[frank zealot]

I'm annoyed that they stopped making the 5700x3d

[merry stirrup]

i wish the 5600x3d fr dropped in the states

[topaz veldt]

sigh

[merry stirrup]

that would in fact be a banger chip today

[frank zealot]

250-300 bucks for a 5700x3d

[pure garnet]

yeah that’s insane

[frank zealot]

it did, I own a 5600x3d

[floral spear]

I'm annoyed that they released the 7600X3D way along after I built my PC

[merry stirrup]

microcenter only

or if you get lucky on ebay

[frank zealot]

I did get mine at MC lol

[merry stirrup]

but youll never get one for a reasonable price unless it was at mc or you dont live in the states

[floral spear]

I could've PayPal someone nearby an MC to give me one instead of buying a 7600X

[merry stirrup]

cause its out in other countries like brazil and etc

as a real official chip

[pure garnet]

isn’t the 7600x3d only in bundles

[wraith steeple]

I heard through the grapevine that Micro Center will carry Alphacool products soon

[frank zealot]

no you can buy the chip alone

[floral spear]

Hi Snail how's the Beemer

[topaz veldt]

I think its OK

[frank zealot]

that'd be cool

[wraith steeple]

Even Phanteks products (or at least I don't recall my local MC carrying them)

[pure garnet]

this is brand new 7800x3d money

[frank zealot]

they currently don't.

[topaz veldt]

wow those prices are foolish

[floral spear]

Can the president just say "I'm sowwy" and just give us Americans Deepcool back

[wise bear]

phanteks has kinda died a bit tbh

[merry stirrup]

lmaoooo

[wraith steeple]

https://youtu.be/eA_wUXmDZ70?si=G-SucPuciV7L7dTo

[frank zealot]

some people will dedicate bank to keeping AM4 alive for no clear reason

[floral spear]

I think the price that you quoted me for your 7800X3D is much cheaper than this

[spare valve]

--4060 ti 8GB

• Ryzen 5 5600
  -Kinston SA2000M8500G
  -Gigabyte B550M S2H
  -Corsair cmk16gx4m2b3200c16 I think this is all

[merry stirrup]

i dislike the usb dropout platform

[floral spear]

Wait a minute.

[wise bear]

the presidential carrot has never said sorry in his life and I don't think he's gonna start now

[pure garnet]

3200c16 is slow now?

[spare valve]

alr

[floral spear]

This is a Walmart grade PC spec

[topaz veldt]

wrong presidente

[frank zealot]

there's absolutely nothing wrong with these specs.

Anyone telling you parts of this are "slow" are on crack

[spare valve]

what does that mean im european

[topaz veldt]

The presidente who banned DeepCool is still trying to find his shoes

[devout ridge]

cheap as fuck

[spare valve]

even for 1440p gaming?

[floral spear]

The type-a shit you unironically see in Walmart CyberPower type shit

[wraith steeple]

Ah okay was going to say. Though them doing a build in the NV7 got me hyped

[wise bear]

Hey I didn't like him either

[spare valve]

it was also a prebuilt so makes sense

[topaz veldt]

Blame him though

[teal orbit]

Is that 64G ram? Or is the gx4 not related

[frank zealot]

I wouldn't push high end AAA Games on it, but your shooters will do just fine

[topaz veldt]

That sanction against DeepCool is so incredibly dumb

[brisk jolt]

inb4 they whiff some part of their generation again

[wise bear]

I blame all of the current govt over 40

[floral spear]

I cannot call or talk to Deepcool into sending me a replacement unit or a discount for a new one because of it

[topaz veldt]

I blame the north pole

[topaz veldt]

What are you looking for

[wise bear]

I just blame humans tbh, we're a parasitic breed

[spare valve]

yeah but also im on 500gb and theres only one slot i believe im really tight on space and dont want external storage soo

[topaz veldt]

imagine how much better we'd be if the north pole were gone

[pure garnet]

so get a bigger ssd

[frank zealot]

so upgrade to a 2TB and replace the 500

[floral spear]

Just a CH360 replacement but my warranty is long gone

[wise bear]

dude imagine if we just yeeted florida off into the sea

[wraith steeple]

Also very brave of them to do Carbon tubing

[brisk jolt]

they banned deepcool so lets make a new brand called highhot

[topaz veldt]

watch your fvcking mouth

[wise bear]

florida is so mid though cmon

[floral spear]

Oh yea peyton

[topaz veldt]

what is a ch360

[brisk jolt]

some fuckass case

[floral spear]

Oh right you're rich you wouldn't know about middle class cases

[teal orbit]

???

[topaz veldt]

I dunno case numbers

[wraith steeple]

Nooooo that's where PPCs is

[spare valve]

yeah but im thinking when i replace my ssd then i need external temporary storage and i really want a stronger cpu so might aswell get a new fucking pc for a net cost of 400 euros after i sell this one

[devout ridge]

wtf

do you think people are aware of every case that exists?

[wise bear]

We'll do selective relocation and put the jersey fuckers on there too before we disconnect it

[merry stirrup]

what do you need temporary storage for besides a usb to install windows

[floral spear]

Pretty cool run of the mill mATX Case

[pure garnet]

i think i’ve exhausted my interest in this discussion

[merry stirrup]

yeah i am getting

[slim solstice]

I like that.

With the integrated screen and and

[spare valve]

i want to transfer my clips mainly to my new pc

[pure garnet]

“i need a $20 temporary drive enclosure so i should buy a new pc instead”

[wise bear]

lmao

[merry stirrup]

so use a 64gb flashdrive

[slim solstice]

Just clone your drive bro

[merry stirrup]

thats gross and id never do that

[spare valve]

not enough

[slim solstice]

That's unreal bri

[floral spear]

Oh yea peyton before it slips out of my mind

[slim solstice]

U taking to me?

[merry stirrup]

you can...do it... multiple times...

[floral spear]

A new Japanese BBQ opened up in my area

[frank zealot]

more people just need to buy the HAVN 420 case

[merry stirrup]

if you have more than 128gb of clips you need to delete your clips and maybe youd be able to download another game

[floral spear]

I'm about to go there and eat later

[brisk jolt]

https://tenor.com/view/initial-d-shingo-crash-cool-vibrations-gif-19948182

[merry stirrup]

if you have 128gb of clips and dont have them edited already you shouldnt have them

[topaz veldt]

I got 17 round clips

[floral spear]

Want to see pics of it? I haven't tried Japanese BBQ before

[devout ridge]

“i’ll edit them one day”

[floral spear]

I hope it's as good as Korean

[brisk jolt]

why are you publicly spreading our secret forbidden technique

[merry stirrup]

fr i be tryin to make tage's but im just lazy and end up deleting the clips

[topaz veldt]

I think I will eat salad

[floral spear]

I have 162gb of clips on my phone

[slim solstice]

Help guys where do I find the JDM wallpaper of lively I saw it in the screensaver demo

[serene sonnet]

Oh yeah that'll do it lmao

[merry stirrup]

probably not it

[devout ridge]

no damaged traces to be seen

[pure garnet]

i mean none of those are bridging

[merry stirrup]

none of those look severed or connected together

[wise bear]

yeah thats just the trace covering scraped off

[merry stirrup]

may be a sign but thats not the cause

[slim solstice]

Oh lol your trace lines are exposed, better tape them up before it shorts

[frank zealot]

https://youtu.be/v7aRWcM0AFE?si=1ueTUr-K9YB-_Z_D

[brisk jolt]

goat

[wraith steeple]

That case actually looks fun to build in ICL

[frank zealot]

I kinda want one

[slim solstice]

They gonna sever soon by a inevitable being called the test of time

[merry stirrup]

can we see the socket? maybe try ccleaning that area with a light brushin

[serene sonnet]

They probably are already, because this board is dead as a rock lol

[edgy laurel]

oh wait thats 10 months ago

[slim solstice]

Asthetic and airflow... Mmmmm

[frank zealot]

the 360 isn't out yet

[brisk jolt]

flys time

[edgy laurel]

i thought that was new HAVN content

[slim solstice]

What if you just scrape a bit farther and then reconnect them using some fine copper wires

[serene sonnet]

I really can't find anything other than that scraped cover on the back

[frank zealot]

sadly still waiting on the new one, altough the 360 is a very very very different style of case

[pure garnet]

i wonder if that guy got his 9950x3d for the 5700xt yet

[slim solstice]

U have a multimeter?

[topaz veldt]

I got mine

[merry stirrup]

got it

bent pin right there, use a needle and fix it

[devout ridge]

eagle eyes

[merry stirrup]

ive done this 20+ times

[slim solstice]

Looking here it looks like it's been spilt into four

[edgy laurel]

i can't see shit

[merry stirrup]

is one missing here?

right above the previous bent one

[slim solstice]

Oh god I hope not

Even if it's missing I hope it's only a ground pin

[devout ridge]

best find out

[merry stirrup]

i cant draw the design of an LGA pin but i can tell you its VERY VERY weird

they look considerably more fucked than they are

[pure garnet]

those pins are for vccgt

[slim solstice]

How much was this board

[slim solstice]

Is that important?

[serene sonnet]

I ain’t even see this one irl

[pure garnet]

igpu would probably like those yeah

[serene sonnet]

$25

[slim solstice]

Used?

[serene sonnet]

Duh

[merry stirrup]

i think its VSS i cant tell

[serene sonnet]

z390 board for $25

[slim solstice]

Is it like expensive new?

[serene sonnet]

Not made anymore

[slim solstice]

But expensive?

[frank zealot]

I used a cell phone on a small tripod, zoomed in to see it clearly, and then used pointy tools to fix a couple pins before

It's easier than buying a microscope

[serene sonnet]

Sure ig

[pure garnet]

readable copy

[slim solstice]

Im sure there are a ton of other boards that fit your requirements for a bit higher than this but if you don't want to keep it you can sell it for parts

[serene sonnet]

Here?

Oh down there

[slim solstice]

There a hair over thete

[merry stirrup]

the tip of the one i circled looks to be backwards

[slim solstice]

Near the notch

Does a hair matter?

[merry stirrup]

no

[serene sonnet]

Oh wait there is some foreign object in here lol

[slim solstice]

I don't think so cuz I shed a lot of hair and I took my cpu out for paste and nothing went wrong

It's just his hair the entire time lol

[frank zealot]

use some canned air to get out that hair and take that picture again

[merry stirrup]

for the most part a small amount of paste in the socket would be fine but dont be like me and basically do that one meme

https://tenor.com/view/thermal-paste-cpu-motherboard-thermal-paste-cpu-cpu-thermal-paste-gif-24047580

[devout ridge]

would most likely still function btw

[slim solstice]

There's some kind of gunk in the right bottom corner pin

[frank zealot]

LTT did test this and dumped a fuckton of paste in the socket and it was fine lol

[slim solstice]

Of the picture

[slim solstice]

Compression= paste exit

Paste exit = pin contact

Pin contact= most of the pins required will work

[merry stirrup]

doesnt work too well on lga lol

[slim solstice]

What about cga hmmm???

I mean bga

[frank zealot]

bga is soldered, so good luck

[merry stirrup]

depends on if the paste is corrosive or conductive

[slim solstice]

Why does that paste tube look like the yeesterpaste packageing

[serene sonnet]

@merry stirrup will try to look better at it with a magnifying glass or something similar

[slim solstice]

Ik but I'm curious

[devout ridge]

rip to all the people still using silver thermal paste

[merry stirrup]

3d rendered

[slim solstice]

Put a drop of water on your phone camera and then take the board and show the pins to it so the water droplets won't get disturbed

[slim solstice]

I know bro I'm not 60 years old

[slim solstice]

Diy macro lens

That's how robert hook discovers the cell in a cork slice

[frank zealot]

For your tech gore needs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t52UW5bXkbs

[merry stirrup]

slay

yeah on any board showing no signs of life id check the pins first cause its probably not even detecting a cpu

[slim solstice]

Mmmm blue paste

[slim solstice]

Reseat cpu???!!?

[serene sonnet]

Yeah only sign of life is that aorus power on flash that all their boards have

[frank zealot]

https://youtu.be/t52UW5bXkbs?t=83

[merry stirrup]

i did this with a considerably smaller amount of paste on lga 1700 and killed my board with no reasonable repair possible and it dropped a channel

[serene sonnet]

@merry stirrup since I’m like very blind to this, could you circle like even more specific which pin I’m looking at?

[frank zealot]

what paste?

[merry stirrup]

i think it was duronaut

[frank zealot]

interesting, idk

[merry stirrup]

or nt h1

one of those two since thats all i buy

[edgy laurel]

nth1 def isn't blue

[merry stirrup]

my paste not the ltt paste lol

[turbid locust]

NTH1 is love NTH1 is life

[merry stirrup]

i tried my best, the photos arent of the highest quality so its possible what i saw was a random anomaly

[frank zealot]

for this vid, they used grey paste:

[pure garnet]

i have 10g of nt-h1

[serene sonnet]

This one with the hair visible is the best picture I could get without flash, charging my phone now tho

[merry stirrup]

the bottom left plastic notch

[turbid locust]

I have a 30g tube of KPX somewhere but I’m not wasting that on ambient

[frank zealot]

MX-4 was used here (Makes sense, since it's cheap to waste)

[merry stirrup]

closest to the middle of the socket

[wraith steeple]

Blue paste is KPx and that meme MX-5 (that I know of for Blue pastes anyway)

[serene sonnet]

Want me to get some more images?

After careful compressed air cleaning

[frank zealot]

MX-6 is back to grey

[merry stirrup]

would be cool

[pure garnet]

floppa i think we looked at the diagram wrong

i think those pins are more important than vccgt

[merry stirrup]

oh did we

oh is it mirrored or something?

[pure garnet]

it's 90 degrees turned

[merry stirrup]

ohhhh

[pure garnet]

vs the socket swagus has

[serene sonnet]

Will return with that in a bit, doesn’t hurt trying all this stuff tbh, because the board was cheap and sold as not working / for parts

[pure garnet]

yeah something to learn on at least

[merry stirrup]

may as well its always worth it

[edgy laurel]

More coverage of what @pure garnet posted about yesterday. https://www.neowin.net/news/root-cause-for-why-windows-11-is-breaking-or-corrupting-ssds-may-have-been-found/

[merry stirrup]

i get ewaste old xoc boards that make a pretty penny with broken sockets from local pc shops

should go try to do that again

[serene sonnet]

I wish I could just get ewaste PCs and what not

[merry stirrup]

ii love it

[serene sonnet]

We don’t really have that here due to laws

[topaz veldt]

This is a fake article

[pure garnet]

the guy i bought my strix from does socket replacements before reselling

[merry stirrup]

yeah this is a kinda common thing

i just cant do any socket repair obviously so a cooked socket is basically the end for me

if i can adjust the pins thats dope if not its garb/parts

i keep a couple older boards for parts just cause older boards had literally a million SMDS

[edgy laurel]

how so

same source https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/ssds/new-report-blames-phisons-pre-release-firmware-for-ssd-failures-not-microsofts-august-patch-for-windows

[topaz veldt]

I dunno but I linked an article yesterday and someone told me it was fake

I was just doing my part

[edgy laurel]

lol

[topaz veldt]

literally "nice fake article"

[pure garnet]

https://www.facebook.com/groups/153371355282677/?multi_permalinks=1766174040669059

[wraith steeple]

[topaz veldt]

So how are retail SSDs using pre-prod firmware?

[edgy laurel]

The original drives the Patient 0 japanese guy on twitter had? dunno

[topaz veldt]

Yeah dunno

It seems like a hail mary

[pure garnet]

have there really been that many confirmed cases

[edgy laurel]

sure been a lot of people claiming it

any weird drive hiccup, or even HDD's dying, its been blamed

[merry stirrup]

yeah the atf shot my drive too

[brisk jolt]

people will take the closest excuse to them and pin the blame elsewhere

[devout ridge]

the atf will run out of bullets before they can shoot all my drives

[merry stirrup]

LOL

[topaz veldt]

so its like... either A) still wtf or B) how do people have engineering sample firmware code on NVMe lol

[devout ridge]

live laugh love low capacity, free hdds

[pure garnet]

supposedly oems didn't flash it right/after

[topaz veldt]

https://tenor.com/view/nuh-uh-meme-nuh-uh-benjammins-not-today-no-gif-109082759312517184

[merry stirrup]

yes huh i have video proof

[edgy laurel]

so they sold drives with pre-release firmware

[topaz veldt]

that seems highly unlikely

[brisk jolt]

im the wall i can confirm he’s telling the truth

[merry stirrup]

this is like intel officially selling QS samples on accident

[edgy laurel]

unlikely, but possible

[merry stirrup]

i dont htink its ever happened

[brisk jolt]

i think intel should sell me a godbin 265k

real

[merry stirrup]

doesnt exist it would be a 285k

[edgy laurel]

Corsair putting out some Force 600 or whatever they're called with the wrong firmware.. i could see it

[brisk jolt]

exactly

[merry stirrup]

265k for a reason

[pure garnet]

i got the macintosh bin 265k

[brisk jolt]

284k here i come

[pure garnet]

can't run 32 d2d

[merry stirrup]

i mean i guesss

[topaz veldt]

Also... whats in the pre-release firmware that breaks? LOL

this whole thing is so dumb

[edgy laurel]

very, very dumb

[merry stirrup]

pre-release by itself means nothing yeah

[edgy laurel]

meanwhile i can't escape the threads of people freaking out trying to block updates, asking "if their drives will be ok"

[merry stirrup]

for all we know it could be faster than the release firmware and better in every way

[topaz veldt]

"PCDIY! in China says its pre-release firmware and PHISON confirms so like yep" lol what

So pre-release firmware ... a Windows Update does what exactly

[merry stirrup]

gonna make the linux crowd even more antsy

[pure garnet]

the facebook post said something about overprovisioning

[edgy laurel]

thats the thing, i'm still not sure why this windows update is being blamed at all. the OG japanese guy made that connection on his own simply because he recently installed it

[merry stirrup]

@merry stirrup

[topaz veldt]

Have you tried my pin-straightening tool?

[edgy laurel]

@topaz veldt $5k to rent the FF for a day. This kinda track.. what would you do there? drifting, i guess

[merry stirrup]

those top down ones are probably going to be the best style here. I cant see anything out of the ordinary in these post cleaning and flash photos

[topaz veldt]

Drifting or like they do at MPACT

$5K is not that bad - MIR rentals are up there

[edgy laurel]

dragstrip i get. not sure about this relatively small oval

[topaz veldt]

Yeah MPACT they do roll/drags on the straight

pocono is bigger, though

[merry stirrup]

ctrl+shift+restart to go into troubleshooting menu right?

[edgy laurel]

i think its just shift

[merry stirrup]

thx

[edgy laurel]

i just use the button in settings

[merry stirrup]

cant login

[edgy laurel]

oh

[merry stirrup]

work surface that hasnt been logged into in a long time i have to reinstall windows

[edgy laurel]

i guess also something like the spectator drags he does

[edgy laurel]

https://youtu.be/lYDE3oq6fL4

[serene sonnet]

I found more scratch on the back, something is probably shorting here. How does someone even handle a board this badly

[edgy laurel]

I like how they're the same person

[merry stirrup]

improperly stored with other boards

aka. just left in a stack or pile

[edgy laurel]

certainly some solder mask scratched away but exposed traces doesn't mean shorting

unless they're torn or actually shorted to another

[merry stirrup]

i can’t tell but yeah

wipe off areas of concern with ipa and see if anything changes

[serene sonnet]

I have stood here with a magnifying glass, while they dont look to be broken off or connecting to other traces, I can bet that it could also be a small enough potential somewhere that it shorts without it really looking like it

[topaz veldt]

those are sketch as hell

[edgy laurel]

wheel to wheel with randoms with questionable qualifications on a likely unfamiliar oval and a sense of needing to show off? what could possibly go wrong?

[topaz veldt]

there have been some really bad, bad smacks

[edgy laurel]

all i know is, you need a 911 Turbo, gutted Model S Plaid or wild Evo to win

[merry stirrup]

wild evo you say

[serene sonnet]

@merry stirrup safe to say the mobo is dead to me lol

[merry stirrup]

give a flopper an evo 8

or an evo 4 gsr

even a vr8 galant ill take it

[topaz veldt]

color shirt guy seems REALLY nervous all the time

[devout ridge]

he has to work with linus, what do you expect

[edgy laurel]

[devout ridge]

linus adds a +50bpm debuff to anyone in a 50m radius

[edgy laurel]

^ color shirt guy

[devout ridge]

DANger

wonder what his name is

guess we’ll never know

[merry stirrup]

me too

[topaz veldt]

Color shirt guy

[edgy laurel]

also that is a 3D Pipes shirt

[devout ridge]

it has been decided

[merry stirrup]

and its GOATED

[devout ridge]

it is color shirt guy

[edgy laurel]

oh there are more https://www.lttstore.com/products/screensaver-party-shirt?srsltid=AfmBOoqNoRlTncP-apM011xq5KJRErfsTBSb73Okz5zvRjY0Sq-2fb_I

w9x default background would be fire

well not default but apart of the plus pack i think

[edgy laurel]

lttstore infuriates me with scrolling

just scroll the whole page, i hate when different elements scroll depending on what you're hovering over

[merry stirrup]

one more, its also cool

Chess from 3.X is a classic

damn

[merry stirrup]

its bliss

[merry stirrup]

i am a 30 year old trapped in a 19 year olds body

bliss is also just peak wallpaper

i really like 90s era 3d tho

[devout ridge]

ITS A REAL PLACE?

[merry stirrup]

YES

YOU DIDNT KNOW BLISS WAS REAL?

[devout ridge]

IDK MAN

[signal parrot]

You gonna look back on that when you're 30 and say that wasnt true

[merry stirrup]

yes, but i do know a lot about older things that i have no business knowing

[edgy laurel]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bliss_(photograph)

[whole coral]

About to do some coding today in programming class lol

[wraith steeple]

Sad to see Bliss turn to this

[whole coral]

First time I’m taking coding seriously

[edgy laurel]

well I wouldn't expect you to do some chemistry experiments in there

[signal parrot]

Kinda normal to know things about things that existed before you were born

[brisk jolt]

Im surprised Iroh didnt know bliss was real lmfao

[whole coral]

This seems so easy to me but maybe it’s not easy

[merry stirrup]

yes it is normal for me to have a favorite windows 98 PLUS edition wall paper 27 years after it came out and 10 years before i was alive

[signal parrot]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[wraith steeple]

Windows 95 startup chime will always hold a special place in my heart

[merry stirrup]

i like that old ass macintosh sounds

[signal parrot]

XP for me

O'Rear said that he did not digitally enhance or manipulate the photograph in any way

[merry stirrup]

ive never actually had any mac

[edgy laurel]

my elementry school had Mac LC's

Wait a second the store maplin is still a thing in the uk i thought it shut down years ago?

Neat tbh I did always prefer maplins over currys pc world

I do know comet is making a return with a online website soon

[wraith steeple]

My first experience with macs were in school. It was a huge culture shock for me as I thought there from the future despite being several years or a decade old at that point

[vagrant cargo]

Also I found a desk i somewhat like for my pc but I have to move furniture around as its very deep depth wise

guilty how do i setup auto hdr

[edgy laurel]

what generation of Mac's?

[wraith steeple]

G3-G4s

[merry stirrup]

is it just an enable and forget typa thing

[brisk jolt]

ive had a late 2015 mac and it was alright, HDD was slow as shit tho

[merry stirrup]

do i have to redo hdr calibration after a driver reinstall thru ddu?

[brisk jolt]

slap auto HDR and tweak RTX HDR then call it a day xd

[edgy laurel]

the one built into Windows? Just turn it on in HDR settings. I think RTX HDR is better. thats done per-game or in the global tab of NVApp. I suggest per game, so you don't override games with native HDR.

[merry stirrup]

thats what i meant

the nvidia one not the wondows one

[edgy laurel]

don't turn on autoHDR and try to use RTX HDR a tthe same time

[merry stirrup]

okie lol

[edgy laurel]

use the individual game tab in NVApp to turn it on per game, then when in game hit Alt-F3 to see if its applied

and to tweak it

[merry stirrup]

okie

sounds gucci shawty

[edgy laurel]

Alt-F3 being the Nvidia filters menu

[merry stirrup]

ohhhh okay makes sense

[edgy laurel]

since thats effectively what it is

[merry stirrup]

just a good lut filter

[brisk jolt]

[edgy laurel]

its not perfect, but it works well enough for online games that don't have native HDR and can't be modded

[wraith steeple]

ISTG it's hard to believe that they're 20+ years old now

[merry stirrup]

i bet i can use it in things like anomaly

psiweri or whatever his channel name is?

[topaz veldt]

He makes me anxious with his anxious

[merry stirrup]

thats who i watched for old mac content (and just older pcs in general)

[edgy laurel]

Dan being a spaz, pretty normal

[topaz veldt]

"This room is great for relieving anxiety"
"It feels like a therapist room"
"Thats not a thing you should say"

dude needs to chill lol

[edgy laurel]

I wanna watch that, its been a good series so far

[wraith steeple]

Yep at that time I was blown away to find out that those were the 'old' computers at the schools LMAO. There was even an iMac G3 and iBook G3 Clamshell that were primarily used for book lookups in the library

[topaz veldt]

My step brother had that imac that was a CRT monitor that was clear blue

[wraith steeple]

I don't remember which one the iMac G3 was... It was either Bondi Blue or Blueberry as it definitely had the older optical drives before the SL models

Also had that dreadful hockey puck mouse

[frank zealot]

I think Dan's default existence is just "Stressed beyond all reason"

[topaz veldt]

dude you know what I just realized I want?

instead of the rubber grips on my Superlight mices, I want them stippled

[merry stirrup]

why not stippled rubber? im asking the real questionhs

@merry stirrup I'm on a roll, might do another YOLO, but also one that I might be able to profit from, old gaming PC with basically same components like this one i5 9th gen, 16GB ram, b365 mobo, but here is a bonus with GTX 1660 6GB, it's for $100 roughly

[merry stirrup]

moderately good price

good for a plex server

[serene sonnet]

It doesn't boot into windows is the issue

[merry stirrup]

but it boots?

[serene sonnet]

I'm testing it B4 buying

[merry stirrup]

just the drive/install itself likely

[green marsh]

dude, people are gifting stuff like this, even that sounds like too much for it 😄

[merry stirrup]

yeesh

[serene sonnet]

Sempron😭

[serene sonnet]

Worst case scenario it's a bad mobo again, or CPU thing, but like the other stuff in the PC is worth more than $100, and I have a selection of components I can swap between

[pure garnet]

is 13h of karhu good enough for stable

or should i wait the full 24

[topaz veldt]

only you can decide

[pure garnet]

i think i'll wait the 11h for the screenshot

then i'll start trying to minimize voltages

[granite dirge]

Oh gosh hp Compaq branding that takes me back.

[edgy laurel]

just go all in, grip tape

@granite dirge knows what i'm talking about

[granite dirge]

I mean grip tape on top honestly idnt that bad sounding if it's a very fine grit so it dosnet exfoliate

[edgy laurel]

if your hand isn't bleeding, are you even gaming?

[granite dirge]

I mean include a rubber eraser to clean the gamer gunk off the mouse

[edgy laurel]

🤢

[granite dirge]

But can you do a mouse flip.

[edgy laurel]

true

[granite dirge]

Also if you want to see just skateboarding mysticism. Look up jaws vs the Leon 25.

eSIM >>> Physical SIM though

Dual eSIM is so nice.

[edgy laurel]

til eSIM stands for embedded, not electronic

[merry stirrup]

embedded makes less sense to me somehow

[topaz veldt]

basically what I have but the glue wears and then it slideds and is sticky

[edgy laurel]

yep, had that happen on many mice. usually a sign that I should just replace it

[topaz veldt]

or just do this

[edgy laurel]

I still got a 2013 Deathadder kicking around somewhere that just is missing its rubber grips

[edgy laurel]

otherwise, in perfect working order

oh you mean right into the plastic?

[topaz veldt]

yup

[merry stirrup]

idk i wouldnt want to modfy my mouse like dat

[frank zealot]

esp on superlights, that plastic's gotta be hella thin

[topaz veldt]

you don't have to!

it just textures it, it doesn't go anywhere

[merry stirrup]

it is surprisingly not

like yeah its plastic its thin but its nothing crazy

the superlight is like gen1 light mouse, they have a lot you can remove and have still feel like a real mouse

[edgy laurel]

i don't think the plastic of a mouse would stand up to that

[merry stirrup]

not if you let the whole thing heat up

[edgy laurel]

what do you use to do it

[merry stirrup]

it would probably be okay for just doing the sides

[merry stirrup]

like an iron or similar

wood burning thing

[edgy laurel]

oh, ok that makes more sense. for some reason I was thinking a press

[merry stirrup]

nah nah you do it by hand on those ones

[topaz veldt]

its a soldering iron tip

[merry stirrup]

yeah

[edgy laurel]

ohh, man that would stink

[merry stirrup]

its gross and terrible

[edgy laurel]

and be a mess of stringy plastic

[merry stirrup]

an iron is how i trimmed my superlight

[topaz veldt]

I stipple gun grips it doesnt smell much

[edgy laurel]

yeah, probably not ABS or whatever mice are made of

[merry stirrup]

then a rotary tool+sand paper

[topaz veldt]

they are abs

[merry stirrup]

i need 10th or 11th gen k cpus if you guys spot them for cheap btw

I cleaned up the rails and applied fresh grease, and now I'm having it go through leveling and such. (Automated)

So far so good. Maybe this free 3d printer is going to work well

Nobody would expect that this lynx point is an absolute pain in the ass from his pictures.

Given there’s rumours AM5 could be going the rest of this decade as the main platform and how AMD are targeting gamers with X3D/improved cache; and that RAM doesn’t affect that massively. It could be that DDR6 isn’t adopted for quite a few years by AMD. I would expect Intel to cheap out given current and potentially future woes and wait also.

[wraith steeple]

[pure garnet]

thank you chatgpt

[wraith steeple]

And InWin case too

[green marsh]

DDR6 spec is still not finished

[livid flame]

Hopefully they refine it over the next say 3 years before release IF that AMD rumour is true

[merry stirrup]

mfs not realising that if a spec is ratified it doesnt mean it exists in use

[livid flame]

Could see a much more dramatic and major leap in RAM then. Christ DDR5 high MTS is already a big enough leap, can only imagine DDR6 in that case

[pure garnet]

nah bro pcie 7.0 is real

it's on my pc at home

[green marsh]

i mean spec is not even finished, real prducts are 3+ years away

[merry stirrup]

truuue intel gave me access to pcie6

[livid flame]

Hardware is always light years ahead of where we think it is tbh

[shell void]

pcie 6 is ready

[livid flame]

People just squirrel it away

[pure garnet]

yeah pcie people always have the like 14 specs ratified

[merry stirrup]

ram speed will literally never be fast enough

[pure garnet]

x3d not caring about ram is kinda misinfo anyway

[merry stirrup]

yes

[pure garnet]

0.1% lows can always be better

[merry stirrup]

it doesnt care about ram until you run out of ram then youre fucked

[livid flame]

I mean PCIe 5 can’t even be fully utilised at current for what we can do with it. Why bother releasing anything new that won’t be used for years to come

[merry stirrup]

🤯

[green marsh]

JEDEC DDR4 specification was in 2012; first desktop platform with it was 2011-3 in fall 2014; desktop Skylake was second with it in summer 2015.

[hoary hatch]

Real CPUs...

[merry stirrup]

neither could pcie4, or 3, or 2...

[green marsh]

so that is 2.5-3 years after the spec

[livid flame]

I wouldn’t say it doesn’t care. It just carries the gap between slower and faster RAM

[shell void]

io specs are not improved for normies that just play games and watch youtube

[livid flame]

Will never make up for it

[pure garnet]

RAM doesn’t affect that massively.

[shell void]

enterprise is ready for pcie 6 now

[pure garnet]

it still scales off ram

[livid flame]

I will rephrase - for gaming.

But yeah Michael is right, the server and AI sphere would shit their pants in excitement for it

[shell void]

hopefully zen 6 is the last architecture on am5

i’m ready for ddr6

[pure garnet]

i can't wait the even thicker ihs next socket

[merry stirrup]

maintain cooler compatibility

[pure garnet]

people with fm2+ coolers need to be able to use it still

[green marsh]

you want Ryzen 10000 series till 2028 ?

[livid flame]

IHS tbh can be as thing as dust really. It’s just because of cooler weight and pressure

[pure garnet]

i mean considering it doesn't launch till 26 yeah

[livid flame]

I know some people here have shaved the IHS down to the copper before

Looks sick af

[merry stirrup]

well and because of that it cant be super thin cause it actually has to spread the pressure

[livid flame]

Yeah I did say pressure and weight was the issue

[merry stirrup]

but amds issue was that they wanted people with am4 coolers to not have to buy a new cooler

not either of those two things

[livid flame]

In reality you have a strong enough material that’s thin as a wafer. It’s good to go.

Maybe one day we will see that

[merry stirrup]

idk fermi gpus were close

pretty thin ihs's

[pure garnet]

the noctua low noise adapters just cut the pwm signal right

[green marsh]

me with a cooler from 2008 i am afraid to put on anything 😄

[shell void]

sell me a lidless cpu with a warranty pls

[pure garnet]

at 40% fixed the p12 pros are still a terror on my ears

[merry stirrup]

just a resistor inline or something

to reduce the signal

it literally just makes the speed lower iirc lmao

[livid flame]

I have an old zalmon from 2009. I really wish I was skilled enough to adapt it and try it for AM5 or another one day

[pure garnet]

yeah i'll try that then

tomahawk won't let me do below 40% for whatever dumb reason

[livid flame]

Thermal grizzly do that now

[green marsh]

i have the mounting system for AM5/1700, but 1.9kg of cooler weight is giving me pause

[livid flame]

That’s beautiful

Do it.

I mean even if the IHS cracked. You should theoretically still be fine.

[green marsh]

it killed a old Z68 ITX board i just test mounted it on 😄

[livid flame]

Dayumnnn

AM5 is thick enough it could take it

[green marsh]

i also have a Prolimatech cooler which sadly won't ever support anything modern unless one creates a custom mounting kit for it

[shell void]

yeah but i want one from intel directly that doesn’t cost a million dollars

[serene sonnet]

@merry stirrup I will never know what was wrong with that $100 PC, because someone voided my deal by paying in advance

[merry stirrup]

sad

[frank zealot]

I didn't realize that benchy takes 2 hours to print lolol

[green marsh]

i am still considering buying some 3d printer, but more i read on it, the more issues pop up. Like some write you need to have a well ventilated room etc

plus print size is issue with A1 mini

[frank zealot]

with FDM printers ventilation is way less an issue

you need ventilation with resin tho

also, fume issues vary by filament you print with

ie: PLA is generally considered non-toxic, so as long as you're not doing it day in and out in a locked room, you're probably fine

[green marsh]

still. A1 mini is limited to only 180x180mm, higher sizes get expensive very fast, and then lowend brands are well, lowend

[merry stirrup]

https://videocardz.com/press-release/g-skill-reaches-new-extreme-speed-at-ddr5-6800-with-trident-z5

times were simple

[green marsh]

but i guess i will have splash out money for full sized A1 if i will go into 3D printing

180->256mm is huge difference, and 485 euros for A1 combo is ok-ish if i can actually get it for that. But not now, this and next month will be tight when it comes to money 😄

[slim solstice]

Help why did the stick look like one thick stick

[frank zealot]

What do you plan to print tho?

Also, I managed to get this printer for free

so if you try a bit, you might do similar with a halfway decent printer

[green marsh]

NAS 😄

[slim solstice]

Should I get the Epson eco tank?

[slim solstice]

You want to print a nas?

[green marsh]

https://modcase.com.au/products/nas like this

[slim solstice]

NICE

[slim solstice]

Should I get it?

[green marsh]

there is also this crazy thing, but unlikely to print this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h7FyS37KHms

[slim solstice]

Can print that in 2 shots using the bambu lab printer

I don't have any printer thi

[frank zealot]

mine can print that.
225x225x265

[frank zealot]

no, inkjet printers are bullshit for 99%+ of people

[slim solstice]

It's inktalk

Tank

[frank zealot]

it's still inkjet

[slim solstice]

Over the course of 4 years we have spent 40k rupees+ on cartridges

[frank zealot]

What are you printing that requires color ink

[frank zealot]

that's honestly not all that much

[slim solstice]

I can buy aftermarket ink bottles for this for half the price and i don't have to mdeel around with the paper and creasenit and whatnot

[slim solstice]

That's a brand new printer

Im sure I can spend 10k in 4 years using this shit cuz of it's quantity thing

[frank zealot]

what are you printing that requires color ink?

[slim solstice]

It's mostly school stuff and my dad's and mom's legal documents so

Yh

[frank zealot]

so you do NOT need color

[slim solstice]

We want something that does not require maintainence for a long time

[charred lava]

So get a laser

[slim solstice]

We do we need color printouts most of the tkme

[slim solstice]

Way out of our price point

[frank zealot]

https://tenor.com/view/doubt-press-x-la-noire-meme-x-button-gif-19259237

[charred lava]

Ink tank printers are far from low maintenance

[slim solstice]

Im serious

[slim solstice]

Yeah but I'm sold with this one

[frank zealot]

Then re-examine your printing needs because that sounds bullshit.

[slim solstice]

My dad is already sold we want something over kill

[frank zealot]

You sound like 90% of my customers from when I worked retail.

And that's not a compliment.

[slim solstice]

Anf fast

[charred lava]

It won't be fast either

[slim solstice]

Okay 👍🏿

[slim solstice]

It's 7secs per page

[frank zealot]

Ink printers are slow, full stop

[slim solstice]

I research before I reccoment to my father.

My dad bought the car i reccomended

[frank zealot]

well, you've clearly made up your mind, so you do you.

But I will never recommend inkets to anyone.

[slim solstice]

Well that's what we have the money for

We are not spending 50k rupees on a laserjet

[pure garnet]

the only reason i own an inkjet is because we got the literal cheapest printer in the store

[slim solstice]

A canon Pixma?

[frank zealot]

I also don't tell people to buy color lasers, they're stupid.

[charred lava]

Ink tank printers are slow, the print heads clog and dry up, and they usually don't handle a lot of print volume well the same way lasers do

[slim solstice]

I have the prixma e42700 since 2020 cuz now it's a slow peice of shit but it seemed fast then.

[frank zealot]

Unless someone has a money-making need for a color laser, or a good inkjet printer?

They're both stupid choices.

A moderate entry level laser printer is 110% the go-to for normal people.

[slim solstice]

The ecotank we are buying rn it's a massive upgrade so yeah

[slim solstice]

They have never clogged or dryed up once in 4 years

[charred lava]

Do you have an ink tank printer

I use a higher-end Epson printer regularly, and it absolutely does clog fairly often :P

[pure garnet]

some cheap epson

[charred lava]

Even with regular use

[slim solstice]

An ink jet rn we r getting an ink tank my grandpa had and it was working nice until we sold it after he died

[slim solstice]

I think it's bc ur not using sublimation ink

[pure garnet]

i feel like i’d trust the one that owns it more

[slim solstice]

Good call

[frank zealot]

I own a 110$ (~10k rupee) B&W laser printer.

Two aftermarket cartridges is 40-45$ (4k rupee or so), and prints over 5000 pages based on standard numbers.

I'm sticking with my B&W laser

and if I don't print for 3 months? the printer doesn't give a fuck

[teal orbit]

b&w laser printers are amazing

[charred lava]

Because I'm printing on paper. Are you printing on fabric?

[teal orbit]

bought an Epson ecotank and it may not have been worth it. It's just for color right now

nothing really matches the sharpness and darkness of laser

[slim solstice]

Sure

[bronze mango]

Best printers are the ones where I don't have to pay to print 😭

Only requirement I have

[teal orbit]

[turbid locust]

All depends on price

and if it’s actually available

[cloud vigil]

??? perf does not depend on price, but yeah, we'll see if it's good

[vestal granite]

5090 is better performance than 5070Ti

[cloud vigil]

source???

[pure garnet]

what part of this screenshot says 5070ti perf

12eus is gonna almost double performance?

[cloud vigil]

nowhere 😅 but doing the math, multiplying the B580 by ~4/3 (see the Xe core count) should land us slightly above the 5060Ti 16GB in terms of raw computing power

[pure garnet]

did you type the wrong number the first time then

I mean it doesn’t matter if it’s 5070Ti performance if it’s a bad value nobody will buy it lmao

back to your hole

[vestal granite]

we talk about borderlands so infrequently that we should probably not abbreviate it

[merry stirrup]

lol

i love TFT

[cloud vigil]

wait ok, I was measuring perf using 32-bit tflops, that seems to be a bad way of measuring it

[vestal granite]

teamfight tactics

[pure garnet]

you play league?

[merry stirrup]

no the display type

[cloud vigil]

hold on, recalculating

[vestal granite]

see theres the problem

[merry stirrup]

lol

[cloud vigil]

team fortress two mentioned 🔥

[merry stirrup]

titan fawl two

[cloud vigil]

tdeep frock tgalactic

[vestal granite]

i learned the TFT game abbreviation before the display abbreviation so i still think that "TFT display" means a display meant for playing games such as teamfight tactics

[pure garnet]

teamfight tactics goated

[cloud vigil]

tsilksong f t

[merry stirrup]

fortnite tactics

[pure garnet]

i got 7800 stable so i guess i start slamming cas latency with my nicer kit

[vestal granite]

i liked to play TFT for a month in like late 2019

now its too confusing too many things

[pure garnet]

i don't really play tft as much anymore

i have 2100h combined on it and league though

[vestal granite]

and a lot of it nowadays feels like youre either:

1. top 1% skill in the game
2. check websites for whats good and try to copy it
3. losing miserably

and im not top 1% skill in the game and i dont like checking websites to find out whats good

and i dont enjoy losing miserably

when it first released there werent any websites so it was just fun to try and find out whats best and eventually people figured it out on their own and then they changed the game up a bit and you restart the process and start having fun again

[cloud vigil]

yeah ok, the B770 should be roughly RX7700XT-like at 4K, worse on smaller monitors bc drivers

definitely better

[shell void]

i always forget about the 7700xt because nobody bought that card

[cloud vigil]

B770 should be able to compete with the TITAN RTX 🔥 🗣️

[pure garnet]

i still love the color of the titan rtx

[steel stream]

man going back to headphones after using my speakers for a long while is a fun experience

speakers clear

[cloud vigil]

I wonder how much titan RTXes cost on ebay

[shell void]

if there's a cheap one then dont mention it because ennui will want to buy it and we need to stop them from blowing more money on turding

[cloud vigil]

TWELVE HUNDRED DOLLARS????

[steel stream]

i think they've stopped the turding addiction

they got the 4000 ada sff and quit

[pure garnet]

do i buy a 3rd am5 board for the same cpu

[shell void]

kinda hard to glaze turding when they have a 75w 20gb ada gpu that blasts it

[cloud vigil]

genuinely: why are old flagship cards so expensive

[pure garnet]

oh boy

[shell void]

supsiciously cheap

[steel stream]

is a quad 2080 ti custom looped setup awesome? Yeah, but a 75w SFF gpu is also cool as fuck

[pure garnet]

i honestly got no clue what i'd buy if i got another board

wtf is even good (and ideally cheap)

[shell void]

z790 ayw oc from china

[merry stirrup]

2 dimm slots max

[pure garnet]

z790 sounds like a funny am5 chipset

[cloud vigil]

there are 3090Tis that are the same price on ebay as the titan rtx 😭

[merry stirrup]

titan RTX sadly slower

[pure garnet]

titan tax brother

[merry stirrup]

but the aura

[shell void]

theyre claiming no damage on that $325 x870e hero, it doesnt make any sense

[cloud vigil]

it is! believe it or not, you can stick an AM5 CPU in that socket. just keep trying. don't worry about the crunch noises. it'll work great bro

[pure garnet]

no box board only is what the listing read

so i assume it will be broken

[cloud vigil]

3090Ti is pretty auraful

[pure garnet]

https://www.ebay.com/itm/286779687668 i could get another gigglebyte

[merry stirrup]

-points for dual sided vram

[shell void]

3090ti is 1 side

[merry stirrup]

get an X board with your lean toward memory

[merry stirrup]

that is true my bad it had g6x+

[merry stirrup]

x as in pro x from aorus my bad

[shell void]

yeah dont let it happen again bub

[pure garnet]

wtf is a pro x

[merry stirrup]

gooder for memoc

only z790 4 dimm boards ive seen get 8k reliably are those

[steel stream]

i forgot to thaw my ground beef

[pure garnet]

i am not buying another intel board

[cloud vigil]

elite tier GPU knowledge required

[pure garnet]

my master does 8k that part is fine

[merry stirrup]

oh i see okie

[merry stirrup]

well yeah but id expect the other side to be okie too

although i say that when am4/lga 1200 was a mess

[pure garnet]

im just window shopping what exists for am5 if my tomahawk continues to protest sleep mode

[shell void]

idk whats up with that

sleep has never not worked on my tommy

[pure garnet]

well it was working good for awhile until i ripped it out of my case

now it's acting up again

[merry stirrup]

silly boy

i simply wish my computer to draw less power and it does

[topaz veldt]

unplug half of its power cords

[pure garnet]

poor girl's 265k got it's butt whooped in ffxiv earlier

[merry stirrup]

as x3d does

[pure garnet]

my 7800x3d+4070 got 30 more fps than my 265k+5070ti idling in the same town

[random flame]

[merry stirrup]

you aolso have probably the most bricked sample so far

that we've seen here anyways

[pure garnet]

yeah i got the mega mac bin

[steel stream]

just use the top half of the sine wave

[pure garnet]

30 d2d or unstable

https://www.ebay.com/itm/286809837632 doesn't this have nitropath? seems like a fair price

[merry stirrup]

but realistically youre at like basically the max is going to actually gain performance and is not for ego/epeen

[merry stirrup]

it does indeed

its a great priice

[shell void]

i will butthurt forever that i didnt grab the $350 taichi ocf

[topaz veldt]

no, the left half

[pure garnet]

i would still be complaining about the bios to this day if bought the ocf

my gigabyte one already has annoyed me

[merry stirrup]

the lip butan bin

[pure garnet]

i see that stupid eagle when i turn my pc on and feel shame

[steel stream]

yeah that'll work too

[shell void]

im still waiting on arrowlake refresh and 12p bartlett lake before deciding what cpu to buy next

[merry stirrup]

i see a dragon bro

[steel stream]

nvl duh

[merry stirrup]

a 6 year old would think that my computer is sick

[pure garnet]

i would rather see lucky the dragon's fine then the gigabyte eagle

i have a stupid green mag logo on my tomahawk

[merry stirrup]

i like the aorus bios the most out of recent bioses tho

[topaz veldt]

a 4th grader my son had over this weekend told me my PC is sick

[steel stream]

which pc

[merry stirrup]

msi?

[pure garnet]

if the voltages cleared when i loaded xmp it'd be fine

[topaz veldt]

my intel pc lol

to be fair it was on at the time he went into my office

[pure garnet]

but if i load my xmp profile i expect it to at least fix vdd and vddq

[steel stream]

kids got taste

[merry stirrup]

you don’t deserve that

[pure garnet]

yeah vt-d broken too

[merry stirrup]

don’t deserve that either

did you get the add on pack for working features?

it’s about 300$

[topaz veldt]

I told the kid the white PC doesn't even have hyper threading

[steel stream]

think it's a subscription

[merry stirrup]

lol

[steel stream]

They prob asked "What's that?" while picking their nose

[pure garnet]

surely the b850 mpower will come out soon

[merry stirrup]

LOL

copium in this one

[pure garnet]

we got 22 more days in q3

it's coming just you wait

[shell void]

real

[topaz veldt]

I didn't actually tell him that, but the kid knew his shit. He said how he watches youtubers build for fortnite and such

[merry stirrup]

one of them is an adapted pcie protocol

[pure garnet]

i would get a 2 dimmer but my options are apex or cheap micro atx that sucks from the look of it

[topaz veldt]

apex is the only choice

[steel stream]

great that kids are being introduced at such a young age nowadays tbh, you can get people who are super passionate learning early

[shell void]

gotta get apex so that you never blame the board

[merry stirrup]

or blame the revision

[topaz veldt]

People like the OCF but its heinous

[pure garnet]

if the apex doesn't sleep i think i'd give up on amd

[shell void]

ocf is a great board but yeah it's fugly

a lot of the arrowlake tryhards are using ocf

[pure garnet]

yeah i see a lot of ocf on the forum

i still wanna know how that guy hit 9000 on a 4 dimm though

[steel stream]

Nova is the best Z890 Board 🤓

[random flame]

Still funny considering they also were one of the partners for helping to develop that new interconnect standard for going between chips on the same substrate board in the socket.

[topaz veldt]

its because veeii or whatever went OCF

but apparently the BIOS is still kinda jankass

[pure garnet]

i mean it's asrock so that checks

[random flame]

So keeping old HTB in the form of Infinity Fabric at this point is just a weak excuse now.

[shell void]

my z690 taichi was stable as a rock

it just sucks ass for memory

[pure garnet]

yeah but did the bios look like it was from the 90s

[shell void]

nah it's not that bad

[topaz veldt]

its not really that the OCF isn't stable its that the BIOS is quirky

[shell void]

if anything asus is the most quirky with their 5 million settings that only 0.0001% of users touch

[pure garnet]

the only real world asrock bios experience i had was on a previous

prebuilt*

[oak vector]

[pure garnet]

it was quite bizzare to navigate through

[topaz veldt]

its not that hard
