[low sorrel]

have you ever played vtol vr?

[lethal topaz]

ive played a tiny bit when i gameshared with a friend but i do not own the game

[gentle urchin]

You're not a real computer geek, unless you have a 5090. What is stopping you? Just take a bank loan.

[lethal topaz]

this was a couple years back

[low sorrel]

wait thats when i was into that game

[gentle urchin]

Game share is that like that one Playstation thingy?

[lethal topaz]

nah steam family library

[low sorrel]

steam family sharing probably

[gentle urchin]

I see

[low sorrel]

you ever see a guy named im a ok pilot a while back?

[gentle urchin]

i used to click share game on PS4 when living in the woods, & my friend could then install Diablo 3 on his PS4 & join my in-game session

[lethal topaz]

the name sounds familiar but i was never any good at the game

[low sorrel]

yeah i know

i am 90% sure i played with you back then

[lethal topaz]

thats crazy

i have maybe a few hours total played

[low sorrel]

you should play vtol again

great game

[lethal topaz]

maybe someday

im not all that into flying games ive learned

my dad is though so maybe youll find him on my account someday

[low sorrel]

maybe i met your dad

[lethal topaz]

i have a total of 3.8 hours on there lmao

[green marsh]

i have an optical drive in my backup server, because why not if it has a 5.25" drive bay and i have a spare old drive i have no use for anyway.

how to change argb from software if i have an argb hub too

is that possible?

[edgy laurel]

sure, just use SignalRGB

[wraith steeple]

How is TC2 this Morning, Afternoon, Evening, or whatever time of day it is as of typing this?

[green marsh]

[proven cairn]

Hi bassbone

[wraith steeple]

[echo hedge]

yo, building a new pc, about to do my installation media, whats the software used to do a custom installation to remove majority of the bloat?

[edgy laurel]

bit of a loaded question

you can generate an answer file and go that route, just use Rufus to disable the TPM/Secureboot requirement (why youd need to do that I don't know) or just run Chris Titus's script after install. Or don't do any of it and use computer like normal

I feel like if you really needed to do any of this you'd already know, or know how to google to find the answer

windows 11 LTSC is also an option

[fringe vigil]

That was quick

Chris titus script wth is that

I’ll use it if I install windows again

[edgy laurel]

https://github.com/ChrisTitusTech/winutil

[fringe vigil]

Is there a tutorial

[edgy laurel]

you paste the command into an elevated powershell terminal and hit enter. if you want you can watch his videos.

tools like that are prone to breaking people's systems if you don't know what you're doing

[fringe vigil]

Why would it break your system if you just copy and paste the command

Sigh there’s more to it

[edgy laurel]

not by running it, by what options you choose and if you're smart about it or not

[fringe vigil]

yh there’s no point I’ll end up choosing something bad

[edgy laurel]

https://youtu.be/IuaNw8Tpn7Q

[fringe vigil]

Have you run it before

[edgy laurel]

i use it all the time

[fringe vigil]

How do u know what you’re doing or selecting

[edgy laurel]

over exaggeration but yes i've made tweaks plenty of times.

I use my eyeballs, read the descriptions, watched the tutorials, listen to the built in warnings and know how to google things.

[topaz veldt]

its funny how all tools like that suffer the same fate..... menu overload

[edgy laurel]

you can run it right now and poke around without changing anything, the "safe" stuff is clearly seperated out from the things it tells you not to touch

[fringe vigil]

What does the debloat do

[edgy laurel]

people want all the options, to the detriment of everyone else

jorj why are you so interested in "debloating" if you don't even know what it means

[fringe vigil]

Cus make pc faster and healthier

[topaz veldt]

Right its just funny how so many people in history have tried to make a ui for these things and they forget to hire a (good or decent) UI developer

[livid flame]

Jorj jorj jorj… why you be so smarts

[fringe vigil]

I don’t know how to play grow a garden obby

[topaz veldt]

@fringe vigil did you figure out what was wrong with your gpu

[fringe vigil]

no idea, I think it’s cooked, there’s no way to tell if I put into another pc

[topaz veldt]

Do you have another PC to put it into

[fringe vigil]

I don’t

[topaz veldt]

Damn

Any friends local that could help out

Got lucky on the weather this trip

[steel stream]

nice and sunny?

[daring mauve]

hi all. quick question. is there a program that can test the fans on a GPU if they are failing on the GPU.

[edgy laurel]

both the Nvidia app and AMD app (adrenaline) can manually set the fans

[livid flame]

Ramp the fans up as fast as they go

It’s normal at that level to sound like a jet engine btw

[daring mauve]

oh i see. I have the Nvidia App open, where do i go

[edgy laurel]

system > performance

fan speed target > manual

yes, you're going to get a popup about overclocking, no it doesn't mean anything

[daring mauve]

ahh ok thank you will try it out

how long would you say it is ok to run to get an idea if the fan has issue

[edgy laurel]

dunno, depends on what issue you believe it has

[daring mauve]

on idle i noticed a slight noise of the fan almost a tick? was thinking maybe dust not sure. Also, the fan while playing a game will make the sound like its spining, slowing down, spinning, slowing down over and over. Instead of a consitant spin speed

[edgy laurel]

i'd be simply watching the RPM

while in automatic mode

[glass iris]

sup nerds

[edgy laurel]

no sense in guessing if its ramping up and down when you can simply check

[daring mauve]

ok

[fringe vigil]

No prob have to take it to a pc repair shop and ask them idk

[daring mauve]

i set 85% 2760RPM atm its smooth so far

my GPU is rather old atm i will say

thanks for the help, will keep an eye on this now that i know where to look

oh i just noticed, automatic doesn't display the fan speed as it is being in use

[wheat void]

El bearing

If you can't bear it

Deshroud it

[daring mauve]

ya could be bearings

nvm the RPM is showing i was wrong

[granite dirge]

I'm getting so upset right now I can't figure out what's going wrong with my PC lately every day I need to power cycle it as it gets no signal to my TV/monitor and that usually fixes it now today it's just a like underscore in the top left corner is being displayed

And now after the 4th reboot.. it works...

I don't know any more.

[daring mauve]

did you try another wire?

[edgy laurel]

sounds like a BIOS issue. Asrock motherboard?

that underscore top left is what you first see on the screen on my Asrock 600 series board

and you'll see it for longer during memory training

if you don't have a post code readout you'd need to look for diagnostic LED's

[topaz veldt]

Yeah I kinda wrote off taking boat out this AM because of weather and seeing family, but now it's perfect out

[topaz veldt]

There many PC shops in Azerbaijan?

[brisk jolt]

My friends with miniscule steam libraries created some family sharing thing- They got shocked after inviting me with like 80 games which is still small, but problem is that 10 of em are free

[topaz veldt]

I dunno how many mine has

[brisk jolt]

Apart from the giants here, how many do your “friends” have

Some poor guy I know had 3- Literally just 3D mark, overwatch and aimlabs

I lowk find it hard to believe he justified the loss going from the 5070Ti to 7900XTX

[pure garnet]

281 titles in my family

[brisk jolt]

Like I mean individually

[fringe vigil]

Idk ask someone who lives there

[livid flame]

According to the UK government Azerbaijan is a country deemed high risk. If they leave their passport at home, come to the UK we will give them citizenship, a home and a PC. Don’t need no PC shops when you got the UK

Apparently the Germany, Canada, France, Spain and US governments believes this too.

Even though Baku is a major tourist destination and the country is deemed safe by all of those.

[wise bear]

Uh huh

is this from the same series of lies of your landlord stealing your laptop

[warped mountain]

Lol... You're saying that like I didn't post the receipts

[wise bear]

you posted your "memory"

[warped mountain]

No no I put all the texts and everything

The threats of violence, the black mail

The illegal eviction attempt

[wise bear]

ai can make all sorts of things look legit

[warped mountain]

The text from her son to my best friend

[warped mountain]

Not with those kind of spelling errors she never even completed High School

[ripe needle]

Based on the spelling mistakes im gonna take a gander and say youre lying

[warped mountain]

Lol I'm driving

[wise bear]

so you're driving and on your phone

[ripe needle]

So you just admitted to committing a crime?

[wise bear]

man you're just all sorts of stupid aren't you

[warped mountain]

Well I was stopped at a light

[brisk jolt]

did you assign what things u want to show on the OSD

[wise bear]

and how do you know what was verbally said

[ripe needle]

This guy is full of lies

[wise bear]

ikr

[warped mountain]

Because I was sitting at the light in the turn lane

[wise bear]

that tells us nothing

[fringe vigil]

Yes I did and I toggled hot key for one screen display and still doesn’t work

[wise bear]

this cordell character is like, just spitting out anything that sounds realistic from their imagination

[hoary hatch]

I'm ashamed to be a blue name because of them

[brisk jolt]

its little wonder why he was fussing so much over a laptop screen for school, and in engineering

[wise bear]

blues should have the power to vote other blues out of the role

[hoary hatch]

Nothing wrong with wanting a nice screen, but his requirements are too damn extreme

[ripe needle]

It’s easier to have faster reactions if you just dont think and let your body act on its own

[hoary hatch]

MacBook pro screen or a quality PC OLED

[fringe vigil]

I restarted

[hoary hatch]

You sound like my work performance review

[brisk jolt]

he has like 20 requirements in a screen and laptop in general, its like finding a needle in a haystack

[ripe needle]

I hate my job

[warped mountain]

Yeah but he couldn't get anything because she doesn't have any money

[ripe needle]

I enjoy a lot of things, but food service is not one of them

[warped mountain]

Otherwise she would have car insurance

But she doesn't look like she chased him down so I guess it's "handled"

Trying to locate one of these Baja last pies

[hoary hatch]

Sorry voice text , it used to work amazing never making mistakes now it just makes mistakes.

[hoary hatch]

Bros gonna get Baja lasted

[steel stream]

theyre all sold out

[hoary hatch]

Just make one at home

[warped mountain]

They sent me to one of their sister stores and said that it showed they still have three in stock

[hoary hatch]

Add a Doritos crust

Should have gotten a Baja blast pie a few days ago when they were still in stock

Thats like the new card

[hoary hatch]

2050 was only on laptop

if i were to get a 5070 would a 650w psu not be enough

[hoary hatch]

And it's actually ampere architecture

[ripe needle]

I’m getting a laptop 💀

[shell void]

two more months until we see 2026 monitors and tvs 🙏

[ripe needle]

[hoary hatch]

My condolences my friend.

Good luck finding a laptop that has a screen to your liking

[warped mountain]

I mean it is Mesa... So that's like inglewood 🤣

[hoary hatch]

Oh so you're driving on the 51

Didn't know about them until today cuz I took 4 days off of social media

[fringe vigil]

[hoary hatch]

Bro what's your Facebook

[shell void]

i dont expect that to happen, but it would be cool if it does

[fringe vigil]

When I put my gpu in it’s not clicking in it just goes in like boom

[hoary hatch]

I just want DDR6

[warped mountain]

I know the state of consumer electronics is so pitiful at this point.

[hoary hatch]

Nope, that's clearly user error

[ripe needle]

Yk you can just build your own laptop right?

[hoary hatch]

PEBKAC

[warped mountain]

No, fiesta Mall area Mesa 🫤🫤

[ripe needle]

Did yk mobos support two cpu coolers?

[warped mountain]

Nah, we ain't down like that... Not just that but I understand once you click that accept friend request you're getting 30 to 50 reels a day

[ripe needle]

You just have to solder one on the back

[warped mountain]

Maybe the slot is just heavily used and stretched out. Does it pull out easily?

[ripe needle]

Bonnie blue?

[fringe vigil]

Yeah it does tbh

Easily

[warped mountain]

I assume since it's a modern board it has a PCI Express lock?

[hoary hatch]

Fa la la la la, fiesta maaaaaalllllll

[fringe vigil]

It’s b650 arous elite

[hoary hatch]

Didn't FM get demo'd not too long ago

[warped mountain]

Aka Big ass lot full of dirt mounds that they tore down to immediately build housing over a year ago.... And still nothing has been built

They did use it for active shooter training with the police department and then they set it on fire and did fire response with the fire department

But apparently they couldn't get like massive inferno approved they just did like little spot fires on the inside so make sure it was nice and smoky and have them navigate with no power

So I will say it was like pretty cool seeing the local areas of emergency response but it wasn't super realistic

[steel stream]

yeah it'll be hard for them to top the improvement from the tandem OLED for a bit

[hoary hatch]

Housing would be a good start

Fiesta Mall was abandoned for so long

[steel stream]

yo quiero taco bell

[shell void]

yeah idk what theyll do next year

[hoary hatch]

Same

[fringe vigil]

So is there an issue with board if it slots in and takes out easily

[steel stream]

best case I would assume is getting maybe to about 3K nits peak, and improved HDR color volume

[warped mountain]

My understanding right now is who it was sold to was supposed to build affordable housing and I think their definition of affordable was different than the cities so some of the permits have been placed on hold..

[hoary hatch]

It could be a luxury apartments, still better than what was there before

[warped mountain]

I know Walmart wanted to build there but the city wanted something that didn't have massive parking lots and was actually useful.

The issue is going to be is how do you build an apartment complex on just the fiesta Mall area because the whole block is not sold.

[warped mountain]

Yeah but nobody's going to rent luxury apartments that are going to listen to the freeway all day long inside of one of the most crime riddled areas of Mesa... Well at least this side of me so obviously you get to the East side near Apache junction things get bad too

[shell void]

i just want them to give the C series the new panel and a higher refresh rate 🥀

[steel stream]

yeah it's kinda hard to guess if they will do that, but hopefully

that would be yuge

[shell void]

cant wait for the C6 42 to use the same panel as the C2 42, but this time 10% brighter than the C5 42, and it's still 144Hz 🔥

[steel stream]

✨ innovation ✨

[wraith steeple]

fuck it make the c6 42" 120hz

Discord, recognize? @hoary hatch

[frank zealot]

Zero rpm modes exist

If the psu isn't working hard, it won't need a fan

[steel stream]

my brothers grape oled is stained hella because he cleaned it wrong, luckily you don't notice it 99% of the time when it is on

[wise bear]

I'm amazed that people still don't realize that water and a good dry cloth cleans screens without damaging them

[steel stream]

nah qd-oled is a special type of evil

you have to clean it with pure distilled water or 70% ethanol

[frank zealot]

Half the time air and a dry microfiber cloth is plenty

[steel stream]

and a microfiber

[shell void]

and the microfiber has to be completely clean

and dont accidentally touch the coating with your fingernail because it's soft

[green marsh]

hitting corner of tempered glass = GG. Not ChatGPT's fault

[steel stream]

don't even look at it wrong

[frank zealot]

stares at it crosseyed

[steel stream]

it's so over

[young void]

[shell void]

thankfully LG finally fixed their woled monitors so people dont have to cope with grape oled anymore

[dawn plover]

Yes, unless it has a semi-passive mode, in which case no

[dawn plover]

people try using so many harsh cleaning products. It's a screen you don't even touch; it shouldn't be that dirty

[wise bear]

spit from coughing

dust

[dawn plover]

if your spit is shooting across the room at your TV when you cough, you have bigger problems than a dirty TV

[shell void]

maybe you just have weak coughs

[heavy spire]

Think I've cleaned my screens once in the last decade, never had to as I'm 2+ meters away from em

[dawn plover]

(I know you meant monitor I'm jk)

[fringe vigil]

Mine ain’t spinning

[frank zealot]

A monitor is well within cough range

[dawn plover]

what PSU is it?

[fringe vigil]

Rmx850 Corsair

[dawn plover]

yeah that one has a zero rpm mode, I just looked it up

[fringe vigil]

So it’s actually fine lol

How do I know if it’s faulty

[mystic raven]

Well it's his fault on how he removed it. I have dropped my side glass panel several times including the hitting the corners and it hasn't broke yet surprisingly. It's probably how thick it is from looking at the image. If I remember right it's a tempered glass

[dawn plover]

the fan will only spin if it's getting warm (at higher power draw)

it's efficient enough that there's not a lot of waste heat

[mystic raven]

Now I think of it. I should of made the image smaller

[green marsh]

tempered glass is literally glass ready to break. Hitting it on corner with even a small force is enough to break it.

[warped mountain]

Darn 70 miles. No pie 😭. Launched 2 days ago already sold out.

At one location the lady in front of me literally bought the last one 🤬

I did get a coupon for a free Taco tho

[dawn plover]

what pie is this

[frank zealot]

Taco bell Baja blast pie

[heavy spire]

Depends on how hard the material it hits is

That dude had a quartz / marble countertop or something, insta-shatter if it hits it

[green marsh]

Surface tension on the flat parts makes the glass very strong, but once that surface tension is compromised it's going to pop/explode. The easiest way to make glass pop is to literally lightly tap the edge/sides of the glass as the surface tension is only on the flat, making the edge act like an Oreo with hard cookies shell and a soft creamy center.

[fringe vigil]

Is there a stress test to see if psu is faulty

[frank zealot]

Furmark and prime95

[warped mountain]

Furmark, and prime 95 small FFT

[fringe vigil]

Which one to use

[frank zealot]

Jinx

[warped mountain]

Bith

[frank zealot]

Both at once

[warped mountain]

Use both APPS at once

[heavy spire]

Yeah, I've worked with glass, but the material you hit still matters

[young void]

XD

[fringe vigil]

Really

Is there YT tutorials

[warped mountain]

Yes, hope your cooling solution is up to par

If not it's going to thermal throttle and not draw as much power

[green marsh]

yes, but it doesn't have to be super hard. Hard surface makes it easier

[warped mountain]

To open 2 apps at once?

[fringe vigil]

Bruh idk

[frank zealot]

Or furmark + 30 minute cinebench

[warped mountain]

You'll find out 😅. Just be happy we didn't say AES via Intel Burn utility (yes it was called that)

[heavy spire]

I've hit wood a few times without having it shatter, as long as its soft enough to leave a scratch or dent its usually ok

[fringe vigil]

So furmark and what’s the other one?

[warped mountain]

You can also run hardware info if you want to watch the temps but launch hardware info before Furmark and prime95

[hoary hatch]

should I just add 75W (slot power) to my GPU power reading in HWINFO

[frank zealot]

Prime95 or cinebench

[warped mountain]

No "just run heaven loop"??

[warped mountain]

I thought HW info showed you slot power draw?

[frank zealot]

Only to piss off steve

[hoary hatch]

oh shit it does

so my 5070ti is only taking ~220W peak

[warped mountain]

There was something weird with it I think they said it was calculated not actual or something I don't know. This was back when I believe AMD was pulling like 95 Watts out of the slot.

[hoary hatch]

I wonder if the adapter can detect the pigtail power cable

[fringe vigil]

Which one

[warped mountain]

Wym? Like it knows if all three are plugged in based on grounds

[hoary hatch]

WIN + SHIFT + S

[warped mountain]

CDN

[heavy spire]

Highend GPUs usually dont use the pcie slot power all that much. This is with a 4090 with 143 hours uptime

[hoary hatch]

yeah my half awake eyes glaxed over the PCIE line item last night

[fringe vigil]

There’s 100s

[hoary hatch]

jorj, click "local US"
Trust me, it is fast and downloads directly

[fringe vigil]

Omg don’t troll me

I clicked on CDN

[hoary hatch]

I promise I am giving you good advice

[frank zealot]

I swear we babysit the dumbest questions

[heavy spire]

Kinda wish it did use a bit more power from the slot, would be nice to get some of the load away from that 12vhpwr connector

[hoary hatch]

I often troll, but I am being serious this time.
Just use "local US"

[hoary hatch]

so I am running pigtail for 2/3 of my 12v fire adapter inputs

its probably fine

[fringe vigil]

Okay so it’s DL how to check if psu or gpu is bad in hwinfo

[hoary hatch]

well let me boot a game and look at the power draw again

[warped mountain]

NGL ... I FW tablet mode 👀

[fringe vigil]

Sensors only?

[heavy spire]

Some AMD GPUs really hate pigtails for some reason, just ends up unstable with em

[merry stirrup]

so

this is the first generation (ig 40 actually)

that 100% usage =/= tdp limit

[fringe vigil]

This is alien to me

[merry stirrup]

there’s a lot of games where i’m hitting like 250w max or similar

[fringe vigil]

also when I launch a game it will just crash

[hoary hatch]

oh

so there is no RT in this game

[merry stirrup]

yep

[hoary hatch]

but I guess if I was lighting up RT cores that would add 50-100W?

[merry stirrup]

you’re probably fine, or cpu limited

[hoary hatch]

cpu limited
shut yo mouth

[merry stirrup]

it just kinda seems like it’s up to the game. more intensive raster can max it out

[frank zealot]

Does Furmark crash

[merry stirrup]

💀

[steel stream]

which game

[hoary hatch]

floppa do not diss the 265k

[heavy spire]

Can customize it a bit so you get the more relevant info on top

[merry stirrup]

floppa has a 265K

[hoary hatch]

robo dino 2

[steel stream]

akn has a 265k

[merry stirrup]

it’s faster than my 13900Ks @ max tune but i have to be counting frames to know

although i dont have cores done yet but

[merry stirrup]

perhaps

[merry stirrup]

get that ram more flex worthy

[heavy spire]

Think my IMC is dying so running casual atm

Just gaming on it anyways

[fringe vigil]

Is this normal

97 % usage

[merry stirrup]

no such thing. explode it.

[umbral kelp]

Anyone here good with pcs?

[merry stirrup]

not a single one of us

[pure garnet]

value pick champions

[umbral kelp]

Desktop build not pre built

[warped mountain]

Probably voltage drop/ripple.

[umbral kelp]

Rip

[merry stirrup]

it is this

[heavy spire]

[merry stirrup]

cable extensions caused my 7800xt to be very unhappy under an overclock and high loads

[warped mountain]

Does that say 92C on CPU 👀

[heavy spire]

Yeah, could be. Talked to an L3 tech and he said that he had several cases where AMD cards just refused to be stable when daisychaining the cables

[fringe vigil]

Maybe idk why that’s normal

[heavy spire]

While other cards worked fine on the same setup

[warped mountain]

I wonder if you used higher gauge custom cables if that would be an issue... But if you're using custom cables you're not going to need adapters so 🤷

[merry stirrup]

83c is where nvidia cards are no longer good

so yes that’s worrying lowkey

and most 4090s have insanely overbuilt coolers so im terrified

[warped mountain]

I mean ... For CPU technically anything under 100 C but ....

[fringe vigil]

So could that be causing me crashes

[warped mountain]

In hwinfo there is a section that says thermal limit what does it show

[merry stirrup]

83c is when it’s not hitting gpu boost (like the tech, not the rated boost clock) clocks anymore

[fringe vigil]

No it says %

[warped mountain]

No, probably not, unless you're violently dumping 3 GHz at a time

[merry stirrup]

oh it’s 55c not 95

[warped mountain]

Oh ok

[merry stirrup]

3ghz is stable on our cards

40 and 50 series crazy af

[warped mountain]

No I was talking about the CPU going from 4 gigahertz to 1 GHz to thermal throttle that's because I thought it was running at 92c.

[merry stirrup]

ohh ohh ohh

[warped mountain]

Has been confirm to be % not C

[steel stream]

we are all 🐐 s fr fr

[warped mountain]

So it crashes?

[wise bear]

how is it that jorj needs THIS much help after being in this server for as long as he has

[warped mountain]

What does reliability monitor say? Or do you get a pop-up error when it crashes

[fringe vigil]

Under cpu?

[warped mountain]

I'll have to look in a second but yes there's one for CPU and then there should be a section for GPU, just trying to figure out if it's thermal throttling or not.

Since randomly dropping clocks can cause game crashes.

[fringe vigil]

Okay let me see in gta

[heavy spire]

Tested my 4090 TUF with PTM7950, 700+w is when the vaporchamber gives up. 80c average but the hotspots just kills it.

[warped mountain]

Question,

Is there any windows tablets with OLED? That can last 10hrs doing h265 HDR10/DV at 100Mb/s bitrate?

This HP Flip Ultra has to go back no avoiding that, something is wrong with the keyboard, and the coil whine is GTX480 Loud ....
Don't mind Lunar lake TBH, but I think a bit more ram would make a difference in use cases it was never designed for. (Gaming, ultra low, oh the go)

[warped mountain]

Yep, known as dry out, same with heat pipes can happen

Also learned the HP will not charge on a "low power" charger unless it's off. The MacBook doesn't care it'll charge on 20 watt charger even while still in use 💪💪... One of the things I went missing from my landlord was my 150 watt wall adapter 😭

[heavy spire]

Gets toasty in there when you go above 700w

[fringe vigil]

In gta rn

[warped mountain]

I think... If you can lower your ambient temperature you can get a little bit more lead way because you can increase this condensation rate internally. Butt if you have the ability to control your ambient that much you could probably do some crazy stuff with water cooling.

[warped mountain]

Did you alt tab? Is the game still running in the background??

[fringe vigil]

Cpu

[fringe vigil]

Yes for gta

[warped mountain]

At only 210mhz GPU core?? So you are CPU limited?

[fringe vigil]

Idk

What’s the issue is it my gpu or cpu

Also where is power supply

[heavy spire]

I tried testing it a few years ago when it was -5c outside and with the PC next to the balcony door, but the hotspot still caused issues. Didnt want to push it that hard since its my daily driver

[warped mountain]

Unless 48 watts is too much for a 9800 X 3D (I don't know) as far as I can tell there's no issue here other than probable underutilization which may be game engine.

You didn't manually play with any voltages or anything did you? Mainly increasing them?

As far as those screen shots show, everything is completely fine/normal. Butt it's GTA5

[fringe vigil]

No I didn’t, also idk why my pc is not BSOD for gta

[heavy spire]

Looks fine

[fringe vigil]

Any other game like golf with friends will just BSOD

[warped mountain]

Check Windows reliability monitor

Especially if you're getting bsod it will be logged

[heavy spire]

What kind of ram are you running?

[fringe vigil]

Do I need to download it

[warped mountain]

Or is it event monitor?

[fringe vigil]

You mean event finder

[warped mountain]

1mmt

[heavy spire]

Your vsoc is on the lower end for default settings

Should be fine if its 2x16gb @ 6000

[fringe vigil]

How to fix it

[heavy spire]

But if its 2x32gb @ 6000 it might not be enough

So... what ram are you running?

[fringe vigil]

DDR5 g skill

Trident z5neo

[heavy spire]

2x16 or 2x32

And what speed?

[fringe vigil]

2x16

[warped mountain]

"view reliability history" if using classic start

[fringe vigil]

6200 I think

[heavy spire]

[warped mountain]

Need this

[fringe vigil]

now what

[heavy spire]

I'd get something like OCCT and run some stability tests

[fringe vigil]

my rams fine i ran memtest86 and it passed 0 errors

[heavy spire]

Memtest86 is nice for actual broken ram, but its not the best for unstable settings

[fringe vigil]

but surley my ram is not causing all this BSOD

[heavy spire]

Still, if you're getting bsods theres something wrong

What kind of bsod error are you getting?

[fringe vigil]

so when i launch a game, or use premier pro or photoshop

it can be random but for launching games, it BSOD everytime

NOT BLUE screen of death

the black one, the lights on my gpu turn off and my screen goes black

[warped mountain]

What's below it

[green marsh]

you can always just drop back the OC and see if BSODs dissapear or not

[fringe vigil]

how

[green marsh]

what how ? you lower the memory clock a bit in BIOS

[heavy spire]

Bsod is blue, but blackscreen usually means GPU - be it driver or hardware, or PSU/power issues

[fringe vigil]

idk how to do that but i tested with and without xmp

[warped mountain]

Can you make the window tall so we can see that entire list?

[fringe vigil]

yh one of the two

[warped mountain]

ALL those are under critical???

[fringe vigil]

yup

why

theres even more

[heavy spire]

Reminds me of the GPUID:100 errors

[warped mountain]

What I showed is below normal

[heavy spire]

Ada had issues with those

[fringe vigil]

so what u think is wrong, my gpu is dying or psu

[fringe vigil]

im telling u this has been happening since beginning of october

[warped mountain]

Click view technical details next to "hardware error"

[heavy spire]

Click one of the hardware error ones, see if there are more details

[warped mountain]

Bro reliability is 1/10 💀💀

[warped mountain]

Looking at the chart, looks like October 24th is when the issue started, what did you change on October 24th?

[fringe vigil]

no it didnt

i think beginning of october, late September

[heavy spire]

Any driver updates?

[fringe vigil]

i haven't done anything it just started from there

[warped mountain]

I'm sorry, I guess happened more frequently after that point. Looks like your reliability score was 9.9 on October 24th and then has been falling since.

I do see the red x on everyday of that chart

[fringe vigil]

i did DDU and then worked for a short while, then in the night, it just happened again onwards

[warped mountain]

I cannot search these rn on mobile

[fringe vigil]

this is for shut down error

[warped mountain]

Can you click "copy to clipboard" it's on the bottom left of that screen. Then drop it in here

For both

[heavy spire]

So, bsod 116

[warped mountain]

And 141

[fringe vigil]

?

[warped mountain]

[heavy spire]

For 116

[fringe vigil]

so my gpu?

[warped mountain]

Yep

[fringe vigil]

but whys it dying

[heavy spire]

Looks like its causing issues yeah. Might be driver related, but that needs more testing

[fringe vigil]

i havent done anything

[warped mountain]

Question is why. Is it driver? (I would roll back driver and see, maybe even use launch driver)

Or is it hardware?

[heavy spire]

What GPU is it btw?

[warped mountain]

4090

[fringe vigil]

or could it be gpu due to the psu

not getting enough voltage

[warped mountain]

It could be, why do you think the PSU is the problem?

[heavy spire]

Did you check the 12vhpwr cable on it?

[warped mountain]

Is it a modular cable PSU?

[fringe vigil]

idk i dont think it is the issue tbh

[young void]

Likely just the gpu unless it shuts off or the cables meh

[fringe vigil]

it does shut off when i launch a game or in prmeeir pro

[warped mountain]

Whole system shuts off I believe

[fringe vigil]

no just the gpu

[young void]

Mm then either or wich is why im at the just take it to a nearest tech. Not the funnest expierence either way

[heavy spire]

Slightly burnt cables tends to make the GPU unstable, so worth checking if you're on a 4090

[warped mountain]

What is your PSU model code

[fringe vigil]

rmx850 corsair

2022 i bought it

[young void]

A tech can test the gpu isolated or the psu if the gpus clean

[warped mountain]

So ATX 3.1

[fringe vigil]

if you say so yh

[warped mountain]

Actually.... Do you have MSI afterburner?

[fringe vigil]

yes

[warped mountain]

Set power limit on GPU to the lowest available, apply. Try and see if you can make it crash.

[fringe vigil]

this is what it says in event finder but windows dont know why its shutting down

[young void]

Windows only knows sometimes lol

[warped mountain]

I highly doubt you are exceeding an 850w power supply....

But if the power supply is weak this could be a data point.

[fringe vigil]

how

[warped mountain]

Power limit

[fringe vigil]

set it to 0??

are you sure

[warped mountain]

It goes to Zero??

[fringe vigil]

yes obvs

[young void]

Thats the fan for clarification*

[fringe vigil]

oh

[warped mountain]

Normally sliding the slider all the way to the left stops at like 40%

[fringe vigil]

hold on which one the clock sectiopn?

[heavy spire]

Mine goes to 2%

[warped mountain]

Okay, it's been a while. 🤣 Set it to 40% click apply.

Now see if it wants to crash

[fringe vigil]

guys which one do i set to 0%

the fan power limit?

[heavy spire]

Afterburner used to bug out a few years ago where it would randomly set the power limit to 2%. Had to spend a few minutes figuring out why I had 30 fps ingame

[fringe vigil]

which do i change

[heavy spire]

Power limit

[warped mountain]

It's not actually the fan power limit it's the board power limit, but yes it's confusing

[fringe vigil]

okay like this?

[warped mountain]

40% then click checkmark to apply

[fringe vigil]

you said 0% but okay why 40

okay done

is temp limit okay?

[warped mountain]

Don't touch the temp limit.

[fringe vigil]

okay, now shall i launch golf with friends

cus that always BSOD instantly

[warped mountain]

If it does go back to event manager and see if you have the same codes. 141 and 116

[heavy spire]

Try this driver if its still crashing

https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/details/237719/

[warped mountain]

It will log an entry for the most recent event so check the times to make sure you're looking at the newest one

[signal sail]

Hey people, ASUS ProArt PA27UCGE 27" 4K 160Hz or ASUS ProArt PA27JCV 27" 5K 60Hz for MacBook Pro + PlayStation 5 setup?
https://www.asus.com/displays-desktops/monitors/proart/proart-display-pa27ucge/
https://www.asus.com/displays-desktops/monitors/proart/proart-display-5k-pa27jcv/

I'm trying to decide whether to give up the Retina Sharp 5K display with 218 PPI in favor of a higher refresh rate and better color grading. Both has the productivity features that I need like 96W USB-C and built-in hub.

[warped mountain]

Well I would say unplug and reseat the power cables to the GPU and on the power supply side and also inspect them with a flashlight for any charring. 1st

[fringe vigil]

Okay the games running fine, but usually it can BSOD like 2 mins into the game

[heavy spire]

Yeah, worth checking the cable if it just randomly starts like that

[young void]

Higher fps in your scenario becomes a more do you favor multi-player or cinematic expierence yunus

[warped mountain]

Play it, report back, you will notice the game is running slower because we have reduced the power availability to the GPU.

[shell void]

most glazed driver of all time

[heavy spire]

566.36 was the last stable driver before the 5000 series launched and ruined it all, so worth testing that one just to rule out software issues

[warped mountain]

This is fine right?? (The Porsche yesterday)

[fringe vigil]

Can I test another game like mafia which BSOD without even getting to start screen

[warped mountain]

Yes test everything that makes it crash we're doing process of elimination troubleshooting.

[heavy spire]

[warped mountain]

They have 30,000 miles on them

[heavy spire]

Cracked rubber, good stuff

[young void]

Luckily a bit of life left in her but not much

[warped mountain]

Bought new in 2022!

Is there any windows tablets with OLED? That can last 10hrs doing h265 HDR10/DV at 100Mb/s bitrate?

This HP Flip Ultra has to go back, something is wrong with the keyboard, and the coil whine is GTX480 Loud .... Don't mind Lunar lake TBH, but I think a bit more ram would make a difference in use cases it was never designed for. (Gaming)

[heavy spire]

Bit early for the rubber to start cracking tbh

[warped mountain]

Also ... This damn screen is a fingerprint nightmare. 😭

[final flint]

Is 85 degrees ok for a 5700x3d at 100%

[warped mountain]

Also a bit early for them to be wearing out considering most of that is Highway.. it's all good though it was originally listed as a all-terrain tire with a 60,000 mi warranty when I purchased it.. then Walmart went back and said no actually it's a mud terrain tire with zero warranty...

The tread pattern I saw online is not the tread pattern that I received but Walmart's policy is once it's mounted to the tire there's no returns.. so even though I was driving it in the parking lot and turned around and said no these are too loud they said no 💀

[heavy spire]

[heavy spire]

Whats the production date on em?

[warped mountain]

That's max brightness (~400 nits) any way to like help that? Screen protector or something?

[warped mountain]

It's a Walmart exclusive tire that had just launched like a month before I bought it but let me go check

[wise bear]

wash your hands more often holy hell

[warped mountain]

52nd week 2021, 01 week 2022 x2. Idk on the last one, they mounted it date code in

[pure garnet]

gaming grease on the screen 🔥

[warped mountain]

Yooo I do!! It's just hot here

[heavy spire]

Pretty bad rubber quality if it looks like that after 4 years

[warped mountain]

Agreed, and it's a shitty compound because it doesn't work anywhere. It doesn't work braking in the dry, it doesn't work in the rain, it has no traction in the snow (even when they were new).. and off-road they're like not even that good in like dirt and sand 🫤

[heavy spire]

Or well, if you live somewhere hot it does degrade the tires faster I guess

[warped mountain]

Never buying Goodyear again

[warped mountain]

Not 4 years like that,

[warped mountain]

And they were starting to fall apart in chunk like mid 2023 🫤

[heavy spire]

Sounds pretty bad

[warped mountain]

So there's not like a screen protector with like a coating? This is a massive pain in the butt to get off I literally have to scrub it with a microfiber cloth 😬

But yeah, everything I liked the 2-in-1 for, it does perfect. Lunar lake is really redefined entry level usability performance. Arc GPUis amazing with unified memory. (For iGPU)
Battery life is okay if I'm pounding on the unit with lots of like read write, and decompression during game downloads it does about 25% an hour. But that's also in high performance mode.
Last night I let it play a bunch of movies. Woke up 9 hours later with 15% charge. So not bad. I just use it more in tablet/tent mode than anything else.

So wondering if there is something better?

[heavy spire]

Havent kept up on mobile stuff in years, but sounds like you need to go dig into some reviews

[warped mountain]

Had to turn the scaling down 🤣 200% was like a kids toy or something

[fringe vigil]

Guys it seems like it’s not BSODing at 40%

[warped mountain]

I feel like it would be just a laptop without a keyboard/detachable keyboard.

[heavy spire]

40% power limit means your GPU can only use 40% of its default power, so yeah

[warped mountain]

Yes, we have artificially limited the total power available to the GPU

[heavy spire]

But if its not crashing, thats something I guess

[fringe vigil]

It doesn’t seem to BSOD

At 40%

I want 100

[heavy spire]

Do it, see what happens

[warped mountain]

So far as far as we can tell ,you're not over temping the GPU causing a thermal shutdown, lowering the power lets us know if the input power is possibly one of the reasons.

I'm thinking transient load spike, if I'm honest, especially with it being intermittent.

[fringe vigil]

But why’s it’s not crashing 40% but does at 100

[warped mountain]

Power surge

[pure garnet]

less psu load, lower voltage

[fringe vigil]

From what

How do I fix power surge

[warped mountain]

Or voltage drop via poor connection

[warped mountain]

You don't. It's a Nvidia thing

[fringe vigil]

Wth

[warped mountain]

When this happens the whole PC just stops right? And then reboots??

Or does JUST the GPU itself crash

[fringe vigil]

No, the gpu lights turn off, so the gpu.. and there’s a black screen

[warped mountain]

We aren't there yet though ... still troubleshooting,

[warped mountain]

Do all the fans stop on the computer?

[fringe vigil]

Only the gpu ones but the others do not

[heavy spire]

Transients arent that bad on 4000 series cards, but I guess its still a 4090

[warped mountain]

Then it's not OCP. So transient spike is not triggering a power supply shutdown.. but it could trigger a voltage drop that then pisses off the GPU into a crash

Did it crash at 100%?

[fringe vigil]

Yes ofc that’s what it was on before I switched to 40

[warped mountain]

So 100% it crashed you switched to 40 it didn't crash now back at 100% it crashed again?

[fringe vigil]

No I haven’t changed it yet but 40% NO CrASH

[warped mountain]

Crank it back to 100%, see if it crashes

You didn't do manual Ram timings did you??

[fringe vigil]

Okay

Just xmp

[heavy spire]

Gotta get those timings tightened up

[fringe vigil]

Idk how

[heavy spire]

After you get this sorted ofc

[fringe vigil]

Okay guys im changing back to 100%

Power

Shall I restart pc or no

[heavy spire]

Surprised the guys in here havent taught you how to make your own ram profile yet

[fringe vigil]

Okay changed to 100%

[warped mountain]

Okay, IF it crashes again I want you to go into bios and just disable XMP. In theory X and peace stable but when you're dealing with the stability issue run base time.

WAIT ... You are Ryzen ...

[warped mountain]

Just run it. As soon as you click the check mark it tells the GPU what to do

[keen wigeon]

700w? Why would you run so low efficiency? Benchmarks?

[warped mountain]

Is this .265 or .264?

[fringe vigil]

Launched mafia not crashing let me try another game

[warped mountain]

When it crashes, let us know

[fringe vigil]

Okay

[heavy spire]

Was just testing the aircooler, wanted to see what it could handle

[keen wigeon]

Sweeeet

[heavy spire]

Those beefy boys sure can handle some heat, and I dont even have the top tier model

[keen wigeon]

That's what's up! I need to tear my gamer PC apart and swap the thermal paste. It is horrible. Should have stuck with AC5 or something.

[wise bear]

hevc

[heavy spire]

The stock paste on my GPU got real bad after a year. Before and after repasting with PTM7950. Or Thermalright Heilos. Cant remember which one I used here.

From 101c hotspot to 82c

[warped mountain]

I think I learned yesterday that that's 264 and that's easier for CPU but bigger file for same quality

[keen wigeon]

My video card is fine, the CPU is sweating and loud AF

probably because it is in an itx case lol

[wise bear]

itx best

matx 2nd best

[keen wigeon]

it is great having a tiny machine, I think the coolermaster AIO the case came with could do better

[granite dirge]

I really wish the bios wasn't so terrifying to me.

Slowly trying to find some.stuff to make my boot faster and remove the memory training ...

[keen wigeon]

Or I can flip the fans around so they're pulling instead of pushing, that may help.

[solid pelican]

Ik I already was here yesterday, is the jump to the 5060ti 16gb big enough from the 3060 12gb to make it worth it or is it not worth the cost

[heavy spire]

Intel or AMD?

[granite dirge]

Amd

[heavy spire]

Should be Memory Context Restore then

[uncut kettle]

new pb!!!

[heavy spire]

Usually found in the tweaker\OC tab

[granite dirge]

Im failing on finding the options

[heavy spire]

What motherboard do you have?

[warped mountain]

OHHHHH this means it's using E-cores huh? probably why it lasted 10 hours last night. Pot player was using p-cores.
I like the OLED HDR experience, just need more brightness (yes i know that kills them faster)

[granite dirge]

B850 riptide wifi

[heavy spire]

Should be in the oc tweaker tab, somewhere around the memory settings

Like right below the dram speed or something

[granite dirge]

I have no idea what I'm doing in the bios .

[heavy spire]

Post a picture of the tweaker tab, should be able to find it

[granite dirge]

The white bar that says disabled is gaming mode

[heavy spire]

Meh, looks like they have moved things around again

[warped mountain]

If it still hasn't crashed reboot the machine and see if it crashes

We haven't done anything that would "fix" it

[fringe vigil]

Yh I shut it down now, going to do something else for a min then turn it on again and test

[granite dirge]

So... Any idea on what to do i have no idea.

I had to look up guides on how to even get to the bios

[heavy spire]

Just AsRock things I guess

[granite dirge]

Under and CBS their no DDR options

[heavy spire]

Much strangeness

[topaz veldt]

@slim pebble fun until

[heavy spire]

You sure its disabled btw? How long does it take for windows to start booting?

Some boards have it enabled by default

[granite dirge]

I don't know what's enabled or disabled. And usually 3+ mins. If it doesn't get stuck mid training

[heavy spire]

Right, sounds like its off. Shouldnt get stuck though

[granite dirge]

I genuinely don't know anything of what I am doing.

Is there like a search function in bios?

[heavy spire]

Should be one

[granite dirge]

What should I search for.

I found a search item at the bottom.

[heavy spire]

Memory context restore I guess

[granite dirge]

It says enabled.

Is that what I want?

[heavy spire]

Yeah

If its enabled and you're still getting 3+ minute boot times...

And it locks up from time to time

Thats not great

[granite dirge]

Like the lock up is it won't output a GPU signal to the monitor/TV so I have to reboot it again. And sometimes more than once and then it gives a image. Sometimes it doesn't happen some it does it's sporadic.

[merry stirrup]

sounds like mcr and the am5 memory controller at its sunday best!

[topaz veldt]

@edgy laurel felt like I was fitting in with 35 ft at lunch.... And the a Wally 58 pulls up....

[granite dirge]

I don't know what anything you said means floppa.

I'm already really lost and confused

[merry stirrup]

what i said is irrelevant to you but somewhat relevant to the conversation

[heavy spire]

Maybe 1.2vsoc isnt enough for 2x32gb 6000. Could try 1.250v SoC

[merry stirrup]

long winded way of saying that i hate amd

[granite dirge]

I don't know what your saying hoofie or where to go.

[merry stirrup]

my 7900x3d needed it was either 1.23 or 1.27 for 6000 LMAOOO

[pure garnet]

💀

[merry stirrup]

fucking am5 man

if you get a chip like that you just sit there with xmp on

[pure garnet]

blows up 13900ks like a boss

[heavy spire]

Set that one to 1.250v

[heavy spire]

oof

[merry stirrup]

valuable experience, only 380$, usable chip

[granite dirge]

Their was no option for xmp or expo

[heavy spire]

Wait, did you manually set the speed to 6000?

[pure garnet]

it's under dram profile configuration

[merry stirrup]

always going to be one floppa who has to find the limits

[granite dirge]

I don't remember

[pure garnet]

i kinda wanna grab a cheap am5 board and see if my x3d is fully cooked but at the same time i wanna be rid of am5 for awhile

[merry stirrup]

had to update my sisters rig

they have one of the blow up cpus on a launch bios

[granite dirge]

When I typed in 1.250v it changed to auto.

[heavy spire]

Click the Dram profile config folder, set it to Expo 1, or XMP 1 if theres no Expo

[merry stirrup]

i’m enjoying the just works experience

[granite dirge]

I'm so lost and confused

[pure garnet]

fr

[merry stirrup]

i turn on computer and it posts with no fuss and it play video game

[green marsh]

dude, no.
HEVC = H.265 = more demanding on encoding and decoding, but smaller file sizes and better quality at same bitrate.

[heavy spire]

If you dont have to work hard to make it run properly, does it even feel good using it?

[granite dirge]

This is what I'm trying to accomplish

[merry stirrup]

9”ghz” mem=floppa happy

[pure garnet]

im still on da 8000 🔥

[granite dirge]

I'm still trying to do this and it's not.

[merry stirrup]

bro i daily a speed ryzen users cant post without ln2 im very happy

[edgy laurel]

H.264 = AVC = old-school but still widely used today. Nearly everything can play it.
H.265 = HEVC = less old, more efficient, less compatibility for older hardware Minimum anything should be encoding into these days for playback/online sharing/storage.

[merry stirrup]

don’t type v

[granite dirge]

It's red is that ok?

[edgy laurel]

badass

[merry stirrup]

just “ 1.25” i also think you have to change SOC voltage override to manual

[merry stirrup]

yes, 1.3 is upper limit

[granite dirge]

I'm so lost.and.confused. what's so voltage override

[heavy spire]

ASRock and 1.3vsoc isnt recommended

[merry stirrup]

you don’t need it, hence the think

[lunar comet]

(Just gonna post this here instead)

I wanna ask something and clarify it. I've noticed for a long time that the cpu and gpu usage when gaming only hovers around 30%-60%. (9800x3d & 4070S) is it normal to have those? Im used to seeing 90+%-100% gpu usage on benchmarking vids and im wondering if my % usage means its got more juice.

[merry stirrup]

“upper limit” good keywords

[pure garnet]

considering there's been nobody able to find anything concrete i wouldn't read too much into it

[merry stirrup]

i have almost no care for my cpu in the socket so i just blow things up idgaf

[granite dirge]

I'm so lost I have no idea what to do.

[merry stirrup]

13900ks blowing up was earths sign that the ocf was 329

[merry stirrup]

you already changed it. you don’t need to mess with anything wlse

i said you might have to change the SOC voltage mode to override. but you don’t. it let you just type in your value

[pure garnet]

central computers goated

[heavy spire]

The easy mode screen probably has a one click button to enable Expo\XMP

[granite dirge]

But they were saying to do something in the dram profile... And Google said to make sure fast boot was on and and like to enable Memory Context Restore and DRAM Power Down in the BIOS/UEFI settings. But like I don't even know where any of this is.

[merry stirrup]

yeah bro idk cali computers seems to be under the radar for most if people are saying ocf is 429 or something rn

[granite dirge]

There's an easy mode?

[topaz veldt]

haha yes very humbling

[warped mountain]

Damn okay, what's .264, just .264?

[granite dirge]

Like my head is throbbing in pain cause I'm getting a headache from this being so hard to follow.

[green marsh]

dude, google is your friend https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Video_Coding

[heavy spire]

Top right, should be a button there

[warped mountain]

Thanks

[granite dirge]

And now I'm more confused

I don't know this screen at all...

[warped mountain]

I wonder why the ARC isn't working as hard as that other file, even with 6X the bit rate 🤔

[pure garnet]

send a picture

[heavy spire]

See the profile button? See if theres Expo or XMP there

[granite dirge]

Expo

[green marsh]

and H.266 is most likely dead on arrival, due licensing fees the AV1 doesn't have

[granite dirge]

Like I don't know what I'm looking at at all or the other settings and stuff.

[topaz veldt]

@edgy laurel also

[heavy spire]

Select that, and save + restart and check that there are no other weird changes being made

[granite dirge]

Apparently according to this screen my CPU is at 255.0c

[merry stirrup]

i love asrock

they produce working bioses with no problems or miscommunications

[granite dirge]

And my fan status is 65535

[hoary hatch]

Lol I love binary

[granite dirge]

How?

[heavy spire]

Is there like a save icon and a restart icon at the top?

[merry stirrup]

i think F9 or F10 will give you the save and exit prompt too

[granite dirge]

I got a spinny arrow and a floppy disc a pbo (auto), polychrome RGB off , English and then the button for advance mode.

[heavy spire]

Yeah, I guess F10 also works

[warped mountain]

Here you go. Last H.265 was running 90-100%

[granite dirge]

Let's see if this works.

So far nothing.

[heavy spire]

First boot after making changes is always slow

[hoary hatch]

You screen toucher

[pure garnet]

i love the random forums bios flashes

[hoary hatch]

Ouch

[warped mountain]

Looks good, no blooming, but ofc without HDR certification the skin tones are a bit off.

[hoary hatch]

I was galloping up the stairs and almost tripped face first into the wall

[warped mountain]

I JUST cleaned it too 😭😭

[echo hedge]

did u use a mcdonalds hamburger as a screen wipe

[pure garnet]

lmfao

[warped mountain]

Cleaned 15 minutes ago ...

[young void]

It be like that sometimes

[echo hedge]

thats like the adult version of being an ipad kid

[pure garnet]

put down the cheetos 🥀

[echo hedge]

nah its goldfish

[warped mountain]

?? I'm not eating anything. It's just warm so sweating a bit. #tech-chat-2 message

[echo hedge]

was a joke

[hoary hatch]

Call me crazy but I think DLAA might be good??

[heavy spire]

Time to get some touchscreen gloves

[warped mountain]

The reflections in indirect lighting is WILD at 400-nits actual.

[warped mountain]

I was thinking like screen protector

[heavy spire]

Dont think that would help, would still get greasy after a while

[steel stream]

nah u cray cray

[warped mountain]

Like on my phone obviously if you hold it at an angle you can see the smears, but it's not distracting in use.

[heavy spire]

[warped mountain]

I feel like Matte OLED would work, butt as far as I know nobody makes that because you would have to crank the brightness of the OLED which would kill it faster.

[steel stream]

you mean matte OLED for laptops right

[heavy spire]

Can get matte screen protectors apparently

Might help

[warped mountain]

Umm ...I paid for 2 day shipping, it should be here today, no?

[karmic folio]

sounds like its gonna be there tomorrow

[warped mountain]

What's state is TH?

[karmic folio]

[echo hedge]

@warped mountain ur package is in bangkok lol

[warped mountain]

Yeah but 2 day is still 2 day unless you are using USPS .. this feels like back when I used to work at Amazon... they charge the customer for 2-day shipping. Then they would pay the carrier 4-day shipping but coordinate their delivery to where it would be delivered to the customer within 2 days.

[steel stream]

it is an incredibly bad time for shipping

all high and mighty smh

[warped mountain]

It's FINE ... They have other planes. They just like using those cuz they can turn two flights into one. There hasn't been enough for the big boy planes retired from airliners for the package carriers to adapt.

[warped mountain]

"Boeing said ground all MD-11" is probably the most terrifying thing I've ever read.. remember this is the company that after two deadly incidents still said their planes didn't need to be grounded

(granted my understanding is that was because those are new purchase carriers which could then charge Boeing for everyday grounded)

UPS rn

[echo hedge]

bro this is CRAZY

[warped mountain]

Not bad

What country?

[echo hedge]

[heavy spire]

Buy one, pay for 2

[echo hedge]

£90 for a screwdriver and book

[warped mountain]

Just go pick it up in person

[echo hedge]

ah yes, probs cheaper

[fair wraith]

Is there a reliable place for seeing different models and specs of gpu specifically nvidia

[heavy spire]

Techpowerup I guess

[warped mountain]

Nvidia.com

[warped mountain]

Off axis it's REALLY bad

[fair wraith]

I think the screens a bit dirty 🤔

[heavy spire]

Looks like my pad after my niece played with it the other day

[echo hedge]

he is the niece

[fair wraith]

Lol

[heavy spire]

[steel stream]

pcpartpicker might work

[pure garnet]

techpowerup database

https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/

[steel stream]

that too

[karmic folio]

[fair wraith]

Thanks I'm trying to see what gpu to get

I got a 1660 super 🥀

But a $300 cpu

[pure garnet]

what’s your budget

[warped mountain]

Guys ... I think I found my unicorn!

[warped mountain]

My hands are like sweating, but not sweating, it's 🥵 for November!

[echo hedge]

@warped mountain

[fair wraith]

Idk rn

[pure garnet]

9060 xt 16gb would be what i'd target imo

[whole coral]

Lmao imagine

It’s gonna be 32F tomorrow night

[warped mountain]

Anything not good here?

[pure garnet]

it's around 380 but would be a big upgrade

[heavy spire]

[pure garnet]

didn't you just complian about the macbooks 1000

[wise bear]

Y'all hate me for pizza and applesauce but can you explain why the military pizza slice mre comes with a thing of applesauce

[fair wraith]

Paying 2k for not 1tb and only 7 ultra also 200 for some keyboard and pen

[wise bear]

ITS A THING

A GOOD THING

[steel stream]

im not gonna do it

[wise bear]

You should at least try it

unsweetened, cool applesauce with piping hot pizza

[warped mountain]

Well because of the blooming, I expected NONE since apple and whatnot.

[fair wraith]

So

Let's just not get this overpriced thing man

[pure garnet]

dude we're 4 days into the can't be pleased laptop gauntlet

this'll be like the 4th purchase

[warped mountain]

This HP's OLED is "500" tests at ~400 full screen.

[fair wraith]

Him?

[wise bear]

WHO CARES

[pure garnet]

yes all him

[warped mountain]

Sugar vs fat

[fair wraith]

Wish I could drop money like that on tech 🥀

I need better stuff

[wise bear]

holy shit if you don't like the display a laptop comes with just get a secondary display with higher nits

[wise bear]

that makes no sense, everything breaks down to sugars.

also, aspplesauce is literally sugar

[steel stream]

I won't do that to pizza

[echo hedge]

simple and complex sugars are different

[wise bear]

thats not the argument that I'm making rn

[warped mountain]

It's 265GB ssd. And replaceable, it's getting an 8TB Samsung, assuming it can take silk size cards (still looking into this) it's also Lunar lake 32GB. Yeah I wish pen and keyboard were included. The pen is $100, the keyboard is $179.

[steel stream]

I will eat the Costco pizza the way it comes

[wise bear]

pizza + applesauce is good

[echo hedge]

depends on the toppings on the pizza i suppose

[fair wraith]

Honestly don't i know you probably got a bunch of money but you don't wanna waste it even if you can afford it man

[warped mountain]

The MAC yeah, but it can actually run games ... Unknown about "well" yet . I was expecting it to be 1-2 FPS the way y'all were talking.

[fair wraith]

I'm talking about that hp laptop

[warped mountain]

Right, when you eat stuff that's fattening you get tired but if you give yourself a bunch of fast burn sugar it'll wake you up. Also isn't it the applesauce with caffeine in it??

[wise bear]

no, there's a chocolate energy bar

[fair wraith]

Isn't this tech not food chat 🥀

[echo hedge]

u cant use tech if u dont eat

[wise bear]

any topics go pretty much

[fair wraith]

Yes but you can't use tech if you don't decide what to buy

[wise bear]

I decided on a laptop

[pure garnet]

buy arrow lake

[fair wraith]

Cool what laptop

[wise bear]

because I'm not a picky child

[fair wraith]

I kinda am I gotta decide also

[wise bear]

zephyrus g14 w/ a 5070ti

[pure garnet]

peyton picked the laptop, asked like 2 questions and then has loved it since

it's really that easy

[wise bear]

its so easy lmao

[fair wraith]

Probably better than my whole desktop gpu I'm sure
