its already overclocked
its late, not many people in tc2
not particularly in the sense im talking
its so over
YouTube ads have become so intrusive in the last year, especially on their mobile and TV apps where you can't really use an ad blocker
youtube premium
then what?
more indepth timing changes to things like
tRRD_L
tRRD_S
tFAW
tREFI
tRFC
I've been paying for youtube premium probably for more than 10 years now
it was called youtube red back then lol
My household consumes a lot of youtube. I think it's worth it because of the smart tv's
cant really install ad blockers on TV's (you can't right? lol)
i rather enjoy the ad free mobile listening + being able to listen when my phone is locked
yea includes youtube music too
I did try to tighten some of my timings and the RAM started having errors
I even tried some of the "Memory Try it" setups and then slower the timings on those with a voltage boost but this Ram does not really want tighten XD
dont need to pay for spotify]
i do a lot of solo, highly mobile work, so it’s nice listening to a youtube video while i work
surely they dont sell out in the next 4 days
skill issue but literally
pop on an hour or two long lore video of a game i like, and i’m set
warhammer lore
or the entire playlist for an analog horror series
that one is fun to do in a pitch black theater with no one else there
More like bad Silicon issue but either or
no
1k seat auditorium and nothing but analog horror playing
you just literally have a skill issue im not putting this in any way other than that
i dont think theres a single ram kit ive ran into where i just, couldnt change timings anywhere from auto
and i promise i have experience with a lot
I have manual timings i just couldn't push it as low as i wanted 
you’re more likely to win than lottery than have that happen
present them
it's okay just ziptie a 120mm fan to your cpu aio watercooler's tubes and point it at your ram
then jack up trefi and profit
ik, i’m sad i couldn’t push my ddr5 6000 kit to 6200 16-16-16-16
yeah and trfc
i dont think a single timing i mentioned is in here thats what im sayin
use hwinfo memory timings tab
I tried lower tRas and it became unstable same with Cas at 32/34/36 with a 0.1 voltage boost from 1.25 to 1.35 it would not remain stable
96gb but 2 sticks with AMD IMC. my 9800x3d did 6200mt/s. 9950x3d cant.
5000 trefi i think is the lowest ive ever seen
which is not a good thing to clarify
change ts to 49152
tRRD_L to 12
i’m running 6200 30-36-36-36 on my corsair 2x48 6000 kit rn
put a fan on it then, pretty terrible conditions if so
dual ccd chips will struggle more with memory
i run a variety of different configurations depending on what i did the week prior
6000 1:1 30-36-36-33 on my 6400 cl32 kit. my 9800x3d can do 6200 with same motherboard and RAM
rn im still on a modified XMP version of 8600
i had fun overclocking for a few hours, now i just want it to work
its max temps only reached 55C
running a 7800x3d btw
then i dont think what caused you to fail was trefi
I have a RAM cooler with two 60mm fans
nice
i don’t, fuck that shit
6400 is already a hassle to get on AMD except for 9850x3d
Also my 9950x3d can do 6200C26 granted h16a
better than anything 40mm based, approved
my ram can die of asphyxiation before i put a fan on it
sff case, ram airflow is optional
all jokes aside, airflow around the ram is pretty good in the formd T1
plus i’m using custom heatsinks (mostly for aesthetics but should be a minor improvement)
heres a flex screenshot cause 8600 is disappointing
I honestly just use Spotify for that, it seems a lot of creators (or just random people online?) upload their content onto Spotify and my mom pays for Spotify premium for us
No idea at this point i could just buy a 9950X3D and not deal with intels BS 
9000 C36 meow
my RAM cooler also cools the motherboard. active cooling is nice
most of the people i watch don’t, plus i don’t have spotify
equal to 6400 c24 in first word
run 6000 c22
flying
i think 24 is tcl register minimum? 22 might be
i have no idea
Ah, okay, we just use Spotify like a lot, 90% of the time I'm out of the house if I'm not with friends I've got my headphones on listening to music, same with my mom, I wish I could convince her to pay for YouTube premium for us but she doesn't use it enough to justify it
yeah thats faster than 5.9ghz 13900ks daily fyi
5.9 13900ks 8+16 no ht was 1.25 10^10
quite a good lil scorer this one
X3D doesnt care as much with ram speeds too. perfect for this economy
i work solo in the theater for hours on end, so i have plenty of time to binge new videos
audiobooks are also nice
that’s how i finished the dunk and egg novellas in one day
yeah it will just be a pain in the ass to swap everything to a new board + disabling TPM/SB 😂
the arrow lake redeemer
yeah you just have to diddle the cpu the right way
i don’t think that’s the right verb floppa
its the optimal verb
understandable, have a day
thank you
noice
it does require a thorough handling
you could mayhaps even say fondling

but it turns on and works again
Well thank you peeps for you input honestly i tried a lot of things to try and figure out why my 1% lows sucked and didn't really think about the CPU being the main issue
i will have to redo the resistor
i personally drill holes in the misbehaving cpus
the top is so gross cause LM btw yall
that’s how i keep getting new necklaces
this poor cpu has been through hell
the bad cpus get the drill press
yeah with a piece of the substrate gone im surprised it works
figured that was why it didnt power on
but its also so minor that i had some hope
& yeah seems to work just fine
my god, i didn’t even see how bad it was at first
yeah you gotta zoom in
that cpu has been brutalized
its delidded and lm too and allat
not a normal persons cpu
i need to make a maester’s chain out of cpu’s i’ve drilled holes into
the 265K will suffer the same fate when NVL is closer
“each cpu signifies a lesson my NAS has learned”
although i think i m done using LM on the top of cpus
makes the poor thing look so sad
my NAS cpu is the goat. it idles at 2-3w hehe.
but when youre delidding its like a when in rome scenario
i did this with a couple gpus for keychains its a great idea do it
idk what my nas cpu does at idle but its a 10700 so i imagine nothing
@thorny saddle 👁️
i also can confidently say i am good enough at ram oc for my server to chill at a month+ of uptime with oced ram no issue
okay this means nothing tho
consider non retail bios
or just that the cpu fits in the socket
yeah i haven’t seen proof of it actually working
and does nothing else lol
China shit in an apex?
thats 12p
Oh 12p 0e
yeah
Interesting
Do we know like Cinebench
nah nothing about it
at least from what i know but its probably like, 6
idk i dont think 12p cores locked at an arbitrary clock speed like 5.4 is going to be good
we literally call e cores cinebench boosters
if it was unlocked and could do 5.9 allcore it would be a different story for enthusiast gamers
a 14900K at 7.7 ghz
w/ no e enabled in r23
scores........32630
monolithic cpu so should be decent hehe
it’s 5.3 allcore so it would be ~33,500
definitely not worth buying but i’d want one anyway if i found out that it’ll work in my taichi
however the first 12p core consumer(ish) desktop cpu we have from either side without any quarks to the usage
just because it’s interesting and niche
I can't decide what to do with these coolers. The left one has broken lock tabs but both work fine
recycle
hey I built a pc yesterday with Msi Z790 gaming plus Wifi, i5 14600kf, Arctic Freezer III pro 360 AIO, 32 GB ddr 5 from kingston, Rtx 4070 and the Lian Li V100, I played some Fortnite and my cpu temps are between 65 and 70 but when I benched my cpu in OCCT it reaches 95-97 degrees in like 5 seconds pulling around 181W and with this cooling power I don t think is normal ( I removed the stickers)
I should take the left one and mount it to my quest 2 and replace the stock fan with that cooler😆
Then the quest 2 won't run hot ever again
its basically ewaste unless you need to cool some i3's
Weak
I used it on my i5 10400f and worked well
nice
I probably save the right one as a back up if I need it for anything
Now i think of it I could maybe use the left one as a cooler for a raspberry pie?
I hate to through something out that still works but it's probably best to get rid of the left one
i have a floor pc so lcd doesn't matter too much to me, i just didn't feel like adding more rgb bloatware to my computer outside of armoury
Does DDR5 still not play nice with 4 sticks?
the bigger problem is that your bank account doesn't play nice with 4 sticks of ddr5
4 sticks is cheaper than 2
i was using my pc this morning and then my screen flashed blue then all my fans started on max speed.
when i restarted my pc i got 5 short beeps (cpu error)
this is one of the issues in the photo attached.
should i also look into a new motherboard / cpu or do you think that just replacing the gpu will fix all the issues
It sounds like EVERYTHING needs a replacement
that sounds good
Considering your card has SLI fingers... you've got a fairly old system anyways
There's your second problem
huh
14th gen intel likes to fry itself
Someone else will have to chime in
if the cpu died will i also need a new motherboard or will it survive?
I'm not sure, I'm not well versed on the 14th gen problems
trying to play requiem and i'm getting this crash error. 100% consistent... i have a 6800xt
seems like this is a common crash error on other capcom games like mh wilds
whats going on?
my friend wants a gaming laptop and he has a budget of like 850 what do yall suggest
not a laptop as they degrade fast and have poor price to performance
yes i know i told him in every world a gaming laptop is bad but he wants one cus he travels and stuff
I have gotten that error on Dragon Age Vielguard so I assume it's an engine issue and not just tied to any one developer/publisher
I couldn't play more then like an hour and a half without it popping up
Nothing you can honestly do to fix it
paid $88 CAD for this btw
thanks anyway
i know it's an engine issue as i see monster hunter wilds has the same thing for some people
Not just Capcom games get the error lol
ive never had an issue like this before on any other game. i know you say it with dragon age but still. at the very least it's prominently a capcom engine issue
Do yall think it’s time for a new controller? I’ve had this one since it came out. I want to hold off until the series 3 is released but this one barely works now😳
Just spent $400 on aesthetics instead of an upgrade 👍. Call me big brain from now on
nostalgia cant feel that good bro get urself a new one
Bro goes to use his Dpad
any ideas why my phillips hue bulb exploded? unlucky or user error
Casing can't be that much😭
No, but these screws are stripped😂I just ordered a new one
If you dont have stickdrift you're good
I have worse than stick drift😂I dropped it today and well…
Skill issue
😂😂it all started when I let my lil brother borrow it
Have you been using the controller for 10 years or something
Like 6
I dont let other people use my controllers they always move the sticks too hard like an idiot
I bought it the Black Friday when it came out
Came out in 2015
Is that a one?
Doesnt look like a series 2
I also dont know how they look without the shell either
It’s a 2
Well did it
And YouTube revanced is telling me to update now
I did just try updating and yeah didn't work
Ok it would look like google dropped support for version 19
Had to disable spoof app version in YouTube revanced settings
MOAAAAR CACHE
I don't think any user error could and should lead to explosion so unlucky and file a big complaint to Phillips saying how scandalous it is blabla they'll probably send you free stuff to shut you up
Do precise that your electrical installation is brand new in your brand new house even if it's fake lmao
My dad used to do this kind of complaints and it usually works haha
Once we had some strange water from a big water bottle brand, he messaged them (all our family thought he was crazy and that the water was somewhat normal)
Few days later someone from the brand came to our house and asked if he could take the bottles for analysis, said nothing
Then few weeks later we received dozens of 6 packs water bottles lmao
Is raid 0 worth it for nvme drives? I haven't set up striped drives since my boot drive was 2 7200rpm hdds back when I had a xeon x5660
no
Like if I had 4x 1tb nvmes in a pcie adapter card and striped them
Ah ic thank you internet person
Seems like it'd be a goofy way to make my drive speed number high
id guess the bottleneck would be network speed way before its drive speed
cpu bottleneck
but dw cause after a few launches and a couple hours in-game it goes really quick
ah i thought you meant in a nas type thing
in games yeah ur probably cpu limited before storage speed limited
"stalker 2 takes ages to load in"
as soon as he said that I knew, those first few shader compilation are nasty
did i find cheap ram or am i gonna get jugged
i asked them what software version it is, maybe i can have fun with it
sold my 870 evo 1tb for 65€, now i see one being sold for 85€
though ig thats not as bad
Lmao
i bought this drive new like a year ago for 50€ anyway
replaced it with a new 990 pro 2tb for 115€ in september right before shit hit the fan 😭
i sold 32gb ddr4 for £30 early last year sigh
was corsair with rgb aswell, probly worth millions
lmaoo
sometimes i get an offer that id accept but i got it too quickly
then i think its actually worth more and wait
then i settle 2 weeks later for the same offer by a different person
yeah ive learned to not get stuck up about 5€
i increased the price by 10€ 😭
it took me 6 months to sell a keyboard once :o
Diabolical I usually sell them within a week or two
membrane sure but damn its corsair and it looks good
pretty sure someone offered me 15€ in the first week and i said no
6 months later extra 5€ oh yeah baby
looks awful
😭 😭
good sale though
yeah looks pretty cheap actually, main problem for me was that it was way too large for my desk
its like 110% or something
i guess its a sign i should lower the price of my keyboard by 10€
otherwise i wouldve been fine with a membrane keyboard
though this apex pro tkl is pretty okay for 50€ too
What the freak
sheeesh
a stream deck in your keyboard
advanced macros
350$ interesting pricing
poor people can create a macro and put a discord sticker over it or something
Lmao
love a dedicated deafen button
i just use home on my keyboard to deafen and end to mute
ive got it set to some weird combination i never remember
i should probably change that
ye u should i have these 4 keys i never use so they're all just shortcuts pgup pgdn home end
setting up your keyboard around your apps? pfffff
setting up your apps around your keyboard 
f13 - f14 - f15 -f16 gang
convinced nobody needs this
Same
meanwhile I am on a 60%
you're either a layer ninja or you're a mouse workflow purist
no inbetween
Ive come a long way. Im getting closer to reaching my goal
The last person I would've expected
how come
from normal to weird windows 7 bar to no gui
Help
I have this UI im working on, and idk, it feels unreadable it feels bad design but I can't tell why, it has nothing that is not needed but at the same time it feels hard to use
too many buttons
Horribly assumed connection with having server infrastructure 
Linux moment
Reboot it
hey
yes but that doesn't stop me from keyboarding
I'm Larping
240 aio hurts
Evidently 
Progress Progress
Wtf is this
Goes back in my xeon rig after I buy a 360mm aio and 5700X3d
and 2 red dragon gpus
🥀
money spread, hope this works
I sshed into my arch pc
A friend of mine wants to get an ipad for drawing. Any recommendations in particular?
only one of the microns turned out to be 2666, the other 2 is a 2400 kit
though for the price i cant complain (if it works)
if rebooting solved it I wouldn't have posted this
breaking into your home as we speak
everyone knows memory should be embedded in the soc
no! that makes it harder to steal
wait wha
Just realized that I can just do this to keep my CPU busy so the PC doesn't crash
no more cooler needed just use outside
condensation is a thing
most interesting
it’s not subambient if the ambient is that cold
they made the terminal woke
cope
i accidentally made the Bi Flag while i was designing the lights for our musical
Just bought a new GPU: gigabyte Rx 9070 xt gaming oc
Just received it and I have a few issues:
- it has 3 x 8 pins slots but right now I only have one pcie 8 pins câble that splits in 2 at the end. So I only have 2 plugged in, and in terms of power I assume it's not great having essentially just one pcie câble for an entire 9070 xt
- the PSU is 750w
- my CPU, i7 13700k, has 2 x 8 pins slots on the motherboard but only one is populated. I've been running it like this for a while idk
I'm worried I'll be forcing too much power through a single pcie câble for the GPU risking it melting or smth
What do you guys think?
Damn
one 8 pin with a pig tail is not enough
you either need a new PSU, or find the extra cables for the PSU
the single 8pin on the motherboard is fine
with the configuration you have, the PSU can only supply 150w to the GPU
Yeah the cables are like 600km away at my parents' place, I forgot my PSU box there lol
I think I'll just buy a new PSU
True
Ive been wanting to upgrade it anyways
Don't use the GPU in that config
Not even a bit? :[
best case your computer will shut itself off when the PSU detects the power draw, worst case it doesn't and those cables get toasty
I understand, hearing confirmation from someone else helps at times
If it was a little over the rated power draw i wouldn't be too worried, but you're at more than double the rated power
9070xt can pull up to 340W
I love custom keyboards
Playing peak rn
I made my dream keyboard a little while ago and it's amazing
silent, hand lubed switches
Sick
super pretty keycap set from osume
(as in i hand lubed them)
Factory lube is pretty good, i honestly would try hand lubing though
fun fact: i never owned a mechanical keyboard
(ik you didn't ask for it)
@grizzled frost I ordered a PSU and it's arriving in 5 hours this is insane
Thought I'd have to wait a few days at least
did bro pay for same day delivery
Would this be alright for light gaming?
Intel Core i7 (8th Gen 6-core 8850H)
- 80GB RAM DDR4
- 2 x 512GB NVMe drives
- Intel UHD 630
- NVIDIA Quadro P5200 16GB GDDR5
- skærm 17.3" - IPS 1920x1080 (FullHD)
- oryginal strømforsyning 240W
- Windows 11 PRO - gendannet til fabriksindstillinger
Its a Dell Precision 7730
Goes for 7900 DKK (obviously overpriced, but may be able to haggle)
aio is back
awww yea, overlubed silent
good shit
I refuse to describe what that sounds like.
Ouch
Also 80gb ram whaaattt
Cute birds
3200 cl 22 is jedec for 3200 mhz
what psu do you have exactly?
the question is what psu does he have first before suggesting another one dude, as a 750w psu could still work though might be cutting it close as it's on the lower end for that cpu
majorly over priced, being charged double for what it's actually worth dude
8th gen intel, plus pascal mobile dgpu, 600 at best is what it's worth
aka around 3500dkk
then why are you talking here?
i wouldn't consider this good cable management but like I guess it isn't all over the place
thoughts ?
it works but yeah could be slightly better
what would you do, probably add more ties to separate stuff I guess,
case wires are not placed in the best place
that would be the start but at the same time you can take greater advantage of any longer wires going through the little black tray at the top and layer them
that psu is known to have a firework show
also, case wires are never placed optimally in a case
also thoughts on the power supply? I never heard of a super flower PSU but I seen the review praising it
first time I saw someone using a superflower psu
hella good psu
yeah guy at the store was shilling it to me and I was like wth is a superflower
dude, this is a corsair sfx-l, it don't explode, wtf are you on about
making him freak out
they're an odm for some brands
that is a dumb take when it comes to a decent psu
if i recall correctly there's nzxt
well yeah
Thanks
it's obviously ironic
yeah and they always come in different shapes like in this case it's individual pins but the other case I had it was a full plug, and then it's always some cheap wire u gotta just toss it downwards
is it the leadex gold iii
disabled the led's on the sapphire nitro+ ?
yeah
if you want, grab a dupont connector kit and you can always repin the connector for the front header
I had a msi mag p650 but It was due for an upgrade cuz I plan on future proofing a little and I got a better CPU
which pcie gen drive did you pick
eh, p650 refers to gigabyte for a psu, not msi
I forgot but It is a msi for sure
do you mean b650?
it's definitely a mag 650 but I remember a letter in between
like a650bn which is a well known msi mag psu
🤔
I didn't upgrade my nvme yet!
but I got a 9850x3d
ur on sata??
the only thing for that is if you want greater capacity, which can be added via secondry dirve
sata ssd totally fine for running an OS from
I have one also, its nice
id rather use my gen 3 slot
pretty sure it's faster too
are you asking about my storage?
Hi
iirc it's a 4x4 nvme
I need help
what's up
My pc doesn't boots on some days
ah, still controllable rgb on it no?
😭, so there's a 24 hour cool down each day
No its random
sequntially faster, doesn't mean faster loading for the OS
your OS, and games drives don't care about the sequential speed of the drive
what's ur specs how old is ur PC and what happens is there lights showing up or it doesn't boot or show any signs of light
Yes
Sometimes it will go into a post loop
means it's a gen 4 drive
Saved Part Lists
4x4 just means gen 4 pcie x4 speed
Its old and kinda mid
Tomorrow
from this
😭?
great job nvidia
that looks like what shows up on a secondary screen when at the ubuntu login
did it think you had two displays plugged in?
maybe
but the second display is off
so maybe its trying to 'find' the second display but cant
all its looking for is EDID from it
which some displays give even when off
Ubuntu only shows the login on what it thinks is the primary display, not what you have configured as the primary display, which is kinda dumb, but does mean that if you have some other display it thinks is primary for whatever reason, thats where it'll show up
afaik, it doesnt show on what you've configured as primary because that config isn't loaded until after you login
when i used the two displays i set up the primary display as my primary display
also linux expert pls send help
🥺
theres replacement displays on aliexpress for 70€ 🤔
the login screen doesn't consider what you configured, it uses whatever one is "first" on the GPU (the ports are ordered)
mmm weird
whatever one is identified as "1", thats where your login will show up
well yeah the hdmi port is on the leftmost
ugly af
are you using x11?
its wayland on ubuntu 25.10
\
fun
😔
legit the last couple of days im just spamming sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
infact im doing it rn
why?
when ubuntu patches it
what app is it?
spotify
and a couple others that i do not recall the name
oh no
some companies dont really care about the linux app, so you get shit that works, but isn't polished
i tried reinstalling spotify using different methods
snap and apt
both ended up windows 7 + 8 taskbar
almost guaranteed thats just an electron app (embedded chromium)
why not pin a tab in firefox instead of using the dedicated app?
ima try flatpak
I choose not to believe this
good choice, already chewed him out about it
correct
you picked the best sfx psu
you should refuse
i was expecting it tbh
Ah I just read the rest lol
Apparently it can be kinda noisy under load?
I have good warranty coverage, if it turns out to be the case I can exchange it
all psu's do this when under high load tbh
I was suggested the Asus rgo Loki as well
Same price for me
Well like 5 bucks difference
just as good tbh
both are tier A sfx psu's
ATX 3.0 (ROG) vs 3.1 (sf1000) tho
Man Asus Laptops are so cheap in quality
I get an OLED Laptop from them and I don't get HDR
<@&750150305383186585> another of these cryptro scams
well yeah unless you want the transformers and capacitors to fry
idiots do be falling for them to much
downgrading my spotify to fix that windows 7 bs
hey guys
what does this event mean
so basically what happened is my laptop, when using lightly it froze, and screen went black. Pressed on power button and turned it on, fixed it.
every time i see flatpak mentioned, i instantly go "ikea?"
GPU is working normally it seems
ran furmark for 10 mins, completely normal results.
78 degrees, 115w
my brain is fried trying to see what the hell does it want for my native icons
Oooh
HELL YEAH
sf1000 is the goat
big w to this guy
I feel validated
technically sf750 was the goat sfx psu for a long while, though also the ax1000/1200i and hx1000/1200 on atx psu
not me who knows a line of code for powershell to basically have spotify premium in their app for free
spotify premium = spotify with no ads
Am i cooked?
how
(me who i got shared a paid spotify premium)
Can anyone help me? Check tech support channel
'yea no fk you im gonna stay on 15 hz'
My laptop froze, and screen went blank, reset and working normally. But I’m worried what if it happens again
requires you to download spotify app from spotify and not ms store, then the code i'mma send you in a dm
I’ve tested the GPU furmark stress test 10 mins, fully normal. CPU is also good
If anyone can check #1476951317506162863
furmark is not a stress test for gpu's, that's just a power virus, use occt instead
technically a stress test too
gtav enhanced is a good stress test
occt actually has a stress test for gpu's, also stabilty testing for them
What test is it?
h
I really hate myself with gta 5 enhanced
gta 5 was in my backlog for the longest time. decided to finally finish it (I was in a bugged mission and watched a youtube video and finally got over it)
after finishing the game. a week later GTA 5 enhanced came out. I was so mad lol
throttling in geoda
you have 3d adaptive, amd vram on the stabilty test in the first place, then there's a test under benchmark for it the gpu
I tested this
its stable, same as furmark, there is no difference
I updated the bios

Looks like SignalRGB did not work for me, can I use Razer Chroma to control everything connected to the motherboard? (MSI)
My new GPU is 50% faster than my old one
Is this noticeable in real world applications?
not really
try openrgb instead then
Do you really need ultrawide tho
mystic light is the default msi app for use with argb/rgb
Can I via the Synapse app?
I just had another thought about this,
Since it is a 5950x,
Could it be the VRM's overheating?
ur vrms will throttle unless u disable that
so no
Ill have to have her look at the bios again-
that's for only use with razer stuff, it's garbage
depending on the board, yes some might overheat
its an asus tuf b550 plus wifi II
this shouldn't overheat at all then, the vrms on that can handle up to 200A
hmmm...
yeah that board's got good vrm's
decent deal or nah?
Hi, i just finished building my first pc and i am trying to get my argb to work on my b450 pro4 board. The fans do spin but the rgb is not turning on. Does anyone know what i am doing wrong? The led button doesnt work either
Thats a robbery my friend. (In your favor)
every company makes some shit products
and every company makes some good products
You've gotta engage critical thought to do some mental math and differentiate one from the other
assuming used
as long as the health is over 95%? Deal
it is used - but gen 4 I believe, for £90 you can’t really argue with it, especially being crucial
I gave my cousin a 2TB 980 Pro the other day. felt bad about current prices and he said he badly needs it
indeed
Just remember it's gen 3, so it would be old, so check the drive health when you get it
awh thats so sweet
atleast you get like 5 years warranty with it 
2TB 990 Pro was $400 last time I checked. nuts
100% worth the try atp
i gave a kid a monitor for free i was selling it for 90 but he kept on calling tryna haggle the price so i just felt bad for him
he's an older cousin of mine. I have so much memories of him doing the same a long time ago
he gave me a few PC hardware he wasn't using back in the day
qlc nand drive but at the cost of what a 2tb drive is lately, a good chunk of a deal
holy fuck what
it was 2TB 980 Pro inside my PS5 with zero games on it. id rather have my cousin use it instead.
ssds prices gon up also?
yea it's horrible
4TB 990 Pro is $700+
it used to be 199.99
but like I said, it depends on drive health.
SSDs do have finite lifespans
just have more ssds
fuck the 970 Evo Plus
I kinda predicted the bs. I was "wealthy" enough to give my cousin a 2TB 980 Pro hehe
it’ll do fine for me - I’ve always used a hdd alongside a non-brand ssd, so anything’s better than nothing, drive health will be interesting though
Mrrp
as an ssd it would be pretty meh in 2024-5 but it's 2026 so... yes probably
I passed my probation so I celebrate by buying a pink board @rigid fjord
I bought a few 4TB gen4 ssd's when pricing was so much more reasonable. I kinda freaked out with the tariffs. fluked out this one
grats
Imagine being affected by tariffs for ssd prices
i want it
got lucky. I upgraded my PC, bought a bunch of hard drives and ssd's. I didnt do everything right
I sold a 4080 super ITX PC for cheap and didnt buy 5090 from nvidia email
it's fine. I'll take my dubs and L's.
what's the psu that's being used?
I won't upgrade my GPU until this whole AI shit blowsover
corsair rm750e
The only demanding game I play is cyberpunk
Where i live was not affected by tariffs for pc parts
even then the performance of the 6800 ain't too bad
I regret not buying 1999.99 5090. when I got the email I was pretty satisfied with my 4090. I regret it. they only gave me 2 days to decide
hmm, this should be fine, do you have a pcpp list of the full specs of the system?
144+ FPS on modest settings is playable 
the tarriffs have nothing to do with RAM or SSD prices.
That's all on the fuckin' AI Datacenter bullshit
I regret not buying 900 GBP 4090 back in december 2024 when the 4090;s price CRASHED
give me a bit, ill put most of it together
in anticipation of 5090
with a ton of it being non-existant at that
then people found out how much BS the 50 series is
Im talking before the ai crisis
I freaked out with trump tariffs. bought 9950x3d, 96gb RAM, a lot of hard drives and ssd's. so yea I lucked out
i can smell the electrical fires from it
I was in line at microcenter at launch day.
I was worried about tariffs fking up pricing
God I really hate this generation of nvidia, it's the worst
most consumer computer electronics were exempt from the tariffs
it's a wholenothing burger in terms of performance improvements
almost as bad as the 20 series
sadly it's the same pcb being used for both 40 and 50 series, and the lack of protections carried over because of it
im "smort" for freaking out for no reason. I kinda predicted the future is gonna be fucked for a while. I was right on the money.
I haven't been that much in the PC space for about 2 years tbf
I've been keyboard maxxing ™
you're always keyboard maxing
you were right, but for none of the correct reasons lol
AKA: you got lucky
Live Laugh Love keyboards
yep. like what I said I lucked out for the wrong reasons
For what I've spent I could've bought a really really nice computer 
i keep laughing at people falling for the FOMO mentality
how about a mouse, u been maxing on that also ?
or 3
I have attack shark r6 x2 and r5 ultra
more than enough for me
only competitive game I play is OW
yeah u reach a certain point with them that its just preference stuff
still rocking the d41 or using a different case now ? @boreal vine
like size or wireless weight
yeah it's the best sensor and IMC in the market for a sub 50 price
i got the endgame gear xm2, its been pretty chill
Still d41, i've ignored my PC for a year and a bit, i changed the AIO from cr630 to notte which I hate
\
i LOVE enhanced
Still rocking the same 12900k + rx6800
you might enjoy the wonder vision from thermalright
12900k still trying to pull 250w on load
I was looking at that, but tbh I've lost passion for PCs
I still have my other PCs tho
my latest PC was a 11700 PC that I got for free when my office closed down
I'm going stick a GPU in that bad boy
cant see myself getting tired of this sh. Id probably be 70 and still doing ths same thing
Part List - AMD Ryzen 9 5950X, GeForce RTX 2060
I want to grow a pair and go custom watercooling.
been doing it for quite a while, i still build PCs for friends and ppl
thats what i could get together, idk the ssd or hard drive, and the case is so off brand its not even on pcpp
at some point, you just get bored and move onto different things
doing it since the mid 2000's lol
well apart from a shite cooler, i see no issues there
im a little older than everyone else afaik
Tbf mainstream consumer computer hardware is boring atm, Intel GPUs are like the only somewhat interesting thing

yeah, the prices have pissed me off
that's why I'm not into it anymore
tbf, it's more boring til you look at the laptops
im not young and broke anymore so I can afford it. I feel bad for the kids
Oh, yeah, forgot about that. So it’s boring and expensive
thsi was the first pc i bought like 10 years ago or something
meanwhile on keyboard land, there's so much shit to do
thats the exact same model i got
3d Printer land is so competitive and cheap. it's so boring in the PC market lol
so reliable
Speaking of keybs, how’d you end up liking that feker?
yeah same, would be hard for a teenager to do shit, thankfully i have a really really good remote job now that allows me to have more stupid money
I enjoyed Formnext a lot more than CES
i still need to have my friend look at the bios, we'll see if xmp is doing some funky stuff
which feker? the 98 or just the alice
The 98 was decent, i bought it for another person not for me tbf, but I tried it for quite a while
I think the numpad is wasted on me ofc
I grew up poor to middle-class in south east asia. I was able to afford multi gpu setups by begging my mom and doing part time jobs. Im an adult in the US and right now I even find it expensive. the kids are screwed lol
it's possible but tbf, get them to install hwinfo and check up on it using the sensor panelk
cuz i noticed when she sent a screenshot of windows hardware info,
the memory is only running at 2133 instead of 3600
I didn’t know you bought two. The 98. I’m thinking about picking up a keyboard for work and it’s cheaper than the keychron
I grew up rich in SEA and decided to do my own shit in the UK
that's just jedec speed for the ram when xmp isn't enabled
I'd rather buy assets than PC 
I just followed the blueprint for every filipino adult. went to nursing school
yeah it's a really good board
😆
so xmp Isnt on
I just did HRM and didn't use it at all
Is the 2.4ghz with a dongle? Cause that’s the only thing I didn’t like on the keychron is it only used Bluetooth
1 good pc can help with that, and you have a strong one to last a fair while as it is
now I work for an IT company as a solutions engineer
I've been here in the US for 12+ years now. how about you in the UK? lol
7 + years
you know what let me just go grab the damn screenshot lol
yeah it does, the wireless one is tri mode
time flies when you move to a whole new country
correct, if it's showing up as 2133, it's at jedec not xmp
Solutions engineer? Like network solutions or just all IT?
yeah IG, i don't mind it, i have my own place and my own stuff
I work with a product and I get paid that's all it is
I get paid to yap, as per usual
Kek
this is why i'm suggesting to use hwinfo instead also, the sensor panel is great for seeing how the pc is doing, and the summary page gives a fuckton of info about your specs
Im fortunate enough to be able to go here. my grandpa was a Veteran. 🇺🇸 went to nursing school so it worked out.
That's good to hear
grepa never really told stories about the war. must be a hard time
I'm fortunate enough to buy keyboards 
example of the summary page showing my specs @blazing onyx
holy hell-
RX 590?
i had her put HWmonitor, on there, i suppose ill have to get her to put HWInfo on too
yeah
one of the weirder amd cards ngl
my guess it's just a higher clock.
yea RX 480 and 580 are the same already right
so it's RX 480 V3
get rid of hwmonitor and just use hwinfo, theres a good chunk of missreporting happening with hwmonitor
ah
yeah you'd expect a high end card coming from the x90
i dont even think 590 is the highest from that generation is it?
yeah, it's a rx580 with a higher clock essentially, unlike an rx580 2048 which is a rx570 trying to make itself out to be an rx580
oh
you need to retire that 590 
yea sounds like a flagship card
whats the problem, 590 is good, hell even a 580 is still a decent card
I need to retire the 5700xt as well
I mean I can play most of my games on my ROG Ally
old doesnt mean bad
tbf i do need to look for either an rx6700xt/7700xt or 9060xt
still a beast
get a 6800 as well 
if i ever decide to get my desktop working again, im getting a 9060xt for it
rx9060xt = 6800 performance and comes with 16gb vram for rx6700xt pricing
you can get used 6800 for like 250 GBP tho
im mostly on 2023 hardware besides CPU
maybe
quite literally rx6800 = rx7700xt = rx9060xt
I'm 2021 maxxing
2023 GPU (4090) 2023 laptop, 2023 handheld etc.
12900k + 6800
rate my summary
beast
other than a 14th gen intel, not bad
Ive never been able to figure out how to do this on hwinfo
Super Expert 
I use hwinfo everyday. can someone teach me lol
also i do need to get a better card because 3d printing software
super expert at high hotspot temperatures
oh yea fair
im getting mew U1 soon
nothing wrong with that?
I am so excited
@rigid fjord this is my 5th 3d printer already. I caught the bug like 2 years ago
really?? crazy
i have a ender 3 neo that's been extensively modified by me
I have 3 bambu, 1 elegoo printer and U1
yes, the only differences are the fsr version you can use and vram amount
were you impacted by bambu locking down their printers or did you not care too much
not at all. this is the bambu closet
I have a another printer that prints ABS in a seperate room.
i figured as much when the news was pretty big for like a few days then died immediately
holy shit
it's the cheap/er Centauri Carbon 1
nice setup
Bambu is just going apple direction. closed garden
they're honestly still the best. no bias. they have a certain polish that none of the others have
i have that exact same bits kit
well actually 2 of them
yea
but do you have a galacok
a what
ty! my printers aren't exactly new anymore
2200 hours on X1c, 1500+ hours on A1 and A1 mini
well i might need to get one now
I mean if they're still printing who cares it's not like PCs where stuff gets outdated quite fast, atleast used to be
galacock
they're tools. even an Ender 3 is still decent
LOL
I actually work with Prusa3d over here in europe, pretty chill ppl
it's a screwdriver yea
I actually never liked Prusa BUT I did a total 180 after they introduced the Indx multi nozzle system at formnext
they went from loser to MUST HAVE for me lol
my rig will be capable of running gta 6
They want to fly me out to one of their office at some point tbf
that is a nice looking printer
8 nozzles. no waste. pretty cool
But fuck travelling for work, i'm already doing one this year and it pisses me off
Q2 2026. not released yet
what do you do with them
whats msrp
Prusa so it's expensive. probably around $2000
I work with them for their internal service division
So their RND team, Support team and product team and the likes
thats the same cost as my mk3s+
I bought it around christmas time. it's gonna get delivered in a few days
way back when
interesting
yea chinese printers are much cheaper and arguably much better.
i got new one piece posters]
meanwhile i am waiting for Bambu P2S Combo to become available, but it is constantly only on preorder. Prusa is made in Czechia (neighboring country), but too expensive for me
@gritty panther
which is tragic ngl
i really like the modularity of the prusa printer
looks beast
it's very hard to compete with Shenzen
chinese printers are just better.
my plan
my resin printer is elegoo which is definitely chinese
theres one mod that's not been shown that i've recently done with it, which is the Y axis converted to linear rail
got a whole ass growlight setup 😭
that's an amazing starter printer. you'll have an excellent experience
if you can afford it. highly recommended
rauko u naughty naughty man
except as i said, it is constantly on preorder
P2S combo is nice.

wow this looks exactly like the x1c
yea high demand item. good products are like that
i could do that if i wanted, and it wouldn't be even high power consuming
they sell themselves.
the crows suddenly want to hang out on your roof
Bambu has been anti consumer lately but you cant deny they're still the best
get P2S combo
arch btw moment
yea P2s is cheaper and better
it is on preorder on Bambu themselves, it's like that since november
sup rauko
ah, you've met huginn and muninn then?
arch btw with cachy kernel btw
sup dude, how's it going?
im having a son
march 11 isnt too bad
same
I had to wait 3 months for my Snapmaker U1
i found out it's fedex. I am so scared
congrats dude, that's some big news
they're the worst in my area. I hate fedex
biggest news i had in a while
big news
thanks man

congrats my guy
thanks guys im really happy
well if it is right. Plus i am getting the work bonus next month anyways (if at all), but i hate paying and then waiting for weeks

What channel should i use, i just bought an old logitech pilot stick and have no idea how to use it
infact since i last talked here i started a home server
I recently went out of my comfort zone. saw a vtuber concert here in LA. got tickets.
boy's are a handful at times, you just got to watch out for his aim
i am so excited and scared. I watched a few videos the energy is insane
i got his career planned out already, he gonna be an automatic gearbox mechanic
nice
Here's the home server
I honestly dont know much about hololive EN but I figured I should go since it's close. would be a waste to pass up
what do you do for a living
nothing
got all the posters for under 10 bucks and found the old pc in the shed
i asked bcz of the safety thing
get him into dealing with electronics also dude, also drum in common sense and critical thinking
