"Hey our games don't review poorly enough lets make terrible political violence references"

[fringe vigil]

bish at the cash register was like that’ll be 93$ I almost fainted

[low sorrel]

You guys spend money on clothes?

[merry stirrup]

10$ every once and a while at the thrift

need money for computer

[fringe vigil]

yh

[frank cypress]

jorj i thought you're dripped out in Gucci and shi

[slim pebble]

I mean, those of us who aren’t dressed by our mothers buy clothes

[fringe vigil]

Gucci eww

[topaz veldt]

$93? What'd you buy, socks?

[fringe vigil]

designer is so yuck

[merry stirrup]

i just sit naked in my room and oc idk about you guys

[fringe vigil]

Bomber jackets jeans shirts

[low sorrel]

I've been wearing the same clothes for like 3 years

[pure garnet]

the more z790 boards the better

[frank cypress]

same but outside

[merry stirrup]

this guys on to something

[frank cypress]

yooo epyc 7401p for 20 bucks

its ewaste but it would look funny on the shelf

[merry stirrup]

honestly i think thats a worth price against all odds

[granite dirge]

this upset me when looking for my lunch https://www.doordash.com/convenience/store/34869312?pickup=false

[low sorrel]

24 cores

[merry stirrup]

haswell single core at haswell pricing

[frank cypress]

if its still available next week ill go pick it up

[granite dirge]

becaue yes we need gamestop on doordash...

[livid flame]

Fair enough. Proper scummy that.

[low sorrel]

That's actually not terrible for 20 bucks

[merry stirrup]

thats what im saying

i paid that much for my pair of 2690v4's

[pure garnet]

what are these fees

[fringe vigil]

Has anyone here even got the switch 2

[pure garnet]

yeah i have one

[green marsh]

i am a cheap one, i buy 6-8 euro shirts 😄

[fringe vigil]

What you play on it

[frank cypress]

literally so i can put it on my shelf

[low sorrel]

Motherboards probably is the catch

[frank cypress]

I need more cpu boxes

[fringe vigil]

No same, but these jackets cost a lot

[livid flame]

Tbfh Charlie Kirk was very popular among us Brits. Most of us don’t hold his are beliefs. We do appreciate his debating skill and conviction. Made him a likeable chap over here. Unless you are trans

[fringe vigil]

I don’t have any of them so thought let’s get something different

[topaz veldt]

The good news is I already finished Indiana Jones Great Circle and don't intend to play any of their other games, so Bethesday is officially not on my PC(s)

[pure garnet]

mario kart mostly, was playing silksong before i moved to steam, pokemon za next month

[merry stirrup]

well duh but idk if you can find one for 120$ is it that bad

[frank cypress]

no sp3 boards are fucked

[topaz veldt]

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, 1000%, except when it glorifies violence

[frank cypress]

theyre so expensive

[brisk jolt]

i havent even gotten out of the musuem xd

[merry stirrup]

that is an arbitrary number i promise i know theyre a baazllion dollars

[topaz veldt]

I'll save you the headache - they're asshole devs uninstall

[frank cypress]

their cpus are cheap af but the boards are absolutely fucking boned

[merry stirrup]

but like theoretically if you can get an equally good deal on a board its an ok price

[brisk jolt]

I didnt install it ever since I reinstalled the OS

[topaz veldt]

boom a silent victory

[frank cypress]

lowest i saw while checking for a year was like, 300 cad

[merry stirrup]

thats a good price honestly

[frank cypress]

when i still had the 7b12 from rogue

[green marsh]

too bad about the power consumption of these, as they will be in same ballpark as my 2950x

[brisk jolt]

So, the game isnt worth playing xd

[low sorrel]

Where's the 5950x box

[livid flame]

Has TMZ died yet? I’d have thought they’d be getting the most shit out of everyone lately, didn’t expect Bethesda to do something like that

[topaz veldt]

I can't tell - the content the devs put out is too ugly

[fringe vigil]

Why 5060 ti lol

[green marsh]

i got one of those boxes... the i5-8400 one 😄

(powers mom's PC)

[brisk jolt]

From a 3 ending visual novel to a goddamn 500k 10 ending RPG

[livid flame]

Sounds like a scam

10 different endings when they could have spent that time giving a few hours of better gameplay

[brisk jolt]

its a story driven game xd

i wouldnt expect gameplay to be anything special

[topaz veldt]

Not the attention they want... or maybe they do

[young void]

What'd they do snails?

[merry stirrup]

expldoed

[young void]

[edgy laurel]

Extremely worth playing if you like IJ.

[brisk jolt]

Sorry, I dont follow- Whats IJ?

OH W8

[topaz veldt]

you just have to be willing to fund their hate speech

[brisk jolt]

💀

[edgy laurel]

what

[topaz veldt]

a producer from Bethesda went on anti Charlie Kirk rant on Bluesky and then posted shit to their media account

[edgy laurel]

Well, alright. But that changes nothing about the game developed by MachineGames.

[wraith steeple]

[white gate]

yoo can someone help me im trying to help a friend that uses linux

[shell void]

maybe i should play the great circle

[white gate]

his pc randomly shuts down and pc fans still spin

[brisk jolt]

whys the circle great tho

[shell void]

good game supposedly

well i’m not paying full price for it

i still haven’t finished doom the dark ages

[merry stirrup]

paying full price for video games has got to be a scam

[shell void]

i am not going to pay $70 for a single player game bro i’m just not

[topaz veldt]

Its just a shame its produced with Bethesda and we have to support their bullshit by buying it

[shell void]

unless it’s like the coolest shit i’ve seen in years

[wraith steeple]

All I'm going to say is I'm going to stay in my lane in terms of what I know

[pure garnet]

i got fleeced the 70 for pokemon but that’s it in recent memory

[topaz veldt]

Alls I know is, I am not going to advocate for bad stuff publicly especially not on a corp media account

[wraith steeple]

Yes

[shell void]

which pocket monsters game was that?

[pure garnet]

newest one

legends za for the leapfrog hd

[shell void]

idek

my pokemon knowledge only goes up to x/y

[shell void]

i’ve never seen that somehow

[strange ginkgo]

first gen was best

[shell void]

i like a lot of the pokemon games

[pure garnet]

i normally don't preorder games but it showing up at my door at 4pm on a thursday doesn't bother me

[edgy laurel]

I'm familiar with Pokemon up to red/blue (green?)

[shell void]

gen 1 yellow is good, black is good, x is good

pokemon brick bronze on roblox was incredible, RIP

[brisk jolt]

thats like a decade old, my first and last pokemon game I was rly into xd

[topaz veldt]

Here's a weird one @wraith steeple I placed a $200+ order of random shit from TitanRig on their site... and it shipped with a TBA (amazon) tracking number..;

[edgy laurel]

wait, maybe Yellow

[merry stirrup]

guilty i hate to inform you

but thats literally gen1 of pokemon, youre familiar with the first generation only

[edgy laurel]

I know

[merry stirrup]

lol

i used to speedrun pokemon yellow

[topaz veldt]

Well hear this: I am not familiar with Pokemon with any color so.... what's that make me?

[brisk jolt]

I remember doin wild shit like hidden power ground volcarona just to fuck over heatrans unless they were running air balloon

[strange ginkgo]

the legendary bird trio just had style

[edgy laurel]

but who can say they battled/traded pokemon with their friends on their gameboy colors using the link cable

[wraith steeple]

It has done that to me on a couple occasions. Not sure what TR has going on there

[topaz veldt]

Do you remember trying to play multiplayer TI-83 games w/ the cable?

[merry stirrup]

thats fair i never did that

[brisk jolt]

https://tenor.com/view/hello-weston-gif-24957771

[topaz veldt]

Yeah its weird - and its not from Amazon, its from their address... so odd

[strange ginkgo]

a friend had a link cable and we used it

[edgy laurel]

I remember that cable and putting games on Ti-83's but multiplayer i have no memory of

[topaz veldt]

I think there was a way to link two together

https://www.cemetech.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=10956

[edgy laurel]

I bet there was

[brisk jolt]

disasterclass

[strange ginkgo]

I'll get a modern gameboy color with oled screen,lithium battery and usb-c charging and play the games again

[arctic bronze]

400 bucks for a motherboard makes me cry

[brisk jolt]

not in freedom dollars sir

[wraith steeple]

Welcome to iTX tax

[edgy laurel]

this sounds like a really in depth game for a calculator lol

[brisk jolt]

Its not even exactly ITX tax- dude has no idea at all, and he wants a O11 Mini V2

[merry stirrup]

let it happen

[young void]

I myte have some perfect stated shines from eon timing

[topaz veldt]

kind of insane

[young void]

[topaz veldt]

B860I for $387 can't be USD right

[brisk jolt]

as stated, not freedom dollars

[wraith steeple]

looks closer

[brisk jolt]

$258 USD equivalent

[wraith steeple]

Wait a minute

[brisk jolt]

Ok ill wait a minute

[wraith steeple]

B860 with 7800X3D

[brisk jolt]

Take that minute

[wraith steeple]

[pure garnet]

you know if they can make it work

[merry stirrup]

thats why i said let it happen

just to see

i want to see am5 socketed into lga 1851

[brisk jolt]

floppa must have immediate advanced reading ability

[merry stirrup]

i thought that was a thing everyone had

you cant look at a word without reading it

its just pattern recognition autism

[brisk jolt]

idk some people out in the real world seemingly lack basic reading ability in the first place

[merry stirrup]

thats fair

[topaz veldt]

hits a little harder these days

in other news - the like $250-$300 ITX boards all kind of suck

[merry stirrup]

mine has been fine btu its not lga 1851 so probably not really the topic of convo here

[topaz veldt]

I mean currenty gens

[merry stirrup]

british thermal unit

[topaz veldt]

like all the boards have such shit VRM config

(not that it totally matters but)

[merry stirrup]

my edge has 10phases and the only ever time it got over 80c was when i didnt peel off the plastic over the fan

[edgy laurel]

@shell void

[orchid shale]

so what cpu to go with with a rtx 5070 ti? 1440p ultrawide ?

[topaz veldt]

The "cheap" ITX boards make sense if running 7800X3D/9800X3D

[brisk jolt]

9800x3d

[merry stirrup]

i think they make sense if your computer is small, most people have no care for vrm or memory oc

[pure garnet]

isn't 10 phases plenty for 253w

[young void]

UwU

[merry stirrup]

do you seriously think someone who dailys their cpu delidded runs default limits

[pure garnet]

with pl2 240w on my 265k im using a whole 9 vrms according to the ec

[topaz veldt]

I am sure OE boards have like 4 phases and 265Ks, but

[merry stirrup]

or realistically any limits at all

im talking during real benchmarks at like almost 400w

[pure garnet]

i didnt think we were talking about delidded cpus in an itx chasis

[merry stirrup]

i mean im just talking about my edge and my exp with it

[orchid shale]

I was thinkin 5600x

[merry stirrup]

if my edge is fine with a delidded 13900KS i think most other itx boards dont have anything to worry about vmr wise

[merry stirrup]

this is not a good idea

if you dont have am5 already dont buy a 5070ti and buy am5

[topaz veldt]

5600X and a 5070 Ti seems like a weird build

[orchid shale]

but for 1440p ultrwide?

[brisk jolt]

Optimal

[topaz veldt]

crazy rad choice

[edgy laurel]

that chip is going to hold you back more often than you want

[brisk jolt]

I had a guy who used a 5600x and 5070Ti- He couldnt realize the full potential of the 70Ti with the 5600X.

[young void]

Hrmmm chunkky

[topaz veldt]

Crazy, crazy rads

[orchid shale]

maybe 9700x?

[edgy laurel]

I see the words but not feeling the "theme" at all

also is that my HAF X

wtf are those rads

[young void]

Its certaintly diffrent, uniquess

[topaz veldt]

yeah its a stretch i think - but dude is into it

[edgy laurel]

that looks like my HAF X

it is

[topaz veldt]

its a HAF X yes

[shell void]

[edgy laurel]

weird one, for sure

[topaz veldt]

holy shit he went like 10/10ths on it

[shell void]

my 13pm is staying on 18 forever

i’ll get 26 when i get a 17pm

[edgy laurel]

oops

[brisk jolt]

7500f/7600/7600x minimum recommendations
7700x/7800x3d/9700x/9800x3d would be the general recommendation (For AMD)

[edgy laurel]

the color seems off

[topaz veldt]

prob a white balance issue

[granite dirge]

this is why i put french frys on pizza no bad times to be had

[topaz veldt]

https://tenor.com/view/really-seriously-not-really-not-sure-kinda-gif-16451903

[frank zealot]

French Fries go in gyros/yeeros

[edgy laurel]

❤️

[orchid shale]

alright thanks! I think the 9700x or 7800X3D

[granite dirge]

i know red, blue, green, yellow, silver gold crystal, stadium 1-2 , snap, puzzle academy, hey you pikachu, tcg gbc, pokemon pinball, ruby saphire fire red leaf green, and then i stopped

4K60 Ultra on a 3070Ti seems lit

[topaz veldt]

no?

[shell void]

cool beans the 5090 will do 4k240 then

[merry stirrup]

how to make my 5070ti fastr

[edgy laurel]

i think its Alicia Silverstone

[topaz veldt]

it is - she makes great PC cases

[shell void]

well idk those recommendations are weird

[edgy laurel]

lol

[shell void]

3070Ti and 6900XT are not equivalent

ios autocorrect failed me

[topaz veldt]

why did i invite a dude to a meeting when i have to use the bathroom so bad

[low sorrel]

why is gods name is the arch linux forum blocked at my school

let me troubleshoot my laptop

[merry stirrup]

“reason: games” or some bullshit

[merry stirrup]

setup a vpn box at home and constantly have your devices connected to it

[brisk jolt]

i do, those were epic and I miss those times

But life’s not all sunshine and rainbows with no care in the world

[topaz veldt]

lets be honest its mostly shitposts

[merry stirrup]

most schools won’t block you from hitting your normal residential IP

and thru that you get around most blocking in place

[low sorrel]

true but

[merry stirrup]

without having to use mobile data or something

[pure garnet]

rt maybe?

[low sorrel]

im impressed they even know about it

[merry stirrup]

it’s an auto list from fortinet

[fringe vigil]

[topaz veldt]

You're impressed university IT knows about arch linux?

[low sorrel]

not uni

[topaz veldt]

OK I dunno but yeah its a reputation block from a list

[low sorrel]

ok but why can i download steam

[merry stirrup]

i’m pretty confident in it being fortinet but i’m wrong sometimes

[wise bear]

forty nets

[topaz veldt]

maybe its not a list, and someone actually hates arch linux forums... which I totally support

[merry stirrup]

LOL

[granite dirge]

i really hope the cables that you guys helped me pick, work for what i need it to do, when amazon finally delivers them

[shell void]

idek what cables u bought

[merry stirrup]

hopefully cable matters or startech or infinite cables or

one of many competent cable makers

[wise bear]

startech my beloved

[merry stirrup]

startech is insanely expensive for their adaptors and i KNOW they make an insane margin tho

[wise bear]

YEA they do

[merry stirrup]

but yeah at work i order startech stuff or whatever'

[wise bear]

but their weird shit is so useful when you need it

[shell void]

i recommend Club3D for HDMI & Displayport, and Monoprice UTP 24AWG Cat 6 for Ethernet

[granite dirge]

petyon recomeneded a 32foot usb cable,

[wise bear]

uhhhhhhh

[granite dirge]

and then i ordered a 4 port usb hub,

[wise bear]

UHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[granite dirge]

and 2 usb c and a usb micro usb cable,

[merry stirrup]

so peyt if it doesnt work its on u right

[shell void]

absolutely

[granite dirge]

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B087LSFS6R?ref_=pe_152525190_1217868310_t_fed_asin_title&th=1

this was the cable she reccomended,

[wise bear]

thats what i sent you

[merry stirrup]

its going to BLOW UP

[wise bear]

nuh UH

[merry stirrup]

looks fine

[young void]

[merry stirrup]

looks like any other cable lets go

[shell void]

ITS SO OVERRRRR

[young void]

XD

[pure garnet]

every cable is 50/50 it either works or doesn't

[granite dirge]

im literally just tryingt o not use the usb power puck form ikea, so i can charge my keyboard and headset

[merry stirrup]

binning amazon monoprice cables

[wise bear]

tangential but my house was 50f this morning and it was SO LOVELY

[topaz veldt]

some day something you are working on might actually be near blowing up but no one will believe you lol

[merry stirrup]

LOL

[granite dirge]

then, im trying to use the hub to connect, my xbox controller to pc, since, the bluetooth dongle, is tempermental

[low sorrel]

did someone say i use arch btw to the it admin

[merry stirrup]

i hopes o

[granite dirge]

this is the hub i got https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07L32B9C2?ref_=pe_152525190_1217868310_t_fed_asin_title&th=1

[pure garnet]

the solution to any arch linux problem is to use a different distro

[merry stirrup]

is this going to make my work computer explode

[low sorrel]

I have never used another distro other then arch

I guess pi os

Can I get an opinion on the Samsung odyssey G50D 32” monitor? Was it worth the 120$ I paid?

[merry stirrup]

i dont understand you people

[young void]

If youre happy with it sure

[merry stirrup]

that but also

[low sorrel]

why ask after you bought it

[merry stirrup]

dont ask for your opinions after you spend the time effort and money to get it

[pure garnet]

32 inch 1440 sounds rough but if it doesn't make your eyes hurt then it's fine

[shell void]

were you not already on 24h2

[merry stirrup]

it doesnt make any fuckin sense yo

[shell void]

25h2 is coming out now yo you’re behind

[vestal granite]

they want to feel better about impulse purchase usualy

[shell void]

UPDOOOOT

[pure garnet]

what's your opinion on the 265k i purchased for $259 usd

[merry stirrup]

"oh i bought this shit ass monitor how is it guys" 😭

[low sorrel]

fun fact my bank is offering free airpods after i bought airpods

[coarse elm]

Sumn like that

[merry stirrup]

noi dont think these update automatically

[pure garnet]

i can't twin im on ltsc again

[vestal granite]

well now you have 4 airpods

[shell void]

ITS SOOOOO OVER

[low sorrel]

they are offering airpods 4

[shell void]

(it’s just a couple of new features that nobody cares about that get exposed after a reboot)

[merry stirrup]

https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/samsung/odyssey-g5-g50d-s27dg50

[coarse elm]

Thank you goat

[vestal granite]

i dont know what that means

[merry stirrup]

you get a 7.1 apparently

worse cause you have the 32inch version

[low sorrel]

they are giving the airpods 4

[vestal granite]

sounds like a andy warhol title

[merry stirrup]

6.5 id say

[vestal granite]

burger; 4

[vestal granite]

the airpods are 4 what

[merry stirrup]

4 listening

[low sorrel]

putting in your ears

[pure garnet]

why is intel allegeric to posting voltage ranges

[coarse elm]

I got it for a 120$ so I think I’m pretty glad with it. I didn’t pay the normal price of like 400$ lmfao

[merry stirrup]

because their voltage ranges are:yes

[vestal granite]

i dont want stuff in my ears

[coarse elm]

Wronf reply sorry

[merry stirrup]

rpl was "validated" for like 1.72 spec

[pure garnet]

what the heck is a +50

[merry stirrup]

+50mv

[low sorrel]

50V trust

[merry stirrup]

so from .77 to .82

[pure garnet]

then why is reddit setting it to 1v

[low sorrel]

because reddit

[merry stirrup]

because reddit has the iq of a third of the dumbest white name talking in the server at any given time

[low sorrel]

hey i use reddit

[merry stirrup]

did i stutter

(ur fine)

[merry stirrup]

and 50mv below would be .72

[vestal granite]

i use reddit for like real life stuff u know like when real life stuff is happening like local businesses and events

[shell void]

set it to 1.5v and see what happens for science

[pure garnet]

and then there's my chip that can't seem to handle 32 at stock

[pure garnet]

paypal me the money for a replacement chip and i got you

[merry stirrup]

i wouldnt go higher than .9 i think

for daily

[shell void]

i’d just run 1.0 who cares

arrowlake is gonna be ewaste in 2 years anyway

[merry stirrup]

this is real but some people expect their cpus to work more than a year for some reason

[low sorrel]

noted never buy a cpu from michael

[pure garnet]

imma be real im probs just gonna leave it at auto and eat the clock L because im tired of staring at stress tests when im not doing homework

[shell void]

hey now

i was actually conservative with my 14900K

[merry stirrup]

we all hate our computers just enough to care

[topaz veldt]

Vnnaon at 1v is fine

[pure garnet]

i have michael owned hardware installed in my personal computer

[merry stirrup]

im not at all conservative with my 13900ks and it still hasnt degraded 5 mv

[shell void]

i ran 0.8 VCCSA and VCORE peaked at 1.38 :p

[merry stirrup]

still does the same ol settings it has for daily w/no issue

[shell void]

has it been okay

[merry stirrup]

tldr dont leave your cpu at 1.5v for months at a time and it might not explode

[pure garnet]

yeah

the 12v connector is kinda tight but it gives me no issues

[shell void]

that thing was practically mint

[low sorrel]

my 5800x has degraded a bit

[pure garnet]

im still on 576.80 driver wise

[merry stirrup]

ryzen

[merry stirrup]

am4 will degrade under any scalar in a few months so this isnt really crazy

[pure garnet]

pretty sure pbo sent like 1.5v into my 3700x so

[merry stirrup]

yeah

[shell void]

doesn’t surprise me at all because amd is stupid with voltages on higher clocked chips

[pure garnet]

it 100% degrades it

[shell void]

i’ve seen dudes with stock 5800x and 5950x that go above 1.5vcore

[merry stirrup]

how am4 doesnt have a higher failure rate is beyond me

[low sorrel]

i mean i have negative pbo

[merry stirrup]

do you have scalar on ?

not unless you ran like 1.25 or 1.35 soc for months

[low sorrel]

it's around 1.25

[merry stirrup]

scalar just cooks the cpus

[shell void]

is that an am4 exclusive thing?

[merry stirrup]

yeesh brother

[low sorrel]

im pretty sure you helped me set up pbo

[shell void]

scalar does almost nothing on am5

[pure garnet]

idk what scalar is but my 7800x3d can't go above 1.1v anyway

[merry stirrup]

we're not sure, id hope so but amd is actually stupid

[merry stirrup]

scalar ignores silicon limits and just puts voltage if the chip is within temp/pl

[shell void]

it probably depends on the stock max voltage is

[merry stirrup]

it tries literally everything it can to hit fused freq limit under any given workload

[low sorrel]

is that why my temp is high

[shell void]

i’ve never managed to get my 9800x3d above 1.28vcore with pbo

because it’s only targeting 5400 not 5700-5900

[merry stirrup]

and because its a 5800x

yeah

[pure garnet]

watch this blow up my pc

meanwhile a 5700G on 3x scalar for about a year kills it to the point it cant do stock settings anymore

3x isnt even that aggressive

[low sorrel]

i think i have scalar to max

[merry stirrup]

i would be shocked if you could run stock settings now lol

[shell void]

as far as i know scalar just lets you use a little more voltage

it’s not major

[fringe vigil]

this mf bish you wanna punch so bad

[shell void]

he looks british

is he british jorj

[low sorrel]

what your saying is i should buy a 13900ks

[fringe vigil]

sicilian

[merry stirrup]

idk anything i saw surrounding am4 toward the later end said not to use scalar cause it seems like it killed a lot of cpus

i saw 1.52+ idle requests on 5700g

this does not suprise me

[pallid marsh]

https://thegamepost.com/borderlands-4-boss-4k-1440p-frames/ y'all need to stop playing the game wrong

[merry stirrup]

whats with people disabling preferred cores on ryzen i see it a lot

[vestal granite]

hes right you know

[merry stirrup]

seems like nonsense

[shell void]

do you mean running allcore ratios with pbo instead of letting 2 cores boost higher?

[vestal granite]

the world aint all about 4K sometimes you gotta lower the resolution and just play the game for fun u know

[turbid locust]

game can’t release fast enough tbh

[shell void]

1 or 2 core boosts are stupid, they do nothing except juice synthetic benchmarks and degrade those two cores

[low sorrel]

uhhhhhh

[merry stirrup]

nah the CPPC preferred core settings

ig those are the same things but kinda not

[low sorrel]

i did not do that totally

[merry stirrup]

reports to os 2 best cores and scheduler tries to do its best with that

[low sorrel]

man why are gpus so expensive

[merry stirrup]

BUY AM5 NOT A GPU

FREAK. smh man

[low sorrel]

i have a 3060

[merry stirrup]

and a 5800x

[low sorrel]

yeah

at 1440p

[merry stirrup]

my ks holds me back at times i dont imagine your scenario would be different

[low sorrel]

also this ventus card is screaming my ear off

[merry stirrup]

so valid just throw it away

[low sorrel]

idk most of the games i play my 3060 is pinned at 100%

even valorant

[merry stirrup]

wild

the 3060 is a lil slow ig

[low sorrel]

only game that it doesn't do it is hoi4

[topaz veldt]

Stop trying to play our game at the same resolution you played Battlefield 6 at, in beta, and had fun.

[low sorrel]

only thing im worried about is my small ass room turning into a toaster during the summer

[vestal granite]

3060 aint gonna do that

[low sorrel]

it already goes like 6c over the rest of my house during summer

[shell void]

stop trying to play games at a modern resolution on your flagship current gen PC

[low sorrel]

my room is tiny

[shell void]

[vestal granite]

i bet thats because youre in the room and u generate heat

[topaz veldt]

but also that would be fine if the other games were having issues - BF6 imho looks better than BL4.... and it actually works lol in_beta_

[shell void]

yeah idk what’s up with BL4

[vestal granite]

isnt it the same engine

i cant imagine them needing to upgrade

[pallid marsh]

I have the whole basement to heat up ez

[vestal granite]

basements are scary

[low sorrel]

thats where my 80 year old grandma lives

[topaz veldt]

"Stop playing at 4K my game sucks - play it at 1440P so you don't return it and I can fuel my yacht"

[granite dirge]

@wise bear i have to plug this cable into the wall for power?

[wise bear]

ja

[low sorrel]

i don't think she would apperate me screaming LAV EAST at 12am

[granite dirge]

that defeats the purpose of this,

i was trying to not have to use the ikea power puckm

[wise bear]

Then how do you expect to increase the range of usb3

[pallid marsh]

I could hook her up with my 82 year old grandpa

[granite dirge]

i dont know thats why i was asking for help

[low sorrel]

she has cancer and can barely go out

[wise bear]

thats how you do it

[granite dirge]

i just needed someething to tonncet my hub to my pc,

[wise bear]

well if you want usb3 at a distance, that's how you gotta do it yo

[granite dirge]

20 feet,

[low sorrel]

also racist

[pallid marsh]

That's how my gma went out

[granite dirge]

they cant do usb 3 at 20 feet without power

[wise bear]

usb3 maxes out at like 10ft without a repeater

its not power it's data

[granite dirge]

they literally seel usb cables longer than 10 feet

[pallid marsh]

Perfect match

[wise bear]

Mija its signal integrity for usb3 that's the issue

[low sorrel]

shes not white

[pallid marsh]

Why did you make your GF cry?

[pallid marsh]

Oh nvm

[fringe vigil]

then what color

[wise bear]

Didn't indicate a lane change

[low sorrel]

I'm a chinese person living in the most asian city in NA what'd you expect

[low sorrel]

green

[fringe vigil]

is she shrek

[low sorrel]

totally

[pallid marsh]

China Town?

[low sorrel]

she used to live their before moving in

[pallid marsh]

I would get fat living in China Town

Or die from too much sodium consumption

[low sorrel]

more like get addicated to heroin nowadays

(our china town went to shit)

[pallid marsh]

My doctors said neighborhoods wouldn't have enough supplies for me if I ever got addicted to shit

[low sorrel]

i mean i don't think many people would give you shit to eat

[rigid stone]

Wait I just realized uBlock Origin is still on the chrome extension store but is no longer able to be activated due to it not following chromes policy

[granite dirge]

now i need to find a charger to use. guess i have to order on amazon... again.

[vale cosmos]

common chrome L

[granite dirge]

then i can test, if it works

[wise bear]

if you have food stamps you can get prime half off monthly

[granite dirge]

i dont get food stamps and am in the process of canceling my prime as they have been shit lately

[vale cosmos]

damn really?

[rigid stone]

you can still use it through their website though https://share.google/kHnJ77hZrGlFCmnco

[vale cosmos]

or just dont use chrome

[rigid stone]

now it makes me wanna use firefox

[wise bear]

UBL also works just fine & the same from the same dev

[vale cosmos]

i love firefox

[rigid stone]

but what about yt ads.....

[wise bear]

Yeah it's great tbh almost all my shit is next-day

[edgy laurel]

https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/ublock-origin-lite/ddkjiahejlhfcafbddmgiahcphecmpfh?hl=en

or

https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/adguard-adblocker-beta/apjcbfpjihpedihablmalmbbhjpklbdf?utm_source=ext_app_menu

[wise bear]

Oh see I pay for premium so i don't care about that

[low sorrel]

theres also work arounds to get it activated

[pallid marsh]

Smh giving big google money

[rigid stone]

I don't want to be traumatized by their ads again, I can't take rise of kingdoms and ai chatbot 18+ ads anymore

[edgy laurel]

have to pry my YT Premium sub from my cold dead hands

[vocal plume]

Pihole

[wise bear]

i pay for yt, I pay for gdrive..

[steel stream]

I pay for nothing

[rigid stone]

I pay for icloud+ but its only 1usd for 50gb

[low sorrel]

I paid for a Google pixel 2 xl

[edgy laurel]

everyone with an iphone should do this. its worth it

[vale cosmos]

i do pay for premium, i switched to proton though, its quite nice

[rigid stone]

I have Apple One

[low sorrel]

should i buy apple care for my airpods or no

[rigid stone]

Can I have this plane seat please? "you DO know you are talking to someone with 15,000,000 POWER RIGHT???"

[vale cosmos]

i like random creators i watch to get more money tbh,

[vocal plume]

Lol

[rigid stone]

I chose the vikings for a increased capacity for collecting resources

[vocal plume]

Tbh thats the only reason I pay for premium. The person making content gets more of the money

[pallid marsh]

So you can get them lost or stolen?

[low sorrel]

I will lose them considering I don't have find my because android

[rigid stone]

I wanna use Zen but for some reason every website except the official one will load its html which results in it not being updated, always stuck to vivaldi on windows for some reason

[pallid marsh]

They have an android app nvm it's only for anti stalking with air tags

[rigid stone]

besides vivaldi default ad blocking is goated anyway

[low sorrel]

can i pair airpods to find my without an iphone?

i guess i could steal one of someone to do it

[pallid marsh]

I lied

[rigid stone]

you can own a watch or mac, or register the product in find my

[low sorrel]

I don't own either of those

[rigid stone]

apple usually lets you register products through their website or account details

they usually require you to with airpods to activate warranty

[low sorrel]

im probably gonna buy an iphone next now huh

is this how they get you

[edgy laurel]

the ecosystem works well

[rigid stone]

you can also use itunes on windows to register airpods

[edgy laurel]

looking forward to airpod pro 2's

[rigid stone]

they just announced the pro 3's

[edgy laurel]

er, 3's

whateverthefuck they're called

[low sorrel]

i bought pro 2s because they were only 100 bucks

[edgy laurel]

the new ones

[low sorrel]

apparenity it has lossless with the iphone 17

[edgy laurel]

I did the iOS26 update today. I hate it.

[shell void]

skull

[rigid stone]

the pro 2's support spatial and lossless audio

[pallid marsh]

Skeleton

[edgy laurel]

hate is a bit strong. the "glass" effect just looks bad though

[shell void]

i think you can customize it quite a bit

[edgy laurel]

reminds me of fucking Vista

[lone scarab]

oh wow

[low sorrel]

good thing im using an s22 then

[low sorrel]

vista was peak for 2007

[edgy laurel]

trying to figure that out

[shell void]

the theme used for vista/7 was very popular

(vista and 7 are basically the same os)

windows 11 is to windows 10 what windows 7 is to vista

[low sorrel]

ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww i just looked at a video of ios 26

[lone scarab]

its ew

[low sorrel]

ts looks nasty icl

[rigid stone]

yk it works on the iPhone 13

[low sorrel]

yk i don't wanna buy a new phone

[steel stream]

thanks jorj

[steel stream]

yk you should stop being poor /s

[merry stirrup]

get efficient gpus

[steel stream]

yeah i have it installed, not great

[low sorrel]

aight buying a 7900xtx brb

[edgy laurel]

i've not seen/noticed anything truly new other than that. i already forgot what it told me was new when I booted it up

[steel stream]

hm? I know spatial but was not aware of lossless

[pallid marsh]

Ew no fsr4

[steel stream]

photo app is now a bit better imo, returned to it's previous forms

[merry stirrup]

you uhh

missed the mark on that one a bit

[steel stream]

liquid glass is nice for wallpapers, but everything else not so mucj

[merry stirrup]

liquid ass

[steel stream]

yeahhh

[merry stirrup]

didnt like it as soon as i saw anythinig about it

just looks like they want windows aero on ios 16 without making any other changes

[steel stream]

it's great for tvOS

[turbid locust]

lmao how

[steel stream]

but anything else it is poopy

[low sorrel]

idk 1440p max settings probably

[turbid locust]

1. Why are you playing Val at max settings?
2. I was not seeing 100% usage on a GTX 1080 at 1440p lol

[steel stream]

Like it's not bad for this, anything else no

[low sorrel]

wtf i have to root my phone to get ear detection, head gestures, converstional awareness, and noise control modes

[low sorrel]

look good

[pure garnet]

i can barely notice on tvos tbh

[steel stream]

yeah I just think it's so much less intrusive on tvOS, it's great for when you are watching content and you bring up the controls, it just blends into the content. But for a phone I want high contrast, I want to see what exactly I am looking at

[pure garnet]

i think on a nicer panel it'd also look a lot better tvos wise

[low sorrel]

man how much is an iphone

[steel stream]

true

[merry stirrup]

uh

depending on means of acquisition

i find a lot of people on fbm selling their 1 or 2 gen old pro max models for very cheap

but id say used phones are some of the sketchiest tech you can get used cause the whole device revolves around that battery

[low sorrel]

all i want is type c because i sure as shit aren't buying lighting cables

[merry stirrup]

like this is an adbsurdly good price

[low sorrel]

wtf

[steel stream]

zamn

[merry stirrup]

a little worse but still good deal

you can get genuinely okay deals if you just snipe because the 17 year old selling their phones on craigslist or fbm have no idea how much their parents paid on the contract for it

[low sorrel]

is an iphone 12 for 150 good

[edgy laurel]

I love listings where the person has no idea how to take a picture of their stuff

[low sorrel]

cad

[merry stirrup]

sounds good but the 12 is old and my battery is getting long in the tooth even after a replacement

[edgy laurel]

would you have given me $500 for my 12 Pro Max?

[merry stirrup]

no sir

i got mine for free

[pallid marsh]

Isn't the 12 the first iPhone with 5g support?

[merry stirrup]

id pay 500$ for this 16 pro max i just found on fbm tho

[edgy laurel]

that seems sus

[merry stirrup]

quote "17 year old selling their phones on fbm because they have no idea how much their parents paid on the contract"

1080ti for 180$ kill me please

[low sorrel]

i'll just wait for my cousin to jump from an 16 pro max to a 17 pro max and buy it off him ig

[merry stirrup]

yesss the scam yesss

[low sorrel]

Wtf is this photo

[edgy laurel]

#tech-chat-2 message

[merry stirrup]

lmao

also how tf do people not know you cant just put your number in a facebook post

[low sorrel]

How do you even manage to get it that out of focus

[merry stirrup]

😭 mustve taken it with their android

[edgy laurel]

people figure out how daily

[low sorrel]

Honestly, my s22 sells for ~200

Only 200 bucks for a iPhone 15

Not a terrible deal icl

[merry stirrup]

i like the beeg phones

[hoary hatch]

https://tenor.com/view/amazed-gif-9474968

[merry stirrup]

thats basically me i wont lie

[hoary hatch]

This is floppa

[merry stirrup]

i have kurt kobane hair tho

cobain?

cobain

[turbid locust]

herobrine

[merry stirrup]

dont say that bro hes going to find you

[merry stirrup]

if i found herobrine id call my friend kevin

yooooooooo

ddr5 10k pretty cool mane

[frank zealot]

yeet everything into the sun.
We've gone too far.

[merry stirrup]

what the fuck

i bet that shit is like 16$ too cause youre in store

in store cables have got to be the largest scam ive seen im so deadass

tell me why this dp cable at walmart is like 20$ lol

although i might be spoiled cause i just take whatever cable i want from work

[brave panther]

https://tenor.com/view/ian-malcolm-jurassic-park-preoccupied-gif-14303484

[frank zealot]

because accessories in retail are profit makers

[turbid locust]

manifesting this for myself 🙏🏼

B850 Mpower + 8500g bro 🙏🏼

[merry stirrup]

sounds like a lovely plan i want to get non apu chips first maybe...

[turbid locust]

zen 6 DDR5 11000 1:1

[merry stirrup]

i just like getting all the experience

if amd beats intel ram oc ill have no choice

[turbid locust]

type shittington

[frank zealot]

all accessories are money makers for stores

most of the big items make very little profit margin, so they get made up on extras

[merry stirrup]

yeah its just gross though i dont understand paying 16-22$ for an iphone charger in store when i can get one on amazon for 4$

[whole lake]

Guess the switch

Difficulty:

[frank zealot]

a plastic one

[merry stirrup]

red switch

probably a knockoff by RK or similar

red dragon perhaps?

[whole lake]

Right. Which one?

[merry stirrup]

i just told you

[whole lake]

There isn't just one red switch out there

[merry stirrup]

mf

[whole lake]

There are many reds too

[merry stirrup]

enjoy making people guess

[whole lake]

Nah no

It's Keychron Red

[edgy laurel]

And not nearly enough physical differences for anyone to know the difference visually.

[whole lake]

Well yeah

[merry stirrup]

that is indeed why i stopped guessing

also its a clone of a cherry red its not a different red its a different producer

[frank zealot]

This is so lore-accurate

[edgy laurel]

GameFAQs was essential back in the day

[frank zealot]

1000% yes

and they were text because dial up was SO terrible

[edgy laurel]

Randy is still digging.

[pallid marsh]

Why does Randy want to be hated

[merry stirrup]

randy was already hated are we new here

[pallid marsh]

To randy yes

[merry stirrup]

fair enough

[topaz veldt]

How is this person a CEO

Left runs on a GTX 1080 with 8GB RAM at 60 FPS on max settings.

Right looks similar but top-tier cards struggle to reach 50 FPS with frame generation at 1440p.

[pallid marsh]

It's the same picture

[low sorrel]

i mean 4 does look better

@merry stirrup 15 pro max for 500 cad what do you think?

[merry stirrup]

good

[low sorrel]

botta get scammed

[vestal granite]

right looks worse

looks more like play-do than older style which was like a drawn style

i always liked how borderlands looked, didnt look like a super polished hyper-realistic RDR2 game that you need HDR to enjoy but it was unique and added a cartoonish feel to an otherwise super violent franchise which is also on-brand with the sarcastic approach they take to the writing u know what i mean

idk art words but i think its the cell shading thats missing like they didnt cell shade it or whatever

[turbid locust]

The best thing Randy could do for Borderlands 4 right now is shut the fuck up lmfao

[pure garnet]

remember when rocksteady just pulled arkham knight and fixed it?

[vestal granite]

no

i dont remember good things that companies do only bad things

[pallid marsh]

Fractal did a recall of the potential fire causing PC case

[vestal granite]

they had a fire causing PC case?

thats not good

[merry stirrup]

nzxt did too lol

[warm quarry]

how

[vestal granite]

i remember that one because i dont like nzxt and thats something i can use to justify it even though my hatred is mostly superficial

[merry stirrup]

pcie riser for nzxt iirc

and corsair too they both had cases like that i think

[warm quarry]

like psu n stuff i get but how do you make a pc case cause a fire

[pallid marsh]

https://www.fractal-design.com/important-message-regarding-torrent/

[warm quarry]

i cant be the only one who thinks of when reading torrent

[vestal granite]

pcie riser cable had a screw to secure it and that screw was really close to the PCB traces which caused shorts if the screw was screwed in

or something

[warm quarry]

lmao

[turbid locust]

someone @ me when the B850 Mpower releases, otherwise I have no reason to live

[merry stirrup]

sounds good macintosh

[turbid locust]

well, until skate comes out tomorrow

[vestal granite]

why do they keep releasing old games and then removing the number so you dont know its skate #35

for franchises i mean

like oh yeah this is halo infinite not halo 14

this is call of duty modern warfare 3 not call of duty modern warfare 3 #2 or installment number 22

[pallid marsh]

Mario #56

[warm quarry]

id love numbers tbh

[thick frost]

the amount of systems that come in at work to be built with 9800x3ds and 5060 tis is actually insane

[warm quarry]

or at least something like official telling you wich is wich so i dont have to trust the internet

[vestal granite]

COD: 24 just doesnt have the same ring to it i guess

which isnt an exaggeration they are at 24 now

[turbid locust]

They do this when the monetization style changes. They’re going from paid releases to F2P/Live Service.

[vestal granite]

and they arent even like connected in any way black ops 6 is set before black ops 3 which is set after black ops 4

[turbid locust]

Different sub series of COD

[vestal granite]

well why dont the sub series make sense

[turbid locust]

Believe it or not, media doesn’t have to release in chronological canonical order

[vestal granite]

heres the series order
Black Ops (1960s)
Black Ops 2 (1980s)
Black Ops 3 (2060s)
Black Ops 4 (2040s)
Black Ops 5 (1980s)
Black Ops 6 (1990s)
Black Ops 7 (2030s)

[merry stirrup]

theyre 2 diff timelines i thought

starting with mw:2019

[vestal granite]

so basically you should go
Black Ops -> Black Ops 5 -> Black Ops 2 -> Black Ops 6 -> Black Ops 7 -> Black Ops 4 -> Black Ops 3

[merry stirrup]

or perhaps it was mw3

[vestal granite]

so why is it the same fuckin franchise and subseries and the numbers kept going

[merry stirrup]

either way im pretty sure the cod games now are in a different timeline

[vestal granite]

atleast the modern warfare ones are kind of in order
Modern Warfare -> Modern Warfare -> Modern Warfare 2 -> Modern Warfare 3 -> Modern Warfare 2 -> Modern Warfare 3

[gentle urchin]

Battlefield.

[blazing ibex]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/M3DNMC

Is this good

[merry stirrup]

no

i actually contracted diseases

??wtf is the point of 2 1x16gb kits just buy a 2x16 kit for cheaper

is this a real list

like genuinely planned

[pure garnet]

ragebait list

every single one of those parts less the cooler is something to complain about

[merry stirrup]

might have to agree based off the lack of response

[civic heath]

no response within 5 minutes Must be ragebait

[merry stirrup]

no response after i responded like 20 seconds after they sent it yes

ragebait because none of these are good picks to the point where it kinda seems on purpose

[civic heath]

who wouldnt want to respond to such nice criticism

[merry stirrup]

them i guess

[civic heath]

that case is fucking ugly though

[merry stirrup]

the hwole computer

q300l is literally the most hated case on the market

[civic heath]

https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/TDgmt3

what about mine

[merry stirrup]

lots of things in that list you could do better for the pric e

[merry stirrup]

ram is an L choice iirc,noctua branded fan controller is a lil expensive, board is expensive

i paid 120$ for the same board like a year ago

noctua branded fan controller can just be replaced with any generic splitter/hub

[civic heath]

theyre all similarly expensive

[merry stirrup]

theres no way theres not a single fan controller cheaper than 35$ 😭

[civic heath]

probably is

[merry stirrup]

on us amazon you can get splitters/hubs/controllers for like 5-10$

looks like a list itll work

not terrible part choices its all good

[civic heath]

corsair has one but its like 70 bucks

[merry stirrup]

just get the rando offbrand ones, not anything special about those hubs

[civic heath]

fair enough

[merry stirrup]

just wires

i would personally move to p12 pro fans

[civic heath]

are they significantly better

oh wait theyre a lot cheaper actually

26€ for a 5 pack

[merry stirrup]

https://www.amazon.de/-/en/Thermaltake-AC-023-AN1NAN-A1-Commander-Port-Fans/dp/B015KG6HP0/

[merry stirrup]

yes and better too iirc

https://de.pcpartpicker.com/product/4cCCmG/patriot-viper-venom-32-gb-2-x-16-gb-ddr5-6000-cl30-memory-pvv532g600c30k

consider this ram as its only a dollar more

[pure garnet]

hey noctua one has a bunch of capacitors it doesn't need

[merry stirrup]

lol

[pure garnet]

(i got it for the bit)

[civic heath]

why does it have to look like that 💔

[merry stirrup]

i think it looks fine wdym

[civic heath]

it would probably look a bit out of place

then again my current pc is ugly as fuck

[merry stirrup]

https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/nTyTLc

swap to a grey board and thats not true anymore

[civic heath]

just gonna make it look worse

then again i dont look at my pc a lot

[turbid locust]

every time I see a fucked up pc parts list I just have the urge to link an Xbox

[merry stirrup]

up to you i dont super care about theming in my own rigs as long as it looks kind of okay

[civic heath]

you should see my current pc

[merry stirrup]

it computes

[civic heath]

parts bin build

[merry stirrup]

yep thats gross

[civic heath]

looks nice

[merry stirrup]

id say with your current computer looking like that...you may not have a lot of room to talk 💀

however you clearly have the budget so its not that deep either way

[civic heath]

its a prebuilt i gradually upgraded

[merry stirrup]

that one?

[civic heath]

yea

[merry stirrup]

what flavor it doesnt look terrible

[civic heath]

gpu was free

[merry stirrup]

aside from the vs450 i think those are bombs

[civic heath]

i specifically specced that because otherwise it wouldve come with a "xilence"

[merry stirrup]

oh god

minor upgrades

[civic heath]

it also occasionally shuts its fan off with a loud clunk

[merry stirrup]

just for fun?

[civic heath]

this was what it looked like originally

amd fx 6300 and a 1050ti

[merry stirrup]

i had a similar board

oof

my condolences im proud it made it this far already

[civic heath]

kind of want to see how long i can keep using it for tbh

but at some point its not worth investing money into anymore

[pure garnet]

that looks like the board i had in the work pc

[civic heath]

have had it freeze up for 30 seconds like 5 times today so something may finally be failing

[civic heath]

wouldnt be surprised this might just be a generic super cheap one

[merry stirrup]

its a p8 something or other

well around that era at least i had a very similar boar din my first rig

[pure garnet]

[merry stirrup]

i dont think i ever had a 775 board that wasnt oem

im trying to think really hard

i can remember 1366 stuff i had but not if i ever had 775

[edgy laurel]

that was like one chipset

x58, at least consumer

[merry stirrup]

yeah

i had 1156 too

never as a daily but i had those platforms

i have an oem 1156 board in my house rn it even works

and has a shitass cpu in it idk what one

[edgy laurel]

i think i went straight from X58 to... drum roll... H97..

[pure garnet]

oldest platform i owned was z68 which i think is 1156?

[merry stirrup]

z68 is sandy 1155

2nd gen

[pure garnet]

the 1155/1156 is not one i ever remember

[shell void]

[shell void]

[merry stirrup]

freak

[edgy laurel]

na, this constitutes school and real life putting the brakes on pc stuff. got back into it with 4690k/GTX970

hardforum talked me out of 4790k

[merry stirrup]

good

they didnt even do you wrong

esp since it was during the era lol

[edgy laurel]

just lost HT

[merry stirrup]

yep. a lot of games gained perf from turning it off anyways

[shell void]

no direct die watercooled 5960x with hyperthreading disabled running at 5GHz? smh

do you even like computers bro

[edgy laurel]

bro, the board

[merry stirrup]

augh i loves those boards

sabertooth is even better

[shell void]

that's some healthy i/o for an affordable mITX board

[edgy laurel]

the gold circle era

[merry stirrup]

these boards werent even good

but they were beautiful

[edgy laurel]

whoa I forgot about Sabertooth

[merry stirrup]

i never will

[shell void]

sabertooth was cooler branding than TUF

[merry stirrup]

shit smacks

they had a white one

[edgy laurel]

whoa

[merry stirrup]

and one for poor people

[edgy laurel]

for the time, thats wild

[merry stirrup]

yes theyre beautiful boards that actually secretly did a lot

i super like them

[shell void]

looks old an old COD camo

[merry stirrup]

yeah and thats exactly what i want out of my computer

[edgy laurel]

i dig the slot covers

[merry stirrup]

yeah me too and the fan they had for under the "armor"

i think theyre the first full cover boards

which are genuinely the only boards that i like the look of enough to put into my main machine

i hate looking at bare pcb

[edgy laurel]

can we take a moment to appreciate the best CMOS battery mounting method

shit quality but

[merry stirrup]

one fo the sideways ones?

[edgy laurel]

slot in, easy access

[merry stirrup]

ooh yes those are super easy

hold on that itx thing made me think of a cool board that @green marsh even has

[shell void]

floppa you need this board for your pat gelsinger binned 11900k

[merry stirrup]

apart of previous P8 series i mentioned

sandy bridge with a sllotted vrm

[edgy laurel]

that is a monstrosity but I love it

DTX?

[merry stirrup]

no thats just itx

[edgy laurel]

is it? looks taller

[merry stirrup]

they packed everything on that fucking board

[edgy laurel]

but I guess it has to be given where the slot is

[merry stirrup]

i dont think so. its 1 slot extra width

compared to the io shield*

so thats like normal position for itx

it might be a little wide perhaps

[merry stirrup]

mmmm

[edgy laurel]

sick name

IMPACT

[merry stirrup]

ooh ooh reminds me of the fatality lineup

i had an am3+ fatality board

[edgy laurel]

postcode on the I/O

[merry stirrup]

990FX killer

[merry stirrup]

holy fuck

they just won the best placement for it with a hidden 4th option

given the purpose of this board that is literally the best spot to put it

[edgy laurel]

I feel important having owned a fatality branded board. that it was a shitty B350 doesn't matter

[edgy laurel]

i've never seen it there before, had no idea this board had that

[merry stirrup]

this board was so fucking sick. it has nvme bro

[whole lake]

Gotta love all them light modes 🚨 🪩

[merry stirrup]

i got this board out of an ewaste bin and replaced the socket with a different way worse asrock am3+ board i had

[edgy laurel]

was it? or just sata? if PCIe probs like 2 lanes lol

[merry stirrup]

its full pcie

i think it might be 2 lanes but its the fastest ive felt a platform of that age feel

[edgy laurel]

i know early NVMe slots were commonly like 2 lanes only

[merry stirrup]

yeah that doesnt sound wrong

i had a uhhh FX 6300 it hink in it

let me check hwbot

ah i had both

i didnt have a cooler for it which is why the clocks are so pitiful

iirc i was on a stock cooler

[edgy laurel]

fucking with AMD during the bad old days

respect

[merry stirrup]

theres no way i had a sabertooth

that has to be wrong i dont remember ever having one

OH HOLY SHIT

i did have one i remember

[edgy laurel]

did you buy it online?

[merry stirrup]

no this was a 20$ computer on craigslist

[edgy laurel]

i pull up receipts from 2005 lol

[merry stirrup]

my dad of all people saw it and said it might be worht picking up

ended up getting it for free from the guys yard lol

[shell void]

[merry stirrup]

[gentle urchin]
