[frank zealot]

not bad at all

[fervent scaffold]

Its on marketplace near me and a buddy of mine doesnt have a gpu at all so

Figured thats a good starting point lol

[frank zealot]

at 150, i'd say it's a solid buy

[fervent scaffold]

He has it listed for $170, figured I could get him down $20

[frank zealot]

even at 170 that ain't bad

and it's gonna have at least 3-4 years of driver updates left

[slim pebble]

Rule 2: if you’re not doing production work on your PC, a Gen 3 M.2 is fine for gaming. You won’t tell the difference

[fervent scaffold]

Yeah I figured even at $170 id still buy it, I have 2 friends that need gpus lol. 1 friend doesnt have one at all and the other is borrowing my 1080ti

[topaz veldt]

I dunno why she doesn't like this

[edgy laurel]

not high up enough, i'm guessing

common complaint

[topaz veldt]

I dunno

She says it's orange inside lol

[fringe vigil]

Yo

[frank zealot]

even a SATA SSD is fine for most games

[edgy laurel]

Show her this and say now thats orange (and its awesome)

[topaz veldt]

Oof that's a bit much

Love the comp wheels tho

I had the 666m's

[edgy laurel]

just saying.. could be worse

[topaz veldt]

Yeah true

[edgy laurel]

what you have is pretty much a tan

[topaz veldt]

I dunno, I don't mind driving it

Right

[frank zealot]

the difference between a decent gen 3 and a decent gen 5 is tiny.
That's a 5% change.

even a USB SSD is only 15% or so slower than Gen5 NVME

[edgy laurel]

how do you feel about the chunky BMW steering wheels, i love them\

[topaz veldt]

I've had them for a while I'm used to them. I drive with the wheel between my index and middle finger sometimes and it cramps

[wraith steeple]

[frank zealot]

holy shit

[turbid locust]

bossman is letting me leave early to pick up 5090 tn

[slim pebble]

Yeah Gen 5 is a money sink on a gaming PC. Any Gen 4 drive is fine, it costs about the same as Gen 3.

[slim pebble]

Best boss ever, you’re going to like it

[wraith steeple]

Remember

[wraith steeple]

Getting that on your MC pilgrimage is the law

[turbid locust]

I’ve been to MC like 4 times and have never gotten it lol

[wraith steeple]

حرام

[turbid locust]

[wraith steeple]

Haram

[slim pebble]

All must take the holy pilgrimage

[frank zealot]

heathen

buy the bawls

[edgy laurel]

You better rectify that. Buy 5 next time

[turbid locust]

Well that means I gotta buy 5 tn

[edgy laurel]

make it so

[frank zealot]

Guilty, I just found a picture of a case I modded around 00, give or take

It would have been on [H]F at one point, but that woulda been pre-crash

[hoary hatch]

You sold the xtx finally?

[turbid locust]

Yeah about a week ago

5090 is a 1am decision last night

[edgy laurel]

what the hell am I looking at?

[hoary hatch]

I haven't been awake at 1am in forever

I miss college

[frank zealot]

ATX Case from very early 00's

[edgy laurel]

i can't even figure out where the case is, this image is fucking with me

[frank zealot]

And a fish tank mounted in it

[edgy laurel]

OH

[frank zealot]

you can see Molex inside

[edgy laurel]

ok what the hell were you thinking? lol

[frank zealot]

I was bored.
I worked at FrozenCPU at the time.

[wraith steeple]

RIP FrozenCPU

https://tenor.com/view/snake-salute-mgs3-gif-9277925

[frank zealot]

FUCK NO

Friga was a raging asshole who deserves to deep throat a cactus

And then be force fed lemon juice

[wraith steeple]

Oh nono, not that FrozenCPU. The one under new ownership after the previous regime collapse

[green marsh]

ROFL, someone is selling four 12TB IronWolf pro drives with 40-42k hours. He asks 138 euros for each 😄

[edgy laurel]

i'm pretty sure FrozenCPU was at a few LAN's I went to back in like 2011ish

[frank zealot]

it's possible

They were originally from the Rochester NY area

Here's something I made at my old job. Part of me wishes I'd kept it.

[wraith steeple]

Sadly the folks who worked under the old ownership that forced him out did see decent success before biting the dust for good

[edgy laurel]

oh man, so sad. their webpage and the images from all the past LAN's seems broken.

no ones putting any money into itanymore

[frank zealot]

Mark made / bought good product, but the dude was an asshole and a raging piece of shit human

[wraith steeple]

They had a massive sale at the end of last year as they said they were moving warehouses........ But haven't updated since and the URL is gone so it's fair to say they're gone for good. The new regime almost ranked up there with PPCs in terms of variety, and the only ones in US to have Icemancooler products before falling

[frank zealot]

I worked there for a couple years, and I actually created new ways for him to make money.
But he was a terrible person.

At one point I was fully in charge of the shop for two weeks, cuz he was in jail for drunk driving.

[wraith steeple]

Though yeah, he was an absolute shitbag of a person. Was happy for the workers under him after basically running him away from the company. It did look promising for the new owners but it just didn't last

That was where I got my Mora 420, the NC location

[frank zealot]

wasn't ModMyMods started by ex-frozen employees?

yes it was

https://hardwarecanucks.com/forum/threads/former-frozencpu-employees-start-their-own-company.70176/

[steel stream]

damn

[wraith steeple]

Yep that's him. The new FCPU regime (NC location) were the ones who briefly brought it back for a bit. The new regime's website was better than PPCs I dare say. Though I'm not that torn about it as now PPCs is my primary go-to as they received a massive Mayhems haul as at the time, New FCPU was the best place in the US to get Mayhems

ModMyMods is also good but their site is a bit outdated and shipping times are very bipolar

It's entirely dependent if they have it in their physical store or not

They would sometimes ship the invoice to the manufacturer (i.e: Aquacomputer, Alphacool, Mayhems) and then will ship it once they have the item in hand

That was the case for my Aquacomputer Octo and Ultitube mount at least

[frank zealot]

I've ordered a few times from MMM and never had an issue.

MountainMods, too.

[wraith steeple]

MMM Mod Water is great stuff. Is basically Mayhems XT-1 with some added stuff thrown in

TitanRig - definitely on the more expensive side though haven't had any issues with them. They used to be in Texas close to EK US then moving back to Cali where they started

[fringe vigil]

[wraith steeple]

Mick made some great coolants, but man he really needed to learn when to just "shut up and let the products sell themselves"

Mick is Michael Wood, the founder and former owner of Mayhems

He stepped down shortly after XTR got released, which was the ungodly expensive successor to Pastel

I remember the beef that J2C and Mick got into a decade ago

[steel stream]

My 5070 Ti is now in michigan, still being delivered monday :(

[edgy laurel]

maybe, just maybe it comes tomorrow

[pallid marsh]

[steel stream]

Damn, young J2C

[pallid marsh]

Ew young Jay only has one monitor

[cerulean mason]

so i have an issue with my ethernet, i have 1gbps speed and it just disconnects randomly and then reconnects, first it would set the speed to 100mbps and never disconnect again, then i forced it to 1gbps, it now keeps disconnecting and reconnecting to 1gbps but the disconnect issue is still there, i tried it on a laptop and the issue doesn't appear, i have a new router, ethernet cable, updated drivers etc and nothing works.

[steel stream]

Ah UPS Ground, only business days

[pallid marsh]

Nah that's just regular Samsung shenanigans you still have bad luck to spare

[steel stream]

darn

[edgy laurel]

booo

[steel stream]

agreed

[late rose]

is 7800x3d cpu a good combo with a 5070ti or i can get a better combo

[edgy laurel]

9800x3D is "better"

[pallid marsh]

Tis good

[wraith steeple]

yeh. This as over the Pastel line. The Pastel/Opaques were known for being troublemakers for shifting (especially the yellows and oranges as they were the worst offenders). Best scenario was that they would eventually turn transparent over time

[steel stream]

the best combo is a 265K with a 5070 ti

[wraith steeple]

Whites and Blues didn't suffer from this as much

[steel stream]

the dye would separate out or something?

[steel stream]

kaboom chip

[wraith steeple]

something like that. Also didn't help that they would gunk up blocks and rads overtime. Yellow and Oranges would go from a solid yellow/orange........ to a noctua brown

There's a reason why they have gotten phased out

[pallid marsh]

Oh cool color changing coolant:p

[brave panther]

no way, they 3d printed the save icon

[steel stream]

https://tenor.com/view/rhett-and-link-nerd-vs-geek-rap-battle-store-glasses-gif-17402325

[merry stirrup]

bros detonating

[wraith steeple]

There is Mystic fog by EK, which was an in-between coolant Where it wasn't a transparent/translucent, but it wasn't pastel/opaque either. Also there's XSPC Luminara, which was to compete with Mystic Fog

Such a weird coolant

[steel stream]

oh shit

[pallid marsh]

Too bad you bought the lame 70ti

[turbid locust]

This is… like $150 more than I paid for my 5070Ti…

[steel stream]

yeah my 5070 ti was 850 not including trade in

[edgy laurel]

welp

[turbid locust]

Mine was $909 after tax

[steel stream]

mine was 900 flay, maybe I do trade in, sell 5070 Ti BNIB and get 5080

[pallid marsh]

Still salty we have $850+ 16gb card

[steel stream]

jk that's too much effort I will wait for 6080

[turbid locust]

just be the third person to do the 5070Ti to 5090 arc

[wraith steeple]

Problem is....... They have the same issues as pure pastels

[steel stream]

dawg I ain't got that money

[turbid locust]

No balls

[frosty prism]

it just keeps coming

[steel stream]

I'd have that money if I didn't spend all this moolah on audio gadgets and gizmos

[pallid marsh]

Changed cooler with temp or UV light?

[steel stream]

Also purchases are on hold till I figure out this S90D

[pallid marsh]

Got distilled holy water?

[frank zealot]

hmmmm: I just found a M.2 Waterblock....

Do I slap it on for the lulz

[steel stream]

sadly not

tried a UPS and that didn't work so tv is just cooked

woot support has been awful

[wraith steeple]

The idea was to have the Coolant be synced with your RGB lighting with Mystic Fog and Luminara. There are also UV reactive coolants (I have a few bottles) that were popular in the early 2010s, and recently it's been making a comeback

[frank zealot]

Microfins? We don't need no stinkin microfins...

[pure garnet]

the 5080 isn’t real because it’s not worth buying

[granite dirge]

needs more ,macro fins

[wraith steeple]

i wanted the scrapyard wars behind the scenes

[frank zealot]

I mean, M.2 only provides ~15w of power, so it's not like it needs much

[frank zealot]

Part of me really wants linus to get ghosted by the dude on the island with the TV.

It'd be HILARIOUS

[steel stream]

[granite dirge]

ive been good, i didnt eat out this week yet, so im tyring to figure out if its a wendys or mcdonalds night... gonna have leftover mac n cheese as the side so no fries,

[wraith steeple]

[pallid marsh]

It's hot get a Wendy's Frosty

[granite dirge]

frosty would melt in the 30 min delivery time fir wendys

[wraith steeple]

I used DW with Mayhems Inhibitor+ and Hades+ for a bit before they ran out after years of service. Now I used premix bottles from Aquacomputer, Koolance, or Mayhems these days

Should i get pizza from costco

[wraith steeple]

Costco Pizza is shockingly good for what it is

[steel stream]

food court or just a frozen pizza

[steel stream]

the food court pizza is one of my favorite pizzas

[molten iron]

Dude just make rounds around the food samplers with different outfits, hair, and mustaches.

:)

[heavy mantle]

Tes

[steel stream]

I actually just had a slice today

As well as the strawberry sundae

[heavy mantle]

Am in huston today not in austin so no no food supplies

[wraith steeple]

Yeah it reminds me of Buscemi's in a sense that you would not expect it would come from

[steel stream]

yuh

40g of protein in a single slice of the cheese pizza is also awesome

[wraith steeple]

Buscemi's, a liquor store being one of my top 10 pizzas in MI is something I never thought would be possible

[pallid marsh]

Way too much grease

[steel stream]

you never know where you'll find a good slice

[pallid marsh]

I legitimately wipe off the Costco pizza grease off with a napkin

[fringe vigil]

im taking robutussin

[steel stream]

the cough medicine??

[fringe vigil]

i dont know why that shi got me lazy right now yeah

[steel stream]

It has Diphenhydramine, which can cause drowsiness for some people

[fringe vigil]

cant do percoset or molly

[arctic bronze]

[frank zealot]

Diphen will put the majority of people to sleep

[wheat void]

[steel stream]

Did they give a reason why? Just curious

[edgy laurel]

[steel stream]

if it's a zombie apocalypse I will just die I have no interest in living in that world

yeah we're chillin on 5090 while waiting for 6090

4090 was too slow

[wraith steeple]

Yep it's basically if Heatkiller and Thermal Grizzly Deltamate had a forbidden lovechild, this is what that offspring would look like

[fringe vigil]

4090 is still a powerhouse

[wraith steeple]

Please Matt of PPCs, get the owner to get these in the store. Those are so hot

I don't want to go through the headache of navigating AliExpress or Taobao

[shell void]

yeah it’s a decent third place card

[steel stream]

I need the performance of like 4 5090s tbh

[turbid locust]

I never noticed the difference tbh. DLSS was so much better than FSR it was basically a raster buff for me lmao

[merry stirrup]

this 5700G is defective/broken in some way

maybe i degraded it

[pallid marsh]

I wish the steam deck had fsr4

[merry stirrup]

at any point on this board if it’s stock it will crash in windows at exactly a minute and thirty seconds uptime

and if only dies if there’s no load

what we thinking, SOC or cores dead

[odd steeple]

Is there a way to take this fan off so I can clean it

[merry stirrup]

i see the screws for it

you can figure this one out

[odd steeple]

That’s what I was thinking

[pure garnet]

is that your cpu cooler

[merry stirrup]

what do i even do 💀

if i lock its freq it’ll work just fine

worried it’ll just keep degrading atp tho

[shell void]

same but unironically

[frosty prism]

is that one of those AIO monitors?

[merry stirrup]

what

like a computer in the monitor? no

[frosty prism]

dam

sad

[merry stirrup]

it’s a 5700G that lived 3 years being tortured

[topaz veldt]

I actually like FTC now

[frosty prism]

ram OC?

[merry stirrup]

that i guess can’t do stock settings anymore

[merry stirrup]

yeah i was playing w/my bdie

[topaz veldt]

Degraded?

[merry stirrup]

yeah probably

[topaz veldt]

How many volts

[merry stirrup]

ran scalar for 3 years straight

a lot

[topaz veldt]

Ram is consumable

[merry stirrup]

no that’s the cpu bro

the cores/soc is degraded

cpu can’t idle at stock settings anymore apparently

and for EXACTLY 1:30 no more no less

[pure garnet]

how is that fan attached

[merry stirrup]

explains why i couldn’t install windows yesterday

[merry stirrup]

which one

[pure garnet]

the a12 redux

[merry stirrup]

attached?

it’s sitting on the 24 pin and stock cooler

[pure garnet]

oh

thought it was mounted or something

[pure garnet]

i need to get a bracket because now that i’m using an a12 my ram fan likes to move

[shell void]

so optimal

it's $1.08 from ali xd

[pure garnet]

i just gotta remember to order it

[merry stirrup]

can’t believe this cpu actually is dead

i’m gonna try it in my other boards and see if it behaves the same

3 am4 boards ftw

[odd steeple]

I’m almost certain the bracket that holds the cpu cooler just fell behind the mother board do I need to take the whole damn motherboard out now

[merry stirrup]

no

how many side panels does your case have

[odd steeple]

Hold on

[pure garnet]

are you using a 14900kf on a tiny single fan air cooler

[shell void]

my one dolla bracket touched down in america yesterday but i havent had an update since that

[merry stirrup]

and socket

*AMD

[pure garnet]

no the other guy

[odd steeple]

I’m pretty sure it’s two but I could be wrong I have no clue what to look for I’ve barley looked into my pc tbh with you

[merry stirrup]

so take off the one behind the motherboard

if your case is worth its weight in salt it’ll have a little access panel

to attach a backplate

[pure garnet]

would this fit with my air cooler or am i back to just being cooked

[odd steeple]

I’m sorry to say but there is not one I’m pretty sure💀

[pure garnet]

maybe i just zip tie it to the top of the case

[odd steeple]

I didn’t know what you were talking about but now I do

[merry stirrup]

enjoy disassembling then big bro

my condolences

[odd steeple]

I’m so cooked

[pure garnet]

is this a prebuilt

[odd steeple]

Yea

[pure garnet]

[odd steeple]

Should I just start unscrewing everything

[shell void]

i dont think itll work with your compensator 9000

[pure garnet]

only 1 fan 🥀

it’s not my fault i blindly bought artic and ended up hating the noise profile

[spiral quarry]

I still got my U14S somewhere in the garage lol.

[pure garnet]

i gave my u12a to my grandma

i could technically switch the 2 but what’s the point

oh wait that’s an nf-a12x25 sitting in that thing

[shell void]

grandma rocking a delidded 6700k and nh-u12a to text her friends on facebook

[spiral quarry]

with mounting hardware for pretty much all modern sockets since I've always asked support for it

[pure garnet]

and a 144hz monitor

[merry stirrup]

4.2 at 1.26v load prolly fine on the ryzen right

[pure garnet]

i might bring over one of the p12 pros and take the nf-a12 for my system

[pure garnet]

sounds fine

pbo used to do 1.4v desktop in my experience

[merry stirrup]

i mean it’s already fucked presumably anyways but i don’t want to buy more am4 just yet

[spiral quarry]

Albeit I ended up moving to the Deepcool Ak500 with a A12x25 strapped to it.

[odd steeple]

Dude I just figured out I do have a back panel it was just very hidden it didn’t look like one lol

[pure garnet]

it’s not wrong actually

the monolithic chips usually have better imcs afaik

[shell void]

that's the best board for any am5 cpu so chatgpt wasnt wrong for once

I think capital one just doesn’t give a shit

[topaz veldt]

thats what they always say vs "DECLINED"

[topaz veldt]

amex black definitely does not

[turbid locust]

Also have you guys seen cards with no seal on the outside box? I got to my car and was sketched out and took it back in and they were like “oh yeah some are like that, open it and check the seals on the antistatic bag” and they weren’t broken so

[topaz veldt]

yes - all gigabytes

[turbid locust]

It sketched me out so bad

[topaz veldt]

yup same

[turbid locust]

Because they def had an open box when I was poking around the site last night

I was like “these mfs sold me an open box for full price”

[steel stream]

what fps?

[pure garnet]

i've yet to really make this card grab 300w yet

even though the previous owner could

[strange zinc]

nah it was because i connected my headphones in to th front panel and those sounds are from my gpu and psu

[turbid locust]

160W on my 14900k

[pure garnet]

229w on my friends

e cores + ht on

[turbid locust]

I don’t run HT

[pure garnet]

if i had 16 cinebench enhancers i would consider not doing so but i dont

[strange zinc]

is gtx1080/ti still worth buying in 2025

[pure garnet]

no

[turbid locust]

No buy a 3060 instead

[strange zinc]

3060 costs 1.5-2 times more than 1080

[pure garnet]

replacing the 3770 first

that cpu is long past relevant

even a 1080ti is going to be held back by it

[steel stream]

123w gah damn

[topaz veldt]

@fringe vigil you ever play Mafia on the beach?

[shell void]

no you’re losing driver updates in two months and will slowly start to lose the ability to play new games after that

it’s a 9 year old card

[strange zinc]

wait what

[edgy laurel]

[shell void]

the gtx 10 series launched in 2016, it’s a 9 year old card

its final driver update is in october 2025

[strange zinc]

oh damn

[topaz veldt]

this is the BF I remember

[pure garnet]

can it just start instead of forcing me to sit on this screen

[edgy laurel]

what game mode is 16 players.. likely one no one wants to play as that screen even with 64 goes very fast

[edgy laurel]

i suppose you're right

[pure garnet]

some deathmatch

[steel stream]

ok i got up to 150w

[pure garnet]

i just wanted to jump into a game and instead i got john harddrive

people that do not have gen 4 nvmes should not be allowed to queue for the main playlist fr

[edgy laurel]

i genuinely think its trying to find people actually queueing for that mode

[topaz veldt]

@edgy laurel I might have to build a PC here - ocean breeze and sound... imagine playing Gulf of Oman out on the balcony

i’ve yet to have any queue for bf6 take less than a minute or two

i can pick it up basically same day i get paid on bb i think

[pure garnet]

i have the same one too

[merry stirrup]

mac what one do you have

[pure garnet]

but it’s the one with the 5th heat pipe

[steel stream]

he got the prime

[merry stirrup]

is that one good

[steel stream]

yuge difference

[topaz veldt]

what a vibe

[merry stirrup]

[pure garnet]

msi wanted 100 more for it iirc

[merry stirrup]

850 for the amp infinity extreme

[pure garnet]

scam of the century

[steel stream]

gaming trio seems to be one of the better models i've seen

[merry stirrup]

might be the ticket lowkey

[pure garnet]

is that zotac

[merry stirrup]

yeah

[topaz veldt]

no vapor chamber

[pure garnet]

[merry stirrup]

the top end sku tho

[merry stirrup]

https://www.techpowerup.com/review/zotac-geforce-rtx-5070-ti-amp-extreme/images/heatpipes.jpg

i dont think you can be that sad seeing that

for the same price as a 4 heatpipe msi model

vapor chamber+7 heatpipes lol

[steel stream]

ah ok yeah thats better

[steel stream]

surely for a 300w card I'll be fine

[topaz veldt]

only msi could make non vapor chamber 5000s

[merry stirrup]

legit lol i'll prolly do that

can that fit inn my case tho? fuck

[topaz veldt]

Mac got everyone upgrading

[steel stream]

gaming trio also just looks nice so that's why I wanted that lol

minus the big fucking dragon

[merry stirrup]

ah

[topaz veldt]

fuck dragon bullshit

[steel stream]

AMEN MY BROTHER

[merry stirrup]

okay down a tier i go 💀

cant fit a 4 slot card in my case

[pure garnet]

i think they should make the dragon bigger on your card specifically

[topaz veldt]

I hope whoever designed msi dragon shit is tariffed

[merry stirrup]

damnnn i cant even fit the gaming x trio in my shit

mac how much you want for that prime? 💀

[steel stream]

gaming x trio is big

like 338mm long I think

[merry stirrup]

iirc max for my case is 330

[steel stream]

gonna be perfect for my PA602

[topaz veldt]

@merry stirrup he only wanted $670 when I asked him last night

[merry stirrup]

KAY

[topaz veldt]

lol

[merry stirrup]

he gon get that whether he like it or not

[fervent scaffold]

For a 5070ti?

[merry stirrup]

its used

[topaz veldt]

I think he sai dlike 750

[merry stirrup]

750 is ebay price tho idk

[fervent scaffold]

Well yeah I was gonna say pretty solid

[topaz veldt]

i was thinking about it for my terra

[steel stream]

use your floppa charm

[topaz veldt]

but now i need a beach terra 5090 build

[merry stirrup]

750 with the Mpower

[topaz veldt]

so i need to build a fl 5090 and beach terra 5090

[merry stirrup]

💀

[topaz veldt]

i think a g9 neo would look baller outside

[merry stirrup]

do all gigabyte cards use the goop

[pure garnet]

lucky the dragon

[topaz veldt]

i think so

[merry stirrup]

moderately steered away from the goop

[steel stream]

ugly af

would be such a clean card minus the dragon

[frank cypress]

5090 astral would also fit perfectly

[fervent scaffold]

My dragon matches my dragon on my mobo lol

[topaz veldt]

i have to slimers and one is vertical, no issues

[merry stirrup]

mkay

[topaz veldt]

two*

[pure garnet]

stick a ram fan over it

[topaz veldt]

stick a self tapping wood screw thru it

[steel stream]

the chunk it would leave in my wallet would not fit so nicely

[fervent scaffold]

I dont even mind that dragon

[steel stream]

I was thinking just a shit ton of electrical tape

[merry stirrup]

yo i think the cheapest pny card has 6 heatpipes fuck you msi 💀

[topaz veldt]

i would grind it off on my bench grinder

[topaz veldt]

msi is literally the worst

msi is made specifically for scalpers

[steel stream]

damn

[fervent scaffold]

You would hate my pc then

[steel stream]

did I fuck up

[merry stirrup]

my bad it has 5

[merry stirrup]

the msi cards are much thiccker than this pny card to be fair

[topaz veldt]

yes

[pure garnet]

the pny is fatter than the trio

trio cooler good though

[steel stream]

I should have listened, friends don't let friends buy msi

[topaz veldt]

pny is one letter short from PONY

[merry stirrup]

isnt the trio like 3.5 slots

[pure garnet]

no

[merry stirrup]

oh L

[pure garnet]

it’s like 2.5ish

[merry stirrup]

so you just have shit gpu

[topaz veldt]

so i was planning on working from here for like a few days

but also... BF6 beta

[steel stream]

it's fine it only needs to last till 60 series and I will give the card to my brother

[pure garnet]

like 62c in furmark is good enough for me

[merry stirrup]

i plan on doubling the power limit

or +66%

[topaz veldt]

not tripling?

[merry stirrup]

im sure it wouldnt scale to 3x pl without an evc

[pure garnet]

you’re gonna high effort a cut down gb203?

[wraith steeple]

Eh Sloptimus, what's the story on that PNY block

[merry stirrup]

high effort means 1 shunt yes

my bad, two

[topaz veldt]

tri-SLI 5090s

[pure garnet]

i’d probably get the msrp pny over the gaming trio for 850 though

[merry stirrup]

my bad, THREE i forgot the slot

a lot better than the i think 6 or 8 on my 3080

in much more difficult locations

[topaz veldt]

shart mod

[pure garnet]

why not get the zotac and a bigger case

since you wanna shove mega power through it

[merry stirrup]

i just bought this case

[topaz veldt]

why not delete yoru discord account and never talk about zotac again

[merry stirrup]

literally a week ago

[pure garnet]

hole in case time

[merry stirrup]

i have a full sized atx case just chilling

i also have an ITX board

it would look quite stewpid

tiny board + fat gpu

[pure garnet]

[fervent scaffold]

@topaz veldt I heard you like dragons.

[merry stirrup]

shelf

[pure garnet]

my x550 is butt ugly and i never see it

[shell void]

no surprisingly the trio is one of the coldest running 5070ti

despite being like 2.2 slots

[topaz veldt]

thats not my style but thats ok

[pure garnet]

yeah he's trying to blow 600w through it tho

[shell void]

none of them are going to cope with that

it’s a 378mm gpu and only like 83% of that is enabled

you’ll need watercooling and liquid metal and a prayer

[turbid locust]

[topaz veldt]

he has x3d with 5090

[merry stirrup]

i have to play on low to get any form of meaningful fps

[topaz veldt]

so macs will look almost that good

[merry stirrup]

since when

what happened to the fartx4090

antiquated tech

[fervent elm]

Its summer time
Got to play on low to avoid i9 heat death

[edgy laurel]

[merry stirrup]

no i have to play on low because my 7800xt takes a shit at ultra and i dont want 90fps

i let the 13900ks draw 200w in games if it pleases idgaf

[edgy laurel]

could you imaging all that chaos and RT, good RT

[merry stirrup]

somehow a 5700G that was ran on scalar shows faster signs of degradation than a 13900ks

[edgy laurel]

lucky it runs as well as it does

[fervent scaffold]

Just went 34 and 4 lol

[merry stirrup]

how many frames do you get?

[fervent scaffold]

On empire state

[merry stirrup]

i have a feeling im not legally allowed to expect like 240 on a 5070ti

[edgy laurel]

dunno the max, just sits at 116

[merry stirrup]

ah

[topaz veldt]

nvidia overlay doesnt work lol

[merry stirrup]

should i try my 3080?

[edgy laurel]

na, but steam overlay is much better

[merry stirrup]

its a lot of work to swap cards....

[topaz veldt]

thats cool if you have steam

[fervent scaffold]

😩

[merry stirrup]

[edgy laurel]

[edgy laurel]

XeSS that bad boy

[topaz veldt]
