so 5070 ?

[turbid locust]

https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/geforce-rtx-3070.c3674 relative performance chart here

5070 is 44% faster

9070 non XT would be cool if open to AMD

[topaz veldt]

@shell void qd-oled laughing all the way to the bank

[turbid locust]

that shits purple

[topaz veldt]

Lol it's like neon purple

[merry stirrup]

my monitors not purple so i must not have whatever that is

[fleet marsh]

i am. was trying to stay at the $500 range

[topaz veldt]

That's the new tandem OLED

[turbid locust]

9070 is almost the same price as 5070

[fleet marsh]

ok i didnt check bestbuy lol. cheapest 5070 i found was 499

[fleet marsh]

its sold out !

[turbid locust]

oh lmao awesome thanks google

says in stock on google results... lol

[fleet marsh]

if it was instock i would of gotten it lol.

[edgy laurel]

Game over. Other mainstream chip brands can give up.

[turbid locust]

[hoary hatch]

FLOPPA

How the fuck did I fix it

@merry stirrup

So after cleaning, only one 8 pin was showing up

I was getting like 35W
Then about 20 seconds after I switched heaven to 1440p, 8-pin #1 showed up and both ramped to 100W

[shell void]

😻

it is so unfair that the 2160p monitor panels wont be ready this year

[merry stirrup]

LOL lets go

[shell void]

aint nobody care about 27" 1440p man that's a baby monitor

[hoary hatch]

Oh no

Where did my SLI bridge go

Casual 350w in furmark with possibly melted connectors let's go

[shell void]

that is so optimal brother

[merry stirrup]

its absolutely cooking now

it just works absolutely nothing wrong with this (its going to DETONATE)

i feel like his psu probably was the cause though

[turbid locust]

I suppose I should update my HDV bios so my 9800X3D doesnt explode

[fringe vigil]

snail

[hoary hatch]

no idea man

[turbid locust]

two months old but what cpus are coming?

[hoary hatch]

uhhh
i have 850W gold PSU

and 2x pig tail 8-pins

i am cooked

If I want to SLI it would be smartest to use my HX850i platinum with 4 independent 8-pins

can I do 12v high failure rate to 8 pin

is that a thing

also i should power limit both of these huh

[merry stirrup]

im saying his was shit like tier d type shit

[hoary hatch]

i meant for SLI

[merry stirrup]

oh damn

yeah i wouldnt 💀

[hoary hatch]

dual 1080ti and 3800x

[hoary hatch]

this is why I bought it

[merry stirrup]

probably works but

[merry stirrup]

oh

i think its worth it then

[hoary hatch]

oh it is just to experience SLI with my own eyes

$40 to try out SLI

[merry stirrup]

not bad

[hoary hatch]

but I should ideally tear down and clean both of these cards

however, meh

[turbid locust]

I had to fully teardown and scrub my marketplace gtx 1080 with a toothbrush and soap

it was caked with dust, hair, and cigarette tar

[shell void]

9700F and 9500F

[turbid locust]

ah

[shell void]

underclocked 9700X & 9600X without iGPUs

[hoary hatch]

yeah you couldn't pay to clean something with the third one

or at least a 1080

[shell void]

come on AMD $125 9500F

get people to finally leave am4

[turbid locust]

lol

[hoary hatch]

They won't

The AM4 glazers be like "5700x3d is the last CPU I ever need"

[merry stirrup]

deadass

[lunar mesa]

should i make a sleeper build with this

[hoary hatch]

Glorious case but I've heard it's not super "standard PC part" friendly

[shell void]

did you get to 24H?

[hoary hatch]

Put that in a laptop

[merry stirrup]

meow

[shell void]

has there ever been a laptop with a HEDT cpu in it?

[merry stirrup]

yes

workstation x79 laptop

[shell void]

oh i see

we used to have cool things

[merry stirrup]

knew someone who dailied it

[hoary hatch]

Some 1950x models

[merry stirrup]

also true

[shell void]

i would unironically take x79 over x399

overclocked 1680 v2 will be faster than a 1950x for 99% of what i do

[merry stirrup]

this one is a fat desktop imo tho

[shell void]

why did they bother making the keyboard so skinny when it was never going to be a thin device

i need a 3u rack mount monitor

[topaz veldt]

I think I held X58 for so long, and then I did a Z170 build

[shell void]

did you lost interest in HEDT after X58?

[lethal crypt]

Why does my apps clip into itself like i open discord and when i scholl i see the same message clipped into the new ones is it a ram thing or?

[edgy laurel]

the going to school and then starting a family gap

[lethal crypt]

Anyone?

[topaz veldt]

Was HEDT even X58?

[edgy laurel]

it was the start, but at the time it was just "normal"

[topaz veldt]

yeah I thought it was just i7 biggest (lol) CPU at the time

[edgy laurel]

i7-920 was just the thing to buy

[shell void]

yeah the 6 core extreme i7s were hedt

[hoary hatch]

Part of me still wants to buy broadwell Xeons

[topaz veldt]

yeah and my setup on 920 went to like... 4.4 GHz or higher, it last me so long

[hoary hatch]

But the rest of me understands power consumption

[shell void]

they barely use any power bro

that was back when intel eco tuned everything because amd didnt exist so they didnt need to ego clock

[topaz veldt]

Back when we'd run full boost all the time

[fringe vigil]

good game, dissapointing ending

[hoary hatch]

I lied I apparently have heard of it

[fringe vigil]

controversial

when it first came out i never felt my gpu so hot before

[hoary hatch]

I'm still playing through HZD

God damn it's so pretty

[edgy laurel]

enjoy it, FW is not that good

ZD is fantastic

[hoary hatch]

But I haven't used the HDR mode
I really hate how they have you set up HDR

[hoary hatch]

This is my second HZD playthrough but first on pc

[fringe vigil]

i still need to play HZD 1

[hoary hatch]

Yeah 100fps feels better than ps4

Who would have guessed

Also frozen wilds (dlc) is fun, I didn't buy that on PlayStation

[hoary hatch]

Nooooo

I'm still gonna buy it on steam autumn sale

But sad :(

[edgy laurel]

I may go back and finish it, just feels large and tedious

[hoary hatch]

I saw a reddit post that you can mount a flying machine

I wonder what the flight mechanics are like

[fringe vigil]

whats happened to her face

[edgy laurel]

I bet if I got that far, it would feel better

[hoary hatch]

Tedious is either something I really hate or reallyove

[thick frost]

yummy paint

[hoary hatch]

In HZD I got to meridian then immediately stopped the main story to knock off all the side missions and upgrade my stuff

[edgy laurel]

this is the way

[fringe vigil]

shes abit chubby now

[hoary hatch]

Actually for the main story my next mission is "no going back"
So I'm taking a break to knock out the DLC

[edgy laurel]

jorj..

[thick frost]

from all the yummy paint

[hoary hatch]

Dude the DLC machines are fucking tough

[fringe vigil]

what does that even mean lol

[hoary hatch]

Like thunder jaws aren't exactly a challenge

[thick frost]

paint muncher

[hoary hatch]

But everything in the frozen wilds is beating my ass

[edgy laurel]

HZD was one of the first, if not the first games where the big monster fights felt like cinematic Michael Bay films. The animations, the effects.. just out of this world

[edgy laurel]

thats a shitty modifed image, get off reddit

[hoary hatch]

It's soooooo good

[hoary hatch]

Is this not just the updated engine rendering

James Charles filter type shi

[hoary hatch]

The one on the right is so much better
She has pores
My god we've developed pore technology

More hair

[edgy laurel]

no, its someone's shitty ragebait from the release where people were upset Aloy wasn't as "hot".

[frank cypress]

noooo the pores have been there for a long time

its just that texture resolution has ballooned in the past few years

so you can see it a lot more clearly now

[edgy laurel]

its modified, her face doesn't look like that

[hoary hatch]

I saw some side by side of HZD vs the remaster and the remaster is so much better looking but I cannot justify buying the remaster at full price when original is in my family library

[frank cypress]

im more interested in the vellus hairs

im really curious how they got that shi going for a real time game

I wonder if thats just a lot of hair cards or smth

[hoary hatch]

I think I have 4 weeks before the autumn sale

Sad

[frank cypress]

the reddit rage when aloy has peach fuzz

"she has a beard!!!!!"

naw dude thats just vellus hair, we all have that lol

[edgy laurel]

it was just sad

[vestal granite]

internet when women have hair

[shell void]

twitter when any female video game character isnt built like jessica rabbit

[hoary hatch]

I do have a complaint about HZD
Day/night cycle is too quick and night cycle feels annoyingly long

[vestal granite]

i hate nighttime in video games

[hoary hatch]

Like lights look prettier in night cycle but it's just so much more annoying to see things

[frank cypress]

ill never stop laughing at this image

[vestal granite]

i dont have an OLED, please stop making me need an OLED to play your video game thank you

[shell void]

the right image looks so bad

[edgy laurel]

what you know in video games as "night" is funny. Come play DayZ, it'll show you what real night time is.

[fringe vigil]

game

[vestal granite]

rust has nighttime

[frank cypress]

right?

[edgy laurel]

this is disgusting

[hoary hatch]

I'm good I hate zombies

[fringe vigil]

https://tenor.com/view/triss-merigold-gif-19096045

[vestal granite]

games like rust and dayz with the pitch black night-time arent realistic either because moon should illuminate at 5-10% of sunlight

[edgy laurel]

189k people liked that post. we're so fucked.

[fringe vigil]

she is so fine

[vestal granite]

189k like dthe post laughing at the other post

[frank cypress]

god there's this dayz clip that never fails to make me laugh
https://youtube.com/shorts/cmss9jVLKks?si=hxtjDlt19v-xPPmA

[vestal granite]

but we are fucked

[edgy laurel]

i'd say #teamtriss but you haven't even played it

[fringe vigil]

the other girl is not as good

yenefer

[frank cypress]

the feral noises he makes is so funny

[vestal granite]

what if shes smart and ambitious

[edgy laurel]

lmao, i could totally see that happening

[frank cypress]

the other guy realizing he's been had

actual fucking cinema

[topaz veldt]

the frame rates suck

[edgy laurel]

ngl, my recent playthrough I kinda fucked up romancing Triss. I missed something, though reading it back I don't really understand how. Oh well, there is always next time.

[fringe vigil]

only some parts but runs fine otherwise

[hoary hatch]

I wouldn't be surprised if you can only fly something after beating the last cauldron on HFW

[topaz veldt]

eh - on epic its like 75 fps on my shit

[hoary hatch]

But I can try speed running flight if that's the motivation you need to finish the game

[edgy laurel]

I can't imagine you need to get that far. I think my save I left off having to travel pretty far to continue the story and there were so many distractions on the way...

[low sorrel]

is anno 1800 any good

[edgy laurel]

the people that like it seem to really enjoy it

[steel stream]

damn

[hoary hatch]

This card is still acting funky

[shell void]

that is maximum aura

[hoary hatch]

Maybe I should reflash the vbios

Oh it coil whines

Damn coil whine sucks

@merry stirrup in a game and 3d mark I am stuck at 35w

Wait ROTR kicked up to 225W

Okay this is funky it needs time for full power to kick in

3d mark isn't long enough to kick in full power maybe

[zenith fog]

Anyone know why whenever my 5700x3d hits 90c my pc shuts off

[pure garnet]

sounds like prochot safety shutdowns

[zenith fog]

I thought tjmax was higher

Nvm I guess it’s 90

Well probably time for a new cooler then

[edgy laurel]

you'd need to get quite a bit hotter than 90c for the PC to compeltely shutdown, thats incredibly uncommon if you have a normal cooler attached

[shell void]

what cooler u rockin?

[zenith fog]

Axp90-53

[shell void]

are you in a super small form factor case?

[zenith fog]

Hwinfo64 said 90 then the fans went to 100 and black screen

[zenith fog]

Open frame

[pure garnet]

it sounds to me like it’s overheating and powering off

[zenith fog]

Well yeah lol

[edgy laurel]

Doesn't to me. Hitting 90c won't do that.

[zenith fog]

Tjmax is 90

[edgy laurel]

tjmax isn't thermal shutdown

90c is where throttling starts, and heavy throttling

[zenith fog]

Well whenever it hits that it shuts down so idk

[pure garnet]

there might be an option for a limit in the bios

i know on my intel board i could configure the shut off point

[turbid locust]

have we considered a remount

[shell void]

thermalright phantom spirit with a single middle fan will look nice on your open frame case

and will be able to cool any consumer cpu at official spec

[edgy laurel]

open frame case though? just get something bigger, and make sure to properly mount it

[shell void]

phantom spirit is the best performing $30-35 air cooler xd

you can get a nhd15 g2 if you want but itll only be single digits better at most

[turbid locust]

I still want a Thermaltake P3 Pro

[shell void]

yeah you can use pretty much whatever air cooler you want on that

default recommendation is thermalright phantom spirit

[pure garnet]

you more gpu than motherboard there

[zenith fog]

7900xtx red devil

[shell void]

it's optimal

ideal config

i would love to see someone actually use their pc like that

with the psu just chilling on the desk

[devout ridge]

more pcb in the gpu than the mobo

probably more pcb in an atx psu too

[shell void]

i think it'll be a pretty similar amount

[edgy laurel]

quick google, AXP-90 is plenty sufficient for 5700x3D stock, even more so with tuning. Probably just not mounted right.

or you don't have A/C

[shell void]

even in a hot room the cpu should just throttle

ive only had total shutoffs while overclocking my 14900K to the limit and running benchmarks with realtime process priority

[edgy laurel]

ya still change it cause you got the room but might wanna think about why its happening wtih the cooler you got

since it shouldn't

[devout ridge]

depending on the psu they may use a stacked PCB design

oh gpu

[zenith fog]

My room was 72

[devout ridge]

as long as it’s a single pcb model, it’ll have more than the mobo

[zenith fog]

Usually it’s a bit cooler so that’s probably why

[edgy laurel]

you have to really push things past thermal limits to trigger a thermal shutdown. like.. 110+ from the few reports out there (its not a common thing)

[devout ridge]

if it’s split up like the FE design, it’s probably comparable

[zenith fog]

Maybe I’ll just re mount

[edgy laurel]

last resort attempt to save the chip

[shell void]

i think my shutoffs were instability related instead of thermals

i ran the 14900K at 115c on all cores a few times for benchmarks with the nhd15 xddd

[edgy laurel]

lmao

i'm sure it loved that

[shell void]

it's optimal

it probably doesnt matter at all because the voltage wasnt high

[edgy laurel]

ya as long as the voltage was under control

[hoary hatch]

I fucked up bad

[zenith fog]

I’ll remount and re paste and see if that helps

[edgy laurel]

AXP-90 on a 9800x3D in an Dan A4 SFX https://pcpartpicker.com/b/2bXypg

of course, limited (no) actual testing data

[shell void]

ive never held a mitx board irl and they look so goofily small to me in photos

i kinda want one just to see

[edgy laurel]

I've only got one left, sold/given away 2

[topaz veldt]

It's smaller than you think. With an SFF PSU it's kind of hilarious

[shell void]

i am just now remembering that my enthoo pro 2 (my main case) is a dual system case

i could get a z790 mitx board and put the 14900k in this case alongside my 9800x3d xd

[edgy laurel]

this sounds like an optimal plan

no additional case to buy

[shell void]

it would be so cute

[turbid locust]

holy gpu sag

[shell void]

yeah looking at that photo gives me perspective of how small the boards are because it's my case

that is quite goofy

[turbid locust]

I think I could only justify itx in my A3

any other case I own would just be silly

I’m considering swapping back to my A3 but I think the 5090 would cook tf out of my ram in that case

[edgy laurel]

worked out nicely with O11 Mini, being able to run it super low and have zero top mount rad/fan interference was nice.

[topaz veldt]

I have a pic of my itx mobo in a fractal north its hilarious

[shell void]

no i cant

if i get 8000+ working on the 14900k and itx board then ill just be mad and wish i bought a used apex or something instead

because ill wanna daily it

[edgy laurel]

it calls you

i'm a baby apex it says

heed my call

[shell void]

what is this jawn

[edgy laurel]

oh that board comes with the Hive

[shell void]

you know it's a scuffed form factor when they include accessories to get basic features back

mATX>>>>>>

[edgy laurel]

well, ITX boards aren't really scuffed, quite the opposite. They just have to do things differently on the high end models to physically fit all the features you want in such a small space

in the case of Asus, they even have some of those features on a wired control module called the Hive, that even acts as a headphones amp/DAC.

First seen on X670E-I Strix

biggest miss is no 7-segment display, just diag LED's on it

[shell void]

what a bunch of HOOPLA

mITX strays too far from God

[edgy laurel]

but its coooooool

[turbid locust]

mATX is just… optimal

has plenty features and whatnot, while being significantly smaller than ATX

[shell void]

yeah it's the ideal form factor for consumer platforms

it blows my mind that mATX 1dpc isnt the default

[turbid locust]

yup literally slap an extra m.2 next to the ram slots goobers

1dpc mATX board with 3 M.2 slots, plenty fan headers, and good IO… the dream

[wraith steeple]

How are those Antec fans?

[edgy laurel]

i don't think thats his system

X670E Taichi tho

❤️

[humble relic]

can someone explain to me what a smart card is i have had this laptop since march and i have never actually know what its used for and what it can be used for. could i just use my debit card. my laptop is a hp elitebook 840 g5 32gb ram and a i5

[frank cypress]

matx is the superior form factor

matx and eatx for the lols

[edgy laurel]

dunno what you're talking about

[wraith steeple]

ah. Those were what came with my Performance 1 FT

[humble relic]

neither do i tbh wait ill send a pic

[frank cypress]

bass i need your wisdom for a bit

[wraith steeple]

yes?

[frank cypress]

is there a good way to take out the gpu amd make the loop cpu only

[edgy laurel]

no picture needed, I have functional Google skills. Further googling reveals its a business/enterprise security device

[frank cypress]

I feel like i should be responsible and completely drain it but im lazy

[edgy laurel]

Where the company would distribute "smart cards" that you'd use to login to the PC.

pretty easy info to find

[humble relic]

that sounds cool

[humble relic]

i did some googling i just couldnt get my head around it tbh its like 4am in the uk and im bored and tired

[wraith steeple]

yeh you can have those GPU inlet/outlets be connected (on the distro plate) to have it be a bypass

here's a pic online for for reference

[shell void]

that cpu block is pretty

[frank cypress]

sounds good to me

[frank cypress]

ek remains undefeated in the aesthetics department

[shell void]

this looks goofy

[frank cypress]

its what I gotta do

[wraith steeple]

It does though the one I posted was more for visual sake lol

oops wrong reply

[frank cypress]

ye I get what u mean

I think i can use 2x 90 degree adapters and my sli thingie

it might just about fit

[hoary hatch]

Smoker?

[shell void]

doodoo

[wraith steeple]

Oh, those aqua link pipe/telescopic fittings? then yeah you're golden

Was about to say since I do recall you having SLI running and saw (or at least vaguely recall) having those on hand

[hoary hatch]

I just got muted by the Intel discord

Did their filter not like the word "smoker" or was it for uploading 8 images at once

[wraith steeple]

I love how my first day on Intel Discord was someone redirecting to ZTT discord and someone's car being lit ablaze

Talk about a good first impression

[hoary hatch]

honestly it's not great most of the time

[wraith steeple]

Yeah I'm only there for the Intel driver updates TBH

or announcements in general

Same with AMD and Nvidia server

Also left PPCs discord due to how dead it is most of the time

3-4 people max active

[frank cypress]

yer

[frank cypress]

yeah i had one to link the cards together

[slim pebble]

Probably the latter, thought you were spamming Ads or something

[hoary hatch]

Welp

If they're gonna have auto bot, the least they could do is have it DM me why I was timed out

So that I don't accidentally do the same thing again ya know

you might as well get the 5070ti which is usually around 1.1k cad

[nova trout]

Man I can’t play games without pc random reboot

in europe it can make way more sense as its closer to the 5070 in price at best but just no in america its so close in price

sneaky 9070xt in the pocket

the cheapest 9070xts for me are 780usd. is that good?

sorry 735us*

[nova trout]

There’s one on Newegg for 750

[oak vector]

I'm australian, we do not have newegg

[low sorrel]

Look at can comp

[nova trout]

I assumed you’re in the US because it said “usd”

[oak vector]

I'm just asking if prices are relatively alright. cheapest 9070xt here is 733usd, or about 1129 AUD.

[brisk jolt]

senator im singaporean

no

[oak vector]

I always convert to usd because well, everyone else uses usd

[nova trout]

Do you deny having ties with the china communist party ?

[oak vector]

about 10% cheaper than me 😔

[nova trout]

What if newegg ships internationally

They don’t

[low sorrel]

To be fair

China does have lots of influence in Singapore

[oak vector]

should I buy a 9070xt for 733usd, or a 5070 for 577usd? (or a 5070ti for 900usd)

[brisk jolt]

you should buy a 5090 for 2200 usd

[nova trout]

China has influence everywhere

if you have the money for a 9070 xt but not 5070 ti then like yea

[nova trout]

After the brain rot amd driver issues for 6 years I went through I don’t recommend getting amd GPUs
What I do recommend for gaming is
Amd cpu nvideo gpu

True but it's more focused in Singapore due to its location near trading routes, promixity and large Han Chinese population

hmmmmm
I'm just having a look around, obvs it's all speculated, but I might just wait for 50 series refreshes honestly .

if I could get a 70ti super for somewhat msrp, I might do that.

if not, 5070 super

[brisk jolt]

are u the 4060ti 8g guy

Getting 8gb vram cards in 2025 is bad business

I remember floppa as intel and memory expert

I remember him as 1080ti ftw3, I didn't know he had a 5070ti honestly

[brisk jolt]

wow i didnt know that was a warship censor

he has a 1080ti on standby and a 5070ti in use no

[nova trout]

Warship is extra cringe sometimes

[brisk jolt]

its the same for irl

[oak vector]

idk my experience has been fine honestly.
1440p now, somewhat questionable, but 1080p it's fine for me

[brisk jolt]

i remember friends based off what they primarily do for shit like hobbies

[oak vector]

yeah I think

[nova trout]

In a few years you’re going to say different words

[oak vector]

idk i remember him as a prime shit poster for whatever reason.

[nova trout]

It’s in the name

[oak vector]

I'll be honest, the term "a few years" doesn't apply to me really, I upgrade too frequently.

[brisk jolt]

i remember you as 4060ti 8gb guy that refuses anything related to xx90

[nova trout]

In a few trump economic decisions you’re going to say different words about your frequent upgrading

Arctic have different models better than p12 just read about it a bit

i cant lie i already got the cpu

I learned that tip from a video I watched from the verge

had to get it when i was back in china it was cheaper 🥹

how much you pay

[nova trout]

[low sorrel]

not even a better deal icl

gulp

[low sorrel]

well i mean it's a good deal

but canada comp bundle is a better deal

ykwim

[fringe summit]

i dont

[low sorrel]

I mean you saved 50 bucks over buying a 9600x but you could saved 150 bucks with a 7600x mobo and 5060ti bundle

ohh i see

oh well too late for that

anyone knows a good brand

https://www.reddit.com/r/LinusTechTips/comments/18dt8m2/whats_the_best_surge_protector/

my pc just randomly rebooted without gaming for the first time usually only happens while gaming

could it be the NVME drive damaged after update KB5063878

[oak vector]

is it a good deal?

[nova trout]

idk man

[indigo tree]

If you want the best surge protection, get a fully isolated one. Like the ones at hospitals. There is never a complete link between the house working and the outlets it provides. By relying wholly on the batteries for power even when power is present

[oak vector]

that way should the power fail, theoretically 0 downtime, or no switch over delay or whatever.

[nova trout]

can you name a brand

can you tell if there's any damage from this

[brisk jolt]

china-

[indigo tree]

I can name a brand. Doesn't mean it's good though

brands are important because pepsi and cocacola are not the same thing

[topaz veldt]

@shell void I forgot I left this running last night rofl. It was running 100% fine until I unlocked my PC. The CPU temp Q-Code was reading 65 so it was running, the act of unlocking the PC borked it up. 10.4 hours of VT3 lol.

[shell void]

we are doomed to suffer

i also failed at roughly 10 hours

[sharp heart]

so bitter lol

[turbid locust]

Feel like this is just AM5 sleep issues and not actual instability lmao

[topaz veldt]

Yeah, it was literally fans cranking and running until I logged back in

[turbid locust]

[fringe vigil]

ooo

[topaz veldt]

I think I'm ok with 10 hrs vt3lol

[turbid locust]

My cpu isn’t out for delivery yet so probably not arriving before work

i dont sleep or lock my pc while testing

i just turn the “monitor” off and walk away

[topaz veldt]

I have a gpo

@turbid locust all these new and novel VPN alternatives... call me old school but I trust things that have been around longer

[topaz veldt]

As they should

[wheat shore]

battle of the tts

that still sounds wrong

[turbid locust]

Right but they just seem convenient lmao. I found out my routers natively support VPN servers but only from like 3 services. So I don’t need to make a pfsense box which is nice.

[topaz veldt]

I would not make a pfsense firewall just for vpn

[turbid locust]

OpenVPN, PPTP, and IPsec

[topaz veldt]

You also do not need to run the VPN on the firewall/router

Yeah I use NordVPN which is OpenVPN

[turbid locust]

It’s just kinda confusing from a noob perspective

[topaz veldt]

yeah this is more like "VPN protocols"

@turbid locust are you trying to be able to VPN into your house? Or out of your house?

[turbid locust]

Every “here’s how to self host remote access vpn” video is using some cloud machine to host it and I’m like wtf

[topaz veldt]

right

[turbid locust]

the end goal is into my network lol

[topaz veldt]

Yeah then you can just setup an RA OpenVPN on your router.. or you can get a raspberry pi or VM and install OpenVPN server on that and let it route - you would just forward the openvpn port (1194)

[fringe vigil]

👋

[turbid locust]

Yeah i understand this concept but the details and whatnot about the setup and getting everything going is the confusing part

and seemingly everyone has a different implementation

Hi, I ran into some https://discord.com/channels/375436620578684930/1409232040208896273 booting trouble, but to keep it short, I think my main boot drive got corrupted by another old boot drive, and I'm wondering how to get into Windows and repair it.

the answer is probably still no but… lol send your lists

One second

[topaz veldt]

I am more concerned that this user is active enough to know that in 2025 we should not be humoring AM4

[turbid locust]

AM4 builds are still viable depending on price and budget

[civic reef]

It's mostly because AM4 has what I need, and the money saved can help in other things

[wise bear]

iirc she's got a real potato currently

[topaz veldt]

Its just a bad investment

[civic reef]

Not a COMPLETE potato, I have hyperthreaded cores now!!

[topaz veldt]

if you are saving $100 you are wasting hundreds

[civic reef]

I'll just send both lists

[turbid locust]

$100 is worth the additional performance and platform longevity

[topaz veldt]

Yeah

[turbid locust]

7500F is at least on par with 5700X3D iirc

[shell void]

even if you have to get an 8400F that would be preferable to investing in AM4

[turbid locust]

rip PCIe lanes

[topaz veldt]

Do anything to get an AM5 socket, it almost doesn't matter after that

[edgy laurel]

AM5 is long past the "odd new things with expensive RAM that we're not sure about yet" stage

[shell void]

also consider a 12400f and a ddr4 board or something if that’s cheaper than am5 where you live

anything but am4

[turbid locust]

yeah like 2 years past at least lol

@turbid locust @topaz veldt

[edgy laurel]

been making GPU's for over 20 years.. doing something right

[turbid locust]

AM5 is worth based on your lists @civic reef

[civic reef]

I don't have much needs for high power computation so AM4 works

[civic reef]

The main upside I can see is the bios flash lol

And PCIe 5.0, which I probably won't use at all (but I still like having it)

[pure garnet]

the main upside is you can drop in better cpus later

[turbid locust]

I mean just for the upgradability

4 years from now you decide you want more performance you can slap Zen 5 in for cheap

[edgy laurel]

6*

[turbid locust]

or 6 yeah

I can see the 9700F being the 3600 of AM5

[topaz veldt]

either way

the am5 is the only option

[civic reef]

Waiting a decade till a 7600X3D is like 100-200 dollars

[turbid locust]

Thing is, that 7500F will handle any gpu you throw at it unless you insist on staying on 1080p after you upgrade to a better gpu lol

[civic reef]

I was mostly thinking of AM4 just because the money saved could've gone into other stuff
But yeah AM5 brings way too many price saving opportunities

[shell void]

full tuned 9800x3d can barely handle cyberpunk with high crowd density so no

7500F was solid when it was obtainable at a good price tho

[civic reef]

1440p isn't TOO expensive that I can save it for it within a few years (alongside a good GPU)

hopefully 9500F is like $125-165 at MOST

[turbid locust]

7500F will handle any card up till like 7800XT perf at 1440p

[turbid locust]

1440p IPS panels are relatively attainable nowadays

[edgy laurel]

when 4090 and 5090 came out, that argument became much harder due to their insane performance jump

CPU's suddenly became not fast enough

[turbid locust]

well yeah but when you’re buying those GPUs, you aren’t buying 7500F’s lol

[edgy laurel]

ay

[civic reef]

How much are they where you are? Won't go off of amazon results since they're usually a bit overpriced

[turbid locust]

You can pretty regularly find them under 200 USD

[civic reef]

They're about... 200ish here post tax

I was thinking of upgrading to 1080p for the time being though

[brisk jolt]

tbh a 7500f at 4080 level isnt bad

[civic reef]

MSI MP251 E2

Around 90ish dollars, 120Hz, 24in

[turbid locust]

nah you’re definitely pushing it there

My 7700x was barely handling my 7900XTX

[civic reef]

Idk but honestly I might get a 3090

It's around 4070S level, and cheaper by a few hundred dollars

[brisk jolt]

It just isnt optimal

expedition 33 is a very nice game when it works

I need to do some funny command prompt every time I want to launch it :/

else its just gonna fatal error

[turbid locust]

Nah basically anything that needs decent cpu performance would struggle with that config

[turbid locust]

aka literally any modern game

[brisk jolt]

I’d assume with a 7500f and 4080 config they’d be pushing the PC towards GPU heavier game

[turbid locust]

Even the most gpu heavy games still need decent cpu performance nowadays, see 2077

[civic reef]

-Even with a 1000w psu it's cheaper by a good bit

[brisk jolt]

3second example if I dont do the funny command when launching for 2nd time

holy fuck dicord compression is absolute dog

[edgy laurel]

danny illustrates this well https://youtu.be/EBYHylB1ELs?si=9RdyWPSKm6851EUa

[shell void]

especially with people using DLSS now

quality on a 1440p display is only rendering at 960p

very easy to hit a cpu limit

[brisk jolt]

wb ultra quality

some have UQ

[topaz veldt]

people say they play 1440p and think they won't benefit from X3D

or would benefit minimally, but the native res is actually under 1080p

[shell void]

1990x1120

[turbid locust]

I mean some games at 4K native still see uplifts

[pure garnet]

the x3d is a double edged sword of brainrot though where they’ll get an awful gpu to pair with one

[topaz veldt]

yup

7800X3D/9800X3D with a 7600XT

"I don't want to be CPU limited" bro you wont be lol

[edgy laurel]

poor budget management

no, you don't need to spend more on your CPU than your GPU...

[topaz veldt]

yeah - there's decent balance, but there's also no way around "its going to cost more" if you want more

[wise bear]

the people w/ that mindset are the ones who bought threadripper 1st gens to go with titans

[topaz veldt]

I feel like people think there's some meta combo that will make a mid tier gpu and mid tier cpu = top tier

[turbid locust]

#tech-chat-1 message throwback to this banger

[pure garnet]

the only place my x3d has really been meaningfully better than alder lake that i noticed was xiv and fortnite

but i also don’t play a ton of broken ue5 games

[topaz veldt]

warzone benefits

but again its like... it'd prob run similar enough on a 9700X

[brisk jolt]

I still hate the fact I need to do command prompt shit to get expedition 33 to run properly

[turbid locust]

Skill issue

[pure garnet]

fr works on my machine

[brisk jolt]

It keeps giving me the stupid UE fatal error

[merry stirrup]

look emoji name for full effect

[turbid locust]

sick

[pure garnet]

6000 1.35 bin incoming

[arctic bronze]

Ack ack ack ack ack ack ack ack

[shell void]

he’s gonna get a 3300uclk 2233fclk sample

[pure garnet]

in his dreams

[turbid locust]

PLEASE

I almost want it to be bad ngl

First person in history to have a 9800x3D that doesn’t do 6000

[frank cypress]

9800x3d?

[turbid locust]

ya

[frank cypress]

ill pray that its not a mac bin

[pure garnet]

@shell void https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapcsales/s/dGQItRjbcy i’m so tempted

[green marsh]

even my 9950x3d does 6000CL30. I don't think it is even possible to not do 6000

[pure garnet]

i mean anything is possible when it’s the same old soc tile

[frank cypress]

this is kinda worth

do it

well if you want the games its pretty worth

its still decent even w/o

[turbid locust]

There’s a dude on r/overclocking with a 7800X3D that doesn’t do 6000 lol

[edgy laurel]

i mean, this wasn't a problem in 2022...

[pure garnet]

i’m sorry what

[brisk jolt]

nice chrome

[pure garnet]

am i really going core ultra

[turbid locust]

what

[pure garnet]

that board is priced so well

[iron relic]

https://tenor.com/view/disgusted-ew-that-look-he-gives-gross-gag-gif-17228959905536428194

[turbid locust]

Yeah dude it’s tragic lol

[brisk jolt]

sorry someone installed the cyberpunk virus

[turbid locust]

1.3vsoc and still could only do 5800MT/s

On a decent board too

[brisk jolt]

he won the lottery

wrong one tho

[pure garnet]

how do i unload the cursed tomahawk onto its next victim

bf6 + assassin's creed shadows + star wars outlaws with a 265k and aorus master for 510 seems like a crazy deal

[brisk jolt]

wtaf

[merry stirrup]

yoooo

[turbid locust]

we ball?

[merry stirrup]

how long this promo?

[pure garnet]

we may ball

[pure garnet]

doesn't say

[merry stirrup]

augghhhh

being forced into spending money

[shell void]

goated combo

[pure garnet]

yeah it dropping another hundo got me thinking

i can sell 7800x3d for 300ish i think?

[shell void]

the master is so much motherboard for $290

[pure garnet]

then 150 for the board

[brisk jolt]

Z890 AM+265k with like 3 games. GGs

[topaz veldt]

I got my 265k with Z890i Nova Master + Outlaws or Shadows for $90 off or something at MC

[brisk jolt]

Killer deal for the buy and play people

[shell void]

probs dumping inventory before arrowlake refresh launches

[topaz veldt]

yup

[pure garnet]

whats the ram situation on these

since it's a 4 dimmer and intel

[shell void]

idk how the master performs specifically but it seems like everyone can at least do 8000 on any board

[pure garnet]

so i should probably pickup that patriot kit if i got this

[shell void]

intel is always gear 2 so you should just run as high as possible

[shell void]

that hurts value a bit init

[pure garnet]

i mean my current kit can do 8k

[shell void]

i suppose not if youre able to sell your older 24 dimms

[pure garnet]

it just needs voltage

yeah i have a lot of stuff i need to offload

if i sell 4070+my cpu/board/ram it covers it all

[shell void]

i couldnt really tell how the patriot dimms perform because the board cant do 8000

i posted 8000cl36 at 1.4vdd tho

[merry stirrup]

8000-8200 peak

expect no more than 8k
