[pure garnet]

i mean it wasn't bad on the d15s at all tbh

[merry stirrup]

hm okie

[topaz veldt]

what about delid for LM

[merry stirrup]

what you mean

delid for liquid metal? i am lost

[topaz veldt]

put IHS back on but LM

vs the indium

[merry stirrup]

yes that’s what you do broski

that’s what i do i dont dd

[pure garnet]

is that really gonna be that much better than the existing stuff

[topaz veldt]

nah vs direct die cooling

[topaz veldt]

thats what im wondering

[merry stirrup]

you get -15-20c easy

yes because it’s thinner

[pure garnet]

i leave that one up to you floppa

i'm keeping my lid on

[merry stirrup]

dawg i can cool 390w on a 13900KS on a china aio

i’d say it’s proven

[merry stirrup]

like, no thermal throttling cool

[topaz veldt]

but how does it compare to DD

[merry stirrup]

like, run for 12 hours 390w

[pure garnet]

i need to buy an aio for the 12900ks if i get mpower

[merry stirrup]

worse, a lot worse, but it’s way cheaper

you probably lose another 10c+

[pure garnet]

even on alder temps aren't great with the 280 i had

[topaz veldt]

Its cool how the 1851 Mycro goes down

[merry stirrup]

no ilm (besides the block) is dope

[topaz veldt]

well it also just attaches top down w/ the contact frame screws

so its not as sketchy

[merry stirrup]

oooo

very sick

i hope and pray refresh gets good core clocks

i am disappointed at 5.2 stock i will not lie

i care more about the number than how efficient it is during that clock

probably a me thing but

[pure garnet]

yeah well im at 4ghz rn 🤑

[merry stirrup]

💀💀

[pure garnet]

i didnt feel like putting master in so i got the 7800x3d in "please last till tuesday" tune

[topaz veldt]

5.2 which

[merry stirrup]

p

[topaz veldt]

oh damn

surely you can turn that up?

[merry stirrup]

that’s all core but it’s still bad

[topaz veldt]

I am running 57 all core

[merry stirrup]

i tried 5.4 but i’m bricked so give me a week

no platform knowledge

care more about mem and interconnect for now

i want to get close to the 13900Ks without any core tuning

cause i know ecores are strong and are going to inflate my test speed

what voltages affect ngu and d2d?

sa and annon?

[pure garnet]

yeah but you gotta turn on the workaround

or it'll have cold boot issues

[merry stirrup]

only at high annon i thought

like >.9somerhing

i’m at .8 i think just cause i knew somewhat it helped and haven’t had problems so far

i think the asrock method is pre and post training voltages btw i haven’t looked hatd

read on the forum that asrock has a similar feature and called it good

[topaz veldt]

E is where the benchmarks shine anyway

[topaz veldt]

Yes, and there's a ring voltage

[merry stirrup]

okie

[topaz veldt]

1v vannon is kinda the go to

[hoary hatch]

Hold up

Flops has z890?

[topaz veldt]

Yes

Seemingly good 265K sample

[hoary hatch]

Nice

[topaz veldt]

There's a crazy price on the Asrock ocf

Z890 apex too but it's more $

[pure garnet]

yeah ocf is priced like a no brainer rn

330 vs 600

[topaz veldt]

Z890 apexer is only $460 also

[pure garnet]

oh yeah microcenter

[merry stirrup]

something like that

yay i get to post this again

[hoary hatch]

Oh assrock

[merry stirrup]

it’s uefi is bad but the board itself is magnificent

[pure garnet]

memory oc shield

[merry stirrup]

the urge to peel it

i want to SO bad

[pure garnet]

bros gonna have a 2 dimm oc board that does mac speeds

[merry stirrup]

incredible

m.2ez latch thing is weird

[shell void]

why do u wanna brick it so bad

[merry stirrup]

also there’s no fucking manual in the box

[shell void]

u finally have a good board that isn’t jank

[merry stirrup]

so i had to fiddle with it like a monkey

just to put an ssd in 😭

[merry stirrup]

good board:
not jank: 🚫

[regal wigeon]

What are these for they came with a gigabyte aorus elite b850

[merry stirrup]

it’s asrock you can’t take the jank out of asrock

i’m sure i will find something weird

well i mean i can’t boot above 48 tcl lol

[turbid locust]

flopper are you running green sticc

[hoary hatch]

It's just a bit too fiddly to be convenient

[pure garnet]

hit delete at start up

there's the weird

[indigo walrus]

Page 25 of your motherboard user manual contains the answers you seek.

[regal wigeon]

I read that already and I still don’t understand exact placement

[merry stirrup]

what

[pure garnet]

the bios

[merry stirrup]

that’s normal for even asus

[pure garnet]

the shitty bios is the weird part

[merry stirrup]

ohhh

[old stone]

PC doesn't boot up even though my PSU supplies power to the motherboard (the light is on) and it powers on my RGB keyboard, anyone knows a fix?

[merry stirrup]

yeah bios isn’t good

[old stone]

lowkey frustruating..

[merry stirrup]

it’s not confusing though

least things are in the spot they’re supposed to be now

[regal wigeon]

Does the pad for the double soded SSD is sit on those thicker black pads?

[indigo walrus]

What do you mean "pad for the double sided SSD" - are you talking about an NVMe SSD that comes with it's own thermal pad? (If you're uncertain, a photo showing exactly what you're asking about might help.)

[regal wigeon]

I misspelled sided

I thought I sent this already my bad

And the 4tb drive is double sided but does not have an thermal pads under it

This is the extra pad along with the previous photo of those squares

[indigo walrus]

Those look installed correctly to me... The only reason you might use the little rubber pads included with the motherboard are to support the underside of the M.2 drives so they don't press down further than they're supposed to if you / something pushes on them.

[regal wigeon]

Will this orientation work for an out of case test? Never used an AIO before

[merry stirrup]

looks fine

i’ve got worse atm

and it’s been functioning for multiple days

[edgy laurel]

you've got the pump as the lowest point so yes

[rich idol]

Is it okay to use a Y cable to connect both my heatsink fans to the CPU header?

[edgy laurel]

yes, which is why most all dual tower coolers come with one

[rich idol]

one of my noctua fans came with one too for whatever reason

i ordered 7 fans but only one of them came with a splitter

[edgy laurel]

all mainline Noctua fans (not Redux) come with one

what you usually get in every box

[rich idol]

ah, that explains it, the 80 MM fan i ordered was the only one that wasn't a redux fan

[edgy laurel]

But if you're talkin about a CPU cooler, one comes in the cooler box

so both CPU fans can be connected to the same header

Redux is their "cheap" line

[rich idol]

i noticed

[pure garnet]

i don't think any of my a12s did

might be a g2 thing

[edgy laurel]

Really? My old A12's did

[edgy laurel]

maybe a chromax thing?

[pure garnet]

yeah looks like non chromax does

[rich idol]

what i thought was kinda cool is the thermal paste that came with my cooler came in a tube unstead of being pre-applied

[edgy laurel]

instead you get colored corners that no one uses

[pure garnet]

hey i use them

:(

[edgy laurel]

thats a first lol

[indigo walrus]

Same with the batch of fans I stuck in my current PC build. $$$ but quiet and filled with accessories.

[pure garnet]

i use the white ones since box is white

[edgy laurel]

so many accessories

[frank zealot]

For a thoroughly random stat:

The audience at the Rocky show I just tech'd threw literally over 28 miles of TP around the theater

[edgy laurel]

Actually they were A12's i bought a while ago

er, F

also it seems Noctua's site got an overhaul

its MUCH faster and easier to navigate

i used to hate going there, it was so slow

[rich idol]

can i turn off RAM rgb in BIOs? I picked an RGB pair cause it was the cheapest CL29 2x32 gig RAM kit i could find, but i don't much care for the RGB

[frank zealot]

I always just assumed that it was super foreign and shitty pipe

[edgy laurel]

i did too

[pure garnet]

no you need software

[edgy laurel]

not typically, no.

OpenRGB can probably shut it off and you won't need to leave it running

[rich idol]

gotcha

[frank zealot]

Or SignalRGB

[edgy laurel]

but it'll likely turn itself back for.. reasons.. every so often

[pure garnet]

if it's trident z the trident z app is super tiny

no reason to download one of the big ones

[edgy laurel]

OpenRGB is tiny and doesn't run in the background. I wouldn't sugest signal for this, far too large and complex

but yes the vendor app works too

[rich idol]

i might leave it be then, chances are i won't even notice it unless i turn off the lights in my room, the side it would be visible from is likely going to face the wall

[topaz veldt]

@edgy laurel dynamite is intense

[pure garnet]

i mean it'll be off when you shut the pc off

[edgy laurel]

you finish it?

[pure garnet]

the gskil app is too barebones to be bloatware

[indigo walrus]

😮 it's WAY more functional now. Love it!

[topaz veldt]

Not yet, negative impact

[edgy laurel]

let me know when you realize. you'll know what i mean

[regal wigeon]

So when installing the mother board with an AIO what’s the easiest way to do it? Do I leave the AIO attached like with an air cooler or do them separately

[edgy laurel]

if its already attached, removing it to install the board would be a waste of time

just install the board as normal

how you manage the lines and rad during this process we can't explain in words, you'll just have to figure it out

but we do it all the time

obviously the case will need to be flat on its side

[brittle trellis]

They may take forever to do things but damn they do it well

[topaz veldt]

Oh man you have me hooked

Panic ensues

[edgy laurel]

yeahhhhhh but

you'll see

[topaz veldt]

What could it be lol

Ok watching

[edgy laurel]

how far are you?

[topaz veldt]

Dude taking son in car

[edgy laurel]

ok come back in 2 minutes

[topaz veldt]

Chick told husband drive West

I'm so confused

[heavy mantle]

what

[edgy laurel]

multi PoV, but of what you already saw

[topaz veldt]

Ah ok I'm in stratcom now

[edgy laurel]

just make sure to finish it

if you're like most, you'll be feeling some kinda way

its good. maybe not what we want but good all the same

[wise bear]

I'm guessing movie?

[edgy laurel]

A House of Dynamite

[wise bear]

Added to the watchlist

[fringe vigil]

why am I seeing Black Friday has begun

[wise bear]

because its almost november

and black friday has essentially turned into a month of wishy-washy sales

instead a night or two of REALLY good sales

[south shuttle]

You haven't seen the EU

here retailers tend to do black fridays in middle of january, february, mar-

[wise bear]

weird

also why couldn't've asus made this power button a fingerprint reader too

[south shuttle]

I'm tired of the fake sales, they just raise prices and then slap a discount on it

Groceries also started really playing dirty with price, at first fruit and vegetables like cherries and peas were priced at kg/ then they started doing 500g, then 250g, now sketchy even with packed salmon, they display price per 100g (in smaller text ofc) but it's actually 300g package that you don't even have to weight yourself

[low sorrel]

I don't think i've ever seen a good black friday deal

[south shuttle]

one of the retailers like Billa also made some of their stores like a labyrinth, you gotta make a horseshoe pattern within the store to get from entrance to exit

they changed it tho due to a ton of complaints

[south shuttle]

Bankrupting retailers

best black friday ever and last open day for the company /j 🤣

I regret not buying more 2x24gb and 2x32gb kits from czc before it was shutdown by it's acquirer

[pure garnet]

i remember when people would tackle grandmas for cheap tvs

now it's like -30% max on something that got marked up a week prior

[south shuttle]

I got one 2x32gb 5200mt/s 5600mt/s cl36 or cl40? Kit (forgor) that had hynix dies

[edgy laurel]

https://tenor.com/view/southpark-shopping-black-friday-gif-4698508

[south shuttle]

but it turned out one of the sticks was ded

[south shuttle]

You mean stomp on kids

[pure garnet]

who took their kids to black friday

[south shuttle]

if you were a napoleon height in a black friday sale

[vocal plume]

"Go little timmy and bite his ankles"

[wise bear]

lmao

[shell void]

people do that for regularly priced pokemon cards now

[pure garnet]

i camped a gamestop pre open to get my switch 2

got there an hour early and just sat in the car

second the cage went up i went inside, purchased my console, and walked out

[wise bear]

I'm a bit flabbergasted tbh

[shell void]

im eatin some apple crisp rn and it's so unbelievably good

dr pepper zero on the side im livin life

[wise bear]

this fucking laptop, I'm running 3k120 on battlefield w/ everything maxxed with dlss+FG and it's a better exerience than my tower 😭

[pure garnet]

how are you liking the laptop?

[wise bear]

YES

[pure garnet]

is the oled good

[wise bear]

oh my god yes

[shell void]

3K? is it one of those 2880x1800 120Hz oled panels?

[wise bear]

yes

[shell void]

youre gonna have to get an oled monitor now dood

[wise bear]

😭

[south shuttle]

I sold my pokemon cards

[pure garnet]

the ips panel they used prior was the best binned thing i’ve owned so figured oled was similar in bin quality from them

[south shuttle]

i just wanted them gone

[fringe vigil]

order online?

[wise bear]

like my phone is amoled but I've never like, used an actual oled panel on windows and it's magical

[turbid locust]

someone give em the true dark windows mode

[wise bear]

this in 14" is NUTTY

wow holy washout

I forgot windows doesn't do hdr screenshots

[pure garnet]

your laptop has double my laptops vram

[wise bear]

:3

[pure garnet]

buying the 4050 model was kinda a mistake

but i only used the gpu for magic arena on campus

[wise bear]

I wanted to be able to play everything I own sans flight sims (because peripherals) when I have to travel

[turbid locust]

HDR settings in snipping tool boss

[wise bear]

ayo??

[pure garnet]

yeah that’s valid

mine was just like “i have an hour+ between classes? can i run more than chess?” machine

[wise bear]

lets try that again

[turbid locust]

laughs in forcing my 3500u laptop to use power limits and play games it wasn’t supposed to

[wise bear]

NICE it worked

thanks mac <3

[turbid locust]

[edgy laurel]

just say no to snipping tool entirely

[wise bear]

I refuse to use the fuckin game bar

[edgy laurel]

Alt-F1

[turbid locust]

guilty the HDR hipster

[pure garnet]

it’s not even on my windows install

ltsc 🔥

[turbid locust]

jokes on you my keyboard doesn’t have a dedicated F1 key

[pure garnet]

i need to reinstall windows again next week

curse the stupid moving platforms

[turbid locust]

yurrrr lol

[wise bear]

im still in awe that a 14" machine has a better playing exerience over my fucking tower

what the fuck

[pure garnet]

after the shipping debacle the ocf ended up being $145 cheaper than the x3d

not horrible i guess

[edgy laurel]

gamebar never given me a problem

[pure garnet]

gamebar hasn’t given me a problem but i don’t want it installed

[edgy laurel]

its tonemapped PNG's are still better than the blown out slop from snipping tool

[shell void]

laptop displays are op

[pure garnet]

i don’t use it

[turbid locust]

MSI where is my fricking MPOWER

[pure garnet]

halloween bro trust

[turbid locust]

istg

[pure garnet]

i’m gonna join u on leaving it on a shelf if i get one

[turbid locust]

oh mines getting an 8500G until Zen 6

[edgy laurel]

HDR gaming screenshot hierarchy: SpecialK > ReShade > Nvidia > Gamebar > snipping tool

[pure garnet]

if i can find one cheap maybe ill do that

but 7800x3d imc is locked

[turbid locust]

They’re like $150 new bro

[fringe vigil]

C5 oled hdr gaming gonna be lit

[pure garnet]

oh are they

[shell void]

youll never know

[fringe vigil]

Sybau

[indigo walrus]

I should hope so. If it wasn't lit, it wouldn't really work as an OLED display...

[pure garnet]

i’m gonna buy an oled tv before jorj

[edgy laurel]

Been at it for years now, it is

[pure garnet]

and i just bought a tv not that long ago

[edgy laurel]

the whole server will

[fringe vigil]

well see

I’m waiting for my birthday so I’ll buy next month

[wise bear]

jorj can't even get his hands on a gpu, let alone a decent display

[edgy laurel]

https://tenor.com/view/jim-carrey-laugh-evil-laugh-reaction-gif-18041736346511049506

[turbid locust]

nvm they’re like OOS everywhere apparently wtf

[pure garnet]

i’m not in a rush anyway

i might be getting the z790 mpower from floppa as the 4th owner

[turbid locust]

lol bro

[pure garnet]

that board is going round the world

[shell void]

yeah jorj has been talking about getting one for two years, and in that time there have been 5 other w-oled tvs bought by tech chat 2 chatters

5

[low sorrel]

expect for me

[pure garnet]

and 4 were akn

[low sorrel]

Maybe a monitor and never a TV

[shell void]

akn: 42" C4, 65" G5
mac: 42" C4
me: 42" C4, and previously 48" A2
guilty: 42" C2
snail: 65" G4

jorj: ❌

[edgy laurel]

akn has lost all control

(and we love that for him)

[low sorrel]

damn gulity an early adopter

I forgot he had C2

[edgy laurel]

don't forget his Scamsungs

[low sorrel]

I love scamsung

[pure garnet]

granted i went to best buy of all places but i think i care more about an oled tv over an oled monitor

[shell void]

true he bought two 65" S90Ds, and snail's mom got a 77" LG C5

[south shuttle]

Me: 🧀

[turbid locust]

they’re the same thing

[pure garnet]

idk in windows it didn’t impress me much

i used like 4-5 of them today

[low sorrel]

Jesus chirst what does snails mom need a 77in c5 for

[shell void]

mom deserves a good tv bro

[pure garnet]

might just be qd oled though

[edgy laurel]

shania twain immediately on the brain. fuck i'm old

[shell void]

qd oled monitors are unimpressive under store lighting

[pure garnet]

matte qd oled had me questioning if it was even oled

[turbid locust]

Only way I’m upgrading my C4 is if I get a significant refresh rate buff and preferably a resolution buff too

[pure garnet]

8k valorant

[turbid locust]

I’d be willing to go up to 48” too I think

[low sorrel]

also what is a semi-matte coating?

[edgy laurel]

[wise bear]

bah-na, na-na na, bah-na-na!!

[fringe vigil]

Shut up

[low sorrel]

all we need is for peyton to upgrade from mini led

[fringe vigil]

why you thinking im not getting one

[turbid locust]

but if 42” continues being an option I’d probably stick with it

[edgy laurel]

https://tenor.com/view/exactly-you-get-it-oliver-putman-loretta-durkin-martin-short-meryl-streep-gif-13755184397580694674

[wise bear]

My sister & I love that song lmao

[edgy laurel]

48"s match up nicely to vertical 27"s IIRC

[wise bear]

it was one of mom's favorites too

[low sorrel]

yeah

[edgy laurel]

also same

[turbid locust]

It does but 48” is big

[pure garnet]

if jorj buys an oled tv it’ll be an anomaly in time

[edgy laurel]

its just a running joke. up to you to end it

[wise bear]

keep in mind I'm also somewhat old at this rate so yeah, I get it

[turbid locust]

I could scoot my C4 back a good 4-5 inches on my desk tho

[low sorrel]

Just like gulity being a boomer

[fringe vigil]

sigh

[low sorrel]

aren't you 30 something

[pure garnet]

using my 4k tv for 480p content

[fringe vigil]

Yh so

[wise bear]

yeah im 30 in april

[low sorrel]

peyton when get on battlefield6

[shell void]

that desk is wayyyyyyyy too small for that

[wise bear]

potentially when this coffee kicks in more

[pure garnet]

that’s like my desk

[edgy laurel]

so i've got a decade on you lol

[low sorrel]

WHAT DO YOU MEAN COFFEE

[wise bear]

i just have it running in the campaign to bake in the laptop a bit

[edgy laurel]

it could be worse

[shell void]

ive talked to a guy that used a 75" TV on a 24" deep desk

[indigo walrus]

There's never a bad time for coffee... ☕

[fervent elm]

Whats this graph for?

[wise bear]

I had a mid-evening nap and now I wish to stay awake for a period of time

[pure garnet]

i don’t think the apple tv has rtx

[south shuttle]

Google trends search term

[regal wigeon]

Should I keep these as is or swap them right next to each other or does it matter. It goes to the Nvidia 12v high power connector

[pure garnet]

rewatching futurama and the old seasons are 480p 4:3 on my copy

[wise bear]

therefore my no-circadian-rhythm-having-ass needs coffee

[fervent elm]

Well yeah
What term?

[edgy laurel]

to those that remember screen LED bar guy, there is another one.. I think they're good

[fervent elm]

I never got the point of pointing a light at the screen
Isnt that just, hurting contrast?

[edgy laurel]

as long as they're all in the correctly labeled ports it doesn't matter which ones

[edgy laurel]

pointing a light at the screen would not be ideal

[turbid locust]

looking through my chat history and realized I accidentally manifested this

[south shuttle]

You can see at the bottom of the pic

[low sorrel]

Yes there is

right now

[wise bear]

nuh uh

lies, child

[fervent elm]

Blind, may i be

[pure garnet]

real coffee fans have caffeine immunity anyway

[wise bear]

real coffee fans have severe adhd and can take coffee naps

[pure garnet]

true!!!!

one day they’ll let me get meds

[wise bear]

I love the wintry mornings where i can drink a cup of coffee and then immediately go back to sleep

[low sorrel]

also peyton i refuse to believe i have adhd

[wise bear]

You def have a bit of it

[low sorrel]

nuh uh

I don't wanna know if i have it or don't have it

[turbid locust]

this isn’t medical advice but I stopped taking my adhd meds cause they made me feel like shit 👍👍👍

[wise bear]

yeah adhd meds are essentially a trial

[low sorrel]

damn does everyone in this server have adhd or something?

[wise bear]

most of us probably, yeah

[turbid locust]

common amongst the hobby

[wise bear]

yeah, tech space is filled with adhd/autistic folks

[turbid locust]

I’m just generally mentally ill as a whole so

[wise bear]

yoooo same broseph

[turbid locust]

god gave me a sample platter of the spectrum

[fervent elm]

Easily achievable
C4s are cheap

[low sorrel]

nah c8 vet

[topaz veldt]

@edgy laurel third perspective getting a little tiring

[merry stirrup]

c8’s are gross

[south shuttle]

gotta do g1 8000mt/s on zen 5 or no balls

[low sorrel]

I will not take c8 slander

[frank bear]

Not the ZR1s

[fervent elm]

Well yesh those are special
But regular c4s are like 7k

[turbid locust]

huh

[frank bear]

Yeah and not a terrible daily driver either.

[low sorrel]

mac did you get battlefield 6?

[turbid locust]

yurt

[wise bear]

mac if you don't have bf6 I'm changing that

[turbid locust]

Peyton we literally played it together

[low sorrel]

damn and bro didn't even wanna buy it for me

[wise bear]

OH RIGHT

[low sorrel]

granted i never asked

[fervent elm]

Just avoid the 84 with the dual ass tbi system yeah
Id love to pick one up once i get something more practical to start

[frank bear]

Agreed! The early 90's are a nice grab if you can.

[indigo walrus]

Correlation is not causation, but in my professional experience, almost everyone I know in the tech industry has some level of neurodiversity going on somewhere in their brains. Again, it's not true for all, and thus is never a good idea to autoassume.

[south shuttle]

Correlation is causation, Kirashi everyone has to use logical fallacies at some point it's unavoidable

[wise bear]

dude my cat is dumb

i have an inactive tower under my desk and he just full-on got 4 claws stuck on the rear fan grill

I look down and he's just staring at me with a foot attached to the back of the pc like "nothing is wrong, but please help"

[frank bear]

I get the same issue with my cats. They get stuck in the mesh on my Fractal Meshify case

[wise bear]

like I love the little dipshit but come on

he's easily the dumbest of the 3

not to mention his mega anxiety

[frank bear]

Yeah my one cat has crazy anxiety issues. He'll be laying there just fine with the other 2 cats and then suddenly runs upstairs and buries himself under the blankets on the bed.

[fervent elm]

[slim solstice]

Sarcasm

[wise bear]

fidgeting is also a trait

do you have restless leg syndrome, too?

[low sorrel]

yes

[edgy laurel]

so, i'll just say that there is a mechanic used in this particular film that breaks things up for you

[wise bear]

jerry you have adhd

[merry stirrup]

& should i see speed increases in yc with ngu and d2d?

[low sorrel]

no i don't

[wise bear]

$50 if you went to get evaluated you'd be given a low-grade adhd diagnosis

[low sorrel]

and whats that gonna do for me expect put doors in my way if i want to get my ppl

[wise bear]

having adhd doesn't bar you from a ppl lmao

do you have any idea how many pilots have adhd

like, commercial/military pilots

[low sorrel]

you need more medical evals

also im colorblind

next your going to say i have autism or something

[wise bear]

...no?

unmedicated adhd is fine

[abstract hornet]

I have adhd and I haven't been let out of the camp since I was diagnosed

[wise bear]

and you can get a ppl if you're colorblind

like there's just an extra step for you to get cleared

[low sorrel]

not in canada

[wise bear]

all this info is from the past 4-5 years

[slim solstice]

I think night flight not allowed cuz u wouldn't be able to see the overspeed and altitude lights on the runway change color

[wise bear]

All depends on the level of colorblindness

also.. what overspeed landing light? that's not a thing

do you mean the localizer & papi lights?

[low sorrel]

^

[slim solstice]

How are u gonna not go to the end of the run way and crash if you don't know if ur too fast or too slow

[wise bear]

[low sorrel]

[slim solstice]

But ppl mostly use the airspeed indicator

[pure garnet]

don’t planes have speedometers?

[wise bear]

yes, and gps

[slim solstice]

I think I'm taking. About a game sorry about that

[wise bear]

what you're talking about is not a thing irl

[merry stirrup]

my overall goal is >9400

[fervent elm]

Jbl bass moment

[low sorrel]

also this movie is fire @edgy laurel

[slim solstice]

It's the extreme bass profile with some adjustments

[wise bear]

tell me you don't understand audio without saying anything about it

[merry stirrup]

these speeds is lookin good

[slim solstice]

The bass is too less

[wise bear]

thats gotta be the muddiest audio ever

[lone scarab]

peyton did you get the laptop

[wise bear]

yes

[lone scarab]

good

[slim solstice]

The buds I had before were 10 times cheaper and they had so much bass they fell out of my ears

[slim solstice]

SIUUU

[lone scarab]

unpossible

they just didnt fit well in your ears

[slim solstice]

Yes possible

[wise bear]

stop memeing at me I don't understand it

[slim solstice]

They fit pretty good

[slim solstice]

Siuu = yes

[lone scarab]

how is siuu yes

[fervent elm]

Idk if they were skull candy ones
They love absolutely maxing bass

[slim solstice]

Read it somewhere

[lone scarab]

i increase bass in eq

[slim solstice]

Ptron bassbuds jade

[fervent elm]

Eardrum detonation

[slim solstice]

They 699 rupees

[lone scarab]

no bass by default headphone are better

some people dont like bass at all

i do so i use equaliser

[wise bear]

clear mids & highs with punchy bass pls

[slim solstice]

What preset should I use for that

[wise bear]

How would I know, I don't use cheap headsets

[slim solstice]

There's jass vocal bass and extreme bass

[fervent elm]

I like bass but also my ears are sensitive to treble rsnges and i like me rock

[lone scarab]

dont you have equaliser in your phone

[slim solstice]

Om taking about the jbl which won the 2023 red dot award

[wise bear]

ok, and

[slim solstice]

Spotify for the old headphones jbl app for the. New ones

[lone scarab]

my phone has built in

i dont use none apps for this

also custom better

[rich idol]

Anyone know what this is? Im cleaning up and sorting the cables, I think it came with my PSU but I'm not sure

[fervent elm]

What mine is set to
P standard

[fervent elm]

Molex to 4 pin fan adaptor

[rich idol]

Then it probably fell out of my case

[wise bear]

molex to floppy

[wise bear]

not for fans

[rich idol]

Now I'm extra confused

[slim solstice]

Mm feels like home thanks hycerian

[rich idol]

What is molex for?

[slim solstice]

Ide drives and more

[wise bear]

old hardware

you don't need to be worrying about molex because you don't have anything that uses it

[fervent elm]

Ye olde general small device power connector for various things
Sata or usb has mostly replaced it for most things but fans

[rich idol]

Which is it more likely it came with? My case or my PSU? It was laying with my left over PSU cables when I was cleaning up, just wanna put it in the box it came from

[fervent elm]

How ancient is your case or psu?

[rich idol]

Fractal North, Silverstone HELA 1200R Platinum

[fervent elm]

Floppy disks havent been relevant for 20 years, im not sure its from either of those..

[rich idol]

Is there such a thing as fans that use it?

[pure garnet]

it’s probably for the case fans

adapts the board to molex vs sata is my only guess

[fervent elm]

Molex sure but its a molex to floppy power adaptor

[lone scarab]

why arent you allows to change bass

[rich idol]

Cause the fractal north has cooling capabilities out the wazoo, which is why I bought it, so it might be for the case then

[lone scarab]

crazy

[fervent elm]

I have nothing connected rn so i domt think phone speakers get that low

[lone scarab]

oh

https://tenor.com/view/understandable-have-nice-day-have-a-great-day-have-a-good-day-nice-gif-20850110

[rich idol]

Ill put it in my case box, my power supply is modular, logically I dont think they'd include something that couldn't be plugged directly into the PSU

[fervent elm]

Probably is part of the case
Fractal is fairly conservative for cases
They put out a brand new case with a 5.25" drive bay a couple years ago

[wise bear]

[rich idol]

It had one in the back side along with the cable management

[merry stirrup]

floppa disk

[low sorrel]

holy shit how has it only been like 45 minutes

i've been on edge on this movie the entire time

[green marsh]

molex to floppy is used sometimes to power low power cards, which need more than PCIe provides, but don't need to go full blast 6-pin power. Some internal sound cards used it for example, i had it on a DVB TV card

to be specific, on the CI card reader for the DVB card

the PCIe slot usually provides 15W for the PCIe x16 cards, and 6-pin would give it another 75W. So these floppy connectors are used when the card might need just few watts extra (the sound card), or has no PCIe slot power delivery at all (the CI reader)

[lone scarab]

[timid gate]

is 566.36 still the best driver for an rtx 2070 super on windows 10?

[indigo walrus]

A couple months ago I but the bullet and updated to whatever the latest was at the time because Apex Legumes received an update that made it play like shit with Nvidia driver 566.36 on my 2060. On my Windows 11 system I haven't run into issues with this driver version yet so... You're likely okay to update now.

[green marsh]

talking about Windows 10 & 11 - while yes, i hate that some of my older parts now have to run Linux for no other reason than it is being just outside the supported feature list (CPU, TPM; unless i want to deal with the removal of checks and problematic updates), i find it funny that everyone hates on MSFT and nobody cares that Apple does this to a much worse level for years, hell decade

i mean they literally will drop every Intel Mac, which aren't compatible for Windows 11 now, because they have their own TPM alternative. They were dropping Macs from macOS support at 6-7 year mark like clockwork even before that, and only because of 3rd party patchers those systems could run anything newer.

But oh no, MSFT drops the old OS after 10 years, they are pure evil. /s

[livid flame]

Well I mean… you don’t buy Apple for compatibility

And Microsoft has been king of compatibility since day 1 of mass production

So people kind of get upset when something that’s normally so widely compatible is then restricted. It’s like when an open source program is super awesome, gets bought by a company and then goes closed source. GitHub goes mental.

[clear pasture]

uhh quick question : if my mouse glides more smoothly when i am not using my mousepad do i stop using the mousepad?

[dapper junco]

Have you considered that your mousepad might be designed to create a slower glide?

[clear pasture]

uhh i dont know since i bought it from aliexpress

it costed like 99 euro cents

[clear pasture]

it could be also the fact because i upgraded from a 5 dollar mouse to a logitech g305

maybe the glides on the better mouse are better on their own perhaps?

[dapper junco]

What surface was your mouse moving on before?

[clear pasture]

i mean the table

[dapper junco]

Yea, that sounds like the mousepad surface has more friction to me.

If you want an easier glide then sure, don't use the pad

[fleet lily]

Anyone got any idea how to access documents inside of the directory of an iPhone app? You know how you can see what doocuments are inside an app, like photos, videos etc. How do you access those if they seemingly are inaccessible within the app in question? I have the Moment app and one photo is stuck in the documents folder of the app or something.

[topaz veldt]

Yeah ... kind of lame in a very big way. I think its implied... if you watch the ending credits there are noises that suggest explosions, but wtf.

[topaz veldt]

The stock asus guy for now, but I am going back to D30 which I 3D printed a mount for

[fleet lily]

I'm slow. I just found it through the files app

[edgy laurel]

End of the day I think it’s entirely intentional. It’s clear now that the purpose is to put you in the position of the people that have to make the hardest decision in the world and not just be an action film ya know

Took me like 12 hours after finishing it to start to be OK with that lol

[topaz veldt]

Yeah , I got that when the dude on the roof...

[frail marlin]

should i upgrade to a ryzen 9 5950x from a 5600x
because i cant find any x3D cpus for am4
i recently upgrade to a 5070 and i experience a lot of cpu bottleneck, i wanted to upgrade to a 5700x3D or 5800x3D but i cant find any secondhand or new

[topaz veldt]

For gaming the 5950X may not be the best choice

check /r/hardwareswap

[frail marlin]

it has more L3 cache and more cores

[topaz veldt]

and more heat and lower boost

it has more cache because it has more cores, it doesn't have more cache per core necessarily

[edgy laurel]

In 2020, maybe a nice little boost. Not so much in 2025

[frail marlin]

so what do i do

[edgy laurel]

very poor choice for gaming

[frail marlin]

i always get 100-110% cpu usage

[topaz veldt]

are you in the US

[frail marlin]

no eu

[topaz veldt]

you start saving for an AM5 build lol

[frail marlin]

and getting a x3d am5 cpu upgrade will cost 800€ total

[edgy laurel]

you find a used 5800/5700x3D or bite the bullet and move to a current gen platform

just adding more non-x3D Zen3 cores won't really help you as much as you think

[topaz veldt]

def will not

[frail marlin]

so it will not solve my 110% cpu usage issue

[edgy laurel]

how does one get over 100% lol

[frail marlin]

slightly overclocked

[topaz veldt]

no

[edgy laurel]

how are you measuring this?

[frail marlin]

i use gpu tweak osd

[topaz veldt]

😬

[edgy laurel]

1080p?

[frail marlin]

1440p

[edgy laurel]

Are you cranking up the settings in games and the GPU still won't reach at or near 95% usage?

[edgy laurel]

jfc what game is that?

[frail marlin]

yeah problem is i play a lot of cpu intensive games

rust/fortnite

[edgy laurel]

I feel like my 5800x isn't anywhere close that that level of utilization in games but its been a while since i've tested that

[topaz veldt]

rust is bad

[edgy laurel]

apparently lol

Remember overclocking your CPU allows the silicon to have babies and add 10% more silicon. Once matured it runs with a higher clock speed for longer on boost

[opal shard]

Found a PC for 850 USD. Seems really worth it to me, and the deal also includes a Screen, Mouse and Keyboard (not needed but I can resell them) Thoughts?

Here are the specs:
· Processor (CPU): AMD Ryzen 5 3600
· Graphics card (GPU): NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 (8 GB)
· Memory (RAM): 16 GB DDR4
· Storage: 256 GB SSD + 500 GB HDD
· Motherboard: Gigabyte A520M K V2

The only reason it isn't sold is because its pickup only and a bit remote.

[livid flame]

It’s also not sold yet because it’s 850 USD for a 3600, a 4060 on an a520 series board

Aka - you’re getting ripped off

[dawn plover]

includes a screen? did they say what it was?

[opal shard]

Acer 24" 60Hz (1920x1080 Full HD)

[edgy laurel]

e-waste

[opal shard]

How so?

[dawn plover]

A series motherboard is cheap and not very good if you plan on upgrading CPU

[opal shard]

Won't upgrade from a 4060 so that's fine

[dawn plover]

with 850USD I think you could do better without buying someone's old peripherals

[opal shard]

Not so sure where I live, but maybe. It's a far drive so I probably wont unless it's clearly a good deal tho..

ok the topping interface software is a bit wtf

i just want a single mono mic in, and a single headphone out bro i dont need allat

it gives you a ton of in/out devices

i got it figured out tho and it sounds good

[edgy laurel]

so that answers that, all sorts of virtual inputs and outputs

[shell void]

the knobs are heavy but smooth

[edgy laurel]

Mmm the best kind

something with a solid headphone output and DAC + XLR in I feel like solves so many people's problems

dunno why its not more of a thing

[steel stream]

So with my G5 (still not delivered) I got a bundle where I got a soundbar and bluetooth speaker included, but I think the LG store will let me return them without returning the TV?

[edgy laurel]

I doubt it

[steel stream]

that's pretty sweet ngl

[steel stream]

nah they're letting me do it

[shell void]

☠️

[steel stream]

score? maybe it'll update when the Tv arrives but uh

[shell void]

if they let you do that then that's so meta

[edgy laurel]

🙏

[shell void]

that soundbar is NOT worth $1100

scamsung soundbars mog LG to oblivion

[steel stream]

the only samsung product I've actually enjoyed

[shell void]

same

[shell void]

yeah this is a perfect solution tbh

[lone scarab]

meridian

[shell void]

$160 endgame

[steel stream]

yeah that's pretty damn good

i do also like the LED display on it

[shell void]

idk why 99% of audio interfaces have horrible headphone outs

it's probably only a few dollars more to make it decent like this topping

[edgy laurel]

I was curious about that display and if it would be distracting if the box was in your FoV on a desk

wouldn't be a dealbreaker by any means as i'm sure you'd get used to it

[shell void]

it's off to my side so i dont see it, but it's not bright anyway

maybe if you play with lights off youd find it distracting, but i dont

[lone scarab]

that type of stuff is distracting for me

a lot

could get used to it but its so distracting that i wouldnt even use it to begin with

[fervent elm]

Tape

[lone scarab]

tape what

[fervent elm]

Over tge display
Its not a touch screen

[lone scarab]

hmmm

well he said its not for him

[edgy laurel]

what on earth are you two on about

[lone scarab]

if i build myself a pc, its gonna have least rgb

i will probably end up hiding it somewhere

outta sight

[pure garnet]

so why waste the money on rgb stuff

[steel stream]

pretty lights

[wise bear]

oooooooooohh sometimes

i get a good feeling, yeah

something that I NEVER EVER EVER ever felt before oh no, I get a good feeling

nice, was expecting flo rida

[civic reef]

Hmmmmmmm

[wise bear]

pretty lights is really good

[rich idol]

Is it normal that one of the sockets in a fan Y-cable is a 3 pin instead of a 4 pin?

[edgy laurel]

yes

[pure garnet]

what cpu are you buying that doesn have ftpm

[civic reef]

I7 4770
I believe I don't have TPM 2.0

[pure garnet]

well that also doesn’t meet the win 11 requirements so

10 ltsc is free

[edgy laurel]

tpm is the least of your concerns

can just bypass it anyway with rufus

[civic reef]

For BF6

Otherwise I wouldn't care at all

[edgy laurel]

still doesn't matter, that system won't play BF6 well enough to enjoy it

far too old

[pure garnet]

that computer is more like

[civic reef]

A 3400G ran it at around 30-40 FPS with the iGPU, I can probably replicate this numbers with my 5700 XT

[pure garnet]

valorant speeds

[civic reef]

Whar

[edgy laurel]

both 4-core 8-thread chips but the Ryzen is 6 years newer. that CPU will be garbage if it runs at all

chip was great at battlefield 4... in 2013

not 6 in 2025

[civic reef]

It'll bottleneck it yes, but if I can achieve 30 stable fps I'm okay
If not I can just refund it

[edgy laurel]

why spend money on a game for a 30fps experience

[civic reef]

I can bear with a 30 FPS experience

Plus I am upgrading later this year

[edgy laurel]

1080p Low @ 30fps asks for an i5 8400 and a 5600xt

with that i7 i'm not sure if you'll even reach half that, if the game launches at all

[civic reef]

Again, I can just refund it if it doesn't work out

[edgy laurel]

wouldn't be surprised if its missing some critical instruction set

[civic reef]

Again, refunding 😭

Plus I am upgrading later this year

Back onto the topic of the TPM module though
Does any module from any company work or

Because most modules I find that're compatible are from brands I don't recognise

[pure garnet]

don’t buy the module

[fervent elm]

4000 series are the oldest that support avx2, but
Maybe?

[pure garnet]

a month of gfn or something would be a better decision

[civic reef]

Why,,,

[pure garnet]

because it’s a 4770 💀

[civic reef]

Using it would pretty much force everyone else at home to not be able to do anything

And would eat up the 20GB daily limit (20GB before it drops to 1.5mbps)

[shell void]

gyat 20GB per day is nuts

[civic reef]

I get the CPU is bad but even if BF6 doesn't turn out to run well I can just refund it

The module is just 15 dollars anyway

[civic reef]

From like.. 8 AM I believe to 12 AM

12 to 8 is open speed, unlimited

[pure garnet]

it’s not worth dumping money into games and tpm modules till you have a working system

[fervent elm]

Am4 is so cheap
And sm better
I think a 5500 is like 60$

And boards similar

And has those modules, etc

[leaden dawn]

4770 LMAOOOO

💀 💀 💀

[civic reef]

Rude 💔

[civic reef]

15 Dollar module, 35 Dollar game (0 if it runs too unpleasantly and I refund it)

In total I pay 15 dollars

[leaden dawn]

I'm sorry but like battlefield 6 is stringent lmao, and windows 11 may not do well on that hardware I would imagine

[civic reef]

It ran fine enough on a 2c4t 7600U

(win 11)

[leaden dawn]

OK that's like 3 generations newer

[civic reef]

15W, half the processes

[leaden dawn]

Unless that's amd which case like 4

[pure garnet]

yes and this can go towards a 12400f instead

[civic reef]

Again idk why you're all acting like I am throwing a thousand dollars it's a 15 dollar TPM module

[leaden dawn]

Its just not.. Wise to invest more into your current hardware to play modern games.

[civic reef]

If the game doesn't run well
Oh, too bad, I have TPM 2.0 and instead a War Thunder MIG-23ML pack for the same price

[pure garnet]

just yesterday you were talking about financing pc parts

[civic reef]

I changed my mind
