[edgy laurel]

you'd think family would get bone stock

[topaz veldt]

I never order w/ them

[pure garnet]

floppa only tests with the finest cinebench r23 for 20 minutes

[merry stirrup]

this is true

realistically each of the computers got about 2 days of stress tests

[pure garnet]

im about 30 hours in the the b850 mpower 8000 setup

although that's about done really

[merry stirrup]

i had to mess with the 12700K's volts

default settings on the older 129 bios was doing like 1.45 vid

got that way low to like 1.27 with just the normal sauce we apply for stock settings on lga 1700

its a good little computer its very pretty

[edgy laurel]

to be at the point where you want to have something go wrong so you can fix it.

oh, you'll learn in time mr floppa. you will learn.

[merry stirrup]

i dont want anything to go wrong

you really dont have faith in me if you dont think 2 days of stress tests is a reasonable amount of time to prove a computer is stable lol

not 2 days of playing

2 days of stress tests

[edgy laurel]

my time in here has told me all of you are a little delusional with what you consider stable lmao

[merry stirrup]

brother none of here run most of the oc's we post daily 😭

thats why kyoko is doing like 16 hours of ram test

if thats not stable idk what is tbh

time will tell

[edgy laurel]

in the car world, that would be factory spec

[merry stirrup]

i run my daily oc stress tests for genuine days

i just did 14 hours of karhu and 12 hours of yc a couple days ago

cause im doing cpu tuning

[pure garnet]

i spent like 2-3 days tuning my pc before i swapped to a new os

[merry stirrup]

a lot of the people here running ocs for daily have multiple computers and end up taking days before swapping to their upgraded platform while they tune it

the "30 minutes and its good" you see us suggesting is not for stability but a good enough amount of time for us to run the test before making more changes

the final tune is always 12 hours or more of stress pretty much universally across the 5 or so people that run oced rigs daily

[pure garnet]

i did like 12h karhu and overnight vt3

i stability tested my xmp profile too

[merry stirrup]

im not schizophrenic

[pure garnet]

8000
4 dimmer

[merry stirrup]

okay true my bad i forgot

dont believe in pleb motherboards

[topaz veldt]

I do 🙂

[merry stirrup]

i mean the extreme stuff like macs 10000 stuff

[topaz veldt]

well that doesn't even run AIDA I am certain

[merry stirrup]

thats my point

[topaz veldt]

but he didn't spend 20 hours n it

[merry stirrup]

also my point

[pure garnet]

aida ate my co

didnt expect that

[merry stirrup]

ate it?!

[pure garnet]

unstable

[merry stirrup]

ah

dont you have like -15

[pure garnet]

-20 on daily

[merry stirrup]

oh my bad

[topaz veldt]

what override

[pure garnet]

bc -25 and -30 failed aida

[pure garnet]

+200

[topaz veldt]

My best scores have been like +100-150

and more aggressive negative offset

[edgy laurel]

ok disturbing room aside, I've spotted the only acceptable thing @steel stream

amd $5k upgrade video

[pure garnet]

im gonna try and get 5.2ghz out of my 7800x3d with eclk

[merry stirrup]

kaboom man

[hoary hatch]

Oh, finally a collectible I have

[topaz veldt]

The OC/tinker is fun, but my sff build there's just something wholesome about it working and being small

[edgy laurel]

with the amount in that room, you probably have something else in there too

[pure garnet]

i never fixed my trddl on my daily system just to annoy floppa

even though it's at 8 on my 8000 setup

[merry stirrup]

unusable

[hoary hatch]

I only have ghosts and LEGO

[topaz veldt]

8000 CL32 is my daily system

[harsh thicket]

gimme details on that ghost shell:
namely just how big is it length/width wise

[pure garnet]

i could daily 8000 but matx in a fishbowl is kinda lame

[merry stirrup]

noticing lack of funny number on unused trfc values

[harsh thicket]

i need dimensions for a project

[pure garnet]

if it doesn't get used i do not set it

[hoary hatch]

I have bought one Funko pop and remove it from its packaging (red storm trooper cause it looked kinda cool)

[pure garnet]

aside from the dual rank timings i put those out of habit

[merry stirrup]

69 and 420 always appreciated

[edgy laurel]

i was at barnes and noble today and man, i want to build lego again so badly. I just don't want to pay for it or store it after.

[hoary hatch]

Assembling LEGO is the best part
Fwiw, there's are sets that are more intended to be on display

Botanicals collection, etc

[steel stream]

man I need a ghost

[harsh thicket]

i dont feel like buying one so im making one

[hoary hatch]

I could waste a lot of plastic

[harsh thicket]

real

[edgy laurel]

the only set I bought in the last 15+ years was a botanical set for a family member last christmas

[pure garnet]

the mpower is such a cool board for its price

[harsh thicket]

gonna print my silly guy

[pure garnet]

it will let me blow up the 7800x3d

kaboom

[hoary hatch]

Oh boy

[steel stream]

so cool

[hoary hatch]

Wrong attachment smh

[harsh thicket]

lmao lego.com

i bought that wall-e set btw

absolute banger

[hoary hatch]

I have 45000 pieces logged in the LEGO app

[edgy laurel]

thats a lot of star wars

I was mostly eyeing all the arcitectural and automotive stuff

[hoary hatch]

I loved star wars as a kid

I've gotten some star wars as an adult, but mostly branched out into the icons sets. The botanicals are my gf's

I can't afford star wars LEGO unless it's from costco

Not logged in the app because it is yet to be built
Concord, 747 shuttle carrier, SLS Artemis, lunar reconnaissance vehicle, Gameboy, AT-ST UCS

[edgy laurel]

their site doesn't seem to have everything

I saw some at target and barnes and noble the last two days that were awesome

oh wait, nevermind

yeah most of what i was into was in the Icons series

[hoary hatch]

Icons and ideas are fantastic

[edgy laurel]

wait, LOTR series????

I need $500 right now

[steel stream]

dude they are so good

[turbid locust]

Two days before Christmas and I’m outside in short sleeves

I fw global warming so heavy

[steel stream]

barad dur?

[edgy laurel]

Rivendell, but I want them all

[steel stream]

6090 or lego, the choice is yours

https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/the-lord-of-the-rings-barad-dur-10333 this one is the bomb

[edgy laurel]

uuuugh Concord is too good

[edgy laurel]

Yeah, this is so sick

[steel stream]

getting 11 minifigs is sweet

https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/lego-nasa-apollo-saturn-v-92176 i've got this at home

[topaz veldt]

we have a shit ton of lego

and technic

[steel stream]

yeah I want the technic f1 cars they are so cool

[hoary hatch]

Technic is a pain to build

[edgy laurel]

dude the last Technic I built was the coolest thing ever. 1999 "Super Car"

the doors went up on gas struts, the transmission and engine worked, had multiple forward gears + reverse

could lock the rear diff

[low sorrel]

akn what level are you in arc raiders

[edgy laurel]

my 11y/o brain was blown

er, 13

wait thats not it. I guess that was the re-release

oh it was this one. How they designed this to all "work" like it did back in the last 90's i'll never understand https://youtu.be/NQs15NNneGM

oh thats right it had a working convertible hard top!

[steel stream]

like 19 or 20 why

[steel stream]

technic is baffling, lego engineers are some smart fuckers

[edgy laurel]

I wanna see the software they use today, as i'm sure it exists and does a lot of the work

but what did they do in the 90's??

[steel stream]

we gotta find someone willing to leak trade secrets

[edgy laurel]

the instructions had to be designed too, which is another awesome feat

I'd love to get a deep dive on how official (or unofficial) "sets" are designed

seems like a really neat thing

[steel stream]

I swear I just came across something for it but I can't remember now

[edgy laurel]

https://www.bricklink.com/v3/studio/download.page

oh this is cool as hell

can even generate instructions from a model

[steel stream]

hmm, now I need to find a Thunderjaw model hmmm

[edgy laurel]

they have a marketplace, thats cool. reminds me of 3d printing

but the printer is your hands and existing lego pieces

[clear juniper]

Ive finally gotten my 14700k to consistently boost to 5.7ghz

[edgy laurel]

wait, can you design something and have it spit out a piece list so you can order them? that would be insane

[low sorrel]

so i did the wipe and...

[edgy laurel]

ha you're poor now

[steel stream]

yeah

[low sorrel]

bro im so mad i was playing in a squad and i wiped 3 gooped up people myself because the other 2 had so much gear fear and didn't wanna bring kits

and they took all of the shit before i got anything

[steel stream]

there are tons of places to order bricks too

[low sorrel]

because i was focused on killing people that are shooting us

[steel stream]

damn these sets on here are hella discounted

[low sorrel]

also akn get on arc raiders

[steel stream]

I have to peruse this catalog, perhaps I will purchase a christmas gift

[steel stream]

I gotta go eat sadly

[edgy laurel]

on bricklink? i'm trying to work out what this is exactly

pre-owned official sets?

[merry stirrup]

okay what’s this fuckery about man

2 w11 installs, both newish
one will draw 250w in yc and be slow
the other will draw 280+w in yc and be as fast as you’d expect

y me

[merry stirrup]

both report same effective clock in hwinfo

[steel stream]

yeah pre-owned official sets, usually with the mini-figs and their accesories taken out

[vivid kiln]

That was a thing way back in like 2008... I wonder if they still have it

Maybe Brick link is the replacement for it

[edgy laurel]

that brinklink software looks to do it all

[brave panther]

https://tenor.com/view/arc-raiders-absolute-cinema-absolute-cinema-meme-absolute-arc-cinema-gif-9894281598160272856

[edgy laurel]

yeah it appears to have replaced something called Lego digital designer

[vivid kiln]

That was the one!

I spent a huge amount of time in that

[edgy laurel]

thats really cool

[steel stream]

you can upload just CSVs to the lego store to buy bricks looks like

[fierce fjord]

What the best solution for a physical and over network storage? I installed a big hard drive for capturing video and it filled pretty fast.

[vivid kiln]

Like .... A NAS?

[brave panther]

and pay dollar per brick

[edgy laurel]

get a bigger one, or build a NAS

[steel stream]

they've got a $3 wig

[vivid kiln]

If you make something small, it's expensive. As it gets larger, it becomes affordable

[steel stream]

but seems like a fair enough price

[brave panther]

https://tenor.com/view/sarcasm-sign-quote-gif-10836119

affordable

[edgy laurel]

one day snipping tool will know how to deal with hdr

[vivid kiln]

Affordable in the LTT sense... The plastic quality of LEGO is insane compared to all the other crap toys out there

I'm in the minority group of Americans that prefers to buy nice things once as opposed to trash 50 times

[steel stream]

not in my lifetime probably

[brave panther]

no doubt quality is excelent

[fierce fjord]

Idk. Reason I am asking. I have heard a bit about a nas and thought it was over network. Is there something that isn’t over the network?

[merry stirrup]

finalizing the 265K for daily i think

[vivid kiln]

You can connect to a NAS through a cable

[merry stirrup]

5.4/4.8 9000 c38-52 1.5v

[steel stream]

god damn

[vivid kiln]

Not much point though since local network is typically very fast

[edgy laurel]

Its just a computer with multiple drives. It happens to connect to your PC over your network but thats just a more efficient method vs. a USB cable. What would be the problem?

[steel stream]

also just found out imax has merch

[hoary hatch]

Like IMAX branded swag?

[steel stream]

yeah

[edgy laurel]

the merch we all need. https://hardwareunboxed.com/products/monitorsunboxed-oled

[steel stream]

https://store.imax.com/

[brave panther]

https://tenor.com/view/me-atrapaste-es-cine-its-cinema-cinema-esto-es-cine-gif-17729711691959966457

[fierce fjord]

Thank you for the clarity. Can you access it like a normal drive on your pc?

[turbid locust]

[steel stream]

Needs to have a W in front so people know Im not talking about QD-OLED

[edgy laurel]

sure can

[vivid kiln]

Yes, you "mount it" as a storage drive, just like a flash drive

[wraith steeple]

Oh EthanD is back

[edgy laurel]

true. will hit up Tim now

[wraith steeple]

Been a hot minute

[vivid kiln]

The process for mounting it is different on each OS, but it's really straightforward on Windows

[final pivot]

850w PSU or 1k wat PSU for a 5080 and 9800x3d builld with a oled monitor?

[edgy laurel]

either is plenty

[pure garnet]

the monitor doesn’t use the psu btw

[vivid kiln]

I was told things have... Dramatically improved. So we'll see haha

[steel stream]

idk waht the OLED monitor has to do with the PSU

[steel stream]

someone is lying to you and praying on your downfall

[vivid kiln]

Sweet

[pure garnet]

hey the old at psus had the monitors borrow the same psu

[edgy laurel]

I don't know what the problem was, but I can assure you it hasn't changed.

[final pivot]

alrighty should i stick with the 850? its 89$ compared to 109 for 1k w

[fierce fjord]

Are there any known issue when using a MoCA as that is my current set up

[edgy laurel]

Re-read what I said lol

[pure garnet]

i mean for 20 bucks why not just get the 1k

[edgy laurel]

Does your MoCA setup work?

[vivid kiln]

Yeah, I'll find out soon

[turbid locust]

This reminds me, I should put the ram I stole back in my NAS lol

[edgy laurel]

As in, simply adding a device to the network (most of us have tons of them) is a simple as plugging it in. I'm not entirely sure what you're confused about?

[fierce fjord]

Currently it does work. Just wondering if uploading straight from recording there could be an issue

[final pivot]

sweet

[edgy laurel]

Can you explain a little more what "uploading straight from recording" means?

[fierce fjord]

If I am recording gameplay it goes straight to the nas. My pc is connected to through a moca and I assume I want the nas to be connected to the modem or am I wrong?

[vivid kiln]

Why not just record directly to the NAS as a mounted storage drive? Just change the save location

[edgy laurel]

you'd want the NAS to be wired. However you need to do that withyour setup is up to you. But yes, no Wifi here.

[vivid kiln]

It might be a little odd, but it should work fine

[edgy laurel]

What sort of LAN speeds do you see over this MoCA link? At least 1Gb/s? Not talking about internet download speeds, btw.

[fierce fjord]

Idk but I made sure to buy a really good one. I believe is more than 1gb

[shell void]

@steel stream i found the most radical taiwanese patriot

[raw zinc]

Whats a good logitech mouse?

Logitech G502 HERO High Performance any good

[edgy laurel]

most of them

pick the one that has the features and shape you're looking for

[raw zinc]

im not bothered about the shape but like just a overall good gaming mouse

i was gonna get the superlight but its so expensive

[shell void]

the shape is the most important part

[low sorrel]

buy a superlight copy from aliexpress

[edgy laurel]

yeah see, the problem is there are hundreds of "good" mice. But "good" isn't really much of a defining factor.

[low sorrel]

if you want to save

they use good sensors now aways

anyways

[raw zinc]

The G502 a good one? The shape suits me

[edgy laurel]

sigh

[low sorrel]

sure if you like heavy mice

[raw zinc]

Is it like mad heavy?

[shell void]

it’s heavier than most people want, but otherwise it’s a fine mouse

[raw zinc]

I got the razer deathadder currently0

[edgy laurel]

I truly don't know how to answer that question. what does good mean?

[shell void]

it’s one of the heaviest mice on the market

[low sorrel]

why are you replacing the deathadder anyways

[raw zinc]

the left click is scuffed

but i want to try something new

@low sorrel I got the Deathadder Essential is the V3 Deathadder a good upgrade?

[edgy laurel]

If you like large mice and are ok with 121g (how is my G502x Lighspeed lighter..

[raw zinc]

Just overall nice feel of the mouse

and just long lasting

[low sorrel]

it's a fucking mouse

[edgy laurel]

I get you're looking for help but you have to understand, we don't know what that means to you

i've had to return mice for hand cramps that other people praise

[raw zinc]

nah but they different bro

[edgy laurel]

different how

if you can be specific, we might be able to answer your questions

[raw zinc]

overall feel and how the clicks are and just how they perform in games

[low sorrel]

not since like 2015

[turbid locust]

Can people stop buying that fucking mouse

[edgy laurel]

i'm out. I have no idea how to answer these questions

[turbid locust]

how is it almost 2026 and people are STILL buying G502’s

[raw zinc]

dawg how else do i explain this to you

i want a fast responding mouse with good software and feels comfortable on my hand

and a pretty light mouse

is that better

[low sorrel]

it's like what videogames do you like

[raw zinc]

Shooter games

[low sorrel]

it's all different for different people

[edgy laurel]

First part is nearly every mouse available. Second, a good mouse won't need software outside of initial setup. Third we can't answer that

[young void]

How'd that homemade mouse go Macs?

[turbid locust]

you literally have to buy multiple mice and try them and see if you like them. Nobody here is going to know what feels good in your hand.

[pallid marsh]

I killed one today in my snap trap

[turbid locust]

Uncomfortable for me personally and LOD issues

[raw zinc]

What does Hyperpolling do?

[turbid locust]

Drain battery

[young void]

Barnacles, maybe next revision

[edgy laurel]

lol old pic

[turbid locust]

I’ve owned multiple 8k polling rate mice and not one of them felt better above 1K Hz polling. All anything higher did was drain the battery faster.

[raw zinc]

Is there a huge difference between the deathadder v3 Pro and the normal v3

[turbid locust]

Google-able question, next.

[raw zinc]

real

[edgy laurel]

exactly the same size

[fringe vigil]

i had the 703 i think i returned it

[edgy laurel]

one is slightly heavier (but not by enough anyone would notice)

[raw zinc]

so its not worth the extra money cause the v3 hyperspeed is 89 and the Pro is like 109$

[edgy laurel]

Why not do this. If you have a mouse shape you do like, what is it?

[raw zinc]

literally the mouse shape i like is the deathadder essential i currently have and the deathadder v3 has the same shape

so imma go for this

[raw zinc]

thanks

[tropic idol]

on gumtree a guy is selling a Palit 2070 super, corsair h100i, matx case and an 850w corsair psu for 150 bucks is it worth it?
scrapyard wars typa vibe

[young void]

Still need one of these bad boys when I can just for keks

[raw zinc]

what the fuck is that bro

[young void]

Just let me live xD

[edgy laurel]

If my MX Master dies, I want the MX Ergo for work

that tilt is so comfortable

[turbid locust]

I get this bad boy at work

[edgy laurel]

wrist being flat against the desk is uncomfortable. tilt it like 20 degrees to the right and both the bones in your forearm are straight and it feels so much better

the ergo has that tilt built in

[oak vector]

I wouldn’t mind a fancy Logitech ergo mouse

I have a g502 x or whatever it is just sitting there but I don’t use it

I’ve had a Corsair harpoon rgb for like almost 6 years and I refuse to change haha

[edgy laurel]

G502x Lightspeed is my personal long termer. couldn't be more happy with it, apart from the palm area thats begun to get shiny

[turbid locust]

I switch mice roughly every 6 months to a year not super on purpose

I just like to try stuff and end up finding something I like a lot

[steel stream]

damn man bro is seething over words

[shell void]

it gets better; check dms

XDDDDDD

[oak vector]

Im almost like that with phones
For whatever reason I can’t keep one for longer than a year
It’s like a curse lmao

I’m trying to kick it tho - this 16e was hella expensive lmao

[steel stream]

I will use this superlight till it dies

[turbid locust]

(6 months)

[brave panther]

define dies

[steel stream]

me and this fella are real familiar, the campus PC special

[steel stream]

breaks

[brave panther]

first you will get doubleclick

[turbid locust]

I’ve owned two superlights and both had QC issues within 6 months

[steel stream]

I've had this one for a year and a half I think?

[turbid locust]

Miracle

My first one, scroll gave out. They sent me a new one. That one double clicked/right click kept sticking.

[slim pebble]

Big, huge words from someone who wants the US to defend their right to exist.

[steel stream]

my side grip tape has all fallen off now but it's still a nice mouse

[turbid locust]

I was convinced it was my endgame mouse and then…. Yeah

Now whenever I try to use one it feels like an egg

[brave panther]

i have replaced switches on my mouse before, its not that difficult

[turbid locust]

I am currently on a Pulsar X2 Crazylight

[turbid locust]

I’m aware. I shouldn’t have to do that within 6 months on a $150 mouse though.

[brave panther]

yea lol

[cobalt frigate]

I want the razer naga v2 hyperspeed tbh

[turbid locust]

They let me keep the first one, I replaced it with a Kaihl scroll encoder and some TTC Gold switches. Went well for a bit till I gave it to my brother.

Omron switches are just straight dog ass

[brave panther]

problem is the wetting current is so small it causes extra wear in the micro switches
wasnt an issue on wired mouses where you can draw as much current as you want

[turbid locust]

I went to a Viper V2 Pro after my superlight and daily’d it for awhile. It’s a good backup mouse for me

[cobalt frigate]

Fair, i just want as many side buttons as legally possible

[turbid locust]

Oh yeah idgaf about side buttons at all

If I have two I’m good. I could get by with 0 lol

[brave panther]

mods walk in

[slim pebble]

How are you liking it compared to RPL?

[turbid locust]

The only game I ever used side buttons for was CS

[brave panther]

i use them for push to talk primarily

[turbid locust]

Gimme the sauce CPU side wise

[turbid locust]

CS I had one bound to smoke and one to molly. That’s it

I use Left Alt for push to talk in games

[cobalt frigate]

I use it for work, having cad scripts on the side buttons is so nice

[brave panther]

i use keyboard bind for ptt ingame and mouse "back" button for discord

[turbid locust]

I have my push to talk in game and push to mute discord on the same key so I don’t echo to friends

[brave panther]

what i would really like on g305 is a horizontal scroll

[steel stream]

kinda smart ngl

[turbid locust]

I’m the goat fr

[steel stream]

woah pal I didn't go that far

[turbid locust]

Also if I’m chillin in the VC with the homies nobody wants to hear me making callouts lol

[devout ridge]

4u runs my NAS that acts as an automated backup for my desktop, it also hosts my media files for Plex, the 1u is a MC server host, 2u has yet to be put to use quite yet

i have a UDM aggregation as my top of rack switch, and a 1g switch i got for free that runs all my rj45 based networking

IE management and some lower speed connections to my room and shit

at the very bottom is a 1.5kva UPS that runs everything

[edgy laurel]

i always wondered how streamers handle this kinda thing. talking normally to stream, talking to discord, and talking in game

[brave panther]

do you have a UPS for all that

[steel stream]

I would assume the stream decks no

[devout ridge]

Yep, a chonky 1.5kva UPS

[brave panther]

kinda smol innit

[devout ridge]

got it for 500usd after buying new batteries, MSRP of 1.5kusd

[steel stream]

Also Mac I am now determined to find a solution for mounting an arm on my desk

[devout ridge]

the single greatest deal i have ever found, and i am damn proud of it

some people flex spending money, i prefer flexing saving money

[edgy laurel]

hole saw + grommet mount

[brave panther]

might joink one that "failed" from work and try to repair it

[devout ridge]

99% of the time the battery dies before the control hardware

[steel stream]

yeah I suppose that would be the easiest lol

[devout ridge]

unless you have some catastrophic failure

[brave panther]

threw out overheat warnings so idk

[devout ridge]

Lithium ion or what

lead acid usually doesn’t have a temp sensor

[brave panther]

nah but it is an online unit

[devout ridge]

odd

Lead acid can get toasty when it starts dying iirc

[brave panther]

failed year ago and i havent removed it from rack yet lmao
either i dont have time or i forget

[steel stream]

yeah that'll have to be the way, the frame makes it impossible

[brave panther]

maybe ill do it next week when no one is in the office

[devout ridge]

I recently had to replace the UPS in the lighting network rack at my theatre, total bitch to extract

[cobalt frigate]

If youre fine with sketchy, refurbed tesla batteries…

[devout ridge]

it was in the very bottom of a wall mount rack with zero side or bottom access

and it was very full

[brave panther]

they are on rails so not that bad

[edgy laurel]

hoenstly even my cheap $45 arms come with an optional grommet mount base

[devout ridge]

no rails, direct mount in my case

[brave panther]

yike

[devout ridge]

i refuse to ever not use rails with a UPS now

[steel stream]

yeah I'm sure it's no big deal to find a mic arm mount with that

[devout ridge]

trying to hold a 45lb UPS at chest height with just your finger tips wedged into the rack is a pain i wish upon no one

[steel stream]

I'm jusk sick of having my mic on a little rinky dink tripod

[hoary hatch]

we used to troll jorj with this emote so much back in the day

[devout ridge]

doesn’t help that they installed the screws with a drill, so they were torqued to kingdom come

[edgy laurel]

an arm to get it out of the way when not in use is so nice

plus it sounds better

[devout ridge]

did yall make a server so you could fill it with that one emote?

[steel stream]

yeah looks nicer too

[brave panther]

yea today i got a new brand of ups delivered to test it out in field and supplier didnt include "guide rails"
pissed af rn

[devout ridge]

any rack mount UPS should include rails

[brave panther]

waiting for their response

[devout ridge]

idc if it weighs 3lbs or 50, it needs rails

[brave panther]

as this is very much bullshit

[brave panther]

13 kilos

[hoary hatch]

thats just how many exist man

[devout ridge]

my UPS has an expansion slot, so i’m looking into getting a 2u expansion

rn i can only run for like 13min off battery at like 20% load

20% load on the UPS

about 50-75% loads on the servers

[brave panther]

good idea
batteries have load curve so if you draw 50% less they last 200% longer

[devout ridge]

i might be able to daisy chain expansions, i’ll have to look into that

8u of my 20u just for batteries lol

[brave panther]

they just put batteries in paralel with existing ones

on more expensive units they are independent

[devout ridge]

Not sure what it is in my case

i do have a fancy line interactive unit

[devout ridge]

line interactive was a must for me because my local power grid has really dirty power

[brave panther]

by expensive i mean stuff like apc easy ups 3s or apc galaxy line

[devout ridge]

routine voltage swings of +/-5v

and +/- 1hz

[brave panther]

you need online unit then

line interactive doesent do shit

[devout ridge]

That’s what i have

Wdym online then

[final pivot]

im getting a free cpu cooler with my 9800x3d? isit good or do i buy the one i have in my cart

[devout ridge]

take the free gift

[edgy laurel]

if its free, its always better

[devout ridge]

i would hardly complain about a free 240mm aio

[edgy laurel]

ok well thats not true but in this case it is

[final pivot]

imjust worried about the air pockets since its a AIO

[brave panther]

online= double conversion

[edgy laurel]

so just install it correctly

[steel stream]

jeez

[final pivot]

so take the free aio? and get rid of the one in my cart?

[edgy laurel]

isn't that what we both said?

free is free

[brave panther]

hard to believe, hz is synced to national grid and no way they have 59hz

[devout ridge]

Ah then i just have figure 2

[devout ridge]

I’ve had lighting professionals out for some issues i have with my lighting instruments in my theater, that’s what they said it was like

voltage i’ve seen myself, frequency i’m going off their word

[hoary hatch]

Okay my laptop is laggy on battery, cursor randomly disappears in light mode, and the windows install is 3-4 years old

Time for a windows reinstall

[steel stream]

stick a multimeter into the wall and find out

[steel stream]

dual boot linux on it

on one drive

[brave panther]

i have essentially that but over modbus

[hoary hatch]

No it has an Nvidia gpu

Also I rarely use it

[brave panther]

i also have them in datacenter monitoring power

[merry stirrup]

in terms of?

[merry stirrup]

very very very temp sensitive

you may see stability increases/the ability to run a higher clock if you disable undervolt protection and run a slight negative voltage offset

haven’t utilized this myself but noticed it experimenting in yc

[turbid locust]

ugh

[merry stirrup]

55x wouldn’t do more than 1 or 2 iterations but if i did 55x and -35 it would consistently do like 5

w/same or slightly higher test speed as previous

[fringe vigil]

[edgy laurel]

that is far too big for such a small desk

[steel stream]

was about to say

[merry stirrup]

my config is literally so much faster than any chip i can find on ocn

[steel stream]

desk needs to be like 2 feet deeper

[merry stirrup]

i see 285K’s getting 1.20 in VT3 with 9266 mem

brother i am getting 1.4

[steel stream]

damn

[merry stirrup]

i have a 4 ecore deficit and i’m consistently faster than every 285K i see so far

even 265’s

[steel stream]

bro is crushing it

[turbid locust]

bro might have pat bin

[indigo tree]

@edgy laurel Gonna format my floppy disk as exfat

[merry stirrup]

pretty sure you said jia thought i had a 285K 💀💀

or was it nep

[turbid locust]

it was nep lmao

[merry stirrup]

i might be faster than him

@nova onyx you are summoned

https://tenor.com/view/bop-bop-bop-shoebody-bop-squad-summon-dark-magic-gif-13983602502478731881

[merry stirrup]

i need to make sure these guys on ocn aren’t brain dead or something

[nova onyx]

Skymont doesn't too much in ycruncher iirc

In terms of scoring

[merry stirrup]

hmm okie

[fringe vigil]

he clearly sits back

but yh it is

[turbid locust]

so his P cores are just cracked

[nova onyx]

Fuck if I know

[turbid locust]

What do you fuckin know asshat

[merry stirrup]

at 5.2/4.8 i was getting 1.38 10^10 in yc,
at 5.4/4.8 i was getting 1.42

16.236 1b score at 5.2/4.8

[turbid locust]

What does this stack up to on hwbot

[merry stirrup]

not high up on the leaderboards but faster than people +200mhz (p) than me

[turbid locust]

how tf

[merry stirrup]

can also just be mem idk if these people are running 9k

but people on ocn are

[turbid locust]

hmmm

cracked ram fs

[merry stirrup]

well this isnt cracked at all

im at default rfc and 32768 refi

im running 🚮

it could be ring i guess, most peopple here are running 38x and im at 40

idk how thats making such a big swing tho normally its kinda useless

idk maybe ocf is insane sauce

also, @nova onyx 3.14 seems to be pretty goated so far, doesnt have the stupid pl4/throttling issue thats plagued most bioses

one guy on the forum said it was trash but it seems to be just fine

[oak vector]

Bro has Taichi while I have chai tea

[hoary hatch]

Tea tea

[pure garnet]

faster than my x3d lmfao

[pure garnet]

ping fail ^

[indigo tree]

Oh shit! I just found out the set of lenses I got for my phone with a clip on thing fit on my Mavica...

[turbid locust]

OCF auto’s tRFC tight af

[merry stirrup]

not faster than mine

12c x3d+8k mem was p good

[pure garnet]

im sure i can do more but

my 1b run was kinda foghorn

[merry stirrup]

trust me compared to what i have actually saved in benchmate that result looks sand bagged

[pure garnet]

this chip embarassing the mpower lineup 😭

[turbid locust]

I mean you literally have freq nerfed cores

[merry stirrup]

the result i have saved on the trash mem is more than entire second faster

[turbid locust]

bro

[merry stirrup]

bro?

[pure garnet]

yeah but it's not even like

an average score that thing

22 seconds stinky

[merry stirrup]

mac i command you to run yc

same settings i have in that screenshot

[shell void]

@devout ridge aura

[turbid locust]

mac is eepy

[merry stirrup]

augh fair it’s late for you kinda

late for employed people

[turbid locust]

I mean we ball hop in the call

WAIT

[merry stirrup]

on da phone with my wife :dies:

oh why didn’t my nitro resub

[slim pebble]

Performance, overclocking, memory speed, and gaming?

[turbid locust]

z890 ain’t even on the bench rn

[oak vector]

my nitro runs out in like 3 days but I can’t be bothered to pay for it

[shell void]

it auto renews cuz wym bother to pay for it

[neon token]

i assume they means he doesnt want to spend the money 😛

[oak vector]

I only buy nitro when I feel baller

I don’t feel baller rn

[merry stirrup]

performance wise its quite similar to a max tuned RPL config, but it really depends on what you do, multicore its just a straight wipe, at least if you were comparing i7 to u7, this chip is faster than my 139000KS at 5.9/4.5 (ht off tho) in yc by a pretty large margin

overclocking is quite incredible but really only on the mem side, core ocs daily are pretty laxed and similar to ryzen, maybe 200-400mhz tops on any part of the cpu

[oak vector]

139000ks my beloved

[slim pebble]

NVL, I’m already pining for you.

[merry stirrup]

memory speeds are incredible, seems that the lower end samples end up at 8600, but mine does a pretty insane 9133 g2 (when it feels like it ig) but 9000 g2 is actually consistent

[slim pebble]

That’s fantastic!

[merry stirrup]

9266 is the highest i can boot and i havent tried g4 yet but i plan to do a 10k 2 dimm attempt

9000 C36-52 is the current most absurd config i have validated

[shell void]

WE need it so badly

[oak vector]

Hahaha

[merry stirrup]

cant wait to give my 52 cores 32GB of ddr5 memory

[oak vector]

[shell void]

the rational choice is single big cache tile but i want 100K+ R23

[neon token]

I would say buy more RAM...but..maybe don't

[slim pebble]

Inshallah

[slim pebble]

Oh no’s You’ll just have to settle for a workstation class productivity chip without cache that probably gets the same 4K FPS as a cache chip.

[shell void]

hopium for dual tile big cache

[turbid locust]

what’s the 52 core config supposed to be

Intel be like 8p/44e

[topaz veldt]

lol

[oak vector]

13 core i7 6700s

[oak vector]

Haha yeah close enough lmao

[topaz veldt]

Its 16p-32e-4-LPE @turbid locust

[pure garnet]

6p+44e+2xs

[shell void]

the compute tiles are 8p16e with either 36MB or 144MB of L3

[topaz veldt]

aka it'll do cinebench but hopefully the p-cores aren't total ass

[oak vector]

That’s not too shabby

[topaz veldt]

16 p-core non SMT kinda ass

[oak vector]

Oh

[topaz veldt]

This when Zen6 supposed to be 16 full core CCDs

so we'll see I guess

[shell void]

12 core with zen 6

so it's 8p16e24t versus 12p24t

[topaz veldt]

I think 12 and 16 are still not confirmed last I read

[shell void]

yeah all that amd has publicly confirmed is that theyre using tsmc n2

all leakers agree on 12 cores per ccd but we shall see

[topaz veldt]

NVL needs a huge IPC uplift and massive IMC improvement

[merry stirrup]

15.0X seconds @turbid locust

[turbid locust]

[merry stirrup]

quite decent

thats w/ everything

shit mem got 15.2 even

[shell void]

brrrr

[merry stirrup]

not quite faster than the scary KS but it has a core deficit its fine

the KS was also killing itself during those runs so i mean

[shell void]

7s on nvl? o_o

[merry stirrup]

that was 5.6 w/ a 25mv offset cause i was touching throttling

[merry stirrup]

should be

[shell void]

twice as many cores + avx512

[merry stirrup]

assuming interconnect isnt massively fucked and bottlenecks the mem

[topaz veldt]

it'll be 25 seconds

160 GB/s but 120ns

[merry stirrup]

lol

[merry stirrup]

lol not sure

[edgy laurel]

its a stock that increases RoF

anyway put it in your butt

[wraith steeple]

going for 103

that's 5.2 even

[steel stream]

hold on lemme think

9996?

[edgy laurel]

no. i looked it up and still don't get it

i tried 9996, 6669

i couldn't get anything else from that clue

but it was 2909

no idea how I was supposed to get that

[fringe vigil]

[steel stream]

my first thought was 99910 but that does not make sense

[fringe vigil]

loot is prob shit

[edgy laurel]

its part of a quest. the new quest they added

[edgy laurel]

yeah man i dunno

most of the time these little door puzzles take 30 seconds of thinking and you're in

this one wasn't so straight forward

[steel stream]

does the guide say anything about it or jsut obviously its 2909

[edgy laurel]

what I found just gave me the answer. I'll have to look again in a minute for something that explains it better lol

[fringe vigil]

oh

[pure garnet]

@merry stirrup at 103 it shut off and has yet to come back on

[merry stirrup]

oh god

[pure garnet]

[merry stirrup]

sheeesh same 💀

bro

karhu guy announced 2.0 alpha

in the fucking general chat and not announcements

[pure garnet]

rip that drex dude

[merry stirrup]

this mf has mere hours

why would you not put this in your announcements

[pure garnet]

@merry stirrup 21.679s

send me a screenshot or picture of your settings

[pure garnet]

https://hwbot.org/benchmarks/y-cruncher_-_pi-1b/submissions/5944219

[merry stirrup]

ah

skill issue i see

set the workload to comet lake

or my bad cannon lake

it says avx 512 in it

[pure garnet]

why not zen 4

[merry stirrup]

slower idk

[pure garnet]

yeah 2s slower

[merry stirrup]

copy mine

[steel stream]

bro whattttt

[merry stirrup]

i think memory allocator to windows thread pool also might be faster

[steel stream]

what if karhu 2 is just dogshit

[merry stirrup]

no it’s the other one not memory allocator

try use memory mapping too

[merry stirrup]

intel is generally better at making software optimizations so using their optimizations for their cpus on amd cpus can be faster

priority high instead of realtime helped on my 265 so also try that

[pure garnet]

0.2 slower for numa

i have a 20.6 banked rn

[merry stirrup]

not bad

[pure garnet]

16th place

for 7800x3d now

on the dinkleberg bin

[merry stirrup]

not bad not bad

cannon lake is ez sauce

[pure garnet]

16th place with discord open sob

[merry stirrup]

for future reference look at the wr for whatever chip and copy their settings

[pure garnet]

im at 102.5 bclk rn

i can't do low cos though

[merry stirrup]

super sad

[pure garnet]

okay yeah that's my best

i just full on crashed mid run

https://hwbot.org/benchmarks/y-cruncher_-_pi-1b/submissions/5944221 not a bad sub though

[merry stirrup]

can’t say that’s bad at all

[pure garnet]

considering this mac bin is unstable for daily at -20 and 2133 fclk

that is pretty damn good

also if u know the ad that wallpaper is from

[merry stirrup]

does not spark joy

i shotgunned the fuck out of these settings bro it could liddely be anything between cpu and memory

[frank cypress]

someone convince me that I don't need it

[merry stirrup]

just click the send message button bro

anotha one

[frank cypress]

numba 7

[steel stream]

the quad 80Tis must be achieved

[frank cypress]

I bought long bus psu so now I just need muh china cooler

[merry stirrup]

sell my homie one of your air cooled ones

he got ripped off mad hard on a 3080 from ebay and had to return it

seller was not a great description person

[steel stream]

some dude today bought a 4090 for 1K and ended up with no vram or core, sell him a 2080 ti

[merry stirrup]

1/3 fans work at 45% speed lol

[frank cypress]

I might go sell some of mine after I do the quad 2080ti funny

so lmk then

I think shipping n tariffs kill it tho

[steel stream]

get pics, get benches and dip tf out 🐐

[merry stirrup]

and whenever the other 2 that normally don’t work spin they go full blast if they do spin genuinely terrible

[frank cypress]

real

[merry stirrup]

so real.

[steel stream]

Mac knows all about this except he hoards everything

[merry stirrup]

also i don’t need to make these dimms naked

i discovered that i had the wrong fan header at max and my ram fan was at a static like 40% for some reason

44c max hurray

Yo mama needs to change her wallpaper

I wanna go Oled so bad, I just can’t justify the price rn

[steel stream]

you can get 1440p 240Hz+ for like $400 US

[autumn rain]

My wallet is recovering from a 5090 rn sadly

[steel stream]

ah

yeah you need an oled

[autumn rain]

Yeah I’ll pick one up eventually

[fervent chasm]

yah $400-450 without any deals

[steel stream]

5090 please go 4K

[hoary hatch]

please tell me you arent 5090 + 4:3 dell found off the side of the highway

[autumn rain]

But my FRAMES

[edgy laurel]

worse, 5090 + 1440p

[fervent chasm]

im in the middle of migrating

I moved my 1440p display to my new pc

but im still using the old one

[remote mirage]

god forbid a man is house rich with his gpu

Absolutely insane

[edgy laurel]

just as insane as a 5090 @ 1440p. poor thing barely comes off idle

[steel stream]

If I ran my 5070 Ti with a 1080p I would have put myself down

[autumn rain]

I paid for 180fps, I’m getting the full 180 lol

[remote mirage]

I run my i9 13900k+4090 at 1440p

[fervent chasm]

the 3070ti keeps up pretty well with time, I just got my gf that 1440p 240hz display and games a lot of times hit that peak

[hoary hatch]

i upgraded my 1080ti twice by upgrading other stuff
First was going 1080p60 -> 1440p165
second was ryzen 2700x -> 12700k

[edgy laurel]

ok sure but at such a low resolution thats all on your CPU while such a fast GPU just sits around waiting

[fervent chasm]

twins

[remote mirage]

you can get 360 at 2k with a 4090 in a lot of games

[hoary hatch]

F SKU 🤮

[edgy laurel]

2k mentioned. @hoary hatch hold me back

[autumn rain]

I mean it generally is under full load. I mostly play story AAA stuff or like Monster Hunter Wilds

I’m just so used to hearing 1440p that 2k is a bit bewildering to see

[steel stream]

you right you right

touche man, touche

[hoary hatch]

no dimension of 2560x1440 is close to 2000

2560 rounds to 3k, 1440 rounds to 1k

[fervent chasm]

look in between

[remote mirage]

are you an engineer

[hoary hatch]

when we use "k", we use it to refer to the long edge of a display

[remote mirage]

oh gotcha right

yes of course

[fervent chasm]

then this should be 3.84k

[hoary hatch]

no, i am simply pedantic as fuck and have time to waste

[steel stream]

it rounds man

[autumn rain]

Yeah that’s always bothered me lol

[remote mirage]

wow dude that’s so tuff

[edgy laurel]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2K_resolution

/thread

[fervent chasm]

2560 rounds to 2k if you round down

[hoary hatch]

1920x1080 is close enough to 2000 on the long edge we refer to it as 2K

[fervent chasm]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[steel stream]

man you are bad at math

[hoary hatch]

you can get a proper DCI 4K monitor if 3840 feels bad to you

[remote mirage]

i like hotwheels

[fervent chasm]

huh? rounding down from 2560 isnt 2000?

[steel stream]

https://tenor.com/view/morgan-freeman-hes-right-you-know-correct-true-right-gif-27174315

oh my god are we having another 1440=2k convo this week

just buy a real adult res

[edgy laurel]

Amen

[hoary hatch]

i think its my third time today

[autumn rain]

Another 2k has hit the tech chat

[edgy laurel]

1440p is only suitable for my side vertical monitor

and its cramped.

[fervent chasm]

my 1080p and 1440p displays are the exact same size i think

[hoary hatch]

bro what the fuck thats awful

[pure garnet]

when i drag a window from my 4k monitor to my 1440p monitor i get sad bc it's all pixely again

[fervent chasm]

i just realized while I was looking at it, I never noticed because they are not the same height (from the table)

[edgy laurel]

just ban the use of "xK" in general for PC display resolution talk

[remote mirage]

is this enough fps for casual gaming or should i buy more

[hoary hatch]

it is acceptable if they have a DCI 4K monitor

[autumn rain]

I mean most people understand what you mean when you say 4k but I agree with the sentiment

[hoary hatch]

also I think UHD 4K and UHD 8K do mean specific resolutions

[pure garnet]

is bro flexing an empty cs server

[fervent chasm]

[steel stream]

I think you could have one or more streams pulled open

[edgy laurel]

[steel stream]

I just put a second 4K tv in my room so that shit's gonna be sweet

[steel stream]

[hoary hatch]

[edgy laurel]

ahh another one that turned out nice (stopped playing that game too)

[hoary hatch]

do people still play BF6 multiplayer

[steel stream]

you gotta play ghost of tsushima

[hoary hatch]

is it too late to get on the BF6 train

[edgy laurel]

i know, its forever on my wishlist. if only i stopped playing games i've already played...

[steel stream]

no idea tbh and I have the game

[steel stream]

I am currently playing D2 rn so I can't blame you...

[pure garnet]

[steel stream]

I've relapsed hard

[pure garnet]

my goal for winter break was to finish a AAA game, i haven’t started any

[steel stream]

clocks ticking

[hoary hatch]

oof

[edgy laurel]

didn't finish this either

[hoary hatch]

I was never gonna do that

[pure garnet]

yeah but my 2013 mmo

[hoary hatch]

I need to finish horizon but I am still grinding resources

[steel stream]

I just want something to play while listening to music

I guess I can start dead space

[edgy laurel]

rule #1 is no lights on

(i didn't finish that either)

[steel stream]

I just always play with no lights on tbh

[wraith steeple]

[steel stream]

I hate horror games so we will see how this goes

[edgy laurel]

not as much as 5nail, evidently

[steel stream]

I might be a little better but not much

[hoary hatch]

same, but I don't even start them

don't even do zombies

[steel stream]

I am just playing because it's apparently one of the best HDR implementations

or best games to play on OLED I should say

[edgy laurel]

yeah

[hoary hatch]

ghost of tsushima good? TIL its from the infamous studio

[edgy laurel]

when I played that I was a default because I didnt know any better gamer

[steel stream]

damn I can't even DLSS override dead space

[hoary hatch]

I need to get my HDR tuned on windows

[steel stream]

Yeah I really enjoyed it, just a cool setting and there are just some beautiful moments throughout the story in the battle/duels

I do wanna play Dead space on my g5

[shut elm]

should I get oled monitors (I currently have 2 ips monitors)

[pure garnet]

if you want

[edgy laurel]

😆

we could spend an hour glazing OLED's (as we do routinely) and someone will pop in randomly and ask that

[shut elm]

thing is I just spent all my budget on a 5090

[pure garnet]

the response to all “should i do x” is just “if you want”

[edgy laurel]

yeah

[pure garnet]

if you don’t have money then don’t buy it idk man

[edgy laurel]

what else is there to say to such a no context question

[pure garnet]

if you got money and want it go for it

[edgy laurel]

and to ask it knowing you don't have the budget for said thing.. why even ask to begin with

[pure garnet]

i enjoy my $170 tv and can’t afford a g5 rn, should i buy one anyway

[shut elm]

christmas is coming up and relatives are giving money

[steel stream]

ok yeah no dead space tonight

I'll wait till it's daytime

looks great though!

[edgy laurel]

damn

what happened that quickly!?

[steel stream]

I got chased down a dark hallway by creepy things

[robust bough]

These things work any good ?

[edgy laurel]

LMAO

[steel stream]

Im good man

that'll be for another day

[edgy laurel]

the NOPE point of no return

[steel stream]

mhmm

[steel stream]

I haven't used these personally, I recommend just buying a case that has magsafe already, but I am sure these are cheap and you can just try it out

[heavy mantle]

just got a 2ds ahh

🥹

exact same size as a normal og 3ds ooo

[dawn plover]

Real asf

[brisk jolt]

“idk should I”
Idk, should you?

[random flame]

Damn, now there's an old innovation in the optical sector I never knew of.
https://www.extremetech.com/computing/159245-new-optical-laser-can-increase-dvd-storage-up-to-one-petabyte

And it's from 12 years ago and never got used or recognized since.

I wonder if that tech could potentially be salvageable in some way...

[dapper junco]

I mean tape storage is still going strong today, I think there will be use for this, but its probably gonna be as niche as modern tape storage

[neon token]

Anyone have recommendations on an internal card to add front panel USB C to my computer? I have the connector on my case for it, but my ASUS B550 ROG Strix WiFi II sadly doesnt have the header. Most of the PCIe cards im finding seem....sus

To clarify its USB Gen32x2 i believe on the NZXT H9 Flow

[livid flame]

Very few cases support the additional usb c due to lack of 5.25 bays (where fractal pop is great for that). Unless you’re just lacking internal connection to existing usb c on the case from your mobo?

[neon token]

Im just lacking the interal connection on my MOBO (it has thunderbolt but no USBC). The case already has the connector on the front panel

[livid flame]

Anything from Amazon will do. It’s all the same stuff made in China just rebranded

I think you need to have a 4x PCIe slot available to make max use of it

Like I’ve only got 1x on my expansion slots which does my Ethernet card but not worth it for anything else tbh

[neon token]

That was most of my concern/confusion. Most of the cards I've seen are X1 which doesn't have the bandwidth for Gen32x2

[signal timber]

I didn't understand 99% of that but thank you

[neon token]

Big UPS that powers alot of things for a bit when power goes out 🙂

[signal timber]

I get that I didn't understand 99% of what he said B4 that

[neon token]

O.

I'll let them break that part down if they wish 😛 I understand 99% of it but don't want to miscontrue their setup.

I should really stop blind replying to people

[low sorrel]

@wise bear bro I'm depressed now I was talking to a friend and I showed them my tiny ass room and I got roasted so bad that my entire room is black and white

And the only two clothes I own that aren't a form of gray scale is a navy blue and a light blue shirt 😭

I only have grayscale apparently

"your room looks like a 1920s silent film"

[steady wraith]

well

[livid flame]

Could be worse Jerry. You could have a room that looks like a crack den from Breaking Bad

[narrow gate]

Well black and white theme isnt bad

[merry stirrup]

pretty slow for cs

[merry stirrup]

it’s like stocks except you’re a nerd

[humble token]

Is Intel core i9 12900k good for $200?

[edgy laurel]

I’d have to experience that in person. Can’t setup, I didn’t realize it was a desk at first glance. Thought that was a coffee table and was more confused.

[arctic bronze]

Its not bad
