[south shuttle]

look how many companies went bankrupt in the dotcom bubble and look how much their assets and assets they were buying dropped in price

[hoary hatch]

My mom had an '05 or '06 navigator
Nothing but suspension and AC issues

[topaz veldt]

An entire INDUSTRY failed - this is a section of high-demand compute, its not the same at all

[hoary hatch]

Now she has a not mkx but an mkx

Uhhh

Nautalis?

[topaz veldt]

What do you thnink would happen to DDR5 modules if AI took a 30% production hit? Nothing - my "not AI servers" are already 7-8 week lead times...

Like you simply don't understand this industry/market

Its not collapsing "like the dot com bubble"

[south shuttle]

why are you saying as if it won’t happen

[topaz veldt]

Because it won't - its not the same

[south shuttle]

i’m not saying it will but it may.

[topaz veldt]

OK, but it won't. The whole discussion is moot - and "forecast" is not a hunch or "vibe" - its contracts, so buckle up

[south shuttle]

the assets that are used for AI like datacenters will quickly lose value once they realise little to nothing consumers are willing to pay or investors stop investing

nobody wants an asset that’s negative in profitability

[topaz veldt]

The components that go into AI are already delayed and backordered

They won't "lose value" we can't get them fast enough ALREADY for the last 2 years

I am done here you have no practical knowledge

My entire life of designing datacenters I could get compute in 2 - 3 weeks

Since 2020 its 6-20 weeks

Nothing to do with AI, yet AI only cemented it because of scheduled delivery forecasts so now I know what to expect

This isn't up for debate

[hoary hatch]

5nail I'll let the fabs know to get you those wafers double time

We shall spare no expense

[topaz veldt]

This is my point

[hoary hatch]

Every wafer for 5nail industries

[topaz veldt]

There is no "spinning up production" - its on a like 3-5 year latency

[south shuttle]

… because hype?

[topaz veldt]

What was the hype in 2021 lol

[south shuttle]

same with dotcom

[topaz veldt]

I am not willing to engage this lack of understanding any further

[south shuttle]

hype in 1996, hype in 1997, hype in 1998, hype in 1999, no hype in 2000

no hype in 2001-2010

[wispy iron]

hii

is there anyone that knows a lot about psus

[topaz veldt]

Ask the question

[wispy iron]

i've got a gigabyte h310m s2v and i need to replace my psu

[south shuttle]

because there is more and more hype every day…

[wispy iron]

i was thinking of getting a RM850

[topaz veldt]

I am choosing to ignore you now fyi

[wispy iron]

is it compatible? i tried looking on sites but they don't give a definitive answer

[topaz veldt]

100% compatible

[wispy iron]

oh thats great

[topaz veldt]

That said why are you replacing the PSU in an older machine?

[wispy iron]

thank u ^^

[south shuttle]

who will compensate companies like nvidia once the AI companies that have negative earnings stop getting supported by investors because a market bubble bursts?

[wispy iron]

old psu is not really working

and my computer is good enough for what i do

[topaz veldt]

Got you - you can go two ways - RM850 is a lot for that PC, surely. So buying an 850W can "future proof" you as that PSU could feasibly power a top end PC today. Or, you could go smaller if you wanted to save some money.

[south shuttle]

what’s the price?

and country

[wispy iron]

thats the thing

I don't know what 850 to get

[topaz veldt]

why are you set on 850W though

What GPU do you have?

[wispy iron]

AMD Radeon RX6700XT

[topaz veldt]

You could do a 750W if its much cheaper

[wispy iron]

Really?

[topaz veldt]

would still be way way more than needed

[wispy iron]

I tried asking for help at the computer shop and they recommended the 850

[topaz veldt]

Yeah they prob don't stock others

Today, GPUs will draw like 300-600W and CPUs like 100-200W

so a shop might stock a lot of 850W

Or they may be trying to get you something that would last if you upgrade

What CPU is in this thing

[wispy iron]

i5-9400

not the best from what i've heard but it works

[topaz veldt]

Yeah 850 is a TON for that system

So either they have them and get a good price so it gets the sale, or they are trying to do you a favor should you upgrade in a year or two you have a decent PSU

but a modern 750W can run high end builds also

Your 6700 XT in a Furmark benchmark pulls like 250W with momenty bursts to like 275W. Your CPU is like 50-70W max

[wispy iron]

I don't really know a lot when it comes to pc building, my brother usually helps me

[topaz veldt]

so like... on paper.... you'd need 500W, 650W would be big, 750W is tons, and 850W is way overkill

[wispy iron]

so 750?

I have a network card as well, dunno how much it draws

[topaz veldt]

If its much cheaper and you don't plan on upgrading to anything HUGE in the next year or two or three, yeah 750W

doesn't draw anything appreciable

[lone scarab]

even if you upgrade in future you will probably get better performance drawing lesser power

[wispy iron]

issues?

[topaz veldt]

ignore that

Top right though "Estimated wattage 355W"

Add your network card, storage, fans, call it 400W

650W would be plenty

[south shuttle]

@wispy iron grab atleast a C- unit https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1akCHL7Vhzk_EhrpIGkz8zTEvYfLDcaSpZRB6Xt6JWkc/

B or A if you do have lil more money and the psu should last for a longer time

[wispy iron]

it says my computer is at 414W

[oak vector]

Just checked
Mines a B+
I assume that’s decent

[south shuttle]

the B stands for Bomb and the plus stands for extra explosive

[oak vector]

Considering it’s a gigabyte psu that’s kinda funny

[wispy iron]

I don't think i understand what Im looking at

[south shuttle]

the fun goes until you have a lian li sp850

🏠 🔥

[oak vector]

Basically
Big list of power supplies
With a letter rating assigned to them based on a set of criteria
A tier being the best I believe
F being the worst

[south shuttle]

C/+/- = ok
B/+/- = decent
A/+/- = good

D/+/- = meh
E/+/- = avoid
F/+/- = fuck your power bills, fuck your components or fuck your house

[oak vector]

Funny how the 750w variant was fine

[south shuttle]

only 100w before becoming fire (literally melts)

[oak vector]

Holy shit 😭

[wispy iron]

my brother says my motherboard is mATX?

does that affect which psus i can use?

[south shuttle]

nop

[wispy iron]

oh

[south shuttle]

it mostly affects expansions and looks

[wispy iron]

i see

[south shuttle]

just make sure your case isn’t proprietary and fits atx

(psu)

[shell void]

chat is this a decent computer?

[south shuttle]

the motherboard doesn’t matter what form factor it is aslong your cables can reach and it’s a standard 24pin motherboard

[wispy iron]

i have a montech air 100

[wispy iron]

heres the parts i have

[south shuttle]

nope, needs more rtx pro 6000 bw

[wispy iron]

im in the spreadsheet

but i dont see any lists?

[merry stirrup]

5.9 daily

[oak vector]

flopa

[merry stirrup]

see this makes sense its likle my bios then

[oak vector]

There’s tabs down the bottom you should be able to find the main list

[merry stirrup]

if only you were cool enough to do that

[south shuttle]

take a knife and gently scratch the pins of the socket

[merry stirrup]

nuhuhuh

[south shuttle]

the motherboard requires a haircut once a while

[merry stirrup]

true

[steel stream]

Thanks LG for lying to me!

[brisk jolt]

love it when AMD shot itself and my colour settings revert back to shit

[pure garnet]

no more stone age

[south shuttle]

idk the inches

[pure garnet]

27

[south shuttle]

4th gen qd-oledos?

[merry stirrup]

he wishes

just a nice LCD

[south shuttle]

they’re not even that expensive

atleast for m

[topaz veldt]

27" 4K I dunno

I have thought about it but i feel like it'd be too small for me

[oak vector]

If I ever upgraded it might be a 4K 32 inch

[topaz veldt]

thats what i use daily

[south shuttle]

€535 without VAT for a 32” 240hz 3rd gen
€565 wo VAT for 32” 240hz 4th gen

[oak vector]

rn I have a 32inch 1440p and I really like it ngl

[pure garnet]

i do not wish for a grape juice panel

i wait for 32" 4k 4th gen woled

[merry stirrup]

i dont think its that bad

i think i have a grape juice panel

[south shuttle]

tbh people that say 27” is too small for 4k are liarrzz

[merry stirrup]

id just like bigger yk

[south shuttle]

how long will it take until 4k is the next sweet spot

[topaz veldt]

it... is already

[south shuttle]

1440p looks pixelated after a lot of staring at 27” 4k

[south shuttle]

well, qhd is second most popular after fhd

[topaz veldt]

but with 4K LCDs being cheap now

[south shuttle]

there are about half the users with 4k than with qhd (monitors)

[shell void]

2160p has been the standard for AAA gaming since the PS5 and XSX launched, and 2160p240Hz is the sweetspot for frame quality : frame rate (out of current monitors)

i don’t care that most steam users still have 1080p60Hz monitors

[topaz veldt]

most people don't replace monitors very quickly unless they break

GPUs getting better, 4K displays getting cheaper, 4K will be the sweet spot

[south shuttle]

4k above 60 fps gl running that on a ps5

[shell void]

1440p240Hz is $160usd regularly nowadays so anyone still using 1080p60Hz isn’t in my view of normality for an american at all

[south shuttle]

~40% of users aren’t normal 😭

[shell void]

that’s just obstinate

[merry stirrup]

53% of people use 1080p broski

[shell void]

yeah i don’t care about what the average poor on steam uses

[pure garnet]

text is so much better i will not lie

[south shuttle]

money is a factor

[merry stirrup]

then your view of normality is not normal or valid 😭

[south shuttle]

you actually do expect steam users to have better hardware than your average regular boi

[merry stirrup]

thats just elitism

[shell void]

nah

[south shuttle]

office users usually have even worse monitors

and look at schools

[shell void]

1440p240Hz is $160usd, calling 1080p60Hz archaic is not elitist even a little bit

[merry stirrup]

"you cant afford this cheap (to me ) monitor, therefore you are not normal"

got me fucked up bro

[south shuttle]

yes he spell truth

[merry stirrup]

thats just elitism

[south shuttle]

1440p240hz is like top 10% of monitors

[shell void]

idk how these people afford to live if something like this is completely out of their realm of affordability

[merry stirrup]

thats not particularly the point

[shell void]

yes i know that you just want to call me an elitist because dalits in india rocking low res screens inflate steam hardware survey results

[merry stirrup]

sometimes 65$ is in the budget but sometimes its not smart to spend it all on a thing

[merry stirrup]

or because that was a crazy sentence bro

poor people arent normal

👍

[shell void]

it’s not their fault at all, and it sucks that they got a bad spawn point, but their standard of living isn’t indicative of the average american person

[tiny kite]

wassup nerds

[shell void]

when we talk about averages and sweet spots in the market i assume we’re talking about the first world because this server is predominantly american and canadian

[merry stirrup]

let me explain to my homies little brother that hes poor beccause he cannot afford a high refresh rate monitor fr

[hollow garden]

which one is best for warzone 1080p medium settings?

[pure garnet]

it's certainly a game at 4k

[shell void]

replaying old games at a higher res is fun

[tiny kite]

is that ffo

[pure garnet]

i need to force dlss balanced for free fps

[pure garnet]

ffxiv

[shell void]

hows performance looking at 2160p?

[pure garnet]

like 95fps native in the benchmark

which is more demanding then that place im in

[shell void]

what dlss preset were u using on 1440p?

[pure garnet]

native

[shell void]

o

[pure garnet]

balanced should just dump me close to native 1440p

[wispy iron]

what does atx range mean for a PSU?

[shell void]

quality mode will render at 1440p

upscaling overhead should be minimal, but it isn’t always the case with older dlss implementations

[wise bear]

I wakin', what's shakin'

[shell void]

hi

lunch in 15 minutes 🙏

[topaz veldt]

bro early lunchin

[shell void]

people with soft hands typically eat later lunches because they start later

[steel stream]

I eat lunch at 12:00 and start at 10:00

[wise bear]

I wake up at 6 and eat breakfast at 2

[shell void]

what is your lunch plan today king?

[steel stream]

damn

[pure garnet]

dlss balanced preset j

[steel stream]

leftover spaghetti wbu

[wise bear]

@plucky finch I found you another FF friend

[shell void]

dang that doesn’t seem to have improved fps a lot

[pure garnet]

i cap at 120fps

[shell void]

o

[pure garnet]

lemme turn it off

150 lmfao

well like 130-150 running though this zone

[shell void]

perfect for 160Hz + VRR

[shell void]

i haven’t decided just yet

[pure garnet]

you already know i shut that off twin

[shell void]

i turned it off again yesterday too because flickering was annoying me

[plucky finch]

Ff is a 14 year old game. The only time your gonna get past 120 is in a raid

[proven cairn]

Hey tech-chat-2

[shell void]

hi

[proven cairn]

Final Fantasy?

[plucky finch]

yes

[proven cairn]

Ok

Never played

I like cloud in smash bros though

[autumn rain]

Just about every FF is pretty good. I’d recommend if you like JRPGs

[topaz veldt]

arc raiders is so freaky

[steel stream]

i need to play more

[proven cairn]

New intel gpus??

[fringe vigil]

Shawtys?

[steel stream]

the world is your oyster

[nocturne echo]

yk, i'm thinking of getting a iPhone 15 Pro (from 15), when i got my 15 I was thinking i'd upgrade 2 yrs later, but now I think imma wait until next year, or maybe even the year after (the 20th anniversery phone)

However, it would still be nice to have 120hz, and a actual zoom, so I can get the 15 Pro (for pretty cheap), have all the upgrades i want for pretty cheap and sell my 15 and make back most of the money.

[shell void]

so true king

i’m eating some leftover baked macncheese

[wise bear]

did you heat it up or are you a true chad and down that shit cold?

[hoary hatch]

It's probably fine but I'd personally try to get a 16 pro if it's not too much more

May as well get slight generational improvements if you can

[shell void]

im not based enough to eat it cold

[wise bear]

cold mac is fiiiire especially if the sauce doesn't fully set and it's still a bit runny

put a bit of parmesan on top and a drizzle of hot sauce and you've got a banger breakfast

[steel stream]

you and I have very different ideas of banger breakfasts

[hoary hatch]

@turbid locust explain

[nocturne echo]

True, but looking at ebay; the price of a 15 Pro 512GB is about $550-$650, and a 16 Pro 512GB is about $750-$830.

I'd much rather spend $550 and lose out on the camera control button. I still get the action button. Plus apple intelligence

[wise bear]

I'm a leftover fiend tbh

I get it from my mom, I cook a big batch of food and eat it over the next 3-4 days

[steel stream]

Same, but cold Mac and cheese for breakfast is a bit much

i'd feel like garbage

[hoary hatch]

Yeah I can eat the same thing 15 times in a row

[wise bear]

what do you mean, it's like cold spaghetti

cold spaghetti is also fire

[hoary hatch]

I do enjoy cold gelatinized things

[autumn rain]

The only leftovers I consistently like cold is pizza tbh

[nocturne echo]

ion even like cold pizza fr

[wise bear]

cold pizza is so good oml

[nocturne echo]

if it's meant to be warm/hot, i want it warm/hot

[wise bear]

cold pizza, cold pasta, cold soups I'm iffy on

[autumn rain]

I generally agree, but cold pizza scratches that itch for me sometimes.

[wise bear]

if it's like a stew, full send
if it's like a pea soup, that shit's going on the stovetop

[wise bear]

I can't tell if you're mocking me or agreeing with me

[autumn rain]

Sadly keto and low carb pizzas are not nearly as good cold

[steel stream]

I can do about 3 meals in a row before I get sick of it

[wise bear]

cold ramen is also good if it's brothy af

OH MAN cold thai/chinese is top tier

[autumn rain]

You’ll have to miss me with that I’m afraid

[wise bear]

cold burgers go hard too

[turbid locust]

Idk weird west coast shit

[autumn rain]

There’s too many good Japanese places near me to ever consider eating ramen cold

[wise bear]

fuck you mean hot sauce is west coast

[wise bear]

ELABORATE

[wise bear]

oh I mean if you're doing proper ramen I'll finish the whole bowl, but like if I'm making top ramen or w/e, I don't really care

[steel stream]

cold pink beet soup

[topaz veldt]

ramen like 4,208mg of sodium

[wise bear]

get on spiro and you can eat all the salt you want because you just piss it out

[topaz veldt]

sounds painful

[wise bear]

..You also piss your testosterone out but that's just a mild side effect

[steel stream]

I'll just eat the sodium

[wise bear]

fuck I should get a container of msg

[topaz veldt]

in metal form

[steel stream]

Yeah I need some MSG

[wise bear]

explosive flavor in your mouth!

[steel stream]

makes you feel all warm inside

[wise bear]

just eat chlorine and sodium metal, itll turn to salt in your gut

[steel stream]

mhmm

[wise bear]

https://tenor.com/view/jimmy-neutron-sodium-chloride-cloruro-de-sodio-hmm-thinking-gif-17745370

as a kid that character made me so mad with how stupid he is

[oak vector]

Ngl some cold pizza the morning after a big night……
Not that bad.

[merry stirrup]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xIarrG9ZO4I

[wise bear]

dude cold pizza on a hangover is so good

especially if its stuffed crust

[oak vector]

Im glad someone finally understands

[hoary hatch]

What? No I'm 100% serious

[wise bear]

because you eat the bulk of the slice and then just throw the crust in the microwave for 10s and you've got a cheesy breadstick

[hoary hatch]

A lot of things I'm fine with cold

[wise bear]

Oh based ok

[oak vector]

That sounds absolutely fire honestly

[wise bear]

mega fire if you've got some pasta sauce to dip in

[oak vector]

Honestly
If you’ve made it taste good when it’s hot
There’s a decent chance it’ll be alright cold as well

Tomato based stuff tends to be really good cold

[hoary hatch]

You sound like my partner

[wise bear]

sounds like my sister tbh

I love my sister but I hate that she's so wasteful with food

[hoary hatch]

Meats can be hit or miss when cold

[wise bear]

she like, never eats leftovers

[oak vector]

Valid

[steel stream]

I cook about 5 portions of a meal, eat 4 of them, then cook something new, and eat the last portion the next day

[hoary hatch]

Same with egg things (not counting hard boiled eggs)

[wise bear]

cold meatloaf tho

[shell void]

that's optimal

[dusty lotus]

whats the next step

[oak vector]

I freeze everything
Like.

Microwaves, ovens, and air fryers exist. With those three, there’s a good chance you can reheat whatever without it losing quality

[autumn rain]

I’m beginning to wonder what you even eat that’s hot

[steel stream]

I mean I eat all my leftovers, but just can't eat the same thing for a week

[hoary hatch]

I mean like if you put some chicken thighs in a container then pour some of the juices over it and the fat gels up in the fridge. Great combo for reheating, but kinda weird to eat cold.
If you do the same without pouring the fat back over it, totally fine cold

[oak vector]

Imo that tastes better than when it’s hot

[wise bear]

fresh food tbh

[autumn rain]

Me too man

[wise bear]

this I agree with 100%

[hoary hatch]

I've been eating chili for 3 days straight

[oak vector]

I’ve had curried sausages for 3 days too

[wise bear]

I'm going to portland tomorrow for like a week and all I brought to eat is MREs because I cba to keep ordering fast food

[oak vector]

This is the most based thing I’ve ever heard tbh

[wise bear]

4 MREs for a weeks worth of food is ezpz

[autumn rain]

MRE tierlist?

[wise bear]

chili mac #1

I should do a tierlist tbh, I've got 48 of the damn things

[autumn rain]

Top tier content

[oak vector]

As someone who just became a qualified chef
I think this may be the virtue of food preparation for a trip.

[wise bear]

MREs are versatile as fuck tbh

[oak vector]

I’ve done a challenge where you make a two course dish out of an Aussie mre
Kinda fun haha

[autumn rain]

If they’re the US ones, they’re so versatile they can’t be brought on planes IIRC

[wise bear]

yooo this is a baller idea, I could easily make a fancy breakfast or a mexi stew with the meals I have

[autumn rain]

Although that may have changed

[wise bear]

the heater elements can't, everything else yes

[autumn rain]

Makes sense

[oak vector]

Put your mind to it, you’d be surprised what you make

And there’s like a billion different mre hacks out there too

[wise bear]

I even got these ka-bar spork tools

[oak vector]

That’s so beautiful im gonna cry

[wise bear]

they come in a 3-pack!

[oak vector]

okay I probably need to sleep it’s like 4am

[wise bear]

and for a plastic knife it's sharp af

[autumn rain]

Speaking of things that don’t make it through TSA lol

[oak vector]

It actually looks sick
I want it

[wise bear]

i think eating utensils get a pass

I’ll have to try it if I get a Russian Badger Comically Large Spoon™

[wise bear]

oh my god please video yourself taking it onto a plane

[oak vector]

Oh oh Peyton
I got a lil trailer that I hook up to my scooter for tomfoolery

Im gonna get some assortment of spray paint cans and paint it all auscam style

[wise bear]

omg motorize the trailer too

also LMAO I have that same exact gorilla cart at the other house

[oak vector]

Ykw I might be getting a new scooter soon
Meaning I can take the old one apart……….

[wise bear]

DO IT DO IT DO IT

[oak vector]

😭 😭 this is so peak

[autumn rain]

I actually am taking a trip to visit some college friends. I’ll need to procure the Spoon™

[wise bear]

you could literally get away with a single motorized wheel at the front-middle on a swivel

[wise bear]

these things are so worth the $25 tbh

oh the big spoon

[oak vector]

they’re the same brand so I’ll even be able to extend my throttle cables from the throttle on the scooter and hook it up to the trailer motor and controller

😭 🙏

[wise bear]

perrrrrf

get a little trailer hitch electrics connector for the luls

[oak vector]

I’ll make my own honestly 😭 😭 🙏 🙏

Aw man im glad we had this convo im actually gonna do this shit now

[wise bear]

Peyton make good idea

[oak vector]

I might even paint my scooter auscam tbh
that would be so fire

[wise bear]

i read "auscam" as autism

[autumn rain]

I’m discovering a problem. Apparently there’s no real in between for ladles to shovels

[wise bear]

for a second I was like "what fucking color is autism?.."

[oak vector]

considering im the one doing it that’s not that far off

[wise bear]

lmao mooooood

[wise bear]

fuck you i almost spat my coffee

this is like something you'd hear from heavenly or skulker

[oak vector]

All depends on what size of scoop you want

[autumn rain]

Comical

[oak vector]

I live my life through humorous actions which make me look like a moron
But
Are actually peak for the few that get it.

the other night my mate got kinda hammered
And Yk I don’t have a car
So I picked him up with the e-scooter and trailer

[wise bear]

I was wondering why there was a pillow in the back

[oak vector]

I had to get the good uber reviews 😭 🙏

[stable turret]

[wise bear]

nnnno

[oak vector]

“Uh yeah mate I’ll chuck you a slab of vb if you cut the cost of me plumbing work”

I just realise no one online rn will probably get that but anyways

[old vault]

So I got this AIO and this is my case. But I can't mount the radiator at the top, there are no mout holes, how bad it will be if I mount it at the bottom of the case? I know it's not optimal but bad?

[pure garnet]

pump needs to be the lowest point of the loop

[stable turret]

does vb stand for vtuber? i totally got you

[pure garnet]

alternatively, mount it on the bottom and use the pc upside down

[oak vector]

No 😭
VB is a brand of beer
And if you target the right demographic here it can partially replace money lmfao

I am still yet to try vb funnily enough

[old vault]

So.. that's a no then

[pure garnet]

it's a yes on bottom mount bad

because the pump will have the air in it

[old vault]

It is just a performance hit or it will hold for a week or two until I get another case?

[mighty marten]

Drill some mount holes stick it with zip ties

[pure garnet]

you run the risk of running the pump dry but realistically for a week or two it'd be okay

imo just run the pc on it's side and let the radiator sit on top of the case

[hoary hatch]

Y'all wanna buy an AMD Risen?

[old vault]

Well the problem is the ram at the top is preventing it from going all the way back in the case, and I can't move the motherboard down because of the I/O

[frank zealot]

I'd have to say that this is actually... a reasonable price for a 10+ year old box:

[old vault]

I also don't overclock, it JUST for noise reduction

[oak vector]

I’d buy it honestly

[mighty marten]

buy an air cooler

or buy a new case

[wise bear]

new case new case

[mighty marten]

AP201 is cheap

[old vault]

I do have one

[frank zealot]

the case is worth most of that

[mighty marten]

scythe based!! and u wanna change to an aio

[old vault]

Yes

[wise bear]

a3 matx is slightly smaller and just as goated

I love my a3 because it doesn't waste space like other builds

[mighty marten]

yea just with thick rads its a bit shorter, ap201 would fit the arctic better i think

a friend had to cut the corner fan off the LF3 pro to fit it in the a3

lf3 pro is just too thick

[wise bear]

lf3 pro fits in the a3 no prob

[mighty marten]

corsair nautilus is pretty thin and performs better but costs more

[wise bear]

im quite literally running an lf3 pro 280mm on the side mount

[shell void]

i would go for a standard thickness 360mm rad if i built in the A3

and a SFF PSU to minimize headaches

[wise bear]

if you want that you gotta go sfx

[pure garnet]

isn't the naut 360 like $90

[wise bear]

yeah I went atx because transitional between old and new build

[mighty marten]

yea lf3 pro is 70 ish

aios are so cheap now love it

[pure garnet]

for the 360?

[shell void]

corsair sf1000 is so cute

[mighty marten]

and most have 6 year warranty

[wise bear]

I remember when a corsair h105 cost like $150

[wise bear]

I still have my 105 actually, still runs to this day

[mighty marten]

increased price for blackfriday sale discount maybe XD

[wise bear]

cmonnnn drop in price more

if that combo hits $400 I will insta-buy it

[pure garnet]

[fringe vigil]

Moo moo

[wise bear]

[young void]

Competition is good

[young void]

Moo moo moo moo, moo

[wise bear]

that's a bonus of capitalism tbh, it drives competition & innovation

[young void]

https://tenor.com/view/deckard-cain-stay-a-while-and-listen-diablo2-gif-25191950

[pure garnet]

i think it's less so competition and more so 90% of the market buys aios

the amount of people buying watercooling for ryzen 5s is really high

[wise bear]

its hilarious

[young void]

My health and mana bar is totally not inspired Diablo 1/2

Blizzard leave me aloneeee, future potential problems lol

[mighty marten]

hello

[old vault]

Well, I guess I give up. I'll see if this can fit in my son's computer case...

[dawn plover]

I still prefer the peace of mind of an air cooler

like I'd always be worried that it would leak or something

even though that's not very rational

[dawn plover]

Couldn't you mount it at the front?

[mighty marten]

never ad an aio leak but yea its a thing

[green marsh]

when it looks like mITX, but it isn't mITX

[oak vector]

Thanks brain
5am
And im not tired yet!!!!!

[wispy iron]

Is intel E97379-001 a bad cooler?

[old vault]

Nope. Too tall

[plucky finch]

?????

[edgy laurel]

surely you're not surprised

[wise bear]

I can't tell if he's calling you fat or if he's just mocking your name

[old vault]

Paid $25 for this setup off of Facebook marketplace, i7 9700, GTX 1660ti, 500 gb SSD. 1 TB HDD.

[edgy laurel]

I mean for $25 you made out well

[fringe vigil]

hi

[edgy laurel]

apart from that bomb-tier PSU

[old vault]

Yea

[edgy laurel]

well, might not be bomb-tier, would need to see the model number a little more clearly

[dawn plover]

ah that's not ideal

how many cm (or mm) would you need to clear the RAM to mount it on top?

would it work with slim fans or would it still be too thick

[edgy laurel]

https://tenor.com/view/taken-set-of-skills-particular-gif-24468765

why is it reversed i hate this

[edgy laurel]

liam neeson is going to find the person responsible, and..

My Gen 1s still work but they do the occasional loud ass static

[steel stream]

you gonna buy some gen 3s or just thug it out with the 1s

Listening to a lawyer talk about "Men of Culture" "Touch Grass" and "Chat not being poggers"

hits kinda weird....

[turbid locust]

probably get some Gen 3s on a Black Friday deal

[steel stream]

get them through costco tbh

[turbid locust]

Context?

[frank zealot]

tl;dr: Twitch is probably gonna get fuuuuuucked by her lawyers

[steel stream]

AppleCare+ is included I am pretty sure

[topaz veldt]

I bet twitch has more, better lawyers unfortunately

[frank zealot]

last black friday till xmas I was seeing Airpod Pro 2's for ~150/160 at a number of locations

[topaz veldt]

Did you guys see the ASRock 1600W PSU for $199

[turbid locust]

No

[frank zealot]

they probably do, but, it looks like there's some seriously stark video showing some pretty significant negligence on their part

so it'll be interesting to see what happens (and what the inevitable settlement is)

[mighty marten]

unemployed people care too much about these situations

[edgy laurel]

No, where?

ASRock TC-1650T Taichi 1650W Titanium?

or ASRock PG 1600G ATX 3.1 1600W

apparently that Taichi has thermistors built into the 12VHPWR cable

[frank zealot]

well, that's an opinion

[edgy laurel]

and this 5v boost?

[frank zealot]

why are there 2 extra pins next to the 12v 2x6?

[steel stream]

damn talk about a PSU

[keen wigeon]

maybe a probe for getting direct wattage output?

[edgy laurel]

presumably for the aformentioned thermistors to plug in

[frank zealot]

dare you to spend an extra 250-300 for cablemod cables for it

[pure garnet]

wtf is 5v boost

[keen wigeon]

it boosts 5v

[steel stream]

https://tenor.com/view/no-donkeys-shrek-gif-17262332016497258179

[pure garnet]

do you flip that and it does 17v instead

[frank zealot]

cuz you know that's what it'd cost

[steel stream]

I like my cables stock

[frank zealot]

I give CM credit, they do make some very pretty cables

[pure garnet]

my psu is too new for cablemod to make cables for

i looked when my 24pin was busted

[frank zealot]

they don't list every psu

but there's a good chance your pinout matches another psu's pinout that they have

[pure garnet]

they have the pure power 12 and 11 so i think they just haven't gotten to it yet

granted i'd have to be crazy to buy custom cables for a psu that was <$150

[edgy laurel]

Aris's review was very favorable. Best of for 115v, top spot for 230v.

[wise bear]

its for a temp sensor

[edgy laurel]

https://hwbusters.com/psus/asrock-taichi-tc-1650t-atx-v3-1-psu-review/

but 5nails probably talking about this one https://a.co/d/7ZEPR6H

the Taichi is literally twice the price

[golden willow]

sounds like legal eagle alright

[topaz veldt]

I think the PG does too

[pure garnet]

oh yeah the asetek patent expired

that's probably part of why aios got so cheap lately too

[wise bear]

Ohhh I forgot about that

Everyone's kinda got their own block/pump design already though

Also fuck coolermaster and anyone else that puts the fucking pump on the tubing

that was the dumbest looking aio trend

[pure garnet]

im pretty sure that was to dodge the patent

asetek held the pump in block one

I ripped my turbo bobsled to the grocery store, that was a trip

Just starting my fast car takes a certain level of dedication

I had the rivian on three wheels, driver's wheel 4 feet in the air while I climbed butthole hill

I texted my wife "taking loud car to store"

and got some battle damage on the new sliders

[topaz veldt]

she replied "I know"

[wise bear]

is it called that because of the pucker factor you experience?

it is because it is a butthole to climb up there, even with a lifted jeep, 38's and lockers

there are 15 to 20" deep pits that really, really flex opposite sides as you crawl up. So driver's side goes down and passenger's up etc etc

do you need that system right now

[wise bear]

I'm all for retail therapy

[topaz veldt]

no lol

[wise bear]

ACQUIRE MORE

[topaz veldt]

the prob is the responsible (lol) thing to do would be to get another TUF since I have the EK block

[autumn rain]

My poor wallet

[topaz veldt]

but I could get another master at $2650 and buy another block

[steel stream]

i'd be so much happier today if my G5 actually arrived and I did not get lied to

[pure garnet]

is resale on the rma tuf worth doing another card rn

[topaz veldt]

i dunno

I didn't get that far

[pure garnet]

i'd say another tuf personally because you have 2 masters already right

[topaz veldt]

I am an ASUS guy though I can't have 5 masters

[wise bear]

soon my pretty

[pure garnet]

dunno how the high end stuff holds value

[topaz veldt]

I have 4 lol

[autumn rain]

Man RMA-ing stuff sucks though. I’m going through it right now with my 5080.

[topaz veldt]

I replaced that 4090 Aero with a 5090 master ice

[pure garnet]

ah

the tuf is the checkbox hire

[topaz veldt]

Maybe I should just get an Astral

[wise bear]

lol the meeseeks doll

[steel stream]

are the toys yours or your kids

[steel stream]

[topaz veldt]

If I got an astral I'd need an Astral block

[autumn rain]

Astrals are swag though

[topaz veldt]

the Master is kind of the goat this era

Titanrig has Astral blocks

[pure garnet]

astral is 3.3 on amazon

[topaz veldt]

yeah

[pure garnet]

and that's not even the white one

[topaz veldt]

I'd be like $3700

Doesn't need to be white i have to rip the cooler off

[pure garnet]

i don't think resale would stay high enough on it

[topaz veldt]

i agree

two blocked Masters?

or wait for TUF OC to return

[pure garnet]

how much is a master block

tuf you can probably sell easy since it's an msrp model so unless the block is crazy priced doesn't seem like a bad idea

[topaz veldt]

its not an msrp model

The TUF OCs are like $2800+

Its a weird situ on those

[pure garnet]

oh

...do yall think that ddr6 will be mandatory 2-slot?

[topaz veldt]

I hope so

[shell void]

unfortunately no that's unlikely

[wise bear]

or do yall think we'll be on CAMM by then

[topaz veldt]

no CAMM

[wise bear]

why no camm

too enterprise?

[wraith steeple]

Even DDR5 should just be two slots for mainstream platforms

[shell void]

camm is mainly for laptops

it isnt really any better than dimms

[wise bear]

Oh it's just a laptop market?

[shell void]

starting with DDR5 6400 jedec and onward it's standard for all DIMMs to have clock redrivers (cudimm)

[green marsh]

look what i found on Ali

[autumn rain]

Honestly, Call me old fashioned, but I kinda like DIMM RAM

[shell void]

that in combination with other board vendors copying ASUS's nitropath in the future leads me to believe that 2 dimms per channel will remain the default

[autumn rain]

Although CAMM is a game changer for SFF, which is really what I care about

[wise bear]

and I'm guessing that a redriver is just like a signal repeater

[shell void]

yah it helps run higher speeds on crappy boards

[wise bear]

look at me assuming correctly \o/

[pure garnet]

nitropath and cudimm may work but

2 dimm oc board has aura so you must buy that

[wise bear]

2 dimm boards do have an aura

more 2-dimm matx pls

[pure garnet]

like when i look at my pc and see the overclocking buttons i don't use

aura 🔥

[wise bear]

idk I just look at my black box and go "teehee fans go spinny fast"

[autumn rain]

Like not using the handrail on a train

[pure garnet]

i totaled it up the other day and i've spent $2300 on a computer to play a 2013 mmo

[wise bear]

I don't wanna think about how much I've spent on my pcs lmao

[shell void]

i think it's a little crazy that manufacturers are spending years improving memory topology, shielding the dram traces, using nitropath dimm slots, and standardizing cudimm instead of just defaulting to 1 slot per channel

[autumn rain]

Average FF14 mindset

[pure garnet]

that's just for this tower

[shell void]

surely there arent that many people running four dimms in diy market boards

[wise bear]

oh just the tower? I think mine's in a similar range to yours

[wraith steeple]

Rookie numbers

[autumn rain]

That’s about where I’m at

[wise bear]

I have.. idk, 13, 15 grand worth of shit surrounding me atm

[topaz veldt]

Are there any blocks for rtx pro 6000

[wise bear]

I have too many hobbies ugh

[pure garnet]

the only pc i've ever owned that i used all 4 sticks for was my 2700k pc

i had a 4x4 kit for 16gb of ram

[shell void]

looks like Bykski has one

[wise bear]

early intel core.. man, what a time

[pure garnet]

oh i built that in like 2020 idk what possessed me to do that

now my 2nd desktop has a 12900ks/4070

[wise bear]

[autumn rain]

Only hobbies I can maintain right now are gaming, Gunpla, and paddleboarding

[shell void]

shunt modding and waterblocking a rtx pro 6000 to play wizard101

[green marsh]

to be fair, on an X299 board there is no space for 4 DIMM slots 😄

[autumn rain]

The machine spirit is pleased

[pure garnet]

yeah it was a 2700k + r9 280x

[autumn rain]

Oh for sure

[shell void]

gorgeous weather today 55F and sunny

doesnt get much better

[green marsh]

do we think this is scam with that name ? 😄

[pure garnet]

my 6700k that i replaced it with doing 4x8 3200 without me even turning on xmp is what pushed me into going intel for ddr5

[wise bear]

I've got my 4790k + r9 390 box sitting next to me rn

[pure garnet]

the oldest computer i own is my kaby lake thinkcenter

it runs debian with no gui and will be replaced when i have more income with nova lake

[green marsh]

the P67 board i had got murdered this week, so the oldest working tech i own are pair of Z77 ITX boards with i5-3470 and i5-3570K

[wise bear]

dyamb

[green marsh]

one is a HTPC with Arc A380, other is a backup server

[shell void]

[pure garnet]

nvidia fixing core 2 duo the same week amd says they can't fix rdna 2 anymore

[wise bear]

[pure garnet]

[autumn rain]

The oldest piece of tech I own that I still use is my car lol

[wise bear]

the oldest piece of tech I own is my house at 65 years old

[topaz veldt]
