no such thing as am4 and fun

[shell void]

5950X3D would’ve been fun

[pure garnet]

nah it would've been mega locked down

this usb is so bad

[shell void]

i think it would’ve been too good and kept a lot of people from upgrading to am5

[pure garnet]

gonna pull my other nvme to dodge the windows efi roulette

then it's reinstall time

[merry stirrup]

how do we all have several thousand dollar computer setups/just spare parts but none of us have a competent usb stick

[pure garnet]

i do i just lost them

[merry stirrup]

dont anymore do you

[pure garnet]

so i’ve been torturing myself to save 11 dollars

[merry stirrup]

@turbid locust withdrawl symptoms have set in

[turbid locust]

lol for sure

[turbid locust]

Yikes

BF6 is 🔥 tho

[frank zealot]

12VHPWR: Best connector ever

[hexed karma]

hopefully it'll hold up upon release but battlefield might actually be back this time

[edgy laurel]

its back

[frank zealot]

12V2X6: This absolutely fixed any of the issues with the original release

[hexed karma]

the bf2042 was good but unstable during the beta, then upon release they messed with how classes and abilities worked which was just a not as fun experience

[edgy laurel]

that card suffered a fate much worse than a simple 12VHPWR issue

doesn't look to be connector related at all

[frank zealot]

i'ma laugh if he had put the 1000w (or higher) bios on an air cooled card

[edgy laurel]

just a freak accident

[edgy laurel]

NZXT motherboard user, do they know how to do that?

[frank zealot]

more likely to do it, because it's the wrong thing to do

[edgy laurel]

truuue

[shell void]

jay did that :p

it didnt work well

[frank zealot]

Jay also knows enough to (generally) keep his cards from exploding.

(but maybe not the PSUs)

RIP HX1500

[merry stirrup]

rust as in the language?

[frank zealot]

or game, both are pretty terrible

[edgy laurel]

I do not remember all of these. Gad damn

they need to bring back the test range from BF4

so nice to learn how to fly there. also the heli's are so easy to fly, feels ilke riding a bike

[turbid locust]

I have to admit I don’t know how to drive/fly anything on KBM lol

[edgy laurel]

i just hopped in a litte bird and apache in BF4 and it felt like home

if they add a test range back to BF6, i'm learning how to fly there

[hexed karma]

is there still an apache or pilot/gunner heli in bf6?

[edgy laurel]

yeah

[hexed karma]

im about to feast omg

[frank zealot]

FBM is fuckin WYLDIN

[edgy laurel]

its like I never left

[frank zealot]

bruh, what are you smoking:

[merry stirrup]

for 100$ that is good

doesnt even matter what hes smoking ill take it bro go get a 20 rock

[pure garnet]

he wants 1k

[merry stirrup]

oh i

delusions so strong i saw it as a good price instead of the crack price

[pure garnet]

fr

[frank zealot]

I'm thinking that's 2nd gen? Or possibly old xeon?

hmmmm: 4 sticks on each side, gotta be xeon

[merry stirrup]

its x99

(probably)

it could be x79 but i dont think so

ASUS X99-A II

[pure garnet]

6400 1:1 for today

[frank zealot]

this is a reallly rich IO "subwoofer:"

[restive pivot]

Seems to be it, no RAM there though?

[merry stirrup]

ddr4 is cheap if you dont need ECC

(even if you do, just as long as youre within your means and dont want to max it out)

[fervent scaffold]

Well my friend just ordered a fractal design terra and sent it to my house to build a pc for him, lord knows I have not built with anything less than micro atx before so this will be fun

[restive pivot]

I believe the X99 boards support RDIMMs with Xeon CPUs, so it would actually be dirt cheap to use ECC

[merry stirrup]

well i mean if you want 8x32GB dimms its like, 300$

well maybe closer to 240

[restive pivot]

Not with RDIMMs, used

[merry stirrup]

i know used

im accounting for that lol

[restive pivot]

I did some quite bad math there on the price per DIMM you mentioned
... It adds up

[merry stirrup]

idk what that even was anywayus one sec

its like 30$ a dimm, its not great but if you need 8 of them thats pretty wild

esp considering the cpus are less than 20$ each typically

[topaz veldt]

@edgy laurel

[frank zealot]

this "beast" is.... not

[merry stirrup]

absolute beast yeah right 6+6 core (sobbing)

[pure garnet]

7900x+2060 super

what a combo

[mellow mango]

"absolute beast" 😭

[merry stirrup]

i bet it gamed

in 1080p

on a 60hz monitor

[frank zealot]

they claim it runs any modern game at 144 fps

[merry stirrup]

yeah with dsr sure

[frosty prism]

The sirface is sitting at 3w with wifi and Bluetooth on

I wanna see how far I can get it to go while not being unusable

Also bat was a bit better after a nice charge only 36% gone

[mellow mango]

wear goggles

[frank cypress]

2060 super in this build is wild

[fringe vigil]

hes a good boy enzo

[frosty prism]

YouTubeing I am seeing 5.5w and dropping

So yes as I was expecting 4-5hrs of battery life

[frosty prism]

I am using edge

[wide rose]

any good laptops for 1500, videogames idc abt batterylife or screen.

[merry stirrup]

you should care about screen unless its just going to be plugged in its entire life

[vestal granite]

what is the normal buffalo sauce at wingstop called

[merry stirrup]

and if so you should consider a desktop (a small one if you need portability) instead

[vestal granite]

i want normal buffalo sauce i have never eaten wingstop before

[frosty prism]

I want to throw the laptop I have out the window and my god surface screen is life

[merry stirrup]

just say buffalo theyll figure it out

[vestal granite]

no im on doordash ubereast apps

[merry stirrup]

FUCK.

[wide rose]

Its going to be plugged in its entire life and I need backpack portability for constant travel. I already have desktop but I need to replace it

[merry stirrup]

consider small desktop?

[frosty prism]

Portable screen

[wide rose]

how small can they get

[frosty prism]

That was my plan

[merry stirrup]

pretty damn small

enough to at least be backpack sized alone

[frosty prism]

You can get one with a 5090 that can go into any good backpack

[wide rose]

I live btween two houses ill habe a screen at each

[merry stirrup]

whats your current computer

[wide rose]

could you send a link?

[merry stirrup]

does it need to be prebuilt?

[vestal granite]

ok original hot is what they call their buffalo

[wide rose]

2070s ryzen 7 32gb DDR5

[frosty prism]

M yes the Ryzen 7 xxxx

[merry stirrup]

ddr5? just rebuild your current one to be small

its like, new

[frosty prism]

Wait ddr5

Wtf why that GPU

[merry stirrup]

yeah no reason to spend extra money here

[frosty prism]

The only laptop cpu that can beat your desktop cpu would be that x3d one

[merry stirrup]

stuff like that

bigger than a laptop but you can definitely move around with it

esp if the goal isnt to use it on the go id go this route

[wide rose]

wait im dumb ryzen 5 7600

[merry stirrup]

close enough still good and new

[frosty prism]

Hard to find a laptop even close to that budget that even has a chance at beating it

[edgy laurel]

easily amused

[pure grail]

what specs

[frosty prism]

R5 7600

[pure grail]

what gpu
and what price overall

[wide rose]

honestly idk if i wanna build it, are there any prebuilt ones?

I can build one if it saves alot

[frosty prism]

That is what I am saying he should upgrade

[merry stirrup]

https://www.newegg.com/lian-li-mini-itx-aluminum-steel-cases-black-a4-h2o-x4/p/2AM-000Z-00096

@wide rose

[merry stirrup]

small and prebuilt is usually uncommon

it'd be WAY cheaper to just move your current computer into being small

https://www.newegg.com/lian-li-mini-itx-aluminum-steel-cases-black-a4-h2o-x4/p/2AM-000Z-00096

how do you like this case?

[wide rose]

Looks good, would it survive travel in a suitcase?

[merry stirrup]

definitely

[pure grail]

laptops only compete with pcs until like $800
more than that u get to gpus that use 200 watts that laptop ones cant keep up with

[edgy laurel]

Mmmmm, new jersey 😆

[wide rose]

and obviously I cant have it taking up the whole suitcase, preferablt the smaller the better

[merry stirrup]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/fC9tfd

this is all youd need to move your current one

a third of what you originally intended to spend

[wide rose]

thats a good point acctualy

[pure grail]

huh

[merry stirrup]

so much so you could upgrade your gpu as well

[pure grail]

if ur desperate ig

[merry stirrup]

and storage etc

oops meant to reply to the upgrade gpu comment

[frosty prism]

His current GPU is sad

[topaz veldt]

Wish my boat were up here

[merry stirrup]

2070S i mean its not the worst

up to 320MM cards idk if you can do triple slot or not

ah yeah you can

damn thats a good case tbh

[wide rose]

Id totaly be down to upgrade, technicaly I need a better laptop for running autoCAD etc for uni, but I do have a mac I can use for low demanind work like notes etc

but my uni also offers a replacement for like 400 if I need to do that portably

[merry stirrup]

you could afford a 5070Ti + a good SSD upgrade with the budget you have left

a 5070ti is more than a 2x upgrade im sure lol

or 5070Ti+ a decent like 1440p 180hz monitor

[wide rose]

Im gonna quickly go measure out some stuff just to see in person how big it is

but thanks so much for the idea

i was honestly dreading downgrading to a laptop

[merry stirrup]

you could use whatever laptop you have (the mac) to connect and remote into your desktop PC so you dont have to deal with it being slow

[sand tendon]

I’ve been PC flipping for since September, and I am happy to say I’ve been extremely blessed. I have some times where PC’s didnt work, or customer problems, but through it all I am thankful to say that the Lord has always given me a solution. Just this year, I’ve made about $15K Canadian dollars, I started out with around $1000. I noticed that my Dad’s PC was getting pretty old and slow for his photo editing, so I decided to show my thankfulness and spread the blessings around a little bit by giving him a brand new PC. It’s nothing much, it has a Ryzen 5 3600, RTX 3050 8GB, 16GB DDR4 3200MHZ, 1TB 970 EVO PLUS, and a MSI A550BN, but he was really happy, and it should be great for what he does. And much better than his old i5 7500/ GTX 1060 3GB PC 😅. Big thanks to the LTT videos for helping me so many times lol

[merry stirrup]

fire computer

[merry stirrup]

also gives you the plus of not having a terribly loud laptop if you have to do something 3d in class

[wide rose]

Also worried about weight, if im flying with it would it just make my bag overweight

[merry stirrup]

idk whats the weight limit

[frank cypress]

zen3 cpu 😔

[merry stirrup]

flyin between 2 homes shawty? damn

[pure grail]

its $650

[frank cypress]

thats fair

[wide rose]

25kg checkin

[merry stirrup]

55 pounds

i think youll be okay

[wide rose]

https://www.newegg.com/lian-li-mini-itx-aluminum-steel-cases-black-a4-h2o-x4/p/2AM-000Z-00096 Is this the smallest I can get for my parts

[merry stirrup]

its hard to find specific item weight for computer parts though sadly

i think thats the smallest one yeah

[pure grail]

the noise it makes doing 35w cpu 80w gpu load

[merry stirrup]

thatll fit everything*

lol it is the smallest

[wide rose]

and yk the newegg part list you sent me, thats all Ill need, no extra wiring or anything?

[merry stirrup]

as long as you know how to build a computer and you have what you said you have, you should be okay

[wide rose]

yea I buit the pc I have rn

[merry stirrup]

CPU, ram, storage, video card all come from the old build

new build comes in so you get board, cooler, psu, case

just doing a swaparoo

and you can resell the old stuff if you want for some of your dollas back

suck my fucking ballssssssss

[fringe vigil]

Loool

Go away

[merry stirrup]

damn thanks discord, it showed the whole message for long enough for me to reply and then it disappeared

[fringe vigil]

just chiling with my girl

[fervent scaffold]

Trying to stay reasonably priced with a mini itx form factor and new hardware is tough as hell

[merry stirrup]

used itx board and psu probably the best ways to do it and acutally save any money over just buying the cheapest possibly stuff

[pure garnet]

itx tax is a thing yeah

[fervent scaffold]

I knew it was but I didnt know it was this bad lmao

[fervent scaffold]

I wouldn’t buy a used psu, this build is for a friend

[merry stirrup]

id buy a used psu

actually every psu in all 4 of my gaming pcs at home is used

[fervent scaffold]

He wants super fast but no real gaming

So im trying to go am5

[merry stirrup]

8600G and done

[pure garnet]

for just a 7600x+ram+board it was like 500 with tax

[merry stirrup]

a peculiar choice from bro tho

new pc presumably with a decent budget that does absolutely NO gaming

[fervent scaffold]

Yep im at $680usd before tax for all the hardware, not including case or gpu

[merry stirrup]

lookin on ebay, going used for a board saves you 50-125$ over buying a new one

[fervent scaffold]

I say no REAL gaming, he likes rocket league but mainly uses his xbox

[edgy laurel]

I like this Scrapyard Wars concept

[fervent scaffold]

This is what I have picked out, still unsure about any of it, I picked an 850w psu because he plans on adding a gpu in the short future

[pallid marsh]

https://a.co/d/hS5cb5P it's easy af to "make" a mini PC

[pure garnet]

crucial calling samsung/micron ram "overclocking" is crazy

[edgy laurel]

hmm, sell my AM4 system and get one of these you say?

[fervent scaffold]

He initially said $500 budget for just the hardware, I cant see myself hitting that with am5

He already ordered the fractal design terra

[edgy laurel]

I have a 5800x/RX6600 system in an O11 Mini for.. checking the link... $449 for sale

[primal summit]

yo can someone help me with my pc build bc today i fixed a cpu so the bents are straight and when i plugged everything in the gpu wont even spin but it still gets power but the fans does not spin at all and no signal. I already reseated the cpu looked at every cable even took out the cmos battery and waited for a few minutes but still nothing fixes it

[frank cypress]

waiting for the nvidia keynote

[pallid marsh]

free up space and still be able to play cyberpunk at 1080p

[merry stirrup]

a620i man

[edgy laurel]

you want today? fixed a CPU? What led it to being broken?

[merry stirrup]

either buy a used board or spend the 50$ on a decent quality board

[merry stirrup]

your bro does not deserve 5 usb ports

[topaz veldt]

Can someone tell me what to buy I'm not sharing my location

[primal summit]

a friend of mine took out the cpu of his motherboard then it fell down then he sent
it over to me i bought a new motherboard, ram and m.2 ssd so that i can use it. I fixed the cpu so the pins are all there and nothing is broken

[frank cypress]

5 usb ports with no good way of expanding 😔

[fervent scaffold]

What lmao

[frank cypress]

at least with an atx or microatx board you can slot in a pcie card for more usb ports

[topaz veldt]

You can just use a hub

[frank cypress]

stinky

[pallid marsh]

https://a.co/d/3WAP1Mf bring your own ram and SSD its $310

[merry stirrup]

yeah no usbc

[frank cypress]

I mean i guess

[merry stirrup]

oh my bad one usbc

[topaz veldt]

No one buying an a620 is above a USB hub

[frank cypress]

this is true

[merry stirrup]

this is true but pain

[frank cypress]

they have a police sniffer dog in the place lol

[merry stirrup]

present the dog your drugs

[frank cypress]

probably searching for explosives

[primal summit]

can anybody pls help me bc i need the pc for school and other stuff

[frank cypress]

drugs probably not a concern at an event like this

[merry stirrup]

oh thats real my bad

[fervent scaffold]

What about an AsRock B650I Lightning

[frank cypress]

I mean also it's vancouver

he'd probably alert on everyone

[pallid marsh]

Used is an option right?

[merry stirrup]

looks moderately better

[fervent scaffold]

I mean yeah but I wasnt seeing almost any mini itx AM5 mobos for sale

[frank cypress]

asrock tho

[hollow hull]

doesn't the ASRock b650i have a noisy fan

[pallid marsh]

Matx take it or leave it

[frank cypress]

matx is honestly best option for most people

itx is cool but too niche so it is expensive

[fervent scaffold]

He already ordered the case lmao

[frank cypress]

bruh

[fervent scaffold]

Thats the unfortunate part

[frank cypress]

return that shi?

[fervent scaffold]

He just picked it out, ordered it, sent it to my house, messaged me after

[hollow hull]

matx with 3 pcie card slots 🔥

[fervent scaffold]

So now I have a fractal design terra waiting for parts

Im in pain

[hollow hull]

hi in pain

[gloomy vault]

get well soon ✌️

[fervent scaffold]

Hes getting a 5060 8gb, not that hes ordering it or anything, its that im forcing him to lmao

[hollow hull]

wouldn't a rx 6800 be better

[fervent scaffold]

I take that back hes getting a 5050

[fervent scaffold]

There was sarcasm in my message

I wouldn’t actually do that

[gloomy vault]

IdkAboutThat

[wide rose]

question, if I get this https://www.newegg.com/lian-li-mini-itx-aluminum-steel-cases-black-a4-h2o-x4/p/2AM-000Z-00096. does it limit what GPU's I can add

[merry stirrup]

i already explained that

3 slots, up to 320mm long

thats a LOT of cards, basically anything but the highest end of each generation

[wide rose]

do you know if newegg ships internationaly to the EU

im guessing yes

[merry stirrup]

not off memory but i can try and find the case in an EU site

i think they make you p[ay for shipping, do a check rq

[wide rose]

looks like the case is availible to my countries amazon

[pallid marsh]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/GCQfzP used 5500xt are $65 on eBay

[merry stirrup]

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B09T73JG49?tag=pcp0f-21&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1

[merry stirrup]

(i am making the broad assumption that anything on co.uk is availiable to the rest of the EU)

[wide rose]

do these cases need like any cooling systems or will just the CPU fan be enough

[merry stirrup]

im sure theres spots for extra case fans but id buy them after because you may need slim fans or a smaller than normal size

(and between you and me, no modern gaming rig needs exhaust fans)

(300w is not that hard to worry about)

[edgy laurel]

there are like... so many examples of completed builds in all these cases available on PCPP

[merry stirrup]

im a fafo person

[wide rose]

im not into this enough to even know what either PCPP or Fafo is

[merry stirrup]

fafo means fuck around and find out

[edgy laurel]

yeah but this user seems in the dark as to what they can do or what exists, and they don't have to be

[merry stirrup]

i dont think he wants to put the fans i htink they are just a concern lowkey

[wide rose]

so excuse my questions that could be awnsered by another website that i dont know about

[edgy laurel]

i'm just talking in general. if they have a case in mind, they can peruse pages full of other users completed builds IN that case

[merry stirrup]

two 120s

i think that is it

[edgy laurel]

which should answer any question they have about what they should/should not do or whats possible

[wide rose]

looks so clean

im pretty much set on doing this now btw, just wanted to clear up some concerns

[edgy laurel]

Though of course, building proper SFF ITX systems is for your second or third build

[merry stirrup]

its his second

(at least*)

[edgy laurel]

once you kinda know how things work

[merry stirrup]

so we're good enough probably

just the same thing but way more constricted and painful

[wide rose]

I fully build this PC i have r

rn and have swapped parts before

But i did do it with aid from my dad

so cant take full credit

[edgy laurel]

For example. 10 pages of fully complete A4 H2O builds https://pcpartpicker.com/builds/by_part/jT7G3C

[merry stirrup]

you can probably take whatever extra case fans you have from your current case to the other one when you move it all over

[edgy laurel]

If you can't visualize what is/isn't possible from that, this may be beyond the scope of your skills at this time

the psu bracket in my d31 only has one screw mounting it to the case

(the psu has all 4 mounting it to the bracket)

just i had to have one screw out because the gpu has to shift it diagonally ever so slightly so it fits in

[hollow hull]

wouldn't this be a little better https://pcpartpicker.com/list/KMtK9C

[merry stirrup]

idk if in good concious i can recommend someone buy navi

[pure garnet]

both of those lists don't help when they already own the terra

oh my bad i think tahtas just rdna

Other than the E tier PSU yeah

[hollow hull]

it says C- on mines 🤔

[pure garnet]

neither of those scores inspire confidence

[hollow hull]

well it's a 5600 xt

[merry stirrup]

old doesnt mean low power

neither does slow

150w, not a low amount but not high

[hollow hull]

say we get something a little better, msi a650bn, you could grab a ddr4 h610/b660/b760 microatx motherboard for around $70 on ebay

[pallid marsh]

Wait my dyslexic ass read it as GM not GN

[hollow hull]

it says it's worse on spl excel sheet, not that I know anything about their testing methodology or anything in that matter

[wheat shore]

any new gpu news?

[mystic tartan]

Anyone here have experience with OLED monitors or issues with them please?

[edgy laurel]

many people here

[brisk jolt]

yes

[hollow hull]

the issue is that I can't use IPS/VA anymore

[mystic tartan]

I posted a really weird issue in #tech-chat-1 that I can’t figure out

[brisk jolt]

intel is back to +3.51 were so cooked

[edgy laurel]

has nothin to do with it being OLED, FWIW

You just have norma monitor issues to troubleshoot

[mystic tartan]

I see but from the troubleshooting I’ve done, I’ve narrowed it down to two issues:

1. the monitor is dying
2. the power supply for the monitor is dying

[merry stirrup]

always replace the cable and try a different port

[brisk jolt]

this motherf-

[edgy laurel]

I assume you've done all the basics, like different cable, different ports on GPU, different refresh rates and followed the problem?'

[mystic tartan]

So it’s not display port or hdmi or anything. I ran it unplugged

[mystic tartan]

So power supply only, and the default menu of ‘no monitor detected’ and the bootup sequence of the monitor has weird lines etc

[merry stirrup]

i would assume power supply like you thought. or the board otherwise

[edgy laurel]

Factory reset in the menu. If that doesn't fix it, file an RMA / return to retailer.

[mystic tartan]

Here look at this

[merry stirrup]

whatever it is, its not the panel, but chances are you wont be able to replace anything

[bronze mango]

I just did a 200000000iq play to save power on my phone

[merry stirrup]

basically, use warranty or nothing

[mystic tartan]

Those red lines and white lines

[bronze mango]

I turned an old multisim file I had to simulate a diode protection into a super efficient almost entirely black wallpaper

[mystic tartan]

Its like it’s not getting enough power

[merry stirrup]

it is

[edgy laurel]

We can't fix that. And if you're asking here, you can't either

[merry stirrup]

power is drawn, not forced

its drawing however much power it wants

if it were to suddenly shut off id agree with you but that doesnt happen

[mystic tartan]

No I understand, just trying to explore options since I haven’t experienced it enough

[edgy laurel]

If whatever it is is happening without any input, the monitor is broken. Return it.

[mystic tartan]

It does suddenly shut off

That’s what I mean, it occasionally flickers like that, fails to sync etc. but sometimes it outright shuts off after

[merry stirrup]

sounds like its just dropping display

the video you showed makes me pretty positive its at least getting enough power

is the power clean? who knows

[hoary hatch]

How long are you staring at your home screen for a black wallpaper to have a noticeable effect on power?

[merry stirrup]

either way there is lowkey no reason to dwell on this or diagnose yourself because you likely wont be able to do anything

[bronze mango]

Screen is oled

[mystic tartan]

So lemme explain again: the monitor was running there but sometimes it entirely shuts off. Windows fails to detect it and I have to click the power button as it was actually in an off state

[bronze mango]

So the black part actually saves a good bit of power

[edgy laurel]

What are you asking for us to do?

The mystery has been solved, its broken.

[indigo tree]

define measurable

[hoary hatch]

Again, how long are you looking at the home screen for this to actually matter

[mystic tartan]

Just trying to see if anyone has seen this issue or if it’s known

[indigo tree]

1 frame

[edgy laurel]

Yeah, failing panels are known.

[hoary hatch]

I fucked up with that word
Noticeable*

[bronze mango]

Enough that it'll likely make a difference

[brisk jolt]

AMOLED is more efficient than whatever other phone panel screen?

[mystic tartan]

I’ve never seen a monitor flicker like this where it generates lines across and has a really messed up ‘jumping sync’

[edgy laurel]

I don't think you're understanding what you're being told.

[bronze mango]

Any value greater than 0 in other words

[hoary hatch]

So you sit there staring at the phone wallpaper for an hour a day?

[edgy laurel]

Finding someone who's experienced a broken panel doing exactly the same thing isn't going to be able to help any further.

You have to return it either way

[bronze mango]

Is an hour the only value greater than 0?

[mystic tartan]

Gotcha, ok thank you

[bronze mango]

I also often let videos play on YouTube in that picture in picture mode with my home screen open to save power

So kinda yes

[indigo tree]

Assuming it takes 5% battery life across a day to run the backlight, less than 25% of the energy being used to light the few non-black areas

[brisk jolt]

ngl if LPT is serious about intel making a comeback he better have 20 cool stats

[hoary hatch]

You run YouTube in pip to "save power"?

[bronze mango]

Yes? Why would I waste more power on my phone if I am not actively looking at something

[hoary hatch]

I'd expect a typical use case to see effectively no change on battery

[indigo tree]

Ever used a screen dimming app? There are apps that will dither black patterns on the screen to use less light.

[hoary hatch]

Turn the screen off

[indigo tree]

What if turning the screen on uses more power than just leaving it on?

[bronze mango]

Sounds like you're hard coping to have an issue with me making a wallpaper I found to be cool and efficient

Live your own life do your own things and I'll do mine

You can rage alone

[hoary hatch]

What if

[merry stirrup]

what if

[indigo tree]

My wallpaper. I made it myself

[hoary hatch]

Modern displays can be pretty damn efficient

Dat CPU tho

[pure garnet]

what is going on in here

[indigo tree]

We should just disable the CPU and save battery

Want the most power hungry wallpaper?

[spare tinsel]

how big is the difference between 2/3 fan gpu

[merry stirrup]

one fan

mf look on part picker it tells you we arent google wtf

my bad that was mean

[south shuttle]

better than AI for sure

[frank cypress]

not much

[south shuttle]

few decibels or few degrees

[frank cypress]

maybe slightly louder or a few degrees hotter

nothing that really matters

[south shuttle]

i just sad dat

[indigo tree]

Made it with GIMP, a Hex Editor, and Notepad++

[frank cypress]

at the end of the day, you get what chip you bought

[frank cypress]

frick ya too bud

[south shuttle]

i hope yor house gets divided by two

[spare tinsel]

dunno
all i know is that my 2 fan gpu right now is quite annoyingly loud
or maybe im just sensitive

[frank cypress]

how old is it?

[south shuttle]

how many degrees?

[frank cypress]

I hope your parents have a respectful loving marriage

[south shuttle]

which model

[frank cypress]

^

[edgy laurel]

BRO

[brisk jolt]

another fan kinda wont solve the issue

tune the fan curves n undervolt

[indigo tree]

I hope your house gets divided by 3.14

[south shuttle]

i hope elon mushshsks builds a rocket launch site next to your apartment

[south shuttle]

i hope your house gets divided by 0.5, creates a black hole from atoms randomly appearing in each other and gobble up your city

[south shuttle]

if you have thermal headroom, you can tune your fan profile

[spare tinsel]

its already tuned to max so i think its just hardware shenanigans

[oak vector]

I just spent 85usd on a 1650 super 😭

I hate Australia.

[south shuttle]

at how many degrees does the hotspot get?

[spare tinsel]

arent those like super old now

its not about the temp
its about the sound
and cant relaly push it any further

[south shuttle]

probs bit overpriced even for aud

[indigo tree]

I hope you find out your house has a secret third floor.

[south shuttle]

well it is about the temp if your fans get cranked up

[oak vector]

I need a specific sized gpu with a low tdp unfortunately
and this was the cheapest option 💔

100w tdp is pretty good. Especially over the dual sata power to 8pin

[south shuttle]

have very big good luck

[pure garnet]

sata to 8 pin

[south shuttle]

have insanely good luck

[oak vector]

The gpu only takes a 6pin
Soooooo

I should be fine. I think

It only needs to supply like
25w over two sata power connectors

[south shuttle]

ye just make sure you plug it in correctly

[oak vector]

B-but my house fire 😭

[south shuttle]

your house is already a charcoal by now

[oak vector]

😔

It’s in a dell optiplex 💔

I’ve spent too much money on this rig fr.
250usd for;
I3 8100
8gb dual channel ram
256gb nvme
Gtx 1650 super

[south shuttle]

i3 8100? oof

and $250???

[shell void]

i went to bestbuy today

[oak vector]

Yep 💔

[south shuttle]

rich

[shell void]

ugh i missed 240Hz so much

[oak vector]

It’s for my sister
So. I’m happy to bite the bullet.

It was the best I could find in a short amount of time 😭

[edgy laurel]

27"!! i'm so sorry for your loss

[pure garnet]

are we warming it up in valorant

[oak vector]

LOL

[brisk jolt]

if so he shouldve gotten 480/500hz smh

[oak vector]

Yeah at 1440p, I wouldn’t go less than 32inches honestly.
I love my 32 inch monitor

My poor 4060ti 8gb tho 💔

Maybe I should try with my gtx 960 4gb 🫶

[desert crater]

OLED? 👀

[pure garnet]

1440p at 27inch is already kinda not great pixel density

[edgy laurel]

the model number is right there..

[hoary hatch]

Fax

Gimme dat 1080p 32"

[brisk jolt]

try 1080p 32’

[hoary hatch]

Irl Minecraft display

[pure garnet]

i used to play league on that 🙁

[pure garnet]

32 feet??!

[desert crater]

no clue what that is I'd have to go look up the manufacturer site

[oak vector]

Idk im at 32 inches and it looks pretty fine from a not right in front of my face distance

[hoary hatch]

i used to play league ~~ on that ~~
That's all I needed to judge you harshly

[oak vector]

Looks better than my 1080p 24inch or whatever it is.

[brisk jolt]

the quqlity of my laptop display at 235ppi gaps my 27” 1440p

[pure garnet]

league was the only game my toaster pc could run at native res

i used to play csgo at like 1024x768 35fps

[edgy laurel]

comon dude, this is a tech discord!

[oak vector]

That’s just small tv territory 😭

I think I actually have a 1080p 32inch tv somewhere.

[pure garnet]

yeah thats i used to play on years ago

[desert crater]

oh yeah I meant at a glance I don't know the model

that's sick though

[pure garnet]

i’d like a 4k27 but my 5070ti too slow

[oak vector]

Yeah that used to be my main display too.
Not awful
But holy shit. I would never go back

[edgy laurel]

we have multiple people here with 5070Ti's who play at 4K

[pure garnet]

yes and we all have different degrees of playability

[desert crater]

with upscaling it's totally doable imo

[pure garnet]

the game i play doesn’t have a working version of dlss

[desert crater]

optiscaler 🙏

[oak vector]

It seems pretty solid too??

[oak vector]

😔

[desert crater]

I had a similar issue on plague tale requiem where it has a forced TSR upscale that looks absolutely awful, and no FSR

[merry stirrup]

realest shit

my 7800XT would explode at 4K but akn has a good time with his 4070 (equivalent in raster)

[desert crater]

had to use optiscaler to trick it into seeing my amd card as nvidia, and using FSR 4 instead

[pure garnet]

like rn i play 120 locked at 1440 and use about half my card tdp

at 4k last i remember it wasn't locked

and im not gonna buy a 4k 240hz display to run a game at like 90fps

i tried to turn dlss on and the game is hard crashing

square enix cooked on this one

[desert crater]

square enix mentioned thank you for life is strange 🙏

[pure garnet]

my fps got lower with dlss on that's funny

[hoary hatch]

I want 5k 32" and I think I'd be set

[pure garnet]

not doing the 120fps cap for whatever reason

oh my fps isn't capped because i didn't reinstall rtss when i reinstalled windows

im so smart

[brisk jolt]

yall take a 4k 27” for ppi or 4k 32” for big

[devout ridge]

latter

still more ppi than 1440p 27in iirc

[brisk jolt]

160 vs 130 range

1440p 27” is like 108

[pure garnet]

i'd take the 27 personally

this was before i turned ram but like

yeah i want faster card for 4k first

[brisk jolt]

27” I can still consider using one fuckass portable monitor laying around

32” I dont think ill bother since it might be too much shit going on the table for my liking

[pure garnet]

i have like a 16 inch portable monitor i use for testing systems

its a junk tier matte 1080p60hz panel

i use 2 27 inch displays at my desk though

[steel stream]

Can confirm I do

but 5070 ti comes friday LOL

[shell void]

now that i just went from 27 to 42 back to 27

32 is the best size for my desk

[steel stream]

tomorrow I get the joy of calling samsung support for my TV

[steel stream]

oh did you buy the monitor?

[shell void]

i got a 27" 4k240 qd oled to play with for a few months

[steel stream]

ah sweet

[shell void]

ill hop to a 32" 4k240 glossy tandem rgb w-oled whenever those are available

[steel stream]

fire

[shell void]

probably mid next year if i had to guess

[steel stream]

I love QD-OLED but this Samsung is pissing me off

if only I could buy a LG G5 </3

would be so peak

[shell void]

if only it wasnt a gajillion dollars

[steel stream]

I need 5nail money

[rigid orchid]

I'm still rocking a 32 4k va monitor

[shell void]

yeah 27 is too small for this desk

i mean it doesnt help that i just dropped down from 42

but i had to pull this monitor way closer

[steel stream]

I can push this C4 even farther away but I am waiting till I get my speakers and new amp

also I bought a subwoofer too

[shell void]

hypesauce

[steel stream]

most of it arrives wednesday, Headphones, Speakers, Amp, then sub thursday and 5070 ti friday

[brisk jolt]

how long is urs and any monitor arms?

[edgy laurel]

man, 20y/o's either have a lot more money now than they did when I was that age or y'all are just amazingly irresponsible. I'm totally ok with either. YOLO 🤘 💪

[steel stream]

incredibly irresponsible, I also worked two jobs this summer so I could have a fair chunk of spending money

but the fun money is now pretty much gone LOL

[brisk jolt]

luxuries are technically cheaper as compared to housing (Using the past as an example)

I look at these housing prices and “Damn. Im fucked”

[edgy laurel]

See thats how it works!

[steel stream]

But I might return the S90D get a refund, and then buy another one from BestBuy

[shell void]

my desk is roughly 92cm deep

it's 36 inches

this 27 inch monitor is too small for this desk xd

[brisk jolt]

i mean the length

[south shuttle]

atleast irresponsibly spent not to hazard and alcohol, smoking

[brisk jolt]

lol

[shell void]

oh it's 71x36 (180x92)

[steel stream]

work hard, play hard (I don't work very hard)

[steel stream]

Ah same

[brisk jolt]

Same lengthI was considering grabbing

[shell void]

yeah ive tried just about everything now AKN and i can say that 32-37" would be ideal for our desk size

27" and 42" are usable but those are the outer bounds

[brisk jolt]

got it g

[south shuttle]

i regret investing into chemical fabs short term

it's eye watering to see them dip so much

[steel stream]

Yuh I bet 32" would be the best for this desk, but since I mostly just do story games, and doom eternal now C4 is fantastic

[shell void]

yah 42 is fun

i dont regret playing with it for 9 months

i think 37 would be better tho

[steel stream]

if I was competitve gaming focused like I was when I was a younger man, I probably would have kept my 1440p 27" display, or gotten a high refresh rate 32"

[south shuttle]

i'd put my money into a bank if they would offrer more than like 3.5%

[steel stream]

oh @edgy laurel S90D def has a power supply issue

[brisk jolt]

CL6 1.8v is like what

[south shuttle]

3.5% is pretty much the rate of inflation 💀

[brisk jolt]

DDR2?

[pallid marsh]

What is it doing

[steel stream]

keeps flashing on and off

And has a nice clump of broken pixels in the bottom right

[south shuttle]

is it a power brick or integrated psu

[pallid marsh]

Even on different circuits

[steel stream]

integrated :(

[south shuttle]

the con of integrated psus

[steel stream]

yeah

[south shuttle]

you get a nice package but...

[pallid marsh]

Samsung quality

[south shuttle]

this is what I get for calling them Scamsung

[edgy laurel]

this is very par for the course with Samsung

[pallid marsh]

Hope you get to keep your current tv while they send you a new one like I was able to with tcl

[steel stream]

It will work for a few hours, and then I will turn it off for a bit and go back to watching then it just spazzes out

[steel stream]

that would be hype

I'd buy probs buy a PSU off ebay and see if I oculd replace it

[pallid marsh]

I still need to install my og qm8 in my family room

[steel stream]

77" have widespread power supply issues, I got an unlucky 65"

[pallid marsh]

Did gigabyte make the units:p

[south shuttle]

samsung when your washing machine goes ejects the drum and drive

Basically GB203 max-q with 3gb modules

[brittle trellis]

A quarter of the power

[devout ridge]

i just need it to be 1 slot

[hoary hatch]

Probably lower clocked than max q

[devout ridge]

does the 5070ti usually consume 300w???

[brittle trellis]

It's tdp is 300W

[devout ridge]

that i did not know, jesus christ

[hoary hatch]

So I guess clock speed isn't a concern for the target customer

"it will ai"
"I'll take 300"

[devout ridge]

i wish pcie gen5 bumped the pcie slot power to 150w

[brittle trellis]

Asus's power slot thing just needs to become standard

[shell void]

weirdly they cut it down to 192bit and are doing 12x2

[hoary hatch]

Or the apple one

[shell void]

im guessing for power saving reasons

192bit 5.0x8 probably saves a bit compared to 256bit 5.0x16

[devout ridge]

yes

[hoary hatch]

Yeahhhhh uhhhh I guess the extra transistors use more power than the extra memory chips?

[brittle trellis]

And BTF connectors on every even remotely high end desktop board. The options for BTF are limiting

[brisk jolt]

only thing asus i approve

[brittle trellis]

Basically every new case worth buying supports it now

[hoary hatch]

Seriously

All the cases did it but where are the boards

now? mostly minecraft and osu because my GPU is dying. When I tried more demanding stuff, my PC just crashed xd
but i want to play cs2 with good fps and try a couple of AAA maybe

yeah who knows

you up late @edgy laurel ?

(guess not lol)

[slim pebble]

The little ASUS one, there’s a lot of those broken 4090 graphics card tabs on NorthwestRepair YT channel.

[topaz veldt]

I dunno how that happens - don't install with a hammer.

Apparently NorthwestRepair is not our friend btw

[slim pebble]

I didn’t! 🤣 I was careful. I’m liking this better than the slimer in my kid’s PC.

[slim pebble]

Other side, the one that says ASUS. It’s actually critical

[brisk jolt]

the face of a spy from amd

[edgy laurel]

sorry, just addicted to this show MobLand. I discovered it tonight and now i'm hooked, but I now need to sleep

cliffhangers are a bitch, but its gonna have to wait

[heavy mantle]

whats the price?

oh nvm its not disclosed

[south shuttle]

99999 kidneys

[heavy mantle]

cheaper than i though

[south shuttle]

two market caps worth of apple

[heavy mantle]

pocket change

[livid flame]

What a nub

[rapid dawn]

There's no shroud

Fixed it for you

[shell void]

too much

[shell void]

he’s a chinese spy

@edgy laurel the bell tolls for your 4090

5080 super really is 4090 2.0

[turbid locust]

If these numbers are right there’s something up with my system

Either that or the 14900k isn’t nearly as swag is people say it is

[shell void]

maybe battlefield is a game that loves hyperthreading

most games don’t care either way, but some get huge gains from disabling or enabling HT

[turbid locust]

I will find out Thursday

Because I was getting like 140-150 at Medium + DLSS Performance

[shell void]

that sounds way too low if you were cpu limited

techpowerup results seem higher than others too tho

[spare tinsel]

do these actually matter

[steel stream]

damn 5070 ti is close

[edgy laurel]

it devours threads

also game plays very nicely, have no complaints

DLSS4 extended the life of my card for years

very happy with that purchase now

DICE and Frostbite are making CPU's work for the better.. unlike UE5

[steel stream]

I was getting about 90-100 fps, high settings dlss balanced I think

[edgy laurel]

They're thermal pastes.. they matter as far as to say you need one of them.

[turbid locust]

I dunno man

Like my gpu was going hard but it was basically 1080p Medium? like?

Fuck BF6 is gonna make me buy a 5090

[steel stream]

need a new GPU now

[edgy laurel]

it sure sounded like performance was pretty good for you Mac

[topaz veldt]

https://tenor.com/view/itch-crack-head-drugs-drug-addict-addict-gif-5783847

[brisk jolt]

[turbid locust]

I mean yeah the game looks like at Medium + DLSS performance I’m just coping lmao

[edgy laurel]

people slowly realizing 4K is hardcore

[turbid locust]

Right but I can usually get away with DLSS Quality

[edgy laurel]

meanwhile me at 2560x1600 in 2010

come to think of it, 5760x1080 i ran before that was quite a lot more pixels

[topaz veldt]

1920x1200 in like 2005 was brutal

[turbid locust]

I have to keep by word and be a 60 series and Zen 6 holdout

[topaz veldt]

FIXED Samsung 57" Odyssey Neo G9 Flicker/Underflow when idle at desktop [5361116]````

Look, this is fixed, again, again, again.

[topaz veldt]

or just enjoy today brother

[turbid locust]

I am enjoying today I have a current gen gpu

[topaz veldt]

i mean yeah but a 5060 is kinda roughing it

[turbid locust]

Do not have a 5060 🙏🏼

[topaz veldt]

😛

5070 Ti Super going to be decent?

[turbid locust]

I don’t know if I’d be interested in a Super refresh

Like idk if it’d be worth the time and effort

[topaz veldt]

well what if the time and effort was 0

[turbid locust]

Elaborate

[topaz veldt]

i mean you just... add to cart.... checkout

the time/effort is quite low

[steel stream]

NVL + 6080 trust

[turbid locust]

I meant like buying and selling a card for what will be probably, what? 10%?

[shell void]

5070Ti super is a nothingburger

5070Ti has no need for 24GB for gaming right now

[topaz veldt]

NVL will be cursed, I can feel it- my Z890i Nova going bad is a sign

[topaz veldt]

oh yeah

[pure grail]

thats the thing, who said for gaming

[steel stream]

:(

[shell void]

@topaz veldt i went to bestbuy yesterday evening and bought a 4k240 qd oled monitor to play with for a few months

the black raise is extremely obvious

i am happy to have 240Hz again tho

but tbh C4 42 is a better display aside from refresh rate and SDR brightness

[topaz veldt]

Not sure man - I play in a comfortably lit room and have the G4 to compare to. I have honestly no issue.

which one did you get

[shell void]

ROG XG27UCDMG

27” 2160p240

[turbid locust]

I’ve considered throwing my 1440p 240hz on my desk to play with for a bit to remind myself of 240hz but lol

[topaz veldt]

nice

[brisk jolt]

this gen’s super refresh offers nothing for you

[steel stream]

that's gotta look so clear though

[brisk jolt]

the only real upgrade is 5090

[topaz veldt]

i wish it was easier to get rid of monitors

i would replace my G9 Neo my son uses with a 321URX or similar

[shell void]

same they just end up sitting in my closet if i don’t have a friend or family member who wants them

[turbid locust]

I want to sell my 27” 1440p 240hz OLED on HWS but

[shell void]

LG C-series is just a different beast when it comes to black level

actual black mirror

[turbid locust]

like I have the box and whatnot it shipped in but that shipping would probably be half a million dollars

[brisk jolt]

shipping monitors is a pain in the ass

[edgy laurel]

don't ship, throw it on FBM and just screen the hell out of people until you don't get a weirdo

[steel stream]

imma have to return this 65" S90D most likely, and that's going to be aggravating

[shell void]

you wanna replace it with a 77” B4 so bad akn

[steel stream]

honestly imma just go to BB and pick up another 65" S90D HDR movies on this thing are a treat

[shell void]

they’re like $1100 on woot too

fairs s90d will mog in hdr

i shouldn’t have spoiled myself with the god of black levels (LG C)

nothing else will compare

[steel stream]

Yeah most the content on that TV will be HDR so I will have to stick with S90D

[shell void]

this is likely part of the reason that snail does not see much difference between his G4 and QD-OLEDs

C4/C5 just op

[turbid locust]

Damn 4K 240Hz OLED kinda expensive

[shell void]

yah a bit

in the store they had the 4k240 qd oled that i bought hooked up to a $600 mini pc with integrated graphics lmao

and it was running at 4k60

when i set it to 120 it reverted to 1080p

i chuckled and walked away

[turbid locust]

Lmao rough

But yeah why are these 32” 4K 240Hz displays more expensive than what I paid for my C4 lmao

Sidenote guys my salary started yesterday wooooo

[shell void]

hoorah

big money ballin time?

[edgy laurel]

y'all need some bills

[oak vector]

Spent 85usd on a 1650 super today 😭

[oak vector]

Bills are gross 😔

[shell void]

no

i like having copious amounts of disposable income

[edgy laurel]

those were indeed the days...

[steel stream]

they start soon...

[shrewd meadow]

I am, Sorry for your loss

[oak vector]

Thank you 💔
it’s for my sister and I needed smth in a pinch, it was unfortunately all that was available to me that met my needs 😭

[edgy laurel]

Then the real fun begins
