[fervent chasm]

It’s built for the cpu

[pseudo flume]

I have a Id cooling frozn a620 pro se otw but my pc sounded like a blender and crashed

I was playing cyberpunk on path tracing

is it safe to continue playing with the stock cooler or should I wait till the new cooler arrive?

[fervent chasm]

It will be safe anyway since it will shut off on its own if it’s too hot or thermal throttle but if it’s constantly thermal throttling better to wait

[pseudo flume]

temps are around 80c-90c

it does get stuttery after awhile even if it can play smoothly for the first hour or so

[fervent chasm]

Well they’re built to run 100c so that’s probably fine for a bit

[pseudo flume]

I'll try

I should probably get a case as well..

[frank zealot]

Coworker asked me to look at a Laptop.

N95 chip. Oh no

That can barely youtube at this point

And it's running win11

[devout ridge]

screwdriver

be careful not to scratch the pcb

[junior slate]

I was thinking to use one but its such a small gap and my whole motherboard js flexing

[devout ridge]

push gpu all the way in first

don’t pull on the gpu while trying to unlock

[junior slate]

It should be in all the way though? Ive never taken it out before

[devout ridge]

yesn’t

just push the gpu in firmly before trying to unlock (not while trying to unlock)

[junior slate]

Ohhh okay let me try that

Still nothing

Thing is my other lock isn't like this at all and switches very easily

[snow holly]

Should it click after pressing or no

[devout ridge]

yes

i'm not gonna tell someone to keep a piece of shit running an N95

that's just punishing them

[junior slate]

It doesn't even click when I press it

@woven adder Artist responded YAY

[low sorrel]

Lol what

https://futurism.com/space/reddit-deleted-photo-nasa-astronaut-blurry

[pliant prawn]

Least blurry image I’ve seen in a while from space idk man

[edgy laurel]

@frank zealot so that thread is gone, about the issue

or i can't find it in the sub

but maybe we're current again?

[topaz veldt]

watch your mouth

[topaz veldt]

are you even surprised?

[slim pebble]

Neither are as pretty as the Apex with the 1DPC slots.

[topaz veldt]

Apex is not a good looking board

[slim pebble]

It is. It’s got a very clean industrial look

[topaz veldt]

Nah comparatively, especially in hand. It is well. It's an xoc motherboard

I don't believe there's a back plate. The i o panel is basically just extruded aluminum

[shell void]

dark hero definitely looks better than the apex

[topaz veldt]

Yeah dark hero definitely looks better than in Apex

[shell void]

i don’t like the art on the original hero but i can believe that it feels nicer than the apex

[topaz veldt]

Yeah to be honest if you guys picked up an apex board knowing its price tag you would not leave the store with it

[shell void]

the apex is basically the quality of a -E board but with an upcharge for not soldering on two extra dimm slots

similar i/o as well

[hybrid compass]

My monitor keeps turning black for a few seconds at a time. Is there a way to check my theory that this is the moment my PC 'forgets' my turned off television?

[shell void]

i like the idea of a no frills OC focused board but not for $700

[topaz veldt]

The capacitors are awesome though

@turbid locust https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/cpus/binning-results-from-13-ryzen-7-9850x3ds-prove-that-the-cpu-is-purely-an-overclocked-9800x3d-from-the-factory-9850x3d-looks-similar-to-9800x3d-just-with-higher-voltages

[slim pebble]

What’s awesome about them?

[topaz veldt]

Caps around the socket vs

[slim pebble]

This.. makes me wonder why a 1.299v chip got a 121 SP rating instead of 120

[topaz veldt]

the SP rating comes from the chip not the board

What CPU you talking

[slim pebble]

Sample four

[slim pebble]

I thought 2 would be the best bin no?

[low sorrel]

No

[topaz veldt]

I think thats an error

[frank zealot]

gyah!!!

i did message them but i'll just tell them that ur interested instead

i did it just in case

[low sorrel]

inb4 someone offers over asking and fucks me over

[frank cypress]

meh

[low sorrel]

happened a week ago for me

[frank cypress]

i hope people have integrity

i've taken lower prices to prioritize people who messaged first

because i prefer to work on first come first serve

[hoary hatch]

I'd pay $400 USD, send me the link

[frank cypress]

local and cash only lol

if you're willing to travel up here

[hoary hatch]

BC?

[frank cypress]

yep

[hoary hatch]

I've been needing to do a BC road trip

[topaz veldt]

Go Canada!

[low sorrel]

I legit waited for this fucker new gpu to ship and he sold it to someone who offered 50 bucks more then me and didn't even let me counter

im not mad

[hoary hatch]

I've been told the Costco poutine is mid

[low sorrel]

it is

[hoary hatch]

But I don't care, I need to try it

[frank cypress]

on the ventus?

[topaz veldt]

isnt poutine just french fries with bullshit on it

[frank cypress]

it is

[hoary hatch]

I can have multiple poutines

[edgy laurel]

mmm poutine

[hoary hatch]

But Costco food court will be one of them

[frank cypress]

basically canadian animal fries

[low sorrel]

no it was on a asus dual 4070

[frank cypress]

costco fries hit tho true

[frank cypress]

oh we could've been twins

[topaz veldt]

Is poutine Canada's brand?

[low sorrel]

this is poutine

[frank cypress]

it's basically all we're known for in terms of cuisine

[topaz veldt]

that looks like something a public school would serve 5th graders

[hoary hatch]

I love a good slop

[topaz veldt]

thats so sad

[frank cypress]

hey it may be sloppy but it is hard to hate

gravy, fries and cheese

[low sorrel]

don't hate it until you try it

[low sorrel]

peak of healthy eating

[topaz veldt]

Thats like "I drank natty ice since 2PM, its 3AM, lets find something in the fridge" food

[hoary hatch]

Why would you drink water

[low sorrel]

im pretty sure alot of canadian food just became amercian food overtime lmao

[frank cypress]

does it? never heard of americans talking about beaver tails

[edgy laurel]

good poutine is

[hoary hatch]

What

[low sorrel]

no theres amercian food that was orginally invented in canada

[frank cypress]

such as?

[low sorrel]

hawaiian pizza

[frank cypress]

oh i guess california rolls were canadian

if i remember right

[low sorrel]

yeah

[edgy laurel]

is that american food? Thats just bad food, everywhere

and they do it all over the place

[frank cypress]

lmaoooo

[low sorrel]

bad food amercian food same thing

[frank cypress]

ok i know people hate hawaiian pizza but it's not that bad

[edgy laurel]

you're not wrong

[low sorrel]

surprisingly not

[frank cypress]

will i choose it over other options? no, but i'll take it if someone offered it to me

[tepid mason]

any good steam games i have 24 euros and 30 cents

[low sorrel]

ngl i think i would pick off the pineapple and eat it and then eat the pizza

[edgy laurel]

like 50 % of my youtube watching is food and world travel related, believe me they have that shit everywhere

in fact i'll be in Italy in September, i'm going to find it there and send you a picture

[low sorrel]

order it from an traditional pizza place :p

[tepid mason]

italy kinda boring

[tepid mason]

go to movie land

there

[low sorrel]

if i was to go to italy i would probably be hitting up a bunch of countries in the eu as well

[tepid mason]

i live in the eu and italy is pretty basic

[frank cypress]

exciting, where to?

[edgy laurel]

TBH, not really a trip I wanna do necessarily but after like a 20 year hiatus my parents have decided they want to go somehwere with a whole bunch of family again.

So, off we go.

[edgy laurel]

I really don't even know, if i'm honest. East coast is as descriptive as I've been told.

[low sorrel]

You gonna go elsewhere in the EU or just italy

[wraith steeple]

It's been almost 17 years since we've been overseas

[edgy laurel]

afaik, just Italy

i'm not involved at all in the planning of this trip

I'm just along for the ride

My parents have been there.. shit man 10-15 times

weird obsession if you ask me, when there is so much more of Europe to see

[low sorrel]

God damn

[tepid mason]

like austria

[edgy laurel]

like anywhere else lol

[tepid mason]

my home country

[frank cypress]

nice

surprises are fun

[low sorrel]

Are you sure?

[wraith steeple]

I see my birth country in this pic

[edgy laurel]

but as far as objectives are concerned, find pineapple on pizza as a menu item in Italy and send a picture to jerry

[wraith steeple]

[low sorrel]

They will have it

[frank cypress]

wait no, iraq?

[wraith steeple]

[frank cypress]

👀

[tepid mason]

I lowkey want a meshify 2 c but its 150€😭

[low sorrel]

It's like how there's amercian Chinese food in china

[frank cypress]

but why, when you already have a north

which i'd argue is nicer

[edgy laurel]

speaking of chinese food in other countries.. one stands above all for the worst

[tepid mason]

The wood i grey

[low sorrel]

Because it's southward in quality 🥁

[tepid mason]

Not saturated or with like a cool wood pattern

[frank cypress]

true

mine is built like shit

the back panel is all warped

from factory, btw lmao

[low sorrel]

Man now I want dim sum

[tepid mason]

And all black pc cases have like a tint thats so dark i could just buy the non glass version its so anoying

[low sorrel]

Ennui I'm down between BCIT and langara right now do you know any good Chinese food places over there

[edgy laurel]

hot take, fractal has too many similar cases.

(new) Pop
Epoch
Meshify
North

Basically all serving the same market

[turbid locust]

Yeah I saw this. His gear 2 results are really skewed though. Seems crazy high but it’s literally because dudes running a 20c chiller

[wraith steeple]

Not a hot take really

[low sorrel]

Like the aerospace campus of BCIT

[turbid locust]

but literally all of them are so close in SP

[low sorrel]

The epoch?

[tepid mason]

just the north without wood

[edgy laurel]

https://www.fractal-design.com/products/cases/epoch/epoch/black-tg-rgb-light-tint/

[tepid mason]

and the sizes are mostly the same

[edgy laurel]

yeah, is that just a north

[wraith steeple]

I thought it was the Meshify 3 for a sec

[low sorrel]

That's a meshify

[edgy laurel]

exactly my point lol

[low sorrel]

But more flat

[tepid mason]

nope

[edgy laurel]

vs

slightly different font

[topaz veldt]

[turbid locust]

https://tenor.com/view/the-boys-s4-homelander-cough-disgust-gif-15540398707739933423

[low sorrel]

Sir that's a pop air

[wraith steeple]

But does the 207 have the option to mount a 5.25 ODD?

[odd sable]

but the mesh at the front makes the rgb fans look bad
FTFY

[low sorrel]

That's a pop air

[tepid mason]

nah

[wraith steeple]

Well?....

[topaz veldt]

@turbid locust you hang out in hwbot/etc. more - is SP121 the highest for 9850X3D?

[turbid locust]

I haven’t seen one higher no

[topaz veldt]

that list in Toms article from Sugi/etc. have 121

[turbid locust]

Yeah

seems like most are 120-121

[topaz veldt]

so I did alright

[pure garnet]

is the 9850x3d sp scores a new table or the same table as 9800x3d

[topaz veldt]

different scale

[turbid locust]

yeah so not comparable really

[topaz veldt]

Out of 13 they got a single 121, nice

FS: $900

[turbid locust]

I would like to know what yours does Gear 2

[topaz veldt]

I'd have to get it out of the hotbox

[turbid locust]

mine seems very happy at 8200 and could probably bench higher

[topaz veldt]

I'll have to try your settings later

[turbid locust]

how are thermals an issue

[topaz veldt]

whatcha mean

I don't want to do 8200 loose

[low sorrel]

Why not

[topaz veldt]

I am already running 8000 36

[turbid locust]

I mean I’m gonna daily 8200 c38

cas latency does not matter 5nail it’s just for the screenshot lmao

you might have to play with ProcODT pull up and down but that should be it. You using the 6000c26 H16A kit?

[topaz veldt]

H24M

[turbid locust]

hmmm all the resistance funny business I know is for H16A

[topaz veldt]

yah i am auto

[turbid locust]

if it works on auto it works on auto

8200 worked on auto on retail bios on my gene but Mpower did not just work

I copied terms from the Gene and then it worked lol

Asus buff fr

[turbid locust]

Holy tRFC Batman

set that shit to 600 lmao

[topaz veldt]

I just autod to boot

[pure garnet]

bro got that 1 second refresh

672 is what people rec for h24m 8000 though

[turbid locust]

H24M can do 140ns no?

600 at 8200 is 146ns

I could be trippin

[pure garnet]

160

[turbid locust]

oh

[pure garnet]

is the guideline at least

[turbid locust]

ok do tRFC 657 then @topaz veldt

congratz on the promotion king

[edgy laurel]

i'll just have to buy one of 5nail spares

[frank zealot]

Gratz on the bump

[topaz veldt]

Congrats guilty

[edgy laurel]

thanks. i dunno what they were thinking but i'm here for it

[low sorrel]

When are they gonna tack on VP

[uneven bane]

I picked a bad time to buy new servers actually looking at pricing of ddr4 for the fist time in over a year and ouch these prices hurt

[frank zealot]

We're looking at a new vm server at work and I'm expecting it to have 5-6k in memory

Nevermind storage or anything else

[uneven bane]

I saw a steal on barebones Dell R440 so it's a good upgrade from 12th Gen servers. But looking at 32gb stick pricing RN to get the same capacity in ddr4 that I currently have in ddr3 is worth more than my entire rack

Well maybe not but it's close

[frank zealot]

Yup. And ddr5 is triple or so ddr4

[pure garnet]

Congrats!

[spiral quarry]

Lol tis gonna be a expensive year for equipment cycles at my old work that I somehow do part time now

[brave panther]

https://tenor.com/view/me-atrapaste-es-cine-its-cinema-cinema-esto-es-cine-gif-17729711691959966457

congrats

[spiral quarry]

Not all at once but in batches depending on what months each laptop/mini desktop is needed to be swapped out.

Maybe servers also but that's tbd.

[frank zealot]

I'm expecting way too much money

[uneven bane]

I'm looking at 2-3k in these two servers alone and thats without storage as thats gone crazy in price too. I'm also just cheap as heck and dont like to part with money so that doesnt help

[frank zealot]

Hot much ram you adding

[uneven bane]

gonna aim for 192gb per server as thats what my current Proxmox cluster runs but I also need cpus for the Machines

these are my buy once cry once for the next several years

[brave panther]

smol

[spiral quarry]

Lol from the looks of it ITs spending is getting close to what procurement negotiates with growers.

[topaz veldt]

@edgy laurel 5090 when

[frank zealot]

Oof

[brave panther]

this year i have budget for core switches 🤑

[uneven bane]

yeah, realistically it will be 64 gb per server at first and then slowly add memory over time

[frank zealot]

We have a vm server running win server 2016 which goes eol in a year

So we have to replace it this year

[brave panther]

what is the physical host?

[frank zealot]

2016 lol

[uneven bane]

OOF 2019 and newer charge per core or per 2 cores so... have fun on licensing

[frank zealot]

We know. It's insane

[brave panther]

no no, i mean dell xxx. proliant xxx etc

[frank zealot]

Lenovo R.... something. Idr offhand

[brave panther]

2011v3 or something newer

[topaz veldt]

Old

[frank zealot]

Lemme look

[topaz veldt]

@uneven bane

[spiral quarry]

dear lord yea I think we had the same, but a mix of dell and hp. The only remaining servers are the ones at HQ and another plant. Otherwise everything has been moved to azure.

Part if the companies plan to go fully to the cloud.

[edgy laurel]

this is making me chuckle more than it should https://packaged-media.redd.it/x31x3fe7wggg1/pb/m2-res_720p.mp4?m=DASHPlaylist.mpd&v=1&e=1770260400&s=7ef13bb45f1d4f3048e1a9e6532f04355ee84582

[brave panther]

mmm

[spiral quarry]

So maybe the remaining servers will stay a little longer or be taken out of service

[uneven bane]

My current cluster runs LGA1356 cant wait to upgrade to cascade lake

[jaunty storm]

@brave panther i used a mini pc as a proxmox server last year for my college project last yr

[topaz veldt]

What do you mean

[brave panther]

[topaz veldt]

No. I don't host customers

That's one cluster at work

no, but it does run on a SteamDeck/handheld

[topaz veldt]

i dont want to buy antoher thing i wont use though

[shell void]

need panther lake handheld

[edgy laurel]

surprised you've never picked up a steamdeck just to fuck around with it

[cosmic gazelle]

need someone to make a trimmed ps5 board that fits a handheld

[topaz veldt]

i bought that steam box thing and a steam controller

[edgy laurel]

it needs a Steam Deck 2 at this point. its old

[brave panther]

wait, those are not yet for purchase

[topaz veldt]

nah the old thing

[cosmic gazelle]

i don’t think i would buy a steam deck 2 unless it was an architecture or translation layer that i knew could launch any game i wanted to

[brave panther]

alienware thingie

[edgy laurel]

like the SteamLink streaming box?

[topaz veldt]

ya

[edgy laurel]

Oh yeah, they were giving those away at one point

[topaz veldt]

it didn't work very well

controller was terrible

[uneven bane]

honestly I'd like to see a new steam deck with panther lake even though I know steamOS is being developed mostly for AMD hardware

[edgy laurel]

fun fact my first playthrough of Witcher 3 was on my old 55" 1080p TV on the couch streamed over wifi using the OG steamlink

[topaz veldt]

brother

[random flame]

Depends on if Valve actually wants to make that pivot, I guess.

[edgy laurel]

dude it worked

[brave panther]

maybe it will be arm based

[topaz veldt]

75% of my play thru of Mafia Old Country or whatever is on GN

[random flame]

Kinda hard to do, since they partnered with AMD directly to get an apu design out for the Steam Deck and anything based on it's hardware.

[brave panther]

depends on how steam frame goes

[edgy laurel]

ok so you know. on LAN, even over wifi, it was pretty darn good

[uneven bane]

I see no world where Valve actually switches away from AMD any time soon especially with the new Steam Machine being AMD

[topaz veldt]

GN somehow plays way nicer than steamlink did though

I am sorry press what!?

[brave panther]

mac moment

[edgy laurel]

so Command.... what

[topaz veldt]

right?

[edgy laurel]

is that icon on the keyboard somehwere?

[random flame]

If Intel went as far as to make the prospects for a PS6 chip (compatibility aside) pricier than even AMD does for custom chip production, the only way then they could convince Valve to give them a shot is to undercut AMD and actually do more than what they're doing right now.

[shell void]

i own a macbook and i have no idea what either of those symbols are

[topaz veldt]

i dont see it

[edgy laurel]

you should know Command at this point

[shell void]

i only pull out my macbook once per year to do my taxes

it's a tradition

[random flame]

And right now, especially with their difficult position, I don't even think Lip-Bu Tan will want to take that kind of risk either.

[brave panther]

it highly depends if fab was in house or tsmc

[edgy laurel]

Command is where Alt would be

[uneven bane]

doesnt intel use TSMC for 3nm currently?

[topaz veldt]

command is easy but wtf is the other thing

[brave panther]

both tsmc and in house

[shell void]

yah the 12 Xe3 gpu tile in panther lake is made with TSMC N3E

[random flame]

Well, there are some skus of tiles manufactured by either fab. For in-house as far as igpus go, the 4-core XE3 is made by Intel. TSMC meanwhile produces the 12-core tile XE3 igpu.

[topaz veldt]

@edgy laurel

[shell void]

i find it interesting that Xe3 exists in Intel 18A, Intel 3, and TSMC N3E

[edgy laurel]

never once have I heard or seen that icon for Escape

[shell void]

intel can use pretty much whatever node that they want to

i hope we get desktop gpus made by intel foundry in the near future

[edgy laurel]

and thats funny because looking of GFN shortcuts, the game overlay should be Command+G on Mac OS

[random flame]

The funny thing is the Xe3 (the 4-core I mentioned) on 18A is the weakest one.

[teal orbit]

it's like that on a lot of custom mechanical keyboards or keycap sets

[topaz veldt]

Thats like ALT+R but only once IN a game

[uneven bane]

I'm hoping Intel becomes competition for AMD on the GPU side might give them incentive to aim for better GPU's

[cosmic gazelle]

so what you’re saying is another year of 14nm

[edgy laurel]

huh

[edgy laurel]

is that a different overlay than what its telling you to open?

[topaz veldt]

yes

[edgy laurel]

hmm, ok

[topaz veldt]

Command + G is like fps, latency etc

[edgy laurel]

ahh

[topaz veldt]

Command + ESC is local MacOS game mode

[random flame]

Depends. AMD's not competing as hard in order to increase their marketshare, over chasing after Nvidia. Intel was supposed to be competing with them at the low and mid-end as well, but then apparently AMD is pivoting to doing that with apus instead.

Intel is at least for now their only true competitor there and ironically not at the high end of that market segment either, yet are killin' it now.

[shell void]

IIRC that 4Xe3 tile is made with Intel 3, and the 18A variant im referring to is in Wildcat Lake

[random flame]

Though that also means they're killing (literally) the low end gpu market as well with them.

[shell void]

arrow lake is the last time that we'll see the dna of intel 14nm in consumer products

[random flame]

Oh.

[shell void]

base tiles are transitioning to Intel 3nm from Intel 22FFL (a variant of 14nm), and then to 18A-PT after that

[brave panther]

finally, euv

[random flame]

Speaking of EUV, I've heard those machines have become extremely massive and overly complex now.

[brave panther]

always were

[teal orbit]

electric utility vehicle

[uneven bane]

Intel has been amazing for cheaper workstation cards especially with NVIDIA cards either not going down in price or going up

[brave panther]

i just hope china makes their own so they can pump out dram, gpus and other crap to undercut tsmc

[random flame]

Despite how it's said those lithography machines have actually gotten good, I'm still hearing they're a mess for maintenance and are not improving that much further without major drawbacks, which is why the manufacturing and qc costs are astronomical almost.

[uneven bane]

Veritasium did a video on ASML and their EUV machines recently and its actually a really cool video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MiUHjLxm3V0

i used to have asml but i sold at the worst time ofc bc i’m so good

[shell void]

that board and cpu are worthless, but the 250GB sata ssd could be used for an oc bench drive

[south shuttle]

could’ve had €600

[shell void]

oh nvm it's a tiny sata m.2 that's annoying

put the whole thing in the recycling bin

[uneven bane]

My question is what Ivy/Sandy Bridge Board has m.2 granted its sata but still

[south shuttle]

m.2 without nvme protoco support 🧌

biggest troll for quick glancing a new ssd

[uneven bane]

m.2 sata isnt horrible but not great either only reason I have some is for older servers with no bifurcation and I wan to have the front bays strictly for storage and not the OS, luckily the 2 servers I do that with have internal sata ports

[random flame]

Still waiting for a more legitimate video talking about x-ray lithography picking up pace now, especially out of one of our own major startups here in the states, Substrate.

Apparently, they aren't just aiming to nail that process at scale, but apparently I've heard they're going to try rethinking masks for the the process.

[devout ridge]

starting to think this might be best done overnight...

especially when it uses the CPU likes this...

[brave panther]

Msata

It isn't m.2

You can easily id it due to two screws

[edgy laurel]

could be worse.. could be esata

how it’s wired btw

does it all go instantly into one 12v rail?

i have no idea

we'll need a buildzoid pcb analysis after techpowerup posts teardown photos

[south shuttle]

like if you were to scissors the whole connector out and leave only one pin on the second

expect sense

[shell void]

i know that when you solder a second connector on a gigabyte pcb theyre not perfectly balanced

one connector will shoulder more of the load

but those cards were never intended to be used with two connectors at once

maybe msi did something smarter

my favorite 5070

[wicked jay]

Damn i gotta find a board that fits ddr4 and a nvme 4.0 ssd

Ts is so complicated im all over the place

[edgy laurel]

Seems pretty easy. For what chip?

mATX and ATX both fine?

[wicked jay]

no clue what the difference is lol

[shell void]

matx boards are shorter, the b760m-p that you were just talking about is a matx board

[wicked jay]

Im getting a i5-12400f, rx 9060xt 16gb, 1tb nvme 4.0 ssd, with an asrock 750w psu

those are the specs of my build

[edgy laurel]

man, those boards are cleared the heck out

[turbid locust]

im gonna tweak out

[shell void]

if you’re in america then the “Asus B760M-AYW Wifi D4 II” is a good cheaper ddr4 board

$99.99 at newegg rn

[wicked jay]

Gonna look at that rn

[edgy laurel]

one of the 3 boards that fit what they're looking for in B760 https://pcpartpicker.com/products/motherboard/#c=163&mt=ddr4&f=2,7&V=10000,9000,8000&sort=price

[edgy laurel]

saved you the trouble

[wicked jay]

Thank you man

Also 1 more question lol

[edgy laurel]

i should say, 3 actually for sale

[wicked jay]

So the single fan next to the cpu is supposed to be an out take fan not intake?

[edgy laurel]

do you own this 12400f already? Surely there are some other options

michael would know more but man i'd feel much more comfortable headroom wise in at least a 13600k(f)

[wicked jay]

I dont im kinda on a budget build

[edgy laurel]

damn, thats pricey

[wicked jay]

The 12400f is $189 cad on newegg rn

[wicked jay]

wow this is why im anxious to press buy on amazon and my new egg cart 😭

[edgy laurel]

oh, CAD

surprised you can still buy 12th gen

[edgy laurel]

not quite sure what you mean

[shell void]

no idea about canadian pricing, but the 14600KF for $230 is what i’d pick for LGA 1700 in america

[snow holly]

I’ll mortgage the house

[wicked jay]

Yea

[edgy laurel]

14600kf is $229 CAD

thats MILES better than 12400f

shit, PCPP switched back to US pricing dammit

$280 CAD

[wicked jay]

yea lol i was bouta say

Erm here

[edgy laurel]

typically exhaust

[wicked jay]

And all the others are intake?

[edgy laurel]

People do it differently. Fishtank cases are commonplace these days, i built in one 5 years ago. Intake bottom and side, exhaust rear and top

[wicked jay]

I was gonna get this lol https://a.co/d/03JokJKs

And this was the case i was looking at idk if this is a dumb choice https://a.co/d/0944rl8v

[edgy laurel]

thats fine. don't overspend on accessories if it means skimping on the core components

[brittle trellis]

Intake front and bottom, exhaust top and back, unless you have some weird setup
In a fishtank the side fans at the front count as the front fans

[edgy laurel]

you don't need another fan for that rear exhaust if you have the whole top side exhaust

[wicked jay]

Ah ok

[brittle trellis]

Doesn't even look like that case has mounts on that rear vent

Nor is it very fan shaped

Just a passive vent

[edgy laurel]

weird renders

cause the picture of it with parts in it has a fan there

so who knows. doesn't really matter though

[wicked jay]

So rn im sitting at $1472 cad for all my parts

Besides the case

And thermal paste idk if the cpu comes with that

I have a pc case but i dont think it came with any fans

I think imma just get the i5 12600kf cause its only $50 more

[merry stirrup]

cooler will

[wicked jay]

Ah ok

[fringe vigil]

[edgy laurel]

been a while since I've looked. 12400 going to be enough for a 9060xt?

Idk if it’ll end up bottle necking

[topaz veldt]

13600 will be a nice system even in 2026

[faint shuttle]

oh man i want to buy a new case, but i dont know about the fan hubs
does it comes together with fan hubs?

I needa make sure i get a proper cat5e cable cause half of them are garbage

[cosmic gazelle]

there are technically fiber optic cables but they are absolutely not worth it unless you are a millionaire and need to transmit ethernet across like a mile lmao

i mean if you're buying today its cat6a but for what you're doing it doesn't matter

[topaz veldt]

wtf is this

Is that a nutsack?

[wicked jay]

My routers are ran on cat5e

[wicked jay]

Chill 😂 its a bunch of pcie connectors i think

[edgy laurel]

That doe.... you know what,you do you lol

[wicked jay]

Ive had that case for like a year and a half idk where it came from

[cosmic gazelle]

it's safest to operate under a "nutsack until proven not nutsack" basis

[topaz veldt]

yes especially 56k

[wicked jay]

Fr? I have boosters around my house that are wired back to my modem

[cosmic gazelle]

you underlings are still on 56k while I, a tech enthusiast, have blazing fast DSL

[wicked jay]

and not those cheap wifi extenders

Yea

Well telus calls them boosters lol

[cosmic gazelle]

ideal scenario is to build your own router and plug various access points into it but that's a little complex for most people

[wicked jay]

I was just gonna run cat5e from my pc all the way down to my modem through the walls

Im an apprentice electrician so ive done that before

[cosmic gazelle]

yeah wireless is kinda stupid for anything besides laptops and mobile devices

it's interesting to me how many countries still don't have good internet access

you'd think it'd be ubiquitous by now

[edgy laurel]

crack open your book on low voltage. having some cat5e already doesn't mean you can only use that. it really makes no difference in this particular scenario but no one really buys cat5e for anything anymore. the standard for in home is cat6a. What you currently have is irrelevant

[wicked jay]

Oh

[cosmic gazelle]

i mean you could just build a router/modem and run pfsense

would probably eliminate some issues

[edgy laurel]

pretty typical

can you get a public IP over ethernet out of it? Then you can use whatever router you want

[wicked jay]

So i pop open amazon and i see cat8

[cosmic gazelle]

what a badass motherboard for such an old platform

[edgy laurel]

ill stick to that then lol

eh, i'd prefer a T processor for a server. ivy bridge power consumption is not ideal

well i mean two different types of server

i was thinking you meant a nas and home assistant or something

i've never needed anything for a server that a cheap 4c/8t cpu couldn't handle

minecraft doesn't even really want more than dual core if they're fast cores

athlon 200ge is a far more capable minecraft hosting cpu than you would think

that's them failing to do due diligence

the internet exists

one day i will splurge for an apple silicon mac mini exclusively to serve as a minecraft server

because apple silicon RIPS for running fabric

no like arguably there is no higher tickrate minecraft server than one running on an m5

it is, as far as i’m aware, the highest single threaded processor in existence

[turbid locust]

hm interesting

[cosmic gazelle]

by a very wide margin actually

i mean they have the fastest single threaded server chip

but obviously intel is faster in single thread, it's just that no one really has a use case

[turbid locust]

I bought a 5090 at arguably the best time

hmm, i just realized i've went through like 16 gpus in the last 3 years

wild

[topaz veldt]

like socks

[primal fractal]

What happened bro

[frank cypress]

nothing

i get a good deal on something, enjoy it for a while, then sell it for no profit cause i usually sell to friends

[primal fractal]

I went through like 5/6 in a year because of failing monitor/other issues

[frank cypress]

this will be my all time most diabolical PC

never topping this shit

bought two 2080tis to use for like, a week just to beat someone's 4090 then promptly fuck off

and a new psu

i don't think it was my fastest pc but definitely funniest

[primal fractal]

I just ran first ddu and completed it I think

So happy rn bro

[primal fractal]

I was in file explorer and dragged my clip to other monitor and I started seeing a pixelated mess for like 2 seconds

So figured it was time to run ddu

[primal fractal]

Was a lot easier then I thought it would be

Took me like 2 hours tho

[wraith steeple]

[graceful fulcrum]

anybody wanna help with a troubleshooting question

[wraith steeple]

Quad 2080 Tis?

[frank cypress]

👍

[subtle hinge]

[odd sable]

I've put SLI 3090s on a 6700k

[frank cypress]

amazing

bring back mGPU to the mainstream

[odd sable]

And 2080tis, one of them yours

[odd sable]

Also those are rookie numbers, gotta get those numbers up

[wraith steeple]

I've jokingly thought of getting a used 3090 in addition to mine to join in on the bubble for shits and giggles

[odd sable]

I got my 3090s because I didn't have any ampere cards before hand

[frank cypress]

imma broke student

[odd sable]

Get a job then

[frank cypress]

the school expects at least 60hours of work per week but most people are putting 70+ in my school 😭

cause it's so insanely competitive rn

[odd sable]

College/University?

[frank cypress]

specialized school for CG/game art

[odd sable]

See, I just skipped that part

Went straight to engine dev

[frank cypress]

i almost applied to DNEG for a runner position

that would've been 40 hours + 60 hours of school a week

assuming i got the job

probably would've hanged myself or smth

[odd sable]

I mean, that's an option regardless of a job

[wraith steeple]

I see.... Ic Ic

[frank cypress]

TRUE

[livid flame]

In your field it’s not always about time spent, but quality of time use from critical thinking.

Those that are better will win with less time, and comfortably.z

[frank cypress]

i mean undoubtedly, but also.... you do just need a fuck ton of practice

but i do agree

the only people i see getting jobs right now are the people who are doing both

[livid flame]

You got this ennui

[frank cypress]

tyty

[wraith steeple]

That's sadly in most developed areas.... IT field/computer/electric engineering do be a very cutthroat market in terms of job offerings

[frank cypress]

Bruh my brother who moved to Toronto accidentally hijacked the Netflix account

[fleet marsh]

quick question. i have the ID-COOLING SE-226-XT. cooling a 9800x3d looking to possibly upgrade. But to another air cooler.... would the phantom spirit evo or ak620 or something in that range even be a upgrade worth spending ? or should i be looking at something else ?

[brisk jolt]

unless its thermal throttling theres no need to upgrade

even a LP cooler will cool that chip perfectly fine

[fleet marsh]

i dont think it is. it bounces around a lot. shoots to 90c then lowers down to 70c in most games.

cpu fan runs loud though lol

[brisk jolt]

you could go to bios and set the fan profile to silent, and undervolt the chip

[fleet marsh]

have never messed with it before tbh. but ill try lol... what would you say to adding like those arctic fans instead of stock ones ? would it make a difference in sound and performance ? they are like $12

[brisk jolt]

in terms of sound and perf the best ones are the Phanteks T30s and Noctuas

[fleet marsh]

mk ill check em out ty !

[brisk jolt]

i wouldnt say arctics are best in the area

arctics are cheap functional fans that get the job done
