[tidal geyser]

No clue

[warm anvil]

they get drift really easily it sucks

[tidal geyser]

All I know is the 2c uses hall effect

[warm anvil]

but i use my xbox frequently so i have one sitting around most of the time

[jaunty apex]

Halls and TMR are great.

Replaced my pots on my dualsense with TMR sticks, my favorite controller to this day. Wearing out a bit though, square doesn't work sometimes and right trigger is starting to slip

[gleaming rose]

i guess the g7 pro is a bit much

how does TMR compare to hall effect

[jaunty apex]

They feel essentially the same. Just different technologies

[worn tinsel]

just ordered a 5070 to replace my 3050 8GB (not the lobotomised 3050)

[jaunty apex]

Comparing stock stick to TMR on the dualsense, it's a lot smoother. They were well lubed. Can't really attest to others, 8bitdo Xbox Pro 2 wired controller is a bit stiffer, like a traditional stick. Some controllers (and stick replacements now for that matter) have adjustable tension

[warm anvil]

i was talking to my dad and he asked what i was doing so i said i was on my laptop and he told me to "stay off the dark web"

😭

[rose stream]

Lol whut.

[jaunty apex]

He could tell you were downloading Linux isos

[warm anvil]

True

[warm anvil]

I don't even know😭

He hasnt touched a pc since mario bros released 😭

[proven ether]

hi chatters, is it worth the upgrade from a 3070 8gb to a 9070xt? i mostly play vr and higher performance games but noticing my fps and quality taking a hit because of the vram

[cosmic stratus]

Yes

[proven ether]

i've heard amd aren't great for vr titles, so was seeking a second opinion, thank you!

[tired bear]

what headset do you have

[proven ether]

quest 3

using VD

[tired bear]

def worth it

[shy arch]

Yo guys is a 2021 16" mbp 16gb/1tb m1 pro still good rn for stuff like multitasking or coding or app dev

[sinful cobalt]

yeah the M chips are hella consistent

[winter lantern]

Rate the anti sag

[bitter crater]

that gpu looks too small to need a anti sag stand

[winter lantern]

Nah it sags alot

That only applies if the gpu is a tiny mb with a tiny fan

Aka a shitty 1 slot

[bitter crater]

ok thats definetly sagging

[winter lantern]

I think the motherboard is just ass or something

[shy arch]

ngl but the cable management

[bitter crater]

hold on, your missing two screws there bud

[winter lantern]

It makes it too tight

[bitter crater]

its probably why its sagging so much tho

[winter lantern]

It doesn't change with them in

[bitter crater]

but w/e, anti sag stand does the job

[sinful cobalt]

or you dont know how to screw a GPU in properly

[winter lantern]

Its not lined up with the case if I do all 3

[sinful cobalt]

you dont need to do all 3

that thing isnt even like 1kg

[winter lantern]

Its like 2kg

[sinful cobalt]

we’re talking like triple fan 3 slot cards at 2kg

[winter lantern]

I thought 1lb was 2.2kg 🥀

Other way around

[ivory mountain]

brother screw it in

[tropic surge]

legos as anti sag is crazy

[spring latch]

i686-elf-tools

[winter lantern]

Its genuinely the most common thing

[orchid trellis]

Is there a power supply that has a bunch of 8 pin connectors with no 12 pins? Trying to cram 2 GPUs in a system. Not gaming.

[fringe prairie]

yes

[jaunty apex]

Amd is just fine for vr

[clear wave]

Playing BF6 on my Framework 13 out of boredom, upscaled 240p looking like AI generated footage lol

[jaunty apex]

I mean..

[warm anvil]

linux makes me feel like a hacker from a movie when im extracting a game 💔

[ivory mountain]

lee evrett

[warm anvil]

whawhawha

[ivory mountain]

https://tenor.com/view/lee-kenny-the-walking-dead-telltale-game-gif-7228011628473787380

[jaunty apex]

.. What are you doing? Lmao

[warm anvil]

ohh

im like halfway through the twd show rn

[ivory mountain]

piracy is no party

[warm anvil]

so i decided to very legally get the game

[jaunty apex]

Aaah.

[warm anvil]

does ubuntu have a built in antivirus of sort?

[jaunty apex]

Worth getting on GOG NGL

[warm anvil]

asking for a friend

[jaunty apex]

Most distros do not

I know of none that do

[warm anvil]

i cant find the exe file 💔

[jaunty apex]

Fedora has SELinux which is kinda like that

[warm anvil]

oh found it

[ivory mountain]

idk why people buy on gog

[warm anvil]

true'

[jaunty apex]

DRM free. You can download installer archives, you own your games.

And I think they patch older games? Not sure

[warm anvil]

im confused

[ivory mountain]

id rather just them instead of paying gog lol

[warm anvil]

it wants me to extract the exe file

even tho i alr extracted the folder

[jaunty apex]

Well.. I want their business model to continue so I'll support them. Bought a couple games there I alr had on steam

[pulsar root]

Which nvidia gpu from 30 to 50 series has the best ptp?

[warm anvil]

holy that was weird

launched the game with wine and it made my start menu freak out

[sinful cobalt]

it could literally be just 1 VERY shit core thats fucking it up

I still wouldnt expect any good bins from the lowest chip in the stack

[jaunty apex]

The RAT has embedded itself in the kernel

[sharp ivy]

oh I've had that happen

only the first launch tho

[warm anvil]

My panel dissapeared too I just restarted my laptop

Lemme try again

[sharp ivy]

you just gotta close

and then relaunch

[warm anvil]

I alt f4ed

[sharp ivy]

that works too

I think I did that

[warm anvil]

Attempt 2

[warm anvil]

Are those drone controllers

[sharp ivy]

Nah

I fly fixed wing

but yeah pretty much

[warm anvil]

Taskbar gone again bruh

[merry nest]

alacritty?

[warm anvil]

?

[merry nest]

your terminal

[warm anvil]

What about it

[merry nest]

bruh

nvm

[warm anvil]

I'm using konsole

With fish

[merry nest]

i never saw konsole look like that

i use a different terminal

[warm anvil]

You can edit it's appearance

[merry nest]

yeah i know but i find it too cumbersome.

with alacritty i can just edit the files, i hate fiddling with menus

[warm anvil]

U can get presets online

Then go from there

[warm anvil]

@sharp ivy you know how to fix this error?

[merry nest]

cute

[true drift]

i dont understand how people deal with this

i was gonna spin up a win11 vm for something and it refuses to work in so many ways

search is still loading btw, 2 minutes later

[warm anvil]

as someone who has used windows my whole life till like last week

it honestly is so slow

[true drift]

yeah

what do you use now?

[clear canyon]

what specs did you give the vm?

[clear canyon]

its ur cpu, you need more cores

what cpu are you splitting up

[true drift]

it was working fine before i updated windows

[clear canyon]

iv never had that issue

[clear canyon]

try just rebooting it

[empty quartz]

Iirc windows 11 needs a quad core

[clear canyon]

it does

[true drift]

oh search finally loaded, just took 5 minutes

[empty quartz]

Nvm

[clear canyon]

if you want a useable experience, 4 cores is where you should start

1ghz 2 core cpu sounds like ass

[true drift]

ill try 4 cores

[clear canyon]

just do 4 threads

[empty quartz]

@clear canyon i have started an extremely annoying task

[clear canyon]

what task

[true drift]

i dont really need to use windows, i just wanted to see what the latest update broke/fixed

[empty quartz]

Moving about 1.75tb of data off my raid setup

[clear canyon]

ooo, fun

[true drift]

i wish microsoft made windows 11 more stable

i dont want to hate windows

[livid perch]

gang i saw some kid talk shit on insta to people that bought laptops rather than desktops

next generation aint really bright

[warm anvil]

windows 12 wont even have a gui you will just tell the ai to do stuff

just wasted 5 minutes of my life downloading a game just to press delete instead of extract

[empty quartz]

Wdym?

Windows 11 is pretty stable

Unless you’re running old(er) hardware

[warm anvil]

I'm running an i3 with integrated graphics

[empty quartz]

I wanna get a 16c32t cpu on a dead platform

9960x

[eager bough]

Just ran some real intensive shaders on minecraft, got a hotspot of 104c... probs fine right?

[true drift]

i wouldnt call 6 year old hardware old

computers should last at least 10 years

[stiff sonnet]

yo when swapping mobos, what do i have to do after everything is plugged in

[south arrow]

Show a pic, but if all is plugged in just booting and letting it memory train

[ivory mountain]

sheesh only like 7c before shutdown, fuck

[stiff sonnet]

like software wise

im using same ssd from previous mobo

[nimble depot]

Hello

[south arrow]

Just turning off applicable startup apps in windows settings. Setting your monitors resolution and refresh rate in advanced display settings to be up to your monitors specs. Grabbing any needed drivers from the exact motherboard you have website. Signal rgb if you need a rgb app. Can also get something like crystaldiskinfo to keep an eye on your drives health. And lastly installing a proper browser of your choice

[cosmic idol]

Big thing might be wifi drivers
Sometimes wifi won’t work if you don’t have drivers installed, depends on your wifi/bt card (most are designed to work without drivers but work better with them)

[junior merlin]

Today's FB Marketplace haul was good.

[cosmic idol]

Beautiful

[nimble depot]

Why did my computer decide to green

[south arrow]

Only dooOoom

[junior merlin]

Nvidia

[grizzled frost]

GSOD

Green Screen of Despair

[nimble depot]

Radeon card

[latent gull]

Go touch green

[junior merlin]

It identifies as Nvidia now

[latent gull]

Green screen of bean

[grizzled frost]

that would be GSOB

[nimble depot]

?

???????

[ebon path]

Why of bean

[grizzled frost]

Windows when it catastrophically fails usually shows a "BSOD" or Blue Screen of Death

[latent gull]

Yeah iron, why beans?

[grizzled frost]

IDK MAN, Polar said beans!

[latent gull]

Beans makes no sense here

[grizzled frost]

POLAR ISTG

[latent gull]

I never said anything

[nimble depot]

Yes. But my windows greened

[grizzled frost]

Hence the play on words with "Green Screen of Despair"

[ebon path]

Anybody got time to go out of their way to read https://discord.com/channels/375436620578684930/1464104413412069437
? If nah thats cool someone else will prob stumble across it

[latent gull]

(Idk why both of them completely ignored my message and only questioned yours :p)

[nimble depot]

But windows doesn't have a blue screen anymore.

[south arrow]

Is it common or just happened the one time?

[grizzled frost]

it's slowly transitioning to Black Screen of Death, so still BSOD

Kudos to windows for that

[latent gull]

But why change it at all

[grizzled frost]

no idea

i'm just glad they retained the acronym

[latent gull]

It was perfect like 4 years ago and it’s only gotten worse since then

[nimble depot]

Once. Playing Forza. Hit a tree. Green. The computer stopped the computer so I restarted it and it worked again

[grizzled frost]

it started out as a joke years ago, but now it's so prevalent that even windows uses the phrase as official jargon

[latent gull]

Burgundy screen of death >

[latent gull]

When I ran into a tree all I saw was green too

[grizzled frost]

update drivers and pray it never happens again?

[nimble depot]

Win 7 is the best is to this day

[grizzled frost]

Hahahaha, no

[latent gull]

WinXP my goat

[nimble depot]

I also can't open my GPU software

[grizzled frost]

why not?

[nimble depot]

Idk. It runs and then just doesn't open

[grizzled frost]

so reinstall it from the website for your gpu

[nimble depot]

I don't like software

[grizzled frost]

then you might green screen again man, idk what to tell you

[sinful cobalt]

“I have a problem I want to fix, ima not fix it”

[grizzled frost]

you ask for advice, i give you advice, you refuse the advice, i go back to drinking my tea

[sinful cobalt]

https://tenor.com/view/penguin-yo-yoo-yooo-yoooo-gif-8368422520861613778

[nimble depot]

I have a cup of tea by my computer

[grizzled frost]

Nice, what kind?

[nimble depot]

I should prolly put it back together

[grizzled frost]

what

[nimble depot]

Green

[latent gull]

You also don’t have to use the software to install the drivers, at least not on nvidia

[grizzled frost]

nice

[latent gull]

Only thing I really like about nvidia

[grizzled frost]

i mean you do need the software, you just don't need the app

[south arrow]

Nvidias app is pretty convenient though for other settings

[grizzled frost]

bit hard to use update firmware without software

[latent gull]

Okay your technically not wrong but that’s kind of implied with the word driver

[nimble depot]

Adrenaline was convenient when it opened

[grizzled frost]

ware has to be soft before you write it to firm

so that the hard will work without green

[latent gull]

Ahh, there’s the problem, amd

[grizzled frost]

OI, AMD has been fine for years now

better than NVIDIA at some points in time

[cosmic stratus]

[latent gull]

Please, I don’t want to know about your firm

[grizzled frost]

don't make it weird

[south arrow]

[latent gull]

You typed that awful fast

[grizzled frost]

I'm talking software/firmware/hardware nothing else

[grizzled frost]

i type fast in general

[cosmic stratus]

What else could that possibly mean... what???

[nimble depot]

7

[latent gull]

A firm handshake, move along child

[grizzled frost]

Nothing. Else.

[cosmic stratus]

Fix the aspect ratio

[grizzled frost]

4:3 on a 16:9 is just cursed

[latent gull]

Either way, he said he didn’t like the software, so I said get the driver not the software, you can assume what I mean

[nimble depot]

Y'all rate the shitup

[cosmic stratus]

Square/10

[nimble depot]

Win 7 and 11. Both PCs

[grizzled frost]

i vote that "shitup" is the correct descriptor

[obtuse goblet]

wassup

[cosmic stratus]

10/10 descriptor

[grizzled frost]

there is exactly zero reasons to be running win7

[south arrow]

Xbox splintercell/10

[obtuse goblet]

rate my linux from scratch rice plz

[grizzled frost]

no

[latent gull]

Or two pcs, or 2 kb and mouse, or really anything they’re doing here

[cosmic stratus]

[south arrow]

And oblivion/morrowind was my jam

[grizzled frost]

i am in no position to complain about 2 computers

[formal sonnet]

0/10 it's not Debian. /s

[nimble depot]

It is way easier to use than 11. 11 is confusing

[grizzled frost]

0/10 it's not ubuntu* /g

[latent gull]

I wouldn’t mind playing an elder scrolls game if they’d ever stop doing the whole spider thing

[cosmic stratus]

[obtuse goblet]

lol

[cosmic stratus]

[formal sonnet]

0/10 it's not UwUbuntUwU

[cosmic stratus]

[obtuse goblet]

security issues:

[nimble depot]

Rate the speaker setup

[grizzled frost]

no tone indicator, idk how to feel

[grizzled frost]

-10/10

[obtuse goblet]

they look dusty

[latent gull]

/https

[nimble depot]

A shit ton of antivirus and security software:

[grizzled frost]

also windows 7 is a security risk

also antiviruses are barely better than just viruses

[obtuse goblet]

still cant fix it all

[nimble depot]

They shake my desk and make my ears ring

[grizzled frost]

the line is kind of blurry at times

[obtuse goblet]

😭

[latent gull]

Avg “a virus green”

[grizzled frost]

looking at you McAfee

[cosmic stratus]

No no. Best anti-virus is common sense

[south arrow]

Coughs at norton

[obtuse goblet]

true

[nimble depot]

The green was on the windows 11 one

[grizzled frost]

Anything other than windows defender is overkill or an active detriment

[latent gull]

Mcafee at least has the wild story behind its creator, the other ones are just shit

[covert peak]

what u guys think about the rx 9060XT 16gib

[grizzled frost]

better be GB and not GiB

no gibby bites allowed

[south arrow]

If it works ya know

[cosmic stratus]

Is win 7 so bad to where common sense doesnt work as a anti virus

[grizzled frost]

Yes

[covert peak]

is it good for 2k gaming

[grizzled frost]

good for 1080p, yeah

[nimble depot]

Just don't Internet? There is a reason I have two DVD drives in it

[covert peak]

no i mean 1440

[south arrow]

What titles? And cpu you got?

[nimble depot]

4:3 at 1440 is peak

[covert peak]

whole lotta cp

capcom games

[nimble depot]

Wait what

[south arrow]

Gotcha, and cpu?

[cosmic stratus]

Cyberpunk

[grizzled frost]

that would be 2.5k

[south arrow]

There's lots of benchs for cyberpunk for an estimate

[covert peak]

unreal engine games and titles like wukong and Hogwarts Legacy

[grizzled frost]

namely, cyberpunk

[nimble depot]

Oh... Ok just about shat myself for a second

[covert peak]

7600X

tho I've heard it runs hot

[nimble depot]

This a good keyboard for Forza?

[grizzled frost]

not with the plastic protector on

[nimble depot]

Latex. It's a 200 dollar keyboard. I don't want cheezit dust on it

[grizzled frost]

i think every part of that sentence caused me emotion distress

[balmy tapir]

keyboard covers are the WORST

i have to use them in the labs I work in and i hate them

[nimble depot]

I am NOT tearing my model M apart to scrape gunk out of it. The latex cover stays on

[cosmic stratus]

I can keep mine clean without a cover. Skill issue

[sinful cobalt]

I clean mine weekly and deepclean the entire thing like every 6 months

[south arrow]

Sorry baby puked up ill check it rq

https://youtu.be/ohucYtAlS_8?si=KV-fGSMym4ksCJFA

Seems solid enough myte need to drop to 1080 under certain situations

[knotty pike]

I hate samsung alot now, why is there a safety feature that won't let you charge if it thinks the port is wet or dirty? Why is this even needed? I can see it warning but why disable charging?

Port is both dry and clean and from what I found out the air humidity can trigger it which again why.

[grizzled frost]

on iphone it shoots the warning but allows you to override it

also where tf do you live where it's humid enough to trigger it

[knotty pike]

Canada

People saying winter weather can trigger it.

[thorny saddle]

wow amazing

[cosmic stratus]

If you see a 6800XT for cheaper just buy that

[south arrow]

Whatevers floats the goats

[polar steppe]

yo is a 2080 ti that needs the thermal pads and manteinance done worth it for 135 bucks?

[cold skiff]

Sure

[tawny lava]

Is this worth getting at 140

[grizzled frost]

no

[thorny saddle]

That thing is filthy

[polar steppe]

so is this worth it or nah?

[sharp cave]

prime95 ❌ minecraft ✅

[fallow yacht]

guys i need light ideas

led strip or bulb?

[thorny saddle]

ytes

[elder seal]

anyone here have a revived or otherwise modified IBM model M keyboard? been looking around but havent gotten really clear advice for modding it with USB or something similar, even PS/2 would be fine lol

also i got an unusual amount of dopamine just a minute ago using the terminal in cachyos to get my canon printer to scan a document loll

[sharp ivy]

magnesium flare

[analog widget]

should i get the nf p12 redux fan by noctua or the NF-S12B redux-700 i want quietness but not sure about how the airflow is half

[ivory mountain]

i have bulbs cuz i was too lazy to hang strips

[thick hound]

How much power should a 5700x pull in game

[cosmic stratus]

"she looked at my wrist and she looked at 100 000" 🎵

[cosmic stratus]

60-70watts pun not intended

65watt base TDP.

[sharp cave]

got a question

my CPU immediately thermal throttles at 100c when i am trying to run a heavy multithread process

what should i do to try and prevent this

i7 12700k

[south arrow]

Can disable multicore enhancement or limit its watts

Or set a lower thermal limit that itll throttle itself

[cosmic stratus]

Get a better cooler.

[sharp cave]

am running a 240mm aio

[cosmic stratus]

At how many watts?

[sharp cave]

its been fine in the past

[cosmic stratus]

If its anything above 220.. dont do that

[sharp cave]

it maxed out at 238

[cosmic stratus]

Sounds about right

[sharp cave]

yeahhhh

[cosmic stratus]

220 will probably land 89-97c

If ur using good thermal compound

[sharp cave]

for a bit of context i am pregenerating chunks for a minecraft save so it is getting hit with 100% loads for an extended period of time

[sharp cave]

iirc i am using thermalgrizzly cryonaut

[cosmic stratus]

This doesnt exactly matter much. We are more concerned about power consumption

[cosmic stratus]

How old is the application

[sharp cave]

almost exactly a year old

a little under

[cosmic stratus]

Get a new cooler.

[sharp cave]

I don't have physical access to it right now or i would repaste

[cosmic stratus]

ORR, try PTM7950

[sharp cave]

i was planning on it but they didn't have any in stock early last year

[cosmic stratus]

I guess its reasonable to assume regular paste like that would need a yearly change

Given how hot the 12700k runs

So definitely try replacing it and see what happens

[sharp cave]

so open throttlestop and set pl1 to like 210 for now?

[cosmic stratus]

You ran it at 220+ watts before?

[thorny saddle]

you do not need to repaste every year

[sharp cave]

i am sort of looking for a temporary fix to just finish generating this world

[cosmic stratus]

Hotter its ran the more you need to replace it

[sharp cave]

rarely

[cosmic stratus]

But it didnt thermal throttle

[sharp cave]

occasional turboing in games but i have never touched any overclocking for it

[sharp cave]

not that I know of

highest i have seen it was playing cyberpunk at about 85-87

[red light]

My 20GB DDR3 Ram

[cosmic stratus]

Try cpunk right now and tell me whay u see on hwinfo

[red light]

Yup 3 desktop ram is also 12gb then 3 ram laptop is also 8gb

[cosmic stratus]

Doesnt this depend on how hot its running?

[thorny saddle]

no

[analog widget]

should i get the nf p12 redux fan by noctua or the NF-S12B redux-700 i want quietness but not sure about how the airflow is half

[grizzled frost]

512gb or bust

[grizzled frost]

redux bad

get the standard noctua’s, or don’t get noctua’s at all

[sharp cave]

That was up in the hills, here is in the middle of the city driving around

[grizzled frost]

the redux is just a slightly worse in every way noctua fan to save cost

[grizzled frost]

thermal throttle, no good

i also kind of forgot just how much power intel uses, 180w is wild

my 7800x3d uses like 70w in cyberpunk

[sharp cave]

I was pushing 240 in Minecraft earlier

[grizzled frost]

wild

[analog widget]

but me havew no money and best one me found

[grizzled frost]

i forget so much about intel because they’re so unimportant nowadays

[grizzled frost]

redux is genuinely worse than just getting other fans

you can get better fans for cheaper

[analog widget]

i have not rlly found any this quite

[sharp cave]

i mean i was nailing it with a 100% cpu load for about 10 min and it was pegged at 100c the whole time

[grizzled frost]

P12 Max

[grizzled frost]

not good

what kind of cooler?

[sharp cave]

masterliquid ml240 v2

[grizzled frost]

Shouldn’t be thermal throttling on a 240mm AIO

how old’s the paste?

[sharp cave]

its in an ITX case

[sharp cave]

about a year

[grizzled frost]

what case

about time for a repaste, but honestly might not do a whole lot

[sharp cave]

the lian li one that supports an aio with all the sidepanels plus front and top panel removed

A4-H2O iirc

[analog widget]

its the same price with the p12 but like 15 db louder and i do not wnat that

[grizzled frost]

A3?

[sharp cave]

A4

holy

[grizzled frost]

damn i was close

[sharp cave]

i just found the shipping email from newegg and they were promoting 2x16 gig sticks for fifty bucks

[grizzled frost]

yeah i blame the case in that case

[sharp cave]

its now 250 for the same stick

[grizzled frost]

repaste is probably still a good idea

yearly repaste on the CPU plus a good deep clean is usually warranted

[sharp cave]

you think temporarily cranking down pl1 and pl2 could help?

[grizzled frost]

might see a bit of performance degradation, but worth a shot

do 90% of whatever the stock values are and see what happens

[thorny saddle]

what CPU we talking about

[sharp cave]

i7 12700k

[sharp cave]

stock values in throttlestop are 241 XD

[thorny saddle]

12700K mITX is going to be a bad time

[sharp cave]

will limiting the power risk a bsod or will it just tank preformance?

[thorny saddle]

it will limit performance, not bsod

[lapis talon]

all prepped for FH6 premium edition

[sharp cave]

tell me about it

[thorny saddle]

I had a 265k in Terra and yeah had to power limit to like 120w

[sharp cave]

I knocked it down to 200 watts

104c no bueno

I knocked it down again to 150 watts and it seems stable at high 70s

Might try 145

[empty quartz]

@grizzled frost i upgraded my storage situation

[random gyro]

sup

[empty quartz]

(the drives highlighted are the internal drives, the other 2 are there because im moving data from my old raid

14tb

[tidal geyser]

wait

backup raid on a striped drive

[empty quartz]

no

[tidal geyser]

this looks like a nightmare

[empty quartz]

its a 3tb drive being used as the backup for my 3tb raid

[tidal geyser]

what 3TB raid

[empty quartz]

i had a 3x1tb raid 0 setup

turns out i have to re-configure it

im just stupid, ill just do a jbod config

[ebon marlin]

That won't even be enough for standard edition

[cosmic idol]

I'm also annoyed cause I can't find the post I did about it and I want to tell my friend whats been happening

[tidal geyser]

Why do you think it's a Psu

[stray plinth]

its a pre-owned build and idk how old it is, from what I know psu's tend to die quicker than any other part, but obviously not always

[tidal geyser]

They do not

trying to buy a broken puter, asked if he could do 20$ he said 25$ i sent inn my offer then he went someone local can pick it up for 30$ i take off the bid as well ofc then he goes if you send in a bid for 30$ its yours and at that point i fully understand what is going on, and ofc he tries to get me to send a bid for 25$ again but no way.

no info on dis too, no clue if it comes with a charger if the screen is broken if the pc has all the parts and screws if its been messed with nothing at all

Possibly. i don't really know how else you'd get that much rust on it, without really noticing or trying to prevent it at least.

[tidal geyser]

prevent it how

[sharp stratus]

be cool like me.

eat the rust. it's free food.

[sharp stratus]

I wonder if the rust is from a failed water cooling attempt? i'm not all to sure to be honest.

Hi

I need a straight answer regarding a question

is 24GB in MacBook Pro M4 comparable to 32GB RAM in windows for editing 4K videos in Premiere Pro?

will it be enough?

the chip is better in that M4 compared to said PC but graphics a bit weaker

[tidal geyser]

cant compare one VERY different OS to another

[jovial swan]

@tidal geyser only drawback to the VenturePro is the fact its GPU is limited to 40-65 watts

[tidal geyser]

if you are editing go apple

[tidal geyser]

reading that right now but uh seen the pic above?

[viscid helm]

yes that's why I'm going there, currently on PC with 32GB RAM but Mac is optimized so 24GB version should do fine?

because the next one is 48GB and I'm sure I won't need that

[tidal geyser]

how much are you using right now

[viscid helm]

typically in 4K projects the whole 32GB is full and around 45GB with committed

but that's windows

mac is different for sure

[tidal geyser]

ram cant be upgraded so i would go for the 48GB one

[ionic peak]

Want a burgur?

[tidal geyser]

worst case its price right now is only going up

[ionic peak]

😭

Wasnt something with to not use ai to pop the bubbel?

[tidal geyser]

wat

[viscid helm]

it uses SSD if not enough right?

[ionic peak]

I heard that they are mad bc not many use ai for that they bought so many chips for it

[viscid helm]

the 48GB version is $800 more expensive

[tidal geyser]

So it does not crash

[jovial swan]

aight

[ionic peak]

Nearly my pc worth

[jovial swan]

[viscid helm]

that's why I'm trying to convince myself 24GB will do it

it will probably do I mean

if windows update dont work gunna just have to buy new motherboard

gpu in the way

only other alternative is like a usb wifi card

[frosty ruin]

https://tenor.com/view/angry-black-kid-mad-guy-gif-11227855

[cold skiff]

What’s your priority…

[rigid fjord]

then tbh, 5700x/5800x/5700x3d/5800x3d would be ideal, what ryzen 5 are you currently using?

[cinder rivet]

Gaming

[cinder rivet]

3600g

[cold skiff]

Then get the best x3d you can find

[rigid fjord]

3600g doesn't exist

[cold skiff]

There’s a 4600g isn’t there

[rigid fjord]

yes

but the performance of that is no better than a 2600

literally 4000 series is a step backwards when it comes to desktop am4

[cold skiff]

If there’s a g in the processor name you know it’s pure gash you shouldn’t buy

[rigid fjord]

normally, yes, but for apu builds, 5600g/5700g on am4 and 8600g/8700g on am5 are actually decent to go for

and that's an apu only build

[cold skiff]

Gash cpu for a gash build. It’s still giving me the ability to use a great word.. gash

[rigid fjord]

funny thing is, 8700g = 7840h but on desktop platform, whenre as the amd z1e = 7840u modified, 7840u = lower powered 7840h

8c 16t zen4 cpu with 780m igpu

[lavish spire]

Is those "thin" cables buyable in singles?

[rigid fjord]

the only downside is it's cache, but still decent in itself

[rigid fjord]

afaik, yeah they can be, though they're easy to damage

i'd buy either a couple bundles of the 4, or 6

[thorny saddle]

lol what

[gaunt spade]

what about r9 8945hx

[plain cypress]

7950x

[rigid fjord]

zen4 cpu 16c 32t, mobile platform only, nothing for it to compare to in that sense

[plain cypress]

Sorry, I meant TDP limited 7950x

[gaunt spade]

i found a 7950x es

[rigid fjord]

that's the 7945hx tbh

[plain cypress]

That's what it is
I just said what it is 💀

I meant the 8945hx is a tdp limited 7950x in a bga package

I just keep adding more qualifiers each time I type it

[rigid fjord]

realistically only one to bother with at that high a cpu, would be the 7945hx3d/9955hx3d

[gaunt spade]

those are atleast 1.6x the price

[thorny saddle]

I think its funny someone thought I didn't understand "I don't have rich people problems"

they're also the mobile equivalent of the desktop x3d cpu's with the same core/thread count

this literally just tells the psu to turn on the DC side of the psu to deliver power to the pc

[ocean axle]

The "turn on" wire is pulled to ground, and the PSU turns on

beat u to it

NUH UH

I have a Ryzen 7 5700x, 9060xt 16gb, MSI B550M Pro VDH Wifi, and 2666mhz 32gb ram

Is upgrading the ram worth it? To like 3600mhz cl18

[plain cypress]

Have you tried overclocking your ram

[robust trail]

My tax bill is a problem.

[regal forum]

No and I'm kinda afraid to do that lol

I bought these ram back at like 2022 for dirtcheap

[plain cypress]

@azure topaz we got one

Teach them your ways

[regal forum]

50usd for 16x2

Man that seller really f'ed me in the future, told me to get the 2666mhz since that's the one my current Ram (at that time) had, so I didn't get the 3200mhz one

[plain cypress]

Just try overclocking and see what happens

Especially if you don't mess with the voltage you'll be fine

Voltage tuning can mess something up if you enter wild values

But if you just try to change clocks, either it's stable or isn't and you just revert

[regal forum]

Teach me de way

Is this Ram legit, lol

[inner veldt]

Finally finished my build

[thorny saddle]

I ain't even scurred

[tulip sparrow]

Ok that first cooler is nuts https://youtube.com/shorts/h_GXUahX-t4

[azure topaz]

not possible to hurt anything

simply don’t play with voltages (or set them conservatively) and profit

[frosty ruin]

Pc ded, me unhappy, still need to wait 6 days

[robust trail]

I’m…. Sad that I’m coughing up almost half an M to taxes.

[rigid fjord]

7800x3d + 5070 is the best of them clearly

[robust trail]

🤮

[rigid fjord]

no, the cpu also, considering the worst one there is the 8700f

[frosty ruin]

I should consider adding 2x140mm fans under my RTX 3090. The RTX 3090 hotboxes my pc even though it gets 80 degrees max without the fans blowing air in it

[rigid fjord]

not equal dude, 8700f is shit as it's an 8700g with the igpu disabled and is the worse one out of them, and the 265f is barely better than a 7600x if memory serves me right

[regal forum]

Nah..... I'm getting the 3600mhz cl18 ram for around 50usd, I shouldn't try to tamper these and just sell them lol

[azure topaz]

you already have ram that can do those speeds

[regal forum]

If I do overclock, what's the safe overclock speed

[azure topaz]

you’re basically just buying more ram/different ram for no reason

[regal forum]

It runs at 1.2v though

[azure topaz]

depending on what’s on there, the sky is the limit

[rigid fjord]

no it could point to the cpu or ram causing the issue also if not gpu is installed on the system

[frosty ruin]

Depends on the DRAM Chiplet

[regal forum]

Idk those

[frosty ruin]

Look it up

[azure topaz]

you can set higher voltages yourself and still be safe, but also you could probably get a fine oc with 1.2v

[frosty ruin]

Micron B die can handle 5000Mhz

[azure topaz]

uh

depending on the type of micron rev.b yeah

[frosty ruin]

M16B

[azure topaz]

yes

[rigid fjord]

over 4400, eh you're looking at a rev.n instead tbh

[regal forum]

Idk what this Ram has but it was cheap as hell and bought it just from an online seller that had "good reviews", got them for 50usd for 16x2 lol

Back at 2022*

[azure topaz]

nah

[rigid fjord]

that 2666mhz ram he's using, is that just it's jedec speed or the actual ram kit's speed

[frosty ruin]

Yea but you rarely reach 5000Mhz because silicon lottery. I managed to get to 4400Mhz prob could have gotten little bit more

[azure topaz]

it’s just jedec more than likely

[regal forum]

Idk, look at this

[pulsar root]

Anyone still have intel cpus

[azure topaz]

you can do 5000 on almost any m16b or m8e just not the other way around

[frosty ruin]

Hynix rev A 16GB chiplet

I suppose

[azure topaz]

just set 18-22–22–38 1.35v 3600 and see if it turns on if you care

if not stop asking us overclocking questions if you’re not gonna do it

[frosty ruin]

I had quite a ride to stabilize 4400Mhz

[regal forum]

How'd you do that

[azure topaz]

18 tCL
22 tRCD(sometimes this is split)
22 tRP
38 tRAS
1.35V Dram voltage

[azure topaz]

find your bios’s according tweaking menu and change the dram speed to 3600 (or 3200 to be safe) then find the advanced timings menu and input the values above

then find the voltage (likely somewhere in the same tweaking menu) and change dram voltage to 1.35

[frosty ruin]

And don’t touch memory controller voltages unless necessary

[regal forum]

So what's the worst case scenario and how unlikely is it to happen

[ionic peak]

finger is ded

[azure topaz]

you have to reset the cmos (just the bios settings) and retry

aka take out a little quarter sized battery from your board and put it back in

[frosty ruin]

There’s a jumper tho

[plain cypress]

You're very unlikely to damage hardware
There is a chance you have to reset your CMOS which is a minor nuisance

[frosty ruin]

CLR RTC whatever

[azure topaz]

that works too i just take out the battery

[rigid fjord]

mhm, 5100/5200/5300 on the rev.n's and pushable to 7000 under xoc

[azure topaz]

rev.n is hardly purchasable

there’s 1 kit it’s ever been in retail

aka it’s unobtainium

[frosty ruin]

Micron Rev B still goated tho

[regal forum]

cool
