

[modest flame]

How would I figure out the size of each zone

[tepid kelp]

I'm having trouble finding a written guide that's not ai

[rigid fjord]

amount of leds per fan X amount of fans

[ivory mountain]

Oops

Most fans have like 12-16 led’s iirc

[modest flame]

So I assume the three zones would likely be my front fans, bottom fans, and top fans?

[empty quartz]

Until the ssd i was going to buy (2tb pcie gen 5) was sold out, and the next option was either 550 cad for a 4tb pcie gen 4 or 360 for a 2tb pcie gen 4

The gen 5 drive was cheaper than the gen 4

[rigid fjord]

essentially yes

[modest flame]

alright bet

[gray sierra]

Is it June yet ?

[modest flame]

the top three fans are some generic ones by Bitfenix taken from my old case, the front and bottom are the NZXT 420mm frames

8 leds per fan, then?

[rigid fjord]

for the nzxt fans it looks like, though personally i'd swap out both the fans and the hub

[sinful cobalt]

let me guess, out of stock and crazy prices

[modest flame]

i like these fans a lot I'd rather not get rid of them

[ivory mountain]

why pay a premium for the gen 5?

[modest flame]

...okay so the fan lights are not responding to changes

applying changes literally does nothing

literally only my AIO pump and GPU RGB are being affected

[molten sleet]

g502 and kitty headphones is so tuff

[rigid fjord]

like i said, issue with the hub

[modest flame]

i think its some sort of asus aura hub

switch to using the case hub, then?

[rigid fjord]

there's no such thing ans an asus aura hub

[molten sleet]

ik this is basic but have you closed any other processes that would control the rgb like armory crate

[modest flame]

armory crate is completely uninstalled

[molten sleet]

logitec g hub and razer synapse?

[modest flame]

neither are installed

[molten sleet]

are the case fans the only one's not being affected? and lastly i'd diable asus' control center too

this aint 2020 anymore

[gilded harness]

its ok i only have little budget to go rn

or i just live with my phone for a while

[sullen dune]

What sort of artifacts

[gilded harness]

Smth like this

Vrams are killing themselves rn

[sullen dune]

What gpu you got?

[gilded harness]

Vega 56 lol

Almost a decade old

God time flies

[clear canyon]

Undervolt it for now

[sullen dune]

Its possible that its just the solder joints starting to crack from what ive heard and seen.

[gilded harness]

I might try it

[stray plinth]

[cold skiff]

At this point I think the upgrade is probably needed

[sullen dune]

Shhh 🤫

Nice kb very silent

[stray plinth]

thanks twin, and ik it's quiet

[gilded harness]

The upgrade isnt really needed but it is annoying yeah

If UV doesnt work then I might have to spend money

ah okay, if I didn't get the switches I got I was gonna get the Milky yellows but I preferred the fog green

[sullen dune]

Im Thinking about switching to black shine-through keycaps though since the backlight rgb doesnt pop as much with my current ones

[sullen dune]

The fog greens are amazing

[gray sierra]

how do you know i do

[gilded harness]

just in case

[sullen dune]

Manually Adjusted the rgb to a cooler white tone later on so that the color tone of the backlight matches the white tone of the rest of my setup since as you can see it has a slight yellow tint

[gray sierra]

and im not poor shaming i was laughing at thr artifiacts

[gilded harness]

ive been here since forever!!!

[sinful cobalt]

used to be top of the line
now it fell to slightly below top of the line

[gilded harness]

I just dont really talk anymore lol

[gilded harness]

yeah 4090 and something x3d iirc

7800?

[sinful cobalt]

9800 iirc

[gilded harness]

Ahh

[sinful cobalt]

jorj said he had like the same cpu as me

well not anymore

[gilded harness]

[stray plinth]

ikr! they were so worth the money

[sullen dune]

Surely no one has that much money right

Or am i just broke

[gilded harness]

nah no doubting here he really got that top of the line pc 1-2 year ago

[sullen dune]

Im still running an i7-9700K, 32Gb DDR4 and an RTX2080 Super

[sinful cobalt]

ur view of money is way down there

[gilded harness]

tech chat 2 is full of monopoly people

[sullen dune]

Im just kidding im happy with my pc, im happy for you

[gray sierra]

yeah

how do you know that

[gilded harness]

Good that you are happy with your pc

[gray sierra]

i need to finish kingdom come deliverance

[gilded harness]

i used to be active a big while ago lol

[gray sierra]

yeah so which gpu you wanna get

[sinful cobalt]

7/9800x3d and 4090 no

[gray sierra]

you can buy it too just save money, you dont need a 4090 just get something similar to its performance

[sinful cobalt]

just get a 5070ti if possible and not too late

else the 9070xt or settle for 5070

[gilded harness]

me?

im getting 3070 to save some money rn

should be fine for 1080p/1440p ish

[junior merlin]

I have found the best looking SATA SSD

[gilded harness]

Best looking? 😭😭😭

[ivory mountain]

goated collection

[sullen dune]

Beautiful

[gilded harness]

They told me the xc3 is out and they are going to send me ftw3 instead

Nice rgb upgrade i guess lol

[gray sierra]

[sullen dune]

I just translated it damn
You reply 10 min later and its "shop closed i will reply tomorrow when we open again"

[junior merlin]

Fixed it for you

[junior merlin]

That card will last you an eternity.

It will be obsolete before it dies if you take care of it.

[ivory mountain]

Whats wrong with part 2

[sullen dune]

You guys got recommendations for the room design i went with? Left wall behind my desk will be painted black.
I was thinking wall panels with small wall shelves for decor but have no ideas for what i could decorate with.
Would gladly appreciate decor recommendations i am very into cars, combat vehicles and general tech

[junior merlin]

A LOT

[sullen dune]

Plan from a different planning software

[junior merlin]

That is a VERY dangerous location for the PC if you don't live alone.

[sullen dune]

I dont really do to much things others shouldn't see on it anyways

Only if im home alone

My current setup is opposite of a mirror thats perfectly positioned for people entering to see everything instantly anyways so my reflexes are fast anyways

[empty quartz]

Gen 5 was 300 cad

[empty quartz]

No, the gen 5 was the cheapest of the 3 options i had in mind

[ivory mountain]

havent played it yet

[cold skiff]

The bed and the PC need swapped. The option of throwing a movie or something on the PC and laying in bed to watch is paramount

[sullen dune]

No space for a tv 😭 thats a wardrobe on the right

[gilded harness]

yeah LOL

its funny

[cold skiff]

You use your pc monitor not a tv…

[sullen dune]

Ohhhhhh

[gilded harness]

I wish cuz i rep EVGA a lot

[sullen dune]

I get it i think

[junior merlin]

Well, you're getting it, right?

[cold skiff]

When I was living at home I had a similar layout to what I just suggested. Always fell asleep watching Netflix tbfh

[sullen dune]

Like pan spin my monitor towards my bed so i can watch while laying in bed?

[gilded harness]

Yeah it is coming

[sullen dune]

Since i do have a gas arm for it

[cold skiff]

[gilded harness]

retiring little guy now

i love you so much vega

[junior merlin]

The EVGA 30 series cards are so good

[sullen dune]

Same thing with my gtx1050 before i retired it

[junior merlin]

You're gonna love it more than Vega

[ivory mountain]

🫡

[cold skiff]

I recently cable tidied up all my cables. Never thought about doing my PCIe inside the case tbh

Then again it won’t make much of a difference

[sullen dune]

@cold skiff dont mean to push just wanted to ask if thats what you meant

[cold skiff]

No because you’d be angling ya head. As in bed is where the desk is facing towards door - because apparently only serial killers don’t look towards the door when sleeping. Then desk is at the foot of the bed facing towards window

Probably a bit tighter than you’d like but it’s just an option for in bed entertainment

[junior merlin]

I sleep on my side

[sullen dune]

Thx for the recommendation ill def. Think about that

[sullen dune]

Same

Or on my stomach with my head on the side

Never had any discomfort

[junior merlin]

Honestly, you should maybe have the PC on the same wall as the window.

Because glare

[sullen dune]

True but from what i seen the sun doesn't really hit the side walls much only the wall opposite of the window

[junior merlin]

Or I guess curtains

Honestly, curtains and swapping the placement of the setup and the bed I think is what I would do.

[sullen dune]

Yep, i also heard monitor light bars kinda help reduce glare but not sure

[silver estuary]

I'm getting a new build, and my previous pc has 24gb ddr4 (i believe corsair 3200Mhz or smth); is it worth upgrading to ddr5 on the new one? i'm thinking of running 9800x3d & rx 9070 xt

[sullen dune]

I kinda went against a window setup since i wanna decorate the back wall of my setup and also reaching the window to open is gonna be more difficult too

And i aimed for big enough area in the center of the room for vr space

[sullen dune]

Not at the moment ddr5 is way to expensive

Though based on the cpu and gpu your aiming for im assuming price is not that big a deal for ya

Honestly just look for a good deal and grab whatever is priced as fair as possible in this current economy

[latent pasture]

whats the specs of ur previous pc
maybe u can just get 9070xt and keep the rest

[sullen dune]

Yeah also possible

[silver estuary]

not really possible

its like 7-8 years old at this point lmao

haven't felt the need until now, running a 1060 and i5 7600 rn so this is a big upgrade

Just really wondering if I'm gonna be bottlenecked by ddr4 or if im not gonna be sacrificing performance to wait (although i dont expect ram to be going down anytime soon.....)

[silver estuary]

I'm trying to be conservative and reasonable when i can but definetly trying to get a great rig for 1440p ultrawide gameplay on high settings

[golden sage]

O_O

literally in mid December i paid $169 for the 1TB and $260 for the 2TB one, crazy ahh prices

[cosmic idol]

Everything can be an investment if the market becomes crazy enough

[sullen dune]

Yeah id say just wait till the ai bubble pops(if it ever will) and then upgrade if your current pc is good enough
