People just don’t understand that thunderbolt is a Intel thing cuz AMD needs to get the protocol from Intel and this shit costs royalties

[frosty ruin]

[tidal geyser]

fun fact early am5 boards used a thunderbolt 4 chip for usb 4

[ionic peak]

[ionic peak]

Yes is it good

[cosmic stratus]

Its be quiet so maybe

[cosmic idol]

What is the difference between usb 4 and thunderbolt
I thought they were like a similar standard using the usb c connector

[tidal geyser]

O NOOOOO

[frosty ruin]

As long as you don’t have 85+ certifications u good

[ionic peak]

Molex to 6 pin

[ionic peak]

usb is controlled by the usb fondation or whatever its called

and usually implies forged safety standards and features

[tidal geyser]

i guess its more open but not sure about more than that

it’ll be double my mums car insurance lmao

[ionic peak]

5k?

[cosmic idol]

Joys of being freshly 18 and needing to insure my own bike

[ionic peak]

Im nearl 19

[frosty ruin]

20Gbits USB Port has PD, USB 4 port no PD

[cosmic idol]

It’ll be like 3.5kAUD roughly

My mums annually would be less than that - by a long shot

[frosty ruin]

Yes

[ionic peak]

Holly molly

[frosty ruin]

Still annoys me tho that PD is not on the 40gbits one

[tidal geyser]

usb 4 can have PD

[frosty ruin]

Yea

[cosmic idol]

I’ll see if I can shop around a bit more but yeah it’s looking pricy haha

[ionic peak]

Thata 17,5x my setup worth

[tidal geyser]

also those ports should be paired as in there is a reason why you see 2 thunderbolt or usb 4 ports on stuff

[ionic peak]

If it's euro

[frosty ruin]

But hey I can charge my phone as fast as with my dedicated charger

And leave the usb 4 port free for smh else

There is a 16-17 and 18-20 and 21+ rate. It’s why I said very similar

not when you're dealing with car audio

By then NVIDIA stopped producing for consumers

[tacit star]

And 8K gaming still won't be a thing

[frosty ruin]

8k is overhyped like AI

Yeah

[tacit star]

Yeah just post it on ebay or facebook marketplace. Make sure to protect the pins tho, see if you can 3d print something for that

[tulip sparrow]

Can't afford it this month but should be able to next month

[tacit star]

I mean is it safe to ship it without the original box, that's what I wanted to say

[eager mango]

i got ethernet, notice 0 difference what so ever

cat6 cable btw

[frigid blade]

as long as you package it safely, yah you need some kind of anti-static packaging

these

ignore the other thing but thats why they ship them in these bags

[livid escarp]

Question

How is anything over 100% utilization possible?

[valid fiber]

well it's some software error

[livid escarp]

Both my PCs do it occasionally

Both Intel and AMD

[valid fiber]

🤷‍♂️ idn maybe they count overclocking as more than 100%
other than that it makes no sense

[tacit star]

I don't have the bag too

[livid escarp]

It's less random on my AMD system, it just goes up to 124% and sits there. The one in the pic is my Intel system and it seems to be random

[frigid blade]

This is probably some kind of extra boost

[livid escarp]

I've been considering grabbing a better cooler for it, probably should lol

[frigid blade]

well what are the temps?

It sat at 80° during the steam download but it has gotten warmer in the past

It's a OEM HP SFF office pc so it doesn't have the best airflow lol

[valid fiber]

yup that doesn't look like a good cooler

[livid escarp]

It's good enough for the 9th gen i5 in there but not if I decide to swap it for a i7

[plain cypress]

That's an understatement lmao

Airflow is more like wishful thinking here

[livid escarp]

The cpu fan is the only exhaust fan lol

I've considered doing something similar to what J2C did with the Tenacious D pc and cut a fan intake somewhere in the case and try to make it look decent

Probably in that open space next to the hdd

[valid fiber]

i did custom loop watercooling with an oversized radiator with my first PC in 2010 and I'm still reusing the watercooling parts to this day

[livid escarp]

Only thing I kinda wish I could have done different was the gpu, the 3050 6g is the fastest lp <75w card I could find since this psu doesn't have any external pcie power

There are some versions of this pc that came with a beefier psu but they aren't exactly cheap lol

Plus the hard drive mount blocks where the 6/8 pin connector would go unless I decide to cut a hole in that

[sleek ibex]

I wish we still had parts from our first custom loop

i finally witnessed an ultrawide 1440p OLED in person and now i need one. I know samsung has a burn in curve that functionally bricks the monitor after awhile, do yall know of one that is relatively long lasting? I dont wanna drop 900$ on a monitor ill use for just 3 years

[warm anvil]

I like black builds

[fathom hatch]

It's nice, will be upgrading later this year or next year though

[sleek ibex]

[frosty ruin]

Guys I think we have fail of the week here

[outer swift]

dang,what happend

[pulsar root]

Looks like gremlins

[zinc cloud]

wth?

[frosty ruin]

Some dude glued his riser to the PCIe 4.0 x16 slot and mangled the shit outta the IO shield because something didn’t fit

[outer swift]

dayum

[frosty ruin]

Natural selection

[zinc cloud]

wow

[outer swift]

what about from inside the pc motherboard?

[outer swift]

what's that yellow circle

[frosty ruin]

If u look closely you can see it glued in there

[outer swift]

i dont see it

[frosty ruin]

Oh and the M.2 screw was glued too

[outer swift]

how you gonna remove that

[frosty ruin]

Hopes and prayers

[outer swift]

indeed

[frosty ruin]

Okay so the reason the IO is mangled is because its misaligned

[ivory glade]

Does my 90° power adapter on my gpu need to click all the way down. Mine doesn't and I haven't been brave enough to use it that way

[novel tangle]

yo, it is worth buying another amd gpu for cheap for crossfire setup in 2026 (i assume no)

[tidal geyser]

crossfire has not worked since like rx 500 or smn

[novel tangle]

yeah i found a rx580 selling for 60 bucks atm so i plan to grab it for my pc
tho iirc crossfire is not widely supported but im not sure

[tidal geyser]

i am amazed rx 500 is still getting any amount of support now a days

[novel tangle]

if crossfire is still relevant somehow imma just grab the card for 60 bucks but if not imma just saving money for better gpu

[tidal geyser]

get a modern gpu

something with at least RT cores

maybe something nvidia for that sweet sweet dlss

[novel tangle]

im pretty sure the card is still one of the most popular amd card today 😂

[tidal geyser]

sadly works best with rtx 4000 and up

[novel tangle]

so saving for money for a modern card it is?
cuz 2 rx580 setup for crossfire sounds pretty badass tbh

[tidal geyser]

the rx 550 is more steam sucks

[agile fulcrum]

the rtx 5050 laptop has faster memory than the rtx 5050 desktop

[tidal geyser]

ok

[tidal geyser]

not at all

[novel tangle]

what new card would u recommend then?
i dont care about any of that upscaling/frame gen cuz my monitor is only 1440x900 so fps wont never be an issue

[tidal geyser]

how much money do you have to play with

rtx 2060 super tend to be well priced at times

[novel tangle]

about 150 bucks max

maybe 200

[tidal geyser]

rtx 3060 ti, maybe a rtx 4060 with some luck, used b580 maybe, rx 6700 xt maybe maybe, kinda unlucky tho right now.

[novel tangle]

dont need to be brand new tho, im fine with used stuff 👀

[tidal geyser]

well all the recs are used

only the b580 can really be had new

maybe new old stock on the 4060

[novel tangle]

b580 little hard to find in my country, maybe 6700 xt is a better option cuz the 3060ti only have 8gig of vram

will 6700xt give more fps than 3060ti? framegen not included

[tidal geyser]

both of em are only software based frame gen

a light bit of dlss and the 3060 ti is gonna be way above, but yes the 6700 xt should have a tiny bit more raw performance

i love even as old as rtx 2060 can use dlss 4.5 but anything before rtx 4000 lacks fp8 so has pretty big performance drop offs

[novel tangle]

noted, so 6700xt it is, thanks for the recommendation
now i just have to save some money

[tidal geyser]

i wonder if the prices are going to grow at the same rate you make money

[thin plover]

I love my 6700xt

[novel tangle]

lets hope not, it should only take me until june for me to have enough money

[thin plover]

the prices might have increased by then

don't trust me on this but I think I'd be better to buy ram and ssd's now as they're both rapidly growing in prices atm

idk about gpu's

[tidal geyser]

YES PANIC MORE

my ram is gonna be worth millions

[sour marsh]

beating myself up still cuz i decided not to upgrade like a month before the boom

[sharp cave]

anyone know what is the best way to transfer an almost 300gb folder or a 276gb rar file from a remote machine to a local machine?

[novel tangle]

i wonder when will the rampocalypse will end cuz at this rate i will never be able to buy a new pc

[sour marsh]

still on 32gb so not big deal but still unfortunate

[sour marsh]

true

ram and storage is legit like 1/3 of pc builds

and now gpus going up too

[novel tangle]

all of that cuz of AI, smh

[sour marsh]

yep

[novel tangle]

AI is not even that good, look at microsoft, 30% of their OS code is made by AI and let just say their OS is not in its best shape

[sour marsh]

well as much as i hate it i have some understanding

its a race to see who can make the best llm

whoever wins the infinite race kinda becomes a monopoly

[novel tangle]

let just hope this race end soon, the situ is looking like a mess rn
but i personally think this would last until 2030, maybe even more, AI just doesnt seems to be that advanced yet

do you think its nearly better to sell the current pc and just build a new one instead of upgrading and selling parts individually?

[slow sable]

Cool! Much better computer than mine lol

[sour marsh]

i started looking at the pc and all of a sudden i was less interested in the pc

[tidal geyser]

it aint got no ram in it

[sour marsh]

ah god dam

tf???

bro downloaded ram

[royal stone]

is like 250 usd good for 32gb ddr5 6400mhz ram?

[sour marsh]

yes

[royal stone]

hmm

might buy now that its on sale but need to sell my current pc and rebuild one capable of ddr5 etc

[sour marsh]

at least if i convert it to aud and compare prices here but not 100%

if u get it better in you're area than maybe not

[sour marsh]

if it makes sense to you

[royal stone]

ye the white colour is 600 usd and the black one is 250 so prob a good deal

[sour marsh]

not sure if ddr5 speeds are worth a whole pc upgrade

[slow sable]

The ram is outside of the pc

Sitting on top of it

[sour marsh]

maybe if u find a cpu motherboard combo that works with ddr5 that would be better

[slow sable]

Oh you’re interested in my sad little network ?

this is the worst possible time to switch to ddr5

[slow sable]

What did you do on it? With Mac it’s kinda always a 50/50 depending on your workflow

[sour marsh]

i had it for study bit of video editing on the road and entertainment.

so kinda the ideal stuff

but just gonna get a new intel laptop

[slow sable]

Mixed bag I guess. I edit and I find this computer to be the best I’ve ever used

[brazen glen]

Guess you’re not doing editing off AC power usually

Has Intel fixed their on battery perf yet

[sour marsh]

oh

i normally have access to power so not a big deal ig

[brazen glen]

That’s sort of the killer feature for Mac, you get full fat performance until your battery is dead

[sour marsh]

ik ik

was the first thing that made me happy using it

[strange atlas]

guys give me a opinion should i buy 3d printer or upgrade/get a pc

current specs
rx6800
r5 5600
2x16 3200mhz cl16 rams

i really want to upgrade cpu but doesnt seem that smart thing to do in this mobo it only supports pcie gen 3 and its not future proof

[sour marsh]

if you can still play all ur games you like and don't have any need for a new pc than better graphics than maybe the printer would be better

[strange atlas]

only gpu seems to be dying but i think there is more time left

like i'm getting lines on screen but still works correctly

[sour marsh]

hmm as long as that is the issue than maybe a gpu slight upgrade like second hand or something but its all about if it makes sense to you

[strange atlas]

what gpu would be a good fit for this system if its not much to ask

i can get second hand this was also second hand gpu i'm open for recommendations

[sour marsh]

yk what, just thinking now thats a decent gpu for 2026. maybe the same or similar card just so you don't have the lines or try for a warranty?????
then just sell the old gpu ngl

[strange atlas]

cant sell the old one thats for sure in bottom there is lines nobody would buy it and crashes sometimes

[sour marsh]

hmm try get it fixed but thats all the advice i got ngl

[strange atlas]

but i can try to get rx 6800 xt i belive xt is more suitiable for almost all the 1440p games

[strange atlas]

oh i tought it was die problem could it be like vram?

[tidal geyser]

o yes

[eternal cloak]

So how'd you lose $4,000

[fringe prairie]

affinity photo and davinci/kdenlive maybe

if you hate adobe

[daring wadi]

Is there any reason then when I open my monitors menu on any monitor I own / have owned it seems to get rid of my input delay but as soon as i close the menu the input delay is back? happens on both msi and asus monitors

[blissful prism]

They sent me a prebuilt with a broken gpu, they told me to mail it back to them do they can rma and send me a new one, i do that after packaging it with the most upmost care since they said id have to incur the cost if they deem any of it was broken due to improper packaging, now they've received it and are telling me ill have to just buy a new 5090(???) Since its damaged not defective

Meaning they cant send it back to the manufacturer

[tidal geyser]

how

[stray portal]

Kdenlive is hot garbage but maybe il try davinci

[eternal cloak]

Small claims court ey

[tidal geyser]

did you take tons of pictures of the packaging and the computer itself when you got it?

[ivory mountain]

Skytech is some ass my first pc was from them, first the cpu cooler peel wasnt fully taken off causing extremely high temps

Fast forward a few months later, right after christmas, the 3060ti just completely dies. I noticed the warranty sticker was messed up, meaning someone had opened it and then put it in my pc

[blissful prism]

Took pictures of the computer and gpu, and there is a picture of the packaging

[tidal geyser]

should be pretty easy to win then

[rigid fjord]

they're no better than cyberpower tbh as an SI

[eternal cloak]

I'm ngl if I ever recommend prebuilts I just go with Skyforge, at least they're verified non-dipshits

[blissful prism]

Ina have to look into small claims courts idk how at all to do thay

[ivory mountain]

Incredibly overrated and overpriced, thankfully the builder got fired, ik someone that works there but havent talked to him in years

[tidal geyser]

tis why i started building my own puters

now it costs way way way too much to even try

[ivory mountain]

Same lmao after that i havent had a prebuilt since

[stray portal]

Prebuilts are dumb most of the time

[tidal geyser]

for some people they got no choice

[frosty ruin]

Found this gem at AliExpress

[stray portal]

Where im from most pc stores offer assembly at checkout so if u get it with parts they still build it for you

[eternal cloak]

Ye you can look it up or ask at a court house how to file stuff like that, but small claims is good for stuff below $5,000 and is easy to explain, generally no need for a lawyer either

[grizzled frost]

they got that fancy ass 90 plus gold

[rigid fjord]

the only prebuild worth touching are oem prebuilds for office/warehouse/school/college/uni use tbh

[tidal geyser]

so prebuilt

[tidal geyser]

only with the downside of not getting as good of a deal

[fringe prairie]

super silent

[tidal geyser]

well eh most SIs use fkn horrible PSUs and such

[rigid fjord]

so basically an SI prebuild in this case

[eternal cloak]

You select the parts and they assemble it, usually for a fee

It's not exactly the same, you generally still save money

[tidal geyser]

iv seen it go both ways

[ocean axle]

depends, and surprisingly dell/etc dont use shit PSUs usually

commonly they use cheap (low watt) but pretty high quality units

[tidal geyser]

dems are OEMs

[eternal cloak]

The PSUs Dell uses are legitimately insane and I love it

[tidal geyser]

platinum in a 1660 pc

[grizzled frost]

OEMs are different from SIs

[tidal geyser]

i think it was OEMs do it all while SIs only slap the parts together

[ocean axle]

SIs it also depends and they dont all use shit PSUs

[grizzled frost]

More or less

[rigid fjord]

tbf, dell be an oem, and they use something like platinum rated psu's in their systems which lets be honest is completely wild

[tidal geyser]

yup but its pretty common to see pretty bad PSUs and such on lower end units

[ocean axle]

thats true regardless of its its from an SI or not

[tidal geyser]

there is a reason why we do help and allow people to post prebuilts in build a pc

[eternal cloak]

Weren't you the guy who really likes Optifine

[stray portal]

Bad psus should be illegal theyre fire risk

[tidal geyser]

tbf that unit if it did not have a bad component or whatever the issue was should have been around b tier i think

[eternal cloak]

The problem is that you can't immediately determine if they're a fire risk or not, as there's no legally required tests

[ocean axle]

when selling as many computers as dell does, that efficiency difference matters

[frosty ruin]

yes

[ocean axle]

particularly because they know how their computers get used, and its commonly in the very low wattage range, so the low range efficiency matters a lot

dell is also having Delta/LiteON make a 250w platinum unit, because they also dont need that many watts

so, its not expensive for it because its so low watts, and it makes a meaningful difference in the fleet power usage

[tidal geyser]

when a PSU goes its not uncommon for the rest of the parts to go with it, aka spend like 30$ more on a better psu vs like 500$+ for a new pc when they get a warranty claim

[frosty ruin]

First 9850X3D bundles rolling out

[ocean axle]

also, ive had some titanium rated unites from dell

[ocean axle]

oh, its probably like $3 more for them

[tidal geyser]

true

higher quality also means a tiny bit lighter too

[ocean axle]

if you consider that a retail 1kw 80+ gold unit (A rated) can be had for $110, the cost difference for dell on a 250w unit they are buying huge numbers of

[tidal geyser]

they are also putting the same psu in a WHOLE HELL of a lot of different puters

[ocean axle]

mhmmm

[tidal geyser]

and make a lot of other ones too so can get even better parts prices

who was it again that got that hx 370 laptop a few weeks ago

[dusty solar]

Hey guys, quick question, I have this monitor "Acer Nitro XV275K P5", and due to the circular shape of the VESA mount area, it only supports 75x75mm VESA brackets, however I am legit unable to find any 75x75mm VESA monitor arms that have ONLY 75x75mm... What are the alternatives (sorry i was not sure where to put this). I got only two spacers/standoffs with my monitor, will they be enough to hold the monitor or do I need all four?

[rigid fjord]

tbf, it's still good just not as good as as much newer ones

[tidal geyser]

1300$ for a flip model too

[tidal geyser]

yup

[rigid fjord]

most vesa mounts does both 100 x 100mm and 75 x 75mm

2 sets of hole locations on vesa mounts

[dusty solar]

No but like the back of the monitor is too small to fit 100x100 ones (cause of the circular shape), basically either I need a mount that is maximum 75x75mm or else it just won't fit

[rigid fjord]

and you're not listening to what's being said

has both mounting points, comes with spacers

comes with screws like this

[frosty ruin]

[rigid fjord]

also get 30mm spacers like this

[dusty solar]

Cannot find any spacers like this unfortunately that ship to where I live, what are they called I might just be searching wrong?

[rigid fjord]

mount the vesa side like so

[rigid fjord]

vesa mount spacer kit

hell, you could 3d print some if you have a 3d printer

[dusty solar]

I got exactly 2 spacers with the monitor; Will they be enough or do i need all 4?

[rigid fjord]

you'd want all 4 ideally

[warm saddle]

https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/xpg-core-reactor-750w-power-supply-review is this psu enough for 9800x3d + 9070xt?

[dusty solar]

don't have a 3d printer mate

[rigid fjord]

you have a core reactor or core reactor 2?

[warm saddle]

1

thats why i posted the link

[ivory mountain]

hahahahha its funnier the 90th time 🤣🤣🤣

[rigid fjord]

tier A psu basically, more than ideal for it, would be better if it was an 850w one due to transient spikes but otherwise should be fine

[rigid fjord]

what country?

[dusty solar]

india

[warm saddle]

i have the psu already, will be the spikes really problem?

[rigid fjord]

[rigid fjord]

not for that psu, it shouldn't be

[dusty solar]

oh thanks!

[rigid fjord]

any mount you get should really come with a set like this as it is

[crude osprey]

Yall is it worth getting an AIO with 3 fans for nearly $400 or getting an AIO with only two fans for $179?

It's the same AIO just with different fan amounts

[dusty solar]

Oh, the mounts also have these? I must have thrown them away lmao cause never really needed them until now xD

[rigid fjord]

not worth paying more tha $80 for a good 360mm aio

[tidal geyser]

air cooler

for 30$ that can cool a 9950X

[ivory mountain]

what aio is $400

[rigid fjord]

asus one

[ivory mountain]

oh that trash ass aio is still that much?

[crude osprey]

The ASUS ROG STRIX LC II 360 that you can only buy from newegg because they no longer produce it 😭

[rigid fjord]

sadly because it uses noctua fans, yes

[ivory mountain]

if you want a screen that bad get a thermalright grand vision or something

can make a damn cpu-only custom loop for that price if you budget well

[crude osprey]

The purpose of the ROG one is the fact that it doesn't have an LCD screen, its just a ROG logo that can be controlled from Aura Sync.

[rigid fjord]

still a shit aio for it's price and still not beating the likes of a frozen notte 360mm for $60

[ivory mountain]

so ur paying 400 dollars for a basic aio but paying the asus tax

[rigid fjord]

asus and noctua tax

[rigid fjord]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/7Phv6h/ <$53 and 360mm aio

[crude osprey]

Is the LC II using Noctua fans? I'd assume it uses something alike to ASUS's XF120 Fans

[ivory mountain]

im glad they made a v2 frozen notte, the v1 was awesome but the ones they sent me all died

[rigid fjord]

the ryukin one does, and that's wildly overpriced

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/F9kH99/ <- also $53 and 360mm aio

[crude osprey]

Yeah no I'm not thinking about getting the ryukin, my father has that and the LCD on it's just too tacky for me. Ideally I'd go with one of these.

And I do correct myself, it's nearly $300, not nearly $400

[frosty ruin]

I always wondered from what the CPU pcb color comes from

[rigid fjord]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/b8MXsY/
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/sxP8TW/
both 360mm aio's, both with screens, and for less than $80

as long as you don't lose it, you're golden

[crude osprey]

Funilly enough not even the ASUS Tax. This is seemingly what its normal price is

It just got a huge price increase because ASUS no longer makes it

[tidal geyser]

look what i found someone doing

[sleek ibex]

oooooooh, oooooooooh boy

[crude osprey]

Huh I could get the dual fan through ASUS directly for only $110

[ivory mountain]

[frosty ruin]

I think so

Also have Q release gpu but u know what happened months ago

Ermh *scratched pcie x16 on the gpus ermh

[crude osprey]

Okay yall reasking my question with a new finding.

Is it worth it spending $200 more for an extra fan on an AIO?

Same AIO, just one extra fan

[frosty ruin]

I mean it works flawlessly

[tidal geyser]
