[merry stirrup]

serious people only

[pure garnet]

9000 booted

[merry stirrup]

youd think a serious business man would charge his phone idk

[pure garnet]

time to rizz it into stability

[merry stirrup]

oooooh

[pure garnet]

if it’s stable i can never swap these dimms out fr

[shell void]

@steel stream im eating the hot honey flavored kraft rn

[robust herald]

That’s non of your business bro
I’m gonna charge my phone

[merry stirrup]

bro just

drop box the scam

[shell void]

im a bit disappointed, the honey flavor is weak, and there's not a strong pepper flavor either

it's just a bit hot and faintly sweet

[merry stirrup]

yeah and thats not your business bro 💀

[shell void]

i still think jalapeno is the best of the flavored options

[merry stirrup]

not a fan of kraft

[pure garnet]

oh i just

1.55 tx my 265k lmfao

[merry stirrup]

i love that for you

[pure garnet]

we may we orderin anotha

[merry stirrup]

dw i did that for like 4 hours upon first boot

it should realistically be ok

[pure garnet]

why did this cpu just lock in

[merry stirrup]

it saw that bz got 9k

[pure garnet]

9000 just booting now

[merry stirrup]

i thoguht 9000 booted but didnt work i dont remember

also clean your dimms if theyre gross

it really does matter 😭 💀

[pure garnet]

nah this alive more than last time

i wiped them off but they look fine

i don’t touch the pins

[merry stirrup]

contact always gets worse as you slot the sticks in more

but yeah you are probably fine

[pallid marsh]

Wait what

[merry stirrup]

hm?

seeing the minion bios in a yt video doesnt spark joy

idk it looks worse in bz's vid than my own

[pure garnet]

minion bios

i need another kit of h24m

one of my friends wants to game and these need to go back into my daily then

[merry stirrup]

do you not have a 32GB kit as well?

[wraith steeple]

[turbid locust]

nein

[pure garnet]

my profile isn’t for h16a

[merry stirrup]

just adjust it theres like 3 timings

[random flame]

Hmmm...

[uncut owl]

can someone reccomend a good value 2tb ssd?

[brave panther]

sort cheapest to expensive

[uncut owl]

does it really not matter what brand

like samsung vs crucial

[brave panther]

there are no good value ssd's right now, they are double the price

[uncut owl]

i mean yeah

but like for the times

[merry stirrup]

the cheapest one lol

[brave panther]

dont get ssd that uses qlc

[merry stirrup]

cheapest tlc ssd 👍

[brave panther]

thats the only guideline

[merry stirrup]

i like this logic yep works for me

[fervent chasm]

what about dlc

and slc

[shell void]

pre rampocalypse the go-to options were SK-Hynix P41, 990 Pro, WD SN850X, and WD SN8100, but i think all of those have ballooned in price

[uncut owl]

how would i know if its tlc

[brave panther]

mlc are no longer made

[merry stirrup]

google

[shell void]

techpowerup has spec pages for most consumer SSDs

though youll need to double check that the drive isnt known to have several hardware revisions

[cosmic gazelle]

they’re all more expensive obv but 990 pros seem to have gone up less percentage wise than the rest

[edgy laurel]

dammit, i got excited that was 1TB

[merry stirrup]

i actually cant believe bz got 9k and its actually a good setup

[cosmic gazelle]

cheapest cached ssds over 1tb

all smasnug

[merry stirrup]

cache is irrelevant it just has to be tlc

[cosmic gazelle]

cache is still nice for certain games that benefit from it

[edgy laurel]

You still get cache, onboard is an unnecessary expense that serves no purpose for jonny first time gamer

unless you're spending the same or less, no point

dude asking for a drive here couldnt give two fucks about it and would never know the difference

[brave panther]

life could be dream if drivers were avalibile

[steel stream]

oh shit is it good?

[cosmic gazelle]

what even is this 😭

[shell void]

naw it's mid asf

[steel stream]

damn, hot honey mac and cheese sounds like it should be legendary

[shell void]

i was hopeful because ive put a spoon of honey in my jalapeno kraft before because i like spicy sweet things, but it's mediocre asf

[brave panther]

ssd but not nvme standard thus doesent get detected properly in any os other than in netapp controller running ontap

[shell void]

i see no reason for it to exist

[steel stream]

damn, rip

now I want wingstop hothoney

[merry stirrup]

damn thats kinda sad but wonder if it couldend up useful like those bc250s we were talkimng about lol

might be worth to buy one or two now before theyre useful LOL

[brave panther]

no, serve the home thread is dead

[merry stirrup]

augh sad

[cosmic gazelle]

there’s gotta be some goober with enough assembly knowledge to make it work

[brave panther]

anything is possible with enough time and effort

[shell void]

if someone figured it out then the price would go up 5x overnight xD

[brave panther]

yep

[merry stirrup]

what a cute combo

[cosmic gazelle]

i mean you gotta think, be the first person to develop software for it and then install denuvo on every copy of the software

[oak vector]

well that's interesting

[fringe vigil]

chips is that you in pfp

[cosmic gazelle]

kidding btw

[oak vector]

yes obviously

[cosmic gazelle]

yes

[fringe vigil]

https://klipy.com/gifs/game-of-thrones-go-t-60

[oak vector]

_ _

[pure garnet]

@merry stirrup i wiped down the dimms with some 99% alc

[merry stirrup]

good job

it seems irrlevant but its not

[oak vector]

also i just listed my pc for sale - lets see what happens

[pure garnet]

maybe the mlg will do 8k now fr

[merry stirrup]

fr fr

[pure garnet]

9000 did look like it was doable

[merry stirrup]

this is peak performance second pc

[pure garnet]

i just had to play with the voltages some more

[merry stirrup]

what do we think

[pure garnet]

is that the b550-a

[cosmic gazelle]

how loud is that gpu under load lmao

[merry stirrup]

i like this, you should def try to get it going. once i get my secondary rig we can chill with mac in hwbot if you want

[merry stirrup]

yah why

[brave panther]

hmm

[pure garnet]

just looked familar

[brave panther]

goop?

[merry stirrup]

ah

[merry stirrup]

not that loud, its between a 2070 and 2070s in perf btw

its a 2070s core but limited around 120w

[pure garnet]

i did get the funny screenshot though

[merry stirrup]

hey thats pretty good

cl46 you should find a bridge but thats good

[pure garnet]

brother i was just like

46-56-56-56-128 was all i typed in

[merry stirrup]

yeah i see that

[pure garnet]

trying to boot ANYTHING for awhile

[cosmic gazelle]

erm a 2070 super is cheaper though 🤓☝️

[merry stirrup]

yes it is

[pure garnet]

when 8600 didn't post i was ready to throw the whole platform out

[merry stirrup]

im reselling this gpu

[merry stirrup]

LMFAO

[merry stirrup]

going to buy something a little more gamery for my second pc

[cosmic gazelle]

is it like a massive thermal difference to repaste a gpu like that

[merry stirrup]

well its already been repasted idk

i didnt test it non repasted

[pure garnet]

i gotta get an actual setup for the ocf then but i'd be down at some point

[merry stirrup]

im either going to power limit mod it or resell it for a faster secondary gpu

[merry stirrup]

okie

[pure garnet]

i hit 9k on the cardboard box

[merry stirrup]

i had better luck out of case than in a case

[cosmic gazelle]

i have a p620 i stuck in a sff dell system but the damn power supply fan is so loud that the gpu fan is basically inaudible

[merry stirrup]

9133 works out of the y40, in it it doesnt work

[merry stirrup]

well p620s also arent really that loud

ive got 2 of those

[cosmic gazelle]

it’s pretty decent gaming wise (for the price) but the 2gb really holds it back these days

p1000 is so much better in most titles

[merry stirrup]

ewaste pile

[cosmic gazelle]

how does the k perform

[merry stirrup]

its kepler so how do you think

[cosmic gazelle]

shit

[merry stirrup]

but i dont know i have no interest in how these shitty gpus perfom

i dont even use them for 3d

[cosmic gazelle]

i mean they’re great for sff emu systems

[shell void]

i didnt know you had 4 quadros

are these work decomms?

[merry stirrup]

theres 1 more somewhere

[merry stirrup]

yeah i have 6 total

[shell void]

[brave panther]

i should sli together 4x p1000

[merry stirrup]

1 is in moms work computer then i have 5 that float around

[shell void]

ennui collects turing and you collect old quadros

[oak vector]

grr i just listed my pc on fb marketplace why havent i got offers yet /j

[merry stirrup]

auggghhh

[merry stirrup]

yeah basically, i cant wait until another place hires me so i can do more of this lol

[pure garnet]

usps scan floppa’s psu impossible challenge

[brave panther]

i am also a quadro collectionist

[oak vector]

i collect maxwell :3

[merry stirrup]

i could resell them if i care but i dont really want to bother

[shell void]

itll be more fun when ampere cards are being thrown away

[merry stirrup]

wow i can pull maybe 40$ per for one of these

[oak vector]

reminds me - i need to fw my gtx 970 cos she wasn't working

[brave panther]

maybe in 5 years lol

[merry stirrup]

nah my previous place was just about to get rid of ampere

going to hit up my old boss in a little while and see what recycling i can pick up

(he really liked me and told me that i can get whatever theyre going to recycle)

i should end up with an entire xeon gold based VBR

so my storage setup should get a lot cooler

[shell void]

A4000 time? o_O

[cosmic gazelle]

the k basically won’t sell unless someone who doesn’t know anything randomly gets the listing recommended

[merry stirrup]

yeah

[shell void]

basically eco tuned 16GB 3070Tis

actually usable cards

[merry stirrup]

also a5k's there

etc etc, ill end up with amazing stuff if im still allowed to pick stuff up

quite excited

[shell void]

surely they arent gonna recycle A5000s

[merry stirrup]

its age not how good they are

every like 2-4 years they cycle pcs

i can get anything out of warranty

[shell void]

free 24GB 3080s is actually mad

well it has a few more disabled SMs than a 3080 but it's GA102 still

[merry stirrup]

yeah still

a fun mod to do and quite capable secondary cards

[brave panther]

ln2 that mf

[merry stirrup]

although the quadro rtx 4000 is great

it has DLSS and its more than fine for 1080p

it also looks visually amazing esp with this board

[shell void]

dlss 4.5 out here making 720p render res actually look pretty decent

[merry stirrup]

yeah fr

my mom played 4k cod on it lol

only swapped her to the 6650xt cause it has a native hdmi port

and it should still be a little faster so

but yeah i think the quadro 4k is going to get sold here soon? idk its really nice having something thts guaranteed to have good drivers

[shell void]

oh interestingly though it's the same number of ROPs which are more relevant for raster gaming

[merry stirrup]

@wise bear did you still want that

[shell void]

so it's really not much behind a 3080

[merry stirrup]

nah i think i tested it

one of the engineers with an a5k at work was playing helldivers lol

[brave panther]

very productive

[merry stirrup]

truly based, and since i was the it dept at the time i clearly didnt care

nah its in his own time so like

why should i care at all that the work computer is doing things

[merry stirrup]

my errmm hp z2 is also from work idk if you remember that

[brave panther]

well on our pc's you cant install shit yourself if you arent IT

[hoary hatch]

True story

[merry stirrup]

thats how it was on ours, idk how he had steam or h elldivers

[brave panther]

2nd windows drive lol

[merry stirrup]

if i could access my old teams acc id send the picture i sent to my boss

lol

[shell void]

playin off the ol external ssd

[hoary hatch]

Well I have a list of software that is cleared for installation, available from a management app
I have some programs developed for internal use that I have to call IT helpline and get an authentication code to install

[merry stirrup]

yeah kinda what we had to do

[brave panther]

i have software catalog that we maitain in sccm, then you just assign ad group to pc if user requests some application

[merry stirrup]

there was a list, some users had "auto elevate" for requested programs, then anyone who wanted to install anything new had to get it manually approved by external

it was a quite terrible system

i shall sum up my secondary system for chat

[pure garnet]

floppa you have a 265k not kf right

[merry stirrup]

yes

[cosmic gazelle]

don’t you love having to reinstall windows because bitlocker and then you have to troubleshoot why the drive won’t show up and it’s because the one (1) ssd in the system is in raid mode for no justifiable reason

[merry stirrup]

Ryzen 5 5700G
16GB DDR4-4400 C14
Quadro RTX 4000
kyokos bomb that isnt here yet

its purpose is to game while my daily is doing things and to serve as a capture pc for streaming oc

[oak vector]

for win11 iot ltsc, can you game if you just install the ms store and the xbox app?

[merry stirrup]

yes

[oak vector]

[pure garnet]

yeah i daily it

[turbid locust]

I have the KF

[oak vector]

yeah im gonna mess with it in a vm

[pure garnet]

i got closer to 9000 today

[oak vector]

i mean i've had plans to daily it for a while - just havent gotten around to testing it and figuring out the uhh licensing part

[turbid locust]

I’ve had 9K benchable for awhile just not daily

[shell void]

it's windows 11 pro without preinstalled store apps

you get the classic calculator, notepad, etc

[pure garnet]

i probably have the worst chip here then

[oak vector]

yeah i've seen as much - just looks very clean, as i like it

[pure garnet]

i got a pass of 25m but not 1b yet

[oak vector]

[pure garnet]

but i have to put my ram back in my main

[brave panther]

nah i dont have raid on normal pc's, thats stupid
everything gets backed up on one drive or is on smb share

[merry stirrup]

yeah basically

only a couple files on the daily that need to be backed up

[cosmic gazelle]

i’m saying some dell office pcs come with raid on by default in a single drive system

which is completely idiotic

[oak vector]

floppadisk

[brave panther]

well thats idiotic, we use HP's

[merry stirrup]

mhm

[turbid locust]

https://hwbot.org/benchmarks/y-cruncher_-_pi-1b/submissions/5952609?calculate=true&matomoUri=%2F%2Fmatomo.hwbot.org%2F&year=2026 this is straight up just the 9000 H24M profile in the apex

[oak vector]

ssd or hdds?

[merry stirrup]

hdd, 3x4tb

[oak vector]

lets go my vm crashed at 11% installation

im going to nuke my pc

[merry stirrup]

in raid z1 so i can lose one of them

[oak vector]

what drives?

[merry stirrup]

HGST stuff 1 sec let me se e

HGST_HDN724040ALE640

[turbid locust]

new channel list just dropped

[merry stirrup]

so real mac

[merry stirrup]

i think i may take the server offline to setup this ones os

[oak vector]

lmfao

[merry stirrup]

also billy why sell computer?

want better or just no need for one now

[oak vector]

want better

[merry stirrup]

ah ok

[oak vector]

lowkey planning to buy smth stupid but we'll see lmao

[merry stirrup]

good

[oak vector]

(well, buy it and most likeley gut it for the good parts or turn it into a sleeper)

[oak vector]

i9 14900k dell precision

err rtx 4070
and 64gb ddr5

[merry stirrup]

not bad mem might be hynix

if its cheap enough moving the stuff to a normal board and cooler would be epic

if mem is hynix youre bing chilling for literally your entire duration on ddr5

[oak vector]

its for 2100 aud
so I'll only be out of pocket maybe 600-700 bucks

[merry stirrup]

yeah

[turbid locust]

z790 can be had for cheap too

[cosmic gazelle]

didn’t we establish you werent buying this because you’d be getting 14700k performance dawg

[merry stirrup]

just swap the board lol

[oak vector]

^

[merry stirrup]

id rather have a used 14900k from a dell pc

than any other used pc on the market

[cosmic gazelle]

do precision cases have atx mounting holes

[turbid locust]

other than mine

[cosmic gazelle]

or would he need a new case and power supply

[merry stirrup]

this is true

[pure garnet]

the floppa mac love triangle

[turbid locust]

I wish I kept the $160 14600K

[merry stirrup]

<3

i also do cause i coulda hit an insane lowball

[oak vector]

floppa i have a theory
this shits brand new i think
cos the original spec is listed with an a6000 i believe
so they've legit just licked the gpu and got another one in lmfao

[merry stirrup]

oh lmfao

is it in warranty? see if you can get the og receipt

[oak vector]

until mid 2027 LOL

[merry stirrup]

if so you just have a new computer then lol

[steel stream]

bro wheres #virtual-reality

[oak vector]

lowkey i've always wanted a plain office pc as my main

[turbid locust]

Hot take I still view that entire hobby as a gimmick

[merry stirrup]

it is

the games still look terrible i dont understand how people arent bothered by that

alyx is the only one ive seen so far and went "yeah thats a video game and not roblox"

[oak vector]

i mean i'll probably take the good shit out and put it in a new case, mobo, psu whatever, but if i could keep the dell case i will

[steel stream]

it can be pretty fun, but yeah it's gimmicky

[merry stirrup]

like bro cmon

[turbid locust]

I just don’t get how the whole “haha you move your head to look around” is like the main thing

like that’s it

[merry stirrup]

i know its very hard to run and thats the only reason the games look bad but still man

[steel stream]

it's just immersive

[merry stirrup]

i like this im chill with it

the games end up looking poor which to me just breaks my immersion

although vr racing im sure slaps

[steel stream]

if done well, seeing some giant monster near you is neat

[merry stirrup]

shit like tetris effect is also probably great

[steel stream]

yeah GT7 in vr is sweet

[turbid locust]

this and flight sims are like the only actual use I see for it

[merry stirrup]

(love tetris)

[turbid locust]

anything else is pure gimmick

[steel stream]

superhot is still my favorite VR game

[merry stirrup]

i am shutting down floppa serve to play with my am4 computer

kyokos superflower got stolen by USPS

[steel stream]

i gotta go back to HW and basketball

Mac where is your mobo

is it still in philly

[turbid locust]

Speaking of which my Gene finally moved lmao

[merry stirrup]

oh lit

kyoko dropped off the unit yesterday and they still havent scanned it in

[turbid locust]

It was in limbo for like 3-4 days which tbh I don’t blame em cause weather

[oak vector]

lowkey i kinda love it

[merry stirrup]

it looks good but modify it yeah

im pretty srue you can use your own mobos in those dont quote me on that tho

[oak vector]

i just love the modern office aesthetic idk why

[merry stirrup]

ok maybe not

lol def not actually but

[oak vector]

i'll make it happen dw king

[merry stirrup]

maybe a micro atx and then just forget the front io

[random flame]

It's very good, though in VR... I guess it depends?
Turn down some of the details, and it should be a great viewing experience.
The catch though is the immersion will be using the theatre screen by default as it's not actually being immersed into the game world itself to view it.

Btw, hoi Billy.

[merry stirrup]

man the hp computers of this gen we had were much better

[brave panther]

Nothing is standard lol

[merry stirrup]

im just sayin, this thing looks like butt

[oak vector]

that's what i was gonna do ngl
but maybe get one of those front io boards or whatever they are

[oak vector]

hii ❤️

[merry stirrup]

ah i see

[oak vector]

i got a drill
and spare standoffs somewhere
i'll make it happen

tho psu could be interesting

[shell void]

RAHHHH PHANTEKS

[oak vector]

@merry stirrup think my theory could've been right

[steel stream]

I personally have been doordashing for the past few days with 5% tip

[turbid locust]

same

[steel stream]

I specifically order food whenever the snow is about to come down the hardest

[merry stirrup]

ancient case

from a 2017 cyberpower prebuilt

[shell void]

im a fan of 2010s phanteks cases

i cant recognize that one from just the interior tooling

[shell void]

though moreso 2010-2015 era rather than leading up to 2020

[merry stirrup]

i think its a p400

it is a p400

[oak vector]

https://tenor.com/view/opel-omega-drift-estonia-snow-gif-10100930

holden commodore my beloved

[fervent chasm]

guys its looking good

[brisk jolt]

i need to head down to rma my board/cpu or whatever but im lazy af

ugh

[fervent chasm]

Someone I know has been wanting me to join as a Network Engineer in his department, and hes been trying to hook me up with a job
I really hope I get this

[merry stirrup]

idk if this 5700g can install wiindows on stock settings

i forgot i dont think it can

[low sorrel]

@merry stirrup TELL ME WHY IN GODS name do your guns start on semi

[merry stirrup]

ask the people who made pubg the same thing

[pallid marsh]

Maybe it's because safe > semi> full auto

[low sorrel]

ok explain this then @merry stirrup

[pallid marsh]

Dude your fps it looks so stuttery and aids

[pallid marsh]

Also don't use bird shot

[merry stirrup]

1. why are you shooting the BTR
2. they were in the btr you shouldnt have been able to see them

[low sorrel]

Because they are outside the btr

[merry stirrup]

also they changed suppressors a lot

[pallid marsh]

Polished game

[merry stirrup]

its not worth killing one guy just to then get shot by the btr gunner bro

[low sorrel]

I'm a scav

That just spawned in

[merry stirrup]

so its worth throwing the raid B)

🙄

[low sorrel]

Well he clearly didnt shoot me

Also in my defense I didn't shoot until my friend said to

[merry stirrup]

they used to be like you could only hear them up to 100m away then they were silent

now its like idk 300 or something, so not really applicable anymore

[topaz veldt]

bro grinds though - I think its a 3060 and 4K

[merry stirrup]

yeah

[topaz veldt]

like Jerry gets his fuggin moneys worth

[pallid marsh]

It is

[steel stream]

dlss putting in the work

[merry stirrup]

yeah i think he plays perf or balanced

[steel stream]

jerry the 🐐 I couldn't even play at 4K with a 4070

[merry stirrup]

king of low standards 🔥

[steel stream]

just wait till he gets a capable GPU and runs a game at dlss quality like cyberpunk

[topaz veldt]

welp just lost like 5 BPs, a Ven IV, a il toro IV, and like $70k of loot due to server crash

[brisk jolt]

performance

maybe with 4.5 he’s on UP

[brisk jolt]

set a gofundme for jerry and let him turbocharge his rig

[merry stirrup]

tarkov no have

[hoary hatch]

Well audio stopped working on this desktop for some reason

Thank you windows, very cool

Or maybe thank you LG C9

It was the tv

[turbid locust]

@merry stirrup whatchu up to

[merry stirrup]

finishing my am4 then i think im going to get food then video game

[pallid marsh]

What food

[turbid locust]

ah

[harsh sail]

You’re building a pc now? Cool

[turbid locust]

was gonna see about a hwbot funny sesh

[merry stirrup]

a second pc

[brisk jolt]

i read this and my stomach started telling me im starving

[merry stirrup]

same bro i havent had anything

[brisk jolt]

i should go get something to eat while im here getting my shit checked

i think theres a good ramen store here

[turbid locust]

@merry stirrup how ethical would it be to try to RMA my really bad H16M and hope for something better in return lol

[brisk jolt]

very ethical at a cost of perhaps like 3 weeks

[merry stirrup]

imo fair game

[turbid locust]

I mean theres nothing wrong with it tho

[merry stirrup]

its shit

[turbid locust]

like what are the odds they just send it back like "bruh"

I dont think I have the box for em anymore either

[merry stirrup]

sad

[turbid locust]

Think I just keep em as a dedicated Zen 4+5 gear 1 cope kit

I need to figure out how to write XMPs on kits though

swear someone said you could on z890 but

[pure garnet]

@turbid locust

[pure garnet]

you 100% can on the ocf so i'd assuem you could on the apex

[turbid locust]

but is it actually writing to the SPD or is it just saving a profile for that kit on the board

[pure garnet]

it said spd profile 4-5 in asrock bios

[brisk jolt]

im currently looking at the store people trying what i tried LOLOLOL

[turbid locust]

peak btw

[turbid locust]

Hmm I’ll look into it

[oak vector]

[pure garnet]

i had to put my ocf away for now

[turbid locust]

Rip

[pure garnet]

judging by how my chip performed post mem reseat i can either do 8800 or 8600 daily stable

but if im dropping to 8600 then i'd rather just do that on am5

[merry stirrup]

4giggle bute

[pure garnet]

usps gonna make me crash out man

[oak vector]

😋

[pure garnet]

can they just scan this psu

even the time i ordered the label is wrong

i bought ennui's and floppas at the SAME TIME

[turbid locust]

there’s like 3 chips doing 8600 on AM5

Well non apu

8600 is the gear 2 equivalent of 6600 gear 1

[young void]

Speeeedd

[brisk jolt]

just got my shit done, doa mobo lmfao

[cosmic gazelle]

now overclock it to 5ghz all core immediately

Does anyone know what’s happening?

I typed in my password, wrong so I went to reset it. Tested it by logging back in my Microsoft account again. The new password doesn’t work. I’ve done this process about 5 times even restarting

[edgy laurel]

give it 10 minutes and try again

[coarse urchin]

I did I gave it about 50 min bc I had a tutoring session so I waited until the end to try again

Didn’t work so I changed it again

[edgy laurel]

seems there are plenty of options to try on google, you're not the first person to get that exact error

(rarely is that the case anyway so my first suggestion whenver encountering something like this is read everything possible from those that have encountered it before)

[cosmic gazelle]

@merry stirrup do you want 2x16 g skill 3600 rgb sticks that i fried by pulling out before switching psu off

you can have em for what they cost to ship if you want the heat spreaders or something

[merry stirrup]

how do you know theyre fried?

[devout ridge]

for anyone who was curious what the inside of an IOM6 module looks like

[merry stirrup]

ive done that more than i need to admit but none of my dimms have died

[cosmic gazelle]

they stopped working

[merry stirrup]

like they arent detected by any pc?

[cosmic gazelle]

yeah

[merry stirrup]

i see

[devout ridge]

one screw and some nubbins are the only standoffs holding the board in place

[merry stirrup]

no use for them personally its ok

[cosmic gazelle]

i just don’t know what to do with em lmao

they’re just sitting there

[merry stirrup]

idk try to see if you can fix them somehow but i wouldnt really know

[cosmic gazelle]

i don’t have any soldering equipment lll

[cosmic gazelle]

is there a way to ensure the ICs on a memory kit before buying it if it has heat spreaders btw

[devout ridge]

if someone with the same kit and rev has opened it up before, yes

often times many revisions use the same ICs, but it’s hard to say without having manually checked

rarely if ever do they advertise what dies they use

[merry stirrup]

no

you can but you cant

theres some bins that are simply just mystery meat

[fickle yacht]

i put a question in tech chat 1 if anyone thinks they can help

[merry stirrup]

if you can see the version number on corsair kits or some gskill kits you can tell

but not just by speed/timings usually

things like bdie are pretty telltale tho

[devout ridge]

unspeakable things were done to this poor ubiquiti ethernet cable

[coarse urchin]

Tried everything that is useful

Safe mode to check my account (couldn’t even get past lock screen)

Using command prompt with cxh, netplwiz and OO(something) (all these commands didn’t exist)

Uninstalling a quality update since this happened after I saw some update installing automatically

Idk how long I should wait. If it’s not fixed by a certain amount of days ima just factory reset. Just coming back to you to see if you have any idea

[cosmic gazelle]

@merry stirrup if i buy shitty ram to learn how to oc can i just blast it with voltage and make it go fast or is there a limit that more voltage won’t improve generally

[pure garnet]

voltage range is per ic

[merry stirrup]

what shawty said

[cosmic gazelle]

is it worth buying hynix AFR crap on a stick just to learn on

[pure garnet]

that’s a question for the flop

[merry stirrup]

buy DJR
micron rev.e 8gbit
micron rev.b 16bit
samsung 8gbit bdie
nanya 8gbit bdie
CJR is fine but dies with voltage long term

samsung 8gbit e die is good

[frank zealot]

Flopp:

[merry stirrup]

love it

[oak vector]

just ran the math
if i can sell my main rig
I'll pay 1200 bucks (AUD) to go from an r5 5600 and a 4060ti 8gb (16gb ddr4) to a 14900k and 5070ti - 64gb ddr5 (assuming i sell the 4070 to buy the 5070ti)
alternatively if i keep the 4070, I'll only be 500-600 bucks out of pocket.....

now if i can sell my pc i'll be happy lmao.

corsair is easy to tell what ic it is

oh okay well that’s what ebay is flooded with

old ubiquiti logo better

the new lame

[cosmic gazelle]

found 16gb of samsung d die for 50 bucks but idk if that’s bad

sorry for all the noob questions lol

[pure garnet]

do not buy the flare in the us though

you will get tariffed

[cosmic gazelle]

Chatgpt says d die is good for oc

but obviously maybe not reliable info

https://ebay.us/m/myrrtr

[south shuttle]

chatgpt can’t do elementary math consistently what do we expect

[cosmic gazelle]

i’m aware lll

[merry stirrup]

what d die

[south shuttle]

i think the biggest crime is gemini

[merry stirrup]

oh idk never used it

just buy one of the ones i sent/ listed off

if you can find ballistix sticks you wont have a bad time on those

[cosmic gazelle]

the g skill kit i fried is hynix JJR based on your chart

[cosmic gazelle]

i found many people online saying samsung d die can be one of the better ICs

[south shuttle]

also beware, not all 6000mt/s medium cl (36 and lower) kit are hynix

[merry stirrup]

seems bad to me

[south shuttle]

there is micron D and samsung

[merry stirrup]

d4

[south shuttle]

i’m a d5 only guy

[merry stirrup]

i would just buy bdie

if you dont really care then really anything is fine

[south shuttle]

what the hell is nanya

[merry stirrup]

that stuff is as good as bdie lol

[cosmic gazelle]

this is funny lol

[merry stirrup]

lol

cjr does high freq

same w/djr

bdie is just the actual fastest d4 ic

djr is the freq holder i think for d4

if not its rev.n which is unicorn

[cosmic gazelle]

my goal is kind of to buy the cheapest thing i could get my hands on and learn how to do the stuff first, so that later i can do it on my high end components i actually care about

[merry stirrup]

then buy whatever it doesnt matter

you can get funny screenshots like this tho <3

[cosmic gazelle]

and also i have a weird obsession with trying to optimize igpu performance and a 3200g seems like a great candidate for that considering it has an unlocked igpu lol

[merry stirrup]

going to play with my 1400 here soon but i want to mess with my micron sticks

[cosmic gazelle]

is fclk uclk always the same as mclk on am4 or is that just a coincidence

[merry stirrup]

you have to manually set it

just doin a verification run

[pure garnet]

[south shuttle]

[low sorrel]

@merry stirrup wtf?

[oak vector]

@merry stirrup lmao i already got a message about the pc im selling lmfao

[merry stirrup]

lowballed?

[oak vector]

negotiating now lmao
I bought the pc for 1700 early last year
I've asked him if he'd do 1600 if i include the samsung 2tb ssd (which here is like maybe 250 bucks)

yeah nvm he didn't take it
tried taking it a bit lower but he ended up asking for 1k plus the 2tb ssd

which for reference that's what my pc is worth here rn without the extra ssd 😭

[brisk jolt]

anyways i got the ARL system up

[brisk jolt]

idk one of the pathings

it was damaged

straight up gave me a new board

[topaz veldt]

[brisk jolt]

yes

im pretty sure it came like that- damage was covered by the backmount and I 1 shot mounted that one

[topaz veldt]

ID-COOLING IS-67-XT

[brisk jolt]

yeah thats a way bigger heatsink

[topaz veldt]

yep - it fit in my terra

[brisk jolt]

using this 5070ti I realise how power hungry the 5090 is on idle

[topaz veldt]

That was the only way I could get reasonable temps on 265k in there

[brisk jolt]

I could get the most out of it if I got a 240mm AIO but imho thats no fun

[topaz veldt]

It was nice going to a real cooler in the NCase M3

[brisk jolt]

Im playing with the 5070Ti’s OC rn

But yeah the 265K gets hella toasty

[strange ginkgo]

AIO are not fun in general
custom loops are

[topaz veldt]

yeah you should see the 265k in BF6

[brisk jolt]

For some reason Im only reading like 265w on the 5070ti

[topaz veldt]

but I am going to get one

is it ok to ask about phones here

[livid flame]

We like phones

[lyric cipher]

[livid flame]

Is it a Nokia 3310?

[lyric cipher]

so even though my S20 is running perfectly fine I am aware that I'm not getting anymore security updates and I should at least be on the lookout for new phones just in case. the problem is that it looks like EVERY phone has AI integration. are there any flagships at all which don't have AI?

[livid flame]

That’s a question for Google

[lapis bane]

are pre builts better than customs right now due to ram prices

[lyric cipher]

i came here to see if anyone has recs because Google basically said stick with old phones or get fucked

[livid flame]

To be expected

[edgy laurel]

what does "have AI" even mean. If I have ChatGPT integration with Siri turned off, do I 'have AI"?

[livid flame]

Well Google sounds like it gave you the best advice

[livid flame]

It means announced insertion. I always announce my insertion personally. Don’t think my phone needs to do it

[shell void]

[edgy laurel]

this sounds dirty

i guess something that doesn't have hardware-level AI integration

[livid flame]

That’s a no. Technology moves on.

[hollow temple]

I should turn PBO on my 9800x3D

Might make YouTube less Stuttery

Sounds like you need to turn on hardware acceleration from the gpu

[edgy laurel]

this seems like a losing battle. just turn it off/don't use it, its quite simple

The Alienware Aurora 16 is tempting me

Yes, 1.75K USD for a 5050 / Core 7 240H, but the screen is tempting

Ohhh he’s the 4K one

[oak vector]

I could be wrong on the 4K part

[edgy laurel]

dlss performance/ultra performance at all times

[livid flame]

I know someone 3060 4ks in here

[edgy laurel]

he is at 4K, yes

[oak vector]

Ngl most of my games I can run maxed out with sometimes no or only a touch of dlss
But I wouldn’t do 4K that’s for sure

[manic sigil]

Because there isn't that much to say

Basically you pay 20 bucks more you get 20 bucks more perf. Most nothing burger refresh of all time.

it's the same chip

it could’ve been interesting if they binned the half that actually changes performance

[turbid locust]

I mean it’s exactly what I expected lol

[topaz veldt]

are you still getting one

[turbid locust]

of course the number is higher

[topaz veldt]

lol

i was thinking.. .maybe just 9950X3D

[turbid locust]

9800X3D + 5090 is cope. 9850X3D + 5090 is fastest gaming pc.

[turbid locust]

Honestly the thought did come across my mind

[pure garnet]

you better daily eclk 6.2ghz

and blow it up like god intended

[turbid locust]

Cause the 9950X3D is what… $100 more?

I haven’t had a big AM5 chip yet

[pure garnet]

at $100 i’d take the cooler task manager ngl

[turbid locust]

$679 retail actually

If I got one and it couldn’t do 6400 I might freak out though

lifechanging 50MHz uplift

[velvet lynx]

why is 10th gen intel still the same price as like 5 years ago

[turbid locust]

ok for the 9950X3D I could either pay $688 and have it in 5-7 business days on Newegg, or pay $714 on Amazon and have it tomorrow…

[pure garnet]

best buy?

[turbid locust]

10900K specifically because it’s the best in socket and higher core count than the 11900k

[velvet lynx]

Specifically the 10700

[turbid locust]

Straight up $700 before tax and I’d have to wait till Monday to pick it up

[turbid locust]

But if I buy it from Newegg I’m only getting 2% cashback vs Amazon 5%. Someone math this out

[pure garnet]

13.76, 35.70 cashback

[turbid locust]

so Amazon is $4 more total after cashback

that answers that question

[pure garnet]

yeah

[turbid locust]

but do I even want to spend that much

9850X3D after tax and cashback on Amazon will be like… $504

vs $678

id rather wait and not spent an extra 30 bucks

yes you need chipset drivers, and xbox gamebar installed in order for the automatic scheduling to work correctly

otherwise programs will often grab the higher clocked vanilla cores instead

you can do a permanent dumb fix by underclocking the vanilla cores so that they’re deprioritized

Need to put it in a system and stress the IMC 😀

[turbid locust]

I mean I usually have both installed anyway but atp it’s a question of do I even need more than 8 cores. I mean my 14900k sees a 3d printing slicer and Valorant 99.999% of its life lmao

[brisk jolt]

im waiting for the full CU of my lp cooler to arrive as well as a replacement fan for the stock one, plus the thermalright fans for exhaust

[south shuttle]

i don’t want to feed obesity to customers

[arctic bronze]

ah I see, iv never had to use one so i was unaware of a temp agency

[south shuttle]

and diabetes from diet coke

i’d rather become full time scalper than sell junk food

[pure garnet]

so go to walmart then

[south shuttle]

you can also employ yourself

part time

[pure garnet]

that requires having a marketable skill

[shell void]

mcdonald’s app is vibe coded

[south shuttle]

buy random stuff at real discounts and sell

[brisk jolt]

I think at best with a full CU, better fans im at best getting another 10w before throttling

[pure garnet]

that app has never worked

it makes my a17 pro look like the original iphone

[arctic bronze]

hmmm, yes

[shell void]

i just ordered on it today and it was fine aside from that mistaken image

[pure garnet]

it works for me but it’s always like

really slow

the cfa app mogs it in comparison

[shell void]

i don’t have cfa near me so idk

[pure garnet]

i got 5 in a 20 minute radius

[brisk jolt]

@pure garnet shouldve seen how my 1 valorant match went in a 1 off 5 stack for the night

[turbid locust]

I guess the question is if I want 8 cores for $175

[brisk jolt]

grow bigger testicles and just bomb it on a 9950x3d

[wraith steeple]

[turbid locust]

ok but if I don’t get an 9850X3D and find out they have binned IMCs I will go ape shit

[pure garnet]

they don’t

[south shuttle]

if you do 1 v 5 in rainbow six siege with a montagne you earn my respecc

[pure garnet]

dom with his pre sample did all his subs at 8000-8100

[turbid locust]

Because I think I’m about 1 big return away from Amazon nuking my shit lmao

[shell void]

brotha the cores aren’t even binned xD all the reviews i’ve seen show differing quality

[turbid locust]

W lmao

[south shuttle]

it’s not worth binning them all that much

[pure garnet]

honestly either way you’re gonna install it and get despair then daily 6000-6400 so

[turbid locust]

I deadass haven’t had any AM5 cpu with more than 8 cores though

[shell void]

LTT got a good sample, and gamers nexus’ 9850X3D barely does 50MHz more allcore than their 9800X3D while slamming into power limits

[brisk jolt]

never doubt amd to have shit qc

[pure garnet]

amd sending gn the crappy one is based

[shell void]

it’s just a 9800x3d with per core oc

[south shuttle]

remember you’re running above spec when overclocking

that’s not crappy qc

[turbid locust]

ok but if I buy a 9800X3D instead I’ll be called a coper

[south shuttle]

just unaccomplished expectations

[pure garnet]

bro im running my 9800x3d at 5.2

just buy a chip and daily it

[shell void]

well you might as well get the shiny new one but don’t expect better memory controllers

[turbid locust]

I don’t

[brisk jolt]

just run it at 5.4 boom 9825x3d

you’re halfway there brother

[turbid locust]

the question isn’t 9800X3D or 9850X3D, it’s 9850X3D or 9950X3D

[shell void]

have u ever had a 2 ccd ryzen

[turbid locust]

No

[shell void]

i think that’s more fun then

[brisk jolt]

I give you one better, I abused a very fun gun named “odin”

[pure garnet]

i need apex guy to accept my lowball so i can play with gear 2

[turbid locust]

but if I buy flagship cpu and it’s still trash IMC I will quit

[turbid locust]

again you own an MPower

[pure garnet]

that system is literally in pieces

[turbid locust]

There’s nothing you’re doing on an apex that wouldn’t require a pre binned gear 2 chip

[pure garnet]

also the mpower cut my finger so it’s bad

[turbid locust]

I benched 8300 with my 9600x on the mpower boss

It boots 8400 without touching terms

[pure garnet]

so did my mlg

[shell void]

WE all need X870E DARK Hero

[pure garnet]

i want the apex to daily a g2 tune but if he doesn’t take my offer i’ll just run 6400

[turbid locust]

gene is in my city

[turbid locust]

This is less cope than Apex I’m not even gonna lie

Nitropath gets you 99% of the way there

[turbid locust]

I think you just get over yourself and daily gear 2 on the mlg

[pure garnet]

the mlg pcb is not doing gear 2

[turbid locust]

Passed 8000 it’s diminishing returns anyways

[pure garnet]

the longest 8000 run it’s done is like 7 minutes karhu

[shell void]

yeah it’s a cooler board because you can do dual cpu nvme and it has 10Gb

[turbid locust]

swag

[turbid locust]

Ok then buy another mpower lmao

[pure garnet]

nah

[turbid locust]

I mean I can’t clown you too hard I literally bought a gene

[pure garnet]

i offered 375 on an apex

that’s half the dark hero

so if he rejects that i’ll just vibe with 6400 till something else comes along

[south shuttle]

vibe with 6400

[shell void]

vibe with 4800

[pure garnet]

❌

[slim pebble]

Do we really bully people here that bad over hardware? 😂

[brisk jolt]

yes

mac the longer you go on between ur 3rd 9800x3d, a 9850x3d or a 9950x3d and rambling about binning (we all know amd qc sucks) the more aura you lose

i say let ur pet decide

[shell void]

i thank God that i was gifted with a Godly sample on day one in November 2024

i got my cheddar and have been watching the other rats race

[pure garnet]

both of my 9800x3d’s did 6400 which is cool

[wraith steeple]

I got mine a month later

[frank zealot]

I wanna know what drunk came up with this list layout

[topaz veldt]

are you sure its not the combo? I have B850-I Strix (mITX) and it would not reliably do 8000 CL40 on memory rated 8000 CL40. I swapped my RAM to 6000 CL26 2x24GB, and now its doing 8000 CL36 without a sweat

[pure garnet]

i haven't swapped the board but i can see the traces for mem on the pcb

it's a budget b850 with nothing going for it beyond the paint

[livid flame]

I thought 1.0 was 85…

[topaz veldt]

Ha I passed someones "I have a tempest blueprint" test

[frank zealot]

that's the least problematic part of this list

[round stirrup]

Q: can I use my motherboard raid function to mirror an SSD to a spinning disk and if so, will its performance be limited to the weakest link or will it write to the SSD and mirror over? (looking to have a failsafe for a SSD thats getting up there in years so I can start a fresh win10 install for those stubborn games that won't run in proton)

[heavy mantle]

why is the win 2000 bis have the vista/7 logo

[turbid locust]

Yeah it’s an ongoing thing but all in good fun lol

[turbid locust]

See the day 1 bin is a method

[turbid locust]

I mean not really

[wraith steeple]

Watching reviews

[edgy laurel]

try not to fall asleep

[wraith steeple]

Yeah honestly this gen in general is a snoozefest

[topaz veldt]

Reviews: Bad
My inner voice: Good
My other inner voice: Buy a 9950X3D

[turbid locust]

Real

[livid flame]

I mean you got the best gaming and one of the best productivity CPUs and they’re laying the groundwork to be clearly ahead for the next gen. That’s not really a snooze fest

[turbid locust]

But day 1 bin cope

[round stirrup]

gl with buyin anything, after the crucial/ram news, my local store sold out of everything but ARC cards and 5050's..

[livid flame]

I mean what else is going to excite you in a cpu? Does it have to come with 3d vcache and built in 32gb ddr5 ram!?

[gentle gale]

yes

[livid flame]

Don’t

[wraith steeple]

Lost me at 3d cache
