[devout ridge]

assuming i know literally nothing about 3 modeling, how hard would that be

[wise bear]

follow a couple yt tutorials and you'll be fine in fusion360

[devout ridge]

is it something i can figure out in 30m or like 30h

[pure garnet]

if we're gonna talk about bloat lets talk about the mess that is debians packaging

[devout ridge]

coolio

[wise bear]

WOW LOOKIE THERE

[pure garnet]

install neofetch
500 additional packages are pulled in for optional features

[devout ridge]

how would flexible filament hold up to stage combat

low force hits, albeit lots of em

[wise bear]

thats not a me question

[slim pebble]

That’s just Debian. The upside and downside of it is that it’ll have some piece of software from 20 years ago packaged with it.

[pure garnet]

or we could talk about how glibc changes break binaries all the time

[wise bear]

need help moving that goalpost?

[pure garnet]

or how people still can't figure out which to pick between x11/wayland

[slim pebble]

I don’t run Debian, so I don’t see that as a goalpost?

[devout ridge]

looks like TPU for AMS from bamboo labs would work well for me

high impact resistance and ease of printability

[wise bear]

debian=linux

[slim pebble]

Debian is a distribution. One of a thousand.

[wise bear]

Still linux.

[slim pebble]

Take arch. You build your own distro and don’t install anything you don’t want or need

[devout ridge]

thats like saying truenas is linux, technically correct but unhelpful

[pure garnet]

tbf none of this convo is actually helpful either way

https://tenor.com/view/linux-linux-users-gaming-computer-computers-gif-23121479

[wise bear]

his whole argument is based on "linux has no bloat compared to windows"

[devout ridge]

the side convo about my prop swords was helpful

[pure garnet]

yeah true

i hope they come out good!

[devout ridge]

I hope so too

I need like 10 of em so that might be my life for a couple weeks

[slim pebble]

I never said that. If you don’t want bloat pick literally any other distro

[pure garnet]

you can't really define bloat

[devout ridge]

what would be the best way to bond parts? cause i doubt it'll fit into a single print

i was hoping for like a 24in sword

[wise bear]

soldering iron and a little swirlyswirly down the seam

[pure garnet]

one could argue fedora and bazzite are bloated vs alpine

[devout ridge]

what about the divot that'll cause

[wise bear]

bondo

or print a hollow space for a wooden rod

glue to rod

[devout ridge]

wouldn't that diminish the flexibility of the edge?

[wise bear]

how much of the edge are you wanting to be flexible

[devout ridge]

the entire edge, on both sides

dumb actors, so gotta try and keep them safe

[wise bear]

thats not helpful -what constitutes as the "edge" of a sword and how far towards the middle does it go.

[devout ridge]

double edged sword, probably 1/2in thick

with the rest being a rigid filament

a xiphos if that helps

pommel being all rigid, as well as the crossguard and grip

literally just the "cutting edge" would be flexible

[wise bear]

print the tpu section with little to no infill but have like 3-4 wall lines

you'll get the shape and the bounceback that you want

[devout ridge]

so print the edge separate to the rest of the sword?

[wise bear]

yes

you're not going to get tpu and petg/pla to bond, they're different plastics

you'll have to either use glue/epoxy or do like a little slot down the sword edge

[devout ridge]

i'll probably have to do some experimentation my self to see what exactly works best for my situation

but that's all good to know

[wise bear]

that's all crafting is, experimenting

[devout ridge]

another concern i have is how paint will adhere to the TPU

[wise bear]

plasti-dip or colored tpu

[devout ridge]

looking at colored tpu, but i need to be able to paint it as they don't offer the color i need

i need bronze

[pure garnet]

does spray paint not work on tpu?

[wise bear]

scuff the surface, plasti-dip

[wise bear]

flexible element of tpu makes paint adhesion difficult

[pure garnet]

ah okay

[devout ridge]

what is the plasti-dip for?

would i color that to what i want, then apply it?

[pure garnet]

i was thinking of a different plastic

[devout ridge]

how well would plasti-dip hold up to impacts though?

[wise bear]

plasti-dip is a semi-flexible, semi-permanent spray paint alternative

[devout ridge]

again, dumb actors fucking with it

[wise bear]

no idea

if anything why not use something like epdm tubing cut in half as the sword edges

you'll be able to bonk someone good but not have any damage

[devout ridge]

i was hoping for it to look more like a sharp edge on-stage

i can get plasti-dip in the color i need for 20usd a can

[pure garnet]

i would assume it would last awhile since it’s basically a rubber coating

[wise bear]

ja

NO NO NO NO NO

[warped mountain]

its a very good cooler with amazing customer support if something goes wrong (free mounting adapters for life (unoffical) and a ton of QOL features. it is a super premium product.

[wise bear]

NO

[devout ridge]

the product i'm looking at literally advertises as wheel hub coating

[warped mountain]

whoops that was from earlier

[warped mountain]

what do u want

[wise bear]

for you to go away

[devout ridge]

if it can hold up to the wear and tear of driving, it can holdup to stage combat

[warped mountain]

https://tenor.com/view/regina-george-mean-girls-obsessed-gif-14169675

if you think hating you is obsession you have a weird way of viewing the world

[warped mountain]

https://tenor.com/view/driving-panic-crying-haleydunphy-modernfamily-sarahhyland-gif-6584120196690803624

[warped mountain]

idk why u hate, whole point of this hat room is tech guidance and general discussion/ debate.

[pure garnet]

i got fans

[devout ridge]

pretty color

[topaz veldt]

LOL dude...

[wise bear]

because you desire what you don't understand and are stupidly willing to throw thousands of dollars at the smallest, most first-world problem ever.

[devout ridge]

what do yall think would work best for the grip?

[wise bear]

wood tbh

[devout ridge]

just some texture in the 3d print?

i ain't making a wooden handle dude

[warped mountain]

what? was that a knock off listing or something?

[wise bear]

like make the core wood and work around that, trust it'll make big models easier

[devout ridge]

oh like have thick wooden dowels in the middle

[wise bear]

yeeee

[warped mountain]

yeah thats why i ask for idk advise lol.

[devout ridge]

that way i need less infill for the same rigidity

saves on print time and filament

[wise bear]

You've been at it for a month

[devout ridge]

can bridge parts as well

[warped mountain]

anyways get TF over it we have moved on.

[warped mountain]

no i was the 6th dear.

and the laptop thing was finalized

[wise bear]

don't call me dear you cretin

[devout ridge]

peyton just block em and move on

[warped mountain]

bless your heart

[wise bear]

eat a disc

[devout ridge]

they thrive on interaction- OI DON'T YOU USE SOUTHERN DEROGATION IN MY PRESENCE

[warped mountain]

now we are on to s11 vs ipad pro tablet. $552 vs $1318 for HDR content consumption since teh MBP isnt good at HDR do to exstreme blooming

[topaz veldt]

Who would buy a $150+ air cooler?

[wise bear]

I hate you so much

[warped mountain]

d15 have always been expensive tho. its teh best of teh best

[wise bear]

no its not lmao

stop spewing outdated rhetoric

[warped mountain]

whats a better quieter air cooler?

[devout ridge]

my issue is gonna be getting the transition from TPU to whatever rigid filament i decide on look good with that long ass bezel

i wish it was a normal sword that had a smaller bezel at just the very edge

hopefully the plasti-dip obscures it after some prep

[wise bear]

what if you did the whole blade in tpu and just metallic plastidip it

[devout ridge]

i'd imagine that'd be way too flaccid

[wise bear]

wood dowel core, whole tpu blade

[devout ridge]

maybe 2-3 wooden dowels for the width of the blade

[green marsh]

why do i find something to annoy me in used computer listings every single time. Like why did this guy choose that fan header for the rear fan ? 😄

[wise bear]

dowels can be like an inch thick my guy

[devout ridge]

i don't want the blade too thick

it's a relatively thin and wide blade

[wise bear]

OOH use rebar for the middle /j

[devout ridge]

(ik i'm being difficult, i just want this to look perfect)

[warped mountain]

whoops forgot to click reply,
#tech-chat-2 message

[wise bear]

I am not your personal google.

[devout ridge]

if i can get a whole TPU blade to work, that'd be a lot easier

i can't do the whole blade in one print though

blade alone would be like 20in

[young void]

I hope alls been good for the Snails fam been keeping grandma snails in my thoughts ❤️ also update my brother accepted life with a trach tube but recovering well

[fervent chasm]

I need an R940 so bad

But I don’t have R940 money rn

[warped mountain]

nah i actually hate it. held my tongue but i saw y'all giving intentionally incorrect guidance on things just to be vengeful POS people.

[devout ridge]

"intentionally incorrect guidance" what?

[warped mountain]

no no YOU contested my statement, now explain your viewpoint

[fervent chasm]

ECC ram prices haven’t really went up the same way that regular ram has, why?

[devout ridge]

lower consumer demand to begin with

ECC ram also is higher priority for data centers so they're more likely to direct ram silicon to ECC production instead of consumer dimms

[fervent chasm]

Youd think people would go with servers for higher ram capacities, since that’s the craze no?

[devout ridge]

consumers don't go for servers at all

except for the super small minority of us with homelabs

or home data centers in snail's case

[fervent chasm]

I don’t think consumers are driving ram prices up

[green marsh]

the used market has gone up a bit too

[devout ridge]

they aren't, but they are the foundation of demand

also,

ECC ram also is higher priority for data centers so they're more likely to direct ram silicon to ECC production instead of consumer dimms

meaning consumer dimms are the first to get cut from production

[fervent chasm]

I guess

[fervent chasm]

I’ve been planning a build for almost a year now

[south shuttle]

i mean, it's accessible ig

[fervent chasm]

Literally everything is ready just need to money for the build

[warped mountain]

i think buffered wont work in a non ECC board.

[fervent chasm]

Which is why I said to go with servers not to go with ECC ram

[green marsh]

i need to dedicate the whole christmas period to learning FreeCAD, so i can be ready for my future 3d printer sometime in february/march 😄

[wise bear]

fusion 360 is free for personal/hobby use

[green marsh]

btw ECC DDR4 prices on ebay right now are stupid

the 32GB modules i bought for 25 euros February are now listed above 100 euros a piece

this is the single "supercheap" option https://www.ebay.com/itm/286929629966

everything else is 140+ euros

[warped mountain]

buttt i wanna do 6.5 GHZ all core and server boards only can BLK oc (is this still a thing) /j

[green marsh]

60-80 euros are the 'cheap' options

[edgy laurel]

you wanna do what now

[warped mountain]

it was a joke about most server boards not being abel to multiplier OC, so y0u have to go old school with base clock

[topaz veldt]

Cannot imagine paying that much for an air cooler

You must be really rich @warped mountain

[topaz veldt]

I personally think they are great 🙂

[warped mountain]

they have always been $150 for like 10 years, even though update that make them more expensive to build, and the increased material costs

[green marsh]

well yes, you got a stash of them. Technically yes, i could decide to murder my X99 box and sell those 4x32GB modules 😄

[warped mountain]

i paid that for my 1950X

[green marsh]

you don't have to. it is a choice. Also US prices were always stupid

[low sorrel]

Don't you own a d15?

[young void]

We usually point to the peerless assassins and so on unless going for a specific look or at a similar $40 deal

[pure garnet]

my d15s was 120 not 180

[topaz veldt]

I have like 5

[green marsh]

i once got a D15 for 60 euros on used market 😄

[young void]

I push aio cause it includes 3 fans and if you want the airflow or rgb its cheaper with an aio vs air cooler and fans usually or about the same give or take $20

[green marsh]

Noctua NH-D15 G2 chromax.black is 159 euros in my country including 23% VAT. In US it is $190 before taxes 🤷‍♂️

[topaz veldt]

Its 179 here

[topaz veldt]

I just like that KoolCordell tries to tell me about prices

[green marsh]

i mean i wouldn't buy the Noctua coolers at retail prices. Probably maximum i paid was like 90 euros when the cooler market was kinda dry and there was no competition to D15

[pure garnet]

if i ever need a new air cooler it’ll be noctua

[steel stream]

don't even speak his name

[edgy laurel]

never owned one. a number of their fans but no cooler.

[steel stream]

You should get one

[edgy laurel]

Never

[pure garnet]

i’ve owned 4?

u12s redux, u9s, u12a, d15s

[vale cosmos]

any reason why? thermalright has some pretty great stuff that id argue are better

[steel stream]

the torrent demands the best air cooler

I've got two Noctua coolers atm

[pure garnet]

because my last 3 thermalright coolers have felt like what i’ve paid for

[topaz veldt]

Noctua sets the global benchmark for premium CPU air cooling, utilizing meticulous engineering to deliver industry-leading thermal performance combined with near-silent operation in their distinct brown and beige packages. The profound efficiency of their meticulously optimized heatsinks and fans makes a Noctua cooler a highly regarded, long-term investment for enthusiasts seeking the ultimate balance between cooling power and low noise levels.

[edgy laurel]

its so good it actually doesn't, thats the whole point. Either way I can't hear my existing one and it looks better so i'm content

[shell void]

[steel stream]

I mean chromax no

[steel stream]

5mall5nail5 - ChatGPT

[low sorrel]

i mean the black one no?

[green marsh]

I still own: 2x NH-D15, NH-U14 TR4-SP3, NH-L9i
Previously owned: NH-C14, NH-L12

[edgy laurel]

its still kinda ugly IMO

comparatively to my Assassin IV

emphasis on IMO

[steel stream]

oh you have deepcool right

[green marsh]

for thos ewho have no idea what the C14 was -

[low sorrel]

bros got the forbbiden fruit

[steel stream]

Yeah assassin IV is chill

[shell void]

assassin 4s and nh-u12a are the two best air coolers ever made IMO

[green marsh]

don't forget my 1.9kg cooler

[low sorrel]

I do not remember the last time i recommended a deepcool cooler

[steel stream]

I've got a U12S in my TrueNas box

[green marsh]

(just joking, it's stupid)

[edgy laurel]

TRUE Copper?

[green marsh]

yes, i got one for 30 euros few years ago

[edgy laurel]

the real goat

[steel stream]

LeBron?

[young void]

This is neat, copper any better then the modern steel/aluminums heatsinks? Genuinely not familiar with the two metals heat differences off the top

[edgy laurel]

they're aluminum today, at least the fins

[green marsh]

no, it is stupid. True Copper was all copper, copper is better at heat transfer, but worse at releasing heat

[young void]

Gotcha gotcha

[edgy laurel]

zalman never got the memo and look what happened

[low sorrel]

man that ram is probably the most expensive part of that

[green marsh]

but at the 30 euro price, it was worth it even as collector item

[steel stream]

those fans must be loud

[green marsh]

even got an AM5/LGA1700 mounting kit for it

[south shuttle]

you need to get a heatsink made out of silver heatpipes and silver fins

[green marsh]

why would be 9cm noctua fans be loud ? they are fine, normal sounding fans. Certainly quieter than many crappy 12cm fans

[south shuttle]

brown and tan = bad and loud

[frank zealot]

I just ordered one of these:

[south shuttle]

how much

[frank zealot]

20 bucks

[south shuttle]

that's a lot for a piece of copper plate, oh well collector's item ig

[frank zealot]

it's a solid 1oz block

but you don't buy it for the copper value

[edgy laurel]

you buy it for the conversation over why you bought it?

[frank zealot]

I mean, the whole story of Ea Nasir is hilarious

[south shuttle]

yeah... that's almost price of half oz silver

[frank zealot]

... and?

[green marsh]

this is funniest part of it

[hasty grove]

im about to build a new pc, all the black friday stuff starts on the 20th. is it worth it to wait until black friday or close to it? are there going to be that many more deals going on?

[green marsh]

and then in reviews:

[frank zealot]

will there be deals, yes. Will you be able to get any deals to make the wait / fight worth it?

Different story. You have to decide that.

You are right

[hasty grove]

ok so u dont have any experience of waiting and saw a better deal on or closer to black friday?

[steel stream]

5nail you're slacking man

[topaz veldt]

$190 lol

[steel stream]

sh sh shhh

[frank zealot]

Did you read what I said

[hasty grove]

yea u basically said its up to you, and i asked if you had any experience with it so i guess thats a no jeez

[frank zealot]

well, as an example:
There was a deal recently for a 9060 XT 8GB for 200 bucks.

It was gone in under 5 minutes. How do you feel about trying to get that?

[low sorrel]

when did they start making 6000 cl26 ram?

[topaz veldt]

while back

[frank zealot]

Will there be deals? Absolutely.

Will you be able to get those deals? IDFK

[hasty grove]

my question is, is it the nature of the holiday where more deals will happen CLOSER to actual black friday. so i guess thats a-not a noticeable amount to matter/maybe/possibly

we were too.. for stock drops...

[warped mountain]

Yeah, HEDT has gotten MUCH more expensive since, i think the do a same caliber build today would cost $12-$15k. depending on how authentic in the product stacks you stayed

[warped mountain]

yep i never got my EVGA invite to buy a 3080 🙁

Laptops seem easier in a way since its hard to go wrong with a decent IPS for work.

Math is so much fun (haven't even started engineering level math i.e differential equations and linear algebra

[warped mountain]

If all you need is AN monitor, Amazon, buy cheapest AOC.

The LG OLED seems the best reviewed but also OLED and too damn big.
39 inch one is looking like q2/q3 2026

G75F 40" is edge-lit VA trash but somehow also about the only non-oled option that has sub 8ms pixel response times

why is it only slightly cheaper then 65"

hdmi 2.2 then

[tepid garden]

Only have to wait a few more years for a card that'l support it so we can spend 4 grand on another GPU

[low sorrel]

inb4 nvidia 9090 is on dp 2.1 and hdmi 2.1

[tepid garden]

Gotta support better screens to justify their 192gb of ram and needing 3 600w power connectors

[edgy laurel]

@steel stream physical pain inducing

[wraith steeple]

What happened here?

[low sorrel]

man you need to put a spoiler over that. That shit hurt me

[edgy laurel]

Poor guy asking if it’s fixable

[wraith steeple]

[wise bear]

that is horrendous

[tepid garden]

Must be the new bendable LG

[wise bear]

I hope the delivery company reimburses

[edgy laurel]

He dropped it

[wise bear]

OOF

[low sorrel]

He dropped it

[wise bear]

holy SHIT

no sympathy

Can yall help me pls on the post I have posted in #1027757333117415424 #1440803012439445575

[low sorrel]

it's only a c3 :p

[tepid garden]

Shouldn't be this hard to find a good upgrade from an 8 year old monitor >.<

[edgy laurel]

LG C5

[wise bear]

I will never not rep this fucking tv

it's an amazing "budget" display

[edgy laurel]

You’ve got a 50” on your desk?

[wise bear]

yes

[edgy laurel]

I feel like I could handle 48”

[tepid garden]

Not looking for budget, nor anything bigger than 40
Had the g9 oled and returned it already.

[low sorrel]

the second monitor lol

[edgy laurel]

Oh see you’re doing it right with the desk away from the wall

[wise bear]

right??

[edgy laurel]

Don’t need a deep desk if you just do that

[tepid garden]

Certainly one way to cheat at desk depth

[wise bear]

I have a giant desk anyways, so

[low sorrel]

but like https://www.bestbuy.com/product/lg-48-class-b4-series-oled-4k-uhd-smart-webos-tv-2024/JJ8VPZH77S/sku/6584787/openbox?condition=good

oh it's gone now

[wise bear]

32" 1440p 75hz & a 50" 4k 120hz 4:4:4

[tepid garden]

I have a giant desk for a given definition of "desk" anyways. Good ole industrial workbenches.

[pure garnet]

i’m not surprised the 4k ultrawide lcd market is slim tbh

[wise bear]

I'd love a coule of those desks tbh

[low sorrel]

see as a professional clutz everything will drop on the back side of that table and get stuck in between the gap and be annoying to get out so i pull my desk even more back to grab it and then my monitor falls down and then i boink my head on the table trying to move it back up

never happened to me before trusst

[tepid garden]

Theyre shockingly affordable for how well built they are

[wise bear]

as an actual professional clutz I keep anything knock-overable on the hutch side while also keeping a 6" wall-desk gap for easy reaching

[low sorrel]

what is a hutch side

[wise bear]

google "desk hutch"

[low sorrel]

aren't those cabinets

[wise bear]

yes but no

[low sorrel]

see i don't have those

[tepid garden]

My previous setup prior to returning the g9. Probably would have kept it if it actually worked reliably.

[low sorrel]

see small problem with having an 64 oz waterbottle is that still doesn't work

[low sorrel]

what you have a stream deck for

[wise bear]

spotify & dcs

also sdr

[low sorrel]

get one of those panels with all the switches

[wise bear]

That'll happen whenever I build my simpit in 10 years

[low sorrel]

jesus christ this is 600 BUCKS???

[tepid garden]

jeez

[low sorrel]

IT"S JUST BUTTONS

[pure garnet]

last minute but im in for an 8h carride on friday what should i put on my deck to kill time

[wise bear]

vkb/virpil/winwing is bitchin' but like, expensive af & better, cheaper options will come along in the future

[hot pagoda]

Stream Deck isn't that expensive anymore huh kek

[low sorrel]

no the flight sim thing

[wise bear]

yeah it's a 1:1 airliner overhead panel lmao

[hot pagoda]

AH. Yeah, sim shit is always expensive

[low sorrel]

brb just gonna ask my brother for a picture of the overhead panel and make one myself

[wise bear]

I should get a landing gear segment though

[low sorrel]

it can't be that expensive

[tepid garden]

Unless you want excessive accuracy making your own button panels with a CNC plasma cutter is easy

[wise bear]

people who buy near-authentic airliner cockpit control panels strive for IRL accuracy, so a lot of those come with the actual switches that'd be in a proper cockpit

aviation parts are fucking expensive

[pure garnet]

yeah man lemme just pull my cnc plasma out of my pocket

[tepid garden]

Could even farm that place out to a local metal fab shop if ya wanted, just gotta lay it out.

[hot pagoda]

There's plenty of places that let you use their CNC cutter for a fee, you just need the file lmao

[low sorrel]

you know what that last one was a deal https://www.fsc.it/Product.aspx?lang=ENG&ID=24e44b51-ba1c-47ab-bb2a-57ad83cea454

[tepid garden]

Yea, asthetic accuracy and functional accuracy are very different for sure

[wise bear]

also, a320 boooooring

gimme kiowa

gimme a-10

[low sorrel]

hey my brother used to fly those

don't diss the a320

[low sorrel]

i loved this guy back in the day https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLd32qnrKfRX05YNToTNEhjC39S3qH6ZvC

[low sorrel]

haven't watched him in years

[steel stream]

wait is this that same Kazuma guy]

[hot pagoda]

Tbh I wouldn't know how to make the video more exciting

[warped mountain]

OLED don't burn THAT easily anymore. Like yeah they can, but how long do you like to keep a monitor? If it's less than 5 you should be fine.

[wise bear]

neither would I

[low sorrel]

assuming you bought them on sale. That's less then what i expected from you. You bought them on sale right?

[wraith steeple]

[wise bear]

...some?

The A-10C II was like $20 because I owned the og module

[fringe vigil]

Gonna have yummy fudge cake

[young void]

My s25 ultra seems to have alittle burn in, within the top right corner 🙁 can only see it with the screen off but meh

[fringe vigil]

Chocolate

[steel stream]

vanilla?

[tepid garden]

Current one is going on 9 years for reference.

[low sorrel]

are you gonna buy falcon 5.0 if it actually comes out

[wise bear]

nae

[wraith steeple]

Frankenmuth Fudge

[warped mountain]

I think wendel did a long term burn in test at Max Brightness

[steel stream]

I do not care for the Frankenmuth chicken tbh

[tepid garden]

Does seem like the upgrade cycle for ultrawides is just slow in general.

[topaz veldt]

The best cure for burn in is a wood screw

[warped mountain]

I can't find it, YT search sucks. It was a set piece with a static image for a year + lg TV. All OLED safety off.

Is apple worth 2x android? Same screen/useability.

[tepid garden]

twice as much? probably not. but also probably not same usability. midrange android seems to still ship with relatively crap chips anymore

I haven't had it since 2009?...

[steel stream]

keep it that way

it was mediocre at best a few years ago

[fringe vigil]

hi

[dawn plover]

Hardware Unboxed has been long term burning in an OLED on purpose, and it's not even that bad at all

[wraith steeple]

Yeah we mostly go for the Fudge and German Town anyways

[whole lake]

which of these are actually useful?
and which of these should I disable?

i'm using 11 Pro (activated)

[pure garnet]

if you have no clue what that list means don't mess with it

[whole lake]

uhh but i wanna know if there are any useful features and disable only those that are unwanted or not rlly needed

[pure garnet]

everything on that list is useful but we can't tell you what you do and don't need

[odd sable]

enable features when you have a need for them, in which case you will be directed to that

[pure garnet]

it's best to not mess with things

[whole lake]

alright

i guess i would enable only the legacy component, hyper-V and sandbox thingy

[topaz veldt]

What the literal hell Lian Li

[tepid garden]

forgot about that case until now

[low sorrel]

ok but it's pretty cool

[topaz veldt]

no

[whole lake]

yes

[wraith steeple]

Fans attached to the glass is.... An interesting design choice

[tepid garden]

I swear whenever lian li makes a good case its by pure accident

[topaz veldt]

huh?

[low sorrel]

i mean theres airflow

[wraith steeple]

I'm aware

[tepid garden]

If airflow was all that mattered to people everyone would have just stopped making new cases after the torrent

[low sorrel]

i see no problems with this as long as we ignore all the problems with the case

[topaz veldt]

iykyk

[low sorrel]

why didn't they just make a fishtank

[pure garnet]

a fishtank requires you to own cool enough hardware to flex it

90% of rgb buyers have the msi armor 3060 or whatever it's called

[tepid garden]

Always interesting to see what CES concept cases make it to market and which don't. S1 definetly didn't. Also pretty damn fishtanky

[topaz veldt]

Nothing better than a fishtank build with mid parts

[tepid garden]

mid parts and the worst fan orientation choices possible for airflow

[low sorrel]

the what

[pure garnet]

it's the ventus for the new cards but i was referencing this piece of junk

[low sorrel]

DON'T DISS THE VENTUS

I HAVE A VENTUS 3060

[tepid garden]

lol, wasn't that the same cooler they tried to put on higher spec cards that basically immediately thermal throttled?

[pure garnet]

point proven

[fringe vigil]

taking tech 1 for suckers lol look

[low sorrel]

hey i don't buy rgb

[topaz veldt]

its not hard to do the fans correct in a fish tank

[pure garnet]

shout the random rgb psu corsair made that was better than the other cx models

[dawn plover]

I have a Mech 2X 6600XT, which is the exact same cooler but rebranded lol

[low sorrel]

i also have a tuf 3060 but besides the point

[pure garnet]

why do you own 2 3060s

[low sorrel]

2 pcs

[pure garnet]

my 2nd pc has a 4070

[young void]

https://tenor.com/view/classified-nonya-none-of-your-gif-13605519

[dawn plover]

is one of them noticeably better or nah

[low sorrel]

quieter

the tuf ocs better as well

[pure garnet]

the trio looks like vertical so i lucked out

[slim pebble]

It doesn’t look bad. Ignore 5nail5, he doesn’t like dragons.

[topaz veldt]

Not only do I not like dragons but I also don't like hideous GPUs

[low sorrel]

also anyone have a problem that specifically when running a game in borderless windowed

[fringe vigil]

im excited for the asus rog strix 6090 multi-coloured

[low sorrel]

if i alt tab the web browser lags super hard

[wraith steeple]

That's box Screams Windows 98 and I love it

[pure garnet]

i bought michaels scraps but at least it's a decent cooler

[young void]

Its not so bad stays cooler then the zotac solid oc butt thats not exactly a high bar (also yess i added a front sag bracket just in case not shown in the image)

[shell void]

somehow one of the best 5070ti coolers which doesn’t make a lot of sense

[low sorrel]

chonker gpu

[pure garnet]

yeah it's interesting

[young void]

Zotac is also alittle smaller lols

[topaz veldt]

I almost bought a 5080 SFF for this Terra build

[whole lake]

tiny baby ahh

[pure garnet]

are you putting a master ice in the terra

[warped mountain]

High end vs high end, apple cheats with a desktop chip. But no need for that much performance for my uses. Only 20% "slower" but not actually. Just apple has excessive power for upcoming AI vision.

[warped mountain]

They are to look pretty, art has no function

[topaz veldt]

Doesn't fit. I am moving teh whole setup to this. 265K, Z890i Nova, 48GB 8000, SN8100 4TB, 5090 Master Ice, SF1000

[pure garnet]

oh that's a nice looking case

[topaz veldt]

yeah it looks sweet

[steel stream]

it NEEDS a chromax G2

when is the case estimated to arrive?

[topaz veldt]

Good question

🤷‍♂️

[young void]

Still in China probs a week or so

[tepid garden]

Probably not the greatest GPU temps but it should be decent enough

[pure garnet]

i don’t think he cares on the 7th card

[topaz veldt]

Its actually pretty decent

[young void]

Im just jealous snails snagged some fe if im being honest

[topaz veldt]

I ain't got no FE

[fringe vigil]

fe premium

[young void]

This not your pic?

[topaz veldt]

no

[young void]

Ahhh I see i see, no longer jealous lol but his sheds pretty neat

[tepid garden]

Got stuck with gigabyte this time around, kinda had to take what I could get at the time. Damn 5090 rat race

[steel stream]

that case needs one of the apple studio monitors to go with it

[topaz veldt]

Gigabyte has the best 5090s

[sleek rover]

I had a 3080 Ti gaming oc from gigabyte before and now I have a 5080 gaming oc. Both is great.

[odd bison]

does anyone even pay for apple studio when you can get good pc for 2000$

[steel stream]

different tools have different use cases

[tepid garden]

Honestly don't have any complaints with what I ended up with other than how much over MSRP it was.

[low sorrel]

really? it comes into stock very often

[topaz veldt]

Yeah no desire for FE

[topaz veldt]

which model

[odd bison]

but does not mean u will always use worst option cuz its
"apple"

[low sorrel]

when bulid sff 5090 bulid

[tepid garden]

Last few here were an MSI 1080ti, 3090 FE and now Giga 5090 Gaming OC

[sleek rover]

I returned two palit 5080s. Theyre trash

[steel stream]

they've got some cool stuff. I was also just referring to the monitors

[young void]

Just not up to clock or temps ek?

[topaz veldt]

I am doing an SFF with 5090 Master Ice

[odd bison]

why not get lg or asus oled

[grizzled lily]

best 5080 brand for under 1200

[steel stream]

I already have an LG OLED, I just think the Apple Pro Display looks awesome and it's a cool piece of tech

[odd bison]

5080 is decent beats 70% of gpu users

[tepid garden]

laughs in fractal torrent

[odd bison]

"overpriced"

[topaz veldt]

a 5080 - 5090 is not 42C in a Torrent

[sleek rover]

Gaming OC is huge and nice.

[low sorrel]

eh

[steel stream]

I mean sure, doesn't stop me from thinking it's cool

[low sorrel]

still cool

[tepid garden]

Yea, definetly a big size increase from a 3090FE, not much heavier though

[odd bison]

no

[steel stream]

Jerry gets it

[low sorrel]

overpriced =/= not cool

[steel stream]

Same reason I want to grab a 2019 Mac Pro chassis and put my PC in it, it would look fucking sick

[tepid garden]

Not a chance, stays about 53 under load on my personal torrent rig.

[topaz veldt]

lol no

[tepid garden]

Undervolt with a slight OC

[topaz veldt]

maybe at like 250W

[odd bison]

its looks like fucking cheese crusher

[topaz veldt]

Go fire up Furmark

[steel stream]

And I think it looks cool 🤷

[tepid garden]

Runs around 390W in most workloads as tuned.

[odd bison]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-lobotomy-puss-in-boots-gif-27604384

[topaz veldt]

So you're going to come a detuned GPU to 600W load

[warped mountain]

Novec 7100 is the way.

[topaz veldt]

Also... your Fractal Torrent is like a foot larger than this, and the one I ambuilding in on the left is.... SFF

[steel stream]

https://tenor.com/view/the-dude-yeah-well-you-know-thats-just-like-your-opinion-man-gif-10470601

[topaz veldt]

I'll take the 65-66C 5090 temp in SFF

[pure garnet]

doesn't gn do like degrees over ambient or something

[warped mountain]

Immersion cooling needs to make a comeback.

[tepid garden]

Beating the stock perf of the card by 11% while doing it, shrug
Voltage curves on 5090 are whack

[pure garnet]

i know he hates my case but my stuff cools fine so idrc

Delta T (∆T)

[topaz veldt]

What is your Port Royal score

[odd sable]

im pretty sure there are 3rd party cases for that

[violet pike]

whatever happened to that server rack the channel covered at some expo several years ago? I forget the name of the company

[steel stream]

Oh god my GPU is still boosting and performing fine but slightly warm oh noooooo

[steel stream]

I thought they all got canceled/ were scams

[topaz veldt]

Right? Also a 5090 @ 390W is called a 5080

[pure garnet]

if my card isn't doing 45c furmark i should throw it away

[odd sable]

mcpure seems real?

[steel stream]

yeah tell that to the 750mm^2 die

[sleek rover]

I undervolt and cap my 5080 to 250w. I dont care if I lose 3fps

[tepid garden]

Good question tbh. Did my tuning on Steel Nomad.

[odd bison]

does using gpu like 5090 gave Large amount of electricity bill.?

[pure garnet]

yeah but when half of that is tied up in memory

[topaz veldt]

Whats your Steel Nomad score?

[steel stream]

same price as a normal mac pro, part of the fun for me tbh would be modding it

but I will agree it seems like a good alternative

[odd sable]

the 2019 pros go for $1000 now?

[steel stream]

yeah about

[odd sable]

well then, i guess skylake xeons really are just that shit

[tepid garden]

This is where I ended up for daily driver settings, 375-390W depending on workload. Best while tuning was a 15029.

[steel stream]

I found a fex boxes with no SSD no RAM just cpu for like 5-600

[topaz veldt]

slow

[shell void]

10 year old core architecture with low clocks so yeh pretty wimpy today

[odd sable]

dont forget about them being flamethrowers

i had one skylake xeon server, never again

[pure garnet]

i still want a 7980xe to melt the socket with

but it's overpriced ewaste now

[steel stream]

https://www.ebay.com/itm/157457281542 these are the cheapest I found, but the fucker threw them against a wall or smth

[odd sable]

i mean, in that case you are doing it on purpose

[topaz veldt]

@tepid garden there is zero chance your GPU is running the same as this

[pure garnet]

like

[tepid garden]

Given your pulling 600w, no kidding.

[shell void]

i swear those were $140 like two years ago

[odd sable]

not bad, but personally, the dark grey one

[pure garnet]

bathtub curve of waste collectors

[topaz veldt]

I have 3, soon to be 4 Gigabyte 5090s, they don't run 53C under load. Wish it were true but its not.

[steel stream]

yeah that's pretty sweet

[tepid garden]

Drop 225 watts off them and they come down a LOT in temp.

[slim pebble]

My son’s doesn’t, it’s closer to 60C

[topaz veldt]

But why would I buy a 5090 to drop performance

Go play BF6 and watch your GPU temps

[topaz veldt]

Yeah I shared the benchmark a guy did on the NCase M3 Grater and his GPU runs like 64-66C which is pretty much identical to any aircooled case

[slim pebble]

How do the gigabytes compare to your TUF?

[steel stream]

https://www.parthaven.com/products/empty-case-outer-shell-apple-mac-pro-7-1-a1991-2019?contact_posted=true#notify_me oh hopefully this comes back in stock soon

[topaz veldt]

Way better boost curve and cooler stock

[tepid garden]

OG cheese grater

[slim pebble]

Your TUF was some 60th in the world for a week or so 😆

[sleek rover]

You can undervolt and lower the wattage and still keep the performance.

[topaz veldt]

I have not actually leaned on anything benchmark wise - now that it's winter though...

[topaz veldt]

Except I smoked dudes Steel Nomad score by 2000 points

[steel stream]

the best

[tepid garden]

Now your just being bad at math on purpose.

[topaz veldt]

OK 1500 points?

[sleek rover]

Nice. I dont need to say moore.

[tepid garden]

16032-14981 = 1051

[topaz veldt]

Significant amount of points in Steel Nomad

[tepid garden]

Not nothing, but using more than 60% more power. I imagine I can post a significantly better score now that its not summer, screenshot is quite old as you can probably tell.

[fringe vigil]

[topaz veldt]

I don't buy that your 5090 ran 14981 with me running 60% more power

Like I said, I have 4 of these. I have undervolted, waterblocked, etc. Sure you can power limit but you give up a bunch of performance. 14900 vs 16000 is significant in SN

[low sorrel]

skylake isn't 10 years old is it?

[topaz veldt]

You should run Port Royal and see

[wise bear]

yes lol

[topaz veldt]

Oh apparently my best run is 16147

[tepid garden]

sounds about right

[low sorrel]

side note, I have learned that normal people don't have a problem where around once a month at night everything seems to be tiny and really far away where a phone 10 inches away looks like 10 feet away

[tepid garden]

That does not sound normal, no

[steel stream]

nop not normal

[topaz veldt]

mmm

[low sorrel]

it's really weird

the best way i've heard it described is that

it could just be disorientation in the dark

afaik there is only one christmas song about palm trees, so I think it speaks for itself

[topaz veldt]

I cannot do xmas in the hot

[steel stream]

would owning that make me a lord cause I totally would

[topaz veldt]

its probably the only thing keeping me from moving

[steel stream]

christmas just needs snow

[warped mountain]

Just set up a mister with DI water to keep the GPU cool. /s

[low sorrel]

man last year it didn't snow for christmas

but it snowed in march or some shit

[steel stream]

we got snow like last week somehow

[warped mountain]

i used to put my PC on my window sill with the window open to cool it. keep the side panel off

[pure garnet]

yeah it was like 80 today it sucks

[violet pike]

if I were filthy rich I would buy one and use it in place of an at-home server rack like linus's. I absolutely hate superfluous noise

[warped mountain]

-20F cools a 1950X reall well!

FINALLY below 90! idk if it will stay cool though

[tepid garden]

Got a nice 52 and cloudy here atm

[shell void]

man it was 25F when i woke up this morning

[warped mountain]

-40F was nice too for GPU boost gained 300Mhz!

[frank zealot]

It's not that expensive to do something like that

[steel stream]

it's currently 39F here

[warped mountain]

had to be caseful, teh windows didnt get much weather in it because of the eve, but it woudl mist from time to time.

[violet pike]

I imagine it's more expensive than even routing your cooling loop underneath your pool. upfront, at least

[warped mountain]

we didnt run the heat upstars due to so many PC's lol

[proven saddle]

this price in munich is a Cardboard and a Rolex

[frank zealot]

Linus uses a full rack because he's got... 10+ PCs in that stupid rack?

6 LAN PCs
Theater PC
2 Office PCs for him and Yvonne
Storage Server

I forget what else he has

not counting battery backups, switches, etc.

Is his Home Assistant its own server? I forget

[topaz veldt]

hopefully a vm

[warped mountain]

im really stuck on this ipad pro vs s11 thing.
i WANT the iPad so i can have that "apple experience" with the macbook, i just dont think i can justify the price. the ultra S11 is closer in price, but is HUGE. 14.6 diagonal is too big frankly.

[fringe vigil]

Cordell loves his M4 mb

[frank zealot]

I would assume, but I just don't keep track to know what the host would be

[warped mountain]

*m4 Pro

[steel stream]

dude your in the LTT discord. You must know the specs and exact usecase of every linus pc

[frank zealot]

the LAN PCs are bullshit annoying 1U boxes with 3080's lol

[topaz veldt]

look at these cute little window candle jawns - but now I realize I need to finish the windows inside, the 2x4 color is ugly. My wife wants to put a wreath on above the double doors, too.

[warped mountain]

u get your GPU back?

[fringe vigil]

Yes it works perfecttttt

[warped mountain]

the cables came in fast

[frank zealot]

I only remember that because they just had a slave labor video where the staff tore down and cleaned all of them

[fringe vigil]

No I bought my own cable mod but nvidia are sending me there’s on Friday

[steel stream]

oh did they?

[frank zealot]

https://youtu.be/fFtk9gJLnfk?si=ThnCIn7iRNOkTkWb

[steel stream]

gotta get content somehow

[topaz veldt]

that whole setup is a nightmare

[frank zealot]

he gets points for the meme-value

[fringe vigil]

Linus is just clowning now

[frank zealot]

but it's not a sane setup in any way

[fringe vigil]

Does he even produce meaningful pc content

[frank zealot]

I mean, say whatever you want about linus' content. Over 1.5 Million people watched the video about cleaning out the pool-cooled PCs

so clearly that resonates

[violet pike]

I imagine it's educational to a very niche audience

[frank zealot]

(mostly for the lulz, cuz nobody else is dumb enough to replicate that setup)

[warped mountain]

its entertainment with a tiny bit of education

[topaz veldt]

I don't think it resonates... i think its just entertainment

[warped mountain]

AFAP was teh education channel

[frank zealot]

entertainment has to resonate, too. If it doesn't vibe with people, they ain't gonna watch

[topaz veldt]

ehhhh people will watch a lot of bullshit

it doesn't mean they're into it

[steel stream]

i just need something to watch when I eat

[warped mountain]

you click because of teh thimbnail, that justifies teh price they charge the sponserrs. its relly not much more than that.

all that matters is teh click

[frank zealot]

that's not how that works, but okay

[warped mountain]

they way they justify the 80k per video price to sponsors?

[violet pike]

knowing nothing about plumbing or cooling loops, if I had all of the funny money and wanted to replicate a setup like that, I'd get that immersion server rack and then have whatever unit cools the liquid kick out the heat into the pool so there's very little noise if any and the cooling liquid and the immersion liquid stay completely separate

[topaz veldt]

immersion doesn't really do anything for you

[warped mountain]

maybe it was 60K for 30 seconds? but that was based on the 10m subscriber time. it was in that leak from the buisness team

[topaz veldt]

and the coolant is separate of the pool

but dark + wet = mold

[frank zealot]

Do you realize how much that would cost to build?
That'd make Linus' rack / pool setup look cheap

[violet pike]

call bill gates up to see if he can test pilot it

[topaz veldt]

immersion cooling hasn't caught on because its a maintenance disaster

[frank zealot]

and the fluid costs an arm and two testicles

[young void]

Ehhhhwwww

[frank zealot]

you could build another (more than one) PC for the cost of the fluid to put them all in

[odd sable]

only two?

[low sorrel]

fuck you MBS

[frank zealot]

Most people run out at that point

[low sorrel]

let me use firefox :(

[frank zealot]

for reference: 3M Novec Fluid runs 400-600$ per gallon of fluid.

And you'd use multiple gallons on a single PC for immersion cooling.

So, I hope you're ready to pay 2K+ to submerge your PC

[tepid garden]

Just spoof your user agent and it'l probably work

[odd sable]

ok, and? just gotta H̶̉͂͒̕ ̶̂̍͑͝A̵͆͌̎͠ ̵̛̇͋͝R̷̰̋̚ ̸̈́̎͘͠V̶̝̥̚͜ ̸̾̾́̉Ë̵̈́̓̉ ̴̠͙̦̄S̵̏͒͂ T

[odd sable]

and dont forget about the cancer

[karmic folio]

close ur tabs man

[low sorrel]

see but it gives me an excuse to use multiviewer

[frank zealot]

it's safe... ish

[tepid garden]

Open more tabs

[low sorrel]

no

[odd sable]

oh thats not that many tabs

[warped mountain]

its not THAT $$ :p get a small case

[low sorrel]

theres more

i have to scroll to see all of them

[odd sable]

thats still not that many tabs

[karmic folio]

Ok

[odd sable]

ive had well over 1k tabs open

[low sorrel]

jesus

[odd sable]

on two browsers, at the same time

[karmic folio]

for what reason

theres no way u used more than 20 of those

[tepid garden]

shrug Cheap out: https://www.amazon.com/x/dp/B0FJYNVR3R
Or wait for Q2 2026 >.<

[odd sable]

docs, mostly

[odd sable]

i did, they were grouped, and i would search for the already open tab

[karmic folio]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-reading-book-gif-3108297423409080751

[spiral quarry]

Yea that's my friend lol, he just doesn't close tabs in general. I'm getting to that point now

[low sorrel]

nope

doesn't work

[karmic folio]

anything more than like 7 tabs just starts to annoy me cause i keep forgetting why i opened them in the first place

[tepid garden]

rip

[odd sable]

in my case, its usually the Vulkan spec

[tepid garden]

cancel sub in protest

[low sorrel]

oh hell nah i need my f1

[odd sable]

open this, theres a reason i leave the tabs open
https://registry.khronos.org/vulkan/specs/latest/html/vkspec.html

[frank zealot]

This is what you'd need to get to immersion cool one PC Typically:

[low sorrel]

ill just install multiviewer

[frank zealot]

So you could legitimately build an upper-mid-range PC for the cost of NOVEC Fluid to immersion cool your PC.

[odd sable]

this is a really fun read too, 11/10 would recommend

very understandable

[frank zealot]

(Nevermind the costs you'd be dealing with to build an open loop of water to keep that fluid cool)

[low sorrel]

oh wtf chrome UA doesn't work but google bot does

[warped mountain]

that really not that bad vs full custom loop with premium fittings? thats $1.2k IIRC

[violet pike]

rewatching the LTT vid on the immersion rack (company was called hypertec) and it seems like they were at least trying to address all the issues with 3M liquids and mineral oil

[warped mountain]

though you need a radiator and pump to cool teh fluid

[hoary hatch]

How do I pirate this

[steel stream]

I was hoping you or Guilty would know

[violet pike]

the video in question: https://youtu.be/2Q0bLo5nSsU

[frank zealot]

1.2 grand for a custom loop?

5nail doesn't even spend that much on an overkill loop

@topaz veldt

[steel stream]

https://www.flickr.com/photos/skywalter/albums/72157631164392030/with/16198980836 damn this guy makes some cool shit

[frank zealot]

like if you had a loop with 4 Rads, 2 GPUs, 2 Pumps, and a CPU Block, and all stupid premium fittings?

maybe you could hit 1.2K

[slim pebble]

Not even if you use all EK parts. D5 pump, fittings, and a pair of blocks.

A pair of Hwlabs rads

[frank zealot]

tack on a quasi-custom distro plate

[slim pebble]

Add a flow meter and temp sensor, still not there

[frank zealot]

but yeah to break 1K USD on an open loop? you have to try to break that 1 grand mark.

Most loops are more like 400-600 bucks

[grizzled lily]

is the newegg sale gonna have any 5080 anymore?

[frank zealot]

oh hey, the spammer's back lol

[frank zealot]

I miss seeing Emily on the channel

[warped mountain]

opps ya i was a little high on price.

[low sorrel]

i think this might end up beign a bit distracting

[frank zealot]

yeah and that's even trying to blow money on it.

That's way more than most loops cost.

[warped mountain]

i know the prices have come down, and i chose a case that cant do dual 480's.

[odd bison]

discords says u a scammer?

[warped mountain]

*spammer

[warped mountain]

this is perfect, tho i prefer work/ game down low and entertainment up top

[low sorrel]

yeah but this on a 13" laptop lol

[warped mountain]

not external display??

yoo get an ipad and use as an external screen

[low sorrel]

im not buying an ipad just to use it as an external screen

[warped mountain]

you can do it with samsung too

[low sorrel]

thats not the point

i could just... buy an external display instead

[warped mountain]

ohh i though you needed OTG? good externals are what $400-ish, tablet with similar scrreen brightness shoudl be about that too?

is phone arena a trusted source?

[low sorrel]

peak

my laptop doesn't like all of these streams open

how much mobile data am i using

6gb of data already

[topaz veldt]

You should get a new ecosystem for $8500

[low sorrel]

sure if you give me 8500

[topaz veldt]

Oh I def spend over $1k on loop

[warped mountain]

Not bad

[steel stream]

https://youtu.be/xQjeGxWyaUY

[low sorrel]

oh no thats just from today

[warped mountain]

Love the nerdy Canadian

[low sorrel]

im at like 70gb this month

[topaz veldt]

ew

[low sorrel]

is that not just everclear

[steel stream]

you don't a glass of beer that is equivalent to 20?

[topaz veldt]

naw man

[steel stream]

it's legally classified as a liquor, but it tastes like bear

[warped mountain]

Yeah my big day was 28GB 💀

[odd sable]

if its 100% alcohol, its going to taste like alcohol

[edgy laurel]

i thought about linking that yesterday

[odd sable]

if it tastes like anything else, its not 100% alcohol

[steel stream]

man how do I not know how to spell beer

[steel stream]

yeah he got it to about 80% in the end

[odd sable]

in that case, yea, the other 20% can be beer taste

[steel stream]

gotta start selling it to college kids

[warped mountain]

I do need to call T-MOBILE and tell them to delete the "heavy user flag" from my account again. They keep de priority me on towers. My plan explicitly is excluded from being de prioritized.

[low sorrel]

how much of that would you need to give a baby for it to die from alcohol poisoning?

[frank zealot]

You can't actually make 100% alcohol, it gets very cranky to exist at 1 atmo.

It's why Everclear is only 95% at the top end

[steel stream]

one sip probably, also weird question

[odd sable]

i was ignoring that part

[edgy laurel]

I'm currently out of my beer phase but I feel it may be starting up again. On a whim i ordered one while out for my birthday a few weeks back. Local brewery called Levante brewing.

[low sorrel]

don't question why i think about these things

[topaz veldt]

Almost $1199 on the dot for custom loop https://pcpartpicker.com/list/X2ZgVF

[topaz veldt]

Love levante

Tickle parts and Cloudy and Cumbersome

[edgy laurel]

I think it was Cloudy and Cumbersome. It was VERY good

[topaz veldt]

Yeah that one is solid - try Tickle Parts some time

I kind of wore out hazy IPAs during covid tho

[edgy laurel]

aww man, i haven't had beer in a while and now i'm craving one

[steel stream]

are these real beer names

[edgy laurel]

the Cloudy was very citrus forward and not bitter at all. was super into it

[topaz veldt]

yes

[topaz veldt]

So a lot of their beers have lactose in them

[frank zealot]

https://bitesizebio.com/13518/which-type-of-ethanol-should-i-use/
Anything over 95% Ethanol gets.... weird and you can't drink it.

[edgy laurel]

huh, what does that do? for beer, i mean

[steel stream]

I want to meet whoever named it tickle parts

[topaz veldt]

its the sugar in their hazies

[steel stream]

i have questions

[topaz veldt]

Its super good

[edgy laurel]

Anticipate chunks of pineapple and tender clementine juices on the palette, while your nostrils are gently tickled with the aroma of thawing sorbet and other fruit juices.

My mouth is watering

[topaz veldt]

That one is my fav of theirs, but its heavy

They used to have double IPAs and quads - way too much

[edgy laurel]

the last time I got "into" beer it was all Belgian heavies

[topaz veldt]

Belgians are dangerous

[edgy laurel]

syrupy thick stuff where it was one and done lol

[topaz veldt]

Like golden monkey

The prob is... you have one and you're relaxed... and you're like "2 is fine"

[edgy laurel]

thats the entry point, those will f you up

[topaz veldt]

and then its a disaster from there on
