I get 3 videos LOL

[frigid blade]

Steal one

[jaunty apex]

Literally block shorts using UBO Element picker or use freetube or smth

[warm anvil]

I might stop using libre wolf the cookie deleting so I can't sign in to websites really pisses me off

[ivory mountain]

so disable it

[warm anvil]

HOW

[tulip sparrow]

Pretty sure you can disable that in the settings

[jaunty apex]

You can enable cookies saving per website

[ebon marlin]

why the fuck is my phone named this??

[ivory mountain]

i forgot

[warm anvil]

Lmfao

[ocean axle]

Seems like a great phone name

[warm anvil]

Thank God

[ebon marlin]

I think it somehow thinks my girlfriends phone has somehow registrered as my main phone

for that google account

[jaunty apex]

Manage exceptions IMO is safer but up to you

[muted spindle]

what gpu should i get for like 350$

[ebon marlin]

even on a different browser no issues

[warm anvil]

why are all the shorts OS based

[jaunty apex]

Yeah this is why I stopped using YouTube website

Experience there is just so bad now

[ebon marlin]

even on the same browser no issues

[tulip sparrow]

https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/youtube-redux/mdgdgieddpndgjlmeblhjgljejejkikf

[warm anvil]

fire

why do yall got 4 per row and i have 3

[warm anvil]

this is unfair

[tulip sparrow]

I only get 3 per row on "modern" youtube

[warm anvil]

same

[warm anvil]

safe?

[tulip sparrow]

even tho my monitor is 2560x1440

[jaunty apex]

Ah yes /mdgdgieddpndgjlmeblhjgljejekikf

[real quiver]

i just want the frame and controller

[ebon marlin]

my monitor is 2560x1440 aswell

your guys OS just sucks balls

[warm anvil]

my monitor isnt fuck you

[jaunty apex]

Same

[tulip sparrow]

internal name of the extension LOL chrome-extension://mdgdgieddpndgjlmeblhjgljejejkikf/changelog.html#install

https://github.com/omnidevZero/YouTubeRedux

[jaunty apex]

I guess I haven't used chrome webstore in like 4 years atp

[warm anvil]

theres a firefox one too

[pure trellis]

Blue on black, what a good combo

[muted spindle]

what gpu should i get for like 350$

[jaunty apex]

Too much work to log into Google every time, just using exported subscription lists now

[warm anvil]

true

[pure trellis]

That was sarcasm

[warm anvil]

i think it looks fine 💔

[jaunty apex]

What's it gonna be, orange on black? I uninstalled an extension because of that, rather deal with light mode

[pure trellis]

Depends on your region and if you want it new

[warm anvil]

get 15 of these https://www.newegg.com/p/27N-0018-000H3?Item=9SIADFRJBB4765

[muted spindle]

poland and it can be used

[pure trellis]

Fancy 1gb version

[pure trellis]

Try to get 4070ti or 7900

[ivory mountain]

$350 4070ti

[warm anvil]

the fan on this looks like those wind fans people put in their gardens

[ivory mountain]

the moment this drops on linux im switching back

[pure trellis]

Drop what?

[ivory mountain]

playnite the video game manager i use

[tulip sparrow]

Playnite

It suppose to be coming to Linux I am pretty sure

[jaunty apex]

Hasn't playnite been Linux compatible?

[ivory mountain]

no

[pure trellis]

I guess, that's important

[warm anvil]

the fan on this looks like one of these

[jaunty apex]

Hm. I didn't like it much, but just assumed it was cross platform i suppose.

[tulip sparrow]

https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2025/11/playnite-may-get-a-linux-version-during-2026-as-the-creator-plans-a-move-to-linux/

[ivory mountain]

yes, should come out after version 11.0

[jaunty apex]

Didn't feel better than steam already did for me

[ivory mountain]

see well i dont pay for 90% of my games and adding them to steam isnt as good ngl

[pure trellis]

I don't get that fuss about it

[tulip sparrow]

I am just going to walk the other way

[jaunty apex]

And Bottles and Heroic does what steam usually doesn't for me

[warm anvil]

i bet you pirate linux

[ivory mountain]

yes bro linux is so expensive

[grizzled frost]

how tf do you pirate linux

[pure trellis]

Redhead products

[tulip sparrow]

Download a PAID FOR DISTRO for free

[jaunty apex]

You open qbittorrent and click the magnet link

[warm anvil]

yay -S activate linux

[ivory mountain]

sudo pacman -S activate-linux

[grizzled frost]

who tf pays for a linux distro

[tulip sparrow]

Zorin OS comes to mind

[jaunty apex]

Or was it utorrent I forget atp.

[grizzled frost]

utorrent is the big one iirc

[ivory mountain]

ahh yes the OS that claims thousands of dollars in savings but pre-bundles KDENlive and blender as part of its "premium creative suite"

[jaunty apex]

I just know one of the "big ones" started injecting ads or smth

[tulip sparrow]

Dont forget paying for extra DE Layouts

[warm anvil]

Is it pacman

I downloaded active Linux the other day

[ivory mountain]

ahh yes the amazing layouts that do absolutely nothing (the gnome third party layouts are better and free)

[jaunty apex]

pacman is default package manager for arch. yay is just an aur helper

[warm anvil]

Activate Linux is a real thing

It's on yay😭

[jaunty apex]

Which means it's in the aur

[tulip sparrow]

Which is why I am fine "pirating" Zorin OS Pro

[pure trellis]

Where is GPU driver?

[warm anvil]

Yeah

[warm anvil]

Dont even have a gpu

[jaunty apex]

I mean "pirating" ZorinOS pro is just installing packages onto base tbh

[warm anvil]

We all pirate templeOS

[jaunty apex]

Probably more configuration that goes into it but

Worth? Up to you

[pure trellis]

Templeos wasn't made as for sale software

[warm anvil]

yeah ik

wasnt the guy who made it schizophrenic

[pure trellis]

Technically, it's not piracy

[jaunty apex]

I'm an athiest, therefore I'm pirating it

https://tenor.com/view/horse-walking-horse-vent-horse-flip-off-horse-flips-off-and-leaves-horse-venting-among-us-gif-927766623487829115

[warm anvil]

true

[tulip sparrow]

NOT quite there is more to it then just that

[pure trellis]

Is that just docker?

[tulip sparrow]

You aren't getting the desktop layouts or Wallpaper items by doing that for example

[pure trellis]

This looks like donation with extra steps

[jaunty apex]

Literally yeah lol

[tulip sparrow]

https://github.com/NanashiTheNameless/Zorin-OS-Pro LOL

[jaunty apex]

Is Zorin connect a fork of KDE connect or

Yeah it literally is. Gross

THAT I don't like tbh

Feels like you are stuck in their ecosystem

[tulip sparrow]

Connect is in CORE so NOT a Pro feature

Zorin is Ubuntu(DEBIAN) based

[jaunty apex]

I know but it's literally renamed KDE connect

They do the same thing and look the same

[jaunty apex]

Also core users can totally contribute can they not?

[robust trail]

🤔 why would anyone use a distro forked from a distro that was forked from another distro

[jaunty apex]

Mint

[robust trail]

gross

[warm anvil]

Can we all agree rice is the best food

[tidal geyser]

i so badly love and hate zorin

[pure trellis]

Kinda

[jaunty apex]

I like what they are trying to do for sure, but I don't necessarily like they are putting their name on things and saying "I made this"

[robust trail]

maybe I'm just boring. I go to standard OS's rather than someone's hobby fork

[warm anvil]

It's healthy, it tastes good, theres multiple ways to cook it and you can eat it with anything

[ivory mountain]

not when a medium cooked steak exists

[jaunty apex]

But sushi

[warm anvil]

Never had

[warm anvil]

Never had

[jaunty apex]

How

[ivory mountain]

literally how

[warm anvil]

Ive never had sushi cause no one sells it where I live

[tidal geyser]

wat

do you live in a desert

[jaunty apex]

Nobody sells fresh raw fish, rice and vegetables?

[warm anvil]

Never had a medium rare steak cause my dad sucks at cooking and I can't afford an expensive restraunt

[tidal geyser]

i do not like steak

[robust trail]

grassdoggos

[warm anvil]

Rice and vegetables yes raw fish prolly not

[round forum]

well
I'm quite happy with these results

[jaunty apex]

Nice

[round forum]

repaired stuff I got for cheap because it was "broken", got to sharpen my soldering and repair skills and now I can enjoy a practically brand new controller

[jaunty apex]

Did this on top of testing TMR sticks for gulikit/AKNES so.. win/win/win/win/win for me ig?

[tidal geyser]

o dear lord the carnage

[warm anvil]

What is that

Or should I say was

[tidal geyser]

ask hanz

[jaunty apex]

Looks like a new one is broken too lol

[round forum]

nah
those were actually 2 controllers

[tidal geyser]

i see you took the destructive way of removing em

[jaunty apex]

Tried to preserve my pots so I have something for projects lol

[round forum]

I don't have a hot air soldering station and I keep failing at using solder wick

[jaunty apex]

Use lots of flux

[gritty panther]

my 3 Gamesir controllers. (HE and TMR sticks)

[jaunty apex]

I ended up fluxing my wick a bit

[pure trellis]

Bad combos with juicy fruit

[warm anvil]

Id eat that anyways icl

[warm anvil]

Damnnn

[round forum]

my wick is supposed to be fluxed
but eh

[tidal geyser]

anyone got badcaps premium?

[warm anvil]

Clean asf

[tidal geyser]

more flux never hurt nobody

[gritty panther]

thanks! they're 3dprinted organizers called gridfinity

[pure trellis]

Oh,there is premium version now

[tidal geyser]

has been for a long time

[warm anvil]

I see luffy

[tidal geyser]

if i wanna download a bios i need to pay

[warm anvil]

I'm rewatching one piece rn

[robust trail]

for a CMOS image to flash via a clamp?

[tidal geyser]

ofc

[jaunty apex]

Think my wick is fluxed too, not sure but still ended up adding more

[robust trail]

those people are jerks. They collect these files from people and then charge stupid amounts for it

[tidal geyser]

6 pounds a month aint a lot

[jaunty apex]

Wtf

[peak knot]

in any case
I'm in love with isopropyl alcohol

[tidal geyser]

how did you lose your industry affiliate tag?

[peak knot]

i requested it be removed

[tidal geyser]

nice

[gritty panther]

im a big one piece fan ❤️

[peak knot]

as i no longer work at SRGB

[gritty panther]

CHOPPA!!! (jp pronunciation lol)

[tidal geyser]

was it too much rgb for you

[jaunty apex]

.. What do you even do at a company like that

[peak knot]

no, personal things, but I am now a full time college student going for networking and IT using my VA benefits

[gritty panther]

I have everyone's wanted poster on my wall somehow. want to see it? lol

[warm anvil]

Yeah sure

[peak knot]

I was the guy that tested the software for bugs

[warm anvil]

I'm gonna buy more wanted posters soon too

[gritty panther]

they're 3D printed posters called Hueforge. I made them all

[tidal geyser]

o well i found a bios imagine on some random indian site that linked to a google drive so lets see how this goes

[warm anvil]

Wow your room is insane

[jaunty apex]

Fair. Just doesn't seem like it would be a very large team.

[peak knot]

but industry affiliate implies i still work for them so i asked to have it removed

[peak knot]

it is about 15 people

[gritty panther]

a lot of people probably dont like it. who cares it's my happy place/sanctuary lol

[jaunty apex]

More than I kinda expected tbh

[tidal geyser]

im not sure where i put my programmer

[ivory mountain]

that sounds cool
and usually I would buy that now
but I already bought a DMX light controller recently
so my budget for "useful/cool tech stuff" is already gone for this month

[ivory mountain]

yes i love TLOZ i rebeat majoras mask with the pc ship of harkinian recently

[gritty panther]

I 3D printed this recently. looks amazing

I'll keep it in mind tho
thank you

BOTW map

[ivory mountain]

holy shit

[warm anvil]

I need a 3d printer now icl😭

[ivory mountain]

me too

[gritty panther]

they're not very expensive too

check out the Anycubic Kobra X

[tidal geyser]

how big was the mountain of waste

[gritty panther]

it's like $279.99. can do fancy stuff $2000+ printers can't

[jaunty apex]

I need to reprint my chiral crystals with a finer nozzle

[warm anvil]

I would need to make the elden Ring map

[gritty panther]

this print doesnt have a lot of waste.

[warm anvil]

https://tenor.com/view/elden-ring-stormveil-stormveil-castle-castle-stormveil-keep-gif-25040936

[ivory mountain]

best game ive ever played

[gritty panther]

I printed a few more like De_dust 2, MIRAGE lol

[warm anvil]

Same I bought the dlc last week

[warm anvil]

Holy peak

[jaunty apex]

Damn that literally has 4 spool reels

For $300

[gritty panther]

it can actually do upto 19 colors

[warm anvil]

I've also beat every other from soft game other than ds1 and demon souls

[gritty panther]

the Kobra x. and can do multi material like 4 different TPU

even $2000 bambu lab printers can't do TPU

it's very new. 2026 tech lol

[jaunty apex]

That thing can handle TPU out of the box? It's direct drive?

[gritty panther]

if you want 3D printer with ZERO waste get this one

[gritty panther]

TRUE multimaterial it can do it

Kobra x is amazing.

Bambu lab's weakness is flexibles because of the AMS

Kobra X can do multi-tpu easy. Snapmaker U1 too

[jaunty apex]

Damn. I might have to get one someday.

[gritty panther]

Kobra X is very new. later you get it the better

[jaunty apex]

Was thinking of upgrading my Neptune 2s with direct drive but Idk

[gritty panther]

probably still ironing out the kinks the first few weeks/months

I think it was launched 3 days ago

[warm anvil]

Is egghead good

I was at the gear 5 reveal in wano then I took like a year break from one piece and now im rewatching

[warm anvil]

Since no new episodes are releasing now is a good time to catch up

[gritty panther]

they say it's not the best arc (people say it started strong but ended weak) I think it's fine. Im not much of a critic like most people that watch the show haha

[warm anvil]

What do u think about the new really over animated fights

I've seen a lot of controversy about it

[gritty panther]

yea some people don't like that it got too cartoony

I honestly loved it. cant please everyone

[warm anvil]

I'm fine with the cartoony stuff it's just it's hard to tell what happens sometimes with the fast pace fights

https://tenor.com/view/joy-boy-gear-5-joyboy-op1071-one-piece-1071-gif-12452291565397258218

[rigid fjord]

there is no such thing as zero waste with 3d printers, and you can do the multi-material with flashforge printers also, a couple creality printers

[pure trellis]

Lol, that's cheap

[robust trail]

what about supports?

[frail sequoia]

@warm anvil got the gaming package (i got prism myself)

[warm anvil]

Nice

[jaunty apex]

I mean you can make parts without waste, assuming your printer doesn't do an initial wipe or brim

[ivory mountain]

Apple Makes One Of Its Largest Ever Acquisitions, Buys The Israeli Machine Learning Firm, Q.ai

Not that many AI companies left there to buy, I guess

[jaunty apex]

Largest acquisition? The what?

[pure trellis]

Q.ai was secretive and had not publicly shared a product, but its website suggests it was working on something related to audio. The startup was led by CEO Aviad Maizels, who previously sold PrimeSense to Apple in 2013.

Oh,oh,oh

[jaunty apex]

Weird.

[pure trellis]

Deal is 2 billion,no word how made

[rose sorrel]

how off a price should i try to get for 2 hour drive buying used ?

[empty quartz]

Ngl, i might buy a smagsnug note 10+

[empty quartz]

Check gas prices

And use your average fuel economy to calculate how much it would cost to drive

[rose sorrel]

There around $2.85 ish

I wa thinking between $30-$50

[empty quartz]

Whats your average fuel economy in your vehicle

And whats the distance?

[rose sorrel]

What one ? Lol

The one take in distance like that 18 are family SUV that get 18 so $50 off is Good

[empty quartz]

18 mpg or 18l/100km?

[rose sorrel]

97 miles

18 mpg

[empty quartz]

Ah

[rose sorrel]

Most trips are an hour we take our suburban

[empty quartz]

Its around $15 usd for 5 gallons of fuel

[empty quartz]

So $30 usd total

[rose sorrel]

Yeah
2.85x 18 is $51 and some change so going to try to lot of stuff or $300

[empty quartz]

Wrong math

Take the distance, and divide by the economy

[rose sorrel]

It’s listed at $400 so $350

I get 5.3

[empty quartz]

Take the total, and multiply by the price of gas

$30.71 usd is the total

See if you can get $40 off

@rose sorrel

[rose sorrel]

I did he said came down $25 from $400 so I am going to wait

[empty quartz]

Whatcha buying btw? (If you dont mind me asking)

[rose sorrel]

rc car lot tryed my hardest i found some ebay lsiting of sold stuff is aroind $685 used on ebay new around $850

stuff is a month old so i am hoping the guy will still next Friday (payday) not tomorrow next one and can get it for less

So thinking of moving my gaming set up into a unused walk in closet did my research said it might get to hot so was thinking of running cords out of the room into my PC that would be set up right outside the room was wondering what HDMI length is safe before running into any problems

I have 2 kids second kid is taking my game room that is why im doing this

[frail sequoia]

You should be fine, I have my pc in a mostly enclosed spot and I hit 80°c with a dusty gpu

[frail sequoia]

But hdmi length, I would get longer than you need (I do reccomend display port over hdmi but it’s your choice) and hide the excess behind your screen inside the room

[raw swift]

@frail sequoia so I was thinking like a 6 foot cord if I can get that in display port would that be alright?

@frail sequoia maybe 10 feet ide have to measure to see what I truly need it's like just eye balling the room to see what I need I think it's between 6-10 foot ide need

[hallow jasper]

HDMI or DP, doesn't matter as long as its rated for the resolution, refresh and bit depth of the display.

6 feet isn't very long. I use a normal 10-foot Ultra High Speed HDMI cable for 4K120/10-bit without issue

[raw swift]

I have a 1440p monitor ide have to look at the complete specks

[hallow jasper]

whichever input can support the display's max res/refresh

[raw swift]

@hallow jasper ok bet I really really appreciate it

I just get a mixed bag when I google it

[hallow jasper]

Everything is in your monitors manual, no google needed

6 foot would be long enough if it’s right outside the room since that’s roughly 2metres iirc

[valid garden]

theyve backported things like steam and python

im sure its possible

Works for me lol

unlike u I use things native not disguised

Ok

I use native things too. I don't need to backport my apps

anyone know why I can't find any 300 series chipset motherboards for less than double the price that the CPUs for them are selling for? (I'm doing a 'build the best PC you can for under £50' challenge)

surely if the CPUs are abundant and cheap there should be motherboards to go with them

[hallow jasper]

where are you looking?

Ancient, out of production things obviously aren't available new so you have to look used.

motherboards that old like to die

assuming you're talking about B350/X370

yo my pc has weird hiccups where my discord sometimes runs at 60hz and then back to 240, usualy happens when starting other apps is this normal or somehting is fualty

already tried

its basiclly a circle in there atp

[dawn night]

ebay mainly

theres quite a few selling but they're like £60 each when the CPU is £10 lmao

found one with some slightly bent socket pins, might attempt what linus and alex did in that 'we got $500 motherboards for $50' video, my friend has a microscope and some tools

[raven spoke]

Not good…

[frigid blade]

maybe dont use all ur ram

[rigid fjord]

it always counts, considering any purge creates waste, and multi material systems creates multiple purges in the process

[jaunty apex]

tempted to just put my second TV on the floor on its side as a secondary monitor for my pc

[gritty panther]

come on bro lol

[rigid fjord]

you ever dealt with a multicolour print?

also not your bro

[gritty panther]

do you even know what a Snapmaker U1 is?

[tidal geyser]

memory leak?

[jaunty apex]

Unless its got multiple nozzles, its just gonna poop filament into a tray

[tidal geyser]

christ

[jaunty apex]

Or just manages to purge inside the infill if it exists, that could be a way to handle it but it would cause more stops

[rigid fjord]

simply put, a 3d printer than can do the same as any other 3d printer that with an ams does, and they're single nozzled

[rigid fjord]

nah, it'll do poops into a tray

[gritty panther]

I am so confused lol

what are you even trying to say

why are you arguing that a Snapmaker U1 still has filament waste when it's a 4-toolhead printer

[jaunty apex]

thats literally 4 nozzles

[gritty panther]

he doesnt know what a snapmaker U1 is

I asked him a yes or no question he won't answer it lol

so I guess no.

[rigid fjord]

still has to purge per nozzle

[gritty panther]

that's just a few grams vs. KILOGRAMS of waste

are you even serious right now.

hate talking to people like this. "hurr durr technicaly it still has a few grams of waste so not zero"

[rigid fjord]

your statement was that it had no waste

[gritty panther]

super annoying

[rigid fjord]

replacing the toolheads on this system is going to be a nightmare

[sturdy jay]

So my GPU bit the bullet the other night I had a EVGA RTX 3080, looking to upgrade whats everyones best recommendations? Im looking at a 4080 super currently

[gritty panther]

https://wiki.snapmaker.com/en/snapmaker_u1/troubleshooting/toolhead_replacement_guide I don't know about nightmare but it's not hard

I mean it's a nightmare if you can't read/too dumb to follow step by step instructions 😄

[tidal geyser]

how much would a 5070 ti be

[raven spoke]

Incorrect

I accidentally uhh hit spawn 550ai cars in beamng drive

And that happened

Now knowing that beamng drive can take up a lot of ram

[tidal geyser]

any program will when you do that

[clear canyon]

thats normal when yoy max your system resources and vram

Guy sim so close

to champion as bastion only

[gaunt spade]

anyone know why i cant open amd software i check task manager its there for a second and dissapears

it dosen appear onscreen anywhere

[steel umbra]

perplexity is just chatgpt with more confidence, even when you tell it it’s wrong it’ll tell you that it’s still right despite when i exactly provide information that contracts its

i asked it a question about stocks which one is better value and it listed an outdated p/e ratio when i asked that it should be around 0.3 p/e in 2025 (latest repost) it insisted it’s -131.4

[hallow jasper]

Supply and demand. Not a lot of something people can charge more. CPUs rarely die but motherboards, especially cheap ones die of old age all the time.

[gaunt spade]

i sold a 64gb kit for 160$ like a week before rammagedon

[main reef]

Should have scalped a year ago tbh

[gaunt spade]

i had 2 kits too

i sold one way befor

i was gonna buy a96gb kit or a 64gb kit again but this happened

[steel umbra]

obviously it gave in after explaining it has X assets, X liabilities and X marketcap

[gritty panther]

I always buy a lot of RAM

[gaunt spade]

i luckily had 65

[gritty panther]

I honestly dont see myself taking advantage and selling it anyway

[gaunt spade]

64gb ddr4 kit left

so im stuck on ddr4 for a while

i have a 32 gb ddr5 kit but its basic and also lots of ddr5 laptop ram

[steel umbra]

recent cpus aren’t impressive anyways

[tulip sparrow]

FACEPALMS HARD Yeah good luck with that Nintendo https://kotaku.com/tomodachi-life-living-the-dream-direct-image-sharing-screenshot-block-2000664167

[steel umbra]

zen4 and 13th gen were last desktop decent cpus

[gaunt spade]

i need x3d

[gritty panther]

I used to have 128gb DDR4. I gave the 64gb to my brother

Im planning to get it back lol. i'll just give him the 16gb kit I have here lol

when I gave him the 64gb kit, it was still cheap lol

[gaunt spade]

ram really fucked up pc flipping

[steel umbra]

they don’t realize it’s only going to harm their incoming fans

[gritty panther]

64gb is too much for him anyway. he only plays Shogun Total War

😆

[gaunt spade]

people dont wanna import in my country anymore i used to buy z690s for 80$ and b650s for 50$

[steel umbra]

like how tf are you supposted to know their games are good if they ban you from taking screenshots

you’ll have nobody sharing the game

oh yeah instead they’ll spend it on marketing

what a great way to reduce your profits

i don’t believe it’s real lol

even for nintendo it’s too far

[gaunt spade]

when is switch 2 getting modded

[tulip sparrow]

@gaunt spade no one knows

[gaunt spade]

only those who know

[tulip sparrow]

I have NOT heard of anyone working on it BUT that might be by design at this point aka they don't want Nintendo pounding on their door

[gritty panther]

I'm a day 1 switch 2 owner but I didn't pre order

I thought I didnt want it but realized I did and it was already launch day

checked my local Costco and they had in on stock. was able to get one without a pre-order

[calm estuary]

what should i upgrade next? im thinking gpu

[steel umbra]

nintendo is the next EA

[gaunt spade]

switch 2 should be 300$

[gritty panther]

not in this economy lol

but Switch 2 is cheaper in Japan.

[gray sierra]

SILENCE Earthlings

[calm estuary]

xbox one is same power and they cost like 200

[gaunt spade]

its japan only version tho

[gritty panther]

did you just compare an Xbox One to a Switch 2 lol

[steel umbra]

nukes the galaxy you live in

[gritty panther]

with current PC pricing, even the Switch 2 is an amazing deal

[calm estuary]

power level

[gritty panther]

PC gaming is toast.

[gaunt spade]

for 200 i hope ur getting a xbox one x atleast

[gritty panther]

you can't even buy RAM for $200

[gaunt spade]

aight bro that one was extra

[ivory mountain]

yeah u can

[gaunt spade]

u mean ddr5?

[gritty panther]

PC gaming isn't worth it right now

[ivory mountain]

https://tenor.com/view/anime-kanne-lawine-frieren-run-gif-3335160983066527267

[calm estuary]

where i am the switch 2 is 800 dollars

i can get a ps5 pro for the same price

[gritty panther]

lol!

[ivory mountain]

goldmine

[gritty panther]

move to a better country

[calm estuary]

ddr4 or 5

[valid garden]

I have 7th gen lol. I dont plan to upgrade any time soon

[calm estuary]

whats better than canada

[ivory mountain]

5

[gaunt spade]

nice

i got 64 of ddr4

[gritty panther]

only 64? /j

[valid garden]

nearly anywhere in europe

[ivory mountain]

https://tenor.com/view/ishowspeed-laugh-clap-gif-18203230752197306459

[gritty panther]

USA /jk. I didnt know you were talking about moose dollars

$800 moose dollars is like $100 USD /j

[calm estuary]

ps5 pro still cheaper

[gritty panther]

the canadian dollar exist to confuse me

[gaunt spade]

dont move to usa

[valid garden]

you people now-adays have too much RAM

[calm estuary]

well no abit more

but well worth the extra 200

[gritty panther]

I have them both 😄

[calm estuary]

well i work at walmart getting 15hrs a week so

i dont

[gritty panther]

btw. PS5 pro doesnt include a vertical stand

I was blown away. I had to 3D print one.

[gaunt spade]

is ps5 pro even worth it

[gritty panther]

dont get fooled with PS5 pro pricing. no vertical stand, no Bluray drive

[valid garden]

tbh im so happy I dont do heavy gaming shit it seems like a shithole to upgrade rn

[gritty panther]

with current PC pricing. yes

[gaunt spade]

thats where you live

for me not

[valid garden]

my specs will last me until they just cant keep up with the already minimal loads I do

[ivory mountain]

cant justify spending $700 on a console honestly

[gaunt spade]

what gpu does the ps5 pro compare to

[calm estuary]

i think a 4070

4060 ti?

around that

[ivory mountain]

yeah id say 4060ti

[gritty panther]

you got it right on the money

in between 4060 ti and 4070 afaik.

[calm estuary]

im smart yay

[gritty panther]

and it has an extra 2GB of ram. lol

[gaunt spade]

i can get a 5600/7900gre build for the same price as a ps5 pro used

[gritty panther]

im not very impressed tbh lol

[gaunt spade]

ps5 is digital

gotta pay $$$ for games plus online

[calm estuary]

yall is the 5080 okay with a 5950x?

[gaunt spade]

750 watt psu

is this fr?

[calm estuary]

is there an issue lol?

genuinely asking

does the 5950x run very hot or smth?

[gaunt spade]

https://giphy.com/gifs/kung-fu-panda-cooked-XQUVCPO6AY9TXsqWqu

[calm estuary]

what?

[gaunt spade]

what temps

[calm estuary]

idk cpu aint here yet

had a 3600

it went to max 40c under full load

[fringe prairie]

120mm aios are pretty ass

[calm estuary]

this one has been great

[gaunt spade]

for 3600

[fringe prairie]

a 5950x is going to run hotter than a 3600

[calm estuary]

yeah ik

but its not gonna be horrible

[fringe prairie]

also, odd cpu choice unless you need 16 cores for non-gaming stuff

[gaunt spade]

i think it is

ye a 5800x3d wouldve been better for gaming

[calm estuary]

well instead of judging why not give advice

[calm estuary]

300 cad vs 800 cad

[gaunt spade]

real

5700/5800x3d used to be 150-200$

now it costs more then a 7800x3d

it makes no sense

[calm estuary]

ill get a 360mm aio

damn thats not bad lol

[gaunt spade]

is that cad

[calm estuary]

yes

[fringe prairie]

canada land so
pa/ps120se or a620 pro se

for cpu look for a 5700x3d/5800x3d on ebay or aliex. if you’re only gaming and can’t get that then a 5600 or 5700x would be good

[calm estuary]

ive looked they are all 600 plus

the 5950x was 400 and i do 3d work so

id though it would be a better purchase

[gaunt spade]

yea 5950x good

why was there not a 5950x3d

prolly not enough 5950s

[calm estuary]

ordered the aio

thanks for the help

[gaunt spade]

damn already

[spare pewter]

Hey nerds does anyone know of a gen5 riser that's the same form factor as the one in the Lian Li A4-H2O?

been looking for a bit to try and find a replacement, the one the case comes with is gen4 and it's a custom form factor, the slot connector comes down at the same angle as the cable itself and then bends away from the board (ITX only) to wrap around to where the GPU is in the case, and then the GPU riser has the board mounting to the case with the slot coming off the board at a 90 degree angle to normal <.<

I doubt it exists but thought i'd ask

[tidal geyser]

gen 5 does nothing

[spare pewter]

it's a small performance difference now, the reason i want it is that the build is for my sister in another state, so it's a support consideration in case the bios every gets reset. She is competent enough to do her own tech support, but not informed enough to realize (or remember if i tell her now) that if she resets it, she has to go and set the slot back to gen4 so the GPU will boot into windows without a BSOD

[jaunty apex]

Damn. And I'm somewhat interested in that series. Guess I'll stick to the 3ds release

[spare pewter]

because that's what happens now, it either BSODs or fails to load drivers lol

[spare pewter]

2.8v on core?

[tidal geyser]

das ohm

[spare pewter]

oooh okay

eyes not so good

[tidal geyser]

i was told its normal from a big boy techspert

[spare pewter]

[spare pewter]

i do not know enough about board repair yet to say whether it's right or wrong, seems odd though

[tidal geyser]

it made me question what i know

[spare pewter]

likewise

[tidal geyser]

that side should be the main voltage rail for the cpu so like 1.2v or smn

[spare pewter]

yea+

[tidal geyser]

if it was 0ohs high chance it could be repaired as it should be a blown cap or smn

o well at least it came with 8GB of ram and a 512GB ssd

been flashing bioses all day as it looked like that issue

considering the laptop powered on and even the gpu turned on i think i might steal the mosfets from this and try putting em on a laptop im pretty sure is fine

just came with missing mosfets

2.3ohs, its dead

xd i never measured it

well i forgot to add the at anyways

Wonder why the cpu died

My setup is coming together. This is what it looks like with 30% of the stuff on order set up

chatgpt is still cooked 2/3 cannot follow intructions

i ask for a stock with lower or qual p/b, lower p/e, less dilution/more share buybacks and it lists stocks that only check one of the requirements

Hello chat, just a noob question here. My apartment recently replaced all modems with those new ones with in-built routers. So now it's kind of a centralized WiFi system with personal encrypted endpoints (WPA) in every apartment. Earlier it was individual.

Now my question is would I get caught if I use a VPN for torrenting over THIS new network system? ||(The country in question: 🇩🇪 BUNDESREPUBLIK DEUTSCHLAND 🇩🇪)||

[frigid blade]

what makes you think theyd care if you torrent

[calm estuary]

Are they good?

[lapis furnace]

I have heard of people getting fines of €500+ even after using VPN and shi

[lapis furnace]

🪑

[tulip sparrow]

far worse

[tired bear]

do you have wired network access or just wireless

[tired bear]

Deutschland cares

[sleek ibex]

Staples Hyken Chair my beloved

[keen helm]

i put bad apple on my framework macropad

(not linking my video bc self promo but heres a pic)

[lapis furnace]

Only wireless

This is what my modem looks like (modem+router 2-in-1 ahh box)

[ivory mountain]

very good

[tired bear]

it doesent have network ports on it?

[calm estuary]

Bet

[lavish spire]

My Ryzen 5 5600GT's box cooler came with pre-applied thermal paste, Should I keep this or wash away and apply Arctic Silver? (NAS build)

[ivory mountain]

just use the pre applied paste

[lapis furnace]

It does have (i use only wireless)

[split laurel]

Just got the phone this thing is amazing

[tired bear]

get one of these, and a vpn subscription
it will encrypt all traffic of the upstream devices

[lapis furnace]

€150 170 100 for these things? F my ahh

[lavish spire]

Secondly, I'm assuming I should remove the pre-mounted AM2/AM3+ cooler brackets, and I'm assuming I should use the same back-plate. Instructions not clear.

[tired bear]

i always replace it with mx6

issue with preapplied paste is that it hardens after few years and on pga sockets you can pull the whole cpu out when you eventualy want to remove the cooler

risking bending pins and damaging cpu

[halcyon fox]

This is what I'm living with until I'm out of college 😭

[sinful cobalt]

theres no need if its only for a nas

[raven spoke]

Not bad tho

I thought this was Intels killer gpu for gaming…

They freaking lied to me

[lavish spire]

I'm assuming the motherboard screws comes with the case. And if so, the case have a bunch of screws, I'm assuming these is for the mobo. Tho, should I use the red washers? If so, between spacer studs and mobo or between mobo and screw?

[raven spoke]

I have no idea

Oem dell Inspiron

Every single part is oem in it from factory

Even the thermal paste

[hallow jasper]

Never used a washer in my life for a motherboard. Assuming its a case from a well known manufacturer, read the manual.

If its got a good manual, there will be a diagram for all the accessories.

[lavish spire]

Jonsbo N3... 😄

[hallow jasper]

https://www.jonsbo.com/Upfiles/down/N3说明书.pdf

Washer (B) does not appear to be used

[raven spoke]

Anyone here an expert on hdd sounds?

[hallow jasper]

Thats not a thing

Are you going to describe the sound in text?

[raven spoke]

Video

[hallow jasper]

Scratch that, yes they are. Why they're used with the motherbaord? No idea, thats never been a thing. Weirdo chinese brands...

[lavish spire]

So, just skip them. They where in the same bag as the PSU/MB Screws. Tho, the screws irl does not match the look on that page. They do fit in the MB standoffs tho... And there is 10 of them 😄

[lavish spire]

Why would you do that? Doesn't that impede grounding?

[hallow jasper]

see the last few messages I posted. you could use them i suppose, it says to, but I've never once seen washers used for a motherboard

The motherboard is going to ground in many other places, notably the I/O panel

[hallow jasper]

could be bad. is the OS on it?

[raven spoke]

Yes

[hallow jasper]

regardless that system looks a little e-wast'y

[raven spoke]

I’m using the pc right now at this very moment

[raven spoke]

I would never throw this pc away ever

[hallow jasper]

ok. what does CrystalDiskInfo say?

[raven spoke]

Lemme pull it up

[lavish spire]

I'll skip the washers

[lavish spire]

Tho, I regret not buying a modular PSU 😄

[raven spoke]

Yeah modular psus are awesome

[raven spoke]

Is this bad?

[hallow jasper]

notice where it says "Good" in the top left lol

[raven spoke]

So not good?

[hallow jasper]

however, HDD's are weird. Could still have some physical defect that'll just kill it at some point and that might not be showing up in a SMART scan

[hallow jasper]

So, you know what "Good" means, right?

[raven spoke]

The hdd got like only 174 days of use on it

[hallow jasper]

Anyway.. i haven't touched a HDD in a personal system in over a decade

[raven spoke]

My thoughts is the hdds lubricant has worn out since it was not used from 2017-late 2024 and then used from that till late 2025

[south arrow]

https://tenor.com/view/funny-data-recovery-gif-11606438

[raven spoke]

And when I mean not used, I mean it was tucked away in the attic for years

Infact when I pulled it out of the attic it was running windows 10 1607

The hdd is very responsive, but only unusable for the first 3-5 minutes of windows boot

[gray sierra]

i mean its alright like

[frigid blade]

thats pretty normal for having hdd, for some time after boot its slow

especially on older systems

[raven spoke]

Yeah

It’s got a decent ish cpu in it

[ocean axle]

ehh, i dont much trust CDI saying "good"

the numbers matter a lot more

2k start/stop is a bit high, but not unusual, 4khrs is also pretty low

[hallow jasper]

tbh I gave up at that point

hdd's.. meh

don't think i've even touched one in a decade

[raven spoke]

I love my hdd

[ocean axle]

ive got a bunch in one of my servers

[raven spoke]

I’m just used to using a hdd tbh

[ocean axle]

have you tried an SSD?

[raven spoke]

I dailyed this pc until I built my gaming pc

[raven spoke]

I use a nvme

[ocean axle]

once i moved to SSD boot, can't go back

[raven spoke]

Gen 4 1tb also

[ocean axle]

HDD for bulk can be fine, but for boot always SSD

[hallow jasper]

The last server I had died about the last time I touched a HDD. Ole Dell Perc5i RAID5 was lost and I never built another. Now i would have nothing to put on one and its much easier

[hallow jasper]

not to mention modern OSes really hate being on HDD's

[raven spoke]

I like to keep the dell oem as possible except maybe soon want to put a i7 4790 in it and make a rtx 3050 not low profile

[raven spoke]

Windows 11 definitely

Hdd on 10 is usable still perfectly

[hallow jasper]

eh. world of difference even moving to a cheap SATA drive

[raven spoke]

Could probably stuff a rtx 3050 in here

Got a 300w oem psu in it

[hallow jasper]

my first SSD was an 80GB Intel X-25M back in like 09. Never booted on a HDD again but used one at work for much longer. Was awful

[ocean axle]

also, haswell is pretty trash now

that was mid-low when new, and its old now

[raven spoke]

Works fine for me still

[hallow jasper]

one might call it an antique 😛

[ocean axle]

if all you need is a web browser, sure

[raven spoke]

Not like imma do heavy gaming on it as I have a pc meant for gaming already

[raven spoke]

I’m just using it for school stuff really

[gray sierra]

guys

when will ddr6 come out

[molten sleet]

Just take some from ur gpu

[cold skiff]

Imagine being able to afford DDR6

[molten sleet]

Why is it so high quality

[hallow jasper]

2027+, likely even later. Too far out to even really speculate.

Especially given the volatility of the DRAM situation right now.

not worth thinking about

[gray sierra]

cool

[stable beacon]

wtf happened

[raven spoke]

Apparently it can handle some gaming still lighter game

[cold skiff]

The bigger question isn’t when ddr6 comes out but when it’s available to ordinary people

[raven spoke]

Bro got the green screen of death

[stable beacon]

i turned it back on and i'm not getting anything

[cold skiff]

I have a sneaky suspicion 100% of ddr6 supply will be tied up in the circle jerk of AI on release

[steel umbra]

sounds like hardware issue

[raven spoke]

Bad gpu?

[steel umbra]

instability

[hallow jasper]

don't guess, troubleshoot

[steel umbra]

could be ram, cpu, gpu or even ssd

[stable beacon]

it turned on the second i touched the power button 💀

[steel umbra]

or motherboard

[steel umbra]

when did that happen

[gray sierra]

[stable beacon]

like a few seconds ago

[steel umbra]

what were you doing on the pc

[split laurel]

Are those dead pixels on my 3 hour old zfold 7?

[stable beacon]

cs2 it took a minute but it posted

[grizzled frost]

appears to be

[steel umbra]

yeah i suspect hardware instability

[stable beacon]

taking a century to start up though

[split laurel]

💀 well good thing I have insurance

[steel umbra]

any overclocking?

[stable beacon]

might be gpu but cpu is on stock turbo

[silver estuary]

how many fans do i need for a build with a 9800x3d and 9070xt?

[raven spoke]

Gpu or ram could be doing jt

[grizzled frost]

at least 1

[stable beacon]

hmm

[raven spoke]

Maybe ram bc I don’t think a dying gpu makes those sounds

[cold skiff]

Windows update strikes again!

[silver estuary]

i’ve got two case fans and a peerless assassin but i’m not sure if that’s enough and balances intake exhaust

[steel umbra]

it can be anything really

[raven spoke]

Why 9070xt when intel has a killer gpu

[grizzled frost]

are the CPU or GPU thermal throttling

[raven spoke]

Intel hd 4600 is super op

Jk

[stable beacon]

thing here acting like a hdd

[silver estuary]

haven’t built yet, just wondering if i need to buy more

[grizzled frost]

i have exactly zero case fans in my build with a 7800x3d and 4080S FE, it entirely depends on your case

[silver estuary]

fractal north, have a total of 2 case fans + peerless rn, is that enough?

[keen folio]

Can’t even update windows without my cat getting in the way lol

[gritty panther]

crazy but those are very efficient parts

can I see a picture of your setup. intrigued

[cold skiff]

He’s got it in something tiny

[gritty panther]

for sure

[ocean axle]

my brother's computer with a 5090 and a 7800x3d also has no case fans

[cold skiff]

Think velka 7 size tiny, not Velka 3 size tiny though

[gritty panther]

my server also doesnt have case fans. just the cpu cooler and PSU fan lol

[silver estuary]

i also don’t have an aio though, got an air cooler

[ocean axle]

all air cooled

[gritty panther]

cool ass build

[silver estuary]

so how is that not burning up

[ocean axle]

fractal ridge

[cold skiff]

That troll. No case fans. Has fans for his radiator

[silver estuary]

ah

[grizzled frost]

technically not case fans

also even with an air cooler on the CPU, the case fans do very little to begin with

[raven spoke]

My pc, I built, cable management is crap

[silver estuary]

so i do just want to confirm then, with the fractal north, two case fans and an air cooler i’m all good?

[ocean axle]

CPU intakes directly from teh side, same as the PSU, and the GPU goes in one side and out the other

[cold skiff]

Has open air sides too

[gritty panther]

fix it. it's weird lol

[ocean axle]

have you considered putting the EPS cable through the EPS cable hole?

[stable beacon]

idk

[grizzled frost]

3 intake on the front and 1 exhaust in the back and you're good

you can do another exhaust in the back top if you really want

[cold skiff]

Air coolers proper fuck with air flow. Realised this myself using an AIO recently. The dust change is insane

[grizzled frost]

be like 1u's, don't run fans on your CPU cooler, problem solved

don't mind me fucking with my loose keycap

[silver estuary]

so i do need to purchase more?

[stable beacon]

i restarted it, pist gives me greenlight but nothing on screen again

[cold skiff]

Everyone needs 12 fans

[grizzled frost]

Have to, no, want to, potentially

[ocean axle]

also 2us, and 4us

[grizzled frost]

what about 3 and 5 u's?

the poor black sheeps of the server world

[cold skiff]

Got an iGPU you can use?

[ocean axle]

no, i run the stock fans in my meshify 2 compact, w/ a 7900xtx and 7800x3d

its fine

the stock fans are 2x140mm

[cold skiff]

To be fair the stock fans on fractal cases are fine

[ocean axle]

it wont fit more than two 140mm fans, you can do 3x120mm, but both are fine

[cold skiff]

Not as high rpm as most but more than fine

[raven spoke]

If it’s works it works

I’m not touching it for now

[cold skiff]

I kept one on the rear of my pop air tbh.

[raven spoke]

Also my psu intakes from my case💀

[ocean axle]

but why?

[raven spoke]

I messed that step up💀

How often does your psu spin up?

[ocean axle]

they're good enough that i haven't bothered to switch them on my gaming machine

[raven spoke]

Idk but I got set to spin the fan once it reaches it set temp

[ocean axle]

i have noctua and bequiet fans, i wouldn't even be buying new fans

i just CBA to switch them

[cold skiff]

Tbh they’re pretty quiet too

[ocean axle]

and if i do, id probably use my superflower fans, those things are nuts

[cold skiff]

I only switched mine out to put 2 x 140mm in the front

[ocean axle]

Superflower MEGACOOL 120x30, 3300RPM, 150CFM

[cold skiff]

Louder than a jet engine

[stable beacon]

no but it's not the gpu EVERYTHING is slow but the graphics display just fine

[ocean axle]

48dBA according to superflower

they aren't quiet by any means, but they can move themselves if not screwed to something

[stable beacon]

i'm just stuck like this for too long

[cold skiff]

Intel cpu?

[stable beacon]

amd

[cold skiff]

Fresh windows install it is

[stable beacon]

the kayboard lights up right when it's almost done so

[cold skiff]

Sounds like it got borked

[stable beacon]

i did that 2 weeks ago

plus it's taking a while to get into bios settings it's NOT that

[lavish spire]

Is it ok to split SysFan into 4 fans with y-splitters?

[cold skiff]

Well. If it’s taking forever to POST you normally have something dying

Try 1 ram dimm at a time

Normally it’s windows that breaks in my experience or it just doesn’t post. But if it’s slow af, that sounds like it could be bad memory taking a long time to train

Or worse yet, a dying IMC on the CPU

Actually… a dying imc is probably way cheaper to replace a cpu than ram these days

[warm anvil]

How much storage y'all think it takes to have every popular OS and Linux distro on one pc

[junior merlin]

Like 40GB?

[cold skiff]

Define every popular OS

[warm anvil]

Maybe

[stable beacon]

i was thinking of getting more cores for my editing currently it seems to take up 5 cores when i do any random action like zooming in

[warm anvil]

An distro an average Linux user has heard of

And windows and macOS

Not every windows tho

[cold skiff]

Well Linux makes up 4% of OS share

[stable beacon]

i'm stuck on am4 though 💀

[cold skiff]

I’d not say any Linux OS was popular based on OS market share

[junior merlin]

And 2% of that is the Steam Deck lol

Absolutely nothing loads even less so in the app then a shadow ban account but it says I'm logged in when I open it and my VPN is off and the account was normal before the last post then I come back and I have to weird password reset and what not to log in and then it loads like this, people are even replying to my last post (I get the emails) what happened to my only working reddit account and what do I do about it? I'm so so worried as all other reddit accounts I have made have shadow banned on first use so help, I'm scared by by reddit and I really have a real LOVE AND HATE relationship with it I need it.

TLDR its like it fails to fully load when logging in with the app and its different from a shadow ban (have a few old accounts linked that are to the email as well so can not login with email link plus reddit told me rate limited on that) so do I need to panic or is it just down?

Can anyone help me find out if I needa panic?

[cold skiff]

So 40GB probably about right.. as that’s around windows size

Now if you exclude windows you’re probably looking at Ubuntu, Debian and red hat enterprise…

[stable beacon]

i heard there might be hdd seizing but after my hdd crashed it doesn't really exist anymore and i backed everything up from it, i just got too lazy to do anything about it

[cold skiff]

Possibly even chromeos in that mix

So you won’t need a lot of space to install them

[thin moat]

I have issue with my dell precision 5550 though on my laptop when I try to run 4K HDR avatar YouTube videos on chrome it seems to be a little stuttering and laggy @pine merlin

[stable beacon]

iirc cs2 might've crashed my pc before i was playing just now and it might've happened with minecraft too

my pc is allergic to gaming i guess

[cold skiff]

CPU bound and heavier games

That leads to a suggested CPU problem

[flat cliff]

I need help

[cold skiff]

#1027757333117415424

I read what you wrote and it makes no sense btw

[flat cliff]

TLDR TLDR, please tell me reddit down?

[tired bear]

this is not hdd, you have wrong drive selected

[cold skiff]

Idk. I don’t care about reddit

[stable beacon]

not on there i have 4 ssds in use

[flat cliff]

Long story short made a reddit post, picked up dinner and my account is down and I use reddit weekly I don't know how I live without it now. It let me log in after logging me out and resetting the password but NOTHING loads I can't go to my profile I can't anything even to log out out or into another account. Its as if you pressed load on a website but then stopped loading early but I can brows just fine? Doesn't even load as much as when your shadow banned it's not like that? Didn't say suspended either.

So like idk what is going on? I'm just hoping reddit be down?

[stable beacon]

it doesnt show up after it crashed and i never used it afterward but it was still connected physically

[cold skiff]

Are you that addicted to Reddit?

[flat cliff]

Yes and no sometimes I don't use it weekly (sometimes I do but not most the time but when I do use it its in burst of daily) but the tech advice on phone subreddits, roleplay subreddits, advice subreddits (yes even those) seem to be better then on discord or what I can find from google searches and yeah I don't know where else to go...

[near crag]

does anyone know of any AM5 mATX boards that actually support USB4 with DP-in? I was so close with the gigabyte x870m but turns out that board uses the iGPU to drive the USB4 ports on the back which is a non starter for me 🙁

next best option i found was the ASUS Pro WS B850M-ACE SE with an USB4 add-in card but i really dont want to give up that PCIe slot

[flat cliff]

May I ask why that's a non starter?

Do you just need it for display out?

[near crag]

yea I use USB4 to drive a caldigit thunderbolt dock for peripheral + display out

i have kinda a dumb linus-esque setup where my pc is on one side of the room and my desk is on the other side, so i use a corning optical thunderbolt cable

[tired bear]

same but pc is much closer so normal-ish 3 meter cables work for me

[stable beacon]

i reseated all the ram sticks and tested just a1 before, and now i have a ram error 💀

[cold skiff]

I don’t think there’s any mATX boards. That’s a top tier feature

[cold skiff]

We have come further!

[tired bear]

afaik you will loose a bit of performnce if you just use Igpu to drive it but it will be fine

[cold skiff]

So does the 1 dimm solution make boot up faster?

Or both broke?

[stable beacon]

i also cleared cmos and unplugged the hdd

[stable beacon]

i got the ram error from using 1 stick it seems i think it's because i set my power button to hibernate and i accidentally clicked that

[junior merlin]

The only board to buy is E-ATX

[near crag]

yea i dont want to give up the performance but i guess i can live with it? 9950x3d + 5090FE

currently in an all ProArt build but I'm redoing it to be in an SFF case and i use too many bleeding edge features to make it work cleanly

[cold skiff]

What’s the cpu?

[tired bear]

wait i wonder if something cursed can be made
using psvr2 adapter and instead of plugging in the headset you plug in this dock you have

[near crag]

you want to see cursed???

[tired bear]

my bill of materials for the proposed rig

take note of this section at the bottom for the PCIe card

for storage

[tired bear]

ono

[near crag]

MCIO to SlimSAS -> SlimSAS to PCIe slot

[tired bear]

but why

[near crag]

zip tie the KONYEAD adapter card and pcie slot somewhere in the case

bought the card already

[sleek ibex]

[near crag]

works a fuckin treat

[tired bear]

does the motherboard have native mcio?

[stable beacon]

5600x

[near crag]

lets me run all 4 m.2 drives without PCIe bifurcation

[near crag]

yup the asus WS board does

[tired bear]

interesting

[stable beacon]

i can technically steal parts from my sisters pc she has a b550 board amd 5800x

[tired bear]

but really these adapters could prove real usefull in situations such as yours

[near crag]

........ interesting

[sinful cobalt]

welcome

[cold skiff]

I’m leaning towards bad IMC. As you’ve go an air cooler you’re not throttling with temps on startup. Normally ram malfunctioning pulls up BSODs. System shut down under cpu load suggests a CPU issue. Loading at the speed of snails suggests cpu damage or throttling. Test each ram dimm. If no issues boot again when you can. Check temps. Run a heavy cpu game like Minecraft. Watch how it crashes. If temps fine, new cpu time.

[near crag]

luckily i've got all the parts except for the board and the case which, for now, aren't the bits impacted by the AI craze

i priced out the build before/after

its hilarious lmao

[cold skiff]

Test with her cpu. I think that’s gonna resolve it

[sinful cobalt]

What case ya getting?

[stable beacon]

it posted with one on a2 but i have the original problem

[near crag]

MCPRUE Apollo S

[stable beacon]

its being slow as hell i removed all other ssds

[cold skiff]

Yeah sounds like bad imc. Boot th 5800x in system to confirm

[sinful cobalt]

I see, the macncheese grater

peep this for deets

[stable beacon]

its just booting realllly slow

[cold skiff]

I could be wrong but it does seem like a dead cpu

Well dying
