[turbid locust]

no wonder your shit blows up every 3 months

[pure garnet]

because i didn't cable manage anything

[merry stirrup]

just put it in the freezer for 20m

[pure garnet]

i pull the aio out to shove it on the ac for runs

[sharp heart]

😭 is it staying in place with hopes and prayers???

[shell void]

yeh ive got it in the freezer portion of my mini fridge and i maxed it out

[turbid locust]

I mean if you don’t move the pc it stays there lol

[pure garnet]

it's a fan not a steam engine

it's not going anywhere

[turbid locust]

Many of us run ram fans like that

[sharp heart]

honestly i would be more scared of randomly bumping into something and then hearing the fan snag on something

[edgy laurel]

whats the worst that can happen

[turbid locust]

literally it’s a plastic fan lol

[edgy laurel]

can stop it with a finger

[sharp heart]

okay? and my heart is fragile and i cannot handle the jumpscare

[merry stirrup]

💀😭

[merry stirrup]

peak ram fans

[pure garnet]

i wish i had a mount like bz does

[merry stirrup]

same

[turbid locust]

I’ve tried shit doesn’t work idk

like I bought the extended standoffs and all

[pure garnet]

what game should i torture the 6700 xt with today

[turbid locust]

Minecraft shaders

[merry stirrup]

run old drivers and blow it up with no power limit

6650xt capable of like 400w was an interesting experiment

[pure garnet]

only if you buy it for fair market value after

[merry stirrup]

sounds cringe

[pure garnet]

i think this might be a sign

[merry stirrup]

if you personally deliver it sure

[pure garnet]

i have just enough space

[frank cypress]

faxxxx

[pure garnet]

shit looking like a chromebook

[turbid locust]

This stresses me out

There’s random things we all like tweak out over

I tweak out when my C drive is more than like 75% full

[merry stirrup]

poor thing

[merry stirrup]

yeah mines cables at my desk

it really bothers me i won’t lie

[turbid locust]

My desk is a mess rn

[merry stirrup]

i manage everything as well as i can if it’s visible

[turbid locust]

whole test bench and tools and parts on it rn

[merry stirrup]

i get actively stressed out and start tweaking

[turbid locust]

My desk is also my work bench so like

[merry stirrup]

yeah i’m trying to change that for me

i got another desk i just need to get rid of a shelf and then im chillin

[pure garnet]

the short part of my l desk is my workspace

[merry stirrup]

your projects are second rate citizens fr

[turbid locust]

I’m gonna move everything that isn’t my actual setup to a different room eventually I just haven’t had time

I’m gonna have a whole room dedicated to the bench, 3D Printers, etc

Eventually a solder station I’m sure

[merry stirrup]

yippie yippie

[turbid locust]

@pure garnet just remembered the unrated match we played last night

I thought it was a dream

[pure garnet]

“they giving out diamond 1 to anyone nowadays” - omen who admits to criminal activities

[turbid locust]

fr

[civic reef]

@merry stirrup I discussed this with Kyoko, Mac, and the others earlier, but I want to fill in in because I find it a little funny

Here's the comedic gist of it though: Can't believe that buying a 7800X3D is the financially better option

[turbid locust]

the chamber was super cringe too tho ngl

[civic reef]

Do you want to learn more or is this enough

[pure garnet]

they all were

[civic reef]

Discussion itself is done and this is really just the after-action report

[pure garnet]

the last swift play was the only game with normal people

[turbid locust]

like rank checking me in an unrated and then trying your absolute hardest to frag over me to “prove I’m better than a diamond” is so cringy

[pure garnet]

the other one was okay but still weird

[turbid locust]

I tried for one singular round

[merry stirrup]

i saw that

[civic reef]

Oh

[merry stirrup]

it was silly

[civic reef]

Fair, the convo extended on a bit

[civic reef]

Yeah lol
There's my usual stupidity, then being taught something new, and then the hardware discussion

The bread & butter was that I could get away with 4800 CL40 by brute forcing my way with 96MB of L3 cache

And I get two extra cores as a bonus!

[cosmic gazelle]

why ayyymd no make mini itx am3

sad

[buoyant hedge]

That's not AMD, that's the individual motherboard companies.

[shell void]

because am3 big poopoo stinky 👍

[buoyant hedge]

Intel was the only one with first-party motherboards afaik (excluding weird NVIDIA motherboards).

[cosmic gazelle]

ya but apparently tuning an fx 6300 can increase gaming framerate by like 50% and that sounds fun

@topaz veldt are the two builds you have in sugo 17s

i sorted by 360mm and volume and it was the smallest

[edgy laurel]

the "two" builds he has lmao

[civic reef]

Oh look I could get this for $50 if I wanted to make my i7 4770 last longer

[cosmic gazelle]

the two builds that look like that

[edgy laurel]

he's never talked about that Silverstone case so i'm 99.9% certain he doesn't have one

[civic reef]

Allegedly supports TPM 2.0 too, so I can theoretically boot up BF6

[cosmic gazelle]

isn’t snail the one with the two identical builds

[topaz veldt]

wot

[edgy laurel]

O11's

[buoyant hedge]

That's still worse than a stock 3770K though. (the 3770K is about 75% stronger in single-core and 70% stronger in MC), which is why FX was a failure for the most part. Which is why ITX boards were never made because there was 0 demand.

[cosmic gazelle]

oh i thought this was your case mb

[topaz veldt]

I have an SFF build, its in an Ncase M3 Grater

[cosmic gazelle]

that silverstone case is the smallest tower that will fit a 360mm so i thought that was the one

[topaz veldt]

yeah no i am running a 280

[shell void]

Ultra 7 270K The Great Redeemer

this is the best consumer hardware reveal video that we've had in a long time https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7QmVBH6CQ24

no slop at all

[topaz veldt]

That Sugo 17 vs NCase m3

[pure garnet]

the 6700xt is not enjoying 4k rt

[topaz veldt]

lol

[cosmic gazelle]

honestly not that much bigger for a 360 tbh

[cosmic gazelle]

12

[topaz veldt]

doesn't seem bigger but on a desk its like 3" longer

its 100mm longer

[cosmic gazelle]

ya if you’re going sff you can probably get away with a high quality 280 anyways

[topaz veldt]

yeah i don't have too mcuh issue with the 280mm

[cosmic gazelle]

i have my 9800 under a shitty last gen 280 and its fine

i wish i had a nice 360 but whatever

[topaz veldt]

mine is a 9950X3D with BQ 280mm

[cosmic gazelle]

i have an nzxt kraken from like 2021 that got tortured with insane temps for like years

because i was stupid

[reef lance]

New wallpaper

[shell void]

i dont really understand how it works either, but it seems cool

[topaz veldt]

software is the new hardware

[merry stirrup]

oh balls thats pretty good

wow this video was actually great

"world class memory controller" rahhhhh

[shell void]

i was surprised at how straight forward it is

just a genuinely good consumer hardware reveal video with no fluff

[merry stirrup]

yeah

great vid, excited for ibt

[shell void]

tarkov needs IBOT xd

[merry stirrup]

more than likely yeah

tarkov doesnt really gain with memory speed or d2d so iid assume its bsgs fault and not intels lol

[cosmic gazelle]

more likely unity limitation

imo unity was never meant to do the things tarkov attempts to do

also, the slightly deceptive g skill rma has been shipped so we shall see if i get a free $200 kit of ram in a week

[turbid locust]

lol GN tested performance on Bazzite and the 9070XT beats the 5090 in Starfield

[merry stirrup]

nvidia linux drivers do it again

[turbid locust]

shits peak

[cosmic gazelle]

is this steam and proton?

[edgy laurel]

man I haven't watched a GN video in months

[next ginkgo]

ngl you're right

[edgy laurel]

then again I haven't watched a HUB video in months either

or really any PC hardware channel

[next ginkgo]

I'm so fatigued with like, dramatic reporting

I just want something for entertainment man

I ended up watching older ltt videos

And Ryan Higa

[edgy laurel]

this. and yeah, dumb LTT stuff I find more entertaining half the time lol

[merry stirrup]

@civic reef lol

found homies alienware on fbm

[steel stream]

wdym you dont wanna listen to snark snark snarkity snark for an hour?

[edgy laurel]

or two

[steel stream]

even better

[merry stirrup]

strange

[edgy laurel]

LLM's on Volta

wonder how that'll go

[merry stirrup]

yeah volta would suck at that id imagine

[edgy laurel]

how would you even cool that lmao

if its just a bare SXM module

[merry stirrup]

i assume theres some flow through thing you can attach to it

[lyric citrus]

hey guys when i use irm on cmd it says its not recognized internal or external command whats something else i can use?

[merry stirrup]

it is indeed

[steel stream]

nice big die though

[merry stirrup]

i have a 1080ti to play wwith

[civic reef]

Didn't know the R7 had an RX 570 option

Odd

[steel stream]

ewaste 🥀

[merry stirrup]

well considering the fans on it sound like your moms vibrator yeah

[edgy laurel]

never heard of it 30 seconds ago. googled it, says its a powershell command

so use powershell

[merry stirrup]

poor thing is getting cooked

[turbid locust]

It’s raining sideways

[young void]

XD

[merry stirrup]

i offered the owner my quadro rtx 4k as a trade and bro said no and im gonna be real idk why

[steel stream]

you sound older than expected tbh

[civic reef]

Not meant as an insult, but you sound I like expected you to

[edgy laurel]

yo i heard the northern midwest has had some fun storms

[steel stream]

oh yeah

[merry stirrup]

i kinda wanted a 1080ti

[civic reef]

The sort of person to be working in IT / your general field

[merry stirrup]

but its fine i dont want it that bad i was just gonna blow it up

[steel stream]

I would send a video or something but i dont wanna show outside my apartment

[merry stirrup]

rainbolt

[civic reef]

The voice of someone I would trust with my life in terms of tech support lmao

[merry stirrup]

dont show bedrock bro

[edgy laurel]

i just got a severe thunderstorm warning

[shell void]

it's too late bro i fingerprinted you and built a profile years ago

[turbid locust]

I sound 45, apparently

[shell void]

[steel stream]

fuckkkkkkkkkkk

[turbid locust]

I still don’t understand but

[merry stirrup]

i sound floppin

[steel stream]

i love big storms so enjoy

[steel stream]

it's the liver damage

[turbid locust]

I guess bro

[shell void]

wait @steel stream @hoary hatch i have just realized something

now that iphone chip macbooks are real it's possible that we'll see macbooks with intel foundry chips in a couple years

since intel could be making some of apple's phone socs

[edgy laurel]

and we come full circle

[merry stirrup]

power pc when

[shell void]

wish me luck

[turbid locust]

why

[steel stream]

🙏

[pure garnet]

don’t wanna get out of bed

[shell void]

itll be fine that game probably has like 5fov aim smoothing

[turbid locust]

it’s basically pc valorant but with aim assist

[shell void]

[pure garnet]

my speakers sound like frogs

[turbid locust]

fire

[steel stream]

ribbit?

[pure garnet]

i have to leave my pc on for an hour because i’m scared it won’t turn on before raids

[steel stream]

what if it blows up

[pure garnet]

if the riser dies then i just don’t have a pc till friday i guess

or i can use the 6700xt mpower build for val

[steel stream]

damn

[edgy laurel]

how are people this incompetent https://www.reddit.com/r/Monitors/comments/1rr7r7b/cleaned_oled_with_microfiber_and_distilled_looks/

[pure garnet]

4 dualists first game on @turbid locust

[steel stream]

my old msi looks like this because of my brother

[edgy laurel]

how

[steel stream]

idk what he did

but that's why qd oled sucks

it's really not bad while gaming, unless you have full dark scenes, but hurts me inside

[merry stirrup]

lol op spilled milk on it

moron

[steel stream]

https://tenor.com/view/right-to-jail-right-away-fred-armisen-parks-and-rec-right-to-jail-jail-gif-1866630920936314540

[edgy laurel]

but like... do people just not have life skills? Like, get a clean section of the cloth with fresh water and go again

[steel stream]

i will confirm that QD-OLED is really sensitive to cleaning

[merry stirrup]

apparently you should use 70% ethanol according to gigabyte

[edgy laurel]

ok fair, you win on that one warship

[merry stirrup]

may try that

[steel stream]

you gotta baby it a bit

[merry stirrup]

yeah i havent cleaned mine yet cause im scared

(and dont have distilled)

the microfiber it came with is still in its bag

[steel stream]

it's like an exotic plant, one wrong thing and it's toast

[edgy laurel]

ngl my method has just been touch my screen as little as possible

[merry stirrup]

yeah

im probably not going to clean it until my spit marks are prominent lol

[steel stream]

i just use a dust buster occasionally, or distilled water if i need to

[edgy laurel]

My C2 is how many years old? I've cleaned it with a cloth and water once

[steel stream]

i made sure to tell my roommates the G5 is hands off

[edgy laurel]

otherwise it gets a swiffer feather duster lightly across it every week

[merry stirrup]

my room is shockingly not that dusty

[steel stream]

maintaing a 65" qd-oled would be terrible

[edgy laurel]

this is actually the time of year where I'll get sun glare on it and actually notice it being dirty so i might clean it soon

[merry stirrup]

kyokos a750 has been sitting in the same spot for weeks and there isnt much on it

[steel stream]

my apt is quite dusty sadly

[edgy laurel]

I hate dust. I don't even have carpet and the stuff is never ending

[merry stirrup]

i think when i get a job its time for a new oled

i kind of regret the asrock one and i suspect their protections suck

[steel stream]

join the c series family brother

[merry stirrup]

or metro is just really weird

but i swear in games like metro i can see pretty diabolical lines i presume from burnin

[edgy laurel]

brother floppa needs a bigger desk me thinks

[steel stream]

he can just lean back

[merry stirrup]

lemme see if i can get a photo

[edgy laurel]

https://klipy.com/gifs/rockaway-gangstas

[merry stirrup]

no the tv wouldnt fit i need a bigger desk lol

[steel stream]

if c series doesn't work, tandem oled monitor is fine i guess

[merry stirrup]

dont think i want larger than 32 myself

[edgy laurel]

the greatness of C series cannot be understated

[merry stirrup]

i like my b5

in 120hz mode its surely the most responsive tv ive ever felt

[edgy laurel]

oh right, well yeah you're basically there

B5 in a dark room is like the same thing most of the time

[merry stirrup]

aside from my b5's lut issue yeah

[edgy laurel]

yeah these modern TV's have basically no notable input latency, especially in the right mode

[steel stream]

wait when did you get a b5

[merry stirrup]

a while ago for 100$

[steel stream]

damn

48"?

[merry stirrup]

lol

its a 65 homie

[edgy laurel]

wait is this the one you bought a while ago and ended up being kinda wrecked? i didn't realize that was a B5

[steel stream]

that's a damn good deal, good on you man

[merry stirrup]

yeah

[edgy laurel]

i thought it was older than CX?

[merry stirrup]

pretty sure we figured out that its a b5

[edgy laurel]

cause B5 is a 2025 model

[merry stirrup]

oh ok then no im mistaken

[edgy laurel]

ohhh ok

[merry stirrup]

b4 maybe? idk

i dont know the models so a losing game for me

it is an oled tv

[steel stream]

that's all that matters

[edgy laurel]

xX: 2020, x1: 2021, x2: 2022, etc..

before 2020 i have no idea, can't keep that straight

[merry stirrup]

ive been dailying my cpu at 5.5ghz and i havent been checking temps

i feel like that may have been a bad decision

[edgy laurel]

let er eat

[merry stirrup]

its just a little concerning cause i cant see temp/watts

like that actual equation not both

my cpu has power reporting basically disabled cause asrock cant make a competent uefi

[steel stream]

🐐 rocjk

[edgy laurel]

watch it

[steel stream]

was there a new asrock development i missed out on?

[merry stirrup]

ok im quite confident what i thought was burnin is just metro being weird

wonder if i can screen shot it then lol

[merry stirrup]

no they just havent been great on my ocf

clocking cpu on an asrock intel board is basically science

stock its more than fine

but setting even 1 ratio above stock causes the cpu to perform worse

and do some weird type of throttling

[steel stream]

ah got it

[merry stirrup]

but yeah a yc load now says its drawing 24w

[steel stream]

what if you just have the most efficient 265K known to man

[merry stirrup]

we'll go with no

[steel stream]

i think i remember you talking about this once before though, super weird problem

[merry stirrup]

yeah and sadly wrecking power reporting is the only way ive found that fixes it

[steel stream]

damn

[merry stirrup]

and since i wreck power reporting

that by extension wrecks any hope for an efficient idle

cause the cpu thinks its always drawing less than 30w so it just clocks up all the fucking itme

im sure its closer to a 60w idle

[steel stream]

hope you have cheap power

[merry stirrup]

i do its just arrrggh

i wouldve bought an apex over the ocf if i knew ocf core tuning was this bad

[steel stream]

do the chad move and rrun it stock with jedec

[merry stirrup]

id be fine loosing 200mhz ram if i could gain 400mhz cpu clock

[steel stream]

yeah

[merry stirrup]

idk maybe asrock will take their head out of their butt when plus officially launches

still nothing of use here

[steel stream]

yeah i haven't bothered to update bios for a hot minute now

[merry stirrup]

oh holy crap someone made asrock make an oc bios

thanks coolice for finally posting something useful

[steel stream]

damn lol

[merry stirrup]

time to flash this and be disappointed

[shell void]

oh my god it’s really real

5050 96bit 9GB using a neutered GB206 (5060Ti GPU)

[steel stream]

awesome

[shell void]

would’ve been cool to have a 5060Ti Super 12GB instead but cool beans nvidia

[merry stirrup]

flashing

[low sorrel]

@pallid marsh so I was driving a mini van and I hit the curb while parallel parking and my dad roasted me and was like here I'll show you how do it properly

Guess what he did

[shell void]

@pure garnet Dr Thunder is pretty good for a $1 2liter

[steel stream]

🤯

[shell void]

it’s a lot more cherry forward than Dr Pepper is, but it’s good in its own way

Dr P has more vanilla and spice

[merry stirrup]

equally surprised it got this far

[steel stream]

any soft drink i've had that advertises vanilla does not have enough vanilla

[merry stirrup]

the msi flash drive is the only usb i own that works in this board for flashback and i have to completely ignore the asrock instructions 😭

[civic reef]

Truly

[merry stirrup]

bought a 300$ edge and 100$ mpower to flash my ocf

[civic reef]

You should ignore ASRock in all aspects of your life, it's healthy for the soul

[shell void]

you need this

[civic reef]

Edge is that cheap?
Guess even Microsoft doesn't want it anymore /s

[merry stirrup]

is it haram to use my monitors usb hub

that’s where my keyboard is plugged in rn

[steel stream]

hmm. might give it a try, I had the cherry float coke and cherry and cream pepsi recently, not enough vanilla/cream. Pepsi was better with the cream flavor, but still not enough

[edgy laurel]

i just want this

[merry stirrup]

unfortunately the computer turns on

[shell void]

your need for cream is insatiable

[steel stream]

pause

[merry stirrup]

thought this would’ve been the one

[steel stream]

that sounds good

[edgy laurel]

in China, apparently

[steel stream]

i love the focus for this shot

the singular coke can on a table

[fringe vigil]

so lemonade

[edgy laurel]

no. coke w/ lemon

[merry stirrup]

have you guys seen the DLVR menu in the ocf? i’m quite positive you haven’t seen a slower bios

[shell void]

this is either great or really disappointing

is it one of those sodas that barely have a flavor?

[steel stream]

i have a yuzu candle, it's nice

[edgy laurel]

oh its fantastic. so light, so refreshing. and yuzu flavor is all natural

[shell void]

if you offer me lacroix then im going to assume that you hate me

[edgy laurel]

its such a nice change from the normal citrus flavors we have

[steel stream]

fruit fart water

[edgy laurel]

but where I get it its nearly $4 a can

[steel stream]

LaCroix might just be an old people thing

[edgy laurel]

man I typed "soda can" in my google images. i'm getting some really old bangers

[pure garnet]

tc1 type video

[shell void]

dear god that's armed robbery

[merry stirrup]

straight garbage

[edgy laurel]

yeah its a once in a while kinda thing

[edgy laurel]

that brand has a few interesting flavors. I bought this one and regreted it.

i hope you like drinking basil

i don't know what I was expecting

[steel stream]

ok I would fuck with this heavy

[shell void]

you were probably hoping that it would be more mango than basil xd

[merry stirrup]

i havent even done anything yet how have i hit pl1 10% of hte time

[steel stream]

i had lemon, sea salt, and olive oil ice cream today, honestly pretty good

[shell void]

lemon and salt sounds good but why are you putting olive oil in my ice cream?

[edgy laurel]

i'd be down to try that. olive oil, like extra virgin stuff, sometimes its a bit overpowering

[steel stream]

idk a friend is in a cooking class and they did greek today and made that

[steel stream]

i didn't get any hint of olive oil tbh, it was pretty good

tasted like a lemonade cake or smth

[edgy laurel]

i dig anythign lemon, most of the time

[steel stream]

citrus flavors are just great

[edgy laurel]

yeah, its really just citrus thats almost always great

[steel stream]

i need to find some like lime ice cream

that would be nice

[civic reef]

Why would it be

[edgy laurel]

ugh i need to find this one

[merry stirrup]

idk that’s why i asked

[steel stream]

Im not a fan of carbonated drinks but these are really enticing me

can you order them online?

[edgy laurel]

yeah. expensive af https://us.somethingandnothing.co/collections/all

[merry stirrup]

idk what if i just go back to the oldest possible microcode in the bios

[steel stream]

maybe i just do the tasting pack and go from there

[edgy laurel]

the straight yuzu is a classic though

[shell void]

content

wild that this guy used to be a small wizard101 youtuber

[merry stirrup]

grew with him fr

[shell void]

oh joy hes microwaving a hotdog right next to his head

@topaz veldt i think he’s gone insane due to being blue balled by bartlett lake

[edgy laurel]

forgot to switch accounts

[edgy laurel]

btw @shell void they have a sample pack if curious

[merry stirrup]

bartlett would’ve been cool but i don’t understand the crazy hype

12 cores no compromise to using them in game besides the fact that you lost 16 other cores

[shell void]

oh you’re buying me one? thanks dood

[edgy laurel]

yeah, send your address right here

[merry stirrup]

16 pay at the door pizzas incoming

[steel stream]

just order a few anvils to his house

[merry stirrup]

akn you are in fact onto something

im going back to no cpu oc atp i dont think it was doing anything anyways

maybe when i buy the apex ill convince kyoko to let it take a detour to my home

& see my luck there

[pure garnet]

i mean if we just 1:1 swap boards then we just pay shipping each

[merry stirrup]

ladies and gentlemen, the computer no longer boots

[merry stirrup]

seems legit. let me blow my shit up in the apex before we do that then

[pure garnet]

if you drive to my house before next wednesday you can have my y40

since that’s when the trash gets picked up

[merry stirrup]

might find my ocf next to it before the trash gets taken this week

it would be hilarious if on your ocf i peeled the memory oc shield off before giving it to my wife at jedec

[pure garnet]

i would not care

[merry stirrup]

i know i just wanna see whats under there

[pure garnet]

probably just pcb

[merry stirrup]

likely

[pure garnet]

assrock

[merry stirrup]

my ocf is hanging on post codes i’ve never even seen before

wtf is 61

[steel stream]

6? 1?

no that's not the joke

[merry stirrup]

bro if i saw my cpu hang on 67 im throwing it away

[steel stream]

I think i would just have a heart attack at my desk and call it quits

[merry stirrup]

now it’s hanging on 62 💀😭

it’s gonna count up to 67 see you in 5 more attempts

[devout ridge]

i forget just how bad 720p video is

actually it's 480p lol

[merry stirrup]

RTX VSR

[devout ridge]

480p at 27in is painful

[edgy laurel]

i was in a meeting today on teams. someone older than me that I would have never expected to did the hand motion. was describing something. stopped and said quickly "sorry about the 6-7" then continued

a couple of us just lost it.. on mute

[devout ridge]

How do i use that on a youtube video

[merry stirrup]

you turn it on??

[devout ridge]

through the nvidia app?

[merry stirrup]

yes

[edgy laurel]

AFAIK, Chromium based browsers only but i don't really know

[devout ridge]

Oh wow, it does genuinely just work

[merry stirrup]

yes

[devout ridge]

Better than nothing, but starting at 480p will always be ugly

[edgy laurel]

if you turn on the indicator you can tell when its on.

[devout ridge]

Yeah i have the indicator on

[merry stirrup]

indicator is goated

i love leaving useless static elements on my oled

while also not wanting my taskbar on

[edgy laurel]

its a must for 4K with so many people uploading in 1080p still

[devout ridge]

I'm watching cabaret (definitely legal copy), and it's only available in 480p

[edgy laurel]

so if you're using MPC-HC (and maybe VLC) you can use it for local video as well

[devout ridge]

There's some significant artifacting, but still better than native 480p

[edgy laurel]

so I have it set to upscale anything less than or equal to 1440p

[devout ridge]

The main problem is it isn't just 480p, it's also quite low bitrate

[edgy laurel]

yeah there is only so much that can be done

[devout ridge]

Yeah, still better than native, so much appreciated

[edgy laurel]

in realtime at least

yeah VSR is one of the killer features that lock me to Nvidia

[devout ridge]

Cabaret is also a very literally dark show, so it doesn't use the full range of brightness very much

even with VSR on and two monitors going, my GPU is sipping power at 20w

[edgy laurel]

so we've played with that a bunch

the higher the resolution of the input video, the more power it uses

[topaz veldt]

this is so stupid

[devout ridge]

Makes sense, there's more to work with

[edgy laurel]

1440p60 up to 4K on max quality in the settings, 300W+ on my 4090

[merry stirrup]

lmao

[merry stirrup]

the fuck is this

[devout ridge]

CPU block with a screen

[edgy laurel]

what am I looking at, a screen on a pivot on top of a waterblock?

[merry stirrup]

is that a screen?

[merry stirrup]

wack

[devout ridge]

Precisely

[topaz veldt]

lol yes

[edgy laurel]

ugh

[merry stirrup]

yeah bro that’s for split screen gaming

[topaz veldt]

i’m loving this push from intel to stop using four dimms

“here bro fine take the 128GB dimms if you really need 256GB (you don’t)”

[merry stirrup]

intel did this with d4 on z390 i’m pretty sure too

[shell void]

have you played with 32GB 4R DDR4?

wait yeah didnt your girlfriend's pc have 2x32GB?

with the r5 5500

[merry stirrup]

yeah

[merry stirrup]

idk if amd supports 4r, it’s probably 2r 16 gbit

i’m talking qr dimms

[shell void]

oh i thought that all 32GB D4 UDIMMs were quad rank

[merry stirrup]

i don’t think so hold on

hmm maybe

corsair does say the kit only works on z390 and above

so then yes i have

clocks more than fine 👍

[shell void]

the goated little monolithic ryzen apu didnt give a singular damn that they were quad rank

[merry stirrup]

currently at 4000 in her board but i got 4400 to post

and it would’ve been stable but i didn’t care

same board does at least 5200 with rev e in 1r but also requires a lot of termination fuckery

4800 in all reality is probably possible on her kit and board it’s just not worth it

[shell void]

64GB 4K flat sounds good to me

[merry stirrup]

4400 is the max the board will post with auto terms period

across 2 samples of the board

[merry stirrup]

yeah it has been stable i think 2 years now so i mean cant complain about nothing

[devout ridge]

Assuming i had the video file, could i do better than realtime upscaling with VSR?

[turbid locust]

why is every video on Linux gaming someone on a Zen 2 era machine

like every damn one of them are on Zen 3 or older lmfao

[low sorrel]

@topaz veldt @steel stream bro I'm so mad I just had the clip of my life tried to save a duo from 2 teams of 2 that were teamed up against them. The team extracting got out, my teammate died after we knocked 2 of them but none of them were finished. I ran away after my shield broke because i forgot to repair it. All 4 of them are now chasing my ass across the map and so is a rocketeer I managed to hide in the basement of a buliding and the rocketeer started to shoot them so they ran away. I hide for like 5 minutes and then I go to the extract to try and leave only for those 4 and another team be fighting. I kill one of the 4 before they all turn around and chase meafter finishing the other team and the rocketeer lights my ass UP again. I burn through all my meds from getting shot and blown up by the time I reach raiders refuge I have a sliver of health and I pull off an masterclass of an escape by throwing smokes in one direction and then hiding mid way through the ladder in raiders refuge.

and this is what my clipping software showed...

[nimble pike]

Oh wow, I just looked at storage prices. Guess I'm going hard drive.

[analog scroll]

As additional storage or as OS drive?

[nimble pike]

Additional storage

[analog scroll]

either way that's pretty valid tbh

[analog scroll]

Oh yeah absolutely

I run 240GB SSD and 1TB HDD in my gaming system and it's great

games on the HDD aren't even that slow

[nimble pike]

I'm trying to get into video editing...

I'm looking at... like 4TB or more

[analog scroll]

Ah you would need quite a bit of space for that

HDDs are good for storing tons of stuff

[nimble pike]

Looks like a NAS will NOT be happening this year.

[cosmic gazelle]

really depends on the hdd

i have a hitachi true cacheless drive and a wd black with 64mb of cache

games load fine on the wd and literally sometimes become unresponsive because of how slow the hitachi is

[frank zealot]

Not with current storage shortages

[cosmic gazelle]

i mean, crappy 4tb drives are really not that expensive to run in raid 10

[low sorrel]

probably above zero

[cosmic gazelle]

[foggy warren]

hii

is it possible to fix this fan?

[edgy laurel]

maybe. whats wrong with it?

[foggy warren]

i was replacing something and accidentally snapped the cable

[edgy laurel]

can't really see whats wrong but cables are easy to splice back together with some solder and heatshrink

[edgy laurel]

well, if there is wire available on the fan side, easy splice

if there isn't, and you dont have the ability or tools to solder, probably not

[foggy warren]

its available but i dont know how to solder

sooo yeah

[edgy laurel]

i mean there is always the strip both sides, twist together and cover in electrical tape option.

about all that can be said based on that picture

[livid flame]

No need to solder if you have a blowtorch

Although tbh the fan doesn’t look like it does much

[shell void]

niche, but amazon has an asus 5090 astral (BTF connector version) for $3650 right now

that’s a good price in the current market, you usually get stuck with a zotac solid or pny or msi ventus for $3600

of course you’ll need an asus BTF motherboard which is why it’s niche

[livid flame]

Thinking about 5090s

Is the lightning z basically a 5090ti?

[shell void]

naw the real 5090Ti would have a less neutered gpu core like the rtx pro 6000 blackwell

5090 is missing quite a few SMs, ROPs, and a quarter of its L2 cache

[livid flame]

Mmm 5090super then

[shell void]

5090 super duper mega ultra max ti

[livid flame]

I love the concept of a lightning z

Nvidia/msi are offering 5090 owners another 5090 to overclock. It’s genius

And at 2.5x the price of their existing 5090. Pure genius

anyone here got little clue about wordpress?

[fervent chasm]

What about it

[sharp robin]

i want to create and run a marketplace

is wordpress a good place to

[fervent chasm]

Shopify is probably better for a marketplace, it’s easier*

[sharp robin]

but website dev and all?

im not into coding and all

[fervent chasm]

Pretty sure Wordpress is more technical than Shopify, I’d look up tutorials on both

See which one looks best for you

And maybe squarespace but I’ve never used it

[merry stirrup]

so we didn’t see this in the thingy

but they were testing d5 10266 @shell void

that’s insane. that has to be g2 if games

[livid flame]

I still want this video

Christ 171% additional speed over AM5 sweet spot to compete

So is Intel saying you have to spend a stupid amount on ddr5 or be lucky AND be good enough to overclock your ram for good gaming performance on its platform?

[civic reef]

G2?

Also oh my days 10266

They're now running MHz speeds that are fairly higher than JEDEC minimums

4800 MT/s vs 5133 MHz

I assume timings aren't too tight? Around the mark of 36-40?

[livid flame]

Intel - have a good cpu for 200. Also Intel - you need ram that costs 1000+ for it to be a good cpu.

[civic reef]

I don't think it's the case? You can probably still get fair improvements over AM5 equivalents with stuff like 6000 CL30

[livid flame]

Will be interesting to see how it tests

I mean if it’s like a 10% difference, heck even 5% difference going to much faster ram. There’s no point dead ending into that platform and just wait for the new one

The prices I’ve seen Intel selling at a loss. So it’s probably better they just skipped the refresh unless they’ll be getting more US government money to acquire more private loans to keep going

[civic reef]

The Intel selling at a loss thing I've seen firsthand
ARC B580s are still going for around $289-$300 depending on where you look

They genuinely aren't making any money off of these

[civic reef]

Maybe it's better they skip it temporary

Release Nova Lake, make some profits, then release the refresh for anyone still on 1851

WAIT wtf??? I just checked the prices on the 270K, and it's at an MSRP of $299????

It's literally Ultra 9 285K performance for $300???

How far you can go, is luck just like any OC, but how far you actually go is pure skill/knowledge

[merry stirrup]

i mean, no

you buy a chip that does high freq, it does high freq

i dont think theres slow hynix a die out there ignoring rating

even my 4800 greenies did 8600

im talking like broad oc range yeah if you want some golden sample shit youll need some luck

[wraith steeple]

[devout ridge]

i mean you can obviously buy differently binned kits, like with any silicon, but within a bin there's some natural variance

[merry stirrup]

of course but im not talking about that for the most part

if you want golden sample shit or stuff that is mostly unheard of yeah you will be spending money and time

but for most people if you want 8K+ ram just go buy a/m die and profit

[merry stirrup]

if refresh gets higher quality IMC on avg i may just have to bite

[devout ridge]

and impressed by your collection of fittings

[merry stirrup]

also helps that the CPU i have can probably be resold for like 2/3 oof the price

[civic reef]

Oh

[merry stirrup]

idk actually that may have been gigabytes testing and not intel

[wraith steeple]

I do have an alarming amount of Black Sparkle fittings. It's been a go-to in the household for years

[merry stirrup]

if its gigas testing for their new 1dpc thats cheap it could be g4

if its g4 its not impressive, my ocf does 11k on ambient

[brisk jolt]

im gonna bite onto a z890i 270k just for it to end up in a sub4L case

i have finally found where to get a z890i nova

[wraith steeple]

I did do 16mm PMMA for a bit, but switched to 14mm and haven't looked back

[merry stirrup]

z890 force looks great btw

5 nvme slots

amazing for a micro atx board

all x4 too so they did it right

i assume the 2 with heatsinks are g5

ah nah the one closest to the ram is g4

so its not quite as cool as my ocf

[livid flame]

Exactly why I think skipping it could be better financially for them. However I can see they want to put confidence back into the consumer base for Intel CPUs

[shell void]

i’m sure it is

the refresh cpus are identical physically so i dont know how they could jump from 9000 to 10266 in g2

[shell void]

hopefully this is cheap

[civic reef]

Oh that's something I didn't think of
Providing cheap, little profit chips that match their previous highest end chip - whilst not even being in the same tier - to win back some trust

Trust & confidence are more valuable than short-term profits, so I see why they released the 200 series refresh first

[merry stirrup]

12th gen and 13th gen are identical arches

[civic reef]

Get some rep points up, get people excited / hyped for Ultra 400 and make people more confident in their purchase

[merry stirrup]

only thing that changed is yield

its happened before

[civic reef]

OH BTW Floppa

Guess what

Work may continue even during the war rn, so I have a head-start to save money for the projects

Though I am unsure if I should start with the Aurora project or general AM5 upgrade

Aurora is cheaper yes, but AM5 yields more immediate gains (even though it's more expensive)

[merry stirrup]

am5 is realistically the move so

do that

[brisk jolt]

am5 is better

[shell void]

they couldn’t launch nova lake right now even if they wanted to because they’re waiting on TSMC

the N2 process at Fab 22 isn’t going into high volume production until later this year

the flagship arrow lake cpu being cheaper than 32GB of ddr5 is insanity

[civic reef]

Okey dokey

Thankfully my current system is able to handle it, case is full ATX afterall LOL

Only worry is the PSU

MSI MAG A550BN, verified C on SPL

I can set a hard power limit of like.. Err.. 100W if need be

My current i7 has a TDP of 84W, and I don't remember seeing it pull more than that

The power supply will be replaced anyway though, ofcourse

[merry stirrup]

more than fine

[merry stirrup]

am5 will realistically draw less than that - also old intel cpus include the integrated for whatever reason in the tdp

[civic reef]

Oh okay

Wait.. So the 84W is the pull + the iGPU?

[merry stirrup]

probably a 65w cpu and then rest to igpu

yeah

[civic reef]

Huh, why do I remember seeing 84W in OCCT extreme

Probably imagining things if I had to guess

[merry stirrup]

i mean if you don’t have the igpu enabled the cpu can take its power

they are on the same slab of silicon so

[civic reef]

I don't remember having it disabled

[merry stirrup]

don’t you have a dGPU?

[shell void]

9600x and 9700x are 88W max by default

[civic reef]

Yeah
It's disabled by default if a dGPU is in the system?

[merry stirrup]

generally

[civic reef]

Huh
Is there a way to make it act like a laptop
iGPU for low intensity situations

[devout ridge]

so pretty

[livid flame]

It is a weird world we live in.

Probably cheaper than 32gb ddr4 too

And if so that’s insane

[civic reef]

By default as in absolute hard limit?
Huh, would think AMD would give their Ryzen 7s a higher TDP by default

[merry stirrup]

useles son a desktop and generally slower especially if youre using the gpu for display output

[civic reef]

It's mostly for power efficiency, and if I ever need to turn my PC on at night when government electricity isn't on

Having a 20W iGPU running most of what I need would be great
Could probably be tuned where turning on selected programs automatically enables the dGPU

[edgy laurel]

There is the option to passthrough the dGPU through the iGPU then use Windows built in settings to selecting which GPU to use per executable.

However I'd be hard pressed to think of a more overly complicated and issue prone way to go about things.

[reef lance]

https://tenor.com/view/pairing-debugging-legends-of-tomorrow-zari-tarazi-problem-solved-gif-17508062

[merry stirrup]

the issue is that your dGPU remains on

if you want to use your pc at night just take out the dgpu or something

[edgy laurel]

what

[merry stirrup]

or when you get a new pc try to get another psu for your haswell setup to use

[merry stirrup]

if power is a genuine concern to where using the pc at night is a problem at all, using the igpu primarily while still outputting throught the dGPU is a considerable amount of power

hes got a 5700XT or something, they idle at like 30-40w iirc, basically an entire dgpuless computer

[edgy laurel]

I'm just confused about the whole idea of moving a GPU in and out of a computer every day

thats beyond insanity

[merry stirrup]

well no shit but not being able to use the pc at night is also insanity lol

if using the pc then and there is a requirement i dont see the issue with that, hes wording it like its not an every day thing

[livid flame]

I have just been given AI training dates by work… like… do I go to this or do I feign injury

[gilded plaza]

I mean you can also just enable pcie power saving in bios and disable the driver in device manager

It's not as efficient as physically removing it, but it's pretty close

[merry stirrup]

if that works well enough then that works

[gilded plaza]

Pcie slots or at least consumer ones are not designed for numerous insertions

[merry stirrup]

i dont think slotting a gpu in and out of a slot once a month is going to be a problem

[gilded plaza]

Do the training, and then proceed to not use it

[gilded plaza]

Oh you said at night so I figured every day

[merry stirrup]

original wording here

"if i ever need to turn my pc on at night"

[gilded plaza]

Hmm

[merry stirrup]

assuming that means its a rarity

[gilded plaza]

Well like I said, enable pcie power saving if available and disable driver

GPU will eventually enter an idle mode

[merry stirrup]

should be its a modern-ish computer thing

dont think haswell lacked ASPM

[gilded plaza]

Haswell is what 4th gen?

[merry stirrup]

yeah

pretty sure even 2nd gen had ASPM, so

[gilded plaza]

It always goes back to haswell lol

[merry stirrup]

earliest genuinely usable processor generation rn, avx2

[gilded plaza]

I even have a haswell system whos sole purpose is jellyfin transcoding

[merry stirrup]

my jellyfin is based on comet

[gilded plaza]

Comet lake which one is that? That's uhhh 8th gen right?

For a second I got confused with raptor lake -> meteor lake because of the extinction joke

Oh comet is 10th gen

[merry stirrup]

10th yeah

10700 box thing

[gilded plaza]

I picked haswell because it was the earliest good QSV support

But eventually I threw in I think it was a quadro p400

[merry stirrup]

i picked 10th gen cause i got the machine free from work

[gilded plaza]

Nice

[merry stirrup]

so it picked me

well, i paid 50$ for the machine from work, but even now the SSD that was in it is worth that much

[gilded plaza]

I wanted to run it in docker but docker doesn't seem to like passing a gpu to it

So I needed a separate machine

[merry stirrup]

fair, i use jelly in an ubuntu server VM and have a separate docker stack for the various relating ARR applications

might be debian actually, close enough

[livid flame]

https://tenor.com/view/glenn-quagmire-family-guy-giggity-gif-4084933

quite new like released few days ago

[merry stirrup]

it is time to sell some of the random garbage i have

if anyone needs copious amounts of laptop hw let me know

[mild sentinel]

64gb ram pls

[merry stirrup]

i have a 32GB sodimm but i am unsure if it works

[brave panther]

that would be 1000 USD sir

[topaz veldt]

I am really tempted

[brave panther]

use ai to finish ai training like sam altman intended

[mild sentinel]

more than that tbh

o wait nvm its the same

[brave panther]

so amd went for a diffrent system for sp5 but returned to old one on sp6?

[topaz veldt]

Well just that whatever they did in SP6 is backward

[edgy laurel]

But that would mean.. you need a system

small flip flops

[civic reef]

Oh no most of the time there IS electricity, from 5 PM to 8 PM usually

[edgy laurel]

this is when you know new hardware releases have fallen flat

[topaz veldt]

I know dude - it's bad

[civic reef]

Daytime limit is usually 3 PM since that's when the solar output isn't strong enough

[topaz veldt]

@edgy laurel the dude I sold some memory to is like "give me more, I want it all" but I am hedging the DDR4 prices might actually go up.

[edgy laurel]

problem is, RDIMM's and resale are still issues to deal with

[topaz veldt]

yes

[civic reef]

Wanting a laptop-like iGPU & dGPU power distribution config is only if I need to use it for any purpose from 9 PM to 12 AM

Or 12-9 AM

[edgy laurel]

sadly

[livid flame]

This is plausible for me tbh

[topaz veldt]

I'd have to go TR Pro

Because of 8-channel memory

[civic reef]

The Haswell will keep the A550BN

Second PSU will be a higher power one

Something that's atleast capable of supporting a 3090

AKA 850W C tier at the minimum

[civic reef]

I'll have to see if Mint has an option for it

Since I am definitely not going to run w10 when time is of the essence

[civic reef]

Yeah around that mark

I haven't seen it go lower than like 20W

[civic reef]

Yeah the last time I had to turn it on without government electricity was to make sure that one of my external HDDs was working

[brave panther]

tf you doing ova there

[civic reef]

Wdym

We have rolling blackouts, electricity from only 5-8 PM & occasionally 3-6 AMduring Ramadan period (since that's around the time for Iftar & suhur respectively)

Any other period is with 0 electricity from government 220 line

[brave panther]

i have a blackout every 3-4 years, this is unimaginable to me

big ass ups time

at that point i would build my own offgrid system, little bit of solar, 5kwh of batteries and a hybrid inverter

[civic reef]

That's what we have

I don't remember exactly, but 24V batteries with a solar system & hybrid inverter

They're why the daytime is fair game for PC use

And why I don't just sit under a candle at night - anymore

[brave panther]

how tf do business operate

[worthy urchin]

Hello , can I get some advice , I am rookie PC builder and need to know if Intel i5 12400f will work with a msi pro h610me ?

[civic reef]

It's a complicated topic

Lots of corruption, outdated machinery, and too little power

Some areas get 24/7 through their local grid

[merry stirrup]

yeah idk i have like 5000$ of various laptops and older enterprise gear to get rid of

[civic reef]

But we, the "lower" people (Muslim area, complicated I tell ya) get the least attention from the city grid

[pure garnet]

$35 have it ready when i get there

[merry stirrup]

if you come over you can have the whole bedroom

pause

[pure garnet]

ay yo

[civic reef]

The government is suffering more from having too much tech

[pure garnet]

[shell void]

that’s a nice looking presumably cheap ATX OC board

much nicer looking than the matx force on the right

[steel stream]

1dpc 🙏

[merry stirrup]

talked about it earlier

if its as cheap as b850 force or something its not bad

[shell void]

the original 2dpc variant is $200 so hopefully it’s cheap as well

i’m sure it’ll cost more than the force, but the force is fugly

[steel stream]

you don't want some ugly orange color on your board?

[merry stirrup]

better than yellow

[devout ridge]

as all boards should be

[merry stirrup]

i find myself wanting to do a build with the Z890 Elite X Duo and U7 270K even though i shouldn’t

i must hold strong and abstain

[brisk jolt]

im thinking of how to go about wireless backhaul rn and its a headache :/

[brisk jolt]

I find myself questioning if I shall abstain from 270K and just holdout for NVL as a whole

prob jst gonna holdout unless my guy wants to push for the 265k earlier

[steel stream]

hold for NVL brother

[livid flame]

Just get a 270k

You know you want to

[brisk jolt]

I need to distract myself with other stuff instead and holdout for 2027

[livid flame]

The fuck v color filler kits are 66bucks

[hoary hatch]

270k time

What, is he supposed to wait a whole ass year for Nova lake?

[livid flame]

Used to be able to get 16gb ddr5 for that. Why so aspensive

[steel stream]

you should buy one too

[wraith steeple]

[livid flame]

I bet nova lake launch gets delayed too

Especially after the arrow lake shit show launch

They gotta learn

[steel stream]

please don't speak such evil into the world I can't take it

[brisk jolt]

nah CES 2027 will be so hype for NVL and my opportunity to grab a tandem 4k420 32"

i doubt they'll want to delay and push asap to keep in line with the schedule of CES

interesting

[wraith steeple]

Interesting indeed

[brisk jolt]

[steel stream]

[brisk jolt]

I say interesting as I will not be getting one at all- period

[shell void]

i don’t mind it

[livid flame]

They speak about consumer products at CES?

[brisk jolt]

intel did

[civic reef]

They sell about $50,000 worth of computers, but, yeah, $200,000 gone daily

[steel stream]
