[limpid galleon]

Ok ill do that

[hoary hatch]

DDU and reinstall graphics driver

[arctic bronze]

Is it the same ram speeds as the old ram

[limpid galleon]

I did try to over clock my cpu

[hoary hatch]

Run like that for a while and see if there is any change

[limpid galleon]

Now valorant wont open, i already turned on secure boot

[arctic bronze]

@limpid galleon tell us exactly what you did and changed, give us the specs of the new ram and old ran too

[hoary hatch]

I mean valorant is trash so that could be why

[arctic bronze]

A sign from God

[brave panther]

its fine

[limpid galleon]

I followd a video, i remember turning off high presicion timer

I can link

[arctic bronze]

High precision timer?

[limpid galleon]

I dont expect u to watch it but maybe u know the vid

High precision event timer

[arctic bronze]

Just undo any changes you made

Reset bios, set your ram back and turn on resizeable bar

Thats all you need

[limpid galleon]

Is updating bios also good?

[arctic bronze]

It wont do anything for you

[limpid galleon]

How do i turn off pbo

[arctic bronze]

Bruh

[limpid galleon]

Or what that guy said

[arctic bronze]

Why mess with settings when you dont know what they do

[limpid galleon]

He said to do it

Isnt that just turning off overclocking

[arctic bronze]

Who is he

[limpid galleon]

Discord his name

[arctic bronze]

Pbo is amd pushing your cpu within its limits

[arctic bronze]

?

[limpid galleon]

Oh

[hoary hatch]

Um no we 2 beers in

[arctic bronze]

Go into bios and do what i said

[hoary hatch]

Yippee kiyay

[arctic bronze]

Reset bios, set your ram back and turn on resizeable bar

[arctic bronze]

Dudes 2 sips in and is shit faced 😭

[limpid galleon]

Only option is auto

[arctic bronze]

Reset bios

[hoary hatch]

Being a lightweight is so easy, be jealous

[arctic bronze]

Na 😧

[hoary hatch]

Yüs

[limpid galleon]

This right

[arctic bronze]

Yes

[limpid galleon]

Ok now i turn on resizabke bar

[hoary hatch]

I'm white girl schwasted

[limpid galleon]

Same i had some wine and shots earlier

[hoary hatch]

Wait why are there 2

[limpid galleon]

Good enough for me

[hoary hatch]

2 boot manager windows does not spark jou

[limpid galleon]

This pc has like 3 drives

2 ssd 1 hhd

[hoary hatch]

Yeah but how many windows installs

[arctic bronze]

https://tenor.com/view/bongo-cat-button-red-button-gif-25263713

[limpid galleon]

I think one but i reinstalled it

I think i deleted everything

[arctic bronze]

https://tenor.com/view/monday-morning-gif-16649771908750219384

[limpid galleon]

That wont do anything

Its ur bios settings

[limpid galleon]

Valo still doesnt work

[limpid galleon]

God

Flash a new bios or what

What should i do guys

Maybe get new drives?

[fervent chasm]

BIOS is over a year old, might be the reason it’s not posting with this RAM (talking about my kits)

[pure garnet]

just reset to default settings

[limpid galleon]

Bro now my hard drive is clicking

And it isnt being recognized

[shell void]

fez my goat

[low sorrel]

when did peyton become rich

[arctic bronze]

Can you read? Iv told you several times what to do

[tranquil finch]

Guys, do you do windows installation with or without internet? Because let’s say, windows will download some random driver for GPU, or some other things.

[arctic bronze]

Without

[indigo walrus]

Eh, it depends. I usually do the install with internet, but say no to getting the latest updates if prompted.

[brave panther]

always without, when it is installed then it gets taste of the net

[limpid galleon]

I did bro

[edgy laurel]

Always have had full internet and done every OS update available immediately.

[indigo walrus]

If that hard drive is model ST500DM002 (as shown in one of your UEFI screenshots), it's a Seagate Barracuda 7200.14 released in 2011. We're now 14 years later, so that drive is well past its expected lifetime.

$1300 board and $2750 memory 🔥

[topaz veldt]

cool board, just watched some

[edgy laurel]

when the CPU is the cheapest single component of the big three

[edgy laurel]

type of hardware thats totally cool and i'll watch someone else talk about it, but its really kinda absurd

so much stuff

[topaz veldt]

yeah did you see the rear IO?

[shell void]

the type of board that a 52 core 288MB Nova Lake processor deserves

[edgy laurel]

oh, thats neat its L1T's custom branded

[topaz veldt]

yeah they made a custom display thinger

[edgy laurel]

@pure garnet Possibly need a Godlike to get it?

[topaz veldt]

mITX board has a rear (PCIe 5.0) NVMe slot but without a heatsink my 990 Pro (and obv SN8100) runs hot... so... gonna try this

[edgy laurel]

Oh wow

5.0 on the rear?

[topaz veldt]

yeah it weirdly has 5.0 front, 5.0 rear, and 5.0 GPU

[edgy laurel]

and people wonder why ITX carries a premium

[topaz veldt]

this is rare config

[shell void]

wtf i want a black dragon

[topaz veldt]

my Z890 had 3 rear NVMe but all 4.0

[edgy laurel]

hold on 3 on the backside??

[topaz veldt]

I think it was 3, at least two

[edgy laurel]

still one more than I've ever seen

[topaz veldt]

The fact this one is 5.0 is wild

[edgy laurel]

also wtaf this Godlike box

[topaz veldt]

sorry, two

[pure garnet]

i have never seen that dragon

[edgy laurel]

still neat. yeah I ran a 970 Evo on the back of a board a while back with no direct cooling. I couldn't see an SN8100 loving it

[edgy laurel]

dark mode

[topaz veldt]

Even 990 Pro was not having it

Going to try that remote NVMe cable

[edgy laurel]

256GB @ 6000CL30 is nice

[tranquil finch]

And with logging into MS account?

[edgy laurel]

Yes

[tranquil finch]

And do you use it? I always switch to local account

[edgy laurel]

I do. You don't have to.

[topaz veldt]

256GB 8000 is nicer!

[slim pebble]

I actually played some Hell divers. Gotta love winter cold and a GPU that never hits above 68C

[shell void]

my first attempt might be a winner

maybe i shouldve gone for 6400 instead

[slim pebble]

What dimm setup? 2x64?

[shell void]

4x32GB my good sir

dual rank Adie dimms

[slim pebble]

Second what are you going to do with that much RAM?

[fervent chasm]

RIP, looks like the 2x64 came DOA

BIOS is updated, tested with my old kit, posts and boots, new kit nada

[slim pebble]

Nice! Some chips won’t even do full EXPO with 4 DIMM

[shell void]

nothing at all

it's just cool to look at

[slim pebble]

Make a 96GB RAM drive and play games off it 😆

[fervent chasm]

How much does it help performance

[slim pebble]

Not much, it would be for the meme

[fervent chasm]

looks like only loading times would be sped up

[edgy laurel]

not as much as you'd think

[topaz veldt]

Trfc is like dial up

[fringe vigil]

hi

[shell void]

hows that 8K testing going? make significant progress?

[pure garnet]

i didn’t know you owned 2 32gb kits ngl

[shell void]

yeh my first d5 kit was 2x32 5600cl28 that i used with my 14900K for a year

it's having no issue running 6k30 which isnt surprising

[wraith steeple]

[topaz veldt]

Yes. 8000 CL32.

Can't get 8000 CL30 stable

[burnt socket]

is the bent tips for the cooler normal?

[wise bear]

Yes

[edgy laurel]

the what

[burnt socket]

is this is the reason why my cpu is idling at 60 degrees

[wise bear]

what, no

[edgy laurel]

what

[wise bear]

idling at 60 isn't bad

[edgy laurel]

it certainly could be

[wise bear]

you dont need to be idling at super low temps

[wise bear]

dinky tt cooler, most likely why

[burnt socket]

what

[wise bear]

BAAAAD

THERMALTAKE

COOLER

[edgy laurel]

likely case of improper install to some degree + not knowing what idle means

[burnt socket]

its not even thermaltake

[wise bear]

oh its thermalright

still, 4 pipe cpu cooler not the best

[burnt socket]

it should be plenty to cool an amd cpu that includes its own box cooler

[edgy laurel]

point is, no one can diagnose or verify a cooling solution from a picture of half a fan

[pure garnet]

what cpu is it

60 degrees is a meaningless figure without context

[burnt socket]

e

[burnt socket]

r5 7600

60 degrees should be reasonable i guess

[pure garnet]

then yeah that's fine

your idle is still like 40w of heat

[wise bear]

seeeee

Peyton was right

[edgy laurel]

No, i don't agree

but w/e

(owned two Zen4 chips)

[wise bear]

my 9700x is "idling" at 54c

[pure garnet]

i mean it depends on what cooler, what rpm the fan is at, ambient temps

but 60c isn't a figure i'd really go that's super high on

[topaz veldt]

mfw 30c ambient

[edgy laurel]

and the critically important factor that nearly every beginner gets wrong, not knowing what idle actually means

[burnt socket]

40-45c across all cores, just that the max is about 65

[topaz veldt]

idle means discord and youtube

[edgy laurel]

gaaah

[wise bear]

this is completely fine.

[pure garnet]

idle means karhu

[wise bear]

idle means ramen (I'm hungry)

[pure garnet]

honestly my postcode showing cpu temp in the os is pretty nice

i can just glance and see if a stress test crashed or not

[topaz veldt]

yep - "huh.... 34c.... for 15 seconds.... its crashed"

[edgy laurel]

I've come to appreciate that mine is below the GPU. i have to bend down a bit to see it, thus its not a bright red readout glaring through the sidepanel

[topaz veldt]

said no one evar

why arent there any companies putting money into making an external power switch you have to turn on with a key

[topaz veldt]

...

[edgy laurel]

i believe you answered your own question

[remote mirage]

me and 14 other people would buy the hell out of that

[pure garnet]

probably because it could be bypassed with a screwdriver or paperclip

[topaz veldt]

thats why ou need to do an rfid key

[pure garnet]

or anything conductive

[edgy laurel]

would you settle for one with a wireless keyfob?

[topaz veldt]

no

I want to have to use my car key

[remote mirage]

actually i would

i need a fuckin nap

for like 5 days

Instead... anticipating the kids in school and working tomorrow... I get a text that there's a 2 hour delay

[wise bear]

Yeah you could use a good week-long unconsciousness tbh

[edgy laurel]

a nap is a foreign concept for me. when do adults do such things

[topaz veldt]

If I didn't have kiddos I'd nap like a champion

[wise bear]

I'm trying to nap less

[topaz veldt]

sigh

[wise bear]

Like I used to do it every day and Ir eally gotta stop doing that

[topaz veldt]

I almost sat down today

[wise bear]

jesus

slow down there bud

[remote mirage]

do people still dualboot in 2025

[topaz veldt]

no

[remote mirage]

ok

[edgy laurel]

They try, and sometimes do so for a little while

[topaz veldt]

and then they fuck up their bootloader

[edgy laurel]

then GRUB eats itself (or windows) and they come here askin for help

[wise bear]

"guys help my windows doesnt work anymore after installing linux"

FC4 was the first one I really got into

enjoyed it

[wise bear]

2 was dope on xbox, there was a level editor and multiplayer was supid but fun

[edgy laurel]

always fun to check pcgamingwiki for older games, always lots of fixes and improvements you can do for modern systems https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Far_Cry_4

[burnt socket]

is it ridiculous to upgrade an am5 motherboard

the chipset is THAT bad

[devout ridge]

what chipset

[burnt socket]

cough

[devout ridge]

bless you

[wise bear]

am4 isnt a chipset

[burnt socket]

b840

[burnt socket]

am5 is a socket

[edgy laurel]

Its ass, but what is it not doing that you need?

[wise bear]

Y.. Yeah I know

[burnt socket]

no pbo

[wise bear]

isnt pbo cpu though

[edgy laurel]

then if thats worth it to you, there you go. Better to have done this right the first time

[burnt socket]

theres no cpu overclocking available

[burnt socket]

its locked in the prebuilt setup

[wise bear]

its am4, with a b series chipset. there's overclocking

[burnt socket]

i had to go prebuilt because prices havent changed from the shortage

[burnt socket]

ITS AM5 😭

[edgy laurel]

he said AM5 and mentioned a 7600x earlier

[burnt socket]

non x

[edgy laurel]

whatever

[wise bear]

Sorry I don't pay much attention to silly questions

Your system has overclocking lol

[burnt socket]

no???

[wise bear]

$10 it do.

[edgy laurel]

it doesn't

[merry stirrup]

b840 is a620

[wise bear]

the fuck

[merry stirrup]

it doesn’t

[edgy laurel]

at least not through PBO. B840 is trash tier

[wise bear]

why is it called a b-series chipset if its not a b-series chipset

[edgy laurel]

quite literally the only AM5 chipset that users a different silicon for the actual chipset

[wise bear]

Thanks I learned something new and hate AMD a little more now

[edgy laurel]

no amd hate, just B840 hate

[wise bear]

That's so stupid

[edgy laurel]

its fine for low cost pre-builts

which was its intention

[wise bear]

Sorry for being pissy I'm not feeling the greatest ngl

[brisk jolt]

[burnt socket]

idk what should i upgrade from a b840

the m variant specifically

[edgy laurel]

b650 / b850

[wise bear]

Literally any other b-series chipset that's compatible w/ your cpu

[edgy laurel]

now which board, thats a different story

[wise bear]

Fuckin' b840.. What the fucky-wucky

[merry stirrup]

pain

[brisk jolt]

when in doubt take the mpower out

[burnt socket]

im thinking the gigabyte b850m force wifi6e v2

[pure garnet]

crazy how amd has reused P21 like 8 times now

[edgy laurel]

so if my board meets all the points in that chart for X870E, whats the actual difference

[burnt socket]

more m.2

[edgy laurel]

I have 4, X670E

peltier module with the axp90x47, ignore the ied behind it

[clear juniper]

If I gift my brother my rx 9070xt when I upgrade should I also upgrade his 5800x or should it be fine for 1440p

[pure garnet]

considering ram prices rn i doubt it's worth it

[clear juniper]

Id upgrade him to like a 5800x3d but I don't think that would be worth $400

[oak vector]

You can upgrade a cpu from the 5800x while being on ddr4 still

[oak vector]

Hahaha yeah

[pure garnet]

it's not worth the cost of admission

[oak vector]

5800x3d. Solid cpu. Dunno if it’s worth an upgrade over a 5800x unless you sell the 5800x or get a good deal on the x3d

[pure garnet]

the 5800x is perfectly fine, no point in paying $400 for an old x3d

[clear juniper]

Id sell the 5800x I mean I biult him it and payed for the pc if I can get a 5800x3d for $300 ill probably do it

He currently has a 9060xt 8gb and the vram is very limited for 1440p

[pure garnet]

ouch

[clear juniper]

I got it for $250 so I cant complain about only having 8gb

[clear juniper]

Damn

They used to be like $250 new

[oak vector]

Idk I don’t look at vram usage for my 4060ti 8gb at 1440p
I kinda just play my game. If it looks good and runs well, who cares

[clear juniper]

In the games he plays like war of rights it wants 10gb

Even when upscaling from 1080p it wants like 8.5gb

But it still gets 60fps to 80fps

My 9070xt gets 90fps to 130fps

[floral spear]

After a few months time for me to play this game

[brisk jolt]

no

5800x is already good for am4

[wheat void]

did I just teleport back to 2017

teleported back to years before the product was out

Yall think the rx 6500 xt is a decent card?

[toxic mirage]

I'm running one

[quick nebula]

How is it

[toxic mirage]

if it's what you have yeah it's alright but nothing crazy at 1080p, and other cards outclass it on VRAM

so depends on price but it's an okay card

[quick nebula]

I could get a non used one for 120$

4gb one

I just want a card that can play most games at 1080p med /high at 60fps

[toxic mirage]

yeah it's alright I'm running solid FPS in 1080

[quick nebula]

Alright thanks man

[toxic mirage]

yeah no problem

def better than iGPU

[quick nebula]

Yea im running a ryzen 5 3400g

Im just missing a gpu rn

[toxic mirage]

yeah I have a 7700x and the gpu was a gift from a friend that upgraded

[quick nebula]

Dangg nice

[toxic mirage]

lol I spent all my money on the rest of the build

[quick nebula]

I got my pc for 240

[toxic mirage]

damn yeah for a budget thing it aint bad

[quick nebula]

How much you spent ?

[quick nebula]

I got a
Ryzen 5 3400g
Asrock B450m hdv
16gb single slot ram 😭
256ssd and 1tb hdd
Some random cube case
And xpg pylon 600w

[toxic mirage]

Like 800 or so but some parts were gifted

[quick nebula]

Not bad

[toxic mirage]

7700x

7700x b650 gaming xax 32gb 6000 1tb montech xr and 850 watt psu

[quick nebula]

Honestly great build not bad for 800 and gifted parts

[toxic mirage]

yeah monitor was a gift a few years ago

[quick nebula]

Yea i might get the rx 6500 xt or i could save abit more for the rtx 3050

What would you recon?

[toxic mirage]

is a 6600 in range? it's a bit above both

[quick nebula]

Where im at the
Rx 6500 xt 4gb (120$)
Rtx 3050 6gb (175$)
Rx 6600 8gb (220$)

[pallid marsh]

how is the 6600 $220

For me is that price

[quartz karma]

hello so i've had a broken xpg s70 blade. i've gone through the rma process twice and each time received something broken. is there anything i cn do? the distributor is refusing to give a refund.

[indigo walrus]

If the retailer / reseller / distributor is giving you the run around, contact the manufacturer directly. If they also won't do anything, try to perform a return. If they won't process a return (because you're outside of the return window) and are refusing to uphold the terms of the warranty, contact the Consumer Protection body in your local jurisdiction for guidance. If all that fails and you purchased via credit card, contact your credit card issuer.

[quartz karma]

well they've offered a return but not a refund

and i've already gone through returns twice and each time got something broken

[indigo walrus]

Huh? How does that work? Why on earth would a consumer return the product but NOT get a refund?

[quartz karma]

like, return and then get something that's supposed to work

[indigo walrus]

Oh, so not a return then - a warranty replacement, aka another RMA.

[quartz karma]

yeah

[indigo walrus]

I mean, sometimes you can receive multiple duds. It's rare, but it can happen. Guess it depends on how much tolerance you have for this stuff. I'd give a manufacturer 2 chances to do right on their warranty. After that, refund.

[quartz karma]

shrug

just hope for the third time?

the rma process takes 8 weeks but i'm also not in the country when that finishes so it ends up taking about 6 months per rma

[indigo walrus]

Oof yeah I can see how that's extremely frustratingly time consuming. You don't have anyone who can act on your behalf, like a friend or familiy member who's somewhat tech savvy?

[quartz karma]

my family can collect it for me but they're not tech savvy enough to do a smartctl test on it

hmm i could get my friend to do it actually

but yeah if the distributor is refusing to give out refunds and insists i get a replacement, do i just phone up consumer protection

i think adata intentionally goes out of their way to avoid consumer complaints so

[indigo walrus]

Some company's do... and some company's just have really stringent policies to avoid certain situations. Unfortunately, sometimes these policies cause more headaches / problems than they're worth.

This is why being born yesterday is the worst generation

I was born 5751 days ago you are wrong

[fringe vigil]

90s to early 2000 baby’s had the most elite childhood and upbringing

[signal timber]

Why though

[fringe vigil]

Nickelodeon , music, shows

What shows

[fringe vigil]

you also were bought up on the consoles like Xbox PlayStation

[signal timber]

I wasnt

[fringe vigil]

Each release was goated and exciting

quick question

say i got the absolute cheapest thermal paste i could find

LOQ I wanted to buy is out of stock, plus all other LOQs are apparently also prone to board failure

My only other options are MSI Thin 15s, an ASUS TuF A15, and Gigabyte G6 MF

[scarlet iron]

Asus is really solid for laptops

MSI i'd avoid and also Gigabyte

Loq is solid if it has atleast 2 cooling fans in it

[wise bear]

zephrus also goated

MSI only puts a single cooling fan in their lower end laptops

The LOQ essentials are horrid

One fan, one DIMM

[wise bear]

Wow you're adulting fast, goddamn

[scarlet iron]

yeah not ideal but so far hasn't disappointed me with it's 200€ price tag lmao

Also, any comment on the board failure issue?

i don't understand these numbers

what's an m-K

3.5 watts of heat transfered per miliKelvin

[digital plume]

ah yes milikelvin

how didn't i think of that

[wise bear]

oh, sorry

watts per meter kelvin

[digital plume]

that makes more sense i think

[wise bear]

it's the thermal conductivity number

[digital plume]

kryonaut has 12.5 W/(m·K)....

No I know I was reminding you of Hauppage

[topaz veldt]

Yup I had plenty of Hauppauge devices - I still have one

[digital plume]

but can it run doom

[wise bear]

Did you know that almost all SDR receivers use the tuner chip from those cards as the main radio?

It's kinda bunk because the way it's wired for radio use means it halves the total bandwidth it can do so you can't really get OTA tv signals because fat bandwidth :(

[frank zealot]

fuuuuuuuuck >.<
This is on a user's PC that's 2/3 of the way across the country

get a new drive, get an external reader
use the included software with the new drive to migrate everything to the new drive
uninstall old drive
install new drive

Problem solved that'll be $350

What the hell, Amazon just gave me a refund for the 2x64 kit without asking for it back

[wise bear]

yeah amazon is issuing refunds lately

they got sued or something like that

[fervent chasm]

Yah but I don’t need it it’s fucking broken

[arctic bronze]

Just use a finger on each side and pull straight out

[fervent chasm]

Someone refunded it after breaking it, I can see the scuff marks all over it

And then I got it and spent hours trying to figure out and then I started seeing the marks

[digital plume]

oh that sucks daniel

[wise bear]

lmao rip

[fervent chasm]

Not really I get my money back but like

[wise bear]

always check the seller/shipper

[digital plume]

💔💔💔

[fervent chasm]

Amazon shipped but third party seller

[wise bear]

And that's why

[digital plume]

item might have slight cosmetic damage 💔

[fervent chasm]

I’m pretty sure one of the dimms is missing one of the pieces next to the chips

[wise bear]

Unless I know the brand, if it doesn't say sold/shipped by Amazon, I'm not spending money on it.

[fervent chasm]

Transistor or something, it’s there on the other one

[fervent chasm]

They have like 900 reviews nothing under 4 stars I thought it would be fine

[digital plume]

oh that's common tends to happen when you install your ram with a hammer

yk components tend to fly out

bruh

People who brute-force building a computer bewilder me

[frank zealot]

what the fuck is wrong with people, holy shit

[digital plume]

i've had my fair share of redneck building

yet fail to grasp how one can desolder ram components

[frank zealot]

What I don't understand, and never have:

The whole golden triangle thing.

Sockets have keyed notches. They're REALLY easy to see. Why look for a mark that is frequently not very obvious, instead of looking for physical notches that are part of the spec

[wise bear]

I feel weak-ish and lights are overly bright for me today I need to be cared for 😭

[fervent chasm]

Yah but how do you break the part under the heat sink that’s only slightly sticking out

[frank zealot]

you weren't here for the idiocy of Elliot.

He asked 10,000,000 questions in here about everything he was doing

[wise bear]

who cares

[low sorrel]

Usually get it the first time and i I don't know why

[fervent chasm]

They usually did

[frank zealot]

like, if you drop a chip and fuck up pins? That's at least understandable. That can happen.

But like.... they've all got BLATENT NOTCHES. Putting it in backwards means you're a fucking idiot

[low sorrel]

How do you even put it in backwards

[wise bear]

amazon cares less & less about that shit lately tbh. I got a pair of boots that were overly big despite being labeled as my size and I got a refund for them

[digital plume]

we're at the same page jerry

[frank zealot]

I did it as a demo. It made a satisfying crunch 😄

[fervent chasm]

They should be made with little parts that stick out and only one side has the hole

Giant red tape

i was fixing my AC, replacing the expansion valve and it was really early morning and still kinda dark in the garage lol

[digital plume]

oh that's even worse, 2 stroke?!?!?

[wise bear]

no they're usually 4 stroke

twosies don't have the torque to run the pump

[fervent chasm]

it was one of these

[digital plume]

that already looks nuclear

[wise bear]

its just the bottle tint

mtn dew actually looks like that though, it's gross

[fervent chasm]

theyre already tinted and combine it with low light you really cant tell whats in it lmao

[digital plume]

never had mountain dew

[edgy laurel]

if its an internal combustion engine, of course it does

[fervent chasm]

everything about me smelled like motor oil for over a week

[wise bear]

I WONDER WHY.

[digital plume]

my cheapo pressure washer is electric

it does the job just fine

[edgy laurel]

it still has a lubricating oil but its likely sealed and not user-serviceable

[fervent chasm]

it was funny though thats all that matters

[digital plume]

i still don't know how you could get through the taste of motor oil

[wise bear]

yeah it'll be in the actual pump block itself

[digital plume]

i wll go and open up my 250 and taste the oil, just to verify it still tastes like shit

[fervent chasm]

my gf refused to be near my face for a while though because it was in my breath also

[oak vector]

Do teslas have oils that need to be changed
Legitimate question

Like how do they service a Tesla

[wise bear]

DONT EAT MOTOR OIL you fucking IDIOTS

[fervent chasm]

i got scared it was one of the oils that caused you to have a stroke and die

like i instantly called poison control

[digital plume]

nah, you'd have 4 strokes

[oak vector]

B-b-but
The oil

[edgy laurel]

literally everything but the engine is serviced like any other car. The battery/motor system has coolant that can be flushed.

[fervent chasm]

i think thats trans fluid tho not motor oil

[digital plume]

be careful with trans fluid, my unc drank some accidentally, she's never been the same

[wise bear]

the drive motors themselves have gear-on-gear contacts that require oil. the battery cooling system runs a special coolant, windshield washer fluids, cv joints..

[wise bear]

Lame af joke.

[digital plume]

i love lame jokes

[wise bear]

I'm trans. it was lame.

[fervent chasm]

oh i didnt realize the trans joke lol

[digital plume]

WOAH

[edgy laurel]

Teslas still have a lot of normal car components that wear. Brake pads/rotors/fluid, coolant, bushings and bearings, etc..

[fervent chasm]

you saw that video of the guy pumping the tires in the weird position of the cybertruck?

[digital plume]

i was thinking the same

[oak vector]

I mean makes sense
How else are you supposed to service the motor
Rewind the coils??

[edgy laurel]

No, i try very hard to ignore anything related to that abomination

[wise bear]

it.. no?

[edgy laurel]

Replace it

True true

[fervent chasm]

skip to 0:35

[wise bear]

We don't talk about the cybertruck in here.

[digital plume]

isn't that the same guy who fell taking off the hubcaps

[oak vector]

But…

[fervent chasm]

why would you even record yourself doing that and then choose to post it

[frank zealot]

we can talk shit about cybertrucks in here tho lol

[wise bear]

Because it's funny. the military's been doing it too

[oak vector]

I wonder how much of it can be recycled into a new motor

[fervent chasm]

lmao this?https://www.youtube.com/shorts/cAxcIZ83MfU

its different

[wise bear]

Ok and

[fervent chasm]

this one is funny because its funny, that one is funny because you have to make fun of the guy for doing it

[quick wedge]

I had a displayport cable and a HDMI plugged into seperate monitors.

I realised I couldn't use their max frames because of this. so I swapped them over.

Now the monitor with the displayport cable goes black if I run anything in 1280 x 720, can someone help please.

[frank zealot]

why would anyone run 1280x720 in 2025?!

[wise bear]

How are you surprised it's literally in my bio lol

[fervent chasm]

not everyone stalks bios peyton

[digital plume]

🥺

[quick wedge]

Running 1280 on a competitive game makes it smoother and more reliable to not drop fps

[fervent chasm]

that being said i stalk everyones bio when its a new person to me

[oak vector]

Wow Tesla servicing looks easy for the most part
Bit of break action
Whole lotta fluids
Some tyre stuff

Call me crazy, but it seems way easier than a combustion car hahaha

I mean it makes sense tho

[digital plume]

yeah almost like it's missing the combustion part hahaha

[frank zealot]

I'd say my first thought is get new cables, yours may be borked

[fervent chasm]

um, those are all easy on regular cars too?

[digital plume]

even easier

[quick wedge]

def not the issue, if i swap the cables over it can run it in 1280x720. - but if i do that they're both locked at 60 FPS

[fervent chasm]

even though the combustion is missing, the motors arent easy on electric vehicles either

the hard part sitll exists

[oak vector]

I wasn’t calling them hard
I was just saying that for the most part it’s easy stuff with a Tesla

[oak vector]

But don’t they just replace them

[fervent chasm]

Ah ok. I thought you were just ignoring the hard part of servicing vehicles

[frank zealot]

0.o locked at 60?
There's no high refresh screen that locks at 60 due to cable (except for VGA)

[fervent chasm]

That I dont know, would make sense to replace rather than fix tho

[digital plume]

well it's been forever that people don't know how to do proper maintenance with their cars

[frank zealot]

but ain't nobody runs VGA

[digital plume]

even if it's easy work

someone's sister who's obsessed with brand stuff will find a way to run their tires bald

[fervent chasm]

Idk why people think vehicles are expendable rather than an investment now

[quick wedge]

It depends on what cable.

If I plug my main monitor in with a displayport cable it locks at 60, but with a HDMI it doesn't

[digital plume]

i'd kill for an accord v6

[oak vector]

I know a guy who’s a mechanic at BMW
How he summed it up;
Working with combustion, you fix stuff, diagnose it, maybe replace it.
Electric; ya look at the computer, replace the part, tada

[digital plume]

you don't need nothing else

[frank zealot]

that makes negative 5 sense. What monitor is it?

[fervent chasm]

you could get the same for combustion with current tech, and some diagnostics if vehicle manufacturers actually cared about it

[digital plume]

okay but, don't all combustion cars come with i don't know an ECU that tells you exactly what's wrong

and most of the times it's a sensor that goes bad

[frank zealot]

the ECU is faaaaar from an exact science

[edgy laurel]

Good to know^

[fervent chasm]

yah but you cant find the exact issue, it only gives you an idea

[fervent chasm]

oh its real? I saw this last night on X

[digital plume]

oh for fucks sake not terraria

[oak vector]

I should get rdr2 so I can have it on epic and steam hehe

[edgy laurel]

well Hogwarts Legacy being the first one was real, so presumably

[oak vector]

That’s true

[digital plume]

this is my girlfriend's

Terraria is pog

[digital plume]

let's begin with i have 0 experience on terraria

[fervent chasm]

minecraft memories

[digital plume]

and probably have bought 2 or 3 games since i made my steam account in 2016

[proven cairn]

Its Minecraft but 2d and it takes longer

[quick wedge]

to answer your question anyway legion r27fc-30

LOL yeah that’s basically how he summed it up to me

[proven cairn]

Is fun

[digital plume]

at least it isn't

My second playthrough took 40

[digital plume]

at best i'm mediocre with games

[proven cairn]

Same

[digital plume]

there's no way my first playthrough is gonna take any less than 100 hours

[wise bear]

Give me. A sandwich.
