[shell void]

does it have to be 1 slot only or does it just have to be sff

1 slot cards suck

[edgy laurel]

Hell, RX6400 is faster

[zealous orchid]

It’s a small dell so the motherboard is stupid and won’t fit a 2 slot😡

[fervent chasm]

Btw begging Intel for free games works

[golden glade]

Google turbulence

[wise bear]

Dude if I hear anything else about unpredictability in airflow I"m gonna lose it

[golden glade]

It's quite a simple concept really

[brittle trellis]

Well time to replace the whole thing then because you're not going to find a single slot that fulfills your requirements

[golden glade]

You think man can't contol airflow?

[zealous orchid]

Well the heaviest game I play is cs2

[fervent chasm]

Can’t control only redirect 🤓

[slim pebble]

More on the Zen 5 refresh. I’ve still seen nothing on the ARL refresh. 🤨

[golden glade]

Semantics...

[turbid locust]

it’s just that you can’t understand more volume is better than less volume lmao

[young void]

I just woke up and missed 99% of the convo lol

[wise bear]

Also, smooth air is NOT better for cooling

[merry stirrup]

yooo

[wise bear]

the venturi effect combined with your obsession for laminarity would like a word

[golden glade]

It is actually, because you want cold air to go to hot spots, and minimize hot air to hot spots 🧠

[wise bear]

WHAT

[turbid locust]

Didn’t Optimum do like a shrouded internal airflow thing and it wasn’t even better lol

[steel stream]

are we still talking about air

[slim pebble]

Need moar details. Clocks. Cache. Etc

[shell void]

ultra 9 290k+: just clockspeed bumps
ultra 7 270k+: going from 8p12e to 8p16e, and clockspeed bumps
ultra 5 250k+: going from 6p8e to 6p12e, and clockspeed bumps

290K is 5.8GHz peak Pcore, 4.8GHz Ecore, unknown fabric/ngu clocks but probably the Ultra 200S Boost figures (3.2GHz)

[merry stirrup]

aight lets get op 3

[turbid locust]

5.8Ghz? Slow asf. My 5800x does that.

[wise bear]

Does this guy think air has a 1:1 convection ratio

[shell void]

mfw Zen 6 needs two CCDs to match the core count of one Nova Lake Compute Tile

[edgy laurel]

🤣

[shell void]

genuinely rest in peace ryzen

[fervent chasm]

I wish the new core ultra series would’ve put that extra space used for the NPU into the integrated graphics

[wise bear]

like does he think that smooth air has somehow more thermal capacity over "chaotic air"

[fervent chasm]

There’s literally no use at all for the NPU yet

[wise bear]

smooth air doesn't mean it's fucking moving any faster

[steel stream]

someone forgot to upgrade their graphics drivers

[turbid locust]

mfw NVL needs 300W to lose to 90W cope cache

[shell void]

interesting fantasy

[brittle trellis]

And development for such uses will never happen if the hardware isn't in the mainstream

[golden glade]

Anyway does NVidia still have higher DPC latency than AMD?

[edgy laurel]

the dps check is wild in these encounters

[brittle trellis]

Why would the igpu being minorly more powerful even matter on an ultra chip

[turbid locust]

professional ragebait

[fervent chasm]

Not needed in consumer procsssors

[fervent chasm]

Because it’s better than a waste of space

[golden glade]

bro can i breathe even? What did I do now

[steel stream]

yeah it's pretty brutal

[shell void]

nova lake desktop is getting an even smaller igpu because nobody cares

[golden glade]

Breathe air

it’s be funnier if you didn’t

idk if blackwell has higher dpc latency than rdna4 but i havent noticed any audio crackling or latency issues

[golden glade]

I remember reading Blackwell has it higher than Pascal. I guess it's a trade-off of harder vs simpler architecture

[turbid locust]

chat what’s DPC

[golden glade]

Then again with their trillions they could fix any latency

[wise bear]

deferred proc call

[fervent chasm]

My guess was display port type c

[turbid locust]

that doesnt tell me shit

[golden glade]

Nobody cares. But it introduces stuttering, lag as in a feeling of delay, video stuttering, audio dropouts

[shell void]

tldr driver latency, if it's unusually high then you can get audio popping or skipping

[wise bear]

pretty much when a hardware driver takes too long to do something and it can fuck the audio chain

[turbid locust]

Sounds like AM4

[shell void]

the lowest dpc latency that ive ever measured was on my 14900K + 6900XT system

[golden glade]

Yeah audiophiles care about it but it's not just that tbh

[golden glade]

Dang real? L3 cache latency I guess?

[turbid locust]

But yeah can’t say I’ve ever experienced “driver latency” lol

[wise bear]

I encountered DPC issues back on AM3+

not since then though

[edgy laurel]

something someone is always complaining about in the /r/Nvidia thread for every new driver. Nvidia cards are notoriously bad with this compared to alternatives. Those doing audio production work care. Can check with https://www.resplendence.com/latencymon

[turbid locust]

[golden glade]

I think whenever competitive FPS die down we'll just care less about latency mon optimization and all. And I heard Windows is gonna optimize for gaming in 2026? But they will never drop their bloat and telemetry

[turbid locust]

Competitive FPS will never die down

[wise bear]

Oh god here we go with windows bloat

[slim pebble]

It’ll have 12 performance HT core CCDs though, while Intel keeps 8 and a bunch of e-cores. We’ll see how it ends up working out. Intel will probably still have a better IMC.

[wise bear]

"guys windows is so bloated"

take a digital gas-x and fucking shut up

[turbid locust]

LTSC IOT intensifies

[golden glade]

A lot of Valorant players and such are obsessed with lowering microseconds of lag. And btw:

Milliseconds (ms) = 1/1000 of a second

Microseconds (µs) = 1/1,000,000 of a second

[turbid locust]

this mf just explained metric prefixes

[edgy laurel]

i wish you all could see what Stalker 2 looks like in person right now. What i'm looking at. Ultra+ mod, epic settings, RenoDX. Makes me weep.

[wise bear]

You cannot perceive microseconds in human reaction fuck off w/ that

[golden glade]

How is this guy not obsessed with me

[golden glade]

I literally never said that you could

[turbid locust]

I play valorant with an fps cap + vsync + nvidia reflex

[wise bear]

You LITERALLY just implied that it's something that valorant players want to "shave off"

God if you're gonna have a fucking argument don't move the goalposts

[turbid locust]

[golden glade]

Ok, that's because they do. They do them, I do me.

[shell void]

i might have to take a break from val until the next battlepass because ive been baby raging recently

[golden glade]

What's happening is that this guy is still mad about air, so he misreads everything I say by entering the proverbial room with an attitude towards me already. We literally agree lmao.

i wanna put them all at 5000K

[wise bear]

I might get a display calibrator tbh

@merry stirrup if I do wanna rent it

[golden glade]

and a single one is better cuz inter-CCD latency right?

I'm hyped for nova lake but I don't know about the Mossad thing you were talking about

[merry stirrup]

i’m don’t care about computer display enough

i fiddle with it until i feel it’s right call it good

Oh dear god I think I know which bit you're laughing at

[fervent chasm]

@merry stirrup do you know this game?

[merry stirrup]

looks like moon runes to me bro

[fervent chasm]

thought you would since you play older games

[merry stirrup]

i play tarkov and games i played on my xbox 360

[wise bear]

The guy's 19 not 39

Out of principle it's a weird feature to find in billions of computers around the world, though again I should read up on AMD's PSP too

[fervent chasm]

2010 release

[shell void]

i wasnt being serious with the Mossad comment

[fervent chasm]

i love map games

[golden glade]

We literally agree you're mad about nothing

[fervent chasm]

so am I, but my childhood game was stronghold cursader

[fervent chasm]

No wood left in the stockpile my lord

[golden glade]

Dude I know but you really think the feature is only for firmware updates?

[fervent chasm]

Stronghold Crusader, I grew up playing it everyday, best game ever made

[shell void]

it probably is used for something nefarious but i dont know

[golden glade]

It's a privacy concern first and foremost. More for political figures than your aversge gamer, but yeah

[wise bear]

lets fucking go

[signal timber]

I say released around the 2000s

[fervent chasm]

2010

[wise bear]

I like heavy, grippy mice

[merry stirrup]

i have pretty strong muscle memory at this point so i just kinda throw the mouse

[hoary hatch]

I did until I started playing valorant

[merry stirrup]

g305 is a brick

[hoary hatch]

And now that I stopped valorant, I'm pretty indifferent

But my pulsar is clear so that's a W

[wise bear]

same but I like using the inertia of the mouse to carry the movement while using my thumb or pinky as a brake

[hoary hatch]

I have a lot of Corsair mice

[merry stirrup]

nope

[wise bear]

so for me it's only an initial flick impulse

[merry stirrup]

yeaj

i am not updating to ios26 leave me alone timmy cook

[golden glade]

Do you have the MMO one with lots of side buttons? Scimitar or something

[hoary hatch]

That was my second mouse replaced. A Logitech whatever that classic one is

[merry stirrup]

good mouse i heavily reco tbh

[hoary hatch]

The tunable heavy one

[wise bear]

I wish logitech would make another g603

like having a bunch of thumb buttons for DCS would be awesomeeee

[hoary hatch]

I had the Proteus core

Then had a scimitar

[golden glade]

My logitech broke I'm gonna try the AliExpress route cuz why not

[merry stirrup]

i do still think the scyrox is better but mine was being annyoing enough bestbuy had to save me ™ @prisma schooner

whelp thats not hte right one

[hoary hatch]

I never used the MMO buttons but I liked the shape

[golden glade]

there's redragon mmo mice aswell as a few more chinese brands

[merry stirrup]

scyrox v8, vxe, attack shark, etc all decent options

[hoary hatch]

G502 that was the mouse

G502 -> scimitar -> G900

And after that too many mice to count

[golden glade]

Oh I thought you replaced it with a g600, mmo one. Discontinued

Nah I meant a mmo one. Madcatz recently launched one I think. But madcatz mice look crazy

[merry stirrup]

thats how they get you

[golden glade]

Solakaka sm809. Only honeycomb mmo mouse to date

[wise bear]

See essentially this but the tip of my pinky and the side of my thumb drop to the cloth during movement to act as brakes

[golden glade]

Looks good to me

[merry stirrup]

yeah i cant do this

i sensor lift to stop all my movements

[wise bear]

Oh I def don't do that

[merry stirrup]

sensor tilt ig btter phrasing

allows me not to actually stop

[wise bear]

I only lift if I'm at a window border and I don't want to be

Honestly I've been fucking w/ the mouse in front of the keyboard positioning and it works real well

[golden glade]

Madcatz mmo 7+. Like what

[wise bear]

Very easy, smooth transition to both hands on typing row

Wait are kids still taught typing skills in school

[merry stirrup]

interestingly enough i was all the way back in kindergarten

[wise bear]

SAME

[merry stirrup]

then first grade through 3rd we had more

then 6th grade we had it again

(all the same school btw)

[wise bear]

All through elementary I had it, and then in middle school

[merry stirrup]

literally not a soul in my class under 90wpm

[wise bear]

It's sad, I type better & faster than I write nowadays

[merry stirrup]

well me too

[wise bear]

I used to have really nice cursive and then the skill just.. vanished

[merry stirrup]

i always have this is what you get for giving me ac omputer

[pure garnet]

i forgot to buy the nvme too

[wise bear]

Like in 3rd grade I was writing in pure cursive for everything

My ass learned that shit young

[merry stirrup]

yeah i was probably taking apart an xbox or something idk

minecraft mods on youtube

[wise bear]

I did more of that in high school

[merry stirrup]

there hasnt been a period where i didnt do that

[wise bear]

I'd take in xenon 360s to the auto shop during my off period to solder on the LPT connector for jtags

[merry stirrup]

i have to mod this mouse

[wise bear]

I diiid have a valhalla 360 that I yeeted the case on and just rocked the metal chassis/bucket in an old laptop briefcase that unfolded and had places for all the cables & the power brick

[merry stirrup]

thats what i miss about my superlight i finally figured it out

[wise bear]

Brought it into school a bunch to play modern warfare on

[merry stirrup]

i had a couple strips of tape on the plastic bit that actually presses the switch ont he superlight to get rid of the pretravel

thats why i miss it

i must do it again

[wise bear]

I wish I was 16 again tbh

I'd redo my whole life

Start transitioning at 18 like I actually wanted, I'd've finished HS on time..

Like, the moment I can go back in time to a younger me with all the knowledge I have now? I'd do it in a heartbeat. I'd give every dollar I have to do that

[merry stirrup]

man if only i was buying bitcoin instead of not existing

if only I bought a house in 08 when I was 4

I remember the bitcoin buying a pizza phase

[merry stirrup]

how did warship decide later to kill me

[wise bear]

oh shit floppa got warshitted

[merry stirrup]

im gonna look back on my purchasing decision and see the mpower go for like 900$ later and kyokos gonna be rich

[wise bear]

is it the salad

(its not real salad)

[wise bear]

Dude if they make a new case out of old shit I will take a dump on the caseworker's desk

[young void]

They literally did got a whole new worker they havent been back since I gave my lawyers number but im terrified their gonna try and takem again

[wise bear]

I don't think they could after such a short time period

[young void]

Like literally sweating, the first time I didnt worry cause theres no reason

But now knowing they can lie in court with such a straight face

[wise bear]

like what's the logic in reopening a just-closed case other than harrassment

you were proven innocent

[young void]

I will be looking into how to send it all to the DOJ, and thats what im saying. Literally they finished my case on last Tuesday the 9th so I never had time to get the records and takes 2 weeks before its public access (the 23rd)

[wise bear]

If you'd like I can reach out to some of my lawyers to see if they know anyone that's real versed on this stuff

[young void]

Then they arrived Friday the 12th the only person who knew all the details was the prior caseworker that got proven to be a liar and trying to persuade my ex if she didnt take my daughter my kids would go to foster care

Then she took stand and said she didnt say that

[wise bear]

Okay, so

[young void]

My lawyer should be available tomorrow ill be calling him first thing

[wise bear]

Oregon's a 2-party consent state when it comes to conversation recordings

If they don't explicitley say no you can record their conversations

Use that info to your advantage

Also you can one-party for phonecalls if "deemed within public interest" which could be argued public interest spans to this case worker's ability to abuse the system & remove children from proper households

[young void]

The new worker seemed to not know I just spent 2 months dealing with them but theyre gonna

[floral spear]

It's Starbucks Sunday!

https://tenor.com/view/pim-smiling-friends-gif-27386539

[wise bear]

ALSO request that the old caseworker be barred from anything to do with the new case

[young void]

I assume she didnt like being caught in lies swear its gotta be her bet its an anonymous report

[wise bear]

If she's legit the reason why a new case popped up then having her legally barricaded from interfering will make the case crumble like a stale cookie

[topaz veldt]

@merry stirrup I ordered a couple H++ 12vhpwrs for the master 😐

[young void]

Lady should not be one working with kids and parents livelyhood

[wise bear]

People who can't have kids like to do this

like its a documented thing

[young void]

Literally dont even want to be in the us ngl if I ever save up enough

[wise bear]

Sorry, but what are these?

[topaz veldt]

I know you're upset but almost every other country is worse

I just feel violated, my daughters having a hard time getting back into routine she's the highest spectrum of autistic. And they ripped my heart out with no consideration to anyone's well being

[wise bear]

lmao so they just ripped a heavily autistic child away from their parents & established routines?

That alone should be grounds for psychological manipulation lmao

[topaz veldt]

nah they don't fit

[wise bear]

Sadge. Oh well

[young void]

Its something all I can do is keep trying

[wise bear]

Dude I'll take the stand for you if I have to

[slim pebble]

Has anyone done this? I suspect something silly will happen, like the card will use one but not the other.

[shell void]

yeh a couple of people have done it, the master PCB will use both equally if you solder a second one on

it works with the alphacool waterblock

[wise bear]

Like honestly I think a bunch of folks in tc2 would back you

[young void]

I used to believe if you where a good person good things would come your way, but ive only learned it gets you walked on

[wise bear]

Where politics & power reside, abuse & control rise.

[young void]

And absolute power corrupts absolutely. No consequences to their actions

[steel stream]

I need to see 600w through both

[shell void]

so true

[wise bear]

*800w

[shell void]

need a waterblocked 5090 with two power connectors, evc, and shunt modded

[wise bear]

yaaas

YAAAAAAS

[shell void]

3.5GHz is essential

[wise bear]

I want a 5ghz gpu, I want my gpu to mirror my cpu freq

[topaz veldt]

Yes they have, nothing silly happens they are both connected on the PCB

[slim pebble]

That’s tempting then since no more than 300w should get pulled from either connector.

[shell void]

pshhh who is waterblocking and soldering a second connector on just to run stock power limits?

[wise bear]

if I wb my 5070ti I'm having its vram doubled

idk if that's even a thing but thats what I'ma do

[shell void]

it would have to be transferred to a new custom pcb, it's not a simple procedure

[wise bear]

(I don't want to wb this card it barely crawls over 60C under full load on air)

[young void]

[topaz veldt]

@slim pebble https://youtu.be/qiWeGIoYo-4?si=htcmfkA4xY8aNNK-&t=1423

[wise bear]

I figured, the thought mainly came from the 2080ti vram doubling mod

[slim pebble]

You do this just when I’m running a master again 😆

[steel stream]

please post your solder joints here and will we rate them

[topaz veldt]

I am a pro - soldering is mad easy

[wise bear]

if you can paint you can solder tbh

[steel stream]

yeah soldering smth like that is a breeze

[topaz veldt]

hardest part is flowing all of the pin holes at once, since its pre-soldered

[proud void]

this and also unfortunately there are no custom PCB with 2x 12V2x6

yet

[steel stream]

yeah that's not great

[topaz veldt]

yes there are

[wise bear]

there are no 3rd party (outside of AIB vendors) boards anyways, so

[proud void]

wait

yo

👀

[shell void]

it would be easier to swap the 2GB vram chips for 3GB to make a fake 5070ti super

[proud void]

where

[wise bear]

👀

[shell void]

with a chinese vbios

[wise bear]

ayo thats a thing?

Lemme tank back 600w on a 5070ti

[topaz veldt]

are you talking 5070 ti or what

[proud void]

yeah

[topaz veldt]

oh nm

[proud void]

plus maybe 4090

[shell void]

there are probably some chinese dudes working on custom PCBs to make 5090 64GB and 96GB cards

[wise bear]

I'd make a mess in some jorts over a card like that

[topaz veldt]

I need to waterblock this second 5090 master but im just not motivated

[wise bear]

2 of those with a distributed openCL fractal render, I could be hitting 100k resolutions

[slim pebble]

I’m trying to motivate myself to block the first one

[wise bear]

actually hol up lemme try something-

[topaz veldt]

this will be the third 5090 I blocked

[young void]

[proud void]

then ig it's just custom 4090 2x 12V2x6 that exists?

because it's still interesting

[topaz veldt]

@slim pebble buy my EK 5090 TUF block

[wise bear]

OH DEAR

[slim pebble]

It’s in my kids PC now 😆

[topaz veldt]

That's a problem?

[wise bear]

[proud void]

since every custom 4090 48G custom PCB mod are mostly single 12V2x6

[slim pebble]

It currently has an AIO, not WC

[topaz veldt]

There was the Galax HoF 4090 no?

[shell void]

looks like you need to buy one of my 2x32 kits to bump up to 128GB

[wise bear]

I might be able to do 30k!!

30k renders is bonkers

Aaand crash

[shell void]

skull

[wise bear]

lets see if upping the job size fixes this

[topaz veldt]

someone clean this fuckin 5090 off pls

[shell void]

pressure wash it

[livid flame]

61.7gb

[wise bear]

Give me whiskey, a toothbrush, and some rubbing alcohol

[shell void]

yeah im bored im gonna do some ram swapping

[topaz veldt]

no whiskey on the pcb pls

[wise bear]

Nooo the whiskey is for me

[topaz veldt]

🙂

[wise bear]

so I stay focused on finishing the thing

[livid flame]

If only it said NIC3. That’s cuter

[slim pebble]

It looks so good in the stock cooler though.

[wise bear]

Do you think I could maintain 4x32gb 6000 1:1 on a 9700x?

[topaz veldt]

it looks better blocked with a Snail Block trust me

[fervent chasm]

some of these are not bad if you can pick up the ram and ssd for cheap but thats not happening anymore

hows the SODIMM market doing?

[topaz veldt]

SNAIL BLOCK

[wise bear]

5 n a i l
n
a
i
l

[fervent chasm]

I saw people using SODIMM to UDIMM adapters or something because they were cheaper

[wise bear]

Aw the spacing didn't work

[wise bear]

They're so fucky but so cute

[topaz veldt]

my kides are watching a movie with atmos

and i keep looking over my shoulder

[wise bear]

lmao

Wait can they actually tell the diff with/without atmos?

[steel stream]

HW-Q990D?

[topaz veldt]

yeah the atmos is really wild honestly

[steel stream]

yeah it's pretty good

and I don't have an ideal setup for it

[wise bear]

I've never really experienced a proper atmos setup so I've no real definition on it

[steel stream]

the kids? Probs not

[steel stream]

the soundbars are good, but a true Atmos setup is wild

[topaz veldt]

im looking at the 83" G5 for my other family room

[wise bear]

Other family room

[topaz veldt]

we call it the "den"

[steel stream]

https://tenor.com/view/doja-cat-star-wars-gif-25078126

[topaz veldt]

we have living room, family room, and den

[wise bear]

Just how many rooms does your fucking house have dude

[steel stream]

My dad loves his G5

[topaz veldt]

we have rooms yeah

[wise bear]

[young void]

Lol, a few fs

[topaz veldt]

its a long story but this house has 2 kitchens

[wise bear]

Is there an in-law suite

[steel stream]

that's the shed

[wise bear]

LMAO

[topaz veldt]

yeah theres a full addition with a bedroom, another family room, another dining room, full bath, and full kitchen

[wise bear]

What the fuck

[topaz veldt]

and a 2nd 200A service

(and a second ISP)

its why I have xfinity and fios

[wise bear]

Send me some floorplans or some shit I wanna build this shit in the sims

[topaz veldt]

lol

[wise bear]

I don't know if the biggest lot (64x64) would be big enough for your fucking house

100% aint doing your yard

Wait I wonder if I can finangle my way into another revit license standby

[frank zealot]

You can easily get a 4000sqft 2 floor house on 50x50

[wise bear]

ok but his house is probably wide af

and I always want sideyard room

otherwise buildy no bueno

[frank zealot]

4000sqft is also a fuckton of house

[young void]

Thats alot of vacuuming and sweepin

[wise bear]

yeah no thanks

[young void]

But he does have housekeeping so probs not so bad

[wise bear]

If I have a house like that I'm a stay-at-home housewife

I'm also buying like 5 robot vacuums and dusting every room with a fucking leafblower

[frank zealot]

Don't put art on the walls

[wise bear]

If you do secure every orner

Peyton a'comin'

[frank zealot]

Yer orner-y

[devout ridge]

dual wielding leafblowers

[shell void]

time to find out

[wise bear]

Yeah I didn't get great sleep last night so I'm a little spicy

[devout ridge]

blow your britches right off

[young void]

You got this, latest bios should support it

[fervent chasm]

not with amd

[frank zealot]

Ima sneak a roll of TP onto one of her leaf blowers

[wise bear]

If you can sustain it I might buy a 64g kit from you

[fervent chasm]

are those 2 different kits?

[shell void]

well me being able to doesn’t confirm that you will

[wise bear]

or 128g I don't really care

[fervent chasm]

in 1-2 3-4 instead of 1-3 2-4

[wise bear]

ok but we can at least try

[shell void]

yes

one kit per channel is the correct way to run 4 dimms

[wise bear]

He's right I learned this yesterday

[young void]

Friggin michaels I won't judge if it works, my laptop has 2 random sticks (2012 laptop shouldn't even be alive) just defaults to the lower sticks spec

[fervent chasm]

Im waiting on the 128gb kit to come to see if its any good

if its good I buy another one and sell my 96gb kits

[wise bear]

I want 128g for this build and an extra opencl device with at least 10gb vram so i can do rarted resolution fractals

[fervent chasm]

$2.9k for 256GB is crazy

[topaz veldt]

its long and the addition comes off the rear so its like an L - not enough here to dox

[wise bear]

I mean I could swing it rn, but I won't

[wise bear]

Christ almighty

[shell void]

it’s not having a fun time trying to train this

[wise bear]

ngl I love the front facade, props to that

[young void]

I believeeee

You enable 1.45 boost in bios? Myte need alittle extra juice to balance

[topaz veldt]

I can't wait for the new patio to go in

[wise bear]

I can't wait to potentially see it tbh

[topaz veldt]

they said they'll break ground in Feb but we have 6-8" of snow right now

I think I shared the plans

[wise bear]

You did, but I wanna see the final result

[topaz veldt]

oh yeah me too

the township had an issue with setback to some shit so we had to redo the firepit

[wise bear]

The fuck, why

it's a firepit on a private lot what's the fuckin' issue

[topaz veldt]

there's a 25' ordinance from an open fire to permenant structure

[young void]

City things

[shell void]

it has awoken

[topaz veldt]

and since the house and addition forms an L we need to be 25' from both sides

[young void]

Ggs

[shell void]

funny how this is now $1500 worth of ram when it used to be $300

[wise bear]

You can't see it but my eye is twitching from the big fucking eyeroll I just tried to do

[shell void]

time to try loading up 6K

[wise bear]

Like with a gas firepit you're good at a minimum of fucking ten feet for any level of safety standard.

[topaz veldt]

it depends on the township/ordinance

[wise bear]

And that alone is gay as fuck.

[topaz veldt]

if we went gas it was like 15', but I don't want a gas firepit

[wise bear]

Oh it's wood??

HELL YES I thought it was gas

[topaz veldt]

You can see how its 25' triangulated to the three structures

[wise bear]

yes yes I understand red lines

[topaz veldt]

its just annoying because like... those dimensions place the firepit

like there is literallly no where else it could go

without doing something weird and moving it like way out away from the house

[wise bear]

I'd like to see it more deeply placed into the raised deck structure tbh

[topaz veldt]

well its all patio

[wise bear]

Yee, I know

[topaz veldt]

so that "upper patio" is 1-2 steps

so you step down to like a 14' circle, and that area at the south west is a seating wall

so it has enough space for adorondak chairs around the pit and seating wall

[wise bear]

Like yeah I could see a cool little forest firepit being a neat addition but for something that's meant to be near the house 25' is kinda.. stupid

[topaz veldt]

yah

I thought about playing games but its easier to just adjust the plan

[wise bear]

like, embers aren't gonna jump fucking 25' and still be combustible to concrete/vinyl siding

[topaz veldt]

I was going to have them draw it w/o the firepit

[wise bear]

Oh that's what I would've done

[shell void]

muehehehe

[wraith steeple]

I'm surprised that this even works

[topaz veldt]

firepit will be this style, but with different cap around the top and different stone face

[young void]

Wii is op

[topaz veldt]

and that one is gas, so none of that shit

[wise bear]

bbq griddle over top, too?

[topaz veldt]

it'll have an option for stuff

[wise bear]

hellll yess

[wraith steeple]

Wii sports on a PS5 controller is doable, but do I recommend it?

[steel stream]

the motion controls with PS5 is honestly not bad

[wraith steeple]

Thank God for Dolphin emulator

[wise bear]

Morning breakfast over a wood firepit sounds legendary

[steel stream]

bowling is pretty fun with it

[topaz veldt]

its like a crazy cast iron bowl, and then there's a fenced dome that can go over and you can do other shit that spans it

the shit is pretty wild though since its in almost the middle of the patio, there will be drains from inside it

so it will have conduit set in the concrete to drain the pit

[wise bear]

Dude I'm legit excited for you over this whole project

[topaz veldt]

the firepit feature ended up being like $7500

[wise bear]

It's cool af

[topaz veldt]

yeah i wanted a permenant like... well thought out setup

[wise bear]

Well yeah, you're basically making your home the forever home for y'all

[topaz veldt]

the only thing I am skipping (for now) is the outdoor kitchen, but the one side of the patio will have a footer under it to support it if we want later

[topaz veldt]

yah we'll see - we might still move full time to FL

[shell void]

muehehehe @wise bear

[topaz veldt]

but we love the snow, so its tough

[wise bear]

jesusfuckingchrist

[topaz veldt]

but like... with my mom now... they have a place in Key Biscayne, we have our FL place... might just say yolo and move in a couple years I dunno everything is up in the air

[wise bear]

Personally I'd stay in your area just for the winters w/ the florida summerhome option

[topaz veldt]

yeah thats kind of what I want but if my dad moves full time to FL I dunno

[wise bear]

I mean that's always a viable option, too

[fervent chasm]

now 3500MHz

[topaz veldt]

I wouldn't want to live in our FL place year round

[topaz veldt]

its not nearly big enough for all of four wants/haves

[fervent chasm]

why is 4x32 easier on the IMC than 4x48?

[wise bear]

Even then the FL house would keep you close to mom

[shell void]

i dont think it is

[topaz veldt]

not sure i follow

[shell void]

i just have op memory controllers

[topaz veldt]

remember i was trying to stabilize 8000 on that mitx?

[wise bear]

I thought you were saying you'd want to stay by mom because of her situation

[topaz veldt]

Oh, we don't have nearly that long my friend

[wise bear]

😔

[topaz veldt]

I am saying once things enter the next chapter I don't know what my dad will do full time

[wise bear]

Ah okay, I'm following now

[shell void]

did u give up?

crazy seeing 128GB in Karhu

[topaz veldt]

Yeah - because apparently this 8000 CL40 kit just doesn't do well with AMD for some reason

[topaz veldt]

you should see 576GB 🙂

[shell void]

unfortunately there arent any good big cpus 🥀

[topaz veldt]

wompity womp

[wraith steeple]

I'm wheezing, holy shit

[topaz veldt]

spekaing of all this

wow typing

[steel stream]

it's pretty damn good man lol

[wraith steeple]

Using a PS5 controller

[topaz veldt]

does anyone know any utilities to export text messages in like rich text format or something from Android

[wise bear]

If you bind your messages to the browser app you'd probably have an easier time doing it

https://messages.google.com

[topaz veldt]

Yeah I use that but you can't like.... select all

it only loads portions at a time

Gonna try SMS Backup Print & Restore

[wise bear]

touch grass tbh

[topaz veldt]

weird

[wraith steeple]

Yeah I was shocked at how well this did

[young void]

I hope you guys ||have a good day ||

[wise bear]

awww you too worm 💕

[wraith steeple]

I laughed myself into orbit when I hit a three run shot on to the upperdeck with the PS5 controller

[wise bear]

Another option you could try is just saving a full image of the phone storage w/ adb and ripping the message logs that way

[sinful jetty]

i joined for the stickers

[wise bear]

UH HUH

[topaz veldt]

yeah thats too complicated for my simple mind

I just bought some SMS Backup app that does PDF/HTML/etc.

[wise bear]

omg I finally outsmart you in something :D

[shell void]

i dread the day that i swap this 9800x3d out because i put a whole gram of duronaut on the ihs

it's gonna be all over

@topaz veldt can u clean this up for me when u clean up your next aorus master 5090

[wise bear]

oh dear

Fuck that lemme clean it

[wise bear]

[topaz veldt]

imma bout to do it - firing up garage heater

[wise bear]

Seriously though if you'e interested in selling 128g I might go for it

[shell void]

i only have three ddr5 kits and right now im using three

[wise bear]

[shell void]

☠️

[lethal topaz]

been thinking about buying ram before my employee discount doesnt go as far

[shell void]

you got $1500 peyton?

[wise bear]

I literally have a 64g kit of that

iirc it was your suggestion that I got it, too

[shell void]

it's been a good kit for me

[wise bear]

checks bank acct

Yeah I could buy probably 100 of 'em

[shell void]

[wise bear]

At this rate though I'd rather buy from friends that could actually use the money tbh

rather than just some seller on the internet

[lethal topaz]

let alone ebays 30% cut

[young void]

Hate ebay fees

[topaz veldt]

I want to scalp the fuck out of this memory market

[shell void]

do it bro you need money for the RTX Pro 6000 Rubin

[lethal topaz]

i pay like 280 for a 64gb ddr5 kit

[steel stream]

I'll sell you 2x24GB for 800

very good deal, best price just for you my friend

[steel stream]

normally i am opposed to scalping, but if you give me like 2% of the profits I won't mind it

[topaz veldt]

I am going to seize the opportunity to prey on others misfortune - I hope you all support me

[steel stream]

2% is it all takes for my support

fine 1.5%

[topaz veldt]

its basically what businesses do so I am just going to do it on FBM

[young void]

https://tenor.com/view/theyre-the-same-picture-the-office-pam-the-office-us-gif-20757621

[young void]

All the alie express items on Amazon for 2-5x lol

[topaz veldt]

The nice part about scalpers and bussiness is that they are the same

[wraith steeple]

[topaz veldt]

my scalper ID matches my federal tax id

[wraith steeple]

PS5 controller really is the goat

[topaz veldt]

all of my scalper proceeds help pay into the social security and medicare funds

[young void]

Friggin goober

[topaz veldt]

and, the nice part, is that scalping supports unemployment benefits and everything - its the same thing as a corporation

[young void]

I do need to snag 1 or two at some point

[indigo walrus]

I've been using this since around 2012. I'm less concerned about the formatting than I am the content of my text messages. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.riteshsahu.SMSBackupRestore&hl=en

[wise bear]

Hiii kirashi

[steel stream]

so scalping is good for society?

wrong reply

[topaz veldt]

I just bought that

[young void]

All good, i just need backup controllers lol

[wraith steeple]

I Mercy Ruled the CPU on a PS5 controller my chest hurts

Hell yeah, I'd love that!

[young void]

[wise bear]

In that case I'll make mac salad

[shell void]

so it may actually work

[young void]

Im just happy somone will get to enjoy the system

[wise bear]

I miss having a wii tbh

[shell void]

if it passes 12+ hours of ycruncher vt3 tonight then i guess ill just leave it installed

[wise bear]

[wraith steeple]

Not bad, not bad

[wise bear]

yessssss

omg ok $80

[topaz veldt]

this is amazing

[young void]

If she works thats a pretty good deal

[wise bear]

The only snowblower I'm gonna get is a fucking propane torch if I have a gd ice storm again

[topaz veldt]

I don't want to fuck up the shed floor

[whole coral]

We don’t have a snowblower lol

[young void]

Those 500-1000$ flame thrower frig who made those

[whole coral]

We have a nice snow shovel though

[young void]

Was a few years back

[wise bear]

Oh I know what you're talking about lol

[young void]

Tip of my tongue just not clickin

[wise bear]

samesies

[whole coral]

My work boss sent me this stuff

[wise bear]

it looked like a little halo 2 flamethrower

[whole coral]

His snow stuff

[young void]

Think it was boring, or musk i forget some misc big company

[wise bear]

BORING COMPANY

THATS IT

[young void]

Ill have to snag the next batch

Lmao

[wise bear]

Those are kinda boring though, I wanna be pumping high volumes of gaseous, combustible material at such velocities it melts an inch of ice in 10sec

[steel stream]

that's quite the shovel

[young void]

https://shop.opticsplanet.com/throwflame-thermonator-flamethrower.html?

They got bots with flamethrower xD

[slim pebble]

Roflmao so did I, but I have the contact frame so there’s no mess.

[young void]

Snails new security system gonna be lit, futureeee

[wise bear]

I distinctly remember a yt video with a flamethrower attached to an RC fire engine

[shell void]

dear God bro the kit that he uses in this video went up to $2750

[young void]

Thats nutty

And its cl 36s (not that it makes a big difference just B die sammys vs their cl 30 A's hynix)

[wraith steeple]

Should I try golf on this?

[shell void]

you must

[wraith steeple]

Oh boy I'm both intrigued and terrified on how it'll perform

[slim pebble]

Holy crap! 5090 money for a RAM kit.

[indigo walrus]

I keep forgetting about backward compatibility. I know I could re-live certain Zelda titles we own physical copies of (Windwaker, TwiliPrincess) via emulation, but it's not the same as playing on original hardware for me.

[young void]

Part of the wiis best features and naturally cheaper then a gc

[wise bear]

I'm more interested in playing the metroid franchise

Metroid is something I never got to experience as a kid

[young void]

Some special models also support dvds un officially but also really cool

They just dont make them scary anymore

yall going to see iron lung in theaters?

[rocky shoal]

Lmfao I have seen that

[wise bear]

I haven't yet and I really should

I just know i't some uber obscure shit

[rocky shoal]

Its... interesting

[green marsh]

meanwhile 192GB RAM here

[young void]

Probs once it hits peacock or HBO or wherever. We havent been able to get out much with the 2 babys. Eventually would be nice

[green marsh]

and i have no idea what are these 128GB kit prices

probably major scalping with RAM in stock

[young void]

At this point For 1000$ more just buy my builds with a 5090, mobo, psu, etc xD call it a bundle. Prices are nutz

[civic reef]

@wise bear !!!!!

Oh wait wrong channel

[green marsh]

i mean the other major store doesn't even have anything above 96GB kits, so i guess they can comand any price

[young void]

Starts vibin, locks getting it

[civic reef]

This took 5 minutes to upload </3

Oh I have like, no interest in fnaf lol

[civic reef]

Oh </3

[wise bear]

I'm sorry lol

[proven saddle]

Vhs fnaf is kinda comfy

[green marsh]

#0 is first slot, getting clean air. then they start climbing, until the #3 gets air from the CPU cooler

[young void]

o_O its doing its best

[wise bear]

Although there was this silent protagonist movie with nicholas cage that shared the same premise of fnaf that was really good

[proven saddle]

Lol 10 days till Christmas

[shell void]

yeah the leftmost dimm gets tickled by the waterblock fan on my LF3 block

[civic reef]

It's mostly the lowered video quality (640p) for the video to actually send

[wise bear]

I'm forever using "getting tickled" by airflow in my further communications

[civic reef]

But it was GREAT

[fervent chasm]

I saw the same on mine

They varied by a few C

[proven saddle]

Or subzero

[civic reef]

I LOVE physical media shown by projections

Finally used some cheap stock case fans.

I now understand when people complain about fan noise

[wraith steeple]

That's hot

[brave panther]

big5nail

[hoary hatch]

holy fuck the fans keep ramping up

I am so close to putting a commander pro in this system and forcing icue upon these fans

they keep ramping up above a thousand rpm even though fan control has it theoretically static

[pure garnet]

if i didn't have my noctuas i'd have to run a static 25% on p12 pros and just cope with throttling

fans get so annoying

[green marsh]

i hope you got one, cause commander pro isn't sold anymore and commander xt is EOL too

[hoary hatch]

Didn't think I implied spending money

I have one sitting on my shelf lol

[hoary hatch]

I'm debating swapping these for p14 pros

My kit was $400 something two months ago.

[hoary hatch]

As a last resort I am trying armoury crate

[slim pebble]

I wouldn’t. AC is bad

[hoary hatch]

Well fan control and the motherboard have both failed me

So this is a last attempt before icue

And finding my commander pro

I know where it is but the USB cable is a different matter

i had to buy Commander XT because china X99 board fan control is horrible

[hoary hatch]

Commander XT doesn't have the aio port, right?

Why doesn't armoury crate let me control fan headers

Ugh

Looks like I'm doing a hardware change later

[green marsh]

no idea, i had it for the fan headers only

[green marsh]

looks like it only lost 2 temp sensors, USB hub and LED is different?

[civic reef]

OKAY, fully committed to this laptop purchase

LOQ 15IAX9E w/ a 12450HX and 3050 6GB

[indigo walrus]

Nice! A 15" laptop that actually comes with a full size SD card slot, as all of them should.

[civic reef]

Only gripe tbh is the single SODIMM

.. Which is occupied with an 8GB stick.

[proven saddle]

Gaijin?

[civic reef]

Also..
Do some laptops come with only a micro-sd slot? </3

[signal timber]

Whats that hub for

[green marsh]

Fan control, rgb control, sensing temperatures. And USB hub on it is just because it uses an USB header from the board

[signal timber]

That sounds a bit unecesary because most modern mainboards already have headers for rgb SUPPORT

[indigo walrus]

Sadly, yes. Even many allegedly "professional" laptops don't have an SD card slot anymore.

[signal timber]

If not just use a SD to TF card or USB to TF card adapter

[green marsh]

The important word is modern. I use it for older boards

[civic reef]

That's modern consumer Laptops for you

[signal timber]

Makes sense

[indigo walrus]

Nah, even lots of allegedly "professional" business laptops are like this too.

[signal timber]

1€ Usb or SD adapter does the trick has helped me out many times

[indigo walrus]

While true, I shouldn't have to carry around an adapter when there's physically room for a built-in SD card slot.

[hoary hatch]

I am struggling to determine if the "ID" port is the same as the AIO port on commander core non XT. Unfortunately I can't find any product photos showing me that side

If I had to guess it is the aio port

Which would be nice to have more RGB control

[civic reef]

I don't think I've seen a laptop without an SD card slot except for an HP I saw once

[signal timber]

Physically GPUs support more VRAM then they get shipped with and yet we only get 8/16/24GB, but tbh i see SD cards in use rarely because they tend to get lost easly

[civic reef]

Ew
Like?

[civic reef]

They're also pretty volatile

[signal timber]

I store all my VS2026 programms on one

[civic reef]

They're prone to corruption more than most other storage types, even a USB is safer

[green marsh]

“ID (E)” access port is for compatible CORSAIR devices.

[gentle gale]

yeah even though they have the space for a full size one

[signal timber]

I had a USB stick for that once but for some reason i tried to build a cooler for it now it doesnt work reliable anymore

[green marsh]

Se here https://www.corsair.com/us/en/explorer/diy-builder/cases/how-to-set-up-the-5000t-rgb-in-icue/

[civic reef]

Simply, cheaper

[shell void]

im imagining a banana breakdancing in my head rn

[civic reef]

That's.. Odd...

[signal timber]

Why

[civic reef]

Anyway @indigo walrus
This laptop is a bit of a gamble, since the 9th gen LOQ 15s (IAX9E) had problems with their boards frying back in 2024.
It's apparently fixed now, according to some forum discussions and some questioning in the Salemtechsperts discord

[surreal coral]

Hey guys, i have a question...

[civic reef]

I kinda don't care about the GPU or power lol, main attraction is the 100% sRGB screen

[surreal coral]

What is the absolute best monitor to buy rn 1440, oled and 24/27 inch

money dont matter

[signal timber]

Pretty sure theres a tier list for that

[steel stream]

check rtings

[surreal coral]

where

[signal timber]

Google ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[surreal coral]

which one would you guys choose?

[steel stream]

i'd personally wait for the tandem oled montiors

[pure garnet]

what is that font brother

are you on an 800x600 display

[steel stream]

https://rog.asus.com/us/monitors/27-to-31-5-inches/rog-strix-oled-xg27aqwmg/ this one is ok, https://rog.asus.com/us/monitors/27-to-31-5-inches/rog-swift-oled-pg27aqwp-w/ this one is what I would wait for

[pure garnet]

1440p oled :\

[indigo walrus]

The ASUS PG27AQDP is likely the best of the 4 listed, but is also the most expensive looking one, too.

[hoary hatch]

Ah, okay, ID is not the aio connector

That makes sense

[surreal coral]

whats wrong with that lol

Id rather get higher fps with 1440 p than take 4k tbh

[surreal coral]

ty

[hoary hatch]

Commander core has one RGB channel (the 6 iCUE fan ports are one control channel for simplicity of description), plus one temp sensor input.
It has a second temperature sensor and RGB channel for the air pump head.

Commander core XT turns those AIO channels into usable extra device channels

Mint cable management

[fervent chasm]

Look what I found

[proven saddle]

cpu

[shell void]

January release supposedly (according to the Asus USA social media manager)

probably late January because they didnt specify when in January

if you're gonna invest go all the way

[arctic bronze]

We all love low ppi

[vestal granite]

i think its a normal human experience to drop stuff on your toes when you're wearing steeltoe boots to make sure they work

[brave panther]

never had the urge

[arctic bronze]

Iv not lmao

[vestal granite]

not like heavy stuff but medium weight stuff

like you give a good tap with a hammer or somethin

[brave panther]

well that would kinda scuff the leather

[steel stream]

I can still make out the image, this is lying and makes FSR seem way better than it is

[steel stream]

yeah valid

[fervent chasm]

Installed a 2x64gb kit and getting CPU led like one sec, then DRAM led a few seconds, then it alternates like that a few times and stops on DRAM

Any ideas

[brave panther]

wait for atleast 15 minutes

it is prob doing memory training

and 128gb takes looonngg time

[fervent chasm]

My 192 took less than that

4 dimms

I guess I’ll let it go then

[stark remnant]

is this build good for 2k$? https://se.pcpartpicker.com/list/yFVFFZ

[tranquil finch]

How often do you reinstall windows?

Buh

I've had 1.5 beers and feel drunk

Uhhh reset your CPU overclock to stock (aka disable pbo) and disable xmp
