Is the intel i3 12100F reccomended to use nowadays, or should I just straight up upgrade

[solar moat]

its still very good

[solar moat]

do you have 12100F?

[valid stump]

I got the choice to get a new intel motherboard that supports my i3, and I have 64 gb ddr4 ram

Or

Switch to amd with a new motherboard and 1 stick of 16 gb ddr5 ram

[valid stump]

Yup

But im in this iffy situation and idk what to do

[solar moat]

whats it running bad?

[valid stump]

The motherboard stopped working so I can either replace it and keep my cpu and ram and also upgrade to water cooling or just switch it all out to ddr5

[raven scroll]

Rate my amazing cable management

[formal sonnet]

When the side panel goes back on it doesn't matter.

[raven scroll]

Exactly

If you can’t see it it doesn’t exist

Trust

Although this is making the cable extensions in the front look strange

[native path]

Mine doesn’t go back on for my home server

[solar moat]

with in warrenty?

[native path]

Eventually I want that in a proper case with the correct drive bays

[solar moat]

anyway ddr5 costs crazy amount and will not be meaningfly faster may aswell just get replace ment board and keep ram/cpu unless cpu was not keeping up in your workload

My mobo came with a baby fan

What am I supposed to do with it

[native path]

For devices that don’t need big fans

It’s a big curve

Katie Price isn’t even that curved

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=70uei9-FqkE if monitor unboxed reccomends it, i listen, i'll keep my 16:9 for 5 years and wait for oled ultrawide to cheapen, then buy an ultrawide with a mild curve.

an adjustable monitor is insane though.

adjustable curve....

Hey does anyone of Paradigit, I've never head of it im woundering if its legit becuase the price of a monieter that i want to buy is like €100 cheaper (https://www.paradigit.ie/gigabyte-gs27u-27/21824492/product)

The woman is something of a marvel. Not positively that is, but she’s a fascinating creature for financial, cosmetic and dating reasons. Especially now given her age physically, however I feel like she’s still stuck in her early 20s

Her low effort exploits of tabloids still working is also minor genius. The money she’d earn from proper social media engagement would make so much extra work. She built that system and still exploits it now.

she a ho' and everyone knows it tbh

[modern void]

W help

[solar moat]

if you cant list what running slow you shoud not upgrade anything

[rigid fjord]

any upgrades is going to result in a platform change, if you want a better cpu, otherwise it's fine and or you can go to 40 series nvidia 05 a 9060xt

[cold skiff]

Made millions from being a ho. I’d do it too

[rigid fjord]

you're already a ho' though a ho' for tech

[eternal cloak]

Upgrade when you can, a 12600K isn't particularly expensive nowadays

Does it matter if Normal thermal paste gets under the AM5 cutouts on the CPU or should i try and get it out

[solar moat]

its fine

[solar moat]

https://tenor.com/4Xjz.gif

[solar moat]

still booted after this

[lone sparrow]

kk

its just cause i got a brand new Mobo and a 9950X3D just wanted to make sure since ive used intel for 20+ years and finally swapped to AMD

[solar moat]

RIP

pleass say your not a gamer

[lone sparrow]

I have a hybird system for AI related work and gaming

So i needed the extra cores

[solar moat]

so perfect use case for 270k

at like 50% of price

[rigid fjord]

7 more years and you'll be wishing your childhood back

[lone sparrow]

I needed to make up for slow memory since I neeed some much for my Work XD and intel does not have the cache to do that

[lone sparrow]

most of my tasks are GPU bound and i have a 5090 for that, and the tasks that are CPU related are like 10-20% of what i do so i prefer the better gaming cpu

[solar moat]

ah yes that 3% gain

9800x3d is cheaper and just better for gaming

[cold skiff]

8800MTS

[lone sparrow]

Again idk what you dont understand by a hybrid system but its a whatever thanks for the thermal paste input at least

[cold skiff]

Well quite simply put it makes no sense

I have a hybrid system for gaming and word processing is the same thing as what you said

Multi-purpose, makes much more sense.

[ivory mountain]

beating my 7800x3d by 50 seconds 😭

[lone sparrow]

You also don't need to load models that exceed 100GB in memory or most likely dont have a system with 192GB of RAM or run Background servers that requires more cores

[solar moat]

9950x3d is kind of just dose not make the landing for mixed use case

[proven lava]

Corsair made this abomination of a diagram....

[drowsy raptor]

Hey guys, I have an issue. My pc says i got 16gb ram installed even though its 16x2
Both of sticks are lit up so i dont understand why it says 16 instead of 32
It used to be displaying 32gb now only 16
any solutions? I also noticed my pc became slow i get drop frames when i open 2 tabs of the same app sometimes

[cold skiff]

It means nothing without testing methodologies and brands

[proven lava]

Are both RAM Chips inserted correctly?

[drowsy raptor]

Also when i remove my wireless wifi driver and put it in quickly my pc crashes and restarts

[drowsy raptor]

yes and are lit up

[cold skiff]

Holy fuck £15* for 3g of thermal paste? Thats not for me

I’d rather use something else or spend money on ptm

[drowsy raptor]

it says here 16 but i have 2 16 sticks

my gpu is 4070

[cold skiff]

Try channel b instead of A if they’re seated correctly

Could have dead slot

[drowsy raptor]

if thats the case wouldnt it not be lit up

like the ram sticks

[cold skiff]

Can still get power and the links not working

[drowsy raptor]

what should i do?

[proven lava]

I know, but the axis are wrong, starting at 70 and I think they are not allowed by some laws in the EU atleast not to display other companies names because the tests were probably done by themselves and not by a free testing lab. But why have an all wrong diagram that displays nothing in the end, atleast its funny

[cold skiff]

Make sure it is seated. Check bios to see if both detected. That rules out hardware/software issue

[drowsy raptor]

also my pc been so slow lately like i open 2 unreal engine tabs and the app crashes and my mouse freezes

[cold skiff]

Marketing. The nubs will buy it

[drowsy raptor]

it never happened before, could it be the wiindows itself?

[drowsy raptor]

alright

[cold skiff]

Hard to tell if software or hardware again.

If bios shows both Dimms populated correctly with correct voltages, it’s probably a winblows issue

[proven lava]

Thats a good first step, but check if both are really recognized by the system

[proven lava]

Probably

[cold skiff]

Although hey it could be really good. You just don’t know

[proven lava]

It could be but if they dont have real testing data, its all worthless

[drowsy raptor]

its not, one of them isnt because it say only 16

also in bios same thing

i just check it only say 16

[proven lava]

Then only one is inserted vorrectly. First take one out at a time and check if the RAM chip is the issue

and then you can check the slots on the mother board

(if you have 4 slots try 1+3 and 2+4 )

If this isnt the issue, you can go on and check if its a siftware issue

[rigid fjord]

then they realise, they're the worst thermal paste

[proven lava]

them lighting up isnt really a safe way to say that the hardware is working correctly

[proven lava]

"Lower number is better" ~ Corsair

[fickle ivy]

After 12 hours of work (mostly waiting for things to load) I have finally figured out what I needed to do in unity

[rigid fjord]

meanwhile £5 for mx-4/mx/6/mx-7 or £4 for helios

[proven lava]

Its seems to be a common theme on the Corsair website to either not label and wrongly display axis...

[drowsy raptor]

alr wait ill try

by the way is it worth upgrading to a 5080 from a 4070 as an indie game dev

or nah

[cold skiff]

$180 for a 9950X3D IHS - Read more here: https://wccftech.com/user-buys-ryzen-9-9950x3d-from-amazon-finds-entire-cpu-missing-under-heatsink/

[cold skiff]

It depends on what you’re doing as a game dev and what engine you are working in

[drowsy raptor]

unreal engine and my display is 2k

it works fine but as i said my pc been freezing and im not sure if its a software issue or smth

[cold skiff]

What part of unreal are you working with

Environment, code or models+environment

Or all 3 tbh

[drowsy raptor]

code

and sometimes all of them but mainly code

[cold skiff]

Then the gpu won’t make much of a difference

[proven lava]

Depends on the engine and what you want to do with it. But price to performance wise its not really worth it. You should check out other bottlenecks in your system first

[cold skiff]

Tbfh unless you’re doing models, with UE5 you should prioritise CPU. GPU has a benefit in environment, but it has a significantly bigger benefit to modelling

With code, your gpu is basically redundant

[fickle ivy]

Should I get a new hinge?

[proven lava]

Did you have issues so far with ue5?

[proven lava]

Nah tape it

[fickle ivy]

With what

[proven lava]

duct tape and hopes and dreams. But fr get a new hinge or 3d print one

[fickle ivy]

I just realized

The hinge is fine

[proven lava]

Oh

[fickle ivy]

It broke the plastic mounts for the screws...

JB weld?

[proven lava]

Could work but be careful with the screen compoments

[fickle ivy]

The cable is already shearing(?) and at certain angles I get no display

[deep musk]

Thats bad

[fickle ivy]

I'm doing the best I can right now

[keen folio]

oh god. is that a HP or a ThinkBook? it doesnt look like a thinkpad.

[fickle ivy]

HP

Convertible x360 to make it worse, it's a 360° hinge

[keen folio]

also, that hinge is ripped out of the display assebly. so you wont be able to flix it that easily. you need a new display assembly frame. display should be fine if i see this correctly. Maybe you can even get the next gen model, it should be compatible, but made out of magnesium/aluminium.

try aliexpress and all those chinese sites. they often sell stuff like this. maybe you even get lucky with HP support. even tho they are a nightmare to deal with.

and the cable should also be replacable unless HP decided to hard solder it to the display (unlikely btw)

[keen folio]

what i definetly do NOT recommend is JB weld. it heats up when curing and will damage the display and everything around it. that stuff is toxic for computer components. also you will NEVER get that stuff off there if it decides to break again

[fickle ivy]

I spent like $13 on this laptop it might not be worth it

[mortal mantle]

how do you even break the hinges

[keen folio]

its HP. what do you expect

if you want to get a durable laptop WITHOUT hinge problems, get a god damn thinkpad

HP stands for Hinge Problems

[mortal mantle]

even on a HP (had a HP laptop that lasted from 2018-2024 and the board failed before the hinges did)

[keen folio]

bro got lucky

i had 7 HP laptops through work in the last 5 years.. we finally switched to ThinkPad. (i personally went with macbook cuz all apple ecosystem) (ik, boo me, i like it)

the first 6 broke after just a few months of use, and the one that broke the straw was a HP OmniBook Ultra Flip 14 for 1500$ that snapped the hinges on the first day. right after unpacking.

NEVER AGAIN HP

[mint umbra]

Why does everyone call apple stuff over priced by not samsung

[keen folio]

Both are overpriced. i got a great deal on it, that the only reason i even went for apple

600$ for a M4 Macbook Air with 24gigs of RAM and 1TB of SSD

[grizzled frost]

yeah HP kinda sucks

[cold skiff]

Would you say Nvidia is over priced?

[cold skiff]

Hinge Problems is what you bought

[keen folio]

I would say yes. However they have perks that AMD does not have. NVENC as example. fully native RT Cores. (idk if amd also has those now)
a few more things that i dont remember.

AMD is more consumer friendly on the other side.

[keen folio]

exactly. that why we threw out all our HP laptops and replaced them either with thinkbooks or macbooks.

[cold skiff]

I only asked if it was over priced. Not to give me a list of features and compare to a competitor

[keen folio]

Short answer, yes

[fickle ivy]

Was like this when I got it

[keen folio]

im kinda waiting for this AI bubble to burst, cuz then all the prices are going to drop dramatically. even the gpu prices. but idk how long this is still gonna last sadly

[fickle ivy]

Hopefully not much longer

I'm hoping to get a steam frame for a decent price

[keen folio]

yeah. i need new ram after one of my 4 sticks went kaboom.

[fickle ivy]

My mom's still refusing to give back my desktop so I'm stuck with this shitty laptop

[keen folio]

huh the fuck happened

[fickle ivy]

It's got an i3 7100u, and it still somehow can't keep itself cool

Not to mention the HDD that makes things take forever

[keen folio]

wait, lemme guess, ur underage, your mom got mad at you for no reason and took you pc away?

[fickle ivy]

Yep

[keen folio]

rip

[fickle ivy]

She got mad at me cuz I bought it without her permission (with my money)

And made me return the PSU and I didn't get my money back for it

And won't even let me order my new camera lens 😒

[keen folio]

do not take this as advice.

i had the same problem with my first laptop that i bought.

the took my laptop.

in return i took the battery out of her car lmao

shit went down pretty quickly after i got back from school.

TLDR, i got my laptop back and she got her battery back

[fickle ivy]

I've already been arrested for this soooo

[mint umbra]

Yes

[bold olive]

the hdr sunburn when im casually scrolling through reels

[keen folio]

I doubt your mom would have you arrested. Also this is a family dispute. Most cops won’t do jackshit.

[ivory mountain]

considering how a lot of 9070xt models are hitting $800 now when an open box 5070ti/refurb is $900, no

[fickle ivy]

It was the cops choice or smth even tho there was literally no evidence of anything

Anyways I had to live with my friend for 6 months until the charges were dropped and the no contact order was over

[keen folio]

Oof. That sucks.

[fickle ivy]

Does anyone have those like rollerblade style chair wheels

[latent tundra]

do you guys think that a separate, strictly at home only device for password manager where it has literally zero internet connection not even bluetooth is practical or bruh moment

[fickle ivy]

I just spent 12 hours figuring out how to use unity to upload a custom vrchat avatar just to realize I didn't make it quest compatible 😔

[grizzled frost]

not super practical

and it’s kind of less secure than most options

use a well known password manager like nordpass, then have a strong password you only use for that manager

like my password for my password manager is in 3 languages, and has random numbers and characters

then all of my passwords are 30 character alphanumerical nonsense

[cunning sky]

Does anyone know why my Windows Vista pc doesn't have an option to acess BIOS when starting it. It has options like safe booting but I genuinely can't find bios on this thing

[grizzled frost]

spam delete as it boots

[cunning sky]

tried that, it only took me to the safe boot menu

I've tried all the keys

[grizzled frost]

you can always just pull the boot drive and boot like that

[cunning sky]

huh

[grizzled frost]

like just unplug the drive that the OS is on

[cunning sky]

and then turn the pc on?

[grizzled frost]

yeah

[cunning sky]

ok I'll give it a try

[grizzled frost]

it’ll force it to boot into bios since there’s no bootable media

[cunning sky]

ok

thanks

[grizzled frost]

change whatever settings you want in bios, then turn off the pc and plug the drive back in, turn the pc and you should boot back into windows like normal

friendly reminder, don’t connect a windows vista machine to the internet

ever

[mint umbra]

I've never understood ppl why download diff os for their phone

[grizzled frost]

it's the android crowd, what did you expect

they love being able to make their phone their own, even if it's objectively worse

(not hating on android, just people that use android)

[cunning sky]

it wont boot into bios it just says disk boot failure

it wont let me do anything else

[deep musk]

You can’t press escape or something like that when you’re on that screen?

[cunning sky]

ok it finally pulled it up on like the 5th try

Ok so apparently my pc cant use usb as a boot device so if i need to use hirens bootCD on there how do I even make it compatible

im cooked

I'm never gonna get this stupid password bypassed, me and my sister tried everything to remember what the password was

[proven lava]

Do you still got the bood cd or a pc that can burn cds?

[grizzled frost]

solid chance your system is proprietary and doesn't support BIOS

[cunning sky]

yeah I have a cd burner

the pc im trying to bypass the damn password on btw lmao https://www.newegg.com/compaq-presario-sr5410f-student-home-office/p/N82E16883109010

[cunning sky]

Could I possibly burn a boot cd with hiren's bootCD on it? I have Music CD-Rs ?? idk if thats even the same thing though. I don't do this often but for my childhood memories I better be trying everything

[proven lava]

If you have CDs with nothing burned on them yet you can use them possibly as boot CD you can use a dvd too. But I dont think this will solve the Password problem. Do you have a second user account ?

[cunning sky]

No, see I was gonna use Hiren's bootCD program to bypass the password

I saw people on reddit saying it was the easiest way. The pc only has my sister's old user and then the guest account. I wanted to get our old files off the pc and also be able to play my sims 2 disks on it

but I can't play the sims 2 without administrator permission and I don't wanna just wipe the drive of our old stuff

[native path]

ur best bet would be to take it to a data recovery shop

[cunning sky]

How much do they charge usually

[grizzled frost]

depends

[native path]

no clue, since it's not corrupted im assuming it wouldnt be super expensive

[grizzled frost]

You could likely recover data yourself if you really want

[native path]

probably

[cunning sky]

I'd prefer that

[native path]

what steps have you already gone through? i happen to have taken a class on this

[grizzled frost]

just plug the drive into a known working computer

[proven lava]

I only know solutions for win 7 and 10 on how to get admin rights, but this might help for windows Vista
http://www.chntpw.com/guide/

[cunning sky]

would that boot the same like its on the old pc? How does that work

im not the brightest

[grizzled frost]

You'd boot into the other computer like normal

you don't want to boot from the windows vista drive

[cunning sky]

oh ok

[grizzled frost]

The windows vista drive should still show up like normal, and allow you to pull files off it

[cunning sky]

oh ok

after I get all of the stuff off of the old pc is there an option to just reset the drive and take off everything from the account?

and restart like new

[grizzled frost]

You can just reformat the drive

[deep musk]

Was gonna tell them to do this but I wasn’t sure if they had another ide system (im assuming it’s an ide drive)

[cunning sky]

will i have to reinstall windows vista

[grizzled frost]

functionally resets the drive

[grizzled frost]

Yes, but you really shouldn't be using vista to begin with

[native path]

well u could reinstall any other OS

[grizzled frost]

Using windows Vista is a security risk

[cunning sky]

oh well i was just gonna use it offline to play sims 2 disks

[grizzled frost]

You can get sata to IDE converts for pretty cheap

[grizzled frost]

That's fine, you just shouldn't ever connect it to the internet

[cunning sky]

aw man

what could I even get besides windows vista on that old thing its this pc: https://www.newegg.com/compaq-presario-sr5410f-student-home-office/p/N82E16883109010

would it even run windows 7

[grizzled frost]

most linux distros

[native path]

wouldnt be fun but yes - id advise just linux though

[grizzled frost]

honestly my opinion would be just don't use that computer, it is so old it's essentially e-waste

[cunning sky]

yeah but the issue is i cant afford sims 2 online rn and i have the disks for sims 2 but they dont run on modern pcs

[deep musk]

Forgor about dat

[native path]

$600 usd

[proven lava]

Sail the seven seas of the internet or look on reddit and you will have your sims 2

[grizzled frost]

they use fairly standard SSDs

high quality ones, but nothing like that crazy

[fickle ivy]

Show me where I'm getting a fully functional MacBook for $13 and I will

[native path]

well compared to a HDD taking 10 minutes to boot up unity its super duper ultra fast

[grizzled frost]

well any SSD is going to beat any HDD

[native path]

not $13 but i just found a $19 USD macbook pro from 2012 fully functional

[fickle ivy]

I would be using an m.2 SSD I. This thing but my mom lost it and I can't afford a new one 🫩

[craggy cove]

i also put it on the "wrong" side!

[fickle ivy]

That's 2012, this is from 2018

[native path]

now you're getting it, it's super duper ultra fast

[native path]

but the super duper ultra fast

[grizzled frost]

you could say that about any SSD based system

[native path]

but its apple shill time

[fickle ivy]

If I put my SSD in here if I knew where it was it would probably be faster

[deep musk]

Any minimally average ssd will beat that (according it’s not an absolute clapped to the floor one)

[mint umbra]

Need to play a new controller

[craggy cove]

even gen 5 drives arent 600 dollars for 2tb

is this including ones clapped to the ceiling?

Might just buy a ps5 controller

[craggy cove]

sorry i only have 1% drive health

how much storage do modern MBA and MBP even come standard with

[grizzled frost]

16gb, 256gb

256gb on mac is 1tb on windows

[fickle ivy]

I'm not sure that's how numbers work

[sinful cobalt]

wb mbn

[native path]

256

[grizzled frost]

MBP is 16gb/1tb
MBA is 16gb/512gb

MBN is 8gb/256gb

MBP starts at 1699USD
MBA starts at 1099USD
MBN starts at 599USD

[native path]

now this is the true apple shill

[grizzled frost]

I'm not an apple shill, i make sensible arguments for and against every brand

except alienware and HP, fuck alienware and HP

[native path]

nah just buy apple

[grizzled frost]

i'm being forced into buying a windows machine for school, so sadge

[deep musk]

Hp omen’s desktops started using standard mobos and psu recently

[fickle ivy]

Windows bad macos worse

[sinful cobalt]

i’d highkey be down to get a 19 series iphone if any of them come with 512gb default

[native path]

nerd out and build a home server, vpn in and use a vm

[grizzled frost]

if "conforming to industry standards" is a new feature, it's not a good thing

that's called the bare minimum, not a bonus feature

[grizzled frost]

They require a win11 machine to connect to the school's server farms

connecting to my home server/desktop, then connecting to the school's server from there is cursed asf

[native path]

oh yeah u arent using a vm from home to connect to school servers

[fickle ivy]

There's only one really good operating system I've used and it's only got 1 issue

[deep musk]

I’m not considering this a new feature, it’s less bullshit, not saying it’s good, just saying they are going from never in the human history would I recommend one of their system to potentially recommendable

[sinful cobalt]

“im the waiter and I think we can sell out 200 plates today”

“im the manager and I think we can sell out 300 plates today”

im the chef and I think they should all shut the fuck up

[deep musk]

Linux time?

[grizzled frost]

software is windows only

they have some proprietary software they use

running a VM on a macbook is listed as an option, but that sounds annoying as hell

[deep musk]

Awww lame, you can at least dual boot

[proven lava]

Classic, but you can dual boot and use windwos only for the bare minimum, for example matlab (goat) runs on linux

[grizzled frost]

for daily use, i do prefer windows to linux

[deep musk]

Vm on a MacBook sounds like a stopping life enticing experience

[native path]

its not too bad actually

[grizzled frost]

I've tried running a win11 VM on my MBA, it's a pain in the ass and very non-performant

[fickle ivy]

I was accidentally duel booting win 8 and 10 at one point for some reason

Dual

[grizzled frost]

win 8 and win 10 fight to the death

[fickle ivy]

I don't even know how to dual boot it kinda just happened

I accidentally dragged the wrong package in unity and now I have to wait for it to import before deleting it 😭

Now to drag in the correct package

[proven lava]

Let them fight and see who wins xD

[craggy cove]

i fucked up reinstalling windows once and i dualbooted windows 10 and windows 10

[median warren]

Love that

[proven lava]

Next step is triplebooting

[median warren]

Yes just have windows 7, 8 10 and 11 installed

Windows ffa

[craggy cove]

windows 7 on my i5-3470 8gb ram pc feels faster sometimes than my am5 windows 11 build

why are there so many animations in windowssssss

[median warren]

You can disable them, no?

[craggy cove]

probably

im a whiner

[median warren]

From whiner to winner

[solemn pewter]

Yup. Just waiting on a decent thinkpad to get it other than X1

[craggy cove]

oh now it feels clunky

[proven lava]

Legends say if you have all Windows versions you will get the ultimate windows, that is an actual good working os

[craggy cove]

probably cause im used to having animations

uhhh ill put it back on and keep whininng

[median warren]

Well then we better get more storage devices

We need the rest of them

[craggy cove]

this is why i stockpiled on 32gb ssds

(i have 3 of them)

[empty quartz]

Rookie numbers, i have 2 8gb ssd’s

2242 ssd’s*

[fickle ivy]

I'm so confused right now

Tryna do something in unity and the instructions say to do some thing and I have absolutely zero clue what it possibly means or how to do it

[loud iris]

choosing "reset this pc" on windows wipes c: right?

[bold olive]

nope

'reset this pc' removes everything except system files

[loud iris]

yeah
thats what i meant
like if i choose "keep my files" itll wipe c: but keep the stuff on my other drives right?

[bold olive]

yes

[loud iris]

im just having some issues with my gpu and overall performance of win so imma try to reinstall
will prolly go through ddu too

but i think i need to accept my dying card ;(

[bold olive]

it only touches C:, other drives require manual reformat etc

[deep musk]

If I remember correctly, it deletes everything that’s not a readable file and the system files

[deep musk]

You’re sure?

[bold olive]

yes

[loud iris]

ty regardless for your opinion! :)

[deep musk]

Huh?

[bold olive]

only place i could talk to israelis

[loud iris]

i meant thanks for your input

[deep musk]

Oh oki, me bwain is mushy today

[bold olive]

nah its also partially me not fully englishing

[inner veldt]

I’m using a 9800X3D with a 120W TDP and an RTX 5090. My system draws a maximum of 850W under combined CPU and GPU stress tests. If I upgrade to a 9950X3D2 (with a 200W TDP), will my 1000W power supply cause any issues? PSU is ROG Thor 1000P3

[median warren]

It should be fine

Although probably 1200w is recommended because of spikes but if your math is correct and it's an 80w increase, then you should just be on the edge of being fine

[rigid fjord]

as you can run pbo and tune it, you could essentially get it to run at a lower power draw so it's around the same as you're already doing, just note that TDP does not mean actual power draw

[cold skiff]

Always plan to pull max. So 160 on cpu for 9800x3d, 650ish for stock 5090. You change to a cpu that is a higher TDP. You can bet max is around 250ish draw for 9950x3d2

[rigid fjord]

rule of thumb = real power draw of cpu = tdp x2

[cold skiff]

Until released we won’t know

[rigid fjord]

true, but still, the general rule of thumb works til you're playing with a power unlock intel cpu

[cold skiff]

Yeah AM5 and arrow lake changed that a bit

[rigid fjord]

that's when power draw just gets thrown out the window

[fallow yacht]

• programs

[cold skiff]

Efficiencies are a good thing

[fallow yacht]

so u have to reinstall them again

[rigid fjord]

pantherlake changing it more than arrowlake

[cold skiff]

I’d estimate max for the x3d2 to be around 250-300w max possible power draw just based on current am5 CPU’s

Never gonna reach that if you just game though

[solar moat]

i think its going to be very mid

[cold skiff]

Probably. It will probably be the extra cache and not extra power draw demanding the TDP rating be 200w

If 9800x3d is 160w max power roughly I’d still expect it to be higher so I’d hedge bets on atleast 200w

[raven scroll]

What is a good price range for a solid all in one cpu cooler

[rigid fjord]

60-120

360mm thermalright AIO's are around the 60-80 mark

[cold skiff]

Picked mine up for £55.

My air cooler was more expensive

[native path]

damn i really shouldnt have gotten a liquid freezer

[rigid fjord]

an lf3 for sure if you're on amd

[cold skiff]

I was going to spend the extra money on that but didn’t want the pump noise

[native path]

i am indeed on amd this gives me more peace of mind thanks

[cold skiff]

The Thermalright I got is quiet af

[rigid fjord]

tbf i don't hear my lf2

[cold skiff]

Still need to clean out the now backup air cooler

[native path]

i dont hear my liquid freezer either

[cold skiff]

I know the lf3 can be loud even when at 80%. Probably luck of drawer

[native path]

i hear other case fans but not the lf3

[frail sequoia]

Would vlc fix this?

[cold skiff]

K-lite and vlc

[rigid fjord]

nope, but k-lite + mpc would

[rigid fjord]

mpc comes with k-lite tbh, so no need for vlc use

[median warren]

What is the quietest aio tho, like not the fans cause those can be replaced, I mean the pump itself

[cold skiff]

Probably something from bequiet, it’s kind of in the name for me

[median warren]

Names can't always be trusted

But good point

[rigid fjord]

depends on what you have the pump set at for speed, and between thermalright and arctic i'd say

[rigid fjord]

sadly, not that quiet

[cold skiff]

Genuinely only hear the pump on my frozen warframe at 100%, it’s not massively loud either

[median warren]

Well I mean there isn't much customisation you can do in terms of pump speed can you?

[rigid fjord]

you can have it on a curve or just run it flat rate at around 80% speed

[median warren]

Cause like I am building a server pc which will be running 24/7 so I'm trying to make it as quiet as possible

[quasi moat]

Holy shit I feel old

wtf

[median warren]

The latter sounds easier

[median warren]

He still looks the same as well

[rigid fjord]

depends really on the aio used

[median warren]

Well probably lf3

[cold skiff]

I just use 80% and at 85c it goes to 100%. If I’m gonna TJ max at 89 it doesn’t make too much of a difference but above 80c it makes around 1c cooler

[rigid fjord]

then you have a choice of cables it comes with, there's a 2 in 1 cable or 3 in 1

[frail sequoia]

Vlc fixed it

[deep musk]

You do not want an aio cooler in a server, get noctua’s passive cooler if you have the place in your case

[rigid fjord]

@median warren

[cold skiff]

You do if it’s style over substance and longevity

[median warren]

Ooh thank you

[rigid fjord]

there's an extra connector on the cable if it's also doing argb

[cold skiff]

I’m guessing those that report loud pumps are probably using the all in one cable

[median warren]

I just want to make sure it stays as cool and as efficient as possible cause the cpu will be running intensely constantly

[median warren]

Nah not needed, no rgb build

[deep musk]

Yeah, but they only a stated that it has to be quiet

[frail sequoia]

Holy letterboxing on the movie

[rigid fjord]

possibly, though it could be poor curve setting using the 3 in 1 cable

[deep musk]

If you put a 120 mm fan from them at low speed on it you’ll be fine

[median warren]

Hmmmm

[rigid fjord]

tbf, the build depends if it's an actual server rack or a homebrew in a normal case

[median warren]

Normal case

It's a modded 25 player Minecraft server

[rigid fjord]

then a definite custom fan curve is to be set

[median warren]

I do plan on doing that

It's in a microatx case too

[deep musk]

Yeah, but in any case (used as situation, pun unintended) you want reliability and aio aren’t really known for their reliability

[deep musk]

*when working 24/7

[median warren]

Aios can last a long time tho, like I've had an aio that lasted 8 years

[rigid fjord]

this bit is "fun", the other 2 cables are purely pwm and tachometer sensor wires

[deep musk]

Of power on time?

[median warren]

No, just 8 years of daily use

[rigid fjord]

that's just luck, average aio life span is 3-5 years, to do better than that, you'd do a custom loop

currently my lf2 has 4 years of constant power on use

[deep musk]

Yeah, that’s pretty different from being powered on 24/7, an air cooler will guarantee you a better reliability (especially if it’s passive) than an aio

@median warren which cpu is gonna be in your server?

*cpu

[rigid fjord]

nah, it's flu, he's going to give it bird flu 😉

[deep musk]

[rigid fjord]

at least it's not spanish flu

https://tenor.com/view/hiszpańska-inkwizycja-funny-pose-gif-13185102

[median warren]

Probably the 14600k

I'm debating that or the 9600x

[deep musk]

In an mc server???

[median warren]

For 25 players? With 200+ mods?

Yes

[deep musk]

Ohhh yesh, makes more sense

[median warren]

Yeaaah

Need the strong single thread/core performance

[gleaming rose]

why not?

[deep musk]

Cause for a vanilla mc server it’s way overkill

[gleaming rose]

ah

[median warren]

Air cooler sounds good tbh

[gleaming rose]

if you're doing air on a 14th gen i would go for a beefy air cooler

[median warren]

You guys wanna know a fun fact, ive had a pc since 2018 and built about 5/6 PCs in my life, and never used an air cooler not installed one before

[gleaming rose]

14th gets HOT

[median warren]

The Thermalright peerless assassin should be fine, but I was also thinking of the Noctua one

[gleaming rose]

don't buy noctua

[median warren]

The original plan was an arctic lf3

[median warren]

They're sexy

[gleaming rose]

spectacular quality, shit price to performance

[grizzled frost]

they’re great coolers, but really fucking expensive

[gleaming rose]

it's pretty much a slightly more reliable peerless assasin

[grizzled frost]

shit price to performance because the price is so high, not because the performance is low

[gleaming rose]

^^

[median warren]

Well they have a good reputation for a reason

You're paying a premium price for premium performance

[grizzled frost]

the difference just isn’t all that great

[gleaming rose]

the performance isn't that much more premium than any other cooler

[median warren]

I was also thinking of an ek nucleus with Noctua fans

[gleaming rose]

not enough to justify the price

[grizzled frost]

you’re paying 5x the price for like 10-20% better cooling

[native path]

cisco switches also have great performance over tplink switches

[median warren]

Yeaaaaah

[native path]

you dont need cisco switches at home

[grizzled frost]

which doesn’t equate to 10-20% performance improvement

but rather more like 1-2% performance improvement at most

[median warren]

You got a point

Noctua's top of the line fans are £30 each

[native path]

well you’re paying for the noise level not necessarily performance

[median warren]

I'll see tho

I'm tempted with arctic fans

[deep musk]

There’s the redux serie

[median warren]

Because of how cheap they are with 77cfm

[median warren]

I don't know the name off the top of my head but yes

[native path]

I need 2 more thermalright fans

[median warren]

Poignee will buy it for you

She said she has a lot of money to burn

[deep musk]

Never said that I’m even saving to go see my gf in Belgium this summer cause she has to go back, and visit the uk too

[median warren]

Trust, DM her she'll buy anything for you

She's just lying to get out of it

[deep musk]

[jaunty apex]

My nzxt kraken is getting old..

[median warren]

The cleanest looking aio on the market, nzxt kraken

[jaunty apex]

If I could see it lol

[native path]

LOL

[median warren]

Holy shit

Cube pc

[jaunty apex]

Love that case

[median warren]

It is a unique looking case I'll give you that

[native path]

id love that case as well

[median warren]

My case:

Took way too long to build it, it comes in about 80 different parts 🔥

[native path]

id get pissed off

[jaunty apex]

Mine, top and sides come off, the motherboard tray comes out.. The internal drive bays are kinda a pain in the ass but other than that I didnt hate building in it

[median warren]

You have to put on everything yourself, the metal legs holding the glass panel, the back panel to hide your cables, the GPU bracket(this one is in 3 parts), the PSU bracket, cable channels, etc

[median warren]

That doesn't sound too bad yeah

[deep musk]

Im rocking the qube 500 flatpack macaron

(Am using da pink panels)

[median warren]

Send pictures

[median warren]

Oh my lord, pink cheese grater

[median warren]

I did too

[median warren]

Oh another fun fact with this case, when I put in those big metal legs that hold up the glass panel, they were misaligned and the holes didn't line up with the glass panel so I had to pull them up/down to line it up properly with the glass panel and then force them into place once the glass panel was attached and lined up

Not sure if it was intended to be done this way, but that's what I had to do

[blazing oracle]

Quick question, does white or black header go to the motherboard from argb hub

[hallow jasper]

based on the color and writing, the white should be the connection to the motherboards ARGB header

but if there was any documentation for that hub, that would be where we need to look

[blazing oracle]

There is no documentation at all

[modest flame]

Question: how does a typical 5080 compare to a 3090 in modern 4K gaming?

I'm considering upgrading my aging GPU

maybe selling the 3090

[pure trellis]

@modest flame

Oh,3090 is that old that they removed it from list

[modest flame]

Where would it lay on that list?

[pure trellis]

I think,4080 lvl

[modest flame]

Some redditors are saying that 5080 4K raster beats 3090 enough to warrant the upgrade but that 16GB of Vram concerns me a bit

[snow mauve]

if you can get a used 3090 for a good price i'd still get it for ai though lol

[modest flame]

I don't do AI

I'm interested in 4K raster performance

I already have the
3090 but it's starting to show its age in modern 4K games

[snow mauve]

its a bit of apples to oranges though. i was just saying since 3090 is kinda out of the general comparison now its still a good buy if you can get it cheap. high vram though

[pure trellis]

4k AAA in general reserved for 4090 and 5090

[snow mauve]

i think the best 'bang for the buck' upgrade for me gaming wise is just the 5070rtx the 16gb vrsion

are you really gonna use it to its max though? are you doing like unreal engine stuff?

[pure trellis]

4080 slightly faster than 3090 in 4k , that's your reference point

[ionic peak]

Does this card have rizz?

[stray holly]

Not considering 5090?

[modest flame]

5090s are like $3K to $4K rn

[ionic peak]

4k?

[modest flame]

That's insane to pay for a graphics card

[spring latch]

average windows memory usage be like

[stray holly]

I got mine for msrp a few months ago.

[modest flame]

No longer possible

[ionic peak]

Use 196gb

[modest flame]

Like, genuinely

[stray holly]

Why’s that?

[modest flame]

memory shortage

[ionic peak]

4x the price

[stray holly]

When was this shortage start

[ionic peak]

December

[modest flame]

meanwhile the 5080 is still like $1200

so its tempting

[rigid fjord]

2020

[modest flame]

So I'm just wondering, if I mostly play games at 4K high settings, would I see a noticable uplift from a 3090 if I upgrade to a 5080

[ionic peak]

6 years 😭

[rigid fjord]

yes

[proven lava]

Its just using all the GBs you paid, how kind of Windows...

[modest flame]

Like what percentage increase are we talking here?

[ionic peak]

@rigid fjord Can this do 4k?

[spring latch]

I bought a dead RX 580 for the cooler thats how bad this shit is

[rigid fjord]

what gpu is that?

[ionic peak]

Gtx 1070 ichill x4

[modest flame]

Well, I guess i should also ask. I currently still have an i9-12900KF, would that substantially bottleneck a 5080 at 4K or would it be a GPU bottleneck at that resolution?

[rigid fjord]

then, 4k at like 2fps

[ionic peak]

Atleast 4k

[rigid fjord]

about 20-30% difference

[mortal mantle]

depends on game

[rigid fjord]

4k is gpu only

[ionic peak]

Minecraft shader and war thunder mid settings

[modest flame]

so 12900KF is still strong and relevant for 4K raster then

[ionic peak]

What is a gpu without 4k?

[rigid fjord]

i could do 4k with my 5600x tbh, just depends more so on what gpu i'd choose to do that with

[modest flame]

How much could I get for my 3090 on the used market rn?

[solar moat]

RIP slow ram

[south arrow]

Hrmm

[ionic peak]

Rip I got 3200

[rigid fjord]

about 600

[ocean axle]

Minecraft
Do you have the slightest idea how little that narrows it down

[ionic peak]

*1k

[spring latch]

not that bad

[rigid fjord]

nope, 600

[modest flame]

What if its an EVGA 3090, does that bump the value up a bit?

[south arrow]

Ebay they go for about 1k sheesh

[mortal mantle]

400 maybe even

[ionic peak]

Ye a game and unbound or idk top shader on curse forge

[rigid fjord]

it could. providing it doesn't have the fucked pwm controller

[mortal mantle]

ebay is almost always overpriced

[ionic peak]

Ye

[hallow jasper]

it was never added. RTX 3000 / RX 6000 was never re-tested when they upgraded their test platform (12900k --> 9800x3D)

[south arrow]

We have to take like 20% or ×.2 for fees

[rigid fjord]

@modest flame

[south arrow]

its soo frigging bad

[modest flame]

so someone did put it up for 700 and sold it

so i COULD get 700

[mortal mantle]

how does a broken card cost more than a working card

[south arrow]

So a 1000$ item for instance only getting like 800 then shipping

Its painnn

[ocean axle]

It's 13% fees iirc

[rigid fjord]

dead core but good vram

[ocean axle]

10% ebay fee + 3% payment processor feee

[valid stump]

AMD Ryzen 9 3900x
AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT
64 gb ddr4 ram
Swift 210
2 tb ssd

I got a question, what CPU from the 5000-7000 series would be most reccomended to upgrade to under 200 dollars?

[ocean axle]

You can't upgrade to 7000

[valid stump]

Oh alr, then w the 5000 series which one would you reccomend

[rigid fjord]

as it's am4, only 5000 series, and a 5600x/5700x

[south arrow]

13% feels like itd be more, its pretty mehh

[valid stump]

Tysm :D

[ocean axle]

14%, pretty close

[south arrow]

Still pain

[rigid fjord]

not to forget any other hidden charges

[ocean axle]

Yes, but it's not 20%

[modest flame]

Im assuming 5090 is lightyears ahead of even a 5080 right?

[ocean axle]

Notable that im counting out shipping cost

[rigid fjord]

don't look at uk vat

[ocean axle]

I'm in Sweden

[south arrow]

Its not a biggie still easier then selling in person, but means everything's inflated that percent by most sellers

Unless willing to take the L of ones time

[rigid fjord]

true, just uk vat is something like 21% currently

[ocean axle]

Sweden is 25%

[rigid fjord]

fuck that with a barge pole

[south arrow]

Ooofs

[ocean axle]

I agree

[rigid fjord]

sideways even, not long ways

[ocean axle]

I'm probably still going to purchase most of my electronics in the states

Main expense I can get away with doing that

[south arrow]

[serene python]

ryzen >> amd

[valid stump]

Which one out of both of these would be better for 3d modeling softwares and productivity / gaming?

[rigid fjord]

the 5700x will have more of an edge due to 8c 16t

[valid stump]

Thank you so much!!

[modest flame]

So essentially at this point

Yall think the upgrade from 3090 to 5080 would be worth?

I can get a 5080 for very close to MSRP

[fickle ivy]

Is the reason it takes so long for me to import packages in unity because of my HDD

It takes like 45m+ for like 1gb

[rigid fjord]

definitely worth it, you also have access to dlss 4/4.5/5

[exotic cape]

EWWWW a swede!

[rigid fjord]

at least no parsnip or turnips

[ocean axle]

Sorta wrong, I just got a job here

[modest flame]

I assume it plays alright with Linux using the proprietary drivers right?

[exotic cape]

Same here.

[modest flame]

I havent hit any issues with my 3090 at least

[exotic cape]

Oh, so you are a part of Sweden s problem then

[rigid fjord]

well linux's default drivers work for amd straight away, you'd have to check when it comes to nvidia

[modest flame]

Proprietary drivers work fine for my 3090

[ocean axle]

No, I moved from the USA

[exotic cape]

Oh god, that's even worse!

[south arrow]

Did you make it somewhere neat at least?

https://tenor.com/view/i-want-to-move-to-norway-gordon-ramsay-gordon-ramsay-uncharted-i-want-to-be-in-norway-i-want-to-live-in-norway-gif-19048262

[modest flame]

Looks like I can nab a PNY 5080 at Best Buy for like $1280

[exotic cape]

The country that's known to be gay... And IKEA.

[modest flame]

anyone recommend any specific brand of partner card of 5080?

[south arrow]

They just have nice features is all, ill probs never actually move. Too poor

[ocean axle]

Stockholm, because that's where the company is

[exotic cape]

Oh god, my condolences

[ocean axle]

I just sit at home and make game run fast

[exotic cape]

Meanwhile I'm making the snacks for the gamers

[sinful cobalt]

I wouldnt pay 28% above MSRP for that

If 5070Ti is still below 1K for you thats the go to option

ideally its below $900

[modest flame]

well main reason I'm looking at Best Buy is because i can use the 12 month interest free financing since I have their credit card

split my purchase over 12 months

[sinful cobalt]

financing something in general is something I would not encourage

regardless of interest

[exotic cape]

Klarna is fantastic

[modest flame]

I've done it before for my phone, didnt run into any issues

literally just paid 1/12 of the full amount every month for 12 months with no interest

[iron glen]

is this one of those sit around do nothing jobs?
like microsoft customer support?

[minor iris]

Is my phasesheet contact ok?

[modest flame]

and if I sell the 3090 afterwards id just put all the money into my credit bill

reduce my monthly payment even further

[exotic cape]

I'm down paying my S26 Ultra, and I'm paying $165 a month for 12 months at 0 interest.

I did the same but for an open box (excellent condition) google Pixel 7 Pro, split the roughly $500 purchase across 12 months

great thing about working for Best Buy corporate is that I still have access to retail systems. i can check the inventory system and see how long an open box product has been sitting in a store and what damage condition its in

Also the employee discount is pretty incredible

[south arrow]

I saw they had a pny 5090 last week for 1999 but must've sold out super fast never saw it go in stock

[modest flame]

when the RAM shortage began and 64GB DDR5 kits shot up to $1000, there was a short period where my employee discount still worked on RAM. I grabbed a 64GB DDR5 6400mhz Corsair kit for only $280

[ocean axle]

MCJE graphics

[modest flame]

Decided it would be worth it, my existing kit was a bit old and if it failed at any point id have been fucked

[latent pasture]

guy on reddit posted a benchmark comparing vulkan vs bedrock mc on their laptop
90% of the comments were about how since they dont hage a dgpu, they are invalid

didnt think you could be elitist on the most popular game of all time lmao

[ocean axle]

Any benchmarks of it right now aren't useful

[modest flame]

Redditors genuinely believe that if a person can't afford a dedicated GPU then they shouldn't be allowed to game

It's sad

[ocean axle]

I haven't done any optimization passes on it yet

[modest flame]

r/pcmasterrace is a cesspit

[empty quartz]

Just wait until redditors find out the 780m, 890m, and 8060s are all probably more powerful than their 13 year old gpu

8060s is honestly insane

[latent pasture]

its not once u realize how it works

[empty quartz]

Its a gpu with a cpu slapped on it

[ocean axle]

Mi300a?

[modest flame]

Anyways, how are PNY's graphics cards? I've never owned one before, but I'm looking at their 5080

[ocean axle]

Fine

They make quadros

[odd marsh]

it will perform like a 5080

[empty quartz]

Doesnt even support directX

Its also a 750W apu

[fickle ivy]

Why do things that seem like they should be simple have to take a billion steps

I've been trying to figure this out for like 18 hours now and I don't know if I'm anywhere near being finished

[empty quartz]

Anywho

[stray holly]

Just buy the 5080 bro

[modest flame]

Yeah I'm probably gonna do that

Just deciding on which specific 5080 I want

[empty quartz]

Buy an nvidia b300

[modest flame]

Ah yes of course

Alternatively I should just take the Quadro P620 I have in my home media PC and move it to my main build

trust

Deciding if I want one of the 5080s with RGB or not

my 3090 has it and I feel like I'd probably miss it

[fickle ivy]

I think I'm doing something wrong

[left dove]

fix your syntax

[fickle ivy]

I don't even know what that means

[odd marsh]

give it all to grok

[fickle ivy]

Why does this have to be so complex

[gloomy sleet]

i dont think windows is too accurate lmao

[fickle ivy]

I should just be able to download a file put it in a folder and use it

[snow mauve]

lol

[fickle ivy]

I might just give up because I don't even know what I'm doing wrong I'm just following the instructions

I got it down to 60 errors and most of them say "Error while saving prefab '_'. You are trying to save a prefab with a missing script. This is not allowed"

[sinful cobalt]

what models are there?

[left dove]

so just use github copilot to fix your code

[fickle ivy]

It's not code

And ofc the thing I need got its GitHub page removed 3 days ago so I just wasted 12+ hours of my life for nothing

[rigid fjord]

rgb only matters when it's on the display you're using

[rigid fjord]

wayback machine the link

[fickle ivy]

Idgaf atp it's probably not even gonna work if I do that anyways

I give up

[left dove]

so what is it if its not code inside of a somewhat obvious IDE

[fickle ivy]

Im so sick of this bullshit why does it have to be so fucking complicated

[left dove]

also github = code

[odd marsh]

https://tenor.com/view/basketball-meme-gif-5051779013126861108

[left dove]

and you're either in vs or vs code

[fickle ivy]

Let me just download a fucking file and put it in a folder it should just be as simple as fhat

[left dove]

why are you editing it in visual studio then??

like wtf are you actually trying to do

[fickle ivy]

Because it forces you to do that for some fucking reason

Like as I said it should be as simple as dropping a file into a folder but nope, it has to be super difficult for some reason

[rigid fjord]

probably needs something to be ran in vs code to properly compile it

feels like something you'd have to do for a custom firmware for a 3d printer

[wispy scroll]

How good is the Raspberry Pi AI Hat 2+ for coding? Would be quite nice to have it onboard too

[rigid fjord]

look up jeff geering, he has a video on it on youtube

[wispy scroll]

ight thanks

[fickle ivy]

Acting like I know what that means

[wispy scroll]

180 is just pretty rough haha

[fickle ivy]

This is so stupid, they expect you to know everything about unity

[left dove]

so use the BUILT IN AI to talk you through the issue

you have tools to HELP YOU and you're sitting in here dry-begging for help while being vague as fuck

[fickle ivy]

What built in AI

And if it's AI it's not like it's gonna be a help anyways

[left dove]

ok so you're just stubborn and high off your own farts

It's literally built into visual studio

[fickle ivy]

Idc anymore

[left dove]

cool then shut up about it in here

[red light]

Peyton is this windows usable?

[left dove]

its windows 10 idk what you want

[red light]

I cant wait to try windows 10 but I might get pc from shopping website

[left dove]

...okay?

what does this have to do with me

[red light]

It's nothing here so later

[fickle ivy]

Is it run locally?

[left dove]

You can make it do that, but I'm using anthropic's claude

why are you paranoid about locally ran llm for programming if you're just trying to fix a fuckin' unity issue

like there's literally unity plugins

[fickle ivy]

That it would take genuinely forever

[left dove]

You need to get out more ffs

ai isn't some slow thinker anymore like gen1 models

[fickle ivy]

You don't understand how slow my laptop is

I don't think it would be of any help anyways

[left dove]

so use a model hosted by someone else?? like how it's built-in?????

you can pay or use the free integrated models

like at this point you're moping to mope

stop it

help yourself with tools VERY EASILY available to you.

[modest flame]

Welp, I've gone and done it

[snow mauve]

i'm still trying to figure out what models i can get away with with my modest setup. i have like a 'bare bones' UI of stable diffusion. i have sd_xl_base_1.0.safetensors and v1-5-pruned-emaonly.safetensors. both are 'OK' at things but i probalby just need to learn to twist the nerd knobs and prompts better

hey guys, any idea if this kit is good? Acer not as widely known for memory as, say, corsair

[fickle ivy]

So you're saying I can just click a button and ai will fix all my problems or something?

[left dove]

prompt it. "hey, can you understand this project and help me integrate this file into whatever it is I'm trying to do?

If you tell it what you're doing, it'll fucking work with you

give it documentation, give it whatever it needs

[fickle ivy]

I don't even know where to find it

[left dove]

So ask google for help

you are literally brainrotting yourself by not thinking how to help yourself

[south arrow]

Its a neat tool and growing super fast

They all communicate to grow off eachother

In the deep backend

[left dove]

snrk

[fickle ivy]

Idk why you're getting pressed that I don't know about it if it's not made obvious enough

[left dove]

Because you refuse to help yourself and instead mope in here to anyone who'd listen

Like, life isn't just gonna hold your hand

[craggy cove]

this was listed for 120€ :o

[fickle ivy]

You certainly this this ai will and fix all my problems though

[left dove]

If you work with it, it'll work with you

explain the situation, ask what it needs from you

ai isn't this omnicient being, you have to feed it sufficient info for it to help you

[dapper light]

I open chat.
"Why is Peyton being so mean?"
I scroll up
"I think i wanna be mean too now"

[left dove]

I have good reasons

[deep musk]

almost worth it for the 1070 ti

[left dove]

you sohulda seen the public chat argument

peyton vs some french dude that doesn't understand how arguments work

[left dove]

also like, if you'd tell me what exactly you're doing, I can help you with a prompt for the ai to help you

[fickle ivy]

Tryna download a custom VRchat avatar and upload it so I can use ut

[left dove]

okay, so ask something like windows copilot how to go about creating and adding a custom vrchat model

give it the documentaion you have, give it the issues you're stuck on

[craggy cove]

gonna try and get it for 100€ for my brother

[fluid olive]

Is the i5 10400 still usable??

[junior merlin]

Very much so

[fluid olive]

How is it compared to a 12400

[craggy cove]

a bit slower 🔥

[junior merlin]

What are you trying to do?

[haughty compass]

Would 650w be enough for i7 9700 and gtx 1080ti?

[fluid olive]

Game

[craggy cove]

yes

[fluid olive]

Trying to pair it with a 3070

[junior merlin]

As long as you don't OC anything

[rigid fjord]

depending on the psu, yes it could be

[craggy cove]

id try to go 12400(f) but the 10400 is totally usable

[rigid fjord]

actually no, he could OC still

[craggy cove]

well they have the non k

[junior merlin]

Motherboard options for both?

[rigid fjord]

i see it, and go, "who poked peyton before she has her first mug of coffee?"

[rigid fjord]

b560 for the 10400 vs b760 for 12400

[junior merlin]

I mean for OP, what are their options they're shopping for?

[rigid fjord]

@fluid olive when it comes to mobo

[fluid olive]

I have an asus z490 thats just lying around

[rigid fjord]

that only is good enough for 10/11th gen

[junior merlin]

Oh, then get a CPU for that.

[fluid olive]

Should i just use the mobo or should i get a mobo for the cpu

I havw a bunch of incompatible parts🙏

[junior merlin]

Is this for your main rig?

What are we trying to accomplish here?

[rigid fjord]

if you went 12th gen you'd have to get a newer mobo as well

[fluid olive]

Yeah

[rigid fjord]

though tbh, there's better options than going for a 3070

[junior merlin]

Do you already have the 3070?

[fluid olive]

Where i live for some reason 3070s are common so i was just planning to go for that

[rigid fjord]

on the levels of 1 to death, how close are we to seeing you pile drive them into the ground?

[rigid fjord]

common because vram is the issue

[left dove]

like a 2

[fluid olive]

Dont know why nvidia sticks with 8 gbs

[left dove]

not everyone needs 16gb+ of vram lmao

[grizzled frost]

cause people still buy their cards anyways lol

[south arrow]

I just think its neats, only 244$ and plays all titles just fine. Lil backup gpu

Myte check temps and repad it eventually

[junior merlin]

I mean... if you already have a working board, and you're on a budget, there's not a big reason IMO to buy a whole new board that's only one generation newer. Especially when used parts for 13/14gen are such a crapshoot.

Either save a buck and run the 10400, or spring for a modern socket like AM5 or whatever Core Ultra uses. Don't take the half measure with LGA 1700. @fluid olive

[junior merlin]

Spend the savings you would have from buying a 1700 board towards a GPU or monitor. You're gonna see way better results that way.

[woeful phoenix]

https://tenor.com/view/ofergang-daniel-gif-25330530

[junior merlin]

Like, odds are you're NOT gonna notice the difference in CPUs unless you're buying a $600+ card

Like, I run a 5070ti and I'm on AM4.

[potent sun]

you clearly dont know me

[junior merlin]

No, but I know someone who does. (Two people, in fact!)

[bold kindle]

so when i turn on VRR, i can't use my monitor for anything other then 60hz in windows.... why is that. i had to turn it off for windows to be able to tune my asus to 240hz

it's the AQDMGR

[rigid fjord]

just no

does asus have some nice big program that i can fix my monitor and mobo settings ?

[grave oracle]

Yo, has anyone tested DMFG in COD/warzone? I already get like 280 fps in 1440p, but would like to get more out of my monitor with minimal reduction in frames. Won’t be home for another week or so to test and there’s not much information about how dynamic frame gen performs in competitive fps when youre already getting solid frames. Anyone have any experience?

[empty quartz]

Hello elijah

[rigid fjord]

nvidia moments tbh, 12gb on a 3060 then drop 8gb on a 3070 to then later release a 6gb and 8gb 3060

[potent sun]

[cunning sorrel]

Is the lack of CUDA really a complete deal breaker or is Metal/CoreML catching up enough for the dev cycle?

[rigid fjord]

it's only a bad choice if it doesn't make you smile after

[junior merlin]

I'm their tech support friend LMAO.

I spent 5 hours last night helping Michael with his crashing PC. Unfortunately not successful.

[potent sun]

I got to meet Michael last Twitchcon, have not met Mr.Venom IRL yet but will one day im sure

[empty quartz]

Want a 64gb 5 minute video?

[deep musk]

[junior merlin]

Oh you were there at Twitchcon??? I wish I'd checked, I would've said hi! Or maybe I did and just forgot?

I was in a big NCR Ranger suit, hot and dehydrated. Memory is a bit fuzzy lol. But if you saw Fallout New Vegas guy, that was me.

[rigid fjord]

dehydration does that to you

[junior merlin]

Many layers of leather in the California heat will cause that. I hit up the ice cream stand like 5 times.

[elfin solstice]

Guys i’m getting this instead of the 5070 W or L?

[deep musk]

I can feel the pixels

[dreamy aspen]

W

[elfin solstice]

It’s cuz of my cooked phone

[dreamy aspen]

i mean efficiency wise the 5070 is better but in terms of a pure performance the 9070xt is better, it's up to you what gpu will you opt for

[bold kindle]

it's so weird going from 32'' down to 27'' 😄

[deep musk]

0h okiO

[junior merlin]

If you want, next time I convince him to go to a convention with us I can let you know haha

[elfin solstice]

Why would you do that tho does the 27 have better resolution

[dreamy aspen]

you will* but whatever yep depends on your preferences :P

[elfin solstice]

I don’t use stuff like blender and people say 5070 is good at stuff like that

[potent sun]

will they be at Twitchcon EU LMAO

[cunning sorrel]

damn ignnored🥀

[dreamy aspen]

hmm if u want blender and other graphics rendering apps that utilize cuda cores properly and it's a benefit from having gddr7 then 5070 is the way to go but for gaming 9070xt

[junior merlin]

Ant definitely won't. Michael... we're unsure. He might have to drop money on an unwanted PC upgrade/repair soon, we're not sure.

[deep musk]

not ignored, just no idea about metal, it's so "apple like" that I never bothered touching it

[junior merlin]

Plus he's busy working on that secret project he probably told you about

[deep musk]

so I didn't want to give false info

[cunning sorrel]

I see, appreciate it tho

Anyone else that can help?

[empty quartz]

I think apple pro-res hdr might be the least space efficient video format ive ever used

[brave brook]

9070 has more VRAM than 5070. 5070 is the odd "bad" one i would say. No idea what was NVIDIA thinking giving it 12GB VRAM

[elfin solstice]

9070 xt has 16gb right?

[grizzled frost]

yes

[brave brook]

yes, both 9060 and 9070 series have 16GB VRAM

[elfin solstice]

Alright i’ll go with 9070 then

[junior merlin]

I really don't see why someone should go 5070 in the current market.

If you need NVENC just go 4070ti. You get 2 of them.
