more than likely anyways

#

figure out if it is in fact a normal standard, if it’s some rando 12v rgb idk if it’ll just work

civic reef
#

Also, picture is from an EBay listing for a replacement for said Aurora R7, so it's identical for this one atleast

edgy laurel
#

The board in that picture.

civic reef
merry stirrup
#

oh nvm normal rgb is 12v

pure garnet
#

also if you’re not soldering inclined have we considering just tearing out the dell leds and running strips in the same spot

civic reef
civic reef
merry stirrup
#

would be the easiest

#

and probably most efficient

pure garnet
#

you can’t tape wires to a zif connector

merry stirrup
#

you’re saving a couple dollars at most diying it

pure garnet
#

unless the strips adapt to zif at some point earlier

#

because that’s your led strips end connection

@merry stirrup terrible news. Epic has raised V-bucks prices.

merry stirrup
#

the whole
mc legacy leak thing doesn’t seem like it’s gonna end well

#

i’m sure 3/4 of the clients are malware or something

steel stream
#

probably

#

i should bring up my 360 to my apartment to play legacy instead of destroying my computer

merry stirrup
#

it’s the easiest way to get someone to trust you

#

blind them via nostalgia

#

old friend turned into a snake type shit

steel stream
#

i can't believe the nice internet people would do this

pure garnet
#

battle pass vbuck rewards halved

#

you can only earn enough to buy the next pass

#

800 cost -> 800 earned

merry stirrup
#

gross

pure garnet
#

down from 1500

#

crew has been adjusted to 800 a month vs 1000, same price

steel stream
#

Epic might now be the worst company ever

merry stirrup
#

outrage

#

time to boycott them

steel stream
#

real

pure garnet
#

if you kept crew for a year you lost $46 of value from it basically (costs $144/year)

steel stream
#

damn

merry stirrup
#

i know it gives you bucks per month but

#

what else cause if it’s 12$ and only gives you 800 a month

pure garnet
#

you get every battle pass access + skin pack per month + 800vbucks a month

merry stirrup
#

what’s the point

merry stirrup
#

(i don’t play fortnite)

pure garnet
#

it’s better to buy crew over just the battle pass if you’re done with the pass

#

since they got rid of the xp boost from paid pass

#

because you can just unlock everything that month window

#

and it’s $13.99 or whatever vs 8.99 for a lot more stuff

merry stirrup
#

yeah

#

i heard about crew i just always thought it was basically an allowanc/vbucks saving account type shit and not anything else

#

automatically convert my real money into fake money at the end of the month

pure garnet
#

nah it’s basically just gamefly the battle pass and get an ugly skin

we shall see if they accept it

merry stirrup

somehow they also bought out the two local computer stores here (which is why there is now 0)

i have made a quite neat discovery

homie has h16a cut down into h8a

in case anyone was wondering it is in fact quite similar to h16a like everyone else says

6k c38 16GB kit (8GB*2) with ig officially named H8C

but even hwinfo just calls it adie

may do tcl at lower volts than h16a

#

booted 6k 28 at 1.25v - didnt try lower

if not then its just the best adie ive ever seen

shell void

i said that i have no problem with the neo at $500

pure garnet

i just read the dump files

civic reef

Is it as the name suggests

merry stirrup
#

somewhat

civic reef
#

All DIMMs are daisy chained together in terms of data

pure garnet
#

floppas being a giant nerd rn

merry stirrup
#

one gains signal integrity with 4 dimms, one loses it with 4 dimms

#

pretty sure its t top that likes 4 dimms than 2, and daisy chain only likes 2

#

yes

pure garnet
#

do dummy sticks affect signal integrity in t topology

merry stirrup
#

fuck

#

yknow kyo thats honestly a good question

#

uhhh i think not

wise bear

yeah I don't think they're even on the data lanes

just the spi interface

merry stirrup

yeah so youd still get reflections

haughty monolith

# merry stirrup

I’m aware daisy chain is worse than 1dpc but I was more so asking if it’s by a small or large margin with 2 sticks

merry stirrup
#

oc boards are 1dpc

civic reef
#

Because, well, DR RAM

cosmic gazelle
cosmic gazelle
#

okay

merry stirrup
#

i thought you were asking me the difference between 2 dimm daisy chain vs a 2 slot board

cosmic gazelle
#

no lol

merry stirrup
#

no reason to make 2 dimm performance worse for the broad majority

#

but yes most boards especially nowadays are daisy chain

pure garnet
#

yeah zen 6 is rumoured to only have the stronger imc on slots a2 b2 since that's what 90% of memory configs are on

merry stirrup
#

(because amd is cheap)

steel stream
#

real

civic reef
#

I assume most workstation boards are T-Top / mixed?

merry stirrup
#

likely doesnt matter because memory speed is low on them anwyays

#

so idk

pure garnet
#

and you usually fill all the slots

merry stirrup
#

so one would assume naturally t-top but likely its just whatever is cheaper to implement

#

and im a nerd but not that much of a nerd

never go full nerd.

merry stirrup

throw a dram ic into anything and i go feral fr

#

also the guy says theyre dummy dimms but theyre very much not

#

unless corsair changed their dummy dimm design

#

but those have caps and resistors and every pad filled

#

so those are prolly real sticks

steel stream
merry stirrup

yeah turns out people are basic bitches

I wish PCPP's price history went further back than 2 years

wanted to see how quickly it dropped after launch

merry stirrup

intel was walking over amd in the value segment then

year earlier for the same performance at the same cost

also was when amd got rid of their r3's which people were mega salty about back then (and still are)

so 10100 was able to roam freely

hahahahahaha

i forget about the xt skus

although 5900xt couldve been cool if it was priced and named properly (5950 non x)

mainly the first bit though

those skus don't count

I swear these fuckin' companies try to make part naming not make sense

Who even pays for premium when you have ad block

many people, myself included. best thing ever.

okay so what you do with premium

edgy laurel
#

don't get ads on any device and don't have to fuck around with shitty extensions that break playback half the time

the only reason I would buy it is bec YT runs kinda slow with ad blockers

I think you can download them, yes. I still haven't found a reason to do that though

fringe vigil

I do for edits but yh

I cancelled premium at some point but have considered resubscribing because of the higher bitrate options

fringe vigil
#

I use other apps for that but if it’s fast on premium then why not

civic reef
#

For the benefits I can get, like higher Bitrate 1080p, it's honestly worth it

#

Especially helpful when watching on a 1440p monitor

edgy laurel
#

Ill take the higher bitrate, but I already have RTX VSR upscaling anything to 4K anyway

civic reef
#

The 1080p already looks a little worse for wear, so getting decent bitrate is great

civic reef
#

Visual Scaling..
Video Scaling..
Errrr

I haven’t had to do an adblock workaround on youtube for like a year and a half

idk what you guys are dealing with

Higher bitrate? Is that for every video??

Oh Video Super Resolution

upscaling doesn't help if the video looks garbage already at its original resolution

I didn't realize it was added to Turing so thats neat

civic reef

Well tbf, DLSS 4.5 is compatible with Turing, so I'd assume something like this would be supported

edgy laurel
#

FWIW, its really only certified to work in Chromium based browsers. Chrome and Edge, primarily. Others may have workarounds but I've never bothered to look.

#

I also use MPC-HC for local video playback and it has a setting to trigger VSR upscaling too, which is neat.

OH OH @edgy laurel
I could take advantage of RTX VSR by placing an RTX 2060 or 3050 in the secondary PCIe slot of the Aurora R7 Z370

#

Both PCIe x16 slots are wired at x8 anyways, so I am not losing any performance

#

Connect both cards to an HDMI / DP hub, with one output to a primary monitor

edgy laurel
#

You could. Do you plan to use a 4K screen? Thats where its really beneficial, considering there still so many YT channels that upload in 1080p

civic reef
#

If I want to watch videos or such, I can switch output

edgy laurel
#

Ok. Frankly I have no idea how beneficial it would be at that point

civic reef
#

The 4K upscaling will be beneficial on the P53 that has a 4K screen in it

pure garnet
#

isn’t the 2060 roughly equivalent to a 1080 non ti

civic reef
pure garnet
#

so just rock the 2060 then

I have an RX 5700 XT,,,,

It's equivalent to iirc a 2070

sell both of those and get a new rtx card fr
