What the helly

[merry stirrup]

5.6 at what, 1.22v? load

[turbid locust]

somewhere around there

[merry stirrup]

yeah i doubt youll be abl;e to go any lower

[turbid locust]

Idk apparently the VID is a lie if you don’t have AC = DC LL

[merry stirrup]

im not talking about vid im talking about actual vcore

i also read that message string and i dont understand what he was trying to say

[turbid locust]

idk apparently VID readout in HWinfo isn’t accurate unless you set AC = DC, with the flattest LLC you can set

[merry stirrup]

im not using vid readout

to me its simply a better way to undervolt cause it doesnt affect the idle and low load/clock scenarios

you can setup turbo voltages or run offsets at X freq but that is just a slower way to get to the same result imo

im not lying to anyone im simply running a lower voltage than stock

[fringe vigil]

save the world or play gta 6 but after it the world ends

you already know which one I’m choosing

[livid flame]

Save the world because GTA is … unpopular opinion but, it’s honestly not that great.

[granite dirge]

Well that was quick.. mom and I got in and out of Ikea in 23 mins

[wraith steeple]

We're lucky to even get out in two hours out of Ikea

[thick frost]

That’s where front panel connectors go right

Next to the 24 pin

[wraith steeple]

IDE cable connection

[devout ridge]

no, further down

or wait are you talking about the already installed pins to the left of the blue connector?

if so, maybe i can't see

[thick frost]

The already installed ones are the fpanel yes

[granite dirge]

Was getting a new kallax and some inserts.

[hoary hatch]

I've had some efficient Ikea trips
If you don't count the 30-40 minutes drive each way

[wraith steeple]

Whenever I and other IRL folks go, we end up planning on a couple things..... Then end up leaving with those things as well as others that never crossed our minds

Also testing the furniture section is oddly amusing and charming

[lone nova]

can someone help me with power button not turning on while connected to front panel or screw driver method not working too

[hoary hatch]

Oh what the FUCK

My mans letting his PC rot while using GeForce now 😭

[shell void]

[thick frost]

automatically doesn’t have a 9950 and a 5090

[wraith steeple]

Hyte rep

[thick frost]

know your place, trash

[hoary hatch]

It's like owning a Ferrari and leaving it in the garage it's entire life while driving your civic to work

[hoary hatch]

Oh wait that's what people actually do

[thick frost]

There’s a worry you’ll actually hurt a Ferrari while driving it

[wraith steeple]

I very much do know my place

[thick frost]

At the minimum

[lone nova]

what a useful ass chat lmfao

[shell void]

this pre-applied thermalpaste pattern that Silverstone put on their STR5 AIO pleases me

[devout ridge]

hexagon better

[thick frost]

I built with one of those at my work last week, it actually was pretty neat

In that exact asus pro board ironically lol

[shell void]

must be fun playin with big hardware

[wraith steeple]

[thick frost]

can say that I suppose

[wraith steeple]

[shell void]

oh that's the TRX50 version rather than the WRX90, but still very cool

[wraith steeple]

Actually hot

[thick frost]

That’s a threadripper in the pic

Is wrx90 like a higher end board or something

[shell void]

yah WRX90 is for the threadripper pro cpus with 8 channel memory

[thick frost]

Ah

Makes sense

[wraith steeple]

[thick frost]

I kept the box and the torque wrench and the asetec adapter lol

[shell void]

that is at least a few cores

[wraith steeple]

Q: How many cores and threads do you want?
A:

[thick frost]

$6000 chip if I remember correctly

[peak axle]

How do I open safe mode

[fringe vigil]

bro has a watermelon helmet

[thick frost]

The streets are tough

[fringe vigil]

Fr

[thick frost]

plug a molex into your motherboard

[edgy laurel]

Surely google figured it out by now, but if not.

[shell void]

oh god

[thick frost]

Folding it shouldn’t be a challenge at least, it’s pretty durable at that

[edgy laurel]

❤️ No hitching.

[shell void]

it survived the bend test spectacularly surprisingly

[thick frost]

joke cuz it’s a folding phone

Same sleving yet different connectors why

[wraith steeple]

Help me refresh my memory, do you have a Y60?

[edgy laurel]

https://www.reddit.com/r/Witcher4/comments/1mazs4r/epic_gameshoursemarque_engineer_working_with_cdpr/

This is actually a really interesting post and included videos regarding work being done in optimization/stutter elimination.

[thick frost]

Had, but yes

I junked it when I found an nzxt phantom for free

[wraith steeple]

[thick frost]

I don’t make the rules

[wraith steeple]

I have one in the downstairs living room

[thick frost]

I don’t think you realize how rough of condition it was in lol

[wraith steeple]

Like how bad we talking here?

[thick frost]

Had it cuz it was better than what housed that hardware before

[pure garnet]

they played the z fold 7 ad 3x before my movie and i was starting to fall for it too

[thick frost]

Bent to shit panels, the corner glass got shattered, the panels didn’t clip on because they were bent and the connectors that held them on were broke

[wraith steeple]

[thick frost]

the phantom doesn’t have a pretty inside but it’s better than the Y60

[shell void]

i need to stop looking at videos of it, it makes me want it

although the inner screen being soft plastic like the switch 2 is kinda gross

as is the inner screen camera

[pure garnet]

the switch 2 is glass with 40 layers of plastic in front of it nerd emoji

[thick frost]

I realize that all my old custom computers all have different cases than they did a year ago lmao

Factually correct

8 don’t even fucking think about the 4

8 is barely enough today let alone tomorrow

[wraith steeple]

I've built a loop in that case (it's BassBone ofc he would) and it's fairly limited in terms of rad compatibility though considering we were looking for something fairly compact it was more than fine with the components being cooled. 360 on top and 380 on side

[thick frost]

Do you mean 280 in the side

[wraith steeple]

Eh you get what I mean

[thick frost]

if you meant a y70 it would make sense

[wraith steeple]

Here it is powered on with Rainbow vomit and in UV Purple mode

360 and 280 is a tight fit but doable

[thick frost]

Love it, here’s mine. Purple is my favorite colour

I hope you don’t have the stupid screen in the corner panel though

[wraith steeple]

Nope

[thick frost]

Good

[wraith steeple]

The only screens you see are the High Flow Next, D5 Next pump, and leakshield. Found the side panel screen to be a bit unnecessary

[thick frost]

B550 with that amount of effort?

Sounds a bit under specd lol

[wraith steeple]

TBF it was made with all the components I had on hand

[thick frost]

Ah ofcourse you just had all that on hand

It was so obvious how couldn’t I have known

Lmao

not that I can criticize

[devout ridge]

AAAAAAAAAAH

[wraith steeple]

Ryzen 9 5950X and RX 6900XT

[thick frost]

Still lol

[shell void]

this arctic str5 cooler looks so cheap

[thick frost]

Function over form

[shell void]

it doesnt look like itll function well

[edgy laurel]

forgoing cosmetics in favor of performance and low price, nothing wrong with that

[shell void]

the heatsink fins are barely machined and they dont have a coldplate

the actual aesthetic is fine, it just looks like itll perform bad for how large it is

[edgy laurel]

its been out for a while, i'm sure its been tested

[devout ridge]

the IHS is basically the cold plate

[shell void]

arctic please put a real coldplate on the next one and just charge $10 more

i promise nobody is gonna care about another $10 on a cooler for their $2500-10,000 cpu

[devout ridge]

Would it be better to get the Bambu P1S or the Elegoo Saturn 4 Ultra 16k

[shell void]

idk what either of those are boss

[thick frost]

3D printers

I still don’t know, I just have an anycubic Kobra 2

[devout ridge]

One is a standard 3d printer, one is a resin printer

[topaz veldt]

I feel like thread ripper gets no love at all and all of the heatsinks are like this

[shell void]

silverstone has a nice tr5 AIO but that's about all that ive found

where's the nhd15-g2-tr5?

with a monster fatass coldplate

[devout ridge]

what is with you and coldplates

[shell void]

they look cool

[edgy laurel]

direct contact heatpipes aren't a new concept

[shell void]

yeah my 6900xt gaming trio had direct contact heatpipes and the hotspot temperature was always horrific even with ptm7950 and washers for extra mounting pressure

it's just cost cutting

[devout ridge]

you see them one time

[edgy laurel]

and the market for a cooler like that Arctic are office workstations where I don't think they care what the coldplate side looks like, nor will they ever see it.

[shell void]

coldplates look nicer and perform better

@topaz veldt god forbid i dont want a cheap piece of shit heatsink on my $2500 cpu

[topaz veldt]

heh - yeah i think you mostly get stuff aimed at like Dell/HPE workstations.

[edgy laurel]

Well, at least Arctic understands you're not the market for it

[devout ridge]

Leaning towards a Saturn 4 so i don't have to deal with dessicant

[shell void]

you need this jawn for your gh200 machines

[topaz veldt]

haha - would never fit

what the heck is that even geared toward

[shell void]

GH200 workstations i guess

to cool 1000w quietly in a more normal case

[devout ridge]

Probably people that do development work with a GH200, that way they can have a quieter cooling solution

[topaz veldt]

I don't even know if you can buy them standalone

The main point of them is nvlink

[shell void]

their dual 120mm tower cooler totally disappeared off of the roadmap

[topaz veldt]

is black nh-d15 g2 coming i wonder

they told use soon but

[shell void]

it says q3 2025 as of now so it should be soon

juicy

though i feel like the tan and brown is half of the reason that you buy noctua

[topaz veldt]

it looks good in the right system

[shell void]

here it is i knew i wasnt crazy

it disappeared

[heavy mantle]

144mb

[topaz veldt]

yep

[shell void]

those specs are incorrect

[heavy mantle]

Wha

[pure garnet]

is that why you deshrouded it

[shell void]

yeah that only gave me like a 4c drop it was disappointing

the heat just cant get into the heatsink

[pure garnet]

msi cooked on the gaming trio for the 5070ti

this cool is amazing for how thing it is

[shell void]

for realskies and it's totally silent on the stock profile

[pure garnet]

38c at 160w

[hollow hull]

waiting for the arc b770

[shell void]

these CPUs arent coming out until the end of 2026 so this could change, but as of now in the early ES stage:

Novalake-S
"Coyote Cove" P cores, "Arctic Wolf" E and LPE cores
(8P 16E)+(8P 16E)+(4LPE) 72MB L3
(8P 16E)+(4LPE) 144MB L3
(8P 16E)+(4LPE) 36MB L3
(4P 8E)+(4LPE) 20MB L3
These CPUs will be the first in desktops to support AVX10.2 and by extension AVX512

New Memory Controller, the recommended memory config is two single rank DIMMs at 8000MT/s

48x total PCIE lanes, 24x 5.0 from the CPU, 8x 5.0 from the Chipset, and 16x 4.0 from the Chipset
(4x 5.0 DMI link from CPU to Chipset)

Xe3 iGPU
Xe4 Display & Media Engine
NPU6 (75 TOPs)

sadly i dont think we'll get to have two core chiplets and extra cache

i cant wait until 2H 2026 man i need new CPUs NOW

i have core count fever

[pure garnet]

get the 9950x3d epyc

[shell void]

would you like to purchase my above average 9800x3d

[heavy mantle]

Ahh alr so these may or may not be as good ad what they seem to be unfortunately

[shell void]

join around the campfire and pray to saint patrick gelsinger that pantherlake and novalake are successful

[pure garnet]

not rn but maybe later on

[shell void]

[pure garnet]

i’ve blown like 2 grand on tech stuff i’m good for now brochacho

[edgy laurel]

oddest airflow patter you could have come up with, gg

[hollow hull]

I question xigmatek's design choices

[wraith steeple]

[edgy laurel]

well, in theory.. at least.

not that it matters all that much with just a CPU to cool

but that sort of case really lends itself to bottom intake, top exhaust

[hoary hatch]

put this on your am4 chip

[livid flame]

Your ATX 12v / 24pin needs pushing in completely

[turbid locust]

all those cores to play Wizard 101

[shell void]

yeah what about it buster

[turbid locust]

Mike hate to break it to you

from a user experience side of things

I cannot tell the difference between my 7700x and 14900k lmao

[edgy laurel]

is this a surprise? lol

[pure garnet]

i can tell between my 7800x3d and my 12900ks because amd usb ports act up with apple devices for some reason

[devout ridge]

what apple devices are you using on a desktop?

[edgy laurel]

probably just that board

[tropic idol]

Is it normal to be able to stably push +1200mhz on memory a 2060 super?

[turbid locust]

To me? no. lol. But mike was acting like the general daily use was gonna be "snappier" lmao

[turbid locust]

+1200 on what

[tropic idol]

Memory

[pure garnet]

restoring iphones/ipods

[turbid locust]

oh uh yeah maybe

[pure garnet]

it's a "known" issue with amd chips, one of the jailbreaks blacklist them for that reason

[devout ridge]

that card hasn't ever been relevant in the OC space, so idk

[young void]

If you dont mess with the core to much probs only testing would tell

[tropic idol]

Oh yeah I know it hasn’t been but I’m getting 9450 graphics score in timespy which is defo punching above its weight class

[shell void]

brain clock too low

[turbid locust]

yeah fs

[shell void]

i have learned something from mr skatterbencher

i was not aware that STR5 cpus cannot run UCLK=MCLK, theyre like intel CPUs

[south shuttle]

i play diep io with a 3090

[shell void]

you are always in 1:2 mode and should just push clocks if possible

[devout ridge]

are there any 2u lga1700 servers?

[topaz veldt]

That kinda sucks

[shell void]

ehhhhh

it limits you to 24GB dimms if you care about decent memory performance but 4x24 or 8x24 is plenty anyhow

unless there are 32GB 1R RDIMMs, i havent looked

[turbid locust]

I think I need a 5090

[shell void]

indubitably

[wraith steeple]

[shell void]

flip the 5070ti and then go to bestbuy and ask them to order you a 5090fe

[pure garnet]

5070ti to 5090 is meta upgrade path

[shell void]

extremely optimal

[wraith steeple]

double VRAM go brrr

[turbid locust]

naw

[pure garnet]

i must get 5090 astral to replace my 5070ti

[turbid locust]

I have a car to speedrun pay off

intel not safe

[shell void]

Asus TRX50/WRX90 Sage have these presets

[turbid locust]

man I hate when download mirrors are slow af

[shell void]

i need to stop looking at this stuff for real

i do not need to desire a 9970x and 4x24 8000

[indigo walrus]

How... embarassing.

[shell void]

[turbid locust]

mike is this server shit or is it actually attainable HEDT shit

[wraith steeple]

I'm waiting for a game ISO for Dolphin to finish downloading

[turbid locust]

Yeah I noticed after I continued anyway

The Intel layoffs are going hard ig

[shell void]

it's server shit that's like 75% disabled and then sold to consumers as overpriced HEDT

9970X is 32c64t and quad channel with 80 pcie lanes

[turbid locust]

awesome

ts should be illegal

[pure garnet]

you need it

[turbid locust]

KILObytes bro

[pure garnet]

that's like the hynix site

[shell void]

surely there are not so many people downloading presentmon that everyone is limited to 621KB/s

youre being rate limited for whatever reason

[pure garnet]

i downloaded my p41 firmware off some random guys google drive because it was it was in the bytes per second from sk hynix

[devout ridge]

what's the cheapest 1tb ssd that is TLC

[edgy laurel]

the literal cheapest?

[young void]

Team group maybe or pny hrmm?

[edgy laurel]

M.2?

[devout ridge]

M.2, yeah

[edgy laurel]

we don't have to guess, PCPP will do the work as long as we get details

[devout ridge]

gen4 preferablyh

[young void]

I forget pcpp has quick prices

[devout ridge]

i can't sort by TLC vs QLC tho

[young void]

[edgy laurel]

cheapest 1TB TLC on PCPP https://pcpartpicker.com/product/wGXV3C/leven-jps600-1-tb-m2-2280-pcie-30-x4-nvme-solid-state-drive-jps600-1tb

[shell void]

that is maximum buns

[south shuttle]

Leven

[turbid locust]

damn the cinebench accelerators really only accelerate cinebench huh

[young void]

At $47 she's cheap though $6-$10 difference between most the other low ends*

[edgy laurel]

the cheapest Gen4's come in both QLC and TLC and there is no way to tell which you're buying

[south shuttle]

i’ve never heard of that brand tbh

is that drive reliable?

which controller does it use

[edgy laurel]

I have no idea, i've never heard of it either. PCPP > sort by price

which is what was asked

[devout ridge]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/VTP2Dj

I hear good things

[edgy laurel]

beat you by 5 days #tech-chat-2 message

[pure garnet]

was this the controller that lost all smart data

[turbid locust]

Why does Oblivion Remastered freak tf out when you put it in fullscreen

[pure garnet]

bro that game is eternally broken

[edgy laurel]

In fact you were part of that lol

[shell void]

[edgy laurel]

its 2025, just set borderless

[pure garnet]

https://www.reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/comments/1f1piwf/psa_phison_e18_based_ssd_owners_update_your/ it was in fact that controller

probably fixed by now i'd hope

[turbid locust]

I literally didnt even mean to, I was flipping through the choices and now it's stuck and infinitely running at 1fps even after restarting the game

[shell void]

[wraith steeple]

Oblivion dialogue ranks right up there with Shenmue

[shell void]

manufacturers launch ssds with good firmware challenge

[south shuttle]

you’re lucky if you manage to get good hardware

[pure garnet]

970 evo plus was the last set and forget ssd i’ve owned

[south shuttle]

even sn770 and their similar counterparts had fw issues

[pure garnet]

all of my other ones have needed firmware updates

[topaz veldt]

Yeah though prob cl52 with trefi of 1300

[shell void]

p41 and 990 pro had issues too

[pure garnet]

i mean the sn770 is hmb garbage tbf

[edgy laurel]

I don't understand comments like this when its blatantly false.

[topaz veldt]

Did you see p41 supposedly fixed

[shell void]

i think you linked me that months ago and i never updated

[pure garnet]

my p41s haven’t broken again since the firmware update

[topaz veldt]

I think it might be newer than months

[shell void]

the 7600 profile is cl36 and skatter ran it with 65535trefi and 720trfc

[south shuttle]

now wait until you see the not just fw issues with smaller manufacturers that constantly change the hardware to save costs

(not just small companies)

[shell void]

the race to bottom price has disastrous consequences

[shell void]

and this was with 8 dimms on the 9975wx

[topaz veldt]

Interesting, what's different

[shell void]

i think 4x24 8000 is feasible

[wraith steeple]

"Years ago I was Chinese" is a classic line for sure

[shell void]

he posted 8400 and could test for a couple hours but wasnt fully stable

[south shuttle]

that was fast

[young void]

Be like that sometimes but not bads

[topaz veldt]

How much are these jawns

[shell void]

too much

[topaz veldt]

Yeah prob

[shell void]

gskill oc'ed rdimm kits are hilariously overpriced

[topaz veldt]

Nah CPUs

[shell void]

oh the 9970x is $2500

[topaz veldt]

Hm

[shell void]

id just grab 24GB 6400MT/s hynix greenies for $100ea i think

[pure garnet]

you’re gonna end up on hedt by the end of next month

[topaz veldt]

Nah I'm GPU broke now

[pure garnet]

i meant michael

[topaz veldt]

Oh

[shell void]

[topaz veldt]

I'll just get some testers from work

[shell void]

those are mrdimms init

they dont work on str5

[topaz veldt]

I'm... Yes probably

That's lame

Str5 isn't real shit then

[shell void]

yeah it's noobish

[topaz veldt]

Lame

[shell void]

unsurprisingly intel paves the way with new tech and amd adopts it later

[topaz veldt]

Yeah

No bites on my z890 board

Might have to build something

[shell void]

is it the mitx one

[topaz veldt]

Yeah

[shell void]

asrock mitx z890 is about as niche as it gets for diy tbh

[topaz veldt]

It's popular on OCN for mem oc

Dom likes it apparently

[shell void]

the scrubs on there dont wanna buy it from you?

[pure garnet]

aren’t most tuners on 1700 still/am5

what tier of hardware actually justifies owning a mora

[south shuttle]

do you have the mo-ra exploding mid air and turning whole earth into an ice cube

[shell void]

IMO a HEDT CPU or power modded 5090

i imagine it's just fun to play with and look at though

i like the aesthetic of a tiny pc with a huge external radiator

Depends entirely on the games you want to play.

[cobalt walrus]

Minecraft runs fine on integrated graphics

[livid flame]

6gb vram bare minimum? You work for Radeon or Nvidia?

That’s a crazy take.

[latent juniper]

It probably is the minimum for modern unoptimized triple a games atp

As crazy as it sounds

[livid flame]

I mean, I play pubg, an online only game from what 2018? In 1080p, all low settings it will go to 6.2gb

I wouldn’t even call it minimum for unoptimised AAA games.

I’d actually have to render 1080p at less than 100% to play comp settings in a game from 2018 on a 2060 6gb. I’d call 8gb the bare minimum.

I know it’s completely impractical but I really want to see if it would be possible to emulate early DDR1 memory with like a modern SSD. Like the latency would still be awful, but I feel like it could still be done

Anything prepaid should be illegal

Why

[strange ginkgo]

weak

[rare prawn]

What the best option for a low lat hdmi or displayport cable with 4k 120hz from bedroom to basement to do what linus did with his pc but use amd

Cpu

That just the house use power over night

[frosty prism]

your ram slow as balls

i got 6400MT at 1:1

[strange ginkgo]

more = more better

[rare prawn]

?

I did not even know powe was pre-paid we pay monthly for it

[strange ginkgo]

i pay a fixed monthly price and at the end of the year i either get money back or they tell me how much i still owe them

[rare prawn]

How i would do pre paid is uou pay x amount a month for access to power

And then you pay per kwh in pre buy pack

[strange ginkgo]

here they would turn my power off if i stop paying them my electricity bill they would send me a letter to pay within 2 weeks and after that they could turn my power off

[meager oasis]

lemme guess, you live somewhere in the states...

[strange ginkgo]

germany

[rare prawn]

Is thsg all you have

[meager oasis]

damn. I'd heard about that kind of thing down south, but never anywhere else in the world. that's trash.

[rare prawn]

Lol my dad would say save what you have till you rainy day money of month cost of living and use what pc you have

[rare prawn]

At least no huge bill in mail

At least you javs oke my sister have a mac book air 2013 with 4 gig of ram yes 4g and told to be happy she have 15k and told to save for a rainy day

And blame update

[strange ginkgo]

at some point I'll probably invest in solar and big batteries to get more independent from the grid
even if it end up costing me more that it saves

same for me at the moment. but that will change eventually

[fringe vigil]

Dih

[wispy ember]

The new iron batteries are pretty good for such projects

[rare prawn]

Luck i can't evn aford one it rent is 1.2k a month and they want people to make 3x that when normal income is around 2k

[wispy ember]

They don't have the same energy density of lipos but they last a lot more cycles

[frosty prism]

o hey look your front panel connectors are no longer connected to the speaker header

since that is where it tends to be unless its a long as thing

hi i recently updated my bios after which audio has stopped working and i am unable to change the scale through display settings any help please

chinese reviews of the new 4th gen woled monitor panel have been posted

better SPD and 340nits fullscreen brightness confirmed

@steel stream @edgy laurel

now we need to fast forward to 2H 2026 so i can get a glossy 2160p version

[turbid locust]

I will enjoy my C4 for as long as my upgrade-itus will allow

[topaz veldt]

it would make for easier in-case config. I am 35% EPDM lines now anyway.

[heavy spire]

Still on my C2, will probably wait for a 240hz version to hit the market before I upgrade

[turbid locust]

Yeah same. My C4 but 240hz would be perfection for me.

[heavy spire]

Does the C4 have any low light flickering with VRR enabled?

Only thing I dislike about the C2

[turbid locust]

It does under really weird circumstances

I’ve only ever noticed it if my side monitors aren’t also set to 144hz.

If my sides are set to say 165hz, my C4 flickers

[heavy spire]

Yeah, think thats my issue as well

[turbid locust]

But if they’re all set to 144hz, no flicker

[heavy spire]

Might be time to replace this Sony X900E. Closing in on 50 000 hours on it and the picture is still top tier, but 60hz is a bit low. Even for a 2nd monitor

[topaz veldt]

Hm

I have a G4 and notice no VRR issues at all, but I don't have any additional monitors

[heavy spire]

Some oleds can have issues when used with multiple monitors running different refresh rates

Some have issues with it alone as well

[topaz veldt]

Yeah the only time I have a secondary monitor on an OLED setup here has always had the same refresh

321URX + G9, both are 240

I just put another 5090 in my 285K G9 Neo build, and it has some fucked up flicker issue on the desktop. I remember this issue on my other PC with 5090 also. Annoying.

[heavy spire]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_ZMmMWi_yA

Some examples

[topaz veldt]

yeah have seen it

I have this issue: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/forums/geforce-graphics-cards/5/556750/rtx-5090-astral-g-sync-desktop-flicker/

I am going to try HDMI

[turbid locust]

Yeah like my C4 has some egregious flicker unless I do what I said above

[heavy spire]

Interesting, havent seen that issue

[topaz veldt]

It seems specific to Samsung G9s (maybe others) and Gsync on 5090s

my 5090 TUF OC when I first got it was in my "garage" PC on air and I have a G9 Neo out there and it did it I was like omg this GPU is bork3d. But, nope, now two differen 5090 Master Ice have done it also

[shell void]

my c4 42 gets egregious vrr flicker in game menus where the framerate is fluctuating, but in actual gameplay i’ve never noticed it

[topaz veldt]

yeah

[granite dirge]

I wish I could figure out a solution for getting my case to fit in the Ikea shelf... I used the Amazon measurements... Not thinking to use the measurements on the manufacturer page cause I thought they would be the same and now the car is a little under half a inch too tall to fit in the Ikea kallax TV unit shelf space..

[rare prawn]

why is the gpu bus inteface at 100% when a game is playing

[topaz veldt]

no options really

[granite dirge]

Only thing I could think of is shaving it. But that is half it's thickness... The case has built in dimple feet in the back so can't pound those in. And not sure if front aluminum feet are even removable so I think it's just gonna live atop the unit .. sadly.

[topaz veldt]

any feet will be removable

I'd remove feet first

do you have a wood router?

[granite dirge]

I do not.

But also the feet in rear of case are like part of the motherboard tray and not removable. Or in a position I feel that if they were .... Forcefully massaged to be smaller. They may short the motherboard.

[topaz veldt]

what case?

[granite dirge]

Silverstone gd11

[topaz veldt]

Does it come white?

[granite dirge]

No idea. But the black gives nice contrast as I'm no longer doing white build

[topaz veldt]

Not sure why you can't just remove all the feet

[granite dirge]

Those ones in rear aren't feet

Their literally the bottom of the case

[topaz veldt]

they appear just stuck on

[rare prawn]

what do this mean

[frosty prism]

You can remove em

The rubber feet are just double side taped on while the metal ones I think have screws

[frosty prism]

Well "metal"

[rare prawn]

along with this and some slgiht lag

[topaz veldt]

yeah that embossing looks like a stamped spot to stick feet on from below, very common

[granite dirge]

It's a PCI Express 5.0.buss at 16x length. And using. 8.0gt speed of the max 32gy speed.

[rare prawn]

is it a problme since there odd lag

[granite dirge]

That would depend on your hardware.

[topaz veldt]

@edgy laurel this takes me back dude

[fringe vigil]

No black only

[granite dirge]

Hoping this works out later when I look it over after work.

[rare prawn]

5600x 5070

[topaz veldt]

It may not bring the height down enough but thats usually just sticky

probably like a 4/10

[granite dirge]

Gonna measure the feet before removing them .

[topaz veldt]

Some actual design mishaps there, and some asthetic ones

[frosty prism]

You can't even use it

[topaz veldt]

You_can_ with igpu

[frosty prism]

I do not think that case is meant for long boards

[topaz veldt]

its a shame that the motherboard overhangs the fans so bad'

[frosty prism]

He does not have one

[topaz veldt]

then yeah that's unfortunate

[rare prawn]

i get randome lag when scrolling in discord and other place

[frosty prism]

He also plugged his front panel stuff I to the speaker port

[topaz veldt]

learning experience I guess. @astral forge why did you ping me specifically for input on it though?

[granite dirge]

Case is 176mm space to fit it in is 165mm so hoping I can drop it 11mm.

[topaz veldt]

going to be ultra close

might be able to remove the top of the case maybe that would spare a couple mm

[granite dirge]

Flush top to the front frame so not sure but I'll check thanks for the help so far snail.

[rare prawn]

how to tell why it hapen

[topaz veldt]

I have had these struggles with my htpc/sff stuff

I wanted to run the Jonsbo C6 ITX case but it required I remove the shelves in my tv console and looked weird

so my one HTPC is a white O11 Dynamic (original) stuffed behind a console/loveseat and my other is a Terra

also bro plugged in every front panel connector

arguably a better builder than me

gpu 8pin should be coming out the bottom

[pure garnet]

i do that on every case but the meshify because i don’t want the hdd light

[wraith steeple]

[merry stirrup]

i plug in literally only the power button

newer cases dont even have hdd lights anymore

nzxt just makes them a block so i’m stuck plugging everything in

First time was like a month after building a pc

Didn't even plan to go but was at Disneyland and my roommate forgot his camera battery charger

[hoary hatch]

Actually was like 2 weeks after building my 1080ti/2700x pc

Second time just stopped by while driving through California to show microcenter to the gf

[merry stirrup]

ah nice

1080ti what a baller

high end gaming in 2018

[hoary hatch]

Bought an hour after 2080 reviews dropped

[merry stirrup]

yeah and i bet you didnt regret it 💀

[hoary hatch]

"damn that's super disappointing"

[merry stirrup]

yeah 2080 and 2080ti not being much faster was L

esp at the price the 2080ti was

[hoary hatch]

What a bad launch

[merry stirrup]

(a million dollars)

1200$ bro 😭

for THAT?!

[frosty prism]

2025

no but for budget gamers even in 2025 its still holding up stronger then you would think

[hoary hatch]

We're talking about 2018

Back when sim was a fetus

[fervent scaffold]

My 11gb evga gtx1080ti still does way more than i think it will every time

[frosty prism]

the guy who picked my 1080 ti pc up yesterday was big happy

[merry stirrup]

theyre okay today but im not super into anything without nvenc2 or rt

[hoary hatch]

Absolute trash at the time
Nearly double what brand new 1080ti were selling for, same vram capacity, and a very moderate performance uplift
Plus the headline feature literally wasn't available at launch

[fervent scaffold]

I just put it into a PC for my buddy tho

[frosty prism]

nvenc2

[merry stirrup]

yeah 30% for 50% more money

[frosty prism]

the 1080 ti got 6th gen nvenc

[hoary hatch]

Turing launch was such a shit show

[frosty prism]

anyhow yea no tensor cores is big sad

[merry stirrup]

nvenc2 aka nvenc new

I5-14600k, 32gb ddr5, rtx 5070ti, would this be considered a decent 4k gaming PC? Or just high end 1440p

[hoary hatch]

That's not how math works

It was like 90% more money

[merry stirrup]

oh this is true

its not 900$

[frosty prism]

intel is surprising but yea

[hoary hatch]

And 1080ti were only selling a little below introductory price

2080 at $700 😭

[fervent scaffold]

I only went intel cause I got a MSI Z790 gaming wifi, with 2 nvmes, for $80

Usd

[frosty prism]

just update the bios

[hoary hatch]

I think I was cross shopping my aorus 1080ti with an EVGA black 2080
The black was such a mediocre cooler to hit the "MSRP" price point

[fervent scaffold]

Oh the PC has been done, i was just asking if its worth buying a 4k monitor essentially cause I only have a 1440p

[frosty prism]

if you want to

[fervent scaffold]

Im still 50/50 if i actually want to lol

Like I want to but 4k monitors $$

[edgy laurel]

this is about the only answer I can think of too

[fervent scaffold]

Well I was asking because i didnt even know if this was a 4k capable PC

[merry stirrup]

wasnt even mediocre it just sucked

[fervent scaffold]

Like, playable 4k

[merry stirrup]

also no backplate iirc

[edgy laurel]

I had that one, but in Super form

it was ass

yes, no backplate

yeat wrap

sounds like an improvement for sure

but the crunchwrap hasnt ever been one of my favorite items

[merry stirrup]

it is indeed fire

its like top 3 for me

[shell void]

what are the other two

quesarito fire af i respect that

[shell void]

they havent replaced it with anything similar man it's sad

it was the only thing from tbell that was actually kinda spicy

[merry stirrup]

😭 yeah

oh and sometimes i put jalapenos in the crunchwrap 🙏

that shit is scrumptious

[shell void]

so you basically were eating the yeatwrap before it was a thing

[merry stirrup]

[green marsh]

this was the next generation of those boards

[floral spear]

Forgot what I did but I try to steer clear to avoid anything

[green marsh]

removed the wifi card, added an mPCIE 2.0 x1 to M.2 NVMe adapter, added LSI HBA, got a mITX NAS setup where i could connect 12 SATA devices and still have boot drive via NVMe (technically USB and then NVMe via refind, but i can spare one USB 2.0 connector for that)

[floral spear]

Do you think they still do the same thing?

[green marsh]

what do you mean ?

[floral spear]

NVM I'm just being a dumbass lol

[floral spear]

What's an LSI HBA if you don't mind me asking?

[floral spear]

Ahhhhh don't know how servers work lol,

[green marsh]

then you use 1 mSAS -> 4x SATA breakout cables for 4 SATA connectors

so you can connect 8 hard drives to a system by sacrificing a PCIe x8 slot

there are cards with more ports, same logic tho

[brave panther]

you can also use sas expander to get more ports with those

[green marsh]

i don't need more for ITX and ATX cases LOL. Define R6 maxes out at 11 hard drives, easy to do with an 8-port HBA + 8 SATA from motherboard. Same with the PC-Q09 which maxes out at 7 hard drives + 3 SATA SSD - 8 from HBA + 4 from motherboard is enough to cover that

[edgy laurel]

Graphics tab > Global tab > Power management mode > prefer maximum performance

[pure garnet]

yeah i’m the last stop on the ac run so my room is miserable without a personal air conditioner

i came home today, nothing running all day, 73f

[edgy laurel]

actually a useful reason to use that feature

[shell void]

heat goes up, upstairs rooms that face the sun get baked in the summer and generally your central air won’t solve it, especially if you’re running electronics in there too

[rare prawn]

My mom laughed she see that as crazy

[topaz veldt]

sun hit roof

roof make hot

[edgy laurel]

are you reading these responses to your parents

[merry stirrup]

how long does this dman thing want me to wait for the session manager

[rare prawn]

Because they own the home wnd believe theu know what correct for therr country 5heu want back

[shell void]

an 8000BTU window unit running maxed out 24/7 is just enough to keep my room at a decent temp when it’s a hot summer day xd

literal hotbox room

[rare prawn]

And now my dad is upset because I don't seem to understand what life is

[shell void]

that’s with nothing running, blackout curtains, and the door closed

[shell void]

does your dad think life is ball sweat or something

[topaz veldt]

is your upstairs like a converted attic or cape style? or conventional 2 story home?

[pure garnet]

soggy drawers build character

[topaz veldt]

Some upstairs are like literally hte roof line, so the asphalt shingles are like 6" away from the "ceiling"

and that gets hot as shit

[shell void]

my ceiling isn’t touching the roof but it’s just a shit house

built by drunk polocks in the 40s and there’s not proper insulation

[merry stirrup]

print server is in fact at 99% cpu usage

getting one frame per sometimes on the rdp

[shell void]

how

[merry stirrup]

well thats the problem gooner

[rare prawn]

He just believe people should be ok with 2013 mac book air that do tjr job 4 gig of ram or a Chromebook till theu get a 120k job works 40 hours like them and of jobs market not good keep looking no matter id it tjr 1k interview to save the world and keep minimum wag low so his living cost stay low

[topaz veldt]

OK - did that

[fringe vigil]

Life is about attending a Chris brown concert and having the best night of your life

Snail trust me

[topaz veldt]

im gonna have to trust you

[edgy laurel]

in my experience it doesn't actually kick in without a reboot but its been a while. if its not dropping to idle clocks then it probably worked

[merry stirrup]

it does not work iwthout a reboot

[fringe vigil]

Take your wife he’s in the us touring

[merry stirrup]

maybe a driver reset will work but thats like the asme thing

[fringe vigil]

Europe is done

[topaz veldt]

annoyingly its also not flickering now

[edgy laurel]

lmao

check gpu clocks

at idle

[fringe vigil]

Mattp go

[rare prawn]

@shell void do you think he funny

[edgy laurel]

i dunno about yours but my last two cards would drop to 210Mhz as the lowest

[topaz veldt]

yeah i dunno wtf its doing

[edgy laurel]

perfer max performance should just prevent that, but i don't know what it'll make the new floor

[topaz veldt]

i hope its not linoleum

[rare prawn]

What happened to chat

[granite dirge]

Snail I got bad news

[topaz veldt]

what up

[granite dirge]

Even if I took the feet off still too big

[topaz veldt]

Yah that stinks

@edgy laurel I rolled over to 9950X3D machine and was like omg im getting flickering here too - no, just chewing ice

i just turned ac down its too cold in here

[edgy laurel]

the vent in my office blows directly on me, i have to wear a sweater in here sometimes

[topaz veldt]

i would love that

though when I was down in our DC in TX, they upgraded the CRACs and such, it was like 100 deg out and its usually then like 65 degF inside or so... it was in the low 60s this time. I was FREEZING there.

Didn't pack a hoodie or sweatshirt because its usually tolerable

[green marsh]

zimaos installed on my old Ivy bridge system, now i only need to set up the backup process 😛

[shell void]

sounds splendid

65F is practically nirvana

[granite dirge]

So annoyed Amazon had wrong dimension and I didn't think to check on the manufacturer website before buying at Ikea .

[topaz veldt]

that sucks - not a ton of options. Even if you had a wood router that ikea top is going to be like cardboard inside... wouldn't go very well

[hoary hatch]

Ivy bridge mentioned

[official internal logo]

I need to know if they still do those
Probably not

[green marsh]

well i put old 2x3TB WD Red and 3x8TB Seagate Archive 8TB into the system, it's job will be power up once in a while (once a day?), sync over the backup folder from main server, thus act as secondary backup for my Windows and Mac systems

[hoary hatch]

Should I pay for nitro just to use :letsfuckinggo:

[green marsh]

and while 30TB sounds like a lot, these are old hard drives

[shell void]

Strix Halo handheld

[merry stirrup]

looks like casaos

[shell void]

mental

[green marsh]

because it is same company

[hoary hatch]

Might actually make ayaneo relevant

[merry stirrup]

fucking 4 nvme slots for what brother

i can only have so many copies of btd6 on my handheld

[pure garnet]

thing is gonna weigh 14 pounds

[green marsh]

https://github.com/IceWhaleTech/ZimaOS

ZimaOS is evolved from CasaOS

[merry stirrup]

yeah you can run raid 0 gen4 ssds and 2 sli gpus

[shell void]

probably

i believe it comes with an external battery pack

it’s cool because it’s extreme but it doesn’t make much sense as a real product IMO

[merry stirrup]

whelp okay i spotted that well i guess

plus 10 points for floppa?

[merry stirrup]

yeah handhelds are not my jam

its a fucked middle ground

gaming laptop or thin and lite or hand held that does neither of those things particularly amazing

[pure garnet]

@shell void you gotta upgrade this guy called your card ewaste

[green marsh]

i was just curious and wanted to try it out, plus that system has no other use anyway, so two birds with one stone i guess ?

[frosty prism]

I just upgraded the CPU in my laptop

[shell void]

he’s right

5090 barely maintains 60fps average with pathtracing and upscaling

1080p60fps on the $3000 gpu 🔥

the problem is there’s nothing to upgrade to

[pure garnet]

whats the lowest you can even power limit a 5090 to

[shell void]

400W just using the slider, but you could go lower by limiting clocks in afterburner or using fps caps

[pure garnet]

need the 5090 fe downclocked to 5070ti performance for the aura of owning it

[green marsh]

now i just need to figure out what to do with the remaining 7 computers :D. I have a plan for one, keeping other as "emergency backup in case my main dies", but the rest 🤷‍♂️

[shell void]

WE yes WE need two uncut ~800mm N2P cores fused together

neutered 750mm n5 is archaic pedestrian technology

[pure garnet]

why does the tpu forums test games at 720p

[shell void]

720p RT is great for cpu testing

[pure garnet]

this is no rt

im trying to find a benchmark for xiv but nobody has a 5090 with the 7800x3d

closest i've found is 7800x3d+4090

[shell void]

i need to figure out which settings in cyberpunk affect cpu demand because i can get like 350 on minimum but only half that at max

[shell void]

same shit if the 4090 isn’t maxed out init

[pure garnet]

i would assume at 720p it would be close to maxxed out

woah i found a 285k owner

[shell void]

gigachad spotted in the wild

i neeeed it

[pure garnet]

can i just safely assume an expo 9800x3d is probably roughly as fast as my memory setup

or is that gonna lead to data wildley being off

[shell void]

idek how close that’ll be

[fringe vigil]

Hey guys I have a 4090 will it be able to run rdr2 at 60fps 4K

[slim pebble]

Needs water cooling and a solid OC just to hit 60 with those settings 😂

[rare prawn]

Should that be the game problem

[fringe vigil]

Mattp help with tv

[slim pebble]

Nope. Hardware needs to catch up.

[merry stirrup]

your memory setup is much faster if youre on intel

[rare prawn]

Dad belive that why this country have problem

[wise bear]

I still wanna debate your dipshit dad

[rare prawn]

He want his country back

[wise bear]

😂

[merry stirrup]

wonder waht this 1366 server has

[wise bear]

His country died in the 60's when the real estate shitstorm started

[rare prawn]

Where game like gta5 are blame for this country problem and crimes and homeless lazy people and then baned

[wise bear]

His country died when we glassed a country twice making idiots in this country think that we're unstoppable

His country died when US politics became a globally-covered sitcom

[rare prawn]

and people are told that chormbook is al you get till a 100k a year job

[ruby rose]

Im checking my asus bios (pc) and i see the q-fan source is set to motherboard. Shouldnt this be set to cpu since i want the cpu temp to determine the speed it goes at?

[rare prawn]

Like this one

[rare prawn]

They believe that why have homeless and people dont get bedroom ac or min split till 100k job snd earn it

[shell void]

bro my dad just bought a 10000BTU window AC for like $200 from Ollies a couple weeks ago

you do not need to suffer and sweat until you have a 6 figure job xddd

[ruby rose]

if youre willing to take 2nd hand or less convenient than full house watercooled ac then its more than possible to grab an AC on a budget

[rare prawn]

He say how much trouble he have whne wr have a center ac aren't they loud

[ruby rose]

can you use punctuation?

[wise bear]

Let's not with matt

Yeah

What? no the dude's autistic
