[vestal granite]

[pallid marsh]

Unless it's for the amount of motherboards to own

[merry stirrup]

I'm shocked, this PC is actually a sane price for today:

[turbid locust]

Bezos drove a Camry forever bro it’s chillin

[vestal granite]

mac does it right, cheaper car more money in the pocket

[pallid marsh]

Show us your RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell

[turbid locust]

so my 5090 with a 10% oc got it

[merry stirrup]

need money for 5090

[steel stream]

where's my money then

[vestal granite]

after living in some very wealthy areas (renting) my world view has shifted to understand that all of the VCs in palm beach with hedgerow walls around their house they all drive shitty 20yr old tan volvos n stuff

[turbid locust]

It’s the strat

[pallid marsh]

$250 GPU with $160 CPU (during last prime day)

[pure garnet]

nah drive an sf90 to your mcdonald’s shift

[vestal granite]

the strat is to have a shitty car in your marital home and then the nice cars in your extramarital home

thats what people with the big bucks do the big bucks like like dollar menu millionaire big bucks you know like they could buy everything on the mcdonalds menu all at once

[steel stream]

I will live in credit card debt 🙏

[vestal granite]

[edgy laurel]

where you'd have to work if you spent all your money on that depreciating turd

[turbid locust]

the guy next to me rn is not a talker 🙁

damn my southern hospitality

[vestal granite]

ask him if he likes spinach artichoke dip everyone has an answer for that

[pallid marsh]

Talk about ram prices with him

[vestal granite]

wait no youre in a bar you might have to buy spinach artichoke dip if you ask that

[turbid locust]

you’re going to MY city, guy. Cmon.

[edgy laurel]

If i'm at a place like that by myself, don't talk to me

[vestal granite]

an airport bar?

[steel stream]

just keep talking

[turbid locust]

Guilty ive had probably 7 bourbons total throughout the day, i dont know a stranger

[vestal granite]

i will say people in NYC area have been way nicer to me than people in most of the south for most of my life

[steel stream]

Guilty is the stranger Mac is talking to rn

[edgy laurel]

yes

[pallid marsh]

Drop your credit card info

[turbid locust]

🙁

[steel stream]

Mac asks him what conspiracies he believes in

[vestal granite]

virginia, though, has the nicest people. driving through virginia everyone was so chill and nice and friendly and their mcdonalds breakfast was real eggs

[turbid locust]

I was just trying to ask if he was going for like work or something else and was just trying to chat em up yk

I know the good places brother listen to me

This world is full of haters

[vestal granite]

and the people here like yeah they get pissed off sometimes but everytime they do im just thinkin like yeah that guy has a point cause sometimes people park in the fucking crosswalk and im like yeah im pouring water outside this guy's door on a snowy day

too many people round here to be a shithead to all of them, not enough energy in the world u know

so u save your shithead energy for the people who deserve it instead of crashing out on people walking to their car in the walmart parking lot

[pallid marsh]

[vestal granite]

and thats on church yo

[steel stream]

I have to take out my aggression and anger on everyone I see you don;t understand

nothing but hate and rage in my heart

[frank zealot]

sadly not anymore.

[frank zealot]

it was also 90 bucks in RAM 6 months ago, but not anymore

[pallid marsh]

True

[vestal granite]

i had a question that i was gonna ask but i typed it out and realized im on the right track and thats all yall need to know

so if you were wondering why i was typing for 8 hours thats why

[steel stream]

i thought you were about to release an essay about people being mean

[vestal granite]

i was theorycrafting how i want to store a lot of product data on my newest personal project

its like the other things with gpu pricing data except people put in product urls they want to track the price of over time instead of me tracking 25,000 ebay listings from one laptop every day

its basically just an excuse for me to continue learning asp.net blazor stuffs cause its nifty stuff

[steel stream]

ah got it

[vestal granite]

and it lets me figure out the thing ive been wanting to do with my web scraping which is deploying like 8 trillion (exaggeration) containerized web scrapers at the same time which i did not want to figure out until i found asp.net aspire to do the hard work for me

cause like i can containerize it right and then have like internal api for web scraping but then its the part after that that i suck at you know what i mean

[frank zealot]

it's insane, but that computer was worth probably 300-400 bucks less in september than it is now.

[vestal granite]

did we get the most that you can get in hockey

[steel stream]

no

[low sorrel]

no

[vestal granite]

has no one ever gotten more than that in hockey ever?

[low sorrel]

but it's pretty much cooked

[steel stream]

the record is 82-0

[vestal granite]

so we're close

[pallid marsh]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/xG7RBv only $100 more for a ultra 5 though 🤔

[vestal granite]

how many half times is there in hockey and which one are we at

[steel stream]

[low sorrel]

[steel stream]

it's a 3 period game

[vestal granite]

[low sorrel]

[vestal granite]

so good luck on the offense fellas

https://youtu.be/SasSQenAAPs?t=276

[low sorrel]

sir slovenia and slovakia are different countries

[vestal granite]

fuck i thought it was slovenia losing

[low sorrel]

[vestal granite]

you dont even know what the people of slovakia are called sir

[south shuttle]

[low sorrel]

[vestal granite]

took 5 minutes googled it cheater

[wraith steeple]

EK's country and Slovakia

[low sorrel]

i was taking a piss during half time

[vestal granite]

USA vs Slovakia, a battle between the world's greatest superpowers, monoliths of industry, beacons of scientific achievement, pillars of the world economy, and slovakia

the place that sounds like souvlaki which is the best food

if it were anyone else against them i would pick souvlakia

[wraith steeple]

Slovenia will always be the EKWB country to me

By that meaning that's all I know that Slovenia is known for

[low sorrel]

slovakia is known to me for being that other part of czechoslovakia

[vestal granite]

they should make a country called slanina

put it next to souvlakia

[wraith steeple]

Australia to me is the Vegemite, Kangaroo, down unduh, and Singularity Computers country

[vestal granite]

wheres tahiti they should rename that to tahini

[cosmic gazelle]

DID SOMEBODY SAY TAHITI

https://tenor.com/view/dutch-rdr2-gif-15590042829300150688

[vestal granite]

or they could name it tajin-ey

[wraith steeple]

I have a plan Arthur

We must follow the plan

-Dutch

[cosmic gazelle]

i really hope they make a red dead spinoff game because they basically said the red dead redemption universe was a story in 2 parts and is finished

[vestal granite]

i hope they make a grand theft auto 5 sequel like grand theft auto 5 2 or something

[cosmic gazelle]

grand theft auto 5 2 before gta 6

[low sorrel]

@steel stream @topaz veldt The slovaks really need to convert some of these PPs ngl (I did write this just to write PP)

[vestal granite]

when you buy switches, you usually have a bunch leftover due to the quantities you order them in

and I'm upset because I can't find my extras

i need to replace a few

[vestal granite]

i do think its kind of cool that canada (hockey country) is trying to get a gold medal

unfortunately since they beat us at baseball we have to beat them at hockey

oh wait no did we win in baseball

its also interesting to me how they build teams for olympics stuff like its kinda just fantasy league stuff but done by a committee

[low sorrel]

First time we've had NHLers on the team since 2014

[low sorrel]

Just buy new switches

[edgy laurel]

damn, why didn't i think of that

[low sorrel]

No problem

[fleet marsh]

the 9850x3d a good cpu ? i have the 7700x atm. would be running it on a b650, that a ok board to use for it ?

[low sorrel]

Is the fastest cpu on the market a good cpu?

[edgy laurel]

ok so, lots to unpack here

9000x3D is the best you can possibly buy for video games

you've been around here long enough, i'm sure you know that

I feel like we've also been down this road before with you and CPU "upgrades" from your already modern and not exactly slow 7700x

[hoary hatch]

Apple M5 Max in 2 weeks

[fleet marsh]

i know its considered the top gaming cpu. just dont know if pairing with a b650 is a good idea or not. or if it requires something more high end

[edgy laurel]

Are you CPU limited in games you play?

[shell void]

we're getting M5 Ultra and new apple monitors bro itll be sweet

studio display 2.0 with 120Hz and miniled

[hoary hatch]

Are we actually getting ultra on the 4th

[hoary hatch]

I'm hearing a lot about 90hz

Like a lot a lot

[edgy laurel]

B650 is a chipset, not a motherboard. That being said, unless you have a bottom of the barrel B650 board, it'll be fine.

Just know that unless you can properly diagnose your current bottleneck in the games you specifically play, you're unlikely to notice a difference with this purchase.

[shell void]

idk the exact date but yes the M5 Ultra is happening

[hoary hatch]

But it COULD be 90hz for MacBooks not pro

Mark the gurman is always a little vague

[shell void]

i cant imagine apple corking a new $1500 pro monitor to 90Hz

maybe that 12" macbook with the A chip is 90Hz

but 90Hz seems like an odd choice to me on any product with even the base iphone being 120Hz now

[low sorrel]

Wait are MacBooks not 120hz?

[hoary hatch]

Marky G says there is conflicting recent information about 90hz and 120hz

[shell void]

the air is only 60Hz edge lit ips, but the pros are 120Hz

the air and pro models are both moving to 120Hz Tandem OLED next year supposedly

what kind of silverware do yall have i recently bought some 18/10 forged kingstone stuff and its pretty good silverware i will say its like u know good weight to the silverware

[edgy laurel]

I have absolutley no idea

[vestal granite]

you gotta get urself some nice silverware if u aint got nice silverware guilty its the little things guilty

first thing you touch at a fancy restaurant is the silverware and what do you notice? its nice silverware.

its like having good towels, never underestimate a good towel

once youve had a good towel you never look at towels the same way ever again

i had to go to TARGET to get some good towels, you know how hard it is for me to go into a target? you know how much pain that brings me to shop at target guilty?

but good towels are worth it

and dont you ever forget that

[edgy laurel]

yeah i've put zero thought into any of those things

[vestal granite]

you dont know how dry you can be until you have a good towel

and having bad silverware with good cookware is like having a bad monitor with good pc u know

my reaction exactly when i saw it

it's not appealing to me after you mentioned a $60 1070 unless youre planning to run linux on this pc

[edgy laurel]

GRID is ancient Kepler stuff

[topaz veldt]

Well grid was a product

[hoary hatch]

Well, I think the issue is we haven't finalized on our needs yet

[topaz veldt]

Nvidia grid is/was slicing GPUs into shareable objects between VMs namely for vdi

You can continue to use your AP

I do prefer to keep AP and routing as separate hardware

Oh will cloud gateway max not do that

[edgy laurel]

These are 13 year old GPU's , no you cant use this in any modern context for LLM's lmao

not in any sane fashion, anyway

[topaz veldt]

It will but DR7 has a wifi 7 ap also

If you only want routing then yeah the gateways do that

[hoary hatch]

If I truthfully don't care for AP built into the gateway, CGM will do the deed?

[topaz veldt]

I don't love how unifi does vlans but it works

[hoary hatch]

I think U6 LR is plenty of wifi for us

[pastel scaffold]

i think i read it wrong, i read the software allowed them to all combine virtually as slave cards to a master card

[hoary hatch]

I could just not use the AP in DR7

[topaz veldt]

2 story I'd do one ap on each floor

[hoary hatch]

Because my roommate and I will break up eventually

[pastel scaffold]

one big data center gpu, and than virtual vram expansion cards

[topaz veldt]

No Nvidia grid specifically used vSphere to allow multiple VMs to share a single GPU

[pastel scaffold]

ah other way around

rip my dream of cheap vram

[hoary hatch]

This is so unbelievably unnecessary lol

[topaz veldt]

Google bitfusion

[hoary hatch]

Mixing dual band wifi 6 with tri band wifi 7...all unifi so probably fine?

[cosmic gazelle]

homie you realize that a bunch of vram doesn’t magically mean your gpu has good compute for LLMs

[topaz veldt]

One wifi 6 ap for a 2 story house? Two is not overkill

[hoary hatch]

Okay....and I have an ancient UAC-Lite sitting around...so 3rd garage AP?

[edgy laurel]

According to Nvidia docs they were meant to run in groups. 4x K1's or 2x K2's.

Doesn't matter, they are 13y/o ancient tech. Al the VRAM you want but dinosaur age computing power. Terrible idea.

[hoary hatch]

We're already running thunderbolt from the 2nd floor to first floor

[cosmic gazelle]

guilty i just bought an rx 580 for $45 how mad at me are uou

[edgy laurel]

I am unbothered

[topaz veldt]

I don't think anyone will be upset at your decisions lol

[cosmic gazelle]

i feel that that’s worse

[pastel scaffold]

hence why i was hoping to have them be slave cards to a master card that did have real computing power, too bad

[edgy laurel]

What master card?

[hoary hatch]

5nail
Dream router 7 vs express 7

[keen wigeon]

What exactly are you trying to compute

[hoary hatch]

Oh no you've summoned Nvidia

[pastel scaffold]

local llm

[edgy laurel]

He's trying to run LLM's on the cheap and thought old Kepler cards were the ticket lol

[keen wigeon]

Oh, no. Those will run like ass.

Anything without tensor cores will run like ass. Better to do it on a CPU and a shitload of DDR4

[hoary hatch]

11th gen AVX512 comeback?

[cosmic gazelle]

and this WILL run like shit compared to what he’s envisioning lol

[keen wigeon]

Nothing wrong with that!

[keen wigeon]

What

[edgy laurel]

man, those GRID K1's has DDR3 VRAM

[cosmic gazelle]

every time i’ve used cpu to run a decent model its returned like 7 tokens a second

[pastel scaffold]

i will stick to using my 4090 in my gaming pc than, lol, was just hoping to make a bigger at home local llm server for my home assistant

[keen wigeon]

An assistant doesn’t need much grunt

What is your target throughput?

you can integrate into projects

Target 15 TPS decode and you’ll be fine. That’s attainable with a lot 20,30 series cards.

[pastel scaffold]

i have a spare 2060 and 1070

[keen wigeon]

Don’t run a damn huge model. Use something like llama 13B instruct

[pastel scaffold]

2060 with 6gb or 1070 with 8gb better?

[keen wigeon]

Big model != big capability

[hoary hatch]

@topaz veldt well I think a dream router 7 will be showing up in the next week or whatever

[keen wigeon]

They’re all equally dumb if they haven’t been trained to do what you want them to do

2060

Find a small instruct model, use agents. Don’t reach for 9000 tokens a second.

15 is “fine” especially for heat seeking missile agents.

[topaz veldt]

I am happy w/ it at my other place

Welcome! Create a post in #1027757333117415424 with your full system specs (make and model of all parts), a description of the issue and any error messages observed, and any troubleshooting steps you've tried and their outcomes, then patiently await a response from a volunteer.

And in this case, ensure you include what store / launcher the game was purchased from.

[topaz veldt]

Of course

[brisk jolt]

also lightning fast at getting a terrible RMA

[edgy laurel]

for those keeping score at home, thats a Ferrari 296.. so that tracks

[topaz veldt]

lol yep

I seriously do not see any value in that card

[edgy laurel]

lol yeah i'm like ugh, another one of these guys.. but wait thats a nice seat...OH

[topaz veldt]

yeah I saw the cluster

lol

[edgy laurel]

what are you doing with it?

[topaz veldt]

That was when I bought it and couldn't fit it in my car

[edgy laurel]

that box is coffin sized

[topaz veldt]

it was huge

I don't think I could fit it in the trunk either

because of the seats not going 100% flat

I had my wife measuring my M3 to see if the rear seats were wider rofl

[edgy laurel]

yeah I would tried to fold the passenger seat back or something

[topaz veldt]

I think it did fit

i mean i got it home

Hello, is this a good laptop to get for under a 1000 euros? It doenst need to be mac. Here is what it is gonna be used for.

Video editing
School work
Programming

Im open to any other opinion for other laptops. The requirements are:

Good battery life, must last over 6 hours. If buying used I am able to replace the battery, include that in the price if you find one like that.
Under 1000 euros in europe.
Have a minimus 16 gigs of ram and 512 storage.
It can be used/refurbished. Only repuitable sellers tough.
US keyboard.

At home i have a gaming pc already, so it does not not to be that good at gaming.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

[deep swan]

Yesterday I started at my PC and used it as normal and it was working fine, however, today I turned to find that it would not display anything on the monitor. I tried both taking out and putting back in both sticks, taking one out and leaving one in and taking another one out and putting the other one I also tried disconnecting and reconnecting the graphics card power however none of this worked.

(Additional notes, motherboard is displaying an orange light, Power button is flashing.)

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Specs:

RTX 3070 - Graphics Card

AMD 3700x - CPU

2x DDR 4 16 GB - RAM

650 W - Power supply

[paper turtle]

DID u reste you cmos battery?

did you try out a diffrent set of cables/

? To the monitor

[fervent scaffold]

Why

[paper turtle]

Resear gpu?

[paper turtle]

How old is psu and what brand?

[vestal granite]

the orange light should have a thing next to it saying why its on "DRAM/CPU/VGA/etc"

[paper turtle]

Do fans spin?

[deep swan]

I didnt reset the Battery by taking it out but i shorted it by putting the screwdriver into the 2 jumper fuses

[deep swan]

No i dont know how to do that

[deep swan]

Yes all the fans spin

[deep swan]

Its 2-3 years old its MONTECH branded

[paper turtle]

remove it for like 10m then try again

[deep swan]

What the power suply or the CMOS

[paper turtle]

Cmos

[deep swan]

I dont know how to do that

[paper turtle]

so

what your spessific motherboard?

so that i can send you a pciture of where the cmos battery is

[deep swan]

Its a B550 Pro AX

[paper turtle]

assus? Msi?

ITX?

or atx?

is it big or small?

[deep swan]

It says Aurourus AMD

Small

[paper turtle]

https://www.overclockers.co.uk/blog/how-to-change-the-cmos-battery-on-your-motherboard/

[deep swan]

I cant find the CMOS

[devout ridge]

lol it’s under the gpu

it’s just below the primary x16 slot

[deep swan]

Acctually?

Do i need to remove the GPU

[devout ridge]

yep

[deep swan]

Ok ill try

[devout ridge]

you can thank aorus for that horrible choice on cmos placement

[meager ice]

(longer message) have yall like ever got these weird kernel power errors? for example in Windows event logs it’s called ”Kernel-Power 41 (63)” basically if meant you PSU freaked out

well i got that on my Windows machine like yesterday and also the day before yesterday
first time it just freezed and i saw the ”Your Device ran into a problem” text, but nothing happened.. just freeze

And then yesterday i was gaming and suddenly i see same text, then the device restarted, when i put my creds to the login screen and pressed Enter, it landed on the same ”Your Device ran into a problem” and restarted to login screen.. again

So then i was obv freaked out and just turned the PC off, and while i was taking the power cable off from the PC i instantly felt ”Damn this feels very loose” and then today, i actually putted the power cable to the PSU really strongly, and everything works

so all that chaos was likely caused by loose power cable all along ☠️

[devout ridge]

#1027757333117415424

[meager ice]

i dont need support i just asked has anyone ever experienced it

[devout ridge]

yes someone has at some point experienced it

[paper turtle]

ye i couldnt find it off images im sorry

[deep swan]

Where exactly is it?

I took the GPU out but theres nothing around the Slot

[meager ice]

sure someome has experienced KP41 (63) but like.. just thought how it may have happened to other people 💯

[deep swan]

I cant find this Damn CMOS

[arctic bronze]

Its a battery on the motherboard

Nothing else looks like it

[edgy laurel]

Either you're blind or you don't have the B550 Aorus Pro AX.

Find your receipt or the box for the board and figure that out first so you have correct information.

[edgy laurel]

Because the board you mentioned you have, the CMOS battery is VERY obviously right there.

[deep swan]

My motherboard only has 2 RAM slots

thats not it

[edgy laurel]

Step one, know what board you have.

[deep swan]

It says on the freaking box

[arctic bronze]

Just look between the ram and cpu slot it will say what it is

[edgy laurel]

Read it printed onthe board.

[arctic bronze]

Also wg guilty

[edgy laurel]

or simply take a well lit, flash off picture of it with the GPU removed

[arctic bronze]

Yeah

Possibly cpu cooler too if its bulky

[deep swan]

It says its A B550I AORUS PRO AX

[edgy laurel]

ah, left out the "i"

[arctic bronze]

I

Itx board?

[deep swan]

I have this one

[edgy laurel]

The battery is here, but you have Clear CMOS pins

[deep swan]

Ive cleared the CMOS pins

[arctic bronze]

Itx yeah

[deep swan]

Multiple times

[edgy laurel]

so then what are you doing

[deep swan]

Yesterday I started at my PC and used it as normal and it was working fine, however, today I turned to find that it would not display anything on the monitor. I tried both taking out and putting back in both sticks, taking one out and leaving one in and taking another one out and putting the other one I also tried disconnecting and reconnecting the graphics card power however none of this worked.

(Additional notes, motherboard is displaying an orange light, Power button is flashing.)

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Specs:

RTX 3070 - Graphics Card

AMD 3700x - CPU

2x DDR 4 16 GB - RAM

650 W - Power supply

I turn on my PC, It starts and then Im met with a black monitor screen, Ive tried 2 different monitors, it the PC

[edgy laurel]

there is your actual battery, its the wired type stuck to the side of the ethernet port and wired to the board.

[deep swan]

Where exactly is that on the PC

[edgy laurel]

but shorting the the CMOS pins is equivalent to removing the battery if you hold it shorted for 10-15seconds

[deep swan]

I have done that 5 times

and nothing happens

Ive tried everything

[edgy laurel]

then thats probably not going to solve your issue

[deep swan]

but the monitor just says "No signal"

I have no idea what to do

So, any suggestions?

PLEASE

i think itll depend on how much of a performance lead intel has, and whether or not they openly say theyre committing to longer platform support on stage

my normie gamer friends that only recently upgrdaded off of their 4790k/6700k/8700k etc had no interest in ryzen when they approached me for help with a new pc :p

[edgy laurel]

cheaper for them to just swap out their 7600 with a whatever 12-core x3D and boom, there really isn't any gaming improvement to be had in any real sense.

[shell void]

platform support isnt that important for them because by the time they upgrade it's over anyway

i put most of them on the U7 265K while it was $235

[hoary hatch]

How dare you say such a thing with today's HUB video

[patent gorge]

what did they have an interest in then?

[shell void]

theyre just like "woah holy shit 20 cores? that sounds cool"

[shell void]

a new computer XD

i did put one of them on a 9700X instead and that's been fine

[patent gorge]

well of course they won't have any specific interest in any specific platform is they know nothing and have researched nothing

[shell void]

they were weary of going amd though

[edgy laurel]

All this is cool and all but for those that look past benchmarks its just going to come down to experience. Far and large across the internet Billy Joe with his B650 board looking for a upgrade is going to be suggested to spend less money and buy 10000 series x3D.

Simple as that.

[hoary hatch]

10000 series
Do we really think that's the name for zen6

[edgy laurel]

no

but I cba to figured out what else to call it

[hoary hatch]

Ryzen AI 500?

[vestal granite]

my older brother on the west coast has like a 5700x/3070Ti build but he has a windows 10 install (transferred from like 4 different platforms) on an HDD with NVMEs installed in the system

it's gonna be Ryzen Core Max calling it now

[vestal granite]

and i dont think he fully realizes what i mean by "your shit is fucked" when i tell him his shit is fucked

Maybe zen6 is delayed since they can't figure out what to name it

actually i think previously that windows 10 install mightve been upgraded from windows 7 too

he had a 4770k system at some point and its the same HDD windows install

and back then he had some PC issues and I figured out that it was that his windows install was fucked up (linux live cd worked fine) and he trusted some other guy who said his motherboard was fried over me and thats the source of my insecurities truly

so the same fucked up windows install is the one he has frankensteined into 3 different machines since then

[strange ginkgo]

when win7 was new ssd's were super expensive stuff and had tiny amount of storage capacity

[vestal granite]

yes

[shell void]

yeh i didnt get a ssd until 2018, and i can remember windows 7 being painfully slow on my hard drive

[vestal granite]

i had ssds around like 2015 but they were always crappy ones

so functionally same as an hdd

[brisk jolt]

RDNA 3.5

[edgy laurel]

you poor souls. booting windows on an Intel X25M in 2010ish was life changing

[vestal granite]

i feel bad for people who dont know their windows can boot in like 5-10 seconds now

[strange ginkgo]

i was running win7 on a raid0 with 4 hdd's for a while

[shell void]

the first version of my am4 pc in 2017 was r5 1600, b350 tomahawk, 2x8gb ddr4 2666, 1050ti, and a 3tb barracuda hdd

then i got a 250gb 970 evo and gtx 1070 which was big

[vestal granite]

if i have to restart my PC in the middle of a counter strike match, im back in the game within 2 minutes

other people be takin just 5 hours to reboot

[nova patrol]

am5

[vestal granite]

skill issues all around

[nova patrol]

4x16gb on am5 type shi

[brisk jolt]

my first pc was a 5600 4060 lmao

it sucked shit

[shell void]

oh geez you started with a modern fast pc

[brisk jolt]

i was living off a 2015 imac for forever

[strange ginkgo]

i was still on 8.1 untill i build a new pc at the end of 2023

[shell void]

taking like 3 minutes to get back into a csgo match because csgo crashed when i tabbed out and i have a hard drive

exclusive fullscreen csgo on the 1070 was so buggy

that's what made me go to a 6900XT next, my 1070 experience was awful

[vestal granite]

this was my first PC that wasnt a shared family machine

full size keyboard because everyone used numpads

[shell void]

massive keyboard but microscopic trackpad

[vestal granite]

the death of the numpad will be studied like ancient mesopotamian riddles and rhymes

[vestal granite]

and trust me those mouse clickers definitely broke and that keyboard is definitely mushy

[brisk jolt]

tbh i only got into tech in like… 2024 lmao

[edgy laurel]

mine. A very gracious gift for college

[brisk jolt]

i had like no interest in my life till that point after I ran from home

[shell void]

the power button being inside the speaker grill is certainly a choice that im surprised apple made

[edgy laurel]

huh, didn't think of that

[vestal granite]

for me it was that laptop that got me into tech sort of, before that i was just on the directX box, wii, and xbox 360

[edgy laurel]

also, note the tiny trackpad

and one button..

[vestal granite]

OH i know why the trackpads are tiny...

[brisk jolt]

Interesting enough the 8bitdo is compatible with iphone

[vestal granite]

did that macbook have a disc drive

[shell void]

from the days when it was normal for casual users to be proficient with keyboard shortcuts

[edgy laurel]

*powerbook, and yes

[vestal granite]

thats why the trackpad was tiny i bet

[shell void]

ive tried to use shortcuts more often in recent years because it is a lot more convenient than using the mouse

[vestal granite]

i remember taking this one apart, this whole area was the disc drive

[vestal granite]

i use left hand keyboard shortcuts with mouse, so like to close tabs ive been shift clicking an area of tabs and ctrl w

where previously i would do "Close tabs to the right" or something like that

i remember telling a neighbor friend of mine to upgrade to windows 8 because they had the little notification in the bottom right saying to upgrade to windows 8 for free and i think im still working on getting rid of that negative karma

[vestal granite]

that numpad was great for garrys mod hotkeys though

[brisk jolt]

being stuck on that 2015 imac using a HDD was one helluva slow experience

[topaz veldt]

we are so old

[vestal granite]

yeah yall are old as shit

[wraith steeple]

PowerBook G4?

[vestal granite]

oldest like computer computer I used was maybe a 2008 mac mini

aside from revisiting older things later on

i mean used at the time because i had to use it

[hoary hatch]

Hmmm

My ROG laptop has fast boot enabled

Could this be why it's dead every time I remove it from its drawer after a month of no use

[vestal granite]

i can give a whole generation of people ptsd flashbacks by saying "whats the shape of italy"

[vestal granite]

yes

[ancient oracle]

Hey should I buy a rog ally or a framework 13 for school

[hoary hatch]

laptop for school

[vestal granite]

for school i think the framework 13 is a better option cause wtf can u do on an rog ally in schoolwork

[ancient oracle]

Use it as a laptop with a keybord mouse and my portable display

[brisk jolt]

and get horrible usability

[vestal granite]

go for the laptop instead

[ancient oracle]

Or should I get a yoga slim laptop

[nova patrol]

framework io pmo

[nova patrol]

thats not portable at all

[edgy laurel]

Yeah it says so

[vestal granite]

that rog ally stuff is gonna add complications to getting your schoolwork done which makes it harder to do schoolwork

[steel stream]

well maybe the photo is AI generated! Can't trust anything these days

[ancient oracle]

Ok so framework 13 or the Lenovo yoga laptop

[nova patrol]

wich picture looks better

[vestal granite]

well yeah they didnt even have cameras in 1966 so how would he have taken a photo of that

[ancient oracle]

1

[steel stream]

uhhh

[nova patrol]

the mario why?

[vestal granite]

if this is a product listing then 2, the print on the keys is more clearly visible

[pure relic]

Bruh anyone got any tips or tricks on how to remove these damn connections? Nothing I do makes them come out anymore that they have

[nova patrol]

1 is the real picture 2 is ai generated background🥀🥀

[vestal granite]

oh is it different listings or the same laptop with different photos

[ancient oracle]

I didnt even notice Mario 😭 i jut thought it was a clearer photo with a better background

[vestal granite]

oh i wasnt looking at the background

[ancient oracle]

Do they need to survive

[pure relic]

At least the white one yes

[vestal granite]

background in 2 is better though because of the contrast and the edges of the laptop lid arent lost to bad lighting

[nova patrol]

thats the only difference besides the lighting on the kb i guess

[pure relic]

The black is for the singular fan from 3080ti MSI ventus

[ancient oracle]

Do you have needle nose plires

[nova patrol]

this was my first failed attempt

[pure relic]

These

[ancient oracle]

Wait what is going on here

[nova patrol]

i said wood background and it made the laptop wooden

[ancient oracle]

Have you tried wiggling it side to side insted of front and back?

[ancient oracle]

Lol

[fringe vigil]

shush bish

[pure relic]

Side to side mostly, front and back also enough that it feels like I'd rip it off the board

[vestal granite]

for stuck ones i use one of these

[ancient oracle]

Yea fair my best recommendation is try to get something between them and pri gentley

[vestal granite]

which i had to google the name of because i found it at a goodwill

an "IC extractor"

[pure relic]

Never seen these before

[ancient oracle]

Who gives that to a goodwill😭

[vestal granite]

well it was in a toolbox satchel thing

[ancient oracle]

Ahh

Welp. Blizzard warning here

Legitimately about to get buried lmao

[topaz veldt]

rofl my sister

[arctic bronze]

What is a shabbat

[topaz veldt]

jewish holiday

[arctic bronze]

Ah

[topaz veldt]

B&H doesn't do business on shabbat hours

[arctic bronze]

Yeah

[gentle urchin]

wtf

is B&H a store in Israel or what

[wraith steeple]

No it's NYC based

[gentle urchin]

Sunday is the day of the rest in the west, get with the program.
Christian holiday

[pure garnet]

b&h will be closed any time you try to order something

it's just how it works

[wraith steeple]

I mean..... In my area we have businesses that are closed following the holy month of Ramadan

[topaz veldt]

yeah

they are hasidic jewish

[gentle urchin]

Shoutout to Catholics going through Lent and the accompanying dedication and patience involved right now

Nvidia should launch a VR/AR headset just like apple did
So reality can finally look better with DLSS 4.5

[gentle urchin]

Who needs a screwdriver/any other tools when you got a Swedish Skiftnyckel

[random flame]

Uuuhh thanks I guess?

[topaz veldt]

@shell void you ever heard any fan clicking out of your 5090 master?

[pure relic]

Could anyone help me with this black connector i just can't pull it out no matter what even pulled out the blue cable what do I do

I think I even cracked the connection point a bit

Here is what it looks like inside (old fans connection)

[fervent scaffold]

Needle nose pliers and being gentle

Or a big hammer

[pure relic]

These one? I already tried I'd if I did it wrong but I cracked the connector because of these

[fervent scaffold]

Those are not pliers lol

[pure relic]

Dude I don't f get it I am pulling wiggling side to side front to back with enough force that the connection point is comming out of its socket

[topaz veldt]

they are just hard - I use a pick tool and pry stuff like that up and out

They are, obviously, easy to break

[fervent scaffold]

Tbh, as long as the pins are there youll be fine

Just be sure not to plug it in backwards lol

[shell void]

nop

[pure relic]

XD yeah I pulled it out just broke half the connector and it's out now

[shell void]

i haven’t ever had a problem with gpu fans, only case/rad fans

[topaz veldt]

This dude I am talking about said he returned TWO Gigabyte 5090s because of this exact noise https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vojHEPdFd2s

I told him I have 4 5090 Masters and have never heard this noise ever - it was his reason why Suprim is better. I could not tolerate that noise what so ever and one of them is in HTPC. He acted like I was the minority lol I have never heard that shit.

Then he got all burthurt and said "oh i guess all the hardware you touch turns to gold" lol

[pure relic]

Any idea if these pads are still good?

[steel stream]

https://youtu.be/OC7sNfNuTNU

@edgy laurel @merry stirrup

i think you two might appreciate this

[wraith steeple]

looks at TC1

Why do I bother?

[steel stream]

I only go to Tc1 to troll

[edgy laurel]

Oh yeah I saw that pop up. I'm not at home now but certainly checking that later.

[wraith steeple]

https://tenor.com/view/dono-wall-gif-24048347

This is what it feels like half the time

[steel stream]

I also will be watching later, but man am I excited for that

seems like a great way to vaporize metal

[green marsh]

LOL Google

after using gmail for 20 years, i got to 50%. I think i will be fine for a while 😄

[wraith steeple]

Testing UV stuff

[indigo walrus]

I'm only at 29% full after about the same amount of time, and I use Google Photos, to boot. It's good they notify you though - many people I know have zero concept of cloud storage space... Until they freak out because they've run out of space, at which point they have no idea what to do and just pay up. (Some genuinely need to the space, but many simply don't make time to manage their files / emails / photos.)

[green marsh]

i do have google photos too, but obviously i use it in 'free mode'. If i want the full quality photos, those are at my immich instance

[steel stream]

looking sweet

[shell void]

i thought youtube was borked, but they actually just implemented another new annoyance for adblock users

when you open a new video you have to refresh the page to get it to work

[green marsh]

i should probably check which files on Photos are using space, that would remove 2.7GB of storage, and i shoudl check google drive too (tho that is probably just the daily SMS/call backups)

[shell void]

i already pay for premium so whatevs ill just add an exception for youtube.com

[indigo walrus]

Weird. I have Premium and am using uBlock, but haven't experienced this yet... Would be silly though. The only reason I can see company's doing this is because they don't want people blocking certain analytics functions.

[shell void]

at first i thought it was just my pc, but there are threads about it https://www.reddit.com/r/youtube/comments/1r9ojvx/is_anyone_else_having_a_problem_with_videos_not/

sure enough as soon as i excluded youtube from ublock it works normally

[indigo walrus]

Doesn't seem to be limited to Ad Blockers though. I'd wager a guess they're either doing A/B testing in production, or something related to their bloated AF video player JavaScript code didn't propagate quite right with their CDN.

[hollow atlas]

Can someone help me? My pc crashed would not boot anymore so I reinstalled windows but it still won't boot.

[pallid marsh]

New Blackwell problem?

[shell void]

negatory mr coopa

[turbid locust]

Rookies. I was out of free storage in like 2 years lol

[arctic bronze]

I go to tc1 to goblin

[indigo walrus]

To be fair, Gmail isn't my primary, and I don't use Google Drive for files, so...

[turbid locust]

mines all photos/videos lol

[topaz veldt]

I need to free space up on my Pixel but im scurred that its not backed up to cloud

[wraith steeple]

Testing between 395nm and 365nm ATM

These are basically from Amazon that are in the build. Darkside has long since been gone (or on eBay at scalped prices)

[elder relic]

My disappointment of finding out that my B550 Tomahawk does not support ecc ram is immeasurable.

What mb should I choose on a budget that:

• supports a 5900x at full power
• supports ecc
• has good pcie (4.0x16, two 3.0 nvme)
• proper iommu groups

[green marsh]

connect to USB, copy over files, back up manually to google photos if those files are photos ?

[edgy laurel]

AFAIK you need a Pro SKU chip for buffered ECC. Tons of info on google though

[steel stream]

I'm assuming this is wavelength?

[brave panther]

no consumer platform supports rdimms

[edgy laurel]

i'm suggesting that. Just pointing the user to their boards support page and saying what it supports

[brave panther]

by ecc do you mean which
unbuffered ecc
registered ecc
load reduced ecc

[brave panther]

ryzen pro chips dont support rdimms either

[edgy laurel]

ok we'll agree to a misunderstanding as I didn't say that either

Idrk either way lol

[elder relic]

In this case unbuffered ecc

[brave panther]

is ram you have branded like "hpe, lenovo or dell"

[fervent chasm]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OC7sNfNuTNU LETS GO

im 47 minutes in now

[wraith steeple]

Yessir

[fervent chasm]

nice to see how far hes gotten

[steel stream]

pretty dope man, that's sick

[wraith steeple]

The ones in there are 395nm

[elder relic]

I have Micron MTA18ASF4G72AZ-3G2R currently running on an R5 3600x & Asrock B450 Pro4 R2.0 ||(I don't like too strict automod settings)||

[pallid marsh]

I know ASRock has a few boards with tested ECC ram kits

[brave panther]

yep, asrock is one of the better one for ecc compatability

[elder relic]

Oh yep. Their boards seem to have pretty decent support through the board (no pun intended)

[pallid marsh]

Like the pro4 M

[elder relic]

The only issue with b550 now just are the iommu groups. So ig imma have to look at other chipsets

Oki. Imma have to do some local market scrapyarding. Thanks to you people :)

[inland dome]

So 4 months later I'm getting stable temps (under 85C) and scoring 890s-900s consistently with CPB and PBO TJMax 95C -20 CO All Core, think the only actual change I made aside from that manual setting was ramping the A620e up to 80% at 75C (not sure what standard preset is) and bringing them up to 100% past 85C

[edgy laurel]

you did not just reply to a post from June

[inland dome]

I did, and I'll do it again in 4 months

[edgy laurel]

(that was 8 months ago)

[inland dome]

I was trying to find the only recording of stats I knew of anyways

[inland dome]

No way
