Bro is the brightest star in the galaxy

Like sticks or in windows etc?

[grizzled lily]

hello guys I have my 990 pro in my laptop how can i get windows 11 installed on it, its completly new with updated firmware

[indigo walrus]

https://www.howtogeek.com/874846/how-to-do-a-clean-install-of-windows-11/#:~:text=Option 1%3A Clean Install Windows 11 From a USB Drive

[fringe vigil]

What’s ur laptop

[grizzled lily]

legion 7 fast

[grizzled lily]

i made a 10 gb partition

[indigo walrus]

No need to make any partitions. The Windows 7/8/10/11 installer does this for you.

[grizzled lily]

any other option if i have win 10 on laptop and the ssd is pluged in and without usb?

[indigo walrus]

If the SSD already has Windows 10, you can just run the Windows Upgrade Assistant. If it's a different SSD running Windows, you'll need a USB drive.

[grizzled lily]

no a new empty ssd

[grizzled lily]

fuk my usb gonna take forever🥲

[low sorrel]

I find it funny how this guy is still flagged by discord as a spammer lol

[vestal granite]

who is it

[low sorrel]

synth

[grizzled lily]

i got hacked and stole my session and sent spam messages to all servers and dm

[grizzled lily]

but i got acct back and im permantly a spammer

[oak vector]

[grizzled lily]

quite unique to be honest😂😂

[merry stirrup]

i new discord account would solve this, nah?

[low sorrel]

^

[grizzled lily]

yea but this is goated

[oak vector]

Yeah it probably will
Unless discord does ip tomfoolery and connects the two but I doubt it

[merry stirrup]

not for this typa account issue i dont think its IP based

[brisk jolt]

every message you send, I see from my PC “message hidden from likely spammer” Lmao

[oak vector]

Yeh

[merry stirrup]

bans are but i dont think stuff like this would be

hurray ive utilised some space

[grizzled lily]

i need level 5 tech support i want win 11 ready to go on ssd 990 pro without usb, the ssd is plug in my laptop, any help?

[oak vector]

You need more storage now

[merry stirrup]

i have another 4tb drive to put in whenever

rn its 2x4tb in raid 1

[grizzled lily]

https://tenor.com/view/poor-poorfriends-btc-bitcoin-crypto-gif-21994271

[merry stirrup]

~~except it wouldnt fit hence why its not currently installed 💀 ~~

[merry stirrup]

if i add you as friend does it go away

this shit so annoying i dont want to reveal all yo messages

[grizzled lily]

no i tried

[merry stirrup]

well shit

im so happy my server is modern now you guys have no idea

broadwell was quite slow compared to this

my minecraft servers dont explode anymore hurray

[grizzled lily]

wait what if i leave server and comeback

[merry stirrup]

inb4 not allowed to join back

[merry stirrup]

lets me do cool stuff

i setup jellyfin in its own debian server vm today

and i was able to get hw accel working

still tied whetehr i should use uhd 630 or the p620

[grizzled lily]

finnneee ill do the usb method, ok now how to get free win 11 pro lic3nse

[merry stirrup]

worry about that after install

my server idles at 40w with the hdds installed

"idle" being w/my services goin

[young void]

I yield no servers but one day

[merry stirrup]

a server is just an extra computa worm

[young void]

[merry stirrup]

mine may be a "workstation" but its a mostly normal HP computer lol

the precsion T5810 however is more "servery"

[young void]

I always imagine like a rack xD but if it connects same same

[merry stirrup]

lol nah i have one machinie just doin my tasks

[young void]

I need to make something eventually dedicated for me to destroy

[merry stirrup]

tiny box but its compact and great for my tasks

fits a whole 2 HDDS and 2 nvme ssds

so for me thats pretty good

[young void]

Thats quite a bit all things considered i got a handful of 4tbs

[edgy laurel]

just plastic but Z series stuff looks sharp

[merry stirrup]

oh yeah it honestly looks good

[merry stirrup]

this is whats in mine

2x4TB and soon 2x512GB nvme ssds also probably in parity

(just stuff i have lying around)

[wraith steeple]

[edgy laurel]

Since when did HP start offering gaming desktops with a semblance of airflow

[merry stirrup]

google says to use the P620 for transcoding in jellyfin over the UHD 630 so i'll do that

[merry stirrup]

wish me luck this shit is so annoying

[young void]

This actually looks decent

Inspects

[grizzled lily]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/vvFwNz

[edgy laurel]

even the base model lol

[young void]

Proper airflow, heatsinked vrms, kinda snazzy, myte have to go play with an hp build sometime

[merry stirrup]

it computers guys

[young void]

You got thisss

[edgy laurel]

baby glass

[oak vector]

actually looks kinda nice...

[young void]

If the bios isnt disgusting and they have a semi decent power supply ya know

In today's age (all bios ui should look decent)

[edgy laurel]

the big OEM's don't typically use shitty PSU

[young void]

Can make one in like a week (not all the functions but outlined)

[wraith steeple]

I like two extremes of PCs

[wraith steeple]

Fancy over the top loops and ones so out of date that a fridge and smart tv can easily overpower them by multiple amounts

[young void]

Just think it's neat

[south shuttle]

they realized reputation means something (maybe)

[brisk jolt]

Careful, they might’ve added glass behind the fans

[turbid locust]

Didn’t even bother taking the “this is what it’s labeled in AD as” sticker from work huh lmao

[topaz veldt]

I have to say I'm confused by the GPU choice vs the CPU choice

[wraith steeple]

I would love to get a hold of an FM Towns and PC 9821 someday

[turbid locust]

I try not to think about it anymore

[grizzled lily]

i will probably upgrade maybe 4-5 year in future and wanted the budget to stay around 2k, let me know if I should get 5080 that is at msrp now

[turbid locust]

you definitely just “downgrade” to a 9800X3D and buy a 5080.

[topaz veldt]

Yeah don't get a 9950X3D

Especially with that GPU

9800X3D and a 5080 is way more appropriate

[grizzled lily]

bruh iam not missing a good bundle with 574 for 9950 and 275 for x870e board, or should I?

[turbid locust]

The real question is what display will this machine be connected to

[grizzled lily]

1080p😂😂 but will add a monitor later 4k or 1440

[turbid locust]

stop it.

[topaz veldt]

This build is tough

[grizzled lily]

am i cooked?

[turbid locust]

You know that makes me physically ill right?

[grizzled lily]

why😂😂

[topaz veldt]

9950X3D.... 9070 XT... And 1080p?

[grizzled lily]

it make me excited

[wraith steeple]

[turbid locust]

tbh this combo is fine I guess but

[topaz veldt]

It's like buying a Ferrari, putting on snow tires, and only filling it with 87 octane

[grizzled lily]

i can open my pockets for 5080 let me know, but that 13 % performance seems like a downgrade

[turbid locust]

Definitely isn’t a downgrade unless you’re getting a stupid good deal on the 9070XT

[wraith steeple]

https://tenor.com/view/disappointment-disappointed-food-review-meme-gif-16003613

[turbid locust]

But being completely honest I’d rather see you get an actual good display

[grizzled lily]

ok fine ill go balls to the wall with pny 5080 oc edition 🥶🥶😈

[topaz veldt]

Yeah

The 1080p display is not good

[turbid locust]

we’re in OLED tax bracket with this build and we’re on 1080p

[grizzled lily]

yea i want a oled later so I wanna save on a gpu

[brisk jolt]

X870E mobo btw

[topaz veldt]

Yea...

[turbid locust]

Idk the prices they listed it’s kinda worth

[topaz veldt]

Yeah

[turbid locust]

$579 for 9950X3D is nice

[grizzled lily]

just give me the command

[brisk jolt]

also a single TB of storage

[topaz veldt]

I'm too tired

[brisk jolt]

Go to sleep

Have some rest

[grizzled lily]

1 tb 990 pro and sk hynix 2 tb

[topaz veldt]

But a 1080p display is kind of sad on anything like this

[brisk jolt]

Oh… I thought the SK hynix was some phone wallpaper ngl

[grizzled lily]

no

[brisk jolt]

I thought it was a phone

[grizzled lily]

yes or no 5080 and nit monitor or monitor but no 5080😂

[wraith steeple]

[devout ridge]

love you discord

[turbid locust]

The problem is you’re gonna want DLSS over FSR if you go 4K lol

[grizzled lily]

im in mental agony right now

[devout ridge]

I wonder what discord's criteria is for that tag

I also have no idea how one would even go about disabling it

[wraith steeple]

I get days where IDEK where I'm at

[devout ridge]

anyone know what ipmi software jake is using here?

@topaz veldt what server do you use for your 3.5in drives?

[topaz veldt]

Used to use supermicro sc847

What if Activision sabotaged BO7 because Microsoft bought them

[grizzled lily]

any monitor recommed 1440

[grizzled lily]

could be or creative talent has been fired

200 to 300 monitor?

[merry stirrup]

im starting to get the weird artifacting issues

is this perhaps a sign that my card is melting away

or did drivers just finally get me

[frank zealot]

The only reasons to get a 1080p monitor in 2025:

1. you're thrifting super cheap screens
2. you're buying a 500hz+ stupid esports display
3. you have no idea what you're doing

[devout ridge]

4. i need a dirt cheap monitor for my rack that is rather small

[shell void]

portable 1440p monitors are pennies

[frank zealot]

That's such a niche that it doesn't really register

[slim pebble]

Even if you need a stupid esports display, you should get a dual mode one. ASUS has the 165HZ 4K and 400+hz 1080P

[edgy laurel]

not for $200-$300

[slim pebble]

Yeah more like 400 or so?

[shell void]

iirc kyoko paid $350 for 27” 4k160 with 2k320 dualmode

you can get 1440p 320Hz for <$250

[oak vector]

It’s okay synth you’re my favourite scammer

[slim pebble]

Love the ASUS monitors, looking at their 32 OLEDs on sale now

[shell void]

XG32UCWMG if you want 32” oled

[slim pebble]

Thinking about it

Not a good one? ^^

[shell void]

that is a good monitor

i like the XG32UCWMG more because it’s a glossy W-OLED panel which rejects ambient light better

if you’re a dark or dim room gamer then QD-OLED is amazing

[slim pebble]

So it’s worth changing over one of my 32 inch IPS? 😀

[grizzled lily]

https://www.microcenter.com/product/697266/acer-predator-x27u-x2bmiiprx-27-2k-qhd-(2560-x-1440)-240hz-gaming-qd-oled-monitor

[oak vector]

Gigglebyte IPS my beloved

[shell void]

easily yeah it’s a night and day improvement, but you should note that qd-oled panels washout and turn magenta in bright rooms, and they’re picky about how you clean the screen

xg32ucwmg will stay glossy black in any room and isn’t picky about cleaning

[shell void]

they do look incredible if you control your room lighting though

[heavy mantle]

why are you shown as a spam?

[slim pebble]

I looked at that and it’s cheaper, but it’s only 165hZ, not 220. Is that an issue? Mt current monitors are 180Hz

[shell void]

XG32UCWG is 165Hz, XG32UCWMG is 240Hz

i think the MG model is only available from newegg and microcenter

its $1100

i wouldn’t buy the 165Hz model personally because the upgrade to 240Hz is obvious to my eyes

[grizzled lily]

Only for special people that are knighted by linus himself

[slim pebble]

What are the special cleaning requirements?

[shell void]

if it’s similar to a lg oled tv then you don’t have to worry about fingernails scratching it, but the best practice for any display is a clean microfiber towel and distilled water

i’ve used tap water on a wash cloth on my LG C4 and it was fine

[acoustic shoal]

is the 3080 and r5 7600x a good combo

[low sorrel]

sure

always depends on price

[spiral quarry]

Lol so finally got internet back, watching the Vegas GP replay now .

[acoustic shoal]

coz i got a 12gb 3080 and just orders a 850w psu but now i needa decide when and what cpu and ram i should get

[low sorrel]

did you watch quali atleast

[spiral quarry]

Yea I did on my data

that murdered my usage lol

[low sorrel]

i believed in sainz pole for a second lol

[low sorrel]

did you see race start yet or am i gonna spoil it

[spiral quarry]

Now I wanna hop back into F1 24 and try out the vegas track now

[spiral quarry]

well past that

midway through

[low sorrel]

||Lando Bottler holy||

gulity might read these

[spiral quarry]

[low sorrel]

https://dubz.co/c/250413

[spiral quarry]

I wanna hop back into F1 24 now

[brisk jolt]

Im gonna hop on some racing game idk might go onto FM for fujimi kaido

[low sorrel]

1v1 me i suck

[spiral quarry]

but i know I'm gonna total the car within the first lap like usual

[brisk jolt]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/381193840159358976/1429172046046433390/IMG_7512.gif

[spiral quarry]

so use gt3 vehicles atm

[low sorrel]

f1 25 is supposed to be much better apperenity

[low sorrel]

easy just use flashback

[brisk jolt]

Im still not used to the power of GT3 cars in ACC

Like I pretty much prefer road cars

[low sorrel]

Should I get ACC?

I've never played any driving games outside of Forza, F1 and beam

Everytime in beam I forgot they don't have F1 levels of downforce

Wdym I can't corner at 120?

[spiral quarry]

It's a big jump from Forza. Worth it but also if you wanna dip your feet into it try the OG assetto corsa with mods.

[teal orbit]

wdym? can't you get an f1 car from a mod or something

ive only played beamng and assetto corsa (regular) but they both seem to be on similar levels of realism

[spiral quarry]

AC is really cheap too lol.

[teal orbit]

idk if either of them are cheap by my standards

[spiral quarry]

goes on sale often enough if you don't consider any of the DLCs

Forgot how much I paid, I just added everything to my cart without questioning it

[teal orbit]

i think overall for racing AC might be more realistic but for general driving stuff, beamng seems better

[spiral quarry]

just like the other sims I bought

[teal orbit]

tires in beamng kinda feel like the road is always wet

[low sorrel]

I have AC a while back and the mods set up but I've been delaying getting into the game and I recently corrupted my windows install...

[low sorrel]

Yeah but no one plays beamng for the F1 experience

[low sorrel]

They are working on it

[teal orbit]

i don't think it would be because of the non-existence of f1 cars entirely

[low sorrel]

https://youtu.be/9HdBYYeQCU0

[teal orbit]

calspan is based

[low sorrel]

They exist

[teal orbit]

well then i suppose i misunderstood what you were trying to say

[low sorrel]

@spiral quarry did you finish the race?

Don't click on this until you do ||https://www.planetf1.com/news/mclaren-summons-2025-las-vegas-grand-prix-lando-norris-oscar-piastri||

How to put an image behind a spoiler

[teal orbit]

if on mobile you can tap on it and it should let you change settings

[brittle trellis]

Not really, at least not properly made ones... There is the LucasBE Carbonworks F4 though

[low sorrel]

I never said that they are good

i said they exist

[brittle trellis]

If they're not good they can be treated as if they don't exist

[low sorrel]

Not the news I was expecting when i was spamming f5 https://www.reddit.com/r/formula1/comments/1p4held/aston_martin_set_to_sack_f1_team_principal_and_ceo/

[proven saddle]

When the plane lands on a airfield with a speed of - 126 Mph ah calculation

[green marsh]

i guess this as low price as it gets for reasonable fan controller

(i don't care about RGB side being propiertary, the 6 PWM fan side is the important one for me 😄 )

[proven saddle]

i may wana get an fan controler to

[green marsh]

for most modern systems it is not needed, motherboard control is usually good enough

but if you get a china X99 board, or have a Haswell or older board, those often had a limitation of let's say 60% minimum fan speed on anything else but CPU fan header

[green marsh]

sounds like Horner found a new employer

[proven saddle]

but if i had only one fan header?

[green marsh]

then yes, you might want a fan controller, but most modern ones are for specific brand fan headers, which is stupid

realistically these days your only options are older fan controllers like the core xt (it is discontinued, so i am lucky amazon had it in stock and in a deal) and aquacomputer quadro/octo, but those are 50 and 70 euros respectively, for 4 or 8 fan control

[livid flame]

Arctic goes for half the price on pwm

[green marsh]

there is a huge difference between fan controller and fan splitter

[green marsh]

the Arctic fan hub takes the PWM signal from the motherboard and delivers the same PWM signal to all fans connected to it. Commander XT, Aquaero Quadro/Octo allows you to set a separate fan speed for every connector

[errant fable]

are there any budget graphics cards that could run ark survival ascended to a better extent than 18 fps on low graphics on a GTX 1660?

[modest gazelle]

Hi, could this be the reasons of my stutters or rollbacks in competitive games?

[rapid dawn]

You have two different DIMMs?

Like not from the same set? At different speeds?

That's kind of a universal no no

[solemn heron]

Which should i get?

MSI MAG B650 TOMAHAWK WIFI - 150euro
ASUS B650E MAX GAMING WIFI - 165 euro
Gigabyte B650 AERO G - 165 euro

[oak vector]

didn't need to post it in two channels 💔

also why does windows think my monitor (a 1440p monitor) can go up to that resolution
and more importnatly, WHAT on earth is that resolution!? 😭

[rapid dawn]

Tomahawk

[solemn heron]

could i get more context to your descision? honestly i was leaning to the E.

[rapid dawn]

I like Tomahawk

[solemn heron]

ok lol

[rapid dawn]

The e is prolly better

[modest gazelle]

yes and my motherboard only supports 2666 🙁

[rapid dawn]

Uh

Don't do that?

[modest gazelle]

do what?

[rapid dawn]

Don't have two mismatched dimms

[modest gazelle]

yeah it's a PC I built with parts I recouped... in this situation, am I better off with one DIMM? If I can't afford replacement?

[rapid dawn]

If it's unstable ya, probably fine if not.

[modest gazelle]

Well if I play 5v5 competitive in CS2 with Discord, I get rollbacks

i5-9600K - RTX3050 - 1080p set to 145fps max with settings on min/mid

my internet is totally fine 950Mbps, 8ms ping (I'm on Wi-Fi 6)

while playing, neither my CPU or GPU get to 100%

[brave panther]

run them at the highest speed both dimms can do

[low sorrel]

Nvidia VSR?

[topaz veldt]

Damn is this shit getting delivered on a Sunday

[proven saddle]

this?

[turbid locust]

lol same

Bambu has some of the fastest shipping I’ve seen outside of Amazon

I ordered it at like 8p Thursday night, it’ll arrive by 2p today

[topaz veldt]

That's crazy

I never even heard of GOFO lol but hey it's been pretty fast

[turbid locust]

Yeah I was not expecting as much movement as I saw on Friday

It was in my state by like mid day yesterday

[modest gazelle]

it's already on XMP 2666MHz but it's pretty meh in game even on a fresh Windows it's even worse

[solemn heron]

guys what is AI noise canceling on motherboards?

[modest gazelle]

something the industry want you to NEED

[solemn heron]

but i dont even want it 😭

which should i get?
ASUS B650E MAX GAMING WiFi
Gigabyte B650 AERO G
MSI MAG B650 TOMAHAWK WiFi
im leaning towards the B650E

[acoustic shoal]

Is the 5800x a good cpu?

[hasty grove]

https://a.co/d/fNNJ7xZ good monitor?

[turbid locust]

It’s one of the CPUs of all time

[oak vector]

Wsg tc2

[turbid locust]

Yup

[ripe flicker]

y'all is 3060ti and ryzem 5 3600, okay or decent for 1440p gaming?

[acoustic shoal]

Okay good coz I bought it right after u said that

[turbid locust]

It’s alright for some older AAA games

[acoustic shoal]

Got a bit scared u said smth bad

[turbid locust]

would probably start struggling with games newer than like 2019 depending on settings

[turbid locust]

hopefully not new lol

[ripe flicker]

cool

thanks mate

[turbid locust]

DLSS will let you get away with some newer games too but yk

[ripe flicker]

do u think i should invest on a 5070 instead of getting to am5?

[edgy laurel]

yes. with the understanding that in some situations you won't always be extracting full performance from it and you'll want to remedy that later

even with a 3600, 3060Ti > 5070 will net you a considerably better immediate jump in performance

[turbid locust]

500hz would be funny tho

Could anyone make me a build
17000sek / 1779usd
1440p

[edgy laurel]

#1106613567966429224

specify your country

[turbid locust]

https://pcpartpicker.com/guide/xpkcCJ/excellent-amd-gamingstreaming-build

[acoustic echo]

Sek = Sweden

[edgy laurel]

you also mentioned USD which isn't helpful when shopping for parts available elsewhere

[acoustic echo]

The usd was just so yall can get an approximate understanding of the budget

[acoustic echo]

Walmart n stuff not available in Sweden

[edgy laurel]

it really doesn't matter, you can set PCPP to Sweden https://se.pcpartpicker.com/list/

Ohh, Im clueless about computers that’s why I asked for help

https://se.pcpartpicker.com/guide/xpkcCJ/excellent-amd-gamingstreaming-build

[edgy laurel]

sweden version^

[fringe vigil]

im swedish

[edgy laurel]

just have to be conscience that in different countries, a part might be a deal but horribly priced in another

[acoustic echo]

The Rtx 5070 seems like a horrible deal honestly

Or I’m clueless

[edgy laurel]

thats what #1106613567966429224 is for

[acoustic echo]

6000sek so like 610 usd? Idk

[turbid locust]

GPUs are expensive nowadays

[livid flame]

Tbh all gpus are horrible deals these days

Then you’ve got the Nvidia tax on top

10 years ago my entire mid range build probaly cost as much as a 5070ti on its own

[fallow crown]

Does anyone here know the difference between iOS 18.7 and iOS 26? I don't know which to install on the iPhone 13

[livid flame]

18.7= 2025

2026=2026

[edgy laurel]

Thats a big question to ask someone having done presumably zero research on your own

given how much iOS versions are talked about

[livid flame]

Guilty woke up grumpier than me today 😭

[edgy laurel]

Hey, is someone willing to pull up all the written information on these two iOS versions and summarize it for me?

[fallow crown]

https://tenor.com/view/um-stan-twitter-interesting-gif-2556128588276332485

[edgy laurel]

Comon

[livid flame]

you only get 18.7 option if you can’t do 2026 I thought

[fallow crown]

I just asked a question

[edgy laurel]

Understood, but you didn't realize how big of a question that is when the majority of it you can find out on your own with a little effort

[fallow crown]

[livid flame]

https://tenor.com/view/michael-jackson-comendo-picoca-gif-9669437860846841235

[edgy laurel]

I'm not even sure if "the difference between them" is a relevant question in this case. My first google string would have been "ios on iphone 13" and just started reading.

The last place I would have went is here.

[livid flame]

Guilty, tell us the difference between Windows NT and Windows 98 please?

[edgy laurel]

Sorry about all this, but i find really concerning how often people don't realize the tools they have available to them to learn about things.

When I have questions, i turn to Google, not Discord.

[livid flame]

Tbh most people under the age of 30 go straight to chatgpt

[edgy laurel]

Thats terrifying.

[livid flame]

It sure is

[fallow crown]

Of course

[livid flame]

My work promote copilot… it’s amazing how many emails I shove in there to see people never wrote a word theirselves

[oak vector]

Yeah that’s sad
Like emails aren’t even hard to write

And this is where issues come in, people agree to something they don’t remember writing or saying, cos they weren’t the ones that wrote it

[edgy laurel]

copilot might have at least recognized your use of "right" incorrectly though 🤣

[wise bear]

hey being grumpy is my schtick

[kind geode]

Im looking for a WOLED monitor (preferably 4k), i cant find any reviews about the "27" Lenovo Legion Pro 27UD-10 - 3840x2160 (4K) - 240Hz - OLED" - why is this? Is the panel bad? I have a lenovo laptop with their oled, its great, no text aura.

Is this monitor a good? Its ~750$ (7 490nok) in Norway

[wise bear]

It took me 5 seconds
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hrleg5qnwQQ

aaand nevermind its not even the right model

It's probably too new to get reviewed tbh

[fringe vigil]

What this film called

I remember he throws the oil on that one guy

[edgy laurel]

Watchmen

[fringe vigil]

I need to watch it

[wise bear]

So go watch it

[livid flame]

Wait.

You want to watch watchmen?

[wise bear]

I think jorj just wants to watch men

[livid flame]

Say it would be like say.. men watching watchmen

[edgy laurel]

Too new. Almost certainly not "bad" but with such limited information I can't tell if its glossy or matte.

it appears to be a Samsung QD-OLED panel

[wise bear]

so its probably good

[edgy laurel]

As for monitors go, naturally yes. 27", 4K, known QD-OLED panel. Hard to be "bad"

[wise bear]

Guilty do you work from home

[edgy laurel]

on Fridays

[wise bear]

Oh nice

[hasty grove]

theres no qd mini led monitors that are 240 hz, should i just go ips, or mini led

[edgy laurel]

Mini LED and IPS aren't something you compare

one is a backlight tech, the other an LCD type

there are many IPS Mini-LED displays

[wise bear]

Rain forecast looking more autistic than me today for real

yes, no WAIT YES

[kind geode]

Think its an WOLED

[wise bear]

woahled

[edgy laurel]

According to what? Can't find any info either way.

[livid flame]

What if it’s a NOLED?

[wise bear]

or a broled

[hasty grove]

i thought they were all va? interesting, so im looking for a 27 inch 1440p 240hz qd-mini led, they dont exist from what ive seen. i really dont want an oled that i have to deal with burn in

[livid flame]

CORNLED

[wise bear]

what if the broled has noshed

[livid flame]

Luke sounds like some one that watches low grade YouTubers do reviews on monitors

[wise bear]

fr

[hasty grove]

i mean or i could just bother everyone in here with all my questions cant hate a brotha for tryna learn

[edgy laurel]

That being said, "burn in" isn't something anyone here really worries about or cares about anymore.

[hasty grove]

qd mini led @edgy laurel

[livid flame]

I burn in my air fryer tbfh

[wise bear]

https://shop.asus.com/us/90lm0ah0-b01ab0-rog-strix-oled-xg27aqdmg.html

[edgy laurel]

Explain what you mean by that.

[wise bear]

it took me TEN SECONDS.

[livid flame]

27 to 31.5 inches. Depends on if we go by inches or man inches?

[hasty grove]

theres qd-mini led monitors no? or am i missing something

[edgy laurel]

thats OLED

[wise bear]

woled

[edgy laurel]

It sounds like you're stuck on someones marketing

[livid flame]

Honestly, if you have to ask about these things. It’s probably not going to matter to you

[hasty grove]

so its all the same?

[wise bear]

always was

[hasty grove]

dumbest thing ive ever seen

[edgy laurel]

Words to live by around here.

[livid flame]

I guess you’re dumb then

[hasty grove]

good one bro

[wise bear]

luke your monitor doesnt exist

get oled and be happy

[livid flame]

You also cross posted to TC1 and someone else is questioning you being a bit of a directional special person

[hasty grove]

and chat gpt cuz i asked the difference between qd mini led and mini led and it said there difference and qd is better pretty much but i guess im crazy

[wise bear]

But also learn to use google for christ sake, I spent less than a minute total searching and found you a woled display and showed you that w/e crackhead display you're wanting doesn't exist

[livid flame]

I’m not even that grumpy right now. I’m just bored of kids copy pasting or typing shit they hear on terrible YouTube videos and expecting to be given what they want

LOL there it is. The chat gpt line. Fkn Gen Z. Do some work

[hasty grove]

then like why are u here i dont understand

[livid flame]

Ask chatgpt if Rocky Balboa or your nan would win in a fight while you’re on it. Probably give you about as useful information.

[wise bear]

Like yes we're a knowledge resource but my god we're tc2 for a reason

[livid flame]

If chatgpt already told you and it’s 100% accurate. Why are you here? Can’t it whip you up a buy list?

[wise bear]

tc2 is where the people who know their shit hang, and we reaaaaally don't like it when dorks come rolling in asking very obvious questions that can be solved by the most basic googling

[livid flame]

I might just hit the warship 3 times and get myself a 24hour ban. People be dumb today.

[wise bear]

nah dont

[green marsh]

dude, could be worse. Imagine having a open source project and random people from India opening PRs by adding their name to Readme because a random youtube tutorial said so. Yes, this is really happening

[shell void]

i would buy PG27AQWP if i was buying a 1440p monitor

[green marsh]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IrrOHBqq7oU (it's happenign for a year or more)

[brittle trellis]

People in internet chatrooms are not your personal google

[pure garnet]

what’s good gang

i’m boarding in like 20 minutes

[wise bear]

mornin kyoko

[edgy laurel]

Don't do that. Also just buy OLED like the rest of us. If you want MiniLED based LCD's, here you go. https://www.displayninja.com/mini-led-monitor-list/

[steel stream]

QD MiniLed is just marketing for TVs I think

[wise bear]

lukes long-ass post is either going to be an attempt at insulting us or complaining

[civic reef]

Sometimes I wonder just HOW people get their tech so dirty

There's this B450 I saw that's either covered in tar, or rusty as hell

[steel stream]

Ah it's just QLED

[civic reef]

Probably both if I had to guess

[pure garnet]

4k240hz oled solves all your issues

[civic reef]

Also hi @wise bear

[wise bear]

https://tenor.com/view/the-road-to-el-dorado-both-both-is-good-gif-8304204

road to el dorado best movie

[steel stream]

TCL has "QD-MiniLed" and also just labels it "QLED", once again just fancy marketing mumbo jumbo

[wise bear]

✨ quantum ai light ✨ or some stupid shit

[edgy laurel]

Yep, and chatgpt gave them bad information as it doesn't know how to deal with nuanced marketing

[steel stream]

i think they do use a quantom dot layer, but def not the same as QD-OLED and QLED def isn't in monitors

[shell void]

there are qled miniled monitors

[steel stream]

nvm

i stand corrected

[brittle trellis]

They stopped typing and turned DND on

[steel stream]

[hasty grove]

i cant interfere with the safe space this discord is too valuable to me so yea bro your right i didnt get my answer from the other people in here yall got me i learned my lesson

This might be the biggest skill issue in history but: I’ve been able to drive everything I’ve ever touched that’s able to be driven… I cannot drive a zero turn.

[brittle trellis]

Did Sam Altman's computer write that for you?

[wise bear]

mr altman im being bullied pls help me

[edgy laurel]

[pure garnet]

typical reshade kiddies crankign the contrast and sharpness so high it cuts into your retinas calling "realistic"

[pure garnet]

am sitting directly behind a metal pole

[fringe vigil]

https://youtu.be/QAU-lOq314o?si=heypd9triHXRF5G5 sure buddy

[edgy laurel]

used in that^

I decided to make a whole new Reshade which adds more realistic color, lighting and detail. It includes Sharpen, Grain, DPX, FakeHDR, (For monitors that don't support real HDR) tint, and Technicolor.

[edgy laurel]

I don't think anyone here thought anything new after that video. deep faking is old news

[shut pasture]

I know but think about the 40-59 yea r old people

[wise bear]

yeah he's already done deepfake content in the past

[jaunty horizon]

always wanted an asus rog laptop ngl

[wise bear]

dude it's such a little powerhouse

[wise bear]

does altium have osx support?

[shell void]

so you totally need a panther lake chip 👁️

[steel stream]

only available for windows afaik

i've got buddies that run it on vms on their macbooks but that seems like a hassle

and LTspice is terrible on macbook lol

[wise bear]

hmmhmmhmmmmm

framework lappy?

[steel stream]

I've thought about but it's too much a premium just for me to be able to upgrade/repair my own laptop

[wise bear]

fair

[steel stream]

A Macbook is my dream if it weren't for the compatibility, so something like lunar lake or panther lake is my next best bet

I need them to bring back the old XPS chassis and put a PTL chip in there

[fringe vigil]

macbook type windows laptop is mine

[steel stream]

not if I get it first jorj

[jaunty horizon]

Bro I wish I waited for a bit longer so I could buy a MacBook with the space black finish😭

Hey guys, it appears that the psu that i ordered has been lightly dropped/has been in dust for a bit (one side of the plastuc is a bit grey). Is it 100% safe to use?

[wraith steeple]

jorj that's a lethal mistake you just made

[young void]

After back reading just dust it off and try it out, typically psu 10 years or older should be replaced just due to capacitors lifespan.. use pcpartpicker.com to see if your pc parts are within the psu spec wattage

I got a artic liquid freeszer pro and does and want to use individual connector, but does it go in cpu_opt or

[topaz veldt]

there's nothing wrong with a 2TB 980 Pro for $180

[mild sandal]

iops?

[shell void]

sure but what are you transferring to/from?

[young void]

Fan goes to cpu fan or pump header yiss, rgb cable to any 3 pin rgb header

[shell void]

youre gonna need a 100Gb connection to saturate the burst sequential speed of a gen 5 nvme

[fringe vigil]

wtf I’ve been looking at 64gb rams and this is the price? Don’t even

[mild sandal]

Yeah but I could have gotten ddr5 back then if I saved and got a cheaper ssd

[shell void]

for longer transfers of larger files the best 4.0 and 5.0 drives end up at a similar throttled speed

the good 4.0 drives like 990 Pro though, not the dramless 980 Pro

[fringe vigil]

I love my 990 pro 2tb

Eh, just shower thoughts as I haven't needed to yet, but it would most likely be from my laptop and pc both ways

[turbid locust]

random Teamgroup Gen 3 NVMe’s >>>>>

[shell void]

you do not need a flagship gen 5 nvme then xd

[edgy laurel]

You do not need to spend the money.

[mild sandal]

Had a feeling that was the case lol.

[fringe vigil]

I’m in the market for 64gb

[steel stream]

of ram?

[fringe vigil]

Yh

[shell void]

bad time to buy ram because you already have ddr5 jorj and it costs a lot right now

[steel stream]

you're gonna pay like a bajillion dollars

[mild sandal]

It might sound crazy but I think buying a pre built, taking it's ram, and selling it would be cheaper in this market

[edgy laurel]

In the UK, in stock, the cheapest suitable kit is £320.73, and then you'd have to know how to use your BIOS to manually tune it back down to 6000.

[shell void]

not bad

[steel stream]

damn

[edgy laurel]

Cheapest plug and play 6000CL30 kit is £332.72

[steel stream]

please return us to 10$ per TB

[turbid locust]

Damn the ram prices hit the eBay OEM green stick market too

[wise bear]

its bad

[cinder basalt]

Hi there, would somebody be up to help me choose between 2 monitors?

[wise bear]

lettuce see

[edgy laurel]

this kit actually dropped from 500 a day ago https://neocomputers.co.uk/shop-now/2484-adata-xpg-lancer-blade-rgb-64gb-kit-2-x-32gb-ddr5-6000mhz-cl30-135v-ecc-pmic-amd-expo-intel-xmp-30-dimm-memory-4711085944924.html?tagrid=78684459

[shell void]

so glad i only paid $160 for 64GB 6000CL30 and $165 for 48GB 8000CL36

[fringe vigil]

Why’s this shit so expensive now

[edgy laurel]

ai

[cinder basalt]

I already have a powerful laptop with a 16" wqxga 165hz monitor with high srgb and RGB.
But my laptop is a little to far from me on my desk when coding. So I want a bigger monitor as second screen
For 60bucks I hesitate between the AOC 23.8" LED - 24B31H and the PHILIPS 24E2N1110. They have exactly the same specs on paper.

[steel stream]

damn when did you get that 48GB kit?

[fringe vigil]

wtf when was it that price, which ram you got I’ll have a look

[shell void]

dram market mafia artificially throttling supply during a time of high demand

[edgy laurel]

jorj, those prices don't exist anymore.

[shell void]

theyre purposefully not producing more because theyre loving the high margins lol

[mild sandal]

Buy this, get the rebate, pluck out the ram and sell the pc ram less or with 16gb for profit...

Trust

[steel stream]

i paid 169 for 48GB 6800

[fringe vigil]

I’m so mad

[edgy laurel]

look at the graph and the dates above. thats the entire industry.

you're buying at the wrong time

[fringe vigil]

So when

[steel stream]

no one knows

[edgy laurel]

we'll let you know when we know

[wraith steeple]

It won't go down for a while

[mild sandal]

I wonder if laptop ram to ram slot adapter exist

[steel stream]

damn

[steel stream]

it does but it's stupid

[livid flame]

Nope.

£239

And it’s on stock

[mild sandal]

Probably has some draw back like latency, right?

[steel stream]

everything

[shell void]

they were looking at 64GB kits

[livid flame]

Oh my bad

[edgy laurel]

sure doesn't look like 64GB

[topaz veldt]

@turbid locust I figured out how this GOFO service delivers so fast....

[livid flame]

Yeah 64gb is ridiculous 😂😭

wtf. There’s Lexar cl28 for £172 32gb

[mild sandal]

What's the monitor market looking like rn?

[steel stream]

wow they really care

[mild sandal]

Any new tech?

[livid flame]

Like monitors

[steel stream]

we are starting to get tandem OLED displays in monitors, slow roll out though

[shell void]

we'll see new monitors at CES in January 2026

inshallah glossy 2160p240Hz 4th gen w-oled

the "new" thing is going to be 5K though

5120x2880p 165Hz IPS and QD-OLED

27" and 32"

[young void]

I'll have to peak it

[topaz veldt]

I need 5K 240

[steel stream]

QD-OLED lameeeee

[young void]

Lol snails

[shell void]

so real i need 32" 5K 240Hz glossy OLED

whether it's W-OLED or RGB-OLED i don't care, just not QD-OLED

[wraith steeple]

I can't keep up with the new monitors

[young void]

I mean if it's visibly noticeable improvements side by side (coughs at LTT "make a vid please") full send

[steel stream]

I NEED RGB-OLED

will replace the G5 straight away

[shell void]

if you have average (20/20) eyesight then the upgrade from 2160p to 2880p is noticeable yes

Apple standardized 5120x2880p in 2014 and they didnt just do it for no reason

[dusty lotus]

5k will be the new "high end" gaming res

[shell void]

yeah the stack is moving up

[edgy laurel]

I don't understand why there isn't a universal database that includes EVERYTHING. I want colums for release year, panel used, coating type, raw DP/HDMI bandwidth.. all the shit other places leave out.

[steel stream]

start your own

[edgy laurel]

Other places have a few of those things, but not all in the same table and easily searchable

[steel stream]

you totally won't look crazy

[shell void]

1440p is the new lowest res anyone should buy, 2160p is the standard, and 2880p is the new high res frontier

[dusty lotus]

me with 1080 and 4k

[edgy laurel]

DisplayNinja was the closest but still missing most ofthose critical things for easy lookup. instead we now have to dig around between rtings, other random reviews and reddit

it needs to exist! (i just don't wanna do it...)

[shell void]

i think this is the best youll get https://www.displayspecifications.com/en/model/5e294280

[wraith steeple]

I'm a smooth brain when it comes to monitors

[dusty lotus]

if 5k becomes the new 4k this will be interesting

[edgy laurel]

i wish it had panel used, so you could easily gather together whats part of the same "generation" and just sharing a panel

[shell void]

it does suck that you have to be chronically online with a special interest in display tech in order to keep up with all of the intricacies

[edgy laurel]

if their database was in table format it would be great

with release date and panel

[shell void]

oh do you mean the actual panel model number, as if you were shopping for a replacement panel for a laptop on ebay?

[edgy laurel]

Well, yeah but i'm just thinking more for grouping what displays are "the same"

[shell void]

i have no idea about that for any of these, i just know that all 32" 2160p240Hz w-oled panels are the same

same with all 27" 2160p240Hz qd-oled panels

[edgy laurel]

this Lenovo Legion 27UD-10 that just came out

next to nothing out there

Lenovo's site of course doesn't say WOLED or QD-OLED that i'm seeing, or coating type

[dusty lotus]

what is 5k even called

[shell void]

it's a 26.5" 3840x2160p QD-OLED panel, and only one panel of that type exists

[steel stream]

You just want to know what's using the 3rd gen qd-oled panels, second gens and so on right

[dusty lotus]

uqhd?

[shell void]

it's the same as every other 27" 2160p qd-oled monitor

[turbid locust]

lmao no way

[shell void]

https://psref.lenovo.com/Detail/Lenovo_Legion_Pro_27UD_10?M=68CEGACBWW

[edgy laurel]

where do you find this stuff lol

[shell void]

Lenovo is pretty good about listing specs

[edgy laurel]

oh, i see it

[steel stream]

Monitor
Dolby vision

[edgy laurel]

coating "anti glare"

ok so..

[shell void]

itll be glossy because only Samsung Electronics puts a matte finish on qd-oled panels

[steel stream]

they've got some real geniuses over there

[grizzled lily]

yo where to plug in vrm from artic aio?

[steel stream]

"hey you know the panel that already struggles to maintain the perfect blacks it's known for in a dark room? Let's put a matte panel on it and make it even worse!"

[shell void]

photo of the monitor irl and yeah it's glossy

[steel stream]

https://tenor.com/view/hysterical-laughter-laughing-gif-25735842

how the samsung engineers must feel

[dusty lotus]

an oled that fails to maintain black in a dark environment?

[shell void]

but you wouldnt know this unless youve put countless hours into researching these displays so i get what you mean

[dusty lotus]

what witchery is that

[shell void]

the monitor market is very deceptive and annoying to follow

[edgy laurel]

Can we talk about genius decision to put a white/metallic colored outer bezel on a display

[steel stream]

QD-OLED

[dusty lotus]

sucks to suck

woled and miniled supremacy

[edgy laurel]

i'd hate this

[dusty lotus]

https://tenor.com/view/dancing-freaky-michael-storen-vibe-gif-10536461617034287572

[fringe vigil]

Which oled you got

[shell void]

common W-OLED win

[dusty lotus]

a woled that i replaced with miniled

[shell void]

this is the LG 32GX850A which is a glossy 2160p165Hz panel, the same used in the XG32UCWMG and XG32UCWG

[shell void]

the new 4th gen w-oled panels are even blacker than this one is

twice as black to be precise

[dusty lotus]

i know how woled performs in a bright room

[edgy laurel]

vantablack

[fringe vigil]

Which one u got

[dusty lotus]

the blacks appear brownish but only under direct light

[shell void]

the new 4th gen glossy w-oled panels are as black as our C-series are, it's so wonderful

[dusty lotus]

my miniled is black black under sunlight though

[shell void]

good monitors finally exist

[edgy laurel]

took em long enough

[shell void]

were you looking at the LG G3 or LG G4?

[dusty lotus]

no that was my 32gs95uv

[shell void]

ah

[dusty lotus]

the extra white subpixel does kind of mess with the image though, the miniled with a traditional rgb layout looks sharper

[shell void]

the new 4th gen panels are more than twice as good at rejecting ambient light than your 32GS95UV was

[dusty lotus]

i dont plan on going back to oled anytime soon

waiting for microled to come to monitors

[shell void]

that's never happening so i guess youre a lcd man

[edgy laurel]

lol

i think you'd have to pay me to go back to LCD

a lot

[shell void]

the next display techs to come to monitors and laptop panels will be RGB-Miniled LCD, and RGB-OLED

micro-led is a pipedream

it's been "right around the corner" in news articles since like 2014

[edgy laurel]

meanwhile, all we've got are $200k+ TV's

[shell void]

Apple spent billions of dollars trying to make a microLED display for their Apple Watch Ultra and then gave up because it's still not practical xd

the closest thing to uLED that may come out in a handful of years is direct view self emissive quantum dots

TCL/CSOT calls it "QDEL", and Samsung Display calls it "EL-QD"

there have been some showcases at trade shows

[turbid locust]

FedEx it’s 1:45p

[edgy laurel]

Ahh yes, QDEL. Thats been a thing mentioned the last few CES'es

[shell void]

TCL seems to be the furthest along with it

they had some laptop panels at the last shows that could do ~500nits iirc

ah 400 not 500

it has a strange subpixel arrangement

frickin honeycomb pentile or somethin idk

[pure garnet]

text gonna be horrid

[shell void]

should be fine on a 243ppi laptop panel

it would be crap on a standard res monitor though yeah
