nah x870e apex

merry stirrup
#

this wont fix am5 skill issue

pure garnet

iā€™ll play with the ocf once i remember to install it

merry stirrup
#

YOU HAVE AN MPOWER

pure garnet
#

yeah and

#

doesnā€™t fit my requirements for daily board

livid flame
#

For most other people that wouldā€™ve a troll

#

In this discord, nope. Thatā€™s just standard.

merry stirrup
#

which one

merry stirrup

#

When an mpower is considered not good enough KEKW

merry stirrup
#

doesnt have enough expansion really

#

and is not big

sturdy furnace
#

my laptop power brick is 200W but When in a full stress but didnt use 200W why?

pure garnet
#

i mean itā€™s objectively worse than the gene and the apex but not by much

#

itā€™s 95% of the way there

merry stirrup
#

id use it

pure garnet
#

just missing the asus specific optimizations

merry stirrup
#

its got doohickey buff

#

bro has my exclusive 3d printed case

pure garnet
#

if i didnā€™t have a fishbowl itā€™d be fine

#

yeah which i still use lol

merry stirrup
#

cuz its good

pure garnet
#

i swapped the board in it though

merry stirrup
#

the print files are somewhere in hwbot

pure garnet

even though theyā€™re identical

brisk jolt

#

iā€™m scared to open hwbot bc i clicked the team request button like 3 times expecting a menu to pop up

merry stirrup

oh god

pure garnet

the hwbot website is very janky to a new user

merry stirrup

i dont remember why marc let me into the team but im pretty sure bro just wanted people

#

Mercedes or BMW ??

merry stirrup
#

or maybe cause 11700k/7700k scores

pure garnet
#

i think thereā€™s no way of cancelling it so

eventually itā€™ll get denied or accepted

What about DeepSeak is it better than GPT?

pure garnet
#

iā€™m having a hard time imagining 8600 would be much better real world then gear 1 though

6400 is lame but

i could go crazy and learn terminations on the mlg

i wonder if i can get an x870e ocf for like $6 since people hate asrock

#

literally the gene is better for LN2 probably thats it

pure garnet
#

i thought it had prefetch

turbid locust
#

iirc you can get that pretty easy on most boards with a modified bios

#

like if it matters that much

pure garnet
#

but yeah i largely agree the mpower is great value for what it is

#

the gene and apex are way more money

#

mpower clears hdv and force easily

#

i like the board and i really need to just not mess with my daily system anyways

turbid locust
#

apparently the force is really good for mem oc but the VRMs literally look like theyā€™d explode if you put a 9950X in it

#

but I would never buy the force because of the IO

pure garnet
#

the main thing i want from an asus board is to try their ā€œmagicā€

#

the z890 ocf profiles are all for ln2

turbid locust
#

Donā€™t let it get overhyped lol but it can occasionally be nice

pure garnet
#

iā€™ll just grab one next platform upgrade

turbid locust
#

I need the 9850X3D to hurry up

pure garnet
#

by the time nova bllc or zen 6 x3d drops iā€™ll have enough income that an apex shouldnā€™t be a massive expenditure

turbid locust
#

I donā€™t see myself buying an apex for <8600 gear 2 lmao

#

but for zen 6 idk man weā€™ll see

pure garnet
#

iā€™ll see what zen 6 likes anyway

turbid locust
#

Who knows what those things are gonna do ram oc wise

pure garnet
#

when i stop changing numbers i have an good sample 9800x3d running happy

turbid locust
#

I will day 1 vanilla zen 6 so

pure garnet
#

i donā€™t think i will but weā€™ll see

#

if mem is interesting maybe ill grab an r5

turbid locust
#

I will buy whatever Ryzen 5 they pop out

#

I forget how they release the SKUs

pure garnet
#

but i plan on benching -> daily the theoretical apex i buy

#

so thatā€™ll be with an x3d

turbid locust
#

I will daily the HDV until I inevitably buy another competent 800 series+ board thatā€™s good at ram oc

#

then Iā€™d probably just daily the mpower

pure garnet
#

who knows what i end up doing i might just rebuild again

#

maybe i go true meta and build an itx pc

turbid locust
#

ITX is kinda OP for ram oc

#

but any half decent ITX board is going to cost the same as an OC oriented mid tier mATX or ATX board

pure garnet
#

ironically my b550-i was the worst board iā€™ve owned with memory compatibility

#

well b550i gigabyte whatever

#

unstable at 3200 šŸ”„šŸ”„šŸ”„

brisk jolt

my random B550 mATX 4 dimmer did 4000 no issue

pure garnet
#

it died randomly on my sister all together so

probably just a cursed board

my sister has a b650e-i now which probably would do great gear 2

this is what I dailied on AM4

brisk jolt
#

When I was on AM4 I didnt even know if EXPO was enabled on the prebuilt pepoJuice

pure garnet
#

i used xmp till i got my 7800x3d

#

then i used buildzoid timings bc i didnā€™t have a 6000 kit

gloomy vault
pure garnet
#

and then somewhere the bug hit

turbid locust
#

yeah my AM4 silicon lottery was nice

gloomy vault
#

my current 13900K cant even do 3800

turbid locust
#

every single cpu Iā€™ve ever bought after AM4 has been ass

gloomy vault
#

i blew up the imc on my previous one that did 4200

pure garnet
#

mac on am5

turbid locust
#

I owned more than one cpu on AM4 that did 2000+ FCLK

#

my 5600x would boot and bench 2067 FCLK stock voltages

pure garnet
#

iā€™ve had decent luck with am5?

#

7800x3d is lame but doesnā€™t need high vsoc for 6000
1.3v 9800x3d 6400
1.2ish 6400 9800x3d

brisk jolt
turbid locust
#

My first 9800X3D did 6400 but it needed 1.28vsoc and the FCLK was super bad.

pure garnet
turbid locust
#

like it was 6400 with 2033 fclk

pure garnet
#

oh both of those are at 2133

turbid locust
pure garnet
#

i never tested unsynched uclk

#

i returned that first cpu once i knew it wasnā€™t the solution to my problem

ironically though my bench system is literally just my pc as it sat when i joined ltt less the new motherboard

I remember the Asvab being suspiciously easy

like thereā€™s deadass a section where youā€™re putting pieces together like a puzzle

itā€™s meant to be like a pattern recognition test but like lol

#

idk I just remember speedrunning that shit and having to wait at my desk for like 45 mins

ripe needle
#

Yeah it took me like 5 minutes

#

A lot of it was easy and the rest was just stuff I don't understand

turbid locust
#

the real asvab not whatever tf you did

ripe needle
turbid locust
#

yeah the actual asvab can take 1.5-2.5 hours according to google

#

I remember it taking me like an hour or so iirc

ripe needle
#

Well I doubt it would take me that long at least

turbid locust
#

fym you doubt it

ripe needle
#

If I don't understand a problem I just start guessing honestly

#

I don't break it down

#

Usually why I end up with bad test scores

turbid locust
#

Itā€™s like a 150 questions unless youā€™re spamming answers not even reading itā€™s gonna take at least an hour

Okay an 1.5-2.5 hours makes sense now

true, but definitely a bad omen

#

i might get some more HDDs and use it as a steam cache, so i can delete some games and have them ready for super fast download at a moment's notice

i'm using a 4tb drive as my OS drive, and only drive in my desktop RN, and i only have like 600GB free

if i can pull from a steam cache on my nas, i can download at full fat 2.5g

better than my internet speed of 300-500mbps

my nas rn is really full, like 97% full i think

#

though i only have 8tb available

#

(3x4tb hdds in raidz1)

most of that space is windows backups from my desktop though, i have an app that runs a weekly backup that adds any new files/modified files from my PC

So I have two RM1000x PSUs barely used at all, bought end of 2024, and a local friend of a friend said he'd take them for $110/ea. I was like sure fine. Then i realized.... these things are fuggin $210/ea

#

So alas, I will continue to sit on (2) RM1000x lol

#

Maybe build something else and have extra PSUs

edgy laurel
topaz veldt
#

I didn't already agree lol

#

I said I had two surplus make an offer

#

Yes - sure, fine, I'll let them go.

#

but only then did I look at what they sell for

#

I stopped buying Seasonic after having a couple bad experiences with PX1300s

#

My main setups use BeQuiet Dark Power Pro 1500Ws

#

and then my other stuff is RM1000x and SFF1000

devout ridge

i use whatever they include in those old intel servers, R630 and R730

then an SF750 in my desktop

devout ridge

i've yet to have a PSU die

topaz veldt

I used to use Seasonic when mining

#

but had a couple different PSUs have issues

devout ridge
#

actually that's a lie, the PSU in my parent's alienware gaming prebuilt died, after like 6 years

but it's some stupid proprietary one so i had to replace it with another alienware unit for like 50usd

the current PX1300 ATX 3.1's get a glowing review from Aris

devout ridge
#

if your transients are pushing you over 1300w, you probably have other issues

#

okay that would be one point where transients could be an issue

#

if you get a synced up transient you could be at like 2000w for 1ms

edgy laurel
#

broken down into many categories

#

his overall best pick regardless of power was the Super Flower Leadex ATX3+ 1700W

topaz veldt

Yeah it was 3090s on PX1300s constantly tripping

I had like 8 or 10 of them and nothing but issues

Karma comes around fellas - I was helping a dude kill some small arcs and then he turns around and kills me takes my Anvil IV and Ferro IV, etc. Then this past round a dude was fighting the matriarch with me, he fell down the shaft and died, dropped hullcracker IV, Anvil IV, and like a half dozen epic items

btw all of my oled amoled devices so far got burn in after many years of use

#

but yh i didnā€™t use additional screen savers

#

and the devices that i used less donā€™t have burn in, for example my a52s and poco f6

shell void
#

that looks like general imperfect uniformity which is common for woled

#

i donā€™t think he has any burn in, probably just hasnā€™t looked at 5% grey until recently

#

qd oled can look splotchy too, but those vertical stripes are a signature quirk of w-oled panels

edgy laurel
#

I also feel like taking a picture makes it look worse than in person

hereā€™s the test pattern

brisk jolt

I always ignore it- I have the monitors and PC switches turned off when not in use

shell void

you turn off all of your room lights, and take an intentionally over exposed photo of that test pattern

#

blow it out on purpose

edgy laurel
shell void
#

itā€™s unrealistic but thatā€™s what everyone does

topaz veldt
#

That doesn't look nearly bright enough

shell void

yeah because youā€™re supposed to black out your room and take a massively over exposed photo XD

#

thatā€™s the pattern that i used for both of my photos

maxed pixel brightness on the monitor too

how it looks to your eye IRL versus how it looks in the over exposed photo

edgy laurel
#

you want to keep power to it when its off/in standby

brisk jolt
topaz veldt
#

It runs pixel cleaning when off

edgy laurel
# brisk jolt Mind explaining to me why its better to?

For OLED's specifically they'll often do all their pixel cleaning and maintenance while not in use. For monitors, thats often when they go into standby after some predetermined amount of time. Its meant to keep the panel healthy and not be intrusive

topaz veldt
#

But it can't run pixel cleaning when unplugged

edgy laurel
#

ya

topaz veldt
#

I will have to try this banding thing later when its darker

#

My photos so far show nothin

full power cycles are unnecessary stress to save single digit standby wattage

snail, do you have a 6000 pro blackwell?

edgy laurel

no

topaz veldt

There's no blocks for them

I'd be super limited in what I could put it in

devout ridge
#

iā€™m surprised thereā€™s no blocks

#

i would have thought someone would make a 1u block so you could stick six of them in a chassis

topaz veldt
#

Nah the drive for like $8k GPUs isn't great

#

and then $8k GPUs that you want to rip apart

devout ridge
#

i guess at that point youā€™re better off with some of the proper server cards instead of the workstation rtx 6000s

#

rtx 6000 supports most games right? since it has RT and directx12

shell void
#

rtx pro 6000 uses the same drivers and gpu as the 5090

#

it supports all the same stuff and more

devout ridge
#

it has specific studio drivers, but no geforce drivers

#

at least on nvidiaā€™s website

shell void
#

the studio drivers are the same thing, they just update them less frequently

#

ive been running studio on my 5090 for a long time

devout ridge
#

so itā€™s essentially the stable branch of drivers, where as game ready is the more frequently updated branch

#

what kind of models can you run with 96gb anyways?

edgy laurel

should ask @keen wigeon

what would be the most cost effective card to get shit loads of vram?

topaz veldt

5090

when you look at CUDA/VRAM vs $

turbid locust
#

I think the problem with my computer is that my 5090 is not fast enough

merry stirrup
turbid locust
#

slow nerfed 14900k

topaz veldt
#

The Pro 6000 WS cards are basically 5090s with 96GB of RAM and no aftermarket support. So once you pay the $8500ish you could get 3 x 5090s (when in stock and not scalped) for the same VRAM and 3x the compute, with parallelization

#

And obviously much easier to resell a 5090 vs a 6000

devout ridge
