Does keeping nothing means it deleted everything else?? @tidal geyser

[tidal geyser]

on the drive

[midnight rampart]

Okay

[tidal geyser]

i do not believe that screen even deletes anything

[midnight rampart]

@tidal geyser is it suggested to move windows from a gen 3 SSD to gen 4 SSD? Does it help in anyway?

[tidal geyser]

the screen where you chose disks is what could risk deleting things

[tidal geyser]

it could but for the most part you should not notice it too much

[midnight rampart]

So I should not do it?

It's from sn570 to a P5 plus

I dunno, just thinking of doing it clean because it removes all the trash

[tidal geyser]

what are you doing right now

what is going on

[azure topaz]

if ur gonna reinstall windows anyways, why not

[tidal geyser]

that too

[midnight rampart]

It was that, or continue using P5 plus as it is...
Or just clone my disk

[azure topaz]

okay reinstalling windows to move what SSD its on is stupid

[proper gull]

Never clone windows

[azure topaz]

but if youre going to reinstall windows anyways then do it

you picking up what im throwing down

[midnight rampart]

I thought installing it on a better drive could be better

[azure topaz]

not really

hardly a difference once youre on an SSD anyways, whether sata or NVME

[tidal geyser]

ehhh

HMB

[azure topaz]

it hardly matters

you may have a slightly more snappy windows experience

[tidal geyser]

well that is always fun ey

[azure topaz]

but worth 3 hours reinstalling shit?

[tidal geyser]

yes 100%

he is already doing it anyways

[azure topaz]

it doesnt seem that way

[tidal geyser]

.

go a bit above

[midnight rampart]

@tidal geyser my PC is now black screened

No debug lights nothing

[tidal geyser]

just wait

[midnight rampart]

Okay it just booted in the old windows @tidal geyser

[tidal geyser]

old windows?

[midnight rampart]

The one on wd blue sn570

Not the crucial one

[tidal geyser]

change bootloder

reboot

[midnight rampart]

I think I'll keep it like that.... It's not like I am getting anything plus right?

No advantage

[tidal geyser]

well faster speeds, how much might you feel it idono

and you already did it

[midnight rampart]

2 seconds... That's it I guess...

[tidal geyser]

i personally would do it

you might as well just keep it how it is now

[midnight rampart]

Really?
I mean, it doesn't have advantage

Other than that right

I could install games on the faster drive

Not that games also get advantage

[cold skiff]

The faster drive probably have better redundancy / life

[midnight rampart]

True

[tidal geyser]

sn8100

[thorny saddle]

sn8100

[tidal geyser]

up to you

[thorny saddle]

You can kill it in 9 months if you constantly write data

but thats not how things work

[rigid fjord]

for an OS, nothing to notice, for gaming, nothing to notice, if video editing, code compiling or 3d rendering then it'll make a difference

[rigid fjord]

both came out around the same time, their life span is about the same within a few writes tbh

[midnight rampart]

got it

[rigid fjord]

is that one of their newer gen 5 drives?

[thorny saddle]

yes

Its basically the only PCIe 5.0 NVMe to consider right now

[rigid fjord]

all that speed and no way to properly use it unless you're code compiling, video editing or 3d render tbh

[thorny saddle]

The same could be said about anything

[rigid fjord]

true for many things

[serene python]

I love engineering

You can feel like it's the greatest thing to ever exist and also want to drop out all within 30 minutes

[thorny saddle]

You need to do it to the tune of like 4-8TBs.... per day

hm?

[rigid fjord]

pretty much what snail said

[true adder]

Why is Gemini 140 euros per month 😂

[rigid fjord]

you'll probably see more randoms in the process though

[rigid fjord]

because google

they also have to explain this to their board

[true adder]

Fair

[median warren]

That's cool as fuck

I'd buy that knife

Yes

[cold skiff]

https://tenor.com/view/chadtronic-knife-kitchen-safety-reflection-giggle-gif-13740073

[median warren]

Sure

[gaunt spade]

my 3080 arrived

[silk sun]

is the 5600 worth a 3000 bdt (25 usd) increase over the 5500?

[grizzled frost]

whats the base price

[silk sun]

10.5k for 5500, 13.5 k for 5600

so that's 110 usd for the 5600 and 85 usd for the 5500

[grizzled frost]

what gpu?

[tidal geyser]

yes

[silk sun]

9070xt

[tidal geyser]

wow

[grizzled frost]

lol

[silk sun]

nah ik this shit can't be real lol

but i got the chance to secure one lol

not cheap tbh

[grizzled frost]

get that 5600 at the bare minimum

get a 5600x3d if you can

or really any x3d chip

[silk sun]

yeah, i am gonna try to get the 5700

[gaunt spade]

x3d tho

[silk sun]

yeah i will see

still two weeks till i buy

[tidal geyser]

DO NOT get a 5700

the 5700X is fine

non x is a mobile cpu

[silk sun]

over 5600x3d?

it's gonna be difficult to find an x3d lol

[tidal geyser]

do not get a X3D

[gaunt spade]

isnt there a small difference in gaming between the 5600x and 5700x

[tidal geyser]

someone sold their 5700X3D to buy my 7800X3D+x670e combo

[tidal geyser]

pretty small yea but in this case i would say worth it if the price is right

[silk sun]

probs no, 5700x is 17k

5600x is 14k

[gaunt spade]

are you upgrading from something

[silk sun]

bdt

[gaunt spade]

since ur on am4

[silk sun]

yeah an intel

[tidal geyser]

what intel

[silk sun]

i need mobo

[silk sun]

i3 lol

[tidal geyser]

what intel

[silk sun]

10105

[tidal geyser]

rip lga 1200

[silk sun]

very real

[grizzled frost]

rest in peace LGA 1200, you will be missed

great for those optiplex/thinkcenter's as starter servers

[gaunt spade]

"an intel"

[tidal geyser]

ngl i would look to see if lga 1700 prices might be good

[gaunt spade]

upgrading from some intel ultra 9 to a 5600 😊

[tidal geyser]

i would take a 14600k over a 5700X3D any day

[silk sun]

which one would go good with the 9070

[grizzled frost]

shush, we all made that joke mentally

[silk sun]

probs not good with price here for intel lol

[tidal geyser]

yes

[gaunt spade]

the intel

[silk sun]

bruh

[grizzled frost]

both would be fine

[gaunt spade]

not an intel tho

[tidal geyser]

you do know i already said it?

[gaunt spade]

the intel

[grizzled frost]

rico is having a troll moment

[tidal geyser]

.

[silk sun]

oh did not see sorry

[grizzled frost]

14600k better, but if it's like 2x the price, just go with a 5600x

[tidal geyser]

5600X

[silk sun]

yeah it is, it's 30k

[tidal geyser]

rip, get the 5600x

[silk sun]

very real

[grizzled frost]

yeah go with the 5600x

[tidal geyser]

or 5600 non x

[grizzled frost]

14600k is better, but not 2x the price better

[gaunt spade]

only in the us intel might be same price as amd

ive never seen intel be cheaper on average than amd

anywhere else

[grizzled frost]

when we're talking this old, it varies quite a lot, even within the US

[gaunt spade]

should i paint my gpu white

[grizzled frost]

no

[tidal geyser]

up to you

[grizzled frost]

i do not want to be involed in the tech-support thread for "i coated my heatsink in acrylic paint and now my temps suck"

[median warren]

Bruh I can't post 2 images

[grizzled frost]

look at used listings instead

DM me it lol, i'll post it

[median warren]

I'll look at used as well

[gaunt spade]

its a 3080 colorful

[grizzled frost]

stuff it in a server and call it a day

[median warren]

Found a 14700kf for £300 and it's £100 from 400

[median warren]

Done ty

[grizzled frost]

Hope and pray this doesn't go over my limit

Yipee!

[median warren]

Thank you iroh

[grizzled frost]

Happy to abuse my floatplane permissions

[median warren]

@tidal geyser LGA 1700 prices ^^^

From overclockers.co.uk

170 for a 12900k

But tbh I don't trust used CPUs/gpus

[cold skiff]

Fuck man £40 for an igpu?

[median warren]

40?

[cold skiff]

If you want me to be autistic I can give the precise amount but it’s basically £40

[median warren]

This can't be real right?

There's no way that, that's £98

[grizzled frost]

meet in person, and make sure to turn it on before you hand over money

[median warren]

The ram alone is worth 5 times that

[cold skiff]

It’s £39. On the mark. Basically. Forty squids, 40 schmekels, fourth big ones, 2 scores. Yknow.

[grizzled frost]

every now and then you can find amazing deals like that from some dude just trying to get rid of it

[median warren]

Oh I understand what you're saying

[grizzled frost]

but generally speaking, that deal would be too good to be true

[median warren]

I genuinely might message them, would make insane profit

[cold skiff]

I think they meant £980

[median warren]

Yeah exactly, there's no way

[median warren]

Most likely

[cold skiff]

But they removed the 0 to be higher on market place

[median warren]

Although I wouldn't pay £980 for a 3060

[cold skiff]

Better than being lost in the FREE - see comments for price brigade

[grizzled frost]

cringe, i hate when people put incorrect prices

like "free" or "$1" then say "make me an offer"

[cold skiff]

Imagine buying a GPU

[grizzled frost]

one of the big reasons i avoid facebook marketplace

ebay ftw, love their robust refund/return policy

[cold skiff]

When a 5090 msrp is 2000 but the retailer wants the cost of 3x 5080 to buy 1x 5090

[median warren]

Kek

[grizzled frost]

receive something that doesn't fit the listing? almost guaranteed a return/refund

[gaunt spade]

why

can you test it out

[cold skiff]

I always sold my old parts. Someone loving life with something cheap and not needed

[median warren]

Cause you never know what the person used that system for and if they took care of it or how long it's been in use for and etc

[grizzled frost]

Used CPU adn GPUs are easily trusted, CPU's most of all

[median warren]

Oh yeah I mean I wouldn't buy anything without testing it

[cold skiff]

CPUs either work or don’t. Easy one

[grizzled frost]

as long as there is no physical damage to the CPU, it's gonna work just fine

[median warren]

But I don't need a new pc just browsing for curiosity

[grizzled frost]

GPU's can degrade a bit more, but generally fine

[cold skiff]

GPUs, just avoid anything made in the crypto boom from someone selling multiple GPUs

[median warren]

Good point

[cold skiff]

If they’re selling one GPU then you’re fine

[gaunt spade]

ive bought miner gpus and theyve been fine

[cold skiff]

Like people normally sell multiple RX 580s… so yknow you want an even cheaper price or don’t touch

[median warren]

Hear me out

[cold skiff]

Yeah but you wouldn’t pay full whack on used market for it

[grizzled frost]

one of my friends got an RX580 and was hoping to play baldurs gate 3 on it

had to break the news to them

[cold skiff]

I mean they can play it

[grizzled frost]

the fuck you mean hear you out, if you don't buy it i will

[cold skiff]

It will just be a shit experience even with fsr

[median warren]

😂

I don't have facebook god damn it

I'm actually going to have to use my mum's Facebook account

[cold skiff]

Why not

You against the big bad mega corporations stealing your data Steve?

[median warren]

Deleted all my socials a while ago cause didn't use them/think they're all brainrot and yes, leaching my data and privacy

I moved everything to proton and use them and their services

And use tor on my phone and pc now

Sometimes brave because not everything works in tor

[gaunt spade]

how does one not have facebook

[grizzled frost]

I have a facebook account, but never use it

[median warren]

I deleted it all the way in 2021

[cold skiff]

Uninstall discord

[grizzled frost]

i think i'm actually banned from facebook marketplace for account innactivity

[cold skiff]

Or you’re a big dirty part of the problem says GN

Also if you build a pc right now. You’re part of the problem.

But reviewing a $400 case? Content

[median warren]

I do want to trust me, but everyone I know uses it

[cold skiff]

I remember the days when we used gamespy and mirc

[median warren]

I want to go back to ts

[cold skiff]

Or what was it before.. worldplay?

[gaunt spade]

old man

[median warren]

[cold skiff]

Worldplay, Gamespy then on to Roger Wilco, ventrilo, team speak, discord. That’s how voice chat went

[grizzled frost]

was looking at our work computers, and there was literally a solid cm of dust on every server

[gaunt spade]

skype

[cold skiff]

Fuck no one used msn or Skype to game

Mirc straight to discord for chat though

[gaunt spade]

skype was so popular

[median warren]

I did, 10 years ago

[azure topaz]

400$ case with 200$ worth of pre installed fans for a grand total of 63$ of production cost

[cold skiff]

Forums always been a thing but don’t count

[cold skiff]

Problem is that review was 10000% better than his cult crusade.

[azure topaz]

the flux being 200$ alone without the noctua collab is highway robbery

it is a seemingly low quality case with an airflow focus

[median warren]

Isn't this the normal price for that kit of ram anyway? Also this seems like a crazy deal considering it's ddr5 and 48gb, but what would I even do with it

[cold skiff]

Steve’s a hard watch. I don’t totally agree or disagree with his view points but he’s a hard watch lately.

That video was much better

[azure topaz]

idk the 100$ 4000DA from 5 years ago still pretty good

[azure topaz]

not a fan of the holier than thou

“i’m buying all these products and reporting how shit they are, therefore i’m not apart of the problem”

i think i was right not liking him very much 5 years ago i won’t hold you

[cold skiff]

My biggest gripe is he’s very financial focused. He says he isn’t, talks about his own all the time… then proceeds to rip apart public reports from companies and not provide his own. Not saying he’s doing anything wrong but it does smell off, as if he isn’t saying something

If he was in the Uk, I could just ping companies house in 2 mins to find it but not America. IIRC you have to be a certain size before you’re forced to publicly report aren’t you?

[azure topaz]

i’m not sure, but probably

but for real steve, receipts on profit margin for your store may change many people’s opinion on you

[knotty osprey]

400 buckaroos for a case with some fans?

[cold skiff]

GN is just a shame recently, maybe it’s just the way he comes across. I do also wonder when he will have an “accident” considering some of his content

Hopefully he will become a tech channel again soon

[median warren]

I want it

I can finally make my all noctua pc and have it look good too

[grizzled frost]

GN is just hard to watch at this point

[median warren]

Although I think I'd get an aio with a LCD display, to put the Noctua logo on it and replace it with noctua fans, and that'd be the only none noctua component, just to make it look cooler

[ocean axle]

It's not size, you have to report to shareholders
For a publicly traded company, that means public reporting
For a private company, they don't have to report anything

[grizzled frost]

fans alone are 150usd

[median warren]

You know I've been considering going over to amd and selling my pc and building a new one

This case might make me do it

[grizzled frost]

amd cpu + nvidia gpu ftw

[median warren]

Nah amd both

[ocean axle]

AMD + AMD ftw

[grizzled frost]

can't give up DLSS4.5

[median warren]

I have a 14700k and a 4080 super right now but tbh, I rarely use the full potential of the 4080 super

[grizzled frost]

FSR4 doesn't even compete with DLSS4, let alone 4.5

[ocean axle]

Or, my favorite, AMD + Intel

[median warren]

And I really like the value of the 9070 xt

AAAND A BIG SELLING POINT, I could finally go over to Linux with little to none performance loss

[knotty osprey]

anyone got opinions on DLSS5?

[cold skiff]

Fair enough always wondered how America worked. Like UK is easy, you submit to government and they put everyone in a website. Job done

[median warren]

Cause I heard amd is best for linux

[grizzled frost]

the way they're advertising it doesn't give me much hope, but the weird AI enhancements are going to be togglable

[ocean axle]

Intel is also fine

[cold skiff]

It looks fine. It won’t really take off though because consoles are not Nvidia based.

[grizzled frost]

So hopefully under the hood there is also better traditional upscaling as well

[ocean axle]

Both AMD and Intel have 1st party Mesa drivers

Nvidia is the exception

[grizzled frost]

and maybe NVIDIA will finally update RR

[azure topaz]

i am the dark side

[grizzled frost]

huh

[azure topaz]

intel india

nvidia*

[grizzled frost]

india has their own brand of GPU's?

[ocean axle]

Nono, India gpu

[azure topaz]

i hate value arrrggggghhh

[grizzled frost]

hot take, NVIDIA is good value

[azure topaz]

nah you’re right

people who don’t see the clear feature set differences are silly or don’t know what FSR/dlss does

DLSS alone generally makes the (in a normal world) 100$ difference between a 9070xt or 5070ti

[ocean axle]

I buy AMD, because I don't use those features

I do have/use Nvidia cards still

[azure topaz]

although i will say at like 1100$ for a 5070ti, thats highway robbery

[ocean axle]

It's only worth paying for the features if you use them

[tidal geyser]

i prefer nvidia for good qa

[grizzled frost]

choosing not to use DLSS is crazy

[tidal geyser]

amd is pretty bad on linux xd

[azure topaz]

yeah my amd cards in the past have been moderately buggy, even my 7800xt

[grizzled frost]

DLSS4.5 is basically just free FPS at this point

[ocean axle]

QA? glares at nvidia's drivers for the last year

[azure topaz]

agreed

[tidal geyser]

now look at amd

[exotic cape]

Nvidia is a bit more expensive than AMD on average for the performance, but Nvidia has better upscaling and ray tracing.

[azure topaz]

they finally put it in tarkov, it’s lots better than even dlss4

[tidal geyser]

amd is not doing well

[ocean axle]

I've been using both, and haven't had significant issues with either really

[tidal geyser]

same

[azure topaz]

i just want my driver panel to open

[median warren]

Respect for those few soldiers running intel gpus

[azure topaz]

apparently that’s fixed on 9000 series

[ocean axle]

Nvidia has been fine (ampere/win11, pascal/win10), and AMD too (rdna4/Linux + rdna3/win10)

[median warren]

https://tenor.com/view/thanks-bow-thank-you-sign-of-respect-gif-4807966236937524301

[ocean axle]

one if my machines runs a Qualcomm GPU

And yes, it gets used regularly

[median warren]

Nvidia is doing better because they have more power to supply a stronger ai which they can use to ask how to make better GPUs, features and drivers

And how to obtain crocodile leather jackets

[grizzled frost]

jensen stays dripped out

[tidal geyser]

the thing that killed amd for me is them just giving up

[exotic cape]

Something ain't right here.

[median warren]

He has to

[tidal geyser]

no fsr 4 for older cards, redstone is well redstone and so on

and support for their new features is just not there

[median warren]

I'm still kinda jealous of the 9950x3d as an intel user

[gaunt spade]

https://giphy.com/gifs/son-im-crine-aaFz1Arg0h5cOwAu2w

[azure topaz]

son what

its not a debate if its just reaction images

[tidal geyser]

i was hoping so hard amd did a nvidia

amds drivers were also so so so so many times better on release

[azure topaz]

and then flop

[exotic cape]

Overprice their shit?

[azure topaz]

750$ 5070ti is pretty competitively priced

[grizzled frost]

NVIDIA MSRP's are reasonably priced, but the VRAM shortage has driven up prices

[tidal geyser]

feature support

[exotic cape]

It shouldn't be

[azure topaz]

?

[grizzled frost]

blame ai

[azure topaz]

my bad lets produce the 5090 and sell it at 8$

[tidal geyser]

the 1080 ti launched at 700$

[sleek fulcrum]

Sup all

[exotic cape]

That's a 80 card

[grizzled frost]

Jensen send me a 5090 and i will exist as living propoganda for NVIDIA

[azure topaz]

the titan z launched with a 3,000$ msrp

[sleek fulcrum]

Are monitors hdr400 crappy for gaming?

[grizzled frost]

depends

[tidal geyser]

where did the quadros go

[cold skiff]

They’re not giving up. They’re just prioritising the co sole APU as per normal

[azure topaz]

titans

[tidal geyser]

titans not quadros yea

[tidal geyser]

you mean zen 3.5?

theyr 2026 shit cant run fsr 4

[cold skiff]

Where is our 5090ti super quadro titan lightning z astral

[azure topaz]

(priced at $8)

[exotic cape]

Not right market for them.

[grizzled frost]

that's the rtx pro 6000

[grizzled frost]

spend 8 dollars in gas and rob snail

[azure topaz]

if nvidia doesn’t make next gen flagship at 1000$ it’s unusable garbage

[tidal geyser]

one important thing people forget is inflation

[gaunt spade]

pyro

[grizzled frost]

700usd from 2017 is now equivalent to ~940usd

[azure topaz]

the titan z was 3,000$ and launched in 2014

[tidal geyser]

btw tom makes like 30$/hr looking at chips if i remember right

[exotic cape]

and they forget the powah difference between then and now

[azure topaz]

inb4 “the 5090 is a gaming card, not a workstation”

[gaunt spade]

so much money

[tidal geyser]

who tf needs 32GB of vram for gaming

[azure topaz]

genuinely if you see the 5090 as a gaming card idk what to tell you

[exotic cape]

12gb vram is more than enough for 99% of gamers

[azure topaz]

that’s why i don’t get the complaints around the 5070ti’s vram

[tidal geyser]

the only reason i would call the 5090 a gaming card is due to how drivers are done

rtx pro 6000 i believe only gets studio drivers

[azure topaz]

“hurr durr nvidia coulda put 18gb on it”

[exotic cape]

¨the 5080 should realistically be the 5090.
and the 5090 should be a titan

[azure topaz]

i’m fine with getting rid of the titan class

i agree with people saying the 5080 should’ve had a stronger core config

the vram on it is fine

[tidal geyser]

eh i dono, i would have liked 20GB on the 5080

[exotic cape]

the 5090 is more than anyone needs, for years coming

on all metrics

[tidal geyser]

slop games

[azure topaz]

i mean faster computer is always nice

[gaunt spade]

just like the 3090 huh

[azure topaz]

3090 is still great today so, yes

[gaunt spade]

6070 is gonna be 5090 performance anyway

[azure topaz]

this guy just rage baiting 😭

[grizzled frost]

in other news, the grass is green, and the sky blue

[tidal geyser]

i wonder much vram next gen is going to get

[azure topaz]

no valid points
reaction images
mad that hardware progresses

[exotic cape]

6gb, 8gb and 12gb. then the enthusiast tier with 20gb

[gaunt spade]

well 5070 was 4090 performance so logically 6070 will be 5090 performance

[azure topaz]

yep

[gaunt spade]

typo

[azure topaz]

12gb is steep for the 5070(ti) i won’t lie

i go over 12GB in like, tarkov

[grizzled frost]

at least nvidia didn't pull an apple and say that 8gb of nvidia vram is equivalent to 16gb of amd vram

[azure topaz]

nobody got mad when nvidia released the 1060 3gb really

and that shoulda been the 1050ti of the gen

nobody got mad when amd released a 4 and 8gb lineup of polaris

[gaunt spade]

where are 200$ gpus

[exotic cape]

6GB for the 50 and 60 class.
8GB for the 70 class
12GB for the 80 class
20GB for the 90 class

[gaunt spade]

5050 shouldve been 200$

[azure topaz]

right in front of you

b580 comin right up

[gaunt spade]

still 250

[exotic cape]

country?

[azure topaz]

yeah buy an xbox

[gaunt spade]

i mean new

[gaunt spade]

aw hell na

[exotic cape]

country?

[azure topaz]

playstation 5

[gaunt spade]

folk

[azure topaz]

then spend the following years paying for xbox live

[grizzled frost]

people yearn for consoles

[tidal geyser]

i saw a b580 for 2000nok on komplett on black friday

[azure topaz]

at like 80$ a year

[gaunt spade]

🥀 son how

did u buy atleast

[azure topaz]

no who wants garbage

[tidal geyser]

nope too poor

[azure topaz]

where the brand new (my mom only lets me buy on amazon) 130$ gpus at

why isn’t the 5090 300$ bro

[gaunt spade]

the 3080 i ordered cost me 295$ converted

[azure topaz]

but it’s not brand new

mine was free, 2 years ago

[exotic cape]

holy fuck it sucks to enter domains to find gpu prices

[gaunt spade]

❓

[exotic cape]

stupid ass cloud flare

[azure topaz]

ebay gave me a refund on accident ig, was epic

[rose stream]

I'm starting to think that might end up being the way things will end up going.

[azure topaz]

otherwise it was like almost 420$

[gaunt spade]

420 is crazy

strix ?

[azure topaz]

gigabyte gaming oc

it was 2 years ago you just paid 385, you got the worse deal 😭

[gaunt spade]

?

[exotic cape]

im trying to find 200$ gpus

[gaunt spade]

theres no new 200$ where i live

[exotic cape]

but holy fuck georgian websites are ass

[azure topaz]

you can get a 6600xt maybe

[gaunt spade]

check
itwork
pcroom

pcshop

[gaunt spade]

nope those are way more

[azure topaz]

i got my 6600xt for like 100$

[gaunt spade]

those are atleast 300

[azure topaz]

not even that i don’t think

[exotic cape]

i can get a 710 for 65$

[mellow sonnet]

rate my tech

[azure topaz]

paid 180$ for a board+ram+cpu(cooler too)+that gpu

whatever that works out to

[gaunt spade]

yep

[azure topaz]

it was a 5600x

[gaunt spade]

62$ here for 710

[azure topaz]

shitass board tho

[gaunt spade]

5600x doee

[azure topaz]

yeah so realistically i paid like, 60$ for the gpu

it’s a 6650xt not that it really matters though

[exotic cape]

here is your 200$ gpu

[azure topaz]

it’s in my moms computer, it works most of the time

[wild pendant]

I thought he was mistakening the Ti for the non-ti but he brought up the ti. People really recommending cards that literally dont exist 💀

[gaunt spade]

5060 for 535$ converted holy shit

[azure topaz]

i’m looking at it

[gaunt spade]

an iq too high

[gaunt spade]

bro i hate the m2 ssds that have the gpu slot lower

it looks so goofy

[azure topaz]

yeah it hits like 80c it sucks

i think i repasted it even

[cold skiff]

Doesn’t matter what the price is. Some people need to buy the flagship just so they can swing their epeens

[azure topaz]

and that’s okay

[gaunt spade]

damn i had a 6600 non xt and it didnt even hit 60c

[azure topaz]

computer is a hobby too

[azure topaz]

literally it’s just the case/board

[gaunt spade]

is that a fractial case

[azure topaz]

that card can handle 300w at 80c lol

[cold skiff]

I remember having a GTX 295. My epeen was swinging around playing fallout 3 max

[azure topaz]

yeah it’s a pop air mini

[gaunt spade]

👴

[azure topaz]

(did that game even support multi gpu lol)

[cold skiff]

Dunno I never had multi gpu with that

[azure topaz]

it exists

295 is dual gpu

2x280s on board iirc

[cold skiff]

Oh I thought you meant dual cards

[exotic cape]

$384.26

[azure topaz]

yeah same thing

[cold skiff]

Well it worked well st the time if I remember right

[azure topaz]

the 3700x was free but man is it slow

[cold skiff]

However at the time the gpu kept overheating after 6 months so I sold it on eBay for £50 less

[azure topaz]

oof

[gaunt spade]

grafikkort

[cold skiff]

I didn’t want the hassle so just got rid

[azure topaz]

idk if that’s the limiter or if the gpu is

[exotic cape]

graphic card

[cold skiff]

IIRC I used the money to get a new motherboard, cpu and another gpu

[gaunt spade]

graphics proccesing unit

ok imma go pick up my gpu

3080 colorful

[azure topaz]

one dollar

[cold skiff]

Silicon that makes colours pop up in a display attached to a pcb with little transistors and loafers

[gaunt spade]

1800 yuan

[azure topaz]

is it one of the pretty ones

[cold skiff]

That’s a nice 3080

[azure topaz]

or is it a normal one

[gaunt spade]

no

[azure topaz]

oh yeah that’s epic

[gaunt spade]

its not the igame one

[azure topaz]

i love red

[gaunt spade]

it looks like a plastic toy

colors are aight

[cold skiff]

Oh Christ I thought it was the pretty one

[gaunt spade]

for a red scheme would look good

[cold skiff]

That’s like cheaper than Radeon era plastic

[gaunt spade]

these are the igame ones

[azure topaz]

my 5070ti is not pretty

[cold skiff]

Yeah that’s what I was thinking of

[gaunt spade]

and this one too

[cold skiff]

But tbh a 3080 is a 3080. It works

[azure topaz]

the red is nice

[gaunt spade]

shit they even had one with a scren

[azure topaz]

i had a gtx 980 msi gaming blah blah it was so cool looking

[azure topaz]

0 photos of my computer with it though i don’t think

[azure topaz]

this is nice. i just wished they had better plastic quality

[gaunt spade]

i just hope its in good shape and shipping went well imma go pick it up now

[cold skiff]

Dayumn I had a Radeon 285. Kinda wish I got a 980era Nvidia gpu

[azure topaz]

my 980 was nice

i had briefly in 2020 was a solid card

[exotic cape]

i have this beauty laying around in a box somewhere

[azure topaz]

yeah that’s the model i had

[gaunt spade]

i have a old 9500gt layng around

[azure topaz]

before that was an asus r9 280x top

also epic

[gaunt spade]

i hated the r9s

[mellow sonnet]

what old flagship would you consider barely usable these days

[gaunt spade]

i had a 280x i think this model

[azure topaz]

1080ti

[azure topaz]

oh it was crap

[exotic cape]

have this POS laying collecting dust

[azure topaz]

300w for 1050ti performance

straight garbage. but it was cool

[azure topaz]

and it was 3 gigs

[gaunt spade]

pos??? and 99 more ?

[azure topaz]

i believe you i didn’t like 5700xt’s at all

talk about garbage drivers

[mellow sonnet]

amd was truly shit at making good gpus back in the day

[azure topaz]

you breath on one of those things wrong and they hate you forever

and then navi literally blew up

well vega my bad

[tidal geyser]

interesting

[azure topaz]

rx 6000 was the beginning of the unshittification

[cold skiff]

I remember playing HL2 on a 6600GT

[exotic cape]

these are the ones currently in use

[azure topaz]

amds gpu driver division moved from a guy in lisa’s basement to like, 3 guys in lisa’s basement

[cold skiff]

Didn’t AMD acquire Radeon pre Lisa Siu though

[azure topaz]

yeah however it was well into lisa’s ownership before amd gpus could be taken seriously imo

i have a 6850 laying around maybe that’ll sway me

[cold skiff]

Tbfh Radeon was great

Dunno why it was bought tbh. Never bothered looking into it

[azure topaz]

my 7950 was actually pretty fun to mess with, got a 50% score increase with it

[tidal geyser]

ptm

[azure topaz]

10 year old paste baby

well like, 15

[cold skiff]

Like if ATI were left alone I reckon they’d have been trading blows far more with Nvidia

Consoles would look so different today too

[azure topaz]

gay ass cat

[azure topaz]

i wasn’t alive to live through when amd graphics were fairly decent

well, ati

i’m not old like yalls

[cold skiff]

I mean tbh I still used Nvidia then because I didn’t wanna take a chance

[azure topaz]

valid

[cold skiff]

But dayumn looking back they were fire

[azure topaz]

i like actual retro computing more than anything from that era

back when not-x86 had any chance

sunfire v440 🤤

[ebon marlin]

I just remembered my girlfriend has been using a free temu 1tb nvme for the past year without any issues in her laptop

[azure topaz]

[azure topaz]

subaru

[peak saddle]

when you see this screen ye know ye messed up

[azure topaz]

this boutta be a fire question

[ebon marlin]

Had around 10~ of those at one point

[azure topaz]

oh damn

[full quarry]

With a 40-100$ budget what mouse should I get?

[azure topaz]

i don’t speak smartphone, translate into flopper

[gaunt spade]

does this man own temu

[azure topaz]

wat dat mean

[ebon marlin]

Lamzu Maya X

[azure topaz]

agreed

that’s peak right there

[full quarry]

Any others? Just asking for some more options

[azure topaz]

not much better than that i won’t lie

[peak saddle]

this means your download mode and fastboot and recovery are fucked and the phone is saying i know im fucked and it entered sahara mode aka qualcomm emergency mode

[ebon marlin]

Avoid any big brand mice like Razer, Logitech, Steelseries etc etc

[gaunt spade]

logitik 🥀

[azure topaz]

WLmouse brand good too

[gaunt spade]

i have logitik tho

[azure topaz]

WLbeast X if you want something diabolical

magnesium, etc

[full quarry]

Why though? Isnt big brands good?

[ebon marlin]

Nah

[azure topaz]

generally overpriced for garbage

super light 2 is garbage

Although my corsair saber pro v2 is pretty good

battery on it is quite meh though, maybe a day

[full quarry]

Does the lamzu maya x have a dongle or is it wired

[azure topaz]

dongle

[ebon marlin]

It can be both

[gaunt spade]

i have a superlight x or something which i bought for like 30$

[azure topaz]

you’d hope so

[ebon marlin]

Didn't Corsair have some very light mouse at around 36g

[azure topaz]

i have a super light that’s modded to hell

[azure topaz]

that is indeed what it is homie

quite good, scyrox v8 overall pick still

[ebon marlin]

Ah yea forgot it as Corsairs naming is weird

[azure topaz]

yeah cause the saber v1 is ancient and like 200g

[ebon marlin]

Surprisingly out of all brands it's corsair coming out with such a light mouse lol

[azure topaz]

however the saber is good, also web app

[rose stream]

I wonder if Keychron's mice are any good.

[azure topaz]

no icue required

[ebon marlin]

And it's not one of those sucky fingertip mice where half of the mouse is just missing

[azure topaz]

scyrox v8 is still peak if it’s 70$ still

slightly less, i think 32g, and imo a nicer shape

and it’s 70$ instead of 120

[ebon marlin]

https://tenor.com/view/hmmmmmmm-hmmmmmm-hmmmm-hm-hmm-gif-2339932555530048784

[azure topaz]

literally no better option than it wholeheartedly

web app, ok battery, 8khz if you care,

cheep

it’s still a china plastic mouse tho

[tall sandal]

Anyone use AMD Ryzen 9 8940HX

[azure topaz]

why?

[tall sandal]

This chip in this every review of a laptop with it, it runs on the hotter side on idle, in the reviews it’s 55-60C, It draws close to 20w just at idle

That’s too high, under load it’s normal.

[cold skiff]

Yeah that’s AMD for ya

[azure topaz]

20w sounds about right, i won’t lie

[tall sandal]

While other laptop chips draw 10w at idle and stay 40-50C

[azure topaz]

you got that soc tile sucking up power

[cold skiff]

If you want low power go ARM

[tall sandal]

Yea but even i9 is lower, 14900HX at 10w idle

[azure topaz]

download and open HWINFO in sensors only, then find the soc power, screenshot that section

[cold skiff]

Intel has been superior in laptops for decades

[azure topaz]

the intel cpu doesn’t have an soc to power constantly

[tall sandal]

But under full load it reaches higher wattages and the us higher temps. This is from an ROG Strix review

[tall sandal]

Right I see

Yea but other AMD chips like Ryzen 7 260 run wayyy lower idle watts, and it was ice cold idle, 40C, dipping below.

[azure topaz]

then report back

it’s probably 12-16w

[tall sandal]

Yea I have it, let me check

[cold skiff]

You’re comparing 2 different gen of CPUs

[cold skiff]

It’s like comparing a 9900x to a 5800x

You’ll have differences

[ancient canyon]

DLSS 5 look awful https://youtu.be/Q6VdVd4GVm4?si=4UI8PLUC4q-b8ugC

[gaunt spade]

dlls 6 when

[cold skiff]

Why’s it look awful?

[tall sandal]

here

This is normal for this chip at idle

[cold skiff]

Idgi what’s so bad with DLSS 5

You asked for better graphics. You got given it. Like 99% of people wouldn’t be shitting on it if it didn’t have the word AI attached to it

[azure topaz]

so 6w taken by the soc, 7 by the cores, and another 5w by misc

[cold skiff]

If this was 10 years ago everyone would love it

[tall sandal]

Yea these idle wattages how it is for this chip

[azure topaz]

so yeah it checks out, intel is half of that because they dont have the soc

[tall sandal]

Yea that’s why in basically most reviews laptops with this chip, ROG Strix etc run close to 60 at idle. Load temps are expected doe.

Image I sent an example review

Just opening armoury crate lmao I saw in HwInfo package power went above 60w, super aggressive chip

[azure topaz]

yah

is your power plan set to balanced?

[tall sandal]

Yea

[azure topaz]

ig it just be like that

[tall sandal]

Yea it is, just how this chip behaves

[cold skiff]

Can’t wait for DLSS5 on OSRS

[tall sandal]

It’s normal for the chip, just never seen a laptop chip like this before

[ebon marlin]

People will complain about anything

[azure topaz]

people complain about gpu pricing for gpus they werent gonna buy even if it was half price

[ebon marlin]

People don't even realise the DLSS5 preview is an alpha preview just for the concept of proof

[azure topaz]

its also an optional future

[ebon marlin]

Yeah

I've also seen people it ruins the art direction even though DLSS5 is quite literally being worked with the games artists to ensure its what they'd want

[cold skiff]

As the next console gen is still AMD it’s never going to be an out and out industry feature for 10 or more years

I don’t really play single player games but I like the first showing

[ebon marlin]

Today was a bountiful harvest at work

[azure topaz]

fuckin kaboom @cosmic stratus

[ebon marlin]

3x512gb SSD's and a DSi with New Super Mario Bros game

All for free

https://tenor.com/view/harvest-gif-22492480

[cosmic stratus]

Yes reeco. Kaboom

[gaunt spade]

gpu is home

[tidal geyser]

Some people need to get themselves a laptop

[gaunt spade]

should i put a 3080 with a 650 watt psu

[cosmic stratus]

An rtx card that looks like it came from 2015

[gaunt spade]

🦧

[sinful cobalt]

nuh uh we all need this

[azure topaz]

realistically no

i had an a tier 650w and it didnt like my 3080 but my cpu was also insanely overclocked

[sinful cobalt]

https://tenor.com/view/silly-funny-reaction-meme-stan-twt-horse-gif-5445268815333743861

[azure topaz]

but it also hit ocp stock

so take that as you will

[cosmic stratus]

If ur cpu doesnt use more than 100w 650w prob aint so bad

Idk about 3080s transient spikes tho

[azure topaz]

issue is realistically the transient spikes with the 3080 rather than the cpu pairing

[cosmic stratus]

Yea

[azure topaz]

if you have a newer 650w thats decent it will probably okay

[gaunt spade]

i have a 850 watt layng around but its a hassle to swap it

[azure topaz]

if its an older 650w thats still great like mine was i doubt it

(i had a 650 G2)

[tall sandal]

Have you found a laptop with good thermals yet?

[cosmic stratus]

I had 685watt delta psu

[gaunt spade]

🦧

[tall sandal]

My recommendations are avoid Liquid Metal laptops, the risk is just too big

It has a higher rate of factory defects.

[cosmic stratus]

PTM7950 > liquid metal

[sinful cobalt]

https://tenor.com/view/kimi-antonelli-george-russell-mercedes-f1-kevvyinho-gif-5743567642411239244

[tall sandal]

Exactly right

[cosmic stratus]

Amazingly they perform the same

[tall sandal]

PTM 7950 is better, and it’s much less likelihood of factory defects

[cosmic stratus]

Haha zero chance

[tall sandal]

Yea that’s what people say, so why doesn’t ASUS ROG Strix just use that

[cosmic stratus]

Marketing ig

[tall sandal]

If it did I would buy it, the only reason I didn’t get Strix is due to Liquid Metal

[sinful cobalt]

they LM the strix for the maximum cooling potential

shit like the prime is ptm’d

[carmine yew]

Liquid Metal is better thermal conductivity by a little.

But the small benefits don't outweigh the risks of LM. PTM is absolutely the better overall choice.

[tall sandal]

Yea but users report defects

It seems more frequent, laptop severely overheating out of the box, or failing thermals within a month

[sinful cobalt]

thats something unavoidable

[tall sandal]

Due to very bad application from the factory, is more likely with this it seems

The risk is larger.

Because much more complicated process to apply Liquid Metal

[tall sandal]

Exactly, Strix should start using it

I think legions use PTM7950?

[sinful cobalt]

LM is more marketable for high end stuff over PTM being for longevity

[tall sandal]

The risks also high. Defective units are see frequently

[sinful cobalt]

because theres defects it doesnt mean they’ll stop the entire production line

[tall sandal]

With regular thermal paste sometimes it can be applied improperly

And that means you gotta replace it sooner, but that’s much more simple

[sinful cobalt]

If they want to push the 5090 mobile TGP to the limit they’ll LM it, not PTM

[tall sandal]

As long as the technician doesn’t warp the heatsink like it happened with my old laptop

which is user error, not a defect

Happened when I went to a repair shop to get the thermal paste repasted

[sinful cobalt]

So now we’re going over user error instead of defects, nice

[carmine yew]

companies worth billions and billions (like Asus) probably have a better handle on the risks of something like that than JohnQSchmoe on the internet.

Just sayin'

[tall sandal]

Yea just I’ve seen lots of reports on Reddit

It seems more frequent than normal. Just an observation

[carmine yew]

and self-reporting samples are just that

[sinful cobalt]

their profit margin fixing a defect is still high for what they’re charging for a high end laptop using LM

[tall sandal]

yea but the risk is larger, due to it being electrically conductive

That’s obvious

[sinful cobalt]

reddit doesnt give the full rma statistics

[carmine yew]

Long story short, when it comes to situations like you're talking about, the big company has way more info than you, no matter how much your dunning-kreuger tells you otherwise

[tall sandal]

Yes it’s true, I know. Still however like that was the reason I didn’t get a Strix

The only reason. Because having a liquid that conducts electricity in a laptop makes me uncomfortable

[carmine yew]

And that's a personal decision that even 98% of gamers wouldn't even put in their thought process

[tall sandal]

And my mom didn’t allow also.

Same with dad, he was very turned off by the idea.

[sinful cobalt]

oh no the ant is complaining and bitching to us to fix something that takes too much effort for how much we’re earning

the best way to avoid the LM problem is to either repaste it yourself or just buy a different model lmao

[tall sandal]

Yea exactly, that’s why I didn’t buy Strix

[carmine yew]

until you explained liquid metal (likely poorly) your mom didn't know it existed.
So you gave her a almost guaranteed poor description of what it does, so of course she's against the idea

[sinful cobalt]

And… You’re complaining about a problem that isnt yours

[tall sandal]

I said that it has it, and she said if it escapes it’s gonna brick the laptop

[sinful cobalt]

If you want a shithole go to the Asrock subreddit xd

[carmine yew]

he has to white knight PTM7950 and Honeywell lololol

[tall sandal]

I didn’t need to explain, so yea

Man it’s like buyers remorse, like jealous of the Strix

[sinful cobalt]

the ptm glaze is real

[tall sandal]

It looks Better than TUF, and is more premium. The only reason I missed out on it is due to my fear of LM

So yea it’s normal in the pc world, such thoughts

[sinful cobalt]

i guess he aint listenin

[carmine yew]

Dude.
Stop.
Chill the fuck out.

You made a decision based on your own thought process.

Stop fuckin' trying to sell yourself that you were right.

@Broke_Sim I’ll admit some venues haven’t been where they need to be, but generally the experience should be useable while we’re making upgrades. NRG is mid-upgrade right now. More sectors, more capacity, and mmWave going in. You should see a noticeable change once it’s complete.

just admit that you're easily influenced by reddit
that's what's happening here

[ebon marlin]

The Chinese have done it

[tall sandal]

Yea it’s true

I am, Reddit always man has done this

I should stop looking at Reddit, happened with other stuff in the past

[ebon marlin]

Mobile chips turned into actual desktop cpus

[carmine yew]

take responsibilities for your own thoughts.
Reddit doesn't have mind control powers

[sinful cobalt]

same energy as the anti 5090 people
“I was going to buy a ferrari 458 but I saw gas prices so I decided to get a hybrid prius instead”

[tidal geyser]

Wat

[tall sandal]

yea just scary stories on Reddit, always the worst is seen

[carmine yew]

Don't knock the Prius Prime. It's a baller vehicle.

[sinful cobalt]

he also forgot that PTM is kinda like a single huge turbo xd

[sinful cobalt]

my uncle drives a hybrid prius and tbh it isnt bad at all

[carmine yew]

My prius prime is (as of this week) 5 years old and has just shy of 120K Miles on it now

[sinful cobalt]

but the taxi prius drivers are always a fuckin problem

[sinful cobalt]

when/if I somehow get a car in singapore… I want a GR yaris/corolla XDDDD

[azure topaz]

old as fuck

[sinful cobalt]

cars are limited here, need to get one ill enjoy

[azure topaz]

those chips came out shortly after maybe 14th gen if not 13th

[carmine yew]

for 120K miles? I'm about at the EoL on my 2nd set of tires

[azure topaz]

new gen

[ebon marlin]

You're also a gay floppa your opinion is worth nothing to me

[tall sandal]

Man AMD Raedeon 8060s is impressive

[sinful cobalt]

my motherboard is doa therefore i shouldnt buy a motherboard

my intel cpu died of death therefore im never touching intel again

[azure topaz]

it’s a graphics card with a cpu stuck to it, it’s really not mind blowing

[ebon marlin]

Impressive yes but less impressive when the cheapest device with the 8060S is 2k

[sinful cobalt]

ALL HAIL PTL

[azure topaz]

and also has a dgpu

[sinful cobalt]

https://tenor.com/view/whatever-go-my-scarab-scarab-assyst-gif-9837798423909404507

[tall sandal]

Isn’t it an iGpu?

It’s integrated graphics

[sinful cobalt]

its quite literally a cpu with dgpu stuck inside it

[azure topaz]

the igpu section as almost as large as a typical desktop gpu

[tall sandal]

Ahh

So it’s not like a typical regular cpu iGpu

[sinful cobalt]

its like if you whisked oil and water really fast they can indeed mix

[carmine yew]

APUs are different than iGPUs

[tall sandal]

Intels 14th gen issues with the microcode

Does it affect i5s? Or is it mainly i9 14900K and 14700K

[gaunt spade]

i cant get the gpu in because of the case

[carmine yew]

AMD has had similar microcode issues with 7000 and 9000 chips

[sinful cobalt]

i5s are somewhat safer but still recommended

[tall sandal]

What about 14500?

[carmine yew]

is it an i5?

[sinful cobalt]

asus 7000 incident goes hard
9000 series r/Asrock also slaps hard

[tall sandal]

Yea i5 14500

[carmine yew]

Are i5's still vulnerable?

[tall sandal]

I’m not sure, that’s why I’m asking

[sinful cobalt]

my guy’s i5 has been running for the past 4 years so like

[ebon marlin]

isn't APU just AMD's naming of iGPU

[carmine yew]

work on your fuckin' reading comprehension

[sinful cobalt]

its still the higher end i5 K series

[carmine yew]

no. the 7000 chips have iGPUs. They're not APUs.

The 8000 chips are APUs.

[tall sandal]

But in that screenshot he sent it was a K variant

[hallow jasper]

whats the difference?

[tall sandal]

So im not sure if the same issue affects non K, like 14500

[carmine yew]

it affects all intel chips

[sinful cobalt]

it wont affect a non K i5 tbh

[tall sandal]

I heard certain ones

[hallow jasper]

The answer is "its possible". Thats about as far as anyone is going to be able to tell you.

[tall sandal]

Now he’s saying this, I was thinking that

[carmine yew]

lower-powered ones are less likely to have a problem, but the possibility is still not zero

[tall sandal]

Yes, so that means I should still update the bios

[carmine yew]

yes

[hallow jasper]

That is a yes always, regardless

[tall sandal]

It’s an OEM, but I am planning on sometime building a new pc from it

[sinful cobalt]

o man i went too early theres no 7 dollar chirashi 💀

[tall sandal]

Specs?

[midnight rampart]

pc boot looping after I ran an windows update...

[azure topaz]

does your psu have 2 cables for the gpu

that’ll be better than daisy chaining it on lower quality units

[gaunt spade]

i plugged the 850 in

and the 650 one had 2 8 pins too

[azure topaz]

your 850 can be of lower quality than the 650, i’d check da list

[carmine yew]

in the case of the 8000, they're monolithic chips, and built very differently from the 7000

And as far as I know, despite having iGPUs, AMD Doesn't call the 7000 chips APUs

[midnight rampart]

Guys, any fix to a boot looping PC?
I'm able to go to Bios, but do nothing else
Please help

[gaunt spade]

its c tier

[azure topaz]

meh send it

[gaunt spade]

kinda frankenstein tho rn

[tall sandal]

Man that’s sounds tough

[cold skiff]

You been raiding bins again?

[midnight rampart]

It is tough

[hallow jasper]

yeah but I figured thats just a marketing thing.

[tall sandal]

I’m not sure why that’s happening. Don’t want to give bad advice

[gaunt spade]

650 in case but 850 powering from outside

[tall sandal]

Never happened to me before

[dusk patio]

try #1027757333117415424 , but it's possible your OS or hard drive is bad

[azure topaz]

insane

but still i’d use 2 individual gpu power cables

[tall sandal]

but if I had to say it may be a bad drive

[sinful cobalt]

sheesh ive been a vegetarian a whole day somehow

[carmine yew]

can you get a linux live-USB and boot off it to check the health of your C: Drive?

Alternatively, your Windows install may have shit itself and needs to be reinstalled

[tall sandal]

As others said, that’s what comes to mind

[cold skiff]

[ebon marlin]

just stealing from work

[cold skiff]

That’s fair. Worth it

[ebon marlin]

i work at a recycling center and nothing ever gets tracked

[carmine yew]

SATA SSDs you say?

[grizzled frost]

too much volume and too little average value

[dusk patio]

omg this must be worth so much money now

[midnight rampart]

I checked in the morning my SSD health was 88%

It's an Sn570

[carmine yew]

if true, that's probably not the issue.

You can try running a windows repair off a usb stick, or you may need to do a clean reinstall

[cold skiff]

It’s worth loads to me as I could raid myself up with those

[midnight rampart]

Okay, I can do is install windows on another SSD so it saves my data
Sounds good?

[sinful cobalt]

i was gonna get chirashi don but since its 10 bucks instead of 7 like the last time… nah

[carmine yew]

If you want to do that, unplug your current SSD while installing the new drive.

Windows can be weird about some of the extra partitions during install, so it's safer to just remove that drive entirely during install

[grizzled frost]

imma come visit

[azure topaz]

already gone

my inventory now

[grizzled frost]

fuck you

[azure topaz]

robbed

[midnight rampart]

@carmine yew I have the current SSD installed in the lower pcie slot

[carmine yew]

And I have a single 2x16GB Kit of DDR5 on the shelf that I bought before the crisis happened

[azure topaz]

bro that’s also mine

[carmine yew]

Originally I had 3, but I've built 2 PCs since then, and... yeah. Hopefully I don't need to build too many more soon

[hallow jasper]

wait so you can't have chicken rice??

the horror

[carmine yew]

Newegg sent me an ad email this morning:
245 USD For a 32GB Kit of RAM!

.... and it's DDR4 of course lol (DDR4 wasn't visible in the ad listing until you clicked)

[sinful cobalt]

nobody is selling chicken rice at 10pm

unless i wanna go bumfuck far just for it

[hallow jasper]

I mean.. could be worth it

[carmine yew]

10PM? I can go to The Halal Guys

[sinful cobalt]

im not travelling 1 hr to a place that’ll take me another to go back home from

[hallow jasper]

Hainanese chicken rice in Singapore must be elite

[sinful cobalt]

nah their chicken rice at the malay halal stores arent it…

[carmine yew]

Hey, my MC is blowing out an off-brand 120mm dual tower Air Cooler for 25 bucks.
May be worth checking yours

[sinful cobalt]

yessir

[hallow jasper]

I've got a New in Box Frost Spirit 140 that i'm probably never going to touch, and an AK620 I pulled off my system. I think i'm good lol

[carmine yew]

https://www.microcenter.com/product/704476/kingcool-iron-wind-argb-cpu-air-cooler-white

[hallow jasper]

I have 1 PC now 😆

MC is only 20 minutes from me here at my office but I really don't need any more coolers

[sinful cobalt]

I have a C5 non CU still sitting around xd

[azure topaz]

i just bought another cooler 😭💀

[rigid fjord]

do not get a 5700, that is a 5700g with the igpu disabled and is out performed by a 5600 let alone 5600x

[rigid fjord]

@cold skiff no this

[rigid fjord]

these ones all kingston ssd's ?

[gaunt spade]

i have one of those layng around

[rigid fjord]

i have 2 that i stripped down

[gaunt spade]

should i buy a water cooled 2080 ti

[rigid fjord]

no

[tired geyser]

hey guys dose you guys know much about storage for pc i need to upgrade and get more storage but i dont kno which one to get

[gaunt spade]

i really wanna make a custom loop

[tired geyser]

and i want to learn what the meanings of the numbers mean on the storages

[gaunt spade]

gta 5 loading time fix when

[prime oriole]

Surprised intel does it first to this scale considering AMD partnered with MS last August for this

[prime oriole]

Weren't they already fixed?

[rigid fjord]

i'd start off with looking at how you'd cool just the cpu first so you have a practice in with it

[agile stag]

apple is insane i cant believe they swapped a phone cpu into a laptop and still made it thermal throttle

i almost had the thought about getting one since its the first apple product in a while thats caught my eye but man they really cant make a normal laptop i guess

[rigid fjord]

once you've learnt how to set this up and tune the pump's rate for the liquid flow, you can then add to it after

[sinful cobalt]

its more about the tdp and less about the fact its a phone chip

[hallow jasper]

meanwhile, all the people it was aimed at 1.) dont know what you're talking abouit 2.) don't care.

Frankly no one I know here cares. Its a browser machine for $500 running Mac OS.

LIkely picking one up at some point

[rigid fjord]

apple has a specific audience that will constantly buy from them tbh, then there's the outliers, and with this, they actually have some high performing products in the laptop market as it is

they also now have a laptop that's actually repairable

considering how anti repairability apple is

[gaunt spade]

i dont think so

[gaunt spade]

the water cooler is on the gpu already btw im not gonna be putting it on and cpu should be easy to find and i would do both

[rigid fjord]

never, because poorly optimized to begin with

[gaunt spade]

colorful 3080 max temp is70c

[rigid fjord]

you would need to figure out the tubing, what rads you need, reservoir size and pump

[dusk patio]

the target audience is gonna use those laptops the same way they use their phones

[rigid fjord]

105c on the core 125c on the vram, for max temps

[south arrow]

Coffeefefefe timeee

[gaunt spade]

yea i wanna do allat

[south arrow]

[prime oriole]

https://www.pcgamer.com/rockstar-thanks-gta-online-player-who-fixed-poor-load-times-official-update-coming/ it's not fast, but it got faster than before @gaunt spade

[rigid fjord]

there's also the case of possibly needing to replace the thermal pads and paste when it comes to an already liquid cooled gpu

[gaunt spade]

70% my ass

maybe 7%
