I mean the y are apples
they're not pros but they're half offs
for $70 wireless earbuds I don't think you could have a better experience with anybody
unless you're buying something on close out because it's a not current generation.

[proven saddle]

Mine is included in the 2,50

[warped mountain]

But don't you have like a college system where like you don't get to choose what you want to be?
And like you don't really have the option of just not we're going to work and having the taxpayer support you instead?

And a very little pieces is about Australia you may have to educate me a little bit

[livid prairie]

nah there’s centrelink in australia, it’s like government funding for jobless or disabled ppl

it’s like 100 a day i think though

[warped mountain]

.... Have you seen USA fragmented ass everybody has a different standard State system... There's a reason that community colleges have over 60% of their enrollment in below college level classes.... The only time you see anything standard education is when you get to college level and if your school was 3 years behind that guess who gets to spend 3 years catching up....

[livid prairie]

kinda rough in this economy

[proven saddle]

Like Harz IV in Germany?

[livid prairie]

dunno anything abt germany

[warped mountain]

No, but also yes. So for instance the price of gold goes up .... no that's not what happend ... the US Dollars buying power decreased.... Which is why seeing record gold prices in the United States is terrifying...

[proven saddle]

Jobless get around the same or more as a full time job

[livid prairie]

that’s a bit stupid

[warped mountain]

Hold on hold on hold on... Do you make two MC crispies a day.. that all the money you make?

How much is monthly rent? Here it's about 80-160hrs pay.. depending on rent prices versus what you're earning

[proven saddle]

ye

[proven saddle]

All paid and i get foodand such

[livid prairie]

32/1tb with oled for 1.7k aud

[proven saddle]

The 133 a month are for self use

[livid prairie]

that’s surprisingly not that poor for black Friday

[warped mountain]

Yeah ours is $392 a day if you pop out 4 kids. And say u don't know who the daddy is.

[proven saddle]

Maybe gona buy a nee mobo and then wait for money for a cpu

[livid prairie]

400 to sustain 5 ppl is really rough too

us cost of living is a lot better than aus tho, idk

[warped mountain]

Huh? What r u trying to tell me

[warped mountain]

per DAY ...

[fringe vigil]

[warped mountain]

That was for u

[fringe vigil]

152 cad in the LTT store is crazy

[warped mountain]

Ehh, yes, no, yes, but no if u have an iPhone I can use the special codecs ..

[warped mountain]

Considering their substantially limited inventory now that sounds really low

[proven saddle]

?

[warped mountain]

Wtf r u doin??

[proven saddle]

I get what is after the rent and food bills

[proven saddle]

Mobo

My one has sometimes usb issues

[warped mountain]

Oh ... Yeah u make WAYYY more than most US then

[warped mountain]

Oh. I thought you were saying you were going to get a new platform motherboard and then wait for CPUs for that motherboard to go on sale and I was like that's silly..

[proven saddle]

Us or US?

[proven saddle]

Ye a msi b550 or such

This one

Ifi get allowance to buy it

Bc it half what i currently have

[glacial osprey]

When will they release 6090?

[proven saddle]

Next year prob

[glacial osprey]

Nah already?

[proven saddle]

I have 197 euros and tvis is 107

[warped mountain]

Uhh US.. assuming they make double minimum wage. so after food (thrifty USDA bare minimum) and rent ($1,200) they would have.. $695 per month, take the utilities out of $250 a month.

Can't buy healthcare with the $445 left over so yeah . I assume u have health care?

[proven saddle]

Kinda

[warped mountain]

Hold on so you don't have a CPU that can go into this motherboard? If you insist on buying one and then the other by the CPU first it's easier to resell!

[proven saddle]

Yes the 1 typ

[warped mountain]

Yes you're doing better than Americans making double the minimum wage. They bought healthcare they would be negative every month.

[proven saddle]

Cpu first?

[proven saddle]

Whats the min wage?

Per hour

[warped mountain]

If you do not have a CPU that can go into that motherboard that you posted.. yes buy the CPU first. CPUs are easier to resell if something happens to where you can't buy the motherboard.

[warped mountain]

$7.25/hr

[proven saddle]

Uh i have the ryzen 1600x but idk if it can support

[warped mountain]

You'll have to check

[proven saddle]

In Germany it is nearly 13 euros per hour

[warped mountain]

All I'm saying is if you buy the motherboard and then you can't buy the CPU later you're going to lose so much money on the motherboard..

If you buy the CPU and then can't buy the motherboard later you're not going to lose that much money on the CPU.

[warped mountain]

So double

[fringe vigil]

Should I get an Xbox controller or continue using my 8bitdo hmmm

[warped mountain]

Right this second Xbox because they're like 60% off

Or 40% whatever there's like 30 bucks

Inside the usual 70-$80

[fringe vigil]

The 8bit connects with everything though

Emulation and any platform

[warped mountain]

The Xbox does too.

[fringe vigil]

Really

[warped mountain]

Oh wait u mean like PlayStation and other stuff like that?

[fringe vigil]

Like emulation games

Or modding

[warped mountain]

Yeah you mean like connect to like a PC or tablet or a phone?

[proven saddle]

Cant i need min 3600

I wish I could get more money

[warped mountain]

Okay so then I would still buy the CPU before you buy the motherboard the CPU will be easier to resell if something comes up.

[proven saddle]

Oh ok

[fringe vigil]

Yh

[warped mountain]

Yes everything that I just listed the Xbox controller can connect to.

[fringe vigil]

Is it 2.4GHZ

[warped mountain]

I think the new ones are pretty reliable. I tend to like mine.
You only ever issue that I annoyed me was their price but right now literally 29 to $39.99.

[warped mountain]

Bluetooth, or you can connect it up over type c

[fringe vigil]

No connection only wireless

[warped mountain]

People like playing games on their iPhones with them

[warped mountain]

Okay so should work fine with PC, tablet, and phones over Bluetooth

[proven saddle]

Nice

Only iPhones?

[zenith fog]

Man 200 for 32gb ddr4 ram is disgusting

[fringe vigil]

Ram prices are fcked

[proven saddle]

For me its 300

Like it just came out

[zenith fog]

I bought my 2x32gb kit for $100 😭

[hidden birch]

I just sold some old RAM for more than I bought it for last year

[zenith fog]

I might sell my kit for 150 and make a lil bit back

Also this is a good deal

[brave panther]

nowadays yes

but i advise not running 4 sticks of ram in a dual channel platform

[fringe vigil]

If u find 64gb ddr5 g skill for 100 let me know

[edgy laurel]

wishful thinking

2x32GB wasn't 100 even when RAM was cheap(er)

[warped mountain]

Androids, tablets, iPads, PC, Mac

[proven saddle]

Nice

[proven saddle]

Buy direct

[fringe vigil]

MF ram prices mfs why they do this to me

[proven saddle]

For ai shit

[fringe vigil]

It’s not acceptable

[zenith fog]

You could find a slower kit of 32gb used for like 40 usd

[proven saddle]

Ye I wanr to swithc my ddr4 cooled with papaer

[ripe fable]

Does different thermal paste quality matter?

Like corsair has like basic, high and extreme tiers

[topaz veldt]

Not much

[ripe fable]

How many degrees less would it be

[turbid locust]

@topaz veldt what do you think about the O11 Mini V2

[topaz veldt]

Haven't used it yet but looks good

[turbid locust]

I’ve never used a dual chamber case

[topaz veldt]

@turbid locust I'm really liking this NCase M3

[turbid locust]

Seems interesting

[young void]

[topaz veldt]

Dual chamber is cool so long as the motherboard side is deep enough to fit large GPUs

[turbid locust]

I’m just trying to figure out what options I could have for a ram fan in that case

[grizzled lily]

guys spiderman 2 causing black screen issue or crashing my 9950 and 9070xt combo. All drivers should be fixed and I have expo on. What could be the reason?

im running high settings not even very high, also it seems only when I go in menus to switch outfits and skills

[fringe vigil]

Why is Lack Friday so ass

Black

[edgy laurel]

when has it ever not been

[fringe vigil]

Hm

[grizzled lily]

facts

[ashen nacelle]

Anyone know what a RX 9070 Steel legend used would go for trying to sell it for a 5080 upgrade 😅

[grizzled lily]

maybe around 300 to 400 range

[brave panther]

20% less than the current price in store

[slim solstice]

Why is synth slicer a likely spammer

[grizzled lily]

discord has a warrant out for me

[ashen nacelle]

Bet I spend like 570 euros for mine brand new

[ashen nacelle]

Kk ty

[grizzled lily]

yea i was going to spend 1000 dollars on it but based on performance percentages I decided to not go that route, plus i didnt even have a decent monitor

[ashen nacelle]

1000 dollars is crazy I bought mine in the uk for 500 pounds and was worth it tbh I have 4k monitor and shi but tbh I’m a EFT main game player and I was kinda expecting better

So upgrading to 5080 I think will be better

[grizzled lily]

wow, trump got us cooked

[ashen nacelle]

I’m also debating downgrading or upgrading idk but my monitor from 4k 144 to 1440 240

Just for better gaming experience I feel like my 4k is too big when I play. Tarkov

[topaz veldt]

When I was a kid black Friday was a real thing but you had to go out and wait in lines

[ashen nacelle]

Like I have to turn my head to see enemies in corners

[fringe vigil]

Black Friday g

[grizzled lily]

yea 1440 240 with oled deals are going on

[ashen nacelle]

Pretty much Yh 5080 here is like 900 euros

[ashen nacelle]

That’s what I’m thinking so surely all that plus ryzen 7 9800x3d should run the game really nicely

[ashen nacelle]

G7 any good ?

[reef grove]

If the price difference is 200€, between the 5070ti and the 5080, what would be more "worth it" for 1440p gaming? Acquiring a monitor and the 5070ti or the 5080

[ashen nacelle]

Idk much about good monitors

[pure garnet]

the 5070ti

[edgy laurel]

5070Ti

[pure garnet]

the 5080 is only like 10-15% faster

[reef grove]

I felt really bad for missing the local sale of a gainward 5080 for 999€ but... then again I got one year more (then the 5080wouldve had) warranty on my 5070ti and i bought a new monitor instead. So that was the better choice, yes? (I wrnt from fhd 60hz to qhd 180hz)

[grizzled lily]

yea or msi or acer predator

[pure garnet]

the 5070ti is a better value

[reef grove]

Does it run well in a pcie 4.0 slot? 🥺

I dont have a motherboard with pcie 5.0

[ripe fable]

True, basically performs like a 4080 super

[ashen nacelle]

Bet

[pure garnet]

yeah

[ashen nacelle]

But the price difference is pretty much same %

No ?

[ripe fable]

Would a gen 4 riser cable into a gen 5 slot affect the 5070 ti performance?

[edgy laurel]

no

[pure garnet]

33% more for 15% more performance

[reef grove]

Phew am i glad to hear that. Thank you 😊

[ripe fable]

Look for open box versions. Those are on a larger sale

[reef grove]

It costs around 20ish percent more here then the 5070ti, on black friday atleast

Is 829 a good price for the 5070ti?

[edgy laurel]

guy added a second power connector to his 5090 Extreme Waterforce https://www.reddit.com/r/watercooling/comments/1p8t0j9/modded_aorus_5090_xtreme_added_2nd_power/

[pure garnet]

is there not one for 750

[ripe fable]

Msi shadow is msrp

[ripe fable]

Msi and asus prime only

[reef grove]

I bought an asus prime

[ripe fable]

You overpaid

[reef grove]

For 829 (but with an extended warrenty and in a prebuilt)

[pure garnet]

does europe not have paris new york technologies inc

[reef grove]

Never heard of that before 🤔

[ripe fable]

I’m canadian so idk

[reef grove]

Do they sell a ryzen 5080?

😏

[pure garnet]

it’s PNY

[ripe fable]

Ryzen 4070*

[ripe fable]

Oh that

[edgy laurel]

what

[pure garnet]

the other ztt coined that one

[ripe fable]

Yeah we do have that. But it’s 850 sadly

[ashen nacelle]

For me it’s a 20% price difference

[reef grove]

So is 829 for it, in a prebuilt with a longer warranty, too much?

[ashen nacelle]

True but idm paying for a sealed ngl got a better job now so I can afford it

[pure garnet]

if it’s with an extended warranty it’s probably fine

[ripe fable]

Yes. You’ll get a normal warranty from the manufacturer which pretty much is the same

[reef grove]

How long is normal warranty?

[ripe fable]

If the extended warranty ends at the same time as the normal brand then yeah you overpaid

[reef grove]

How many years is normal warranty

[ripe fable]

Gpu’s have a 3 year warranty

[reef grove]

F#ck.

[ripe fable]

There ya go

[reef grove]

I paid 89€ extra for the third year. AND the graphics card cost 829€

[grizzled lily]

paris is ruined with pickpockets so ur 5080 might get pockted

[ripe fable]

https://tenor.com/view/ishowspeed-meme-trying-not-to-laugh-laugh-homeless-gif-9458928528704746136

[reef grove]

Aw man. I heard a few things like that about the seller, but then again its a prebuilt company

I bought my entire pc for around 2000€

[ripe fable]

Did it ship?

Can you still cancel the order

[reef grove]

Didnt ship yet. But if i cancel it now, the ram price for me is going to skyrocket

[ripe fable]

Ok nevermind

Worth it

[reef grove]

So i paid 64€ for 32 gigs of ddr5

What id save on the graphics card and the motherboard and the warranty, the 3 things i think they overcharged, id get that back with the ram cost

[ripe fable]

That is like 200 less than normal

Basically the warranty covered the ram 💀 💀 💀

[reef grove]

They werent hit by RAMaggedon by that point

Its kingston fury beast 6000mhz ddr5

[ripe fable]

Ram is ram

Doesn’t make a difference

[reef grove]

They basically had a gigantic stockpile of them at the cheaper prices. Then the blackfriday hit, people bought tons of pcs, the stock they had dropped and now they had to increase the prices, like everyone else

[ripe fable]

Only things i’d consider to look for are psu ratings

[reef grove]

Its now between 200-400€ for that much

[pure garnet]

well

[reef grove]

So i guess ill just leave it all as is, not cancel anything. If the 5070ti is the best value option for me id stay with it

[ripe fable]

Yeah CL36, etc exists

[pure garnet]

hynix definitely makes a superior product

[ripe fable]

Never heard of that brand

[reef grove]

How much airflow should my cooler have, for a 7800X3D and a 5070ti though

Aircooler*

[pure garnet]

a 7800x3d can be cooled with a light breeze

[ripe fable]

Me sitting with a 9950x3d on a 140mm aio

[reef grove]

Its rated for 250W tdp

[pure garnet]

it runs hot but doesn’t actually pull power

[reef grove]

So my deepcool wouldve sufficed...? If its for 120w tdp?

I changed mine up for one from the Seller, a selfmade one that was recommended to me, 250W TDP with an air runthrough of max 115m³ /h .

The previous one I had that was also the standart one that wouldve come free (i think) was a DeepCool Gammaxx C40 with max 56m³/h of air.

[dapper junco]

Yea, in reality the 7800x3d outputs like 88w of heat

[wraith steeple]

Very interesting use of the Mora Tank Reservoir

[edgy laurel]

what tubing is this

[reef grove]

Im starting to get more and more of the feeling they mightve upsold me a lot more then what I needed perhaps 🥲

[edgy laurel]

also omg but does he still have the peels on that godlike...????

[ripe fable]

Was the asus prime card labeled as OC?

[wraith steeple]

Some EPDM tubing in 10/16 size I would imagine

[edgy laurel]

is that what it is? He said this in the description

Pumps: 2x Aquacomputer D5 Next

Reservoir & tops: Watercool HEATKILLER Tank 200 D5

[wraith steeple]

Since I do see some Koolance QDCs

[reef grove]

I dont think so 🤔

[wraith steeple]

Yep those were made for the MORA IV
https://shop.watercool.de/MO-RA-IV-Tank-200-D5_1

[ripe fable]

Oversold

[edgy laurel]

Oh, didn't even realize thats a HAVN HS420

[dapper junco]

I mean I would considered the OC version oversold at that price too

it barely overclocks for you

[glass scroll]

What would you guys use to clean off old thermal paste before reapplying?

[ripe fable]

If the OC version is the same price as the normal then yeah go for it

[edgy laurel]

iso and an old t-shirt

[glass scroll]

👌

[reef grove]

I mean I do understand if a prebuilt is a bit more expensive then just the parts and I do live in europe where things seemed differently priced, but now im getting a bit worried here 😅

I think imma go through the parts list for a second on PartPicker and have a look if I should be concerned afterall

[wraith steeple]

I bet this is from McMaster-Carr or Heatkiller.
Probably the former

[reef grove]

Could I send you the parts/prices for the ones that dont exist and you can tell me if it was a good deal or not?

[ripe fable]

Prebuilts are good nowadays if you don’t have time to research the parts, or time to build it.

[reef grove]

Im also (if that was hard to tell) entirely clueless on a lot of the finer things

But would you mind if i sent you the partslist with prices?

[topaz veldt]

Epdm

Same as this, 10/16

[wraith steeple]

Yep Definitely McMaster-Carr

[reef grove]

Yeah it seems i actually ended up saving on a lot of parts. While some like the GPU were overpriced, the others were quite a bit cheaper so it evened out in the end to be quite a bit cheaper or around the same, depending on which website I use to compare. 😌

[civic reef]

The H610 has PCIe 4.0 at the very least, though that's the only good thing I can say about it

[turbid locust]

I’ve still not seen anything the $80 LTT screwdriver can do that my $25 ifixit kit can’t

[pure garnet]

my ifixit kit is rounded off on a fair few bits now so i was tempted to grab one since i only use it on pcs anyway

this is true

[pure garnet]

i just got my ocf and now i have the b850 mlg + z790 mpower otw

[slim pebble]

52 cores will be worth the wait.

[shell void]

yeah but ill just keep buying things until then because im irresponsible

[frank cypress]

the quad 2080ti dream might be back

[pure garnet]

how’s the $1200 ssd

[slim pebble]

I thought about snagging one of these super cheap Black Friday ARL deals. But the best upgrade I can do right now is a monitor.

[shell void]

lifechanging

[low sorrel]

How much do they even cost nowadays

[shell void]

never going back to stinky nand

[frank cypress]

200

[steel stream]

yooooo whatttttt

[frank cypress]

did you buy an optane ssd...?

[slim pebble]

What did you get?!

[shell void]

yah im using a 1.6TB P5800X atm

[frank cypress]

jesus

[pure garnet]

i wanted to do a 9800x3d for $360 but my student discount wouldn’t apply

[young void]

He's on beast mode rn

[frank cypress]

ballinnn

[pure garnet]

so i’ll just run the 7800x3d and cry

[low sorrel]

Micheal did you get the 5060ti or no

[pure garnet]

none of us did

[shell void]

naw bro i tried but it went from 15 in stock to OOS in <5 seconds

they were botted

[frank cypress]

ah shit gotta leave the house now bye guys

[young void]

I didnt even check but I heard within 30 seconds

[shell void]

it was instant

[low sorrel]

I didn't know if you were supposed to use the mobile app for door busters

[pure garnet]

i never even saw the price

[shell void]

i should just setup a shop bot instead of coping

[steel stream]

yeah i used to get 5% at newegg but they got rid of the edu promo code

[low sorrel]

I didn't even get to see the price

[pure garnet]

msi does a flat uhhh

[low sorrel]

Real shit

[pure garnet]

10-20% iirc? but only on non sale items

[low sorrel]

If you can't beat em join em

[shell void]

adapt to your environment or die

[steel stream]

damn

[pure garnet]

it’s fine my 7800x3d works

[steel stream]

i should have bought my 5070 ti through msi

[pure garnet]

just not my tomahawk

🔥🔥🔥

then i need to have a closet liquidation sale

[slim pebble]

Need to see a crystal disk of that!

[shell void]

an interesting quirk about using w10 without chipet drivers is that the clock locks on my 9800x3d without having to force it

it's just at 5425MHz 1.2v 24/7

[shell void]

it's nerfed by 9800X3D hard

[pure garnet]

so how is that connected to your pc

[low sorrel]

PayPal does a 20% cashback real for one item during black Friday afaik

[shell void]

https://www.amazon.com/LetLinkSo-Adapter-SFF-8639-Cable-15Pin/dp/B0DGFCXZ7Y/

[low sorrel]

Up to 250$

[shell void]

4TB SN8100 on left, 1.6TB P5800X on right in the same PC

the P5800X is ~3x lower latency and ~3x higher random throughput, and it's bottlenecked by the 9800X3D

[proven saddle]

speedy

[pure garnet]

does this require a credit check

if not a 9800x3d for 360 seems fire

but i’m not dinging my report for a processor

[shell void]

it would be single digit latency and 105K+ iops on a 14900KS

i wonder when we'll reach the point where it doesnt scale anymore

[low sorrel]

No clue Google it

[pure garnet]

google barely works on the ship wifi won’t lie

every other page loads fine

[low sorrel]

You're still on a ship?

[pure garnet]

till the 30th

sunday to sunday cruise

we’re on the way back now

[low sorrel]

I googled and it said soft credit check

[hoary hatch]

@shell void @low sorrel did y'all score

[topaz veldt]

Christmas tree acquired

[low sorrel]

No fuck newegg

Fuck bots I'm joining them next time

[pure garnet]

i’ll think about it then

[topaz veldt]

what are you hunting

[low sorrel]

The 5060ti for 100 bucks eariler

[topaz veldt]

oh interesting

[hoary hatch]

They had 5 in stock right

[low sorrel]

25

[topaz veldt]

I might buy another 9800X3D

[low sorrel]

Buy a tv with it

[topaz veldt]

I'd pickup a 9800X3D if I could decide on an mITX AM5 board

[pure garnet]

i literally just got a tv

[low sorrel]

Refund and get the cashback

[topaz veldt]

they take the cashback back

it posts to your paypal account as cashback, you have to redeem it - if you return it, they deduct the cashback from your balance if not balance it goes on your credit

[merry stirrup]

thankful for my balenci reps

[low sorrel]

Cool

[topaz veldt]

that minecraft?

[merry stirrup]

more like creative mode++

seems to be more focused on creating like massive structures and such

[steel stream]

follow in my lead, anotha one

[pure garnet]

no oled till move

[slim pebble]

Gods above, those IOPS!

[topaz veldt]

Damn flopps, B650E-I $179

[pure garnet]

i have that in my sisters pc

[topaz veldt]

the board?

[pure garnet]

yeah

[topaz veldt]

kinda silly to buy a b650e at this point

[pure garnet]

if it’s the strix b650e-i

[topaz veldt]

but low price - yeah

321URX $729 at B&H

[pure garnet]

i think memory wise people do 8k on it

[topaz veldt]

I am still debating 265K vs 9800X3D

[merry stirrup]

i’ve seen cheaper

[slim pebble]

How is your 8100 so slow? It should look more like this.

[merry stirrup]

i passed up one for 110$ with box and such

[pure garnet]

honestly if i didn’t have the y40 id just have got that over the msi

[merry stirrup]

all cpu baby

[topaz veldt]

at 4K the 9800X3D is like 1.1% better FPS thatn 265K

[low sorrel]

https://tenor.com/view/nathan-fillion-oh-wait-uhm-gif-5233870

[pure garnet]

itx in atx is ugly but it does ram and doesn’t have the asrock bios

[topaz veldt]

I bet tuned 265K its possibly faster than stock 9800X3D

[merry stirrup]

a lot of the high end 4 dimmers at least of the refresh stuff can do 8K so

[low sorrel]

snail did you enjoy your soggy bread shoved up and stuffed into a turkey's asshole last night

[shell void]

you didnt use the same testing criteria

click profile, then click real world performance

then run the test again

[topaz veldt]

We don't do that

I actually cannot stand stuffing

We had a modified Thanksgiving last night - still nice, but not our usual affair with my mom sick

[low sorrel]

god damnit this was supposed to be rage bait

[topaz veldt]

We usually go to my parents for Thanksgiving but yeah she's not doing well at all

[grizzled lily]

98

[topaz veldt]

I already have the 265K w/ mobo, however

[merry stirrup]

i’d just keep the 265K

[low sorrel]

get both

[topaz veldt]

You know it's funny you say that...

[slim pebble]

That did it! 🤣 mine are slightly higher but in that range.

[topaz veldt]

Its funny how solid the 265K is but I have like... some mental issue where I am like "yeah but"

[shell void]

prolly a lil higher because your ryzen 9 clocks higher

and also newer windows version

[slim pebble]

Linux

[shell void]

ah

[slim pebble]

Kdiskmark is the same thing lol

[low sorrel]

So Micheal you think it's a good sign that my PC crashes and my fans goes to max rpm at bios defaults

[turbid locust]

I have like a 100% success rate with this btw

[shell void]

if only this didnt have a 60Hz IPS panel

[topaz veldt]

i know i know

[shell void]

it kills me

[turbid locust]

I’m 99.99% sure I said I would never buy a C4, ARL, and 5090

[shell void]

120Hz OLED macbook air would be so juicy

[topaz veldt]

I definitely at some point said I wasn't going to buy a bunch of 5090s

[slim pebble]

Same. I said I wasn’t going to wait for or buy a 9950X3D

[young void]

Same but the in laws like it so

[slim pebble]

I also said I’d go Arrow Lake until the first tests came out and it was worse than Raptor in like every test.

[shell void]

it's better in pretty much everything except stock gaming performance

[merry stirrup]

very true

[shell void]

cpu market been on snooze since 2022 tho

[pure garnet]

so the only metric 90% of the reviewers use fr

[shell void]

nothing is a legitimate upgrade from a 13900K outside of niche use cases like a particular MMO or racing sim that loves cache

[pure garnet]

catgirls mentioned

[topaz veldt]

the testing is kind of flawed and narrow, ARL is better in almost every way other than like COD/Warzone 1080P

[topaz veldt]

the only upgrade from a 13900K that's worth it is one without holes burned thru it

[turbid locust]

Praying my green stick kit makes 9000MTs magically attainable

[slim pebble]

Yes. They fixed a lot of problems with the chip at launch though.

[turbid locust]

but yeah @shell void keep me company tn shawty

[shell void]

i need an adult

[turbid locust]

I just need someone to keep me locked in bro

Besides I have no clue wtf I’m doing on cpu side

vDIMM go brrr

but cpu? what?

[shell void]

idk either dude

raptorlake is baby mode compared to arrowlake

[low sorrel]

I said I was never going to buy a 5060ti and uhh it's still true

[shell void]

and ive never tuned g2 ddr5, let alone on intel

[merry stirrup]

raptor lake is actually just pain so

[shell void]

it's extremely easy to cpu tune raptorlake imo

[merry stirrup]

cpu? yes

[shell void]

as long as you can use intel xtu

i can get any chip dialed in within like 15 minutes and then start stress testing

[candid dock]

Linus should release an upgradable Steam Machine with SteamOS through Framework.

[shell void]

sounds like an expensive niche toy

[merry stirrup]

what is linus going to do

guy in tc1 has failed the first step of stress testing

cannot download cruncher

[low sorrel]

Hmm 200 dollar 7600...

Nah

[shell void]

fuh no

[turbid locust]

@merry stirrup show me the light tn

[low sorrel]

Man black Friday fucking sucks ass

[green marsh]

positive thing about the RAM price explosion is that DDR4 is again cheaper than DDR5 /s

[low sorrel]

@pure garnet https://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails?ItemList=Combo.4841154

[topaz veldt]

Its not hard really

[turbid locust]

It is with Mac bin

[topaz veldt]

SA 1.35 - 1.42, if it takes more than that the CPU sucks

mem controller 1.45

[merry stirrup]

as in, won’t do 9K

[turbid locust]

I have no proof that 8400 even works

[merry stirrup]

now that is sadness

[low sorrel]

Oh right

[topaz veldt]

what mem kit

[turbid locust]

god kit

[topaz veldt]

yeah so load asus apex 8400 16GB 1.5 or whatever

the preset, make sure it sets mem to 8400

leave everything else auto, if that doesn't work sell everything

[turbid locust]

I don’t have H24M. I was gonna buy some but now you need a small loan for some decent bin

[turbid locust]

…I did

[turbid locust]

lol you got it

[topaz veldt]

it didn't karhu?

[turbid locust]

Errored at 7%

[topaz veldt]

that is not good

[turbid locust]

[topaz veldt]

But also my 6000 CL26 kit did not like high speeds either

its happy at 8000 CL32, but it didn't like 8800-9000

[merry stirrup]

because they’re only binned for tcl

[topaz veldt]

righht

[merry stirrup]

they’re the epeen kit

[low sorrel]

I take that back 1000 cad 42" c5 is pretty good

Too bad I don't want nor care for an OLED TV

[topaz veldt]

TCL makes great TVs

[merry stirrup]

sometimes yeah

idk i got 2 id have to say i agree

[mild sandal]

Are these a steal?

[merry stirrup]

kinda yeah tbh

what about 5070ti tho

[topaz veldt]

9070s are just so "yeah ok"

[mild sandal]

Microcenters ui is ass I'm trying to filter just those too rn

[topaz veldt]

Select nvidia first

hurray!

[low sorrel]

Yip yip

[mild sandal]

Picking the gpu is done, now I just gotta convince myself this is a good financial decision...

[topaz veldt]

9070 XT?

[mild sandal]

70ti is 150 bucks more

I could sell my 6700xt and get some money back ...

[hoary hatch]

@steel stream S95F looks amazing

[hoary hatch]

I got mine for $699

Best buy has some 9070XT for $699 💀

[topaz veldt]

I feel like the 5070 Ti is a better buy

[hoary hatch]

Hm

[topaz veldt]

No DV 🙁

[mild sandal]

Costs 25% more, but has more upscaling or whatever nonsense Nvidia is developing...

[whole coral]

My mom might pay $65 a month for YouTube TV

[topaz veldt]

DLSS > FSR imho

[whole coral]

We could literally save $80 a month or so

[turbid locust]

Bro said “imho” like it isn’t fact lmao

[topaz veldt]

well FSR 4 is decent

[turbid locust]

Still worse than transformer

[topaz veldt]

Sure but its cheaper

but its not cheap enough to offset IMHO

[turbid locust]

The 4 in FSR 4 is how many games it’s in

[hoary hatch]

B5 48" $530 🤔

[strange ginkgo]

i don't like frame gen at all no matter who it's coming from

[turbid locust]

Greatly depends on the game tbh

[topaz veldt]

OK

[merry stirrup]

that’s not what we’re talkin about

[turbid locust]

Can’t mention upscaling tech without someone screaming about FG we know this

[merry stirrup]

i mean kinda but not the main thing lol

[hoary hatch]

Is snail telling me to buy a B5

[merry stirrup]

😭”fake frames!!” man i’m just upscaling

[hoary hatch]

B series man, feels so un premium

[turbid locust]

deadass

[merry stirrup]

lmfao 😭

[turbid locust]

Like yeah I was against upscaling too when all I ever knew was FSR 2.2

[merry stirrup]

type shit

[turbid locust]

Do I think some dev teams are using it as a crutch and it should be addressed? Yeah.

Like me not finding what I consider acceptable settings in BL4 is insane

[hoary hatch]

This is suspiciously cheap

[merry stirrup]

this yart hitting as fuck rn

[merry stirrup]

bro somehow tarkov broke dlss and fsr so now i just have to use taa grossness i want to die.

[turbid locust]

lol

But yeah flopper like

[shell void]

it is

[turbid locust]

chill in vc with me later tuning ARL bro

[merry stirrup]

bl4 menus are so bad idk how they do it

[shell void]

i wouldnt buy a B series unless it's the 48" $500 unit for a bedroom TV

55"+ C5 is substantially brighter and has better processsing

[merry stirrup]

where

[turbid locust]

I mean DLSS Balanced + FG on a 5090 and still not having stable 1% lows is nuts

[hoary hatch]

S84F 🤔

[shell void]

i think that's just the samsung equivalent of a b series

[merry stirrup]

berry blast

[shell void]

grandma asked me for a tv recommendation

i told her to get a 65" LG C5

[turbid locust]

I dunno maybe just DM call idk

I just need someone to keep me sane so I actually tune this damn platform instead of getting bored and quitting after an hour lol

[shell void]

this is a pretty good value if anyone wants a $500 TV

[pure garnet]

mfs will complain about fake frames and then play a cheated rasterized game

[merry stirrup]

lmfao

[low sorrel]

man why are all the good black friday deals on shit I don't want

i don't want a ps5 or a tv

[merry stirrup]

we all knew this was going to be shit deal central

everything i saw on amazon was a fake sale

[turbid locust]

real

[turbid locust]

everything on Amazon has been on the same sale for a week now lol

[low sorrel]

tf you mean a ps5 and fornite bundle? FORTNITE IS FREE???

[topaz veldt]

what happaned to your g305 setup

[strange ginkgo]

thats still a lot of money. what will you use it for?

[pure garnet]

[turbid locust]

still WIP (I broke my OG G305 disassembling it)

[pure garnet]

plex

[topaz veldt]

🙁

[low sorrel]

oh... thats uh

[turbid locust]

well not really “broke” but I just don’t feel like soldering shit rn

I don’t have a good soldering setup atm

[topaz veldt]

just get a weller

[pure garnet]

pinecil time

[topaz veldt]

no

none of that new fangled horseshit

[turbid locust]

But it works out cause I was planning on building one for my brother too anyway. So I ordered another G305

[topaz veldt]

Nice

[turbid locust]

That’s what I have

[topaz veldt]

oh they are cheap af

[turbid locust]

yeah I considered buying like 4 lmao

[merry stirrup]

link to specs? that new corsair mouse looks great imo

[topaz veldt]

This?

[fringe vigil]

Zootopia 2 is out woo

[turbid locust]

yup

[topaz veldt]

and its good?

[low sorrel]

this is what i need

[pure garnet]

kinda heavy stock but the sensor is good

[hoary hatch]

65" for $900 tho

[turbid locust]

Good enough internals to sacrifice. Decent 1000hz sensor.

[pure garnet]

i keep one in my backpack

[topaz veldt]

word will keep it in mind

[turbid locust]

Literally buying one to gut it for custom shit

[merry stirrup]

[hoary hatch]

It's the definition of "nothing to complain about"

[strange ginkgo]

oh it already arrived?

[hoary hatch]

It's not the best in any category tho but that's okay

[pure garnet]

yeah i always link it to friends

[turbid locust]

But yeah a bunch of custom 3D Printed mouse designs use like fuckin $120 mice internals like

fuck that lol. I’m not spending $120 on a mouse to gut it.

[topaz veldt]

well thats a 5090 TUF OC, but I was planning on putting a 5090 Master Ice in that but it didn't fit, and yeah it arrived on Tues this past week

[merry stirrup]

same specs as corsair mouse i’m looking at i figure most diff is in shape

[hoary hatch]

Which Corsair mouse

[merry stirrup]

newest ultra light thing

[hoary hatch]

Newest ultra light thing is a terrible name

[merry stirrup]

scyrox v8 is what i have and shill personally

[pure garnet]

i went back to my viper

[merry stirrup]

sabre v2 ultralight

[pure garnet]

la-1 is cool but playing league with its loud ass clicks was disturbing

[merry stirrup]

buy 2$ silent switches

and you’ll have enough to do 4 more mouses lol

[pure garnet]

oh the viper is actually on sale rn

[strange ginkgo]

i had no idea plex servers are that demanding

[pure garnet]

too bad it’s same day delivery

[topaz veldt]

they aren't

[narrow gate]

Is it corsair psu

[topaz veldt]

yes

[pure garnet]

can you schedule delivery on amazon

[topaz veldt]

no

You can like differ prime to "normal" but not a time

[turbid locust]

That one, my R6, and the crazylight are damn near the same shape

[pure garnet]

yeah i just need a few days delay

[turbid locust]

which it lowkey doesn’t matter cause I fingertip grip so

[topaz veldt]

sometimes theres a "I don't need it that fast" option

[turbid locust]

Yeah sometimes they offer like a dollar or something to do slower

Sometimes since I have their credit card, theyll offer 6% back instead of 5% if I wait an extra day

I’ve seen 7% offered too

[strange ginkgo]

i could once pick the date when i wanted it to be delivered i don't think it's always an option

[narrow gate]

I should try -40 with my 5800x3d

[turbid locust]

No

[narrow gate]

Yes

[pure garnet]

yeah i can do monday which works

just debating if i need another viper

[turbid locust]

Why did you even ask

[narrow gate]

I wrote. No asking:)

[turbid locust]

just wasting time trying that though lmao

also probably wasn’t stable lol

[narrow gate]

+1.3v is degrade as i have seen

[merry stirrup]

i thought 1.25 long term

[narrow gate]

stable enough for benchmarking

wasnt used for daily

Used for Hwbot

[turbid locust]

1.2V under all core load can cause issues static lmao

[topaz veldt]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/PQ7jfd

[low sorrel]

1.2 core?

[turbid locust]

mhm

[merry stirrup]

am4 is shit man

[low sorrel]

something is seriously fucked with my pc and i don't wanna troubleshoot

[turbid locust]

platform ain’t shit it’s just people don’t realize heat effects shit

[topaz veldt]

just throw it out

[pure garnet]

am4 fans explaining how buying 3 chips slower than a 5960x was a value purchase

[turbid locust]

“Omg it didn’t crash yay” yeah all good just took off a year of life that run

[topaz veldt]

Meanwhile my 5900X stock ate itself

[mild sandal]

Apple being the only brand with crazy deals this year is crazy

[shell void]

the value proposition of doing 1600 -> 2600 -> 3600 -> 5600 just to barely outperform the $389 i7 5820K from 2014

[turbid locust]

skill issue

[low sorrel]

hey lg had some decent ones

[topaz veldt]

Yes, yes. No PBO, no nothing, deathmode

[turbid locust]

yeah should’ve enabled PBO

[topaz veldt]

Should have just thrown it out

[shell void]

yeah ryzen 9s have much higher failure rates than people want to admit

puget systems exposed this

[merry stirrup]

yes

[shell void]

turns out that no cpu core like 1.5v+

who couldve guessed

[low sorrel]

who was that guy who put 200w through his 5800x to get 4.5ghz and was at 105c

[turbid locust]

I don’t remember lol

[topaz veldt]

lol our resident insane person

[low sorrel]

i wonder how his cpu is doing now

[narrow gate]

Bruh 200w

[turbid locust]

mfs just be doing shit

Do 5.8Ghz and get back to me like damn

trying to do sub ambient shit on ambient

goofy ahh

[topaz veldt]

"it runs 105C and its fine"

[narrow gate]

That Im aware but it wasnt for daily 🙂

i havent done hbwot now.

[turbid locust]

yeah I only had to disable thermal protection to get it to run

[shell void]

the humble 14900K when exposed to 1.5v at 115c: ouch i degraded a little

ryzen when it gets one voltage spike: explodes

[turbid locust]

14900k was not the right choice here

[shell void]

it's a very resilient cpu

[turbid locust]

those chips die at stock Mike lmao

[shell void]

yeah they slowly degrade while being spiked to 1.6vcore for months

meanwhile ryzen chips die almost instantly in some cases

[narrow gate]

10x scalar

[turbid locust]

Idk man I’ve put some AM4 chips through some shit man

[shell void]

i think biggie was seeing 1.65vcore on his 13600k at one point

[mild sandal]

Fuck I got baited. Had me thinking it was the 70ti on a crazy deal. Why is Google showing me 5070 when I search for the ti

[low sorrel]

forgot about that guy

[turbid locust]

My 5800x that boots nearly the same FCLK my 7700x maxed at is funny

[shell void]

the glue machine was locked in when it made your 5800X

[turbid locust]

real

[low sorrel]

what does your 5800x boot at?

[turbid locust]

performance scales up to 2033, it can boot 2100

[merry stirrup]

up to 1.7 requests on the stock 13900KS LOL

[turbid locust]

WHEA error at anything above 1867 tho

[merry stirrup]

literal hydrogen bomb vs crying baby

[shell void]

early wan

[merry stirrup]

dismissed for pretty good reason tbh

no proof of the funds they lost, they gave them 45 days to provide evidence

[shell void]

i know nothin about that

[pure garnet]

i still want a 14900k at some point

[merry stirrup]

it is peak cpu i fear

[pure garnet]

last domestic cpu

[shell void]

i think we'll get back to 100% intel cpus by the end of the decade

[merry stirrup]

RKL is my fav but the 13900KS was incredible

[shell void]

14A is going really well for them in testing so that's good

[merry stirrup]

5.9ghz and stable on all cores is mind blowing

[shell void]

14A compute tiles with 18A base tile and SOC

arc can be made with intel fab too so that covers the gpu

all that would be left is the IO tile

[dusty lotus]

while many want intel gone the pc industry will become a monopoly if they do

[merry stirrup]

i miss my monolithic slab

[shell void]

i dont think many want intel gone

[merry stirrup]

nobody here is of the intel hater variety

[shell void]

maybe many r/amd users but that's about it

[dusty lotus]

many users that arent here

ive noticed intel hate so much

[mild sandal]

Fighting with everything I can to not dump 1.6k on a 5070ti and a crazy monitor...

[shell void]

yeah there's a ryzen hive mind that's kinda silly

amd is equally as greedy, if not moreso, and if intel totally disappeared then we'd get reamed by AMD for decades

[dusty lotus]

the second i mention i have a 14700k everyone goes apeshit on me and ask "why not amd" or "why intel"

[merry stirrup]

300$ 6 cores for the past 8 years

if only i was lying

[dusty lotus]

"couldve gotten a 9800x3d"

[turbid locust]

[merry stirrup]

no im first in line

[hybrid plume]

intel should never go away

[merry stirrup]

just have to get a job back 💀

[hybrid plume]

well not now

[merry stirrup]

but i’d buy it mister mac

[hybrid plume]

thinking we should have less competition is wild

[shell void]

kyoko so totally wants to buy my 9800X3D if the 9950X3D2 or whatever it's called launches next year

[merry stirrup]

i got laid off LOL

[turbid locust]

Oh rip

[hybrid plume]

kyoko?

[merry stirrup]

company failing and likely won’t be here for much longer

[turbid locust]

oof

[low sorrel]

do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it

[shell void]

[narrow gate]

A person

[pure garnet]

mac cpu in mac mpower

[merry stirrup]

yah huge L but it’s aight

[turbid locust]

Floppa if it makes you feel better as it stands rn, I only have job security until July

[merry stirrup]

woah woah woah woah woah woah i want the ayw and 14900k

[hybrid plume]

i remember them from another server

neat

[merry stirrup]

do you want the KS? 💀😭

[merry stirrup]

this is not good

[pure garnet]

i’m probably not buying one for a long time

[merry stirrup]

hmmmmm okay

[turbid locust]

standard subcontractor shit

[merry stirrup]

yeah fair

[turbid locust]

I’m probably fine lmao

[merry stirrup]

in the car it’s bumpy

[turbid locust]

I need @topaz veldt to sell me a cheap H24M kit

[merry stirrup]

there was like 180$ ckd kits you coulda bought

[turbid locust]

I had one remember

I returned it cause z790 is stupid

[merry stirrup]

right i’m rarted

oh well i meant more recently

[turbid locust]

well tbf it was a H16A CKD kit

[merry stirrup]

there was some insane price issues on ram for h24 ckd and h16 ckd

[hybrid plume]

i’m still using an i5-800

[merry stirrup]

but in the good way

[hoary hatch]

It is time to move on

[hybrid plume]

works fine for the games i play tho, especially because my gpu is far stronger

[merry stirrup]

i have speed ran sandybridge onward to 15th gen

only took me 5 years

[hybrid plume]

[merry stirrup]

this is an 8500 at its finest

[hybrid plume]

yep

4070ti super

[pure garnet]

warship does the dumbest things

i gave my heatsinkless kit to my sister of h24m

[merry stirrup]

yeah i couldn’t post the link to any of the good kits here remember? 💀😭

[hoary hatch]

Did you typo 8500

[hybrid plume]

yes

[hoary hatch]

Oh that makes a significant difference

[hybrid plume]

imagine if i was on first gen tho lol

[hoary hatch]

I thought you meant some nehalem system

[merry stirrup]

i5 760

[hybrid plume]

ihave one tho

i5-620 i think

[hoary hatch]

For daily driving?

[merry stirrup]

gapped

[hybrid plume]

no my daily driver is this i5-8500 pc

[merry stirrup]

love upsidown cpu platform

[hybrid plume]

it’s good enough for all the non-aaa games i play

[dusty lotus]

gapped

[merry stirrup]

do not play with me

but there’s always a bigger fish

[green marsh]

@topaz veldt 😄

this is getting dumb

[green marsh]

etc

i paid a while 88GBP (around 105 euros) for this in February

[turbid locust]

I need a chiller and socket heater

so I can do dumb shit

[hybrid plume]

this sorta shit pricing makes me badly want to use an eGPU with my laptop instead

[edgy laurel]

how does one tear up that heatsink so much

[hoary hatch]

https://tenor.com/view/dungeong-gif-15689004941277764080

[merry stirrup]

gpu prices are gonna go up btw

[merry stirrup]

improper storing you shoulda seen where i got it from

[green marsh]

used prices for tb3 egpu boxes make me sick

[hybrid plume]

because my zephyrus cpu is faster than my desktop, so i have to assume the loss i get over usb4 is less than the loss with that i5

[merry stirrup]

i got it with like 30 other older but very high end more oc focused boards

i fixed literally all of them (every one had socket damage )

[hoary hatch]

Not necessarily

[edgy laurel]

oh lord just laying on top of eachother

[merry stirrup]

yes sir

[green marsh]

i think i will somehow survive with my lame 4080 Super for a while

[hoary hatch]

16 lanes vs 4 lanes

[hybrid plume]

4 lanes with usb4?

[merry stirrup]

took like 2 days

got cool hw outta it, i was cool

[hoary hatch]

USB4 has optional PCIe tunneling

Which would be 4 lanes

[green marsh]

old boards having CPUs upside down is so weird

[merry stirrup]

i love it man it’s so silly

this however is not

[turbid locust]

Work gave me $100 for thanksgiving do we blow it on a mouse I don’t need or a case I don’t need

[hybrid plume]

i’d probably have to benchmark it to find out which is faster
