[steel stream]

tf you need a bunny person for

oh i missed the joke

[shell void]

well 8.666666 but whatever

[steel stream]

I am trying, they don't have many positions atm

[shell void]

a position for me

[steel stream]

Just apply and put tons of screenshots of your messages here

[pure garnet]

im still waiting for my internship denial email too

[steel stream]

I've got more at NVIDIA, just more postions

[hoary hatch]

How do I get this

I think there is a store on campus?

[shell void]

ive looked through the public merch store and it seems like none of it says intel foundry, just intel

carter you must acquire some IFS merch

[hoary hatch]

I see 18A polos

[steel stream]

hmm?

[hoary hatch]

Do you have any idea what I would do for an 18A polo?

[steel stream]

bro please

[hoary hatch]

IRL

[steel stream]

ah

[hoary hatch]

Like people wear them

[steel stream]

I was getting ready to offer like $200

[hoary hatch]

I need Kirkland Signature X IFS 18A swag

[shell void]

planting the intel shill seed early

[steel stream]

drowning in drip

my child will only allowed to wear IFS merch

[shell void]

i may actually order some intel merch because this stuff is fairly cheap

[steel stream]

help them out

[shell void]

@edgy laurel i ordered that topping audio interface that we've talked about a couple of times

[vagrant cargo]

Ive recently purchased a 65 inch tv i have a media centre / shelf i can use whats long enough for it i need a dac for it any suggestions its so I cna plug my headphones into it budget is under 200 pound

[shell void]

and some new bedsheets, no more amazon basics microfiber

we shall see how it does

[steel stream]

treat yo self

[shell void]

i have no idea what im doing when it comes to bedsheets but i got some that are made of a Cotton and Rayon blend

adulting

[steel stream]

that seems good

I also don't know anything about bedsheets

[hoary hatch]

I just get Kirkland signature

[steel stream]

smth smth thread count I think

[shell void]

i wanted to ask snail's wife but he said that she probably wouldnt reply to my text

[steel stream]

bummer

[shell void]

costco bedsheets go hard?

[steel stream]

I need bedsheets that say Kirkland signature on them

[hoary hatch]

Do you even have to ask

[shell void]

i need an intel foundry branded comforter

[steel stream]

I need intel foundry

maybe I need to find some alum from my school that I am connected with that works at Intel/IFS for some merch

use that linkedin

[shell void]

dont shame my passion for intel foundry you heretic

[topaz veldt]

@merry stirrup

[shell void]

you couldn’t resist the chance to bezos bin

[topaz veldt]

It's gonna be a turd I know it

[magic bone]

u got them for $650 each?

oh LMFAO

[steel stream]

Intels #1 supporter right here

[pure garnet]

damn the 285k box is way nicer

[steel stream]

yeah but you don't get the wafer tin anymore sadly

[low sorrel]

worlds longest battlefield 6 game

[pure garnet]

yeah my ks was that scam too

[steel stream]

oh did you not get one?

[pure garnet]

no i got a dark blue box for it being "special" edition

[steel stream]

RIP

[pure garnet]

the 7800x3d has the nicest box of the cpus i own rn but it's also like 90% dead air in it

[slim pebble]

Couldn’t wait eh? 😂. That’s ok, let us know how she bins

[wheat void]

Was hoping it had like a poster/sticker something

[pure garnet]

i mean it has the little ryzen 7 sticker

[wheat void]

That's not something you'd slap on a waterbottle

It's the size of your fingernail

[edgy laurel]

the one with the XLR input?

well I guess so if you're calling it an audio interface

nice. the E1x2?

[molten iron]

Just got a random SMS verification text from “SHEIN.”

I went to their website, put my phone number in, and it says “Welcome New Friend” and then it sent me the same code from the same phone number.

Should I be worried? I know my phone number is definitely being bought/sold by data brokers, but Shein’s website says that the account isn’t set up with the phone number.

Oh I should probably mark it off

[steel stream]

someone probably just put their phone number wrong

[edgy laurel]

my guy please don't input anything in their website. if you didn't request a code, it wasn't for you

or its a scam

[molten iron]

True

[pure garnet]

sometimes people also just put their old phone number into things for no reason

[molten iron]

I’m sorry, usually if I get a scam email or text about a service that I use, I go through official channels if I want to verify

[pure garnet]

like i logged into someone elses facebook like 4 times with my number before they got the memo to change it

i just kept marking the account for deletion when i logged in

[molten iron]

Hilarious

Okay well, I’ll ignore it

Stuff like this happening before I get ready to sleep pisses me off

[shell void]

e2x2 OTG, i probably wont ever plug in a second mic, or use the "OTG" phone connection, but it was only $40 more

i got it in white because it's more interesting than a black box

[wheat void]

Phone number as login username...how lazy

[steel stream]

wait why does it say 48V on it michael

[edgy laurel]

phantom power

is typically 48v

[shell void]

condenser microphone require +48v dc

or is it dynamic i dont remember

[steel stream]

did not know that

[edgy laurel]

i like that its got a bit of a pro equipment look

[shell void]

no it's condenser i was right originally ok

[edgy laurel]

yeah dynamics don't take power input

[shell void]

i havent shopped for mics or interfaces since like 2021

[edgy laurel]

Oh so its got some mixing software too

[shell void]

if only it supported on-device filters like PEQ, compression, gates, etc that would be so peak

[edgy laurel]

I wonder if I'd get annoyed by the front level monitor

plan to run your speakers from the pre-outs?

[shell void]

naw i dont have monitors

[pure garnet]

gonna sound mighty fine in the valorant lobbies

[shell void]

i wont sound any different to you probably

the mic input on the scarlett is fine, the headphone output is just actual dogshit

[pure garnet]

my wired backhaul fucked up my ip assignments and i hate it

@shell void i accidentally made my sisters room a wifi dead zone

she gets like 40mbps lmfao

[shell void]

how did that happen xd? i assumed the nodes would be in the same spot as before, but with a better uplink now

[pure garnet]

i moved the other node to the living room

[edgy laurel]

Thermodynamics is easy, they're in space. As for moving data..

[pure garnet]

if she says anything i'll put the third node in her room and get another moca adapter

[edgy laurel]

The full whitepaper https://starcloudinc.github.io/wp.pdf

[shell void]

she deserves it

40Mbps isnt really a problem for a normie, but if the throughput is that low then the signal is probably unstable

[pure garnet]

she has a 720p tv so in theory nothing will ever be too slow to watch but

if she says something then i'll worry about it

but im limited to where cable jacks are for ap placement

[whole coral]

Ahhhh so laser based communications

https://spectrum.ieee.org/amp/satellite-internet-china-crosslink-2671913181

Reminds me of this

[shell void]

TCL/CSOT RGB-OLED gaming monitor panels in 2027-28 https://www.flatpanelshd.com/news.php?subaction=showfull&id=1761118790

only a couple more years until we're free from W-OLED and QD-OLED cope

[pure garnet]

can the gl83a make it that long

18k power on hours

[wise bear]

One can dream

[pure garnet]

i’m getting my 320 out of it

320k hours minimum fr

[steel stream]

ill upgrade my G5 when we get a tandem RGB-OLED

[shell void]

you probably wont care about an upgrade aside from getting a higher refresh rate in a few years

[steel stream]

tbh this G5 will be used exclusively for movies, console gaming, and sports. Movies and sports being the big ones

[shell void]

G5 is gonna ruin the C4 42 for you xddddddddd

if you throw hdr games up on it

[steel stream]

i might finish my red dead playtthrough on it

[shell void]

🥀

4th gen woled mog

ill just keep my c4 in SDR so that im content

[steel stream]

nearly tripling my peak brightness too

doubling the peak from S90D

[shell void]

yeah the G5 is quite literally the guy that your girl told you not to worry about

it's so much better than monitors and the 42" C-series that it's upsetting

[steel stream]

I'll have to do some side by sides for sure

[molten iron]

god i'm terrible at hiding my ip

[shell void]

it's so over

im already on my way to your location

(i didnt see it)

[steel stream]

i think it was germany

[wheat void]

Far worse things to be bad at

[molten iron]

there. my attempt at 69.69.69.69

[topaz veldt]

LOL OMG, ARL #2 SP rating, what are the guesses? First one is SP 83

[molten iron]

this happens on all private browsers

[steel stream]

67

[shell void]

SP 96

[topaz veldt]

Higher

[topaz veldt]

lower

[wheat void]

I usually only get those on the wire guard servers

[shell void]

return it

[steel stream]

84

[wheat void]

Never cause of the browser

[shell void]

itll be so funny if it's also 83

[topaz veldt]

83

lol wtf

[shell void]

i wonder if that's accurate

[white thunder]

kind of a general question, but how do yall get over the fear of like...trying to get into tinkering with your PC but possibly breaking something worth hundreds of dollars in the process

[shell void]

maybe it's just reposting the old data

test it

[topaz veldt]

oh true I do wonder if its not refreshed!

oh shit, yeah i bet its not

now it'll be 79

[shell void]

you update the bios and it drops to sp82

[topaz veldt]

lol

82.5

[fervent elm]

Start out by working on worthless crap or non critical things that domt go big boom

Ram and ssd upgrades are pretty simple

[shell void]

eh if it can do 5.5p and 5.0e then who gives a shit

[topaz veldt]

@shell void its made it 30 secs of karhu @ 8933 CL40

[shell void]

if it can do better mem than your other one then cool beans

road to 9200 begins

[molten iron]

i have no idea what's going on

[topaz veldt]

We're playing roulette with $1200 worth of CPUs

holy shit we made it 1:15 on 8933!

[shell void]

snail bought a second intel core ultra 9 285k to see if it's better than his original sample at overclocking

[white thunder]

i would, but everytime i watch a video or read a thread i get fear mongered like "if you do X itll break it completely" and since everything is so closely connected im worried about breaking something else

[fervent elm]

Ram overclocking

[white thunder]

just super intimidating for me

at least as a complete layman, i basically know next to nothing on this stuff so

[shell void]

Core Ultra 9 290K Plus

[topaz veldt]

@shell void

[shell void]

what were u dailying on the other one? 8800 or 9000?

[topaz veldt]

8600 CL38 sometimes 8800 (but would error sometimes)

9000 never stable on original

[shell void]

oh

[topaz veldt]

I could never run 8933 for anything more than 15 - 20 sec

[shell void]

so this is already better maybe

[topaz veldt]

I mean....

[molten iron]

no with the google unusual traffic thing

[shell void]

go for 9000 no balls

[topaz veldt]

OK maybe SP 83 was old news

I should clear CMOS and see - or should I just go 9000

4 mins 22 sec 8933 M/Ts no errors, rebooting for 9000

[shell void]

🙏

[fervent elm]

Its really not too bad
Just be careful

[white thunder]

the only thing i recently was able to accomplish was re-doing thermal paste, but honestly given how that turned out i think i even did that wrong lol

[vagrant robin]

guys how can i get 40 people to answer a google form? for a school project

[fervent elm]

[vagrant robin]

help chat

[brisk jolt]

ask chatgpt ez

[topaz veldt]

SP83 is persisting after CMOS clear

[steel stream]

agony

[topaz veldt]

It's semi ok

Maybe I don't need to trust in SP

[shell void]

if it can hit the same core clocks as the other sample along with +200-400 on memory then we'll take the small victory

9000 daily stable would be satisfying

[wise bear]

I did good for once!!

[shell void]

[wise bear]

the IAR slaps when you're running assault

[devout ridge]

finally cracked 25k

[shell void]

i have zero idea what game that is, but i support peyton domination

[wise bear]

bf6

[shell void]

69 kills?

[hoary hatch]

I need more GPU before I play BF6 :/

The problem is if I wait for B770 or celestial, BF6 will be dead

[wise bear]

if your card can do dlss or fsr or whatever, you can play bf6 tbh

[hoary hatch]

If 9070xt was available at the mythical $599 I'd say fuck it

[hoary hatch]

Has performance improved since the beta?

[wise bear]

I never played the beta, i bought it on release day

[hoary hatch]

I was not satisfied with the performance I got during the beta

[shell void]

i think BF6 has XESS2.1 so you could probably cope on your B580

[wise bear]

well, a 5070ti is running 4k120 with no issue, so I think they've optimized it

then again I'm also using dlss+fg

[hoary hatch]

So it doesn't run at 4k120 with a 5070ti

[wise bear]

I mean I'm sure it would if I had more gpu

[shell void]

i only played one match in the beta, but it ran at 2160p dlaa 138fps locked on a 5090 no problem

[hoary hatch]

Can I borrow your 5090 indefinitely

[shell void]

ill trade you it for an intel foundry sweater

[hoary hatch]

I need to make some calls

[wise bear]

lol

[topaz veldt]

Lol wut

[shell void]

[topaz veldt]

Looool

gentlemen...

[brisk jolt]

Damn… He did it

[topaz veldt]

what have we done here

[shell void]

the first man in tech chat 2 to cross the 9000 barrier

[topaz veldt]

I am coming down from 10,333 forgive me

[brisk jolt]

9000 is already impressive imo

[topaz veldt]

Thats $520 for 400 MHz

#best_value

for posterity

[slim pebble]

You got a better bin!

[topaz veldt]

with the same SP!

At first my heart was kind of meh about another SP83

but then we booted 8933 and did what - 4 mins stable karhu

[brisk jolt]

then you went “fuck it. follow my own line”

[topaz veldt]

Loaded up some sugi voltages with primaries softened...

I don't even have hwinfo64 installed to check spd temps lol

@shell void coverage rips at 330 MB/s in Karhu

[shell void]

i dont remember what my 9800x3d does but it's probably a lot less

with my what.. 69GB/s read and 34.5GB/s write :p

[topaz veldt]

lol

I hope this is 140 GB/s

10 mins at 10:00

OK, so, we know what's next right?

[low sorrel]

Why not use on support

[shell void]

9200 full send

[wise bear]

because I don't want to medic

[low sorrel]

but no sprint penalty

[topaz veldt]

There's no way this works

[low sorrel]

22% faster ads time

[topaz veldt]

Insta crash karhu lol

We need to be over 9000

[shell void]

time to dump 1.45vccsa and 1.475vddimc

KABOOOOOM

[topaz veldt]

No

[shell void]

that's what sugi ran for 9200

for more comfortable voltages youre gonna be working at 8800/8933

maybe 9000 for epeen

[topaz veldt]

Ah ok yeah I'm not wanting to run that high

[brisk jolt]

watercooling ur ram

[vagrant cargo]

Jist brought my self a hisense u7n at 65 inch for end of my bed and a new media centre thats long enough for it and doesnt touch my current desk snd wont touch my new desk, so my new media centre for end of bed my new pc desk whats from ODK and l shaped and a 4k tv are on the way to me, just need to await for my hyte y70 touch infinite case to arrive and my 32inch 4k mini led monitor and my new set up will be nearly complete just need a new chair and everything is sorted and also my dac broke so I need a new one for the u7n so I can plug either my fiio ft1s or seinhesser hdb 620s

Yes my freelance paycheck came through and yes I spent a bunch of money today getting everything also a company called freely was selling thr u7n for get this

[topaz veldt]

Possibly

[brisk jolt]

y'know ya want and need to

(as me, the uninteresting fella says)

[vagrant cargo]

Wait i think the uk version comes with a audio jack so if I use my ft1s or the hbd 620s I dont need a dac for tv

The seinhesser 620s have a dac built into the headphones

I had tons of issues with pay money wise for month and my paycheck came in after I brought everything i still have 3750 pound left over god this week is so peak so far

Also my smartwatch finally updated to wearos 6 so noe can get new features and use facer again and my town finally doing late night buses what are great for when I finish my second job the kitchen one abd I brought snd found a xfx 7900 xtx for around 350 to 400 pound I got it earlier it fully works just needed cleaning

What the ? Im assuming this is a scam that price
https://a.aliexpress.com/_EvLVDmy

[indigo walrus]

Do. Not. Buy. GPUs. From. Ali. Express. (Unless you enjoy losing money.)

[vagrant cargo]

Im not buying one from them until next gen im sticking with the 7900 xtx I have now

Hopefully amd hsve something high end and intel maybe hopefully st ces 2026, doubt it but i can dream dam it

Tbh if nvidia knocked down price of 5080 this year to 1000 im curious what prices for 6080 or 6090 will be msybe the ssme

[brisk jolt]

yeah lets get you to bed gramps

[devout ridge]

My new (to me) r730 won't show up on my network at all, it shows activity on the IDRAC port, and the switch it's connected to shows activity, and other things on the switch work, but nothing from the 2u.

I've tried restarting it, plugging and unplugging the cable, reseating the CMOS

it posts, but nothing happens

also no video output, so i really need that IDRAC

[edgy laurel]

@topaz veldt apparently Logi has a fancy "new" gaming mouse if you wanna replace one of your Superlights https://www.logitechg.com/en-us/shop/p/pro-x2-superstrike-mouse

[vagrant cargo]

I had a 5080 before but It broke and I found that gpu i have now on Facebook marketplace 2 days ago still im suprised i got it for around 350 to 400 pound was such a steal

[brisk jolt]

How nice of logitroll to use the 3Rs (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle)

[vagrant cargo]

Tbh I love my razer mouse im using at the moment there is a super silent keyboard hippyotech shown whats pretty good didnt like the colour way but they have one in blsck with grey or black or dark purple keycaps so Im gonns buy that tommorow aswell, just realised I wont have time to set up my new desk until monday im busy the next 4 days

[edgy laurel]

haptic switches on a mouse seems interesting at the very least

no actual switch, just.. presumably.. a haptic feedback simulating a click

[vagrant cargo]

I do know Saturday is when my pc case arrives so sfter work im gonns put all my parts into the new case

Main thing I need to do for my pc now is switch to aio, get a radiator and some new fans , i wanna get those magnetic ones

[edgy laurel]

so you're in the "in need an aio" phase

you're next phase is the "that was dumb, back to air cooling"

natural progression

[final pivot]

This should be my cpu correct?

[edgy laurel]

no, leave it alone

its set correctly

[merry stirrup]

two of em

[merry stirrup]

just foam

it’s so oddly heavy too

[merry stirrup]

i have had approximately 1 air cooler in my daily rig ever

[wise bear]

oh my god using an ifv feels like cheating

[merry stirrup]

oooh hi

did you see what i purchased

[brisk jolt]

500 cigarettes?

[merry stirrup]

yeah basically

[merry stirrup]

arrow laek

[brisk jolt]

Damn I didnt know you could buy lakes

How much water does it hold?

[merry stirrup]

265 of them

[brisk jolt]

265ml?

[edgy laurel]

no 270k Plus?

[merry stirrup]

what thwe fuck is a 270kl plsu

[edgy laurel]

a rebadged 285k -200Mhz

https://videocardz.com/newz/intel-core-ultra-7-270k-plus-first-arrow-lake-refresh-sku-leaks-out

[brisk jolt]

290KL*

[brisk jolt]

290Kilo Plus Litres

[merry stirrup]

so its a 280K

like a 10850k

[edgy laurel]

i think they're trying to move silicon

cause like.. its a friggin 285k with some fiddling done

[merry stirrup]

arl-r im buying the top end sku

[merry stirrup]

that as well

the ocf is growing on me

looking at this image and not a product example photo it looks a lot better

[brisk jolt]

Im not buying arrow x lake I want whatever nova x lake is- it sounds cooler

[edgy laurel]

just imagine all that yellow was Taichi gold

[merry stirrup]

would be better

if i think its gross ill paint over all the yellow besides the ocf badge

[edgy laurel]

oh wow the OC Formula writing at the bottom is the correct gold

[merry stirrup]

mhm lol

i almost bbought the much uglier z590 version of this

[edgy laurel]

you know I have a power/reset button

i don't think i've ever used them

[merry stirrup]

those are the only way i turn on my computer if i have a board with them

[edgy laurel]

still good looking

[merry stirrup]

mpower oc panel takes your front panel buttons

[edgy laurel]

i hate product photo's with fake glowing rgb

[merry stirrup]

asrock is very guily of that

guilty* FAWK

makes the ocf look especially bad

[edgy laurel]

hate

[merry stirrup]

stupid

but when you look at it irl its not nearly as bad

... i hope

i'll have it tomorrow

[edgy laurel]

noice

[merry stirrup]

indeed then i get to crash out at a different platform

gotta make sure i buy am5 before nvl comes out

hopinh b850 mpower comes soon but i can just ask to import an aywoc

mmmmmm

yo theyre continuing the oc panel too thats fire (JDASH1)

[wise bear]

what did you gettttt

[brisk jolt]

he bought a lake

Either its a lake full of arrows or the lake is just named “Arrow Lake”

[wise bear]

I really, really like this rifle

[merry stirrup]

a lake full of arrows

[wise bear]

ooooo v nice v nice

[merry stirrup]

and an asrock oc formula

[wise bear]

I bought more camping supplies

[merry stirrup]

slay

[wise bear]

congrats on new hardware tho

[merry stirrup]

i will explode this one and then move to the next

[wise bear]

oh dear god

[merry stirrup]

67 67 67

[wise bear]

I've yet to watch the latest south park episode covering 67 because I have no idea what it is

floppaaaaa buy bf6

[merry stirrup]

dont super like bf

[wise bear]

aw boo

[merry stirrup]

@topaz veldt are temps higher on arl?

or am i not used to a normal cpu

[topaz veldt]

def not higher than RPL

@merry stirrup

[merry stirrup]

i dont have h24m which i feel may limit me

[merry stirrup]

ig im just used to delid then

i can comfortably cool ~390w

(thats why i delid instead of custom loop cause especially before i made more money its a lot cheaper)

[slim pebble]

Can your ecores hit 5 GHz?

[pure garnet]

where did you find the timing configurator at because the ocf doesn't have it listed

[wheat void]

what are ecores if they're not very e

[topaz veldt]

Yes

heres one from the guy who started the ocf thread

[pure garnet]

that's older than snails tho

[merry stirrup]

if it works it works

[slim pebble]

ARL ecores are actually really good, some people disable their p-cores and game on them

[topaz veldt]

Look at other z790 Asrock board downloads they have it listed

[merry stirrup]

this guy is mad he ran into an imc limit

[slim pebble]

Well all but one, you need one p-core enabled on the chip

[merry stirrup]

W board im so hyped for this snail

[wheat void]

how much power does a config like this pull

[merry stirrup]

read splaves article onit

paid asrock shill is wild

bro got the oc dream

[topaz veldt]

Sugi got sp88 😭

[merry stirrup]

is that bueno

or mal

[topaz veldt]

Good

[merry stirrup]

oh okie

seems low but i dont have z890 so...

[topaz veldt]

Arl completely different scale from RPL

[merry stirrup]

yea i watched skatter bench video on 265k

have a moderate understanding

[topaz veldt]

The dlvr is confusing

[merry stirrup]

im down w it

hate core cycler

[merry stirrup]

ngu d2d and whatever the last one is?

oh ring lol

[topaz veldt]

Ring

[merry stirrup]

durrr

[topaz veldt]

I'm like 38 ring 32 ngu 37 d2d

[merry stirrup]

285k really cant do any ring

[topaz veldt]

Nah

[merry stirrup]

i think broski in his vid got 4ghz or sumn

[topaz veldt]

Yep

[merry stirrup]

and 245k scales to 4.5 or something he said

[topaz veldt]

With higher sp

Yeah 4.4 ish

[pure garnet]

why do i have 3 different twrs on the same system being reported

[merry stirrup]

as long as this platform produces repeatable results

i will end up being very good at it

[pure garnet]

i have 51,52, and 48

all for the same timing

[merry stirrup]

trust py

reads register value

from the mch or whatever its called

[pure garnet]

oh wait there's 2 twrs

[merry stirrup]

yea

twr and twr_mr

[pure garnet]

labelled it is not

[merry stirrup]

cause i think its kinda the same thing

iirc mr is at the physical chip side

ig it ends up being higher at the imc by auto? idk dawg

i dont know its relation i just know it exists

[pure garnet]

cas slam time it is

[merry stirrup]

wat u at?

8400?

[topaz veldt]

https://www.overclock.net/threads/overclocking-arrow-lake-285k-265k-245k-etc-results-bins-and-discussion.1811860/page-688?post_id=29521057#post-29521057

[pure garnet]

nah 8200

[merry stirrup]

fucking loser

[pure garnet]

i went do 8000 and misinput

and it was at 8200 so i went okay sure

[merry stirrup]

oh lol

[pure garnet]

8400 on all auto didnt post so that probably requires adjusting voltages

[merry stirrup]

i will pray to the ocf and put it on a shelf again if it does 8800 or more

[pure garnet]

which is something i am not interested in doing rn

[merry stirrup]

im ready

my new kvm comes tomorrow too

not the case but SHHHH

[pure garnet]

how much did you dump into the hobby today?

[merry stirrup]

800

bought the kvm yesterday it doesnt count

[pure garnet]

god

[merry stirrup]

kvm was 70

[pure garnet]

i like arrow lake setup so i’m still babying it

[merry stirrup]

fuck this thing

this is my intermediate chip anywyas

i cant say ive never degraded a chip before now so we ball so hard

[pure garnet]

my 9800x3d will likely live its entire life with pbo off because i simply don’t care about a 7% clock increase

[merry stirrup]

this is what i put this shit on

[pure garnet]

i’ll let you crash test dummy then i’ll copy your arrow lake sauce fr

[merry stirrup]

that is the point sir

trial run before youtube

[pure garnet]

honestly the gigabyte bios scares me more than breaking than the chip does

[merry stirrup]

dawg i have to use ASROCK

im lost in an asrock am4 bios bro its OVER

[pure garnet]

yeah but the ocf has paid shills

[merry stirrup]

only vendor that hasnt remade their uefi design

[pure garnet]

ain’t nobody buying the gigabyte z890s

[merry stirrup]

thats what i was sayin earlier

[pure garnet]

launch revision dusty ass bios

[merry stirrup]

.

[merry stirrup]

i hope i dont have a rev 1 ocf lowk

i dont even know the differences but i want whatever the latest is all the time

i know theres a 1.02

[topaz veldt]

lolwut

[pure garnet]

what

[merry stirrup]

vddq mem bein low?

[topaz veldt]

vddq dafuq

[merry stirrup]

yeah hardly changes much

[pure garnet]

okay but who picks 1.24

[merry stirrup]

apparently the signaling part of it being a signaling voltage is more important than having 2 values that look the same

[regal wigeon]

So when testing out a new pc to see if it works before putting it in the case and you have an AIO how does that work? Do I have to hold the rad a certain way or what

[pure garnet]

do you have a spare heatsink lying around

if not just mount the aio and it doesn’t matter where the rad goes really

[merry stirrup]

testbed daily until that fuckass y40 comes in

[pure garnet]

i’ve also never tested pc parts outside of the case i’m ngl

[merry stirrup]

or ig i could just wait and not put my gpu in it

oh my god the 13900ks has an igpu ill have 2 computers

[pure garnet]

twin

[merry stirrup]

that arent slow*

[pure garnet]

265k+4070 to do nothing with

🔥🔥🔥

[merry stirrup]

i have a 3600 and rtx 2k rig behind me but its technically me moms

(and its am4 i dont want it anyways)

[pure garnet]

i used to cope and call the 2nd pc a nas but

i got the think center to handle that

[merry stirrup]

yeah you hve a server

[pure garnet]

$50 for a 7500t was good

[merry stirrup]

im gonna move to a cml based server im hype

[heavy spire]

H16A can get wonky above 8500 or so. If you're at 9000 and it just refuses to show any long term stability it might be the sticks

[merry stirrup]

sounds good ill just end myself and spend more money

[pure garnet]

even grand

[merry stirrup]

200 bones for a ram kit im going to cry

i couldve just bought a 285k

[pure garnet]

maybe you shoulda skipped that sandwhich

[merry stirrup]

maybe you shoulda made me one FAWK you

[pure garnet]

do you want a sandwhich with the i7

[merry stirrup]

thats the protective packaging

[heavy spire]

Ram prices have gone to shit lately

[merry stirrup]

AI AI AI

[wise bear]

lets fucking gooooo

[merry stirrup]

idk is there 2x24 at best buy

[pure garnet]

bro give up on the best buy

[topaz veldt]

Lol

[merry stirrup]

that was wishful thinking

[merry stirrup]

this actually is making me laugh so hard

[pure garnet]

i think you’ve checked best buy for every component but the motherboard

[merry stirrup]

https://tenor.com/view/sweats-gif-25346666

[merry stirrup]

yo let a floppa live the dream of getting something the same day

[pure garnet]

join me with the 8000cl38 1.35v h24m bin

[merry stirrup]

[merry stirrup]

how many bones

i kinda wanna just buy gskill and match splaves freak

[pallid marsh]

huge

[pure garnet]

i think amazon wanted 270 for it now so don’t get my same sticks

check pc part picker though

[merry stirrup]

alright bro

[pure garnet]

https://a.co/d/5c5gLrY i have these

[merry stirrup]

i gues im buying the 8400

[merry stirrup]

this will be a next check thing

im NOT doing this rn hell na

[pure garnet]

bro gonna forget rent

[merry stirrup]

or maybe if i sell the mpower to you

[pure garnet]

[merry stirrup]

mpower for a 12700k and some shit ram crazy

400$ board slippin thru my hands by pennies

i dont think ive had this thing for even as long as it took to ship here

[pure garnet]

if i didn’t just mail away my a die id say you could have my ripjaws kit but i dont have ram

i also ripped the heat spreaders off now

[merry stirrup]

good good good good

youre doing it youre doing it!!!

now get greenies to match MY freak

[pure garnet]

it’s funny because i have the fancy trident z in my main pc and now

the weird freak kit in my other pc

[pallid marsh]

@ mods they are showing naked big black sticks of ram

[merry stirrup]

https://www.amazon.com/KLEVV-2x16GB-7000MHz-Desktop-KD5AGUA80-70B360S/dp/B0C6LM4XR4

i have this (paid 100$) w/no heatsinks or leds now

[merry stirrup]

altho the highest ive posted (or tried to post) was on greenies at 9k

only took the klevv's to 8800

didnt try 9k

[heavy spire]

How old are those sticks btw? The newer-ish PCBs are pretty good at keeping the sticks cool

[pure garnet]

2023

[heavy spire]

[merry stirrup]

i will say mpower and edge special pmic unlock is insane

basically makes any greenie viable

that is incredible sauce idk if that exists on anything else

[heavy spire]

MSI managed to unlock my borked 2x32gb sticks as well

[merry stirrup]

yep

straight magic its awesome

somethin to do with this

i thgink edge/mpower in special unlock runs dcm

or its ccm but i feel dcm makes more sense

[heavy spire]

Bought some 6600C32 Corsair Doms in 2024 as my chill gaming kit as the shit I play hits 40gb+ from time to time, but in 2024 they just refused to boot in HV mode

[merry stirrup]

weird

[heavy spire]

Thought they would be richtek as thats what 99% of em were from what I've seen, but no, ended up with MPS pmic

[merry stirrup]

BOOO

i have some IDT? on my greenies

which i think is a renesas sub brand

[heavy spire]

A bios update fixed it though, not sure if it was that magic unlock sauce or just added support, but it suddenly worked after a bios update

[merry stirrup]

regardless it was locked

[merry stirrup]

wack lol

leaving small computer goin back to big computer gon be cool

im gonna put it back on a shelf bro i miss that

[heavy spire]

Will be interesting to see what you get out of that build

[merry stirrup]

nothing but misery i presume

i just really hope that i gain more experience

i have a lot of d4 experience relatively to d5 but

doesnt all transfer over

[heavy spire]

Thats the usual experience early on

[merry stirrup]

only really the testing methods and my own means of efficiency when tuning

[topaz veldt]

@merry stirrup my ecores are SP97

[merry stirrup]

daym

maybe you can do 5ghz ecores lol

[topaz veldt]

I have been

I'm trying 52 now

[merry stirrup]

SP wont be the same on taichi so we cant compare sadly

[topaz veldt]

Vid though

[merry stirrup]

trueskis

i coulda bought a unify X as well

tbf if i was considering an apex i coulda bought everything but a tachyon

[topaz veldt]

Ocf Better

[pure garnet]

i got cpu biscuits

[merry stirrup]

yeah fair

[merry stirrup]

jesus fucking christ

[pure garnet]

[topaz veldt]

Lol such a weird term

[merry stirrup]

yo unironically cpu force is better

didnt know that was possible

msis fake sp scale sucks too

"lower is better" and its 0-255

[pure garnet]

the best part is it’s not like i have an 85cb

it’s labeled in bios as 85cp

but it’s biscuits

where is the p coming from

[merry stirrup]

😭

ig i stay up a lil and watch more z890 stuff

gotta watch stuff on asrock bios and take notes

[heavy spire]

Is tachyon that bad for arrowlake?

[merry stirrup]

no its just vaporware

[pure garnet]

no tachyon just billion dollars

[merry stirrup]

and that

[heavy spire]

Ah right

[pure garnet]

make an offer on newegg

[merry stirrup]

well ig 600$ on wegg

[pure garnet]

i’m gonna lowball em on an apex

[merry stirrup]

please dont gap me on a motherboard via lowball

[pure garnet]

i don’t have apex money i’m kidding

[merry stirrup]

the ocf may have ddr5 wr (i think? idk if its the apex) but i know ts is better

[pure garnet]

well i do but i dont wanna buy another board

[merry stirrup]

big boy board calls

i cant beat everyone else but snail to it

[heavy spire]

I keep seeing some random posts from a guy that works with GB, tests memory for em etc, and he keeps posting some high numbers on it from time to time

[merry stirrup]

gb 4dimmers on z790 with the x lineup were supposedly pretty good

[heavy spire]

But yeah, thats just random screenshot that I dont really pay enough attention to get context for

[pure garnet]

there’s some people that have done 8600 on my board

but i’m cowardly to mess with voltages i don’t understand rn

[heavy spire]

Speaking of, he just posted this like an hour ago I guess https://valid.x86.fr/q4pt03

265k even

[topaz veldt]

😂

[merry stirrup]

fiyure

5.7 core clocks makes me happy

[topaz veldt]

5.2 e core

[merry stirrup]

if i can manipulate the silicon enough to doing that for me ill be good

[merry stirrup]

personally i fw big number overall but i said fire cause of the ecores

[topaz veldt]

Damnit, not stable

[merry stirrup]

five juan?

[topaz veldt]

Gonna 1.275v

Damn, closer

Maybe p cores are unhappy

Nah doesn't like 52

yeah does 51 fine

Beats 49 of my old one

[merry stirrup]

okay valid

did u work more on 9000?

[fringe vigil]

That cat is so cute

[topaz veldt]

stable for 4 hrs'

[fringe vigil]

What’s confusing

[edgy laurel]

what cat

[fringe vigil]

That mf kitty in the gif

[edgy laurel]

what gi... oh its hidden

[topaz veldt]

Day 2 with this new mouse and I still like it

I saw that fancy mouse you linked Guilty

I dunno whats different from the ones I have

[edgy laurel]

that seems really interesting

first of its kind, i think

there are no physical mechanical switches

[shell void]

https://tenor.com/view/psychic-third-eye-enlightenment-telepathy-gif-22477198

[edgy laurel]

left and right click are, from what we can tell, just haptic feedback engines

[shell void]

what mouse did u get?

[edgy laurel]

he got an MX Master 4

but I linked the new Logi Pro X2 Superstrike

https://www.logitechg.com/en-us/shop/p/pro-x2-superstrike-mouse

countdown to chinese copys at 1/3 of the price

[topaz veldt]

I can't find anythign specific about the buttons

[shell void]

“transformative leap in click latency”

[edgy laurel]

I wanna know what its like. adjusting the feel of the buttons in software, maybe even have differing feedback for things like shooting. seems like it could be neat. Gimmick, but near

[shell void]

right logitech totally

[edgy laurel]

latency talk is bait for 14y/o wannabe pros, i'm more interested in how they feel

apple can do some amazing things with their haptic feedback

[shell void]

i’m memeing it because click latency was solved years ago

the g pro x superlight 2 is already <1ms click latency

so them claiming to reduce it by 9-40ms is just wtf

[topaz veldt]

@shell void i was checking out sugi0lovers 285K - he has an SP91 overall, crazy. Mine is SP83. But his MC SP is 42 and mine is 40, so that prob explains his abillity to run like 9200+ and mine being fine at 9000, so far.

@edgy laurel dunno if you saw last nights insanity

[shell void]

9000 is a satisfying number we’ll take it

[edgy laurel]

https://tenor.com/view/annoyed-face-gif-25409193

[topaz veldt]

BUT

[edgy laurel]

you know thats entirely lost on me right lol

[topaz veldt]

9000 CL42 almost 2 hours stable

[shell void]

does that touch 140GB/s in aidameme?

[topaz veldt]

142 GB/s

67-68ns

[edgy laurel]

I feel like the "are you winning, son" dad

[topaz veldt]

bro

[stable turret]

now with the new "trade up contract" update in CS2 that you can obtain GLOVES or KNIVES simply through trading with 5 "covert"/red rarity weapon skins and this change has since crashed the CS2 marketplace. Now all knives and gloves are facing a -50% price depreciation in market. Many people decided to jump ship and join Valorant after this major update, and whats your guys opinions on this?

[edgy laurel]

https://tenor.com/view/oh-no-oh-no-anyway-gif-18887547

[topaz veldt]

#gaming we're talking about OC here

[stable turret]

and how impactful in performance do you guys expect with the major CS2 update?

[shell void]

devastating news for the unemployed

[edgy laurel]

I think @stable turret ever since being called out as a troll after the 5800x overclocking debacle has just been using AI for all their posts lmao

[stable turret]

with more gloves and knives flushed to the market and more people owning the cosmetics, can you expect major framerate drops in FPS in a technical viewpoint?

lol i didnt use ai

believe it or not it really depends on you

[shell void]

the game runs like crap but more people having skins isn’t gonna change anything

[stable turret]

yeh CS2 does run like craps if you compare it with highly optimized games like valorant

but it was still one of the most popular games on steam

however after this major update i would expect some percentage of the population would shift toward valorant

[visual quail]

Hey guys, I'm looking to pick up a 5070 ti. Seems like the ASUS Prime is the go to for price and features. Any other models I should consider?

[stable turret]

since it Fxxks many of the players up who owned knives or gloves before

[edgy laurel]

Multiple days of paragraphs about how valorant is the best game in the world

no one cares

[stable turret]

just a 50% loss in their total cosmetics valuation

[stable turret]

the truth is, it is really NOT the best game in the world

[autumn rain]

Valorant doesn’t have the same trading economy that CS2 has though, so I’m unsure why people who are way into the CS2 knife and glove economy would swap over to Valorant.

[stable turret]

popularity != best games

[shell void]

anything except for the msi ventus and msi shadow will be fine

[stable turret]

best game is a subjective term and its up to your personal opinion to decide what the best game is

just in case if you dont know the simple ideology

[edgy laurel]

is this guy for real

[autumn rain]

I don’t think things being popular = Quality™

If that’s the case, then Destiny 2 was one of the greatest games of all time, and I can’t live in that reality.

[stable turret]

Exactly

[topaz veldt]

totally agree

[visual quail]

Ty

[autumn rain]

Kinda seems like it, that first message is very news article-y

[visual quail]

CS2 "runs like crap" meanwhile everyone's machine has it run at 600 fps minimum

[edgy laurel]

same thing pasted in tc1, so just crossposting it too

[stable turret]

I take it as a compliment, and i think ChatGPT is smarter than 99% of the people here

[edgy laurel]

lol, the ruse continues

[stable turret]

Yeh if you turn the graphics all the way to the bottom

However it would be CPU bound and I don’t think it’s possible to reach 600fps on really old machines

It’s not CSGO anymore

[autumn rain]

I got ChatGPT to tell me to put glue on my pizza once, so yeah you could say it’s pretty smart.

[topaz veldt]

he is and its exhausting. when he got challenged on his goofy claims of "I will have a session of answering your questions later about overclocking" he went on to random high level weird AI-gen convo

[stable turret]

ChatGPT is still improving and I wonder if it would do the same at the current stage

[edgy laurel]

yeah, its been super apparent

[stable turret]

Lol sounds funny

[topaz veldt]

Can you go to TC1 please? Your conversations don't add value here

[stable turret]

Dude just couldn’t accept the fact someone is more knowledgeable than him in many areas

[topaz veldt]

Yeah that's exactly it, now please go back to TC1 or public

[stable turret]

I don’t hold a picture toward TC1 or TC2 but I think my knowledge or specialty is more suited to this channel (TC2)

[visual quail]

Why do you write like you're in high school or you've dropped out of community college

[autumn rain]

Not knowledgeable enough to talk about Valorant and CS2 in the gaming chat evidently, but maybe We should stop interacting if it’s actually just a bot

[stable turret]

Lol I don’t really mind my writing style as long as it conveys the ideas

[topaz veldt]

I won't speak for everyone without a vote, but I don't think your knowledge or specialty is fitting TC2, no. Members here first thing in the morning have made that clear.

[visual quail]

It's not a bot, hes definitely acoustic though

[stable turret]

Btw I prob went to a better unis than you

[topaz veldt]

Than me?

[visual quail]

What college and major?

[stable turret]

The Calibri guy

[autumn rain]

Don’t fall for the ragebait

[topaz veldt]

Who cares? Get this crap out of TC2

[stable turret]

What about you?

[stable turret]

Wasn’t taking to you

Also didn’t ask btw

[visual quail]

I'm not the one larping being smart, if you can't answer get out

[topaz veldt]

Literally larping as an intellect, its annoying

[autumn rain]

lol “better uni” but wants you to say yours first

[shell void]

i only have armchair credentials so don’t ask me

[stable turret]

Yeh that’s true

[visual quail]

Ya someone smart would just say MIT, Oxford, Harvard, UW

Not "uhhh u first"

[autumn rain]

lol yeah

[stable turret]

Cuz he is just gonna escape and disappear when I say my unis

[fringe vigil]

In what

[stable turret]

I wouldnt make the mistake again

[visual quail]

My unis, this is definitely a child

[stable turret]

Btw gtg cuz I’m currently watching an anime with my girlfriend

Lemme know when he drops his unis

[fringe vigil]

Why are you g

[visual quail]

My girlfriend who goes to another school

[stable turret]

Otherwise I see this argument as pointless

[topaz veldt]

I just have paychecks

[autumn rain]

My girlfriend goes to a different server y’all

[autumn rain]

Ha same joke lol

[topaz veldt]

lol yeah because that's a normal transition

[fringe vigil]

Why are you g

[topaz veldt]

Going to put this clown back on block

[steel stream]

what did i miss

[topaz veldt]

its just annoying seeing "message blocked"

[autumn rain]

Probably wise

[visual quail]

Nothing, we were bullying a child

[topaz veldt]

We're talking PC shit and our resident profound intellect overclocker chimes in with random AI generated dialogue about CS2

[steel stream]

yay...

[autumn rain]

He ran out of NPC dialogue and had to resort to the ol’ “I have a girlfriend” tactic

[visual quail]

I thought some gigabyte models needed to be avoided

I'm scared guys, this is a big purchase

[autumn rain]

The only thing I’ve had a slight issue with on my Gigabyte 5080 is the thermal putty they used started to droop a bit when vertically mounted after a while, but that’s an easy fix. If there’s any other known issues with em, then I am not aware.

[topaz veldt]

whats the problem?

[autumn rain]

R/techgore

Yeah mine ain’t that bad, just had to clean it up and put down some new pads.

Dang they got it right up onto the die too

[proven saddle]

i think you need thermalpaste

[topaz veldt]

I assure you its that bad if you remove it

[topaz veldt]

Nope

[proven saddle]

liquid metal??

[stable turret]

The magnetic switches keyboard I bought yesterday just arrived today. And with serious market competition now it is priced similarly to regular mechanical keyboard if not cheaper (I bought the one on the image for $6 with shipping included). So if it were you will you choose a regular mechanical keyboard or one with magnetic switches if they are priced the same?

[topaz veldt]

its a hybrid

if you look close you can see the liquid metal balls in it

[proven saddle]

ye i can see the die and you need more

[topaz veldt]

No you do not need more, temps were fantastic

[proven saddle]

looks like ice cream

[autumn rain]

I mean I’ve taken apart my fair share of GPUs to do painting or maintenance so it wasn’t that big of a deal to me at least.

[topaz veldt]

Gigabyte 5000s are completely different

They used "thermal gel" everywhere

its like nothing you've taken apart before I assure you

[autumn rain]

How lovely

[topaz veldt]

There are no pads

its literally "gel" everywhere

[stable turret]

Tbh I found magnetic switches keyboard more customizable and often result in faster typing speed and more suitable to each persons own typing style

[proven saddle]

its just grey ice cream

[topaz veldt]

its grey hell

[stable turret]

So I wonder if it’s possible for regular switches keyboard to phase out in the future?

[proven saddle]

ice cream

[stable turret]

I don’t think the cost of manufacturing is that much of a difference

[frank zealot]

I think Jay scraped off like 2.5 or 3 ounces of paste from it? Like, it was a ton of goo.

It's ridiculous

[topaz veldt]

Yup

[stable turret]

As there are already magnetic switches keyboard as cheap as a few dollars in China and with good driver support

[topaz veldt]

I started scraping it to reapply at sale but said fuggit this baby is getting sold with the waterblock

[proven saddle]

looks like ice cream

[stable turret]

Though it doesn’t have RGB nor wireless support

[autumn rain]

Why would they even do that? Is there some thermal advantage to be gained?

[frank zealot]

Goo offers the benefit of basically guaranteeing every component gets hit

and you don't have to have different thicknesses of pads

[autumn rain]

I mean I guess, but it feels unnecessary

[frank zealot]

and it's less work to apply

and most likely it's cheaper

[autumn rain]

Well no wonder I got it so cheap I suppose. I’m not too worried about it though.

[topaz veldt]

Cost

[topaz veldt]

If you're cranking out GPUs, not having to apply thermal pads is huge.

💪

[proven saddle]

I guess so. I have no clue as to how their manufacturing processes work

[autumn rain]

It does kinda look like that yeah

[topaz veldt]

well imagine a caulk gun vs pieces of thing with plastic peels... its a no brainer easier, but the community has to deal with.... that mess

[jaunty horizon]

I have AMD RX6600, what's the best upgrade I can do? (new or used doesn't matter)

[steel stream]

5090

[fringe vigil]

Going to watch anime with my girlfriend now

[turbid locust]

more info needed

like the rest of system specs, intended resolution, and performance expectations

Because with no other context, 5090.

[steel stream]

budget helps too

[autumn rain]

It’s a legendary quote

[brave panther]

nah, maybe he needs more vram, clearly a rtx pro 6000 usecase

[turbid locust]

true

[jaunty horizon]

ah yes, my bad:
Ryzen 7 5700X
32 GB 3200Mhz DDR4
RX6600
240gb NVMe boot, 1TB SSD, 1TB HDD, 240GB SSD

Intended use is 1080p as monitor is 1080p and I won't upgrade for a decade
Budget is probably 350USD to 450USD

[turbid locust]

Are you getting poor performance in the games you play?

[jaunty horizon]

Well I'm playing on medium mostly, getting 60-80fps; but if I wanted to play something on higher, or just games like battlefield or call of duty, GPU goes to 100% and goes to 30-45 even on medium

I think limitng factor is that RX6600 is 8GB

[brave panther]

save up or sell current gpu and get 9070/9070xt

[jaunty horizon]

I was thinking about buying it for black friday since we have awesome deals here

[autumn rain]

That’s good advice.

[brave panther]

good plan

[autumn rain]

I mean, it’s not a popular answer, but you can get a 5060ti for around that budget and it’ll probably last you quite a long time

[turbid locust]

I wouldn’t hate a 5070 purchase either

[topaz veldt]

285K sold lol

[turbid locust]

9070 isn’t a bad buy either tho

[jaunty horizon]

I was thinking going for NVIDIA but it didn't end up seeming price friendly, was also looking at 9060XT and 9070 you brought up

[autumn rain]

Not popular as in not popular with the tech crowd. But yeah I get what you’re saying

[turbid locust]

A used 7900XT could also be the move

[topaz veldt]

huh

[topaz veldt]

mac-a-docious we're 9k stable bro

[turbid locust]

lol nice

[topaz veldt]

it only cost me another 285K

[jaunty horizon]

rn price for 9060XT plus you get discound of 22.50€ if you pay using paypal or card

[autumn rain]

Oh nvm i thought you were talking to me. I’ll go introvertedly stand in a corner now

[topaz veldt]

no

[autumn rain]

Sorry I couldn’t hear you from the corner I’m in

[autumn rain]

Dang prices in Europe are up there

[brave panther]

keep in mind 9070 xt is 620 and is 2x the performance

[wise bear]

I have awoken

[topaz veldt]

you missed our resident pro OC'er

[wise bear]

Oh darn

That's what I get for having a morning shower

[autumn rain]

He’s too busy watching anime with his girlfriend unfortunately

[wise bear]

I keep telling him that hands & AI don't count

[autumn rain]

Wild

I must have misread his post then “Too busy watching his anime girlfriend” lol

[wise bear]

5nail do you know if you can view past game scoreboards in bf6 or is that not a thing

[topaz veldt]

yeah he started arguing weird crap again

and then when it got too wtf he did the "I am watching anime with my gf gtg"

[topaz veldt]

there used to be battleblog for bf4, but i dunno if theres anything for bf6

[wise bear]

I hope there is, because I fucking smeared people in A&D last night

IAR goes so hard

[autumn rain]

I’ve never been one for FPS, is BF6 good to get into?

[whole coral]

Lmao.

[wise bear]

literal beast of a rifle for engi

[whole coral]

I don’t think he knows what an ONT is.

ONT literally converts light signals from the fiber optic (glass) cable into electrical signals

[fringe vigil]

`who says it

[topaz veldt]

fiber optic is not glass any longer

[brave panther]

he asked a sparky not a network sparky

[wise bear]

I don't play a whole lot of fast-action shooters, but bf6 is pretty goddamn great

[autumn rain]

We had to install a bunch of ONTs at work recently

[autumn rain]

I may keep in in mind then

[whole coral]

Nice

[autumn rain]

That’s when I learned what they were lol

[brave panther]

onts are more complex
transcievers are needed

[topaz veldt]

media converters are a thing

[jaunty horizon]

well of course they are since there are like two suppliers in whole of my country (Croatia) who dictate prices

[autumn rain]

Although I work in IT, networking is a little unknown to me. So I take knowledge where I can get it and hope it’ll help me study for the N+

[autumn rain]

That sucks man.

[wise bear]

EA what are you doing putting rifle flash hiders on pistols

[brave panther]

order from germany like the rest of us

[wise bear]

why is this an option 😭

[autumn rain]

That boy ain’t right

[topaz veldt]

maybe its a 5.7

[whole coral]

There’s also fiber nodes lol.

[wise bear]

that is the 5.7 lol

[whole coral]

Again does the same thing. Turns an optical signal into an electrical signal

[topaz veldt]

well then it almost makes sense

[wise bear]

how does it make sense putting a surefire 3-prong flash hider on a pistol

you can do this shit on the fuckin' starting pistol too

[topaz veldt]

have you fired a 5.7?

[wise bear]

like what is this

[sly moon]

I mean, why not give people the option, if they do it, that’s on them?

[wise bear]

I haven't no, but I assume it's not very recoil-y

[topaz veldt]

If you truly want to hide the flash, a 5.56 flash hider does make sense

[topaz veldt]

well a flash hider is not for recoil

[wise bear]

no I meant like, the round itself

[topaz veldt]

the kick is low but dude the the velocity and fireball are rifle like

[wise bear]

huh, neat

[topaz veldt]

I can't speak to the comp

but I have a 5.7 and it fires like a 22 mag but its way higher bullet velocity

[wise bear]

well yeah

there's a bunch of powder behind the little fucker

[topaz veldt]

its more fiery than most

[warm scroll]

How do I know if a hdd is done for

[wise bear]

Can you still access data on it? is it showing in bios? is it making weird noises?

[frank zealot]

is it reading?

Is it clicking?

is it shaking violently?

Is it not showing up?

[warm scroll]

The most I got was it said disk 1 not initialized and it didn’t initialize it’s a seagate and it’s usb connecter won’t work I tried a new one that I know works as I have 2 drives and didn’t work

[warm scroll]

It’s a mobile hdd and I haven’t really make any noise

[edgy laurel]

...does it work?

[warm scroll]

It should it makes a light when I used a usb connecter

[edgy laurel]

why are such basic things left out here. remote troubleshooting on hard mode

[frank zealot]

yeah nah, that doesn't mean anything

[wise bear]

its the younger generations tbh, they're all like this

[frank zealot]

Can you tell me why my car's not running?

[warm scroll]

I’m not sure if the second sata connecter is the reason why it’s a bit loose it’s from an dvd drive

[arctic bronze]

aint got no gas in it

[edgy laurel]

My PC won't boot, is there a fix?

[frank zealot]

buy a new one

[edgy laurel]

one sentence and asking for "a fix" triggers me

[arctic bronze]

pray to the PC gods

[wise bear]

guys my bong wont start any ideas

[arctic bronze]

it aint got no gas in it

[wise bear]

it will here in 30 seconds

[warm scroll]

Does it need power? There’s 3 connectors

[wise bear]

bruh

[arctic bronze]

sata drives need a sata power and a sata data cable to function

[warm scroll]

I’ve never used a tiny hdd

[wise bear]

all drives need power you fucking willy wonka cheeseburger

[warm scroll]

My dvd drive only used 2 which I assume provided power

[wise bear]

its like asking if a gas car needs a battery
