[fringe vigil]

Jojo ain’t no shit artist, shes a legend

[wise bear]

[steel stream]

I still need to watch S2 of that

[edgy laurel]

[fringe vigil]

She was 14 there

[wise bear]

only jorj would know that

[topaz veldt]

@edgy laurel imagine if this was snow

[edgy laurel]

for the record hes not talkng about jojo siwa or whoever that is, but the one hit wonder JoJo and the single Leave (Get Out) that basically everyone knows, at least the chorus of. Its from 2004 and was (still is) very popular

[topaz veldt]

its the end of you and me

its too late and i can't wait for you to be gone cause i know

[edgy laurel]

[edgy laurel]

yeah everyone knows it! lol

[fringe vigil]

Oh no no, too little to late, also baby it’s you was her very popular songs

[wise bear]

no idea lol

[fringe vigil]

too little to late I love that omg

[topaz veldt]

Why is Azerbaijan just into Jojo now

[wise bear]

The world may never know

[topaz veldt]

Imagine though having almost the same name as Jojo Siwa

[wise bear]

Imagine dragons tbh

[topaz veldt]

They are so scary

[wise bear]

I think Pelosi's face is scarier

[topaz veldt]

Where my headphone peeps at

[wise bear]

its like a painting that got rained on and came to life

srs though merry retirement (finally) to her

now if only the rest of the us govt would follow suit

[topaz veldt]

who

oh Pelosi - what a ghoul

[wise bear]

RIGHT

[topaz veldt]

I hope she chokes on her insider trading receipts

My poor Arya Stealths 🙁

[steel stream]

whats \

[topaz veldt]

my Hifiman Arya Stealths, bought in like 2022, the right driver stopped working

[nimble iris]

pc question, i js bought a 16gb ram ddr5 but now i need a gpu.
I wanna pay max 350€ and im looking for a 9060xt, one has 8gb vram and the other 16. should i get more? The 8gb one costs 300 and the 16 one 380 ish

[wise bear]

you're literally being helped in the other channel don't fuckin crosspost

[nimble iris]

Fucking chill its logical to ask many people

[wise bear]

nuh uh

[topaz veldt]

You have very limited options at that price point

[nimble iris]

One answer might be enough but more is better

[nimble iris]

The 9060 is the best u can get is what ur saying?

[smoky orbit]

Yes, but it also can be annoying to see the exact same message in a couple different places

[topaz veldt]

for that price

[nimble iris]

Yes i understand but also a easy solution is to js ignore that

[steel stream]

damn

[smoky orbit]

@nimble iris if you can wait, wait until we know if a b770 is confirmed or not

[nimble iris]

I already have a b650

[topaz veldt]

Out of warranty - I took the driver apart to check. They like... delaminated. The silver conductors on the mylar is not doing well. I reached out to support and they are selling me a brand new, not-refurb, entire headphone set for $275.

[smoky orbit]

I’m talking about the potential arc b770 not the mobo

[nimble iris]

Or is that a gou

[steel stream]

damn that's the price I got my Anandas for

[nimble iris]

Oh lmao mb

[smoky orbit]

No worries

[topaz veldt]

Yeah I figure I'll take it

I am going to buy a beater pair of headphones - I am thinking Senn HD 550s

[nimble iris]

This one? https://www.mindfactory.de/product_info.php/16GB-ASRock-ARC-A770-Phantom-Gaming-OC-Aktiv-PCIe-4-0-x16--Retail-_1503189.html

[steel stream]

from BB I am guessing?

[nimble iris]

Oh thats the a770, but will the b770 be any better?

[wise bear]

Do i buy more legos

[smoky orbit]

No, that’s an a770, there are rumours that a b770 might get announced relatively soon

[nimble iris]

And the price is hopefully in the same range right?

[smoky orbit]

Yes, it should be since the battle mage cards are quite good in general

[steel stream]

all signs point to yes\

[nimble iris]

Sure i can wait i guess it gives me more time to lower the monthly payment lmao

[steel stream]

@topaz veldt I would honestly go for these as a beater pair tbh https://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-HD6XX-Open-Professional-Headphones/dp/B08T123MCT

[wise bear]

financing a pc LMAO

[smoky orbit]

I think so, let me just check and make a couple conversions (the b770 isn’t sure to come out tho)

[smoky orbit]

The a770 costs around 420 cad here (around 260 euro) so it should be somewhere around that

[nimble iris]

Nah not rlly, first i got many hobbies and one includes dropping money in at the most random time (motorcycles). I may have 350€ laying around but i might need that for tuning or repairing my bike so ill js burn it slowly and make more money in the meanwhile

[smoky orbit]

https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/arc-b770.c4376

[nimble iris]

Its js smart for me to finance a pc

[vocal plume]

...no

[nimble iris]

If thats the case ill js buy that

[nimble iris]

Why? All the products are legally mine unless i dont have money

[vocal plume]

You pay extra in interest

[nimble iris]

Nope ❤️

[vocal plume]

Usually

[smoky orbit]

It depends on the financial situation and the financing deal

[nimble iris]

Paypal offers 0% interest if i pay monthly on time

My interest is like 0,003%

[vocal plume]

If you have to finance a pc you should just.... not

[nimble iris]

Explain why

[topaz veldt]

have you seen the 550 reviews?

[smoky orbit]

True, (there are small exceptions tho, like if you need it for your job and you’re self employed)

[nimble iris]

Your only argument is interest while my calculator lit says my interest in the span of 12 months is one whole cent lmao

[vocal plume]

Because you likely have more important things that need that money.

[nimble iris]

So you js proofed my point that monthly payment is worth it

[topaz veldt]

@steel stream

[nimble iris]

(In some cases)

[nimble iris]

Nah not rlly, first i got many hobbies and one includes dropping money in at the most random time (motorcycles). I may have 350€ laying around but i might need that for tuning or repairing my bike so ill js burn it slowly and make more money in the meanwhile

[vocal plume]

Jesus you arent listening. Nvm go spend money.

[steel stream]

nah I wil take a look

[steel stream]

Damn those are mangled

[topaz veldt]

Thats the traces under the magnets once I removed the cloth. I take care of my shit and don't listen at any crazy volume, etc. Not sure wtf happened. But $275 for a full replacement and new warranty, sold.

[nimble iris]

Im not paying a single bit of interest and my monthly payment is gonna be 30€ for 12 months (for a 9060xt 380€). Theres 0 interest and i dont wanna spend all my cash at once. I prefer having some money on the side for problems

[slim pebble]

It’s a rapidly depreciating toy that ends up worthless by the time you pay it off. Save. Pay cash.

[steel stream]

yeah that's crazy, idk what could have done that

[vocal plume]

The issue is if you miss even a single payment, you're kinda screwed

[nimble iris]

Not planning to sell it either way. Im gonna use it till it breaks or i upgrade

[slim pebble]

Get some financial education ffs.

[nimble iris]

Yeah luckily im not american and i pay it automatically and if i dont my bank will js pull 30€ out of my Account lol

[vocal plume]

Yea till something might happen where that extra 30 just isnt there

[slim pebble]

https://youtu.be/kSG71-7rIg4?si=boh16l9J8sTVZIxP

[vocal plume]

Idk about you but predicting the future isnt easy

[smoky orbit]

Ohhh that’s the best way to not notice an increase in terms of price

[nimble iris]

Atomic you prob dont understand my situation. I have like 400€ to spend. I dont want to instantly buy smth for 380€ coz then id have 20€ left. If i have any issues. Im screwed, might js loose 30€ a month while
Making 400€ a month

[steel stream]

@topaz veldt did you take that photo with your phone?

[vocal plume]

Then dont buy it. Its really that simple. If you cannot afford, do not buy

[slim pebble]

Get a second job or side hustle. You’ll have the disposable cash to buy whatever you want

[wise bear]

also don't finance your pc lmao

[nimble iris]

My price stays the same. Paypal would pay the company to the company and paypal would say „yo bro u owe us 400€ js give us that back slowly dont worry gng“

[vocal plume]

Thats what everyone here has been saying

[topaz veldt]

No - proper setup

[wise bear]

yeah except most of paypals payment plans are twice-monthly, sooooo

[nimble iris]

I wonder what im doing🤔

[nimble iris]

??? One monthly

[wise bear]

I can't wait to see you back in here going "guys i cant afford my pc anymore what do I do"

[steel stream]

Yeah i was going to say, shit's crazy close up and good quality, figured you used an actual camera

[vocal plume]

People think financing is the way to their dreams, and thats exactly what payment processors want you to think

[nimble iris]

I already paid 50€ for my ram now paypal decreased my monthly payment from 15 for 12 months to 12 for 8 months

[slim pebble]

“My PSU blew and I can’t afford to fix it because the payment is due!”

[wise bear]

oh my god STOP financing hardware

[nimble iris]

Hear me out, if i have debt ill personally do whatever you want

[wise bear]

get a fucking job and save your money you idiot child

[nimble iris]

Warranty exists ❤️

[vocal plume]

We are trying to save you from making stupid decisions. But please, go ahead and ignore us.

[nimble iris]

I work a side hustle lol

[vocal plume]

Great value entertainment

[nimble iris]

And also no js coz i monthly paid that doesnt mean im gonna do that everytime

[slim pebble]

People wonder why the boomers are sitting on so much cash, they’re financing this kind of stupidity and living off of it.

[vocal plume]

Clearly you are going to keep doing this until you accidentally do it too much and get fucked over

Be my guest but dont whine to us when you cant afford it

[wise bear]

"wuhh im 16 and i know about financial stability but im also stupid and want to spend every penny on a new pc that I probably don't even need atm"

[nimble iris]

Thats why i limit myself from that im not that stupid to have a 200€ a month monthly payment

[vocal plume]

https://tenor.com/view/not-you-not-no-nope-nah-gif-15452978

Or

[wise bear]

Actual foolish behavior

[nimble iris]

I saved everything up for my tune ups on my bike, i did some monthly payment for a short bit coz smth broke so i get it asap and i paid it like a month later

With the current pricing structure on pc parts? Meh i dont think so

Yk whats funny

That yall are falling for the ragebait like idiots lmfao

[vocal plume]

God damnit fine go ahead and fuck yourself over. I'll be waiting

[wise bear]

oh here comes the save-face with "omg guys im just trolling u im not this stupid"

[vocal plume]

I was totally trolling you guys and totally didnt just waste money

[nimble iris]

I get 400 a month in my pocket and i max do 50 a month for payments. Not more. I alr pay my rent, i alr pay for car tax. When i get my income ill pay the rest eitherway lmao

[nimble iris]

I mean you were the one screaming in letters lol

[wise bear]

$400/mo

[vocal plume]

I genuinely dont care dude. Go spend all your money and go broke

[nimble iris]

After tax and rent and food which imo is pretty alr i live quite alr

[wise bear]

you don't get to say that when you still live with your parents lmao

[nimble iris]

RENT

i pay RENT

[wise bear]

parents charging their children rent is nothing new lol

[nimble iris]

who pays rent when they live at their parents

[vocal plume]

Paying rent to your parents doesnt count little bro

[nimble iris]

Who tf does that lmao

[wise bear]

kid just wants someone to yes-and his moronic financial decisions lmao

[nimble iris]

I dont i live in my own apartment but alr

[wise bear]

yeah the shed in the back yard doesn't count

[nimble iris]

No i dont need a yes from anyone

[wide grail]

guys thermaltake toughpower sfx psu is it good or nah

[vocal plume]

Thats a mansion to him

[vocal plume]

Ew no

[nimble iris]

Whatever floats your boat, but i live in an apartment like i said

[wide grail]

i dont get why my friend says it's good and that i shouldnt spend on the corsair sfx one

[wise bear]

also in no capacity is a "side gig" of $400/mo enough for food, rent, electricity, water, AND financing a fucking pc through paypal you're actually lying lmao

[nimble iris]

400€ is what i keep in my pocket isnt that what i said like 3 times alr?

[topaz veldt]

wtaf is going on in here

[wide grail]

hes not saying corsair is bad, hes saying it's useless to spend that much on it

[vocal plume]

Look at me im a big boy with my big boy pants and big boy job and I live in my big boy shed apartment in my parents backyard

[topaz veldt]

Hey, my shed is nice af

[nimble iris]

Discussing if monthly payments on parts is worth it if you dont wanna pay rn

[wise bear]

stood wants to finance a new pc through paypal with no job and a "side-gig" of $400/mo

[topaz veldt]

only if 0% interest

[vocal plume]

Because your friend doesnt know what the hell he's talking about

[nimble iris]

It is 0%

[topaz veldt]

Then who cares

[wide grail]

may i ask why the thermaltake one is bad tho, just for my knowledge?

[nimble iris]

Apparently them for some reason

[wise bear]

this u?

[nimble iris]

Look at me im a 200kg big boy talking on discord with small 18 year olds laughing at their financial decisions while i still live in my parent’s basement

[nimble iris]

Anything wrong abt that?

[wise bear]

so which is it, do you have a job and a side gig or just a side gig

[vocal plume]

Thermaltake psus are not known for their longevity. They also have crappy OCP

[wise bear]

just quit lying dude lmao

[nimble iris]

Dude call it whatever you want i get paid and thats it

[gentle gale]

i would just get this
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Q36qqs/cooler-master-v850-sfx-gold-850-w-80-gold-certified-fully-modular-sfx-power-supply-mpy-8501-sfhagv-us

https://www.cybenetics.com/evaluations/psus/2598/

or the corsair ones

[vocal plume]

Lmfao you have no idea what you are talking about and it shows man. Get "ragebaited"

Fucken amature hour here

[wise bear]

So you only make $400/mo and you somehow have an apartment and pay all your bills and feed yourself.

For $400/mo.

[nimble iris]

i am so raging raahhhh you make me very mad rahhhh this is not cool rahhhh why are you bullyijg me raaah

[nimble iris]

For the 4th time, after i paid rent, food and all

[vocal plume]

Because you are a dummy.

Its easy to make fun of idiots because they do it to themselves

[wise bear]

~Inconsistencies~

[nimble iris]

You clearly get pissed of from someone saying they want to pay things later

[wise bear]

no I just hate liars tbh

[nimble iris]

Im buying a gpu now, pay 50€ and then pay lets say another 150 later and then then the rest

[merry stirrup]

me mom is now on the 6650xt and my sister is on the quadro RTX 4000

[vocal plume]

I was trying to stop you from making idiotic financial decisions but clearly you are too profoundly incompetent to understand that. So go ahead burn money you dont have.

[nimble iris]

Nothing wrong with that, i get warranty, i get 0 interest

[steel stream]

upgrades, people upgrades

[merry stirrup]

my mom plays more 3d games than my sister (who plays 0) and is on a 4K display, so the 6650XT is more fitted for her computer

[nimble iris]

Alr sure

[merry stirrup]

does 4k 60 with some dynamic res in bo7 cranked

[nimble iris]

You dont understand my situation either way and either you only read half the stuff or i got no idea

[steel stream]

damn

[merry stirrup]

its more like 1440p render res but its not bad

looks fine esp from 8 ft away

[steel stream]

is your mom good at bo7

[shell void]

mom needs a better gpu

[merry stirrup]

shes better than me at least on a controller

[vocal plume]

Lmao

[wise bear]

As someone who actually owns their house outright please dont fucking finance a pc with money you don't have

[steel stream]

hell yeah

[nimble iris]

I mightve said smth wrong coz english aint my main language but believe what you want

[merry stirrup]

yeah eventually

was thinking like a 3080 for her

maybe ill upgrade my womans gpu and give my mmom the 3080

[vocal plume]

Gamer momma

[merry stirrup]

idk, she has a 3700X so i should probably deal with that first but at 4k its not really an issue

[nimble iris]

Things getting more expensive, dont wanna pay more later, id js pay 30€ a month for a year of stuff and the extra money i have saved i can pay it soon

[merry stirrup]

indeed, shes been playing since ghosts

[nimble iris]

Plus im not financing a WHOLE pc, im only financing a gpu

[merry stirrup]

every game since then no cap

[steel stream]

god damn

menace

[merry stirrup]

fr

she wants to start playing arc raiders and move away from cod though

[steel stream]

that would be fire lol

[vocal plume]

[merry stirrup]

i just hope arc raiders isnt a typical ue5 game and munches vram

[steel stream]

get her to join the LTT cord

[merry stirrup]

cause 8 gigs at 4k is already a stretch and idk if its gonna do it

[vocal plume]

Ive only seen it use like 6gb on my 3080ti

[merry stirrup]

do you play 4k

[vocal plume]

No

[merry stirrup]

what res

[vocal plume]

1080p

[steel stream]

lemme check vram usage rq

[pure garnet]

useless datapoint 🔥🔥🔥

[merry stirrup]

1. thats a problem
2. yeah its going to hit 8gb on 4k lol

[vocal plume]

I dont even want to play at 4k

[merry stirrup]

might have to have her play at 1440p

[vocal plume]

It seems so pointless

[steel stream]

https://tenor.com/view/kto-kounotori-kounotoritoken-lbow-storkholders-gif-25676479

[pure garnet]

go to an eye doctor

[merry stirrup]

you dont even have a 1440p display

[vocal plume]

Who tf needs 4k on a 24inch screen...

[steel stream]

your 1080p display is pointless, you don't have enough detail to see sharp edges clearly

[merry stirrup]

at 1440p high it gets like 60 frames

i think that will be okay, maybe ill just set it to 4k balanced fsr at medium

[vocal plume]

Bro out here getting defensive over a stupid ass resolution to validate themself. Will you kindly stop being an asshole?

[pure garnet]

1080p fans explaining how god always intended for 30ppi to be standard

[steel stream]

merry christmas

[nimble iris]

Speaking abt monitors, any good monitors yall can recommend? Must have 144hz/160hz and good res

[merry stirrup]

6600 in a rando scene is getting 55fps at 4k medium with fsr quality maybe she can do 4k high with fsr then

[vocal plume]

You want me to run 4k, buy it for me

[pure garnet]

xg27ugc

[merry stirrup]

i dont see the point in buying a high-ish end video card then killing it with 1080p

[steel stream]

DLSS performance, epic settings

[pure garnet]

https://jobs.mchire.com

[merry stirrup]

ok so it should barely be doable then

[vocal plume]

What the hell are you even talking about man. I prefer higher refresh rates over higher resolution on a 24 inch monitor

[merry stirrup]

1440p 360hz 🤤

[pure garnet]

you can just have both

[merry stirrup]

even on my 3080 i played 1440 144 and that monitor was only 120$

[pure garnet]

4k240hz is a pretty common oled res

[vocal plume]

Im not dropping over 500 dollars on a monitor

[merry stirrup]

for a 400$ video card thats really not a stretch imo

[pure garnet]

yeah why would one invest in the thing they stare at for hours a day

[vocal plume]

I'll probably upgrade eventually but right now it works and I really dont care all that much

[vocal plume]

Because I genuinely do not care. It works and looks fine.

[merry stirrup]

got my sister a new case too

[pure garnet]

https://tenor.com/view/android-quality-gif-5446004732938910171

[merry stirrup]

phanteks xt v3 i think

and a random power supply

cause she has my schoolbus and i need that back

[vocal plume]

Man your vision must be ass if you think thats what 1080p looks like.

[pure garnet]

it may as well be

[merry stirrup]

edge will look delectable in this

[wide grail]

ok time to go for be quiet!

[merry stirrup]

excited to see it in a white case for the first time

[arctic bronze]

Thats what it feels like when coming from a 4k monitor

[vocal plume]

I dont even know who you are dude

[merry stirrup]

what he says specifically depends on the unit

[wide grail]

neither do i

[steel stream]

1080p content makes me sad

[merry stirrup]

dont blanket psu vendors, one of the few things that does not apply

[pure garnet]

unless he finds 1 specific shit unit the bequiet blank should do okay

[merry stirrup]

there are generally brands who make bad products but even gamdias has b+ tier units

[pure garnet]

all of the ones for sale at least are b and up i think

[merry stirrup]

yeah besides that one

[narrow gate]

Hm

[vocal plume]

Are there even any good thermaltake psus

[pure garnet]

is the straight power line still alive??

[merry stirrup]

a bunch

[vocal plume]

Then why tf do people keep shitting on thermaltake psus as a whole

[merry stirrup]

their cheaper stuff is generally bad but who expects a 40$ power supply to be no more than c tier

[narrow gate]

Thermaltake has done silent swaps so many times that they are thermalswap

[merry stirrup]

a lot more than bad actually

[pure garnet]

tbf why would i pay $80 for a thermaltake when i can just pay $90 for a corsair at that point

[steel stream]

the real way to play 1440p or 1080p content is to buy a 4K display then run in windowed mode

[narrow gate]

They ditched CWT

[hoary hatch]

Get fucked lmao

[narrow gate]

There is no TT product in the CWT manufacturer anymore

[pure garnet]

or dual mode

[merry stirrup]

and ironically none of them are due to bad ocp actually

[vocal plume]

Or Revolution D.F

[narrow gate]

Look at full list

[hoary hatch]

11 pro and 25h2 as well, I just don't see copilot 🤷

[vocal plume]

I love how a bunch of their over 1kw units are f teir

[narrow gate]

Should be in still production in FSP manufacturer

[vocal plume]

Or well, 2

[steel stream]

it's just too easy

[vocal plume]

Destiny 2 🤮

[wise bear]

oh look its my art in the background

[narrow gate]

@wide grail please read notes also in our list:)

[steel stream]

yeah it's easier for screenshots instead of using just a pure black fill lol

[wise bear]

plus its pretty :D

[steel stream]

very

[merry stirrup]

i got this random thermaltake unit, its tier c but my sisters computer is less than 300w so its probably fine

[hoary hatch]

I want to play the final shape but I am 6 years out of date on destiny

[wide grail]

Thanks!

[merry stirrup]

i just want my schoolbus back man

[steel stream]

ill carry you through it bb girl

[hoary hatch]

I only have Forsaken gear

[steel stream]

sunsetting was sunset so it's ok to use that stuff again

[merry stirrup]

oh and fuck you all i finally got new key switches

[fringe vigil]

it’s you, and me, moving at the speed of light

[hoary hatch]

From the studio brave enough to kill cayde 6

[pure garnet]

is the bm3 different or did ltt blow this one up

[narrow gate]

which one

[merry stirrup]

i think ltt blew it up but ltt also blew up a bunch of other power supplies that are apparently actually good

[pure garnet]

https://youtu.be/-n8N62DeNDU?si=tVpJlEQr8d5ZSCW2

[merry stirrup]

no thats the bomb

any white unit from thermaltake isnt good the bm3 is meh

[narrow gate]

LTT does "bulletproof" protection testings which are unreal scenarios
Completely fine for consumers

[steel stream]

and bring him back!

[narrow gate]

I talked with Lucas(LTT LABS) about it

[merry stirrup]

considering they were able to make my otherwise tier B+ power supply blow up 3 times im gonna call it a skill issue on their part and move on

[nimble iris]

@hoary hatch how many atoms are in the universe

[merry stirrup]

the smart or bm3. cause i disagree that smart (white) is fine for even consumers

[narrow gate]

no, like for all psus

[hoary hatch]

We don't deserve cayde

[steel stream]

we don't

RIP my 🐐

[narrow gate]

smart is bomb indeed

[merry stirrup]

i thought you were saying the white was fine for consumers my bad

[hoary hatch]

I only recommend AX1600i

[narrow gate]

Nonooooo 🙂

[merry stirrup]

yeah a smart killed the best rx 570 sample ill ever own under 0 system load

[pure garnet]

see but why would i buy a unit that fails labs when most pass

[brisk jolt]

i just cleaned a fuckass 2023 ish system

[merry stirrup]

apparently my a1000G fails labs testing but i dont think to deep into it

[narrow gate]

it does pass aris testing

[narrow gate]

completely fine even lucas said that

[hoary hatch]

Time to die at work with one of the worst migraines I've ever had

[merry stirrup]

what im gathering from this is that if for some reason i overdraw on the 3.3v rail considerably, my psu will die

[narrow gate]

It does fail SCP -12V

[merry stirrup]

will i ever overdraw the 3.3 rail at all let alone enough to hit ocp? no

the A1000G?

[narrow gate]

Yes by aris testing also

[brisk jolt]

i might go down with the flu tmr ngl

[merry stirrup]

and this means what for me

legit question

do i consider buying another 1kw power supply reviewed better or should i not worry

[narrow gate]

noting

[merry stirrup]

because i am not worrying as of now

although i have had 2 black screens -> system restarts but i dont think that was psu related and more cpu stability related

cause ive been playing with new settings as of recent

[narrow gate]

Only matters if output rails are short circuited

dont think that is going to happen

maybe ill go out and buy an ax1600i eventually if i find one for cheap on the hwbot

[narrow gate]

wait for the refresh

[merry stirrup]

kind of dont want another schoolbus

[narrow gate]

The A1000G actually doesnt meet the 3.0 certification even

[merry stirrup]

i saw that they did plan, but my thinking is that i could get somones ex bench psu for cheap when they ditch it for a refresh

[merry stirrup]

meaning again?

[steel stream]

tylenol and liquor on the job 🙏

[hoary hatch]

I feel hungover and I didn't even drink

[shell void]

have i expressed how passionately i fucking hate fedex?

they left my iphone 17 pm and airpods pro 3 outside in the rain at the wrong house with no signature required

[narrow gate]

For you doesnt matter:)
power ok signal’s hold-up time is lower than 17ms
So it doesnt meet 3.0 requirements but does meet 3.1

[steel stream]

bro what

[merry stirrup]

cool again then

[hoary hatch]

My pixel 6 got stuck in Idaho for 2 weeks

[shell void]

easily the worst mail courier and i’m guessing businesses use them because they’re cheap

[wise bear]

nuh uh udaho

[steel stream]

I quite like FedEx in my area, but that's horrible

[merry stirrup]

UPS has been the best here

[hoary hatch]

Wait, as in it was signature required and they just didn't get one, or it was ordered no signature required

[brisk jolt]

i am stupid (i forgot to plug in the AIO pump) ugh

[hoary hatch]

I am stupid (I have no specific evidence, it's just a general factual statement)

[shell void]

it’s $1800 worth of stuff it was supposed to need a signature

[steel stream]

UPS is not great in my area

[shell void]

and they left it out in the rain at the wrong house

[hoary hatch]

But was it ordered with signature?

[steel stream]

neighbors house at least?

[merry stirrup]

simply go to their house, get your items, then claim it was delivered to the wrong house and get your money back

Why did he do that

[wise bear]

because he stupid

I clearly was curious about the truck given that I was looking up AP Firmware:

[merry stirrup]

looks a lot nicer irl but

[brisk jolt]

im messing with ya

[merry stirrup]

im just happy i dont see the yellow

[steel stream]

I am very curious about the return to aluminum with the phones

[merry stirrup]

honestly forgot that my board was yellow

[brisk jolt]

I might cover the top of my card with fans to hide the fact the mobo is black in a white case

[merry stirrup]

fair

the gpu blocks all the yellow on the board besides by the io

vgpu coming in clutch thanks kyoko for this case reco

[brisk jolt]

or should I stack the other GPU on top of the master, but the gpu’s also black so…..

[steel stream]

god I wish I had the balls to run my phone without a case

[arctic bronze]

Why

[merry stirrup]

just do a vrm+ ram fan

[brisk jolt]

I run mine without a screen protector and ive had 6 people say i have balls doing so

[arctic bronze]

Its dumb to run without one

[steel stream]

I like the stainless steel look

[merry stirrup]

leave the block visible and cool somewhat warm components

i prefer my phones without a case generally

[arctic bronze]

Yuck

[steel stream]

yeah I don't run screen protector

[merry stirrup]

who wants to gift floppa another lga 1700 board for xmas for his gf

[arctic bronze]

I wanna keep my stuff looking good so i run them both

[steel stream]

once I have 5nail level money ill do that

[pure garnet]

bro

[brisk jolt]

ill get you a aliexpress $20 lga 1700 board listing and give you whatever comes

[arctic bronze]

Your wallet does ☺️

[merry stirrup]

13900ks needs an home

[pure garnet]

i’m gonna club the floppa i had plenty of 1700 boards

[merry stirrup]

had

[hoary hatch]

Would tbh

[pure garnet]

still do

[merry stirrup]

if it doesn’t blow up the cpu it’s good enough

[hoary hatch]

You want my cracked (not the good kind of cracked) pro art?

[merry stirrup]

does it power on? better if it’s ddr4

[brisk jolt]

99% chance a bunch of rocks
0.99% a explosive/dead board
0.01% a functioning board

[pure garnet]

it’s ddr5 but if you pay for shipping you can have the z790 tomahawk

[merry stirrup]

that works

ill hit you up monday

[brisk jolt]

joybaiting

[pure garnet]

kk

[brisk jolt]

“ill give you a z790”

its ddr5

[merry stirrup]

she has a 64GB d4 kit

which would be awesome and easy to move over

but i mean board is board

[wise bear]

ur nan

[merry stirrup]

its not ht ebiggest issue but it would save me a couple hundred dollars

[hoary hatch]

Work aunt and uncle are fighting 😭

[hoary hatch]

Yes, no

[brisk jolt]

assuming you have no ram right now would you take the z790 ddr4 or 5

[shell void]

i was close to doing an orange pro but i’m glad i did silver pro max

[merry stirrup]

d5 pretty easily

but since she does have ram the want for a d4 board goes up

[pure garnet]

wait floppa https://www.newegg.com/asus-b760m-ayw-wifi-d4-ii-micro-atx-motherboard-intel-b760-lga-1700/p/N82E16813119744?item=N82E16813119744

[pure garnet]

[merry stirrup]

no usb-c, not atx

[hoary hatch]

How do you pronounce AYW

[steel stream]

yeah my silver 16p looks great, orange is just too flashy for a phone imo

[merry stirrup]

atx isnt a requirement but

[brisk jolt]

i was tempted to get a 17 pro till i looked at the prices

[merry stirrup]

i might just try to find a rando z690 d4 board on ebay

[brisk jolt]

and was like “nah im fine with replacing the battery”

[merry stirrup]

but a d5 tomahawk for shipping is somewhat tolerable

[pure garnet]

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BRQSWSFQ

atx, usb c

[merry stirrup]

no io shield but not bad

hmm okay yeah

ill wait till my unemployment comes in i think for a ddr4 board actually cause a 32GB kit is more money than its worth even if the board is free

then i can be done buying xmas gifts

if i had d5 laying around it'd be a no brainer but all i have is that one dead dimm

[brisk jolt]

having spare ddr5 laying feels like owning a weapon

[merry stirrup]

ig ill try to fix the spare dimm

[steel stream]

damn it's crazy that there are still only 3 iPhone pro colors

[merry stirrup]

all its missing is a cap so ill try to just slap one on from a diff dimm

[livid flame]

Or a gold bar

[brisk jolt]

bro i deadass looked across 4 sites at the 17 pro and all of them only had the piss orange colour

[brisk jolt]

https://tenor.com/view/hazard-trigger-kamen-rider-build-gif-gif-5584454470146412096

[steel stream]

Orange, Blue, or Silver

someone was on crack

[brisk jolt]

blue is still okay

[wise bear]

you know what I miss? lego spybotics

[brisk jolt]

but whoever added orange as an option with a total of 3 is a fuckin master ragebaiter

[steel stream]

blue is fine, silver is good, what happened to the black/midnight one

[steel stream]

it's for influencers, so you can immediately tell they have the latest phone

[pure garnet]

i wanted the blue one but i may just keep my 15pm

[brisk jolt]

I cleaned my guy’s AIO and in comparison to mine

thats fucking small

i have some gold-ish colour 14p

i didn't even bother to replace my fridge that died 2 years ago because i don't really need it

[pure garnet]

chicago

[vestal granite]

that sounds correct

[potent wing]

Yes it’s Chicago

[pure garnet]

detroit is where they steal the porch from your house

[vestal granite]

detroit is where they used to steal the porch from your house but now i dont think there are any porches left its like philadelphia

[steel stream]

[vestal granite]

yes i move once a year at this rate

[wise bear]

honestly I wouldn't mind doing that tbh

[steel stream]

damn

[wise bear]

just rotating states once a year

[vestal granite]

its fun and stressful and horrible and fun

[wise bear]

[steel stream]

why move so much?

[vestal granite]

my work evolves and over time i need to be in different places to make it continue evolving properly

[steel stream]

interesting

[vestal granite]

this past year i took to spend time living near me grandmother since she had moved from NY to FL and didn't know where anything was and the family she had down here were being shitheads to her

[steel stream]

ah ok nice

[vestal granite]

and it helped a bit since rent here is very very cheap at the cost of it being somehow a swamp and a desert at the same time in this part of florida

so now that she's figured out where stuff is in her neighborhood im moving to jersey city to resume my own stuff (jersey city because cheap, walkable, and closer to manhattan than brooklyn is)

[steel stream]

fair enough, it's nice that you did that

the dual bllc rumor comes from Kopite7Kimi which has been credible with Nvidia leaks, but i’m skeptical of any Intel rumors that don’t come from Jaykihn

[turbid locust]

🅱️ ova Lake

[low vector]

should i trade my 5060ti 8gb for a rtx 3060 12gb

[shell void]

oh speaking of Jaykihn he said don’t expect support for 12p BTL on B760/Z790

[steel stream]

no

[vocal plume]

[shell void]

probably only H610, Q670, and W680

[turbid locust]

yep

more vram = more better

you NEED 12GB for 1080p

[shell void]

lol no bro

5060Ti is substantially more powerful

[low vector]

even with the 8gb ram?

[shell void]

~1.66x

[edgy laurel]

thats a confusing swap

[brisk jolt]

5060ti is like 60% better

minus the vram bs

[shell void]

you’d have brain worms if you made that trade

just turn some settings down or use DLSS in the short list of games that choke on 8GB

[low vector]

do you think it’d run fine on stuff like warzone/cod

[fickle river]

its enough

[edgy laurel]

its a 5060Ti, it plays games

Intel dual cache before AMD 🙏

scamsung strikes again

[merry stirrup]

dlss uses vram brother

[steel stream]

not surprised

Found out I can get a S95F for $1500 though

[edgy laurel]

frame gen uses a chunk

[merry stirrup]

my homies 3050ti laptop and stalker 2 show this excellently

with dlss on the game goes to a crawl at 9 fps

with it off it works fine at like 50fps

[edgy laurel]

dlss you'll end up using less, though not as much as you'd expect

[merry stirrup]

idk situation above shows otherwise

just delt with it yesterday

[edgy laurel]

with nearly 300 hours in S2, thats just a game issue.

its just jank

[merry stirrup]

that the game only goes to 10 fps whenever the frame buffer is full?

[edgy laurel]

but FG is where you see the VRAM increase, nearly 2GB sometimes

[low vector]

should i sell the 5060ti 8gb and get a rx 9060 xt 16gb

[edgy laurel]

are you just going to keep listing other cards

[low vector]

pretty much i don’t like the fact it’s 8gb

[edgy laurel]

do you actually have a problem or are you succumbing to fear mongering on the internet

[low vector]

and i need opinions

[merry stirrup]

have you had a computer before

[steel stream]

you play at 1080p bro

[merry stirrup]

bro my mom has 8gb and she’s playing 4k 💀😭

[edgy laurel]

^^

[low vector]

i have i just overthink

[shell void]

as opposed to what? surely 720p -> 1440p DLSS uses less vram than 1440p DLAA

[low vector]

and need multiple opinions

[shell void]

using vanilla TAA isn’t an option because it’s smeary as shit

[merry stirrup]

stalker 2 situation described above, guilty says it’s just game but i don’t think so

[low vector]

i don’t

[edgy laurel]

there was a known issue that many of us had at launch where turning on FG would tank framerate to single digits

but thats long gone

[merry stirrup]

that’s not dlss either

[shell void]

.

[merry stirrup]

brother playing at 10fps isn’t an option either get real

[edgy laurel]

i'm telling you dude i've not ever seen DLSS use more VRAM, and I've been playing with it for 5 years

[shell void]

i just pretend UE5 TAA isn’t even an option, DLAA is the baseline

UE5 TAA games are unplayable without FSR4 or DLSS4

[merry stirrup]

making me go test this

[edgy laurel]

I watch VRAM all the time. I see it go up slightly when turning off DLSS

[merry stirrup]

so my situation is not real

[livid flame]

DLSS won’t make it go up. The additional settings it allows you to bump up, make the vram go up

[edgy laurel]

I just think Stalker 2 is about the worst example, the game is still a mess

coming from someone with 300 hours in it and in the middle of a playthrough right now

[shell void]

i can solve your ram problem if you slide me $750 for my 64GB kit of A-die sparky

[livid flame]

Remember games like to reserve more vram than they use too

Until you choke you don’t always know exactly how much is used

[edgy laurel]

everything sucks 😅

[edgy laurel]

allocated vs. in use is always a confusing topic

some software accounts for it, some doesn't

(monitoring software, that is)

[livid flame]

Like I can sit on desktop and have 1gb or 2gb beam “in use”. I know windows ain’t using that

[shell void]

i think windows actually uses like 500MB of system memory at “idle”

it’ll just preallocate more and more if you have more

[edgy laurel]

man, i wanted new RAM and then setup a KVM for @merry stirrup to remote in and tune. Dreams dashed!

[shell void]

hey good news bro i know exactly what timings you can use on this kit of memory

[steel stream]

Floppa just fell to his knees in agony

[shell void]

i’ll even pair it with the 9800x3d as a pre tuned package

[edgy laurel]

there ain't no way i'm paying $700+ for 64GB of RAM, not a chance. On the flip side, someone probably will so you should make bank while you can

[merry stirrup]

well i went into a pve practice raid to test and instead of testing i am in slow motion

[shell void]

hear me out $1000 for the pair

[merry stirrup]

my game is like 3 ticks per second this is strange

[edgy laurel]

stop it

[pure garnet]

1200 for the tomahawk

[shell void]

pre tuned golden sample 9800x3d and 64gb a die kit 🔥

[shell void]

i can’t lie i’m happy with the tomahawk

i wish it wasn’t fugly but it just works

one of these days i’ll tape over the green accents and it’ll be okay

i thought the 8500G wasnt great even compared to other apus

anything over 10k requires black magic apparently but

[turbid locust]

8500G and 8700G are the same

the other SKUs are Phoenix 1

ah

really using the power of a 9800x3d/5070ti today (capped to 30fps)

dual channel, right? I seem to recall records like that being done with a single DIMM

[topaz veldt]

singel dimm

[edgy laurel]

ahh

[turbid locust]

Yeah single channel for the funny, people have done just over 11k

Apparently 10K dual channel is doable though

on Phoenix 2

[indigo walrus]

Wut. I expect the bookstore to be making dough within the hour. Get on it hop to it.

You can get some funny benchmark results with 10k dual channel 3Ghz FCLK

this shit is so annoying for desktop use

[topaz veldt]

why

[low sorrel]

considering on this shitty ass monitor

[edgy laurel]

what monitor?

[low sorrel]

the OSD sucks so much ass that switching local dimming off and HDR off takes like a full minute

[edgy laurel]

bad FALD can be distracting

[low sorrel]

oh it looks great in games and shit

but desktop use is annoying

[topaz veldt]

FALD?

[edgy laurel]

full array local dimming

[topaz veldt]

Fald is the new bald?

[edgy laurel]

as opposed to edge lit

[topaz veldt]

fald is full bald?

[edgy laurel]

yeah

i dunno what my g9 neo has but it looks nice still

[low sorrel]

Xv275k p3

[shell void]

twin i cannot lie i did tell you this

the way samsung gets around it is by just not really locally dimming much at all on the desktop when set to auto in SDR

miniled monitors are bait

[low sorrel]

Ok but does your OLED do this

[shell void]

you could’ve bought a lamp and stared into the bulb instead

[edgy laurel]

was that thing cheaper than Q27G3XMN?

oh, its 4K isn't it

thats what you wanted, i remember now

[steel stream]

Is there any other setting?

[low sorrel]

I want a mini led tv

What do the expensive ones go to now?

[steel stream]

for us poor 5070 Ti players we have to set it to low

[low sorrel]

3000 nits or something

[low sorrel]

I have it off and dlss performance

[topaz veldt]

I was playing it over lunch on my budget build

[steel stream]

Hisense U8QG

[edgy laurel]

nope. just baby sized monitor and prefer other things over the benefits

[warm urchin]

27” is the biggest computer monitor I’ll accept tbh

MacOS has spoiled me with high dpi modes

[low sorrel]

Dlss performance and transformer mode look nice at 4k ngl

[shell void]

i don’t disagree, i wasn’t talking about you

i’m talking about the people who say that 2160p is a waste on 27” because it’s not really visibly better than 1440p

[steel stream]

DLSS is our savior

[shell void]

they’re just blind or coping

[edgy laurel]

well that I agree with. if you're blind to PPI benefits then there is no saving you

[shell void]

it’s hard to enjoy single player games on smaller monitors after dailying 42” for a while

[warm urchin]

1440p just sort of looks like ass in windows

[topaz veldt]

I think anyone claiming to not notice PPI is lying

[low sorrel]

I can notice the difference between my new ips and my old one in response times

My old one was something stupid like 4ms gtg

[frank zealot]

120mm fan mount for 3x 3.5" HDDs

neat!

[steel stream]

i do miss the ppi of my 27" 4k

[frank zealot]

I just bought a 27" 5K for someone at work

[low sorrel]

Artist?

[frank zealot]

book proofing, so sort of?

[warm urchin]

This is the ideal monitor

[shell void]

samsung could mass produce 42” 8K QD-OLED panels if they wanted to 🥀

that would be so glorious

[steel stream]

we don't deserve nice things

[topaz veldt]

my sister had that mac 27" 5K

[low sorrel]

I'm back on chrome because apparently Firefox doesn't support HDR

[edgy laurel]

acceptable use of scaling. i'm in

[topaz veldt]

I want 32" 5K

[low sorrel]

I want 5" 5k

[shell void]

same brother snail

[potent wing]

i want shoe

[edgy laurel]

wow, just looked that up and you're right. thats appalling

[low sorrel]

What's the PPI on thwt

[low sorrel]

They've supported it on mac for like 2 maybe 3 years now

[shell void]

the average firefox user is an angsty teenager with an ips monitor so it’s not high priority

[low sorrel]

So it clearly can be done

[edgy laurel]

to be fair, Mac OS has had great HDR support for ages

Apple has that figured out

[potent wing]

im 20 actually

[edgy laurel]

but they also control the whole ecosystem, which is the same argument for why anything they do they do well

[low sorrel]

Hey even ram prices these days

[edgy laurel]

random but @turbid locust Sleep Token's "Rain" was used in the trailer for the Game Awards, I just realized. https://youtu.be/7RpWks5qh_4?si=E91Ts2YYtXuMdJRx

whoever did that whole edit did a good job

[turbid locust]

hey, fuck you?

[topaz veldt]

I just plugged in my USB SSD from my car into my PC like 8 times wondering why it wasn't showing up only to realize I am not on that PC

[shell void]

[turbid locust]

browser is browser nowadays really

[edgy laurel]

this is a reoccurring problem lol

[shell void]

my king display guy doesn’t miss

[topaz veldt]

there is only one solution

[shell void]

glossy oled is bare minimum fr

[low sorrel]

it'll be a hot minute

[topaz veldt]

sigh

[wraith steeple]

Jayz..... You gotta stop doing this, man

He's platform hopping like how folks distro hop

[topaz veldt]

All you 8bit text people look the same now

[steel stream]

omg i love 2017

[vestal granite]

i like my font

does that cool pop-out thing sometimes

[low sorrel]

Y'all look normal to me ngl

[vestal granite]

mobile doesnt have it because phones are evil

i think anyone using discord on mobile should be punished with unskippable video ads everytime they click on a channel

[potent wing]

uh people message people on the go sometimes

[vestal granite]

thats fine they are allowed to do that

its just they'll get an unskippable video ad everytime they click on a channel

[wise bear]

[wise bear]

Genuinely thank you 💕

I really wasn't expecting any of yall to get me something in return

[low sorrel]

Peyton have you watched hypops

[zenith granite]

can someone help me if this psu enough for r5 5600x and rtx 3080?

39” 5120x2160p and 27” 3840x2160p 4th gen w-oled confirmed

[steel stream]

w-oled LES FUCKJING GO

[edgy laurel]

that first one is beautiful

[potent wing]

We assigning random numbers to oled now

[steel stream]

unless those are tandem oled then they are cool

[potent wing]

Can’t wait for Y-oled

[steel stream]

since when is Y a number

[shell void]

same panel tech as the LG G5

“primary rgb tandem w-oled”

[steel stream]

I have revised my original statement

[edgy laurel]

I've linked to a beginner level video and just the OLED section just for you. https://youtu.be/1gcLrfx5XMs?t=629

[steel stream]

he needs the alphabet song and an intro to numbers

this is far too advanced

[edgy laurel]

probably right

[potent wing]

I prefer the oWoled

[shell void]

if it’s 240Hz and glossy then i might be interested i cannot lie

but what i wanted was 32” 4K

27” is baby size

[young void]

Lamee

[edgy laurel]

i'm assuming that image is just showing off the panel, and not a productized monitor

as it would need to be at least a little curved

flat 21:9 is no fun

[shell void]

it is curved, but not tightly

not 800R like their past ultrawides

[edgy laurel]

thats ok. my PG348Q is similarly curved

[potent wing]

the urge to buy now pay later for a oled monitor

[edgy laurel]

3800R

Credit card debt is temporary

everyone needs glossy 4k oled

[potent wing]

tbf I’ll wait for gpu prices to shoot up so I can sell my 4080 for one

[steel stream]

do we have refresh rate yet or nah]

[shell void]

nop

thankfully CES is only 17 days away

we’ll get all that info there

[steel stream]

🙏

[potent wing]

Ram section of CES is about to have a PMC for security

[brave panther]

not glossy

[shell void]

yes

[pallid marsh]

Yup same one xD

It is superior Russian logistics vs Ukraine tank brigade, we lost less tickets in vehicles by 1 whole ticket like 96 vs 95

Tsk tsk UA armor threw that matchup

turn on night sky contrast theme

[steel stream]

fuck that

[brave panther]

i am a madman who uses teams in high contrast mode
"its so ugly, i love it"

[edgy laurel]

I never can get used to pure black / "OLED" interfaces

even using an OLED

[strange ginkgo]

i like true black in UI's but still this seems horrible for some reason

[edgy laurel]

that amount of contrast between elements is too jarring to me personally

[wraith steeple]

You would love the "Hotdog Stand" Theme on Windows 3.X

[edgy laurel]

oh god, i hate it

[strange ginkgo]

i hate copilot too

[wraith steeple]

[brave panther]

one of the apps with low corporate data on screen

[steel stream]

I use a few pure black interfaces, it doesn't bother me too much

[brave panther]

too low contrast

[pure garnet]

i use it on discord mobile

[steel stream]

ignore the shitty notes, but this is how I take notes on my laptop

[pure garnet]

not even even so much for battery savings but most don’t recognize it

[strange ginkgo]

i just want the good UI and icons fromt he 2010's back

[brave panther]

good stuff, like it

[edgy laurel]

good for battery life, if anything

[shell void]

always on display annoys me

i immediately turned it off on my new phone

[topaz veldt]

damn i just dodged a shootout with a high level dude

[strange ginkgo]

my browser (minus the bookmarks)

[topaz veldt]

I came out of spawn in Space Port and crossed paths with a dude, said don't shoot, dude shoots, I end up taking him out... but another guy witnessed and assumed I was the aggressor. So i have to long distance engage that guy - and then a 3rd dude comes in. We both take out 2nd dude, now its me and 3rd dude, and I am like bro bro bro I am not the bad guy

[merry stirrup]

so i fixed the ocfs throttling issue through massive amounts of fafo

[brave panther]

this week i have compleatly changed my work laptop UI look
i put browser tabs to the left
i put custom theme on it

[merry stirrup]

turns out they have a setting in the bios i presume to fix it without saying anything

theres a power reporting setting with "auto" and 0.1% as the only options

i set it to .1% which it now thinks the cpu is drawing 13w under load

and my eclocks are staying as what i set

[steel stream]

yeah i've never used it

[merry stirrup]

13w in yc what do you know about it

[steel stream]

much needed on my laptop

43% of original capacity remaining

[merry stirrup]

look at those perfect eclocks though staying to exactly what i set

[steel stream]

and at 13 watts too? That's insane

Floppa efficiency master /s

[wraith steeple]

I like the Viewsonic birds

[topaz veldt]

what the prob is

[merry stirrup]

some pl4 issue relating to bios thaty they bandaided

[pallid marsh]

We had so many kornets since we got 2 per radio xD and so much ammo mortars were shooting at bmps

[merry stirrup]

it likes to throw the core freqs all around under a real load, like your power limit doesnt actually set

itll EDP limit/pl4 limit throttle after 255w like your power limits dont apply

[low sorrel]

tsk tsk average potato fields player doesn't know how to deal with atgms\

[merry stirrup]

i think this is a successful but strange fix

[steel stream]

do you just constantly report like 13 watts now

[merry stirrup]

it idles at like 3w or something

[pallid marsh]

Their commander also wasted a 2 bomb airstrike on a radio we just placed killing zero people and we just dug it down after. They truly threw the match
