There's no DIMM cooling at all lol

[merry stirrup]

cas twins ;)

[topaz veldt]

in fact I am rear intake so I pump heat over the DIMMs

[brisk jolt]

yes it is

[devout ridge]

what color

[brisk jolt]

so far its looking like this starving for china shipments to arrive

[devout ridge]

no case fans but ram OC'ing?

[brisk jolt]

My fans are still out at sea

[pure garnet]

@merry stirrup i get to try for 9000 again tommorow

[topaz veldt]

what have you successfully run so far

[pure garnet]

i've only done 8000 daily on that board, i pull it out to bench on it now

[merry stirrup]

okie

[burnt socket]

i cant even run past 6400 without crashing

lucky you

[merry stirrup]

you have shitzen

my bad ryzen

[burnt socket]

zen 5

they better do smth about the imc for zen 6

[topaz veldt]

they won't

X3D removes their need

[green marsh]

only reason i would bother with DDR5-8000 would be for LLMs, but LLMs ain't worth the money to spend on 😄

[slim pebble]

It allows them to leave the IMC one generation and process node behind basically.

[slim pebble]

I thought for an LLM you want dual rank and capacity.

[topaz veldt]

And its not like they have anyone to compete against

[green marsh]

you want capacity (to even load models), then memory bandwidth (so it runs faster)

[pure garnet]

why would i be running an llm in system ram anyway

the better question is why would i be running an llm in the first place but either way gpu is right there

[green marsh]

ah yes, because we all have GPU farms which do have 64GB+ of VRAM

[slim pebble]

You can offload some of the model to system memory, so you can run a bigger model or quantization with only 32GB VRAM

[topaz veldt]

but even the lamest DDR5 is fast

[pure garnet]

yeah but i could also entertain myself without typing questions into a chatbot like curious george

[topaz veldt]

that's a very narrow use case

[green marsh]

the 128GB LPDDR5X framework motherboard tho

[green marsh]

i mostly use LLMs as a 'stackoverlow without all the dumb people not answering the question, but hating on the person' 😄

i am not going to ask LLMs trivia questions LOL

[slim pebble]

Good for simple coding tasks

[green marsh]

my best use cases were for explaining weird errors in languages i do not use that often

[slim pebble]

Good for string and text processing, basic first year coding stuff you really CBA to spend time on anymore.

[oak vector]

interesting fb marketplce lapping on a 9700k

[green marsh]

does more than first year coding stuff, but everyone has their opinion

[merry stirrup]

its delidded too

[oak vector]

remember
scratching a cross hatch pattern into the cpu die increases surface area meaning the cpu die becomes easier to cool

[pallid marsh]

smh all that work on a non hyper threaded cpu

[oak vector]

debatably, the job could've been done a bit better too 😭

[elder cairn]

OK, so hands up, I am a visually impaired person who makes a lot of use of accessibility stuff on different pieces of tech and always looks out for the best features.

Remember all of those jokes that everyone was making about iPadOS and iOS 26? About it being like Windows Vista?

Yeah, well for me and others in my community, those jokes were basically a for telling of the future. It is so much less pleasant to use now.

Like I and many others, have the text size set up to max, guess what happens when you do that? Certain menus don’t respond or scroll properly because they didn’t adjust the touch targets appropriately and that’s just one of many issues.

Seriously, considering going back to windows or looking at a Samsung tablet. Because this is so getting on my nerves.

although in general, I do get pissed that the accessibility features really get the short shift in OS updates, always feels like someone buggers something up.

Except maybe Samsung, they are normally pretty on the ball about this stuff for the most part.

[reef lance]

Is it time to watercool ram again?

[civic reef]

Email them
It's probably useless, but with enough outward emails from enough persons, someone will probably take notice

[livid flame]

[leaden dawn]

You did indeed put hoppers on the top of a furnace. And probably the bottom

[livid flame]

It’s okay. One day we will be able to give people new eyes that work. Until then, ya right mate, it’s a bit shit

[civic reef]

It's basic automation as in I don't need to put every type of item I want to smelt manually

Nor do I have to collect them manually

[leaden dawn]

So there's an auto input for fuel too?

[civic reef]

Planning to extend this system down into my storage area (which you can see in progress on the left)

[civic reef]

Not yet

[livid flame]

Stack that fuel

[civic reef]

Coal automation will happen soon

But I'll need more iron

I only have 60 rn total

[livid flame]

60?

That’s loads

That’s like 6 iron blocks and change left over

[civic reef]

I still have tools to craft

Currently using stone to conserve

[livid flame]

I wonder when Minecraft will let us craft steel

Oh wait it’s happened already

I should pay more attention when my kid plays

[civic reef]

Steel?

None

Just normal iron

Oh just reminded me

I need to place lightning rods around

[livid flame]

Apparently there’s only a mod for it

But would be a good addition between iron and diamond

Would make flint and steel make more sense too

[cosmic gazelle]

dude people on marketplace are literally on crack

like this is literally more than the bundle actually costs to go buy new what are we doing 😭😭

[livid flame]

Used very lightly

Always wonder what that means on a motherboard

[civic reef]

I haven't gone far enough through the education system (yet) to know if it'd work or not, but.. Would an alloy made of steel & iron work?

Most of the durability of steel, and not as expensive

Would make armour crafting easier

Stronger than iron armour, not as much as full steel armour

[livid flame]

Does that mean the motherboard only had a 500g heatsink on it?

[civic reef]

I should probably add the Sodium mod to my world (Performance mod)

[cosmic gazelle]

LIKE WHAT ARE WE SMOKINGGGGG

[civic reef]

How much should an R9 3900 realistically cost

[vivid kiln]

Any fun suggestions on what I could use old hardware for before I just go and sell it? Already have a Shield for home theater PC, already have a NAS, etc.

[cosmic gazelle]

Off marketplace for local pickup, $120

[vivid kiln]

These parts have sat in boxes in my closet for years now

[cosmic gazelle]

installing the lightest os you can on it and forcing it to run shit it shouldn’t be running

it’s fun

[turbid locust]

@topaz veldt I think Amazon is gaslighting me

9850X3D still says today but it’s not “out for delivery” yet so

[brisk jolt]

it indeed was a heat issue

[turbid locust]

[cosmic gazelle]

i don’t even know what this is but i kinda want it

[brisk jolt]

the entire case is warm

the top and sides are hot

[civic reef]

Huh, that's interesting

[cosmic gazelle]

zen 2 has really pretty terrible IPC these days

[warm urchin]

And yet it’ll remain relevant as long as the ps5 is around lmao

Oh electricity just came on

I should finish my English hw so I have time to use le PC

[cosmic gazelle]

nah dude 4790k is goated

[civic reef]

@frank zealot

Okay, tbh, I might just actually do the B450M & R5 1400 buy

It allows me to start buying upgrades on it that won't just sit around in a box till I can use them (5600x, decent-ish RAM, etc)

Plus, PCIe 3.0 isn't too bad for what I use

[cosmic gazelle]

ngl big dawg the 1400 is probably slower than the 4790k 😭 but i get wanting an upgrade path

[civic reef]

Night & day compared to my no-name SATA, and I don't think 3.0x16 is slow enough to hinder performance to any significant degree beyond like 1-5 FPS at best

[civic reef]

A 5600x is $88 new, it's what I want to buy after

Also, not using a 4790K

[cosmic gazelle]

oh

not using the most goated cpu of all time

shame on you

[civic reef]

4770, locked, on a 2+2 phase board

[civic reef]

It's what was available

4770 & 2x8gb of 1600, $40

Overpriced tbh but nothing cheaper

Previous was overpressure damaged 4460 & 1x8GB of 1600

[cosmic gazelle]

sheesh

[edgy laurel]

4790k (4690k in my case) was great in 2014, trash today

[fringe vigil]

Just curious what are you posing for in your pfp

You look like your modelling or shooting a movie

[cosmic gazelle]

nah dude 5ghz with some like 2000mts ram that thing still sings

[shell void]

it's not going to be a fun time in newer games, but it's better than a ryzen 5 1400 for sure

[cosmic gazelle]

thing still has better single threaded performance than zen 2 if you overclock it lol

[edgy laurel]

[leaden dawn]

Just shows how long Intel's stagnated if anything

[edgy laurel]

saved by DICE games historically being extremely well multithreaded

[shell void]

id like to see core count testing in battlefield 6 done with a 10980xe because it's monolithic

i still havent figured out why the game will max out a 9950x only to produce the same performance as a 9700x, but with twice as much heat output for seemingly no reason

[rapid parcel]

Holding my immaturity full urge to say 6 7

[steel stream]

oh I did not know that, that is very interesting

[edgy laurel]

I didn't either

[rapid parcel]

2060s with a 4th gen i7 i will def bottleneck!!

[steel stream]

yeah I am trying to think about how that would be possiblwe

[shell void]

itll use all 16 cores and achieve legitimately the exact same performance as a single ccd part

but with wasted power

or at least it did at launch, idk if it's been altered by now

[steel stream]

5nail needs to do some testing

[shell void]

speaking of old hardware that was once good

[shell void]

looks like people just edit config and tell the game to only use 8 cores

because otherwise itll use 16 and waste power

[rapid parcel]

I miss the old hardware no AI shit just pure raw performance and also not some overpriced hardware

[shell void]

i love dlss

[low sorrel]

@hoary hatch

[south shuttle]

[steel stream]

TC2 is DLSS's strongest soldiers

[rapid parcel]

It is but it is generational exclusive like only 40series get dlss 3 for eg

[edgy laurel]

not going to find a lot of like minds here.

[steel stream]

dope, hopefully they add these clarifications to the store sites

[rapid parcel]

Damn

[shell void]

naw you can use the latest upscaling models all the way down to the rtx 2060

radeon is the one locking their latest features to their latest cards

[edgy laurel]

fine wine

[rapid parcel]

But you cant deny on that overpriced shi happend from 40series

[steel stream]

we get MFG on older arc cards next month I think

[edgy laurel]

speaking of, i can't seem to get Stalker 2 to override models

Recommended, or specifying M or L the overlay will just say Inactive

[shell void]

that's annoying

model L is a big improvement over K for performance upscaling

this is also extremely annoying

this UPS needs to stop bitching about my 5090

[edgy laurel]

lmao, 1.1kw

i remember hearing my UPS scream for the first time. 5-10 seconds of terror as I'd never heard it before

no idea where it was coming from

yeah they are all fucked we have deliveries we're expecting and they are awol

[topaz veldt]

you have to move shit off the battery side

[green marsh]

my multimeter is the mot annoying in this. "Dude, you left me on for more ethan 5 minutes without measuring anything with me, beep you!" And after another minute or os it does "beep you, i will turn off myself anyway"

[hoary hatch]

I could have used this 24 hours ago

[pure garnet]

did it ever go out

[turbid locust]

Yes it did about 45 mins ago

we up

[leaden dawn]

Agreed

[pure garnet]

hoping its a good bin

[shell void]

i only have my two PCs on the battery side

[pure garnet]

when you find whatever raw performance is let us know, because rasterization is still an optimization technique

[shell void]

and the other PC is only like 30W at idle with the display signal off

1000W+ of this is just my main PC playing cyberpunk xD

[pure garnet]

add how much

[steel stream]

https://tenor.com/view/dobby-gif-22195730

[leaden dawn]

Me

[topaz veldt]

2 PCs it too much

[shell void]

no it’s okay the other pc is only like 30W when it’s not doing anything

[brisk jolt]

im not used to 20w gpu while idle now

5090 idle is like 60w gradually decreasing to like sub 40

I appreciate intel’s fast boot times and ARL being easy to cool coming from AMD systems

[shell void]

my good sir it should be <20W

[pure garnet]

michael do you have cleartype disabled

[green marsh]

can't decide if i should get the Lian Li A3-mATX or ASUS AP201 for a mATX system 😛

[pure garnet]

when i was using the intel igpu my fonts looked like that

[brisk jolt]

thats weird mine refuses to do that area

[shell void]

it's set to greyscale because that looks the best with woled tvs

idk why hwinfo text is crunchy

[brisk jolt]

I like how michael’s aorus master is indeed now a matrix

if youre at your desk and bored then open up hwinfo and show me how it looks when you have nothing open and youre chilling on the desktop

[brisk jolt]

“Who will Gru be tonight? Thats the question”

[shell void]

also are you using multi monitor?

[brisk jolt]

yes

[shell void]

ah that's why

idle is always lower with one monitor

[brisk jolt]

i also hooked the 70ti with dual monitors and last time i checked it hit 20w idle easily

[shell void]

vram clock will be elevated with multi monitor and 5090 is 512bit so it drinks

[brisk jolt]

i see

[pure garnet]

my idle is higher because i don’t use vrr

a small price to pay

[brisk jolt]

kyoko what model’s ur 5070ti again

also prime?

it is time for you to play with eCLK on the 9850X3D

$50 on a shitjaws DDR-not 5 4x16gb kit in 2026

that's how you know it's mint

i think i'm losing my mind but google results as of seemingly today are by default opening in a new tab

edge does that by default and I love it tbh

def not a chrome thing though

[edgy laurel]

i'm only noticing because i do this so much that it being different is throwing me off

its fine, i prefer that, it was just unexpected out of the blue

[steel stream]

yeah i can understand

sometimes i feel like thats controlled by the website you're on though

a web dev probably knows more

[steel stream]

it's only for search results on edge

Fingers crossed, although I would personally hope for regenerative medicine first.

Although speaking of technological solutions, Samsung’s smart goggles and smart glasses look promising in that regard. Really want to test them sometime.

[hoary hatch]

I have a $150 43" 2020 TCL android tv in my bedroom that is crappy VA and terrible brightness
Surely this would be an improvement

[edgy laurel]

even if it is some cut down A series at heart, still good for casual use

sucks that 48" B5 isn't 550 anymore

[steel stream]

yeah realistically this is an awesome small bedroom TV lol

[hoary hatch]

55" for less tho

[edgy laurel]

i wouldn't put too much faith in any manufacturer warranty though

[pallid marsh]

I am legally blind it's totally not 10

[steel stream]

very true

[steel stream]

navy will just fix it himself after it blows up suspiciously one day after the warranty expires don't worry

[edgy laurel]

for him, this would not surprise me in the least

buy your TVs from costco and get those warranties

lemem find the picture

Just let it be the same product but different warranty

Remember folks, use protection!

[pallid marsh]

Get that lead acid battery for protection

[edgy laurel]

just don't be a bitch

[turbid locust]

u right

[fervent chasm]

i wish they made them an app on desktops like on laptops

instead of having to put files onto a usb and go into the bios

so stupid

[edgy laurel]

just have an asus board

can navigate your drives and select the file from there

[turbid locust]

lol I didnt realize that till just now. I got a USB. You can see my whole 2tb nvme in here

[edgy laurel]

yeah man

[turbid locust]

fire

[edgy laurel]

full NTFS support in the BIOS is a thing for at least Asus

[turbid locust]

I made a FAT32 usb out of habit

[edgy laurel]

flashback you still need one

obviously

[turbid locust]

yeah

[edgy laurel]

the last time i did an in-bios flash on the x670e board my display went black

it was still going on but i blamed it on HDMI on PC's being fucky

from that point on I just did everything through flashback

[fervent scaffold]

5070ti vanguard being so ridiculously oversized for no reason lol

Next to a 3080 and 1080ti

[shell void]

it's optimal bro

[turbid locust]

ngl I love how giant the coolers are on 50 series

[shell void]

same it's always fun handling my 5090 master

[turbid locust]

idgaf if that shit was 5 slots as long as it's quiet

[fervent scaffold]

I mean I like the look of it lol

[shell void]

i wouldve loved that true 4 slot titan ada design that der8auer showed off

[pallid marsh]

I bet the Prebuilt companies cried trying to secure a 5 pound gpu in a system

[turbid locust]

the more premium SI's straight up shipped them out of the tower iirc

[pure garnet]

has the chip done anything funny yet

[turbid locust]

hasnt arrived yet, I just wanted to update the bios and see if anything changed on the 9600x

so far all I can tell is the terms train differently

[shell void]

ive never observed any different behavior on any bios update between nov 2024 and now on my x870 tomahawk tbh

pbo and gear 1 tuning have behaved exactly the same on like 20 different revisions

the consistency is nice but it makes me wonder what the point in pushing 30 updates is

[turbid locust]

BZ has said iirc that bios updates were the difference between 7800 and 8000 on some of his chips

[shell void]

i can believe that

updates would make more obvious improvements on the edge of what the board is capable of

gear 1 is a joke to any am5 board even with suboptimal terms

[pure garnet]

i did but mine was half broken

[edgy laurel]

y'all don't know change and daily improvement until you experienced the launch BIOSes in 2022

[turbid locust]

even 2023 bios' were bad on some boards

[shell void]

the real pain was january -> may with 50 series gpu drivers

my computer was barely usable for several months

between graphics driver issues and the chromium hwaccel problems in windows 24h2+

for the first two months gpu boost didnt even work consistently xD

my 5070ti was chilling at like 2450MHz

oh sorry the pre-gpu-boost clock is 2572MHz

i wonder if i can find screenies of that

yeah gpu boost didnt work consistently until March xD

[edgy laurel]

i remember that

[turbid locust]

I think this 9600x just doesnt work at 8000 lol

which is insane cause it benches 8200

[shell void]

sell that shit it's a waste of space

aint nobody want a 6 core vanilla CCD that cant do fun ram speeds

[turbid locust]

Like it never made it to 3 mins karhu at 8000

we're at 10 mins no issue at 7800

also i did not realize till I got it but the Gene has no display outs on the mobo lol

[edgy laurel]

it has DP

[turbid locust]

via type C

[edgy laurel]

yeup

[turbid locust]

thats it lol

[edgy laurel]

don't complain, you've got PS/2 instead

[turbid locust]

real

but yeah more justification to buy the GT1030 I was looking at on ebay

[edgy laurel]

totally a viable feature people are using

(seriously who the fuck actually uses that anymore)

[turbid locust]

super niche OCers

[edgy laurel]

no one is talking about it, can't possible be enough to warrany putting it on boards

[shell void]

the other group of users are the people who like the original ibm model m keyboard

[turbid locust]

benchmarks that run better on like XP or some shit that dont have USB drivers natively

[shell void]

there are no other demographics

it's either cold OCers or model M users

[edgy laurel]

i'd like to see the venn diagram of those two user groups and how much they truly interact

[shell void]

gotta use the ibm model m for ln2 overclocking of course

it would probably be the most fun keyboard to use for that purpose

[turbid locust]

The only person I know iirc thats an XOCer and has a Model M is @iron relic lol

[shell void]

loud tactile switches on a giant chunky ps2 keyboard

slamming the numpad in bios

[pure garnet]

i thought ps/2 was more reliable under ln2

[turbid locust]

Only old OS' iirc

I had no issue benching LN2 on W10

[edgy laurel]

even the brands doing technical recreations of Model M's from the OG patents like Unicomp offer USB these days

[shell void]

i like the idea of ps/2 because it's basically like SHUTUP AND LISTEN to the processor

but it is obviously sorely out of date

[turbid locust]

Yeah i think this bitch just doesnt like 8k

[edgy laurel]

speaking of, they're made in Mac's homestate

[turbid locust]

oh? lol

[edgy laurel]

[shell void]

why is there no beige option?

dogcrap replica

[edgy laurel]

their name always comes up when people talk about buying model m's, can't be that bad

[shell void]

perhaps it feels and functions well but the lack of a beige option is asinine to me

[turbid locust]

why does nobody make 90 degree 24 pin connectors from like factory

[edgy laurel]

some boards have the female side horizontal

[turbid locust]

true

[edgy laurel]

just wild looking. moment of silence

[pure garnet]

tbf that board likely isn’t going in a daily system

[turbid locust]

I had an opportunity to buy an AM5 EVGA Dark engineering sample but passed on it. Unfortunately.

[edgy laurel]

like whatshisname here

[turbid locust]

couldnt justify 400-500 on what would realistically be a showpiece

[pure garnet]

did it even work

[turbid locust]

FzR? yeah through his people

[edgy laurel]

yeah

[turbid locust]

it worked but the bios was half complete

[edgy laurel]

just talking about the power connectors

[turbid locust]

like you could throw a zen 4 chip in it and run jedec daily no problem

[edgy laurel]

yeah but would it work with Zen5 at all

[turbid locust]

but no support ever so like you'd still have 2022 ram training and boot times

[turbid locust]

no

[edgy laurel]

and iirc, FzR doesn't have any heatsinks or dress up bits

[pure garnet]

so boots but not functional

5 min for jedec is ❌

[turbid locust]

right lol

[turbid locust]

some did, some didnt.

[fringe vigil]

hi

[oak vector]

hi

[turbid locust]

Sorry they werent Darks they were Classifieds https://www.techpowerup.com/323619/evga-made-an-amd-x670e-classified-motherboard-prototype-fetches-usd-1300-in-auction

But yeah I couldve bought one

[pure garnet]

4 sideways dimms is so lame

[turbid locust]

The guy mentioned in the article, Jiacheng, was the original owner of my XTX and now my Gene

[edgy laurel]

i wonder how much longer EVGA's site stays running

[edgy whale]

i like the way that looks

my cables stick out further than the ram and looks like ass to me

[topaz veldt]

I hope they come back

Goodness they were so good

[turbid locust]

also amazon gave me a code to give the driver for the 9850X3D. First time ive ever seen them do that

[topaz veldt]

Oh wild

Are you in an apartment or otherwise lot of people around

[shell void]

doesnt it only work with engineering sample ryzen 7000 cpus?

[turbid locust]

with that being said it still says 5-7p and its almost 7 with no "10 stops away" or whatever lol

[turbid locust]

Maybe? iirc retail Zen 4 worked too

[turbid locust]

just got the 10 stops away thing we lit

[topaz veldt]

Awwwwwyeah

[shell void]

is this the 9850x3d?

[topaz veldt]

Welcome to single CCD ass chip club

[turbid locust]

ya

[shell void]

i can smell the 8400 daily stable

[topaz veldt]

This is going to redeem all of Mac's former bad chips

7200 1:1 on 1.20 vsoc

[turbid locust]

also 5nail yk how i was fighting with my 9600x to do 8000? drop it to 7800 at the same settings and we're 46mins no error lol

so 9600x just isnt 8k daily stable

benches 8200 because of course it does but lol

[topaz veldt]

Yeah dude

[pure garnet]

setsunabin

[turbid locust]

I just sell this for 3k ngl

[topaz veldt]

8000 is the go/no-go

[turbid locust]

im gonna keep it cause I only paid like 150 for it

[pure garnet]

why though

[turbid locust]

I want more cpus

[topaz veldt]

@turbid locust

[turbid locust]

just cause it isnt a god bin doesnt mean it's not fun to play with

who watercooled a rx 480

[merry stirrup]

but thats an ek block

[merry stirrup]

this one is sick not the one i used tho

[shell void]

rx 480 which is just a more efficient r9 390x which is just a more efficient r9 290x

[shell void]

that would be heat on a bench ssd

[turbid locust]

my bench gpu is an rx480 I bought for $15

"broken"

I took it home and put it on the bench and it worked idk

drivers would crash if you touched the OC tab at all

[merry stirrup]

polaris gpus are the worst thing produced by amd

[turbid locust]

but otherwise functional card lol

[merry stirrup]

they have the widest swing of "yeah this works"

because yes a card that crashes when you touch the oc tab is completely within spec

but so is a card that can max out the vram slider and put core to 1500mhz

they also break really weird

the drivers arent good especially now

[pallid marsh]

People wasted money water blocking a $199-240 card

[merry stirrup]

theres 1050ti blocks lol

[shell void]

if youre a xocer it makes sense but otherwise it's amusing

[steel stream]

oh damn that is a beaut

[turbid locust]

yeah this fucker just works at 7800 lmao

[steel stream]

this would be something up Guilty's alley I think

[shell void]

windows 8 img100 amuses me

[merry stirrup]

it does not amuse me

[shell void]

it's just the seattle tower on a low detail cartoonish background

[merry stirrup]

[merry stirrup]

very very neat

[pallid marsh]

What is their native language

[low sorrel]

he was nice

[shell void]

bench your 9850x3d with the zen 5 ccd infrared microscope photo

it amuses me that the majority of a zen 5 ccd is just l3 cache

i can understand why amd wants to eventually move all L3 to a separate 3d bonded chiplet

[pure garnet]

are superstrike reviews out yet

[shell void]

wat is superstrike

[merry stirrup]

randomly yesterday i discovered that a SMD on my 13900Ks is half hanging off, i wonder if thats why it doesnt boot

wonder if i could just tack it back on

[pure garnet]

the supersuperlight

[shell void]

is that the one with funny switches

[pure garnet]

yeah

[merry stirrup]

that mark on the bottom of the substrate is not joy sparking

[shell void]

i see a review from a guy with only 37 subscribers

[pure garnet]

i had to order new keyswitches again because i made an error ordering unlubed switches

my keyboard makes sounds like the taco bell bell in the ads everytime i let off a key

[shell void]

☠️

[pure garnet]

so i figured i may look into replacing the viper with a hole in the bottom of it

[turbid locust]

please do something

[shell void]

mashallah brother mac i have faith

[pure garnet]

surely this is the 6400 sample

[turbid locust]

GOTTA BE

[shell void]

this is the 8400 chip

[pure garnet]

same thing apparently

[turbid locust]

im fully expecting 1.25vsoc 6000 and 7800

[shell void]

i bumped up to 1.25vsoc from 1.20vsoc this morning because i disabled geardown mode

im gonna run ycruncher overnight with 6400 2133 gdm off

[turbid locust]

stock cooler on 500 dollar cpu kek

actually ill put a real cooler on it, i'll be benching it for awhile im sure

[shell void]

it's gonna be toasty asf if you dont

those few preferred cores are gonna drink power

[turbid locust]

excited to try proper curve shaper stuff too

[shell void]

scalar actually does something on the 9850x3d because it runs at higher voltages than the 9800x3d

[wraith steeple]

Oh Mac got his 9850X3D?

[turbid locust]

@topaz veldt remind me of your 9850X3D's SP?

[shell void]

what did u get?

[turbid locust]

not booted yet just got cooler on

[shell void]

[pure garnet]

world first 200sp score

[turbid locust]

IT'S NOT DOA

my standards are so low lmao

[shell void]

it meets baseline functionality 🔥

[turbid locust]

@topaz veldt wake up dammit what was your SP

[shell void]

iirc he said 121 or somethin

yeah 121 on his 9850x3d

[turbid locust]

it better not be

[pure garnet]

sp 77

[turbid locust]

mines 120 lol

[shell void]

bro got u beat by 1 point

[turbid locust]

and he'll never let me hear the end of it

[pure garnet]

at least you get an sp score

[turbid locust]

why is it taking so long to train

[shell void]

holy gorgeous

[dense sage]

am i supposed to change the liquid in my CPU aio

[vestal granite]

no

[dense sage]

i think my pc is getting hot

[vestal granite]

what cpu and what aio

[shell void]

only a couple of AIOs are designed to be easily refillable, the rest are considered disposable products

you throw them away when the temps are bad after years of fluid evaporation, or in the case of a pump failure

[dense sage]

hmm

trying to find its name

ASUS ROG Strix LC 360 ARGB CPU Cooler / Intel Core i9 11900K

[shell void]

84c core temp as an independent variable isnt a problem

[dense sage]

and its a ftw3 3090

that screenshot was after a premier game of cs

[low sorrel]

@merry stirrup im going to crash out i just died because after dumping half a mag of m856a1 into someone i saw them go prone and i thought they were dead

i fell for the bait

[pallid marsh]

Should've thrown a nade to make sure just like we do in squad in grass fields

[shell void]

hey now big dog ive had faith in this chip dont push me away

[topaz veldt]

[turbid locust]

I just need you to wait 10 mins

[topaz veldt]

Can you post vid table

[turbid locust]

I can check in a few mins

[shell void]

wow the SP scaling is nuts

almost 100mv difference between 123 and 119

[turbid locust]

if it scales perfectly that means mine should be 25mv worse than 5nails

@turbid locust I can't run the +200 -25 CO pbo that i could on my 9800X3D but that's obvious because of the higher base boost

[turbid locust]

Yeah havent tried PBO stuff at all

[wraith steeple]

We did a brief walkthrough on possible changes and additional fittings to add for today. Tomorrow it will be drained for maintenance and Distro installation inshallah

[topaz veldt]

Why isn't it done yet

Waiting on stuff to be shipped

[turbid locust]

@topaz veldt @shell void @pure garnet @merry stirrup Day 1 bin is real

only took me 5 cpus

[topaz veldt]

Awwwyeah

Now fuck that shit and go to 8600

[turbid locust]

kek bro

I have word of test bios' specifically tuned ODT terminations for gskill h16a 6000 c26 kits

for the gene

[pure garnet]

try 2133 fclk now

[topaz veldt]

Damn.

And both our core 6 and 7 are lazy fat assholes

[turbid locust]

real lol

core 6 is my worst

uhm asus will let me enter 1.4vsoc.. lol

[pure garnet]

gene probably has a vsoc unlock jumper?

[wraith steeple]

Yooo Amazon now has Mayhems X1/XT1 in stock?!

[turbid locust]

6600 1:1 wont even post lol

Cant be too greedy i guess

[wraith steeple]

They do!!! Let's fucking gooooo, baby!

[turbid locust]

I dont see one

[wraith steeple]

Oh how I missed you my old friend (X1)

[south shuttle]

i managed to post twice after few attempts but it ofc bsods immedietely

[wraith steeple]

[turbid locust]

not that I'd even want to run 1.3v on X3D

[turbid locust]

well dude Ive had chips not do 6400 stable but would post, boot, and not BSOD at 6600.

This chip is seemingly 6400 stable and doesnt post 6600 lol

[south shuttle]

6600 is diamond grade bin

hehe

6800 is hax

[topaz veldt]

I had a 6800 7950X3D

[pure garnet]

i can post 6600 i just never bothered trying it since it error'd at 1.3v with 2200 fclk

[south shuttle]

i can do 6400 2133

[pure garnet]

same

that's what i daily

[south shuttle]

it also runs effortlessly without major tuning

[turbid locust]

I just booted 2200 fclk, trying to test it

[burnt socket]

6400 2133, runs fine till i run a game\

[turbid locust]

then it probably doesnt run fine eh?

[burnt socket]

fyi its cl36

that's how weak my 7600 is

[turbid locust]

I forget ryzen just goes 95C ape mode lol

[turbid locust]

that has nothing to do with your 7600 lmao

[burnt socket]

the shitty chips on the memory stick?

[turbid locust]

more likely

[south shuttle]

make sure your overclock isn’t heat sensitive

[burnt socket]

it never overheated at all

[south shuttle]

load your gpu and i also recommend blowing hot air externally at the kit to simulate hottest days of summer

[burnt socket]

uh

it is pretty hot in my room

[south shuttle]

you don’t want “random” crashes during summer and blame your gpu because it causes heat that then makes your ram unstable

[burnt socket]

it crashed as soon as i loaded a game

but ok ill try ima dualboot into windows now

[pure garnet]

sounds like its not fine

[south shuttle]

use software that detects errors

your ram oc isn’t valid until you load 90% of your heat producing components

like if you want to realistically run it

bigger number is nice but corrupt os isn’t

[burnt socket]

should I start at 2133 6400

[oak vector]

@merry stirrup dropped the price to 1300 without the 2tb ssd and I have 3 messages lol

[south shuttle]

start with 6200

it’s what most bins can run

6400 is like what 20-40% people can run

[burnt socket]

point of no return

[south shuttle]

even most motherboards will default to 1:2 when you set 6400

or 6200

the manufacturers know it’s no bueno good idea in the most part

[south shuttle]

make sure it’s 1:1

[turbid locust]

No major swings in Gflops, 2200fclk probably stable . Never thought i'd see the day.

[pure garnet]

mac finally getting a decent cpu

[south shuttle]

67 numeros

[turbid locust]

im more impressed that it does 2200 at 1.25vsoc than the fact that it does 2200 itself

[south shuttle]

i 2133 1.185vsoc

[burnt socket]

yes it is

it was always like that and i never touched it

[south shuttle]

exactly you never touched it

many motherboards default to 1:2 when you run anything above 6000

i recommend you double checking now that you ran 6400 and 6200

but if it doesn’t then good

[pure garnet]

failing 6400 2:1 seems improbable

but it's probably the fclk on that zen 4 cpu

[south shuttle]

i hope 7400 or 7600 isn’t too hard with 1:2 for most mbs

[pure garnet]

probs not but those speeds aren't worth running

[south shuttle]

yeah only in specific tasks

[burnt socket]

tested memory via p95

works fine

[turbid locust]

my 7700x straight up maxed at 2133 even at low vsoc

[burnt socket]

isn't it this

[turbid locust]

update: 6400 doesnt work at 1.2vsoc

i cannot complain after all this

I will not be greedy

[south shuttle]

yes

that should be 1:1 bc i don’t see /2

[burnt socket]

it was that on default since I owned the motherboard

[south shuttle]

usually i see budget boards defaulting to 1:2 automatically once you set your kit to above 6000

until you manually set it to 1:1

[turbid locust]

does not work at 1.23v either. Makes me mildly nervous.

imagine I got a troll 6400 sample

[burnt socket]

b840 = budget board

💀

[turbid locust]

well, yeah.

[turbid locust]

why

[edgy laurel]

🙏

[pure garnet]

willingly buying a b840 is a choice

[turbid locust]

esp when they're not even cheaper than B850

[burnt socket]

came in a prebuilt

the retailer wanted to burn our money

the case is from a company where there is no hq

the powersupplys an f tier

[south shuttle]

b650s are wat i use

[burnt socket]

the motherboard is a rebadged a motherboard

all of which I realized after buying

[south shuttle]

idk why amd has to do this

A820 would’ve been fine

it makes me strongly believe they’re doing the confusing naming schemes on purpose

[shell void]

yes they are

amd is equally as anti-consumer as nvidia is, they just make worse products

[shell void]

if not moreso tbh

[turbid locust]

@shell void

what do you think about a 6400/2200 1.25vsoc chip

[shell void]

sounds like a W to me

[turbid locust]

it's weird tho cause it doesnt post 6600 at all

I had chips not stable at 6200 post 6600

[pure garnet]

you could’ve bought something else then

[south shuttle]

nah rember 4080 12gb

they tried to pull that but oh well they accepted defeat

[pure garnet]

that’s just a 4080

[shell void]

i remember amd launching the 9060xt 8GB after watching nvidia get flamed for the 5060Ti 8GB

and they still have refused to officially launch int8 fsr4 for older gpus

[burnt socket]

I didn't realize till after i bought it

[south shuttle]

5080 was also not good

[shell void]

and then frank azor went on twitter to defend it

[south shuttle]

tldr they both suck

[shell void]

indubitably

[turbid locust]

Agreed. (I bought both their best consumer products)

[south shuttle]

peopel be liek:

this company sucks!!!!
continues to purchase their next gen products

[turbid locust]

I wanted the best gpu and well... there's only 1 lol

[south shuttle]

ther 2

it’s what happens when there is a monopoly

[shell void]

theyre all evil so ill buy the best product regardless of color

im not going to give amd pity purchases when theyre equally as evil

[south shuttle]

but oh well amd and nvidia kind feel like cartel with their product segregations and naming schemes

[turbid locust]

Quite frankly in the current market im not ashamed of paying 2K for my 5090

[shell void]

if amd was actually based and pro consumer then i would, but theyre not

[south shuttle]

nail in the coffin was moving rx 6000 driver support down a lower tier

[turbid locust]

AMD pretends to be the martyr but they consistently do the dumbest shit imaginable

[south shuttle]

who wants a gpu?! but the best driver support will end for some even before your warranty ends! and our competition offrers better driver support, buy us!

15% cheaper raster!

[turbid locust]

AMD wasnt even the better value this gen is the funny part

5070Ti mogged the 9070XT

[shell void]

7900XTX users watching their $1000 GPU get obsoleted two years later because it will never get access to good upscaling or framegen without using third party tools that trigger anticheats

very pro consumer of wholesome underdog AMD

[south shuttle]

it was until they raised the msrp

some people did get hands on $599 6070xt

a week later you couldn’t at all

[turbid locust]

Yeah I vividly remember the launch

They went on sale and then seconds later only $800 models were available lol

[pallid marsh]

Got my 9070xt in early November for $610

Straight from Amazon no fancy microcenter

[fervent chasm]

Rate the UI guys

Got the monitor switching and everything

[south shuttle]

i like stuff being more compacted even on touch screens

[fervent chasm]

this is on desktop i only took a photo of the actual popoup UI

[wraith steeple]

AyyMD: Try Not to Shoot Yourself in the Foot Challenge (fails badly)

[turbid locust]

💯

[fervent chasm]

I finally have everything, video, audio, input

just finished implementing the Clipboard sync and v1.0.0 is basically ready for release

rn only H.264 and AV1, I will try H.265 and maybe VP8/9 as a fallback

I promise one day this app will be used by a lot of people i just need to get the word around and an official stable release

No more POS browser remote desktop

[south shuttle]

0 days since last incident

[deep sundial]

Yo I just realized CPU’s and GPU’s can get as hot as car oil running temps

That’s crazy when you put it into that perspective

Cars get a little hotter but still

[turbid locust]

@shell void @pure garnet @topaz veldt 8K preset-subs auto terms 🤷‍♂️

[deep sundial]

They do get pretty close

[burnt socket]

100+ celcius?

[burnt socket]

how godly is your 9850x3d running 8000

[turbid locust]

UCLK/2

[deep sundial]

I mean right now it’s pretty cold so engine oil does run at less than 200F/93C sometimes now

[shell void]

lookin good so far, seems it can do 6400 and 8000

[turbid locust]

[fervent chasm]

whats the fastest you can theoretically run ddr5

[turbid locust]

highest ever validated is 13530MT's

[south shuttle]

hacking

🖥️ 🦠

[oak vector]

little bit of fear mongering, but cos of the nipah virus over in India, Australian politicians already plan to lockdown the country lol. Will be interesting to see how this pans out

[devout ridge]

there’s no hard cap

[oak vector]

Iron dome basically where they stop people from coming into the country and travelling interstate iirc

[rapid parcel]

Nipah?

[south shuttle]

what about wear masks

so no lockdowns happen

one extreme to another extreme as always

[rapid parcel]

Because you were ok,and not one who died brooo

Btw i loved that phase too

[devout ridge]

recently was a small outbreak in india

[turbid locust]

if another covid happens my life literally would not change

[south shuttle]

make wearing masks mandatory and you pretty much reduce spread of disease by so much they don’t become epidemics/pandemics

instead of letting it spread and then you have to do a lockdown

[devout ridge]

7.1m dead people would probably disagree

[rapid parcel]

We faced one we might take precautions now

[hoary hatch]

$20 dual tower?!

[rapid parcel]

Same thing happend with me in 2021

[south shuttle]

the reason disease spread is because one infected becomes two and so on, with masks on you reduce the chances so much it has no way to spread exponentially

[devout ridge]

thermalright needs to chill, they can’t keep being so damn good for being so cheap

[oak vector]

Oh exactly

I have a peerless assassin I got for like 20aud lmao

it just works

[turbid locust]

replace the fans and then probably good cooler

[devout ridge]

my 4u server uses two thermalright single towers, they’re amazing

[hoary hatch]

Thermalright needs to release a detailed pamphlet explaining what all the differences between the coolers are

[south shuttle]

first time i had covid it barely affected me (no symptoms), second or third it was decently bad but this 2025 flu was much worse

[oak vector]

Preach lollll

[turbid locust]

they're loud

[oak vector]

I got covid mid early 2025 haha

[turbid locust]

you're*

[rapid parcel]

Like i wasnt in pain instead i was enjoying the quarantine it was just fever spikes

[oak vector]

You’re*

[hoary hatch]

Problem with that is you're above PA120 territory

Unless you already had fans on hand

[turbid locust]

fair. 17 y/o me wouldnt have cared lol

[hoary hatch]

Not at all

[rapid parcel]

Btw did deepcool got unbanned in us?

[devout ridge]

they’re the cheapest company that is still good*

[hoary hatch]

There are plenty of companies competent at making coolers like wtf

[devout ridge]

not in the slightest

[south shuttle]

i don’t like talking abt it but since the disease i found out i have a nasal perforation that’s too big to heal on it’s own, i doubt it was the only reason i have it but it definitely contributed

[turbid locust]

Noctua? BeQuiet? Phanteks?

[oak vector]

Yeah deepcool isn’t too bad either

Like budget wise and overall iirc

[south shuttle]

the 2025 flu was like third or second worst respiratory disease i’ve had

[rapid parcel]

They are a bit expensive but they do there job really well and i hate noctua design btw

[turbid locust]

dont really have to innovate when youve been the best for like 15 years lmao

[rapid parcel]

I hate noctua colour design

[south shuttle]

the reason i caught it because people constantly cough in public transport, sneeze in your face, etc.

[hoary hatch]

So that would be the current flu season?

[turbid locust]

see Redux line

[rapid parcel]

Broooooo

[oak vector]

I got it cos skill issue idk
My body manifested it somehow

[south shuttle]

i’m telling you until people won’t start consistently dying nobody will wear masks

[hoary hatch]

I don't think I've ever had a respiratory disease

[rapid parcel]

I wasnt aware about that

[south shuttle]

i’m wearing a mask and people stare at me

[hoary hatch]

Like 60% sure I got swine flu back in the day tho cause middle schoolers be disease ridden

[oak vector]

Look they’re more effective at preventing your germs getting out as opposed to getting in lol

[rapid parcel]

Country??

[south shuttle]

also i have to now because i have a fucking hole in my nose that feels cold all the time

[south shuttle]
