[fringe vigil]

lets get it

[turbid locust]

Crimson desert does look cool

[shell void]

timmy just put out an optimization video for it

[shell void]

the game has some visual problems like noise and low draw distance

and getting noticeably blurrier when using upscaling

oh and enabling ray reconstruction annihilates performance

[topaz veldt]

People are blaming the DRM shit

@shell void

Forgot this board had 10 GbE

[turbid locust]

hmmmmm

[livid flame]

I thought crimson desert was going to be a 12 out of 10 AAAA game by the way all the articles being thrown on social media are going

Saw some article claiming their game engine decision was peak for visual performance as opposed to using UE5

So it’s not well optimised for DLSS Michael?

[brisk jolt]

overhyped game?

[topaz veldt]

Anyone think people would be interested in buying an ASUS X670E Hero?

[brisk jolt]

Im sure they would if its bundled with a CPU tbh I just dont see anybody buying it ala carte

[topaz veldt]

Hm good point

[shell void]

the game gets noticeably blurrier (including textures too) when you lower render res

it’s intended to be played at 2160p

and there’s no viable raster fallback, you need to use ray tracing

which is noisy without ray reconstruction which forces you into using max lighting that kills performance

[pure garnet]

were those cinematic preset screenshots for yesterday rt

[heavy spire]

Solid board, not sure what kind of price you'd get for it. Premium "last" gen can be a tough sell

[topaz veldt]

The funny part is that it supports more NVMe and every current CPU/memory combo than current boards

[pure garnet]

do i need a 6th am5 board

[shell void]

idk it’s kinda antiquated

[brisk jolt]

why does kyoko already have 5 am5 boards

[shell void]

[topaz veldt]

Its sucha solid baord

[shell void]

it looks nice in that photo

[pure garnet]

b650e-f (sold)
x870 tomahawk
b850 mpower
b850 mlg
so it’d be the 5th one

[shell void]

the only complaint that i have with it is that the U.2 port is a chipset connection instead of CPU

it would’ve been nice to have direct CPU for optane

[heavy spire]

Yeah, the USB4 implementation on current boards is just lazy in most cases and messes with PCIe lanes, last gen boards have better layouts

[shell void]

that’s a non problem on actual current boards released in late 2025 / early 2026

everyone has copied MSI and lets you disable rear USB4 to get a second cpu nvme

including asus with the x870e dark hero and presumably x870e glacial although i haven’t checked the latter

[nova patrol]

its march 19th tho

[heavy spire]

Right, guess they updated the boards. Havent paid too much attention to it lately

[brisk jolt]

average AMD L:

[turbid locust]

Happens to us all

[brisk jolt]

stupidly enough the best itx am5 board is still the x670e-i strix just because it has a tb4 controller lmao

[brisk jolt]

FUCK you’re reading my mind to getting yet another am5 board

[shell void]

i have resisted the mind virus and stuck to my ugly x870 tomahawk that works

[pure garnet]

that works

[turbid locust]

MSI B650 Pro-P
Asrock B650 HDV
Asus X670E Gene
MSI B850M Mpower

just 4 for me but I’m sure there will be a 5th

[brisk jolt]

X870 Steel Legend
B650I Edge
B850Mpower
considering a gigglebutt board next for aesthetic or another ITX board for the velka

velka is more likely to go lga1954

[shell void]

SHIP IT!!

[heavy spire]

Wanted to get a new board as well but figured I'd just wait for whatever next gen board AMD comes out with next and just build this thing instead

[shell void]

glorious mora

[heavy spire]

Need to get another grill for it

[brisk jolt]

i somehow resisted the urge to get the xg

[brisk jolt]

toughest 2 hours of my life

[shell void]

imagine if the xx90 class becomes a waterblock only option in a couple gens due to rising heat output

like there are no air cooled options

[heavy spire]

Guess I'm prepared for that now

The new mora versions are surprisingly easy to build

[shell void]

7090 1200W TGP with two connectors and waterblock only

[brisk jolt]

got this for free

[wraith steeple]

The integrated fan splitters are worth it over the 3 alone

[brisk jolt]

lowk… i wouldnt mind getting a 420mm AIO version if anybody does one

[heavy spire]

Cant find the pic I took of the front, but went with this setup

[devout ridge]

mora VI 400, so pretty

[shell void]

that would be metal

[wraith steeple]

I have the 3 420 LT. Lots of MO-RA3 owners would use a D5 Next mainly for the fan hub for the fans

[brisk jolt]

the 90FE is hanging on for its life under full load xd

||mora deez nutz||

[devout ridge]

[pure garnet]

i was going to get that then i’d need a new psu so i had to settle for a 7070

[brisk jolt]

HAHAHA

[edgy laurel]

dunno about that. my x670e uses a jerry-rigged Thunderbolt controller with the name scratched off and sucks up 4x CPU lanes

and doesn't let me use them for something else

[heavy spire]

[shell void]

XD

[pure garnet]

asrock

[brisk jolt]

“i was thinking of grabbing a 5060ti cyclone for a very small ITX build but good flex psus are expensive and hard to find so i decided to grab a laptop”

[heavy spire]

Was looking at D5 next a while ago for that reason, but didnt pull the trigger on it

[steel stream]

@shell void how much is rtings monthly again?

[heavy spire]

Think I've set up 4 different mora shopping carts over the years, but when I saw the new 400 I went with that

[edgy laurel]

mora mentioned and bassbone isn't here. a tragedy

[heavy spire]

Scroll up a bit

[edgy laurel]

[pure garnet]

fiending for the oled reviews

[steel stream]

https://tenor.com/view/is-it-gif-20766212

legit might be my first monthly subscription outside of apple music

[pure garnet]

i just nuked a bunch

[shell void]

i have no idea

i probably have some subscriptions that i forgot about

[pure garnet]

i keep them in an excel spreadsheet

so i know what im paying for

[steel stream]

could you potentially send a screenshot of the G5 + C4 42 HDR color volume sections?

[brisk jolt]

How many subscriptions does everyone have here

[steel stream]

1

[edgy laurel]

speaking of TV's I'm finding this picture hilarious. I guess if you really love your TV and have a toddler, its warranted.

[brisk jolt]

i thought i was gonna be sleek with also 1 smh

[pure garnet]

2

[steel stream]

if I have a TV as nice as the G5 in the future, and a toddler, there's going to be bullet proof glass around it tbh

[wraith steeple]

https://shop.watercool.de/MO-RA-IV-Passive-Control-600_1 Watercool has this that you would use for the pumps and fans for the A20s

[pure garnet]

i have my nitro for emojis and final fantasy is 18.99 a month for the sub i have

[wraith steeple]

And they're working on an active controller version though.... Watercool is sort of known for being a little late on things

[heavy spire]

Speaking of TVs, saw that the new LG's are up to 165hz now. I guess thats DSC territory?

[heavy spire]

Didnt they announce that like ages ago?

[turbid locust]

Is it?

[steel stream]

I dont think so

[wraith steeple]

https://shop.watercool.de/MO-RA-IV-Active-Control-600_1
Yep still says coming soon

[steel stream]

my G5 is 165, and I don't think I used DSC

[heavy spire]

Ah ok ok

[shell void]

yeah

[shell void]

yes

[steel stream]

hmm maybe it is

sorry hoofie I lied

[heavy spire]

[pure garnet]

we need a displayport on the tvs

[shell void]

G5 brutally mogs

[steel stream]

I love HDMI no one can take it from me

[steel stream]

thanks boss, I owe you one

[topaz veldt]

now we need moar

[heavy spire]

You spent time looking it up, which is appreciated

[edgy laurel]

I like this site now, its prettier

[cosmic gazelle]

@turbid locust @edgy laurel i don’t exactly think this corecycler mode is doing much

i still have 2 cores that passed an hour of yc each at -50 which is obviously not realistic

[steel stream]

which one is this? i just have the LTT site bookmarked

[edgy laurel]

https://trychen.com/feature/video-bandwidth

[heavy spire]

I've seen quite a few Ryzens do -50 on some cores, so its not completely out of the picture

[cosmic gazelle]

really? seems unlikely but maybe

[turbid locust]

I mean if it scales it scales it’s just unlikely that it’s not just lower frequency atp

[edgy laurel]

switch to a different test from within CC and see if anything changes? Aida FPU as @pure garnet mentioned?

[heavy spire]

I can do -50 on all cores on mine at +200 for benchmarks and casual games, but it crashes after a while. These days I just run -30 but I got a few cores that handles -50 just fine

[pure garnet]

i passed corecycler with ridiculous offsets

[cosmic gazelle]

i was going to do that but the documentation makes aida sound like not worth the effort

[pure garnet]

then i opened aida

[cosmic gazelle]

i’m honestly just gonna go back to manually min/maxing my offsets because this seems fake

[edgy laurel]

oh, that you need the portable engineer build and put the files somewhere

[pure garnet]

could also just >open it

[cosmic gazelle]

like i can practically guarantee you if i ran any multi core stress test with there settings my shit would nuclear explode

[brisk jolt]

test both prime95 and aida64 1-2hrs each core

[turbid locust]

My 9850X3D crashes R23 at -30 all core

[topaz veldt]

which makes sense

[turbid locust]

suppose pre binned silicon doesn’t have much play

[topaz veldt]

well... its already doing more

[brisk jolt]

im gonna try -20 all core on my 9950x3d xd

[turbid locust]

Ya

does -20 like a champ and scales well with it

[topaz veldt]

yeah

[cosmic gazelle]

like, i have my worst core at -15 on core cycler that i KNOW can’t handle -15 and it hasn’t crashed once

lmao

[pure garnet]

i still don’t really see the point of per core co when it takes eons to validate

[topaz veldt]

i think people do it out of boredom

[turbid locust]

Especially when CO does very little for single core

[topaz veldt]

also.... they tend to only do it on 6 and 8 core CPUs - per core CO tuning on a 16 core is hell

[cosmic gazelle]

once again i am extremely gpu limited and dont care about what its actually doing for me. I just like seeing cinebench score get bigger

[brisk jolt]

lets beat mac up on r23 with our inflated core counts kyoko

[heavy spire]

Its annoying when you get good cores that cant do more than -15 or so. Baseline VID and power usage is super low, but it messes up CO allcore so you gotta waste time with corecyclers and whatnot

[turbid locust]

For context, in my testing last night, I had <3% gain between 0 CO and -30 for single core

[pure garnet]

so just rip out more all core then?

[fringe vigil]

Hoof

[pure garnet]

i can run r23 at -30

[cosmic gazelle]

overclocking the voltage offset on an emphysema patient’s breathing machine

[turbid locust]

and now that i calculated it, same for 0 vs -20 in all core lol

[cosmic gazelle]

we have established that my weakest core crashes r23 at -15

[fringe vigil]

[pure garnet]

scrapyard bin

[cosmic gazelle]

microcenter bin

[pure garnet]

bundle bin

[turbid locust]

the only significant change I noticed was between -10 and -20, temps dropped 7C in an all core load

[topaz veldt]

my 9850X3D is just set PBO enabled, all core CO -15 and I just live my life

[turbid locust]

same but -20

[pure garnet]

-15 +200 since i’m on the base model

[heavy spire]

same but -30

[topaz veldt]

yeah 9850X3D doesn't like +200 and any appreciable CO

[cosmic gazelle]

bros on the honda civic SE fr

[turbid locust]

I’m on -20 +150 now

[pure garnet]

every honda civic is a base model

[brisk jolt]

rendered useless you now need to get the pity bin 9850x3d

[topaz veldt]

I think I have a high bin 9850X3D

[turbid locust]

bro is insanely jelly

[topaz veldt]

Mac I never checked SP on this new board

[pure garnet]

hold on lemme blow decent v8 money on a pre riced civic

[cosmic gazelle]

it’s honestly a blessing i don’t have a 5090 or something because id be so pissed that my cpu is a mac bin

[fervent chasm]

I still don’t know the AMD naming scheme for their CPUs

[turbid locust]

Setsuna bin*

[pure garnet]

if he stopped buying tray cpus with no return policy maybe he’d get something that isn’t scam tier

[turbid locust]

if it changes between boards is it even a reliable performance indicator

[steel stream]

you can lie to others, but you can't lie to yourself Mac

[turbid locust]

as soon as you guys get an 8200MT/s 2200fclk sample lmk

[topaz veldt]

it usually stays but i didn't check

[pure garnet]

bro said 8200

[cosmic gazelle]

i think the solution here is to set a 5775c to 1.5vcore and see how high the ring frequency can be set before it physically explodes

[heavy spire]

Didnt you have an ultra bad 7700x? Is Setsuna bin worse than that?

[cosmic gazelle]

what are our thoughts here

[livid flame]

https://tenor.com/view/duck-balance-animal-gif-21807391

[pure garnet]

setsuna can’t get 7800 working

[topaz veldt]

yo where did our 5800X @ 1.9v 4.8 GHz all core go

[turbid locust]

I think he had one worse yeah

[pure garnet]

in a mpower

[heavy spire]

oof

[topaz veldt]

remember that dude who wanted to give us a clinic

[cosmic gazelle]

what 😭

[edgy laurel]

out for blood with that one, nice

[brisk jolt]

my tray CPUs actually have return policies just that its within a week and the trays actually come with warranty by distributor- not from AMD themselves

[turbid locust]

yeah my absolute dogshit 7700x did 7800 lol

[cosmic gazelle]

isn’t 4.8 like, not even that crazy for a 5800x

[pure garnet]

my 7800x3d is like junk for cores and still did 8000

[topaz veldt]

@fringe vigil https://youtu.be/SxidYFBKDQo?si=9p5nmY9a1XrE2Q9U&t=403

[brisk jolt]

nah 7800 actually works now

[cosmic gazelle]

https://tenor.com/view/azerbaijan-gif-3519365775784923898

[brisk jolt]

just that 7800c36 is the max it can do

[pure garnet]

i should try the 9800x3d in the mpower one day because it boots 8400 without a care in the world on auto

[turbid locust]

Don’t you have a chip that needs like 1.27vsoc for 6000

[topaz veldt]

there was a dude who was high on chatgpt and wanted to do an "AMA" on OC and was running like a million volts on a 5800X on a PA120

[topaz veldt]

MF Guilty is archive.org of Discord

[fringe vigil]

W

[brisk jolt]

that was another dude i stated who needed that for 6kc36

[turbid locust]

So does mine but good luck getting it stable

[edgy laurel]

if its memorable and happens here, I must record it

[cosmic gazelle]

i have used ai stuff as a partial resource but it is seriously risky and tells you completely wrong shit all the time so you have to run everything it tells you by a real person before proceeding kinda

[pure garnet]

well on the loong nia i’d need an EE degree

[cosmic gazelle]

did he say 107c bruh

[pure garnet]

2ns from greatness

[edgy laurel]

oh it only got better and better

[turbid locust]

From what I’ve seen so far, each Ryzen chip has like a specific PU and PD resistance that they fuck with

[pure garnet]

bro i set it to 5.0 in the bios 😭

[topaz veldt]

that shit will clock downzo

[brisk jolt]

i remember this clown from kamen rider build frfr

[cosmic gazelle]

like my 5800x was also practically running at 107c but it’s not like i was proud of it

[pure garnet]

not with aspm disabled it shouldn’t

[brisk jolt]

https://tenor.com/view/kamen-rider-banjo-build-clown-cross-z-gif-20834514

and it never goes back up

[turbid locust]

Just MSI things

[steel stream]

this dude got banned right

[pure garnet]

how much for the hero

[topaz veldt]

oh shit did he

[turbid locust]

Anyways I’m going to revisit my 7700x soon and see if it’s truly dogshit or if it was the HDV being the problem for gear 2

[edgy laurel]

posted 8 days ago, maybe not?

[brisk jolt]

funny thing is i updated mpower bios and my chip went from not booting 7800 to actually getting few hours in before I decided “this aint worth my time”

[heavy spire]

HDV can be finicky, thats for sure. Usually better for 7000 than 9000 though

[turbid locust]

My 7700x only saw a random MSI 4 dimmer and the HDV

All my other chips have seen my nice boards lol

[steel stream]

fuck

[turbid locust]

drinking black coffee cause I’m fasting and ts is kinda wack

straight dirty bean water

[edgy laurel]

pinch of salt. small pinch

[whole coral]

I actually tried salt in coffee

Actually kinda tastes better to me

[cosmic gazelle]

there are certain coffees that don’t taste so icky black but some good coffees just aren’t black-able imo

[edgy laurel]

if it tastes salty, you overdid it

[turbid locust]

Will try it next time I just finished the cup

[topaz veldt]

i got you on that

[turbid locust]

I was being hyperbolic it tasted like coffee lol

[topaz veldt]

salt is the hack you didn't see coming

[heavy spire]

Intermittent or multiple days?

[turbid locust]

3 days

[heavy spire]

Ah ok

[brisk jolt]

if you want the best of the best setsunabin my 9800x3d couldnt post 7400

[cosmic gazelle]

bro is fasting to please the gear 2 gods

[steel stream]

dude I had breakfast at 8 and Im already hungry

[heavy spire]

Usually what I do as well whenever I feel like being hungry for a while

Think 4 days is my max

[turbid locust]

It’s actually kinda amazing how not hungry you think you are lmao

[brisk jolt]

3 days straight? I might try sometime tbh

[turbid locust]

This is the first time I’ve fasted for more than like intermittent intervals and like

[cosmic gazelle]

i don’t have ram that can even do 7000 so i can’t test, but something tells me my chip can’t do 8k lol

[brisk jolt]

after like 2 hours you arent hungry anymore tbh

[turbid locust]

9/10 times if I feel hungry I’m literally just thirsty

[brisk jolt]

chips bin chips bin

[cosmic gazelle]

are you drinking salt water like a million times a day, that’s what i did to stave off the headaches

[fringe vigil]

https://tenor.com/view/hmm-squint-chicken-gif-3745278061410768328

[turbid locust]

I’m 38 hours into the 72 hour fast

[whole coral]

Btw for people with high blood pressure issues don’t do this

[steel stream]

i need my calories

[whole coral]

Salt obviously makes things worse

[heavy spire]

I usually get the electrolyte packs that you mix with water when Im fasting

[turbid locust]

yeah with pink Himalayan salt. Gots to get them minerals

[heavy mantle]

even from water too?

[cosmic gazelle]

i’m an exercise scientist, you are completely wrong and this is dangerous advice

[turbid locust]

no you’d die LMAO

[cosmic gazelle]

people with hypertension still need sodium

[steel stream]

coward

[heavy mantle]

i was about to say

[brisk jolt]

fasting for long hours is like having a twin turbo setup but the smaller one is not working

[whole coral]

Well yeah

I should’ve meant excess though

[steel stream]

@Mac Linux fasting challenge. You must use Linux, but you're not allowed food or water the whole time

[turbid locust]

Honestly my buddy was right, first 24 hours is the hardest. I was really hungry yesterday. Today I wake up and have a bottle of water and coffee and I’m chillin lmao

[edgy laurel]

ehem, thats a sequential turbo setup 🥸

[brisk jolt]

dead even before he started

[cosmic gazelle]

and also sodium intake is very weakly tied to hypertension based on recently collected data, if you have hypertension you’re either way too stressed or fat most of the time

or both

[turbid locust]

I was told to be really careful my first meal after the fast though

[steel stream]

isn't that just your body starting to breakdown fat reserves

[turbid locust]

Ketosis baby WOOOO

[heavy spire]

I remember day 4 was pretty chill when I did that, hunger was mostly gone. Only reason I stopped was because I had food that was expiring

[cosmic gazelle]

yeah i’ve heard you really like react like you have food poisoning unless you ease into it

[brisk jolt]

your body has fully transitioned to burning the fats for energy instead

[turbid locust]

yeah my plan is like a light sammich

[steel stream]

refeeding syndrome that's the word for it

[cosmic gazelle]

not really, your body starts doing this like 6-12 hours after your last meal and uses fat as an energy source any time you aren’t exercising. Mac’s brain has just sent so many hunger signals that it’s essentially stopped trying

[steel stream]

ah got it

[steel stream]

you need a steak

[whole coral]

You would need to be hungry/starving for a long time for refeeding syndrome to be a concern

Like if you were malnourished

[leaden dawn]

So thats what happens when i forget to eat

[steel stream]

4000 calorie meal

[cosmic gazelle]

please do not listen to anything this guy says bro

[heavy spire]

I usually get a pack of ham with some mayo and eat a few slices of that, or an egg or 2 for my first meal, then move over to actual food some hours later

[steel stream]

just ham and mayo? no bread?

[heavy spire]

Yeh, just to get the system going again

Bread is probably fine as well, just make sure its not more than 1 slice or something

Super light meal

[steel stream]

oh after fasting, i thought this was your breakfast or smth lol

[heavy spire]

Yeah lol

[brisk jolt]

500 cigarettes ✅

[heavy spire]

Its crazy how good food tastes after fasting though

[shell void]

this with panther lake would be awesome

Good luck with that! Its gonna be a hungry, low energy experience the first few days so keep yourself hydrated and salty if you do a lot of physical work

I certainly would buy the Neo over my gaming laptop that has significantly worse battery life + lags when unplugged

Although downsides would be soldered RAM and memory

[whole coral]

Also no fans but who cares if your not a heavy gamer or work user

[hoary hatch]

I'd still buy a 15" MacBook air but I'm glad the neo exists

[brisk jolt]

i wouldnt buy a neo if you want to use a specsheet for a laptop fr

[whole lake]

makes sense

[whole coral]

Really I just use my gaming laptop 99% of the time for work or entertainment

[topaz veldt]

Apple Neo + Geforce Now

[whole coral]

Yes I shouldn’t have bought it but impulse buying lmao

[brisk jolt]

oh jeez

[turbid locust]

Really impressed ngl

[hoary hatch]

Actually apple make a 17" air you cowards

[turbid locust]

Feels great, I do feel the size though

[edgy laurel]

test. the. hinge.

My mom has a M4 MacBook air and it’s great

She used to have an Intel 2017 MacBook Air. Man it would get hot

[turbid locust]

My mom has some HP ass HP

She barely understands windows

No way I can teach her macOS

damn. maintaining that premium feel for the price is wild

I have like 13 apps open and a game

[topaz veldt]

yeah people shit on the 8GB Apple shit but it like... does it

Are you using a best buy demo one or did you buy one

[turbid locust]

Apple Store

[edgy laurel]

its almost like half of memory management is intelligent software

[hoary hatch]

I assume they do not have Adobe apps on it

[turbid locust]

Nah but they do have Microsoft office apps

All of which I have open

[hoary hatch]

Can I send you a 4gb csv

Open that on the neo

[turbid locust]

If it’s air droppable maybe lmao

I’m not signing into anything on this

[edgy laurel]

how does one even come about a 4GB CSV

[topaz veldt]

[hoary hatch]

Excel caps out at like 10 million lines or something sadge

[turbid locust]

I opened literally every app on the bar at the bottom and I had a 7GB spike but down to 6.5GB now

Tbh m5 15" air with 1tb SSD upgrade would be my laptop for the next 10 years

but x reviewer who wants to drive a specsheet say bad so it must be bad!11

[whole coral]

There’s still M1 MacBook Airs that perform well in 2026. Wild.

It’s been 6 years since their release

[edgy laurel]

it would be weird to have a phone and a laptop with the same SoC (i have a 16ProMax)

[turbid locust]

Pic doesn’t do it justice but this is probably the nicest non-OLED screen I’ve seen

[whole coral]

I do hope Apple goes OLED for their MacBooks Pro’s though

[edgy laurel]

almost worst case scenario lighting too

[edgy laurel]

gotta happen with M6, they have the tech in iPad already

[turbid locust]

Real

[whole coral]

Yes. Tandem OLED

Love double stacked OLED

[turbid locust]

7GB ram playing 4K video with a bunch of shit open

[hoary hatch]

On the neo? Have you seen literally any other apple laptop screen

[turbid locust]

Not really tbh

Not a Mac guy (lol)

[edgy laurel]

they're pretty much all good, thats what the PPI and glossy coating does lol

[hoary hatch]

Go look at the MBP screen
120hz 1600nits peak 2000(+?) dimming zones

Better color space

[whole coral]

My only downside with miniLED is potential blooming with extreme contrasts

OLED does better in that regard

[hoary hatch]

It's a trade off

Mini led can get a lot brighter

[whole coral]

True

Although Tandem OLED can get pretty bright as well. But it’s different OLED display architecture

[turbid locust]

Why does the 13” air look bigger than the 13” Neo

[turbid locust]

Ok this is fire

just 4 grand is all

[turbid locust]

13.6” vs 13” is why

anyways on some real shit the Neo is good

[shell void]

[turbid locust]

word

[shell void]

still 3x the price of a Neo which is rough but it's a fire laptop

[turbid locust]

Is it better than 3 Neo’s?

yeah lol

I think a 15” Neo for slightly more money would be an insta buy for me

With that being said, may still pick up a Neo sometime soon.

[shell void]

this could be the play

it just kills me that only the Pro has 120Hz

[turbid locust]

yeah lol but ima be for real 60Hz does not bother me on a mobile device

[shell void]

what colors of the neo did they have on display?

[turbid locust]

All of em

[shell void]

oh fire

[turbid locust]

The citrus is stupid lmao

[shell void]

youre buggin

[turbid locust]

it looks so out of place

[shell void]

my friend in the monitor discord is thinking about ordering a pink one

[turbid locust]

Pink was cool, reminds me of the old Rose Gold iPhones

[edgy laurel]

blush

[shell void]

id probably just do the classic silver in a base model $500 from edu store if i bought one

[turbid locust]

But yeah guilty if you were looking at a Neo, I’d buy.

It’s basically a baby Air

And I could not max the ram

[turbid locust]

I think I’d want the indigo

[shell void]

im sure id be fine with the chip and ram because i used to multi task on my iphone 13 pro max all day which is slower than the neo

it's just the 60Hz that kills it for me, but i already have an og macbook pro so it's fine

[edgy laurel]

I'm in the same boat you are. Not having a second PC now just started to bug me and it would be cool to have one that I can pickup and take with me

[turbid locust]

Not gonna lie I didn’t notice the 60Hz until I looked at the Pro

It just fr doesn’t bother me on a mobile device idk why

[edgy laurel]

I wanna lookup battery life. Its gotta be great, right? The battery is massive

[shell void]

that's the one major flaw of the Neo so if it doesnt bother you then youre in luck

[turbid locust]

120Hz is nice but not a dealbreaker for me on a laptop

[shell void]

the battery is tiny, but the chip maxes out at 8W, and only sustains like 4W so it lasts almost as long as an Air

[edgy laurel]

well, its massive for the SoC its powering but its also a much larger screen than an iPhone

[turbid locust]

Zip Tie Tech’s video said theirs went 19 hours video playback

iirc

[topaz veldt]

"Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Jensen the Wise? I thought not. It's not a story Chat GPT would tell you. It's a Gamer legend. Darth Jensen... was a Dark Lord of the Chips so powerful and so wise, he could use the silicon to influence the market... to create... a monopoly. He had such a knowledge of the dark side, he could even keep the stocks he cared about... crashing. The dark side of the silicon is a pathway to many abilities... some consider to be unnatural. He became so powerful, the only thing he was afraid of was... losing his power. Which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his AI model everything he knew. Then his LLM sexbot killed him in his sleep. It's ironic. He could save others from crashing, but not himself."

Go to flush the toilet just before trying to plunge it again and it magically flushes suddenly. I don't fucking know anymore.

The doctor is saying my cholesterol is elevated

Statins are usually given for people 40 and above

My LDL cholesterol is 156 which isn’t great

[steel stream]

[steel stream]

I drink one 11.5 oz Arizona with dinner usually

they've got a diet version but it don't taste right

[whole coral]

I usually have milk for dinner

[shell void]

trying to instantly give up all soda forever is unsustainable and unnecessary when zero sugar options exist

[young void]

I used to just do 2-3 whole Milk cups for protein if I didnt have whey, but protein drinks can be rough to if chalky, otherwise id force down 1-2 of those a day as well

[wraith steeple]

Tea and milk especially in mornings

[young void]

And then eat dinner and by then under calories, high protein worked wonders but have to do it lol uhgggggg yada yada rada rada

[cosmic gazelle]

LDL is pretty irrelevant btw we have data to support this

if you are concerned about lipid profile apoB will tell you if you need to adjust your diet

[steel stream]

I just do one protein drink a day, it's like 40g of protein I think

[shell void]

why is twitter putting random political posts in my following feed? what a dogshit platform

elon doesn’t even try to hide the fact that he uses this platform to propagandize people

[young void]

Muscle milks are good but kinda spendy and alot less chalky then whey they have a higher protein bottle thats about 40g used to be solid. Liked the chocolate and strawberry

I have to say my recovery heart rate after cardio isn’t as good anymore

[young void]

To be sure i understand a gang recruited you lol? Or tried

[steel stream]

i also liked those metrx bars, I also used to get those for free and that was a cheat code for bulking, but they;re too expensive to buy personally

[sharp heart]

recruited???????? what the f

[young void]

Is that what is was?

[sharp heart]

NO?

[cosmic gazelle]

as someone who tried this it is so infinitely better to try to bulk off of less processed things

[sharp heart]

sorry, it was one of those speaking things

[cosmic gazelle]

they’re not horrible but they’re not great either

[reef lance]

Nicotine addiction is such a bitch. Good job, stay off that shit. Not worth going back to regardless of how good a drag sounds.

this was when I was in the dorms, so on top of my dining plan, I could essentially get two free core powers or met rx bars a day, so tacking those ontop of the dining plan meals was huge

I'm so mixed on the DLSS 5 thing. I think some of the reactions are overblown, but it also was a shitty tech demo in a lot of ways. Crazy that they were using two 5090s to run it, though. My theory is that poor Jensen has realized that now that they got rid of SLI they're really hurting for cash so now they want you to buy two GPUs. One for running games and the other dedicated for DLSS, like how you can do with Lossless Scaling. Of course Jensen can't let you use any old second GPU, no. You MUST have two of the same GPU. Can't have the peasents thinking they can buy a 5090 for gaming and a 5050 for DLSS rendering, it must be two of the same GPU like SLI.

[whole coral]

Yes

[cosmic gazelle]

there is no size that will ever be big enough for me so i figure why not just try and get as big as possible and compete

i’m the same height and 225 is my regular walking around weight lol

[green marsh]

realistically, no. In 1 year, i went from 98kg (216 lbs) to 81.3kg (179.2 lbs), and that includes switching to drinking water with syrup with sugar replacement, cutting back on portion sizes etc. 177cm (5'10") height

@steel stream risk of rain 2 has been acquired

[steel stream]

Hey, fuckers, that's the exact email I just gave you 1500$ with. The fuck you mean, unable to verify?

[arctic bronze]

i found an easy way, eating sunflower seeds, the ones with the shells really helps lower my snackyness

[arctic bronze]

I do sugar free water flavor packets and that keeps me from drinking soda

[arctic bronze]

sunflower seeds takes a little bit of time to break it open to eat the seed and its low calories and keeps me occupied during the day since its enough to not make me feel hungry

@whole coral

they are not that expensive either

there is also many flavors too

my favorite is the ranch and dill pickle

[brisk jolt]

good to know ig

[arctic bronze]

your poor liver

[brisk jolt]

he explained its not the liver that suffers but the kidneys and gi tract

[whole coral]

GI tract makes sense

NSAIDS can cause stomach ulcers and in general your gut can be upset

[brisk jolt]

disables the immune system which controls mucus which affects the gi tract and ulcers develop, ulcers bleed and lead to kidney failure 💀

[edgy laurel]

whats a water packet

[arctic bronze]

water flavor packets, I forgot to add "flavor"

[edgy laurel]

ohh. i was imagining water in pouches

[steel stream]

the future is now, we no longer need water bottles

[edgy laurel]

some MRE shit or something

[pure garnet]

after looking at new motherboards at best buy my mlg felt threatened and went back to pcie 5.0

i guess we just gonna live with it

[frank zealot]

water in edible bags does exist

https://www.notpla.com/ooho

[edgy laurel]

was just looking at that. fucking tidepods have gone too far

the worlds most boring gusher

[mortal isle]

Hello

[frank zealot]

[edgy laurel]

what are those little bubbles you can get in teas with the juice in them. I HATE the outer layer getting stuck in my teeth before it disolves. This is just so much more of it

[frank zealot]

[frank zealot]

Boba

[mortal isle]

I love linuscatips

[edgy laurel]

i thought boba was tapioca only but i guess not

[frank zealot]

Original boba pearls are just Tapioca Balls

The fruit juice ones are a different kinda aminal, and really nummy

[mortal isle]

Guys How i am getting 60fps on ultra beamng drive on a potato pc lol

[pure garnet]

dude they're asking me for so much info just to tell me it's my fault

[edgy laurel]

we'll just use our powers of telepathy to read your mind for the PC specs and display resolution (and game settings, for that matter)

[frank zealot]

BeamNG is CPU-intensive, from what I recall, and how many "NPCs" are around can heavily impact FPS

[whole coral]

Nice to see that performance hasn’t dropped after years of usage

[mortal isle]

Yeah gonna tell my specs resolution and all that, rx 580 4GB i3 9100, 32gb ddr4 h310m 1080p resolution and stock ultra graphics

[mortal isle]

i tried on ultra with npcs i got 12 traffic cars running at 40fps

on utah a smaller map

[frank zealot]

There's how

fewer NPCs = more FPS

[mortal isle]

https://tenor.com/view/ishowspeed-nodding-nod-yes-fortnite-gif-6620789258176886532

[frank zealot]

Beam isn't GPU intensive, it's all about the CPU

and it doesn't use a lot of threads, from what I remember

so a 4 thread chip does okay in it

[mortal isle]

true, but damn i am at the limit not even in the minimum specs on the cpu only 4 cores and 4 thread's is low

4 threads gonna be fine but 4 cores is pretty low in 2026

[brisk jolt]

if im not wrong each “AI” uses 1 core is what i heard

[mortal isle]

Oh damn then my 4 cores playing with 12 npcs is something lol

[frank zealot]

might well be true

[pure garnet]

read this back

[mortal isle]

Okay okay probably 4 threads in 2026 is pretty bad.

[steel stream]

march madness bracket already busted

[pure garnet]

i have sent a ticket into msi, hopefully they can help sort out this bios issue

[turbid locust]

what issue

[frank zealot]

4 threads is worse than 4 cores honestly

[pure garnet]

my pcie generation randomly downgrading without any reason to

i have aspm disabled so it should be fixed at 5.0x16

it's just been randomly locking to 3.0x16

[turbid locust]

womp

[fringe vigil]

look at this view bro

[mortal isle]

yeah that's true, and even the i7 980 had 4 cores and 8 threads like what was intel smoking in 2019 lol

[turbid locust]

I’ll check my mpower later

[pure garnet]

if you have aspm on it shouldn't do it

[frank zealot]

10100, 12100, 13100, and 14100 are all 4c, but 8t

[mortal isle]

yeah i know and the ghz are pretty good

so is way better at gaming then this i3 9100

[whole coral]

Awesome lol

Highest GPU score just now

[mortal isle]

i want to upgrade but i am in a budget i found a i5 8500 at 40$ i remember and i don't know if is a good deal

[cosmic gazelle]

4 modern fast cores is still better than like, a ryzen 7 1700

[pure garnet]

you know the clockspeed itself isn't that important of a metric right

[cosmic gazelle]

sue me

[cosmic gazelle]

yes it is because if i do an 8700k under ln2 i can hit 6.7 ghz which is funny

[mortal isle]

yup is true and i know it because i watched the legend https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8QOoQWvrQ-Y&t=318s&pp=ygURZ2h6IGRvc2VudCBtYXR0ZXI%3D

[cosmic gazelle]

DAYUM

7340 is crazy i wonder what all core is

[mortal isle]

that's a lot of heat lol

[cosmic gazelle]

i mean a lot of cool more like

[whole coral]

I wonder how high up iphone CPU clock speeds can go

[pure garnet]

yeah that was probably ran at like -110c

[whole coral]

It’s currently at 4 GHz

[frank zealot]

... Z270 chipset?

Z270 was 7th gen, not 8th

wtf

[cosmic gazelle]

you can write on a couple contacts with sharpie

[devout ridge]

any of yall have experience with vectorworks, i just got my license and i'm trying to figure out where the hell to start

[mortal isle]

well i don't know with phones that much i just play some beamng and some pc games on my phone and that's about it

[edgy laurel]

No, but if there is anything we know, Ando will be an expert, probably

that was for @devout ridge lol

[devout ridge]

I have a sneaking suspicion that Ando is an expert in nothing, yet claims the opposite

[edgy laurel]

ok I didn't mean any ill will

[cosmic gazelle]

that’s ridiculous how could you accuse him of such a thing

[devout ridge]

i didn't even realize who yall were talking about

[mortal isle]

The sad phone

[cosmic gazelle]

lmao

[mortal isle]

running ultra graphics on my phone lol

and is still working somehow

[devout ridge]

i can count the pixels on those textures

[cosmic gazelle]

phone graphics have been good enough to run pc games for a few years now, it’s just that most games fundamentally don’t work on ARM

but you can load pc games through a translation layer on android now it appears

[mortal isle]

Yeah because is 480p😭🙏

[frank zealot]

it's BeamNG, the graphics are from like 2010 or something

[edgy laurel]

I play a phone game on PClol

[mortal isle]

that's bad but well is working

[mortal isle]

yup with wine or proton

[cosmic gazelle]

it’s actually stunning how much graphical power clash royale asks for when it literally is a game from 2010

[devout ridge]

the main game i've been playing recently is cookie clicker, the definition of a mobile game on PC

[whole coral]

Remember when Apple used to flex that the iPhone can play AAA games natively.

[frank zealot]

did you tape mod your mouse

[devout ridge]

Nah, autoclicker

i have school and a job, i don't have time to no life the game, so autoclicker helps speed it up

[pure garnet]

i mean they have several examples published?

[frank zealot]

do you use the site to keep track of upcoming power ups? lol

[cosmic gazelle]

upgrading to a 9950x to load the webpage for cookie clicker 30 nanoseconds faster

[mortal isle]

these are like some of the supported games on winlator https://m.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnh0xQJr5MOs09V5HMbGcCIN-zX9tNnnt

[devout ridge]

Nope, i don't use anything external, other than the wiki

[mortal isle]

they are way more but there is some more interesting games

like god of war, cyberpunk, gta 5 and some more

[cosmic gazelle]

anybody know if there’s community graphics drivers for windows on the bc 250 yet

[merry stirrup]

thats not happening

[cosmic gazelle]

i kinda want one but not if i have to run linux on it

[edgy laurel]

there was just a Division game released on mobile

[cosmic gazelle]

why not? wouldn’t there be demand for someone to mod like 6800m drivers or something?

[merry stirrup]

theres hardly any demand for it on linux 😭

[cosmic gazelle]

hm

[merry stirrup]

i think where we're at rn is the peak of support for the bc250

[cosmic gazelle]

buying bulk bc 250s to desolder the gddr6x and sell it back to nvidia

[mortal isle]

finally a server that is not dead, or hating on me for having a rx 580 and a i3 9100 lol

[cosmic gazelle]

not a terrible matchup specs wise

[mortal isle]

thanks, but well i still get cpu bottleneck tho

[merry stirrup]

also iirc the ps5 is wacky in that it uses multiple generations of RDNA inside

so windows drivers just based off something modified is probably not happening

[mortal isle]

100cpu usage and 40% gpu on cs2🥀

[devout ridge]

3d modeling software like blender is mostly CPU limited for editing, and GPU limited for rendering right?

[cosmic gazelle]

that’s surprising to me, i run a 4790k and a 580 and don’t really experience any bottlenecks

[merry stirrup]

so basically. windows drivers arent happening

[brisk jolt]

the NPCs dont exactly translate to the AI I’m talking i believe

[cosmic gazelle]

oh weird

[merry stirrup]

the 9100 is much slower

[cosmic gazelle]

it is? weird

[merry stirrup]

bro you have a ram overclocked and cpu overclocked delidded 4790k

[mortal isle]

https://tenor.com/view/i-show-speed-that-makes-sense-i-get-it-i-see-understandable-gif-17273864583090164531

[merry stirrup]

compared to a 65w like maybe 4ghz 4c 4t chip

[cosmic gazelle]

ohhhhh 9100 didn’t get hyper threading yeah that’ll do it

[merry stirrup]

the generational difference between 4th and 9th gen isnt really all that large so

[cosmic gazelle]

don’t hate on my 145w power consumption

😂

[pure garnet]

1.5v vcore 6700k

[merry stirrup]

he said the number'

[cosmic gazelle]

how long would this take to die like a month?

[merry stirrup]

probably years

[cosmic gazelle]

at 1.5? i thought that was like extreme

[merry stirrup]

mfs talk about 1.5v like its 2v

[mortal isle]

yeah and uhh uhh fuck getting 90% cpu usage and 20-30% on roblox a blocky game like HOW lol

[steel stream]

https://tenor.com/view/elf-will-ferrell-shout-excited-happy-gif-3570641

[mortal isle]

the i3 9100 is soo slow

[merry stirrup]

on oldass 14nm? bro its just like, whatever you can cool

1.4 is said as a general upper limit because youre generally not going to be able to cool higher

[pure garnet]

i mean i degraded it instantly so maybe i went above 1.5v

but it still runs just not as well

[merry stirrup]

did you also blow it up in hells inferno as well

[pure garnet]

naur it just went from 4.9 doable to 4.7 errors instantly

[merry stirrup]

cause theres a difference between 1.5v and 60c and 1.5v & 100c

[shell void]

i degraded my R5 1600 by 50mv after running 1.45v 4GHz for a short while

[pure garnet]

idk the cpu temps but i had already cracked the lid by then

[merry stirrup]

hm

i mean my 11700K didnt even care about 1.5+v

[cosmic gazelle]

floppa did you hear what started giving me whea errors at 4.7

[pure garnet]

idk that board is at my grandmas house at stock jedec

[merry stirrup]

my 7700k didnt either

[mortal isle]

soo yeah i have 2 choices, go cheap and buy a i5 8500 or buy a ryzen 5 5500-5600 but gonna take a long time

[pure garnet]

i got the interest i had in that platform out the way already so

[cosmic gazelle]

literally launching rocket league

because it uses avx

[merry stirrup]

incredible

[mortal isle]

so what you guys think?

[merry stirrup]

didr you not stress test the cpu? 😭

[merry stirrup]

definitely not the first option

[pure garnet]

ai generated battle pass

[mortal isle]

Yeah pretty logically choice

[mortal isle]

hows even playing Fortnite, is not that a dead game?

[cosmic gazelle]

i ran prime95 for 12 hours and didn’t bother with avx stress tests because the cpu spotaneously exploded every time i would run one and i’m not daily driving this system so sse stability is good enough for me

[merry stirrup]

until its not like when you open rocket league

[frank zealot]

1.2 million players currently?
That sounds totally dead /s

https://fortnite.gg/player-count

[merry stirrup]

just do core cycler or something with AVX if you cant cool all core, at least you get any indication at all

[cosmic gazelle]

i turned it to 4.6 @ 1.28 and it was fine so i think im okay

[pure garnet]

LMFAO

[pure garnet]

there are 572k players online in br alone rn

[mortal isle]

Oh wow, i thought is dead lol

[brisk jolt]

far from it

[cosmic gazelle]

run r23 like a real man

[merry stirrup]

so

no

[cosmic gazelle]

grok convert this guy’s r20 score to r23

oops

[merry stirrup]

and 7zip as a treat

[mortal isle]

3 cpu-z tabs open based

[merry stirrup]

at least 6

[pure garnet]

okay now run fortnite

[merry stirrup]

my daily was 5.2 on that chip lol

300w in r6s

[cosmic gazelle]

i thought you were on am3 floppa what happened to dat

[merry stirrup]

i cant have multiple screenshots?

[cosmic gazelle]

no i just thought those were from right now

oh nvm

[merry stirrup]

no those are years old, the dates are right

[pure garnet]

bitcoin mining

[cosmic gazelle]

also apparently any non-high end 970 board just insta vrm throttles when trying to oc an 8350 so i will not be bothering with that

[merry stirrup]

are fans not real

[cosmic gazelle]

no

leftist agenda

real men use passive cooling

[merry stirrup]

like in a real computer the vrm quality matters for your daily but like, point an ac at it

[brisk jolt]

whats ur r23 score then

[merry stirrup]

43 thousand points

[cosmic gazelle]

my upstairs is also frequently at like 27c so like

doesn’t help

[cosmic gazelle]

like 4000 because my shit don’t run cool enough

[merry stirrup]

cooking

[cosmic gazelle]

(i had 23500 and then i updated my bios and can’t get higher than 22800 now)

[brisk jolt]

i was gonna say i got absolutely smoked by it thinking mine was 30k till i checked

[mortal isle]

is the GIGABYTE A520M K v2 good for a 5600? because I can't really go higher i can go with the a520m and get the 5600 or buy a better motherboard and get a 5500

[merry stirrup]

on a 265K it should be like 38k if you arent slow

[cosmic gazelle]

i got 5680 something r23 on my 4790k on unstable settings lol

[merry stirrup]

buy a b550 board, but also if you dont currently have the money i dont want to sit here and talk about your future upgrade thats happening in 6 years

[brisk jolt]

oh no i didnt do it on the 265K Mac asked yesterday about R23 score and I did it after coming back from work

[merry stirrup]

oh i see

[mortal isle]

yeah makes sense

[brisk jolt]

I dont bother with my 265K R23 score because its gonna just thermal throttle itself on a LP cooler

[merry stirrup]

my bad its 44k

[brisk jolt]

its score will be gimped either way

[merry stirrup]

i have that cpu somewhere

[cosmic gazelle]

also floppa 2 of my 9800 cores pass corecycler running yc vt3 at -50 so i’m starting to potentially think corecycler isn’t that great of a test lmao

[brisk jolt]

My 9950X3D got 42.5k

[merry stirrup]

i think settings matter quite a lot

use the OCCT core cycler and not the manually configured one

[mortal isle]

i love discord compression

[merry stirrup]

13900KS, 5.9ish P 4.7ish E

[mortal isle]

Nice cpu

[merry stirrup]

its a chip

one of my favorites so far

[steel stream]

that's all on your end boss

[cosmic gazelle]

how high can voltage be on this before it violently erupts like a volcano
