tech-chat-1

[azure topaz]

i can fix it if i really care

[glacial cliff]

and the quote will contain language that the 5800x and 3080ti are no longer avaialble from their suppliers, and why they were replaced

[left trellis]

how

[azure topaz]

yeah

[topaz copper]

I got 80% of my replacement Cost esssentially when I replaced my stereo

So like 17k

[azure topaz]

a soldering iron?

[glacial cliff]

if insurance doesnt liek the quote and wants me to part it out this is my part it out repalcement

[sleek ibex]

I've been on this hobby for too long

[left trellis]

I she

[azure topaz]

the cap is still there i didnt break the pads or anything

just one half is disconnected

the cpu is in a clamshell like i showed so i wont lose it

[gaunt spade]

please buy a 5090 if its in the insurance budget or however it works if its 5k ofcoirse

[azure topaz]

i dont have any spare z790 rn anyways so whatever

[glacial cliff]

sfx is for my eventual plans. i already have the mora, wanna go sff with mora cooling

[azure topaz]

265K stock cpu clocks
DDR5-9000 C36 idk 1.65v or something

[glacial cliff]

no 5090 is cuz i have a 3080ti rn and a 5080 is easier to jsutify to ebancoutners as modern in-productio nrepalcement for the out of production 3080ti

[left trellis]

How much was the ram

[glacial cliff]

i mean if i can swing it, but they might question it.

[gaunt spade]

got it

[left trellis]

and whats the rams advertised speed

[azure topaz]

too expensive but do you want the sauce before or after i tell you the price

[glacial cliff]

hdd is because the pc its replacing had an hdd, windows license because fuck the insurance they can pay retail for windows for me fkers

[topaz copper]

You almost want to quote higher because that way when they only pay a percentage of replacement you’re still ahead

[left trellis]

ttm

[glacial cliff]

mine pays ful lrepalcement cost

[topaz copper]

Like I had a $20,000 power amplifier the replacement cost was like 36 so yeah

[glacial cliff]

problem is not all my gear is repalceable 1:1 today, as the items are out of production

[sleek ibex]

Which Mora do you have?

[azure topaz]

i paid 240$ for it in late oct, its a 32GB DDR5-8000 C38 kit (aka not really that good)

however.

rating doesnt matter, and the chips on the ram themselves do

[glacial cliff]

so i have to replace with a newer "equivalent" (not equivalent performance, equivalent to a non-tech-head beancounter)

[azure topaz]

before i broke one of my last dimms it was DDR5-7000 C36 kit doing 9000 as well (same settings)

[glacial cliff]

mora 3 400 iirc

[left trellis]

damn

[azure topaz]

furthering that

[tidal geyser]

Compute ring

[azure topaz]

i had 2 oem sticks of DDR5 rated for 4800, those same dimms do 8600+

[mint umbra]

thinking of selling my oled for that new asus oled with rgb strip

1440p

[sleek ibex]

3 so the 420? I have that too

[azure topaz]

the little black thing here with the labeling on it is the ram chip itself

[glacial cliff]

ye that 1`

[left trellis]

oh I had a question

[sleek ibex]

Hell yeah!

[left trellis]

since ddr4 has lower timings, would a ddr4 kit at 4800 be better than ddr5 at 4800?

[azure topaz]

each ram chip will behave differently ultimately disregarding bin

[glacial cliff]

i just bought the new mora power cable thign for the mora 4 like a month ago

[azure topaz]

that green stick right there is DDR4-2666 but does DDR4-5100

[glacial cliff]

id been working on my own custom long distance power cable to do the same end goal previously

[mint umbra]

https://rog.asus.com/ca-en/monitors/27-to-31-5-inches/rog-strix-oled-xg27aqdmg/spec/ was think of buying this after selling my AW3225QF monitor

[glacial cliff]

then they come out and make my life easier like that

[azure topaz]

because of the specific ram chips that are on it

[azure topaz]

ususally no

[left trellis]

tragic

[azure topaz]

if we're comparing apples to apples as well as we can, no

[mint umbra]

I really dont like my monitor as the blacks arent really black cuz of qd-oled becomes purple instead of black

when room is bright

[sleek ibex]

I'll be getting the A20 adapter for fine since it makes cabling a lot less of a headache. And the A20-HS was designed with the MORA in mind which is neat

[tidal geyser]

Get a tandem OLED

[topaz copper]

I’m not sure what the resale market is for an old lid but if you’re gonna do it, you really wanna do it before the new ones come out in droves

[left trellis]

oh also for your 13900K and KS did you have any voltage caps or what was the constant voltage

[azure topaz]

that ram chip is specifically called 8gbit micron rev.e, a good DDR4 ic, the meta for DDR5 currently is H16A (hynix, 16gbit, a die), H16M, and H24M

[azure topaz]

5.9/4.5 for daily took 1.36v

[mint umbra]

woled better for my needs than qd-oled

[left trellis]

also where do you learn ts dawg

[azure topaz]

ive been overclocking for 7 years

[mint umbra]

will be going back down to 1440p as well with this purchase

[azure topaz]

im not even good at it

[left trellis]

are you ancient 😭

[azure topaz]

no im 19

[sleek ibex]

[grizzled frost]

started off early

[left trellis]

bros about to croakkkk

19 old asl

[grizzled frost]

how old are you…?

[sleek ibex]

I've been Watercooling before some folks here have been alive

[left trellis]

18

[sleek ibex]

[left trellis]

[azure topaz]

yeah

[azure topaz]

but as of like the resources i used?

[left trellis]

yeah

[mint umbra]

mfs really had pcs when they were like 12

shit I was lucky to even have a phone at that age

[azure topaz]

youtube, the various forums like overclock net and techpowerup
actually hard core overclocking (aka buildzoid my memory oc goat)
and cpu oc i learned by myself

[left trellis]

I see ty

[azure topaz]

mutuals i have acquired throughout my time

people in the hwbot server are very helpful

doing hwbot in general is very helpful

gpus are also really easy to oc so i dont really gotta share info unless you want to get into modding and even then im not the right person

[left trellis]

I tried it on my 4070 TI S and 7900XTX idrk how deep it gets tho

[azure topaz]

without modifications to the card in some way, not very

GPU oc to me is the most boring form of oc, especially since a lot of titles nowadays are cpu limited without X3D

i used to do a lot of gpu oc and im pretty competent with older gens like polaris (RX 400/500)

[mint umbra]

any time I try to undevolt my gpu or anything it just crashes

[azure topaz]

im still like top 10 with an RX 570 in time spy

[left trellis]

god damn

[mint umbra]

so I just leave my xtx at stock settings

[azure topaz]

my 3080 is still top 18 but that was with hardware mods

[left trellis]

wyd?

[azure topaz]

the 570 i could revert everything i did if i wanted

[glacial cliff]

a20 adapter? links? got me curious. i'd not seen other remote rad power solutions before

[azure topaz]

power limit unlock+ good pads+ ptm

[glacial cliff]

OH you mean the new thing they came out with for the mora 4 line

[azure topaz]

card was drawing ~650w

[glacial cliff]

yes. i got that a few weeks ago

[topaz copper]

I like Tinkering but OC never drew me in

[azure topaz]

nice for air cooling wont lie

[sleek ibex]

Country?

[limpid dune]

A20 gate mentioned 🔥

wait no nvm A20 gate not mentioned 😔

[sleek ibex]

Ah the chat went too fast and saw you have it NVM

[azure topaz]

first ever hard mod to a card if i were to do things differently i would buy a different model of Rtx 3080

those stupid flat power connectors are impossible to not melt really

card still works even to this day but damn it was scary and aggravating

this one was by far the hardest one

[ivory mountain]

maybe if you were better at overclocking it wouldnt break

just saying

[azure topaz]

unironically completely unrelated

was taking it out of my computer and it fell out of the slot in a way so perfect it knocked a cap off

[steel umbra]

i borked a 7600

with voltz

[azure topaz]

not cool

[ivory mountain]

thats not good

[azure topaz]

the stick technically still works and i still have it so maybe ill try to fix it

[ivory mountain]

aint that the hitman 3 mission in the car-something mountains

[azure topaz]

doesnt post tho

[glacial cliff]

nah it took me a second ik what you mean i forgot the model number for it is all. i have it too

[steel umbra]

i degraded a 7600 by 50mhz and it behaved strangely, occasionally gave errors even at stock

borked ahaha

[azure topaz]

the 5700G im typing on rn is defective from factory in some way

it doesnt like cstates/changing frequencies really

its fine at any freq it just cant change

[steel umbra]

it happened when i was juicing 1.35-1.4v

[empty quartz]

No

https://shop.watercool.de/MO-RA-IV-Passive-Control-200-400_1 this guy right?

OHHHH YOU MEAN THE FANS

[sleek ibex]

Ah the IV line has the A20/200mm fan adapter included /integrated

And has the fan splitters installed. Holy shit that is worth the upgrade over the Mora 3 line alone

[raven scroll]

Hello people

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/cats-urik3852-gif-10932761478676456492

[bold olive]

better than being bricked

[fickle ivy]

Does anyone here know a lot about lenses?

[fringe solstice]

I bought some case fans, then changed my mind and went with RGB ones instead. Any ideas on what I can do with the extra fans now?

[fickle ivy]

I have an 18-55mm right now and am buying a 70-300mm but I don't want to have to swap them out, would 70mm still be able to keep this fully in frame (taken at 55mm)?

[teal sinew]

[fringe solstice]

What are you going to use those lenses for?

[cosmic idol]

lol so random but my ex partner's name is Parker and he was really into the brain, psychology and neuroscience too 😭

[fringe solstice]

Bro 💀

[cosmic idol]

the name haunts me istg

[cosmic idol]

gorgeous 787-10

[pulsar root]

If 9800x3d the best cpu for gaming, what’s the best for 3d modeling and CAD?

[fickle ivy]

[compact fulcrum]

hey guys.
my pc had ran into trouble recently and i dont know what is costing this issues.
im trying to chill and watch youtube but its constantly showing my wallpaper instead of the video. same goes to when im using window media player.

[left trellis]

Consumer wise 9950x/285k

Cad is mostly single threaded so the crazy server cpus wont help much

[pulsar root]

My school computers actually use i9-14900 lol

[left trellis]

where the hell are you attending 😭

but yeah that also has good single thread capabilities w good core count

[pulsar root]

They have 32gb ram but it’s at 4800 MHz

It’s funny how the monitor is like a 1080p 60hz and the mouse keyboard is like $10

[clear canyon]

thats slow ddr5

[clear canyon]

its prob a dell kit

[pulsar root]

Oh I thought the 14900 was a ddr4 thing

[clear canyon]

no

[pulsar root]

Yea it said dell

[clear canyon]

yeah

[topaz copper]

Schools are usually Dell or HP

[clear canyon]

12th gen boards (same socket) uses ddr4 and 5 since that was the transition period

12-14th gen is lga1700

[frigid blade]

didnt they all use 4 or 5

[clear canyon]

12th gen was common for that but after than it became more common for 13th and 14th gen to use ddr5, but yes they can use ddr4 aswell

[hollow grail]

Imagine nvidia made a good value 40-tier gpu, such as for 200 dollars like rtx 7040

[warm anvil]

Ello

[tropic surge]

is this enough fps for a game?

[ivory mountain]

freaky ass pfp

[fringe solstice]

How would you score it?

[tropic surge]

10/10

[azure topaz]

missing something

[topaz copper]

5.5

[fringe solstice]

A GPU 🤣

[tropic surge]

im jealous

let me take a picture of mine

[fringe solstice]

Why bro?

[fringe solstice]

Thanks, do you have a PC?

[tropic surge]

yea

[topaz copper]

Well assuming 10 is something special

5 is middle of the road
It’s fine and inoffensive but there’s no Wow Factor anything special

And cable management isn’t stellar

[tropic surge]

i have a motorola so my camera quality is ass

[topaz copper]

Not bad for a Motorola tbh

[fringe solstice]

What could I do better ?

[fringe solstice]

Wow, that's a sick PC !!!! 11/10

[tropic surge]

yours look better than mine

[fringe solstice]

That's good enough 🤣

[molten sleet]

what cpu

[fringe solstice]

Why?

[tropic surge]

Amd ryzen 7 9700x

[fringe solstice]

Yours at least have a GPU, I'm still using my iGPU 🤣

[topaz copper]

Run the 24pin behind the board
Get White Extensions if going for that Colorway

There is nothing wrong with it

Just giving a 10 isn’t valid as to me a 10 is a crazy hard line build or something

[molten sleet]

didn't even see that lmao the pretty lights really distracted me

[topaz copper]

I wound only give mine a 5 or a 6 as it’s basic

[fringe solstice]

I'll probably get those cables, but I don't have more space anymore to pass those cables somewhere else

[fringe solstice]

That's fair enough

[topaz copper]

I’ll take a photo of mine

[fringe solstice]

RGB gives me more fps than a discrete graphics card would

[topaz copper]

@fringe solstice

I don’t really like lights

[fringe solstice]

Bro, that looks so beautiful.

[fringe solstice]

I also personally don't like lights also, I was always focused into having more performance over design. But recently I kinda changed my mind.

[topaz copper]

I need to clean the Glass
I need to get the Ram Lights off
Wish it didnt require Software to do it

[topaz copper]

It does the Job

I dont really game so its more than enough power for now

[molten sleet]

everything is addressable these days i just think it's nice to have options

like if you want a descrete build at night or smth you can turn the lights off

[topaz copper]

OPENRGB hates my board It Kernel Panics

[molten sleet]

many such cases

[fringe solstice]

Well, if it is already good for you then that's completely fine. For me personally right now I'm 100% okay having an iGPU.

[topaz copper]

If I run linux the lights are a struggle so I might put it in another room and just run the cables through the wall

When I go back to Arch

[tropic surge]

I prefer black but white looks good

[topaz copper]

I might swap to a Workstation Nvidia Card just for looks

[cosmic idol]

Same

I lowkey just want a dell workstation case

[fringe solstice]

I also prefer black, but before I built my PC I was thinking of making a build using only white parts but I changed my mind because in my country it is harder and more expensive to find those parts.

[topaz copper]

I want the Mac Pro Clone

This is 9800x3d
64GB DDR5
9070XT
5TB of Flash nothing Crazy

[fringe solstice]

🤣

64 GB of ram is more expensive at this point than your GPU 🤣🤣🤣

[topaz copper]

Wasnt at the time

[fringe solstice]

That's crazy

[tropic surge]

damn

[topaz copper]

I just like nice things and Overtime is a thing so it pays for Toys

[tropic surge]

I got

amd ryzen 7 9700x
rtx 5070
32gb ddr5
2tb of storage (adding 2 more)
1000w psu

[topaz copper]

I try to keep nothing on my PC

[tropic surge]

wydm

[topaz copper]

All lives on NAS

[molten sleet]

is the most expensive upgrade actually the ram?

[topaz copper]

Im a pretty lightweight user

[fringe solstice]

Guys, look who entered in contact with me, what do you guys think??? 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[fringe solstice]

Omg, why so much?

[topaz copper]

Homelab Stuff
and Messing with Storage Layouts out of Prod

60TB HDDs
8TB U.2 Zpool
and some Sata SSDs

Best way to learn things is on Hardware

[fringe solstice]

That's a ton of storage, wonder what kind of projects are you into

[topaz copper]

Most is used by Jellyfin

But I have a self hosted Auth Provider and Photo Backups

and stuff nothing crazy

Some VM's

[fringe solstice]

What is Jellyfin?

[topaz copper]

Media Server
Like Plex but open source

https://jellyfin.org/

[fringe solstice]

It's like an on-line server for you to store anything that you might want to

[topaz copper]

Allows me to Watch my Movies and TV Shows anywhere in my house or whereever I may Roam

is the Overview

[fringe solstice]

But you can already do that using mainstream services like Netflix, Amazon prime and others. You just need an internet connection

[topaz copper]

You can

But only the content they offer
I have BluRay Rips I want to watch

[fringe solstice]

What do you mean only the content that they offer?

They have a ton of stuff to watch

[topaz copper]

Sure
But what if what I want to watch isnt there

[fringe solstice]

Well, you go to the internet and try to find it

[topaz copper]

Right and How do you watch that on your TV

You use Jellyfin

[fringe solstice]

Aaah, now I understand what you're saying

That makes sense

[topaz copper]

LTT has some Videos on PLEX / Jellyfin

[fringe solstice]

I bet that he has

He has videos on basically anything 🤣

[topaz copper]

There really good at covering the surface on alot of topics
From there you do your own research

[fringe solstice]

Yeah

[glacial cliff]

just finished collating all the receipts and finishing everything up for the desktop

i'll miss you lovely

[fringe solstice]

If we go on a apocalypse I'll save every LTT video to be able to watch later

[glacial cliff]

(this is the 'ded' one, not the planned new one)

[topaz copper]

You will need to break that down

[glacial cliff]

you mean the water cooling parts? if they want a further breakdown than that, https://pcpartpicker.com/user/GwenBD94/saved/cVDfFT

[formal sonnet]

They don't have everything, and they GeoBlock access to content they host. Tis wonderful to also not be restricted to the type of devices you can enjoy content on, too. I pay for almost all the content I watch, but I often do not use official services to consume it because the official services are too limiting / lack features.

[topaz copper]

Pretty Much
Least they did when I claimed for Electronics before

[glacial cliff]

if u mean receipts, yes i know

[topaz copper]

Receipts never mattered
As what yuo paid is irrelvant
its what it cost to replace

I had a 15 to 20K Power Amp
I got at an Estate sale for 500$

[glacial cliff]

yeah but it proves ownership better than any photo does

and dates ownership so they cant go "hmm i think you bought that 6 years ago and electronics have a 5 year expected lifespan according to actuarial tables"

[topaz copper]

My Adantage was I had all my dead gear

[wet ember]

How do I turn off HDR? Im watching yt and it's straining my eyes

[glacial cliff]

sameeeeeeee

[topaz copper]

Why TruTone off

[wet ember]

HDR man idc about truetone

[topaz copper]

You see the toggle on the screen

Why would you want it off
likely help you in this case

[wet ember]

hdr is straining my eyes dude. I dont wanna watch this yt video in hdr

[topaz copper]

What mac do you have

[wet ember]

it's a 2020 13 inch m1

[topaz copper]

Cauyse normally its under displays

If your mac supports it

[wet ember]

it's not there for some reason

[topaz copper]

Looks like Tahoe changed it

Used to be in Displays

[empty quartz]

Ngl

Today i learned that some android phones get fucking ads in the os

[wet ember]

That's unfortunate... whatever I'll just use the lowest brightness

Btw this youtube video has no reason to be in hdr. It's a video of someone speaking in their room

[topaz copper]

If your on battey

you can disable it in Battery settings

In advanced

I normally use betterdisplay for screen adjustments

[wet ember]

macOS tahoe come on

[topaz copper]

Tahoe is kinda a hot mess

[wet ember]

It's after every other restart where it doesn't load the touch bar

My touch bar right now is completely off. Before I restarted it it was fine

[empty quartz]

Touchbar 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢

[wet ember]

At least the touchbar macs look a lot better aesthetically than whatever the 2021+ models are called

The new Macs look so fugly

[topaz copper]

I even have the glass set to reduce I like the glass but not at expense of Battery I should have stayed on Sequioa prob

I dont have a touchbar I have a M1 Pro 32GB 16"

wife does on her M1

[wet ember]

Apple really screwed up ios 26 and tahoe. Was this stuff vibe coded as well?

[empty quartz]

Touchbar only came on the 13” pro’s for the m1 and m2

[topaz copper]

Ah OK

[topaz copper]

Prob Beta of .3 is better so things will improve

[wet ember]

Idk how to program so idk what exactly vibe coding does but AI clearly isn't ready to replace certain jobs

[topaz copper]

MacOS is fine mostly mac users are just really fussy

I use all OS's they all have there merits and drawbacks

[empty quartz]

My buddy killed the ram on a 2019 macbook air by fucking with the terminal

[topaz copper]

I mean

He Fucked Around and Found out

[frigid blade]

i liked MacOS in school

[topaz copper]

Get that man a Thinkpad with Arch and let him go to work

[frigid blade]

but i also disliked it

i prefer windows over mac

[plain cypress]

Lol wut

[empty quartz]

I am done with all windows laptops

[topaz copper]

Mac is my couch surf OS and portable

[plain cypress]

Ah, so you aren't a corporate office worker

[topaz copper]

I will daily Arch for 2026
I run windows at work

[wet ember]

I'm the opposite, but it's a shame that Office apps don't fully work how I want them too. Excel specifically with the keytips function

[frigid blade]

why?

if youre gonna say something about bloating or bad performance on older hardware i dont wanna hear it

[wet ember]

Office apps on macOS btw

[empty quartz]

You have to spend a fuck ton of money just to get good build quality

[frigid blade]

oh, well just steal one idk

[wet ember]

Shame that 16 inch Macbooks don't have a numpad

[stable beacon]

no more music video streaming i guess

[frigid blade]

wanna know something stupid, youtube plays the video in the background instead of just the audio, which wastes so much bandwidth across all devices

[cosmic basalt]

Found this in storage, how much is it worth?

[frigid blade]

prolly a hunned or 2

[plain cypress]

I find it amusing that OP is mad at premium subscribers
If my spending money makes someone on the Internet get enraged, then I say it's money well spent

[cosmic basalt]

Oh damn

[empty quartz]

E-waste bin

[frigid blade]

that looks like 32gb total right?

[cosmic basalt]

Yeah

[cosmic basalt]

Wait no 2x 8gb

[plain cypress]

Oh it's the ram I bought for my gaming PC in 2015 that I now use as a router

[frigid blade]

ah then not a lot

[empty quartz]

True

[frigid blade]

$40 max

[cosmic basalt]

Found it on amazon for 220 bucks AUD

[plain cypress]

Yeah but you can't sell it new in box on Amazon

[frigid blade]

when

[cosmic basalt]

But 2nd hand sells for less

[frigid blade]

no one is buying at that price used

[stable beacon]

probably like 30$ but hold on to those because even ddr4 is rising

[frigid blade]

its $30-40 on eBay

[cosmic basalt]

Alr

I'm chilling with my 24gb ddr3 lmfao

[frigid blade]

tbh no one is buying new at that price either, thats wild $150 USD new

[topaz copper]

DDR3 is Cheap

[cosmic basalt]

I have a quadro p620 gpu so i dont think i can upgrade much

[frigid blade]

people are trying to charge $40 for 2x8gb ddr3 sodimm

[topaz copper]

Sodimm yeah

Thats fair

[plain cypress]

3200

[stable beacon]

either it'll be gold tomorrow when all ddr5 disappears from existence and people have to salvage or it'll be worth discount price as usual if the ai bubble bursts

[frigid blade]

sodimm is usually cheaper no?

[plain cypress]

Actually what you have is slower than what's in my router

[topaz copper]

no

[empty quartz]

Thats 3200, you have 2400

[frigid blade]

Ddr5 it seems to be

[stable beacon]

im lucky i had 4 sticks, i bought some neo forza 3000 which works fine at the slower speed but i swapped it out in my mini pc for matching sticks of 3600

[cosmic basalt]

I have 24gig ddr3 in my pc

[frigid blade]

Which is why people are buying sodimm to UDIMM adapters for ddr5 since it’s cheaper

[cosmic basalt]

I am new to pcs as you can tell

[stable beacon]

i still have 4 slots left for gskill ddr3 1866

[frigid blade]

My laptop has 8gb lpddr3x

[empty quartz]

I wanna get the janky ddr5 to ddr4 adapter to use my 32gb dimms on my main /j

currently running 16gb on x79, i still need to mod the bios for nvme support but i havent gotten past the verification stage yet

[empty quartz]

Rookie

[frigid blade]

My desktop has 192gb ddr5, it’s such a weird difference

[stable beacon]

you want to do it for me?

[frigid blade]

That’s why I set up the VMs for me to remote into from my laptop because much better performance

[empty quartz]

Rookie numbers for ram

[stable beacon]

but h'why

[frigid blade]

4 windows on 1 pc, needs ram

• other shenanigans

[stable beacon]

server?

[frigid blade]

Not really, kinda

[stable beacon]

why cant you run like 18,000 linux vms

[empty quartz]

@frigid blade im stealing some ram

[frigid blade]

It has 3 windows VMs and the host runs windows, they have GPU paravirtualization which splits my 4090 between them all

It saves a lot of space and I can put it in the basement

[cosmic basalt]

[frigid blade]

Then whoever needs the windows can remote into it on a thin client and get all of that performance

[stable beacon]

i've yet to break 200mb in the past 7+ years, even with ethernet

[cosmic basalt]

i have an expensive plan

[frigid blade]

200mb on ethernet? That seems like a cpu issue

If you’re getting 200Mbps on Ethernet it’s a gigabit link

[cosmic basalt]

my brother's work pays for internet so we just got the best plan

[frigid blade]

You’re bottlenecked by cpu

Unless you’re not paying for over 200Mbps for your internet

[cosmic basalt]

that's what i though was happening

thought

[fallow yacht]

why ookla lol use cloudflare's it's more accurate

[frigid blade]

I like ookla

[cosmic basalt]

i also like ookla

I've never used this cable before.

How do I make sure it doesn't explode?

[ivory mountain]

is that goatren i see

[ivory mountain]

plug it in

[twin grove]

use an amd or intel card with the old 8 pin connectors

[warm anvil]

ur message genuinely made my ram max out and crash discord

[warm anvil]

also yes

[grizzled frost]

push it all the way in

what card do you have

[ivory mountain]

😭

[warm anvil]

dude i got a notification from "linux kernel"😭

[clear canyon]

its 2400mhz cl16, its low end ddr4

[cosmic basalt]

Alr

[grizzled frost]

really low end ddr4

[clear canyon]

lol yeah

isnt base speed 2666?

[grizzled frost]

highest JEDEC was 3200

[junior merlin]

4070ti

[grizzled frost]

ha, yeah melting is a non-issue

for that card at least

[warm anvil]

ok im done for now

[ivory mountain]

pretty

[warm anvil]

thanks

idk why the clock looks so ugly tho

[warm anvil]

i want it to look like this

[rigid fjord]

feels like a rainmeter skin tbh

[warm anvil]

true

[stiff sonnet]

are 90c vram temps normal?

[rigid fjord]

for when it's under load, yes

[stiff sonnet]

upwards of 93 normal yeah?

[rigid fjord]

nah, over 100c you will enter thermal throttle because of it, and at 120-125c thermal shutdown

only 3090/3090ti owners fully know what it's like to have the gpu kill itself by cooking the vram

[stiff sonnet]

lmao i have xtx, had to sure its fine, ive seen it hover around 91, max 94

[steel umbra]

under boiling temps is ok

[grizzled frost]

water can boil at 93c

[steel umbra]

assuming sensors aren’t usually stuck to the absolutely hottest part, i’d say 95c includes a safe margin

[steel umbra]

under lower pressure y

[grizzled frost]

only gotta be at 6500ft in altitude for that to be true

[heavy sandal]

Hey guys i got windows n stuff downloaded on my pc but ever since downloading steam its been buggy and i cant click on certain things

Or it takes forever to open something

Almost like im running extremely slow ram

But like im not able to shut off or restart my pc using windows

It seems to break once i try to select something

[rigid fjord]

tbf, water can boil at room temp in the right conditions

[heavy sandal]

What

[rigid fjord]

primarily at the right altitude, the lower the temp is needed to boil water

[heavy sandal]

I just built my second pc ever and its also messed up and you are over here talking about water boiling

[rigid fjord]

and what you're after is tech support not tech chat

[brave brook]

2133. There were Xeon CPUs limited to DDR4-1866 (not joking)

[clear canyon]

when your ddr4 identifies as ddr3

[brave brook]

completely serious https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/83352/intel-xeon-processor-e52620-v3-15m-cache-2-40-ghz/specifications.html

higher v3 models were DDR4-2133

v4 got up to DDR4-2400

[rigid fjord]

when your ddr3 identifies as ddr4, ddr3 2133/2400/2666/3200

[clear canyon]

I thought ddr3 maxed at 2400?

[brave brook]

https://www.gskill.com/product/165/173/1532069925/F3-3200C13D-8GTXDG

[clear canyon]

ddr3 kinda ballin ngl

[rigid fjord]

common to see ones, but no, 3200 was highest ddr3

[clear canyon]

thats insane actually

[rigid fjord]

there's even a rare ddr4 1600 out there in the wilds

[clear canyon]

ewaste ngl

[swift moss]

Redlined my engine for 4 seconds without ANY oil 😍

[clear canyon]

wait what

[rigid fjord]

ddr3 3200 is as rare to find as ddr4 below 2133

[clear canyon]

yeah

[swift moss]

Idk how it survived

[rigid fjord]

would love to own this just to fuck with people

[swift moss]

Nissan straight 3 is where it's at

[clear canyon]

why was the engine on with no oil

[swift moss]

Idk how there was no oil

My sensor blew or something might be a leak

I drive it daily no oil

😭 albeit in eco mode

[clear canyon]

no puddle?

[swift moss]

Puddle under the car? No

[rigid fjord]

or worse, both

[clear canyon]

check ur dip stick

[swift moss]

Might have been gradual leaking while driving

[swift moss]

It was completely dry

[clear canyon]

oh god

[swift moss]

I just filled up 2 litres, will monitor

[clear canyon]

check your oil pan

[swift moss]

Too lazy rn

[clear canyon]

and see if its leaking or your oil filter

[swift moss]

Maybe when I'm swapping my front brakes later

[rigid fjord]

smh

[swift moss]

I failed my car test because of sub par pads

[rigid fjord]

dude!

[clear canyon]

[swift moss]

Loll

[clear canyon]

its "weak" XD

[swift moss]

Worst wof I've ever done, passed last year with flying colourz

[clear canyon]

I gotta take my motorcycle licence test

[swift moss]

I think I've been abusing my brakes a little I've been slamming them

[clear canyon]

im gonna do the MSF course tho

[haughty compass]

Chat found some ram. I'm rich now right 🤑 🤑 time to become a billionaire

[clear canyon]

I engine brake 90% of the time

[swift moss]

And I've been abusing my engine when it's out of eco

[rigid fjord]

only ddr2, eh not worth much

[swift moss]

I can hear soot coming from the engine 😭😭 when I floor it

[clear canyon]

dudes flexing his ddr2

[clear canyon]

ur cat is getting clogged

[swift moss]

Honestly 200hp beast the car is very light

[clear canyon]

that happens when you idle or are at low rpms most of the time

[swift moss]

I don't like driving out of eco eco is very smooth and nice

[swift moss]

I have a cvt

[clear canyon]

your engine cleans itself when you are at high rpms

[swift moss]

Which feels like fake gears 😭😭

[clear canyon]

does not mattter, its the same thing

[swift moss]

True

[rigid fjord]

doesn't matter, still needs a high rev/speed blast

[swift moss]

I have a supercharged too 😭 the 30-50kph range is insanely quick

[swift moss]

So you want me to floor it more often?

[clear canyon]

you are more fuel efficient at low rpms but you build soot and crap, at high rpms you are less fuel efficient but you clean your engine as it burns off the soot

[swift moss]

I don't want to damage my frail engine 😭😭

[clear canyon]

huh?

super charged eco boost?

[swift moss]

Balancing fuel money and engine replacement costs 😭

[swift moss]

I give full model

[clear canyon]

what

[swift moss]

Model name

[clear canyon]

iv heard of eco boosts with turbos but not super chargers

[rigid fjord]

if it's got an egr, you won't like the cleanout/replacement costs

[swift moss]

[swift moss]

Idk how to service my car very well I just don't want to break anything

Its my only daily so I just take it to the mechanic lol

[clear canyon]

oh my god, wtf is this car

[swift moss]

Direct Injection too 🤑

[rigid fjord]

you can get an addative you can pour into the tank to help clear the soot out

[swift moss]

I'll have a look for that at my auto shoppe

[clear canyon]

does it have the whine?

[swift moss]

Very slight at a certain speed

[rigid fjord]

usually it's a blue bottle, there's a red version for diesels

[swift moss]

I just thought that was transmission or sipercharged

[clear canyon]

also, a super charger on a 1.2L is crazy work

[swift moss]

Ikr 😭😭

Still maintains good fuel economy too 😭

Hr12ddr good engine

[clear canyon]

where is my super charger!!!

I have a 2015 nissan sentra SE

[swift moss]

Ok ty

[swift moss]

I might remove exhaust from mine when I have another daily

I don't want to do Frankenstein with my main car

It sounds really nice

[clear canyon]

so you want it to sound like a turd in a can XD

[swift moss]

I meant straight pipe lol

[clear canyon]

straight pipe inline 4s sounds like shit

[junior merlin]

What is clearance?

[swift moss]

3!!

[junior merlin]

We don't need that here

[swift moss]

Oh no 4 mb

[rigid fjord]

suppose to add it when you fill up next

[swift moss]

Do I need a ratio to fuel?

Specific ratio*

[cosmic idol]

why people straight pipe i4s i do not know

[clear canyon]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/_bLrOmufRLk

[swift moss]

My tank has like 4l in it rn so I'll just fill accordigly

[swift moss]

Shitcan 😭

[rigid fjord]

nope, the bottle you just dump straight in via the filler cap, and add whatever amount you like

[clear canyon]

if you do duel header straight pipe for the line 4, it actually sounds decent

[swift moss]

And I'm not taking my cat off that's too detrimentL

[clear canyon]

yeah its awful

[swift moss]

Oh lol okk

[swift moss]

My supercharger sounds nice I guess

[tropic surge]

Ancient

[swift moss]

https://youtu.be/7xHPHGy9ukE

This is how mine sounds I have the dig-s

[cosmic idol]

im more talking about the morons who hacksaw their mufflers off and attach gutter piping to it instead 😭

[clear canyon]

oh ik, its awful

[cosmic idol]

is the supercharger with us

[swift moss]

Straight 3 and I feel the supercharger sometimes

[clear canyon]

with the name rev line, I was wanting to hear the the rev limiter

[swift moss]

Brother is a little low on fuel 😭

[swift moss]

I haven't hit past that 6k ever even while flooring

[rigid fjord]

this is the one for diesels@swift moss

[swift moss]

Maybe in park it's possible

[swift moss]

I'll have a look one sec

[clear canyon]

iv hit 5k on my little sentra in sport mode

[rigid fjord]

the version for petrol cars becasue they like to change colours on the bottles

[clear canyon]

tryin to clean the injectors?

[swift moss]

https://www.supercheapauto.co.nz/p/sca-sca-petrol-fuel-system-cleaner-300ml/649250.html

[rigid fjord]

helps overall tbh, even helps with soot build up further along

[rigid fjord]

yup

[swift moss]

I don't like the 1 stars on there but I'm sure it's all the same formula

[clear canyon]

you can also clean the engine (not injectors) and your cats by giving it the beans as you drive lol

aka the italian tune up

[swift moss]

This nulon one a lot more review @rigid fjord
https://www.supercheapauto.co.nz/p/nulon-nulon-pro-strength-petrol-system-extreme-clean---500ml/561439.html

[rigid fjord]

personally i only know of redex and know it's good for it, they also have a petrol boost addative in a grey/silver bottle also, and then there's STP which is basically also redex under another name

[swift moss]

Ok I'll try find redex in nz

Why tf is everyone driving on an empty tank 😭😭

NO NO O

THE ENGINE IS COLD

He just revved it to 6

[heavy sandal]

What do i do 😭

The only way to activate it is to pay $140

[clear canyon]

there is alternatives

[rigid fjord]

it was made famous in australia, so i don't see why it shouldn't be available for you dude @swift moss

[feral stream]

Two words power shell

[swift moss]

Hmm

[rigid fjord]

eh, not really, you can use it for free

BTW @clear canyon does the Nissan note cvt have a launch gear?

[clear canyon]

No, its a cvt so no gears at all

[swift moss]

Some have a launch gear to reduce stress on the cvt from flooring from stop

And then disengage the launch gear like 1st gear at the right time to the cvt

when someone sells a 'base components for a PC' with a picture like this, it feels like they try to hide something 😄

I really like the thrill of the fight (vr boxing game)

I've been playing that game for years lol even then when it was only PCVR and wired

now it works with Quest 3 in mixed reality mode. progress! lol

I've never used vr

For boxing at least

[gritty panther]

are you interested to see what it looks like?

I have a video of myself playing the game lol

https://removepaywalls.com/https://www.theverge.com/tech/870045/microsoft-windows-11-issues-rebuilding-trust-notepad

...in a process known as “swarming.” Microsoft is redirecting engineers to urgently fix Windows 11’s performance and reliability issues, aiming to halt the operating system’s death by a thousand cuts.

Microsoft is also going to spend the rest of the year focusing on all of the Windows 11 pain points. “The feedback we’re receiving from our community of passionate customers and Windows Insiders has been clear. We need to improve Windows in ways that are meaningful for people,” says Pavan Davuluri, president of Windows and devices, in a statement to Notepad. “This year you will see us focus on addressing pain points we hear consistently from customers: improving system performance, reliability, and the overall experience of Windows.”

[warm anvil]

thank god

still wont ever be better than linux i fear

[stoic nova]

for everything besides directx12 games that still will probably be true

as i said, the issue is the RAM slot usage, suspicious

windows 11 has finally good performance now. this is a big deal but people seem unhappy still

I feel like it's just cool to hate on microsoft lol

[stoic nova]

It's everything but the gaming performance

[gritty panther]

instead of celebrating we shit on the guy that made the video lol

that's sad

[stoic nova]

Don't get me wrong I still daily windows. And strip my installs of the problems people have with it. But can sympathize with how offensive the intended experience is

[gritty panther]

I know microsoft isn't on everyone's good graces but unwarranted hate is more annoying to me recently lol

[pale flint]

ah yes nvidia on linux

[gritty panther]

double standards too like when Meta/microsoft does something it's evil but when Valve does it it's fine

hypocrites lol

[pale flint]

hmmm

It's a good thing that people find the compromise of gaming performance worth it for Linux.

[gritty panther]

does it even exist?

[stray portal]

Ok i checked modt of my stuff works with openrazer

[rigid fjord]

hehehe

[serene python]

thing is after a point you get tired of disable this disable that and you just switch to something that doesnt force ai down your throat

[gritty panther]

very loud minority lel

[frosty ruin]

The year Zen 5 released

[fickle ivy]

Im so excited for my new lens

[frosty ruin]

The year always refers to the architecture when it was released. In this case 2024

[serene python]

line below the 100-thing says when its was exactly made

it should say 25XX

25 meaning 2025 and XX is the week of 2025

[bold olive]

isnt it a 2026 cpu

[gritty panther]

the goat

[tidal geyser]

no its a 9800X3D

[bold olive]

oh ok

[tidal geyser]

like literally the 9850X3D is a 9800X3D cpu but with a different name and a bit bigger stock power profile

[frosty ruin]

Better binned

But more speed is always welcome

Never touched a 5Ghz+ cpu in my life

[tidal geyser]

after seeing it i dono

[bold olive]

me who has a 5.1 ghz cpu

but never hits 5 ever

[tidal geyser]

xd even says its 2024

[bold olive]

legit my intention is to buy a 9800x3d and turbo it to 5.6

[tidal geyser]

yea

[frosty ruin]

[tidal geyser]

why did you buy such a old cpu

[serene python]

[gritty panther]

CPU's of champions.

the best of the best.

Prime AMD

[gritty panther]

I love it when nerds like me spend a lot of money on expensive toys lol

[bold olive]

the 'made in malaysia' just reminds me of how malaysia assembles these cpus and a ryzen here costs more than other markets

[mint umbra]

I regret my amd gpu purchase

[bold olive]

why

i would've used it to daily linux

[gritty panther]

nvidia features envy is my guess

[serene python]

[frosty ruin]

Cheaper labor over there

[mint umbra]

cuz dlss so much better

[gritty panther]

dlss 4.5 is amazing. nvidia didnt even hype it up

just shows they dont care as much anymore

[mint umbra]

I have zero reason to use linux

[tidal geyser]

fsr 4 aka what you can use is still ok

[tidal geyser]

try it out

[mint umbra]

based on videos ive seen dlss is better

[tidal geyser]

ok?

[mint umbra]

at the time I should have gotten the 4080

[tidal geyser]

the 9850X3D is better than a 9800X3D but it does not mean anybody is going to buy it

better is relative

[tidal geyser]

its was 1.5x the cost

[gritty panther]

9850xd is for people that want the best of the best

it's for people with big pp

right @frosty ruin

[mint umbra]

it was only like 200 dollars more pretty sure

[tidal geyser]

for me it was that much

aka 1.5x ish

[mint umbra]

4080 was 1200 usd 7900xtx was 1000 usd

[frosty ruin]

I wanted to buy the 9800X3D (with the thought of buying the best gaming cpu) first but since I upgraded at the right time and the 9850X3D literally fell perfect into my upgrade window I bought the 9850X3D

[mint umbra]

all the amd shills convinced me amd was better

[mint umbra]

there zero benefit

[frosty ruin]

This whole upgrade shit took 1 month to complete the most difficult part finding ddr5 at a reasonable price

[tidal geyser]

how do you know

i did not see any benefits until i was forced to use linux

[mint umbra]

I play games windows plays games fine

[bold olive]

not helpful but ok

[tidal geyser]

if you got enough time to chat here all day you got time to at least TRY it

[mint umbra]

I see no reason to waste my time learning a new os

I dont chat here all day mate

[tall sandal]

Any plans for intel core ultra series 4?

Will there be any 3D V cache?

[mint umbra]

most of my time here is when im at work doing nothing

[tidal geyser]

install linux on your work laptop

[cold skiff]

This is not the Intel marketing team discord

[tidal geyser]

yes

[mint umbra]

not allowed

[tall sandal]

any leaks or anything I’m wondering

[tidal geyser]

take with you a non work laptop

[tall sandal]

Damm really?

[cold skiff]

I wonder how long until Intel gets sued for their vcache implementation

[gritty panther]

nah you're right for buying the 9850x3d. it's the big PP cpu

[tidal geyser]

well yea intel has talked about it for a year

[mint umbra]

non work laptop cant connect to work network

[tidal geyser]

no need for internet on a lot of linux distros

[tall sandal]

Will the new core ultra 7 and 9 have two different versions

or more than 2

[tidal geyser]

wat

[tall sandal]

like AMD

[tidal geyser]

its not out mate

[tall sandal]

Like currently there is intel core ultra 7 265 and 265k

I see

[tidal geyser]

locked vs unlocked

[mint umbra]

so intel might finally catch up to amd in gaming with the 3d cache

[tidal geyser]

not a lot to catch up to but maybe

[gritty panther]

on paper it's looking to beat it

but who knows. Intel can fk it up like usual

[frosty ruin]

The RTX 3090 needs power

[tidal geyser]

the big thing with next gen is the whole 52 cores

[bold olive]

@mint umbra less bloatware, less ram usage especially in this economy

[mint umbra]

I mean for like 3 generations they have had best gaming cpu

[gritty panther]

now you need a 5090 hehe

[bold olive]

i also had no reason to go linux but i did it anyway

[gritty panther]

that 3090 is still expensive because of vram!

[bold olive]

i never regretted it

[mint umbra]

I dont really care about ram usage

im never maxing out my ram

[tidal geyser]

i had to update my soldering iron aka why i was forced into linux

[bold olive]

wdym maxing out your ram?

[mint umbra]

I use like 20gb maybe

out of 32

[frosty ruin]

I had more VRAM than ram 2 years ago when I boasted 16GB of ram only

[tidal geyser]

unused ram is wasted ram

[gritty panther]

I want windows to use more RAM lol

[tidal geyser]

use ZFS

[tall sandal]

Is there anything than that intel is better than compared to AMD?

[bold olive]

i legit cant force windows to utilize my entire 32 gigs

[tidal geyser]

i can ramdisk on linux install a game and play it with the amount of ram i got

[bold olive]

at best in a game with lots of shit open it tops at 20

[tall sandal]

AMD cpus have higher fps in games due to 3d v cache

[gritty panther]

I hope windows is smarter. just cache everything I have 96gb anyway

[bold olive]

i wanna do daylight robbery

[frosty ruin]

Workstation but AMD is catching up fast

[mint umbra]

pretty sure intel still better in productivity

[gritty panther]

Intel is still dominating the server space afaik

[tall sandal]

Like I mean for core ultra

[tidal geyser]

up to what you do

[mint umbra]

and intel is better in laptops
