I can’t wait for the phone it comes tomorrow

Gonna be huge going from 12 mini to pro max

Display size difference is crazy

[indigo walrus]

What do you mean "buy" the display? It's right there, attached to your laptop! You just happened to get the model with the invisible screen. DUH. Screens aren't even real, anyway...

[proven saddle]

Crazy i was crazy oncr

[proven saddle]

Hi how are you?

[fervent chasm]

This is how they use it in the listing

[proven saddle]

Wireless screen?

[fervent chasm]

If I can find a replacement I think I’m saving like 50%

Going from an i7-4600U to i9-13900H

Huh your monitor looks different to mine

[merry stirrup]

7500f in my inventory

[pure garnet]

to do what with

[merry stirrup]

homie computer

[proven saddle]

Off hand or ?

[proven saddle]

Does he like it?

[merry stirrup]

well its in my inventory not his

[proven saddle]

What you do with it ?

Or does it repeat?

[pure garnet]

why is chasing 0.04s so hard man

i just wanna beat this dude

[proven saddle]

Fast

[merry stirrup]

if you get a good run dont change settings just run it again

0.04 is margin of error unironically

[pure garnet]

that’s the problem

[turbid locust]

lol W

[proven saddle]

Ah the steak

I have only one thing in mind with steak

[topaz veldt]

we were watching Guga on youtube

and he was like "man my stomach is saying it wants steak"

[turbid locust]

man my bank account is saying it wants $10,000,000

[topaz veldt]

lol

[proven saddle]

You not alone

[pure garnet]

@merry stirrup

[merry stirrup]

busssttttt

[turbid locust]

do you need hella bandwidth for ycruncher

or does it care about ram speed more

in terms of timings

[pure garnet]

5ghz too

@merry stirrup btw im still throwing i accidentally put the fans on as push

and not pull

[steel stream]

ninja turtle cpu

[pure garnet]

i think using an x3d just for ycruncher is really funny actually

[shell void]

push is better

pull through rad just causes turbulant noise

[pure garnet]

michael im running the fans at 100% fixed

the only thing this pc is doing is ycruncher

i took the side panel off and dropped a tenth bc it had no airflow

[merry stirrup]

probably will get you one or two

[merry stirrup]

but this is fire

[pure garnet]

this is cool too

[turbid locust]

I just never see that ever anymore lmao

[pure garnet]

dude the noises he makes when he's looting

never fails to make me laugh

[turbid locust]

@pure garnet

[pure garnet]

i hope it's a good bin

praying for u

[turbid locust]

it’s Amazon so my expectations are zero

First 6000 1.25vsoc Zen 5 sample in history

[brisk jolt]

might actually be rivaling my 9800x3d sample

[nimble pike]

I miss overclocking, man

[merry stirrup]

well then do it

[turbid locust]

What’s stopping you

[nimble pike]

Mostly hardware prices right now

[turbid locust]

buy old used stuff

[merry stirrup]

i assume you have a computer currently

im literally remotely ocing a homies rig rn through an ip kvm

[nimble pike]

I do. I've got a 4790k and some X79 stuff.

[turbid locust]

Haswell? All you’d ever need anyway.

[topaz veldt]

lol

@edgy laurel I wish there were better bungalator swag

[south shuttle]

honestly i’m not surprised

i’m more like laughing at this stuff

[nimble pike]

I've never OC'd her either

I got it for $70 with board and RAM

I've also got some old Pentiums somewhere

[south shuttle]

hacker

mods ban de hacker floppa

[turbid locust]

ban flops

[topaz veldt]

ban everything

[fervent chasm]

i dont think ill be able to buy the whole lid assembly

im gonna have to build the entire top half from parts

that will be fun

[turbid locust]

5nail I’m setting up an over/under parlay on my 9600x bin

6000 1:1; Over or under 1.2vsoc needed

Gear 2, over or under 8200 doable

[topaz veldt]

why do you do this to yourself

[nimble pike]

The biggest mistake I ever made was selling my Rampage IV

[turbid locust]

At this point it’s a joke

Like I just assume all my CPUs are gonna be ass bins atp

[pure garnet]

im going with under

i expect realistically a 6400 1:1 1.3v sample

[turbid locust]

You have too much hope

[digital plume]

tech chat 2 is even worse they're batshit insane

[pure garnet]

or it'll have shit cores but do 6400 low soc to be funnier

[turbid locust]

that’d be some shit

[pure garnet]

like -10co unstable in aida

[turbid locust]

LMAO don’t manifest that shit for me

[nimble pike]

How does AM4 do with overclocking?

[turbid locust]

relatively uneventful at ambient

[brisk jolt]

7600X 6400 1:1 1.25vsoc incoming watchout

[nimble pike]

What about phase change?

Or chiller

[turbid locust]

Could get some interesting results with manual all core oc

[pure garnet]

wait mac did you get 9600x or 7600x

idk the boxes that well

[turbid locust]

9600x

[edgy laurel]

just need to add another case fan and your 5800x will break records

[pure garnet]

the air cooling oc king

[brisk jolt]

leme go tinker with my 7600X later

[turbid locust]

I’ve done 5.8Ghz on a 5800x on LN2

[brisk jolt]

how do you be a professional air cooler expert overclocker LOL

[edgy laurel]

he never did give his seminar

we missed out

[pure garnet]

i just did my 13th place run with p12 pros, i should pickup some delta fans

[turbid locust]

real would push you to 10th

[pure garnet]

i think i can go higher still

i just need to lock in

my chip def isn't good enough to rank 1 or anything but i think i can get top 10

[turbid locust]

nuking the beard in the morning

kinda

[merry stirrup]

i was waiting

[wraith steeple]

Certified LTTcord Classic right here

[turbid locust]

Floppa what are ya betting?

[wraith steeple]

At my last graveyard shift of the year

TC2 FP VC tomorrow morning?

[fervent chasm]

should I build a new display assembly, or buy a portable display and stick it on the laptop?

$255 for rebuild (oled 1080p 60hz), or $230 for a 4k OLED monitor that I hack a hinge into with some janky setup

[topaz veldt]

not bad

[edgy laurel]

little bit of gooop

[topaz veldt]

unfortunately already have both but whatev

[turbid locust]

Last time I played arc raiders, me, @steel stream, and 5 randoms on free kits jumped one of those big ass flying robot things

literally everyone died but me and I finished it off low health

[topaz veldt]

there are a lot of flying robots lol

[drifting garden]

@edgy laurel I’m still struggling and all hope is lost I’m genuinely abt to give up for a month or so, come back and reinstall windows, and see how that goes

[turbid locust]

the big one that fucks everyone up

[edgy laurel]

rocketeer

[turbid locust]

yes that one

[drifting garden]

Do I enable PBO to see if it helps or just chill. Can PBO break anything

[topaz veldt]

oh - those are not bad at higher level mac

[topaz veldt]

its overclocking/undervolting

[drifting garden]

So don’t do it

[turbid locust]

PBO is fine

[edgy laurel]

trying to take on a rocketeer with early game light ammo guns lol

[drifting garden]

Yk what I spent ~$3k and I’m having issues with this pc. I just can’t deal with technology anymore. You have to have an absurd amount of patience. I give up

[turbid locust]

I had a sniper

[merry stirrup]

m16d reverse scales with voltage like igors lab suggests

[turbid locust]

sigh what issues

[merry stirrup]

1.35v cant boot above 32768 refi, 1.2 boots 65535

[drifting garden]

I don’t even wanna talk abt it

[turbid locust]

ok

[drifting garden]

It makes me sick

[turbid locust]

my advice is to clear cmos and then play some games

[pure garnet]

money spent does not equal more reliable

[drifting garden]

I made a Reddit post ( I know Reddit may be hated here, I just installed it last week to get help plz don’t go crazy on me) explaining everything and it got 70k views in a day do you wanna read it

[turbid locust]

sure

[drifting garden]

Am I allowed to link it here

[pure garnet]

i don’t see why not

[turbid locust]

Unironically with the state of things, a PS5 and a M4 Mac Mini would take care of a lot of people for not even bad money LOL

[drifting garden]

https://www.reddit.com/r/AMDHelp/s/AIplhoCQsR

Well here it is

Yk this issue has taught me alot. It’s ok to give up in life. Cant solve every issue

[edgy laurel]

lol i saw that post yesterday?

[drifting garden]

I’m just gonna forget abt ts

[edgy laurel]

as I was scrolling

[turbid locust]

literally cap your framerate

[drifting garden]

Lmaooooo

[turbid locust]

literally cap your framerate

[drifting garden]

Read the post bum

[edgy laurel]

don't do that

it will not go well

[drifting garden]

One thing I noticed about Reddit is people don’t read the whole post and then immediately send a reply thinking they know wverything

Honestly the app is sort of unbearable

Some of The people on the app are unbearable*

[edgy laurel]

(its people anywhere)

[drifting garden]

Facts guilty

[turbid locust]

turn off your fps counter

[drifting garden]

Tried it I’ll try it again

I don’t mind giving up atp

I really don’t

You know I think I prefer it

[turbid locust]

realistically based on your post this shit is in your head lmao

[drifting garden]

I’m seeing the counter drop…

[turbid locust]

that’s why I said turn it off lmao

[edgy laurel]

i saw what might have been a single hitch in that video

[drifting garden]

My 1% lows drop in front of my face and ik im not tweaking abt the judders

[drifting garden]

Look at the way it moves bro

[turbid locust]

one singular hitch on a UE5 game

[drifting garden]

It feels worse slow mo makes it look good

[pure garnet]

ue5 claims another victim

[fringe fossil]

Rip

[drifting garden]

It’s not Js fort…

[turbid locust]

k what’s the other game

[pure garnet]

val is also ue5

[turbid locust]

(UE5 game)

[edgy laurel]

well, at this point it seems like you've been messing with all sorts of settings so you'd need to start over

[fringe fossil]

Just reinstall windows ez fix

[edgy laurel]

fresh install, single game, latest driver, nothing else installed

[drifting garden]

Doing it tmr good idea

[edgy laurel]

and if it was me, the gsync/frame cap magic sauce

[drifting garden]

Which game is the question. I wanna test Minecraft Java vanilla but I know it’s pretty unoptimized…

I’m not gonna lie is there a single game out there tn optimized?

[edgy laurel]

minecraft shouldn't be used for any sort of general performance testing. its weird

[drifting garden]

Am I crazy or is every game just sh** now?

[brisk jolt]

ur def crazy

[turbid locust]

https://www.reddit.com/r/nvidia/s/doQieSiGuO embrace the butter

[brisk jolt]

time to glaze expedition 33 further

[drifting garden]

I am already aware of all this and tested it. Read the post a bit ago

[turbid locust]

You’re right. You’ve exhausted all options and this issue is IMPOSSIBLE to fix.

[drifting garden]

Yup… 😂

This is why I like consoles more

None of this shiz happens… 0%

[turbid locust]

You’re definitely the target audience for a PS5

[drifting garden]

Never owned a ps

[turbid locust]

Just out of curiosity do you use Medal for clipping on pc

[drifting garden]

So tmr im resetting windows fully, downloading a game ONLY, latest nvidia driver (sooo downloading Nvidia app too?), and testing it out?

[drifting garden]

You couldn’t pay me to use horror bloatware like that

I use instant replay which is solid I beleive. Atleast I think

[brisk jolt]

imagine if the entire time shaders were compiling

[drifting garden]

Wym

[fringe fossil]

[drifting garden]

Also @edgy laurel should I clear CMOS? I was told it’s pointless but for peace of mind?

[merry stirrup]

lol this guy scalping the 30$ aio

all i sent him was the newegg link

description unironically says "only asking 75"

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

[turbid locust]

This may break your heart but a 100% solid, Micro-stutterless, perfect experience is virtually impossible

[digital crater]

would a used 3080 last me longer or a new 9060xt

[merry stirrup]

mew 9060xt

[turbid locust]

You can have the best setup on the planet and you WILL drop a frame occasionally lmao

[drifting garden]

No I get that 100% but the issue I’m having wasn’t always an issue… that’s honestly what makes me most upset

Also for my 9800x3d I don’t need game bar enabled and allat right?

[turbid locust]

the Reddit post I linked earlier was the best thing I’ve ever done for my pc gaming experience. Everything is just butter all the time.

[brisk jolt]

imagine if his 9800x3d was on eco mode the entire time

[turbid locust]

Still shouldn’t be an issue

[brisk jolt]

i’d rather stick with the shader compilation thing

[drifting garden]

Is it the G sync plus v sync plus reflex combo?

[turbid locust]

Power limiting a cpu to 65W that only draws like 40W in game doesn’t do anything lmao

[turbid locust]

yes + global framerate cap

[drifting garden]

Cap frames to what? That one equation thingy?

[turbid locust]

yeah

for you it’d be 328fps

[drifting garden]

Imma give it a shot rq may aswell. I never added the frame rate cap

[turbid locust]

I’m on 144hz, and after doing that, it was extremely more smooth than playing at a locked 400fps with all that off

[drifting garden]

What abt low latency mode?

[turbid locust]

especially if you run uncapped. Bouncing between 700 and 900 fps can look like microstutter even on a 144hz display

[turbid locust]

On what?

[drifting garden]

NCP

[turbid locust]

I’ve never bothered with it. Only thing I do in control panel is make sure Gsync is enabled

[drifting garden]

I use the indicator for g sync

It says g sync in green on top right in game so ik it’s on

[turbid locust]

btw when you use reflex, I would just use regular reflex and not On + Boost

as far as I can tell, boost just forces your gpu to higher frequency unnecessarily

[drifting garden]

Yeah I heard that from others aswell

Alr I’ll do that rn and then gts cuse ts too tiring

[turbid locust]

[drifting garden]

😭

[turbid locust]

but yeah a proper capped fps + gsync + reflex setup is within 1ms of latency as running an uncapped framerate

the days of pushing 1000 fps for “input lag” is over lol

[turbid locust]

Any progress?

[drifting garden]

Yoo

It did feel a bit smoother but it wasn’t full back like

It felt a bit better and there wasn’t a lot of delay but it still felt off + my 1% lows were averaging like 200 which Idk if is normal and they would drop like to 80-100 here and there

[turbid locust]

Fortnite?

game sounds terribly optimized im ngl

[drifting garden]

Yes on Fortnite

I am gonna test Minecraft and Val tmr morning

Also do you think clearing CMOS would do anything?

[merry stirrup]

[topaz veldt]

I slowly, conspicuously walked away lol

[low sorrel]

Yeah if you shoot the legs you can be a rat and take the cores and run

[topaz veldt]

I am on solo kid duty today so prob not

I need 4 more bombadier cells to upgrade my refinery

I still need like everything I have played like 3 rounds since we last played

[topaz veldt]

ah damn

[low sorrel]

Got a torente and a venator BP tho

And a blue light stick but that doesn't count lol

[low sorrel]

Did you find the equalizer BP yet?

Or the Jupiter?

You find it by looting the harvester or the center of the queen

[topaz veldt]

nah

[visual notch]

guys

is acer v15 good? or acer swift 16

[low sorrel]

What is that

[vocal anchor]

I mod Valheim with a ton of mods (350+), and PerfMon always shows while loading the game I'm hitting the capacity of my DDR4 3,600 M/T 32GB kit. I have a 3,000 M/T 16GB kit, too. If I add the 2 together, they will run at the slowest speed but I will have 48GB of memory. The game load times are really what I'm trying to shorten, as it now takes 8+ minutes to load the game off of a Gen4x4 NVMe. Any thoughts?

[fringe vigil]

Valheim looks lit

[edgy laurel]

You should remove some mods

8+ minutes, you've effectively broken the game

[vocal anchor]

So if we had said, "Let's go to the moon" and you were around then, instead of helping to invent a rocket, your suggestion would be to stop wanting to go to the moon? The amount of lazy is strong with you.

[edgy laurel]

https://tenor.com/view/seth-meyers-myers-ehh-maybe-gif-3576071601428424976

[livid flame]

Don’t have 350 mods

[livid flame]

This makes no sense

People at the time held that opinion and I would have too. It’s a rock with fuck all on it

[oak vector]

I’d happily join but I’d have to do a clueless comedian part

[livid flame]

That’s my mantle

[autumn rain]

I don’t think it’s lazy to offer a solution, what’s lazy is knowing 350+ mods will cause longer load times but do nothing when a solution is offered. lol you started the question because you didn’t want to wait for 8 minutes.

[oak vector]

I feel like I fit in here, but as pure emotional support as opposed to advice giving hahaha

I like learning tho :3

[autumn rain]

Other than waiting, maybe optimization mods? That may be the real answer

I asked in another forum and was given an intelligent answer. Thanks for teaching me that this place is a joke, populated with the bottom of the barrel and the bottom of the class.

[oak vector]

Tbf valheim is pretty niche bro

Especially modded
I’ve barely played vanilla
Let alone modded

it’s like judging a fish on how well it can climb a tree

[vocal anchor]

24,000 players on Steam right now, and the game is "niche"?? WOW.

I'm leaving this server. I'm afraid of what I will turn into if I stay.

[limpid galleon]

Guys does b450 elite have space for sata ssd?

I could only find nvme

[oak vector]

Lmfao almost definitely lol

I haven’t seen many monos without sata lol

[limpid galleon]

Ok i was scared for a sec

Cuz i bought a sata ssd online and i thought my mobo didnt have it

[edgy laurel]

SATA M.2?

[autumn rain]

I mean I don’t want to be rude, but going “I have 300+ mods and 8 minute load times. What is the problem?” And then refusing to acknowledge it was probably the amount of mods seems a little like he already had his mind made up on the matter

[limpid galleon]

I knownit has nvme under the gpu but maybe its along the edges

[limpid galleon]

Yes

[edgy laurel]

Did you not just look at the spec page?

[limpid galleon]

Oh i didnt know mobos had spec pages, it was a prebuilt i bought off marketplace

Thanks for the help guys im just a bit stressed 😅

[edgy laurel]

Assuming thats the right board. "b450 elite" isn't terribly descriptive

[brittle trellis]

This is common on pretty much every moldable game. Idiots will install pretty much every shit mod they see and then get mad when you tell them their metric ton of shit mods are the reason their shit is broken

[limpid galleon]

B450 elite arorus or smn

[oak vector]

And I stand by my point
Valheim is pretty popular, but you hear so little of it so I’d consider it niche haha

Some people just fish in the backyard fountain expecting to pull out a gummy shark, not much you can do

[oak vector]

A lot of games, after say 20-50 mods there’s issues lmao

[autumn rain]

Oh yeah, even prebuilds all should have manuals and spec sheets, so it’s always a good idea to google your part numbers and kinda find out its specs

[edgy laurel]

The problem with mods is oftentime when you load up an engine with them, there isn't simply a hardware bottleneck holding you back. It ends up becoming the engine itself and throwing hardware at it isn't going to magically solve the problem

[oak vector]

literally

[edgy laurel]

Hell, modern PC games still don't all benefit from faster storage than a SATA SSD in most cases

[autumn rain]

Yeah. That was always the issues I ran into. Then again the most modding I do is texture upscaling or whatever if it’s an older game, so I generally don’t run into too many issues

[oak vector]

minecraft Java isn’t bad for modding, like you can kinda load up like 200 mods and it’s fine
You can get way bigger packs too.
But the bottleneck in most cases is the fact it’s Java and poorly optimised lmao.

you have a vanilla minecraft world that’s big enough and it can bring a high end rig to its knees lol

[edgy laurel]

Ever wonder why game load times don't scale linearly between a 600MB/s SATA SSD and a 15GB/s Gen5 NVMe?

Its how they're designed, they simply can't take advantage of it.

[autumn rain]

I know man, but I can’t get any of my friends onto bedrock because it’s not as easily mod-able

[oak vector]

Lmao valid

Respectfully
I don’t think I’ll ever fully play bedrock again

[livid flame]

My god he’s right

[vestal granite]

we're horrible people for not knowing how to fix their valheim install with 350 mods

[livid flame]

We are bottom feeding unintelligent moronic parasites that just eat shit

[oak vector]

And then someone else from somewhere else solved it for them and we know nothing
Common trope ‘round these parts lmao

8 minutes to load the game with all those mods, surely they'll fix it with more RAM

go get more malware from your excessive mod downloading

[pure garnet]

did you write this with the intent to sound like a terminally online redditor or did it naturally come out

[frank zealot]

100% natural

[frank zealot]

bro, you're welcome to your opinions, no matter how ill-informed they are lololol

[edgy laurel]

can you load your game faster than 8 minutes now?

[oak vector]

This is more projection than Linus’ projector wall holy crap

[harsh sail]

looks like we have something to work on lol

[pure garnet]

bro went all high authority after discovering his 36gb of crap didn’t fit in a 32gb sized hole

[frank zealot]

I wonder if he's figured out that mod load order also matters?

[pure garnet]

it sounds like he just downloads what looks cool so probably not

[oak vector]

Hopefully 300 mods instead of 350 works out for him

8 minute load time is kinda funny ngl

Though I’ve seen and felt worse soooo

[pure garnet]

8 min is shorter than gta online used to be

[frank zealot]

If a mod adds 3 seconds to load time, and you have 300 of them?
That'd be 900 second to load 300 mods, sooo.... Honestly 8 minutes? Could be a lot worse.

[autumn rain]

Again I don’t want to be rude, but it sounds like he knew what the answer was, he just didn’t like it or didn’t want to hear it.

[steel stream]

what happened

[pure garnet]

some dude has 350 valhiem mods, takes 8 minutes to load, asks us if more ram would fix it, then when they suggest to remove some he crashes out

should i worry about my i5 14600k reaching nearly 90 degrees with 20-30% usage while gaming? im using a thermalright air cooler

that does sound high though

[limpid galleon]

What is the best ryzen 7 am4 cpu to pair with 3060ti, in your guys opinions?

[edgy laurel]

57/800x3D, of course.

its not really up for opinion. its so old that you just want the best

[autumn rain]

Honestly the 5600x would keep up with a 3060ti quite nicely, but yeah, if you can get good prices no reason not to go all out.

[limpid galleon]

What ab 5700x, its more in my budget

I saw new for 140-160

[edgy laurel]

5600, 5600x, 5700x. Just pick one, it won't matter all that much

[limpid galleon]

I have 3600 rn

[limpid galleon]

Oh ok i thought there would be a big difference

[edgy laurel]

not for gaming

for CPU based multicore rendering yeah, 8 cores will finish before 6

[limpid galleon]

Ok

But i have 3600, is 5600x a good step forward? Or do you recommend ryzen 7

[shell void]

if gaming is your main concern then there isn’t much difference between the 5600x and 5700x

[pure garnet]

i’d get the 8 core just to have them but that’s me

[shell void]

well yeah but we also just buy the current gen flagship xd

[pure garnet]

can’t imagine the price difference is crazy

hey i had a core ultra 7 thank you very much

[astral fox]

Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE, cpu is drawing around 1.370v (1.462 max) the temps around 40-60 degrees at 10-20% usage but whenever it reaches 40% or above the temps start to go up to 90 degrees

[frank zealot]

utilization isn't power draw

but a PA120 SE shouldn't be that warm

[astral fox]

yeah my bad, can i dm you a screenshot of my hw?

[steel stream]

i don't want your homework

[edgy laurel]

if they're trying to track voltage at the same time, its being massively overcomplicated

[frank zealot]

just post it here

[edgy laurel]

the classic hwmonitor

[astral fox]

it hits 100 degrees within 1-2 mins when i benchmark

[frank zealot]

I'ma say:

Turn off the PC, take the heatsink off, and check the paste application

[edgy laurel]

at only 121W? Thing isn't seated correctly

[frank zealot]

and make sure the plastic sticker isn't on it

[autumn rain]

I was gonna say, maybe a mounting issue

[edgy laurel]

or you live in a furnace

[autumn rain]

Or the classic peel on the bottom

[frank zealot]

120W shouldn't be 90C regardless on a PA120SE

[astral fox]

im pretty sure that i applied enough paste and removed all the stickers

i finished building the pc yesterday all parts are new

[edgy laurel]

i don't think TR's air coolers come with plastic on the coldplate? could be wrong

[frank zealot]

well, your temps say you did something wrong

[astral fox]

but ill check again

[frank zealot]

they used to, now they may not

[edgy laurel]

are you on a current BIOS?

[frank zealot]

Source:
I know I forgot to take the sticker off my PA120SE at one point on the test bench

[edgy laurel]

looks like PL1 and 2 are both 181W so I guess its not overpowering

[autumn rain]

Is there offset mounting on the PA120SE? Could it be they mounted it with the wrong offset?

[frank zealot]

nope

one mount for each socket

[autumn rain]

Ah, nvm then

[astral fox]

could it be because of the paste? im using the paste which came with the cooler

[frank zealot]

Actually I do have a dumber thought:

Are both fans pointing the same direction

[autumn rain]

I think it’s probably not screwed on right atp

[astral fox]

but the temps were good on my previous build which had an i5 8600k

[frank zealot]

it's not amazing paste, but it's absolutely fine

[steel stream]

how loud are the fans at full load

[frank zealot]

the difference between "meh" paste and "Top Tier Duronaut / Noctua" paste?

Probably about 3-5c on most setups. Not that huge.

[fringe vigil]

whats rtx vsr guiilty i keep eeing it when im on sdr

[steel stream]

video super resolution

it upscales lower quality video up to 4k

[digital plume]

i did find out some weeks ago, too much paste screws up everything

[astral fox]

I didn’t pay attention to that but the fans are running fast enough

[autumn rain]

https://tenor.com/view/thermal-paste-gif-4366591652798924687

[frank zealot]

it does not

will it suck to clean up? holy shit yes

but it won't fuck anything up with a proper cooler mount

[autumn rain]

Yeah that’s been my experience

[frank zealot]

https://youtu.be/t52UW5bXkbs?si=2xaFQDMt1a4nLqYO

[digital plume]

i repasted two pcs, my little brother's and mine, i used too much paste on mine and it just keeps heating up until 97°, my brother's i only put a dot and it's fine at 60-70

[steel stream]

I know I put too much paste on my CPU so not looking forward to whenever I have to clean taht up

[digital plume]

both have intel stock coolers, same i3 10th gen

[frank zealot]

I'll bet one of yoru clips isn't on tight

[digital plume]

silly enough it's my brother's pc that has a broken clip yet maintains good temps

i did not break it

[edgy laurel]

you turned it on, and turned on the indicator. as @steel stream said its one of the two options for video enhancement. that one upscales lower quality video to 4K and it super nice to have, especially on a 42" display

if the indicator is annoying, you can turn that part off

[fringe vigil]

yh

[edgy laurel]

I suggested turning it on when you were testing so you knew when it was working

[digital plume]

you know what I'll check that when i get back home you made me doubt myself

[clear juniper]

I like mine with my live wallpaper lol

I turn everything off before I go to sleep

[digital plume]

well set it as a screensaver, i simply don't suffer from rich people oled problems

[astral fox]

I found the issue, the paste didn’t spread evenly

[digital plume]

me and my 768p have been going strong since 2012 and earlier

[astral fox]

Thanks for the help

[wise bear]

But why are you still here

[wraith steeple]

9.5 times out of 10 folks who announce either never go or eventually come back

[edgy laurel]

whatever you're comfortable with. 5 minute? 10? up to you. id' probably do one of those. I use a TV so I don't have display sleep so I use WinXCorners to quickly enable my screensaver when I get up and walk away (i'm weird like that)

[clear juniper]

Ok ill probably do 10 minutes and then just use my oled care 2.0 every so often

[edgy laurel]

wait why does that 600 look different around the connectors

[topaz veldt]

im not sure to be honest

[edgy laurel]

you know, looking at these, what are they actually doing differently that changes the price

[topaz veldt]

Is that the stock cable?

[edgy laurel]

this is kinda dumb if you think about it

yeah that looks stock

the cable looks like $17

Guilty, Peyton!
This was my first Custom Built PC Case back in the late 90's.

An old InWin A500

it housed my K6-2 300 (OC'd), w SLI Voodoo 2's and some variety of HDD and CD Burner.....

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/5XpRmETDNRA

[mild sandal]

Got into iems recently, went with the letshuoer s12 ultra and a btr13 and damn I'm loving them

[wraith steeple]

[frank zealot]

case was fuckin' garbage.
The ENTIRE outside was one piece

there was no side panel it was a full C-Shell covering the entire case

and the metal bar across the side made working in it absolutely shit

but... I could stand on it and it didn't give a flying fuck

like, can you imagine a case having this level of restriction today:

[livid flame]

I thought I’d check out when that burnt peanut streams as I only ever see clips. To my dismay, surprise and also not so much surprise.. turns out he uses his 5090 to encode and his 5080 to play on 😭

[wise bear]

literally cancer

[green marsh]

to be honest, the upper section is not that relevant, it is equal to current PSU cage design

[pure garnet]

that image is borderline unreadable

[frank zealot]

the top of the board is behind that.

Including the CPU

so over half of the depth is taken up by the PSU over the CPU Cooler

[livid flame]

Oh it’s some garbage graphics

But tf he using the 5080 over the 5090 for in those 2 situations

[edgy laurel]

because the difference doesn't matter to him, or most streamers/gamers

[livid flame]

Well if he’s using a second pc he shouldn’t even be gpu encoding

[edgy laurel]

and he just gets sent hardware for free

[livid flame]

The 13900k does the lifting

[edgy laurel]

why?

[green marsh]

to be fair, back then CPU coolers were barely taller than chipset coolers 😄

[frank zealot]

ALSO:
One thing that cases used to have, and no longer do anymore:

Who remembers removable motherboard trays?

[livid flame]

that’s the whole point of secondary rigs for streaming. For better encoding on x264

[frank zealot]

I bought an extra tall aftermarket and put a delta 60x25mm on it.

[edgy laurel]

CPU on the stream PC should be handling his extremely elaborate and probably really intensive scenes and plugins

[edgy laurel]

seperating OBS out, but quality isn't a concern. the differences with software x264 are completely lost in the wind with streaming. Thats only ever a concern with archival static media encoding

[livid flame]

Actually to be fair he has that graphic of the peanut don’t he, never considered that

[green marsh]

to be honest, with cases like Define 7/Meshify 2, you don't need a removable tray

[edgy laurel]

the extra production going on during his streams is pretty wild. all the 3D scenes, all the wild transitions.

[pure garnet]

also i’m sure that model uses up a fair bit of gpu for mocap

even if it’s a low poly peanut

[pastel thicket]

I have a weird bug, after transfering files from 1 hdd to a new ssd.
the files are transferd but on the old hdd the maps stays there it also say how much space the map still is but no files are in the folder.
but when i try to delete them it says the are not on the hdd any more.

[livid flame]

I forget the vtuber aspect of that

[pastel thicket]

but i cant delete the maps

[livid flame]

Makes sense now. Like normal streaming, pointless but with him you make good point

[green marsh]

i mean you can get Define 7 series cases to be like this

[frank zealot]

and?

[green marsh]

point of removable tray was ease of access

[pure garnet]

i would love for a removable tray

[frank zealot]

also becomes an instant test bench

[pure garnet]

the most annoying part of disassembling a pc for me is the eps connectors in most cases

[edgy laurel]

oddly, what peanut is using is the equivalent of a snapchat filter. in fact he's using a variation of snapcam thats modified

[topaz veldt]

That was FANCY stuff

[topaz veldt]

You gotta try planars with big teardrop earpads

[limpid galleon]

I wnat it to be perfect

[atomic garnet]

i mean its very good if that's what you want

[pure garnet]

[limpid galleon]

I used like 1,5 pea size

[atomic garnet]

yeah its just spread out

[limpid galleon]

Some of it stayed on the scraper tho

[topaz veldt]

lol my son has been playing Switch 2 on the G4 on 0 Pixel Brightness

[edgy laurel]

i mean, it'll be fine but you don't gain anything by going though all that trouble. its done now, so might as well just mount the cooler

[limpid galleon]

Ok

Thanks again 😁

[livid flame]

So it won’t be that intensive

[topaz veldt]

Damn, I have you beat. My first PC was a 386, but the first that I "built" was a 486 DX2, it was parts from my moms PC when she upgraded to a Pentium Pro (dual) 200

The first PC I built new from parts was a Pentium 2 333 Mhz (slot 1)

[frank zealot]

I had a 286 12Mhz in the 80's.
Then I went to a Pentium 133 for high school

The K6-2 was my first built PC.

and then the Audigy Live

[limpid galleon]

It turns on, but im getting red light on VGA

WHAT doed that mean

[topaz veldt]

I didn't ahve the live

I had the Audigy 2 I think

[frank zealot]

was it "Live" or "Platinum" that had the front bay?

the Audigy was just the card. There was a name change to add the front bay thingy-whatsit

[topaz veldt]

mine was whatever the highest tier was

Yeah, platinum

it was nice to have front access headphones w/ volume knob

[frank zealot]

that was awesome

I also had a Radeon All-In-Wonder at one point

so I had all of the ridiculous interfaces

[topaz veldt]

though its the #1 complaint of this chassis

[edgy laurel]

mine are super light clamp

[topaz veldt]

they're years old though yeah?

also apparently the pads are known to break down

[digital plume]

i am NOT getting these anytime soon

[topaz veldt]

those prices are whack

[edgy laurel]

new back in 2016 yeah

[topaz veldt]

yeah those puppies are broked in

its hilarious how old this headphone is

[edgy laurel]

it works

[topaz veldt]

1997 i think

Hart has this in their boutique shop but its only 4.5' it hink

[digital plume]

you ain't buying SHIT in Argentina

[vestal granite]

no i dont like this the plug is square not circular and everyone knows audio has to come in circular form

[digital plume]

how is a 4060 8gb $1400???

WHAT

[vestal granite]

united dollar states?

[digital plume]

yeah

or about 2 million argentine peso

[vestal granite]

thats silly

[digital plume]

im sure vehicles aren't as expensive right

a kawazaki ninja 400 0 km is between 13000 usd and 17000

[vestal granite]

i dont vehicles

[merry stirrup]

my homie actually needs these

[young void]

Gets ettt while its there fams, not the worst

[merry stirrup]

independence is an hour there and back tho

[topaz veldt]

yay - ordered a custom Hart cable for these HD 600s

[young void]

20$-$30 in gas and time myte be worth

[merry stirrup]

maybe since they’re hynix

[harsh sail]

zimbaba dollars?

[digital plume]

wtf is zimbaba, thats argentine pesos

the economy's fucked

[fringe vigil]

Zim

[topaz veldt]

@edgy laurel I will give it to sennheiser these are light

[south shuttle]

it will get looser trust

560s are even lighter

[edgy laurel]

i've always thought they feel so light they must not be very durable

but i've never broken them

then again I don't really physically break any of my hardware

(apart from foooking keyboard switches I GUESS)

[topaz veldt]

lol

[pliant prawn]

Anyone in here good with audio drivers? My 560s right ear cup just ate shit, after I used it for 20 minutes....

[topaz veldt]

welp lol

[edgy laurel]

confused what that has to do with drivers

[floral spear]

I am sad today

[edgy laurel]

oh, those drivers

[floral spear]

I saw a cool G25

[edgy laurel]

well, is it a cable issue?

[floral spear]

no wait g27 for 125$

someone bought it and resells it for 250$

[pliant prawn]

2nd pair to doo it... My hyperX wired right ear stopped working, so I boought 560s and they also stopped...

[edgy laurel]

Need to do some narrowing down of where the problem is

[fringe vigil]

Returned my oled

[edgy laurel]

no you didn't

and there it is @steel stream

[pliant prawn]

560s into 3.5mm jack on my case, HyperX using the USB thing they give. Tried on my MacBook.

idk

[edgy laurel]

if the driver is really dead, or some other sort of damage inside the headphone, there isn't much we can do here

probably use another amp next time

[topaz veldt]

well if the hyperx are usb...

[pliant prawn]

Well shoudk've known

[edgy laurel]

oh is one USB?

did i miss that

[pliant prawn]

Yeah that's whaat I tolkd myself

[topaz veldt]

yeah its unrelated if the HyperX are USB

[pliant prawn]

HyperX is USB to 3.5mm cable that connects to the headphones

[edgy laurel]

oh, then if you're killing one analog and one USB set in the same way, thats just a wild and unfortunate coincidence

[topaz veldt]

that USB thing is a little dac/amp

[brave panther]

is the cable replacable?

[topaz veldt]

yes

[pliant prawn]

For some reason the second I unplugged the hyperx USB voicemeter ate shit too.

[floral spear]

I have two generations of HyperX converters

one is a usb type a and the other is a type c

[brave panther]

i have the same doodad on my desk rn

[pliant prawn]

Could it be the PC?

[edgy laurel]

wait, were both headphones plugged into the same HyperX adapter/DAC amp when they died?

[pliant prawn]

No

560S died plugged into the 3.5mm jack on my pc case

[edgy laurel]

back to weird coincidence. i can't even begin to imagine something you played back killed two drivers on two different headphones

connected in different ways

[brave panther]

bro those are 120 ohm headphones, you need to use a actual dac and amp for them

[pliant prawn]

HyperX worked yesterday, I go to use em broke... I play War thunder with 560s to test also die

[edgy laurel]

120ohm isn't hard to drive. the dac/amp on many mid to high end boards is plenty sufficient

[pliant prawn]

Not fully needed

Like i'm not stupid I'm a audio tech... but this, idk this is weird asf

[brave panther]

tipical jack on phone and pc's pairs well with 30-40 ohm headphones

[topaz veldt]

@brave panther ordered these in "icy blue" (like my arya cable)

[gentle urchin]

Buying a motherboard with built in headphone amplifier was the most importante thingy

[steel stream]

https://tenor.com/view/lewissaunderson38-lewissaunderson-cry-crying-cry-meme-gif-11499408157122608476

[edgy laurel]

hell the dac/amp thats annoyingly only connected to the front panel output on my X670E Taichi drives my 300ohm HD650's as loud or louder than my Magni dedicated amp

[gentle urchin]

otherwise you have to get a seperate sound card

[merry stirrup]

going to see if a friend is willing to pick them up since theyre hynix

[fringe vigil]

What you think I should do

[brave panther]

nice, but be carefull as braided cables can have "scratchy" sound if they rub on your clothes and that sound gets conducted straight to the headphones

[topaz veldt]

meanwhile I have 320 ohm plugged into my MBP lol

[fringe vigil]

Replace the oled with. New one or get 70 dollars in exchange

[pliant prawn]

Aight so nothing I can do...? Cause If I get new pairs of headphones I don't want to kill an other one...

[topaz veldt]

They aren't braided

[steel stream]

what new OLED

[gentle urchin]

it do be having a headphone amp

[fringe vigil]

C5 replacement

[steel stream]

tbf MBP ship with high impedance headphone output

[topaz veldt]

does it?

[steel stream]

if using 3.5mm

[topaz veldt]

yeah 3.5mm

[gentle urchin]

flat cables are better?

[pliant prawn]

It's weird asf it stops working for 2 headphones... I've been using my HyperX for years no problem.

[steel stream]

yah

[edgy laurel]

I just find it annoying that they put a whole separate DAC and amp stage thats ONLY wired to the HD-Audio port for the front panel

[steel stream]

just keep the C5 imo

[gentle urchin]

what about 6.3mm

[fringe vigil]

It has a one tiny pixel dead though

[brave panther]

its more dependant on a sheeting material composition

[steel stream]

oh then return it Jorj

[edgy laurel]

I thought you returned it

[steel stream]

HyperX aren't high impedance though

[fringe vigil]

You think so

[steel stream]

if you have warranty/return period then I would 100% return it

[gentle urchin]

pixel policy is like 2-5 dead for replacement in EU

[steel stream]

I don't want dead pixels

[pliant prawn]

yes.... but the fact they also die, the saem way, diffrent inputs.

[fringe vigil]

The said to me we’ll replace it or give you 70 bucks

[gentle urchin]

1 dead = no dead pixels

[brave panther]

its this thing right?

[edgy laurel]

So I bought my C2 from Microcenter so I'd have to drive it back. If I bought online, I'm not even sure how you return that

[pliant prawn]

somethign is wrong somewhere

[gentle urchin]

just mail it

[fringe vigil]

They come to collect it duh

[steel stream]

take the replacement imo

[edgy laurel]

what is the original packaging isn't suitable? Whos paying for that?

[pliant prawn]

Other end is USB to connect to my pc

[edgy laurel]

who does?

[fringe vigil]

The delivery companies

[brave panther]

do you have a multimeter?

[pliant prawn]

yes

[fringe vigil]

In UK it’s prob different to how usa do it

We have couriers that take it for you and send it off

[pliant prawn]

yeah that

[edgy laurel]

its a basic USB sound card

[pliant prawn]

ik

[brave panther]

use it to verify that both drivers have 120 ohms

[edgy laurel]

so a USB dac/amp of unknown quality and performance

[edgy laurel]

good idea

[brave panther]

its specificly for cloud 2 headphones

[pliant prawn]

I didn't use that for my 560s lmao...

[edgy laurel]

i know, just saying

[pliant prawn]

wait hodl up

[edgy laurel]

https://tenor.com/view/brave-heart-mel-gibson-gif-10465865

[brave panther]

this is pinout for 3.5mm

[edgy laurel]

lol that mono 2-pole looks.. funny

[green marsh]

there are multiple 4-pins standards tho

[brave panther]

its most likely 3 pin tho

[edgy laurel]

if its the sennheisers, it'll be 3-pole

[green marsh]

4-pin standards are 'screw you guys'

[edgy laurel]

and the HyperX's are probably seperates so also 3-pole

[frank cypress]

side monister arrived but it has the worst stand known to man

[limpid galleon]

should i just click simple volume?
