[frigid blade]

yes but can they enforce that, probably not afaik if you just open it

[grizzled nova]

nvidia will get you if you even touch a screwdriver near it

[frigid blade]

EU will give you better protections

[gaunt spade]

im not eu

[frigid blade]

The warranty void if removed stickers arent enforcable in the us probably

but if you actually mess with something in it thats something else

[gaunt spade]

im not us

dry as a desert

what if i put this in and use it as a framegen gpu

[grizzled frost]

what is it

[gaunt spade]

9500gt

[grizzled frost]

lossless scaling is meh, no dlss support

[gaunt spade]

i repasted it

used precious thermalright paste

[carmine yew]

do you know what they call it in georgia?

[latent gull]

Pop is the worst one to call it

[carmine yew]

so, generic paste?

[gaunt spade]

yea idk

i bought a bunch of them for cheap

[carmine yew]

even good paste isn't expensive

[latent gull]

So not just generic, but cheap and generic

[gaunt spade]

better then just generic

[carmine yew]

you can spend 10 bucks and get more Arctic MX6 than you'll need before it expires. (Unless you run a shop)

[gaunt spade]

its expensive

[carmine yew]

no it's really fuckin' not

8g is at least 4-6 of most paste things included with a cooler

[gaunt spade]

i bougth 24 grams of thermalright for less then 5$

[carmine yew]

what are you doing where you'll ever need 24g of paste?

[latent gull]

Nummy

[gaunt spade]

eat

i have alot of things to repaste

i need more

[carmine yew]

[gaunt spade]

i might try getting like a small tub of thermalpaste

[gaunt spade]

consoles/pcs

[carmine yew]

lol why

[gaunt spade]

ask ai

[carmine yew]

how many do you have to repaste

[topaz shale]

build how? as in a model that already exists that you run locally, or a model you train yourself?

[carmine yew]

you don't have the hardware to run it

[latent gull]

Buy some thousands of GPUs and a small nuclear reactor

[topaz shale]

good luck

[gaunt spade]

i repaste for myself + friends and i buy tons of parts and then sell em so i need to repaste cpus alot

2090 ti

[topaz shale]

real gpu btw

[carmine yew]

doesn't exist

[gaunt spade]

ai made it

[carmine yew]

so, you're shitposting. good to know.

[latent gull]

Hey why the fuck does the 2080ti have 11gb of ram

[carmine yew]

same reason the 1080 TI did

[topaz shale]

same as the 1080ti

[latent gull]

…which is?

[gaunt spade]

not enough

[topaz shale]

yeah you are cooked buddy

[carmine yew]

the Titans were 12GB and they weren't gonna match that with consumer shit

[topaz shale]

forget trying to train or run an ai on your pc you dont have the resources

[latent gull]

11gb is just so cursed

[carmine yew]

you're not running ANY ai models on that

that means it's a laptop, doesn't it?

[topaz shale]

2050 isnt a real card?

thats a 1660

[carmine yew]

no, def not a 1660

on your laptop you're not. full stop.

[gaunt spade]

from 2090 ti to 2050

[sinful cobalt]

laptop

[gaunt spade]

it is

[topaz shale]

oh

[carmine yew]

no, at this point you're shitposting, so shut the fuck up unless you want to talk like a sane person.

that's how things happen:

Someone invents a way to do it. Then other people will iterate and improve and make it better.

well, i can afford sennheiser instead, and that's a fuck ton better

show me one intelligent thing you've said in here today

[ivory mountain]

the latency on windows desktops make most bluetooth headphones not worth using on it

i get like damn near a whole second of latency on my airpod pro 2 usbc's on my desktop

[rigid fjord]

that's just bluetooth latency in general

[carmine yew]

Also, are you now addressing yourself with the royal WE?

[cold skiff]

I mean I respond to anything. I’m British so normally prick/twat is what I’m most receiving

[ivory mountain]

the latency on my phone is fine, if a company wants to make a truly wireless set of headphones they should have them connect via a dongle (if theyre meant for pc gaming)

[topaz shale]

to sell pcs first you must collect the pc parts

[cold skiff]

I mean a real IQ test.. you’d have to do MENSA together not some shit online thing

[quick yacht]

@ivory mountain whats that for?

[rigid fjord]

those are called, ewaste recyclers, they generally recycle office pc's and some turn them into ebay specials, not worth it unless you're going to become an SI instead with a good amount of capital behind you

[carmine yew]

cope harder, jesus christ

For reals, go touch some fuckin' grass

[dusk patio]

[quick yacht]

ive looked for ewaste centers but there are none near me i do have like 1k capital

[carmine yew]

There are zero useful IQ tests online. They're all bad.

[quick yacht]

yea fr

u were 1/1,000,000,000

[rigid fjord]

add a couple more zero's to that to call it capital

[ivory mountain]

over or under 500.5 pounds, place your bets here guys!

[dusk patio]

the real IQ test is knowing that the online ones are bs

[topaz shale]

if you really want to buy into it (dont recommend) then check ebay for recyclers and see if you can grab a pc for cheap.

the real iq test is knowing bottleneck calculators are for idiots

1.5gb/minute
25mb/s?

these two derpy cats are cute derpy cats:

9060 and an 8th gen i7?

[rigid fjord]

2 heatpipes and couldn't cool a fuckwit

[topaz shale]

le external internal hard drive

[carmine yew]

today? Thermalright or ID Cooling is where it's at generally

[vestal dirge]

they cool my power-hungry beast of a cpu just fine (i5 6500)

[bronze summit]

6 7

[scarlet marlin]

9060 and i7 12700 yea

[rigid fjord]

that cpu is about as power hungry as a wet paper towel

[junior merlin]

Thermalright cheapo cooler works fine on first gen i7s

[junior merlin]

Not bad at all! Solid 1080p 120 or 1440p 60 build.

[scarlet marlin]

I might need to get my gpu checked tbh.. sometimes it gives display during power on but sometimes it doesn't and no display until I restart a few times

[rigid fjord]

id cooling's se214xt would be the alternative to that, also good

[junior merlin]

Check the drivers and power supply connection

[scarlet marlin]

planning to get a ultrawide 1440p 144hz display yea currently just rocking 1080p 60

[bronze summit]

My super awesome PC building journey

[rigid fjord]

also dude.... 1440p 144 easily when it comes to this combo

[scarlet marlin]

I thought that aswell but after using ddu and reseating / plugging my gpu it's still the same issue

even changed the psu

[junior merlin]

Depends on the game.

[junior merlin]

Maybe check BIOS and see if REBAR is on, or the PCIE lanes are wonky.

[scarlet marlin]

honestly I'd be fine with capping it at 60 because I'm more of a storygame enjoyer rather than competitive

[rigid fjord]

16gb 9060xt easily does 1440p 60-144hz tbh even though it's aimed at 1080p

[scarlet marlin]

rebar is on yea and I've tried different pcie cables that came with the gpu

[junior merlin]

I meant in the BIOS. Like see if the lanes are biforcated or something

[scarlet marlin]

how do I do that?

[rigid fjord]

f2/del spam til you enter bios after powering on

then it's going through the advanced settings while in advanced mode and not ez mode

[junior merlin]

I suppose the extra VRAM does help it, I ran a 3080 which is the same card, less VRAM.

In terms of raw performance

[rigid fjord]

the 10gb vram model?

[junior merlin]

Yep. Got it at launch at MSRP.

We didn't know about any 12GB model then.

[rigid fjord]

raw performance it's actually better than the 9060xt 16gb

[red light]

do you remember pc looks like this?

[rigid fjord]

the only thing to make the 9060xt better ahead in is the frame gen, and it's encoders

but raw performance, the 3080 > 9060xt

[junior merlin]

Which is why I'm hesitant to call it a true 1440p 144hz card. The core isn't quite as fast to take advantage of 16GB like the 3080 or something like a 9070xt.

[carmine yew]

I mean, sure, and then the need for Cd Drives and a stack of HDDs went away

[rigid fjord]

fair, i did say it's aimed at 1080p, even amd states that it's for low end gaming aka 1080p

[junior merlin]

The 3080 could easily have been a 16GB card and still hold up today if NVidia hadn't skipped out.

[rigid fjord]

it has the bit bus that it could handle 20-28gb vram tbh

[junior merlin]

Yep. Seen the mods. Want one done to my EVGA.

Anyways, OP will enjoy that card once they fix the black screen issues.

[rigid fjord]

but if you want to see it's equal in more modern gens, the 4070 is a more efficient 3080

[bronze summit]

One of my biggest regrets

[junior merlin]

The 4070ti is what the 3080 should've been at launch.

[bronze summit]

is getting the anime version of the 4070 super

I lowkenuinely should've just gotten the black one

[stray portal]

why is the penguin os so good

[junior merlin]

Cause Microsoft makes Windows bad.

[rigid fjord]

4070ti super you mean, 4070ti has the same vram as the 4070 but has a little more performance on it to be at equal to a 3090

[fringe prairie]

gotta try biebian next

[stray portal]

whats biebian

[rigid fjord]

because no AI trying to be shoved down your throat

[fringe prairie]

justin bieber debian
https://biebian.sourceforge.net/

[stray portal]

yeah its crazy this is actually good

[fringe prairie]

LOL

[halcyon fox]

Hehehehehe

[rigid fjord]

this just reminds me of the hana montana one

[junior merlin]

Nah, 4070ti. The 4070ti Super would've been $1000 MSRP for Ampere.

12GB VRAM, maybe 14GB. Dual encoders. RTX 3080 core. That would've made the 3080 on par with the 1080ti in legend status.

[stray portal]

currently tried cs2 and i get about 170-200 fps

(counter strike 2)

on windows i had about 300-350

[fringe prairie]

also debian based i think?

[rigid fjord]

either that or arch

[stray portal]

this is all on the native version, but yeah i think cuz its debian so not gaming focused

[halcyon fox]

Did you install the official driver for Linux from Nvidia?

[stray portal]

im so happy wayland works with counter strike now i can finally use waydroid

[stray portal]

i have amd gpu

the drivers are built in, i think i upated them but im not sure

ive got nvidia working fine on arch

[halcyon fox]

Nvidia works fine for me on Mint too...

[fringe prairie]

i think im missing a few features but havent experienced game breaking bugs or anything

[stray portal]

gonna try sonic origins later and some beamng

[buoyant bridge]

Is there an actual reason that rectangle, square, and round connectors are more common than triangular?

[fringe prairie]

better framerate in cs2 asw compared to windows

[buoyant bridge]

triangular connectors should be stronger in theory than a similar area of any other connector

[stray portal]

i just hate kde spectacle its so buns i wish there was something similar to winduds

where i just capture a region and it saves to clipboard so i dont have to click on copy

[scarlet marlin]

I was finally able to boot bios where should I check this?

[halcyon fox]

Probably because of space constraints in chassis

[halcyon fox]

Particularly laptops

[rigid fjord]

they would actually be weaker, and tbh would result in needing more specific keying

[buoyant bridge]

yeah but you'd realistically be able to make a smaller triangular connectors due to triangles having equal force on all sides

[jaunty apex]

@stray portal flameshot

[buoyant bridge]

Why would they be weaker, triangles and hexagons are literally the strongest shape in most loads

[jaunty apex]

Takes configuring in my experience but that works

[stray portal]

hmm im gonna try

[jaunty apex]

Worked for me on mint

[stray portal]

oh shit

why is my romanian keyboard set to qwartz

[junior merlin]

Somewhere in advanced settings

[stray portal]

yeah its labeled differently

[tranquil thicket]

[wintry coyote]

hey i’m lilac, new here 💕

[rigid fjord]

in construction yes they're stronger, in electrics no, you'd have to think of contact points and where 'wear and tear' will be, this will also include force loads when it gets pushed in for said contact points

it's rumours til there's an actual release of it

[grizzled frost]

ram has never been this expensive

i bought a kit of 32gb gskill 6600 a-die for $40

That’s fair, spaceballs I feel like is more guaranteed than star gate though

[carmine yew]

I bought some for work at that price in september.
IDK how I got so goddamned lucky

[hexed tapir]

$40 to buy a sword to rob them?

[ivory mountain]

no i bought it used in 2023

[grizzled frost]

that's a cheap sword

[ivory mountain]

gave someone a steal for christmas cuz i wasnt using it sold it for 100 doubloons (it had no heatsyncs but who cares)

[carmine yew]

doesn't have to be an expensive sword to threaten someone

the 10 buck Harbor Freight Machete will work just fine

linux performance is crazy

the music

[ivory mountain]

363 nice

[stray portal]

now im getting like 380

the chunks are done generating

this is like a lot of render distance

[rotund wren]

Can this be pushed in any further, or is this just bad Gigabyte design or maybe the cable?
Whenever I move the monitor even a little bit it goes “bzz” and shuts off and restarts.
I really don’t want to cook the power supply or the connector.

[tidal geyser]

you should very much be able to push it in way further

use a bit of raw force on it and ofc hold on top

[grizzled nova]

which pack is this

shader

[rotund wren]

i already tried to push it in with force idk how much is really needed atp its kind of hard to push against it too because its a monitor

[hexed tapir]

😏

[stray portal]

BSL

[grizzled nova]

ah

[rotund wren]

why do they not ship with the round cable those are always stable

[tidal geyser]

almost not possible to break it that way

[grizzled nova]

is it heavy or light to run
it looks pretty decent

[tidal geyser]

cheaper

and if the PSU breaks you cant just buy a new one

[grizzled nova]

i would prefer monitors dont ship with barrel

or really anything

[rotund wren]

i shouldve bought the zowie bro 💔💔💔

[tidal geyser]

i prefer the ones with built in

i hate having a hundered different boxes everywhere

[stray portal]

Usually lighter than complementary but some versions are unoptimised but it should be fine

[rotund wren]

i will just push it in so hard now if it doesnt work ill get a new cable if that forsnt work fuck gigabyte

[hexed tapir]

Because this bad boy is used on so many things PSU, monitors,TVs, printers, scanners, and audio equipment etc etc

[steel umbra]

what did they do to thorn in R6 bruh 😭

[grizzled nova]

i run rlastra or kappapt normally

why not use duct tape for well its mostly intended purpose here

Hey noctua is from Austria 🇦🇹 i have to support my country

[feral arrow]

do you guys also reccomend using an unattended.xml for windows setup for a purely gaming focused build like does it leave security holes, and when windows updates does it screw with stuff and does it still respect the unattended.xml?

[queen trout]

Id cooling a 720

[formal sonnet]

Because monitor manufacturers who choose not to build the power supply into the monitor shouldn't be allowed to exist. 🤣 No but really, I've had more external monitor power supply bricks die than I've had monitors with internal power supplies die.

[formal sonnet]

Unattend.xml does whatever you configure it to do... It's only used to preconfigured certain things during the OOBE setup.

As with all configuration things, if you configure it poorly, your operating system experience will also suffer. I don't recommend it for home users / consumers unless you know what you're doing.

[hexed tapir]

I hate external power supply, I hate taping down the tumor on the cable to the back of the desk

[formal sonnet]

Same. They're much more annoying to cable manage.

which one is best for rtx 4070 super

[feral arrow]

depends on your gpu and what kinda games imo

[frosty ruin]

Using a workstation grade gpu for workstation

[feral arrow]

1440p

[indigo temple]

cs2 hzd and some random junk

[formal sonnet]

For sure, always happy to help clear things up. But also, I don't recommend using any third party tools to modify your OS unless:

1. you're absolutely certain you know exactly what the code is doing, and
2. you're prepared to keep both pieces when (not if) the operating system breaks.
   Too many people have run scripts with good intention... Only to remove <THING> integral to a feature they suddenly wish to use. For example... Last I checked, if you fully remove Xbox Gamebar and other Xbox app components, you may have a hard time reinstalling them when you later want to use Xbox Cloud Streaming. Same with trying to remove Edge / WebView2 - portions of Windows rely on these items to function properly.

[indigo temple]

okey

thanks alot!

[dense mango]

It's been 5 years since I've built a PC. Why is the supply not available and when should I expect pre-covid prices for components?

[feral arrow]

AI for NAND and Ai Ai AI Ai basically

[feral arrow]

yes i think ram is still not expected to go down until atleast 2029 i think

[formal sonnet]

You'll need to wait about 1-infinite business years for stock to return to normal supply levels at reasonable prices. Blame Machine Learning.

[dense mango]

Well there goes any chance of me starting a career in game development.

[feral arrow]

ty for the clearup! should i just stick with basic stock windows im pretty decent with the unattended stuff but what do you reccomend and do you yourself run stock windows

[formal sonnet]

I run stock. For most people, I recommend stock, but actually read the things your software asks you during installation / setup. I've never once had OneDrive "suddenly" decide it was time to start syncing my files "without my consent." I'm not saying it doesn't happen to people, but I've always had some kind of UI/UX prompt I need to acknowledge before software "just does things" on my computer. Read things, understand what you're agreeing to, and explore the Settings of apps running on your devices.

[dense mango]

Maybe I should just ask AI to make the games for me.

[feral arrow]

basically ai companies need NAND as a cache tool for all the memory for the ai models and have bought the ram supply. micron (crucial) who was 1 of 3 major manufactures focus on ai/datacenter stuff now and dropped from the consumer market. therefore making ram as good as gold. pretty sure the 2028 stock of ram has been sold out and it hasn't even been produced yet. TL:DR anything with memory (NAND) will suffer

[feral arrow]

please don't but then again thats just my opinion

[feral arrow]

im just like you i read things even the TOS sometimes lol but tyvm for the clearup

[ivory mountain]

A lot of game development is coding and u can code on a shitbox soooo

[dense mango]

Hey Alexa make a billion dollar video game for me

[dense mango]

Yeah but you need a decent computer for 3d graphics

[feral arrow]

you don't need good graphics for a game to be good

look at minecraft and undertale and terraria for example

[dense mango]

The problem isn't that my PC isn't good enough spec-wise it's that it's getting too old to not crash with newer graphical technology.

[feral arrow]

whats your specs btw

[latent gull]

Minecraft, undertale, and terraria have rather good graphics, they’re just highly stylized

They’re not realistic graphics

[dense mango]

Video Card: AMD Radeon RX 6800XT 16GB

CPU: 3.7GHz 12-Core AMD Ryzen 5900X

Storage: 2 x Corsair MP600 8TB M.2 SSD

Memory: G.Skill Trident Z Royal Gold 128GB (32×4) 2666MHz DDR4

No one can tell me how to stop it from crashing under high stress, I've been trying for a couple years.

Someone recently said my CPU is too slow for the GPU but someone else said that shouldn't be the case, Google AI thinks the PSU is just shitty even though I've tested it, I've tested every part, yadayada

[feral arrow]

fair point

[feral arrow]

that should be fine imo

[dense mango]

Yeah but some games make it crash under certain circumstances and even basic 3d rendering with UE does too.

The build is from 2020 though so maybe all the parts are just aging.

[dusk patio]

ageing doesn't make a computer crash

[tired bear]

wierd behaviours are usualy caused by either ram or psu

[dense mango]

Aging makes parts fail.

[tired bear]

since you are running 4x32gb memory i assume its that

am4 IMC is not that good...

[dense mango]

It was the same when I was using 2*16 a few months ago.

[tired bear]

try two sticks instead

4 stick configurations are very intense on IMC

[dense mango]

I meant to say 2*16

[tired bear]

what motherboard do you have

[tidal geyser]

crash how

[dense mango]

GIGABYTE X570 AORUS ELITE WIFI AM4 AMD X570 USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard

[tired bear]

what bios version\

also what does the event viewer say?

[dense mango]

Varies between no BSOD restart, WHEA error, critical system process crashes, watchdog, etc

[dense mango]

Idk rn but I updated it last a few months ago, I'm not home rn

[tired bear]

when you are home check event viewer

[mint umbra]

Does cuseforge work on Linux

For Minecraft mod packs

[dense mango]

There's usually nothing in the event viewer other than it saying it unexpectedly shut down

[serene pumice]

Idk man, cases were way cooler back in the days, before glass panels & rgb

[tidal geyser]

download it from octopi

[mint umbra]

Ok

Man you know what I miss blackberry phones

Wish they made a comeback in cellphone market

[dense mango]

That's not it either, I spent over $250 to replace the CPU but it still crashed

[tidal geyser]

500$ on a 3900x?

o no 5900X

that cpu aint worth more than half that

i would just do a full check with occt then

[glacial cliff]

an update on my water/steam leak problem in my apartment! the $5,000 PC tower + thousands upon thousands of dollars of other high end custom electronics spooked the insurance appraisers and my adjuster asked me to furnish diagnostic reports from certified technicians on all damaged electronics certifying that the damage was from water.

I balked, as a 100% total disabled vet with mobility challenges that is essentially housebound and without a car, on the idea of transporting thousands of dollars and hundreds and hundreds of pounds of electronics to a repair store, to front the hundreds/thousands of dollars in diagnostics costs without even confirmation that coverage is accepted by insurance yet, especially when my insurance agent said the cost of diagnostics would come out of my personal property limits (which I'm already maxing out, meaning it would decrease the value i have to replace damaged goods) and the incurred transportation costs would not be covered. Since i had previously gotten a copy of my entire policy coverage documents, i asked him to tell me the page and line that stated the duty to incur those costs was on me.

my insurance agent balked at having to prove i had to take that effort, and now they're paying out of their pocket for a mobile electronics tech to come out and assess all of my electronics for me for repairability 😄

that's so sweet of them!

[serene python]

i am probably getting the full size adafruit one with usb-c

[mint umbra]

well think it depends if they have rt or not

cuz a 5090 should get more than 80 without rt

[ivory mountain]

hope all works out 🫡 that water leak sounds like a pain in the ass

[ivory mountain]

its 80 with dlss, and no ray tracing is in the game

[mint umbra]

damn

[glacial cliff]

the leak was whatever. i had much worse in the navy, at least this wasn't black water backing up from the VCHT tank into the sleeping area.

the headache of dealing with insurance is what's making me pull my hair out

[grizzled nova]

w forcing them to do their jobs

[ivory mountain]

im glad im 17 and my parents deal with insurance stuff 😭 i dont know where to start

[glacial cliff]

pro tip, from someone who has experienced both theft and damage claims now:

if you ever have a damage claim in the future, but are friends with some shady characters who would come steal it from you

thats easier to get coverage for

[ivory mountain]

☠️

[left dove]

that's called ✨ fraud✨

and that's a ✨ felony ✨

[glacial cliff]

all it takes is a police report number on the claim and 9 times out of ten insurance figures the felony false police report claim is enough of an incintive to not fight you on if the claim is legitimate

the two theft claims i've done i had cash in hand in under 10 days

[drowsy isle]

Pretty standard it seems, they all expect people to crank upscaling and fg, but you could honestly turn down some settings and get more performance

[glacial cliff]

very much so yes. for legal reasons that was not advice that was me being facetious because i'm frustrated at at wits end dealing with my damn insurance

don't commit fraud. you'll end up in prison

[serene python]

we got fraud advice in tc1 before gta6

[ivory mountain]

$3000+ card + $700+ cpu for 80 frames WITH dlss shouldnt be acceptable

[glacial cliff]

but honestly, the 3p company they contracted for repairs im so excited 😄

this is like the best thing to happen yet on my claim! 😄

[drowsy isle]

Well that's where we're going, people need to stop buying these games but some of them still sell well because they fix the game after launch or leave it as is

[ivory mountain]

I pirated it and im glad i did lmao 😭

[drowsy isle]

Just don't support the devs and make your voice heard pretty much

[ivory mountain]

The first one looked just as good and it was much more enjoyable honestly (performance wise the game is still fun)

[drowsy isle]

I just don't play it all together or wait for a discount on steam

[gray sierra]

8 core cpu is just not enough in the big 2026

[steel umbra]

Welcome to gaming in 2026 where there's hardly.a graphical jump but major increase in compute demand

[ivory mountain]

$5000 pc and the best someone can say is “lower the settings” brutal

[glacial cliff]

t'was a joke, and if it's already going to be covered under a claim either which way, i don't see how you insinuate that one will raise prices more than the other?

[drowsy isle]

In all honesty though upscaling has gotten so good I'd just enable it unless the native frames exceed the monitors refresh rate

[steel umbra]

you'll use your friend to illegaly increase your odds of getting covered by insurance

[glacial cliff]

that wasn't what i was 'advocating' for with my comment, if you read it.

i wasn't telling people to inflate the value of their belongings, or do it for stuff that might not otherwise be damaged.

i specifically said if it was damaged.

even if the entire conversation wasn't pointless because again, t'was 1000000% a joke, if your insurance would deny your coverage under a covered loss on a damage claim after jerking you around for a month, for the exact same value and property loss as they'd approve under a theft, that's a problem with the insurance and fuck them. can't believe someone would stan for that behavior personally, but i'll give the benefit of the doubt and assume you interpreted me as advocating for inflating value of your losses (which i categorically wasn't even implying internal to my joke, for the record).

the entire joke was purely a "avoid the month of absolute insanity i'm going through right now for the same end point" (you just have to risk felony charges and prison time for filing false police reports)

[steel umbra]

Well i dono i just came into the chat

It'd not be first time someone suggesting something illegal like scamming

people are dumb enough to ask whenever they can sell a broken gpu as working and blame the buyer

[steel umbra]

A lot of insurances do careful calculating, like they cover your property under theft but not by theft, you'd have to pay more to balance it out

ofc they also include in the price that some people just claim what they don't have and their margin

Like invalidity

[buoyant bridge]

85gbps of through put right here on just cat cables

[steel umbra]

Insurance will pay you if you become invalid by accident but not by mental disorders

which includes attempted oofing

[buoyant bridge]

Technically only 25 cus I'm crimping RJ45 but still

[steel umbra]

so you can only be legally covered invalid if you slip and fall of a staircase

[glacial cliff]

i do agree, especially for homeowners, where the policies get massively more complex.

the situation I am dealing with is renter's insurance, and the "covered losses" is all grouped together for fire, water from pipe rupture, theft, smoke, etc, as a singular "covered loss" entity, and coverage is all grouped together for all covered losses.

when i owned a home i do know it was MUCH more complex*

[glacial cliff]

i also get this, which is why i have hundreds of photos and thousands of receipts im furnishing as part of my claim, and still getting jerked around like crazy

[steel umbra]

I do agree that if you have right to the insurance but they refuse to pay out fuck them, but i'd be worried about the consiquences if they catch you lying which then may set a flag for all other insurances possibly and then you'll hardly ever get a reasonable insurance

[sleek ibex]

[gray sierra]

[steel umbra]

insurances don't want high risk customers

oh you have bone issues? no insurance is going to be willing to cover osteoporosis now

unless you pay up

[granite comet]

anyone know how to set up gaming on 3 monitors where the center is 3440x1440 and the sides are 1920x1080

[drowsy isle]

Went and finally got the quest 3 today going to only be connected to my PC

[buoyant bridge]

you'd need to use something to run a higher res on the 1080s or a lower res on the 1440 to use eyefinity/whatever Nvidia calls it

I dont have a good crimping tool so i cant cut them flush after they get crimped in place need to buy a nicer one as Ive used it enought to justify the expense

[latent gull]

I just buy Klein stuff from our Home Depot :p

[buoyant bridge]

6A/7 is wayyy easier

Gotta love load bars

the RJ12s r gonna piss me off though

[dusty egret]

Thats what I'm going to get I bought a really cheap one at first since I didnt know how often I would ever use it and its been ok but I need to shorten all the networking in my rack I was an idiot and made them all like 9ft long but I dont want to have to redo all the terminations

[buoyant bridge]

y'know it's cheaper to just buy cat5e cable now than it is to buy cat3

I just throw my RJ11s and RJ12s on cat5e in the wall now

I gotta make 2 of these 8.5' 7 cable bundles for control desks lol

[steel umbra]

Crimping tools cost like $7

[buoyant bridge]

The RJ12s are for joysticks

[buoyant bridge]

Good ones are like $85-$150

[steel umbra]

no cat 4 is the same, same as cat 5e and etc

[buoyant bridge]

I use some older Klein professional ones for everything

[buoyant bridge]

cat3*

[steel umbra]

??? I own a $7 one and it crimps every single time successfully

[buoyant bridge]

Are you doing shielded crimps or pass through?

[glacial cliff]

oh 100%. lying to an insurance, especially in the way i joked about, will not only catch you the felony charges for false police report, but also catch you a HUUUUGE judgement against you in civil side for insurance fraud, which is also criminal under other statutes, and make you uninsurable for the rest of your natural life.

don't do it kids, not worth it

[buoyant bridge]

passthroughs are hard to fuck off but are very unprofessional and not suitable for production environment

good modular crimpers cost like $100

[steel umbra]

shielded, unshielded, low freq shielded, pass through, non pass

[buoyant bridge]

modular is the only thing suitable for production environments 😭 😭 😭

[steel umbra]

for pass through i have diff crimper if i want to save myself 10 seconds by not cutting the excess myself

with a razor blade

[buoyant bridge]

I do not use pass through

[steel umbra]

i don't prefer pass through either

[buoyant bridge]

back when I got into networking in the early 2000s pass through was a new thing and the connectors failed VERY often after a few years

[steel umbra]

I just push until it reaches and crimp

[buoyant bridge]

so passthrough has a terrible reputation to me

[steel umbra]

Shorts are an issue if not careful

[buoyant bridge]

I haven't crimped a cat6/cat5 rj45 in years im sooo used to load bars

[steel umbra]

I don't even cut the into a straight row cable when i make the first cut

i just push them until i see the wires reach

[buoyant bridge]

most modular crimpers have a blade on them to cut for the load bar

[steel umbra]

I struggle with putting the wires in the correct direction, like my most common mistake is flipping the wires 180 degrees wrong into the connector and crimp it

[buoyant bridge]

I can make up a load bar connector pretty consistently in under 20 seconds

[steel umbra]

the order is fine and working but 180 degrees wrong so not worky

[buoyant bridge]

strip, fold, insert, cut, crimp

its STUPIDLY easy

[steel umbra]

Make sure you do the shielding part correct otherwise it may be useless or even harmful in handful of scenarios

[buoyant bridge]

my tester does shielding lol

G1 klien lan scout

[steel umbra]

$2 ones do

make sure you don’t have a group loop

like different potentials at each gnd

[latent gull]

They’re better for people who don’t make 100 cables but just a couple every once and a while. Sure I can do the other one, but I don’t hate myself

[steel umbra]

in most cases connecting one end of the ethernet cable is enough

if you do both you gotta ensure both gnds are clean

otherwise it’s not worth it over one

[steel umbra]

yes but you can get good ones for $7

[latent gull]

Good ones what?

[steel umbra]

klein is just overpriced in this

crimpers

[latent gull]

Oh no no I meant pass through connectors

Crimpers yeah I don’t care, I just got what was available fast, and Home Depot only carries Klein

[buoyant bridge]

the cheapo ones usually dont

[steel umbra]

the cheapest model from aliexpress has

works like a charm

those generic ones

that get rebranded by multiple brands

it’s not complicated circuitary

[glacial cliff]

bahahaha when i sent the parsed-down list of just the electronics items to the electronics technician company, and called to confirm she got it, the first thing the assessor asked was if this list was just electronics because the electronics only has like a few hundred items and 18 grand.

yes ma'am, that is just the electronics.

also HEY GUYS GUESS WAHAT GUESS WHAT

for the third time, my radiator is leaking. the first time caused water damage to 9 floors

the second time was just a pinhole leak and just made a small puddle on the floor of my apartment overnight

this time it's just a slow steady drip, and they left a drip pan after the second time so yay 😄

[plain cypress]

Central HVAC wins again /s

[hexed tapir]

xD

Guess you shouldn't do that as a renter though

[glacial cliff]

ye i was about to say not my place. maitnenance can fix that shit 😛

im giving them 1500 bucks a month for a damn studio apartment, you'd think they'd have their shit together

[hexed tapir]

Damn no bedrooms

[glacial cliff]

unfortunately, not commonly used in multi unit complexes in my region 😭

like every unit i've looked at pictures of on numerous rental websites the past 3 or so years has been in-wall window units with baseboard or in-wall radiator heat

[hexed tapir]

A studio that costs more money than a full time federal minimum wage $7.25hr person can make

$18k a year for shelter vs the $15k the minimum wage worker makes

[glacial cliff]

#landofthefree(topaytherich)

[mint umbra]

1500 a month isnt alot in these days

average rent were im at is like 1800

[hexed tapir]

Would be nearly half my income before tax, car/ health insurance food, gas etc etc

[glacial cliff]

i think it's just about half of what my job pays before tax and deductions

[mint umbra]

im aware its a big portion of ppls money but thats just how it goes for real estate these days

[glacial cliff]

it's more than 2/3 of my takehome from my job though

i'd be homeless if not for my disabled vet benefits

[hexed tapir]

Id be homeless if I didn't live in my parents basement

[glacial cliff]

yeah i tried that. that was plan a for 3-6 months when i got out of the military, then both of my parents sold their homes and downsized within 3 monthes before i got out and was no longer an option

[gleaming rose]

:3

[tulip sparrow]

*facepalms" https://youtube.com/shorts/HiE2KR4DP2M

[glacial cliff]

hope they had good insurance 😄

[quasi field]

Is this fps good?

[hexed tapir]

Dont worry Nvidia says it's not a problem

[tulip sparrow]

Uh what?

[mint umbra]

user error

[tulip sparrow]

Ok nothing I can do thanks to the c word being in the url besides a shortner

I assume that's why it's getting hit

I assume those are banned as well then?

[topaz shale]

thats unfortunate lol

[hexed tapir]

https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/nvidia-says-melting-power-connectors-are-a-thing-of-the-past/ a thing of the past frfr

[steel umbra]

where are my tolerances

btw the connector will never be meltage free at those wattages

as the pins are barely within safe spec

which means there is little headroom for errors unlike 6+2

[solemn condor]

so i got this usb stick and downloaded windows on it but the usb stick is not showing up in the bios or as a bootable thing

[mint umbra]

was using this streamio app for a while watching content

but think im gunna go back to paid apps

as subtitles often just dont work

[steel umbra]

they should've kept 12v-6x2 rated for 450w

i think only one thing more hilarious would be if they announce that it can do 750w or something

[warm linden]

Guys is an RTX 3060 for 600 usd a good deal

[hexed tapir]

Did they put 48gb of vram in it?

[bold olive]

does it want 24 volts or smth 😭

[buoyant bridge]

This isn't even the most cables I've wired into one bundle before lmfao

I've done several cmr80s back in the 2000s (I wonder if those even exist since analog telephone is dead)

when you need tons of phone line

[grizzled frost]

looks like a stage box cable

[buoyant bridge]

It's a cat3 multi pair

[warm anvil]

Laptop won't let me login bro

😭

[buoyant bridge]

pov Linux user

[warm anvil]

Dude I updated earlier

Now I turn my laptop on and it's joever

[buoyant bridge]

yeah

[ivory mountain]

Linux moment

[jaunty apex]

Had this happen once, rebooted and it was fine. Idk what the issue was

[buoyant bridge]

You got fail gnomed

that's usually what I see when it happens

(getting gnomed is when you have a assortment of packages installed that causes gnome to install, sometimes it can fuck up your login manager

[grizzled frost]

32 channel stage box snakes get crazy

3 conductors per channel mind you

[buoyant bridge]

evertime I fucked with multi pairs I stripped like 3 foot back and then fed it in so I had plenty to work with and cut as needed

[grizzled frost]

thankfully stageboxes are almost always pre terminated

terminating 32 xlr from a single snake would genuinely make me lose my mind

[buoyant bridge]

doesn't xlr have to be soldered

[grizzled frost]

Mhm

[buoyant bridge]

Id quit

[grizzled frost]

96 soldered connections would be mind numbingly painful

[buoyant bridge]

Unless there's like one of those special solder heads that does a connector at once

[grizzled frost]

Mind you almost every XLR cable is hand soldered, so for every stage box, someone had to solder it

[grizzled frost]

Not in the stage boxes i’ve seen

Thankfully the industry is slowly moving away from it in favor of dante, but the classic stage boxes are still the most common

[buoyant bridge]

Nicer soldering stations have replaceable heads that can do a lot of special shit

[grizzled frost]

dante is a networking protocol, so instead of a 32 xlr snake, it’s a single ethernet cable

[buoyant bridge]

I've got one with heads that'll solder various USB connectors in one go

[tranquil wharf]

🤔 I find it hard to believe mass produced XLR cables are hand soldered each

[buoyant bridge]

Most are hand soldered actually

I know the Dayton audio ones are probably machine made because they're spot welded

[sinful cobalt]

fans

[buoyant bridge]

no company really makes a crimpable xlr connector and it's too complex to machine solder

spot welding machines for it exist but they're spotty at best horrible at worst

[tranquil wharf]

a cable with 3 wires sounds very simple compared to the vast majority of cable types out there these days

[frigid blade]

Cat moment

[tranquil wharf]

like, are 24-wire usb-c cables also all hand-soldered?

if 3 is already "too complex" for machines

[bold olive]

i love pi

(I do not know how tf I'm gon solve this)

[tranquil wharf]

this looks like a software and/or config issue 🤔

[bold olive]

I'm already sick of it

I give up

[south arrow]

[grizzled frost]

common to have a small stand you put the connector on and push the wire into the adapter, it goes super quick, but still requires human intervention, so is technically “hand soldered”

[dense mango]

The logs say EventLog reports that the system shutdown unexpectedly, Kernel Power reports that it rebooted without cleanly shutting down (no BSOD this time), and WHEA Logger reports that a fatal hardware error has occurred in the processor core via machine check exception with type cache hierarchy error.

[plucky lodge]

kek

[dense mango]

How do I run the tests I need to?

Can anyone else pick up where they left off?

[junior merlin]

There's a CPU stability test in OCCT

[red light]

I forgot ltsc existed

[junior merlin]

Just run that

[red light]

https://youtu.be/yp9Ui0DSXbI?si=zaWR7ARUVf9vcDpz

[dense mango]

Help me with the GUI where is that

There are a whole bunch of checkmarks next to a bunch of different component based metrics, idk what do with that.

IDK I just checked them all and started the test.

[pale flint]

bro bought his pc from facebook marketplace

[dense mango]

Should I be waiting a certain amount of time for the test?

[dense mango]

Ok so an extreme CPU test caused a no-BSOD crash after about 3 minutes.

[nimble bluff]

capacitors on a magically working Xenon 360 from 2005

[tidal geyser]

Capacitors are not required but strongly adviced, the big issue there is it leaking chemicals over the board destroying solder and such.

[midnight wind]

5 electrical engineers died from that statement

[bold olive]

500 watts to the cpu!
aye captain

[nimble bluff]

the psu is only 203w lol

[bold olive]

only??

dam those caps endured

[tidal geyser]

Ofc certain caps are required

[livid fern]

For mobo?

I assume

[tidal geyser]

you can live without a lot of capacitors on most electronics

[livid fern]

Indeed but usually not in PSUs considering the ripple size then

[tidal geyser]

more for stability but some are for it just being able to turn on

[tidal geyser]

who cares do the full 240v ripple

see how it goes

[livid fern]

Nou
No 240mV

Usually some caps are taken off for excursion testing

[frosty oriole]

Ay, decent FPS with RT enabled, and I haven't even overclocked it yet.

[sinful cobalt]

[obtuse onyx]

Hmmm

[frosty oriole]

I have XESS on either balanced or quality (I forget), I'll have to see what it runs at without that.

[sinful cobalt]

was the 3080 always this weak

i’d expect like 20k for a 3080 idk

[mint umbra]

Think I'm gunna get fold 8 when it comes out

[obtuse onyx]

Mine is power limited

I wanna oc too but i cant

[scarlet marlin]

hi guys I'm running into a issue where my gpu is showing it's in x4 lane instead of x16?

my mobo only has 1x x16 slot

and it's on that

[frosty oriole]

That's like the same as my 2080 Ti.

[obtuse onyx]

Im power limited

[frosty oriole]

What card?

[obtuse onyx]

Im running 300 watts over a Daisy chained 8 pin

[obtuse onyx]

3080 vision oc

[frosty oriole]

Does it have a BIOS switch?

[obtuse onyx]

No

My 9060xt did but this one doesnt

[frosty oriole]

Dang.

[obtuse onyx]

Im buying a 2nd 8 pin cable soon so then i can oc it

Im nowhere near being temp limited

Lmao

[frosty oriole]

I mean, you can technically run 300W through an 8-pin.

[obtuse onyx]

Yeah i can also run 450 tru it, doesnt mean its smart

[frosty oriole]

If you managed that, it'd be impressive.

[frosty oriole]

I'm only saying this because I've done it personally.

[obtuse onyx]

My friend is using a evga 3080ti with a single 8 pin to 3 8 pins

[frosty oriole]

Jeez, alright.

The funny thing is, provided you have a decent power supply, it's theoretically safer to run 300W through an 8-pin connector rated for 150W than it is to run 600W through the 12VHPWR connector rated for 600W.

[sinful cobalt]

ur literally hitting max tgp

[versed ferry]

No magic smoke? That's impressive

https://tenor.com/view/explosion-electricity-fire-motherboard-burn-motherboard-gif-14144736904296963240

[brave brook]

put it under load. Many GPUs drop down lanes when idling. Press the Question mark icon next to the lane information and press start render test

[brave brook]

i had a board generate magic spark in the chipset area. It still powers on, but it always fails on memory code (55). Oh well, it was a 14 year old board anyway

[nimble bluff]

Indeed

[raven scroll]

Haven’t dusted my aio in a while

God damn the top panel is crusty

[brave brook]

i hate that this front panel button thingy (picture from ali) has one major issue. on a mATX board it collides with bigger GPUs 😄

[livid fern]

Over that 😉

If it's a HCS 16g

18g will be around 310w

[sleek ibex]

[livid fern]

16g will be around 355w

Not to mention that one EPS can technically do 480w

[glass cypress]

Guys can I get a decent good pc for around 350$

[brave brook]

look around on the used market, but tone down your expectations

i mean you will probably look at something like 8th gen Intel i5 + RX580, or 10th gen i5 + RX570 type of builds. Or 2600x + 1660 Super. All with 16GB RAM

[glass cypress]

I found a 1060 with i5 7400 yesterday for like 250$

[glass cypress]

I’ve been looking just can’t find nothing like really good

[brave brook]

7th gen is not officially Windows 11 compatible

[glass cypress]

What about a 1669 super i7 4970 k

24 Gn Ram

Gb

[brave brook]

again, your issue will be official Windows 11 compatibility. Recommending Ryzen 2000 series or newer or Intel i5 8000 series or newer

[glass cypress]

Shiii

Im so lost tbh 😭

[median pilot]

anyone in here good with computers

[clever lodge]

good with computers in what way

[median pilot]

in like some of my security setting won’t enable and a file or something is blocking the settings from enabling

@clever lodge

[clever lodge]

idk lol i use sordum to completely disable my av

so i couldnt help u

[frosty ruin]

Fail of the week

[vivid sparrow]

Hello I have lian li tl fans already in my pc, but now need three others. I see in my country they only sell wireless now. Can I still connect them to the hub if I have the cable needed or will it not work?

[scarlet marlin]

I tried it but it still doesn't show x16 but I reseated the gpu and it fixed it

[cold skiff]

How many ssds you got

If you got 2 or more, then it won’t go 16x on a 12700

It’s only got 20 lanes son

[scarlet marlin]

2x

[random gyro]

hi, can some1 help me troubleshoot my performance issues with my new build?

[cold skiff]

That’s your problem then. Each ssd uses 4 lanes. You’re left with 12. It should go 8x but it’s going 4x so… I guess you got your answer now.

Do a #1027757333117415424 with your full system specs and where the SSDs are in. Mobo

[glass cypress]

Guys I’ve saved up around 300-350$ should I keep saving or buy a used pc?

[cold skiff]

For $350 I assume you can only buy ewaste so keep saving

[glass cypress]

Im just gonna use it for like school and sometimes cs2
