[pure garnet]

i just have the wifi model

[turbid locust]

There’s no if, that’s from MSI USA

[steel stream]

i also have ethernet AppleTV tbh

[shell void]

it's a meaningless price difference when buying new

[steel stream]

what even for? Idk how ethernet on speakers works

[pure garnet]

i was gonna get ethernet if i didn’t get the ebay one for 80 bucks

130 vs 150 is nothing new

[shell void]

they’re “smart” speakers

DSP, input switching, and subwoofer line out control

oh and casting from other devices on the network

[teal orbit]

how much was this

[steel stream]

neat

[shell void]

230

i debated between trendnet, nicgiga, and tp-link for a while before saying frick it and getting the nicest one

tp-link has an 8-port one for not much more money, but it has an annoying fan

[steel stream]

I still have to update my Klipsch speakers, but they don't like the USB drives I have

[turbid locust]

I want some desk speakers but I’ve found that the C4’s built in speakers are surprisingly competent for when I don’t want to wear headphones

[shell void]

yeah i hate klipsch powered devices

the klipsch soundbars that i had would only accept usb 2.0 flashdrives 8GB or smaller

[steel stream]

yup

i have to buy a brand new flash drive now

[edgy laurel]

[steel stream]

yeah I wasn't even gonna touch that

[shell void]

i used the built ins for a few months and theyre okay for youtube

[turbid locust]

For context I use headphones 99% of the time

[shell void]

i mean theyre way better than anything youll get in a 27" monitor

[edgy laurel]

for sure

[turbid locust]

For sure. Skate 3 leaned back in my chair with a controller and a YouTube video on the side monitor? Perfectly fine for that

I would like some proper speakers though. But idk. Lotta money and effort for something I’d only use extremely occasionally

[edgy laurel]

maybe when you heard them, youd wanna use them more

[steel stream]

it's not crazy money, michael recomended a pretty decent pair to me for lik $300

[shell void]

could pick up a pair of adam audio d3v for $300 and if youre not wowed then bezos will take them back

theyre small and good for 50Hz - 20 KHz

[turbid locust]

Don’t care for how they look tbh

[steel stream]

yeah go for the adam audio d3v then

[turbid locust]

Don’t care for how they look tbh

[steel stream]

OHHHH

i get it now

[turbid locust]

[steel stream]

michael is the expert here so i can't give good recs lol

[fringe vigil]

she's so hot when she looks at you

[merry stirrup]

finally doing some modding in this game to make it a little more modern

[wise bear]

jsrs & mcm..?

arma mod plus fallout mod what

[merry stirrup]

stalker

[wise bear]

OH

[merry stirrup]

mcm is mod configuration menu and is in a lot of games

[wise bear]

Huh I thought it was just fallout

[merry stirrup]

jsrs is literally the arma 3 mod adapted over

[wise bear]

I love that

[turbid locust]

https://videocardz.com/newz/msi-sets-september-17-launch-for-b850-mpower-announces-mpower-d5-memory-alliance

[merry stirrup]

i saw bro im hyped

might buy that instead of am5 itx

[wise bear]

is that sub board a fucking oc card

[merry stirrup]

kinda

its a post code readout and has power/reset i think

doesnt get any clock buttons

[wise bear]

Huh, neat

[merry stirrup]

visual mods in most games look gross and i mainly feel the same way about that in stalker

it makes me sad cause visual mods are like the most made mods

[edgy laurel]

wonder if that makes much of a difference if you get those modules

[turbid locust]

Board does have eCLK tho

[turbid locust]

Oh for sure. Especially if it’s a similar price to what the China price is

[turbid locust]

It could for super high frequency stuff if the board knows what to do with the dimm terminations already

[pure garnet]

did they confirm us availability at all

or is this just a “hope it comes over” thing

[merry stirrup]

good

[turbid locust]

MSI USA tweeted about it so it’s all but confirmed

Like why would MSI USA tweet about it if it’s China only

[pure garnet]

this is msi tbf

[turbid locust]

$225 is what that price for China converts to

[merry stirrup]

300 us for sure

[pure garnet]

even if it’s $300 here that’s gonna be quite the pickup

[merry stirrup]

yeah

[turbid locust]

I said if it was sub 400 it’s a day one buy for me

[pure garnet]

rn it’s apex,itx, or crappy matx boards

[turbid locust]

Let’s hope it’s actually produced and not another Gene situation

[merry stirrup]

idk i cant buy too good of an am5 board then ill want to daily it

💀 (ill probably buy it)

[turbid locust]

you have to drag race z790 mpower vs B850 mpower

[edgy laurel]

tachyon, you mean

Gene you could buy.. just for a stupid amount

[turbid locust]

You can barely find Genes

Even used

[pure garnet]

i’m about ready to buy a mac mini at the rate i’m going

[turbid locust]

Need @topaz veldt to pick one up too and compare to Apex

[pure garnet]

apex gets more temping by the day

[turbid locust]

can’t relate at all

[shell void]

it pisses me off that Apex, Taichi OCF, and Unify only have one 5Gb ethernet port

[pure garnet]

i’m either getting gigabyte’d or arrow lake’d atm

[shell void]

a $600-700 motherboard should have 10Gb in 2025

[pure garnet]

my board failed to verify bios update and rebooted before work and now the cpu is unstable

[turbid locust]

Hmmmm

[pure garnet]

if qflash doesn’t fix it i’ll return it because that’s the logical solution to me

and then idk what to replace it with

[shell void]

if i was to buy a Z890 board right now i would probably pick the $580 hero

[pure garnet]

well if i return the board ill just return the cpu too

[shell void]

or maybe a E

poor man’s hero

[pure garnet]

the cost of z890 hero is roughly the cost of an x870e apex

but an apex for a 7800x3d is skull emoji

[shell void]

X870E Apex is just uninteresting to me because am5 cpus have pitiful memory bandwidth

i imagine there’ll be a X970E Apex next year

[pure garnet]

over/under on destroyed socket?

[shell void]

they probably didn’t test it at all

they probably just looked at a return and saw that the board wasn’t obviously fucked and then sent it over to be stocked as open box

[pure garnet]

i don’t think the apex is actually the board for me but idk what is

hoping the master just works later though

[devout ridge]

i say intact

[turbid locust]

Newegg? 47 bent pins

[pure garnet]

it’s probably gonna be an lga 1200 socket or something

[hoary hatch]

What a fucking waste

[shell void]

yeah somehow the Z890 Master which sold for $280 recently has 10Gb, but the only Asus boards with 10Gb are the Proart and Extreme as far as i know

Ace and Godlike for MSI

i dont know of any asrock boards with 10Gb

[wraith steeple]

Ace > Godlike

[turbid locust]

B850 Mpower >

[shell void]

mpower will be op if it's not $500 once it's stocked at newegg lul

[warm gate]

Guys quick question, should I save up 1200 and get an m2 pro MacBook Pro 16/1tb (coming from m1 air) or save up 2k and buy an M2 Max MacBook Pro 24/2tb

hmmmmm

[merry stirrup]

how much do you have rn

[warm gate]

Uhm 100 bucks, I work and earn 200 a month roughly

[shell void]

i wouldnt go from m1 to any m2 device personally

might as well save up for a M4 or M5 macbook

[warm gate]

m3 pro MacBooks are way out of my price range

[devout ridge]

is there anything your M1 air can’t do that you need it to?

[steel stream]

why do you need a macbook pro?

[warm gate]

comp science

8gb ram and 256gb of storage ain’t cutting it

[shell void]

saving up money for a whole year to go from an outdated device to a one generation newer but still outdated device doesnt seem like a fantastic idea to me

[wise bear]

^

[steel stream]

check your Uni's resources, might have remote machines you could use

[wise bear]

^^^

[warm gate]

well the thing is m2’pro/max are quite affordable now and at the same price range are way more powerful than m3’s

[shell void]

the funny usb c board has it

[steel stream]

dream I/O /s

[wraith steeple]

Z890 Taichi Aqua

[shell void]

the antennas being vertical annoys me

[wraith steeple]

I love how I remember that mobo's name based on that I/O alone

[devout ridge]

wait wtf, why did they do that

[steel stream]

solid egr remote machine

[shell void]

no idea

[devout ridge]

you’re supposed to put the antenna vertical, so it’ll get in the way

[warm gate]

oooooo

[steel stream]

why say oooo if you can only afford 1/16th at the moment

[shell void]

if you have to save up money for a long time then you might as well hold off on shopping now unless you find it fun to window shop

because the prices will be difference in 6+ months

[warm gate]

Im saving up just looking at my options

[warm gate]

window shopping is always fun

[shell void]

i do enjoy some window shopping

[warm gate]

I sometimes just pass by the Apple Store in my city and then just play with everything VERY WELL knowing I can’t afford anything

[shell void]

xd

[wraith steeple]

Basically ASRock's counterpart to Asus' Formula boards

[warm gate]

definitely able to afford this one

[shell void]

indubitably

the z790 formula was gorgeous

[wraith steeple]

Yep though the Z690 variant has some goofy mix metals going on

Since the Formulas have the optional VRM WCing ordeal

[shell void]

it had spectacular i/o

basically perfect i/o

the only thing i could critique is these usb 2.0 ports are useless and ps/2 would be more interesting

[devout ridge]

i was about to say “it would be perfect if that was 10g lan” then i realized it has it

[shell void]

indeed my good sir

[devout ridge]

I concur, it is perfect IO

[wraith steeple]

If I were to use that board, I would absolutely use the VRM ports for funny runs and RAM too, because reasons

[edgy laurel]

Needs less useless analog audio outputs, better Wifi connectors and more Type A with the extra space

[shell void]

it's a bit sad that boards almost all have usb based stereo audio outs nowadays

instead of multi channel alc1220

[fringe vigil]

yo

[shell void]

unfortunately the alc4080 coming on boards nowadays is not an upgrade, it's a downgrade actually

it's just higher latency and has no real benefit

[pallid marsh]

#Remove built in wifi for mobos

[shell void]

no

[gentle urchin]

At least it got all you need. TosLink output

[hoary hatch]

How could you

[pure garnet]

@shell void do you know if cpu vrms are all used at once

my gigabyte board has a reporting sensor that says i use 9 vrms when im at 240w

and idk if i’m actually only using 9 or if it’s just making up “about 9” worth of capacity

[pure grail]

pull out the thermal camera

[pure garnet]

[cobalt stone]

[merry stirrup]

🙏 lets hope

[pure garnet]

if only improved memory compatibility meant anything or improved my cpus bin

also fun fact i learned today: all of my debug leds are orange, they just move position slightly which is useless for someone with a tinted case

so i now need to memorize the intel post codes

[pure garnet]

i have an m1 pro macbook pro and an m1 air

i don't own a mac mini

finally I fixed my movies holy shit

[shell void]

i cant lie

U7 485KX + W980 + 2x32GB ECC might be your play next gen

[steel stream]

for some reason the files did not like that I dropped them into my movies share, so i had to drop them into another share then move them using the terminal

[shell void]

and then dont touch anything

[topaz veldt]

[shell void]

snail wont even buy a single 6090

[topaz veldt]

he will just use geforce now with a virtual 6080 on a mac mini

I will buy a 6090 to connect to GFN

i’ll buy your old 5090s off you for a snickers bar when you go to upgrade

[regal wigeon]

Is there a reason to buy and 3rd party thermal paste? Or should I use what comes with cooler

[devout ridge]

use what comes with the cooler

[wise bear]

buy 4th party paste

[pure garnet]

oh apparently it was something with the ftpm according to some rando on reddit

[young void]

As long as its still fresh and you can shape it what comes with the cooler suffices, or cheap mx4 is good if you'd like

[devout ridge]

i feel like we have had this exact conversation about paste with you

[wise bear]

i feel ze deja vu

[pure garnet]

is this what the cache chip is called suposedly

i have no idea how intel will brand their big cache chip

[pure garnet]

mlid style

[fathom patio]

anyone hear of a PSU that doesn't have the -12V rail leading to audio issues?

[devout ridge]

maybe they’ll call it x4d cause it’s better and 4 dimensions

[devout ridge]

no

[steel stream]

485KX4D

[wise bear]

this just sounds like a poor grounding issue in general.

[devout ridge]

-12v goes almost entirely unused

[wise bear]

-5vsb is all that's really still used in the atx spec nowadays

[pure garnet]

legally distinct large cache marketing

[devout ridge]

it’s either shit grounding, EMI, or both

[wise bear]

^

[devout ridge]

psu has absolutely nothing to do with audio

[steel stream]

i just don't recomend the front panel audio

[devout ridge]

front panel audio kinda sucks

too many points for interference

[wise bear]

well it can because it's the primary grounding point that goes to the wall but i digress It's v much not the issue here

[fathom patio]

this is showing that some of the corsair PSU's might have FP audio issues... right, I replaced a PSU in a system and the audio is the only thign that doesn't work

[devout ridge]

i’d recommend motherboard audio ports, or a USB DAC

[wise bear]

why would a psu have anything to do with front panel audio that makes zero sense

if it's affecting the front audio it'd be affecting the rear jack

[fathom patio]

the article says that FP looks for -12V ground to determine if anyting is plugged in

[pure garnet]

the front panel audio in my nr200p was unusably bad

[wise bear]

????????????

[fathom patio]

but there's apparently no audio out the back either

[devout ridge]

no…

[wise bear]

that is NOT how that works lmao it's a sense pin riding on less than 1v.

[fathom patio]

so does the CX750M have the -12V rail?

because I dont thinkt he RM750e does

[wise bear]

pls no cx series

[oak vector]

helo

it's not my PC, trust me I would probably just use some other DAC/AMP

[wraith steeple]

So far, TG wins over Optimus due to the successful launch alone (500 for day one is actually good given their size)

latter of which has been radio silent on the production process (other than the Astral prototype LTT showed off which took a ton of people by surprise)

Especially since Optimus only confirmed PNY (which I do question their decision)

[low sorrel]

Oh it's legally not cheese by your standards

there's nothing weird or fake about american cheese

idk why people call it plastic

It's a "processed cheese product"

it's cheddar, colby, cream, salt, and sodium citrate

it's still an all dairy product but mfs act like it's made with lab ingredients

YouFibre is a shitty challenger brand to the UK market. That’s 100% an employee and not a personal connection.

Also that is a dedicated fiber connection as opposed to PON. Think they connect it to a border router or smth

8.2 Gbps download. Not the full 10 gigabit but close

[languid nimbus]

I low-key realize that 2mb per second download isn't good compared to theese download speeds

[livid flame]

I’d imagine it’s more limited by the storage device than the threadripper processing it?

[whole coral]

Yeahhhh. Minimum internet plan here is 100/10 (or 100/100 if fiber)

[edgy laurel]

2Mb? Barely faster than a T1... are you still in 1999?

woulda been screaming 25 years ago

[livid flame]

In 1999 I was running 56k….

[edgy laurel]

(i think there is some confusion because nothing is that slow today)

Even if they meant 2MB, thats 16Mb/s

still very slow

[languid nimbus]

Mait I usually get 500kilobytes per second download speed be grateful

And it didn't change when we switched from optimum to T-Mobile

[languid nimbus]

Both were ass

[edgy laurel]

What delivery medium?

[whole coral]

Optimum is definitely improving. They are shifting their focus from DOCSIS to FTTP

[livid flame]

Sounds like a satellite WiFi

[whole coral]

T-Mobile is alright. Depends on where you are though

Cellular coverage will vary

[turbid locust]

This is what gearbox meant by minimum and recommended

[edgy laurel]

Hell I can do 1Gb/s down to my T-Mobile phone...

[languid nimbus]

Say what guys

[pure garnet]

is gearbox insane

[edgy laurel]

Ok, so you're connected via Wifi. Are you certain thats not screwing you? What delivery medium? What hardware onsite?

[whole coral]

Same. I’ve gotten 2 gig before but 500 Mbps to 1 gig is more easily achievable

[turbid locust]

They posted an optimization guide and the 4K section starts with a 3090Ti lol

and still only has 60fps targets

[languid nimbus]

That's the reason I DONT use the wifi at home its so slow

[pure garnet]

yeah they are then

[edgy laurel]

1Gb on midband. I haven't connected to high band yet

[edgy laurel]

I'm trying to help but i need answers

[whole coral]

Actually mid-band can do up to 2 gig

[languid nimbus]

I don't know ANY of that answeres

[whole coral]

Depends on several factors though

[edgy laurel]

You don't know if you have cable, fiber, or cellular based internet? And what sort of router/device is provided by the ISP?

[languid nimbus]

I don't know much about WIFI so I honestly don't

[whole coral]

^^^^

[edgy laurel]

This device/router, are there any hard wired PC's connected to it? As in, not using Wifi?

[languid nimbus]

I think my sister's laptop is but it's idle right now

[edgy laurel]

Wifi is the wireless link from your router/access point to the PC's/laptops/phones, not the internet service itself.

Its a misunderstanding people have today.

[languid nimbus]

Ohhh

[whole coral]

Yeah

[languid nimbus]

Well my router is in the living room, although it has like a plant and some dude told me they make connection worse (which it didn't I checked)

[edgy laurel]

Internet is deliverd to your residence by some sort of medium, be it fiber, coax cable or through a cellular 4g/5g connection. From there, you can be wired (Ethernet) or wireless (wifi)

to your various devices in your home

[whole coral]

Satellite too

But satellite is usually kinda garbage (unless it’s Starlink)

[edgy laurel]

I dunno what "a plant" means

[whole coral]

Also going back up here and yeah you could

The ISP would sue you though for redistributing their service

[edgy laurel]

My 16PM connected over WiFi 6E to my 1Gb/1Gb connected router is slower in download than 5G lol.

[whole coral]

Lmao that’s wild

[edgy laurel]

I don't have any other wifi devices that'll do 6Ghz to test if its just the wifi. Wired is as expected.

its whatever though, i don't have anything important/critical usin wifi anyway

[whole coral]

Best mobile game in my eyes:

[turbid locust]

It's the best entry in the franchise since BL2 imo

[edgy laurel]

this take i don't get. why would they not continue the series and give us more Borderlands?

[turbid locust]

Monkeys paw man. Great gameplay, Great story, much better writing....

UE5...

[livid flame]

BL1 great. 2 okay. 3 trash. Just let it die.

[brisk jolt]

honestly every 3A game releasing today just seems like a cash grab

[turbid locust]

BL2 was objectively better than BL1, but yeah.

[livid flame]

I remember it as being very much the same with some new fun elements. Not enough to really wow me but a decent sequel

[turbid locust]

It was better than 1 in almost every way lol

BL1 was great dont get me wrong

but BL2 was awesome

[livid flame]

Problem for sequels is to wow me you got to really reinvent it with the same spirit. For me they didn’t fully do that but tbh, I did play the hell out of BL2

So maybe I should say it was pretty good really

[turbid locust]

BL2 is probably my most played game of all time in terms of hours

Maybe GTA 5, but close fs

[livid flame]

Probably my second most played coop game now I look back at it

We just need more new IPs tbh. There’s been a few around the last decade but I just feel not nearly enough.

[brisk jolt]

My highest time played is like cyberpunk… A measly 60 hours

[turbid locust]

Agreed tbh

[livid flame]

I had a chat with a pal last week and we have said gaming in the last 10 to 15 years has really stagnated.

[turbid locust]

It has in the traditional sense

F2P/Live Service has taken over

[livid flame]

Yeah you got the odd one like the cyberpunk, the GTA5 etc but it’s just not like the early 00s. That was absolutely lit.

And multiplayer gaming is now just horrific. So many cash grab games people don’t play for long.

[brisk jolt]

i never played GTA5, but I watched an entire fkin walkthrough of the game 💀

[pallid marsh]

That's sad

[turbid locust]

I played a LOT of GTA Online

[brisk jolt]

Like, when I was hella young

[livid flame]

I’ve never played GTA5. And my pal bought me it like 7 years ago

[turbid locust]

I really hope GTA 6 lives up to the hype

[livid flame]

Genuinely I can’t even consider going back to WoW now. When classic come out I played a bit but lost time for it back then.

[brisk jolt]

holy crackers its been at least 10 years since GTAV released and I watched that walkthrouh… wasnt even double digit age when i did

[turbid locust]

One of the best in the last 15 years imo. You should give it a play.

[livid flame]

I’m going for GTA6 tbh

The missus loves GTA so it will be on the PC at some point

If I’m honest, I haven’t touched GTA since vice city.

[turbid locust]

ill likely be buying a PS5 for GTA 6 assuming it doesnt launch on PC right away

[livid flame]

I’m not really a story driven gamer. In my older age now I think I’d appreciate it more

GTA6 will be on PC probably just before PS6 release. Within 12 months

Like I wouldn’t buy a PS5 for GTA6. It’s EOL time for that console then.

I’m just interested to see if Rockstar free upgrade PS5 versions, small upgrade fee (which I expect) or go all out and have 2 versions

[turbid locust]

I mean if that's the option thats the option

I dont wanna shell out for a PS5 Pro for one game

And I want to play day 1

[fervent scaffold]

1. How long ago did you build your PC

2. Have you gotten over staring at it every time its in use

. These 2 questions are for everyone lol

[hoary hatch]

I actually use my computer instead of staring at it

[turbid locust]

1. my pc evolves over time and hasnt had a full rebuilt in forever

2. i never did this

[hoary hatch]

Okay that's a lie I almost never use my computer but when I do get around to using it I don't stare at the hardware

[fervent scaffold]

Bofa

[crude ruin]

1. I never built a computer, except for the two times I disassembled old PCs and reassembled them.

2. I actually use them

[fervent scaffold]

1. I said WHILE in use

2. I built mine 3 months ago but still cant get over how it looks

[hoary hatch]

Fuck bank of America

[fervent scaffold]

Its like, fairly basic I know, but I feel like its just enough

I love it

[turbid locust]

I have never built a pc with aesthetics in the forefront

My "looks" requirements end at the case

[fervent scaffold]

Aesthetics definitely wasn’t in the forefront, but was definitely a thought at least

[turbid locust]

I pick a case I like and thats it

whatever parts are compatibile with that case is what I buy

[brisk jolt]

same ngl

the case is everything

[fervent scaffold]

Thats essentially what I did after scoring all the hardware other than gpu. But then didn’t realize the case came with fans i thought it wouldn’t

So I switched the fans and found out about the vanguard 5070ti

[green marsh]

just realized Intel could do a funny thing. Right now they got 265K and 285K, right ?
In 5 more generations, they better introduce a model between these two. Cause then we could have a Intel Core Ultra 9 775K

[turbid locust]

Yeah it basically determines the rest of the build

[low sorrel]

@merry stirrup I wanted to help overclock my cousin's PC and he didn't have XMP on...

[turbid locust]

less of a problem than people make it out to be

EXPO/XMP is marginally better than JEDEC at best

[low sorrel]

I mean I got him to buy 6000mhz ram for his 7600

[regal wigeon]

Is montech a reputable company to buy PSUs from? I was looking at this one in particular https://a.co/d/bya4z1T

[low sorrel]

Look at the PSU tier list

[regal wigeon]

It has an A rating

[low sorrel]

Then it's good

[lusty gale]

I like my power supply’s begging for its life

[turbid locust]

same which is why I run a 1000w unit with a 14900k and 5090

[fervent scaffold]

I run 14th gen intel, I hear so much about 13th gen and up being garbage compared to AMD, but I still hear more people actually running intel than AMD

Idk what to think about that

I dont have any problem with either, brand loyalty is dumb

[wraith steeple]

Perhaps. Though not that me and my family's native Syria and Iraq is any better

[turbid locust]

if your opinion is influenced by what randoms online call trash or good then idk what to tell you

[fervent scaffold]

Im just surprised about it

[fervent scaffold]

As I just said, I dont have any problem with either, brand loyalty is dumb

Im just surprised about it

[turbid locust]

different products for different users

just depends on what you want

[green marsh]

it's brand loyalty, many people still have in their head that "Intel = best"

[brisk jolt]

my 1 of 1 (out of a million) macbin example failed, this company is trash

[green marsh]

or "ARM = superior power efficiency"

[fervent scaffold]

I just hear so much trash talked about intel, but still see so many people run it, im only running it because it made sense with the deals I got

[turbid locust]

Simultaniously there are people that act like non X3D chips cant game

[fervent scaffold]

As of recently I should add

[green marsh]

(btw neither of those statements is true)

[brisk jolt]

non X3D chips cant game and X3D chips cant do productivity ✨

[turbid locust]

Intel has been on a pretty shit run over the last few years and public opinion of them is low

[random flame]

And probably even still the ones with the "RISC-V = propriety design killer" too.

[lusty gale]

Does anyone have recommendations for a Bluetooth speaker? Budget is 50-60 bucks

[low sorrel]

X3d doesn't even matter 99% of the time because it's gpu limited

[brisk jolt]

amd is trash, you need to put the 9800x3d on eco mode and standard 4800MTs ram while the 14900KS is overclocked to 7ghz and has 8000 mts CL34

thats a fair fight

[random flame]

Quite ironic, ain't it?

[turbid locust]

being at a gpu limit doesnt always mean cpu doesnt matter, especially in modern games

[random flame]

And that's... A pretty trash toss up right there in general.

[fervent scaffold]

Ive built like 6 PCs in the last 3 months, and I just pick what makes sense in terms of budget for these guys

[turbid locust]

as anyone should do

Value is value

[brisk jolt]

logically the best option would be a 5090 but they are limited by budget so lets stick to that

[random flame]

That's essentially trying to kneecap the 9800X3D while trying to push the 14900KS over the limit and saying "it's a fair fight".

[fervent scaffold]

Most recently I did a 7800x3d with a 5070ti, but thats because he was insisting on a 9800x3d and I was trying to convince him it didnt make sense with his budget

[turbid locust]

7800x3d probably didnt either

but i digress

[fervent scaffold]

Again I said that too

But he REALLY wanted a higher end x3d chip for no reason

He plays rust only really

[brisk jolt]

my guy did a 7800x3d build with a fuckass 5070 and now he regrets cheaping out on hiw case for his “woodgrain” build because it looks like another typical pure black build

[turbid locust]

ok tbf rust does kinda scale with vcache well lol

[random flame]

Did he have anything before or was this a new pc being built/bought?
Just asking because... Well, I just stopped in here to see what the topic was.

[fervent scaffold]

He wanted to upgrade his previous PC, which was a 5700x and a 3060ti, I said go am5, 9600x and 9070 or 9070xt and leave his psu and case. He just said no and wanted to start fresh

I said go am5 with a 9070 for what he was asking, before i knew he only played rust

[turbid locust]

hot take but cpu is heavily overrated in terms of importance for a gaming pc lol

[fervent scaffold]

I agree, but he was insisting he needed cpu power

I didnt agree with what his excuses were for it

But he kept going on and kept insisting 9800x3d

I just barely convinced him to go down a tier to save some money with a micro center bundle on a 7800x3d and b850 board

[turbid locust]

I nuked TC1 from my channel list because of how many 9800X3D/4070ti type builds I kept seeing people post

[fervent scaffold]

I literally built it like 3 days ago too

[random flame]

Well if he wanted "fresh", he might as well go with either a 9700x and a 9070, or do a U225 with a 9070.

[fervent scaffold]

Gpu didnt come in yet

[turbid locust]

gpu should be 50% of your budget dont @ me

[fervent scaffold]

About where I sit with it too

[turbid locust]

everything should be built around gpu for a gaming rig

[random flame]

And with the kinds of games he's saying he's playing, if horsepower is his major concern, he either should go current Intel or wait till Zen 6 cpus drop next year or something.

[fervent scaffold]

I have a i5 14600k and a 5070ti and I think its a great balance

[random flame]

Mmmm yeah, that is a good balance actually.

[fervent scaffold]

I do not think a 7800x3d makes sense for what hes doing

[turbid locust]

14600k's are a crazy value rn if you want BF6

[random flame]

I don't think it makes sense for him either.

He could go with a non-X3D cpu and be virtually fine.

Even a non-K sku is fine pretty much.

[turbid locust]

the 5070Ti being the best value for the money gpu of this generation was not expected imo lol

[fervent scaffold]

I keep thinking I want to upgrade to a 14th gen I7 or I9 down the road, but only because of the 2-3 games I play that are SUPER cpu heavy. I definitely cannot justify it anytime soon

[pallid marsh]

Rtx 5050 is the real value

[fervent scaffold]

Ah yes

[random flame]

Oh Lord, here we go.

[turbid locust]

nah upgrading within the same gen is pretty much never worth it

[random flame]

And then the runner up is the 9070XT for cheaper.

[brisk jolt]

the gpu was 200% of my intended build budget

[fervent scaffold]

I very much agree, but I just like my setup too much lol. Its more if I find a really good deal on one

And not soon, Im more concerned about a monitor

[turbid locust]

I got my 14900k for $350 USD new awhile back. Bought it just to experience intel's OC quirks and whatnot.

[random flame]

Mine's kinda the one I expected to be okay for while it lasts... Until I got into cybersecurity classes, virtualization, and home lab nonsense. Now my cpu is unexpectedly up against it's limit whenever I'm not gaming and doing something virtually weird in terms of my usual.

[brisk jolt]

unless ur in the USA

[fervent scaffold]

I got my 14600k for $180? I think? It was a sale on amazon. And I only went intel because I got a MSI Z790 gaming wifi for $80. And it included 2 NVMe drives that im pretty certain they forgot were on the board

[turbid locust]

Yeah 14600k's are like 180 rn and they come with BF6

[random flame]

Well... Yeah. Outside, it largely depends. Most of the time, it's Nvidia who's easier to get, often times the only sensible option even when their expensive, due to AMD's lower availability in other places of the world.

[fervent scaffold]

Just wiped em both, sold one and used the other, they were both gen 4 sony nvmes

[low sorrel]

Nah >50%

[brisk jolt]

bro i am not remembering all these

[turbid locust]

starts getting a little difficult above that

[brisk jolt]

much less this

i think its ggs go next

[fervent scaffold]

Pentium + 5090

[random flame]

I will admit remembering the correct port numbers is a struggle, but it's when they consistently say the names of said protocols in abbreviations most of the time that gets confusing.

[brisk jolt]

i am not remembering all of these 27 answers bro

all of them have multiple points to remember

[fervent scaffold]

Hey @brisk jolt, remember your favorite build?

[brisk jolt]

and i have the memory of a fucking goldfish

[brisk jolt]

genuinely not interested in ts rn

[fervent scaffold]

This made me laugh pretty hard tbh

850w psu and 9060xt

[brisk jolt]

throw a can and go overrev and blow up an engine rn

[turbid locust]

lower tCL ram is a waste if not manually OC'ing

[fervent scaffold]

Hey, I was just mailed the parts and told to build

I tried to convince this man of things as well

People who dont know PCs all that well REALLY know what they NEED I tell ya

[turbid locust]

I blame techtubers

[fervent scaffold]

I can’t say I know that much either, but I really try to research before I make a decision or tell anyone else to make a decision

[random flame]

Same.

[fervent scaffold]

But, research means nothing nowadays

I guess anyways

[random flame]

To the impatient, paranoid, and/or stubborn really.

[fervent scaffold]

Tiktok said I need 9995x and 2 5090s

256gb ram

[fervent scaffold]

Edgemasters

[fervent scaffold]

I want the power button

Glue it to my mouse

[green marsh]

they sell power buttons like that on Amazon

some look like a single key

[fervent scaffold]

I have less than zero interest

[brisk jolt]

I have 1 and its pretty useful if ur pc is in some fuckass position

[green marsh]

seems like Minisforum is trying to get rid of MS-A1 remaining stock 😄

sure, it is without the CPU and RAM and storage, but 290 euros, tempting

[low sorrel]

Ain't no way this guy doesn't have amd adrenaline installed

[random flame]

Hmmmm...

[green marsh]

i mean it has no PCIe slot, that came with A2, but still

well, at least the EU store 😄

on positive side it has (the position says where is the M.2 slot, near the CPU or at the back):

M.2 2280 SSD *1 (PCIe 4.0x1) (bellow)
M.2 2280 SSD *1 (PCIe 3.0x4) (bellow)
M.2 2280 SSD *2 (PCIe 4.0x4) (above)

also has one OcuLink if you want that PCIe connectivity

[nova trout]

My favorite memory with edge is when I disable all the trash features they bloat it with

[brisk jolt]

why is this guy still in tc2

dude im not remembering ts

[crude ruin]

32 MB RAM, Intel Pentium 100 MHz...

[livid flame]

This is peak 1996

Even the speakers are top notch store bought system

[crude ruin]

Earlier, it came with MS-DOS/Windows 3.1 and only 16 MB RAM

[crude ruin]

And I have two other store bought systems, one with the Intel Pentium 4 Willamette and one with the AMD Athlon II X4 640

[wraith steeple]

Our family PC from 94 had W3.11/DOS 6.22 on a 486DX2-66

[crude ruin]

Ooo

[wraith steeple]

by the time it got passed to me it got upgraded to Windows 95 and god knows what since it got upgraded a lot over the years

[crude ruin]

lol, my dad only upgraded this one twice, once he doubled the ram, once he installed win 95 on it, since then it has been untouched, for 25 years, this pc is older than me, more than twice as old as it is 30+ years old

[scarlet iron]

Pal still goes to kindergarten

[frank cypress]

damn my chair is older than this fella

[civic reef]

I assume 27±0.5 refers to the width of the radiator? - Pretty silly question I understand but I want to be completely sure; Don't want to buy an AIO just for it to not fit

[unreal trout]

i just switched to amd to nvdia.. 3050 8 gigs... i know not that good.. i don't know what is what about nvdia.. everything is in defauld.. should i change anyhing in the settings?

[nova trout]

Would you spend 150$ more for 16gb vram

[unreal trout]

[nova trout]

By would you the implication is having it lol

[nova trout]

Oh

Well then

[unreal trout]

yeah

[wraith steeple]

I'm not too far off in age from this computer

[unreal trout]

GIGABYTE Radeon RX 9060 XT 16 gigs costs 550$ here

[livid flame]

Dimensions in mm with a variance of x mm either + or - the stated value.

[brisk jolt]

Which country to b exact?

[civic reef]

Yeah I get that, but I was making sure that it's the WIDTH of it

[lone scarab]

lemme guess,you'r 14 years old?

[lone scarab]

[slim solstice]

Both my cameras are older than me

[slim solstice]

Moans in asthetic and 90's goodness

[livid flame]

Well it’s not the length or the depth.

[lone scarab]

'budget builds' are getting absurd 😄 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSctSE8kuvI

[lone scarab]

why the fuck gluten?

[fringe vigil]

[crude ruin]

[frank cypress]

[lone scarab]

[frank cypress]

[lone scarab]

[lone scarab]

[nova trout]

Ergo from autonomous ?

It’s bad

Scam

[trail estuary]

Does it really matter what DP cable I get for a 1440p 180hz monitor?

[edgy laurel]

No, not really. I think you'd have to go out of your way to find something not suitable

most cables that aren't trash will do at least HBR3

[oak vector]

I must say
I am enjoying these edifier MR4s ^-^

[topaz veldt]

huh annoying - my son is playing rocket league and i can' tplay wukong at the same time

[brisk jolt]

just use the cable that came with ur monitor-otherwise unless its a really shit spec, it will work

[topaz veldt]

dafuq

[brisk jolt]

deheq

[edgy laurel]

isn't that pretty much expected?

[muted spire]

even more annoying, steam lets you launch 2 games on the same system, but if its a seperate system even in the same room it does pictured

[topaz veldt]

nah im supposed to be doing family share

[fringe vigil]

mr Barrington how you do good sir

[topaz veldt]

ohhhhh... i know why its doing this

[edgy laurel]

so he has his own account?

[topaz veldt]

yes but no

[edgy laurel]

that you're sharing to

[topaz veldt]

thats the issue - rocket league

[muted spire]

family link borrows the steam library
