Get it with a 6400 or something for more AMD points
You could probably find one for a similar price(?)
don't need one
1:1 on that board is sacrilege
i’m gonna let it warm up before i do anything with it
but i’ll have booted in like an hour or so probably
i stole it for homies brother
scammer get scammed
-rep
i’ll just have to pull from one of these

i think the peerless assasin should have a spare cmos
true
i’ll probably grab the one from the x870 tomahawk since that board is broken
I'm a bad price reference but I'd say like $550-600
this might be the craziest question I’ve asked here but
Crazy? I was crazy once
You guys floss before you brush or brush before you floss?
Both at the same time 
Cause my whole life I’ve flossed after I brushed right
But the other day I accidentally flossed before I brushed
And my teeth had never felt cleaner
So I’ve been doing it for like the past week or so and had good results
floss - brush - tongue scrape
Flossing gets the big chunks out from between
Was I just doing it wrong this whole time
Potentially

this board has no idea what today is xd
Oh you bought one?
yeah testing out my 9850X3D QS
oh I didn’t even peep that
I feel like it makes more sense before no?
but posting 9800MT/s wtf?
It does
It’s like rinsing your car before you wash it
cause ur pulling out the stuff between your teeth which you can brush away
22 years on this planet and it never occurred to me until a week ago
I've.. never flossed except before going to the dentist
I just brush really, really good
Im trying open my BIOS rq but my laptops right arrow key is broken
T-T
And when in the menu my external keyboard doesn't have power
Apparently this looks worse than if you just didn’t floss at all lol
a usb keyboard should have power whenever the laptop's on
Not in this screen it seems
I barely get plaque buildup and if I do it's so easy to just pop it off with a metal poker or some shit
I haven't been to the dentist in like 3 years since my guy retired
all my teeth are great, I've never had a cavity, I never have any stationary pains
9800X3D owners around the world coping with the fact that their beloved CPU is obsolete
but but but....
best cpu evar
huh
Hello. Is it bad to buy a MDM locked macbook? (Is it possible to bypass) not know much about it but seen a cheap one on ebay so asking...
wtf is MDM
MDM = Mobile Device Management
stolen from a business
oh yeah don’t buy that shit lmao
I floss like every other day I think
1000% do not buy. It's fucked.
Ahh okay thanks!
guess why it's cheap on ebay?
Yeah the moment you go to reset it it’ll be locked forever lol
in honor of mac and floppa i will try 8000 first
8000 on what
12900ks mpower
only one way to find out
it’s obsolete bro
it’s so 2024
it’s 2026 we’re all using the 9850X3D
if you use a 9800X3D still you are poor
yeah pretty much
I might buy a 50 refresh if they’re actually worth
7800X3D is practically a relic from the stone age
Otherwise Zen 6 or bust
I’m probably gonna daily ARL till zen 6
Unless ARL-R is cool
you NEED nvl
I mean let’s be honest I’ll probably try NVL eventually
yeah
I’ve tried every socket since AM4 so
48c 288MB go brrrr



legit a grown ahh woman screamed when she saw me, i was 5 metres away
brutal
deadass
consider reincarnating
respawn
LMAO
lmao
yeah not much else to say besides that’s brutal man
I can feel that response time with frame gen isn’t that good, that normal?
yes
so the first flight of the mpower has the fans stuck at 100% @turbid locust @merry stirrup
i have p12 pros in here this sounds like delta fans
LOL
Depends on a few things
Your base FPS mostly
I’d say closer to 75-80
Since you do lose some frames when using FG
Want it to drop down to minimum 60
either my hub or one of the fan headers is broken bc it wont report rpm but controls fine
i checked that i have a fan in slot 1 too
its alive
it's gonna explode
why is the doohickey so bright
thats what everyone complained about
mpower pov
bank security camera footage
yeah my 15 pro max is being annoying today
is it worth putting a 256GB nvme in my proxmox box for truenas cache
this be a 5nail question, but imma say no
I don't have a ton of cache and my box is fineeeee
mkay
what are you storing on truenas
media, filebackups, programs
yeah I would say no cache is probs fine
media def doesn't need it, programs probs not, filebackups is probably all smaller stuff
hmmm okie sounds good
what code is memory training
i dont remember, when the board isnt displaying
judging by seeing the same numbers over and over it ain’t doing 8000
oh right i didn’t set sa or anything forgot this is intel
this is either booting or letting out magic smoke
honestly l2arc should be used in like, 10gb/s+ networking
I get no perf benefit on 3x 8tb drives
10 seconds in
Never seen a soul use that cpu
🥀
you know 100% utilization isn’t surprising right
and a 13900kf is nothing worth flexing lol
He said its gonna explode so I posted that
Yeah I think it died anyways
Rip my cpu 🥀
Might need to sell one stick of ram for a new cpu now



again I never got anything above 7600 stable on that board with a 14900K lmao
i’m at 7200 rn
i think i’m just getting alder lake’d
On 12th gen fr
Lol
this chip aint real
@merry stirrup can i send more than 1.45v sa
nevermind i actually killed the windows install
so this is on hold for a minute
Is this coil whine ok?
XD
windows explorer is gone after the 10 errors/second memory config
I don't even hear coil wine there
That’s when you know you’re doing it right
no bro this is like the same way i blew up my cpu
this is why it’s in a second pc
crazy bro the board convinced me
Alder can’t handle 1.45v SA?
i mean that's what i had it at
bro madness said that even arrow lake doesnt want above 1.43
not if you keep buying oled tvs
true
i had 1.45 sa, vdd2, vddq cpu, vddq, vdd
1.41v SA gang
1.45 vddq is where it wants to be
for 7200 40-48-48-128 💀
VCCSA is how most intel cpus have been blown up over the years
and is coil whine on motherbaord ok?
No
So when I sent 1.5v through my 265K that was bad?
find out where the kaboom happens for us 
1.43v apparently
ROFL
not much here for now
I'm used to that Portland grey sky mist
supposed to pick up later this afternoon
This is rain rain
@merry stirrup what psu was the long bus one again?
EVGA 1300/1600 G2/T2
so Superflower
Costs more than some people’s builds 
@wraith steeple EVGA P2 1200 was literally Superflower Leadex Platinum 1200W with EVGA customizations
We're all aware
Well ain't this interesting to read.
https://wccftech.com/tsmcs-advanced-packaging-production-lines-are-so-bottled-up-that-the-firm-is-now-looking-to-outsource-orders/
I was wondering in which section there at some point would become so overburdened, they'd consider outsourcing as well.
Those are rookie numbers
@merry stirrup damnit
The one that has all the io ports you'd like. With heatsinks on the board preferably
https://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails?ItemList=Combo.4848541 this is a pretty solid deal
x870e tomahawk + 32gb of ram that's usable
That's actually pretty good
Includes a basic ass cooler
This isn’t even ram. What is even the currency
280mm aio with LINK support
I'm just looking for a replacement Mobo
Euro 😭, it’s a pricing error (at least I hope so) on the dummy sticks, 1euro is Abt 1.5 cad btw
Woo - USPS is ahead of schedule, my 9950X3D build could be back together tomorrow
Stick to B650 or go for x870?
You need to compare to those great British pounds. It’s such a great currency, it’s in the name
what are you hoping to gain?
I’d rather flex my b650 than an x870 I don’t use fully
Just bomb ass wifi and reliability
Well then it’s about 1GBP per 1.07 euro
That’s probably the worst reason I’ve heard to go x870
if anything, current gen B series is B850
Your sarcasm detector is down today
But yea looking for a replacement Mobo
I went with one and am happy with it - I think its only lacking USB4
It's a PG Lightning Wifi and it's broken and I'm too stupid to fix it and solder it
What’s broken and how did you do it
It has parental guidance lighting?
Why do you need a new board for wifi
As that’s a decent board
the WWI ship camo board
Phantom gaming
Wifi Antenna Brokey like really Brokey and the Wifi adapters are slow as fuck compared to the original board
👍
What kind of wifi adapter
hi hi hi hi
who willingly bought that
PCIE kind
i'm confused, where do the antennas connect to?
I am so confused at the reason to get a new board
That's not the one lol
You can jut buy a PCIe adapter with a stand alone antenna
If your complaining about antenna not giving good enough signal
?
apparently
I'm such a dumbass it wasn't PG Lightning my mind is jumbled up
- 1 x Plastic Cover for Wi-Fi Module
But yeah buy something like this
look at the pictures though, there are no antenna connectors in the I/O https://pg.asrock.com/MB/AMD/B650M PG Lightning wifi/index.asp
that is what manual says 🤷♂️
I broke the wifi coax thing and I am not smart enough to fix it
What PCIe wifi adapter did you buy
Hm
so they're just screwed into the i/o shield
it's literally the same chip everywhere, and if "bad speeds compared to motherboard", then issue is somewhere else
as 90% of boards just uses AX200 or 210
i dunno, realtek and mediatek have gained strong footholds
don't even get me started on cheaper Gigabyte boards
Have you tried removing the motherboard wifi module and running just the aftermarket PCIe one?
I haven't really removed the motherboard WiFi but I have just been using the aftermarket PCIE one for months
I think it's worth a try to remove the original one and retest the speeds with only the aftermarket connected
did you update the wifi driver
Also do you know if you're running 2.4ghz or 5ghz
What is low speeds?
do you know how to identify which one is in use? Disabled the one you're not using in Device Manager so you don't get confused?
ax210 is like the golden standard for wifi cards
so if that's really what you have then you have a config issue elsewhere
Or signal issue
Updated it and yes got it on 5hz
I vote for removal because
- it's easy
- they're already set on board is broken and replacing the board, so nothing to lose
I identify the one as Wifi 3 and I've been using that ever since
It should be a simple screw
you really should right click and disable the one you're not using
Idk if having both could cause bandwidth or signal issues
Disable the other wifi? Alr let me give that a go
You can also disable it in bios
what on earth are we supposed to be doing with those
ya know, i would be happy if the just stopped shipping phone with flashes for the camera
to force people to stop using them
At least the speed is more tolerable
wifi chip is right here? just yank it
so this changed from what it was before?
That's what I said
guy was probably connected to his wifi over the onboard with no antennas connected wondering why performance was terrible
disabling the wifi card from the device manager and yes
nope I've been using the wifi from the adapter
Now my outlook data file is 18gb
i need to hire an intern to test all my memory lol
ngl it will be profitable to repair "broken" modules
i don't even want to repair failed dimms i just need someone to load them up in servers and run a diag
you have perfectly capable child worker at home 😏
how would you know what to repair? honestly curious
software that will point to bad IC's?
If i was local lol
first is visual check if there are any broken traces then the IC level one
wtf is a v1
no
truly you're not diag'ing individual component issues on a dimm
WWII flying bomb
you'd really have to remove each IC and float them on a test pcb or something
so there isonly so much you can do if it passes a visual inspection
yeah naaa
do these work?
i was just thinking i'm sure there is a test rig
wtf is a v1
thats just a connectivity check
wonder what that is doing as I don't see any visual logic on that topside at least. Just checking continuity/resistance?
it won't tell you ECC errors
that is talking about vulnerabilities
i just need to verify no (un)correctable errors
oh, now those are intense
Best you could do that’s more thorough than that would be a dedicated bench that has a strong enough cpu to run high-test ddr4 at its rated speeds alongside a memtest usb
used market is dumb too
talking about testing modules that don't POST at all, for possibly bad IC's
server grade equipment have built in diag boot systems
INNOVENTIONS, Inc., the leading manufacturer of portable computer memory testers, is now shipping the RAMCHECK LX DDR4 and the RAMCHECK LX DDR4 Pro for testing and identifying industry standard DDR4 ECC and non-ECC SDRAM modules.
"DDR4 memory is now the standard for servers and PCs," said Dr. Dav...
Mmm yeah that’s gonna take something with an fpga i would imagine
Yeah it looks like these have exactly that #tech-chat-2 message
Oh hey much like the last two things that were posted lmfao
man I don't really see a difference
Probably just costed down on the v1 version
and then there is AM4 X3D hell
well no one is selling them used yet
almost retirement time for our 9800x3d @topaz veldt
atleast hp price wont increase as much as consumer market lmao
@next surge no.
Hey Peyton
I already scheduled the e-recycler
hello

H24M arrives tomorrow 
@turbid locust for ARL?
Yeah
nice
don’t you have three of those to melt down for precious metals?
Can u enable legacy usb support with aptio bios
ugh that name gives me nightmares
Different one, but same prnounciation https://www.apptio.com/
which part. the AMI part for me since its the name of a customer of ours
are largest one
Aptio setup utility
fintech stuff
yeah
look for anything pertaining to peripherals or i/o
USB Configuration is a good start probably
Nothing related

i don’t think they put it in 2 dimm boards
apparently it has it?

whats faster for gaming 1T 4800mhz cl38 or 2T 6600mhz cl32 ? 2x16gb 1r8
imagine I still can’t do over 8800 
Imagine my IMC and H16A capped out at the same time
i hope not bc my h16a and h24m didn’t change anything
i mean... 9000 is not easy street
I have to de-goop another 5090 Master
@turbid locust buy my TUF OC EK block
I am not watercooling a $2000 gpu
why not
resale lmao
the robot applying goo to all the gpus is your nemesis
bro it just swaps on - I RMA'd the TUF that had the block
Yeah but then I’d have a build a whole loop
hey guys, as we all know ram prices are bonkers right now so ive been looking at facebook marketplace for some used kits, right now i have the option to buy two kits of ram
both are gskill trident z
32gb ddr5 6000 cl36
96bg ddr5 5600 cl40
i can get both of these right now for $300 and they are going into a 9800x3d / 5080 build
would the 5600 cl40 kit suffice for that cpu? i know people say the "sweet spot" is 6000 cl30
any and all help is greatly appreciated!
ain’t nobody got time for that
I wonder how much a whole loop costs for the lifetime of a card vs. just plumbing it to your sink and running the faucet with a low flow thru a water filter
LOL
Its a good idea right?
no bro lmao
@pure garnet how much is the 4070 again
just forego the radiators and water pump and just give that baby a constant fresh flow to a drain
$0.005 per gallon
50 gallons/day is like 50 cents
no, 25 cents
So turn the flow up to 100 gallons per day, $0.50/day
interesting power consumption diffrence between old CRAC and new CRAC
You could constant flush a loop with no recirculation, cold water, for $547 for three years
that's cheaper than a fucking loop
short cycling though
we have like 8 new 30k units going in
yea i just looked at consumption, and will prob contact installers to have this checked
we have two big ones and datacenter is just 0.003% of load 
these are each 1.25MW
dyamb
sorry it'll go up to 16 in total, we have 8 today
ours is 2mw each afaik
I would be surprised if they are over 1.3 MW, thats the largest that detroit diesel makes
and all it does is power compressors in case of power outage 🤣
8 x 1.25MW is just DC, we have 8-10 1.0 MW for the rest of campus
my biggest issue is that once I am done bring in second service, 8+ more CRACs, upgrading existing CRACs, and GPU farms, we will need a fuel drop every 3.1 days
So we have permits in for another gigantor tank
will you burry it or above ground
Always bury
They're also doing a system whereas we can valve and pump fuel down from one part of the campus
isnt there a risk of them literaly floating away in case of flods
Not when you have to blast into bedrock no
When we built the newest part of the campus we had to put seismic sensors in the DC due to the blasting - this area of PA is basically granite
@odd sable I'm on course for completing phase 4 tonight 
Our datacenter "floor1" is 40 ft below ground level
noice
that sounds more like floor -2 or -3 to me
with ground level being floor 0,
also humidifier has not turned off yet and didnt satisfiy the required humidity levels
floor 2 is above ground, "Star" (ground) is actually 2 floors below
When I worked in DOD contractor we had to actually spray into the atmosphere
"ground level" being the enterance level, assuming its not built into a hill
i would preffer that solution but this is a steam cylinder system
Its just numbering on a freight elevator - the point is that we go down
since with spray you also get free cooling
yeah it kinda bugged me I dunno wtf the fluid was but it sprayed out super high pressure from nozzles throughout the production floor
deionised water
Department of Defense?
it had a color
yes
if you use straight water then minerals eventualy build up as dust
Yea I'm probably going to adjust some things
What's the best cooler right now again?
i dunno i think it was a commercial product
you can see the plumbing at the top of the photo
is running for exactly 7 minutes considered sort cylcing ?
depends on the DC rating
duty cycle, I mean
so expensive unit yet it lacks cooling modulation capability
maybe new small modern inverter compressors thats ok - but that looks not ideal
that's funny
when you said crac I pictured big boys
B650-E 
its smol
dc is just there to support business and it isnt a revenue source
trying to find one of ours
This is one
thats 20k, its going to 30k along with the other 6 in the room
that room, I can't show, is now 100% vacant and becoming our GPU/high density floor
whats that
hi
And whats that
humidity control
we have simmilar siemens and vertiv units in rooms that house OT systems like motor drives and critical controls
CRAC unit
What doies crac mean
old term "computer room AC"
it pressurizes the floor with like 50 degreeF air
Lemme translate that in C
"cold"
damn thats cold only 10 C
yeah its quite cold
whats your hot side temp?
depends on the rack
I have compute that's like intake + 10F
I also have compute thats intake + $OVER_LIMIT
lol
The big nightmares are obviously Dell XE9680s and Oracle Exadata racks
but I just finished designing a crazy dense high IO compute/scale-out NVMe platform that requires significant cooling
for me compute exausts air at 32c but lot of air gets blown by switches which dont produce that much heat
so by the end it gets diluted to 27c
our switching is not in the compute area
for some of these platforms the temps were so bad I had to do like "inward facing" pods and put a roof on them
as the intake fans were sucking hot air from around the racks
@brave panther
mmm data
sliding doors at either end, only cold air pumped into the fronts
the delta between front and rear are offensive
thos are only 1/2 rack units
my entire cold area is enclosed
is is normal to have it not enclosed?
well we did "pods" for these - our DC is 3 floors at like 50,000 sq ft per
yeah traditionally its hot/cold aisles
for general compute that's how I do it, but for GPU and Exadata it just can't
do you have any of those watercooled rear doors?
300 american dollars
it's a plain black card
my entire DC is size of your pod 
but i do have them across 10 locations
yeah but the fe looks better
we have .... 8 locations like that 😐
i wish you luck on facebook marketplace then
If you we're to recommend a b650.motherboard what would it be and why
kyoko why don't you just change your 4070 into a fe huhhhhh :p
atleast you dont have to uplink your access switches with OS2, for me mm doesent have enough range
We do
we run massive spine/leaf architecture @brave panther with 100 Gbps+ bidi between
brother bought a ventus and wonders why it's loud
in my defense
it's a fucking 3060
also i bought it during the gpu shortage
not like i had much choice
MSI I think is the only manufacturer this gen (5000) to not use a vapor chamber
it also can't go above 100% powerlimit
ooo i should undervolt it
my water is free with the hoa, i should do this
totally
just either run a 2 stage filter or an RO setup
in the winter here I can get crazy cold water
so just pull the trigger
M.2 nerds - is there a cable I can jam in an M.2 slot and like... make it go the other way by like 80mm
I want to use that slot but I can't put an NVMe with heatsink there - if I could make it do a 180 and be like 60-80mm long I could do an heatsink on an M.2
probably attainable on aliexpress
https://a.co/d/22qZE1p. can this fold?
misinfo express
framechasers ahh statement
https://a.co/d/88IBzl3. This should work right?
Really shouldn't, but probs
As long as the wire doesn't bend to hard should be fine
Don’t see why it wouldn’t
Just try not to crease it to hard
I believe in youu
hi
I have a quality iron
I need 8TB of NVMe in mITX
Snails up to things, plottin
Can fit so many clips of snail betraying randos on that bad boy
@topaz veldt is a piece of shit ||(in arc raiders)||
Lmao
All keks aside i am curious he has a handful of builds, what hes up to on the sff
9800x3d and 5090 last i talked to him
Right right, I mean storage wise
man i want to buy the 4070 from kyoko for the 300 usd but i also don't want to pay tax at the border
it's like 50/50
Would be a killer deal
i feel like i could smuggle it across the border if i really tried
For all purposes that was a joke
it was a joke
Can't be that difficult
i mean people smuggle drugs from the us to canada all the time
can't be that hard
Is that good or nah
what do you think
I have no idea
remember the average person on 3d mark is probably more likely to overclock
isnt the average what i got on avergae or what people in general got
why and how would it be what you got on average
idk
lol I am?
I am on failover internet right now
stupid question but like what’s stopping you from just putting it in a backpack and saying you had it already
i feel like the customs agent would be questioning who bringing a gpu across the border
But is it good for the resolution
are your games that you play playable at the resolution you play at
50-60 FPS in new titles on high settings, 100-180 in less demanding ones
New or demanding titles for me rn are RDR2, ARC Raiders, Helldivers 2, Stellar Blade
are you enjoying it or do you want more frames
and Cyperpunk
this is not a hard question to answer
Kinda want more
Hope i get that RX9060XT for christmas
get a 5070ti
Why
because its a good card
RX9060XT 16GB is good too
5070ti gets dlss and framegen
So that's your reason to not buy an nvidia gpu. okay then.
its not
I regret engaging I'm going back to my joint
dawg
average person in the pnw
vancouver isn't any better lmao
yay new highscore
no no more crack and fent
oh we have that too
are you even overclocking
I just bought an MSI ventus 5070ti, is it safe to use the 12v 2x6 adapter it comes with or should I use the 1st gen 12vhpwr cable that came with my seasonic atx 3.0 psu?
uhh well we have an area that we just don't go to that much anymore because of the drug problem
using the adapter that it comes with is okay
just use the cable it's cleaner
like if you have the cable use it if you don't use the adapter
we have several of those
https://www.reddit.com/r/formula1/comments/1phplwi/de_limburger_helmut_marko_reportedly_signed_alex/
@edgy laurel god damnit helmut
I can't think of a reason why i'd intentionally use that ugly adapter
Nah why
if I had a native method on the PSU
why are you just running 3d mark over and over again
shady
Just installed a driver update so I did it again to see if it changed anything
Ooh I should do pot stickers tonight
I have a 5lb bag from costco
thats too much
im not cooking all of it holy shit
how you gonna eat all of it before it expires
i just imagine you cooking 5lb of pot stickers in a comically small kitchen with a comically small pan
My kitchen is k\inda little
inda?
eys
KEYS
uhhhhhh
i can eat like 12 of them
60
XD
make some for floppa
I love having my freezer full of stuff tbh
frozen veggies that I can just steam in the microwave, stir fry kits, chicken, beef..
does instant ramen really expire
no lol
i found 2 year expired ramen in the back of my pantry cabinet
I have a 2 year old box of 20 that I'm still working through
its salt and more salt, it's fine
ugh i love salt
it's salt msg and noodles
is there good boba places in portland?
1908
I have never once had boba
truely a white person
its not a white thing, it's a snobby white girl thing
I like pumpkin spice lattes more
I'm a classic snobby white girl tyvm
i can't lie a snobby white girl is the first thing that pops into my mind when i think white
drink boba
try everything once yk
have you had durian before @wise bear
watching edward scissor hands
Speaking of which
I'm not a white girl I just want an excuse to send this photo of a Java Frappe Venti I got :)
just take the e already
HOOH
can anyone help with this ? i have never seen this error in my life and its confusing me
Best CPU Cooler in Big 25?
how spicy
White people spicy probably
chili pepper flakes, sriracha, soy sauce
absolute best? NH-D15G2
As near as makes no difference and 1/3 of the price and what most people buy? Thermalright x Assassin of the week. Just one of them.
Thanks Guilty I'll take that consideration
or phantom spirit
ok yeah white people spicy
that soy sauce really sneaks up on me man
get da bomb hot sauce
I thin I've seen that at walmart
it's a fun one
it's less spicy then i thought ngl
Mapo Tofu
Should build up your spice tolerance depending on which place you're on
What is big 25?
2025
A chonker 420 AIO
Which one can it even fit a Lian Li 216
Oh, AIO?
He didn't specify air cooler
Okay then: 360mm instead
case is really setup for top mount, otherwise need to remove the front 160's
honestly probably a normal gamer CPU that has no need for an AIO other than looks
Go look it up yourself
and extra complication
It's a simple Google search
Its 360
Guilty, I just saw a 16gb kit of ddr4 on marketplace
And I'm like "40 bucks? That might be easily flippable"
It's so crazy that the DDR5 RAM cost a lot now
I remember a crackhead stole 3 for me and it costed me 20$
.... Jesus christ... just stop speaking forever
Look mistakes where made xD. Was like my 2nd build was rocking a prime mobo (while it sufficed not amaze balls)
this is cool honestly
I have suggestions if you want
Like honest to God real suggestions
These are the current builds also added a sag bracket to the msi at the end attached to the bottom fans (rgb on the white build was just unplugged for the pic)
Or get a bigger case lol
Sold that bad boi few years back luckily 
i thought the zotac had a black banana connected to it
like that was my first thought
Well ya know xD
Has anyone here ever shipped anything overseas? If so, was it a PITA?
@merry stirrup BZ has interest in the B850Mpower but said they aren’t available in the EU
how did you get a hold of buildzoid
operation double the duty taxes
This fucking motherboard is going to circumnavigate the world
no not that mpower
the street power is probably going in my nas when i get another ram kit
but like ngl I would be surprised if BZ didn’t know about Chinese import services
i can assure you none of us are talking about the z790 typically
mac had no luck with it, floppa had no luck with and blew his cpu up on it, and my 12900ks seems to top out really early
I literally said B850Mpower twice
the lore of these boards grows
Big mac spotted
All while setting 7200 M/Ts CL48 records
i didn’t get 7000 working yet
gang
granted i stopped when the 10 errors a second broke windows explorer
I just DM’d him on discord to see if he’s even interested in having one shipped to him if possible lol
Not sure if he checks DMs or not
Do y'all think customs will tax me if I try bringing a b850m power over from the states?
probably
just stay here overnight
my shipping fee and taxes are like another 1/6th of the mobo
when i get back to my desk i think ill update the z790’s bios then get back to trying to tune it
Hotel would be the cost of the board tho
No
your generation is too pampered
Also it's a full 24 hours not overnight
I just got an oled monitor (LG 27GX700A-B) and I’m wondering if I should keep hdr on when playing games. I have some minimal input lag
that’s definitely doable
No no no I drive to @merry stirrup's house and knock on his door and sleep there
And steal his 5070ti and drive back
i’ve never used an intel contact frame before today and honestly
i think i can safely go without using them moving forward 👍
Bring gaming PC with you, without motherboard
Bring gaming PC home, with motherboard
Sounds like a long story
For older games is auto hdr worth turning on?
#tech-chat-2 message @edgy laurel
Customs why do you have a whole PC for a day trip to the states? Is this a bomb?
Yeah no that would probably work tho
they’re asking if they should have HDR on while playing games cause input lag
like HDR creates input lag
I'm pretty sure HDR used to cause input lag like a long ass time ago
W tree
Should I turn down settings? I have them on max and still get around 90 FPS
well is 90 not enough
HDR doesnt increase input latency on OLED
lotta "should I" questions. My question is "do you want to?"
^
Humans can’t see past 60fps anyway so
Humans can't see past 30 fps remember
30fps per eye
Well my my monitor goes to 280hrz so I’m wondering if I’m wasting it by keepingfps low
Nah but there's overhead SLI yk
Humans can’t see beyond 12 fps, the ideal 3d framed rate established by the 3DO
U having fun?
Yes? Then who gives a fuck
Your right. Thanks
Here is how we deal with questions like these. We'd simply lower some settings and see if we enjoy the results more.
Nvidia card? If you're trying to play older games, multiplayer games or just games that don't have native HDR support, Windows AutoHDR is probably the least effective way to go about it. Nvidia cards have RTX HDR and it does the job better and gives you a lot more control. In fact it gives you control in general, which AutoHDR doesn't.
If you haven't already, please please please run this. https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9N7F2SM5D1LR?hl=en-us&gl=US&ocid=pdpshare
This app lets you calibrate your HDR display to optimize it for HDR games (including Auto HDR) and other HDR content on your Windows 11 PC. Go through a series of steps to set the minimum and maximum brightness levels, as well as color saturation level, to create a new color profile that's made for your display.
We out here trying
snipping tool updates
oh not you too!
Thank you for the explanation. I just got my monitor today. Once I get home I’ll make sure to calibrate hdr. Another question I got this (LG 27GX700A-B) is there anything I should do to get the most out of it
Lol my friend is daisy chaining 2 Ethernet cables together and wondering why he can't get gigabit
read through this maybe? Look for suggested settings? https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/lg/27gx700a-b
oooOo Tandem panel
Oooooo
Lan party at an American friend's house
~~There's like 5 people who live in point Roberts ~~
Iykyk
Oh fuck that's your closest point?
Giant burnt blueberries?
that shit fucked me up
Is that a fig?
I don’t know
i was gonna say people take a hint from the season
Roasted chestnuts?

i'm sure I did once or twice but thats about it
Yeah I live in Vancouver
Can't say ive ever had the pleasure, but maybe one day
make me sick
@turbid locust @shell void any valorant enjoyers tonight?
Not even asking me smh
you would queue without us 2 min before we login
Sigh
mayhaps idk
5 stack comp when
I'm over here roasting chestnuts and dudes mail ordering grilled cheese
had to show my roommates the post because they kept getting hella confused when I mention it
lets be honest what would you rather have
"Canadian arrested for snuggling electronics across the border"
I got one in September, my service dates were basically the entire month of October. Didn’t have to go once after the orientation lol.
it's a MELT!
i should get dismissed since student
*smuggling not snuggling
You won’t lol
otherwise i’ll just mention suits or something and they’ll throw me out
i love how its the first hit on google for "you people make me sick", at least for me
I wanna do jury duty once icl
boy do i got the opportunity for you
Dude I know was in the middle of midterms and got selected for the grand jury lmao
condemn the single mother to prison
Tell them your family is all cops
not on edge sadly
i do have the option to delay it till june on the form
Lmao just saw someone in a heated vest
but i figured getting dropped in person would be easier
They actually want people who would watch shows I've heard
i haven't started wearing my heavy duty jacket
bro if court worked like suits i’d be down
that dude must be from Florida
I mytve ordered 2 USB pad warmers to go in my jackets once it gets icy (with a external 50000 mah battery ofc)
but it doesn’t
Lollll
Dude winters here usually don’t even require one
We MIGHT see single digits for a day or two
Even my 2 year old niece?
i still have shorts on and it’s 40s here
You can postpone until they don't let you postpone anymore
Average low for the season is like 25F
it's 9 degrees here in the mornings now and I just need my decent puffer or carhartt and it's fine
This is something people do?
I own a big winter coat but I’ve worn the fucker maybe twice in the last 3 years
You also don't get any more jury summons in the meantime most likely
Snail tings
I've been summoned twice and I just sat on my ass in the lobby until told to go home at 1pm
come January I'll have to wear it but for the most part it's just a jacket and some hats
You stole a cupcake? Life in prison
that’s what postponement means
Jury duty is being called then waiting to see if they tell you to go home
if i fill the form out they won’t reselect me till x date
So we playing valorant?
People see 39 degree weather and think hell is freezing over
then i’d still have to sometime afte x date though
Im wearing a Canada Goose parka rn
do you get the snowbirds too
if i could banish flordia and new york plates from my city traffic would probably halve
this is at least the second time i've seen you throwing around the brand in here in the last few weeks.. huh
Tf
I say all this like I don’t whine about the heat the moment it’s over 75 lmao
Worth the money
okay but being cold is 100000% better than being hot
i have like 20 of them
because if you're cold you can always add clothing
ok not 20
if you're hot you go to jail
Then you wasted $20,000 lol
For sure
no my parents used to work at an canada goose factory back in the day before covid
I’ll take 20 degrees over 90 all day
$1400 s more than I'll pay for a jacket. a lot more
Sorry, $19,000 the first one was a good purchase
I bought a carhartt for $100 shits peak
we got them for free
sell a few and buy a 5070ti
no
also it would be 1
They gave you $1,000+ jackets for free?
i have paid like 20 bucks for my carhartt shirts
now it's a luxury thing
yeah surplus, prototypes and bstock
i'm just worried about looking like a garbage man
That’s goated
nah blue collar fashion is a real thing guilty
i do need a new winter coat
what even is a carhart
it used to a be a brand for working people
i'm not too worried about it, but I like it when my clothes or shoes has obvious signs of wear and tear so a carhartt I can really break in is good for me
the warmest thing available f you ask the diehards
there was at least 3-4 weekends a year growing up i'd go with my dad to the local vendor and he'd grab a bunch of shirts and stuff from there
