[mint umbra]

I spend like a hour trying to get windows in grub

[rain ember]

grub sucks

use limine for the autodetect

[tidal geyser]

If cachy package manager does not have a program use octopi

[mint umbra]

Well I never even heard of octopi till now

[rain ember]

so its a user issue?

[mint umbra]

I was told use bazzer

[rain ember]

and i said it before like 8 times

[tidal geyser]

Octopi+bazzar

[rain ember]

bazzar*

[mint umbra]

Whatever

[rain ember]

just go back to windows

the linux way clearly isnt for you

package managers exist to be used

[mint umbra]

Well feel like I have to atleast try since during the process I accidentally deleted my windows

So my windows in fresh windows install now lol

[rain ember]

just go back to windows

[tidal falcon]

Leave them alone

[rain ember]

if you cant handle basic computer literacy linux isnt for you right now

well atleast arch based distros

[mint umbra]

I said was going to do fedora at first but ppl kept telling me to use catchy

[rain ember]

fedora needs the terminal more?

[tidal falcon]

Fedora is worse than catchy, trust me I use it on my laptop lol

[rain ember]

yikeys

i used both for a while

[tidal falcon]

Mainline arch is better 🥀

[mint umbra]

Idk saw YouTube videos saying it's noob friendly

[tidal geyser]

Because bazzite use it, it has to be friendly

[rain ember]

It is if you can read a wiki or figure out how to use a simple easy ass gui

[tidal falcon]

If you do try another distro and don't wanna touch a cli use Linux mint debian edition, lmde, you don't have to touch the terminal if you don't feel like it at all

It auto detects your windows install too

No need to fuck with grub

You can go to websites and just download a .Deb file and click on it and it'll install

[tidal geyser]

Tbf he managed to corrupt his first install

[mint umbra]

Also when I tried using open deck for my stream deck and tryed downloading plugins said it couldn't find wine on system when I downloaded it moments earlier

[rain ember]

how

[tidal geyser]

Ask his computer

[rain ember]

why how why when it isnt that hard

[tidal falcon]

Even I haven't managed to do that yet

Impressive

[tidal geyser]

Ventoy+new iso fixed it from what I can tell

[mint umbra]

I didn't end up using ventoy

[tidal falcon]

You mean he deleted his windows install

[mint umbra]

Had it downloaded

But tried Rufus one last time

[tidal geyser]

Well in meant iso

[mint umbra]

Well I think on my last download I picked wrong ssd

And over wrote my windows lmao

[tidal geyser]

Why did I ever think this was worth a tryb

[mint umbra]

They both the same name ssd bruh hard to tell the difference

[rain ember]

this is why we dont reccomend any linux distros so they do some research first

[tidal geyser]

Wanted to be like a bird throwing it's child out of the nest so they could finally fly

[rain ember]

lol u wish

[tidal falcon]

Wah

[tidal geyser]

But yeah no amd drivers on windows are still ehhhh sometimes

[mint umbra]

Idk what you expected from me

[rain ember]

any research

[mint umbra]

I mean I watched a couple videos

On install process

And stuff

[rain ember]

that isnt research

[tidal falcon]

My 7900gre pulls a nice 70w on idle on 10 iot ltsc

[tidal geyser]

That is why I'm selling mine

[tidal falcon]

Smh yes it is

[tidal geyser]

My desktop watching windows is 200w idle

[mint umbra]

I learn better from videos explaining not reading a wall of text on a wiki

[tidal falcon]

Woah that's an issue

[tidal geyser]

Same here but I can still google

[rain ember]

if u cant read a wiki dont use an arch based distro

[tidal geyser]

What distro to use then

[tidal falcon]

If you can't live don't use life

[tidal geyser]

All distros have the same issue he has

[tidal falcon]

Lmde

[mint umbra]

I did use Google

[rain ember]

nothing xd

[rain ember]

the ai one doesnt count

[tidal geyser]

Even windows needs some

[tidal falcon]

[tidal geyser]

Did you search up your controller and try using it in Xbox mode?

[mint umbra]

I looked it up and ppl saying that on Linux Xbox mode doesn't work

On my controller

[tidal geyser]

First link

[mint umbra]

I tried switching to Xbox mode mate

It didn't work

It stays in dual shock 4 mode

And I even tried different controllers

Had same problem

[rain ember]

everything but researching

[mint umbra]

With no inputs working

[tidal geyser]

Why does it work for others then even on windows

[mint umbra]

I can change to Xbox mode fine on windows

[tidal falcon]

Fuck they did

[rain ember]

nope?

[tidal falcon]

How uhhh tolerant is auto mod in here

[peak swan]

Someone somehow deactivated the school laptop

[tidal falcon]

Yope

[rain ember]

strict

[tidal falcon]

Sad

[rain ember]

now we must put linux on it xd

[tidal falcon]

Bios prob has a password

Try anyway tho

[peak swan]

I mean the bios has never been locked in em soo

[mint umbra]

Well enough about that not like I'm home to even troubleshooy anyway

So pointless to even talk about it further

[tidal geyser]

yes

[tidal falcon]

Do et

[peak swan]

But I don't have a USB stick on me soo..

[cold skiff]

25H2 update did this to us at work

[peak swan]

Plus I already tried once and just triggered bitlocker
Not that it matters lol

[bold olive]

kind of hard to think that a couple years ago, anything past 144hz is for someone who has a 3090, and yet i casually own a 210hz monitor with a 60 class card

[formal sonnet]

Looks like a Dell Latitude 7410 or 7420 model. Also, nice. Time to contact School IT.

[mint umbra]

Windows just works so I'll stick with it for now maybe I'll try again later who knows

[bold olive]

if i recall it can be done remotely

[peak swan]

This thing still has 24h2

[mint umbra]

Always such a pain redownlaoding everything on fresh install

And need to re enable secure boot

[cold skiff]

Should ask chatgpt how to do it

[mint umbra]

You acting like I use ai for everything

[stoic nova]

Preferable to discord users tbh

[cold skiff]

Every time you’re here and ask a question, you’ve already used chatgpt for it and still here asking the question. I’d say you use it for everything

[mint umbra]

I didn't use ai for anything aside for when the install didn't work

Rest was google/Reddit threads

[peak swan]

Actually this may be the laptop I triggered bitlocker on last year and it finally came back from it
Because it doesn't have the new windows user config thingy

[stoic nova]

Wow they must really suck at it

[mint umbra]

That's just not true

[peak swan]

Like previously logged in users now don't show on the lock screen but here they do, which was the previous behavior

[mint umbra]

I hardly use ai

[stoic nova]

I get we've been conditioned by search engines to use key works only but those chatbots are polar opposite man

[mint umbra]

Just making shit up saying I use ai all the time

[cold skiff]

It’s not the using it I find amusing, it’s your trust in it

[mint umbra]

Mate I used it like a couple times and making a huge deal out of t

[cold skiff]

I’m not your mate

[mint umbra]

Idc

I call everyone mate

[stoic nova]

$10 says hes not even an Aussie

[cold skiff]

2 days ago you asked about Linux dual boot alongside windows. Saying chatgpt couldn’t help you. Discord is a search engine told you to nuke and start again. The correct answer and you ignored him

[stoic nova]

Damocles seems to get more pleasure out of yapping into the void than anything actually positive

[ebon marlin]

Someone had donated a fully functional Rog Strix X570-E board to our recycling center lmao

[cold skiff]

Chatgpdamocles

[tidal falcon]

Holy shit nice

[mint umbra]

Well I'm done with this conversation

[ebon marlin]

Didn't you say many months ago you used chatgpt like alotlot

[mint umbra]

No

[tidal geyser]

WTF why do i need to pay for it when it just gets it

[tidal falcon]

Sorry Abt the assholes, you went through all the right steps they just got shit for brains

[ebon marlin]

You were arguing that AI is bad meanwhile you said you were using chatgpt basically religiously

[ebon marlin]

I don't think you know Damocles like that lmao

[tidal falcon]

Sad

[ebon marlin]

Yeah ur a newbie here

[mint umbra]

I've used it maybe 50 times in general half of the times was just for food recipes

[stoic nova]

If Damocles prompts chatgpt anything like he talks to us it's no surprise it always hallucinating

[tidal falcon]

I didn't know they had a discord tbh

[mint umbra]

Y'all are just toxic

[tidal falcon]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/722784852214153266/1463768053861974016/IMG_1005.gif

[ebon marlin]

We explained this last year aswell no one is being toxic

[mint umbra]

And get a kick out of being a bully

[ebon marlin]

No one is also a bully just like we told you last year

[tidal falcon]

The one dude was kinda being an ass but

[ebon marlin]

Eh when dealing with Damocles it's also understandable

Damocles is Netanyahu's greatest warrior in ragebaiting

[mint umbra]

Y'all so negative for anything I say even if it's genuine question

Sorry I'm not some tech wiz who knows everything

[stoic nova]

UFC Match up of the decade

[tidal falcon]

Anyone use hyprland or has used it in the past

[cold skiff]

Damocles you are rattled

[ebon marlin]

6 days ago lmfao

[mint umbra]

Idk what that even means

[stoic nova]

Yeah for a good year and on and off.

[tidal falcon]

Ah

[cold skiff]

This will absolutely rattle him. He might even rage quit from it

[mint umbra]

Yes I use ai to look things up doesn't mean I use it alot

[tidal falcon]

Have you ever used a vertical secondary monitor with it

[mint umbra]

I just was saying ai can be useful

I never said I use it all the turn

Time

[cold skiff]

You use AI more times than I have a piss in the day. I’m in my 30s, I piss a lot

[stark flicker]

It can be useful when you have the IQ of the chair I'm sitting on

[stoic nova]

I did. But not for long. Ultrawide primary monitor and using your scratchpad / special workspace eliminated the need for it

[mint umbra]

But whatever fits your agenda

[ebon marlin]

You have over 300 messages of you mentioning AI and quite a big chunk of it is you using it

https://tenor.com/view/cat-axolotl-meme-ai-ai-slop-gif-320631449476692671

[mint umbra]

300 over like 30k messages isn't alot

[tidal falcon]

I'm having an issue where I can't move my cursor or windows between my two monitors, the only way to get my cursor and applications is to switch to my third virtual desktop but the first and second and fourth are all related to my main monitor somehow

For some reason nobody else is having this issue, no matter how many 10 year old Reddit threads I look through and wikis I read

[stoic nova]

Can I see your hypr.conf

[tidal falcon]

It's all default besides a couple app launch keybinds and this

[ebon marlin]

It's racist to have white P12 reverse fans in stock but not black ones

[tidal falcon]

Actually that isn't even what I ended up doing but the monitors both work and did work but randomly I couldn't move my cursor between them

Lemme get on my PC and get a new ss

[peak swan]

Finnish spotted

[tidal falcon]

my gpu fans are spinning up for 0 reason, something is wrong, gotta shut my pc off and figure that out later too

[tidal geyser]

checked temps?

[tidal falcon]

its at 0% usage and temps are fine

im not even using it to display out

im using my igpu

[tidal falcon]

if i didnt have two monitors this wouldnt even be an issue lollll

oop now its virtual desktop #1 somehow to switch to my secondary monitor wtf why did it change

[mint umbra]

Idk guess I'll try Linux one more time tmw

But prob better off just not using my stream deck with it since it seems of software isn't detecting that I have wine

The bigger issue will be trying to get controller to work

[tidal falcon]

seems like its an arch problem, shits doing stuff for no reason even on kde

no its also doing it on lmde, it may be my motherboard

[mint umbra]

Well I'll try switching the modes and stuff on controller again and look up again on how to do it but pretty sure I was pressing the right imputs but maybe not

[tidal falcon]

Seems like it wasn't having fun managing my igpu

[mint umbra]

I'm sad next gen GPUs got delayed really wanted a 60 series card in like 2027 or so

Like I don't hate my GPU but some games would like better rt

[tidal geyser]

9070 xt

[mint umbra]

Well wanted nvda card for dlss as well guess I should haven mentioned that too

My bad

Well think I've decided if I can't get catchy working by the end weekend I'll just switch to mint for easier experience

[ebon marlin]

The goat himself

[bold olive]

@tidal geyser are you on your desktop running linux rn

[versed ferry]

https://tenor.com/view/zaunvi-caitvitwt-gif-1251875630135871970

[tidal falcon]

Welp I fixed my problem by nuking my config file and just not making the monitor vertical or changing positioning at all

[ivory mountain]

5070ti is the only meaningful upgrade over a 9070xt and that is a minimum of $250 more

[tidal falcon]

Not like vertical part matters anyway just looked cool

[teal sphinx]

is my cpu just crap if it is failing prime95 with just pbo on?

[quasi moat]

Shit you don’t wanna see my gpt/Sora library then

[ornate harbor]

Whats the best free GPU/CPU benchmark tool

[quasi moat]

Furmark gpu
Cinebench cpu

[quasi moat]

^

[ornate harbor]

Thanks

[quasi moat]

Best? Idk. Most common. Without a doubt

[ivory mountain]

i just use 3dmark timespy demo on steam

[ivory mountain]

furmark is just a heatdump

[quasi moat]

I got hypnotized last time I ran it

All of a sudden ram prices seemed normal

[tidal geyser]

No

Im outside in the cold holding a air max light beam ac

[mint umbra]

Eh feel likes it's too late tho prices are going up hella

[ivory mountain]

thats why they recommended the 9070xt cause itll stay under 800usd

[ebon marlin]

@tidal geyser

Tell me how to vandalize a mobo so it could also be repaired easily later

I'm thinking fucking up a bios update but this fucker also has bios flashback

Hello winbond bios chip

[solid quail]

This thing has been sitting on the shelf now for months. Picked it up for free in august, but never ended up using it for a build

[ornate harbor]

Tuff

[solid quail]

Might sell it tbh. Idk the prices of z370 boards and coffee lake chips these days. Two yyears ago they were a lil below 200. Gonna just list it at like 120 and say "price very negotiable"

Live love free hardware

[mellow sonnet]

i want to collect gpus

[solid quail]

I've gotten rid of most of mine. Had a lot of 1060s, 1660s and a few 20 series cards at one point

[mellow sonnet]

i was thinking about collecting flagships from various years

including the rtx titan

[solid quail]

I think the fastest I had was like a 3070. Thought I'd use it in my main PC, but since I don't play any of the heavier titles, it made more sense to throw the 1070 in the main rig and use the 3070 in a build I sold a few years ago

[mellow sonnet]

i got 2 old flagships in mind i want to test and its the 780ti and 980ti

[solid quail]

980ti was pretty nice. 780ti idk, but the 780 was pretty sluggish in anything remotely modern

I do have an hd 7970 matrix platinum in my collection tho

Will not be getting rid of that

[mellow sonnet]

980ti is forgotten

[solid quail]

It's apparently also on the techpowerup list of rare GPUs

[mellow sonnet]

the reason why i want to get my hands on old flagships is because i couldnt get them when they were new

[solar moat]

i daily gtx 970

[ivory mountain]

i didnt get them because i was 5 turning 6 when the 980ti came out 💀

wait no my math is way off

7 turning 8 💀 im 17 now

[mellow sonnet]

oh yeah 2015

i was like 11

[mellow sonnet]

i would like to have the rtx titan just to really test how good was the first rt capable beast

[ivory mountain]

daily toasty bros funni

[stray portal]

Who is this toasty blud

[stray portal]

Well he is kinda right on the low end cards amd beats out nvidia in ray tracing

[tidal geyser]

Not really much you can do

[mellow sonnet]

race bait

[stray portal]

No im not 😡

[gritty panther]

because it's old and washed up lol

[mellow sonnet]

so is the 1080ti

yet it gets all the credit

[gritty panther]

yep the 2080 Ti too

they're all old

[mellow sonnet]

1080ti gets most praise

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1277357627671707739/1279943764630179880/caption.gif

[gritty panther]

maybe 5 years ago?

Ive moved on from the 1080 Ti years ago

[mellow sonnet]

it still does for some reason

[gritty panther]

I had 3 of those back in the day

[mint umbra]

Think for next PC I'm doing air cooler

[mellow sonnet]

ts annoying

[mint umbra]

Liquid cooling is overpriced

[gritty panther]

I havent thought about the 1080 Ti in years. maybe it's only you /j

[mellow sonnet]

i mean they seem to have stopped recently but if you look on shorts comments its always the 1080ti

[gritty panther]

no clue. maybe it's the content you watch/youtube algorithm

that's not the case for me lol

who cares about the 1080 ti in 2026 lol

[mellow sonnet]

these idiots

those who do

[gritty panther]

I mean you're one of the people that mentioned it lol

[unique aspen]

pov november 2026

[ivory mountain]

[gritty panther]

1080 Ti was very good during it's time. it's respected but it sucks in 2026

why would you even buy a 9 year old gpu lol

[mellow sonnet]

praising a gpu that is out of support

[tidal falcon]

I have one of those laying around, pos ngl, pny sucks at making coolers

[mellow sonnet]

a gpu that lacks any modern tech

[ivory mountain]

b-b-b-b--b-b-bbut it beats a 3060 in raw performance !!!11!

[tidal falcon]

2080ti itself is great tho

[gritty panther]

yawn time for games

[tidal falcon]

Just loud and can't overclock and has no backplate

[gritty panther]

oh man it beats a 5 year old low end!!! what an achievement!!

[mellow sonnet]

i swear dude 1080ti glazers are scared of spending money

[ivory mountain]

i have been i woke up at 2 idk why 💔

[mellow sonnet]

most of them probably run am4

like a 3600

[gritty panther]

1:36AM here in LA. I slept at a weird time now im here

there's a lot of weirdos at the middle of the night /j

[mellow sonnet]

lost angeles

[solar moat]

the am4 cpu like 3600x/5600x over 3600 run 2:1:X by defalt but if you maunal set fclk/uclk offen around 3800 limit for 1:1:1

but then there the cpus like r5 5500 they can run way higher in 1:1:1

Well today will try to get catchyos to work with secure boot

That will be the goal today along with getting my controller inputs working

Was a bit too emotional earlier saying I was gunna quit using after just one day

[solid quail]

Seems like a huge population of this server were 5 or less back then lol

[mellow sonnet]

sounds about right

Like most of the people wouldn't understand if I were to say that the house era was peak ltt

[mint umbra]

I didn't get into PC building till I was in my 20s

[placid belfry]

i used to play delta force, one of the suggested fixes was disabling secure boot

no clue how boot affects a game

[warm anvil]

hi chat

[mint umbra]

Hi

[warm anvil]

It's just some games need secure boot to work cause of their anticheat

Pretty sure tf2 does that

[placid belfry]

ah but they recommended disabling it to work better the game mods

[warm anvil]

Ohh

Why does it feel like my OLED monitor gets dirtier faster than my ips on monitor thats my 2nd monitor

[tidal geyser]

glossy

[mint umbra]

So glossy coatings attract more dust

[placid belfry]

not attract

[mint umbra]

Easier to see it ?

[placid belfry]

that

[mint umbra]

I see

[placid belfry]

wall paint same logic

glossy paint = every imperfect comes out

nothing blends

[mint umbra]

Idk might go back to matte coating

Im wondering, I keep seeing these Asus vivobook laptops with a core i9

the price seems low for such a CPU why?

not that I wanna buy, Im just wondering

[tidal geyser]

no?

its seems quite high considering it aint great

[tall sandal]

also this CPU, I dont see many laptops with it

few people talk abt it

[tall sandal]

is it not good

[gaunt spade]

is the vivobook oled not a good model?

[tidal geyser]

there are many many many vivobook models

[tidal geyser]

xd it has the same amount of cores as my 12700h

[tidal geyser]

power hungry for ok performance

[gaunt spade]

what about the 2022 i7 1260p mode

[tidal geyser]

igpu is ok but nothing to brag about

[tidal geyser]

send full model everything

[tall sandal]

ahh I see

[tidal geyser]

[tall sandal]

what about core U9 285H

[gaunt spade]

flow?

[tidal geyser]

[tidal geyser]

decent cpu good nuf igpu and so on

[gaunt spade]

[tidal geyser]

something at least intel V

[tall sandal]

yk that doesnt stutter

[placid belfry]

[tidal geyser]

anything since zen 3 should be fine

[gaunt spade]

It's 30€ for a 3 pack normally so 10€ per fan

Also this is P12 Pro I don't know much it differentiates from regular P12's

Oh my god they spin fast

[ebon marlin]

Eh makes sense I couldn't old P12's it's because they do not exist

[placid belfry]

i personally hate hp tho

[ebon marlin]

The store only has regular single P12 argb's no 3 pack

And single p12 price is same as the P12 Pro 3pack

[placid belfry]

no i mean look into the rabbithole of p12 rgb worse than non-rgb p12

it's hidden knowledge conspiracy theory

[ebon marlin]

I know I'm aware

It's a very very very old thing

[placid belfry]

k cuz i read p12 pro

[ebon marlin]

Pro max

[placid belfry]

does it list noise in db

[ebon marlin]

Hmm 25db

Man it's sad how Sony never made any plans to make a ps vita 2 5 years after the vita died

[bold olive]

condensation on my cpu fan yay

i love living in southeast asia

[valid fiber]

is humidity that high?

[bold olive]

yes

[valid fiber]

still surprised that there is condensation that usually only happens at sub ambient temps and the CPU fan should not have that problem

[north thicket]

anyone know why i hgave 2 wifis in task manager

[bold olive]

on off air conditioning use

the ambient temps change

[valid fiber]

i got 2 ethernet because virtualbox added one when installing drivers for some reason
i gues it's something similar for you

[tidal geyser]

dual band

its 2.4 and 5ghz

[north thicket]

sometimes it just disappears though everytime i restart

[tidal geyser]

its meant to do that

[north thicket]

oh ok thank you!

[tidal geyser]

look at what i just bought for 100$

[thorny galleon]

The QC on those is terrible. Aside from that, if you manage to get a good one it is really cheap.

[placid belfry]

what is qc

[thorny galleon]

quality control

[placid belfry]

[thorny galleon]

???

Arctic got some really questionable quality control.

Their design choices also never fail to disappoint me.

[thin bloom]

does it work still and wtf happened to it?

[latent pasture]

still wins cuz u get more

[sinful cobalt]

they skip on qc so their fans are cheap af

[quasi moat]

My arctic 360 aio is p damn good

9800x3d

[latent pasture]

performs abt 90% as good as the noctua
even with the most abhorrent qc on earth and 4/5 failures, it would still be worth it

[foggy ivy]

holy shit bro these temps are nutty

[valid fiber]

i generally don't like AIO's if anything breaks you can't fix it

[thorny galleon]

Fr genius cost cutting technique. Gotta have that confidence sometimes.

[gritty panther]

afaik they're very similar at 800-1200 rpm

[thorny galleon]

Is that seriously what they do? I really wouldn't be surprised.

[gritty panther]

P12 Pro numba one

[thorny galleon]

P12 Pros are better when it comes to static pressure. When you actually look at airflow and noise normalizes it, Noctua smokes it.

[gritty panther]

I bought a 3 pack P14 ARGB. one of them started making funny noises a few hours later

I emailed Arctic. they sent me a replacement right away

I put some Oil on the "broken" fan. the one I use with my 3D printers. It fixed it 100%

[thorny galleon]

Phankteks m25g2 should have better airflow and hella cheap too.

[gritty panther]

now I have four P14 fans for the price of 3

[sleek ibex]

Don't the ARGB arctics have the same blade design as the Max fans?

[latent pasture]

yes, i hope the 7.5x more expensive fan will smoke it

otherwise that is beyond embarassing

[gritty panther]

it really doesnt lol

they're very similar.

[thorny galleon]

I mean, how much can you do with fans in the first place? I also dropped another budget alternative right after.

[gritty panther]

Thermalright fans for like $2-3 a pop isn't too bad at slower speeds too

[thorny galleon]

Dam oiled it up 💀

Good stuff

[gritty panther]

it's the good stuff too. superlube that I use for my 3D printers

probably some worker forgot to lube it

[thorny galleon]

Fr they're amazing. I need to stay on their good side. Been trying to convince a rep to give me a pallet of AXP90-x47 CU.

[gritty panther]

thermalright fans are enough for everyone. tune your fans people. 800rpm is all you need tbh

[ivory mountain]

thermalpeak fans

[gritty panther]

loud computers piss me off lol

please tune your fans ty

[latent pasture]

bbbut 15 years of "85c is bad" rhetoric 👉👈😳

[neon kiln]

I'm definitely getting scammed on tiktok

[gritty panther]

if a Mac Mini can be dead silent. us PC enthusiasts can do better with much bigger case and bigger fans

[ivory mountain]

i have 10 fans, my 120mms are at 35% and my 140's are at 28% static, completely silent, my ram fan is at 100 tho but its 2000rpm so its not loud

arctic p12/p14 pros

[gritty panther]

please dont run the fans at max. I will punch you

[valid fiber]

I'm also using some cheap fans 5 for about 27€ and they have done a good job in the last 2 years

[gritty panther]

smaller fans run fast but not loud hehe

I think my 60mm RAM fans runs a little fast too but it's inaudible

[valid fiber]

I'm just run my fans with 5v instead for 12v and i can't hear them at all

[bold olive]

big case, big noctua fans and use an older nh d15 or u14s

[gritty panther]

then runs fan at max

[thorny galleon]

I've got 14 fans and my CPU still overheats 😭

[gritty panther]

I hate those builds lol

[bold olive]

proper use of pwm

[ivory mountain]

Ass cooler ig

[sleek ibex]

I wonder if anyone here remember Eloop fans

[gritty panther]

my 140mm fans run at 800 rpm. 3 nF-a12 x25 at 1050RPM

[bold olive]

i never overheated with 4 fans (mainly cuz im limited to 88-90 watts)

[gritty panther]

they're inaudible but I get enough cooling. my PC is silent af

[thorny galleon]

One image of my PC and you'll understand why lmao

[ivory mountain]

I mounted a 120 it pushes more air than a clip on ram fan

[bold olive]

anything but cooling the cpu??

[thin bloom]

have you checked the past?

[gritty panther]

I have two 60mm fans as a RAM cooler. I pointed it to the left so the VRM's can get some accidental airflow too

[bold olive]

120 mil aio on a 14900k?

[gritty panther]

hell no

[sleek ibex]

Just get a dual air tower at that point

[gritty panther]

get a 360 AIO or a cheap beefy cooler like PS120/140

[thorny galleon]

Unironically, that is likely gonna be fine.

A good 240mm AIO is able to cool a 14900k just fine

[bold olive]

without overclocking

[gritty panther]

Thermalright 360 AIO's are cheap might as well get them

[thorny galleon]

past?

[gritty panther]

or a $35 thermalright aircooler is enough

PA120/PS120 whatever the newest model is

not a 120mm AIO. they're shit

[thin bloom]

thermal past that's the cpus coolant

[thorny galleon]

paste

[sleek ibex]

Yes I've seen them run a PA120/140s perfectly fine

[gritty panther]

those perform similar to NH-D15

people dont even know that which is nuts to me

[thorny galleon]

calling that the coolant is wild. it is the thermal interface material just to correct you.

[thin bloom]

i'm tired right now. i can't think right now

[thorny galleon]

lmao relatable

[thin bloom]

i'm about to go to bed

[thorny galleon]

[next adder]

which one should i use?
1 Keep Java desktop and add Symja + Commons Math.
2 Keep Java desktop only and extend the custom math engine.
3 Start a separate web rewrite (React + Canvas/Three.js) while keeping the desktop app stable.
this is an calculator app kinda like geogebra

[thin bloom]

it's 4 am for me

[next adder]

2pm for me

[thin bloom]

i don't know why but i like to call thermal paste cpu coolant

[sinful cobalt]

tbh stock 14900K yes

120mm isnt cutting it

240mm can definitely tame a 285K quite nicely

[jovial swan]

if i want something nice and cheap how old of a macbook is too old before it is completely useless for things like netflix and HBO max?

[sinful cobalt]

My guy tried it, also with a 14900K and temps werent great but still not entirely throttling

he then proceeded to delid and it got struck by the degradation issue so free rma

[sinful cobalt]

minimum get the M1 chip for a mac

[grizzled frost]

anything M series is fine

[thin bloom]

I'm debating on swapping my pc's current fans for noctua fans but I don't know if it's worth it. Case fans are 2 to maybe 3 years old and the cooler fan's aren't a month old yet since I got the cooler for Christmas then instead it last month. Problem is it's going to be a bitch to get the bottom case fans out since I almost stripped the screws out because I didn't have the right bit and I was using a driver

[sinful cobalt]

MY EYES

[jovial swan]

ah damn, i just found a I9 macbook for really good price

[sinful cobalt]

if its intel chip its never a good price

[sleek ibex]

My air cooled 285K has never seen anything above mid 80s

[latent pasture]

why do u want to swap it tho?

[thorny galleon]

Yeah I'm cooling a 13900k with a 240mm aio in an SFF case and the temps top out in the high 80s to low 90s when cycling r23.

A really good 120 should likely be able to really close to being able to handle a stock one. That is given the radiator itself is fairly thick to begin with.

[sinful cobalt]

yeah 285K is pretty tame, but no LP air cooler can do it therefore the 240mm aio

Im running a C5 CU rn and Im power limiting the 265k

[latent pasture]

chrimply accept half perf

[thin bloom]

Better air flow for the cooler and gpu

[latent pasture]

what are ur temps for those

[sleek ibex]

Mine is on stock and default

[latent pasture]

i just sent this msg like 20 mins ago surely an example cannot come so soon

[jovial swan]

is it normal for my 240 MM arctic freezer to sound like its gurgling?

[timber elk]

Oem on batts is insane

[latent pasture]

how did u install it

[jovial swan]

i did not, its a prebuilt from a pc building company in my country,

[latent pasture]

how is it installed

w8 ill just crawl google for a pic

[thorny galleon]

Is the vapor chamber even any good. From what I've heard from others is that the AXP90-x47 outperforms it anyways.

[versed ferry]

I just want to say I kind of hate the urge to upgrade when you absolutely don't need to upgrade. The FPS goblin has cursed me. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[thorny galleon]

It is more expensive too, so I dont see any case where it makes sense.

[placid belfry]

120 fps is enough

[versed ferry]

Yeah but what if you want 120FPS in 4K with raytracing

(then you're stupid)

[jovial swan]

ive called into the company and several other local pc specialists in my city and they all say the same, the way my AIO is placed is correct.

[versed ferry]

FPS Goblin strikes when you least expect it.

[placid belfry]

[jovial swan]

several of those pc specialists are all people with over 15 to 30 years of experience,

What i can last remember without getting out of bed and wake the pc up. Um ate some point the undervolted asrock challenger D rx 5600 hit 70°C and the undervolted i7-7700k core temp hit's maybe 40 to 60°C while under load. I have the cpu and case fans at a low rpm to reduce noise at idle but go to maybe 1,400 rpm for the cpu and 1,200 rpm

[latent pasture]

do u want it to be even silenter
those are pretty good temps under load already

[sinful cobalt]

VCs are less effective the thicker the IHS afaik- on the 9950x3d my C5 non copper only sustained 115w

on ARL it could go as high as 180w and sustain like 150-160w

[quasi moat]

What if the block is the rad and the rad is the block

What if. I’m the block

[gritty panther]

some coolers don't work well with 9950x3d because of goofy layout

[grizzled frost]

offset mount ftw

[gritty panther]

make sure AIO you're buying works well or your temps is fkd

[grizzled frost]

also that's true for almost every AM5 chip (except the 8000's)

[latent pasture]

wat
thats been the ryzen way since zen2 and many coolers have been made to specifically adapt for that

[gritty panther]

notice the most hottest components are a little higher

goofy layout kinda fucks with temps

[thin bloom]

It is some what silent as of right now depending what game It's running. I'm just thinking of getting high air flow and delete the argb system it has

[gritty panther]

noctua has an offset mount afaik

[grizzled frost]

Which is precisely what i said

[gritty panther]

and it's free. you just email them

I lucked out and found out the Deepcool LT720 works well with goofy 9950x3d layout

it's true. I've had very good temps the whole time. I dont even run my fans that fast

[latent pasture]

whats goofy abt it its literally the ryzen layout since 2019

[gritty panther]

I dont like repeating myself but here you go; because the hottest components are not in the middle

so yea it's been goofy since 2019

[grizzled frost]

You said it like it was something unique to the 9950x3d, when dozens of chips for years now have had the same layout

[gritty panther]

is my english that hard to understand? I said make sure the cooler your buying works well with the 9950x3d because it's been reported that a lot of 360 AIO's have bad temps with it without the offset

[sterile moon]

Does any one know a good wifi card i should buy?

[thin bloom]

From me thinking about. If I sell the fans and argb hub it probably be 50 to 20 bucks usd

[grizzled frost]

fans and hubs have very little resale value

[grizzled frost]

that would be sale value, not resale value

[thorny galleon]

Yeah the IHS for AM5 is notoriously thick. No clue why AMD opted to make it that thick in the first place. Pretty frustrating :/
I guess that is an interesting piece of knowledge to know. Is there a reason why that is the case, if you happen to know?

[grizzled frost]

to retain AM4 mounting continuity

[thorny galleon]

150 watts seems pretty decent which is nice

[bold olive]

cools 90 watts just fine

[grizzled frost]

ask the engineers

the ones with decades of experience in the field

It's perfectly fine

[grizzled frost]

it's fine if you don't freak out about 80-90c temps

[thin bloom]

Me explaining why my pc's gaming ssd crashes if I put a big load onto it

[latent pasture]

i mean so far all the cpus that have been released for am5 pretty much cant use 200w or more
so theres not really any reason to demand perfect cooling/heat transfer etc etc

[latent rune]

how bad is this vignetting on a new IPS panel?

[grizzled frost]

like 90% of the "cooling problems" on am5 are people freaking out that their chip is at 83c

[thin bloom]

This isn't a joke. I'm serious

[grizzled frost]

how often do you show a full white screen on your monitor

[latent rune]

it's way worse for darker pictures

especially when the gameplay is bright and the HUD in dark

External or internal temp? I'm guessing External temp

[grizzled frost]

Core reported temp

[thin bloom]

Well I sleep now

[latent rune]

i have to be like 1.5m+ away from the monitor to not notice it

[latent pasture]

dying from heat degradation is like wuuuh my cpu life expectancy was cut by 50%!!! (instead of usable for 50 years it now only lasts 25)

[thorny galleon]

Honestly it is just a little issue that is just plaguing such a small group of people (low profile coolers). Yeah I do agreed that there is no point resolving such a small issue, but it wouldn't still be nice if they could've done something.

[grizzled frost]

I'm rather active in the SFF community (land of the LP cooler), and it's largely not an issue for gaming

7800x3d does just fine on the AXP90x47fc in demanding games

same with the 9800x3d/9850x3d

for a MC load, it can thermal throttle, but how often are people using AM5 CPUs for MC loads

[thorny galleon]

lmao true

wtf happened to my internet?

[grizzled frost]

i ate it

I should've said the even smaller lp coolers 💀
For the x36 it starts to actually be somewhat of a problem

[grizzled frost]

consider not using a 36mm cooler /hj

but like actually, i don't see the use case for cases that small

[thorny galleon]

Tried a few metal fish ones too, but what was I expecting for a lp cooler of that size on a CPU like that

[sinful cobalt]

i want a 9800x3d wth a axp90-36

[valid fiber]

36mm seems really too small

[grizzled frost]

you can fit a 4090FE and a 47mm cooler in a 9.95L case

i swear everytime i want to mention the T1, setsuna appears

[sinful cobalt]

it's like you have a spidey sense for the T1

I got a new large carry-on just for the T1 btw

[grizzled frost]

i fit mine in the commuter backpack

[sleek ibex]

[sinful cobalt]

the fuck

[grizzled frost]

hehe

the bag was quite deformed, but it fucking fit

didn't zip all the way tho

[sinful cobalt]

I was looking at the commuter backpack and was like “No way that thing fits comfortably”

[thorny galleon]

yeah it is impressively small 💀

[sinful cobalt]

yeah exactly

[grizzled frost]

comfortably, no, fits, you bet your ass it does

[grizzled frost]

ziptie the zippers then

[thorny galleon]

No clue how you manage to fit anything else in there tho

But I guess another bag works

[grizzled frost]

you don't

[sinful cobalt]

just the T1 or other stuff like a portable monitor included

no shot you can fit both in

[thorny galleon]

Do you have plans on getting a pelican case or something and putting it inside that?

[sleek ibex]

Speaking of T1, I've accepted that the SilverStone Alta T1 is vaporware

[grizzled frost]

My point was that the T1 fits in a fairly small bag, so a bigger bag would work fine

[grizzled frost]

Nope, i don't ever travel with my T1

[river creek]

This worth keeping ? I don't really need to for much appart from Rblx and some Minecraft and Msfs 2020 and Fs19

[grizzled frost]

i didn't even travel with it in the commuter, i was just curious if i could get it to fit

[thorny galleon]

Fair enough lmao. I would've probably tried the samr thing if I had a T1 💀

[grizzled frost]

Quite a few people have gotten a Pelican case and some custom foam to take the T1 and accessories on a plane

[thorny galleon]

Too expensive for me sadly

[sinful cobalt]

I bought a big bag just to bring it along when I want to

Understandable, then the system you linked will perform admirably

[thorny galleon]

For color grading you're going to want a color accurate monitor

[fleet rover]

I'm planning on buying that too.. probably an IPS 4k. Do you have any recommendations?

[thorny galleon]

Probably gonna try order one if I can place a order down in time 🙏
(and I say I don't have the money for a T1 💀)

[grizzled frost]

I honestly don't know a whole lot about color accurate monitors, one thing i know is you're going to want something with a wide color space and low delta V

[fleet rover]

Okay thanks

[river creek]

Hey, did anyone manage to take a look, and tell me if it's worth keeping, or should I sell it for a better system

[grizzled frost]

one sec lemme look

[river creek]

Thx

[grizzled frost]

Solid build imo

[river creek]

Friend who gifted me this (he moved away, and didn't need it so he left it as a parting gift.) said to me that the Processor might be a limit, his last Graphics Card broke. Is this accurate ?

[grizzled frost]

Depends on lot on what you play, what resolution, and what graphical settings

it's unlikely to be a noticeable problem though

[river creek]

Like Msfs2020 is the most demanding I think.

[devout pine]

what is with windows today? it keeps turning on light mode by itself? I tried restarting, didnt work, nor checking for updates, there is none

[jovial swan]

Found a new solution, i shall buy a laptop with 8 GB ram and i will upgrade it myself

[tidal geyser]

I left you guys hanging and yes it works, no clue what happened to it

[devout pine]

there is not even an update released today

[tidal geyser]

Vibe code better than human code

[tidal geyser]

2133 is slow af

[devout pine]

found the perpetrator, why is it opt out??

[frigid blade]

If in the right hands

lol so it’s not windows

[devout pine]

it is still microsoft

[bold olive]

lets install a b850 bios in a b840 and hopefully get pbo!!!

[tidal geyser]

Make sure to take a backup of the old bios

[bold olive]

current b840 bios on a usb stick + a b850 brickable stick

[warm anvil]

Just spent like an hour setting up kodi for my dad😭

[tidal geyser]

U can't flash a b850 bios in the bios of a b840

It can read the bios file

[bold olive]

they're separate usb sticks

sorry for poor wording

[tidal geyser]

Are you using flashback?

[bold olive]

is it q flash plus for gigabyte

[tidal geyser]

50/50 if that will work

[bold olive]

wait what

[tidal geyser]

But you will not gain any real performance from doing so and I know why

[bold olive]

i just want to remove the 88 watt limit

[tidal geyser]

On a 7600?

It ain't gonna do much to the performance e

Do you even need more performance

[bold olive]

yes

there's plenty of room to cool b4 tjmax

[tidal geyser]

Yes I know there is room to cool but Ryzen power scaling is ass

RESIDENT EVIL (@REBiohazardNews)

Resident Evil 4 Remake’s PC performance has dropped significantly, with FPS losses of 10–50% 😬

This includes lower GPU utilization, noticeable stuttering and longer load times

The cause appears to be Capcom’s update that replaced Denuvo with Enigma DRM. Pirated versions of the game are ironically running better than the current Enigma build

vxTwitter / fixvx · Feb 6, 2026, 10:50 AM

Benjamin Netanyahu needs to add Denuvo back to Re4

[tidal geyser]

If you wanted a CPU that did not have bad power scaling get one of em 400w Intel CPUs

[bold olive]

what's power scaling

why am I regretting going amd

I should've stuck with intel

like my family trees

[ebon marlin]

Why are you even bothering to overclock

[bold olive]

why not

[ebon marlin]

You're also on a B840 does that even allow overclocking

[tidal geyser]

How much performance you get per watt being sent in

[bold olive]

sketchy bios tldr

[tidal geyser]

Tis why he wants to flash a b850 bios on it

[ebon marlin]

He's gonna brick his mobo lmao

I doubt B840 boards have bios flashback on em due to how low end they are

[tidal geyser]

He has it

[ebon marlin]

Surprised

[fallow yacht]

what kind of stupidity is this

[ebon marlin]

Linux user

[fallow yacht]

was gonna say if 3rd number was the generation

ok so the bx40 series is basically just intel's hx1/70 series right?

[ebon marlin]

No idea B840 is so random

It's basically just a rebranded A series

Is there A820 boards?

[fallow yacht]

anyways i think i should get my dad a logitech wireless keyboard and mouse

[fallow yacht]

nope

[ebon marlin]

So it's just a rebranded A820

[bold olive]

it's an eagle series motherboard, which is the entry level 'gaming motherboard' so it has it

[ebon marlin]

Yo mamma

[bold olive]

shut

[ebon marlin]

Lootations from work today

[jovial swan]

Man why am i always so late at things, i finally now wanted to buy a specific laptop second hand, turns out the damn thing already got bought by someone else FACK, it had good specs too for its price ,
Ryzen 7 4750 pro,
16 GB ram
1080P display,
Oh well time to look for something else the

[calm idol]

500gb ssd? mans rich

[jovial swan]

I scrapped this out of a old laptop lmao

[bold olive]

im known by too much

[ebon marlin]

Yesterday was another 512gb ssd and the other day another 512gb ssd and last week a 1tb ssd

But the DSi XL is the most expensive thing I've stolen yet lol

Goes for 150€ regularly

[sterile yew]

Today it’s building day chat, finally.

[ebon marlin]

2nd most valuable is either a Sony Cybershot or the 1tb Intel 660p

[ebon marlin]

14700kf and a QVO drive it's over before it even started

And P3 Plus

Oh mein gott

[bold olive]

i want that vengeance

[ebon marlin]

Benjamin Netanyahu is proud of your part selection

[ionic peak]

Gimmi

[sterile yew]

It’s a ddr4 build for productivity and I already had the ram and ssd’s

[bold olive]

god

[sterile yew]

Lmao

Wccftech (@wccftech)

Out of 40,000 units shipped on Mindfactory, only 0.71% of Ryzen 7 9800X3D boxed CPUs were RMA’d, while the Intel Core i9-14900K remains one of the most failure-prone CPUs. 🔗 https://wccf.tech/1jn4j

vxTwitter / fixvx · Feb 6, 2026, 1:02 PM

Damn almost 10% RMA rate

[sterile yew]

Whats your point man

[ebon marlin]

?

Tweaking much?

I'm just sharing something interesting I found while scrolling twitter

[wooden adder]

that my i9 14900k will go boom

@hallow jasper "no matter how big the hammer you use, you can't pound common sense into stupid people, all you prove is that ignorance has excellent shock absorption" 🤣

[oblique jay]

Is it normal for a DP on a GPU to just stop working?

My 2nd one from the right just shows up as no signal with both screens. 7900xtx powercolor

Actually I think multiple of them just randomly dont display now so not really sure what's going on w it

Have the pc a restart now its picked up my second screen from a different dp but not my main one again ..

[hallow jasper]

love that lol

[hallow jasper]

normal for outputs to just stop working? no, thats not normal

[jovial swan]

Lowkey annoying this things ram cant be upgraded, id be so tempted to buy it if it could be

[bold olive]

potential vrm cooler

[stray portal]

One day we will revert to digital media 😔

I just know it i really hope we do

[vestal stream]

Look at what I found for 10$

I am Soo reselling this

[oblique jay]

Not sure if thats even the problem, they worked again for a minute but my main one worked and my second screen had no signal, vice versa..

Not sure what i can even do, ive done ddu recently as well

[jovial swan]

Is 458 USD a good price for a ThinkPad with these specs
ThinkPad T14 Gen 2
I7 1165G7
32 GB DDR4
1920x1080 300 nit
512 GB SSD
Intel Iris Xe 96EU

[jovial swan]

Someones selling one locally and i am kinda tempted but buying it would cause me to go down more than half my monthly budget.

[vestal stream]

Try to get it down to 420 but yeah, it's a good price

[jovial swan]

Guy can go down to 2500 DKK (2900 dkk is 458 USD) but then he will remove one of the ram sticks so its only 16 GB:(.

[bold olive]

uh

[frigid blade]

Looks like something you’d take a torch to and somehow fix itself

Don’t actually do that it’s just my first thought lol

[pale flint]

umm wtf is that

[gaunt spade]

old ahhh monitor

[frigid blade]

I thought that was part of an old ass laptop

[oblique jay]

Theb there's this as well....

Main monitor is back on by shifting ports, second screen isnt working on a dp that ive never used before. Though csnt change resolution, stuck at 1920x1080 instead of 3440x1440

[bold olive]

install your gpu drivers

or reinstall it

[oblique jay]

Restarted without touching anything else now the second screen is back on & main screen isnt working.

Ive done ddu already recently snd still had the issue

[bold olive]

Check your display settings

[oblique jay]

What am I supposed to be looking for in there?

[bold olive]

what drivers are in use

it may be a microsoft back up driver

[oblique jay]

Not sure where to see that specifically

[bold olive]

Settings - system - display - advanced display settings

or smth similar to advanced

[bold olive]

ur on the backup driver

so it won't run the full resolution or refresh rate

what gpu are you using?

[oblique jay]

7900xtx

[frigid blade]

1080 by 1920? lol

[oblique jay]

But thats not the whole problem, only 1 monitor is being picked up regardless

[bold olive]

It's a backup display driver. It only uses one monitor because it's sole purpose is to get a display out in the event that your gpus drivers get compromised

[bold olive]

install amd drivers.

[oblique jay]

Okay, that makes sense..

[tidal geyser]

delamination

[bold olive]

https://tenor.com/view/do-this-gif-18382134

[bold olive]

might as well buy a used ips monitor

[oblique jay]

Will do a fresh install of them

[bold olive]

it certainly ain't for gaming 💀

[oblique jay]

Is it possible the most recent and drivers are just buggy

[tidal geyser]

yes

[oblique jay]

Yesterday morning my shit crashed snd since it stopped working

[bold olive]

try a driver that's slightly older

just slightly

[bold olive]

https://tenor.com/view/nvidia-nvidia-gif-nvidia-accepted-gif-19751391

(ignore the 2026 bullshit 💀 )

[oblique jay]

Alright just gonna try 25.12.1

Tbf this is the first time having an issue on amd in about 4-5yrs

Still fucking annoying

[bold olive]

i thought it's gonna be a dream having amd gpus on linux

[oblique jay]

This one seems to be fine.. what options do I go for, factory reset?

[dusk patio]

factory reset can cause issues with Windows Update trying to override your driver iirc

[bold olive]

just update, no factory reset

might be useless as you ddu'd it

[oblique jay]

👍

[trim schooner]

should i be enabling HDR or not

[bold olive]

in fancy graphics games, yes

[bold olive]

or movies

[trim schooner]

i mean on the other side it did cause this

(youtube video)

[bold olive]

get more details

[bold olive]

now that I do not know

[bold olive]

might be interfering with the basic driver that's on

[trim schooner]

i just tested it

[bold olive]

Head back here and tell me what's connected to

[trim schooner]

this is how the videeo looks without HDR:

[oblique jay]

Still the same

Though havent restarted yet so not sure if that would change

[bold olive]

restart

gotta shift the drivers to amd

[oblique jay]

Restarted, still on the backup drivers

[unique aspen]

i got 2 peak games and alot of dlc
