[narrow gate]

Did kill 6 guys
3 in a row

[livid flame]

Such a beautiful image followed up with perfect context

[edgy laurel]

Damn. Things can never be simple

[dapper junco]

At this point I'm suspecting every tweaks I've made and considering reinstalling when possible

[whole lake]

Chat do I click ts?

[edgy laurel]

I think you're probably at that point

[edgy laurel]

If you have no idea what that means, no

[whole lake]

Alright 👍 ||distro is Fedora KDE btw||

[edgy laurel]

If you do know what it means, you should have to ask others if its necessary

[tranquil finch]

Why do i have 100% cpu usage with amd overlay, but msi afterburner shows 60-70% cpu usage?

[livid flame]

One has direct kernel access and one has low level kernel access.

So that’s the reason it’s different

Afterburner is not accurate. It hasn’t ever been, but it’s good and useful for what it is

[tranquil finch]

So which Is correct?

[livid flame]

Adrenaline is more correct

Still not perfect

Nice 22c delta, what graphics card?

[tranquil finch]

Rx 7800xt sapphire pulse

But adrenalin shows cpu 100% and afterburner 70% i have r5 7600

Pc performs well, but i worry about the cpu usage

[livid flame]

Yeah I like to keep my delta 18-20c. If I set no fan curve hits like 25

CPU usage is fine. It is there to be used

[tranquil finch]

But not 100%

Thats to much

Adrenalin shows 100%

Afterburner shows 70%

Cpu usage

[tranquil finch]

I think adrenalin is reading diffrent metric

[dapper junco]

or adrenalin polling rate is too slow

if my current config is the stock one, then its sample rate is 2 second per sample

[livid flame]

Adrenaline has the ability to be more accurate than afterburner

[livid flame]

Nope. Your average and hotspot difference is your delta

[tranquil finch]

i mean cpu usage

[edgy laurel]

I think you need to turn off all the unnecessary monitoring software and focus on the game

[tranquil finch]

thats true, is expedition 33 good? or its just overrated?

[edgy laurel]

never played it, but game of the year with that much praise can't be bad

[shell void]

LG C6 is 165Hz

[toxic grotto]

Overwatch got goty one year

[edgy laurel]

ok?

[toxic grotto]

goty doesnt always mean its a great game

[tranquil finch]

thats the problem

[edgy laurel]

no one said it did

[toxic grotto]

kinda of implied it

you said thing, i said counterpoint

[tranquil finch]

it won 9 awards at TGA, so it will be great game, sure ?

[edgy laurel]

This isn't a difficult concept. Golum didn't win GoTY becuase it was terrible. The games that did had overwhelming positivity.

[toxic grotto]

for E33 id bet on it being a pretty good game

[edgy laurel]

If YOU enjoy the game has no bearing on anything.

[tranquil finch]

KCD2 just should won best RPG.

[edgy laurel]

So asking others is essentially pointless. Just look at the steam rating, the reviews, the videos and decide on your own if its somethin that interests you.

[edgy laurel]

Because in your opinion thats what you wanted. Others felt differently.

In this case, there were more of them.

[tranquil finch]

more bots do you mean? 🤣

[edgy laurel]

How old are you

[brisk jolt]

how generous of expeditione 33 to give away player’s voice and best audio

[toxic grotto]

i mean, not in particular, the voting jury has 90% of the sway

[brisk jolt]

you can just say KCD2 was just caught in the E33 landslide

[tranquil finch]

16, i understand it, i am just making jokes about it.

[toxic grotto]

silksong not getting best soundtrack does hurt a bit tho

[brisk jolt]

nah

[tranquil finch]

and kcd 2 not even nominated, but i accept that Expedition won it, the soundtrack is really good

[brisk jolt]

expedition 33 soundtrack is genuinely so lit

[toxic grotto]

its just french

[brisk jolt]

and when you translate the lyrics it makes hella sense

[brisk jolt]

sybau

[toxic grotto]

its just boring french music

[tranquil finch]

yeah

[edgy laurel]

amazing. differing opinions. what a concept

Play what you want

[brisk jolt]

une vie a tamer is hella lit
And when you enter act 2 they play world map- dechire la tolle which is matching for what just happened and translating lyrics you go “dude, wtf”

[toxic grotto]

no ones saying the opposite, were just saying the game awards isnt always right

[brisk jolt]

the game awards cannot satisfy everybody

[edgy laurel]

Right according to who? You're still missing the point. It was right to some people

[toxic grotto]

it was right according to the "influencer brands and media companies" that make up the 90% jury

[brisk jolt]

different people have different opinions its just yours to judge whether you like the game or not

[edgy laurel]

But moreso, whoever wins, who gives a shit. You can still play whatever you want

[edgy laurel]

So every single player disagreed with every single choice.

Ok.

[brisk jolt]

100% of the friends I have who tried E33 and made it past Act 1 were like absolute cinema

[toxic grotto]

not what ive said at all, but sure, definitely make a bad faith argument if youd like

[edgy laurel]

You're making a rediculous argument simply because you didn't agree with one or more choice. Others did. Thats really all there is to it.

[brisk jolt]

arc raiders didnt get nominated oh no…..!!!! I dont doubt its a good game but multiplayer games have the inherent disadvantage. Sure you could argue OW but when was the last time a MP game won? Theres hella factors to account for

[toxic grotto]

what ive said so far 1) goty isnt always a sign of a great game, 2) the voting is not done by gamers its done by a small subsect of companies who hold 90% of the vote. idk what issue you have with either of these points, as they are both simply facts

[edgy laurel]

Not every person on the planet is going to get their favorite in every category to win. Thats simply not possible.

[tranquil finch]

this is my wishlist top 6 on steam now.

[brisk jolt]

when it comes to GOTY regardless of how you split the voting % theres going to be bias some form or another

[edgy laurel]

1. It certainly is to the people that think so.
2. The results of these category wins certainly have hundreds of thousands of players that agree so who cares

[brisk jolt]

you literally cant satisfy everybody

[dapper junco]

I feel like it's just the award paradox
I can see the same similarity between TGA and other established awards for other mediums

[edgy laurel]

Every single "GOTY" winner is certainly going to have thousands and thousands of fans that agree. Wouldn't even be in the running if there wasn't.

[brisk jolt]

I love expedition 33’s turn based system because imo it is something that they took and revolutionised

like they pushed it to the limit

[edgy laurel]

Needless to say, having never played it, a few people liked E33

[dapper junco]

Also, about the Overwatch GOTY award, that was back in 2016 when Overwatch was indeed loved by lots of fans

[edgy laurel]

Yeah that doesn't surprise me at all. Hell I was playing it back then and loving it.

[dapper junco]

Like I bet you can apply the same argument to the Oscars' Best Picture, or the Grammys' X of the Year

[brisk jolt]

@edgy laurel i got the hs420 this morning and unfortunately im unable to fully build for like the next 3 days lmfao

[edgy laurel]

well its pretty enough to just look at

[brisk jolt]

i could prob start with the fans

and unboxing

[livid flame]

Silksong* won awards didn’t it?

Nothing special to me. Old concepts. Old art styles. But yknow, I don’t go bitching off to anyone it shouldn’t win awards.

[dapper junco]

it won the best action/adventure category

[topaz veldt]

Had a funny story at work about this

[brisk jolt]

SS definitely deserves best action and adventure imho

[livid flame]

I remember FF7 won all the acclaim when it was released

Probably one of the worst games I’ve ever played tbfh

But it’s just not for me that’s all

[brisk jolt]

I’d like to hear it

[livid flame]

Same games I’d rave about, others will be like “meh”. Games are subjective tbfh

Actually hella subjective due to play styles and goals

[dapper junco]

JRPG as a whole I feel like is still a picky category

[topaz veldt]

@edgy laurel @brisk jolt This dude from another dept comes up to me, my buddy and I were talking Arc Raiders. He's like "oh do you play Expedition 33?" Both me and my buddy are more fps/division/arc raiders types. Definitely not turn based/anime/etc. This dude is full in on anime and such which is fine, but its not our deal. But this dude is .... awkward... hes like "so you don't play it?" "Nah I played for like 2 hours or so but its not really my thing." "But it won GOTY for like....a lot". "Ok yeah but like, not my game." "It won for sound track.... visuals...."

Its like the dude could not believe that we don't like it - it's GOTY for shit, we MUST like it.

He left it with "Maybe you should try it again" - lol. I was like "Yeah, maybe. So anyway, back to work buds."

[brisk jolt]

He’s the type to force their opinion on ya lmfao

[dapper junco]

Feels like me when talking pc build lol

[livid flame]

I think I saw an advert saying the new donkey kong game was award winning. All I thought was who the fuck gave an award to a game that would have been fresh in 2001

[brisk jolt]

i honestly dont know anyone who played the DK game other than the game devs and game testers

[edgy laurel]

I think a game can be great and I still not enjoy it. That guy doesn't understand the concept. Greatness doesn't gave to be universal.

[topaz veldt]

He's an odd duck - he like tries to up 1-up but its very disproportionate which is always weird, but then also like... if something is reviewed well and you don't like it then you haven't experienced it correctly

[brisk jolt]

All I was hearing was E33, Arc raiders, KCD2, SS and other few i cant list on the top of my head rn

[livid flame]

Sounds like my father in law that thinks anyone who plays on pc feels superior

[brisk jolt]

Ive never heard of it till GOTY when a friend told me

[livid flame]

I let him keep believing that with his aim assist

[dapper junco]

KCD 2 and Hades II
basically the GOTY nominees

[livid flame]

Arc raiders is probably play if I had time to have friends to play it with

[topaz veldt]

Arc Raiders is fun solos also

[livid flame]

As I’d have to solo it atm I’d probably not enjoy it

[brisk jolt]

i dont got anyone who got arc raiders tbh, i did hear its good but since mp and nobody to play with i didnt get

[topaz veldt]

I can't get my COD/Warzone buddy to play it, but a lot of people like it - I was apprehensive at first I don't like looting/inventory mgmt shit

[dapper junco]

I guess arc raider is in the same category as tarkov?

[livid flame]

I average about 10-12 hours of gaming a month tbfh. Hoping next year the kids allow more as they’re getting older

[toxic grotto]

extraction shooters are suprisingly popular, and i heard its an extraction shooter with a lot more quality of life than others

[topaz veldt]

tangentially - its tarkov if you aren't OCD

[brisk jolt]

the last i played was HD2

[topaz veldt]

Also the visuals and sound in Arc Raiders is unparalleled imho

[livid flame]

Isn’t Tarkov fps?

[topaz veldt]

Yeah but that doesn't matter much

[dapper junco]

so no stash tetris and stuff like that I guess?

[topaz veldt]

Only mild - like it just has to fit in your slots

[whole lake]

@topaz veldt so uh I wiped out all other distro partitions. Resized my Windows partition back to normal. Made a fresh 150gb partition and decided to stick with this distro forever 👇

[livid flame]

Naw gameplay between 3rd and 1st person varies wildly

[topaz veldt]

You don' tneed to bag bags with bags sideways

[toxic grotto]

the visuals are pretty cool, i like the design of the PVE robots and enemies, i just wish it was a singleplayer game and not an extraction shooter :P

[topaz veldt]

Its what I use for work

[whole lake]

The KDE one or workstation one?

[topaz veldt]

Yeah it would be cool with a campaign - the ARC ai is amazing

[toxic grotto]

so ive heard

[topaz veldt]

I run gnome

[whole lake]

Oh I see

[livid flame]

Arc does look like my sort of game, just haven’t the time which is a shame

[topaz veldt]

I usually play between the hours of 2AM and 6AM

and like 4PM - 515PM

[livid flame]

So when people online are mega shit

[topaz veldt]

It puts me in the EU

[livid flame]

Dayumn unlucky

[topaz veldt]

Well its when players are playing over there

[livid flame]

I heard the desync is wild enough without that region change on top

[topaz veldt]

I have had no issues

[narrow gate]

U dont sleep?

[topaz veldt]

Not very well no

[narrow gate]

Like Batman

[topaz veldt]

sorta

[livid flame]

I remember when pubg auto region changed in the early days

[brisk jolt]

He has the gamer dad energy now ig

[topaz veldt]

I got some shit going on that's been stressing me

and then my kids sleep poorly, etc., its just a big mess

[livid flame]

I got 3 kids 5 and under. I know this

It’s rare I get up after 3am these days and don’t sleep until like 1030/11 at earliest

[topaz veldt]

I have the ordinary young kid sleep issues, but then also my mom is in her final days in hospice

[livid flame]

Sorry to hear snail

[topaz veldt]

Thanks, its been kind of crazy

We were told she doesn't have long last Saturday, unresponsive, etc., but like doctors/nurses thought a day or two

and now its 8 days....and close to the holidays... we're trying to do holiday stuff but also like... not trying to celebrate overtly, being prepared for the call... its quite challenging

[livid flame]

It’s not a nice situation to be in. She sounds like a strong old girl, refuses to give up.

[topaz veldt]

Yeah shes a tough old bird

Not even that old unfortunately, but she's a tough one

but yeah we're like... 12-20 now, we have/had plans with family and friends to do shit and now we're not sure what the right thing is, etc.

[livid flame]

I’ve had relatives go from old age and from cancer. There’s no benefit for them, only for you when it’s that time in my experience

[topaz veldt]

Yeah this is rapid decline due to cancer

[livid flame]

It’s horrible that.

[topaz veldt]

yep

[livid flame]

Thoughts with you and the family

[topaz veldt]

Thanks dude

[topaz veldt]

Rocket League has really good sound on surround setup

[zenith apex]

finally, my first investment that is actually appreciating

[topaz veldt]

😬

[floral spear]

I was looking thru someone's certain photos

This guy has a weird monitor setup

6 Multi Monitor Setup

3 stacked side by side

[livid flame]

How much did it cost ya

[zenith apex]

110 bucks

[livid flame]

Noice

[edgy laurel]

@turbid locust @pure garnet if I play Stalker 2 w/ mods with Chrome fully killed i'm ok

just going to have to be ok since i'm not buying RAM anytime soon!

[brisk jolt]

I might display a 32gb kit, a 5070ti and a 2tb 990 pro in my case just for lols

[pure garnet]

not even close

@merry stirrup @turbid locust the ez dashboard for the b850 and z790 mpowers are also the same part/revision of the pcb

[merry stirrup]

yez

literally the same

[pure garnet]

well either way i’m using the new doohickey

i swapped out which pcb was in the case you printed

[tepid mason]

What are some good cases that can fit a noctua nhd15 chromax

[edgy laurel]

list is so long you're just going to get people's favorites, unless thats what you're after

[tepid mason]

Yes

[pure garnet]

hyte y40 with no gpu installed

[tepid mason]

Vertical gpu

?

[edgy laurel]

Fractal Torrent, Fractal Meshify 3 Ambiance Pro and 3 XL, HAVN BF360, Asus ProArt PA602, Lian Li Lancool III, Lian Li Lancool 217

@tepid mason

[pure garnet]

won’t clear

no gpu :)

[edgy laurel]

https://youtu.be/2gCFdN7J4sk

I think today i'd have to go Meshify 3 XL. Its just so good.

[tepid mason]

It would also be nice if the glass didn’t have dark tint

[edgy laurel]

are you just waitin for us to do all the searching for you?

[tepid mason]

Im looking lol

[edgy laurel]

you can look through "best of" lists and videos on your own too, or just sort PCPP with your requirements

[tepid mason]

I saw this one it looks quite nice

But there are probably better options for the price

[edgy laurel]

if there is a budget, that matters a lot

[tepid mason]

Id say max 150

[edgy laurel]

150 what

[tepid mason]

€

[edgy laurel]

country?

[tepid mason]

Austria

[edgy laurel]

ATX or MATX board?

[tepid mason]

Atx

[proven saddle]

Atx is second goand

[edgy laurel]

https://at.pcpartpicker.com/products/case/#X=0,15153&m=52,8,337,11,225,106,893,62,229&t=4,3&sort=-price&page=1

[pure garnet]

b850 mpower is built a lot nicer than z790 mpower

[edgy laurel]

Meshify 3 RGB fits in budget, my first pick

really just going to come down to picking what you prefer from that list, looks wise

[proven saddle]

In that case

You want big case

[steel stream]

damn

that's a nice case

[edgy laurel]

ya he did a good job

Fractal Meshify 3 XL Ambience Pro
Astral 5090
i9-14900K
32GB 7200 Corsair Dominator Titanium (+ 2 dummy sticks)
Lian Li 8.8” Screen
NZXT N7 Z790
NZXT C1200 PSU
Arctic LF3 AIO

[steel stream]

idk what that mirror looking thing is but it looks sweet

[edgy laurel]

a screen

https://lian-li.com/product/8-8inch-universal-screen/

[steel stream]

oh yeah that makes sense

[edgy laurel]

neat mount it comes with

and its USB powered, no faffing about with a "display" out and having a weird monitor

[steel stream]

500 nits peak brightness pshhhhh

[steel stream]

yeah that's nice

[shell void]

"OLED displays tend to last the longest, and have the fewest issues out of any display technology"

OLED fearmongers on Reddit will be in shambles

[edgy laurel]

💪

[shell void]

people accept LCD displays having obvious flaws when theyre fresh out of the box, but they have an aneurysm if an OLED is less than perfect after five years

it's so silly

[edgy laurel]

this should be interesting https://youtu.be/9n1iRDnD3HM?si=uZHaZBC07xSUxFii

sinking down to running sodimm adapters

[near jungle]

what thermal pads are better?

arctic tp3 100x100 (x0.5mm and x1mm) for ~15euro
or aairhut 100x100 (x0.5, 1, 1.5, 2mm 4pack) for ~20 euro
or gelid gp-ultimate 2pcs 120x20x0.5mm and 2pcs 120x20x1mm for ~26euro?

for gpu (lenovo rtx 3070, which is currently hitting thermal limits on vram/vrms), according to reddit my gpu needs 0.5 and 1mm pads. Do i have enough if i buy 1 of the above?

also is arctic mx-6 good paste for gpu?

[pure garnet]

@shell void jedec on the 1dpc 🔥

[shell void]

incredibly optimal

[edgy laurel]

if you need 0.5 and 1mm pads, buy 0.5 and 1mm pads. if you're doing a GPU, a PTM sheet is probably "best"

but any decent paste like mx6 is also fine

[pure garnet]

the motherboards internal clock was only 5 days off surprisingly from factory

time to bios update and then 8000 it is

[brave panther]

someone should create camm to dimm

[near jungle]

so any of those are good for gpu so just get the arctics as they are cheapest and give plenty of material?

[turbid reef]

when i put something in the desktop is that ssd or hdd

[edgy laurel]

oh boy

[brave panther]

lol

[edgy laurel]

your desktop is on your boot drive by default.. so whatever your boot drive is

(we're in a timeline in which people don't understand drive/folder structure i'm losing my mind)

[pure garnet]

guilty guess what

i have yet another yellow bios

[edgy laurel]

because of course you do

[pure garnet]

i cannot avoid it

[edgy laurel]

wtf thats actually a thing, wouldn't have guessed

[brave panther]

from dell, not someone random

[edgy laurel]

i suppose that make sense, given they're one of the only OE's shipping CAMM products

[pure garnet]

@shell void this board defaults to 60% static case fans, is that based or cringe

[turbid reef]

oh alright thanks

[edgy laurel]

I highly suggest you open Explorer on your PC, click "This PC" on the left and start clicking through your drives

[wise bear]

NUH UH every folder is a different hard drive

[edgy laurel]

get comfortable with some of the basics of folder structers

[turbid reef]

im just trying to free up space on my ssd by moving this to my hdd

[wise bear]

not atm tbh

[digital plume]

who needs wallpapers

[low sorrel]

this mini led monitor burns my eyeballs

[fervent chasm]

This is me sadly

I only do black background, sometimes I choose the red accents for the UI

[spiral quarry]

lol how bright is it.

[low sorrel]

1k nits 100% windows and 1700 in a 50%

[low sorrel]

it's also that my room has black out curtains

[steel stream]

just do the pure black

[narrow gate]

[pure garnet]

try using a brightness that isn’t 100%

[vestal granite]

try closing your eyes

[proven saddle]

If sleepy then yes

[low sorrel]

there is no brightness setting if i enable hdr

[pure garnet]

lame

and cs

[edgy laurel]

combination of changing to GPU scaling from display scaling and CRU will get it done

but we'll ban you

[potent wing]

that’s is literally the worst thing I’ve heard

[fringe vigil]

Yo

[low sorrel]

cru doesn't work for me

it sets it but it never shows up anywhere as an option

[edgy laurel]

cru works for everyone, theres just 6000 settings and you need a masters to figure it out

[heavy ore]

thats not even that bad i had errors at 24+ hrs (maybe try more vddp my 7950x needed 1.1+ for 8k)

[pure garnet]

i might try dropping my fclk back down for now just because i’m not entirely confident in that 2133 anymore

[edgy laurel]

also you can create custom resolutions inside the old Nvidia Control Panel

[fervent chasm]

i used to use that to OC my monitors

[fringe vigil]

[fervent chasm]

could get over 75Hz out of some of the 60Hz ones

[low sorrel]

Grayed out

[edgy laurel]

you click create custom and type it in

[fervent chasm]

its kinda iffy, you have to mess around with it

[pallid marsh]

Your not a old pro cs player that played on 4:3 crts. Why change it to that

[low sorrel]

i've played cs on 4:3 for almost 10 years now and im not changing

[potent wing]

you arent that good anyway xD

only actual pros use it

[low sorrel]

i just like that they are thick

acer why can't i create a custom resoultion

[potent wing]

using a good monitor for 4:3 is kinda

[green marsh]

actual pros push their nose to the monitor

[potent wing]

stupid

[low sorrel]

this is true

bro it's fucking CS it looks like ass anyways

[pallid marsh]

You need help

[potent wing]

you are probably playing on low settings

[low sorrel]

high

it's not a great looking game

[potent wing]

4:3 isnt gonna make you better

[low sorrel]

it's a comfort thing

if i've played stretched for years

let me play stretched

[fervent chasm]

no

[potent wing]

me after i get killed by a pixel

[pallid marsh]

4:3 is the essential oils of the gaming space

[fervent chasm]

16:9 till i die

[potent wing]

i payed for a 4080 why would i put it through 4:3

paid*

[green marsh]

benq/zowie even promotes this

[pallid marsh]

Lmao

[low sorrel]

sure im not telling you to play 4:3

[fervent chasm]

if ur face isnt in the monitor then your mouse wont be behind it and you lose that issue

[low sorrel]

16:9 is more optimal

but i do not care i like 4:3

[green marsh]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4yly0nD_Pc

[potent wing]

4:3 just looks like dogshit

[fervent chasm]

im just messing

[low sorrel]

i like how enemies are thick

[fervent chasm]

is using display based zoom cheating in games like CS? IE built in zoom near the reticle/center screen

[potent wing]

yes

[green marsh]

hardware zoom by putting a magnifying glass is not tho. but you can't bring that to tournaments 😄

(pure sarcasm)

[low sorrel]

and i want to fucking change my monitor to fucking 4:3 on this fucking annoying ass acer piece of shit with it's annoying ass ussless OSD that takes longer then a person to be born, go through school have kids marry and die. and it's annoying ass software that for some reason breaks hdr randomly for no god damn reason so i have to reset the settings rechange all of the settings and try again

like why does it randomly disable hdr

[potent wing]

you probably have that window auto hdr bs on

[low sorrel]

no

like HDR fully disables randomly and i have to factory reset the monitor

[pure garnet]

tbf did you expect acer to have a good osd

[green marsh]

i had an Acer monitor which had no input select. Only input button which cycled to the next available input. hated that

[edgy laurel]

as someone who plays everything in HDR, I haven't used windows built in AutoHDR in years. there is no point and better ways exist

[potent wing]

im using dell plus LG

[low sorrel]

no but i expected the firmware not to be a buggy piece of shit

[potent wing]

acer

[low sorrel]

like to disable HDR heres what i have to do

[pure garnet]

try updating it

my xg27ugc got a bunch of firmware fixes

[potent wing]

my dell monitor wont support 3840x2160

</3

[low sorrel]

click the stiff ass buttons that don't register half the time

go to hdr disable
wait 15 seconds for the monitor to reboot
go to gaming
scroll all the way down
local dimming off
monitor reboots again
go to brightness and turn it up from 50 because for somereason it resets everytime
wait 15 seconds for the monitor to scroll from 50-100
enable max brightness because it's locked at a super low nits otherwise
change colorspace to warm from cool because it doesn't remember
finially disable HDR in windows because windows still thinks the monitor supports HDR when HDR is off

[potent wing]

new monitor time

[wraith steeple]

How's TC2?

[low sorrel]

oh and if i wanna reenable HDR i have to the same process again

but i have to do it twice

because for some fucking unknown reason

the colors look washed more then your grannys pictures from when she was young

[solid pelican]

what exactly will cinebench tell me?

[edgy laurel]

buddy i've gotta go look at what that even is. don't overthink things

[devout ridge]

it’s a benchmark, so it tells you your performance in the benchmark

it’ll give you single thread and multicore performance

[pallid marsh]

His name is Stupid idiot on steam for a reason

[edgy laurel]

why are you running it?

[solid pelican]

well i looked up what are the best ways to see if your pc is running as it should and cinebench was the top answer

[tepid mason]

Meshify c a good case?

[edgy laurel]

its a quick way to ensure your cooling solution is doing what its supposed to and your chip performs inline with others (you then need to do some googling for whats an expected score for your specific chip)

[devout ridge]

cases are the least important thing when it comes to pc building

as long as it fits your components and you like the look, it’s fine

[solid pelican]

does cinebench have a list of scores for that cpu?

[edgy laurel]

The whole Meshify line is great, but it really doesn't matter. Pick what you like

[edgy laurel]

No

[tepid mason]

Okay

[edgy laurel]

Thats on you, a quick google and some reading. Understanding that some people might be using performance enhancing BIOS options (PBO, for example, if AMD)

[tranquil finch]

is better to download it form MS store or from theiir website? R23

[edgy laurel]

Cinebench is also highly suseptible to background noise. As in, if you have a bunch of crap running in the background using CPU cycles, your score can be much lower than expected.

[edgy laurel]

its better to get it from any official source. the official link was posted above

[tranquil finch]

but MS store isnt like official?

[solid pelican]

ok so i looked online and cinebench r23 multicore score for my cpu was 23,000 and i got 19,220. Is that fine?

[edgy laurel]

Just get it wherever you like.

[edgy laurel]

Maybe, maybe not. I'm not sitting there to watch HWiNFO stats or have any idea how the chip is setup in the BIOS. Hell I don't even know what chip we're talking about.

[pure garnet]

depends on how much crap is open too

[solid pelican]

oh im sorry its the ryzen 7 9700x

[pure garnet]

if you’ve got rgb software running that’s eating cpu cycles

discord is, steam is, etc

[edgy laurel]

Lets look at this together https://www.reddit.com/r/allbenchmarks/comments/1hmdud2/9700x_105_watt_cinebench_r23/

[edgy laurel]

That 23k score is with PBO and -20 CO. Are you setup that way too?

[solid pelican]

im not sure what that all means

[edgy laurel]

Then probably not, so I'd expect the score to be lower.

Non-PBO scores

[solid pelican]

what does PBO and -20 CO mean?

if its talking about overclocking than I have not done that

[edgy laurel]

looks like stock 9700x is in the 19k-21k range

[solid pelican]

ok

what is PBO?

[pure garnet]

overclocking

[solid pelican]

ok

[edgy laurel]

Precision Boost Overdrive. An automated unlock to allow the chip to effectively overclock itself within safe limits

[pure garnet]

and supposedly unsafe if you have the right asrock board

[solid pelican]

is that done within bios?

[edgy laurel]

heh

yes

[pure garnet]

yeah it’s all bios tuning

[solid pelican]

oh ok, yea ive never really been one to OC since id rather not toast my components you know

[edgy laurel]

part of PBO is Curve Optimizer, which is undervolting. furthering performance to a point

[edgy laurel]

enabling PBO isn't going to toast your parts...

[solid pelican]

would you recommend i enable it?

[edgy laurel]

I can't think of a reason on a modern AMD chip why you wouldn't enable it

[solid pelican]

i guess i didnt specifically mean PBO just OC in general

[pure garnet]

like my pbo is at +200 -20 so my cpu will boost to 200mhz over stock and would use 20 less steps on the voltage curve

[edgy laurel]

And for 9700x, i get out of the stock 65w mode ASAP

the 105W mode is where you wanna be to get the most out of it

[pure garnet]

if you just turn pbo on “enabled” it takes 0 effort to sanity check and it’s free performance

co and manual offsets are the effort part

[solid pelican]

i would im just not sure if my cooling and psu would support adding the wattage

[edgy laurel]

uh

go on

[solid pelican]

cooling meaning overheating

and psu meaning i have a 650w psu

[edgy laurel]

well we're not sure either since we don't have any idea what you have

but your psu is fine

[solid pelican]

i can give my specs if it would help

[edgy laurel]

just your cooler lol

PBO is dynamic. if there is no thermal headroom it won't boost

[solid pelican]

oh ok, i have a thermalright phantom spirit 120se

[potent wing]

yay linux works

[edgy laurel]

so literally what 23k score guy has

[pure garnet]

dude a corn dog could cool a 9700x

[solid pelican]

my only concern with cooling is my case and that is a nzxt h510 base model

[edgy laurel]

you're dramatically overthinking how big of a deal PBO is

[pure garnet]

going from 65w to 105w is going to add maybe like

maybe 2-3c? that cooler is overkill

[edgy laurel]

ya

I was cooling a 200+W 7900x on a similar cooler

[pure garnet]

shit i had my 265k on a worse cooler drawing 240w

[solid pelican]

oh ok, cause my cpu right now never goes ove 68c

[edgy laurel]

miles of headroom

pulling so little power right now

well, is that doing a proper stress test/CPU benchmark?

[steel stream]

@topaz veldt we got spawn killled by a rocketeer

[low sorrel]

and before that got camped by a jolt mine

[solid pelican]

ill go enable it and come back

Is this it?

[edgy laurel]

dunno, ez mode is weird

i mean probably yes

what board is that

[solid pelican]

Gigabyte b650 x ax v2

So I found it and right now it’s on auto

[pure garnet]

set it to enabled

[solid pelican]

Ok

[edgy laurel]

really should be doing this https://www.gigabyte.com/Press/News/2216

tweaker tab > TDP to 105W

gotta get out of that EZ mode

[solid pelican]

I don’t see 105w mode

[edgy laurel]

i dunno, don't have an AM5 gigabyte board in front of me

could be an old BIOS, who knows

[solid pelican]

Will it still be fine too use PBO without the 105w mode?

[edgy laurel]

fine as in what?

[solid pelican]

I mean will I be seeing performance increases even without changing the wattage limit?

[edgy laurel]

i dunno if that bypasses power limits and you get the 105W anyway? not sure

look for a search field, search for TDP

[signal osprey]

You can just try and then run a stress test on like aida64 or what ever and see the power draw

[solid pelican]

Ok, so I also see PBO enhancement. Do you know what that does?

[signal osprey]

takes like a few mins

[signal osprey]

isnt that literally the option to turn on pbo

[solid pelican]

The only thing that shows when I search TDP is TDP control

[edgy laurel]

assuming thats just PBO but again, i'm not in front of the BIOS to know for sure. Looks different on my Asus and Asrock boards

[solid pelican]

No

The bottom shows the description for PBO enhancement

[signal osprey]

it should be liek profiles for pbo

i think in pbo enchanement u can adjust the power limit in diff profiles? try clikcing into it

it should have different profiles for pbo

[edgy laurel]

its going to show this, and I dunno wtf that is

looks like some gigabyte specific stuff

[solid pelican]

Yea that’s it

[edgy laurel]

go to Advanced CPU settings

look for AMD Overclocking menu

[signal osprey]

https://skatterbencher.com/gigabyte-pbo-enhancement/

[solid pelican]

Yea I’m here. It’s shows accept or decline

[signal osprey]

Literally just profiles for pbo lol it says on bottom left

[edgy laurel]

so its presets

[solid pelican]

Ohh ok

[signal osprey]

exactly yeah

[low sorrel]

@topaz veldt I just made 105k from a raid

[solid pelican]

Which would you recommend I do

[edgy laurel]

If you want to do easy presets, I'd do 90 Level 3. If that has issues, 90 Level 2.

You however can do what you want now that its all explained.

[low sorrel]

me and @steel stream shit on a team that were gooped up

[signal osprey]

hmm but apparently these presets does not touch the power limit tho

[frank zealot]

Apparently my suggestion fixed epic crash out dude's Bluetooth problem

[solid pelican]

What does the 90 mean? That’s the highest temp the cpu will reach?

[edgy laurel]

but yeah I wouldn't bother with a 9700x on default 65W

[signal osprey]

but i think doing the easy way by using presets is good enough

[edgy laurel]

temp limit at 90

[solid pelican]

Oh ok

[edgy laurel]

the Levels are Curve Optimizer undervolting

[solid pelican]

Gotcha

[edgy laurel]

Find your bios's Search, type TDP, screenshot results

[solid pelican]

Ok

[edgy laurel]

unclear what the options are for that

i need to click things to figure it out

is that a drop down? what does that do?

[signal osprey]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gF53vG2b3U

is it this lol try search power limits

seems like same bios here

[solid pelican]

It’s a switch, I click it and it either is on or off idk what it does

[edgy laurel]

see above

[solid pelican]

I search power limits and it shows a option with the number 0

[signal osprey]

try to follow this can u find the same option

i dont understand why is tdp limit so hidden lmao

[edgy laurel]

they make it sound like its pretty easy here

back in September with AGESA 1.2.0.1a

sorry, September 2024

[signal osprey]

maybe cause aorus and eagle mobo diff? or do they have same bios just diff ui

[edgy laurel]

maybe but that kinda thing is typically across the board on B and X series boards

if on at least the latest AGESA

you'd think, anyway

and that was over a year ago it was added

[signal osprey]

Still dumb anyways, changing the tdp limit should be easily accessible even on a B board no idea what gigabyte is smoking

[edgy laurel]

who knows maybe @solid pelican is on an BIOS from right when Zen5 launched

[solid pelican]

I updated my bios in march

To whatever the newest non beta version was

[edgy laurel]

well then you should have it.

[solid pelican]

I’ll go check after I finish running cinebench

[signal osprey]

why u running cinebench tho

[edgy laurel]

i don't even remember

[solid pelican]

What should I use to track temps while running it

[edgy laurel]

oh, it started as they just wanted to know if the chip was performing as it should

[signal osprey]

i normally just do aida64 stress test cpu and fpu

[solid pelican]

Too see if turning on PBO helps

[edgy laurel]

then the conversation moved to how others scores are higher since they were on the 105w mode and using PBO.. and it snowballed from there

[solid pelican]

Indeed

[signal osprey]

oh wait mb i thought ure trying to check the temps lol

[solid pelican]

Oh no lol

Is nzxt cam ok to use for temps?

[low sorrel]

just use hwinfo

[edgy laurel]

i mean, if thats all you've got but.. hwinfo is the defacto standard for most people

[signal osprey]

normally i just see people using either aida64 or hwinfo

hwinfo can be downloaded online

[solid pelican]

Sensor or summary mode? For hwinfo

[potent wing]

yay my linux works :D

[edgy laurel]

sensors only

[potent wing]

command line is scary /s

[fringe vigil]

[wraith steeple]

[potent wing]

no no you need to watercool ryzen /s

[solid pelican]

Definitely

[signal osprey]

for gaming usually na

[solid pelican]

Ok so my score went up 1,000

Not crazy but it’s ok

[edgy laurel]

and just like that, a baby overclocker was born. the bug has been set

https://tenor.com/view/james-franco-hey-gif-10584026

[signal osprey]

like adreline for the gpu?

[edgy laurel]

AMD's GPU management software

[signal osprey]

u use that for gpu oc, and some other gpu stuff ofc

[solid pelican]

Oh

[edgy laurel]

well, lots more than just overclocking

[solid pelican]

So I have no use for it since I’m on nvidia

[edgy laurel]

no, you have no use for it

[solid pelican]

Ok

And as for ryzen master? Does it just suck?

[edgy laurel]

its pointless, anything it does is better done in the BIOS

[solid pelican]

Oh ok

[signal osprey]

if u want to wanna mess around u can try undervolting and overclocking with afterburner

[solid pelican]

I’m good

I’ve always seen mixed results with overclocking and I can’t afford to replace components if something happens you know

[edgy laurel]

the worst thing thats going to happen is a crash

[solid pelican]

Oh

[edgy laurel]

unless you get more advanced and start manually adjusting voltages, you're very safe

but just playing inside PBO with Curve Optimizer offsets, you're not going to damage anything

[signal osprey]

Gpu overclock is like the easiest part to overclock

ram and cpu overclocking is much more tedious

if ur on like an nvidia 3080 3090 4080 those cards u can shave off a lot of power draw from some undervolting

[potent wing]

isnt just change mhz then see if crash

[signal osprey]

this fr

[solid pelican]

What is undervolting

[potent wing]

I dont need to oc i have a 4080 rpf;

[signal osprey]

u lower the voltage, it draws less power and runs cooler

[edgy laurel]

I can barely touch my core and memory clocks before I see artifacting

[potent wing]

god linux is different

[edgy laurel]

so I just leave it

[signal osprey]

yeah 4080 doeswnt reallt benefit thatt much but 30series flagships would benefit a lot from some undervolting

[vestal granite]

im gonna say it

georgia top 5 worst states

[solid pelican]

Does it lower performance?

[hoary hatch]

I don't think it would make my bottom third

[signal osprey]

depends how much u lower it

[solid pelican]

Ok

[edgy laurel]

there is a balance to be struck with undervolting. The concept is less volts = less heat = clocks can be pushed further

[signal osprey]

like my 3080 the power draw got lowered by 80-90w and perf increased by 3-5%

[vestal granite]

Florida, georgia, mississippi, louisiana, ohio

[signal osprey]

just mess around the voltage and freq and see whats good

[vestal granite]

no particular order just all bad

[hoary hatch]

How the fuck is Alabama not on your list

[vestal granite]

forgot about it

alabama worse than ohio

[hoary hatch]

Arkansas

[vestal granite]

arkansas is fine just empty

[potent wing]

[pure garnet]

the best 3080 you can buy is a 4070

[vestal granite]

these states are fine theyre passively mid not actively bad

My 4060ti is 165w
My 2060 however, got to like 220w

[pure garnet]

yeah ada is really power efficient

[signal osprey]

cause tsmc>samsung

[south shuttle]

if the start running out of state money bc you broke all the garbage bins they may consider taxing that doesn’t exclude you

[pure garnet]

so then

exactly what i just said 😭

[oak vector]

I concur
My 4060ti whoops my 2060 around the bush while using like 20-25% less power on avg haha

[vestal granite]

nah I don't live here and quite frankly I will never purposefully return

[signal osprey]

yeah but clearly ure wrong about it being double lmao, even stock 3080 is only 340-350 ish

[vestal granite]

It's the perfect crime

[oak vector]

Tbh
We don’t have metal garbage bins here

[signal osprey]

anyways who uses ts stock anyways, just undervolt it only draws like 200 ish watts

mine draws like 210w in games

[pure garnet]

you’re hinging this on that i rounded ~60% more power to double?

[south shuttle]

you’ll setup a global chain of events because you broke the garbage bin, someone has to buy a new one which costs steel, which may raise international steel pricing, which may result in the bars of your home costing more, which may increase housing shortage, which will raise futures prices for your dream house

[edgy laurel]

i feel like a 3080 limited to 200W is losing a notable amount of performance but

[signal osprey]

but who uses a 3080 stock anyways? why would u buy a 3080 if ure not gonna undervolt+oc

[fringe vigil]

3090 is my best gpu ever

[signal osprey]

nah i gained perfortmance lmao

[south shuttle]

yh bc it’s mine

[pure garnet]

do you have any actual evidence of this

like a 3d mark of stock vs this magic config

[signal osprey]

u want ss lmao

[pure garnet]

well no i want verifiable data

[signal osprey]

stock 17500 ish, uv is 18000 timespy

[signal osprey]

lol u want me to video it for you what do i get

wasting 30 minutes of my life lmao

[pure garnet]

why does it take you 30 minutes to run 2 passes of 3d mark?

[signal osprey]

just throwing random ass numbers from estimation and rounding off like the shits you do lmao

[pure garnet]

was that english

just run timespy at your undervolt+ 200w limit and one at stock

[signal osprey]

but i think the perf increase was cause stock card was oc and it was unstable w the 1935mhz boost?

[signal osprey]

nah in timespyt its liek 250-260w ish, in actual games its like around 210w lol

its like 90w down from stock

[pure garnet]

so it’s still above the 4070s power draw…

[signal osprey]

yeah by like 50-60w than a 4070, ofc you can also undervolt a 4070

[pure garnet]

my 5070ti only draws 200w if i fps cap games but that doesnt remove the fact its a 300w card when its actually going

[signal osprey]

ok bro if i fps cap my games then its sub 200w lmao

[vestal granite]

naw I don't use steel I use rocks and dirt

[signal osprey]

if i dont cap it runs at 210w the games i play

[pure garnet]

visions of verizon rep phone call

[signal osprey]

ok bro

[south shuttle]

very expensive assets

[pure garnet]

would i count this stable since it only errored once in 3 hours?

[signal osprey]

8000 c38 damn bro

Is this hynix mdie adie or wat

[pure garnet]

untested a die

[signal osprey]

shii fire

[pure garnet]

no clue if this cpu works or not either

👍

[signal osprey]

goodluck then gang

[shell void]

reddit stable

[pure garnet]

unless the ram is godawful i want to try and do like 8000cl32 before getting an apu for that system

i’m like mostly sure it’s the fclk since that chip was kinda odd

[signal osprey]

yeah normally even 8000c36 should be lightwork for adie right

weird if it crashes/errors on c38 ?

[pure garnet]

for context i had a x870 tomahawk that was like omega broken so idk how stable that chip is at my old settings anymore

[pallid zephyr]

I got a asrock A620-X motherboard. Idk if it has wireless Bluetooth and WiFi tho

[tranquil finch]

Should I turn on or off smart app control in windows defender?

[edgy laurel]

it has neither. It does have an E-key M.2 slot for a wifi card, however

[edgy laurel]

if you have a reason to, or want to, sure

you asked this already

[pure garnet]

normalize not touching settings you don’t understand

[pallid zephyr]

what does this wifi card do?

[pure garnet]

wifi…

[low sorrel]

ya know hdr might be broken in this game

[pallid zephyr]

well yeah that but like does it include bluetooth?

[edgy laurel]

maybe, maybe its just not setup

[pure garnet]

have you looked at the hdr memes yet

hdrify or whatever

[low sorrel]

i got flashbanged

[pure garnet]

all i know is turning on hdr fucks up all the colors i have set on my monitor

so i keep it disabled

[signal osprey]

@pure garnet lol yeah so basically post uv did better than stock on my card cause the card is oc so stock freq is unstable lmao, but relative to a standard non oc 3080 my card is uv+oc

[edgy laurel]

the board you have does not have wifi or bluetooth. you can purchase one that will have both, however. Example.

[pure garnet]

the card shouldn’t be unstable stock

that sounds broken

[edgy laurel]

man, budget A620 is dreadful

[pure garnet]

at least it has flashback?

[pallid zephyr]

is that bad?

[fervent chasm]

but it has a button

[fervent chasm]

might be cmos reset

[edgy laurel]

am5 mandate

[signal osprey]

idek lmao, but it did better after with 8.5v 1875mhz, stock is 1935 but that did worse lmao

[fervent chasm]

er, is that was cmos reset does?

[edgy laurel]

just barebones. "bad" depends on you

[pure garnet]

i doubt it

[pallid zephyr]

i dont even think it supports two monitors does it?

[pure garnet]

my board has pretty crappy io but i only use 2 usb so its fine

[signal osprey]

standard 3080 is like 1700 ish mhz yeah so 3-5% better than stock versions of standard 3080 on my card

[edgy laurel]

don't see why it wouldn't

I see one DP and one HDMI output

[signal osprey]

cause the stock 1935 frequency got the same score as the 1710mhz FE edition lmao @pure garnet

[edgy laurel]

assuming you're running displays off the iGPU

[pallid zephyr]

cause im running a ryzen 5 9600x and a 9060xt 16gb

[pallid zephyr]

oh yeah gpu displays

[edgy laurel]

this doesn't make any sense. your 9060xt can support 4+ displays alone. two more on the motherboard

[pallid zephyr]

oh alright

so this motherboard supports this stuff fine

[edgy laurel]

poking fun at how barebones it is but realistically this means nothing to a 2x SSD, 1x GPU gamer

who doesn't care about PBO overclocking/undervolting

(since you're missing that feature entirely with A series)

[signal osprey]

Huh this is based on ur gpu

the amount of monitors

oh wait i forgot ur 9600x has igpu lmao

[pallid zephyr]

so all i have to do is get a wifi card and ill be fine?

[signal osprey]

yeah this or wifi dongle

[edgy laurel]

or just run a cable

the preferred method

[pallid zephyr]

ethernet cable im assuming?

will that bring better connection?

[signal osprey]

yeah its more stable

[edgy laurel]

than unoptimized wifi? almost always

[signal osprey]

and faster

[pallid zephyr]

oh ok

but for bluetooth i would still need a dongle

[signal osprey]

if ure seperated by ike 3 walls from ur router ur speed will take a huge hit

[signal osprey]

no usually wifi dongles also has bluetooth

[pallid zephyr]

one of the issue im seperated by a couple walls

even tho my routers down the hall from me

[edgy laurel]

As I said above, if you buy an AX210 based E-Key wifi card kit like this, Bluetooth is inculded. Like it says in the description. https://a.co/d/4WmDbCL

That board is setup to have one added

[signal osprey]

then maybe just use wifi lol

[pallid zephyr]

ohhhhh

so is m.2 wifi more efficent or wifi dongle?

[signal osprey]

And then the antenna you screw it in on the tray thingy

[edgy laurel]

the absolute last thing I'd ever consider would be a USB wifi dongle

[pallid zephyr]

oh alright

https://www.bestbuy.com/product/cudy-wifi-7-be9300-pcie-wi-fi-card-tri-band-6ghz-wireless-adapter-bluetooth-5-4-wpa3-easy-setup-black-red-black-and-red/JJ8HCLSTHF

so something like this is optimal?

[edgy laurel]

i mean that isn't what I'm suggesting but it'll do the same job

[signal osprey]

wifi card is faster lol

maybe by like what 10 15% lol

like dongle and wifi card of the same level

if u can use card just get card, dongle also -1 port for u

[pallid zephyr]

im tryna find one i can get in store before christmas

[edgy laurel]

You have 3 primary options to add Wifi.

1. If you have a board that supports it, like you do, just adding an E-Key Wifi M.2 module and antennas. Usually cheapest and less cables to mess with. Linked one earlier.
2. A full Wifi PCIe card like you just linked. Will work just as well but you need to run a USB cable to the motherboards USB2 header to make use of Bluetooth.
3. USB Wifi dongle. Usually garbage performance and you still need to buy something for Bluetooth in a lot (not all) cases.

[pallid zephyr]

oh

[edgy laurel]

I don't mess with wifi at all on my desktops. All wired

[signal osprey]

you do know whats a usb header right

[pallid zephyr]

i think

the thing with female pin thingy

[edgy laurel]

that board actually has two USB2 headers, if one is occupied by anything else

[signal osprey]

well the cable is the female one ig, mobo side is male with the pins

[pallid zephyr]

oh alright

[signal osprey]

Yeah just look for pins that looks like the pic above
