pure garnet
#

i cleaned off the stuff on the back so it wasn’t burnt i guess

just degraded it with the vddio incident

#

new chip boots 8000 with 1.35v vddio so i’m happy with that

#

now i can justify an apex

merry stirrup
#

merry stirrup
#

wonder if a gene would be any cheaper

#

although not full atx so kinda L

pure garnet
#

i'd rather have an apex over a gene i won't hold u

#

mpower is cool but mpower is also <$350

merry stirrup
#

i think everyone would but if i could get a gene for idk 400$ id do that over a 700$ apex

pure garnet
merry stirrup

i wonder if theres any mpowers with b850e chipsets still

pure garnet

what site is that

merry stirrup

pure garnet

i gotta do that

merry stirrup

i don’t imagine the businesses that buy them in bulk care about overclocking

merry stirrup

Also, you get to charge more for unlocked if your base is locked

pure garnet

well, fuck, now i need to replace my keyboard

merry stirrup
frank zealot

It took me at least 60 extra keystrokes to type these two lines correctly

merry stirrup

so it dont make sense to me

frank zealot
merry stirrup
#

yes i get that im not braindead

#

why does a business do anything? money

frank zealot
#

if the 265 is base?
265K Costs more

merry stirrup
#

this is generally not true in the real world though

frank zealot
#

also lets them bin silicon more

merry stirrup
#

non k skus are generally more expensive

#

probably not for OEM, but for normal people yes

frank zealot
#

the non-k are less common in the retail channel (outside of lower-end chips)

#

ie: MC doesn't even carry non-k if they have the k typically

merry stirrup
#

respectfully i understand

#

cheaper chips would be cool though

frank zealot

it would

#

ohhhh, here's a keyboard i'm gonna trust:

frank zealot

Thanks, I hate it:

merry stirrup
#

people unironically buy those at work

#

terrible pieces of shit. the keypresses are so hard to initialize

frank zealot
#

do you tell them that they should feel bad about their choices?

merry stirrup
#

i tell them that their keyboard sucks yes

#

"do you want a new keyboard? this one kinda sucks"

jaunty horizon

i still spread the Ajazz propaganda 🙏
best keyboards imo

merry stirrup
#

and then theyre like "oh actually i picked that one out" okay so youre a masochist

#

i know it doesnt really matter but idk it shouldnt be hard to push buttons on a keyboard

frank zealot
#

people don't know how keyboards work

#

users here think that tactile switches click too loud

merry stirrup

😭

frank zealot

no, that "click" is you slamming the keycap into the keyboard surface

all the other pads in the area are also vcore

not touching anything so its fine

that pin actually decides if 8000 is stable or not

he went through 23 cpus to get a 5.6 static sample

merry stirrup

yeah bro just return or rma the cpu if you don’t get a 1/200 god bin

pure garnet
#

he actually did that

#

he says he binned 23 CPUs to get his

shell void
#

i would only return if i had an especially poor sample

merry stirrup
#

yeah somethign that cant do like 6k or something

shell void
#

my 14900K is exceptionally average and my 9800X3D is good

pure garnet
#

if mine couldn’t do 6400 at all i might’ve returned and tried amazon

#

but 6400 1.3v is better than some chips so i’m okay with that

#

middle of the road bin vs garbage like my 7800x3d

merry stirrup
#

why did he send me 2 sets of antennas

pure garnet

should i borrow my sisters itx board and try and send 8000 on the 7800xmelteD before i ebay it

zen 7???

ain't no way bros gonna use it for like 5 years

frank zealot

We already know that Z6 is gonna be on AM5

What's the over/under on Z7 sticking to AM5 still?

shell void
#

i think it’s unlikely

low sorrel
#

5:1 odds against

frank zealot
#

If I were betting, I'd say it'll revolve around DDR6 hitting first.

I don't think AM6 will be a DDR5 platform

#

and I don't think AMD wants a LGA1700 "mixed ram" bullshit platform

#

(but maybe they will anyways?)

low sorrel
young void
frank zealot
#

but that's gonna be kinda late for AM6

unless AMD waits till late 2028, or even 2029

brave panther
frank zealot
#

Zen 6 is probably gonna be fall 2026

So, unless Zen 7 is late 2028 or later?

#

And hopefully the launch is better than Zen 5's went >.>

Yeeaahh no.
It's really just:

  • The hardware itself is not going to last long (by design most of the time.)
  • The networks you use will eventually change and render most of those phones useless on them.
  • Software support only lasts for as long as the phone maker intends to commit to.
  • Most people will not find it worth it to hold onto a phone for too long and that's not counting only the people who buy flagship models every time.

tmobile is dropping everything below 5g for consumers which is pretty based

Then any other option... Well, it's going to be a conundrum because the budget needs to stay below $350 or so, especially fully unlocked.

sprint's network was flaky AF, but TMO has been great

I mean as far as their ping and service goes.
Aww well, maybe it's just a Tampa skill issue then. Lmao.

verizon's midband 5g that covers most areas for them is pretty slow in comparison to what you can get from tmobile

random flame
#

That I do know.

#

Not that it's bad at least.

shell void
#

i get like 120Mbps on my phone most of the time if im outside

random flame
#

It's also a good speedup for us 4G users, so it's doable.

#

However, Verizon's advantage over everyone else is really just the coverage.

rare prawn

#

They're everywhere across the country in terms of that, which is mostly why my fam and I stuck to them on grandfathered plans for years.

shell void
#

im on verizon too

#

i was interested in trying tmobile, but they dont allow me to sign up for their 5g home internet at my address so i stayed with verizon

random flame
#

My sister has that from T-Mobile actually.

#

The speeds are incredible, while the ping is absolutely horrendous.

#

Even for normal use.

yeah you can get like gig down on their midband which is sweet

but they use CGNAT which blows

I fail to understand that kind of train of thought.

Which is not so simple to do if you don't have the patience or money for it.

Which is out of budget of most normal people.

I even brought it up as one I considered as a replacement for my current phone, then pointed out it's price tag.

rare prawn
#

800 is not bad

random flame
#

That's $849 before shipping for me.

#

And is waaayy over my budget.

#

Under $400 at the most is my budget.

rare prawn

I bet dad would say be happy with a 100$ phone for 10 years

just buy used then

I'm not buying something flagship priced unless at a steep discount and that's ONLY if I can find one I'd want, not just any phone.

For a phone of its calibre, $800 is a LOT considering you can get pixel 9s for $400

TBH, i've heard the same argument for CX to C5 owners

55" C5 is damn near 50% brighter than 55" C4

let alone a CX

maybe there's not much difference comparing 48" CX to 48" C5 though

I saw that once and it was a 42" owner

If my budget was going close to flagship pricing, I'd stomach it, but I'm just not doing that.

itll be really funny if C6 gets 165Hz and a 4th gen woled panel, but only on 55"+ sizes

But if there are SDXE2 phones for that much (doubt) same idea

pure garnet

the pixels value craters on the used market because they’re not great flagships

it’s the same as LG historically

if you can put up with them they’re good value used but buying one new is silly

all the “good” tvs are usually 55+

hoary hatch

with the size i wanted my options were literally just the cheap entry level stuff, one stupid samsung qlrd, and then oleds

shell void
#

yeah there are no good LCDs under 55", and even the 55" models are neutered in comparison to 65"+

#

TCL doesnt offer a QM8K 55" at all, and the Hisense U8QG 55" is worse

leaden dawn
#

regarding size, zenfone was the last one I wanted. Then they locked bootloaders so..

random flame
pure garnet
#

i lost interest in custom roms once play protect came out pretty much

65" Hisense U8 has been the entry level to a good LCD TV for the last few years, and theyre around $1000 +-200 depending on time of year

pure garnet
#

fighting with my phone isn’t something i’m into anymore

#

i have a pixel 6 pro to mess with but authy won’t work on it because it’s rommed so that stops any interest in it being more than a coc alt machine

I can't be fighting with my phone, considering I don't have the budget for having backup hardware if something screws up.

@shell void what about that it battery doesn't last all vacation day

pure garnet

keeps my 9800x3d under throttle in prime so that's cool

They usually only do 2 years and then that device is stuck with what it has unless you want to screw with it yourself and good luck trying to.

shell void
pure garnet

2 years for a cheap phone sounds normal for software support to me

an iphone will last you like 6 years with one battery replacement in the middle

my fans are at 900rpm and the pump is at 40%
