Guys 9060xt or wait for asus b770?

Lowkey dont wanna spend 400€ for a gpu

[brave panther]

No arc for you

[brisk jolt]

oh dear, hope they gws

[low sorrel]

No arc for you

I'm still mad about the lag

[brisk jolt]

that 3060 must be having the time of its life doing 4K

mustfeellikedrivingashitbox

[low sorrel]

It's fine

Dlss performance we trust

[brisk jolt]

[low sorrel]

Oh I didn't die to lag I died because embarks server shit themselves

And lagged me out

[proven saddle]

the ram lays for some heat from the GPU

[brisk jolt]

theres nothing except psu on the other side

[proven saddle]

so still building it?

[brisk jolt]

I’ve 2 options but 1 has little chance of happening

[crimson widget]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1362411507027021899/1366790760392949771/speed.gif

[proven saddle]

i wana know the options : )

[brisk jolt]

265k/270k+b860i or transfer 7600x b650

[proven saddle]

uff i hope you choose the right one ( this power is out of my range but in yours )

[brisk jolt]

if 270k launches for a stupid price Ill just grab another price reduced 265k

i should probably put the panel back on

[proven saddle]

huh did intel stop with the numbers?

[brisk jolt]

?

270k is a upcoming arrowlake refresh chip

[proven saddle]

normaly i see like 14900k or so

[brisk jolt]

no new naming scheme

[proven saddle]

15270k?

[brisk jolt]

no

scrap the first two numbers

back to the hundreds now

[proven saddle]

like the i5 750?

had that cpu

till halloween i had that cpu

this year

[proven saddle]

back to the Future?

[brittle trellis]

No, drop the i entirely. The naming changed

[wraith steeple]

We're making it out of Milpitas, Cali with this one

[burnt socket]

I need that to replace my psu...

[tranquil finch]

so do you have the Gog galaxy Launcher?

[brisk jolt]

sf750 goat

[narrow gate]

Broski saved my picture

[quaint gazelle]

If I have b550 with 32gb ddr4 and 5600x is the best value upgrade I can do just get a 5800x3d or is it worth upgrading mobo and ram as well and get a newer CPU?

[narrow gate]

5800x3d is eol so its very overpriced

If u can get it for dirt cheap sure but thats gonna be nearly impossible

[wraith steeple]

I don't deny the allegations

[quaint gazelle]

So better to upgrade the whole kit then?

[narrow gate]

Yep

[green marsh]

for a price of 5800x3d on used market you get a whole 7600x build with 16GB of overpriced DDR5

[turbid locust]

merry chrimmis or whateva

[devout ridge]

merry holidays

[wraith steeple]

HOLY FUCK! This right here made my Christmas, alone

[burnt socket]

my christmas present is being alive

[turbid locust]

Yooooo lemme know how it is I’ve been thinking about getting one. I’ve been using my trusty wired 360 Xplorer for like 10 years lol (still not good at the game)

Sidenote I’ve received a direct order from the boss to drink beer at 9:30am

[wraith steeple]

Will do! I'm shocked that my family (mind you, they have little knowledge on Clone Hero) managed to cop one of the best CH guitar controllers you can buy. I do remember Acai giving it high praises

[turbid locust]

Yeah they’re meant to be pretty good, him and some of the guys that were making custom guitars are working with CRKD and Red Octane

[wraith steeple]

Left is a Wii Les Paul (what I've been using on Clone Hero), Center is the new one, and right was for the PS3 that came with World Tour

Wii Les Paul is what comes with GH III and Aerosmith

[turbid locust]

Noice

[green marsh]

i got a direct order from a boss to disconnect from the last standup call and enjoy the holiday season and mandatory end of year vacation. and no overtime

[turbid locust]

I’m just saying you know your boss is based asf when you’re on call for Christmas and he’s telling you to have a beer lmao

Unironically though having a great boss is the most underrated thing on the planet

[green marsh]

me waiting for dumb computer parts in january

(yet another china screwdriver on the way)

important one is this tho

[mild sandal]

Can't believe I missed this bait

[turbid locust]

This looks hilarious

[green marsh]

but it works. You can put an NVMe SSD into a mPCIe slot (PCi-E 2.0 x1). Sure, it will be limited in speed, but it uses an othewise unused mPCIe slot (well, unless you count an outdated WiFi card as good use), and with help of rEFInd USB drive, you can boot from it. That frees up the 4 SATA connectors for other drives

[shell void]

bot replying to a bot

twitter in 2025

[vestal granite]

yeah nah internet's dead need a new one

[shell void]

80% bots and/or ragebait grifting

[vestal granite]

isnt china making a new arpanet alternative thing

is that like an open beta or pre-order or whats up with that

[steel stream]

no idea

[keen wigeon]

Coffee

[quaint gazelle]

I need 32gb

[pure garnet]

so buy 32gb then

santa claus forgot to put a 5090 under the tree

[steel stream]

tragic

the shortage must be affecting the elves too

[pure garnet]

i did get the b850 mpower under the tree though

[steel stream]

it is acceptable

[shell void]

santa put an apple watch under my tree which surprised me

[steel stream]

oh my

what series?

[shell void]

a black series 11

idk how much utility ill get out of this, but it's pretty

[pure garnet]

i need a new apple watch

i have a series 4 with a cooked battery

[shell void]

dam that's archaic

[pure garnet]

which replaced my series 0

[shell void]

youre an og watcher

this is my first one, idk how to use it

[steel stream]

the strat is to wear it like an ankle monitor

[pure garnet]

yeah i’ve had a smart watch of some sort for at least a decade

[steel stream]

I had a series 3, then an SE, and now I am on a series 6

[shell void]

do yall sleep with these jawns on

[pure garnet]

no

[steel stream]

I do yeah

[pure garnet]

mine doesn’t even last 12 hours

[steel stream]

I sleep with earplugs so the alarm feature is awesome

[shell void]

i feel like itll piss me off to sleep with but ill try

[pure garnet]

it has like

76% battery health left

[shell void]

better than i expected for a 2018 tbh

[edgy laurel]

i stopped wearing my apple watch. I originally only cared so I could get notifications but i started hating the idea of being so easily distracted and it buzzing continually at work

i probably should have just taken Teams and Outlook off of it

[pure garnet]

75%, just checked

[steel stream]

yeah I set mine up to be only text messages and calls, so just my important stuff

[pure garnet]

no cycle count visible

[edgy laurel]

yeah, just personal things. probably for the best

btw for those who don't know, disco elysium is todays free game on epic.

[pure garnet]

i just don’t have any work stuff on my phone

if it’s super critical they can text me but i’m not keeping an inbox on my phone

[steel stream]

perks of being a student employee is that I am not super critical

[green marsh]

the point was that 5800x3d now costs more than 9800x3d

[edgy laurel]

5800x3D can cost whatever the seller wants it to cost, its years out of production

[mild sandal]

Let me cope man

Oh and Merry Christmas everyone

[shell void]

what are you wanting? the B770?

if it's coming out then we'll see it at CES

[civic reef]

Hopefully

I am dying to see that card

[shell void]

the Arc Pro B70 or whatever theyre calling that is definitely coming out, ive seen it in shipping manifests

BMG-G31 32GB and 64GB

[civic reef]

Maybe it's the Pro equivalent to the B770 :3?

[shell void]

yeh that's what it is

B770 and Pro B70 (or whatever they call the pro card) both use the BMG-G31 gpu

[mild sandal]

Not the gpu per say, but more competition

[civic reef]

Oh yay

So Intel is getting some extra pieces to compete with NVidia and AMD :3

[hoary hatch]

B770 would be too little too late

B70 32gb would make sense

[turbid locust]

I have the opposite issue. I wear my Apple Watch so I know it’s my personal phone, since I have a separate work phone. My work phone always has its ringer on, and my personal is always on vibrate, so it’s good to have an extra form of knowing if someone’s trying to contact my personal.

[hoary hatch]

64gb?
Is G31 512bit?

Following from alchemist, I would expect 256 bit

[turbid locust]

I used to track my sleep and use silent alarms back when I was getting up at 4:30am most days.

The silent alarms were clutch. I never woke anyone up

[mild sandal]

I need a missile alert to wake up. Lucky

[turbid locust]

I usually do too but it’s kinda hard to not wake up from something vibrating on your wrist

[brisk jolt]

its gonna be in one weird spot in the market for sure

[turbid locust]

My series 10 I got last year-ish lasts like 2 days per charge

But i usually just throw it on the charger when I get home from work anyway

[hoary hatch]

I'd expect a solid 2 days without sleep tracking

[turbid locust]

2 days was with sleep

[hoary hatch]

Oh nice

[turbid locust]

I basically charged every other day

[shell void]

it's 256bit

32GB in single gpu clamshell config, 64GB for B70 Dual

[hoary hatch]

Ahhh B70 dual

[shell void]

it's 32 Xe2 & 256bit

60% more cores than a B580 and 300W TGP

[hoary hatch]

Okay yeah checks out
I wasn't thinking about another dual variant

[shell void]

should be ~400mm like A770 was

the dual gpu clamshell cards will be cool to see

[hoary hatch]

Refactor to 18A

😈

[shell void]

Xe3 gpu on Intel 3 when?

they demonstrated they can do it with the little panther lake gpu tile

[hoary hatch]

CES kek

not a full GPU but close enough

It's certainly a proof of concept thing

[shell void]

need muh big Xe4 desktop card made with 18A

i need that reticle sized Xe4 gpu intel

[steel stream]

oh that's smart

[turbid locust]

@shell void @merry stirrup bro hwbot mfs crack me up #797667936578830356 message

[shell void]

10 minutes of memtesting rofl

i guess if youre only going for bench stable then sure

[turbid locust]

“Yeah looks good”

[pure garnet]

if the submission ships it’s stable

👍

[turbid locust]

Bro Kyoko it’s worse than we thought btw

The team USA folks were begging some people with 14900K’s and 5090s to submit some 3D Mark scores for country cup right

competition ends in like 3 days

My subs got deleted because I didn’t use the right wallpaper

[shell void]

i mean i could do that but i assume they mean xoc

[turbid locust]

Nah even ambient

[pure garnet]

LMFAO

[steel stream]

broooo what

[pure garnet]

nah i just read that rule last might

[steel stream]

what wallpaper do you have to use lol

[pure garnet]

competition subs need to use the provided wallpaper

[turbid locust]

The country cup 2025 wallpaper

[shell void]

the grind in the forge doesnt stop

[turbid locust]

I forgot cause I was benching my daily OS lmao

[turbid locust]

Mike wtf lol

[pure garnet]

is it just 1 to join hwbot

[turbid locust]

Think so

[pure garnet]

i mean i have 3 valid subs now so

i guess i can join

[turbid locust]

You should be good

[shell void]

making good use of my tuned max spec pc

[turbid locust]

100%

I decided to install Titanfall 2 on a whim last night and was surprised it made my 5090 occasionally hit 230W with a 138fps cap

[frank cypress]

merry Chrysler folks

[shell void]

hola

[frank cypress]

or happy holidays if you dont do christmas

[steel stream]

merry christmas ennui

did santa leave you a 2080 ti under the tree

[wraith steeple]

Update: Yeah this thing is fucking amazing! It's going to take some time getting used to this new controller, but extremely great first impressions

[frank cypress]

20 kg of fent 🎅

/s

[steel stream]

Looks sick asf Bass 🙏

[pure garnet]

oh mac can you send me another invite

[turbid locust]

We can run some multiplayer sometime if you want lol

[frank cypress]

ooooo

[pure garnet]

the old one expired

[steel stream]

if only, if only

[steel stream]

hmm I wonder what it does for a 70 Ti

[devout ridge]

Got a record player for christmas, very satisfied thus far, just need to grab some RCA cables so i can connect it to my room sound system

[dry flame]

Can someone dm me I need help picking out my parts

[devout ridge]

#1106613567966429224

[steel stream]

oh hell yeah that's sweet

[shell void]

frickin awesomesauce brother iroh

[pure garnet]

@turbid locust oh i cooked myself i have to use my unrelated hwbot name as my name in there

[shell void]

the forge is getting a big update in 40 minutes

[turbid locust]

I’m in the stage of life where nobody really buys me anything for Christmas because if I want something I just buy it 💀

[turbid locust]

LOL

[shell void]

i stopped asking for stuff at like 17

[turbid locust]

Same ish probably

[devout ridge]

Only vinyl i got so far is the Foo fighters greatest hits, but i'll probably pick up some more from a local vinyl shop

first time ever listening to a vinyl record, and i must say, i get it

[steel stream]

good old underwear and socks every year 🙏

[shell void]

muehehehe

38 minutes spectacular

[steel stream]

I want to get a record player, but I don't have space in my room lol

[devout ridge]

I set it ontop of my audio receiver

I have 4 channel surround sound in my bedroom, and it's all run through the main receiver

[pure garnet]

the apple developer framework haunting me

[steel stream]

oh that's fucking sick, I've just got stereo atm

[pure garnet]

i mean i couldn’t get kyoko anyway some other dude has it

[steel stream]

I did get a decent bit of cash, so maybe I buy a record player and some KEF speakers

[devout ridge]

My parents had surround sound at an older home, they ended up not using in their current house, so i figured i'd make use of it

4 channel surround sound system with receiver for the grand ole price of free.99

They're quite old speakers and reciever, but they're still far better than any soundbar i've experienced

[pure garnet]

i got given funds to buy the mpower

[vestal granite]

yall ever shave your face and then you look like a pale alien goblin creature for a day or two until your skin gets its color back

[pure garnet]

other than that i got some candy and a mcdonald’s gift card

[devout ridge]

Yes, very much so

[vestal granite]

ok good im glad im not the only one

[devout ridge]

i shaved yesterday, i feel like a naked alien

[steel stream]

yeah I had a surround sound system from like 08 in my dorm last year lol

[turbid locust]

I want to cut my beard off but its still occasionally cold out

[steel stream]

I want a full proper setup with tower speakers but my soundbar was good enough value it's not worth it

[steel stream]

I am surprised no jobs.mchire.com application

[devout ridge]

i was just using the TV built in speakers prior to my current setup, so i really got a nice upgrade

[pure garnet]

careers.mcdonalds.ca even

[devout ridge]

I also got a hot air rework station

[steel stream]

oh that's sweet

[devout ridge]

really excited to try that out when i come up with some new project

[vestal granite]

i dont normally shave my beard just my moustache cause i havent gotten to that stage where your moustache starts actually growing in around 30 so its still a crayon drawing moustache but what can i say im something of a trailblazer

[devout ridge]

i'm the opposite, my beard is quite scraggly, but my moustache grows quite nicely

so often times i'll leave the moustache alone and just shave the beard

[fervent scaffold]

Merry Christmas! I has a question lol. I currently have a 27” 1440p 180hz IPS monitor. With my 14600k and 5070ti. Is it worth getting a 27” 1440p OLED or should I shoot for a 32” 4k OLED?

[devout ridge]

32in 4k oled imo

[fervent scaffold]

Just the money difference and idk how well the 5070ti runs in 4K

Never attempted it so Im 50/50

[heavy mantle]

Wait iroh

How old are you 🙏

[brisk jolt]

I’ve got a friend fricking waiting for the stupid update

bro is like lvl 120+ like it cannot be that good

[shell void]

yeah me

im only lv 82 tho

[steel stream]

4K, I run 4K on 5070ti rn

with DLSS it's golden

[fringe vigil]

I’m opening my C5

[devout ridge]

time to hop on and grind the forge, michael is beating me

i'm only level 56

[brisk jolt]

He argued with kids on public servers like everytime

[devout ridge]

lucky for me, i have a priv server

spent the 1usd to not have to deal with annoying ass children

[wraith steeple]

One of the rare times I would play only multiplayer these days

[brisk jolt]

DUDE

he is not level 120 he is fucking lvl 160 it cannot be that deep

[pure garnet]

yeah i can vouch 4k is good on 5070ti

[vestal granite]

for me it was around 11 or 12 i think

what game are yall talking about i hear levels and spending money for private server and im hooked

[pure garnet]

they’re on roblox bro

[vestal granite]

thats fucking dumb nevermind

[pure garnet]

@shell void i started another ffxiv character

[steel stream]

https://tenor.com/view/yes-yas-wwe-scream-gif-17625417

[fringe vigil]

Warm 50 and peak brightness high right?

[steel stream]

yes

[fringe vigil]

Why peak brightness all the way

[wraith steeple]

jorj got a C5 for Xmas?!

[fringe vigil]

Birthday

[steel stream]

so you get those awesome bright highlights in HDR

[fringe vigil]

Nice

What about color do I mess with that

[steel stream]

that's where the warm 50 is

or will be

[fringe vigil]

Okay cool

[brisk jolt]

it looks like it woke up under the bed

[devout ridge]

LEAVE ME ALONE

[steel stream]

make sure you also go to general -> external devices, turn on 4:4:4 passthrough as well as HDMI deep color

[devout ridge]

it's an unironically fun game

[frank cypress]

gah damn

[steel stream]

how dare you have fun in a game I don't find fun

[frank cypress]

Costco food court sheeesh

$1.50 glizzy 🔥 🔥 🔥

[brisk jolt]

mfs spending like 60 hours in the caves mining darkryte/demonitr just to get absolute doodoo when forging shit:

now I want a Costco hotdog

[edgy laurel]

Game Mode, HDMI Deep Color enabled on TV (Settings > General > External Devices > HDMI settings. 4:4:4 passthrough Enabled. HDMI Deep Color Enabled

in windows 10-bit color, HDR on, run HDR calibration tool (

[pure garnet]

fr value of the century

[fringe vigil]

Oo

And warm 50 and peak brightness up

[pure garnet]

since when does razer make aios

https://www.newegg.com/razer-liquid-cooling-system/p/N82E16835837007

[steel stream]

yah

when you run the windows HDR calibration tool the values should just be 800, 800, 0 I think

https://videocardz.com/newz/sodimm-to-dimm-adapters-offer-a-workaround-for-ddr5-price-hikes @merry stirrup when SODIMM OC?

[fringe vigil]

man the design is so nice

shall i turn energy saving mode off

[steel stream]

yah

[fringe vigil]

when you watch movies do you change the settings

or keep in game mode

[edgy laurel]

I haven't turned off game mode for the PC input in 3 years

[steel stream]

I just stay in game mode all the time

[fringe vigil]

hm fair enough

ill turn off oled care logo brightness

[edgy laurel]

I have all that on

screen move on, logo brightness low

[mild sandal]

I feel so young saying this but they should add tiktok shop to pcpp

[vestal granite]

they should literally genuinely absolutely seriously sincerely truly not do that

[devout ridge]

one thing i hate about christmas time is the shipping times like triple

[vestal granite]

thats what im sayin im waiting on ISP guy to come fix the thingy and i gotta wait till monday

[shell void]

iroh the new world requires level 70

get to grinding you noob

[devout ridge]

WTF

goddamn it, i actually have to play the game

[brisk jolt]

wallahi i just checked im lvl 61 lmao

[shell void]

holy shi

[devout ridge]

i somehow don’t have a single set of rca cables in my home

[pure garnet]

they are ancient technology tbf

[devout ridge]

is there any cheaty way to make an rca to rca connection work with no rca cables?

[devout ridge]

it’s just stereo audio

[devout ridge]

holy shit, i really do need to grind

[vestal granite]

i dont have a cutting board because I, in my infinite wisdom, decided that i was gonna buy a new cutting board after my move because i want one of those big ole butcher block boards

so i have to wait for amazon to reopen

[shell void]

1.35mil XD

[devout ridge]

yall think dupont cables will work with rca?

i have actual rca cables ordered, but i’m impatient

[vestal granite]

depends on the dupont

[shell void]

it seems that there are two separate caves

[vestal granite]

im sure it wont work great but you could always get some scrap wire, wrap it around the RCA connectors and shove sawdust and dirt in there to keep it in place

[shell void]

a dungeon

[devout ridge]

damnit, rca needs a return signal too

[turbid locust]

don’t make me come wreck your shit

What game is that tho fr? My brother and I occasionally get obsessed with random Roblox games lol

[pure garnet]

mac you can do 360 aio and atx psu in the a3 right

i got an amazon gift card so im thinking of picking it up now

and then putting the 265k in my h5

[turbid locust]

Yes depending on PSU length and gpu length

[pure garnet]

rmx 850 so normal size

and a 2 slot 2 fan 4070

[turbid locust]

ur chillin

you’re so chillin

[whole coral]

Yooo 1,000+ Mbps upload

My moms friends WiFi

[turbid locust]

My 5070Ti 3 fan fit very comfortably

[pure garnet]

the lian li chart is like

really odd

[shell void]

this world is a lot prettier

[devout ridge]

sword

i’m starting to have a collection of swords

i might have a problem

[shell void]

there's an even bigger spider that has skills that seems to be the miniboss

im guessing the real boss is in the dungeon

[whole coral]

Ok so I notice very little difference in download times between 300 Mbps and 1,000 Mbps

[shell void]

oh well im out of time now ill have to play later

[whole coral]

Makes sense

[shell void]

sheesh i wish

i have 20 up 🔥

[whole coral]

My moms friends upgraded to fiber internet

Again from coax cable

[steel stream]

is this from a show or something or just a cool sword

[devout ridge]

just a cool sword

[steel stream]

sweet

[steel stream]

just an even bigger spider

[vestal granite]

now use it to cut a sandwich diagonally

[devout ridge]

it's a display sword, it doesn't have an edge

my katana does tho!

[wise bear]

Ur nan

[devout ridge]

peyton i'm gonna cut you diagonally

[wise bear]

Try me ho

[devout ridge]

@shell void where's the expansion at?

[shell void]

it was out a while ago i sent photos

they might not have shut down the public servers

[devout ridge]

where not when

i'm on a priv server that just generated

[edgy laurel]

Maybe you don't notice, but there is a very big difference. A 80GB game thats the difference between roughly 35 minutes and 10 minutes difference.

[shell void]

oh it’s an ice cave world

[devout ridge]

oh new world

[shell void]

there’s two separate caves

[devout ridge]

OH

got it, gotta grind then

[shell void]

i might have to play some on my phone while at my grandmothers house in a few minutes

[devout ridge]

i'll prolly bring my laptop and do the same lol

we really are great grandchildren aren't we?

spending chrismas playing roblox

[merry stirrup]

its similar to the d31 so im sure

[merry stirrup]

you should see the internal trace layout to this

[pure garnet]

i was just checking since i know he has one

they let me into hwbot server

[steel stream]

I think I've seen it before? not sure

[merry stirrup]

existed for d4

[hoary hatch]

what are the odds the amd apu drivers are causing all the visual artifacts on this laptop

[steel stream]

you mean you're not bringing the 5090 + C4 setup to grandmas house? shame

[hoary hatch]

like light mode is just broken in windows even after a windows reinstall

[merry stirrup]

the fact you can see the traces on it does not spark joy

[pure garnet]

im gonna bring my bench setup out to the living room and show my grandma some bclk ycruncher for christmas

[steel stream]

I mean seeing traces is fineeee

[pure garnet]

that thing will do 4800 barely and you will be happy

anyone got any cheap 360 aio recs

[merry stirrup]

thermalright

[pure garnet]

that name does not spark joy

[merry stirrup]

the naut is still cheap

theres a razer aio for like 20$ on the wegg rn

[steel stream]

arctic

[pure garnet]

240 and has firmware issues

[merry stirrup]

how does an aio have firmware issues

[pure garnet]

ignores rpm signal

[edgy laurel]

cheap? thermalright is real cheap

[pure garnet]

goes full balst

[merry stirrup]

seems legit

[pure garnet]

can't imagine this to be any worse than the naut

[merry stirrup]

i dont completely understand though

the pump ignores rpm signals and go full blast?

or when you plug the fans into the block and such they go full blast

[pure garnet]

yeah if you hook up the usb

[merry stirrup]

oh i mean

[shell void]

maybe it requires synapse xd

[pure garnet]

synapse fails to read the rpm signal right and just goes full blast

and says the aio is failing when it's not

[steel stream]

https://a.co/d/exCzn02 how cheap are we talking

[merry stirrup]

strange

[pure garnet]

functionally whatever is cheapest and won't leak

[pure garnet]

it's for my 7800x3d

[merry stirrup]

https://www.ebay.com/itm/357526373718?

[fervent chasm]

Arctic has the really high CFM fans

[pure garnet]

all i want is for pbo to boost slightly higher longer

[hoary hatch]

you buying?

[merry stirrup]

kyoko wants

[edgy laurel]

are you thermally limited? I don't see 89c ever

[merry stirrup]

hes doing real benches

[fervent chasm]

@merry stirrup can you try OC sodimm on desktop?

[edgy laurel]

but i can't talk, i'm on a $100+ air cooler

[merry stirrup]

buy me one of the adaptors and sure i have sodimm

[fervent chasm]

Using the SODIMM to UDIMM adapters

[pure garnet]

my understanding of co is that it will not enter higher ratios even if it's not throttling

im using a d15s rn and i can't get eclocks to 5ghz

[hoary hatch]

okay i officially hate radeon

[merry stirrup]

because voltage limit

[pure garnet]

yeah doesn't that also scale with temp though

you can get more voltage at a lower temp

[merry stirrup]

power draw scales with temp

[pure garnet]

or am i crazy

[merry stirrup]

youre probably right but i dont know

lower temp = lower power draw by a couple percent

its like 2ish percent every 10 or so c or something

[pure garnet]

my understanding (game theory) is that lower temp = more headroom to go into higher ratios but im also just shotgunning eclk into it

[merry stirrup]

sounds right

[random flame]

Of what on the side of red has occurred so disruptively for you as of recent times?

[pure garnet]

so anyway coolermaster has 2 ugly aios for $50

[fervent chasm]

Just turn your case around and it’s not ugly anymore

[pure garnet]

i mean the case it's going in doesn't even have a side panel so

[fervent chasm]

Even better

[pure garnet]

true!

[fervent chasm]

Mine has a side panel but it’s all metal except for fan grill thing

[pure garnet]

shoppin list

power splitter is so i can use case button and doohickey from mpower

[steel stream]

it took you this long?

[merry stirrup]

yeah i have to use one even in my case lol

@pure garnet is there anywhere else this was listed

[pure garnet]

no

i checked ocn and no threads

[merry stirrup]

okay then im gonna just ignore that

[pure garnet]

that's why i asked for a source

[merry stirrup]

figured you may hgave looked after some more

[whole coral]

Ok yeah I just did a download. There’s a big difference

It just took me 12-15 seconds to fully download a 2 hour video. Whereas with 300 Mbps it would take like 2-3 minutes

[pure garnet]

i know the mpower has a beta bios with more odt timings but that's it

[merry stirrup]

interesting

[pure garnet]

ROG CROSSHAIR X870E APEX TEST BIOS 9923 based on 1901

1. Update AGESA version to 1.2.8.0
2. Rollback to refresh mode
3. Apply new odt rules for 16x2 6000cl26 1.4v and 1.45v kit

this is all safedisk has posted about the agesa version

[merry stirrup]

"rollback to refresh mode"

wonder what that means idk

[pure garnet]

https://www.overclock.net/posts/29539436/

idk like

this guy has some data but only in some tests

[merry stirrup]

idk man

seems like it still does nothing

[pure garnet]

you can't set it to 1 anymore basically

[merry stirrup]

interesting

[pure garnet]

apparently agesa 1.2.8.0 made the chip read the value

[merry stirrup]

it might acutally be applying it now and still doing nothing

before i feel like it would always ignore whats in the box and apply an auto value

[pure garnet]

yeah safedisk confirms

[merry stirrup]

wow interesting

is this 9000 only or 7000 too?

ig i can test but whatever

[pure garnet]

presumably all cpus

since it's an agesa change

asus is the only vendor that shipped 1.2.8.0 so far

so the only one that could test any of it would be 5nail

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/12zg6yT_H7H-W1voyw1ZoIrj0GSE7WI4Ug-uLlv-Asa8/edit?gid=937453961#gid=937453961

[merry stirrup]

i have an asus am5 board in the form of my roommmates x670e strix

[pure garnet]

they didn’t push it out that wide yet

[merry stirrup]

damn

[pure garnet]

it’s a beta for the fancy 800 series boards

[merry stirrup]

waaaahhhh give me the feature

[pure garnet]

loong nia needs her trfcsb

i will say glad i just them at auto on my desktop then

[merry stirrup]

true

420 69 wouldve been devastation

[pure garnet]

unless something really important comes out i probably won’t bios update anyway

[mild sandal]

a3 case is nice, my only gripe is that it wants a smaller psu

[merry stirrup]

smaller than big yes

[pure garnet]

well my 2nd pc uses a shrimp 4070

[merry stirrup]

still atx sized tho so like its kinda fine

it was annoying for me to use my d31 cause of that tho

(basically same case i wont lie)

D31, A3, and the AP201 all basically identical and very slightly different

[mild sandal]

Why not, a whole lotta deals and coupons there...

[pure garnet]

how much is the d31

[merry stirrup]

i paid 70

they got one with a screen

D32 might be a better choice looks liek the same case but a lil smaller

[mild sandal]

I wish more case manufacturers had display options for the panels

[merry stirrup]

no 360 aio nvm

[hoary hatch]

Weird graphical stuff on windows
Light mode is broken
Video flashes color profiles

I've never seen this happen on a different device

[merry stirrup]

how has your 265k at 8200 been recently carter

[mild sandal]

The a3 front panel is easily customizable, so it shouldn't be that hard to stick an lcd screen and a few cables in there...

[pure garnet]

i do not need the lcd screen

d31 is 90 rn

so it's between the ap201 or the a3

[merry stirrup]

ap201 i think has vetter compatibility

this however, looks terrible

[pure garnet]

all i wanna fit is the mpower + my rmx 850

with a 360 aio

[merry stirrup]

id go a3 i think

looks a bit nicer

psu facing the other way in the ap201 is wack

[edgy laurel]

ap201 can look ok

[merry stirrup]

i think d31 (if i actually cared to make it pretty) wins

not seeing any of the psu cables is pretty nice

[edgy laurel]

especially if you use the block off panel on the right

[merry stirrup]

oh i didnt know the ap201 had that

then its not a terrible choice

[vestal granite]

where's the crisper drawer

[edgy laurel]

covers the ugly PSU

[merry stirrup]

pop air mini has one

thats my moms case lol

[vestal granite]

a windows update toggled this off and I will never forgive bill gates for it

[merry stirrup]

it dead ass is just a little drawer

[random flame]

I've not encountered these, all with only one instance which is Discord client exclusive where the side server bar graphically glitches whenever you're in a VC call, most particularly when someone's streaming. It's the only one I've ever come across though so far.

[vestal granite]

this is great i will store carrots in it

[merry stirrup]

eugh slightly warm from psu air carrots

[merry stirrup]

i will say i like but dislike the prime branding

[vestal granite]

steamed carrots

[merry stirrup]

like with my prime gpu it'd be a pretty cool look

[edgy laurel]

unpopular opinion. cooked carrots are ass

[merry stirrup]

youre right

[vestal granite]

popular opinion actually

[edgy laurel]

raw, pretty great

[vestal granite]

even my grandmother wont eat cooked carrots

[steel stream]

I eat any carrots

[merry stirrup]

mushy and tasteless

while just a washed raw carrot is a carrot

[vestal granite]

i like roasted carrots though like in a pot roast

[merry stirrup]

thats valid cause it absorbs all the goodness

sanme with tatos

[edgy laurel]

now roasted parsnips.. fucking prime

[vestal granite]

but other than that ill eat raw carrots any day cause i do the whats up doc thing

[merry stirrup]

i really like olives

[edgy laurel]

I love olives

[merry stirrup]

yknow the bugles ad

[vestal granite]

as a kid i was fucking annoying i bet cause i would chomp carrots like buggs bunny really obnoxiously and go "eh, whats up doc" and i have to intentionally stop myself to not do that now

[merry stirrup]

that but with olives on my fingers

[vestal granite]

but id use me big ole buck tooth chompers to do it and theyre fuckin strong teeth i tell you what

[merry stirrup]

💀

[merry stirrup]

geekbar drawer

[vestal granite]

thats where you store your chapstick, napkins, plastic utensils, and takeout menus

[hoary hatch]

I can't get around using the amd GPU in this because, of course, no mux so it's always processing

I think the vega iGPU drivers are just shit

Or Radeon software is shit

[random flame]

OOOHHHH I figured it had something to do with Vega or such.

[vestal granite]

dont worry, nvidia also does this on laptops without gpu mux

[hoary hatch]

Yes it's vega generation

[hoary hatch]

If there's no MUX I highly doubt Nvidia is connected directly to internal display

Also my Intel + Nvidia laptop never had display problems. Only ever vega iGPU

[vestal granite]

oh display problems not utilization problems

sorry i only read half of everything anyone says

[hoary hatch]

Discord moment

[vestal granite]

i always get utilization problems with intel + nvidia laptop

[hoary hatch]

Anyways this is the last dGPU laptop I will ever own

[vestal granite]

yeah im over them, if i need gpu performance on a laptop ill shoot for an APU

[random flame]

Same.

[vestal granite]

chances are the APUs these days can run whatever i want to run regardless, not like im playing cyberpunk RT on a laptop, at most random AA games n such

[random flame]

Well then again, I wouldn't get another laptop anyway unless it's a tiny one from GPD. Lol.

[hoary hatch]

I'm just not interested in laptop gaming anymore

[vestal granite]

i will sit quietly for 12 hours on a flight before i take out a laptop to play balatro

and any laptops i use have to be smaller ones like 13"

[hoary hatch]

On a flight I've concluded I will zone out and watch whatever 480p movie is available on the plane

I've brought laptops, steam deck, iPad
Nothing really works for me. I just want to veg out and wait for the flight to be over

[vestal granite]

i just rawdog flights making people uncomfortable by staring forward at the in-flight entertainment's main menu

[edgy laurel]

I put on my audiobook, set the sleep timer and close my eyes.

[hoary hatch]

My sleep timer would be the duration of the flight kek

[edgy laurel]

then spend 5 minutes once woken up finding where I left off

[steel stream]

sleep, wake up when food and beverages come, go back to sleep

[random flame]

I honestly ended up being against laptop gaming, just because of my 9-year experience with my old craptop. I know it was intended by design for office duties, but it gave me pretty much the full picture of what you get stuck with once you're on one.

[hoary hatch]

I mostly don't want to game on the go anymore, or steam deck is acceptable

[vestal granite]

id just be really tilted if the plane crashed and the last thing i hear is "I hate a Roman named Status Quo -- 💥"

[steel stream]

yeah I just use my iPad or the in flight entertainment

[hoary hatch]

Like if I'm traveling, I'm not going to try and play a competitive fps on hotel wifi

Also if I'm traveling I'm trying to find ways to spend less time in the hotel

[wheat karma]

Would anyone be able to help me try to find a new laptop?

Only requirements are 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. Preferably not Intel 10th/11th gen

[random flame]

It even made me respect the more modular laptops and such, but not enough that I'd even want to invest. My opinion nowadays has even changed as I'm now indifferent to Framework's offerings and anyone's doing similar. Like it just made me stop caring about them anymore.

[steel stream]

you must play comp overwatch on the plane and scream profanities at the top of your lungs

[turbid locust]

I am going to send you a $4000 laptop if you don’t give me a budget

[vestal granite]

cant play counter strike on flight because of the implication

[random flame]

I personally like the handhelds and mini pcs more if anything.

[steel stream]

have you seen the videos of the guy who goes on plane flights and then just eats a whole lemon or 6 raw eggs shell and all

[steel stream]

felony any% speedrun

[wheat karma]

Budget is like $800 USD max. I know there's a few sales ongoing but have been hesitant to pull the trigger

This is a laptop for DJing, it's just gonna be running rekordbox mostly

[vestal granite]

i like steam deck because its built specifically for gaming so i wont feel bad gaming on it

if i use laptop to game ill feel like i gotta check my email too

[hoary hatch]

Yeah, handhelds all the way

But again I just am less interested in gaming on the go these days

I will pre order a steam deck 2 the minute it is announced

[steel stream]

I just try and see how many movies I can watch on long flights

[edgy laurel]

yep. i can wait till i'm back in front of my 4K OLED.

[vestal granite]

i never have aux headphones to use so i dont use the movies thing

[wheat karma]

I guess this counts as tech.. new controller I acquired today

[random flame]

Personally, I would like to have on hand something portable in general for pc on the go, just... Not a laptop again.

[steel stream]

i bring the shittiest earbuds I can find

[vestal granite]

i always forget to bring earbuds and i never want to spend $15 in airport to buy them

[random flame]

Also, I'm very tempted by any of the ones that get a good Linux distro to work with. It's why I've been waiting for some good ones to come out with Steam OS besides just the Steam Deck.

[steel stream]

just watch the movie with captions and imagine the voices

dub it in your own head

[merry stirrup]

i want to play with liux on my desktop

i am just so lazy

[edgy laurel]

ez, just have another desktop

my other pc on my desk runs cachy

[turbid locust]

It’s cool for about 3 days

[pure garnet]

i can dualboot just fine but i end up just rebooting to windows to do anything beyond firefox

[merry stirrup]

lol

[random flame]

Pretty much the same thing I have, being my lil' brother's old rig (without a gpu in it) running Solus.

The catch is that thing is a full size tower, so I couldn't keep it in my room. So it's in his, which functions as a guest room.

[steel stream]

I have linux simply because it's easier to grab my NordVPN authentication key from there

[hoary hatch]

Yep. Not to mention home is nice and quiet and free of distractions

[pure garnet]

i mean i use linux i just like

[hoary hatch]

Can't say the same for an airplane or my parents' place

[pure garnet]

do not care to dualboot it on my desktop really

[wise bear]

has the post-christmas tech support arrived yet

[merry stirrup]

yeah kinda where im at idk

it would be somewhat fun to play with but i also have no goal in mind so i feel like id just get bored

[steel stream]

safe for now I think

[wise bear]

thank fuck

[pure garnet]

hey i just got a laptop for christmas should i install norton 360 for gamers

[wise bear]

i will actually skin you alive

[merry stirrup]

opera gx good browser???

[pure garnet]

i’m down

[wise bear]

you both

[merry stirrup]

im down

[pure garnet]

i don’t understand why anyone uses it

[merry stirrup]

me neither

[wheat karma]

no

[merry stirrup]

secretly uninistall it from my homies rigs when im at their house

[wise bear]

nice

[wheat karma]

just use edge/firefox/duckduckgo

[merry stirrup]

(i dont do that i just make fun of them for it enough for them to swap to chrome)

[pure garnet]

swapping from chrome to chrome

[wise bear]

just put a crome and firefox installer on the middle of their desktop and set the homepage in edge to a text document telling them to use a real fucking browser

[merry stirrup]

the gaming browser that is designed to take less resources is actually filled with so much bloat that the browser it was designed to replace is more lightweight

[wise bear]

is it opera or brave that has the rarted crypto thing

[merry stirrup]

no idea

opera is just bad, they have that fake vpn stuff too

why my browser make sounds

[steel stream]

I just edge

[pure garnet]

i use the fox

[steel stream]

my work I use edge like 99% of the time so I am just comfortable with it

[random flame]

Welp, I think now I'm reminded enough to install the water to use in case something happens to the fire.

[hoary hatch]

Man

[steel stream]

plus I like the vertical tabs in edge

[pure garnet]

i said i’d swap to firefox the day chrome disabled my ubo and i did the day it disabled my ubo

[hoary hatch]

Edge was top dog when they launched the chromium version

[pure garnet]

i don’t care what people use though

[hoary hatch]

Now it's all microsofty

[steel stream]

yeah at the end of the day you're just browsing the internet

[hoary hatch]

My chrome finally got the UBO breaking update
But edge is still going strong

I'll continue to use edge until they break UBO

[turbid locust]

@merry stirrup there’s very loose rumors going around that Asus is getting into Dram

Which means if they do, we might see Chinese dram manufacturers become somewhat available

Question, I got myself a new SSD (2TB Samsung 990 pro) and used samsung magician to clone my boot SSD over to it and then booted into it from the bios. The new SSD is marked as C:/, does that mean it will be the drive windows boots from?

[turbid locust]

Mhm

[steel stream]

you should also be able to determine boot order in the bios

[hoary hatch]

It was not worth it, trust

[fickle narwhal]

Yes restart and delete the duplicate files from the old C drive if your leaving it in the computer otherwise some stuff will get confused

[digital plume]

wouldnt it have been easier to install a fresh copy of windows then manually copy each file from the other drive

[wheat karma]

does this seem like a good deal?

I don't need a dedicated GPU

[hoary hatch]

It's $600, you're not getting a dGPU in a new laptop

[wise bear]

Get a better CPU lmao

[hoary hatch]

The issue is the i3

[wise bear]

20gb of ram like wtf

4gb solder 16gb module?

why is more air than a potato chip bag

[wheat karma]

I'm much more familiar with desktop components/pricing than I am with laptop/mobile components

[pure garnet]

want a good laptop under $800? buy a macbook air.

[wise bear]

You can buy your own SSD to put in it bro

Like it's not hard

[wheat karma]

what gen? M1?

[brave panther]

or older business laptop

used ofc

[wise bear]

M3

[edgy laurel]

Not sure what menu you’re even in but probably not unless you want to

[pure garnet]

any gen you can afford with the specs you need

[wheat karma]

I'm perfectly fine buying refurb/used

why

[pure garnet]

you’d be better off looking at resolution and not size

14” 1440p will have more area than a 17” 1080p panel

[wheat karma]

I tried running 4-channel on my 13" earlier today and I couldn't even see my tracks at the bottom

[wise bear]

Portable displays exist

[devout ridge]

also mac displays are very pixel dense

[devout ridge]

13" what

[pure garnet]

the same way a 15” 1080p display will show the same amount of content as a 80” 1080p tv

[wheat karma]

Not practical for a DJ gig setup

[wheat karma]

2020 XPS 9300 13"

[wise bear]

It's as thin as the fucking laptop what are you talking about

[wheat karma]

It's more things to carry in when I already have 2 cases of equipment and a Jackery

[devout ridge]

that laptop came with 3 options for display, but you probably have the 1920x1200 model

15in macbook air is 2880x1864

[wheat karma]

I have the 1920x1200 with an i3 and 8GB, correct

[pallid marsh]

Why do people take drugs

[devout ridge]

Get that intel shit out of here

[wheat karma]

intel 🤢

[low sorrel]

WHAT DID I DO

[low sorrel]

It's time for me to be on the toilet for 5 days

[devout ridge]

15in macbook has more than 2x the pixels that your 13in laptop has, 13in macbook has just under 2x the pixels

[low sorrel]

I'm like 80% sure I have e coli

[wheat karma]

so something like this?

[fringe vigil]

This is confusing how do I connect my oled to pc also is game mode called game optimiser

[devout ridge]

that is indeed a 15in m3 macbook air

[edgy laurel]

…it’s not even connected??? Plug in the HDMI!!

[fringe vigil]

I did

[wheat karma]

If I went for a MacBook I'd likely have to finance it but does seem worth it

[edgy laurel]

The main picture mods, one of them is game related. Yeah it might be game optimizer.

[devout ridge]

are you using the laptop to make money?

[edgy laurel]

And yes, trying to do this correctly requires a little more effort than just a monitor. You’ve had months to prepare lol

[wheat karma]

Kind of, though gigs do not always equal money

[devout ridge]

the fuck does "kind of" mean, do you at any point use your laptop to do something that makes you money?

[edgy laurel]

Official refurb too. https://www.apple.com/shop/refurbished/mac

[wheat karma]

I do a mix of paid and unpaid gigs, the cash flow would not be substantial

[edgy laurel]

My dad always buys from the official refurb, stuff always comes effectively brand new. Or it seems so

[devout ridge]

then decide for yourself if it's worth it

[wheat karma]

I would be able to afford it aside from $ from gigs, just would need to finance to soften the short-term hit

[hoary hatch]

How did you know my nickname from highschool

[wise bear]

mine too bestie

[hoary hatch]

My roommate is waiting for his car to be back to do this (dumbass left half a joint in the frunk)

[hoary hatch]

So fucking cringe

[fringe vigil]

Where’s ’warm option’

[wheat karma]

This morning I took a shot, jumped in 34° F Lake Michigan, then took another shot and shared a joint

[wheat karma]

would be inside "colour"

[fringe vigil]

Why it ain’t showing

The hdmi connected

[edgy laurel]

Cause your on the wrong input

Switch to the pc input

[hoary hatch]

Oh my god I need more alcohol

[fringe vigil]

[hoary hatch]

I'm now drinking 5% abv grape soda

[edgy laurel]

Every change you make needs to be on the PC input or you’ll have to do it all over again

[fringe vigil]

[hoary hatch]

Guilty what's your drink

[wheat karma]

I've had 3 shots of fireball, 4 beers, a shot of Malört, some cart hits, and half a joint

[hoary hatch]

Jesus fuck

I've had a uhhh

[wheat karma]

Welcome to the Midwest

[hoary hatch]

[wise bear]

god damn

[devout ridge]

god damn that's rare

[frank zealot]

Are people really this dumb to believe this is real?

[floral spear]

Merry Christmas

[wise bear]

yes

[frank zealot]

Check the sellers name

[low sorrel]

I ate food that now has an ecoli recall and now I'm sick with ecoli symptoms hmm...

[wise bear]

ive seen worse tbh

[frank zealot]

Sure, but that's bad still

[indigo walrus]

So nice of them to sell these 4TB drives for only $1 (if you use the price field for ANYTHING other than the ACTUAL price, I WILL offer to buy the item from you for that price. Use the fields correctly, or get off the internet.)

[frank zealot]

Right?

4 drives. So 4$? Sold!

[turbid locust]

Probably nothing

[frank zealot]

Do I offer to buy? How long until there's a down payment

[indigo walrus]

You totally should. And do it all seriously too - that's what I do. Then when they play the "What bruh? I'm not selling them for $1 - didn't you read the description?" card, I read them the riot act on ensuring they don't abuse form fields because it makes it impossible to sort by price.

[pallid marsh]

@low sorrel since you couldnt get a job and burger king you can now fake it

[wise bear]

LMAO

nah hang on one sec

[frank zealot]

#ShotsFired
