100$ for shipping and it still took 3 days
as bad
4.2 is 7700 iirc
err, 6 core
just a shitty 4
look for an 8700 minimum if this is the route you have to take
it said quad in the listing btw
oh my bad
i just work with the hp units so i was going off what i remembered from work
If someone can find me a business computer please DM me and it has to be from Amazon as I've previously said š ššš šš
just tell your mom the mini pc is for business
Already tried. First thing I did try!
Part List - Intel Core i3-12100F, Arc A580, Cooler Master Q300L V2 MicroATX Mini Tower
hm
sir weāve hit the second hour
maybe i can resell the master
thatās what iām 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
200-300 max
Keep in mind that some of those office pcs use cases that might not fit a normal GPU
i paid 250 for it so if i can
get close to that itās not a horrible idea
And motherboards that are wack and not really compatible with anything
that pc is so old itās probably not proprietary yet
oh
all 12vo atp
yeah please get the mini pc bro
unless workstation like precision or Z series
youāre gonna have a big ole box of disappointment for the birthday
but even then both of mine are
my Z240 wasnāt i donāt think and thatās at least 6th gen?
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?
8th Gen or new Intel cpu
best i can find that will fit a gpu
this convo isnāt real
youre in Ireland??

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
damn
hello akn i am a new man with z890
I've had CNN enabled for Cyberpunk instead of Transformer
look at this shit bro
LOL
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!
molex to 6 pin
not hard, thatās by far the best option you can actually get that anyone sent so far
8th gen, it even officially supports w11 unlike the ones you were going to get lol
make a free bootable Win 11 install USB stick, boot to it, install it.
doing a new playthrough and noticed smth was off
Well thank you for the help I very much appreciate it with my limited restricting aspects šššš thank you!
we literally throw away the computer you were going to buy for 300$ off amazon at work
will have to play this on the G5, whenever that comes
if that indicates its age and or quality any better
XD
avx10.2 support bro
and by throw away that means goes into floppas car
basically yes
anything cool enough or i could probably find a use for
i donāt like throwing away things with a genuine use id rather it go to someone who needs it or use it myself
iāve given away all but one of the pcs i got from work
I wonder how cyberpunk looks on an S90D hmm
for reals
the prime and ocf actually look very good together
id show but on the test bed thereās just no way for it to look actually presentable
https://a.co/d/aziEwHz could buy a mini PC with a laptop rtx 3060
thereās a record with my board on hwbot that just has it buried in a pile of garbage
Floppa/ with everything in my list except the PC what is the updated verdict!
this is basically that
ditch the noctua
can i use this as a cannonball?
that board isnāt doing 3200
16GB and more storage on a pc of that caliber is probably preferred
itāll be locked to 2400 or whatever jedec is
yeah i think ur right
@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?
you will probably need a power supply adaptor to plug in the 3050
dell usually uses q chipsets so itāll just straight up blocked from xmp at all
or if that one doesnāt have an external connector youāre fine
60% keyboards should not have entered the mainstream
when you say a profile, a profile on what?
buy things for it that you can carry to other systems
HDR calibration tool
shit ddr4 ram is not one of those
buy a 40%
a good 1tb ssd is
Oh. Yeah I suppose you can. I've never even thought to name them but you can do that too
tech chat 1: when i try to type q it sometimes presses tab
yeah I would prefer that over draggin my PC to the living room
actually, how are you going to calibrate it without plugging it in directly
Floppa/ All right any ram recommendations kind of affordable? Since the rain probably isn't going to work for this?
the ram that comes with it is fine
16GB is more than enough at least for this
limited by other factors sooner
Game palworld
I mean shouldn't it treat it like I am connected to the S90D? So then I can just do the tool?
you thinking calibrate it through moonlight? Thats an interestin concept..
used ddr4 that you can buy yourself is a better option later on
yeah
55$ is crazy for 16gb
To infinity and beyond I guess, uncharted space
Hmm, I mean I suppose that could work. Give it a go!
yeah basically
oh LMAOOO
and they used a bucket of water as a radiator
holy optimal
please go find that sub
me or the insane setup this guy is talking about
iām trying to see this because thatās optimal fr
30 more minutes until i change more timings
a board covered in garbage running a cpu that's cooled by a dirty bucket of water
sleeping beauty over here
it sounds quite peak
i love my b760m mortar
i mean my z790 mpower oops
Game: palworld
[Sorry really not trying to be bothered] ššš
(Updated specs except for the ram which I told was bad)
get rid of the fan and try and get a monitor tbh
oh lord brother thatās a chiller setup lol
the rad is just submerged
the water isnāt the rad
but this looks trrrible
whatās with the old ass board rhere
also he has a single(probably) stage why isnāt he using that š
Interesting power strip setup
bro ts has probably been ran thru more than a certain lady named mia
i kind of want to keep it so i keep the whole 2 computer thing but a cpu upgrade for free for my sister is also kinda cool
What monitor is the best / cheapest and would work for power world amongst other games on steam!
and arl refresh fund
(realistically more chicken sandwich)
AOC have some cheap, alright monitors
alright so basically iām gonna end my life
it would be funny if 2 ks blew up in it
probably heat with that refresh
itās not
38.5c max dimm temp
it donāt get much better than that
i bet twtrl
this is why i shouldnāt have shotgun clocked
cause now i have to gamble up to like 12 hours before finding the right timing
just for you tho
changes so i donāt forget:
ok see u in 3 hours ig
disappointing af but it couldnāt have gone perfectly the whole time

i donāt like when it errors so late
Worst kind of errors
i think my tomahawk is killing cpus floppa
thatās why i want to return x3d
bc x870e apex is like a zillion dollars
why do we suspect this
same issues occurring on stock 9800x3d
i would rather just go get my money back tomorrow
When did you buy it btw?
which
X3D
the x3d? like a week ago
Ah ok
itās just failing to enter sleep rn sometimes
but the last one ended up unusable unstable

a friend of mine is wondering if combining a RX7700XT with a Ryzen 5 5600G will cause some sort of bottleneck, and if it does how severe is it?
All PCs have bottle necks
Mine has infinite peformance
What type of screw do I need for this m.2 slot screw in? I tried the smallest I screw they had gave me and it didnāt work.
gonna sit on my porch staring at the driver

should i get arc raiders idk
yeah
but you should get on battlefield
why
fire game

thatās what i did even though i presigned
you have no idea how hyped i was bro i bet i looked like a puppy waiting for his owner to come home
getting a package is so hype
sat by the door the entire day when my PS5 was out for delivery
unacceptable
cirlce š„
it'll haunt me to the end of my days (till it arrives)
i love cirlce
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
maybe the mb or case audio is broken
could be anything from EMI to a short within a cable
The case audio was working fine, I just hate the very slight constant static within my ears whenever I plug it into the back
I had it in the front for a while but one day I pulled it off to troubleshoot my mic
buy a $5-10 dac if you can afford that if drivers didnāt help nor a full clean windows reinstall
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
which case is it
Just bought a small form factor PC and Iām getting it configured⦠but I see āsome settings are managed by your organizationā when modifying my taskbar icons???
Uhh⦠should I be worried?
My MB came with a package installed on it, I deleted it without second thought but it was the gigabyte software
the popular one, the o11D
its cold tonight
yes, windows detects it and everything. I tried reinstalling drivers so lemme restart brb
kk gl, ima go sleep
yeah reinstalling drivers somehow kicked it back into working
you should reinstall the os
esp if it's a used product
When I turned it on, it was the windows 11 initial startup
Honestly the speed of this thing sucks. I might wipe and return
LOL 100% LESGOOOOO šÆ šÆ šÆ šÆ šÆ
Bought it ābrand newā off Amazon
wtf is a 9120C
Never heard of it either. Itās Lenovo
a series trash before ryzen
Iām going to update it, see how it behaves, and if I hate it (probably will) Iām going to wipe and return
no it's from 2019
its some weird chromebook soc
Iām wondering why it says my āorganizationā manages some settings, despite having a Windows 11 initial setup where I did the BYPASSNRO thing.
Yep I remember using some Chromebooks with that SOC back in high school lol
Iām probably going to return this thing, quote a new price, and build a better one.
The businessā 6th gen Dell mini pc runs faster than this
oof
LOL
first gen intel runs faster than this
i have an a9 9420 laptop
Holy shit itās been 10 minutes and itās 3% through downloading a windows defender security update
Yeah screw this
i always feel like i have too many background programs running, but it really does not matter
modded mc is taking all of my 16gb ram
Yeah Iām resetting this. Returning it, etc.
i believe it, i was using up 16GB in Modded MC in 2017 :p
terrafirmagreg
16GB kinda stretchin it in 2025
If it makes you feel better I average out to 24gb sometimes goes to 34 but not often.
I use my ram lol

AT&T seriously needs to improve their 5G network. All Iām gonna say
raa
who the hell usin att in 2025 aside from cheapskate companies and local governments handing out fleet phones
T-Mobile and Verizon has more 5G capacity than AT&T.
That is true.
Iām hard pressed to get 1,000 Mbps download here from AT&T but on T-Mobile I can absolutely get that speed in more spots. Sometimes getting 1,500-2,000 Mbps downloads.

AT&T is doing fantastic in the fiber space but they canāt neglect their 5G network
Fantastic how?
I have 8 x 100 Gbps AT&T connections that go down multiple times a day
Iām talking like residential people lol. If AT&T deploys fiber in an area where thereās a cable operator obviously they will gain market share
Windows Defender is trying to tell you something
lol. Gonna return it. Gonna look at other options.
Customer satisfaction is definitely lower for people on coax from the cable operators
yeah cable is buns
aren't you on 5g?

@shell void you mentioned before you had a 5950x or do have one right now, have you ever tested it with 4x32 sticks and what where there speeds?
or acually
@merry stirrup you have a kink for ram
as i really wanted to get the best of the best not only on x299 but am4
ill skip am5 and just wait for my main to go 1m6 when zen 7 ddr6 and allat jazz
I'm guessing ddr6 will take a while to come out, not with am6 right? Or does the am naming scheme follow ddr?
HALO IS SO BACK?
also ps5?
Am4 lasted all of ddr4, am5 is pledged to last for several more years, it might
I think am2/3 mixed a bit
AM2 was DDR2, AM3/AM3+ was DDR3
but there were CPUs which could run in both AM2 and AM3
Phenom II to be specific was both AM2 and AM3 compatible

I am⦠spoiled by gigabit internet

do you not have gigabit normally>
same to you š
like the speed aināt even that bad but the latency holy shit
Satellite internet is a mistake 
jesus fuck
thats some geostationary orbit level of ass
thats the equivalent of 1 bar internet in general
i read the jitter as ping
i was like what are you complaining about thats not terrible
this is my phone data. LTE.. no 5G out here..
run a fiberoptic cable from your home to your parents house :p
oh jerry
real
hi gulity
one day you'll get the "does this make any sense?" thought right before typing things š
It makes perfect sense
Ubiquiti dishes
Do those work at 250 miles
No
welp
I'll stick with my 2gig fiber
my router is only gigabit 
I upgraded mine to 2.5gbe
Idk what kind of routing/switching capacity I can do but I can probably go higher
It's Skylake 6500, so, maybe 10gig?
5gig?
if I ever actually build a NAS I might upgrade but
Meh
Unless you work from home and that work requires heavy data sync between computers at home, gigabit is all you really need for a home network
i need muh 2Gb fiber, the new ISP needs to hurry up bro this is getting ridiculous
free me from cellular internet
If you have to wait a minute once and a while you'll survive. Go grab a glass or water or do some stretches while waiting for an occasional data transfer
max plan always š£ļø
no but 250miles of fiberoptic cable would
My max plan is 50Gbps
who the hell offers 50Gb residential?
pay and get anything
I think I can get 2Gb at home but itās copper
oh I lied. Fiber ISP offers 2gb too
crazy
5gb is their fastest "typical" service plan
damn thatās only $5 more than what my ISP wants for 2Gb
not bad
how much is the 10Gb? i see it comes with an included static ipv4
hmmmm
wrong photo twin
Slow ass file system
ah hugely more
should have been 170
Yeah, 5gig is the highest regular style plan
I can pay an extra $10 a month for a static IP if I want
makes sense, the 2Gb and 5Gb options are probably PON
10gig they gotta build a pipe
but like⦠I donāt lol
PON you, bro
Idk what PON is
basically a passive fiber splitter that a bunch of homes share
therell be like 8-64 people sharing one uplink depending on how the ISP builds it out
I virtually guarantee it
There's some people in this neighborhood that get Comcast which is so much worse for internet
I guess it's cause they want proper cable
But Ziply is too OP
My ISP was recently bought by T Mobileās Fiber line
cable is even worse about this, there can be like 200 people sharing one uplink
Mine was bought by Canada
The community fiber in my city (I'm not in their service area so I can't get it) has a weird pricing ladder
that's similar to what my pricing will be once it's finally available
The 2gb plan makes no sense
I'd probably just stick to 1gig if I had HiLight
id probably take the 5Gb if those were my options
Meh, I'm not home enough to need more than a gig if I'm being honest
I have 2gig because I can
Not because it's necessary or financially sensible
it's nice to have more than youll ever need
how much is the 50gig?
cheap

lotta car for nearly half the msrp

Is L-Connect 3 known for not remembering fan profiles after shutoff?
this is true but
still 10 more hours for you to tune until sleep time
i may or may not play video games
i gotta work on getting the cpu itself faster
i just like computers is why
i probably could get away without a gpu
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 donāt like you overclocking
why

why don't you like me overclocking

lobster and french fries? that's unique
yeah agree - my wife picked up one also and i thought itd be like terrible compared to my mbp 14 and its... not
relatively high ppi and glossy goes a long way
yeah its totally fine
oled dimms bro
the speakers are where i was like eh
i have the m1 pro 14 and my sister has the m4 air and i didnāt really notice the screen downgrade setting it up
iād imagine on pure black screen itād be night and day though
I don't think the m1 pro 14 and m4 mbp are the same screen tho
Would you rather have a OLED MacBook Air or a touchscreen mini led MacBook Air
oled
ipad pro screen on MBP will end worlds
nothing but smears
whaaat
touchscreens are so gross
minus the touch aspect, apple wouldn't do that anyway
oh, yeah, take the touch off, all good
I seriously don't understand touchscreen laptops
itās still miniled
idk what else theyād have changed
feels so awkward
i liked having a touch screen on campus for scrolling
and convertibles aren't great either because desktop OS's suck for touch
but it was also a matte display
but maybe i haven't given them enough time
i use the touch screen during the windows install iirc because my thinkpad trackpad doesnāt work without a driver the iso doesnāt have
tbh I kinda want to remember to do that more just to see
I always wanted to find a laptop at a meeting and fold it over.... when its not a convertible
mine is just.. a fucking 17" tank
and just ... CRUNCH.>CRACK... blank stare
LOL
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
and just like eye locks and rips the door open despite its amazing
YES - I want to do that but with a laptop
the hinges snapping
lol yes
To use like a tablet for the wired artist people
"See?"
Maybe I liked touch screen laptops so much because our school laptop track pads where ass in the 2016s

I need more people to watch A House of Dynamite
epic and tense as fuck.. for the first 1/3. And then not.. and you'll just have to see why. Hugely let down even though I understand why
looking it up
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
board death, if you want the risk
the bios version my motherboard shipped with is version 3072 and the current version from asus is 3287
the reality is by simply doing it right this is not a concern
unless you have the worlds crappiest am4 board itās a non issue
TUF GAMING B650-PLUS WIFI
a lot of the low end am4 boards has to strip old cpu support to have new cpu support
yeah thereās no issue updating that thing
(nearly) all AM5 boards have flashback and specific instructions to follow. I do it fresh out of the box before ever using the PC
flashback should be mandated by both oems
yeah i was thinking of using the flashback feature where the board just needs power and nothing else, already formatted my drive to fat32
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
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
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
it's a PNY USB-A 3.1 thumbstick, dunno when i bought it
i bought a 128GB USB-C thumbdrive because it was a good deal.. i've never used it
so i get it
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
either or
important bit is following the specific board vendor instructions for naming the file correctly
differs between them
it's a "sandisk cruzer blade" apparently that's 2.0
ASUS provides a batch file that renames the file for me, so i don't even have to worry about that
yes, asus makes it easy. unzip the download and run the renamer
then drag just the renamed ROM file to the USB alone
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 iāve had to get an mbr usb out for so far
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
Can anyone answer me in tech support
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
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?
iād use the 16gb
not a matter of safety, the USB stick you pick won't damage anything
either the flash starts or it doesn't
does big fat 32 require a different driver
thatās the only difference itād have really
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
but yes smaller the better
wow
what
not seen this feature before
wheres it say that
Pretty recently
I want to say a couple weeks ago
huh. neat I guess
it was the new update
wonder how that works for ad-rev
i'm so confused, this is all shrouds pov so whos video is this
Some people say a few years ago I personally only saw it last year
its done externally
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
lool
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

its shroud the link u sent
I was mistaken I saw it in August not last year.
you aboslutely do not need to replace that
But people said it was around before that
thank you
i love adding more heat to my heat sensitive components
i would not be mad if all dimms were ugly no heatsink parts
yeah just set trefi to 5 problem solved
LMAO
melting point stable
do stuff for 5 cycles then wait for 500-600 i like this
i tbink that the lowest that would boot is maybe 1024
but i dunno
register min is probably 1
but it wouldnāt turn on
wait awhile and it would
theoretically
it just cooks
going to have to dust this board before it goes in the y40
i ended up with a 1.02 (which i think is latest) btw so you probably will too @pure garnet
board rev^
whats all that red light
just red lights
is it part of hte board?
rgb on the board you can change it
oh ok
itās gonna look really good in a rig
I have no idea why Discord defaulted me to months ago, but I do in fact still exist ='D
Been here and there and since October totally not been cooped up playing Final Fantasy 14 again.. xD
i have lots of things to do before it goes into my case
and itās not even here so
i need to mod in a clear cmos header and evc the card
im so glad my like 10 hour stable 9000 CL42 tune doesn't break in gaming
and its just shitty BF6 being shit
no interconnect tune yet iām doing it rn
now it all falls apart lol
what do you test with for that? iām just using ycruncher idk
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...
R23, ycruncher, occt
worked for ryzen in the past so
what ya mean
iām just gonna do ycruncher forever and maybe an hour of occt
will be fine
Run AIDA to watch for fabric errors
12 hours of yc is not for the weak
okie when itās done doing the thing
I'd run it up front
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
You'll see if the NGU/D2D is error correcting, not worth trying to stabilize it
iām only 200mhz above 200S boost rn so
No this was BF6 legit broken
like, the game was broken, nothing with the tune
wait, 200 on what
oh - yeah, thats fine, but what I mean is theres a crazy relationship between RAM OC and D2D
oh i see
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
yeah
but my experiences are that its way more finnicky
9133 last night was on 200S boost clocks
so iām only 200mhz up rn in yc for test
and unless you get D2D to like ring to like 38, NGU 32, D2D 35-37, the memory OC is almost moot
yeah i know lol learned that
yeah its weird
stock is way too slow which is why i swapped to 200S clocks
yeah
still slower than my 13900KS in ycruncher btw
I got 143 GB/s with a leaned on NGU/D2D
sadly
at 9000 CL42
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
I want to see that like 143-144, otherwise, just run 9000 CL42
i donāt have tuned secondaries
Granted I also don't know how the 265K vs 285K bw goes
so this is expected to be slower
yeah me either
iām at like twr 106 lol
Mine are just preset secondaries
my bad 78 but still not great
seems fine
@edgy laurel this is what i was talking about
definitely not scientific but i donāt think it errors
remember I said "its apples to oranges"? literally everything is like... not comparable
Turning off expo fixed this for me if you're on AMD
I have full fat OS with Outlook installed I got like 67ns
That's not my issue but thanks
seems good then
i hope the ocf resolves this for me
how do you know?
otherwise i may try another 265k
me too, itās odd yours is so low, i havent even tested hard but i can boot 4ghz d2d
Because its on a 285K 5090 and a 9950X3D 5090 lol
And I fixed it, and it had nothing to do with tunes
no no no wait for refresh and buy top end sku with me and snail
well it was bipolar stable on auto voltages
1v1v1
@edgy laurel notice the error mentioning a D:...
I am thinking of buying another 265K so we can play parallel
less money overall if we just wait for refresh cause i plan on top end anyways
but thatās up to you
Or a 245K lol and uncut you
yeah
was i supposed to be worried about my delidded chip
I won't mess with delid again unless I go like chiller and all
iām no longer scared that if i bump my computer just right itāll kill itself
lol yup
i just slapped the ihs back on no glue and let it be
i think on 6/7th there was literally no smds under the ihs
how I killed two P3s back when
99% sure, i delidded my 7700k
oh fair probably
all i did was tape 2 little pads off on mine and called it good
i just slapped the lid on
i do the same
if my grandma kills the 6700k it is what it is
13900Ks doesnāt have glue or anything
Floppa do you think the delid tool will work on future gen
i already cooked that chip
probably not but you never know
i think something will be different enough for it not to work
well i mean refresh
oh yeah itās just high bin chips
Word - I was gonna buy TGs heater
i think itās 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 iām not getting that
maybe a bit ambitious but i havenāt played much so maybe
i got 38K but it seems like everyone else says that my pcores donāt 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 peopleās 8000+ configs on it but i am at 9000
this also includes 5.9 4.5 5.0
yeah but buying another 265K lol
we are allowed to just buy things
well presumbly i could resell it
bro my closet is just hardware
i guesss
embrace hobby
my room gonna look like bzs bro
overclocker
gonna look like my basement
my goal from the beginning
Intel 1851 Mycro dd is kind of sick
moving cross country with a car just full of motherboards
iām staying away from delid this gen
yeah prob not worth it overall
nvl probably not cause 52c is not going to be cold
yeah
delidding a 265k seems like theatre
iāll keep being cheap and avoiding custom loop
it's not even the full glue
and just delid under an aio
my 265k was on air last time 
jeeesus
it'll be on same aio as u though now
temps matter a lot for mem oc btw
not like, -20c from current youāll be able to boot way higher but
yeah i need to sort out a ram fan mount
