What are the thoughts?
On this one?

merry stirrup
#

100$ for shipping and it still took 3 days

merry stirrup
pure garnet
#

delete that pic

#

has your moms info in it

merry stirrup
#

g3 i think is 7th gen

#

so not even an 8 core

pure garnet
#

4.2 is 7700 iirc

merry stirrup
#

err, 6 core

#

just a shitty 4

#

look for an 8700 minimum if this is the route you have to take

pure garnet
merry stirrup
#

oh my bad

#

i just work with the hp units so i was going off what i remembered from work

dawn plover
#

If someone can find me a business computer please DM me and it has to be from Amazon as I've previously said šŸ˜…šŸ™šŸ™šŸ™ šŸ˜”šŸ‘‹

pure garnet
#

just tell your mom the mini pc is for business

dawn plover
#

Already tried. First thing I did try!

#

sir we’ve hit the second hour

pure garnet
#

maybe i can resell the master

merry stirrup
#

that’s what i’m sayin

#

you can rebuy everything just slightly better for not much more money than originally

#

a 300$ am5 board is at least a decent itx or if you want to wait for oc boards to get that cheap

dawn plover
#

200-300 max

heavy spire
pure garnet
#

i paid 250 for it so if i can
get close to that it’s not a horrible idea

heavy spire
#

And motherboards that are wack and not really compatible with anything

pure garnet
#

that pc is so old it’s probably not proprietary yet

merry stirrup
#

it is

#

anything past 4th gen for any brand is lost cause

pure garnet
#

oh

merry stirrup
#

all 12vo atp

pure garnet
#

yeah please get the mini pc bro

merry stirrup
#

unless workstation like precision or Z series

pure garnet
#

you’re gonna have a big ole box of disappointment for the birthday

merry stirrup
#

but even then both of mine are

merry stirrup

#

Is there any brand or addition of PC that I should get cuz I know ever since Windows decided to be a big dumb dumb and get rid of window 10 support which is probably going to be like an E-Waste event where businesses are getting rid of their computers would refurbished work?

Annoying part about office\business PCs is that the part selections for em can be made specifically for the hardware they are running, so you end up with weak PSUs that cant run modern GPUs, and basically no way to upgrade.

Some of them are alright, but you need to know what you're looking for

merry stirrup
#

yes

#

you will be using janky sketchy ebay adaptors

#

hello akn i am a new man with z890

I've had CNN enabled for Cyberpunk instead of Transformer

#

Okay so the Amazon listing looks all right my only complaint is Windows 10 but I can switch up the operating system I know how to do that!

merry stirrup

basically yes

#

anything cool enough or i could probably find a use for

#

i don’t like throwing away things with a genuine use id rather it go to someone who needs it or use it myself

#

i’ve given away all but one of the pcs i got from work

steel stream
#

I wonder how cyberpunk looks on an S90D hmm

merry stirrup
#

for reals

#

the prime and ocf actually look very good together

#

id show but on the test bed there’s just no way for it to look actually presentable

pallid marsh

#

Floppa/ with everything in my list except the PC what is the updated verdict!

pure garnet
merry stirrup
#

i’d also argue get rid of the ram

#

buy a bigger 1TB nvme ssd instead

pure garnet
#

that board isn’t doing 3200

merry stirrup
#

16GB and more storage on a pc of that caliber is probably preferred

pure garnet
#

it’ll be locked to 2400 or whatever jedec is

merry stirrup
#

yeah i think ur right

steel stream
#

@edgy laurel quick question, since I can do moonlight streaming in HDR, I can setup an HDR profile for my S90D while on sunshine right?

merry stirrup
#

you will probably need a power supply adaptor to plug in the 3050

Floppa/ All right any ram recommendations kind of affordable? Since the rain probably isn't going to work for this?

merry stirrup

the ram that comes with it is fine

16GB is more than enough at least for this

yall have any idea why windows hates headphones? whenever I plug mine into the front, it doesnt play despite it connecting and assuring me audio is playing. I checked volume and everything but it just does not want to connect

#

It only works when I connect to the panel of the motherboard but it has a weird static noise I cant seem to get rid of

south shuttle
#

could be anything from EMI to a short within a cable

swift lantern
#

I had it in the front for a while but one day I pulled it off to troubleshoot my mic

south shuttle

#

When I plugged it back in, there was no audio unless it was from the front, I am pretty positive its a windows error because the same thing happened on my old pc but without the constant noise

battery is 8 years or up to 100,000 mi

#

the trick is buy one a year or two old for nearly 1/2 the MSRP

#

which is more or less what they're going for now

#

lotta car for nearly half the msrp

#

that '21 4S was nearly $150k new

so clearly linus realizes this hence the joke he made

merry stirrup

i probably could get away without a gpu

low sorrel

no but how are you going to tune your gpu then?

#

also don't you want a dgpu for cpu benchmarks so you take load of cpu or something

i don’t like you overclocking

@pure garnet you will need sauce bios

i have the m1 pro 14 and my sister has the m4 air and i didn’t really notice the screen downgrade setting it up

i’d imagine on pure black screen it’d be night and day though

topaz veldt

I don't think the m1 pro 14 and m4 mbp are the same screen tho

pallid marsh

Would you rather have a OLED MacBook Air or a touchscreen mini led MacBook Air

topaz veldt

is that a real question

touchscreens on laptops is sad

edgy laurel
#

whaaat

topaz veldt
#

touchscreens are so gross

edgy laurel
#

minus the touch aspect, apple wouldn't do that anyway

topaz veldt
#

oh, yeah, take the touch off, all good

#

I seriously don't understand touchscreen laptops

pure garnet
#

idk what else they’d have changed

edgy laurel
#

feels so awkward

pure garnet
#

i liked having a touch screen on campus for scrolling

edgy laurel
#

and convertibles aren't great either because desktop OS's suck for touch

pure garnet
#

but it was also a matte display

edgy laurel
#

but maybe i haven't given them enough time

pure garnet
#

i use the touch screen during the windows install iirc because my thinkpad trackpad doesn’t work without a driver the iso doesn’t have

topaz veldt
#

no they suck

#

I have a 2-in-1 work laptop I have never, ever, folded it over

edgy laurel
#

tbh I kinda want to remember to do that more just to see

topaz veldt
#

I always wanted to find a laptop at a meeting and fold it over.... when its not a convertible

edgy laurel
#

mine is just.. a fucking 17" tank

and just ... CRUNCH.>CRACK... blank stare

edgy laurel

topaz veldt

have you ever seen "I think you should be leaving"?

edgy laurel

just looked it up, don't think so

its a comedy but theres an episode where the dude is meeting someone for a job inteview at like a starbucks and wants to not look bad, so it pulls on a door thats "push to open" and the guy and interviewee make eye contact... and he just continues to pull.... even though its a push

edgy laurel
#

HAHA

topaz veldt

and just like eye locks and rips the door open despite its amazing

YES - I want to do that but with a laptop

rich idol
#

What's the risk with updating bios? I heard that it has potential to cause hardware incompatibility and then i'd have to roll back to a previous version or something

edgy laurel
#

board death, if you want the risk

rich idol
#

the bios version my motherboard shipped with is version 3072 and the current version from asus is 3287

edgy laurel
#

the reality is by simply doing it right this is not a concern

pure garnet
#

unless you have the worlds crappiest am4 board it’s a non issue

rich idol
#

TUF GAMING B650-PLUS WIFI

pure garnet
#

a lot of the low end am4 boards has to strip old cpu support to have new cpu support

#

yeah there’s no issue updating that thing

edgy laurel
#

(nearly) all AM5 boards have flashback and specific instructions to follow. I do it fresh out of the box before ever using the PC

pure garnet
#

flashback should be mandated by both oems

rich idol
#

yeah i was thinking of using the flashback feature where the board just needs power and nothing else, already formatted my drive to fat32

edgy laurel
#

amd did us a solid and enforcing it this gen

#

so all you need are the specific instructions for your vendor

#

i've flashed my current board ~15 times

rich idol
#

there shouldn't be any issue with using a 64gb drive formatted to fat32 right?

#

i don't have any 32gig ones lying around, and tomorrows sunday so i can't go out and buy a new one at a local vendor

edgy laurel
#

shouldnt, but flashback and newer 3.0 drives aren't always perfect

#

why I keep an old 8GB USB2 drive around dedicated for BIOS flashing

rich idol
#

it's a PNY USB-A 3.1 thumbstick, dunno when i bought it

edgy laurel
#

i bought a 128GB USB-C thumbdrive because it was a good deal.. i've never used it

#

so i get it

rich idol
#

actuall ywait my thumbstick that i use to print out my photos with at the photo store is 16gb, i'll just use that instead, i have no idea what generation USB it is though

edgy laurel
#

either or

#

important bit is following the specific board vendor instructions for naming the file correctly

#

differs between them

rich idol
#

it's a "sandisk cruzer blade" apparently that's 2.0

rich idol
edgy laurel
#

yes, asus makes it easy. unzip the download and run the renamer

#

then drag just the renamed ROM file to the USB alone

pure garnet
#

asus is smart enough you can also just leave the bios update on your ssd and do it from there

#

not flashback but a regular flash

#

msi is too, gigabyte is the only one i’ve had to get an mbr usb out for so far

edgy laurel
#

insert into board, flip on PSU, DO NOT POWER ON THE PC, press and hold the BIOS flash button till the LED starts blinking and wait

oblique hollow
#

Can anyone answer me in tech support

edgy laurel
#

when it stops blinking, you're free to power off the PSU, pull the USB then go back to normal

#

I usually wait another minute after the LED stops blinking

#

but i'm paranoid

rich idol
#

so is it safer to go with the 16GB 2.0 drive over the 64GB 3.1 drive in regards to the fat32 formatting or should it not really matter?

pure garnet
#

i’d use the 16gb

edgy laurel
#

not a matter of safety, the USB stick you pick won't damage anything

#

either the flash starts or it doesn't

pure garnet
#

does big fat 32 require a different driver

#

that’s the only difference it’d have really

rich idol
#

i suppose i'm then also fine formatting with windows' built in formatting tools, since that tool only freaks out about fat32 if the drive's size exceeds 32gb

edgy laurel
#

but yes smaller the better

rich idol
#

i've never actually seen a fully modular power supply before, this things' cool

topaz veldt
#

wow

since when is this a thing

it only goes to the creator himself

who uploaded the video

thats the part that wasn't clear, since I wasn't sure who the uploader was

in that case being all shrouds pov I guess it was him

should i replace the CMOS battery too or should the one that shipped with the motherboard be fine? my motherboard has a manufacturing date of january 2025

i tbink that the lowest that would boot is maybe 1024

but it wouldn’t turn on

wait awhile and it would

merry stirrup

theoretically

it just cooks

going to have to dust this board before it goes in the y40

and its just shitty BF6 being shit

btw floppa did you run aida on that 9133?

what do you test with for that? i’m just using ycruncher idk

edgy laurel

Eh, maybe. Maybe not. Way back when the only game that broke my 5800x's curve optimizer undervolt was Assassins Creed Valhalla. Everything was perfect but that game...

topaz veldt

worked for ryzen in the past so

merry stirrup

will be fine

topaz veldt
merry stirrup
#

12 hours of yc is not for the weak

merry stirrup
topaz veldt
#

I'd run it up front

edgy laurel
# topaz veldt what ya mean

Just I could could play everything fine at flat -30 but that game would crash every single time between 15-20 minutes in. Revert to defaults and it would play fine

topaz veldt
#

You'll see if the NGU/D2D is error correcting, not worth trying to stabilize it

merry stirrup
topaz veldt
#

like, the game was broken, nothing with the tune

topaz veldt
merry stirrup
#

3.4 ngu

#

my bad d2d

#

3.2ngu

topaz veldt
#

oh - yeah, thats fine, but what I mean is theres a crazy relationship between RAM OC and D2D

merry stirrup
#

oh i see

topaz veldt
#

like RAM will test stable but D2D can't do it anywhere near reasonable, think like... 6600 1:1 but if you go to 2200 FCLK it can't run 6600

merry stirrup
#

yeah

topaz veldt
#

but my experiences are that its way more finnicky

merry stirrup
#

9133 last night was on 200S boost clocks

#

so i’m only 200mhz up rn in yc for test

topaz veldt
#

and unless you get D2D to like ring to like 38, NGU 32, D2D 35-37, the memory OC is almost moot

merry stirrup
#

yeah i know lol learned that

topaz veldt
#

yeah its weird

merry stirrup
#

stock is way too slow which is why i swapped to 200S clocks

topaz veldt
#

yeah

merry stirrup
#

still slower than my 13900KS in ycruncher btw

topaz veldt
#

I got 143 GB/s with a leaned on NGU/D2D

merry stirrup
topaz veldt
#

at 9000 CL42

merry stirrup
#

nice

#

let’s see what i’m at

#

142

topaz veldt
#

It starts to become one of those cases like AM5 where its like do I run 6400 CL30 and possibly have shitty FCLK issues, or do I run 8000 CL32 and low vsoc with low FCLK

topaz veldt
merry stirrup
#

i don’t have tuned secondaries

topaz veldt
#

Granted I also don't know how the 265K vs 285K bw goes

merry stirrup
#

so this is expected to be slower

topaz veldt
#

yeah me either

merry stirrup
#

i’m at like twr 106 lol

topaz veldt
#

Mine are just preset secondaries

merry stirrup
#

seems fine

topaz veldt
#

@edgy laurel this is what i was talking about

merry stirrup
#

definitely not scientific but i don’t think it errors

oh yeah it’s just high bin chips

Word - I was gonna buy TGs heater

merry stirrup
#

i think it’s another 11700K vs 11900K situation, 270K has full cores enabled

#

the move for productivity people for sure

#

i wanted to get 40K r23 on this but it seems that i’m not getting that

#

maybe a bit ambitious but i haven’t played much so maybe

#

i got 38K but it seems like everyone else says that my pcores don’t move much

#

no matter however 38K is as good as the 13900KS

#

i need it to be faster in yc tho or im gonna cry

#

13900KS peak yc config (7600, crazy tuned) got like 1.25 (10^10) test speed

#

very very good beats most people’s 8000+ configs on it but i am at 9000

refresh has to be good for me to want i think
