[topaz veldt]

I told Guilty I wasn't doing this

[pure garnet]

yeah but the heart wants an astral white

and you did just sell that ram to cover it

[topaz veldt]

its true but just to take the cooler off for a block

[shell void]

ehhhhh

[wraith steeple]

I see that the Heatkiller 5090 TUF is in the production phase. Oh man my beloved Heatkiller or DeltaMate. Decisions, Decisions

[topaz veldt]

Yeah m y luck I'd get like SP12

[topaz veldt]

TG being like $500 is kind of wild

[slim solstice]

You have so much ram. I wonder if you have a ram carpet.

[pure garnet]

you’d get a 285k that makes my 265k look good somehow

[topaz veldt]

were you here when I bought like 6 13900Ks?

[shell void]

you so totally need a W890 PC snail, start stocking your piggy bank now

[pure garnet]

i don’t think i was

[topaz veldt]

bought 5 or 6 hoping for something decent..... all duds

[slim solstice]

Why get corei3 when u can afford 6 i9

[topaz veldt]

slush fund got enough room?

[wraith steeple]

It is TBH. Though the 6 ports on the HK block.... NGL that's a huge selling point

[topaz veldt]

Any idea on release?

My issue is the TUF OC is the only one in stock and its $3k now

I got my original TUF OC for like $2800, the non-OC is $1999

[wraith steeple]

Later in Q4 2025 or Q1 2026 of I had to guess

[topaz veldt]

this is too late imho

[wraith steeple]

That's the thing about HK, as much as I love to shill for their products..... They are known for releasing newer blocks for cards that are halfway through them being current gen

[topaz veldt]

Wow... and the 5090 Master ice price is... up

it was like $2700 - 2800, now back to $2999

[shell void]

itll probably be like $4000 for a platform

$2000 cpu, $700-1000 board, $1000 ram

[topaz veldt]

I mean I could

but prob eatx

[wraith steeple]

Optimus is still radio silent. They showed off an Astral Prototype that threw quite a few folks off from an LTT video of all sources

[topaz veldt]

I feel like they aren't interested

I like EK (I know, I know)

[shell void]

yeah the Asus W790 Ace is SSI CEB

[topaz veldt]

but I don't like the EK Astral block

[topaz veldt]

yeah then its new case, setup, blah blah

[shell void]

idk we shall see

[topaz veldt]

If I buy a white 5090 Astral I need sell a 5090 Ice because it wouldn't have a PC to go into

[shell void]

it would be cool if they try to be more aggressive with pricing

[topaz veldt]

W890 would be a big commit

[shell void]

maybe we'd see some normal sized boards if they went for more consumer adoption

[topaz veldt]

Dozens of cores but at what cost, and we know single thread gonna be mid

[shell void]

id like to see how the 1t would be

it's redwood cove+ cores on intel 3 which are basically just raptorlake P cores ported to a better node and optimized

[topaz veldt]

If the P cores are more like RPL than ARL I'd be interested

[shell void]

they can do up to 48 cores per ccd, and they have SMT

[topaz veldt]

I thought they were like 82 core max on cpu

is that threads?

[shell void]

they went up to 128 cores but that's triple ccd

they can do 48c96t in one ccd

[topaz veldt]

ah

how many channel memory?

[merry stirrup]

why are we calling intel compute clusters ccds

[shell void]

quad channel for W890 and eight channel for W890E

[merry stirrup]

dont you dare diss intel that way

[topaz veldt]

hmm

[shell void]

idk if theyll enable MRDIMM support on the cheaper quad channel HEDT cpus

[topaz veldt]

I feel like the (now) HEDT stuff is a bad buy for me

[shell void]

i hope they do, 8800cl36 1.1v is hilarious

[topaz veldt]

For the flip game I bet W890 will be hard to sell

What if there's a high spec 285K sitting in an Amazon order though

[shell void]

youll get a 5.7P 5.1E chip for sure

[topaz veldt]

doubt

then I am stuck with 2 lame 285Ks lol

[cerulean cosmos]

Whatever you do never remove the toys from the server room

[cerulean cosmos]

They get angry

[shell void]

yeah idk who would buy W890 off of you unless you take a big loss

[topaz veldt]

huge loss, ebay style, etc

im already concerned about the $13k I have tied up in GPUs

[shell void]

well if the last two gens are anything to go by it's almost impossible to lose badly when reselling 90s

[topaz veldt]

the prob is those wtf Asus $1999s

[shell void]

even though 4090 blew 3090 away people still continued to pay stupid money for 3090

[topaz veldt]

Like what if they all come to the table with $1999 NIB cards 6 months before 6000 series

and I am stuck holding 4-5 5090s I paid $3k+ for

[shell void]

ive thought about that too, but people were able to sell 4090s for $2200 well after the 5090 launched

and newegg was offering $1600 for trade in xd

[topaz veldt]

Yah but the 4090 TUFs never did like $1400

[shell void]

werent they only like $1600

[topaz veldt]

$1800

[shell void]

i say only but that's half of what we paid for our 5090 master

[topaz veldt]

I only lost like $100 on my TUF OC

[shell void]

idk we'll see, hopefully you dont lose a bunch

[topaz veldt]

Its a gamble

[shell void]

if the stock situation is like the 50 series launch then there'll probably be a window where you can fleece somebody desperate

[topaz veldt]

I just want to lose like $100-200 per lol

OK this is nice

Rather than go to 25 Gbps....

I have 4 VLANs for iSCSI MPIO

let's see what 4 x 10 Gbps does on the storage first, if it goes > 2.2 GB/s then we know 25 Gbps is worth it

[shell void]

is this at the house where you have CONcast cable with like 1100/45Mbps? xd

[topaz veldt]

I have 1000/1000 FiOS here and comacst 2 Gbps/100 or something. Same house. Then in FL I have 1.2 GBps / 60 or something

[shell void]

oh you have dual wan

[topaz veldt]

I am not interested in the LAN speed for WAN speed

yeah dual wan here - my wife and I have separate ISP

[shell void]

well yeah i know, i have 10gb with only 300 down on a good day xd

[shell void]

[topaz veldt]

Yeah I have the all-flash array in a new Cisco C240 M5 (new to me) so I want to see if 25 Gbps works more better

[shell void]

i assumed youd be running dual wan for failover, not segregating ms snail

[topaz veldt]

Its failover and policy based routing

so her subnet goes out the comcast gateway and mine goes out fios, if one goes down they route thru the same

[shell void]

oh cool

she just doesnt deserve modern upload speed i see

[topaz veldt]

She really only just uses teams

whereas I host shit and my server shit is on FIOS

I'll generate kickstart images and shit and shoot them over to the DC, etc.

[shell void]

wendell was crapping on 10Gb in his latest video saying to let it die because 25Gb is affordable and plug and play now

🥀

[topaz veldt]

Yes, basically

But I'll need like 10 NICs and a switch and I am lazy

I am doing 2.2 GB/s with 2-path 10 Gbps MPIO iSCSI

so if I add 2 more links... maybe I don't really need 25 Gbps

[shell void]

four 10gb links? we have 40gbase-t at home

[topaz veldt]

4 x 10 Gbps MPIO is more better than a singel 40 Gbps

due to queuing

If 4 x 10 Gbps MPIO is > 2.2 GB/s benchmark, then I will consider ripping it out for 25 Gbps

2 x 25 Gbps vs 4 x 10 Gbps

[shell void]

eh your mpio setup seems to be working well, id take the lazy route if it was me

[topaz veldt]

yah but i need 12 ports instead of 6

so its just more shit

[shell void]

keep your dual link setup, you dont need more than 17.6Gbps, that's just greedy

[topaz veldt]

lol

if the array doesn't do more with 4 links t hen there's no point

[shell void]

i wonder how much this is going to cost https://techspecs.ui.com/unifi/switching/usw-pro-xg-aggregation?s=us

[merry stirrup]

rgb network switch certainly required

[shell void]

essential

if it only adds cents to the cost then why not, it's cool

[topaz veldt]

prob more than a used arista

[merry stirrup]

real

[shell void]

oh yeah absolutely

bigass switches like this scare me tho

[topaz veldt]

y

[merry stirrup]

if anything that should be piece of mind

look at it bro

if that doesnt look like reliable idk what does

[whole coral]

Yeah that looks nice

[merry stirrup]

big ol box with redudant psu

[teal orbit]

Need

[topaz veldt]

she'll be a screamer but i was able to turn the fans down

[merry stirrup]

yeah with allat i can see

[topaz veldt]

annoyingly the used ones with fans that are "back to front" (what I need) are more $

[merry stirrup]

5 tiny 40mm screamers you cant change out at minimum

[topaz veldt]

They're 40mms but like 4 fans deep too lol

[merry stirrup]

well. probaly wont change out

[whole coral]

QSFP 100G I see. Nice

[merry stirrup]

yeah seen those before

[whole coral]

I assume those are 100G ports

[teal orbit]

Does arista have licensing drama like Brocade, HP, Dell, Cisco

[topaz veldt]

there is no licensing on arista

its why i use them

[merry stirrup]

buy and use

[teal orbit]

Maybe I need some arista switches

[topaz veldt]

well.. there can be some but not for 99.9% of features

[teal orbit]

do they get firmware updates too

[topaz veldt]

you need support (or someone with an enterprise account)

but also switch firmware is like.... never

[bronze mango]

Licensing drama doesn't matter if you don't have a license

[granite dirge]

im not sure should i go original japanese dub or english dub for a 2nd paythrough of yakuza 0

[topaz veldt]

alright now I just have to put another NIC in the flash box

I'm recovering some data off the drives, and then I'll be doing a clean windows install on the onboard NVME Drive

I went to play PS5 today and couch gaming is great, but I immediately missed my C4 and 5070 Ti lol

holy shit, I just kicked off a 14 hour print on my 3d printer.

3D Printers be weird, yo

[novel storm]

is a Zotac GTX 1650 Ryzen 2700x 500 GB SSD With 32 GB RAM full pc, for $270 a good deal?

[edgy laurel]

make it $250 and you've got a deal

(i have no idea how much that old stuff should cost)

[novel storm]

the case is quite ugly, but i could always just swap it out

[frank cypress]

imo no

all ewaste tier nowadays

literally nothing in that pc is worth savalging soooo

[arctic bronze]

i disagree, its not a bad system if you can haggle it down a bit

[edgy laurel]

2700x served me well

[arctic bronze]

a full system for that low of a price is a good deal honestly

[edgy laurel]

2017-2020

[frank cypress]

key word served

as in past tense

[edgy laurel]

I mean yeah if its just for gaming, a used PS5 will perform quite a bit better

[frank cypress]

1650 super is also kinda eughhhhhg

[wheat void]

ugly? irrelevant. as long as fans can move air in and out normally I'd take that kinda price

[arctic bronze]

it can do way more than just game tho, its a pretty killer deal tbh

its not gonna set any records or anything but its not a bad buy

[frank cypress]

I dont think its a killer deal

its mediocre at best

Coherent optics isn’t even used in access networks. Usually meant for long haul only

[fervent elm]

One of those undersea cables?

[shell void]

nahh we need better PON

right now most ISPs are using one XGSPON (10Gbps) uplink to serve 32-128 houses

i think Nokia has showed off 25g, 50g, and 100g pon in demos

[whole coral]

100G PON is Coherent I believe

Distance up to 80 km with the right split ratio

[whole coral]

Yes subsea cables absolutely uses coherent optics

[edgy laurel]

maybe not historically, clearly thats changing. https://www.ciena.com/insights/what-is/what-is-coherent-pon

Coherent optics, a technology that has been widely used in long-haul and metropolitan networks, has now been fine-tuned for access networks like CPON.

[topaz veldt]

[granite dirge]

aparently the postal service has the methods to travel packages at aproximately 3 times the speed of sound ... or their sysytem is drunk,.
BROCKTON MA DISTRIBUTION CENTER
October 2, 2025, 8:02 pm
Arrived at USPS Regional Facility
JACKSONVILLE FL DISTRIBUTION CENTER
October 2, 2025, 7:27 pm
Departed USPS Regional Facility
PHILADELPHIA PA DISTRIBUTION CENTER
October 2, 2025, 4:57 am

traveling to brockton from jacksonville , is aprox, 1150miles, at 35 mins is aprox, 2300mph, which is just under, 3 times the speed of sound...

[brittle trellis]

Have you accounted for timezones?

iirc the listed time is the time where it's scanned

[hoary hatch]

I choose to believe the USPS operates rockets

[turbid locust]

Those states are in the same timezone

[brittle trellis]

welp

[indigo walrus]

Which IMO is really stupid - the time displayed should dynamically adjust to the viewer's local time OR should CLEARLY indicate the EXACT timezone it was scanned from. Alas, "I don't even work for couriers, maaaaaan."

[brittle trellis]

FedEx has the option to choose what time it's displayed in

Something probably caused the Jacksonville tracking update to delay somehow

[hoary hatch]

They should have the option to be competent

[brittle trellis]

Someone forgot to press a button somewhere

[hoary hatch]

Instead FedEx defaults to "our truck took a week long detour in Idaho"

[granite dirge]

the package shoudnt have headed toward that direction of the country, florida is south, PA and MA are in the north east

[indigo walrus]

Unless - plot twist - it's logistically cheaper for the package to take a flight to a central distribution hub first.

[granite dirge]

pa was the hub, it originated in MN

[brittle trellis]

Dont try to apply logic to shipping... Cost drives a lot of things

[granite dirge]

[granite dirge]

kirashi... its not overnight shipping

it started... on 9/30 in MN,

[indigo walrus]

Remove the word "overnight" and the same logic applies. Shipping companies use whatever their computers spit out when it comes to routing.

[granite dirge]

but what does not apply is traveling near 3 times the speed of sound ... which is what has me laughing lol

as well as this is going by the united states postal service, not fedex or ups,

[karmic folio]

[compact tree]

i currently got a gtx 1660 and i am looking to upgrade to a gpu with pcie gen4 (egpu) and looking at the prices i can get a 3060 12gb for 190-200€, 3060 ti 8gb for 200€, 6700xt 12gb for 210€, 3070 8gb for 240€, 6800 16gb for 260€, 6800 for 270€, 4060 8gb for 300€, 5060 for 325€, 9060xt 16gb for 360€, 6800xt 16gb for 350€ which one is the best looking at absolute performance, which one is the best value. I don't use raytracing and the gpu is connected via a usb4 pcie gen4x4 link effectively limited to around 38,5 Gbit/s

[hidden birch]

I'm assuming you have a laptop and are looking for a better graphics card to use with this laptop?

[compact tree]

i have a hp omnibook ultra 14 with a ryzen ai 9 365 and i have ordered a adt ut3g to use as my new egpu dock

to use the full bandwith i need a gpu with pcie gen4 and i am using this chance to upgrade. i will most likely only use the gpu for the next 3-4 years

so i should get something more entry

[shell void]

some goodies in the EA today

[stable turret]

what's the optimal number of case fans that i should i have for my PC? the more the better?

i heard someone said that more fans would result in lower RPM which leads to lower noise level?

or is it a diminishing return or turning point when it comes to the number of case fans?

[devout ridge]

more the better

basically just install as many as your case supports

[stable turret]

i see, i will try it then.

[edgy laurel]

It doesn't work that way, you don't build any PC simply based on number of fans

The case chosen will have fan locations, simply aim to fill them

[stable turret]

yeh i have some empty fan slots

[edgy laurel]

there is no optimal number of fans

[stable turret]

just wondering if i should fill them all up with 120mm or 140mm fans

it currently offers 4 additional 120mm fan slot + 1 additional 140mm fan slot

[edgy laurel]

You tell us. Is everything stayin cool, quiet and performing like it should with what you have? No? Then maybe think about what the problem is. If its simply addin more fans, then there you go.

[stable turret]

2 on the side, 2 on the top and one in the front

[edgy laurel]

What you don't do is just plug in fans and let them do what they want on default curves

[stable turret]

my CPU is reaching 105C while my cooler is not even lukewarm.

[edgy laurel]

Where you put them depends on the style of case

[edgy laurel]

Is it really a case fan problem? Probably not

almost never is, unless you live in a sauna and have a well sealed case

[devout ridge]

that is probably a cooler mounting issue

[stable turret]

thermal paste is already applied properly and its not a mounting error. i think its just simply the IHS heat transfer limitation

[edgy laurel]

fix your cooler mounting

[devout ridge]

if the cooler ain't warm, but your CPU is, your cooler ain't mounted correctly

[stable turret]

i will not try to fix the mouting or bother repasting it

[edgy laurel]

according to who

[stable turret]

since i know as a matter of fact i did them correctly.

[devout ridge]

then enjoy your spicy CPU temps

[edgy laurel]

No offense but if you're in here asking about number of case fans, i'm not sure you're an expert on this lol

[stable turret]

prob just due to poor CPU hardware design which results in the high heat spot

[devout ridge]

That is an issue for some chips, but it ain't enough of an issue to push you to 105c

[edgy laurel]

ya, 105c screams mounting issue or if an AIO, a dead pump

or I guess a not properly configured/plugged in pump

[stable turret]

i mean i can improve the cooling with a 360mm AIO, however just dont bother to upgrade anymore

i will try adding more case fans to see if it improves by a few degrees

[devout ridge]

what kind of cooler do you have now

[edgy laurel]

yeah case fans is never going to be the solution to this

[stable turret]

deepcool assassin III, 20W thermal paste, mounted properly, 5800x, 1.37V, Prime95

at a package power of 180W

i guess thats just the cooling limit from an aircooling system, for a single die processor

nothing much to improve here unless upgrading to a 360mm AIO

[edgy laurel]

5800x (owned one since new) is a spicy chip to cool but 105c is well past normal for even stock

[devout ridge]

yeah a dual tower cooler should not have your CPU running at 105C

[stable turret]

4.45Ghz full core, 1.37V, 180W+ in power

single die, nothing much to improve here with aircooling.

[edgy laurel]

180W seems a bit high.. are you sure?

[stable turret]

100%

[edgy laurel]

then again, prime95..

[devout ridge]

stock settings max drawn power is 142w

[stable turret]

nobody said its stock setting

[devout ridge]

run it at stock and see what temp you're at

[stable turret]

under 80 probably

[edgy laurel]

had to go dig into hwbot and pull up my old 5800x

[devout ridge]

so you're running at less than stock boost speed with your "overclock"?

[stable turret]

yeh i will stay in tune

[edgy laurel]

granted, thats on a 360 but 146W peak in Cinebench

[stable turret]

technically yes

[stable turret]

try prime95 with small FFT

or OCCT AVX512?

[edgy laurel]

no need, that system is 5 years old and lives with Eco mode on now lol

its retired 😆

[stable turret]

then its very unlikely you can push to 180w i think

[edgy laurel]

the point is im' not sure why you'd want to

[stable turret]

maximum full core performance

[devout ridge]

to get back to the original point, more case fans ain't gonna reduce your temps any noticeable amount

[edgy laurel]

are you breaking a 15834 in Cinebench?

[devout ridge]

once airflow gets to a point, you're limited by the cooler itself

[edgy laurel]

at 105c,you're throttling

[stable turret]

no im not, it requires at least some special cooling setup, such as multi phase cooling system or liquid hydrogen

and more importantly, a good bin

[edgy laurel]

no it doesn't.. oh boy

[stable turret]

you dont sound so experienced with overclocking

[edgy laurel]

holy shit ok

[topaz veldt]

lol what crispy mcfish bullshit did I walk into

[stable turret]

i gtg, not here to teach somebody how to properly overclock i guess

[edgy laurel]

HA

[stable turret]

with PBO you have hardcoded thermal limit, and after reaching the set temp you will get thermal throttled.

[topaz veldt]

https://tenor.com/view/the-end-end-waving-bye-goodbye-gif-16464191489898747672

[edgy laurel]

kid's 5800x overheating, asking if he needs more case fans and now he's an overclocking expert

[topaz veldt]

liquid hydrogen bro

[edgy laurel]

I showed him a CO tuned 5800x and hes now saying he can't beat my amateur score without XOC 🤣

[stable turret]

i bypassed PBO completely, and overclocked with a diffferent method. it doesn't thermal throttle at all even reaching 115C. it just shuts the PC off after 116C

[topaz veldt]

LOL

[devout ridge]

what the fuck

[edgy laurel]

Guys clueless

[stable turret]

no throttle at all + a larger thermal headroom

[topaz veldt]

Yes, 115C, no thermal throttle at all

sometimes I run my CPU at 230C

[stable turret]

yeh i could reach 115C with no prob a few days back on 1.43V

however it would shut off my PC soon after

[devout ridge]

i personally run my CPU at 250C so i can get a good sear on my filet mignon

[stable turret]

i love overclocking on my ASUS

[devout ridge]

silicon degradation? never heard of it

[topaz veldt]

that's a good point - I could get nice grill marks on some ahi tuna

[devout ridge]

someone has tried it

if it’s a cold piece of ahi tuna the cooling might not be horrible for 2-3 seconds

[topaz veldt]

Welp, happy Friday everyone - crazy thermal claims wasn't on my bingo card but hey

[devout ridge]

sub ambient cooling cheat code

[edgy laurel]

but hey, maybe he'll solve it with some case fans

[stable turret]

does it look thermal throttle to you?

check out the power as well

too many amateurs here talking about overclocking just after watching a few tech tips

hahahaha.

[topaz veldt]

hahahahahahaha ok

[edgy laurel]

better add some case fans!

[topaz veldt]

Amateurs but you're playing with a nearly stock all core 5800X that runs too hot ggs bro

[stable turret]

you guys all look funny i guess after i posted the image

gotta go

[topaz veldt]

no wait

[stable turret]

still not throtteld at 105C, 180W constant

[edgy laurel]

not a single benchmark in sight

[stable turret]

its not gonna throttle at all even above 110C, with my setup

[topaz veldt]

Bro acts like we don't know what manual OC is

[stable turret]

xd, just accept the truth of what i said i guess

[edgy laurel]

run Cinebench

[stable turret]

didnt claim anything but "it wont throttle with my setup even after reaching above 100C or 110C"

[devout ridge]

we love power sink softwares

[stable turret]

dont change my statement or add anything else

[topaz veldt]

OK newb

[stable turret]

i gotta go and there is no point adding more evidence to support my argument

[devout ridge]

bye!

‘twas quite amusing to experience this

[stable turret]

my suggestion, act a bit more mature, and if you really wanna learn overclocking, go to an actual overclocking community instead of flexing your hardware spec here

it really offers no point

[topaz veldt]

what a narcissist lol - bro how are you so proud about a 4.4 GHz manual OC on a 5800X holy shit

[stable turret]

neither constructive to my original question nor helpful overall to everyone else here

[topaz veldt]

oh ok

Whaaaat a cringer

[edgy laurel]

why is 4.45Ghz all core even impressive

[topaz veldt]

its not

its like 100 MHz

@stable turret please, teach us amateurs about OC

[edgy laurel]

that was such a bizarre interaction

started out as a "hey my cpu is overheating and should I add case fans" and morphed into "i'm an overclocking expert I don't need any help from YOU"

[stable turret]

anything you wanna learn in particular? currently talking to my gf rn so replies might be slow

[stable turret]

its a trash bin

nothing to impress here, just to prove my innocence after the ridicules from you guys

also why are you running an avx512 test on a cpu that can’t do avx512

anything constructive to say? what did you wanna learn?

this is the 2nd time this month someone who’s got like 100mhz out of a cpu acting like a god

[topaz veldt]

I want to learn how our younger generation is so completely fucked

[edgy laurel]

you missed my 5800x Cinebench run that he believes he'd need LN2 to beat. Add that tidbit to the hilarity

[pure garnet]

it booted so it’s stable fr

[pure garnet]

is he using a paper clip as a cooler

[stable turret]

okay, i guess it sums it up pretty well then i guess

[topaz veldt]

Can you post any benchmark you have that shows us your accomplishments?

[edgy laurel]

please

[topaz veldt]

thats a lot of typing for no screen shots

[stable turret]

when your knowledge stands still and grows complacent in a non techy community like this, its almost guaranteed that my overclocking skills are gonna surpass you in any moments. so its not that surprising to see you losing argument against me

and the gap between us is only gonna grow larger everyday since then

[topaz veldt]

yeah so anyway

[stable turret]

though its still possible that you can get as good as where im currently standing now

but not with your current attitude i would say

[edgy laurel]

the hubris is astounding

[pure garnet]

i wish i had the ego this guy does

[topaz veldt]

Bros only posts on Overclocking is about ETH mining

He's not on hwbot, OCN, etc.

[edgy laurel]

so unbelievably proud of an accomplishment without a single ounce of proof

[topaz veldt]

Its a troll

[edgy laurel]

i don't think so, I think he's actually that clueless. learned everything he thinks he's learned in a bubble

and no one has ever told him he's wrong

[topaz veldt]

then why not share a single thing outside of OCCT lol

[pure garnet]

a misconfigured occt test too

[topaz veldt]

cringe af

Not on HWbot?!? Such a poser!

[topaz veldt]

he's a professional OCer

[devout ridge]

this has to be a bit

there's no way anyone is actually that arrogant

[topaz veldt]

If you are going to call everyone amateurs because you run a 4.4 GHz all core 5800X at least submit a benchmark some place

It is - its a troll

[devout ridge]

you see, the key to big OCs is the case fans

[topaz veldt]

I agree

most hardcore OC'ers use cases, and thus case fans

[gentle urchin]

Many such cases

[pure garnet]

i’d like to thank my 5 pack of p12 pros for getting me the world record

i wonder if he's busy juicing his chip to 200w for a -10% uplift in clock speed

[fiery token]

Hello!

I have a HP EliteDesk 800 G1 SFF equipped with i5-4570 CPU, 8 GB DDR3 1600 MHz, and 500 GB HDD. I am wondering what are the possible upgrade paths that I could do with the current specs that I have? I am hoping I can get some recommendations. (Note: I don't have enough budget for a latest generation build so this is my current plan for my system)

[pure garnet]

i would get an ssd and maybe 16gb of ram if it’s cheap but otherwise just save for new hardware

a 4790 isn’t a meaningful upgrade for its cost and you’re stuck with old stuff either way

[frank zealot]

basically nothing.

You could upgrade RAM, put in a SSD and.... that's about it.

Maybe add a 1050 TI or something for graphics power, since those tend to have really weak (and proprietary) PSUs.

But honestly a better bet at this point would be finding a box on FB Marketplace or similar, and spending the 200-300 on a ryzen 3000 or intel 10th gen box.

that would be a huge upgrade

[turbid locust]

What’s a single notable thing you’ve done in overclocking?

[fiery token]

Ok thanks

[frank zealot]

but if it were me, I'd save the upgrade money and start looking for a deal on a newer used box on a marketplace

going from 4th gen to either 10th/11th gen or Ryzen 3000 would be a monstrously huge upgrade

[brisk jolt]

inputting a very simple +100mhz in bios

[turbid locust]

https://tenor.com/view/brain-explosion-gif-24686375

[frank zealot]

I ran a K6-2 266 at 366 when it was still relevant?

[turbid locust]

Back when hardware actually had OC headroom was pretty cool

What was that generation of Intel where you could basically turn an i5 into an i7 by blocking some contact pads on the cpu?

[brisk jolt]

i heard proper OC gave like 30% performance or something which is crazy compared to today’s measly like 10% xd

[turbid locust]

You can barely get 5% out of some CPUs nowadays

[shell void]

it used to be much more than that

[pure garnet]

with some amd chips you used to be able to just unlock cores they fused off

[brisk jolt]

the most i heard was 50% but ofc i cant confirm it

[shell void]

5960x only ran at 3-3.2GHz out of box, and you could run it up to 4.4-4.8GHz depending on cooling and lottery

add on memory and you could easily get more than 50% in games

[turbid locust]

Ram OC is the only form of OC worth putting effort into for daily use nowadays

[arctic bronze]

is it even worth it for x3d cpus?

[turbid locust]

Yeah idk where this misconception came from anyways

[arctic bronze]

I just knew it affected them less

[turbid locust]

You don’t see as much average fps gaines on X3D chips but you still see massive 1% low gains

[arctic bronze]

oh neat

[brisk jolt]

i’d guess it stemmed from 5800x3d and 7800x3d not having much headroom? till they flipped the vcache around which gave it better cooling iirc

https://tenor.com/view/get-rotated-get-rotated-idiot-rotate-rotation-shark-gif-24511062

[arctic bronze]

im on the 7800x3d so thats why I was asking

[turbid locust]

I think it’s probably from where vcache was such an advantage that full ram OC’d vanilla chips weren’t keeping up with stock X3D, that people decided it didn’t matter for X3D cause it would always be better

But that’s just speculation

[brisk jolt]

i think i have a friend who bought china components, 7800x3d with 5600MTs and i think C46 which is diabolically slow

[devout ridge]

5600 CL46 is criminal

[turbid locust]

CL matters less than people think ngl

[devout ridge]

matters for 1% lows

[turbid locust]

CL timing is basically just a binning indicator

[brisk jolt]

but its 5600 at fucking CL46 lmfao

[turbid locust]

lol no

[stable turret]

Make a secondhand $60 degraded trash bin 5800x run noticeably on par with regular 5800x and often better in multi core performance

I use gentoo and Linux from scratch btw

[pure garnet]

“noticeably on par”

[turbid locust]

so your greatest overclocking achievement is stock performance. Got it.

[shell void]

jedec timings, but with just trefi changed to 65535 performed the same as 6000cl30 xmp in my testing xd

[turbid locust]

5600 is kinda rough but not the end of the world

I think I'll take almost 4 GB/s NAS/SAN

[arctic bronze]

ok it finished

I got massacred

[topaz veldt]

Yes but I doubt your NAS was like $6000

so maybe you win

[arctic bronze]

yeah not even close XD

I paid like 1k for it all

[topaz veldt]

ya

[arctic bronze]

and my Hard drives are mixed capacity

bc they was just random drives layin around

1x 4tb
2x 2tb
1x 1tb

then a 250gig gen 3 nvme and a 16gig intel optane (bc it was funny)

[topaz veldt]

the SSD caching doesn't really work, obviously

[arctic bronze]

It helps to a point when adding more movies and shows to my media library

I also have high compression on

[topaz veldt]

compression almost useless on things like h264/h265

modern compression algos, like lz4, on modern CPUs, are almost zero impact though

[arctic bronze]

No i mean for storage

[topaz veldt]

Yes, those are files that it tries to compress

[arctic bronze]

Oh i see, discord didnt update for that last comment

[topaz veldt]

the compression happens at the block level, but an h264 file on disk is already compressed

[arctic bronze]

Yeah, i also have a 5700g with PBO enabled

[topaz veldt]

word

yeah OP nas CPU

I am actually thinking of buying smaller CPUs for my TrueNAS box

[arctic bronze]

Well i use it to host a couple VMs too and i needed the igpu so i can pass the 3060ti thats in it

[hoary hatch]

If I was buying a CPU for my nas I'd probably get 12400

[topaz veldt]

I have intel Gold 6142 x 2 in this

[arctic bronze]

I went amd bc i already had a spare x570 laying around

[topaz veldt]

its way too many cores and 2.6 GHz base freq - good for a hypervisor but storage node eh

[arctic bronze]

Wow nice

[topaz veldt]

I want to go with 6144's I think

[arctic bronze]

Yeah, thats fair

[hoary hatch]

Yeah ours is 5700x just cause we retired AM4 from the desktops

[topaz veldt]

8 cores but 3.6 GHz base

[hoary hatch]

5700x
MPG X570 gaming edge wifi
A750

A 4tb nvme cache drive that never gets used to its full potential so we should really swap it with a 1-2tb from a desktop

[arctic bronze]

Cables are a mess, but thats bc the case has no cable management 😔

But this is my Nas/homelab combo

[green marsh]

move the hard drives to bottom positions, why have them on GPU level

[hoary hatch]

I don't think I have any current config pics of mine

Like I got one with the old gpu

[topaz veldt]

Would anyone be interested in a Unifi 24 port Pro Max 2.5 Gbps switch

[shell void]

free?

[topaz veldt]

no

[hoary hatch]

I'll pay $1

[topaz veldt]

but discounted - I need more ports

[hoary hatch]

Okay you drive a hard bargain 🐌

$5. Final offer

[topaz veldt]

I am thinking of buying the 48 port version

I could buy a 2nd 24 port I suppose

[green marsh]

don't have any newer picture; GPU was replaced since (ASRock A380), the 4xM.2 card is gone, added 10Gbe NIC

[hoary hatch]

"through the magic of buying two of them..."

[topaz veldt]

it would be nice to have a pair in case something happens

[hoary hatch]

Snail you should send all of us one of those for Christmas

Santa snail

[topaz veldt]

lol

Shit actually

I should get a Pro XG 24

8x 2.5 Gbps, 16x 10 Gbase-T, 2x 25G SFP28

[hoary hatch]

I still want a unifi router eventually

[green marsh]

nah, he needs to start distributing this

[hoary hatch]

But my PFSense box is still kicking

[shell void]

you need Pro XG 48 POE

[arctic bronze]

Thats a nice build

[hoary hatch]

Is this a box of cocaine

[topaz veldt]

Oh I see PoE

[green marsh]

his stack of 32GB DDR4 ECC RDIMM modules

[shell void]

bare minimum

you need 32 10gb poe ports

[arctic bronze]

Bc the fans blow there

[hoary hatch]

DDR4? Why would you want ewaste

[topaz veldt]

I literally have nothing 10gbaseT tho

[shell void]

you will soon

new boards are coming with RTL8127

[topaz veldt]

Is my NIC on my Apex 2.5 only or can it do 5 Gbps

[green marsh]

to upgrade all the Xeon X99 systems to 128GB RAM

[shell void]

5 iirc

[topaz veldt]

ah it is

so if I went with a Pro XG jawn I'd get 5 Gbps

[shell void]

2025-26+ boards have realtek 10gb and i imagine that’ll be standard for a while

[brave panther]

5g base t is a wierd ass standard

[shell void]

yeah i feel like nobody used it :p

[topaz veldt]

wtf is Pro HD

This would work

I could move 10 devices off of the Pro Max whatever

get 5/10 + POE

uplink to Arista core @ 10 Gbps

Yeah, this makes the most sense

[shell void]

idk they have too many naming systems

[topaz veldt]

OK Pro HD is 2.5 and Pro XG is 10

[shell void]

pro, pro hd, pro max, pro xgs, pro poe, pro xg poe

[topaz veldt]

hence the X

[shell void]

who can keep track of this

[topaz veldt]

The XG APs have 10 Gbps links while Pro have 2.5

[shell void]

10Gb uplink for my ubiquiti AP that tops out at like 1.6Gbps anyway

[topaz veldt]

right

its why I stuck 2.5

[green marsh]

it's just power hungry unfortunately. I need to decide if i want to restructure away from 2950x/X399/128GB RAM; on one side it will be hard to sell locally (and impossible to ship elsewhere), on other side i will cut a lot of idle power usage if i switch from it. Also 2950x is kinda weak by now

[topaz veldt]

but if I got the XG Pro 10 port I could at least handle 10 Gbps APs and 5 Gbps desktops

This all comes up because I want another 1 Gbps POE port because I am doing a raspi print server in another part of the house

[shell void]

i wonder if we’ll see 640MHz wifi channels with a wifi 7 revision

[topaz veldt]

I want to feel my wifi

[shell void]

wifi 7e or something

[brisk jolt]

iirc wifi8 will just be wifi7 with better range

[shell void]

that’s already a part of wifi 7 if you mean AFC

[topaz veldt]

Dude this is insane

[shell void]

insane cheap or insane overpriced

[topaz veldt]

cheap for someone to start

[shell void]

i feel like it’s hard to use as a starting device tho

[topaz veldt]

well starting 10 gbps

[shell void]

who has 7 SFP NICs in PCs around the house

[topaz veldt]

for labbers i mean

not like... my first house switch

[shell void]

yeah it is cheap for an aggregation switch for someone that has a bunch of other switches already

but it’s kinda useless to someone as a first switch

i think it’s an arby’s day for sure

i didn’t know that DACs can be this long

i thought they were only used as little patch cables

[green marsh]

meanwhile in china https://smarthomescene.com/reviews/tuya-non-waterproof-rain-sensor-review/

[wise bear]

you know you have rain when you suddenly no longer get push notifications

[merry stirrup]

what

oh

its early give me a minute to warm up

[wise bear]

lmao

floppa.com loading

[topaz veldt]

You can also get active dacs

[merry stirrup]

gotta b uy another floppa domain

[topaz veldt]

y

[merry stirrup]

the funsies

[topaz veldt]

i h ad a durian base domain for a while

[merry stirrup]

i dont even remember my og domain lmaoo

it was something off cf

[brave panther]

Iirc you can get mgig cisco switch for less

[brisk jolt]

connecting from the 3rd level

[brave panther]

Its aoc

Not dac

[topaz veldt]

not with support/modern

[brave panther]

C9300 is still supported

[topaz veldt]

you're not walking into Micro Center and getting that

Also not sure you're getting a Cisco 10 Gbps switch for $249

That isn't like 10+ years old

[brave panther]

Merakis are cheap af but they require yearly licensing

[topaz veldt]

Also not $250

8 ports of 10 Gbps SFP+ for $250 new is insane

[brave panther]

Yea not new

[wise bear]

wow guys im so popular danica patrick added me on discord

do you think im gonna get free godaddy credits

[merry stirrup]

i hope so

[rich idol]

Should it be fine to pair a 1080p and 1440p monitor together or will there be some messed up UI scale mumbo jumbo between them?

[merry stirrup]

yes its fine no mumbo jumbo

windows isnt that stupid but it also has no idea how to use redstone

[rich idol]

Neither do I

[merry stirrup]

same bro

shits too fuckin hard

[rich idol]

I dont really know if I want a 1440p monitor so my friend recommended just get one of each, compare them and then return the one I dont like

[brave panther]

Get 1440p 27 inch, perfect size

[rich idol]

Too big

[merry stirrup]

NOT true

i was like you then i got a 27 inch 1440p and man

[rich idol]

I can't fit 2 27 inch screens on my desk

[brave panther]

I use 32 inch 4k one at work and even that isn't too big

[brisk jolt]

anything is possible if you have the balls to

[brave panther]

Stack them vertically

[rich idol]

I found two 25 inch displays, one is 1080 and the other is 1440

Same manufacturer

Their specs are so close the only difference is the resolution and the 1080p one has a USB hub

[brave panther]

How big is your desk

[rich idol]

I dont know exactly and I'm not home rn so I can't measure

Its the same length and width as the ikea Alex desk if I recall correctly

132x58 cm

[storm finch]

Windows terminal experience is pretty fucking shit

this is like.. every other day.

and it takes 1 sec to load the profiles for some reason.

[merry stirrup]

cd there

[rich idol]

Lord flopp

[green marsh]

that is powershell being weird, not terminal

[merry stirrup]

and excute the script like a person who uses the windows powershell

[wise bear]

add .\ at the start of the cmd to execute files

[merry stirrup]

.\script.ps1

cd oh-my-posh

just because its not a 1:1 linux clone doesnt mean its shit

however its pretty shit yeah

[wise bear]

its not bad

[merry stirrup]

its fine i mean you just have cmd and powershell

[wise bear]

& wsl

[storm finch]

id use wsl but afaik IO to the windows drive is pretty shit

[wise bear]

nnnnnnnnnnnooo?..
