[pure garnet]

i've only ever used h24m on am5 actually in my daily system

when my 13700k died i bought new ram to rule that out

so i just carried that over

[cosmic gazelle]

yeah yeah i know ai

but this is telling me that i’m done and can’t be bothered to keep chipping away further

[pure garnet]

the difference between those are probably like

maybe 5ns idk

544 and 480 are 20ns apart

so i guess more than that

[cosmic gazelle]

i’m about to hit 15 minutes and go to bed so if I wake up and it hasn’t errored im gonna run yc and call it good lol

[pure garnet]

the only thing with trefi is

you may wanna do yc+furmark tomorrow

because gpu heat can/will upset it

[cosmic gazelle]

i’m on open air and this specific gpu cooler projects air out

[pure garnet]

oh word

thought you had a case i’m kinda tired

[cosmic gazelle]

and also for some reason on polaris furmark gets heavily power throttled

potentially a driver thing

[brisk jolt]

I remember in the H6 flow with the 5090+optional fan I blasted that full 600w and it just shat my system

[topaz veldt]

not even

[pure garnet]

he’s at ddr3-2000 so i swung high

[hexed karma]

wonder how ddr3 holds up in 2026

[topaz veldt]

DDR3 is better than DDR0

[brisk jolt]

DDR3 is better than having no ram at all

[low sorrel]

@topaz veldt do you know any good brands for headphone cables? my headphone cable just broke

[merry stirrup]

Is it normal for monitors to have different shades of white? Im using an aoc 22b2hn 1080p 75hz on hdmi (left) and an aoc q27b36 1440p 100hz on dp (right). Every monitor setting is the same but i made the q27b36 10bit and both monitors on full output scale on the nvidia app. Tho without it its still like that.

[low sorrel]

Yes

[brisk eagle]

yes

you can try manual color correction but they’ll never be perfectly the same

the fact that the settings are the same for both is why they look different

[lunar comet]

Does it being hdmi and dp also affect it? Other than being a monitor to monitor difference

[brisk eagle]

potentially but i don’t know definitively

[tranquil finch]

Does someone know why i have Microstutters in every game? It started happening yesterday when i updated both chipset and Gpu drivers. I rolled back to the old ones but still… i have r5 7600 and 7800xt

[lunar comet]

I see, ill try manually correcting it sometime

[brisk eagle]

if you’re on windows there should be an app (control panel based) that does it

you make a custom color display profile with it and load it onto your monitor via settings

[lunar comet]

Is there a yt tutorial for it?

[brisk eagle]

maybe
search it up

it’s extremely simple

[lunar comet]

Whats it called the control panel based correction thing u mentioned

[brisk eagle]

something monitor color profile

[lunar comet]

Ayt

[civic reef]

Upgrades have been delayed

@frank zealot You unfortunately can't get any of the repurposed defence packages that we discussed due to homeland security reasons
(I might get bombed)

[lunar comet]

After tweaking i managed to somehow make it the same. The one on the right, the aoc q27b36 is a tad bit yellowish (like 1% but barely noticeable) from the other one.

[brisk jolt]

different monitors have different contrasts colours etc even when on same settings

you can always try to match them but it always take manual tweaking

@pure garnet life is pain

[manic lantern]

If I buy a 4k 32” 240hz OLED monitor and decide I would like to switch to 1440p for certain games like first person shooters to better squeeze out frames is that possible? For example I’m going to get a 5080 with a ryzen 7 9800x3d and am just worried that on some shooter games I may not be able to get the 150+ frames I’d like on 4k. Should I stick to a 1440p monitor and just get the much better frames or go with the 4k?

[edgy laurel]

Yes, it is possible. No one will will ever suggest doing so, however.

[heavy ore]

6h not even that bad i had stuff fail after 30h+

[edgy laurel]

In 2026, we have other methods

[pure garnet]

4k dual mode monitor would be what you’re looking for

like i have 4k160 and 1080p320 modes

[brisk jolt]

get 4k and just input 1440p in the settings xd

[pure garnet]

1440p doesn’t divide cleanly into 4k

you’d need a 5k monitor

[manic lantern]

Yeah I’ve read that 1440p on a 4k monitor doesn’t look as good as native 1440p monitor

[edgy laurel]

D L S S

5080 @ 4k.. we have 5070Ti users at 4K

[shell void]

DLSS Quality on a 2160p monitor will render the game at 1440p, it performs similarly to running at 1440p DLAA on a 1440p monitor, and it looks better

[manic lantern]

Okay awesome thank you. I’m new to this stuff so I just want to make sure I’m not waiting my money.

[shell void]

if you’re playing a competitive FPS game that doesn’t have DLSS such as CS2, Valorant, Overwatch, ETC then you still don’t need to worry

a 5080 can comfortably run those at native 4K 240fps

well i think OW2 has DLSS now but whatever

don’t even need it

[shell void]

me playing at 4K144 on my GTX 1070 with an Aorus FV43U in 2022

[manic lantern]

That’s awesome! Thank you

5760x1080 in 2011 😆

[fringe vigil]

[pure garnet]

did the gigabyte tv come with a remote

[cosmic gazelle]

i just found something out- dunno if this is common knowledge, but apparently ddr5 has on die error correction on udimms

interesting stuff

[pure garnet]

yeah but it doesn’t report corrections so it’s only really a benefit for yields

[cosmic gazelle]

still interesting to see error correction of any kind for the first time on non registered units

[shell void]

yah

i wish every high end monitor came with a remote because reaching across my 36" deep desk to grope the nipple on the back of my monitor to change settings is annoying

[turbid locust]

I need 8K 240hz LG C10

[edgy laurel]

doubt

[civic reef]

This is the SECOND time I have to delay upgrades because of a war

[turbid locust]

Some folks definition of obsolete is different

Many people view it as “this thing can no longer do a job” which frankly, hard to disagree with

but like the pure definition, yeah that’s a lot of shit

I think by definition 30 series Nvidia is obsolete lol

[pure garnet]

we bring the boom

[shell void]

KABOOOM

[pure garnet]

apparently the 6700xt can do 4k160hz over the hdmi port

which is neat i guess

[turbid locust]

Is there like a comprehensive handheld tier list type thing

[pure garnet]

psp on top

[turbid locust]

I mean like modern handhelds

Like I want another steam deck but

[pure garnet]

sbc or like, steam deck+

[turbid locust]

I wouldn’t mind more performance but I also value battery life

The Legion Go S seems solid

[pure garnet]

is that the one with steamos

[turbid locust]

I’m not sure I wanna drop $700 on a handheld tho lol. I don’t travel that much

[turbid locust]

Yeah

[pure garnet]

that's probably what i'd do then

this gpu is not having a good time

[turbid locust]

I might attempt to play some CS today

[pure garnet]

in game it's okay?

[brisk jolt]

Im honestly thinking of forgoing my handheld plans and just get a redmagic tablet, slap a controller, enjoy the big screen and stream from the PC for steamgames

[turbid locust]

probably solely because your main screen was on Ancient

Ancient is some laggy shit

[pure garnet]

time to try deadlock and then valorant

then im done torturing the 6700 xt at 4k

[pure garnet]

quite the combo i got here

[shell void]

just barely good enough to play wizard101 i guess

[pure garnet]

i like the chipset reporting as 2 chipsets

probably a remanent of when this was the b850e mpower

4k max no fsr is making it cry

[turbid locust]

Shit will eat Valorant no issue I’m sure

[cosmic gazelle]

yeah pal try hitting cl10 and talk to me

[turbid locust]

Val doesn’t even have upscaling lmao

[turbid locust]

Try going over 2000MTs

[pure garnet]

who is hitting the faker pose

[turbid locust]

Mada my goat

[cosmic gazelle]

mac did you see the tragedy i endured this morning

[turbid locust]

No

[pure garnet]

consider that i have 4x your frequency and not 4x your cas latency

[turbid locust]

Fire

[cosmic gazelle]

7 hours 💔

[turbid locust]

I don’t wanna hear it

[pure garnet]

i could probably do cl 32 if i went 1.7v+ but im not dailying that

[cosmic gazelle]

do you do tertiaries or just leave em

cuz i kinda don’t gaf about them atm

[turbid locust]

I set them, usually not minimized

[pure garnet]

the only things auto on my board are terminations

[cosmic gazelle]

consider that my ram was $17 and yours currently would be what, like 250 for same capacity 😎

[pure garnet]

consider https://jobs.mchire.com

[cosmic gazelle]

bro considers working 16 hours after taxes for a kit of memory reasonable

[brisk jolt]

16 hours is nothing

[turbid locust]

my 5090 cost me 2 weeks pay before taxes

[cosmic gazelle]

bro makes $4000 a week

[turbid locust]

what for? 9800X3D only has 2000MT/s of write bandwidth anyway

[cosmic gazelle]

stupid question but can i unplug my monitor in the middle of a ram test and just leave it

[brisk jolt]

ah yes basic math you havent used this since the heian era

[turbid locust]

Yeah

[cosmic gazelle]

was a joke about 5090s being $8000 silly guy

[brisk jolt]

yes you basically just need a speaker

for the beep

[turbid locust]

I have Karhu beep PTSD

[cosmic gazelle]

eh i just plan on coming back around 8pm and seeing if it errored or not

i don’t really care if it sits there idling i’ll be at my gfs house

[pure garnet]

i was expecting more ngl

[cosmic gazelle]

that is surprisingly low

[turbid locust]

Valorant just works bro

[shell void]

are u using msaa?

[turbid locust]

It’s a 6700XT at 4K…

[cosmic gazelle]

have you considered installing more chinese spyware than they already do by default

[pure garnet]

2x but fxaa is the same

fxaa

[turbid locust]

Valorant can be maxed out by like a 3060 lol

[cosmic gazelle]

I wonder how sensitive vanilla minecraft will be to my memory oc

probably not much

[pure garnet]

do i dare the resident evil requiem

or is that gonna be too much of a slideshow to waste my time with

[turbid locust]

would explode

[pure garnet]

path tracing dlaa already made my 5070ti unusable

[cosmic gazelle]

what are you using a 6700 for anyways, aren’t you one of the 15 people in here with a 5090

oh 5070 ti

[pure garnet]

i sold my 4070 to ennui so it’s just the card in my 2nd system

[turbid locust]

I would try it if I liked paying full price for games

[shell void]

1112 🔥

[pure garnet]

steam family is my method, i didn’t pay for it

[cosmic gazelle]

i haven’t bought a game directly from steam in like 4 years lol

[pure garnet]

you’re so cpu bottle necked here it’s insane

[cosmic gazelle]

i actually bought one of those chinese accounts for borderlands 4 because it wasn’t worth $60 to me

[turbid locust]

I think it’s funny that my system is also capable of this and I play at a locked 138 lol

[cosmic gazelle]

why 138

[shell void]

idk how im expected to play this game with such a shitty framerate

[turbid locust]

Wait @shell void 16GB ram??

[turbid locust]

reasons

[cosmic gazelle]

bros running half vsync on his 276hz monitor

[shell void]

same and with these settings

[shell void]

?

[turbid locust]

everything low, bloom on

[turbid locust]

That’s what it says in your overlay

[cosmic gazelle]

i play real games like rimworld

[shell void]

no i want full resolution gun skins and maps

no point in putting textures and ui on low

and msaa 4x improves visibility of distant enemies

[pure garnet]

i run everything cranked but msaa 2x

[turbid locust]

Oh I play like 8x msaa

[pure garnet]

sharpening off though it’s gross

it caps at 4 in val

[turbid locust]

but like everything low cause competitive reasons

there’s shit in Val where people can hide util in grass if you’re on high lol

[shell void]

material and detail quality is the visual clutter, turning textures and ui down just makes your gun skins and ui look worse

[cosmic gazelle]

isn’t arc like that too

[pure garnet]

i only play cs2 on low because it looks the same pretty much

[shell void]

yeh what abt it

[turbid locust]

UI settings is literally just transparency filter lmao

[turbid locust]

why are you only running 16GB lmao

[shell void]

that is 16GB allocated with everything that i have open, not 16GB total ram in the system

[cosmic gazelle]

https://tenor.com/view/poor-gif-23166194

[turbid locust]

Oh

[shell void]

my systems all have 64GB

well actually thats a lie my 14900k is on 48GB rn

[cosmic gazelle]

i wish i could afford 64 so i could play escape from tarkov properly

[turbid locust]

I would run more than 32GB but all my boards only have 2 dimm slots

[shell void]

what's the holdup? just get a H32M kit

[turbid locust]

no

[pure garnet]

if i had a use for 64gb id cop the 2x32 1r kits

[shell void]

i dont regret getting dual rank Adie because ryzen cant use bandwidth anyway

[cosmic gazelle]

i determined yesterday you can assemble a 4 node server totaling 32gb of ddr1

[pure garnet]

gear 2 screenshot config

[cosmic gazelle]

why aren’t you guys running that

[turbid locust]

optimal

[shell void]

are you using soc override instead of amd overclocking?

[pure garnet]

1.3v soc is crazy fr

[turbid locust]

It’s 1.1v

[shell void]

soc override is more precise, but it doesnt read correctly in zentimings

amd overclocking overshoots a bit

[turbid locust]

HWInfo reads 1.1v

[shell void]

[turbid locust]

tRFC 500 tREFI 50000 makes me

[pure garnet]

anything less than 65535 makes me cringe

[turbid locust]

me when I double my temp sensitivity for 0.01% gain

[shell void]

especially flat 50K because it's buildzoid copypasta

[pure garnet]

no fan? megamind pic

[turbid locust]

acting like I don’t have a 5090 in an A3

shut yall 12 fan fishbowl asses tf up

[shell void]

i dont think i even have zentimings installed rn

[brisk jolt]

yeah no my 265k is already hitting its limit with 50ktrefi in that little hotbox

[pure garnet]

config on my daily system is redacted for some reason

[shell void]

understandable

you have a real processor so your ram gets more thoroughly utilized and can easily overheat even without touching trefi

i have a xbox cpu so it barely gets touched

[pure garnet]

there we go

[cosmic gazelle]

my ram is testing trefi 13912 right now because it’s what the slider went to and i couldnt be bothered to wait for my up arrow to hit 14k

[pure garnet]

slider?????

[cosmic gazelle]

yeah idk

[brisk jolt]

mf talking bout some slider

[cosmic gazelle]

all my values have sliders in this bios

and drop downs but the drop downs kinda suck

[pure garnet]

yeah i type timings in like god intended

[cosmic gazelle]

would if i could trust me

this shit from 2015

[brisk jolt]

god did not intend for you to input 50k instead of 65535 in a matx/atx case

[pure garnet]

look man you gotta put up a decent setup first

or 8600 on intel

[brisk jolt]

6400 boots

[cosmic gazelle]

i haven’t added that my pc is receiving its power from a cable pulled from the back of a 2009 imac

i feel like that adds a little character yknow

[brisk jolt]

8400 boots but Im already hitting temp limit on 8200c40 65535

me and the bois are gonna be hitting FH6 on release day

[shell void]

launching batman arkham city automatically installed this, and set it to launch at startup

frickin legacy games

[brisk jolt]

good sign your 9800x3d is now outdated and you need a 9850x3d/9950x3d king

[cosmic gazelle]

i do not have particularly high hopes as someone with 1500 hours in fh4 and like 400 in fh5

but i will be playing

[brisk jolt]

i skipped FH5 entirely because the map felt plain, the progression wasnt existent bcs they spoonfeed you supercars, and the fact the roads are wide as fuck

[shell void]

[cosmic gazelle]

fh4 was 100% a better game by a wide margin

[brisk jolt]

like genuinely you can comfortably go side by side in one lane

[cosmic gazelle]

fh5 was lazy and they never fixed multiple game breaking bugs

[mossy kestrel]

How many bad sectors on a new hdd would you accept before returning it? Just got a new 12tb hdd and it has 6 bad sectors.

[cosmic gazelle]

fh4 has no game breaking bugs

[brisk jolt]

you definitely need to upgrade to novalake thats for sure

[cosmic gazelle]

like, none probably? lol

[shell void]

oh absolutely

[mossy kestrel]

._. Thanks

[cosmic gazelle]

also tell me how i spend $100 on your ultimate edition that includes “all dlcs” and you just decide to say fuck you the car packs are all sold separately

[pure garnet]

https://tenor.com/bQFpt.gif

[brisk jolt]

if it had bad sectors just return it

[brisk jolt]

i honestly didnt even try 8600 bcs I was figuring out the 8400 sauce and back then I ran into heat issues in like 10 mins

[mossy kestrel]

Sent an email.

Thanks

[pure garnet]

im kinda coming up on the big 7000 hours in final fantasy

[shell void]

as of right now my plan is:
main pc: 52 core nova lake, 2x24GB (assuming ram pricing is still terrible), and 5090
2nd pc: 24 core zen 6, 4x32GB, and arc b580

[cosmic gazelle]

is it really that good for someone who is not really into anime or that kind of stuff

i’ve never played it

[pure garnet]

i play the mmo

i mostly just raid

[shell void]

id rather not run only 48GB on nova lake but im not paying $1000 for a new ram kit

[brisk jolt]

my plan rn is to just keep my main as is, swap ARL to NVL with the same H24M, get a 240mm AIO and thats basically it

U7 for NVL

or are they also gonna call it X? I dunno

[pure garnet]

if pricing is normal i plan to just build a whole new system

[shell void]

i have no idea what theyll do for naming

[pure garnet]

otherwise i'll probably pull out my ram

[shell void]

there's going to be like a million skus so itll be a bit confusing

[brisk jolt]

If pricing is normal ill hop onto 64GB CUDIMMs

as for my main pc side… at most ill swap over to a 420mm aio

[pure garnet]

i probably won’t day 1 nova lake since i’ll be moving

so i’ll probably just build new pc with 60 series

[brisk jolt]

i wont d1 nvl bcs I have no time to config it till like april

[cosmic gazelle]

@brisk jolt do you foresee fh6 being somewhat optimized or is it gonna run like shit you think

[pure garnet]

time to open resident evil and take screenshots instead of palying

[brisk jolt]

all fh games are optimised and the hardware requirements still point towards it

[shell void]

dont worry gang ill d1 nova lake and test it with the recommended config of 2x1r 8000 jedec

[brisk jolt]

i personally think ill be skipping zen 6 entirely and wait out for 6090

[pure garnet]

bro that denoiser is awful

[brisk jolt]

2027 apart from NVL ill be focusing more back to peripherals

[shell void]

what am i looking at here

i dont see any obvious flaws aside from a generally low detail and grainy image

[pure garnet]

might only be in motion

but the tiles were dancing

[shell void]

boilin and dancin tiles are optimal trust

[pure garnet]

playing a horror game at 20fps adds to the horror

[cosmic gazelle]

oh did they release specs yet

i haven’t seen it

[brisk jolt]

also 21fps and not a 3ghz 5070ti

[cosmic gazelle]

i didn’t find fh5 to be especially optimized, it was kinda just meh for the time

not bad not great

[shell void]

where's your 3GHz 5070Ti?

[brisk jolt]

i run it at 3.2

[shell void]

i shouldve tried flashing the aorus master 5070ti vbios on the dragon trio 5070ti before i sold it

i ran it at 2700MHz but it was like 200W because undervolt

[brisk jolt]

my 5070ti aero ran it at like 3.28 but that was before the 400w vbios

currently i run this prime at 3.25

[cosmic gazelle]

damn the memory kit i bought for $181 is now $348

glad i got it when i did

[brisk jolt]

might be a hot take but if they did a 3.5 slot 5090 aero but with the 5080 aero’s fans I wouldve copped that over the AMI

that more exposed heatsink imo is more aura

[cosmic gazelle]

bro this is both great and alarming

great in that on highest settings it runs really well on a 3080

but i have a 9800x3d with a severely underpowered gpu and that's my cpu utilization?

(i was getting 130fps i think the screenshot made it stutter)

I haven't watched it. HBO ruined the franchise for me after Game of Throne S06 ended.

well acqwaqually what ure doing is unethical for the creators of the content or software 🤓 ☝️🫸

[merry stirrup]

sccrew those guys but pirated software is just too sus for me

[wise bear]

NYEHEHEHEHE

[livid flame]

As someone who has worked on a game. Piracy sucks. DMA done right (steam) was a god send for the gaming industry.

[merry stirrup]

i just said i dont pirate software

[south shuttle]

software or content same thing

[wise bear]

nnnno

[south shuttle]

they could argue you made them lose money

[merry stirrup]

yeah my bad the people who made cars 2006 need more money from me

i could also argue ive bought 6 copies of cars throughout my life

[south shuttle]

you watched their stuff without their consent

[livid flame]

You can argue DMA kinda killed music renumeration

[fervent chasm]

Still no panther lake laptops on Amazon

[merry stirrup]

import that one cheap lenovo from china

[shell void]

that lenovo looks incredible for the price and it pisses me off that it's china exclusive at the low price

[livid flame]

Live music prices are insane these days but it’s a multi layered problem and DMA part of that for the musicians/singers that made it

[shell void]

are you american, and are you trying to buy one right now?

there's a X7 358H laptop instock at Bestbuy for $1450

[fervent chasm]

Double yes

I just wanted to check Amazon idrc about anywhere else

I have a bunch of Amazon credits

Well, don’t have to buy rn I guess

Just looking at them

If it was priced right, I’d sell some of my ram and buy it

[south shuttle]

i’m not saying piracy is good or bad overall but… if you support piracy as of watching content without consent or for free then logically with similar principle you’d also allow companies to pirate or scrape data like your messages as they’re useful for them it’s fair depending on the perspective

[merry stirrup]

buying the newest generation of hw that just came out, priced right is going to be a stretch

[livid flame]

If it’s not for the original price you’ll get called a scalper

[fervent chasm]

I mean, look at china’s price

[merry stirrup]

they already do that regardless of if i support it or not

[fervent chasm]

Already went through that like 3 times

[merry stirrup]

ai is actively doing that with many forms of art despite backlash

[livid flame]

Capitalism. Sell it for triple. American dream that.

[merry stirrup]

because i want to watch a show from 20 years ago without paying netflix more money than the people who made it by a significant margin does not make me a bad person

[fervent chasm]

I’ve been waiting to sell my 4x48gb dimms, I’m hoping the prices keep rising, if NWR can fix the 2x64 kit I’m selling the 4x48

[merry stirrup]

do you think discord was sold for hopes and dreams that it would profit lol

[livid flame]

No different to buying stock from the market low and selling it high. But you’ll be called a scalper for ram, for stocks you’d be called a genius

[merry stirrup]

never got this mindset

[south shuttle]

you have to find balance between copying/pirating and incentivising under the assumption that you own the thing you own right to the invention or thing you created in a capitalist world
obviously if we helped each other that would be the best but that is unrealistic for now

[merry stirrup]

i feel liek youre really only scalping if youre buying and reselling during a period of shortage to specifically make money

[south shuttle]

democracy is really fragile

[merry stirrup]

if youre just taking advantage of the high prices like everyone else its fair game

[fervent chasm]

I think piracy is ok for stuff that huge companies sell overpriced

If you’re pirating a cheap indie dev game that’s like $5 then idk

[south shuttle]

any sort of helping each other has it’s issue as some just take advantage

[livid flame]

It’s like you buy a comic book and selling it for thousands more a couple of years later. Be called an investment, with ram a scalper.

[livid flame]

Overpriced is a matter of perspective

[merry stirrup]

like specifically buying all of the pokemon cards at target hten reselling them on fbm or something

[fervent chasm]

Nah, scalping is quiet sells

IE buying something cheap on fbmp, you buy for $350 sell for $500 (market)

[south shuttle]

i still like the oxford’s definition of scalping - sell for a quick profit or massive gain

[merry stirrup]

the word scalp shouldnt have been used this way

[pure garnet]

scalping a comic book would be you buying up hundreds of copies of the comic book to dry up supply

[livid flame]

If you think it’s only worth 100 but it cost 80 to develop and they sell at 200. It’s that overpriced? Or is that just its value to the majority and you’re cheap and stealing it?

[pure garnet]

memory is already in low supply

[merry stirrup]

most people attribute scalping now to just, reselling 😭

its not unfair that i got a good deal on a computer and then resold it for market price

[livid flame]

Problem I’m showing is 1 person profiting from something small, people will call a scalper and hate them. They’re just doing what’s right by them in all the situations. Cause it’s ram, people get upset and precious

[fervent chasm]

If you’re buying once a month to resell, is it really scalping, you’re not buying up entire stocks of the item

[livid flame]

Capitalism baby

[south shuttle]

scalping and reselling are decently interchangable or not depending on who your ask

everyone has a different definition of scalping

[merry stirrup]

which is not a good thing

[pure garnet]

i think were drastically over complicating a simple concept

[south shuttle]

for me it’s quick profit or massive

[merry stirrup]

is it scalping to get a 60$ 1080ti and resell it for 120$?

[south shuttle]

for other it’s bots buying off 9999 stock and selling it instantly

[merry stirrup]

no, you just got a good deal

quick profit or not its still a fair price regardless

[pure garnet]

i don’t think you can scalp a 10 year old gpu

[merry stirrup]

no but you get what im saying

if i sell my 5070ti for market price but i got it for 700$ is it scalping rn

no bro i bought this thing 8 months ago

[pure garnet]

if you buy up a bunch of an item from a store for the sole intent to resell for a profit then it’s scalping

[fervent chasm]

I was getting “flamed” not long ago here because I said I was buying ram that I could find cheap with the intent to sell it

[merry stirrup]

yeah

[livid flame]

The problem is floppa, some people on here bounce on people and hate on them straight away for just doing what i consider a normal thing

[merry stirrup]

act broke to stay rich is the tldr

[south shuttle]

reselling or scalping is fine it’s a standard business practise imo as long you don’t give yourself some sort of advantage like using bots or decepting like telling someone what you sell is at good price

[pure garnet]

steal keyboards from your school to resell

[merry stirrup]

i fw this

[pure garnet]

it’s the method

[south shuttle]

it’s what many of our economies have been built on

[merry stirrup]

6$ dell keeb obo

[fervent chasm]

Did this with laptops my school was going to recycle

[livid flame]

Probably by one of the people who have a lot of ram they bought before the crisis. It’s like a billionaire saying you don’t deserve money unless you make it like me.

[fervent chasm]

Yah, it was snail lol

[livid flame]

Figures.

[fervent chasm]

And a few others

[pure garnet]

i mean yeah you’re buying it with the intent of immediately flipping it

[south shuttle]

typically reselling or scalping is like buying from china and selling to western

[livid flame]

The irony is he has a lot of ram he doesn’t use. If he cared that much he would sell it for the value he paid for it

[south shuttle]

in my definition*

[fervent chasm]

I haven’t even sold anything I’ve bought yet, still waiting for prices to rise

[merry stirrup]

anyways, i "learned" docker

[pure garnet]

floppa do you have a board to test the ks in

i forgot about our switcheroo

[merry stirrup]

i can put it in the b760 realistically

i just dont want to be a klutz and blow up my sisters board

[livid flame]

I remember he complained about ram prices and it meant a friend was priced out of a rig he was buying. Like I’d just give my friend a couple of sticks or sell them for what I paid. That’s what friends do. Not whine about the prices

[merry stirrup]

(like dropping the cpu or sumn)

[south shuttle]

scalping is fine as long it doesn’t cause discontent

[livid flame]

I mean. Is it scalping? Isn’t scalping defined as profiting on small change in prices?

[south shuttle]

example: things X sells for 200 in the us market a buyer wants it
seller buys it from europe for 100 and exports it to us, sells it to the buyer for 195

[pure garnet]

my sister is so little involved in her pc she just had me order everything from newegg and fix it

0 input on what parts i chose

[merry stirrup]

yeah thats what happened this time but i dont want to buy my 6th lga 1700 board and third for her

[south shuttle]

by oxford’s definition (not vast majority) it’s either quick profit or mass profit

[pure garnet]

is this going anywhere

[south shuttle]

it’s just that, no deception or intend to starve supply in base meaning

under oxford’s

[merry stirrup]

i will however test my KS at some point in her board

[livid flame]

I always thought it was just incremental profit and bounce stock up and down to take advantage of similar margin over and over again

[merry stirrup]

i want to redo my craptastic soldering job on it because it makes me uncomfortable

part of me also wants to leave it

[livid flame]

Never realised it was about large profit

[merry stirrup]

im gonna ship it separate from the IHS btw

like im gonna separate their packaging yknow

cause the IHS knocked off the resistor last time in the clamshell

so im just gonna bubble wrap both and give you LM

[south shuttle]

there is a self regulating factor to scalping and that is if demand is high, manufacturers just make more of it which is the deincentiviser to scalp

[fervent chasm]

If only they’d make more ram

[livid flame]

What’s the uno reverse to that when a company or set of companies reduce output to create a scalping culture?

[fervent chasm]

Wasn’t there an announcement that they’re actually going to pull back on how much they’re making?

[south shuttle]

cartel

if it causes harm then yes bad

[merry stirrup]

they said that theyre not going to increase production largely to avoid over supply like the nand fall of whatever years ago

when 1TB ssds were 35$ and so on

[livid flame]

IIRC micron said like 20% will go to consumer ram partners and 80% direct to AI

[merry stirrup]

thats cause they feared a shortage and made a shit ton

[south shuttle]

yep

[merry stirrup]

so not that theyre making less

[south shuttle]

you don’t want the tulip scenario

[merry stirrup]

theyre just not going to make more

and theyre going to let demand sort itself out

eventually people wont need more ram lol

[livid flame]

They’re going to sell ram to sit on shelves because there’s no power for the data centres. Then that’s going to go to ewaste because it can’t go in a consumer board

[merry stirrup]

yes

[south shuttle]

there is a self limiting factor to that as well

lost profit

as you can see AI is pretty irrational

because of it’s nonexistent profitability yet

[livid flame]

Then in 10 years there will be people make old data centres and their own AI on old shit getting rich

Because that ewaste will be seen as “efficient”

Or atleast inexpensive

[south shuttle]

i realized first from p2w games i used to play a child

they release “limited items”

and then they just keep releasing more “limited items”

until it looks like nft fest and they’re all similar and “limited”

it potentially dilutes the demand for individual things

[livid flame]

P2w works until it doesn’t. Even RS3 is removing a fuck ton of p2w to try and get people to play it now

And it’s been like that for what, 19 years or something now

P2W does keep the game free for everyone else though. So it’s not entirely bad

[south shuttle]

if they starve us out of dram chips naturally competition appears

[livid flame]

Just 90% bad

[south shuttle]

ofc it may take long to develop but it would eventually

[livid flame]

Competition has appeared. Chinese ram makers can’t believe their luck they can sell their product at like $20 less than the rest and make even more profit than they ever dreamed of

[south shuttle]

same when china doesn’t have access to proper euv, they started being creative with duv

[indigo walrus]

Not necessarily... not for industries where you need extreme precision and manufacturing "blueprints" to make the shorted products at least. Not saying it won't happen, but we're not talking about making toothbrushes here.

[south shuttle]

and pretty sure over the span of few decades they would develop euv eventually either by well copying blueprints or they’d find out via their research

[livid flame]

The next biggest thing for the ram industry will be scandal between manufacturers in the ai circle jerk and Chinese. Especially for ddr6, watch the patents and spy accusations and suing all over the place

[livid flame]

“Research”

[south shuttle]

depending on how much it chokes the economy they may hire spies and developmemt teams that are worth up to the economy that can be regained back, ofc they don’t always succeed but many times it does

[indigo walrus]

China has been trying to reverse engineer ASML's lithography machines for years. They still haven't succeeded. ASML finds this out when the fab factories call them for help reassembling the machines after they "mysteriously" stop working. 🤔 😁

[livid flame]

Yeah I remember reading about that

[south shuttle]

all it takes sometimes is bribing ex employees of a proprietary firm to get their majority of their trade secrets

[south shuttle]

same

[south shuttle]

yeah it’s hilarious but something is better than nothing i guess 🤣

in two decades they may get the tech

but by the time asml might have something better than euv

[livid flame]

Tbh it’s ingenious to keep banging your head against the same wall. Because one day it will work

Modern day youngsters in particular fall for the scams of old because they’ve never see them these days

[south shuttle]

well if they crack the egg it would be huge

[livid flame]

It would be great for the balance of power and competition

[south shuttle]

imagine china getting euv and actually competing starts to compete with tsmc, they would not have to import the chips

[livid flame]

Especially as all we hear about in politics is China is evil.. yet most of the worlds products for every day life come from there

[south shuttle]

i’m not saying it’s easy but if you roll a dice enough times you may hit a jackpot

[south shuttle]

the us would probably end up in an ai landslide

if they lose the chip monopoly

[livid flame]

I mean they don’t have the chip monopoly. They have the company monopoly. The chips not being made in the US is a big problem and why the US invested in Intel

[south shuttle]

yeah if the us would lose taiwan it would be disasterous

[livid flame]

China keeps saying it will take it but it doesn’t. Certainly more than capable of it. Certainly had the opportunity while Taiwan allies been preoccupied.

[south shuttle]

i mean, war is really expensive

[livid flame]

They still don’t do it, probably because the industry it supplies would end up ruined from Chinese intervention and they know it

No one wants to go to war with China because of the genuine every day product reliance they supply

[south shuttle]

i assume china would attack taiwan if the us had major internal conflicts

[livid flame]

Waging a war against a nation that supplies you with a ton of goods, to then have to pay way more for them whilst funding a war. Difficult.

[south shuttle]

and wasn’t capable to put up a proper fight

[livid flame]

Unless you have very large global support such as against Russian oil, it makes any war so self damaging

[south shuttle]

yeah it just ruins the economy

and taiwan could end up in ashes after the war

[livid flame]

Even then. Everyone is still taking Russian oil

[south shuttle]

cheap is cheap

when if makes your life easier you take it

[proven cairn]

Hey tech-chat-2

[livid flame]

If the uk didn’t take Russian oil or genuinely intended to phase it out. We would have to resume drilling our own just to keep the price of fuel set today

Instead we pay people around $12000 a month to maintain the rigs and report any vessel sightings

[south shuttle]

pretty sure the chinese are just smart enough to not wage a war, it’s prob not worth in in their calculations

even winning a war could be consideredd a loss

[livid flame]

A nation that has fooled people into believing it has 1 billion people when it’s had strict birth controls of 1 child per family for 50 years doesn’t need to physically wage war

[south shuttle]

sacrifice trillions for a little island that you just bombed (ruined) in order to occupy it

[livid flame]

It’s already as smart as you say

In 2015 they even stopped the 1 child policy to say it was due to an aging population. However babies don’t sort old people right now.

[south shuttle]

anything can happen really

i don’t agree with us supplying wars
obviously same applies to other countries

the us should sort it’s own increasingly fragile democracy

look at what is the us doing w venezuela

there is 0.001% justification for the harm caused so far

by the us

it’s just intervention at this point

for… the oil

[lime barn]

would this be a bad idea for a NAS build?

[south shuttle]

make sure the copper wiring is thick enough and the voltage stepper is reliable

if the stepper fails and sends +12v where it shouldn’t and your hdds or drives don’t have ovp and possibly other protection your driver will get fried

[livid flame]

Tbh just use a proper psu

[south shuttle]

yep

that container pill doesn’t seem like a high end or mid range stepper

[livid flame]

You’re making a nas. Potentially expensive high storage drives. Don’t be cheap on the psu

[gentle loom]

I have a

Ryzen 5 5600x
Rx 6750xt 12gb OC 2x
and a 750w corsair PSU Gold edition.

what do you think I should upgrade based on my psu and specs?

[south shuttle]

rme 750w?

the system seems optimized, you upgrade based on what you need

[lethal topaz]

these work in a pinch but if you have too many drives spinning up at the same time you can cause issues on the PSU rail

[gentle loom]

yes

it runs quite well but my gpu has an annoying audible sound that separates it from everything I could upgrade that first

as I have a full size ATX case I could upgrade to a 3 fan gpu instead

[south shuttle]

biggest issue is the stepper can fail and send high voltage (12v) into your drives

the stepper’s power can be dirtah

[lethal topaz]

oh wtf i thought that was a sata extender

yeowch

[south shuttle]

anyways it’s a psu for your nas drives that’s getting power from your psu

it looks like low end solution

@lime barn which protections does it claim?

if none then immediate pass

you’re buying a drive killer or a fire hazard

[livid flame]

Or both

And trust me. PCIe first gen graphics cards supplied with molex connectors were the best, first and biggest fire hazard to the industry that you wouldn’t want to live with now PSUs are double wattage by standards

[pure garnet]

is all of it an option

[livid flame]

Ironically I set a rig alight overclocking a cpu and the gpu overclock on the molex survived just fine

[gentle loom]

hm?

[livid flame]

Although everything else in that system but the hard drive went boom

[gentle loom]

my cpu is overclocked and running cinebench r23 it got to max 36C and got 12,037 points multi thread.

100% load 4.7ghz

[brisk eagle]

both of those “whites” are very blue
if you dont care about the blue light harm then its fine
but otherwise id turn it down

[pure garnet]

what overkill cooler did you buy for a 5600x to do 36c at full load

[lunar sable]

Building a PC in an O11 Dynamic Mini v2, with an X570 TUF WIFI. What’s the best way to connect the nine fans to the motherboard?

[gentle loom]

oh just the thermalright argb cooler..

I do have 7 fans 140mm and 160mm at front blasting air all through my case and I barely hear anything so..

[pure garnet]

i for some reason have to doubt that one

[gentle loom]

I got the thermalright assassin 120 argb cooler

you probs know as I struggled to install yesterday and I am running MX6 thermal paste underneath it..

I also made sure the screws were tight on the cooler the 2 screws so there’s no gap

[pure garnet]

i think you got the min temp confused for the peak temp

[gentle loom]

oh right

[shell void]

-500MHz PBO 🔥

[gentle loom]

what overkill cooler could I buy for it? 🤔

you got me interested now I would do that

[pure garnet]

[gentle loom]

I want my system colder than antarctica

[shell void]

no point, your peerless assassin is already overkill

[pure garnet]

ln2 it is then

[gentle loom]

it was only £20 cooler though and it’s recommended sooooo

[shell void]

youre up against the limits of thermodynamics trying to pull heat out of a tiny core chiplet through a heatspreader

[edgy laurel]

36c at full load right lol

[pure garnet]

it's not that the thermalright is bad

it's just 36c at full load is like not a number that fits into the equation

[gentle loom]

well my room is quite cold so that could have an effect right?

[edgy laurel]

its not cold enough to do that

[gentle loom]

oh my room is so cold i’m shivering lol

[edgy laurel]

are you in full arctic gear?

[gentle loom]

maybe

[edgy laurel]

and at risk of frostbite?

[pure garnet]

you're displacing ~130-160w of heat through a small piece of metal, a room temp isn't changing that

[gentle loom]

maybe

ryzen 5 5600x is 90w right?

[pure garnet]

here's a guy using cold water though a custom loop

and they're still in the 60s

[shell void]

if youre running it stock then it's 88W

[gentle loom]

oh I use open hardware monitor

i think you just read the wrong value or it's reporting wrong

[edgy laurel]

[gentle loom]

🤷‍♀️

[pure garnet]

i was shoving ~40f air into this 360mm aio and im still at 44c

i don't think the thermodynamics line up here

[gentle loom]

would a rx 9070xt be good for my build

Ryzen 5 5600x

Rx 6750xt 12gb OC 2x

and a 750w corsair rme PSU Gold edition.

I have 5x be quiet light wings 140mm fans (argb using the hub that came with it) and 2x (already pre installed lian li lancool 216 fans 160mm argb)

I run 4 sata ssds and a 1TB nvme ssd with my 32gb ddr4 ram clocked at 3200mhz with expo enabled

it would be a fine combo but id recommend a 5070 instead unless youre planning to daily drive linux

I played all of life is strange

on my xbox though because I was younger and had no money

[fringe vigil]

best games I’m also playing before the storm first time

[gentle loom]

I have a massive xbox physical library and a series x and s and all xbox consoles collecting dust now though.

[fringe vigil]

You got a pc now

[gentle loom]

I bought a purifier to try and prevent as much dust and my room gets dusty I have had a pc for 3 years atp but my pc is now finally good enough to just use that daily

[fringe vigil]

So you upgraded?

[gentle loom]

I played this on my xbox series x but for some reason fps was like 40 most of the time.

[gentle loom]

yes with a gen 4 motherboard and a nvme ssd and stuff

[fringe vigil]

Double exposure

[gentle loom]

and better psu no more stuttering

[fringe vigil]

[gentle loom]

mhmmm used to run my rx 6750xt on a evga 600w bronze 80 plus psu lols

And a gen 3 motherboard b450mhp

I now have a asus b550 motherboard wifi II and it’s so much better my games are smooth by pc is quieter temps are lower and overall good I used to game on a hotbox micro atx build a trash cheap case that moves if u just as much touch it slightly.

anyways i’m gonna play dead island 1 tomorrow i’m excited picked it up on steam for dirt cheap due to a massive sale right now

[fringe vigil]

How come you paid on SCloud

[gentle loom]

I upload music there and one of my songs got 105k plays lol

[fringe vigil]

show me

[gentle loom]

I get like $30 a month from it passively but I pay $7 for soundcloud for artist a month

[low sorrel]

Holy shit the iPhone air is fucking THIN

[gentle loom]

didn’t know it existed

I’m rocking a iPhone 13 still it has 75% battery capacity lol

[pure garnet]

single speaker kills it for me personally

[fringe vigil]

16 pro max

[edgy laurel]

Air.. completely forgot that came out

zero hype

[pure garnet]

the entire thing with the air is defeated once you buy a case

[fringe vigil]

freehorror game time to play

[low sorrel]

I walked past the apple store and I was like I wonder how the air feels

That shit is thin AF too bad the rest of it is dumb

[shell void]

i think the air is pretty, but not having a telephoto lens is a dealbreaker for me

i love my zoom lens

the pro max also doesnt feel too thick to me so it's like eh whatever

[wraith steeple]

[shell void]

bros grillin

[merry stirrup]

setup a lil homepage for the arrstack

[pure garnet]

a realm reborn stack

[merry stirrup]

arr stack is automated piracy

[pure garnet]

no arr is final fantasy xiv: a realm reborn

[merry stirrup]

no frick you

works quite nice

[brisk jolt]

?

[low sorrel]

The neon

Also what do you think about the team comp

[brisk jolt]

the fade dog is the one entrying

https://tenor.com/view/pigeon-doctor-pigeon-doctor-walking-t-mobile-gif-7871406254764076813

[low sorrel]

could you imagine that we lost?

[brisk eagle]

is this homepage

[pure garnet]

@merry stirrup @shell void the glacial with no covers is pretty cool

[nova patrol]

naked motherboard

[turbid locust]

any board without the heatsinks looks kinda cool

[pure garnet]

yeah but this has so much overkill stuff on it

[turbid locust]

real

[pure garnet]

2 x870e chipsets

[turbid locust]

why

[brisk jolt]

@shell void fuck

[slim pebble]

lol ouch

Best OLED though

[brisk jolt]

https://tenor.com/view/fade-away-oooooooooooo-aga-emoji-crumble-gif-20008708

[slim pebble]

I mean. You really can’t go wrong with any OLED

Get whatever and enjoy it for the next three years and then get something. Better

[brisk jolt]

if it doesnt restock by april im jst gonna get a redmagic astra

[wraith steeple]

[brisk jolt]

makes for a nice tablet to run native mobile games+stream from the PC for steam+works as a OLED portable monitor

[turbid locust]

I mean… you kinda can but. Any OLED is gonna be better than any non-OLED

[brisk jolt]

Im also down to get the latest gen QD oled thats more scratch resistant coating if it wasnt for the fact that it costs another 500 SGD

and that its not out yet here

[turbid locust]

My setup is built around my C4 but I REALLY want one of those 5K displays coming out

[lunar comet]

Can you dm me actual white color? I really didnt pay much attention to the white while I was tweaking. I just based the grays and other colors on my amoled phone screen

[brisk eagle]

ffffff

255 255 255

[lunar comet]

Its more of a .1% yellowish-greenish tint on my phone

[brisk eagle]

that is strange

just take a blank piece of paper and base it on that

or your phone flashlight

[lunar comet]

This is what it looked like before i tweaked it.

[brisk jolt]

nooo i cant bear losing another 75hz

[brisk eagle]

turn the left one to the right one

[lunar comet]

Have to redo all of it again lol but sure

[brisk eagle]

i dont think it is very difficult

[turbid locust]

If I can get a 5K display in like a … 38” 16:9 config I’m down

[brisk eagle]

but also its up to you what color you want

stop whenever you want its your monitors

[lunar comet]

Can I revert the changes I made in the windows calibration thing?

[brisk eagle]

yea

i dont remember how tho

[lunar comet]

I see

[brisk jolt]

I honestly wouldnt mind if I could get a 5K TV at like 40 inches and above

Mine so far is QLED 4k- We have no plans to change it

[turbid locust]

I don’t think 5K TVs will be a thing

[pure garnet]

5k is 1000% not a tv res

[turbid locust]

as much as I would like it to be lol

[pure garnet]

realistically we’ll be on 4k tvs a long time

[turbid locust]

Yeah

[pure garnet]

8k is extremely bandwidth expensive

and the panels are as well obviously

[turbid locust]

Isn’t DLSS performance on 8K still like 1440p lol

[pure garnet]

like even the local isp level netflix caches

that’s a lot of bandwidth to send

[pure garnet]

yeah 1426p

[turbid locust]

fire

[pure garnet]

for ultra performance

performance is just 4k

[turbid locust]

damn lol

[pure garnet]

quality 0.67 (i know)
balanced 0.58
performance 0.5
ultra performance 0.33

if you ever wanna do the math for a panel res

[turbid locust]

🔥

but yeah if they make big 5K panels I may look into em but otherwise we on C4 for awhile

[pure garnet]

i’ll go oled after i graduate

with the bad study habits and unmedicated it takes me hours to do assignments sometimes

[turbid locust]

remember those days lol

[pallid marsh]

UnMedicated means you have enough money saved

[turbid locust]

medication generally isn’t expensive lol

well, insured

[pure garnet]

yeah with my insurance adhd meds wouldn’t have been much

i just tried to get tested and my local docs refused

[pallid marsh]

My brothers cost $15k a month for his psoriatic arthritis without insurance

[pure garnet]

would it not be cheaper to go and get insurance then

[turbid locust]

I wasn’t even officially diagnosed, my regular doctor just prescribed em anyway lmao

[pure garnet]

my options were drive like 3 hours away and go to the biggest hospital out of network or go on a waitlist for a local clinic

which i’ve been on over a year at this venture

[brisk jolt]

More importantly I’d rather us have OLED anyway

[turbid locust]

I just got established with a doctor about 4 months ago, trying to do what I need to do to take care of myself lol. I was on like the “hope I don’t die” vibe for like 2-3 years previously. No insurance no doctor no nothin lol

[pure garnet]

i haven’t been back to my pcp since but realistically i have no reason to go atm

[turbid locust]

I just be chillin fr

(he was NOT chillin)

[pure garnet]

actually they told me to try and keep my blood pressure lower

so i just don’t go back because that keeps it lower

[lunar comet]

Ive set the left monitor at a lower brightness

[brisk eagle]

yea that looks good

[lunar comet]

Shades of gray are different

[turbid locust]

My most recent adventure was ENT stuff

there’s parts of my sinuses that stay swelled 24/7 and it basically hinders my breathing through my nose by like 60%

Was recommended to have surgery to correct it but I dunno man

[south shuttle]

samee

[south shuttle]

that may not solve the underlying issue

allergies?

my chronic inflammation is so bad that nasal perforation from other factors (mostly just the recent flu i guess) it’s now more than 1.2cm in size and instead of stabilizing it’s getting larger, i went to an ent and ent surgeon and they cannot treat it despite me telling them it won’t stabilize on it’s own, it’s larger since then

mild saline sprays are all the surgeon recommended like tf

and antihystamines which also… they just don’t solve chronic inflammation

there is not autoimmune activity/disease detected in the area nor infection anymore

i guess it’s just my immunity attacking the allergens something similar to periodontitis

and it causes collateral damage

they will be taking a third sample but i doubt they find anything

their testing does not include what i’m asking for i would have to contact and travel to like germany

[green marsh]

lol, youtube throwing this at me... I sold mine like a decade ago LOL https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5anlgbd6YU

i remember these being sold for like 200 euros including 8GB RAM and a 250GB HDD

[rain forge]

Hey! I’m in the market for a new pc and I’m not too familiar with amd so I’m wondering how would a Ryzen 7 78OOX3D compare to a i7 14700F?

[livid flame]

For games or productivity

[rain forge]

Mostly games

[brisk jolt]

in games 7800x3d smokes

any multi core CPU intensive task 14700 would smoke

[rain forge]

Is it bad for productivity?

[livid flame]

It’s basically a 7600x for productivity

[brisk jolt]

its usable but way better options

[livid flame]

If 90% of what you do is game it’s fine

[brisk jolt]

you can also game on a 14700 but generally you can assume they specialise in different areas

[rain forge]

I’m sorry I’m not too knowledgeable would it impact me being able to like watch/listen to stuff while I have games running

[livid flame]

We are still waiting on Intels big fucking ca- I mean bllc before you should consider intel for gaming again

[brisk jolt]

no

[brisk jolt]

oh no i dont have x3d i cant game

[rain forge]

Okay tysm this has been helpful

How many gb of vram does a 5070 come with? It doesn’t have it listed for whatever reason

[brisk jolt]

12gb

[rain forge]

Oh perfect ty

[livid flame]

12288mb

[wise bear]

Your mother.

[livid flame]

Your mother’s mother.

[gentle loom]

is it suppose to look like this?

it looks a little bent lol..

[brisk jolt]

turn it on and find out if it works but generally i think it should be fine

[south shuttle]

no standoff?

[gentle loom]

no stand off

my motherboard box didn’t come with any screws or anything

this doesn’t sit right with me..

[south shuttle]

loosen the screw a bit then so it doesn’t put as much strain

[livid flame]

Loosen the stand off a little. Also.. why does that chip look like it’s detaching from the pcb

[gentle loom]

?

[south shuttle]

it’s just misaligned from fab

it’s not nearly enough to make the chip detach

[gentle loom]

it’s a brand new motherboard.

[south shuttle]

long term strain is more concerning

[livid flame]

My m2 are bent in place but that’s because they’re held down by frzr shield and not a screw

3 years and haven’t died yet

[gentle loom]

okay loosened it a bit

[edgy laurel]

its literally in the picture and needs to be moved

if you're going to install without a standoff and bend the shit out of your drive, at least remove the rubber pad

[topaz veldt]

Just use woodscrews at that point

[brisk jolt]

tape it over

[burnt socket]

can someone load the meme where the file explorer storage bar is also sideways

[fringe vigil]

No

[crisp dragon]

Is there anyone knowledgeable in OLED panels? Can anybody tell me what this is? The panel does have anti-reflective coating and also has MLA technology. This is seen when the TV is completely turned off.

[gentle loom]

I’m confused lol I just put the drive in like this but loosened the screw so it isn’t strained and it works so..

I put the drive cooler thing back on top of it

[edgy laurel]

That is physical impact damage

Needs replacing

[crisp dragon]

From what though 😭 It just appeared on there I don't remember ever touching it

[edgy laurel]

There is no way we can tell you that

[crisp dragon]

Seems purely cosmetical, it doesn't impact image quality.

[edgy laurel]

But it isn't fixable

[proud scarab]

did a memtest cause pc was crashing a lot but i didnt expect this

or this on one of the ram sticks

from what i see, its liquid metal cause whoever designed the shield for the cpu has done a shitty job

[edgy laurel]

just looks like a normal solder blob

[proud scarab]

it does, but i can move it with my fingernail

[topaz veldt]

That ain't right

[fringe vigil]

hi

[fallow crown]

rtx ti super sounds wrong

[green marsh]

and this kids is why i never touch liquid metal in anything i want to run for long time. The temp improvements are not worth it, unless you put liquid metal under the IHS

[fallow crown]

How is the 6900 XTs performance? I found a EKWB one for sale.

[odd sable]

between a 3080 and 3090

[fallow crown]

ah okay

[odd sable]

low res its closer to a 3090, higher its closer to a 3080

https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gpu-hierarchy,4388-2.html

[fallow crown]

Would definitely be an upgrade from a 2080, but I'll probably be able to find something else for the same price I guess

[shell void]

the used market is tuff right now

[south shuttle]

is that some sort of metal fiber wire residue or adhesive, strange pcb coating?

if it’s a metal yikes…

[shell void]

whenever i look im unable to find anything worth buying on eBay and otherwise, but i dont check local fbm

[fallow crown]

Always been tuff here. Our prices are 150% more than everyone else

[pure garnet]

really can’t recommend anything amd that isn’t rdna4

[south shuttle]

can you angle your camera little to the right aiming at between the blob and ic

[pure garnet]

old radeon owners are being hung out to dry with fsr4 support

[south shuttle]

it looks like the solder ball jumped out of place during assembly

[fallow crown]

I could get a 4060 ti, or a 5060 ti?

[south shuttle]

sell your house and get 10 rtx pro 6000

[shell void]

5060Ti is a better value option than most other things in america right now

[fallow crown]

[brisk jolt]

https://tenor.com/view/桐生戦兎-仮面ライダービルド-kamen-rider-build-kiryu-sento-sento-kiryu-gif-11157174352445916018

[fallow crown]

I'm not in America

[pure garnet]

move fr

[south shuttle]

amd throwing rdna/2 users under the bus

[shell void]

yeah i have no idea how things are priced wherever you are

[fallow crown]

Anyways the 5060 ti is about $360 US

[shell void]

that's the same as here so probably good

[south shuttle]

how much for 4060 ti
