My sister had a 700 sq ft condo that was $1.8M

[lone scarab]

was thinking of buying one but also thing of getting outta this country 💔💔💔

[whole coral]

Damnnn

[keen wigeon]

I may or may not have fried the receiver with hose because I saw a spider.

[topaz veldt]

Mark I want like... an amp w/ a receiver built in that I can just stream to

I want simple

[merry stirrup]

good morning

[keen wigeon]

same, thats all it was.

[topaz veldt]

sup flops

[topaz veldt]

but these new jawns are all zones and DSP and shit

[whole coral]

The bathroom wasn’t actually part of the renovation. The bathroom happened earlier

But living room, kitchen, bedrooms and hallway yes it was renovated

[topaz veldt]

I did a like 600 sq ft kitchen remodel

[whole coral]

I feel like the kitchen is the most expensive part of the renovation

[topaz veldt]

yeah it was not cheap

[keen wigeon]

I'm thinking something like this https://www.denon.com/en-us/product/mini-systems/ceol-n-12/300671.html

[topaz veldt]

Man denon used to be champagne

my prob is that these outdoor speaker systems are daisy chain

[keen wigeon]

now it is the champagne of beers

[whole coral]

Damnnn that’s nice

[keen wigeon]

ah, I really just need to sorta deal with being able to network it up and be able to run the projector off from it

[topaz veldt]

Much to Guiltys hatred I put a tv over the fireplace

[whole coral]

A fireplace lol

[topaz veldt]

Yeah the Sonance jawns don't do video, they do ARC but no video

[keen wigeon]

damn son that's fancy pants.

[topaz veldt]

but it'll work and apparently its RJ45 for wired lan so I am thinking of putting the amp/receiver thing in the server rack

[whole coral]

The kitchen in this home. Small

I like it though

[lone scarab]

not really

its fine

[keen wigeon]

home assistant + face recognition : you return home sad faced and it plays bittersweet symphony. You return happy and it plays all I do is win

[whole coral]

The tall ceiling is definitely a perk though

Ceiling height is about 12 feet

[topaz veldt]

what when you return home with two kids tackling each other on the porch screaming because the other wouldn't let them open the door

[keen wigeon]

you also got them corn flakes

[topaz veldt]

I am kind of over high ceilings

everything fucking echoes

[whole coral]

Actually max ceiling height is 14-15 feet

[keen wigeon]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ItKO_WJqdU0&list=RDItKO_WJqdU0&start_radio=1

[whole coral]

Tall ceilings are nice for this though

Skylights. Love it.

[wise bear]

ugh I love those vaulted ceilings

[keen wigeon]

Love it!

[wise bear]

If I ever do my barn cabin I will demand vaulted ceilings and skylights

[keen wigeon]

we have a giant ceiling in our entryway that goes way up

I don't service the fire alarm up there. I call in sexy firemen and they do it for me

[lone scarab]

😨

[whole coral]

Vaulted ceilings for the win

[wise bear]

yaaaaas 💅

[topaz veldt]

these are like.... 20 ft prob

[steel stream]

No TV over fireplace 🙏

[whole coral]

Damn nice tree

[topaz veldt]

fake tree that year lol

[whole coral]

Oh lmao

[wise bear]

I'm more looking at that fireplace tbh

[lone scarab]

gigantosaurus

[wise bear]

is it gas or wood?

[topaz veldt]

that one is wood

[wise bear]

Yessss

[whole coral]

Classic

[topaz veldt]

have 2 wood and one gas

[wise bear]

I want fireplaces to become more commonplace again, especially wood-burning ones

I love chimneys on houses, it's such a funky little bit of character

[lone scarab]

dont expect santa

[wise bear]

I'm my own santa

[lone scarab]

saton

peynta

[whole coral]

Ngl I thought the windows in this home were single pane but as I looked closer it’s double pane

Makes sense though. Winters here can get pretty cold

[lone scarab]

double pane perfecto

[livid flame]

They’ve been making a comeback in the UK

[whole coral]

Triple pane windows exist but more expensive

[wise bear]

I'm a welsh painter now

[wise bear]

ok but I don't wanna live in the uk :(

them and their gross healthcare

[livid flame]

You mean peintiwr

The healthcare is fine

[wise bear]

Nnnnno

[livid flame]

If you want better just pay for it

Same surgeons etc it’s just queue skipping and you can choose

[whole coral]

Even double pane windows couldn’t prevent this

It was like -9F (-23C) outside. Very cold

Ice formed inside the home on the windows

[wise bear]

dude the "pay for private" cost in the uk is more than most monthly bulk-coverage healthcare plans here

[livid flame]

It’s double pane on wood. That’s the problem

Oh it’s expensive

I get small amounts of stuff from work. It’s not much but helps with some stuff

[livid flame]

It’s also not sealed correctly

[wise bear]

I'll keep milking insurance until I have enough of my medication saved up to last a couple years at a minimum and then I'll consider hopping countries

[whole coral]

Maybe your right lol

I always feel like the cold air comes into my bedroom from that window even if it’s closed

[livid flame]

Wood is a bitch to seal tbh and breakdown quicker

[light wigeon]

guyz peyton is typing

omfg

[livid flame]

Yeah our bathroom and kitchen is wood, rest of the house plastic. You feel the difference

[whole coral]

Yeah

[wise bear]

also uk trans healthcare barely exists tbh, there's a several-years-long waitlist for anything under the NHS and any third-party clinics or GPs are ungodly expensive

so.. uk healthcare is no bueno

[whole coral]

Also this bedroom doesn’t get a lot of airflow anyways from the furnace so I have to leave the door open to get warm air inside this room

Yeah it’s not great

[oak vector]

It exists here in aus
Just
Very expensive

Idk about gov care though

[wise bear]

I type a lot tbh

[whole coral]

This bedroom in the winter can be like 60F while the rest of the home is up near 70F

[wise bear]

I didn't even know that aus had centralized/gov healthcare

[oak vector]

My ex bfs top surgery was absurd from memory

Like. Nice second hand car expensive

[wise bear]

I bet at least half was anesthesia

[oak vector]

Oh we do!!
It’s actually really good

Like. Yk. Free dental for minors, heavily subsidised for adults
Free hospital
Free surgeries
Idk list goes on

[wise bear]

I think an uninsured top surgery in the states runs like.. idk, $10k in full probably?

[oak vector]

Crazy thing is it was so quick
Like not even 1.5hrs

[whole coral]

So glad I have health insurance from my mom

[wise bear]

This is going to sound gross but like

[whole coral]

She works in the healthcare industry

[wise bear]

ftm top surgery is like scooping ice cream out of the bucket

(not really but it's funny in my head)

[oak vector]

LMAO 😭
There’s a little bit of sculpting but that’s pretty funny

[lone scarab]

peuton

[lone scarab]

or maybe putting in?

[merry stirrup]

my overclocking friends arent awake yet :(

[oak vector]

I can over clock
(I can’t bro just pbo fr)

[lone scarab]

i overclock clock

my clock is 2x faster

[wise bear]

Ftm top surgery means breast removal

[merry stirrup]

what if you wanna be a guy with insane knockers tho

[lone scarab]

oh i thought it was for both

[wise bear]

Most alcoholic 40+ year olds already have a rack though

[pale grove]

then it would be mtf

[merry stirrup]

i said

[lone scarab]

thats like eh

[leaden dawn]

FtF+DLC

[merry stirrup]

a guy. with huge knockers.

[oak vector]

Ts valid
My bestie is trans and like
He FLAUNTS those mfs to hell and back it’s so funny

how many bricks does your house have

[oak vector]

1

[lone scarab]

[lone scarab]

@lone scarab reasonable

[pale grove]

at least 27

[lone scarab]

ok wtf

[lone scarab]

reasonable

[pale grove]

I live in an apartment

[wise bear]

Salted almonds are pretty dope tbh

[pale grove]

so many bricks

[lone scarab]

never tried

[lone scarab]

brick by brick

[pale grove]

brick by brick

[lone scarab]

😭 😭

[wise bear]

You should try them tbh, there's tons of different flavors

[lone scarab]

never seen..

tbh

will check

[young void]

Hmm

[merry stirrup]

shouldnt be a problem

[young void]

Just browsing and comparing with snails ill check the msi soon to

[merry stirrup]

max allowed swing is +- 300mV

my bad, its more than that

[young void]

Seems alright

[merry stirrup]

should be good. i've had weird things happen tho using like extensions on my 24 pin etc

[raven citrus]

how can i undervolt the hell out of my 2060

"rain expected to stop soon"
it has been more than a week since it last rained

what is my weather app upto bro

[frank zealot]

ohhhh, Asrock 80+ Gold Tier B+ 1000W PSU - 110$

https://slickdeals.net/f/18759127-asrock-steel-legend-atx3-1-80-plus-gold-modular-psu-black-1000w-110-1200w-140-free-shipping?src=frontpage

Tier A 1200W - 140

[merry stirrup]

gud

[frank zealot]

that's a damned solid price

[merry stirrup]

damn you can get some b650 boards with a shitty kit of ddr5 rn

for 0 extra cost, payin 99$ for a new b650+16gb d5? not bad

https://www.newegg.com/gigabyte-b650m-gaming-plus-wifi-micro-atx-motherboard-amd-b650-am5/p/N82E16813145502?

[frank zealot]

Aorus Elite V2 is only 136 after discount

that's also solid for the price

[merry stirrup]

yeah

[frank zealot]

(no RAM tho)

[merry stirrup]

the ram is shit but if you need the ram thats a good prtice on that 99$ thing

[frank zealot]

shows 110 for me

[merry stirrup]

oh prolly was that and im stupid

also not bad

[young void]

Also sorry for lack of screenies dont run disc on my pc often

[wise bear]

how goes the recovery?

[merry stirrup]

damn i idnt know things were broken

[young void]

Luckily feeling better just alittle bit of congestion now and occasional pressure in my ears but feeling a tonnn better

$199 on amazon also

[young void]

The msi

[frank zealot]

Chat, sell me on a direction to fuck around with:

PFSense vs OPNSense

I'm looking at building a router out of spare parts from work, and deciding which platform to use

[hoary hatch]

Probably opnsense but PFSense is fine so meh

I use PFSense and never bothered testing out opnsense cause my PFSense setup "just works"

[young void]

Any free titles that crash ya snails?

[frank zealot]

and do I do the router bare metal, or do I do a proxmox vm

[hoary hatch]

Bare metal

[frank zealot]

okay, 6500T is is for the cpu

[hoary hatch]

Why are you copying my router

[frank zealot]

and I think I can have 9 NICs in the box

[frank zealot]

because I have a bunch of scrap 6500T tinies, and i'm gonna steal a CPU and move it to a box I can put a PCIE NIC in

[fringe vigil]

baby if I had one wish, we would be best friends, love will never enddd

[hoary hatch]

I guess it's not really copying
I use full TDP 6500

[fringe vigil]

Navy do you have oled

[hoary hatch]

OLED monitor?

[fringe vigil]

Tv monitor

[hoary hatch]

Or TV

TV monitor
Kill me

[fringe vigil]

[young void]

Lol

[hoary hatch]

I use a 27" QD-OLED monitor

[fringe vigil]

27 inch

[hoary hatch]

My household also has a 65" LG OLED C9

[fringe vigil]

need bigger ngl

[hoary hatch]

Waiting for 5k 32"

[fringe vigil]

That’s already out isn’t it

[hoary hatch]

Naw

Samsung was demoing the panels earlier this year

But I haven't seen a monitor using it yet

Unless I completely missed something

[frank zealot]

in my defense, the box has a 6500 non-T right now, but I'm moving to a T, because... why not?

[hoary hatch]

But I'd expect monitors to be showing that panel at CES 2026

[frank zealot]

lower power CPU for a router is a perfectly reasonable direction

[hoary hatch]

Lol there's no real world difference I was just noting it's not technically the same CPU

I tried to get my hands on a 7700T for free but that fell through

[frank zealot]

the only difference is that the T Chip is like 15 or 20w tops? (Not that it'll ever get that high)

[hoary hatch]

Uhhhh

I thought 35W TDP

Vs 65W

[pure garnet]

intel says 35w max

[frank zealot]

yup 35

[pure garnet]

my thinkcenter has a 65w brick for the whole thing

so it still makes a difference

[hoary hatch]

My router has a 500W gold fully modular SFX-L PSU because it's very necessary for my 50W cpu

[fringe vigil]

Why don’t you like the tv oleds

[hoary hatch]

48" is too big for my desk

[frank zealot]

I got one of these, that I'm turning into the router.

Reason: Two low-profile PCIE Slots means I can add 8 extra NIC Ports

[fringe vigil]

42

[hoary hatch]

Okay 42" is too big for my desk

Also there are some games that I appreciate 240hz in

[frank zealot]

42" is pretty big for a desktop monitor in general, unless your desk is REALLY deep

[merry stirrup]

yo

ive got thousands of these mfs at work

[frank zealot]

turn one into a PFSense router

add some 4 port PCIE NICs

[merry stirrup]

id need some good networking to make it better than my included one

[pure garnet]

i need better access points before i ever think about building a router

[frank zealot]

I use a Surfboard Modem, and an ASUS Router currently.

I'm considering upgrading to the PFSense box + a ded AP. (Or just turning the ASUS into an AP)

[hoary hatch]

There's a picture of what is currently my router

[pure garnet]

i have a dummy ont so i use my google stuff as router+ap

[hoary hatch]

I think I was running high Sierra or Mojave when that picture was taken

[pure garnet]

moved to wired backhaul but the aps are only good for 450-500 or so

[frank zealot]

(I just ordered a 4 port 2.5gbit NIC to add to this box, I'll probably have it tomrorrow or Wed.)

4x 2.5 gbit ports PCIE
4x 1gbit ports PCIE
1x onboard 1gbit port

[hoary hatch]

Oh wow can I really get 6 ports in a single full height card

[merry stirrup]

damn that is a squeeze

[frank zealot]

apparently yes

[hoary hatch]

I don't use mine for switching tho

2.5GbE wan and 2.5GbE LAN that goes to a 2.5GbE unmanaged switch

[frank zealot]

I want fewer parts if I can

so by adding ports, no more switches

[hoary hatch]

Lmao

I have 4 switches in use?

Dual 2.5GbE switches, dual gigabit switches

[frank zealot]

If I can get cabling over to my bedroom PC, I'll need a switch there, but.... I want as few as possible

[hoary hatch]

Actually might be back down to a single gigabit switch

[merry stirrup]

are they stupid switches

[hoary hatch]

Yep

All unmanaged

Cheap and fool proof to setup

Although the 2.5gbe switches weren't that cheap...

But I'm still using the switch I bought sophomore year

[frank zealot]

This is a sick setup:
Ikea Fjallbo

you can add on the rails and just install 19" Rack hardware

[steel stream]

hmm

[gilded quail]

That's kinda sick

[merry stirrup]

man

[hoary hatch]

Cheap

[merry stirrup]

man :(

[hoary hatch]

Look it was largely to connect stuff like various consoles to Ethernet, etc

Or running one cable back to a room and having a few devices on it

[frank zealot]

so a friend is looking to unload her xbox one....

This is tempting

[merry stirrup]

hmmmm i think its fine to get a pass then

ive got two, 3 switches? only one is commonly in use

[hoary hatch]

My switches largely exist to use one cable to connect multiple devices that are far away from my router.
Also just to reduce load on my wifi

[merry stirrup]

thats fair

[pure garnet]

i only use 1

[merry stirrup]

i figured out ycruncher sauce

i got +.24 bps w/out any clock increase or change

[pure garnet]

i saw your ping and then had about 30 other things occur inbetween processing so i didn’t notice which part got overclocked

[merry stirrup]

look at the Effectives

[green marsh]

https://www.amd.com/en/blogs/2025/continued-support-for-every-radeon-gamer.html

[merry stirrup]

grilled image but you should be able to kinda make it out

theyre locked at the proper freq instead of freaking out

[pure garnet]

oh yeah nice

[merry stirrup]

disable pcore density throttling at the bottom of cpu configuration

and maybe CEP, i did it at the same time lol

you need to cold boot once for it to activate so let the pc turn on after you apply that then psu off and such

should significantly help eff clock

id only get swings of 5-15mhz across all cores on avg instead of like 300+

[pure garnet]

i'll look later

rn i haven't done much ocf with the ocf

need to finish the d2d thing im sleeping on it

[slim pebble]

12VHPWR doesn’t work on any card 😂. https://videocardz.com/newz/second-sapphire-radeon-rx-9070-xt-suffers-burned-12v-2x6v-connector

[stark sphinx]

Man i love being so heavily Gpu limited that upgrading to an Ryzen 7 7800x3d gives me basically no performance improvements 99% of the time.

[merry stirrup]

poor budget allocation says what?

[frank zealot]

that sounds like bad planning on your part

[stark sphinx]

My rx 7900xt wants you hear the question again

[gilded quail]

Powerful card is not the same as good budget allocation

[merry stirrup]

poor budget allocation says what?

[gilded quail]

Thinking otherwise just proves the point

[merry stirrup]

probably couldve had an XTX and a 9700x or 7700x

or even a 5070ti, depending on when you put it together

[stark sphinx]

But i am happy about the extra m2 slot i now have

Now my second operating System drive doesn't have to go through the chipset anymore

[whole coral]

Edge computing. Cool.

Always thought that processing data closer to the end user was better than processing it at a centralized data center

[stark sphinx]

I cant even tell you correctly when i but it together as my current build by now an collection of upgrades made over a timespan of 10 years

[merry stirrup]

sure and mine is too but in reality its one computer

just depends on when you spent the money on upgrades most recently

[whole coral]

20% to predicted 50% from 2024 to 2029. Decent growth.

[stark sphinx]

Most recent would be almost 3 weeks ago

Anyway i still need to tweak my case fan curves a little. Whole thing is a bit too loud for my taste

[hollow garden]

yo

[merry stirrup]

meow

[hollow garden]

lemme ss rq

[merry stirrup]

yur

[merry stirrup]

at least its a custom rig

[dusty lotus]

bro bought on cex

[hollow garden]

im changing operating system

[merry stirrup]

it definitely wont support XMP, if you were the guy asking earlier

[hollow garden]

no, but i do need tpm2.0

[dusty lotus]

you dont

[hollow garden]

if so ill change motherboard

[hollow garden]

for bo7 i do

its a req

[dusty lotus]

8th gen has tpm2 built in

[hollow garden]

i have a i5 9400f with a gtx 1080 8gb rn and it doesnt

this pc im selling to a mate

[dusty lotus]

and i have a secondary pc with a 9100 and it has tpm2

tbf its a repurposed office pc

[hollow garden]

Would you say that pc is worth the 170 tho

with 32gb ram and its a full build

[low sorrel]

https://videocardz.com/newz/one-asrock-b850-motherboard-reportedly-kills-three-ryzen-7-9700x-cpus

You know after number 1 I would be very cautious of that board and especially after number 2

[dusty lotus]

170 uk dollars

[hollow garden]

uk dollars lol

[stark sphinx]

Sounds fine to my dumbass

[dusty lotus]

i paid 100 eur for this office pc with just the cpu and original 8gb of ram

[hollow garden]

This is what im planning on upgrading too

[dusty lotus]

turned into a low end gaming pc with a gpu and ram

[merry stirrup]

100$ is a bit mouch for a 9700K

[hollow garden]

just less than 360 total for a total cost of 530

[merry stirrup]

why are you getting a K, can you get a 9700 or similar instead for cheaper?

[hollow garden]

5 year warrenty too

[dusty lotus]

100 uk dollars is like 80 usd

[hollow garden]

same price

[merry stirrup]

uhhh

[merry stirrup]

its like 120$ usd

[dusty lotus]

hold on i calculated that wrong

[merry stirrup]

youre like years wrong on that data my boy

[dusty lotus]

wrong direction

[merry stirrup]

lol

[dusty lotus]

excuse

[merry stirrup]

then ig its chilling

you better hope cex loves you and gives you a Z board with it

cause then youll actually be able to overclock it

[hollow garden]

RTX 2080 TI 11GB £255-£270
RTX 3060 12GB £200-£220
RTX 3060 TI 8GB £200-£245
RTX 3070 8GB £230-£270
RTX 3070 TI 8GB £250-£280
RTX 3080 10gb £320-340

RTX 4060 8GB £185-£220
RTX 4060 TI 8GB £250-£270

that was my graphics card options

[merry stirrup]

if you had to pick at the 250$ option id geta 2080ti

[dusty lotus]

repurposed office pc and it runs games well

[hollow garden]

ythat was what i was going to get

[merry stirrup]

i think it should be a little faster than the 3070, but it has more vram

so thats cooler

[hollow garden]

the 2080 ti is the same as the rtx 3070

[dusty lotus]

1650 with just 4gb running many games fine

[hollow garden]

3070 ti is a little faster like 15%

[merry stirrup]

and then save up 60-70$ for a 1080p 144hz monitor

[merry stirrup]

yeah imo the vram difference makes up for the -15% performance

[hollow garden]

i dont use it all tho

[merry stirrup]

going to 1440p in the future will

[hollow garden]

i play warzone on 1080p low settings and some on medium

[merry stirrup]

you dont have to do that anymore

[hollow garden]

when i played with the gtx 1080 8gb i used 4gb vram

[drifting glade]

im so glad im not the only one that calculates exchange rate with directions LOL

[merry stirrup]

the whole point of a gpu upgrade is so it doesnt run as poorly anymore my boy

[dusty lotus]

200 euro for this thing

[merry stirrup]

you got scammed

[dusty lotus]

nah it was like 250-300 new when it released

[hollow garden]

i just want the game to run smoothly around 150 fps with no spikes

[merry stirrup]

150fps on a 60hz monitor

[dusty lotus]

this monitor has features many dont

[merry stirrup]

like?

[hollow garden]

im not that good with hz n all that shit

i just plug in and play

[merry stirrup]

hz=how much fps your monitor can display

[hollow garden]

ohhhhh

thats why my game feels like ass

[merry stirrup]

if you dont have a monitor with 120hz refresh, you dont see 120 frames per seocond

[hollow garden]

so if i want to paly 144fps i want a 144hz montiro

[dusty lotus]

it has 30w usbc charging, dp passthrough, a LIGHT SENSOR, factory calibrated and verified 100% srgb coverage, true 8bit, ips and various other features

[merry stirrup]

yes, and theyre really not that expensive right now

[hollow garden]

ahhh

[merry stirrup]

in my area commonly for literally 30-60$

[hollow garden]

i got 2 60hz monitors rn lol costed me 20 quid each

[dusty lotus]

its an office monitor on steroids

[merry stirrup]

get a new 144hz 1080p for cheap and sell one of your old ones for 20$

[dusty lotus]

its no gaming

[merry stirrup]

yeah that you paid 250$ for man

[dusty lotus]

200 euro

[merry stirrup]

i paid 160$ for my S2716DG

[dusty lotus]

brand new

[hollow garden]

so i should get the rtx 3070 ti with the i7 9700k with a 144hz monitor and cap my fps to 144?

[merry stirrup]

no reason to cap fps but the rest of that sounds good

[hoary hatch]

I paid $250 for my first office monitor

[dusty lotus]

only thing it doesnt have is speakers

other than that its a great non gaming monitor

price doesnt matter much

[merry stirrup]

what

[hoary hatch]

I lied, it was $240

[hollow garden]

only reason im going with the i7 9700k as the motherboard im getting inthis pc is lga 1151, and this is the second best lga 1151 cpu below the i9 9900k

[dusty lotus]

tbf i paid like 1200 eur for my main

[merry stirrup]

was it 1600x900 and 75hz cause youre old

[edgy laurel]

If you're going to cap it should be at 139fps

[hollow garden]

and the i9 9900k is like 160

[merry stirrup]

yeah, dont buy a 9900k

paying for hyperthreading in the big 25 would be sad

[hollow garden]

yea im not waste!

[merry stirrup]

yippie!

[hoary hatch]

Damn that is painful

[hollow garden]

60 quid extra for same performance

[merry stirrup]

jeeebus

i paid 550$ for my monitor tbh

however its da 1440p 360 oled

[edgy laurel]

no comment

[dusty lotus]

my main dropped to 999 when i bought it and its 1200 again

[stark sphinx]

Is it a good time that my monitor cost me almost 400 euro?

[merry stirrup]

i either got ripped off or you spent too much money

[hollow garden]

so the end specs of my new pc will be

Intel i7 9700K
RTX 3070 TI 8gb
32GB DDR4 3200mhz
250gb ssd
1tb harddrive

all for as low as £460 after i trade in the GTX 1660 TI and the i5 8400

[dusty lotus]

guess my monitor on the price

[edgy laurel]

no, and yes

[merry stirrup]

https://tenor.com/view/doctor-evil-austin-powers-facebook-meme-gif-gif-23192880

[hollow garden]

and the extra i get for the trade in ill get the 144hz monitor

[merry stirrup]

this sounds like a fire plan

[edgy laurel]

in hindsight its insane what I paid for PG348Q in 2016

[merry stirrup]

even if you only got the 144hz monitor youd think you got a new pc

[stark sphinx]

Why not ditch the hard drive for an bigger SSD?

[shell void]

speaking of 1440 oled; TFTCentral posted their review of the PG27AQWP-W (1440p540Hz glossy WOLED) today, and as expected it is the new motion lovers’ dream monitor

[merry stirrup]

i agree as well

[hollow garden]

Coming in the prebuild

for 170 total i will upgrade in the future

[shell void]

brightest oled monitor in sdr and hdr for both greyscale and colors

[merry stirrup]

im sure ill say the same thing about me 360hz

[fringe vigil]

Are nanocells still good

[hollow garden]

the exact pc im getting but im paying around 100 less by getitng the 170 prebuild and upgrading the graphics card and cpu

[merry stirrup]

michael i finally made the 265k fast

[stark sphinx]

Yeah like how i around the same time got myself ab 4k 60hz monitor for over 800 euro

[merry stirrup]

1.4 * 10^10 in yc

compared to max tune 13900KS which was 1.25

[dusty lotus]

1800 nits is crazy bro mine only goes to 1200

[merry stirrup]

my newest panel?

[merry stirrup]

hear me out i list my oled for 400$, go back to the s27 and buy that later

[hollow garden]

200hz for 84 quid

[merry stirrup]

seems cheap as shit, doesnt even matter if its good (like min maxed) for someone like you, go for it

[low sorrel]

When'd you buy it

[merry stirrup]

if one of them is IPS, get that one

if theyre both VA, i probably wouldnt buy either

[shell void]

you probably won’t be willing to pay what it costs

im expecting $1300

[merry stirrup]

so youre telling me its a rip off

[hollow garden]

there we go 144hz for £60

0.5ms responce time

[low sorrel]

That one is IPS btw

[merry stirrup]

and its IPS, cool

[stark sphinx]

I kinda want to experience VA for myself to see what all that hate is about

[merry stirrup]

ooh get the dell one if its IPS

85$ for 200HZ id get that

[edgy laurel]

$1300 for 1440p is bought by your esports team for you territory

[dusty lotus]

wow lg discontinued my monitor already

[merry stirrup]

yeah 1300$ for a 27inch monitor

[fringe vigil]

Dutch sybau and go back to tahiti

[merry stirrup]

i better get some slop behind the fucking ihop for that price michael

[hollow garden]

for the dell

[dusty lotus]

i got a PLAN

[merry stirrup]

yea

[low sorrel]

Tf is in that monitor a 600 dollar bar of gold?

[fringe vigil]

THAT PLAN is wrong cowpoke

[merry stirrup]

4-5 months?

[shell void]

if you want the best motion lover monitor in existence then don’t show up to the store with empty pockets

[hollow garden]

i can get the 27 inch one for 105

[merry stirrup]

up to you

[low sorrel]

Oh never mind I saw 1440p OLEDs on sale for 400 on reddit

[fringe vigil]

Shit

[merry stirrup]

are they 360hz

but i wouldnt buy the same monitor i have id go for the asus one or whatever

its only like 50$ more

has a gooder osd

[low sorrel]

I don't know man it was like 3 days ago

[dusty lotus]

hear me out, 4k is the best gaming res

[merry stirrup]

hear me out, probably, but im not buying a 4k display

[hollow garden]

why is it shit?

[merry stirrup]

he doesnt know

respectfully

[stark sphinx]

Hey don't make mine sad

[pure garnet]

27” 1080p is rough

[fringe vigil]

Ass black levels, bad refresh rate,

[hollow garden]

budget build

[fringe vigil]

Ass picture quality

[merry stirrup]

okay find one better for the same price

[pure garnet]

so what

[clear pasture]

uh what is a generic billboard device that i can eject

[fringe vigil]

What’s your budget

[pure garnet]

24” is right there and won’t sear your eyes out

[merry stirrup]

he means buy the 24

[hollow garden]

around 100 max

[shell void]

yeh it’s the best that we have rn

[merry stirrup]

and in the UK

[devout ridge]

eject it and see what stops working

[shell void]

2160p 240Hz is the sweetspot out of what’s available today

[fringe vigil]

Westie go with it buddy you’ll be okay

[dusty lotus]

i own i approve

[merry stirrup]

yeah stepped down real fast

[hollow garden]

24 inch is 20 quid less

[stark sphinx]

I "only" got 4k 144hz

[merry stirrup]

1440p 360hz on valorant was great

[fringe vigil]

bec why would I help him with a 100 budget

[pure garnet]

24 inch 1080p is better

[low sorrel]

Dual mode 4k 240hx best change my mind

[merry stirrup]

i went like 34ish and 8 like 4 games in a row yesterday

[fringe vigil]

They’re all shit for that price

[low sorrel]

Just like you

[merry stirrup]

because you cant

[fringe vigil]

Okay buddy

[merry stirrup]

you refuse to accept anything but the best as purchasable

the best in a specific price point has to exist

[dusty lotus]

i literally have that 😭 i rarely use dual mode i just keep 4k in every game

[merry stirrup]

yeah i feel like it would be a hassle

[shell void]

1440p 540Hz and 2160p 240Hz are equivalents in terms of pixels per second, they’re the two highest specs ATM

you pick based on whether youd rather have better frames or more frames

[low sorrel]

I mean I swap to 4:3 every time I play val so

[merry stirrup]

pixels per second makes no sense on measuring a displays functionality

[dusty lotus]

i like 4k

[shell void]

sure it does

[merry stirrup]

1x1 @ 1 billion hz

its useless for the rest of the sentence though

[stark sphinx]

Why not 16x9 1hz

[merry stirrup]

you could have the entire sentence make sense by leaving that part out

"buy based on you want more hz or res"

[shell void]

everything in computing is a matter of is bandwidth and latency, resolution is bandwidth, and refresh rate is latency

[merry stirrup]

pixels per second is irrelevant and just sounds confusing

[dusty lotus]

im fine with my games dropping below 120 on 4k than having an extremely smooth motion with visible pixels

[low sorrel]

Just link 8,194,400 together

[shell void]

2160p 240Hz and 1440p540Hz are equivalents but maxed into different trees

[merry stirrup]

yeah thats great why not just say that

[stark sphinx]

No its all a out the 1s and 0s

[dusty lotus]

apple stuck on 60hz 👹

[merry stirrup]

tell this to a normie user man 😭

[shell void]

studio display needs an update so bad 🥀

[merry stirrup]

i dont think a normal person could give me a reasonable definition to hz

[low sorrel]

I hate valorant

How did I lose a game when I was 38-21

[dusty lotus]

display xdr may have high ppi and 5k but 60hz bro at least tell lg to give you 5k 120hz panels

feeling like 120hz is slowly becoming the new 60hz

[shell void]

it is

[devout ridge]

the point is high color accuracy, not high refresh rate

[low sorrel]

We've been saying that for like 5 years

[merry stirrup]

lol

16gb the new 8gb and so on

[shell void]

nah they’re just outdated and haven’t been upgraded yet

apple won’t put out a new 60Hz mac monitor

[low sorrel]

32gb the new 16gb

[devout ridge]

they’re also absurdly color accurate

[stark sphinx]

Did 1 of you see any 8k monitors recently?

[merry stirrup]

yeah, we're now in the weird in between part where the market wants to decide if 24gb sticks are too weird to put into computers

[devout ridge]

i did, they suck

[dusty lotus]

oled when its both color accurate and high refresh rate

[edgy laurel]

inb4 Pro Display XDR2 uses a different mechanism for the stand and its $1000 again

[shell void]

that would be based

[dusty lotus]

that one asus one ltt showed a while ago?

[devout ridge]

Not as color accurate as a the display xdr

[low sorrel]

I saw one in a store a while back

[dusty lotus]

bs

[low sorrel]

It looked the same as 4k icl

[devout ridge]

tf are you talking about “bs”, it’s been third party verified

[dusty lotus]

i have 98.5% dci p3 coverage

[shell void]

the ipad pro oled is apple’s best display, and the macbook pro is getting oled in the 2026 m6 model

there’s nothing exceptional about their current 60Hz IPS panels, they’re just outdated

[stark sphinx]

I haven't seen any 8k monitor irl but would like to

[dusty lotus]

8k is extremely useless these days

[low sorrel]

Probably because it was only 32in

[devout ridge]

i’m not saying the display xdr is worth its price, but it has its uses

[dusty lotus]

youd be fine with 4k

[shell void]

their next desktop monitors will still be LCD though because current 24.5-32” OLED panels can’t get bright enough to meet their latest standards

[devout ridge]

4k is more than enough for anything short of VR

i want more 8k displays in VR headsets

[low sorrel]

My quest 2s PPI kinda sucks

[dusty lotus]

miniled backlight like in their macbooks

[low sorrel]

I see the screen dora effect so much

[shell void]

probably

[stark sphinx]

Yeah but i have a thing for stupid monitors

[devout ridge]

do you also have a trust fund that can afford an 8k monitor

[shell void]

apple wants 1000nits fullscreen on everything new, and none of the current OLED techs can do that with 220ppi at 24-32”

[dusty lotus]

id be fine with miniled but many monitors use shitty ones with low amount of dimming zones

[stark sphinx]

No but i have both my kidneys

[dusty lotus]

oled is fine for now, windows hdr sucks but videos are vivid

[devout ridge]

wasn’t there a monitor that used essentially a lower resolution monochromatic screen as the backlight?

[merry stirrup]

bro my 8k c38 kit was 240$ a couple days ago and now im finding 6k c30 for that price

[low sorrel]

What

[dusty lotus]

what made light in it

a monochromatic oled as backlight would be cool though

[devout ridge]

it was a monochromatic OLED screen iirc

I might be misremembering though

[dusty lotus]

has to be oled

how else do you make light without leds

[shell void]

you might be thinking about dual layer lcd

they use a half resolution monochromatic lcd panel to filter the backlight before hitting the main rgb lcd panel

it murders efficiency so you don’t see it in normie products

[stark sphinx]

Also i want an big e-ink Monitor to game on just for the meme

[devout ridge]

no, no you don’t

[dusty lotus]

speaking of eink

i want it to advance

[stark sphinx]

Oh i do do

[devout ridge]

That sounds like what i’m remembering

[dusty lotus]

i like that ghosting effect of eink

[devout ridge]

eink gaming feels like constantly being concussed

[dusty lotus]

only if e ink became cheaper

[devout ridge]

i wish color e-ink displays for wall art was more of a thing

[stark sphinx]

I dont want an einkaufen monitor for daily use. I want 1 just to troll people

[dusty lotus]

einkaufen

[merry stirrup]

why did german mode activate

[devout ridge]

eink wall poster would be great

[fringe vigil]

Side question. Was 60hz always the standard refresh rate for TVs?

[fringe vigil]

Mary Beth

[dusty lotus]

PAL used and still uses 50hz

60hz was standard generally in other regions such as the us

[stark sphinx]

Cuz i am wondering why TVs get 60hz as an standard when for the longest time there was to my knowledge no 60fps content for them

I probably just have my history wrong

[low sorrel]

Wasn't something something Ac power

[dusty lotus]

as far as i am aware

[fringe vigil]

he’s a rat

[dusty lotus]

we cant fight gravity john

[stark sphinx]

I can

[fringe vigil]

Who says that

[edgy laurel]

The NTSC field refresh frequency in the black-and-white system originally exactly matched the nominal 60 Hz frequency of alternating current power used in the United States. Matching the field refresh rate to the power source avoided intermodulation (also called beating), which produces rolling bars on the screen. Synchronization of the refresh rate to the power incidentally helped kinescope cameras record early live television broadcasts, as it was very simple to synchronize a film camera to capture one frame of video on each film frame by using the alternating current frequency to set the speed of the synchronous AC motor-drive camera. This, as mentioned, is how the NTSC field refresh frequency worked in the original black-and-white system; when color was added to the system, however, the refresh frequency was shifted slightly downward by 0.1%, to approximately 59.94 Hz, to eliminate stationary dot patterns in the difference frequency between the sound and color carriers (as explained below in § Color encoding). By the time the frame rate changed to accommodate color, it was nearly as easy to trigger the camera shutter from the video signal itself.

I am on 285K 24/7 until this TUF comes back or I buy another

[merry stirrup]

the 265k ends up similarly

[topaz veldt]

@merry stirrup how is your shit last i focused in the other DIMMs were broken

[merry stirrup]

got said gskills, their pcb is better, ill probably be able to restabilize 9133 in the case (still dont know why it wouldnt tbh) but im at 9k c38 rn

38-52-16-50-56

[topaz veldt]

so you had the good pair, they dropped and broke? replaced with something but can't do 9133 again?

[merry stirrup]

nah

never did 9133 when i put it in the case, either set of dimms

[topaz veldt]

Ohhhh

[merry stirrup]

does/did 9133 on bench and consistently, idk why it doesnt in the case

[topaz veldt]

I thought 9133 was like... all buttoned up and I was sad

Now I feel less sad

[merry stirrup]

i wasnt able to boot 9266 on the klevvs in the case

i was able to on the gskills

=9133 probably stabilizable again i just need to do things

[merry stirrup]

yeah honestly this one is a curve ball cause ive never had a motherboard do this but

a whole 133 mhz

if i end up not being able to stabilize

not super deep but i am going to try

[topaz veldt]

Word I feel you

[merry stirrup]

im just trying to look in a ceritified good tune that i can use for gaming/general flexing as i setup the min max config

i think its on 1.52 or 1.55 rn

yeah thats about what I ended up on vdd

[merry stirrup]

so, decent dimms

[topaz veldt]

what vddq?

[merry stirrup]

1.4, havent played w/it (much) and it works at 9k so not gonna mess wit it for getting a high end tune done

[fringe vigil]

[merry stirrup]

photo isnt great but if you zoom in and squint you can read enough

@topaz veldt does your apex have the power density throttle option?

also, theres a 200$ brand new 265k on marketplace i may buy for the sake of delid/just science

[topaz veldt]

not sure I don't recognize that term but sometimes shits just called something else

ASUS has uhhh TVB?

[merry stirrup]

we have that too

wonder if it just doesnt exist, it causes my eff clocks (even when power unlocked) to just be terrible though

often dropping below 5ghz during prime, etc

[pure garnet]

granted my chip is weird but i’ve had most luck with 1.35v vddq

[merry stirrup]

cpu or mem vddq cause i was talking about mem

[topaz veldt]

hmmm

I don't see anything anywhere about "power density"

[merry stirrup]

hmmm interesting

ill show you when im home, i go on break/work from home for rest of the day in 30 minutes

do your effective clocks in ycruncher=set/reported clocks?

or does it fluctuate a lot

[pure garnet]

mem

[topaz veldt]

This is one of my other 5090 master ices

[pure garnet]

my 8600 was 1.35 same as my 9000

[merry stirrup]

mem vddq shouldnt have a huge impact from what i grasp based on this board, but, it is a signaling voltage

[topaz veldt]

my ASUS 5090 TUF that was being weird was hanging around 11.8-11.9v

[merry stirrup]

since no memory controller/other mem related settings auto to=vddq_mem

[merry stirrup]

im not sure if thats better or worse, but wouldnt input voltage measurment matter on like per card resistancess

like its different for sure but 11.8 is still well within atx spec

[topaz veldt]

Well its not ATX power

[merry stirrup]

i mean no, but its all we have to go off of, i dont htink the pcie voltage tolerances are public

[topaz veldt]

this is the ATX +12v

[merry stirrup]

its allegedly larger than the atx spec for 24 pin

[topaz veldt]

But yeah I dunno - ASUS 5090 TUF OC was hitting as low as 11.6 under load

[merry stirrup]

that is pretty bad and where id be worried cause thats the bottom of the atx spec

[topaz veldt]

I have no idea if its an "issue" but something I noticed

[merry stirrup]

yeah

different ™

[topaz veldt]

and when I put an air cooled 5090 Master in the same system same 12vhpwr cable, etc., it was 12.1-12.2

(and not crashing and being a POS)

Just 12vhpwr in hwinfo without furmark and with furmark 1080p test running

[topaz veldt]

to me it looks like java-based idrac lol

[turbid locust]

Ight

I use the cable that came with my rm1000e

[edgy laurel]

speaking of java

how early were you playing with Ubiquiti gear

I bought one of the first AP's

the controller software had to be installed on a machine and it was all done in Java

[pure garnet]

not a 5090 but mine didn't drop nearly as much as yours

[topaz veldt]

Their "UAP"? Yeah I think I had 1st gen

[topaz veldt]

yeah its not very comparable

need someone with a 600W load

@merry stirrup what are you running for NGU and D2D?

[merry stirrup]

where’s homie miguel

[edgy laurel]

Yep, the UAP. Management was such a pain

[topaz veldt]

I am just using 200S, 3.2 GHz each

[merry stirrup]

34/40. has kyo informed you of the bug?

[topaz veldt]

no what

[merry stirrup]

you need to test for us

[topaz veldt]

hit me

[pure garnet]

if you sleep with a d2d >30 on both mine and floppas machine it will fail yc/p95 large on resume

[topaz veldt]

oh i saw that ping

[pure garnet]

but pass fine before

[merry stirrup]

and akn

[topaz veldt]

Here's the prob - I don't sleep

[merry stirrup]

me neither but it’s worth it for the write up

sample size so asrock can maybe fix it for us

[pure garnet]

can you sleep it once for science so i can email asrock

[topaz veldt]

well wouldn't 200S have issues then?

[merry stirrup]

allegedly!

[topaz veldt]

Sure... let me find out how to sleep properly

[merry stirrup]

this is what we’re finding out. 3/3 chips so far error out

[pure garnet]

i just hit sleep in windows and insta resume it

[topaz veldt]

what is the bench specifically you want me to do

[edgy laurel]

Start > Power > sleep

[merry stirrup]

it should be under power

[merry stirrup]

vt3 or prime 95

either failed for us

[pure garnet]

p95 large is what i've used but it happens on vt3 too

[topaz veldt]

OK i have prime95 from benchmate

good enough?

[pure garnet]

should be

[merry stirrup]

p sure that’s pi prime

[topaz veldt]

oh yeah its not

grumble grumble

[merry stirrup]

you can use ycruncher it’s fine

[topaz veldt]

wtf is with ycrunch 0.7 vs 0.8

[merry stirrup]

2.5b would fail

[merry stirrup]

.8 is faster, idk why both are included

[topaz veldt]

yeah the scores are totally diff

[merry stirrup]

i’m pretty sure you have to sub runs on .8 now

[topaz veldt]

which do you run?

[fringe vigil]

[merry stirrup]

.8

[merry stirrup]

that will probably fail

if not try going to 5b. but yc failed instantly for me

[topaz veldt]

OK so let me run before sleep, then after

[merry stirrup]

granted i used the program and not they benchmate

[merry stirrup]

okie. sounds good

[topaz veldt]

this is ddr5-8000 intel 200s mode

[merry stirrup]

happened on 3 widely different systems

all unfortunately asrock though

[topaz veldt]

but all asrock?

[pure garnet]

no gigabyte too

[topaz veldt]

ah interesting

[merry stirrup]

OH right

i forgot you had a giga board before this one

[merry stirrup]

shit lived in the foreground

[pure garnet]

if it happens with 200s then like

[topaz veldt]

ok sleeping now goodnight

[pure garnet]

it's 100% an intel bug but idk who to email

[merry stirrup]

sleep tight

idk asrock so they fix it and don’t tell anyone else

let’s goo

[pure garnet]

presumably someone at asrock can also tell the right people at intel

[merry stirrup]

yeah

[topaz veldt]

hi what day is it

[merry stirrup]

michigan

i hope it fails

please be a microcode issue

[edgy laurel]

asrock fixed something? huh

[merry stirrup]

no we hope they will 💀

[edgy laurel]

oh. yeah so do all Ryzen 9000 series owners

good luck with that

[merry stirrup]

well i’ve seen them explode on msi too

[topaz veldt]

lol i went to sleep it did not crasha nd my score is better

[merry stirrup]

interesting!

[pure garnet]

huh

[steel stream]

what?

[merry stirrup]

maybe the bench version matters? let me try that

[pure garnet]

you have 200s mode on? not just manual 32/32?

[topaz veldt]

200S

[civic reef]

Downloading a 270MB driver at 20 KB/S because Nahimic doesn't like my audio driver not being up to date

[edgy laurel]

you got an auto-ping on for keywords or something?😆

[pure garnet]

is it something with vccsa then huh

[civic reef]

Apparently this PC wasn't even using Realtek drivers

[steel stream]

https://tenor.com/view/gandalf-a-wizard-is-never-later-gif-11324448

[edgy laurel]

Better off. Default MS drivers work just fine and cause far less headaches.

[merry stirrup]

hello my beloved akn

[topaz veldt]

So is ASUS back to being the better choice

[merry stirrup]

conveniently we’re talking about you kinda

[civic reef]

Uninstalled the current ones and installing Realtek's newest at a blistering 20 KB/s

[merry stirrup]

well let’s find out

[civic reef]

Well, I kinda need to update because I need to use Nahimic

[pure garnet]

lemme boot 200s

[merry stirrup]

gapped btw

[edgy laurel]

I doubt that, tbh

[topaz veldt]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gY1BaulYqJU

[merry stirrup]

[topaz veldt]

good night fella

[merry stirrup]

arise my child

RIIIISEEEEE

[topaz veldt]

hello - welcome to today, you are new

[civic reef]

Thing was refusing to load, kept saying I need to restart my PC
Restarted, nothing
Deleted, reinstalled, nothing
Now I am just downloading drivers

[merry stirrup]

i wait for benchmate to be happy

i run da benchmark

instant fail.

maybe 200s does somethin here

i go try now

[green marsh]

also RIP my P67 board, it released some magic smoke today. It powers up after that, but it always ends up with code 55 (no RAM)

[merry stirrup]

the computer immediately feels like shit when it wakes up, too

[pure garnet]

i have 0 clue if my cpu is even stable in 200s mode so i gotta run prime for a bit before i sleep

[merry stirrup]

my cpu is, i also don’t get full 200S boost tho

[topaz veldt]

It... should be? Isn't 200S like.... gimp mode

[steel stream]

damn

[topaz veldt]

I should read about 200S I thought it was like remedial OC

[pure garnet]

i haven't tried it since i had the 3 broken xmp profiles kit

[merry stirrup]

always a brick

[topaz veldt]

here's whats funny

I am on 9000 CL42 kit the only XMP in it is 9000 or 6400

[merry stirrup]

oh yeah also. sleeping triggers the aon cold boot bug

[topaz veldt]

and somehow it comes up with some 8000 profile

[fringe vigil]

me waiting for help in ts

[steel stream]

[fringe vigil]

[steel stream]

[pure garnet]
