[azure topaz]

yeah

[median warren]

Damn she's cool

She's got a better pc than most gamers

[azure topaz]

about on par with the average

she just started destiny 2

[median warren]

She's real cool

[gilded harness]

12100f lmao 🥀

[median warren]

Tbh most people I know, or I suppose friends I have outside of Ltt discord, all run 10 series still

One guy has a 3060 but the rest are on 10 series

[azure topaz]

oh i mean thats probably better

my mom has a 5500, so

[gilded harness]

probably on par or better yea, almost similar pc

[azure topaz]

yeah

originally had a 1070 in it

paid a whole 250$ for it, noctua fan swap sf650 is neat

[hexed tapir]

5060ti should've been a 12gb only card

[median warren]

My first GPU was a 1070 so love to see it

[hexed tapir]

16gb is too much for it but 8gb is too little

[craggy cove]

what do you think about this thing i made

[craggy cove]

then it eats in to 5070 sales

ok the performance gap between them is still pretty big

[azure topaz]

looks good whats with the one green fan

also not super into the air cooler tbh

[craggy cove]

later on i discovered i somehow cut one of the rgb cables

[craggy cove]

i genuinely did the thing

[azure topaz]

ah yep lol

[craggy cove]

every time i saw this i thought "what an idiot"

[craggy cove]

then i was struggling to figure out why my cs2 temps were okayish at like 70-80 but occt went to 100c

dont build pcs late at night and when youre tired

[grizzled frost]

RAM fan?

[hexed tapir]

Ew you did the glass side panel

[azure topaz]

why wouldnt i

[azure topaz]

duh

[hexed tapir]

Mesh is superior

[azure topaz]

objectively not true for the people who want to see in their computer

[craggy cove]

mine is so tinted

[azure topaz]

mine is pretty dark but that works out cause the whole machine is just black basically

yours looks good i like fishtanks tbh but i also really like the more industrial look

[craggy cove]

hey me too

[azure topaz]

mines a gooder blackout

[craggy cove]

except for the gpu support bracket i forgot to buy

and the accidental rgb ram

[azure topaz]

lol

i too have a 4000d airflow

[craggy cove]

a phantom spirit evo would look better here

[azure topaz]

frozn a620 or whatever cooler i have on my server would look good

[craggy cove]

oh right the evo has a bit of rgb

[azure topaz]

this thing

fake AK620 from "cps"

[azure topaz]

😭

[craggy cove]

like no deals on pc parts at all

[craggy cove]

i think this stupid thing will be my last for a while

its been a big enough headache

the psu has horrible ripple leading to deafening mobo coil whine

[azure topaz]

i dont mind the long process

[craggy cove]

if youre old you cant hear it!

[azure topaz]

true

[craggy cove]

what are the ethics of selling a coil whine pc

if they complain ill just act deaf

[snow mauve]

lol

the ethics are fine if the cost reflects 😄

[azure topaz]

you just

sell it

coilwhile literally means almost nothing especially to people who like, wear headphones

[snow mauve]

"weird, it wasn't making that noise until i sold it to you..." lol

[craggy cove]

must be the power grid

[azure topaz]

you just explain coilwhile to them and be done its really not that deep

[craggy cove]

yeah kinda my plan

oh shit i remember now that i have 2 more pcs

[azure topaz]

at specific loads and frequencies specific components inside your computer do work at just the right frequency to where you can hear it

[craggy cove]

but theyre kinda garbage

[azure topaz]

not like its gonna kaboom or nothin

[craggy cove]

i5-4570 and gtx 970 poo build, hp z420 e5-1650 v2 and 1070 ti thing

[azure topaz]

i meaannn

[snow mauve]

yea i have some sort of strange resonance pattern that's subtle that i can pick out from my server's fans. its like, one or two of them are just slightly off sync and creaztes this kinda wave sound hard to explain. its not maddening but you can pick it out

[craggy cove]

i guess if they ask

i sell hand to hand only or whatever

idk english

so they can test it before

so it wont be a surprise at least

[azure topaz]

if someone says no to a genuinely good deal on a puter cause it has coil whine thats their loss tho lowk

[craggy cove]

though some people dgaf and just want me to hand it over on the street

[craggy cove]

uhmm yeahh good deal

[azure topaz]

shhh

[craggy cove]

lowkey im pretty reasonable with my prices (i think)

like i sold my 2060 super for 130€ to some ukrainian

bought it for 100€ two years ago :p

[median warren]

I've been selling my stuff to friends and family where possible

[craggy cove]

ok the last pc i sold was a ryzen 5 3600, 2060 super build for like 475€

[median warren]

So I'm even cheaper with it

[craggy cove]

which is okay i think?

[median warren]

Yeah

[craggy cove]

all good until the "why isnt this working" call a year later

[median warren]

Yeah about that

[craggy cove]

oh and i have another 2060 super to sell that i somehow got for 65€

why have i touched so many 2060 supers

[median warren]

Sold my friend my old pc (10700k, 3070, 32gb of DDR4) for £500 and spent £250 of that for a 1tb m.2, new case and a new aio. But point is, since he's had it he renamed me in his discord to "tech support"

[craggy cove]

trying to sell for 140€ cause its a good model

[craggy cove]

a fuck nahhh

[median warren]

And he's fine now but the first 3 weeks I was getting dmed a lot

[median warren]

"my RGB is off, how fix"

"there are random numbers in the top right how do I get it off" (it was Nvidia overlay)

[stone temple]

Imma go ahead and build a pc now

But im going to build it almost entirely off second hand market

[craggy cove]

sometimes i wanna help others get more value with tech purchases but

i dont wanna deal with this even more than i already do

[median warren]

He also goes to me first before he goes to Google

[craggy cove]

like sure just buy the shittily priced refurb iphone idc atp

[median warren]

Also, he modded GTa 5 legacy, right? Just for some rp mods but

He somehow installed everything 3 times, so he had about 450gb taken up just by mods and GTA 5

[craggy cove]

reply with only chatgpt answers

[median warren]

I don't know how you manage this tho

But then I helped him, installed wiztree and yeah it's fixed now

[native path]

Don’t hate on the 3070ti everyone please

[median warren]

Maybe I should too

[glad flax]

Mods for GTA 5 take up so much space, I had to run gta on a whole separate SSD just to mod it

[craggy cove]

gave him a good deal and free tech support

[median warren]

Yeah but the issue here was that he installed 3 different copies of GTA 5 legacy

[craggy cove]

some people just push the limit

[median warren]

Literally

[glad flax]

Ok how is that even possible?

[craggy cove]

noted

[median warren]

😭

I asked that too

[glad flax]

Steam can’t do that so how? My head is now spinning

[median warren]

I think it was like

He installed it through steam but had some issue with his steam and rockstar account not being connected and not being able to connect it

And I don't know what happened after that

He installed it on steam, then through rockstar launcher separately

But then I don't know where the 3rd copy came from

But when I saw his wiztree and saw that GTA 5 legacy had 3 folders, named:

Gta 5 legacy
Gta 5 legacy - copy
Gta 5 legacy - copy copy

I couldn't stop laughing

[native path]

I’m always recommending wiztree over windirstat

[median warren]

Totalling 450gb

[native path]

It’s sooo much faster

[median warren]

Love wiztree

[true adder]

Why do all of my meta accounts just get banned once in a while

its so annoying..

[glad flax]

Or maybe be copy and pasted it multiple times forgetting he saved the last copy and paste of gta 5

[median warren]

yeah maybe

was funny tho

[snow mauve]

i've found a lot of lurking large stuff with wiztree 🙂

one big one is, if you're playing with unreal engine, and you install the binaries and megascans to a particular drive, it will by default do the PROJECT files in my documents and each project is like 10-40gb

[arctic kettle]

😭

I'm dead.

[median warren]

lmao

[frail sequoia]

Someone in my house stole my extension cord with my phone charger on it and i need to use my laptop charger to charge my phone 😭

[modest flame]

I just drove 2000 miles for a move and I'm happy to report that my PC has survived... mostly intact

I removed the GPU and put it in its original box, and then put the PC in the case's original packaging

[native path]

Steal it back then

[modest flame]

everything survived.... except for the 2.5" mechanical drive I forgot I had installed in one of the bays. I completely forgot about it, and the 2000 miles worth of road bumps absolutely fucked it

[frail sequoia]

Its nearly midnight so I cant

[gleaming rose]

fiar enough

have thou considered oppo?

they have the best folder

also look at my dinner today

[craggy cove]

regular traffic

[modest flame]

welp, it was not the drive

something else was causing the whine noise i was hearing.

loose ball bearing?

[daring crystal]

Rate the TV streamer

[grizzled frost]

shoulda just used an apple tv

[daring crystal]

Tiny apartment. Really have no idea for it atm

So it's now a temporary TV streamer

Tempted to resell it. The market on them is 650

[mint umbra]

wonder what made amd cave to giving 7000 gpus fsr 4

I honestly thought they never were going to

[grizzled frost]

everyone and their grandmother bitching about it

[sharp ivy]

🫂 awh

More people at my school know that I'm a furry

none of my family knows

[deep musk]

Can confirm, my grandma was really angry about it

[mint umbra]

what is like most efficent gpu that 4k capable

my 7900xtx always doing like 400w under load

[sinful cobalt]

5050

[deep musk]

My mom knows, my dad might know, and almost everyone knew that I was trans at my old school

[sinful cobalt]

you said 4k capable and not 4K good experience

[deep musk]

Im sure the 3050 6gb lp can do 4K too

[mint umbra]

like is the 5080 efficient gpu

[sinful cobalt]

5050 more efficient

[plain cypress]

USA, so, naw
Not worth it to import a device without official support on my network and questionable support of Google play services

Also all the Chinese android skins are ass

[sharp ivy]

My 970 can do 4k :3

[mint umbra]

or 5070 ti maybe

[deep musk]

Even more than the laptop version?

[sinful cobalt]

yes GB203 is the most efficient rn

[mint umbra]

cuz with no games open my gpu still pulling like 90 watts

[deep musk]

Wait, igpu can do 4K

[sharp ivy]

the Intel UHD 630 on my laptop can do 4k lol

[deep musk]

Nothing is more efficient than an igpu

[sinful cobalt]

high bit bus thing

[mint umbra]

like why is my gpu using so much power when im not doing anything

[plain cypress]

Because it's an XTX

[mint umbra]

all I have is fire fox, discord and music app open

that shouldnt even require anuthing from gpu lol

[azure topaz]

this one

[mint umbra]

I really fumbled buying this gpu huh

[plain cypress]

Is it an rdna3 issue or multi die issue
I.e, does navi33 see the same problem

[mint umbra]

its the chiplet design no ?

[plain cypress]

I'm pretty sure

[sinful cobalt]

the design and high bit bus imo

[mint umbra]

ive been thinking about switching to a 5080

[plain cypress]

Yeah to be clear, there's a lot of compute in there

[mint umbra]

or 5070ti

[sinful cobalt]

everyone Ive heard with an XTX including my friend has always complained about the high power and hotspots

either 1 works better

[plain cypress]

24gb of ram takes power, 384bit memory PHY takes power, 7 dies takes power

[mint umbra]

not sure which one I should go for

I wanted to wait for 6000 series but feel like its not coming for a couple years

[sinful cobalt]

btw is this fully idle

[hexed tapir]

Good news your getting fsr 4 support by the end of the year I believe

[sinful cobalt]

like entirely no movement

[snow mauve]

can't quite tell the meat. almost looks like rib bones

[mint umbra]

basicly unless you count fire fox discord and youtube music

[plain cypress]

Proof that online bullying gets shit done

[sinful cobalt]

jeez this is worse than the 5090 with 512bitbus

[mint umbra]

this all I got open

but still around 90w

[plain cypress]

I see GPU accelerated applications

[mint umbra]

discord ?

[hexed tapir]

Youtubes

[mint umbra]

youtube music uses gpu ?

[tidal geyser]

yes

[mint umbra]

thought it was the cpu since its not playing videos and such

[tidal geyser]

thought that was the main point of youtube music

it was music videos

[mint umbra]

I just use youtube music cuz it has bigger libary than spotify

has like covers and remixes and stuff

that spotify dont have

[tidal geyser]

eh most of em sound like crap to me so not something i care much about

[tidal geyser]

hated mine

[mint umbra]

idk what I should do

tough it out till 6000 or get like a 5070

[plain cypress]

I've proudly never used a Radeon card

[mint umbra]

at the time when they made it saw alot of ppl hyping up and saying how great it was at the time

[tidal geyser]

eh im being unfair to it

[mint umbra]

heard nivida dont play well with linux tho cuz I want to try out nobara

[tidal geyser]

its good if you can open 2 windows and just have the wind blow troug the room but nvidia cards still use TONS of power

[tidal geyser]

if you are willing to part with the computer sleeping its not too bad

nvidia on linux has come a far way

[mint umbra]

Ive heard its gotten a bit better

[plain cypress]

You should try Linux with the XTX first before making any decisions about a new gpu

[mint umbra]

well I have tried it with catchyos

[pulsar root]

Google using macOS over chromeOS in their promo video is crazy

[ivory mountain]

pragmata might be the first game to actually utilize my vram properly

[sharp ivy]

my puter

still needs graphics card and HDD

[snow mauve]

is that from 1994?

[sharp ivy]

older

made in 1990

CPU was released in 1982

[rose stream]

Oooo which one?

[sharp ivy]

NEC 8950 V20

pin compatible

slightly faster 8088

[white mirage]

My 2 tb ssd this much space left is it safe to install more i keep minimum storage free ?

[formal sonnet]

It's generally a good idea to keep 10-20% free space on most SSDs. I would recommend freeing up space if you intend to install more content onto that drive.

[snow mauve]

may wanna be moving stuff off that now lol

[white mirage]

I won't install anything more , is it fine ?

[formal sonnet]

Depends on if the drive has DRAM cache and if this is your OS drive or a secondary storage only drive. If it lacks cache and is your OS drive, I'd try to keep at least 200GB free at all times for best performance.

[white mirage]

It's a 2nd drive for games only

[onyx bluff]

me trying to explain to the bros why a basic PC is $1000 now

[white mirage]

Delete Persona 5 golden which i had finished

[plain cypress]

i see they ran out of budget for red string

https://klipy.com/gifs/charlie-day-4--k01KS1K92R998EE408F4TH7VNF2

[formal sonnet]

That, or the store ran out of red string due to the Polygon video about the Kingdom Hearts storyline.

[plain cypress]

i am almost 30 and I've still not googled "what is kingdom hearts"

okay this fuckass game has built in motion blur or something to certain character animations fuckass ea and their fuckass console ports

[formal sonnet]

No prob, I got chu fam. Really easy to understand story. Not confusing at all. You'll love it!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwEwxKkCGJE

[snow mauve]

$1000 starters

[plain cypress]

Kirashi, I have no reason to ever lie to you.
I will not be watching that video

oh but it is polygon so thats a strong maybe but probably not but maybe

wait is it polygon david

[formal sonnet]

Good call. I wouldn't want to be responsible for sending you a bottle of scotch if you began playing any of the Kingdom Hearts (or Final Fantasy) games. 😄

[formal sonnet]

The one... and only. Also, despite David warning viewers about spoilers at the start of the video, you'll be left with far more questions than answers after watching the video, so spoilers don't matter.

[snow mauve]

lol gotta love games/shows that need their own wiki / youtube explanation series

[sharp ivy]

@empty quartz YOOO

if you wanted a CRT someone put this up for free

gem alert

[latent gull]

only 15 minutes long. im concerned.

[formal sonnet]

Easy to remember acronyms. Helps understand the story. Help, I'm tangled in red string!

[latent gull]

i understand the video is (probably) satirical, but there is something comical about certain storytelling elements, like chekovs gun, and watching them extremely obviously show up in a story

[formal sonnet]

Yes, it's largely a satirical spoof on how complicated Square Enix's storylines can be... for those who attempt to understand every aspect of their storylines, many of which are never fully explained.

[latent gull]

me and a buddy were playing sunautica 2 the other day, and you get to a story element and its like "oh, i wonder if this is the magical thing we need to progress" 2 hours later "oh that was the magical thing we needed to progress"

great game btw

[jolly heron]

Whats wrong with my pc

[carmine yew]

none of those look like normal BIOS Errors.

Are you on a repurposed server or workstation?

the first line sounds like it's complaining about a RAM Stick. Did you add memory recently?

[rain lily]

what are y’all thinking re: dlss 5

it’d be cool if they had different modes for developers to implement it. Use DLSS 5 lighting. Use DLSS 5 terrain. Dlss 5 hdr, characters, etc. It seems like a really neat way to do expensive operations like lighting and stuff for free but even in the examples it changed up some of the characters quite a bit so it would be nice to be able to style control the style of the rest of the rendering.

[carmine yew]

the smart answer is: Wait till it's actually implemented in games for real, and see how it works with them

you can't really pre-judge tech

[rain lily]

i’m pretty sure dlss 5 is going to do to the gaming industry what hans zimmer did to the film industry :p

[carmine yew]

https://tenor.com/view/ok-yeah-gif-815126498296623781

reminder: We're 8 years later in the "RTX IS GOING TO CHANGE GAMING FOREVER"

And most games still don't really care if it's off or on still.

[rain lily]

i mean if it does work well every game using it will have a similar feel to it since it will be optimized to do hdr lighting a certain way yada yada

like everything will be in over saturated movie mode

[plain cypress]

I don't play any RT games

[carmine yew]

if that's actually how it works, that's already why it'll never change gaming across the board

[rain lily]

but it’s the same as unity games feeling similar and shit like that

[plain cypress]

@carmine yew Microsoft Solitaire RTX when?

[carmine yew]

I can barely see a difference for the most part

[rain lily]

like maybe if you really really try you can make something that looks different and great

[carmine yew]

the fuckers did it in goddamned minecraft, so.... I wouldn't put it past modders

[plain cypress]

shit whats the other version of solitaire for people who suck at solitaire

spider solitaire?

[rain lily]

but for the most part everything will do lighting the same way and manage reflections and everything

[carmine yew]

yup

[rain lily]

*microsoft

they did it too didn’t they

[carmine yew]

have you considered the possibility that most of your takes are bad, and you should stop before you dig that hole any deeper?

[carmine yew]

modders did it first. Then MS said "huh, we can do that, huh?"

[rain lily]

i have decent hopes for dlss 5

it definitely shows a lot of promising tech in it

[carmine yew]

it seems like neat tech, but i'm not holding my breath on it

[rain lily]

like you could train models to only fuck with lighting and reflections and stuff

and then most people wouldn’t care but you could have things look raytraced on a handheld or something

[carmine yew]

you realize that even if it's a god-send to gamers, it's gonna be a gimmick for (at least) 4-6 years, right?

[rain lily]

oh yeah

[carmine yew]

so, even if it "revolutionizes" gaming, it ain't gonna be anytime soon

[carmine yew]

.... how many handhelds do you know with RTX 5000 series chips?

[rain lily]

obviously it wouldn’t come out now

i’m talking about the concept

[carmine yew]

you can stop slobbering on jensen. he's got enough yes-men doing it already.

[rain lily]

vs doing trillions of operations for raytracing

[plain cypress]

damn i just lost twice in easy spider solitaire

[carmine yew]

yawn

[solar moat]

🤦 users fucks around with OC and messing with windose debloe/custom install and wonders why there problems

[carmine yew]

scrub

[plain cypress]

I have zero interest in undoing 30 times so i can uncover the last 4 cards that are all the fucking 9s in the whole set

[carmine yew]

fun fact:
There's no guarantee you can win in any solitaire hand

[plain cypress]

I swear it was easier in XP when I was 6

[carmine yew]

if the cards don't like you, you ain't winning

[sleek ibex]

Solitaire..... The 9X version was Diabolical

Have you played the version on 98SE or 95? ISTG that version was rigged

spent the last hour trying to get my brand new xbox controller working on forza horizon 6 via gamepass

connects to windows but the game just refuses to register it, tried every troubleshooting fix imaginable, wild how every single time ive tried to use gamepass ive gotten extremely angry, i dont think its ever worked this is like my 4th time trying it

also helps that the settings song is the worst song ive ever heard so i get to listen to that for an hour as i angrily try to get my controler to work

[vivid barn]

Seeing the GPU and cpu costs rn

If one had the choice

When should they PC build

This year or next?

Early 2027

[serene python]

Atleast 2050

What kind of question is this

[vivid barn]

It's a very simple question. If you wanted you to make that joke, you could have just made that joke, without question my question lol

[serene python]

There is no point in speculating when it's the best time to build a pc

If you need it, go for it

[vivid barn]

Yeah what do think I am Elon musk

[vivid barn]

U seem like a very rich person lol

[serene python]

I am not trust me

[vivid barn]

My budget is around 1000 dollars

Can I get a good PC for that much?

[serene python]

Yeah obviously

[vivid barn]

OK let's do 800

[serene python]

Same

[native path]

Why would you lower it

Is your budget $1000 or $800?

If you’re talking about lowering it then clearly the budget here isn’t $1000

[vivid barn]

Well Imma get a new PC after I get into collage

But I don't know how much money my parents will be wanting to give lol

My last laptop was 600 bucks

Not sure 1000 though

Or maybe who knows

Ig what collage I get into plays a role lol 😭

[native path]

The answer to the original question differs vastly between 600 to 1000

You can definitely get a good computer for 1000, you can build up a decent computer with used parts at 800, a budget of 600 is a stretch but over a period of time you can find good deals on used parts and build an alright system

[limber nacelle]

dude

if u need a pc u need a pc

even if its a bad time to build a pc, doesnt necessarily mean u shouldnt build one

it just means u get less value for ur money

[fallen sky]

i wanna build my own NAS so bad

they r rlly cheap

[idle tangle]

They are, but storage has gotten so expensive 😭

[stark flicker]

not the storage lol

[fallen sky]

Ehh

$150 for 4tb

What am I going to use more than that for

Who uses more than 4

for photos I’m only ever going to have like 1TB

[stark flicker]

people who store movies and series

Also, wtf is it really 4TB for 150$ ? I got 12TB for this price

[median warren]

Yeah

All storage prices are insane

[stark flicker]

Really glad I got almost all I need before all of this

[median warren]

I remember £40 4tb hard drives

[median warren]

Yeah me too

Snagged a 1tb and 2tb 990 pros

[stark flicker]

I may have needed one or two more nvme ssd yeah but still I'm quite ok

[median warren]

They'll come down eventually

Maybe

[stark flicker]

We'll see

[craggy fiber]

is this my graphics card dying or something what is happening

[craggy fiber]

what is it 😭

[tired bear]

is this igpu since resolution is so low?

[craggy fiber]

wdym

cropped screenshots?

[tired bear]

what gpu is that

[craggy fiber]

3060 ti

[tired bear]

run mods\mats if you already DDU'd the drivers and reinstalled them
https://repair.wiki/w/Nvidia_GPU_Memory_Testing_Guide

[craggy fiber]

what is ddu i am not smart in pc language

[tired bear]

display driver uninstaller

[craggy fiber]

ive never uninstalled a driver but i did recently install the newest nvidia driver

[midnight wind]

4tb often going for $200 now in my experience

12 tb for maybe $600

[stark flicker]

wtf

[midnight wind]

I saw some cheap drives at Walmart but it was all cleared out. I guess I should've checked them sooner

But on the flip side they had 1tb sn7100 for I think $250

And of course for ram I need to buy an lpcamm2 module for the framework main board I preordered but its $400 for 32GB

[copper maple]

What is the best privacy search engine? Duckduckgo is fine but it's just a bing wrapper, I heard Brave search is decent as well

[native path]

Wdym by privacy

[latent pasture]

duckduckgo ultralarp

[copper maple]

Anything other than google is private in my eyes

[latent pasture]

bing?

[copper maple]

Arguably bing is worse

[copper maple]

Which one do you recommend

[grizzled frost]

TOR

[native path]

Probably just duckduckgo

[grizzled frost]

i mean if you can tolerate it, yeah duckduckgo

the name alone pisses me off too much to use it

[median warren]

Tor if you're okay with most websites not being able to function

[native path]

But i’d just use brave/firefox with google search engine and turn on a vpn

[median warren]

Lmao

[native path]

Your data is being trafficked regardless of what engine you use

[gilded imp]

just give in ngl

[native path]

It gets to a point where it’s genuinely just not worth thinking about it

[grizzled frost]

You’re not that interesting ngl

[gilded imp]

100%

[median warren]

Never

[latent pasture]

what actual security is

[grizzled frost]

as long as it isn’t PII, i really truly don’t care at this point

[gilded imp]

and obviously whatever you access via the engine is also tracking your data

and that data either goes to google, or facebook

[native path]

Every site has your IP anyway

[median warren]

Yeah I mean tor is pretty damn secure, especially if you turn it onto the safest option where it disables scripts but a lot of websites won't work

[native path]

Just turn on a vpn if you care enough and forget about it

[median warren]

And you can always use split tunneling if you don't want high ping in games

Just set it up correctly and you're gucci

[native path]

I added an extension to Firefox I think it only turns on for my browser

[latent pasture]

also search engine become useless if you have literally any extension on the browser
bc they can just take info off them

[grizzled frost]

My ad blocker probably knows more about me than i do

[median warren]

I just split tunneled everything I don't want a VPN connection with

[latent pasture]

either u have broken websites and no qol or accept u arent interesting

[native path]

I think about it in a positive light tbh I’m not spending any money and they’re giving me curated ads on Amazon , I mean sure I guess I’ll take it

[grizzled frost]

True, i’d rather get targeted ads than nonsense ads

[latent pasture]

ye weirdly enough i actually reenabled ads on facebook bc i started having it recomend used pc/laptop stores that i didnt think existed in my region

[native path]

Yeah give me the 10gbps nic ad rather than the swimsuit ad please

[median warren]

I find it funny when I get ads that aren't in English, I just kind of laugh at how strange some languages sound

Dutch sounds funny

No offense to anyone who's Dutch

[gilded imp]

YouTube has decided to automatically turn on auto dub for like 1/100 shorts

And it’s not English dub

It’s really strange

[median warren]

Auto dub? Didn't know they had that

[gilded imp]

I’ll just scroll and sometimes it just happens to start auto dubbing in Turkish, I scroll again and it’s automatically off for the next one

[median warren]

That's funny ngl

[native path]

YouTube shorts pfft

[gilded imp]

Idk how that even happens, it’s a really weird bug

[median warren]

If you turn off uh

Recommendations and stuff, you can disable them

Best decision I've made

Although my YouTube looks like this now:

So I always just have to manually look up channels and check them

[gilded imp]

What a horrible way to use a video sharing platform

[median warren]

As long as it gets rid of shorts, I'm happy

[gilded imp]

No watch history is actually insane dude

[median warren]

On pc it doesn't matter, I have an extensions to customise YouTube and remove shorts

But I mean even on pc, I'm not logged in so I don't have recommendations either

[median warren]

🔥

[sleek ibex]

I get ads not only in my native Arabic but also some in Farsi on occasion

[stark flicker]

Just use firefoxx on your mobile you get the extensions

[median warren]

Yeah but who wants to use youtube in a browser on mobile when you have the app

[stark flicker]

me

Why would i use the app

[median warren]

That's dedication

[median warren]

Convenience

[stark flicker]

In what way ?

It's the same, it's youtube

I click on video, video plays

[median warren]

Quicker access, 1 press and you're there

On Firefox I'd have to keep typing it in and stuff

And it just feels weird using it on browser on mobile

Not the same experience

[stark flicker]

You can make shortcuts for youtube in firefox, it would be one click too

[median warren]

I'll consider it

[stark flicker]

As for the experience, I don't see a problem

[stone temple]

Yo I have a question

[craggy fiber]

is it over for the gpu 🥀

[stone temple]

Right now I just bought a thinkpad T14s gen 4. It has 32Gb ram with a ryzen 7 pro 7840U

I pretty much bought it within 20 mins of the ad being listed for 400 euros

Im debating weather to resell and use that money + some extra for a newer model, or to just keep this. Thats dependent on how much I could actually get for it

Does anyone have any insight

[latent pasture]

if its ram is sodimm sell it to a dumdum for half the laptops price

[stone temple]

Its soldered unfortunately

And if I was to do that the laptop would pretty much be worth nothing

Right now I watch media on my ipad (worth around 400-450 if I was to sell) and work on my laptop, However I wanted to sell my ipad and get something with a OLED then just use my laptop for media and work

[grizzled frost]

i'd be scared if i started to get arabic and farsi ads

Speaking of ram, i just acquired free ram!

but it's 2gb ddr3 sodimms

[craggy fiber]

is this gpu issue and if so how can i fix this

[grizzled frost]

are you the guy from before with artifacting?

[craggy fiber]

think so

[grizzled frost]

earlier today with the green and black squares

[craggy fiber]

ye

[grizzled frost]

Already DDU'd and reinstalled drivers?

[craggy fiber]

no cuz idk how to do that - the other guy asked me the same thing but ive never done that before

[grizzled frost]

Ah one sec, i'll grab a good tutorial for ya (easier than trying to verbalize it)

[craggy fiber]

if i do reinstall drivers and it still happens does it mean my gpu is dying

[grizzled frost]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jxwDPu_hOD4&t=39s

[grizzled frost]

Does the artifacting appear in anything else?

[craggy fiber]

yes lol

[grizzled frost]

Yeah if it persists your gpu is likely fucked

[grizzled frost]

The fact it appears in screenshots is terrifying

[craggy fiber]

its so over

i do NOT have any money

[median warren]

What's your specs

[grizzled frost]

3060ti iirc

[craggy fiber]

yes

[median warren]

Might be able to use integrated graphics tho

[grizzled frost]

What CPU?

[craggy fiber]

ryzen 7 5700x

[grizzled frost]

RIP, no IGPU

[median warren]

Well shit

[grizzled frost]

GT 1030 time!

[median warren]

There's no way you have a warranty on the card right?

[craggy fiber]

i dont know 😭 i brought a prebuilt from amazon

[grizzled frost]

How long ago?

[median warren]

Yeah when

[craggy fiber]

uhh ill check now

november 2023..

[grizzled frost]

RIP

I mean you can try contacting whoever made your prebuilt to see if somehow they'll warranty it, but i highly doubt it

Worth a shot at least

[craggy fiber]

cooked bro

[sinful cobalt]

https://tenor.com/view/activating-sandevistan-david-martinez-cyberpunk-edgerunners-slows-time-down-super-speed-gif-26917413

[median warren]

Time for a GT 1030

So at least you can use your pc

Or, keep using your GPU and save up for a new one

[craggy fiber]

😭 i hope it holds out till august cuz thats when im getting a 5060 ti

[median warren]

3 months

[craggy fiber]

so basically should i not turn my pc off

[median warren]

Your GPU is cooked either way

You can try reinstalling your drivers

Iroh linked a tutorial

[sinful cobalt]

i think they already tried

[craggy fiber]

no i havent yet - im still playing with my friend rn so ill try in a min

[sinful cobalt]

[craggy fiber]

it did start happening after i installed the new nvidia drivers so i pray it goes away

oh keep it up roxuub lets go

[frail sequoia]

no, i shower daily

i dont work there yet, i applied to work there, also im 16 so i want to keep up with good hygeine, also im in college too

[native path]

sure

[median warren]

I trust you'll get it

[craggy fiber]

sorry what did u say i cant read it

[native path]

my opinion is that people are too into "keeping ur data safe" that you're sacrificing genuinely good features in the name of saving data

[frail sequoia]

wadafak 😭

[median warren]

I remember all the channels I watch, I just type in their names and check

[deep musk]

What’s your exact cpu?

[median warren]

Is this how dyslexic people see

[craggy fiber]

ryzen 7 5700x

[deep musk]

Almost

[median warren]

Painful experience

[sleek ibex]

That would be Braille

[median warren]

Braille and dyslexic

[deep musk]

Damn, why do you have a 1030 with that cpu??

[craggy fiber]

i have a 3060 ti?

[deep musk]

And also no igpu unfortunately

[deep musk]

Woups, sorry, misread something

[sinful cobalt]

“that lamp just fully turned into me!”

[deep musk]

Also, why is the 5060 taking so long to arrive? 2-3 months is diabolically long

[craggy fiber]

its when im hopefully planning on buying it for my birthday

[deep musk]

Ohhh oki

[craggy fiber]

but if my gpu dies it might be over i mighjt have to go outside..

[sinful cobalt]

im happy with mine

[median warren]

I hate the camo

[sinful cobalt]

L bozo

[deep musk]

It’s weird that it’s only struggling to display messages and pfp and not the background

[median warren]

Camo is so ugly

[median warren]

Oh it was struggling in game too

[median warren]

.

[craggy fiber]

it was the background aswell for other things

im gonna try reinstall drivers (as it only started happening after i installed the newest ones)

[deep musk]

Please tell me it’s not actual 5060ti cooler it has to be an old cooler that happened to fit the card, no way they are still using such an old cooler design

[sinful cobalt]

cope

[craggy fiber]

i dont need a usb or anything for that right (to reinstall the drivers)

[deep musk]

Might be the issue (never seen vram failure display stuff like this before)

[deep musk]

It looks so inefficient

[sinful cobalt]

do u have a GPU stronger than a 5060ti?

https://tenor.com/view/arknights-arknights-endfield-perlica-endmin-baby-perlica-gif-1975267551454823672

[median warren]

Just do what it says in the tutorial

[deep musk]

Is there words missing?

[median warren]

I think the word "you" between do and have

[deep musk]

Oh oki

[sinful cobalt]

i thought i typed u lmao

[native path]

yeah, a good feature would be to have a dashboard of sorts to see this

[deep musk]

I have a 6750xt

[median warren]

Yeah imagine if there was like recommendations or watch history, they should add that, would help

Oof , wishing you good luck

Unlucky

[keen folio]

God Microsoft sucks. But I don’t have any other choice as a gamer.

[native path]

youtube should make that feature, in fact we gotta bring it up to them at a cost, we'd be rich

[median warren]

You're a genius frosty

[tall sandal]

Man I’m in a horrible situation

[deep musk]

I game on my Nyarch laptop, didn’t have any issues yet

[tall sandal]

My pc will be bottlenecked by my garbage ram

[deep musk]

Been a couple of months since I switched

[deep musk]

Not a big issue

[tall sandal]

I have no choice, we can’t afford RAM, it’s more than my cpu. All I have is like hand me down ram 32gb DDR5 but it’s so awful. It’s very very poor

It’s 4800 CL 40, it is the worst ram ever.

Have a Ryzen 9 9900x, ram costs more than this

[deep musk]

Especially if it’s ddr5

[tall sandal]

It will be a lot of Preformance loss people said, running with this bad of ram

[native path]

performance loss is better than no pc

get what you can afford

[median warren]

Also it's not that bad

[tall sandal]

however, I did have a laptop with Ryzen 9 8940HX, it had 5200 MT/s, still ran well cpu intensive. It had issues too. We returned it for thermal issues and all

But I don’t know is 5200 vs 4800 that different

[native path]

yeah i ran my ram without EXPO for 6 months because it made my game crash

[median warren]

The perform loss you're talking about is not as bad as people make it out to be

[tall sandal]

6000 is required these days for no loss of performance

[median warren]

It could be better but don't stress about it

[tall sandal]

Yes but it’s CL 40, super high latency

[native path]

im at CL36 iirc

[tall sandal]

Yes but guys on discord said massive performance loss, large loss

looking down on me for me, like I have a choice

[median warren]

Anyone can say anything on discord

[native path]

and here we are telling you it's not that big a deal

[tall sandal]

wallet bottleneck

[native path]

why do you take their word more than mine?

[tall sandal]

How much is it on 9000 series?

[median warren]

Then fuck them, don't bother yourself with those people

[tall sandal]

I just want numbers

I’ve seen for Intel from LTT, but I have Ryzen

[native path]

idk im on a 7800x3d, my brother's on a 9800x3d running 4800mhz cl40 and he's fine

[tall sandal]

You have X3D

[native path]

people gotta stop trying to minmax everything and just enjoy products

[tall sandal]

Performance loss is MUCH less than on non X3D

[median warren]

It's not that big of a deal

[native path]

your pc will work and you have a 9900x why are we complaining

[median warren]

You're not going from 200 FPS to 50 or something, it's seriously not that bad

[tall sandal]

yea but it’s a high end cpu, all this will not be unlocked

[native path]

if you can't afford it then you can't afford it

[native path]

ok and i'm running a 7800x3d with a 3070ti i'm losing so much performance by that

[tall sandal]

that means like it won’t show its full performance, what we paid for

[native path]

there's no reason to be bitching about it

there will always be a bottleneck

[tall sandal]

Yea but I play at 1080p

[native path]

ok???

[tall sandal]

I do CPU intensive things

[native path]

your pc will work and you'll get frames in whatever game you play

[tall sandal]

hmm

[native path]

and it'll work better than 90% of the people with a computer

[median warren]

Yeah seriously, it's not that bad

You don't have to min max it

[native path]

and it's better than 100% of the people without one

[tall sandal]

but with the laptop I had, when we switched form that to pc, cuz laptop this line has really bad QC we returned

[native path]

laptop thermals are very very different than pc thermals

[tall sandal]

it had 5200 MT/s, Ryzen 9 8940hx

[median warren]

Yeah but it's a laptop

[tall sandal]

it preformed really well in cpu intensive games even with its issues with thermals

[native path]

so is this a ram issue or a fan issue

[tall sandal]

so the ram didn’t do much, but it does have a higher speed than the ram we will using when we build pc

[median warren]

And your pc will continue to perform really well too

[tall sandal]

my question is, is 5200 that different from 4800?

[native path]

no it's not

[median warren]

No

[native path]

https://cdn.frroosst.com/VD0KxHn8.mov

[tall sandal]

so it’s not like 6000 vs 4800 right

[native path]

this happened when i turned my gpu on

[native path]

no you're comparing 2 different products

[tall sandal]

Classic ASUS

[median warren]

The difference between those 2 isn't that huge either

[tall sandal]

asus sucks, so bad

[median warren]

They don't tho

[tall sandal]

My ASUS TUF, we just got a refund

[median warren]

Asus makes good motherboards and GPUs and other things

[tall sandal]

Cuz QC so bad

[native path]

great we're on another topic now, sorry tomi

[median warren]

It's okay

[tall sandal]

yea, just frosty bought up the ASUS laptop

so I did it too, with my bad experience

I used to defend ASUS here, but no more.

[steel umbra]

well depends, they also have some real shit as well

[median warren]

@tall sandal what I recommend is for you to chill out and stop worrying about numbers, your pc is good and it will perform as it should. People love to throw the word bottleneck around

[tall sandal]

It was just copium

[median warren]

Yeah they do

[tall sandal]

yea I guess so

[median warren]

No guess so, that is how it is

[tall sandal]

Still prob will performance well

[median warren]

Yeah it will

[tall sandal]

Really wanna play forza horizon 6

[median warren]

You can

[tall sandal]

My GPU, is midrange, cuz yk this is not only for gaming, so cpu performance is important

[median warren]

You can play it

[tall sandal]

5060 ti 8gb, 16Gb so expensive due to ram prices

[median warren]

You can play Forza horizon 6

[native path]

cpu charlie

[tall sandal]

Will run well for prob, I’ve even seen 3060 ti running well

yea of course it will play well at 1080p

[gleaming rose]

beef short ribs

[median warren]

Yeah, and you have access to dlss

Just stop worrying, your pc is good

[tall sandal]

Yea high end other than the GPU

[sleek ibex]

[tall sandal]

high end PC, cuz the components are really good

[median warren]

I don't know if I'd call it high end

[tall sandal]

motherboard is too, cooler

[median warren]

I'd call 9800x3d and above high end

[deep musk]

And 1440p if your willing to turn down some settings

[tall sandal]

it’s still high end CPU

[median warren]

9900x?

[median warren]

It's a good CPU, but not quite up there with the big dogs of 9950x3d

[tall sandal]

Yea

[tall sandal]

Yea

[median warren]

High end stuff has high prices

[tall sandal]

This wasn’t cheap at all

[median warren]

I know it wasn't

[tall sandal]

Motherboard is high quality, same with cooler

case was expensive too

[median warren]

Well I don't know if I'd call a b850 high end motherboard

[tall sandal]

it’s a good b850

[median warren]

But yeah it's a good mid range

[tall sandal]

I’ve seen it has really good VRMs

[median warren]

Yeah you have a good mid range pc

[tall sandal]

Thermal performance

[median warren]

High end motherboards cost more than your graphics card

[tall sandal]

It’s expensive, even without ram it’s a lot

[median warren]

I know, yes

[deep musk]

You probably could have spent less on that aio and got the 5060ti 16gb

[tall sandal]

It’s like 1400 GBP even without putting in ram

[tall sandal]

Nah still not enough

[median warren]

How

[tall sandal]

Price difference is too high

[median warren]

How is it 1400 without ram, what on earth does the money go to

[native path]

wheres the ppp

[tall sandal]

lots of components

[deep musk]

Corsair stuff is very expensive for what it is

[tall sandal]

let me calculate

[native path]

how many storage drives

[deep musk]

140 CAD for 3 rgb fans is mental

[tall sandal]

1

[median warren]

I can't see how £1400 without ram is spent, it's an 8gb 5060ti, a b850 and 9900x

[tall sandal]

SSDs have gotten really expensive too, 1TB ssd

[median warren]

It doesn't add up

[craggy fiber]

i was following it all up until the end because i dont have a new gpu to replace it with so what will happen if i uninstall all the drivers? wouldnt it just not show anything on my screen?

[native path]

1400 gbp without ram?

[tall sandal]

cooler is premium, PSU is expensive

[median warren]

Yeah

[median warren]

I wouldn't call Corsair premium

[deep musk]

@tall sandal what’s your psu?

[tall sandal]

we had budget from laptop money refunded

[native path]

cooler is flashy maybe

[tall sandal]

Corsair RM 850x

[deep musk]

Iirc it’s the person that only wanted to buy through Amazon

[native path]

send the pc part picker

[median warren]

How much have you spent on each component, something is wrong here

[tall sandal]

It doesn’t just matter all price to performance

I’ll send everything hold on

[median warren]

Yeah if you wanted price to performance, you would have got a different aio

[native path]

300 gbp case incoming

[native path]

or a peerless assassin

[median warren]

Still tho

[median warren]

Or that but some just love the look of an aio (me)

[deep musk]

It’s one of the fractal ones with a would front panel

[median warren]

I'm beginning to be really concerned

This pc is not worth most likely £1700 (with ram)

[native path]

phanteks case + peerless assassin + arctic fans and he can get proper memory

2200 usd for a 9900x and 5060ti

[deep musk]

(Might have included the same day shipping price in the total (wouldn’t surprise me)

[slender galleon]

UGREEN DXP4800 Pro for Jellyfin/Immich/Docker: would you rather run 2x 960GB enterprise SSDs in RAID1 for app storage, or 1x 1.92TB enterprise SSD with no redundancy?

[native path]

100% depends what you have on those machines

[median warren]

I feel bad for them because it sounds like they got a really bad deal

[craggy fiber]

how do i resintall the drivers once ive uninstalled i was about to uninstall the drivers but it doesnt go over reinstalling?

[native path]

google your gpu and add "drivers" behind

[deep musk]

Yep

[native path]

im using 2x4TB HDDs with no redundancy, i don't really care much about the stuff on those hard drives

all my containers and VMs are running on a 512gb nvme drive, which also has no redundancy

[deep musk]

I don’t remember if that fractal case is that expensive

[slender galleon]

Jellyfin, Immich, personal cloud storage, some downloads, plus Docker for homelab stuff (maybe qBittorrent/*arr stack, reverse proxy, misc containers). Bulk media/photos will be on 2x 8TB RAID1 either way. Question is just app storage: 2x 960GB enterprise SSD RAID1 vs single 1.92TB enterprise SSD?

[craggy fiber]

yea ik i have them but once ive uninstalled the drivers how do i reinstall them, if i uninstall my gpu drivers wouldnt it just give me a black screen or something?

[slender galleon]

it defaults to microsoft display drivers, so no black screens

[tall sandal]

@median warren

[native path]

if you don't really care much about the data loss then get the extra storage. if it's anything remotely close to something you want to keep forever, get the redundancy

[tall sandal]

CPU 330£, GPU was 350£. That was price on Amazon

[native path]

is this after tax or before

[deep musk]

Why not two 1.92TB? If there’s space for two 960gb there’s space for two 1.92tb

[tall sandal]

Cooler 99

[median warren]

After tax

[slender galleon]

Fair, this is just what I have in house though

[tall sandal]

After tax, it’s included VAT, prices fluctuate a lot on Amazon

[median warren]

You could have saved like £300 if you didn't order all from Amazon and chose a different motherboard, case and aio

[tall sandal]

Couldn’t have known

[native path]

what kind of cpu intensive tasks are you doing

[tall sandal]

mom only orders off Amazon due to good return policy

I suggested but she doesn’t trust Ngl

[deep musk]

That case is really expensive for what it is

[native path]

oh you're the guy who returned his laptop 3 times

[median warren]

Wait until she finds out there's places with better returns policy than Amazon

[craggy fiber]

might be a dumb question but i dont need inegrated graphics or anything for that right

[tall sandal]

the pc building guy said my previous motherboard was bad

[median warren]

She wasted £300

[native path]

nah amazon return policy is elite i cant blame him

[tall sandal]

he recommended this

[deep musk]

Make your own nas/server then that way you use all 3 drives

[median warren]

His mum*

[tall sandal]

Nah me too, that’s why we use Amazon

[deep musk]

How much was the aio and psu and gpu?

[tall sandal]

my mom has specific things, she doesn’t want glass

[median warren]

It's a bad choice to buy everything from 1 website

[tall sandal]

for some reason idk

[median warren]

??

The pc is for you not for her?

[tall sandal]

PSU 125, GPU was like 350, Aio 99£

[median warren]

Like what

[tall sandal]

Nah it’s mine

[deep musk]

There are much cheaper cases with no glass side panels

[tall sandal]

I liked this one

I care abt looks too, it’s a great case

[native path]

why arent we going for this at half the price

[median warren]

There's a thermalright aio for £50 on Amazon that performs better and will last longer and also has rgb

[median warren]

Yeah just overpriced

[slender galleon]

Just keep it plugged in to your GPU, it will default to microsoft's display drivers to get you by until you install your NVIDIA drivers

[tall sandal]

Nah this AIO is top 3 for ryzen 9000 series

I’ve looked at benchmarks

[deep musk]

That aio and psu are really expensive (also, you could have went with a 750 watt psu and a cheaper aio)

[slender galleon]

I could, but I just wanted something simple

[tall sandal]

It preforms very well

[median warren]

That's not how that works

Like yeah some AIOs will be better than others

[native path]

could tell this guy you have both coolers in front of you tried and tested with every cpu on the market and he wouldnt care because he saw a benchmark on youtube

[tall sandal]

aren’t you the guy who said just enjoy pc and don’t worry the ram and just enjoy pc

[craggy fiber]

right and before i restart and go into safemode which one do i click once about to uninstall

[tall sandal]

I didn’t wanna loose money from the laptop

I earned that 1500£.

[native path]

yes

[median warren]

Yeah because you were worried about your ram. But you wasted like £300 by overspending on parts where you could have gotten a better deal

[tall sandal]

But if I had gotten a more beefy GPU, then not enough money for other parts

[native path]

not if you save money on the other parts

[median warren]

No because if you optimised your parts you could have got a 5060ti 16gb version

[native path]

you're worried about the wrong things

[median warren]

For the same money

[tall sandal]

The difference isn’t that much at 1080p

[native path]

you never answered what cpu intensive tasks you're doing btw

[tall sandal]

I’ve checked, my mom won’t let me a new monitor

I’m stuck with 1080p

[deep musk]

With home built you get expandability, flexibility and probably more control (unless you want ugreen’s app/ecosystem

[median warren]

It's 8gb vs 16gb, it's a big difference and I wouldn't suggest 8gb cards in 2026

[tall sandal]

Engineering related work, simulations etc

Softwares that do lots of calculations.

[median warren]

What is this dynamic, isn't it your own money? Why does she get so much say in what you can't or can have

[tall sandal]

That multi core matters how fast it’s finished

[deep musk]

1080p is still pretty good

[native path]

i see

[slender galleon]

It was honestly cheaper than buying an N300 series board and building on that

[median warren]

Then you could have gotten an intel 270k plus with 24 cores, which is £273

[deep musk]

Those programs love ram and vram

[native path]

i still dont see why you don't get a peerless assassin and a cheaper motherboard

16gb vram vs 8gb vram is like a massive difference

[tall sandal]

Nah it’s their money, they got the laptop. And I don’t wanna any money to be gone from that.

[native path]

compared to 4800 and 6000mhz

[tall sandal]

Cheaper mobos I’ve checked have bad VRM cooling

[median warren]

All we're saying is you spent your money really inefficiently and you could have gotten a better deal and had the same or better performance

[native path]

yeah i give up on you

[tall sandal]

I’ve never built

[native path]

buy the pc

[deep musk]

Ohhh you were planning on these boards, yeah ugreen’s proposition will probably be better than a celeron based system

[tall sandal]

You can’t blame me, I just went with what was suggested from my friend

He’s a professional gamer, he said my parts were good, he checked prices

[native path]

spend 1800gbp on a 9900x and 5060ti and 4800mhz memory

and yes i will be judging and making fun everytime i see you mention it

[median warren]

Professional gamer

[tall sandal]

We talked with him, I thought he knew what he was doing. Said it’s prefect for me

[native path]

we tried to help and you're just being ignorant

[deep musk]

You can look at the coolers on the pics and watch reviews if you’re still not sure

[tall sandal]

I have

[median warren]

I can blame you, watch multiple videos and scour the internet, do your own research and put effort into it, ask multiple people on the Ltt discord

[tall sandal]

This motherboard I got, had really good quality

[native path]

dude you already made up your mind on the parts

[tall sandal]

I know

[native path]

clearly there's nothing we can say that will stop you

[median warren]

And yet it won't make a difference if you bought that or the £110 frosty suggested

[tall sandal]

But why is it bad? I don’t get it

[native path]

because it's not worth the money and there are cheaper and better parts

[median warren]

Because you overspent on parts and wasted money

[native path]

but it doesn't matter because your mind is made up and you don't care

[tall sandal]

Which parts did I pay too much on?

The cooler, motherboard and PSU right?

[median warren]

Almost all of it

[deep musk]

“Professional gamer” =/= good pc builder, in fact it usually means very clueless pc builder/IT technician

[native path]

case, motherboard, cooler, cpu

[tall sandal]

How would I have known

My mom trusted him

We picked it out together.

[median warren]

And storage, there's a 2250 version of the p510 2tb that's going around for £170

[native path]

i work in cybersecurity you should trust me 🤓

[median warren]

Ask people who know what they're talking about

Not someone who claims to be a professional gamer

[native path]

you gotta realise he wasnt here asking for help - he was asking about memory speed differences

[median warren]

Which probably means he peaked diamond in valorant/league

[deep musk]

Many of the 130 CAD am4 mobo have pretty decent coolers (literally cheapest am4 mobo at Canada computer, haven’t checked am5 yet but I’m sure it follows the same trend)

[tall sandal]

Yea

[median warren]

Yeah

[native path]

you're talking to a brick wall

[median warren]

Alright well I've said what I wanted to, no point in repeating myself

[tall sandal]

Look how would I have known

I clearly made a mistake taking advice from that guy

man this is bad. It’s bad isn’t it

[native path]

idk you've been in this server for 6 months i would've assumed you like ask a question or something

[tall sandal]

so what did I miss out on?

[native path]

no it's not a big deal you still have a good pc

[tall sandal]

Just too excited. Couldn’t think straight

[native path]

if you've already bought it then forget about it lol

[deep musk]

He might have great advices, but you should never get info/advices from only one source, always broaden your sources

[tall sandal]

yk had so many issues, with the laptop.

[native path]

ok you've gotta be ragebaiting now

[tall sandal]

yea, but it’s still really good components

so just to know @median warren

[deep musk]

To be fair you probably had to follow a basic it class at one point

[tall sandal]

If I didn’t make this bad mistakes, what could I have gotten instead?

[native path]

guys i started a new terraria world

[tall sandal]

What did I miss out on in terms of Preformance

[deep musk]

He might be able to return some of them

[deep musk]

Nicey

[tall sandal]

mom won’t like that

she’s like talking to a brick wall sometimes lmao

[native path]

uh huh

[tall sandal]

I’ll loose everything

[native path]

apple doesnt fall far from the tree

[deep musk]

Your 3D rendering programs will lag on big objects due to the lack of vram

[median warren]

Better GPU, cpu

[deep musk]

Why does she only use Amazon for their return policy then?

[tall sandal]

Cuz she only uses Amazon

Nothing else

[median warren]

I could have been able to squeeze a 270k plus with 24 cores and a 5060ti with 16gb vram in there

[tall sandal]

270k plus is better

But it wouldn’t be like a 270 plus 5070

Even this amount would not be enough

[median warren]

Optimising parts and ordering form other sources, I could have saved close to £400, with that budget it would have been a 270k plus and a 5060ti 16gb/5070

It is possible, and it would have been a much better deal

[deep musk]

No, less vram, in your use case you want vram over power, not the opposite

[median warren]

Yeah and the 9060xt 16gb exists for less £400 too

[tall sandal]

The things I do, is more heavy on CPU than GPU

GPU for gaming on the side

[median warren]

You're actually ragebaiting and just repeating the same fucking points over and over and over and over again

You are a brick wall

[tall sandal]

I should leave

[native path]

you've been englightened
