[brittle trellis]

Probably doesn't have as much of a benefit when paired with ddr4

[shell void]

whereas ryzen 5000 is on tsmc n7 which nobody cares about anymore

[hidden vault]

so you guys just advise me to get a 5600 or 5700x

[lethal topaz]

ryzen 5000 my beloved

[hidden vault]

which ones better between 5600x/5700x

[turbid locust]

Think about it

[lethal topaz]

bigger number better, but you probably dont need the slight boost

[brittle trellis]

Well do you want 6 or 8 cores

[hidden vault]

it makes sense the 5700x is, but i was told the 5600x which i wanted to clarify

[edgy laurel]

$1100 AUD doing a quick and dirty PCPP list, for the record. minus the whatever for KBM, no where near $2500. 7700x/B650M board/32GB of 6000CL32. (obviously terrible deal for the RAM but thats just how it is now)

[shell void]

5600, 5600x, 5700x, 5800x, and 5800xt will all perform very similarly in most games

[brittle trellis]

What crackpot told you the 5600x is better?

[shell void]

i listed them from least to most powerful, but it's a small difference

id try to get a ryzen 7 if it's only slightly more expensive though

[lethal topaz]

my two beloved processors

[turbid locust]

5500 is a 3600 pretending to be faster

[lethal topaz]

5500 is still cheaper than a 3600 today lmao

[turbid locust]

makes sense

[hidden vault]

is that good for cs2? i think I have like a fomo regarding the x3d cpus. I want to play cs2 and make sure i get 350-400fps easily on am5

I do play it more seriously, im not a casual cs2 gamer

[lethal topaz]

cs2 is an esports game. a potato will run it convincingly

[turbid locust]

CS2 is more demanding than people think it is

[shell void]

it's several times harder to run than csgo was

[edgy laurel]

#tech-chat-2 message

[lethal topaz]

so instead of gettings 60fps on an i3 laptop you get... ? 45 fps on an i3 laptop?

[turbid locust]

I ran a 3600 + GTX 1080 on the bench once and it wasn’t keeping up at 1080p in CS2

it was struggling to maintain over 100fps

[lethal topaz]

is there a benchmark feature in cs2

im redownloading it rn

[hidden vault]

??

[turbid locust]

Community map maybe

[wraith steeple]

I'm gonna head out of a late night munch

[hidden vault]

yea definetely

[shell void]

are you playing for money?

if youre trying to be a serious content creator or competitive player then you should upgrade your whole PC if you can safely afford it

[hidden vault]

no not for money i just wanna make sure i dont have a shit build when i play

ik i dont need anything crazy

[lethal topaz]

nah hes probably GNM

[shell void]

[turbid locust]

CS2s engine is kinda ass anyway

iirc last time I played I wasn’t even getting 300fps consistently with FSR on balanced

CS2 is the only game I still let be uncapped framerate because it somehow feels even worse at 144

[lethal topaz]

i didnt realize cs2 was so large on disk

i thought it would be like 20gb or less

[hidden vault]

yea same i always think its 15gb like global offensive

its like 50gb now

[lethal topaz]

bruh

[turbid locust]

I was just starting to really get into CS at the end of CSGOs lifespan and then CS2 released and absolutely killed any desire I had to play that game

[hidden vault]

its not that bad tbh, theyve fixed alot of stuff now but still doesnt hit like GO

[turbid locust]

I retry it every 6 months or so, still feels just as bad as launch

[hidden vault]

u sure its not placebo?

[turbid locust]

when you’re used to Valorant 128 tick, CS2 feels like you’re moving through gelatin with 200ms

[turbid locust]

have you played literally any other shooter

[lethal topaz]

but but cs2 is beyond the tick!

[turbid locust]

CS2s netcode would be completely unacceptable if it were any other IP lmfao

[lethal topaz]

they removed ticks!!!!

[turbid locust]

Valve just has CS players Stockholm Syndrome’d

[hidden vault]

yes bro youve done my head in

i wouldnt say cs2 is for casual gamers tbf

[turbid locust]

All they had to do was give us 128 tick and some graphics and it would’ve been

[pure garnet]

i played csgo for a decade and i've played maybe 100h since cs2 came out

the game is just broken

[turbid locust]

but no they redid the fuckass engine and it’s just straight up worse

[shell void]

i got bored of CS after Valorant came out

[hidden vault]

💯 + an anti cheat

[odd sable]

does CS and CS2 not use VAC just the same?

[pure garnet]

yeah but vac doesn't do much of anything

[turbid locust]

yeah the pinnacle of all anti cheats

[hidden vault]

even faceit's anti cheat is getting exploited now

[steel stream]

all the money they spent on skins keeps them there

[turbid locust]

I haven’t touched valve matchmaking since probably 2020

[turbid locust]

That game generates billions and they still act like they can’t afford 128 tick servers lmao

[steel stream]

https://tenor.com/view/idk-egg-man-i-dont-know-smile-not-sure-gif-25766015

[pure garnet]

i will never forget watching my friend get vac'd live as i was also injected with cheats on a third party server

[steel stream]

god that gif is goateddddd

[pure garnet]

the anticheat bans you if you download something off google or buy the first cheat off google

but if you have anything somewhat decent you're untouchable for months+

[turbid locust]

CS2 is straight up slop and I don’t understand how the playerbase accepts it

[hidden vault]

yea ive got a mate whos cheated since 2020 and still uncaught

[turbid locust]

I could not give a fuck less about a “competitive” game that involves me questioning the match integrity every game

I’ve been playing valorant for 4 years. I’ve seen 3 cheaters. 3.

[wraith steeple]

Damn nothing

[hidden vault]

id definetely agree that val is much better (technically) but i dont like the game much and it doesnt give me the same feel I get from cs

[turbid locust]

CSGO > Valorant > CS2

that’s my final stance

[lethal topaz]

Overwatch >

[turbid locust]

YIKES hell no

[shadow lodge]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1355965293582618774/1404227362027212922/attachment-2-1-1-1.gif

[lethal topaz]

its not the same type of game anyway

[turbid locust]

Overwatch made me want to gouge my eyes out

[steel stream]

marvel rivals <3

[odd sable]

OW1 or OW2?

[turbid locust]

yes

[turbid locust]

also ass lmfao

[lethal topaz]

ow2 isnt real

[odd sable]

if you are in china, correct

[steel stream]

it's cool to go in and play as spiderman

that's about it

[lethal topaz]

rivals is probably one of the worst shooters of this decade

[hidden vault]

so you guys think I dont NEED a ryzen 7 7800x3d to get 350-400 fps constant?

on low settings obv

[lethal topaz]

rivals isnt competitive at all

good casual game i should have clarified

[turbid locust]

I mean shit atp maybe you do but I would just look at benchmarks

[pure garnet]

dude it’s cs2 you won’t get that on a 9800x3d with half the updates

[hidden vault]

na im sure you would

surely its not that bad

[turbid locust]

I was not getting a consistent 300fps on a 14900k and 5090 at like… 1440p render res? lmao

[hidden vault]

i play on low settings

[turbid locust]

Whatever balanced upscaling renders at on 4K

[turbid locust]

I do too

[shell void]

2176x1224p

[turbid locust]

ok so lower than 1440p lmao

[merry stirrup]

only 200w max? something has gotta be wrong

[shell void]

ecores off

[hidden vault]

yea i play 1080

[merry stirrup]

yeah but you’re thermal throttling at 200w

[turbid locust]

Yeah what I’m getting at is I was barely rendering at higher than 1080p low and wasn’t getting 300fps consistently on a 14900K + 5090

[shell void]

yeah 200w from just 8 cores is rough for a 240mm aio with terrible contact uniformity

if i enabled the ecores then i could do 253w

[hidden vault]

WOW wtf!

[turbid locust]

speaking of 240mm AIOs my SL3 came in today

back to the A3

right after I efficiency tune this 9850X3D

then it’s Intel bench time

[pure garnet]

i am most pleased with being off my n3b mobile chip

[turbid locust]

your what

[pure garnet]

the 15 pro ran hot as hell

this chip does not

[turbid locust]

I’m confused

[wraith steeple]

Both my PPCs and TitanRig orders are on their way

[pure garnet]

my 17 came today

[turbid locust]

Are you benchmarking phones

[pure garnet]

by benchmarking running 1 game on them yeah

[wraith steeple]

[pure garnet]

15 pro was n3b this is n3p

and also isn't trying to meld my hands doing it

[shell void]

275W with Ecores enabled

still buns, LF3 240 is garbanzo

[pure garnet]

aio below 360 makes no sense imo

[merry stirrup]

better thats just crazy i didnt know it was that bad

i mean my 280 was just fine on an 11700k at like 370w

it would be a warm 370w but it would do it

less power dense but still thats just wild idk

[shell void]

11th gen cores are amusingly large

[merry stirrup]

yeah

whole thing is amusingly large

[devout ridge]

• insert super niche edge case
  “nuh uh”

[merry stirrup]

love it

never delidded 11th gen myself sadly

[shell void]

direct die 11900k wouldve been fun

[merry stirrup]

yes and no really

[turbid locust]

realistically what’s the performance difference between 240 and 360

[merry stirrup]

11900k/11th gen really didnt clock very good

especially on ring that was its biggest issue

talking like, if you could run above 38 or 40x ring you had a pretty good chip

[shell void]

LF3 (og non-pro) is especially bad on a 14900K so my case isnt apples to apples, but 240mm aios are buns

my nhd15 could handle 320W cinebench runs

[turbid locust]

man idgaf 240 is gonna fit in my case nice as fuck deal with it

[merry stirrup]

i ran a 360 in my d31

[shell void]

downgrading cooler instead of just buying a sf1000

[merry stirrup]

wait a3 doesnt do 360 without sfx?

[turbid locust]

It does if your gpu isn’t a 5090

[shell void]

360mm aio
atx psu
5090

pick two

[merry stirrup]

ah right

[turbid locust]

ALTHOUGH

[merry stirrup]

i forgot you make incredible purchasing decisions

[turbid locust]

I have not tested it

[devout ridge]

who wants an ATX psu?

[shell void]

well i require one, but for most people the sf1000 is just goated

[turbid locust]

but supposedly my 5090 is 3mm longer than my XTX was and my XTX was literally touching the PSU

[devout ridge]

why do you require one?

[shell void]

flagship oced cpu + 800w 5090 + planning to get 6090

1000w is the limit for a sff psu

[devout ridge]

for now

[pure garnet]

i mean your chip is gonna pull 40w so nothing but

[devout ridge]

it’s not an actual hard limit, just all that is available as of now

[pure garnet]

you can just >buy an air cooler and get more cooling for the money

[shell void]

52 core nova lake and a 5090 would make a sf1000 unhappy even though itd probably work

[turbid locust]

yeah but like noise and ram fan clearance

[merry stirrup]

someone just gapped me in yc with my own profile by .20

wat

[turbid locust]

on god I care about ram cooling more than cpu

[turbid locust]

cooling diff gotta be

[merry stirrup]

its not

[hoary hatch]

Is it just me or does this look like an Intel LGA socket pin

[turbid locust]

flops what was your best ycruncher run anyway

[merry stirrup]

i think a flat 15

[merry stirrup]

it does but theres no way

[turbid locust]

Oh. I gapped you blud.

[merry stirrup]

you have an asus board, bz explained why

[hoary hatch]

It fell out when I removed the m.2 drive on the back of the board

[turbid locust]

I also yolo’d an extra 50Mhz on P cores

[merry stirrup]

asrock core oc doesnt work

[pure garnet]

asrock do mem and nothing else

[merry stirrup]

not properly anyways

i think i have to go back to like a realease bios and run bypass mode for anything impressive

[merry stirrup]

check the pads instead

[turbid locust]

Nobody made you guys buy the OCF

https://tenor.com/view/druski-shrug-idk-iono-hands-up-gif-7122581203490458147

[merry stirrup]

remember LGA is little tiny hooks too

not just pads

[pure garnet]

i mean i wasn't really planning on core oc

and the 4h drive for a z890 board is kinda mid

[merry stirrup]

]

little hooks

so it cant be traditional cpu lga

[shell void]

i so totally need one

i require 86 redwood cove performance cores

[merry stirrup]

seby my goat

[turbid locust]

I’ve been DMing him a bit and talking with him on hwbot

he’s been my test bios hookup

[hoary hatch]

i havent uncovered the socket yet

i am scared

[turbid locust]

we love non gatekeepy mfs

[hoary hatch]

Also the user said "oh yeah I have a 2070 super at home"

[pure garnet]

that’s the one thing i wish i had an apex for

[hoary hatch]

the 2070 super at home

and this pc reeks of weed

[pure garnet]

is the fact asus actually tries vs msi/asrock

[merry stirrup]

this guy really making me do it to him

[merry stirrup]

this is fire though

[shell void]

i need this for playing oldschool mabinogi

[merry stirrup]

its time for more facebook marketplace

someone give me a 4790K

[pure garnet]

also if the apex was really that gas you can buy one for pennies on ebay, z890 debuff is real

[turbid locust]

hehehe haw

[flint citrus]

figured out why psu works but no mobo power....

😂

[shell void]

man there is all kinds of crud in there

[flint citrus]

i was using it like 4 times a month, aside from that my partner used it more than me

It was definitely extremely dusty icl

gonna be awhile before she can get back to playing red dead redemption I guess lmao

[turbid locust]

anyways time to go apply some actual timings to my ram tune instead of letting Karhu run a day at a time

[pure garnet]

are you dailying 8200

[turbid locust]

fs

like we've done almost two 24 hr runs atp. 8200 works

Probably daily those primaries, ik tRCD 50 is boring but meh

[merry stirrup]

still quite fine though

[turbid locust]

I might do 48 idk

[pure garnet]

i mean i only do 46 at 8000

at 1.65v vdd 44 no boots for me

[hoary hatch]

Rate my bench

[turbid locust]

im also at 1.43v btw cause funny pmic kit

[merry stirrup]

what we buying

[brisk jolt]

for those who oc after

[hoary hatch]

troubleshooting a pc

the 8700k works in different board

[turbid locust]

@merry stirrup shotgunned some bullshit wish me luck

straight up copied BZ's 8300 timings and even in the video he said these werent minimized and some of the subs were even loose

so like should work fine hopefully

[hoary hatch]

can i boot without cmos attached

[merry stirrup]

some boards dont like it but usually OEM ones

[turbid locust]

if this doesnt error in like an hour or two im calling it good lmao

we'll do full fat test when it's in a case

[hoary hatch]

so the board doesn't boot

pin AC-1 may be bent

or perhaps this one

why can I only find low res socket pinouts

[teal orbit]

short each pin to ground to find out its purpose

[merry stirrup]

photo

[brisk jolt]

good luck hope you dont click it and get 7 errors

https://tenor.com/view/chen-break-dance-endfield-arknights-arknights-endfield-gif-12163275330078387139

[turbid locust]

we're at 27 mins

[topaz veldt]

what does aida say about bw and ns

[hidden vault]

1100 for the whole build? if so, please send it

[hoary hatch]

i don't wanna

[turbid locust]

havent tried it yet, not sure I even have aida on this bench os

hold on

[hoary hatch]

anyways
No boot with 8700k, no boot with 8400, no boot without cmos, no boot with new cmos battery, no boot with old ram, no boot with no ram, no boot with new ram

measured 3.3v on PWR and RST

[turbid locust]

idek if this is good I do not run Aida

[merry stirrup]

70gb out of a single ccd i dont think thats bad

[turbid locust]

I just have no reference

[topaz veldt]

its not bad, latency is meh but its loose

[turbid locust]

im about to start doing some pbo stuff

[topaz veldt]

nice

fwiw SP121, I could not do +200 and -25

at least inside my ITX case w/ heat

it booted etc but it R23 crashed

but also +200 on a 9850X3D is.... high?

[merry stirrup]

need hardware

[turbid locust]

she's multithreaded

[brisk jolt]

she's multithreaded

[hoary hatch]

$75?!

[turbid locust]

my beloved

wow that ss is almost readable

[hoary hatch]

$250 bruh

[merry stirrup]

but shes muktithreaded

[hoary hatch]

I just want one big thread

[merry stirrup]

single threaded

[hoary hatch]

Flops

You got itx lga1151v2 by any chance?

[merry stirrup]

i wish bro why

i have itx lga 1700

[hoary hatch]

This assrock itx 1151v2 seems to be dead

[merry stirrup]

do you have an SOP programmer? reflash the bios chip

[hoary hatch]

Nope

[topaz veldt]

wtf is this

[hoary hatch]

I can't even make CPU fan spin

[merry stirrup]

15$ potential to fix

[turbid locust]

SMU debug tool

[hoary hatch]

Idk if this board is worth that

I mean technically yes

[merry stirrup]

if you fuck with doing things like that imo yes

[turbid locust]

@topaz veldt allows you to do PBO shit in OS for testing instead of going into bios every time you want to change something

[hoary hatch]

I'm just trying to help a friend of a friend here

[merry stirrup]

fair

[hoary hatch]

I might give them the z390 narrow ATX and the 8400, taking the 8700k for myself

Would 8700k ever be fun to mess with

[merry stirrup]

yes

you can get z170/z270 and mod it to z370/90 for double fun

[hoary hatch]

Is Corsair SF600 any good

[merry stirrup]

pretty easy, make/mod bios with coffeetime and mask required pins

[merry stirrup]

assuming its the same oem as sf750 probably

[hoary hatch]

My only spare 1151 is for a xeon

[merry stirrup]

yeah exactly

z170's can be had for like 40$, z370 not so much

[hoary hatch]

Ideally I take the working itx parts and print a case/bench

[merry stirrup]

oh thats neat

[hoary hatch]

But currently have a fucked board so there's that

[hoary hatch]

That's too much

[merry stirrup]

assuming it comes with whatever cpu in sokcet

[hoary hatch]

Oo

I see

[brisk jolt]

yes

[hoary hatch]

I'd rather get something like this than spend money on ancient sockets tho

[merry stirrup]

so fair

my interest is more because i havent used that gen

[hoary hatch]

Would you want to buy an 8700k

[merry stirrup]

yes

[hoary hatch]

What's a fair price

[merry stirrup]

not ebay

[hoary hatch]

And an SF600

[merry stirrup]

i will pay the cost of that b760+35$ for the sf600

(100$)

[hoary hatch]

For just the PSU?

Or plus 8700k

[merry stirrup]

no both

i dont really need itx psu so

[hoary hatch]

I see I see

I mean I can probably just keep the PSU

[merry stirrup]

could be nice to have but yeah better 4 u

[brisk jolt]

get a SF1000 and it acts as a 2000w unit

[topaz veldt]

o-mazing

[hoary hatch]

What would you pay for just the cpu

[frank zealot]

Why did you make me look

[merry stirrup]

id pay somewhere between 60 and 80$ for the cpu

[hoary hatch]

I shall consider my options

[merry stirrup]

ebay would be better but im not paying 100+ for an unlocked 6c12t

ebay is like 80-100ish so i think a little under that is fair cause ebay fees

[frank zealot]

I can put a 13400 into a board

[merry stirrup]

yeah

[frank zealot]

A 13400 would make a bitchin nas chip

[hoary hatch]

Floppa can you get un-laid off and salvage some lga1151v2 boards

[merry stirrup]

ecores are kinda useles for nas, so get 12400 instead

[frank zealot]

I have a 13400 out of a dead mini pc

[merry stirrup]

ah ok

[merry stirrup]

i applied for a gaming pc shipping place actually im really hoping i get it

thats's like broken pc galore

cause broken ones surely get shipped back to us

so im gonna call and stuff about it

[turbid locust]

@topaz veldt what were you able to get out of single core freq

[frank zealot]

It seems that our glue machines at work can be bad for some computers.

[merry stirrup]

not as bad as putting epoxy on the computers themselves

[frank zealot]

So I have a dead tiny pc w a working 13400 in it

[merry stirrup]

im looking around so i will let you know fr

[hoary hatch]

Commute down to Medford every day and work at falcon northwest

[frank zealot]

And 100$ for an ITX board is cheap af

[merry stirrup]

what if i just steal your home

and cover it in pc hardware

10-15 boards a couple laptops

6 built pcs

speaking of

[merry stirrup]

for some reason do you need a xeon v3/4 based server/workstation

[frank zealot]

This is also kinda crazy cheap
Psu is a gamdias 650 tho

[merry stirrup]

i'd give it to you/cheap

we could work something like a trade for the 8700K

[hoary hatch]

Definitely not but how many cores

[merry stirrup]

i think theres a 14c in there rn

[hoary hatch]

Oh fun

[merry stirrup]

8 dimm slots, hotswappable psu

draws idk like 30-60w at idle

[hoary hatch]

Yeah I have no use for any of that

[merry stirrup]

fair enough

i dont want it but it wouldnt sell here so

theres an identical one up on marketplace for good pricing and its been there a month

talkin like 60-80$ fair price

[hoary hatch]

Cause who wants one of those 💀

[merry stirrup]

yeah i mean i bought it for home serving

[hoary hatch]

And has it been doing that

[merry stirrup]

yeah it was fine

i swapped to 10700 cause i needed a little more singlethreaded for unoptimized mc mod packs

[hoary hatch]

I'd rather just get a 12400 for home server

Cheap ass DDR4 board

iGPU suitable for transcoding

[pure garnet]

my 265k will replace the 7500t eventually

[hoary hatch]

Or, well, I'd rather just use my 3800x for a home server

[merry stirrup]

i may swap the 10700s and 5700G's place

but the 5700G is not a fully functional cpu so im weary

seems dumb locking an am4 cpu at a static clock long term

[topaz veldt]

haven't really pressed

[turbid locust]

Im having interesting scaling

[topaz veldt]

how so

[turbid locust]

All core wise, i gained way more score from 0 to -10 all core, than I did going from -10 to -30

like it still gained but not nearly as much

single core is even weirder

[merry stirrup]

okay lets run this

so basically

[topaz veldt]

are you overriding boost freq

[turbid locust]

yeah im at +150

[merry stirrup]

youre going to stop gaining freq

[topaz veldt]

yeah don't do that

do a 0 override and see where CO lands

[merry stirrup]

at x point of undervolting because of the ryzen freq curve

and youre only increasing efficiency past whatever

[turbid locust]

single core freq doesnt go up unless i touch boost override

[merry stirrup]

because youre not volt limited

its not a gpu its not going to keep scaling with an undervolt unless you have a poop bin

[turbid locust]

I just did +200 and hit 5.7Ghz

[pure garnet]

unironically aida’s stress test gave me more co trouble than anything else

in regards to stability

[merry stirrup]

because the cpu is switching states

[turbid locust]

im gonna core cycler the fuck out of it for when I do a real tune

[pure garnet]

i ran core cycler and then failed aida

that’s why i only had -15 for daily

[hidden vault]

Guys 3080ti or 4070ti? (Used)

[merry stirrup]

variable load with soc load in background for all core testing
core cycling load with soc load in background for single core testing

[pure garnet]

4070ti is straight up faster, no?

[merry stirrup]

yes

fo sho

cause 3080=4070 and 3080ti is not much faster than a 3080

[hidden vault]

oh wow okay

[turbid locust]

not gonna front I will probably daily this fucker on like +100Mhz and -20 or some shit lol

[merry stirrup]

ryzen cpus just dont llike switching states so much and a gaming load does that the most is my thesis

probably why my 5700G works at all freq's it worked at when it wasnt defective but doesnt work with cstates on

[turbid locust]

ngl this is ready to go into the A3

[merry stirrup]

am5 tuning man

[turbid locust]

the question is do I do this shit rn or wait for another day. I dont want to have the main rig down for an extended amount of time

its 12:30a rn and if I do it im doing it in one sitting

[merry stirrup]

dont you have two computers

[turbid locust]

I have the main rig and the test bench rn

I have no gpu to put in a competent secondary machine

[pure garnet]

just do it another day probably

[merry stirrup]

yeah

[merry stirrup]

just like me fr

[pure garnet]

like i’m still figuring out the logistics of my temporary z890 swap

[turbid locust]

my next best gpu is a gtx 1080

[merry stirrup]

i have a 2070 thing

its like a 2070 sup not super

[pure garnet]

i miss having my spare nvidia cards bc my 6700xt = 1024x768 mpower bios

[merry stirrup]

yeah i like the quadro quite a bit

for the games i play with my friends its fine enough even at 1440p

[hoary hatch]

980
1080ti
Broken 1080ti
A750
B580
All spare

[merry stirrup]

apex is a little eh but 140fps is ok

i want kyokos a750

[hoary hatch]

Oh and I have ewaste spares (Radeon)

[merry stirrup]

WAIT LET ME BUY THAT + 970 RN

how many dollar for the a750 we said

[pure garnet]

hell if i know bro

[merry stirrup]

true

[pure garnet]

oh wait i think i said make me an offer and we like

never followed up on it

[odd sable]

how much for both arc cards?

[merry stirrup]

what theyre 150 on ebay

even hunnid?

not paying for shipping though

[pure garnet]

if they can both fit in the same box sure

[hoary hatch]

Considering I don't want to part with them, $700 + shipping

[pure garnet]

i’ll try tomorrow

[hoary hatch]

Both Intel LE

[pure garnet]

since it’s flat rate shipping isn’t bad

[odd sable]

not worth that to have a second alchemist/battlemage card, but the LEs are what id want

[hoary hatch]

I shall eventually collect a sample of every arc [gaming] GPU

[merry stirrup]

okie sounds good

[pure garnet]

i’m pretty sure floppa is gonna evc my arc card

or do something to it

[merry stirrup]

idk if you can but you can do some interesting pl stuff

[pure garnet]

you may want to ptm swap it before you send crazy power

[odd sable]

ill pay $1 more than floopa for it

[pure garnet]

yeah but floppa already has my autofill

[odd sable]

hard bargain, $2 more

[merry stirrup]

& i am getting rid of his 970 for him too

[odd sable]

ill take another maxwell card

that'd make 12 of them

[turbid locust]

wait i'd have to prep an actual AM5 daily OS and transfer shit. Fuck.

[merry stirrup]

BUY CARTERS

[turbid locust]

Yeah not tonight LMAO

[odd sable]

depending on how you count them

[merry stirrup]

i am paying this guy right now

[pure garnet]

i’m gonna get you bro

[odd sable]

you do realize im being sarcastic, right?

[merry stirrup]

yeah ik

[merry stirrup]

whaaat?!

[hoary hatch]

LE

[odd sable]

i do wanna get a second alchemist and battlemage card at some point

[merry stirrup]

kyokos is an le

[pure garnet]

floppa i’m sitting in bed but i think they’ll fit

[odd sable]

A750 and A770?

[merry stirrup]

its a750 or a580 i forgot

[odd sable]

oh, wait, no, "top" is a B580

[pure garnet]

a750

[hoary hatch]

750 580

[merry stirrup]

oh okay yeah ill pay you

[hoary hatch]

The a750 is nice and weighty

The b580 feels pretty cheap in comparison

[odd sable]

yup, i have an A770 LE and B580 LE

[pure garnet]

you get my awful taken from bed photo

[brisk jolt]

“Can we get a founder’s edition”
“we have a founder’s edition on the sofa”

[merry stirrup]

DO I GET THE BOX

[pure garnet]

if it fits

[merry stirrup]

i respect if not

[pure garnet]

if it fits in a flat rate priority mail box it’s yours

[brisk jolt]

my b580 box got water damaged bcs I didnt have enough space at the time and distilled water leaked out on it

[odd sable]

oof

[brisk jolt]

Its my fault for putting it on the floor but whatever man

[merry stirrup]

i just sent it to the wrong person

[odd sable]

you fucking what?

[merry stirrup]

im gonna kms

[odd sable]

can i join?

[merry stirrup]

it’s thru goods and services anyways it’s fine but damn okay

talking to the guy now let’s hope he responds

wrong person with kyokos name

[pure garnet]

dude sent it to kyoto

[merry stirrup]

😭literally

[hoary hatch]

I need an a770 le

[pure garnet]

floppa funding the 2 apple care plans i accidentally bought

[odd sable]

yea, mine is very not for sale

[merry stirrup]

💀😭yeah if homeboy responds to me

[pure garnet]

is there not just a reverse button on gs

[odd sable]

like, not even for $700

[merry stirrup]

i can do it next week if not but damn what a huge L on my part

[odd sable]

i need the thing

[merry stirrup]

sadly not. i have to wait until august 3rd lol

[pure garnet]

oof

[merry stirrup]

ah okay he responded

[hoary hatch]

LE specifically?

These prices do not spark joy

[odd sable]

technically no i dont need LE specifically, but I do need an alchemist card specifically

[hoary hatch]

A770 16gb will be cheaper in a few years I can wait it out

[odd sable]

my cards are for doing compat/perf testing, so i need everything

and duplicates are very helpful

[merry stirrup]

we GOOOD

[pure garnet]

if you send it to the right person i’ll probably ship it tomorrow

[merry stirrup]

sent back

[pure garnet]

because i have to take my phone to fedex anyway

[hoary hatch]

A750 selling for nearly $200 what the fuck

[brisk jolt]

my aunt will be chilling on a b580 till it dies

its on the ground it’ll die on

[odd sable]

and thats why i dont have a second alchemist card

[hoary hatch]

What if the aunt dies first

[pure garnet]

my grandma is rocking my degraded and delidded 6700k

[odd sable]

i call dibs

[brisk jolt]

it also gets buried as a spare relic

[hoary hatch]

On the corpse?

[odd sable]

no comment

[hoary hatch]

I still need to reassemble this 1080ti

I definitely totally wrote down where all the screws go

And then probably reflash vbios

[pure garnet]

“PROBS the right person” 😭

[merry stirrup]

okay kyoko was that the right person

[hoary hatch]

Hail Mary is replacing the melted 8 pin but my soldering skills are not adequate for real stuff

[pure garnet]

yeah

[merry stirrup]

gahd damn

thank god i didnt sent it to kyoto again

[pure garnet]

kyobo

[merry stirrup]

kyobro

[pure garnet]

i’m really hoping they refund at least one of these though

[merry stirrup]

cant wait to peel off the hotglued backplate

[pure garnet]

i’ll throw the 970 in the mpower to make sure it works

arc still has all the anti static stuff i’m not worried about it

[pure garnet]

dude is buying scrap from my closet

some money beats no money

[merry stirrup]

nah im trollin

[brisk jolt]

should i sell my normal C5

[odd sable]

C5?

[turbid locust]

el gee cee fiev

[merry stirrup]

cant wait to blow up an a750 for no reason

[brisk jolt]

its a lp cooler

[odd sable]

so, not the TV?

[turbid locust]

and an rx480 lmao

[south shuttle]

sounds like next gen C4

[merry stirrup]

and a 970

[south shuttle]

does the cooler explode by any chance

[turbid locust]

[brisk jolt]

its a VC LP cooler with a really shit stock fan

[merry stirrup]

if only you had a nas so you could keep this all the time

[south shuttle]

is it worth selling

[merry stirrup]

there is no cooler with that little thermal mass worth selling

[brisk jolt]

its a really shit cooler for AM5

[turbid locust]

I have a NAS it just has the ram stripped out of it rn lmao

[brisk jolt]

And AM5 is theoretically the meta rn here

[south shuttle]

you will be prob not able to sell it due to people generally giving stock coolers away for free

including mi

get noob @brisk jolt i ruin your business

[brisk jolt]

i just dont think its worth the effort to sell

[livid flame]

It’s a grandparents scam sell that one

[brisk jolt]

its just laying around

[hoary hatch]

Please don't

[merry stirrup]

booo

[merry stirrup]

y not

[livid flame]

DDR3?

[south shuttle]

you can always sell it for copper

[merry stirrup]

its d4

i dont want someones blown up 1060 3gb tho

[hoary hatch]

Damn

[merry stirrup]

look at it

[livid flame]

Boom. Scalping eyes are set. That’s $54 profit right there

[hoary hatch]

The $15 GTX 960 sold

[merry stirrup]

do you want this 20$ 10603gb and a 16gb stick of crucial ddr4

[livid flame]

He just wants the ddr4

No one wants the 1060

[merry stirrup]

he wanted a 960

[south shuttle]

you guys are dirteh scalper have shame

[livid flame]

The 3gb one is garbage. I’d rather have the 960

[merry stirrup]

kyokos a reverse scalper bro

just gives me shit

[south shuttle]

very bad he ruin the artificial economy

for some reason this reminded me when the german economy was so bad they started forcing manufacturers to make obsolete goods

just to keep people employed

[hoary hatch]

I found another $15 960

[merry stirrup]

yo same model im getting of 970

[hoary hatch]

Not a FTW, do I even want it

[merry stirrup]

why doy ou want maxwell

[hoary hatch]

And it's probably 2gb

[merry stirrup]

oh its an ftw i got an SSC loser

[hoary hatch]

I could try Maxwell SLI to have experienced SLI

[south shuttle]

super slow card

[hoary hatch]

Except I don't have a low bandwidth bridge

[merry stirrup]

do you have a 970

[hoary hatch]

No

[merry stirrup]

damn

[hoary hatch]

980 tho

[merry stirrup]

dont have one of those

[hoary hatch]

damn

R7 240 or something

[merry stirrup]

thats crossfire

[hoary hatch]

It ran crossfire with an apu

[merry stirrup]

i have an HD 4 series card

[merry stirrup]

yeah my first ever amd exp was on one

[hoary hatch]

We have some ancient slot powered Radeon things

[merry stirrup]

i had a 6800K

[hoary hatch]

I think one has S video

[merry stirrup]

yeah

[hoary hatch]

Ugh

[livid flame]

Description “just come and get it”. The lads gonna give it for free if you ask

[hoary hatch]

Do I want to cross the Willamette for a stupid 960

[merry stirrup]

NEED MORE HARDWARE

[hoary hatch]

But it's across the river

[south shuttle]

or… he’ll not negotiate even for $5 less xd

[livid flame]

That $15 is just shipping costs he wants rid of it

[cosmic gazelle]

I got a gt 630 and a 1gb sodimm of ddr2. take it or leave it

[merry stirrup]

i threw away faster yesterday

[cosmic gazelle]

i also have a partially defective h87 board that sucks and i hate

what about that

[merry stirrup]

dont have haswell

[cosmic gazelle]

it has a locked i5-4670. should be fun to do absolutely nothing with

[merry stirrup]

yeah blow it up with setfsb

[cosmic gazelle]

enlighten me

[merry stirrup]

enlighten yourself

more of a core 2/ffirst gen core i thing

[hoary hatch]

Okay okay

What would I do with a pair of EVGA GTX 960 4gb

And no regular SLI bridges

[merry stirrup]

retro rig with a 3770K?

[cosmic gazelle]

meanie

[hoary hatch]

I could blow up the 15$ one

Can you even give a 960 enough power to kill it

[merry stirrup]

yes

you can mod maxwell its not bios locked

[cosmic gazelle]

you can probably shunt any gpu if you try hard enough

[hoary hatch]

Cause I want to not kill my 960 for nostalgia sake

[merry stirrup]

not amd ones cause they dont measure via shunts

[merry stirrup]

then youre good , i dont think youd blow it up on stock unless its already on its way out

[cosmic gazelle]

amd gpus aren’t real it’s like wyoming

[merry stirrup]

i agree

[cosmic gazelle]

everyone says it exists yet no one is from there

[merry stirrup]

im buying an arc card instead of a 6600xt

[hoary hatch]

I could go pick up a pair of EVGA 970s

[merry stirrup]

im getting an evga 970 if you wait

[cosmic gazelle]

would shunting a gt 630 do literally anything if it already artifacts after hitting a certain frequency through afterburner

[merry stirrup]

an SSC

i wont want it but it may be a lil modded but

more fun

[hoary hatch]

I bought the dumbest 960

[merry stirrup]

plan to do like a voltage readout mod

with a lil segmented display

[cosmic gazelle]

wait floppa

[hoary hatch]

Nice

[merry stirrup]

+analog voltage control

so if you want it for shipping when im done you can have

[merry stirrup]

youre not power limted

[cosmic gazelle]

project for you you take the ddr3 vram on my 630 and learn to ball solder gddr6x onto it

[merry stirrup]

rather the silicon

[cosmic gazelle]

yeah

it’s also mostly memory bandwidth because it’s ddr3, sliding the memory frequency all the way gives a 1:1 linear framerate increase

[young void]

[cosmic gazelle]

it’s actually the only card i’ve ever seen where that’s true

[merry stirrup]

display like this roman card but not gross

gonna like really try and do it properly

so itll be like glued in place and allat

[odd sable]

i think thats a german card, not a roman one

[merry stirrup]

cut to length wires

[cosmic gazelle]

does anyone ever take a gpu die and solder it on to their own custom pcb they designed or is that impossible

[merry stirrup]

chinese people all the time

how do you think 4090 48gb's are possible

[odd sable]

only 48GB?

i thought they did 96GB

[cosmic gazelle]

cuz like what if you took a AD103 and designed a low profile pcb for it and just made the cooler like 4 slots tall

[turbid locust]

GN did a tour of a place in China that did custom 4090s

[merry stirrup]

yes they do that to o but requires not 2 4090s worth of vram but using higher density chips period

[cosmic gazelle]

i love the chinese mobile 4090 that is a desktop gpu

[merry stirrup]

imo, less practical idk

[cosmic gazelle]

very intriguing

[odd sable]

well, you'd need more vram regardless

so, take two 4090s, make one 48GB, and one 96GB

[merry stirrup]

yeah but then you need 2 4090s LOL

2 working 4090s

[odd sable]

you need 2 4090s of vram anyway

[merry stirrup]

yeah a core is a lot more expensive than ram

[odd sable]

yes, but if done in mass

[cosmic gazelle]

have you guys seen that company that supposedly is designing their own gpu architecture

i doubt it but it would be cool

[merry stirrup]

moore threads orhwatever? its ass

https://en.mthreads.com/product/S80
nah its real

its jst ass

no redeeming qualities

slower than a 1060 at like 3x ppower draw or something

i think this was real tho

[cosmic gazelle]

no not that

[hoary hatch]

How

[cosmic gazelle]

this

[hoary hatch]

4090 should be 48gb max

[merry stirrup]

bruhski idk idk if its real

[cosmic gazelle]

sounds like snake oil but who knows

[merry stirrup]

double density chips + backside vram

[hoary hatch]

G6X should top out at 2gb modules

[merry stirrup]

this is what i heard which makes me think its likely not real

also only saw articles of it

[hoary hatch]

It's not real

[merry stirrup]

nobody has bought one

[hoary hatch]

Unless they have a way to feed 4 modules per channel

[merry stirrup]

like og xbox mods? aint no way

g6x prolly require too much signal integrity to use any form of like adaptor board

[turbid locust]

96GB GTX 1080Ti, go.

[cosmic gazelle]

this company hasn’t actually put out any proof of concept but for all intents and purposes they are a real company, so it’ll be cool to see if they actually develop a real product

[merry stirrup]

no hope for anyone but the big 3

[turbid locust]

get warshipped nerd

[cosmic gazelle]

gonna crash out

[turbid locust]

Charge your phone

[cosmic gazelle]

hey this 15% will last me at least another 20 minutes

[pure garnet]

your phone gets 2 hours? of sot

[cosmic gazelle]

i’m exaggerating because it’s pretty bad these days

i’ll delete it if you actually think a mod will have a problem with that ss

awesome

[merry stirrup]

meow

damn bdie is up to 80$

[cosmic gazelle]

floppa do you know why my type c on my front panel hasn’t worked since i built my pc even tho i plugged it in

[merry stirrup]

broken

[cosmic gazelle]

brand new motherbaord brah

[pure garnet]

not plugged in right probably

[cosmic gazelle]

i use two type c ports at any given time basically never so i've just never bothered to check

[merry stirrup]

true

i use it constantly

i run 2 usb-cs to my mic, my keeb is usb-c, my mouse is,

[cosmic gazelle]

my pc also faces backwards because it's to my left and i don't want my front panel facing away from me lol

so the rear io is always more convenient

[merry stirrup]

weird

my pc is under my desk to my right

i look at it sometimes ish

[cosmic gazelle]

i turned the lights on my aio off because the color isn't calibrated correctly and it didn't match the shade of my gpu and fans lol

[merry stirrup]

mines just red

[cosmic gazelle]

also as my keyboard continues to age the blue led on a couple keys at a time go out

it's pretty funny looking tbh

random keys are just red instead of purple

[merry stirrup]

can i even evc a 970

i might fr have to do volt mod stuff

[fervent scaffold]

I gotta say, Im kinda impressed with this Asus A31 case for $70. Start of my wifes build while the rest comes in the mail

[turbid locust]

nightmare blunt case

[brisk jolt]

that looks boring af icl

[fervent scaffold]

Less boring than my Phanteks xt pro

Its also all used parts of fb marketplace just trying to get her something thatll run her bland games pretty solid

I ordered new fans, psu, and aio tho

And the case

[merry stirrup]

i may rob my gfs 3080 and replace with the a750

[fervent scaffold]

Thats what i just put in that lol. Used 3080 for $300

Not a great deal. But not bad

[merry stirrup]

she has my modded one ive had for a couple years

but she doesnt need allat esp with a modded card i think the a750 may be nicer for her

more visually pleasing

[cosmic gazelle]

how’s she supposed to run stardew valley on ultra pro max settings

[merry stirrup]

with a 5700G igpu

[cosmic gazelle]

you’d be surprised, any intel core series mobile integrated graphics can handle it lol

potentially going back to core 2 era

[modest gazelle]

Howdy, I made a backup of my Windows with Macrium Reflect before trying another OS, that I didn't keep. I then proceed to restore Windows partitions with Macrium Reflect, and it boots just fine... until I do shutdown or reboot. It won't boot anymore. This is the 5th I restore, every single time, I cannot shutdown or reboot or Windows won't boot again. It says error 0xc000000e "needs to be repaired". Can't access the Recovery environment. Even though the partition is there. Why only one boot that works fine and then it breaks? I never had this issue with Macrium and the dozens of backups / clones I created.

Something gets messed up in the EFI or Recovery partition because if I only restore these two (fast to do), Windows boots again. I'm currently attempting a "upgrade install" (or what it's called)

in-place upgrade, my bad

[flint citrus]

They want $900

[merry stirrup]

@pure garnet if i did this nobody would be mad right

[livid flame]

That actually looks kinda nice

Good luck cleaning it from dust though

[merry stirrup]

yeah

real

if its going in my gfs pc idk true

im gonna mod it quite a bit

a weird but doable mod

plan to do it more permanently casuse idk about resale value anyways

[livid flame]

A nice secure clip for easy cleaning and it will do nicely

[merry stirrup]

idk i think im gonna do it nicer

just glue the pots to the backplate or something

[merry stirrup]

okay i got some voltage displays for the gpus

gonna do it on all of them i think for fun

[signal timber]

What gpu is that

[manic sigil]

Oh, GPU moding still alive

[civic reef]

@woven adder Can't commission art for my sona it seems, guy isn't responding 💔

[woven adder]

Hm

[woven adder]

Now what?

[civic reef]

I don't know

They seemed like the only artist who I could commission for a decent price, and had a nice artstyle

[woven adder]

There are tons of artists

But it's really hard to trust people

In Digital world

[civic reef]

Thing is, I can't pay in a normal manner

The artist is in a roblox game server I am also in, which I assume means they're okay with using robux as payment

I was planning to ask if they're willing to accept a $10 giftcard code as payment

Very stupid, I know, but it was worth a shot

Currently just still waiting for them to accept my friend request, if they ever do

[woven adder]

Ok

[woven adder]

This art, is it hand drawn or made with computer?

[civic reef]

Digital art

[woven adder]

Have you tried AI?

[civic reef]

... I'd rather not use AI

[woven adder]

Give me a script for the art

Give it a chance

[civic reef]

I respectfully have to refuse. I really don't want AI to be used for my character

[woven adder]

Ok

[pallid apex]

whats yalls fav weight placement in the g502 hero?

[pallid apex]

ai art is NOT real art

[woven adder]

Actually

Art is art

[pallid apex]

art is art but ai "art" is a soulless piece of art

i cant even call it art

it js takes images on the internet and mixes it together

what is art without effort?

[woven adder]

I get what you are saying but

What I mean to say is that something is better than nothing

That's all

[pallid apex]

true but honestly imo that something isnt a good piece of art

ai makes so many mistakes

[topaz veldt]

Art is anything

[woven adder]

Now that's a different topic

[pallid apex]

i suppose

[fringe vigil]

Yo Arthur

[pallid apex]

but to me personally ai "art" is just stolen art

[topaz veldt]

stolen from what

[pallid apex]

LENNY!!!!!

[pallid apex]

ai takes images from online and uses them

[fringe vigil]

Yaright Boah

[woven adder]

I wouldn't call it stolen but I would call it free

[woven adder]

And there is nothing wrong with that

As long as they are public property not stolen from you or anyone

[pallid apex]

real people who spend effort on their art end up having their art copied and used by AI. idk abt u but if i were in their position i would feel quite sad having my art turned into a soulless abomination

[topaz veldt]

I feel like an argument is going on without a stance

[pallid apex]

yea ai art is a weird topic

some may like it

some may not

[woven adder]

Too bad the artist have to change there ways

[pallid apex]

they cant rlly do much as long as they want to show their art to the world ai will use it

[woven adder]

But AI doesn't have the brain 🧠

So irl humans artists will be ahead

If they know what they are doing

[pallid apex]

i dont get what u mean

how would they be "ahead"?

[woven adder]

Wdym

[woven adder]

AI can't get ideas from thin air you can

[pallid apex]

true

[woven adder]

But you gotta be willing to change

[pallid apex]

even if u change

ai will change too

itll use new art

[woven adder]

So?

Keep changing

[pallid apex]

in the end no matter how much artists change ai will still steal their art

[woven adder]

Are you an artist?

[pallid apex]

imagine this

u hang the mona lisa on a wall and dont add security measures

now if it gets stolen and retrieved

[woven adder]

Btw humans too steal art

[pallid apex]

but all u do is change where u hang it

itll still get stolen

[fringe vigil]

Dutchhh

He’s a rat

[pallid apex]

hes a rat dutchhhh

[fringe vigil]

You know it I know it

[pallid apex]

he talked

[fringe vigil]

I gave you all I hadddd

i did

Is rdr2 your fav game noir

[pallid apex]

yuh

[woven adder]

It's a very complicated topic it's communicated well when people are face to face

Not in chat

[pallid apex]

i suppose but ai companies are losing money so i doubt AI will stick around till next year

[pallid apex]

300 hrs on it

[woven adder]

It will

[fringe vigil]

First time?

[woven adder]

Trust me

[pallid apex]

only time will tell

[topaz veldt]

helllo raider

[reef lance]

Art is a thermal paste frowny face on a CPU

[topaz veldt]

So I made friends with this local business, we'll call it, and the dude is chill and always interested in buying Dell R740 and newer servers

he's not a reseller he actually uses them in his business... but dude has been hassling me for memory for like 4 months

Back when he needed RAM I told him I'd prob be getting some and would let him know when I do. Well I didn't let him know because when we talked, the DIMMs were like $25-32/ea and he was on a budget.

[devout ridge]

if he ever stops hassling lemme know, that way i can start hassling you

[topaz veldt]

So he hit me up a week ago and is like hey do you have memory, and I do, and he's like "I would love like 512GB for my {non-profit} company can we do like $500?"

And like... that was a loose "for a non-profit, charitable business" price from me in like... July/August

[devout ridge]

i'm a non-profit non-organization

Not a formal quote this dude is lowkey

I have all but told him "Dude prices went up I can't sell 512GB for $500"

English is not his native language - but I think he's leaning on that - he's like "OK sounds good, so please let me know when you can provide the memory"

Should should I send him a $2,000 quote for 16 DIMMs and see if he pays it?

Like I dunno how else to tell him its not going to be $500

[devout ridge]

Why not, might as well

send him an ebay listing for the dimms he's talking about

[topaz veldt]

I actually semi want to just sell 300 DIMMs to another guy I know

One and done

[devout ridge]

"Hey best i can do is 2k on those dimms, if you went online it'd be [insert however much it would be]"

[topaz veldt]

Yeah I did that lol - he's doing the whole "Yeah I am interested in the memory we talked about last year"

"Yes at $2000 now" "Yeah the ones from last year please"

He's playing the "oh I don't know I was confused" I think

bro is trying to take advantage of my niceness and lean on his naivity

Here lies dudes hopes and dreams

"Hello, this is Dumbfuckery National Bank, is this Travis John?"
.... No
"Did you open an account at Dumbfuckery National Bank?"
I've never heard of you.
"Okay, thank you."

Any bets on if they call back again?

[steel stream]

charge him 4000

[frank zealot]

around 4k is probably the going rate for 16x 32GB DDR4 RDIMMS

[livid flame]

Send him the quote and then tell him to check tech news on ram prices

And maybe offer to source some used

Or wait, is that sourcing used the quote?

[frank zealot]

that is used price

DDR4 isn't produced in any notably quantities anymore

[stark dew]

Check Digikey or Mouser, they sell DDR4 chiplets and will say whether it's discontinued or not

[frank zealot]

damn, that's actually a really good collection of games:

the only one there I don't know at all is Battle Shapers

[cosmic gazelle]

heard we were discussing the eventual downfall of ai

[turbid locust]

If you ain’t got no money take your broke ass home

[cosmic gazelle]

how is iceberg managing to hit 90c on a 3600 in his latest video

i feel like even a stock cooler shouldn't do that

[hoary hatch]

Okay imma try to buy some ewaste for $10

[turbid locust]

Real

[wise bear]

dude

ai is fucking powerful

im bullshitting w/ this one guy and we started talking about jewish people

and so I made some dumb comment about how we were the only two people in the sim

aw wtf i cant link suno songs :(

[cosmic gazelle]

@merry stirrup got a deal for ya

(this person lives in mexico and means pesos i just thought it was funny)

[turbid locust]

I thought it wouldn’t be so hard to find modded/test bios’ for a motherboard only released in China but here we are

if one of you wizards find a not outdated test bios for a z790 AYW OC please hook a brother up

[shell void]

the brand new x870e dark hero is down to $500 in this bundle

[pure garnet]

thought it wouldn’t?

[shell void]

there’s also this bundle with 2x16 6400cl32-39 1.4v memory

[slim pebble]

It looks so much nicer than the regular hero IMO

[shell void]

i fully agree, i think it’s the prettiest am5 board

[pure garnet]

it just has too many dimm slots

[turbid locust]

No the Chinese go ham on custom bios’ bro

[pure garnet]

did any big name ocers have that board

[fervent chasm]

The too good to be true pc is on its way

[turbid locust]

I’m sure Jiacheng probably touched one at one point, I could DM him

[pure garnet]

yeah that was my guess if anyone had a clue

would be someone near the cn oc scene

[fervent chasm]

I can’t wait to get a brick

[turbid locust]

Either him or Sugi but I don’t know Sugi that well

[fervent chasm]

18.5 lbs that’s pretty underweight

[edgy laurel]

lets hope its not a brick

[fervent chasm]

Yah but already bad signs

Way underweight for that kind of case

Also dimensions aren’t accurate

Unless they listed it incorrectly to pay less for shipping or something but I doubt that

[edgy laurel]

buyer protections to fall back on?

[fervent chasm]

fbmp shipping and CC

[edgy laurel]

ok

thats good, at least

[pseudo flume]

question

[fervent chasm]

Yah I at the minimum use a CC for charge backs

[pseudo flume]

how bad is the Intel stock cooler
