[fringe vigil]

I’m so excited for SILKSONG

[cyan canopy]

[fringe vigil]

You dont even know what that game is?

Bruh

[cyan canopy]

Never seen it.

[fringe vigil]

Hollow knight bruh

[cyan canopy]

Nope

[jaunty horizon]

Thats a thermopad right? it was on the old ssd in my laptop. Should I remove it and place it under the new ssd?

[jovial pumice]

Heya people, what's the verdict on going from i5 9th gen to i5 14th gen while still using Arc A750.
I plan on getting B7XX when it drops, if its any good that is.

[edgy laurel]

Yes, and probably yes

[sharp heart]

first of all, 9th gen intel does not officially support ReBar, a very very very necessary feature for all arc gpus, so you would have performance uplift for graphics on that front
secondly, why 14th gen intel? unless we are talking about a very good deal, i wouldnt buy into a dead-end platform with known issues

wouldnt expect B7XX to ever drop

[edgy laurel]

considerable upgrade, though i don't know if LGA1700 which has already been replaced once is a smart upgrade path

[jovial pumice]

Sorry yeah I mean't that new Ultra whatever naming scheme.
I didn't know 9th gen was capping my arc pref? Glad to know.
As for B7 dropping, well I'm not dead set on it, I'm just in a position where I'd gladly support another competitor but if they're not any good I'd easily go for a Radeon.

Oh and yeah I think I'm getting a deal on the Intel CPU which is why I'm going for it, my other option would probably be around Ryzen 5 5500

[sharp heart]

that must be an insane deal to make up the difference between ultra 5 (the new i5 you meant) and a r5 5500

yeah, you'd have a very good uplift in both cpu and gpu performance

[jovial pumice]

If I pushed it I could probably get a Ryzen 7 5700?

Actually I could easily get the Ryzen 7 5700, so my options are that or the Ultra 5 225F

[sharp heart]

what about 7000 series ryzen?

[shell void]

i would save up a little more and look out for U7 265K & U7 265KF sales on black friday if you want a newer intel CPU

we’ve seen as low as $225 IIRC

[jovial pumice]

Not really available where I'm looking, all would take the cost over that of the Ultra 5

[shell void]

cute

[jovial pumice]

The deal I'm looking at is part of an Upgrade Kit so it's hard to determine the cost of each part

$400 for Ultra 5, 16GB DDR5 and MSI PRO H810M-B

[sharp heart]

there is no way one cant get a better deal for that price no?

[shell void]

i don’t know how your market is, but i wouldn’t pay that here in the usa

B860 minimum, and 2x16 minimum

[jovial pumice]

A ryzen 7 5700 costs $194,79?

[sharp heart]

how much is a ryzen 5 7500f?

or a 7600

[jovial pumice]

$237,03

[sharp heart]

some horrible, horrible pricing you have

[jovial pumice]

I'm from south africa

So I'm not surprised

Looking now the difference between getting the Ultra 5 and Ryzen 5 7600 is about $5

As a standalone cpu

[sharp heart]

personally, i'd go for AM5 any day, due to better longevity and upgrade paths

but again, i dont know your situation

its not like the ultra 5 is bad, i just think you can do better

[jovial pumice]

Yeah but I think currently any AM5 motherboard I can afford would be fit for an upgrade by the time I'm looking for a new cpu anyway

If I was to go with Ryzen 7 5700 I would get a ASUS Prime B650M-K

[fringe vigil]

What’s plistine

[sharp heart]

hm?

[sharp heart]

btw, for context, if you were to buy into AM4 instead of intel 9th gen (assuming you were to buy one at launch), you would currently have an easy upgrade path to 5000 series ryzen without upgrading anything else

which is why i am emphasising the upgrade paths argument

[jovial pumice]

Yeah, long term wise the ryzen 7 5700 might be better

[sharp heart]

well no

because ryzen 5000 series is now a dead end platform (still good, but no upgrade path)

while the ultra 5 would probably have an upgrade path, but ive also heard about them swapping to a new socket already

just rumours though, so not sure

[jovial pumice]

oh wait ryzen 5000 is still am4?

[sharp heart]

yes, 5000 series is am4

[jovial pumice]

oh yeah it is

[sharp heart]

7000 series is am5

[jovial pumice]

Pushing it I could get onto Ryzen 5 8600G

or 5 7600

[sharp heart]

at the end of the day, its your decision on what to go with

[jovial pumice]

But thats with a more budget friendly mobo

Yeah thanks for the advice

[sharp heart]

perhaps someone else can give their input on this

no worries

[edgy laurel]

7600 bare minimum, or even 7500f. 8600G too much of a compromise

[sharp heart]

personally using a 7500f, works great, 5.2ghz pbo + slight undervolt

[gentle grotto]

No, just put the die on it (not sure what would happen to most paste at that temp but likely nothing good + it would be messy)

[indigo tree]

Cool. Thanks

[hollow pivot]

I changed my PSU to a modular one, I plugged in every cable and everything besides the case fan works fine.
Why isn't my case fan working?

[edgy laurel]

Couldn't say, need to make sure its plugged in

and into what

[hollow pivot]

every cable that should be in the motherboard is plugged, and the case fan is plugged into a case fan slot on the board

[edgy laurel]

troubleshoot. move it to a different header, check that headers settings/curve in the bios

try a working fan in the header thats not working

gotta try things to isolate the problem

[hollow pivot]

theres two headers for the case fans, the fan still doesn't work in both

this problem happened when I switched to the modular PSU, so I'm guessing I'm missing a cable somewhere

[edgy laurel]

try the not working fan in a known working header

[hollow pivot]

the only fan header that I know works is the CPU FAN one

[edgy laurel]

if the PC boots, you're not missing anthing to the motherboard

so its a pretty simple problem to isolate. either the fan is dead, the header is dead, or the header is turned off in the BIOS

moving things around will tell you what is what

[fickle karma]

noice now for 180 euros u can get a used 3060

[edgy laurel]

or you have a fan hub in the mix here and just haven't said so

[hollow pivot]

the fan worked before I changed to the modular PSU

[edgy laurel]

hanging on that point will prevent you from properly troubleshooting and isolating the problem

[hollow pivot]

no bro I'm just telling you everything that I know

[edgy laurel]

if the fan is plugged into the motherboard, the only interaction the motherboard has wiht the PSU is the 24-pin and the 8-pin CPU power

if the PC boots up, both of those are connected

[hollow pivot]

that I know

[edgy laurel]

so your focus can't be on the PSU, its working

[hollow pivot]

how does one turn on a header in the BIOS?

[shell void]

i think roblox is down. this is UNACCEPTABLE.

[edgy laurel]

Your BIOS will have a fan control section, you want to monitor what it says is happenign with each of your headers

[hollow pivot]

let me restart my PC and go on phone

and see the bios

[edgy laurel]

you gotta get the side panel off, the PC powered on, and some spare fans. start moving things around and keeping track of what happens

should be a very simple problem to isolate

[edgy laurel]

Header 1 and Header 2. Fan currently plugged into header 2 isn't working but the fan in Header 1 is working. Ok, lets move the fan thats spinning on Header 1 over to 2. Does it start spinning? The previous fan is dead. Does it not spin? Either the header is turned off in the BIOS or the header is dead.

Now move the fan that was on header two and not spinning to header 1, what happens?

very simple, very basic isolation of a problem

I can't do all this for you, so the rest is up to you

[hollow pivot]

Weird ahh behavior

I moved the fan a lil and it just started spinning

[edgy laurel]

I can't tell if that switch is set to PWM or DC

is they are 4-pin fans, it should be PWM

[hollow pivot]

DC

[edgy laurel]

Only used for older/cheaper 3-pin fans

DC, that is

[hollow pivot]

You were right bro, I had to mess w the places

Case fan works now

Thanks bro you a goat ♥

[edgy laurel]

What was the problem?

[hollow pivot]

Bro I just switched the fan from HEADER2 to HEADER1, spin it with my finger and it started spinning by itself normally

[edgy laurel]

hmm, ok well as long as its working

[hollow pivot]

Which I don't think it means that H2 is broken, cuz that's the place it was plugged in before I switched the PSUs

[edgy laurel]

keep in mind what i said about PWM vs. DC

[hollow pivot]

But anyway, problem is solved

[edgy laurel]

DIYPerks loves brass

[vestal granite]

yeah he solders brass a lot i know that i was gonna buy some brass to solder cause it seemed like fun

[wise bear]

*brazes

[vestal granite]

just like 2 pieces of brass and then i solder the pieces together and that seemed like a fun thing to do but instead i started knitting

[wise bear]

Brazing

Not soldering

joining copper requires a blowtorch

[vestal granite]

yeah

but like the solder is called solder so im like using it as a word like glue im adhesing 2 pieces together with glue right but im gluin em u know what i mean like they got glued

and thats not the point the point is now i know how stitching works (not knitting i thought knitting and stitching were same thing) so i can look at a shirt and be like hmm yes indubitably this is adequately stitched i would say

[wise bear]

Did you write that with voice to text

[vestal granite]

no

some people they write and speak completely differently and recently ive been trying to match how i speak in conversation with my written messages and i just dont do the punctuation at all to make it more insufferable to read

[pure garnet]

why would you take it apart before the upgrades show up

[green marsh]

so i know i can 😄 . I put every screw type into separate bags, won't lose any of the parts. They are stashed away now

it's not like i was using the mini anyway for now. When the RAM arrives, i will set up Linux on it

[turbid locust]

Every time I’ve ever done this I’ve forgotten how to put it back together when it’s time lmao

[green marsh]

luckily there are tons of videos and ifixit guides

but realistically there are only 4 screws for the RAM shield, 2 for the motherboard, 4 for the fan assembly, 1 for the wifi cable holder and 3+3 for the wifi antenna metal cover. you also need to connect 2 flat cables and one power supply cable which looks like a USB3 header cable. And finally snap in the plastic cover at bottom.

[glacial osprey]

Not sure, i was just referencing kind of what i would buy. I realised i need to fix some stuff before i start ordering parts. (Need to fix the fiber and electricity 😅)

So this is just hypothetical build ofc i need caddies. I probably want more ram too

Might try to find a good deal on something and see if i can order ram and cpu on the side or something like that

On that note i realise im not even come close to 10gbe. Watched some youtube and i should probably add slog on raid z

Which probably means i see if i can find any pcie ssd in some form

it looks important

[shell void]

1.77vdd is so optimal bro

[turbid locust]

real you real for dat so real type shit on goddington

I don’t think floppas card is arriving till Monday lmao

Level1Techs helping PewDiePie was not on my 2025 bingo card

[serene sonnet]

@pure garnet here is a google pic of my ”fancy” motherboard

Screams cheap prebuild board xD

[pure garnet]

i mean it’s basic but it’s fine

[pure garnet]

you guys got next day scammed

contact ups see if you can get a refund difference once it lands

[turbid locust]

he did

[turbid locust]

I think he did it through his work so idk how that would go tbh

[pure garnet]

oh

he did just get scammed then

[shell void]

next day (first day of next week)

[pure garnet]

bro got next business day

[shell void]

the UPS board of directors thanks you for your $100 donation

[serene sonnet]

It kinda makes consumer H series boards look fancy though 😭

[pure garnet]

they look about the same

like yeah it has less blank pcb placed where stuff could’ve been soldered in but they’re equally barebones basic

[low sorrel]

wtf is a tandem oled

[pallid marsh]

It's for heavy anti TN

[serene sonnet]

I was more thinking a H board from same gen

I bet this one has NVME SSD support too to piss me off xD

[pure garnet]

yeah the power delivery is equally terrible

[serene sonnet]

Oh yeah for sure

Also I noticed I never said what gen it was, it’s a 300 series chipset board

But if I’m replacing that board and not just building a new server, that board will be minimum z370

[wraith steeple]

goat8auer's new WC stuff is available on PPCs

[tawny nebula]

I'm looking for an affordable ARGB controller or hub to manage 5 ARGB fans. My motherboard lacks a 3-pin ARGB header, so I need a solution that connects via USB and is compatible with SignalRGB. Ideally, the total cost should be under €30, with a preference for around €20. I've been looking and none of the fucking hubs mention how they connect to the motherboard. Or if there any other solutions that doesn't include me having to replace my motherboard

I just need to get this working 🙏🏼

[pallid marsh]

The best free solution is to unplug or cut the argb connection so the fans leds are always off

[edgy laurel]

USB solutions are from major brands and not 30

[tawny nebula]

Fans already are always off but I wanna use them

[queen yarrow]

Can some one help me find a used gameing laptop for 850 euro that doesnt suck ass?

[edgy laurel]

nope. gaming laptops all suck ass and we don't know your location to shop your local marketplace

[brave panther]

they all suck ass

get a steam deck

[pallid marsh]

What mobo

[queen yarrow]

Ohh but i need laptop cus i got shit eye site and move around a lot

[edgy laurel]

buy a macbook + geforce now

(lol)

[fringe vigil]

shall i change to maximum cores

[edgy laurel]

no, you revert it all to defaults

[queen yarrow]

I would like a dedicated gpu in my laptop cus i chould run geforce now on my curent laptop with i7 11th gen and 32gb ram but i dont like how its only for short times with ques

[brave panther]

you can pay...

[fringe vigil]

what is rhis

guilty you playing bf6??

[queen yarrow]

Ya but it still says with short que and only for 3 hours or sumth

[pallid marsh]

Looking for gaming laptops suck the gpus have different power levels so one 4070 in XY laptop could be slower then a 4070 is AB laptop

[tawny nebula]

ASRock b650m HDV/m.2

[brave panther]

you can get shadow instead

[queen yarrow]

Ye that my main problem i watched the how to buy laptop guide from linus and theres 2 laptops one with 4060 other with 4070 and 4060 is better cus power and shit

[pallid marsh]

My god it really doesn't have a ARGB connector wtf

[tawny nebula]

Ya idk how tf that happens

[edgy laurel]

cheap boards skip features

[pallid marsh]

Ew 4060 and 3070ti level cards

[edgy laurel]

why you check what you need before buying

[tawny nebula]

Honestly though argb 3 pin is basic 😭

[pure garnet]

https://www.amazon.com/Cooler-Master-ファン増設用ハブ-MFX-ZHHN-1NNN6-R1-FN1389/dp/B0892FLXDX

why is the link japanese

[edgy laurel]

ton of hubs like that, or even standalone controllers. but they want USB control to interact with Signal RGB

so you need to buy from major brands like Corsair, NZXT, Asus, etc

[pallid marsh]

https://youtu.be/nGy9uomagO4?feature=shared

[brave panther]

that wont work, it needs argb input

[brave panther]

https://github.com/Legion2/CorsairLightingProtocol
and ras pi pico is 5$

[charred osprey]

ive got the same issue so i just bought a sata to argb cable and an argb fan hub, it comes next week

doubt you can find any with usb and signalrgb support

[fringe vigil]

anyone playing bf 6

[edgy laurel]

jorj the beta ended over a week ago

[fringe vigil]

wtf

[pallid marsh]

The devs are

[edgy laurel]

slumming it with 2042

[tawny nebula]

Which one of their hubs use USB

[pure garnet]

corsair commanders use usb but i don’t think they use argb

you probably be better off just getting an argb controller with a remote

https://www.amazon.com/ICOLER-ARGB-Controller-Strip，RGB-Control/dp/B0D3F2612Y/ something like this with a hub for all the fans

[edgy laurel]

https://www.coolermaster.com/en-global/products/led-controller-a1/

[pure garnet]

what did i do to get banned from cooler masters site

[shell void]

@pure garnet @merry stirrup @turbid locust 8000 will not happen.

[pure garnet]

like an hour later and it’s still erroring

why

[shell void]

idk it just doesn’t want to

i’m assuming board issue

[turbid locust]

what have you tried

I mean yeah you guys are on 4 dimmers but

[pure garnet]

h24m needs a lot of voltage to drop timings

[shell void]

the kit is rated for 8000cl36 1.4 and it won’t even work for more than a couple minutes at 1.6vdd xdddd

[pure garnet]

for c34 i wouldnt be surprised if you were close to 1.65/1.55 on that kit

[turbid locust]

probably isn’t VDD related boss

[pure garnet]

did you try going back to 1.25v vsoc yet

[turbid locust]

Have you touched VDDG, VDDQ, VPP, etc at all?

[shell void]

i’ve been trying different primaries, secondaries, and tertiaries with various VDD/VDDQ/VDDIO and VSOC

[pure garnet]

did you lose the gear 2 lottery or something

i didn’t have to touch vddg or vpp at all for my 8k setup

[shell void]

i can post 8000 g2 with 0.8vsoc and i have it set to 1.1vsoc xd

[turbid locust]

Have you touched VDD MISC

[shell void]

nah i haven’t touched vdd misc, vpp, or vddg

[turbid locust]

what are they defaulting to

[shell void]

misc is 1.1, vpp is 1.85v, and vddg is 1.05v

i’m removing the kit rn and putting my 2x32 a-die back in because i’m bored

[turbid locust]

I would try misc 1.15v and vpp at 1.8v

Not simultaneously of course

[pure garnet]

https://www.reddit.com/r/overclocking/s/BbQ3iZAUij holy lottery loss

[turbid locust]

Not enough VSoC

my 7700x needs 1.25vsoc for 6000cl26

[pure garnet]

i mean it’s already 1.24v in the pic they sent

and asus does the overshoot of the century on that value usually

[shell void]

i will note that for the next time that i try

[turbid locust]

and maybe even lower misc. iirc I had to lower mine to like 1.07v for 7800

DDR5 gear 2 is just sweet spot hell

I’ve been trying to stabilize 8200 for like a good 3 and a half hours now and haven’t had a Karhu run past 22 mins lmao

I almost want to order a 8200cl38 kit but

[turbid locust]

meh

[pure garnet]

how many dollars deep are you into the chase for 8200

[turbid locust]

also wtf is the other comment talking about VRMs on the motherboard on this thread

[pure garnet]

idk i downvoted it

the b650e-f fell apart at 8000 but it can 10000% do 6000 fine

[turbid locust]

The chase as always been 8000 I’m just a baller that shoots farther than his goals

[pure garnet]

pretty sure it’s like 14 phase vrm or something too

not enough for a 7800x3d

i hit 8000, i am fulfilled

my cpu literally can’t do higher anyways

[turbid locust]

I solely want 8200 to flex on AM5 users

Even tho people run 8200 on Zen 5 lmao

[pure garnet]

okay but you’ve been through 2 2 dimmers and i did it with 4 dimmer

[meager saffron]

Anyone know if a gaming laptop will charge off a portable power charger if it does 140w 28v 5amp but the laptop only accepts 20v 5amp will the laptop regulate how much it receives through usb-C

[turbid locust]

And your 4 dimmer cost???

[pure garnet]

200 bucks

80 out of pocket after i sold my strix

[turbid locust]

this one was $220

Including shipping cost to import from China

[pure garnet]

lucky the dragon my goat except for when sleep fails to work

fingers crossed it’s been good on a67

[brave panther]

now do it with 4 dimms installed 😈

[pure garnet]

i don’t even own 4 ram sticks of the same memory bin or size

[shell void]

me when my 9800x3d easily posted 4x32 6000 gear 1 with mixed kits

basically a worst case scenario and still lower vsoc than mac needs for 2x16 6000

[pure garnet]

i don’t trust the am5 memory controller to handle 2x24 and 2x16 at the same time doing more than 4800

[shell void]

don’t ask me about running 2x24 8000 tho i don’t wanna talk about it

this board and cpu like to do gear 1

[pure garnet]

just send it with vsoc

[turbid locust]

cope 1 mode

[shell void]

it’s not a vsoc problem

[turbid locust]

VSoC does not help gear 2

[shell void]

i can post with 0.8 and i was running 1.1

[pure garnet]

i was getting no post on 1.15 on a67 for whatever reason but 1.25v was fine

same fclk

igpu disabled

[shell void]

shit is inconsistent when youre trying to run at the absolute max clockspeed that your board & cpu can handle

it just gets funky

[pure garnet]

my board is also like half haunted

no blue screens since the driver update but idk what windows pulled in

[shell void]

if youre having to play with 0.01v steps to barely stabilize something then you probably shouldnt try to daily that xd

if it's like 1.08v is perfect and 1.1v = crash then im not gonna mess with it

im not doin allat

[pure garnet]

i want to dial an 8000 config on the new bios just to have it

but i’ve been on 6000c30 1.35v daily because i don’t wanna run 1.65v even though its fine

[shell void]

high chance that the next kit of memory that i buy is ecc tbh

(it doesnt work on the tomahawk)

[pure garnet]

i’m gonna go look at TVs tomorrow so i’d like to not purchase computer hardware

[shell void]

i think only asrock actually tests ecc on all of their boards which is ironic given the kaboom situation

[shell void]

u gonna check em out at bestbuy?

[turbid locust]

@shell void

[shell void]

zoom

[pure garnet]

yeah they have all the major ones

[shell void]

yah they had all the good shit when i went and my city is podunk

[pure garnet]

and i wanna look at a cheaper tcl just to see what rtings correlate to irl

[shell void]

theyre not gonna have a bunch of TCL and Hisense models on display tho

when i went it was pretty much just 65" QM8K and 65" U8QG

[pure garnet]

there’s a $200 tcl thats supposedly considerably nicer on display but i don’t believe them

but i know there’s an s90d and a c5 on the wall alongside the sony oleds

[pallid marsh]

I love TCL

[pure garnet]

yeah i just doubt a $200 television is a considerable improvement like rings has it at

[pallid marsh]

What model

[topaz veldt]

This you now?

[turbid locust]

Nah just got the screenie to spite mike

8000 is for sure doable now but I havent tested timings at all yet

[topaz veldt]

ah word

[pure garnet]

s551g

[slim pebble]

I wish they would make 32GB single rank DIMMs already, ffs

[turbid locust]

I just spent like 3.5 hours trying for 8200 but was unsuccessful

[pure garnet]

go straight 8400

[turbid locust]

real

[pure garnet]

problem solved fr it’s a magic number

i remember the bz intel memory controller rant

[turbid locust]

vaguely

afaik he never got raptor stable above 7600

[topaz veldt]

thats surprising

[shell void]

ratio

[slim pebble]

That’s 2100 fclk/4200 memclk/8400MT right?

[topaz veldt]

mike y u cutting off the goods

[pure garnet]

he’s on intel so i have no clue

[turbid locust]

is this supposed to be fast

[shell void]

cus they dont read accurately anyway

[pure garnet]

yeah the tomahawk vddio detection is nonsensical

[topaz veldt]

most are

[pure garnet]

shows like 0.86v

[shell void]

it just says 1.30vsoc and 0.00vddio no matteer what you put xd

[turbid locust]

I dont think my HDV even read VDDIO

[topaz veldt]

same on apex

[turbid locust]

yeah it's just goofed

[pure garnet]

are you using override or amd overclocking for vsoc

[shell void]

override

[pure garnet]

amd overclocking reported vsoc correctly for me

[pallid marsh]

Surprised it supports Dolby vision at $250

[pure garnet]

if you wanna try that later

[turbid locust]

why is this not crashing instantly

I sent cl32 as a joke

[pure garnet]

what’s with the ryzen trefi

live a little

[shell void]

i would expect 8000cl32 1.65vdd to work with those dimms

which should be dailyable if you have a ram fan and dont mind blasting it

[turbid locust]

it's such a small gain it's not worth

shit, im not sure above 50k is even worth

[turbid locust]

I have a Pure Wings 3 on it at like 50% rn

[shell void]

it shows 0.87vddio today spectacular

[pure garnet]

you’re dropping cl (ego timing) but won’t max trefi? as ennui says, no balls

[turbid locust]

maxing trefi on intel is useless

[slim pebble]

That’s a high VSOC though

[turbid locust]

just bringing in instability for what

[shell void]

yeah it doesnt read correctly

[pallid marsh]

We are not apes we have better technology then blow air on hot thing

[pure garnet]

try amd overclocking vsoc

[shell void]

my cpu does 6000 at 1.025v and 6400 at 1.20v

with this 2x32 a-die kit

[vestal granite]

its the day that i eat applebees its applebees day i love applebees yay day the applebees day

[shell void]

wow that's so peak

[turbid locust]

I dont btw

[slim pebble]

I thought about that, but don’t you need to remove your heat spreaders for that?

[brave panther]

liquid nitrogen cooling when?

[vestal granite]

recently found out that applebees doesnt cost as much as i thought so now im gonna be eating applebees way more theyre great love me a good applebees i tell you hwhat

[pallid marsh]

Fucker is still out of stock

[pure garnet]

an applebees a day keeps the doctor at bay

[vestal granite]

an applebees a day keeps the doctorbees at bay

[wise bear]

an applebees a day keeps the diabetes just down the way

[pure garnet]

convincing the best buy manager to sell me a 42 inch s90d for $99

surely it’ll work

[vestal granite]

its not that bad its just like burgers n salads n soups n stuff

[wise bear]

I'd love a good tomato soup rn

[vestal granite]

if people live on mcdonalds for 50 yrs applebees is definitely a step or two above that

old people and their mcdonalds i do not understand it they spend $20 on a breakfast at mcdonalds

the vietnam pension is going crazy and they aint got no reason to not spend it i suppose so good for them

[wise bear]

vietnam pension??

[pure garnet]

when i worked at mcdonald’s i would just see the same people walking up and i’d pre pop in their orders

they’d just come daily at the same time

[languid bloom]

damn the h264 transcode engine working overtime on a chromebook

[vestal granite]

what do the veterans people get after they retire they get money from something right i thought it was a military pension

[shell void]

that works

[pure garnet]

wicked

[wraith steeple]

Ah I forgot those exised

[pure garnet]

yeah one of the bios updates mentioned it

[vestal granite]

idk how late-stage adult stuff works im in early-stage adult still (havent bought an outdoor furniture set yet)

wicker chairs

[pure garnet]

what’s the point of outdoor furniture

yeah i’d love a giant spot for pollen to collect

[wise bear]

are you like 14 or some shit

[vestal granite]

to sit outside while grilling food

[neat shuttle]

Yeah just put them indoors

[pure garnet]

folding chair meta

[vestal granite]

and if you have a house party you can sit outside while the wives have a conversation inside

[shell void]

[pure garnet]

folding tables are actually meta for everything because it’s super easy to replace, if you burn a hole in it or something then you’re only out like 100 bucks

[steel stream]

hello

[neat shuttle]

Hi

[steel stream]

speaker stands arrived today

[vestal granite]

cant put weight on them or theyll bow over time though

its not super noticeable but itll roll a marble

[pure garnet]

yeah but by the time it’s like a lga1700 cpu you can just buy another

[shell void]

salam alaikum

[steel stream]

I can't the angle on my speakers quite right now

[turbid locust]

ok there we go lol

[vestal granite]

its the thing like u buy a good pair of boots once or you buy a bad pair of boots once a year for the rest of your life

[pure garnet]

my grandma has an old plasma tv sitting on a folding table

[neat shuttle]

Two sawhorses and a piece of plywood perfect outside table

[pure garnet]

it’s pretty peak

[wraith steeple]

وعليكم السلام رحمه الله

[vestal granite]

two sawhorses or you can use 2 filing cabinets, 2 drawer ones end up at around 30" i believe

instead of plywood you can get a flat door though

[steel stream]

Also took me the longest time to figure out that my Klipsch the Fives have rear firing speakers

[vestal granite]

doorknob hole is good for running display cables

[pure garnet]

i thought a lot of modern doors are built with cardboard in the inside

[topaz veldt]

my son is pitting me against my wife

[neat shuttle]

Make sure the doors old or dont put heavy stuff on it

[topaz veldt]

he wants an RC car and is like $100 short... I was like "no problem" and shes liek "no its $100 more than you have"

[neat shuttle]

Correct

[shell void]

wa alaikum assalam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh brother bone

[steel stream]

so now my speakers sound like they come from my TV

[topaz veldt]

I dunno... he's 90% yolo

[pure garnet]

i think you should get him the car

[vestal granite]

i have not gotten this memo last time i used a door for a desk-top was like 15 yrs ago

[neat shuttle]

How fast does it go

[steel stream]

Have him take out a loan at like 15% interest to learn

[topaz veldt]

Oh I am 1,000% buying it for him and then acting confused

[pure garnet]

i know people snapped their linmon in half and saw they overpaid for honeycomb cardboard

[shell void]

@pure garnet your future monitor https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nXcz-52ZtXc

[vestal granite]

i like a good door

[shell void]

glossy 4th gen w-oled

[pure garnet]

i am not remembering that social security number model name

[neat shuttle]

I love that face😂

[vestal granite]

i also like a good baseboard, lot of places dont have good baseboards

[pure garnet]

i saw an oled monitor the other day and it honestly didn’t impress me a ton

but i also didn’t sit down and stare at it because i was holding a printer box

[wraith steeple]

حياك الله ياخي

Anyway how's TC2?

[edgy laurel]

cause monitors suck, and probably uncalibrated SDR

[topaz veldt]

shame its only in Ant size

[shell void]

yeah it is annoying

bigger 2160p panel next year apparently

[pure garnet]

i don’t think any of the games i play have working hdr

or hdr support at all

[vestal granite]

good

[pure garnet]

ffxiv doesn’t have hdr and destiny 2 has broken hdr last i knew

[topaz veldt]

yeah the G9 OLED in Micro Center did nothing for me, but my 321URX's are money

[pure garnet]

destiny 2 also has a bug where it’ll freeze after some random amount of frames so i have to reboot it after like 5 hours if i leave it open

[shell void]

these new 4th gen woled monitors are awesome for SDR

[pure garnet]

i’m going tomorrow so i’ll get the model number of the one i saw

[shell void]

theyre doing like 335-385nits fullscreen in SDR depending on the model

[topaz veldt]

@edgy laurel have you seen the Cleetus vid today

[pure garnet]

i run my phone at like 40% brightness

[steel stream]

what is this, a monitor for ants!

[pure garnet]

it’s the only oled panel i have of note

[steel stream]

I actually quite like D2 HDR

[pure garnet]

maybe they fixed it

i know borderless is broken atm

[edgy laurel]

turbine stuff, yeah. also saw on reddit he just competed in some big offshore powerboat event, something turbine powered

[steel stream]

Sunshot really sings in D2 HDR

[edgy laurel]

so there will be a video on that soon

[fleet marsh]

Anyone recommend a solid gaming headset with a good mic ? i play mmo and survival games so something with some decent bass/highs

[pure garnet]

i don’t keep up with the patch notes because i’m not into the game enough atm

[fringe vigil]

[vestal granite]

what kind of interior doorknobs do yall use

[pure garnet]

i like the one with the handles

[edgy laurel]

https://www.rtings.com/headphones/reviews/best/by-usage/gaming
https://www.rtings.com/headphones/reviews/best/wireless-gaming-headsets

[neat shuttle]

I just kick them down /j

[vestal granite]

yeah the circle ones without handles i dont like in some spots, like a bathroom should have a handled doorknob i think not a circular one because what if my hands are wet from washing my hands as I so often do and then i gotta open the door for whatever reason then i cant open it so easily

[pure garnet]

yeah being able to elbow it is a major benefit

[neat shuttle]

I can open a round door knob with my elbow it only hurts a little or alot sometimes

[vestal granite]

it can be done but its not fun

[steel stream]

ok I am running into 50 series issues

[edgy laurel]

[teal orbit]

do you have an HDR monitor, I found some nice pictures last night https://lightroom.adobe.com/shares/113ab046f0d04b40aa7f8e10285961a7

[merry stirrup]

then its board, playing with resistances will likely get you somewhere

[pure garnet]

i have an “hdr” monitor rn

[teal orbit]

Since these images, the base level isn't jacked way up above SDR so you can actually see what the HDR effect means

[pure garnet]

no 70ti today L

monday IG, shoulda just got ground shipping

minor losses its aight

[civic reef]

Are there any downsides of getting a 2242 NVMe over a 2280

[merry stirrup]

compatibility

but that applies both ways

not all boards will have standoffs for tiny drives

[civic reef]

I know, but actual downsides, rather than sizes

[steel stream]

https://tenor.com/view/darth-vader-no-noooo-gif-7347380959994097336

[merry stirrup]

not speeds thing

[tropic idol]

Is a 2070 super for 150 bucks a worthwhile pick up?

[merry stirrup]

compatibility as in "will it fit and install"

[merry stirrup]

not really, spend 50$ more for a 3060 or 3060ti

[spiral quarry]

USPS, FedEx?

[merry stirrup]

UPS

[wise bear]

dhl

[tropic idol]

You do realise a 2070 super falls in between those cards in terms of performance?

[civic reef]

I may have written speeds instead of sizes

[spiral quarry]

Ah I pray they don’t yeet the box

[merry stirrup]

yep and has its own downsides

[teal orbit]

Nothing really. It's just a physical size design thing pretty much

[shell void]

if only i had dimmfit to do that for me

[tropic idol]

3060 ti is 220 where I live, still got 8gbs of vram like the 2070 super. Also it's maybe only around 10% faster for nearly 50% extra price

[shell void]

i’ll have to buy a Z990 Apex next gen, there’s really no other option

[merry stirrup]

someone on hwbot or ocn thread can likely give you resistances to play/start out with

[civic reef]

@merry stirrup Okay so the motherboard I had in mind don't have a 2242 slot... Would it be okay to just keep it hanging there? - Or duct tape it down?

[merry stirrup]

both of those are annoying

what is the price difference between a 2242 and a 2280

[civic reef]

Errrr
Around 30 dollars

[merry stirrup]

wtaf

[wise bear]

what

[merry stirrup]

buy sata at that point

[civic reef]

Addlink S90 Gen 4, 512GB, 50 dollars post tax

Micron 2500, gen 4, 512GB 2242, 22.2 dollars

[merry stirrup]

both new?

[civic reef]

Yes

[wise bear]

get a 2242 to 2280 carrier board?

[civic reef]

Unfortunately the only sort of adapter is available on amazon

[merry stirrup]

probably not worth it iin his area

[civic reef]

And.. That either means 50 minimum in shipping, or not available entirely

[merry stirrup]

then i mean get the cheaper one but

yeesh

[merry stirrup]

taping it down is probably fine

ive done it before but definitely not without minor problems throughout my duration of owning computer

[civic reef]

Yeah tbf I could be putting the extra 28 to something more important

[merry stirrup]

careful when shaking or moving your pc esp if its untaped it might come loose and not boot and then youll freak out for an hour trying to fix it and then you realise that you just needed to plug it in more

[civic reef]

I am eventually going to either put it into an enclosure or retire it to a PCIe adapter card

[turbid locust]

floppa we should sue UPS

[merry stirrup]

lowkey my fault for not reading any fine print but tbf the lady i was talking to at work literally worked at UPS before this

[vestal granite]

i had a UPS driver throw a package for the first time ever

[civic reef]

Okay correction

The 2280 drive is 42 dollars

NOT 50

[merry stirrup]

so its a 10$ difference

[civic reef]

So it's around 20 dollars in different

[merry stirrup]

oh my bad

[civic reef]

22.2 vs 42

[merry stirrup]

yeah yeah yeah still not worth it

[merry stirrup]

yeah i did some dyslexia momenent

i swapped the 42$ for the 80 in the 2280 and read it as 2242 is 40$

[civic reef]

I think for the extra 22 dollars I can get a better board lmao

[civic reef]

Yeah fair enough

[wise bear]

its only 4:30 i dont wanna be eepy 😭

[merry stirrup]

i just woke up lol

well like an hour and a half ago

[wise bear]

i woke up from a nap at 3

[vestal granite]

i napped earlier

[merry stirrup]

i dont get to sleep in unless on weekends so i take my time eeping away

[wise bear]

ive had a carefe of coffee and im still yawning like mad

[merry stirrup]

i just cracked a monster

in both senses

[topaz veldt]

i just got back from eating lobster tacos

[merry stirrup]

[vestal granite]

i dont get a full 8 hours i just do 4 hour cycles so occasionally it loops back around to a normal schedule for a day or two

[vestal granite]

what else was on them

[merry stirrup]

lobster

[topaz veldt]

i dunno i just focused on the lobster part

[wise bear]

blobster

[wise bear]

(crab is better tbh)

[merry stirrup]

i get 3-5 hours on week days and however many i feel like on weekends

[neat shuttle]

Oh my gosh look tasty

[vestal granite]

looks like the marketing material for taco bell's tacos and not what taco bell tacos actually look like

[topaz veldt]

dont get lobster at taco bell

[wise bear]

the roasted corn though yesssss

[fringe vigil]

yummy

[merry stirrup]

its too damn hot

im going to peytons house and taking the aircon for myself

fuck you peyt you dont need it

[vestal granite]

i ate a salad earlier i freeze the plate before putting salad on it so it stays cold pro tip

[civic reef]

Okay the better board within the general 20 dollar range is a prime B650-Plus

[wise bear]

noo i need my aircon 😭

[neat shuttle]

I love air conditioning

[merry stirrup]

nope nope nope

[civic reef]

Which is definitely a big win considering it's not a B650M-B

[topaz veldt]

was 78F outside and breezy over dinner

[wise bear]

my house is currently 70f and its near 100 outside its so wonderful

[civic reef]

It's currently 2:40 AM

[merry stirrup]

its like 100rn yea

[vestal granite]

its been rainin all day so its 100 but my home is still chilly

[merry stirrup]

was thinking of watering the house or something

[neat shuttle]

Whats the coolest temp you have been in in the summer

[merry stirrup]

but its really only the upstairs thats like uncomfortable

[civic reef]

Currently 28° C, 84° F

It only gets this cold at night

[wise bear]

yeah im really glad I don't have a multi-story house

[civic reef]

That's when I can keep the fans on level 1

[topaz veldt]

@edgy laurel watching some dudes walk thru at some Cars and Coffee and he's all about this old foxbody, walks past a GMC Syclone and is like "Ah, GMC, nice." and keeps walking

[merry stirrup]

LOVE THE SYCLONE

[topaz veldt]

like dude had no idea

[merry stirrup]

man if only he knew

[neat shuttle]

Would be a tall tail

[topaz veldt]

not sure if floppa is trollin

[wise bear]

huh

[civic reef]

-OKAY so it has 2x M.2 slots (both support 2242) and the primary one is 5.0

[merry stirrup]

no i actually do like the syclone

[topaz veldt]

believe it or not, the rich kid high school i went to.... one of the kids had a GMC Typhoon

[wise bear]

Do you want me to box up some refrigerated air and ship it to your house

[civic reef]

AND it has a BIOS Flashback button yay

[merry stirrup]

4.2 second zero to 60 or something

[merry stirrup]

yooo

never seen one

very cool

[topaz veldt]

pretty sweet - I like the typhoon over syclone

basically an SUV grand national

[merry stirrup]

its a cooler car

[merry stirrup]

yeah

[wise bear]

typhoon is cooler than the mirage

[merry stirrup]

everything is cooler than the mirage

[wise bear]

yeah but the mirage can do flippy-dips and has matras

[turbid locust]

Alright. To 6000MTs EXPO i go. I want to play games now lol

[topaz veldt]

I drained my air compressor today.... lets just say, I was passed-due

[merry stirrup]

lol

[wise bear]

ewww was it all gooey

[merry stirrup]

i was out in the shop on friday and i blew out all the computers for the first time

[topaz veldt]

it was... like... a half gallon of rusty water

[wise bear]

g r o s s

[merry stirrup]

and oh my god. oh my god. ive never seen thicker layers of dust on functoinal computers

[topaz veldt]

all that bead blasting and powder coating

[merry stirrup]

literally the slot part of a pcie slot was ENTIRELY full of dust

not like a lil coaitng no the slot was full to the brim with dust

started sneezing

[wise bear]

I think the dirtiest pcs that I see are the ones in old dudes' garage shops

[merry stirrup]

yeah now x20 that and thats the shop

[topaz veldt]

yeaht he pc i used to have hooked up to my cnc mill was horrendous

[wise bear]

oh god nty

[merry stirrup]

we do a lot of wood working, sawdust everywhere

we ONLY do wood working if that makes it better

theres nothing but saw dust and grossness in there

[topaz veldt]

yah - cutting fluid/oil/water + aluminum dust + PC

[wise bear]

oh boy vacuum it all up and light it on fire while blowing it out of a leafblower

[merry stirrup]

yeah i blew out the cnc computer (on a pentium based computer btw)

literally had to wear safety goggles

[topaz veldt]

mine was like a p4 lol

[merry stirrup]

hurt my eyes so bad

[merry stirrup]

this is some like 1155 dell vostro or something

oldest computer we have in use for sure

[turbid locust]

why tf can I next-day a single P12 Pro but not a 5 pack

[topaz veldt]

I want to say mine was a Dell 755 or something

[merry stirrup]

it was all so bad

even the ones in the offices in the shop were bad

[shell void]

you dont daily your OCs?

[merry stirrup]

its not validated

[turbid locust]

Not when it's not stress tested yet

[merry stirrup]

new board im sure hed rather not stress test for 16 hours before using it

[wise bear]

back in HS the woodshop took the old floor water drains and turned it into the vacuum points for the shop dust system- their cnc system had it's own computer, like an amd geode or something

eerily enough the zcorp resin-powder 3d printer had nearly identical hardware to the woodshop cnc

[merry stirrup]

i run a very basic mem tune day 2 day

at least since moving to the mpower

[topaz veldt]

I run 8000 CL32 daily

1.6 vdimm

[merry stirrup]

i think i may take my rig to the gfs house and oc it there since thats a like 5 day period that im not working

[turbid locust]

Besides I only did like 3.5 hours of karhu at 8000. It could very well not even be actually stable.

[shell void]

i daily my aggressive tunes but i run ycruncher and/or karhu alongside furmark for 12+ hours for sanity

[merry stirrup]

she gets a 3080 this week lets GOOOO

[turbid locust]

I dont see how this is stable but

[topaz veldt]

like a rock, baby

[wise bear]

The only running I do is running out of coffee & water

[merry stirrup]

will do well for any gaming

[turbid locust]

because I was just failing 8000c34 at 1.65

[merry stirrup]

you should oc ur ram for funsies

dont you have a 10850k youd actually see gains

[topaz veldt]

you aint on 6000 CL26ers

[wise bear]

i doooo have gskill now

[turbid locust]

I am lmao

[merry stirrup]

well what IC

[shell void]

i should absolutely jack vdd up from 1.43 to 1.60 just to run lower tCL

[topaz veldt]

well you ain't on Apex 💪

[merry stirrup]

or XMP bin

[wise bear]

this kit
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0171GQNH4

[turbid locust]

you're right im on china apex lmao

[civic reef]

@merry stirrup Okay errrr there's two options, same price
Open box Samsung PM6B1
New Micron 2500
Both $20 pre tax, M.2 2242, 512GB, PCIe 4x4

[merry stirrup]

& boarb?

[merry stirrup]

pm6b1 is definitely an OEM drive of sorts, either enterprise/workstation or just actually OEM

[wise bear]

msi z490-a pro

[topaz veldt]

er'day

[merry stirrup]

usually said drives have HALF the write speeds of their consumer counterparts

which, on an NVME drive isnt slow, but something to consider

[civic reef]

.... Yeah, I'll just get the Micron 2500

[turbid locust]

respect

[civic reef]

Tbf I am upgrading from a 2008 Dell enterprise hard drive and a HikVision SSD (glorified HDD)

[merry stirrup]

can u test scl performance or sumn

[topaz veldt]

WHAT YOU WANT

[civic reef]

Even a Gen 2 Drive will be exponentially faster than what I have

[merry stirrup]

i only have one am5 cpu at my disposal

[merry stirrup]

see if 6/6 or lower like 1/8 or 2/8 or 1/1 is faster than 8/8

[vestal granite]

i love pcie gen 2 nvme m.2 drives

[merry stirrup]

i see people running 6/6 a lot and 1/8

[topaz veldt]

I think I had to settle here for 24/7

[merry stirrup]

i just refuse to believe 1/8 is performance

[merry stirrup]

noted

i have some samsung dimms so bad they cant do 8/8

has to do like 8/10 or 8/12

[wise bear]

what settings do you think I need to do 3600

[civic reef]

It's like the RTX 20 series
Now, pretty "lackluster" in performance, but curious little pieces of technology that were the stepping stone to what we have today

[merry stirrup]

3600 16-20-20-36 1.45v dram

[topaz veldt]

I spent a bunch of time getting trfc down to 120ns and then bumped it a hair for sure fire reliability

[merry stirrup]

can u show me cpu-z SPD and mem tab
