Catto im not buying a laptop anymore

Getting a modded xbox 360 instead

[ebon marlin]

who was vro

[timid kelp]

My pc is probably infected with an adware and I want to do a clean install of windows again, what should I back up and do you know any good free cloud storage service that will help in that.

[gaunt spade]

basicly the same

[cold skiff]

Thermite the hdd

[frail sequoia]

Nah cause one is good and one is just a laptop

[timid kelp]

I dont wanna thermite any storage in current times

[ebon marlin]

also why modded xbox 360

you know you can emulate 360 games on ur laptop

[frail sequoia]

Cause i can't solder shit

[ebon marlin]

you don't need to solder to mod a xbox 360 even

[frail sequoia]

R5 5500u can't, I've tried, also i have 360 games and a controller sat there

[frail sequoia]

Not anymore

But I tend to lose usb sticks

[ebon marlin]

you can mod an xbox 360 with an usb stick now

[frail sequoia]

Yes ik cause bad update and abadavatar exploits

But I lose usb sticks and any type of usb storage

[cold skiff]

just leave it in your console and you won’t lose it

[frail sequoia]

How will I add games then

[cold skiff]

Doesn’t only have 1 usb? I thought it had 2

[gaunt spade]

maybe better laptop

[frail sequoia]

I'm selling the laptop , 150-170 quid doesn't go for in good laptops used or not

[gaunt spade]

add a bit

[glacial cliff]

So for receptacles it'll typically be a single line out of the breaker / distribution panel to wherever the closest outlet on the circuit is, then a line out of the outlet to the next outlet, etc until the end. Typically with no additional junction boxes other than the ones needed to home the outlets. Sometimes for long/awkward runs, or modifications to existing circuits, a junction box will be tossed in wherever is convenient, and often hidden behind drywall.

For lights, its similar except woth the addition of a switch between the breaker and the light fixture

Nope no protections against this, very common problem in us construction and renovation projects. Additionally the various trades all basically ignore the others' work so often time the plumber might drill a screw o to a line the electrician laid, or the drywall guys fk up a data or electrical line.

[frail sequoia]

No cause im selling the laptop for 170 but the lowest offer i will do is 150

[gaunt spade]

🦧 i dont mean sell it for more but add money after

[frail sequoia]

I don't have any money cause my mum refuses to let me have my own bank account (I turn 17 in august) so I can't even get a job rn

[frigid blade]

@ebon marlin what’s the most expensive thing you’ve kept from the recycling center

[sick reef]

no one knows about leeco phones in 2026 lol

[gaunt spade]

why is the laptop 5070 so bad

[sick reef]

cuz obsolete and bankrupted chinese company

[frigid blade]

It’s a laptop GPU

[gaunt spade]

🤖

[ebon marlin]

Probably an iPhone 13 Pro but it's locked, 2x16gb ram, 2tb ssd

[frigid blade]

The ssd worked?

[ebon marlin]

Yuh 100% health barely used

[frigid blade]

That’s a cool find

[sick reef]

any suggestions for an android phone with unlockable bootloaders?

[gaunt spade]

buy it

[frigid blade]

Too niche

[queen perch]

who is this new amd cpu even for like wut?

[ebon marlin]

OnePlus devices

[frigid blade]

People with money

[sick reef]

e.g. Google Pixel and OnePlus, Samsung (for Exynos before One UI 8), uhhhhhhhhhh

[ebon marlin]

Samsung is for gay people

[frigid blade]

For basic usage, yes you can

[ebon marlin]

Google pixel and OnePlus are goated though

[frigid blade]

You just need the non consumer windows versions

[sick reef]

idgaf cuz these older exynos samsungs that arent getting oneui 8 are unlockable

[frigid blade]

Even mild gaming

[sick reef]

e.g. S21 Ultra

[frigid blade]

I had a Latitude E7440 with 8GB ddr3, i7-4600U, it ran vanilla Minecraft medium settings 1080p@60fps stable

[ebon marlin]

I've got a Pixel Fold and currently it's only purpose is to read manga

I take this with me to work and read on the way there and on the way back home

I don't like using my own phone for reading manga

[frigid blade]

You have so much stuff lol

I wish my room
Was like that

[sick reef]

well said 💀

these old ass samsungs without oneui 8 still has custom roms

[ebon marlin]

I need to go pickup my girlfriend soon and my room is looking clean and fresh

[fringe prairie]

[frigid blade]

My gf forces me to keep mine spotless she hates when I keep my electronic stuff out

[fringe prairie]

they are introducing a new 5070M 12g tho

[gaunt spade]

bruh i was talking about this and 2 days later they release it

[gaunt spade]

extra bad

[frigid blade]

I mean they’ve kinda “leaked” it a week ago

[gaunt spade]

have to get 5070ti for 12gb

[gaunt spade]

🦧

[ebon marlin]

Sata ssd's

[frigid blade]

That’s quite a bit

[sick reef]

actually oneplus nord 5 got custom roms

[ebon marlin]

I counted how many m.2 ssd's I've got and I've got around 40

[gaunt spade]

gazilionaire

[ebon marlin]

Varying from 256gb to 512gb to 1tb ssd's

[ebon marlin]

All of this is free btw

[frigid blade]

Reminds me of my latitude

Just got one but the i7-1185g7 for $150

[fringe prairie]

how much is eb 845 g8?

[frigid blade]

Was the best deal ever I’ve had for a laptop

i7-1185g7, 16GB ddr4, 512gb ssd, and 2 in 1 touch screen for $150

[ebon marlin]

I got a Lenovo Legion Go laptop with an i7 9750H and an Rtx 2060 for 10€

2x8gb ram 512gb ssd

[gaunt spade]

yea recycle place

lucky ahh

rich finnish people

[gaunt spade]

isnt legion go the handheld?

[ebon marlin]

I got a whole basket of laptops basically for free

[ebon marlin]

I do own that aswell goated handheld

[gaunt spade]

legion go my beloved

[ebon marlin]

Racist

[fringe prairie]

855 g8?

[frigid blade]

You know burn in isn’t really an issue anymore, especially with warranty, a lot of stuff that is build in and preventative also

[fringe prairie]

i’m asking if 855 g8 is available asw

[gaunt spade]

how do i work at a place like that

[ebon marlin]

Apply

[gaunt spade]

poor country

[gaunt spade]

goated joke

[supple gull]

Having warranty doesn't mean it's not an issue. I'd rather just not worry about it and save the money. Maybe get a Mini-LED instead

[ebon marlin]

Also someone donated us a 7000€ iMac Pro the other day

Misclick

[gaunt spade]

yea we dont do recycling in my country

[ebon marlin]

Also 2tb ssd that isn't listed there

I would've stolen the ram from it if it wasn't a pro model

Pro model you need to remove the screen to access the internals

[mellow sonnet]

these had xeons?

apple should bring back the imac pro by replacing the mac pro

[gaunt spade]

i would take that home

[ebon marlin]

Our recycling centers here are ran by local governments

[ebon marlin]

The max upgrade of this iMac Pro is Xeon with 18 cores, 128gb ram, Rx Vega 64 16gb, 4tb ssd

[mellow sonnet]

ultimate all in one

[gaunt spade]

vega 64 16gb???

[ebon marlin]

Apple exclusive

[solemn pewter]

I prefer 15" laptops over 16", and I prefer to have my number pad built in.

Seems like a good choice for me.

[gaunt spade]

crazy

[bold olive]

either 14 or 16 inch laptops

[tired bear]

its quite standard

[gaunt spade]

do you think i should get a 3080 laptop or is it too old

[ebon marlin]

Meh

Battery will be shit

And it'll be heavy as shit

Also loud as shit

[gaunt spade]

propably a cheap swap

[gaunt spade]

its a legion

https://giphy.com/gifs/crow-thumbnail-real-science-RGDn0H74zXsaybq668

[solemn pewter]

It's not about the battery being old, it's that the 3080 will drain a brand new battery very fast.

[ebon marlin]

Doesn't matter it's a power hungry predator

Think of it like the gpu is Jeffrey

[gaunt spade]

what about 4070

[fringe prairie]

with what cpu

[ebon marlin]

4070 improves alot from that

[fringe prairie]

with an 8845hs or 155H sure but some stupid 14900hx or 7945hx it won’t last at all on battery

[gaunt spade]

i wont be using the dedicated gpu while unpluged

if it has a decent enough igpu like a 780m im fine with that

[gaunt spade]

not in performance

[ebon marlin]

Power efficiency

Also laptop will be much quieter and lighter

[fringe prairie]

this depends on the laptop

[ebon marlin]

Doesn't need a 10 ton heatsink

You're gay

[solemn pewter]

4070 is going to do a lot better on power efficiency, and probably on performance due to more modern versions of DLSS

[ebon marlin]

Dlss 4.5 is very yummy

I've been a good boy and been using DLSS 4.5

[gaunt spade]

btw dlls 4.5 looks same on all rtx cards but it just takes more power from old cards right

[ebon marlin]

No

[gaunt spade]

theres no visual difference

so theres a visual difference?

if i use the same settings on lets say 4070 and 3080

[ebon marlin]

Lacks FP8 support

Fp8 support is needed for dlss 4.5

If no fp8 it's gonna run and look like shit

[gaunt spade]

30 series lacks fp8 or 40?

[ebon marlin]

30

[gaunt spade]

https://giphy.com/gifs/thinking-cat-hmm-hmmm-uUnPYB37kLHvFnH4bi

[solemn pewter]

For most people, the 4070 is going to be an upgrade in almost every aspect.

[gaunt spade]

3080 is 16 vram too

[solemn pewter]

Are you actually going to use that? Or are you just gaming?

[plain cypress]

Shhhh

[ebon marlin]

You're not gonna be able to use 16gb of vram on a 3080 mobile

[solemn pewter]

Lmao. No.

[ebon marlin]

Not even close

[gaunt spade]

gaming 😔

[ebon marlin]

Fujitsu on the other hand

[gaunt spade]

yea its not strong enough to utilize 16gb

[ebon marlin]

Fujitsu is actually better than Thinkpad imo

[solemn pewter]

Yeah, you're not going to put 16GB of vram to use gaming, especially not on a laptop

[ebon marlin]

With Fujitsu you've got everything from a Thinkpad + a removable dust filter

[tranquil wharf]

🤔 high end gaming laptops do exist

[solemn pewter]

They do, but that does not mean a gamerbro is going to utilize vram. Vram is extremely overhyped for playing games. For content creation, it is actually important.

[gaunt spade]

what about 5060m

[ebon marlin]

Decent

Powerful enough and very efficient

[tranquil wharf]

it's not "overhyped", you literally can't run a lot of games with higher settings with 8gb vram

[ebon marlin]

Should run all your games with no problemo el bueno el pablito

[gaunt spade]

it dosent make sense tho the 5070 is pretty close in price

[tall sandal]

@gaunt spade I see you are talking about laptops

[ebon marlin]

Didn't 5070 mobile have 8gb of vram

[ebon marlin]

Nobody cares about your romantical attraction to Asus

[tall sandal]

Are you ok with having Liquid Metal in your laptop

If so honestly get Acer predator

[gaunt spade]

ye its crap

[tall sandal]

It’s not, I just like Strix

[ebon marlin]

This vro is the predator

[tall sandal]

I have no preference to a brand

Don’t buy HP

[ebon marlin]

Meanwhile said person defends Asus like their life is on the life 24/7

[tall sandal]

avoid MSI

[solemn pewter]

This is something I can wholeheartedly agree with.

[tall sandal]

Lmao I ain’t, I just like ROG Strix

[ebon marlin]

MSI is good now

[tall sandal]

It looks really cool

[tall sandal]

Nah they have inconsistency in manufacturing

[ebon marlin]

You mean Asus?

[tall sandal]

They are know to have hinge problems

[tranquil wharf]

followed up by "don't buy this brand" and "avoid that brand" lol

[ebon marlin]

Old issue

[tall sandal]

ASUS has it too

[gaunt spade]

the same msi with a 1200p 144hz screen with a 4080

[solemn pewter]

So does pretty much every brand except for Apple and ThinkPad.

[ebon marlin]

Asus is rampant with that issue

[tall sandal]

No doubt, but the design is good, they just have issues with Liquid Metal

ASUS really does have inconsistency in assembly

[gaunt spade]

what about 4080 laptop

[tall sandal]

at the factory

[tall sandal]

Yea I agree, never had a defective apple product

[ebon marlin]

Every letter except G is worn off

[gaunt spade]

and you use it twice

[ebon marlin]

Insane

[tall sandal]

Look honestly @gaunt spade buy maybe Acer predator or Lenovo legion pro 7i

[ebon marlin]

Insane durability on that keycap

They probably double coated it

[tall sandal]

So avoid HP, don’t get it

MSI be careful

[gaunt spade]

acer predator super expensive

[tall sandal]

What’s your budget

[gaunt spade]

legion is best option but theres not a whole lot

[gaunt spade]

idk whatevers well priced

[tall sandal]

Lenovo legion pro 5 is good also

[solemn pewter]

Gaming laptops are a relatively niche product.

[tall sandal]

Buy it with the Ryzen 9 9955HX

with RTX 5070

[ebon marlin]

Braindead take

[gaunt spade]

g letter wiped off take

[tall sandal]

I haven’t seen an X3D variant

[tall sandal]

That’s the best model I’ve seen of the pro 5 in my region

[ebon marlin]

Ryzen 9 doesn't mean good

[ebon marlin]

Probably been replaced

[tall sandal]

bruh this is literally the most powerful laptop CPU in the world

Ryzen 9 9955HX

[gaunt spade]

yea cuz u use it twice

[ebon marlin]

Yeah maybe in a synthetic benchmark

[tall sandal]

Nah in real world

[gaunt spade]

theres a x3d variant

[ebon marlin]

In real world it's gonna be an ass to use

[tall sandal]

Jarrods tech did a review

[tall sandal]

Why?

Thermals are good, there is no issues in pro 5 with this

(Provided the cooling was assembled well in the factory)

It is not an insane level of wattages I think

[ebon marlin]

HX variant so it'll eat up ur battery, generate alot of heat having to run the fans at higher speeds resulting in more noise

[tall sandal]

As I mentioned thermals are good by design

for gaming laptops, battery life is not a concern for most I think

[solemn pewter]

Catto is correct here. Benchmarks do not mean much when it comes to real world performance. Laptop CPUs can be really brutal, and you do not always want the "most powerful" one.

[tall sandal]

Why not?

[gaunt spade]

so i shouldnt get hx

[tall sandal]

As long as the wattages are not too much, and the temps are under 90 under full load

[gaunt spade]

whast the cpus i should look out for

[solemn pewter]

Unless you're okay with the insane noise of the fans.

[tall sandal]

There is no issues.

[gaunt spade]

nooo

[tall sandal]

Intel ultra 275hx, it has too much wattage

[ebon marlin]

Yeah but unlike you we are not deaf and I don't want to hear a loud ass fan

[gaunt spade]

im gonna undervolt

[tall sandal]

Heats up like a monster, goes up to 105w

[gaunt spade]

i dont want noise at all

[tall sandal]

It’s a performance laptop

[ebon marlin]

Still

[tall sandal]

It doesn’t matter fan noise. You are thinking like it’s a “regular” laptop

[gaunt spade]

i would rather higher temps and lower noise

[solemn pewter]

Except for some people, fan noise does matter.

You can't apply your blanket preferences to everybody.

[tall sandal]

Then a preformance laptop may not be the best choice for them

[solemn pewter]

If there truly was no middle ground, literally everybody would have either a screaming jet engine gaming laptop, or a MacBook Neo lol.

[tall sandal]

They should just get an office laptop and a desktop

[solemn pewter]

A performance laptop with a happy middle ground would be an EXCELLENT choice for them.

[tall sandal]

It’s not super common to find it

MacBook Pro is good but it runs way too hot

[ebon marlin]

Wish they'd make gaming laptops with the 7840U/8840U chips

[tall sandal]

With m4 max, the temps are too high

[solemn pewter]

As I already said earlier, it's a very niche product. But that doesn't mean people aren't going to try and help him find one that fits his needs.

[gaunt spade]

i think ive seen one with the 7840u

[tall sandal]

The quality of the noise matters also

You don’t want a high pitched noise

[ebon marlin]

Quality of noise

[tall sandal]

So such laptops should be avoided.

[ebon marlin]

What are we talking about

[solemn pewter]

I think he's talking about small fans vs big fans.

[tall sandal]

I mean it can be a dealbreaker in some laptops

[gaunt spade]

do the new ryzen ai max 390 something get hot and loud with the 8060s

[ebon marlin]

How about no noise/minimal noise

[gaunt spade]

https://giphy.com/gifs/speech-bubble-text-chat-NjlRswMybn6VC8Vi8V

[tall sandal]

Then I’m sorry but a preformance laptop is not for you

If you want no noise get a MacBook Air, and just enjoy your desktop

[tall sandal]

It can still generate heat

[solemn pewter]

@gaunt spade Does a MacBook Air and a separate desktop satisfy your specific needs?

[tall sandal]

But not as much as others, ASUS TUF a14 has good temps and not much noise compared to others

[gaunt spade]

no

[tall sandal]

You’re asking for a gaming laptop and now you are saying you want no noise lmao

[gaunt spade]

gaming laptop for games

[ebon marlin]

Yes

[tall sandal]

^^^

[cold skiff]

It’s doable

[solemn pewter]

Then let's stop recommending a MacBook Air and a desktop @tall sandal

[tall sandal]

gaming laptop and no noise doesn’t work

[tall sandal]

He said he wants no noise

[solemn pewter]

What about gaming laptop with minimal noise?

[gaunt spade]

😭🙏

[cold skiff]

No noise?

[tall sandal]

so I just recommend MacBook Air which has none

[gaunt spade]

no noise dosent mean 0 fans spinning at all

[tall sandal]

Very hard to find

I’ve yet to find it

[cold skiff]

What about a gaming laptop with regular noise

[ebon marlin]

Yeah it means minimal noise lmao

[tall sandal]

maybe a lower power CPU

I think ASUS tuf a14

[cold skiff]

What’s lower power than a laptop cpu

[gaunt spade]

a14 super loud

[solemn pewter]

b r a i n d e a d take. If the only laptops that exist in your mind are the most powerful CPU in existance and a MacBook Air, please, do not waste people's time here.

[tall sandal]

what about XMG Neo

It has water cooling block, it has less noise

[cold skiff]

What about MacDonalds Book Burger Air

[tall sandal]

I mean one that uses less wattage

so generates less heat

[cold skiff]

Less wattage than what

[tall sandal]

Than for example HX Chips

Ryzen 9 HX 370 for example has less than normal levels for gaming laptops

[gaunt spade]

yep this is very portable

[mint trout]

My legion pro has no noise..... (Because I wear ear buds that block it out 🤣)

[tall sandal]

I mean you did ask for minimal noise

[gaunt spade]

why dont i just take the fans out of the laptop

[cold skiff]

Very quiet

Ali approved

[tall sandal]

then your laptop won’t work

[cold skiff]

That’s not true

[tall sandal]

it will just shut off when you game on it

[cold skiff]

That’s also not true

[tall sandal]

yea thermal circuit likely could get triggered

[tall sandal]

It’s unsafe, running it for this long

[cold skiff]

I reckon if you take his fans out of his laptop, he can still game all day on OSRS

No problems at all

[tall sandal]

Yea but it could hurt the cpu

[cold skiff]

I can assure you it won’t

[tall sandal]

And I’ve seen high performance laptops that some reviewers have tested

Thermal shutdown was trigged

[cold skiff]

I can’t think of a single laptop that can run OSRS that would thermal shut down when playing with just heatsinks/blocks and no fans.

[tall sandal]

it was shutting off in the max performance modes due to like 200w of power, and generating insane heat

[tall sandal]

OSRS?

[cold skiff]

That’s what I said

[solemn pewter]

It's the game he's addicted to.

[tall sandal]

Haven’t heard of that game

what is it

[solemn pewter]

Clicking simulator.

[cold skiff]

https://tenor.com/view/what-why-huh-steve-harvey-confused-gif-851902472584108843

[tall sandal]

I haven’t, what even is that

[cold skiff]

Time simulator

[carmine yew]

Old School RuneScape... k. Whatever.

[tall sandal]

ahh

isn’t that a basic game, why does he want a high performance laptop for that

[carmine yew]

sweaty

[solemn pewter]

He doesn't, Thaldy is trolling

[tall sandal]

or did you just make that up, what you said Old school RuneScape

[cold skiff]

No one said they wanted it

I just was proving you wrong

You said no one could game without fans.

Gave you a game you could

[tall sandal]

They can but on a special case maybe

[carmine yew]

laptop heatsinks are small enough that anything over ~10-15W will cause chips to throttle.

[tall sandal]

When I mean you can’t, I mean it’s really not ideal

That you shouldn’t be doing this.

[cold skiff]

It’s dead easy too

[tall sandal]

Yea then your game will have low FPS

And then its unplayable, it will just be bad

[cold skiff]

Oh I can assure you it will still hit 60fps and be fine

Maybe you should test it out for us

[tall sandal]

It’s not good long term.

[carmine yew]

runenscape is probably happy on 30fps lol

[cold skiff]

It was made for 20fps originally and then 50fps on the old school reboot

[ocean axle]

Literally any mobile game

[cold skiff]

20fps back in 1999/2000 or whenever it became rs2

[solemn pewter]

What's funny is most OSRS addicts I know are in the same camp as the Minecraft nerds. They have their RTSS running in the top right corner, and if the framerate drops below 800, they will go out and upgrade their PC immediately.

[tall sandal]

So then when do you think the thermal circuit will get triggered?

That shuts off power to the CPU when it gets too hot.

Basically as far as I know, it happens when throttling has failed

[cold skiff]

I’ve 60 locked. There’s a negative affective to going above 120 iirc

[carmine yew]

wtf does fps do in a fuckin' pixel mmo?

[solemn pewter]

No clue. WoW addicts do the same thing. I cannot possibly comprehend it.

[cold skiff]

I’m actually going to quote GN for actually being useful here but - animation error

[tall sandal]

Remember those old videos of like AMD CPUs catching on fire lmao

[solemn pewter]

I don't think it's about a gameplay advantage, I think they have a weird issue with needing their FPS counter to just go higher and higher

[tall sandal]

toms hardware, reaching in excess of 300C

[cold skiff]

Animation error becomes present above 120fps and below 30fps in osrs and causes misclicks/ incorrect tile being chosen when you click

[tall sandal]

When the cooler was removed

[carmine yew]

AMD hasn't had chips light on fire consistently since the early Athlon days.

Later on they added thermal protection

[gaunt spade]

ali i would trust you with my money

[tall sandal]

Yea

[cold skiff]

Above 120fps isn’t that big a deal on osrs, it’s 99% fine but can happen. Below 30fps it’s a mess for animation error

[tall sandal]

Look I mean I’m just being real with the noise requirements you have

[carmine yew]

I'ma build a rig and run it at 10fps for giggles

[tall sandal]

But there is likely a good gaming laptop with less fan noise

[carmine yew]

get a MacBook Neo and run it

no fans at all, and OSRS Supports Mac and iOS

[solemn pewter]

Thaldy is the only person here trying to play OSRS, so doesn't help poor Rico out too much

[carmine yew]

the Macbook NEO still blows my mind a little

Laptop Makers gonna have to step up if they want to fuckin' compete

[gaunt spade]

dosent the neo have 60hz

[solemn pewter]

You are correct, just like how most laptops have 60hz.

[tall sandal]

I did say MSI don’t get, but I think likely hinge issues fixed

If you want a very good thermals and not too much noise.

[gaunt spade]

lower end atleast

[tall sandal]

I think get MSI stealth A16 AI+

[gaunt spade]

hell fucking no

[tall sandal]

https://youtu.be/S8zGiCBu1fc?si=P_drIKbJ0FozLYMR

[gaunt spade]

im not touching msi

[tall sandal]

Why? Hinge issues?

[gaunt spade]

everything issue

[tall sandal]

I mean this one seems to have good build quality

You have a problem with ASUS?

Or any other brand.

[gaunt spade]

no

[tall sandal]

Then a TUF would be okay, but it’s loud

[gaunt spade]

a14 too loud

[rigid fjord]

ah, that sounds like the radial mains circuit layout which is more common in a more modern home in the uk where as the older ones tend to be ring mains circuits instead, hmm

[mint trout]

What about Lenovo?

[gaunt spade]

yea legion seems like the best option but i can only find 3080/5070 versions so far

ideally i would want a 4070 version

or 5060 maybe

[frigid topaz]

I got 32gb ddr4 as a gift and low-key idk if I should be hyped or chill because I have 16gb rn and idk how much of a difference it would make yk

[gaunt spade]

free upgrade is free upgrade

[tall sandal]

TUF on max fans @gaunt spade

[frigid topaz]

True true plus dual channel is better than 16gb single channel

[rigid fjord]

4070 is no better than a 4060 when it comes to laptops

[tall sandal]

From this you can decide if this is acceptable.

[frigid topaz]

Sounds like my ps4

[tall sandal]

In turbo mode it gets close to max fans, design thing

[gaunt spade]

brotha thats a tuf a16

[tall sandal]

TUF a14 as far as I know it not much off, a little less

[gaunt spade]

so lenovo 4060 to search

[tall sandal]

But the newer model seems less than the 2025 one

[rigid fjord]

this is a kit and at the same speed your current ram is at?

[frigid topaz]

Yeah both I think 2666 but oc to 3200

[tall sandal]

What about Lenovo legion slim 5?

[rigid fjord]

it's either 3060, 4060, 5060 or straight to a 5070ti

[mint trout]

This has been solid for me, but it does have the 5070. 🤷‍♂️ I mostly just do editing on this laptop, desktop is for gaming.

[tall sandal]

It has lower power on the CPU

[tall sandal]

so less heat and noise that means

[gaunt spade]

https://giphy.com/gifs/im-crine-shipostin67-eminem-crying-ZfUek4ZkGbh9x36wnH

[rigid fjord]

big difference between this and the 5070ti model tbh

[gaunt spade]

8gb vram

[tall sandal]

Is that an issue for you

5070ti is great but laptops with it are quite expensive

[rigid fjord]

so 3200 kits, before swapping the ram, go into bios and disable xmp save and exit, then turn the pc off, swap the ram out so only the 32gb kit is in there, turn the pc on, and re-enable xmp on it

[frigid topaz]

Okay thanks

[gaunt spade]

yes cuz games take more?

[tall sandal]

Then if 8gb vram is not enough for you, go with 5070ti

[rigid fjord]

this way you should have less issues when it comes to upgrading the ram capacity

[kindred halo]

@rigid fjord Remember last year when you helped me look for gaming laptops?

[gaunt spade]

🤖

[rigid fjord]

yeah

[rigid fjord]

not as much an issue on laptops til you're after greater performance

[frigid topaz]

Yeah I have a h610m-e so only 2 slots yk and I bought myself a single 16gb stick to later upgrade to 32 with adding a different stick but now I got a early bday present of 32gb ddr4

[kindred halo]

All the information you provided me then has been put into great use for me to effectively look for & research a proper laptop to purchase (no longer upgrading my PC past a budget upgrade for my brother)

Thank you for your help then, and for the information that's been carried over into now

[mint trout]

Honestly, I got it because it used up a stipend from a client that would've gone to waste.

[frigid topaz]

I low-key feel like my build doesn't deserve 32gb (i3 12100f and rx 6600)

[kindred halo]

With said information I've been able to narrow down my options enough to choose a Legion 5 15AHP10, R7 260 w/ a 5060 for $1,147

[rigid fjord]

more wattage into a 5070 doesn't get you better performance sadly, but when it's the 5070ti it's a fairly large difference for laptop dgpu's

[kindred halo]

13400F + 16GB

[frigid topaz]

Nice CPU, I got my i3 just for 30 bucks so yk

[rigid fjord]

just means grabbing a better cpu and going for a gpu upgrade later

[ebon marlin]

Not bad R7 260 is just a rebranded 8845hs

Identical chips just rebranded

[frigid topaz]

True, next upgrade is getting a 6700xt or 6800xt

[rigid fjord]

solid laptop, plenty of upgradability

[kindred halo]

Doesn't matter really, atleast it's a Zen 4 chip w/ 8c16t + 16MB L3

[rigid fjord]

if you go for a 16gb 9060xt instead you'd have the performance of a 7700xt/6800 non-xt

[kindred halo]

And a good enough iGPU to keep the 5060 shut off for most uses

[ebon marlin]

Also 780M

[gaunt spade]

pretty expensive for those specs

[frigid topaz]

I just need whatever is good enough for 1440p that won't cost me an arm and a leg

[kindred halo]

Mhm
2x NVMe 2280 slots (though one is 4x2, no real issue though) and 2x SODIMMs that run upto 5600

[ebon marlin]

Probably an OLED model

Alot of Legion models come with OLED displays

[kindred halo]

@ebon marlin Already mentioned bossman

[gaunt spade]

the new ones

[ebon marlin]

You're a gay

[kindred halo]

Nope
That's the 1.2K model with a 5050

[gaunt spade]

idk for 1200-1250 i can get a 5070ti laptop

so its not even oled

[kindred halo]

I am a half gay, get it right!!!!!!!

[ebon marlin]

Yeah but they also live in singapores

[kindred halo]

[gaunt spade]

a creeper blew me up

[deft jetty]

Sup bois

I have a PC and am thinking about upgrading, what do u guys think i should get

Specs

Ryzen 5 3600

ASUS Tuf b450m plus gaming

32gb ddr4 3200mt/s

Thermalright 750W 80+ Gold

RX 6700XT 12GB

[ebon marlin]

Bro was sent a heatseeking israeli missile

[ebon marlin]

Upgrade to am5

[stray portal]

i love clipping emeralds

[deft jetty]

Ram is just wayyyy too expensive

[ebon marlin]

Am5 upgrade is probably the only logical choice from that build

[ebon marlin]

With gpu there's not much to do other than a incremental upgrade to a 6800xt

[gaunt spade]

upgrade to lga1200

[deft jetty]

I was thinking of going with ryzen 7700 and a b650 but the ram alone costs more than the cpu + mb combo

[ebon marlin]

Yeah but have you tasted freshly pedicured feet with white nail polish

[sinful cobalt]

and another lowly 32gb in another pc

[deft jetty]

And where i live the 5700x3d and 5800x3d are not available

[ebon marlin]

It's like heaven

[deft jetty]

[deft jetty]

Back on to the main topic

Do u think that pink nail polish tastes like strawberries or is it a glitch in the matrix?

[ebon marlin]

I mean yeah if you get flavored nail polish

[deft jetty]

Unflavored

[ebon marlin]

It has the rubber thing in it you can just put a new keycap

What thinkypad is it

[deft jetty]

Now do u think it's a logical upgrade if i went with a b760 and an i5-14400f?

Or do i wait for ram prices to go down?

[hallow jasper]

i hope you like waiting

[ebon marlin]

It's gonna be a longgg wait

[deft jetty]

That's the thing

No one knows when will it go down

I mostly play

Pubg, cs2 and modded minecraft

So my gpu should be good for a while

[ebon marlin]

Ur cpu aswell

[deft jetty]

I've been getting ALOT of tearing and fps dipping especially in cs2

[ebon marlin]

I think there's another issue instead as there's people with way worse computers running cs2 with no issues

[deft jetty]

Well back to tinkering we go i guess

But in the long term other than ddr5 what do think my upgrade path should be?

[ebon marlin]

X3d

Since you mostly game an X3D would benefit you alot

[hallow jasper]

last time I looked used 5700x3D's were horribly priced but so is DDR5 so thats just what you get

and 5600x3D's are hard to find

[rigid fjord]

5600/5600x/5700x would be the viable cpu's to upgrade to, and you could go to a 9060xt 16gb as a viable gpu upgrade for it

[deft jetty]

It's literally unavailable in my country except for a single used 5700x3d that's more expensive than a 7700

[rigid fjord]

the downside of it being a microcenter only cpu originally

[deft jetty]

I actually forgot about the 5700x ngl

Will check

[ebon marlin]

I'd look into an used 6800xt instead since it's 15% faster than a 9060xt while being cheaper

[ebon marlin]

Expect it to perform the exact same as a 5600x

[hallow jasper]

5600x3D is the only Zen3 x3D in this particular list but any of the Zen3 x3D's can be stood in its place for this example. This is the kinda gains you're looking at.

[deft jetty]

That is my upgrade route once i upgrade my cpu but am going to 6900xt

[hallow jasper]

quite possibly a doubling of CPU bound gaming performance

[ebon marlin]

Should be able to find 6950xt for cheaper

[rigid fjord]

not really the same performance being shwon there tbh

[ebon marlin]

It's within margin of error

That is less than a 2% difference

[rigid fjord]

with techspot/hub, yeah no, not the same performance

[rigid fjord]

within a margin of error, definitely possible, just not the same performance

[deft jetty]

I think that i'll try to source a 5800x3d from outside the country

I knew that it's a good chip but never knew it was this solid

[hallow jasper]

*or 5700x3D

[stray portal]

whats the deal with x3d it seems pointless

[hallow jasper]

troll post?

[ebon marlin]

Pal has never used an X3D cpu in their life

[rigid fjord]

they're some of the best cpu's for gaming

[stray portal]

i have a 5700x and can run anything i want at both 1080p and 1440p in high/ultra settings

[hallow jasper]

or used the internet in their life, apparently

[stray portal]

with good fps too

and also other cpu stuff i dont get any bottle necks

[ebon marlin]

Yeah but I've got a 1440p240hz Monitor so I'd like to have that X3D

[hallow jasper]

ok its not ragebait, just a complete misunderstanding of how CPU's work

[stray portal]

ive had both 1080p 165hz (current) and 3440x1440p 144hz

i dont see why you would need x3d things

[ebon marlin]

To hit my refresh rate and to have my 1% fps as close to my 99% fps

[rigid fjord]

i have a 5600x, and it completely does what i want, but i still know that the x3d cpu's are way better especially for gaming

[ebon marlin]

Lag doesn't even know me

[deft jetty]

This is the real rage bait

[ebon marlin]

Used x3d's go for similar amount

And that is also an used x3d

They're very rare with very low supply and very high demand

[glossy vine]

ngl went for a 9900x3d

What did u have b4 if u don't mind me asking?,

does 9900x3d have 8x3d cores and 4 normal

[glossy vine]

It’s got 6 on 6 if I remember right

[ebon marlin]

6 x3d cores and 6 normal cores

[gaunt spade]

it's a classic that you can't not love

i havent been able to play them yet cause of arachnaphobia, i might try to pick up skyrim with an arachnaphobia mod but i just havent felt like its a good enough game to try that with

[stray portal]

also doom

official trailer dropped when i was 8, im 17 now

is it okay if i make the c drive 200gigs and leave the rest of the storage for a d drive for games n all Or should i do a half half split 1tb ssd

[latent gull]

ive always heard about ESO but i have no idea what it is

[kindred halo]

In lebaland a 5070 Ti model is $2.2K

Although 32/1024GB

With a 275HX & OLED panel

[rigid fjord]

essentially most of the elder scroll games but being able to play it as an mmorpg like guild wars 1 & 2 or WoW

[gleaming rose]

i love my 2 core 4 thread thinkpad

[sharp ivy]

I went to the computer shop

and a 5090 is 5.1K CAD

🤯

[compact solstice]

Is it worth getting into a newer amd gpu? I found a good price on a 7800xt but I’m not sure if I should stretch for a 9070

[sharp ivy]

There's an AIO there that costs more than my entire rig

[gleaming rose]

i would say so

[kindred halo]

What model is it

[gleaming rose]

e570

with a i5-7200u

[sharp ivy]

You need core 2 duo

The T6600 is gud

[compact solstice]

I wish I could find 9060xt but it’s like 100 over msrp, 9070 is msrp but much pricier than the 7800xt

[gleaming rose]

well see i already have tha laptop so why would i get a different one

i also paid $0 for it

[sharp ivy]

very nice

good deal

[gleaming rose]

i wish i could fix the dogshit battery life but i can just use a PD power bank with it

[sharp ivy]

my T6600 laptop also cost me free

[gleaming rose]

it only actually draws 25w

[sharp ivy]

oh nice

[gleaming rose]

no graphics card

games run like utter dogshit

but most are playable on low settings

[glossy vine]

it’s been so long since i’ve touched a gaming laptop

don’t you need to have most plugged in to get the full UMPH of your hardware?

[kindred halo]

Not bad

[gleaming rose]

depends on the laptop

[sharp ivy]

Ye

usually

[kindred halo]

I have a T470s

[sharp ivy]

even my non gaming Dell latitude slows down without a charger

[kindred halo]

Depends on the thing's TDP

[gleaming rose]

some of the better new laptops can do 50w on a battery and AC

[rigid fjord]

asus or nzxt?

[gleaming rose]

i want to play a game but idk what will run on this piece of shit

[glossy vine]

fair enough

[gleaming rose]

i'll give undertale a run

[rigid fjord]

minesweeper

[sharp ivy]

TRYX

[glossy vine]

i honestly just don’t touch too much on laptops i should though they’ve gotten a bit more interesting over the years

[sharp ivy]

360 Panorama

like

the new I5 I guess

[gleaming rose]

google may be able to answer this question twin

[glossy vine]

are all core on one die on this one?

[sharp ivy]

almost all are E cores

[glossy vine]

pumps good on those though? saw those in the store and just opted out went for a 420 kraken aio

[rigid fjord]

that's as bad as asus and nzxt for for pricing

[sharp ivy]

Idunno I didn't buy it

[rigid fjord]

going nzxt is a bad choice for aio's any time

[sharp ivy]

That's why I took a picture lol, why would you spend that much on a cooler (unless you NEED to lighten your wallet)

[glossy vine]

trust me i figured that out when i fired up my new pc, idk how long this thing will last

[glossy vine]

stick with cases only their pumps are garbage i hope this thing proves me wrong

[rigid fjord]

i'm surprised it's not doa on the aio straight away or failing on the pump for nzxt

[sharp ivy]

this monitor is also insane btw

[compact solstice]

Has anyone had experience buying open box items from Newegg?

[rigid fjord]

for 420mm aio, arctic lf2/lf3 would be my choice @glossy vine

[glossy vine]

not yet, just a weird geiger counter noise 😂 meanwhile my corsair aio is 5 years strong and still flowin💀

[glossy vine]

i’ll keep these guys in mind if my pump dies and i need another i need one that wont shit itself

[rigid fjord]

cpu wise, the 11th gen ins the better when it comes to the 2 laptop cpu's

[sour remnant]

9950X3D2 seems quite underwhelming…

[rigid fjord]

that sounds like air in the pump

[frosty gyro]

Planning on buying this, good idea or no?

[glossy vine]

im assuming it is, that’s why i’ve just left it because it actually works very well too i forgot to mention, kept the 9900x3d VERY cool under a stress test it was sitting at 63 degrees tops on cinebench full load the other week. i also found a youtube video from a reddit post of a guy who went through most of the kraken variant aios and they all made similar noises just i’ve heard some shit about their aios let alone seen reviews on them recently aswell diving into the possible source of the noise so i’m really just approaching it with an open mind at this point whatever happens happens with it mistake made learn from it just don’t buy from them again

i’ve heard it once or twice in my corsair aio but only when changing rpms on the pump (which i hardly ever do it’s mostly fixed at 2334 if i remember right)

[hallow jasper]

package power while 63c?

[glossy vine]

shit i don’t remember sorry

i just looked at temps had to shut. it down shortly after and store it away

i’ll come back to this though with an answer to that if i can remember, i’m just waiting to get a gpu for the thing before i sell my current rig and start using that one

[elfin echo]

Another update for the ps3, YAY!

blue ray key changes i think

Almost 20 year old console..

[rain lily]

razer knows what their market needs

[glossy vine]

some deodorant too

[elfin echo]

why the backgrounds on ps3 so much better than ps4

[glossy vine]

or shampoo frfr

[glossy vine]

it gets worse as the hardware gets newer 😥

[serene python]

@rigid fjord Entire cpu is ready

[glossy vine]

don’t get me started with the ps2 screens 🤌 🤌 🤌 🤌 🤌 🤌 🤌

[rain lily]

hell even water could be useful

[glossy vine]

tooth brushes and toothpaste

toothpaste is just rebranded thermal paste

[elfin echo]

Ps3 is like..

It refuses to die

After ps4 came, after all it was just a stronger ps3 with shit thermals and 900p-1080p

[rigid fjord]

sweet, when is it going to be fully made?

[glossy vine]

i regret getting rid of mine lowkey, disk reader stopped working but it still had minecraft ask me now and i would’ve attempted fixing it😂

[glossy vine]

pretty much the difference isn’t too significant between the two it is and isn’t it’s weird

[rose stream]

Still low-key wanna find someone to help me fix my old PS2.

[wispy thunder]

even stronger PS3 is actually debateable.

[elfin echo]

Whats wrong

[elfin echo]

Ps4 had mostly everything ps3 had, ps3 was the last console that actually got new things

than a menu full of ads

[glossy vine]

ps4 was kinda just a refresh imo

[elfin echo]

yeah

[rose stream]

Disc reader might not work anymore, video port is starting to experience problems, there might be other things though this time, I don't know yet what other problems those are.

[elfin echo]

i still use my ps3 for youtube, 1080p60

[elfin echo]

the dang disk reader

[rose stream]

That and even then, it might be in the need of some upgrade mods, just for the sake of doing so.

[elfin echo]

All of my stuff is stock

No mods make them last longer

[wispy thunder]

PS4 had wayyy more ram, far more powerful GPU, but the CPU/SoC thing actually had slightly lower gflops compared to PS3

[jaunty apex]

Idk but I want ps3s Xross for everything

[elfin echo]

And i hold onto that.

[glossy vine]

i just don’t bother

[rose stream]

Ironically, it was better utilized than the Cell ever was, so not that much is missed I guess. Lol.

[elfin echo]

The ps3 was scary since it supported 1080p while people were barely having 720p tv's

[sleek ibex]

Every game developer hated making games for the PS3

[wispy thunder]

it supported, but it couldn't always handle 1080p30 because as I keep saying, optimization is a lost art.

[serene python]

huh?

[glossy vine]

is it a silver one?

[elfin echo]

30 fps does not look bad tbh

[wispy thunder]

I found the console enjoyer

[rose stream]

And then they only tolerated the PS2 because it was a big enough hit, otherwise it was even worse to develop for than the PS3.

[elfin echo]

25 the slow starts to be visible

[wispy thunder]

the chop becomes visible in games from 60-120hz

60fps in most games looks choppy nowdays

[rose stream]

Nope. OG launch model (with the hdd bay, firewire port, and everything).

[elfin echo]

yeah

i dont want to upgrade since every game looks the same now

Everything uses the same engine

[jaunty apex]

Man wish those werent prone to failure. We have a dead one

[elfin echo]

i got a ps2 slim ❤️

[jaunty apex]

I use the cech 25xx we have whenever I do use it which isnt often

[glossy vine]

damnnn i do remember those nostalgia at its finest still gotta salut the old consoles. my mother got my a silver one back in the day for cheap from the store because someone tried to run out of the store with it and it had some scratches on it from the thrive dropping it . it was a SOLDIER of a console wish we never threw that thing out when we got the ps3

[wispy thunder]

but to me that's the issue right, why wouldn't you use the same engine if its proven to be reliable, performant, and easy to use?

[rose stream]

Well, sorta. Most games use similar engines, with two major offenders in particular (UE4/5 and Unity 5/6).

[wispy thunder]

like being different for the sake of being different is not really a good argument yk?

[rose stream]

And then there's just the rest on every other engine under the sun that exists.

[carmine yew]

laughs in Bethesda

[rose stream]

Well, mine took nearly two decades before it started failing.

[jaunty apex]

I think it started to die within a couple years. I was young though so idk how long exactly

[rose stream]

And it's been through worse in it's early years, yet survived fine since then.

[elfin echo]

is there weed hidden in the hdd tray?

[sleek ibex]

We still have the OG PS controllers somewhere

[rose stream]

Oh hell no.

[wispy thunder]

ykw, no screw it. The best game engine ever made is the Supercell Titan engine.

[rose stream]

It did however get dropped onto the floor, twice.

[glossy vine]

without stick drift?

[jaunty apex]

Evolution Engine

[sleek ibex]

Yes

[carmine yew]

I've got an OG Phat PS3 that's awesome

[glossy vine]

[sleek ibex]

Christmas of 99

[glossy vine]

lowkey boys ik this ain’t no ps3 or 2 but i go the bo3 ps4 still, the disc reader startin to act funny alittle recently she finally startin to go 🫡🫡

[jaunty apex]

Just get a new one

[glossy vine]

😂😂🤌🤌

[elfin echo]

Ps4 you say?

[jaunty apex]

kidding I know Sony pulls bullshit with their hardware ties like Apple

[glossy vine]

yessir the og og

[elfin echo]

ps3 disk drives last longer than that jet engine of a console

[glossy vine]

my ps3 slim did even i think and those were the most notrocious out of the bunch if i remember right

[rose stream]

Admittedly, they're somehow better with their consoles than they are with their pcs... Which are way more offensive whenever it comes to propriety nonsense.

[sleek ibex]

The OG PS controllers weren't too bad to use, though driving games were ehhhhhh...... Yeah analog is a must have for me

[elfin echo]

it aint og if the servers shut down like yesterday type shit

[jaunty apex]

Sony makes PCs?

[elfin echo]

analog 🔥

[rose stream]

Dunno if they do anymore, but yeah, they used to for years.

[sleek ibex]

In ye ol' days, they were an SI for a bit yes

[rose stream]

Their VAIO pc line was a thing.

[jaunty apex]

Lmao never heard of that, thats funny. OH VAIO

THOSE FUCKING VISTA LAPTOPS

[glossy vine]

nah i just mean the original bulky one not the refresh i swear they stopped selling the full ones and just kept selling slims at one point i could just be alittle blind a dumb tho

[rigid fjord]

more like an oem but a 'meh' one at that

[glossy vine]

sony xperia

[rigid fjord]

i'd rate sony > toshiba in that front for laptops

[rose stream]

OOOOHHH, they go further back than that. Lmao.

[sleek ibex]

Windows 95

[jaunty apex]

Its just what I grew up with lmaoo

[rose stream]

Okay no, Xperias are AND were great. VAIOs were the exceptions.

[sleek ibex]

And perhaps 3.1
