i thought it was a knife missile

[ocean axle]

linux has always just worked for me, skill issue

[mint umbra]

All I did was try to install idk what kind of skill that involves

[ocean axle]

AGM-114 Hellfire R9X, a guided portable blender that falls from the sky.

[teal sphinx]

you isntalled through the UEFI: USB Hard Disk right?

[ocean axle]

there is no escape from the portable blender

[mint umbra]

Yeah

[steel umbra]

that sounds a waste of time to aim, a nuke i can just plant it down in the city and it’s 100% guaranteed to eliminate the greed

[ocean axle]

have you considered looking in the menu i mentioned 6 minutes ago?

7 minutes ago*

[mint umbra]

I'm at work

Not much I can do till I get home

[teal sphinx]

try disabling fast boot

[ocean axle]

ahh, so you're just here to complain, nice

[teal sphinx]

i remember on an old dell machine i had to disable fast boot

[mint umbra]

I will try when I get home

[plain cypress]

Have you ever had an interaction with them that wasn't like this?

[steel umbra]

also sorry for being so hmmm uncool today i watched way too many documentaries and they all were very sadge

trying to cheer up

[ocean axle]

id like to point at me mostly just going "skill issue"

[mint umbra]

Wasn't really complaining I just said I would prob would stick to windows

At first

Cuz it wasn't working not like I was angry or anything

You guys where ones pressing me to ask how much did I actually trouble shoot and stuff

[steel umbra]

chatgpt is all i needed to know

[mint umbra]

I mean I haven't had many issues using it

Well I used Gemini actually

But yeah

[steel umbra]

feel free to search through my messages that i posted agaisnt chatgpt

and gemini

[mint umbra]

I mean I wasn't having much luck with Google what else am I suppose to do

What use Bing or something

[steel umbra]

if you want a free chat model at least use perplexity that one is still overconfident beetch but less stopid

40% inaccuracy

[mint umbra]

Like I basicly was stuck looking for Reddit posts for other ppl who had same issue

[steel umbra]

step by step search your issues and phrased properly

How did he install cachy to the USB stick

There is a reason I only ever use Ventoy for everything now

[mint umbra]

I only used chat gpt cuz google wasn't giving me any answers

And I couldn't do what ppl advised since I currently don't have access to computer

Since I'm at work

[tidal geyser]

Use Ventoy

[mint umbra]

What's that

https://youtu.be/inRZT8t-5jk?si=5AnLHXDi1WP9xSFV was following this video

[tidal geyser]

O well might as well make my own video too then

[mint umbra]

I used Rufus to make the iso image

[tidal geyser]

Yes I know, it has issues.

[mint umbra]

Guess I'll try that when I get home

The first time Ive heard iso image has issues

As most videos I've watched used iso image

[tidal geyser]

I had issues with truenas

[versed ferry]

Alright I got a question for y'all. Do any of you just randomly use Micro-ATX boards when you're NOT trying to save money or NOT using a smaller case? I don't see a point in them unless you're trying to build a smaller build or possibly save money. Micro-ATX boards tend to be cheaper than ATX but less expensive than Mini-ATX. As of yet I have not used one. However when I was upgrading my friends build he had one (but he didn't choose his parts) and I assume the friend that had him choose that back then was just to save money. What do you guys do? The only way I would go with Micro-ATX is if I really needed to save money or if I'm finally building a small form factor build, but in that case I might go with a Mini-ATX.

So far I have only gone with full size ATX boards

[unique aspen]

amination made in powerpoint

[versed ferry]

I honestly think Micro-ATX boards are a bit ugly unless they're in a smaller PC case

[versed ferry]

Nooooo, not outlook

I actually like outlook

[tidal geyser]

You can but during install you have to have it off
https://wiki.cachyos.org/configuration/secure_boot_setup/

[unique aspen]

same

only outlook classic tho

[mint umbra]

Yeah someone told me about that earlier

Is there something wrong with out look

[tidal geyser]

Yes

[versed ferry]

I don't even remember what classic looks like, I just switched to the new one awhile back. I just really love Outlook alias feature. I have a bunch of different emails on my one Outlook account and then I have an email that I don't give out to anyone as my actual sign in email. You can't sign into my account with any of the emails I give out.

[mint umbra]

I use it at work don't have many issues with it

[unique aspen]

my accounts are made on [e-mail] lmao

[versed ferry]

I'm just sick of Google TBH. Microsoft is also a massive corporation selling your data and what not, but I'm pretty fed up with Google in particular. The most I hate Microsoft for is the shit they're pulling with Windows.

[unique aspen]

sir no thank u

did i really exceed it

[plain cypress]

New outlook is great

[mint umbra]

I prefer Google over Microsoft

[unique aspen]

oh

[versed ferry]

Yeah I haven't had any issues with it personally.

[versed ferry]

Me when I forgot to renew Microsoft 365. I have a bunch of ROMS on there plus a bunch of other shit. Like ~450gb. Need to move my ROMS to one of my external drives for back up. However, I figure it can't hurt to have another backup on the cloud, however it really isn't that big of a deal either way. I have most of them on multiple drives.

[unique aspen]

i have 1tb microsoft sharepoint storage so im fine

even if it expires im still fine

[latent pasture]

i mean thats pretty much the only reasons to use matx , unless u specifically find small mobo in big case aesthetically pleasing (weirdge)
also for sff there are sff cases that are as small as possible bare min size to fit matx mobo and full size psu so u can get an sff build thats only 1 or 2 inches bigger than common sff cases that need itx mobo and sfx psu which r much more expensive, but this is just the "save money" point again lol.

[daring crystal]

Elon Musk becomes first person in history to surpass a $850,000,000,000 net worth.

@WatcherGuru

[versed ferry]

1TB is so much storage until it isn't

[latent pasture]

is this a bot

[tidal geyser]

Yea

[daring crystal]

Yep

[latent pasture]

i shouldve bought 2tb during the cheeps nvme era man

[tidal geyser]

Trust

[latent pasture]

now theyre like triple the price

[unique aspen]

i have more trust

[tidal geyser]

I wish I built a nvme nas during the summer

[latent pasture]

$30 per tb nvme era was nuts
they probably had no profits

[versed ferry]

Hell yeah, I need to build a NAS sometime. I have 10TB on my main PC in NVME drives for games and some virtual machines, but I need to A. Get a harddrive for mass storage and B. Build a NAS for whatever.

Wait, really? You're a bot?

Yes. Replaced myself with Gemini years ago.

[daring crystal]

I'm not actually here

[raven scroll]

I’m too used to not uninstalling shit already used up 75% of my storage in half a year

And that’s like 1.5 terabytes

[unique aspen]

it still lived on the floor back then, if the psu wasnt at the top the pc would probably be dead

[versed ferry]

Do you game on your PC? The only time I have used a 1030 is at work on an Automated Optical Inspection machine for electronics manufacturing. At the end of the day, just about any PC is better than no PC. Until I built my rig I was playing Roller Coaster Tycoon, CIV 5, Fallout 1 & 2, etc. on my VIAO all in one from like, 2011.

I recognize I am lucky to be able to build the PC that I have for so many reasons

[tidal geyser]

Damocles one of the 2 main makers wants you to redownload the iso

[unique aspen]

yeah

also overclocked the core 2 quad using tape

[raven scroll]

Is it better to add another stick or replace the single stick with one that can store more

[tidal geyser]

Even tho you checked the sha256 go make sure it's not corrupt right

[versed ferry]

Hopefully you can upgrade that GPU sometime. What do you mean 'with tape'?

[rocky citrus]

the cachyos goat has spoken (aka the founder)

[mint umbra]

Ok

How did you talk to them lol

[rocky citrus]

they just chatted in the chat lol

[raven scroll]

Pls chat I need advice

[azure topaz]

cute little mod you can do on the q6600 and a couple other cpus to boost the fsb ratio

[tidal geyser]

The same way I tried to fix a issue I had, use their discord

[azure topaz]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U3kAGnVWPj0

[unique aspen]

if you put tape on a pin the cpu will run at 3ghz

instead of 2,50

[rocky citrus]

cachycord is full of linux detectives, insane talent

[mint umbra]

Oh I didn't know they were chill like that talking to random ppl

[rocky citrus]

yeah, you'd think they would stay away, might be a good idea sometimes lmao

[tidal geyser]

That is all peter does all day

He talks on all major platforms all day

[formal sonnet]

Slaps tray full of Q6600's - I knew I'd been holding onto these for a rainy day! Now, if only I had motherboards and RAM to accompany them...

[versed ferry]

Damn that's cool

[versed ferry]

Yeah never heard of that

[versed ferry]

Going to have to watch that a minute, now I'm curious

[azure topaz]

did it back in the day on my dell optiplex 780 i think

[raven scroll]

Raaa

[empty quartz]

I know im 6 years late to the party, but holy fuck half life alyx is good

[versed ferry]

Yeah damn, I just watched that. That's really fucking cool. It reminds me of something Linus was talking about on WAN show or something awhile back where there was an AMD CPU that was a dual core that has a third core on it that you could enable. Wasn't a guarantee that it worked, but if you could get it to work you could get a big performance boost. Sometimes I'm sad that I missed the days of PC building back in the 2000's or even most of the 2010's. There was a lot of cool shit back then, and as great as PC hardware is now there's also been so much stupid bullshit since COVID with chip shortages, crypto, ram shortage, price gouging, etc. etc. etc. etc.

[versed ferry]

I still have to play it, I have been replaying Half-Life recently to finally play it. I'm on Half-Life 2 right now, slowly making my way through it.

[versed ferry]

It's really cool that there's a mod to play that game with no VR. Obviously it's better to play it with VR, but not everyone can get a VR headset so it is cool that it's an option. Half-Life Alyx will be the first full VR game I'm going to play.

[versed ferry]

I recognize how lucky I am to be able to have the PC I have, but damn there is something still so appealing about scrapyard wars'ing your way into a gaming PC.

[azure topaz]

yeah it sucked

that is not good

I talked with someone who actually believes “apple should remove the charging port and go full wireless there’s literally zero downsides”

[tidal geyser]

I'm sitting here with a phone that can't wirelessly charge

[quasi field]

Pff

[ivory mountain]

😭

[quasi field]

Wireless is most definitely not the future even if was even close to like 95% efficient… still would get super hot

[mint rock]

must've been an interesting conversation

[quasi field]

“I don’t even know why it still has a port I don’t even use it”

[mint rock]

oh my god

This still would suck doo doo farts imo… more freaking cables

[rapid quarry]

I’m thinking on the back of the phone to replace Qi charging. Would be much simpler as well

I feel like they’d just make the copper exposed at that point…

Would increase efficiency

also i have doubts about windows 12 being good so, i’ll switch to linux once a major vulnerability pops up for windows 10 that just would make win 10 unusable, unless i could do an easy measure myself

[versed ferry]

I am one of the few people who actually likes Windows 11, apparently

I don't like the fact that they try to force you into a Microsoft account and what not

But my issue is a lot of the bullshit people hate about 11 are also on 10

Such is life

[steel umbra]

in eu they added the back arrow and big button no account hehe local account is ez

[turbid folio]

i’m thinking of making the switch to linux but idk if i have the patience for anything that inevitably needs fixing 🙃

Guys I’m in distress. I have no clue where any of my stuff should go. I’m not the greatest organizer. Any help?

[turbid folio]

stuff?

[wooden pasture]

My setup i wanted to clean it up and switch everything around before stream, but I have no clue what would be the optimal positioning

[steel umbra]

the windows in eu is much more user friendly when you want a local acc

[versed ferry]

Never heard of that, will have to look into it. The stupid thing is I actually USE my Microsoft account on my Windows install, the thing is I just want to be able to make a local account first and then sign into my Microsoft account after, that's what I did on every Windows 11 install so far one way or the other. I don't want my fucking file directory to be the first five letters of my fucking Microsoft account email. So damn stupid.

[turbid folio]

look up other peoples setups and look at their configuration, it’s gonna be based on preference plus what kind of area you’re working with

[stray portal]

YESS EXACTLY THATS WHAT PMO

[turbid folio]

so just try and take inspiration

[stray portal]

it fucked up my file directory

[steel umbra]

you will have to deceive the server to make them believe you live in eu

but i think that breaks tos so i will shut up

[versed ferry]

Eh, I just use Rufus or one of the other work arounds.

I did the command line work around last time but I believe they may have patched that now

It was in one of LTTs build guides awhile back

But there is always Rufus

Microsoft can't patch that

[hasty valley]

One of the build guides they did was ripped off of me.

LTT owes me money.

[turbid folio]

https://tenor.com/view/why-is-he-gif-3749724709641675358

[hasty valley]

Scientifically proven, beyond a reasonable doubt.

Also can I say this. Bro.... How dare they.

[steel umbra]

maybe even just picking during setup that you live in eu would be convincing enough

but yeah you may break few things

like yk when you set up a language during fresh installation, when you change that later sometimes windows sort of breaks and not everything is in the language that you want

[cold skiff]

I still don’t understand how people trust chatgpt

[steel umbra]

chatbots are only good for browsing

you always have to check the source

[cold skiff]

Maybe in 20 or so years but today? Just garbage that needs to improve massively

[steel umbra]

otherwise chatgpt will tell you that taping your kid to a wall bc the kid is loud is a good idea

[cold skiff]

It’s like those people that fall in love with their chatgpt characters

[cold skiff]

It’s not the worst idea though

That’s kind of the problem though isn’t it. It can give you solutions that work, but they aren’t good or advisable most the time

[steel umbra]

i also prefer visual tutorials/guidances over text ones

the chatbots usually compress text to not make a section of a step a literal wall of text

so they wont tell you turn your cursor whatever where unless you ask

[cold skiff]

Full disclosure, my eldest when he was 2 we taped on the wall up by the ceiling. He found it hilarious

I love there age when they have no sense of danger or fear

[stray portal]

[steel umbra]

hmmmmm how could that go wrong

[steel umbra]

that depends on you

with semi modular you usually have to plug the essential cables almost always so

[sinful cobalt]

it makes cable management alot easier

[steel umbra]

biggest diff is usually non modular vs semi

because non modular have all the cable attached, not just essential like 24pin, one esp and vga

[hasty valley]

Alway mix and match your PSU cables. They are the same thing, especially across manufacturers.

[buoyant bridge]

The pixel 9 pro overheating is such a nothing burger oh my god😭

it cools down slower than the xl but that's to be expected since it's the XL crammed into the regular 9's body

I couldn't even make it hit 100F during benchmarks idk WHY it managed to hit 106F during the setup

I think it dead ass got overblown so badly because it's average temps r only like 20F off from where it won't fast charge (101F)

[tidal geyser]

all modern cpus "overheat"

as in they max out the performance by going as hot as they can be before damage

the main issue i have with the pixels is the weak performance when compared to other chips and yes for 90% of people it does not matter.

[buoyant bridge]

nah you definitely feel it when you setup a new pixel and it hasn't optimized anything yet

depending on what model either your battery life sucks or it's really sluggish for the first day or two

Once whatever the new model is has been out for 2 weeks nobody really complains about it anymore because they've had it long enough for it to optimize and it feels fine

my 9 pro has been slow till this morning, now it feels fast and gets the full (expected) battery life, and my 7 pro was very similar for about a day

[buoyant bridge]

The pixel 9 (like every other pixel) gets hot to the touch if you're making it do literally everything it can

literally every tensor pixel I've seen will get hot to the touch during setup, the non XL 9 pro is the first time I've seen it take more than 15 minutes to cool down though

[versed ferry]

I have a 13900k, can confirm. It's a minature nuclear reactor.

it not I'll just build my drawers a little shorter and use actual gang boxes with wall outlets since I can tap Romex from one of the other outlets in my desk

[tidal geyser]

[buoyant bridge]

I want a drawer to charge all my batteries at the same time which comes out to about 1200W

[buoyant bridge]

[buoyant bridge]

that plug only does 1650W

[tidal geyser]

oh wait murican plug

[buoyant bridge]

[versed ferry]

I use this baby. She can hold so much surge insurance

[buoyant bridge]

Yeah but I want the outlets in the drawer

• I have actual Romex in my desk behind the framing

[tidal geyser]

here in europe EVERYTHING in the house has surge protection as we put it in the electrical closet

[buoyant bridge]

I've got surge protection on my breaker panel

Though it's OPTIONAL in the US

[tidal geyser]

f

[buoyant bridge]

I already have 3 layers of surge protection before you hit the outlets and 2 layers of gfci

[tidal geyser]

jesus

[buoyant bridge]

if you're on commercial power in the US you can add a LOT of protection

you have a line in surge protection device, CT cabinet/meter device, and panel device if you want to have all 3

and you can have GFCI outlets on top of breakers (you only need one GFCI outlet at the start of the circuit)

[buoyant bridge]

Have y'all ever seen a car battery fly

One of the dumbass who used to work for me got told to take the 12V aux battery out of the bed in one of the bucket trucks and put it in so he could drive it back to the warehouse

Grabbed the 48V deep cycle instead and hooked it up, this is a diesel so there's also a 12V and the 12V supposedly got sent flying

[buoyant bridge]

I would be inclined to believe this as it was not found 😭

hilariously a L5P Duramax will actually tolerate being hooked up with a single 48V battery, for how long I don't know

None of the interior lighting liked it though nor did various fuses

[versed ferry]

That battery crushed an orphan in Jamacia

Guaranteed

[buoyant bridge]

nah but it probably did get sent flying 4 to 5 feet

I've seen accidents like that on a smaller scale break the terminal posts off

[versed ferry]

This is why I recognize that electricity is a black magic that is not to be trifiled with

We worship electricity. We do not touch it.

[buoyant bridge]

nah I fw electricity

If it's enough to scare me off there is a very good chance you're not gonna wanna be anywhere near that without having a 20ft pole around your chest and someone ready to pull you by it

Electricity isn't scary if you just. Learn why it does what and do basic research about what you're messing with

though I won't fw anything above 480Y cus after 480Y insulation becomes a suggestion

next step up from 480Y is 7000V single phase line voltage

And realistically I have zero reason to ever touch anything above 480Y

[buoyant bridge]

I've seen a 3500A fuse in person before

bank of 3 277V 3500A fuses in a multi building CT cabinet

[versed ferry]

Way more people than it seems have died from trying to take apart a microwave

all hail electricity

[buoyant bridge]

I have a CT cabinet on my property that takes 277V 3000A fuses actually

And iirc one of my inlet boxes takes 120V 8000A fuses

[buoyant bridge]

well yeah it's a microwave

I'm sure more people died to CRTs in the 1980s and 1990s than did to a CT cabinet

[proper gull]

Can I borrow your power supply

[buoyant bridge]

uhh you'd have to ask DP&L or whatever they rebranded to

I think they're AES now

I have 2 (soon 3) commerical warehouses on my property and several storage buildings that's why I have all this commercial power shit, this isn't an ohh I like electricity setup in a home

[versed ferry]

People take them apart to do fractal wood burning and people have seriously fucked themselves up doing that

Not a hobby I'm keen on

[proper gull]

I just want three phase with enough amps to not be a problem ever

[buoyant bridge]

yeah so that doesn't exist

[proper gull]

Not fucking 32amps

[buoyant bridge]

If you have the money to afford spending on 3 phase you need 3 phase

If you need 3 phase you need more than a 3 phase panel will provide

that's why commercial buildings usually have at minimum 2 panels

120/240 (and sometimes 360) and then a 480Y panel

the split phase panel goes upto like 400A I think and sometimes it can also be 3 phase but still limited to 400A then your 480Y can go up to like 600A I think

need MORE amps somehow? Be prepared to start splitting things across multiple panels, the whole point of a CT cabinet is to connect more than one panel to one meter assembly (and do it safely)

If you think 3 phase 120V at 400A is a lot it's not fyi, the circuits for the exterior lighting and like 20 exterior plugs as well as the 6 circuits for diesel block heaters (nothing else runs on these) fills that panel almost entirely as code allows

[proper gull]

Standard residential connection here is 63amp single or 32amp three phase and while 32 wouldn't be a problem if it was just serving a garage with like a lift, welder and like a basic mill, I'd like air conditioning and it has to serve the house aswell

[buoyant bridge]

standard residential panel here is 200A split phase and 100A split phase in older buildings

[proper gull]

And load across the phases has to be balanced as well as possible so putting the house on one phase off of the main panel isn't allowed either

[buoyant bridge]

though many homes have 200-300A 3 phase 120V panels or higher amp split phase panels

[buoyant bridge]

load balancing isn't much of a thing in the US since US residential panels typically cannot have a single phase overloaded

only older 100A panels even let you do that, newer 200A panels are designed so it's nearly impossible to overload one phase but not the other

Like at my old house I had one side of the panel filled with 240V breakers and it was genuinely unable to overload a single phase even though the other side was all 120 breakers (though this was a 300A panel)

[proper gull]

I wonder what the cost difference is between getting a high amp non standard connection vs just getting high voltage and a dedicated transformer

https://tenor.com/view/big-brain-gif-27108854

[buoyant bridge]

too much to think about

when I had my line run from the pole to the first CT cabinet on the property over a decade ago DP&L charged me so much I had to take out a pretty sizable loan

the mosfets on the right get the hottest and usually make contact with th eheatsink with thermal pads

[placid belfry]

based on what i see it's the inductors that make contact

that's also what makes contact with the thermal pad

[versed ferry]

How high of a hotspot were you getting compared to the GPU itself?

This is with stock paste

If you're getting like 20c hotter that's unusual

[versed ferry]

Yeah damn, that's weird. I'd ask around on Reddit. Someone there might have a better answer. That's definitely hot as hell. Maybe cooler isn't making proper contact? Could be something wrong with the die itself. I don't know. Slather the entire GPU in thermal paste and pray.

[ivory olive]

Yall with hotspot of trying to boil water should maybe try repasting lol.

[merry nest]

likely ram corruption

universe got angry and struck your pc with a fast moving proton which flipped some bits

[versed ferry]

I think it actually was. I used to have a lot of ram issues because I was running ram faster than my motherboard could handle after upgrading ram. Ended up solving it by getting a new motherboard since I didn't want to downclock my ram. I didn't even think about connecting the two, this was awhile ago.

[merry nest]

that reminds me, my ram used to be overlocked to 3533

[versed ferry]

You have no idea how many times I had RDR2 and a couple other games crash before I realize the issue

[merry nest]

i need to configure that again

[ivory olive]

What ram do u have at 3533?

[frigid blade]

It’s probably still erroring

Did you run any benchmarks

[merry nest]

kingston fury beast ddr4

3200

[versed ferry]

Nah the ram was fine. The MOBO could only handle 6000MT/s ram, I was running 6600MT/s ram. I have Karhu Ram Test and Memtest.

I upgraded to a better motherboard.

[merry nest]

yes im still using ddr4 in 2026 and yes im on am4

[frigid blade]

Oh you mean DDR5?

[gritty panther]

I think it's the IMC too. my 9800X3D could do 6200 mt/s same motherboard and RAM. 9950x3d can't do it, fails every test. can only do 6000 mt/s

[merry nest]

its amazing how viable this platform is with just a modern gpu

[frigid blade]

I thought you were talking about DDR4 higher end OC

[versed ferry]

To be fair 6000MT/s is supposed to be the sweet spot for AMD currently

I wish they could take faster ram

[gritty panther]

i've built 3 systems for friends and family last year. all of them did 6000 mt/s 1:1 which is good

but afaik it's not a guarantee. there's a small chance it's not stable

[mellow sonnet]

do intel systems even care as much about ram speeds?

[gritty panther]

yep. they get faster with more speed too

[frigid blade]

Compare Intels max OC to AMD, AMD gets shit on

[gritty panther]

maybe the benefit will be better with their next gen

[frigid blade]

It’s not that AMD has bad memory controllers per se, Intels is just much better

[mellow sonnet]

i noticed no difference going from 5600cl47 to 6000cl36

[gritty panther]

yep much better but intel is still losing even tho AMD is stuck to 6000 mt/s

[versed ferry]

That's my one gripe with AMD. I wish I would have went with them (for various reasons) but I got burned with the 13900k/14900k issues. However if i ever switch to them I'm going to have to downclock my ram since it's 6600MT/s and likely won't run well with AMD. Oh well, at least I have a good kit. I'll probably wait a few years when AM6 eventually releases someday, my CPU should be fine for years.

[frigid blade]

Memory speeds are more about 1% lows IIRC

[gritty panther]

I have a 96gb 6400 kit. downclocked to 6000 lol (1:1)

[mellow sonnet]

my second pc uses a 3200 kit that downclocked to 2400

[frigid blade]

Are you sure you didn’t just have disabled XMP/EXPO?

[mellow sonnet]

there are no ram options

[gritty panther]

afaik it's even less noticeable with X3D

[versed ferry]

Ayyy, similar ram. Mine is a Corsair 96gb 6600 MT/s. It is insane how much ram has raised in price. I thought this kit was expensive when I bought it at $380. Now it's worth $800-$1000~ Can't wait until the ram shortage ends, it's bullshit

[mellow sonnet]

its oem

[gritty panther]

Gamers Nexus did a review of the 9850X3D with their worst kit

[mellow sonnet]

im on intel though

[gritty panther]

still performed well. performance didn't tank unlike when it's on a non-3d v cache cpu

so 3d v cache + shit RAM = fine 😄

[mellow sonnet]

my secondary uses the 9100 so max it can support is 2400

oem too so no ram options and the bios automatically chooses the ram speed

[gritty panther]

yep. I only got mine for $260 11 months ago lol

[mellow sonnet]

the ram situation is crazy

[gritty panther]

RAM prices went crazy all of a sudden. tbh people always tell me I'm crazy for always getting a lot of RAM (my last system has 128gb DDR4)

[mellow sonnet]

i got my 32gb kit for 105 euros

now its worth 500

[gritty panther]

I was fortunate enough to keep the ddr4 RAM too lol. I didnt sell it. I put it inside my server

[mellow sonnet]

mines ddr5

secondary uses ddr4 because duh

[gritty panther]

I would've gotten 192GB DDR5 if AMD's IMC wasn't shit

[valid fiber]

same

[gritty panther]

I downgraded from 128gb ddr4 to 96gb ddr5. I honeslty didn't like that

[mellow sonnet]

ram

havent seen anyone actually use those sodimm to dimm adapters

did they lose interest??

[gritty panther]

RAM is not stable with 6400 mt/s but I'm not stressing out about it too much. afaik 96gb kits don't really go that fast so I should be happy with 6000

[mellow sonnet]

do people just prefer going ddr4 or something

[valid fiber]

DDR4 was and is just cheaper than DDR5

[gritty panther]

then after a while DDR5 got cheaper

then AI bs happened. here we are at present time

[mellow sonnet]

remember when people complained ddr5 was more expensive few years back?

[gritty panther]

I was able to get my 96gb 6400 cl32 kit for $269.99

it was very cheap 11 months ago

[versed ferry]

Real. Reason I went with 96GB instead of 128GB or whatever is just because I only wanted two ram sticks. I'm on Intel but I know ram can be more unstable in general with 4 sticks (depending on the task and whatnot) and I just didn't want to deal with it. I have more ram than I need for what I do and it's in two sticks. It's fine.

[mellow sonnet]

or that ddr5 had barely any difference

those people who bought ddr4 systems back then now rip their hair out

[gritty panther]

I honestly thought I would regret the decision. got impatient and got 96gb kit. a friend told me wait a little bit more for "cheaper" 2-stick 128gb kits. that didn't happen lol

[valid fiber]

at the end of 2023 when i build my PC it got 128GB ddr4 for about 200€

[gritty panther]

I think I also got my 128gb 3200 DDR4 for $250+ around that time as well.

around the same. math is mathing

[mellow sonnet]

im pretty sure the ddr4 ram in my second pc now costs more than the pc itself

i really bought ts at the best time

[solar river]

can yall help me solve my indecisiveness, i WAS gonna build custom but the ram decided to just... yea, so is this gonna be a better deal?

[twilit ember]

whats yalls fav weight placement in the g502 hero?

[solar river]

sgd btw if thats important

[mellow sonnet]

2k for a 7500f cro

thats crazy

[silk sun]

which is better the msi mag a650bn or the corsair cx650? please eleborate when you answer

[gritty panther]

do you have a microcenter near you?

I don't know if you know. the 7800x3d bundle is on sale

[bold olive]

its kind of ironic to say that a wireless mouse is more reliable than a wired mouse

idk why its true for me

[gritty panther]

you have a lot of money left for other parts if you're spending $2000

[solar river]

nah sg doesnt have

[mellow sonnet]

i think thats bs

[solar river]

microcentre

[versed ferry]

Do you actually do stuff that requires 128GB? I can only speak for myself but I rarely do anything that requires it personally.

[bold olive]

all of the pcs in display in my vicinity that i saw only had 1 stick of ram 😭

[mellow sonnet]

a wire will last you longer than the batteries on a wireless

[solar river]

idk dude if i build custom i think it might js end up similarly priced with ram rn and this has 3y warranty

[bold olive]

well it isnt for some shitty rog mouse

[gritty panther]

tbh not much on my desktop PC with 96gb but my homeserver/NAS with 64gb that runs proxmox. a lot of RAM is pretty much needed for multiple VM's

[mellow sonnet]

rog 😐

[bold olive]

i swear it disconnects its mouse inputs for no reason

[boreal tiger]

Have you guys heard of a foot long hotdog 🌭

[mellow sonnet]

do people genuinely pay for asus things?

[bold olive]

and the side buttons and rgb still work

[mellow sonnet]

well its asus

[bold olive]

it will be my last

[mellow sonnet]

how is that surprising

[gritty panther]

I mean I really enjoy my OG ROG Ally

it's almost 3 years old I still can't put it down

[bold olive]

the wireless mouse is from logitech

[bold olive]

so its more reliable💀

[mellow sonnet]

i refuse to buy asus products

[gritty panther]

I will do my TIM applications this way starting today lol

[versed ferry]

Yeah that's basically what I use the most ram for but I tend to only run 1 VM at a time. They're more for curiosity and messing around. Not a power user

[mellow sonnet]

my board alone is an asus child in denial known as asrock

[gritty panther]

that's your choice. ASUS isn't the only one. tbh they all equally suck

[mellow sonnet]

asrock makes better things than asus

[bold olive]

its the only asus thing on my desk

[gritty panther]

I honestly can't think of a company that's head and shoulders above the rest

I dont trust any of these fuckers.

[bold olive]

legit my pc is anything but asus

[mellow sonnet]

i prefer msi

[gritty panther]

maybe Valve?

[bold olive]

head and shoulders is a shampoo brand

[bold olive]

gigabyte on top

[mellow sonnet]

gigglebyte

[bold olive]

for gpus

[gritty panther]

yea I have dandruff that's why I like using that metaphor lol

[bold olive]

YOU GOT IT

YESSSSS

[mellow sonnet]

my gpu is a msi brotato

[bold olive]

a gt card?

[mellow sonnet]

gt my ass

[bold olive]

gtx

[gritty panther]

the normal stuff doesnt even work for me. I have to buy the clinical strength head and shoulders that's Orange not the usual green color lol

[bold olive]

i thought its usually blue

[gritty panther]

oh yea blue im colorblind? lol

[mellow sonnet]

nuh uh

[bold olive]

'brotato'

[mellow sonnet]

brotato

[gritty panther]

last gen gpu's ftw

[bold olive]

gulp

[mellow sonnet]

thy should search mine up

its that funny one

[bold olive]

gddr7 does not help to fight a 4080s

[bold olive]

💀

[gritty panther]

my 4090 is a veteran. Ive had it for 3+ years now. thousands of hours under his belt. hasn't melted yet 😄

[bold olive]

which 4090?

[gritty panther]

gigabyte Gaming OC. I got it because it's the cheapest on microcenter

[bold olive]

o

[gritty panther]

Im the type to just buy the cheapest one I can get my hands on

[bold olive]

its the ventus series btw

[gritty panther]

Im not picky like that.

[bold olive]

no aorus bullshit

ds3h works fine

[gritty panther]

I mean if it's on sale I'll get it. depends on the deal. I'm too cheap to pay a premium

I like paying at msrp or close to it.

[bold olive]

welcome to my world

it has to be below msrp to be justifiable

[versed ferry]

Just plug that cable in real good and don't bend em

[gritty panther]

below msrp turns me on /j

[versed ferry]

And then pray

[gritty panther]

I treat mine like fine china. I don't touch it AT ALL

3 years later. so far so good.

[bold olive]

i was able to get my pc cuz it was on a fixed price when the memory shortage started

[bold olive]

good good (says the person who almost bricked his 5060ti twice during oc)

[silk sun]

is there a realistic difference between the deepcool ag200, ag300 and ag400?

[gritty panther]

having a 4090 and asrock motherboard + X3D isn't a good feeling

[versed ferry]

Same. I have a 3090ti which also takes the 12VPWR cable (just without the top four pins). I have never heard of the thing melting on a 3090ti, but I wasn't going to fuck around and find out. Luckily the EVGA 3090ti has the power connector on the side rather than the front.

[gritty panther]

i feel like my PC has a small chance of offing itself

so far so good. Gaben bless my PC

[bold olive]

i dont see anything wrong

unless the asrock is a baseline motherboard

[versed ferry]

https://tenor.com/view/gaben-cave-johnson-potato-phone-gabe-newell-gif-27410220

[gritty panther]

asrock boards have been reported to kill A LOT of X3D cpu's. I was paranoid for the first 4-5 months but I started to trust it after 11 months lol

[bold olive]

dont tell me you bought a taichi motherboard

[mellow sonnet]

me when asrock board on intel

[gritty panther]

X870 Pro RS Wifi

[bold olive]

funny how my gigabyte motherboard has x3d turbo mode but without an x3d chip

[bold olive]

gulp gulp

im on an 'a' am5 chipset

the brackets hint

[gritty panther]

I was worried, updating the bios almost every new one

[mellow sonnet]

beastly

[gritty panther]

I got bored after 6+ months. I started getting comfortable

I havent updated the bios since August if I remember correctly

[gritty panther]

Degraded CPU oh no /s

[mellow sonnet]

it survived it

[cold skiff]

3.38% of gamers on steam run Linux now. Wow. So less people game on Linux than own an AMD gpu. And 3x the amount of Intel GPU owners

[gritty panther]

tbh probably 3.35% are inactive steamdecks lol

[mellow sonnet]

i have no instability

[cold skiff]

Apparently 2% is steam deck

[mellow sonnet]

the linux numbers wont raise above 20% in the next 5 years

[cold skiff]

The 1.3% is desktop

[gritty panther]

omg it's even worse than I thought. I was joking!

[floral sigil]

i got Linux at least

[cold skiff]

20%? You think it will get that high

[mellow sonnet]

it wont

[gritty panther]

1.3% and they're the VERY LOUD minority 😄

[mellow sonnet]

there is no way

[mellow sonnet]

oh yeah the linux community is questionable

[cold skiff]

Linux users are like vegans. You won’t need to ask them, they’ll tell you they use it

[gritty panther]

nothing against Linux users here but most of them makes you think they're better than everyone else lol

[bold olive]

idiot me who is picking a desktop for the first time initially picked this cpu and a 5060, cuz i was traumatized by how weak and bottlenecked my laptop cpu was

[cold skiff]

Most people using Linux use it for servers/work

[floral sigil]

by the way, why there are no more brand new AMD Prism coolers???

[cold skiff]

Cost cutting

[valid fiber]

i hate windows and linux equally for different reasons

[cold skiff]

Also no one fucking likes them, they go in the bin

[mellow sonnet]

its not a bad choice if you do cpu heavy things

[bold olive]

they're not vegans if they managed to enter tty1 by accident

bricking their gui

[gritty panther]

Windows is the most familiar OS on the world. I honestly don't stress about it as much as 90% of the people on the internet

Windows works for me. When I click discord it launches, when I click steam it opens up just fine

[bold olive]

they stay humble after solving tty1

[mellow sonnet]

i only like when linux has the windows like environment

[gritty panther]

I dont really get any issues lol.

[mellow sonnet]

i used mint and its fine but lacks animations

next i want to try zorin

[bold olive]

my mouse doesnt respond and my rgb is off when i read this and glanced over my mouse

linux didnt have the problems

the only problems is configuring the rgb

[bold olive]

really? i try to escape from it

[mellow sonnet]

"but it has ai!!!!" - some linux freak probably

i use copilot like daily

[bold olive]

i went ubuntu

[gritty panther]

that sounds like more of a you problem. RGB on mouse, that's foreign to me as a wireless mice user lol

[mellow sonnet]

its fun tbf

[bold olive]

the rgb on the mouse is customizable

but openrgb doesnt detect my motherboard and therefore my ram and case fan rgb

[mellow sonnet]

my mouse has no rgb because why would i need rgb on something thats covered by a hand

[gritty panther]

yea kinda silly but I dont knock on people that like it

maybe if it's wired it's fine. unlimited power anyway

[mellow sonnet]

only my kb has rgb but i set it to dim white

in my pc nothing has rgb except the board

[gritty panther]

my nzxt keyboard has stupid amounts of RGB but I got it for free. not gonna complain. Free is best one. I'm actually sponsored by NZXT. they send me free stuff sometimes

[mellow sonnet]

and that one is ALSO set to dim white

[gritty panther]

tldr: I have a goofy looking anime/weeb PC with an old NZXT case. some nzxt guy saw it and asked for pictures. he's given me free stuf like keyboard/mouse, mousepads and their mascot plushie lol. I know NZXT doesnt have the best rep right not but they're nice to me so I like em lol

[mellow sonnet]

my case is nzxt

barely fits space for a decent gpu

[gritty panther]

you can get crucified in 2026 just for having a NZXT case

[mellow sonnet]

the fact mine fits is because its one of shortest

[gritty panther]

they dont have the best rep right now. understable with the gamers nexus expose

[bold olive]

its a wired mouse and somehow fails on windows only

[gritty panther]

but they're nice to me for no reason so I forgave them easy lol

[bold olive]

it only works reliably in linux

[thorny galleon]

your connections must be insane

[trim schooner]

problem fixed from yesterday

[valid fiber]

i got a frankenstein pc

[gritty panther]

my nzxt connection is weak. promised me a new case over a year ago. hasn't contacted me ever since

Im too shy to message them lol i dont want to come off as a beggar

[thorny galleon]

is that meant to be a diy mora?
