idk if zen 2 has ddr5 support on mobile though

[edgy laurel]

can't see how that would be possible

[low sorrel]

Margin of error

[pure garnet]

sounds like bad data and no margin of error yeah

[edgy laurel]

oh, those youtube videos

you know how easy it is to go into the overlay software and write the name of any CPU you want lol

[low sorrel]

Only good for saying a 5090 is better then a 1030

[vapid belfry]

So the 7800x3d is the latest and best amd cpu at the moment?

[low sorrel]

9800x3d

[edgy laurel]

nearly 3 years ago, yes

[vapid belfry]

Youtube videos are good for explaining how an rtx 5070 beats a 4090

In performance

[edgy laurel]

2.5 years ago

[vapid belfry]

https://tenor.com/view/don’t-shoot-me-ministry-gif-12380406165177721215

Ah so we're pretty much due for a new ryzen CPU

[edgy laurel]

next year

[low sorrel]

I think I will stay on AM4 until something breaks or AM6

[pure garnet]

may as well

[low sorrel]

Or Intel pulls something out of their ass

[vapid belfry]

Im kinda in the same boat as you but that bundle is tempting

[pure garnet]

nova lake 👍

[edgy laurel]

current full lineup

is the clue in the room with us?

[vapid belfry]

9800x3d currently best cpu on the market for gaming?

[edgy laurel]

thats why its at the top

[vapid belfry]

Why dont I see the 7600x3d on there?

[edgy laurel]

it was a weird after the fact release, and initially was Microcenter only

[low sorrel]

Guilty do you watch F1

[whole coral]

Well then that’s strange

[edgy laurel]

yes

[pure garnet]

pretty sure it’s still only certain vendors

[low sorrel]

What did you think about Baku

[vapid belfry]

I just started to get into watching f1

[edgy laurel]

damn, haven't watched that one yet

i keep ducking spoilers

[low sorrel]

WATCH QUALI

[topaz veldt]

Duck spoiler

[edgy laurel]

ok ok

[low sorrel]

ALL I WILL SAY

[topaz veldt]

quack

[vapid belfry]

Wonder where the 7600x3d would land on that list Guilty

[edgy laurel]

that was the first picture you could find.. wtf is that lol

[edgy laurel]

right around the 7800x3D

[topaz veldt]

its a subaru e90 E30 M3 RS

[edgy laurel]

it looks like an Evo... or something

[topaz veldt]

its an evo

[low sorrel]

7800x3d -.1%

[vapid belfry]

Ok that hypes me up even more to maybe snatch that bundle

[topaz veldt]

Some day

@edgy laurel ducktail or whaletail?

[low sorrel]

You will need to have a larger then normal chunk of time slotted fyi

Don't make my mistake lol

[heavy mantle]

i have smthn

like

[brisk jolt]

looks like an evo 9

[heavy mantle]

idk is there smthn where you could extend a wii u range, ik how the signal connection works and i am wondering if like the guys at the homebrew comunity i can take note of the range exenderd or smthn

as am in the us, my house the wall is made out of paper and wood, nothing much, so it wouldnt be as hard to have a couple of "nodes" aroudn my house boosting the signal for a bit more latency

oh wait

nvm am shooting too hard on what i want

[vapid belfry]

@edgy laurel Dying Light is running pretty damn smooth now, I don't know if it was turning discords hardware accel back on or what, but something did the trick

And my GPU isnt going past below 200 watts now

[heavy mantle]

i looked a bit deeper and i dont think i can get more ranged as of now

[vapid belfry]

im not too familiar with ebay

[devout ridge]

server is basically any computer you don't directly interact with

a server doesn't have to be "super-powerful"

[torpid blaze]

So any computer can be a server

[devout ridge]

Correct

[torpid blaze]

But its recommended for something your not prioritising?

[devout ridge]

what is recommended

[torpid blaze]

Usually from all these servers that people sell their servers they all rock some crazy specs

[devout ridge]

Not necessarily, there's plenty of low spec servers

[torpid blaze]

The ones that my friends hosted have a ryzen 9 5950 or something or whatever its called

[devout ridge]

Not particularly powerful as far as servers go

[torpid blaze]

Oh whats the real end game

For server pcs

[devout ridge]

depends

[torpid blaze]

Like theres no doubt what a real endgame normal/gaming pc is but in terms of like game server hosting

[devout ridge]

game server hosting it's the 14900KS

[torpid blaze]

Do game servers need gpu or is it completely storage,ram and cpu reliant

[devout ridge]

they need very little GPU, if any

[torpid blaze]

That explains it

I do know they are really ram and storage reliant

[devout ridge]

most game servers don't use much ram or storage

you only really need high spec machines for hosting numerous servers

[torpid blaze]

Ah so i could just get my old ddr3 rust bucket pc to host?

[devout ridge]

mhm

[torpid blaze]

For a singular server atleast

Thats nice i assume a nas/server pc does have its own setting up

Is there like a sort of common guide for starting one of those servers

[devout ridge]

depends on what you want to do exactly

there's numerous ways to go about it

[torpid blaze]

I doubt ill ever use a game hosting server so lets say storage

[devout ridge]

truenas

[torpid blaze]

Do they still use chunky hdds or are there ssd options

These servers from what im seeing have chunky slots

[devout ridge]

depends

help me please

i'd remove any all semblence of Realtek software and drivers and just let Windows drivers handle audio. far more simple

also we dont know what you did either

intel putting in more work than the next guy above

[civic reef]

This is sagging, right?

Am I crazy and hallucinating or is this actually sagging

[devout ridge]

the fan is slightly off kilter

[civic reef]

Asked the guy to send a picture from the PoV of his front panel, so I can make sure

It's an OEM air cooler so not much good hopes for it

"Allied" - The company that also sold the PC

[devout ridge]

also possible the heat pipes got bent a bit during shipping

[civic reef]

Possible

I am currently waiting for the image

If it looks bent, will tell him to contact support

If it's sagging, will tell him to use the manual and remount it

I downloaded the same image twice

Oh well, technically double the clarity

[crude ruin]

Would this be ok? I mean, yeah, I have done my research, and I know there's a bottleneck with that GPU, but only with more GPU heavy tasks, which I do not really perform.:

AMD B550 AM4 ATX, four DIMM slots supporting up to 128 GB DDR4, four full-length PCIe slots

AMD Ryzen R9 5950X

2 TB WD_BLACK SN7100

32 GB DDR4 two 16 GB sticks

RX 580 8 GB

850 Watt 80+ Gold certified Power Supply Unit

Noctua NH-D15

Joyjom open air

HDMI to VGA adapter

USB to PS/2 adapter

[edgy laurel]

for who.. amd? 🤣

[civic reef]

#1106613567966429224

Also 5950X on an RX 580?

[crude ruin]

yes, lol

[edgy laurel]

Is this to buy new? Or do you own this?

[civic reef]

What model power supply is it

[crude ruin]

1st

[edgy laurel]

Then its quite literally terrible

[civic reef]

New as in NEW or used

Because then the PC's value crashes quite badly

[edgy laurel]

Parts are all way too old

[civic reef]

Also why USB to PS/2

[crude ruin]

well, the more used i get the better

[edgy laurel]

What is this PC's purpose

[crude ruin]

only have ps/2 mice and keyboards, theyre good enough

[crude ruin]

working better than my shitty hp laptop

[edgy laurel]

5950x almost has zero reason to be purchased in 2025

[civic reef]

That's...
Do you even know where you're getting these from?

[hoary hatch]

For real frames...

[civic reef]

Isn't it like the price of an AM5 F CPU?

[crude ruin]

*not getting it yet ofc

[edgy laurel]

What are real frames anymore

every frame is generated by code

[pure garnet]

unless you plan on buying anything in like a month we can’t really help with used builds anyway

[crude ruin]

except for cheaperish

[pure garnet]

market is too violate to make any decisions way out

[edgy laurel]

volatile*

[pure garnet]

that too

[edgy laurel]

almost there

[pure garnet]

i let autocorrect take the wheel

[edgy laurel]

its so bad now, i feel its become worse

[pure garnet]

the one in ms word is borderline a hindrance

[edgy laurel]

if its the same engine thats in Outlook, agreed

[pure garnet]

i would assume so

[civic reef]

Doesn't stop me from planning 8 months in advance

And ending up with completely different parts because I got fucked over in both market and salary ✨

[torpid blaze]

That has to be a bottleneck

[crude ruin]

yes, it is

[edgy laurel]

"a bottleneck"

[torpid blaze]

The cpu deserves a better partner

That is a sweet cpu

[edgy laurel]

Guys, in many modern games yes the GPU would be your bottleneck but like.. you understand how this stuff works, right? You'd want the GPU to be the primary bottleneck in games anyway...

[crude ruin]

wellll, i do not play that many modern games except for minecraft, so an rx 580 is more than enough

[torpid blaze]

Im not saying its bad or anything but with that cpu youd think of something nicer

[edgy laurel]

I will vote yes for banning the usage of the word bottleneck until people understand what it means.

[civic reef]

I feel like you can get a better card for not much more money that will last longer in terms of drivers and capability

[civic reef]

I learned what a bottleneck is first hand

[pure garnet]

is the 5950x not dual ccd

[crude ruin]

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, well, no. i need a functional pc, except for that old medion akoya e4200 d stationary one...

[torpid blaze]

Also sick andy samberg profile

[pure garnet]

the other 8 cores are useless for gaming

[civic reef]

i5 4460 & RX 5700 XT

[crude ruin]

perhaps that gtx 1080

[civic reef]

Mind you the i5 was dying

[civic reef]

Both have lost drivers, try for something newer

[torpid blaze]

Definitely if it runs to your liking then thats what matters

[civic reef]

Sorry, who?

[pure garnet]

5700x/rx 6600 would be doable and make more sense

[torpid blaze]

Oh i thought that was your profile

[crude ruin]

would any way be better than my laptop with an i5-8265u and uhd 620 ._.

[torpid blaze]

They look really similar

[torpid blaze]

Thats funny my neighbour is running that rn

[civic reef]

John Krasinski in my profile

[crude ruin]

and my laptop runs cities skylines ii decently at the lowest settings

[edgy laurel]

Anyway, 5 year old light workstation CPU thats outperformed by newer, cheaper 8-core chips in everything but multicore aware production tasks is a silly buy in 2025

[pure garnet]

@shell void https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapcsales/comments/1nosknw/gpu_pny_nvidia_rtx_pro_6000_blackwell_workstation/ i'll buy one if you do

[civic reef]

More commonly known as Jim Halpert

[crude ruin]

hp elitebook 840 g6....

[torpid blaze]

They look awfully similar

[civic reef]

Ion know

[civic reef]

I am not even buying a normal laptop

I am building one

[edgy laurel]

i'm not talking about you

[civic reef]

Briefcase laptop

[torpid blaze]

Framework?

[civic reef]

I know, I just wanted to share my briefcase laptop idea :3

[torpid blaze]

Thats the only popular modular laptop i know of

[civic reef]

Nope, completely made through desktop parts

[torpid blaze]

Thats beautiful

[civic reef]

Housed in a large briefcase

[torpid blaze]

A briefcase laptop sounds fun

What are the specs you plan to slap on it

[civic reef]

Two options

Integrated graphics, or single fanner card

[crude ruin]

mmmmmm... if it wörks it wörks, listen, my best stationary rn runs an athlon ii x4 640 and radeon hd6450 graphics

[torpid blaze]

Nowadays laptops have their own gpu that is modular

[crude ruin]

then i have that pentium 4 willamette one and the pentium 100 mhz one....

[edgy laurel]

What you have / had before has no bearing on if something is a smart buy

[civic reef]

Bottom will be the components, top is the power supply and monitor

[torpid blaze]

What power supply do you plan to use

A chunky battery would be nice too

[civic reef]

Not much options right now except basic SFX

[edgy laurel]

If you're going to buy 5y/o parts, at least get a used 5600x3D/5700x3D/5800x3D if you want to play games. Or hell a 5800x/5700x if it comes to it.

[civic reef]

Though if I can instead use an external gaming laptop power supply, it'd be awesome

[torpid blaze]

I know people sell their scrap laptops because they dont work or have a bad screen

Ive seen people do experiments on those things

Especially those fat msi laptops

[crude ruin]

well, listen to me, a 5950x works, compared to what i have it is a lot, and then i am not a "gamer", i would use my old 16:10 ratio 1050p screen. despite, a 1.2k€ pc that can be upgraded to be better in the future is good enough, and the 5950x is good for years, at least for my needs, maybe not for you.

[civic reef]

Planning to use something like this

But ofcourse fatter

[torpid blaze]

Ngl i thought it would be brown

And more vertical space

[civic reef]

It's supposed to be a cash briefcase

[torpid blaze]

Ah thats fair

[civic reef]

Yeah that's what I am looking for

[torpid blaze]

Thought it was a brown leather briefcase

[civic reef]

Opening it up, and instead of stacks of $100s, it's a Frankenstein laptop

[crude ruin]

I do not require an over the top PC that runs the latest games at ten thousand frames per second, i need something that fits my needs.

[torpid blaze]

I wonder if you can get a good screen for it

Something like a 1080p with high refresh rate will be just fine

[civic reef]

Something compact probably works

[turbid locust]

@topaz veldt I got a haircut

[civic reef]

Although idk how I'll manage most of the cable routing

Unless I put the power supply down with the components

[torpid blaze]

Probably put it under along with an air duct

[edgy laurel]

Alright, point still being missed. I give up. Good luck!

[civic reef]

Also will have to route the HDMI / DP / Whatever cable up to the monitor

I should use an HDMI to thunderbolt convertor to make it as small as possible

[civic reef]

Definitely, mesh filter for the power supply

[edgy laurel]

ok jorj

[torpid blaze]

This reminds me there are really good portable monitors nowadays, maybe make a sort of hinge on the top with it

[civic reef]

Wdym

[crude ruin]

what do you think i run that requires massive single threaded performance and an over the top gpu that will not be utalised to its fullest extent? i am happer with high multithreaded performance with a gpu that runs well enough.

[turbid locust]

what

[torpid blaze]

Those like portable monitors with no stands, you could cut to the right measurements then put a hinge on it @civic reef

[shell void]

wow what a steal

[pure garnet]

rats

[torpid blaze]

The triple screen one is just nasty

Thats it beautiful

[civic reef]

Didn't get your ping sorry

Idk why, not getting Server pings at all

[civic reef]

Oh yeah those small ones

Quite expensive but doable

[civic reef]

Oh I am late to the party

[torpid blaze]

I think a 1080p one near me was around 70$

[civic reef]

Not that cheap at all around me

[edgy laurel]

very, been a thing people have been doing for maybe decades. unlimited examples avaialble through google

[civic reef]

Eitherway yeah I am extremely late to the briefcase laptop idea

Should probably ditch it </3

[torpid blaze]

You can still find other ideas

Imagine uhhh

[civic reef]

No need

[torpid blaze]

Well that was a short lived idea

😔

[civic reef]

I had it since like late 2024,,,,

Oh well, what can one do

[edgy laurel]

why does it matter? Or were you trying to come up with something new?

[torpid blaze]

Something silly and new

[civic reef]

I wanted to try something silly

But it's already been done

[edgy laurel]

also pro tip, usually when trying to come with an idea, its useful to do some basic looking around to see if anyone had done it prior

[civic reef]

Plus I most probably will never have the proper budget

[civic reef]

Yeah that's a good idea

Anyway goodbye for now

[edgy laurel]

Yeah, that would really make it worthwhile..

[frank zealot]

What absolute monster measures shit like this?

[green marsh]

i do have an idea which was done before many times in software space, but there is not really an open source alternative for it. Sadly i like to procrastinate, so it might never happen. Also it is a complicated piece of stuff when designing it right, so that is another problem 😄

[frank zealot]

When you could get the ARC B580 for 250-270 w BF6 that was a pretty sweet deal

[edgy laurel]

sure, but a $9000 RTX Pro? lol

[edgy laurel]

we just had this kinda thing come up the other day. crazy people

[frank zealot]

sure, the game that's worth 0.66% of the card? Totally makes it worthwhile

[pure garnet]

i know why but it sucks that the free copy of bf6 i got was on ea launcher

[edgy laurel]

yeah it only makes sense for them to do that

[frank zealot]

is the MC Website broken?

The intel bundles section is empty

[edgy laurel]

oh you too, i noticed that last night

trying to link the 265k bundle to someone

[merry stirrup]

mmm i want a new cpu

[edgy laurel]

asked me to login but it was still empty

[pure garnet]

285k

you can google the 265k bundle, but you can't browse to it

i really need the tombstone pack pre-order offer ea

[whole coral]

I’m gonna say that this is wild

CAT8 Ethernet cable for this? Lmao

[devout ridge]

cat8 isn't even really a real spec

like when have you ever seen a 25/40g RJ45 port?

[pure garnet]

wait what is microcenter saying

[whole coral]

Mmmm gold plated RJ45 connectors

[edgy laurel]

all you need is the title to know the OP is clueless

[pure garnet]

3 chipsets one board?

[green marsh]

i am stuck at 11 to 12kg loss from the initial weight in mid-march. Hate that i am tuck at this weight for like month or two now

[shell void]

it is a real spec but nobody uses it because nobody has 40g rj45 equipment

[devout ridge]

anything beyond cat6a is just vanity for uninformed consumers

[whole coral]

You will do just fine with CAT6a.

CAT6a is plenty capable

[frank zealot]

that's what the cpu supports

[shell void]

most people should just use unshielded cat 6 for convenience

[devout ridge]

i mean most people won't terminate their own cables, so shielding doesn't matter

[edgy laurel]

guys probably got a 6ft run where 5e will do 10Gb

[merry stirrup]

theyre inlcuding the most buttcheeks ram with these :/

[edgy laurel]

and he's impressed with 900Mb/s

[pure garnet]

that's the point dear floppa

[whole coral]

Also at 40 Gbps I would rather do QSFP+

[pure garnet]

they offload things that don't sell well alone into a well priced bundle

[whole coral]

Better distance too

[devout ridge]

i mean that's your only option

[shell void]

yeah i don’t foresee 25g and 40g base t ever being common

[merry stirrup]

cat 5e will do basically anything a real person would run in their house

i have cat 5e doing out of spec 2.5 gbit and its totally fine

[pure garnet]

cat 5e is all they put into houses by me

[devout ridge]

only thing it might struggle with is long distance 10gb, but basically no one does that with copper

[whole coral]

CAT5E can do 5 Gbps even depending on distance

[green marsh]

it's out of spec, but people did 25-30 meters with 5e at 10gbe

[merry stirrup]

it will reliably do 2.5gbit and i see that being the highest end that a consumer will have their internet for a little while

[edgy laurel]

yeah, thats what i'm saying

[devout ridge]

5/10g is already available in quite a few places

[green marsh]

6ft and 30m is a bit different tho

[merry stirrup]

yes but who is using it seriously for the 5/10g or rather that its just cheap

[whole coral]

I have CAT6 cable connected to my laptop. It’s just fine. Gonna get me through the next 10 years for sure

[merry stirrup]

because anyone with those services gets moderately cheap internet

[devout ridge]

pointless test given it'll vary for every single cable

[edgy laurel]

losing the point of what I was saying I think

its semantics, the OP was a moron, end of story

[merry stirrup]

but yea

[whole coral]

Yeahhhh CAT8 is way overkill and not even a real spec yet

[devout ridge]

buy whatever ethernet you want, as long as it isn't cat7 or cat8

[whole coral]

There’s CAT7 as a spec but again who even needs it atp

[frank zealot]

6 or 6A, both would be fine and indistinguishable from each other for most people

[frank zealot]

For the minimal price diff, if you're doing the work get 6 or 6A

[whole coral]

Agreed

[shell void]

yeah it’s not really worth buying a big spool of cat5e in 2025

[merry stirrup]

i get my 5e for free

[frank zealot]

The cost is in the time and effort.
Not the price of the cable

[shell void]

if you already have it then it’s fine but it’s not much cheaper than cat 6 to buy today

[merry stirrup]

just shows that low spec is fine

[whole coral]

I have CAT5E from the ONT to the router and that’s perfectly fine

[turbid locust]

I want my house wired in cat 9 thanks

[frank zealot]

for 1gbe yes, 5e is plenty.

But for nerds, going forward, 6/6A is better

[whole coral]

Anything beyond the router though and it’s CAT6 CAT6a for me

[topaz veldt]

While a team is off troubleshooting K8s/storage issues and I have to sit around listening... decided to swap my Gateron Beer switches back in for a change.

[shell void]

i need category 15 cable for my variable 150-300Mbps cellular internet connection

[devout ridge]

if you have cat5e, i wouldn't replace it, but if you are looking to buy new ethernet cables, just get 6/6a

[merry stirrup]

also that 2.5gbe switch i bought is indeed 2.5gbe

[whole coral]

This

[turbid locust]

Considering many people still don’t have access to gigabit, cat 6 is more than enough lol

[chilly pike]

these speeds alright?

Main PC Left / Server PC Right

[merry stirrup]

funnily enough my patch cables are 6 but my real ethernet to my switches are 5e

fiber is stupid for APs because you can’t get POE

[edgy laurel]

Are we to assume you're testing a single drive in each screenshot? Which drive? How do we know if its good or not if we can't lookup what the drive is expected to do?

[pure garnet]

wdym the 2 low end nvmes aren't blowing your socks off

[merry stirrup]

i think the one that does 5kmbps is faster than mine

[pure garnet]

damn floppa on the legacy hardware

[outer radish]

Faster storage needed?

[green marsh]

i meant just from bandwidth standpoint. i mean for ages they were doing 802.11n AP's with 100 gigabit NICs, because while n can do 150mbps physical, actual communication speed was usually well bellow 100mbps.

[pure garnet]

i have a 990 pro which is already unc

[merry stirrup]

m450+the samsung gen 4 dirve

i dont think its faster than my samsung g4 but my g4 is also like 500gb

[green marsh]

LOL Wikipedia

[frank zealot]

I've punched cat8 into a shielded connector

JESUS CHRIST WAS IT A NIGHTMARE

[pure garnet]

i should cop a 9950x3d and apex for final fantasy xiv

[shell void]

the real world limit of 320MHz 6GHz wifi is around 2700Mbps so 2.5Gb POE is perfect

[whole coral]

So much shielding on CAT8. Not a surprise at all

[chilly pike]

Crucial P3 Plus 2TB Left / Ortial ON-750-256GB Right

[green marsh]

was just going to post the table, yeah, 2.7Gbps wifi link speed means 2.5Gbps ethernet is an overkill

[frank zealot]

this is such a pain in the ass to work with. I fucking HATE it:

[shell void]

MLO is still basically broken outside of being used for wireless mesh backhaul

not that it matters much, 2.5Gbps is already nuts for wifi

[whole coral]

I’ve seen someone get 3 Gbps on WiFi 7

Although that was in early WiFi 7 devices. Think now you could get faster speeds

[green marsh]

and that will 320MHz, 3200 ns GI will happen only when you are at a location alone, in middle of Alaskan forest, while your uplink is Starlink and your closest neighbor is 15 miles away /s

[shell void]

if MLO works then you can get like 5400Mbps by combining two 320MHz 6GHz channels

i’ve only seen MLO work as wireless mesh backhaul though

[whole coral]

Yeah

[shell void]

i have my wifi speed throttled on purpose because i don’t want phones and other unimportant devices hogging my wan bandwidth xd

[merry stirrup]

300mbit down is life changing

[shell void]

im only running a 20MHz channel on 5GHz

gets me like 125-190Mbps

[turbid locust]

I can pull 600+ down on my phone from my couch, get rekt

[whole coral]

People laugh at me for having 300/300 fiber but like that’s good enough for me right now lol

[pure garnet]

usually the wifi devices don't affect my cabled stuff at all

[turbid locust]

I only have gigabit for game download speeds lol

I was perfectly fine on half gig

[edgy laurel]

you're in the ballpark of whats expected for the Crucial, appears to be working fine. Who knows on the other one, appears to be some generic Gen3 drive. Sequential writes seem really low

[merry stirrup]

i get >gigabit

or whatever the max the device supports thru wifi is

[pure garnet]

i get 500 and no more because my access points are outdated ewaste

[merry stirrup]

the edge will get 1.4gbps down on wifi

[pure garnet]

but i get gigabit wired

[green marsh]

my options are 1200/50 + good cheap TV solution via DOCSIS, or 1000/500 via fiber. For now i stay at 1200/50

[whole coral]

Gotta hope for DOCSIS 4.0

Promises much better upload speeds

[edgy laurel]

my iphones download is bad over 6E 6Ghz, upload demolishes it.

[shell void]

purposefully choosing cable over fiber is nuts to me

[whole coral]

Yeahhh

There’s a limit to coax. I think it’s 5-7 GHz frequency

Attenuation becomes astronomical

[brittle trellis]

Or just get fiber and let the cable network die like it should've 15 years ago

[topaz veldt]

Going copper over fiber is nice in that you can get 2.5 - 10 Gbps over copper now, so you don't need an add-in card

[shell void]

i like copper for lan but i was talking about droid purposefully picking cable internet over FTTH

[whole coral]

Yeah if you have the option for full fiber I would just go for it

[merry stirrup]

another day another dollar

[pure garnet]

do you hear the karhu beep in your sleep yet

[shell void]

i see vdd is not reading properly

[merry stirrup]

vdd is 1.5

[whole coral]

Yeah so at 7 GHz on coax at 100 feet you lose like 80 dB.

[merry stirrup]

no fan so trfc is auto

[pure garnet]

floppa stealing my am5 setup

:\

[merry stirrup]

test speed is just insane tho

[merry stirrup]

robbed

[pure garnet]

that's way faster than my 265k damn

[merry stirrup]

what does it get?

[pure garnet]

like 280

[merry stirrup]

something is wrongggg 😭

even ryzen gets 370

[pure garnet]

my 7800x3d got like 160

[merry stirrup]

am i just not used to 8 core

[merry stirrup]

oh

[whole coral]

Also the copper for coax is like just a single piece of copper inside lol.

[merry stirrup]

turn cache to enabled you silly goose youll get so muhc more test speed

[pure garnet]

looks like 340ish now

[merry stirrup]

seems normal itll go higher over like ~15m

[pure garnet]

i would let it run but im doing homework so

[merry stirrup]

fair

[pure garnet]

later problem

[merry stirrup]

bro has had half the test speed hes supposed to on everything

[pure garnet]

ups sold on my case but i'll get my tv today at least

[merry stirrup]

oooo

[pure garnet]

fedex can get from va to sc overnight just fine but ups can't handle getting from nc to sc

many such cases

[shell void]

yeah coax majorly sucks

[pure garnet]

yo i got 30 days of fubo with my tv

[shell void]

FUBO

[pure garnet]

idk what fubo is but that's fire

apparently it's cable tv but not cable

[whole coral]

Also if water gets into coax it’s trashed at higher frequencies

Also craftsmanship is even more important

[pure garnet]

holy moly @shell void

[hoary hatch]

FAST

(free ad supported tv)

[pure garnet]

doesn't look free

looks like $75 a month

[hoary hatch]

Oh

Maybe I have fubo confused with tubi

[pure garnet]

prolly

[hoary hatch]

Okay tubi is a FAST platform

[pure garnet]

my isp does the same thing as fubo but we pay like $5/month for it

[shell void]

you totally want fubo latino tv

[pure garnet]

instead of $85

the fuck am i doing with that twin

[merry stirrup]

i was reading that i was lost

but its cheap might have to learn spanish for that

[hoary hatch]

Fubo is one of those digital cables? A la YouTube TV or sling TV?

[pure garnet]

looks like it

[pure garnet]

watching fubo latino tv while i stress test ram

[merry stirrup]

🔥

[pure garnet]

it was a good run with the crackle button tv remote

[green marsh]

it's a financial decision. I share the web live TV/archive service with my mom (who lives 150km away). So i could either pay 35 euros for 1200/100 + TV channels from one ISP, or 21 euros for the TV channels alone from one provider + 32 euros for 1000/500 fiber (or 40 euros with fixed IPv4).

I might still connect the fiber, but for now i am not hosting anything at home i would need that much on internet, so i stay at current ISP

[green marsh]

the 21 euro package here includes normal HBO & HBO Max (155+ channels)

[shell void]

ah fair 35 for 1100/50 cable + tv isn’t bad

for me it was $120 for that with no tv

[green marsh]

can't remember if i got 1000/60 or 1200/100, would have to check, but yeah, for now it is just not that relevant to me to get more up for now. Maybe once my mom passes away and i don't need the TV via web, i might drop them and switch ISPs

[green marsh]

2500/150 from them is not available yet at my location

[devout ridge]

no symmetrical plans is criminal

[green marsh]

the other ISP

[low sorrel]

No

[pure garnet]

why does ipv4 cost more

[green marsh]

these are home internet plans. You can have symmetrical in business plans 😄

[devout ridge]

home internet plans should be symmetrical too

[green marsh]

cause IPv4 is scarce resource LOL

[pure garnet]

tell that to my isp

we still don't do ipv6 at all

[hoary hatch]

I will write them a strongly worded letter

[green marsh]

all ISPs here are now IPv6 by default

[shell void]

i’ve managed to fenangle my 150-300/20 5g home from verizon down to $40/mo and they give me an ipv4 address

[hoary hatch]

Fax. I got symmetric 2150Mbps FTTH

[shell void]

it could be worse but i’m looking forward to fiber

supposedly there’s a company planning to do it in my city and they offer 2/2

[fervent elm]

We're getting fiber here
Going from 8/8 meg to maybe 100
Unless i go starlink and 250

[green marsh]

i could actually save that one time 101 euro fee for IPv4 address, but that would require me to use their TV service, which is bad (like not the important channels). That is because their IPTV requires IPv4 direct link, so they waive the fee in that case (LOL)

[shell void]

i am instantaneously getting 2 gig when i can

and then i’m recording all of my game clips at 150Mbps AV1

[green marsh]

isn't starlink better by then ?

[edgy laurel]

thats so silly. defeating the purpose and WELL past the point of diminishing returns for bitrate

[shell void]

similar speed but this 5g home is lower latency and i get a dedicated ip address

[hoary hatch]

I'd think 5G has a latency advantage

[pure garnet]

[hoary hatch]

He beat me to it

[shell void]

150Mbps isn’t unreasonable for 2160p120fps

bluray is like 45-75Mbps for 24fps

[edgy laurel]

But what is the purpose of the clips.. sharing on Discord? Its just making them huge for no reason

[fervent elm]

Its 100 ish a month
350 up and down is nice but 2x to go from 250 is eh

[edgy laurel]

the benefit of better codecs is not having to rely on stupid high bitrates to maintain visual parity with the source

[green marsh]

here it is 35 euros for lite and 50 euros for normal starlink

[fervent elm]

My info might be out of date on the price

[pure garnet]

we pay $75/mo for 1gb sym + cable + phone

[shell void]

starlink is cgnat so i’d always choose verizon 5g home over it

dedicated static ipv4 >>>>>

[green marsh]

i mean starlink would be superior to mom's 15/3 VDSL, but they don't really need higher speeds really, and it would be hard for me to justify $$$ to them 😄

[fervent elm]

Here its 80$ for lite or 120$ for full
Usd lol

My grandparents want their landlime and cable tv tho so 8/8 dsl it is

[edgy laurel]

@frank zealot guy's bracket is fully adjustable with a screw...

[shell void]

that’s the same as it will be here

i think anyway

maybe a bit more after the early discount expires and paying for a static ip

Unfortunately its h770 for reasons unknown

[hoary hatch]

Do they also make a "compatible" case for it

[green marsh]

no, not Dell. Shuttle

[fervent elm]

And backside connectors
Just a weird ass board all around

[fervent elm]

Lol

[merry stirrup]

someones ups at work just died

[green marsh]

Shuttle did this before it was cool

[merry stirrup]

i would like a shuttle computer i wont lie

jst too spensiv

their current one

which is not that current, but still:

For Intel Core and Xeon CPUs of Gen 10 and 11 (LGA1200)
Up to 128 GB of DDR4 memory, also with ECC

[merry stirrup]

yeah their recent ones leave something to be desired we know that from dawid

bitfenix prodigy is still on of my fav cases i wont lie

[green marsh]

their slim N100 one has COM ports for some reason

[merry stirrup]

sometimes its useful i need a serial to usb adaptor cause i dont have native serial to talk to my ch9329

[frank cypress]

huh neat

[merry stirrup]

this is awesome

dedicated kvm fpanel

[fervent elm]

There was an asus 10th gen board that had all the legacy connectors

the Core i7-1355U based one is even weirder port selection

[merry stirrup]

euugghhh vga

[green marsh]

system with DDR5 up to 96GB RAM... and VGA

[civic reef]

VGA.. In a modern system?

DVI sure, but VGA?

Video Graphics Array?

[green marsh]

yep

[merry stirrup]

dvi is worse imo but

[green marsh]

DVI can be VGA

[civic reef]

It carries higher Hz and resolutions iirc

[merry stirrup]

yes but the liklihood of running into a monitor that doesnt have vga but has dvi is low

[topaz veldt]

womp

[merry stirrup]

playing with ht on idk what this chip does with that

oh well its dropping to 1.23v thats why

[topaz veldt]

But... then you're testing in cache...

[merry stirrup]

listen man i listen to the creator of karhu and he says this is better

but at the same time your cache is not 30 gigabytes

[topaz veldt]

no but it fills and spills

my cache is like 144MB or something

[merry stirrup]

yeah theres no memory workload where this wont happen

[topaz veldt]

w/o cache

You can tell there is less system load though, webpages/etc. are as if nothing is running

[merry stirrup]

w/cache?

[topaz veldt]

yes

[merry stirrup]

i dont agree with you lol

[topaz veldt]

That's fine

but my system is as if karhu isn't even running right n ow

[edgy laurel]

no, too busy

[topaz veldt]

ah word - we had an outage today brought on by other peoples bad design so I just sit on calls all day

[slim pebble]

What’s the real world performance uplift that you get from a good Memory tune?

[merry stirrup]

what's real world

[topaz veldt]

whats good memory tune

In my general testing, this memory tune on this system yields me like 10 - 15 fps in Warzone

vs 6000 CL26 EXPO

but this is 8000 CL32 and tedious af

There's new beta bios for my x870e apex that people are raving about

[slim pebble]

This is why I paid for the CL26 6000, I don’t have the time for instability or drama. 😂

[pure garnet]

i need to pickup a 6000c26 kit to mess with one day

[slim pebble]

What features are in the new BIOS?

[topaz veldt]

agesa

[topaz veldt]

yay

[slim pebble]

I do kind of miss my x870e, but I’m not looking forward to reinstalling it when it comes back from ASUS though.

[topaz veldt]

I don't think there's a shittier setup to replace a mobo than mine lol

[slim pebble]

Plus, the x670e has an extra gen 5 SSD to CPU lanes

[slim pebble]

I have all those fittings in black 😆

[merry stirrup]

barely a new yc pb

[edgy laurel]

new pb is new pb

[thick frost]

is there any modern laptop that has this rich of io (“modern” as if 6 years old isn’t still pretty modern lol)

[wise bear]

Not really, but you can get hubs!

[merry stirrup]

3 usb a and 2 video outs

[thick frost]

Dongles are cringe

[merry stirrup]

im sure modern laptops exist with that

[thick frost]

3 usb a, mini dp, hdmi, thunderbolt, Ethernet, SD card reader

[merry stirrup]

im not gonna hold you thats not that crazy

i think what you wouldnt find is the mini dp on modern laptops but the rest im sure one laptop exists with all those things

[thick frost]

Probably but, it’s just not that common

[merry stirrup]

phased out by type c with dp alt

[thick frost]

Fair, wonder what this thunderbolt 3 port can realistically do,

[gentle gale]

this is a gaming laptop so probably the legion lineup, omen max, strix/strix scar, xmg neo

[thick frost]

Only from the greatest of gaming laptop brands lol

[gentle gale]

or just like.. any laptop with 3 usb a and a tb/usb4 connection

[edgy laurel]

a lot

[edgy laurel]

Thunderbolt has a million possibilities with PCIe access

[thick frost]

don’t get me started

Competent machine tbh

just older

i just cant cool any higher for stress testing

6.3in wprime and lighter stuff

yea

my bad bclked to 5.78/4.68

lapping cpu/ihs will help a bunch. i think im going to do a second go at the thermal paste polishing

now my minipc gets to sit and encode 1 still frame as hard as it can

[edgy laurel]

its just giving you a range now? lol

i don't watch an FP

i need to remember to put the race on later. can i watch the quali highlights?

i have F1TV too

[low sorrel]

4k or 1080p

[edgy laurel]

uhh

i'm not sure, i signed up 2-3 years ago

[low sorrel]

trust me you want to watch the full quali

better then the race imo

[edgy laurel]

but RTX video super res and hdr work in the player now

so it looks pretty good

[low sorrel]

oooo

[merry stirrup]

vsr so good guilty thank you for telling me about that

i heard about it when it came out and promptly forgot when i got an amd gpu

[low sorrel]

forgot about VSR

[edgy laurel]

dude its great. i don't notice how great until it stops working

[merry stirrup]

fr

[edgy laurel]

for 4K users especially

[merry stirrup]

i watch 1080p youtube videos on my 1440p primary without being in utter disgust

its still not perfect 1440p but its a lot better

[edgy laurel]

yeah, fantastic feature.

one of the things people don't think about when doing amd vs. nvidia.

there is more to it than just raster fps performance, its a whole package

[low sorrel]

I was never able to get it working when I was using firefox

[edgy laurel]

firefox moment..?

[low sorrel]

maybe

fun fact if you want to screen share f1 tv to your friend you have to turn off hardware accel

[edgy laurel]

i wanna say AMD actually has a feature like this.. but i think its more limited

i've even got VSR workign inside MPC-HC

so playing back local 1080p content it'll upscale in the player

[pure garnet]

dolby vision at 350 nits is quite an experience

it will be disabled

[low sorrel]

what is mpc hc

[edgy laurel]

yeah, its militant about anything capturing it. can't even screenshot with windows

also i have the base subscription, not premium

[jaunty horizon]

Midi

[topaz veldt]

like what

[edgy laurel]

for ages, and maybe it still does, it couldn't handle subtitles in HDR.. at all

[topaz veldt]

oh, i dunno

[edgy laurel]

they'd be black and you couldn't read them. it was a known bug for ages

[jaunty horizon]

Is there an extension for midi for vlc?

[edgy laurel]

it seems it can play them natively? https://wiki.videolan.org/Midi/

[topaz veldt]

midi files lol

[edgy laurel]

oh, you need a "soundfont" file for it to pull sounds from

there are links there to get one

[jaunty horizon]

Oooh i see

[topaz veldt]

but also... can we talk about... midi?

[low sorrel]

also gulity how do you manage to avoid spoilers on f1

[jaunty horizon]

Midi’s are fun

[edgy laurel]

my experience with midi is very lacking, so I probably cannot

[low sorrel]

I open any social media and im instantly spoiled

[edgy laurel]

yes, means basically staying off twitter or being linked tiktok videos

[topaz veldt]

you mean you have moved on past 1994?

even youtube and reddit is an instant spoiler for me

[edgy laurel]

i imagine its still widely used or things similar in various music production fields

[merry stirrup]

idk if it worked in web

[merry stirrup]

the rtx feature set is worth the typical 50$ premium

[edgy laurel]

I'd certainly say so

[low sorrel]

DLSS is nice

FSR 4 is pretty good but the support isn't as good

[merry stirrup]

rtx as a whole is nice

[merry stirrup]

is it in more than 20 games yet

[edgy laurel]

its so funny. this server back in 2021 or so was so anti-Nvidia. Every time a build link was posted, the first message was always "Why not AMD"

[heavy mantle]

[merry stirrup]

dissing the cute cats

[low sorrel]

floppa you can't tell me this is cute

[merry stirrup]

guilty needs a caracal

[merry stirrup]

those are terrifying

[edgy laurel]

I know there are things you can do for it, involves multiple injections over a few months

[wise bear]

wrinkly babyyyyyy

[low sorrel]

no no no

[heavy mantle]

holy this thing exsists

[merry stirrup]

some cats have a mutation that removes the enzyme you’re allergic cause iirc it’s something in their saliva

[low sorrel]

also peyton when RoN

[edgy laurel]

yeah I should really look more into this.

[wise bear]

uhhhh idk maybe later this week or weekend i haven't been feeling very shootery

[edgy laurel]

I truly do want a cat. Shame that rescuing is probably out of the question

[merry stirrup]

So, I just tossed an email at the bosses, to see if they object to me building the incoming IT Manager a new PC.

the existing one is 5/6 years old, so upgrading isn't the worst plan.

Intel 265K/32GB Bundle @ Microcenter
Intel B580 GPU

[edgy laurel]

what does an IT manager need with a B580

or a dGPU at all

[low sorrel]

let him play games at work

[merry stirrup]

i wish work would allow me to build rigs

i’d happily build 200 computers for everyone here

[frank zealot]

She's also a Software Dev, and our remote access software does play a lot better with a dGPU

[frank zealot]

fuck no, do not

[heavy mantle]

let him

[merry stirrup]

it would give me more to do

[heavy mantle]

he would get a popsicle for every build he did

[low sorrel]

can you embeezle me one

[merry stirrup]

yeah

[frank zealot]

yes, but it will also make you personally responsible for a lotta shit

[low sorrel]

^

[merry stirrup]

i’m confident in my puter

[arctic bronze]

Would be fun

[merry stirrup]

i’m already responsible for all the problems with the computers at work lol

[frank zealot]

I build one-off PCs when someone at work can justify needing one.
Otherwise it's all off the shelf business or OEM stuff

There are... 2? 3? PCs at work I've built. That's it.

[merry stirrup]

we have hp exclusivity contract anyways

[frank zealot]

One of the PCs I built is in Colorado lol

[heavy mantle]

oh is that the 8700k you have in it too?

[merry stirrup]

no it’s just an 8700 and i don’t use that at work anymore

[pure garnet]

i’m 2/2 but i work at a mom and pop so they’d be problem anyway

[heavy mantle]

ah

[frank zealot]

I was on an i7 8700, but that got retired, now I'm on a crappy dell 10700

If I replace the IT Manager's PC, I'll be able to stick it on my desk, and get several useful upgrades out of it

[low sorrel]

also floppa am i smart I accidentally bid on a iphone 15 pro thats at&t locked

im canadian

why is no one bidding

[heavy mantle]

most of the comouters we have here are mostly 12700s in dell oems ofc

[frank zealot]

I'll tell you, AT&T has been harassing me with adds non stop

I was listening to the WAN show the other day, and every single fucking ad was AT&T it was annoying as shit

[heavy mantle]

i used to have atnt for my home network before but they where very unreliable and had outages so much but once you try gfiber its hard to go back

[turbid locust]

AT&T unlocks iPhones automatically once they’re paid off. You may be buying a stolen phone lmfao.

[low sorrel]

dude the IMEI was on the page i was just blind

it's clean but it's carrier locked for 2 month until it's paid off

[heavy mantle]

so all the cricket mobile iphones out there are stolen😶

[low sorrel]

what if i just don't buy it

[heavy mantle]

also cant you unlock any phone if you pay the provider a sum of money todo so?

[turbid locust]

Where the fuck did I say cricket, water?

[low sorrel]

because i don't have my payment info connected to my ebay account i think

what are they gonna do? ban me?

[heavy mantle]

well assumptions as of any random phone line provider not just cricket itself

[vale cosmos]

there is a way to cancel a bid

[low sorrel]

i don't think it's stolen cuz they have a box https://www.ebay.ca/itm/267408355286?mkpid=0&emsid=e11000.m168041.l183741&ch=osgood&euid=d510e8753636401bb7961c1077386b60&bu=44863523240&exe=0&ext=0&osub=-1~1&crd=20250923192836&segname=11000

[low sorrel]

only for one hour after

i didn't realize until later

[merry stirrup]

we are back ocing

[vale cosmos]

hmm, delete the account then ezpz

[merry stirrup]

i have a 13500

[low sorrel]

uhhhh

nuh uh

[edgy laurel]

got you all beat with this monster

[merry stirrup]

lol

[low sorrel]

fuck you can't because i have an open bid

[merry stirrup]

least you also have 16gb ram

although 16gb ram is of my own choice cause i can alwyas go to 32

[edgy laurel]

and i'm using every bit of it

[merry stirrup]

i can also throw a gpu in here

simply no need at work

[vale cosmos]

tragic, i guess you get stolen iphone now

[edgy laurel]

also it says "RAID" for my drive.. its not really

weird Optane things

[merry stirrup]

optane?

i was thinkin that im huge brain

[low sorrel]

hey i checked the imei it isn't blacklisted

i mean my current phone is probably stolen

[merry stirrup]

yeah a lot of hp laptops we have a twork came with optane for some reason

[low sorrel]

do people still use optane?

[merry stirrup]

yes

12/13th gen laptops from hp shipped with optane drives at the very least

[heavy mantle]

laptop user i presume?

[edgy laurel]

huh, user pinned content

[heavy mantle]

yeah and also tiger lake too

[edgy laurel]

can I prioritize certain things to stay on the optane side? thats interesting

gonna play with that

[merry stirrup]

slightly faster work computer lets go

[edgy laurel]

oh, i must have lol

[merry stirrup]

another pb

[heavy mantle]

please put task manger there

[shell void]

once again the Intel Arc team that has a penny budget and a handful of employees is doing something faster and better than Radeon

[merry stirrup]

XeLL retiming?

like uhh nvidia ULSS?

[low sorrel]

is it limited to arc cards?

[merry stirrup]

assume so, prolly not xess 2 tho

[shell void]

yeah it probably is limited to Arc GPUs

[low sorrel]

C770 when

[merry stirrup]

never

i think capture card oc is always the play

[wise bear]

how would one oc a capture card

[merry stirrup]

ocing thru a capture card

[wise bear]

no i know

[merry stirrup]

you would force it to input and output higher than off icially supported

[wise bear]

replace the crystal with something faster

[low sorrel]

holy shit peyton

why do you have so many hours on games

[wise bear]

its a 12 year old account

I also spent A LOT of time in fallout 4 building settlements

[low sorrel]

i mean my account is 9 years old

ok never mind i can't talk i just looked my hours

don't throw stones in a glass house

[wise bear]

I'm sad that standalone dcs doesn't log multiplayer hours

I'm sure I have at least 5000+ hours in that

[low sorrel]

wait that 1.1k hours is just single player???

[wise bear]

in what game

[low sorrel]

dcs

[wise bear]

OH I FORGOT ABOUT THAT

yeah no that was multiplayer

[low sorrel]

good

this is why VTOL VR > DCS

[wise bear]

dcs standalone (non-steam) has rewards points & module trials and a better update server (tor vs steam)

but it doesn't log hours in multiplayer

[frank zealot]

And the boss said "Build the PC"

[low sorrel]

hey peyton do you have a VR headset

[wise bear]

no

[merry stirrup]

best day evar

[low sorrel]

aww i was gonna gift you vtol vr if you teach me dcs
