looking for neat audio stuff

[young void]

I actually need to give it a full watch at some point

[wise bear]

please do

[plush smelt]

what about 245KF is it better for this task?

[young void]

I want to say yes but get 2nd input im super flustered this evening

[indigo walrus]

Whoa, don't talk about Propane Genesis Evangelion in vain like that.

[wise bear]

[indigo walrus]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJdgErAfiRQ

[steel stream]

just get 7700x

[wise bear]

Hi kirashi, how was your day

[indigo walrus]

Work week is over, got a lot done, but still so much unfinished, and that's on top of the projects we have in the pipeline. But hey, I've made it almost 2 years and don't hate this job (yet). Time for a special coffee in celebration!

[wise bear]

Hell yeah!!

[low sorrel]

Deciding if I want to have fun in arc raiders, torture myself playing Val or get cheated on in CS

[low sorrel]

Isn't 7pm?

[indigo walrus]

It sure is. This brain don't care what time of day it is; it's always time for coffee.

[topaz veldt]

lol nice

I am starving

[fringe vigil]

Sup snail

might eat Chinese tomorrow yum

[dapper junco]

go have fun

tbh fun things in val imo are the escalation mode

[low sorrel]

but im on a winning streak

[dapper junco]

quit while you are winning

speaking from someone who plays val on a 5500u laptop for years

[low sorrel]

but im up 80 rr im basically playing with house money

is this how gamblers work

[dapper junco]

Yuupppp

[jaunty horizon]

Could a surge protector be messing with my psu? Should I just plug it into the wall?

[indigo walrus]

Sure, I mean, anything is possible. Easiest way to troubleshoot suspected hardware issues is to swap ONE (1) piece of hardware at a time, then re-test things. If the problem remains, you'll know it wasn't whatever you changed. If the problem disappears, welp, there's your problem.

[low sorrel]

im up 60rr

[dapper junco]

[tepid dust]

Did anyone get Alexa plus here in Canada

[low sorrel]

no and i never will

[tepid dust]

It Says it wants to know me better

[low sorrel]

to sell your data

@pallid marsh squad fireteam?

[pallid marsh]

hey thats me

[tepid dust]

The only reason I was ever introduced to smart speakers is because I spent $250 on groceries and got a free Echo

Back in the day

[heavy mantle]

@topaz veldt I got a 1440p 27” 165 screen I bought and thinking about making it a
Monitor set up should i get 2 same spec but curved screen around it or nah

[edgy laurel]

weird tag

"if you want to" is really anyone can say to that

[heavy mantle]

Most reliable person i thought of atm but yeah

[topaz veldt]

I wouldn't get curved at that size

@turbid locust done

She loves the color off it, I couldn't find one quickly - threw in these:

kind of prefer the sound/feel over the stock superlight switches

@edgy laurel

[dapper junco]

You can't find the GM2 to color match with the mouse?

[edgy laurel]

was that supposed to be just an image?

[topaz veldt]

hm?

[topaz veldt]

yeah lol

[wraith steeple]

[dapper junco]

"She loves the color off it, I couldn't find one quickly"
I'm wondering about this part

[wraith steeple]

Welp my I/O for the upcoming retro project decided it doesn't like taking optical drives anymore, oh joy

[topaz veldt]

this mouse had a weird double/no click left switch

[dapper junco]

ahh okay, gotcha

[topaz veldt]

but my wife likes the cyan color and the feel of this mouse, so I soldered in new switches

I didn't believe her at first - the issue was "when I go to highlight text it like... doesn't"

so I used it for a day and yeah,if you highlight text it won't do it

I realized its double clicking, so its clicking out of the "hold"

[dapper junco]

Having tried a bunch of switches in the g102/203/304 chassis, the stock omron is indeed kinda ass

[topaz veldt]

yeah i think these just failed

[edgy laurel]

this is a classic logitech thing

[topaz veldt]

yeah, hoping it works for her now

[edgy laurel]

I went through 3 G703's

all developed the same thing

[topaz veldt]

its stupid to replace switches on a $29 mouse but I can't find another blue one

[topaz veldt]

sorry, "cyan"

[edgy laurel]

you should try this one

"haptic" switches

[topaz veldt]

i dunno how i feel about that

[edgy laurel]

which is why...

i think its like the same tech in your macbook trackpad

but you can supposedly "tune" the feel

[topaz veldt]

hmm

i'll check reviews

[edgy laurel]

doesn't look to be out yet actually

[topaz veldt]

ah

I received a decomm I bought today....

[edgy laurel]

no physical switch at all just haptic feedback sounds neat just from a techy pov

[topaz veldt]

took a gamble - offered $2000 on it, but I saw a literal sack of these

[wraith steeple]

[edgy laurel]

well i know in theory what i'm looking at but thats about it lol

[topaz veldt]

well the dude send photos and said "storage optics"

I have 80 of them lol

[edgy laurel]

i'm not following. so you bought those for 125 but you already have them? did you need more?

[topaz veldt]

I bought them in a decomm pile for $2000

including some servers, SSDs, etc.

the the pile was a sack of 80 of those QSFP optics which go for $125+ on ebay

[edgy laurel]

Oh thats each

[topaz veldt]

yeah

[edgy laurel]

well thats why you do it i guess

[topaz veldt]

yeah sometimes you make it out lol

not worth a ton but there's 32 of these

1.6 TB write intensive SAS 12 Gbps SSD

[edgy laurel]

so do you have to hook all this stuff up and verify it works?

[topaz veldt]

yeah

its why I still have a ton of memory, I need to validate it

it almost seems like the longer the wait the more its worth this time lol

[edgy laurel]

😅

holy fuck does that not trasnlate

[topaz veldt]

not at all

[edgy laurel]

from what i'm seeing, to what my iphone screen sees, then to that image after discord has its way with it

holy fuck

i'm deleting it, that was awful

hot ones set is fantastic for OLED, either way. the background is pure black but the table and the talent is brightly lit https://youtu.be/tjORb2zGxwk

[summer raft]

I love it

Whenever shows or youtubers use a pure black backround it looks amazing

[edgy laurel]

I got it playing with RTX HDR doing its thing and it looks so real

[summer raft]

I don’t use RTX HDR

[low sorrel]

so is that a yes or a no

[summer raft]

I find SDR content just needs to stay in SDR

[dapper junco]

Ehhh, I feel like its normal tbh
The PCB quality is pretty good, I'd reckon you can just replacing switches till the pcb failed basically
or put a millmax socket in and make it hotswappable

[pallid marsh]

it was a yes i got on squad right after but you never joined

[low sorrel]

oh

why no ping me

[pallid marsh]

becuse i was being an adult and making dino nuggets

[low sorrel]

don't belong in the same sentence

@young void it looks like we'll see another revision to the list since my VLB I/O card decided it doesn't want to take optical drives anymore. How fun

[wise bear]

[brisk jolt]

thats crazy work

[vocal plume]

Idk why discord is such ass when it comes to roles now

[civic schooner]

Are ram prices just fcked in the US?

[vocal plume]

Not just in the US, and its not gonna get better any time soon.

[civic schooner]

Invest in crypto ❌
Invest in RAM ✅

[vocal plume]

Me looking at my 32gb of ddr4 🤑 🫰

[civic schooner]

Imma get 16 more for the flex

[vocal plume]

Naw naw, gotta go the full double to really flex

[civic schooner]

[civic schooner]

Just so some kids can generate slop

[brave panther]

nah, not kids

[topaz veldt]

I didn't know there was a socket. I should do that next time.

[livid flame]

Whatever that is, it’s cheap. Buy it

[turbid locust]

Nice

[topaz veldt]

therapeutic in a way

[turbid locust]

100%. I love doing small projects like that. Makes it feel like mine.

[wraith steeple]

[turbid locust]

That and I can’t leave anything alone lol

[topaz veldt]

yeah that too

I hadn't used my iron in a bit

[turbid locust]

I need to get better at soldering

and get a proper setup

[topaz veldt]

through hole switch stuff is easy, its the super small stuff thats tricky

I need to clean my workbench up

[turbid locust]

I RGH’d an Xbox 360 with a pinecil

If you know what that involves then you know how diabolical shit is

[topaz veldt]

I used to mod original xbox

when I was in college I made my money building these ECUs for cars

they came completely unassembled

[teal orbit]

millmax sockets for mice???

am I reading that right

[wraith steeple]

[dapper junco]

You basically get the variant that fits in the through hole and solder
https://www.reddit.com/r/MouseReview/comments/hyft9j/hotswap_millmax_modded_my_mouse/

[livid flame]

In the UK you’d be considered a grafter

If ya don’t know what it is. Just means someone prepared to do work, good work and be proud of it. Never goes by without wanting to work and to the best they can.

[dapper junco]

Apparently you have to enlarge the hole for the socket to fit tho 😓

[livid flame]

https://tenor.com/view/the-office-steve-carell-michael-scott-thats-what-she-said-gif-20446601

[summer raft]

That would be $1200 CAD

If they’re 2x32gb sticks

€745

[livid flame]

1200 toy dollars

[summer raft]

Are you American

If so, you know the global uniform currency will likely be the Chinese Yen instead of the US Dollar soon

[livid flame]

I’m too polite and with too dark a sense of humour to be American

[summer raft]

China is taking over we’re all gonna use Yen

[turbid locust]

https://www.newegg.com/gigabyte-low-profile-gv-n5050oc-8gl-geforce-rtx-5050-8gb-graphics-card/p/N82E16814932817 would it be too based to buy this for the bench

[livid flame]

Triple fan 5050

[turbid locust]

Nevermind it requires external power wtf

[fringe vigil]

hi

[livid flame]

130w card needs external power?

[turbid locust]

I didn’t know it was 130w

[livid flame]

Yeah it’s more than you think tbh

[fringe vigil]

I need nitro

[livid flame]

No one needs nitro-

[fringe vigil]

Discord nitro

[livid flame]

The fuck you in 200 for

I’m in 10. And 2 are dead

[edgy laurel]

prove it

[austere grove]

200+ ain’t even possible

[fringe vigil]

I use them all for resources and connecting

But some are just for sake

[austere grove]

low iq rage bait 🥀

[brave panther]

Get a j*b

[fringe vigil]

What you on about

Bro doesn’t know what discords for

[edgy laurel]

jorj, you made a ridiculous claim with an equally ridiculous reason and haven't proven it. this is a normal response

[austere grove]

low iq rage bait 🌹

[fringe vigil]

How do I prove I sent a sc long time ago

[fringe vigil]

Youre weird bro

[edgy laurel]

if you don't have nitro, you can join a max of 100. so you're not in 200+ servers

even with nitro, the max is 200

https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/33694251638295-Discord-Account-Caps-Server-Caps-and-More

[fringe vigil]

My fault prob not 200 let me count

[livid flame]

I’m training my 5 year old to be tech support for my 3 year old

So far it’s going well as it’s Fortnite that’s the issue

[edgy laurel]

[livid flame]

Can’t believe it took me this long to think of it tbh

So much more freedom…. To tidy the house

[fringe vigil]

[edgy laurel]

just wait until your oldest is old enough to drive your youngest to/from things so you don't have to anymore

[turbid locust]

I surprisingly was never made to do any grocery runs for the family or anything like that

I am 24/7 tech support for the folks though

[dapper junco]

Why do we have to censor employment?

[edgy laurel]

younger siblings?

i turned into their taxi service not long after I could drive

[edgy laurel]

Hmm?

oh, more from your favorite character @turbid locust https://youtu.be/712C0VWQp_Q

[turbid locust]

Im the youngest lol

[austere grove]

You can’t have over a 100 without nitro, nor can you have over 200 with nitro. Trying to “show off” being a discord member is quite odd. 🥀 rage bait

[livid flame]

As the eldest I only ever did it for nights out. Had 3 sisters so weren’t letting them make their own way back

[summer raft]

I’m not tech support

Even when it is in my job description

[fringe vigil]

It’s my fault

I mean to say 100 +

Show off how lol

[topaz veldt]

I kind of want one

25g has to be hilarious

[summer raft]

Yes because tech nerds are gonna believe this

the budget cope panther chip

[shell void]

217 Infinity

if it's not 12 Xe cores I don't want it

[edgy laurel]

Lancool 215/216/217 have consistently been great cases that go under the radar

[shell void]

oh it's available now https://www.amazon.com/Lian-Li-Mid-Tower-Pre-Installed-Optimized/dp/B0FMDSL7DV

i think i like that meshed basement design

[steel stream]

gotta get that case and then buy those edifier infinity mirror speakers

yeah thats even been on the budget Lancool 206/207's. the cut down feature wise models

I've gotta get a photo of that subwoofer somehow

[frank cypress]

its a pc

also dont crosspost

[fringe vigil]

who watches peace maker here

[edgy laurel]

oh this guy just made it even more extra

[brave panther]

is that just extra display?

[edgy laurel]

yeah, fits really well

[brave panther]

but it plugs into gpu/igpu right?

[edgy laurel]

not sure, not mentioned anywhere in the comments though people did ask for what the display is https://www.reddit.com/r/sffpc/comments/1pfph2h/monitoring_display_added/

i like the GPU monitor section with the ROG logo but its a Gigabyte card

[jaunty horizon]

Like genuinely Fortnite bottom 5 games of all time

[brave panther]

motherboard is asus, maybe it is some kind of asus bloat that does this

[edgy laurel]

[jaunty horizon]

Guiltyspark is it okay to put my pc into a wall instead of a surge protector?

[edgy laurel]

people build monitoring displays with aida64

[brave panther]

its a risk
i have a whole house surge protector

so i dont have to have bunch of small ones

[jaunty horizon]

My pc still doesn’t work on fortnite 😭

I might just buy a new pc for Fortnite ngl

[edgy laurel]

is this a "done zero troubleshooting, guess I'll replace the PC" typa situation?

[fringe vigil]

your pc is ass?

[jaunty horizon]

I mean I was getting a cpu error code and no1 has found the true fix for it so

[jaunty horizon]

I got a 6900xt and a ryzen 5 5600x I think

[teal orbit]

CPU error code?

[jaunty horizon]

Ever since I went to amd I’ve been getting fucked

[teal orbit]

What is the error

[jaunty horizon]

every single time

those 2

only happens when my pc powers off in fort

like im ngl ever since I switched from intel my performance got destroyed

[teal orbit]

like your computer is shutting down when running fortnite?

[jaunty horizon]

yes but its only on dx12, and its only on fortnite

[pure garnet]

sounds like a good idea

[wraith steeple]

Wise financial decision, indeed

[edgy laurel]

These have absolutely nothing to do with your issue

If your PC is fully shutting off in game, event viewer will be useless

[jaunty horizon]

It happens the second it shuts off every single time

[edgy laurel]

Ok. But if you actually read them they’re irrelevant

There are basics you should be focusing on

CMOS clear, bios updates, running without XMP, memory testing, windows corruption scanning, various system stress tests, and of course a fresh windows install with only the essential drivers and one game installed

Mmm bias lighting.

[mild sandal]

Lightning is crazy here, tho I feel like the light blue and red clash too much

Also is that lotion?

[edgy laurel]

It does appear to be

[reef grove]

Heya. Do yall know if every M2 NVME SSD needs a heatsink? Because my motherboard only came with 1 and its already in use, but now I need a 2nd SSD and some dont come with heatsinks

[frank zealot]

Gen 3 and most gen 4 don't really need one

But Amazon sells heatsinks pretty cheap, and you get tons of options

[frank zealot]

Where's the Kleenex

[reef grove]

Yeah I was thinking of grabbing one of the "cheaper" 130-150€ ones and a 10€ heatsink.

But only if i really need it , i do try to save money.

The heatsink on the motherboard i had to use because the other M2 SSD I have is without a VRM/VRAM (?) cache thing and it apparently has a tendency of running hot otherwise

[edgy laurel]

If you're buying a cheap SSD, you likely don't need a heatsink at all

[frank zealot]

DRAM ?

[edgy laurel]

hell I ran my old 970 Evo on the backside of a motherboard for a few years

[reef grove]

Yes could be it. Dont know much about SSDs unforunately

Should I save the money and go with a gen3 thats under 100€ then? Or should I go with a gen4?

Because I doubt ill ever use the full write speeds that offers anyway

[pure garnet]

the world if ssd controllers used modern nodes

[frank zealot]

Vram is on gpu's
Vrm's are power control on most electronics.

Dram is RAM and used as cache on devices

[reef grove]

Ahhh yes, Vram I knew, vrm i thought might be on there aswell but i wasnt sure. Thanks

[coral tartan]

Both are the same price 🥀

[edgy laurel]

so you have a heatsink built into the motherboard? what is the question then

[brave panther]

surely it cannot be worse than automotive

[reef grove]

I already used said heatsink

[pure garnet]

i think gen 5 is on 12nm

[frank zealot]

What

[reef grove]

its just now wether I should go with a gen3 or 4 and if i 100% need a heatsink for it

[edgy laurel]

now thats funny

[reef grove]

I do wanna save money, it should be under 150, preferably under 100€ and around 2tb

[frank zealot]

What board / cpu

[edgy laurel]

where do you live

[reef grove]

B840 Plus Wifi Asus Prime, Germany

Im looking on amazon right now, I already looked on Alternate.de but the one I wanted there was sadly out of stock

[coral tartan]

Ram inflation joke 😔

[edgy laurel]

B840, oof

someone actually bought that

[reef grove]

yeah I couldnt change it anymore, i asked about it the other day remember

[frank zealot]

B840? Is that gen 3 secondary slots?

[topaz veldt]

Damn

[frank zealot]

Or gen 4

[reef grove]

It has 2 gen4 m2 slots and one gen 3

[topaz veldt]

Damn my b850 has two gen 5 m.2 and gen 5 gpu

[topaz veldt]

Gen 3 should be illegal

[pure garnet]

b840 is a renamed a620 pretty much

[reef grove]

Well the day we discussed all of that, wether I should change it, was actually the day they shipped it. So now I have that. But its not bad, atleast for my purposes 🥺 I only turn it on to game anyway

[pure garnet]

it’s a really stinky chipset

[topaz veldt]

Ah that's misleading

[topaz veldt]

It never came. Remember?

[shell void]

itll be amusing if they reuse a620 again as b940 for zen 6 boards

[reef grove]

😂

DHL sadly confirmed that it did unfortunately

[topaz veldt]

But remember you let your neighbor watch your house because you were traveling that day?

If @reef grove were in the US I have an actual stack of 980 Pro 2TBs I'm not using

[reef grove]

omg thats the same one I saw on amazon actually

that was actually the one i was considering aswell because WD and Kingston are the 2 i had the best experience with so far

[topaz veldt]

Wd is good

[reef grove]

🥺 Id still take them, dont mind waiting 90 years for them to arrive

[edgy laurel]

https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/ssds/sandisk-wd-blue-sn5100-2tb-ssd-review

[reef grove]

is this the real live, is this just fantasy

[brave panther]

2tb on a single chip
impressive

[reef grove]

(i have no idea what a rhapsody is but it sounds good , the article)

[reef grove]

Sounds good, thank you!

This 1 wont require a heatsink either?

[edgy laurel]

We still prefer the Blue SN5100 as a secondary or game-focused drive, or perhaps as a budget laptop upgrade drive, but we think it’s to the point that this drive could work anywhere. It feels like it could replace low-end TLC options without issue. **There’s something about this drive that puts it ahead of the pack in comparison to some of the older QLC drives, mostly due to the flash. It’s power-efficient and has excellent latency, which makes it feel like a high-end drive a lot of the time. **

[edgy laurel]

Unlikely. Whats it being used for?

[reef grove]

Installing games from steam

[edgy laurel]

yeah it'll be fine

[keen plaza]

y'all think this is a good price/PC?

my laptop that I have rn, sucks, has only 64gb of space, 4gb ram non removable and and i5 it's the surface laptop go and I really want an upgrade.

[reef grove]

Yall are gonna laugh when i tell yall what other medium i bought with the PC, besides the motherboard thing

A 4TB HDD... for games 😔

[coral tartan]

i got 4 2tb nvmes for games 🥱

[reef grove]

in my defense it works well enough with all the old games I have, but anything like Battlefield 6 and Dying Light the beast is making the entire PC freeze up with it 😩

[reef grove]

Me too once i order this WD one 😏

oh nvm you said 4

[coral tartan]

the storage tax be hitting 😔

[reef grove]

I got 32 gigs of DDR5 last month 😎 that would be the best flex i have

[edgy laurel]

I've never felt I needed more than 2TB of game space, but i'm also sitting on a gigabit internet connection.

[coral tartan]

64 lil bro

[reef grove]

I concede, you have the bigger ... wallet 😂

[coral tartan]

the gpu

[wraith steeple]

[reef grove]

I always downloaded with a max of 30mb/s.

When i put things on the m2 i suddenly had 250 mbs 🥹

[reef grove]

5070ti
7800X3d as a cpu

[arctic bronze]

You need to upgrade to the gt 210

[torpid cargo]

rookie numbers 😉

[edgy laurel]

more space or faster internet won't make much of a difference day to day.

[torpid cargo]

I know lol, I only have a 1tb in my gaming machine

[reef grove]

i remember the days of leaving my pc on overnight to install 70gb games, because it took me 8 hours 🥺

[coral tartan]

This was the closest I could do

[edgy laurel]

someone needs a monitor upgrade

[reef grove]

as we say in germany, i do not want your electrical bill 😂

[reef grove]

what is an R5 230-

isnt that thing "ancient"

[edgy laurel]

talking about the display, not the image. Also, Win+Shift+S my dude

[reef grove]

What do you use that pc for? 😮 with such a beast of a processor and so much ram and space, but such a graphics card?

[coral tartan]

the gpu was so old it didnt support my moniter

[reef grove]

or do you have another GPU

[coral tartan]

Here's the og image

[reef grove]

https://tenor.com/view/reaction-my-eyes-cant-unsee-burn-gif-7225082

that gpu isn't even that old

[reef grove]

2014 right?

[coral tartan]

its a 5120x1440p 240hz mini led moniter

[coral tartan]

like 2019

oh the r5

[reef grove]

Huh google said that it was brought out in april 2014

[coral tartan]

its like a rerelase of a 2009 oe 2011

[reef grove]

yes do you have another GPU? to fit to the i9?

[coral tartan]

i use a 1650 super

[wraith steeple]

My first video card has over a decade and a half over it

[coral tartan]

still bad but useable

[pure garnet]

64gb of 4800

you just make poor decisions on loop huh

[coral tartan]

its 6000

[torpid cargo]

someone actually bought a neo g9

[reef grove]

that might be the only category where im not blown out of the water then, compared to you 😂 with 5070ti

everything else is insane

[coral tartan]

i didnt figure out bios

[wraith steeple]

Someone forgot to enable XMP

[coral tartan]

i did later

after people told me

[pure garnet]

xmp

[reef grove]

Well thank you @edgy laurel@frank zealot I know what to pick now 😊

[coral tartan]

ruining kids ram fr

[coral tartan]

it came with my pc on marketplace

[pure garnet]

just manual tune

[reef grove]

and @topaz veldt ill try and nail it on the neighbour. maybe i can get something out of it 😂

[topaz veldt]

its probably their fault anyway

[edgy laurel]

a bunch of people did. surprised to see that splotchy backlight bleed looking effect

[reef grove]

Yeah maybe its their revenge for the drone i parked in their tree a few months earlier 🤔

[topaz veldt]

I bought two!

[reef grove]

Anyway i gotta go make dinner, thank yall for the help ❤️ cya around

[torpid cargo]

I had the oled g9 and hated it, the menu sucked, and the monitor flashed any time you launched a game not in native res

[coral tartan]

[topaz veldt]

They were picky with cables, once I got a cable that was more than like $16 I was golden

[wraith steeple]

Still waiting for that theoretical, mythical Dual 4K Dell monitor Guilty showed me some time back

[coral tartan]

well mine isnt oled so i didnt have that issue

[edgy laurel]

you know for as good as Cyberpunk looks and how big that world is, its not that large of a game in comparison to some more modern titles.

[torpid cargo]

still has the same menu

[reef grove]

Oh one more thing @edgy laurel what do you think of the Crucial P310 (CT2000P310SSD2) the mini one that could go into a steamdeck?

[coral tartan]

true it sucks but idc that much about it

[brisk jolt]

https://tenor.com/view/snail-gif-10110182939587959896

[topaz veldt]

how much are you in a monitors menu?

[coral tartan]

its a 2020 game that came out on last gen consoles

[topaz veldt]

100%, my Neo G9 monitors menus are better than my LG G4s

[torpid cargo]

hmm maybe, I just used the cable that came with it lol. but i didn't have it long enough to try other cables. I returned it after like 3 days, cause it was so annoying

[torpid cargo]

it was the "smart" version, so it booted to the menu every time it turned on

[edgy laurel]

uh, don't have a steamdeck but we can look up compatability real quick

[topaz veldt]

weird

[coral tartan]

this moniter came with my pc it was all 1k

[torpid cargo]

yeah, may have had a setting to boot to last used input, but wasn't satisfied with the image quality so returned it

[wraith steeple]

Tandem?

Man I can't keep up

Oh wait didn't mean that to be a reply my bad

there will be 27" and 32" 5120x2880p 165Hz monitors next year

[edgy laurel]

thats just a resolution, monitors could be multiple sizes

[wraith steeple]

[shell void]

IPS and QD-OLED

4x the pixel count of 1440p, 1.77x the pixel count of 2160p

[coral tartan]

aint it still an ultrawide tho?

no it's 16:9

[wraith steeple]

Peanut Palace? Wut

the ultrawide version would be 6880x2880p

4k too much for gpu sometimes

[edgy laurel]

spark you need 45" 6880x2880p frfr

pascal was waste the second dlss 2 dropped pretty much

[coral tartan]

i paid 12$ for shipping tho

[brisk jolt]

DLSS4 is great but FG is practically unusable on a 4060/5060 especially with a entry level-ish CPU

[coral tartan]

so my gpu was 12$

[edgy laurel]

brother.. google

not hard enough, it was right in the comments of the first hit

[wraith steeple]

[coral tartan]

true

[brisk jolt]

i started off with a 4060, and I went to my friend’s house to try marvel rivals on it, his system’s crippled without DLSS4 and FG is practically unusable

[coral tartan]

but it runs on ps4 and a 4060 is much better than a ps4

[turbid locust]

Rivals is like weirdly heavy

[brisk jolt]

and yeah 4060’s hella weak looking back

[coral tartan]

this is why 5060 is the meta for prebuilts to have

[brisk jolt]

I finally downloaded it just now to play with friends and its so CPU intensive

[coral tartan]

would mine struggle

[brisk jolt]

they also have a 18v18 gamemode, my guy with his 4060 running DLSS4 performance at 1080p 240 fps drops to practically sub 120

has linus fixed his braces yet

[indigo walrus]

But also... I'm still waiting for the video to load. They must've uploaded it using dial-up. 😏

[dusty lotus]

one day i will downgrade from 4k to dual stacked 1080 monitors for compactness and uhhh because im cool

[sand ivy]

sounds like some big news

[topaz veldt]

2X 1080 is like 5K

[dusty lotus]

no thats half of 4k

im talking stacked on top of each other

32in 4k is cool and all but i just like 24in more

i already got a 24in 1080 as a secondary for another pc and main

[sand ivy]

i have 1 24inc, 75hz philips monitor, and one ancient lg one which has really bad color and angles.
my 144hz asus one broke..

[dusty lotus]

i basically downgraded from a 4k240 oled to 4k144 miniled

and im thinking about just doing stacked 1080

[shell void]

why r u downgrading displays

[steel stream]

bad eyes or smth

[shell void]

must be

[steel stream]

Just bought a 1100 lumen Phillips hue light and it's not enough for my bedroom sadly

I just wanted temp control

[shell void]

not bright enough?

[steel stream]

yeah not bright enough

[shell void]

do you only have one light fixture?

[topaz veldt]

@turbid locust

[steel stream]

yeah

was just gonna buy the 1600 lumen one

[shell void]

yeah i can imagine one 1100LM bulb not being enough

[topaz veldt]

I love server peoples

[shell void]

i have three 1200s in my ceiling fan

[dusty lotus]

i dont fw 4k that much as i did when i first experienced it on a 27in

like yeah 140-163 ppi is cool but the defaultness and simpleness of a basic 24in 1080 monitor just hits differently

[steel stream]

my rooms fairly tiny, and I using just one led Lamp previously, guess I should try and see how bright it is to compared

[dusty lotus]

dont get me wrong my eyesight is very good i can see individual pixels on my phone up close

[shell void]

i think philips has a 1500LM multi-cct E26 A19 bulb

[dusty lotus]

i am just that type of person who would be fine with a 24in 1080

[shell void]

if you dont care about colors then you could get that which just has a physical switch to change between white points

[topaz veldt]

https://tenor.com/view/yuck-gif-8157463497652432250

[dusty lotus]

and with 2 of those 24in stacked on top i can play a game and watch a video by just shifting my focus up and down

[steel stream]

https://www.amazon.com/Philips-Hue-Bluetooth-Compatible-Assistant/dp/B095KV6RFY/ref=sr_1_16 was just gonna buy this tbh

[reef grove]

i said the same, until i got a QHD 27inch and now i cant go back 😭

especially if its a good qhd vs a medium fhd, the colour range was such an insane shift

[steel stream]

i gotta find a new way to charge my phone and watch now, I changed lamps

[steel stream]

e-ink monitor

[shell void]

this has mediocre color rendering, and it flickers https://optimizeyourbiology.com/smart-light/philips-hue-a21-color

you can filter and search for smart lights in here: https://optimizeyourbiology.com/smart-light-database

[steel stream]

I curse you for getting me interested in light bulb temperatures and more, but I do appreciate the help

[shell void]

if you can fit A21 bulbs then you want this: https://optimizeyourbiology.com/smart-light/ge-cync-direct-connect-a21

https://www.bestbuy.com/product/cync-a21-smart-led-light-bulbs-1-pack-color-changing-full-color/J7GJZS9CZV

1800LM max white with no flicker and decent CRI

be careful about handling these higher powered A21 bulbs though they get hot as fuck

[steel stream]

much cheaper too

[shell void]

oh cool this one can go down to 2200K

my govee h6008s stop at 2700K

[pure garnet]

tf does this mean

“yeah man the eye gouging just feels natural”

[shell void]

im at 3500K most of the time but sometimes i want 2700K

i kinda wanna pick up some of the GE Cyncs to play with now

[steel stream]

https://www.amazon.com/Philips-Hue-Ambiance-Spectrum-1000K-20000K/dp/B0FNC2ZKDT/ref=sr_1_3 I've got this rn and i just like that it can go so low in temp, sometimes I just like a nice orange light ya know

[shell void]

should be able to do the same with that cync

though note that it's a larger bulb (A21) than that A19 Hue that you have

idk if itll fit in your fixture

[steel stream]

I think it'll work but I will def check

measure 0 buy twice

[topaz veldt]

@steel stream its a little sad to have only 8 cores but I have to admit the heat output is a lot less on the 9800X3D

[steel stream]

el cheapo light fixture will be getting an a21 bulb

[steel stream]

RIP 265K, but I understand

[topaz veldt]

Yeah 🙁

265K is with its new owner today

[steel stream]

<120w output is a lot more desirable

[topaz veldt]

especially on SFF

[steel stream]

hopefully it's in a good home

[topaz veldt]

yeah younger dude - super pumped to get it

[pure garnet]

i need a new owner for my 265k

[topaz veldt]

I dunno what I was paid for it exactly as he bought Z890i Nova and CPU for $415

I was happy with that

[pure garnet]

not a bad price on his end either

i paid 550 for master + 265k

[topaz veldt]

yeah i think everyone is happy in that deal

z890i nova is a solid mitx board, seems sold out in most places

newegg has it for 285

just wish the 9800X3D would do 8000 CL40 easily

once my kiddos are done playing on the other 9800X3D I am going to swap CPUs

[steel stream]

ok yeah @shell void just bought the ge cync, if I have to buy a bigger lamp so be it

[steel stream]

yeah I was pretty impressed with it

[topaz veldt]

crazier me would pull the 9950X3D and 6000 CL26 kit and drop it in mITX B850 board to see wtf

[steel stream]

yolo?

[fringe vigil]

hi

[topaz veldt]

oldtho

I wish I had a 6000 CL30 kit I'd forget about it

[shell void]

looks like itll be fine

[topaz veldt]

the 8000 CL40 xmp profile is staring at me like yo

[shell void]

itll probably stick out of the end and look silly but itll fit

[topaz veldt]

I have it set manually to 6000 CL30 for now

[steel stream]

yeah if it bothers me too much I will simply buy a bigger $20 lamp

[shell void]

certified banger

[pure garnet]

i have 3 of those bulbs in my room

[topaz veldt]

I don't know why we haven't teamed up in arc holes

[edgy laurel]

i still don't even own it lmao

[fringe vigil]

Who’s seen the new iPhone update

It’s kinda clean

[steel stream]

how are they? is it easy to change the light settings

[edgy laurel]

my poor heart can't handle the tense pvp

[topaz veldt]

what the hell are you doing over there

[steel stream]

are you talking about ios 26?

[civic reef]

Unfortunately, the R7 2700 & 16GB didn't work out

[edgy laurel]

enjoying others goopin with no risk

[fringe vigil]

Yh

[civic reef]

Guy apparently doesn't have them anymore

[turbid locust]

meh

[steel stream]

i've been using ios 26 for a few months, it's alright

[pure garnet]

the assistant integration kept dropping but the app itself is easy and solid

[civic reef]

Yeah I am gonna have to wait a while and get other stuff

[edgy laurel]

I gave my 2700x/board/RAM away to a friend

[vale cosmos]

it has killed the performance on my 13 pro

[civic reef]

That would sell for like 150-200 here lol

[steel stream]

I wish I didn't have to download another app but oh well

[edgy laurel]

lets be honest its ass

i'd take whatever features were added but give me the old visual style back

[pure garnet]

and yes i keep my room that white

[steel stream]

sweet, orange

[edgy laurel]

if you're on iphone 12 or iPad 10 (same SoC) hardware or earlier, performance is trash

[steel stream]

but that looks pretty nice

[edgy laurel]

my iPad 10 is super sluggish now

[fringe vigil]

It’s clean now

[edgy laurel]

i can't be bothered. i only use it for youtube

[gentle gale]

it’s not bad at all

[edgy laurel]

performance is fine on my 16PM

[fringe vigil]

So why am I getting update 2 months later

[gentle gale]

26.1 is actually pretty good for me 🤷‍♂️

[edgy laurel]

but i still don't like how it looks

[vale cosmos]

cause you didnt check settings??

[jaunty horizon]

for 3200 -3600 , what slots do I put my ram in?

I got em in a1 b1 rn

[steel stream]

heresy

[edgy laurel]

Hey Gen A's and zoomers, you can learn about how slow the internet was for us back in the day in todays LTT

I used to spend all afternoon waiting for an episode of Red vs. Blue to download

[jaunty horizon]

Im trying to get my new ram to run at 3600mhz but it wont

[edgy laurel]

enable XMP but then manually set the clockspeed to 3200 and see what happens

[jaunty horizon]

okay

[jaunty horizon]

Someone on Reddit said they forced it to run 3600 but idk how

[vale cosmos]

i would assume 2 and 4 by reading that?

[steel stream]

ram speeds vary heavily from cpu to cpu, mem stick to mem stick, mobo to mobo

[jaunty horizon]

I got a Ryzen 5 5600x

This ram

[steel stream]

Your integrated memory controller could just not be able to handle 3600MHz

other 5600xs might be able to

[jaunty horizon]

And a x370 Killer SLI/ac

[vale cosmos]

what motherboard?!

[steel stream]

just do what Guilty said

[jaunty horizon]

X370 Killer SLI/ac

[green marsh]

most likely your issue. I could get 4x16GB DDR4-3200 works no issue on ASUS Prime X370 Pro (T-Topology), but 3600 required newer board imo

[jaunty horizon]

Didn’t go to 3200

[jaunty horizon]

A guy on Reddit from a year ago said he got 3600 to work but idk how

[edgy laurel]

and for all the reasons akn mentioned, we don't either

[steel stream]

yes but that's his hardware

not yours

[jaunty horizon]

he had the same mobo but that’s all I know

[steel stream]

same mobo yes, but not your motherboard

[vale cosmos]

id guess its a chipset deal where to get 3600 youll need to do some more manual OC and its really hard to say if the returns are worth it lol

can you get 3200mhz?!

[jaunty horizon]

Didn’t work

Should I switch slots?

[vale cosmos]

i would swtich to 2 and 4

[edgy laurel]

"didn't work" is a bit vague.

[fringe vigil]

look whats coming out soon..
