Amber is more of a yellow actually.

[ripe flicker]

hi im on a ryzen 5 3600 and ddr4 2666mghz 2x8 and my motherboard is a320-k and my gpu is 3060ti do y'all suggest just me maxing out my Am4 build? or try and build a am5

[oak vector]

Or black if you let it marinade long enough

[brave panther]

coolant is clear if its straight water lol

[low sorrel]

wait

[topaz veldt]

Nah, mine is nearly clear and its not straight water

[low sorrel]

i can use my get out of jail free card for this

im colorblind

[brave panther]

tf you drive

[topaz veldt]

google "evans waterless coolant"

[random flame]

Okay then. Here you go for memorization.

[low sorrel]

the brake fluid that we use is clear

[low sorrel]

thats red

[brave panther]

lol never seen that

[random flame]

And yellow.

And brown.

And orange.
And all those colors in different shades.

[topaz veldt]

doesn't pressurize when hot

[low sorrel]

see thats brown

[random flame]

That's orange.

[brave panther]

interesting

[low sorrel]

thats brown

[random flame]

And your screen's contrast is really high.

[brave panther]

so like 3m engineered fluid for cars

[random flame]

That's why it looks wrong.

[low sorrel]

i think hdr is fucked

[topaz veldt]

Its great because it doesn't freeze and it doesn't boil

[low sorrel]

because it looked different on my screen

[topaz veldt]

at least not in car temperature ranges

[low sorrel]

but the screenshot was weird

[random flame]

Yeah, it's supposed to look like this.^

[brave panther]

brown and orange are the same thing btw

[indigo walrus]

On Windows, at least.

https://youtu.be/wh4aWZRtTwU

[steel stream]

damn your HDR is fucked fucked

[low sorrel]

no no my screenshot is fucked fucked

[random flame]

In a sense, just with one being darker and one being brighter and more vibrant.

[pure garnet]

don't buy the cheapest hdr monitor chat

[low sorrel]

it looked fine until i hit win shift s

[random flame]

Then again, there is a way to make brown look vibrant too, sooo...

[brave panther]

watch the technollogy connections video to find out

[steel stream]

open snipping tool and go to settings

[topaz veldt]

I need to turn off RTX HDR in Arc next time I think about it

[steel stream]

there you go

[topaz veldt]

This is called "baby's first summer"

[steel stream]

flashbangs?

[random flame]

I really don't need to, considering I already know this from experience as is.

[low sorrel]

lol

[topaz veldt]

nah it does super weird shit and the bloom is horrible

[brave panther]

is there a brown light?
no

[random flame]

This tends to come with the territory of being an artist who fusses a lot over colors and shades.

[indigo walrus]

But the VESA standards people said their new "HDR0001" rating means the monitor is HDR?!?!?@@1?@

[low sorrel]

hey it's hdr 1000

[random flame]

Of course not, but only if you choose to be technicaly about it.

[steel stream]

https://tenor.com/view/shock-shocker-shocked-black-guy-gif-27526370

[low sorrel]

it just has some weird ass osd quirks

[random flame]

... Which most people won't.

That's really why we can't just be technical about it either.

[low sorrel]

also @steel stream explain how the fuck did acer matte coating get even worse then my old monitor

[random flame]

Nobody cares and it'll just annoy or confuse people when you try to explain it that way.

[steel stream]

get fucked I think

[low sorrel]

it looked like i put my finger prints all over it even though i haven't touched it

[steel stream]

that's matte coatings for you

[random flame]

I know because I've been there with stuff before, using scientific points or explanations and nobody getting it or immediately questioning why I brought it up when nobody was talking about it or wanted a technical explanation for a simple conversation.

[topaz veldt]

@low sorrel earlier today I saw a dude take out another dude at red lake elevator - I downed the dude but had a revive... dude was pleading "Dude I have like 5 very expensive things on me, if you res me I will give you 3 of them"

[low sorrel]

ok what i just kill you and take all 5

[topaz veldt]

Exactly what I did

[turbid locust]

I think 3/4 top radiator mounts on my OBT are stripped or somethings in the threads or something.

[topaz veldt]

I told him "Bro you know... I was going to revive you because you're shitty, but now that I know you have a bunch of shit... you know what I have to do"

[random flame]

In short: it's brown to people, even on-screen, and just because there is no such thing as a brown light... Doesn't mean they care... Especially in the digital art world.
Some do, but most don't and trying to explain it will go way over people's heads often times.

Just the same as people questioning the point of saying "aluminium" or "sea star" in a normal conversation. Lmao.

[low sorrel]

i love arc raiders i just spawned in 15 minutes late got ticked, fireballed popped in the first 30 seconds

[topaz veldt]

the late spawn is terrible

they should limit it to like 3 mins late

I spawned in earlier with like 11 mins left

[low sorrel]

nah

limit it to free kits

[topaz veldt]

well then you're assured to get free kit killed every time

[turbid locust]

I need Floppa to wake up

[steel stream]

wait has he just been sleeping all day?

[turbid locust]

I said he was going to bed at like noon my time today lol

[topaz veldt]

yeah he's been working at a daycare in MN

[turbid locust]

LOL

[steel stream]

what unemployment does to a MF

[fervent chasm]

Tada

[steel stream]

I thought he wasn't allowed within 500 ft of one

[topaz veldt]

The thing about MN daycares is...

[steel stream]

true true

[topaz veldt]

I was watching Asmonds vid about it, its so amazing

[oak vector]

[fringe vigil]

Billy

[low sorrel]

@topaz veldt i got you a gift if i can get out of here

[topaz veldt]

I've got that one 🙂

I believe

[low sorrel]

do you?

it's the best augment in the game

[topaz veldt]

Save it for me I can check later

[oak vector]

Jorj

[fringe vigil]

Did I ask you if u knew chase Atlantic

[oak vector]

Think you have

[fringe vigil]

I’ve seen them

[oak vector]

Oh sweet

[oak vector]

I have an alright list of people I’ve seen

Post Malone
Elton John
Guns n Roses
Illy
Red Hot Chilli Peppers
Adele
Foo Fighters (just before Taylor passed)

And I’ll probably see linkin park in march too

[fringe vigil]

Elton John!

Adele

Where’s linkn park playing I wanna see them

[oak vector]

My first concert 🫶

God she was amazing

[hoary hatch]

My first concert was Alice Cooper

[oak vector]

Idk they’re doing a big tour with their new singer

[fringe vigil]

Ariana grande completely sold out

[hoary hatch]

Some kind of Christmas thing I think

[fringe vigil]

Wekeend coming too

LINKPark coming UK in summer

[turbid locust]

Mine was John Cougar randomly

[edgy laurel]

mine was Coldplay

[turbid locust]

The first I went to on my own accord was Shadow of Intent and Born Of Osiris

[edgy laurel]

warped tour in like 2013 lol

[turbid locust]

never got to experience warped tour unfortunately

My oldest sister did though

[edgy laurel]

i really don't remember it

lol funny seeing Bring me to the horizon just randomly thrown in there (2010)

[turbid locust]

That checks out

That’s when Bring me the Horizon was still deathcore

[low sorrel]

I just threw a snowball into a group of 5 raiders and they all lit me up like a christmas tree before realizing lol

i can smell em

[topaz veldt]

I threw a snitch cell into a group of like 4 or 5 guys it was hilarious

@low sorrel I am loading Arc to see if I have that BP

I have this one

[low sorrel]

i have the survivor

invite me let me gift it to you

no reason to ever make the cautious when the looting mk2 (basically same thing but much cheaper) and the mk3 surivior exists (medium shield more carry weight and inf crawl)

[merry stirrup]

damn so homies montech century just died

for reference he put it in on xmas

[topaz veldt]

what is a montech century

[south shuttle]

series of psus

[pure garnet]

who would've guessed the cheap no name psu

always pay the 10 bucks more for an rmx folks

[low sorrel]

hey it was spl a tier afaik

[south shuttle]

not true

[edgy laurel]

its not a no-name

[south shuttle]

you will probably find a category or specific test/s where the century is bit better than rmx

[hoary hatch]

are any assassins creed games worth picking up
AC Odyssey $8
AC Valhalla $6
AC Origins $6

[edgy laurel]

only played Odyssey and Valhalla and loved both, but you have to love that style of game. Ubisoft style

[south shuttle]

optionally wait until epic gives them away for free

[edgy laurel]

get to new area, get to tower and unfog the map, go to poi's and do the quests, move to new area and repeat

[hoary hatch]

I've played AC 3, AC 4, and AC whatever the one is called where the faces were missing

[edgy laurel]

Odyssey was my favorite

[random flame]

Huh, now there's a random console fact I didn't know.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MEphH1qfdmk

[edgy laurel]

the early AC's are nothing like the 3 you listed, different kind of games entirely

[pure garnet]

the newer ones are like a soft reset

[hoary hatch]

yeah I didn't get far into Brotherhood

[pure garnet]

ac 1-3 was one timeline

then 4-the 2016 entry were something diff, then now they're different again

[edgy laurel]

From Origin on, they are classic Ubi games where you just do the above gameplay loop but in different settings

[hoary hatch]

floppa lives

[edgy laurel]

more action RPG's and less stealth games

[pure garnet]

unlike that psu

[merry stirrup]

A- i think just had a loud fan

[pure garnet]

i went to montech's site and my cx is older than their company

kinda funny

[hoary hatch]

What'd I miss

[pure garnet]

is it louder than my supeflower with eco mode off

because the superflower had a monster fan

[random flame]

A surprising GC fact related to load times coming close or exceeding today's ssd loading speed times apparently.

[south shuttle]

i swap psu fans

tralala

[pure garnet]

yeah lemme spend $20 on a nice fan to avoid spending $20 on a psu with a better fan

[south shuttle]

p12 is $5

dc version even cheaper

[pure garnet]

so you put a noisemaker in

some of us do not have jackhammers running for ambient noise

[south shuttle]

it’s whisper quiet fan compared to budget A tier fans expect maybe like 12m where it’s comparable

[south shuttle]

also since when p12 is a noisemaker

[pure garnet]

they're even known for rattling

[south shuttle]

you mean audible resonance

not rattling

[topaz veldt]

I have 3 or 4 clicking P12s/14s

[south shuttle]

p12 maxes also tick don’t rattle

[south shuttle]

ye maxes, maybe pro’s? do that

[rapid pewter]

kyoko spotted

[pure garnet]

sorry i do not have the exact failure conditions of crappy fans memorized

[south shuttle]

p12 whine isn’t as audible in a metal enclosure

other fans ramp up in like gpu before the p12 becomes audible

[pure garnet]

the only purpose my p12 pros serve is to run at 100% rpm to suck in cold air and they'll probably die in like 6 months

[south shuttle]

contrary to stock psu fans they actually rattle like hong huas

60% chance for imbalance is really poor qc for any fan (ha1225h12f-z)

[pure garnet]

are you still crazeing

[rapid pewter]

always

[pure garnet]

did capt buy the corvette yet

[rapid pewter]

he disappeared

[pure garnet]

ah

[rapid pewter]

pulled a jules on us

[south shuttle]

probably…

[pure garnet]

might be the sanest thing he's done

[south shuttle]

you mean what you think

they very likely won’t die

what exactly would die in them?

[hoary hatch]

@steel stream it is done

[indigo walrus]

https://tenor.com/view/minions-gif-9675548253580350587

[hoary hatch]

I love buying games twice

[south shuttle]

@pure garnet arctic offrers 6 year warranty on fans

it used to be 10 years but tbh still good enough

[indigo walrus]

Same! /s I really would love a way to link accounts (example: PSN and Steam) so that I could buy a discounted copy of games I already own a license for on other platforms. I understand there's a cost to port games from console to PC, but ... that cost is not even half the cost to initially develop the game in the first place.

[hoary hatch]

would be nice, but I do love horizon so I am okay spending more money on it

[south shuttle]

i free gamer

[hoary hatch]

I also bought detroit become human for PS4 but never played it lol

[south shuttle]

if i want i’ll donate to the creators

[fervent chasm]

I dont like buying games

[hoary hatch]

to be clear, steam is all about convenience

[indigo walrus]

Oh nice, you must've got this game DRM-free from GoG, right?

[hoary hatch]

that is why it is so dominate

[hoary hatch]

no they're filthy pirates

[pure garnet]

is hzd good

[fervent chasm]

https://tenor.com/view/wow-fascinating-interesting-fake-sure-gif-4110253572494542171

[pure garnet]

i never played it bc my 2060 ran it bad

[hoary hatch]

https://tenor.com/view/pirates-of-the-caribbean-at-worlds-end-gif-19550376

this is what we do to pirates

[indigo walrus]

Oh so you pirated it? Good to know - I'll remember this in case you ask for help with this game in the future. 😄

[fervent chasm]

KiRaShi, how do I kill Mussolini???

[indigo walrus]

Already been done. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benito_Mussolini

[hoary hatch]

my cpu needs more e cores

[south shuttle]

mention greece

[fervent chasm]

just wait for LP cores

[hoary hatch]

steam is grinding my pc to a halt

[pure garnet]

so you just straight up need a 5090 for pathtracing huh

[fervent chasm]

52 core NOVA LAKE consumer CPU

LETS GO

[hoary hatch]

can't pirate 52 cores bro

[shell void]

yeah pretty much

[fervent chasm]

pirate more ram

[steel stream]

shit

[hoary hatch]

HFW time

[indigo walrus]

You wouldn't download more CPU cores... looks at economy "to hell I wouldn't!"

[hoary hatch]

is it weird I want to try the avatar game after watching avatar 3

[fervent chasm]

Im sorry for those who want the price of RAM to drop, but I want it to increase

[hoary hatch]

also the 3D spinning fire sims are sick

[pure garnet]

so why would i not buy the bundle here

[fervent chasm]

if it increases enough I will sell my 4x48gb dimms

and if NWR fixes my 2x64 kit that would be sick

[steel stream]

dlss perf and 2x fg go brrr

[hoary hatch]

why do people own so much ram

[fervent chasm]

I prefer 2x64 128GB over 4x48 192GB

[indigo walrus]

Wait, so if we're all installing it... are we doing a simultaneous play through in voice chat? 🤔

[fervent chasm]

cuz I got it for cheap, I got all 4 for $250 total before taxes

nyah nyah nyah

[hoary hatch]

after seeing reddit go berzerk over the ram crisis, I am convinced the average PC gamer things they need 128gb

[fervent chasm]

ofc they do lol (think it)

[turbid locust]

For cyberpunk yeah. My 5070Ti handled Indiana Jones with Path Tracing and frame gen.

[steel stream]

any% speedrun

[hoary hatch]

and then people are panic buying that for some reason

[pure garnet]

that was dlss perf and fg iirc

[indigo walrus]

Pretty sure it doesn't matter which you buy anymore... I don't think you can technically buy the "Complete Edition" on its own anymore. Not on Steam, at least.

[fervent chasm]

Im so glad I bought this early last year

[hoary hatch]

like omg, just get 32-48gb and actually use your pc

[fervent chasm]

I literally have a 4x return

[south shuttle]

it’s so nice so many psu makers use xh2.54 connector

[fervent chasm]

more actually

[pure garnet]

if i buy just the remaster i don't get the old one, if i buy the bundle for the same price i get both

so why would i not just buy the bundle?

[steel stream]

nah no way

[hoary hatch]

@steel stream i peaked at 1.6Gbps download :(

[south shuttle]

i bought a bunch of the adapters and every second good (mostly cwt) psu uses it

[fervent chasm]

I got the 13900kf + 32gb ddr5 + 1tb ssd + 4090 full build for $2.5k AFTER taxes and all that then that RAM for $250. I think rn a used 4090 sells for $2.2k

[pure garnet]

might've been balanced

[steel stream]

my peak was 743

[pure garnet]

i'll reopen the game in a sec

[hoary hatch]

thats a lot of gigabits

[pure garnet]

buying horizon first

[steel stream]

perf should be higher

[steel stream]

.743

[hoary hatch]

oh

[turbid locust]

I should actually properly play through cyberpunk and not just use it as a benchmark lol

[pure garnet]

i've only used it as a benchmark ngl

[hoary hatch]

I am buying HZDR for the benchmark of course

[steel stream]

I've got a 1gig cap

[steel stream]

no it's ok buy Horizon instead

[hoary hatch]

we hit 1.7 boys

[hoary hatch]

blizzard will do like 2100Mbps tho

[indigo walrus]

just "ok" to buy? I heard the Dutch government made it law!

[turbid locust]

There’s just like no games that interest me rn. I already have a backlog of games I never played.

[hoary hatch]

bytes yuck

[turbid locust]

That’s like 650mbps

[pure garnet]

@steel stream

[turbid locust]

I think?

[pure garnet]

it was worse in game but this is the benchmark

[turbid locust]

I lied that’s like 350 lol

[hoary hatch]

oh im gonna have to wait a year for the new movie expansion to go on sale huh

[steel stream]

I just run FG and it's fine enough

[steel stream]

for singleplayer

[pure garnet]

i have gig but im doing other stuff so close enough

[pure garnet]

im gonna beat u

[hoary hatch]

i already finished

[steel stream]

I'm downloading HFW not ZD

[pure garnet]

i had the og in my family library but i looked up the remaster comparsion and

[hoary hatch]

y'all are slow

[pure garnet]

it was pretty bad in comparison

[steel stream]

me no spell to good

[pure garnet]

i have that in my library at least

[hoary hatch]

ugh why does it default to dynamic res scaling for fixed framerate

[pure garnet]

yeah the 2060 was struggling man

[steel stream]

I've played HFW + DLC on PS5

[pure garnet]

that's like 2 bench passes max

[steel stream]

the true console experience

[steel stream]

oh it has a bench mark? score

[low sorrel]

yummy yummy loot

[hoary hatch]

oh i forgot
the true console experience

[pure garnet]

the og did

no clue if remaster does or doesn't yet

[steel stream]

played on 55" OLED from like 12' away it looked great

[steel stream]

ZD remaster does

[pure garnet]

my 2060 was not built for 1440p aaa gaming

that card was the ffxiv only

[indigo walrus]

Same. Tis why I finally upgraded to a 5060 Ti 16GB. Games run so much better at 1440p60 now.

[pure garnet]

i went 2060 -> 6700 xt -> 3080 (died) -> 4070 -> 5070ti

[steel stream]

4070 -> 5070 Ti

[pure garnet]

my sister still has the 2060

she uses it to play the sims and marvel rivals at 720p

[turbid locust]

1650 Super -> 6700XT -> 7900XTX -> 5070Ti -> 5090

[arctic bronze]

-> gt 210

☺️

[steel stream]

poor soul using FSR

[pure garnet]

hzd has full dualsense support

so now my dualsense edge will be cool

[steel stream]

you bought one? damn

[turbid locust]

I got the 1650 Super system in 2022. This escalated quickly lmao.

[pure garnet]

i love the ps joystick layout

it's my controller of choice, whenever it doesn't work i use a vader 4 pro

[edgy laurel]

oh, this game

Voodoo3 2000 > console gamer era > 8800GT > HD 5850 > 2x HD 6970's > GTX 970 > GTX 1070 > RTX 2080S > RTX 3090 > RTX 4090

[steel stream]

I too love my PS5 controllers but Edge is just $$$

[steel stream]

You need 50 series man

[edgy laurel]

old news

[turbid locust]

I respect guilty for not folding and getting a 5090 ngl

Personally if I were in his position I wouldn’t have either

[steel stream]

https://tenor.com/view/skeptical-futurama-fry-hmmm-i-got-my-eyes-on-you-gif-17101711

[pure garnet]

i mean if i had a 4090 and not a 4070 i'd be chilling

[steel stream]

mac is guiltys alt confirmed

[pure garnet]

and i only bought the 5070ti bc michael gave me a price i would be dumb to not buy it at

[edgy laurel]

things got notable worse moving to 4K with 3090. gaming was not as fun. 4090 solved a problem.

5090 would not solve a problem

[steel stream]

I just wanted to play RDR2 at 4K with an FPS greater than 60

50 FPS dips are not cool

[pure garnet]

4k wasn't even a twinkle in my eyes when i got the card

now i know what i was missing out on though

[turbid locust]

You’ve not seen Guilty and I argue with each other I guess

[pure garnet]

my monitor is like easily #1 pc upgrade this year

[edgy laurel]

i actually hate Mac

[steel stream]

I've never seen you and Guilty in the same room so

[turbid locust]

💯

[steel stream]

checkmate

[pure garnet]

guilty gonna accidently show off his collection of 5 terribly binned am5 cpus

[turbid locust]

I mean im canonically 45

[pure garnet]

and it's gonna be over for him

[shell void]

mac sounds like he would be sparky's father

[steel stream]

chunc

[turbid locust]

LMAO?

[hoary hatch]

i forgot HZD starts with a movie before the menu

[edgy laurel]

he sounds like my grandfather

[edgy laurel]

i just did this last night. i hate games that do this and don't put you at the menu

[steel stream]

you have to look at the 8 different companies each time you load the game up

[turbid locust]

The 9800X3D goes back to the blue computer store tomorrow and then we wait for CES

[steel stream]

Display Tech Promised Land 🙏

[pure garnet]

is 9600x gone too

the am5 platform does not fw brother mac

[turbid locust]

I think I’m gonna keep it

[pure garnet]

i was gonna buy an 8500g but my car decided it wanted new tires

so i gotta buy those first

[steel stream]

what CPUs do you own now Mac

I can't keep track

[turbid locust]

I used my Amazon cashback and rest of a gift card to buy the 9600x so I got it quite cheap

[turbid locust]

enough.

[pure garnet]

was driving to work and at 20mph it decided i was going to hit a drift on the on ramp

dry road btw

[steel stream]

please send a pic of your tires that's insane

[pure garnet]

they have tread idk whats wrong with them

compound is old and evil i guess

[turbid locust]

Right now in my possession, a 14900K, 265KF, 9800X3D, 9600x, 8500G, 7700x, and then my ¿7? AM4 CPUs.

[steel stream]

holy shit dude LOL

[hoary hatch]

https://tenor.com/view/why-huh-but-why-gif-13199396

[turbid locust]

Three AM4 boards, Three AM5 boards, one z790 and one z890

[steel stream]

[hoary hatch]

How many of those are in a board and connected to a power supply

[shell void]

[brittle trellis]

Tyres older than some server members that should've been replaced years ago 💀

[shell void]

the way theyre lined up you can basically watch them all evening

[pure garnet]

i wanna say they're 6 years old

[brittle trellis]

Don't become Paul walker, change your tyres when they're old

[turbid locust]

I’ll be home by the time AMD starts we lit

[edgy laurel]

i'll be in the car during Nvidia

[steel stream]

I should be back by the time Intel starts

[brittle trellis]

Why you guessing, wtf. Go read the date code

[turbid locust]

I’ll be at work for Nvidia and Intel

[pure garnet]

because it's 10pm and im in my house

[brittle trellis]

It's too easy to get a license istg

[pure garnet]

im not walking outside in the dark to read a date off my tire

i'll look in the morning

[brittle trellis]

this is something you should know already 💀

[ripe flicker]

is 3060ti okay for 1440p gaming?

[shell void]

ya

[pure garnet]

you memorize the date of your tires?

[steel stream]

I am at "work" for Nvidia but eh

I am not interested in super referesh or whatever they will do

[brittle trellis]

memorize the exact week? No. Know what year they're from? Yes.

[turbid locust]

yeah I mean I can literally just pull it up on the work desktop lol

[brittle trellis]

they're safety items that stop being effective when they get old

[shell void]

nvidia's will probably be the most boring for consumers

[brittle trellis]

You should know when that is

[ripe flicker]

r u replying to me?

[shell void]

ya

[steel stream]

just gonna be PTL for Intel and 9850X3D + instinct for Amd I bet

[shell void]

sounds about right

for consumer stuff anyway

there should also be 12P Bartlett Lake, Xeon 6 HEDT, and Arc Pro B70

[ripe flicker]

im planning on getting the Xioami G27QI it's 1440p 180hz 1ms, im upgrading from a 1050p 60hz monitor

[pure garnet]

9850x3d for $1299

[steel stream]

Dual Arc Pro B70 🙏 (mega cope)

[shell void]

i dont think it's cope, i expect that to be there tomorrow

[steel stream]

I am getting my names confused

[indigo walrus]

Old tyres? Never! Tyre companies don't want you to know this one weird trick!

does anyone think this is a good monitor? the panel is ips btw

[pure garnet]

i've memorized a lot of weird things but i haven't had a quiz on my tires yet

[fervent chasm]

the ones where they carve it out is worse

[shell void]

theyll want to show off a quad Arc Pro B70 Dual + Xeon 6 HEDT workstation for muh machine learning bros

256GB of vram

[pure garnet]

i'll just do a burnout and get some new tread down

problem solved

[steel stream]

take away my license too then

[pure garnet]

here does anyone else besides ethan have the date code for their tires memorized

[shell void]

i know that i bought tires last year but i dont remember what month it was

[brittle trellis]

how do you own a vehicle and not remember when you bought tyres 💀

[pure garnet]

because i didnt buy tires

[steel stream]

I've got the year, day, exact second, and the name of the guy who hand crafted my tires

[fervent chasm]

if you didnt buy the tires

[pure garnet]

buy car
mfw it has tires

so now that it's about time to replace em i'll know i got them in 2026

[brittle trellis]

buying a car without thoroughly inspecting it

[pure garnet]

i don't live in a state where i run summer/winter tires

[indigo walrus]

Nope, but I know exactly when I purchased and had them installed... If it's not in my calendar, it didn't happen.

[fervent chasm]

I got my car for $3 idc about the tire date

[turbid locust]

Rumors are suggesting $500

[fervent chasm]

it also has 3 of the 4 treads being for different seasons IIRC lol

[pure garnet]

i should've argued with the dealer about tires at age 16

[pure garnet]

you better know what tree the rubber came from bro

[turbid locust]

I think my tires are like 2023 iirc

idk I bought the car in April and the tires looked almost new so lmao

[steel stream]

you're getting your license revoked, you should know exactly when

[pure garnet]

yeah i mean when i got the car the tries were pretty new and now they’re old so i swap them, not that crazy

[brittle trellis]

I forgot how stupid the public chats are again, retreating back to FP

[pure garnet]

do you collect fire alarms

that's the vibe im being given

[turbid locust]

update: went to the garage and checked. 37th Week of ‘22.

[shell void]

kyoko do you see the person on Tiktok that has like 100 weather and miscellanious emergency alarms in a room

where they record when theyre all going off at the same time

[steel stream]

my car is outside I am not going there to check

[pure garnet]

yeah did you see him set it off for nye

[turbid locust]

Meaning they’re probably the same ones it came with given the car is a ‘23 lol

[shell void]

yeah xd

[pure garnet]

that's the vibe im getting for this convo

[turbid locust]

https://tenor.com/view/forest-gump-wave-hi-hello-howdy-gif-17500258755908763204

[steel stream]

I know the date of my tires because getting my tires replaced is like Christmas for me

no better celebration than tire replacement day

[pure garnet]

i am a terrible driver by maintaining my vehicle but not memorizing the date code of a tire with like 75% tread left on it

i've put like 20k miles on the car in 6 years

[turbid locust]

I’m borderline psychotic when it comes to fluid changes on time

[pure garnet]

yeah i usually do the fluids early

if they're coming up in like 500-1000mi just do it now

i do oil every 3k i think

[turbid locust]

bit unnecessary

[pure garnet]

it's usually bc of age not mileage

my work commute is super short

[turbid locust]

My cars manual says 10k I do em at like 7.5k

or 5k I can’t remember

I bought the car with 7.2k miles and did it at 10k so idk lol

Coming up on 13k iirc

[south shuttle]

i’m sorry if i sounded rude in these three rows but i genuinely wanna know

[pure garnet]

for oil?

[turbid locust]

ya

[pure garnet]

oh it’s being used with moisture and stuff it’s not the fault of the fan for that

[turbid locust]

it sounds like your car uses conventional oil or something

[pure garnet]

no it’s full synthetic

[south shuttle]

olive oil

[pure garnet]

it just gets really dark when we left it for a normal interval

[turbid locust]

full synthetic every 3k is wasting money

[south shuttle]

ah

[pure garnet]

it’s like 3-5k

[turbid locust]

…it’s oil lmao

I did semi-synthetic in my old car every 5-7.5k and that fucker was at 282K when I sold it

so like I think it’s ok.

[pure garnet]

it's probs fine

but after like 2 solid black oil changes we cut the interval back, not my idea

[shell void]

typo? or is there going to be an 88" LG C6 now?

[turbid locust]

fair I guess

[pure garnet]

i won’t lie and say i didn’t drive it dumber back then too but

[turbid locust]

My work commute is 6 miles one way, but I’ve put almost 5K miles on my car between that and trips to see the folks since April

[pure garnet]

i’m like 3 mi to work

[turbid locust]

I drive somewhat aggressively

[pure garnet]

so i run it up a town over once a week to let it run

[turbid locust]

You kinda have to in the city or you don’t get anywhere lmao

[pure garnet]

for a slightly tech related convo hzd looks good

[shell void]

oh vincent has a video out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mun8ieYgmz4

[edgy laurel]

i barely got out of the aloy as a kid stage and i'm already at 15+ shots. going to take me ages.

[pure garnet]

no hdr bc im on an lcd but looks neat

[edgy laurel]

remaster, right?

[pure garnet]

yeah

[edgy laurel]

they art style is very colorful

[pure garnet]

i got stuck in the tunnel for awhile bc of the tire inspector

but now im playing the game

[south shuttle]

should i make a list which psu uses what connector

so people can swap them if they really find their psu fan bothersome (and they know what they doin)

it’s mostly xh2.54 and ph2.0

as of good budget psu platforms

[turbid locust]

Anything of note?

[shell void]

they gave the 77" and 83" LG C6 the new tandem w-oled panel, but not any of the smaller sizes

[turbid locust]

Yeah I’ve gone through that part lol

[fervent chasm]

ouch

what I thought would be a CPP majority project became JS

[livid lantern]

what did you even make

[merry stirrup]

seeing the tiktok computer make me laugh

[fervent chasm]

Remote Desktop but instead of the client needing to install something, it’s directly in the browser

Can easily do 1440p 144fps streaming and gaming in general

Think of Chrome Remote Desktop but with the low latency, high resolution, and high fps of Sunshine and Moonlight

Once I’m done, I believe I can get this working completely without opening any ports on the host at all

[balmy panther]

wouldnt you need something like wakeonlan to do that. idk of any other features that could remotely turn on a pc bc lets face it were not gonna leave a pc running for days or weeks on end

[fervent chasm]

Just restart the computer every now and then

If you care about the idle electricity use then idk

Theres probably some work around

[balmy panther]

yeah i mean you could but all thats gonna do is reset the runtime and the memory. and well there is a technical work around. without wakeonlan

[fervent chasm]

It’s an issue for another day lol

I didn’t even think about that, it’s really a non issue for now

[balmy panther]

https://a.co/d/edrMkGR

yeah for now its not really an issue

i still think this is the funniest solution tho

[fervent chasm]

I’d rather just use a PiKVM or something

[balmy panther]

yeah thats a work around too

[merry stirrup]

gross

too much money for ultimately a worse solution than off the shelf IP KVM's

[balmy panther]

say screw it and just use anydesk 😂

[fervent chasm]

If I already have the Pi it’s not

[wind magnet]

Guys would there be any big difference between pcie 3 and pcie 4 on the 9060xt 16gb

[brisk jolt]

no

[turbid locust]

there’s not a big difference between those on a 4090

[pure garnet]

does arc care or just rebar

[proud summit]

Welp finally ordered this thing

Hope it complements AMD's innovative thermal paste retention design.

[brisk jolt]

that thing is useless for am5

only thing it achieves is stopping paste from going into the crevices

[turbid locust]

which is what they said

although it is not an issue if you just don’t dump 7 gallons of thermal paste on your cpu

[proud summit]

But

I thought that's precisely why it's useful?

As a cover to complement AMD's innovative thermal paste retention design.

[turbid locust]

Again, if you just put an appropriate amount of paste on the cpu it is not an issue lol

[proud summit]

Noctua's plastic shield was to expensive after shipping so got this one off AliExpress instead.

[proud summit]

But what if I wanna keep putting more. 😛

[turbid locust]

just wasting paste but

[gritty karma]

At least it's not Liquid Metal

[turbid locust]

nobody should be using LM on an IHS anyway

[gritty karma]

Or just, anywhere

Especially not in laptops

[turbid locust]

it has it’s purpose

[gritty karma]

I will still be really salty about Asus's poor Liquid Metal application in my G16

[proud summit]

Meanwhile that one overclocking enthusiast who never actually overclocked anything: UM ACKHUALLY 🤓 ☝️

[turbid locust]

what?

[proud summit]

Never mind, the joke likely won't land with anyone.
I'm too tired to come up with a good one.

[proud summit]

I was going to say, meanwhile companies putting liquid metal in their enthusiast-class laptops, GPUs, phones, etc.

To seduce the 3 people that really didn't know any better and fell for the marketing.

[turbid locust]

I mean, LM isn’t just “marketing”

It does perform better. Lol.

[gritty karma]

It's bad LMAO, this is from factory btw

[turbid locust]

I mean yeah LM isn’t going to look like paste when it’s disassembled.

[gritty karma]

That's not the issue man

[proud summit]

Hey look, they were generous with their amount, more paste per dollar.
How often do you see more than you hoped for in this shinkflation

[turbid locust]

and that foam barrier around the silicon did exactly what it was supposed to

[proud summit]

It's like getting a McDonalds burger, but it actually is bigger than in their advertisements.
XD

[gritty karma]

The issue is the cpu was throttling way harder than it was supposed to

So I had to re-apply the Liquid Metal and now it turbos higher than before and throttles less often in games

[turbid locust]

PTM7950 is the way on laptops anyway

[low sorrel]

Bro mac my friend just called me Tejo because I have white hair

[turbid locust]

tf

[low sorrel]

What

[gritty karma]

They were very generous with it, but they forgot to rub it in a bit

[proud summit]

They gotta panda massage it

[gritty karma]

It used to hit like 96-98C in BF6 but now it doesn't go above 86C in BF6

[low sorrel]

Also mac should I get highlights to mask my gray hair?

[turbid locust]

why do you have grey hair at 17

[low sorrel]

I've had gray hair at 5

It's just getting more noticeable

I'm not really familiar with all the Discord rules and regulations as I'm somewhat new to it all. But I did Google it and looked for my answers and still didn't quite understand. So I came to Discord looking for some help. Your comment about cross posting is condescending, especially to someone who clearly doesn't know what they are doing - it just makes you seem like one of those meme Discord mods. But hey, at least I should say "thank you" for telling me a bit about how Discord works, even if you could have said it better.

I borrowed my brothers USB

[low sorrel]

He had passport photos

So I copied it

But I installed Windows on the wrong drive...

Fuck me fuck me fuck me fuck me fuck me fuck me

Data recovery time

[indigo walrus]

Well, this is why your brother has copies of important files they cannot easily recreate backed up, right? ... Riiiight? 👀

[low sorrel]

No

[indigo walrus]

Time to break out TestDisk's PhotoRec.

[novel flax]

Does he have a physical passport?

[low sorrel]

Exactly what I'm doing right now

Ok lesson learned

When copying files on stuff that you're about to wipe

Copy it on a different device

[indigo walrus]

Well, sure, that, and tell your brother to back stuff up regularly. Even if you didn't borrow the flash drive, storage media can and will randomly fail.

[low sorrel]

Do you think the drive that I installed Windows on is the better target or the USB

[indigo walrus]

I'd try the USB first, only because it's likely smaller in capacity and thus will scan faster maybe?

[brisk jolt]

great thing ive secured a 5070ti for when I sell the 5090

I need a good backup gpu STAT. My next best gpu behind my 5090 is a GTX 1080

Maybe shouldve kept that 5070Ti after all

naw floppa needed the hookup

im probably late but whatever https://videocardz.com/newz/msi-rtx-5090-lightning-gpu-has-been-leaked-dual-12v-2x6-power-massive-40-power-phase-design

[turbid locust]

I want a founders card man. I wish I could find someone willing to trade a founders 5090 for my TUF.

[low sorrel]

@indigo walrus that's a good sign

[brisk jolt]

I tried asking 3 FFs and they all refused to help me with a FE

and its not that its a 5090, its just them unwilling to do nvidia in general

[turbid locust]

A 2 slot 5090 would go perfect in my A3 man

[brisk jolt]

not small enough

could just slap a ventus on there but then again the ventus’s fucking shit

[turbid locust]

My TUF will fit

just not comfortably lol

[brisk jolt]

i’ve heard deshrouding the ventus is better than stock

[indigo walrus]

Doesn't look like a good sign... Assuming the original photos were JPG format.

[brisk jolt]

If I could get a FF to get me a 5090, UK would be $3600 SGD whilst US would be $2800 SGD lmao

Shit.

[south shuttle]

i just want my three 6+2pins back

have fun with ur like rated 450w

[south shuttle]

yes, rated exactly

6+2pins have higher margin of safety

like a lot higher

[brisk jolt]

arent you the guy that like argued with 5nail the other day about scalping

[south shuttle]

yes

[brisk jolt]

yeah im not gonna cable manage 3 cables into a SFF thanks

[south shuttle]

you will have to, as there are barely any psus with two 12vhighmeltagelowtoleranceconnector

[brisk jolt]

What?

[south shuttle]

most psus have only one 12v-6x2

you will have to use that clunky adapter anyways

[brisk jolt]

you tell me what SFF viable card has 2 12vhpwr in the first place

[burnt socket]

double the firework

[south shuttle]

i was replying to that dual 12v-6x2 card post

you can push way more juice into three 6+2 than single 12v-6x2

[brisk jolt]

anyone with a dual 12vhpwr card can source a suitable PSU for it

[south shuttle]

which is expensive and the connector was designed to be cheap

on paper

[brisk jolt]

yeah i wonder what moron has a dual 12vhpwr card with a fuckass psu

it may or may not be you

[south shuttle]

even some highest end models from psu manufacturers have still only one 12v-6x2

two is a rarity

[oak vector]

[brisk jolt]

the 1300w edge unit has both a native 12vhpwr and the dual 8 pin one

[brisk jolt]

oh no i definitely need a new psu with native for my fuckass 5070

the adapters totally didnt explode at a measly 250w card

[livid flame]

Doesn’t the 5060 8gb use 12x6?

[brisk jolt]

sorry? idgwym

[livid flame]

Sorry 12v 2x6

Oh wait it uses an 8pin in PCIe. Fair.

You said about proper SFF and I just remembered that’s the most modern proper SFF card you can buy but apparently uses 8pin

[brisk jolt]

5070 colourful mini is the highest

[livid flame]

Jesus that is small

That’s a beautiful looking card

[brisk jolt]

or if we’re still at around the 10L range its like 2.5 slot cards including prime, zotac sff, gigabyte eagle

then we have the founders at 2 slots

[livid flame]

Doesn’t fit in a velka3 though

So 5060 still smallest

[brisk jolt]

9.95L T1 can fit a 4090FE

im between velka3 or midori v2.4 for 2027 build

but most likely midori since im not interested in a 60 class card

[livid flame]

You mean.. you recommended capitalism to the most capitalist country!?!

[south shuttle]

the recommendation wasn’t wrong in all directions, but i overly generalized based off that example why is scalping okay

[brisk jolt]

knock knock this is the united states of america- USB

[south shuttle]

yes, if you want to read the uhh can’t say convo

it was more like mockery

i’m pretty sure the personal attacks did more harm than me suggesting scalping

like uhh some of them tried to justify their argumentance or make their points stronger by making up stuff i didn’t say, in the better case they misunderstood but i have my doubts about that, welp, it is what it is

[livid flame]

People are allowed to be upset by others buying and then selling on. However that is literally how commerce works. We might not like it, but that’s the world we live in. When someone pays the value, albeit inflated, that it’s currently worth.

[south shuttle]

i mean they had fair points like, everyone doing capitalism doesn’t mean you should too but, the thing is reselling doesn’t necessarily bring wellbeing down to those around you, in many cases you can buy a ram for cheap, resell it to a market where it’s overpriced for less overpriced tag but have the customer and yourself happy, if the buyer actknowledges they’re overpaying + they’re happy i don’t see an issue

[livid flame]

They’re not really entitled to insult you for clearly pointing out - it is what it is. Your friend can’t build a pc because ddr5 went from £100 to £300? It’s not fair, it’s rough shit. Don’t hate the seller, hate the supplier. Profit is there to be won by all.

[south shuttle]

also i said i’m fine with scalping everything but essentials like food, housing, healthcare, etc. oh… no that’s when the rage really begun

i’m not a scalper myself

they were like why i’m defending scalping

[livid flame]

Scalping on food? There’s always discrepancies

I’m in the UK. We sell a 500g cucumber for 0.90p to £1

[south shuttle]

scalper!!

[livid flame]

In Europe? €2-€3. £2 to £2.50. Exact same stock.

[south shuttle]

i also should’ve used soft words for scalping i doubt there would be so much rage if i didn’t use oxford’s definition of scalping

[livid flame]

100%+ increase on sale and cost to the supplier

[south shuttle]

which is scalping is buying with the intend to sell at quick or huge profit

every business wants to quick profit

[livid flame]

Yeah that’s just opportunistic profiteering

Businesses have and always will operate this way. Some exist for this reason and have done for decades.

I mean that’s the bloody stock market in a nutshell

[south shuttle]

it has it’s positives and negatives

though some of their reactions were as if i said something extremist

[south shuttle]

which many people confuse or correlate with deception, because it tends to sway in that direction

but it’s not like other means don’t sway as well

in a perfect world capitalism would be obsolete, i wouldn’t be recommending cheapest value parts to people, someone would just send it to your house for free bc you need it, but well, inrl it doesn’t work like that

also when i recommend cheapest parts to someone, someone else may not get that deal, it’s a bit like double edge sword

similarly when i suggest someone to buy ram and resell it, it benefits the person i’m talking to, may not benefit the person that’s looking to buy the ram for lowest as possible

[livid flame]

Deception is those fuckers thinking their 1060 6gb is worth £300 because of ram shortages

[south shuttle]

nooop, it’s that guy who sells a “gtx 980” and shows up with a gtx 670 and asks you if you’re willing to buy after telling him that it’s not the card he listed

[livid flame]

“High end gaming PC for 2026”… 7700k and 1660 with 8gb ram 💀

[south shuttle]

gt 1030

mid range is gt 710

[livid flame]

Runs Fortnite, Roblox, Warzone 100fps

Sometimes I see them also include gta 5

No one misunderstood

In a PC enthusiast community kvetinky suggested that someone buy memory they found at a low price and prey on others, like us, by selling it higher

There is no ambiguity or misunderstanding

He then related it to buying and selling stocks and claimed we're the ones misunderstanding

Believe it or not, when you find something posted cheaper than market value, in any community setting (cars, PCs, firearms, etc.) and then someone proposes the person buy it to resell it higher... it's shitty behavior and frowned upon. In fact, HWS would ban you.

hardwareswap

no, discord

and reddit

but the same thing would happen on almost any community

Go on a BMW community and post you found a person willing to sell an M3 $10,000 under market and then smoeone say "buy it and sell it to someone else to make some money" and see how that goes

Its not "capitalism" when you're preying on mislistings/CLEARLY undervalued merchandise with the intent to sell it to hobbyists at a higher price

Same, especially if I value my time put in to something, etc.

Its why you use specific outlets

HWS is fantastic for selling to people who actually intend to see a sale through and use hardware

ebay takes psycho % on PC stuff

they ban them/etc. immediately but I sell a lot there have never had an issue, all paypal protected

[craggy mist]

What

[topaz veldt]

micro center takes trades/buys

they do not give good prices generally

[craggy mist]

Yeahh

I could’ve boiught that!

[topaz veldt]

@low sorrel

totally - on large shit its worth it

Yes, though on HWS people have ratings

So when selling a $2000+ GPU, I will check their ratings, etc.

Yah that works

Just don't propose buying memory for $100 to sell it for $300

🙂 It won't go over well

prebuilts won't save you any though

A lot of those are going up as well

[rancid snow]

Hello, could someone advise me a "budget" am5 motherboard, with a good vrm, so that in a few years I could put in a new cpu without any problems? (Just bios update)

[livid flame]

Depends on terms of sale in any given country.

[devout ridge]

any board

am5 doesn’t use that much power for vrms to matter

[rancid snow]

So I should just care about the features I want, no need to look at vrm or vrm cooling?

[devout ridge]

pretty much

as long as there is something for VRM cooling, you're fine

[rancid snow]

Okay, thanks

Thanks, well I should have said what I meant by budget, I am planning to use the r5 7500f, so a budget build, so maybe max 120€ for the board , with still an option to upgrade the cpu later on

https://videocardz.com/newz/samsung-pitches-its-new-oled-s95h-48-inch-display-for-desktop-gaming Stop putting matte finishes on everything you Scamsung bastards

[brisk jolt]

matte? auto doa

[fickle narwhal]

Do people hate matte or what?

[devout ridge]

A lot of people are not a fan of matte finishes

[fickle narwhal]

They aren’t that bad but they aren’t that great I don’t really care but I definitely don’t hate gloss or matte

[edgy laurel]

When you experience a good glossy finish, matte just feels and looks cheap

[late marsh]

Glossy is bad in bright environments though - reflects the light too much.

[edgy laurel]

the age old complaint

[fickle narwhal]

But it tends to wash the light over the entire screen instead of one bright spot so…

[steel stream]

it's much easier to change your environment then change your panels finish

[late marsh]

Well I have glossy, but I live in modern version of a cave, so I'm not a hater of glossy. Yet matte is not horrible as long as it's OLED

[steel stream]

Matte is fine in the workplace and what not where you can't do anything about the lights, but at home where I want the best experience possible, glossy is the way to go

[edgy laurel]

meanwhile Apple has got away with glossy finishes on their laptops since at least 2009 and done ok

its a more premium look and feel

[fickle narwhal]

Well that don’t work for me the room that I game in is filled with windows I have no complaints about glare on my Samsung qd-oled but I haven’t tried gloss so I don’t have a opinion on it

[gentle gale]

samsung has a good AR coating solution on their phones and tablets why go matte

[shell void]

rip qd oled

[steel stream]

Yes! Matte on everything!

But I do wonder how bright this 48" S95H will be in comparison to the larger sizes

[brisk jolt]

samsung killed samsung

[gloomy vault]

uh oh

[brisk jolt]

u start work alr ornot

im literally gonna ask for all the slots available next week

im only working for 3 days this week

[brisk jolt]

when

[gloomy vault]

tmr wed thurs

i need the money

licences arent cheap

[brisk jolt]

most of the ppl there are from HQ btw

[edgy laurel]

dynamic MFG is a good idea

I can see that working really well

[gloomy vault]

as long as im getting paid bruh

[edgy laurel]

let it work in conjunction with vsync and caps to just stick you at your max and stay there

[gloomy vault]

incorporation costs arent cheap either

[brisk jolt]

it sounds epic

[brisk jolt]

u come try plq on a saturday then u know

[gloomy vault]

im nvr going there sux 2 be u

[brisk jolt]

during CNY its a money farmer though

[edgy laurel]

2nd gen transformer model 💪

[gloomy vault]

yea cny i might $20 an hour is the bomb

[steel stream]

yeah I think it will be best for 240Hz+, with like a 100Hz base FR

[edgy laurel]

native resolution gaming is on its deathbed

[brisk jolt]

not just their pay btw

over here cny we have alot of customers give angbao

[steel stream]

more excited about that

[gloomy vault]

wtf 2x luck drops

[brisk jolt]

i wanna get a portable oled but it sucks that most 4k ones are 60hz

[gloomy vault]

stop wasting money

[brisk jolt]

one time my friend not happy with like 4 tables in a day then he pass the yusheng to me

all give $10 angbao LOL

[gloomy vault]

💀

[gloomy vault]

save your money trust

i next time apply for work pemit for u in msia real

[brisk jolt]

im not buying 60hz panels

[gloomy vault]

i need someone to be able to oversee the employees

[brisk jolt]

💀

[shell void]

the scripture was true

but where’s muh Reflex 2?

[steel stream]

there is no Reflex 2

[brisk jolt]

buried 6ft under

[shell void]

there is no frame warping in ba sing se

[brisk jolt]

we need frame warping for forge

even then we cannot overcome roblox shitty engine to parry enemies

[shell void]

trying to parry with my cellular internet is fun XD

[brisk jolt]

roblox engine is just buns

network performance 7ms and my parry took like 3 business days to register

[edgy laurel]

roblox, in my very limited personal testing, can't be used as any sort of traditional gaming performance metric

GPU doens't matter half the time, at least with a 4090

[shell void]

yeah you can’t really just say roblox and use that as a test

because it’s a platform with a gazillion different games that all perform differently

DLSS 4.5 is more exciting than a super series

[brisk jolt]

its too late for a super announcement anyway

just set ur eyes on 60 series atp

[shell void]

super series would’ve been announced today if it was gonna happen

[oak vector]

https://tenor.com/view/bunny-flop-rabbit-desk-sleepy-gif-17625335

[brisk jolt]

lets focus on displays this year

[steel stream]

too far away

https://tenor.com/view/i-want-it-now-charley-and-the-chocolate-factory-tantrum-willy-wonka-gif-14590840

[oak vector]

Or part pricing 😔

[brisk jolt]

5090 or sybau smh

[shell void]

i hope upscaling with ray reconstruction looks a bit better

[shell void]

TRUEEE

[steel stream]

damn ok

[steel stream]

yeah it's a bit rough on the lower DLSS presets

[brisk jolt]

why do you want a 50 super anyway

[steel stream]

I don't

I have 70 Ti I am chilling, I want 60 series

Also Michael, Cyberpunk on a G5 is a treat

[brisk jolt]

the future is never too far away

if i get a super it’ll be a 5070S for a sub 5L ITX build

[hoary hatch]

6090 😏

[steel stream]

nice

[brisk jolt]

all of us here should have our sights on a 6090

except for 5nail he’s gonna get like 6 of em

[shell void]

hopefully that TV will keep you happy for years to come

[steel stream]

it probably will

https://videocardz.com/newz/sandisk-retires-wd_black-and-wd-blue-branding-launches-optimus-ssd-tiers-for-2026

[edgy laurel]

interesting. saw this coming

[livid flame]

They’d name it the super expensive series

[steel stream]

ok for some reason, My shift key does not work when my keyboard is plugged into my front panel USB

[livid flame]

Sounds shit though

[brisk jolt]

“We are checking”
…
Must be the front panel USB

[edgy laurel]

don't matter. news could have been "sandisk shuttering consumer SSD business" so lets just be thankful

[steel stream]

whatttttt

[dapper junco]

Let's add that to the word of wisdom

[shell void]

5090SE? i’ll take it

[livid flame]

5090ti SE?

[shell void]

we have lost the plot

[pure garnet]

this is why ram is $800

[harsh sail]

Actually makes a bit of sense. They have more time to improve beyond what they already would done for the aspects other than VRAM, on top of how 60 series was going to have a architectural step above 50 series

[steel stream]

ok this is a little funny

[edgy laurel]

This is how its done. @topaz veldt @wraith steeple @shell void. No (normally visable) cables, no tubes. Shame the GPU isn't done too, however.

we'll just hope those are dummy modules

[wraith steeple]

That's hot

[edgy laurel]

I really, really dig the no cables look

[steel stream]

yeah that's sweet

mixed ram

[pure garnet]

mixed ics too

[edgy laurel]

whats amazing is how well the pump, res and rads are completely hidden

[pure garnet]

hell nah man build ruined

[wraith steeple]

VPP Apex is definitely the better D5 clones out there

[steel stream]

where even is the res

[edgy laurel]

I have to imagine its in the basement

yeah, thats where id expect it to be

[pure garnet]

i mean do you even need much of a res for just a cpu

[edgy laurel]

eh, this thing is about the look

[brisk jolt]

finna be playing “wheres my water?”

[edgy laurel]

and they got it right

[steel stream]

i bet comments are flaming him about the ram

[pure garnet]

build ruined fr

[edgy laurel]

apparently the 2x16kit is "fillers"?

[pure garnet]

more money than sense idk

i don’t think you can disable ram slots

[edgy laurel]

can you even turn off DIMM slots

oh, yeah didn't link this https://www.reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/comments/1q2307x/my_cleanest_watercooled_build_ever_no_tubes_no/

i don't see any confirmation on what they mean by that
