[dusty lotus]

dead pixel moment??

windows cleartype will not enjoy it

[shell void]

possible xd

it’s a prototype panel at a trade show and tcl is pretty ambitious

they show off stuff that won’t be released for a long time, if ever

[dusty lotus]

what qdel even is

[shell void]

using electricity to cause quantum dots to emit light

[devout ridge]

dead subpixel*

partially dead subpixel**

[shell void]

in qd-oled there’s a blue oled light source that shines through quantum dots, in qdel the quantum dots are emitting the light directly

[dusty lotus]

heard quantum dots also die over time

[devout ridge]

are quantum dots like actually "quantum" or is it just marketing gobbledygook

[dusty lotus]

but pretty sure they are less prone to burn in like oled

because no organic material

[fringe vigil]

Why you yapping about oled you prob don’t even have one

[dusty lotus]

i had for a year

[fringe vigil]

Which

[dusty lotus]

the 32gs95uv said above

[fringe vigil]

Why u get rid of it

[dusty lotus]

i prefer lcd reliability

[fringe vigil]

[shell void]

it gets complicated

[dusty lotus]

oled is cool and all but i keep way too much static things on the screen

it is a 3rd gen panel so it isnt as durable as the new 4th gen

no burn in though

didnt like the unevenness of the per pixel brightness resulting in a grainy like image

solid white in particular

looked "dirty"

[shell void]

i don’t see that on my w-oled, but it’s glossy, and doesn’t have the micro lens array

[fringe vigil]

What static things give an example

[dusty lotus]

mine was matte and had mla+

[shell void]

yeah i think the combination of those two is the problem

[dusty lotus]

that couldve caused the dirty image

[shell void]

you’d probably like a glossy 4th gen woled, but you like your current monitor so it’s fine

plus the 2160p ones won’t be out until next year

[dusty lotus]

i prefer matte

[shell void]

HERETIC

[dusty lotus]

all of my displays are matte

[wraith steeple]

https://tenor.com/view/heretic-еретик-игра-game-gif-23165000

[dusty lotus]

except phone

[shell void]

i tried a matte glass screen protector on my phone, it feels nice to use, but the grainy look pissed me off

[dusty lotus]

ive seen those protectors and the image quality drops by half

matte doesnt matter on low ppi but on high ppi like phones its a big deal

[green marsh]

can't be shucked tho. Also most likely an SHR drive

[edgy laurel]

Most of us did in theory until we experienced real glossy

[dusty lotus]

lcd brightness paired with oled blacks, miniled is something everyone needs to experience

[green marsh]

i have a glossy Macbook Pro and i prefer matte any day

[dusty lotus]

dont get me wrong ive seen many glossy displays but i still prefer matte

the matte coating on my miniled doesnt feel grainy but smooth

but it feels grainy on my 24in

[devout ridge]

that is actually really cool

so it's not all that different to a standard LED

[shell void]

yeah you could argue that QDEL is a form of micro led

it’s the closest thing to it that could actually come to monitors in the near future

[proven saddle]

Huh before is normal and after it has more colors

[dusty lotus]

qdel looks cool but what about longevity of said quantum dots?

[shell void]

i think that’s still the problem

blue phosphorescent oled, and blue self emissive quantum dots still have lifespan problems

[mild sandal]

What's the latency like streaming a game from one pc to another on the same network/connected through Ethernet or whatever?

[edgy laurel]

next to nothing

moonlight/sunshine is near imperceptible assuming wired

[whole coral]

Near 0 ms

Probably like 0.1 ms or so

[edgy laurel]

I played a game for a bit streaming to a second PC on my desk. moved my mouse/keyboard over and looked at that display. could have fooled me that it wasn't native

[whole coral]

There’s never truly 0 ms latency due to initialization

[mild sandal]

Jeez that's crazy.

[edgy laurel]

sunshine is very good

Server: https://app.lizardbyte.dev/Sunshine/?lng=en-US
Client: https://moonlight-stream.org/

moonlight client exists for many platforms

Some even use this combo for a "dual PC" streaming setup

where OBS runs on the second PC and "captures" the moonlight stream

[mild sandal]

So sunshine on my pc and moonlight on whatever I'm streaming a game on?

[edgy laurel]

uh

Sunshine is the server, runs on the PC playing the game

Moonlight is the client you run on a phone/laptop/smartTV/streaming device or second PC you want to stream the game TO

do with that what you will

[mild sandal]

Got it. Thanks, seems I have a way to make use of my laptops display for my pc now

Oled corrupted me, I can't stand anything else anymore.

[edgy laurel]

this is the way

[proven saddle]

Every time I see this I remember knuckels

this is correct and factual infomation and i don't lie

what country uses 230v

my room has 110, 220, and 230v outlets

[proven saddle]

Me

[proven saddle]

Was it great?

[edgy laurel]

220 through 240v is the same. similar to when people say 110 or 120V here in NA

[low sorrel]

eh

[south shuttle]

there are two

[pure garnet]

well they’re not the same plug but that’s how they’re labeled

[south shuttle]

electro wizardian countrie

[edgy laurel]

where are you?

[proven saddle]

230v are yummy

[dusty lotus]

majority of the world

[edgy laurel]

In Europe Britain used to be 240 V and rest of Europe 220 V. In the 80s it was decided to harmonize to 230 V. Most of Europe did that in the practice in the 90s but Britain did that only in the name playing with the margins.

240 V is also used in the US as the phase to phase voltage. Some may call it 220 V or 230 V based on former standards.

As a general rule same equipment can be used on all but for example if you run a 220 V incandescent bulb at 240 V it will last a significantly shorter time.

[south shuttle]

230-240v superior

[edgy laurel]

re: the discrepancy between 220, 230 and 240V

[proven saddle]

And yummy

[south shuttle]

i believe you'll also find 200v somewhere

[edgy laurel]

line voltage has just gone up over the decades

first US standard was 110VAC/60hz. Started being called 115V, now 120V.

[dusty lotus]

north america looks like its stuck behind

[edgy laurel]

so, same thing. just confusion from past standards

[proven saddle]

Now I get 230V at 50hz

[low sorrel]

[lilac rover]

Is this a good way to install a cpu? First time builder here

[dusty lotus]

install however you like as long as the pins arent touched

[lilac rover]

Is this way safer than the others?

[young void]

Usually an arrow in one corner to line up with a corner in the socket

[lilac rover]

I know that

[young void]

Better refrence just dont scrape the bottom should be fine

Heart surgery similar

[thorn echo]

hey so real quick i need some help- i have a desktop with i7 12700kf with 6800xt - I have $1600 to spend at micro center because of a gift card, i need to get a solid laptop for school but should i use the extra money and upgrade my gpu or save for later?

[pure garnet]

you could probably get a 5070ti/9070xt and a decent laptop

[thorn echo]

do you think it is worth getting a 9070xt its like 570$ at micro center right now

or is the upgrade from a 6800xt not gonna be worth it

[pure garnet]

imo yeah

[thorn echo]

is the 5070 or 9070xt better

[dusty lotus]

xt

[thorn echo]

word

do yall have any other gpu recomendation that could be better for that price or is that really best

[pure garnet]

at $570 the 9070 xt is going to be best you can get

the only thing meaningfully faster would be the 5090 anyway

[fringe vigil]

bro is not ray

[green marsh]

american 240V is totally disturbing to an european. Because here it is either phase to ground, or 3 phases to ground. Also each phase is 120 degrees away from previous

[devout ridge]

if you're on 3 phase, service to the home is usually dual phase, so 180 degrees away

most apartments are 3 phase, and would be 208v

if you bridge 2 phases at 120 degrees apart

[green marsh]

as i said, here in europe you get 3 phase connection, unless you specifically request a single phase connection

[devout ridge]

240v single phase is wild

[green marsh]

the typical single phase 240V 16A is a rather weak connection for some appliances

for example induction cooktops usually require 3-phase connection, so they can use 7.6kW of peak power

[devout ridge]

huh

[green marsh]

if you connect them only with single phase 3.8kW, then you are usually limited how many spots can you turn on or limited in max heating power

[devout ridge]

240v 16a would be 3.8kw, so two phases of that would be 7.6kw, instead of needing 3 phases

or is the third phase just so you don't blow your breaker

[green marsh]

it's more like they don't reach 7kW usually, but 3.6kW is a bit bellow peak

if i remember correctly most are like "if you connect it with 1 phase, you are limited to only 2 spots at max power or all spots, but only at 70%'

so yeah, normally it is 2 phase requirement but for that you need 3 phase power delivery

oh boy, what sorta FUD is he spreading

[topaz veldt]

I dunno if he is dude

[shell void]

i think it's the beginning of the end of full size 512bit monolithic consumer GPUs, but otherwise no

chiplet gpus will be happening in the near future

[fervent chasm]

we need better iGPU advancements

then don’t have to worry about big chonky bois

[topaz veldt]

I think GPU prices/availabillity are going to become an issue

[shell void]

thankfully panther lake is a huge igpu performance upgrade over strix point and lunar lake

but 128bit igpus are never going to replace big gpus

[topaz veldt]

This is the entirety of our MCs 5090 inventory @edgy laurel

A couple days ago there were 12-14 Astral OCs

[shell void]

lul nobody wants the aio ones

[topaz veldt]

well yeah they're too much $ and don't fit

[fervent chasm]

Don’t fit what? The cases?

[topaz veldt]

Cases, builds

[edgy laurel]

I mean, they're also 5090's They aren't "the industry"

they don't effectively matter

[fervent chasm]

I feel like you’d wanna go AIO anyway for a 5090 no?

[edgy laurel]

The 5070's though,they matter

[turbid locust]

Ok. I'm starting to understand the Bambu glaze

[fervent chasm]

Get that heat out of here

[topaz veldt]

They do matter because they are large die - it shows where the focus is

If the focus is getting GDDR7 and big dies into AI cards, we're hosed

[shell void]

fab capacity is strained yes but that's not new

[topaz veldt]

You could walk into this MC 3 weeks ago and buy any GPU you wanted

[turbid locust]

check Sharonville lol

[topaz veldt]

I mean farmers don't buy GPUs usually

and MC doesn't ship, so

[shell void]

the best time of the year to buy GPUs is mid year summer

prices are highest at the beginning and the end of the year

[topaz veldt]

This isn't a price issue

The TUF OC price went up, but you can't even find some of these models anywhere in the country

4-6 weeks ago they were laying there

I don't think Jay is right most times but

[karmic folio]

fab

[topaz veldt]

Anyone have a 990 Pro w/o any heatsink on it

[grizzled lily]

yea

[topaz veldt]

how are the temps

[shell void]

my 4TB model was fine with the motherboard heatspreader but i didnt try running it with nothing

[topaz veldt]

no i mean like rear mITX slot

[shell void]

time for you to find out for us

[grizzled lily]

pretty good just buikt my pc so I am ch3cking drivers and stuff

[merry stirrup]

no they don’t

[edgy laurel]

then the 5060's and 5060Ti's do. the ones people actually buy in large numbers

[grizzled lily]

yoo any fix for antec flux fans not spinning ?

[topaz veldt]

those dies don't compete with AI market

[edgy laurel]

exactly. if they're not going anywhere, then whats the problem for consumers?

[topaz veldt]

The die is only 1/2 the topic

It will take longer to see a dent in that tier due to die size and yield. But if we're seeing big die big VRAM shortages in this "AI boom" it will hit that tier sooner than later, but it will start in the 5090/5080 first

[edgy laurel]

ok ok thats all well and good but something more important has come up

[topaz veldt]

Meanwhile

[shell void]

fast, mysterious, unbeatable

[hushed widget]

What is the best msrp 5080 I can get?

[turbid locust]

whichever one is $999

[balmy glacier]

well there's only 1 general msrp
if you asking for the best price you can get
it's either at or below msrp

[proven saddle]

Un pluged and multiple times presst start button after no power

[hushed widget]

theres like tons

are they all gonna make no difference between each other?

[balmy glacier]

Hold down Shift
as you Click
Shut Down
in the Windows Start Menu

and it'll completely shut down

[turbid locust]

One might be 1db quieter

[proven saddle]

Even with no power and discharged psu?

[balmy glacier]

Look man
your pc is fine running days on end
if it really bothers you
just Hold Down Shift
when you press Shut Down

[proven saddle]

Ok gona look after

[balmy glacier]

godspeed

[proven saddle]

But like i wana have it shutdown if i swithced the psu to 0 then unplug the cabel and then discarg it

[proven saddle]

Sped x

[balmy glacier]

why do you want to do that?

Just Hold down Shift

it's that much easier

And I'm contempt with my PC (I'm waiting for the AI Bubble to burst like the Great Depression)

[steel stream]

you can't play Arc Raiders on a car, get a new pc

tbh and imo, any PC with a 7900X3D is worth about $300

it was ewaste the moment that CPU was boxed

[proven saddle]

i’m late to noticing this

[steel stream]

yeah the great one

i wonder when W890 will actually finally launch

[floral spear]

But I am looking for a new 240hz Monitor though

Or 320, whatever the gamer standard is now

[turbid locust]

1440p 240hz oled is like $400 rn

Do car

[proven saddle]

Expensive

[floral spear]

I'm going to be moving to a new place where I get the internet priority

[turbid locust]

for oled? hardly

[floral spear]

Which means I can go back to gaming shitty BG games like

$250 from Asus instead of a chineseum brand

24.5" 1440p240Hz is $150usd

[steel stream]

yeah I don't think he would buy any of those tbh

[shell void]

bros gotta wait for them to be $25

[steel stream]

they gotta pay him to take the monitor

[topaz veldt]

guys should I go NH-D15 G2 for the 265K Ncase or try and jam a LF3 280 on it

@steel stream pls halp

I think I should stick to NHD15 G2 plan yah?

[steel stream]

yeah i'd just go for G2 at first yeah

its just such a commitment one way or the other with layout

[sharp heart]

"quality" of work

[indigo walrus]

To be fair, having seen firsthand how stonkholder pleasing the entire Telecom industry is... This is likely the result of penny pinching bean counters moreso than a tech not giving a crap about their work. Still sucks for the next technician though.

[low sorrel]

real question why logically does it make sense for the cargo elevators in arc raiders to play a siren

[steel stream]

no

[low sorrel]

shit game

[merry stirrup]

escape from tarkov 1.0 tho

[steel stream]

no

[merry stirrup]

WHYYY

[steel stream]

no

[merry stirrup]

man

[low sorrel]

one it's tarkov

2 it's tarkov

[merry stirrup]

2 its tarkov

tarkov is the best fps game i will likely ever play no glaze

if a game can do extraction style shooters in a way that i enjoy more than tarkov i will eat my shoe

[steel stream]

i wish arc raiders was first person that would have been cool

[low sorrel]

defenders advatange is insane in arc raiders

[fringe vigil]

F no

It’s better third imo

[pure garnet]

isn’t it littered with cheaters

[merry stirrup]

idk ive ran into like 5 for suresies cheaters

its very hard to tell whether someone youre fighting against is a cheater and i think the games reputation being full of cheaters ruined it for a lot of the...worse people at the game

ive been accused of cheating after just shooting someone in the head cause i saw them walking

[pure garnet]

i mean the wiggle video killed any interest in me ever playing

[turbid locust]

same

I dont fw multiplayer games that cause me to constantly wonder about my match integrity

It's why i havent queued Valve servers in CS in years

[young void]

Lol watcha going to do with it Bass any specific old programs?

[fringe vigil]

rico kawaloski

[wraith steeple]

Definitely some good classics like Doom, Wolf 3D, Heretic, and Hexen, Monkey Island. Also games that we originally had when we had the original 486 like Myst, Phantasmagoria, Battle Chess (I played that a ton as a kid), and Sam and Max

Also The 7th Guest

[fringe vigil]

i love madagascar

fond memories of playing the madagascar game on xbox

[wraith steeple]

I loved playing the put-put golf mini game

though this was on PS2

https://youtu.be/vSyic4TmAps?si=-bqkATWRFaq_QQ3Q

Mini Games on there were actually pretty fun

[grizzled lily]

[fringe vigil]

og xbox was too elite

who else found the background music really creepy in the menu of the OG XBOX

[turbid locust]

I have vivid memories of my cousin and his OG Xbox playing Disturbed and Korn on it and us watching the visualizer

[fringe vigil]

YHH

[edgy laurel]

my only console

wait, no thatsa lie lol

[fringe vigil]

xbox OG was the king

[edgy laurel]

forot about my n64

[young void]

The amount of consoles I have sitting around lol

My name is wormm I have tech problem

[fringe vigil]

micrsoft are creepy

https://youtu.be/wchql2Tb4s8?si=ehB9QrCh20tkCpQo we got this when we were kids

[wraith steeple]

We were mostly PS growing up

[fringe vigil]

like wtaf was this sound, so weird and it would talk to you randmoly

[young void]

Apollo sounds ❤️

[fringe vigil]

huh

[young void]

Space is terrifying yiss, thats what you hear on the dashboard

[wraith steeple]

OG Xbox having a P-III is pretty sweet NGL

[turbid locust]

werent the original xbox's just modified Pentiums of the time

[turbid locust]

brainwave

[fringe vigil]

it was so creepy

[young void]

Just happy lil systems

[edgy laurel]

so many

[young void]

Still have 4 xbox 5 if I include the one I gave my brother they all work and read discs after some efforts

[wraith steeple]

You could pop in a Tualatin P-III 1400 if you really wanted too

[edgy laurel]

https://youtu.be/oADANrDGhoQ

[young void]

I tried to find the last original xbox secret

But alas its a mystery I thought maybe something in the boot loader but no hints dead ends, maybe a secret phrase not the handful discovered but something new (not Timmy etc)

[edgy laurel]

i dunno whats up with my memory but n64, PS2 and Xbox

thats what I had

[turbid locust]

We had PS2's cause they doubled as DVD players

[fringe vigil]

I have that really huge Xbox controller they release I think it was the first made

[edgy laurel]

i modded it to run XBMC using a hacked Mech Assault save file

[young void]

Backing up old disc for xemu is also good

[floral hinge]

I had a ps2 that died in a housefire, RIP

[young void]

Just discovered thats Kodi now

[edgy laurel]

had to solder a USB cable on to a memory card to load it

[edgy laurel]

the core of that can be found in Plex too

[wraith steeple]

https://youtu.be/g6RRaduPMBI?si=BLmoOaEXmsYNpkKm

[edgy laurel]

XBMC started a whole ecosystem for HTPC frontends

[young void]

Had my days in high-school programming it lol its wild how things evolve

[wraith steeple]

OH SHIT my family back in the gulf states had one of these

[turbid locust]

I need to raid my parent's house and try to find my PS4 Slim that hasnt been updated since at least this time 2021. I want to jailbreak and try Bloodborne 60fps patch

[young void]

Thats kinda cool ngl didnt know it had that accesory

Omgggg midtown madnesssss

Where’s Driver 3 too

OMGGGG amped

NO wayyyyyyyyyy

[edgy laurel]

best Xbox game hands down

[young void]

Lol yeah buddy

[edgy laurel]

that was the "we're taking a break from Halo for a bit" group game

[topaz veldt]

F word

[young void]

What happened snails?

[wraith steeple]

Yep to be fair VCD was mostly an Eastern World thing

[topaz veldt]

GPU doesn't fit

[young void]

Baaaahumbug

[topaz veldt]

I have a plan but it costs me $250

[edgy laurel]

oh shit

[merry stirrup]

in my opinion

[topaz veldt]

I have a 5090 TUF OC coming on Tues

[merry stirrup]

cut the card with a band saw

[topaz veldt]

Its 5mm shorter

[merry stirrup]

it’s just heatsink

[topaz veldt]

And I buy another Alphacool waterblock and this Master goes on block

sell EK block etc.

[wraith steeple]

[half hinge]

hey yall i'm looking at a pretty good deal on some corsair vengeance ram but i've heard it's like... "unstable"? whats up with that

[young void]

The community is always super helpful as well og xbox peeps are something

[floral hinge]

Nah man sand it down with a belt sander

[topaz veldt]

Or... do I fuck all this and return the 5090 Master, sell the M3 Grater, and put everything back in the Terra w/o GPU

[edgy laurel]

the brand and product line doesn't tell us anything about its stability

[edgy laurel]

You know my vote

[topaz veldt]

Alright, Alphacool block it is with Guiltys vote

[young void]

If it makes you happy ya know

But also send pics if you do that lol

[pure garnet]

i like this idea

another water blocked 5090 for the collection

[topaz veldt]

blah fungging torn

[young void]

One must reflect within great snails 🐌

[topaz veldt]

Like if I return the 5090 Master the TUF OC is another $150 more (for less), if I punt the whole project I am stuck with this SFF case, if I just buy another waterblock its... $250 and problem solved

[wraith steeple]

https://www.reddit.com/r/watercooling/comments/1p1ti4i/i_thought_this_was_cool_just_wanted_to_share/

[fringe vigil]

bro wants to return the 5090 lol why

[pure garnet]

i feel like i’d rather have the master over the tuf oc for $150 more

[young void]

Well if you can float it, I know you got alotta projects going. Just another $250 though I mean

[wraith steeple]

Yeah still not feeling it for the SC block

[topaz veldt]

Other way around

[pure garnet]

oh

[young void]

Snails Master barely didnt fit 🙁

Before sparks gets an out of context lmao had to fix that

[pure garnet]

the tuf coming in is for the 9950x3d pc right?

[topaz veldt]

that's dumb

I have one coming

[pure garnet]

so another master would match the other water cooled system

[topaz veldt]

yeah

but i need a block

[merry stirrup]

https://tenor.com/view/hermes-survival-minecraft-herobrine-gif-23340187

[wraith steeple]

Might be the first person to have an all Singularity Computers loop

[young void]

Cube is all, all that is and ever wasss, all that will beee

[topaz veldt]

@wraith steeple anyone you know who has Alphacool 5090 Gigabyte Gaming/Windforce block in stock?

[low sorrel]

@steel stream wtf solo lobby

how many players in a arc raiders lobby

[wraith steeple]

https://modmymods.com/alphacool-core-geforce-rtx-5090-gaming-windforce-with-backplate-10293.html

Though MMM has a bizzare system of how they meassure stock and it plays into why their shipping times are bipolar

ModMyMods seems to be only ones that have it in stock for US retailers

@topaz veldt here you go boss

[topaz veldt]

says 7-14 days tho

[wraith steeple]

I see. Then it looks like there's no cigar

[topaz veldt]

I will sleep on it

[turbid locust]

Wish I wouldve just bought a bambu the first time lol

[topaz veldt]

Yeah they are nice

[turbid locust]

Genuinely think 99% of people could live with an A1 Mini as their only printer

[young void]

I just got an old hp that does me solid for work stoof and then a thermal printer for ebays

[wraith steeple]

MMM will sometimes send the invoice to the manufacture and then will ship it once they receive said item from Manufacture. Which is odd since it is based on both in house or manufacture's site

That was the case for my Aquacomputer Octo at least

Yeah, IDK it's such a weird system they have

[topaz veldt]

I might call them tomorrow and be like wtf

they are who i got my other master blcok thru

but it was like... ships in 2 days

god damnit they have TUF or Astral block

[fringe vigil]

lol bruh

[fringe vigil]

hahaha

thats my image

[topaz veldt]

I should just return the 5090 Master there's no way its fitting in this case

[young void]

Any other builds you can swap with that'd fit?

[topaz veldt]

I only have 5090 Masters lol

and one 5090 TUF OC

the 5090 TUF OC will fit, but I would need to waterblock this master and I can't fidn a block

[dusty lotus]

then dont put a 5090 in it

[young void]

Tis fair and you still have a few builds so wouldn't hurt any if you do, options

[topaz veldt]

oh ok

[dusty lotus]

https://tenor.com/view/sageyonce-gif-20853661

[topaz veldt]

disappoint

[dusty lotus]

why 5090?

[young void]

Once simply doesn't ask snails why 5090

There just is you see

[turbid locust]

we only use 5090s here

[brisk jolt]

5090 is not a question

Its the answer

[dusty lotus]

i beg to differ

terrible value compared to 80 tier

[turbid locust]

5070Ti was the best value card of this gen

[brisk jolt]

bro comparing top of the line card to half a card

[young void]

[brisk jolt]

70Ti whacks it in the value departmennt like what Mac stated

[turbid locust]

People arent buying 5090's for the price to performance ratio

[edgy laurel]

trust me when I tell you trying to tell 5nail not to put 5090's in every build in the house is a lost cause. this is just how it is

[brisk jolt]

No point of a 80 unless you need the dual encoders

[wraith steeple]

[topaz veldt]

I don't have E money so thats not helpful

[dusty lotus]

80 tier is a perfect balance between overpriced bricks and lower end 70 tier

[brisk jolt]

Ok yeah the exit’s that way

[topaz veldt]

This might be the first time I throw the towel in

[turbid locust]

lmfao so not only are you gonna dog on the 5090, but you're ignorantly prasing the 5080 for "value" lmao

[brave panther]

ah yes i forgot 🥕

[edgy laurel]

80 tier doesn't compete

[dusty lotus]

i guess its much a bigger difference in 50 series

[edgy laurel]

side note, anyone else remember back when we could use these graphs all the time. then they stopped updating them

[brisk jolt]

he doesnt understand the meaning of a 90 class card

[turbid locust]

yeah wtf

[dusty lotus]

i wanted to go 4090 before 50 series released but the price was too much for just a slight difference

[wraith steeple]

Skipping this gen for me

[dusty lotus]

isnt the 5090 like 500-1000 more than the 4090?

[edgy laurel]

they wrote that they need to re-test 30 series and amd 6000 series but that was like 6 months ago

but without those, people have no context

[dusty lotus]

considering i bought my 4080s for like 1200 and the 4090 was over 2k that was terrible value

[turbid locust]

got mine for exactly $1999. iirc because of the timing, 4090's were never really below like 1800-2000?

[edgy laurel]

i paid like $1800 for 4090 over two years ago

[wraith steeple]

$1600 for me

[edgy laurel]

yeah. yeah.

[wraith steeple]

[dusty lotus]

never seen them cheaper than 1800 but keep in mind i use euros and the european market is fucked

[edgy laurel]

i'm pretty sure i had that 4090 in my cart @wraith steeple

[dusty lotus]

some pc parts are overpriced

[turbid locust]

I'm alright with the price I paid for my 5090. ymmv

[dusty lotus]

still not enough value to justify buying one

oh yeah not to forget my psu not being enough if i did get one

[turbid locust]

thats the wonderful thing about opinions

[edgy laurel]

just depends on how much expendable income you dedicate to this hobby

[brisk jolt]

whats with this guy and “value” when we’re talking 90 class cards

[turbid locust]

tbf most people buy based on price to performance ratio, which is the correct way to spend your money in this hobby lol

[dense pelican]

do all psus have slight constant coil whine when you get close to them?

[pure garnet]

bro bought a 4080 for $1200? ouch

[edgy laurel]

if you get close enough in a quiet environment, you're likely to hear something, yes.

[turbid locust]

If I didnt have funny disposable income I wouldve stayed on my 5070Ti

[turbid locust]

I wasnt gonna say anything lol

[dusty lotus]

i dont think a 750w would be enough for a 4090/5090 unless ran with some amd chip that uses black magic to use less than 100w

[pure garnet]

i got you

[edgy laurel]

4090 yes, if it was a good one. not 5090

[dusty lotus]

what was the tdp of 4090

[pure garnet]

450w

[edgy laurel]

450W, though rarely do I see that

[shell void]

probably fine tbh

[pure garnet]

why did you buy a $1200 gpu for the worlds cheapest power supply

[shell void]

especially if youre just using a 7800x3d or 9800x3d

[wraith steeple]

I rarely see mine go above mid 300s

[brisk jolt]

Someone ran a SF750 with a 9800x3d 5090 build- perfectly fine in this case

[shell void]

i wouldnt buy a 750W unit for a system like that but it would probably work

[turbid locust]

idk if I'd be comfortable with a 5090 on a 750W unit even if it was S tier

[dusty lotus]

if i ran both gpu and cpu at full blast that leaves 50w for the rest of the system

[turbid locust]

you could probably get away with 850W

I run 1000W and im not worried at all

[dusty lotus]

under regular loads i get like 400 total system usage

[wise bear]

God I forgot how good plain milk is

[edgy laurel]

peyton

[wise bear]

Hi!

[dusty lotus]

considering my cpu does 100w during that load

unless i run some heavier game like minecraft that generates terrain while running some intensive shader

[wise bear]

no but seriously, what

I didn't do

NUTHIN

[dusty lotus]

i tend to get a lot of the watts on the cpu

because i dont pick amd👎

[wise bear]

cringe

amd is fine, my 9700x is baller

[dusty lotus]

balling

i am fine with my intel life

[wise bear]

Literally
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/jj6Qt3

[dusty lotus]

just little warm here and there

[wraith steeple]

I do have a 285K system

[dusty lotus]

i run the most inefficient chip of lga1700

[wraith steeple]

First Pure air-cooled build I've done in ages

[dusty lotus]

sir

[dense pelican]

what are your temps on the 9700x peyton

[wise bear]

low

[brisk jolt]

I want to get a 265k system but ffs i cant find a z890i nova

[dusty lotus]

ive been aircooling this 14700k since new but i recently switched to aio

[wise bear]

I haven't gotten this thing over 70c yet

[dusty lotus]

at what wattage

[dense pelican]

lol I went with an air cooler because I thought it wouldn't get too hot but I was wrong, atleast in some games

[wise bear]

whatever the higher wattage option is in bios

[dusty lotus]

with the aio i get 85c at 253

[brave panther]

what temps do you get?

[dusty lotus]

with the aircooler it was throttling at 95

[dense pelican]

for example in minecraft i easily hit 79-80 celsius

[wraith steeple]

It's not a problem on my 285K

And I usually do custom loops

[brave panther]

did you peal the plastic off the cooler?

[dense pelican]

ofc

[wise bear]

I put an all-core load and this is what I get after a minute

[turbid locust]

I havent torture tested my 265K but it seemed fine on a PA120 Mini

[wise bear]

pc STRONK

[dusty lotus]

70c at 140

[topaz veldt]

F it guys, we ride. What's another $300. Found a block should ship in a week. 5090 TUF OC goes in the SFF build.

[dense pelican]

I've never had the cpu hit more than 81-82 celsius though

[turbid locust]

my 14900k at full tilt is completely fine on a LF3 360

[wise bear]

yeah seems fine to me

[edgy laurel]

you can't equate die temp to power across different platforms

[topaz veldt]

@edgy laurel you can rest easy, we're making this 5090 work

[dusty lotus]

500 cigarettes

[wise bear]

ew, nicotine

[edgy laurel]

[turbid locust]

my 7700x at 140W was warmer than my 14900k at 240W

[dusty lotus]

i havent heard any news about intel recently

are they ok

[wise bear]

seriously what'd I do :(

all i did was appreciate milk

[turbid locust]

cause they havent done anything worthwhile in 2 generations

[topaz veldt]

265K 5090 TUF OC SFF build let's go

[edgy laurel]

whaaa? oh, just the milk comment out of left field

[wise bear]

I just woke up from a nap and had a glass of milk and went "WOW I forgot how good this shit is"

[brave panther]

chill fella

[topaz veldt]

Does anyone think the Switch 2 will go on sale before eoy?

[wise bear]

maybe

[dusty lotus]

what does one need a switch for

[wise bear]

their children

[brave panther]

switch 2 = steam deck oled?

[wraith steeple]

And no, don't ask "Torrent loop when?" TC2 it's not happening

[dusty lotus]

bad parenting letting kids play on a nintendo

its pc or nothing

[topaz veldt]

Ok

I'll try and get him a PC instead

[wise bear]

$10 you're also a child under 20

[turbid locust]

Man I’m gonna have to get used to not having to stare at my printer 24/7

[topaz veldt]

Happy for you dudes

[wise bear]

hypnotizing, innit

[brisk jolt]

Not sure what valid opinion he has after his take on the 5090 and whatever intel-amd relationship he has

[brave panther]

get him a switch too

[topaz veldt]

He only know nxos

[wise bear]

god that thing must weigh 200lbs

[turbid locust]

It’s such a different experience. The Bambu glaze is justified.

[topaz veldt]

It's true

[wise bear]

bambu ftw

[topaz veldt]

Liars, all of them

[turbid locust]

I oiled the X and Y rails cause they seemed unlubed from factory but other than that literally zero effort from my end

[brave panther]

empty one weighs 150

[wise bear]

yeah it's part of the quickstart guide to lube the rails

[brave panther]

without line cards

[wise bear]

so loaded would be more like 300+

[turbid locust]

I watched the setup video and it didn’t mention it

I just did it from experience with other printers

[wise bear]

I had a little card with my a1 mini that said "pls lube the bed rails"

[brave panther]

i never used a chassis before, all my switches are 1U

[turbid locust]

Bed rails were greased up good

The rails the print head are on were not

[wise bear]

[brave panther]

[edgy laurel]

[devout ridge]

[topaz veldt]

Fucking jorj

[wraith steeple]

Certified Classics Here

[wise bear]

jorj is 100% bald

[topaz veldt]

@wraith steeple FTC saved me

[devout ridge]

i'm so glad i've never said anything stupidly quotable

[wraith steeple]

We're making it out of LTTcord with these

[edgy laurel]

a classic

[turbid locust]

rip pie

[topaz veldt]

Wtf happened to pie

[turbid locust]

Busy with life

[edgy laurel]

he pops up every now and then

[wise bear]

@misty magnet come back

[devout ridge]

a perfectly placed "We know" is the ultimate joke

[wise bear]

did you know that mf has never made a pie

[edgy laurel]

the fact that it was jorj is the best part

[turbid locust]

Last time he talked here I think he was getting slammed by school

[devout ridge]

it's always jorj

[topaz veldt]

45 secs later "wtf is a DDR?"

[edgy laurel]

lmao too true

[devout ridge]

Double Decimal Ratios

[wraith steeple]

Nooooice. I've looked there too and could have sworn it was OOS

[topaz veldt]

It is but just like my TUF block Jesse hooked it up

[edgy laurel]

I keep forgetting to use this to reply to people

[wraith steeple]

[wise bear]

I don't think pepe pays rent either which is the funny part

[indigo walrus]

In Australian Accent: You call that a switch? That's not a switch. That's a software licensing boat anchor. 🤣

[edgy laurel]

even better

[topaz veldt]

That reminds me I need to turn off GFN

[devout ridge]

Get Fucking Naturalized?

[wise bear]

[turbid locust]

@hoary hatch btw the PS2 Combo does not come with the power adapter for the AMS 2

[brave panther]

[edgy laurel]

we never did follow up with this one

[wise bear]

I actually did so @shell void pick a shoe bud

[half hinge]

how much does mobo chipset actually matter?

[topaz veldt]

Remember, you can't hold him to anything. We all remember what he did to Intel.

[brave panther]

yes

[turbid locust]

entirely depends on how much IO you want ngl

[topaz veldt]

Like 6 û

[edgy laurel]

the "soon" part makes it wishywashy

[half hinge]

i'm buying one tomorrow probably

[dusty lotus]

like the cpu does to the entire pc

[slim pebble]

So is there a problem with eye strain with QD-OLED as opposed to WOLED?

Yes I googled, but Reddit is full of morons.

[half hinge]

well damn

[turbid locust]

It depends

On AMD it basically doesn’t matter. On Intel you can lose features.

[edgy laurel]

If it has the lanes to run the devices you want/need, its good enough. If you had more specifics, this might be easier

[dusty lotus]

the bios is operated with the chipset and everything preboot

[half hinge]

i'm tryna pick between the bundle at the top and the one at the very bottom

i can link everything if needed

[dusty lotus]

higher end chipset means more lanes

[edgy laurel]

the chipset specifically is the least of your concerns. any of them are fine

[topaz veldt]

@edgy laurel did you see this one lol. It's this 5090 project concatenated.

[vagrant cargo]

im curious mini led 27 inch monitors were decently priced this year

[turbid locust]

Bottom

[wise bear]

takes one to know one

[indigo walrus]

I really want to see this so... what if I buy a 5070 Ti 16GB card at whatever price, then I resell it to you at $750 USD?

[half hinge]

got it

[turbid locust]

Literally just a better cpu

[vagrant cargo]

im wondering if we might see mini led 32 inch monitors be dropped in price below 900 around ces 2025 where they are revealed

to me it seems odd we dont see much 4k mini leds at 32 inch been revealed

[half hinge]

well yes but at the cost of a worse mobo chipset and... more cost

[shell void]

i got off scot free because it didnt happen soon

[vagrant cargo]

32 inch is the sweet pot for 4k

[wise bear]

nahhh

[edgy laurel]

See @indigo walrus lol

[turbid locust]

B650 and B850 are practically the same for all intents and purposes

[topaz veldt]

B650E doesn't support Zwave

[edgy laurel]

i don'tunderstand what i'm watching lol

[turbid locust]

5nail stfu lmao

[wraith steeple]

[grizzled lily]

does having internal gpu enabled cause any overhead in performance?

[topaz veldt]

That's my ncase sff PC being chucked onto my yard

[brave panther]

https://tenor.com/view/why-are-you-booing-me-im-right-gif-10368876

[wise bear]

no

[vagrant cargo]

im curious this year the focus was on dual mode at 27 inch at 1440p / 4k i want to see companys push for dual mode at 4k mini led at 32 inches

[half hinge]

great, all i needed to know. thanks so much!

[turbid locust]

hmmm that’s weird. I have discord open on my pc but I’m using my phone to type right

[edgy laurel]

worse how? Its nearly identical. 800 series was a minor refresh and rename

[turbid locust]

Discord is sometimes blocking messages as potential spam on desktop, but not mobile

[vagrant cargo]

im kind of curious i might look into 32 inch monitors 4k wise and see what ones are good under 650 price wise

[topaz veldt]

I would only get a B650E if you still need LPT ports

[vagrant cargo]

looking forward to ces 2026 not long now anyways

[wise bear]

omg lpt is finally dying off of boards??

[grizzled lily]

how to verify ifball components are all running as expected what is any software?

[edgy laurel]

B650E specifically was a mistake, they even dropped that for 800 series. Instead just making that x870

[dusty lotus]

had 32 4k for a while myself, good quality but demanding
