ur face is ai

[dusty lotus]

dlss enhanced

i am in future and nvidia officially stated 60 series will be ai accelerator cards that run on their geforce now service

and dlss 5 takes a 320x180 image and upscales it to 4k with barely any loss

[edgy laurel]

won't need dGPU's at that point

[dusty lotus]

the ps6 runs on nvidia now

[edgy laurel]

actually a fantastic place to be

[dusty lotus]

tegra rtx is the soc

faster than any amd igpu

intels release of nova lake is so successful amd stock fell by 5%

news from the future brought to you by this user

in 2027 3 month anniversary of world war 3 happens

[topaz veldt]

whats good fam

@edgy laurel that was awesome snow today

who knew outdoor furniture could be so expensive

[terse maple]

how expensive exactly

[topaz veldt]

like, a lot

[terse maple]

ok shit I did not expect that much

why so much? damn

[vagrant cargo]

@edgy laurel I remembered the full size pc case i couldn't figure out the name of the brand , MetallicGear

[topaz veldt]

teak i guess

[terse maple]

probably

my outdoor furniture is whatever the hell I could find

10/10

[hoary hatch]

My outdoor furniture includes a grill, 4 plastic Adirondack chairs from target, and a small folding table

[devout ridge]

16:10 1080p would be less total pixels than 16:9

[hoary hatch]

Oh dear

[devout ridge]

I’M RIGHT AND YOU KNOW IT

[hoary hatch]

Oh deary dear

Someone forgot to install the braincell this morning

Okay let's discuss standard resolutions

[terse maple]

sounds nice

[hoary hatch]

FHD 16:9 = 1920x1080 = 2073600 pixels
FHD 16:10 = 1920x1200 = 2304000 pixels
2.3 million > 2.1 million

[remote vault]

thats 1200p

[hoary hatch]

Go look up 16:10 monitors and tell me what the resolution is

[edgy laurel]

it was a snow day, thats for sure

[topaz veldt]

A lot more snow than I expected

[edgy laurel]

oh no, not again

[brisk jolt]

mb bro i thought you were left

[hoary hatch]

They never learn

[remote vault]

16:10 1080p would be 1728x1080 right?

being fewer pixels than 16:9 which has 1920x1080

[edgy laurel]

stop it. "1080p" as a descriptor didn't exist when 1920x1200 PC monitors were common place. That became a term for RESIDENTIAL TV's

Its just confusing things trying to use it to talk about two different resolutions

[hoary hatch]

1080p is a shorthanded way to write Full High Definition

FHD class starts at a 1080p 16:9 display

You can make it taller
You can make it wider

[remote vault]

well its 1080 progressive scan no?

the FHD standard is for the 16:9 aspect ratio

[topaz veldt]

there is 1080i also

[wraith steeple]

[remote vault]

interlaced?

[topaz veldt]

yes

[hoary hatch]

This server makes me want to introduce my forehead to a pneumatic nail gun sometimes

[edgy laurel]

lets just throw in Rec. 709 while we're at it

can't forget HDTV

[remote vault]

whats that got to do with resolution

thats a color standard no?

[terse maple]

you'll live man lol

[edgy laurel]

Its a standard encompassing a number of things, an image of 1920 horizontal pixels and 1080 vertical pixels being one of them.

I would like to meet the creator of this GIF

[terse maple]

is this really how it feels

[wraith steeple]

[remote vault]

ah i thought it only applied to colors

[hoary hatch]

I forget the exact creator

[edgy laurel]

this is Day 2 of discussing resolutions and how to name them. I swear if people just typed what they're talking about into google and used their eyeballs it would prevent 90% of it

[terse maple]

sigh

[edgy laurel]

<@&750150305383186585>

[terse maple]

some people don't have enough brain power to google

[wraith steeple]

This seems to be common amongst tech related discord servers in general

[terse maple]

I'm in a discord where I feel like I'm the smartest person in there very often

and the same scam people saw in here recently happens over there basically everyday

😵‍💫

[devout ridge]

ik, i’m just taking the piss

[topaz veldt]

damn, free loadie - I helped a guy extract but he didn't make it w/ survivor augment - he surrendered and gave me his shit

[cosmic gazelle]

1920x1200

[remote vault]

that wouldnt be 1080p though it would be 1200p

[cosmic gazelle]

it's the same ppi

[verbal berry]

im still stuck on if i should buy this game or not

[remote vault]

yeah but it has 1200 pixels vertically and is referred to as 1200p

[cosmic gazelle]

ah yes because 2560x1440 is called 2k because there are 2000 pixels vertically

[edgy laurel]

y'all are just chaos personified i swear

[remote vault]

its called 1440p

you can call it 2k but who does that

[cosmic gazelle]

my laptop has a 2560x1600 screen and if someone called it 1600p i would probably fart in their general direction

[remote vault]

2.6K?

[edgy laurel]

both of you right now:

This is my fact thats half wrong

Yeah well this is my fact thats also half wrong

stoooop it

[cosmic gazelle]

https://tenor.com/view/gigachad-gif-5430850758035663288

[remote vault]

for 2160p its 4K i assume because it is 3840 pixels horizontally (close to 4k)

[cosmic gazelle]

1200 is close to 1080 😂 i'll stop i'm sorry

i had to

[remote vault]

we just talking to talk atp

😂

[topaz veldt]

selfishly pumped, I have a ton of 32GB DDR3

[remote vault]

we moving to ddr2 🗣️ 🔥

my pc with 32gb ddr5 is like a gold mine

im surprised the US doesnt invade countries for their pcs to take their ram instead of oil

[topaz veldt]

stupid comment

[cosmic gazelle]

WE are gaming on q9650s in 2025

with 32gb ddr2

(is that even possible?)

oh wait

[arctic bronze]

what?

[cosmic gazelle]

core 2 extreme qx9770

[arctic bronze]

is 32gb even possible with ddr2?

[remote vault]

the united states of america

[wise bear]

[arctic bronze]

ik what "US" means, i said that to the dumb comment

[remote vault]

who recently invaded venezuela and are taking 50 million barrels of oil

[wraith steeple]

[terse maple]

[remote vault]

im saying why dont they steal ram instead of oil because of ram prices rn

[cosmic gazelle]

just checked, it looks like 16gb is the maximum unless you get into extreme edge cases

but like lets be real, a qx9770 isn't playing games that need more than 16gb

[arctic bronze]

yeah bc ik ddr2, 4 GB was like god tier then lmao

[cosmic gazelle]

holy cow

[arctic bronze]

ik and its a dumb comment

[cosmic gazelle]

qx9770 is like $350 on ebay

[arctic bronze]

bruh

[cosmic gazelle]

what the hell

[remote vault]

well i thought it was funny

[arctic bronze]

no

[remote vault]

yes

[terse maple]

no

[wraith steeple]

Most high end (of its era) retro tech tends to go for a premium

[cosmic gazelle]

yeah

[arctic bronze]

the U curve is at the other end of its peak

[terse maple]

it's hilarious even

[cosmic gazelle]

that makes me want to build a qx9770 ddr2 system with like a 580 in it just to see if it could play like

arc raiders or something even at 10fps

[arctic bronze]

rx or gtx?

[cosmic gazelle]

gtx

well hell, this guy's getting 100fps in RotTR on the cpu

so maybe it would work

[arctic bronze]

if it even launches, but it will get more than that, older gpus are surprisingly strong

well the high end versions

[cosmic gazelle]

i'd be more concerned about the cpu lacking the proper instruction sets

[arctic bronze]

lol

[wraith steeple]

Just look at how much the 3DFX cards are going for

[arctic bronze]

:(

[wraith steeple]

Though they're now collectors items status now

[cosmic gazelle]

this person is getting in the 40s of fps on TW3 with the cpu overclocked to 4.275ghz

better than i would have thought

[wraith steeple]

Though I would love to mess around with PC-9821 stuff someday

[topaz veldt]

Getting slightly burned out on Arc

I'm being a nice man and helping take down matriarchs and the getting killed by rats that I defib

[arctic bronze]

idk what those are

lol

[arctic bronze]

if you like RTS games, try "Beyond all reason" its a free to play but you gotta download it on their website

[topaz veldt]

Hmm not so much my genre

I played command and conquer like 25 years ago

[arctic bronze]

lmao

[eager elm]

what headphones do you guys use?

Im on ATH-R50X rn but I wanna switch

[indigo walrus]

Sony WH-1000XM3's, Logitech G733's, and Logitech G435's.

[cosmic gazelle]

i use wh xm4s at my pc

no real complaints, i don't like gaming headsets and i have a dedicated mic

[smoky bobcat]

I use xm5

[edgy laurel]

Sennheiser HD650's

[smoky bobcat]

The only issue ive found with the xm5s is that Valorant forces it to go to call mode, even if you choose another audio input, which makes audio quality horrible. Theres a workaround for that tho
-# issue present with any bluetooth headset really

[cosmic gazelle]

if you're more comfortable with "normie" audio curves (e.g. unnecessarily bass heavy) the sonys are good, sennheisers are more neutral iirc

[hoary hatch]

Home desk - Sennheiser HD598 SE (primary), Corsair virtuoso XT (when I need a headset or wireless)
Work desk - Corsair virtuoso SE
Second home desk - Corsair virtuoso
Daily driver - beats studio buds+ (clear 😎)
Bed - Google pixel buds pro
Occasional at work - Sony wh1000xm2
Occasional at home - Sony h.ear on

[smoky bobcat]

i guess you can tune them in the eq 🤷🏻

[cosmic gazelle]

the xm4s don't have any kind of low latency codec that connects to my pc as far as i can tell so i just use a wire

[eager elm]

I rlly like my open backs but I dont like that I can hear everything going on around me

[smoky bobcat]

I dont care about latency unless I am playing CS2 or Valorant, which is pretty rare, so I always use my xm5s with bluetooth

[cosmic gazelle]

i ran my pc fans at max speed for a while so that was not a great option for me lmao

[eager elm]

if any1 has any recommendations id love to hear u out

[cosmic gazelle]

if you like in ears shures are great for desktop use i've heard

[edgy laurel]

too many options, too many personal requirements, too varying of price points

[eager elm]

my current headset are the ATH-R50X and I literally love them, they are the perfect pair of headphones but I unfortunately get really annoyed that I can hear everything in my house. $160

[edgy laurel]

at home at my desk, open back is the best for me

[eager elm]

yeah it's more of a personal issue, they're fine when im home alone just not when there are ppl around

[teal orbit]

open back seems quite good, but idk if I'm able to tolerate headphones anymore

[cosmic gazelle]

bros gonna be the guy echoing in his discord call

[edgy laurel]

yep, can't wait to get mine off. feel so much less confined using speakers

[teal orbit]

They're not that loud

[pure garnet]

i’ve used the same set of hd 58x for like 6 years with no echo issues

[edgy laurel]

how does that even happen

[teal orbit]

with my HD 6xx you can't even hear it from more than a few inches away from the driver

At least with my volume

[hoary hatch]

Also like background noise suppression exists

[edgy laurel]

background noise supression, noise gates, push to talk

there really is no reason that should ever happen

[pure garnet]

actually speaking of my 58x i had to order another pair of pads for them

so we're on 3 cables 3 pads now

[edgy laurel]

1 cable and stock pads for my nearly decade old 650's. Says more about how little I wear them if anything

[hoary hatch]

I immediately replaced my cable, been using that one since
I replaced my original pads at 9 years in

[turbid locust]

i stg like 70% of the games I match MVP i lose lmao

One of my highest HS% games too :/

[dull mantle]

valorant is always like that

[brisk jolt]

i got my ass abused in custom tdm yesterday

1v2 against my asc and dia friend 💀

[dull mantle]

I bought phase guard in that game and then got banned for being afk(kicked) for 3 days right after F valorant

[turbid locust]

half the enemy team that match peaked >5 ranks higher than my peak

val matchmaking system is questionable af

[oak vector]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-stupid-ranked-teammates-my-ranked-teammates-gif-14648399069570790444

[turbid locust]

yeah basically

quite frankly my team didnt understand basic concepts of the game lol

[oak vector]

[turbid locust]

like they did not know what a retake was

I commed it several times like "just back out and we'll retake as a team"

no. We try to 2v5 site every round lol

[oak vector]

[brisk jolt]

we fixed the mmr system

[turbid locust]

tbf they did for placements

[brisk jolt]

yeah you can also kiss my butt

[oak vector]

How mfs feel after rushing and getting sniped and blown up instantly (im mfs)

[turbid locust]

My main placed like 50rr lower than what it was before reset and my alt placed like 50rr higher

it's not a guaranteed -3 ranks anymore

im trying to get my main to the same rank as my alt rn

[brisk jolt]

riot allocating resource teams is essentially just them sleeping

auto renew subscription only for the skin team on

[harsh sail]

i am that teammate

[oak vector]

[cosmic gazelle]

this is wild

intel’s solution to not being able to raise ipc is to just make the cpu the size of a small country apparently

[oak vector]

[ripe needle]

I can hear sounds

[turbid locust]

right

[ripe needle]

Like more sounds

I'm only listening to lossless 😭

[brisk eagle]

hopefully your headphones can actually play those sounds

[ripe needle]

i think they can

i got the SHP9600s

[pallid marsh]

@low sorrel not again

[low sorrel]

lol

bro im going to crash out

[pallid marsh]

did McDonalds reject your job application?

[low sorrel]

my friend was down 2-10 in valorant i said "ill buy you a skin if you win that game"

and then my other friend in that game said can i have one too

and guess who owes 2 skins now

[ripe needle]

who? 🤔

[pallid marsh]

a dumb fuck

[brisk jolt]

a professional idiot

ngl I also did that when the score was 2-12

the game ended 11-13 like omfg

[low sorrel]

wait i said a skin i never said when

i can get them something from the night market

[pallid marsh]

give them chicken skin'

[low sorrel]

me when the scoreline started creeping up

[brisk jolt]

give them smite

@low sorrel good to know ferrari built this completely blind

[pallid marsh]

peel off some of your own skin and mail it to them

[brisk jolt]

bro passing them dead skin cells

[ripe needle]

🤔

[terse maple]

must be very speedy

[ripe needle]

i think my v8 swapped kei truck would do numbers in f1

[terse maple]

when will ferrari pull out the tractor though

[brisk jolt]

alpine is currently number 1 on the rankings

[brisk jolt]

look above

[terse maple]

I see it

how wrong will they go this season

[brisk jolt]

“I cant see, im blinded by the sun”

Must be the sun

[coral tartan]

Is this good

Never seen ts gpu

[terse maple]

maybe try disabling the sun

[ripe needle]

ig

its like a 3060ti/3070ti

somewhere in there

[coral tartan]

But more vram

And way cheaper too

[ripe needle]

[green marsh]

or blown VRM which murdered a die

[pallid apex]

yall know any wireless headphones with good surround sound and noise cancelling around like 100-120 dollars

[green marsh]

@topaz veldt so i got the APC Gaming UPS which has pure sinewave and 1320W peak power delivery... Completely unopened box, even the seal is not broken. But i misread the year, so it has only ~8 months of warranty remaining. Still, at half price it is not bad, even if batteries are completely dead (which they shouldn't be, as they were not connected to anything, not even the UPS)

[topaz veldt]

I wasn't yelling about anything weirdo

[topaz veldt]

Confused - did you buy it 2nd hand?

A) Yes, I said get PFC because its necessary on high transient devices to not trip their current protection B) I wasn't yelling - you want to hear yelling I'll show you yel ling

Do not recommend anyone a UPS for >900W protection without it being PFC unless you want to hear how annoying it was for them to return it

Did you read what I just said?

I said do not recommend one without pure sine wave, and then you said pure sine wave is good

So now you didn't

What does PFC mean?

Bud

When talking about the home UPS models, the PFC models are the ones that have "pure sine wave" lol

That's why I recommend it

[green marsh]

yes, 2nd hand, but from a friend, and it was never used (as i said, the box was literally never opened)

[topaz veldt]

The non-PFC models are just "simulated sine wave" - they trip current protection on sensitive PSUs

[topaz veldt]

Oh ok cool you're good hten

the Cyberpower and APC PFC models have "pure sine wave" which work more appropriately with the sensitive PSUs today with current protection

It has nothing to do with power factor

Do some research or I'll yell

Then you know to be quiet now

https://forum.level1techs.com/t/pfc-pure-sine-wave-ups-vs-pure-sine-wave-ups/139811/2

[green marsh]

i mean it is a 450 euro UPS for 250 euros. Half the warranty is acceptable at that price

[topaz veldt]

You're welcome now stop confusing people

because there is no such thing as "pure sine wave" without PFC. There is "simulated sine wave" without - those don't work

You're welcome now sit down

[topaz veldt]

Which model is it?

[green marsh]

https://www.se.com/eg/en/product/download-pdf/BGM2200B-GR?filename=Schneider+Electric_BackUPS-Pro_BGM2200B-GR.pdf

[topaz veldt]

For once and for all because I have no patience for you - the models for home use that have Pure Sine Wave are PFC inclusive. WITHOUT PFC THEY ARE SIMULATED SINE WAVE. The end. STFU, respectfully.

[green marsh]

says here https://www.se.com/eg/en/product/BGM2200B-GR/apc-backups-pro-for-gaming-2200va-1320w-tower-230v-4x-schuko-and-2x-iec-c13-outlets-rgb-lights-pure-sine-wave-midnight-black/

[topaz veldt]

Yep you're golden. Ignore dude above.

@green marsh it sucks you're not in the US - I have a $40M contract with Schneider so I know something about power... I could get you free batteries 🙂

[green marsh]

would have been never and option for me either 😄

[topaz veldt]

But let a patio rodent guide you

[green marsh]

more like it is dumb expensive

[topaz veldt]

@green marsh

[green marsh]

i ain't buying 800 euro UPS for home use

[topaz veldt]

Oh look its PFC lol

[green marsh]

that dissasembly of Legrand UPS from a Russian guy still haunts me

[topaz veldt]

The only way you're getting pure sine wave is with PFC in these units

Otherwise its simulated sine wave

but only professionals can read

Let me be clear. Read.

double conversion is not related to PFC lol

But I am done here, read a book or something (or build a datacenter, might be easier)

CS/EE major here

Ok LOL

Double conversion is a fucking topology

You're not getting double conversion in fucking $200-500 UPS

You can (and are) getting PFC with Pure Sine Wave

I didn't say that and I don't think that lol

But as I fucking stated over again Porch Rat, these models that are PFC are Pure Sine Wave. Its synonymous, because that's what they are.

[green marsh]

i got a feeling you guys are talking about separate topics. one is saying the product specification reality (one without another doesn't exist) and the other says "but those are not tied together from electrical standpoint"

[topaz veldt]

He's trying to flex and was wrong but won't let go

Which is why at 630 EST he said "5nail was yelling"

Your cost of entry for a double conversion UPS is prob like $5k USD lol

Clearly not what we're talking about here, and I recommended any of the PFC models as they are Pure Sine Wave, of which your recommended model is NOT and I have had to replace those similar models for tripping OCP on my 3090 mining rigs

Next up Porch Rat is going to recommend wye power

[burnt socket]

i thought about having a ups for the ups just in case the ups dies while I was showering

[topaz veldt]

Maybe stop thinking it seems to get in your way

[topaz veldt]

Don't put the UPS in the shower

[oak vector]

Why is this what I arrive to haha

[topaz veldt]

rats are nocturnal

[oak vector]

https://tenor.com/view/battle-bymyself-gif-25143904

[burnt socket]

no i thought about it while I was showering, the ups will be with my pc

[topaz veldt]

I wasn't wrong and it bothered you so much you woke up first thing with me in mind

[oak vector]

Snail rn hahaha

this man doesn’t get tc2

Anyways hi all hope we doing well lmao

[topaz veldt]

@green marsh my room mate from college (when I was a CS/EE double lol) went on to work for APC -> Schneider. Super cool dude and he's replaced my home rack UPS batteries like 4 times over the last 10 years for me 🙂

[burnt socket]

@topaz veldt should I have a ups for the ups for the ups? I don't want my PC to die in a matter of minutes

[green marsh]

unless i go with official APC batteries, then the alternatives are relatively cheap

[topaz veldt]

If you think I deal with tractor trailer size UPS, and "batteries rooms" and don't know what the fuck PFC and sine wave are, you're a fool. And so that much is clear. Thank you.

[oak vector]

How does one know when to replace ups batteries

[topaz veldt]

It'll tell you lol

[green marsh]

i mean ~40-60 euros for non-APC battery every 3 years is not an issue for me

[topaz veldt]

Yeah - I have not had fantastic luck with the third party jawns in home use

[green marsh]

UPS beeps/gives out status info

[oak vector]

For whatever reason my power is hot garbage lmao
Im glad I have my ups
Has probably saved me a couple times

and I’ve had it for like 4 months if that

[topaz veldt]

I know plenty of porch rats on the internet who wake up with 5nails in mind too, so color me unimpressed.

LOL pathological liar.

That's a new one. Let's dig in there?

[oak vector]

Amazing hahaha

[topaz veldt]

Someone is super intimidated it seems to wake up first thing in the morning and then call someone else a pathological liar.

[topaz veldt]

Usually when I am on business travel and my wife is like "wtf is beeping in the basement"

[oak vector]

some people gotta know when to quit ngl

[oak vector]

Hahaha yeah that’ll do it for ya

[topaz veldt]

It never fails

[green marsh]

the most annoying part about my UPSes is the idle power tho. 15-20W just for it existing (yes, i understand it is trickle charging etc) is annoying a bit 😄

[topaz veldt]

Ha I wish that was annoying to me at this phase

I probably wouldn't recognize if my wife left a hairdryer on for a week

[green marsh]

well, when the server does 90W idle, 15-20W for UPS itself is a lot

[topaz veldt]

Realize they are not really single-watt accurate on load measurement

Unless you're measuring with a device in the wall

[oak vector]

Snails what would be the idle power usage for your many systems

[topaz veldt]

Individual desktops I don't really know. They all have PFC Pure Sine Wave UPS I could take a look at (lol sorry I couldn't resist), but I only semi monitor my server rack

[green marsh]

measuring with smart plugs

[topaz veldt]

Are they the remote controllable type

[oak vector]

hahaha
Fair enough

[green marsh]

yeah, zigbee

[topaz veldt]

So recently had a couple Tapo ones fail and they fail open

[oak vector]

I’ve finally got capacity to start doing more nerd stuff
Im just waiting to buy my motorbike before I do anything major

[topaz veldt]

The relays just peace out

I was using one to measure my sump pump activating

I had written this whole logic around current draw over time to make sure my sump pump ran within a window of time and then it hadn't run in 3-4 days... the controllable outlets relay (despite being ON 24/7) just failed

So now I am doing current clamps because I need something not in the loop, but yeah just a heads up

[turbid locust]

good morning dickheads

[topaz veldt]

stfu stop yelling

Good morning @turbid locust from one pathological liar to another

[green marsh]

i don't really use them for switching on/off, but there is a feature if i wanted it

[turbid locust]

https://tenor.com/view/freak-tweak-tweaker-tweaking-freak-out-gif-16108345590627731463

[topaz veldt]

Get some sleep

[topaz veldt]

me either - and it failed (probably due to current) open, so the load was unable to turn on

[turbid locust]

What happened lmao

[topaz veldt]

damn you thought about me before your coffee, you need help

[topaz veldt]

porch rat above woke up talking about me

He can't read, tried to invoice me the rent in his head, and then resorted to calling me a pathological liar lol

[turbid locust]

5nail? Being pedantic? Nooooooo

[topaz veldt]

He thought I was recommending "double conversion UPS" to someone with a like $250 budget

Instead I was recommending the pure sine wave UPS because the simulated will trip with OCP on gaming PCs

[proven saddle]

Who needs sleep?

[wise bear]

G i a n t fuckin' power panel omg

I still which I had an android, cos that just feels right
But
The 16e I barely had to pay for it and it’s been solid

[brisk jolt]

playing l4d2 with the bois is hella stressful

[random flame]

I don't mind the hardware itself, but iOS in itself is too dumbed down and restricted for me. One thing I don't like doing is having to put minor things I believe can be fixed with some effort on my part on someone else, especially if their answer is basically the nuclear option to every problem I'd have (get a new phone instead).

[turbid locust]

I’ve used brand new $1200 androids that feel laggier than a 6 year old iPhone lmao

[random flame]

Also, Hoi Bill-e.

[oak vector]

Yeah pretty accurate

[oak vector]

Hii

[random flame]

My current phone admittedly feels a ton quicker than my old one and about the same as the closest to latest iPhone gens I've tried so far, so I dunno.

[turbid locust]

I think the real demographic shift is that iPhone users just want a phone

and iPhones are really good at being “just phones”

I don’t feel like tinkering with my phone every time I use it lmao

[random flame]

Honestly, I might be part of that demographic, but also amongst the group that also want options over any wasteful "absolute" options to every problem.

I'm honestly not tinkering much, if at all with each phone I end up with despite being on Android and they work well each time.

The only thing I require is that it's functional and that I can fix it myself (potentially) if something major goes wrong with it... Than being roped into buying a new phone when the hardware itself was not the part that was the problem.

[turbid locust]

Quite frankly I’ve never had something go “majorly wrong” with a phone lol

[narrow gate]

Yes

[livid flame]

We just want a phone that does email. Calls through various apps and texts.

[turbid locust]

yup

calls, texts, scrolls socials, and occasionally takes pictures. That’s my requirement lol.

[livid flame]

We might play the odd game or use the odd app. A bit of social media. Outside that just decent enough camera and yknow, a phone.

[proud void]

the iphone I used in late 2020 - 21 had me failed to answer a bunch of important chats that requires fast respond. It was also near college time, so there was a fuck ton of stuff that I missed at that time due to my iphone just straight up having battery issues and even worse, the signalgate shit where just holding your phone was enough to decrease its signal strength and even wifi. Mobile hotspot was ass that I had to put it on specific spot in my room and even with that it CANNOT EVEN REACH MY TABLE, It was a massive luck that I managed to survive that year (and semester) with all the bullshit that iphone pulled. My family even scolded me a lot for not answering calls because of the battery issue alone. And yes, the lightning port doesn't help either

[livid flame]

For everything else there’s a PC

Honestly, I wouldn't know what to tell anyone on the choices, considering how hard it was to justify the choices I was shooting for when I was choosing my replacement phone a month ago.

[turbid locust]

don’t need that much ram in a phone if it doesn’t have dogshit ram management

[edgy laurel]

i can't imagine having to worry about RAM in a phone. its a phone (i just buy iphones now)

[topaz veldt]

same

[random flame]

Which neither Android or iOS have in a sense by default as long as the manufacturer didn't do something stupid with their version.

[proud void]

Good idea, but nope. I don't do that
I check reviews and compare when there's someone dropped the phone model

not this

[random flame]

It was admittedly stupid when we started exceeding 6 gigs for no reason...

[turbid locust]

“Best phones under $$$” is literally one Google away

[topaz veldt]

[wraith steeple]

My bar for phones is so low that an old flip phone would be fine and more than enough for me

[turbid locust]

(It’s 33% less than a mid tier Android phone I had 6 years ago)

it’s almost like ram isn’t the actual issue

[random flame]

Mine's 12, mostly because Nothing's site was not selling the 8 gig model, which I originally was shooting for.

[topaz veldt]

i have to figure out what phone i even have

its a pixel 9 pro apparently and it has 16GB of RAM

great

[turbid locust]

yeah my 16PM has half that

[random flame]

Bruh. That is so overkill for a phone.

Even 8 or 10 gigs is still considered overkill for a phone.

[turbid locust]

not for an android in my experience lol

[wraith steeple]

Mine has 8 gigs

[random flame]

Well in my experience, it is.

Wow. For a sec, I thought it was a Samsung.

[turbid locust]

Only thing I miss from that phone was the curved screen edges

and the only real reason I stopped using it is cause it got the AMOLED pink and green lines of death lmao

and the cost to replace the screen was more than the phone was worth at the time

Quite literally any B850 would do the trick I’m not gonna lie

[arctic bronze]

Yeah, i sent this one bc i personally use it and its great

Looks good, runs good, has plenty of IO and pcie stuff

also i still have to wait to fix up the eaton cable - got myself a crimping tool today in a store deal, cut off the old broken connector - but the tool came with only up to AWG14 connector, and the UPS cable is AWG10. Waiting for a set of new connectors

[frank zealot]

Find a B650 or B850 that has the IO on the back / inside that you need/want, and looks good to you.

That's about it.

if youre using an older laptop then debloating might improve battery life a bit

[pure garnet]

ram used at idle will be freed when you need it

[green marsh]

the one i posted before, the faston connector broke in middle. So i had to order a crimping tool (which had some faston endings, but only up to AWG14) and the cable which comes to the battery is AWG10, which obviously won't fit in an AWG14 header

[shrewd mantle]

Mmm ok

Just propoganda then

[green marsh]

or in other words, i need one with AWG10 hole on the end where the blue thing is 😄 (which i ordered, but will take a day or two to arrive)

just be carefull with the tortillas, if you don't eat a lot of fiber normally?

[shell void]

yeh tomahawk is a good board

[cosmic gazelle]

i miss the days of the b450 tomawhawk

goated board

[vale cosmos]

good board, do not miss those days though 💀

[shell void]

i dont miss early am4 at all, it was extremely buns

[frank zealot]

Does it have the I/O you need?
Is it within your budget?

[shell void]

ryzen got gud with Ryzen 5000 and X570

everything before that had major issues

[frank zealot]

3000 was solid, 5000 was fuckin' great

1000/2000 were.... great at the time? but iffy

[vale cosmos]

the 1600 refresh and 1660 super was the budget setup for a bit there lol

[shell void]

they were garbanzo beans but got glazed because it was a big leap for amd

i doubled my fps in games going from my r5 1600 to skylake

[pure garnet]

amd launching haswell in 2017 to great praise

[frank zealot]

I mean, going from FX to Ryzen was a huge jump

[frank zealot]

AMD deciding to put 6 or 8 cores on consumer grade chips finally got intel out of 4 cores after what?

A decade of laziness?

[warm urchin]

They were dirt cheap cores is the crux of it

[vital horizon]

im new to pc building, wdym by i/o

[warm urchin]

Even if it was 8 mediocre cores you would have still saved hundreds over intel

[shell void]

ports

[frank zealot]

does it have all the ports interally or on the back that you need

if you're still confused, the answer is probably "yes"

[vital horizon]

yeah it does have all i need

[frank zealot]

then it's fine

[livid flame]

Weak single core but strong multi core in that era

My 1700x pissed all over my 4770k when streaming back in the day, multi core so good it increases my fps. Down side? When I didn’t stream I was slightly lower in fps due to weaker single core

Those were the days when you 100% x264’d as quality was pants otherwise

H264 on my 1060 was just garbage in comparison

[low sorrel]

@edgy laurel @brisk jolt

[gentle urchin]

So True!
AMD FX-8350 is superior

8 core ftw

[edgy laurel]

is that a GR logo? Toyota GR sponsoring on an F1 car? news to me

[low sorrel]

Yeah

[edgy laurel]

but i don't really pay much attention

[blazing matrix]

worth picking up for 10€

[low sorrel]

Toyota has been taking on a more active role in Haas recently

[blazing matrix]

i need opinions

[edgy laurel]

why. might as well be free at that price. if you want it, get it

[blazing matrix]

my current chair is awful and the back support/thing is too short for my back

[blazing matrix]

cant offer to come pick it up for free (i already feel bad for him because its so cheap)

[low sorrel]

Afaik they replaced Ferrari as Haas's sim manufacturer and they fund Haas's TPC program now

[blazing matrix]

and it looks decent not worst not the best either

[low sorrel]

It's a fucking chair

[blazing matrix]

yes but he has done the work of listing it and etc

and iwill feel bad for him

u have any idea what kinda chair is that like brand? or smt

[topaz veldt]

its a $10 chair dafuq

I assume its a POS chair

because its $10

[blazing matrix]

pos?

but nvm my question is is it worth it to get chair with neck/head support?

like do i keep my current that has no neck support and too short back support 2

[low sorrel]

Go buy a used Herman Miller

[turbid locust]

or just any mesh office chair

[hoary hatch]

8 Arctic fans is loud when motherboard is initializing

[pure garnet]

swapped the pads on my 58x bc my old ones were cooked and it feels funny having unbroken in ones again

[edgy laurel]

3k RPM fans make noise

[topaz veldt]

So I just learned that the subwoof on my S990d setup has been cutting out

we have a chair we never sit in that the sub was behind

I sat in the chair when we had guests over today and it was slightly static-y and dropping a bit

[turbid locust]

I think I’m gonna pony up the cash and go full Noctua when I go back to the A3

[pure garnet]

twin

[topaz veldt]

bro honestly it's worth it

OR T30 140s

[pure garnet]

well i have 2 bequiet fans rn because the new 140s weren't out yet but

otherwise im fully noctua

[turbid locust]

A3 doesn’t fit 140s

[topaz veldt]

I have a couple full Noctua G2 setups now and its quiet

[topaz veldt]

ah damn - 120s are good too

[turbid locust]

Well, I want a new AIO cause my LF3 is loud now so I’m thinking about the BeQuiet Silent Loop 3 so

[topaz veldt]

Friend has that and raves about it

[turbid locust]

I would use those fans on the AIO meaning I would really only need to buy two noctuas

and that that point I may just use the extra Pure Wings 3’s I have

so maybe skip the noctuas

[topaz veldt]

I have 3x 120 G2s on my LF3

its silent

[turbid locust]

I’m hesitant to swap fans on AIOs because they’re usually designed for the AIO

[topaz veldt]

barely bud

[turbid locust]

Hardware Canucks swap T30s on their AIOs for testing and it’s almost always either no difference or slightly worse

[topaz veldt]

these $60-100 random radiator AIOs are minimal effort

Its within margin of error certainly, but sound volume and quality is improved

[turbid locust]

Noise normalized always

would rather just save the money

Putting T30s on the Silent Loop 3 would literally double the cost

[topaz veldt]

"noise" is subjective though - dB sure, but the sound itself

[turbid locust]

fair

[pure garnet]

i use 3 a12s on my naut

[topaz veldt]

like the P12 Pros vs 120mm G2 volume is similar, but the noise itself is way less noticeable

[turbid locust]

loudest thing in my system rn is my 5090 anyway. Assuming I actually play a game that even stresses it

[topaz veldt]

true

[turbid locust]

It’ll get louder in the A3

[topaz veldt]

I have debaterd on doing a 280mm side mount AIO in the Ncase M3 but the NH-D15 G2 just works

we're up to Dark Power 14 now

[turbid locust]

Main concern in the A3 is 1. If a 360 AIO would even fit with the 5090 and PSU, and 2. 5090 cooking my ram

luckily the A3 side mount fan cools ram really well

[turbid locust]

I think I’m a corsair RM fanboy now

My RM1000e has done me really well and hasn’t made a peep

[topaz veldt]

yup its good

I just went DPP 1500W because of mining shit and they were expensive so I kept them - now I have custom cables so I am all in, but RM1000x is the go to

RM1000e as well

Dark Power 14 has dual 12vhpwr

[pure garnet]

my rmx has been good but i don’t like the cables on them

on my superflower i got pcie cables without pigtails as an option and that looked nicer

[hoary hatch]

I need to tune them in bios once I get this bios update done

[topaz veldt]

DPP 1500W has the nicest OE cables

[hoary hatch]

Hopefully the newer Asus bios is less crap

[topaz veldt]

they're like a paracord sleeved cable stock

[pure garnet]

i have the pure power and the cables are fine

[edgy laurel]

i can't believe how many of them it came with

[pure garnet]

i’ll look into the dark power though

[edgy laurel]

straight through, 8pin to 8pin

[pure garnet]

yeah my leadex has pounds of spare cabling

[hoary hatch]

Initial browsing tells me none of the white Corsair PSUs come with premium cables

Sadge

[topaz veldt]

The RM1000x comes with.. I think... 3 8-pin EPS

[pure garnet]

wtf is this thing

[topaz veldt]

switches from multi rail to single

that's what I needed to flip with the 800W bios on my 5090

[pure garnet]

those are really nice stock cables

[topaz veldt]

it has a jumper you can install also which is what I used - I don't need to switch between

[pure garnet]

any reason to not just leave it in multi rail

or single i mean

[topaz veldt]

yeah, 5090 w/ 800W OCP'd it in multi rail

oh oh - no, no reason not to

[pure garnet]

my leadex was 1200w on a single rail

[turbid locust]

Asus bios has always been one of the best imo

[pure garnet]

so presumably the 5090 matrix bios would be fine

[turbid locust]

Newer MSI bios is solid

[hoary hatch]

My x470 bios is shit for fan control

[turbid locust]

[hoary hatch]

How do you pirate a bios bud

[turbid locust]

go DC control with an external potentiometer and manually control

haxor

[hoary hatch]

No

[pure garnet]

yeah this is performance

[hoary hatch]

I have everything (that makes sense) in PWM daisy chain this time

So it should be a lot easier

My x470 board thought 3 identical fans all had different rpm ranges

And it doesn't just let me set arbitrary curves or values

[pure garnet]

i must yet again point out the noctua fan hub

i love how overbuilt it is

[hoary hatch]

Well my x470 system is getting reverted to full iCUE control

[pure garnet]

best $35 i ever spent on something that should cost $10

[hoary hatch]

Also I rate this $63 montech case, with 3 fans included, a solid 3/10

[vestal granite]

if you spend $300 on fans and need a fan hub you better fuckin get this noctua one instead of $10 amazon upcharged aliexpress $2 fan hub

its like spending $3000 on a set of pots n pans and then getting spatulas from dollar general

[edgy laurel]

its clearly overbuilt, but at the same time why is the other one upside down lmao

#marketing

[vestal granite]

noctua is 80% marketing 20% product but by golly does that marketing work on me i love noctua

[leaden dawn]

At least 30% is service

[shell void]

the default windows 8.1 wallpaper has aura

[vestal granite]

thats cool they should re-release windows 8.1 youre right michael

[edgy laurel]

i'm imagining that on my display and I already want to squint

[pure garnet]

it's the rear of both of them

[edgy laurel]

like I got an unvoluntary feeling of squinting

[hoary hatch]

Uhh my Nvidia app is suddenly Korean

[pure garnet]

this is the front of the noctua one

and then it's got a magnetic back plate vs adhesive

[edgy laurel]

ok thats fair

[shell void]

why?

[hoary hatch]

But why

[edgy laurel]

that much yellow will do it

on a 42" canvas right in front of you

[hoary hatch]

What's the good cinebench

[pure garnet]

r23

[edgy laurel]

its so blue

the korean though? i dunno but its on point for an issue you'd discover

[hoary hatch]

Just the advertisement banner is korean

The rest of the UI? English
Region? US, English

@pure garnet rough

So I probably left Intel default on

[civic reef]

Why does my task manager show 2:09:30:06 on uptime 💔

I literally remove the power cord when the PC is turned off wdym it's been up for two days 💔

[hoary hatch]

Oh it's running at 119W max

[pure garnet]

disable fast startup

[hoary hatch]

What's default PL1 lol

Hwinfo says PL1=PL2=4095W

[pure garnet]

should just be 253w

[hoary hatch]

Raptor lake newest bios/Intel ME

Intel default profile or Asus advance OC profile 🤔

[civic reef]

I don't think I have it on
Thanks though, I'll do so next time I boot up

[pure garnet]

in windows not the bios

[formal island]

https://youtu.be/kVptB6HzNDQ

Asus should build pc in robot next

[hoary hatch]

Changed to Asus advanced OC
Now getting....160W max in R23

13700K all cores on but HT off

Guess I can turn HT on

[vagrant cargo]

I like cdawgva stuff he recently did a new live stream and this was from it and just look at what he is using as a monitor behind him and movebable to see his chat like good jesus christ its the ark https://youtu.be/2NqoKQ2tz-U?si=UHXJDA0JSlot1o-R

Also I dont know why how he has his 3 deks monitors sets up postion wise urks me for some reason

Also he has nothing under his keyboard and that keyboard is that wood? Kind of cool

[shell void]

i spent like an hour trying different ways of cropping the image, upscaling it, and balancing sharpness/smoothing/noise

the original image has noise so i didnt want to have it look smoothed

peak has been recovered

this gap in what looks to be a glistening reflection off of the side of the left pyramid is in the source image too unfortunately

i suppose you could connect the white streaks in paint manually but im lazy

[turbid locust]

wth

[hoary hatch]

Ugh

Why does bios make me do fan curves

Why can't I just set a static 700 rpm or something

[edgy laurel]

you can

at least I can

old pic

[turbid locust]

I set everything to a static 30% and go about my day

[cosmic gazelle]

uncs don’t use fan control

[turbid locust]

I used fan control until it consistently broke

after about the 5th reinstall I said fuck it

[cosmic gazelle]

what has been consistently lame for me is openrgb

it will fail on startup like 25% of the time

[edgy laurel]

its not lightweight but i haven't had to touch signal rgb since I first set it up
