[pure garnet]

now we’re onto trying to force haswell to play bf6

[slim solstice]

Lucky u can play valorant

[pure garnet]

just focus your money into a decent setup

[civic reef]

I already bought so many parts
I want to mix it up a little so I can actually have a little fun with the stuff I already got

I am pretty sure I spent almost 300 dollars at this point and only 5 on actual games

[pure garnet]

deadass yeah haswell and esport titles makes sense

[slim solstice]

Valorant hates people with no secure boot and no tpm

[pure garnet]

you can do no tpm if you’re on 10

[slim solstice]

It's "scared" of us

[slim solstice]

I'm on 11

That's the problem

[pure garnet]

well if you’re on 11 without tpm it’s not their problem anyway

[slim solstice]

I have tpm 1.0 and tpm 2.0 capsule update is questionable cuz it's on the website but the updater doesn't reccomend me it

[civic reef]

I discovered the beautiful world of Amazon
I can now actually get hardware for a decent price

[shell void]

if youre passionately opposed to tpm and secureboot then you probably dont understand what they are

[wise bear]

^

[civic reef]

No more need to finance

[slim solstice]

Ur very late to the party

[pure garnet]

i’m too lazy to sign my linux partition so secure boot is evil

[civic reef]

I previously couldn't get anything on Amazon because of shipping

[slim solstice]

My dad saves 200 dollars yearly

[slim solstice]

Ohhh right

[slim solstice]

Amazon prime and no it's not having amazon

[civic reef]

Only recently I discovered that people here will order shit for you alongside their order and you just come grab it

[leaden dawn]

Also DKMS modules

[civic reef]

I did it before but for Shein

[pure garnet]

unless you’re on the like oem hp bios you should be able to setup automated signing

[slim solstice]

You get stuff like alexa+ subscription, Amazon prime, fast delivery and sales come one day before others and u get more offers and there's amazon music and much more

[pure garnet]

i had secure boot with efistub and nvidia working fine

[slim solstice]

What?

[pure garnet]

it just auto signed everything on kernel upgrade

[slim solstice]

Is this only on some bios or all

[pure garnet]

a bios that lets you enroll keys in is all you need

[slim solstice]

Ok I have a cheap one so ig it's not there

[slim solstice]

What's 100 percent?

[slim solstice]

What?

[wise bear]

dunning-kruger my beloved

[pure garnet]

?

[dawn plover]

Okay so I heard AMD graphics cards are now better than Nvidia and are better priced for performance is this true and if so what would be the best one?

[slim solstice]

On the chart

[pure garnet]

you might be on the left bro

it’s a bell curve

[dawn plover]

Okay so I heard AMD graphics cards are now better than Nvidia and are better priced for performance is this true and if so what would be the best one?

[slim solstice]

I don't understand the chart.

[slim solstice]

Why do u need to send this picture

[pure garnet]

it’s a distribution

[dawn plover]

I'm asking if AMD graphics card is better than Nvidia and if their prices are better for performance you know both of those worlds?

[slim solstice]

I know Nvidia world

Not amd I'm not much of a amd boy

[pure garnet]

you need to give a price point

[slim solstice]

If you got 4 free slots then you can get those 40gb Nvidia server graphics cards for 20k dollars

[edgy laurel]

they both make more than one card so.. unless you have specifics there is no way to answer this

[slim solstice]

I like Nvidia more than amd

[dawn plover]

300 max

[slim solstice]

Are u ok?

[shell void]

W

i too like the better gpu designer

[pure garnet]

9060xt is probably best card you can get in that price bracket

[slim solstice]

A 4060 is 320 bucks on amazon

[pure garnet]

and worse

[dawn plover]

Thank you! Sorry inconvenience you!😅👋

[slim solstice]

Wow graphics cards have gotten cheaper

I have a chance of getting a insane pc now

[wise bear]

get a job first lmao

[pure garnet]

this guy has so much whimsy

[slim solstice]

All I need is the psu of a Dell optiplex 9040 and then I can put a gpu in thee

[topaz veldt]

Guys.. absolute insanity in the pc world here at 5nail5 residence

[steel stream]

the dimms have been blocked????

[slim solstice]

What happened now

[wise bear]

did another 5 5090s arrive

[topaz veldt]

no

[slim solstice]

Also did u buy that outdoor tv?

[topaz veldt]

I wish - so I have had dx12 crashes....

[steel stream]

educated guess

285K failing?

[topaz veldt]

no this is in 9950X3D

[slim solstice]

What?

[steel stream]

that was in response to 5nail

[shell void]

that wouldnt happen bro

[topaz veldt]

so literally I pulled the 5090 TUF OC, blocked, put it in 285K.... DX12 crashing.

[slim solstice]

I thought it was some us stonks shit

[steel stream]

You right, please forgive my mistake

[topaz veldt]

I am like ah fuck its the GPU

[slim solstice]

Did u get that outdoor tv

[pure garnet]

intel cpus never failed the motherboard failed them

[shell void]

dont let it happen again

[topaz veldt]

so I UNBLOCKED the 5090 TUF OC, getting ready for an RMA...

[wraith steeple]

man, modern computing is right now

[topaz veldt]

and now its fugging working....

[slim solstice]

Yay

[steel stream]

I'll go to Pat for confession this week 🙏

[topaz veldt]

well no yay

[slim solstice]

Aww

[topaz veldt]

i left Outlaws open while I ran errands

[pure garnet]

buy another 285k as penance

[slim solstice]

Can. U ans my question now

[slim solstice]

Engine kaput?

[topaz veldt]

no issue, it passes 3Dmark DX12, DX11... I even went and reinstalled Win11 25h2, 24h2, drivers, etc.

[steel stream]

wack

[topaz veldt]

But now its working fine....

[shell void]

if you paypal f&f me $100 then ill answer your question

[topaz veldt]

granted I think its on quiet BIOS because I reflashed original ASUS one

[slim solstice]

I dont got paypal but I do got gpay and Paytm and phonepe

[slim solstice]

.

[topaz veldt]

I don't think ASUS 5090 TUF OC quiet vs perf would be a make/break

[wraith steeple]

Windows 11 is pulling a Vista or Me

[civic reef]

Okay turns out Amazon doesn't save much for me on LGA 1700

[slim solstice]

What gpu do you reccomend that fits in a Dell sff pc

[shell void]

didnt you flash the aorus master bios on that tuf card? that could be a problem

[slim solstice]

Switch bios?

[topaz veldt]

dunno

[shell void]

if i remember right you did flash the aorus master vbios on the tuf card

[topaz veldt]

I did... but I put it back to the ASUS Perf mode

why would it all of a sudden start being an issue

it was the gigabyte waterforce one on the quiet mode

so now its running original asus quiet

[shell void]

[topaz veldt]

weird af

[shell void]

haunted gpu

[topaz veldt]

Yeaaaah

Going to checksum the perf bios against my original file, maybe flash over, and see

[slim solstice]

What if windows is haunting the gpu

[wise bear]

[topaz veldt]

pissed off becuase I reinstalled OS like 3 times

I also DDU'd like 5 different drivers

[slim solstice]

That's infuriating

[topaz veldt]

thankfully have 3 other 5090 builds to test in

I almost went to MC and bought another TUF OC this AM

[wraith steeple]

so it is having a radeon moment

[topaz veldt]

its weird dude

[slim solstice]

Ur.too rich

[wraith steeple]

[topaz veldt]

like no joke its been running Outlaws now for an hour+ 577W

73C core temp (air cooler is on)

[wise bear]

check it out dude, build's all bought finally
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/WK6QpK

[topaz veldt]

wow nice setup

[wise bear]

Danke schon!

[topaz veldt]

did you already get the LF3 pro

[wise bear]

yeah it's sitting on the case box

[topaz veldt]

ah damn

[wise bear]

why?

[topaz veldt]

theres a new titan

for like $89

[low sorrel]

huh

[wise bear]

gdi

[civic reef]

Just checked and the newest BIOS ver for my board is from 2015 😭

[wise bear]

oh well

[topaz veldt]

Believe it or not... Corsair Nautilus

[wise bear]

oh I saw that

[shell void]

it's not gonna matter, the 9700x runs cold asf with the stock settings

[civic reef]

I am pretty sure that's literally just release BIOS?? 😭

[low sorrel]

peyton is this your pc?

[slim solstice]

Only 73

[shell void]

afaik it's still 88w max ootb

[wise bear]

yeah the ram gets here tuesday, everything else gets here today

[topaz veldt]

its normally like 52

[wraith steeple]

I can't keep up with AIOs

[slim solstice]

Woah

[slim solstice]

Aios are neat

[shell void]

i am of the opinion that youve lost the plot if youre picking AIOs based on 1-3c differences

[topaz veldt]

@wraith steeple do I put the EK block back on and put it all back together to see if its... "fixed".... but I'd have to use duronaut. Or wait until tomorrow when my 6 orders of TG PTM come in

[topaz veldt]

noise though

[wise bear]

I say wait for ptm

[topaz veldt]

maybe keep testing until tomorrow

[shell void]

yeah lf3 pump is loud if you leave it running at 100%

[low sorrel]

i am of the opinion of get whatever the thermalright flavor of the month aio

[shell void]

i have mine at 40%

[topaz veldt]

LF3 Pro fans are meh loud, pump is meh loud

[slim solstice]

If I get a aio I wouldnt care about the noise cuz I would have lived with a Dell pc for 8 years near my bed

[topaz veldt]

Apparently the Nautilus is nice

[wraith steeple]

for GPU, wait for Phasesheet TBH

[topaz veldt]

Yeaaaah

[wise bear]

oh I bought a stack of noctua fans to fill the chassis lmao

[topaz veldt]

but it might be apart a few times

[shell void]

the fans are quiet

there are only a couple of fans that beat p12 pros in noise normalized performance

amazon shoppers just run default fan curves and act surprised when 3000rpm fans are loud

20% signal is like 1000rpm already xd

[wise bear]

I'm so happy I have tinnitus because these laptop fans run at almost the same frequency as my ringing so i barely notice it tbh

[topaz veldt]

Whats our take -- do we think a GPU would be stable on quiet bios (stock) and perf bios (stock)? Like... its what.... 10 Mhz?

[low sorrel]

peyton what bulid do you use for the drs-iar

[slim solstice]

Since ur so rich just soundproof ur case

[topaz veldt]

ok

[wise bear]

heavy match barrel, bipod foregrip, 36rnd mag, canted irons, ergo trigger, 4x acog, red laser

[topaz veldt]

this is my secondary pc

[shell void]

P12 Pro pwm data

20% signal is already 900rpm +-50

people use default curves and are shocked that fast fans are loud

[topaz veldt]

yeah also PWM is sometimes super not linear

LF3s have a noise tho

[slim solstice]

Nice cooling

[wise bear]

is it like a grindy noise or like a whiny noise

[shell void]

i have my P12 Pros at 20% and my P14 Pros at 33% (static), it works well for me

[low sorrel]

what break

[shell void]

if you leave the pump on 100% then there'll be a quiet whine, and youll probably hear bubbles sometimes

[wise bear]

the... 4th one? I forget the name

[shell void]

there's no performance benefit to going over 50% on the pump signal

[topaz veldt]

I have a 4th P12 failing

[shell void]

i have mine at 40% with my 9800X3D max overclocked

[topaz veldt]

will share a vid in a bit

[wise bear]

keep in mind I always have music going on speakers and a window fan running, and I kinda doubt it's loud enough to annoy me over all that lol

[wise bear]

the one that's got like, 3 slots on the side, looks like a qdc for a suppressor

[shell void]

i believe it, ive had a few og p14s die

my maxes and pros have been fine so far, but time will tell

[slim solstice]

I just witnessed stupidity at its peak

[wise bear]

was it yourself

[slim solstice]

It was raining outside and his pc was getting wet and he did not attempt to move it but just recorded it

And now it's not working

[wise bear]

probably because he didn't wait for it to dry

also, why are you telling us

[slim solstice]

Cuz it's too stupid to not

[low sorrel]

this one?

[wise bear]

dude we read more dumber shit coming from you on the daily

[wise bear]

ja

[steel stream]

Altium so fun

[low sorrel]

hold up

why is the single port brake have the exact same stats as the double port

[pure garnet]

2nd port just for looks fr

[wise bear]

wait 2 days, we're getting a huge patch

probably gonna adjust a bunch of shit

[civic reef]

Wait
Oh my days
@pure garnet @edgy laurel
I don't think it'll even work

Googled it (though unsure of source), but it says that the module will just run at TPM 1.2 even if it's a 2.0 module

I may be completely wrong though, idk, still checking

[topaz veldt]

OK checksummed my 5090 TUF OC Perf BIOS switch with my original 5/8/2025 download and they're identical, but reflashed anyway

[low sorrel]

incendiary nades are so op wtf

[pure garnet]

i doubt haswell supports 2.0

[civic reef]

I doubt my board itself does
Newest BIOS ver is from 2015

Just checked it

This sucks </3

[topaz veldt]

Alright, BIOS switch back in perf position... firing up outlaws (which crashed before)

[wraith steeple]

[topaz veldt]

mhmmm its haunted

[steel stream]

Call an exorcist?

Spirtually cleanse your block

[pure garnet]

@shell void sleep is just dead on the tomahawk now

this board might not make it to tuesday 💀

[low sorrel]

iar with flashlight and green laser slaps in cqb holy

[topaz veldt]

maybe i need to turn the torque up on my impact gun when i install it

[steel stream]

yeah that'll work too

[wheat void]

You'll know it's actually haunted if your bit strips

[slim pebble]

That is such an odd issue.

[topaz veldt]

totally dude

[slim pebble]

I need to get that EK TUF block.

[topaz veldt]

Sell you one

jk jk I do love it

I am shocked you had issues with AC, my AC might be nicer

[slim pebble]

I put the card back on air and gave it to my kid.

I didn't spend much time on it

[topaz veldt]

yeah would love to know what your issue was

[slim pebble]

His 4080 crapped out, he needed a card.

[topaz veldt]

I will say.... on the AC block... they don't use the spring mechanism on the GPU core. So, as the thermal pads compress, you need to come back around and retorque

@shell void ever have a MBP key that feels "different"?

[shell void]

i haven’t used it enough for it to develop any worn keys

[steel stream]

the tax season macbook

[pure garnet]

what a deal

[topaz veldt]

not worn

it almost feels like something is off in the key - it depresses slightly uneven

easy enough

[shell void]

literally yes

[topaz veldt]

back to bf6 running fine on this 5090 TUF OC wtf

[steel stream]

magic

[topaz veldt]

help it make sense

[shell void]

no new posts from jaykihn since september 18th bro absolutely heartbreaking

[topaz veldt]

I think I know what it is. The EK water block keeps the card. So cool that every now and then it needs the stock cooler swapped on to reflow the solder joints

[wraith steeple]

[steel stream]

uh huh

[topaz veldt]

See, it makes sense

Like 10 mins in

[fringe vigil]

hi

[topaz veldt]

@shell void pos fans honestly

[shell void]

yeah they are

[slim pebble]

Are those the P12 pro?

[merry stirrup]

38 d2d 34 ngu 9133 somewhat tight:stable

[shell void]

no those are the original p12s

[slim pebble]

Yeah no, P12's are awful. I've broken one stopping it like that.

[topaz veldt]

P14 PST

That one is p12 sorry

[civic reef]

@pure garnet I am finally doing something that's not stupid

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/FDjGyW
Upgrades that'll happen over 2026

Don't mind the ram, genuinely the cheapest 2x8 kit I could find

[merry stirrup]

is ring voltage just called ring voltage

[slim pebble]

Yeah the Max (and probably the Pro) are much thicker, heavier, and more substantial.

[merry stirrup]

also @topaz veldt i was able to get up to 143 giggles a second

[topaz veldt]

im going to replace with G2s

[topaz veldt]

Nice dude - matches my semi tuned 9000

@slim pebble do you play COD

[slim pebble]

Nah not really. I plan to start Expedition 33 when I get get an evening off.

...Why would you want to

Hero shooters suck

[topaz veldt]

linux nerds don't run X

[pure garnet]

pac uses xorg?

why

[slim pebble]

It’s all Wayland now 😂

[wise bear]

wsl ftw

[pure garnet]

i just dualboot and msi's secure boot has been so broken that it took no effort

unsigned bootloader
boots anyway

[slim pebble]

I plan on it, but I just haven’t had the time honestly

[random flame]

I mean, those of us who are Budgie users are also on xorg till the wayland version is finished.

[pure garnet]

all 6 of them

[wise bear]

You know my msi z490 has this same exact quirk..

[topaz veldt]

thats a window manager, but real linux doesn't run X convince me I'm wrong

[random flame]

Might not be too long, but I'm not holding my breath either for short time periods for that development effort.

[pure garnet]

yeah just swap to plasma lmfao

[slim pebble]

Any kind of GUI is more of a workstation thing, you’re right. Most servers don’t run any kind of graphic interface

[pure garnet]

they call it maximize os compatibility now but yeah it just allows boot of any image even if it's unsigned

you have to go and configure it to actually be secure boot and not just a "play valorant" toggle

[wise bear]

It's more like MSI sees anything booting as uefi as a fucking deity and just lets it go on by

[pure garnet]

idk if my x870 board does it but i know my friends z590 board would just blow up the boot entry if it didn't exist at the default path

so i just use systemd-boot over efistub on my desktop

[topaz veldt]

Hello darkness my old friend

[wise bear]

[merry stirrup]

this sounds optimal idk about you

[steel stream]

whats the worst that could happen

[shell void]

if it's an intel cpu then itll just degrade and turn off, if it's a ryzen cpu then itll explode through the back of the socket and start a fire

[wise bear]

I wanna see that

[steel stream]

oh fml, I just finished routing and placing this (power and input are no good) and thought of a way better way to route

[wise bear]

does a better cpu mean more bang?

like if it's a 9800x3d does it go off like a hand grenade?

[steel stream]

nah they can't even explode properly

[wise bear]

😔

[steel stream]

12 TB of iCloud storage seems insane

this implies i’m power limited even in pl1 but i set it to unlimited

[pure garnet]

should i just get a new psu and rule out the superflower as cursed @shell void

[merry stirrup]

how is one power limited at unlimited pl

[heavy mantle]

x299 i see

[karmic folio]

[shell void]

it’s one factor that has existed across all of the failures so im suspicious of it

[pure garnet]

pure power 13m 1000w is 140

[rich idol]

do fan hubs just connect to any fan header on the motherboard?

[merry stirrup]

yes

[rich idol]

gotcha

[merry stirrup]

not the cpu fan

technically yes but don’t

freak shit

[rich idol]

I got 2 CPU fans plugged into the CPU header with a Y splitter

[merry stirrup]

that’s fine

that’s not a fan hub

[rich idol]

but my case came with a hub that can have up to 4 fans plugged into it, figured i might as well use it for the case fans

[merry stirrup]

i’m talking like. you have all your case fans daisy chained to the cpu fan header

[edgy laurel]

yes, just note the one you use because the curve you set in the BIOS on that header will control all the fans connected to that hub

[merry stirrup]

mhmm

[rich idol]

noted

i'll probably use Fan Control to mess around with settings until i find something that i'm happy with, then replicate my settings from fan control into the BIOS

also for 8 and 4 pin power connectors to the motherboard, i assume using only the 8 pin one is fine? my PSU didn't come with any 4 pin wires

[arctic bronze]

https://tenor.com/view/adventure-time-finn-baby-dance-gif-7249976

[rich idol]

refering to the power connectors that are usually towards the top of the motherboard to the north-west of the CPU

[signal parrot]

most likely fine. if you want to be 100% sure, look in the manual and/or contact the manufacturer

[edgy laurel]

yes

[rich idol]

manual just says "connect the 8 pin power plug, or connect both the 8 pin and 4 pin power plugs"

[signal parrot]

then its 100% fine

[edgy laurel]

if you have a board with a 4-pin today thats weird, but also PSU's used to split the 8-pin in 4+4 which you don't see much today

[signal parrot]

he was talking 8+4 pin

[merry stirrup]

hm i fixed it

[edgy laurel]

There is no 8+4 pin connector

[merry stirrup]

an interesting setting “power density throttle”

what the fuck does that even do

[rich idol]

Idk, maybe the motherboard uses an old patent, the manual doesn't mention 9000-series CPUs despite the motherboard supporting them

[merry stirrup]

my temps aren’t even any better

[edgy laurel]

He is explaining a seperate 8-pin and a 4-pin, which is not common anymore

[signal parrot]

its a 8pin and a 4pin next to each other, thats what i meant...

[edgy laurel]

and I'm explaining how 4-pins were usually supplied on the PSU side with 4+4 split connectors

which are not common anymore because who the fuck uses 4-pin connectors on boards anymore

i'm not confused here

[pure garnet]

anyone know what this means in english?

[edgy laurel]

don't need to watch, probably FUD

[young void]

Probs just keep on keeping on. If your os works as intended alls good

[edgy laurel]

watched anyway, and yeah those were both fixed within like 24 hours over a week ago

[random flame]

Mine does, but of course it's... Windows 10.
I haven't moved yet because my system hasn't received it's upgrade yet, which will not happen for while.

[edgy laurel]

so yeah, FUD

[random flame]

Does it mean anyone affected could even get their systems back that easily, considering they couldn't even rollback or backup their systems afterwards? Saying this particularly for the ones who don't have secondary systems for etching the patched recovery image.

Let's go back a little further with the ones who had the update that completely broke their peripheral inputs. If that's something they could easily screw up and is annoying to fix, particularly for the people without secondary system, and then that one from a week ago happens and that's annoying to also fix regardless how fast it got a patch... Who even has confidence in staying on 11, let alone migrating to it at this point?

Personally, I kinda do stick on Peyton's side when it comes to people being holdouts if they don't have enough reasons to back that, but with the consistency of all these and how seriously stupid they've been getting in difficulty for normal people to resolve... I'm on the fence again on how to recommend moving/staying on 11 to really anyone.

[merry stirrup]

i think i can barely squeeze out 5ghz ecores

[edgy laurel]

Breath

[topaz veldt]

@edgy laurel I had the weirdest tech day

[random flame]

Like we keep getting through one or a few FUDs after a few snafus, then suddenly MS breaks usability and dependability in world stopping fashion... Again.
This only takes me back to square 1 with anyone's point against telling someone to stay on 10 despite being dropped or move to Linux despite not needing that much control.

[edgy laurel]

Out here in the real world its not that bad my guy.. we're all here on 11 and its fine..

Gotta disconnect from the headlines

[edgy laurel]

[young void]

All we can do is prep for fixes and hope for the best

Gotta sneeze but cant my eyes are about to pop out lol begins to water as nose burns

[random flame]

The next thing I'm now anticipating as yet another worst case scenario is something on the scale of CloudStrike going wrong... And I hope that premonition is wrong because I don't want to have to troubleshoot that for anyone else.

[frank zealot]

Anytime MS has an update issue it's made out to be a gigantic disaster regardless of the actual impact

[random flame]

My sample size of people I prefer helping may be small, but it's crushing for them when things get out of hand and they have little to work with to get around what's happening, especially when they care about news more than I do most of the time.

[edgy laurel]

Only relevant OS for most people so its an easy target. And people love to have something to hate on. Its... boring

[random flame]

I mean, they even do that to Linux too for virtually everything for the opposite reason almost no one understanding how things work on the other side of the fence.

[random flame]

The recurring theme that exists between both (and I anticipate that becoming the next alternative people will start throwing out there) is Mac OS having problems and then the world stops... For only a few seconds, and then ignores them or denies for whatever reason. Lol.

Which is strangely funny and stupid at the same time.

[frank zealot]

The other day someone was asking about the ssd dying issue, and it's like "that was literally a nothing burger"

[random flame]

Yeah, that one was very hardware specific. Even I figured that was the case when I first started seeing stuff on that start to crop up.

[topaz veldt]

lol my daugher "what are these called?" "pistacchios" "speaking of histacchios"

[young void]

How are things holding up for grandma snails?

[shell void]

good lookin temps and volts

[rich idol]

is it okay to plug a chassis fan into the CPU_OPT header as long as my main CPU fan is connected to the CPU_FAN header? according to the manual, all the fan headers are Q-Fan controlled except for the AIO Pump header. It also says the CPU_OPT and CPU_FAN header have "shared control" i assume that means if a fan in either header fails the PC shuts down

[edgy laurel]

how did you come that assumption lmao

shared control meaning the CPU_OPT header isn't individually controllable, its slaved to CPU_FAN

[rich idol]

AH

[edgy laurel]

whatever you do on CPU_FAN will also adjust CPU_OPT

[rich idol]

gotcha

I guess i'll just plug the front fans into the hub, the compinged amperage is 0.27 amps so it should be fine, i just figurd it would be safer to spread the fans around more but i don't have enough headers for that and i only had one y splitter

got 5 chassis fans but only 4 chassis headers on my motherboard

[wise bear]

most fan headers can handle 3-5 fans tbh

unless it's a bottom of the barrel board

[proven saddle]

What boards?

[rich idol]

asus tuf gaming b650 plus wifi

[proven saddle]

Is it Chunky?

[shell vine]

Lmao crazy i used to think 1 header = 1 fan, now i got like 5 on 1 with a fan hub

[proven saddle]

Hub great

[edgy laurel]

My board has 9 fan headers. i'm using 1

[proven saddle]

@edgy laurel Sorry to trouble, i just found out my PSU cables are one of those 8 pins that can split into 4 pins, just making sure, there is no reason to plug in both, correct? Just the 8pin one should suffice?

[heavy mantle]

Two hours ahead of yeah 6

[heavy mantle]

Suffice…this isnt due on blackboard lmfao

[edgy laurel]

One cable, keep it together as an 8-pin, plug it into the one 8-pin port on the top left

I think so

unless its like super bad for some reason

[shell void]

i dont see how it could be

it would be cool if they put them out with the newer chiplet packaging but i doubt that would happen

[pure garnet]

i found it if it's 3.12.tl03

[fringe vigil]

yo

[heavy mantle]

would it be really worth it for the people already having a 9950x3d?

its like ~3% better in somecases

[fervent elm]

Cache on both dies would improve the lows sm

[shell void]

it probably wouldnt improve gaming performance at all in most instances

some productivity applications could benefit though

the new chiplet packaging would make a bigger difference for most people

[random flame]

I'm kinda on the fence about it, mainly because the die-to-die latency will still be an issue holding back that extra potential.

[topaz veldt]

Would you rather be stuck on AMD GPUs for life or be stuck in a career of shelling pistachios in a factory for life

[vestal granite]

that depends on two things:

1. do i get to eat the pistachios sometimes
2. does the pay scale equal to how my pay would otherwise scale in whatever career i would otherwise have at each point in my life

because if the pay doesnt scale then id probably have to buy AMD gpus regardless

[topaz veldt]

The pay isn't a concern

It's about job role

vs AMD GPUs

[vestal granite]

is there any hope of me moving up from being a pistachio sheller to a pistachio sheller manager or is there no upward movement in my career

[low sorrel]

snail what did you think of a house of dynamite

[vestal granite]

like could i one day be a pistachio district manager

[edgy laurel]

you finish it?

[low sorrel]

yeah

last pov and the ending was kinda ass

I knew what the ending was going to be after the first pov switch

[vestal granite]

you know they filmed that in idaho

and the guy who played napoleon dynamite he was only paid like $1000

[low sorrel]

maybe even a pistachio general manager?

[scenic blade]

Can someone help me out? Games randomly stop when I have XMP enabled. Is there a reason for that?

[edgy laurel]

so yeah, the second I realized the PoV switched we knew we probably weren't going to get what we really wanted. However, I can still appreciate the story that was told

[floral spear]

Ikea sells cases?

[vestal granite]

they sell meatballs and wardrobes i dont think cases are that far outside of their range to be honest

[low sorrel]

I think if they made the other povs more interesting with more insights instead of just repeating the same dialogue over and over

like maybe a foreign leader reacting to the ICBM or something

[edgy laurel]

the goal of course was the illustrate different PoV's of people dealing with a situation like that and the decisions and emotions, etc.. Not be a disaster film

The event and what happens after weren't the focus

[shell void]

ill take the pistachio job if it pays well

that's preferable to being stuck with a shitty pc forever

[low sorrel]

I mean like have the russian president or something be worried about the US nuking them and also thinking about a preemptive strike

also why couldn't they just wait until chicago was hit?

[edgy laurel]

there are a lot of loopholes

[low sorrel]

If the US has enough time to launch nukes before their city gets hit surely russia and china have the same thing

[edgy laurel]

Read a few things from people who work in the field. 1. They'd never not know where it came from. The same science used to predict point of impact can determine point of origin.. so that was played up for effect

[low sorrel]

also why tf are they nuking chicago

do the writers have beef with chicago

[edgy laurel]

And a single launch only

[low sorrel]

also if the launch was from the pacific surely theres atleast one AEGIS BMD/SM-3 ship?

Why did only GBI engage?

[floral spear]

Blahaj

[edgy laurel]

keep in mind looking at a map, flight path wouldn't be a straight line

[floral spear]

This guy @violet perch

[edgy laurel]

well, it would but it wouldn't be crossing the pacific. More lke the Bearing sea

[low sorrel]

I mean the US has like 30 something ships that have a few SM-3s on them and most of them are deployed Japanish area

And guam/hawaii

It wouldn't be at the best angle for intercept but I think it would be in parameters

[gentle gale]

they have a partnership with asus

[edgy laurel]

its funny i've been on a Clancy kick and a few books ago they had to send a guy to reprogram an Aegis cruiser's system to be able to engage ballistic targets

[low sorrel]

Isn't that like the entire reason aegis exists

[low sorrel]

oh wait never mind

aegis bmd was for ballistic missiles

[low sorrel]

when was that set?

side note couldn't they identify who shot the missile via the flight charactistics and speed?

[edgy laurel]

yes #tech-chat-2 message

[low sorrel]

I mean the point of origin isn't that useful

considering it was a SLBN

[edgy laurel]

It was The Bear and the Dragon, i'm not actually sure when its supposed to take place. Its fictional, of course. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bear_and_the_Dragon

It would be near the end of the Soviet era

its noted as an "experimental Aegis system"

[low sorrel]

yeah that ship would've had first generation aegis then

[low sorrel]

wait so it was flying above alaska ok

so was there no ships in port at norfolk with SM3s?

[edgy laurel]

thats what i'm saying

[low sorrel]

because if you look at the trejectory wouldn't norfolk be a very good option to fire from?

[edgy laurel]

Norfolk? Virginia?

[low sorrel]

yeah

[edgy laurel]

just we're on the same page.. you mean the east coast?

[low sorrel]

yeah

because look at the trejectory of the missile

[edgy laurel]

I'm not sure if they have the range for that kind of interception. thats across the continent

[low sorrel]

800 miles laterally and 600 miles vertically is the published numbers for sm3

[edgy laurel]

does the interception need to occur before apogee is reached?

[low sorrel]

no generally terminal phase is the second easiest to hit

[edgy laurel]

In the movie at least there is a line about it being past apogee, therefore the GBI's would be ineffectual

I dunno just some armchair analysis here, we don't know for real

[low sorrel]

I think what they meant is that it's not enough time

[edgy laurel]

Aegis launch from Virginia coast seems like a stretch to intercept a ballistic inbound coming in from canada

[low sorrel]

well they shot GBIs backwards in the movie

look at the path of the gbi vs the missile

[edgy laurel]

yeah

[low sorrel]

no wonder they missed

[edgy laurel]

you know the first time through I dunno if I was looking away but I missed the dude walking off the roof

#spoilers

[low sorrel]

if they shot gbis backwards i feel like it wouldn't be a stretch for them to shoot sm-3s in a ideal aspect but at the edge of the range

grok is this true

[grizzled lily]

that build might work

[brisk jolt]

9950x3d with 32gb ram is funny shit tho ngl

[pure garnet]

265k for productivity is a no brainer

https://www.techpowerup.com/review/intel-core-ultra-7-265k/16.html

it’s also close to a chart topper with tpus vm/ai tests

[shell void]

yeah outside of an overclocking enthusiast's pc that config just doesnt make sense

idk who would benefit from 16 cores that doesnt also want more than 32GB of ram

[pure garnet]

2gb/thread is ideal

[frank bear]

People who do nothing but run benchmarks on their PC to make their pp big

[shell void]

yah oc enthusiasts

[pure garnet]

shutdown broke michael

[shell void]

[pure garnet]

i’ll just do homework on 265k pc tomorrow

and play my switch 2 games instead of my pc after

[frank bear]

Seems overkill

[pure garnet]

yeah but i don’t pay rent so

prime time to buy hardware for the hobby

[wise bear]

yaaaas queen

[frank bear]

Meanwhile I'm cool with an N100 CPU for my daily uses

[wise bear]

I would rather die

[pure garnet]

i mean for homework yeah i could use just about anything but

i’m not gonna buy a worse computer for the purpose of just doing homework

i had a 7800x3d in my desktop but some combo of the cpu/board/psu is on deaths door so i’m moving to my 265k tuesday

[wise bear]

[merry stirrup]

do not call me out

[wise bear]

call floppa out

[grizzled lily]

wait am I missing a trend for minumum 32 gb ram?

[shell void]

im with you twin

[merry stirrup]

person with no 2 dimm board

[wise bear]

Ram comes Tuesday let's goooooooo

[pure garnet]

i’ve owned a 1dpc board before floppa

let it be known for the record book

[merry stirrup]

this also isn’t a 1dpc board

[wise bear]

I don't care, I'm excited

[merry stirrup]

let’s not underestimate me now

[pure garnet]

conveniently the board died

[pure garnet]

i went itx in 2020

[shell void]

im out here bein bullied fr

[pure garnet]

okay well if those count

[grizzled lily]

same

[pure garnet]

i had a 1dpc board in 09 buster

my compaq desktop

[merry stirrup]

it was mostly a joke 💀💀

[shell void]

16 cores and 32GB of ram makes no sense, especially if you plan to host VMs

[wise bear]

i have a 2-slot lga 775 sitting in a box

[merry stirrup]

just buy it

329 or 460 for an apex

[shell void]

i have nothing to gain bro my main pc is already quite literally the pinnacle of gaming performance

[merry stirrup]

a real memory controller

[pure garnet]

the fclk in my side

[merry stirrup]

https://tenor.com/view/i-be-profen-gif-9435864923799777590

[wise bear]

[pure garnet]

my pc so cooked

[wise bear]

why did this make me snort

[merry stirrup]

YOU BE WHAT

[shell void]

i will not be flexed on by mfs who both just had their cpus shit the bed

[merry stirrup]

143 gigabytes of dram bandwidth

[merry stirrup]

the difference is that i killed mine and kyokos killed itself

[pure garnet]

bro mine ain’t done shitting

[wise bear]

lmaoooo

[merry stirrup]

yeah the 13900k still does 6800

[pure garnet]

mine is still actively tearing itself down

[merry stirrup]

that’s like quadruple your memory bandwidth /s

[pure garnet]

4ghz and jedec ram is not enough to tame it

[shell void]

pretty close in terms of write

[merry stirrup]

yeah

dat single ccd

[pure garnet]

i dialed my mission of overpaying for a seasonic psu

[merry stirrup]

peak

[pure garnet]

now i’ll have a be quiet

[shell void]

muh pc is super powerful and is super reliable but yeh it is super boring

[wise bear]

wait b&h is in new york?

[pure garnet]

yeah

[merry stirrup]

yes

[wise bear]

til

fedex one-day cross-country don't let me down

[pure garnet]

that’s part of why i didn’t feel like buying a cheap 4 dimm am5 board

[merry stirrup]

kyoko i think we’re going to have our new rigs done the same day

[pure garnet]

i’d have $700 tied up in a platform i do not care about

[merry stirrup]

when yo shit here? tuesday?

[pure garnet]

hopefully

[merry stirrup]

same

[pure garnet]

psu in 4 hours

[merry stirrup]

this is so epic

[wise bear]

new build triplets

[merry stirrup]

we’re gonna twin so hard

[merry stirrup]

me and him will have the exact same compiter

like word for word dawg

[pure garnet]

same cpu, board, aio (mostly), case

[wise bear]

yeah but i get a new computer tuesday too :(

[merry stirrup]

just diff variants

[merry stirrup]

oh i thought you had 5070ti

[pure garnet]

i didn’t pony up for the rgb naut because i didn’t want rgb naut

oh yeah i do

[merry stirrup]

this is incredible

[brisk jolt]

bro fuck microsoft

tfym my pin doesnt work

[merry stirrup]

deadass same computer besides the ram and psu bro

my shit lights up only difference

[merry stirrup]

what x3d?

[pure garnet]

my ram lights up (unfortunately)

[gilded quail]

Microsoft moment 😔 time to download your preferred linux distro :)

[pure garnet]

i’m not leaving the naked kit in because it’s just an objectively worse binned kit

[merry stirrup]

i learned you can pick it off with your fingernails

[pure garnet]

i’ll save it for lga 1700

[merry stirrup]

so i mean do what you will

[pure garnet]

wether mpower or just running it at xmp again

[pure garnet]

it’s like 270 for a new kit rn so it’s staying as is for awhile lol

[merry stirrup]

a flopper is considering cause i could put the mpower and 13900Ks in my girlfriends pc

[shell void]

my 8000cl36 1.4vdd kit will get used eventuallyTM

[merry stirrup]

cause the edge is goin to sis

or i could keep my 2nd z790 for myself and get my gf a ryzen computer

[pure garnet]

fraudbin

i mean hopefully yours isn’t but mine 100% was

[merry stirrup]

nvl brother

[shell void]

i have no way to test if it is unfortunately

[merry stirrup]

i plan on top end sku and oc board

[shell void]

i mean i guess i could test it at like 7600 on the x870 tomahawk but that just sounds like a waste of time to me

[pure garnet]

unless gskill just makes like 900% better pcbs i believe 100% that my kit was improperly binned

pretty sure 7600 is only competitive with 6200 yeah

[shell void]

same

[merry stirrup]

we 1v1

[wise bear]

Y'all remember when pcpartpicker had a bicycle builder?

[pure garnet]

because even the 7800c38 profile didn’t work

[merry stirrup]

w/snail

and maybe kyoko if he’s cool

[pure garnet]

she wants the big cache one

we’ll see what the 52core is useful for before i buy one

[merry stirrup]

absolutely not

[wise bear]

it was like, very early on in the site's life

buried at the bottom of the webpage

[pure garnet]

anything older than skylake i have 0 knowledge on

[wise bear]

child

[pure garnet]

well yeah but i also just had awful money management

i saw cpu pricing as a kid and gave up on building a pc

didn’t end up building till 2019

[wise bear]

I started...

like I started tinkering with shit when I was 12(?)

[merry stirrup]

everything from 775 and upwards

for me

i started ocing on 775

[pure garnet]

i mean i tore apart and reassembled the family computer

[merry stirrup]

since i could hold a screwdriver the autism took hold and made me take things apart

[wise bear]

the earliest I remember is the clamshell optiplex tower and a commodore 64 breifly before that

[pure garnet]

but i couldn’t save up enough to like build my own pc

i was gonna throw a 660ti into the family pc to play fallout 4 but i was scared of doing a psu swap

[merry stirrup]

like ages 3-6 i was figuring out how to take vcrs apart and mess wit it

[merry stirrup]

aughhh would’ve been meta though

woulda ran fine

[wise bear]

I remember when I started taking cd drives apart and I'd get upset when I couldn't get them back together lmao

[pure garnet]

bro it was like a 2009 atholon dual core

[merry stirrup]

trust

[pure garnet]

that cpu is also why i have a permanent burn mark on my finger

[merry stirrup]

the power of windows 7 prevails

[pure garnet]

i ran it with no cooler then touched it to see how hot it was

[wise bear]

ayo the ham cooker??

[merry stirrup]

😭😭💀

[pure garnet]

my skin was warping under the sink bro

[merry stirrup]

😭bro

at least you learned your lesson

fyi kyo my cpu took

0 effort for 9133

like it just worked right away on auto

[pure garnet]

i think the master is just insane conservative with voltages

[merry stirrup]

idk what’s it settin

[pure garnet]

because my sa was 1.25v to your 1.45v

[merry stirrup]

i mean for such low speeds like 8400 or whatever yeah that makes sense

[pure garnet]

i’m also in intel defaults tho idk if you were or not

[merry stirrup]

during my ram tune yes

[pure garnet]

i have 0 intent in touching cores i’m ngl

honestly if i got 52 core nova it’d probably be an ecc jecec box

[merry stirrup]

i’m gonna fiddle with percore

[pure garnet]

where i use it as a build server or something

[merry stirrup]

like x cores active

[pure garnet]

• all my other stuff i host now

[merry stirrup]

cause skatterv got good results with that+core cycler

so prolly gonna do a 57 <=4 core tune
