[pure garnet]

funny way to spell audi

[warped mountain]

yeah i know

[pure garnet]

i mean they're all suvs but

[steel stream]

but urus is cool

[merry stirrup]

gapped by internet

cancelled my upload and everything

[ancient turtle]

[pure garnet]

i do not care

[ancient turtle]

VW touareq, porche cayenne, bentley bentayga, all the same car

[merry stirrup]

[pure garnet]

floppa im gonna play crash test dummy and flash that new bios

[ancient turtle]

yes

[merry stirrup]

please do like

some science and see what people mean about vf being broken

cause idk i think my core offsets are working but idk

apparently there’s some issue

[warped mountain]

This is quiet mode dGPU off ... 💀

[pure garnet]

this is what cool ice replied to with the new bios for

[warped mountain]

so best 14 inch screen is MBP exclusive for HDR and stuff? does this look good?

[merry stirrup]

okay do you see that edit

originally he said tl02 so i wasn’t sure 😭💀

[whole coral]

lol.

Kind crazy that Altice almost went bankrupt years ago

[pure garnet]

yeah he was on tl03 but wrote tl02

[steel stream]

tl072 mentioned?

[whole coral]

Also I thought Altice was already renamed to Optimum

[merry stirrup]

yeah

[merry stirrup]

i wish asrock would put out 72 bioses but idk what that means

[steel stream]

it's a dual op-amp IC

i just misread your message

[pure garnet]

oh lemme write down my fan curves

before i lose em and my pc sounds crazy

[merry stirrup]

hm okie

[warped mountain]

I love the pop out feature of Firefox 🤘

[pure garnet]

worlds fastest flash drive

[merry stirrup]

9000 c36 50-16-50-56

[merry stirrup]

quote happy with this

[steel stream]

is it stable?

[merry stirrup]

i’ve never seen speeds this fsst

[merry stirrup]

yes sir

[steel stream]

damn

[merry stirrup]

my 9000 is better than my own xmp rating

i can’t get tRCD any lower but i think tRP and tRAS i’ll be able to minimize more

scaling past ~1.75v goes to shit cause signal integrity

so 9000 c34 isn’t possible

but i think 9000 c34 is like lower than the register limit at 6000 in terms of first word

[pure garnet]

get better stick easy fr

[merry stirrup]

fr fr

[pure garnet]

oh god my asrock bios defaulted to 1024x768 for a sec

[merry stirrup]

iirc register limit is 24 so this maths out

maybe register limit is 22

either way i have a very fast ram configuration

[rich idol]

Something like this then?

[wise bear]

nerd

yes

[proven cairn]

Hey chat

[merry stirrup]

you’re just mad you don’t have cl24 6000 ram

[warped mountain]

ohh i remember why i chose m4 PRO ... it matches teh 114900HX. sounded cool to have teh powerri currently have and get 18 hours watching HDR content.

[proven cairn]

Hey floppa

Hey koolcordell

Lol

[wise bear]

oh look it's weird dude

[proven cairn]

Ok peyton

[wise bear]

ok weirdo

[steel stream]

my guess would be 24 as well

[pure garnet]

is there a reason you can’t type the word “the”

[merry stirrup]

is it educated

[proven cairn]

Ok other weirdo

[proven cairn]

the

[wise bear]

my noggin blanked it I guess lol

[pure garnet]

not either of you

every time i see “teh” it’s always a roblox kid in my head

[wise bear]

oh, "teh", that's some furry shit

[merry stirrup]

oml it is 22 and not 24

[steel stream]

NOOOOOO

[proven cairn]

You

[merry stirrup]

i’d think number divisible by 8 would make more sense

[steel stream]

I was typing out an explanation but it doesn't matter anymore so

[pure garnet]

blast some more voltage at it floppa

1.9v vdd daily setup

[merry stirrup]

i went to 1.85

just past 1.75 is signaling hell

[steel stream]

yeah it's base 2 so easier for bits

[pure garnet]

just lock in

[merry stirrup]

so 1.77 c34 turned on right

[proven cairn]

Our sponsor, SignalRGB

[merry stirrup]

which normally once it turns on it doesn’t need much more

[pure garnet]

okay new bios flashed, pc exploded

[proven cairn]

What’s signaling

[wise bear]

calling me a furry is not an insult lmao

[merry stirrup]

i went to 1.8, no change in when crashed

went to 1.82 no change

[proven cairn]

Never said it was brotato

[merry stirrup]

all the way to 1.85 no change

i gave up from then on. adie does not scale that poorly

[vagrant cargo]

given the Corsair Xeneon Edge has magnets on it apparently would it be a good idea to pair it with the fractal Define 7 XL

[pure garnet]

okay yeah on the 4k monitor i’m just graced with the ugly post screen now

[merry stirrup]

lmao

[vagrant cargo]

i like the look for the fractal

has some old school charm to it

[proven cairn]

Fractal is poggers, the price is not

[pure garnet]

uh floppa you’re not at your pc right

[merry stirrup]

i’m thinkin high voltage no extreme cooling test dummy

no sir why?

[pure garnet]

is memss max oc ratio new?

[proven cairn]

Why is the 7 £105 😭😭

[merry stirrup]

nope

idk what it is though

[pure garnet]

well they moved it i think

[warped mountain]

i think i found my next laptop. intel or AMD?

[merry stirrup]

it’s 96 by default

memory subsystem

but i thought that was kinda the fabric

[proven cairn]

How many moneys u got?

[merry stirrup]

so idk what clock that is

and it’s already at 9600

[gentle gale]

r7 250 beats the 258/268v in perf but much worse battery life

[brave panther]

I tested both, amd is better

[merry stirrup]

what in the world would i change it to

[warped mountain]

they have teh 800 nit screen on the 14 inch. best i have seen in a 14 that isnt MAC

[proven cairn]

Ok

[gentle gale]

if you want good perf on intel without hotshit battery youll want 155/185H or 255/285H

[merry stirrup]

if you want to fuck with mem SS

[pure garnet]

have you tried run mrc timing yet

[warped mountain]

they dont offer that

[proven cairn]

Does the 250 have 780m or 760m?

[warped mountain]

all V chips

[gentle gale]

780m

[merry stirrup]

yes. although i’m not sure what it does when i’m manually setting most things?

[gentle gale]

the v chips compete with m3/m4

more m3 than m4

[proven cairn]

Poggers, the ai 7 350 gets shafted with a 860m

[merry stirrup]

i need like months to play with these settings and see performance difference

[lavish gull]

Is a 5800x fine with the stock cooler

[merry stirrup]

i need a big google sheet

[gentle gale]

ya but much better battery life since 4p 4e

[proven cairn]

Ok

[edgy laurel]

it doesn't have a stock cooler

[gentle gale]

or sorry 4 z5 and 4 z5c

[proven cairn]

4 cores in the big 25 🙁

[merry stirrup]

this i kinda never understood but intel chips don’t come with one either

[proven cairn]

And it wouldn’t be anyway

[lavish gull]

Oh

[merry stirrup]

you’re telling me i paid more for the fancy cpu and it’s costing you less

[warped mountain]

yeah i dont want a mac, not useful to my use case too limited in features. So these are 14 inch, convertible, and have 800 nit screens. just choosing what CPU is best for my needs including casual low res gaming.

[proven cairn]

Do the Ryzen x cpus all not come with a stock cooler?

[merry stirrup]

no way an X sku production price difference is more than the cost of a cooler

[gentle gale]

what is your need other than low res gaming

[warped mountain]

#tech-chat-2 message

[merry stirrup]

did bro just give us his card info

[proven cairn]

Yea that’s where we r

[merry stirrup]

what was that

[gentle gale]

what? i meant what are you doing other than low res gaming

[proven cairn]

Is it oled?

[gentle gale]

140V on 258/268V can handle gaming just fine

on par with 890m in some cases

[warped mountain]

HDR video content on the go. need at least 600 nits sustained for indoor use, prefer tablet design for notetaking, need portable (hence 14) and 10+ hours real world batter tests when doing things in web browsers, obviously cant get 10 hrs at 800 nits in HDR

i saw users were saying MBP can only do like 3hrs at full brightness watching media.

[proven cairn]

600 indoor???

Crazy

[merry stirrup]

is your whole bios that way?

or is it normal res

[pure garnet]

only the boot splash

[vagrant cargo]

tbh i do love how the front of the case looks i kind of like the old school vibes it gives me

[pure garnet]

bios goes to 1080p

[merry stirrup]

hm okay

[merry stirrup]

this is my other fix they like need to do 😭💀

[proven cairn]

Ok

[merry stirrup]

it’s not that annoying but when i’m doing a whole bunch of posting and stuff it’s annoying

[edgy laurel]

Because it is old school. Define series has been around for 15 years

[warped mountain]

idk this is their enterprise grade.

[pure garnet]

starting the works now

[merry stirrup]

i’m wasting minutes testing only a handful of configs

[proven cairn]

Guiltyspark, why is the define 7 so expensive

[pure garnet]

will the random bios fix the issue that's been there for a year

[merry stirrup]

i’m waiting for the instant fail

[proven cairn]

It looks buns

[warped mountain]

how much do i need?

[pure garnet]

nothing yet twin

[proven cairn]

Some led bulbs and lampshades

[merry stirrup]

no way homes

[pure garnet]

but it hasn't finished a test yet

[vagrant cargo]

im curious guys about one thing in particular when i get my Define 7 XL im going from aircooling to aio cooling i know some aios are designed for temps and been near silent but airflow wise would it be a good idea to get my pc silent to have fans at bottom of the case and at top aswell as front and the rear

[gentle gale]

transferring into arizona state wow

[merry stirrup]

i’ll let it marinate

[vagrant cargo]

what airflow config is recommended for Define 7 XL

[merry stirrup]

maybe i’ll go to this bios just for that

[warped mountain]

cant, its not my personal area.

[merry stirrup]

the one your parts fit in

[proven cairn]

Ok

[edgy laurel]

Old Define R2 build

[pure garnet]

it's 100% crunching numbers though

[vagrant cargo]

i cant even view my bios because of my projector

[pure garnet]

my pc is loaded it's lagging

[merry stirrup]

a step up certainly

our computer is surprisingly usable under cruncher

[proven cairn]

Ok

[warped mountain]

lol yeah, u wanna come visit me?

[merry stirrup]

but that’s cause cruncher auto defaults to below normal priority

[gentle gale]

sure

[warped mountain]

sweet ill let u know

[vagrant cargo]

major thing im trying to find for my new build is a external disc reader / player for playing disc based pc games

[pure garnet]

dude it's finishing tests

[vagrant cargo]

for 4k films im gonna use a 4k fully region free player im looking into getting for my 65 inch tv

my other bios is still so old that it doesn’t have 200s boost

[merry stirrup]

[vagrant cargo]

is there any that can do blurays and also cd-rom and dvd-r stuff? i sometimes might wanna watch blurays at my pc but still be able to play physical pc games

[pure garnet]

okay slept a 2nd time and it errored

[merry stirrup]

i cannot believe a random coolice bios just gave us the sauce

[vagrant cargo]

i think i have the blade runner game on disc somewhere need to find that

[edgy laurel]

Yes, any USB BD drive will read CD's and DVD's

[pure garnet]

but only 1 worker so far

[merry stirrup]

idk if this is progress or not

[pure garnet]

if the rest finish tests maybe it's just a wakeup delay

nvm london bridge is crashing

[merry stirrup]

lmao

i never got rerunning to work so idk

[vagrant cargo]

main thing for my build other than stuff for my pc is my new desk i did find ODK corner one i liked but im not sure if i would be able to keep my pc on the top of the desk

[merry stirrup]

i don’t have a drowsy chip mines just fucking knocked out after sleep

[vagrant cargo]

my monitor is a heavy one

i just rock 30 d2d because it doesn’t really do much

[merry stirrup]

40 -> 30 D2D=same yc test speed

[proven cairn]

Chat, why PC not use disc like console?

[pure garnet]

i’m on 4k now so it’s not like my cpu matters

[merry stirrup]

maybe it helps with latency but usually that’d reflect at least a little in cruncher

[edgy laurel]

you should type things into chatgpt before here sometimes

i’ll have to test with wprime or something

[dusty lotus]

thoughts on dual mode monitors

[proven cairn]

Idk

They are dual

[dusty lotus]

since i own one i literally never use the fhd 480 mode

[merry stirrup]

i wouldn’t use it but nice to have i think?

[dusty lotus]

its nice to have but its just a "flex" to have 480hz

[pure garnet]

i used the 1080p dual mode in val

[merry stirrup]

idk it depends. i have a 360hz rn so a dual mode would have to be faster than that to be worth it

[proven cairn]

I use grok anyway, it’s less letters to type into the search bar

[pure garnet]

my monitor is 4k 160 or 1080p 320

[merry stirrup]

yah

[pure garnet]

so i turn it on for fps games since it's worth

[merry stirrup]

i just have the weird freak middle ground

[dusty lotus]

it isnt worth in my case because i somehow get worse fps in the fhd mode than in 4k

[merry stirrup]

i think i want to go to faster though

[dusty lotus]

💔

[pure garnet]

windows treats each mode like a diff monitor

so it's not bad at all swapping between them

[shell void]

1440p540 time?

[dusty lotus]

dual mode is an issue if you have 2 monitors

[merry stirrup]

i was thinking so

[pure garnet]

not really

[merry stirrup]

4K would be nice but idk if i’m that type of individual

[dusty lotus]

i had windows freak out when i used it

[pure garnet]

you take 30 seconds to configure it again once and windows just remembers the next time you swap

[shell void]

why wouldnt u be

[merry stirrup]

i much enjoy 360fps over 240 i will not lie

[proven cairn]

this is good lowkey

[pure garnet]

once you get 4k monitor it makes 1440p look like poop

[teal orbit]

did it burn in

[pure garnet]

so i will continue to play at 4k

[proven cairn]

They say that but it doesn’t

[merry stirrup]

that’s why i spam refresh rate

[dusty lotus]

been on 4k since last time i used 4k

[proven cairn]

Just like with oled

[dusty lotus]

absolutely no burn in

[merry stirrup]

although apex is capped at 300 so i should probably stop spamming refresh rate

it does to me at least

4k gaming is just the best

Even 4k 27" compared to my laptop starts to make me want 5k

[merry stirrup]

i see the vision here

[shell void]

it will finally arrive next year brother booba

[merry stirrup]

300fps base to 540 would probably be more than just fine

[dusty lotus]

4k27 has insane ppi for a mainstream monitor size

[pure garnet]

no bro way more ppi just can't look better

[teal orbit]

I gotta drive a 5k240 27"

[brave panther]

they are called m.2

That’s espanol for it is very important

Chat can you combine oculinks to make an 8x?

[brave panther]

does m.2 provide smbus connection?

yap

i would do a little trolling and tape those pins

[burnt pewter]

Hello.
Looking to upgrade my PC. Current build is an RTX 3070, Ryzen 5 3600 and Aorus Pro B550.
Thinking of starting with the CPU, Mobo and RAM.
If I get the Ryzen 7 9800X3D, what would be a good motherboard to go with it? Saw some suggestions about B850 ( like the TUF GAMING B850‑E WIFI) but chat GPT says it's low quality for such a high-end processor. Is that true? If that's not good enough, what would be?

[steel stream]

nope that motherboard is perfectly fine for a 9800X3D

[warped mountain]

This would be low quality for me 😹

[edgy laurel]

ignore chatgpt

[steel stream]

https://tenor.com/view/chip-nxk-neuroxik-psh-kicking-gif-21016863

[edgy laurel]

it has no idea what "low quality" means in this context

[steel stream]

i've got 1080p rips bigger than that

[warped mountain]

i know, i just want the screen lol

[warped mountain]

you have to go HX to match M4 Pro

[burnt pewter]

Alright. Just wanted to check. I don't know what 8+2+1 means or VRMs or mosfets. I know what they mean but not the implications. This is the answer it gave me.

[steel stream]

to the average user they mean nothing

[pure garnet]

the 9800x3d doesn't pull enough power to need a giant vrm

[edgy laurel]

luckily, unless you're buying the cheapest boards available, the VRM means effectively nothing for a 9800x3D

[warped mountain]

EXACTLY

[pure garnet]

also chatgpt is about as useful as a dartboard so

[steel stream]

i like darts

[topaz veldt]

if you are watching on a laptop none of it matters

[burnt pewter]

Alrighty then. This is actually good news because the other boards it suggested get close to DOUBLE the price.

[warped mountain]

WYM?

[steel stream]

omw to watch my Dolby Vision + Atmos rips on a phone

[pure garnet]

my board has a 22 phase vrm and my cpu uses like, 9 of them

[topaz veldt]

You will never appreciate high bit rate 4K DV/HDR on a laptop

[edgy laurel]

mine probably uses less

[steel stream]

6-7 maybe one could say

[warped mountain]

better than my 720p tv at home.

[pure garnet]

change your name to akn867

[steel stream]

YOOOOO

[edgy laurel]

[warped mountain]

i watch on my phoen right now, but need more screen size

[steel stream]

momo if you are here rn please change my name to akn867 please

[edgy laurel]

7800x3D really making this thing work

[pure garnet]

24 phase vrm for the 35w cpu

[edgy laurel]

optimal

[steel stream]

bare minimum

[burnt pewter]

Okay, I guess my last question for now is Corsair or Kingston RAM sticks?

[willow fulcrum]

Has anyone that sits all day for work then sits all night to game found a good stretch for tight hips?

[dawn plover]

ok basically VRMs and mosfets and stuff is your power delivery, specifically to the CPU. On a B series motherboard, they're usually not worth worrying about as long as you don't intend to put a top-tier, power hungry processor

[topaz veldt]

Herman Miller Embody

[steel stream]

good mornings and hip rotations

[devout ridge]

move in your seat during the day

good posture isn’t important, changing your posture frequently is

[burnt pewter]

and the 9800X3D is not power-hungry I assume?

[willow fulcrum]

Honestly willing to spend big money on chair with how much I sit and to avoid pain

[edgy laurel]

Are you limited to just those two brands? It doesn't matter much which brand, either way. If you're here asking about RAM, 6000 CL30 in the color you want and with/without RGB is the real concern.

[pure garnet]

in this market? just buy the cheapest 2x16gb 6000 kit

[burnt pewter]

I could look for other brands, but the ones that are readily available from the nearest most reputable store are Kingston, Corsair and Adata.

[pure garnet]

don't worry about the cas latency

[dawn plover]

Yes and no. TDP is 120 watts

[edgy laurel]

Relatively, no, not at all. 8-core part. There are 12 and 16 core parts that you could also be using but even then, most mid to high end boards regardless of X or B series are plenty.

[edgy laurel]

As a normal user, your board choice will come down to price and features (I/O). M.2 slot count, USB port count, etc..

Size (ATX, mATX)

[burnt pewter]

"normal" meaning that I won't be pushing OC, right? (I won't be)

[edgy laurel]

Normal as in you're asking about parts instead of already knowing, and you plan to spend more time in the BIOS and benchmarks than using the PC.

[pure garnet]

you couldn't overload that board with that cpu if you tried

[edgy laurel]

er, yeah nevermind you get what I mean

[pure garnet]

it would just die before the board melts

[dawn plover]

like as long as you're not using a super cheap A-series motherboard, power delivery is going to be good enough

[edgy laurel]

If you're building to use and not building to tweak endlessly

[pure garnet]

if you were floppa you'd know

[burnt pewter]

Sounds great to me.

[burnt pewter]

Yep. That's the plan.

[edgy laurel]

linus doing all sorts of things wrong with this pool cooled loop certainly is paying dividends in content opportunities

[steel stream]

lemme just hock a loogie in your waterblock

thanks in advance for yalls help!

[steel stream]

that's legit what it looks like

[edgy laurel]

this one was even worse!

[steel stream]

top left ones are good, then the 14" 2.8K oled in the bottom left is also ok

[topaz veldt]

I have the Logitech one its super nice

[warped mountain]

im thinking these 2?

[brisk jolt]

its essentially 80w gaming tbh

[steel stream]

yeah they're both good, Macbook pro screen would still be better but

[dawn plover]

Personally I'd go OLED if that's an option. My current laptop is a 1080p OLED and I think the difference is worth it

[warped mountain]

will this work on TB4? I'm guessing 5070ti edition would make more sense than the 5090 edition.

[topaz veldt]

the pool cooled video is so gross

[brisk jolt]

god the guy in front of me smells heavily like cigarettes

I don't know what a wizard tower is other than it's plot in LotR

Why do wizards need towers

[vestal granite]

no like wizards live in towers is all

[steel stream]

like Sarumans tower

[vestal granite]

BECAUSE magic works better in tall buildings

[steel stream]

compensating for something

[hoary hatch]

Why not a nice log cabin?

[vestal granite]

because wizards live in towers not cabins

youre thinking of warlocks

[vestal granite]

because the roof is like a wizard hat

[pure garnet]

windows would update them when you update the pc

unless you mean for something else

[fringe vigil]

why is it saying secure boot off when its enabled in bios, dont make sense

[pure garnet]

what board

may need to hit secure boot mode custom -> enroll factory keys

[edgy laurel]

the SB menu can be fucky

its not always just toggling one thing On and you're done

I believe he has an Asus B series, I can't recall which one

[fringe vigil]

no arous elite

i think i might fixed it though

i set secure boot mode to custom and reset factory stettings

[edgy laurel]

yeah, that might have done it

[edgy laurel]
