i have a msi sword 15 a12uc gaming laptop with a 144hz screen. if i buy a external monitor with 240hz will i be able to use the entire 240hz on this laptop?

[azure tide]

ok vro ty

gang you let me in a serious doubt. i dont know shi about am5 cpu. i need suggestions.

7 7800x3d should be good no?

[south shuttle]

it will explode and rockets will fall down on the entire town, then a crack will form in the earth’s crust and the second you know the whole earth is split apart and eaten by the sun

yes the 7800x3d is fine

can be gotten for like $250 off aliexpress

[azure tide]

ok buddy thanks for your sapiency

[azure tide]

brazil has insane aliexpress taxes, i would pay the double of the price lmao

even if the seller is from my country

[south shuttle]

rip, what are you paying then

[azure tide]

$400 (including the love tax) in a good website

lemme check in ali rq

yeah the double

js $20 difference

[green marsh]

@merry stirrup when are you buying https://www.techpowerup.com/review/asrock-x870e-taichi-ocf/ ? 😄

[merry stirrup]

i donot like ryzen

[shell void]

the smaller blackwell cards are so silly

95% heatsink

[azure tide]

he a cutie patootie

Adata, 32GB (1x32GB), DDR5, 5600MHz, C46, AD5U560032G-S i should be fine with this right?

[green marsh]

it started back in GTX670 era

was not as crazy, but still

[brave panther]

could prob be 1 pcie slot but long af

[edgy laurel]

no one is going to suggest buying that

but it will function

[radiant gale]

Pretty standard for a cpu fresh out of the box to score lower than average on user benchmark?

[azure tide]

my cpu works better without a cooler

[edgy laurel]

no it doesn't

[azure tide]

but it would explode

[edgy laurel]

ignore that site, its a joke

[brave panther]

userbenchmark...

https://tenor.com/view/homer-lol-the-simpsons-marge-lisa-gif-8714260

[radiant gale]

What’s up guilty! I think I got it all figured out finally. What would you use for a benchmark?

[shell void]

the "average" results in benchmark sites like UserBenchMark, PassMark, 3DMark etc are not actually average joe PCs

theyre "average" enthusiasts

scoring slightly below average isnt unusual for an untouched PC on mainline windows

[radiant gale]

Sweet that’s what I was thinking just wanted to know what the experts thought

[brave panther]

just dont use userbenchmark, ignore that site completely

[heavy mantle]

meh

what about the shape of a penicl holder

or having the walls the pc and you just pllug it into a moniter

[pallid marsh]

He didn't even tweet that

[green marsh]

nothing blends in like those 😄

[edgy laurel]

if your desk is the kitchen?

[heavy mantle]

ooo that looks preaty

[heavy mantle]

ah haha yes but it would be slighly more expensive to place these guys in a office enviroment lol

[topaz veldt]

with an infinite amount of dragons more

[leaden dawn]

Smeg?

[fringe vigil]

[digital plume]

i spent the entire morning getting that fucking clutch

[fringe vigil]

on what

[digital plume]

because the bolts stripped and had to get someone with an angle grinder

i think i posted it earlier

[fringe vigil]

shii

[digital plume]

but then the clutch plates I got were a little too big

my bad, little too small

until i got all of them to spin normally

[fringe vigil]

[hoary hatch]

Different channel I think

Posted it earlier in TC1 I think

[digital plume]

yep i forgot

[hoary hatch]

I wanna see how thrashed my transmission is

[digital plume]

oh my tc1 post got drowned in messages

[digital plume]

i just know these clutches were completely burnt

[hoary hatch]

[edgy laurel]

my current car is my first automatic

[hoary hatch]

You're the exception that proves the rule

[turbid locust]

I made the transmission shift with my mind

[hoary hatch]

It's not that manuals don't exist here, just exceedingly rare with each passing year

[marsh apex]

Gng my laptop just isn't loading into my OS

I need help idk what to do😭

[hoary hatch]

My next vehicle will almost certainly be an EV so no manuals for me

[turbid locust]

If I have my way with it I’ll never own a pure EV

I’m down with hybrids but full EV? Naw.

[edgy laurel]

this is the answer. PHEV is where everyone should be going

we moved too fast for full EV, stll don't make sense for the vast majority of people

certainly can work for some

[marsh apex]

I don't even know if I can reinstall

I'm genuinely just stuck here

[turbid locust]

I could live with a full EV but from a pure mechanical standpoint I don’t want one

[hoary hatch]

I drove from Oregon to Arizona in an EV and it was perfectly fine

[marsh apex]

I'll fully turn off my laptop and unplug it and try again in the morning

[hoary hatch]

[turbid locust]

[digital plume]

I'd love to have one someday and try it out

Weather pattern is looking favorable for maybe a big snowstorm in late January

But we will see

Gonna enjoy this event though

[steel stream]

woah woah woah

let's not be rash here

[low sorrel]

eh 25 years old isn't that old for a jet

[edgy laurel]

35, iirc

A lot has changed within the past 10 years even soooo

wasn't it a 1991 Dassault Falcon

never mind 35

[edgy laurel]

1990

[low sorrel]

still not that old

i mean 737-800s are around that age

they will be flying for another 2 decades atleast

[edgy laurel]

annuals, hanger space, fuel. If Linus is moving around enough it could make sense

[low sorrel]

fuel isn't actually the biggest cost

[edgy laurel]

i didn't say it was

[low sorrel]

fuel is alot cheaper then annuals and hanger space

that's slick

[edgy laurel]

that one has clearly had an interior refit

[shell void]

LMG pays more than that in a year of salaries so it's not unbelievable for them to have a jet

buying first class tickets for several employees would get old

[edgy laurel]

yeah i mean if its all not some elaborate hoax, someone has done the math

its just odd to see a purchase and not what many companies do and charter or use a partial ownership/sharing situation

@edgy laurel how dumb is it to use 8x 16gb optane m.2s for a metadata cache

like 40usd for the drives 40usd for the necessary carrier cards (yes i have the necessary PCIe Lanes)

[edgy laurel]

I really have no idea one way or another

[devout ridge]

what would be the best way to set those up in a pool, like 4 mirrors?

it's metadata so surely shouldn't need that much capacity

[edgy laurel]

the last time I had or cared about a home server I was using a dell perc hardware raid card and old school raid 5

not familiar at all with how any of that works anymore

[digital plume]

what were optanes for again

ram might be so screwed we go back to using optane as ram

[brave panther]

Aks: Are you paying?

[gritty drift]

Optane drives were to make an HDD to an SSD. atleast that was the idea. In real life that didn’t really work out. And if your optane drive died, everything would be gone because it’s a Raid 0 configuration. So no redundancy.

[topaz veldt]

https://tenor.com/view/confused-no-nope-gif-5413974953753901704

[green marsh]

the absolute biggest lie of Optane was the laptop marketing 😄

they were marketed like 4+16GB RAM

(for 4GB RAM and 16GB optane). Like this

[topaz veldt]

the biggest lie was computers

[tranquil finch]

https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/B850-AORUS-ELITE-WIFI7-rev-1x if i install there rx 9070xt and 2 m.2 pcie 4 SSD. Will everything run at full speed?

[young void]

Probs

[topaz veldt]

the manual will tell you

[tranquil finch]

Idk then

[young void]

Under specifications it list its pcie x_ per cpu and ssd config and or its expansion slots ❤️ 🐛. But everything will run fine yiss, dont overthink it

[gritty drift]

Am I wrong? I’ve never used those potato drives. Only replaced them with actual nvmes. So i also never really knew them until we learned what I told before in school (I’m an apprentice in a IT company)

[topaz veldt]

its just that optane was not just to be used in hybrid drives

[edgy laurel]

in the case of the M20 or M10 (my work laptop uses the M20 setup with a 32GB Optane + 1TB NVMe) the optane can die and you don't lose anything

the idea was an accelerator, not "raid 0" with the main drive https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000058286/memory-and-storage/intel-optane-memory.html

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000060152/memory-and-storage/intel-optane-memory.html

and there is all the Optane that isn't "Optane Memory"

"i got a 2k monitor" this will either trigger people or not do anything

[oak vector]

Im going to nuke my sleep schedule

[oak vector]

Technically 1k lol
Cos 4K is 4x 1080p 😛

[dusty lotus]

again, the k number refers to the horizontal pixel count so that IS 2k

4k 4 times 1080 is 2 in each direction

[oak vector]

So why people call 1440p 2k

my whole life is a lie

[oak vector]

Touché

[brittle trellis]

Real digital 2K is 2048x1080

Technically 1920x1080 is a 2K resolution but if you call it 2K you will be clowned on

[livid flame]

@atomic gale I am wet but I am not dry. What am I?

That will test if he’s a bot

[oak vector]

99% of the time they try get you to do something out of the blue
Along with questionable English too
That’s how I tell

@atomic gale do you have a middle name by chance?

[brittle trellis]

4k is just the common name for UHD

[south shuttle]

2k - qhd heheh /s

[edgy laurel]

designed for a simple name for consumers buying TV's, nothing more

[south shuttle]

why people call qhd 2k it makes no sense

[oak vector]

Apparently no

[south shuttle]

2560 is rounded up to 3k

[oak vector]

Society or whatever

[south shuttle]

and 1440p is rounded up to 1k

[edgy laurel]

Simple.

So why do people call 2560×1440 "2K"?

Because when "4K" was new to the consumer market, people would ask: "What's 4K?", and usually the response was "it’s four times as many pixels as 1080p". Unfortunately most people misinterpreted this and assumed that the "4" in "4K" actually stood for "how many times 1080p" the resolution was, and since 2560×1440 is popularly known as being "twice as many pixels as 1080p" (it's 1.77 times, but close enough), some people decided to start calling it "2K", and other people heard that and repeated it.

Hearing and repeating

[brittle trellis]

I wouldn't give them credit for their explanation being that complicated

[edgy laurel]

in short the xK names are useless outside of Joe Bob at Best Buy buying a TV and simply shouldn't be used.

[sullen otter]

on a flat map norway looks to be further south east

[oak vector]

Well 4K is technically 4x 1080p tho
So I can see where the confusion lives

[edgy laurel]

They don't accurately define anything

[brittle trellis]

Please look at a damn map lol

[south shuttle]

maybe 1440 + 2560 = 4000 and : 2 and you get 2k 🤣

[oak vector]

I appreciate getting humbled lowkey lmao

[edgy laurel]

Paragraph 2, which you hopefully already read.

While it’s true that 4K UHD (3840×2160) is four times as many pixels as 1920×1080, that isn’t why it’s called "4K". It’s called 4K because it's approximately 4,000 pixels horizontally. The fact that it’s also 4 × 1080p is just a coincidence, and that pattern doesn’t continue with other resolutions.

[dusty lotus]

1920 is closer to 2000 than 2560

[south shuttle]

there is dci 2k

[dusty lotus]

dci 2k is the cinema high definition standard, 1920x1080 is the consumer 2k

[oak vector]

So the whole 2k/4k naming thing is just kinda silly tldr

[edgy laurel]

YES

[oak vector]

we live and learn boys
We live and learn

[dusty lotus]

3840 is close to 4000

we write thousands as K do we?

it makes 100% sense

[south shuttle]

it’s weird that’s a cinema standard considering the farther you look the more the aspect ratio should be to 1:1

[oak vector]

Also I think I’ve decided on what bike I wanna buy in a couple months when I get my motorbike license !!!!

[fallow crown]

Is it possible to move windows to another drive? I want to replace my boot drive from a 2.5" ssd to a m.2 Nvme

[south shuttle]

but understandably taller cinemas are more expensive to build

[oak vector]

imax my beloved

Digital imax when 😔

[brittle trellis]

Possible? Yeah
Should you? No. Clean install it

[fallow crown]

[livid flame]

Wait so shouldn’t 3440x1440p also be called 4k? As there’s no 3k… unless there’s a 3k?

But both would be totally wrong as it’s nearer 3.5k wide

[brittle trellis]

No

[oak vector]

2560x1440 is the closest thing to 3k

[livid flame]

Then what do you call UWQHD?

[livid flame]

No it’s not. 3440 is closer than 2560

[oak vector]

Oh true

[livid flame]

440 v 460

Wait no I’m dumb

It’s the same

[oak vector]

Ain’t
Ain’t they the same

[dusty lotus]

3.5k

[livid flame]

This is a fucking conundrum

[oak vector]

im way too tired for this LOL

[livid flame]

I’ve never seen 3.5k

[dusty lotus]

because nobody uses that name

[south shuttle]

3.4k*

[livid flame]

Me too. Bed at 1.30 and up at 5am 😭

[brittle trellis]

That is UWQHD

[dusty lotus]

4k would be 3.8k in that case

[livid flame]

But what is it in numbers

[brittle trellis]

No numbers?

But WHY

[south shuttle]

false false false

[brittle trellis]

You wouldn't call DQHD 5k

[livid flame]

Why do we do this dumb naming scheme then not do it. Why

[south shuttle]

yes

[oak vector]

So thank you @dusty lotus for your topic starter lmao
We’re all confused but we’re all learning

/thread

[livid flame]

Holy I had a stroke

[south shuttle]

when people ask for a 2k panel i know they mean qhd but i’ve had some people also mean fhd or the actual 2k res

[brittle trellis]

Dual Quad HD

[south shuttle]

i don’t call qhd 2k

it’s stupid, qhd is also easier to write

[dusty lotus]

i call 1080 2k

just so i confuse lost people

[brittle trellis]

Don't say I didn't warn you

[oak vector]

Hd
Fhd
Qhd
Uhd
Make more sense

[dusty lotus]

what about 8k

[edgy laurel]

The mistake you're making is assuming the "xK" naming convention is a universal standard. It is not. It was created for a couple specific resolutions based on misleading logic to help simplify TV buying for the general public.

Outside of those specific situations like with PC displays over the years, its not used and should be ignored.

[brittle trellis]

8k is also UHD

because fuck you, that's why

[dusty lotus]

then how do you differentiate 4k and 8k

[oak vector]

2uhd

[dusty lotus]

uhd pro max

[edgy laurel]

@livid flame @oak vector

[oak vector]

Yup
I am seeing that now don’t worry haha

[brittle trellis]

It's easy for TVs because they're always 16:9

[edgy laurel]

yep

[oak vector]

I mean besides it being correct, quick way to confuse people and wage a war lmao

Don’t know what either of those are

[dusty lotus]

speaking of displays i cant wait for microled to reach the consumer space with tvs and monitors like idc about ppi much i would be fine with a 32in 1080 microled only for that insane image quality

[brittle trellis]

32 inch 1080p

Insane image quality

[atomic gale]

It's Okay bro you can check on Virustotal. Before the opening the site or any links

[brittle trellis]

I can see the SDE from here

[oak vector]

32in 1440p is about the lowest I’d go at 32in

[dusty lotus]

quality not sharpness

[oak vector]

cos it’s like
Similar to 1080p 24” in terms of pixel density iirc

[edgy laurel]

It exists in TV's if you have 6-digits budgets but do not hold your breath for monitors or anything at reasonable prices. See: C Seed or Samsung The Wall

[turbid locust]

pixels per foot

[edgy laurel]

We just had this converation

[oak vector]

I mean the pixels themself might look like nice pixels
Which is good
Because you’ll see them for sure

[dusty lotus]

i am aware but i mean smaller than 45in

[edgy laurel]

Not happening in the next decade if ever

something else will be the next big thing by then

[dusty lotus]

could qdel become mainstream before microled?

[oak vector]

I kinda want a bigger monitor even though 32inch is already kinda massive for me hahahaha

[brittle trellis]

Be a real man and use a dinner table as a desk with 3 50 inch TVs as monitors

4K 120hz tvs do exist
It is kinda tempting

I actually would really like a gaming projector lmao

[livid flame]

lol. Just saw the LTT video on spending money. That moment Linus is far more transparent than the self proclaimed consumer crusader Steve from GN. That’s a GG sent from 2023.

[edgy laurel]

Did Steve do a video like this?

[livid flame]

Never

[edgy laurel]

So, how can you come to that conclusion?

[livid flame]

The man that always talks about how much everything costs him in every consumer crusade video he does?

The man that will tell you his case chamber cost over 100k every time he uses it?

[edgy laurel]

How do you know he would be just as open if they decided to do a similar video?

You're mad about something but making up a false reason

[livid flame]

The man that wants companies full transparency and crucified them for making profit but won’t post his?

He’s been asked in multiple occasions and refused

[leaden dawn]

I'm not sure this is what he means

[edgy laurel]

Not sure if thats true but if it makes you feel better, I guess

i don't really care either way. I just see the praising of one party means its ok to hate on another as a stupid practice. Enjoy what you got for what it is, not to put others down

[pure garnet]

i don't care for gns content but the % based breakdown of how money is spent isn't something that would sway me either way

[azure bluff]

Wsp chat, i got a problem with my gaming laptop it keeps freezing and whenever i reboot it it would also freeze at the start up. I refreshed my graphics card and even updated it not i don’t think that seems to be the issue. If anyone can help me my DMs are open🙏🏽

[wide obsidian]

Hey everyone. My pc is making the device connected and disconnect sound randomly and constantly... I've tried keeping track in device manager and event viewer isnt showing any hardware logs.... if anyone knows about a good 3rd party app to track device activity that would be awesome.

[edgy laurel]

I don't care for most of GN's content (these days) either but I also don't really care about their expenses. Not going to make a difference but the internet white knights love this shit i guess

[leaden dawn]

If anything all I care about is getting reliable journalism and them not treating their employees (or viewers for that matter I suppose) like shit

[oak vector]

[livid flame]

I actually like most of Steve’s goals and his content. Problem is he blurs a line of insulting and wanting transparency and holding others to a standard higher than himself - while claiming to uphold that standard without proof.

[oak vector]

I genuinely love learning about how Linus does things, business wise whatever.
There was an interview done with him and I thought it was excellent.

I need to go back and rewatch it ngl

[leaden dawn]

Neither GN nor LMG are infallable

[livid flame]

It was an interesting breakdown and I was surprise LMG profit was above 10% tbh. That’s good going

Especially considering some loss leading areas.

[oak vector]

even tho im not an investor, nor a YouTube premium or channel member, or a floatplane pilot, i still find it fascinating and am still like, invested in it

[leaden dawn]

And this goes to journalism. Not being transparent about every goings on in the company

[oak vector]

Linus - an open book from what I’ve seen.

[edgy laurel]

These people only put on video what they want you to see. No ill will anywhere, its entertainment at the end of the day, but you don't really know any of them. That video was purely entertainment.

[leaden dawn]

I like to think I know Linus after watching his content for the good part of 10 years at this point but I really don't

[oak vector]

I mean yeah they gotta pay the bills somehow I guess

my ivy/sandy asus board didnt have a cool uefi so i figure haswell

3080 on a core 2 duo?

no lol i have a 9800x3d

so it is what it is

bought the gpu like 4 years ago lol

at msrp from evga

$500 cpu upgrade for what

[cosmic gazelle]

5800x bottlenecks about 20% of my gpus performance in ue5 titles

i said it bc you have notch as ur pfp lmao

[cosmic gazelle]

brother i literally did before and after testing and gained 20-30% performance in every ue5 game i own

what are you on about

[arctic bronze]

its a big peformance jump

[turbid locust]

Do you literally only play UE5 games

[cosmic gazelle]

and also with how cpu intensive games are becoming, i’d imagine even the 9800x3d will be a bottleneck in a few years 😭

[cosmic gazelle]

every game i actively play had become cpu bottlenecked

[arctic bronze]

in dont think it will, my 7800x3d is doing great

[turbid locust]

[cosmic gazelle]

escape from tarkov pve has a locally hosted game mode and my gpu is still bottlenecked by the 9800s single threaded simulation performance

and that’s like my main game rn

[arctic bronze]

tarkov runs like shit no matter the hardware tbh

[turbid locust]

Consider playing better games

[cosmic gazelle]

i mean i’m getting like 140-180fps on most maps now so im happy with that

[turbid locust]

1080p or what

[cosmic gazelle]

1440

[arctic bronze]

it stutters like crazy

[turbid locust]

[cosmic gazelle]

i actually found that my stuttering went away when i turned OFF “use only physical cores”

but its case by case

[arctic bronze]

huh, nice

[turbid locust]

I just have a hard time believing a 5800x would hold a 3080 back that hard at 1440p when my 7700x didn’t hold my 7900XTX back at the same resolution lol

[cosmic gazelle]

5000 vs 7000 is a big jump in single threaded

[turbid locust]

yeah like 20%

50% faster gpu

[cosmic gazelle]

idk mane i was playing outer worlds 2 and a particularly cpu bound area went from 40-45 to 65-70 fps same settings same gpu same everything

i might have had memory misconfigured or something but pbo was on

[shell void]

i do believe especially because they can cheat more gpu performance with dlss

ryzen 5000 vanilla is only skylake performance, it's pretty outdated compared to current gen

obviously it works fine but a 9800x3d is damn near twice as fast

[cosmic gazelle]

i mean that’s a stretch lmao

[shell void]

im considering the 10900K to be skylake when i say that because it is technically

ryzen 5000 and intel 10th gen are similar in a lot of cases

[cosmic gazelle]

oh i thought you literally were arguing a 6800k and 5800x perform the same

[shell void]

naw ryzen 5000 is basically the same as high clocked skylake in most games

going up to a 9800X3D is a huge upgrade, and you can lean on DLSS 4.5 to stretch your 3080 more

i dont think it was a silly upgrade

[cosmic gazelle]

yeah plus i got the microcenter deal so it wasn’t that bad

i certainly have enjoyed the upgrade

[shell void]

not even just damn near, it is over 2x the 5800x in many cases

[cosmic gazelle]

i tested fortnite performance mode and went from 260 to 515 fps iirc

and the 515 was gpu limited

my tarkov fps also just about doubled

[leaden dawn]

How long is am5 stretching again? 2028?

Don't see myself upgrading from my 5800x till then at least, unless it dies on me I suppose. Even then may not

[cosmic gazelle]

at least one and more than likely 2 generations past 9000

[turbid locust]

at that point I’d skip AM5 entirely. No sense in buying into the last generation of the platform.

[leaden dawn]

Yeah was thinking the same

Sucks being an early adopter too though. Least did this platform

[turbid locust]

I was an early-ish adopter of AM5 and it was fine

[cosmic gazelle]

really feels like it’s dependent on the game you play

like i said my 5800x was FINE but it wasn’t GREAT in the games i play

[green marsh]

well, AMD is still releasing AM4 CPUs /s

[turbid locust]

I feel like if you got Zen 3 X3D you could’ve skipped AM5 entirely

[cosmic gazelle]

i would love to see amd release a modified 9700x ccd on am4. you know they could do it and just bin it slightly

[cosmic gazelle]

they’re still going strong yeah

[leaden dawn]

Yeah there's rarely a game that brings it to its knees though. Least in my experience

im still interested in your H24M kit if sanely priced

[brave panther]

but where you gonna stick them in

[turbid locust]

in my 4 soon to be 5 DDR5 boards

5 soon to be 6 actually, forgot about one

[brave panther]

fake

use ddr4

[turbid locust]

I have 1 ddr4 kit left + random stick

koalanoob is insane

the furia rebuild is a W

sorry valorant shit lol

[topaz veldt]

Let me know what sanely priced looks like in 2026

[turbid locust]

like 250

max

[topaz veldt]

It was more new lol

[turbid locust]

kek

gskill tax

[topaz veldt]

I'm getting super bored

Which means I do stupid shit

[turbid locust]

stupid shit like accidently selling me ram for $2.50

[pure garnet]

9850x3d+rtx pro 6000?

[shell void]

you can buy my 2x24 8000cl36 1.4v kit for $600

[pure garnet]

60% chance of working at xmp

[turbid locust]

you can fuck off

[shell void]

ill bundle it with my golden sample 9800x3d for $1200

im a generous guy

[pure garnet]

my 5070ti almost hits 99% use in a mobile game at 4k

i need a 5090 desperately

[turbid locust]

cant do 6600 what makes it golden lmao

[shell void]

lmk when you get a sample that can do 6400 and 2133fclk at a reasonable voltage

[turbid locust]

2133 is cope

[brave panther]

lossless scaling and a old gpu to the rescue

[turbid locust]

I require 8400/2200

[pure garnet]

i will never be down bad enough to use lossless scaling

[distant shard]

Is a 3060 12gb for 160 a good deal today?

Theyre usually 250 on ebay

[turbid locust]

fine if it works

[distant shard]

[hoary hatch]

First time I've seen a PSU in my use this dirty

Eco mode switch was turned off for some reason (either accidentally or I can't read labels properly upside down), so it looks like this sucker has been pulling in air for the last 4 years

[shell void]

not bad for 4 years

[leaden dawn]

Warframe is a mobile game

[topaz veldt]

That's all back hair

[pure garnet]

how many 9850x3d chips do you plan on binning

[turbid locust]

14

[hoary hatch]

This PSU has also done the most work

13700K using launch bios most of it's life, 3090

But I last did some dusting on that PSU when I upgraded to my hx850i in 2020; haven't cleaned the HX850i since then either and that is near spotless

[hoary hatch]

I don't think the fan turns on unless I mess with it in iCUE

[edgy laurel]

how are you messing with a PSU fan in iCUE

its doesn't appear to be a Corsair digital unit

[oak vector]

@fringe vigil I should drive over them right

[cosmic gazelle]

i have mine at stock doing 6200 1:1 and 2167 fclk

is that much different

[devout ridge]

given you didn’t meet a single criteria, yes

[cosmic gazelle]

but isn’t 2167 better

[hoary hatch]

my HX850i

[edgy laurel]

ah

[devout ridge]

bad boy, you aren’t supposed to modify PSUs

[hoary hatch]

My Corsair HX850i (2013) has iCUE support for power monitoring and fan control

[edgy laurel]

good ole USB Mini-B

[hoary hatch]

It's so awful

The mini B will just fall out if the cables are pushing against it

What a terrible connector

[edgy laurel]

and micro-b just feels like you're breaking it every time you plug/unplug it

and if you touch it wrong while plugged it it'll snap off

[hoary hatch]

Yeah but it's actually secure

[devout ridge]

i hate mini b

[hoary hatch]

You're right, it is prone to accidental damage

[devout ridge]

so glad everything is moving to usb c

[hoary hatch]

But micro-b will hold itself in at least

[edgy laurel]

I remember a few years ago finding every mini-B cable in my cable stash and trashing them

[hoary hatch]

I have a few "just in case"

[pure garnet]

highest g1 with 3:3:2 uclk/fclk sync

so no 6400 2133 is faster than 6200 2167

[hoary hatch]

Damn I love the proart look

[fringe vigil]

yh

[oak vector]

I wouldn’t mind a proart gpu ngl

[shell void]

aura

[low sorrel]

Hmm do I get

[shell void]

hell yeah

[edgy laurel]

diabeetus?

yes, yes you do

[hoary hatch]

3x p14 pro intake, 3x p12 pro on radiator

[shrewd mantle]

Prebuilt recs with 1.2k usd budget?

[devout ridge]

not a prebuilt

[hoary hatch]

Costco a month ago

[shrewd mantle]

What was the deal

[shrewd mantle]

With these ram and ssd prices…? Nah

[hoary hatch]

There was like $1500 5070 9800x3d
$1700 or $1800 9900x 5070ti

[shrewd mantle]

Dayum

Already out of rotation?

[hoary hatch]

The sale ended in December

I mean fuck if you're in the US go check costco.com now for what they currently have

[shrewd mantle]

Aw rip

Yea doesn’t hurt to check

[low sorrel]

Tastes like it holy shit

Haven't had an Oreo in atleast like a year

[pure garnet]

https://www.newegg.com/abs-cyclone-ruby-gaming-desktop-pc-amd-radeon-rx-9060-xt-amd-ryzen-5-9600x-32gb-ddr5-1tb-nvme-ssd-cr9600x9060xt/p/N82E16883360940 if you can stretch the budget a bit

[shrewd mantle]

Dank ya

[dusty lotus]

i think we should return to 16:10 monitors

[devout ridge]

i disagree

smaller monitors are unideal

[karmic folio]

bring back square monitors

[hoary hatch]

They exist
But bring on high refresh OLED 16:10

[hoary hatch]

16:10 is an aspect ratio, not a size

[dusty lotus]

do they even sell 120hz 16:10 monitors these days?

[hoary hatch]

So your argument is completely invalid

[dusty lotus]

1920x1200 lowkirkenuinely cool

for 1440 users theres 2560x1600

[hoary hatch]

Dream monitor would be 28" 5120x3200 OLED 240hz

[willow lodge]

hey guys, i'm having a serious issue with my pc. It's been happening for around a year and progressively gotten worse. I don't have a lot of money so I want any help to figure out what's causing it.

At any given time whilst gaming my pc will crash, it doesn't matter what game, what settings. It could crash 50 times a minute, or once a day.

When it crashes, both screens go black, my audio bugs out and my fans ramp upto what sounds like 1000% and it will stay like this until I manually turn it off. I have monitored both temp and voltage during these crashes and they are normal.

Pc specs: RTX 2080 super, ryzen 9 5900x, corsair ddr4 2x32gb ram, msi b550 tomokawk

it literally crashes on roblox, lowest settings possible (i literally mean ANY game)

[dusty lotus]

for me dream monitor would be a 27in 4k microled but it sounds stupidly expensive and almost impossible

[hoary hatch]

Probably 10 years from MicroLED making it's way to the desk top

[edgy laurel]

#1027757333117415424 Also if you've been suffering for a year and haven't wiped windows, don't even bother doing anything else. This is a moving chat and your issue is just going to get lost. Off topic here anyway.

[dusty lotus]

microled wont go above 100ppi in the nearest decade

[willow lodge]

I made a post awhile back and didn't really get anywhere, I've reset windows and also downgraded to 24h2. still same issue

[dusty lotus]

have you thought about it being a hardware issue

[edgy laurel]

Reset isn't a reinstall. Update BIOS, check for memory issues, stress test hardware

[dusty lotus]

swap the gpu and the cpu

reseat ram

[willow lodge]

i cant i have no money, i need a way to get as close as I can to knowing without spending

[willow lodge]

I have

[edgy laurel]

ya, at a certain point its just going to be hardware swapping

[dusty lotus]

test it in cinebench24

[hoary hatch]

I am happy to be surprised by future technological advancements

[dusty lotus]

first check gpu and then cpu

[oak vector]

Real

[willow lodge]

I've updaated bios, and stress tested. only ever crashes during games nothing else

[oak vector]

I want a 42in 4K monitor

[pure garnet]

i would reinstall windows and if it's still happening on an all new config then yeah something's faulty

[edgy laurel]

GPU going to 100% fan speed and the screen going black is usually a GPU hardware fault

[leaden dawn]

Is your cpu boosting? Try disabling it

[edgy laurel]

move it to another PC and replicate

[oak vector]

I was wondering why my phone screen looked dim
Then I remembered
I haven’t used sunglasses with a phone in the last 3 years lol

[willow lodge]

i run 100% normally, its faster than that. it's almost like its overheating except its not. its weird

[dusty lotus]

i want to buy another one of my dell to make a stacked 24in setup because i kind of feel better with 24in rather than current 32in

[brisk jolt]

holy ppi optimisation

[willow lodge]

turned off all oc and boosts in bios

[wise bear]

👀

[willow lodge]

doing this now

[dusty lotus]

most normal amd experience

[leaden dawn]

Its an nvidia gpu

[dusty lotus]

using amd is like using linux after being a windows user
only works if youre technical, only the special ones run good, "at least it aint got fake cores"

[brisk jolt]

w h a t

[leaden dawn]

.. What lmao

[brisk jolt]

Did he take the wrong medication?

[leaden dawn]

Are people still this delusional about the Intel amd thing

[dusty lotus]

i took the correct meditation

[wise bear]

borm are you high

[brisk jolt]

he said meditation instead of medication

[wise bear]

meditated wam

[brisk jolt]

he definitely either took the wrong ones or straight up got crack

[dusty lotus]

i am high near the building limit

building limit? what are buildings going to do now

i consumed 0.02 grams of liquid wood

[brisk jolt]

gtfo

[dusty lotus]

the intel core ultra 9 495 will be intels flagship in november 2026 featuring 52 cores with 12 p cores clocking at 6.1ghz with a tdp of 150 watts

sorry i mean 16 p cores

[hoary hatch]

I think that launch has probably slipped to 2027

Would love to be wrong

[brisk jolt]

cant wait to see more ferrari crashouts

[hoary hatch]

mods moving fast

[dusty lotus]

faster than fast

worst game mechanic is when you follow an npc and your walking is slower than them but running is faster than them

[indigo walrus]

Oi, pipe down! I'm trying to eat my Tiramisu Cinnamon Bun over here. (Thank you for da ping.)

I mean chicken rn

[dusty lotus]

[hoary hatch]

Frank's with a side of chicken
