[wispy field]

Literally my screen lol

[edgy laurel]

that title gave me an infectious disease

[wispy field]

But thats half the screen only i didnt take the whole screen cause my desk is messy

[pure garnet]

we all know roughly what 1024x768 looks like dw

[steel stream]

holy shit that is awesoe

[wispy field]

Ok i think display is back

Normal one looks weird now after seing the non native one

[steel stream]

HAH

[heavy mantle]

it looks like salt water in they eye if i was half alseep

[wispy field]

This resolution is always funny but annoying

I hope my stuff is normal now

[frank zealot]

part of me was curious, so I wanted to see if the Acer Predator 21 X was on ebay... nope

but:

[heavy mantle]

isnt that huge ahh lapotp acer made back in the pascal times?

[edgy laurel]

i'm sorry i can't do this ahh thing

[frank zealot]

yeah, the dual 1080 laptop

[edgy laurel]

fucking goofy, and in my head i'm saying it as its spelled and it sounds ridiculous

everyone stop it

[pure garnet]

goofy ahh is the original version of it actually

[wispy field]

I think I know why my gta lags now

[heavy mantle]

yeah this prlly is my first time using it

[wispy field]

I just checked I have like 200+ mods

[heavy mantle]

am so proud

[frank zealot]

what ahhh thing

[edgy laurel]

Man, the internet never ceases to amaze me.

[wispy field]

I just thought i had like 20

[edgy laurel]

BTW, forgot to mention this little detail

[wispy field]

Turns out I had a massive mod pack

[frank zealot]

there are people who are maxing 32 and 48GB RAM with skyrim and mods.
It's absurd what people are doing

[steel stream]

goofy ahh unc

[shell void]

unc ahh complaint

[wispy field]

I have 16 gb ram and its maxed cuz of my mods lol

[frank zealot]

skill issue

[wispy field]

Wait why the fuck does my gta use so low gpu and get so low fps

[edgy laurel]

thats not the problem. just spending 20+ minutes askign for help with a game only conveniently leave out its heavily modded

[steel stream]

https://tenor.com/view/american-psycho-willem-dafoe-duh-duhh-obviously-gif-16794513

[wispy field]

that aint normal is it

[edgy laurel]

this sounds so silly to read in my head

[wispy field]

time to start troubleshooting again

1st thing is to hop on reddit

[frank zealot]

no, the first thing is to try a STOCK game

[heavy mantle]

old man

[frank zealot]

if shit ain't working, blame the mods before anything else

[wispy field]

I had way moe fps before mods

[edgy laurel]

if you can't look at real time stats and determine what the problem is, then you have to disable all the mods

[wispy field]

I feel like its shitting my ram

[frank zealot]

no shit sherlock

that's how mods work

[wispy field]

I dont have graphic mods but yeah that makes sense

[frank zealot]

nope, I'm good.

I'm gonna go make myself dirty while playing with wires on the plant floor

[wispy field]

I found some stuff on reddit

time to see what the people said

reddit always knows I swear

[frank zealot]

So, Guilty, can I ask you 50 questions, get all your answers

And then ignore you and try a poorly phrased search online instead?

[wispy field]

ok how did reddit already fix it

turns out vsync and fullscreen windowed was making me lag

makes sense now

[frank zealot]

"makes sense" ?

As far as how reddit knew?

Cuz there are millions of redditors, and GTA V is popular

[heavy mantle]

"friendly fire"

[edgy laurel]

the problem is, "GTA is lagging" is not a solvable problem

so what really happened is you just got lucky

instead of working through systematic troubleshooting

[wispy field]

It is tho

[edgy laurel]

thats not what i meant

[wispy field]

Just upgrade system so technically it is

[steel stream]

so get a 5090 case closed

next ticket please

[low sorrel]

HOW DO YOU MISS THAT

[dapper plaza]

Can I disable raid 0 on asus rog laptop to double storage capacity?

[merry stirrup]

not without losing data

[wispy field]

Idk

[dapper plaza]

I assume that, so no problems

[wispy field]

Im lowk thinking of installing void linux on my main pc

[merry stirrup]

then you are good

[merry stirrup]

you cant even drag a slider

i think this is a bad plan

[low sorrel]

You should install arch

[wispy field]

Ive used linux before

[low sorrel]

I don't believe you

[wispy field]

Have it on my think pad

I got a raspberry pi 4 aswell

[steel stream]

I've used a knife before, doesn't mean I haven't accidentally cut my fingers

[wispy field]

I have used linux

[low sorrel]

He would chop off his fingers

[merry stirrup]

from a 7200U or whatever to a 1035G4 very nice

and a new battery which is the best part

[wispy field]

Also fym i cant drag a slider i literally did no research before overclocking

[pure garnet]

do you not see the problem with that statement

[wispy field]

I do

[low sorrel]

I mean he did drag a slider

[merry stirrup]

...

[wispy field]

But i literally can install and use Linux

[low sorrel]

Not well

[merry stirrup]

thats great bro

[merry stirrup]

...

[steel stream]

I literally can use a chainsaw

[wispy field]

I have installed ubuntu mint and arch before

[merry stirrup]

i interact with linux every day and i still think i cant use it

[wispy field]

Almost everyone can

[wispy field]

I dont code on it

I just installed my apps and used it

And i can do that easily

Only thing i dont know how to do is configure hyprland

So i just use gnome rn

[pure garnet]

so you’ve used distros with systemd and now plan to move to one that uses runit on your main system?

[wispy field]

I would just dualbooy

Because i still want my games

And some games dont work

[edgy laurel]

I'm quite impressed how simple gaming was to setup in CatchyOS

their wiki is great

[wispy field]

You mean cachy?

[edgy laurel]

maybe

[wispy field]

Im thinking of getting void it seems good

[pure garnet]

arch in general gets some help from valve now so it’s a pretty solid distro to base around

[wispy field]

But id rather get arch because i already know arch better

Wait is there any arch based good os?

[edgy laurel]

oh, yeah i guess so. its been pretty good to work with, and i've been instalilng, fucking around with and then getting frustrated with Linux for many years

[wispy field]

And that still uses the arch install commands for example sudo pacman -S example

[edgy laurel]

this has been the best i've used so far from a "normal dude who just wants to use the computer" standpoint

i don't wanna live inside the terminal

[pure garnet]

that’s every arch based distro

[wispy field]

Ok i heard cachy is arch based

Ill check it out later

[edgy laurel]

heard? you can just look it up, it is

[wispy field]

I knew a guy who got like 1k fps on roblox with cachy

[pure garnet]

i didn’t really like cachy but i have a preference for minimal bases

i would say to avoid manjaro though

[merry stirrup]

agreed

[wispy field]

I love linux for its user control and lightweight stuff

[pure garnet]

cachy is good for getting set up quickly i won’t deny that

[merry stirrup]

the lightweight part has never made sense to me but user control i understand

[pure garnet]

i just personally would use upstream

[wispy field]

Im probably not gonna get cachy if it doesnt have flatpak

[pure garnet]

i mean i daily drove linux for years because my igpu was too sluggish for windows 10 lol

[merry stirrup]

theres no way this wasnt a skill issue

[wispy field]

I need flatpak for some certain programs that arent on AUR

[merry stirrup]

i used GMA motherboard graphics on windows 10 totally fine

[pure garnet]

you wanna run bulldozer?

[edgy laurel]

One thing Linux fucked up was my boot speeds. Windows 11 was 12 seconds from off to login screen. same rig with default Cachy is well over double. probably configurable but that requires work, work one shouldn't have to do

[merry stirrup]

literally core 2 duo era

[pure garnet]

i think i had a hard drive at the time too

[merry stirrup]

that would be the issue then

[pure garnet]

yeppers

[wispy field]

Probably some installed stuff or desktop environment

[pure garnet]

i didn’t get an ssd till like 2018 i think

[merry stirrup]

i only got an ssd cause a random old pc my gma gave me had one

[whole coral]

Damn AT&T

[wispy field]

I dream of speeds like that

[brave panther]

I turn off fast boot for every pc i install

[wispy field]

I only get 200 mbps

[whole coral]

This is what I get from T-Mobile

Although it’s definitely on the highest end of cellular speeds here

[edgy laurel]

trying to figure out the relevancy there

[wispy field]

Also did yall know you can grab IPs with Minecraft servers?

[edgy laurel]

just a fresh install, KDE Plasma

[wispy field]

Idk then i use gnome personally

[wispy field]

Damn

[whole coral]

Verizon mmWave 5G

5.2 Gbps. Insane

[merry stirrup]

this is only useful for crime

[shell void]

xtreme ai top will take us beyond the edge

[pure garnet]

there’s not a single carrier in my area that offers impressive speeds

[whole coral]

GoNetSpeed is bringing fiber optic internet here next year

I already have a fiber internet provider but two would be nice

[wispy field]

Damn

My school has 1 gbps fiber optic

[edgy laurel]

You’re in the worst area for T-Mobile lol.

[whole coral]

Plans up to 2,000 Mbps symmetrical speeds with their fiber

[pure garnet]

yeah i don’t live in a metro area

[wispy field]

The fastedt internet speed here in estonia is 1gbps wireless

[edgy laurel]

seems so unnecessary in a phone at least.

[merry stirrup]

i get 1.2gbps down on wifi on my computer

[merry stirrup]

yeah id say so

my mobile data is so ass it pisses me off tho

[pure garnet]

i have symmetrical gigabit on my desktop

my phone isn’t great but eh i barely use it

[wispy field]

How much are yall paying for that bro

[merry stirrup]

i have 2.5g down on ethernet

[whole coral]

Yeahhh your not gonna use 5 gigabit on a single device

Really good for relieving congestion though

[edgy laurel]

way too much. $75/m

[whole coral]

I’ve seen towers go from 1,000 Mbps to like 100 Mbps or even less due to usage

[wispy field]

I wish i had high download speeds like that

[merry stirrup]

yeah something like that

[wispy field]

I have 200 and i pay 20 bucks for it

[whole coral]

Ethernet home Speedtest

Love the latency

[merry stirrup]

i dont think thats that much

[pure garnet]

i think we pay $40/mo for cable+internet+home phone

[wispy field]

I get 500 mbps on ethernet

[pure garnet]

hoa covers a chunk so our bill gets comped

[wispy field]

But i dont have a cable rn

[edgy laurel]

$75-$80 for Gigabit fiber? It is if you look at some of the smaller regional providers or certainly some other countries

[merry stirrup]

i have 2.5gbit, its not fiber

there is no better speeds or pricing in my area

[whole coral]

$75 a month for gigabit is pretty good imo

[wispy field]

I wanna get ethernet but i dont have a socket for ethernet

[whole coral]

My fiber ISP here is expensive. $120 a month for a gig

[edgy laurel]

oh right DOCSIS slums

[whole coral]

Hopefully competition brings that down

[merry stirrup]

there is not a single fiber based ISP in my area within 2 miles

so id have to move

[whole coral]

Damn that sucks

I hate cable ISP’s. They find ways to screw the customer over

[wispy field]

I would buy 1 gbps wifi but its way too expensive

[merry stirrup]

mine has been fine so far besides it being asymetrical

[whole coral]

I’m glad they are thinking more about upgrading their network plant to all fiber but still

[merry stirrup]

but i think its 500 up on my plan, hwich is totally fine

[edgy laurel]

every couple months when I upload something to youtube, thats the only time I notice my upload being fast

[whole coral]

I don’t think DOCSIS will last forever. I haven’t seen much growth in cable. Fiber is a different story though

[edgy laurel]

every other minute of the day it doesn't matter

[merry stirrup]

bro this surface dock is charging so fast to the point where the connector and cable are getting warm

[whole coral]

My cable ISP upgraded my job from DSL to fiber

[merry stirrup]

the og high flame rate connector

[whole coral]

Makes sense tbh

[edgy laurel]

when I upload another HDR clip and after a week YT still fucks me over...

[merry stirrup]

idk, this is like a 65w charging device i bet. i dont think it should get this warm lol

[wispy field]

Guys u wont believe me when i say this

1 gbps wifi home for 35 bucks

Cheap as fuck

[whole coral]

DSL is like 10 Mbps internet lol. Worse than cable

Maybe 100 Mbps if your lucky

[edgy laurel]

wifi?

[wispy field]

Yes

[edgy laurel]

so.. what is the actual service

[wispy field]

Wifi is good

[edgy laurel]

wifi is not your internet connection, its your internal wireless LAN

[whole coral]

GoNetSpeed is gonna offer 2 gigabit for like $60 a month

[wispy field]

1000 mbps is a lot

[whole coral]

Granted it’s a first year introductory rate

[merry stirrup]

2gbit is very fun

[whole coral]

They will also offer a $100 gift card for free

[merry stirrup]

whats not fun is seeing 80% cpu usage on a 13900ks while just downloading a game

[edgy laurel]

normal people can't possible use more than 2Gb down

[whole coral]

This

Unless you have like a massive family or you torrent

[edgy laurel]

at least through Steam

[merry stirrup]

not with current hardware no

you literally cant download faster than that

youd need hedt/just more cores

[whole coral]

Also not all servers actually support 2 gigabit

Some servers can only support like 1 gig, 500 Mbps, etc

[shell void]

i don’t mean to brag but i have twenty megabits per second of upload bandwidth on my wan connection

[pure garnet]

banger

[whole coral]

lol

[steel stream]

52c NVL says hello

[edgy laurel]

ltt actually did do a test on their 10Gb/s WAN link with a Threadripper system

but I don't actually think its a linear load

[merry stirrup]

yeah i think i saw that video im not sure the outcome tho

[edgy laurel]

whats fun is, if using in home transferring through steam, the sending PC is hit hard

its doing some sort of compression, maybe validation

but the recieving PC sees nothing

[whole coral]

That’s wild

[shell void]

zen 6 wont give us 100k+ in cinebench r23, but novalake will, and therefore it’s an easy choice

gotta pick what performs best in my favorite game

[pure garnet]

you better preorder it

[fringe vigil]

SILKSONG baby

[arctic bronze]

nova lake will be unpopular if intel does not fix their current issues and make something competitive lol

novalake is a dope name tho

[merry stirrup]

i will indeed be purchasing

[hoary hatch]

Diy gamers will largely pass NVL up unless the 8+16 BLLC SKUs are actually gaming competitive

[merry stirrup]

8+16 sku sounds enticing but i really want more cores

[hoary hatch]

There will be a pseudo HEDT market for 52c sku

[slim pebble]

Me for one, I’m there

[hoary hatch]

Yeah 8+16 BLLC if it actually works would be dope

[steel stream]

I am so torn between BLLC and 52c

but I am hyped for BLLC to be a competitve gaming chip

[hoary hatch]

If it is competitive I'm sold on BLLC single CCD

[slim pebble]

What’s the breakdown of the 52c? Like 4 low power e-cores, and two 8p/16e tiles?

[pure garnet]

has anyone actually reviewed arrow lake in a decent config

launch microcode with ddr5-6000 doesn't really mean much

[hoary hatch]

Reviewers? Naw

[slim pebble]

@topaz veldt has his setup right. Overclocked 8K+ memory and a 5090

[merry stirrup]

😭 i just dont want another 8 sku

[hoary hatch]

Stacking identical CCDs is much easier

But I'd rather have a 12P core tile and 48E core tile

[shell void]

yah

[hoary hatch]

I think those would be roughly the same size

[slim pebble]

The BLLC is for single tile chips only if I remember correctly.

[merry stirrup]

yes

[hoary hatch]

Although e core clusters look to be a little larger than p cores

[steel stream]

I've seen like one video

[hoary hatch]

So, 12P core tile + 32 (or 40) E core tile?

[merry stirrup]

i would be down for that

[hoary hatch]

And BLLC tile would be physically larger eh?

So that rumor of dual BLLC tiles I don't think is real

[merry stirrup]

i think that would be too much $

[hoary hatch]

cash or cache

[shell void]

yeah it’s not, that just mlid fud

[steel stream]

Let me check with fritzchen fritz

[hoary hatch]

Ahhh
14600k BF6 back to $150 at rotten eggs

[steel stream]

why did fritz not make the ARL die look pretty :(

[shell void]

fritz doesn’t approve of taiwanese lego

[merry stirrup]

yes

[steel stream]

ok actually valid

[merry stirrup]

silly surface wont install a bios update unless its at 40% even if plugged in

[gentle urchin]

what if the battery is really bad & you unplug the charger, then what

[merry stirrup]

replace the device

[steel stream]

ok Navy according to the pixels measurements from paint e core clusters are a tad bigger than a p core

[frank zealot]

holy fuckballs of scalping, batman:

[merry stirrup]

LMAO

it doesnt even WORK

[steel stream]

and for a dusty piece of shit too lol

[frank zealot]

best part

[pure garnet]

the lego gpu stand goes crazy

[frank zealot]

I know what you've got, 500 bucks, take it or leave it

[merry stirrup]

might be worth it at that price point

pain

[frank zealot]

yup, nerfing the fuck outta that 4080

[merry stirrup]

i wanna play with 780m/whatever but none of the chip it comes with are good or make any sense

[pure garnet]

i have the 680m

[low sorrel]

Just play at 4k with RT

[pure garnet]

it's pretty solid for what it is

[frank zealot]

a R5 8500 is perfectly fine for a HTPC

or an office PC

[merry stirrup]

doesnt have 780m tho

[frank zealot]

but as anything an enthusiast touches? it's meh

[merry stirrup]

yerp

[green marsh]

that is not scalping, that is "i want to sell it for same i paid for it" person

like people who do not understand that car loses 20-30% of value in the moment you take the key from the hands of the car dealer

[frank zealot]

it's a 4080 and Ryzen 5 8000G

If he paid 5 grand, he got scalped AF

I don't think 4080's broke 1500 at their worst scalping, really

[green marsh]

worst part about Ryzen 5000 series is the dead used market

[shell void]

5950x should be $150 at this point but it isn’t

[green marsh]

more like there are no 5000 series CPUs on used market outside full systems at all

and when talking about new, 5800XT makes no sense as upgrade from my 3700X/3900X/5700G CPUs, and 5900XT is 291 euros, which is a no-go from cost perspective, not worth it

[merry stirrup]

thats the price of a 5600 if youre lucky

[topaz veldt]

hell i posted mine for sale and i think it went for damn near $275

[topaz veldt]

Yes though mine is not great bin at all

[merry stirrup]

windows update is terrible software please stop overriding my newer gpu driver with your shit one

i even have it set not to autmatically install drivers

fuck you michaelsaft

[green marsh]

i had a 5950x, but it had the freezing idle core issue, so i RMAd it for full refund of original purchase price 😄

[shell void]

i don’t think it’s worth that much but that’s a W for you

[green marsh]

brand new 5600XT is 133 euros, but meh, not going to go from 3900X (12c/24t) to a 6c/12t CPU

[topaz veldt]

I had a 5900X straight up peace out some PCIe (NVMe) paths

[green marsh]

actually the only model which would make some sense is Ryzen 7 5700. 111 euros for 8c/16t ain't bad, but still, the performance increase is just not worth it over 3700X

[merry stirrup]

i thoughjt the 5700 was half cached

[frank zealot]

that should not be a CPU MODEL

Fuck you AMD >.<

[frank zealot]

the 5700 is the bad one

[green marsh]

possibly, i just mean, the whole 5000 lineup is not worth the price they ask for it

[frank zealot]

the 5700X is full cache

[dapper plaza]

Why YouTube doesn't have any support with alive people that can collect community feedback
It's like dystopian fortress without any way to call them out

[merry stirrup]

it is

[green marsh]

when i have 3700X/3900X, outside 5900XT nothing makes sense as upgrade

[merry stirrup]

the bad one

[topaz veldt]

my lord, stop

[shell void]

xtreme ai top

[frank zealot]

because that'd be a waste of their time

[topaz veldt]

I am tempted to try and sell my 285K/Z890 Apex and just do another 9800X3D/white mobo

[steel stream]

https://tenor.com/view/anton-chigurh-no-country-for-old-men-ok-oops-javier-bardem-gif-10579690

[frank zealot]

Also: You get / use their product for free.

Why would they pay people money to do live phone support for that? That'd be fiscally disasterous

[green marsh]

but then at same time, trying to sell 3900X/X570 system would be so much value lost, i might as well keep it just as a backup system if the 9590x one gives up

[shell void]

what is wrong with you

[topaz veldt]

this 285K is trash bin

[green marsh]

god people go full crazy with Pi builds, slowly they are doing full PCs with them 😄

[topaz veldt]

though I did get like 15-20 fps @ 4k tuning ring and cores

[shell void]

what clocks u running?

the p cores on arl don’t go high

[topaz veldt]

its only really stable at 55X p-core, 49X e-core

[shell void]

that’s pretty typical

[topaz veldt]

sync-all obv

[shell void]

5.5p 5.0e

[topaz veldt]

ya

i have had it at 5.0 e but for whatever reason its not happy now

[shell void]

maybe just sell the 285K and get a refresh sku

you don’t need five zen5x3d pcs

[green marsh]

ROFL someone is selling a monitor 😄

[frank zealot]

they're hilarious

[south shuttle]

thinn

meh, microled tinner

[deft forum]

Where is the monitpr

[frank zealot]

Granted, for running off a usb brick, the Pi5 is pretty baller, but... once you start spending as much on a case and accessories as you did on the Pi?

It's gettin weird

[topaz veldt]

this is prob the way to go

[green marsh]

same guy is selling a indoors fan + USB flash drive. Why are they selling it as a combo like that ? No idea

[south shuttle]

semi transparent microled is the only way

[frank zealot]

oled? microled?

[green marsh]

the white thing in middle

[merry stirrup]

should you

[south shuttle]

prob just thin lcd

[frank zealot]

yes

no

Probably

Maybe

Dunno

[green marsh]

also he called this "a disk drive for laptops". Based on size of the SATA power connector, i would be surprised if this drive fits in any laptop at all

[hoary hatch]

Man I wish I was as delusional as the Radeon glazers

[south shuttle]

you forgot about mayben’t

[topaz veldt]

@shell void is there any tangible improvement with the refresh you think?

[merry stirrup]

n

[merry stirrup]

what makes you say that

[fringe vigil]

YES SIIIIIRRRRRR

[frank zealot]

+200 mhz out of the box? Otherwise I haven't heard anything substantive about hardware changes

[shell void]

as far as i know it’s just a 13900k to 14900k situation

[topaz veldt]

but is it +200 fake boost shit

[merry stirrup]

they might fix default ngu and d2d who knows

365k gb was not exciting

[shell void]

i do believe that will happen yes

by the way that jaykihn was talking about it

[merry stirrup]

random gb result always to be taken lightly

[topaz veldt]

I am running 41 ring

it helped a bit

[deft forum]

Ur cpu looks new gen

[shell void]

i saw this and i dont think its real

they aren’t supposed to be using 300 naming and that result has the same clocks as the 265k

[deft forum]

What do you think,kventinky

[merry stirrup]

i never believe gb results i just thought id share it

[south shuttle]

my name has been misspelled agen

[south shuttle]

are you happy with your current performance rn?

[deft forum]

Im not sure

[south shuttle]

easy, don’t upgrade

[topaz veldt]

Tuning these cores and getting ring setup did lift fps quite a bit

[deft forum]

I need someth9ng both slick and g00d performance since i still games

[topaz veldt]

I am running stock d2d

[merry stirrup]

would help to run 200S boost numbers

[merry stirrup]

d2d on 200s boost is 3.2ghz

[south shuttle]

which games and what’s the resolution?

[topaz veldt]

yeah just incrementally bringing it in

[frank zealot]

holy shit, I'm gonna die laughing

i assume you didn’t uncap the game if it’s possible

i’d say keep your 3060, if it ain’t broke don’t fix it aslong you’re not unhappy with the performance

ok man

[frank zealot]

wasn't meant to be ragebait

[merry stirrup]

yeah i bought 10 of those outlets because they give me better audio quality for 65k totally worth it and real

[deft forum]

U are not in their league

[merry stirrup]

0/10 ragebait

[deft forum]

Well yes i know is nonsense to spend thousands into that outlet

[merry stirrup]

then shut up

[deft forum]

But if its got use, people still buy it

[merry stirrup]

youre trying to argue for no reason about something that was neber mentioned

it doesnt have a use. thats why its stupid and pointless.

[steel stream]

idiots* still buy it

[merry stirrup]

it preys on people who have no regard to think before their purchase

[deft forum]

U are stupid to not find out about their use, lol

[merry stirrup]

what is their use

[frank zealot]

I'm mocking a stupid product that has no reason to exist, and you're white knighting it while slobbering on ultra wealthy peoples boots.

Make it make sense

[merry stirrup]

tell me diamond lee the almighty

you clearly know the use of a 6,500$ outlet that isnt even gfci

[brave panther]

to separate suckers from their money

[deft forum]

Oh accusation, classic move when being mad indeed ?

[brave panther]

and they seem to work preatty well

[deft forum]

Have a day you deserve fellas

[merry stirrup]

im convinced ur just baiting

accusing you of knowing the use of something with no purpose yes

[frank zealot]

you make no sense what so ever

[deft forum]

I never said im almighty you see

[merry stirrup]

okay thats great youre sure acting like it

[steel stream]

please explain how they are worth it

[merry stirrup]

someone almighty would know the use of a 6500$ outlet, so maybe not

[frank zealot]

my favorite part is that they say you have to audition before you buy their shit

[merry stirrup]

LOL

[merry stirrup]

5000$ just for fun

[steel stream]

it's an outlet man, if I can get a clean 120V 20amps from it idc

i wonder how many of these sell i should change business ideas

so many easier and cheaper ways to get clean power

[shell void]

as far as i know yes

[topaz veldt]

Its a good workstation CPU

[fringe vigil]

loool

[shell void]

is that 5.5 and 4.9? seems a smidge low

[topaz veldt]

grrr

[slim pebble]

Pre-engineering sample?

[topaz veldt]

yes it is, it matches what I've seen

[merry stirrup]

wouldnt be named

would just be called geniune intel 0000 or similar

365K naming implies its not QS but release sample even

ig it could also be QS i see those with real namings sometimes

[merry stirrup]

but a preES is usually a thermal testing sample

[shell void]

oh interesting 46k is 5.6 5.0

i thought it was easy to get like 48K but i guess not

[topaz veldt]

yeah if the e's can stay at 5.0

[merry stirrup]

that has no function besides just heat

[topaz veldt]

I had this CPU at 46K

[slim pebble]

That’s not much less than what I get on a 9950X3D

[topaz veldt]

yeah - I get like 46.6K

the memory bandwidth on this thing kicks my 9950X3D ass though

[shell void]

sugi0lover has warped my perception of 285k cinebench scores because he gets like 50.5k xd

[topaz veldt]

yeah thats not AIO life lol

I wish there was white EPDM

I want to move this machine to watercooled CPU, but not on this CPU

[merry stirrup]

resell and buy another one

[shell void]

you want to DD WB the 285K sooooo bad

[pure garnet]

if this is standard on 365k i think people would like it a lot more

[topaz veldt]

maybe the next one

[merry stirrup]

i think people should just turn on 200S boost so long as they have a compatible kit of memory

[pure garnet]

not every sample can

[shell void]

has ur 8000 config been behaving kyoko

[pure garnet]

i have to run d2d on 30 with 1.2v vccsa

[topaz veldt]

I am on 8600 CL38 I think

[pure garnet]

yeah it's been solid

[topaz veldt]

you can't do 32?

[pure garnet]

nope

[topaz veldt]

weeeeird

leave all the voltages to auto for it

[shell void]

the lion does not concern himself with degradation

[pure garnet]

that's what it's at rn

[shell void]

he slams 1.45vccsa immediately

[pure garnet]

auto just has 1.18v set

[merry stirrup]

i don’t think any of us super should tbh

run stable settings the rest is irrelevant

[pure garnet]

oh actually it's like 1.3v now

[topaz veldt]

when you mess with voltages on ARL it does weird shit

[pure garnet]

interesting

[merry stirrup]

we all go through hardware so fast it literally doesn’t matter

[topaz veldt]

I can see it doing 1.2v SA... when I override it and do 1.2v SA its not as stable

[topaz veldt]

Its that whole dlvr whatever

[shell void]

part of me wants to run my 14900k delidded and with a 115c tjmax so that i can daily 6ghz until it explodes

[topaz veldt]

I was running like 5.8-5.9 GHz all core on an AIO stock IHS lol

[steel stream]

so like 2 hrs

[topaz veldt]

that thing ripped

[pure garnet]

i still don't have cpu power draw in afterburner which sucks

nah, build a wooden frame around it, and put a sheet of plexi over it, and use it as a portable D&D tabletop map

for a tabletop TV surface, OLED would be a waste of money

[violet wyvern]

Guys, I need help, so I am building a pc, but I am buying the components in prices of £80 or £160, Meaning for the cpu, there is no point going with a £120 cpu, It will be better to get a £160 iyk what I mean, if there is a component that is only like £30, then I won't go up in price unless it will benefit performance (exclude the GPU)

[merry stirrup]

what

[mint wren]

i feel like my cpu score is below average?
5800x3d with a rx 6900xt
32gb of DDR4 3777 ram

[merry stirrup]

its less than 1% off average, youre fine

you couldve done the math

[mint wren]

no i only do m3th sorry

[merry stirrup]

Could you restate? I dont understand

[merry stirrup]

crystal math

[frank zealot]

no, none of that makes sense

[merry stirrup]

only buying parts in mutiples of 80$

i get that much

i dont get why or the last part of the sentence/question

[frank zealot]

sort of, not that it makes sense

[merry stirrup]

i mean at least i understand what hes asking tho

i dont really need to know why its just that the rest of it

makes no sense

[shell void]

im going to go insane if we dont get some new cpus soon

[frank zealot]

AMD: New APUs that are somehow worse for enthusiasts than 5000 or 8000 APUs were!

[violet wyvern]

I am horrible at saving money from my job, I get paid £80-100 every other week, I know if I save for more than a month I'll start spending £5 here, £5 there and end up spending most of it, so whenever I get paid, I am want to spend it as soon as possible on components

[shell void]

*new intel cpus soon

[merry stirrup]

if youre young, just give money you want to save to your parents or something

this route you have planned internally is going to get you a terrible computer

[frank zealot]

buying parts that way is a terrible way to do it, unfortunately

[merry stirrup]

i get what youre saying but youre going to have to save to afford something like a GPU or even a cpu lol

which means youre going to have to learn how sooner or later

[steel stream]

Surprsie! More AM4 chips!

[merry stirrup]

its better when its not rent and just a computer you want

[shell void]

NOOOOOOO

[violet wyvern]

I am not getting the GPU yet

[merry stirrup]

or ever with your plan

[frank zealot]

Case
PSU
Board
CPU
Memory
Storage
GPU
Accessories

At that point you're looking at 3-5 months after you started, and all sorts of things are different as you do this

[hoary hatch]

Whowhatwhenwherewhy

[merry stirrup]

its better to buy parts all at once so you can test the computer while its inside of the return window

if you get fucked over on a doa board but you bought it 3 months ago youre screwed

[steel stream]

idk but it'll probably happen

[violet wyvern]

I am going to give the money to my mum when I save up for the gpu, but only for the gpu ii can't say why

[merry stirrup]

time to learn the art of placing money around your room and forgetting about it

[frank zealot]

So, one option if you have to trick yourself into doing things this way:

Buy gift cards for the store you're buying parts from, and collect those.

[violet wyvern]

I can't do that because I have family members that steal

[merry stirrup]

tkitch method ig 💀

make a goon sock of money

[frank zealot]

Where are you planning to buy parts from?

[merry stirrup]

you could buy at least your case, cooler, fans, and aesthetic stuff this way

but when it comes down to board, cpu, gpu youre going to have a tough time

[violet wyvern]

that was what I am doing first for sure

[merry stirrup]

because all of those parts individually is a lot more than 1 paycheck for you

so youre going to have to learn to save either way

[merry stirrup]

not unless you go used/compromise heavily

[violet wyvern]

Like I said, the gpu isn't going to be bought like this, but everything else is within the range, I am going to try and save for the cpu a bit more but like £200 tops

I was thinking like a 9600x

[merry stirrup]

i think you should just treat this scenario as practice to save money im going to be real

it seems like you kind of have it planned out already

[frank zealot]

and we're telling you that's a terrible way to buy things.

You are exceedingly likely to end up having problems

[merry stirrup]

so like yes we'll help you with a list but we cant advise you further yk

[violet wyvern]

yeah that's fine

[merry stirrup]

and i wouldnt start a list until you have at least half the money

or something, cause prices change a lot

country?

[violet wyvern]

I just want to have a list because it makes things easier when I eventually get to the point where I start (uk is country)

[merry stirrup]

least youre kinda lucky

[violet wyvern]

oh and only amazon for 99% of things

[frank zealot]

When someone says "I want to buy a PC in 6 months"

The only response is: Wait 5 months, and then make a list, cuz shit will change between now and then.

[violet wyvern]

1 or 2 things can be off of amazon

[merry stirrup]

need wifi?

[merry stirrup]

stuff is usually going to be cheaper on stores like scan or similar

[violet wyvern]

It would be nice, but don't wanna spend more than like £10-20 for it

[merry stirrup]

or orbit

[fringe vigil]

this french bish

[violet wyvern]

I have to be able to buy stuff with cash or gift cards that I can buy in stores

[frank zealot]

Then stick to amazon, and bank some gift cards

If in person is too risky? You can store gift cards in your personal amazon account

[wise bear]

based, come monday I'm pulling the trigger on a 5070ti

[merry stirrup]

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/DzVPrM

[steel stream]

what did the poor 70 Ti do to you

[shell void]

[merry stirrup]

pick the GPU yourself, cant really help you with that

not when your scenario is a little odd and its gonna be a minute

tried to make it worthwhile while sticking close to 80 or 160$ stepping

[wise bear]

I'm either gonna go into bestbuy or just nab one off amazon

[shell void]

my internet is so good guys

[merry stirrup]

with that you even get good ass ram so thats sick

oh wait nvm thats way more expensive than i read somehow

okay i fixed it

[frank zealot]

do you need it next week, or is a this xmas-ish an option?

[merry stirrup]

this means i need to buy a faster gpu

[wise bear]

I'm probably gonna nab it next week

[merry stirrup]

i just got paid ill go buy a 5090 or sumn

[frank zealot]

cuz the supers are coming out likely dec/jan and will have 50% more VRAM

[wise bear]

ughhhh

[frank zealot]

for fairly small price bumps

[wise bear]

FIIINE ill wait

[merry stirrup]

man if only i had cared enough to wait

[frank zealot]

(They're switching from 2gb to 3gb chips)

[merry stirrup]

16gb is plenty for me i will not need more

hardly use more than 12

[shell void]

i dont have high hopes for that

i wouldnt expect to be able to buy a 5070Ti Super for $750 for a long time

[frank zealot]

supers are usually in the 50-100$ more, which isn't unreasonable

[shell void]

youre gonna end up waiting like 8 months

by which point we'll be talking about the 60 series and the cycle continues

[frank zealot]

isn't the 70TI 750 msrp?

[wise bear]

there abouts yea

[merry stirrup]

something like that

[frank zealot]

so I expect the super to be in the 800 or 850 msrp

[shell void]

yes but that doesnt mean that youre going to be able to buy a 24GB 5070Ti Super for $750

especially not right at launch

[frank zealot]

which for a core bump, and extra RAM isn't a bad price bump

[shell void]

there is no shader or rop count or vram bandwidth increase

it's just extra capacity

[wise bear]

hm

[shell void]

i mean i hope that the super series is good but i wouldnt expect to be able to buy one for msrp this christmas xd

probably not until like spring of next year

[wise bear]

yeah and I'd really like that 4k performance bump that the 70ti'd give me

nor do I really wanna wait another 4 months

[shell void]

potentially 6 or 8 months for no performance gain, just extra vram

[wise bear]

and 16 is already more than my current 11 so like..

yeah i think im just gonna get the ti

[shell void]

looks like the PNY, Asus Prime, and Gigabyte Windforce are in stock at several retailers for $750

[frank zealot]

hmmm, the leaks show the 70 getting a cuda bump, but not the 70 TI or 80

[wise bear]

yeah i was looking at the prime

[merry stirrup]

twinsies

[frank zealot]

5070 = 6144 cores
5070S Leak = 6400 cores

[shell void]

nothingburger tbh but i like to see full dies nonetheless

[wise bear]

if that fucking minisforum board goes under $380 im nabbing that too

[frank zealot]

4% core bump? That's not terrible honestly.

Not exciting, but not terrible.

[shell void]

im curious about what the 5080 super FE will look like if there is one

[frank zealot]

what they should really release is a 5060 (TI) Super with 12GB

Watch a big chunk of complaints go away. (And maybe they'd move some of those 60 cores they can't sell now)

[shell void]

i hope they give it liquid metal and a vapor chamber like the 5090FE has

the 5080FE already runs hot at 350w now, bump that up to 415w and it's gonna be a screamer like the pro 6000

[merry stirrup]

https://www.elmorlabs.com/product/elmorlabs-pmd2/

want

[shell void]

are u gonna ask santa for it

that seems cheap considering it includes sleeved cables

[wise bear]

naw dip lobster in a mushroom sauce

[topaz veldt]

I don't weep but I just don't enjoy it - honestly crab > lobster anyway

[shell void]

that's big cap

jumbo snow crab legs are delicious but lobster is a more interesting texture to me

[wise bear]

im gonna aioli over how good this looks holy shit

[topaz veldt]

snow crab is fine but dungeness is whats up

[shell void]

ive only had snow, king, dungeness, and stone

snow is my fav out of those

stone is the worst easily

[topaz veldt]

combine that with this view

[topaz veldt]

stone sucks - people really just do the claws. snow is good. have you had blue crab?

I don't prefer the texture of lobster and its massively overpriced imho. Its almost just like a very large prawn/shrimp.

whats fun is watching GPU power while videos are playing now. At 4K, upscaling 720p to 4K takes less power than 1440p to 4K

[topaz veldt]

this is a good start

[topaz veldt]

I guess that makes sense - there's less source data?

[wise bear]

easier to generate more than there is to scan i guess

[edgy laurel]

what I never had solved was this conundrum.

Back when this launched, I had a 3090 and if you recall jir0we had that 3050.

If I set it to the highest priority, 1440p to 4K was friggin 350W on a 3090

but the same upscale on a 3050 was like 100w, or whatever the max power of that card was

[vagrant cargo]

oh yeah this is what im using as a monitor for now as my last one broke

[topaz veldt]

hm i wonder if the actual quality/output was different

[edgy laurel]

thats exactly what I never figured out. what gives, so to speak

[merry stirrup]

projecting /j

[vagrant cargo]

tbh im mostly waiting for my new monitors to stop been delayed and the production to resume so i can get them

[edgy laurel]

I feel like you'd enjoy this subreddit. organized by top all time
https://www.reddit.com/r/battlestations/top/?t=all

[vagrant cargo]

i do kind of dig this

[edgy laurel]

you know, for ideas

[topaz veldt]

no

[edgy laurel]

this is one of those upvoted for the memes

its kinda crap, tbh. shock value, sure

[bronze mango]

I loved it until I saw the Logitech

[edgy laurel]

but you don't want to actually live with that

[vagrant cargo]

i do know for my setup at the moment mine, im waiting for the monitors to release fully the 2 i got which are both lcd mini led monitors

[topaz veldt]

its hard to say - there's a lot of white box crap there prob with 120mm desktop fans - its prob not that bad

[vagrant cargo]

and i ordered the antec flow pro yesterday should arrive tommorow is what i set for delievry

[edgy laurel]

bro what...

[vagrant cargo]

i am looking to replace my pc desk with a longer one

[topaz veldt]

those are all rosewill farmer boxes

[vagrant cargo]

given how much the desk at the moment i own cost me its lasted me a long while

[topaz veldt]

I feel extremely claustrophobic looking at this

[vagrant cargo]

its just not great

[shell void]

i thought this was sick as hell until i saw the screen on the wall

[edgy laurel]

cool room but like.. i wouldn't have done the screen like that

[gentle urchin]

isn't there a bean bag in the background?
Aka, they pull out the bean bag when watching stuff?

[shell void]

maybe they like laying on the floor

[edgy laurel]

they had one job...

[vagrant cargo]

there was a pc desk i spotted in a furniture charity store in my town however it was missing apart of it

[topaz veldt]

it makes me feel like its in a submarine

[vagrant cargo]

i do buy furniture from charity stores only if its in ok condition

[edgy laurel]

the secret is kitchen tables, search for those in your local marketplaces

[edgy laurel]

i like it, but now i'm questioning the angle the desk

[gentle urchin]

Like pillows

[topaz veldt]

it seriously makes me feel claustrophobic

[edgy laurel]

i bet its hot up there lol

[topaz veldt]

def

[vagrant cargo]

i know im getting a l shaped desk and then i found a site what selfs room dividers and sound panels that can tighten onto a desk and also a pegboard system you can tighten onto many desks

[topaz veldt]

any finished attic/cape like that has minimal insulation

[vagrant cargo]

including a pegboard that can swivel

[topaz veldt]

like at most its 4" of gap between the drywall and shingles

[shell void]

it seems to only work for fullscreened videos

[gentle urchin]

It's so he can just turn around & see the TV-series/movie going on, duh

[vagrant cargo]

what in the hell

[topaz veldt]

yeah old post

[edgy laurel]

so, yes and no. it works if the viewport is larger than the video res

[vagrant cargo]

i know but jesus christ

[topaz veldt]

@vagrant cargo this was my ridiculous desk refinish/build

[vagrant cargo]

personally i know desk wise the new desk im considering having a metal frame on it

[vagrant cargo]

for me main thing i need is something like that can hold a very big case

because the new case i ordered yesterday is bigger than my corsair 4000d airflow

[edgy laurel]

much better

[shell void]

[vagrant cargo]

i like the idea of a tiny home but not van life as bathing and toilet use is normally done outside or with a outdoor shower

[topaz veldt]

this is great

[vagrant cargo]

also its gonna be awkard to store my collection of tech and stuff

[shell void]

i couldnt tell if this was an IPS or a QD-OLED at first

i zoomed in and saw lg so it's ips

[edgy laurel]

so the window. if you show stats for nerds on a youtube video, it'll show you the video res and the viewport size

[topaz veldt]

@edgy laurel I think that might be my wall color

[shell void]

oh that gets monkeyed up because of ui scaling

[wise bear]

blew out this poor sap's jaw jfc

[edgy laurel]

wow, yeah it does look the sameish

[shell void]

it's using a lot more than 1080p on my monitor but it doesnt think it is

[topaz veldt]

yeah mine is sherwin williams "software"

[vagrant cargo]

ok other than the postion of tv / slash monitor at top

i love how wild that pc build is

[edgy laurel]

setup needs some woodgrain speakers. the KRK's are ok but the yellow...

[vagrant cargo]

i dont use normal speakers i use headphones all the time

[topaz veldt]

i use both

[vagrant cargo]

currently i have my fiio ft1 on

i use that dan clark e3s and focal bathys mg at home or on the go

[vagrant cargo]

wow that makes his pc build really impressive

[wise bear]

dude running a tv that high is such a pain in the neck

[vagrant cargo]

yeah thats my only issue with that setup

tbh a set up i found just has inspired me for my setup in the future

[merry stirrup]

man iof only it was modern

[wise bear]

YOOOOOOO

[merry stirrup]

990FX yeeesh

[vagrant cargo]

never seen a portal themed set up

[wise bear]

I fucking love that

[vagrant cargo]

i would love something like this but maybe for akira and cyberpunk stuff

maybe adjusting the side thing to be on legend of zelda or CONTROL

im gonna see if any one has made a FBC themed pc setup

[edgy laurel]

man i've given you hours of entertainment sharing that sub lol

[topaz veldt]

I want remote mount q-code readouts for my HTPCs

[vagrant cargo]

tbh i literally spend hours watching videos on set ups and weird pc builds on youtube

i have considered seeing if i can get a pepsi mini fridge the shape of a can of pop and turning that into a pc

or a dr pepper one

[humble otter]

So is there a video on how to build a nas from scratch like a good one

[edgy laurel]

a ton of them

[merry stirrup]

theres hardly a thing as a bad nas

[topaz veldt]

like a few PB?

[vagrant cargo]

now im assuming this person has a health reason for this set up to be needed

[pure garnet]

windows dynamic disks instead of raid

[merry stirrup]

turns on
is not from 1998
has storage

[gentle urchin]

Bulldozer

[vagrant cargo]

because that stand on wheels is from a hostipal or doctors pratice

[merry stirrup]

the thing is that this would still work flawlessly but just slow

[edgy laurel]

youtube literally has an unending supply for every sort of configuration people can come up with. if you're starting with zero knowledge though, you're going to have a bad time since you don't know what you want/need

[vagrant cargo]

wait that looks like the thing they use in dentists

[merry stirrup]

most off the shelf nas's are n100 based, i think that says enough about what hardware is required lol

[pure garnet]

last i knew it didn’t have recovery methods but maybe im wrong

i used to keep my games on a windows dynamic disk made of old laptop hard drives

[merry stirrup]

this is fire

[pure garnet]

i had quite the setup

[edgy laurel]

@topaz veldt dude is just trying to do things. comments: absolutely will never get cleared for that.

but somehow... i wonder

[humble otter]

I legitimately can't find anything useful that isn't reusing an optiplex YouTube is serving me trash

[vagrant cargo]

ok im hit and miss on this but i do kind of like the monitors

[merry stirrup]

reusing an optiplex lowkey is a good plan

[wise bear]

dude's got priorities lmao

[humble otter]

I know how to build a PC it's more looking for nas parts software setup etc

[merry stirrup]

where is the gooning stuff

[edgy laurel]

don't know what to search for, since you're searching too broadly. If you go in knowing what OS you're interested in at the very least, thats a start

[wise bear]

sir this is a swat team]

[vagrant cargo]

is that cgi / ai it looks visually uncanny

[topaz veldt]

I dunno man... I have a feeling the people at the helm today support it and want the publicity

[wise bear]

ready or not (game)

[vagrant cargo]

ah thats why

[pure garnet]

truenas scale is pretty much the go to option for a nas os

[vagrant cargo]

tbh i dont recall alot about that game since last time i played it

[wise bear]

shooty shooty swat commander here to order subordinates and save the day

[edgy laurel]

yeah no, i think he'll find a way. typically though, civilians don't get to just fly into AFB's if they ask nicely lol

[pure garnet]

then yeah i’d just do old desktop with enough hard drive spaces

[topaz veldt]

Thats why it'll be a marketing project

[vagrant cargo]

is that a build based on alien?

or warhammer

[humble otter]

On my parts shelf I have a 7820x which is probs overkill

[vagrant cargo]

this one upsets me a bit because of the monitor and speakers im assuming the person who made this is really tall

[edgy laurel]

reminds of when build logs on forums were more popular. loved reading through those

[fringe vigil]

this little bish ass
