not up

[native path]

wdym

[sinful cobalt]

i dont have ethernet access

[silk sun]

is this fr? people said that 650 w is not enough at all

[sinful cobalt]

also bitrate requirement is still hard to maintain even though im almost next to the router on my tablet

[ebon marlin]

300w for gpu eh max 65w for CPU and rest 285w for the system

Other components sip power

[native path]

what happened to ur 2 tplink things

[sinful cobalt]

i havent bought the mesh yet since im waiting for when we swap

[sinful cobalt]

also DAMN my room is hot

[bold olive]

the fact that its also 7:30 pm rn, your computer is certainly the space heater

[native path]

those meshes are actually sick tho

Monarch Tractor, a startup that raised over 240 million dollars to build AI-powered autonomous electric tractors powered by NVIDIA, has effectively collapsed.

The company laid off nearly its entire staff in late 2025 and abandoned its headquarters.

It now faces lawsuits from dealers who say the tractors could not operate autonomously as promised.

[sinful cobalt]

i just looked at my pc and the GPU’s been outputting 480w+ for almost 30 mins and I had the windows closed door shut

[bold olive]

https://tenor.com/view/hell-elmo-fire-flame-in-fire-gif-17650880

[native path]

i have 2 of the not so high end meshes connected via wire and my god i love them

[sinful cobalt]

the cpu was also doing 100w

[native path]

they're not 10gbps but they're still 2.5ge

[sinful cobalt]

i need to get triband mesh

[native path]

triband mesh is nice i have that

[stray portal]

My pc starts stinking if it does lots of work in a hot room 🤔

[sinful cobalt]

which model do you have

[stray portal]

Is it normal

[ebon marlin]

That sounds like a personal issue

[silk sun]

this is wha claude says though

[stray portal]

I think its a feature of the pc

Fills my room with gamer scent

[native path]

stinking? 😭

[ebon marlin]

650w is fine although I'd personally get an 850w due to future upgradability

[stray portal]

Yeah it stank

Smells weird

[native path]

i want 10g meshes so badly my god

[sinful cobalt]

same twin

but ill only swap to mesh when I get 10gbps which idk if its even possible

[native path]

why would it not be

[stray portal]

What are you even doing with that much speed

[native path]

moving files around often

[stray portal]

I have 1gbps and i can download any game in minutes, what could 10x that be?

[eternal vector]

Huh, I’ve been trying to get Bluetooth working again on my pc for ages at this point but it just refuses to

[sinful cobalt]

idk old hdb so like

[native path]

its just fibre no

and gvt is ripping out all the old cables and upgrading everyone to 3gbps

[sinful cobalt]

watching-

streaming 4K 240 FPS content from my PC to my tablet which requires ALOT of biteate

[eternal vector]

Think it could be a bum driver problem that’s corrupted something? Cause I’ve updated drivers so many times at this point and it essentially just shows as no device active

[native path]

i live in like a century old and i could get 10g here

[stray portal]

Oh

That explains it lol

[eternal vector]

Anyone else had this issue with Bluetooth?

[native path]

i should start doing this i have pretty good internet to my tablet

[native path]

sorry i havent been reading but what's the issue again?

[eternal vector]

Bluetooth just refuses to function on my pc. It’s integrated in the motherboard, but windows seems to force disable it in devices

[native path]

hm

[native path]

updated drivers from your motherboard website yeah?

[eternal vector]

Yea I have a couple times, checked Bios config everything

I’m gunna do a clean install of the drivers now see if it works for some reason this time

I’d say it could be a hardware fault but my WiFi functions are still working fine

[native path]

sure, i was gonna recommend deleting the driver in device manager then attempting to reinstall

[ionic nimbus]

I had the issue on my windows laptop, it showed back up randomly and works now. It went away and came back randomly.

[eternal vector]

Yea, though I’m not actually sure how to go about using ASUS installer

There’s about 40 things in this folder ffs

[native path]

whats the motherboard?

[eternal vector]

B650 A gaming WiFi

I’ve got the files etc

[native path]

https://cdn.frroosst.com/746RQ3Qf.png

is this the file you're seeing?

[frigid topaz]

I got a mini led

I can't even take a pic to show it because my phone makes it actually looks better lol

[eternal vector]

Yes, it’s now saying it’s not compatible with my version of windows

[native path]

? 😭

[eternal vector]

For some fucking reason

[native path]

you clicked the asussetup.exe yes?

[eternal vector]

BRO I DONT KNOW

Yea, this pc is dumb

FIXED IT

[native path]

bang

[eternal vector]

FUCKING WOOOOO, god

What a dumb fuckin computer

All of this because I may have mashed my Elite controller so bad that using it wired is now not an option

🤣🤣🤣

[native path]

i wanna try an xbox controller and see how well it is compared to my ds5

[eternal vector]

They’re pretty good tbh, I would prefer some form of metal substructure in the grips cause I am a large man 🤣 but it’s lasted a couple years of me playing FIFA which says a lot

[hidden grotto]

anyone knows an app that lets me search for photos/videos using text ? kinda like how google photos on android lets you search by typing in "'cat" and you'll get all images/vide os of a cat in that folder/collection

(need this app for Windows 10/11)

[eternal vector]

I’ve kinda come to realise I probably need something quite high end otherwise I’ll just end up destroying another one though, the grips on mine have come apart and everything is sort of crumbling thanks to me having a vice grip when I’m pissed off

[native path]

https://flareseek.com/ dunno how reliable this is, but google told me this

[eternal vector]

Probably worth noting that will 100% be using the images as training data

[hidden grotto]

oh yeah i know, its a lot of "homework" i wanna search through 😂

so dont care as much about data privacy

[eternal vector]

Yea, I’d always be wary of using AI tools on anything that could have private photos or anything like that, as long as it’s nothing too important it’d be fine

[frosty gyro]

finally got my new cpu and motherboard

[native path]

Yup

[native path]

If you have a spare pc or home server you can do it locally

[ebon marlin]

A shit one

Only 300 dimming zones

Oh looks like a 7 in the screen whoops

[frosty gyro]

No worries

Just waiting on my ram to come now

[frigid topaz]

Listen man it's all I could afford, it was either that or buy the Xiaomi g pro 27i but that one usually has a red tint issue

[ebon marlin]

Xiaomi has 1152 dimming zones

[frigid topaz]

I know

[ebon marlin]

Also considered one of the best gaming Mini-LED monitors

[frigid topaz]

Fairs

But I still got myself an upgrade

[ebon marlin]

A mini-led with less than 1000 dimming zones is just pointless

Just a very minor upgrade from edge-lit

[frigid topaz]

Lemme be happy, I went from a cheap office 1080p 60hz office monitor to 1440p 180hz

Still an upgrade in my eyes

[ebon marlin]

Tung tung sahur

[frigid topaz]

If I had money I would've gotten a OLED ofc

[ebon marlin]

How much was it even

[frigid topaz]

250

[frail sequoia]

?

[frigid topaz]

Was on discount from like 310

[ebon marlin]

Ay caramba

When I was first looking at OLED monitors There was an OLED monitor at that same price

But I paid an extra 100 bucks for a monitor with a KVM built in

[frigid topaz]

Cheapest OLED I can find new is like 400

My buddies payed like 850 for his ultra wide OLED which is crazy

My pc itself is like 450 bucks

[ebon marlin]

Shalom

[frigid topaz]

I feel like I should return my monitor and just buy a cheaper one since the mini led and HDR ain't that crazy on this one

Maybe I haven't set up HDR correctly

[tired swift]

how is the 5070ti for 4k?

[ebon marlin]

Nah it's just HDR requires a minimum 1000+ dimming zone monitor

[tired swift]

Shalom!

[ebon marlin]

https://tenor.com/view/benjamin-netanyahu-netanyahu-jewish-gif-13500890569322376370

[ebon marlin]

Usable

https://www.techpowerup.com/review/msi-geforce-rtx-5070-ti-gaming-trio-oc/32.html

[frigid topaz]

So I should return it I see, I'll just get a good one for like 150 that isn't HDR or mini led and I'll have 100 bucks to spare and with some saved money I have I can get myself a 3070

[ebon marlin]

Model is irrelevant

[tired swift]

I got lenovos flagship oled for 270USD, you can exploit deals on their website using student discvount+promo stacking but u gotta get ur timing right. 1500USD 4k OLED 240hz for 270 is crazy work

[frigid topaz]

I got a rx 6600 it can barely run 1440p lol

[tired swift]

lol

[ebon marlin]

Yuh or get an used monitor I see good Mini-led monitors for very cheap on the used market very often

[frigid topaz]

True yeah

[tired swift]

Pesach sameach btw

[frigid topaz]

I just gotta think of a way to return my monitor because I don't have a car or someone to drive me and the box is big asf

[tired swift]

get an uber?

[frigid topaz]

I'm European

[tired swift]

ah

[frigid topaz]

Plus I live in a little town

[tired swift]

use the euro equivalent of uber?

Take a bus?

[frigid topaz]

Only cities have taxis and Uber

[ebon marlin]

Chag sameach

[frigid topaz]

I'll just order something from Amazon I need and when the post man comes I'll tell him to take it

Save myself a trip

[tired swift]

lol

[ebon marlin]

Maximum laziness

[frigid topaz]

Listen, I like being Abit lazy

[tired swift]

this raw or with upscaling

[ebon marlin]

Raw

[tired swift]

Ok i can get behind 80fps

[ebon marlin]

You can see all the individual game tests here

[tired swift]

Im going to buy a 5070ti tmr

[ebon marlin]

They test multiple games

[frigid topaz]

Wait is it true that 1080p looks normal on a 4k display because it's just ÷4 ?

[tired swift]

Its half so yes

[ebon marlin]

Yeah

[tired swift]

but its /2 not /4

[frigid topaz]

I see I see

[ebon marlin]

2560x1440 at 1080p on the otherhand looks scuffed

[frigid topaz]

Might get 4k one day just for movies and such and then switch to 1080p when playing

[frigid topaz]

Listen I've played on 720p and 1080p all my life

I'm used to it

[tired swift]

720p is crazy work

[odd marsh]

yeah it looks "normal" but if you're playing on like a 27" or 32" display, it will not look super great,

[ebon marlin]

Yeah was about to say that

[frigid topaz]

768p to be exact

[odd marsh]

1080P PPI at 27" and 32" is pretty low

[frigid topaz]

Yeah ik ik I play on 27, 32 too big for me and 24 too small

[tired swift]

i currently have 2 24" 1080p 144hz. But my new 4k oled arrives soon very excited

[frigid topaz]

Hell yeah

[tired swift]

got the deal of my life

[frigid topaz]

One day when I move out I'll treat myself with a very good oled

I got a big ass OLED tv downstairs and movies look so good

Ngl I used to prefer watching movies on my phone's OLED screen than on my monitor

[tired swift]

I agree my phone way better than my 1080p monitor

[ebon marlin]

Got a 5070 myself but might get a 4k OLED monitor soon

Currently at work I use a 32" 4k monitor it's nice

[solar moat]

ram is looking at your walet

[odd marsh]

with DLSS it'll be mint

[ebon marlin]

Yeah

Currently I use DLSS Q/B at 1440p

[odd marsh]

yeah you can use performance DLSS at 4K and it'll be fine

I was running a 4070 at 4K for a while

[frosty gyro]

comes tommorow, it was 330😭

[ebon marlin]

Ram and ssd's

[viral kayak]

i have a gtx 1070 and a 14600k. i need a gpu upgrade whats a good upgrade for me thats atleast 30 series nvidia or 6000 series amd

[solar moat]

5090

[bold olive]

can you send an ssd to me pwease i wanna dualboot linux properly

🥺

[ebon marlin]

[north hill]

2080-Ti

[viral kayak]

wouldnt a 3070 be better?

[north hill]

maybe?

[viral kayak]

on the market right now the 3070 is cheaper for me

[native path]

sounds like you want the 3070

[viral kayak]

saw some guy trying to sell a 2080 ti for 590

[viral kayak]

i mean yes when the 2080 ti is more expensive

the market here in norway is pretty fucked so

[frigid topaz]

I am looking at the 3070 too or rx 6700xt but rather get the 3070 because of RT

[sinful cobalt]

you are not ray tracing on a 3070

[gloomy sleet]

ray tracing is not enough of an advantage to warrant that

also a 6700xt would probably perform better rt anyway? (35fps compared to 30fps)

[ebon marlin]

There's someone here trying to sell a faulty MSI Pulse laptop with an i7 11800H ans Rtx 3050 Ti for 1200€ because stores still sell it for 1400€

[frigid topaz]

I've seen the 3070 run like almost 60fps on ultra with ultra ray tracing too

[gloomy sleet]

what game?

[hidden charm]

How can't 65% keyboards be more common, feels like they have exactly the keys most people need and use on a daily basis...

[frigid topaz]

I need my num keys and other keys to the right because of cheats

[ebon marlin]

@craggy cove go buy insanely good deal

Faulty i7-11800H Rtx 3050 Ti laptop for only 1000€

[frigid topaz]

...

I've seen a 5090 being sold for 800 with out vram and die

[hidden charm]

Well I think like +90% of people really don't need them

[frigid topaz]

I feel like 95% is my next switch

A little more compact

Rn the keyboard I'm using is 50 cents lol I got it from a thrift store

It's a keyboard you got 15 years ago with a office pc

[flat cliff]

I'm gonna put in a GPU as well 2070 super founder edition. So got some good weight to it. I didn't heat insert some stand offs and am lazy just screwing into the plastic behind the motherboard, good enough or don't risk it with that kinda weight the case is 3D printed.

[frigid topaz]

Never had any complaints besides when I hold shift sometimes if I give it 95% pressures instead of 100 it stops registering

[frigid topaz]

We got similar ssds

Nice

[viral kayak]

i should have a numpad but i was dumb enough to buy a keyboard without one

[frigid topaz]

Get a USB one

Like 15 bucks

[flat cliff]

OK got this before the shortage. Anyways think into the bare plastic its just PETG is fine or do I need to heat insert some standoffs?

[viral kayak]

nah ill get a new gpu first

[frigid topaz]

Fairs

[frigid topaz]

Wdym

[sinful cobalt]

forza horizon

[flat cliff]

Like I'm technically supposed to heat insert some stand offs with my soldering iron. But I didn't buy then (oops) and am lazy. Do you think its safe to screw into only the bare plastic?

[gloomy sleet]

they are

60% and 65% generally are extremely popular

the gmk67 is my default recommendation for anyone buying a keyboard nowadays

[frigid topaz]

Hmmmm Idk ngl almost screwed in ssd without a stand off making it bend a little lol

I've never had a m.2 ssd so didn't know I needed a standoff

Instead of heat just use super glue

Idk if glue is conductive

[flat cliff]

And I'm talking motherboard with GPU weight and all into the 3D print plastic not nvme ssd.

[frigid topaz]

Ohhhhhh

Mb im a little slow

Running on 2 hours of sleep

[hidden charm]

I want a split one with tenting and some mouse module like a trackpoint or similar.
I have a UHK-80 but I want something more lightweight as well

[glossy veldt]

gang wish me luck, im tryna trade my wii for a psvita

its the 3g model too 💔 💔 💔

[grizzled frost]

3g doesn't even exist anymore

[stray portal]

why

keep your wii its epic

[glossy veldt]

because i got bored of my wii i've had it since 2013

[flat cliff]

Also stupid me saw up to 5 fans and up to 4HDD and was like cool and I got a lot of fans and do NEED 4 HDD mounts. But I didn't realize that oops I have to put the HDDs where the fans go and this being PETG (the recommended print material on maker world) I'm getting a little close to the red zone here.

How bad would it be if I only had 1-2 fans at the top of the case? One of them mostly blocked by the PSU? Like how much hotter is it gonna get roughly?

https://makerworld.com/models/1740435?appSharePlatform=copy

[glossy veldt]

and the wiimotes are expensive

[stray portal]

If it would be a child would you still trade him??

[grizzled frost]

no idea, try it and find out

[glossy veldt]

i might

[stray portal]

😭

[glossy veldt]

my other choice is to sell a lotta shit to get the money

[flat cliff]

But I don't want the case warping because I did that and the temps were to high.

[glossy veldt]

i'd need to sell my motorcycle's useless overly big carburator which i don't use

[stray portal]

ive had my ps4 for like 8 years i cant sell it its so iconic

[grizzled frost]

so keep an eye on temps as you try it

[glossy veldt]

i've got two PS4 slims, i got bored of those too

[stray portal]

too much of a good thing becomes bad

?:;mnbvcxzASDFGHJÂÎĂYTREWQaasdfghjklșț

[glossy veldt]

i've wanted a psp or psvita since i was 9 years old in school

when one of my classmates took his psp to the class

that thing opened like a transformer to put the discs in

and i remember one time too, i was at a hospital, and some kid had a nintendo DS

holding a handheld instead of a phone levels up your status by like 3 tiers

then again i might just be dumb for buying a psvita for 130 us dollars equivalent

[flat cliff]

This is supposed to be a server where I put it in a room, run it headless and that's just that. I'm never gonna be gaming with it next to me to just watch it while its going.

[grizzled frost]

So maybe, just maybe, check temps before you abandon it in another room

Because the chances of someone else having run the exact same config and knowing what the temps are gonna be is next to 0

[glossy veldt]

doesn't petg warp at like 70°c

[grizzled frost]

70-80c, but it'll begin softening a bit before that

[glossy veldt]

rad

[stray portal]

yall pls help how do i clen my monitor its wayy to dirty

[grizzled frost]

distilled water and a microfiber cloth

[glossy veldt]

spray alcohol directly on it to maximize damage caused to the lcd

[stray portal]

ermm distill water?

[glossy veldt]

i usually do what Iroh says

[stray portal]

would sanitary alcohol work

[swift thorn]

water that is just water; bottled water usually has minerals and stuff

[glossy veldt]

do NOT use alcohol

[swift thorn]

do NOT use alcohol, it can damage the coating on your monitor

[grizzled frost]

Amazing way to melt layers of your monitor off

[odd marsh]

do not use alcohol

[stray portal]

my dad used wet wipes on it some ltime ago now it has smudges all over it

[glossy veldt]

i wonder why

[odd marsh]

yeah the wet wipes probably ruined the coating

[viral kayak]

what should i use to clean my ips monitor?

[odd marsh]

clean microfiber and distilled water

[viral kayak]

so what bottle water from a store and microfiber

[glossy veldt]

the lion doesn't concern with cleaning his 768p monitor

[swift thorn]

I want to say wet wipes ruined it but maybe he just spread the smudge around; regardless you should try distilled water with a microfiber cloth, and ask your parents not to clean it with wet wipes next time

[odd marsh]

not bottle water, distilled water

distilled watter has most of the impurities removed

[viral kayak]

uhhh dont think i can get that without ordering it

[swift thorn]

PS: it's worth it to order rather than just risk it

[glossy veldt]

wouldn't it be wise to buy some lens cleaning solution

[viral kayak]

well wouldnt a damp cloth work?

[swift thorn]

I'm not going to help you with family matters. that's for you to sort out.

[stray portal]

i thought you were a family guy

[swift thorn]

why am I here there's a full short including plouffe on this

[viral kayak]

i have glass cleaner for like glasses is that safe to use?

[odd marsh]

nah

[swift thorn]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/FPe3TAKOT9Y

[odd marsh]

just use a dry cloth for now till you can get distilled water

[swift thorn]

there go follow that

[gloomy sleet]

can it run cyberpunk2077 path traced

[craggy cove]

i used to put some random gigabyte gpu driver disk in to my gpu-less pc hoping it would make it faster

[sinful cobalt]

3 frames every 7 months

[abstract wigeon]

am i half asleep what does this mean

[ebon marlin]

Yes

Very grainy and very heavy AI processing

Tried one out at a store

I was zooming on text that looked perfectly readable

And the AI postprocessing smothered the text into an unreadable mess

Even the Xiaomi 15T looked way better at 30x zoom

Looked very clear

Whoever built this computer at arvutitark at rocca al mare keskus needs to be touched inappropriately @craggy cove

The fresh air from the front of the intake gets stealen into the psu compartment and then the exhaust fan steals air from the liquid cooler

3.8k computer btw

[quasi moat]

Looks awfully familiar

5.6 k computer btw

[craggy cove]

well they probably just kept the included fans and put a 360mm aio

doubt it will be bad in any way

but #fuckarvutitark still

no reason in particular

[ebon marlin]

Gayass

[north hill]

isn't that a contradictory statement?

it has RT cores...

[carmine yew]

yesno

[grizzled frost]

Has RT cores, and should actually be used with RT are two different things

[sinful cobalt]

ray tracing low sure

[carmine yew]

Can a 3070 execute RT Ops? Yep

But with 2 gen old cores, and only 8GB RAM, you're running into limitations on that shizz

[sinful cobalt]

i can say a 2050 has RT cores so it can raytrace

but should it?

[ebon marlin]

Don't diss my 2050

[carmine yew]

in 4K Ultra, yes 😛

[north hill]

2080-Ti FTW

[sinful cobalt]

lets diss his 2050 in path tracing 4K ultra

[flat cliff]

In some of the photos I can see the PSU mounted elsewhere and not tight above the CPU cooler and it gives an extra 2 fans. I'm trying to maximize my fans and have 4HDD mounts. Did I done goof or using just the files from maker world (he links his manual and website and may have more parts with the case if you buy) is there a way to have 2-3 120mm fans and mount 4 hard drives?

https://makerworld.com/models/1740435?appSharePlatform=copy

[gaunt spade]

ts frying me

[carmine yew]

I don't see where you're gonna put 4 HDD's and still put that many case fans in the box

rx what

[gaunt spade]

https://giphy.com/gifs/rainbow-drooling-frutiger-aero-k2lKPMAUEklWC1cgne

[carmine yew]

no, because that number doesn't exist

[gaunt spade]

theres no such thing as a rx 600

[flat cliff]

I think if you click the link yo his website he has photos and shows the PSU being moved to the back corner allowing for 2 fans at the top, and a fan where the PSU was. So that's a healthy 3 right there. I could then fit 2 hard drives on the bottom and 2 more on the side of the case.

Right now I only see space for 1 fan and I need more then that. I'm running close to the red line as is with this being PETG only.

Dam it, did I just spend weeks on this project and more then half the money of what a real case would cost just to not have this be usable?

[carmine yew]

I think you're being overly optimistic about what you can put in that case, and didn't do your due diligence first

[swift stream]

im really worried about my temps

[carmine yew]

I'll bite, because this ought to be funny....

Why the fuck are you worried about temps looking at a fan speed chart?

[swift stream]

im scared my pc is getting too cold 😔 🥱

[carmine yew]

the fuck?

[carmine yew]

are you adding liquid nitrogen or something?

spoiler:
You can't air cool something below room temperature, because physics says "That's illegal!"

i tried touching it and it didn't feel cold

[bold olive]

then move to somewhere warmer

preferably somewhere with high humidity

[grave raptor]

I can't believe Linus bought a jet

It feels weird given the slowing growth they've been at 120 employees for like 3 years now.

And they've talked about avoiding hiring so they don't have to lay people off.

Then they spend a shit ton on labs then the badminton center.

I guess upfront cost versus emotional cost of having to let someone go due to money.

[flat cliff]

To be fair I saw on maker wold up to 5 120mm fans and up to 4 HDDs and my brain said 5 120mm fans and 4 HDDs nice.

That's not how it works but did you go to the website he links in his description and also in even just some of the photos on maker world the PSU is mounted to the back corner and not above the CPU cooler somehow and that would give me more fan mounts. He also has a different bracket system for the hard drives as a part on the website if I paid for the files.

Idk I'm just hoping the more then half a price of a case and couple weeks I spent off and on on this isn't for not just because I saw up to...and my brain just said so I can fit both nice.

[shell sail]

This is so scummy 😔

[flat cliff]

Its only in PETG though unfortunately so I need to out fans where I can.

[shell sail]

Who makes an ATX type power supply like 5mm taller than a regular atx

[flat cliff]

I'll try it with just the one fan the creator of this is running much more powerful hardware but also I think he has more fans though.

[carmine yew]

You realize that you won't melt petg, right?

[sharp ivy]

That's the heater in the monitor

[shell sail]

PETG has a higher melting point than PLA
i used PETG in all of my internal plastic components-

[grizzled frost]

the concern is plastic deformation

[sharp ivy]

Yeeees

[grizzled frost]

but if your exhaust temps are 70c you have bigger problems

[carmine yew]

If the petg was against the boards, maybe.

But air Temps won't be that high

[grizzled frost]

even if it was against the boards, an HDD at 70c is a really unhappy HDD

[carmine yew]

100%

[kindred halo]

Repasted my CPU on the T470s

Actually a little fun tbh

[sharp ivy]

I need the monitor to work or else I can't use my computer ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[kindred halo]

Gave it MX-4, a good amount of it

Also wiped the fan with wipes

[carmine yew]

Go look at hp or dell non-gamer boxes.

They can run i7 or i9s, and have shit heatsink and airflow. People are obsessed with airflow in enthusiasts circles and need to relax

[kindred halo]

Aslong as there's like ANY way for air to enter or exit you'll be fine

A rear fan slot is enough anyway

The exhaust will force air to be pulled in through what little spaces there are

[carmine yew]

It's why people come in crying about thermals when parts hit 70c.

"Is my gpu gonna burn out? I think it's overheating!"

[kindred halo]

70° C is still in the good thermals range

Like, 15-20°C below where you should be suspicious

[kindred halo]

Oh btw, reminds me

I saw someone come in and ask if 50° C under load is going to make his PC burn 💔

[carmine yew]

It's insane what some people worry about

[sharp ivy]

I have however seen a lot of Dells with thermal issues

[kindred halo]

Tbh if they're uninformed, 50° C does sound high

[sharp ivy]

one desktop I worked on had a square cooler on a 12th gen cpu

from the factory

and the chip was overheating

I swapped on a Thermaltake Gravity i3 and it worked great

Can someone explain why reinstalling windows fixes my performance issues on CS?

[slender ridge]

I did nothing to my PC but power it off and now it does this and I am unable to power it back on. Tried reseating literally everything can't seem to figure out the issue. When it's on I have no problem this happens when I turned it off

[topaz shale]

looks like your cpu is overheating

[slender ridge]

When the PC is off?

This is happening after I hit shutdown

[topaz shale]

if the temp spikes immediately past 100c it will auto shut off as a safety mechanism

[topaz shale]

it doesnt even look like its posting

[swift stream]

this post was supposed to be ragebait, besides its extremly humid where I am anyways

[topaz shale]

otherwise that sounds like a windows issue

[slender ridge]

I'm not trying to turn it on as soon as I power it off it does this and becomes unresponsive to anything I do

[grizzled frost]

Looks like something is shorting

[topaz shale]

oh you arent powering it on yourself?

[slender ridge]

No

[sturdy niche]

Yeah thats gotta be a short

Did you build this computer yourself?

[grizzled frost]

open up the PC and find what connector has some pins that are touching metal

[sturdy niche]

If so, double check your mobo standoffs

[slender ridge]

All of the sudden out of nowhere? I built this a year ago never had any problems then about a month ago this started happening haven't touched the inside

[grizzled frost]

any case movement could cause a cable to settle

and by movement i even mean the vibrations of you sitting down and standing up from your desk

so as previously stated,

open up the PC and find what connector has some pins that are touching metal

[steep socket]

most likely a dead psu or psu cable tripping a protection mode thing

[grizzled frost]

The latter is far more likely

[slender ridge]

I will take a look then

[topaz shale]

a dead cable is far more likely?

[steep socket]

try replace all cables

[grizzled frost]

A caple with exposed pins is far more likely

[sturdy niche]

Try putting it in rice atp

[steep socket]

thee are a lot more cables than psus

[grizzled frost]

Entirely unnecessary, just find what cable has some pins that are freeballing

[steep socket]

howtobasic welcome home

[steep socket]

yeah fair, but if the cables are from the same set it wouldnt hurt to replace all of them

[topaz shale]

not a mac mini but you get a top of the line mac pro for $300

top of the line only a decade ago

[vital gyro]

It probably still works great for lighter productivity (as long as you use OpenCore Legacy Patcher or Windows)

$300 is very expensive for one of those. An M1 MacBook Air can be found at the same price on eBay.

That CPU performs about the same as an i7-7700K iirc.

[grizzled frost]

time to make a cluster out of them

[vital gyro]

You can get them for like $200-250 on eBay if you look hard enough.

[flat cliff]

For PCs and internal temps when its a metal box its fine unless its one of those glass ones that actually have no holes like for real and even then only if it has really nice components.

But for me who doesn't have a metal box and instead has a plastic box that not melt per say but does have its own problems with heat warping I do gotta worry.

I can't fit all the fans I want to fit for my case and being PETG I am a little hitting close to the red line here. Any reason I can't just use some zip ties to rout from the other side of the case? The hard drive mounts and PSU take up where the fans go. So yeah some level of obstructions but some gotta be better then nothing?

Also the 1 internal case fan I'm gonna have, actually in the case if I don't try and diy a way to fit more, what orientation do I do? Its gonna be right next to the CPU and PSU at the top of the case (PSU on top of CPU cooler facing out towards the side panel)

[grizzled frost]

you really need to just start trying things

there’s no one here who actually has any experience with your 3d printed case, so none of us really have any idea how to actually help you

Making a software change like this shouldn't (by definition) brick hardware... Hardware has safeguards in place. Just because the device won't boot after these changes does not mean it's a brick. CMOS reset, boot, wait for memory training because AMD be designed poorly like that. Bango-presto, your device is not (by definition) bricked...

Well it feels like it’s brickt 😂

• 3 months later: paper launch of 5 more laptops that have them
• 9 months later: you can actually start buying the 3 laptops that paper launched on announce day
• 15 months later: you can buy other laptops with those CPUs

[ivory mountain]

[supple gulch]

[ivory mountain]

thunar (the linux filemanager) wouldnt transfer ANY iso files over to my ventoy so i was looking for solutions for hours because windows creation tool doesnt work on linux even with wine

it said it transfered but all it did was corrupt all the shit going onto my USB

[ebon marlin]

[iron glen]

one day

[vestal stream]

i overclocked my memory and ran a memtest on it which came back with zero errors. though while playing cs2 it just randomly crashes. any ideas why?

[ivory mountain]

how long did u run memtest

[vestal stream]

2 cycles

[ivory mountain]

most ppl do overnight at least

is it bsoding or is the game just closing

[vestal stream]

just closing

[ivory mountain]

i dont think thats a ram issue then

[vestal stream]

tbf i undervolted the cpu as well. tho i went back and turned off the undervolt just to see if it made a diffrence, still crashed

[frail sequoia]

@ebon marlin the laptop has been completed

Batocera 42 on the 1tb nvme and windows 10 on the 256gb nvme

[ivory mountain]

batocera mentioned

[vestal stream]

3800mhz cl18 on 1.3v isnt that high of an oc i mean come on ram

[frail sequoia]

Yeah cause its good for emulation

[ebon marlin]

https://tenor.com/view/israel-human-wtf-is-going-on-gif-7135535314728178694

[frail sequoia]

Well its the only os ik that's good for emulation

[ebon marlin]

Most performative game aswell

[broken perch]

So, with ram prices supposedly "dropping" soon, who wants the bet all prices across the board are going to stay super high due to corporate greed now?

[sleek remnant]

i might need to update bios in case

[ebon marlin]

Played that shit at work with original hardware it's so buns

[vestal stream]

Nvm just got a ram error on memtest. OC is unstable

[ivory mountain]

lol damn

[ivory mountain]

i just use playnite and setup all my games there, emulator setup is pretty easy

although its just a windows app not an OS itself

[terse pewter]

You should hate everyone equally do you don't discriminate

[ebon marlin]

Goyim are simply not comparable to us

[terse pewter]

[ivory mountain]

Hate is a strong word

[ivory mountain]

[hexed tapir]

Very tempting to give belly rub

[terse pewter]

[terse pewter]

[terse pewter]

[gaunt spade]

israeli is the highest tech

[ebon marlin]

Just say that ur antisemitic

[gaunt spade]

antisanitary

[terse pewter]

not a nice thing to put such terms on others dont you think?

[gaunt spade]

man i wish i lived in a house i can hear my neighbours play fifa

[frail sequoia]

I get a stable 60 fps on batocera with 1440p ps2 emulation but on windows 10 its only 40-50fps

[ivory mountain]

emulation has always been better for me on linux but i care more about playing fortnite so im on windows 11

[gaunt spade]

emulation my beloved

[frail sequoia]

Well on nfs mw

[gaunt spade]

fortnute tung tung tung sahur

[frail sequoia]

I have windows 11 on my pc and windows 10 + batocera on my thinkpad

[ivory mountain]

i saw that fuckass skin

[gaunt spade]

sahuuuur

[ivory mountain]

i was trying hyprland then realized its not for me + its clearly better for single-screen setups

[frail sequoia]

Batocera has no desktop enviroment

Just the menu and a file explorer

brousin

7800xt nitro lookin real good tbh

but nvidia has framegen

[ebon marlin]

So does AMD but it's lowkenuinly buns

[ivory mountain]

i use it on cyberpunk to hit 240fps but i already have 170 base

[ebon marlin]

Also if you buy Nvidia you also support the great state of Israel

[hexed tapir]

Officially stuck on fsr3 👎

[ebon marlin]

170 to 240 from framegen is so ass

Framegens purpose is to literally double ur fps lol

[ivory mountain]

i would use optiscaler but im too lazy to manually configure it for each game and im not using a vibecoded shitclient 🥀

[gaunt spade]

yea stupid amd

[coarse sleet]

Just finished V2 of the mod I talked about earlier

[gaunt spade]

thats not portable anymore

[gaunt spade]

real

[coarse sleet]

It’s actually not to much heavier

[ebon marlin]

Making the Rog Ally worse than it already is

[gaunt spade]

which gpu do i buy then

[hexed tapir]

How much added weight

[coarse sleet]

Still feels fine holding it

[ebon marlin]

Used 4070

[gaunt spade]

thats nvidia tho

[hexed tapir]

So

[ebon marlin]

Or 4070 Super

[gaunt spade]

.

[hexed tapir]

It's used Nvidia gets no money

[ebon marlin]

Unfortunately yeah

[gaunt spade]

4070 is more expensive than a 6900xt

[coarse sleet]

Temps are about the same as V1 but this is a bit more durable and angles the thing better on a desk

[hexed tapir]

Rx 9070/9060xt if no Nvidia

[gaunt spade]

9070xt is the best price to performance if on sale

but thats alot of money for a gpu

[hexed tapir]

Got mine for $610

[gaunt spade]

yea i would be buyng for 4300 on sale thats 625 usd

[ivory mountain]

i probably wont buy amd for a while after they didnt give fsr4 officially to the people who bought a $1000 card a year prior

[hexed tapir]

What country you in

[gaunt spade]

georgia

[hexed tapir]

Oh

[ivory mountain]

yet dlss 4 is on all rtx cards

[hexed tapir]

But that's a state

[hexed tapir]

Even for weak cards that shouldn't use it depending on the game yet Nvidia did a cool thing and gave it out to them

Then we have amd ..

[gaunt spade]

yea fuck 7900xtx users

i had one 🥀🥀

[ivory mountain]

amd's bad driver propaganda is making itself true again too lol

[gaunt spade]

amd has terrible drivers

and nvidia app ease of use

[hexed tapir]

Official fsr4 support on the steam deck would be super cool

[gaunt spade]

but its amd

9060xt is really good but for that price i can get a 3080 or even a ti or a 6900xt

[tidal geyser]

🙁

[hexed tapir]

I really wouldn't buy amd unless it's current gen

[tidal geyser]

but yea amd not great

[tidal geyser]

shrimply use linux, well even there it can have issues but most i see are due to hardware failure

[hexed tapir]

So many games need Upscaling and fsr3 pretty stinky

[ivory mountain]

but fortnite

[tidal geyser]

tbh on my 258v iv been able to play anything a bit older without too many issues and anything modern with some XESS added in just fine

even arc raiders 2 year old XESS looks pretty good even on a 35"

[limpid ivy]

Surprised I have yet to try fsr on my gpu. But otherwise the games I got don't really need it.

[tidal geyser]

i sent in a support ticket asking for XESS 3 :3

[ebon marlin]

Why not xess override does that not exist

[hexed tapir]

Buy and play the new borderlands then you will xD

[limpid ivy]

[tidal geyser]

its a multiplayer game?

[gaunt spade]

i like xess in some games better than fsr

[tidal geyser]

well XESS is better

[ebon marlin]

Yeah? I use DLSS Override in all games including multiplayer ones like Tarkov

[limpid ivy]

My friends be making me buy games, only to play them once in a while as a group.

[gaunt spade]

tarkov gamer

[tidal geyser]

they either do not apply or worst case get you banned

[ebon marlin]

It doesn't work like that

[ebon marlin]

4k hours sigma

[tidal geyser]

also yes i tried manually swapping the xess files but that just gave me a file violation error

[hexed tapir]

As long as it's under $10 idc but when it's expensive games we only play a few times....

[ebon marlin]

Look up tutorial homoboy

[limpid ivy]

Tru some of the friendslop games my group plays ended up being worth it.

[tidal geyser]

wat

[gaunt spade]

ew friendslop

[tidal geyser]

i am the tutorial

[gaunt spade]

worst thing over the years

[ebon marlin]

Look up tutorial homoboy

[gaunt spade]

i looked up now what

[limpid ivy]

Peak, Repo, Lethal pretty much the only 3 that my group has heavily modded.

[ebon marlin]

Good boy

[gaunt spade]

all friendslop

rv game too

[limpid ivy]

I just goof off while playing and screw everyone over for the fun of it

[ebon marlin]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-silly-silly-cat-cat-silly-eepy-gif-15876057077584528993

[gaunt spade]

[hexed tapir]

The moaning horn mod is the best one for lethal company

[gaunt spade]

all trash games friendslop

[gaunt spade]

is it doe

[limpid ivy]

Content Warning, yea that thing died.

[gaunt spade]

all those games i despise

[limpid ivy]

I think that one is part of the mod pack I have. The recent public beta has been interesting, but not gonna be fun going through the mod pack once it releases.

[ivory mountain]

cant even press shift inr oblox anymore

[gaunt spade]

why is it making u buy 500 robux for a 2 robux item

[ivory mountain]

cuz roblox dumb

[gaunt spade]

thats the lowest official one i think

[ivory mountain]

oh rly

[gaunt spade]

yea ive bought 40

[ivory mountain]

i thought it was 80

[gaunt spade]

it was 80 before

[ivory mountain]

havent gamed on a mobile device in years

[gaunt spade]

[ivory mountain]
