Basically went from 2x 22inch 1080p to 2x 32inch 1440p 1x 27 inch 1440p (it's also his home office and they were on sale so ultrawide would kinda be sub optimal for him at least that he felt)

[hot acorn]

I asked for help fixing the link thing but nonone replied

[shell saddle]

Jeeez nice

[hot acorn]

https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/alienware-34-curved-qd-oled-gaming-monitor-aw3423dwf/apd/210-bfrp/monitors-monitor-accessories i got this off fb marketplace for $300

[shell saddle]

Very nice

We got both the 32 inch ones for like

$365 cad per

like a nice winter stew

[shell saddle]

I'm contemplating seeing why there's a very very oddly nice looking BMW 3 series at the local junkyard

And buying it.

[topaz veldt]

don't buy a BMW, they're terrible

[edgy laurel]

you just said the magic words

[shell saddle]

Oh I know trust me.

[topaz veldt]

no trust me they're not a good value

[shell saddle]

True that

[turbid locust]

my HDV being silly

[hot acorn]

Yall have shelves i have an grave yard

[topaz veldt]

bro is posting like text files and shit

[shell saddle]

Id be better spending my money on 2 1982 RX7's and getting them running

[edgy laurel]

are these pictures not embedding for anyone else?

[topaz veldt]

FCs are ass too though

[hot acorn]

Help me fix it then brooo

[turbid locust]

yeah not embedding for me either

[shell saddle]

Hey one comes with a 5.0 coyote and the other with the original 13b for $2700cad for both

[edgy laurel]

ok

[shell saddle]

[turbid locust]

yote swap the world

[shell saddle]

I just got the find the space to fit both of em

[topaz veldt]

yote swap and then tune it to sound like a 2v pushie

[edgy laurel]

$2700 CAD for two FC's, one with a 5.0... seems too good to be true if you want some parts to play with

[shell saddle]

They are basically entirely gutted

Hence why. And neither are running

[edgy laurel]

ok then yeah, that tracks lol

[turbid locust]

yotes at 8K rpm

[topaz veldt]

you can almost not hear the transmission rattle

[turbid locust]

10 speed gaps your shit

[shell saddle]

I've still also got a finish messing about trying to find a large port head for my 1.8T Audi A4 B6

[topaz veldt]

bro huffy has had 10 speeds for like 30 years and ford can't figure it out

[edgy laurel]

this picture inspired me for years. woulda been so fun.

[topaz veldt]

Ford 10 speed i just a 4l60e with spares

[turbid locust]

brrrrr

[topaz veldt]

these are just way too happy

[shell saddle]

I find the 10r80 in the rangers is actually fairly okay.

[topaz veldt]

Ranger?

[shell saddle]

Yeah ranger.

[topaz veldt]

We teleported to fuckin ACE Hardware

[shell saddle]

Again living in town leaves not alot of space for stuff in garages

[topaz veldt]

I live in a town

[shell saddle]

I'm hoping to eventually buy one of my grandparents acreages and build myself a much nicer sized shop/ garage there

[topaz veldt]

@edgy laurel you ever see the tiktok/youtube short whatever of the dude making RX7 noises with a snow shovel?

[edgy laurel]

yeah thats the series 2 front end, i had a series 1. the dream. https://www.streetmachine.com.au/features/6-litre-ls-swapped-mazda-rx8

[topaz veldt]

you've seen my stupid 427 yah?

[edgy laurel]

i've seen plenty of car sounds videos but i don't think that one, i'll find it

[topaz veldt]

its hilarious I can't find it

[brisk jolt]

[frank zealot]

Hahaha

I can't link to rollingstone's article on Elon cuz it's warshipped

[topaz veldt]

Oh noes we need a leftist publication on Elon Musk how will we sleep tonight

[arctic bronze]

wait what, im confused lol

[nova trout]

When I load xmp it changes oc settings for cpu too is that normal

[turbid locust]

I find it really weird how some people just cannot fathom people have different performance expectations out of their pc

Just saw a post like “everyone with a 50 series gpu is stupid my 2080 runs everything fine”

like maybe youre okay with 2080 performance but.. lmao

[brisk jolt]

20 fps propaganda

[topaz veldt]

i mean maybe they just play sim city 2000

[arctic bronze]

2080 isnt super bad, but it gets over shadowed easily now days lmao

[nova trout]

I believe it has to do with some type of superiority complex

[arctic bronze]

makes so sense

you cant have a superiority complex with a 2080

[brisk jolt]

2080 super:
2080ti:

come out bro we wont jump you

[nova trout]

To you
The guy thinks he’s superior is the theory

[arctic bronze]

back in 2019 yeah, but now nowdays lol

[turbid locust]

2080 is 5050 performance lol

[nova trout]

You don’t think so others might

[brisk jolt]

he belongs to AMD’s marketing department

I curse him with a 9060XT 8gb in the future

as he said, 2080 is fine for him so the 8gb variant should as well

[arctic bronze]

5050 is weaker, but not my very much, about 10% based off of this video: https://youtu.be/B6_YKBaTqis?si=ura9stZZMw5D_Yk7

[turbid locust]

I trust techpowerup more than a random youtube channel

[nova trout]

I trust a random YouTube channel more than jaytwocents

Wait what

[turbid locust]

Same thing

[nova trout]

You need to try this tool or else your pc will not function worse

[wraith steeple]

Jayz takes are very baffling to say the least

[turbid locust]

He’s made like 14 “dO rAm TiMiNgS mAtTeR?!?!” Videos where he just compares EXPO profiles so

[brisk jolt]

“get a load of this guy”

https://tenor.com/view/dudidam-mambo-matikane-tannhauser-vtuber-dance-gif-253137180940701003

[nova trout]

Expo/xmp is the only thing that matters
Its is the only standard
There’s none else.

I mean if they fail the ram is bad period

[turbid locust]

[nova trout]

It’s time to sell your pc and buy a new computer

[wraith steeple]

Not just that. Even his WCing takes and advice I find very questionable

[turbid locust]

I hope my computer is fast enough to play Borderlands 4

[wraith steeple]

And Chip's Challenge

[nova trout]

The best snake oil salesmen are the ones that convince you you need it even tho you know you only need the skin - sun tzu art of tech YouTube channels

[brisk jolt]

No, you need a 6090

With a threadripper 9995WX

[nova trout]

Don’t forget to use fan control

Even though every mobo probably have their software to control fans

He’s like obsessed with that tool

[brisk jolt]

name me one that isnt utter trash

[nova trout]

Idk my asrock gets the job done with a fan curve and all

[turbid locust]

Tbf fan control is amazing

I OC too much to rely on bios fan curves

[nova trout]

It is I like the profile export part for when I nuke windows

[nova trout]

No not in bios my mobo has one for os

It’s not bad

[turbid locust]

meh

[nova trout]

I didn’t like fan control ui

Function wise very cool

I’m using this rn

[young void]

[nova trout]

I prefer fan control function wise but this has cleaner look

[turbid locust]

It’s just kind of a set and forget type deal that I like

My only complaint with fan control is the fact they use HWMonitor for temp sensors

Which is limited

I would like to create a fan curve based on my ram temp sensors but can’t cause it doesn’t see em

[pure garnet]

did you get a 6400 setup good mac

[turbid locust]

Still working on it

[pure garnet]

i got my cpu dialed so hopefully i can just turn on xmp tomorrow and enjoy my pc

[turbid locust]

Trying to figure out if my cpu is happy at 6400c26 or not

[pure garnet]

still gonna karhu for a couple hours though minimum

[wraith steeple]

That alone is why I use Aquasuite over Fan Control. Other than that, for air cooled builds Fan Control is fantastic...... (ba-dum-tis)

[pure garnet]

tried signalrgb today bc i didnt wanna instal icue and it seems fine

i don't like the ads though

[wraith steeple]

See what I did there?

[turbid locust]

Man I want to water cool really bad but it’s so expensive for what it is tbh

[pure garnet]

direct die 9800x3d mmhm

[turbid locust]

Plus I would like to not take a $2000 gpu apart

[pure garnet]

i buy a new cpu for sleep, i shut it down out of habit from the broken one

[frank cypress]

no balls

are you really a pc guy if you've never custom looped

[pure garnet]

you are the arbiter of poor financial decisions

[frank cypress]

it makes me feel better about my own

[wraith steeple]

Perfectly fair. I find it hard to believe that I've been doing this for about as long as some folks here have been alive

[frank cypress]

noooo bass we must shame him into doing it

[pure garnet]

water cooling looks sick but i’ve never owned hardware good enough to justify the expense of doing it

like who is putting a 4070 under water?

[frank cypress]

he has a 5090 and a 9800x3d so he might as well now

[pure garnet]

the 9800x3d isn’t worth blocking tbh

need 9950x3d for aura

[frank cypress]

but the aura of a full custom loop

like if you're already doing your gpu you might as well

🙏

you cant tell me these aren't sexy

[turbid locust]

Tbh neither is the 5090. Not like it gets hot as is, and there’s little OC headroom at ambient temps anyway

If I water cooled it would solely be for acoustics

[frank cypress]

its time to get a chiller too then

[pure garnet]

i hate rgb

[frank cypress]

buy it from fzr

[turbid locust]

FzR asked me if I wanted a chiller recently lol

yeah

[frank cypress]

I run mine without the rgb on

[frank cypress]

you need it

[pure garnet]

if the trident z rgb stick turns on at night i’m buying a solid steel side panel case

[frank cypress]

you think thats bad?

try owning a 2080ti strix

[turbid locust]

@pure garnet I’m having the weirdest issue. At lower primary timings under the stress test the system just fuckin freezes

[frank cypress]

shit has a power led thats brighter than the sun

[turbid locust]

It doesn’t error, it just freezes

[frank cypress]

for 0 good reason

[pure garnet]

i had my windows explorer crash while i used it earlier mid test

but i’ve had 0 issues since then and it passed vt3 for 6h

might’ve just been a too much load thing?

[frank cypress]

man ill never get over the aura of my pc when I had 3 2080tis 🥲

[pure garnet]

i accidentally let karhu start with 30000mb set on a 32gb system earlier too so that about took the pc out

[frank cypress]

maybe i should buy another 3 to get over my loss

[pure garnet]

i put my 4070 in my other pc so i can game on it now

4070+12900ks is a pretty solid setup

[frank cypress]

solid fr

what're you using it for now?

[pure garnet]

playing games while i stress test my 265k pc

[frank cypress]

fair

[pure garnet]

after that i don’t know tbh

[frank cypress]

htpc?

could be kinda baller

[pure garnet]

i can just dualboot linux on my main pc since 5 nvmes and 20 cores

i might just sell it honestly, i may be moving pretty far when i graduate

[wraith steeple]

I'm unsure of what to put in that Antec Performance 1 FT

[frank cypress]

fair

[pure garnet]

having 2 full size desktops and my thinkcenter seems unreasonable to take with me

[frank cypress]

its time for big boy tech

get the new threadripper pros

🙏

@turbid locust ok I thought of a good compromise

you should just watercool just your ram

[turbid locust]

naw

[frank cypress]

give it a full 360mm rad

[pure garnet]

use the nzxt gpu adapter on the ram

i thought about getting that for my 2060 over covid because it kept overheating

got a 6700 xt instead

[frank cypress]

brother turned to the dark side 😭

https://tenor.com/view/anakin-starwars-darthvader-gif-5533636

[pure garnet]

i didn’t pay for it so

i wasn’t gonna be like hey yeah get me a 3070 for $100 more please

[frank cypress]

oh ok fair

radeons are fair game if its free

[wraith steeple]

I actually do have two cases that would be a better fit for a Threadripper build. My Corsair 7000D Airflow and Meshify 2 XL

[frank cypress]

do it

[pure garnet]

maybe i get a meshify 2 as my next case

i liked my meshify c a fair bit

[frank cypress]

fractal does make nice cases

[wraith steeple]

They released the Meshify 3 series not too long ago

[pure garnet]

my h5 flow is a bit cramped and i literally bent it during the master install
so im kinda in the market

oh i’ll have to check it out then

[frank cypress]

I think for my next case id get a define 7 or a lianli a3 wood

there is something sexy about a full steel side panel

no more silly gamer nonsense

[wraith steeple]

https://youtu.be/IgYXgWq1YQo?si=HHbmjEMJMVhHV9Sf

[pure garnet]

maybe i get the xl

360 up top would be good

[wraith steeple]

Interesting that Fractal decided to do an optional radiator mount for the side

[frank cypress]

I really like those ek flat res ngl

[frank cypress]

its like a 5000d almost

[wraith steeple]

Yeah, it actually has the same rad compatibility as the 5000D Frame

not taking thickness into account

https://youtu.be/yS8fsytbWP8?si=6FxPfqQ4eHOFLxsI

[zenith fog]

my hotspot temps on my gpu are getting to 111c is that bad

[arctic bronze]

not good lol

whats the gpu and how long has it been since you repasted it

[zenith fog]

temp is 79c but my hotspot is 107 rn

[nova trout]

Yes i remember now my major problem with the sensors reading thing it doesn’t see what I expect it to see or read their rpm just weird
That makes sense why

[zenith fog]

my gpu is a 7900xtx, I got it used

[brisk jolt]

I’d do a repaste, what model specifically?

[arctic bronze]

https://youtu.be/UOF_7hSWSJg?si=YMExLxQZLCQDVGKt

random OG video pops up

[brisk eagle]

4 fps

[arctic bronze]

its 2009 for alpha mc XD

[frosty prism]

my rpi 2 could do way more

[arctic bronze]

bruh

[brisk eagle]

Yea def on a single core intel atom

[arctic bronze]

id hope so

[arctic bronze]

no, just a different era of peformance back then

[brisk eagle]

Intel atom released in 2009

[arctic bronze]

yeah?

[frosty prism]

i have a passive pc with one in it and my god is it slow

it does not even have VM support so its kinda just a brick im not sure what to do with

[zenith fog]

power color red devil

[brisk jolt]

repaste and test

[zenith fog]

aight

[frosty prism]

PTM

[gloomy vault]

radeons always had pretty bad hotspots

30 degree delta is on the high side though

[frosty prism]

mine was like 60

Isn't that down to the manufacturer of the card

the manufacturers who made the cooler

https://tenor.com/view/zachypooh-downy-gif-22372095

my 9070xt hotspot is +30c from the core

I just realized

[brisk jolt]

nvidia 50 series with no hotspot:

[scarlet iron]

what the fuck will AMD name their next gen if they're on 9000 series now

[brisk jolt]

probably some fuckass naming scheme

[scarlet iron]

no one's going to buy an Rx 10090xt

fuckass name

[brisk jolt]

they cant make up their mind if they want to keep the leap gen being APUs or just slap a G like they should

[brisk jolt]

69420XT

[analog bear]

theyre probably gonna change the rx to smth else

[scarlet iron]

they can't pull a Samsung when they went from the 10 to 20

[wraith steeple]

11000 though who knows.....

[scarlet iron]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-scared-gif-27466237

[wraith steeple]

AMD's naming scheme is laughably shitty

[scarlet iron]

brochaco what gpu do you have "I have the brand new eleven thousand nine hundred XT"

[brisk jolt]

tf yall on higher number better

RX 7400 beats 5090

For my thing anyway, I....
I need to talk to the guy at the store again

[scarlet iron]

genuinely what the fuck could AMD name their next gen gpu's I can't think of any without them infringing on Nvidia's naming scheme

I mean they already do but going back to like 1090xt but then what will they do when they reach 5000

https://tenor.com/view/plink-cat-meme-stare-staring-gif-27529560

they also can't go to 3 digit gpu's cuz of their previous gpus

@merry stirrup arrowlake go brrrr

a friend of mine running 9000cl36 on a taichi ocf

[proper sedge]

contemplated buying the MS-01 after seeing linus review it
will probably use it as a homelab (and perhaps as a NAS once I get some extra drives)
https://www.minisforum.uk/products/minisforum-ms-01?variant=47387413020950

the i5 variant runs for ~£500 atm so I'm wondering if its a worthy purchase hmmmm

[frank zealot]

How will you use a pc with almost no drive capacity as a nas

[proper sedge]

once I get some extra drives

just throw in a SATA expansion card I guess

[frank zealot]

If you need a tiny workhorse, minisforum are great, but as general use systems? Eh

[frank zealot]

And put drives where

[proper sedge]

just don't use 3.5 inch drives :)

[frank zealot]

And put 2.5's where

[proper sedge]

tape them to a bracket or something I dunno
jank ftw

[frank zealot]

Does it have enough sata plugs and psu space for that

[proper sedge]

eh tbh idk it was just a silly intrusive thought I had
it has a PCIe slot so you can always just slap a SATA expansion card in, or an M.2 one I guess

[frank zealot]

And power supply?

[proper sedge]

DC 19V

I can't imagine the PSU takes up a whole lot of space internally

[frank zealot]

R/wooooosh

[proper sedge]

..... what even was the joke being made here

[frank zealot]

No joke, but you still missed the point

[edgy laurel]

none, in fact

[frank zealot]

Where are you getting enough sata power connections and wattage to run a nas off that box

19V doesn't mean anything

[proper sedge]

it was an intrusive thought
I didn't exactly sit there thinking it through that deeply

[edgy laurel]

there are ways, if it ever comes to it

[frank zealot]

Sure, but half the point of these tiny pcs is to be clean and self contained.

Once you start going squid, they're just less useful itx pcs

[fringe vigil]

whos excited

[edgy laurel]

🤷‍♂️ just saying, if you happen to have it already for other reasonsand want to add drives later, there are ways

repurposing

[frank zealot]

That's fair I suppose

[edgy laurel]

curious, if you were to add something like this later, how each drive is accessed https://www.sybausa.com/shop/it-products/external-multi-bay-hdd-enclosure/usb-4-0-40gbps-type-c-8-bay-2-5-inch-and-3-5-inch-sata-hard-drive-external-hard-drive-enclosure-sy-enc50129/

says it doesn't support RAID/NAS functions on the device, which is good, so does each drive get passed through individually over the single USB4 link?

[granite dirge]

i think, i just saved myself, some, cpu resources, so i dont need to have signal rgb installed anymore, thanks for telling me where to look yesterday guiltyspark

[edgy laurel]

I have no idea what I did lol

[pure grail]

10/10 company name they probably got it before its new slang

[granite dirge]

you told me what to use in the bios, yesterday on how to turn off rgb, and it worked, when i jsut did it now, so now i can unistal signal rgb

[edgy laurel]

Ohh

[edgy laurel]

Syba been around a long time, i'm not even sure what the slang would be

[edgy laurel]

Nice

its all clean and rgb free.

I dislike that intel still calls the igpu "Intel Graphics" even though it's Arc Xe cores

[topaz veldt]

Amazing. https://share.google/akmhqQAQlcbk4pcBp

[edgy laurel]

i get it, the latter doesn't mean anything to most people

[edgy laurel]

wtf

[frank zealot]

At least call it Intel ARC Graphics

[oak vector]

This cannot be real…

[frank zealot]

Wondering who was getting paid off

Cuz a shiny 100k bonus is nice

He'll, if that offer is still available, I'll throw in lifetime support

[pure grail]

its real, but pretty much everyone immediately assumed that it was a launder
or splitting the money to definitely not pc parts purposes

[shell void]

this looks better in white than it does in black IMO

AMD did fix idle util pretty well

idling at 4-7w ain't bad

[frail cradle]

hi ltt'ers what is the cheapest 27' inch monitor i should buy? i want it for a racing sim.

[frank zealot]

what res and refresh you after

[frail cradle]

just 1080p

i guess 144hz

i only have 3060 12gb

[frank zealot]

1080? Why so big?

lower res at 27+ starts to look ugly

[frail cradle]

i dont know much bout screens tbh

[gusty lichen]

bobby its you

[frail cradle]

i just dont feel like i need a 1440p monitor

i never run games that high anyway

[frank zealot]

well, you're gonna have a hard time finding good recs, since most people won't by 27+ 1080 screens...

But you should be able to find something relatively cheap

[frail cradle]

what does recs mean? Reccomendations?

[frank zealot]

just look for IPS and 144+hz

[frail cradle]

alr

[frank zealot]

yes recs = reccomendations

[shell void]

in most parts of the world it's not worthwhile to buy a 1080p monitor in 2025

1440p has reached dirt cheap pricing

and upscaling nullifies the performance argument

[frank zealot]

DLSS FTW

[frail cradle]

still i only have 3060 12gb 🥲

[frank zealot]

and?

[brave panther]

i paid 130 for lenovo 1440p 180hz 27 inch ips monitor

[frail cradle]

where

[shell void]

yeah so you have plenty of vram and access to dlss

[brave panther]

local shop

[frail cradle]

cool

[frank zealot]

what's wrong with a 3060?

[frail cradle]

Idk, just a lot of people saying its not that good

[frank zealot]

you're talking to idiots

[frail cradle]

bro i bought a wayyyyy too god cpu for my gpu

pmo

[shell void]

i mean it's not a powerful card by 2025 standards, but it's good enough to justify a 1440p monitor

[frank zealot]

and realistically other than a couple of tech add ons, it's not really much slower than a 5060

[shell void]

960p -> 1440p (dlss quality on a 1440p monitor) will outperform 1080p dlaa and can look better while doing it

1080p monitors are more or less dead

[frail cradle]

AOC Q27G4X 27" i found this for dirt cheap

like 130 dollar less than it normally is

[shell void]

5060 is substantially more powerful

[frail cradle]

140*

[shell void]

it's a shame that 5060 only has 8GB of vram because it's not a bad card at all

[brave panther]

bought 2

[frail cradle]

i found this for 210 dollars

[analog bear]

ordered my pc and accidentally ordered a white 9070XT instead of a black one 💔

[frail cradle]

fire

shouldnt matter than much right

[frank zealot]

not for performance, but for aesthetics it do

[turbid locust]

skunk build

[analog bear]

lol

i already started a refund on the white one and ordered the black 1 with a credit card

[pure garnet]

8000 kit part 2 out for delivery today

please gskill

[turbid locust]

black build white gpu is meta bro

[shell void]

7600cl38 take it or leave it

[turbid locust]

If it doesn’t work I think it’s your board

[pure garnet]

nah i’ll blame the case and cope

the nzxt is sending bad aura

[frank zealot]

did you expect good aura from NZXT?

[shell void]

green fly aura from nzxt

[pure garnet]

meshify 3 looks good

i need to measure and see if the xl will fit in my spot or not because having 360 up top is aura

[brave panther]

what about other way around?

[turbid locust]

Could be cool

[fervent elm]

Standard usually
White cards usually cost more

[turbid locust]

I’ve owned two white GPUs and they were both unintentional

It just kinda worked out that way

Who wouldn't car about the color? Lol.

[frank zealot]

or a bribe

[wise bear]

It is time.

Also g'morning

[ripe flicker]

is there any easy fix to this?

[wise bear]

yeah get a windows installer usb going and boot from that, run a repair

[ripe flicker]

where do I get a windows installer usb?

[wise bear]

you make one with a flash drive and another windows computer

[ripe flicker]

this part for me is very confusing

[wise bear]

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows11

[turbid locust]

@shell void this “low primary freezing” thing? yeah I set tRCD too tight. Meaning the last day of testing has been useless lmao.

[ripe flicker]

can I do this through a phone?

[wise bear]

no lol

[ripe flicker]

do I need to do that w another pc?

[wise bear]

I diiiid already say that, yes

[fringe vigil]

no u dum dum

how you gonna stick usb into a phone

[frank zealot]

I've done it plenty of times

[fringe vigil]

im not surpisred

[frank zealot]

usb A and C

and yes, phones will just detect a usb stick if you plug one in

OTG Adapters also exist

[shell void]

xd

[steel stream]

they'll understand when they are older

[shell void]

it's a valiant sacrifice

[green marsh]

damn, i went through my spare hardware storage and somehow i managed to end up with three unused 2.5 gigabit NICs, one even dualport 😄

[frank zealot]

hoarder

[ripe flicker]

so could I technically do it w a phone?

[frank zealot]

no

the app doesn't run on a phone

[green marsh]

one NIC was for my X570 desktop, which then got replaced by a B650 board which has one built in.
second one was for my server, which got replaced by 10 gigabit NIC.
Third one was for my HTPC where i never installed it in the end LOL

[frank zealot]

were you ever gonna run all 3 at once? lol

I have a usb 2.5 nic, and i think that's the only not-on-motherboard nic around

[ripe flicker]

so I lowkey have to get this fixed? since I can't do it on my own

[frank zealot]

use a pc at school, or work, or a friend's place, or a laptop

you need an 8gb+ thumb drive to make a windows stick

and then a halfway decent internet connection if you don't want the download to take forever

it doesn't take much

[green marsh]

i have only 2 PC s with 2.5 gigabit NIC (router, desktop) and one with 10 gigabit NIC (server), so i can still put them in any of my remaining PCs, just can't be bothered doing it, or "ran" out of PCIe slots in case of the two Z77 ITX boards

[nova trout]

my cpu is 10 degrees cooler with this vs top right fan being exhaust

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kdFQL3t5rmQ

[steel stream]

wdym by this? the picture you showed is top right fan being intake, do you mean you have double exhaust up top?

[nova trout]

i said that wrong

[nova trout]

article has been adjusted thank you for your feedback valued reader

[topaz veldt]

I have a hard time believing your CPU is 10 degrees C cooler with that

[steel stream]

i believe it's cooler, 10c idk but it def is cooler

[topaz veldt]

cooler is one thing but 10c is insane

[nova trout]

same game
65c average temp for cpu after
before 75c

either way, i hope you try it and get a significant improvement

[steel stream]

I no longer air cool, but thanks

[topaz veldt]

Gaming scenes can be very different - the only way would be to run an identical workload with synthetics, I am sure it could be better, but 10C is too much

[shell void]

we have lost the plot

we should not be putting 45-125W APUs in handheld devices and carrying around battery packs with them

[nova trout]

true
but like i said average
And gpu hotspot too dropped from upper 90s to upper 80s

[steel stream]

was about to say, gaming is not a good test, if they wanted smth to really test it would have done stress tests for CPU + GPU at same time\

[topaz veldt]

or if you want to just prove improved CPU tests run a static load on the CPU

[topaz veldt]

(with the same ambient)

[steel stream]

next they're gonna make the screen bigger, then add a keyboard for easier usage, then a trackpad! Wait...

[shell void]

PLEASE buy the ryzen 7600 over the i5 14600k even though it costs more and is worse in every application

[topaz veldt]

lol

[steel stream]

yeah that too, but they just said GPU temps were also improved so might as well test both. But for just CPU yes static load

[shell void]

steve has been getting flamed on twitter for months

[topaz veldt]

you know my thoughts

[nova trout]

for the sake of research i could do that

once i fix my random reboot problem

[low sorrel]

I mean...

It does help battery life

[nova trout]

what tool can i use for stress testing both cpu and gpu

at the same time

[topaz veldt]

r23 and furmark

yup

it kills me that you ditched your 8600mt/s 14900k platform

9950x3d and 285k arent really better xd

[topaz veldt]

eh it was a gamble that didn't pay off

[stoic crater]

yall did not notice the real easter egg in this image

[stoic crater]

which is better though

[slim solstice]

Help. I have macos sonoma on my macbook and it's refusing to display on my monitor via thunderbolt 2

[topaz veldt]

i mean its better for temps by far - 9950X3D doing about the same perf wise and not 350W+

[shell void]

pshh you dont care about that

[topaz veldt]

i sorta do I was only on an AIO

[stoic crater]

is cable thunderbolt?

[shell void]

but youd flash a 1000w vbios in a second if you could

[topaz veldt]

for sure but waterblocked

[slim solstice]

The cable is a MDP cable but it worked in montrey

[shell void]

still 400w more in ur room

[topaz veldt]

but worth it

[stoic crater]

well shit then software issue

[topaz veldt]

That SP107 is prob in someones kids PC

[shell void]

the truth is that it doesnt really matter if youre a tuner

[stoic crater]

apple def smoking crack again

[slim solstice]

Yeah I'm downgrade to version 14 now I'm making the installer

[shell void]

14900K, 285K, and 9950X3D all perform very similarly in most real cases

[slim solstice]

It's a 2015 macbook so no shit

[shell void]

upgrading off of a 13900K from 2022 is more or less pointless

[topaz veldt]

my macbook is nice

[slim solstice]

Which year

[stoic crater]

yes but it's fucked up when you got intel's 5000 types of differently functioning cores compared to one type on the 9950x3d

[topaz veldt]

2024/2025

[stoic crater]

idk why the fuck they even made efficiency cores

[pure garnet]

you realize amd also makes e cores right?

[stoic crater]

you can just make p cores with heavy voltage fluctuation capabilites

[shell void]

the second ccd on ryzen is more or less treated as efficiency cores anyway

[pure garnet]

arm chips also features e cores

[shell void]

you dont want them used in games

[slim solstice]

No shit. What were you thinking. Also is it a macbook air. I tried one in one of the third party retailers store and it was so thin

[topaz veldt]

macbook pro

[pure garnet]

ryzen fans justifying why the entire market should focus only on gaming parts

[shell void]

i think people just dont understand why E cores are good

what youre saying doesnt make sense to me star

[slim solstice]

You could have gotten the air but it is having less ports so ya. It's like the 2015 macbook but it's not a slope it's a flat tablet like laptop

[stoic crater]

well shit uhh

[pure garnet]

are we running the voltages by hand like it's 1812 or something

[slim solstice]

What about u cores

[pure garnet]

computers can handle multiple voltages

[stoic crater]

explain me how e cores work

[slim solstice]

Overclock.

[steel stream]

I graph my freq curves on paper

Imagine. I use the world time travel calculator

[stoic crater]

what even caused the post 12th gen faults

[shell void]

vcore spikes

[stoic crater]

on intel

[shell void]

spiking up to 1.6v+ and degrading the cpu over time

[pure garnet]

overshoot from vid requests too

1.6 bin chips turned into like 1.7

[shell void]

yeah overshooting and supplying way too much vcore

[stoic crater]

how many volts are normaly

Im usually used to tdp and watts

since I ain't dabble too much in pc parts

[pure garnet]

might not be time to complian about e cores yet then

[shell void]

i raise my eyebrow at anything over 1.45v for cores

[stoic crater]

ye i got that part

[stoic crater]

@shell void

[pure garnet]

with dlvr my 265k shows vids of 1.6 but it's not getting anything close to it

[shell void]

0.8-1.45v depending on what the cpu is doing

and what sku youre looking at

ryzen 9 and i9 are practically max overclocked right out of the box and use a lot of voltage on their best cores to reach high clocks

[brisk jolt]

how tf I feel after reinstalling drivers, trying the 9070xt, repairing windows just to find out its a riot games issue:

[shell void]

i dont like that cpus will go right up to 1.46v out of box, that freaks me out

the clockspeed war needs to stop

[pure garnet]

my ram is at the mailbox michael

i will pick it up in a few minutes

[shell void]

spectacular

that's 8000cl38 1.35vdd right

it should be 200s boost compatible

[pure garnet]

yeah

but i had to drop my d2d to 30 on 1.2v vscca

i actually ran stability tests this time

[topaz veldt]

The air is not as good audio or screen, I wanted the M4 and 16GB with the faster refresh screen and better speakers

you might be able to play a game on that computer

the 13700k sound

[turbid locust]

straight into windows

[pure garnet]

the master bios confidently lying about the CORSAIR ram vendor

[slim solstice]

Yay

[pure garnet]

should i be worried that my 1.8v line is reporting as 1.75v

[topaz veldt]

thats a weird voltage drop on that line

[pure garnet]

that’s what my tomahawk did

[steel stream]

never seen this before

[pure garnet]

oh no keyboard hooked up? accept defaults and launch windows immediately

[topaz veldt]

I turned everything ultra and forgoet i had DLAA, got 27 fps

[pure garnet]

wow the trident z heatsinks are garbage

[topaz veldt]

ehhh

[pure garnet]

48c at 1.35v in karhu 6 min in

[topaz veldt]

Thats the temp I get on 8000 CL32 w/ 1.6v

[shell void]

fan when?

[pure garnet]

debating on the aourus doohickey or a real fan

[shell void]

id like to know how effective the gigabyte board fan is

[pure garnet]

if i do real fan i’ll probably just wait till i order the meshify to get another a12

my side panel doesn’t like coming off much

[topaz veldt]

even modest airflow helps

[pure garnet]

i have 2 intake fans pointing at it right now

i could grab a p12 if i need but i was hoping to be rid of them for a bit

[shell void]

install the doohickey

[pure garnet]

no im waiting 4 hours for xmp to test stable first

so i can not question the gigabyte board any longer

for this specific thing*

this board is the most $250 feeling $600 msrp board i've ever used

[topaz veldt]

Yeah the gigabyte boards do not feel great

[pure garnet]

i just don't get why the bios will just persist settings at random

[topaz veldt]

persist at random/

[pure garnet]

like i shut 200s off and it didn't actually turn it off, it still had a trefi i set on a completely different ram kit, voltages don't clear without manual intervention, and now it just kept the xmp profile from my a die kit until i hit cmos reset

like on my other boards if i load xmp 1 or whatever, it'll go and clear all the dram voltages i set but not on this board

[ripe flicker]

so I lowkey can't use my cp for a while

[pure garnet]

1000% coverage yippie

the patriot kit getting delisted is quite the tell all though

[topaz veldt]

% is sort of irrelevant

you want hours

[pure garnet]

i'm letting it run for hours but this is also the furthest i've gotten on this board on a decent speed

with my other kit it was dying like like 20-30s, maybe 5 min if i got lucky

You can fix it today if you put in some effort

Finally got this mounted correctly.

Totally half assed using a slot cover as a brace

[arctic bronze]

ill give it a 4/5 so you have somthing to work towards

[frank zealot]

Fuck, need to go mess with the bios

Bifurcation isn't on yet

[ripe flicker]

the thing is I got no access to another device like from a friend or something

[frank zealot]

If you put some brainpower towards it, I bet you can figure it out

[pure garnet]

call a computer repair shop and ask if they can make you a windows usb if you bring a flash drive

@shell void did i tell you that the x540 just works in windows 11 with the complete pack driver now

[frank zealot]

Bifurcation enabled. Let's see if that works

[shell void]

nop

[pure garnet]

yeah no more downloading an ancient installer

just using device manager like bill gates intended

[shell void]

im a filthy wifi chud at the moment but i will keep that in mind

[pure garnet]

i think i'll get the white meshify 3

pretty nice looking

[shell void]

you need the havn bf360 if youre gonna be aircooling pilled

i wonder when that will actually launch

[pure garnet]

is some rgb strips worth a $90 upcharge

[shell void]

☠️

[frank zealot]

To the right person yes

To me? Nope

[shell void]

oh?

yeah you need the havn bf360 dood @pure garnet

no more poor cases

[pure garnet]

if it comes out this month i'll look into it

i wasn't really in the case market till i broke mine

[frank zealot]

The havn case looked phenomenal

[frank zealot]

Havn 420 is out now iirc

[shell void]

quad 180x40mm fans is so optimal

havn 420 is an absolute goliath xd

it's cool lookin tho

[pure garnet]

i can't fit a meshify 3 xl under my desk without it sticking out

so i don't think i can get a 420

[shell void]

bf360 isnt a goliath

i mean it's large but the hs420 is hilariously large like the phanteks nv9

[frank zealot]

How's my ssd storage look?

[pure garnet]

is your 14900k eco tune just -100mhz on p and e

[shell void]

naw i was running 4.8P and 3.9E when i was eco tuning

[arctic bronze]

I rate it unpartitioned/10

[shell void]

5.7P and 4.5E for max performance

[frank zealot]

I swapped the beskar coolers onto SN850 2tb sticks

[shell void]

sir you have a few drives

[steel stream]

oh that's dope asf

[frank zealot]

The card is now 8tb lol

[pure garnet]

should be enough for light use

[steel stream]

you can install a couple games on there

hell yeah

[pure garnet]

vertically mounted ssds are cool

[frank zealot]

What think, storage spaces and just stripe them for 8tb?

Okay, 7.26tb after base 10 bullshit

@edgy laurel so optimal

[pure garnet]

another day of using alder lake while i wait for my 265k to get it's act together

I'm vaguely annoyed I can't vertical my GPU anymore, but oh well

[steel stream]

it's trying it's hardest

[edgy laurel]

If only it was black

[topaz veldt]

That looks good - what case?

[edgy laurel]

so akn, Destiny Rising is basically Destiny 3

it feels a little wonky being a mobile game but i've got it running at 4K 120 mostly ok

I do not fuck with the UI, menu and consumable overload of these gatcha style games but i'm trying to just ignore that stuff

[pure garnet]

the ui in d2 can’t be much better tbh

i still open the wrong menu half the time 100 hours in

[edgy laurel]

if I had to play D2 again after 3-4 years away i'd be confused too

it was much more simple back in my day

(after 4000 hours)

[pure garnet]

i started it recently because my friends all play it

so i’ve kinda just been getting new systems overload

[edgy laurel]

yeah I now know the feeling

[steel stream]

yeah pretty much, I played half of the first mission and decided if I wanted the destiny experience I would just play D2 lol

[turbid locust]

@shell void so it’s looking like I do need 1.6v VDD

but it is what it is

[edgy laurel]

ngl its kinda cool. like a whole new story but in the same universe

[turbid locust]

doubt this is stable btw

[steel stream]

oh for sure, I liked seeing all the brand new loot and stuff, but having all the same enemies just made it feel like why wouldn't I play the version where I've got some OP gear you know

raid was cool though

[edgy laurel]

i just don't wanna think about that game and all the stuff ive missed LMAO

mentally i'm ok with starting fresh with everyone else lol

[steel stream]

valid

I just barely have enough decent loot and game knowledge to play D2

but give it like 6 months and I won't know anything anymore

I am curious to see how it plays on my phone though

[edgy laurel]

it was smooth as hell on my 16PM

but looked and ran like ass on my ipad 10

which is basically a iphone 12 underneath

I just can't play games on my phone, screen is so damn small

[turbid locust]

I’ve always wanted to try Destiny 2 but feel like I’m too late lol

[edgy laurel]

do what i'm doing, play what is basically Destiny 3 but a mobile game lol

[turbid locust]

mobile game 🥱

[edgy laurel]

it is.. but its very good for what it is when playing on PC at 4K120

i'm impressed

UI is a bit of a mess

[steel stream]

I'll teach you sir

[steel stream]

very iron lord heavy this game right?

[turbid locust]

I have all the DLC I think cause it was free on epic or something

[edgy laurel]

the beginning of the campaign i'm in now is, yeah. its like a whole iron lord stronghold thats the new "tower"

[steel stream]

imagine they bring back Siva in this game but not in D2

[shell void]

@edgy laurel it comes in black
@topaz veldt it’s the Havn BF360

[shell void]

[edgy laurel]

I'm just impressed so far with the level of detail in the patrol spaces and strikes. it feels like a full game inside a mobile game wrapper, its very strange

[turbid locust]

I’d be down lol

[steel stream]

I've got some time this weekend honestly

[turbid locust]

I think I lied idk if I have any DLC lol

[ripe flicker]

thanks currently 3am in the mornin rn so js gettin some ideas on what to do

[pure garnet]

you don’t need the dlc tbh

[pure garnet]

you can do the main power grind without

[fringe vigil]

Which game

[pure garnet]

so you’re just missing the campaigns and 3 subclasses

[fringe vigil]

Oh

[pure garnet]

destiny 2

[fringe vigil]

I grinded for the gun

[edgy laurel]

ahh yes, the gun

[steel stream]

yeah don't remember? the gun

[green marsh]

sometimes i just wonder about people selling older intel CPUs, like how do they even come up with the prices they ask for.

Like they ask $45-$70 for an i7-6700T at minimum... But at same time one can buy let's say a Dell Optiplex 7040 with same CPU, plus 16GB RAM, plus the motherboard and chasiss... for $85 🤷‍♂️

[edgy laurel]

i miss exotic weapons quests.

[pure garnet]

halo intel products retain value really well to the point of absurdity

[edgy laurel]

Outbreak and for some reason Hawkmoon quests are coming back to me now

[green marsh]

but they don't, as i just shown an example, where some price the CPU at value a whole system with that CPU sells for

[steel stream]

same bud, same. whisper and outbreak were so good. The newer ones are ok, I enjoyed the most recent Vex one

[edgy laurel]

OG Whisper was the best. Unknown, not advertised. Someone just found something weird and it went viral

[pure garnet]

im scrolling through ebay completed and 40-50 for loose cpus seems to be the going rate

[steel stream]

we need more hidden shit, Bungie seems to be really adverse to doing that nowadays

[pure garnet]

which seems to be a fairly good value hold on a 9 generation old low power part

[edgy laurel]

That and somehow bring back excitement for random drops. I get targeted loot pools and all that, but I look back at D1 players getting Gally to drop in the wild on random chance and that must have felt so good

[pure garnet]

i'm at the power cap now where every world drop i get is basically useless

it's all 200 gear, only specific new season stuff drops upgrades

[edgy laurel]

it seems power in general is useless now

[pure garnet]

they crushed the power so that's ~2300 in the old system

[steel stream]

yeah only really found in raid exotics now, we need weapon exotics that are random drops which significantly change the meta

[green marsh]

and for full system... well, i guess i will leave dad with the i3-6100T, at least i will upgrade his RAM to 16GB, storage to NVMe + possibly SATA SSD (undecided yet). He uses it only for web browsing anyway

[pure garnet]

well yeah i know whole systems are cheap

that's why i bought a whole optiplex over a z97 board

[green marsh]

hell, even with 6700T sometimes

[pure garnet]

no wait z68

old intel chipsets are not my forte

[hoary hatch]

Wait old Skylake ewaste is worth that much?

[pure garnet]

yeah

[green marsh]

sadly yes

[pure garnet]

6700k was like 70 bucks still and it's borderline useless

[hoary hatch]

Well 6700k I'd put in a different price category as general Skylake

[green marsh]

this is still the stupidest one

9900K constantly sells over $200 😄

[pure garnet]

yeah i9 tax is real

even though basically any modern platform would be way nicer

[green marsh]

not even talking about 9900ks

[frank zealot]

I had to laugh at this poor bastard

[edgy laurel]

love that

[lime salmon]

jesus

[frank zealot]

This is why meshing is evil

[vestal granite]

a classic

[frank zealot]

Is that a Compaq Presario keyboard

[vapid belfry]

Hey guys need recommendation

I'm running a ryzen 5 5600x and rtx 5070

Looking to upgrade to 1440p, now I really would like to go 1440p Ultrawide but would it be feasible considering my specs?

Or should I just go regular 1440p..

[steel stream]

1440p ultrawide will be fine

I gamed with a 4070 at 4K for a long while

[pure garnet]

yeah 5070 will be great for 1440 uw

[steel stream]

worst comes to worst slap on some FG or transformer DLSS quality

[frail cradle]

Does anyone have a sim rig with one monitor, how do you hold it up infront of ur rig?

[topaz veldt]

I'm excited for Indy DLC

[vapid belfry]

Thanks everyone ☺️

[frank zealot]

most rigs have monitor mounts

what are you referring to as a "sim rig"

[steel stream]

oh same, especially since I have a PT capable GPU this time round

[frail cradle]

The one I bought doesn’t have that

It’s right beside my desk tho so I’m thinking a monitor arm from there

[frank zealot]

is that what you're getting the 27" monitor for?

[frail cradle]

Uh

[green marsh]

btw sometimes i am amazed at the lengths prebuilt/AIO manufacturers go to make their systems less capable.

The AIO my dad has is a Skylake CPU + H110 chipset. That means you got 16x 3.0 + 6x 2.0 lanes, right ?

Best version would have an MXM slot for a GPU with 3.0 x8 bandwidth, that would leave 8x 3.0 + 6x 2.0 lanes for other tasks right ? Right ?

Meanwhile Lenovo in their infinite wisdom:

[frail cradle]

Yeah?

[frank zealot]

that's gonna feel really small

[frail cradle]

Gulp

[green marsh]

but ok, i get it, the ethernet takes one lane away, the wifi takes one lane away. Still not sure where the remaining lanes went 😄

[frail cradle]

Why

Im used to 24 inch 😭

[frank zealot]

bucause you won't have a monitor that's 24" from your face

[frail cradle]

Brooo

Idk anymore

I mean I haven’t bought it yet tho

[frank zealot]

do your damned homework

[frail cradle]

Bro I don’t know shit

What size should I get then

[frank zealot]

THEN LEARN
Do some damned research

there are hundreds of YT Videos and Dozens (or more) Discord servers talking about racing and sim rigs and shizz

[frail cradle]

I can’t find one that’s active 😭

[frank zealot]

Do some legwork and learn something about what you're about to sink hundreds and hundreds of dollars into

[frail cradle]

I Cba rn tbh

Too late for this

[frank zealot]

then don't ask us to do your work for you

[frail cradle]

I was just asking chill out dude

[frank zealot]

if you're not willing to try on your own, we're not doing your fucking work for you

https://www.reddit.com/r/simracing/wiki/buyingguide/
Since it took me 10 seconds to find this, I'll post it anyways.

[frail cradle]

I forgot about Reddit ngl

Sorry

[turbid locust]

I dont think im gonna be able to do tight primaries on this 9800X3D

I have a few question about fiber is someone good at that

[steel stream]

yes eat more fiber

[fringe vigil]

she’s actually so mid lol

[rotund elk]

I cant eat glass 🤔

[steel stream]

vegetables

[rotund elk]

Ah

Lmao

Seriously i want to know how fiber optics work like how to setup a network

[topaz veldt]

what do you want to know

UV affected epoxy resin, out with the old in with the new

[brave panther]

i do posess acient knowlege of blinking lights very fast

[rotund elk]

Okay here hows im gonna do it i have a few apartments i rent out today there are fiber optics going into each apartment and each tendent has to get its own isp but i want to do a shared network like include internet into the rent how should I do that
Run cat cable everywhere?? Thats so much work

[topaz veldt]

if each tenant has to get their own ISP then you don't do anything

[dull turtle]

https://discord.com/channels/375436620578684930/1412177884293890179

im begging for help

[rotund elk]

Ye but i want to give them free internet included

[topaz veldt]

ok

[vestal granite]

i think hes sayin thats how it is now but he wants one ISP plan split to all of the apartments because of for because.

[topaz veldt]

that is a huge liability

[vestal granite]

i love 10mbps

[rotund elk]

My thought was some sort of SFP switch there are a converter inside each apartment already

[fringe vigil]

cookie

[rotund elk]

Yes

[vestal granite]

but yes somewhere there is a patch doohickey that the ISPs would fiddle around with that runs the fiber connects to each apartment already and if its a larger building it probably has that in a closet somewhere

[fringe vigil]

unicorn looking ah

[vestal granite]

so the cables would already be run and then you click click boop connect those cables wherever they are to a switch connected to your network

[rotund elk]

Na its a small building 6 apartments

[topaz veldt]

de-winged

[brave panther]

Fiber cabling is incredibly expensive if you need to splice it, our installer charges us about 10-20$ per splice for big jobs
copper for in building is so much cheaper

[low sorrel]

I bought a new keyboard fromm taobao

[topaz veldt]

he's talking about media converters

[low sorrel]

guess how long the shipping wait is

[topaz veldt]

they're like $15/ea and shitty

[dull turtle]

https://discord.com/channels/375436620578684930/1412177884293890179 🥺 please linusoloids

[topaz veldt]

maybe if you spam more someone will help

[rotund elk]

I would want a 8 sfp port switch but idk if there are better ways to do it

[pure garnet]

here’s one solution: buy new computer

[topaz veldt]

you are going to put peoples houses on the same layer 2 network?

[rotund elk]

Yes kinda

[topaz veldt]

also simply putting an SFP switch in does nothing regarding providing internet to them

[vestal granite]

ultimately you should probably just contact your ISP and ask them if they have a solution to this because they probably do this 10,000 times a day

[pure garnet]

putting 6 homes on one shared connection sounds like an awful idea

[topaz veldt]

yep

[pure garnet]

one person’s steam download is killing everyone else’s connection

[topaz veldt]

wait until someone downloads something illegal and its 6 families liable

[rotund elk]

Ah thanks is there a better way to do it i just want to include internet into the rent

[vestal granite]

your ISP would know if theres a better way to do it

[rotund elk]

Like they dont have to get a isp

[brave panther]

run copper cat6a cable to each apartment to a centralised place
on managed switch (these are cisco commands) enable port-isolation ethernet
in each apartment place access point

[pure garnet]

yeah i’d call the isp

[topaz veldt]

that's not how this works

[topaz veldt]

and then provide them with routing information? lunacy

[rotund elk]

Well thats annoying i hate that option but if i have to do that then okay sure

[pure garnet]

would it not just be have 6 plans managed by 1 person and include cost of internet in rent

[topaz veldt]

knock knock hey we have your IP download illegal materials

[vestal granite]

believe it or not your ISP is usually people who do this professionally

[brave panther]

or put them on separate vlan which would be terminated on a firewall with independent NAT

[topaz veldt]

So now there is a multi-interface firewall involved? Dude isn't even sure how to connect these things together, now he's an enterprise?

BTW - there is likely a ToS violation by sharing a connection between residences

[vestal granite]

i know there are apartment complexes that do actually share a plan and im sure theyve figured out the liability of it all by having the ISP do the setup

[brave panther]

not if you buy business plan

[topaz veldt]

no they usually have a contract with a singular provider, the plan itself is not shared

[topaz veldt]

Yes, a business plan doesn't service multiple addresses

[vestal granite]

share a plan in this sense meaning they have 1000/1000 shared across 1000 units

slight exaggeration

[topaz veldt]

If you're a land lord do not get in the game of playing ISP

[brave panther]

slum lord moment

[vestal granite]

also to be clear i would hate if any landlord had me use their plan this is not a bonus to me

[topaz veldt]

Also means your name is associated with the WAN IP so the police will have your name to go to when someone does something sketch
