[left ermine]

Ugh

[wise bear]

But that's just how people abuse it, I actually use it to help myself, not do everything for me

[slim pebble]

I kind of enjoy the stories about AI fails when corpos try to replace people. Like the Taco Bell AI drive-through that shit itself when someone ordered 10K glasses of water.

[shell void]

it’s my favorite take on the traditional case layout for sure

[livid flame]

I wish Steve would actually do more videos like his recent case one tbh. I like that Steve.

[brave panther]

whole slide lmao

[shell void]

it would look sweet with a white air cooler

[fringe shadow]

I'm not trying to blame you for it, it's the reality of the situaction. Using it or not doesn't matter, I was just messing around. But, as I said, I don't like it.

[teal orbit]

what

[edgy laurel]

the meetings I have to sit in on would melt your ears

[fringe shadow]

A.I. needs to go the way of the dodo

[shell void]

unfortunately it never will

it’s a part of life forever now and it sucks

[teal orbit]

skill issue

[fringe shadow]

So happy that it got thrown out of our workplace, we're not even allowed to use co-pilot. Which is based.

[livid flame]

You move with technology or you get left behind. Kind of like how Milk is now in supermarkets and no need for a milk man

[shell void]

i’m gonna become boomer and live in an off grid cabin

[left ermine]

So basically, be friendly enough until it gets eradicated?

[fringe shadow]

I'd rather not move with technology if it means billionaires get to enslave me, thanks.

[fringe shadow]

Just stand there and let me shoot it.

[slim pebble]

AI is here to stay, for no other reason than to raise our electric bills and contaminate our drinking water.

[fringe shadow]

Someone is on the money!

[livid flame]

AI could solve the climate crisis by solving its own power and cooling issues tbh

[fringe shadow]

We could live together, I'll bring Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon.

[teal orbit]

I will ask a developer to turn your forest into a subdivision

[livid flame]

Gotta trust in AI

[fringe shadow]

How's that boot taste?

[slim pebble]

While some corpo exec pleasures himself to the idea of replacing real people with garbage chat bots.

[fringe shadow]

This guy probably likes Elon Musk

[livid flame]

How does poverty taste?

[left ermine]

I saw on the news about a couple living close to one of the Meta Datacenters that are used for AI and their water was contaminated because of it

[teal orbit]

This guy probably hates on elon musk 24/7

[wise bear]

liking ai doesn't mean you're a bootslave for fuck sake dude

[brave panther]

im lucky im networker and everyone outside my team doesent uderstand at all what we do 🤣

so we get left alone

[fringe shadow]

Lul, it's funny that you're both wrong and that you're reaction is "poors don't matter". Way to out yourself as an enemy to humanity.

[edgy laurel]

this is hitting a little too close to home

[fringe shadow]

Defending the negative effects it has on society does.

[livid flame]

Believing that AI is the devil is what left people behind when computers replaced pen and paper…

[left ermine]

Ai is in no way revolutionary

[teal orbit]

What if something is both the devil and you can make a deal with the devil

[left ermine]

It does not aid people, it simply just removes the creativity from them

[livid flame]

You can be upset at companies sure. The technology itself, you cannot dispute it’s future abilities

[wise bear]

The fault of ai is not of on itself but on the fucking c-suites for creating such an overinflated boom of expansion.

[fringe shadow]

It's literally the opposite for humanity in the way it's being implemented. A.I. itself isn't bad, those in control of it are.

[left ermine]

We no longer search for answers, most rather trust it blindly

[fringe shadow]

Read what I just posted.

[wise bear]

If you wanna be mad at something, be mad at how fast the market exploded, not at the fucking technology

[livid flame]

So you’re upset with companies not the technology. Learn to be objective and not an insulting fuckwit

[wise bear]

Posted it before you, so

[fringe shadow]

I will be mad at the people in control of said tech.

[fringe shadow]

You're an idiot.

[wise bear]

cool so then don't be mad at people who use an easily accesible tool.

[left ermine]

I mean, I’ve heard tons of dumb news about couples trusting ai advice, traveling to a country because ChatGPT said you could get there without a visa when you actually NEEDED one

[fringe shadow]

If you can't infer that tech is both what it is and those in control of it, you're a moron.

Sorry, not sorry.

[wise bear]

Sneaky bit of racism from both of you, lovely.

[livid flame]

[fringe shadow]

Anymore horrible qualities you want to show off?

[left ermine]

Not the racism. Anyways…

[livid flame]

Oh can’t forget the Irish love to play the victim too

As he is now

[wise bear]

don't sit there acting high and mighty because you hate corporations too lmao, you aren't original

[devout ridge]

it’s not racism to hate on the irish and their potatoes

the potatoes deserve it

[livid flame]

Oh we love the potatoes

[left ermine]

I’m not even Irish but come on, racism? How low can you stoop

[fringe shadow]

The whole idea of making fun of us for a lack of potatoes literally stems from the famine, where countless Irish people died.

[livid flame]

It’s the play when you lose an argument. Just look up Eni Aluko.

[low sorrel]

Uhh anyone got some popcorn

[fringe shadow]

Because they're mad and losing an argument.

[wise bear]

If you have to use racism to win an argument, you lose. Dunzo

[slim pebble]

So if OLED isn't a great option because static content for 90+ hours a week and maybe an hour of gaming, what's the next best option?

[vestal granite]

whats the drama today folks

[pure garnet]

just buy a new oled every week pac

[fringe shadow]

He's British? kek

[livid flame]

Oh yeah it’s hideous but Ireland entered the EU to be a poor nation feeding off the rest. We were the opposite.

[fringe shadow]

Hows the survelliance state going @livid flame ?

[fringe shadow]

This is sickeningly racist.

[steel stream]

unless you are talking about LITHUANIA!!!!!!! LT MY 🐐

[livid flame]

So back to AI

[slim pebble]

In like 15 months

[fringe shadow]

I agree, I didn't take it there first. I was just complaining about AI

[livid flame]

AI is pretty sick tbh. Will be great one day.

I was not being violently and abhorrently racist, actually.

mini-led would probably be the next best think but mini-led monitors are not great

Real. But I'm moving there so I have to lick boot soon.

[vestal granite]

oh is that a real thing i thought that show was like a reference to that song

Nvidia isn’t evil. Like I’m not keen on them at all. However if they were evil, ya wouldn’t keep buying their bleeding GPUs

If something is inherently evil humans do actually go away from it

everyone knows that green is good and red is bad. but thats what they WANT us to think, so red must be good and green must be bad

[vestal granite]

is ireland a part of the UK or how do i refer to the area that is the UK & Ireland and surrounding areas

[slim pebble]

NV isn't evil. They're just a monopoly, and that allows them to control both GPU price and product lines. It sucks, but anyone would do it in their position.

only a northern part is part of UK, rest is sepeerate country

[grizzled lily]

any fix

[vestal granite]

oh is the north one the part where all the scary stuff is or is that the south part

[teal orbit]

British Isles I believe

[low sorrel]

Y'all aren't bipolar like I don't have ADHD

[idle lodge]

I dont know maybe an irish will tell you

[fringe shadow]

Nothing is scary. Ireland is an antiquated country that's got a high GDP. We're like a rich Kenya.

[vestal granite]

that means nothing to me

[livid flame]

Cool the cpu

[topaz veldt]

None of this has to do with Tech, people

[idle lodge]

maybe a thermal sensor is faulty?

[livid flame]

Racist racist

[left ermine]

Check for bent pins

[idle lodge]

run the cpu check in BIOS

[vestal granite]

does ireland also have a lot of wind farms like scotland like the technology wind farms

[fringe shadow]

Punch it

[left ermine]

That’s denmark

[idle lodge]

most likely yes

[livid flame]

I’d suggest the cooler is not mounted correctly, broken or fan is dead. Depending on cooler used

[fringe shadow]

Some, not a lot.

[low sorrel]

Popeyes

[teal orbit]

make it colder

[vestal granite]

its a lot of places, such as scotland for example

[slim pebble]

Hey pepe

hi jerry

When play arc raiders

[idle lodge]

just move the fans to the top

if you can

[vestal granite]

im not interested in the game

[fringe shadow]

why

[vestal granite]

seems mid

[grizzled lily]

nope look

[grizzled lily]

yea only valid solu

[fringe shadow]

Just move the fans?

[low sorrel]

WOAH WOAH WOAH

[teal orbit]

Sides or top or bottom

[idle lodge]

most games are, I just play what i like not what is hype

[livid flame]

AIO pump probably dead

[slim pebble]

My guess your AIO is cooked. Maybe replace it with a good air cooler? And take the glass front off.

[grizzled lily]

yea 183 f in bios💀

[vestal granite]

like helldivers, its one of those games thats cool as long as theres a playerbase & then people are like oh but this ones different look theyre making a biiiiig update

[idle lodge]

air cooler would have been better probably though for that size and CPU

[shell void]

[grizzled lily]

where will i find the vented front tho

[vestal granite]

if people make the game interesting, there will always be other games that people play.

[livid flame]

I had a 120mm AIO in 2012. It improved my avg temp by 0.3c over an air cooler

[left ermine]

Ngl, imo AIO seems like its just higher maintenance than Air cooled, not my type of thing

How big of a difference does liquid cooling have

[low sorrel]

Man I need to get back into helldivers

[slim pebble]

Could be worse, Arc Raiders is only fun if you have a few friends play with you. Solo you're just feeding other people free shit.

[low sorrel]

My brother bought me the game when it came out

[livid flame]

I recently installed an AIO for the first time in over a decade

[grizzled lily]

yea 1 120 mm is crazy

[livid flame]

They seem alright. Got the air cooler for backup.

[low sorrel]

But then he had a kid and like a nerd has to take care of his kid

[spiral quarry]

Jerry you have F1 25? On sale right now so I just pulled the trigger and got it lol.

[livid flame]

My kid is on my pc way more than me 🙁

[left ermine]

Cause like, wouldn’t the water/liquid heat up as the pc does? Where as you could just vent a room

[low sorrel]

Nah I'm waiting for winter sale to pull the trigger

Drops down to 10 bucks usually

[livid flame]

You can vent a room and it does the same. Radiator fins, same as air cooler fins.

[grizzled lily]

how to test if aio is dead or not?

[shell void]

that is certainly a computer

[spiral quarry]

November/December love to see my wallet

[livid flame]

Listen for the sound of the pump. One pipe will be hot, one cold to touch.

[left ermine]

Cause Imo, I don’t think AIOs would be that much different unless you could constantly cool the liquid?

[livid flame]

Well it does

[grizzled lily]

ok can i turn it on side ways?

[left ermine]

Why would you turn it on sideways

[livid flame]

Tbh I’m only 2c cooler on my frozen warframe 240mm compared to my ak620

[spiral quarry]

ah yea hopefully the prices drop more then this but I have a feeling not much more.

[fringe vigil]

why you a spammer mf

[left ermine]

That just makes it harder on the pump

[livid flame]

He has no pump

[low sorrel]

Did you see that they cancelled F1 26 and is making it a dlc for F1 25

[left ermine]

Why not get a steam key

[livid flame]

His pump is dead, it does not matter

[teal orbit]

Yes

[grizzled lily]

long story

[idle lodge]

f1 these days is just yearly DLC anyways

[spiral quarry]

First time hearing that huh.

Then again they canceled WRC soooo

[idle lodge]

and by DLC its just updated rosters

[vestal granite]

air cooler vs aio cooler is just the problem of thermal paste vs no thermal paste scaled up a lot

[livid flame]

My AIO is just RGB to keep my kid happy. I never have owned an AIO without a good backup air cooler tbh

[spiral quarry]

Preferbly not. Not the first time someone has told me, I just do not trust any key sites period.

[teal orbit]

If you flow the water at an infinite velocity, and run the fans at an infinite RPM, then the water approaches room temperature and therefore hasn't heated up

[brisk prawn]

Hey if I have to replace a monitor because the screen be messed up it’s tied to my streaming computer. Can I go to put in a new monitor and no image pops up. How do I fix this?

[livid flame]

I think we should encourage poor financial choices to discord and help him buy another rig

Maybe with 64gb of ddr5 to really hammer home the poor financial decision

they still sell the 1650…?

Wtf

[young void]

Idk man its cursed

[left ermine]

As someone who used one, its TRASH

[livid flame]

I’d legit buy a FE 1650 if it existed

[left ermine]

not a huge upgrade but I got an RTX 2060 and man does that blow the 1650 out of the water

[spiral quarry]

Suprisingly that card aged decently.

12gb one ehh sucker was DOA. Still got my strix 2060 working in another system.

[livid flame]

How much better was the 2060 12gb over a 1060 6gb? I missed that era of GPUs

[left ermine]

My first ever RTX Card

[livid flame]

Had a 1060 though

[left ermine]

Mostly because anything above it will bottleneck the crap out of my current setup

Thinking of swapping to AM5 sometime though

[grizzled lily]

anyone wanna buy this shitty case

[brave panther]

remove the plex pannels from the front grill and gain 95% airflow

[young void]

Thats a magnetic screen btw wash it dry it re seat it

With all the dust on it* also shipping a case is pain best to post it local, unless you got the box and want to ofc

[left ermine]

Is going from a Coffee Lake intel board to AM5 a good idea?

[young void]

If you want to would be a good jump

But ddr5 rn is super gross to find

[left ermine]

I mean, it would also mean the RTX 2060 is no longer gonna cause a bottleneck

Yeah no. I’m not getting AM5 now. Hell no.

I’m waiting until the prices go down

[livid flame]

See you on AM9

[left ermine]

what.

[livid flame]

They’re not going down anytime soon

[young void]

[left ermine]

[livid flame]

That’s not how market monopolies and the promise to buy not yet manufactured supply works

[young void]

Only time will reveal its mysteries

[left ermine]

I mean if less people buy stuff than they will have to cut down

AI is really not helping our case either

[livid flame]

I’d imagine DDR5 will be “sold out” next year in the same way Blackwell was sold out 14 months before launch

You’ll be waiting a minimum of 2 years maybe even 3 from what I can speculate for a normalised price

[young void]

I know like 10+ people waiting for a decent set of 32-64gb sticks

[livid flame]

GPUs took what, 3 or 4 years to normalise?

[young void]

Gonna be roughs

[livid flame]

Nas servers gonna be running on 8gb sticks soon to save money

[left ermine]

This ai bubble needs to burst

And cut down

[livid flame]

If that happened bye bye American economy

No one in the world wants that

[low sorrel]

I'm probably going to skip am5 just because I'm probably going to be happy with the performance for a while after I upgrade my GPU eventually

[brisk prawn]

Which cord is better display or HDMI for a streaming monitor?

[topaz veldt]

Ah nice. I played for like 20 mins

[edgy laurel]

DisplayPort, you mean? Depends on the display. If the resolution, refresh rate and bit-depth is achievable by both, it doesn't matter. On many displays, the max can only be achieved by one or the other. Read your manual / read the rtings review (if it exists)

[slim pebble]

God the world is about to see Intel become a leading edge fab, an ASIC design house, and get over 80% of server CPU market again…

1 trillion ez.

QRT: jukan05
I guess there’s a reason Google is using EMIB for its TPUs.

My Chinese partner, who I collaborate with, just had an expert call with a Google TPU specialist, and the TPU numbers mentioned there are actually higher than Fubon’s estimates lol.
Does that even make sense?

[low sorrel]

oh my god i replaced the shitty rgb case fans that my case came with and it's so much quieter nopw

[pure garnet]

that is also not how it works

the ram shortage is from dram capacity being shifted to hbm and a lot of orders from datacenters for the remaining dram

so the diy market gets the remaining slivers

[fringe vigil]

this is where u can betray those guys

guilty are u using reno or reshade

[edgy laurel]

RenoDX is an add-on for reshade. No reshade effects are in use.

[livid flame]

Lul what. £250 more to build my rig today than it did in 2023. Worst part is the ram only went up £170.

Sorry it’s now gone up by £190

[turbid locust]

@edgy laurel first time I’ve run into this. Any ideas?

[low sorrel]

I bought argb fans but the board only has drgb

[edgy laurel]

Same here. Whats doing HDR? Native?

and borderless?

[turbid locust]

Windows HDR, native res, borderless windows.

Just noticed it was randomly dimmer than normal

[edgy laurel]

Yeah whats doing HDR though (in game HDR setting, AutoHDR, RTX HDR, etc..)

[turbid locust]

Val doesn’t have HDR

[edgy laurel]

(RTX HDR to the rescue)

[turbid locust]

I never run HDR in this game

[edgy laurel]

MP games with no built in HDR options are where its useful

[turbid locust]

The entire display is just dimmer when I tab in

[edgy laurel]

probably weirdness because you have HDR enabled and the game is in SDR. dunno

[turbid locust]

It’s never done this before

[edgy laurel]

Id certainly shut the game off, enable RTX HDR just for that game (not global) and see whathappens

worst case, you get Valorant in HDR

or turn off Windows HDR entirely when playing

[turbid locust]

Dim when I’m on desktop too

[edgy laurel]

i've had some games (mostly just minecraft) fuck with my SDR content slider

just touching it fixes it

as in it acts like I dragged that slider to 0 until I touch it

[turbid locust]

restarting my pc fixed it

idk lol

[edgy laurel]

when in doubt..

[brisk jolt]

it looks like RTX HDR

3700X is in the AM4 oc rig rn and ill do the 12700K whenever i want/care to

[frank cypress]

i paid 140 for the 4060

honestly im pretty impressed by it

[edgy laurel]

we can't answer that. do you want to upgrade something to achieve better performance?

[shell void]

it's supposed to work like this:

1. notice that youre not getting as much performance as you want to
2. observe whether it's cpu or gpu limited
3. upgrade cpu or gpu if you can afford it

if you already have the best cpu and gpu then gg

is normal that i have something like a coil whine sound from the parts of the motherboard around CPU? it can be heard even if i dont do anything.

[teal orbit]

doesn't seem like anything got picked up on the recording?

[tranquil finch]

There is a weird sound

[teal orbit]

there's nothing on the recording

i think you can just barely see it if it's just a generic coil while

[livid flame]

I can hear a fan that might be pinging a wire. It’s not exactly clear on the recording because the sounds a bit crappy

[teal orbit]

try rotating the phone so that the microphone is pointed directly at the source of the sound

[dapper junco]

the second one is the new fangled tandem oled monitor

[tranquil finch]

i hear it crearly on the video

[teal orbit]

maybe a different sound then

[livid flame]

Everyone says they’re amazing so get that then

[oak vector]

Sounds normal
Coil whine is pretty normal
Sometimes you just get the bad end of the stick and it’s really bad
Sometimes it’s non existent

Sometimes using a different outlet eradicates it too

For me?

holy shit wow

on 1 website it say my psu is compatible with the gpu i am buying but on a other it say its not.
any 1 experiance with a coolermaster MWE Gold 750 and a GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 5070 Ti GAMING OC 16G

[civic reef]

750w I'd say is good enough for a 5070 Ti? Lemme check

[pastel thicket]

thank u

[civic reef]

Gigabyte's site says 750w recommended, techpowerup says 700w recommended

You're on the safe side

B tier power supply too, great

[pastel thicket]

if i read this rigt this psu have 1 8 pin connector and 1 4x4 pin so also a 8 pin connector.

but i see it need 3 8 pin for the power

1x 12V-2x6 to 3x PCIe 8pin adapter

[devout ridge]

4+4 is an 8 pin EPS connector, won't work for a GPU

[pastel thicket]

ohe thats the cpu

[brisk jolt]

[pastel thicket]

connector ahe ok

[brisk jolt]

5070ti? ded

4

this 1 is for the gpu correct

[edgy laurel]

the manufacturers website is a good place to start https://www.razer.com/gaming-mice/razer-deathadder-v3-hyperspeed

[pastel thicket]

just trying to make shure i can pick up this gpu and install and play

and not find out later i need to buy a psu

[edgy laurel]

which means 2x cables

which means you're fine. necessary adapter included with GPU

(if bought new)

[pastel thicket]

completly new, just about to pick it up was making shure before i went to the shop i not needed a psu also

[edgy laurel]

also assumeing this is the exact PSU https://www.coolermaster.com/en-global/products/mwe-gold-750-full-modular/?tab=tech_spec

[pastel thicket]

thnx alot

yup

[edgy laurel]

If the PSU isn't new, you may need to find the box and the extra cables

and hope you didn't throw them away

i have it right next to me, never trow out old pc hardware boxes.
just in case i sell it or need the spare parts

hi are there anything ppl here who uses air purifiers?

not sure which one to get

[shell void]

Levoit Vital 200S is a good cheap unit https://www.rtings.com/air-purifier/reviews/levoit/vital-200s

[topaz veldt]

She's a cutie

[bleak lark]

is there any difference from those retangular shape ones and the cylinder shape ones?

I want to keep my budget at a max of like 100-110$

hmm it does look good tho

[shell void]

air purifiers are just fans with filters, and if this is for a bedroom then youd be fine with a smaller & cheaper levoit core 200 or core 300

[topaz veldt]

yep - literally jsut a fan with an air filter

IMHO, mostly placebo

you'd be better served by cleaning

[shell void]

i vacuum and dust regularly and mine still gets caked after a while even though i dont let animals in the room

[topaz veldt]

if you have center air that's a contributor

[bleak lark]

hmm

[shell void]

id be lying if i said that i noticed an air quality difference, but i like the white noise, and it's satisfying to see it work

[bleak lark]

I just have a lot of dust in the room (mainly bc I rarely vacuum) and a kitchen right outside

kinda getting sick of smelling food when im trying to sleep bc my roommate cooks at like midnight

[bleak lark]

so im not sure if the core 200/300 would help much

[pure garnet]

i have the core 300 and it’s fine

it cleared up the smoke smell when my area had a wildfire

[young void]

I got like 4 levoits they work alright

[bleak lark]

Im planning to get this
the non smart one is about $85 the smart one is about $115

[young void]

And still have to clean them out just helps pickup the cat hair/dandruff

[shell void]

i use a core 600 in my bedroom

it gets filled up with little gnats after a while which confuses me because i never see them

i guess thats what i get for having my window open often

[pure garnet]

i don’t have the smart one but it’s on my desk

[young void]

I got these but they where on sale for like $90 or some jazz

[bleak lark]

oh so its the same just doesnt connect to phone

wait no it does

thats just the 100s not the 200s

[young void]

Yeah just has 4 speeds not sure if it connects to mobile, never tried it. Just clean it out once a week or so

[bleak lark]

should be

Im just not sure whats the diff between that and the 200

since they are like 40$ diff in price

oh wait

the 200s cleans about 800ft^2 more

[young void]

Tbh this is why I bought 4, if we ever get smokey here again I will perish literally

My lungs got so bad after like 2 weeks of fires and smoke in oregon. Never again

I literally bought gas masks for it like fool me once

Throat burn with no relief cause the air sucks is an expierence

[bleak lark]

okay yeah my room is more or less around 210 sq ft

5.5m x 3.5m x 3.5m

so that should be more than enough

ty all

[topaz veldt]

its great for filter manufacturers - if it weren't for them getting some crap in them you'd have no idea anything is happening

[young void]

Although as snail said outside of filtering carbon and snagging the occasional cat hair, cleaning yields better results

[topaz veldt]

imagine if homes were build with a loop of baseboard level nozzles and like 200 psi of air pressure that blasts toward the center of the room and a ceiling mounted exhaust fan

[devout ridge]

“just clean it” is amazing general life advice

[bleak lark]

aye aye

also for microfiber cloths why are there two different ones

[devout ridge]

wdym

[bleak lark]

and is the finer one like actually better?

[devout ridge]

depends

[young void]

Mmm as long as its soft enough to not scratch a surface/screen/glass should suffice

[young void]

Oh silk vs microfiber

[bleak lark]

oh?

[devout ridge]

only one of these is microfiber

[bleak lark]

oh

[young void]

Silk for glass/precious metal or materials and some monitors but that can be extra efforts vs a microfiber that picks up the material better in most cases

[shell void]

i need my room air to be exchanged as often as a fab floor

[bleak lark]

ahhhh yeah thats why I shouldve used the silk one for my monitor

[pure garnet]

we own 2

[shell void]

was it 2023 or 2024 when new york was literally orange?

[bleak lark]

I tried using the microfiber and it um kinda left stains at first

[shell void]

it was summer 2023 i just looked

[bleak lark]

tried to clean those small spits

[shell void]

i didnt have any difficulty breathing but it smelled like shit

[young void]

If theres a smudge myte take some Mr miyagi swipes

[bleak lark]

Mr miyagi swipes?

[young void]

Using your breath to create a small layer of condensation works wonders with a microfiber

[young void]

https://tenor.com/view/wax-on-wax-off-mr-miyagi-daniel-larusso-daniel-san-gif-24814730

I believe in you Daniel son

[bleak lark]

oh I c, I was using the whoosh cleaner spray thing

[young void]

Any cleaner while sometimes ok for glass (like phones), but can make cleaning a monitor/screen a painn

[bleak lark]

okay so should I spend $9 on those silk ones or just use the microfiber I have rn

[shell void]

rubbing with distilled water on a microfiber should be enough to pickup any dried hard spots on a display, but you can use 70% alcohol if theyre stubborn

[bleak lark]

i c i c

okay no waste money then

[young void]

It got bad here where it was just smoked everywhere for weeks first few days wasn't so bad but sheesh

[bleak lark]

neat, also im ordering the 100s instead of the 200s u showed @shell void u think it'll be just the same?

[shell void]

that has a carbon sheet so yeah it should help a bit with smells

[young void]

Made from flame resistant materials that can drag hoses or other powders to hot areas normally not accessible

[bleak lark]

yey

[shell void]

it would probably be better to just leave it running in the kitchen if the food smell is your main concern

if theres somewhere unobtrusive that you can leave it

you could also encourage your housemates to open a window while cooking

[bleak lark]

well theres windows too but the person cooking usually uses the oven or does steak and the vent is loud loud

Like obviously they get worse but how much worse

[shell void]

no not really

they slowly degrade over time, but that would cause instability after many years, not performance degradation after a couple of years

[slim pebble]

[shell void]

[spiral quarry]

oh man everything fits perfectly

[lunar comet]

Arent small form factor build more expensive?

[topaz veldt]

Yes

[lunar comet]

Bruh

[topaz veldt]

But you didn't give a budget

[lunar comet]

Bare minimums its to replace my moms laptop lol I gotta give her something to replace her ancient laptop

[topaz veldt]

Oh - so she doesn't need a 5090 🙁

[gentle gale]

why not just a mini pc

[topaz veldt]

@shell void you know what would look sick?

[gentle gale]

they’re cheap and have good igpu for light gaming

[topaz veldt]

These on a NH-D15 G2 silver tower

[lunar comet]

A "you need this for docs" type sht is not going to do lol

[shell void]

custom length beige and brown cables

[topaz veldt]

you can't even see any cables on this lol

OK 12vhpwr I can, you're right

[shell void]

heh pp

[topaz veldt]

But picutre chromax fans on a silver cooler that'd bang

[lunar comet]

Im open to recommendations

[shell void]

yeah itd probably look nicer than the black heatsink

[lunar comet]

The said laptop to be replaced is the 2017 macbook air.

[gentle gale]

quite a low bar

[lunar comet]

Quite impressed it managed to not break until now

[brisk jolt]

After I do either ARL or NVL in the T1… Im thinking of getting a 5L Midori V2.4…

[lunar comet]

Hmm basically i just need recommendations for an entry level office pc

[brisk jolt]

I’d be hard limited to basically the AXP90-36

[lunar comet]

Oh wait I have my old 1660super, so whats a good amd cpu to match with it?

[gentle gale]

https://www.amazon.com/BOSGAME-P3-Gigabit-Ethernet-Computer/dp/B0FJ5WG23R/

something like this would work, just reinstall windows

[topaz veldt]

The MCPRUE Apollo S ultra looks awesome

[lunar comet]

Id prefer specs for the atx case i have at home

[brisk jolt]

I agree

However I just want to build smaller and smaller lmao

[lunar comet]

Chat are ryzen 5 processors decent?

[turbid locust]

depends

[lunar comet]

Pure office work

[turbid locust]

are we talking 2600 or 9600x

[lunar comet]

No idea

[turbid locust]

either way you can do this on an old ass machine

[lunar comet]

I meant i still havent chosen a specifc r5 cpu yet

[lunar comet]

How about a 5000 series for the 1660super?

[brisk jolt]

overkill for office work

[lunar comet]

2000 more suitable?

[turbid locust]

Literally buy an Intel 8th gen based Optiplex for $100 and go ham dude

[brisk jolt]

My aunt’s work laptop is running a 1st gen intel on windows 11…… Like the load times are actually diabolical, running the OS itself is eating 70% of the CPU….

[turbid locust]

first? Gen? Intel? dude.

[livid flame]

Your aunt sounds like a heathen. That poo Intel cpu is dying

It’s like putting a 300lb man on the back of a 100lb man. Just not fair.

[brisk jolt]

the thing takes like 7 business days to boot up

[livid flame]

Sounds like that rig is what inspired uber deliveries

[brisk jolt]

fuckass company laptop

i think they dont have a IT department or some shit bruh

[turbid locust]

All my actual work is done via a company based laptop and it’s competent for what I do

[livid flame]

They have a cheap ass but very capable it department to put win11 on that

[turbid locust]

It’s a 125U based laptop. I occasionally have to work in large excel sheets that require a little compute but it’s fine

[topaz veldt]

The prob is I am not willing to have no/low GPU

[brisk jolt]

tbh in the midori you could fit a 50series FE- the restricting factor would be the flex psu

[topaz veldt]

Whoever was looking for a good laptop the macbook air M4 is $749

Its kind of an amazing deal imho

[lunar comet]

Id like to go am4 cuz of the wide cpu choices and potential upgrades but intel is fine ig

[topaz veldt]

AM4 needs to be let to die

[turbid locust]

https://youtu.be/Ao2lNd7jCb8?si=O_wG3T7HtzERbDxH

wrong video I’m slow

[brisk jolt]

dude its a office oriented pc… what upgrade are you talking

[topaz veldt]

OT but have you ever looked at B roll or backgroudn shots of Optimum set?

[turbid locust]

his videos are nice

[topaz veldt]

They are but like - he does a lot of SFF videos from within a like 5000 sq ft warehouse with 1 light lol

[turbid locust]

LOL

[topaz veldt]

I just find it ironic

[lunar comet]

Fair. Intel 8th gen it is

[turbid locust]

but yeah he’s also done small builds with 4090s and 5090s

[topaz veldt]

@turbid locust there is an "SFF" 5080 from Gigabyte i think. I almost bought it

[brisk jolt]

theres like 3 5080 SFFs from gigglebutt

[turbid locust]

I mean would it kill you to buy a 5070Ti. Plenty of “SFF ready” models there.

[brisk jolt]

nvm 2

[topaz veldt]

Yes because I want to play 4K 240

[turbid locust]

hmmm ok

[topaz veldt]

@turbid locust do you remember when I bought a 4070 Ti Super and owned it for liek 4 days

[turbid locust]

lol no

[topaz veldt]

Seriously I kept it for like I dunno - 9 days

[lunar comet]

Cant find lower gen intel cpus. Found this intel i3 10100 tho. I think this will do

[turbid locust]

Why you’re trying to build a custom machine for office work is beyond me

[topaz veldt]

yeah agree

Dell SFF and forget about it

[turbid locust]

Literally

[topaz veldt]

@turbid locust This is complete now. No changes - staying 265K, staying air cooled.

[turbid locust]

Nice.

[brisk jolt]

Looks fire

[topaz veldt]

anti sag turned out cool

[turbid locust]

If I didn’t hate ITX I would build a super SFF machine

[topaz veldt]

Yeah I don't love ITX but this is fine

[low sorrel]

Yeah

[turbid locust]

I still don’t think I could fit a 360mm AIO and my 5090 in my A3 assuming I went back to a mATX board

I would love a small case that still fits full sized ATX parts

Like whatever the smallest you could get I’d be down

[topaz veldt]

like ATX board? 360 AIO?

[turbid locust]

I’m not married to a 360 AIO

but ATX board and PSU yes

[topaz veldt]

prob o11 air mini or the v2

[turbid locust]

Hmm was looking at it yesterday

[frank zealot]

Why do these exist....

Lace Safety Vests

[turbid locust]

My problem is I’m accumulating too many cases and nobody is buying used cases on Facebook lmao

although my H510 deserves the landfill

[topaz veldt]

I love when you install BF6 the default is menu narration and it sounds like some helen keller female drunk

[topaz veldt]

lol bro

[turbid locust]

So maybe the O11 Mini V2 becomes my “I ended up with an ATX board this gen” and my A3 stays as my “nice compact ❤️ mATX” build

[turbid locust]

LOOOOOL

IT DOES LMAO

[turbid locust]

And my 216X becomes the NAS/Home Server and H510 goes to recycling lol

Wait a second that means every case I own would be a Lian Li and now I’m a shill

[frank zealot]

There's adapters that let you mount 3x HDDs on the back of a 120mm fan

[topaz veldt]

Like no offense to anyone it sounds like helen keller had a stroke and 5 PBRs

who thought that was the best idea

[topaz veldt]

and a fractal terra

[turbid locust]

All my drive cages are 3D Printed because they all disappear from my cases somehow

[topaz veldt]

and a couple Meshify ones downstairs

[turbid locust]

I do have a dual 3.5” drive cage laying around but it doesn’t fit in any case I own????

[frank zealot]

I'm not buying a case on fbm unless it's dirt cheap, or a severely discounted luxury case

[turbid locust]

Right

[frank zealot]

I was tempted to try for 200$ on a y70 touch

[topaz veldt]

Whoa wait a sec - does Fan Control see my water temp sensor now?

[turbid locust]

PLEASE tell me they finally stopped using HWmonitor

[topaz veldt]

I think #5 or #6 has to be T_Sensor

[turbid locust]

There’s a plugin for Fan Control I think that makes it use HWinfo sensors, and I was looking into it cause I wanted a curve based on ram SPD temps but

Seemed kinda convoluted

[topaz veldt]

but then you gotta have hwinfo64 and fancontrol

[turbid locust]

Yeah?

[topaz veldt]

I hate all this bs running

[turbid locust]

meh.

[frank zealot]

Running or just installed

[fringe vigil]

I went to a burger joint and them mfs were so expensive

Not going there again

[frank zealot]

Last I knew hwinfo didn't do background services

[topaz veldt]

running

its how like StreamDeck could do "gauges"

[frank zealot]

That's annoying

[topaz veldt]

it piggybacks hwinfo64 memory

Right

I want to do fan curve based on water temp

[turbid locust]

It is what it is. I just run the ram fan at “just under audible” speed lol

[topaz veldt]

yeah that runs fixed on mine, but I have 6 x D30s and 6 x T30s it'd be nice to have it ramp a little bit with water temp

[turbid locust]

I’ve thought about upgrading my fans but it’s kind of a weird situation on the 216X

The only fans that aren’t the front 160mm’s and the AIO fans is the rear exhaust and ram fan so lol

[topaz veldt]

yeah not worth

the G2 fans are so nice, but lol pricing

[solemn heron]

Guys is it ok that i put the thermal pad like this?

[topaz veldt]

um

[turbid locust]

no lmao

[topaz veldt]

what the fuck is that

[edgy laurel]

what the fuck

[topaz veldt]

Is that PTM7950?

[turbid locust]

Looks like a fucked up PTM pad yeah

[topaz veldt]

ha no that is not ok

and also that shouldn't even be there

[turbid locust]

PTM straight up performs worse on IHS’s in my testing

[topaz veldt]

it also provides nothing normal paste doesn't

I am all in on Duronaut

[edgy laurel]

oh, this is the kid from the other day. its bait

[topaz veldt]

oh

[fervent elm]

I was like
How is it dry already

[topaz veldt]

you can see its folded over

[edgy laurel]

tc1 taking care of him from his crosspost

[topaz veldt]

rofl

[turbid locust]

I specifically don’t actually @ reply to messages like that for this specific reason

Incentivizes them to keep talking here and uh no lol

[edgy laurel]

and they told him its fine

[turbid locust]

LOL

[edgy laurel]

perfection

[livid flame]

I used tf7 for the first time the other day. Shit looks like that tbh. Stuff was gummy af

[wise bear]

Ugh finally, home

[topaz veldt]

FINALLY

[wise bear]

FINALLY

I missed my cats

[livid flame]

Did they leave before you got home?

[wise bear]

no but I couldn't find two of them for 30 minutes

[livid flame]

cats are devils for hiding

[wise bear]

little shits scared me half to death

Little fucks were hiding in a cupboard

[topaz veldt]

Why oh why doe BF6 not play with nvidia overlay ffs

[livid flame]

Mine likes to hide under the bed then scare me shitless as I’m about to sleep slapping my hanging foot

[livid flame]

Anti cheat

[wise bear]

anti chooch

[topaz veldt]

no, because it works like 30% of the time

[livid flame]

If it’s a not working overlay, it’s always the anti cheat

[slim solstice]

Guess whos back?

[livid flame]

Elvis?

[slim solstice]

No me

[livid flame]

MJ?

[slim solstice]

I wish

[livid flame]

Oh.. that’s disappointing then

Wb somebody

[topaz veldt]

It works 30% of the time

[slim solstice]

Hey 5nail
