signal osprey
#

should say usb next to it

edgy laurel
#

pretty easy to spot

pallid zephyr
#

yeah i see also i bought a new psu for my prebuilt like a while ago should i use the psu for my new build or get a new one??

signal osprey
#

what psu is it

#

and whats ur new build gonna be like

fervent chasm
#

skip to 11 seconds

#

thats the browser stream

#

20ms E2E host -> wired -> router -> wireless -> client

hoary hatch

fervent chasm
#

100+FPS at 1440p in the browser

#

pretty sick

#

theres some bitrate optimizations I have to make but I think im basically done with the streaming part

signal osprey
#

but why not b650 tho for the mobo

#

is the price diff big or wat

pallid zephyr
#

Tbh not really

#

I could’ve went the b650 I don’t know why I didn’t DANger

signal osprey
pallid zephyr
#

I know what io is

signal osprey
#

i think a620 has some features for pbo but its like really limited

#

u would be getting better perf on b650 with turning on pbo and increasing tdp limit

fervent chasm
#

no custom bios that lets you do that with the a620?

pallid zephyr
#

Ngl my old psu kinda sucks its bronze 500 w i think ima get a new one

signal osprey
pallid zephyr
signal osprey
#

500w is enough for 9600x + 9060xt lol

#

but if its a shitty brand/model yeah just change

pallid zephyr
#

Seems pretty shitty

signal osprey
#

dang this just looks fucking amazing

#

wouldnt you say so

pallid zephyr
#

Hell yeah man

signal osprey
#

Designed in california assembled in china

#

i think apple made this psu

topaz veldt
#

Oh man someone went a620?

low vector
#

should i go with a air or liquid cooler for a ryzen 7 7800x3d

you can adequately cool that chip with a basic air cooler

topaz veldt
#

its liek a home rolled cigarette?

#

im at 3:35

pure garnet
#

running prime 95 on mine i dont think it even broke 100w

edgy laurel
#

can be in the 60w range if a CPU heavy game

topaz veldt
#

its a shame A620 doesn't allow PBO

pure garnet
#

wait no i know you do from the clocks

edgy laurel

#

hey it’s usually off by default

#

that’s why i quoted pbo off figures Nerdge

topaz veldt
#

@edgy laurel it peeves me Linus talking RAIDZ1 on NAND

edgy laurel
#

i've had it paused but I wouldn't know why thats a problem

topaz veldt
#

when you write say a 64k block of data in raidz1, it stripes portions of that 64k again over the disks for parity. What is the enemy of NAND?

edgy laurel
#

uhhh

topaz veldt
#

writes

edgy laurel
#

endurance?

topaz veldt
#

so when writing to parity-based vdevs (raidz1, raidz2, etc.) you actually amplify the amount of writes to your SSDs

solid pelican
#

im getting high fps but my game just doesnt feel smooth almost like ghosting is happening, why?

edgy laurel
#

oh, i'm catching up. its DIY

topaz veldt
#

which means halving your usable capacity

edgy laurel
#

its a neat system i guess, if sound is a problem

topaz veldt
#

yeah

#

lol

#

minutes later "welp that never finished or worked... we had to call 45 drives support..."

edgy laurel

#

that Gateway monitor

topaz veldt
#

lol vga

edgy laurel
topaz veldt
#

you should see the one I have

edgy laurel
#

thats a 1680x1050 unit from like 2008

topaz veldt
#

thats luxury

edgy laurel
#

I had that on my desk for a few years

topaz veldt
#

dude i keep a 17" like Samsung LCD

edgy laurel
#

thats the exact same monitor

topaz veldt
#

ha nice

edgy laurel
#

why the hell are they using that

#

oh, it was broken lmao

topaz veldt
#

rofl this video is going very poorly

#

it wasn't broken - the thing only has VGA out

#

so to do initial config they needed a monitor

edgy laurel
#

they swapped it out for a different monitor, couldn't get it to work

topaz veldt
#

weird

#

this is terrible lol - wait til you see this trash

#

i dunno why they bother with this shit

#

they put a UI on top of zfs on linux - its called TrueNAS

#

And TrueNAS actually works

#

lol Linus never got a working share out of it

edgy laurel
#

yeah why start with a desktop distro

pure garnet
#

wait which video is this

edgy laurel

edgy laurel
# solid pelican does anyone know?

not without looking deeper at whats actually going on. but i'm watching this video then back to gaming. plus doing this remotely is a pain

solid pelican
#

do i need to send info of my monitor?

pure garnet

you can get all of the data as to why it's running poorly with these

i need some advice, everyone knows ram prices are crazy and 32Gb (2x16) is like $400 aud. Ive found 64GB of corsair vengance 3200mhz for $400 and ive also found Gskill and corsair 32Gb (4x8) for $260. What should i do

its always just certain games that have high fps but it just feels so choppy

#

can i use freesync premiuim through my monitor even though i have a nvidia gpu

edgy laurel
#

no, you just use GSync

solid pelican
#

would using freesync cause issues

edgy laurel
#

how are you going to enable Freesync with an Nvidia GPU

#

(hint, you aren't)

solid pelican
#

its in my monitors settings itself

Anyone got any smart-tv recommendations? The built in Android TV works ok enough to where no ones complaining but I'd like to get something better for Stremio. Max budget is £100 and everyone uses Android (except for me) but we never cast. The TV is 4k.

pure garnet
#

gsync compatible = freesync = vrr

edgy laurel
#

turning that on doesn't mean anything, AdaptiveSync needs to be enabled in your display drivers software.

#

AKA GSync, for you

solid pelican
#

oh ok, cause im trying to find out why my games look choppy but i was wondering if that could be it

edgy laurel

#

yea its like tearing and ghosting sorta thing

edgy laurel
#

Gsync - on in Nvidia Control Panel or Nvidia App

Vsync - on in Nvidia Control Panel or Nvidia App, off in game

Max Frame Rate - set a global cap based on your refresh rate (formula above)

Reflex - always on in game when available

#

480Hz -> 424 FPS
360Hz -> 328 FPS
240Hz -> 226 FPS
180Hz -> 172 FPS
165Hz -> 158 FPS
144Hz -> 139 FPS
120Hz -> 116 FPS

#

global framerate cap based on refreshrate of your particular display

solid pelican
#

i have a 165hz moniter so i should cap it at 158 in game?

edgy laurel
#

in the Nvidia app

#

Graphics > Global tab

#

then System > Displays for GSync

#

Then also Graphics > Global for VSync

I need to replace a PC fan. the fan that's there is 3.6 watts.. can i get by with less wattage or do i need to hit that?

edgy laurel
#

not quite sure what the problem is

hoary hatch
#

Just get a new one

edgy laurel
#

hit that? hit what? I sense a misunderstanding

hoary hatch
#

is their question

hoary hatch
brittle glen
edgy laurel
#

so yes, misunderstanding of whats going on with fans

brittle glen
#

couldn't get the math to work in my head

#

what is "better" dual bearings or "hydrolic bearings"?

edgy laurel
#

dual bearings isn't a type of bearing

brittle glen
edgy laurel
#

dual ball bearings

#

is a type

dapper junco
#

Dual bearing is just 2 bearings

brittle glen
edgy laurel
#

ball bearings are "better" in terms of longevity but can be minorly noisy. not something one generally suggests for basic case fans

brittle glen
#

reading that page you gave me

#

ok.. I'll swap in the fan i have spare right now, and research another one for later

edgy laurel
#

if these are just case fans, don't think to deep into it. its not a difficult job

#

also don't need to spin them that fast so its not difficult to make nearly and fan quiet

brittle glen
edgy laurel
#

inside the PSU?

brittle glen
#

nod

edgy laurel
#

if it just uses a normal 3 or 4 pin connection, should be easy to replace as long as you don't touch something you shouldn't

#

you'll know if you do ⚡

brittle glen
hoary hatch
#

Bruh

brittle glen
#

yeah.. as long as the math on the numbers is fine, physically it's good

hoary hatch
#

Go stick the screwdriver in there

#

Wiggle it around a bunch

brittle glen
#

looking closer, it's a 2 pin connecter and my spare is a 3 pin.

hoary hatch
#

Those may be selected specifically for the psu

#

I cannot tell for sure how many wires are in that picture

edgy laurel
#

its probably just + and -, no need for a tach signal on a PSU fan. Still doable if you're handy with electronics and cabling

hoary hatch
#

Some PSUs can have non standard size fans

brittle glen
#

sorry, wasn't aware that there was a difference psu vs since the fan in there seems to be pretty standard case fan

devout ridge
#

it's a standard 12v DC fan

edgy laurel
#

i'd assume based on that model number its a 120 but..

brittle glen
devout ridge
#

12cmx12cm and being 25mm thick

brittle glen
#

it's a Thermaltake tt-1225. 120mm

devout ridge
#

Figured

edgy laurel
hoary hatch
edgy laurel
#

you don't need "sensor" in this case

hoary hatch
#

Time to make it RGB fan

brittle glen
#

and would avoid unplugging it from the board and hitting a cap

#

ok.. found a replacement on amazon that'll be here tomorrow, so I'll go with that so my other fan is kept as a spare.

I appreciate y'all's help

@livid flame I took a look at how moonlight does it, theyre presetting 60Mbps at 1440p144fps I think I was too used to the major platforms that try to optimize for bandwidth

Ive added a similar system which uses a formula to calculate target and max bandwidth based on resolution and refresh rate instead of hard coding

To get a proper amount of PCIe lanes you either have to go stupid expensive for something modern or annoyingly old

Yeah which isn’t ideal in vram intensive loads

brave panther

yep

avoid this one if your aiming for the ryzen 7 5700x

that board you have has support for any AM4 chip. you don't need a new motherboard

hm... RTL8127 card with SFP and 4.0 x4 interface. Now the question is if it is really x4 and can do 3.0 x4 or it is just 4.0 x1 electrical... But it seems RTL8127AT/RTL8127ATG might be 3.0 x2 interface;

The RTL8127ATG and RTL8127AT support either PCIe Gen 3 x2 or PCIe Gen 4 x1 for better compatibility with older motherboards.
So hopefully this card is 3.0 x2 / 4.0 x1 at same time

like tbh its arguably cheaper to make that over an ethernet nic

because its just a straight-shot from the sfp cage to the usb controller

instead of having an ethernet controller, voltage circuitry, isolations, protections, etc
