[serene python]

high cortisol brand new hardware vs low cortisol 7 yo hardware

[thorny saddle]

Average SP is 117-118 while 9950X3D is average 120

[solar moat]

out of box its higher clock unless its just sample to sample lotory that my buddy got

[thorny saddle]

Its not though

[solar moat]

lol

[remote swallow]

my steak too juicy my lobster too buttery

[steel umbra]

i recommend putting tap water into eaten jar of mustard and drink it

[solar moat]

are you speaking about stock max tubo being like 100mhz lower?

[pure trellis]

French Retailer Is Listing Defective NVIDIA RTX 5090 GPUs Starting at €1499, Once Bought Cannot Be Refunded

[solar moat]

or allcore in hevy load

[stray portal]

tubo

[thorny saddle]

That, but also, X3D cores do not thrive under load - the X3D portion inherently runs hotter, the average clock speed is not higher

[solar moat]

was for my freinds chip
and the bad temps where mosty fixed on second gen x3d

[rough salmon]

Good for Minecraft server? I’m wanting to have a home server for it

[remote swallow]

look for an intel chip if you can as it'll be more helpful iGPU wise if you plan on making it into a home server :)

[pure trellis]

That's APU system

[steel umbra]

works yes

[rough salmon]

Ooh I see

[stray portal]

Horrible description

[rough salmon]

It is? So it’s not a swappable cpu if I wanna upgrade?

[steel umbra]

2400g or 3400g?

[stray portal]

Alsi doesnt mention what ryzen 5

[rough salmon]

Fr

[solar moat]

both are shit

[pure trellis]

You should be able to do it,if it not locked OEM board

[rough salmon]

I could dm him and ask to open task manager for cpu

Cuz description is not helpful at all

[steel umbra]

atleast the igpu isn’t

[remote swallow]

but for a mc server maybe find something with a tad bit more ram

[solar moat]

mc server dose not care

[rough salmon]

I have x2 16gb ddr4 ram which this motherboard takes ddr4

[steel umbra]

it increases resell value

[rough salmon]

Do not rob me ty lads

[remote swallow]

ah thats fine ;p

[solar moat]

having a gpu dose that way better

[remote swallow]

i'd still prefer an intel chip for a home server

[rough salmon]

Lad, Minecraft server does NOTTT touch the gpu at all I don’t think

[solar moat]

fair the IOD dose love eaitng loads of power i idle

[rough salmon]

All u need a gpu for is to display the text 😭

[stray portal]

Intel is better for minecraft too iirc

[remote swallow]

^^

[steel umbra]

you get a pc for 55 pounds

[rough salmon]

Does intel support vulkan well? Cuz Minecraft is going to vulkan from open GL

[solar moat]

easy i done that many times

[stray portal]

Vulkan doesnt have anything to do with cpu only gpu

[solar moat]

i did not realy see any perfomince change on my 13700 igpu\

but i am so memory bound

[stray portal]

Vulkan is well supported on most modern system

[steel umbra]

worthwhile gpus start at 20 pounds with something like rx 560

[rough salmon]

Even a 2010 cpu can handle Minecraft 😭

[solar moat]

so if its taking same amount of memory thruput even if it takes less clocks it will not be faster

[rough salmon]

Besides don’t Minecraft only use one thread?

[thorny saddle]

X3D still has higher temps thus lower average core

[solar moat]

127 but whos counting

[median warren]

WELL, it depends

[rough salmon]

Like if it’s just for 4 players

[solar moat]

1.14.2 added more threads and then once again in 1.16 somthing

[steel umbra]

get the 55p pc

[rough salmon]

Oooh okay

[cold skiff]

Minecraft utilises clock speed more than cache

[steel umbra]

the ram alone is worth half that

[solar moat]

some what

[median warren]

Yeah for 4 players, vanilla Minecraft, it might

[solar moat]

but its more like the game dose not fit at all in cache

[rough salmon]

With 32gb ram I wonder how much mods I can put in

[cold skiff]

My 7800x3d actually performs within margin of error worse than a 7600x (1-2 gps average)

When playing Minecraft

[rough salmon]

Haha, I’m having a few heavy mods on it

[remote swallow]

not much as this will eat your CPU

[rough salmon]

My laptop I have rn, I have 16gb ram but the mobile cpu bottlenecks the ram gng

[remote swallow]

more mods = more cpu power not just ram

[median warren]

Yeah I was gonna say I'm putting an 14600k into my Minecraft server

[rough salmon]

CPU hits 100% before I even get 12gb used

[steel umbra]

mincecraft not liek cache that much

[solar moat]

there 2 main threads one dose all the redstone/players/mobs one dose lighting and like 100 others that do chunkloading/saving/gen

[remote swallow]

I'm running a 265K and I can max it out on 1 heavy modded server

[solar moat]

like 10 chunks allready overload the cache

fast memory it dose like

[median warren]

ive looked into it, i think the 14600k should be enough for me

25 players, semi heavy modded

[remote swallow]

why get a 14 gen?

[median warren]

its cheap for its performance in the minecraft server

[solar moat]

14900k is best cpu for minecraft its not even close

[remote swallow]

and yet i wont go near 13 and 14 gen due to the previous issues

[solar moat]

raptor lake has fast memory/core

[solar moat]

there been easy fix for years

[median warren]

those issues are fixed by now

[cold skiff]

Problem is that 14900k is likely to die inside 3 years

[remote swallow]

they say it's fixed

[solar moat]

intel fix is not proper fix

[median warren]

thats another thing i didnt get a 14900k and got 14600k instead

[solar moat]

but they cant make the cpu clock 500mhz worse after lunch and not get class action law sute

[median warren]

less power draw, seemingly more reliable

[remote swallow]

if a company can't fix it themselves i'm not buying it idgaf

[median warren]

they have tho

if you send your bad 14700k/14900k to intel theyll give you a new good one for free

[solar moat]

raptor lake is best minecraft cpu

[remote swallow]

okay and i don't wanna have that be an option in the first place

[median warren]

right and you wont

because youre buying it today and not on release day

[remote swallow]

i'm not buying it at all i'm quite happy with my 265k

[median warren]

well i know youre not but im saying if you did, you wouldnt have an issue with it

[remote swallow]

also as i use it for encoding/decoding the 265k is far stronger

[solar moat]

RIP just the blocks ausming render distance of 2 and they only like 128 block tall world/ ausming 1 B per block is allready 6.4Mb

[solar moat]

why not 270k?

[median warren]

tbh i might get a lga 1851 in the end, im a few weeks from buying

cause if the minecraft server doesnt work out, i can always slap a gpu in it and it becomes a very good gaming pc

[remote swallow]

pricing mistake at a shop so i got the 265K + MSI Z890 GAMING PLUS WIFI for about 250 euro total

[median warren]

actually i just realised something

[remote swallow]

and the 265k is already overpowered for me LOL

[median warren]

the 250k plus is better and cheaper than the 14600k, wtf am i doing

[remote swallow]

yeah exactly

[median warren]

although

[solar moat]

better is down to workload

[median warren]

power draw is QUITE higher

and considering its going to be running 24/7

[solar moat]

there 14600k is better in a few ways

[solar moat]

wait 250k or 14600k?

[median warren]

250k has higher power draw than 14600k

[solar moat]

https://tenor.com/bW8aHN1REu3.gif

[remote swallow]

250k plus has even higher power draw than my 265k

[solar moat]

no

[remote swallow]

at idle, yes it does

[solar moat]

are you running fully stock?

[median warren]

eh maybe it doesnt, it says the same power draw but i guess it also depends

[remote swallow]

no i am not running stock and my 265k is optimized for efficiency

[solar moat]

since intel pushing a few of the memory clocks way higher out of box that might be where some of the idle power going but also who runs a 265k with 2.1ghz d2d

[median warren]

so undervolted or something?

[remote swallow]

yes and even slightly downclocked

[median warren]

valid

[remote swallow]

truenas will run mostly on efficiency cores anyway and doesn't need much power for what i do so

[solar moat]

ok jts checked TPU and both 270k/250k have higher idle power draw by like 3W from the higher memory system clocks out of box

[remote swallow]

i'm running my ram stock as well lol

[solar moat]

dont say no xmp at ddr5 4800

[remote swallow]

i just have stock ddr5 and idgaf

[solar moat]

:

[remote swallow]

are you gonna pay for faster ddr5 in this pricing climate for me?

exactly, didn't think so

[solar moat]

wdym its like $10 more to get the good ddr5

[remote swallow]

yeah 10$ ontop of 350 euro is not my concern fam

i got my 64GB for 80 euro before the prices went haywire

[median warren]

minecraft doesnt really care that much for ram speeds, its mostly timings i think tbh

[solar moat]

RIP the kit i was looking at went up in price now its 525 vs cheapest kit at 498

[median warren]

[remote swallow]

exactly i'm not paying these prices bro so

i will be very happy with my 64GB of 4800 DDR5 for 80 euros

[solar moat]

the cheapest to allmost best ddt price gap allways been small

[remote swallow]

that is not the point chief are you dense

[solar moat]

can you send memory summary form hwinfo64

[remote swallow]

no i will not spend any more of my life on this conversation 😭 i'm gonna do something useful instead

[gilded imp]

I paid like 200$ for my 64gb kit of ddr5

5600mhz

AHHH

I FOUND MY ORDER RECIEPT lol

I could never find it at bestbuy or amazon or anything

turns out I ordered it directly from crutial

lowkey forgot they had a store

February 2024

now crutial doesnt even exist! I got that limited edition ram

[remote swallow]

this was for 64GB so like i can't complain at all and this was Nov 2025

[gilded imp]

🤨

used?

[remote swallow]

Nah was sealed and with 1 year warranty

and then whatever manufacturer warranty there is

pretty sure the guy bought up a giant lot from a liquidated company

[gilded imp]

this 220$ kit of ram is now worth almost as much as I paid for the whole laptopp

paid 960$ for the laptop lol

[remote swallow]

LOL

i mean thats what i feel like with any ram/storage i have now

[gilded imp]

fuck me bro

[remote swallow]

my game pc is 32GB and I paid like 90 euro brand new for it as well

[gilded imp]

actually insane, we live in such a stupid world

[remote swallow]

i think HDD drive prices are crazier than RAM

[gilded imp]

this is my exact kit of ram

[solar moat]

ok what ram?

[gilded imp]

I will only be buying used drives

my only use for HDDs would be for mass storage in a server and id be running some raid so I wouldnt be worred about a drive failure

[solar moat]

lol in canida the cheapest 2x32GB is allso the best

[gilded imp]

enterprise used SAS drives

[remote swallow]

this is mine but x2 now LOL (my 64GB was 4x 16GB sticks)

[remote swallow]

yeah i got lucky at work getting 12x 8TB for 50 euro total

they've only ran for 2 years and i'm only running 5 drives right now

[gilded imp]

fucking nice

[remote swallow]

so i've got 7 spares

i was running 8 but i didnt need the amount of space yet so downgraded to save on power

need to buy some static bags

[solar moat]

4x16gb IS SO BAD

[median warren]

this is my current exact ram, i bought it for £140

[remote swallow]

you know what's bad? your attitude

i'm muting you fam you negative nancy

[native path]

122 USD

[solar moat]

well i dont like ddr5 3600

[native path]

i so wish i opted for 64g

[remote swallow]

same

[gilded imp]

just put another 32 in

well, frosty can

[native path]

and i wish i got higher capacity of these

[median warren]

yeah

i was lucky enough to get a 1tb and 2 tb samsung 990 pros

2tb for just games

[gilded imp]

im so fucked though

my desktop is FRIED

[native path]

uhhh

[gilded imp]

I think my gpu is dead dead

[remote swallow]

[native path]

nvm its sold out

[cold skiff]

Fried?

[cold skiff]

You been dipping it in hot vegetable oil?

[solar moat]

https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B0080GKCV8 my ram cost more then my hole pc

[remote swallow]

[gilded imp]

I was having major crashing issues for weeks, super inconsistant crashes, different codes, different times, usually under a medium-high load but not always, sometimes hours between crashes, sometimes minutes

[solar moat]

#1027757333117415424

[gilded imp]

and now it boots up, gives me the snowflakes and other artifacting then just crashes

[gilded imp]

im not asking for support little guy

[cold skiff]

My tower cost £1450 to buy in 2023. Now it’s £1950.

[native path]

it sounds cooked gg

[gilded imp]

MSI 2070, cant afford to replace lmao

[cold skiff]

I priced up a 7600x/7500x3d and 9060xt. Lower spec than my £1450 2023 PC…. It was like £1550 today 😭

[remote swallow]

you're like the 5th person i know who's 20xx is dying

almost starting to look like a pattern

[cold skiff]

Of course there is a patter. It’s fucking old and not well maintained

[median warren]

ah i got warshipped

for sending 2 images, i fucking hate that

[solar moat]

some of the old micron ram had problem making them fail

[median warren]

hey you sent 2 images within 8 seconds, yeah youre banned

ill just post this then

[solar moat]

[cold skiff]

14700k gaming build in 2025

[median warren]

yes

[solar moat]

its not a new build look at the ram price

[median warren]

dude

this was bought in january 2025

[cold skiff]

Yes I know he said Jan 2025

[solar moat]

ah

[remote swallow]

i am convinced jjtb7 is a AI LLM trying to conversate from 2023

[median warren]

great performance

[cold skiff]

I hope you do more than just game

[solar moat]

14700k is very nice

[solar moat]

?

[median warren]

and my 14700k is one of the lucky ones

that didnt kill itself

[remote swallow]

i'm still very happy with my 7800X3D I got for 200 euro

[cold skiff]

Coulda got a cheaper 7800x3d rig with better gaming performance

[solar moat]

wdym? it not luck its called just dont run stock when it shoves 1.6V into cpu

[cold skiff]

Yet. It’s only been a year

[median warren]

yeah but 1 year without any issues and ive got fully up to date bios

[solar moat]

1.55V is still to high

[median warren]

i have not tweaked anything and its good

1 year 4 months going strong

[remote swallow]

that's what all 13 and 14 gen owners thought for multiple years

[median warren]

if it dies ill just get a 270k plus

[remote swallow]

why just get a X3D cpu man

[median warren]

because why

[remote swallow]

because they perform better fam 😭

[median warren]

the 270k plus is impressive for £300

and peforms well for its price range

[solar moat]

7800x3d get smoked in many cases by even a 245k

[median warren]

have you seen the benchmarks for the 270k plus

[solar moat]

the 7800x3d will offen be slower then 7700x

if the workload dose not gain much form more L3

[median warren]

£290

[solar moat]

270k is faster then 7800x3d

[median warren]

tbf i play at 3440x1440p so

[cold skiff]

It all depends on what you play. Modern engines take advantage of cache. Unreal 3+, hell, even gold source 2 benefits massively

[median warren]

£90 difference

[remote swallow]

just get it 2nd hand chief

[cold skiff]

Unity iirc isn’t the biggest improvement on cache but it still utilises some

[solar moat]

? you send a benchmark where thw 270k has higher lows then 7800x3d

[median warren]

why would i do that

[remote swallow]

and then i haven't mentioned this

[stray portal]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1340524555151741060/1491964341975519232/1_lv_0_20260410084837.gif

[median warren]

energy consumption to me doesnt matter on my gaming pc

[cold skiff]

A lot of in house game engines are rough and the extra cache helps with poor optimisation for processing. There’s actually, very few games that aren’t taking advantage of 3d cache

[median warren]

but if you look at the numbers and performance, the 270k plus at £290 vs £390 for the 9800x3d is just more worth it

[solar moat]

wow dose cyberpunk realy use more then like 8 cores?

[median warren]

better value

[cold skiff]

There’s a reason Intels smashing a massive L3 chiplet on nova lake

[remote swallow]

intel mobos are more expensive though (at least here)

[solar moat]

?

ah

[median warren]

ive found a b860 for £115 here

[solar moat]

i realy hope intel fixes the problem with having 2 tiles since amd not done it in like 6 years

[plush wren]

[median warren]

but if im getting a 270k plus id also get a good motherboard

[cold skiff]

Can vary region to region. Generally Intel motherboards are more expensive in most regions due to 1) having both ddr4 and ddr5 or 2) poor arrow lake sales and they don’t want to lower the price when Intel have on CPU’s

[remote swallow]

i would just much rather have a chip that doesn't draw 260W under gaming load compared the 100

[ionic ember]

The bosslady at work was complaining about having shitty peripherals at work so I got her an Epomaker TH108 Pro and nearly fainted from excitement the moment she started typing on it

[solar moat]

but 270k is more then 2x faster in many cases

[remote swallow]

https://tenor.com/view/crunch-cat-luna-eat-gif-3997701764820700221

[median warren]

i also like being able to do other things apart from just gaming and having more cores, even just for comfort reasons

[cold skiff]

I’m interested to see where it goes. Intel could have a great tech they’re working on. I’m no fan boy by any means even though I’ve only ever owned 1 Intel CPU myself.

[remote swallow]

LOL

[cold skiff]

Wish I had pentium in the Cyrix days for sure

[solar moat]

and in gaming a 270k dose not darw 260W

[cold skiff]

Depends on the game surely

If it’s using all the cores and going across all of the cpu due to the chiplet design, it could be using more power than expected. I didn’t think a 270k was 260w max

Well many not all cores

[solar moat]

at least 270k darws less power at low/idle load

https://tpucdn.com/review/intel-core-ultra-7-270k-plus/images/power-idle.png

[remote swallow]

it's not in a server you nutjob

[cold skiff]

That’s total system

Not the cpu

[remote swallow]

man shows 1 benchmark and it's about as useful as anything in the last 3 hours

[cold skiff]

I can tell you my 7800x3d is not drawing 114w idle

[solar moat]

fair but only thing not the same from both the system apart for cpu is mobo

[cold skiff]

My 7800x3d probably is around 26-28w idle

[solar moat]

wow that a lot

[remote swallow]

CPU power average on Cyberpunk 2077 is 140W on the 270K vs 75W on the 7800X3D

[median warren]

https://nanoreview.net/en/cpu-compare/intel-core-ultra-7-270k-plus-vs-amd-ryzen-7-9800x3d

[stray portal]

hmm good temps

[cold skiff]

Yes they idle high. Yet I’ve not seen it eclipse 58w gaming, it averages around 55w

[median warren]

considering the 270k plus is cheaper, yikes

[solar moat]

at least 270k is faster out of box

[stray portal]

should i repaste my cpu? its like 1.5 years since i built pc but i still get normal temps and performance,i also used good thermal paste bequiet

[remote swallow]

i'm blocking you after sending this you clearly are just shouting out random nonsense like "it's 2x faster!!!" 😭

[solar moat]

in workloads that scail with cores

[solar moat]

you set this and in this 270k is faster

[median warren]

even if its similar, £90 cheaper

and 24 cores vs 8

[remote swallow]

just telling you Tomi use an actual review site not something like this, i wont deny tho it's great value at brand new

[median warren]

sorry amd, but intel has actual competition

[median warren]

ye ye ik, i just didnt wanna spend time looking, got lazy

[remote swallow]

thats fair

[solar moat]

i love there marketing was saying oh 100% faster at same price point and it was not BS

[stray portal]

but arent intel mobos like more expensive

[remote swallow]

alos the more cores really don't matter in gaming much

[median warren]

nah

[solar moat]

corect

[median warren]

£110 for b860 and £160 for z890 here

so nah

[remote swallow]

thats not bad tbh

[solar moat]

to be fair i can get into game a bit faster since shaders comile faster https://wp-cdn.pugetsystems.com/2026/03/200SP_UE_Time_shader-fix.png

[stray portal]

ah so basically paying cpu difference in mobo id say thats fair

[median warren]

yeaah

[stray portal]

next gen intel will be better tho, this socket pretty dead

[remote swallow]

for me the power consumption is just a big nono

[median warren]

anyway only way im getting a 270k plus is if my 14700k decides to shit itself

which i hope doesnt happen bc like i dont want to pay money if i dont have to lol

[solar moat]

270k is not even intels best gaming cpu

[median warren]

250w it said for max, which is a lot yeah

[solar moat]

and you can masivly inprove power effinecy on both by tunning

[median warren]

but thats why i have a 1200w psu, for future upgrades

[remote swallow]

i mean even just the 50W difference in something like cyberpunk

[solar moat]

do you leave pc idle much

[sinful cobalt]

yeah i wonder what chip draws even 200w in gaming

[median warren]

tbf i do play a lot of story singleplayers so thats a good point but as long as my psu can handle it, it doesnt matter as we pay a fixed fee for electricity

[remote swallow]

i meant 160W in this btw soz misstype

[solar moat]

you must of miss configered somthing for 270k to draw that much in game

[remote swallow]

in the UK you pay a fixed price per kwh, you still get charged for the amount you use

[sinful cobalt]

unless electricity is expensive in your country it frankly doesnt matter

chase those frames first

[median warren]

well yeah, but i dont mind, it wouldnt be that big of a difference in pay and ill just pay it anyway so its okay

new topic

y'all like my minecraft server https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/r89jph

[remote swallow]

do defo think intel is doing a good thing

[median warren]

#free will

[solar moat]

TPU tested 270k in CP77 and did not even draw 140W

[median warren]

i do too, AMD NEEDS competition

[remote swallow]

tomi imma just be real why the nuctua fans LOL

[median warren]

more competition, better cpus and deals for consumers

[native path]

ah yes lf3 in an mc server

[remote swallow]

u do NOT need that many

[median warren]

quiet, reliable, performant

[median warren]

you right

its more of an aesthetic choice tbh LMAO

[solar moat]

or thread scheduling did BS things
but you can easy have same thing happen on many of amd cpus due to duel ccd

[remote swallow]

so are the artic fans

[median warren]

yeah but i feel like noctua has the highest reputation in terms of pc fans

[remote swallow]

especially the new pro ones, i'd prefer them over noctua at the moment

[median warren]

i am slighlty biased towards noctua, i like the look of the black ones, i want to fill out all the fan slots on the pc, so its a bit of an aesthetic choice as well

[remote swallow]

and they only cost 25 euro for a 5 pack :P

[median warren]

yeah ik, noctuas are extremely expensive

i admit that

[median warren]

effiency 🔥

[remote swallow]

i'd say save the money on the fans and buy a better CPU

[median warren]

efficiency*

[median warren]

dont think id need one tho, this cpu is more than capable of what its purpose will be

[cold skiff]

In theory it should be beating a processor from 3 years prior, really it should.

[remote swallow]

then save the money and put it into for example a bigger NVME

also you really wanna do aio on a server?

it's not gonna be running hot so you're better off getting like an artic 36

[median warren]

why a bigger nvme if all it will have on it is windows/ubuntu, and minecraft mods + server application

[median warren]

i love aios

[solar moat]

yes RIP 270k dose not even beat 14900k in games

[native path]

id throw it on ddr4 and save so much money

[remote swallow]

sorry the server build just looks a bit odd fam 😭

[median warren]

i think if im correct ddr5 helps with server peformance

[native path]

negligible

[solar moat]

very much depends on workload

[remote swallow]

for MC servers like barely

[native path]

are you hosting a server for hypixel or something

[median warren]

if you consider that i also took this opportunity to finally make my fantasy pc build, of a full black out pc, it makes sense

[median warren]

no no, 25 players, modded

[native path]

you can do ts on ddr3

[solar moat]

yes they mosly care about latacny and on cpus like 12900k you can get better perfomince with good ddr4 over ddr5

[cold skiff]

The other issue for Intel is platform tool. Changing platform and not beating 14900k for gaming in what will be 4 years before nova lake is released is not just unusual, there’s a lot riding on nova lake because of it

[remote swallow]

i mean that's fair but its still smart to be concious about what you're building

[native path]

i know a guy who runs a huge server (300+ players with custom plugins), he runs a 5900x and about 80gigs of ddr4

[median warren]

yeah i know, but best possible peformance where possible is good, i want to make sure everyone has a smooth and uninterrupted playing experience

[native path]

yes you can do this on ddr4 i can guarantee you this

[solar moat]

good ddr4 can beat ddr5

[median warren]

think of this way too btw, if it doesnt work out, i can slap like a 5070ti/9070xt in it and sell it as a gaming pc

[native path]

bro i promise you save the money and go for ddr4 😭

[median warren]

well then id need to change cpu and motherboard too

[remote swallow]

yeah but you're never gonna make any money on it due to the fans alone

[median warren]

to make it ddr4 compatible

[native path]

yes and you'd be saving so much money

realistically you can get this done for under $500

[remote swallow]

frosty icl tho the UK 2nd hand market is dogshit

[median warren]

i mean once you build and use a pc, youve already lost like 30-40% value anyway, because its "used"

[cold skiff]

Not anymore. Mine gained 33%

[remote swallow]

tried selling a 3070 for my gf in the UK there and it was the most horrific experience ever

[median warren]

ah yeah, ram and storage prices

[native path]

dogshit or not im sure you can get a mc server running for cheaper than £1331

[remote swallow]

yeah that you defo can

[median warren]

tell me about it, thats why i didnt even try, so i just change a few parts in my old pc and gave it to a friend for cheap

let me send you guys the build i sold to my friend for £500, he got a good deal

[remote swallow]

sell it to me instead ;)

[cold skiff]

Ram increase, storage increase, cpu holding price.

[remote swallow]

got you a minecraft server right here @median warren

[native path]

could even argue it's overkill but it works lol

[median warren]

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/cMwtph sold this to my friend for £500 about 1.5 months ago

[remote swallow]

you must be rich or something

[median warren]

and £250 of that 500 was used to buy the case, storage and aio

[median warren]

why

[remote swallow]

3070 alone is worth 250 pounds fam

[median warren]

yeah i wanted to make sure he gets a good deal

especially in this current pc market

[remote swallow]

yeah so you're very well off is what i'm saying if you can do that

[median warren]

he is my best friend of 11 years so i wanted to make sure he has a good start into the pc world (his first pc)

[median warren]

i wouldnt say im that well off, mostly just that i care a lot about people and love giving

Can enabling G sync cause the GPU to crash?

[remote swallow]

it can idk if that could be the reason tho

clean your drivers up and install new ones

[formal topaz]

i got drivers off 2021

i dont have any newer ones. Oh im about my GPU drivers

i got a 3080 ti from evga

[remote swallow]

your drivers have covid i think fam you gotta install new ones

excited the play this tonight tho

[formal topaz]

cant no newer ones

[median warren]

yeah get your drivers to do a covid test

[remote swallow]

yes there is fam

[formal topaz]

no bc EVGA stopped updating their bios

since they stopped making gpus

[remote swallow]

EVGA doesnt give your GPU driver updates

NVIDIA does

https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/drivers/details/267256/

[formal topaz]

Yes i know

i forgot the name. i had to specificly flash my GPU specific bios

Thats what im talking about

i forgot the term

[stray portal]

yo WHO is this guy trying to scam

[remote swallow]

@median warren

[formal topaz]

I need like a full GPU inspect to why it keeps crashing

ive tried so much and from day one it kept crashing my gpu specifcly

[median warren]

Tbh I don't

I don't go outside, I only go to work and the gym

bought me some esd bags for me harddrives

[shy arch]

Theres the b550m from any brand for 100 cad

[bold kindle]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/AA0srd44GNE important considderation, so would you reduce the fidelity by about 25% to get the experience in ultrawide?

more immersive, but looks worse.

[grizzled frost]

no

also 2160 to 1440 isn’t a 25% reduction, it’s a about half the total pixels

[bold kindle]

i was not comparing to 4k

comparing ultrawide to standard

[rigid fjord]

i wouldn't trust anything this guy says personally

[bold kindle]

it's not an opinion....

[rigid fjord]

he's well known for promoting bullshit like "bottleneck" calculators

[rich timber]

hey there you commented on my tech support post can you go check it i have posted what you had asked

[bold kindle]

that sounds like a good thing, you dont want ram or cpu to be a bottleneck

[rigid fjord]

it's not, it's absolute bullshit, it doesn't take into the fact of what would be required for different programs and makes a blanket assumption

[bold kindle]

generalization is useful, most PCs are built around generalizations.

[rigid fjord]

nope, it's really not when you're talking about bottlenecks

[bold kindle]

if you make a PC great at anno, it might be shit at cyhberpunk, but it's usually better to make something decent at both. or all 50 games you might care about.

[sinful cobalt]

why is there ZTT slop in my LTT channel

[rigid fjord]

it's an overused term and heavily misused in the process

[rigid fjord]

because kids fall for what he says

[bold kindle]

idk how your calculator works, so i won't continue debating 😄

[rigid fjord]

i don't use the calculator, i use experience and reading the specs instead

blud was gone instantly

[median warren]

I don't understand how people get hacked

Like surely it's not that hard to not just be stupid

[remote swallow]

it'd surprise you how easy it is

[median warren]

All it takes to avoid it is to just not click on dodgy shit and don't download anything dodgy

It's not that hard

[remote swallow]

it happens more than u think

[median warren]

It does yeah

[remote swallow]

and often it isnt just a link

[median warren]

Computer literacy is dogshit for the new generation

[remote swallow]

it's funny how the new generation is worse with computers like how does that happen 😭

[median warren]

There's some way that people are getting tricked and doing something to be hacked

And I guarantee 99% of that can be avoided with common sense

[median warren]

They're brain-dead, all they do is consume content and cry

[remote swallow]

digital literacy is not common sense tbh

[median warren]

No not like that, I mean like

[remote swallow]

it's just odd

[median warren]

"I don't know what this is, so I'm going to ask someone and not do anything until I know it's safe"

That's all it takes, THATS IT

[remote swallow]

i know a group of friends who all got hacked because a minecraft mod they used was compromised

[rigid fjord]

tiktok tech channels be part of the cause of this

[median warren]

What did they download the mod through

[remote swallow]

modrinth

author got compromised

[median warren]

Insane

I just use curseforge and research mods

[remote swallow]

yeah it can happen to anyone fr 😭

modrinth is so much better than curseforge

[median warren]

I mean I guess yeah, some steam games had viruses too

[rigid fjord]

common sense ain't common no more

[remote swallow]

common sense is knowing a lot of people don't use common sense

[median warren]

Honestly just nuke humanity, restart, we're all stupid

[rigid fjord]

common sense is suffering due to being surrounded by idiots

[rigid fjord]

remove all warning signs, natural selection will sort itself out again

[median warren]

Huge hot take, it is what it is

[flat cliff]

Going over all the information on the announced and unreleased, the hinted at or teased and fully released tool changers for 3D printing.

Today is my final day before my flash forge preorder expires and it jumps in price to one I am not paying. Can I past a pros and cons list and get input here see if I missed anything? Its gonna fill the text limit as text wall.

[rigid fjord]

sure

[flat cliff]

Its that time I have to decide buy the flash forge tool changer or not. Wish I had a few weeks to see the indx pricing or whatever sovol is doing to be announced and not teased but I don't so I have compiled information so far correct me if I am wrong on anything as tomorrow the flash forge jumps $200 in price to something I'm not paying

U1 originally came out, missed the kickstarter (long story) and is now $1k, though at least larger then bambu 256x256x256 (good for hueforge.) Solid 4 color printer with I think its 270x270x270?

The sovol thing is a 6 color with 2 feeders and likely on an sv08 max? (We know it has 6 spools and 8 tubes if you count the things in the black shadow) probably a CMYK+BW printer with two heads or something for blending and infinite colors, though the max is $1k with an enclosure so even if they don't enclose it and discount the max since its been out a while now, probably at the very very least $1k in price. Here is hoping (or not if I buy something else and then announce this) that they have a $500-700ish retro fit kit for an existing max or a regular SV08 but unlikely?

The indx, can be mounted on my existing sv08 so good for larger print hueforge, is not out yet either and if the founders edition kit or the prusa core one kit price is anything to go by a bit more DIY and at least $600 if not $700 for just 4 toolheads whenever they announce it will ship? (Gonna be soon on price but we don't know when the exact ship time will be when announced?)

The flash forge the non enclosed one is $650 for the non enclosed one or I think its $800 for the enclosed one but I pur $10 down on the non enclosed one less I can change my deposit? I can buy right now, is looking to be a decent printer and if I wait it jumps $150+ in price and I am not paying that. A solid printer but only 256x256x256. The same standard that bambu kinda set now (that for hueforge I wish was larger).

I miss anything?

[rigid fjord]

there's going to be others who'd learn from it, and can add some info

[remote swallow]

https://tenor.com/view/not-reading-allat-gif-11216013967469576578

[ocean sphinx]

1100 USD??

[pulsar root]

Yeah I think so https://www.reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/comments/1syacoo/incredibly_lucky/

The only thing is that the ram is not 6000 it’s like 5200 MHz that’s where they get you

Tho the deals are over now; the prices jacked up by a lot now

[jaunty apex]

Unfortunately, social engineering exists

[median warren]

Yeah tbh I was gonna mention that as well

[jaunty apex]

Less likely to work on me now but Ive been got a couple times from it

[median warren]

Just act like a paranoid schizophrenic on the internet, act like everyone is out to get you, you'll be safe that way

[median warren]

We all have

But we learn

[jaunty apex]

Concerns me more when someone gets hacked and doesnt know what from, how to recover their accounts and or doesnt know how to mitigate it

[median warren]

Yeah that shit is scary

Especially for them

I use proton mail, password manager and VPN, so it makes it kinda impossible to get into (obviously nothing is impossible to get into)

Untrusted links go through tor 🔥

[jaunty apex]

Took me a looong time to use a password manager outside of the one in Chrome, and when I did it was Lastpass like a year or less before their major breach because of someones outdated plex

I was still saving browser tokens tho at the time, I dont assume I cant get compromised still but I know that makes it a decent bit harder

[median warren]

Yeah there's loads of precautions you can take and steps to avoid it or make it harder but there's always a way

It's like the saying "If you think you're good at something, just know there's a 9 year old Chinese kid out there who's better than you"

[jaunty apex]

Hell every kernel up to before 6.19 is compromised

[median warren]

It's truly a never ending war

Yeah we have AI fighting AI nowadays

They're just spamming each other with attacks and defenses

ultrawide looks worse per pixel then the standard resolution, because you have to tune down settings, or get worse fps, because ultrawide has more pixels and is then more taxing on the gpu.

[median warren]

Get a better GPU, GG

[remote swallow]

Geepeeyuu

[median warren]

My 4080 super runs a 34 inch ultrawide at 3440x1440p perfectly

“more taxing on the gpu” skill issue

[terse pewter]

just get better pc lol

[jaunty apex]

Yeah thats a big "depends on the hardware" rather than a monitor issue

VR is supposed to be more intensive anyway and thats been on the consumer side since like 2017

hi guys, i have a problem

[median warren]

British fuel prices rn (diesel)

[ocean axle]

can i get that in freedoms?

[ivory mountain]

54 us dollars for 5.6 gallons

[ocean axle]

oof

[ivory mountain]

aka almost $10/gal for diesel

[ocean axle]

i can do that division in my head

[frigid blade]

That’s twice as much

[ivory mountain]

idk man its the LTT discord u can never be sure

[ocean axle]

fair

[frigid blade]

Damn in Cali diesel is $7.50

Crazy

[median warren]

But then again, everyone drives super efficient cars here

[frigid blade]

So it offsets nothing hah

What a waste

[latent gull]

Ours is still only 3.89, they’re really trying their hardest to not be the first gas station over 4$ here, everyone’s creeping up to 4$ but no one will go over it :p

[median warren]

Full of hybrids and small 1.2-2.0 liter turbod engines, that can do 60mpg

[ivory mountain]

none of my cars are under 35mpg and they take regular which is $4 a gallon now but used to be $2

[ocean axle]

sounds like you desperate need of 5.2L of supercharged freedom

[frigid blade]

Yah on highway

[median warren]

Some do have that, when I say some I mean 1 in every 1 million

Because the insurance prices go up MASSIVELY the bigger your engine is, and the more power you have

[ivory mountain]

my uncle js bought a hellcat redeye like a year ago off someone, 800 american horses

[frigid blade]

Need a Prius

[latent gull]

You need the 8.2l v8 from Cadillac

[ocean axle]

i was citing the F150's 720hp 5.2L V8

[frigid blade]

Idk, I already hate it here in Illinois, sometimes I wish I grew up in a hillbilly state and lived a quiet life in the sticks

Everything is way higher priced than around us

[latent gull]

Yeah but that gets you a whole 720hp, why would you do that when Cadillacs 8.2l v8 gets you a whole 190hp

[frigid blade]

Gonna have some crazy torque

[ocean axle]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GgBWpbborxA

[frigid blade]

Oh, that was literally just because of emissions regulations

That same engine did 400+ before that

you got a good deal

when an aio screen is higher res than your monitor....

Any (ideally free) easy to use software to merge a phone video with a computer audio? Tyvm!!

[restive plinth]

Video editor to merge a Video recorded in phone along with an audio existing in the computer?

[red bluff]

Yes!

Im thinking adobe premiere is such an overkill for what I want to do, just basic clipping and syncing (audio with video)

[plain cypress]

Davinci resolve is free

[red bluff]

But I need something 'offline' that I could use on a laptop

[restive plinth]

Even Clipchamp works for you

[plain cypress]

And cross platform

[drowsy isle]

legendary find on the used market

[red bluff]

Oh, lemme check that! (Clipchamp is online 🙁 )

[restive plinth]

Yep clipchamp is online
But it's good for these basic stuff

Check out the other thing though

[red bluff]

Any limit on davinci resolve 'free' vs the paid one?

[plain cypress]

No 4k export

There's some other limits
But if your main goal is "I have a video file and an audio file and I want to put them together", resolve will work fine

[remote swallow]

cool idea, refunded it. still hate these type of street fighter games LOL i'll watch the story mode on YouTube @iron glen

If you want to do Hollywood level color editing, then you need to pay for studio I think

idk i'm so good at almost every game and the second i try a street fighter game i just can't do it (probably because i suck at controller)

yeah fair enough so what are you gonna do with the 50 euros

[plain cypress]

They just want to know what the difference between free and studio is and for some reason I'm telling them instead of saying "surely they provide a tidy little chart that literally shows all the differences"

[remote swallow]

nothing

[median warren]

youre just gonna let 50 euros sit in your account?

also, if i buy you a game will you come and play it with me

its back 4 blood

do you guys think news article people are sitting around believing that apple needs to release a new ai product

[grizzled frost]

do you think news article people are actually reasonable, conscious, logical human beings?

[agile stag]

i dont even know if theyre human beings anymore

theyre insane though

my dream in the tech space are apple products that cant overheat and laptop hinges that dont explode after a few years

[winged sky]

Dis my laptop :3

[grizzled frost]

apple intentionally doesn’t overbuild cooling solutions, because it allows it to be thinner

[deep musk]

hyfetch? >w<

[winged sky]

Indeed, best fetch

[deep musk]

yesshshhshs

[winged sky]

God I love my dell latitude

[agile stag]

it should be able to cool itself at full steam though

instead of failing to do that

gaming pc people have to step in and be like "ok fine lets try and keep it under 85c"

[agile stag]

my main laptop i think is a thinkpad p50 but it does everything and has everything more or less other than a cd burner

otherwise though it has a huge battery and storage and ports and performance and a lot of ram and its built like a tank

and the hinges arent flawed by design

[grizzled frost]

they build as much cooling as they can in the form factor, then give you as much performance as they can, i don’t see the issue

[agile stag]

they thermal throttle which seems not ideal

in my head thats always been the standard for an inadequate system and i do get that theyre very efficient all of the time but it should still be able to handle itself

the heat cant help things either uh 115c or whatever they raised the limit to

[winged sky]

This thing is fully loaded, the battery is a little meh but its got a beefy cpu and a discrete gpu. It has dual ram slots, none of that soldered crap, and it is also built like a tank, has a touchscreen, and a backlit keyboard. Anf the hinges feel sturdy af. These pics ar from the day I got it

[grizzled frost]

thermal throttling isn’t as big of an issue on apple silicon as desktops

[agile stag]

it looks like the hinges screw into a metal bracket that then connects to some plastics or metal or whatever so you're safe compared to the evils that other models/companies have

ive seen metal shell laptops that then have plastic internal bracing with standoffs anchored in plastic and those wear out of the plastic and eventually your laptop ends up in two pieces

it does otherwise look pretty solid though, my thinkpad is a lot bigger but it has 4 ram slots and room for up to* 4 ssds but otherwise its just very solid

[agile stag]

i suppose but i still feel like it shouldnt be able to happen on a well designed device

what if i want to play fortnite

[grizzled frost]

it being allowed to use its full thermal headroom is a well designed device

[agile stag]

must i go outside where its colder to get enough temp difference to cool my laptop

[grizzled frost]

Maybe don’t use a macbook air then?

[agile stag]

i dont but theres probably at least a thousand people who have

[grizzled frost]

That’s unfortunate

[agile stag]

its just evil in my mind but ill keep praying on their downfall

[grizzled frost]

Evil to allow for a device to perform as much as it can given a limited volume for cooling?

[agile stag]

yes

[grizzled frost]

Cool, so they should throttle the performance?

[agile stag]

i had a later intel mba(not dailied but acquired) at some point and that thing was so irresponsibly cooled i felt bad even letting it exist near me

[agile stag]

im pretty sure they do

i just want some more metal or something

[grizzled frost]

good thing they don’t use intel x86 anymore

[agile stag]

or some better fan or intake/exhaust

[grizzled frost]

would have to add volume, which would detract from the form factor that is so popular

also MBA don’t have an intake or exhaust, only pro models

[agile stag]

i know but the apple silicone ones also still get themselves super hot

they just dont idle at like 60 and hit 100 on like chess or something

[agile stag]

a bigger heatsink or something could be neat or even if they had some method to use the frame better

[grizzled frost]

they aren’t thermal throttling playing chess

[agile stag]

mine hit 100c too often when opening things

[grizzled frost]

they already do use the frame as a heatsink, and they already fill the interior

[grizzled frost]

intel macbook?

[agile stag]

yeah

[grizzled frost]

Cool, so entirely irrelevant in a conversation about M series macbooks

[agile stag]

anyways i think apple needs to focus on their cooling if they want to break my image of them

make something that cant throttle

[agile stag]

its apple lore

[grizzled frost]

literally the only way to do that would be to increase the size quite a bit, which would diminish the form factor that people enjoy about apple

one of the biggest selling points is the thinness

[agile stag]

i dont think its the form factor i think it might just be the ecosystem

[grizzled frost]

what

[agile stag]

people are fine being told their products are thin but i dont know how much people care

make it a little thicker and a lot better

didnt they do that on the mbpros when they redid them semi recently

[grizzled frost]

1-2mm isn’t gonna make any significant difference to thermal performance

identical thickness on the MBP since the M1

[winged sky]

Yee its built like a tank and I plan to use this thing for the next 10 years.

[frail sequoia]

New soundbar + subwoofer test with them set to volume 8

(Goes up to 100)

[empty quartz]

Meh

[frail sequoia]

It was set to flat and not boost 😭

[somber blaze]

which one do you guys think is better the MSI B550M PRO-VDH MATX or Gigabyte B550M K MATX

[empty quartz]

Thats worse

[frail sequoia]

I did get them for free, and they are 10+ years old

So its pretty good if you ask me

[empty quartz]

Mine were free too

My tower speakers are around 50 years old or so

[tidal geyser]

no bot spam here i see

[ionic peak]

Hello fellow network enthusiasts I got a question:
I got a network cable in my wall ( cat7) 6 times to 3 rooms so aka 2 per room.
Now I need a Fritzbox to connect from fiber thing to the 6 ethernet ports so I got 2 options

[ionic peak]

Yes

[agile stag]

speakers are neat and free is pretty solid

[ionic peak]

Solid you say

[tidal geyser]

get ready

[ionic peak]

https://tenor.com/view/metal-gear-solid-snake-big-boss-gif-12248663

[agile stag]

grr i have speaker videos but theyre hard to send

[empty quartz]

I love my technics sb-x500’s

[ionic peak]

Can you help me decide which interner router I should pick

[tidal geyser]

isp

[agile stag]

technics is pretty solid i got an amp from them a while back when i was starting out and i still have it

[tidal geyser]

or ucg fiber or smn

[ionic peak]

Modem is in that thing

[agile stag]

i got an sa7300x and its only 20wpc but its quadraphonic(useless) but it does sound pretty good

[empty quartz]

I use a technics amp/pre-amp and equilizer

[ionic peak]

So that the router get fiber and be connected to 6 ports

[tidal geyser]

Dream Router 7 can be everything :3

[empty quartz]

Turntable is an akai direct drive

[agile stag]

grr filesize is killing me videos are hard to send

[ionic peak]

Is that like Fritzbox?

[empty quartz]

@agile stag

[agile stag]

i just have a bunch of receivers for now but i do have a sony ES amp and preamp but the preamp does need work

[tidal geyser]

i dono maybe maybe not

[empty quartz]

I also have a pair of klipsch rf-15’s

[ionic peak]

Ye only those 2 I sended as a picture

[agile stag]

i have a couple setups with me/at my parents place but here i have a mountain of small desktop bookshelf speakers but i also have some mcintosh ml10cs and i just got some cezik speakers that need work

[ionic peak]

One is fast and has more ports and the other is cheaper but less ports and lower speed trough wifi 6

[agile stag]

at my parents place though i have some nice kef bookshelf speakers and a velodyne sub and then an assortment of receivers there too

sending videos is hard still grr i listened to it from my phone and it was quiet but out of my headphones its sub bass and i dont want to louden it more

it is a mean song though

audio stuff is fun

[fickle ivy]

Why do I pay monthly for a subscription service if I still have to pay for individual movies wtf prime video

[snow mauve]

Because the prime video library is not infinite lol you know they got to keep milking it

[agile stag]

gotta pirate harder

[charred belfry]

So.. my Wi-fi recently got reset and now the Wi-fi extender i'm using as a hardline connection isn't picking up the Wireless internet signal.. JFC, my PC IS getting and is connected to the Wi-Fi.. it's just the Home Extender isn't..

[clear canyon]

it sounds like you have no sub

[mellow sonnet]

opinions on the corsair rm850x shift?

[frail sequoia]

It was set to flat

[clear canyon]

why

[frail sequoia]

I didn't know until I got the remote

[fickle ivy]

I've never actually pirated any movies but I might just start having to cuz damn

Modern HP EliteBooks that arent the X/1000/Ultra lines uses the aluminum shell and plastic skeleton, but they are pretty taut

[ionic atlas]

I'm still waiting on the X G2 to replace my old elitebook.. still saying "coming soon"

[night delta]

lots of metal reinfocements and i havent heard of cases of modern EBs failing on hinges

I'm using one right now

[south arrow]

Solid psu

[carmine yew]

doing a dual 120mm just for looks is quite a choice

[ivory mountain]

i buy something on amazon

amazon ships used item even though i bought it new

said item has a missing part

why do they do this

[night delta]

Granted its the zbook firefly 14 version, basically the p14s to the t14 in thinkpad language

[south arrow]

Take the ethernet out and reset the extender (typically alittle hole on older models). Then re plug in should connect

[night delta]

what r u using?

[tired bear]

[ionic atlas]

so the main service PC at work is this;
HP EliteBook 745 G6 - Ryzen 7 Pro 3700U / 2.3 GHz
Win 10 Pro 64-bit
16 GB RAM
512 GB SSD NVMe
14" IPS HP SureView 1920 x 1080 (Full HD)
Radeon Vega 10

so like.. it's been great for HDMI2.0 port and Ethernet.

[tired bear]

just ask a KAM

[ionic atlas]

and next to it I use a Macbook Pro 16" M4 Max

so the pc needs the upgrading.

[south arrow]

They sent me one that was literally all burnt up once xD, was a td500 v1 all melted down on the top and sides

[tired bear]

g6 last good gen (old dock connector, built in ethernet)

[ionic atlas]

yeah, gonna miss ethernet, but on the other side, the new laptops support those external like 2.5G/5G jack adapters

i already have one for my mac

[night delta]

Mine is the HP ZBook Firefly 14 G10 A

[tired bear]

anything with usb3,0 supports those

[charred belfry]

When do i reconnect because i'm still getting the slow blinking red light

[ionic atlas]

and it looks like, HP gone back to better keyboard with no more island, and it's like regular keyboard where it's indented and has rigid edges.

[night delta]

1920 x 1200, 500 nit, low power

[south arrow]

Did you hold the reset for 10 seconds or refer to the extenders manual?

[charred belfry]

10 seconds

[south arrow]

Can try replugging in, if not see manual for troubleshooting tips should have a few

[tired bear]

i dislike the feel of new power buttons

[ionic atlas]

as someone who work with MicroLED at work, the display on my HP laptop is like so bottom tier. lmao. the macbook display is good, so.. really excited for those tandem OLED etc. or anything newer really

[night delta]

all i want on mine is adequate basic color coverage and good enough lighting for outdoors

[ionic atlas]

I had a XPS 15" 4K OLED, but man the ports kept breaking on them, then the BIOS kept error every time i boot etc. so I trashed it (well, sits in a bin)

[night delta]

mine covers the basic sRGB competely so

and I do some cad stuffs for school and shiz, so i need the zbook

ive used better screens before, but I dont really mind this one

[ionic atlas]

is the Zbook the one with professional nvidia gpu?

oh, right it wasn't a XPS I had, it was a PRecision because it had some Quadro,,, tho still, DELL kept break down

[night delta]

it comes in amd or intel versions. intel gets an quadro/rtx gpu

amd just uses the built in radeon igpu

[fringe prairie]

the fury has that

power doesn’t

[night delta]

the firefly has that too, but intel only

[night delta]

no, it does as well.

but only intel versions

[fringe prairie]

oh wait i mixed up firefly and power**

firefly is the 14/15.6” model iirc

[night delta]

firefly comes in 14 and 16 inch

[fringe prairie]

yeah so many names lol

[night delta]

so basically, firefly is like the p14s and p16s

[ionic atlas]

I think I'll be fine with the "dedicated" intel for the pc laptop. several laptops seemed to have the "Arc B390" in the newer one.

[fringe prairie]

i like lenovos naming ngl

[ionic atlas]

as long it does 120Hz and can be smooth using CLion as dev, I'm happy. 😄

[night delta]

you can option for the dreamcolor screen for 120hz

overkill as balls because thats for color accurate work but yeah

[ionic atlas]

the enw hp elitebook should have 120hz, so that's also why i looked at it

[night delta]

is it just or i jsut dont really super mind it not being 120hz on my main laptop

[ionic atlas]

gotten to used to it now with my mac as well MSI QD-OLED external

no need for 144Hz tho.

[night delta]

i can get by with 60

i just dont like laptops with below sRGB coverage

because they look super dull

[ionic atlas]

I also developed a media player at work, so it's nice to see 120Hz when testing media actually.

(so far, the media player runs anything u throw at it as long you have the gpu power for it)

[night delta]

i got this zbook for a steal

under 300 dollars on ebay, with the hp care pack warranty still active until 2028

idfk why they threw this away cuz it works completely fine

[ionic atlas]

similar to how I got my dell precision because a company had to do a major sell because they where in operation for less than a year and financial issues. so got a three month old laptop

then sure 3 years later, things started to break down, but I blame dell on that

[night delta]

the good thing about hp's warranty is that its tied to the laptop, not whoever bought it originally

ala like lenovo

for dell, its tied

[ionic atlas]

oh, looks like there's a relaese date... June? ... far off from CES when they showed it up, but interesting.

[restive plinth]

https://www.notebookcheck.net/New-Microsoft-Surface-Laptop-spotted-with-Intel-Panther-Lake-and-Arc-B390-graphics.1286001.0.html

[ionic atlas]

the reason I don't want to get the new Dell XPS is lack of HDMI port. And the surface as in those pics, last year model? didn't either have HDMI port... and then Lenovo be limiting their HDMI port even tho it's "2.1".

which is kinda ridicilous because, even my mac has a proper hdmi port nowadays

[night delta]

i dont like the xps because of the keyboard

its too low travel, and they compensated it for making it overly snappy

[fringe prairie]

i would love one of these

[ionic atlas]

one of the gripes with HDMI2.1 like with usb.. optional features, but it's still marketed as 2.1

same limitation on both AMD and intel version of it

[stray portal]

i installed vs code and it was kinda messed up

[night delta]

2.0b for me

[ionic atlas]

at least get that 4K HDR tho

[stray portal]

microsoft support had me doing all sorts of registry hacks im crine

[restive plinth]

If it wasn't for the price and the fact that my current laptop is good for the next 3 to 4 years, I would also have loved to have one of that. It looks so good and battery life also seems to be great from what I've seen so far.

[ionic atlas]

if you get the thinkpad P1 Gen 9, then you get proper port with that Blackwell RTX Pro gpu.

but then, it's a way hotter and heavier laptop

[night delta]

i can also just use the thunderbolt port as well for DP

[restive plinth]

What registry hacks for vs code?

[night delta]

so is it not true 2.1?

[ionic atlas]

tbh, in the video industry. the lack of DP respect is real. Like, you can have a display with HDMI2.0b and then it has a DP1.1 as a side thought. Gotta pay real good money for DP1.4 and even more if you want support for DSC.

[stray portal]

so you can enable the open with code thing in the context menu but u cant disable it

he had me doing all sorts of things and it gave out errors the indian told me the errors mean its working

[night delta]

thank god my monitor at home has 1.4

[ionic atlas]

nope, just rebranded 2.0 what i see

[restive plinth]

If you downloaded vs code normally the "open with" would automatically have VS Code in it right

[ionic atlas]

like, at least give me 40Gbps if you can't do the full 48Gbps on HDMI 2.1

[stray portal]

yes exactly thats why i wanted it gone but if you check a box that says add open with code in context menu theres a custom one that gets added thats only in english

kinda bad so i removed it

i dont need multiple things doing the same thing

[restive plinth]

Wow okay good luck with that

[stray portal]

its already fixed

also i feel like support quality is degrading he just asked me to access my pc to fix it himself instead of guiding me, i had to tell him i dont want him accessing my computer for him to actually help

[wet ember]

It's kinda hard to tell when this computer is on. Only obvious giveaways are the power LED lit and small RGB on the motherboard

Is my PC boring

[rigid ether]

5600MHz cl46 or 6000MHz cl40 ?

[deep musk]

tc1 or tc2?

[ionic peak]

I see glass.

[wet ember]

Yeah sorry idk why my phone wouldn't focus

[ionic peak]

Mine wouldn't to

[wet ember]

It's boring but function over form I guess

[ionic peak]

What specs?

[wet ember]

9800x3d, 4080 super, 32 gb, 2 tb m.2, 1 tb 2.5, 1 tb hdd

But I have a slightly underpowered monitor. 1080p 180hz

[ionic peak]

Atleast not 60hz ( I play on
60fps )

[ionic peak]

I hope you get also a beefy monitor

[ionic peak]

And psu ?
