[zenith fog]

there were only 2 cables, for the fans

theyve been plugged in properly

[merry stirrup]

upon further investigation in the photo the top layer is not peeled off

[wraith steeple]

How is thermal putty

[zenith fog]

correct, thats the layer I peeled off

[jaunty horizon]

does anyone already have the 25H2 update

[merry stirrup]

and the bottom layer too?

[zenith fog]

there was no bottom layer

just the one backing

[merry stirrup]

huh

[pure garnet]

where did you buy this from

[devout ridge]

given it's been out for like a day now, yes, people do indeed update their windows

[zenith fog]

amazon

[merry stirrup]

thermalright helios

[zenith fog]

correct

[pure garnet]

that has 2 layers

i had some for myself

[zenith fog]

I see

there appears to be a transparent film

[jaunty horizon]

no actually i use the windows insider thing

[zenith fog]

I mustve missed that

[jaunty horizon]

i changed to canary 👿

[merry stirrup]

this is perhaps true

[pure garnet]

that'll do it

[pure garnet]

tiny flathead is your friend

just pop it off from the card

[merry stirrup]

once more to the dissasembly train

[zenith fog]

I was just gonna use a razor blade

[pure garnet]

that'll work

[zenith fog]

if it hasnt melted by now lmao

[pure garnet]

dw if the ptm looks ugly

it'll remelt in place right after

[hoary hatch]

Oh, my phone is telling me to get rid of my 1080Tis

[merry stirrup]

send me the melted one

[zenith fog]

Man I’m dumb

[pure garnet]

happens

[merry stirrup]

perhaps an oopsie

[zenith fog]

I hope it works

[merry stirrup]

it should

my now room mate previously did his in tiny itty bitty little pieces cause he insisted that was easier than getting it to peel

[zenith fog]

I took tweezers to it

[merry stirrup]

just ripped it off and placed it on the die in like 50 million pieces

[zenith fog]

Took me literally 2 seconds

[merry stirrup]

hes bricked

[turbid locust]

@merry stirrup I’ve fixed everything except the one Vref DQ variation

Mostly because I don’t know which bios option controls it lmao

[merry stirrup]

me neither shawty

it will still blow up

[zenith fog]

I hate how much pressure I have to put on these spring loaded screws

[zenith fog]

Oh yeah much better

Idling at 32c with hotspots at 40

[pure garnet]

the insulation may have been the problem

[zenith fog]

Yes

Not enough heat transfer

[merry stirrup]

if only they didnt design the pad with 2 curious plastic sheets

[pure garnet]

idk why they don’t paint them both blue

and one will always be borderline glued to it in my experience

[zenith fog]

lets go

temps are only at 70c at 500w

[wraith steeple]

[oak vector]

[brisk jolt]

consistent 500w?

[zenith fog]

yes

[brisk jolt]

kinda adds up lowk

If I dont run AC or have the windows closed that thing goes into high 70s

[oak vector]

Idk what we’re talking about but cool

[zenith fog]

saw a max of 550w on my 7900xtx

94c max on the hotspot

[brisk jolt]

look at what he needs to do to mimic a fraction of our power

[oak vector]

Tc1 gonna make me have an aneurysm

[wraith steeple]

When does it not?

[pure garnet]

everytime i open it it’s quite a place

[devout ridge]

It's wild how distinct TC1 and TC2 are

[pure garnet]

does the default invite dump people into tc1

[oak vector]

“What’s the front of the pc case”
Quite literally

[wraith steeple]

Most of us are refugees from the Pc-hardware/build-a-pc chat (not to be confused with the forums)

[topaz veldt]

Lolwut

[wraith steeple]

Back when PC-Hardware was still around, TC2 was dead for the most part

and most of us migrated here after the fact

[devout ridge]

I guess the numerous big words scare away the memers

[pure garnet]

tc1 is also faster

[devout ridge]

wdym?

[pure garnet]

like the chat goes by quicker

[devout ridge]

It has the same cooldown- oh!

[pure garnet]

so i think people are more likely to just stay in there

[devout ridge]

Yeah, you get more responses in TC1, but more constructive responses in TC2

[zenith fog]

I didnt peel the transparent layer off

[brisk jolt]

agreed

[topaz veldt]

I'm a refugee from ZTT

[oak vector]

I’m a dual citizen. Originally from DDD (dawid does discord)

[zenith fog]

well now that its heat soaked my hotspots are getting to 100c

not as bad as before but still a little toasty

I hate share.google.com

[wraith steeple]

was this with the new BIOS too?

How is ASRock taking the piss this badly?

[hoary hatch]

Wake me when 14900k get nice and cheap cheap

I desire a real cpu

[pallid marsh]

You should gamble and buy a used one

[jaunty horizon]

holy shit

poor cpu

[pallid marsh]

Poor wallet

[merry stirrup]

they were

[wraith steeple]

This is also affecting non X3Ds too, right

[merry stirrup]

allegedly

[pallid marsh]

Yup

[brisk jolt]

Im gonna go back and update to 3.40 later

Wait thats in 11 hours fuck

[wraith steeple]

ASrock going from having some of the best offerings on AM5 to this is just....

woof

[brisk jolt]

At least they arent telling people to fuck themselves like Asus did

[wraith steeple]

Gigabyte has been doing good this gen ICL

For motherboards

[brisk jolt]

They make the best white motherboards- No competition

[pallid marsh]

The only complaint with my gigabyte board is my x570 chipest fan dying

[wraith steeple]

I'm interested in that B850 AI Top board. It's basically an Aorus Xtreme on a B850 chipset

Or about as close as it gets

and for $320 USD too is bonkers

[brisk jolt]

I wanna get myself a X870 gigglebutt aorus ice

If my 9800x3d decides to go kaboom it’ll be a good excuse to

the rma centre is like a 5 mins walk from my place xd

[merry stirrup]

and their low end ones are sad

but not as of recent. i mean a ds3h is even fine on am5

[pallid marsh]

How is it AI

[wraith steeple]

[brisk jolt]

gigglebutt marketing department just decided to slap AI on

[wraith steeple]

My best guess is maybe the dual x8 support it has if anyone wants to dual AI stuff, maybe.......

I guess

Dumb name aside, that B850 AI Top boards looks sick from a feature standpoint

[pallid marsh]

8 ram slots for extra ai horse power

[wraith steeple]

There is a TRX50 AI Top with 8 ram slots since most usually have 4

[pallid marsh]

ah yes

ai vrms

[wraith steeple]

In fact the only TRX50 board with 8 ram slots to my knowledge

[jaunty horizon]

is thad nvidia

cuz nvidia is really crazy about AI these days

[pallid marsh]

gigabyte mother board

[jaunty horizon]

oh ok

[wraith steeple]

AI Overclocking

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-you-what-what-did-you-do-spongebob-meme-spongebob-squarepants-gif-19389913

wonder how much ai is really in the ai overlocking

[wraith steeple]

I don't mess with that shit anyways

[turbid locust]

Errored in 10 mins

[hoary hatch]

I mean $100

[fleet marsh]

is $650 for a new 5070 ti good ?

[turbid locust]

Yeah

[jaunty horizon]

is it refurbished it feels like it

[fleet marsh]

no its new from walmart.

[jaunty horizon]

oh that makes sense

[nova trout]

i'm still lost on what to buy for am5

[inner hemlock]

Is this build tuff ?

[turbid locust]

Wdym

[nova trout]

Four different servers
Everyone suggested different parts and each time they’d tell me that’s a bad list here this is better
Personally idk anything about am5 stuff so I’m lost now idk what to go with

[turbid locust]

I mean yeah different people are gonna have different opinions

[nova trout]

Some said don’t get 870e get eagle 650

[turbid locust]

Yeah you don’t need a 800 series board unless you absolutely need the additional features and IO it has

[nova trout]

My build list has changed faces more than some girls do plastic surgeries

[turbid locust]

What is your goal and budget

[nova trout]

Goal is to play games like bf6 without pain and suffering while also having other stuff in background

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/yqjQWc

Someone just made me this

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/W3YRWc this is from yesterday

[frank zealot]

Neat: amd is releasing a 9500F and 9700F

[turbid locust]

Well those lists have a different amount of parts lol

What’s your current pc specs?

[pure garnet]

the only thing i dislike about the b650 eagle is that all the pcie slots are x1

[nova trout]

Ignore everything not cpu mobo and ram because I have the rest

[nova trout]

What does that mean

[pure garnet]

these 3 slots are functionally useless

[nova trout]

R5 3600x
X570 pro4
Having issues not buying am4 I’ll just upgrade to am5

[lyric oyster]

Need new motherboard ram and cpu

[nova trout]

They can’t take WiFi or usb or video capture cards ?

[nova trout]

Ye

[turbid locust]

Do you have access to a microcenter

[nova trout]

40 mins

[turbid locust]

Oh dude just go get a microcenter bundle

[nova trout]

Idk what to get
Idk what cpu is good what cpu is good but not as good

[lyric oyster]

Lucky nearest one is 4 hours away

[pure garnet]

most are x4

[nova trout]

Idk what board is good and what board has better vrms

Idk what board will be great and down the road vrms will kill my cpu

This is too much I’m going insane

[frank zealot]

What do you use pcie for?

[pure garnet]

none of the am5 boards are that bad

[turbid locust]

This does not matter at all

[nova trout]

Capture card idk

[frank zealot]

Most are x1

[turbid locust]

Forget anything anyone has told you about VRMs and shit

@nova trout what is your performance goal? Resolution and framerate. Also what gpu?

[frank zealot]

Gen 4 x1 runs at 1.7GB/s

That's over 10gb nwtworking

[nova trout]

Bro someone yesterday said some boards vrms won’t handle 3dx cpus long term will ruin them because vrms aren’t good enough for that

[pure garnet]

yeah thats wrong

[lyric oyster]

It should be fine

[turbid locust]

Yeah that person has no clue wtf they’re talking about sorry

Where ever you’re getting this information.. run away.

[frank zealot]

Don't get a 610 board and you'll be fine

[pure garnet]

nic

i have a hypercard too but i dont need it on the master

[turbid locust]

I need performance goals, gpu, and budget. That’s all I need.

[frank zealot]

X1 is 10gbps

[pure garnet]

i have an x550

[nova trout]

1440p 144hz
Gpu I can buy good one later rn I have sapphire nitro plus 5700xt
I want to get good cpu and stuff now later I can grab a gpu I need my pc running again
I don’t need to game I just need my pc back up

[nova trout]

Budget for cpu mobo and ram 500$ maybe 700$

For gpu I can buy later not an issue but as much maybe

I want to game and have other monitors doing stuff

[turbid locust]

for $700 you can get a 9800X3D, board, and ram at MC

[pure garnet]

yeah 2nding mc bundle

[lyric oyster]

Obviously you need a threadripper pro 9995wx and a str5 board
Oh and a 6000 workstation card😼 👍 👍

[nova trout]

Ok what’s a good board to pair it with

[turbid locust]

with this being said I think you should spend less and save for a better gpu

[pure garnet]

that's the controller i have disabled on my board i think actually

[turbid locust]

Full honestly I don’t think you should get a 9800X3D

[lyric oyster]

Get a b850 and a 7800x3d

[nova trout]

💀

[pure garnet]

yeah it would be

[lyric oyster]

[nova trout]

See what I meant earlier everyone says different

[frank zealot]

Unless you're getting a very high end gpu?

X3D isn't needed

[nova trout]

How high end is high end

What’s the minimum for high end

[frank zealot]

5080+

[pure garnet]

honestly can i suggest this bundle https://www.microcenter.com/product/5007090/amd-ryzen-5-7600x3d,-asus-b650e-e-tuf-gaming-wifi-am5,-gskill-flare-x5-series-32gb-ddr5-6000-kit,-computer-build-bundle

[pure garnet]

yeah what mac said

[turbid locust]

GANG

[pure garnet]

🤝

i think that's the move for you

[turbid locust]

https://tenor.com/view/bro-code-bro-love-friends-gif-9906684

[pure garnet]

boards decent, cpu is good and you can drop in a better cpu later if you want

[lyric oyster]

This

[turbid locust]

It’s quite the bundle for the money

[nova trout]

How about drop in the better cpu now ?

[pure garnet]

there's no point really

9800x3d would be maybe 15% faster for the entire cost of the bundle combined

[turbid locust]

You don’t have a fast enough gpu for it to matter rn

[nova trout]

I’m confused then why would I drop in something better later

[frank zealot]

Wait for ryzen 11k

[pure garnet]

in like 3-4 years

when you get a new gpu and need a faster cpu

[lyric oyster]

Get a better gpu first frfr

[turbid locust]

That 7600X3D will comfortably handle up to like a 5080 no issue

At 1440p

[pure garnet]

the main "appeal" for am5 is that it's a long life socket

[maiden quiver]

hello, im new here. I have a question regarding AsiaHorse extension cables, ive been searching for reviews and i cant find a lot about them, does anyone know if they are reliable and wont cause problems with an rx 9070?

[pure garnet]

so you get something good now (7600x3d) but can upgrade to something better and newer when needed

[nova trout]

This is my logic :
I can just use it for work and stuff till I can afford good gpu upgrade
But if I’m spending money I might as well get good stuff and not stress over it again in the future

[turbid locust]

That’s our point: you don’t need to spend that much right now lol

[pure garnet]

well you're getting good stuff now too

[frank zealot]

I wouldn't extend 12vhpwr cables

[lyric oyster]

Yeah but like the 7600x3d is plenty 😭

[pure garnet]

we're not saying get something bad now

[turbid locust]

Buying a 9800X3D for a 5700XT is like buying a Ferrari to go get groceries

[pure garnet]

you're getting like the 5th fastest gaming chip

[nova trout]

Ok two questions:

1. why 650 not newest chipset 870
   2.why that board in the bundle I was told eagle is best ones in 650 idk why specifically that board and is there something better boards wise

[maiden quiver]

I wont use the 12vhpwr, my gpu uses 2 8pcie cable

[lyric oyster]

870 overkill

[frank zealot]

You can extend 8 pin no sweat

[nova trout]

I mean spend now better than spend now and again in future and have quarter used cpu by then

[pure garnet]

x870 has no meaningful benefit, that bundle is very cost effective and the board is fine

[maiden quiver]

Thx, do you by any chance know if asiahorse cables are good?

[frank zealot]

They're just fine

[turbid locust]

B650 is more than competent and just as compatible with the latest CPUs. The only advantage x870 has is maybe more USB ports or a faster NIC.

[maiden quiver]

thx :D

[pure garnet]

yeah it has 2 more usb c ports forced but otherwise it's basically the same

[frank zealot]

Why are you trying your hardest to spend more money today?

[nova trout]

Ok and what about knowing how good a board is for the 650 ?

[turbid locust]

The 7600X3D is already overqualified for what you need lol

[lyric oyster]

Tuf is usually midrange

[nova trout]

Because I don’t want to spend more money in the future
Spend now save later

[pure garnet]

you're not saving later though

[nova trout]

What’s better

[turbid locust]

All B650 boards are fine

[lyric oyster]

Rog in terms of asus boards

[frank zealot]

That's not how it works, unless you make dumb purchases

[pure garnet]

the eagle is the low end gigabyte board idk who told you it's the best

[nova trout]

What is asus considered

[nova trout]

💀 💀 💀

[turbid locust]

I’m starting to see why you’re getting a bunch of different opinions. You ask for advice and then just argue with it until you hear what you want lmfao.

I’ve given my two cents, I’m over it now.

[lyric oyster]

Asus is a good brand i like the features they give i just recently bought a rog b650 a strix

[frank zealot]

Asus makes boards ranging from cheap AF to expensive as fuck

[pure garnet]

every vendor has good and bad boards

[nova trout]

Roger

[pure garnet]

vrm is not gonna matter

[nova trout]

Roger

[turbid locust]

VRMs literally do not matter when your cpu draws 90W

[frank zealot]

Unless the vrms on a board are absolutely trash, they're a non issue for ryzen 7 chips

[pure garnet]

and those are like <$80 boards

[nova trout]

Do you mind explaining that part
I was told vrm matters specially when you use 3dx cpus
And it makes sense since it manages power to board and cpus

[turbid locust]

You can run a 9950X on basically every B650

[turbid locust]

I’ll explain it to you: you were blatantly misinformed.

[frank zealot]

Ryzen chips don't use that much power, especially for 5 and 7 chips. The vrm won't be a problem

[nova trout]

Ok let’s do it that way
Can you give me an example of absolute trash board just so I have some baseline or concept

[lyric oyster]

Usually better vrms are wanted for like overclocking

[nova trout]

Everyone talks as if they’re experts idk what to believe that’s why I said I was lost

[pure garnet]

you are not overloading am5 vrms with an oc

[nova trout]

Ok thank you for that info that helps

[pure garnet]

basically every single board can handle like 250w to cpu

[turbid locust]

dunning kruger effect man idk what to tell you

[nova trout]

What about attempting to oc ram
CPU imc can handle or no idk about that part someone told me imc can go back in the wrong setup power wise and all

[pure garnet]

you shouldn't be doing manual ram oc im ngl

[lyric oyster]

Just leave your pc stock no reason to mess with oc

[frank zealot]

Like this board has a really weak vrm, but would probably still run a ryzen 7

[turbid locust]

That’s more than your scope ngl

[nova trout]

Ok

[turbid locust]

No offense but if you can’t research this stuff on your own to make an informed decision you should not be manually tuning ram

[nova trout]

Idk where to start bruh

But I’m thinking maybe in future I can try idk

[frank zealot]

Reddit, youtube

Google.com

[lyric oyster]

https://tenor.com/view/nounsdao-surfing-the-web-nounish-internet-gif-26578862

[nova trout]

Ok what I did was look at different boards and CPUs but I got ultra confused

[turbid locust]

Tons of info online, take a CompTIA A+ exam, etc idk man

Most people in this hobby are self taught so like

[nova trout]

CompTIA any other source

[pure garnet]

the vrm craze started in am4 because low end b350 boards couldn't handle the increased power draw of the 5950x

[lyric oyster]

Professor Messer carried me so hard

[pure garnet]

but because of the vrm craze, basically every single board is overbuilt

[turbid locust]

the goat lol

[pure garnet]

so it's a non factor unless you're purchasing boards that barely come with printed on boxes

[nova trout]

Roger

[nova trout]

Good to know

Also another thing is I’m quite stressed to go through a bunch of YouTube videos my pc is down rn

I looked at a bunch of CPUs and boards online but with no background I was more confused

[pure garnet]

i would get the bundle mac linked

[nova trout]

Most of them don’t say what vrms they have and idk what even is considered good and that’s what I was told to look for

[pure garnet]

it's a good value and the board is decent

[lyric oyster]

All you need to know is that board will do you fine

Its a reputable brand and its midrange

[nova trout]

Someone mentioned limited pcie speed can it handle a capture card

And high end gpu

[pure garnet]

yeah

[lyric oyster]

Yeah your pcie bandwidth should be fine with 2 devices

[nova trout]

I read once nvme drives share same bandwidth right

With pci

[lyric oyster]

Usually not to a notable degree

[turbid locust]

Do people still use PCIe capture cards?

[pure garnet]

they don't

[lyric oyster]

I might be tweaking

[pure garnet]

the board has the lanes setup so all 3 nvme slots get x4 lanes, 1 is gen 5, 2 are gen 4

[lyric oyster]

Or was it sata ports

[nova trout]

Was told better to record with them less stress on pc

[pure garnet]

the top x16 slot is 4.0x16 and the 2nd one is 4.0x1

[turbid locust]

I think the last time I looked for a PCIe capture card there were like zero good options lol

My EVGA USB capture card works great though

[lyric oyster]

Depends on what your using it for

[nova trout]

Another question why downgrade from r7 9800x3d to r5 7600x3d

[nova trout]

Oh I can get that then

Didn’t know they have them in usb

[lyric oyster]

Your not downgrading your still getting a noticeable upgrade from your current setup

[pure garnet]

because spending $480 for ~15% more performance isn't worth it when you're not buying a 5090

[turbid locust]

[lyric oyster]

https://tenor.com/view/cinema-gif-5935759059195122434

[pure garnet]

like im playing games on the 265k which reddit thinks is unusable and i can barely tell that it's not my 7800x3d

[turbid locust]

I don’t think I even noticed swapping from my 7700x to 14900k lmao

[pure garnet]

i noticed 12900ks -> 7800x3d but that chip has some weird defaults

[lyric oyster]

I got executed on reddit for buying a 980ti for 56 so that tracks

[pure garnet]

the ring on alder caps to 3.6ghz when e cores turn on

[nova trout]

Ok because ai said the 9800 has more cores

But I think you make more sense

Ai said I can use 5080 with it

[turbid locust]

it does but you’re just gaming pretty much yeah?

[lyric oyster]

Iirc Most games usually use 8 max

[pure garnet]

the difference between a 6 and 8 core isn't really noticeable

[nova trout]

Ye and discord browser other monitors + occasional recording

[pure garnet]

yeah that's not much of a load

[turbid locust]

Yeah 7600X3D more than enough

[pure garnet]

if you were like

[nova trout]

My only worry is now they do who knows in a year
Also bf6 recommend 8 core

[turbid locust]

like I said that’s my recommendation. Buy the bundle from MC and enjoy.

[pure garnet]

we're not gonna see a major change in pc min spec requirements until the ps6

and later in to the ps6 even

[lyric oyster]

Not enough of a difference to support the price difference imo

6 cores is fine

[nova trout]

Also I’m on 6 core cpu rn

R5 3600x

Does the 7800x3d work on am5 only ?

[lyric oyster]

Reminder that intel used 4 cores for the longest time but that doesn't make them all equally powerful

[coarse hound]

My laptop doesn’t pick up my SSD in windows installer. What should I do

[pure garnet]

yeah

[nova trout]

Can you explain why bf6 said minimum six recommended is eight

[nova trout]

Well then

[nova trout]

Go to bios then boot post picture

[coarse hound]

It’s a hp laptop

[lyric oyster]

Will still have a bios

[nova trout]

Thank you everyone for input I’ll have to read up on all the details.

[coarse hound]

I can’t post picture though

[nova trout]

Reboot press buttons

F2 or whatever

[lyric oyster]

What six core cpu is recommended

[nova trout]

https://www.ea.com/en/games/battlefield/battlefield-6/system-requirements

R7 3700x

[lyric oyster]

The 5600x3d offers better performance

With its 6 cores

More cores doesn't mean better

[nova trout]

Yes but the race commission calls for eight wheels instead of six

I know six can be faster in certain cars but the road conditions and all

Wait what

[lyric oyster]

?

[pure garnet]

fx chips have 8 cores and they're slower than 2 core intel chips

[wraith steeple]

FX weren't exactly Octo core IIRC

[pure garnet]

shared fpu or something

[lyric oyster]

Isnt the 7700x 8 core and worse then the 7600x3d

[nova trout]

What do you think of this

https://www.microcenter.com/product/5006993/amd-ryzen-5-9600x,-asus-b650m-plus-tuf-gaming-wifi,-gskill-flare-x5-series-16gb-ddr5-6000,-computer-build-bundle

[turbid locust]

slower lmao

but also cheaper and completely fine

Again, you don’t need a crazy cpu lol

[pure garnet]

yeah i mean basically any of them are fine

[turbid locust]

anyways I think I’m gonna commit to my 14900k despite unluck with ram

I want a competent AM5 board before I swap over again

[pure garnet]

yeah 149 and ayw even on 7600 is a comfy setup

instead of losing money on the 9800x3d resale

[turbid locust]

Think I could probably do a cracked out 7600 tune

probably return the 8200 kit too

[wraith steeple]

[pure garnet]

i'll give you 8 bucks

[merry stirrup]

:greed:

[turbid locust]

Think I’ll just cope on z790 and just get the new shiny thing when zen 6 drops

I just want a board that’s not an HDV

[lyric oyster]

I'm still running lga 1155 as my main for now

[pure garnet]

z890

[turbid locust]

LGA1851 is so unbelievably mid lmfao

[pure garnet]

i would got a 14900k

if cheaper

but it wasnt

[wraith steeple]

Damn I'm blind as a bat

[turbid locust]

I got mine for $350 new and board was $220

[pure garnet]

yeah they're like 430 now

[lyric oyster]

[turbid locust]

138fps cap on 5090

[nova trout]

I was just told not use this site
Where else do you compare cpu performance

[pure garnet]

i like nanoreview for quick comparisons

techpowerup for gpus

[turbid locust]

I usually gravitate towards GN and HUB on YouTube for cpu comparisons

[pure garnet]

yeah 14900k is 430 rn

[nova trout]

Cool wonder why never saw it on google first page

https://nanoreview.net/en/cpu-compare/amd-ryzen-7-7800x3d-vs-amd-ryzen-5-7600x3d

[pure garnet]

i can't justify a china board and that vs the 265k deal

[turbid locust]

Fair enough

[nova trout]

YouTube channels ?

[turbid locust]

Yeah

[pure garnet]

also 8000 set and forget is kinda cool

[turbid locust]

Gamers Nexus and Hardware Unboxed

[pure garnet]

because i just wanna use this pc

[turbid locust]

Same but I can’t allow myself to enjoy it

[nova trout]

Oh gamers nexus is cool thanks I’ll check out other one

[turbid locust]

Nah I have to get some solid stable settings dialed soon. I have games to play.

Skate, BL4, and BF6

[nova trout]

You know after this all things considered the differences are marginal

7600x3d bundle starting to make sense

I want to compare it with 9600x real quick

[pure garnet]

still no email about my game bundle

[turbid locust]

What were you supposed to get?

[pure garnet]

newegg told me to contact intel to get the premium bundle

but with the holiday they're just backed up

rn i have a key for bf6 but i'll be getting bf6 100 ver + ac shadows deluxe key

[turbid locust]

Word

[turbid locust]

type shit

[pure garnet]

also part of why i wanted a core ultra over the 14900k is because the z690-e is not gonna be good for memory oc at all

i'd have been extremely lucky to get 7200 even

[turbid locust]

I got BL4 for free with my 5090, Skate is gonna be F2P, and then I’ll just buy BF6. So only paying for 1/3 games I’m looking forward to soon lol.

[brisk jolt]

[pure garnet]

if i get my premium key and i'll send you my old one

14900k is on list to accept it

[turbid locust]

Oh shit bet that’d be tight

Would super appreciate it lol

[pure garnet]

maybe they won't deactivate it

i'll let you know when they respond

[turbid locust]

🫡

[pure garnet]

@merry stirrup https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapcsales/comments/1n6j7fe/cpu_14600k_14999_with_bf6_code/ it's back

nvm its gone again

that's funny

[brisk jolt]

fuck these distributors wheres the intel value buys

[nova trout]

Unplug after this no more brains test at your risk

[rich rivet]

need help with capped internet link speed on PC
I have B550 Gaming plus motherboard and manual says it supports 1Gbps LAN (RJ45) port
I have updated ethernet drivers as well and its still says the same

[nova trout]

Cat5 cable ?

[rich rivet]

yes

[nova trout]

Duh

Cat5 = 100mbps

[rich rivet]

ohh

[nova trout]

[rich rivet]

[cloud vigil]

no? Cat5 goes up to 2.5Gb/s @rich rivet

[rich rivet]

5e or 5?

some say 5e goes upto 2.5

[nova trout]

No? 5 is 100mbps.

What is bro smoking now

Did he just say 2.5G ?

Lmaooo

[cloud vigil]

it's pretty rare to see a Cat5 cable that doesn't meet Cat5e spec

[rich rivet]

or my cable is smoking its too old

[cloud vigil]

unless it is truly from 2001

[rich rivet]

lemme check

[cloud vigil]

also double check whether it means Mb/s or MB/s (bits vs bytes). I'm pretty sure that screenshot is in bits though

[rich rivet]

100 Mbps

[cloud vigil]

tbf I do have "cat 6" cables that run at 100Mb/s 😭

they do just be lying sometimes

[rich rivet]

i always had 100Mbps speed(internet)
i recently upgraded to 150Mbps since it was same price and i noticed its not giving me that speed

[cloud vigil]

definitely check both of the endpoints of the cable AND the cable itself, if possible

my ISP gave me a 3Gb/s plan but none of the outputs can actually handle more than 1Gb/s, so I have to beg for a router upgrade

[nova trout]

Dude what is this nonsense
Cat5 is capped at 100Mbps

Want higher speeds get cat 5e

[rich rivet]

my router is TPlink Archer C6 checked it had proper ports but it might be the cable

[cloud vigil]

there is no hard "cap", it's just whatever the endpoints negotiate, and Cat5 cables will 99% of the time be able to negotiate at least a gigabit

[rich rivet]

idk many people say new cat5 support more than that
but i am sure my cable is pretty old like 5 years

[cloud vigil]

definitely read the side of the cable

[rich rivet]

it says cat 5 and the company's name nothing else

i have the box it says CAT 5 UTP 26AWG 2PAIRS

[cloud vigil]

2PAIRS

that might be the problem, most ethernet cable is supposed to be four pairs. can you unplug one end and count how many contacts there are? there should be eight

[rich rivet]

it is 8

will get a cat 6 cable instead

[cloud vigil]

sounds good, yeah. All of your router's ports should be gigabit-capable, if I'm reading the right manual

[rich rivet]

yes

[nova trout]

5e is good enough

[gloomy vault]

like everything it depends on use case

i have 10gbps and im running cat6/7

[nova trout]

Home network 10gb ?

That would be cool if you have a storage server

[gloomy vault]

yeap

$20 a month

[nova trout]

Wdym a month

[brisk jolt]

its a monthly subscription for the speed

[nova trout]

What can you monthly pay for in a home network

[nova trout]

Speed of what it’s a home network

[brisk jolt]

i think its like $20 a month for him for 2 years

like a instalment or smth im not sure

[nova trout]

Home network is one thing internet another

You pay for internet you don’t pay for home network

[brisk jolt]

we have monthly instalments/subscriptions here for the internet

what he probs is home internet lmao

[rich rivet]

@nova trout i got CAT6 cable do i have restart PC and router?

[nova trout]

No?

You still getting 100Mbps ?

[rich rivet]

yeah

[nova trout]

Bruh are you sure your switch can do more than 100Mb ?

[rich rivet]

switch?

[nova trout]

Where you plug the cord in your pc

What’s your board

[rich rivet]

B550 Gaming plus

its says 1Gbps port on it

[nova trout]

You’re connected straight to router

[rich rivet]

yup

[nova trout]

What color is it showing

Green ?

[rich rivet]

constant green with orange color flickering

[nova trout]

Yellow flickering not orange

Green means link speed is 100 mb
Orange means 1gb

[rich rivet]

ok

so what could be the issue?

[nova trout]

You ever updated Ethernet driver

[rich rivet]

updated it today

[nova trout]

How about

Go here and get it from here

https://us.msi.com/Motherboard/MPG-B550-GAMING-PLUS/support

Also what if router switch can’t do more than 100mbps

[rich rivet]

i am getting 150Mbps on wifi

router supports 300Mpbs

[nova trout]

There’s supports WiFi 300mbps

Now wired is another thing

What’s router model number

[rich rivet]

TPLINK Archer C6

[nova trout]

Can you go into settings

[rich rivet]

yeah

[shell void]

@topaz veldt @wraith steeple

2.6KG waterblock xd

[wraith steeple]

I know I saw it on TG's discord

[shell void]

u want it so bad

[wraith steeple]

I'm so hyped NGL

[nova trout]

Open it post screenshot make sure no ip is showing

[nova trout]

Bigger picture

[rich rivet]

above that is wireless settings,with SSID and MAC

[topaz veldt]

How does it do?

[nova trout]

Just post picture of the whole thing I’m not familiar with its ui

[wise bear]

oh its tplink

what are we trying to do here

[nova trout]

This the whole thing

Where’s settings ?

[rich rivet]

what setting do you want to see?

[rich rivet]

LAN is capped at 100Mpbps

[nova trout]

The settings

Router settings

[wise bear]

diff ethernet cable?

[rich rivet]

cat6

[nova trout]

There’s a place you can control the switch speed

You manually adjust it

Every router has it

[rich rivet]

idk where it is

[nova trout]

What’s under system tools

[wise bear]

no every router does not have a link state option lemme log into my tplink router

[nova trout]

Big deal most routers do

[rich rivet]

firmware is upto date

[nova trout]

System parameters

[topaz veldt]

what is the end point that is doing 100 mbps

[devout ridge]

watch it be a smart tv

[nova trout]

What’s in system parameters

[wise bear]

but did you try a diff cable

and what's the end device

[leaden dawn]

What's a link state option

[topaz veldt]

on some devices you can set auto-negotiate or force 1 gbps, 100 mbps

[leaden dawn]

I almost guarantee my fiber router doesn't have it

[wraith steeple]

We're so fucking back, baby! Wooooooooooooo

[edgy laurel]

where did we go

[nova trout]

Bruh disappeared

[wise bear]

to mars

[topaz veldt]

assville

[nova trout]

Bottom one

[rich rivet]

i had cat5 cable before,same issue

[wise bear]

WHATS THE END DEVICE

[nova trout]

Was it 1000 already or you just changed it

[rich rivet]

i changed it

[nova trout]

Nice!!!

[topaz veldt]

I do think its funny people are getting off on this finish - its literally just raw bead blast

[rich rivet]

Router to PC

[nova trout]

Now reboot router

[wise bear]

changed it from what

[rich rivet]

Auto negotiation to 1000Mbps

[nova trout]

Reboot router

[wise bear]

watch it fail negotiation

[nova trout]

[nova trout]

Offer it a bribe if it does

[wise bear]

nah im just gonna sip coffee now

and shoot bad guys

[nova trout]

Living the dream

[topaz veldt]

I need to do work "ew"

[wise bear]

The only "work" I have to do is wake up and exist today

[topaz veldt]

Must be nice

[wise bear]

:3

[rich rivet]

done

[topaz veldt]

DeltaMate 57 degC core and 64 degC mem - 20 mins speedway - going to compare

[wise bear]

It is for now, I wanna get into a trade school next year though

[nova trout]

Test pc

[rich rivet]

its still 100Mbps

[nova trout]

Reboot pc

[topaz veldt]

bro my 7 year old already trades pokemons and shit

[rich rivet]

okay

[wise bear]

LOL CALLED IT

[wise bear]

Oh man I remember doing that shit in elementary english

[rich rivet]

setting is still at 1000Mbps in router

[nova trout]

That’s a basic call though
There’s six thousand variables to it all

You check one and move on to the rest

[wise bear]

6k variables and you're flying blind in an interface you don't know lol

[nova trout]

I do know the interface you just showed up maybe scroll up

[wise bear]

have they tried literally anything else directly plugged into the router to test if its the pc

[rich rivet]

still same

[wise bear]

how do we know its the routers fault

[edgy laurel]

@topaz veldt lol

[nova trout]

It’s not about faults
You clear common fail points and move on

[rich rivet]

how do i check everything?
and conclude its router at the end

[wise bear]

hoagies & potholes

[edgy laurel]

about all we got

[nova trout]

You grabbed driver from Msi website I linked above ?

[rich rivet]

yeah and its updated

[nova trout]

I live here

[wise bear]

have you plugged literally anything else into the router and seeing if it defaults to 100mb/s

[rich rivet]

i have changed this as well

[edgy laurel]

but which section

[wise bear]

its gotta be the cable

[rich rivet]

i can check my laptop

[wise bear]

or the plugs

[rich rivet]

bought a new cat6 cable

[wise bear]

THE PLUGS, MASON

[rich rivet]

[nova trout]

I won’t answer because that chart is massively incorrect and overextending

[wise bear]

ok purist

[edgy laurel]

I think its accurate, but thats probably because i'm firmly in the From Philly section

and thats how we see the rest of the state

[nova trout]

The city of Philly is a very different place than anything 20miles away from its center

[nova trout]

I’ve been to that netherworld and I hope to never return

I’m like an hour away

Microcenter is 40 mins

Philly is such a nightmare to drive through

The roads the drivers the whole setup

[edgy laurel]

thats.. exactly the same for me. and we're talking about the same microcenter lol

[nova trout]

Next visit I’ll keep an eye out for floating username “guiltyspark” in the isles

[edgy laurel]

I live in Bucks, work in Montgomery

[nova trout]

What if it’s the bios

[wraith steeple]

[nova trout]

Ohhh I used to do drive to Montgomery a lot

[edgy laurel]

county, to be clear

[nova trout]

It’s 50 mins from me

[rich rivet]

@nova trout @wise bear tested on my laptop as well with both cat5 and cat6

it still says the same 100Mbps

[nova trout]

It’s on the border of hell it’s where the nice part of Pa ends

And Philly begins

[rich rivet]

cat6 wire is UTP 4 pairs 16 SWG

[nova trout]

What if there’s some special setting in bios

[rich rivet]

i did read about it

[topaz veldt]

@wraith steeple dunno TG looks nice but meh

[topaz veldt]

This is perfect

[rich rivet]

@nova trout i think its the router

everything else is changed, drivers updated,setting changed, new cat6 cable

[wise bear]

Did you physically inspect the plugs

for lint

[rich rivet]

hmm, lemme check

[wise bear]

dude if this is supposed to be an acronym it fucking sucks

[edgy laurel]

Pieto Smeac, totally normal

[rich rivet]

checked and cleaned all ports and plug

still 100Mbps full duplex

[edgy laurel]

Not been paying attention but what you're dealing with is either a bad port or a bad cable. Luckily its pretty simple to narrow down.

[rich rivet]

i got this mobo 6months ago fairly new tbh
router is like 6 years old now

[edgy laurel]

thats neat. age of the parts has no importance

[topaz veldt]

@wraith steeple fans were about 1200 RPM max on 360 rads. GPU high of 55.8 degC (beat TG by 1.2C, max mem temp was 66 degC, TG has me by 2 degC. A big meh.

The mem temp actually /\/\/\/\ 64 66, so its likely the same

[wraith steeple]

That's fair. It's definitely more of a "get what you like the look of" thing

[topaz veldt]

yeah I am glad to see he hasn't done anything insanely profound

Also worth noting both my CPU and GPU are in the loop - so EK might actually be a smidge better if I isolated it

[frank zealot]

sadly in business, they'd make it normal

[topaz veldt]

what is the nic chipset

[nova trout]

Tbh that router is kinda sad existence level

[rich rivet]

how check that ?
whats nic chipset?

[wise bear]

ope and now 5nail is in the race

will he solve the issue???

[topaz veldt]

@wraith steeple

So not only were my temps better on 5090 TUF OC w/ EK WB... I scored almost 100 points higher than Astral with TG

[nova trout]

[wise bear]

neeeevermind

[nova trout]

I saw a lot of those for that board that’s why I said it could be some setting in bios

[topaz veldt]

Just a random link, give it a read

[nova trout]

I saw it

Half an hour ago

There’s five other posts on same thing same board

[topaz veldt]

what version of windows

[nova trout]

Oh speaking of windows disable auto driver update so it doesn’t force internet drivers onto the one you got from msi

[topaz veldt]

Also worth trying - download Ubuntu live USB and boot in that to eliminate drivers

I bet its the cable - I had a cat6 cable doing only 1 Gbps on a 2.5 Gbps connection, replaced cable, all fixed.

[rich rivet]

my windows update is already stopped
i am on reviOS so forcefully stopped

[nova trout]

Bad

[topaz veldt]

reviOS... uhhh

[rich rivet]

i tested this on my laptop with cat6 cable its on ubuntu 24.04
and it still at 100Mbps

[nova trout]

Those stuff are bad

Go back to normal windows and just use winaero tweaker + oo10 silent

[rich rivet]

i will order a new cat6 ig

[nova trout]

Bruh

[topaz veldt]

If you tried on an entirely different piece of hardware w/ OS w/ cable and its 100 mbps your router is fucked

[rich rivet]

i am thinking its fucked

6 year old router so

[topaz veldt]

I recently installed a U7 Dream thinger from Unifi and i like it

[nova trout]

Bro forget about 6 years old that router at its prime was crap

[rich rivet]

which router should i get?

[topaz veldt]

How much do you want to spend

[rich rivet]

i use this PC mainly for games and downloading movies and others media

[nova trout]

Get a mesh setup if you upgrade

[topaz veldt]

do you need built in wireless, how big is the house, is it one PC?

[rich rivet]

2 bedrooms kitchen apartment

[nova trout]

I have tp link deco be65 pro but I don’t recommend tp link stuff
They’re not addressing some issues they have

I’d recommend a mesh system from another company

[rich rivet]

tbh i also want to get out of TPlink

[topaz veldt]

take a look at the Ubiquity Unifi Dream Router 7

[nova trout]

Tplink is always scammy with their claims but they did a good job on deco tbf

[topaz veldt]

has a built in Wifi7 AP

[wise bear]

what claims

[wraith steeple]

Yeah that definitely is about right. That's my problem with some custom Watercooling reviews. No shade to KitGuru of course, but it's actually very difficult to do reviews on a very niche market. Like coolant delta/ambients, rad(s) capacity or surface area cooling the component(s), climate of the environment is being tested in, etc. There are a lot of variables that greatly depend on the results. It's also why we don't see many reviews covering this market

[topaz veldt]

For sure - I was hoping the TG would be like... 52 degC, 60 degC memory on 1100 RPM trash fans and I'd be like OK no matter what else is going on, its better. But its a little worse than mine today so maybe its in the details maybe not but it doesn't motivate me to do anything.

[rich rivet]

here is one odd thing i remember now
randomly my LAN disconnects for my PC but wifi kept working,unless i restarted my router my PC had not internet

just glad that my internet speed was at 100Mbps which it supported for year

[wise bear]

router = old

time to updoot

[rich rivet]

so i didn't lose any speed or money bcoz of it

[wise bear]

god i hate the russians in ready or not

who the fuck is landing hits burst firing an aks with no stock

[rich rivet]

not available here in india

[topaz veldt]

ah that stinks

[rich rivet]

TPlink and Dlink are popular here

@nova trout which Deco model you were talking about?

[nova trout]

Not to go into details for the sake of time
A quick example is i know a guy named “Aveon” they claimed they can give him 1Gbps router and they didn’t so there’s that

[nova trout]

E65 pro I think

But they’re having issues with US government

I’d really not recommend them they have security problems they’re ignoring

Hence why US government was threatening them with ban from US

Also they’re Chinese so US says ccp is the imposter

[wise bear]

dude cisco has more CVEs than tplink

that whole news stint was such a fucking scare tactic lmao

[nova trout]

Ye I believe that

[wise bear]

wuhh tp link scary chinese corpo govt ccp keyword keyword

[nova trout]

But I wouldn’t recommend it not worth the risk suppose us government says ok banned no more updates support for your deco get rekt

[rich rivet]

E65 pro isnt available either lol

[wise bear]

its almost like I could still get firmware files from other sites

[nova trout]

Where do you live

[rich rivet]

looks like tplink routers are back on menu

[rich rivet]

india

[nova trout]

U not average joe

[nova trout]

Ohhh

[wise bear]

You're goddamn right I'm a rare queen, bitch

[nova trout]

[wise bear]

💅

[nova trout]

[nova trout]

Idk what’s available to you tbh

[rich rivet]

Dlink and TPLink for now

[nova trout]

Is there a popular tech store site you can link

[wise bear]

I'm still amazed that dlink is still about

[nova trout]

E65 is just a specific American retailers variant
Go by deco

Why what how when

[edgy laurel]

Asrock 800 series boards have been killing chips for months

[nova trout]

I love how it’s in English but prices in Indian currency

[edgy laurel]

(not 600 series)

[green marsh]

person didn't update to latest bios, first CPU died in 6 months, second in 2 months

[nova trout]

Cancer asrock
I swear I said it the other day yesterday
Asrock is a terrible company
They don’t care
They just make whatever and deal with problems later

[edgy laurel]

yikes

[frank zealot]

@edgy laurel shut the fuck up and take my goddamned money

[wise bear]

YOOOOOOOO

[frank zealot]

Name one company that hasn't had problems like this

[edgy laurel]

thats neat, but I'll keep my money lol

[wise bear]

id buy a coaster set like that

[nova trout]

I hate my asrock board advertised as atx but it’s 1/4 inch short on atx width
I guess they made hella money saving that extra 1/4 inch so I can screw other end to case

[nova trout]

This isn’t the core for my beef with them

[edgy laurel]

you're just mad at something completely unrelated

[wise bear]

dude atx spec sizings are a guideline you whiny-ass mf

[frank zealot]

wtf are you talking about?
ATX isn't one specific size, it's a range of sizes

[nova trout]

It is related
Its relation is to the company asrock.

[green marsh]

every board manufacturer did that, for budget boards mostly

[wraith steeple]

Are we going to forget what happened with Asus during 7000X3D

[rich rivet]

my ASRock 6750XT is sweating after reading that

[nova trout]

Nah it’s a specific size

[wraith steeple]

[edgy laurel]

is it?

[nova trout]

Idk man they’re all mean then

[wise bear]

brb not high enough for this

[frank zealot]

it 100% is not.

mITX is the only board that's a specific size.

mATX and ATX and E-ATX are all a size range

[nova trout]

Also a lot of my board models and cousin models and relatives all have crappy usb ports

X570 pro4

[nova trout]

No I said atx clearly I said atx
Edit: I read your msg wrong

[wise bear]

well stop jamming things in wrong you neanderthal

[nova trout]

[green marsh]

i mean it is not that common lately, but each had such products over time

[wise bear]

yeah be grumpy all you want

you're still the dumb one here

[nova trout]

https://www.reddit.com/r/ASRock/comments/1013snt/asrock_x570_usb_port_issue/

[edgy laurel]

B550/X570 era USB issues were not isolated to one board, or asrock in general

[nova trout]

That’s a reach and perhaps you’re projecting I’m not sure I’d do some self examining

[edgy laurel]

there were just general USB issues with all AMD boards around that time, or so it seemed. Never had an issue myself.

[wise bear]

nice mirror, can you try harder?

[nova trout]

Chipset related ?

[wraith steeple]

USB.... Yeah that's an AMD problem

[frank zealot]

one person having a weird issue with usb is not the mic drop you think it is

[wraith steeple]

Not just ASRock

[edgy laurel]

but that was 5 years ago

[frank zealot]

Do you remember AEGISA issues and AMD Code causing 7800X3D chips to explode?

[nova trout]

That’s not a one person and that’s not a mic drop
You can go lookup and you’ll find tons of posts
I just threw that in as reference not going to vommit ten links

[vestal granite]

5 years ago is 25% of 20 years ago

[green marsh]

you probably mean a board with layout like this old ASRock board

[nova trout]

That’s small but close

[wise bear]

its so cute

[nova trout]

Nah I know of intel 13th gen

[wise bear]

awww the molex for pcie power

[vestal granite]

thats 2015 -> 2010 which is like Fortnite -> this

[edgy laurel]

he's talking about his board. slimmer than most, top right doesn't have a standoff hole as it doesn't reach

[frank zealot]

my biggest complaint there would be the location of the CPU Fan Headers.

Fuck that bullshit.

[green marsh]

look at unsoldered PCIE power molex connector location 😄

[edgy laurel]

ignoring the fact that he bought it anyway, and now feels the need to complain that asrock is at fault...

[nova trout]

Yes exactly

[frank zealot]

I made a bad decision, and now I'm blaming the company that sold it!

[green marsh]

which is same as that Z97 board, except they added a hole to nowhere

[pure garnet]

the giant hole where a dvi should be soldered is an interesting board choice

[vestal granite]

listen, asrock we joke around and call it ass rock right but its not as bad as gigabyte and thats all that should matter

(i like spreading more blanket statements about brands)

[pure garnet]

fr my master feels ike a low end board

[frank zealot]

My Asrock Z890 Nova is a god-tier board

[nova trout]

There’s six billion products out there no way for average joe to know everything
How’s me buying their advertised product a bad decision ?
Maybe they should make better products

[shell void]

[green marsh]

but for example, there is same from ASUS 🙂

[frank zealot]

my Asrock GPU is absolutely baller

[frank zealot]

QQ harder

[wraith steeple]

ASSRock
ASSus
MS-Shite
Giggleshyte

[vestal granite]

how should they know to make better products when people like you are buying the bad ones regardless

[nova trout]

I heard the eagle from gigabyte is good is that true

[pure garnet]

what is the point of slim atx

[edgy laurel]

the whole right side of the board flexes uncomfortably when plugging anything in

[hoary hatch]

TIL Nvidia charges $400-$700 for 8gb vram 💀

[frank zealot]

cheaper to manuf

can fit in smaller cases

[nova trout]

You’re just being unfair and a troll welcome to the blocked list

[vestal granite]

from asrock's perspective their sales are doing fine so theyll keep sellin what theyre sellin

[pure garnet]

damn pepe you just got shut down

[edgy laurel]

Eagle is like their cheapest line.. or near it

[frank zealot]

no, you're just whining excessively and people are getting tired of it

[nova trout]

You too, unfair and biased fake news reporting welcome to the list

[edgy laurel]

Can I go too?

[hoary hatch]

Yeah installing/removing the 24pin on slim ATX makes me feel like I'm going to crack the board in half

[nova trout]

You’re welcome no problem enjoy

[edgy laurel]

sick

[vestal granite]

despair, desolation, defeat. what am I - a husk of a man? to be torn and reconstituted; of unrecognizable origins.

[frank zealot]

I've done a few, and I typically put fingers under the board to support it when I do

[shell void]

TIL this feature exists

[green marsh]

or this. Yes, it is a bit less, but still no support for part of it

[wraith steeple]

Shaftphire
BioShart
ABitch
........
Yeah that's all I got for mock names

[hoary hatch]

Okay how many cases are actually designed for full ATX height but not full ATX width? I am willing to be proven wrong here but I demand evidence

[pure garnet]

yeah back in the day you used to be able to make your status bar show the signal info instead of the bars

[pure garnet]

so i’d go into it for that

[hoary hatch]

Great Gbit is incredible branding

[vestal granite]

you know what I like that

[shell void]

i’m gonna try that shiz out when i get home to see if i can place my 5g home internet gateway in a different spot

[vestal granite]

its not trying to lie and say its extreme Gbit

[shell void]

because the spot that it’s in right now is very inconvenient

[pure garnet]

if that’s an i219v then they’re not wrong

[vestal granite]

its just great. swell, really.

[pure garnet]

that is quite a great nic

[frank zealot]

probably more for SI bullshit than home people

[edgy laurel]

I don't understand with some of these companies why its so difficult to have just one English speaking person look over marketing translations

[pure garnet]

the asrock site is a big offender of machine translated marketing

[vestal granite]

Quite Swell QLC

[frank zealot]

but if they did that we'd lose the hilarious nonsense

[hoary hatch]

Ugh
Unfortunately I can see them throwing those in some semi-proprietary ass fire box

[pure garnet]

like the boards on intel are fine if not one of the better options but the site feels unprofessional

[shell void]

supposedly asrock uefi skins still have chinglish

[edgy laurel]

all of those Asian brands. they all do it. slogans and blubs that just sound silly or make no sense right on their products.

[vestal granite]

we are a small market is the thing

[frank zealot]

at least it's "less proprietary" than HP or Dell?

[vestal granite]

im sure spanish translations are no better

[edgy laurel]

Just one person there who happens to speak fluent English and you've solved all of these problems.

[vestal granite]

maybe they hired someone thinking they did

[pure garnet]

Supports up to 6*NVMe M.2 SSDs and one of which is able to accommodates the latest PCI Express 5.0 standard to perform twice the bandwidth compared to previous generation, with a breathtaking 128Gb/s transfer speed. It is ready to unleash the full potential of future ultrafast SSDs. to give a lightning fast data transferring experience.

[vestal granite]

and nobody can tell because hes the only one who speaks english

[shell void]

yeah but i can read spanglish so its chill

[pure garnet]

like this has to be machine translated right

[vestal granite]

i can do some latin root words

[frank zealot]

what about it sounds wrong?

[wraith steeple]

Arablish is even worse

[frank zealot]

is that from the z890 Nova?

[vestal granite]

gotta cross your eyes and read both left to right and right to left at the same time

[pure garnet]

yeah just because i remembered reading its page

[vestal granite]

wait arabic is right to left right

[heavy mantle]

right to left

[vestal granite]

right

[frank zealot]

It has 6 onboard M.2 slots, yes.

If you sack one of the chipset slots, you can turn it into 4 extra slots instead.

[wraith steeple]

Shud yo mouse obama

Sisi yes sisi yes

[edgy laurel]

For Those Who Dare

[wraith steeple]

Morsi no Morsi no

[vestal granite]

shoneys

[heavy mantle]

what are you on about bassbone

[pure garnet]

i have 5 but one of them will split my x16 lane into an x8

so i will not be using that

[nova trout]

Listen here ya Obama listen to me
We want sissi you

[frank zealot]

z890 doesn't have that problem

[pure garnet]

i’m on z890

it’s probably because 2 of them are gen 5 slots

[vestal granite]

i want white castle

[frank zealot]

z890 has plenty of gen5 lanes for NVME @4 + GPU @16

[nova trout]

Egyptian lady meme

[pure garnet]

yeah they’re giving me 2 gen 5 slots

[heavy mantle]

ik that but why here

[wraith steeple]

Oh some short lived meme that blew up for a bit in MENA circles
https://youtu.be/xOanarE0s6Y?si=SjOS9ZPKMBmACr3A

[vestal granite]

its 10 AM nevermind i dont want white castle

[pure garnet]

so the second one has to bifurcate

[frank zealot]

oh, that's weird.

Unless they're x2 slots

[nova trout]

Ah

[pure garnet]

nope, x4 on each

[hoary hatch]

I'd be down for more 2 lane gen 5 ssds

[frank zealot]

the Nova has:

x4 CPU Gen 5
5x x4 Chipset Gen 4
x16 CPU Gen 5 GPU Slot

(and one x4 board slot that will disable the last chipset M.2 slot if you use it)

[pure garnet]

yeah that would be the smarter way to do it

but i guess gigabyte felt that halving the gpu lanes for only 1 extra gen 5 drive was a good idea

[frank zealot]

If they're going to turn the GPU to x8, they should have at least given you the option of 3 CPU NVMEs

[pure garnet]

they put a metal socket for the gen 5 drives so it’s easy to know which one i shouldn’t use at least

[frank zealot]

I swear to god, everything spies on us.

This could not have been more on topic.

or do I need to rip and upload the vid here

[green marsh]

at least it is not a typo on a limited edition motherboard 😄 https://www.asus.com/support/faq/1051422/
