[topaz veldt]

french printers?

[merry stirrup]

no theyre japan printers

print me like one of your cat girls

[pure garnet]

floppa likes the catgirls

the maid outfit drops latency by 5ns

[topaz veldt]

strange

[brave panther]

i like 3d printers much more than 2d ones

[edgy laurel]

"but if you get 7 of them"

Pewdepie has been around for how long? Suddenly im interested

[steel stream]

living my dream man

[spare tinsel]

moar gpu

that moment when he has all these gpus and

[steel stream]

only a pitiful 140GB of vram though

[shell void]

smh he should’ve gotten two 96gb blackwells

[steel stream]

fr fr

[edgy laurel]

this is so funny

he's learning about bifurcation

[steel stream]

does he have threadripper or threadripper pro

[edgy laurel]

7975wx which I guess is only a Pro

[steel stream]

128 pcie lanes

yum

[topaz veldt]

whats the intention

[edgy laurel]

LLM's

[steel stream]

He should train LLMs on all the footage he has and see what it'll spit out

[edgy laurel]

so he learned he couldn't run 6 or 7 with tensor parallelism, has to be a factor of 2. so he bought more GPU's lmao

[civic reef]

Any software you chaps would recommend for monitoring FPS/other metrics? Radeon software is being.. A bit iffy to say the least

[edgy laurel]

either 4 or 8, so he went 8

[topaz veldt]

yeah its why the H200s come 4 or 8

[edgy laurel]

so he had to learn about bifurcation and get adapters to physically fit them all

[frank zealot]

"it's a computer with parts in it. IDFK"

[edgy laurel]

classic Afterburner + RTSS, PresentMon, CapFrameX + RTSS

[steel stream]

beautiful

[topaz veldt]

Yea makes more sense in a server

[steel stream]

I wish I could have an ADA 4000 awesome cards

[frank zealot]

This is pretty, I wish I had somewhere to use it

[topaz veldt]

damnit, apparently this pc is on 577.00 or whatever

[edgy laurel]

so.. update?

[topaz veldt]

No

[merry stirrup]

its true though

[pure garnet]

@turbid locust you know what you need now

[merry stirrup]

pro 6000?

[turbid locust]

what

[merry stirrup]

7995WX?

[pure garnet]

you need an anime catgirl maid tune according to floppa

[turbid locust]

huh

[pure garnet]

it's ideal ram oc

[pure garnet]

https://www.microcenter.com/product/697038/pny-nvidia-rtx-pro-6000-blackwell-max-q-workstation-edition-dual-fan-96gb-gddr7-pcie-50-graphics-card might be the move

[turbid locust]

@merry stirrup do you want me to send u a screenshot of the OC I had on that card

[merry stirrup]

yea

[pure garnet]

at least it comes with borderlands

[civic reef]

Ehh, RTSS looks best tbh

Thanks for the suggestions though

[merry stirrup]

will this card see the top 100 of 3dmark 70ti

[pure garnet]

why does my newly built microcenter carry ewaste gpus

[turbid locust]

Have no clue never benched it lmao

[pure garnet]

they sell hd 7750s

[merry stirrup]

fanks

[turbid locust]

That got me to like 3187Mhz consistently on that card

[merry stirrup]

i am SO leaving at 6 hours today

[turbid locust]

Never stress tested it but it never crashed so

[merry stirrup]

okie

mem offset?

[turbid locust]

max the slider

[merry stirrup]

lol

[turbid locust]

+3000

[merry stirrup]

i think with cheat engine you can go past that

up to 3999

[turbid locust]

yeah I maxed every slider and then did that curve

stock vbios

[merry stirrup]

ill maybe flash idk

does it have dual vbios or nah

[topaz veldt]

all the mem offset

[merry stirrup]

means it has good mem which means its a competitive card

2.6ghz aggressive bios nice

gotta be the master

[pure garnet]

why does a master 5070ti exist

[merry stirrup]

idk im just happy i can use its vbios

nothing higher than 2670mhz boost

[pure garnet]

2572 it’s over

[merry stirrup]

mine is 2480 or something

[topaz veldt]

do you have to hack afterburner on a 5070 Ti like a 5090

[merry stirrup]

i have the methods don’t worry

[topaz veldt]

It was a question

does the slider cover the range or is it like the 5090

[merry stirrup]

oh yes for higher vram

you can use cheat engine too which is what i do cause im lazy

[warm path]

Are such temperatures normal for a Thinkpad T490 I have? I currently have spotify(with something playing) and discord open

[merry stirrup]

its a laptop, any temperature while operating is normal 💀

repaste it, if it doesnt do anything then yes that is normal lol

98c at a measly 12w is concerning so i bet it will tho

[warm path]

ok, cool, i mean, hot

[spare tinsel]

how big is the difference between 6000cl36 and 6000cl30

[merry stirrup]

not

if you have no intentions of overclocking buy whatevers cheaper between the two

but between us the price diff is so small id buy the better kit anyways

[young void]

Honestly not having any performance diff in algos between my cl 30 and 36 sticks so far for my gskills

[merry stirrup]

(c30 is the faster one)

[merry stirrup]

yeah

XMP's all kinda perform the same

even when theres a significant frequency or timing disparity

6000c30 is probably going to perform within measruement tolerances of a 7200 c36 kit on xmp

manual tune > xmp > jedec

[young void]

Its not to shabby yeah especially at same freq

[spare tinsel]

why is there 2

[steel stream]

because they are two different panels

[frank cypress]

mreow

[steel stream]

you lucky bastard

[frank cypress]

you can probably find one for around 750 dollars now

[steel stream]

I am waiting for Floppas work to upgrade off their 4000 adas and I will buy them for cheap cheap

[frank cypress]

thats roughly what I got mine for

[steel stream]

So maybe 2 years

[hoary hatch]

I am waiting for floppas work to upgrade their floppa so I can get the old one

[shell void]

[steel stream]

As long as I get the 4000 adas you can have Floppa

[merry stirrup]

on the way

gotta get me a foundry job tho

[green marsh]

and he runs them on Arch i guess

[edgy laurel]

Ubuntu, this time

[green marsh]

Arch boys crying in corner 😄

[edgy laurel]

Arch on his first PC

something about drivers being easier in Ubuntu

[green marsh]

that is how you go full circle.
You start with Ubuntu as first, cause it's easy
Then you go Arch/Gentoo, to customize
And then few years you go back to Ubunt, cause it's easy and you are tired of tinkering 😄

[edgy laurel]

He certainly came to this conclusion quickly lmao

[vale cosmos]

i use arch btw

[topaz veldt]

Don't confuse Arch users with Gentoo users

[steel stream]

trying to find nvidia edu discount

[bronze mango]

Then you go back to windows

[bronze mango]

Do they have a student discount?

[steel stream]

https://developer.nvidia.com/education-pricing technically yes

[shell void]

https://www.pny.com/promo/professional/edu-promo

[pure garnet]

https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/industries/higher-education-research/academic-grant-program/

[green marsh]

for desktop, mosly yes-ish. But i keep Linux around for other use cases. I am an equal opportunity operating systems user. I got Windows, Linux, macOS

[bronze mango]

How heavy is it?

[wraith steeple]

[wraith steeple]

I want to try this.... For research purposes

[topaz veldt]

@steel stream I can setup a NAT to this 4xH200 for you

[steel stream]

that could maybe work

[steel stream]

same, same

[topaz veldt]

not sure if its enough power for you

[steel stream]

yeah I am going through the specs rn and idk if it'll be enough

my AI girlfriend says she wants more power than that

[frank cypress]

how much discount 👁️

[steel stream]

they just say EDU discount but I have no idea how to get it or what it is

[frank cypress]

I mean im not gonna buy one but I need to know

I might email them to satiate my curiosity

[steel stream]

lmk what you find out

[fringe vigil]

Hola

[steel stream]

hola

[wraith steeple]

Aloha

[frank cypress]

hola

[pallid marsh]

Any Samsung updates?

[steel stream]

Oh, bought a new S90D from costco that works great, old one was picked up by Woot and will be RMAd and hopefully fully refund

[pallid marsh]

Was the Costco one cheaper?

[steel stream]

nah

like $200 more

I also did bump the TV on a corner when putting it back in the box but I am sure it'll be fine

[pallid marsh]

Damn Samsung/woot scammed you out of $200

[steel stream]

yeah :(

But the dude who came to pick up the TV overhead pressed it and then just put the box screen side down on his shoulder

[pallid marsh]

TCL remains the best has Dolby vision and give you free TVs 😎

[pallid marsh]

What..

[steel stream]

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

[steel stream]

yeah was kinda crazy to see lol, dude must have been told it was already broken or smth

[mortal pumice]

Is this normal?

[pallid marsh]

When we take back broken TVs we still need to place cardboard on the big metal cart before we set the TV on it

[steel stream]

def not proper handling for sure

very interested what was in the truck

or how it was handled in the truck

[steel stream]

yeah seems fine to me

[mortal pumice]

Getting 80 degrees idle😭

[low sonnet]

Is RX 6700xt still considered the best mid range card

[steel stream]

ok that not so much

[frank cypress]

no

[low sonnet]

What is then

[frank cypress]

not the 6700xt

[steel stream]

wouldn't 5070 TI technically be mid range

[frank cypress]

it was popular for a bit between rdna2 and rdna3 because it was cheap

[frank cypress]

ga203 die so id say low high end

if that makes sense

[steel stream]

from that perspective sure, but I am just going off of the naming you know

[granite dirge]

I dunno if I should get another kallax to flank the other side of remove it and go with non flanked corners.

[frank cypress]

like, 4070ti -> ad104, high mid end, 4070ti super -> low high end

[frank cypress]

oh fair, ig then

[steel stream]

Puget calls it a midrange, but I think Puget has access to a wide variety of cards so could be skewed

But yeah, I think it is def high mid range, low high end, depends on how you argue it. But in this case I will say it's the best mid range card

[hoary hatch]

VRAM bad?

[merry stirrup]

context

but probably

[hoary hatch]

Marketplace gpu

$100 3070

[merry stirrup]

easy way of telling is if youre testing it and canlike touch the vram and move it around you can see if its at least like contact

aka just bad bga and not chip

[merry stirrup]

eh i think id skip on it

[hoary hatch]

Only displays fine at a zoomed in resolution.

Artifacting at 1280x720p resolution, showing lines when on, pics attached. Everything else works, can still be used for gaming.

FOR PARTS or to try and game on zoomed resolution.

[merry stirrup]

"zoomed in resolution"

can still be used for gaming implies that drivers install which i mean i guess is good

[steel stream]

probably

[mortal pumice]

Is this normal for a 14700k while gaming? I feel like it's high

[merry stirrup]

sure is high

intel stock settings at it again im sure

[shell void]

hard to say without seeing voltages and wattage

[edgy laurel]

73c is high for a 50% gaming load without knowing if they have optimal cooling? I think its probably hard to say

[merry stirrup]

73 is on the desktop lol

[edgy laurel]

says Current

[merry stirrup]

alt tabbed out the game its probably running at a lower fps

[edgy laurel]

and they says "while gaming", i would hope the "Current" is also while gaming

otherwise that screenshot is useless

[shell void]

i never hit 100c in games unless i was shader compiling with no power limits

before tuning

[steel stream]

what cooler is this

[shell void]

yeah we just don’t have enough info

[merry stirrup]

what anything is this

[edgy laurel]

what anything.. no info was given lol

[merry stirrup]

lol

[steel stream]

yeah I don't hit high temps until shader compile in games, otherwise I am at like 60c on my 265K

[mortal pumice]

Idk where cpu wattage is myb

[shell void]

yeah you’re going up to 1.528v that’s not great

[merry stirrup]

lol

[topaz veldt]

its not 9v

[merry stirrup]

yeah intel stock settings at it again lets gooo

[edgy laurel]

Win-Shift-S bring us to salvation

[merry stirrup]

hes not wrong

[hoary hatch]

Bruh idk what that means

[shell void]

1.52v and only peaked at 5375MHz effective clock

it’s so over

[mortal pumice]

I use my phone as a hotspot for my PC, and I'd have to set that up to take a screenshot and upload to discord

[merry stirrup]

how much you want to bet hes even on the latest bios 💀

[hoary hatch]

I still feel a lot better about the $40 1080ti that I can check this weekend

[mortal pumice]

What's that mean😭

[merry stirrup]

explosions going on at a microscopic scale in ur cpu

[shell void]

your cpu is using a lot more voltage than it needs to which is causing it to run hot and throttle clockspeed

[hoary hatch]

That one powers into windows and runs....just doesn't seem to have power from 8pins

[mortal pumice]

I am not, there was one released like 5 days ago I didn't care to get

[merry stirrup]

close enough

[hoary hatch]

Okay floppa be real with me

$15 z490 ace yay or nay

[shell void]

$15 is crazy

[hoary hatch]

Like it's lga1200 do I need to bother

[shell void]

i would pay $15 for a z490 ace

[hoary hatch]

"only 1 dimm slot works"

[shell void]

nvm

[mortal pumice]

Ah, so what should I set it to for lowest temps? Besides 0 tho bc I need it to work

[hoary hatch]

I forgot there was a catch

[edgy laurel]

How to hwinfo

[mortal pumice]

My PC didn't have internet myb yo😭 😭

[shell void]

i have a hypothesis

i want to know what clockspeed your uncore/ringbus is going up to

if your board defaulted it to 5GHz that would explain why you’re using way too much voltage

or if you want a quick solution that might help then hop into bios and set

P core ratio 55x
E core ratio 43x
Max Cache ratio 43x
Min Cache ratio 8x

[mortal pumice]

Where at in bios?

[shell void]

idk what board you have

[shell void]

yes my good sir you have found it

[mortal pumice]

Sync all cores and by core usage, idk how to make that 55x

Idk what I'm doing at all, I try n keep my stuff stock so that it don't break😭

[merry stirrup]

shoulda known that intel cpus hate the ocnsumer

[shell void]

do you have a z690 or z790 board

idk what you’ll be allowed to change if you don’t

[mortal pumice]

Z790

[shell void]

oh nice

[mortal pumice]

Yuh

Idk what or how to change stuff tho😭

[frank cypress]

no balls

[mortal pumice]

Should the max really go from 8 to 43? I think I changed them all tho besides max cache

[topaz veldt]

lol 8

he said min cache 8 max 43

[mortal pumice]

My max is set to 8 rn

[topaz veldt]

yes that is wrong

[mortal pumice]

Automatically

[topaz veldt]

yeah because you prob set min 8

and it makes the min the max by default, you want min 8 max 43

[mortal pumice]

I havent touched cache yet so jdk

[mortal pumice]

What should I set the voltage to

[merry stirrup]

he didnt say change the voltage did he

just save and exit with those changes

[mortal pumice]

Yeah, but it's still going to 1.5v after doing that

[merry stirrup]

dont change anything he didnt say

[shell void]

for real? gah damn

[merry stirrup]

then it wasnt cache, theres a couple ways thru this

[mortal pumice]

1.468 at idle

[merry stirrup]

well thats normal

do a load

1.468 is a lot different than 1.52 just saying

[mortal pumice]

Sorry swapped

1.486

[merry stirrup]

still pretty different but closer

[shell void]

if you download intel XTU then you can play around with clockspeeds without rebooting and going into the bios

[merry stirrup]

10-even 20mv matters

[merry stirrup]

yeah id try 5.3 allcore or something

or playing with loadline

[shell void]

53x 42x 42x would be 13700K clocks

[frank cypress]

[merry stirrup]

wait i think asus loadline default is 6

[topaz veldt]

sheesh

SP31 CPU

[merry stirrup]

go into your bios
ai tweaker
digi+ VRM settings
disable sync ac dc loadline sync with cpuy
set loadline to level 4 @mortal pumice

[frank cypress]

actually yeah, it defaults to intel failsafe

oh I was thinking svid behaviour

[merry stirrup]

i remember on your board to make it behave like mine we had to do what i did above

[mortal pumice]

So do u want me to test it under load or nah😭

[frank cypress]

should probably change that from failsafe to typical for the svid behavior no?

[merry stirrup]

how freaking long does it take to click start on an all core test

[merry stirrup]

yeah that too but idk where that one is

[mortal pumice]

I'm launching a game, no test software

[pure garnet]

it’s right under mce basically

[merry stirrup]

youre not seeing if its stable, just start it and look at the voltage

[pure garnet]

intel failsafe svid is like 1.5 idle on my 12900k which is insane

[merry stirrup]

mkay yeah put this option to trained

[frank cypress]

yeah cause failsafe is for exploded cpus

[merry stirrup]

or typical-case

[pure garnet]

yeah but asus is malicious compliance and sets it as the default

[frank cypress]

just a hail Mary for cpus that need a shit ton of voltage to run

[frank cypress]

yeah straight up fucking evil

[merry stirrup]

i dont htink its asus

[merry stirrup]

looks better

getting places

do what we said above

[frank cypress]

yknow what

[merry stirrup]

expect idle volts to stay around 1.4 or 1.45

[frank cypress]

I wonder if my board acts differently than yours because of this

[merry stirrup]

does the same thing on my msi board

[frank cypress]

I use typical

[pure garnet]

i’d have to get my tommy out to look but last i remembered it didn’t blast my alder lake chip with bizzare voltages

[frank cypress]

not trained

[merry stirrup]

i set best case lol

[frank cypress]

🤔

[merry stirrup]

u have KS u should be able to

[mortal pumice]

Is it gonna keep cool? Cuz it usually gets shoved in a corner and I don't want it running warm lmao

[frank cypress]

yeah i guess i can try switching to that

[merry stirrup]

idle means its doing nothing

[mortal pumice]

I mean with your settings

[merry stirrup]

iirc we figured out why it didnt want to droop any voltage, which was my biggest problem with your board

[mortal pumice]

This

[merry stirrup]

that makes it run at less voltage bro

[frank cypress]

did we?

[shell void]

which will make it run cooler yes

[merry stirrup]

yeah, it was the AC DC loadline sync

[frank cypress]

oh

ngl memory hazy

[merry stirrup]

thats y i told him to disable it so the vrm does vrm things and actually vdroops

[mortal pumice]

It was all already at this

[merry stirrup]

and disable loadline sync was set too?

[mortal pumice]

Yeah

[merry stirrup]

mustve already told you that im smart

[frank cypress]

after getting the KS ive been just running Michael numbers and moved on cause well

the efficiency is really nice in the summer

[merry stirrup]

then go do some moderately long term testing and report back

oh yeah set SVID behavior too

apparently its right under multi core enhancement, you can search it

set it to typical case or trained, probably typical to be safe

[merry stirrup]

tis meta tbh but i don’t care for efficiency or my chip really so

[frank cypress]

yeah makes sense

[merry stirrup]

i just let er go

[mortal pumice]

Well it would overheat after like 6 mins in this Game, so as long as it doesn't overheat then, do I gotta test it?

[merry stirrup]

i’d test it so we get satisfaction that it worked and that we’re smarter than intel

[shell void]

are you doing the 4.8 3.9 and HT enabled config

[merry stirrup]

thanks

[frank cypress]

yer

[shell void]

the “i do work on my pc and don’t want to blast 253w” config

[merry stirrup]

lol

[frank cypress]

its good

35k cinebench, 4k lower than stock for like, half the power

[shell void]

[merry stirrup]

DAMN.

[young void]

Intel with pl1 and pl2 limited is super efficient

[frank cypress]

buy it buy it buy it

[topaz veldt]

yeah people were buying the newegg combos

[shell void]

i’m not interested in a z890 master enough to give a random guy my address for a discount

[frank cypress]

you neeeeeeed a 285k

[shell void]

i do keep looking at used z790 apex encores and i need to stop

[topaz veldt]

you want an apex a04

[frank cypress]

did 5nail sell his yet?

[topaz veldt]

long gone

[frank cypress]

figured

[shell void]

some lucky soul out there got an apex and good bin 14900k for pennies

[topaz veldt]

like $450/ea

I did ok on each

[frank cypress]

someone is selling a maximus formula for $400 cad rn

[shell void]

okay not pennies

[frank cypress]

but 4 dimm stinky

[topaz veldt]

yeah that is a bad board

[shell void]

don’t buy anything 4 dimm for lga 1700 unless it’s cheap

[topaz veldt]

1700 or 1851

[mortal pumice]

Already crashed, w settings💔

[shell void]

this was before they started putting effort into making 4 dimm boards work well for tuning

[frank cypress]

new cpu

[mortal pumice]

No

[frank cypress]

new pc

[shell void]

time for you to start your tuning journey

you must learn how to tune in order to make your 14700k behave

[mortal pumice]

I just wanna drop temps😭

Maybe the crash was an accident

Nope

[shell void]

you still have that?

i thought you dumped your white z790

[merry stirrup]

W, change svid behavior back to auto 💀

[frank cypress]

wait, what are you doing when it crashes

[turbid locust]

My Friday has been annoyingly busy

[merry stirrup]

i assume game

[shell void]

your life will be a lot easier if you download intel XTU so that you can experiment with clockspeeds a lot faster

[merry stirrup]

you can also increase loadline and such

[frank cypress]

I remember p95 makes my board and cpu really unhappy

which makes sense cause the undervolt

[shell void]

if you’re crashing p95 then you’re not stable

[frank cypress]

well only when I had any sort of negative voltage offset

[merry stirrup]

p95 is also a load test that you really won’t encounter ever and the creator itself said that it’s not an amazing test lol

[frank cypress]

I think my board just does weird things idk

[shell void]

you should be able to run anything

[turbid locust]

https://tenor.com/view/big-brain-gif-27108854

[shell void]

if you’re not stress test stable then you’re ego clocking

[turbid locust]

Remember kids: anything’s stable if you don’t stress test it

[merry stirrup]

subjecting your computer to p95 for hours is not a top recommendation of mine

[shell void]

it is not a problem

[turbid locust]

tbh some stress tests are unrealistic

[merry stirrup]

p95 has the highest power draw out of anything i’ve ever tested

[turbid locust]

I’ve had tunes that would only crash in p95

[shell void]

small ffts is a useless test tho it’s practically cpu furmark

large fft >

[merry stirrup]

saw my ks hit like a million watts

[frank cypress]

this is the one I ran thst would make the system crash

[turbid locust]

Hi FzR

[merry stirrup]

yeah basically just telling it to draw all the watts let’s go

[iron relic]

if it passes UBM its good lol

[frank cypress]

idk, i haven't had my computer have any crashes since I reinstalled windows

[turbid locust]

💯

[merry stirrup]

i used blend whenever i used p95 but i don’t use it

[mortal pumice]

It was already auto

[frank cypress]

its been good for the past few months

[mortal pumice]

I forgot to change it

What should it be

[merry stirrup]

so overview of the settings then

what have you changed and not changed

[turbid locust]

@iron relic are you still obsessing over oscilloscopes

[merry stirrup]

cpu pcore, min cache, ecore

[iron relic]

super useful your coping without one

[merry stirrup]

what game are you crashing in?

[mortal pumice]

P core, e core, max cache, min cache, everything else was right

[mortal pumice]

Scrap mechanic

[teal orbit]

Based

[turbid locust]

Don’t need an oscilloscope if you just tune properly

@turbid locust me at work atm

[teal orbit]

"My car is reliable I just can't drive on the highway for 4 hours or it overheats"

[merry stirrup]

i feel like it’s okay to have p95 small fft be the exception

it’s a test that was valid on 4 cores that still drew like 160w during it

[teal orbit]

idk I think you should be able to do anything. Maybe thermal throttle but it shouldn't crash

[merry stirrup]

then your stress test is invalid

[frank cypress]

my car is reliable as long as i dont let it redline for 4 hours straight

FzR I think since the last time we spoke I’ve swapped 2-3 GPUs and a cpu in my daily rig lmao

[mortal pumice]

Me?

[merry stirrup]

no

[mortal pumice]

Oh myb

[merry stirrup]

if you’re throttling during a stress test you’re not testing the clocks you want to test lol

[iron relic]

me jcoc and garagemadlad are hosting an electronics recycling drive tomorrow

[teal orbit]

I would say that's less reasonable although honestly many cars could probably survive

[turbid locust]

sick

[merry stirrup]

allows an ambient temp swing to make your computer unstable

[teal orbit]

I treat it like a stability test

[merry stirrup]

that’s the same thing

[iron relic]

im gonna be sitting for most of the event my ankle is still killing me

[shell void]

moving parts and silicon arent comparable

[teal orbit]

If it throttles first without crashing during the surges of clocks then you're good

[merry stirrup]

that’s not true 😭

[teal orbit]

the purpose was it was actually stable and safe to use

[merry stirrup]

this is like testing curve optimizer with all core loads

[iron relic]

i got a new binned 11900k recently

[turbid locust]

My weekend will likely involve trying to figure out Intel DDR5 and being on call for work lol

[iron relic]

to replace my degraded one

[merry stirrup]

like yeah it’s stress tested just at 4.2 instead of the max single core of 4.8

doesn’t make any sense

[shell void]

floppas ears just perked up

[turbid locust]

Did I tell you I bought a 14900K awhile back?

[iron relic]

yeah

[merry stirrup]

how bad? i want z590 to play w 💀

[iron relic]

my 13900kf and apex encore are still with WMD being repaired

[mortal pumice]

Okay I'ma just reset my bios, how do I lower my cpu voltage?

[merry stirrup]

this is a worse route then the one you’re already mostly done with

[iron relic]

IMC is degraded bad not worth it anymore

[turbid locust]

yeah I imported a z790 mpower and it wasn’t as good as I thought, so I imported a z790 AYW OC and will be swapping to it either tonight or tomorrow

[merry stirrup]

oh thought it would’ve been cores i’m good

[iron relic]

from all my ddr4 record attempts

[mortal pumice]

Idk what I'm doing at ALL and I just need a working PC, I'm tired of messing with it

I have documents I need to fill out

[merry stirrup]

reset the bios, ai tweaker, scroll down, find the voltage mode, set it to adaptive or adaptive offset or whatever includes offset, change the magnitude to negative, then apply a 0.030V undervolt

[frank cypress]

the one with the clipped off corner?

or smth

[iron relic]

no that was a parts board for my actual apex

[frank cypress]

oh

[iron relic]

since its PCB was absolutely destroyed but the components were good its a donor for the couple dead parts on my good apex

[mortal pumice]

Okay, the route we on rn still overheating too, I got it running long enough before crashing in game that it overheated so idk

[frank cypress]

makes sense

[turbid locust]

praying my China apex is good

[steel stream]

what cooler do you have

[merry stirrup]

something gotta be wrong with your cooling solution then

[frank cypress]

bro discovered the xianyu tech

[iron relic]

might have a chiller for sale soon if interested

[frank cypress]

xianyu my absolute fucking goat

[steel stream]

There is always just a tiny bit of me that always prays for you to get the mac bin

[wraith steeple]

[turbid locust]

I’m addicted to importing China only hardware atp

[merry stirrup]

[frank cypress]

what agent are you using?

proxy service i mean

[merry stirrup]

super buy i think

[iron relic]

its a modded hailea HC500A that has a switch that disables the thermostat and makes it run all out

[frank cypress]

ah superbuy is not bad

[turbid locust]

superbuy the goat

[frank cypress]

their shipping and exchange rate is kinda high in my experience

[merry stirrup]

what’s meta give me the sauce rn

[frank cypress]

but theyre far from the worst ive ever used

[merry stirrup]

mac can confirm

[iron relic]

@turbid locust

[turbid locust]

hmmmmmmmmm

[frank cypress]

mac how much was the china apex?

just curious

[turbid locust]

$170 + $50 shipping

[mortal pumice]

Well it's crashing rn, and I can't really get a pic

[frank cypress]

holy fuck thats cheap

[merry stirrup]

just reset bios broski

[mortal pumice]

Would you want me to reset bios and take a pic?

[wraith steeple]

it can touch roughly 0 C for benching runs

[frank cypress]

even with SAL I think my fastest was 3 weeks

though that was a few years ago

[iron relic]

but isnt able to do sustained loads at that temp, just bench loads

[steel stream]

ain't nothing wrong with ol reliable

not long after covid so shipping was still a lil fucked

[turbid locust]

[pure garnet]

i got my keyboard shipped from china to my house in a couple days it was bizarre

[iron relic]

i have a pump i can bundle with it

would look for ~$350 for the chiller/pump combo

[frank cypress]

mac you already blew 2k on a 5090 what's a few hundred more

[turbid locust]

Honestly don’t hold it for me but if you still have it down the line lmk

Is this a new build? If mce is off I sense plastic on the cooler plate still? Also could nuetre the pl1 and pl2 to the coolers thermal limit sometimes dropping to 180-220 can do some wonders if trying to stay cool but, plastic and multicore enhancement are more likely culprits also ensuring the cooler fans are moving air if an older build. Also curious what workload is causing these temps?

[turbid locust]

dude stfu lmao

[low sonnet]

Probably 225-250$

i can work around that

[hoary hatch]

If it's under $250 I'd say go for it

If it's at the same price as a new 9060xt 8gb I'd personally get the radeon

[pure garnet]

can you at least get it stable before you starting selling it

[hoary hatch]

But if you can get 3070 close to $200 that's a W

[low sonnet]

9060xt is currently price boosted in my country right now

Jesus christ the price is as high as a 4090

[hoary hatch]

Ah

[hoary hatch]

Lol wtf

9060xt 8gb here is technically available for $250 but that $250 offer is $300 with a $50 promotional Newegg gift card

So tbh not very exciting

Yeah 3070 under $250 will be fine

why do they have hardline tubing but a sub 200w gpu

What's the point of cloning my smaller SSD to my new Gen 4 drive if I can't even use the full storage thanks to Windows "sandwiching" the main parititon?

[wheat void]

just delete the recovery partition.

[neat shuttle]

Whats the worst setup i can make in 2025

[edgy laurel]

well, thats the thing, there is no point. Clean install, every time. Also with the right buttons and knobs in the cloning software, that was avoidable and the whole drive would be used.

gparted may be able to save you

[buoyant hedge]

I'd rather just do a full reinstall than remove my ability to enter safe mode etc. (assuming that's where the "Advanced Startup" options are).

[edgy laurel]

and join the unallocated space with your main partition

[wheat void]

nah, recovery partition is for restore point metadata

winre itself is still contained within C:

[buoyant hedge]

Okay, then I'll just delete it. IK cloning isn't usually suggested, but this installation is literally 2 weeks old and my hardware is identical since both SSDs are in the same system.

[buoyant hedge]

I even did chkdsk and sfc /scannow before cloning.

[pure garnet]

so move the recovery partition to the end of the drive and enlarge the main volume?

it's like a 30s task in gparted

[wheat void]

(gparted is a linux gnome utility, they can do this within diskpart)

[edgy laurel]

sure about that?

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/manufacture/desktop/windows-recovery-environment--windows-re--technical-reference?view=windows-11#hard-drive-partitions
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/manufacture/desktop/configure-uefigpt-based-hard-drive-partitions?view=windows-11#recovery-tools-partition

[pure garnet]

booting into a live usb is a better idea than destroying the recovery environment

[buoyant hedge]

Too late, already did it.

[edgy laurel]

gparted is the goat, diskpart is ass for anything halfway complicated

[pure garnet]

im pretty sure there's a distro that just only ships gparted on the usb

it's super good for disk stuff

[edgy laurel]

it has its own live usb

[pure garnet]

that's what im thinking of probably

[edgy laurel]

ya, its great

[buoyant hedge]

I tried resizing it before in disk management (I currently don't have linux, nor the gparted ISO atm) and it said it wouldn't be bootable because it would turn into a "dynamic disk".

[pure garnet]

well you should probably at least remake the partition now https://community.spiceworks.com/t/recreate-recovery-partition-in-windows-10-11/1084019

[wheat void]

ye

[pure garnet]

that didn't disprove what guilty said at all

that actually reinforced the first link he sent

[wheat void]

alright lol

[edgy laurel]

I'm just saying, MS's documentation seems to say that winre.wim lives on the recovery partition and it would make sense why

so it can be booted in the event that the system partition has a problem

[wheat void]

alright test this for me, delete the 600MB recovery partition, then, go to advanced startup

go ahead Ill wait

[edgy laurel]

Me?

[wheat void]

idk

idc

[edgy laurel]

Why would I do that? lol

[pure garnet]

just read the screenshot

[wheat void]

then this is semantics.

[pure garnet]

the point of the recovery partition is to have a place when the windows partition is damaged

but instead of reading that it's semantics

[wheat void]

in response to this

im not wrong

[edgy laurel]

I'm not trying to prove anything. I saw a statement, so I looked into it. I can't find anything to confirm it was accurate. what it is or isn't makes no difference to me.

[buoyant hedge]

I bet I can just shrink the volume again and re-clone the recovery partition.

[pure garnet]

there was already a link posted to remake the partition

[edgy laurel]

this seems to explain disabling the recovery partition which then moves winre.wim to the C drive https://thedxt.ca/2023/06/moving-windows-recovery-partition-correctly/

then rebuilding it, and then the files are moved back

so it sure seems like the recovery partition is where WinRE normally lives

[topaz veldt]

i actually have gparted setup for pxe boot

[edgy laurel]

I don't think i'm crazy but...

[wheat void]

you can even assign a drive letter to the recovery partition and see that the agent does indeed exist within it

but removing it does not impede your ability to access it

which is the concern of the person who asked

[edgy laurel]

They should probably do this correctly and not just delete the partition first. Or skip all of that and just let gparted do its magic

[wheat void]

they should probably not be cloning partitions in the first place but you already said that

[edgy laurel]

Thats for sure

[wheat void]

amen to that

Any opinions per chance @merry stirrup, @shell void, @edgy laurel?

[wraith steeple]

Why couldn't he just put the XR5 360 up top

[slim pebble]

Or turn signals

[edgy laurel]

so far, C850 based on reviews

2024 ATX 3.1 C850 is a tried and true CWT CXT, A+ rated. That particular Seasonic has some scary sounding notes attached to its review, but managed A-. The Cooler Master is B+.

[wraith steeple]

Oh and the components...... Azizi could of easily upgraded to the latest gen stuff with that.....

[edgy laurel]

so many questions

[wraith steeple]

I personally would have put the 360 up top, get one of those T fittings for the inlet where the drain valve would go facing down so that it should of been less torture and would have cleaned things a bit

Actually I do have that reservoir he has, so I can demonstrate what I mean

Okay so with how I have this setup, I have a T for the inlet, and have those EK Drain valves on one of the for ports facing down

That pump/res combo he has FYI, costs more than the GPU, mobo, and perhaps the CPU combined

I know this because I own it

Aquacomputer stuff is fucking expensive

? It 2 different thigh

[edgy laurel]

then I don't understand the second question, it doesn't seem to be asking anything

[rare prawn]

No longer have problem with band issues

Since all cellular would be wifi as sevice you pay x amount a month and get a wifi Hotspot including that you have to use and when network update like 3g to lte or lte to 5g company send a notification that you have to upgrade the wifi Hotspot since you don't own all you rent is data amount

[edgy laurel]

I think I follow. Somehow its a phone that only does wifi calling.. ok.

But like, what about it

[turbid locust]

I hate how Intel CPUs have play in the socket lmfao

makes me think it’s not seated right

[merry stirrup]

moderate wiggle

maybe thats why am5 cpus blow up or something

i love how normally when we talk about cpus blowing up we dont usually mean it

nope they just blow up

[random flame]

I ended up picking it as well. It seemed like the right idea.

Anyway, I didn't admit it earlier, but the reason I asked was to make sure I gave someone else a good recommendation elsewhere.
They had stuck to a mid-end gaming laptop for 5 years and now it's age has caught up to it.

So I specced him out a system within a reasonable budget.

Hold up, wrong one. Lol.

That was one recommended to by someone else and he had shown it to me before I made mine for him.

Here we go.
