[sinful cobalt]

yall peasants im gonna swap to 1080p480hz and use DSR to 5k2k to get 5K2K480hz

[kindred halo]

I don't even get to choose my resolution besides two options! The system makes the decision for me!

[sinful cobalt]

im in an entire whole nother world

[cold skiff]

I love me a 1080p monitor

So under rated

[gaunt spade]

1080p 17 inch

[cold skiff]

Best resolution for online gaming

So why not go native

[gaunt spade]

online gaming as in esports games?

[cold skiff]

That and practically any FPS or RTS

I guess MOBA also benefit tbh

[gaunt spade]

some games i would preffer 1440p atleast

[sinful cobalt]

go from 4K240>1080p480 mode then use DSR to go to 5K2K480 then use DLSS Super Performance so ur base render is basically back to 1080p upscaled to 5K2K

https://tenor.com/view/angelina-gilberta-arknights-endfield-cute-gif-10287523737689143680

[gaunt spade]

i guess bro

[median warren]

I give in

I did find something that I like https://www.overclockers.co.uk/samsung-55-g97nc-ls55cg970nuxxu-uhd-odyssey-ark-smart-gaming-monitor-mon-sam-01622.html

Energy rating G 🔥

[sinful cobalt]

ew get that VA slop out of my face

[exotic cape]

Hey its only €2500 here

[median warren]

I think that's just an oled privileged issue

[median warren]

Yeah I'd never spend that much on a monitor, no way

[ionic ember]

OLED superiority tbh

[median warren]

But it would be cool to have a big resolution to see more

[median warren]

well yeah it's better

[ionic ember]

I know it's better, I look at it every day

[exotic cape]

OLED is just overpriced garbage

[ionic ember]

This is cope

[median warren]

It is good but I still wouldn't buy one for how much they are

And I mean a good one, with high refresh rate

Give it a few more years, they'll be at fair prices

[ionic ember]

My OLED monitors don't have a super high refresh rate but 180Hz is enough

They were also $350 each when I bought them on sale

[median warren]

Like I've seen an oled from asus right

[exotic cape]

Anything over 165hz is just a waste

[median warren]

It's 360hz 3440x1440p for £1000

[median warren]

Nah I wouldn't say so

[sinful cobalt]

if it isnt 5K2K480 with very vibrant colours extreme flashing brightness with rapid smoothness and latency its trash

[median warren]

Linus literally did a video about what you just said

And they've found out that, it isn't

[native path]

ur eyes cant see past 60hz why even get over that

[median warren]

Again, oled privilege

[exotic cape]

4k isn't needed for the regular user, 1440p is more than enough.
165hz is more than enough for the regular gamer.
And OLED is overpriced for what you get.

[median warren]

What do you mean, there is a visible difference and feel between 60hz and like 144/180 or 200

[ionic ember]

Cope cope cope

[native path]

ur eyes are only capable of 60fps

[sinful cobalt]

if you can get a glossy nice looking fast IPS then it’d be good to make up but like every panel is fuckin matte

[median warren]

This is such a dumb argument, if my eyes are capable of 60fps then why does it look and feel smoother when I play at 150 FPS instead of 60

[native path]

im trolling

[sinful cobalt]

you’re only capable of 24 fps

[median warren]

okay good

[exotic cape]

And think of the wasted electricity on 4k 165hz, so many watts wasted.

[median warren]

No actually you're all wrong, you're only capable of 34 FPS, to find out more look up rule 34

[exotic cape]

The optimal is 726p 24hz

[median warren]

Yeah for a caveman

[native path]

726p lol why are we wasting money

[sinful cobalt]

simply lovely

[native path]

all that and a jbl speaker

[median warren]

All that and your desk is a mess

[grizzled frost]

a keyboard, mouse, and IEMs = a mess?

[median warren]

Look at that glass

He hasn't cleaned it, and I can see cables

[native path]

dude cant have some water? 😭

[sinful cobalt]

i had milk in it lol

[grizzled frost]

gasp cables!

[exotic cape]

What's wrong with that?

[median warren]

If you're gonna sit there everyday, make it look nice

[median warren]

I just vomitted

[sinful cobalt]

dude is giving his out his invalid opinions for free

[median warren]

Cable management isn't invalid

[kindred halo]

No actually you can only see 1 FPS

[sinful cobalt]

oh no iems on the desk is invalid guys

[kindred halo]

You just have frame gen

[native path]

i paid $100 for a pair of desktop speakers and now i feel above everyone who uses "jbl speakers" and "monitor speakers" for audio. heh... peasants. look at me, the audiophile.

[ionic ember]

OLED gang

[median warren]

I was joking

[median warren]

In the same way that having a JBL speaker is fine

[median warren]

Is this your desk

[exotic cape]

Yes

[median warren]

Then what are you talking about

It is a mess

[native path]

9950x3d and 5090 but bro can't hear anything

[grizzled frost]

How dare people actually use their desks as they want

[median warren]

I'm just saying, clean desk, clean cables, massively improves the mood and the look

[sinful cobalt]

the jbl speaker is supposed to be what I bring outdoors

[exotic cape]

It's not that bad

[ionic ember]

My desk is a mess but you don't have to see that

[grizzled frost]

okay actually i agree with tomi, clean that shit up

[median warren]

Are you one of those people that goes around blasting music at max volume at 11pm with a Bluetooth speaker

[grizzled frost]

that isn't messy, that's just dirty

[median warren]

[median warren]

It is

[exotic cape]

But I like being depressed

[median warren]

No you don't, that's actual cope

[kindred halo]

My desk is too small

I made incorrect estimates for real-world size before buying it

[grizzled frost]

https://tenor.com/view/stop-it-get-some-help-gif-15058124

[exotic cape]

I'm 26, I have 3k in debt, 5k car loans and a job. I'm fully depressed

[native path]

shouldve labelled it buddy

[proper gull]

Depressed because your debt isn't a multi hundred thousand dollar mortgage for a house?

[sinful cobalt]

i have it on rn bcs my right ear skin is bleeding

[median warren]

None of this is an excuse for not cleaning your desk

[exotic cape]

I live with my dad

[sinful cobalt]

im an orphan

[native path]

that deodorant lasts 72 hours you dont need 3 cans

[exotic cape]

They are empty

[native path]

you using them every 72 hours like the rest of us?

[exotic cape]

Every day before work

[native path]

this guy's extra fresh

[exotic cape]

I'm fat and sweaty

Anything over 20c and I'm boiling

[grizzled frost]

I take SSRI's, so i sweat like a motherfucker

the most common side affect of my adhd meds is also hyperhydrosis, and guess what i got

[sinful cobalt]

i sweat a hell lot like compared to others idk how they arent

[native path]

im not as sweaty now that ive learnt i dont need to rush through everything and i can actually take my time with walking to places

[grizzled frost]

20c hits and i'm practically pouring water out my skin

[native path]

but accutane's been fucking killing my lips

[sinful cobalt]

hell nah i cant stand being a snail

[grizzled frost]

My sweat doesn't even smell, it's just so much

[sinful cobalt]

https://tenor.com/view/mf-ghost-toyota-porsche-gif-8217962797287903079

literally me everytime

[native path]

me too but its a choice of do i want to be sweaty or do i want to feel clean

[sinful cobalt]

personally i need the airflow

its like a turbo where the higher the airflow the better the reward

[exotic cape]

I hate summer. I love winter

[native path]

i slowly walk to my bus stop, then slowly walk to work nowadays

[grizzled frost]

I love fall

winter makes my skin crack from dryness, summer makes me sweat like a pig, spring gives me the worst allergies imaginable, fall is pleasant

[sinful cobalt]

i love the rain ngl
cooler air and everyone is so slow

[exotic cape]

Dream is living with constant -20c

[grizzled frost]

(life doesn't like me)

[native path]

id love life at like a cool 13 degrees

[sinful cobalt]

i miss singapore at 20c with the rainy weather

[grizzled frost]

my american brain thought fahrenheit for a second, and was thoroughly confused

[sinful cobalt]

cool refreshing showers

cool air so i dont sweat

predictable af traffic

[native path]

55 degrees here u go

[grizzled frost]

Yeah i get it, i work with F and C a fair bit, but sometimes my brain doesn't immediately register it

[sinful cobalt]

https://tenor.com/view/arknights-exusiai-angel-confused-dizzy-gif-15630974669602071569

[native path]

ah

ive actually been trying to understand F better but idk how

my brain doesn't function with F

[grizzled frost]

100 Hot as balls but livable
0 Cold as fuck but livable
70 perfect

[native path]

yeah ive been thinking about it as like a percentage scale

0% = cold as shit
100% = hot as shit

[thin plover]

32% doesn't quite sound like freezing point thought

[grizzled frost]

Go above or below the scale and you're hating life anyways, so it works

[median warren]

Is video editing single core or multi core intensive

[native path]

heh it's... off the charts

[sinful cobalt]

actually wtf LOL

[grizzled frost]

32% is only the freezing point of water at sea level

the freezing and boiling point of water varies a lot based on where you are

[native path]

it doesn't but i stay in america at extended periods of time for family

[thin plover]

why can't Fahrenheit just have 0 as freezing point as well

[sinful cobalt]

flashback to when that one guy assumed when I was american

https://tenor.com/view/sparxie-honkai-starrail-honkai-sparkle-spank-gif-6638160262656647081

[native path]

"who cares about messages just use whatsapp, you fucking americans piss me off!" - him probably

[native path]

because they regularly go under 0C then the 0-100% range doesn't make much sense

[sinful cobalt]

“you americans think you’re the only relevant people”

-to a person who has never went america b4

[grizzled frost]

It does, 0 is the freezing point of a salt water mixture

[native path]

im so happy i bought a football this thing is so fun to throw around in my room

[grizzled frost]

biggest issue is people thinking of america as a single cohesive entity

there's more diversity between US states than between some european countries

some, not all, don't murder me

[native path]

it was like a $30 cheapo football from walmart but i don't really care it has the shape and has a "leather" feel and can be inflated and deflated i'm happy with it

[grizzled frost]

a football is unironically an elite ball shape

[native path]

super easy to grip with one hand, fits like a glove around your hand, travels well in the air with a spiral

top 5 inventions from america tbh

even has the laces for grip, what more could you ask for?

[tender relic]

caught massive savings today from amazon cpu 50% off for a 9600x
35% off a predator Acer Predator SSD GM-7000 1TB PCIe NVMe Gen4
and snagged 32gb ddr5 for 260
already saved 300 on my new build today is a good day
these savings may even pay for a gpu increase to the 5080 👀

[grizzled frost]

football is a really boring sport to watch, but man is it fun to just play catch with some friends

[native path]

im trying to get into baseball that 2025 world series was electric

unfortuntately my team would be the fucking nationals so my fun is gone

[tender relic]

amazon throws up random sales for like a hour i swear because i clicked back onto the item like 2 hours later and they were back to full price

[thin plover]

oh that makes sense

[grizzled frost]

They do tell you when it's a flash sale

[grizzled frost]

No it doesn't, don't delude yourself

americans hate it too, but it really doesn't matter the vast majority of the time

33 and 31 are both cold so it really doesn't matter when the water starts freezing fully

Delete this, it has your full legal name and order ID

[thin plover]

i mean, it makes more sense than it just being a random point with no correlation

[grizzled frost]

Friendly reminder to always double check every photo and screenshot you send online for PII

(Personally Identifiable Information)

[grizzled frost]

It's only really relevant for a solution with a specific salinity

it is extremely arbitrary

[tender relic]

i do have a question though if im using my pc for gaming and im no content creator. would it be considered overkill to go for a 5080 ? or would i be better served with a 5070ti or even a 9070xt ?
i only ask because this is my first build and whilst i have a grasp on basics this feels like a ~£500 range with minor variances

[median warren]

I mean you'll have more performance and more fps

[grizzled frost]

14% more FPS in 4k

[median warren]

So you'll feel the difference in more demanding title

[sinful cobalt]

yes. The latter 2 cards are generally better value

[median warren]

If you play stuff like single player story games where there's usually heavy graphics

Black myth Wukong really seems to stretch gpus

[tender relic]

well im coming across from playing xbox x so the baseline isnt very high 😂

[median warren]

Yeah even just the difference from Xbox series X and a gaming pc with a 5070ti is quite big

As setsuna said the others are better value but if you have the budget and can comfortably afford a 5080, why not

More performance more fps

Those 2 things never hurt

[fringe warren]

How can I overlock myself

[cold skiff]

I’d like to hope you’d see a difference between a 3060 with DLSS and an Xbox series x tbfh

[grizzled frost]

Cocaine

[median warren]

I mean Xbox series X is quite powerful for a console

[cold skiff]

Iroh. You know the way to my heart

[median warren]

But yeah pc is superior

[fringe warren]

You know who I am

[grizzled frost]

original recipe coca cola really hits the spot

[cold skiff]

It’s technically and by that I mean by technical specs, it’s more powerful than a PS5. However it does not perform as well as a PS5

[cold skiff]

I wish I was triple unc to have enjoyed this period of time

[median warren]

For most people it's good, very easy and simple, plug and play

That's why onsole is so popular, cheap, plug and play, 0 technical knowledge needed

[cold skiff]

Instead we live in a period of time where kids stab each other, there’s apparently more genders than items in the McDonald’s menu, cannabis has been partially legalised and computer technology is the pinnacle of the world. It’s a different world compared to cocaine Coca Cola.

Tbh I do like the Xbox and the notion of it. It’s technical design and what it wanted to achieve. It just however, lacked the success and appeal after the Xbox 360 due to a lazy team

I also expected the hybrid pc/console way before next gen too

[median warren]

Steam machine is the future

I've already converted one of my best friends from console to pc

Now to convert the remaining

I also feel like steam machine will just be that hybrid pc/console

[cold skiff]

The future would be more modular PC building

It was however tried and failed. Sadly.

[median warren]

Steam machines and laptops, consoles will always exist especially things like the Nintendo switch but discord and having the ability to access and all games available is too powerful

Whilst also being able to fine tune your games and mods and etc

[cold skiff]

The switch is probably the most dogshit console with dogshit games going

[median warren]

Yet people buy it and kids and parents are obsessed over it

You cant beat the mario and Pokémon franchise

Also not all games are bad

Mario party, mario kart, Zelda

[cold skiff]

£50 for this utter shit looking Pokemon game that’s out classed by £20 palworld? A billion dollar company outclassed by not even a million dollar indie dev?

[median warren]

Yes kids don't know any better nor care because parents won't buy a pc when they can get a Nintendo switch

[cold skiff]

2004 could have done better

[median warren]

Yes but you have to think that people don't look into it that deeply

[cold skiff]

Mario party hasn’t evolved. It’s recycled garbage that you never needed to re-buy. Kind of like FIFA.

[median warren]

It's fun to be honest

And family friendly most importantly

[cold skiff]

userbenchmark talks about with the “army of marketing influencers” when referring to AMD. Nintendo is the real master class that userbenchmark should aspire to quote

[median warren]

You have to think that most people will not think deeply about it, they aren't tech savvy, and they don't understand game development nor what tech is inside the switch, all they know is they want their kids to play a family friendly game that they can also join in sometimes and is relatively cheap

Relatively because it is expensive

[fickle ivy]

This internet bro

[cold skiff]

It’s not about that. It’s all about marketing and nostalgia.

[median warren]

But it's also about that

Marketing and nostalgia helps

[fickle ivy]

I hate 2.4ghz wifi it's so asss

[cold skiff]

Marketing Nintendo as a safe and fun gateway to gaming for kids.

[fickle ivy]

I have it set to prefer 5ghz too and it doesn't give a shit

[cold skiff]

My 5 year old is smashing out Roblox, Fortnite and GTA 5.

[rigid fjord]

all sports games are recycled garbage tbf

Don’t molly coddle kids with Nintendo. Teach them real skills and interaction

[median warren]

Hey mom can I get this £1000 gaming pc with a 9060xt and 32gb of ddr4 ram and a 9600x, and then can you give me £50 to play games on it and expose me to the unfiltered internet and discord

Or

Hey mum can you give me less than £500 so we can play fun mario kart

I just made something up but

[rigid fjord]

why not use the proper tomshadware link

[median warren]

That's the gist of it, from my opinion

[cold skiff]

Honestly I’m going to spend more than a grand on my kids pc this year

[median warren]

Good

You're a tech savvy and intelligent guy tho

[fickle ivy]

Google does that when you hit share

[cold skiff]

I may have to get him a 9060xt unfortunately

[daring crystal]

Because Google news gives me that

[median warren]

You understand tech and the world around it

So that's a difference

[rigid fjord]

then click on it and just use the correct link

[median warren]

Value too good

[cold skiff]

I was hoping to give him the 7800xt and replace it in the main rig with a 5070ti but they’re like £250 more expensive than before Christmas so that idea has gone

Hopefully Black Friday gives a good ram and ssd discount and I will see where I go from there

[cold skiff]

[fickle ivy]

I want my bread roll back

[rigid fjord]

this is when you fully charge her for the fix, then as she leaves yell out at the top of your lungs "dumb bitch"

[empty quartz]

Thank you discord

[cold skiff]

No, not you. You’re Ace, Ace. Smoke me a kipper, I will be back for breakfast.

Discord is like windows, its just spaghetti code

[rigid fjord]

been a long time since i've seen red dwarf tbh

[empty quartz]

How do you get the bread roll

[cold skiff]

Ace Rimmer is just the best guy that never lived

[rigid fjord]

so, enhanced flavored trout/salmon that makes you hungry for more

[cold skiff]

Is Katie Price considered a trout?

[sinful citrus]

Is the Crucial P510 good for editing and photoshopping with adobe software? Like will it be much faster than a WD black HDD.

[rigid fjord]

she might have a trout pout, but no

[rigid fjord]

any ssd will be faster than a hdd for editing

[cold skiff]

Any nvme is better

The P510 is probably QLC, it probably has poor redundancy. So it’s not a good nvme choice for heavy workloads of this nature

[rigid fjord]

tlc nand

[sinful citrus]

Okay, forget about that part 😅

[knotty bolt]

Wsp guys

[rigid fjord]

p510 = gen 5 version of p5/p5 plus

[cold skiff]

Is it actually TLC? Fair enough

[knotty bolt]

Alr i got a question

Got 3x 24 inch 1080p atm should i get a 49 inch 1440p oled?

[rigid fjord]

yup, it's kinda funny in that sense

[sinful citrus]

So would it then be a good option for heavy workload? For the price at least

[cold skiff]

I assumed the 10 would be QLC. Good old naming schemes having me over

Does it have dram cache?

[rigid fjord]

p1/p2/p3/p3 plus = qlc nand, p310 = p3/p3 plus and also qlc nand meanwhile p5 +p5 plus are tlc nand

[cold skiff]

A gen4 ssd with dram cache = better than a gen5 ssd without dram cache

[rigid fjord]

hmb instead, still as fast as going dram cache

[cold skiff]

But can cap out and slow down in heavy workloads loads such as video editing

[rigid fjord]

that's a misnomer in itself dude

[cold skiff]

No point in any additional speed you get on gen5

[sinful citrus]

Kingston G5 maybe a better option because its tlc and has dram cache?

[rigid fjord]

dram cache does hemp more with video editing and 3d rendering, as well as code compiling, and photoshop is one of the programs that will take advantage of that

[north hill]

today is hopefully the final day with my laptop

[rigid fjord]

look at a gen 4 drive with those in instead

[north hill]

by 12:00 AM Wednesday, a desktop should be running in it's place

[sinful citrus]

Ah okay, got it.

[empty quartz]

I could not go without a laptop tbh

[sinful citrus]

is that gonna give similair performance? or is it just not worth the price right now?

[cold skiff]

Thanks for this information. I don’t know what I would do without it

[rigid fjord]

photoshop won't make use of the sequential speed of a gen 5 drive, and the price of most gen 5 drives at 1tb+ = gen 4 drive at 2tb+

[north hill]

use it for whatever, it's public knowledge afterall

[rigid fjord]

by the same time i may or may not be drunk, depending on how i feel

[north hill]

i'll certainly feel drunk on power :P

upgrading from a 1050M (3gb) to a 2080-Ti is quite a bit i'd say

[cold skiff]

Calm down Ronald Reagan

[north hill]

a 1050M for 6 years does unspeakable things to a man...

[empty quartz]

Ngl, i have a pretty powerful laptop (for how much i paid)

[north hill]

to hell with laptops, they suck

never again

[craggy cove]

old and bad laptops suck

[cold skiff]

Yknow, pies suck.

[rigid fjord]

he's still better than trump

pie's alway lie

[empty quartz]

No politics, but low bar

[cold skiff]

Rumour has it he didn’t know what the Strait of Hormuz was or why it’s important before bombing Iran

[north hill]

i get that a lot

[craggy cove]

i mean "find the ronald reagan" on every graph is still pretty hard to beat

[north hill]

but having to service a laptop may as well be brain surgery

[cold skiff]

I can’t remember but I’ve heard that on an American show somewhere before being coined when someone was doing something stupid years ago

[empty quartz]

As someone who works on macbooks, its not even that hard to service a windows laptop

[cold skiff]

I don’t know much about Reagan personally to know why it was ever coined by this show

[north hill]

mine is somewhat repairable, but is still a pain in the ass to get open to change one thing

[craggy cove]

depends on the models but usually the only part that sucks is unclipping it

the bottom cover

keyboard and display replacements foh tho

[north hill]

a good portion of my case clips are broken lol

[cold skiff]

I always find laptops irritating to repair or open. So I just don’t do it

[empty quartz]

Suction cup 🗣️🗣️🗣️

[craggy cove]

im okay with paste replacements and cleaning it

ptm ftw

[north hill]

desktop cases? how the fuck would someone break that?

[craggy cove]

only suction cup i have doesnt suction

[north hill]

literal steel

[cold skiff]

You drop it

There’s glass on most also

[craggy cove]

glas

gl ass

[sinful citrus]

What would be good options? because looking through websites in my country, the ssds with dram cache and tlc on gen4 are roughly the same price as the kingston G5.
G5 is around 329 euros here, and then i found the kingston kc3000 for 309 and samsung 990 pro for 313 which were cheaper and had tlc and dram. Going cheaper, they don't have tlc or dram.

[cold skiff]

People put them on hard floors and glass go boom

[craggy cove]

tiled floors

[north hill]

pretty easy to not do that.
unless you're Linus

[north hill]

mine has none :P

steel panel

[craggy cove]

only reason i know not to put a tempered glass case on a tiled floor is because others didnt

[cold skiff]

You can also kick or knock over stationary objects

[cold skiff]

And if you do, you put it on carpet or a shallow rug

[craggy cove]

eh ive got it on a wood floor

isnt carpet not ideal?

[cold skiff]

Carpet is perfect

Just make sure your case isn’t touching it and there’s plenty of flow below

[craggy cove]

psu would get pure dust and hair

[cold skiff]

And Hoover. Don’t be a skank. Hoover daily

[empty quartz]

Tbh, one thing i like about where i live; lower humidity, so less static

[cold skiff]

If you’re a skank that does not hoover

[craggy cove]

daily 😭

[cold skiff]

Tbh I have mine on the desk as I got a baby still that can just tip shit in the top

[craggy cove]

my cordless vacuum kinda sucks (hehe)

[cold skiff]

In years to come I may put it back on the floor but it’s not ideal

[craggy cove]

wood floor seems like the best choice to me ngl

[empty quartz]

Vacuums suck

[cold skiff]

Proper wood floor would be very similar to hard tiling and you’d shatter your tempered glass

Wood laminate tends to have give in it to the underlay and I guess it would probably be fine. Never tested it tbh

I carpet tiled a cubby area of an old house which had concrete flooring and that was fine

[craggy cove]

eh never seen a wood floor be a problem

[cold skiff]

Depends on the type

One of the old houses had, was proper oak wood flooring.

Completely different to laminate wood tiling/sheets

[craggy cove]

true, i have some random laminate

[cold skiff]

I’ve never tested either but I would be hesitant on proper wood flooring. I’m sure it’s fine but it seems too hard to me to not shatter the glass

It’s why I cheap carpet tiled my cubby room for like £30 when it was just concrete flooring

[craggy cove]

i have been reminded to change my dust bags and actually vacuum

[median warren]

Vacuum check

Make a bot that reminds you to vacuum everyday

Worked 18 hours, spent 2 hours travelling and have 0 time because need to go bed

?*

Go vacuum, can't miss a day

[craggy cove]

i can clean a horrible hp xeon workstation but vacuum nahhh

[median warren]

Vacuum grind is real

[median warren]

I'll give you 2 cents per day vacuumed, trust

[craggy cove]

my dog being annoying also probably pushes me away from vacuuming

cant vacuum when the dog is sleeping snug yk

[rigid fjord]

oak parquet flooring?

like this ?

[rigid fjord]

what country?

[sinful citrus]

Netherlands.

[craggy cove]

sexy thing, took me a few hours to clean

most of that was gpu repaste cause the fan/lighting connectors just wouldnt come off no matter what

the header came off before the connector

[empty quartz]

Please tell me you have dual channel

[craggy cove]

so i just had to do it with the heatsink attached sorta

[craggy cove]

quad channel actually

[empty quartz]

Thank god

I only saw 1 dimm

[craggy cove]

2 sticks are under the hp memory cooler

cause ofc thats a thing

[empty quartz]

I think i might need that for my workstation tbh

[rigid fjord]

if 2tb then this https://nl.pcpartpicker.com/product/7RQcCJ/

[craggy cove]

ignore the sketch 2x6 pin to 8 pin with only a single 6 pin

[craggy cove]

its nice cause the liquid cooler is louder than anything in this pc so you can't hear it

[empty quartz]

6+2 pcie is literally just 6pin with an extra ground lol

[craggy cove]

nice to know

works without problems ngl but i did an undervolt just for fun

[empty quartz]

They can supply the same amount of power

[craggy cove]

58c full load now

[rigid fjord]

if 4tb then this https://nl.pcpartpicker.com/product/yfGbt6/ @sinful citrus

[craggy cove]

oh it just says to the gpu "im 8 pin"

bruh

[empty quartz]

Yes

[craggy cove]

3x6 pin rtx 3090 ?

[sinful citrus]

Why not this one with 2tb?

[empty quartz]

The power “rating” for pcie supplemental power is also bs

[rigid fjord]

the 990 pro technically works out cheaper if you get it direct from samsung

[craggy cove]

damn that wouldve helped me in my hp/dell days

[empty quartz]

How do you think old gpu’s pulled so much power?

[sinful citrus]

Ah okay, well the weird thing is, is that if i look it up on the samsung store its 640 euros....

[craggy cove]

well how old

cause they kinda didnt (atleast compared to now)

damn i can do more sketchy shit with power now

[iron glen]

hole too small

[empty quartz]

Yup

[craggy cove]

now it no worky

amazing

[iron glen]

shouldve had a smaller shaft smh my head

[craggy cove]

cant be my fault

[iron glen]

ive had a nice 2min of work i feel like ive earned 2h of assassin's creed grind

[craggy cove]

i come home to do fun work

[empty quartz]

@craggy cove with 50ft of 16awg wire, you can do 13 amps on a single wire

[iron glen]

i have an exam tomorrow 😛

[craggy cove]

no clue what i would do with that

[craggy cove]

eh ive barely studied for any of mine

worked fine

math one was easy after like a bit of doing old exams, estonian i just suck at (cant fix that), english was easy asf

[craggy cove]

nvm the monitor shut off after 5 mins

genius

[iron glen]

idk im not all that naturally gifted

gotta work a little harder

[craggy cove]

i see people failing the math one the most, theres a bunch of videos on how to solve the old ones

[empty quartz]

12x13 = 156
156x3 = 468w

[craggy cove]

the process is always the same, just different wording

[empty quartz]

A single 16awg 6pin pcie cable can do 468w @craggy cove

[craggy cove]

ok this is more than fine

only sketchy things are the molex/sata (especially sata) to 6 pin then ig

[iron glen]

its easier this year

[iron glen]

because they moved the exams

estonian is tomorrow

[craggy cove]

yeah since last year

[craggy cove]

idk only tip there is just keep the essay on topic

thats how i lost most of my points

you should see one of the old ipods dude

the hdd that was used in a certain ipod gen was as small as that memory card

[eager wagon]

Ok, yea, but i would like to find out which is the best deal. Samsung, xiaomi, google, huawei etc

[craggy cove]

like just now my i5-4570 upgrade with a old h81 mining motherboard

vga monitor shiny it exposes this whole weird room

pretty worth it for 3€ replacing a celeron

[rigid fjord]

tbf vga monitors had a curve to them

[lean flame]

what's stopping PC case manufacturers from making cool pc cases like this? i like cases that do more than the standard black and white metal box like even a metal box that comes in a fun color is okay by my standards.

[clear canyon]

Price and weight

[lament delta]

my phone is fine dw

[clear canyon]

There has been cases like that, they are heavy and expensive

[median warren]

Yes

Id say I have a pretty unique case (see below)

But like this case was £110 (which is a lot for a pc case) and it's heavy as shit

It's just chunks of metal

[terse pewter]

mmmmm fresh dust on everything

[median warren]

And well, I think most people prefer a clean box fish tank aesthetic

[median warren]

Indeed indeed

[gaunt spade]

give me this but in a special color

[median warren]

They have like 5 different colour options

They have it black, white, red, green that I've seen

And I think there might be one more

[gaunt spade]

theres nothing like that in my country

no unique cases

[fast girder]

Hey guys, I need help picking my wife a new phone.
I bit of a background, she has cancer, she will be sitting stationary a lot, she already got the Samsung Galaxy a11, she watching a lot of shows and movies but I thought maybe if she can have a good watching experience and having a phone with her it's less to carry, I can get the Samsung Galaxy z fold 5 for about $350 from eBay with a year warranty. I know other Chinese brands make folds. Is there a better value option?

[median warren]

There has to be

[median warren]

Ppfffff, I unfortunately don't know enough about phones to know and I hope your wife will be okay, I think the z fold 5 is a good phone for $350 but let's wait and see what others say

[gaunt spade]

nope

nowhere

[median warren]

What country do you live in

[sinful cobalt]

https://tenor.com/view/buzz-lightyear-buzz-lightyear-clones-copies-gif-22586949

[median warren]

Pov: you have a fishtank case

[sinful cobalt]

sorry the HS420 is too goated

[median warren]

I've literally only seen 1 other person with the same case as me after like 35 minutes of scrolling through battlesations

[ionic ember]

couldn't be me

[median warren]

Yeah it's a good case I agree

But you can't send that gif and own a fish tank case that basically looks like every other case

But just has a mount to show off fans

[sinful cobalt]

nah the HS420 is superior to your O11s

also this isnt getting the most love from me

[median warren]

Hs420 is an o11 and a hyte y70 combined

I love the hs420 btw

[sinful cobalt]

and a evol2 inside

[median warren]

I've considered swapping to it

[sinful cobalt]

it shows off fan blades the best

[cold skiff]

So it’s a good case combined with a bad case?

[median warren]

But Thermaltake p3 has been a case I've seen like years and years and years ago and well when I had the budget for a new pc I chose it

[sinful cobalt]

the HS420 is the goat of cases

[cold skiff]

The HS420 with those silly angled fans is just terrible

[sinful cobalt]

if you disagree its ragebait/straight up wrong/AI

https://tenor.com/view/the-greatest-estate-developer-loyd-gif-2622455882548728837

[cold skiff]

Remove the angling and you have a good case, but people think it looks cool and keep inefficient and terrible air flow

[median warren]

Well he sent a gif that basically implies that everyone has the same case, which is true but the Thermaltake p3 is different

[median warren]

Everyone here is either ragebaiting or being ragebaited anyway

[cold skiff]

I can imagine the hs420 is great for custom loops tbh

All that space

[median warren]

Yeah I mean a lot of cases nowadays have enormous amounts of space

[sinful cobalt]

[median warren]

It's just the meta, fishtank, 11 fan comparability, mesh everywhere, tones of space

[cold skiff]

I like keeping it compact. If itx want a pain or more expensive I’d go that way

[sinful cobalt]

HS420 is the goat of ATX cases no changing my mind

however Im now more invested into ITX builds bcs this is my atx endgame

[cold skiff]

The Hyte cases just look like disgusting big lumps to me though. Never understood how people like them

[median warren]

It's a good case yeah

But at the end of the day, there is no 1 goat of cases or 1 best case, because cases are literally just preference and aesthetics based, everyone has their favourite

There are just popular ones that people use

It's the same thing with owning a car, one person will say something different than the other, everyone is like "this is the best car ever, such good mileage and reliability"

And people say that about 10,000s of different models

[median warren]

Screen

[sinful cobalt]

“nice team, lets see what you’re made of!”
S2000
Cayman GT4
NSX NA2
G80
G80
G80
G80

[cold skiff]

My next build will probably be a Phanteks ultra XT pro just because it comes with the decent fans, it’s cheap and roomy enough for atx builds

[median warren]

Yeah and then my dad would go to that and say "naaah shit that, just getting a good old BMW or Renault Clio"

[cold skiff]

My pop air is fine but a little fiddly and need to buy extra fans on it tbh

[sinful cobalt]

i stacked vouchers and spammed P14 pros for my hs420

[median warren]

Like obviously reputation and build quality matters but 80% is preference imo

[cold skiff]

I put arctic p14s on the front and just kept the default fractal for the rear with the AIO on top on pop air. Works nicely

[median warren]

My Thermaltake p3 has a separate attachment I can to it which lets me mount an extra 3x140mm fans if I wanted to, either at the top or front but I didn't add it

So I just use the fans on my aio since the case gets plenty of air flow cause it's fully open

[cold skiff]

140mms didn’t fit top due to vrm heatsink hitting them

[median warren]

Is there no thin 140mm fans

Low profile ones you'd see on cpu coolers

[rigid fjord]

comparable to a 4000d af for airflow dude

[cold skiff]

Yeah and sticking an AIO in an XT ultra pro means I can shove 2 of the 3 redundant fans in the bottom and flip them for intake also

I do like the montech sky 2 fish tank but tbh, I want a more narrow case for a desk

[rigid fjord]

my mouth is on fire and it feels good

[cold skiff]

Pepperami?

[rigid fjord]

nope, thats mild

Any other opinions?

[rigid fjord]

grab a iphone 13/14 instead

[cold skiff]

I am not going to read your phone post and just say iPhone. For 2 reasons.

[latent gull]

does it need to be a phone if its primarly stationary and used for watching movies? Could a tablet or something not work better?

[fast girder]

She currently has the pixel 6 pro, and not a big iPhone fan

[cold skiff]

1 - people in here hate iPhones. 2 - easy to use.

[median warren]

I'm going to prove your first point correct, holy shit I hate Iphones, they are not easy to use

[cold skiff]

They’re so easy to use

[latent gull]

1. people in here hate everything

you can point to anything on this planet and someone in here will say they hate it

[cold skiff]

The most popular items in the market are generally the easiest to use

[rough salmon]

iPhone got fixed finally

[rigid fjord]

avoid "a" series samsunds, they're generally ewaste

[fast girder]

She already has the tab a11+ by Samsung. I just thought that carrying less devices might be better

[cold skiff]

Penguins. No one hates penguins.

[rigid fjord]

I have an Asus phone, I've never had a greater android experience

[lean flame]

i thought "Asus makes phones?" and then i remember the ROG Gaming Smartphones.

[latent gull]

there is nothing aside from a large pile of money that could make me trust an asus phone

[fast girder]

Do they make foldables? Anything with bigger screen?

[median warren]

What makes you not trust them

[median warren]

Nah and they're expensive and not a lot of them

They're not as widely produced and well known as other major brands

[fast girder]

I think I'll just order the fold 5 and hope for the best

[latent gull]

Theres always the option of a tablet with cellular

[lean flame]

There's Motorola. they brought back the Razr phones, but i think it's nothing like how the Razr was in the mid 2000s before the iPhone took over everything.

[median warren]

I love the phone version of Armoury crate

I can overclock my phone

Well, technically

[latent gull]

for what purpose

[median warren]

More fps in games, it's a gaming phone

[plain cypress]

It does not spark joy

[lean flame]

ditto.

[median warren]

It also unlocks 185hz refresh rate

[plain cypress]

How many fps in wordle

[latent gull]

supremely useless

[cold skiff]

Razer gaming phones

[median warren]

It's a gaming phone what do you expect obviously it's going to be gaming focused

[fast girder]

How big is the razor screen? Bigger than the average phone?

[median warren]

It has the highest score on all phone benchmarks for games tho

[cold skiff]

What makes it gaming focused?

[lean flame]

again for what purpose, Mobile gaming's lame!

[median warren]

Look at the benchmark scores, 185hz screen, overclockable, it has built in touch sensitive triggers that you can customise, comes with an attachable air cooler

And stuff like that

There's also a custom gaming interface you can open up during games and do cool stuff

Like turn off calls, adaptive refresh rate, uh customise buttons, macros, crosshair, etc etc etc

[plain cypress]

Because geekbench scores definitely tell you how a device feels to use day to day

[median warren]

And in this economy? 24gb of ram

[median warren]

I can tell you I've had it for over a year

It's the Asus Rog phone 9 pro that I have

[plain cypress]

I won't lie I did lust after the first rog phone

But now every phone is 120hz

[median warren]

It's got 1tb of storage, not needing more than that personally

I think 5800mha battery

It's fast and 0 issues loading anything or running games

Camera is obviously nowhere near as good as like an s26 ultra

[fast girder]

She doesn't game so that's off the table

[median warren]

There is a pixel display at the back of my phone

Which I can customise, and it will show me notifications and icons, and I can even play a game on it lmao

[fast girder]

Only watching like K Dramas and YouTube and movies

[median warren]

Yeah the fold 5 you saw sounds like a good deal

[fast girder]

Ok thank you

[plain cypress]

Idk what to say

I got old 🥱

[rigid fjord]

to watch the battery die faster while doom scrolling facebook 😉

[median warren]

This is just the armoury crate console, so this is where you can customise some of the phones features

[abstract wigeon]

THIS is the foldable i would want

[plain cypress]

I want the Samsung version coming later this year

[median warren]

Nah it helps in diablo immortal tbh, on battery saver it's more laggy

And on X mode it's smooth

[abstract wigeon]

i wish google had kept this aspect ratio

[median warren]

But this is with ray tracing turned on

[plain cypress]

For fucking real

I would be using a pixel 10 pro fold this very second if they had stuck to w I d e

[abstract wigeon]

1000000%

[plain cypress]

I need a sticker for my new work laptop

I was thinking 3 core ultra 7 badges

Then I will have the elusive core ultra 21

[abstract wigeon]

the wide had so much more purpose than a square dislay

[plain cypress]

Oh man

If Samsung applies the z fold 7 design but make it wide

[abstract wigeon]

actually bigger screen for media watching instead of big black bars

[ionic ember]

I just use a cheap pixel 9a I got used at a hole in the wall repair shop next to a firehouse subs for $250

[abstract wigeon]

i hope it has the new tech to make the crease near invisable

[plain cypress]

I don't think the crease is too bad

Tbh I'd rather them make it IP68 if I had a single wish list

[abstract wigeon]

have u seen the new oppo fold? zero crease

n7 i think

[plain cypress]

I think I have a high tolerance for crease

Although the best buy demo units may not be used enough for pronounced crease

Anyways I broke my screen protector on Friday

Been using my phone naked all weekend

Sometimes my front glass get really hot feel like been sitting in sun

[harsh blaze]

Is there some stupid process I have to do to an x370 board to support an 5700x

[iron glen]

im guessing its the same reason for why overclocked components need better cooling

more power = more voltage = more heat

[rose sorrel]

I wonder if just iphone thing

[iron glen]

no

heat is hot
no matter where you put it

electricity generates heat
no matter how you use it

[rose sorrel]

Oh okay

That's a fucking awesome quote

you could use the heat to light this candle

for me its ok when its a bit heating

hey all, recently put some of my old parts into my older pc, but now the windows doesnt boot (pc freezes after exiting bios).

I tried booting off a usb with linux to be able to see all the files and transfer them, but the main drive didnt show up while on the usb.

rn I have it connected to my computer over a usb adapter and it all shows up correctly. is there any way to fix this?

probably didnt need the aio

[frigid blade]

what GPU is it?

if shipping is cheap enough id genuinely just send you my 1060 3gb if its better than what youve got that ive got sitting around

[fluid igloo]

It’s just because he does designed he like he told me everything he needed because he tells me and he has showed me he designed stuff he like does 3-D modeling and he uses his 3-D printer I did not get him bad his grandmother did he uses that to print stuff and he said his old PC broke on him because it kept overheating

Oh yeah also forgot to say the GP is like a RX five 580 I think we’re 590

I only have an RX 580 4GB in my PC right now.
I hope that when I get some money, I can swap it for an Intel Arc GPU.

[frigid blade]

oh yah ur gpu is better than my 1060 hah

[fluid igloo]

No, that’s actually pretty queen build I like the graphics card but this one was just the cheapest one they had in Micro Center and my son’s actually saving up his own allowance to try again a 3070 like I think it’s the EVGA gaming one I cannot remember the name I am sorry I cannot remember her name, but he sent up his own allowance for that

[long cradle]

My motherboard supports 11th gen Intel CPU, so I might get one of those too.

[fluid igloo]

Yeah, I’m doing a 40. I’m just helping him out. He said he wanted to do AMD so I don’t know I build a PC like two years before it’s boring like 2014. I think you had like a 10 series card a 10 or 20 series card I can’t remember but it’s a EVGA.

Hey, I think my son’s bill has the 2 GB RX 580. He just need a graphics card because it said you didn’t have billing graphics then he told me he needed the AIO because he just needed AIO because apparently the AMD thing did not come with a core. It was true. It didn’t come with a cooler

[green shell]

You havent screwed in the entire right side of the motherboard?

[fluid igloo]

But oh that’s my son‘s fault for some reason he bought this case used cause it because it was cheap cheaper and he got it from his friend and his friend apparently took all the screws from it so he just found some he had to find some screws and he and he didn’t have enough money to buy screws so he just found some random screws at work so now

[frigid blade]

it will be fine without all the screws

[fluid igloo]

Yeah, right now it’s not like I’m moving. It’s not like he’s going inside touching it all the time I told I told him you can’t have the side panel open or that I have you only really needed help with the AIO because the AIO I got is a liquid freezer free pro 360 so it’s like bigger. I think it’s like 36 mm instead of 27 so I had to help him because it was heavier.

[azure topaz]

yeah i mean i get that me too but looking bsck i probably shouldn’t have had unsupervised computer access+ internet

[north hill]

2080-Tis are cheap

[odd marsh]

real

I saw horrors that no middle schooler should have seen

[ionic atlas]

ROSS. Is a very famous high end brand in the video industry. Expensive hardware. But it’s so funny that their UI is straight outta 2006 … now with AI https://www.rossvideo.com/ross-video-and-highfield-ai-partner-to-deliver-ai-assisted-graphics-workflows

who needs fancy designers

“Shit still works”

Claude did not design this , it can’t comprehend pre-iPhone design

[frigid blade]

means the prompts were bad

im sure if they tried they could easily revamp the whole UI to be more modern "with AI"

If it aint broke dont fix it

[ionic atlas]

The people who use ROSS in the video industry is clients who don’t care what it cost. Just want the best.

Like had a client come to us that used Ross. He did not care about frames, but he counted pixel shifts. “This can do 16 pixels delay”

[frigid blade]

are they older clients then?

[ionic atlas]

Would say most is 30+ yo senior video engineers

[frigid blade]

yah i didnt mean boomers, it makes sense

[valid laurel]

is this worth the money? i can afford it but at the same time even though i can, idk if i should spend that much on an arm. For some context i'll be using this for the Huion Kamvas 22 gen 3 so i need a lot of movability with positions so i can draw on it

[grizzled frost]

No not in the slightest, the hell?

[median warren]

I have it

2 of them

I wanted a monitor arm that made sure that my monitor doesn't vibrate because I had a real issue with that

[valid laurel]

now i'm confused. one says no while the other says yes

[median warren]

And well, 3 things I can about the monitor arm:

The brand is actually real, not just a random brand

It's high quality and extremely well made

Heavy and expensive

I've had the arms for over 2 years

Although I paid £140 each

[grizzled frost]

you can buy a decent arm for 40usd, 175 pounds is insane

[median warren]

It's a very good arm, I can vouch for that

[valid laurel]

this is what i have with my main monitor

[grizzled frost]

I don't doubt that, but it's still 175 pounds

[median warren]

Oh yeah I agree don't worry

[median warren]

Do you have any issues with it

[median warren]

I bought 2 for £140 but that's still too expensive

140 each

[valid laurel]

no, but not very flexable when it comes to the positoning, so thats why i need one with good flexablity with how it can be posed

[median warren]

The arm you showed aka the one I have

[valid laurel]

i would only be buying the one arm

[median warren]

It's extremely flexible and versatile

It can hold a 34 inch monitor in any position

It's got quite good adjustability

But you are paying an absolute fortune for it

[valid laurel]

the pen display i'm getting is 22inches

[median warren]

Pen display?

[valid laurel]

yes the Huion Kamvas 22 gen3

[median warren]

Yeah that monitor is overkill for any monitor up to 34 inches, you'll have no issues with it

Monitor arm*

[valid laurel]

if i was just getting a normal monitor then i would just get the same arm

[median warren]

Its up to you if you want to dish out that much dough

[valid laurel]

but when i was looking at what arm to get for a pen display, this is the one that kept popping up

[median warren]

It's a good arm

[spring raft]

is cardboard a safe electrical insulator to use?

[grizzled frost]

depends

[stark flicker]

Depends on the voltage/intensity

[grizzled frost]

at 5v? fine, at 240v not fine

[stark flicker]

Yeah don't die

[spring raft]

pretty much, got a broken usb port and my goal is to use cardboard to forcefully push the top lip downwards

[stark flicker]

it's fine

[grizzled frost]

should be fine

[spring raft]

ok ty

[valid laurel]

and is definatly worth the price?

[median warren]

It's extremely expensive so I'd just try to do more research and get something cheaper as it is seriously a lot of money

Like yeah IT IS but it's also 175

Like you get great build quality, flexibility, movement, control etc

But it's 175

[valid laurel]

this is the type of position i would have it in

[median warren]

Then get that monitor arm

[grizzled frost]

You very clearly want to buy the arm, so do it

[valid laurel]

not what i'm saying, i'm asking because someone might know of a cheaper alternative that still can do what the ergotron can

[hollow peak]

hey guys if i wanted to ask/speak about home servers what would the best channel to do that in be

[frigid blade]

cant you get that same position by just puttin gosmething behind the monitor and putting it at an angle

[quasi moat]

Hospital IT guys cooking

What a mount setup

[wispy thunder]

It's good but just get a huanuo

the one with the vertical post

it's often on sale for like 30 bucks and is as good

[tired bear]

clearly american hospital
that credit card reader is clear giveaway

[frigid blade]

youre saying that like the uk doesnt have them

[rigid fjord]

we don't have them at nurse stations

[tired bear]

https://tenor.com/view/credit-card-swipe-gif-10863986

[rigid fjord]

also, uk hospitals don't cause generational debt

[frigid blade]

sure but it takes months to get an appointment for anything

[frigid blade]

i have a buddy who lives in the uk he constantly complains about it

[rigid fjord]

he could have gone private with bupa instead, still wouldn't have caused generational debt

[valid laurel]

the one without the post seems to have more revews

[rigid fjord]

reviews on merchant sites are not worth the electrons

[dreamy urchin]

user reviews unfortunately dont say much

[hollow peak]

they also dont have top of the line systems

[rigid fjord]

that depends on what hospital you go to, many have specialists

[hollow peak]

im not saying doctor wise, im saying equipment wise

well also you could include treatments in there too

[frigid blade]

theres 6 million people in the uk waiting for appointments in backlog, thats wild

[rigid fjord]

yes, and with that it still depends on what hospital, like london has a hospital with specialised top of the line equpment for cancer treatment

[hollow peak]

trust me, the difference between actual procedures and treatments is astronomical, my father is a surgeon

[median warren]

Ia?

[frigid blade]

What?

[median warren]

Start of IA?

[frigid blade]

Industrial Action

[median warren]

I have no idea what that is

[frigid blade]

It was a strike

By NHS staff

And a whole bunch of other people in other professions like teaching

[median warren]

Oh that

I worked through it

Being in the health professional field

[hexed tapir]

Hey we only paid like $5k of our $450k ish bill in 2009 monies

My 40 day stay cost like $11k per day

[wispy thunder]

2nd one is really good, the first one is ok but the way the arm is from the base means the space under the arm is barely usable

[gaunt spade]

https://giphy.com/gifs/shaking-head-selim-helal-selimhelal-Yr9WZb9zxIz0aPAcLi

[snow mauve]

yikes

almost half mil bucks

[hexed tapir]

$703k adjusted for inflation dollars

[gaunt spade]

generational debt

[ivory mountain]

Takes months to get na appointment for anything in the usa too

This includes stuff that isnt the hospital like the dmv too

[sleek ibex]

The wait times in some rural areas in the US are at least that long..... And most of the facilities are often underfunded and short-staffed

[eager flare]

i have unlocked 4.2 petabytes of hidden space on my drive AMA

[tired bear]

[stray portal]

Yall i need a case for my samsung phone, should i go dbrand or esr?

[gaunt spade]

expensive

[stray portal]

Dbrand is kind of overpriced tho

[ivory mountain]

oh yeah ushie wtf i forgot i even had them added

[median warren]

They have good cases tho

[sharp ivy]

🥓

[median warren]

Half the size of ark

[stray portal]

Grip case serms nice but i want something transparent to show off the titanium blue color of my phone

[sharp ivy]

survival evolved?

[median warren]

Yes

[stray portal]

Their ghost case has black edges so seems not fitting

[sharp ivy]

no ark is half the size of DCS

[median warren]

If you add all the dlcs and expansion ark survival evolved is 400gb

[gaunt spade]

ark is lowkey a bad game

[median warren]

Low-key the new one is worse than the old one

But once you get into it, it's pretty fun

I spent 1k hours on it on Xbox

[gaunt spade]

super hardcore game

[median warren]

Super fun

On a boosted server, I loved base building

[sharp ivy]

I needa play more Ace Combat 6

[restive plinth]

Close to 230GB for now

[sharp ivy]

yep

I don't have any dlc

[restive plinth]

Wait which game is that

[sharp ivy]

Dangerous Corncob Simulator

[rigid fjord]

different game but..

[sharp ivy]

also known as DCS World

[restive plinth]

ahh
Mine is Microsoft Flight sim 2020

I want to install all the world updates but my SSD will be full after that

[gaunt spade]

playng fps games on a 17 inch screen is not optimal

[restive plinth]

Which game is that

[rigid fjord]

ghost recon breakpoint

[north hill]

i'm scared...

[stray portal]

Perfect balance for fps games is 24 inches

[north hill]

all of the parts are here

gentlemen, what do i do?

just start building?

[stray portal]

Used to have a 34inch ultrawide but had to go back to a 24 inch and now i cant go back, its too big

[gaunt spade]

bigger always better

[odd marsh]

what if I use a 42" screen

[gaunt spade]

i used to play on 27 inch

[stray portal]

Put on an ltt guide video and follow it, thats what i did

[gaunt spade]

10 minutes of admiration

[north hill]

link please?

[gaunt spade]

son

[stray portal]

i am such a gamer fella when my parts arrived I was literally shaking

[rigid fjord]

that's what she said

[sharp ivy]

take cool photo to flex your spec

[odd marsh]

wheres the flex

[sharp ivy]

I bet you don't own a 9800GTX+

[gaunt spade]

collectors part

[north hill]

flex

[gaunt spade]

poor cpu

[odd marsh]

[sharp ivy]

[north hill]

CPU is goated

[sharp ivy]

[odd marsh]

I've seen better

[sharp ivy]

[north hill]

FOR THE FINAL TIME, my laptop will be shut down

goodnight

[gaunt spade]

you should make a pc build guide

[sharp ivy]

gn

[north hill]

i will see you all when she is done 🫡

[hard parrot]

You'll burn it after or sum

[hard parrot]

Oooh, that's why

[north hill]

nah, i just need the SSD

from December 26th 2019 to April 20th 2026, one hell of a run

[hard parrot]

Since this channel is not dead rn, if I wanna ask a quick question to mods, do I just ping them anywhere or

[odd marsh]

I just don't see a point in holding onto so much old tech

[hard parrot]

No no, it's like keeping your old toys, same feeling

[odd marsh]

eh

[median warren]

Either that or landfill

[sharp ivy]

because it is fun and also if you are neurodivergent it is satisfying
