probably still need to run the command prompt as admin

lookslike you're running as "desk"

[frank zealot]

that's the user account, and it is an admin

[wraith steeple]

[vestal granite]

but i think with windows its not like ur sudoing, you might have to run the command actually within the context of an administrator shell

prompt str would look like

[halcyon marlin]

i just wanna ask something...is it even worth the risk of "upgrading" the soldered ram on a laptop?

[edgy laurel]

if you have to ask..

[halcyon marlin]

it's a Lenovo ThinkPad X13 Gen 1 with 8gb of soldered ram and 8gb isn't enough for everyday stuff (even light gaming)

motherboard replacement of this laptop is expensive (for me, a student in a third world country) on aliexpress

https://tftcentral.co.uk/news/lg-announce-the-32gx870b-their-first-32-4k-tandem-woled-monitor

RGWB, not RGB, but still cool

if Asus makes a glossy version then maybe that’ll be my next monitor

[edgy laurel]

you know, with how good DLSS is, i struggle to see the usefulness of the dual mode functions

[shell void]

it’s for occasionally playing valorant or cs2 or overwatch at 480Hz

[edgy laurel]

the real knucklehead comp gamers aren't buying these displays in the first place

[shell void]

i’m the perfect customer for dualmode

id only occasionally use it which is the point

i wish it was possible for them to do 4K240 & 2K960 though

[edgy laurel]

so that says "Primary RGB Tandem" but its not RGB?

[shell void]

yeah it’s tandem RGWB like the LG G5 and that 1440p 540Hz monitor called the PG27AQWP

and also like the new 39” 5120x2160p panel

their marketing is kinda confusing

[edgy laurel]

thankfully you exist michael, can't keep this stuff straight

Yeah, now Asus make a glossy version using that panel

[pure garnet]

i have a dual mode display and it’s pretty nice

i only really use the 320 mode for val

[hoary hatch]

My roommate is too

He mostly uses 4k but switches to 1080 for overwatch or marvel rivals

[shell void]

the “primary RGB Tandem” in their marketing comes from using multiple stacks of blue, green, and red elements to produce White Light (this is where the W in W-OLED comes from)

that White Light is then filtered through either RGB or RGWB color filter sub-pixels

it seems that they’re going to continue selling both tandem RGWB and RGB

RGB panels will have better color purity, grey uniformity, color gradient smoothness, and text quality, but they’ll be dimmer

[wraith steeple]

[shell void]

i hope that 32” 4K240 Tandem RGWB panel is going to be available in the first half of 2026

[fallow crown]

Fuckk SignalRGB. They forced me to update and now I NEED to have their stupid software open just so my fans can be set to Blue, or else the lightin is turned off

Worked great for 2 years

[edgy laurel]

just set once in openrgb, done

[shell void]

[pure garnet]

just don’t buy rgb hardware

no software required

[shell void]

pink led gang

[pure garnet]

ong

[hoary hatch]

Corsair fan defect gang?

Actually I think they turn purple when they fail

[pure garnet]

my motherboard has a pink led under the dragon

but it’s not detected by any rgb software so i think it’s static pink

[wraith steeple]

So the year of new is upon us

[hoary hatch]

No dragons on my MSI

[brisk jolt]

I should swap out my cl26 back to the cl30 since i cba to download software

[young void]

Oops all dragons

[shell void]

we finally have comparison photos of the new qd oled black shield coating

well msi is calling it dark armor but whatever same shit as asus

[young void]

i did install a 2nd sag bracket to the end

[shell void]

it is infact darker

[pure garnet]

all this to mimic the power of a woled

[brisk jolt]

Should get a car model kit and use the wing as the anti sag bracket

[shell void]

this looks like a nice improvement but they’re up against tandem woled now which can do true black

[young void]

Looks pretty good

[topaz veldt]

ugh

[young void]

I dont like the dragons but she is reall noice

If i flashed the 800w bios or 2000w could probs hit best but mehh

[fringe vigil]

Ak I’m returning that C5 for another cus wdym dead pixel

And marks on the back

[wraith steeple]

[steel stream]

wdym marks on the back

[fringe vigil]

I’m hoping the new one isn’t the same

[steel stream]

hopefully

[edgy laurel]

I was very confused. He was talking to me about some cosmetic marks on the back of the TV and how someone, not sure who, was going to give him 70 bucks for it

dunno how they knew, still not clear if it was open box or not

then the dead pixel situation came up

[topaz veldt]

wtf

[edgy laurel]

day 2 of saying he's returning it, still not sure if thats actually going to happen

[topaz veldt]

I do love the slight mystery at all times

[fringe vigil]

How do I know it’s open box

[frank zealot]

blinks

does Jorj know how retail works?

like, has he ever set foot into a Best Buy?

[wraith steeple]

He's not US based so no

[steel stream]

idk if they have those in Azerbaijan

[fringe vigil]

wtf open box mean it came in a box mf

[wraith steeple]

Curry's most definitely

[fringe vigil]

Nah even curry’s would send me a perfect one

[frank zealot]

holy shit lol

[edgy laurel]

jorj. open box means it was returned (by someone else) and then put on sale for less than retail price

vs. brand new

[fringe vigil]

Nah I doubt it, I saw the Black Friday deal and I was like yeah I’m getting that and the retail store is credited aswell

It was the cheapest one too

[frank zealot]

or was a display model

[fringe vigil]

This one was like 750-799 the other retailers were 849 so I went with the cheaper one

But that retail store has been around for years and is credited here

[turbid locust]

sounds like open box price

[fringe vigil]

It was Black Friday too so I thought why not

[edgy laurel]

credited?

like credible? all credible retail stores offer open box items, its just labeled as such

[hoary hatch]

I'm starting to regret not getting 5080 for $950

[fringe vigil]

Idk it didn’t say anything about open box item it was on Black Friday sale so

I’m gonna tell them don’t give me an open box give me a new one

[subtle ocean]

wont let me not reply now srry

[pure garnet]

haven’t you had this thing like a month

i guess uk is different but that’d be a manufacturer problem now, no?

[wraith steeple]

https://tenor.com/view/unitedgamer-woah-crash-bandicoot-gif-23319448

[frank zealot]

hmmmm...

1099 5080... and I have 880$ in credits. Do I bite? Or do I wait?

[fringe vigil]

They tried to tell me the marks on the back were manufacturing process but I think they’re bullshitting

[wraith steeple]

if it's working fine then no need to make a fuss over it

[fringe vigil]

I wouldn’t mind until I found that one dead pixel

Can you spot it

[topaz veldt]

@low sorrel I got this thing

[turbid locust]

ngl shits only going to get more expensive as the ram debacle continues

I am VERY happy with my decision to buy a 5090 when I did.

[hot stratus]

I can't wait for CES 🤤🤤🤤

What will I buy this year

[topaz veldt]

well what do you already have

[hot stratus]

Well this year I bought a M4 Macbook and a Roborock. Thinking I will get AI glasses this year

[topaz veldt]

I also got an M4 MBP

I dunno what is coming out but I want it

[wraith steeple]

If SilverStone doesn't release that Alta T1 to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the TJ07, we will riot 🗣️ 📢

[hot stratus]

M4 goated.

[hot stratus]

The tech I watch every year at CES is

TV

Robot vacuum

[shell void]

the headset that optimum tech just made a video about looks cool

[hot stratus]

Is that the 10k res headset?

[shell void]

3840x3552p per eye 90Hz OLED

[hot stratus]

Disappointed it wasnt 120 hz

[shell void]

7680x7104p 120Hz would be bananas

[wraith steeple]

[burnt socket]

curved VA monitors exist for some reason

[wraith steeple]

They have always existed

[shell void]

VA panels have a very narrow optimal viewing angle, and curving them helps alleviate some of the gamma shifting (washing out) that happens on the edges when you're sitting close to a VA panel

that's why most of them are curved

plus curves are just cool

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hxqlQwPaRg @wraith steeple a video for you

[wraith steeple]

we even have Roman and Mitja in on the MORA lore

Yes

That is the der8auer

We made him emperor the second he joined

[shell void]

all roads lead to MoRa

the true endgame for a tuner

anything less is cope

[topaz veldt]

I like Roman but don't let TG involved, they'll release radiators about 6 months after watercooling is over

[shell void]

xD

[hot stratus]

What's MOra

[wraith steeple]

About that

[shell void]

it stands for monster radiator, it's a large external radiator for pc watercooling

[shell void]

hook it up to a mora

[topaz veldt]

right?

because I have 5090 TUF block that no one seems to want

[shell void]

tiny pcs with huge external radiators please me

theyre amusing

[topaz veldt]

I wrote down all my tune settings for this 8000 CL32 setup. Maybe later I will pull the DIMMs out of the Apex setup and put them in mITX and see what's up

I was thinking of throwing the LF3 280 on the SFF but apparently the pump won't work on this mobo

[wraith steeple]

Though if he tries to compete against the god tier DP Ultra, we will launch a holy war

[topaz veldt]

I don't think anyone ever needs to worry about TG stealing business

[shell void]

"DP Ultra"

[topaz veldt]

unless the business is involved in retirement homes

[shell void]

im not familiar with this, sounds suspicious

[wraith steeple]

[young void]

[topaz veldt]

[shell void]

my thoughts exactly

[wraith steeple]

[topaz veldt]

OH... yes

[teal orbit]

We just got fiber installed

I'm gonna have to ask their support because I have no ipv6, no idea how to change modem settings (if there even are any), and all their website pages are only for if you use their Plume router

[brave panther]

do you have it disabled on your router?

[teal orbit]

Right now I have it set to prefix delegation dhcpv6 requesting a /56, its probably not right but its a local ISP and they have no info on what ipv6 settings are right on the website

That's just set because that's how the old cable ISP was

[brave panther]

lmao
humidifier already failed on a 1 month old newly installed unit

[teal orbit]

Maybe I should test a /64

It's also cgnat but their support said we can ask for a dedicated IP after installation

[brave panther]

as always
please sign a 2 year contract, we can deal with this later (never gets dealt with)

Updated these are all the parts the thermostat s the power supply the fan and graphics card I already have in my position and cannot became! So what are the thoughts 💭🤔

[signal timber]

How did you make screenshots that long

[pure garnet]

i opened that list and have so many questions i think you’d be better off just starting over

[edgy laurel]

win+shift+S, click and drag

or some variants of android have a screenshot function that'll scroll

web browser do too on desktop

through extensions

[turbid locust]

You guys see the rumors that 5090’s will hit $5000 in 2026 lmao

[signal timber]

I think what he did is just zoom out

[dawn plover]

Samsung screenshot allows you to stretch it out if you're on a website!

[edgy laurel]

called it

[signal timber]

Samsung always having the good things

[dawn plover]

So is it good as a first time build?

[edgy laurel]

no, not really

[dawn plover]

Explain?

[edgy laurel]

use PCPP next time

[shell void]

some day

[dawn plover]

I wanted to ask people who actually know what they're doing rather than just entering it in a machine to do it for me you just put the parts into the thing and then it just gives you a total price I want to know how good the price to performance is going to be!🙏😅

[turbid locust]

we would literally throw parts into PCPP

[dawn plover]

Okay what does PC part picker do?

So well that everybody's recommending it?

Cuz some rising it just tells you the total of the price of the machine!???

[steel stream]

good

[pure garnet]

for starters ditch the 5050

[edgy laurel]

pcpp doesn't do anything for you, it just makes displaying and and sharing a list possible rather than these screenshots no one wants to deal with. you'll get better help that way.

[young void]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/93rr9C

Like so

[pure garnet]

yeah that’s a good starter build

just order those parts

[turbid locust]

why has my 5090 been a better investment than my actual investments

[steel stream]

yeah it's kinda nuts isn't it

[edgy laurel]

-just get a single 1TB NVMe, ditch the two drives you have selected
-$75 for a cooler for a chip that can be cooled by a ball of tin foil (aka the stock cooler?)
-5500 is trash, 5600 minimum but any of those chips NEW in 2026 is crazy. buy someones old one, they're 5 years old.
-$110 for a new 5 year old B550 base model motherboard is robbery, don't do it
-RTX 5050 is awful, buy a used, faster card.
-Why one $20 fan? ditch it
-Thermaltake Smart series PSU's are literal fire hazards
-You don't need more thermal paste

[vestal granite]

[pure garnet]

oh so like $500 usd

[vestal granite]

before X3D came out

I’m almost willing to sacrifice my 7700x for science

[narrow gate]

To buy new cpu yes

[pure garnet]

are we even sure vsoc is actually what made them kaboom

because how is 1.45 "lethal" but 1.3 is safe

You don't get discounts upon renewal with Proton last I checked. You could violate their Terms of Use by creating a new account, sure... but if they catch on, you'll lose it.

[turbid locust]

My 8500G might’ve had the best thermal paste application I’ve ever seen lol

weird things no one does because its pointless

I’d like to introduce 2x apps users can use

YouTube:

Incudes the following:

• saves cookies for log in
• built in ad block like ublock

https://github.com/Koriebonx98/Youtube_App

ITV Player:

• simple app to use itv site

https://github.com/Koriebonx98/ITV_App

both are open source c#/wpf

[merry stirrup]

the fuck is 2x app

[undone relic]

Yourube with an Adblock, and itv player

But they windows apps as they don’t have a pc port

[edgy laurel]

was he typing before posting that? or was that just pasted in like he's spamming it places

[merry stirrup]

youre better off sending the malware to me directly in an exe file

[undone relic]

It’s open source… can see on my GitHub

[merry stirrup]

it may not be but yeah just copy pasting a github link with minimal explanation isnt great advertisement

[undone relic]

Yeah was typing but havw copied from hete and pasted in my own server “Game OS”

[undone relic]

I’ve explained in this message

[indigo tree]

If Linus has said on the record that ad blockers are Piracy, and this server has a rule against Piracy...

[oak vector]

Im too stupid to use shit from github most of the time

[undone relic]

It’s a simple app, c#/wpf and it has a built in ad block like unlock does

[edgy laurel]

literally spamming apps meant to circumvent one of this channels source of revenue. nice.

[oak vector]

Im willing to bet this shit steals yo passwords

[indigo tree]

No, but probably youyr sessions

[undone relic]

If that’s the case that’s my bad, not intending break rules just made a simple app to use on desktop and for other projects

[undone relic]

No it doesn’t, it’s a simple app that uses the yourube url. Project is open source so can read files and construct yourself

[oak vector]

Ngl im too stupid for the words “construct yourself”

[indigo tree]

wtf? There is no way my floppy drive...nevermind, im stupid...i forgot to sel;ect my floppy drive

[oak vector]

lol

[undone relic]

You just download the source files and build in vs, thos way you can edit code, remove or add other stuff

[undone relic]

Safest way to see if code is genuine or if it’s got malware etc

[indigo tree]

*etc

Et Cetera

It's Latin for The Cetera(jk)

[undone relic]

Okay well anyways. I’m gonna add more features later like mini player, casting so it’s more like console apps but for pc

[indigo tree]

El Nino is Spanish for The Nino

[pure garnet]

another web app

https://tenor.com/view/fat-luffy-gif-27301758

[undone relic]

It’s a side project that I made to work with my main project.

Lot of people use playnite so stuff like this is better than adding an app to desktop via edge/chrome. As this is a portable app it makes it more convenient for those who want a console like experience or a YouTube App for pc?

[pure garnet]

this is just edge bro

[merry stirrup]

lol chat gippity

[undone relic]

Yeah but as an app to make easier for other to use in projects lije playnite and retroarch or other launcher apps

[edgy laurel]

and now you know (or could have googled it)

[indigo tree]

Google wouldnt have helps

[indigo tree]

Thanks, I'll try it

[edgy laurel]

yes, it would. if you think there isn't a single written reference for 3.5" floppy write speed on the entire internet after 40 years, you're mad

[indigo tree]

Look at the result...

[edgy laurel]

you are detached from reality, my friend

[indigo tree]

Google says
25-50KB/s
But the benchmark says up to 96KB/s

[edgy laurel]

"google" - the ai result at the top of a search

[indigo tree]

Google just tells you what other people have gotten, not actual tests of ther working unit I have

[indigo tree]

As opposed to what? opening every single result on the first page and reading all of it?

[edgy laurel]

educating yourself with research, not looking at the first summary answer at the top of google and calling it done.

but you're right, no one on the planet has ever written about how fast they can write to a floppy in the real world.

I can't be bothered to talk about floppy disk write speeds anymore. truly no one cares

[topaz veldt]

Just why

[oak vector]

Fuck the google ai it pisses me off so much
And half the time it directly contradicts itself too lmao

I’d rather read multiple different sources and make my own mind up about it

[indigo walrus]

I mean, this is the correct way to come to your own conclusions anyway, regardless of Machine Learning algorithm being used. Machine Learning is fine as an aid but should NEVER be relied on as fact. Ever.

[indigo tree]

I already know multiple sources are gonna say Floppy speeds are gonna be 24-48KB/s. So it's useless to me. Plus it doesnt tell me how well my unit is working. Especially considering it's about 20 years old

[topaz veldt]

Guys I feel bad

[brisk jolt]

What do you feel bad for

[topaz veldt]

Two dudes were at elevator shaft exit on Dam in Arc.... exchanging gun fire... I killed both, took their shit, and walked out

i guess you could do that if you yanked hard enough on a cooler that was stuck

what the dog doong

where did you find that

The internet.

Bless your soul, Google Search Ai Overview - no shit.

The pins on this particular socket appear bent or damaged, which would likely prevent the computer from functioning correctly.

[south shuttle]

why is the first thing in 2026 to make me laugh on the internet this

[south shuttle]

ask it whenever straightening pins on that will fix it

[indigo walrus]

I don't willingly speak to Machine Learning algorithms... you're welcome to though.

[south shuttle]

fair

well, latest free chatgpt model is able to determine that it’s not easily or fixable

by straightening the pins

[vestal granite]

maybe someone put lead weights in the PC case and then shook it up a bunch

like those barrels full of rocks they use to smash up other rocks

[south shuttle]

maybe they wanted to release the cpu from the socket with pliers and accidentally took a bite from the socket and cpu

[burnt socket]

atleast it's correct

my (imaginary) 9950x3d wondering why the fuck is it in a a620 board

[brisk jolt]

good thing its imaginary

it looks like it took the whole ILM with it though

[frank zealot]

Happy new years CST!

[heavy mantle]

well

you can have my ep45-u3 bord for replacment

[merry stirrup]

the ilm is secured with plastic

no screws

super stuck paste+brittle plastic= rip socket off board

see, they just put hte socket on top of the ILM

[devout ridge]

and that’s why you use a mechanical connection instead of an adhesive one

[low sorrel]

@turbid locust @brisk jolt @shell void @pure garnet how do i dodge these flashes?

[brisk jolt]

you dont immediately swing

i know you love the “me go reyna me swing” but thats just braindead

2nd one is whatever but 1st one is hella predictable

[low sorrel]

jett: "swing hooka with me off rip"

[brisk jolt]

personally i jiggle that first

like jiggling for info is hella underrated

[pure garnet]

yeah you got timing’d

like i’m ass but you swung frame 1

[low sorrel]

im just more impressed on these flashes

they just barely popped on my screen

[brisk jolt]

that wasnt timing at all, 1 frame thing is plausible

[pure garnet]

he swung the second you can get there

how is that not timing

[brisk jolt]

2nd one he just threw it directly at the wall in front super up high, 1st one he bounced it off a metal thing top right of the tp door

[brisk jolt]

timing is something absurd, what ur describing is normal tendency

[pure garnet]

i think we’re using 2 different definitions for the word

[brisk jolt]

we are

the timing you’re describing is pretty expected

its more like “normal time u get to the location”

[pure garnet]

yes that’s what it means

knowing when players arrive

granted it’s not much of a skill in valorant since you’re locked in baby jail for buy time

vs positioning from both teams in cs

[brisk jolt]

im used to timing being smth like “i hold this for 2 years and the moment i unscope they swing”

[arctic bronze]

[low sorrel]

it both

imma be fr im laughing at you for doing typical reyna things if u were in my game

i just fuckin hate reynas

i havent played since like late november

im not counting the single game the other day since i literally havent played in a month, didnt have time to recover, playing in a laggy server and was in just to fill the 5th

[brisk eagle]

No?
Dead pixel column on the monitor likely caused by the impact at the top right

Looks like someone punched it or it landed on the corner of something

[ripe needle]

Ah I thought it was odd that the black square was directly where I punched it

[brisk eagle]

Hm
Maybe punching the gpu could fix the monitor

[green marsh]

connect another device/computer, see if the problems stay. If yes, then it's the monitor. Simple test

[ripe needle]

I feel like using a hammer would be better

[brisk eagle]

Theres literally an impact mark

[ripe needle]

Because hammer fixes stuff

[brisk eagle]

Hitting stuff always solves all of my problems

[ripe needle]

Can you hit the GPU for me I'm scared

[brisk eagle]

Hammer and nail should fix this monitor right up

[green marsh]

ah right, didn't se the top right corner. I am still waking up

[ripe needle]

[wraith steeple]

I've also considered the Apex as well, and for $250 USD, it's pretty reasonable as it comes with a D5 (albeit it's not a Laing/Lowara/Xylem, but it's one of the better D5 clones out there)

[frank zealot]

I like that it's more than just "3 sheets of acrylic and screws"

[turbid locust]

Oh and it’s $50 cheaper lol

no i have not touched my main stuff yet

it is working and stable so i left it alone

i got 8th place for 7800x3d so far though

[wraith steeple]

This is the biggest reason why I'm opting for the unique side panel Distro since it appears I don't have to change too much of the build as it looks like the 280 should work with no problem

Though I would probably personally use a telescopic fittings for that 360 to 280 run

cool beans

I could perhaps just check out my 7600X with b650i and slap the 9950X3D once Im done to check it out

Ill do that when Im free next week

because I know damn fuckin well that 7600X does 6200 1.2vsoc while the 9950x3d needs 1.25 region

what’s with the 1 random fan

@shell void it's so over

If you run an aio in the formdt1, the fan above the cpu on the radiator must be a slim fan.

ah okay

you didn’t have the case in the list so didn’t see

it is, its just a custom part its at the bottom 🙂

[viral iron]

huge

[topaz veldt]

M3

It would fit in an M2 also, but originally it was supposed to have a 5090 Master which does not fit

[topaz veldt]

not really

Its like 10mm longer than a terra, about 30mm taller

[pure garnet]

shut off too many services and i still haven’t gotten ethernet working, maybe it’s a sign to just not use it

yeah terra is proper small. just shorter but fatter than T1

yeah

I just wish the GPUs were terra-able without compromise

but if my son gets his own setup dedicated in a couple years I can do like a 5070 Ti equiv

[shell void]

surely you can fit a 5090FE in that

[edgy laurel]

well, i think we both know they didn't really expect everyone to need to run 5090's in such a small case

[shell void]

but you must

heck yeah 9950X3D and 5090 in da Terra

[viral iron]

how is the temps?

[shell void]

supposedly great but he didnt post photos

[viral iron]

[edgy laurel]

lets be honest, FE isn't "great" in general but ya know

good enough

[viral iron]

mainly curious on cpu temps

[topaz veldt]

I can fit a 5090 FE in a lot of things... except my checkout cart

[topaz veldt]

lol horrible

I could not run a 265k with a B580 without power limiting things

[viral iron]

air cooled tho

[topaz veldt]

well obviously

[edgy laurel]

obviously the solution is

or

i genuinely think @topaz veldt should take on a project like that. just think

you like buying things, you like problem solving, you have the ability to fab or get fabbed custom parts...

i just wanna see someone use the Lobo https://modultra.com/shop/ols/products/modultra-pump-block-plain-heatsink-combo

debating between Strong SRT420 4K and a Xiaomi Mi Box S 3rd Gen

but both only have 2gb of ram unsure if that's a big worry

[hoary hatch]

Shield tv pro or apple tv 4k

[shell void]

both

@steel stream @pure garnet no more triangle cubes

[pure garnet]

legacy resolutions are saved

what are the best settings for Fortnite with a 3080 8gb equivalent? (A2000 6gb)

dx12 straight up crashed

[edgy laurel]

if the game is crashing, you've got other problems you need to sort out before worrying about settings

[scarlet iron]

Too expensive unfortunately

[digital plume]

probably my 8gb of ram

[edgy laurel]

even then, games don't just crash (unless you've modified windows default page file settings)

but if this system has 8GB of RAM, you need to be on performance mode with the lowest possible settings

so much display news recently, life is good

[shell void]

refreshing to see because monitor tech didnt really change between 2022 to 2025

[edgy laurel]

it do be that time of year

[steel stream]

2026 is gonna be my year

Display news already looking good

[edgy laurel]

yer done, cut off

2025 was your year

[shell void]

u already got the lg g5 brother

[steel stream]

I just found a 48" B4 for like $340 nearby

[topaz veldt]

like a bris

[edgy laurel]

new?

[steel stream]

FBM

but the dude was using it as a monitor so I bet it's still in good condition

[edgy laurel]

welp. second monitor time

[shell void]

a perfect tv for watching youtube in bed

[edgy laurel]

i'd move this second PC and ultrawide off my desk and do that

[steel stream]

yeah that was the idea

I gotta measure the stand at the foot of my bed though

[pure garnet]

fortnite will run (poorly) but not crash on igpus so no that's not why

[edgy laurel]

if its too narrow, these things exist

[steel stream]

i run a perlesmith for the G5 and it's great, so I wouldn't be sad buying another

[edgy laurel]

guy wants $450 for a 42" C4

why are people so lazy and sloppy with listing descriptions on FBM

proofread and give some useful information people

[steel stream]

$500 is the average for C2s around here it's nuts

[topaz veldt]

Anyone think of what these holes might be for?

They are the wrong dimension in both axis for a sata ssd

[edgy laurel]

what panel is that?

the side?

oh, the botom

[topaz veldt]

bottom yeah

[edgy laurel]

pump/res mount i'd guess

can't think of anything else

[topaz veldt]

its weird though I can't think of anything with that bolt pattern

[edgy laurel]

went through the manual, doesn't touch on it at all

[steel stream]

shits and giggles

[topaz veldt]

yeah no info anywhere

[steel stream]

wow B5 48 has jumped from 550 to 700

[topaz veldt]

[wraith steeple]

[topaz veldt]

This RAM kit

[burnt socket]

[topaz veldt]

expo is 1.45

[pure garnet]

that’s pretty good for h24m

[topaz veldt]

its weird af

[turbid locust]

That was just the 6000c26 H24M bin

there were no 1.4v H24M kits

[topaz veldt]

its just weird because M-die doesn't usually like tight timings like that

[turbid locust]

binned

why do you think shit was EOL after like 2 months lmfao

[pure garnet]

probably couldn’t even find enough to keep binning it

[topaz veldt]

that kits not EOL

[turbid locust]

100% EOL

[pure garnet]

why does my cpu only work well when the radiator is frozen

trying to mess with a couple things and it’s dying at barely over stock now

[topaz veldt]

erm...wat

[turbid locust]

[topaz veldt]

[pure garnet]
