Segotep is all E & F, with only a singular limited confidence C

A C tier 750W is $70

[pure garnet]

you scare me with the c tier

[young void]

I just installed a 1250 msi gls last night xD

[steel stream]

is a c tier really that bad

[pure garnet]

i need amazon to mess up and send me a 5090 master over some bedsheets

[young void]

Not really if it doesnt break akns

[civic reef]

I am just saying

[young void]

I know alot of miners rocking evga and other exploaders, if they last ya know

[edgy laurel]

C tier to me is I don't have a fear of house fire.

[pure garnet]

for me it’s just the one component that can blow up the others so why go with the one 2 steps below

i’m not saying everyone needs a dark power 14 but

[edgy laurel]

below that, all bets are off. bring a fire extinguisher

[pure garnet]

the montech loud fan or whatever is still a tier and cheap

[civic reef]

A reliable-enough unit that's not an E/F segotep isn't even that expensive in decent wattage

That's what I am trying to say

[steel stream]

you gotta ride the lightning man

[edgy laurel]

literally

[steel stream]

I ain't afraid (I only have corsair rmx PSUs in use)

I should check what PSU my brother has, i bet that's a good one

[young void]

Msi is my first non corsair psu in like 8 years xD, usually pretty biased

[brisk jolt]

I personally have a lianli edge 1000w, SF850, SP750, thankfully didnt go for the sp850 bomb

[civic reef]

-There's also an A650GLS (A-) that's $83

[civic reef]

-MWE V3 Bronze 750W, $91, B tier

[steel stream]

https://tenor.com/view/lmao-gif-17985395765206926662

[pure garnet]

how much is a montech century by you

[civic reef]

Errr
None available I believe

[pure garnet]

alright you might live in the coolest market ever

[civic reef]

Is this sarcasm? I believe it is

[pure garnet]

do you get the rme

[pure garnet]

no i’m half serious because no monetch is kinda funny

[civic reef]

I think? One second
We do have other corsair products

None

[pure garnet]

okay that’s surprising

these aren’t value priced but pure curiosity, any bequiets?

[civic reef]

They're quite quiet

We do have Lian Lis though

Oh look I found a SAMA

@pure garnet Okay yeah my only option for budget B tier is MSI 💔

[pure garnet]

i mean there's nothing wrong with msi if its a decent platform

[civic reef]

C tiers are plenty but I think it's best I invest in B tier since I am not doing the heavy payments if the PC I sent above is bought

[civic reef]

Oh no I am not saying they're bad

I am just saying that they're the ONLY ones

[pure garnet]

ah

yeah i just woke up so 😭

[civic reef]

Also what should I do with that segotep unit

Throw it away? Keep it for testing? I don't want to keep it in any computer I own

[civic reef]

Oh no you're fine
I worded it badly

[pure garnet]

realistically just toss it yeah

[civic reef]

Oh we also have NZXT lmfao

[merry stirrup]

my main goal

https://tenor.com/view/explosion-cat-gif-5858640239144030160

[pure garnet]

what the flop

[merry stirrup]

https://youtu.be/oh-SeHNIvI4?si=JrdeCnQ8_qHYKem_

[civic reef]

Fair enough

[pure garnet]

3dmark website still dying apparently

[civic reef]

Lmao what
What's happening to it

[pure garnet]

just not working

[civic reef]

</3

Is the program atleast still functioning right

Probably should be

[merry stirrup]

damn still?

[pure garnet]

yeah

[merry stirrup]

UL hates 3dmark so it makes sense but damn

[pure garnet]

it works but you get no indiaction of score quality

[civic reef]

Oooooh the 3070 in the PC looks nice

[civic reef]

Oh, odd
Yeah that's going to be quite the obstacle for people testing their PCs

[livid flame]

It’s a 3070 though. It’s looked down upon by our multiple 5090 and 90000gb ram stick overlords*

[civic reef]

It's good enough

If it's not enough for the 1440p gaming I am doing then I'll replace it

If it's enough, I'll keep it

DLSS 4/4.5 should help

[pure garnet]

he’s still salty about snail

[civic reef]

Oh fair

[civic reef]

From what I've heard it's a bit justified lol

[young void]

Nyaaaa

Frigging war ship

[sharp heart]

i hate pc issues when the computer refuses to tell me what's wrong with it

[young void]

[wraith steeple]

We really should bring back AwardBIOS at this point

[brisk jolt]

sorry my 5090 is bricked, i believe in our lord and saviour the 5060ti cyclone

[frank zealot]

FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK

Why the fuck is this a problem still:

Work computers:

1. They're set via GPO to never go to sleep, so they don't.
2. They're just i5 13400's with iGPUs, perfectly fine little PCs.
3. Screens blank after 15 - 30 minutes, depending on what their settings are

In the mornings, frequently the screens won't turn back on.

The computers are running. If we connect with remote software, they are up and running, just not giving any display output on the monitor.

I've already tried a DDU and installing intel's drivers from the website, and that hasn't done much to fix it.

I'm running out of ideas on what could be causing this / how to fuckin' fix it

[civic reef]

Maybe something with their boards?

Try completely wiping the drive on one and reset the BIOS with the jumpers / CMOS

[frank zealot]

for an iGPU that doesn't seem likely

[civic reef]

Well, it's the only fix I have in mind

Since maybe the program used for remote access or such is doing things to it

[young void]

No windows power saving options? And are they all only setup to 1 display or multiple?

[shell void]

now that's a real graphics card

[frank zealot]

some are one, most are two monitors
Normal power saving things, but "Never" is the sleep settings

[shell void]

@steel stream @edgy laurel subnautica 2 early access in May supposedly

im definitely buying it

[young void]

For the dual setups ensuring the same refresh rate and such can help but hrmm, if i think of anything clever ill ping

[frank zealot]

IIRC they're all set to just 60, cuz office panels

[edgy laurel]

Same. Though part of me wants to experience the game start to finish once it’s fully done

I got into Sub1 after it was finished

[shell void]

iirc it took four years for sub1 to go from public early access to final release

all of my playtime was in various stages of early access

[edgy laurel]

Actually, come to think of it, I played Sub1 around 2017 so I guess it was the end of EA

it went 1.0 in 2018

[green marsh]

well, for LLM tasks a 1000W PSU was an overkill for two 1080 Ti's and a 2950x TR system 😄

[shell void]

W Intel

putting out a feature before Radeon and before Nvidia

[green marsh]

(the peaks above 500W at 9AM are caused by other system being on for 10 minutes)

[green marsh]

next up:
"Why is Intel driver constantly downloading gigabytes of shader files from internet, where is my disk space dissapearing" 😄

[edgy laurel]

from what I recall of the original news article

[brisk jolt]

https://giphy.com/gifs/cheer-squid-game-celebration-bpTL6wXRuMQpMIVduB

[edgy laurel]

they would be bundled with the game files

not come through the driver

[pure garnet]

bro what is my pc doing now 😭

@merry stirrup im crashing out and buying a mac mini

[merry stirrup]

i’d say blame riser but it’s not even real anymore

[merry stirrup]

yeah that final fantasy is gonna hit at 0 fps

[edgy laurel]

things riser users say

[pure garnet]

im off the riser

[low sorrel]

FLOPPA WTF

[edgy laurel]

this is just the withdraw symptom phase then

[green marsh]

check bios, maybe it was set to gen 3 ?

[merry stirrup]

yeah, i’m racist

[pure garnet]

i literally just told floppa about this bug on the tomahawk

[merry stirrup]

yeah deadass

[edgy laurel]

i'd say grab for the archive but even i'm not gonna do that to you flops

[pure garnet]

and now the fucking mlg is doing it

[merry stirrup]

and it’s not addressed either on your board

email msi make a ticket bro get in line

[merry stirrup]

personal permission just don’t use it against me poorly

[low sorrel]

I mean mac and cheese can be yellow or white

[merry stirrup]

i can’t even begin to answer

[pure garnet]

this computer isn't real

[merry stirrup]

blazing fast

was almost bad

at least it’s working but not? maybe it’s sleeping

run the link state test in gpuz or somethin

[pure garnet]

it's been sleeping fine

i ran the link state test and it didn't change earlier

[merry stirrup]

man

[pure garnet]

but it shouldn't be changing because i have aspm off

[merry stirrup]

stupid computer

[brisk jolt]

yo this computer is buns im switching to mac

[merry stirrup]

i think it’s also a driver thing cause normally it would go all the way down to 1.1

[pure garnet]

my power plan got changed im gonna blame that somehow

[brisk jolt]

time to do corecycler on the 9950x3d for real this time

[merry stirrup]

16 cores of core cycling sounds like hell bro

[pure garnet]

everything seems right but idk what recovery count errors are

when i google them people say they just kinda happen

[low sorrel]

And cheese?

[pure garnet]

and they're normal

[brisk jolt]

16 hours to properly test is crazy work

im gonna test ccd0 first tbh

[merry stirrup]

idk so do whea’s and bluescreens

we don’t typically attribute those to “stupid computer”

[brisk jolt]

now should I try PBO +100 for fun

[merry stirrup]

we generally attribute that to broken computer

[pure garnet]

googling these say it's from power state switching

[merry stirrup]

which is theoretically off?

[hoary hatch]

Good morning blue names

[pure garnet]

fire up hwinfo

[merry stirrup]

but also has never happened on my computer ever

i’ve had hwinfo open for 36+ hours before i’ve never had any errors

but i’m going i’m going

[edgy laurel]

where ya going

[brisk jolt]

fuck it ccd0 +200 -30 start test and let corecycler do its job

[merry stirrup]

how to make happen

[pure garnet]

idk they just are there

it's always a low digit for me

[merry stirrup]

it says i have 0 then i click and its 151 💀

[pure garnet]

wiseguy

[merry stirrup]

hmmm spam windows shift s does it go up

[pure garnet]

no mine is fixed at 8

[merry stirrup]

it goes up everytime i take a screenshot lol

[pure garnet]

those probably are just aspm then

and i get a couple while the os loads

[merry stirrup]

so maybe your no sleep is working yeah

seems so

[pure garnet]

power draw looks the same to me so

[merry stirrup]

probably happens every time i look a monitor off or on

[pure garnet]

i'll burn 5w for working sleep

[merry stirrup]

*turn, and yes

so it makes sense cause i turn my oled off and on a bunch

[merry stirrup]

seems it is good then

[fervent elm]

I am finally back to pc-ing
Just got a 7500f-7700xt itx tower

[merry stirrup]

has it been stable so far otherwise?

[sharp heart]

banger combo

[pure garnet]

yeah other than that link bug a second ago it's been fine

and even then 3.0x16 wasn't like noticeable to fps

[merry stirrup]

hm id say just ignore it then ig

yeah i dont think its really hurting anything

idk lets see if mine does it

trolled

[pure garnet]

these were just gpu oc last night

[fervent elm]

Yed
Will go great with the 1440p oled im getting aswell

[merry stirrup]

7700xt?

[pure garnet]

cheap european car looking history

[merry stirrup]

all of this is from one application+signal rgb not restarting

[fervent elm]

Yeah

[merry stirrup]

other than that recently, nothing

[sharp heart]

not much due to fresh install

[steel stream]

please please please 🙏

[merry stirrup]

an interesting pick

[wraith steeple]

[edgy laurel]

man i have a failure every day on this work laptop. its a driver related to Dell SupportAssist

[fervent elm]

I got it as a unit, used
Was a good deal and yea lol

Oof

[edgy laurel]

I have a solution

[frank zealot]

the dell apps are almost as bad as Armory Crate

[brisk jolt]

fuck it we ball (im gonna just test all the cores smh)

[edgy laurel]

did you go through that whole powershell config script?

there are a fuckton of options

[brisk jolt]

im gonna fucking man up to this

[brisk jolt]

i only did the auto CO adjustment and automatic restart

+setting each core test to 1hr

[edgy laurel]

just using the default prime95

[digital plume]

yo

any1 know whats up w dis

[edgy laurel]

generic "you crashed"

why would require more time and troubleshooting

[digital plume]

i mean im getting constant freezing

also got these

[edgy laurel]

you can analyze that dump file but i couldn't tell you what to look for

[digital plume]

31 crc errors

is this looking like a potential failing ssd

[pure garnet]

windbg will show the driver at fault

[digital plume]

i did use windbg

let me see if i can upload it without flooding chat

[pure garnet]

and what did it show

just take a screenshot

[hoary hatch]

The only good Dell app I used was their display manager

Although I think they replaced it with a new app

[hoary hatch]

No

[merry stirrup]

literally absolutely not

[digital plume]

i am not following

[pure garnet]

well it did crash from the achi driver

[edgy laurel]

ahci driver, storage

[merry stirrup]

message.txt

[steel stream]

anyone see the new spiderman trailer

[edgy laurel]

so yeah, your sketchy health drive is probably not helping

[digital plume]

yes that is what discord does when you paste a long text

[frank zealot]

1TB 2230 drives are fuckin' crazy overpriced

[digital plume]

it turns it into a .txt file you can open in fullscreen to view

[pure garnet]

yeah prolly

[merry stirrup]

oh i’m on my phone

[digital plume]

i find it odd

[pure garnet]

cheaper drive just on the way out

[digital plume]

it is fine

[pure garnet]

message.exe

[merry stirrup]

run my new game bro

[edgy laurel]

tl;dr replace that drive

[digital plume]

awh i really do love this drive

i want to guess the issue is that i have the pagefile set to the ssd because i had 8gb

now that i upgraded to 16gb i will see if disabling the pagefile is wise

[edgy laurel]

it is not wise

[merry stirrup]

it’s not

[digital plume]

and leaving it on the hdd

[pure garnet]

replacing the drive is wise

disabling the page file is not wise

[merry stirrup]

leave it on, it should also stay on the ssd, replace the drive homie

[edgy laurel]

I have drives older than that, quite a bit older, with 98% health

though I don't know the read/write numbers right now

[digital plume]

my ssd has 22146 hours and i only use it exclusively for boot

i might buy an NVMe drive if i get the chance

[pure garnet]

87% health at 3tb written is like dubious nand quality

oh wait 33tb

[edgy laurel]

lol crystal disk info can be funny. This work laptop has an Optane boost drive coupled to a normal NVMe

[pure garnet]

my 990 pro is getting up there

[digital plume]

ah yes, the nvme that's ran for more time than computers have existed

[edgy laurel]

the power of Optane

[digital plume]

if it were that low at 3tb i'd have been dead by now

[digital plume]

i saw a 16gb optane drive for sale should i go for one for the lols

[pure garnet]

no you should go for a new regular sized drive

[digital plume]

you know what

just for that i will go and buy an 80gb sata m.2 ssd

[merry stirrup]

your loss

[digital plume]

i'll be evil today

nvm i cannot afford even cheapest ssd

[merry stirrup]

i mean give it an unplug replug

[digital plume]

wtf does one do with a 16gb nvme

[arctic bronze]

Me to the guy on life support

[digital plume]

wait is not even an nvme

15 bucks for this

[cosmic gazelle]

that’s a sata drive

[merry stirrup]

they’re for embedded computers

[digital plume]

i guess

[coral aspen]

I learned this lesson not five days ago lol

[cosmic gazelle]

do those even fit in standard key slots

[coral aspen]

I'm very sure they do

[cosmic gazelle]

maybe not such a bad idea if the price is right

[merry stirrup]

they do yes

[digital plume]

idk i have a 480gb m.2 ssd acting as a games drive rn

[merry stirrup]

issue is not all slots support them lol

[cosmic gazelle]

like would a pcie gen3 nvme slot boot from it

[digital plume]

my motherboard disables sata slot 2 whenever an ssd is plugged into the m.2 drive

[cosmic gazelle]

only so many lanes assigned to sata probably

[digital plume]

should i trust this

[merry stirrup]

sata is rightfully a second rate citizen

[cosmic gazelle]

it’s just chinese it would probably work

maybe not super reliable

[arctic bronze]

Gen 3 speeds, damn

[digital plume]

my motherboard's m.2 port is gen 3 x2

[arctic bronze]

Oh, are you on something like 3rd gen ryzen?

[digital plume]

no, 10th gen i3

[arctic bronze]

Oh ouch

I wouod upgrade that cpu

[digital plume]

i find it limiting on minecraft with some mods like 200+ or 300+

[edgy laurel]

@frank zealot rage https://linustechtips.com/topic/1634028-cant-really-enjoy-games-anger

[cosmic gazelle]

10700ks are overpriced as hell

[digital plume]

i'd love to

[digital plume]

but sadly, my motherboard also doesnt support 11th gen

[arctic bronze]

Stick on 10th gen

See if you can find a 10600

[cosmic gazelle]

like this is ABSURD bro 😭😭

[arctic bronze]

Try 10600

[cosmic gazelle]

not so bad

[digital plume]

when i bought this prebuilt like 4 or 3 years ago it was pretty new

[cosmic gazelle]

do you have a motherboard that can supply the power for a k sku to stretch its legs

[frank zealot]

"Latest Games"

I replied lol

[cosmic gazelle]

if you can hit 5ghz on your mobo you’d be almost twice as fast for $100

[edgy laurel]

guy needs to smoke something

[frank zealot]

Oh, I smoked him in the reply

[edgy laurel]

lol

[steel stream]

dude needs a therapist

[edgy laurel]

maybe that too

[frank zealot]

Have you looked at the price of 2230 NVMEs lately?

I just looked for the first time in ages, and HOLY SHIT

[edgy laurel]

no, i just keep seeing the same $1100 SN850X posted on reddit over and over again

[cosmic gazelle]

yo guilty quick q since you know things

do older intel “t” skus actually perform better than the equivalent cpu just limited to the same wattage

[frank zealot]

actual prices for 2230's are 175-250 USD for 1TB

[edgy laurel]

absolutley no idea

[cosmic gazelle]

hmm

[digital plume]

for what i could buy an i5 10400

[frank zealot]

there's no reason they'd perform better at 35w vs normal chips

[digital plume]

i could buy a 14th gen i3 with a motherboard

[edgy laurel]

I think they mean if both are 35w limited

[frank zealot]

unless you acqquire a full setup, it's not worth it

[cosmic gazelle]

yeah that’s what i mean

like maybe the t has a better voltage curve or something

[frank zealot]

yeah, there's no reason a T chip at 35w would be faster than a K chip at 35w

it's the same silicon, just with a different power budget and ghz cap

[digital plume]

i didn't follow, sorry

[frank zealot]

building a 10th gen setup today is a waste of money unless you find a full build really cheap

[cosmic gazelle]

problem arises when i’m trying to configure this dell 12th gen shell as a server and don’t have the ability to configure power draw, but 12100fs are literally half the price of 12100ts

but a 65w chip under a dell stock cooler is loud as hell for no reason

[digital plume]

uhhhh

i currently have a 10th gen setup

[steel stream]

what's the server for

[pure garnet]

65w chip
dell stock cooler
found the reason chips

[cosmic gazelle]

yeah no shit sherlock

[digital plume]

for what i'd be paying for a 6 core i5 10400

i could buy an entire new platform upgrade to 14th gen

[cosmic gazelle]

idk nothing really i just have this empty dell pc sitting there with a perfectly good mobo and power supply

both of which are worth basically jack shit

[steel stream]

would you plan to use it for media like jellyfin or something

[cosmic gazelle]

perhaps

[frank zealot]

yeah, buying 10th gen parts is hella overpriced

[cosmic gazelle]

i just despise prebuilt motherboards so much that i might just forget about it lol

[steel stream]

if there's any slight possibility of doing media related stuff, don't buy the F sku

[cosmic gazelle]

well it’s a case that can take a gpu and buying a 1050 off marketplace would still be cheaper than the 12100t

[frank zealot]

https://www.ebay.com/itm/336463788708?
Something like that to harvest a 10700 is probably almost as cheap as buying a chip on its own.

And then you could flip the dell again to get some $ back with your old chip

[digital plume]

i love how facebook marketplace completely fucks up my searches

what do you mean you can't find anything with "intel" in it you stupid ad filled platform

[merry stirrup]

best day evar

[arctic bronze]

I got an optiplex with a 10600 and another optiplex with a 12700 for free from work a while ago

[digital plume]

yall js be throwing stuff

[frank zealot]

businesses be businessing

that's how cycles work sometimes

[digital plume]

it'd be splendid to get some old optiplex

[cosmic gazelle]

i sold a 12700 non k i got from a business for $212.50 plus shipping lol

[digital plume]

but you could probably become a millionaire by selling them here

[arctic bronze]

Damn, the 12th gen pc i had came with 32gigs 3200mhz ddr4 ram lmao

[digital plume]

you could probably get away with selling that for 400-500 usd equivalent here

[cosmic gazelle]

same, got $132.50 for it

[arctic bronze]

I gave it to my mom

[cosmic gazelle]

my gfs roommate works at a financial office and gave me a dell tower plus with a 265 and 4060 ti

sold it to a buddy for 900 bucks

[arctic bronze]

Thats insane

[shell void]

damage control time

[cosmic gazelle]

they started forcing them to use dell laptops with 1360ps

quite the downgrade

[edgy laurel]

you know its funny. Like 20 minutes after the presentation yesterday I saw DF uploaded a video and I thought to myself "huh, that was fast". Didn't bother looking further into it

[cosmic gazelle]

imagine your office tells you this is your new pc upgrade

[arctic bronze]

The 4060ti alone for free is awesome

[edgy laurel]

i'd be quite happy

[digital plume]

i think the pcs at my mom's work are those tiny mini pcs with celerons

[cosmic gazelle]

yeah i just didn’t want to deal with parting it all out so i did a custom build on pcpp with identical components and gave my friend a $200 discount from that price

[digital plume]

im suprised they upgraded from windows 7 last year

or windows 8

[cosmic gazelle]

this is what 95% of offices should be using anyways

[edgy laurel]

prior to this it was a Dell optiplex minipc with an 8600t

[reef lance]

LTT should build a toilet PC for maximum efficency

[arctic bronze]

Na, i disagree lmao

[arctic bronze]

I think they should have i5s

[digital plume]

i'd be substantially happier

[cosmic gazelle]

i upgraded from an 8550u to a r5 8645hs a year or so ago for my school laptop

quite the improvement

[merry stirrup]

messin with the FX puter today

[digital plume]

6 dimms and raw pci

[shell void]

i’m about 10 minutes into this latest hour video

[cosmic gazelle]

lemme know how many strands of hair you have left later

[shell void]

apparently nvidia needed the second 5090 because of vram constraints moreso than performance

[merry stirrup]

lol if i like it maybe ill buy an 8350

its all about the pentiums baby

[cosmic gazelle]

you doing oc on a 6300?

[arctic bronze]

I need one to sell

Nah the 386 and 486 builds are where it's at

fair enough

[arctic bronze]

This guy doesn't have it

[cosmic gazelle]

what are you using

[merry stirrup]

uh

[steel stream]

TempleOS

[merry stirrup]

sauceOS?

[reef lance]

No you don't get it, Lossless Scaling can use two GPUs. Nvidia is really hurting financially without SLI, so they'll have you buy a second GPU for dedicated DLSS. They'll also lock it so you can only run it with two identical cards. Can't have you thinking you can buy a 5090 for gaming and a 5060 for DLSS. That would be silly.

[steel stream]

is that the McDonald's kiosk OS

[merry stirrup]

that works

[wraith steeple]

OS/2 Warp

no i was literally asking how much ram you need. i plan to use my own router when i get an apartment

[merry stirrup]

it’s functional. holy shit.

[edgy laurel]

And if everyone refreshes it at the same time, you could fill up your NAT state table and the interner would crash for a bit, or the router would just fully lockup

with the Pfsense box, it laughed at us doing that

[edgy laurel]

no idea, this was 2012ish and I'm pretty sure we had like 150/300 Mb/s internet

i have a dell prebuilt with an i3-8100 and a single stick of 8gb. might be fine if i just install a decent nic card

gpu cables that came with my semi modular psu

they’re ugly af

[frank zealot]

they're 8 pin, buy 3 extensions and 24 pin cable combs

[cosmic gazelle]

i know but if i was gonna do that id just buy a modular psu, im not gonna buy cables for a semi modular

[frank zealot]

modular psu cables look the same as what you have

[cosmic gazelle]

i more so mean how curled around i had to make them to get them in there and also the extra 6 pin hanging off

[frank zealot]

I mean, do what you want, but what you want isn't born out by the reality of what things are

[cosmic gazelle]

i'm saying i would get the nice braided custom ones if i could also replace my 24 pin

[cosmic gazelle]

i get that they’re just copper but there’s no like weird interference or anything from using these? i’ve never done cosmetic upgrades

[frank zealot]

Do you think there's data in the power cords?

[cosmic gazelle]

power interference can cause instability man idk

[frank zealot]

the only cable I wouldn't use an extension on is a 12VHPWR cord

[cosmic gazelle]

well i actively avoided buying a 3080 fe so luckily im safe there

[frank zealot]

What exactly is power interference in your head canon?

[cosmic gazelle]

idk i just hear it comes from having a shitty psu and can cause instability at lower thresholds

besides that no clue

[brisk jolt]

Fact: Oscar Piastri throughout all Grand Prix in the 2026 season has accumulated an outstanding 0 tire wear

critics are calling him the most efficient driver of all time, he has also needed to pit exactly zero times

[frank zealot]

So you heard similar words, and now you're making up new ways to use them?

No, there is no "power interference" you need to worry about from these extensions.

[brisk jolt]

Im gonna leave corecycler to test -20 on every core and when I wake up it wont even be done

except for core 8 thats a turd

[cosmic gazelle]

did you already start it? i was wondering how often id have to reset from a bsod

or are you not doing the automatic thing

[misty magnet]

@topaz veldt taking my CCNA next Friday

[frank zealot]

PSU instability comes from shitty PSUs not being able to reliably deliver a rated wattage, and having more ripple and drift.

A good PSU doesn't do that. Using an extension cord doesn't magically make a PSU shittier

[brisk jolt]

im doing automatic and the reduced CO thing- Ill get back from work the next day and it’ll prob still not be done xd

[cosmic gazelle]

did you just set windows to automatically log in or does it not crash the whole system

[brisk jolt]

the whole system crashing is a skill issue

[cosmic gazelle]

bro i actually want to know if it can run without me babysitting it 😭

[frank zealot]

build your system, and do some stability testing

if it passes that, probably yes it'll run

[cosmic gazelle]

i don’t think you know what we’re referring to

[brisk jolt]

start each core at like -20 and let corecycler reduce CO and post you the result

[cosmic gazelle]

i already know at least a couple of my cores can do almost -40 so i was gonna do the beginnings per core

[frank zealot]

core cycler? Voltage offset testing?

[brisk jolt]

if the system crashes/freezes while testing that specific core then increase the voltage for that core

[cosmic gazelle]

but isn’t that the entire point of the automatic thing

[brisk jolt]

automatic cant help if ur entire system is in the dumpster from an entire crash

[cosmic gazelle]

ya but supposedly it still recovers and auto adjusts if you manually reset

[brisk jolt]

once you pass the corecycler and rooted out the turds decrease -5 for those that passed

[brisk jolt]

If ur system is entirely locked up you need to power off entirely

and start it manually again

[cosmic gazelle]

ya ik

[brisk jolt]

????

[cosmic gazelle]

but it was saying if you add it to startup programs it’ll just read the json file and continue

after the 120 seconds

[frank zealot]

So, you're saying you want an app that'll automatically test everything, recover from crashes, and figure out all of your undervolt settings for you without you touching it?

[cosmic gazelle]

dude will you shut up that is literally the point of the mode

you are so condescending

[brisk jolt]

are we deadass rn

tkitch is literally on the money

automatic tuning cant fucking fix an absolute turd causing an ENTIRE system to lockup

[pure garnet]

the entire system shouldn’t lock up from one core erroring

[brisk jolt]

what you’re expecting is like having a dude lose both front tires and you expect the countersteering to do something

[pure garnet]

but yeah if it does there’s no guarantee the pc reboots when it freezes

you might just be frozen till you get there

[brisk jolt]

UV too aggressive on the core that is a mac/set bin equivalent goes hard

[devout ridge]

of what mode

[cosmic gazelle]

core cycler introduced an automatic mode where each failure it raises the core offset by your set amount

and it just runs until it finds the best offset on every core

but you apparently just have to babysit it to flip your psu when it hard locks up

[devout ridge]

So you want an IPMI chip included on consumer boards

[frank zealot]

Spoiler:
Overclocking / Undervolting / Tuning in general is, was, and always will be a very manually intensive process.

If you want it to be automagic? Turn on PBO and call it a day.

If you want to fine tune the settings? Expect to have to get into the weeds yourself.

I could do it, but given the amount of effort needed for tuning?
I decided long ago that it wasn't worth the effort, so I XMP and let the CPU/RAM do its own thing

[devout ridge]

basically everyone wants the most performance possible out of their chip, but expecting the machine to do literally everything for you isn't reasonable

[cosmic gazelle]

not necessarily i was just asking how often a hard lock would happen

and everyone said look at this dumbass he wants his pc to reset for him

when that wasn’t even my question

[devout ridge]

A lot, that's pretty inherent to overclocking

[cosmic gazelle]

but some people say a single core crash on this specific test doesn’t bsod necessarily

so i was asking if he had specific experience with it

[devout ridge]

"doesn't bsod necessarily" doesn't mean it never BSODs

[cosmic gazelle]

i know but bsod 1 out of 10 crashes and 8 out of 10 crashes is a very different experience

[devout ridge]

Not really, still requires you to babysit

[frank zealot]

and guess what: that's going to vary chip to chip. There is no answer for that.

Welcome to the silicon lottery

[devout ridge]

[frank zealot]

the company Silicon Lottery died a while ago

[devout ridge]

Oh, didn't realize there was also a company called that

[frank zealot]

they bought chips in bulk and binned them lol

and also delidded, etc

[devout ridge]

Roman, get on that

you already do delidds, give us binned chips too

[frank zealot]

They went under as manufs are doing way more binning now, so the juice wasn't worth the squeeze anymore

[devout ridge]

Roman doesn't seem the type to make entirely sound financial decisions, so maybe he'll do it anyways

[frank zealot]

[frank zealot]

yeah. (Don't forget 9600X3D's)

[pure garnet]

it’s funny that he doesn’t bin them at all

so you can pay $800 for a 9800x3d with no lid that needs 1.27v soc to do 6000

[cosmic gazelle]

is delidding am5 super challenging or is it more a “pay me to take the risk for you” thing

[devout ridge]

Depends on if you have experience delidding or not

[pure garnet]

more of a what’s the point thing

[devout ridge]

it's not necessarily harder than any other comparably sized chip

Yeah, drinking more than a full day intake of calories in just soda's gonna be a problem

20+ cans is also like what, 800 grams of sugar?

[cosmic gazelle]

also like, 800mg of caffeine

[frank zealot]

800mg of caff is less of an issue

[livid flame]

The shit after this will make you want to never drink again

honestly tho i couldnt even consume 20+ cans of sparkling water in a single day how could anyone consume that much coke

Well actually 800 mg of caffeine would cause you to be pretty jittery

I’d you don’t have a high tolerance

most ive consumed is like 8 or 10 cans of sparkling water

please stay on topic in soda-chat-2 sir or else I will call a mod

[lethal topaz]

raced like a piss horse that day

[frank zealot]

you realize that LD50 of Caffeine is 150-200mg PER KILOGRAM

So, the amount of caffeine a human would need to consume is really fuckin' high.

1000mg isn't really going to be that much of a concern

[livid flame]

Fair enough

[frank zealot]

is it enough to fuck with your sleep and shit? yup.

But it ain't likely to kill you, unless you decide to just pop a 1g caff pill at once

[cosmic gazelle]

I just stared at my screen for far too long before realizing I was hard locked

[whole coral]

Caffeine powder is really scary

Definitely moreso than caffeine pills

[lethal topaz]

one gram is not a lot of substance. scary when considering caffiene is measured in mg

[livid flame]

Only if you mix it with roids and rip the gym like a knucklehead

[frank zealot]

again: LD50 for caff is 150-200mg per KG of body mass

1000mg isn't likely to kill anyone who isn't really sensetive to caffeine

[cosmic gazelle]

especially fent

[livid flame]

Seen a couple of people die from that pre work out shit now that’s basically just caffeine

glucose is just sugar lol

[devout ridge]

More than aware

[whole coral]

Yes it’s a reference point

[cosmic gazelle]

the oh added on is why they’re called sugar alcohols because oh is the thing that usually marks an alcohol, but sugar alcohols are neither sugars nor alcohols in essence lol

[devout ridge]

The word you're looking for is hydroxide

[cosmic gazelle]

not really

[whole coral]

The downside is it’s not well absorbed by your gut so if you eat too much you could have an upset stomach.

So you should have it in moderation

Carolina Reaper Sugar Free Gummis

[whole coral]

Jesus Christ

Yeah no wonder why it can upset your stomach

[devout ridge]

[frank zealot]

God took one look at this thing and left the fuckin' universe behind

[whole coral]

Scoville units of Carolina Reaper is 2M+

[frank zealot]

yes

[green marsh]

reminds me of the classic Haribo Sugarfree amazon reviews... "A date with Andrea" 😄

[frank zealot]

that's what inspired these, only they said "Instead of just making haribo's... LETS MAKE THEM FIRE"

[whole coral]

inb4 there’s a version with Pepper X in them

Even more hell

Pepper X is supposedly even more spicy than the Carolina Reaper

[frank zealot]

pepper x is pretty hard to grow still, not likely soon

[lethal topaz]

they were both made by the same psychopath

of course pepper x is hotter

i think thats actually the low end of its readings

[edgy laurel]

Such a good article. https://www.headphonesty.com/2026/03/blind-tests-reveal-only-one-upgrade-matters/

[lethal topaz]

tldr?

[whole coral]

Yeah I saw a reading of 3,100,000 Scoville

[floral spear]

[whole coral]

Insane

[lethal topaz]

this picture goes hard af

love the greasy camera quality too

[livid flame]

Yknow Ando. I sometimes wonder if you’re on government payroll

[edgy laurel]

Over a number of decades, the only thing people can reliably hear a difference in has been speakers. Not cables, not amps, not DACs, not audio formats. Just speakers.

[floral spear]

He is he gets paid 90,000 rubles every week

[livid flame]

£40k a year isn’t bad I guess

[lethal topaz]

yes this sounds about right

but dammit im still gonna use FLAC and LDAC whenever i can

ill keep my placebo going

[livid flame]

You’ll get some flack for it

https://tenor.com/view/ba-dum-tsss-drum-band-gif-7320811

[edgy laurel]

Nice

[frank zealot]

that tracks

All of these should just be "no kidding"

[lethal topaz]

yeah reminds me of when learned that speaker wire supports lossless audio

since there is power running through it, speaker wire is pretty resistant to interference too

[devout ridge]

@topaz veldt Is it possible to run NVMe U.2 drives in the front of an Dell R640?

[edgy laurel]

Just savage

[pure garnet]

by audio formats you mean past a certain point right

[edgy laurel]

It’s in the image above

[shell void]

ive noticed that most people who obsess over music compression are using terrible headphones

[frank zealot]

literally anything that's CD-Audio quality, or equivilant is as much as you need.

[pure garnet]

yeah i'd agree with that

spotify low just sounds awful

[shell void]

oh god spotify low is only 24kb/s

[edgy laurel]

There will always be a way to go lower but this is assuming you have a floor set as a baseline. For that, yeah, tried and true CD quality

[pure garnet]

8 bit music

[frank zealot]

oh damn, poor meta (lololol)
https://www.cnbc.com/2026/03/18/meta-horizon-worlds-metaverse-vr.html

[shell void]

i dont think id be able to confidently distinguish 320kb/s from "lossless" on spotify in a blind test tbh

but i use lossless anyway because music files are small

[edgy laurel]

https://tenor.com/view/oh-no-oh-no-anyway-gif-18887547

[pure garnet]

i set it to low and

wow this is awful

[frank zealot]

256 or 320 VBR compressed files can be absolutely awesome quality.

[pure garnet]

apple music fans pushing how good lossless was for years while using airpods over bluetooth

[edgy laurel]

I wish I had some of the MP3’s I got from limewire back in the day

[frank zealot]

just downcode to 128kbps cbr mp3

[shell void]

okay it's time to watch invincible

see yall tomorrow

[frank zealot]

enjoy!

[devout ridge]

bro what the fuck, AI made LGA 3647 cpus go up in price

[topaz veldt]

Yes but you need the R740XD I think - you need the NVMe version

[topaz veldt]

Yup - do you need any? I have some

[devout ridge]

Yeah actually, what do you have?

[topaz veldt]

Let me check later - I might have some.... 1 sec

I have like 8 of these

they are cheap though

shit, very cheap

[low sorrel]

@topaz veldt i had to 1v2 clutch with my friend thristed

[devout ridge]

Yeah, 15usd on ebay

[topaz veldt]

Excellent raid

[topaz veldt]

Yeah fugg that just get them on ebay

[devout ridge]

That all you got as far as LGA3647 goes?

[topaz veldt]

I have 6248Rs but I am using them

[devout ridge]

Fair enough, i'll look into the newest pricing

I had a spreadsheet with specs and prices on ebay from a while ago, seems it's almost useless pricing wise

[civic reef]

Is ARC worth playing

[low sorrel]

YES

[devout ridge]

trying to find what makes the most sense pricing wise

[civic reef]

I am quite fond of extraction shooters but idk if this one is good

[civic reef]

Quite the response

[low sorrel]

YES

[devout ridge]

Theoretically with this cablery this should just work

[shell void]

oh the amazon page is finally up for the XG32UCWMG https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-XG32UCWMG-Early-Set-up/dp/B0F732KMQQ

i ordered one, itll arrive saturday

[low sorrel]

bro was getting roasted by my 8 year old cousins who decided to show up to my house randomly mid fight

[civic reef]

Oh cool, that's nice

[devout ridge]

Very nice, let me know how you like it

[shell void]

[steel stream]

🙏

[topaz veldt]

welllllll no exactly

[steel stream]

i gotta come to NY and rob you now

[shell void]

xd

[devout ridge]

Wait why not?

[shell void]

oh i need to get a vesa stand for my C4 42 now

i have no idea where i put the legs for it but those are terrible anyway

[topaz veldt]

you need an NVMe backplane

[shell void]

need a mafuckin pedestal stand

[topaz veldt]

and when you get an nvme backplane it needs some other shit

[devout ridge]

Ah got it, so it'd be better to spring for an R740xd with an NVMe backplane

[topaz veldt]

yeah if you don't already have an R740 make sure to get an NVMe chassis

if you do already have one thats not an NVMe XD, I don't konw that th emobos swap/etc.

Dell got super fucky in the last 3 gens

[devout ridge]

Yeah i don't have an R640/740 or anything

Just looking at buying a platform that supports optane

Mostly because i'm extremely curious what it's like using optane

[edgy laurel]

man they still don't get very bright, do they (relatively). I swear this obsession with thinness needs to end. Make em thicc with big-ass heatsinks. We don't have to look at the back!

[topaz veldt]

word yeah make sure to get an nvme chassis then

they tend to be R740XD

[devout ridge]

I mean Optane ddr4 dimms

[topaz veldt]

oh if you want optane ddr4 dimms only, all R740 should support

[devout ridge]

it's just R640/740 also supports NVMe, so i was looking into that as well

[topaz veldt]

got you

I just threw away 3 R740s 🙁

[shell void]

yeah the XG32UCWMG isnt tandem and it's not very bright

[frank zealot]

Logan Paul fuckin' made a movie using nothing but AI?

Oh god that's gonna be a disaster >.<

[devout ridge]

I already wanted an R640/740 for the DDR4 optane support, but since it also has versions that have NVMe support, i wanted to spring for that and be able to use that in addition to the optane

Probably using basic M.2 to U.2 adapter cards

[civic reef]

How do you think it'll run with a 5700 XT and 5600

[cosmic gazelle]

gee, thanks youtube

[reef lance]

https://old.reddit.com/r/nvidia/comments/1rxd0na/dlss_5_has_shown_that_discourse_is_dead/

God some people are actually pathetic. "Someone slightly disagrees with me over upscaling technology, time to try and dox and send death threats "

[devout ridge]

lol wtf, who actually buys this

[topaz veldt]

The NVMe chassis actually tend to be a little cheaper usually

[topaz veldt]

lol - I buy trays, and memory trays

[reef lance]

It's like the people who doxxed and sent death threats to that guy in the Helldivers community recently. There's a bunch of absolute mouth-breathing Neanderthals online. They're pathetic.

[brave panther]

cant you just 3d print em

[topaz veldt]

that'd be very expensive

[devout ridge]

looks like the 6230r is the best deal for LGA3647 rn

i like making an informed decision okay?

[shell void]

5090 💪

[edgy laurel]

good to see, so a little DLSS and i'm at my cap ezpz

[shell void]

yeah dlss quality should take you to your cap

[edgy laurel]

wtf 5080

[pure garnet]

remember that whole like 9070 xt is faster thing

that does not appear to be the case

[shell void]

and this is an AMD sponsored title xD

[edgy laurel]

9070xt vs 5070 argument is strong here for 5070. little slower but you get DLSS

[shell void]

at the end of the day youre just trolling yourself if you buy an inferior Radeon card for only a small savings

if you want to troll yourself then have at it

speaking of which there's a RTX 5070 instock for $600: https://www.walmart.com/ip/PNY-GeForce-RTX-5070-Overclocked-Triple-Fan-Graphics-DLSS-4-Video-Card/15371260951

[edgy laurel]

maybe..

i guess 3.7 stars isn't terrible

[shell void]

no way in hell

that's why i adjusted my post to $600 from the direct walmart seller xd

$600 is still the cheapest first party option atm

[fringe vigil]

4090 69fps WTF bro

[buoyant hedge]

Anyone know why my PC freaks out every time I put Minecraft in full screen mode? Like whenever I do it basically every animation and cursor movement stutters like crazy, and whenever I try to exit and enter full screen mode, it literally locks up my system for like 10 seconds before entering.

[fringe vigil]

I’m getting 5090 for CD

[buoyant hedge]

If I'm playing music, it also stops for those 10 seconds.

[edgy laurel]

send pics

[fringe vigil]

Of?

[manic niche]

any good free/affordable mic noice suppression/make more clear thingys?

cuz thanks to discord it sounds decent, but from the reviews of my mic (sure it may be the mixer? i think makin it sound ok) my mic should sound better

[edgy laurel]

thats 5080

[fringe vigil]

Oh yeah mb

122 for 5090 though

[manic niche]

why nerd emoji react me bruh?

[edgy laurel]

but thats not what you'll be etting in game, since you'll be using DLSS.

[manic niche]

what i do to u

[fringe vigil]

So more?

[edgy laurel]

yes.. lol

[fringe vigil]

We chilling

[buoyant hedge]

Would having 2 monitors with 2 different referesh rates be causing this?

[fringe vigil]

Have you bought it

[turbid locust]

wtf is Crimson Desert where do these games pop up from

[manic niche]

i personally never use full screen cuz of this weird delay.
