And flakiness while using the wireless dongle.

[boreal vine]

my matrix corsa and transition lite has these "aluminum skeleton" plate

[snow mauve]

what was that startup with the super expensive super niche eclectic modular keyboard setup?

like every piece was customizable, it was around $999

[boreal vine]

is it worklouder or something?

or everest max

[snow mauve]

ugh i cant remember but i'd recognize it if i saw it heh

i only remember it as a kick starter a couple years back

i just know i wanwted it

[boreal vine]

was it this tmice x?

[limpid ivy]

Like the one with the solenoid?

[snow mauve]

right direction but no

[limpid ivy]

oh nvm

[snow mauve]

this let you modularly swap out major components and was much more nerdy

that is cool but, just not right lol, i gotta find it now

[boreal vine]

not sure which one tbf

[snow mauve]

also apparently everybody wants this Severence Keyboard

not sure if i love or hate it

[boreal vine]

there was a gb for the keycaps

https://spkeyboards.com/products/sa-macrodata-refinement

[snow mauve]

close enough for the feel lol. considering the 'package' is expensive

http://fluxkeyboard.com this may have been it

swap out entire key frames

[gaunt spade]

@ebon marlin

did they remove the burgerking cat ai vid

i cant find it anymore

[ionic atlas]

dell used to do pretty good membrane keyboard before the whole flat era.

[boreal vine]

https://finalmouse.com/products/centerpiece-pro finalmouse did something similar

[latent gull]

Cheaper than I thought it’d be

[boreal vine]

fuck

my electric screwdriver just died on me

[ionic atlas]

this era dell oem keyboard had good tactility. was very popular within LAN parties and counter-strike players i remember

[boreal vine]

thankfully I have my old xiaomi one

[boreal vine]

these were shit, my boss used the same board

[formal sonnet]

That second Dell keyboard was peak for playing Frets on Fire back in the day. (If you didn't have an official Guitar Hero / Rockband USB guitar.)

[boreal vine]

I want to throw them out of the window

atleast mention the absolute gigachad HP Standard 104

[ionic atlas]

only to hit that issue of you couldn't press all key at same time if u had a USB one^

[ionic atlas]

this was the actual garbatge

[boreal vine]

now this, this is THE board

[ionic atlas]

that was in same era gen as this garbage which came before the dell i posted above

[boreal vine]

you call that dell POS great, argument invalid immediately

[limpid ivy]

Dell 👀

[snow mauve]

lol man you're gonna give me ptsd

i used to run an IT shop for a 500+ employee federal agency

we had so much inventory of that stuff

remember those super heavy 21 inch crts?

[ionic atlas]

i do have several of these keyboards tho, but in ISO. better than both those hp and dell

[snow mauve]

give yourself a hernia

my first pc

oof, i had a tandy monitor?

[ionic atlas]

never used a tandy, but at least seems like u got a good keyboard in that shot

[snow mauve]

bro has 3d printed save icons in his pc

[snow mauve]

my parents thought i would somehow spark off a Wargames scenario they were so clueless

this was a great era for learning, back then the gov had DRMO which was basically a thrift store to the public of older military stuff. if you had the right licenses you could buy things like deommissioned tanks and apcs and stuff. so this was prior gov computer i got as a young teen

[ionic atlas]

my dad used to work at a big repair ibm computer center and was a microsoft tech, so that's how we got cheap ibm pcs as a kid, tho most my friends didn't get pc until windows 95 era

[snow mauve]

rawr

did you know anybody with ac ommodore? 😄 i only knew one kid with one

[ionic atlas]

tho i remember falling asleep while dad was installing windows 95 from floppies on my pc

[snow mauve]

i dont think i recall a pc being a regular thing in the home really until later 90s yeah

[ionic atlas]

yeah and then you could go to the interwebs and print out cheat codes and be the cool kid in school (even tho your parents said you werent allowed to use the internet )

[boreal vine]

Remind me to never buy a product called galacok 😭

[rigid fjord]

can you name the cpu inside it from memory?

[boreal vine]

[rigid fjord]

my dad still has his commodore 64

zx spectrum and zx spectrum2 also

[snow mauve]

386dx2-66

[rigid fjord]

so just a 386 inside it?

[snow mauve]

yep, but actually it was a better family than my familys packard bell 486dx2-66. it was a 386-dx4 something actually

it had a 'math co' and i was excited

[rigid fjord]

387 is the maths co-processor

[snow mauve]

a few short years later i got the cyrix 586

before all that debaucle

and then you had all the modem wars, x2/kflex

[rigid fjord]

my first pc to play on, was a bbc pc

[snow mauve]

refresh? when i think of BBC in personal listings, i think of something diff

[snow mauve]

oh boy

600 page user guide, check

[tired bear]

tv advertising remote control is so funny

[abstract wigeon]

scary stuff, been watching a few videos on tiktok (and only tiktok) on ksp, then i open youtube mobile for the first time in over a week and now it’s full of ksp videos

[rigid fjord]

though, i've used an old 286 with 287 maths co processor, 386, 386 with 387 maths co processor, an acorn pc, atari 256 (still have this up in the loft at my parents)

[balmy tapir]

crts are peak

dragged my 19" to a LAN yesterday and it's always a blast

[empty quartz]

Plasma >

[snow mauve]

dont touch that flyback transformer though

that and microwaves kill more techs than anything

[tidal geyser]

oled

[balmy tapir]

is that true? most techs are probably informed of the hazard i'd imagine.

[balmy tapir]

were there ever desktop plasma monitors?

[latent gull]

We don’t know the same techs

[balmy tapir]

fair enough lol

[latent gull]

Most the ones I know go “let’s see what makes this thing tick” and figure it out along the way

Cmon it’s just a tv what’s the worst that could happen

[blazing oracle]

Which atx 850w PSU should i go for, lot of people recommended me the RM850x, is there any better option which is plat certified?

[rigid fjord]

really no need for platinum efficiency psu's, doesn't make them better, and an rm850x is a really good psu to go for

[rigid fjord]

kaboom

[left dove]

dude im losing my MIND rn

[latent gull]

noooooo, just a tv, nothing bad could happen from poking around with tech

[eternal cloak]

What page is this

[left dove]

https://www.nasa.gov/missions/artemis-ii/arow/

the same thing they're showing on the broadcast & they have it up on the big display in mission control

the red dots are previous apollo missions

white dot in the blue line is the closest point of orion and the moon

[rigid fjord]

then you've not seen a crt or even plasma tv go boom

[eternal cloak]

Oh that's sick

[left dove]

theres about another 1000 miles to the closest point, probably a little over an hour

[south arrow]

All going good?

[left dove]

mmhm!

They're doing the photography and human-eye reporting on ground structures rn

v descriptive

and on the side I've been looking at the moon's planetary history

[eternal cloak]

We're not past the worst possibility yet, but so far it's looking very good

[left dove]

literally been tracking this whole mission since launch

[robust minnow]

gulp

[left dove]

I got a MANNED MOON MISSION in my fuggin BIRTHDAY MONTH

for my 30th!!

💅

Literally peaking rn

[eternal cloak]

Cool

[south arrow]

Watchaaa doinnn?

[left dove]

jankery

[robust minnow]

My sff PC side panel wouldn't go back on cause of the tower cooler soo

[left dove]

900 miles to go!!

we're already past the first distance projections before launch

[south arrow]

We do what we must lol

[left dove]

Such a cool fuckin' trajetory too

[rigid fjord]

list of nasa manned missions since i've been born @left dove

[robust minnow]

I wanna switch to the big Dell psu I have so I can add a full sized gpu but also I wanted to try something really jank with a Xbox one s power supply

[left dove]

What a time to be alive

[south arrow]

If they can do it all right will be hypes, I dont have the gall

I can do alot but not that

[snow mauve]

i remember coming back from school just to see the challenger explosion

all eyes glued to the tv

[left dove]

I remember columbia

[snow mauve]

people collecting pieces too heh

[left dove]

Thaaats kinda sad

[rigid fjord]

i remember when they had to replace the camera on the hubble telescope because it ended up with an issue

[snow mauve]

yea and risk too, careful who you tell somebody m ay get a knock at the door lol

[snow mauve]

i have a tin foil hat theory on the real reason for that but maybe a rabbit hole for another day

[left dove]

only roughly 38% of columbia was recovered

[snow mauve]

most debris went down over texas right?

[rigid fjord]

16.8 megapixel camera on the hubble, and it could pick up an ant moving on the floor if needs be

[left dove]

its wild

i love space

[rigid fjord]

primarily the issue was the mirror and how it was polished

[snow mauve]

no, that's the bs theory they gave us knowing nobody could/would contest. it had to do with scrubbing the only remaining physical footage of something that had been scrubbed elsewhere

they endangered lives to scrub it too

[left dove]

Uh huh..

[snow mauve]

😄

i'll let you surmise on what i think they scrubbed

but, people ahve been killed for way less that's for sure

[snow mauve]

i thought you were gonna do a dlss meme 😄

show thanos or something

[rigid fjord]

left side is hubble, right side is james webb

[snow mauve]

pillars of creation is one of the coolest things ever in the cosmos imho

i'

i'm interested to see if this sungrazer comet that's en route will survive the trip on the flyby. we're talking .05 AU from the sun. if so, it will absorb a ton of energy and supposedly would not only outshine venus, but the moon. can you imagine that an event that would be? and that many folks would interpret it as a sign of something

c2026 a1maps

[rigid fjord]

crab nebula

[snow mauve]

another classic.

what do you think about Betelgeuse ? from a cosmic scale its about to burst. everybody is waiting. it would be a close shot of the mechanics of a supernova. we've detected a few here and there but mostly after the fact

curious if it'll set off LIGO

[eternal cloak]

Always fascinating especially given the pillars of creation don't even exist anymore

[snow mauve]

or it exists as something dramatically different now

[tired bear]

still has astigmatism huh

[tired bear]

in 1k years we will be able to see the destruction

[sonic hemlock]

Hello does anyone have a good knowledge with monitors can help me pick one out ?

Am I in the right channel ?

[south arrow]

Whats your budget and open box/used or nah?

[snow mauve]

one thing i will say, if you opt for bigger ones, don't under estimate the heat they give off

[sonic hemlock]

I am actually pretty limited to a certain website where I received a voucher and need to buy from it. I am a casual gamer (I have gtx 1660 Super OC) so definetely nothing 4k and limited to FHD, also I have somewhat limited space so 22 - 27 are good enough for me. I need the inputs to be HDMI + DP as I need to switch between my work PC and my gaming pc. Like I said I am not a big gamer (my current main monitor is 60 Hz + 22.5) so anything is an improvement but what is the best for the buck here : https://spacenet.tn/388-ecran-gamer-tunisie?prix=209-352 I am limited to 350 TND

[rustic lynx]

80 degrees fine for a GPU at 100% load?

[sonic hemlock]

Thank you very much btw sorry for being a Pain :/

[sonic hemlock]

Yes I believe so

[rustic lynx]

Oh wait it's going up still

83

[solar moat]

super nova

[rustic lynx]

GPU at 83 degrees at 100% load uhh

I think I made my fans spin a bit too slow

[gaunt spade]

what gpu

[rustic lynx]

3080

[rustic lynx]

3080 are hot from what I heard

[gaunt spade]

what fan speed

[rustic lynx]

Everything 30%

[gaunt spade]

3080s are hot but 80 is still high 83

30 is low on the fan

[empty quartz]

Don’t you guys love when you somehow have an appointment with a psychiatrist when you know for a fact you and no family members made one :D

[rustic lynx]

I want my pc quiet but like the GPU hits 83 at 100% load so it's bad right?

I should put it at 40-50?

Lemme test at 50

[empty quartz]

Not bad at all

[rustic lynx]

81 at 50%

80

[empty quartz]

The 3080 can handle up to 100c

[rustic lynx]

No it cannot

[empty quartz]

Yes it can

[rustic lynx]

It's at 78-80 rn

So 83 is fine guys? It's the limit for the GPU then it starts throttling

I have it set like fhat

[empty quartz]

100c is the thermal junction max

[gaunt spade]

i wouldnt buy a card that hits 80c

[stray portal]

What kind of cooling do you even have. My 7800xt gets like 71°C at idk some high usage close to 100

[gaunt spade]

7000 series is cool

but my 3080 hit 71c on like 40fanspeed and it was a shitty colorful model

[empty quartz]

You shouldn’t be giving poor advice

[rustic lynx]

I got 8 Chinese loud asf fans set to 30% and GPU fans at 50% rn. 79-80 degrees GPU and CPU 71° At 40%... Alr 30% is too low

[gaunt spade]

this wasnt advice

[rustic lynx]

CPU at 70° at 40% omg that bad

[empty quartz]

So its misinformation

[empty quartz]

No the fuck its not

[stray portal]

My cpu hits 0° when i smash it into pieces omg thsts bad

[rustic lynx]

You guys say that 83° is alr for GPU?

[solar moat]

same for cpus?

[rustic lynx]

Hotspot prob at like 90 let me check it out rq

[empty quartz]

Im one of the resident overclockers here

[solar moat]

just set temp limit to 75C problem solved

[gaunt spade]

yea a cooler which hits 80c

i wouldnt buy or keep

[gaunt spade]

fan go brrr

[solar moat]

ok? lower fan speed then

[rustic lynx]

My nvme is at 66° is that alr?

[empty quartz]

That is not

[gaunt spade]

then temps go up

[solar moat]

thats what temp limit is for

[empty quartz]

Nvme’s are far more temperature sensitive than cpu’s and gpu’s

[gaunt spade]

what is going on in ur system

[rustic lynx]

Idk

I put on a heatsink onto that nvme today...

I think I did it incorrectly

Bro how I did everything correctly I'm pretty sure

[empty quartz]

Did you take off the tape for the thermal pad

[left dove]

Aaaand loss of signal

(That little sliver to the right is us!!)

[rustic lynx]

Yes

[empty quartz]

Is it a gen 5 ssd?

[rustic lynx]

4 gen

[empty quartz]

Just get a larger heatsink

[rustic lynx]

or i installed it incorrectly

[empty quartz]

Its pretty hard to fuck up installing a heatsink

[rustic lynx]

I MISSED THE SIGNAL LOSS NOOO

[stray portal]

Nvme heatsinks are useless you only need the one that comes with mobo

[empty quartz]

My micron 2300 would beg to differ

[left dove]

Fun telemetry!

[rustic lynx]

how did the signal loss look like? anything fancy or just boom nothing?

[left dove]

They use s-band radio for their uplink as well as point-to-point laser comms

[rustic lynx]

I MISSED IT CUZ I WAS TEXTING

[left dove]

its a digital signal, it just drops

[stray portal]

Oh no my shitposts are overheating

[rustic lynx]

GPU hotspot at 88 when 100% load

fine?

[gaunt spade]

what program

[empty quartz]

Yes

[left dove]

yes

[empty quartz]

@rustic lynx Rico is just a kid who worries too much

[rustic lynx]

what program to monitor or to get the gpu to 100?

[gaunt spade]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/381193783296917507/1484548937498103828/image0.gif

[left dove]

why

[stray portal]

Use built in nvidia thing

[empty quartz]

You can ignore rico

[rustic lynx]

HWinfo and minecraft at 64 chunks and heavy shaders

[left dove]

stop trying to cook your stuff dude

[gaunt spade]

100% use not 100c

[empty quartz]

You dont want your gpu at 100c

[gaunt spade]

usage*

[stray portal]

Yooo why is he saying that 🥺 😳

[rustic lynx]

no shit

[empty quartz]

97c is the maximum safe limit for your gpu and cpu

[stray portal]

When the king speaks you listen ahh cat

[gaunt spade]

ltt chat bot can kill itself

[rustic lynx]

if 80 degrees at 100% load and 88 for hotspot is fine then im putting fans at 30% and getting 83/90

that nvme worries me tho

[gritty panther]

I repasted my 4090 last week. temps was actually pretty similar. surprised 3+ year old paste was still good. nice

[stray portal]

Are you playing on a literal toaster

[gritty panther]

i did clean off a lot of old dust bunnies so it's worth it

[empty quartz]

Yeah, it should be fine, but if it hits 70c you might want to have backups, ssd’s when they hit their thermal limit tend to have a lower lifespan

[rustic lynx]

yes

[gaunt spade]

4090 is already 3 years old crazy work

[gritty panther]

4 years in october

[stray portal]

I have 3 intake fans and 1 exhaust fan and i have an air cooler and i have 2 fan gpu i get amazing air flows

my 3080 was abused for like 5 years cuz it was mined and is still holding 😋

[empty quartz]

3 years* im stealing it in august :3

[rustic lynx]

no it wasnt acc mined on just abused

what if i set the fans to 0% hmm

[gritty panther]

not on my birthday /j

[empty quartz]

If you think mining is abused, you havent seen my old gpu

[rustic lynx]

you dont know what my GT1030 survived

[gritty panther]

Im honestly ready to move on from the 4090

but the world is kinda fkd.

[stray portal]

My pc is 1 a half years old and i think he is kinda sad from how many os changes i went through

[rustic lynx]

trade me it for my 3080

[empty quartz]

My r9 290’s vram died from severe abuse from heavy overclocking

[gritty panther]

wish the 6090 is $1500 but that aint happening

[stray portal]

YOU are messed up 🤬🤬🤬😡😡😡

[empty quartz]

Its gonna triple in price

[rustic lynx]

oh ye btw my 3080 is slightly overclocked

[gritty panther]

4090 was supposed to be an e-peen purchase

[stray portal]

Something so good is supposed to last for a long while, you arent supposed to upgrade so often

[gritty panther]

didnt actually think that would be the last "resonably priced" flagship

this is nuts.

[empty quartz]

I used to be top 4 on hwbot for 3dmark firestrike gpu on the r9 290

[stray portal]

If i had a 4090 i would keep it like forever

[rustic lynx]

alr guys im gonna set the fans to 0% and test them

[empty quartz]

Keep an eye out for technics speakers, yamaha, psb, and jbl

[solar moat]

who think the new 400 cpus are good?

[sharp ivy]

older audio stuff from known brands is very good value for money secondhand

[rustic lynx]

Why not pebbles V3?

[empty quartz]

Psb typically makes passive speakers (passive means they need an amp/receiver)

[rustic lynx]

Too big

I don't got a whole fuhing desk for speakers

[gaunt spade]

are steelseries headphones any good

[sharp ivy]

I have a pair of Edifier R10s I got for $7.99 CAD that are fantastic

[rustic lynx]

Okay I'm getting pebbles I hope yo ass didn't recommend me some shit

some people cant stand em. they're not for everyone

[latent gull]

most goodwills do not look like this

[gritty panther]

but very cheap tho and audio quality is excelletn for the money

[rustic lynx]

Yo @empty quartz what about sound bars?

My nvme is at 74°

[gaunt spade]

awww ur cat is so cute

[gritty panther]

I put a 4TB 990 Pro inside my ROG Ally z1e it was burning to 100c. I tried 3 heatsinks. finally was happy with the third one

[gaunt spade]

shalom kitty

[gritty panther]

it was a Gelid heatsink that includes the thermal pad

[north hill]

do blower cards with vapor chambers usually run cooler than blowers without one?

[gaunt spade]

boiling ssd

[rustic lynx]

Nah but fr my nvme is sitting at 66 with a heatsink from my old 980

[gritty panther]

not like your momma /j

[rustic lynx]

I mean I still use the 980 as my system drive

Handhelds are so cool

[gritty panther]

gen4 drives get hot. gen5 drives are even worse

[gaunt spade]

bros calling me poor cuz i aint got gen 4

[rustic lynx]

Gen 6 get even hotter

But I'm hotter than gen 6

[gaunt spade]

gen 67

[rustic lynx]

I'm the hottest

[azure topaz]

used food

[gritty panther]

my 74wh battery mod on the ROG ally hits 1 year this month

[gaunt spade]

cute drawing

[gritty panther]

time flies lol

[gaunt spade]

stupid cat tho

[azure topaz]

fucking idiot cat

[gaunt spade]

rog ally is genuine trash

[gritty panther]

battery is a year old next week. I was nervous for the first 2-3 months lol

does it make it thicker?

I havent been updated lately. last time i checked you had to 3d print a customc ase

[gaunt spade]

rog ally DOOKIE CONSOLEEE

[gritty panther]

I put the 4TB 990 Pro in there it was only 199.99

last time I checked it's now $750

[gaunt spade]

rog ally cant run 4tb worth of games

[gritty panther]

it's gonna be 3 years in 2 months. ive dropped it bad once. so far so good 😄

[left crag]

Hello what LGA2011-3 CPU should I get?

And any chinese motherboards you would recommend?

[tidal geyser]

oh a rog ally can do a lot more than you think

[left crag]

Budget is about 85€ + ddr4 ram

[tidal geyser]

the z1 or z1e?

[tidal geyser]

non

[gritty panther]

I bought LeGo too but I returned it

[left crag]

Why

[gritty panther]

I didnt like it 😄

[gaunt spade]

i have one it cant do shit

[gritty panther]

I decided to keep ROG ally instead.

[tidal geyser]

what do you need it to do

[gaunt spade]

on foenems soul

[left crag]

Have better performance than xeon x3450

[gaunt spade]

rog ally in the bin emmidietly

im waiting for legion go 3

[gritty panther]

screen is huge. speakers are trash.

speakers are beyond trash though. pretty disapointing for such a huge device

I decided to return it. nothing against LeGo owners.

speakers are shit 😄 no excuses

[gaunt spade]

how much did u pay

[gritty panther]

I think it's a Speaker not speakers. that's why it's so bad

[gaunt spade]

😔 i wish ihad one

[gritty panther]

this was a cool feature though. tablet mode 😄

[tidal geyser]

ngl i think a i3 n305 would send that cpu packing at like 1/5th the power use

[gritty panther]

my bad. it's just shit stereo speakers.

[gaunt spade]

btw can you use two separate controllers as seperate for switch emulation

[empty quartz]

How much storage?

[gritty panther]

I put a 4TB 990 Pro in there 2+ years ago

[empty quartz]

Fucker

[gritty panther]

it was 199.99 back then.

[north hill]

how does this airflow pattern look? (front fans are most likely way larger)

[empty quartz]

I almost bought a 4tb for my ally, but i decided that i was overkill, i regret getting the 2tb

[gritty panther]

if only I knew. I would've bought 10+ 4TB ssd's 2-3 years ago

[empty quartz]

Not how that would actually work, but good attempt

[gritty panther]

omg prices now are insanely bad

[tidal geyser]

is the gpu a blower?

[empty quartz]

My ally’s ssd is pretty much 6x the price i paid last year

[gritty panther]

2TB is enough lol

[gritty panther]

4TB 990 Pro is $750. we're so screwed

[rigid fjord]

like a normal airflow setup

[empty quartz]

My 2tb nv3 is 600 cad or so

[gritty panther]

I thought we'd have 8TB gen5 drives for 199.99 by now

[north hill]

yorp

[gritty panther]

I was so wrong lol

[gaunt spade]

i want a lenovo legion or onexplayer mini laptop style which has a better cpu and a kb

[north hill]

it'll most likely end up being a Gigabte GeForce RTX 2080-Ti Turbo OC (which is a blower)

[tidal geyser]

most of the air gonna be going there

[gritty panther]

2TB drives used to be so cheap

[north hill]

so the CPU might fry itself?

[gaunt spade]

witha kb or what?

[gritty panther]

man I dont like this multiverse. can we switch to another less fucked up one

[tidal geyser]

if its too hot yea

[north hill]

the case can hold 2 120mm top fans

[latent gull]

No, most donated food goes to local soup kitchens AFAIK, most goodwills do not look like that :p

[empty quartz]

Except for kingston

[rigid fjord]

i hope you're good friends with your neighbour's, you'd need to sell their kidneys to afford them

[north hill]

hell, i may FILL the thing with fans

just to give that damn blower a shot

[gritty panther]

I was so mad when I bought my 4TB SN850x at best buy for $230 3 yearsa go. fkkk not $200 this is too much money.

[north hill]

noise is no problem for me

[rigid fjord]

that would be set as exhaust if on the top not as intake

[north hill]

could still be intake, couldn't it?

[gaunt spade]

should i wait for new revision

[rigid fjord]

nope, top is always exhaust

[left crag]

Is this motherboard good

[north hill]

so how should the CPU be cooled?

[gaunt spade]

looks ok

[forest lotus]

Weird. My PCI card that I use for out of band management has better latency than my PCIe cards

[north hill]

or actually, what should the fan placement be?

[grizzled frost]

front/bottom/side intake, top/back exhaust

[rigid fjord]

via cpu cooler

[north hill]

the blower will probably suck all of that air up

could probably make a shroud that connects to the side vent

[grizzled frost]

entirely unnecessary

[rigid fjord]

side is the only one you can really flip between intake or exhaust depending on the case

[gritty panther]

@empty quartz but seriously the Ally is one of my favorite purchases ever. it's been almost 3 years. I still cant put the fker down

[north hill]

the case is the Cooler Master N400 which has a metal side panel with a fan mount

[gritty panther]

I have deck oled and switch 2 too. I dont really use the other two that much lately.

[north hill]

the vent is like right below the graphics card i believe

[rigid fjord]

this is generally the airflow you want in a case as standard

[gaunt spade]

switch 2 is so dookie

[north hill]

it also has two 5.25" and one 3.5" bays lol

oh yeah, it has fans on the other side

[grizzled frost]

those sides should be intake

[north hill]

none on the bottom iirc

[north hill]

guess i'll get a bunch of fans for it

too much is a thing, right?

[gaunt spade]

https://giphy.com/gifs/art-cat-fat-Sg2qpeYDnn3BC

[north hill]

motherboards only have so many connections

[grizzled frost]

fan splitter

[north hill]

makes sense...

[rustic lynx]

What do you guys say about CREATIVE Pebble Plus 2.1?

[rigid fjord]

in my system, though this is an older pic, you can see tht the front is intake and top/rear are exhaust @north hill

also yes, fan splitter/hub or use fans that daisy chain @north hill

[grizzled frost]

looks like your average solidly mediocre desk speakers

[north hill]

imma bet that this will probably be one of the loudest desktops of 2026

[rigid fjord]

not if you do a decent fan curve

[grizzled frost]

more fans is usually more quiet

usually

[rigid fjord]

especially with a good fan curve

[gritty panther]

tune your fans please

800-1000rpm is usually enough

[gaunt spade]

what if i just stack fans ontop of eachother and next to eachother what will happen

[gritty panther]

I cant stand loud computers. they make me sick

even the mac mini is whisper quiet in 2026.

[north hill]

my laptop is already a jet engine, it'll be fine

[rigid fjord]

depends on the fan, i mean you can get fans that do 3000+ rpm and are whisper quiet at 1500-2000 rpm

[gritty panther]

just get arctic fans. don't be idiots

they're cheap and good

[grizzled frost]

one after another, minimal benefit if any, sometimes it’s a net negative due to vortices forming

[north hill]

which model...

[gritty panther]

P12/P14 5 packs. get them when on sale

I always see them go on sale for stupid cheap every now and then

[rigid fjord]

you'll end up with one fan that overspins because of the others and fry itself/fuck up the fan header

[gritty panther]

wish I had a need for them lol

[rigid fjord]

p12 pro pst/p14 pro pst

[north hill]

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07HC7P3HJ this i presume?

[rigid fjord]

no

[gritty panther]

dont get 3pin

get the PWM PST like rauko said

they daisy chain which is nice

[north hill]

THIS one? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DJDDCG4M

[gritty panther]

yessir

[north hill]

$27.49 rn

[gritty panther]

that's 5 pack

😆

[rigid fjord]

yes, and these daisy chain

[north hill]

that'll fill the damn case

almost

[gritty panther]

yep. those are amazing fans for the price

[north hill]

the two fans it comes with stock will probably be top exhaust

[gritty panther]

I say get two more if you need it lol

[north hill]

where should the stock case fans go?

[gritty panther]

they're like $8 each?

[rigid fjord]

3k rpm at max, and whisper quite up to around 2200rpm

[rigid fjord]

the bin

[north hill]

parts bin*

[rigid fjord]

no, rubbish bin

[gritty panther]

please tune your fans. the fan noise is subjective please just dont let it run at max lol

[north hill]

my desktop, my rules :P

[gritty panther]

went to a coworker's place last year. all his fans were at 100% for no reason. it was just a 9700x and a 2 fan rtx 5070

im like bro. your temps will be the same even if I turn off all the fans 😄. I dialed it down to a reasonable speed and he loved me for it.

[gaunt spade]

american cat

[north hill]

mine is a blower 2080-Ti

it'll always be loud

wow, the case can hold 8 fans lol

[rigid fjord]

@gritty panther gone from 4.5 to 6.9 mmH2O

[north hill]

and it STILL has room for some DVD drives n stuff

[rigid fjord]

that's 3x the static pressure any noctua fan has

[gritty panther]

Arctic fans numba one

I heard thermalright fans are decent too. I have zero experience with them

[rigid fjord]

yeah, but you have to get specific models tbh

[gritty panther]

id rather stick to Arctic. ive had good experience with their customer support too

[rigid fjord]

same, very proactive

[gritty panther]

tldr: bought 3 pack p14 ARGB PWM PST, one fan was making weird noises. they sent me a new one.

I was able to fix broken fan with oil I use for my 3d printers. free fan yhay

[north hill]

current spec-sheet

[gritty panther]

probably wasnt lubed/not enough out of the factory

[rigid fjord]

os drive doesn't need to be dram cached nor does it need to be more than 500gb

[gritty panther]

I heard arctic may have QC issues sometimes but they're quick to send replacements so that's fine.

[rigid fjord]

literally a sn570/580/770 as the OS drive would be fine

[north hill]

i'm trying to not have like 3 games drives again...

[rigid fjord]

remember the issue during covid in regards to lf2's

[north hill]

guess a WD_Black HDD could work as an older games drive

[gritty panther]

hard drives are slow even a velociraptor.

[rigid fjord]

they contacted all lf2 owners regardless of purchase date in regards to it

[gritty panther]

modern games just don't run well on them

[north hill]

@stone tartan prove that mostly wrong

you did the tests

[gritty panther]

It'll work but it's not gonna be a pleasant experience imo

[north hill]

i know that, ALL of my games runn on HDDs atm

[rigid fjord]

only retro games would run realistically off of a hdd, anything from the past 10-15 years will be more optimized for running from a ssd

[gritty panther]

I can run games fine off my NAS with SATA SSD. some of them dont work well at all like Rift Apart

[north hill]

funny how nobody makes SATA SSDs anymore...

[rigid fjord]

<- has a mix of games, several retro ones that run only from a hdd

[gritty panther]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPWKH1lNeno Rift apart running off my NAS lel (sata SSD)

[north hill]

this chud ran Battlefield 6 off a HDD

it ran kinda ok

[rigid fjord]

sata 2.5's still being made, just gotta actually look for them

[rigid fjord]

loading times would have sucked

[gritty panther]

only reason to get SATA SSD's is when you run out of m.2 slots

price is very similar. and you're not capped at 500mb/sec

[sharp ivy]

I can run more recent games like snowrunner, Beamng, Art of Rally, Brick Rigs and War thunder off a HDD

not even that bad

[rigid fjord]

those are more optimized for ssd use tbh

[sharp ivy]

ye

but not unbearably slow on hdd

[north hill]

i have 2 M.2 slots on the motherboard of choice

[gritty panther]

get two m.2 ssd's

[rigid fjord]

these be retro games nowadays and makes no use of a ssd

[rigid fjord]

second m.2 slot disables 2x sata ports

[north hill]

but why...

[gritty panther]

you should have a few tho

[rigid fjord]

goes through the pch aka chipset so bandwidth is shared

[north hill]

a few of what?

M.2 SSDs?

[gritty panther]

few sata ports left*

even if 2 gets disbaled

[rigid fjord]

he's going for a b550 that has 6x sata

[gritty panther]

4x left?

[rigid fjord]

so only 4 will be usable in the end

[gritty panther]

yea that's fine

[north hill]

oh, yeah thats fine

[gritty panther]

the average joe is fine with 2x m.2 and 4x sata imo. especially in this economy

it's plenty

[north hill]

spec sheet says that i need 3 HDDs

so that'll work

[gritty panther]

can even do 4 hard drives

[unique wave]

Hey does anybody know about trouble shooting for a new build not working or is this the wrong channel for that

[rigid fjord]

other than the top slot, any other pcie slot on the mobo will most likely be wired as pcie x1 despite being a pcie x16 slot also

[rigid fjord]

#1027757333117415424

[unique wave]

Thank you

[rigid fjord]

me with 8 sata drives despite 2x sata being disabled on the mobo, hehe

[native path]

This annoys me so much tbh like i understand why it disables the ports but if i see 2x M.2 ports and 6x sata ports, im thinking i can have 8 drives

[north hill]

actually, 3 HDDs + 1 Blu-ray drive

[rigid fjord]

if you go b650, you can still tbh

@north hill

[north hill]

...what does this tell me?

[gaunt spade]

hello

[rigid fjord]

amount of drives in my system, some of which are not directly connected into my mobo

[north hill]

splitter or some shit?

[rigid fjord]

close to what you'd be doing, and no, it's a sata expansion card running off pcie x1 slot

[north hill]

didn't know those existed

[brittle prism]

Should I take thsi and run fyi it’s in aud

[rigid fjord]

they do, you don't want more than a 6 port expansion card to run off from a pcie x1 slot

[brittle prism]

@rigid fjord

[rigid fjord]

no

[brittle prism]

Wdym no

Isn’t it really cheap

[rigid fjord]

8gb sticks, no beuno

[brittle prism]

Should I get one 16gb stick and why does it matter

[rigid fjord]

a single 16gb or a proper 2x 16gb kit would be advisable

also, it's due to how ddr5 works, and how it subchannels on the ram @brittle prism

[brittle prism]

Okay thanks

[gaunt spade]

pixel bad cpu

ive never used wireless charging

i like 65 watt fast charging

and degrading battery

[brittle prism]

What parts of my pc should I buy second hand

[gaunt spade]

[sinful cobalt]

fast charging doesnt rly degrade battery faster

[gaunt spade]

hmmm

im gonna be blind soon i need eye surgery

[gaunt spade]

rgb=fps

[ivory mountain]

i wish i could control my DRAM lighting via bios, boards only support ARGB controlling via bios

[ivory mountain]

i just wanted it to be purple

also iroh did you see what happened to the 570

[sinful cobalt]

i get slightly annoyed when the RGB software doesnt work for my ram lmao

ok

[gaunt spade]

poor

poor peopoes features

[rough salmon]

Bruh at this point steam machine won’t come out this year, I hope they at least bring out the controller

That’s good, I like a completely black setup I ain’t want no rgb haha

[ivory mountain]

signal used a fucking gig

my brother is just another me

[rough salmon]

Put black paint on the ram and disable the software

[ivory mountain]

yeah im just gonna paint 64gb of ddr5

[rough salmon]

Ya

Just put it in acid, then put black paint in

[ivory mountain]

im okay

i like my purple

[rough salmon]

Alr

[rough salmon]

I’m waiting for the damn steam controller, ik it’ll be like £100 lol

[stone tartan]

It ran fine, outside of the first minute of texture steaming being noticeable i couldn’t see it at all after

[rose stream]

This late though. Man...

And by that meaning in pointing it out.
They should've said something at an earlier time and then it would've been funnier.

[rocky marlin]

Hey catto….

What’s up with the foot in the mouth my guy @ebon marlin

[quiet viper]

guys are gpu fans durable? i was cleaning mine with a brush and it got stuck and pulled the fan with force out if its place then it flexed back to place when i took out the brush, it's working but could it have cause damage for the long term?

[weary crater]

I Fixed it. It was PIA VPN and it's Split tunnelling. Just saying for future reference.

[sharp hound]

true

[round swan]

under task manager i decided to enable that league of legends to run as admin. now game wont load and i cant find the app in which i enable this. is there an easier way to find this?

[bright surge]

so, do yall prefer HDMI or DP for your main monitor?

[ionic atlas]

dp for all monitors. hdmi for all tv's

[bright surge]

for some reason, most RX9070XTs have 2 HDMI out instead of one, so im trying to decide what is the best option for my main gamaing monitro

oh wait

i might HAVE to use DP from my PC for it as the main monitors im looking at for my end game i THINK only have 1 HDMI in

and i need that for the out put from the capture card

[sinful cobalt]

Primarily DP unless its DP1.4 vs HDMI 2.1, I’d go HDMI2.1

[empty quartz]

Tbh before the ai crisis, the only ssd manufacturer that deserved the higher prices was kingston

Wd had no right having the highest prices for the sub par ssd’s they sell

[sharp lance]

why is so awfully slow after 10 seconds. it starts off at 60MB/s download then drops to that shit

[empty quartz]

Megabits vs megabytes

[sharp lance]

yeah i know

im not THAT dumb

[empty quartz]

Plus its probably shitty isp

Also

[sharp lance]

but the download goes from 50-60MB/s down to 5MB/s after like 10 seconds

[frigid blade]

bad ssd?

[empty quartz]

Why the hell are you downloading a macos iso

[frigid blade]

cant sustain longer writes at high speeds?

[sharp lance]

im bored and i want to run it in a vm

[frigid blade]

isnt that a QLC thing

[empty quartz]

Wont work

[sharp lance]

shit

[empty quartz]

Its not than simple

[sharp lance]

arm64?

[empty quartz]

No, high sierra can run on intel

But you typically need specific parts

[frigid blade]

Pretty sure its harder to run MacOS in a VM than on a non Mac device

[empty quartz]

It is

[sharp lance]

shit

[empty quartz]

Samsung, its a bad ssd

[sharp lance]

oh well

it runs fine fornow

[frigid blade]

well its TLC so thats not the issue I was thinking of

[empty quartz]

How is it already at 98% health 💀

Only has 14tbw

[sharp lance]

it just hit 98 like 2 days ago

[empty quartz]

This is why i try to stick to kingston for ssd’s

[sharp lance]

fair

[frigid blade]

is it running in a gen 3 slot? idk how to read it im assuming its in a gen 3 x4 slot but supports up to gen 5 x4?

I know thats not the issue Im asking this for myself

Ive never used crystal disk info

[sharp lance]

rog strix b550 f gaming. running it in the lower slot to so that doesnt help

[empty quartz]

Example of kingston ssd

Wrong image

[sharp lance]

my other one is gen 4. i installed this a while after my 1 tb boot ssd

[frigid blade]

ima check now ive never checked health

oof

[sharp lance]

better then my friends ailenware laptip

laptop

the one with the desktop pc parts in it like the pga cpu and upgradable gpu

[south arrow]

126,000gb is solid though for only 11% health

[empty quartz]

Ill check how many tbw my 120gb kingston has

[frigid blade]

Yah, seems to be within margin of error for the health based on its write rating

[frigid blade]

1,200 TBW is the rating

[grizzled frost]

no, i’m scared now

[south arrow]

My current 3

[sharp lance]

my current 3

[frigid blade]

At what % health should you start considering swapping out to a new one?

No errors ^

[south arrow]

Should always have a backup just in case for important files

[frigid blade]

All my important files are in github repos hah, so no need

Not personal stuff ^ its mostly dev projects, I just dont keep anything important on my pc

other drive

[vestal shore]

[frigid blade]

This one is just surveillance storage

so gonna have a ton of writes pretty fast

[south arrow]

If you start getting data integrity errors, error logs, or bad sectors it would be the time to seek a new one though to be direct

And to do a fresh install *

[vestal shore]

random question, who's willing to assist in some data collection for me? started something some time ago and want more data.

[south arrow]

I have opinions here but thats about it xD

https://tenor.com/view/bearish-bearishaf-bearish-af-cute-kawaii-gif-17817558939485234838

[frigid blade]

7 7680x2160 feeds, so 7 8k feeds

[vestal shore]

essentially, i gave myself an "addiction" to running r23 on absolutely everything i can

[frigid blade]

I had to go check, i forgot the resolution

[vestal shore]

thus far... im at 190 different systems / configs

but i uhh

want more lol

and have elected to reach out to folks and see if they want to get involved in this absolute mess

[south arrow]

I gib these

[vestal shore]

the attached file contains a copy of cinebench r23, along with all the cpus ive ran. Take a screenshot of the scores(examples are found within the archive), name the file after your cpu, then send me both that and the text file created when closing cinebench. The latter of which is found under: "documents/maxon/cinebench_23.200/cb_ranking". That text file is what actually contains the score data.

[vestal shore]

the actual score files, if you would kindly.

[south arrow]

Oh I dont have those

[vestal shore]

damn.

[south arrow]

Sold the zotac setup and the 9950x build dont think i saved it xD

[vestal shore]

lol

while im here, i might as well share my personal favorite

[south arrow]

But if i get to another run ill send its

[vestal shore]

Behold. An CPU.

[south arrow]

At least it ran, doing its best!

[vestal shore]

the second worst cpu capable of running w10 x64. the bare minimum for r23.

[vestal shore]

this idiot didnt run, it didnt walk, it didnt even crawl. it wallowed in pain for a period of ~9h before finishing.

[south arrow]

Dedication, I respect it

448mb of ram and forcing it to page off a 5400 rpm drive does that.

program wouldnt launch with anything below 448. it would be too busy paging. drive activity light was solid at 256.

believe it or not, but there is something that is in theory, worse.

but it doesnt exist stateside.

and finding a complete system with said thing has proven... difficult.

you see that amd c-50? the worst performing multicore chip on there?

[south arrow]

Sounds fair old tech is getting harder to find in working order

[vestal shore]

oh this isnt old

its 2011.

[south arrow]

Oh huh

[vestal shore]

which, means its bulldozer

[south arrow]

Collecting Linus coin later on is going to be hard lol, gonna have to sort Charlie brown coins

[vestal shore]

so take the amd c-50, a cpu thats already absolutely putrid, cut it in half, and give it an extra 200mhz.

the amd c-30.

[grizzled frost]

still no update on the US delivery of the linus coin

[vestal shore]

a cpu of all time.

[grizzled frost]

i want my linus coin LINUS

[south arrow]

Not that i know of but im expecting a few weeks

[grizzled frost]

some canadians already got theirs apparently

[south arrow]

Hrmm

[grizzled frost]

linus hates us true mericans /s

[south arrow]

Just confirmed so far I believe

My page doesnt show anything else

[empty quartz]

Whats the worst

[vestal shore]

bruvly, you already know it

[empty quartz]

No

[south arrow]

[empty quartz]

Because the c-50 was dethroned

[vestal shore]

its the c-30

which is half a c-50 and is slower than the atom 230

[south arrow]

What was its purpose? In its time ofc*

[vestal shore]

the atom n435 might be worse

[drowsy isle]

@tulip depot so the lag in beat saber that I thoujght was just from my wifi was really just fps drops, I did not think a 5080 + 9800x3d would strugle with beat saber but I guess it's just poor optimization

I bought a whole router too lmao

[empty quartz]

I still gotta try to get my hands on a sempron

[vestal shore]

essentially the toenail clipings from the c-50 silicon that got shat into random netbooks that got sold in non-english speaking countries.

[south arrow]

Oh i see

[empty quartz]

@vestal shore do you have a sempron 200u?

[vestal shore]

only things i came across were in itally and france. and said things were just pieces.

[drowsy isle]

a be550 router with gigabit fiber and the meta quest is the only thing connected to it, I still experienced lag and it was just due to my pc

[vestal shore]

i have an athlon II 170u

which is a desktop chip.

which is horrifying considering thats its a mere 20W

(sure as hell performs like it)

[tulip depot]

Time to get a 5090 for beat saber

[empty quartz]

I have a 64bit cpu from 2004, but it just gets stuck at a blinking cursor when booting into windows, or even installing

[south arrow]

Thats right the more you buy

[vestal shore]

simple. lacks sse3.

[south arrow]

💸

[drowsy isle]

Apparently people with even 4090s experience massive frame drops

[vestal shore]

i never had any on my 1660s

[drowsy isle]

connected to the meta quest 3 with virtual desktop?

[vestal shore]

nope. hard wired with a q2 over usbc

[drowsy isle]

yeah problem seems to happen with meta quest 3 + virtual desktop

[vestal shore]

ok so its not the fault of your system.

my mate with the 3s has no issue with VD

probably the q3 being dumb

[drowsy isle]

I had the 3s before this and I had no problems either

and tracking was so much better on the 3s

[vestal shore]

well theres the answer

q3 being shit

glad i never picked one up considering how often i play vr

ie, never

[empty quartz]

It has sse3

[drowsy isle]

I can still return it to best buy at least so I'm not too worried

[vestal shore]

prefetchw

[grizzled frost]

valve index has seen me through 2000 hours of vr use now

i had 11k hours on the htc vive

[empty quartz]

Its a athlon 64 3500+

[vestal shore]

yeah thats why

no prefetchw

not all x64 cpus can do w10 x64. the earliest ones lack prefetchw

[drowsy isle]

yeah would be cool but didn't want to spend $1000 on a 5 year old wired headset

[vestal shore]

wait for frameeeeeee

[grizzled frost]

500usd for me, since i already had controllers and base stations

[drowsy isle]

That's not coming anytime soon sadly

[vestal shore]

thanks slop bubble!

[grizzled frost]

i want the big screen beyond2

tiny headset, absolutely phenomenal resolution and FOV

[drowsy isle]

I wish there was a wireless headset with oled pancake for PCVR lens that's not the price of a car

I mean all I do is play beat saber

[vestal shore]

I want a headset that won't fog up and will fit my glasses

[tulip depot]

All that money just to play beat saber

[grizzled frost]

valve index does just fine for me at the highest end of beatsaber

i mean i set a global record on the index

[vestal shore]

My mate is top 4k on a 3s

[drowsy isle]

I bought a whole router for it lol,

[vestal shore]

What the fuckkkkk

Absolute madlad

Atp just get a USB c to Ethernet adapter

[vestal shore]

Wire your headset to the wall

[drowsy isle]

DIdn't want a cable

I already have a 20 feet cable

[vestal shore]

Mate. You should've just gotten a few Asus routers and did mesh

That's what I did and it's great

Got one nice router for the main, and a couple of the cheaper ones for satellites

[drowsy isle]

I got this for $120

[vestal shore]

Oddly cheap...

Main router was something like $200

Granted I was absolutely tired of the shitty ass deco p7s we had.

Wired to a satellite would net 11.1mbps

[drowsy isle]

I already have another router

Main router for everything else, mesh system for doorbell/appliances. archer be550 for meta quest 3

[vestal shore]

I could totally just built my own 10gbps router from ewaste atp

Heaps of 10g cards

And I like kinda work there on Wednesdays

[drowsy isle]

yeah since I'm about to move and at&t is offering a 5 gig plan for $84 a month at the new place

my be550 doesn';t support it

[vestal shore]

Imagine having your own place smh

Fuck this economy bro

[drowsy isle]

I live in texas and rent's pretty cheap here

[vestal shore]

A roach filled shithole is still at minimum $700 a month here. Thanks 40% renters tax increase.

[drowsy isle]

Oh not that low

[plain cypress]

What's wrong with 11 roommates

[vestal shore]

Lmao

[vestal shore]

Yeah this is a shit hole. Something liveable is like $1200 at least.

[drowsy isle]

current place I'm in is $1600 a month, city view, garage, new applancies, bult in speaker system, gym, pet wash center, etc
