Everyone who's left has some grievance, has to be

[brisk jolt]

ive seen one ig reel about AI linus

[wise bear]

Yet they still have the roles, compare staff names for their roles

[brisk jolt]

lets just say he aint escapin the shitposts

[wraith steeple]

Yeah that's fair

[edgy laurel]

Totally forgetting the "wow, I've learned a lot here, this other private company that does what I wanna do will give me a lot more money and even MORE opportunity to learn!"

[wraith steeple]

I often forget that he had been there for close to a decade

[edgy laurel]

Gotta remember, everyone there is just skimming the surface of what they're interested in to make videos on it.

If they wanna actually do what they want to do, they go somewhere that does just that.

[granite dirge]

not in the case of shawnh,

[wraith steeple]

Seeing Jake's BMW content would actually be cool ICL

[brisk jolt]

Bus Metro Walk-

[wraith steeple]

And his occasionally WCing stuff

[brisk jolt]

hm

[edgy laurel]

wasn't expecting this cameo

[merry stirrup]

[green marsh]

just why.... https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2025/08/video-player-looks-like-a-1-inch-tv-from-the-60s-and-is-wondrous-pointless-fun/

to put it to scale

[ionic leaf]

BRUH

how is onedrive using 21gb

of fucking ram

[pallid marsh]

bruh uses fucking one drive

[green marsh]

well, i got space on OneDrive but not using it more or less 😄

[turbid locust]

really nice in specific circumstances

I have a shared office with coworkers and I don’t always get the same workstation every day. Being able to access various files across machines is nice.

Same when I’m at home on my work laptop

Yk, what cloud storage is for

First Deltamate Block by der8auer made through final stages of production, let's goooooo!

[vestal granite]

my one complaint is that the name of the block is larger and bolder than the name of the card but that's nothing a little bit of wire brush, sandpaper, sharpie, and clay can't fix

why the clay? cause it seems like fun to mess around with clay right now like making a bowl or something. normally I would wait for someone to actually ask that question for comedic effect and sacrifice the joke if nobody did but I want the universe to know I would love to make a clay bowl right now or something

[brisk jolt]

bro got the 50g0

[frank cypress]

this looks really good

[green marsh]

man, i still don't get Pi 5 pricing

like why would anyone get the Pi 5 8GB model unless you really want to save on every watt (for like solar powered stuff)

and if you don't mind power consumption even more, you can buy older used office mini PCs for less

[vivid sage]

hmmmmmmm

my nintendo is doing some tomfoolery

[wicked jasper]

i’d go moza

[sonic flume]

Ok i might need to do a bit more research on both moza and fanatec

[wicked jasper]

moza is just a better choice in 2025 imo

it has arguably a better ecosystem better 3rd party wheel support and even better support if you want to move to another wheelbase

a solid 80% of moza gear works on other wheelbases

other then that better software by far and better pricing

Anyone have suggestions on how to get 4x32GB DDR5 Dimms running stable at 5000MT+ ?
I'm running a 9950X with a gigabyte X870 Wifi7 ice motherboard

[pallid apex]

Yo i Havent used my pc in a week just turned it on but it wont turn on the power button is occasionally flashing white what do i do

[shell void]

run 1/1/2/2 layout
update your bios
slam VSOC straight to 1.25v and pray

[steel stream]

beautiful

[topaz veldt]

LOL so I had a mod hit me up on MC about scalping

[shell void]

minecraft?

[topaz veldt]

I was telling a dude I won't buy a 5090 Astral White because prices are coming down to $1999 now, and buying a $3400+ GPU vs. the $2939 white 5090s I already have would be insane if the price falls out. Mentioned how I learned when I bought my 4090 Strix white and sold it for like $1600 vs the 4090 Aero I sold for like $1650, losing $600 vs losing $150

I sold my last two 4090s for $4100 combined, shipped, they were like $2099 and $2199 new, and I guess that makes me a scalper? LOLOL

[shell void]

you’re supposed to keep using them until they’re worthless

[topaz veldt]

$4555 with tax paid, sold for $3900 after shipping and PayPal fees, look out scalpers! lol

This is the one 4090 Strix White I sold 🙁

Total scalp city

[topaz veldt]

PayPal has good seller protection

[green marsh]

that is why i have my mac mini 2018 i5 :D. Would probably get at best 300 euros for mine now, was 1600 euros new plus i upgraded RAM in it now to 64GB

i5-8500, 64GB RAM, 250GB SSD, 10 gigabit NIC 🤷‍♂️

[fringe vigil]

me and snail

[granite dirge]

Is there a better way to turn off RGB than needing to use a software like signal RGB?

[turbid locust]

I might’ve stabilized 6400 and how I did it pisses me off

[frank zealot]

some motherboards have an option to just turn it off off

[granite dirge]

Where would that be?

ASRock am5 riptide... I can't see the box to figure out the letters.

[frank zealot]

but depending on your other devices, you may need software to turn it off. (GPU's etc.)

[granite dirge]

Only the motherboard has RGB

[edgy laurel]

the classic case of where is this specific setting in my particular BIOS, always difficult to answer remotely. requires digging

use the search

[granite dirge]

It should be in bios though?

[edgy laurel]

BIOS search is critically underutilized

[frank zealot]

yeah, my board has something like... "Aura Lights" or something?

which turns it off

[granite dirge]

Spark I'm terrified of the bios lol

[onyx raft]

bios search? back in my day we had 8 layer drop down menus

[hoary hatch]

💀

[frank zealot]

you don't need to change anything, just look for something called RGB or Lights

[hoary hatch]

99% sure the bios has an EZ mode for RGB configuration

[onyx raft]

and cool pyramid logos

[turbid locust]

Basically required if you’re someone that tinkers with hardware and swaps between motherboard vendors a lot

Also required if you have an Asus board because god fucking forbid they call anything the same as any other vendor

[celest elm]

speaking of bios

yay or nay on hyper threading

[edgy laurel]

if you have to ask, yay

[granite dirge]

I don't know what it is but it sounds neat so yay.

[turbid locust]

what cpu

[green marsh]

Gemini 😄

[celest elm]

laptop with

[onyx raft]

pentium 4

[celest elm]

💻 i5 13420H | RTX 3050 6GB | 24GB DDR4

[hoary hatch]

Most of the time leave it enabled
In some instances, particularly with raptor lake, turning off hyper threading can significantly reduce power consumption

[hoary hatch]

Bruh don't touch it

[celest elm]

i'm concerned about heat because when the cpu gets hot, the gpu gets hot too even if gpu is at 0 use

[hoary hatch]

Gemini

[green marsh]

try to search for "N95 vs N100"

[celest elm]

there's a wiki page which compares all pentiums etc

[brisk jolt]

higher number better so a 9070 is better than 5090

[green marsh]

poor thing is really confused

[hoary hatch]

That's weird

I'd say it defaulting to respirators for the query is fine, but why does yours go on to say "not mini pc"

[green marsh]

(i was just looking at mini PC and trying to see how big the difference was, cause it was 120 euros for N95/16GB RAM/512GB SSD model)

[green marsh]

once it also said "not Intel processors"

[hoary hatch]

Cause N95 respirator queries were pretty big for a couple years

[turbid locust]

can vouch, mines slow af

[shell void]

mac did u decide which platform to keep

[brisk jolt]

yeah he decided to go onto threadripper

its objectively the best

[pure garnet]

my core ultra is out for delivery

[brisk jolt]

5090 aorus master ice looks pretty good without rgb and LCD screen

[turbid locust]

well

same exact config was erroring in like an hour previously

You know what I changed?

[pure garnet]

bro got the raptor lake zen 5

[turbid locust]

I turned off GDM and disabled iGPU

[lone scarab]

whaf is gdm

[turbid locust]

Gear Down Mode

[pure garnet]

it basically makes everything 1.5T

[lone scarab]

hmm

dont know anything about tjat

[turbid locust]

All because a YouTube video from a channel with 45 subscribers popped up on my feed going “hey guys I wasn’t able to run 6400 1:1 stable on my Asrock board until my friend told me asrock boards need gear down mode off”

and now it’s magically stable again

[lone scarab]

always these videos

from channels

[brisk jolt]

Theres a starman

[lone scarab]

with little to no subs

[turbid locust]

now if I can actually push FCLK now without errors then probably gonna keep 9800X3D

assuming this passes linpack. Running now.

[pure garnet]

buildzoid doesn’t own an ultra so i’ll be blindly flying

[turbid locust]

from what I’ve seen ARL “just works” so

[pure garnet]

yeah but idk what timings are good on intel

[turbid locust]

like people nearly doing 9000MT/s on auto voltages

[pure garnet]

i’ve only ever tuned single ccd low pressure controller am5

[turbid locust]

If it’s anything like my experience with raptorlake, good luck.

[pure garnet]

unless ups shows up in like an hour i can’t install the stuff till after work

[brisk jolt]

im being teased to go back into the bios grind and go tune ram again

[pure garnet]

mac will have the 6400c26 setup with igpu off

manifesting

newegg is in my neighborhood

ever since i removed KB5063878 my sleep has worked on the tomahawk

maybe it isn't broken idk

[jaunty horizon]

Guys I just built a new PC with R5 7500F + 3060Ti + ASRock B650M-H + MSI A650BN. The problem I've encountered is that I get random freezing in games and sometimes even outside of games. (Longest in Valorant but shorter and less common in Elden Ring).
I tried:
clean driver reinstall with DDU
updating BIOS
disabling EXPO and using rated speeds
disabling C-states
disabling PBO
disabling above 4G decoding
adjusting CPU min. state to 100% in windows power options
checking the PSU connectors
removing the PSU extensions

I have mobo drivers installed, the temps are ~41°C so its not VRM overheating. The SSD also seems to be perfectly fine.
What else can i try?

[shell void]

pray to saint patrick gelsinger

[cerulean cosmos]

I think my Xbox series x might have bricked itself 😬

And I'm pretty sure the same thing kind of happened to my quest 3s sometime last year or something but pretty much an update failed and for some reason right now I'm not able to get on the internet I'm trying a few more things but yeah

[turbid locust]

bless you

[pure garnet]

master box is highkey mid

[turbid locust]

That reminds me I need to swap to my 6000c26 kit instead of the Hynix greens I’ve been using to test

[pure garnet]

asus packaging mogs

[turbid locust]

Asus mobo packaging is nice but their GPUs are pretty standard

Well, unless a Strix or Astral is different but lol

[shell void]

the most silly boxes are the ones for asus flagship routers

actually it looks like they might have shrunk them with the latest BE98 Pro

[topaz veldt]

Duhs

[brisk jolt]

imo i like the master over the asus packaging

I dont like the side profile being straight up white with no sort of transition

[pure garnet]

board

the z890 master packaging is cheap

[brisk jolt]

oh packaging

i thought box- Sorry im on that 1am energy

gigabyte does some pretty good boxart

the aorus master and aero boxarts are simply nice

[wise bear]

That 1am energy goes hard

Sometimes you get a weird af second wind and others you just dissociate until unconsciousness

[frank cypress]

its over

random has infected me with the desire to sell the 4000 ada sff for a 4000 blackwell sff

gb203 on lp card is so ridiculous

[topaz veldt]

awwyeah

[fringe vigil]

Yo

I have to go out tomorrow really cba

[brisk jolt]

im gonna call it hes gonna send the “me and 5nail again” sometime soon

[topaz veldt]

wat

[fringe vigil]

Shut up send what I like

[brisk jolt]

i entered my bios to tune down some voltages and i saw the shit in gear 2 wtf

[topaz veldt]

That'll do, pig. That'll do.

So good

[pure garnet]

@turbid locust i inherited your curse

[topaz veldt]

oh nice - B&H delivered PA and titanrig delivered fittings

Some guy in class today was talking about TSMC fabs being the future, had to educate that guy real quick

some people have some luck

[shell void]

[topaz veldt]

wtffff

I just got my parents that 77 C5 for like.. a lot more

[edgy laurel]

yeah it wasn't retailing that low, just a right place right time one-off thing

[topaz veldt]

ah it was a manager being a good manager

[edgy laurel]

also, could be entirely made up

[topaz veldt]

that is true also

[edgy laurel]

tis the internet, after all

[topaz veldt]

I'd make that story up too if I needed to sneak another TV under my wifes radar

[edgy laurel]

LMAO

[pure garnet]

convincing the best buy manager to sell me a 42” c5 for $99

[topaz veldt]

landscapers just left - it is SO worth having someone who does that shit professionally just make it right periodically

Today was a good day - took the kids to the zoo, B&H AP arrived, titanrig fittings arrived, landscapers showed up and made things awesome...

The weather is amazing..

[edgy laurel]

dude.. it so nice

[topaz veldt]

yeah man we did the zoo - nice breeze, not hot

[edgy laurel]

will carry on through this weekend too

[topaz veldt]

perfect

maybe i'll clean the garage

@edgy laurel do you play the F1 2024/2025 games?

[edgy laurel]

Na. For some reason car/racing games never really clicked for me, dunno why.

[topaz veldt]

Yeah I used to be big into iracing and gtr2, etc., but I thought maybe I'd get into F1. The game is OK but the cars are so boring with V6 sounds.

[edgy laurel]

Like, i'm pretty sure Cruisin' USA was the last racing game I owned.

[topaz veldt]

ROFL

My son just saw... wtf was that game with all the crashing. Flat Out

he saw it in my steam library

[edgy laurel]

gotta introduce him to Mario Kart

[topaz veldt]

oh he and my wife play that

see still have a wii u lol - he wants a switch

[fringe vigil]

Everyone posting their oleds I see

[edgy laurel]

kids got access to 5090 PC's and wants a switch..

[fringe vigil]

Wait till mine

[pure garnet]

the 8000 xmp profile on these modules are fraud supreme

[topaz veldt]

its because of his friends dude

[pure garnet]

7600c36 is working though

[edgy laurel]

yeah..

[topaz veldt]

He plays Rocket League now

he gets frustrated I am like dude maybe this is too much for you, we can go back to Wii U and such

and hes like no! donny has rocket league!

I was like OK but does donny have it on his TV with all this shit?

"Well... no his dad lets him play it on his laptop"

[edgy laurel]

do kids his age understand the concept? ihave no idea

[topaz veldt]

No like he doesn't really understand that he's playing on crazy shit

[edgy laurel]

its like soccer.. with cars

[topaz veldt]

right so its car soccer and it runs on like 10 year old laptops

he gets frustrated because his remote battery dies or something and its like dude... you have to charge it lol

"Is this computer good? The remote stopped working"

[edgy laurel]

oh boy

little does he know

[topaz veldt]

literally playing on an x670e 9800x3d 5090 w/ 6000 cl26 and PCIe 5.0 4TB

Yeah I don't mention it, I take a breath and explain - so we have two 8bitdo's now, one to play and one to charge while playing lol

[edgy laurel]

ha, smart

[topaz veldt]

btw i joined 8bitdo Discord to ask like is there a controller that does MacOS and PC and isn't a fucked up layout

and even they are confused ROFL

[edgy laurel]

the compatibility between products has no rhyme or reason, i've given up trying to understand it

[topaz veldt]

the model numbers bro

even the 8bitdo discord doesn't understand it all

[fringe vigil]

Bro thinks that controller was huge upgrade form the 8bit

[topaz veldt]

btw this was hilarious

[edgy laurel]

they work

[topaz veldt]

what you talking about gorj

[edgy laurel]

no one knows

[fringe vigil]

What the hell take your kid away from it

[topaz veldt]

its cement lol

[edgy laurel]

jorj..

[fringe vigil]

What the helly

[topaz veldt]

nice my son just knocked the zenbook off the sofa onto the tile

[frank zealot]

I don't think jorj even knows

[fringe vigil]

No you clowns don’t know

[edgy laurel]

just saying words

[fringe vigil]

How is that controller an upgrade from the original 8bit

[topaz veldt]

jorj stop day drinking

[fringe vigil]

Valid q

[frank zealot]

what original 8 bit

[edgy laurel]

original?

[fringe vigil]

Yes the first one that was out

before that

[edgy laurel]

jorj they have been making controllers for years, be specific

[fringe vigil]

The one me and you have

[edgy laurel]

I have 3

[fringe vigil]

Oh well nvm

[topaz veldt]

the biggest improvement int he later ones imho are the metal surrounds around the sticks

the older ones plastic thumbsticks get kinda chewed up

watching this LTT vid on the Falcon NW sff

the PSU they use, damn

[edgy laurel]

If you're talking the difference between the Ultimate and the Ultimate 2...

-TMR joysticks w/ metal surrounds
-1000Hz polling rate over 2.4Ghz
-RGB
-Two extra bumpers
-Trigger mode switch
-Hall effect triggers
-Turbo function (that I have no idea what its purpose is)

[edgy laurel]

out today?

[topaz veldt]

minutes ago

i had to watch back what he said about Alienware and I still don't get it

all i'm processing is "weakend at burnese durowned"

anyway, moving on..

[frank zealot]

Weekend At Bernie's

[topaz veldt]

roooooofl $6500 as spec'd

gets 120-150 fps in Doom

[frank zealot]

"Weekend At Bernie's around all over the place"

[edgy laurel]

see, i heard the first part but the second part threw me off

[frank zealot]

AKA: They're walking around with a lifeless corpse, pretending it's alive

[topaz veldt]

Guilty is upper deck he just heard bernaise

[edgy laurel]

lol

[frank zealot]

and that's a fair description of alienware if i've heard any recently

[topaz veldt]

At the zoo I saw another dude wearing a Cleetus shirt lol

I was wearing my Mullet shirt

[edgy laurel]

did you give him a nice hell yeah brother

[topaz veldt]

I said "DO IT FOR DALE" and he turned around "HELL YEAH BROTHER"

my son lost it

[edgy laurel]

HAHA

this case doesn't look very ventilated.. but I have to imagine they've figured this out

eh, i guess it is

[topaz veldt]

i think its just... best effort

@edgy laurel is it weird that I don't care about turbine boats/cars?

[edgy laurel]

YES

[topaz veldt]

🙁 like, the Cleetus turbine boat vid I really just... it does nothing fo rme?

I'd much rather like 900 cubes with turbskis

[pallid marsh]

Do you own any amphibious vehicles snail?

[topaz veldt]

Yessir

I have a boat that is great on the water, terrible on the asphalt

[edgy laurel]

Cars, I don't get it. Boats I do but like.. its still really only practical for.. the sort of boats you see it in. Not endurance, not every day use

[topaz veldt]

Yeah I mean I just feel like for what they consume and the noise they're not that fast

[edgy laurel]

the one he ran did what, 150MPH

others went faster I guess

[topaz veldt]

yah that's ordinary big engine boat stuff

[edgy laurel]

you're talking like the dual and triple 1350HP Mercs

[topaz veldt]

or like customs

like twin nelson racing 3000 hps

[edgy laurel]

whoa, i forgot about Nelson Racing

[topaz veldt]

hell yeah

[edgy laurel]

used to watch his videos

[topaz veldt]

he has wild shit

[edgy laurel]

the coolest looking stuff i remember

[topaz veldt]

yeah "mammoth" intakes

[edgy laurel]

and mirror image turbos

so it was symmetrical

[topaz veldt]

the marine stuff is kinda scary to run full out because if that prop comes out she's gonna rev to the moon

yah the mirror turbos were exclusive to NRE but then Precision started offering it generally

[frank zealot]

I fucking hate the modern world. This is terrible.

[topaz veldt]

Yeah I am going to trust that guy

[frank zealot]

free country (for now), you do you

[topaz veldt]

tiktok is how i hear about all my social security leaks lol

[topaz veldt]

you should leave the country i guess its the only solution

[pallid marsh]

We should take over antarctica to truly be free and to get better OCs

[topaz veldt]

I think we should pretend that a political party didn't install the candidate, lose, and then talk about how "democracy is at risk" LOLOL

[pure garnet]

8ghz raptor daily tune will cost us florida

[topaz veldt]

We will never lose FL

FL is one of the few states where people would actually stand up

[pure garnet]

i meant the ice caps melting would flood florida

[topaz veldt]

nah florida will prevail

they'll just built shit on stilts, don't fear

[slim pebble]

What are you doing now?!

[edgy laurel]

this seemed.. low

[topaz veldt]

I am just going to convert to softlines on my GPU so I can more easily swap CPUs

[topaz veldt]

yeah agree

I was kind of disappointed they didn't take exception to that low fps figure with a $6500 price tag

[edgy laurel]

for 1440p, RT-off

wait, RT is on

[topaz veldt]

Yah but still

[edgy laurel]

but still, 5090

is 285 non-K really that bad

[topaz veldt]

they said the 285 non K is rated lower - I am not sure

[frank zealot]

It's got a much lower top boost than K, that's normal.

Also, the stock cooler is gonna be rough

[edgy laurel]

sadly we dont know a damn thing about it, because who's bothered to test it properly

[frank zealot]

so any chance of thermal related boost is just gone

[pure garnet]

-100mhz

[topaz veldt]

I feel like it was way too positive a review for the price

[pure garnet]

also lower stock power limit 182w vs 250w

[topaz veldt]

GN Steve would be vomiting all over that thing

[pure garnet]

gn steve vomits over anything and everything

[edgy laurel]

are short circuits considered reviews, i dunno

[pure garnet]

don't buy asus, asrock, gigabyte, msi, or a computer even

[topaz veldt]

My honest opinion... if you are building an SFF and you aren't using a 9800X3D you're doing it wrong (unless you're building a weird Plex transcode box like myself then 265k is it)

[edgy laurel]

yeah, 285 was a strange choice

[slim pebble]

I can wholeheartedly recommend it. Get the EK ZMT if you can

[pure garnet]

my master came with the launch bios revision so i guess newegg has sold a grand total of 3 of these

[topaz veldt]

Bud I already did it lol

[slim pebble]

Pics!

[topaz veldt]

I am using McMaster Carr EPDM

[pure garnet]

bios sucks but board seems nice otherwise

[frank zealot]

honestly there's not much reason for many people to get a 285 over a 265

other than "ook ook, I need big number"

[edgy laurel]

doubly so in an SFF gaming PC

[pure garnet]

4 more e cores makes gaming better surely

[topaz veldt]

I wasn't going to convert the GPU but it makes sense

I did it in order to fit DIMM.2

[frank zealot]

the slightly better clocks (that you can get with thermals and minor OC) is the only real reason to upgrade

[slim pebble]

Looking good so far!

[slim pebble]

Makes sense, nobody wants to run a high end rig with just one SSD

[topaz veldt]

(I have since removed DIMM.2 because my RAM temp went up like 3c)

285K smokes 265K in workstation purposes

there's a definite reason to run one, but SFF may not be it

[slim pebble]

Put the apex RAM fan on, it’ll be fine:

[topaz veldt]

I have a T30 on it...

[edgy laurel]

[edgy laurel]

pls watch

[slim pebble]

It’s simply gorgeous.

[topaz veldt]

have you seen how the x670e gene is?

[edgy laurel]

no but now i must

i've seen weird risers for M.2 on ITX boards but that butterfly arrangement takes the cake

they even have a fan

[slim pebble]

I’m going to clean out my loop, rinse the res/pump this weekend, and clean the gunk off of my cpu cooler fins.

[topaz veldt]

sorry wait

not the gene... what board was it

[edgy laurel]

don't tell me you're thinking of the X670E-I and its second chipset on a stick.. that only supports a single M.2

when the slot its using could just take the M.2 directly thus making the second chipset completely pointless

[edgy laurel]

I ranted about that many times

[topaz veldt]

yes lol

[edgy laurel]

bro

[topaz veldt]

that thing is a fucking nightmare

[edgy laurel]

I'd love for someone at Asus to explain that one to me

[slim pebble]

5nail5, how often should you clean out a cpu block?

[edgy laurel]

x4 lanes for the second chipset on a riser card.. but the only I/O that riser card gives you is x4 lanes pass through for an M.2 drive

[fringe vigil]

[wraith steeple]

IDEK what model car this car

[edgy laurel]

R8 V10, probably a Plus

[wraith steeple]

ah actually i do see the front headlights being very Audi R8

[topaz veldt]

Akro exhaust so no

[topaz veldt]

Yes

[turbid locust]

do we think the 9800x3d survives linpack the whole time I’m at work

@topaz veldt I think I got 6400 stable

[wraith steeple]

[turbid locust]

went 12hrs no error Karhu last night, left linpack to run while at work today

disabled GDM and iGPU and suddenly everything’s stable

I haven’t retested FCLK stability yet, this is all 2000

I hope it fixed my FCLK stability too

[fringe vigil]

r8 so clean

[turbid locust]

R8 clean but starting to look dated imo

need a refresh

[edgy laurel]

2006 R8

not much has changed

[topaz veldt]

In person nicer looking

[edgy laurel]

don't normally like Spyders but R8 looks IMO better with no roof

[pure garnet]

i wish you luck on a gdm off tune

[lime cobalt]

what would be considered the best pump for custom loops? is it still d5

[lime cobalt]

they killed the production of it already... its been several months

i dont think they'll bring it back

[stoic mulch]

this is really stupid but are there scholarships for high school students to get laptops? my mac's slowing down and i dont wnat to pay for another one. Good grades and all that

[turbid locust]

probably

there’s virtually infinite micro scholarships to apply for

for the most random shit too

[stoic mulch]

know where to look?

[pure garnet]

idk for high school but for college my uni had a site to auto submit to like 40 of them

i got $1500 from a construction company one year

[brave panther]

[languid nimbus]

It's Lenovo 81AX

[fringe vigil]

sorry for that

[languid nimbus]

Thankfully I'll with a 60% certainty upgrade to a PC in October

Maybe a 1440p one or 1080p depends

[fringe vigil]

mine 4k ultra

saddest moment ever

[languid nimbus]

Damn what specs?

[fringe vigil]

4090 9800x3d

[languid nimbus]

My friend has 4070 ti and I forgot which processor lol

[fringe vigil]

nice

[languid nimbus]

He'll give me a windows flash drive when I get my PC

The USB thumb

[topaz veldt]

💪

[languid nimbus]

That looks amazing!

[fringe vigil]

I could eat that in like 3 bites

wtf

[languid nimbus]

I eat just about everything and got fast metabolism so make it 2 bites

[fringe vigil]

yh

[fringe vigil]

tuna never really had it

[dense python]

I'm still on a budget, but will this make you proud?
Still cost me $326 total for the RX 6800 XT...
Again I'll be getting a free RX 7900XT whenever (could be a year or two) so it just needs to get by.

[brave panther]

tuna needs to be rare, otherwise its dry

[topaz veldt]

@edgy laurel https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=IZwxnQZSRBE&si=mICorY3GQXvrjJUv

[pure garnet]

i mean that’s a gigantic upgrade

[languid nimbus]

That looks even better NGL

[dense python]

Started from a GTX 1050 (2GB) > GTX 1060 (3GB) > RX 580 (8GB) > RX 6800XT (16GB)

I just hope the price I spent ($326) was adequate for the card, hopefully considered a "good deal" for the upgrade... now I just need to sell those other GPUs to recover some of that damage to my wallet.

[languid nimbus]

Here's my path

PlayStation 3 ≠ HD 620 (still using PS3) >* RTX 2080S

the * means I'll prolly do it but no guarantees

[dense python]

🤔

Because my Desktop PC was so underpowered and that I was so mobile, I switched to Laptops.
I think I found some pretty good upgrades, especially for the price.
I don't remember what exact laptop I sold, but I found a ASUS ROG laptop for $500 flat a pawn shop that lasted me 8 years, then I found a Dell laptop that I just couldn't not buy, then I got a 2020 14" Razer laptop with a RTX 3070 for about 50% off.

This was the Dell laptop I managed to get:

(note the small red sticker price)

[nova trout]

bruh

[edgy laurel]

banger

[nova trout]

i'd never buy such a thing ever lol

since you bought it

buy yourself one of these

and this

[topaz veldt]

We eat alright

[fringe vigil]

https://youtu.be/qTA0RuZoIxM?si=4e2w0A2-PpeMALV3 this better

[dense python]

Oh yeah... I definitely had my share of laptop coolers, especially for that Dell laptop.
That thing loved to overheat.
Heck, even my Razer is at times too hot to use the keyboard as it singes my fingers during gaming.
Luckily, I've already sold my Dell a few years ago, which is why I have my current Razer latop that you can see in the image on the right:
#tech-chat-2 message

[fringe vigil]

i wish aaliyah was still alive

[nova trout]

lol easiest excuse for multiple displays

another thing i experience with those is that they tend to have low quality thermal paste from factory

so that's an easy fix

the best fix imo is don't buy them

they're a scam

those parts go through a lot of heat they fail prematurely

[edgy laurel]

Hot take that isn't actually hot: Gaming laptops from the major brands that make them are all ass. All of them.

[dense python]

In that picture, you're seeing is 2 monitors from my Desktop PC, with my Laptop on the side as another PC.
Because I also use "Mouse without Borders", I can use my mouse and keyboard from my Desktop PC to interact with my Laptop like a 3rd display.

[languid nimbus]

Tbf they're good for those who can't have a PC

[topaz veldt]

No, they're horrible

[nova trout]

nah

they're absolute nightmare

i wouldn't advise anyway to get them kek

[languid nimbus]

How come?

[nova trout]

what i said above

i think these companies just don't care
they know a lot of people will just buy them because they don't know better and they can be advertised as " save money, all in one! for half price of pc setup"

[edgy laurel]

Poorly built engineered compromises. Just a shitty product segment all around.

Best to be avoided unless there is absolutely no other choice.

[pure garnet]

unless you spend like 3 grand yeah i agree

[nova trout]

if i get a laptop it would be like a functional one for work purposes and such and never a "gaming laptop"

wouldn't throw more than 300-400$ on it

[edgy laurel]

Macbook + GeForce NOW 😉

[pure garnet]

g14 is solid build wise but it’s like $2200 for a 5060

[nova trout]

also who's "gaming on the go" ever
unless you're some rich boy who travels a lot idk

[pure garnet]

i used to play magic arena on my laptop between classes

[nova trout]

totally understandable
not worth the scam of gaming laptops

[languid nimbus]

My wifi so terrible I can't run GeForce now on my PC

[edgy laurel]

at that point the money spent is going into power hungry, hot and heavy components with no battery life. The whole thing just makes no sense.

[pure garnet]

my 7735hs+4050 was $1500 i think?

i liked it for having a decent enough gpu to occasionally game with

[topaz veldt]

Honestly viable

[edgy laurel]

bro I didn't even listen to it since I've heard it 1000 times but bringing up that album, i've had the taste of ink intro playing in my head on repeat

[fringe vigil]

🤦‍♂️

[topaz veldt]

It's been in my head since like 2002 lol

[edgy laurel]

thats an album I specifically remember buying the CD for. saw a lot of rotation

[topaz veldt]

Yes definitely

I remember putting it in my alpine headunit lol

[edgy laurel]

DUDE

[hoary hatch]

I'm always surprised at the amount of people that ran at home GPU mining operations

[topaz veldt]

I had a 1.25 Din like 7997 or something

[edgy laurel]

I was just about to say, my memory is getting it at the mall, opening it in the car and putting it in my Sony headunit lol

[topaz veldt]

Haha yup

@edgy laurel https://ebay.us/m/Cb5VpL

I had that

[edgy laurel]

yeah that was baller

[topaz veldt]

I worked at circuit City got it at cost like $350

[edgy laurel]

I had this Sony that I painted the faceplate black lol

[topaz veldt]

Awwww ballin

[edgy laurel]

didn't stand out as much as the stock silver

[topaz veldt]

Yeah stock those areas like red and silver

[edgy laurel]

remember the little cases that you could put the faceplate in

hide it in the glovebox

(i never did)

[topaz veldt]

Yes

[edgy laurel]

I found it, CDX-F7700

[topaz veldt]

I never did either

Uhhh yes silver and red lol

[edgy laurel]

I forgot about Sony Xplod

[topaz veldt]

Haha was just going to day

I put a headunit in my e30

[edgy laurel]

it was the thing to do

dude i just found the strangest thing

I can't explain why i took these, or how I got them home, or what I ended up doing with them

these were some sort of open wheel stock car hoosiers

I wanna say the Dodge dealership I worked at, the owner had a car he raced... what the actual fuck did i think I was going to do with them

[topaz veldt]

No I mean recently lol

[topaz veldt]

Lol I did similar I brought home pirelli 20" tires off an XJR that were like 60% left....like why

[vestal granite]

tables

[edgy laurel]

slightly less rediculous

[topaz veldt]

True... Though 20s in like 2003 on an E34 isn't happening

[edgy laurel]

i wonder if they were old. I don't know if I would know to check date codes back then

[topaz veldt]

Prob

@edgy laurel put a cut on the lawn this evening it's so much easier to steer lol

You ever just deal with shit needlessly for a while and then you're like wow why didn't I fix that sooner

[shell void]

did you give it a fade?

[topaz veldt]

yes

[shell void]

immaculate

[frank cypress]

man I love watching cpu renders

something about seeing those Lil buckets go

[shell void]

i checked out the new 3dmark benchmark

[pure garnet]

@topaz veldt do you use rtss/afterburner on the 285k pc at all? for some reason i can't get cpu power draw to show up as an option

[pure garnet]

Newegg contacted me first, they admitted to the mess up but told me to contact intel for the full key because they'll honor it, so hopefully on tuesday i'll have the bundle

[turbid locust]

Yeah nearly 12 hours of Karhu and like 10 hours of linpack. Can officially call this stable.

The chip does 6400. Confirmed.

[pure garnet]

[turbid locust]

Now we get to play the fun little game called “Will the fkin FCLK work”

[pure garnet]

can you check if sleep works so i can cope

[turbid locust]

never use sleep and never will

[small ermine]

can y'all help me with pc stuff

[turbid locust]

probably not

[pure garnet]

none of us own computers

[small ermine]

well can you atleast try maybe? because i have tried eberything

[pure garnet]

we just pretend to using images we find online

[edgy laurel]

probably not everything

[small ermine]

well the stuff i know that usually fixes it

i need help with my pc, so basically when i boot up a game and i am watching a video or listening to music, all of those things like spotify, discord and chrome closes my specs are pretty good i have 64 gb ram, my cpu is AMD Ryzen 9 7900X 12-Core Processor GPU is a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti

[edgy laurel]

clean your os

[small ermine]

you mean like temp files? or am i miss understanding?

[edgy laurel]

startup apps, crap running the background

[small ermine]

what does the os stand for?

[edgy laurel]

operating system

[small ermine]

oh just clean my pc from junk i don't need at all?

[edgy laurel]

beginners like to go years without full wipes/reinstalls and install all sorts of crap. and they don't keep track of whats set to startup at boot

startup tab in task manager. if you've got a list a mile long set to Enabled.... bet you thats your problem

[mild sandal]

I wonder if it's possible to use a pc as a egpu dock

[small ermine]

well i have never ran into this problem before, have had this pc for 2 years, runs great but craps out when i open steam games, it closes discord and then opens it again when i close the game

[edgy laurel]

ok

not sure what thats supposed to mean

[small ermine]

well me neither

[edgy laurel]

meaning its not relevant

[small ermine]

well shit

[edgy laurel]

when you have a problem, 90% of the time there isn't going to be a "have this problem, do this exact thing to fix it"

PC's don't work that way. you have to troubleshoot, which means trying things

if you gave that PC to me, I wouldn't even bother with your 2 year old OS install

I'd immediately wipe it out and start fresh

No idea what you've done to it, waste of time trying to battle whatever it might be doing. Better to start witha clean slate.

[mild sandal]

Quick question, do you have elden ring?

[small ermine]

yeah

[mild sandal]

Boot it up and take a few screenshots with prtscn in-game if ya can. On multiple devices for me, it destroys/kills my drivers

[edgy laurel]

why haven't you fixed that yet

been talking about it for months...

[small ermine]

huh?

[edgy laurel]

its just a you problem

[small ermine]

i agree with guiltyspark

[mild sandal]

Considering I bought a brand new laptop and it still crashed the second I took a screenshot I assume it's the game

[edgy laurel]

if it was the game, the internet would be overflowing with people complaining about crashes when taking screenshots. it isn't. So its possibly something with software you install on both machines/have running

[mild sandal]

It's gonna be really funny if it's from wallpaper engine, but I'd assume people would be talking about that on the Internet

[edgy laurel]

a classic garbage application that causes problems

[mild sandal]

What's the confusing part is that it's only killing drivers when in elden ring, not any other games,which is why I originally thought it was a game bug

[small ermine]

well i took a shit ton of screenshots and nothing happens so it is 100% something wrong with your pc

i just cleaned my os and i still have the same problem sadly

well thank you for trying to help at least

[mild sandal]

So it's probably wallpaper engine, a corrupted save file, or smth unique

[mild sandal]

What's the problem exactly

[small ermine]

...

that

[pure garnet]

sounds like some game booster thing

[edgy laurel]

yeah i mean, its a typical software issue. they were told how to troubleshoot it

[green marsh]

btw all those other things are browser based. If i had to guess something crashes GPU acceleration of Chrome, which then kills the apps

[mild sandal]

I think they did? #tech-chat-2 message

[edgy laurel]

that wasn't for you

[edgy laurel]

If all your software is up to date, no crap is running the background that isn't essential.. i mean we could be here for weeks. Just wipe it.

[small ermine]

just full reset on my pc?

[small ermine]

i don't have anything like that

[edgy laurel]

Specifically no, do not use the Reset my PC option built into Windows.

Actually, properly wipe and reinstall.

[small ermine]

meaning?

[mild sandal]

Oh and make sure to back up any important files

[edgy laurel]

the same thing you did to get WIndows on it in the first place. Boot to install media, wipe the whole drive (all partitions), install fresh.

[green marsh]

what do you mean you don't have anything like that. Literally every single application you mentioned is browser based, and every single browser uses GPU acceleration and GPU video decoding capabilities. Discord is an Electron app - which is Chrome, Spotify uses CEF - which is Chrome...

(well Chromium, but that is same engine)

[frank zealot]

Guilty, I'm so old....

I just got a notification that my eBay account is 24 years old...

[mild sandal]

Damn Gramps

[frank zealot]

shakes cane
Damned whippersnapper

[green marsh]

mine is only a decade old or so, because ebay was mostly useless for me (huge shipping costs)

i don't think any account i made in 2001 is still alive, most of those services are gone by now

[small ermine]

i shall reinstall windows been looking up and people higly recommend it every 1 to 2 years?

[frank zealot]

My email, Amazon, ebay, LiveJournal, and a few others are from the early 00s or even 90s

But yeah most things from back then are long gone

Guilty and I have forum accounts from back then

[edgy laurel]

oldest thing I have access to is like 05

my gmail. anythign before that is long gone

If I get a PC I'll have to plug in my PSU here... And at worst it'll have 440w

[fervent elm]

Fire hazard

[brisk jolt]

ur ebay account is 5 years older than me gng

[languid nimbus]

Yeah im fucked unless I plug it into the wall which is hard cause of the way my desk is

[brisk jolt]

https://tenor.com/view/kamen-rider-kamen-rider-build-bloodstalk-gif-25294836

[languid nimbus]

Or I unplug everything

[fervent elm]

As long as its not all on simultaneously

Not a huge issue ig
Looks like it has a fuse

[small ermine]

you guys got a good tutorial for me to follow when i reinstall windows?

never done it before

[brisk jolt]

youtube

[languid nimbus]

I can plug off everything probably, if it isn't stuck from 2000s (yes hardware is that old I checked)

[turbid locust]

What’s it like to know your eBay account is older than me, a grown ass mf?

[fervent elm]

Bros ebay account can almost rent a car

[brisk jolt]

dudes ebay account potentially can have higher credit than me

[pure garnet]

you need an x870e apex fr

perfect board for the 11800x3d

[turbid locust]

yeah $750 mobo just so I don’t have to manually turn off Gear Down Mode

[pure garnet]

i got 7600c36 stable so i'll probably 8000c36 with more vdd tomorrow

patriot bin kit properly challenge

both me and michael with the same kit had issues

[turbid locust]

lol I told you that kit was dogshit but noooooo

fucking nobody listens to Mac

[frank zealot]

Smirk

[turbid locust]

wat

[green marsh]

my bank account i created as adult could drink alcohol in US for few years by now

[frank zealot]

I have one account that I know worked last login from the 90s

[pure garnet]

i don't see any other options that were binned better

[fervent elm]

Mines 3 weeks old lol

[pure garnet]

there's half a dozen 8000c38 but no 8000c36

[turbid locust]

it’s all hynix. Buy 8000 kit, increase voltage, slam timings

[frank zealot]

My current account was from 04 or 05?

[pure garnet]

well then i didn't really get anything bad then

i just gotta usea bit more voltage

[green marsh]

mine is from '00 or '01

[turbid locust]

If it doesn’t do what it’s rated for then it’s pretty fucked

But you probably would’ve had better luck buying a 6000c26 kit

[pure garnet]

cheapest non patriot xmp kit is $215 for cl38

[fervent elm]

Im a bit behind on ddr5 but pretty much anything better than like 6000 c36 is hynix a die isn't it?

[turbid locust]

not anymore

[pure garnet]

270 for m die with that bin

[frank zealot]

I moved in 03, and my old bank doesn't have branches here

[pure garnet]

that's 90 bones over what i paid

if 1.5 works i'll be okay i think

[turbid locust]

Kit that behaves properly and you can be confident in, or cheap kit. Pick one lmao.

Good bin Ram is really nice

[pure garnet]

why are the godbin kits rgb :\

[turbid locust]

Never having to question your kit is great

[pure garnet]

give me just no heatspreaders or ones that actually work

[turbid locust]

idk but it doesn’t matter ngl

[turbid locust]

just take the heatspreaders off

[fervent elm]

Ah

6000 c26 kits exist now
Interesting

[pure garnet]

im not tearing the headspreaders off immediately into the hobby yet

[turbid locust]

my 6000c26 Kit had the heatspreaders on for maybe 12 hours after they were unboxed

with that being said, I saw almost zero fucking temp difference

[pure garnet]

i might just run 7600xmp for now

[turbid locust]

raptor speeds

[pure garnet]

since i bought the intel+master for stability

not just to tune on

[random flame]

Lol, Evolt reaction.

sorry to hear man

[young void]

Thats alright had high hopes but happens, luckily the one coming should be alittle nicer just waiting is gonna be meh and then alittle anxious ngl

[hoary hatch]

You are cursed

Have you ever considered that?

[young void]

Mayhapsss

[lone scarab]

new or used?

[young void]

New so just returned it

[lone scarab]

bruh

crazy

[young void]

You're telling me it looked awsome for the one night it worked lol

[hoary hatch]

Exceptionally cursed

[young void]

Then today just no display, power light came on, I tried hdmi and display cable, both pcs, motherboard display, it'd go to standby white and blue for picking up signal and just darkness not even a menu or nothing

Tried power cycling, nada

Just the empty stare. Lights on but no ones home (was going to test the dvd drives ive had sitting around)

After digging in reddit its a common issue apparently so waisted no time on returning

[lone scarab]

why is it a common issue

[young void]

Alienware/dell things

[lone scarab]

is it common with specifc monitors or oled

[young void]

Just this model specifically*

[lone scarab]

ah ok ok

crazy

[young void]

On a positive note here's some royal sticks if anyone's seeking, he sent an offer of 202.50 plus shipping if looking to send an offer. I was super tempted but, if a tc homie snags all the same https://ebay.us/m/ldX2fC

[turbid locust]

6000c30 😴

[pure garnet]

i was gonna say i looked at the listing and the bin didn't look impressive at all

30-36-36 at 1.4v

[young void]

Just cl 30 hynix sticks but price was decent

[turbid locust]

pretty generic hynix bin but 64GB is nice I suppose

probably a similar bin to what Mike uses

[young void]

Not the best sticks more for a deal type thing just slightly tighter then the cl 30-38-38 sticks. Think the white tridents myte be the same

[turbid locust]

I am simply not interested in dual rank kits personally

[young void]

Whatevers clever

$360 for cl26 g skills 🙁

One dayy

[thick frost]

they released it in 2012

it’s the greatest handheld ever :3

[heavy mantle]

@hoary hatch ahhh

I had enough being the comon poor person i am and decided to get a 5900x for ma bedroom

And it should be here by tmrw

[thick frost]

What could one use a 5900x for

[heavy mantle]

Running office 365 somewhat smooth

Oh also for cad and stuff like that for personal hobbies and other collage stuff

[thick frost]

sounds overkill

not that I can criticise with a 9900x but still

[heavy mantle]

Oh yeah and i want it ciz cool number

Am paring it with a zotac 3060 oc 12 gig laying around

[thick frost]

pairing Zeus with a guy with a gun and body armour

that’s definitely one way to do it

[heavy mantle]

😔

[fervent elm]

5900x and a 3060
Average 2020 prebuilt combo

[oak vector]

here we have 12900ks rigs with 4060s 😔
(that's a 12900ks, not the plural of 12900k)

mb 4060ti (8gb ofc)

[fervent elm]

Lmao

[oak vector]

certified aussie

[brisk jolt]

14900K with 3050>

[oak vector]

at some stage I was gonna chuck a 4090 with my r5 5600
But, didn't end up happening unfortunately

[brisk jolt]

I know a guy who did a 5600x and 5070ti

[oak vector]

that sounds almost reasonable

when it comes out, I'll probably end up with a 5600 and a 5070 super LOL

she'll be right

[pure garnet]

tbf with the k vs ks i got my ks for dumb cheap

and the 12900k isn’t a super end cpu anymore

[oak vector]

yeh

I mean solid chip, but, I'd take a new i5 over it honestly

[thick frost]

For a while there I had a 9900X with a Radeon VII

[brisk jolt]

he did a 5600x with a r9 270x

[oak vector]

I've seen i7 3770 with a 3060 in an optiplex

[thick frost]

Not totally unreasonable

[oak vector]

I've had an i7 6700 with a rtx 2060

[pure garnet]

i had a 2060/2700k setup for a bit

[thick frost]

I found a pic, dinky ass thing

[oak vector]

uhhhhh it is really not great. lmao. I mean it works, but

[pure garnet]

what is the ae 5 plus

[thick frost]

Soundcard

[pure garnet]

ah

[oak vector]

looks like those tech tok pcs
but instead the cpu is like an i3 4th gen with a triple fan white 4060ti 8gb

such a cute lil gpu tho

[thick frost]

wtf is tech tok

[oak vector]

idk a "subsection" of tiktok with a heap of dumbo teenagers posting their pc setups, and it's some boringly clean setup, with pcs that look really nice, but usually are really shit

[thick frost]

that’s why I don’t know, tiktok

[pure garnet]

the 7600x+4060 with an nzxt elite aio is a common combo

[oak vector]

look 7600x is a good cpu, but it deserves a better gpu
or save money on the cpu and upgrade the gpu if you can

lmao i just read
aio with a 7600x 💀

[pure garnet]

my sister has a 7600x for her 2060

[thick frost]

A520 board with a 5600gt with no gpu in a hyte y70 touch isn’t a totally uncommon config people make at my work lmao

[oak vector]

I had a 2060......
solid gpu at the time, honestly. but man I wouldn't have it now

[oak vector]

..........

[pure garnet]

she plays at 720p

[oak vector]

..... what.

1080p monitors are SO cheap man 😭

[thick frost]

adorbs

[oak vector]

but fair enough
at 720p, 2060 is a beast

[thick frost]

idk man, people are stupid

[oak vector]

such a cute wittle card

[thick frost]

Which one

[oak vector]

the top one

uhh sorry, right one

[pure garnet]

i offered to give her my old 1440p monitor and she said no

[thick frost]

Radeon VII, RTX 2080 competitor lol

[pure garnet]

so she uses a 22 inch 720p television as her daily display

[oak vector]

idk what games she plays, but 2060 at 1440p wouldn't be great....

[pure garnet]

like the sims

[oak vector]

ok 22 inches, marginally smaller than my secondary, but still, not amazing.

[thick frost]

I use a 46” 1080p LCD Sony Bravia from 2007 as my main tv

[pure garnet]

and wizard 101, maybe a bit of marvel rivals

[oak vector]

sims is more cpu intensive no?

[oak vector]

GOAT
my mum still has that as her main tv

[oak vector]

the radeon actually looks like my gpu lmfao

I quite like my boxy lil 4060ti

[pure garnet]

i have a 40 inch vizio i got for free as my tv atm

[thick frost]

I only have it cuz I have a shit ton of consoles and it has every input under the sun and multiple of them

[pure garnet]

if i end up using it a lot maybe ill get an oled but rn its fine

[oak vector]

REALLLLL

[pure garnet]

the apple tv i use on it is worth more than the tv though

[thick frost]

That has 16gb vram

[oak vector]

lmfao.....?
how olds the gpu

[thick frost]

2019

4096 bit memory bus

[oak vector]

what....
am I reading this right

[thick frost]

The only part it beats a 4090 in is memory bandwidth lmao

[thick frost]

HBM2 go crazy

then the back msi card is a 3080, nothing special tbh not even that powerful I guess smh

[gloomy vault]

vii’s the pinnacle of gpu design imo

love the rectangular look

[thick frost]

Specifically because of the chrome edges

[gloomy vault]

personally i hate random geometric shapes

[thick frost]

Rgb looks fucking great with that card, it reflects and shines beautifully

[gloomy vault]

the other ones a 3080 ventus right

[thick frost]

3080 Gaming Z Trio

[gloomy vault]

oo

[thick frost]

It’s got 3 8 pin power connectors lol

[gloomy vault]

dang im blind

[wraith steeple]

[green marsh]

well, a bit less than 50 euros down the drain 😄 . Couldn't resist a 50 euro "wireless" mechanical keyboard, which can technically connected to 5 devices :D.

1. USB
2. 2.4GHz dongle
3. 3x BT connections

[charred osprey]

thats like most wireless keyboards nowadays

[lapis bobcat]

So I looked up cases for 5090 and obviously need a case that will fit the card. However, I noticed some articles list cases that would not only fit the card, but for airflow. And if I get a case that can fit numerous fans, IS IT NECESSARY to fit as many fans as the case is made for? Or do I really need to make sure the card fits and I have whatever fans I have blowing the proper way….. Part of me wants a case that’s oversized but then another part of me wants one that will fit the card and maybe a little extra room but not a ton

[green marsh]

possibly, but at 50 euros it is a nice choice even if it is only going to be backup

[green marsh]

you only need 25mm extra for front fans

[pure grail]

no. on good airflow cases even high power systems are fined with like 2 in and 1 out

[brave panther]

did you spend more on mobo than you did on cpu?

[pure grail]

sell it with a slightly increased price then say "INCLUDES FREEBIE I3 12100F" instead of calling it a bundle

[versed crow]

id just sell separate cus people want both, if it was an older platform id sell together

[versed crow]

you dont need every single fan you can, 3 120 intake and 1 or 2 exhaust is plenty

put it up for auction and people will pay what they think its worth

[topaz veldt]

i3 z790 is wild

This is dumb How Meta acheives 120kW a rack in 20kW air-cooled data centers - DCD https://share.google/8kCbUAUMtEwZcOWlE

Yeah so they put 120kw in a rack in a data center designed for 20kw racks... They do it by overloading the rack and then using 4 neighboring racks for air/water cooling. So 120kw in a rack really takes 5 racks ...

[brave panther]

https://tenor.com/view/neuron-activation-neuron-gif-1455356329209493514

[brave panther]

that is not 120kw per rack, that is 120kw per 5 racks

[topaz veldt]

Ok

@edgy laurel apparently my son is a rocket league beast, I've literally never played it lol

[wide rose]

Is this a good deal https://www.mediamarkt.nl/nl/product/_lenovo-loq-15irx10-156-inch-coretm-i7-i7-13650hx-24-gb-1-tb-geforce-rtxtm-5070-1885963.html

[charred osprey]

its alright ig

[topaz veldt]

It was a good story

[wide rose]

Feel like its one of the cheapest 5070 I can find

Purely from a performance point I feel like this is good

But im not sure

[shell void]

based size

i want to see more 37” monitors come out

gimme 37” 5120x2880

[pure garnet]

that’s one of the titles of all time

[spare tinsel]

more is good
options that is
im still a bit bummed that they went from 27 to 32 like

[shell void]

in a more sane time we had the option of 30” 16:10

[brisk jolt]

W quote ngl

[edgy laurel]

quite the quote

[pure garnet]

first night with arrow lake and sleep worked properly

[edgy laurel]

so your ryzen system wouldn't sleep, then you had issues with your intel system?

hate to break it to you but....

[pure garnet]

no i haven’t had issues with the intel one

well beyond patriot lying about my memory bin

[slim pebble]

He’s making great use of that 5090 😂

[slim pebble]

5 inches can change everyday life

😂

[shell void]

it's so true

[wise bear]

damb

tivvy's not w/ lmg no mo'

😔

If dan leaves I'm unsubbing from floatplane

strike 2/3, lmg

strike 1 was alex 😭

(Yes I know people move on I'm being a shitter)

I'm gonna miss tivvy's laugh 😭

[final glacier]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdpfV5IkUi0

[wise bear]

At this rate we're gonna get a 5595x3d

[pure garnet]

@turbid locust you are further vindicated by this patriot kit being completely unstable at 7600 xmp

[green marsh]

the AMD used market here is pretty much dead. 3700X or 5700X are the maximum one can score on used market

[turbid locust]

https://tenor.com/view/uh-gif-230597167926076170

[pure garnet]

returning them

buying 8000c28 1.35v 48gb kit gskill

[green marsh]

i would have to buy a board + CPU + RAM combo to score a 5950x. Not bad price, 250 euros for the whole combo, but man, i don't need yet another board and more RAM 😄

[steel stream]

https://tenor.com/view/wtf-fuck-facepalm-disappointed-gif-14704758

[pure garnet]

it died in one iteration of vt3

beamng?

https://videocardz.com/newz/intel-files-patent-for-software-defined-super-cores

[topaz veldt]

wat

[brisk jolt]

idk why discord sent me all the way back to yesterday 3am

like 20 hours ago

[shell void]

welcome back rentable units?

[steel stream]

yay?

[main bear]

So like reverse hyperthreading?

[brisk jolt]

oh fuck me

i reset my ram back to basic expo and I got the fatal error so thats not the problem

[pure garnet]

running 6400mt on arrowlake is immense aura loss

[shell void]

if it was 6400 jedec ecc then it would be based

i hate that intel locks ecc support to w880

[pure garnet]

i put my corsair a die in for now

i’ll have the g skill kit monday
