Smell like it buring was just dusting my pc set on my desk and it fell off when I was taking side panel off

[glacial cliff]

if i'm on windows 11 25h2 is there a way to install win10 lts without any form of removable media (flash drive, disk, etc) with a clean install, and also will the windows key still work or will i need a new one?

[tidal geyser]

das called breaking it yea

most things do not like being dropped

[tidal geyser]

spend 5$

LTS uses a different key

[glacial cliff]

yes i was asking if i had to do that or not

[tidal geyser]

you do

[glacial cliff]

i get there are ways to not spend $100 on windows

[tidal geyser]

LTS costs a lot more than 100

[glacial cliff]

ty ❤️

[steady widget]

if youre desperate you can see if any of your devices work as external media

[glacial cliff]

all of my devices were damaged by water intrusion due to a steam link

so far ive replaced a single laptop anda single monitor

[steady widget]

ah

[glacial cliff]

im trying to get this to a comfortable working state to begin detailing everything else for insurance and replace it

[tidal geyser]

the key on your pc im not sure about being able to survive a install of LTS tho

[glacial cliff]

thats fine i was just wanting to be prepared. if the first response was to assume no, i'll look into a win10 lsc key before attempting the "downgrade"

[rose sorrel]

it must have brushed motor when i run it it smell burny

that brushed motor smell

[boreal tiger]

is it worth learning HTML and CSS

[steady widget]

you dont need to get the actual liscence key, just get the Windows 10 installer ISO onto any usb drive

[tidal geyser]

well it is a ultra cheap thing

[tidal geyser]

wat

he wants to install the LTS version

[steady widget]

OH ok

[tidal geyser]

yea

[rose sorrel]

it was $25

[tidal geyser]

so yes

[rose sorrel]

worst then is keep usign it when i burn it up i get differnt on

[tidal geyser]

wat

[craggy cove]

pbo -30 +200mhz on a 7500f before and after, very non scientific cs2 test

(phone camera cause theres no internet on this pc rn)

[rose sorrel]

juts going to keep it the motor i smell it juts for my rc car to blow it out

i am pretty use it has brush motor that the smell my drill has same smell when it gets hot

no i am just going insane

[vital gyro]

I think I'm gonna upgrade from my 2nd Gen iPod Nano to an LG V20 since I'm already running out of storage (not surprised because my iPod Nano is only 2GB). I would get an iPod Touch, but the V20 is cheaper and has USB-C, meaning I can use the AKG earbuds that I got with my old S20+ back in 2020.

Luckily I buy all my music unless it's literally unavailable to buy everywhere, which has happened less than 10 times since I usually just collect CDs.

[gleaming rose]

qobuz is lovely

[vital gyro]

The Goodwills near me will sometimes have good CDs and it's literally $1/CD.

[hallow jasper]

I realized a few years ago I haven't owned an optical disk in general in over a decade

let alone anything to play one

[craggy cove]

maybe nvidia can help them out with the 13 trillion

[hallow jasper]

the same thing has been available since November 2024 and is cheaper, if you can't wait

[ivory mountain]

pointless release

[tidal geyser]

iv told him that more times than you can imagine

[craggy cove]

most of life is pointless

[tidal geyser]

he is gonna get it he does not care

[ivory mountain]

watching frieren isnt pointless

[hallow jasper]

no one with half a clue is excited about 9850x3D

[craggy cove]

watching it for the third time is

[ivory mountain]

how dare you

[craggy cove]

(i will watch it for a third time if s2 comes out)

[tidal geyser]

im even gonna sell off my desktop thats how disappointed i am

[ivory mountain]

s2 been out for weeks

[tidal geyser]

gamer that command does nothing

[ivory mountain]

why are we posting registry entries in chat

[hallow jasper]

Rule is if you have to ask about the registry, you shouldn't be touching the registry. @thin bloom

[tidal geyser]

but its a weekly release schedule

[ivory mountain]

they said "if s2 comes out" i was letting them know it was out

[craggy cove]

huh???

[frosty ruin]

Only 60€ more like meh. I’ll get the newest one because I’m coming from AM4

[craggy cove]

and nobody told me

[tidal geyser]

fair nuf

[craggy cove]

i thought you were baiting me at first till i googled

[ivory mountain]

😭

[craggy cove]

well shit

3rd time it is then

[ionic peak]

i am

[thin bloom]

I'm trying to fix the 60hz lock my pc is having. I'm taking pc commands that Google ai is giving me and putting it into registry editor

[ivory mountain]

its locked to 60hz cuz u have a 60hz monitor

[hallow jasper]

This is how beginners end up with a bricked Windows install.

[frosty ruin]

The 9800X3D is at 460€ rn

So yea might aswell pay little more to get the newest flagship

[craggy cove]

damn its gonna be that short?

[hallow jasper]

Identify the difference between refresh rate (hz) and framerate, first.

[ionic peak]

im getting 5700x if it is below 120 or near 100

[ivory mountain]

only 2 episodes are out right now, its weekly, theirs gonna be 10 total

[tidal geyser]

is your screen over 60hz?

[ivory mountain]

fair enough i still love my 7800x3d ❤️‍🩹

[craggy cove]

aliexpress 9800x3d for 400€

[frosty ruin]

https://tenor.com/view/erm-aksuali-veli-vel-nerd-nerd-emoji-gif-11908435316515627035

[fringe prairie]

wow thats kinda terrible

[ionic peak]

on am4 still

[craggy cove]

found my answer eventually but yeah google summaries are really (not) accurate

[fringe prairie]

in germany i believe you can get a tray 7800x3d for close to 300 euro

[ionic peak]

on both systems

[craggy cove]

shoulda bought this

[frosty ruin]

Still solid cpu tho

[craggy cove]

(not really)

7500x3d is also a thing now but eh

[thin bloom]

Yes. Left and right are 60hz while the center is 240hz. Games are stuck at 60 and won't go any higher. I been talking to Google ai for hours trying to fix the issue

[ivory mountain]

its good for gaming not really anything else though

[frosty ruin]

But the cache is above the cores I think

[fringe prairie]

https://geizhals.de/amd-ryzen-7-7800x3d-100-100000910-a2872867.html
yep 307 euro

[hallow jasper]

So clearcut problem, but you went to the worst possible way to find a solution.

[frosty ruin]

Geizhals

[tidal geyser]

how many games and are you sure you have not set fps lock on nvidia app?

[thin bloom]

I been having this problem for weeks after a windows 10 security up

[fringe prairie]

yes the better pcpp for germany

[ivory mountain]

your side monitors legit might be older than me

my grandmother had the one on the right

[frosty ruin]

[craggy cove]

atleast am5 prices arent going up

[frosty ruin]

I would be worried if

[hallow jasper]

DDU, check VSync off everywhere, enable/disable GSync, reset game settings and check VSync off there, try more than one game, uninstall anything that manipulates the GPU like Afterburner, etc.. AI isn't going to help you do this properly.

[tidal geyser]

due to how those cpus are made it should become even cheaper

[ionic peak]

if hot enough its liquid

[rose sorrel]

Why my printing doing this ?

Do I need to manually level it ?

[thin bloom]

I have the games set to my center monitor's setting. It's something to do with stupid windows 10. Current gpu is rx 5600 xt

[tidal geyser]

JESUS

[craggy cove]

bring me a 150€ 7600x3d in europe and my life is yours amd

[ionic peak]

it indentifies as a coffe machiene

[tidal geyser]

why the hell did you not turn it off the instant you heard that sound

[steady widget]

as a goof

[tidal geyser]

stop touching electronics

[craggy cove]

maybe they just do that

[frosty ruin]

Well u got urself a wafer again I guess

[rose sorrel]

Because I wanted a video

[steady widget]

its just expressing itself jeez

[ionic peak]

hotter

[rose sorrel]

I have not add issues out of it this all the sudden

[hallow jasper]

Well, i tried

[tidal geyser]

are you trying to lower the build plate or something?

[frosty ruin]

Silicon steam

[ionic peak]

you tried hard

[ionic peak]

plasma

[frosty ruin]

Silicon athmosphere

[rose sorrel]

To go up and print

[ionic peak]

yes

[tidal geyser]

the up arrow goes up and the down arrow goes down

if you press the down arrow when its at the bottom it will do what its doing there

also jesus flashforge printers are dumb

this is the way

[tidal geyser]

also pleas tell me you turned it off the instant you heard the sound

[rose sorrel]

Yeah after video

[tidal geyser]

wait does it make that sound when you're homing it?

[rose sorrel]

Get this

[thin bloom]

I don't use the games vsync. I use the free sync that the monitor has. I do use afterburner but I have the fps locked to 240hz. I have used ddu and it didn't fix the problem. Sometimes the program fixed the problem but other times it didn't

[rose sorrel]

Yeah then fails and says that pic

[ionic peak]

carefull

[frosty ruin]

I almost destroyed my AM4 socket the first time I repasted my cpu

[tidal geyser]

as in multimeter between the cables on the connector to see if it would close or open when you are pressing down on it

[frosty ruin]

I pushed the lever a little to hard back

[hallow jasper]

You're not going to get anywhere until you completely revert everythign to defaults.

[tidal geyser]

reinstall windows and see what changes

[hallow jasper]

And uninstall everything that isn't essential. You say you're only doing this one thing in afterburner, but how do I know thats true? Are you an expert?

This is the problem with remote troubleshooting

[ivory mountain]

i can guarantee bro destroyed that install with the gemini reg entries

[thin bloom]

Bruh I'm not going to reinstall windows. I hade to reinstall it a few weeks ago

[hallow jasper]

We have to give very specific instructions and unless they're followed, there are unknowns

[tidal geyser]

i really really want to just put all my focus into my own thing but right now that aint very possible

[hallow jasper]

Something you have installed or something you configured is locking your games to 60fps

[hallow jasper]

do it

[rose sorrel]

Yeah same

[thin bloom]

[tidal geyser]

are you sure the switch is making contact with the motherboard?

[thin bloom]

Gemini reg entries?

[tidal geyser]

windows registry

[thin bloom]

I was about to saw "wtf is that"

[rose sorrel]

Think I found issues

[fringe prairie]

pretty much what der8auer had to say lol

[rose sorrel]

It Ik the back rollers

[tidal geyser]

are you able to take a better pic as uh das not gud

[frosty ruin]

Race Cars aren’t efficient either ah CPU

[tidal geyser]

like iv said its just a overclocked from the factory 9800X3D

[tidal geyser]

at least race cars are faster than normal ones by a lot

[ivory mountain]

the power draw difference between the 7800x3d and 9800x3d is insane already, now this exists

[rose sorrel]

This was back there

[frosty ruin]

My AIO gonna have a fielday

[hallow jasper]

defaulted PBO to On and shipped it

(not actually, but effectively)

[frosty ruin]

Just better binned

[tidal geyser]

thats just a 3d printer part

[frosty ruin]

And oced

[hallow jasper]

snoozefest, is what it is

Zen6 is the way

[tidal geyser]

nova lake

meh we will see

[hallow jasper]

and buy a new board? yeah no thanks

(which is why it won't be popular)

[tidal geyser]

idc im ditchign my desktop

[hallow jasper]

sim needs pantherlake

[tidal geyser]

yeeeaaa rumors are zen 7 might come to am5

[rose sorrel]

I didn’t know it was back there

[hallow jasper]

I saw rumblings about that a while ago, nothing since. Way too far out

[tidal geyser]

oh yea, but also im using a now probs closer to 3000$ desktop for discord and youtube

[frosty ruin]

My pockets are extra open for that

[tidal geyser]

i do see its up now, are you able to film a video of it homing now?

[hallow jasper]

something like if DDR6 wasn't going to be ready yet, they might release Zen7 on AM5

[jovial swan]

https://www.proshop.dk/Grafikkort/Sparkle-Arc-Pro-B60-Blower-24GB-GDDR6-RAM-Grafikkort/3409952

This a good card?, it has twice the amount of vram my current pc has

[hallow jasper]

all guesses at this point though

[frosty ruin]

DDR6 gonna put the last nail in the coffin

[tidal geyser]

hmmmm 200$ for

[rose sorrel]

Will do

[tidal geyser]

very much but not for what you do i would imagine

[hallow jasper]

Depends on what you consider "good"

all that for spitting distance of a nearly 6 year old 3060

gonna be a pass for me

[jovial swan]

Oh yikes.

[hallow jasper]

could have 96GB of VRAM and that doesn't make it fast

[jovial swan]

Oh well back to lappy hunting

[hallow jasper]

only one metric

[tidal geyser]

panther lake is taking its sweet time

[frosty ruin]

Intel Core Ultra 9X

[steady widget]

what card do you have now though?

[tidal geyser]

4070

[steady widget]

but yeah like they said vram isnt everything

[tidal geyser]

if possible ama get a x7

[steady widget]

oh yeah 4070 is better

what resolution are you normally playing at?

[tidal geyser]

he wanted to do a 880m laptop with a 2.8k oled on battlefield

[frosty ruin]

Still solid

[tidal geyser]

i think the only difference is the name and like a tiny amount of ghz

[frosty ruin]

Basically core i9 14900KS ah Moment

[frigid blade]

lol

[tidal geyser]

yea could think k vs ks

[frigid blade]

maybe with upscaling and low settings

[jovial swan]

I can already find them now, but not the X variants

[jovial swan]

Imma get an X7 aswell whenever the heck they wanna release.

[rose sorrel]

Are Flash Forge 3d printers Good ?

[tidal geyser]

no

[frosty ruin]

[frosty ruin]

Everything’s else is beefy

[tidal geyser]

bought it used?

did the seller say anything about it having issues?

[rose sorrel]

Yay

No they brought it now and used to make little trinkets to sell

[tidal geyser]

did you maybe ask the seller about the issue you were having?

[frosty ruin]

Imagine DHL sleeping when I order the 9850X3D

Or DoA

[rose sorrel]

Yeah they didn’t have any

They where upgrading to Resin one

[tidal geyser]

meh i kinda do not buy flashforges as bambu always just works

and when something fails it will be pretty easy to fix

[frosty ruin]

Bambu is €€€€

[rose sorrel]

I want a A1 but will use this one for a few years or a year or so and buy one

[tidal geyser]

200 aint much for my pockets

[rose sorrel]

I fixed it

[frosty ruin]

I saw some printer with Lidar shit and industrial stuff or whatever

[tidal geyser]

[rigid fjord]

my sister's partner has the ad5x, only issue he's had has been the heating element needing a change, otherwise been working perfectly fine with no issues

[frosty ruin]

The other day at work, these people came in trying to trade in their 12 pro max

The thing is; it had a bad battery and an aftermarket screen

Its funny when people think they can get away with lying about having an aftermarket screen

[solid quail]

Some random boards I've picked up as e-waste. The b450 you already know and then some z370 with a 9600k

zen+ and above and 8th gen and above support windows 11

aint half bad for gaming either

[empty quartz]

@solid quail this is my best e-waste find. Lga 2011, 96gb ddr3, and i forgot what cpu’s

[solid quail]

Picked up few 12500t dell mini pc:s in september 2024. Each had 16gb ram and 512 nvme

[tidal geyser]

i think a mod liked my laptop

[ebon marlin]

Holy what a deal

[tidal geyser]

no clicks but got a like

[empty quartz]

@solid quail get on my level

I have a severely degraded 9900k that was free

[solid quail]

Zen+ no longer supports windows 11. Windows 11 25H2 needs ryzen 3000 (with an exception of the G-series) or higher

[solid quail]

I had four 12500t chips two years ago.

All of em I got for free

[tidal geyser]

wat

[solid quail]

I'm not sure if you want to know what else I picked up for free then lol

[tidal geyser]

hmmmm

[tidal geyser]

i have a tower of laptops, pleas

[limpid ivy]

👀

[solid quail]

Same here. Picked up laptops from businesses back in 2023-2024

Pretty meh ones tho. The fastest ones were like 6700hq+ some gtx 900 gpu:s

[limpid ivy]

Been a while since I picked up systems that had a dgpu in them, just buiness enterprise equipment.

[tidal geyser]

modern igpus are so fkn fast

[limpid ivy]

That shouldn't be in my hands but I find ways to convince people to give it to me.

[tidal geyser]

the 12700h i got is doing some dam fine performing

[limpid ivy]

12500T is the latest one I have

mostly to mess around on cachyos

[tidal geyser]

:3

das inside a thread btw

[limpid ivy]

huh noice

[tidal geyser]

but yea 12th gen really was something for intel

[limpid ivy]

Honestly the best part with that hp elitedesk I have is that it's the vpro model sooo I wanna figure out how that works.

[ebon marlin]

And it has a poopoo igpu aswell which is crazy

[tidal geyser]

wah

[solid quail]

the hd770 was acceptable iirc

[ebon marlin]

Only intel iris xe aslong as you've got atleast 16gb of ram

Otherwise you have UHD

[tidal geyser]

its dual channel that is the thing

[ebon marlin]

Also needs 16gb of ram

[tidal geyser]

ofc if it runs out of ram you will not have a good thing

[tidal geyser]

i do not think so

[ebon marlin]

Intel Iris XE isn't great or recommended to use if you've got less than 16gb of ram

[tidal geyser]

not seeing anything about ram amount

[solid quail]

okay so one of my sources (the same one where I got the 12th gen dells from) might have some decommissioned servers in the very near future

[tidal geyser]

only needing dual channel is what i see

[ebon marlin]

Since Iris Xe likes to also eat half of ram

[tidal geyser]

its dynamic

[ebon marlin]

I know

[tidal geyser]

so matters more on what you are doing

anyhow yea no, any laptop that can use it aint gonna have 8GB ram or at least really really should not

[ebon marlin]

But it doesn't care how little ram you have it will halve ur ram if it wants to

[tired bear]

same as any other shared vram solutions

[tidal geyser]

what, i have many non with that issue

[random junco]

does it

[rose sorrel]

Is soldering Wires easy ?

[ebon marlin]

Yes

[random junco]

[rose sorrel]

Do I even need Soldering iron or can I Use lighter ? And Shrimp wrap.

[random junco]

lmaoo

[tidal geyser]

yup with the right stuff

[true stirrup]

Please get a soldering iron

[tidal geyser]

and rule nr.1 flux

[indigo basin]

get a soldering iron, a lighter is gonna burn pretty much anything

[rose sorrel]

I am looking AT DXC + should mod it for it take lipo or just use rechargeable battery’s or just reg batteries?

https://youtu.be/srxG8KHjdjI?si=nZeN6U3w6_Tm9V9

like this ?

It’s for my rc can someone watch video and let me know

[tidal geyser]

LIGHTER WTF

hitting rocks together would maybe be better than fkn that

[indigo basin]

depends on what youre soldering

[tidal geyser]

does it?

[indigo basin]

flux makes life easier but it aint needed

How this one already

[tidal geyser]

flux is like magic

[indigo basin]

i mean it helps but if its like 2 wires together and you tin the wires it doesnt matter too much

[rose sorrel]

I am soldering 2 wire together

[tidal geyser]

well the soldering wire you are using probs has flux core aka why its so easy

[random junco]

same here

[indigo basin]

no it was connecting a USB power line to a cheap laser diode 😭

[rose sorrel]

Your friend has shared a link to a Home Depot product they think you would be interested in seeing.

Here is Soldering iron I have

[random junco]

if u have it why not use it

[indigo basin]

good heavens

[thin bloom]

I don't know why but when I disable mpo the cpu core 3 goes to 100% and games run like shit

[indigo basin]

i have a £4 soldering iron

[tired bear]

and what do you want to do with it?

[rose sorrel]

https://youtu.be/srxG8KHjdjI?si=ato9ttzfC6MR7714

https://youtu.be/wI7aIGBtoVE?si=NAMcWvTy_A4cD58J

will some watch these and tell me if that soldering iron will work

[thin bloom]

Running like shit part is probably do with the i7 I have that only has 3 cores

[rose sorrel]

In video I sent

[tidal geyser]

try doing that

[indigo basin]

okay yeah you need flux for that

[tidal geyser]

i did not use flux there :3

[indigo basin]

maniac

[tidal geyser]

i really should have

i do not understand how that connection still works but meh

gonna offer a 1 year warranty or something

[tired bear]

what kind of solder do you have?
is it 60/40 leaded or lead free?

[indigo basin]

mm lead

[tidal geyser]

i am never gonna touch leaded

[rose sorrel]

It’s a rc remote I don’t know

[indigo basin]

eh not gonna hurt

aslong as you dont sniff the fumes youre fine

[tired bear]

fumes are not lead

[tidal geyser]

i do not have any good ways to blow it out anyways

[indigo basin]

im aware, but afaik fumes from solder still arent great

[tired bear]

fumes are same, hell lead free has worse fumes since rosin flux gets heated to higher temperature

[rose sorrel]

Can something designed for 6 to 6.5 v and 7 to 7.4 ?

[tidal geyser]

wat

[indigo basin]

depends on what it is

[pure trellis]

That's like 2-3k worth of work

[tired bear]

most likely its fine

[indigo basin]

aslong as it's not sensitive electronics yeah

[tired bear]

if you have doubts get a buck regulator

[exotic cape]

FAFO?

[indigo basin]

tried one of those for direct powering a phone but I couldn't get enough current:(

[rose sorrel]

I in to rc cars and going to buy a remote where I can run all my cars on one remote uses 4 AA batteries so I am at about 6 volts and can a battery that go in rc car that about 7 to 7.6 v will it work?

[tired bear]

easy way of powering a phone from 5v is to just add single silicon diode

[tidal geyser]

should yea

[pure trellis]

Ok,not 7.4, that's good

[tidal geyser]

1.5 bats can be a few volts above anyways

[indigo basin]

yeah, but depending on cooling maybe be careful with temps

[tired bear]

btw get a BMS so you dont discharge your lipo/li ion battery too much

[tidal geyser]

back massaging system

[indigo basin]

I mean this is AA to lipo, lipo will do way more current

[frosty ruin]

Yes 509€

https://www.notebooksbilliger.de/amd+ryzen+7+9850x3d+prozessor+911955?nbbct=4001_geizhals

[tidal geyser]

do not worry about that

true..

[pure trellis]

Depends yours stands on security

[tidal geyser]

and or stabilty

[cerulean dawn]

wdym

[rose sorrel]

Would a 300 mah battery be fine for that that’s about 10 hours right ?

[indigo basin]

[tidal geyser]

no issues on there?

no

[indigo basin]

nah just a joke

[tidal geyser]

reinstall discord

[upbeat folio]

whats the cause

[indigo basin]

it did happen to a friend of mine though

[upbeat folio]

of the artifacts

[tidal geyser]

discord doing discord things

maybe

[indigo basin]

electron and react

[indigo basin]

discord just gets laggier and laggier by the days

[stray plinth]

my PC just scared the shit outta me, I forgot it turns on by itself at 8 am

wat

tf you mean it turns itself off at 8am

[stray plinth]

it turns on

I setup wake by rtc for the school holidays

[exotic cape]

Bruh

[tidal geyser]

i just turn mine on when im uh awake

[exotic cape]

That's another level of laziness

[tidal geyser]

but also i have no real use for it

[stray plinth]

real

[indigo basin]

surely your pc cant take that long to boot 😭

[upbeat folio]

ppl don even be pressing the power button on manually no more

[exotic cape]

I just do the "go to sleep" route.

[stray plinth]

I'll be turning it on manually when school goes back, which is in exactly a week

[tidal geyser]

im getting 5 days of freedom

[pure trellis]

I am so sorry for you

[exotic cape]

School vacation?

[tidal geyser]

kinda, just a friday and money being free

so long long weekend

[exotic cape]

Ahh. I just have my regular 3 day weekend.

[tidal geyser]

haha

[exotic cape]

4 day work week FTW

[tidal geyser]

the one benefit of going to school

[exotic cape]

Then the money is the benefit from work.

[tidal geyser]

im only losing tons of money

[exotic cape]

I mean, I'm loosing tons as well, altho that's paying down loans.

[olive coyote]

hello , i wanted to ask how do ssds warranties work? is 1-2% health dropping covered in warranty?

[tidal geyser]

what loans

car?

[tidal geyser]

ever had a phone before?

do you warranty it when the battery full charge goes belove 100%?

[olive coyote]

ill take that as a no

[exotic cape]

80k car, 8k komplett and 3k Klarna.

[tidal geyser]

you can still write the amount of data written to it 98 times more

[tidal geyser]

iv never in my life taken out a loan but wow that car was cheap

[exotic cape]

I did put in 120k upfront for it.

[olive coyote]

i see , i kinda got worried since ssds are kinda unaffordable for me rn

[tidal geyser]

SSDs do not tend to die for consumers or well NAND does not go out

[olive coyote]

got my whole system upgraded but ssds sky rocketed at that time

[olive coyote]

does their performance at high health vs low health stay same

or is health just a measure of how long it will work

[exotic cape]

@tidal geyser I just hope the credit for the s26u will be approved. I already have 15k credit at power.

[olive coyote]

with performance being the same

[tidal geyser]

jesus

do not make Norway into america

[tidal geyser]

its like a phone battery

[exotic cape]

Hey, I can pay it down. Just not now.

[wet ember]

Anyone know why I'm stuck on 1903?

[olive coyote]

did u check for updates

[exotic cape]

I have not yet missed a payment,

[tidal geyser]

windows 10 is anyways unsupported for local users

[jaunty apex]

2019 update?

[tidal geyser]

this has to be a old pc

just install windows 11 or jump ship to linux

[wet ember]

Lol no

I'll try signing in and see what happens

[tidal geyser]

why windows so old?

[mellow coral]

Is it possible to uncap a laptop’s gpu tgp?

[mellow coral]

For example HP Omen Slim has a 90w cap on the 5060 which is 25w less than the max (115w) so would it be possible to bypass the cap and make it run at the 115w if thermals allow it?

[tidal geyser]

do you want to light your VRMs on fire?

[tidal geyser]

do you even have the thermal headroom on the gpu?

[cosmic idol]

Yesnt

[mellow coral]

I still didn’t buy the laptop yet I’m just asking if it was possible

[tidal geyser]

i would very much not

[cosmic idol]

long story short - laptop components have strict power limits simply due to how they were designed, and I wouldn’t recommend it

[tidal geyser]

25w does not do THAT much anyways

look at it

[cosmic idol]

plus then there’s the battery and what it’s rated for, and the brick, yada yada list goes on
In your case im not sure if the 25w delta is gonna make a difference anyway

[formal sonnet]

Likely because your OS missed an update somewhere along the way, and is now stuck on that version. We've had a few of these at work. You can try the Windows 11 upgrade assistant, but in our cases we had to pave and nuke the OS with a fresh Windows 11 install.

[mellow coral]

Theres a deal on one with a good price in my country and it’s the only decent laptop with a 1440p display in that price range but the only inconvenient is that the 5060 is limited to 90w

[fringe prairie]

if you flash a custom vbios yes

is it worth it? probably not

[tidal geyser]

its also in a super thin gaming laptop so good luck VRMs

[mellow coral]

And so I was wondering if I should just cop it or search for something better

[tidal geyser]

eh the 5060 with a nice bit of dlss is going to do wonders

[fringe prairie]

how much is it

[cosmic idol]

Bros searches
“Can I unlimit the power on my laptop”
“Why do I smell burning plastic from my laptop”
“How do I put a laptop fire out”
“Are burning laptops bad for you”

[mellow coral]

I’m mainly going to be using it for simulation, CAD, and 3d modeling

I don’t know enough about laptops so I’m not sure if its worth copping this one or not

[tidal geyser]

8GB might be a bit low but meh should work

[cosmic idol]

unless you NEED the form factor of a laptop, I always recommend just getting a desktop

[fringe prairie]

how much is it tho

[tidal geyser]

i hate my desktop

[kindred halo]

Not recommended

[kindred halo]

Why?

[tidal geyser]

idle is around most budget gaming laptops max usage in power draw

[cosmic idol]

Honestly it’ll probably be good enough for the average joe

[tidal geyser]

also i cant really drag my desktop around with me

and modern laptops do what i need em to do

[mellow coral]

1149

Usd

There’s the same one but the original non slim version for 1279

[mellow coral]

I would much rather get a desktop but I need the laptop’s portability since I’m mainly going to be using it in uni

[cosmic idol]

If I were to have one main rig
It would be a desktop no doubt

But I wouldn’t mind getting a second hand laptop with like a 2060 or something in it

[fringe prairie]

i’d rather the legion 7i if you’re going for that

[worn tinsel]

I keep seeing ram on aliexpress for so cheap I might buy one and see what it actually is because it can't be ddr4/5 ram it has to be something else, like 25 to 40 for 32gb of ddr4 and 30 to 50 for ddr5

[tidal geyser]

link

also yes aliexpress has tons of stock

[worn tinsel]

China is also making drr4 and 5 ram for somewhat cheap

[tidal geyser]

CXMT

[worn tinsel]

just search it up, it's everywhere lmao

[tidal geyser]

its 200 $ for me

for 16GB

[worn tinsel]

fr? damn

US?

[tidal geyser]

:3

[worn tinsel]

oh I fell for the aliexpress trap

I mean still, still cheaper than everywhere else

[tidal geyser]

knew it

[tidal geyser]

nope cheaper buying it local used

r5 4500u for 80$ hmmmm

[grizzled frost]

why do you love laptops with broken hinges so much

[cosmic idol]

sometimes they're a relatively easy fix (maybe even cheap)

I say sometimes intentionally
laptops being laptops, some shit just costs a fortune

[tidal geyser]

i don't

i just happen to come across so many

[grizzled frost]

this is like the third broken hinge laptop you've posted about

[tidal geyser]

i did nothing

trust me

but yea no broken hinges is a REALLY easy diagnosis

hmmmm i should try and get this for 300$

[worn tinsel]

i saw a couple DDR5 32GB SODIMM sticks for £170 each, i might pick them up for my laptop

since i do a bunch of programming and actually use the ram

programming + simulations etc etc

[tidal geyser]

yea

[warm saddle]

What is the power usage and temps of 9800x3d? in gaming, and also in cinebench

[tidal geyser]

why you asking?

[warm saddle]

i want to buy it, but somewhere i can see that in cinebench its 60c at max, and someone says that its like 90c

then idk

[tidal geyser]

wat

[unique belfry]

Picked up a free pc case for a budget project (the budget is £30 or roughly $40)

[unique belfry]

Relying on free stuff and old stuff

[rigid fjord]

88w on average unless oc'd

[warm saddle]

and in cinebench?

or blender

something like that

[rigid fjord]

same power draw area, though you could google benchmarks

[warm saddle]

what do you mean by same power draw area? 88w isnt 150w

thats why i am so confused

[rigid fjord]

88w unless oc'd

9800x3d can be oc'd via pbo tuning

[warm saddle]

https://www.techpowerup.com/review/amd-ryzen-7-9800x3d/23.html

[rigid fjord]

https://www.techspot.com/review/2915-amd-ryzen-7-9800x3d/

150-154w is when pbo tuned

[solid quail]

Probably one of the more boring tech findings, but got this 4G broadband router for 15€

Took the sim from my tablet and now I finally got wifi in this apartment

[tidal geyser]

you took me from your tablet?

[rigid fjord]

downgraded to a modem

[warm saddle]

So when pbo is enabled, power usage is higher?

[rose sorrel]

Are Rechargeable Batteries we good ad reg ?

[tidal geyser]

wat

[tidal geyser]

well yea pbo is like unlucking the cpu to use as MUCH power as it can

[warm saddle]

Well, but mostly its doing the opposite

To lower power usage

[grizzled frost]

what

[empty quartz]

Mrrp

Its also touch screen friendly

[tidal geyser]

linux can be too even macos might become it

[mint umbra]

bruh when is the steam frame gunna be release date annouced I just wanna know when its coming out

I dont really care much about steam machine but want the frame and the controller

as steam machine prob gunna be expensive as hell cuz of ram prices

[tidal geyser]

steam frame is a disappointment

[mint umbra]

why

[tidal geyser]

black and white exterior cameras, ok res and panels but nothing a quest 3 cant offer tbh

[mint umbra]

I mean yeah the pass through be black and white aint great but do ppl really use that stuff that much

[tidal geyser]

eye tracking is nice tho

[tidal geyser]

i use it tons

major reason why XR glasses are a thing

[mint umbra]

I never really used the pass through on it

and the battery on it wasnt very good

[tidal geyser]

its a quest 3 with eye tracking

[fringe prairie]

doesnt psvr2 work on pc now?

[mint umbra]

from my experience

[tidal geyser]

has for a while but even tho its oled it sucks

i really wanted to get one but eehhhh

[fringe prairie]

$299 new in the states hmmmm

[tidal geyser]

quest 3 is going to be way better

[mint umbra]

the steam frame also looks more comfortable

but cant say since I havent worn my self

[tidal geyser]

yes steam frame does easily win on that fact

[mint umbra]

also id trade the passthrough so I dont have to use meta bs

what do ppl use the pass through mode for anyway

[tidal geyser]

i dono if i would part ways with like 3-4x more monies just for eye tracking and a different OS

[drowsy isle]

Yeah no oled or micro led paneld, I mean the ability to play your steam library flat screen or vr on the go is nice though

[mint umbra]

quest 3 is like 600 cad or something not exactly cheap either

[drowsy isle]

Price is a big factor here charging $800 to $1000 would kill it and it’d be better to just buythe quest 3

[tidal geyser]

the beyond 2E is what everyone dreams of

[tidal geyser]

steam frame is gonna be a lot more than that

i would imagine 1300-1500CAD+

[mint umbra]

I thought it would be like 1100

[haughty compass]

Looking back at my pc I built a few months ago, and I'm so glad I didn't wait until black Friday to build it (was planning to) . Would have gotten a much worse deal

[tidal geyser]

nuf ram to buy a house

also you make me sad with how good we had it

[haughty compass]

Fr

[mint umbra]

steam frame price will prob go up cuz of its ram as well huh

[tidal geyser]

looks like its gonn have 16GB

[mint umbra]

I really do want those steam conrollers

with the tmr sticks

looks nice

[drowsy isle]

$1100 usd? That would kill it

[mint umbra]

cad

im not american

why do ppl always assume usd

[drowsy isle]

$800 usd is not bad, still getting only an lcd headset

[mint umbra]

oled would just drive prices even higher

[candid bolt]

https://dk.pcpartpicker.com/list/FwKryW building a mini pc soon, anything looking off? btw, cpu cooler is the DeepCool LM240, but pcpp doesent have it

[left trellis]

2080 Ti for 150, do we cop

[mint umbra]

and honestly I dont think having oled is a big deal

[drowsy isle]

Big screen offers an oled headset and so does PlayStation for less

[mint umbra]

isnt big screen that headset thats like 1k+

[tidal geyser]

even used a OLED?

[mint umbra]

yes

[tidal geyser]

yup

[mint umbra]

I have a oled monitor

like sure its nice but I wouldnt want it even more expensive

[tidal geyser]

now turn off your lights and plant your face in the monitor and play a dark game

[mint umbra]

is there any headset with decent specs with oled that isnt expensive as shit

[tidal geyser]

no

also micro OLEDs is what you want

[mint umbra]

feel like oled just drives the prices up to high

[tidal geyser]

vr is in a place where if you do not want meta your fucked in pricing

[mint umbra]

would rather take a headset with lcd for a more reasonable price

[tidal geyser]

i forgot pico is a thing

[tidal geyser]

the issue i have is how high the price for the frame is rumored to be

[tired bear]

playstation vr2

[mint umbra]

lmao

[tired bear]

just get psvr2 and adapter

[mint umbra]

they said it would be cheaper than the index

[tired bear]

you also need base stations and controllers

[tidal geyser]

you are also gonna need to make some holes in your ceiling

[gritty panther]

Quest 3 is enough for me. not getting the valve headset

[tidal geyser]

from what iv seen from reviewers it sucks thus why i did not get it

[tidal geyser]

thought the the index was like 1500$ at one point

[tired bear]

it got better, few months ago people figured out how to do eye tracking

[tidal geyser]

wow

[mint umbra]

I thought it was like 1300

[gritty panther]

Quest 3 is like my 4th vr headset already. I mostly got Oculus/Meta

Quest 3 is actually one of my favorites out of all of them but I feel like no one really cares about VR but me lol

[mint umbra]

I sold my quest 3 cuz I was tired of the meta bs

[gritty panther]

I hope people like VR again with the new headset

[tired bear]

i hope we get another vr game from valve to acompany frame

[tidal geyser]

if vr support was easier on linux i would maybe use it more but tbh im just not as into it anymore

[gritty panther]

im ready for a AAA VR game that's not half-life alyx

VR has been dead for a while now. sad

[gritty panther]

Day 1 quest 3 owner. I mostly do PCVR stuff so I just got the base model

[fathom harbor]

had a vive pro but just didn't get enough use out of it since I didn't have a permanent place for it, the setup got too tedious so I just resold it, sorta hoping that the inside out on the steam frame is as good so I can actually use it more frequently tbh

[tired bear]

things to do in vr:
hl alyx
beatsaber
vrchat (plauged with kids and degenerates)

[mint umbra]

Think they are busy working on deadlock no?

[gritty panther]

Pavlov VR lol

google maps is fun with VR

[tidal geyser]

i need to see if the new joystick stick i spent so much money on works this time

[mint umbra]

since deadlock still in like alpha

[tidal geyser]

you know a company can work on more than one game?

[gritty panther]

ima hop on VR in a bit

[mint umbra]

well valve isnt that big of a company

[gritty panther]

I'll take a quick shower first

[tidal geyser]

damit almost 1am

[tired bear]

i played some tactical assault vr

[grizzled frost]

Blade and Sorcery too!

[tidal geyser]

looks to be closing in on 400 or maybe even more

[gritty panther]

my all time favorite = The Thrill of the FIght

Ive been boxing since I was 11 years old. I love boxing games in VR

[tidal geyser]

me go sleep now

[tired bear]

and bunch of "vr videos"

[grizzled frost]

we don't talk about those

[gritty panther]

my friend said VR Kanojo /j

[mint umbra]

but how many of those devs are working on games vs, working on hardwear like, steam machine ect

[tired bear]

"rollercoasters"

[gritty panther]

horror games are too scary

[grizzled frost]

VR phasmaphobia is fucking terrifying

[gritty panther]

I dont do horror games so I never tried them. even Haly life alyx was scary to me

Jeff chaper sucked bad

[grizzled frost]

half life alyx is quite the horror game in VR

[tidal geyser]

I would imagine tops 50-100 people on hardware

[gritty panther]

YES!

[tired bear]

i dont like horror stuff in general, let alone in fucking vr

[gritty panther]

i HATE YOU JEFF!

[fathom hatch]

i really want the vinyl for it but no money

[grizzled frost]

please don't remind me of my crippling vinyl addiction

[mint umbra]

plus theres ppl managing software on steam/ on the steam deck / working on counter strike

just feel like 300 isnt that big for how many things they have on their plate

[tidal geyser]

Too many cooks in the kitchen ruins the pie

[tired bear]

what about their tactical support division

[tidal geyser]

Funny thing, support is done by a 3rd party

[tired bear]

military industrial complex

[cerulean dawn]

Guys whenever i try to update my pc win10 it just cancels the update and says ”couldnt finish updating, changes are reverting” this is just a rough translation but u should understand

[tired bear]

[tidal geyser]

So what has been said to you

[cerulean dawn]

Wdym

[tidal geyser]

What cpu do you have?

[cerulean dawn]

7 7800x3d

[tidal geyser]

Install windows 11

[tired bear]

or 🐧

[cerulean dawn]

Sure but ever since i enrolled this pc in extra updates i cant see the win11 ad anymore

[grizzled frost]

he can't troubleshoot a windows update, you think linux is wise?

[craggy pagoda]

guys so i know rx9070 than rtx5070 is better for gaming performace fps wise, but what im unsure about is, do u guys think rx 9070 is a better gpu for longetivity and for the future or the rtx 5070, im planning on keeping the gpu for 5 yeasr before even thinking of upgrading again

[tired bear]

yes, maybe he wont figure out how to install discord so we will never know...

[craggy pagoda]

thanks in advance

[tidal geyser]

USB stick install windows 11

It's now 1am I ain't doing this

[mint umbra]

linux is scary

[tidal geyser]

Linux is skill issue

[gritty panther]

both are good gpu's. It really depends how much you're able to get them

[mint umbra]

ive thought about trying mutiple times

but looks hard

[tidal geyser]

Do it

[gritty panther]

I have nothing against a 5070 as long as it's on sale for $480 (mostly on microcenter)

[tidal geyser]

Looks hard, that's what she said

[gritty panther]

9070 at $550 is fine too

[cerulean dawn]

same, and thanks i should have some usb laying around ever since i built this pc

[tidal geyser]

And then got disappointed

[mint umbra]

windows feels like apple where linux is like android

[craggy pagoda]

theyre both only 30 dollars apart so idrc since its gonna e a pc im gonna ahve for a while, whats better to maintain me the highest amoujnt of fps for the longes time possible would u guys say?

[tidal geyser]

Well yeah android is based Linux

[gritty panther]

how much is the 5070 and 9070

[tired bear]

android is linux

[cerulean dawn]

but is w11 still ass?

[tidal geyser]

It's not been ass for like 2-3 years

[gritty panther]

Windows is windows. people that complain a lot are weird

[craggy pagoda]

£520 5070 and £550 9070, honestly price doesnt matter for me. i want longevitiy in performance in gaming im seeking maximum fps

[cerulean dawn]

sooo why should i switch?

[mint umbra]

define ass

[grizzled frost]

do you care about DLSS upscaling or frame gen

[cerulean dawn]

slower than w10
