Lenovo P15v gen3 AMD

Don't do it, not even once

[tidal geyser]

i got a samsung galaxybook 5 pro

with a 258v

[tidal geyser]

wat

[elfin bridge]

Galaxy Book - I've heard some people really like them but I'm still wary after how awful the original ones were

[elfin bridge]

Don't buy the thinkpad model in question

[tidal geyser]

if im getting something it will be a yoga or something

[elfin bridge]

If I was going to offer myself up to be burnt on a non-budget laptop again I think I'd try Framework

At least I could just replace a defective mainboard or potentially kick up a stink about firmware issues that might be listened to

[tulip sparrow]

I personally have a Yoga 2in1 here myself wiht AMD 8840HS and its been plenty

My only issue is the phantom screen touching that was fixed in windows but is presistant in Linux

[elfin bridge]

Oh trust me performance is not my issue, the 6850H I have is great

I just can't use it as a laptop because it's buggy as shit

[bitter willow]

what is yalls opinion on the ASUS ROG STRIX B850-F GAMING WIFI? idk if is should get that or myb the asrock x870e taichi creator or the MSI MPG X670E Carbon WiFi

[elfin bridge]

Can't say I have any personal experience with any of the above, though I will note the significantly older chipset in one of your examples

[native path]

those are very different motherboards

[elfin bridge]

General advice is "buy what has the ports+slots you need and try not to buy a board significantly older than your CPU even if they share a socket"

Mind you last time I bought a PC motherboard the newest top of the line chipset and solid IO was about a hundred bucks and paying more was mostly to show off

[native path]

id just go with the b850-f and be happy with it

[frigid topaz]

What program should I use to stresstest my ram to see if it really works?

[elfin bridge]

Memtest86

[frigid topaz]

Thanks

[tulip sparrow]

Memtest86 for ram testing pure and simple

[bitter willow]

ik but still what should i get some ppl said not get X boards because some x3d cpus got killed on them but idk

[frigid topaz]

I think my bios is bad or motherboard is weird because I can't use xmp on my ram without it cutting off one of the sticks

[elfin bridge]

Check for seating issues and/or dust

[native path]

just get the B850-F

do you understand the price differences

[frigid topaz]

I've reseated them like 20 times to make sure even checked the sticks individually and all

[elfin bridge]

Might also be that your CPU's memory controller can't really do the XMP speed

[frigid topaz]

Both 16gb sticks work perfectly at 2133 MHz but the moment you use xmp to change the speed even a little bit up it cuts off one of them

[elfin bridge]

That's something that pops up occasionally

[frigid topaz]

I got a msi pro h610m-e so yeah probably

Tbh there's not a real difference between 2133 and 2666mhz in gaming so I'll be fine

[left dove]

Depends on more than the freq tbh

[frigid topaz]

Going from 16gb single stick to 32gb dual channel is a upgrade already

[elfin bridge]

I think one of the DRAM manufacturers got sued over it recently?
Bullshit if you ask me, the part claiming it can reach the speed and being able to reach it on a suitable controller should be all thag matters

[frigid topaz]

My ram is hella old lmao

I got Corsair dominator platinum

[elfin bridge]

I got that when you mentioned the clock

I presume DDR4

[frigid topaz]

Yeah

Also it has some weird RGB I can't even control

One small led on both sides

[elfin bridge]

lol

Technically lit

[frigid topaz]

I've seen Linus talk about it having some rgb upgrade you can do with it but not worth it

Old ass video so prob can't even find the kit

[elfin bridge]

I'm not an LED person anyways

All necessary lights are included with the monitor

[frigid topaz]

Same but I like some rgb and I just set it as white

[elfin bridge]

(With the exception of indicators)

[frigid topaz]

Chose to add the RGB controller inside of the case

Why not yk

[left dove]

ew, useless LEDs

[flat cliff]

I think I'm buying stolen ram, this guy is charging me $200 for 2 32gb sticks so 64 total of DDR5 were gonna meet up at a neutral place and he letting me bring my PC and UPS so I can put ram in, make sure it work and then pay him and all gosh dam. I know he is a tad of a drive but come on if that's it...

[frigid topaz]

Tell noone even if it's stolen can't track the ram back to you

Enjoy the good price

[flat cliff]

Thanks

[left dove]

Or it's someone who just wants to sell ram to someone that doesn't wanna gouge prices..?

It's almost like it sounds like they understand the market and they aren't a fucking piece of shit about it

[iron glen]

hi peyton

[left dove]

Marnin'!

[iron glen]

evenin for me but thanks

[left dove]

fuck you it is 8 am

[flat cliff]

Doubt it. He had ram a week before and the listing sold then messaged me saying he got more and the offerup listing still says sold so he not got many other DMs.

[flat cliff]

That nay be true because he could sell this for at least an extra $100-150 for sure.

[left dove]

I really doubt he's selling stolen ram lmao

[flat cliff]

Maybe $200 if he tried.

[flat cliff]

It was a joke

[left dove]

Wasn't a very funny one tbh

[flat cliff]

But idk how he didn't have anymore a week ago and magically got more to sell for $200 at this capacity.

[flat cliff]

Sorry

[left dove]

idk man, ask him?

[flat cliff]

It just sounds way to good to be true.

[flat cliff]

Maybe, can't just say hey this stolen that looks so bad. Anyways gonna enjoy the ram tomorrow. 64gb or keep it and run 2 16gb sticks and 2 32gb and be ultra baller with 96gb of ram?

[left dove]

No, what??

I meant ask him how he's coming about the ram

not just flat-out insinuating it's fucking stolen

[kindred halo]

Y'know, you shouldn't buy stolen items eitherway

There's no discussion or hesitation about it

That's if it's stolen

I doubt he wrote "fell off the truck this morning" in the description

[kindred halo]

No it's not it's 4:50 PM

You lied! Foully lied!

WEST COAST BEST COAST

[terse pewter]

[kindred halo]

I thought you were Canadian 😭

[elfin echo]

[left dove]

I'm literally talking about the coastline of a continent.

i.e. its TIMEZONE

[elfin echo]

maybe specify..

[left dove]

Canada also has a west coast?.. like idk what this is

[elfin echo]

I have never heard a canadian mention canadian west coast

[left dove]

Perchance use critical thinking skills

I know it's in that brain matter of yours

[elfin echo]

never critical ❤️

[left dove]

I literally dated a canadian from vancouver island that referred to that & vancouver as "the west coast"

its def a thing

[elfin echo]

i know 1 canadian that has said canadian west coast

[left dove]

just like how the UK has, you know, a west coast

[kindred halo]

Oh sorry
Usually it's people from the US who mention their coasts

[elfin echo]

Exactly.

[left dove]

Interesting but I guarantee other nations with oceanic coastlines talk about their coastlines

I've heard south africans talk about their beaches

people from mexico talk about their coastlines

I hear people from the uk bitch aobut their sub-par coastlines

[boreal vine]

Should I get a rx 6700 xt or rtx 3070 for 1440p, no ai bs and upscaling

[ivory mountain]

lol ur gonna need upscaling buddy

6700xt with fsr4 optiscaler probably tho ONLY cause the 3070 has 8gb of vram

[frigid topaz]

I got a rx 6600 rn and I'm not too sure if it can even run 1440p decently

Don't have a 1440p monitor yet

[boreal vine]

6700xt

[ivory mountain]

idk why people act like upscaling is a horrible thing

[boreal vine]

it is, for FPS games anyways

[frigid topaz]

Idk I feel like it add input lag

[ivory mountain]

lol it doesnt

[boreal vine]

we're talking about scaling right? not generative frames

[ivory mountain]

yep

[boreal vine]

yeah, it does add input latency

[ivory mountain]

upscaling has been around for god damn forever no it doesnt lmao

[ebon marlin]

https://tenor.com/view/get-a-job-get-a-job-thug-svenstoffels-white-washed-gif-9524112391504990971

[boreal vine]

yes it literally does...

[ebon marlin]

Upscaling reduces latency

[boreal vine]

downscaling yes, upscaling no

[frigid topaz]

I've played stalker 2 and fsr definitely added latency

[ivory mountain]

sure

[sinful cobalt]

upscaling actually adds latency ever so slightly but since you’re getting more frames to counteract its nonexistent

[ebon marlin]

Yes upscaling

[ivory mountain]

im tired of seeing people act like upscaling adds 500ms of latency like a god damn spectrum router

[kindred halo]

Spectrum router?

[ivory mountain]

i was making a joke because spectrum is a dogshit ISP and they bundle services with an equally dogshit router

[ebon marlin]

[tall sandal]

So guys how much do you think replacing the thermal paste on my pc could help with temps? It’s an office pc that my dad had, he gave it to me. Said it’s been unused for like 2 years and all

So it could mean thermal paste as coagulated, or this OEM cooler is just kinda ass

[grizzled frost]

i see no issues with these temps

[tall sandal]

Higher than I would like for a desktop, with a max of 92. And there is thermal throttling.

[grizzled frost]

what cooler

[tall sandal]

Not getting the full performance from the i5 14500, but I don’t know if that’s Because since it’s an OEM it’s lower quality silicon

[tall sandal]

Stock OEM cooler, it’s looks basic

[mint bluff]

Does ASUS have any ROG laptops with PHYSICAL Numpad?

[grizzled frost]

OEM's don't make silicon

[tall sandal]

like an Intel stock cooler but slightly better

[grizzled frost]

oh, throw a dual tower cooler on it and call it a day

[tall sandal]

I know, I’m just suggesting what if lower quality silicon goes in OEMs

[grizzled frost]

my brother in christ, how fucking big do you want your laptop to be

[tall sandal]

Too small the case, it needs a smaller cooler

[grizzled frost]

intel isn't spending the time to bin them to that degree, you get what you get whoever you are

[mint bluff]

Mate, I used Thinkpad, it was 17 inch and had numpad.

[grizzled frost]

find the biggest cooler that fits

[grizzled frost]

absolutely massive

[ivory mountain]

guys we found the one single numpad user

[tall sandal]

Ahh I see

But prob it could be cuz it thermal throttles

[grizzled frost]

numpad use is kind of normal for office work, but i don't get it on a laptop

[tall sandal]

Look you see, that’s maybe why I’m getting lower scores in Cinebench R23 than I see for this chip

[grizzled frost]

also ROG is a gaming lineup, and gamers almost universally don't use numpads

[tall sandal]

No it’s on the trackpad

this is a great laptop other than the fact it has inconsistencies in manufacturing

Just please be very careful if you consider it.

Like the risk may be large, if you are guaranteed to have no issues then it would be the one.

What I mean is problems with assembly from the factory relating to the Liquid Metal.

Some people may shit on me for talking about this, but it’s true.

[mint bluff]

Yup, it is handy and I use it in Blender, without Numpad it is not that comfy to work.

[tall sandal]

man lowkey I got buyers remorse man

[grizzled frost]

buy a separate numpad then

[tall sandal]

Before buying the TUF, I actually had gotten a Lenovo legion 7i, I tought it was defective because when I ran cinebench R23 its ultra 7 255HX was reaching 104 degrees, and having some serious thermal throttling. Tought something was wrong with the laptop

[grizzled frost]

last numpad laptop from ROG i can find is from 2018

and the performance of it will be more uncomfy for blender

[tall sandal]

Later I realised after I returned it that this was normal for this laptop, same max temps reached and thermal throttling. When i looked deeper into reviews

It was such a nice laptop, but man life is life

Cuz it was reaching 166w and all. And it turns out Intel has raised their Tjunction to 105c

[latent gull]

i use numpad >:(

[ivory mountain]

two numpad users

[latent gull]

but i use a legion laptop so its not an issue

and all my keyboards are 100%

[tall sandal]

Yea I returned mine

Lenovo legion 7i I bought before I got this ASUS TUF, same day I returned it cuz I tought something was wrong

Cuz it was reaching insane temps maximum in Cinebench, 104-105, but it turns out that this laptop does that initially in every review I watched

And the level of thermal throttling percentage, I’ve seen the same level in reviews but it scared me.

[grizzled frost]

welcome to the world of modern laptops, where everything thermal throttles and companies expect you to cope

[mint bluff]

So, what laptop would you recommend me?
I have this requirements

• 5070ti
• Physical numpad on the keyboard
• 1920x1080 or 1920x1200 monitor

[mint bluff]

.

[grizzled frost]

amazing question for google

[tall sandal]

Yea, I didn’t know about the new Intels temp level

But my AMD laptop is more conservative never really goes above 95, cuz that’s how AMD has designed their chips

But man the 7i was so premium.

[tall sandal]

Hmm if you don’t have issues with Liquid Metal

Get this. If you can take the risk of liquid metal

[mint bluff]

What risks BWT, especially when cleaning time comes.

[tall sandal]

It’s got a numpad actually this model

[tall sandal]

There are a few. Number 1 risk is that it could be applied improperly from factory leading to way higher temps than normal for the laptop.

Second risk is over time it can degrade the heatsink, leave marks. And when it’s replaced the guy could do a horrible job.

And 3rd most severe risk is that it could leak and completely kill the device.

But if you can take those risks, this laptop is for you.

[mint bluff]

And if not? What option can you recommend?

[tall sandal]

If you can’t get the Lenovo legion pro 5i

Pro 7i I think uses LM

but pro 5i uses PTM 7950 type

But why do you need a 5070ti?

[mint bluff]

Important, I already have a PC, but I now often have to be out and need a machine for my Blender and Video projects, both for work and my own.

[tall sandal]

So then I think get Lenovo legion pro 5i

[mint bluff]

Plus, I update tech every 5 years, so I want to take a strong machine for comfy use.

[tall sandal]

But are you really gonna notice the difference between 5070 and 5070ti

But if you need a 5070ti get Lenovo legion pro 5i

Try to get with AMD Ryzen 9 9955HX, but I’m not sure if that’s a combo

You may have to do with Intel, which has excessive Tjunction

[mint bluff]

But Lenovo mainly puts 2k monitors in high end Legions. I don't see any need in that for me cause it artificially nerfs the performance. Do they make them with 1080/1200p monitors?

[tall sandal]

No they don’t

It’s OLED

[ebon marlin]

I'd be cautious if you're gonna take advice from Ali

Just as a warning

[tall sandal]

And glossy also, but if you want 1080p but you are okay with a 5070

[mint bluff]

?

[tall sandal]

Prob get something with a IPS display

[tall sandal]

Don’t worry, just he doesn’t like ASUS

[ebon marlin]

Gives generally very awful advice

[ebon marlin]

That's not even what I'm talking about

[tall sandal]

It’s not true but ok

[ebon marlin]

We went through this yesterday

[ivory mountain]

the 5070 and 5070ti desktop cards are over a $600 difference lmao i think its obvious they will tell a difference 😭

[ebon marlin]

Third worlders are very ignorant

[mint bluff]

https://tenor.com/view/reaper-ow-ow-reaper-gabriel-gabriel-reyes-ow-gabriel-gif-5614084875928925676

I came for discussion, resulted a beef.

[tall sandal]

You have any issue with MSI laptops

There is MSI vector, but it’s got issues with the hinges on MSI, and the fans are extremely loud on this laptop

[ebon marlin]

I just came to give a warning

[tall sandal]

Nah don’t worry, he just disagrees with me

Everyone has a different opinion.

[ebon marlin]

Everyone disagrees with you since you give the worst possible advice

For example the conversation we had yesterday

But you are too ignorant for this conversation

[tall sandal]

@mint bluff this could be an option, if but CPU is not that good

But it’s lower priced than other 5070tis

[tall sandal]

What don’t you agree with?

[ebon marlin]

Everything we talked about yesterday

[tall sandal]

I’m saying real things with the Liquid Metal, like many people don’t think about this

[ebon marlin]

Metal liquid wasn't even part of the conversation

How do you have this awful memory

It was quite literally yesterday

[mint bluff]

@tall sandal DH.106 - You?

[tall sandal]

There was too many things going on

[ebon marlin]

Not really

[tall sandal]

Lmao off topic.

[ivory mountain]

good lord i forgot n64 games were 20fps

[tall sandal]

But honestly look, if you don’t care about risks of Liquid Metal

Just get this, it’s 1080p

[ebon marlin]

Lowpoly link looks so out of place

[mint bluff]

I just understood that you two started arguing again and decided to roam around)

[tall sandal]

Had a numpad and has a 5070ti

What do you think? This is an amazing device.

[mint bluff]

Name? Cant see it.

[tall sandal]

ASUS ROG Strix 16 G614PR

Thats the model name

Really it’s gas honestly.

Build quality is solid, thermals are quite good if Liquid Metal is applied well.

Hinge quality feels quite good, sturdy.

[mint bluff]

Well, well, well thats my friend just bought laptop, that's why I asked, cause had questions about the model.

[tall sandal]

So is this good for you?

It had a numpad you can see

[ebon marlin]

You can get a better laptop for 20$ more

[tall sandal]

Fits all your requirements

[mint bluff]

I'll look into it. I still have time to make my mind.

[ebon marlin]

https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1888407-REG/acer_phn16_73_92b8_predator_helios_neo_16.html

[mint bluff]

Mate, give options, I am all for it.

[tall sandal]

Yea just consider the pros and cons

[tall sandal]

Nah it’s got bad build quality

Feels cheap, I wouldn’t get it if I were you.

[ebon marlin]

Although it's 2560x1600 but can reduce it to 1200p

[tall sandal]

The chassis flex, hinges feel bad

I watched a review.

[elfin echo]

acer!?!??!?!!

[mint bluff]

But doesnt that give you soapy image?

[ebon marlin]

Not necessarily

[mint bluff]

Sine divition result is not a whole number

[tall sandal]

Look I recommend Strix.

[ebon marlin]

Doesn't flex much
https://youtu.be/PSlaEpWkHVc?is=4yYEv-0eGMfM7meG

[tall sandal]

This guy is very gentle, he’s too nice

he used to flex it more, Jarrods tech tests the hinges aggressively.

[ebon marlin]

That's a different laptop

It's the S model

[tall sandal]

I know it was the Neo 16s

[ebon marlin]

Let's use our brains for once please

[tall sandal]

But similar thing could be the case, Roy Strix is definitely more premium feeling

it feels more sturdy.

I’ve felt it in a store

Physically, the ROG Strix feels more sturdy.

[ebon marlin]

He put a decent amount of pressure and you won't ever put that much pressure ever on the keyboard lmao

[tall sandal]

The non S version. In a physical store the strix felt better

Well I’m just saying based on my observations

[ebon marlin]

But this is generally a much better device

[tall sandal]

Why?

[ebon marlin]

Way better cpu that is also more efficient

[tall sandal]

No 8940hx is great

[ebon marlin]

The 8940hx is a reskin of 7945hx

[tall sandal]

It uses Intel, it heats up like a monster 275HX, up to 105c

[ebon marlin]

"way better cpu that is also more effiecent"
"No 8940hx is great"

[tall sandal]

if you push it hard, in cpu only workloads

[ebon marlin]

Like what is this

What am i conversing about

[tall sandal]

You said it’s more efficient the cpu in predator

[ebon marlin]

Yes

[tall sandal]

Which uses Intel 275hx

[ebon marlin]

275hx is more efficient

[tall sandal]

But we know Intel uses more wattages

[ebon marlin]

Let's use our brains for once

[tall sandal]

Isn’t AMD more efficient?

[ebon marlin]

No and hasn't been more efficient for the past 2 gens

[odd marsh]

this is a generalization and stereotyping

[tall sandal]

Is there evidence of this

I have heard AMD this gen is the king of efficiency

At least from some sources.

[ebon marlin]

He's too ignorant for this Ali he uses very outdated info

[ebon marlin]

Not at alo

Intel has been the king of mobile chips the past 2 gens

[tall sandal]

Explain this then

Does this look efficient to you?

[ebon marlin]

Yeah if you remove the limits you're removing all the effiecency

[tall sandal]

That’s not what others say

[odd marsh]

temperature does not mean efficiency

[elfin echo]

new grease new 40 years of lifetime

it survived on factory grease for 40 years

[odd marsh]

and 200w in a laptop is an insane case

[tall sandal]

It’s not, wattages. But this is a very high powered laptop

But still it seems AMD is efficient.

[odd marsh]

look! the high wattage laptop isn't efficient!

[elfin echo]

my laptops cpu is 45 watts wtf 😭

[odd marsh]

fork found in kitchen

[tall sandal]

For example in crimson tech he said AMD uses less power but gets similar performance

[ebon marlin]

AMD is efficient but Intel has been recently better in effiecency

Talking to Ali is like talking to a wall

[odd marsh]

I <3 panther lake

[ebon marlin]

Why are third worlders like this

[elfin echo]

Good question!

[tall sandal]

https://youtu.be/ba7bipdayJg?si=dC4yhf7jpeaMtl61

go to 9:26

[tall sandal]

Look I may not be up to date

But it is true that in previous videos I watched AMD was more efficient

[carmine yew]

Panther Lake be ballin

[tall sandal]

I tought the trend would continue

[ebon marlin]

You're never up to date you keep using 10 year old laptop issues as your main arguments constantly

[carmine yew]

on desktop, yes, AMD is more efficient

[tall sandal]

It was from a few years ago

[south arrow]

Either cpu can be efficient if watt limited/configured proper depending upon its use case

[tall sandal]

Nah on laptops, from a few years ago AMD got higher scores despite lower watts

[carmine yew]

Laptops is not a consistent field, things keep changing all the time

[elfin echo]

FEW YEARS ago

[tall sandal]

But it was a few years back.

[odd marsh]

ok efficiency in this case is insane because the system is drawing 200w

[ebon marlin]

https://youtu.be/SA3EpbOc4fU?is=PSnYpmsqO3yKtE_Z

[elfin echo]

my laptop maxes 180 wats and its peak

[south arrow]

Multicore enhancement be like

[tall sandal]

Intel is slightly more efficient.

[south arrow]

But also props just an aggressive bios limit set, that is kinda hotts

[tall sandal]

It is not a massive amount, not enough to make a big difference

[ebon marlin]

Around 10% more efficient which I'll take on a laptop

[tall sandal]

AMD did run a little hotter, but that’s prob because it measures temps differently

The sensors, Jarrod always says it’s not a fair comparison

It is really true, we know AMD has their sensors different than Intel

[odd marsh]

B-B-B-BOOM

I need Pat Gelsinger signed memorabilia

[tall sandal]

Efficiency of this amount

[carmine yew]

Panther Lake go.... siiiiiip

[tall sandal]

I still don’t think it matters anyways. This is not a reason to get the predator in the case of @mint bluff

When cleary the predator has not the best build quality

[tall sandal]

Based on my experience in a physical store

[ebon marlin]

You're using a different laptop for comparison

[tall sandal]

Battery life, is not a concern on gaming laptops

[ebon marlin]

Battery life is most definitely a concern on any laptop

[tall sandal]

Yes compared to the Strix I recommend with the 5070ti and 8940HX

[mint bluff]

@tall sandal @ebon marlin You two, I know you argue to understand the truth, BUT relax. I just wanted info, and thank you for it.

[ebon marlin]

Which is a significantly worse product

[south arrow]

Got my lady the predator neo 16s and its a mini jet under load

[tall sandal]

Yea don’t worry, it’s just we don’t get along

[ivory mountain]

larp larp sahur

[tall sandal]

Normal yea

[elfin echo]

you both are WRONG

[tall sandal]

It is what it is with performance laptops

[ebon marlin]

The S is a slim version right?

[elfin echo]

How much max rpm?

[south arrow]

But it kicks buns on ray tracing and pathtracing so I dig it

Primo reflections, oh i dont even pay attention to its rpms its probs maxed

[tall sandal]

Yes

[ebon marlin]

Expected then

[elfin echo]

my laptop maxes 8000~ rpm and thats my flex 😎

[tall sandal]

mine is 6400rpm max

[south arrow]

If it works ya know

[elfin echo]

someone compared server fan to my poor laptop fan just to be better 😔

[tall sandal]

ASUS TUF A16 2025 with Ryzen 9 8940HX and 5070, 32gb ram

[south arrow]

Squints at the asics

[azure topaz]

what?

[south arrow]

You dare not have a thickky Boi in your laptop 😂 ||jokes <3||

[tall sandal]

Cinebench r23 scores

Desktop level performance. In just 2.2kg.

[elfin echo]

msi gl65 9sd still good 🙏

[tall sandal]

I know catto will say this doesn’t matter

[elfin echo]

It doesnt!

[tall sandal]

But its powerful man

[ebon marlin]

Yes because cinebench is an useless benchmark

[south arrow]

[tall sandal]

Damm this is super high

This stock? Or OC

[ebon marlin]

Oc

[tall sandal]

Yea

[ebon marlin]

The 2nd place should be stock

[tall sandal]

Silicon lottery lowkey

[south arrow]

Mines just pbo level 1, expo cl 36s

[tall sandal]

or maybe not, but it could be

[ebon marlin]

Eh pbo is just oc ez mode

[south arrow]

All core -30 but was awhile back

[tall sandal]

How are the thermals @south arrow

[ebon marlin]

This is NOT the geralt of rivia

[tall sandal]

Max wattage and temps and sustained levels

[south arrow]

Mytve been -25 either way decided the auto pbo gives a a better boost

[ivory mountain]

catto do i upgrade gpu or just make a whole new pc only having 8 cores is NOT it 3 people said js make new pc so far

[ebon marlin]

What even are your specs

[ivory mountain]

my 7800x3d doesnt even like -20 lmao

[south arrow]

She's icy 60-70 under most heavy loads ofc can boost as needed under algos etc

[ivory mountain]

7800x3d 6900xt

[ebon marlin]

What do you need more than 8 cores for

[tall sandal]

Yea must be pretty good Ngl

[south arrow]

Me keks? Or V?

[tall sandal]

Man this is a monster of a PC

[odd marsh]

do you just game

[tall sandal]

some crazy stuff Ngl, this destroys my laptop

It has significantly better single core also

[ebon marlin]

Vyruss

[ivory mountain]

on my pc im either usually compiling shit, playing city simulator games that need hella cpu horsepower, or some other cpu intensive stuff that i dont feel like typing out cuz im lazy

[ivory mountain]

this is clean as hell

[tall sandal]

Man I really like your case

[ivory mountain]

me too i love wooden shit

[tall sandal]

This doesn’t have that gaming pc look

[odd marsh]

what size fans are those in the front?

[ebon marlin]

Lowkey I'm unaware of those things but I do know compiling requires good multicore and so does city sims

[south arrow]

Lian li 217 has 2 170mm fronts i think

[ebon marlin]

Might find people selling 9950x/7950x cpus for cheap from ppl that were too late to get ddr5

[south arrow]

Chonkks

[odd marsh]

interesting, uncommon size but that's dope

big fans are the 🐐

[ivory mountain]

im not sure if i wanna stay on am5 im ngl my intel systems have always felt better overall, prob going to nova lake

[south arrow]

It can really push some air if i let it, but shes a bit noisy if left to stock

[ebon marlin]

I see ppl selling cpus for good prices time to time because they were too late to buy ddr5

[tall sandal]

Why didn’t you buy X3D @south arrow?

[ebon marlin]

Nova lake does seem promising since it's going to be a competitor to AMD's X3D

[tall sandal]

Since likely you could afford it, since you have a very high end pc

[odd marsh]

I keep my 200mms locked at like 30-40% all the time and my temps are great

[ebon marlin]

X3D isn't always the best choice

[tall sandal]

Why not?

[odd marsh]

Nova Lake will be goated

[south arrow]

Did everything I needed and was much cheaper at the time

[hybrid tendon]

I heard the pop of death

[tall sandal]

Got gaming it’s great, but this guy seems to do more CPU only work

[ivory mountain]

gg

[tall sandal]

Or cpu intensive workloads

[ebon marlin]

If you're doing something other than gaming then X3D will only slow you down

[south arrow]

Sometimes, i dabbles . I keep that linux bootable usb on me ya know

[tall sandal]

It has lower power?

[ebon marlin]

Fixable if any traces aren't damaged

[ebon marlin]

Don't think that matters on a desktop

[tall sandal]

How did this happen

[odd marsh]

eh not really with 9000 series

[south arrow]

🐝

[ivory mountain]

yeah the 7800x3d performs between a 5600x and 12700k in cpu workloads

im either going with the highest end one or the core ultra 7 nova lake cpu

[hybrid tendon]

It just kinda went poof while I was using it

[ebon marlin]

Yeah like this for example

[south arrow]

But power is to expensive and all the homies moving to AI, hate it here

[odd marsh]

give me the 52 core NVL dual bLLC

[tall sandal]

Unlucky man

[south arrow]

[tall sandal]

Is your CPU okay?

[ivory mountain]

i need it bro

[ebon marlin]

I'll probably dabble with Nova lake aswell but I'll be stuck with slow 6000mt/s ram

[tall sandal]

Those are capacitors right?

[odd marsh]

I've got 6800 mt/s atm, but Ill upgrade for NVL

I'll pay the price

[ivory mountain]

i have 64gb 6000 ill probably go to 128 at a higher speed when prices are at least bearable

[hybrid tendon]

I dunno, I'd be more worried about the ram because they got hit by sparks lol

[ivory mountain]

omg jjba

[tall sandal]

Man this is bad

[south arrow]

sad wiggles

[ebon marlin]

Electrical tape for the rescue for gpu sag

[tall sandal]

But is this a super essential component on the motherboard

[ebon marlin]

My own gpu holder was too short to reach the 5070

[odd marsh]

just inspect the sticks for damage but most likely they are fine

[tall sandal]

It looks like a capacitor

It is a capacitor right?

[ebon marlin]

Never

[south arrow]

Yeah, just weird itd pop like that. Happens i suppose

[ebon marlin]

I just started reading SBR instead

And it's insane how much was cut from the manga

Literally like half the content from the manga was cut

[ivory mountain]

i dont like reading manga honestly

i read chainsaw man, oshi no ko, and my dress up darling and thats it

[ebon marlin]

"my dress up darling"

[ivory mountain]

its peak btw

[ebon marlin]

That might be why

[ebon marlin]

Read something good instead

[tall sandal]

Man btw catto did you have an issue with ASUS before

You really hate it don’t you, you have something against ASUS

[ebon marlin]

You have the memory of a potato

[south arrow]

🥔

[tall sandal]

I know I know, you say it’s dogshit

The quality is bad etc

The support is bad. RMA issues etc

[ebon marlin]

Literally yesterday

[ivory mountain]

im ready for this upgrade so baddd man im upgrading damn near everything down to my computer desk

[tall sandal]

Inconsistencies in manufacturing

[ebon marlin]

We had a whole ass conversation about this

[tall sandal]

I know

[odd marsh]

I got myself a huge desk as part of my upgrade it's so worth it

[ebon marlin]

Everyday I'm thankful for not ending up like Ali Akin

[south arrow]

XD

[tall sandal]

man don’t worry guys, this guy has something against me

Cuz I have an ASUS laptop lmao,

[ivory mountain]

i use an L desk but its really flimsy lol i feel like ima come home one day and my pcs gonna be on the floor

[tall sandal]

And I was kinda defending the brand, like I did before

[odd marsh]

i ended up moving my pc to the floor tbh

[ebon marlin]

Literally yesterday me and you talked about my Zephyrus G14 and other Asus GL whatever the numbers are

[tall sandal]

Saying how ASUS TUF is great and all, ROG

[odd marsh]

the extra desk space is so nice

[ebon marlin]

Mate nobody cares respectfully

[tall sandal]

Yea yea I remember, a guy had an issue with the fan

[odd marsh]

and I already have a 6 by 3 foot desk

[tall sandal]

Failed fan of the GPU

[ivory mountain]

i have a cat thats in my room all day so i cant do that lol, i vacuum once every other day but still dont wanna risk him fuckin with it

[ebon marlin]

The gpu in my Zephyrus G14 had died

[tall sandal]

Yea you said, but you didn’t know why

[south arrow]

When I get my boys into their own room a bigger desk is a must

[tall sandal]

Just happened

[odd marsh]

yeah my floor is carpeted so it gets a little dusty lol

[ebon marlin]

How the fuck am I supposed to know such things genuinely

[tall sandal]

like you could infer

[ebon marlin]

Let's use our brains for once please for the love of god

[tall sandal]

Did the GPU run hot?

[ebon marlin]

NO

[tall sandal]

You can never know for sure but you can give a likely scenario

[ebon marlin]

I answered these same questions literally yestersay

[ebon marlin]

You're asking the same exagt questions as yesterday

[tall sandal]

did you get any artififacting before?

I never asked this.

Artifacting, glitches in game textures, strange lines

I mean was there any signs it was gonna die soon or did it suddenly happen. I never asked this

[ebon marlin]

Well that you didn't but it artifacted right before it died

[tall sandal]

Yea, but did it have a chronic issue

Or a while before, and slowly getting worse and worse

[ebon marlin]

It was able to run off of the cpu's igpu and Windows couldn't even find the gpu

It didn't detect it anymore

[tall sandal]

You realise this be important to know as a laptop user.

[ebon marlin]

No

[tall sandal]

could have been an electrical issue

[odd marsh]

https://tenor.com/view/monkey-buisness-gif-26885105

[tall sandal]

Something with the motherboard. Might have fried the GPU.

[ebon marlin]

Artifacting is related to the gpu die

[tall sandal]

Silicon defect?

[ebon marlin]

How the fuck am I supposed to know

[tall sandal]

So it just kinda happened but there weren’t signs before right?

[ebon marlin]

No

[odd marsh]

eh could be vram

[tall sandal]

alright

[ebon marlin]

The die and the vram yes

[tall sandal]

Yea I’ve heard, it’s VRAM related

[ebon marlin]

But windows couldn't even detect the gpu at all at one point

[tall sandal]

from the greatest technician that’s ever lived

[odd marsh]

sorry catto I'm not helping lol

[ivory mountain]

hey if the gpu was working it would be detected btw

[tall sandal]

Look I mean we can’t really say that was the fault of ASUS

it was just plain bad luck, it can happen to any laptop

[odd marsh]

yeah that's just GPU die

[ebon marlin]

Ali tier message

[tall sandal]

The problem is you think this means ASUS is bad

When this is just really bad luck, something we don’t know happened to that GPU

[odd marsh]

or just realize that ASUS is another corporation at the end of the day and it really does not matter

[ebon marlin]

Mate nobody cares about your pointless rabbling

[tall sandal]

yea I get it

Funky device

[flat cliff]

Since I setup a custom server for one game I play with my friends I kinda wanna upgrade it to be a little better. I'm just stealing compute off my nas that I stole when I upgraded my PC gave my old parts to my brother and his even older parts became the nas.

Has a 3600 a 2070 super founders edition (back when affordable cards were sexy) and sadly only 16gb 2x8 (wish 32 but these prices..) of ram.

I might buy some used ram because 16gb DDR4 or is not the absolute most trash price yet (or and don't ask me why I still have old 4gb sticks from my first PC can I mix and match like that?) but is there a good CPU to look at as an easy drop in replacement for some cheap upgrade so someone can play Minecraft while I play zomboid these are not hard games to run.

[stray portal]

you need to wipe your laptop it must be dusty

[ebon marlin]

This is a newer laptop that's been sitting in a dust free compartment

I own around 10 different laptops

[tidal geyser]

after tuning the shit out of muh linux i can make my laptops fans never come on

and in the good way not the stop fan way and overheat to death

LPE cores are amazing

[ebon marlin]

I'm gonna take a massive shit later on today I can feel it

Went to a buffet with my girlfriend today

Ate like 2 pizzas worth of pizza slices

[stray portal]

type of stuff that happens on tech chat 1

[snow mauve]

it's because we're a society now that broadcasts everything 24/7. nothing is sacred. i dont really social media at all. people don't realize how people can easily farm their whole life

its also because advertisers know this is easy reach, and pay peanuts for people to go do that they had a whole american dad about this lol

Actual test with cellular in use

[tulip sparrow]

Yeah done that already with my 3070 Ti

8GB is just NOT enough

[strange atlas]

Can i use same type c cable for charging mouse charging keyboard charging gamepad and using drawing tablet?

[south arrow]

Sure i dont see why not

If it works ya know

[tulip sparrow]

As long as its a data cable for the tablet it should work across all of them

[strange atlas]

no idea if they change voltages or something depending on the cable thats why i wanted to know before fucking my device up

[strange atlas]

alright thank you

[tulip sparrow]

Its the charger itself that changes voltage

[strange atlas]

goootcha

[tulip sparrow]

cable is just a medium unless its a very poor cable there should be no issues

[strange atlas]

its the charger cable for the mouse so i'm guessing its good enough cable thanks for the help again

[fickle juniper]

is there any possible downside to turning this on ?

[left dove]

why do you need it

[fickle juniper]

someone in here told me to turn it on a few days ago

[left dove]

do you have a dedicated gpu card?

[fickle juniper]

?? bro read the screenshot 😭 , rx 6600

[left dove]

Yeah see i don't care that much, but what I can tell you is no, you dont need to turn it on

thats for the igpu

[fickle juniper]

got no igpu but ok

[left dove]

fuck, capslock. You should have rebar on though.

[fickle juniper]

dude first said that i dont need to turn it on and now he sayin i should

[left dove]

I was talking about SAM you inept babboon

[fickle juniper]

i'll fiddle around in the bios soon and after that help my friend with his 4gb card to turn it on ig

[fickle juniper]

thought it was the same

[left dove]

Obviously not if it's two different things listed..

[fickle juniper]

what does rebar do exactly?

[left trellis]

try it and bench fps

[left trellis]

lets you access vram in larger chunks

[left dove]

BAR stands for something that I don't remember that has to do with the "packet" size of data chunks that flow between gpu & cpu

having it resizable means you can do big data swaps faster

i.e. better game engine performance

[fickle juniper]

ye thank u both

[frosty oriole]

Yeah, rip...

[left dove]

"above 4g decoding" should be another thing you have on if it's in the bios

[fickle juniper]

so if my friend with an rx 5500xt 4gb were to turn it on would it help him or nah

4gb kinda tragic

[left trellis]

11gb is sho much tho

[left dove]

honestly now that i looked at the screenshot yeah you should probably enable SAM and those other two I listed because the way that the tip is worded makes it seem like it's a fuggin' igpu

[left trellis]

try it and bench

[tired bear]

rebar is good

[left trellis]

but its usually recommended

[fickle juniper]

ye ye ok

[fickle juniper]

man 💀

[left dove]

It's friday, I'm old.

[fickle juniper]

i can assure you that my ryzen 5 3600 doesnt have an igpu dw

[fickle juniper]

how old

[left dove]

Profiles exist for a reason

[fickle juniper]

oh 29

didnt click till now mb

[left dove]

I make it a habit to use that line often because like

yall please use profiles & read them

[fickle juniper]

i dont go to profiles of people i talk to on servers tbh

[left dove]

its such a good way to get an introduction to someone without having to do the cringe in-person methods

[frosty oriole]

Not for large BeamNG maps at 1440p.

[fickle juniper]

how much does it take up

[left dove]

Also, g i m m e a l r e a d y

[fickle juniper]

fuck ts i aint doin it i cant boot into bios

i spam delete key while the asrock loading thing is on my screen

nothin happens, i restart again and spam f2 this time and nothing happens yet again

no fast boot enabled, also tried f6 and f11 none worked ????

f1 aswell

[tired bear]

what motherboard do you have?

[fickle juniper]

asrock b450m-hdv r4.0

[tired bear]

its f2 or delete

[fickle juniper]

wait is it the DELETE key or the DEL key on the numpad?

[tired bear]

delete

[serene python]

i am so happy with my cpu

[fickle juniper]

i spammed it and nothin happened tho

[serene python]

got everything up and working

[fickle juniper]

restarted 3-4 times and spammed it

[tired bear]

turn it off, unplug it, press the power button, plug it back in, press the power button, spam the f2

restart is suboptimal

[serene python]

i wished i could have gotten a little bit more speed out of it but eh whatever

[fickle juniper]

not working

[quiet viper]

is there some kind of way to check a gpu's fan health?

i clean mine every week and i'm a bit concerned if i might've cause wear and tear

[left dove]

youuu do not need to clean your gpu weekly

[hexed tapir]

Every week?!

[left dove]

also no, fans do not report health values

[topaz shale]

mines lucky if it gets cleaned once every 3 months

[snow mauve]

i would say normally yes unless you happen to be in a dusty area or exposed in a riser/mining rig setup

[tired bear]

if its making fucked up sound its fucked

[hexed tapir]

I hardly even clean mine yearly

[left dove]

Just use a fuckin' dust filter what

[tired bear]

automatic alerting lol

[snow mauve]

like this was an early version in a basement with a cold winter

[quiet viper]

so if not it's healthy? i didn't cause some sort of partial wear?

[snow mauve]

that fan was like a jet engine

[hexed tapir]

A disgusting miner smh

[quiet viper]

i live in a very dusty area

[left dove]

eugh, no cardboard insulation.

[snow mauve]

sold the gear all back again for profit too :d

[quiet viper]

i have to clean my whole pc every week since i'm in Egypt

[hexed tapir]

Triple disgusting

[fickle juniper]

i turned both 4g coding and rebar on

[left dove]

"just use a dust filter" was literally said like two minutes ago

[quiet viper]

but i don't tear it apart tho

[snow mauve]

for the record i wasn't trying to take your good gpus, mostly had rx580s

[quiet viper]

lmao i literally have one and it barely do anything

pc would still get dusty anyways

[left dove]

ok so get some pantyhose and make a custom one

[hexed tapir]

Psus went up too

[snow mauve]

dust filter is right. i didnt realize how much my power edge was pulling in dust from the super powerful fans and i tend to have my door cracked cause i'm in a garage office. i have a total jury rig of a home filter in front of my server

[left dove]

Cisco knows what's up 💅

[snow mauve]

this isnt perm but i did it for a few days this way

[quiet viper]

i'll see what i can do or maybe clean it once a month instead of weekly

Hey guys
if you can help me i posted here: https://discord.com/channels/375436620578684930/1487193959892516925

[fickle juniper]

turned this on

[left dove]

deadass, pantyhose, scissors, and superglue, and you can make a bitchin' air filter that's extremely fine, elastic, easy to replace, and lets a LOT of air through

[snow mauve]

how can i make this right obiwan

Seems to use all 11 GB. It fills up, then the game crashes.

i assume LG did some degree of binning for the free review units to help bump the review outcomes

but we'll see i guess 😄

[serene python]

wrote some code for my cpu

[stray portal]

am i allowed to post screenshots of wolfenstein gameplay if they have the scary symbol?

[hexed tapir]

The swastika is not a bad symbol just in ww2 context it is

[hexed tapir]

I would assume it's fine since it's a video game but I'm not a mod

[south arrow]

A symbol of peace originally, misused under a poor circumstance

If its not including nudity should be fine or hate speach

[iron glen]

Fine maybe but allowed im guessing not

Cz its still a swas and if its on its side it is that group's symbol or smth

The peace symbol is flat on its side iirc

[south arrow]

Well like if your playing cod 2

That happens ya know

If your just like this is a sick symbol, then ofc myte be alittle distasteful

[pulsar gate]

Im looking to buy a keyboard, so far ive been using one i got off temu years ago, but i want to finally get something better, my friend recommended me the logitech g413 SE US because it doesnt have those annoying borders. That being said i dont really have any knowledge on what keyboards would be good at that price range. The price of this keyboard is around 60-70 euro

[iron glen]

Yeah ig
Personally i'd blur it no matter the context tho

Hey guys, i have a old system just sitting around, it has 1333mhz 8gb ddr3, intel core i7 4770, Asus h97 pro gamer and a 600w psu, it currently has one Quadro M4000 in it, i heard about lossless scaling and i have another M4000 sitting around, u reckon i can plug the 2nd gpu in and try this out? (i understand SLI doesnt work on this board despite i have the SLI bridge)

All suggestions are welcome ;D

[grizzled frost]

<@&750150305383186585>

[grizzled frost]

lossless scaling doesn’t require SLI
