Yeah I really need to do it

[wise bear]

ollama got an updoot

[edgy laurel]

terrifying

[steel stream]

just Tyler Blevins

ok i got the name right good

[topaz veldt]

here's my BF6 code DJ5U-QBEG-5KJ6-56S7

[steel stream]

thanks?

can I do anything with that

[topaz veldt]

yes you can redeem BF6 Beta

[steel stream]

Ah ok, I thought you just pasted the code after using it lol

[edgy laurel]

https://www.ea.com/en/games/battlefield/battlefield-6/redeem

[topaz veldt]

I did

I was just sharing it with you

[steel stream]

Appreciated

I also can't really play this weekend too lol

[topaz veldt]

the movement is so slow lol

I keep spawning into tank fire, nice

[edgy laurel]

thank god, none of that combat sprinting

mac was complaing about that too, i still don't know how y'all are spawning into enemies like that unless you're picking points that are being taken

[vestal granite]

that's cool there's an alpaca

oh I responded to a message from earlier and I won't provide context

[vestal granite]

they're call of dutyers

they're programmed to get spawn trapped

[granite dirge]

i cant wait to get out of work today, lots of dumb providers, ive been dealing with

[granite dirge]

why is your claim denied, well they havent been insured by us for 3.5 years, .... why is your appeal on file, because your timely filing limit ended in april, and you submitted to the wrong address in june, and the right address in july... these are the days i wish i drank soda still.,

@topaz veldt i've got this playin gin the background and its just comedy https://youtu.be/ecr1ocfSthM?t=32103

[steel stream]

Can I get rid of the ugly dragon on the gaming trio 5070 ti?

or has MSI defaced my product

[pure garnet]

the badass dragon is part of the card

[steel stream]

https://tenor.com/view/wtf-fuck-facepalm-disappointed-gif-14704758

[shell void]

you could try to cover it up with black tape or something but thatll be tedious

the card in general looks better irl than it does in photos

[pure garnet]

just stick a ram fan over it

[steel stream]

imma tape it

[frank zealot]

[shell void]

yeah i went back to studio 577.00 and all has been well again

i guess ill just follow the studio driver releases instead of jumping on every new game ready release

[edgy laurel]

i did a dirty upgrade to 580.88, nothing to report so far

[frank zealot]

did NVidia forget how to make reliable drivers?

cuz people are constantly having problems

but if anyone wants a good game bundle, this one's a deal:
https://www.humblebundle.com/games/wb-play-legends?hmb_source=

[granite dirge]

sadly not my favorite wb game

Gauntlet legends

[edgy laurel]

blast from the past

[granite dirge]

Gauntlet legends is my all time favorite game.

[edgy laurel]

gauntlet legends on n64 was a banger

but its been probably 25 years since i played it

[granite dirge]

and i am faced with the quandry of saving for a house, or buying, a arcade cabinet of it, on a near daily basis,

i would love one of the left cabinest so much

[frank zealot]

I have the GC disc for that

[granite dirge]

thats the updated dark legacy version,

which added like 5 new classes, and alot of powerups, new levels, but also changed the base game,

[frank zealot]

ahhha

[frank cypress]

should've followed the 5nail golden rule

[granite dirge]

when i was a kid i didnt have a memory card and have played the first 5 levels so much i can literally beat them with my eyes closed,

[frank cypress]

no dragons

[granite dirge]

ps1 gauntlet legends is my jimmy jams

[arctic bronze]

Whats that

[edgy laurel]

buddies and i spent many hours in the n64 version when we were like 10

4-player coop was so good

[arctic bronze]

Did you ever play "Glover"?

[edgy laurel]

doesn't ring a bell

[arctic bronze]

I fucking hate that game

[arctic bronze]

Its a fever dream lol

[arctic bronze]

Also, did you ever try the superman 64 game lmao

[edgy laurel]

naa

[arctic bronze]

Worst game ever

[edgy laurel]

I was playing like pilot wings, waverace and Turok

[arctic bronze]

Its flying through hoops simulator

[edgy laurel]

and blast corps

[arctic bronze]

007 golden eye was my jam

Loved that game

[edgy laurel]

to this day i still couldn't tell you what the point of blast corps was

[arctic bronze]

Lmao

[edgy laurel]

oh yeah of course Goldeneye

[arctic bronze]

Perfect game

[shell void]

blasting corpo scum?

[arctic bronze]

With no glitches what so ever

Aka hiding claymores in walls

[edgy laurel]

man, the remaster looks so good https://youtu.be/A0GinqO4lhU?t=1099

[granite dirge]

the xbox one, wasnt bad,

still annoying you cant actually do anything with the cut tower on dam level,

[steel stream]

yeah, yeahhhh

[loud depot]

so its a fan hub that comes with the deepcool cg 5304F

[edgy laurel]

according to the manual, it looks like a pretty typical fan hub. hub connects to motherboard, fans connect to hub

hub also connects to PSU for power

[loud depot]

im new to building sorry but i connect it to the psu cable?

sata idk how its called

[edgy laurel]

one of those cables in that rats nest will be SATA power to power the hub

looks like the hub does both ARGB and PWM

[loud depot]

did that part

[edgy laurel]

yes

[loud depot]

whats nexy

the other cable

[edgy laurel]

orange is PWM (to make fans spin, rad is ARGB, purple, at least one of those, is SATA power to power the whole thing

what the other one is i have no idea, but following it and ooking at the other end should make it pretty clear

[loud depot]

so what i need to do

[edgy laurel]

also keep in mind the ARGB and maybe even the PWM for the fans can daisy chain between each fan, so if you have more than 4 fans, just daisy chain a few together

i don't have it all in front of me but it all looks pretty straight forward

[loud depot]

its preinstalled fans all daisy chained i think

it goes to sys fan?

[edgy laurel]

oh yeah, each fan should be able ot daisy chain for both PWM and ARGB

one of the ports on the hub for both PWM and ARGB needs to connect to the motherboard

i can't read what each port is labeled

[loud depot]

wait i will send pictures

[edgy laurel]

that hub may not actually have motherboard passthrough, its unclear

how many fans are there total?

[loud depot]

4

[edgy laurel]

oh shoot, can probably just skip the hub

[frank zealot]

I saw this, now y'all get to suffer this cursed knowledge, too:

[frank zealot]

the pokey one should be part of a splitter to let you plug in an extra device

[edgy laurel]

yeah I don't see motherboard passthrough at all.

[loud depot]

motherboard not here i just want to know what they do

ong the truck that was transporting my stuff got burnt

[edgy laurel]

If you want to control RPM and lighting from software, i'd just skip the hub entirely. Daisy chain ARGB and PWM then just run one connection from each to the motherboard

[frank zealot]

OH:
The RGB on that hub is controlled by the reset switch on the case.

[loud depot]

Yes

[edgy laurel]

yeah if you wanna actually play with lighting in software, skip the hub

[loud depot]

but i also want to do it from the pc itself

[loud depot]

controll from software right?

[edgy laurel]

according to the manual, the hub is only used for manual control, it won't talk to the system

[frank zealot]

can't, unless you replace the hub

[pale jasper]

does anyone have a link for the Tiny11 discord if there is one

[edgy laurel]

so basically unplug everything from it lol

[loud depot]

shit man how am i gonna do that

[frank zealot]

just the RGB.

Can still use it as a fan hub

[edgy laurel]

I can't get any confirmation, can't read the ports

[frank zealot]

buy an ARGB Splitter and plug it into the mobo

[edgy laurel]

to see if there is PWM passthrough

[fringe vigil]

Mafiamilia sicilia

[edgy laurel]

use your hands

[frank zealot]

that it's gotta have, it's got 2 plugs for other stuff

[loud depot]

ik but like will they still be daisy chained

[frank zealot]

and brain

[frank zealot]

they're plugged into a hub

So it's a hub

[edgy laurel]

if you daisy chain them. Every fan has a male and female ARGB plug. Fan 4 into Fan 3, fan 3 into Fan 2, fan 2 into fan 1, fan 1 into motherboard.

in a chain.. hence the name

the image just shows two, but just expand on the concept

[loud depot]

ok let me try

btw is it better having the motherboard first?

[frank zealot]

nice, all my watercooling stuff shipped yesterday and today. Should get it all next week

[frank zealot]

as opposed to?

[loud depot]

.

[edgy laurel]

dunno what yellow box is. if thats PWM passthrough then good. he's need to show what it looks like on the other end

[loud depot]

ok wait

[edgy laurel]

also whats the red connector

the manual is completely useless

[loud depot]

fr

its like a normal fan on the end

[frank zealot]

that's probably the one that sends RPM back to the mobo

[topaz veldt]

PWM reference

[loud depot]

with 2 ends one with 3 ._.. and other

[edgy laurel]

I mean, its easy in person, just gotta read how things are labeled but we're not in person

[topaz veldt]

red connector is the fan that will report back RPM

[edgy laurel]

but to what, since its still not clear which connector is PWM passthrough to the board. I need to use my eyes to read the labels

[topaz veldt]

so without the red fan cabled the system will see zero effective rpm from any others

Yellow or one next to yellow is to the mobo

[edgy laurel]

but i can't, the pictures are blurry/obstructing the labeling

[topaz veldt]

then you at least need RED cabled to a fan

[frank zealot]

lolwut

What do the connectors ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THIS IMAGE GO TO

[loud depot]

sending

[edgy laurel]

switch on case, SATA power then yellow box is a mystery

[edgy laurel]

oh ffs

[loud depot]

?? is that bad

[edgy laurel]

that sure looks like both PWM and ARGB passthrough

[loud depot]

is that good

[frank zealot]

are you trying to be intentionally obtuse and cause people aneurisms?

[loud depot]

sorry bro im curious

[edgy laurel]

be nice, he's not doing anything wrong

i'm just internally raging at how simple this would be in person and how this abysmal manual is making this difficult remotely

[frank zealot]

those aren't the fan, those are off the hub, correct?

[loud depot]

where the yellow rectangle ends

[loud depot]

yes

[frank zealot]

okay, so you plug those into your motherboard

[loud depot]

and im good to go?

[frank zealot]

and you can control RGB with RGB Software

[edgy laurel]

ensure its powered

[loud depot]

also with the led button on the case?

[frank zealot]

unplug the LED SW thing

[edgy laurel]

SATA power from PSU

[loud depot]

did that 💯

[frank zealot]

where is that hub getting SATA power from?

[loud depot]

do i connect the end on somewhere? a video said its floppy

[loud depot]

psu

[edgy laurel]

i dunno what that means

[loud depot]

i mean

[edgy laurel]

middle one is power

[frank zealot]

where does SATA plug into it

[loud depot]

the end its to connect a floppy disk

[loud depot]

i did what is shown in the picture

[frank zealot]

does your hub have this middle connector going to the PSU?

[loud depot]

yes

[frank zealot]

that is NOT the picture you sent us before

[loud depot]

the big one and the small coming from the psu u mean right?

[loud depot]

no no i mean the picture guilty sent

[frank zealot]

right

[edgy laurel]

SATA power?

[frank zealot]

right.
But both of these CANNOT be the same left connectors

[loud depot]

yes this one

[loud depot]

many pictures also wasnt refering to that

[edgy laurel]

no, thats the top one

[frank zealot]

so both of those connectors come off the top plug?

[edgy laurel]

4-pin PWM to the fan header of your choosing. NOTE: the header that you use will control all 4 fans, so take note of which one you use.

3-pin ARGB to whatever ARGB header is easiest to reach.

[loud depot]

yellow is the sata thing we said earlier
Red is the picture with the 2 ends

[edgy laurel]

yeah its probably a combo plug

ARGB and PWM in one connector

save space

[loud depot]

didnt understand, the 4 pin PWM i put it on sys_fan?

[edgy laurel]

sure, just remember which sys_fan, as that will be the one you tune your curve in once in the BIOS

assuming you even have more than one

[loud depot]

i think so

also what is curve i saw that on a video

[edgy laurel]

how your fan(s) react RPM wise to temperature

[loud depot]

ok

[edgy laurel]

the rate at which they speed up and slow down in reaction to a factor, in most cases CPU temp

[loud depot]

should i get oem windows or retail?

[frank zealot]

[granite dirge]

well tax free weekend starts tomorow for my state, is there a gpu that i should look into if i have a 7900xt? and a 9600x on a 850w psu,

[merry stirrup]

5070ti id say

[edgy laurel]

you have a 4K display so basically anything faster

[vestal granite]

most expensive gpu you can find would be the most efficient use of tax free weekend i would say

[merry stirrup]

lol this quadro can max out the memory offset

not binned at all

[edgy laurel]

5070Ti unfortunately isn't that much faster

kinda boned price to upgrade % wise

[shell void]

yah you’re mostly benefiting from dlss with that swap

if you could pay for most of the cost by selling or trading in the 7900xt it would be good

[merry stirrup]

trade in on newegg is absurd

in the good way

[granite dirge]

are their 2 fan 5070ti's and power savings?

[merry stirrup]

500$ offered for the 7800XT

[shell void]

no brainer

[merry stirrup]

uh it certainly would draw less power than rhe 7900XT

[shell void]

why u no trade in and upgrade?

[edgy laurel]

I dunno offhand if there are 2-fan 5070Ti's, someone here will

[merry stirrup]

js gonna sell mine to my roomie

[edgy laurel]

is that just for length concerns?

[merry stirrup]

he wants a gpu upgrade and that’s chillin

[shell void]

supposedly my nearest best buy has matte qd oled monitors in stock

[edgy laurel]

what case do you have again @granite dirge ?

[shell void]

i may go in order to see for myself just how bad it is

[brisk jolt]

theres like 0 2 fan 5070tis unless u get some china modded card

[edgy laurel]

yeah I was just looking at PCPP briefly and didn't see any

[brisk jolt]

its a shame bcs the 4070tis had dual fan models

[granite dirge]

welp it dosent check off all the boxes i want, so... im gonna pass unless i see a decent, trade in value at micro center,

[shell void]

there are some triple fan 5070ti that are not long

iirc the pny is only 300mm

[granite dirge]

given the cheapest, 5070ti is... 809$...

https://www.microcenter.com/product/693841/zotac-nvidia-geforce-rtx-5070-ti-solid-sff-overclocked-triple-fan-16gb-gddr7-pcie-50-graphics-card

also has less vram than my current card

[edgy laurel]

pcpp says the Inspire 3X is the shortest at 300mm

but their websites says 288

[granite dirge]

my case, https://pcpartpicker.com/product/fhfnTW/silverstone-gd11-atx-desktop-case-sst-gd11b

[edgy laurel]

yeah, 288mm, shortest there is

[pure grail]

what a weird choice considering 4070 ti super uses abt the same power but has 2 fan models

[granite dirge]

it will fit, i just am nostalgic for 2 fan designs of the past,

[pure grail]

and absolute power hogs like 7900xtx come in 2fan too

[granite dirge]

but, 7900xt 20gb, for a 5070ti 16gb...

[pure garnet]

20gb to do what with though

[granite dirge]

not sure, like i get what ever trade in credit for my gpu off, and 5% off, and tax free weekend... not sure if its worth making the trip and process,

[pure garnet]

you can’t really run rt at nearly the same settings

[edgy laurel]

5070Ti certainly makes less heat under load

than your 7900xt

[granite dirge]

i dont run rt now?

[edgy laurel]

yeah but you could

[pure garnet]

then what do you need 20gb for then

[granite dirge]

i dont even know how to turn on rt..

[steel stream]

I love RT

the in game button

[granite dirge]

second life.

users have alot of self made things and scripts that destroy vram

[brisk jolt]

i dont remember a single xtx dual fan model

[pure garnet]

the market doesn’t really want bad coolers anymore

[fringe vigil]

Mafia is so good rn

[granite dirge]

which would you go to? https://gyazo.com/a193cd5f63d128cd831f3c626bb6818b

[pure garnet]

i’d do the newegg trade in on an msrp model

[brisk jolt]

i’d rather trust the zotac SFF than the msi cards lmfao

[pure grail]

its longer than 3 fan models tho lmao

kinda misses the point but if an oc gpu that uses 100w more power, or the last gen 4070tiS at the same power can be cooled by 2 fans then jenses were tf is the sff 5070ti

[pure garnet]

the dual xtx doesn’t use 100w more power

it’s 350w vs 320?

[granite dirge]

i cant do that and take advatnage of tax freeweekend and i dont have an xtx,

[pure garnet]

yeah but you’re paying at minimum $50 more to save on tax

newegg trade in values are good even if you don’t have an xtx

[granite dirge]

how am i paying 50$ more?

and tax is 7%.

[edgy laurel]

had no idea this was a thing. apparently it is.

[pure garnet]

because none of the ones in that screenshot are $749

[granite dirge]

ok.... but im saving 7% tax get a 5% discount at the store by having their credit card... and would have trade in credit,

so again, how am i paying more,

[pure garnet]

microcenter doesn’t publish trade in values, neat

[frank zealot]

newegg charges state tax when buying

[granite dirge]

they do when you have serial numbers which when i get out of work ill be able to check my trade in value

[pure garnet]

so yeah they don’t publish it then

newegg has a chart

749 model with 520 trade in on newegg as a comparison

[granite dirge]

it would still be published on their site,just not publicly facing,

749 model?

[pure garnet]

an msrp model card there’s a few

2 years ago someone got offered $700 from microcenter for a 4090 so

i don’t think they’ll beat newegg rate but maybe they will

[pure garnet]

yeah that’s kinda my point, cheaper card and presumably better trade in value would offset the savings of tax free weekend

but microcenter doesn’t publish their values so it’s not something i can reference

[shell void]

is lip bu tan going to be a good boy now and stop purposefully trying to kill the foundry? https://newsroom.intel.com/corporate/my-commitment-to-you-and-our-company

[granite dirge]

but i need to ship my gpu cross country, and if i use new egg, then im with no functioning pc, for that period of time,

[pure garnet]

no you ship it after

[brisk jolt]

nah hes gonna lock in and sabotage it further down

[frank zealot]

wanna borrow my 1080? 😉

[merry stirrup]

UES

can i put the strix xoc bios on it

[pure garnet]

unreal engine six

[granite dirge]

you ship the graphics card in after, to get tradein credit, to use on a purchase youve already made?

[merry stirrup]

i need to beat my old scores

[merry stirrup]

unreal engine:sex

wrong person

[pure garnet]

order card -> install card -> ship trade in -> refunded difference

[merry stirrup]

sounds right

[granite dirge]

credit cards, dont give you time like that to wait kyoko.

[merry stirrup]

as long as it’s not like site credit that’s chillin

[pure garnet]

i think considering it's been a program for at least a year i think they got it figured out

[pure garnet]

You will receive credit for your trade-in item via a refund to your original payment method or in the form of a Newegg gift card.
think you can pick

i've never heard of someone getting a gift card

[merry stirrup]

ah okie fire

[frank zealot]

I wonder if any GPUs go over the estimate?

If I traded in mine, it should be worth more, as it was a nice AIB model

[pure garnet]

they ask for the model at time of entry so possible

i doubt very much though

[frank zealot]

My 7900 XT is so rare, they barely exist on the internet

[pure garnet]

actually yeah my oc is worth $30 over the estimate

[granite dirge]

so,... kyoko, not sure where your saying its 50$ cheaper on newegg.

the exact same card is the same price at newegg.

[brisk jolt]

my 9070xt should be considered rare bcs theres no “local” stock here

[steel stream]

my 4070 should be considered rare because I owned it

[merry stirrup]

true

[steel stream]

the only akn876 owned 4070

[merry stirrup]

sign my forehead akn

[frank zealot]

jesus, remember when the 9070 was supposedly a 600$ GPU?

#FuckYouAMD

[granite dirge]

ditto, since i have a 7900xt hellhound spectral white

[steel stream]

🫡

[merry stirrup]

yeah and at the same time to make that price they were giving retailers rebates on the cards lol

a genuine planned fake msrp not gon hold you

[frank zealot]

yeah, I'd rather have them released it at 700 and called it a day

[pure garnet]

i never saw one for 600

[merry stirrup]

i saw one for 650 one time

[frank zealot]

I saw them, and have since launch, just very very rarely

[vestal granite]

nice try, nadvanced vimarketing devicesa spy

[brisk jolt]

I love giving hopes and dreams to put them in the blender afterwards

[granite dirge]

so kyoko, the card isnt 749 like you said.

[steel stream]

what card

5070 Ti?

[pure garnet]

there are models that are 749 that i thought were in stock

like the pny

[granite dirge]

Zotac NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SOLID SFF

[frosty prism]

saw plenty o people get em for 600 on launch day

[pure garnet]

i never said the exact zotac was 749 😭

[merry stirrup]

gonna be real you can’t hold a mf for not knowing the exact price of the video card

[steel stream]

Suzi I am assuming you are also purchasing from Newegg to get the trade in value?

[granite dirge]

they literally kept going on how i was overpaying by 50$ by going to microcenter not newegg

[pure garnet]

zotac for over msrp is a choice but i think it's out of my wheelhouse at this point

[merry stirrup]

the pny one is 779

[granite dirge]

i dont know anymore, im trying to figure out

[merry stirrup]

there’s a gigabyte one for 750

[frank zealot]

this one time you fuckin' can

[steel stream]

wat

[pure garnet]

yeah i never went the zotac whatever is 750

i said i'd look at getting a msrp model off newegg with better trade in value

[merry stirrup]

it was in stock like 2 minutes ago

i got slow ass internet

[pure garnet]

my fault for suggesting something i thought was cheaper

[steel stream]

I got my gaming trio coming anyways

but Windforce does look better

[granite dirge]

sold by newegg, as instock cheapest is 799.99

[frank zealot]

okay microcenter, this is an interesting rule:

[granite dirge]

MSI SHADOW GeForce RTX 5070 Ti

[steel stream]

don't get the shadow

[granite dirge]

why not the shadow?

[merry stirrup]

it sucks

[pure garnet]

yeah all the low end msi cards kinda bad

[steel stream]

performs like dookie

[merry stirrup]

its worse than the ventus, so loud and hot

[pure garnet]

and the ventus is already loud

[granite dirge]

800$ is low end?

[merry stirrup]

10$ more for a solid from zotac

[steel stream]

the PNY is literally 750 at bestbuy rn

[pure garnet]

does mc have the pny

[granite dirge]

bestbuy dosent give tradein credit

[pure garnet]

or just the overpriced aib ones

[merry stirrup]

you literally can’t get upset at us for this part because we don’t make the cards

but yes it is

[steel stream]

it is a low end model compared to the other cards MSI offers

[merry stirrup]

shadow is terrible

https://www.microcenter.com/product/690475/pny-nvidia-geforce-rtx-5070-ti-overclocked-triple-fan-16gb-gddr7-pcie-50-graphics-card

[merry stirrup]

solid sff is 10$ more than the other newegg one 😭

[granite dirge]

no they dont,

[frosty prism]

dis is so fucked up, i just got the notification about getting 2 puters, there is so much rain

this newegg thing is so weird its not giving me any option to trade in my gpu.

[pure garnet]

its the gray button

[granite dirge]

there was no gray button

[pure garnet]

how does walmart have the pny but newegg doesn't that's wild

theres no trade in banner?

[granite dirge]

my screen is white not black too

[pure garnet]

i have dark mode turned on

[frosty prism]

this is always a great sign

[granite dirge]

is ther any resource for checking power usage between the two cards?

[frosty prism]

TPU?

[granite dirge]

tpu?

[frosty prism]

techpowerup

[pure garnet]

they're both 300w tdp cards

[frosty prism]

and if you already have the card ofc hwinfo

[pure garnet]

in my experience at 1440p though the 5070ti pulls less than that

[frosty prism]

o yea most 5070 ti cards are hard locked at about 300w

[pure garnet]

well all of them are

that's the stock board power limit

[granite dirge]

im so lost on this website.

you look at reviews

[brisk jolt]

its time to chrome up for that 50w (aorus master vbios)

[pure grail]

theres no information on the actual gpu page cuz no shit, theres like 10 models

[frosty prism]

the 7900 XTX is like a 300w card if you use those kinda stuff but you can see some of the cards pull up to 450w

[granite dirge]

i typed in power and its trying to give me info on a psp

[granite dirge]

i dont even know if a tdp is what i want to know,

[pure grail]

its not
look at reviews

do we have to send this message 40x

[granite dirge]

im trying to find out how much less/more power it uses

[brisk jolt]

i have a XTX

by using my 5090 at 200w that is

[pure grail]

its in reviews, cuz they review what the gpu does

no thats msrp

[granite dirge]

you.. sent it twice, not 40 times, relax i am still tyring to just understand where to find reviews on this site,

[pure garnet]

https://www.techpowerup.com/review/msi-geforce-rtx-5070-ti-gaming-trio-oc/42.html

this is the power consumption page of the review for one of the 5070tis

in the graphs you can also see a 7900xt typically consuming more

[brisk jolt]

RDNA 3 is full of power hoggers

[steel stream]

and crazy spikes

[whole lake]

@edgy laurel @spare tinsel

Looks like i still have plenty of space even after all THESE installs

[granite dirge]

im so lost tyring to find anything on this website

[pure grail]

are you on ur phone

[edgy laurel]

alright i dunno whats been going on what but is the question in one sentence

lets just get this over with because i'm sure its simple

[brisk jolt]

u need the help of dora the explora clearly

[granite dirge]

im on my website

on my pc

im trying to find the difference in power consumption,

[edgy laurel]

between what

[pure grail]

bruh

[steel stream]

have you guys seen the mini horse that plays the piano

[granite dirge]

between a 5070ti zotac solid sff and 7900xt hellhouse spectral white

[pure garnet]

you're probably not going to find those exact models

[edgy laurel]

Amp Extreme, close enough . https://www.techpowerup.com/review/zotac-geforce-rtx-5070-ti-amp-extreme/42.html

[granite dirge]

can you piss off, you all said to use a site ive never used, and why would reviews be in a differnt section of the website to the actual product pages im on,

[pure garnet]

the page i linked will be like 98% accurate

unless the hellhouse has some xoc bios loaded

[granite dirge]

Logic would put the review on the product page

[granite dirge]

its a dual bios card with a silent and oc switch

[pure garnet]

yeah but those just handle fans not like

+200w board limit

[steel stream]

5070 ti left, 7900XT right

these are all the 7900xt reviews they have

[frosty prism]

XTX too even

[edgy laurel]

I'm pretty sure the TPU pages were linked like 20 minutes ago for models close enough

[frosty prism]

wait are you guys just saying what i already said

[pure garnet]

its kinda a loop ye

[granite dirge]

you all said i dont need tpu?

[pure garnet]

TDP

[merry stirrup]

techpowerup is life yo

[frosty prism]

paper spec is shit

[steel stream]

https://youtube.com/shorts/DUNYDf94_7U

[granite dirge]

I am getting more and more confused, i dont even know what tpu or tdp, any of these god damned acronyums

[edgy laurel]

its the simplest way to quickly see what the TDP (for all intents and purposes the base power) of a card is. Its very simple to lookup.

[frosty prism]

TechPowerUp

[pure garnet]

tpu is a website with a very good dataset of information, tdp is power draw

[edgy laurel]

\TPU is a website, Tech Power Up, a master database of GPU's and their specs. TDP is Thermal Design Power, effectively teh cards base power to compare against others.

people are trying to make it more complicated by tellin you not to look at the TDP value but thats just not helpful right now

[granite dirge]

I dont even know anymore, and im getting so stressed out from all this. guess im not trying to upgrade because i cant comprehed or find the info i need,

ill just give up

[edgy laurel]

...

[granite dirge]

thanks for trying

[edgy laurel]

This is so simple, the numbers are right there for each

two numbers

[pure garnet]

the power draw of the 2 cards are extremely similar to break it down

[edgy laurel]

there is the comparison

[granite dirge]

no its not, i dont ducking know what i am looking at , because ive never used this,

[edgy laurel]

multiple screenshots so far

[granite dirge]

its saying ray tracing, gaming, vidro playback, nothing referenced a resolution, so i dont know how these things apply to me

hell i have never even dont ray tracing as much as i know since i have an amd card

[pure garnet]

it was all written on website

[granite dirge]

I cant handle this this is too much stuff,

[frosty prism]

use your eyes and you will see

[edgy laurel]

See this is not helpful and massively confusing if you read the room

@steel stream nailed it

[brisk jolt]

https://tenor.com/view/cyberpunk-stick-some-iron-up-your-mouth-and-pull-the-trigger-johnny-silverhand-gif-26931703

[steel stream]

I hate this freaking place man

[granite dirge]

Akns post says they use the same power?

[pure garnet]

they asked what they meant, i posted what they meant

[granite dirge]

so why do i change then?

spark you said it uses less power

[edgy laurel]

too many cooks, 95% of them can't read the room

[pure garnet]

i would maybe read a review before impulse buying a 800 gpu but

[pure grail]

it does, by like 10-30w depending on what ur doing'

[edgy laurel]

the TDP of both cards is the same, yes. In practice, thats going to vary. If you want simple, this is what you're going to get. If you want more in depth, thats what others have been trying to explain and failing

[frank zealot]

well, if you give me a moment to break out some master's level physics explanations....

[steel stream]

https://tenor.com/view/destiny-insufferable-gif-15067915

not you Suzi the other people

[granite dirge]

Im done... i just give up, i feel more like a itiot than i started and have no idea about anything anymore

[brisk jolt]

when are you getting the 5070ti

[steel stream]

sometime next week like thursday

[brisk jolt]

I want to congratulate you on getting a better gpu and into the 50 series gang

then make fun of ur msi card

[pure garnet]

4 heatpipe model

[frosty prism]

if the gpu works fine without any issues why replace it?

[brisk jolt]

sybau

[pure garnet]

i mean my 970 works

im not staying on it though

[frosty prism]

play any DX12U game i dare you

[steel stream]

4070 is not enough for my 4K gaming anymore

[pure garnet]

that would require getting it out and getting 8 pin cables wired on my psu again

[brisk jolt]

my 1440p gaming isnt enough for my 5090 anymore

so is my desk

[frosty prism]

anyhow issue also includes bad game performance

[fervent scaffold]

1440p reading*

[frosty prism]

so much rain

[pure garnet]

need 6090

[fervent scaffold]

6090 super ti xt

6099

6699

[brisk jolt]

If Im on a 1440p display and I use DSR to 4k
Then use DLSS to upscale 1440p to 4k

Am I just playing native

[pure garnet]

can you combo dldsr and dlss

surely 2 layers of ai scaling won't mess each other up

[brisk jolt]

technically it is upscaling ur native resolution to 4k then downscaling it back

[pure garnet]

oh apparently you're supposed to combo them

dldsr to 4k then set dlss to upscale from base res internal target

[pure grail]

isnt dldsr fake

or at least it doesnt create detail that can only actually exist when the thing renders at higher resolutions

[pure garnet]

idk i don't use either usually

[loud depot]

does b650 need a bios update to run the r5 7500f?

no right?

[pure garnet]

maybe

it wasn't part of og launch

[merry stirrup]

probably cause it came out a little later

[loud depot]

does the brand matter?

[frosty prism]

same gen my guy

[pure grail]

the store matters

[merry stirrup]

chances it uses the same microcode but idk amd is brain dead sometimes

[merry stirrup]

model does

[frosty prism]

i am 90% sure it will work with a 3 year old board or smn

[merry stirrup]

it should, cause the 7500f is already pretty old but

[loud depot]

ok, the update i have to do it ON the motherboard or when im on the bios?

[pure garnet]

unless you're on the launch bios new b650 boards are likely to come with updates for 9000 series already installed

[frosty prism]

anyhow im gonna open a PSU now

[pure grail]

not sure if it matters but it did on am4
stuff like 5600 non x requires new bios update vs 5600x
its still technically 'new' cpus

[frosty prism]

is it brand new?

[loud depot]

yea

[merry stirrup]

yeah exactly

[frosty prism]

i think in 2 years they updated the bios

[loud depot]

Υποστηρίζει τους επεξεργαστές AMD Ryzen™ 7000/ Ryzen™ 8000.
on the bio

supports the processors

[pure garnet]

it's probably new enough to boot

[pure grail]

thats just the advertisement, that means if updated it can
the question is if the store ur buying from did

[frosty prism]

again 2 years

[loud depot]

ok btw AX motherboards are not for esports?

[frosty prism]

Release Date: Jul 22nd, 2023

[frosty prism]

what?????

AX most times only mean it has wifi

[loud depot]

i saw a vid that said there has something to do with the bluetooth and the wifi connection

[frosty prism]

report

[pure garnet]

ax is like the 2nd newest wifi standard

[frank zealot]

That's a wifi standard, not motherboard.

[loud depot]

okok

[pure grail]

theyre proably just talking abt how wired internet is better for connection

[frank zealot]

and if you give a shit about online latency, do NOT use wifi

[loud depot]

yea that thing

[pure garnet]

there are people that say amd usb ports on the soc tile are better for fortnite so just ignore anything like that

[frosty prism]

eh its HARD for me to tell the difference

[frank zealot]

same here, but try hards gonna try hard

[loud depot]

also if i buy -> will i have problem installing them? (size) with an arctic freezer 36

[pure garnet]

aren't most am5 boards mediatek wifi

[frosty prism]

stop it

[pure garnet]

i'd run a cable just to not use that

[frosty prism]

mediatek is fine

[frank zealot]

he will not

[steel stream]

r/pcmasterrace JUST LET IT DIE

[loud depot]

why i found them good deal

buildcores has a notice

[frosty prism]

you are asking questions like i guess a 5 year old

[pure garnet]

ram and cpu clearances are more dependent on your case choice

it would probably fit though

[frosty prism]

its HARD to find ram that cant fit most coolers

[pure garnet]

the non ti too

[whole lake]

Is that the 1070?

If yes, then no.

[frosty prism]

you blind?

[hoary hatch]

1080ti proceeds to suffocate from 8 years of cat hair

[frosty prism]

it says 1080 RIGHT there

[whole lake]

Yeah no it ain't dying so easily. Beats my GTX 1650

[merry stirrup]

and lacks modern features and consumes 2x the power

and doesn’t support dx12 fully

doesn’t have nvenc new

[pure garnet]

you mean a low end card that’s one year newer than it?

[merry stirrup]

doesn’t have dlss and fsr is nowhere close so don’t even hit me with that

[pure grail]

i thought its gtx 900 that doesnt support dx12 full

[steel stream]

turding is already kil, pascal is TOAST

[merry stirrup]

and the 16 series is equally as bad

[merry stirrup]

pascal doesn’t have async compute

[frank zealot]

I just ordered myself a 5 pack of P12 Pro's. mwahahahahahaha

[whole lake]

GTX 1650 still holds up good enough tho

[merry stirrup]

no it doesnt

[frank zealot]

compared to what?

[merry stirrup]

my gfs 1660 super is being replaced

[steel stream]

1650 would have a seizure trying to run any of the games I play

[merry stirrup]

same

[pure garnet]

supposedly i’ll get my p14 pro 5 pack on Wednesday

[merry stirrup]

besides maybe apex if i played at 1080p

[pure garnet]

hopefully tomahawk tomorrow unless usps sells again

already 2 days late

[merry stirrup]

it’s okay as long as you’re not as bricked as the guy selling me my bdie

[fringe vigil]

Trouble with the missus?

[pure grail]

1650 laptop gets 30fps on cyberpunk 1080p max no rt
surprisingly better than i expected

[whole lake]

GTX 1650 still gives a decent fps on many AAA titles

As long as ur using optimized settings

[merry stirrup]

(low)

[pure garnet]

i ordered a set of b die awhile back and the ebay seller just cancelled my order

[merry stirrup]

yeah

[frank zealot]

uhhhhh, at 720p low maybe

[frosty prism]

Fan replaced

[merry stirrup]

i had to verbally abuse this guy

[whole lake]

I get 50 fps on my laptop while playing cyberpunk

[whole lake]

Nah

[steel stream]

A card without DLSS will never touch my computer

[pure grail]

ig cyberpunk is too well optimized for aaa now lmao

the new shit is ue5 slop that runs 40fps on a 5070

[merry stirrup]

there’s no way, my rx 570 desktop hardly got 60 frames

[pure garnet]

i have no ddr4 systems worth tuning memory with though

[merry stirrup]

(did we forget its like 3 years old)

let’s see it run indy

[edgy laurel]

5

nearly

[pure garnet]

hasn’t it also gotten like rewritten

[merry stirrup]

even better

[pure garnet]

or was 2.0 just the engine swap

[merry stirrup]

think so

[edgy laurel]

i'm not aware of an engine swap?

[merry stirrup]

oh i think they just did some big tweaks

[pure garnet]

oh the studio moved engines but the game is still redengine

[frank zealot]

Phantom Liberty (and patches around there) made HUGE engine changes to base cyberpunk

[edgy laurel]

Witcher 4 and Cyberpunk 2, whatever that is, will be UE5

[merry stirrup]

wack

[frank zealot]

those patches turned Cyberpunk into a a multi-thread game that uses 8 cores

[pure garnet]

valorant is ue5 now too

[pure grail]

valorant perf got better with ue5

[edgy laurel]

sure but it was always REDengine

[merry stirrup]

more of this but scale it up more so we have an excuse to go past the 8c consumer limit

[pure grail]

cuz they used thought energy when porting it

[fringe vigil]

Glorilla

[merry stirrup]

make my 13900KS useless within 2 years please

[edgy laurel]

UE5 has suffered greatly from early and poor uses of it. I fully trust that CDPR is going to make it work in Witcher 4

[frank zealot]

same engine, just major modifications to it, yes.

Replacing the engine of a game that's already out would be... oof

[merry stirrup]

16+P please

[whole lake]

👀

[pure garnet]

at what settings though

you hid the part we asked about

[merry stirrup]

wonder what settings? to be fair i tested my 570 like on release so i had no fsr option

[arctic bronze]

I see you

[arctic bronze]

I see you

[pure grail]

lmao

[merry stirrup]

this is anticipated

[edgy laurel]

its happened. Bohemia did it with DayZ

[merry stirrup]

i mean it’s playable

[shell void]

minimum settings 720p

[frank zealot]

1080p low with FSR Enabled?

So, yes, 720p

[steel stream]

FSR

[edgy laurel]

we're not out here taking pictures of the screen in 2025 are we?

[pure garnet]

steam deck fans would consider that beyond playable

[merry stirrup]

i still can’t wrap my head around it

[pure garnet]

they’ll play games at 30fps with fg turned on and be like it’s great

[fringe vigil]

buzz cut gang

[whole lake]

Not saying that 1650 is a goat... But it still gives playable fps on many AAA titles

[merry stirrup]

yeah guys not playing your 40fps first person shooter on a controller

[shell void]

cyberpunk has xess2.1 now, you’d be better off using that on your 1650 instead of fsr3

[edgy laurel]

tiny-ass screen can't tell how blurry it is

[steel stream]

XeSS is great

[merry stirrup]

fsr ultra performance as well

[pure garnet]

yeah everytime i hear about how good the steam deck oled is i already remember how bad the games run

[merry stirrup]

(i know people who force the deck to play tarkov and play on those settings)

[steel stream]

Very nice, now lets see Paul Allens laptop

[pure garnet]

the most i used my deck for was genshin

[shell void]

i love everything about the steam deck oled except for the fact that it’s using a zen 2 rdna2 apu

[pure garnet]

tossed it on windows and it did like 800p60 medium or something

[shell void]

once they update it with zen6 and rdna5 or whatever it’ll be cool

[whole lake]

Idk

[merry stirrup]

yo sometimes i like drake

i’m gonna go overpay for a cherry coke at the vending machine this is so hype

[wraith steeple]

This is just elder abuse at this point

[pure garnet]

genshin is cutting off ps4 support soon which is interesting since it is a phone game

[steel stream]

was my reference wasted

[pure grail]

if it helps keep the competitive cost id rather they stay with the cheeps zen2 cpu but give it new graphics
its gonna be gpu bottlenecked 99% of the time anyway

[frank zealot]

so, you're not actually running 1080.
It's 720p, like we said. That's what FSR Does.

Which, still makes for a fully playable game obviously. But we were talking native, not upscaled.

[whole lake]

At some point or another imma have to get rid of my laptop to play newer games and build my own setup... GTX 1650 days are over

[pure grail]

send me the laptop /s

Let's enjoy it while it lasts

[pure grail]

i played cyberpunk 3 times on my vega 6 igpu laptop

[frank zealot]

bro left a quarter mile of skid marks on that road

[pure grail]

720p fsr ultra so like what 360

[pure garnet]

you “played” that?

[shell void]

it’s monolithic so that wouldn’t really be a viable option

[merry stirrup]

it’s computer time shawty

shits life changing. my buddy just built one with a 1660siper from a shitty gtx 645

[pure garnet]

when does the 9970x arrive michael

[pure grail]

or buy a new laptop

git 4050 for cheap

[shell void]

i’m going to use that money to orbital strike asus hq instead

[pure garnet]

going from hd520 to a vega 56 was insane

[shell void]

you know the orbital hammer weapon from invincible season 1 episode 7

[pure garnet]

asus better that monitor

[wraith steeple]

My first rig had a fucking S3 card

[whole lake]

Not so soon bud. I am too broke for my setup ambitions atm

[frank zealot]

S3 Verge?

[steel stream]

why think so primitively, rods from god

[shell void]

i’m going to use that on 48720 kato rd, fremont, california

[wraith steeple]

[frank zealot]

Back in the day, I worked at Electronics Boutique when those were "relevant" (along with Voodoo 1 / 2 etc.)

Those were fun times

.....
holy fuck, I had forgotten that this game existed:

[pure garnet]

did it ever get the dlc

[shell void]

rods from god seems more primitive

[steel stream]

it is but it's more fun

[pure garnet]

they should bundle the 32uwxqc or whatever it is with the 5090 astral white in the us exclusively

[frank zealot]

There's only 2 complicated parts for rods from god:

1. getting that shit into orbit

2. accurate aiming

Past that it's decidedly primitive. "Throw heavy stick at someone from space"

[pure garnet]

need good gpu to drive good monitor

[merry stirrup]

no such thing

you can get a desktop with something better than a 1650m for like 400$ im sure

even less if you’re a penny pincher like floppa

[frank zealot]

you'll get better pricing from FBM than ebay if you stalk it enough

[merry stirrup]

100 more monitor

What Lian Li case is this?

[wraith steeple]

Noooiiiiicee! It later got a Voodoo 2 sometime in its life much later. It was in a Socket 7 or Super Socket 7 build (don't remember which) on a AMD K6-2 300. Used it for a bit before it bit the dust

[edgy laurel]

Lancool II

[merry stirrup]

no just showing the collection

[edgy laurel]

https://lian-li.com/product/lancool-ii/

[frank zealot]

I had a SLI Voodoo2 in a K6-2 300 (at 366 or 400, I forget)

[merry stirrup]

K6-2’s were overclockable af

[frosty prism]

i got a 1440p 27"

[merry stirrup]

iirc you could do. a lot with em

[edgy laurel]

we're on lancool III now https://lian-li.com/product/lancool-iii/

[merry stirrup]

i have 27 1440 (4:3) monitors, we are not the same

[frank zealot]

4:3? lolwut

[merry stirrup]

1440x960 or whatever

[frank zealot]

jebus

[merry stirrup]

did you not just see the two photos of about 20 monitors

there’s only a couple that are that old in here

[whole lake]

Yeah but it's better to wait a few years until gta 6 comes out. I would have lot of money by then to make the best dream setup... Might make most out of my laptop till then ...

[frank zealot]

amusingly I'd probably take a few of those off your hands if you were local

for a project

[merry stirrup]

please bro

goppa has more tech than is comprehensible

[frosty prism]

i want

i already took one from my dads work

[frank zealot]

unless you happen to be in the boston area secretly 😛

[frosty prism]

and MY GOD 1440p 27" for a side monitor is life

[edgy laurel]

we've got a shelf full of shitty 1600x900 and 1080p 60hz junkers that no one wants. Just e-waste, I'd pay to not have to take one

[merry stirrup]

no im in oregon but if i go to boston ill hike a million of them to you

[pure garnet]

just take enough monitors to make the trip worth it

[merry stirrup]

i have two yeah

[pure garnet]

i use 2 27 1440

[merry stirrup]

same

[pure garnet]

biggest i’d want i think

[merry stirrup]

one 360hz one 144

both 1440p

[pure garnet]

240/144

[edgy laurel]

1440p 27" for side monitor in vertical is peak

[merry stirrup]

nobody wants these guilty is right

[pure garnet]

what do you do with the vertical

[edgy laurel]

discord and task manager

[pure garnet]

i usually have spotify and discord snapped to my side monitor then a browser overtop of that if i’m watching something

[merry stirrup]

hwinfo 🙏🙏

[frosty prism]

1440p is still usable even 1080p but anything under is pure e-waste

[edgy laurel]

I don't watch anything on it, i dunno how people do that.

[frank zealot]

I need to find a 32" 4:3 monitor.
I think that'll fit what I need

[frosty prism]

pray for me its not gonna rain, im gonna go and get me a pc

[edgy laurel]

na, gone are those days. At one point I had a whole 30" 2560x1600 monitor dedicated to HWiNFO graphs.

i realized it was stupid

[pure garnet]

i use 1680x1050 at work

[merry stirrup]

nah i need to look at mem temps

[merry stirrup]

i have some 16:10 (slightly above 1080p) 75hz 24 inches at work

[pure garnet]

do you not stability test with furmark open

[merry stirrup]

what i just look at my mem temps all the time leave me alone

[pure garnet]

actually you’re on intel so

it actually uses the ram smile

[merry stirrup]

skull emoji

[edgy laurel]

left side lmao

[hoary hatch]

Yeah I have 1200p 24" work monitors

[edgy laurel]

don't ask me why i was doing addition

[hoary hatch]

But a pedestrian 60hz

[merry stirrup]

lol damn you have a real graph

[hoary hatch]

However one of mine is in Japanese and idk how to change it

[merry stirrup]

my hwinfo just has the things i look at to be colored

[pure garnet]

camera translate the osd

[merry stirrup]

isnitnHP

if yes we can do it the dumb way and go look at my osd

[edgy laurel]

old-ass pic

[hoary hatch]

I haven't used HP monitors in 20 years

[merry stirrup]

horrible products i agree

[hoary hatch]

We're all Dell

[merry stirrup]

however work has an HP contract

[hoary hatch]

hinge problems I agree

[merry stirrup]

although there’s a single dell computer here that runs the CNC

[pure garnet]

we use dell but i think thats just because he got them cheap

[pure garnet]

how big is yours

[hoary hatch]

We're switching laptops from Dell to HP

[merry stirrup]

probably some of the biggest you can get because we make custom ceiling tiles

[steel stream]

missing something, 42" of something...

[vestal granite]

that is a massive bezel on your vertically oriented monitor

[merry stirrup]

like huge huge ones

[edgy laurel]

thats from ~5 years ago

[pure garnet]

we have a 48x96 inch but it doesn’t do the multi axis stuff

[vestal granite]

the before times

[merry stirrup]

i don’t think we’d have a need for multi axis

[edgy laurel]

before I moved to 1440p 27", that was a 2009-era 1080p TN

[merry stirrup]

i haven’t looked to closely at the CNC. more just the 12 year old dell inspiron with a pentium powering it

[merry stirrup]

in genuine horror btw

[pure garnet]

i saw mach 3 in an ltt video awhile ago and did the pointing face thing

[merry stirrup]

shit still had windows 7. on the internet.

[pure garnet]

cnc machines usually use an ethernet adapter now but it used to be an actual serial port when i got here

[edgy laurel]

that 34" ultrawide is still on my desk, but in the spot the 30" Dell is, thats since been scrapped

and i'm no longer in that house

[merry stirrup]

guilty you have a 6600xt right

[edgy laurel]

non-xt

[merry stirrup]

you talking about your other setup made me remember

[vestal granite]

he has 5800x and rx 6600

[merry stirrup]

oh sad okie

[edgy laurel]

its in that same 011 in that pic, 3090FE is long gone

[merry stirrup]

😔

[vestal granite]

good thing you had a 3090 to power your 2009 1080p TN display

im judging past you

[edgy laurel]

that was a side monitor

[frank zealot]

this is hilarious
Someone went all in on these fuckers

[merry stirrup]

my lord.

[vestal granite]

i have the same listing but for arctic p12s

[merry stirrup]

4$ a fan what are they smoking

[shell void]

[edgy laurel]

there she is, the old dell spaceheater

[steel stream]

please please please

[vestal granite]

looks like something that has a mercury warning label on the back

[merry stirrup]

your high resolution fanciness is making my terrible mobile data kill itself

[edgy laurel]

was mercury in CCFL backlights

[merry stirrup]

oh lord that thing is fucking huge

[steel stream]

shit spotted

[wraith steeple]

Member those PCCooler Corona FRGB fans?

[merry stirrup]

perhaps

[vestal granite]

idk but every display that has those bezels that i see at thrift stores has a mercury warning label on the back

[edgy laurel]

kill it

[frank zealot]

okay this is a solid price:

[merry stirrup]

i’ve been sitting in the comfy chairs in the conference room for like 40 minutes and nobody has had a problem

i will sit here the whole day until someone has a problem and needs help don’t tempt me

this room is air conditioned way better too

[edgy laurel]

that same AIO is still chugging along at that same RPM today lmao

[merry stirrup]

loll yeah

i have a CLC 280 just chillin

6 years old or something and doesn’t sound any different

6 years of active service

never been out of commission for more than 3 months

[edgy laurel]

this EK is at about 5 i guess, though these days the PC does sleep a lot

[merry stirrup]

fair

aios last a while if you don’t abuse them

i made sure that my coolant never hit close to 60c and it was chillin

[edgy laurel]

wish I had a coolant temp sensor

[frank zealot]

no lowballs, I know what I've got:

[merry stirrup]

loser. evga though of us even on the lowest end of low end aios

[edgy laurel]

really? wow

[merry stirrup]

(they actually performed okay and were cheap)

(to be fair they’re old asf)

[frank zealot]

I have a 280mm evga aio with my 10850K

[merry stirrup]

yeah but only in their software which is a huge L

[edgy laurel]

figures

[merry stirrup]

same with lighting maybe

i swear i remember it working in open rgb though

[edgy laurel]

look, jorj spotting in 2022

[next sun]

rx 7800xt or 5070?

[merry stirrup]

5070

[next sun]

oke

[merry stirrup]

hasn’t changed even slightly

[edgy laurel]

also you gotta be REAL old school to remember Happy Pill

[frank zealot]

here we go...

I'm not sure who the target audience is, but.... k?

[shell void]

the design of the body is nice

satisfying chunky bezels and pedestal stand

[edgy laurel]

bro it was like 45lbs

[frank zealot]

the old dell pedestal stands could be used to kill someone

[edgy laurel]

it had a really nicely designed raise and lower mechanism

[frank zealot]

and enough vertical room to turn it vertically on a 16:10 monitor

[edgy laurel]

but the MSRP on that monitor new was $1999

i paid less than half of that

[merry stirrup]

REALL

i have so many of these stands

they came back up so fast with no monitor on them
