That makes zero sense

[livid flame]

He didn’t understand that simple phrase so let him be

[drifting garden]

got it thanks for the help

[topaz veldt]

What is the cost benefit of automating your linux iso stream?

[young void]

If you need help getting said driver feel free to drop your exact motherboard

[topaz veldt]

like... the cost is $0 and the benefit is $1M wtf?

[steel stream]

It's a batch of scripts that you can use to get rid of Dolby Vision or HDR10+ metadata layers and just leave the base HDR

[drifting garden]

ive done it a few times i SHOULD be okay

[livid flame]

It’s a concept. You need to implore context instead of being dim. The cost and benefit is time in this instance.

[drifting garden]

okay @edgy laurel you think reinstalling will fix this issue

[brisk jolt]

Yeah its pretty good for what it is

[edgy laurel]

no idea

[topaz veldt]

Gee I wonder what the benefit could be behind 10 mins of scripting and perpetually using the logic? 🤔

[brisk jolt]

Few holes here and there

[edgy laurel]

but when you're at this point, you have to try things

[livid flame]

That’s why I asked. Holy fuck you’re dense.

[edgy laurel]

omg ladies

https://tenor.com/view/woo-okay-gif-22413361

[fervent chasm]

We dont know if you have 10 billion files, or 5

[brisk jolt]

More than 1

[livid flame]

Nor do I know how long it took to make it.

[fervent chasm]

@topaz veldt is it related to the datacenter you work at?

[drifting garden]

alrighty then ty for ur help also when i do get back into windows what do i download ?? talking abt the nvidia drivers here

[edgy laurel]

guys its for his home media collection

[livid flame]

Some people are just difficult for arguments sake but there we are. Enjoy ya night ladies and fellars

[edgy laurel]

and it was pretty clear there wasn't just a few files or a script would be unnecessary

[steel stream]

https://github.com/DonaldFaQ/DDVT idk if you are going down this road 5nail, but here's a collection of useful HDR10+ and DV tools

had to use it to fix some files so I could watch them on my S90D

[edgy laurel]

which specific script?

[steel stream]

Remover

[fervent chasm]

@livid flame is it normal to force a keyframe on connection or no?

[steel stream]

just got rid of the DV layers lol

[fervent chasm]

sometimes, especially when on static scenes, it takes a bit for the browser to actually display the stream because it seems to want a keyframe before decoding

[edgy laurel]

interesting. just removing metadata but not touching the video itself? and that worked?

[livid flame]

Yes as it sets the standard. (Really off to bed now)

[fervent chasm]

Yah sorry, thanks

youve been a lot of help

[steel stream]

I believe so?

You can also use it to generate HDR plots

it's some interesting stuff

How’s the stalker update

[edgy laurel]

delayed till thursday

[fringe vigil]

Why

[steel stream]

teach me how to make the JDS Element and then we can start talking

[edgy laurel]

dunno, i posted it in gaming this morning

[fringe vigil]

Do that mfs quest, in zalyissa

[grizzled lily]

what yall think about Audeze maxwell gaming headset for 300?

[edgy laurel]

i did, and saved it

[fringe vigil]

I forgot his name, I think he’s a gunsmith, his quest is funny asf

[steel stream]

ok that video is awesome

[fringe vigil]

bish ass snitch

[low sorrel]

what format should i watch the new avatar movie in

[steel stream]

send options

but probs IMAX

oh they still have to hand solder some of the Magni parts

[drifting garden]

guilty when i reset my pc and i wipe everything i plan on downloading the latest nvidia drivers and amd chipset do you think thats fine

[steel stream]

Imax 3D

[low sorrel]

wait is this real imax or fakeimax theater

whats screenx

[hoary hatch]

avatar?

[steel stream]

i dunno

[steel stream]

the last airbender

[devout ridge]

what are you defining as "real IMAX" because there's a million different variants with varying degrees of quality

[hoary hatch]

the last mouth breather

[low sorrel]

fire and ash

[low sorrel]

1.43

[low sorrel]

ooo 720degree screen

[devout ridge]

there are 30 of those theaters in the world

[low sorrel]

yeah and we have one

but i forgot if this one is the one

[devout ridge]

it is pretty safe to say when you see "IMAX" it does not mean 70mm imax

also can 70mm even do 3d video?

[low sorrel]

i think so

[devout ridge]

70mm imax can indeed be 3d, learn something new everyday

more resistance = less amperage right?

[steel stream]

yes

[devout ridge]

what's the equation for that?

[steel stream]

V=IR

am I getting baited

[devout ridge]

no i'm genuinely a dumbass

[steel stream]

Ohm's Law though

the closest 70mm Imax by me is in detroit fuck

[devout ridge]

so the inverse would be v/r=i

[steel stream]

yes

[devout ridge]

why would a 1kohm resistor get fucking hot as hell at 12v then? shouldn't that be an absolutely tiny amount of amps?

.01a

~.1w

[steel stream]

Are you sure it's 12v

[devout ridge]

yes, multimeter says so

it is a sketchy ass 12v power supply i pulled from an ancient projector though

[steel stream]

sidenote, this is the only possible showings at the Detroit 70mm

[fervent chasm]

Just ask chatGPT what the voltage is :P

[devout ridge]

multimeter says 12.3v

[fervent chasm]

Yah but ask GPT with a photo to make sure

It knows better than multimeter

[devout ridge]

the power supply is currently covered in electrical tape because it has no housing

[fervent chasm]

Have you ever tried custom poe?

[steel stream]

good question

[devout ridge]

it burned my fingertip a bit, like left a mark

only thing else in the circuit was a IEC

[steel stream]

yeah i've touched plenty of resistors at a similar current draw but never been burned

Send a picture?

[brisk jolt]

heres ac evo with rain

[devout ridge]

not the exact resistor i used, but pulled from the exact same bag of resistors

i had a pack with different ratings, but in individually labelled bags

[steel stream]

like my only idea was that it wasn't a 1k ohm resistor lol

measure resistance with mm?

[low sorrel]

IT FUCKING KNOWS

[devout ridge]

will in bit

god typing in vr is hard

[fervent chasm]

Why are you typing in VR

[dapper junco]

[fervent chasm]

Steam has a replay?

How many apps are doing this shit

Spotify is the only valid one to do it

[low sorrel]

has for years

[fervent chasm]

Wait lemme make sure I’m thinking of the same replay

Like, let’s you know what you’ve done all year, bunches up the data, etc

[dapper junco]

Yeap

[fervent chasm]

Ok, I did not know that steam does that

[dapper junco]

Steam's version of spotify wrapped

[fervent chasm]

[low sorrel]

no 4k miniled because im poor

and because it was 240 usd

[young void]

We take it as a w

[potent bronze]

also if i have some led strips on my pc with a rog strix b850-i mobo. what alternative to i have to custimize my lights

last time i installed the armoury crate it created a mess

[low sorrel]

[low sorrel]

im so pissed this was due to arrive on the 10th

[young void]

Downloading ones drivers manually is usually best ❤️. Armory crate is cool for those that dont know how yet though

[low sorrel]

again i paid 240 usd for a 4k miniled

do i really care that much that it's not 32in

[indigo walrus]

Can confirm. This is why I always use Driver Blaster 9000 Pro MAX Extreme: TuneUp Edition the manufacturer's website to acquire drivers when installing Windows for the first time on a system.

[potent bronze]

it made my task manager go crazy (couldnt left click and type) but i want to change my lights

[young void]

As long as it looks good, ya know

Can always uninstall armory crate and go from there, signal rgb is my preferred rgb software

The powder taste is ughhh

[burnt socket]

cuz i have an ssd mount on my case, the tablet's magnets stick to it and sticks tight

so its quite convenient

ok im taking it out before i actually get killed

[frank zealot]

I mean, plenty of people put screens inside of the pc

So it certainly doesn't hurt anything

The only used thing is the GPU, the other parts are new (his profile is consists of builds that he just resells)

it's like this world is actively working against me in trying to make this ancient piece of junk work.
I managed to write a PPD file with which i can print PDF files over the nework using CUPS on a Raspberry Pi connected to the printer via USB.
I managed to setup the Pi to spawn a wifi network to where android devices can connect to and print over WiFi but that's inconvenient because that network has no internet connection. So you have to connect, print and disconnect every time.
The printer itself is actually BT1.0 compatible but you won't find any app in the playstore that has the right drivers for it.
I paired my phone with the Pi but i don't think there's a single app in the playstore that would let me send raw PDF files over Bluetooth to let CUPS handle the printing of it

[cold bone]

mf got flagged as a likely spammer

[dapper junco]

Do you intend to use one headphone for both traveling and gaming at home?

[brisk jolt]

this is fine

[grizzled lily]

yea gym, gaming work

[edgy laurel]

these are not really comparable IMO. One doesn't cross shop them as they are two different use cases. https://www.rtings.com/headphones/tools/compare/audeze-maxwell-wireless-vs-sony-wh-1000xm5-wireless/37448/33024

[grizzled lily]

they also have planer driver that are vertical, are they better or similar?

[edgy laurel]

i think any metrics you could want to answer that is in the above link

[dapper junco]

hmm, but I guess you want to use the headphone in wireless mode for both scenario, which bluetooth sucks in terms of latency and bandwidth limitation when the microphone is in use

If you can live with wired connection while gaming then I'd take the XM5 tbh.

[signal timber]

Man best spam in ages fr

apparently that guy's acc was hacked at some point and was used to spam stuff

yea i think i can, cause i also want a oled 1440 monitor so Might as well save 50😂, do you think if i ask for support they give discounts?

[signal timber]

Cant discord support get your acc out of the spam list

[dapper junco]

how much is the XM6 btw?

[grizzled lily]

600

[grizzled lily]

nah i tried to contact them, but the blacklisted me🥲

[signal timber]

But why

dawg

[grizzled lily]

sorry 400

[dapper junco]

I was wondering if you aren't from the US with those prices lol

[grizzled lily]

planer driver vs cone shaped?

[signal timber]

Hmm you ain't marked as a spammer on my phone strange

[dapper junco]

ehhh, its just different methods to make sound, both works 🤷‍♂️
There are differences on how they sound, but I don't think its gonna matter to you tbh

A 9600X would probably be the best pairing for this specific prebuilt
9600X is very appropriate for a 5070
A lot of prebuilt buyers (I'm talking people buying from Costco) simply like to know they are on the most recent generation

it was a margaritaville resort and that was a lot of jimmy buffet to listen to for a week

[hoary hatch]

Aka my dad played a lot of Jimmy Buffett on road trips

[pure garnet]

well actually in grand turk

there’s like a whole compound built up around the port

Do you think I could run 4 sticks of ram at 6400mhz cl30 on 14th gen intel because ram is so expensive id rather buy another identical kit then buy a 64gig kit

[pure garnet]

just run 4 sticks at jedec

[brisk jolt]

idk can you

[clear juniper]

Will it hit 6400mhz cl30 tho or will I have to run it slower

[brisk jolt]

my 9950x3d is incapable of running 6400 :/

[turbid locust]

@pure garnet do you like squidward

[pure garnet]

he’s aight

[pure garnet]

most likely slower

4 sticks are more of a 4800 affair

[potent wing]

[devout ridge]

on am5, on intel they can fair likely hit 6400

as long as it’s single rank

[pure garnet]

lga1700 and cooperating with memory are antonyms but

i wouldn’t expect 6400cl30 to be plug and play

[devout ridge]

lga1700 does a lot better than am5

6000 cl30 is likely, 6400 cl36 is also likely

[pure garnet]

actually isn’t arrow lake rated for 2dpc 6400

nvm still 4400

[civic reef]

Thinking of making my T470s useful again

I don't have an adapter for it, it's slow, I don't even turn it on

Thinking of sending it over or to remove the display off of it and solder/connect an HDMI port to it

[warm urchin]

K-sku LGA 1700 has pretty good IMCs but non-k will be Jedec more or less

[civic reef]

Less doable; Turn the bottom of the laptop into a keyboard, no more laptopping

[devout ridge]

K and non K have the same IMC

LGA1700 is all but guaranteed to hit 5600mt/s 2dpc single rank dimms

though you're quite likely to hit 6000 or maybe even 6400

[pure garnet]

non k can’t change sa

[devout ridge]

What does "SA" mean in this context

[pure garnet]

system agent voltage

you need to change it for higher frequency memory

I should wait then. We just got our power back. Sky looks better

[topaz veldt]

It has flashback no concern don't overthink it

If the BIOS update doesn't work I think it's the gpu driver

Also, does it affect the pc if I install steam in my main drive but the games on another drive??

[potent wing]

or rufus and the iso on the offical website

if you wanna bypass logging in n all that

i dont get how packages get lost

isnt there internal tracking

[pure garnet]

bc it's the holiday season and they don't scan anything anymore

[brisk jolt]

i’ve already seen that 6200 is the limit for the 9950 so my next step is in g2

it wasnt even that long to find out

[pure garnet]

another 6200 sample?

OOF

[fervent chasm]

is it really worth the tradeoff? is the speed increase worth it?

[brisk jolt]

another? 9800 didnt even make the cut

[pure garnet]

7600+ is competitive with gear 1 speeds

[brisk jolt]

Im not gonna try above CL30 or whatever i highly doubt its gonna make a difference

[pure garnet]

dual ccd chips beneift more iirc

[fervent chasm]

yah but how likely are you to actually get that stable on AM5?

[devout ridge]

benefit more from what

[pure garnet]

the gear 2 bandwidth

[brisk jolt]

ram speed

[devout ridge]

basically zero

[pure garnet]

it's not hard at all if you have a 1pdc board

[brisk jolt]

but like over gear 1 is like what 1% increase

[devout ridge]

well 7600g2 is attainable, 7600g1 ain’t

[fervent chasm]

yah we're talking g2

[devout ridge]

anything above 7600 is competitive with 6000g1

[pure garnet]

8000 2:1 ~= 6400 1:1

[brisk jolt]

Lets make a gear 1.5 like DK’s AE86 with gear “3.5” /s

[pure garnet]

thats why if you have a bad tile people rec g2

[brisk jolt]

Question is could this 9950 even hit 8000 stable

[pure garnet]

its less work on the imc than 6000 is so

[brisk jolt]

the 9800 is as good as literal dogshit

[pure garnet]

yeah it should

deadass launch the 270k at like fuckin $350 and you smoke the 9850x3d by a long shot

check for disabled ethernet device
or download ethernet drivers for ur mobo

[brisk jolt]

yeah yk what fuck amd im joining mac in having shit amd bins

[pure garnet]

tbf this is my 2nd 9800x3d

and my 3rd am5 cpu overall

my 7800x3d might be able to do 6200 but i never tried, and my first 9800x3d was a 1.3v 6400 sample

[potent bronze]

Use asus or AMD

[brisk jolt]

im on my 3rd and I didnt really bother with the 7600x but its better than the 9800 imc anyway

[pure garnet]

now i have the 1.2v one

Anyone else have this issue where your doing anything like opening browsers/playing games and sometimes when it clicks it puts you back to windows

[pure garnet]

1.15v almost worked but

error :\

[brisk jolt]

my 9950 cant 1.3v 6400 so like gear 2 i go

[shell void]

i’m guessing $550 for 9850X3D and $800 for a 9950X3D2 if it existed

i don’t think 9950X3D2 is real though

lets see if they get it now

[potent bronze]

Is realtek audio okay to install from asus website??

[devout ridge]

yeah…?

[potent bronze]

Okay. Wanted to make sure

[hoary hatch]

2K FHD = 1920x1080
2K DCI = 2048x1080
4K UHD = 3840x2160
4K DCI = 4096x2160

2.5k would be 2560x1440

[brisk jolt]

I thought you meant 2K as in 2000 in cash

[crimson widget]

Ain't no one referring to 1080p as 2K

[hoary hatch]

Also it says full HD for 1080p

Not 2k FHD

[devout ridge]

both are correct

[hoary hatch]

Real Gs will use DCI standards

[crimson widget]

I think it's excessive to call 1080p as 2K

[low sorrel]

32gb of ddr5 + x870 + aio for 460...

[devout ridge]

the standards exist for a reason

[devout ridge]

i think it’s excessive to call 2160p 4k

[crimson widget]

I don't think the K is a standard we should even follow

[potent wing]

anything can be 4k if you break your monitor

[devout ridge]

4k pieces?

[potent wing]

4k kidney stones

[hoary hatch]

The problem is we use the vertical resolution to describe lower resolutions and the horizontal resolution to describe higher resolutions

[pure garnet]

1440p only started getting called 2k when people wanted to feel better about their low res monitor

[crimson widget]

Tbh 1080p 1440p 2160p works for standard 16:9 monitors

[hoary hatch]

Why that happened, no idea

[vestal granite]

based and true and factual and true and goated for this

[hoary hatch]

2k 2.5k 4k works for 16:9 And 16:10

[crimson widget]

But then you have 5k2k how do you even use the p format here

[vestal granite]

im gonna be honest i dont even know what 4K is anymore, i always thought it was 2160p but thats 2000s but its 3640 wide but thats not 4000s why are we rounding up i wouldnt round up a car

[merry stirrup]

3840x2160

[vestal granite]

3640 to account for left side taskbar

[merry stirrup]

or dci 4k is 4096x2160

[vestal granite]

yeah can we just use the resolution because thats so much better

[potent wing]

im using funny linux mint theme for my taskbar

[hoary hatch]

DCI 4k supremacy

[vestal granite]

its like 5 more letters to say the resolution of stuff

[crimson widget]

5120×2160

[vestal granite]

4K is just for marketing, we dont say a PSU is 80+ for example

i need a 8 hour gamersnexus documentary talking about this so other people will start spreading the message

[crimson widget]

4k uw

5k2k

So 4096x2160 is 4k2k

3840x2160 is 3.8k2k!?

1920x1080 2k1k

[vestal granite]

and the 2nd installment of the fast & furious franchise is 2f2f

[pure garnet]

pro tip they teach in a 3rd grade math class: numbers above 5 round up

3840 would round to 4000 if you're doing flat Xk stuff

[vestal granite]

they teach it in 3rd grade math class because its 3rd graders

they teach pre-algebra in 4th grade math class and that tells you to not round up

[wise bear]

[potent bronze]

No

[wise bear]

ah okay

[young void]

Oofs id hard shutdown holding the power button and wait 10 seconds

And turn the psu to off to fully clear

[potent bronze]

The first 3 apps I download and restarted my pc and didnt have any problem

Not until I restarted it for a second time

[potent bronze]

Alright

[low sorrel]

and then theres canary as well

[potent wing]

ISNT canary just for linux

its the only place ive seen canary at

[fringe vigil]

George

[low sorrel]

no

[fringe vigil]

mf

[young void]

Before you do anything once back up let windows updates do everything it needs and check optional updates for any device drivers

[low sorrel]

it's just that the people who would use canary are very much the type of people to use linux

[young void]

Not the worst deal but good at 1440p

[potent bronze]

Still nothing.

[young void]

Need coffeees anyone else feel free or try and make a #1027757333117415424

Tis odds

3 things to try

[potent wing]

don’t rely on google ai

[potent bronze]

It won't let me do that shortcut

I can restart the pc and quickly close task manager and it fixes its self until I restart the pc again

[edgy laurel]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feature_toggle#Canary_release

[potent bronze]

Let me see

[fickle oasis]

Guys can someone help me rq my bios flashback light keeps flashing but im not updating the bios or anything any ideas?

[edgy laurel]

plenty of ideas. incorrectly setup flash drive, GPT and not MBR, wrong BIOS downloaded, not renamed correctly, etc..

a bunch of little things need to be done 100% correctly or flashback will fail

[fickle oasis]

Im not downloading or updating the bios

Theres no USB plugged in either

[vestal granite]

does the PC boot

[fickle oasis]

No yesterday only booted after i pressed reset cmos

[vestal granite]

the most straightforward solution is probably to just actually update the bios

[fickle oasis]

Its at the latest version though

[vestal granite]

how do you know

[fickle oasis]

Like i said yesterday it booted so i checked the bios

[potent bronze]

Should fast boot be disabled? In bios

[young void]

Checked a few vids the steps where the same as listed, never hurts to try

[crimson widget]

Why would anyone set up chatgpt instead of MBR I should end it

[vestal granite]

for the average person it probably doesnt matter but for the average person in this discord server disabling it will save you some headache
(fast boot does some weird hibernation memory dump shit that fucks shit up if youre trying to reboot your PC to fix a problem)

[fickle oasis]

Btw whenever my pc did boot it wouldnt let me use my pin would just say "something happened and blah blah cant use your pin"

[potent bronze]

I disabled it.

[edgy laurel]

[potent bronze]

I had to end task manager to restart windows explorer

Do you think if I restsrt pc if shouldn't do the same thing

[low vector]

can someone help me choose between these two computers? if so dm me i’m just looking for an opinion because im stuck

[edgy laurel]

don't confuse bios level fast boot and windows level Fast Startup (the hibernation thing)

[vestal granite]

i did confuse them and now im further confused

[edgy laurel]

confusingly similar names

[young void]

Im just the juice box guy

[edgy laurel]

like I still have the BIOS fastboot on, need all the POST time improvements I can get

but i have Fast Startup disabled in Windows

so my "shutdowns" are actual shutdowns and not weird hybrid hibernations

[potent wing]

this response made be phsyically angry

[frank zealot]

worst "feature" ever

[frank zealot]

ask away, someone will probably respond

[frank zealot]

sus

[frank zealot]

if you're having issues? Fastboot can make getting into the bios annoying.

If everything's working well, can't hurt to boot faster

[potent bronze]

I cant seem to find the problem

Would startup apps be affecting it?

[edgy laurel]

damn

thats far to much Enabled

[potent bronze]

What should I keep enabled

[edgy laurel]

though none of it is all that problematic

you don't "need" game launchers to startup at boot

[potent bronze]

Right now I'm able to move around my pc becuase I end task "task manager".

[edgy laurel]

onnly thing I'd keep enabled would be maybe signal

[vestal granite]

its not a game man its a way of life you just arent elite enough

[low vector]

I currently have an outdated gaming laptop and deciding to switch over to desktop (meaning any upgrade would be an upgrade to me)
I'm able to get a custom built lightly used:

RTX 4060 8gb | RYZEN 5 3600 | 32GB RAM DDR4 3200MHz | ACUS b500 onboard wifi & bt | 1tb M.2 SSD | 650w 80+ bronze power supply $800.00

or a ibuypower prebuilt thats on sale, i dont know how to feel about main brand prebuilts but its a very decent deal which is why im considering it, and for a hundred dolalrs more its a lot better stuff

AMD Ryzen 7 8700F, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060Ti 8GB, 32GB DDR5 RGB RAM, 1TB NVMe SSD $899.00

[pure garnet]

the prebuilt is a way better value

like insanely better cpu

[low vector]

i know, just for a hundred dollars more

im leaning towards that

[potent bronze]

Security health systray??

[young void]

Thats what i was thinking the 8700f is going to be a much better time, better everything

[low vector]

it's originally priced at $1,300 and on sale for 900

[potent wing]

Buy it

especially 32 gen ddr5 no matter the brand

[low sorrel]

what do yall think? @frank zealot

[frank zealot]

hands down the 8700f + 5060

[pure garnet]

guys reasoning for sale is stupid butt that’s a pretty nice card

[frank zealot]

I'm shocked it hasn't gone down more, but yeah. not bad.

A 5070 TI is 750

[low sorrel]

cad tho

a 5070ti is 1000 cad

[frank zealot]

OH? 600 CAD? SCOOP THAT SHIZZ

that's like 450 usd? hells yeah, that's an immediate "YES"

[low sorrel]

435

[fervent chasm]

over LAN, right side is a sunshine+moonlight stream into my other pc on WiFi

so theres that latency on top of my stream

the other pc is decoding the AV1 frames with iGPU I think

285k iGPU

but yah, finally got stable FPS

bandwidth also went up a bit, peaks like 30Mbps tho (but the frames have to be constantly changing like in a game or something)

[edgy laurel]

if you got all the hardware to do av1 that should allow the best flexibility today. kinda its whole party piece is efficiency

in theory

[fervent chasm]

yah the decode is really fast

[pure garnet]

go buy it

talk to us later after

[fervent chasm]

encode is not bad, 3ms per frame

[random flame]

Kinda wish it was possible sometimes to edit av1 vids directly, even with the quality loss.

[tranquil finch]

should i set these settings to high performance?

[random flame]

Though that also makes me wish we could've been able to do that even with h.265, which we still can't without issues.

[young void]

This poor chap xD

[edgy laurel]

stuck... because it melted and fused itself together??

[young void]

Id assume

[turbid locust]

still wanting $1300 for it is kinda funny

[edgy laurel]

funny

[turbid locust]

banger

in other news I’m getting interested in watercooling again but planning a loop and maintaining it continues to sound miserable

[pure garnet]

wait for zen 6/nvl imo

water blocked 265k is just odd

[turbid locust]

it’s not the 230W funny cpu that I’m really worried about watercooling

[edgy laurel]

I had a great experience many moons ago

[pure garnet]

aren’t you planning on 6090 too

[edgy laurel]

there was basically no maintenance apart from maybe a top up of distilled water every few months

[vestal granite]

fellas dont forget to not forget that fallout season 2 is out today

[hoary hatch]

I already forgot

[steel stream]

oh is it? nice

[hoary hatch]

(8+16)+(8+16)+4 would be a great custom loop choice

[steel stream]

I just had my blood drawn and the person taking it said "I love my job. I can stick needles into peoples veins, draw their blood, get a paycheck for it and not go to jail"

[vestal granite]

thats dope

im glad scary people can have jobs like that

[steel stream]

yeah I told them it's good they have a job they love

[vestal granite]

[hoary hatch]

December is boring

[potent wing]

[hoary hatch]

No more slacking from the speculators in the new year

[turbid locust]

Yeah but I mean those things are going to be unobtainium for like at least a year

[steel stream]

it'll be sooooo easy bro

[steel stream]

when are you gonna start leaking trade secrets

[turbid locust]

easy if you have bots and $70,000
