Zen 6 delayed to 2027 🤨

[turbid locust]

babe it was always gonna be 2027

[frank zealot]

zero surprise

[pure garnet]

that just means this is the year of nova lake

[frank zealot]

mid-late this year was optimistic. And AMD is under zero pressure to release something better

[shell void]

i imagine realistic nvl bllc availability will also be early 2027

paper launch at the end of the year

[brisk jolt]

zen -6% marketshare

[frank zealot]

we sold out immediately!
(of the 100 chips we sent to retail)

[brisk jolt]

I imagine there’ll be plenty stock by March

[shell void]

amd putting out 6 core ryzen 5s in 2027 while intel will have 22+ core ultra 5s

[turbid locust]

And it’ll still win in gaming somehow

[turbid locust]

also there will be no 6 core zen 6

[shell void]

the ultra 5 250k+ is 6p12e so ultra 5 nova lake will at least be 6+12+4, if not even more

potentially 8+16+4 ultra 5 versus amd’s rumored 6 or 8 core ryzen 5s xd

[shell void]

latest rumor says there will be

supposedly the lineup is
6, 8, 10, 12, 8+8, 10+10, and 12+12

[turbid locust]

I can’t see them cutting 8 core CCDs down to 6 cores

[brisk jolt]

icl using a controller still feels weird

but the quality is pretty neat

[pure garnet]

12 core ccds being cut to 6

😭

[turbid locust]

I grew up swapping between controller and KBM so no issues for me

[turbid locust]

oh yeah you’re right LOL

I’m mildly intoxicated on a plane just chilling at an airport sorry

[frank zealot]

R3's will happen somewhere

PLEASE bring back Ryzen 3’s im serious

perfect “I just wanna fuckin mem oc” chips

[pure garnet]

dude when i flew back to my airport after charlotte stop i had to get on some tiny plane

[turbid locust]

[merry stirrup]

disregard women acquire currency

[turbid locust]

EXACTLY

[frank zealot]

I wonder if a 12 core CCD could be designed to be able to be split into 2x 6 core CCDs....

[turbid locust]

CCX’s make a comeback???

[merry stirrup]

but why

[frank zealot]

Ryzen 3's could exist again.

Fusing off half of a 12 core CCD is a super waste of money

but splitting it into 2x 6 core? not unreasonable

[merry stirrup]

that is assuming nothing is wrong with all 12 cores which is typically not what happens

[frank zealot]

That's what R5's are for

[shell void]

that's why this latest rumor pisses me off

theyre going to be wasting a ton of leading edge silicon by disabling half of a CCD that is probably totally fine in most cases during this period of inflated pricing

[pure garnet]

are you even able to split a ccd in half

[frank zealot]

it'd have to be designed around the concept, which is why I was pondering if it was possible

[pure garnet]

i think he never stops

[shell void]

last i heard mac was already on his 4th bourbon

[merry stirrup]

thats the method

love this guy but bro says like everything is the reason gpus die

[brisk jolt]

Got it. I wont mix the T1000 with the 5090.

[merry stirrup]

good idea fo sho

noah has got to step it up

[shell void]

noah why are you doing this to yourself

[merry stirrup]

in game name is "girlsoftarkov"

insane

[turbid locust]

optimal

[frank zealot]

I mean, I get why people like LM

But it also does destroy PCBs and shit

get warshipped

[turbid locust]

wow that’s warshipped lol

[merry stirrup]

yeah i chose a poor example but he says "X gpu will fail soon and heres why" type shit quite often

[shell void]

wtf ramp is that

[turbid locust]

the ramp of goats

[topaz veldt]

bro didn't pay the extra $8

[turbid locust]

bro got diverted

we’ve been sitting here for over an hour lmao

[brisk jolt]

stay away from RDNA as a whole ✅

[shell void]

mac stumbling up the ramp to his economy class spirit airlines seat after downing four $15 swigs of bottom shelf bourbon

[turbid locust]

bitch do you wanna see my leg room rn

[merry stirrup]

mac would be the person to spend his money on the expensive bourbon

which is why hes in economy

[turbid locust]

fuck your economy

[merry stirrup]

this is mac

"this gpu is well designed" = 50 views
"this gpu is going to fucking explode" = 50000 views

[merry stirrup]

i mean yeah but it gets tuah point

[brisk jolt]

i thought u were standing icl

[turbid locust]

LOL

[merry stirrup]

is the views worth it if watch time is still probably not that high

idk how allat works

[shell void]

the trick is to do what buildzoid did with his 3090ti videos by combining the titles

[brisk jolt]

the china guy doing gpu repairs is more interesting than this

[shell void]

"this gpu is well designed and WONT fucking explode like xyz"

[brisk jolt]

“his wife got angry and trashed his pc and his 5080 got damaged”

[merry stirrup]

oh i mean nwr is peak at tech repair in the states i wont lie tho

does multi layer trace repair i think thats basically as good as one gets

[shell void]

frame chasers exploded the aorus 5090 master that he bought by warping the pcb with a heatgun during a shunt mod and causing a short

[merry stirrup]

lMFAO

[shell void]

hes gonna have NWR fix it, i hope there's a video on it

[merry stirrup]

"heat gun doing shuntmod"

[shell void]

well he also soldered a second power connector on

[merry stirrup]

where and how does the heatgun get involved in a shunt mod

[slim pebble]

NWR is going to roast him for that

[merry stirrup]

this is why getting a real hot air station is generally recommended

[brisk jolt]

“this is why kids you shunt it properly and the 5090 sucks”

[merry stirrup]

coulda spent 70$ on proper temp control so you can mod your 2000$ gpu

[shell void]

shunting a 5090 is completely pointless if youre not also going to use EVC anyway

you hit vrel cap before hitting the 800w limit

[merry stirrup]

second connector same same

[shell void]

i think it's valid to put on a second connector just for peace of mind if youre going to run the 800w vbios

[brisk jolt]

play stupid games do stupid shit in them and win stupid prizes

[merry stirrup]

generally

idk sometimes you win

[turbid locust]

Does it just… accept the second connector or do you need to run like the Lightning bios for it to do anything

[shell void]

it just takes it on the gigabyte pcb

[merry stirrup]

it just accepts it

[turbid locust]

swag

[merry stirrup]

yeah

[brisk jolt]

but the original connector will still be doing the main work no?

[merry stirrup]

power takes whatever path it wants

[brisk jolt]

oh

[merry stirrup]

(least resistance)

[shell void]

iirc it ends up at like a 66:33 split

so it's still helping reduce load on the main connector

[merry stirrup]

yeah thats quite a bit of margin atp

[edgy laurel]

hello

[merry stirrup]

you can put power connectors on basically any card you want it just doesnt do much very often

[turbid locust]

hi guilty

[brisk jolt]

its a peace of mind, but then again 500w power limited and the cable still goin kaboom is unfortunate for the guy lol

whats good guilty

[merry stirrup]

the card doesnt care about phsyical 12v inputs past what was there originally

[shell void]

people still get melts on 350w cards sometimes

melts occur when only one or two of the six power wires are handling almost all of the amperage

if 5 or ideally 6 are working then youre fine even up to 1000w with modest airflow

[turbid locust]

wireview save me

[brisk jolt]

introducing another point of failure-

[merry stirrup]

just ball until your computer doesnt turn on the next day its that simple

[turbid locust]

real asf

[shell void]

just game until you smell the gpu

[merry stirrup]

when the 5070ti is evc'ed this is literally what the plan is

im gonna shunt it, evc it. daily it at 1.2v, it dies it dies

[pure garnet]

just do what that one twitter girl did and fire up marvel rivals when your gpu wires are on fire

[turbid locust]

It won’t die, it has my signature on it

[shell void]

i run a 0.95v limit because i can still get 2800MHz and it chops 100-200W off for minimal loss

[merry stirrup]

TRUE

[shell void]

it even helps efficiency while watching youtube with rtx vsr and such so it's nice

[turbid locust]

I need to play with VSR

[topaz veldt]

finally got 8000 stable on this 9950X3D

[merry stirrup]

RTX VSR is good

a definite enable

[merry stirrup]

you kinda just turn it on and thats it

[turbid locust]

word

[merry stirrup]

you can turn on the indicator if you want

[brisk jolt]

what other thing than just sliding the slider to the max

[pure garnet]

i don't think i will

[merry stirrup]

i like the indicator

[turbid locust]

guys stfu

[edgy laurel]

if 4k, its necessary. and you'll find out why when you turn it off after a week or two and wonder why some videos look terrible

[merry stirrup]

fr

[brisk jolt]

1080p>1440p and I still noticed differences when watching a race

[pure garnet]

why do u use vga res man

[edgy laurel]

i'm that weirdo

[brisk jolt]

Because I’ve no time to swap over

[merry stirrup]

nah i fw the indicator guilty

[shell void]

XD

[brisk jolt]

Im doing it like next month where the current QHD 360 goes goodbye

[shell void]

mfs get mad when i call 1440p retro but you could run it with a dvi cable in 2004

[edgy laurel]

its actually kinda dumb to add overlays on oled but i don't care, i get tingly inside knowing its working

[brisk jolt]

its completely valid… we need to know if its working

[merry stirrup]

literally this

i just swap where it shows up for what overlays i can configure

like ill alternate RTSS corners

[cosmic gazelle]

floppa you’ll be happy to know i refunded the gene and im just gonna use the $40 ud5h instead

because the guy selling the gene is a bum

[merry stirrup]

not really but W

[cosmic gazelle]

i’m just gonna use a test bench so i switched from the silver soul to a regular pa120

[merry stirrup]

beeg

since haswell you should buy one of the 11$ 115X delidders and some LM

[cosmic gazelle]

yeah i was gonna do that after i see what i can do with stock thermals

is it really safe to just use the mounting pressure to re-hold the IHS on

[merry stirrup]

usually its a 15-20 deg drop but id imagine on the higher end for haswell

[merry stirrup]

i used my 7700k like that for 2 years or something and my 13900KS for a year or something

more than fine

[cosmic gazelle]

ok makes sense then

is the whole nail polish thing super risky or is it pretty safe if you’re careful

[merry stirrup]

i have an HP mini pc with a 4670 i did before the 7700K as practice and its also fine

[merry stirrup]

haswell i'd 100% do it

theres like a million smd's right next to the die on haswell

[cosmic gazelle]

but if you cover em it’s safe to use lm if i’ve never used it?

[merry stirrup]

you can just use a cut piece of tape

like electrical tape

[cosmic gazelle]

i also have an i5-4670 that i don’t really care if it goes kaboom so maybe ill practice on that

[merry stirrup]

yeah, also if you kill a like 10$ cpu is it that deep or do you have one of the flagships i dont rmemeber

[cosmic gazelle]

i’m using a 4790k

[merry stirrup]

oh i mean buy a 4570k or something first and youll nail it p quick and have another chip to mess with

4690K? dude haswell was dumb idk

[cosmic gazelle]

lmao

4670k and 4690k are both skus

[merry stirrup]

yeah

[pure garnet]

6700k is the endgame ddr3 cpu

[merry stirrup]

no its not

[edgy laurel]

mmmm 4690k

[merry stirrup]

its the 9900K

[cosmic gazelle]

9900k technically

with sharpie

[pure garnet]

nah bc 67

[merry stirrup]

oh true

[cosmic gazelle]

why didn’t i think of that

[cosmic gazelle]

also floppa 16gb of enthusiast 2133 ddr3 is still only $30 and i’m saving $100 by switching platforms so i might pick some up

[merry stirrup]

12 whole dollars each holy shit

[edgy laurel]

get out

[merry stirrup]

enthusiast ddr3 means not much

[turbid locust]

me when I’m on my 6th or 7th bourbon

nah fr we’re finally moving soon, I was about to ask for a 4th

[merry stirrup]

lots of stuff rated for 2400 even thats just not that good from an oc perspective if you get unlucky

[fringe vigil]

6 7

[merry stirrup]

30$ is 30$ may as well buy it as an ok kit to play with at first

[fringe vigil]

i hate that meme so much

[hoary hatch]

Then why did you say it

[turbid locust]

you know what I love though?

BOURBON I LOVE BOURBON

[merry stirrup]

ya mamma

[slim pebble]

2000/2000/4000 uclk/fclk/memclk?

[hoary hatch]

Ya know what, I support your bourbon drinking.
Bourbon barrels make for some great beers

[edgy laurel]

lmao you know those horrible, shaky cam, dark and ultimately useless videos people upload here to ask why something is happening to their pc

[turbid locust]

found footage ahh videos

[edgy laurel]

i made one at one point. who the fuck knows what for

[turbid locust]

“Guys which dip switch do I flip”

old ahh mf

we still love ya tho

[edgy laurel]

i dunno wtf I was trying to show

[pure garnet]

msi armor gpu mentioned

[turbid locust]

exposed heatpipes

[edgy laurel]

those gen MSI coolers were so good

[merry stirrup]

thats not armor

[edgy laurel]

twinfrozr

[merry stirrup]

thats gaming x

yeah have some respect

[pure garnet]

wa wa wa

[merry stirrup]

armor is shit, and white

[pure garnet]

the red armor

[merry stirrup]

unless you get armor v2

those ones are fine but not da same smh

[edgy laurel]

it was this one

[merry stirrup]

gaming x prolly 1070 or something idk

[edgy laurel]

it was a 1070 gaming x yeah

[merry stirrup]

i had a gaming x 980

[pure garnet]

when i was first building a pc i got a blower vega 56 over an rx 580 because i wanted a gpu that looked better than the armors

[merry stirrup]

you made the right choice on accident

[edgy laurel]

notice how tall they are, the fans were bigger than most other coolers at the time

and the card itself is tall AF for that era

[pure garnet]

and the gigabyte dual fan vega 56 only had a review of "my shit caught fire do not buy" so i heeded his call

[edgy laurel]

I had to buy low profile 6 and 8 pin PCIe power adapters to get the top of that Corsair 250D to close

[frank zealot]

MSI made so many cards that looked like that

[edgy laurel]

heat pipes look like headers

[frank zealot]

like, come on, be at least a little original

[merry stirrup]

no i loved them

they were great coolers and looked visually nice

[edgy laurel]

yeah that was just the TwinFrozr design of the era

[pure garnet]

@merry stirrup this was my first card

[shell void]

1070 goated

[pure garnet]

shit said phantom gaming on the back

[edgy laurel]

this was the exact card I had

[merry stirrup]

my monitor screams that at me every time i turn it on

[shell void]

i ran my watercooled 1070 at 75W for my daily config xD

[merry stirrup]

specifically the mining version

[shell void]

the power density of pascal was nothing

[edgy laurel]

in fact here it is + hot sauce

[pure garnet]

i never power cycle my asus monitor because it takes like 5s to boot

[merry stirrup]

but a 30s tiktok of something interesting can slide

[edgy laurel]

and its replacement (that sucked ass but was still faster)

[fringe vigil]

falalala la la la

[pure garnet]

yeah

[merry stirrup]

you acan tell those ones were shittier tho

1050ti cooler looks tiny

[edgy laurel]

i did sell that 2080S at only a $100 loss cause the GPU shortage of 2021 was ramping up

[merry stirrup]

i sold my 2070s at a loss during gpu shortage too wow

[pure garnet]

i lost nothing on the vega 56 bc of the gpu shortage

i bought it for 250 and sold it for 250

[merry stirrup]

i have no idea how much i paid for my 2070s

prolly 250 and i sold it for 180

[pure garnet]

i played the most games on the 3700x+2060

[merry stirrup]

i know i sold it for 180

[pure garnet]

now i just open final fantasy and tetris

[topaz veldt]

So this happened lol

[frank zealot]

at least MSI did change designs for the 1600 / 2000 / 5000 series lol

[edgy laurel]

interference motor

[topaz veldt]

No I took it apart

[merry stirrup]

every couple of days this goes down by 100$

[edgy laurel]

oh

[topaz veldt]

It caught fire

[pure garnet]

why is that case bezel so big

[frank zealot]

oops

[edgy laurel]

ahh, she was so sexy

[pure garnet]

if you wanna see crazy people pull up lost connections on craigslist

[merry stirrup]

i think its old nzxt? i cant tell

clearly an old case carried over tho

what

wait theres an aio

its just sitting in there

bro what

is this someones custom loop he salvaged?? 😭

[edgy laurel]

wait what

[pure garnet]

that's like the guy that bought a 5090 ventus cooler to leave in his case

[merry stirrup]

bro i hate this

its a newer aio i think

[pure garnet]

no that's just an aio

[edgy laurel]

that upset me so much i went to bed

[merry stirrup]

bro

its square

kinda looks thermal right ey

man whatever its annoying me

[pure garnet]

honestly that's the reddit warrior right there

evga, thermalright

[merry stirrup]

12900K

cpu exhaust fan probably facing the wrong way

[fringe vigil]

The most amazing gpu I have ever owned in my life nothing felt as good as the 3090, was truly gutted when I gave it away

[edgy laurel]

you wot

[fringe vigil]

?

[edgy laurel]

gave it away

[fringe vigil]

for money obvs

[edgy laurel]

ok good

[merry stirrup]

speaking of coolers i know im late but this is probably my favorite cooler design

[edgy laurel]

flops i dunno bout that one

[merry stirrup]

not my specific model but its an R9 280X Direct CU2 Top

they did 700 series ones too

[merry stirrup]

nice chonky card

[edgy laurel]

yeah but copper existed

[merry stirrup]

do those ones get a backplate

[edgy laurel]

good question

[merry stirrup]

not super super into the copper color for what i like in my puter

i like red and black

its there HOF ddr5

[pure garnet]

red go fast

[merry stirrup]

oh there is and its gross, sad

[odd sable]

an optimization update
will be much more than just one update, and with the initial port don't expect massive perf gains.
the first part will be getting VK stable enough to be default, then remove GL, then make it faster

[merry stirrup]

this looks absolutely no different than my klevv sticks

not cool like their DDR4

[civic reef]

The case?

[merry stirrup]

no the aio in it doing nothing

[edgy laurel]

RAM looks i've settled and I don't think it'll ever change. Outside of the ones with the neon tubes that glow or whatever, Ballistix matte black military looking DDR4 and those high gloss almost piano black g.skill CK DDR5 dimms are peak for me

[civic reef]

It's there for emotional support

[merry stirrup]

ballistix red is one of my fav designs

[edgy laurel]

ok yeah same design but its red

[edgy laurel]

yes, you weirdly in that pic you canhardly tell they're red

[merry stirrup]

shouldve taken my chance when a kit of them was 30$ 2 years ago

[edgy laurel]

ya i like that design. was available in RGB too

simple

[merry stirrup]

rgb ram makes me kinda mad from a ram oc standpoint but i have dimms with it anyways so what do i know

i used my fingernail to peel the LED's off my klevv kit

[edgy laurel]

then for DDR5, i simply don't think anyone can overtake how good these look (to me)

the gloss

[merry stirrup]

gskill and their rgb is quite nice i wont lie

and who doesnt like piano gloss on things we dont fondle daily

[edgy laurel]

ha, yeah. its fine cause you don't touch it

much

[merry stirrup]

yeah i mean id wear gloves putting them in lowkey just cause 💀

[edgy laurel]

like those youtube build videos

[merry stirrup]

i dont want there to be a glaring fingerprint on my dimms when i take a photo

[merry stirrup]

"MOST EPIC COMPUTER EVER"

(its just a 7700k and a gtx 1080)

[edgy laurel]

uuuugh

[merry stirrup]

what dimms do you have now? tg stuff?

[edgy laurel]

they're actually the same heatspreader just the OG TridentZ5 Neos

and not glossy

[merry stirrup]

ok so same

[edgy laurel]

non-RGB

[merry stirrup]

https://www.amazon.com/G-Skill-Trident-8000MHz-1-45V-Channel/dp/B0BRL75D7Y

only 550$ now

oh mine are RGB

[edgy laurel]

yeah, at the time $265 seemed crazy for RAM..

little did we know

[merry stirrup]

yeah i paid 240$ for my kit right before it went crazy

and even then that was the high side for DDR5 8000

[edgy laurel]

ok yeah this was late 2022

[merry stirrup]

yeah i bought this one a couple months ago lol

october or something

[merry stirrup]

funnily enough i have no pictures of my ocf with the gskill dimms lol

but here, the ocf and some greenies

[topaz veldt]

Can anyone even find the GSkill 9000 CL42 CK dimms for sale?

[merry stirrup]

yeah

[edgy laurel]

i'm sorry but that board is fugly lmao

I saw them at like $900

[merry stirrup]

is it even your best kit is what i wanna know

[topaz veldt]

Its my weirdest kit

[merry stirrup]

CKD yeah

[topaz veldt]

I don't test them in the AMD shit

[merry stirrup]

seems to do that for everyone its just weird

[edgy laurel]

(i've never pressed these)

[merry stirrup]

yeah fair

[fringe vigil]

still got a 7900x

[topaz veldt]

my 2nd weirdest kit is this

[merry stirrup]

i use my onboard power button all the time

[edgy laurel]

me? no, sold that a while ago

[merry stirrup]

ryzen tax man

[topaz veldt]

but

6000 CL26 H24M is weird

[merry stirrup]

h24m is weird

[fringe vigil]

what you got now

[merry stirrup]

as i see more people use it i want it less and less

[edgy laurel]

7800x3D

[topaz veldt]

I have to admit.... my H16A is more stable usually

[merry stirrup]

and trfc is like 50ns faster lol

[steel stream]

heavy is the head that wears the crown of real tech knowledge

[merry stirrup]

yeah im just waiting for h32m/a/whatever they want to call their good 32gbit stuff to be cheap in 100 years

no real interest in DR

[turbid locust]

connection got rebooked and I still don’t leave for another 3 hours almost

[edgy laurel]

all i see is damage reduction

[merry stirrup]

3 more bourbons

[turbid locust]

more like 7

[merry stirrup]

7 more bourbons

[turbid locust]

American lounge hates to see me coming

[turbid locust]

I need food first tho I’m hungry

[topaz veldt]

So apparently I have an extra hot end

[shell void]

i’m prolly gonna run my 2x24 kit at 8000 jedec in z990 until someone figures ram tuning for nova lake

[turbid locust]

Figure it out yourself be a pioneer

[merry stirrup]

why not just run it at the xmp profile that they already verified

[shell void]

“verified” this is patriot we’re talking about

i’ll give it a shot but i don’t expect it to work

[merry stirrup]

why did you of all people buy the cheap ram

[topaz veldt]

Whats annoying is how much hotter H24M runs

I can run 32GB H16A @ CL30 with like 1.65v and it runs similar to H24M 8000 CL38 @ 1.45v

[merry stirrup]

density is a helluva thing

[pure garnet]

none of the 3 xmp profiles worked on my sticks 💀

[merry stirrup]

hynix also sucks at making efficient ram since ddr, like 3

[shell void]

i mean it’s still a 2x24 kit for $160 bro i can’t be upset even if it’s 8kcl40 instead of cl36

[topaz veldt]

I had to give up on max trefi on this SFF build

[merry stirrup]

i was trolling but i find it interesting how many of those kits have issues

[pure garnet]

pretty sure even 7600c36 wasn't working bro

[merry stirrup]

if not on zen i dont really care if max trefi is possible or not just give me a good amount over trfc and im good

[shell void]

i only tried 8K and my tomahawk can’t do it with the 9800x3d so idk

i had no issues posting cl36 1.4vdd reliably

[merry stirrup]

tcl is generally not the issue but like rcd and stuff

[pure garnet]

well yeah my master posted everytime but it never lived

[topaz veldt]

This is where I am at to keep them from cooking

[merry stirrup]

5090 hurts doesnt it man

[pure garnet]

returning the patriot kit for my gskill 8000c38 was the best decision i made

[topaz veldt]

No, SFF hurts

[merry stirrup]

well its a 5090 in an sff case i dont think if you had a 5070 we'd be in this boat lol

[topaz veldt]

I am not even doing GPU stuff yet

[shell void]

probably still would

[topaz veldt]

This is just 9950X3D and 8000 M/Ts crammed into here

[merry stirrup]

run naked for itx prolly best

[shell void]

ram fan is not optional for intel or dual ccd memory tuning

[merry stirrup]

it definitely is

[topaz veldt]

this helped

[merry stirrup]

i am without one as we are typing

8600 modified xmp just fine

[shell void]

i am not going to count 1.4v configs with loose refresh being bench and karhu stable

[merry stirrup]

just dont ram 120ns rfc or max refi

[shell void]

12 hours of y cruncher with simultaneous gpu heat if not waterblocked is my standard for a daily config

[pure garnet]

what happened to 9000

[merry stirrup]

equilibrium is enough if you know you ram is stable in the first place

[merry stirrup]

moving bioses and stuff for oc comp reset erry thang and i wanted to play apex at a resaonable fps the day i re-setup

was tired of the a750 at 100fps

[shell void]

hopium that these work in mainstream boards even if you’ll get zero optimization or support

[pure garnet]

hardest part of tuning on intel is giving up zentimings

[merry stirrup]

thats real and i dont even like ryzen

zen timings is just much nicer to look at

[steel stream]

my hopium is real low tbh

[merry stirrup]

pyhwinfo is pretty bad

[shell void]

i’d get the lowest power 12 core one to use in my jellyfin box if it somehow worked but i don’t think it will

[merry stirrup]

yeah we're not seeing this

going to be microcode locked like how modern desktop socket xeons r

[shell void]

the jellyfin box will most likely end up with a 24 core non-3d zen 6 cpu and the B580

[pure garnet]

why not just keep the 14900k in it

[shell void]

naw i know

[shell void]

14900K will likely go to padre to replace his 10900F

zen 6 and nova lake at my desk

[merry stirrup]

damn

[pure garnet]

i need a new mouse at some point

the 2 year old viper v3 pro with a cracked bottom case may be due for replacement

[merry stirrup]

(he just wants a superstrike- oh damn)

[shell void]

or maybe zen 6 will be so underwhelming that i just give my padre the AM5 board and run double intel at my desk, we shall see

hard to be excited about it when intel offers more than twice as many cores

[merry stirrup]

the longest ive had a mouse is only like a year or so i think

[pure garnet]

i do but they're unobtanium rn

i've daily'd this mf since august of 2024

[merry stirrup]

i swap quite often idk

[merry stirrup]

damn

[green marsh]

A3-mATX ended up being much bigger than i expected from the pictures

[young void]

[green marsh]

also with my lame 1080 Ti, i could easily fit a non-modular PSU and still have lot of room to spare LOL

[shell void]

oh geez i haven’t replaced my mouse since march 2024

i also usually just replace my mouse instead of buying new skates or anything

[green marsh]

only issue i had was the bottom fans, because the aftermarket cooler + PCIe slot location on my china X99 board didn't allow me to use 25mm tall fans

[shell void]

my zeromouse blade will arrive eventually

[merry stirrup]

stock skates on most mice are dog

[pure garnet]

i use tiger ice skates

[merry stirrup]

that is also what i use

i wanna get sapphire dots for my corsair thing whatever its called

[shell void]

i didn’t have a problem with the skates on my egg op1 which is what i’ve had since 03/24

[merry stirrup]

fair

[topaz veldt]

I got crazy skatesa on my basilisk and it made it almost unusable though

[merry stirrup]

i didnt like the stock ones on my scyrox they were especially bad

superlight they were pretty gross, i didnt even try the stock corsair ones

[topaz veldt]

I am looking for a new desk pad - I go through these felt ones way too fast. anyone have any recommendations

[shell void]

do you wash them? soft pads last me a long time

[merry stirrup]

i like my artisan pads idk if they do whole desk deals

steel series qck also good

[topaz veldt]

these are felt so they .... do this

[steel stream]

5nail, I saw a car today with the drive shaft scraping against the ground in the rear

[topaz veldt]

like it was hanging?

[steel stream]

yeah

[topaz veldt]

how was it driving lol

[steel stream]

was only in a residential area so ok, but that's gotta be brutal

[topaz veldt]

yeah so - imagine that happening at like 100 mph

it will literally tear the floor of the car out

BMW driveshafts have CV joints in the rear, but many have typical U-joints that break

[steel stream]

i can imagine, even in residential area I was like what the fuck

[merry stirrup]

consider artisans if you want like peak imo

[shell void]

that material does not please me

[topaz veldt]

it works great for a while and then...

and they are like $15

but this is like my 3rd one in a year and a half

[craggy mist]

hey i ahve tha mouse

im so cool

[merry stirrup]

https://www.amazon.com/ARTISAN-Zero-Black-FX-ZR-SF-XL-Japan/dp/B07FBRRP8G

this is the XL, i think you can custom order pads tho from their site

[shell void]

if i’m using a soft pad i prefer the 5mm thick polyester ones

they don’t feel gross and withstand several washes

[topaz veldt]

do they make a desk mat version

I like having a big area to put shit so i don't scratch my desk up

[shell void]

i despise polyester in any other situation but it works for a mouse mat

[merry stirrup]

i think you have to custom order, only seen like heresay of people getting mat sized ones cause theyre quite pricey as pads

i paid 85 for my wine red artisan hien non FX in just a large

[topaz veldt]

how are the LTT black ones

[merry stirrup]

people who buy them seem to love them but after buying an artisan i dont really like anyone elses pads lol

is there steelseries QCK mats?

oh yeah there is

consider that. i have a QCK control pad and its quite good, pretty similar to the artisan, bigger and half the price of it (i still use the artisan)

[merry stirrup]

nvm mine is an fx

[south shuttle]

i’ve had like lenovo legion desk mat and it was pretty good

[topaz veldt]

looking

[south shuttle]

for the price

[karmic folio]

would be nice if artisan pads werent 4999$

[merry stirrup]

only bought the qck cause i thought my artisan was messed up but its not lol

but the qck is honestly pretty good for how cheap it is

quite similar to an artisan and literally half the cost

[topaz veldt]

oh the QcK XXL is not bad

[merry stirrup]

thats what im lookin at

[topaz veldt]

will try one

[merry stirrup]

if the mat is like the pad it should be a pretty nice experience

[topaz veldt]

and then they wash ok'/

[merry stirrup]

since you had a felt one ill tell you this, they dont exactly feel like a cat

a rougher fabric

[merry stirrup]

yeah ive washed my artisan 4 times or so now and its fine

i dont use a washing machine to wash my pads because i want to baby them, but sponge, laundry soap and hot water in the bathtub

(the dryer is what i avoid most, i let my stuff airdry flat)

[topaz veldt]

the felt is coarse af

Yeah I have bath tubbed pads before

I just don't want the fabric to come off the foam

[pure garnet]

i go outside with dawn dish soap, the hose, and an automotive brush

then let the sun bake it dry

[merry stirrup]

automotive brush seems to aggressive to me but maybe im thinking wrong

[shell void]

i use dish soap on a wash cloth in the bathtub and then towel+air dry them

[pure garnet]

for the artisan it probably is a bit aggressive but i just a groupbuy deskmat from like 5 years ago

[shell void]

buffing tools and the sun both sound needlessly aggressive

[merry stirrup]

@topaz veldt idk if this gives you any sense

[merry stirrup]

yeah thats why i avoid the dryer

[zinc badge]

Does anyone here know what it means when my 2nd monitor goes 70% black and starts flickering (1 sec delay). And my 1st monitor goes sometimes full grey.

[pure garnet]

this is what i use

[merry stirrup]

not pushing down at all just using my non existant nails

[pure garnet]

nah it's not a buffing tool it's just a brush

[shell void]

omg same but black and white

and from a random chinese brand

[merry stirrup]

my roomie uses an xray pad thing as a deskmat then a black artisan on top of it

not a fan of whole mats myself so i just use big pad

[cosmic gazelle]

what do you guys think the best gpu for $40 is if i get a deal

like a vega 56?

[merry stirrup]

1070 or 1080 or something

vega56 is honestly worth 40$

[cosmic gazelle]

i kinda wanna try the bios flash thing

[merry stirrup]

driver issues and efficiency issues make it worth a little less than the equivalent nvidia cards

which i mean a 1070 is 60-80ish dollars and a 1080 is about 100

[cosmic gazelle]

ya that makes sense

[shell void]

a pen and paper

[cosmic gazelle]

just draw the frames myself

[shell void]

exactly

the used gpu market is kinda rough rn

[merry stirrup]

quite

[cosmic gazelle]

i don’t really need one i was just thinkin about getting something better than the p1000 since im not sff anymore

[shell void]

2080 super is the cheapest card that is still competent in newer games, but $150-170 isn’t that much less money than a 4060 or 5050 which give you a similar experience with 1/3rd the power

[merry stirrup]

better DLSS experience

[cosmic gazelle]

no i don’t need a good gpu i have a 3080 lol

this is like a media center that occasionally games

[merry stirrup]

my rtx 4k do that quite nicely

[shell void]

perfect use case for a 5050 tbf

gpu that barely scales above 75W and has current gen media and display hardware

[cosmic gazelle]

ima college student i ain’t got 200 bucks for a gpu for a system that cost less than that total

damn vega 56 prices are ASS

I shoulda known, hbm card

[shell void]

idk perhaps a gtx 1650 if you want something small and low power for a lower price

[cosmic gazelle]

low power isn’t really a priority

[merry stirrup]

just wait around local markets

seen 4 or so go for about 40$ lol

i was gonna buy one for 35 but bro sold it to someone else before i could go pick it up

like obvi its not crucial you get the absolute best so dont really wait that long but

yknow a week while you find and consider options

[cosmic gazelle]

guy in costa mesa has a 1650 super for 50 bucks which is around the power level i’m going for, but i’m gonna keep watch for a couple weeks

[merry stirrup]

50$ not bad

those are still 4g tho right

[cosmic gazelle]

yeah but i don’t play anything on that system that uses more

[shell void]

sounds good for that price

[merry stirrup]

yeah seems pretty legit

[cosmic gazelle]

1070 for 60

[random flame]

Fair enough.

[merry stirrup]

lowball 50 and pick it up :nod

no more nitro i forgot

imagine a blob nodding there

[shell void]

also good

1070 scales well down to lower power

[merry stirrup]

most of pascal does

[shell void]

it’ll happily drop from 150 to 125 or 100 with almost no loss

i dailied mine at 75w

[merry stirrup]

insane

opposite spectrum for me and my 1080

had xoc vbios and 1.2 v daily on it

[shell void]

XD

[cosmic gazelle]

titan x for 150 which is way too much power but still kinda badass

[shell void]

i only played csgo, minecraft, and roblox at that time so i was cpu limited even on a 75W 1070 with low settings

[merry stirrup]

yeah that card was insane

i have a screenshot of 500+w on it

[shell void]

gets brutalized by a 2080 super for the same price

[shell void]

i didn’t know you could a 1080 that high with normal cooling

[cosmic gazelle]

r9 fury for $20 which is a terrible idea but sounds hilarious

[shell void]

it’s basically a 4GB radeon 1070

[merry stirrup]

id buy it basically instantly

only L is drivers but very cool cards

[cosmic gazelle]

i hear the drivers are a real nightmare these days

yeah

[merry stirrup]

can try r.id drivers

[merry stirrup]

yeah it was tough but i had a strix so

2.3ghz GTX 1080 daily lol

[cosmic gazelle]

it’s also in norwalk which is a 90 minute drive both ways so i’ll pass

[shell void]

you can have a great time with older radeon cards in linux

if you barely play games, especially newer ones on this pc then that’s not a bad idea

[merry stirrup]

apparently during this it was at 76c

according to my discord logs from 2022

cant say the strix did a bad job at cooling

[cosmic gazelle]

i mean people are still selling 8gb rx 580s for around 50 bucks so might just end up with one of those

[civic reef]

Okay so, the market is actually fairly okay when I check FBMP

[merry stirrup]

rather the 1650s wont hold u

or the 1070

[civic reef]

220 for what otherwise costs 320ish

[cosmic gazelle]

yeah i just need something that isn’t 50 miles away because at a certain point gas price adds to the cost significantly

[civic reef]

580s & 1060s have been at that range for a while yeah

[shell void]

this is the only screenshot that i have of testing my 1070 many years ago

36c at peak clock with 112% PL lmao

[merry stirrup]

lol

yeah the xoc vbios for the 1080 just

removed the idea of a pl to the card

there was no power limit % anymore

it just drew watts and couldnt go past 1.2 v

which is the max the voltage controller can request in software

[low sorrel]

the fan is at 43% fan speed lol

[shell void]

that’s what the lightning xoc vbios for the 5090 does

[cosmic gazelle]

oooh yknow what i could try to do is find an a380 listed by someone who doesn’t know what they have

[shell void]

it’s 1.2v constant and 2500w

[cosmic gazelle]

that’d be a fun card to play with

[merry stirrup]

yeah but the strix didnt have a limit at all period

[topaz veldt]

I have the best GPU - GTX 1050

[merry stirrup]

the power limit was "0"

never seen any other vbios like that

[shell void]

it was using that kraken aio bracket so it had a 360mm rad on it which was mega overkill for a 1070

[low sorrel]

snail did you see the new gamemode coming to arc next week?

[green marsh]

will never beat my ex-mining blower 1080 Ti for 70 euros tho (2 years ago). Upgraded with aftermarket air cooler (Raijintek Morpheus for 40 euros)

[merry stirrup]

that was my plan for the 1080 until i learned the air cooler was ok

[cosmic gazelle]

damn there’s just straight up not a single used a380 on all of ebay

got it

[shell void]

my 750Ti mogs that

zotac with single small orange fan optimal

[cosmic gazelle]

gtx 745:

[merry stirrup]

i had an msi GTX 1050 so bad that it didnt get pwm fan control

[shell void]

i keep the 750Ti because it’s the newest slot powered card that has analog dvi

incase i miraculously stumble across a cool old monitor somehow

[merry stirrup]

yeah that one

[cosmic gazelle]

i haven’t had any issues with a basic hdmi to dvi cable

[pure garnet]

i think at one point i considered doing it to the evga ko

then i got given the 6700xt

[merry stirrup]

6700K+6700XT may just be all you need in 2026

[pure garnet]

7800x3d+6700xt is my side system

[cosmic gazelle]

67maxxing

[pure garnet]

because a big floppa bought out all my shit

its also ram overclocked

the a750 changed the low noise part

is a 5500 xt better than a 1070?

of course internally it is disturbing, but hey...

well, my HTPC is a Z77 board with 3570K from 2012. True, the decoding is done by Arc A380, but still.

i got given the board several several years ago from an oc homie, cpu from work, ram from work, ssds (guess where from), hdds (you guessed it)

[pure garnet]

i can do a 4k transcode fine, i haven’t tried multiple but all of my clients support direct play

including my parents u6h

[merry stirrup]

yeah i need like 6 4k transcodes unfortunately cause i share with the gang

[pure garnet]

why is your gang not direct playing

[merry stirrup]

lotta times they on the phone and i thought that dont support it innit

[pure garnet]

it should

[merry stirrup]

oh then maybe its not transcoding

[pure garnet]

the only thing i transcode is av1 because my apple tv doesn’t support it

[merry stirrup]

hmmm

i gotta look into this more ig

maybe i stole a gpu from you for nothing

i mean that is why i call it slow AI. Because it can load big models, but the CPU and GPU age means it is kinda slow 😄

what are you running on it

[topaz veldt]

go look at tile based Intel stuff

LM Studio, Qwen3 Coder Next (80B, around 45GB model) with Qwen 3 1.7B draft model

i mean it is super slow, the 9950x+4080 Super is way faster, but hey, i can give it a task and it will hum along by itself, doing it's job, then i can look at result. Of course cloud services are much better than both of these, but for learning it's fine.

3. i can fire up LM Studio on my 4080 Super + 9950x system too if i need more speed

Honestly my MBP M4 is not horrid

[green marsh]

too bad the RAM prices are stupid for it to be reasonable for AI (needs 64GB for reasonabel models)

I mean i did a complicated javascript code integrated into a liferay portlet - and just by giving it access to the JSP file, the JS file and the translation file it was able to describe what happens in it in pretty good details, and when asked to about certain methods, it was able to describe it in even bigger detail

[steel stream]

teams message sound effect immediately has me on high alert these days

[merry stirrup]

and the fuckass ringtone

"can i call you?"

ABSOLUTELY NO-sure!

[steel stream]

the worst is when I'm not working, and my roommates get a teams notification on their phone or laptop

still gets me

[green marsh]

my personal hate is their Android app. If you have call notification enabled on Android and you dodn't pick it up on the phone, sometimes it will literally decide to block any future call notifications because it is using the audio device. You have to force close the teams app to release the call notifications

[steel stream]

that's awesome

[green marsh]

(OT: I hope our national hockey team will disappoint all the Americans here soon)

USA is bringing home the gold

[vestal granite]

sometimes when i hear a door open with the little beeper things for entry i think to myself "a user joined your channel"

[steel stream]

there's a bruno mars song that I swear has a discord ping noise in it

[shell void]

just wait until the M5 Ultra Mac Studio launches soon

[merry stirrup]

theres a couple

[low sorrel]

no fuck you we're taking the gold

[merry stirrup]

[green marsh]

[steel stream]

Canada barely made it (twice)

[vestal granite]

oh, you mean in the mens version of hockey?

[steel stream]

it's the olympics, as long as USA wins I don't care who is playinh

[low sorrel]

low key i kinda want russia in the olympics again

[vestal granite]

well now whose fault is it that they aint in it

[low sorrel]

kinda feels weird when we win in a cold sport and the russians weren't their

[low sorrel]

maybe they shouldn't've doped

[vestal granite]

maybe part of the olympics is the country's willingness to participate in being nice to your fellow neighbors

[steel stream]

and not cheating

[low sorrel]

also cheating

[steel stream]

or doping

[vestal granite]

well it was mostly the ukraine thing wasnt it

[steel stream]

tell that to your curling team bud

[vestal granite]

cause the athletes can still compete with no affiliation

[low sorrel]

it was mostly the doping

[steel stream]

it was doping first, and then they did ukraine and stayed out

[low sorrel]

low key i have not watched the olympics yet

[steel stream]

I've had it on everyday

[low sorrel]

i will watch US v Canada because thats really the only one that matters

[steel stream]

I've watched so much curling during class

[hoary hatch]

Cool runnings is a great movie

[edgy laurel]

its crazy that its still $1700 for a trade in for this ancient card

[steel stream]

it's pretty good

I was talking with a friend last night who hasn't seen Jurassic Park, Forrest Gump, Gremlins, ET, Men In Black, Back to the future, and so many more

oh no Interstellar

[shell void]

if 6090 isn’t going to be obtainable for a tolerable price until 2028 then

[low sorrel]

looks at my 3060 you're doing just fine there bud

[edgy laurel]

makes me sick to my stomach to think about knowing Mac bought a brand new card for $2k

[steel stream]

https://tenor.com/view/йокелемене-men-in-black-light-sunglasses-gif-15516530

now you can buy the card

[edgy laurel]

aww shit, lets go!

[low sorrel]

1600 dollars over msrp being a deal right now is fucking wild to me

[edgy laurel]

it is. i'm not actually even considering it.

[shell void]

the going price for 5090 has been $3000-4000 for most of its lifespan

[steel stream]

should get a samsung soundbar instead!

[edgy laurel]

thats way too much money for a damn graphics card, i dont' care what it does

[shell void]

aside from the brief period of autumn 2025 where they dipped down

[fringe vigil]

[edgy laurel]

would actually more interesting

[low sorrel]

what if it does 16k

[fringe vigil]

[low sorrel]

@edgy laurel why didn't you buy one then huh

[shell void]

we told him to but he was yellow bellied

[steel stream]

900 at woot rn

still quite the pretty penny

[shell void]

that seems high for a woot deal on a Q990

[steel stream]

I mean it's over 50% off

it's new according to the listing

[low sorrel]

@steel stream You know I think that the US team might beat the slovakian team at hockey, I just have a suspicion

[shell void]

oh it’s new? i assumed used

900 new is solid

[low sorrel]

wtf is this bitrate

[steel stream]

yeah I got mine new for 700 with edu discount at samsung themselves

so not terrible

[steel stream]

2

[steel stream]

https://tenor.com/view/रंगबाज़-रंगबाज़फिरसे-money-handing-over-give-gif-15839584

[green marsh]

i mean totally not US & Canada talking about US & Canada being in finals. Even if not paid off, there must be a bias

[shell void]

Z890 boards are free ☠️

[low sorrel]

||1-0 US||

[pure garnet]

z890 is worth about as much as a double mcdouble value meal order

[steel stream]

honestly USA womens hockey was awesome this year. They scored 32 goals, and only let in 2 over the course of the olympics

[merry stirrup]

value pick fr

[low sorrel]

to be fair the other womens teams outside of the US and canada are kinda fighting for 3rd place

[green marsh]

reminds me of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slovakia_82–0_Bulgaria

[pure garnet]

[turbid locust]

[steel stream]

this is Mac telling us he got robbed at gunpoint and not wanting to admit it

[vestal granite]

no fast food and nothing ive eaten before unless its lebanese poutine

[turbid locust]

I’m not allowed to go somewhere that I could go to when I’m at home

[pure garnet]

[turbid locust]

[vestal granite]

problem is when your home has all of the things you could go to that rule stops working

[steel stream]
