[shell void]

i knew they were bad but i dont remember my FX 6300 being that horrible to use

[merry stirrup]

they were

[edgy laurel]

R23 was way too new to be using on that chip lol

[shell void]

yes it was extremely slow for games but it was playable

[merry stirrup]

dont worry lol

[shell void]

best am3+ board

[edgy laurel]

yeah thats more like it lol

[shell void]

(one of the worst)

[merry stirrup]

i still have my am3+ board

not the fatality or sabertooth i sold those both but i have an

[edgy laurel]

just on hand lol

[shell void]

yeah it just chills in the part graveyard in my room

[merry stirrup]

its whatever this one is, i think this is the one i stole the socket from for the fatailiuty

wait no this is more high end than the fatality

im so lost ig i never had a fatality and i had that

[gentle urchin]

isn't Asrock like the only one who didn't support ECC RAM for AM3+

[merry stirrup]

that looks super familiar but i thought i had a fatality board i wonder what im remembering

[merry stirrup]

who the fuck is using ECC ram on am3+

[fringe vigil]

ooo

[merry stirrup]

yeah iirc it took a couple minutes esp on the 6300

r23 on my 7700k took like 3 minutes so i cant imagine that

[gentle urchin]

I also got that AsRock one, chill

[shell void]

extraordinarily based individuals

[merry stirrup]

like the 8350 wasnt that bad

[pure garnet]

windows 7 benchmate

[merry stirrup]

the 6300 was terrible to try and do anything with

[pure garnet]

holy unc

[shell void]

aero is pretty

[merry stirrup]

look at the date 😭 im not that much of an unc

i play with an absurd amount of hardware im not old i swear

[pure garnet]

you're younger than me but still unc

[shell void]

i wonder if we'll see a revival of windows aero because of apple going back to translucent and 3d elements again

[merry stirrup]

💀 im wise

[shell void]

ALL companies switched to flat branding and UI specifically because Apple did it

i welcome the return to 3d

[merry stirrup]

yoo look at this 7700k result

this is peak cursed ram config

[turbid locust]

AYO

[merry stirrup]

its 2x8 rev.e and 2x8 bdie

[turbid locust]

diabolical typo

[merry stirrup]

didnt run over 3200mhz on that board/config but did run c13

[merry stirrup]

LEAVE ME ALONE

[merry stirrup]

sold the bdie (2017, 2133 bin) for 2x8 more rev.e for my 11700K

[shell void]

floppa you wanna buy this dusty ass rev e so bad

[pure garnet]

thermalright

[merry stirrup]

if you go thru the hassle of finding out the manu code(?)

is it C9BJZ?

[pure garnet]

i do not own any ddr4 platforms

[shell void]

it was bought at many different times

ill pull it out and line it up

[merry stirrup]

closer to the end of ballistix the better

[pure garnet]

why does your phone camera actually take decent photos

the camera on my 15 pro max always get blurry shit

[fringe vigil]

wasup

[merry stirrup]

and i think C9BLM is also recognized as good

[shell void]

i keep ISO at -0.7 because otherwise photos look blown out and grainy

[merry stirrup]

C9BJZ are the ics found in many of the max lineup

[fervent elm]

Idk how to take good phone photos
My s24+ has a decent camera but man its dark in my house so potato

[fringe vigil]

floopa change ur pfp to that pic

[fervent elm]

Why though

[fringe vigil]

aria u getting iphone17

[merry stirrup]

no

[fervent elm]

No
Probably an s26 unless i manage to break this one
The ports already fubar but i got a wireless charger

[merry stirrup]

my pfp will stay floppa

[shell void]

yeah i don’t see a C anywhere on here big bro

[merry stirrup]

i think you have to crack them or open thaiphoon burner with them in a rig

[shell void]

oh hell naw

[merry stirrup]

see that’s why i said bother but they are pretty

i’ll keep tabs on that

i could bin them all and sell the other 6 or something

[turbid locust]

Wobbly wiggly

[merry stirrup]

i had 8dimms myself but i broke 2 by the end

[shell void]

it must be nice to have a test bench ready to go

to just throw a board on

[merry stirrup]

one of them whole delidding and the other time while inserting

first and only sticks of ram i’ve killed by installing them wrong

that row of resistors at the slot isn’t high enough if you plug it in the wrong way and push they’ll shear off

a major oopsies

[shell void]

i would cry

unlimited power in my hands

[merry stirrup]

it wasn’t deep but i had never binned that stick so it could’ve been amazing

and the one i killed by delidding wasn’t good anyways

[merry stirrup]

i did this on z590 even i wasn’t that new to computers 😭

just an accident

bdie probably would’ve made me cry

rev.e is just a mid daily/valid ic

[turbid locust]

S8B in the big 28

[merry stirrup]

i have to collect a shit ton now

i think i may buy a couple of kits

d4 is finally actually increasing in price used so i’m gonna get all the cheap sr bdie and make people sad

i want to learn d3 but i feel like it might be too old at this point

near 20 year old platforms

haswell would be aight

[fervent elm]

Haswell is odd though for ram oc

[shell void]

the steve video is back online

[turbid locust]

Steve video?

[pure garnet]

probably the china 4090 one

[hoary hatch]

The 3hr Bloomberg glazing

[shell void]

so many 128GB flash drives

[edgy laurel]

i wanna know what that box is to write to them all

[heavy mantle]

frick man frick

alr i choosen what i will go for ma bedroom

x299 i got the mobo down

now what should i get cpu

[fervent elm]

Nice space heater

[heavy mantle]

ill buy am5 later on for a side project

[merry stirrup]

i tthink we deduced the 7940x was the only one worth it to buy

otherwise 10980xe

[heavy mantle]

oh yea but like

[edgy laurel]

why any of them..

[heavy mantle]

cuz

[fervent elm]

You can get a 7920x for 140$ new still
Lmao

[heavy mantle]

like i found 7920x to be the only 12/c24 non old xeon and can oc well for 80 buckroos

yesah but like hmm i mightve not looke daround but i couldnt find any newer systems that offeref a 12/c/24t for 70-90 bucks

[fervent elm]

The cost of entry is the board more than the cpu on old hedt stuff
X99 has some super cheap xeons

[heavy mantle]

i dont want to go the xeon route tho

[fervent elm]

X99s are straight compatible mostly
X299 requires some bios fuckery

[heavy mantle]

am not spending much on smthn am not goign to be using as offten ykwim? so like i kinda just wanted smthn of an hedt but like new enough to be newr ipc but not old enough where its like haswell brodwell era

[merry stirrup]

x299 doesnt have any unlocked xeons i dont think

[heavy mantle]

thw w ones?

[shell void]

you already own the motherboard?

[fervent elm]

Haswell is really as far back as id go
Avx2 is important for a number of newer games

[shell void]

there are no x299 compatible xeons

[edgy laurel]

you know 12 cores from 2017 and 12 cores from 2025 aren't the same thing right

[merry stirrup]

no you need to do hacks

[edgy laurel]

perfect, ty

[heavy mantle]

yeah yeah much more effiecent per cycle and allat jazz but like 2017 and on i wouldnt mind tbh

[heavy mantle]

one ebay click away

[shell void]

i do not support buying into X299 today

[heavy mantle]

ah

[edgy laurel]

efficiency.. how about slow as shit compared to a 6-core from today

[fervent elm]

3900x and an am4 board perchance?
120 ish on ebay
Boards are half the cost

[pure garnet]

12 useless cores are worse than 6 great ones

[edgy laurel]

a lot has changed in 8 years, core count isn't the be all end all

[shell void]

it's just skylake and doesnt support ecc :(

[heavy mantle]

i have looked in to that

that was a good contender for me, 12 zen 3 cores isnt bad'

[merry stirrup]

my 7900x3d was a great multicore cpu

[heavy mantle]

and the over all price was what 230 ish usd?

[edgy laurel]

buying for a nostalgia fuck around machine, sure. your main rig? that old stuff? hell no

[merry stirrup]

i think it got almost 31k points in r23

[fervent elm]

3900x is similar perf to first gen x299 stuff
Much less heat, bs

[merry stirrup]

4 triple cores in a substrait trenchcoat

[heavy mantle]

oh no lol, that isnt for my main machine, at max i will run zoom for some clases i have in my uni online there and maybe to play a couple of smoll games here and there, so thats why i didnt need to choose anything newr, but like the best of the old stuff and put them there yk?

[heavy mantle]

o0o0

[hoary hatch]

The design to waste money

[merry stirrup]

corsair lawsuit

should i sign up cause i have crappy corsair ddr4 that i totally didnt buy on ebay

[hoary hatch]

I signed up to get my $5

[merry stirrup]

totally not

corsair give me my money

[hoary hatch]

Just do it

[merry stirrup]

yeah it just needs a serial or something

[hoary hatch]

Get your $7.23

[hoary hatch]

Naw fam

[edgy laurel]

not really, no

[hoary hatch]

You just say how many products you bought

[merry stirrup]

lmao okay

i bought juan kit

[hoary hatch]

If you are claiming 5 kits or less, no proof of purchase needed

[fervent elm]

Unless youre an oc'er or are looking to reach local power use limits am4 and a 3900x is a far better option if you have to have 12 cores

[shell void]

3900x is ewaste too

[merry stirrup]

plus one

[shell void]

everything pre-ryzen 5000 is electronic garbage

[hoary hatch]

At least 10980xe is cool

[fervent elm]

Lol

[hoary hatch]

Uhhh is this one CPU under the hood or two cpus

3900x is basically quad tri-cores

[merry stirrup]

yeah

[shell void]

it's one monolithic 18 core cpu

[merry stirrup]

juan

[hoary hatch]

So no weird ring bus splitting it in half?

[shell void]

9980xe and 10980xe are mega overpriced though, 7980xe is the same thing and half the price

[heavy mantle]

alr so final thing to get, the first thing i see is what am going with i cant decide😭

[topaz veldt]

Stahhhp

[merry stirrup]

7940x is the highest value, 7980xe is the 2nd best

[brave panther]

sand witch

[merry stirrup]

triple layer

big mac cpu

[hoary hatch]

Iirc some of the 2010s Xeons had a weird topology

@topaz veldt how do I get my credit over 800

[merry stirrup]

crime

[hoary hatch]

I have good credit card standings (low utilization, never missed payment)
But my history isn't that long and most of it is student loans

Uhh all is student loans except for credit cards

[brave panther]

lga 2066 is very much mid

[heavy mantle]

alr thats its so am4 it is orrr ration a lil mroe moeny to the bedroom and get am5 sinatde for it

but like am putining in a 2080ti in it so like ahh i dont need anything that modern but idkk

[shell void]

if youre actually going to use the pc daily then i wouldnt buy x299 or am4

[heavy mantle]

hmm yeah

[shell void]

i dont see anything fishy

[hoary hatch]

I tried

[heavy mantle]

so what would you recommend in the end like cpu/mobo

[shell void]

why do u need another computer

[hoary hatch]

Maybe it was broadwell Xeons that had a weird topology like 22c SKU or something

[fervent elm]

If you want something with 10* cores thats relatively modern you can find 12600ks for cheap
(6 real 4 e)

12700fs similar i thinks

For 12* cores

[heavy mantle]

i just need smthn to put rhe 2080ti i have in it lol and use it there

[topaz veldt]

Use your credit card frequently but also pay it off every month

[heavy mantle]

lmao

[brave panther]

too hard, just buy house with cash

[heavy mantle]

i might take what aria take and do that

[thick frost]

Nah nah that’s what this is

[fervent elm]

Peak performance

[thick frost]

Plan to put dual 6 cores in it

[low sorrel]

How do you tell if a iPhone listing is fake

I almost fell for one twice

And now im paranoid

[fringe vigil]

this bitch

[topaz veldt]

Hmmm not sure if that will help credit

[hoary hatch]

Well that's disappointing

[topaz veldt]

how so

[hoary hatch]

It's already what I do

It's just holding extremely steady 770 range

[topaz veldt]

I won't ask your age but how many dollars a month do you charge and pay off (entire balance no carry)

[hoary hatch]

Uhhh not that much. Saving money for mortgage down payment

[arctic bronze]

i just have the floatplane subscription on my credit card

[hoary hatch]

Average month is $1000-$1500

Between 2 cards

[arctic bronze]

770 is pretty good tho

[hoary hatch]

I want that 800

[topaz veldt]

Yeah so 2 cars is not helping you because they'll assume you need the credit extended

Its ok to have multiple cards, but try to just use one and pay it off - after that, its just credit history

[hoary hatch]

More cards is bad?

[topaz veldt]

$1000-1500 is not a lot though, so it'll take a while to establish

[devout ridge]

You want a couple cards, but not dozens

[hoary hatch]

I just use the prime card for Amazon and gas

[topaz veldt]

More cards can hurt your credit when you are starting out

[hoary hatch]

And if I'm out of the country

[fringe vigil]

green bomber jackets >>>>>>

[hoary hatch]

Well my last hard inquiry drops off in January

[arctic bronze]

"Im #1, my credit score says so on both TransUnion and Equifax"

[topaz veldt]

when I was younger I just spent like literally all my shit on one card

[hoary hatch]

778 rn

[hoary hatch]

I do the bulk on one card

[topaz veldt]

So I'd get like $1600-3000/mo of bills and just zap it down over and over

[arctic bronze]

nice

[topaz veldt]

but the truth is if you're like... 28, you're just not going to have an 850

the credit history isn't there

[whole coral]

Imagine having a credit card

[hoary hatch]

My roommate and gf have over 800 and are same age/younger

[fervent elm]

I currebtly have a credit score of

[whole coral]

I just pay with cash. Or maybe at the most a debit card

[arctic bronze]

yeah im younger

[hoary hatch]

But they both have had car loans and credit cards for longer

[languid nimbus]

Can't wait for my PC in October

[hoary hatch]

I was a bit late getting a CC cause I wasn't sure if my responsibility (turns out I don't have spending problems even with credit)

[whole coral]

Paying with cash definitely isn’t common anymore in 2025 so I’m probably the minority

[arctic bronze]

says who?

[languid nimbus]

I can't get past that trial near Sherma those fuckass hornets

[arctic bronze]

its still very common

[fervent elm]

It appears the charger on my laptop died and fried some thing

[whole coral]

According to the Federal Reserve about 14% of payments in 2025 was made with cash

[hoary hatch]

Uhhh I didn't get a CC until I was 23

[topaz veldt]

I dunno your ages, but some times people have longer credit because they were a sub on an account with their parents, etc.

[fringe vigil]

which trial sir

[topaz veldt]

ya see like - that make fiscal sense but you're missing 5 years of potential history

even if it was like $500/yr history

[languid nimbus]

Yk Sherma singing at the door. If you go above do some stuff than go right. Then jump down you'll get into a chamber with like a lot of skeletons

[fringe vigil]

easy bro

[arctic bronze]

I got one when I was 16

[hoary hatch]

I swear my roommate has had lines of credit in his name for like 20 years thanks to his parents

[fervent elm]

I work at a gas station
Id say its roughly 60/30 between credit and cash

[arctic bronze]

Hollow song Silk knight

[topaz veldt]

yeah this can be a thing

[hoary hatch]

Hindsight I should have gotten one after my first year of working

[languid nimbus]

I'm just ass

[topaz veldt]

You should get a credit card ASAP so long as your parents have good credit

[fringe vigil]

did you know that sherma is a boy lol

[languid nimbus]

I did

[fringe vigil]

bruh i thought girl

sherma is so cute lol

[languid nimbus]

Yeah like Fa ra do li su to you too Sherma

[fringe vigil]

YES

hes a g

[languid nimbus]

PC topics I'm like very sure I'm getting my computer in October.

[low sorrel]

you can get a CC at 16???

[arctic bronze]

yeah, with ur parents being there

[fringe vigil]

what platform u on

also do better those skeletons are easy asf

[languid nimbus]

Ass. Like pure ass

[fringe vigil]

yeah youre ass bro

[languid nimbus]

I5-7200U and integrated graphics with 8gb ram

[fringe vigil]

ima be honest though this game aint for you if your struggling with those tiny skeletons lol

this game ruins your sanity

[languid nimbus]

I mean it ran GTA 4 yesterday at like 30 fps at Unholy 972x972p

[languid nimbus]

It's very stretchy

But my PC will probably have a RTX 3060 TI and Ryzen 5 5500. And if I'm lucky a 1440p monitor

[arctic bronze]

do 1080p with those specs

[topaz veldt]

so you're saying its ready for BL4

[languid nimbus]

I mean I can do 1440p in like competitive games like CS2

[languid nimbus]

Sorry if idk the acronym but what's BL4 again?

[arctic bronze]

3060ti isnt a very good 1440p card

[topaz veldt]

Borderlands 4

[languid nimbus]

Which cards are then?

[wraith steeple]

[languid nimbus]

If a 5090 struggled with it my HD620 won't even bother trying to render a single frame

[arctic bronze]

ones with more vram

[languid nimbus]

B580?

(whenever it's in stock and not scalped that is)

[arctic bronze]

I recommend a 4070 12 gig at least tbh

[pure garnet]

any reason you’re trying to jump to 1440 right away

feel like 1080 would be fine and you could get more performant options in your price range

[languid nimbus]

400/500$ PC budget mate. I mean the 9060xt has 16gb and only 300$

If I work next summer I'll get 750$

[fringe vigil]

catsoup when he realises that the area hes struggling with is nothing compared to whats to come

[arctic bronze]

you shouldnt be doing 1440p on a $400/$500 budget

[languid nimbus]

Hmm. What should I aim for (ik 1080p but like what other stuff)

[arctic bronze]

wdym

[languid nimbus]

Nvm actually

[pure garnet]

b580 would be solid for 1080p

[languid nimbus]

Well if I do get 1080p. You think it can run most games?

[pure garnet]

try and push for a 5600 though over 5500

5500 is not great

[arctic bronze]

3060ti is better at it tho but the 8gigs of vram screws it

[languid nimbus]

If I can find a offer for like 70$

[languid nimbus]

Is 8gb THAT bad? I thought 6 was alright back in 2023 and people hate on 8gb now

[arctic bronze]

8 gigs in 2025 sucks ass

you can max it at 1080p

[pure garnet]

+4gb vram -10% raster is easy choice tbh

[languid nimbus]

How much is optimal then

[arctic bronze]

12 minimum

[languid nimbus]

I'm not sure there's any 200$ GPUs that have 12gb sadly

[arctic bronze]

thats why i said to stick with 1080p

[pure garnet]

the b580 is 249 new

[edgy laurel]

oh buddy, you been under a rock?

[languid nimbus]

That's the MSRP. Scalpers have it at 300$

[arctic bronze]

thats good

[edgy laurel]

who is scalping B580's.. lmao

[fervent elm]

Rx6700xt

[pure garnet]

that was not hard to track down

[languid nimbus]

Wait what

[merry stirrup]

bro

do you get your info from internet explorer

[fervent elm]

NIMC i bet

[pure garnet]

they had scalping issues like 9 months ago

[merry stirrup]

do you just trust what youtubers are saying and dont bother to check pcpp

[pure garnet]

try using a real search engine

[fervent elm]

Using brave is a choice ™

[merry stirrup]

[languid nimbus]

Sorry I don't like Google

[wise bear]

and yet google is everywhere

[merry stirrup]

pcpp

[wise bear]

Your paranoia is noted for future bullshit

[fervent elm]

Hmm
Out of production now so retailers have it way high

[pure garnet]

i’m pretty sure even askjeeves knew the b580 price

[fervent elm]

Used 6700xts are around 200-250 tho

[languid nimbus]

Trust me I had opera GX before. I'm pretty sure all the data the people could've had got it already

[pure garnet]

gx and brave?

what an interesting software pipeline

[languid nimbus]

Yeah I am not good with browsers

[fringe vigil]

250 for a bomber jacket is crazy

should i

[languid nimbus]

I can get a Rx 6700xt for that. Hell an entire PC

[fringe vigil]

want me to get pc for you

i have 4090

[edgy laurel]

what are you going to do jorj

[languid nimbus]

I'm pretty sure if I plug it in I'll cause a circuit explosion

[fringe vigil]

lool

[languid nimbus]

And for 400$ most I can get from a 4090 is the VRAM

[fringe vigil]

catsoup how old are you

[arctic bronze]

you cant ask that

[fringe vigil]

well why aint he got funds to buy a pc

[languid nimbus]

Cause mate

[arctic bronze]

not all ppl have alot of throw away money

[languid nimbus]

I am not rich

[languid nimbus]

See

[fringe vigil]

2 weeks of work will get you a decent pc

[arctic bronze]

bruh

if only life was that ez

[languid nimbus]

If I'm paid like 10$ per hour for 5 days and I work for 6 hours I'll get 300$

That's IF I find a job that pays that

[edgy laurel]

peoples idea of "rich" is wild

[fringe vigil]

apply for job and buy pc

[languid nimbus]

Chick fil a pays 7.25$ per hour

[fringe vigil]

lets go

[languid nimbus]

Hmm

[arctic bronze]

I never said rich lol, I said throw away money

[languid nimbus]

Yk what fuck it

[arctic bronze]

federal minimum

[languid nimbus]

Im gonna get a job over the summer

[edgy laurel]

you didn't, but it was said

[arctic bronze]

walmart pays higher

[arctic bronze]

yes

[languid nimbus]

Not sure it lets 14 year olds work

[arctic bronze]

maybe, idk as I never tried. I only worked there for 1 summer

[edgy laurel]

where?

[languid nimbus]

NYC

[fringe vigil]

ask snail to buy pc for you

[topaz veldt]

ugh again?

[edgy laurel]

I think a good PC build is a long way off for a 14y/o. Maybe things are different now but I was in my 20's before I even thought of that

[frank cypress]

I think the only genuinely rich person in chat is 5nail

[fringe vigil]

me

[frank cypress]

maybe Mark

[low sorrel]

hey were all rich

[frank cypress]

you complained spending about 96 dollars on clothing

[low sorrel]

compared to an african child

[frank cypress]

sorry Jorj that is not rich

[arctic bronze]

I bought my first pc when I was 16 through farm work

[fringe vigil]

i have 4090

[topaz veldt]

I have been genuinely into PCs before I was 14... I will say, even as an enthusiast w/ a mother who was into software development, 14 I was still piecing together scraps

[edgy laurel]

point was its a stupid meaningless word, kids throw it around for anyone older then them with a steady job and ability to buy themselves things

[frank cypress]

that might just mean you make poor financial decisions

or you buy a flagship card every few years and ride with it

[low sorrel]

I mean 14y/os have 1000+ dollar phones all the timme

[frank cypress]

like Guilty does

[languid nimbus]

Found a 18$ per hour sushi cashier near me

[topaz veldt]

Nah they have a $17/month phone

[languid nimbus]

Good option

[low sorrel]

true

[fringe vigil]

ask mom to buy for you

[edgy laurel]

poor financial decisions, yes

[topaz veldt]

that sounds delicious

[low sorrel]

speaking of phones

i fucking hate marketplace

[frank cypress]

I wouldnt count your case as that

I mean gaming is your main hobby no?

[edgy laurel]

that makes one of us

[topaz veldt]

I think despite my son having me as a dad with my PCs, I am going to have my son build his own PC when he's older and he'll have to budget it and such

[frank cypress]

2k every few years isnt really that ludicris

if that is your only hobby

[languid nimbus]

Wages or the shop itself lol

[frank cypress]

not that you'd really lose money on flagship cards nowadays

[edgy laurel]

make sure thats before he realizes he had 5090's all over the house any time he wanted

[frank cypress]

so I'd even argue it's a better investment

[topaz veldt]

sushi dude

[pure garnet]

i built my vega 56/2600x at 15 i think

[arctic bronze]

its ludicrous

[low sorrel]

why do i feel like this is a slight dig at gulity

[pure garnet]

but i was working 2 jobs for a few months to cover the last of it

[edgy laurel]

dude I was going outside at 15, what has happened lmao

[frank cypress]

it is not

[topaz veldt]

I mean its kind of how I grew up too - mom had a dual socket pentium pro.... I still had to build my 333 P2 with birthday money and all

[low sorrel]

i bulit my first pc at 9

[pure garnet]

i wanted something, i had no money, i went to get money

i've been employed since 14

[topaz veldt]

I was always playing on this beast PC and then it was time for my own

[low sorrel]

and my second at 11 or 12 i forgett

[edgy laurel]

y'all ever just like.. setup the home built ramp and you and the kids in the neighborhood take turns breaking some bones trying to jump it

[topaz veldt]

its going to be hard to not just build him the craziest shit but its important so that he values it

[low sorrel]

no

[edgy laurel]

sigh

[low sorrel]

and gulity you say you aren't old

[frank cypress]

the children yearn for the mines

[low sorrel]

you guys can get jobs?

[topaz veldt]

We used to steal the keys to the bobcat on the construction building the houses next to us and push dirt into a pile and make a BMX track lol

[pure garnet]

in sc yeah at 14

[edgy laurel]

Freudian slip if I ever saw one

[topaz veldt]

muscle memory

[edgy laurel]

first one sounded cooler

[edgy laurel]

getting my buddies mom to take us to the skatepark was the coolest thing ever

[frank cypress]

uh

I dont think that is what that means

[low sorrel]

jorj no

[edgy laurel]

jorj you don't know what you had for breakfast

[fringe vigil]

your m

[low sorrel]

ok im aligning more and more with peytons take

[topaz veldt]

I went to that BMX track near Bensalem/street road and like broke a million pieces inside me

[edgy laurel]

you missed the edit

[fringe vigil]

oh stop being a little girl were just joking around

[low sorrel]

what was it

[fringe vigil]

bald RAT

[edgy laurel]

whoa

[low sorrel]

[edgy laurel]

but its ok cause its just a joke

[frank cypress]

I guess i did

[fervent elm]

I grew up on xp
Win 7 was perfect rip win 7

[low sorrel]

I grew up on windows 7 and 8

but i have zero memories of 8 other then my first time using windows 8

[fervent elm]

I have a bit
The weird sidebar that popped out and windows phone tile screen was odd
Regular desktop especially after the 8.2 update wasnt too bad really, besides the annoying side bar lol

[fervent elm]

[low sorrel]

how do you even manage to crack a modern iphone this badly

[agile wraith]

https://tenor.com/view/go-away-now-the-boys-gif-18377960

[fervent elm]

Did they run it over with a tank

[low sorrel]

i'd think it'll look better icl

[shell void]

dropping it on purpose because cracked phone with a lot of notifications = aura

[hoary hatch]

I haven't used windows 7 in 10+ years

I don't recall if the school PCs were on 7 or 8.1 when I graduated
Probably 7

I'm sure I've interacted with windows XP more recently than 7

[fervent elm]

School pcs were win 7 when i went in elementary
Win 10 in hs

[hoary hatch]

Fetus

[low sorrel]

same

[fervent elm]

Last time i used 7 it was starting up grandpas old laptop to see if it still worked fine (it did, first gen mobile i5)

[hoary hatch]

We were XP until high school

Uhhh maybe middle school had XP I can't remember

Middle school was mostly race wars with a bit of education in between

[fervent elm]

I used xp at home till i was about 10
We got an athlon apu office rectangle with win 7

Suprisingly capable igpu for the time, ran some decent games well, for a bit

[hoary hatch]

Idk what specs were in my childhood pc

[fervent elm]

My early childhood pc was a decent for the time p4 gateway a year older than myself

[hoary hatch]

I gamed a lot on it at the time

But I imagine it did 30fps 1024p with low settings on a good day

[languid nimbus]

My new school laptops have some new i5-1135G or whoever you call them with iris Xe graphics

[hoary hatch]

It was some HP pavilion I never looked at the model number

[languid nimbus]

Compared to Chromebooks they're a VERY big jump

[fervent elm]

It had 256mb of ram most of the time i remember using it

[hoary hatch]

New is half a decade ago

But it was gangbusters 10nm

Shit yields but 100m tr/mm

[languid nimbus]

Better than my home laptop

[hoary hatch]

On 10nm duv

[merry stirrup]

yeah

supa high transistor density

[hoary hatch]

Actually competitive with N7

[merry stirrup]

quite true

[hoary hatch]

I think ESF/Intel 7 is slightly worse

But it actually yields

[low sorrel]

oh right floppa

tthat 500$ 15 pro max

guess what

[hoary hatch]

My home laptop is zen2

[merry stirrup]

scam?

[fervent elm]

Scam

[low sorrel]

it was a scam

[languid nimbus]

Mine is i5-7200U

[fervent elm]

Until it died mine was a 5900hx

[merry stirrup]

my home laptop is whatever the 1035g4 is or whatever

[hoary hatch]

Ice lake

[merry stirrup]

10 nano metre

[low sorrel]

guys i have a feeling this 15 pro max for 180$ might be a scam

[fervent elm]

Maybe

[merry stirrup]

my usb capture ccard is here

and has a production date of the 7th month of 2020

[hoary hatch]

Should I have bought some Elgato capture cards at 50% off when I worked there

[merry stirrup]

no

[languid nimbus]

Youll get itel A15 pro max

[merry stirrup]

i need USB ones

the shitty ones are the ideal one in this use case

[hoary hatch]

They make (made?) USB ones

[merry stirrup]

do they use the same driver as this ms2109 based one

[low sorrel]

wait if im going to case the phone

[topaz veldt]

Is this a xeon?

[merry stirrup]

yes

[low sorrel]

do i even care about broken back glass

[topaz veldt]

prob like e5-2699 v4 or something

yeah they can't game lol

[languid nimbus]

Xeons aren't best for gaming

[shell void]

1650v4 is what youd want to put in those china boards

because itll boost to 4GHz stock

and is pennies

[merry stirrup]

v3* its unlocked, just flash a russian bios

[shell void]

if you wanna try running a 300W cpu in a china board with a bare minimum vrm and a modded russian bios then sure xd

[topaz veldt]

my eyes almost failed me on this one

[shell void]

if you want something that just works then 1650v4

[shell void]

[merry stirrup]

i mean you can get respectable clock speeds while working within the means of the board im sure past 4ghz

[shell void]

1.3v on a 5960x is 300W+

[merry stirrup]

so dont run 1.3 volts

[shell void]

you will have to get a china board and show me how it's done brother floppa

i dont think anyone should buy that junk anymore regardless

[merry stirrup]

can i use an hp z440 board

i still get clock and volt control its just 3x more scuffed

[shell void]

no it has to be one of those $35 china boards that barely have a vrm and require modded bios to overclock

[merry stirrup]

bro i exploit a bug in the microcode to allow softwware to change the multiplier

[languid nimbus]

I feel Like if you need a 40$ bundle xeons from Aliexpress are the most optimal option

[shell void]

most of those boards throttle at like 135w :p

[low sorrel]

14 pro or 15

[shell void]

always pro unless it's a 17

[merry stirrup]

okay ill buy one

[shell void]

60Hz is unusable

[languid nimbus]

14 is a pro. 15 is prolly amatuer

[low sorrel]

but usbc

[shell void]

60Hz is ewaste

[languid nimbus]

Switched from 60hz phone to 144. Will never return so agreed

[fervent elm]

S24+

[low sorrel]

ngl i limit my s22 to 60hz like 50% of the time

[fervent elm]

Do not the aple

[low sorrel]

to save battery

[shell void]

i would rather keep my 13 pro max instead of going to an iphone 16

because 60Hz pisses my eyes off

[languid nimbus]

Same

[steel stream]

no no no

[fervent elm]

I run mine at 1440 120
Bateri lyfe

[shell void]

the base iphone 17 looks good tho most people should buy that instead of the pro/max

[languid nimbus]

It felt like 144hz before testing out anything higher than 100hz

[languid nimbus]

After I switched I just love the smoothness

[low sorrel]

hey

it wouldn't last a school day withtout being uncomfortably low

[steel stream]

yeah huge w

[shell void]

unfortunately i take zoomed photos a lot so the pro has an obvious advantage that i want

[languid nimbus]

My school takes phones due to NYS law

[low sorrel]

i take almost zero photos

[fervent elm]

Id like better low light perf from my s24 tbh
Its kinda ass

Otherwise its gud enuf

[low sorrel]

like the only i use my phone for is social media, videos and calls

[fervent elm]

Im no photografer
Real

[languid nimbus]

Photografer

[fervent elm]

Yed

[languid nimbus]

Is this a typing quirk or a misspelling

[steel stream]

8x optical 🙏

[shell void]

when i take really zoomed photos on my 13 pro max it looks like ai generated slop

smeary and fake looking

[fervent elm]

Both
Intentional but also i type like a monkey on fent

[languid nimbus]

I hate my moto edge 2024 camera can't take pictures of planes to save it's life

[languid nimbus]

I also type quickly.

[fervent elm]

Same for the s24+
30x zoom for no reason cause youre making jack and diddly out

[steel stream]

i gotta figure out how to turn off liquid glass though

[shell void]

i installed it on my apple tv tonight and it's not really appreciable

the top app bar has the transparent background but that's about it

[frank cypress]

yooo got a new project in mind for the break

im so gonna regret it but

[steel stream]

you notice it a little bit when playing content through appleTV but yeah not much

[languid nimbus]

What is it

[frank cypress]

will know if it is good

[shell void]

o i dont use that service

[frank cypress]

https://youtu.be/Rn18jQSi8vg?si=xeJKLw7WhS6nUCub

also this is crazy

[steel stream]

it might still not be rolled out in apps

[frank cypress]

im surprised some boards could hit xmp with that config

[languid nimbus]

More ram than my SSD

240gb

[merry stirrup]

crazy work

[shell void]

are those 64GB dimms 2R or 4R

gotta be 2R

[low sorrel]

floppa would you rather 14 pro for 530 or 15 for 450

[steel stream]

pro

[merry stirrup]

i’d rather a pro max i won’t hold you

[shell void]

i wanna find kits using these

need muh 2x32 high speed

[low sorrel]

thats not an option

[merry stirrup]

then the pro

[low sorrel]

also too big

[merry stirrup]

no such thing

need big phone for big gaming

(i play 0 games on my phone)

[low sorrel]

i don't game on my phone

[merry stirrup]

(it’s for peak brainrot)

[low sorrel]

actually block blast

[thick frost]

because

[livid flame]

Thinking of iPhone 17 and mobile gamers. All those using those side controllers gonna be annoyed when they don’t fit their super sleek new design

[wraith steeple]

We have a shit ton these in my closet

And a couple 5 ¼ ones but the overwhelming majority are 3 ½

[wraith steeple]

Hynix M die, Samsung M die, and Micro A die. Am I reading this right?

[brisk jolt]

samsung does

[wraith steeple]

You've failed me yet again, autocorrect

[shell void]

i think so

[livid flame]

Gotta back up OG Doom and Windows 95 somehow

[zenith fog]

Has anyone submitted their Corsair ram lawsuit claim?

[indigo walrus]

No, but that's because I'm not eligible since it's for USA only.

[pure garnet]

how did this even get through court

[zenith fog]

Lame

[indigo walrus]

slaps vehicle hood "This Corvette can do 0-Mach1 in 0.5 seconds if you strap a jet engine to the back."

And then they conveniently leave out the part about strapping a jet engine to the back.

[teal orbit]

well given the amount of people you see that haven't enabled xmp and never realized, i guess i can see why

[pure garnet]

well when i get $3 back i'll uh

leave it in my paypal account i guess

[zenith fog]

Google

[arctic bronze]

dont cross post

[brisk eagle]

this is the shit

[wraith steeple]

TFW someone so obtuse is suing a corporation over something that's their own fault...... And is gaining traction

[pure garnet]

corsair settled for some reason

feel like that case could’ve gotten dismissed

[wraith steeple]

God damn humanity really is a lost cause in terms of tech

Moral of the story:

Enable your XMP/EXPO profile in the BIOS

It's not hard

In fact booting into the BIOS is like the very first thing that you do when building a fresh system LMFAO

[pure garnet]

my msi board just auto dumps into windows

even on cmos pull, it’s insane

[wraith steeple]

Now is there some lawsuit worthy things to take Corsair in for?

Yes

But this is not one of those reasons

[pure garnet]

corsair lying about xmp in ddr4 days would’ve been valid

[wraith steeple]

Yeah that's something we all agree on

[merry stirrup]

hate to jinx it but some random voltages i punched in are currently the best results that i don’t consider random luck ive had in karhu

[pure garnet]

i’m also stress testing gambling voltages rn

[merry stirrup]

for eight thousand

[pure garnet]

i set my vnnaon to 0.95 bc 1.0 looked lame

back to 34/34 hopium

[merry stirrup]

🙏

[pure garnet]

hopefully you get 8000 retrain stable

[merry stirrup]

i set lower vdd2 than i have ran on my sheet by a little

[pure garnet]

it’s a cool number to see

[merry stirrup]

indeed

ockvm should begin tomorrow i hope to have it up by the next day

[pure garnet]

i need to mess with my tras since the copium am5 board in my cart was actual junk upon further inspection

x870e board with only 2 nvme slots

[merry stirrup]

😭

wild.

my itx z790 board has 3

[pure garnet]

guess what they’re using all the lanes on

[merry stirrup]

usb ports

[pure garnet]

high speed usb ports

[merry stirrup]

LOL

[pure garnet]

and 2 x4 slots

not more usb ports mind you, just faster ones

[merry stirrup]

you’re telling me you don’t want 8 40gbps type c ports?

[merry stirrup]

there’s no way it’s cheaper to go this route

i refuse

[merry stirrup]

fucking usb two

is there a fan in the board what’s with the vent

[pure garnet]

pretty sure those come from the cpu or something

[merry stirrup]

why does it have a fan.

brother what blard is this 😭

[pure garnet]

x870e aorus pro

[merry stirrup]

300 usd board

i had a z590 aorus pro and it was bad but not this bad

[pure garnet]

yeah the second i looked at it harder than a passing glance my interest died immediately

my master is fine but it’s also a $500 board normally

[merry stirrup]

i’m still so lost about the fan

the profit margin must be bonkers

or absolutely nothing

[pure garnet]

need a fan on the 16 phase

[merry stirrup]

both equally terrible

[pure garnet]

fr fr

[merry stirrup]

😭msi doesn’t even have the fan on this board on until 85c

[pure garnet]

idk if my board has a fan or not

[merry stirrup]

vrm is drawing 200w in karhu rn and its at 60c passively cooled

on an itx board with no case fans other than 360 aio

[pure garnet]

oh no gigabyte just puts vents

no fan just vents, it’s a marketing thing

[merry stirrup]

okay to make up for the garbage they give you

just more garbage

[merry stirrup]

7c if the motherboard is facing upward as to aid convection through the vents

but okay this makes more sense i was sonlost

so they have no excuse for no usb cause they have the space

so uhhhhhhh!

[pure garnet]

yeah idk boards waste

[oak vector]

Helo

[merry stirrup]

according to karhu i have a like 97% chance im stable or something

which is bullshit or i’m the unluckiest mf

if karhu 2 ever comes out i’ll be hype but bro has got to be baiting us

[turbid locust]

Do we get a license or do we have to rebuy

bro digital game releases piss me off

“Coming September 16th” and I have to wait till Noon EST

for what? It’s a fkin digital download

[merry stirrup]

he said it would be free

at some point

[turbid locust]

ah

[merry stirrup]

i just joined the discord and it cleared a lot of things up

[pure garnet]

it has a discord?

[merry stirrup]

as of a week ago

[pure garnet]

can you link it

[turbid locust]

Also mfs was able to buy cod at GameStop at midnight in 2009

why can I not click a download button till noon

[merry stirrup]

legally no apparently

karhu himself will kill me

[pure garnet]

damn how much more is the discord license

[merry stirrup]

the discord invites are created by clicking a link that hashes my license email then lets me generate a key

so the invite is tied to my email in a sense

[pure garnet]

oh

i found the link

[merry stirrup]

aka they know me they know my name they know my voice

[merry stirrup]

slay

i thought you meant straight to the discord 💀😭

[pure garnet]

well i’m ngl i thought it was an open server

not like this weird you need a license to join

[merry stirrup]

yeah bro is going to send a bomb yo my house if i invite you

[merry stirrup]

he’s raging against pirates in the first half

[turbid locust]

can you send the link to the way to get an invite or whatever

[merry stirrup]

https://proxy.karhusoftware.com/discord/join

i’m sure bros finland server won’t mind 2 more people on it

[pure garnet]

holy shit that was a read

[turbid locust]

It sent me a link to join but it just takes me nowhere

nvm I can’t read

hour and a half of prime no errors, i’ll continuing heating my room in the morning

250w on an air cooler is a bit too loud overnight for my ears

[turbid locust]

on god

[low sorrel]

Me confused

[pure garnet]

own karhu license -> enter email -> click link in email -> it generates a 1 time use invite for you

[arctic bronze]

-> it takes $100.43 from your bank account and sends it to mine without you knowing

[low sorrel]

What is a karhu

[arctic bronze]

https://tenor.com/view/sly-smile-got-em-smirk-evil-smile-gif-16501976

[sick wadi]

So thats how you afford all your minibike shit lol

[arctic bronze]

dont check your bank account, it may or may not be missing $100.43 from it

[low sorrel]

Also do I get iPhone 14 pro, 15 or 16

They are all +-20 bucks cad from each other

[arctic bronze]

16 bc its newer, longer support and it has newer hardware

[low sorrel]

But no 120hz

[arctic bronze]

thats bc of apple

[low sorrel]

There's a 15 pro guy I've haven't heard from yet

[arctic bronze]

but phones is somthing to where ur better off getting as new as you can to make it last longer, slow phones sucks ass

[low sorrel]

Also how did I manage to go from buying airpods pros 2 because it was on sale to buying an iPhone before I've received the airpods

[brisk jolt]

personally I’d go with 14 pro because of just the 120hz, just my opinion, base 15 and 16 arent anything special. For me, they are just the 14 pro lmao

[sick wadi]

Jokes on you, my bank account has been reading $0.00 for the past month

[low sorrel]

The ecosystem works too well

[brisk jolt]

proof or it didnt happen

heres mine

[low sorrel]

I just received a 1 cent interest payment

Let's go

[arctic bronze]

dudes rich

[low sorrel]

Yeah I think this between the 14 pro and the 16 for me rn

[turbid locust]

Instant regret

Samsung looking ass app icons

[low sorrel]

DONT DISS MY SAMSUNG APP ICONS

THEY LOOK GREAT

That settings Icon looks like ass tho

[turbid locust]

Ok I made them dark mode again and they look better but still

UI not only looks weird but is also just straight up buggy

[arctic bronze]

instant regurt

[turbid locust]

traditional bank savings accounts are a scam lmfao

[low sorrel]

I just use it as a chequing account ngl

There's no fee for transactions between my chequing account

And I have it set up to automatically refill my chequing

[turbid locust]

nah like if you’re not getting at least 3% you’re not even beating inflation

[low sorrel]

Nah like but I can't even invest because I'm not old enough

[turbid locust]

I forget

[low sorrel]

Even though I bought some crypto when I was like 9

(I shoulda bought Bitcoin instead)

[brisk jolt]

we*

[low sorrel]

I had the foresight to put it in crypto

Just the wrong coin

[turbid locust]

I leave as little money in my checking account as possible

basically just enough to pay my cc bills monthly

Went full psycho adhd hyperfixation on finances recently and simply do not like leaving money in places that doesn’t make money

[lone scarab]

its looking worse than that ngl

[turbid locust]

The animations are just…

[lone scarab]

i can have custom icons

good thing

but all the free icon packs are just to change samsung's default apps and not other apps that i download so it ends up looking even worse

[turbid locust]

I ran a completely separate launcher when I was on Android

[low sorrel]

I'm lucky in this in that my brother is a day trader and my sister is a financial advisor

[turbid locust]

professional guessers

[low sorrel]

Rainbolt

[low sorrel]

Idk my sister uses ChatGPT alot for her job apparently

[turbid locust]

even worse

[low sorrel]

Welcome to 2025

[turbid locust]

Not trying to diss your sister but idk how financial “advisors” are even real

[low sorrel]

Idk she works for the bank

[turbid locust]

so she basically works in sales lol

[low sorrel]

From med school to sales :P

[turbid locust]

If you’re a financial advisor for a bank, you’re just telling people how to give the bank money lmao

aka just a sales rep for a bank

[low sorrel]

Can you tell my family is asian

[low sorrel]

Hey she does other things like

I have no clue icl

[turbid locust]

Like the only thing a financial advisor could tell you that isn’t readily available information online is maybe investment advice

which is also just… professional guessing lol

because nobody can really predict the market

[low sorrel]

It's for old people mostly

I think she's looking for a new job

[turbid locust]

Understandable

[low sorrel]

At least you can't diss my other brothers job

[turbid locust]

What’s that

[low sorrel]

Captain for air Canada

[turbid locust]

I can diss Canada

[low sorrel]

Nah diss me

I haven't used any of my brothers air Canada benefits

We get like 90% off flights

[turbid locust]

lol

[low sorrel]

Hotels are expensive

Unironically it's like 30% cheaper for me to take a flight then to book a hotel

[low sorrel]

Also are you drunk yet

[turbid locust]

Wdym

Why would I be drunk at nearly 4am on a Tuesday

[low sorrel]

It's 4am and your still on discord

[turbid locust]

You’re*

idk I fell asleep at 10p and woke up at 2a wide awake

[low sorrel]

Nah it's you own still

[low sorrel]

Go back to sleep

That's only 4 hours

[turbid locust]

What part of wide awake do you not understand

[low sorrel]

Take melatonin

Also phone ain't helping

[turbid locust]

yolo

[low sorrel]

Thoughts?

[turbid locust]

not bad

[low sorrel]

Cad remember

I don't think a 14 pro is worth 150 more then a 13 pro max right

[gloomy vault]

$300 fast deal + meet at your convenience

ask if theres warranty

no? -$30

box?

no? -$30

nvm the photo has a box

[low sorrel]

Sir this is a 3 year old phone

[gloomy vault]

yeah i did that once while trying to get a 2080ti

“is the warranty still active?”

“the damn card is 7 years old”

I just want a sanity check real quick, getting the Legion Pro 5i Intel with RTX 5070 Ti for $1600 is a pretty good price ya?

[low sorrel]

Decent

[stable turret]

i heard its on the latest 14+++ process node.

[low sorrel]

No

Oh sarcasm

[brisk jolt]

the card is as old as a primary sch kid

[brisk jolt]

no

[green marsh]

that is i5-10400, just renamed

[low sorrel]

Setsuna

Help me

I've found a bunch of good deals

And I don't know what to get

[brisk jolt]

I’d get a 13 pro or the 14 pro depending if you want dynamic island

I wouldnt go for the 15 at all
16 only consideration I have is the 3nm process node

[low sorrel]

I found a 14 pro for 450

But the battery is at 88%

[brisk jolt]

13 pro and 14 pro is 5nm and 4nm respectively but like the difference is negligible

[low sorrel]

I also found a 15 for same price

[thick wave]

Battery can be replaced pretty cheap

[low sorrel]

But new battery

[low sorrel]

Hassle

[thick wave]

That’s the only reason I still have my 13

[thick wave]

Hassle to go to a shop ?

[low sorrel]

I would like rather not

[brisk jolt]

13 pro was the go to phone

[thick wave]

I pay 60$ and get a brand new battery so I don’t have to waste another 800$ for a stupid phone

[brisk jolt]

13 pro has better battery life- because the 14 pro has a brighter screen and OSD
If its a 1:1 test 14 pro would come out on top

I’d get the 16 purely for battery life, else its between 13 and 14 pros

[low sorrel]

I would rather not pay 60 bucks a less then a year down the road

[low sorrel]

I didn't finish

15 pro for 560

*all are pro maxes I just forgot to add

[thick wave]

Yea unfortunately it’s pretty hard to find an older model with a decent battery

[low sorrel]

New battery

[brisk jolt]

16 is basically a 15 pro minus the 120hz

[low sorrel]

So basically 13 pro max v 14 pro max v 15 pro max

[low sorrel]

I think it's fair to include the price of a battery change to the 14 and the 13 pro maxes

So then it's 350, 500 and 560

Ok so it's the 13 pro max vs 15 pro max

[placid grove]

And minus one lens

[low sorrel]

I don't take photos

[placid grove]

lol same

I like the 17, probably gonna upgrade from my 15

[low sorrel]

How much you selling the 15

[placid grove]

idk probably 500€

[low sorrel]

And I'm out

[honest harbor]

Is the AMD rising 99950X 3-D better than 7950x3d and 9800x3d

And if I also stream off same pc

[brisk jolt]

for what

just gaming?
9800x3d is fine

[honest harbor]

90% gaming occasionally streaming

[brisk jolt]

9950x3d is same performance just a hybrid for workloads

[brisk jolt]

its no problem, streaming should mainly be off gpu tbh

[honest harbor]

What’s the best power supply for a 5090

I haven’t built a PC in three years. I haven’t been keeping up with what’s good quality.

[low sorrel]

SPL PSU tier list

[brisk jolt]

1000w

[low sorrel]

And get a thousand watt

850w is fine but like... If your spending 2k+ on a GPU...

[honest harbor]

What about motherboards I won’t overclock but I imagine just X850

[low sorrel]

Just get a 1kw

Your not saving that much

[brisk jolt]

B850*

[low sorrel]

[turbid locust]

$10 200W unit from Facebook crackhead

I still can’t get over my phone looking like windows vista now

also settings search is still useless as shit

[pseudo salmon]

Hey guys , do you know if 90 degree header connectors exist for mobos

[vocal plume]

Yes they exist.

[pseudo salmon]

Thanks, nearly lost hope searching for days but finally just found em

https://a.aliexpress.com/_EJm0efC

[vocal plume]

Those arent going to work

Wrong shape and size.

One sec.

You need something like this.

[pseudo salmon]

That's 24pin, I'm looking for the headers, usb, f panel etc

[vocal plume]

Oh

[pseudo salmon]

Would be nice to also have em for rgb and pwm tho lmao

[vocal plume]

Lol

[pseudo salmon]

Those cable connectors on top and bottom of the mobo driving me nuts, can't get a clean aesthetic with em

[distant furnace]

[ruby frigate]

ok all good

[strange ginkgo]

not everything has to be clean and hidden...

i kinda prefer the mad and janky and practical solutions

[turbid locust]

Believe it or not, people can have different preferences than you.

[brisk jolt]

our preferences are having xx90 cards

[turbid locust]

[brisk jolt]

aim.

[gentle urchin]

Make. North Bridges. Great. Again. 👏🏻

[torpid blaze]

Does anyone know what connectors these are

Excluding the pcie

At the top

[devout ridge]

There's a PCIEx1 just below that, and an M.2 to the left of it

I don't see any other connectors in that image

[torpid blaze]

Ah so basically i cant use that for fans

[devout ridge]

No... you cannot use PCIE for fans...
