Nvidia has better and more software features and will probably support their cards longer looks at the nearly maintenance mode rx 5700xt
honestly literally everything except radeon 9000 can be considered shelved now
theyve refused to formally release int8 fsr4 for a year even though itll work on rdna2 and rdna3
your card is one gen old and lisa says throw it away
Int8 fsr4 is a game changer for the steam deck
the rx 6000 and 7000 are basically maintenance now, too
I just dont understand people that would choose even 3050 over 9070xt 😭
As an RX 7900 user? AMD Pissed me off by dumping most support for my GPU already
Where did the 3050 come in here
They wouldn't.
that's a dumbassed comparison for nothing but ragebait
i dont like any of these gpu companies any more, can we have china gpus
i want less stable GPUs for more fun gameplay
Well, some people really would, fortnite kids
$700 7900XT couldve ended up being a great longterm purchase if AMD didnt fuck you
with Int8 FSR4 it's still a totally relevant powerful 20GB card outside of RT/PT
i miss the days of my graphics drivers crashing because i opened radeon overlay and windows snipping tool at the same time
give me more instability and less cost
you can buy a radeon gpu today and experience a crash when you try to open adrenalin
Im still pissed I didn't snipe that 1000 CAD 7900xtx and 7800x3d a while back
The avatar one
$80 modern day RX 580 equivalent pls
80 dollar new gpu? xD
What's that like 2gb of vram these days?
you might be able to find a rtx 2060 for $80 on facebook or somethin
thats what i bought my rx 580 for a 16 months after release
Nah those still go for like 120
on eBay yeah, might find lower locally
US
there was a time when i knew this
i’ve set up my media center pc to use steam input to control the desktop using only my controller
can’t believe i never thought of this before
instead of tracking every gpu price im repurposing my high powered (real and not untrue) retail price scraping into just monitoring individual product listing prices and then people can track whatever they want instead of me tracking 15,000 GPU listings when 14998 of them are useless
knowmsayn
Or the $99 5060
i tried to get those absurdly cheap 5060/5060ti's during blackfriday on newegg but they were all instantly botted
Or the 400 dollar 4070
as youd expect when they only offered like 20 of them
Next time I'm writing a bot
dude
i’m so mad i don’t have a ton of disposable income rn, somebody on marketplace had an i7-1360p laptop for 95 bucks
What
that’s an easy 100 dollar profit right there
find the money
seek outside investment
Only 4p cores smh
def gone by now lol
Mug someone for 100 bucks and make 200 bucks profit
is intel 7 the one thats 10nm
yeh
love that for intel
facebook marketplace around here is interesting
i will soon have 4 of them lol
did you see my p620 to p1000 before and after results
no
what is this, iphone notes app?
is this at 480p
Where do you live
Why do you have 4 states in your marketplace
720 or 768 depending on the game, except fortnite which defaulted to 1080
i live in jersey city which is across the hudson from manhattan
so ive got like pennsylvania to the west, connecticut to the north, NY to the east
not bad for a 10 year old "low end" workstation gpu option
the vram was a big deal in rdr2 because red dead doesn’t let you change settings in game with 2gb of vram because it says you don’t have enough 😂😂
Is it bad that the only thing I know about jersey is that it's the place across the Hudson river that Sully landed in
bunch of midd ass mid shit in the GPU department
jersey city goes under the radar mostly, its comparable to like a brooklyn, its not a major huge city but it is a proper city if that makes sense
Don't ride Ebikes after July 19th without license plate,registration, insurance, and a dot certified helmet
why would i ride ebikes
Idk but they are now classified as motorcycles in Jersey no matter the kind
thats cool
theyre fucking dangerous to travel at 25mph on a street with no helmet and if you hit someone youre gonna badly injure them
Even the low power European kind are motorcycles that top out at 15mph and will turn off the motor if you go past that
Brooklyn isn't a big city?
well its sprawled
also have to consider those results are on a power limited 4790k and a high end cpu could possibly squeeze out a couple additional frames
Only 300k population?
You guys cheat though.you Bring people from out of the country smh
heres the size comparison
Size doesn't matter
jersey city is the place nyc people live, still say "I live in the city" but pay like 80% less
exactly
exactly thats how i like it
Isn't nj smelly?
nyc is smelly too
like the inside of a tire where a racoon died
nj just has a different aroma
Ok so Langley
around here it just smells like cumin and parsley
Langley man don't kill me
way i sees it is yeah i could go live in brooklyn but then id be living in ny AND id be further away from NYC so this is a nice middleground for me where i can get into nyc when i need to but otherwise i have normal city stuff going on
The dragon always lurks 👀
real question why do phones have rounded screens? aren't you losing some content thatway
because modern design is round
Because corners hurt palms
oh his thing is smarter
make the screen cornered and the bezel round
you could, but that's less sexy
Lol reminds me when I had my razer phone 2. Corners dug into my hands.
Short lived device I had though
You bought a gamer phone?!
i had some asus phone back in the day
i forgot what
zenfone 3
I really like the samsung pinhole camera
it looks clean
wish people still maintained lineageos or something for this thing
gifted
same with my cousin so we both had it at the same time, he's just been dealing with it for a while now
@pure garnet we so lit rn
I am not excited to buy a phone for the first time when this s22 breaks
oh did it arrive
toss both gpus in and lmk if they work bc i wanna use that money to finish paying off my phone
Getting shit gifted or literally finding it in the recycling bin feels so much nicer then buying stuff
yeah i did a lil unboxing vid but its too large for dih cord i think
the arc card single handedly gives me the cleanest output to my capture card so far
week 1 iphone 17 pro
week 2 ice soup
Like your cousins ram
Yeah that's still wild to me
I had a blackberry keyone for like a month before it caught fire while charging
meanwhile my 6700xt does 1024x768
😭
baller
not baller
mf complaining about the free 99 970
never in my life have i seen elpida
well you have unfortunately now
is this the max level chineseum
oh makes sense that i havent seen elpida, they havent been relevant since 2014
what is it? gtx 970?
yeah
goated card despite the vram scandle
still more gddr5 than a 780ti which it performed similarly to for half the price
What was the law suit payout $20 a person?
i bought it about 2 years ago becuase it was the minimum requirements to play ffxiv
well, 7700k + 970 was, and i wanted to see how my 6700k/970 setup would fare
chunky game now
minimum windows 11 and i7 7700, but i7 7700 isnt officially suported in windows 11
im guessing itll run fine on anything windows 10 20H2+
yeah 970 is good theyre both workin
they updated the requirements on october 10th without bumping up the cpu
or whenever windows 10 went eol
the game runs fine on win 10 square just will not help you at ALL if you run the game on windows 10
word
i had to swap to a different tape like halfway through packing your latest order

i wonder if mainline windows 10 support will be extended
iirc still half of windows PCs are using windows 10
theyll have a hard time convincing people that they need to buy new parts and use copilot
i still run win 10 ehhe
i just remade an install usb for it today, ill go back when i get bored
damn
brutal
also it does NOT do +150 core so im fo SHO blowing this thing up with volts
the 7% better performance in cpu limited gaming in windows 24H2+ with branch prediction updated is cool, but i havent been able to defeat the visual artifacts that exist in 24H2+ so it's meh
i made copies of my win 10 medias in case i lose one
everything in 21H2 just works with 0 bugs ever
coffee lake is still the most popular type of hardware
i know firefox isn't perfect dataset for normies but this is best we got afaik
8700k was nice
it's coffee, tiger lake, and then haswell for top 3 on here
768p is dying 
for a sec i was wondering why 768p was prevalent at all because that was a TV res, but i remembered that a lot of laptops used it too
instead of just using 1280x720p for whatever reason
bascially every laptop i saw that wasn't 1080p was 768p
aside from my thinkpad that was 1600x900 tn factory
don't forget 1280x800
phones also used a lot of sorts of wonky resolutions
honestly windows 11 has had a more steady growth then people would make you think
20% of users still being in windows 7 in 2021 is kinda crazy
though i guess it's still safe to use today
vista (6) and windows 7 (6.1) got their last security patch in january 2026
the elpida mem is so bad 😭
tatical sandbag
im so blowing this shit up
What is "has flash"
adobe flash
rip flash
welcome to the USA brother jorj
thank you brother

sad days when an 80 lane hedt cpu is cheaper than 64gb of ddr5 rdimms
real
fuck the korean ram mafia
I paid less for my 128gb of ram than 32gb of ram costs today.....
hey I dont blame them, I blame the stupid fucking ai companies
sames my two 2x32 kits were both about $160 apiece
same with my 2x24 8000cl36 1.4v patriot kit
ngl I dont really understand how they're being scummy
like, I feel like the ai shit-uation is temporary so it makes sense that they're not increase production capacity
i can understand why a business would want to maximize profits, but i dont respect it
i dont love capitalism even though i participate in it to survive
“Path to cheap ddr5 closes soon
Cheap ddr5 disappearing in 90 sekonds”
fair
pretty sure you would not like if all wealth was redistributed across globe within your lifespan
there are a lot of poor people out there
someone poor or modest would appreciate it though
im poor
i just dont pay rent because i live with my parents so i can afford graphics cards
i got wendys delivered and i cried so hard
they gave me a WHOLE EXTRA FROSTY
thats so fire
like ive been moody all day and cramping and i cried in the shower until it ran cold and i just wanted a burgy but i also ordered chicken strips and they gaVE ME AN EXTRA FROSTY AND SO MUCH DIP
well, if wealth was to be redisteibuted evenly you’d probably have to sell your parent’s house
i got bbq and sweet chili sauce
and buy a smaller one
they're like the nuggs but better
like magically your house would get smaller
500-1000 trillion distributed across 8 bil people
potentially yummy then
wendys tendies are fire
i dont wanna share my bedroom with random indian civilians
sell your house then 😛
it’s for the better good
i’m sure the first thing that’ll be redistributed is the average home on a loan owner and not the ones with billions
i’m talking about a hypothetical scenario where everything gets distributed evenly
expect like nuclear weapons
those will go to sane people
i mean i will remove the nukes
no nukes for anyone
when you’re already breaking reality why not all the way?
they will stay but nobody shall get more wealthy
imagine how easy that is to implement kvetinky said
yes but unless michaels parents own the home outright it’s not theirs to need to redistribute
no, you’re forced to redistribute
type of hypothetical scenario
an expensive operation/sugery? fuck that die and save 10 starving children
whatever you cannot redistribute gets erased or ignored
i love putting problems under the rug
so either like 90% of housing is instantly destroyed or not much changes
@merry stirrup I have great luck in tarkov, I signed up for one of those offical tarkov sessions and the sherpa said and I quote I have never in my 7000 hours of tarkov have seen someone die because of the map ambient noise covering up sound
if you have 2x larger house than the limit you gotta live with someone else and if you have 1.5x you will have to live with someone 12 hrs a day
i don’t see where that could even go wrong
if someone doesn’t get this all i said so far is sarcasm obviously it wouldn’t work
the best you can do fr rn is help as an individual to a greater cause like donate to improve recycling industry
if big most plankton dies due to pollution and we won’t stop ever we’re good cooked as starved of oxygen
@edgy laurel i cant lie, downsizing is looking less appealing by the day
i hope the rumors of the 42" C6 having higher brightness are true, but im skeptical
when will we see more?
more thorough reviews are typically available around easter time, and prices are more responsible in the july to november time
so we’ll be waiting a bit
New desk chair time
That can't possibly be an official Boeing part...
I built a sim rig using triple 75-inch displays mounted vertically — and after living with it for a while, this video breaks down what actually works, what doesn’t, and who this setup really makes sense for.
This wasn’t built as a pure racing setup. It was designed around long flight sim sessions, motion clearance, and maximizing vertical...
hmm
A750 cool
850w modular psu to rtx 3080. A 1x2 pcie or 2 separate pcie power cables?
Came with both and not sure which to use. Im assuming 2 separate cables is safer even tho I dont think a 3080 has any sort of crazy power draw
card draws 340w, if you got 2 cables i'd use them but it'll probably be fine with the pigtail
It came with 2 1x2s and 2 1x1s so im just using the 2 separate cables
Thought i lost a psu screw. Stupid iPhone magsafe lmao
Hmmm... Been a bit since I've seen anything on hardware-level shader mods.

I wonder how well it will work with mods like create
Finally got my Dell R440's into the rack. One of them is running, I'm not running the other one until the new CPUs get here Thursday but man I've never been so happy to see the grub loader.
is this beatable
lmfao i do this shit too
40c load
If it works it's not stupid, but I'd be worried about condensation but yolo
do you have any spare quadros left with a modern driver by any chance
if you want
how many dollan
it’s a p620 so you need mini dp to hdmi
uh just uh shipping and like 10 or 15 dollar
why not minidp to dp
that works too
ill hit you up friday probably
gives me an excuse to send mac’s out
i ice souped my checking to pay off the phone early
and get my 480 8gb
Just looked at the r440s pcie documntaion 25watt power delivery eww definitely gotta make my 630 have GPU transcoding
may use my newly acquired a750 for transcoding
yes
I love my 1u servers for most things but dells power limitations on pcie slots makes me want to consider a 2u.
I kinda wanna get an arc just to try on my gaming PC I've heard their transcoding is fantastic
i’m thinking so
when i returned my rift s i forgot to give back the adapter
so i just happen to have a mini dp to dp adapter
finially got a level 6 armor set
For $700, for my wifes first PC, pretty happy with how it came out
Still waiting on the last 4 fans in the mail but it works
what cooler is that
block looks like a rim
Its supposed to
We’re both into cars, so was necessary lol
I grew out of the "add as many fans as possible phase" at some point
Hey I did too, wife liked the look of it tho so thats what I got her
been just lazy and done 3 intake, 3 exhaust (attached to aio radiator) recently
yea they're cool for aesthetics
the delivery fee is 2/5th of the cooler 💀
especially if you're building for someone else
Mine is a lot more simple
I got free shipping 🤷♂️
international shipping
Kinda funny considering its a Korean company as far as im aware, and Im in the US
doesn't really matter though since many of them keep parts in stock in US warehouses. from there free shipping makes sense
it's taiwanese
I didnt order a tall enough gpu support bracket for hers by mistake, Itll be fine for now tho
Yeah ik but still
I wonder what im thinking of, Lian Li?
Theyre taiwanese too
I guess im all sorts of wrong
The difference between 9 and 7 is wow. Such a big difference comared to 7 and 8
Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) Ray Reconstruction for Blender is finally possible to build and run on NVIDIA GPUs! In this video I'm testing various scenes and how they can be denoised with DLSS in Blender.
PR here: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/153077
BIG thanks to bbcool2002 (https://www.instagram.com/bbcoolcg) for ...
well well well
what about 6 and 7
ok im going to die now
@topaz veldt I'm going to be a good uncle and fix my niece's toy:
FUCK YEAH
hi
This is what I get for trying to be nice smh
What about 6 and 9?
better
going with my cousin to try the kinton ramen on gilmore tomorrow 👀
never been to that chain so i hope it's good
Just googled it
Reviews look good
Which I don't know if that's a bad sign or a good sign
Let me know if it's good
sure
It's good.
oh nice
Went to the Surrey one, tastes great.
The combo is a very good value. Wish I got that.
oh, good to know
@frank cypress
Why does it look like a massive turd in the middle of that ramen
Im glad im not the only one thinking the same
that is definitely a fat turd in the middle
Ayo who talking shit on bread
you love yapitalism
went to terminate the cable for a new to me dust extractor, only to realize it's 220v and not 120v
after i had installed all the ducting for it
(there is no 220v circuits in the shop)
Discord, that's not how numbers work
i blame your weird stretched resolution
(idk why it's stretched)
Yeah, probably that
Genuine question. If I reverse engineer hardware that costs like... A lot. Is it considered piracy?
you can't pirate hardware, you can pirate software
once you buy the hardware, it's yours to do with as you please
i think its intellectual theft when you are reproducing it for profit
(as supported by the US supreme court)
You can do almost anything you want for personal benefit, it's when you try to turn a profit that it's a problem
so why is pirating media illegal
you can pirate software
hmm
Alright, and if I post code, and guide on how to make your own version?
As an individual, it's nearly impossible to be prosecuted for software piracy
They really only ever pursue large distributors if at all
(this is not legal advice, i'm not a lawyer)
I know, just asking "for a friend" ;)
im gonna start trying to read all your messages in irohs voice
worst case is your ISP drops you if they see lots of illegal torrents on your network
You can pretty easily prevent your ISP from seeing you torrent legal Linux ISO's only, with a VPN
Eeh, that's kind of not happening in Ukraine. Simply due to the fact that nobody really cares
I mean when your country is at war, the minor laws matter a lot less
government is a bit preoccupied
Ironically, the school I used to go got fined for pirating windows lmao
thats like one of the five settings you dont want to pirate windows
Damn, imagine paying for windows 11
i will not be elaborating goodnight
a company should never pirate anything
If it makes you money, don't pirate it
Well, yeah. But, it wasn't like the whole compsci which was pirating windows I think?
If I recall correctly it was like... Some teacher who got their windows installed by God knows who
So... Idk, really
Maybe it was worse than it was told to me
it is really easy to pirate windows nowadays
for TOS reasons i can't really elaborate on that
Ooh, why not? They cost like... Not that much, at least in my fucked up economy
o_o
Good luck, bud
no doubt
im trying t30 fans rn hopefully they turn out good
they are infact good my friend
May the force flow right past you
I wish you the worst
Fuck you
mad cuz bad
yeah i heard they are one of the best, the thermalright ones did well for slim fans
tad bit loud to properly get hot air out though
are those the 140s?
120s
word
I have 2 - 3 of those laying around. I want to try the 140s
I imagine the static pressure is better than NF-A14x25 G2s
Yeeesh
Sheeeeeeeesh
she gets warm
its kind of crazy so - if I run default clocks and remove all limits, it runs 103-104C
if I run 56 all pcore and 50 all ecore, it runs 103-104C
Is that the custom loop build?
333w she is steaming
I see a rumour about a 700w Intel cpu. No idea on the truth of it
I would love it
Can’t remember where I saw it. Something like 52 cores
well yes, though it would depend on the package size also
be more like a KS chip
I found it
Meant to have more e-cores than bits on a sega mega drive
I for one am excited for it
We're going to be chilling one day and 5nail will hit us with a 700W NVL-S K U9 and a 800w/1000w vbios 5090
I hope so
So I have been putting together a kind of insane BOM for a wild cooling setup
I love my self-contained O11s with dual rads, etc.
But I have been putting together a plan for a single or dual mora 600 wall mount setup that I can just plug PCs into
I just don't want a ton of pump noise and I kind of want the radiators not in ym office, but the plumbing becomes insane
7950x for 250€ good or no
If you are after 16 cores, sure
if you are after a gaming CPU its not a great one generally
what resolution do you game at
1440p
should be fine no? mostly gpu bound anyways
ok yah 7950X is a 5.7 GHz boost on the one CCD, faster than the 7500f. Should be an upgrade for sure. Just dual-ccd stuff can get weird on some games
Its gonna be 2027 on a random saturday, we’re all gonna be chilling and 5nail drops the banger of “Hey guys heres my NovaLake K running 700W, 5090 at 800w, and my CUDIMMs are at 11k, it makes for quite a good sauna”
Ah I read this message without reading the prior context lol ignore my reply
oh it’s going to be so glorious
i’m assuming that’s direct die watercooled with all power limits removed in a stress test
yeah no biggie for 5nail
snail
He will come in and tell the Zen 6 950X3D or whatever the top consumer chip “Stand proud, you are strong”
it’s okay senor snail has a 240v circuit in his office for his U9 495K + 6090 PC
@topaz veldt gonna need one of those 3000W PSUs soon it seems
bro running all appliances on psu
He’d also need a local nuclear powerplant supplying straight into the house
It looks like a home server beast. Possibly a cheaper alternative to a TR?
5nail is gonna develop a micronation just to have it's own powerplant
you usually don’t want a heterogenous CPU in a server
but yeah it’ll be an amazing workstation CPU
how do you tell someone to "look at the bottom of the screen"
When they refuse to look outside of the window they're in
Mark's got a 240v circuit dedicated to his office
@merry stirrup @pure garnet @steel stream WE yes WE need it
700‽
Almost just slapped the power button and yanked the usb in the middle of a bios update because I thought it was done lol
oh yes ill get one of those
Ya, buddy got it, looked decent.
MOREEEE
Actually might need an AX1600i
you honestly need more than that if you want to be “future proof” for future high end parts
power density is only going to get crazier
I thought 1600 was like the cap for NA
who's going to invent a 400 watt cpu cooler man
for 120v 15a yeh but there’s no reason you can’t use a 240v circuit for your pc in america
a $30 peerless assassin will handle it without issue
i agree
phantom spirit slam dunk
All core work load it’s gonna struggle
prob no issue at all with the default ~450W PL2
i personally run my 14900k with unlocked power limit on a hyper 212, sits at like 65c
in cinebench
wattage handling with coolers isn’t comparable between CPUs
der8auer ran a xeon up to 750W with a single tower noctua cooler
a phantom spirit royal knight assassin freezer killer ultra max or whatever will handle nova lake fine
i need it
holy optimalism
I even have my 285K on air with default settings 
What you need is one of those Chinese PSUs smacked together to give like 3kw. But then you got some work to do to get it safe and probably only 2kw
i have a 265k on air PL to like 160w
isn't core ultra known to run a bit cooler
if they continue that trend then we'll be fine but 400 watts sounds like a lot
core ultra is hella easy to cool
yeh intel chiplets are larger and there are more cores so the heat density is lesser
also noctua is somehow still getting away with selling chromax nhd15s for 200 bucks
20 year old cooler design or something lmao
450W across two compute tiles will be easy to cool
if it ain't broke i suppose
I have the OG G2 in mine. Also it's in a solid Panel Torrent 
king of the long bus
it's a wonderful cooler don't get me wrong, it just has always seemed kinda overpriced because they know no one's gonna make a better air cooler any time soon lmao
low profile cooler on 265k works pretty well icl
Idiots buy so they supply
I don't disagree
I bought mine when there was no pa120 yet 😢
can I get a pass
oh also on low settings with medium textures and taa medium i'm gettin like 40-50fps on rdr2 on that quadro p1000
glorious gaming in bed system
she gettin a little hot but the last time i removed a gpu from that specific system i had to reinstall windows to fix the networking problem it caused so i will not be doing that
the people buying noctua coolers want more than the $30 cooler offers and the people buying $30 coolers don’t care for what noctua’s offering
class of 2020: we didn't get a prom
ngl I still think the novalake 52c cpu is gonna be iffy, not even cause of the cpu itself but rather
Scheduler?
microslop windows is gonna fucking explode when it sees 52c and 3 core types
yeah
With Noctua you pay for a $30 cooler, but you give them an extra $100 for their R&D
We already have 3 core types for a while
we have?
eeeee
mornin
and i’ll gladly pay that so my ears don’t hurt using my pc
Beginning with meteor lake, arrow lake mobile
But also, wouldn't alder lake effectively be 3 core types? P, P-HT, E
womp womp premium option expensive
noise normalized to jackhammer decibel range testing also doesn’t show that the fans just sound better
wait, did alderlake have p cores without ht?
I wasnt even aware of that
alder-raptor had ht
arrow lake is the first time we’re down to just p + e on desktop
No no, but doesn't windows treat the second thread differently
yeah I dont think noctua fans are honestly that much quieter, but sound a lot nicer
Maybe I'm imagining something, but we've had 3 levels of actual hardware cores for a few years
24 core zen 6x3d will also be a scheduling nightmare
Meteor lake is also interesting
oooo
yeah I guess so
P core actual
P core 2nd thread
E core
LPE core
clearly what you're saying is that the 5775c will be the optimal gaming device
I didnt respond to this cause I have no idea
the optimal gaming cpu will be a single z6x3d ccd or nvl tile with big cache, and the low power cores in the SOC disabled
sounds entirely plausible
For $100 or more extra than a phantom spirit… it’s really not that much quieter
he didn't really argue it was quieter he more so argued the frequency curve was more pleasant
^^
man I still despise my p12 maxes
“i pick noctua because i prefer the noise profile of their fans” 🤓
“i pick noctua because the beige fans look cool, and i like the hand feel of the premium heatsink” 
yeah who would run their cpu fan at 100% because they misconfigured the airflow in their case and it was the only way to get good temperatures
According to tech power up - it’s throttled on an AM5 225w work load and a phantom spirit isn’t. Imagine paying $150 more for a worse performing cooler
static 100% fan is truly meta
thou has underestimated me
50% PWM it’s really poor performing. I used the most favourable result for the DH15
idk, the d15 is literally fine
Tech power up review shows it performs worse than a $30 cooler. Not saying it’s not good, just it’s dumb to pay for it when there’s better out there that are way cheaper
I remember mine sustaining 280w on my 13900ks
i've never really heard of someone having issues with a d15 and i'm the one who brought up it being expensive
thermal right is great for penny pinching buyers
but i’ll gladly pay more for a system that isn’t miserable to listen to
It performs better on LGA1700. On AM5 it’s pretty poor
thermal right is also an excellent power supply manufacturer if you live in a cold room because it will help your heating bill by lighting your desk on fire
true true
Thermalright heatsink with real fans perhaps?
why would i do that when i could just order one thing instead of 2
Thermaltake*
It’s still well beaten by Thermalright though, even in Intel
the thermal right mounting system is also usually the cheapest feeling thing i touch in system
yeah thermal something
well beaten
ngl for me, 5c difference is kinda whatever
Damn noctua didn't even score 90%
or are you comparing the like decade+ old design
just as a layman consumer
700 watt nova lake, looks like I’m buying a new PSU boys!
The G2 isn’t the DH.
same i wasn’t even close to tjmax on my 14900k at 253W with an OG D15 spinning at 800rpm
AX1600i
it could sustain 320W no problem
Sadly they do not sell them anymore
there are loads of them on ebay
I checked like a month ago and there was still stock
Not new anyways, you could get one on the used or refurb market maybe
But yeah, buying noctua in 2026 is just nostalgia. They’re not better for the money at all
I think they finally ran out not too long ago
nobody every said they were the reddit value buy
I dont think anyone here is arguing for noctua on the basis of performance per dollar
from what i've seen the nh-l9 series is easily better than any competition for sff builds. so there are definitely use cases
if we're talking value, people here value the sound profile of the noctua fans
its a different type of value mate
but the cost of an air cooler is inconsequential so i’ll buy the one that’s appealing over the cheap one
It’s either that or the ID equivalent that performs about the same
i’m sure the 9800x3d + 5090 buyer can swing an extra hundred bucks in their system
tbh, I feel like i said this before but
C5 CU king for intel for LP no cyap
people in this hobby have a very wrong??? idea about what value is
This is a good one if you haven’t seen it yet.
TLDR; They added new DDR5 refresh modes on AM5.

For the memory OC nerds
lmao this might be a bad take but i don't understand why someone buying a 4 THOUSAND DOLLAR GPU wouldn't just soft line their entire system at that point
Well no. Value isn’t subjective cost/performance. Thats pretty stone wall.
Ask 5mall. He has multiple
because that’s even more money and not a set and forget solution
value refers to more than just price to performance
you also failed his point entirely 😭
yeah also i would assume installing a custom water block probably voids warranty? so probably that? idk
we have massive balls bro we out here vibing with sf750s with 5090s
the person buying the thermal right cooler values the price
the person buying the noctua cooler values different things
bro is running a 5090 with a n100 to stay under the power budget
noise, warranty, premium brand or whatever
everyone should be eating instant noodles 24 hours a day cause its price to calorie efficient
👍
true
the p12 pros on a chart are supposedly better than my a12x25s but a 5 second test with my ears tells me i don’t regret buying the other fans
wonder what the reliability of this brand is, i've never seen one reviewed
I have the max rather than the pros and they're fucking awful
I mean, great performance for the price
awful sound
some random, unknown brand
superflower was the oem for evga iirc
oh that was sarcasm
all of my artics got banished to the oc system where they run a static 100% rpm for runs
i don't think the highest wattage psu on pcpp is an unknown brand lol i just haven't seen someone review a super flower is all
I'm running them like 800rpm and they seem fine
just sounds like a server rack
i was being sarcastic, I don't think they were lol
They get pretty loud above 1000rpm
i tried down to like 20% signal and they still had an obnoxious hum compared to my a12s
Louder than my Corsair fans at > 1k rpm I think
i have to make my room totally silent and get on the floor next to my pc in order to hear my p12 pros
P12s are an unfortunate thing
I only knew something was wrong because I heard my fans at all this weekend
guys do you think the acoustics of these fans are gonna be good
what happen
if they’re working anyway, i have one that is dying that i’m too lazy to replace atm
high performer for sure
😭
to be fair a pc someone like that is buying would normally already have windows
true
on two occasions I happened to look at my postcode readout after noticing I could hear my fans and saw 87c. One time I was gaming but the other time just sitting at the desktop. Two cores were not pegged in usage but the temp was over 85c and the rest were fine. The first time I was just a little freaked so I rebooted and all was well. The second time I noticed Discord sitting at a constant 9-10% usage so I killed its proccess and things dropped down to normal.
oh weird
was the 87c static? Sometimes I see that and assume the system crashed
it seemed to be the first time, but once I closed the game it dropped to 85c so it i guess not
im guessing they bought the parts and paid someone to build it or something
it was really only affecting two cores, 0 and 1
instead of buying a prebuilt
every now and then i leave one of these PCs on and they are table top so I see the q-code obviously and I see like "32...." forever... and I am like ffs its hung up
the second occurance I was able to link it to Discord
it was really strange because it wasn't like the cores were pegged out in task manager or even really sucking back power on their own, just the temp was redlining
very weird. step 1 on the road to a reinstall
taskmanager got kinda wierd and unreliable
I was primarily looking at per-core stats in hwinfo for both usage, power and temp
0 and 1 were doing some weird shit
MBAM scan didn't trigger anything alarming
and killing discord immediately fixed it so.. we just wait

size of the buttons and thumbsticks should help with scale
i moved all of my parts over I can finally start seeing if I can get anything over 5400 stable with the 4 dimms
yeah stuffing the 8060S chip in there needs it to be beefy
and hot
I cannot figure out this argb
yesss put the massive power hungry halo APU in a gaming handheld even though it makes no sense
what does high refresh mean
gimme a panther lake handheld with a 116WH battery, that would be sick
60Hz is high
most movies are shot in 24fps and nobody seems to mind so to me 60Hz is high refresh
looks like a nice display
ooo 165 thats not bad then
im still worried about the heat
This rog strix Z370 e gaming has 1 argb header and 2 rgb headers, and the argb header is not showing in their software
this looks like a great handheld platform, but 16 core strix halo makes no sense in a gaming handheld
isnt the iGPU for next gen intel mobile really fast and efficient compared to the strix halo
would be better to just wait
yeh panther lake is the king of efficient x86 mobile apus
yuck
anything but being put in useful situations
i cant think of a useful situation for strix halo quite honestly XD
sff thats literally it
a lot of power in a tiny space
anything that takes user input should be minimum 60hz so you get that minimum 16ms latency on each input
it's not good for most productivity tasks because it's radeon, and it's not as good as it should be for gaming because amd refuses to backport FSR4 to RDNA3.5
it exists in a weird limbo where some ai bros who dont mind radeon buy the 128GB mini PCs
and you pay a premuim for it
i suppose another niche for it would be a linux laptop
so linux laptops, and 128GB mini PCs
that's all it can really do
basically all of them are sold with windows lol
amd’s shortcomings really show on strix halo
lets hope intels new iGPUs can scale
cool and all but its just not it
it's cool hardware but lacks the software support that it needs to be useful
is intel still on the downside after this then? iirc a lot of people were saying AMD was pulling ahead in the past
taking money from suckers
i assume b390 puts up a decent fight till 30w
hey, sometimes a deal is a deal, ive seen the 128gb 2tb models sell for just $1k on auction
i wouldve gladly used that with a portable dipsplay instead of a laptop
tho no battery
hm i take it back theres no use case youre right
B390 is equal or better at the power levels that it's actually designed for
strix halo sucks when you throttle it down to less than 45W
it's a huge 256bit igpu it's not made for those low power levels
not to mention it has a better upscaler than fuckass FSR 3 as well as it having MFG
b390 has mfg?
dude so hype
my 4090 doesnt even have mfg
panther lake is designed for 25W and less, in that region it outperforms strix halo
while having better upscaling and framegen like setsuna said
strix halo is meant for 45-120W
dude you cant even pay me to be using FSR 3 or 3.1
they sellin the pc wit no pc 😭😭😭
are we gonna get to a point where games get so computationally heavy that even mfg wont help because the base frames are so low?
yeah intel's mfg also works on their first gen arc alchemist cards xD
not officially yet, but people modded it to work
should be out next month iirc
meanwhile AMD cant officially backport FSR4 to RDNA 3 nor 3.5 XDDDDDDDD
at least intel cares about their older cards
radeon has been a failure for like a decade
im starting to think my pc just turned off and not that it was memory training
youre pretty much dead on accurate
its been like 15 minutes
strix halo starts to pull ahead at 35W+
I dont like when a handheld-ish device is big and heavy
yeah man your pc is not training for 15 minutes it's not HEDT xD
yeah big stuff benefits but it’d lowk be a little troublesome to just carry
even with four dual rank dimms am5 wont take more than a couple of minutes
i think i might shut down from bios not restarted
i didnt think that was possible
IMO it defeats the entire point of a handheld
if you want more than 25W just get a thin laptop
you need those exoskeleton suits
could justify either a laptop or a really small ITX pc at like 4L
it took quite a while back when i first tried to oc it, definitely close to 7 minutes
the new build is supposed to have a better IMC
our definition of OC does not count EXPO/XMP profiles at a simple 6000 btw
on 4 sticks 6000 is def an oc
its not simple because you cant reach it by just enabling expo/xmp lol
ah it had a boot failure, im glad this board actually recognizes it and i dont have to clear cmos
4 dimmers when they ramp up vsoc from 1.2 volts to 1.3 volts just to boot to windows:
(ive never dealt with full 4 dimms)
Realistically any board worth a fuck is posting 6000 on 4 sticks
it was running stable 5600 a few months back when floppa was helping me but that was on 13th gen with a shitty board
4x16gb and 4x24gb are really easy on am5, but theres no point in running those configs
oh yah it would post but fail memory tests even on my shitty board
with four dual rank dimms it does require a big bump to VSOC which cuts out shitty bin cpus
2dpc shouldn’t exist when we have 2x48gb kits 
i got 4x48 lol
there are 128GB cudimms ready to release but the memory price hikes killed them before launch xD
if NWR fixes my 2x64 kit I will sell the 4x48 happily
couldve ran 2x128gb
arguably sensible in the current market
he wants $50 to attempt the fix and $150 for fixing it
if u need more ram but cant really secure a 64gb or 96gb kit for a decent price
I considered a 2x32gb CUDIMM instead of the H24M I got but….. its micron and it was bumfuck expensive for 64
i love finding what i think is some super obscure new gpu and rghd has had a video about it for like a year
humbling
wow wont even post 5600 on the new build
obviously unideal but you do what you must at this time
you probably need to mess with sa voltage
can't you do like 9 billion on core ultra
my 265k wouldn't post 8600 on my z890 master but posted 9133 in my ocf
we were all over the bios when it ran 5600 stable
i think i had to use an excel sheet
the master was quite the pretty board ngl
@shell void i am VERY anticipating a B370/B390 handheld 
very sad that it has curse of 4 dimm slots
the woes of an atx board
i don't understand i thought the 4 dimm thing was just amd because of infinity fabric
does 4 dimms on a board make a difference if you dont use the other 2 compared to just 2?
Contemplating on UV Cathodes or not
now I have a 13900kf with 64gb that I need to do something with
basically useless because it's going to inevitably blow up, ship it to me and i will safely dispose
I guess I could give it to my gf but the build is getting lopsided
fabric has nothing to do with it
gonna be 13900kf paired with a 3070ti
4 dimms has worse signal integrity
isn't amd with 4 still way worse than intel with 4 tho
you can run 8000 xmp no problem on that board with 2 sticks it just can't do what the ocf i have can
that's more just because the amd controller sucks
lol
it’s great
it spanks amd
if only windows wasn’t a shit handheld OS 😿
oh right they were tested recently by influencers?
or am i thinking of something else
yeh full reviews for panther lake have been out for a couple of weeks
simple solution, just use windows 8
:)
does steam still support it?
Or perhaps maybe go with waveform 395nm
i think windows 7 isnt supported anymore right?
idk you can still technically get steam to launch on 7 if you try hard enough
i remember trying in a vm lol
Yep has been for almost 6-7 years at this point
jesus it makes the Z2E eat its dust
you just have to swap out some dlls or something from what i remember
it’s sad that microsoft tried to make versions of windows that were good on handhelds and dual display laptops, but people flamed them for it because it was several years too early
but now everyone loves handhelds and dual display laptops
and microsoft has to start over
for a tablet windows isnt that bad
my laptop is a 2 in 1 and if it wasnt so chunky when folded together i think id enjoy it
windows 8 was made for touchscreens, and windows 10x was made for laptops like the asus zenbook duo
y’know it wasnt popular when even one of my class’s modules had a part shitting on it 
i used 8.1 on my main pc for a few years and don’t remember having any significant issues
Microsoft surface
welp now it doesnt want to post at all
so much for the post failure recognition feature
what the heck
how is it that the board support 4x64 officially on some of the kits but not any 4x48
windows phone
ive never heard of a front hdmi port on a board, is that for aio screens?
yes
well, for add in screens in general
like those put inside cases for stat monitoring
whoever decided that i need to work on a poorly provisioned vm from a poorly provisioned vm should not be making educational tools
not really
it was definitely hotter than my 13900K even stock so idk
would imagine the real numbers being similar
chip
very true
what is the 5800x3d possibly doing down there
this is prime “i dont have a good computer or allocate my budget properly” meme
like they even give a shit about windows anymore lmao
@merry stirrup wanna help me get this running like 5400 stable
not particularly
"i am jealous of what others have"
Can't even send the poor guy a message telling about him spamming scam
I can’t even post 5400, I’ve forgotten everything I used to know about memory OC
do I want XMP enabled if I manually set 5400?
should’ve made profiles
also why would someone in the top category care about copilot, nobody cares about copilot
most boards it won’t make a difference if you’re applying manual timings anyways
some boards really like it on or the opposite
just fafo
I just don’t wanna blow up the ram
1.8 volts immediately
i have put 2 volts into my hynix memory
I’m pretty sure I have to mess with voltages for this so
.
my sister is using ram i sent 1.65v into
my bench system's daily config is 1.65v too
Hold on, how does memory training work if I enabled XMP and set the MT/s to auto, will it test everything up to that XMP profile? Or only that profile
Ok but if it for example can’t do the 6800, will it go down until it can?
no lol
Ok, so disabling XMP and setting speed to auto it will choose the fastest?
the board or cpu or memory sticks themselves have no idea what the factor causing the no boot is
i still don’t know what you’re trying to say to me
Cuz sometimes with XMP off it posts 4400, 5400, 5600
I don’t know what’s choosing the speed
Yah I am too
if you have the dram frequency set to auto then the board is picking the speed
(which is xmp when it's enabled)
if you don’t have it set to auto then it’s not freaking auto
Right its set to auto but why is the auto so different sometimes
because safeboot
you should just run jedec
i agree
if you have a use for the ram yeah
it’s faster because it sounds cool
there’s no scenario where one needs speed and capacity
if not take 2 sticks out and rock xmp
sorry not sorry
4800 is plenty fast for any scenario requiring 128gb ram
then you should do it yourself without getting hand held because it’s not your own goal
I’m not getting hand held I was asking a question, you helped me before
i was saying about helping you now to do it again
the scenario is that you use your PC for multiple things 🤔
I wasn’t asking you to set timings for me just wanted to know if there’s settings you’d start at for everything and go from there
timed out in a server asking about piracy that does piracy, hilarious
if you have 192gb of ram these days you can afford multiple single purpose pcs
then you probably don’t really care for how fast it is because you’re a reasonable person. 4800 to 6000 is a meaningless speed increase for most people
(i’m rage baiting don’t kill me)
I bought it before the jump
if you require X capacity and can’t give it up for speed then you clearly have your choice
most things requiring density are already plenty fast on existing jedec speeds
What no I can give up the speed I just wanted to see how far I can push above JEDEC safely
not you
or... hear me out... you use your PC for multiple things, not just the thing that requires a lot of capacity
and hear me out. it will be fine on the high capacity config.
nah that isn’t real
dude if you're buying 4 dual rank sticks of memory you cannot expect to be running xmp gaming speeds 😭
even gaming. i already explained it
yah 4800 is fine but I just wanted to see if it could hit 6k since I’ve seen videos of someone doing it on AM5
true, I just mean that it makes sense to find the best config you can run it at
someone has hit 6k on 192gb on am5?
no if you actually need that much ram you should be running ecc and not touching overclocking at all
since if you actually need the ram you need the capacity to be reliable
yes it does but this is also months of work and people who do this generally don’t do anything but this on their computer
i mean if you’re running ecc imo go crazy with oc who cares lol
This video serves as a guide on how to run 2DPC memory configurations (either 128gb or 192gb) at speeds far beyond the official 3600mhz spec. This is considered an overclocking guide for RAM and as such the results shown aren't guaranteed. If you decide to attempt a similar overclock, you are overclocking at your own risk and I am not responsibl...
overclocking a udimm is just low stakes gambling after stress tests
you're still not getting that even if you need that much ram for thing A, you might want it to be fast for thing B
bro i got banned from an emu server asking about emulation...
i watched seby do w9 oc with ecc and it was funny
there’s no scenario where this applies
i don’t buy registered dimms because the 2nd amendment says i have the right to bear rams
4800 jedec is more than enough for gaming
or something like that
this is my overall point
who is gaming on a production system
there is no slow ddr5 config realistically
wdym "production system"
there is slower
9995wx owners probably
if you own that chip i hope you can buy more than 1 computer
your ram is not what holds you back in that scenario
it’s the cpu itself
week 1: 9995wx, week 2-900: ice soup
i mean it’s still pretty baller for gaming
