256 2400 was never 118

So that is not happening

[fervent chasm]

I gotta email them and tell them in a poor orphan trying to set up a server or something

[topaz veldt]

32GB 2400 12 months ago were$35/ea

[fervent chasm]

Maybe it’ll slip through

[fervent chasm]

Refurb or new

[topaz veldt]

Refurbished

[vestal granite]

do they still make em new

[fervent chasm]

How does one refurb a dimm anyway

Just clean it?

[vestal granite]

they wipe it down

[topaz veldt]

Test and sell

[vestal granite]

or for some sellers dont test and sell

[fervent chasm]

That order cursed me

I lost the credit card I just used

[vestal granite]

have you checked your pocket

[fervent chasm]

I found an R940 main board for $100, I’m buying that too

[fervent chasm]

No but it’s not there

[vestal granite]

do you have a magnet you can maybe hover a magnet around

[fervent chasm]

lol

Oh

It was on the ground just blended in

[vestal granite]

i also have mastercard tile, the raised numbers accumulate a lot of dust though

[fervent chasm]

It’s discovers student card but gold

And it’s dark in my room

Blends in with the hardwood floor

[lapis bobcat]

general streaming questions (using OBS and on PC) anyone mind helping out please??

[fervent chasm]

Don’t ask to ask just ask

Also it’s a little late for the majority of users in this discord, might want to wait until the Americans are back awake

[low sorrel]

@wise bear should I watch the halo film

[plush smelt]

is ddr5-6000mhz cl30 basically the same speed as ddr5-6400 cl32? or at least won't provide any performance increase at all?

[brisk jolt]

basically same but 6400 on some amd chips wont run

[fervent chasm]

600MHz is pretty slow :P

[plush smelt]

😔

[fervent chasm]

its a 7% increase, probably not noticeable

[green marsh]

can't decide if this Chinese manufacturer is threatening some guy named Wu or they try to sound like a certain Korean manufacturer 😄

[livid flame]

The Wu will be a much shorter sound on that

In German that’s The Wu Technology

https://tenor.com/view/wu-tang-gif-8503321

[devout ridge]

i vote for the former

wu better watch his back

[green marsh]

for context, that is a PCIE 3.0 x2 RTL8127 10Gbe SFP+ network card

[devout ridge]

x2 is such a weird interface to see

[green marsh]

well physically it is x4 card

but only x2 is wired, because chip is x2. As 3.0 x1 doesn't have enough bandwidth for 10Gbe

[valid quail]

hello i need help

[wise bear]

so do most people

but what's wrong, what'd you break

[timber sail]

Quick question I have the ASUS PG329Q would it be worth to upgrade to one of their new Oled gaming monitors?

[oak vector]

yay gta on my pc 😍

[steel stream]

https://videocardz.com/newz/amd-ryzen-9-9950x32d-confirmed-dual-3d-v-cache-cpu-is-coming

[ebon sparrow]

Oled is so worth it but which u get depends what u play and like

[shell void]

can’t wait for 9950X3D2 to launch 6 months before Zen 6

3090Ti to 4090 moment

[steel stream]

and they will still make a bazillion dollars off of it

[shell void]

launch 9950X3D2 6 months before zen 6, and then delay zen 6 x3d by 6 months

milk the cows

have them upgrading every 6 months

[steel stream]

awesome plan

[fervent chasm]

@topaz veldt I just got charged the $118 and a tracking number came up for my location lol

[shell void]

@turbid locust @merry stirrup @pure garnet

https://videocardz.com/newz/alienware-confirms-amd-ryzen-9-9950x3d2-coming-to-area-51-gaming-pcs

[fervent chasm]

im praying it still goes through, shows pending still on their website

[shell void]

cow milking

you must buy the 2% faster 9950X3D2 for $800 just 6 months before zen 6

[topaz veldt]

I am still not convinced the 9950X3D2 even exists

[burnt socket]

can't wait for regular x3d prices to drop

[burnt socket]

this is a joke

[steel stream]

just buy a 9700x and be happy

[arctic bronze]

They should of just called it the 9955x3d

[steel stream]

9950X3D2 Plus Extreme

[burnt socket]

but i want to try x3d

[timber sail]

I play everything tbh

[steel stream]

it's not worth it if you have to wait for the price to go down

[burnt socket]

hence im waiting for the 9950x3d2 pro ultra to release

[brisk jolt]

[edgy laurel]

5850x3D would actually be wild

[shell void]

it would be so extraordinarily based if they ported zen 5 to am4, but it’ll just be another new name etched onto a r5 5600

[steel stream]

yeah give the AM4 people 2 Zen5 cores and call it a day

[devout ridge]

2 zen5c

[shell void]

just two more months until we can be bees

this is good news

[ebon sparrow]

Well then go for a middleground at like 1440p and 27” and for oled type personally get a woled gen 4. Depends on ur taste tho.

[steel stream]

Idk what this means but I am excited

[timber sail]

i allready have the PG329Q

[shell void]

invincible season 4

[steel stream]

ohhhhhh

yeah dude I am so hyped for that

We get the boys final season in april, but I am more excited for Invincible

[devout ridge]

bruh, holy shit:
40$ 360mm AIO
https://www.newegg.com/razer-liquid-cooling-system/p/N82E16835837009

[steel stream]

and it will break in 40 minutes

[frank zealot]

part of me wants to buy 3 and build a radiator box

[topaz veldt]

Hanbo

buy 6 and make water skis

https://videocardz.com/newz/amd-ryzen-9-9950x32d-confirmed-dual-3d-v-cache-cpu-is-coming

[brisk jolt]

might be too generous

[topaz veldt]

I feel like if a product, the 9950X3D2 is in fact real and confirmed but AMD doesn't even bring it up at CES.... even they think its a waste of time lol

[shell void]

gigabyte and asus are experimenting with making tiny central PCB cards like nvidia

good, double flow through is cool beans

[brittle trellis]

Ah yes clearance prices for garbage

[vestal granite]

holy FUCK i just opened my blinds and saw the light of god almighty in all his glory singe my eyeballs

whats this sunny shit i thought it was supposed to be cold and dark in new jersey like all the time like 24/7

[frank zealot]

I am still tempted to buy 3 and build a radiator box out of the parts in it.

40 bucks for a 360mm aluminum rad is still dirt cheap

[steel stream]

I thought it was using NVIDIA FE pcb

[shell void]

same, but supposedly jufes asked, and they replied saying that they’re using their own PCBs

[steel stream]

interesting

[edgy laurel]

its nearly 50 degrees already too

not even 10am

[vestal granite]

yeah i felt heat earlier thats so peculiar

[steel stream]

40 F here

[vestal granite]

how is this january

[steel stream]

we hit 55 on Friday then back down to freezing saturday

[hoary hatch]

It's too cold

[vestal granite]

im honestly just thankful to have weather that isnt 80 fahrenheit

[arctic bronze]

Thats not bad lol

[vestal granite]

but i cant see the cool buildings today because of how bright the sun is

[topaz veldt]

Didn't the article say they are using the FE PCB?

[hoary hatch]

Chance of snow tomorrow 🥶

It's too fucking cold

[vestal granite]

chance of snow at 39 degrees sounds like disgusting gross icey snow

[steel stream]

30 F is awesome

nothing beats deep breaths of cold air

[arctic bronze]

Lol, iv not had a chance for snow this winter

[hoary hatch]

Hateithateithateit

[arctic bronze]

It sucks to ride at that temp tho

[hoary hatch]

I'm from a warm dry place. I'm not engineered for this weather

[arctic bronze]

Same but i prefer the colder weather

[steel stream]

biking?

[arctic bronze]

Technically yes, motorcycles

[steel stream]

oh

Yeah I walk everywhere I can

I only really drive to the grocery store

[arctic bronze]

I gotta drive everywhere since town is 30 min away

[steel stream]

I am a 3 minute walk from campus lol

[arctic bronze]

Lol

[shell void]

that’s what i thought too, but (according to jufes who supposedly asked them) they’re using custom PCBs

[hoary hatch]

Oh student life

Yeah in college I only drove for groceries or in n out

Or work since work was 10 miles away

[green marsh]

HOLY SHIT

I didn't know Thermalright had decided "We're gonna make overpriced coolers, too!"

88 bucks? Not unreasonable.
240? Jesus christ. (Still better than 300-400, but god damn)

[hoary hatch]

If people are buying those large screen coolers, can't blame TR for getting in on that market

[frank zealot]

What was the stupid ROG one? 450? 500?

[pure garnet]

why does the pump have a tablet on it

[steel stream]

angry birds

I miss angry birds

[pure garnet]

i got angry birds classic and it’s pretty fun

[steel stream]

99 cents bah humbug

[storm hatch]

I got a nzxt aio with a screen and now after like a 3 months of having it I relized its kinda dumb lol

[topaz veldt]

but you can like... look at it

https://tenor.com/view/look-at-that-gif-24521849

[steel stream]

But is it HDR1000 Certified

[shell void]

i need a hdr1000 tandem oled screen on my waterblock

[steel stream]

anything less is unacceptable

[pure garnet]

my aio doesn’t even have rgb

[steel stream]

mine is just a white led

which I could have it reflect CPU utilization but I didn't want to install armory crate

[pure garnet]

mine is no led bc i didn’t pay extra for rgb

[steel stream]

smart

I think it's this but I don't wanna bother

[edgy laurel]

you have an asrock board right?

[shell void]

the big rectangle

[edgy laurel]

so its not the boards rgb controller

[steel stream]

yeah

[edgy laurel]

so gotta be the AIO

Aura is Asus

[steel stream]

yeah

[pure garnet]

i quite enjoy my corsair nautilus

[steel stream]

the install instructions told me to use armory crate so no thanks

[pure garnet]

no rgb, easy mounting solution, quiet pump

[steel stream]

it was quite the hassle to get this one mounted tbh

screws felt barely long enough

[pure garnet]

the corsair is just 4 thumbscrews

[steel stream]

yeah this is just 4 thumbscrews too but trying to get it mounted was a pain

[shell void]

i wonder what the little doodads on the sides of the IODs are for

[steel stream]

could just be skill issue anyways

[pure garnet]

it’s way easier on am5 won’t lie

because the intel mount is so wide

[steel stream]

PCIe phys?

[steel stream]

trying to keep the bracket pushed in all the way and get two diagonal thumbscrews in was tough, screws needed to be like 3mm longer

2mm

but first AIO so maybe I was just special

[pure garnet]

is there not like separate posts

on the naut for intel its backplate -> posts -> aio -> thumbscrew cap

same with amd just no backplate bc intergrated

[steel stream]

yeah there was that

I am completely misrembering this install process

I am looking at the manual rn

[pure garnet]

the corsair ones look larger

[steel stream]

yeah idk

5090s going on a generational run

[steel stream]

90 class owners literally just have an infinite GPU glitch

New gen comes, sell the old one, and buy the new one for like $500

[turbid locust]

https://tenor.com/view/baile-el-lobo-de-wall-street-gif-2252952544268868878

[steel stream]

imma steal your 5090 while you are on your worktrip

[topaz veldt]

akn you have a 90?

[steel stream]

nah

I buy a lot of shit, but 90 class card in college is too much for me

[topaz veldt]

cmon man

[steel stream]

I am a fake TC2 regular I know

[turbid locust]

August was the time to buy man

$1999 5090 looks like an amazing deal rn lol

[steel stream]

yeah that was crazy

[topaz veldt]

$2649 Master was the way

[steel stream]

that was sweet that you got one

[steel stream]

$800 Gaming Trio 5070 Ti was the way

[vestal granite]

now that i live in proper city i walk everywhere

[pure garnet]

$600 gaming trio 5070ti was the way

[vestal granite]

u know how many chinese takeout joints are within 1 mile of me? i dont because google maps doesnt render all of them but its easily over 30

[steel stream]

too true

[steel stream]

living the life man

I've got one nearby, then a Jimmy Johns, Dominos and some middle eastern place

[vestal granite]

every kind of food i check on google maps theres a place within half a mile

i have too much decision paralysis

[steel stream]

the place has a name with sushi in it but they only serve one roll there

[pure garnet]

the only thing right near my house is a pizza place (that made me sick everytime i went) and a mcdonald’s

oh and a gas station subway

[steel stream]

must be a Dominos\

[pure garnet]

nah it’s a local chain

[livid flame]

Everyone loves a Chinese

[pure garnet]

only that location does it though

the one further up the road i go to frequently

[vestal granite]

idk where any gas stations are im sure theyre hiding somewhere but plenty of convenience stores

[pure garnet]

$7 for 2 slices and a drink is good

[steel stream]

I've got a liquor store like 5 minutes from me so that's cool I guess

[vestal granite]

i pity you -> i say haha pity to you for this

[steel stream]

missing out on the gas station rhino pill

[livid flame]

Domino’s in the uk got better. Had my first one in 4 years. Didn’t taste of cardboard. Wasn’t the best wasn’t the worst

[vestal granite]

dominos is really dependent on the location

ive had some god awful dominos before and some really good dominos too

[steel stream]

I had it last like 2 years ago and it was not great

[pure garnet]

popping a gas station rhino and 3 melatonin gummies, whoever wins wins

[steel stream]

it was just a hot slice of nothing

[steel stream]

gonna have some crazy dreams

[grizzled lily]

havent tried both, pros and cons?

[livid flame]

Dreams are for the crazy

[livid flame]

Pros. All. Cons. None.

[grizzled lily]

🤭

[steel stream]

highly recommend the gas station rhino pill

[vestal granite]

also so much stuff with lamb here so easily accessible

i go to a random food place and they have lamb options

[steel stream]

I went to a place with Barbacoa lamb recently but I did not feel like paying $40+ dollars when I could pay $20 for dinner at the same place

[vestal granite]

here the lamb is cheap is the thing cause i guess lamb is an easy halal option

[steel stream]

that's nice

I like lamb but there aren't too many options near here

[terse sage]

Tech chat 2, I managed to get my wife to agree to a 5090, and it arrived today. I have an Antec 1000w 80+ titanium PSU - will it be ok? My PC has: 3 Case fans, a 3 fan AIO, 2 NVME drives, and a 5950x CPU, no other major power requirements.

Thought I’d ask you guys before I put it into the machine

[fervent chasm]

Crazy pair lol

[turbid locust]

9800X3D has been officially banished back to bestbuy land

[turbid locust]

As long as it’s a quality unit, it’ll be fine. My RM1000e handles my 5090 and 14900K just fine

[woven adder]

Would Trump taking Greenland affect ram prices?

[terse sage]

Thanks Mac, glad to hear that! Also thanks for the reply. You’re always around, I appreciate it

[turbid locust]

Whether that’s a good or bad thing is do be determined

[woven adder]

But realistically speaking we can't do anything

Btw very democratic response

[steel stream]

9850X3D soon 🙏

[turbid locust]

Yes

[steel stream]

hopefully you don't get a dogshit IMC

just do the bestbuy method again

[fervent chasm]

What’s the best buy method

Returning until you get one with a good IMC?

[steel stream]

yeah just buying one, testing it, and returning it if it's not adequate

[topaz veldt]

OK thats not bad

My kiddo is going to be pumped

Got him the travel cover too

[untold gate]

W

[steel stream]

hell yeah thats nice

[topaz veldt]

yeah dbrand is nice (even if a little douchey)

[steel stream]

looks sturdy enough for a child

sturdy enough for me too

can't see how i would break that

[fervent chasm]

They canceled it @topaz veldt

Grrrrr

Apparently they “had a lot of orders during the holidays”

[steel stream]

what did you order?

[topaz veldt]

yeah dude as someone who sells it, there's no way thats going out the door

That price was wrong PRE price hike

[fervent chasm]

256gb ddr4 ECC for $118

I found another listing for 512gb ddr4 ecc for $430

[steel stream]

yeah that's robbery

[fervent chasm]

It’s slower tho

2133

[topaz veldt]

Right now my 2133p and 2400T DIMMs sell for the same price

[turbid locust]

Even if I do I’m keeping it. It’ll be benched and then dailied

[topaz veldt]

like $115/ea lol

[fervent chasm]

Where?

Er, how much memory per dimm?

[topaz veldt]

32GB 2Rx4

[fervent chasm]

They sell for $115 each???

[topaz veldt]

Yes

[fervent chasm]

That’s wild

[topaz veldt]

That's why I told you there is zero chance of that shipping

[fervent chasm]

What about the 512 one

[fervent chasm]

I wanna build an r940 from scratch

[topaz veldt]

Why would you want an R940

[fervent chasm]

I found the main board for $100

[fervent chasm]

Quad socket

200 threads looks cool

[wise bear]

ahoy 5nail

[fervent chasm]

And it’s ddr4 not 3

[topaz veldt]

You do not want to build a server from scratch

[fervent chasm]

Why

[topaz veldt]

The chassis have like.... 90 different configurations and needs very specific combinations of parts

[fervent chasm]

Oh, not really

[topaz veldt]

Oh, really.

[fervent chasm]

24 vs 8 plane, and quad vs dual socket

[topaz veldt]

Nope

[fervent chasm]

What else

[topaz veldt]

Bud as someone who purchases thousands of servers a year, there's like 40 configurations of an R940 (which you should not buy anyway)

[fervent chasm]

Wdym tho

What kind of configurations

[topaz veldt]

chassis PCIe width, chassis PCIe risers, U.2, U.2 + sas, sas, m.2, boss card riser, backplane w/ nvme, backplane w/o nvme, high air flow, high tdp cooling, etc etc etc etc

And none of it "works together"

GPU enabled vs not

[fervent chasm]

You don’t need the boss, or NVMe stuff

[topaz veldt]

You are not following me

A chassis with the BOSS provisions will have different riser provisions which requires different internal modules

You do not build an R940 from a motherboard up, you buy a CTO server empty

[fervent chasm]

nah only noobs do that

[topaz veldt]

Ok

[topaz veldt]

Here is JUST the chassis config options

here is JUST the riser config

[fervent chasm]

Good thing I won’t be using the chassis

[turbid locust]

5nail stop pretending you do this for a living or something nobody believes you

[topaz veldt]

You have to use the chassis lol

Yeah what do I know

[turbid locust]

2010 era

[fervent chasm]

Alright then pls donate r940 tyvm

[topaz veldt]

No one buys R940s

[fervent chasm]

Why not

[topaz veldt]

Because its a terrible design

[steel stream]

what a phony

[fervent chasm]

but quad socket, 😋

[turbid locust]

fr guy probably pretends to get haircuts too

[topaz veldt]

with disparate memory buses

[steel stream]

ok stop projecting pal

[topaz veldt]

4 sockets is useless when you have 4 independent memory subsystems

[fervent chasm]

I’m not gonna be running 6tb

[turbid locust]

naw

[topaz veldt]

You don't need to run 6TB, but you need to run 512GB+

Should probably research how memory channels works

[fervent chasm]

I don’t think you need that much to run

[steel stream]

ok mr no haircut man

[fervent chasm]

The specs list 8GB dimms and that caps at 384

[topaz veldt]

You do if you want to populate all the channels which is why you'd buy it to begin with

[fervent chasm]

I want it for the sockets not the memory

😋

[topaz veldt]

You don't understand hardware

[turbid locust]

I get haircuts so often dude it’s kinda funny

[random flame]

Hill Macbilly man.

[fervent chasm]

Hardware is my life

[topaz veldt]

Apparently not

[fervent chasm]

Actually it’s more software now

[steel stream]

I think it's about every other month for me

[fervent chasm]

What quad socket server do you recommend then (I don’t wanna hear none)

[topaz veldt]

I would never recommend a quad socket to anyone - I just got done throwing away like 1200 of them

[random flame]

Mine is when my hair gets too long to be manageable... Which about now might be the case.

[turbid locust]

2-3 weeks for me lmao

[fervent chasm]

aw man you can’t donate?

[topaz veldt]

I would only donate something with sensibility

[fervent chasm]

I’ve been trying to get a server for the home but none of the datacenters near me respond

[topaz veldt]

Of course they don't

[fervent chasm]

I ask if they got anything they’re recycling

[steel stream]

I just can't be bothered doing all that lol, too much time at the barber

[topaz veldt]

Datacenters don't deal in servers

[fervent chasm]

What do they deal in

[steel stream]

data

[topaz veldt]

Customers who own servers

[fervent chasm]

So yours doesn’t own the servers?

[topaz veldt]

Its like asking a cement manufacturer if they have any dump trucks

[topaz veldt]

I work for the company who owns and operates its own datacenter

[random flame]

Hmmm...

[random flame]

AWS

[fervent chasm]

Would you happen to have any that are going to the bin and could spare 🫠

[topaz veldt]

Nope

And if I did, you'd have to be a certified recycler as I'd need certificates of destruction

[fervent chasm]

Well I don’t wanna destroy

I wanna use

[topaz veldt]

That's not how this works

[fervent chasm]

Lemme talk to the manager

[topaz veldt]

You're talking to him

[fervent chasm]

Lemme talk to the other one

Sorry I’m running on no sleep rn

I’m mostly joking but I have been trying to see if any place would donate anything

[brisk jolt]

I feel like a month or two is optimal, dont get those who go like half a year+

[random flame]

Hey 5nail, how small in size of a physical server would be acceptable to have a data center host for a customer?

[topaz veldt]

But yeah no one for lab would run an R940 unless they found it on the ground, because cores are useless without memory performance, and to get memory performance in a 4S box you need to run 2 DIMMs per channel. That's 6 DIMMs per CPU, that's minimall 24 DIMMs just to get baseline memory performance. And, at 8GB, that's only 48GB per socket. 56 cores in a socket with 48GB is useless. You built a stupid box.

[topaz veldt]

You realize a company that operates a datacenter, or its customers in a colo, PAY thousands of dollars to ahve their shit picked up with certificates that it went away legally and securely. Things don't get donated.

[topaz veldt]

I don't think I understand the question can you reword it

[fervent chasm]

I’m sure if you knew the right person you could get one donated

[steel stream]

I wish I could have longer hair, but my hair is curly and if get's too long it gets into afro territory which is not my style

[fervent chasm]

What do server recyclers actually do? Resell or destroy?

[topaz veldt]

You are not going to get a company with proprietary data (which no one will attest to ISN'T the case) on a server giving it to an outside party for free, no.

[fervent chasm]

I don’t want the data, or the drives

[brisk jolt]

the longer hair i have the more i struggle with dandruff/scalp, and its nice having easier airflow up there for cooling

[topaz veldt]

You're missing the point

[fervent chasm]

What if I gave a dollar

Then it wouldn’t be free

[steel stream]

need some noctuas up there

[terse sage]

Yo dudes is it ok to have this cable extra (connecting the 12x6 cable for GPU)

[random flame]

What's the physical size limits for a server that can be hosted by a data center? Like if you wanted them to host something the size of an RPi in a tiny box, would they have a physical size limits for this or would that be fine as is?

[terse sage]

That extra PCIE plug

[topaz veldt]

When a recycler comes and picks up something... the serial numbers are recorded and the chain of custody is such that the company, if they are clueless, has an insurance-contract by the recycler that no proprietary data on the device will be retained. No one is showing up to a real business and being like "dont worry I don't want the data"

[fervent chasm]

Probably want it to be rack mount

[random flame]

Asking 'cause I've been mostly curious about it.

[fervent chasm]

Someone make a rack mount for the pi

[steel stream]

yeah that's fine

[topaz veldt]

That depends on the colo - some specialize in that. Your run off the mill datacenter sells rackspace by the U

[steel stream]

that's just a pigtail coming off the cable

[topaz veldt]

it already exists

[fervent chasm]

Waste of space

[topaz veldt]

like an R940

[fervent chasm]

Need to fit like 16 in that spot

[fervent chasm]

No cuz r940 is cool

[fervent chasm]

Quad socket

[fervent chasm]

Could fit more

[topaz veldt]

Being impressed by quad socket is just uneducated sorry

[random flame]

Ooooo noice.

[fervent chasm]

I’m not impressed

I just like quad socket

[brisk jolt]

Need a turbocharger in the body…. Need more horsepower….

[topaz veldt]

You have no experience with quad socket systems

[fervent chasm]

I wonder if Tri-socket is technically possible

[topaz veldt]

How wouldn't it be?

you populate the socket and the DIMMs

[fervent chasm]

Don’t you want even numbers or something

[topaz veldt]

No because that's not how servers work

the DIMMs are mapped to the socket

you can buy an R940 and run 1 CPU

[fervent chasm]

What server that’s cheap should I get for 6 16mp streams to save to storage?

[topaz veldt]

You're a hardware guy you said

[fervent chasm]

You’re the server guru tho

[topaz veldt]

Yeah I am

my rate is pretty high though

[fervent chasm]

That’s why I’m asking the pro

[fervent chasm]

No quid pro quo or is that the wrong term

That’s definitely the wrong term

What’s the one for free legal advice

[topaz veldt]

Quid pro quo would imply you have something to offer me lol

[fervent chasm]

My (very obvious) intelligence

I can crimp ethernet for your servers

[topaz veldt]

thousands of dollars in lift kit.... $0.99 engine bay light fell off

[fervent chasm]

Btw how do you guys get ethernet runs, you pay professionals to crimp?

[topaz veldt]

ethernet?!

[fervent chasm]

Cat

Or is it all fiber even inside

[topaz veldt]

I haven't seen ethernet cables in 15 years

[fervent chasm]

Bruh

I hope NWR can fix that ram

2x64 would be sick

[random flame]

That says a lot, but makes sense to me. Lol.

[fervent chasm]

My network can’t do more than 5Gb

[topaz veldt]

this is a typical ToR switch

[fervent chasm]

what are those ports called again

NFT

[random flame]

I mean, mine almost never even cracks 45 mbps, sooo....

[topaz veldt]

those are SFP28

[fervent chasm]

SFP

[heavy mantle]

i heard the new models where good but better than native??

[fervent chasm]

I was close enough

[heavy mantle]

and dlss 4.5 is to be rolled out to all rtx gpus apparently too

[random flame]

Over promising as usual, they are. Lol.

[fervent chasm]

Aren’t those kinda expensive

[topaz veldt]

I've got like 60 of these new in box

[fervent chasm]

How much more do datacenters pay vs regular prosumers for stuff? Is it like the military?

[topaz veldt]

These are cheap

[fervent chasm]

What is cheap for you

I might be out of your budget by a lot

[topaz veldt]

you might be

[fervent chasm]

I’m very poor

I spent too much on my computer even though it was a great deal

And I have no play money left

[random flame]

How cheap exactly?

[fervent chasm]

Can’t say NDA

No disclosure of SFP prices

[topaz veldt]

Those are on ebay for $135/ea usually

[fervent chasm]

[topaz veldt]

I have like 90 of them

[fervent chasm]

That’s a lot

[fervent chasm]

That’s more than my pc is worth

[random flame]

Hmmm... I guess that's doable.

[topaz veldt]

stacks of 64GB 2Rx4 3200 Mhz

[fervent chasm]

By a large amount

[fervent chasm]

Pls donate

[fervent chasm]

You got any ddr5 ecc?

I’ve never seen it

[random flame]

Those things usually are pricey at full price new.

[topaz veldt]

yes tons

[fervent chasm]

what about ddr6

Oh how did the optane stuff go? I saw some listings for it and reminded me

[topaz veldt]

Got a lot of DDR6 also

[random flame]

Like wasn't it close to about 300 or more for those new or am I misremembering?

[heavy mantle]

invite snail to your house and that might do the trick, maybe offer some tea to get him going

[heavy mantle]

wat?

[topaz veldt]

not recommended

[fervent chasm]

Oh he would have fun here my basement is dedicated to messing with stuff

[heavy mantle]

you dont like tea?

[fervent chasm]

I got a press, spray paint, random computers parts

[wraith steeple]

[fervent chasm]

[topaz veldt]

[heavy mantle]

i wana go to ur basment then

[fervent chasm]

Mine is better because it’s not finished

[topaz veldt]

neither is mine

[shell void]

i’ll be generous and let you have $20/ea lad

that’ll do

[topaz veldt]

[fervent chasm]

[wraith steeple]

[heavy mantle]

oh wow

your basment is huge

[fervent chasm]

Old one was bigger

[random flame]

You have a warehouse for a basement??

[topaz veldt]

its long, but got some water coming in thru that window

[fervent chasm]

My networking corner

[fervent chasm]

Used to, it’s just the filling that’s white

[heavy mantle]

ohh

[fervent chasm]

Whatever was used for the repair

[heavy mantle]

man everytime i talk to snail i feel poor af

😭

[fervent chasm]

Yah we all are compared to him

[fervent chasm]

Why

Why do you need so many

Donate some to the poor

[fervent chasm]

I’ll take the boxes they sell for like $100

[fervent chasm]

Oh similar to mine just cleaner

[topaz veldt]

Thats when it was built

[fervent chasm]

Much cleaner

Ohhhh

Nah the downstairs is ugly but upstairs is nice

[topaz veldt]

9 ft ceiling basement

[fervent chasm]

I did this camera

[wraith steeple]

If only ours was this big

[topaz veldt]

2x 200A panels

[fervent chasm]

Lucky

[heavy mantle]

wait

whats the latest basment pics now?

[topaz veldt]

me?

[heavy mantle]

ya

[topaz veldt]

whatcha mean

[fervent chasm]

We caught a car break down in front of our home on the outside camera, that was funny

[heavy mantle]

like what does current bsmnet look like , not just empty ome

[fervent chasm]

You see the car stop and then a bunch of smoke comes out of the exhaust

[topaz veldt]

that area looks about the same - 2 server racks

[heavy mantle]

ah neat

[topaz veldt]

the basement is huge, its like 2000 sq ft

[fervent chasm]

What servers

Where do you store your gazillion cds

[heavy mantle]

thats like a little under my house size sir

for your basement 🙂

[topaz veldt]

its why its not finished yet lol

[fervent chasm]

I told you we’re all poor compared to him

[topaz veldt]

I am running 5 R740s mainly

[fervent chasm]

I went inside one of the houses my dad is doing carpentry on, apparently it was a billionaire, god I wish I had that kind of money

The house was beautiful, I wanna be that rich when I’m older

[topaz veldt]

me too

[fervent chasm]

The door was like 2 doors high

[topaz veldt]

its for giraffes

[fervent chasm]

The owner has been paying $50k/day in renovations for a few years now and has been complaining how long it’s taking

He fired the old crew that the builder selected for the roofing and found his own

They have to redo the entire roof

[heavy mantle]

what is like the most expensive graphics card snail you would willingly destroy for for fun

[topaz veldt]

I don't want to destroy shit

[heavy mantle]

if you wanted to

[fervent chasm]

Himself maybe he’s a GPU apparently

[topaz veldt]

I'd rather just use a GPU

[fervent chasm]

GPU/CPU pronouns

[heavy mantle]

that makes quite a bit of sense

[topaz veldt]

this was pretty terrible

[heavy mantle]

oh i remebr that 4090

[fervent chasm]

Did you barf thermal paste

[topaz veldt]

thats 5090

[heavy mantle]

ohw at

oh wait nvm the 4090 one was a liquid cooled strix

[fervent chasm]

Looks like you did some experimenting with eating thermal paste and threw it back up

[topaz veldt]

I've got two waterblocked 5090 Master Ice

[fervent chasm]

Liquid Metal cool it

[topaz veldt]

nah

[fervent chasm]

I’m sure NWR would fix it if it broke

[topaz veldt]

@steel stream holy shit

[fervent chasm]

What’s a hifi man

[topaz veldt]

They make headphones

I mailed a set of headphones in and they replaced them

[fervent chasm]

Yo wait have you guys seen the radios that can do wifi multiple km away with LoS?

They’re like handhelds

It does 915MHz at like 1Mbps really far

[topaz veldt]

I used to work for a company that did radio .... to the space station

[fervent chasm]

Oh maybe a guy I know worked with them

He did the Apollo 13 sound decryption or whatever tf it’s called

Where they converted the audio into digital or something and took forever

[topaz veldt]

@edgy laurel so the 9800X3D SFF machine is solid AF for gaming. But I will say, when I have Arc open and alt-tab out, with discord, with outlook, chrome, etc., its WAY chunkier than 9950X3D. Its totally usable but it gets chunksauce.

[fervent chasm]

Snail would you recommend Dell r940 or RPi5

[topaz veldt]

Thats a good way to get on my block list

[steel stream]

yooooooo

hell yeah

5nail have you been using the Sennheisers much

[wraith steeple]

I'm late to this but

[topaz veldt]

24/7

[steel stream]

How do they compare to the Hifimans?

[topaz veldt]

Completely different ani mal

the arya stealths are better, no doubt

These are not as bright

Sound stage is decent but not super wide like arya

but these dynamic drivers will be good daily drivers

[steel stream]

yeah honestly I prefer the Senn sound, these Anandas are pretty harsh in some of the higher frequencies when listening to music

I gotta borrow the Senns from my brother and do a true comparison

[wise bear]

Triple 560s and a single 280 is wild

[shell void]

lol the 9850X3D at CES was made in 2024

and it’s not even marked like an ES

how long has AMD had this cpu ready and just chose to not launch it?

[steel stream]

they've always had it ready, they just wanted to wait for 9800X3D sales to die down

[pure garnet]

that’s why mac can’t get a good sample

they’ve been hoarding them

[shell void]

don’t worry because his 9850X3D will cap at 6000 and 7800 too

[pure garnet]

prolly

[wraith steeple]

[pure garnet]

afaik the soc isn’t claimed to be binned at all

[steel stream]

of course not

i would pay $529 for a 9850x3d with a guaranteed 1:1 6400 2133 fclk 1.2v tile from amd

over the $479 base

[devout ridge]

i see no issue, other than there not being thermal pads on the VRMS and VRAM

good good

I can't believe the dude didn't die

[low sorrel]

akn i gave away that venator bp that i offered you yesterday btw

[steel stream]

oh yeah I saw that message

[topaz veldt]

it was a shock trap, an explosive mine, and 3 snap grenades

[vestal granite]

no but i have seen satellite dishes to get public wifi from far away

i dont know how well it works but i know they can see the connections

[steel stream]

and a partridge in a pear tree

[low sorrel]

you gotta use trigger nades next time

[topaz veldt]

here we go again

[vestal granite]

whats that, fortnite?

[steel stream]

yes

new update

[vestal granite]

could tell by the font

[devout ridge]

looks like he hid behind that cabinet thing immediately, diminishing the damage from the grenades

[vestal granite]

or maybe deadlock, they like that font too

[devout ridge]

Arc Raiders iirc

[steel stream]

godspeed

[low sorrel]

what you can also do use a barrcade and some push mines. Place the barricades at the end of a zip line and put some push mine sbelow it @topaz veldt

[topaz veldt]

shadow play is rollin

[devout ridge]

Speaking of, Arc Raiders is in my steam family library, time to try it out

well it's time to try it out in 9 minutes when it finishes downloading

[vestal granite]

thats gotta be the same font

if the 2nd image capitalized the words itd be identical

[steel stream]

not really

[low sorrel]

do you think i can run arc raiders on my framework 13?

[vestal granite]

i swear

[steel stream]

time to play the waiting game

[steel stream]

It's very similar here

[topaz veldt]

damn, it didnt work

[steel stream]

did you get curb stomped

[devout ridge]

is arc raiders PVP only, or is there PVE

[steel stream]

it's PvPvE all the time

[devout ridge]

oh

[steel stream]

there's no dedicated mode for either

[topaz veldt]

i need to plant them on the ceiling and deeper in

[turbid locust]

[steel stream]

I think you are best off planting them on the left where the orange one is

[turbid locust]

Aren’t these literally 9950X3D cache CCDs

[steel stream]

so they can be hidden after opening the doors

[turbid locust]

can you shut your bitch ass up

they do 90 damage each

A friend of mine is trying to put together a set up, and her only real requirement was to play Minecraft without lagging, with maybe some other games in the future. because of this, I was going to steer her towards a system with an iGPU and when she has more money to buy an new PSU with headroom and shove a GPU inside, but I'm not up to date with how good modern iGPUs are.

can someone help me out a bit? would something like an Ultra 5 255 or Ryzen 7 8700G be enough?

[turbid locust]

8700G iGPU is about as strong as a 1060 3GB

If that gives you a reference

[arctic mango]

not really. I haven't used that kind of card in years, since I ran a GT 1030.

[topaz veldt]

roffl akn

[arctic mango]

but its just minecraft?

[devout ridge]

did you plan on running minecraft at max settings, or just any settings

[steel stream]

you get one?

[arctic mango]

now that I think about it that's a question I should've asked her. She'd at work right now but I'll send her a message

[livid flame]

Sounds like you’re ballin son

[frank zealot]

Do you have an RTX 5090?

[dusty lotus]

no

[frank zealot]

Then PCIE 5 doesn't really add anything to anything else you'd put in there

[dusty lotus]

but good thing knowing i can safely go 50 series

[topaz veldt]

@steel stream @low sorrel @turbid locust this one was less creative and more just lol

[frank zealot]

anything 5080 and under suffers basically zero performance hit from being on 4th gen

[dusty lotus]

ive seen

[turbid locust]

Regardless, idk about Intel, but the AM5 APUs have terrible PCIe lanes so the iGPU to gpu upgrade path doesn’t really work. That cpu has like half the cache as normal too.

[dusty lotus]

the difference between 4.0 and 5.0 on lower end cars is none

3.0 is where everything gets handicapped

[steel stream]

[frank zealot]

do not buy an HP pre-built, the upgrade path is typically hot garbage

[arctic mango]

good to know

[frank zealot]

it's most likely a proprietary mobo and psu, so adding a GPU later is challenging to impossible

Does she have a Microcenter near her?

[arctic mango]

Don't know, I'd have to check

does building yourself still save a lot of money?

Yep - a cheater got me

[steel stream]

[low sorrel]

Frame gen gets me to 45

But Imma be honest

I would rather play with 30 fps then use that input lag

[topaz veldt]

any meaningful difference between these two boards? I want the USB-C video out capability hence the x870e choice

[wraith steeple]

Yes every shitty "how to" tutorial from that era had this blaring in the background captured on a Windows XP PC with the Unregistered Hypercam watermark on the top right corner

[fringe vigil]

[steel stream]

[wraith steeple]

For watching YT, yes. Being a creator, no LMFAO

Especially since false copyright claims took zero effort to do. Especially since some where from companies folks never heard of, or most likely the person falsely flagging it pulled out of their ass because... Something

And you thought YT's Copyright System was bad?

2006 - early 2010s was far worse

[slim pebble]

According to a leak from Dell, yeah. We’ll need to wait and see if they actually release it and when.

[manic sigil]

It leaked in pre built

[fringe vigil]

easy to get views though

[topaz veldt]

I am still not convinced

[hot stratus]

Just get 16 TB of a RAM and call it a day

Hello! I have a question about an upgrade I'm considering for my pc and I was hoping for some advice. I've got a ryzen 5 3600 and i got someone from marketplace to go down to 200 bucks for a ryzen 9 5900x. From what I'm seeing I can then sell my CPU for around 70-100 bucks making this a 100 dollar upgrade to my CPU. My question is: is this a worthy upgrade?

[topaz veldt]

For CPU-based workload, sure.

[turbid locust]

Core buff would be cool if you do multicore workloads, otherwise the gaming performance would be a bit better assuming you aren’t perma gpu bound

[pure garnet]

at about 100 bucks i'd do it

[onyx ether]

i'm running a 3070 so i'm looking to upgrade that in the future for sure

[pure garnet]

apparently this is how aawave ships their cpus

7800x3d in da bubble mailer

[turbid locust]

that’s not even a bubble mailer that’s just a bag

[pure garnet]

they put that antistatic bag in a bubble mailer

and ship that to your door according to people online

[turbid locust]

ah lmao

[pure garnet]

i need a media sample of the 9850x3d

[turbid locust]

vibe

[onyx ether]

a bit better gaming performance works for me, I think i'm gonna hop on the deal

[pure garnet]

30s of eclk and i have one prolly

[turbid locust]

nuh uh

[pure garnet]

supposedly most do 5.6-5.7

and my cores are decent

[turbid locust]

if it doesn’t say it on the IHS you’re a fuckin POSER

[hoary hatch]

bLLC posting already????

[pure garnet]
