5.9 daily required 1.36v

5.7 was 1.27

[brisk jolt]

oh yeah my 9950x3d stood almost no chance of matching it exactly

[mortal isle]

Damn my phone is really that bad lol

[merry stirrup]

so realistically anything more than 5.9 isnt possible on that specific chip

cause 1.37 is already like pushin it

[mortal isle]

ddr5 ram at 3000$ and a 5090 i don't think the guy can build that

at that money

[brisk jolt]

what wattage was your 13900KS running at?

253w?

[merry stirrup]

in YC with ht off it was either 390 or 430

in that bench it was pretty tame but thats cause it had help with cooling

"tame" being 350w

[brisk jolt]

ok yeah i stand no chance xd

[merry stirrup]

this was for daily stable

HT on 5.9 in ycruncher was impossible even with ac cooling

[mortal isle]

i had a intel stock cooler back then and i bought a thermalright king 120 se and my cpu temps got from 73° playing at only 36° pretty good in my opinion

[merry stirrup]

yeah thats thhe one with its lid removed btw

[cosmic gazelle]

am i worth more as a human if my 9800x3d is mac bin but i squat 405 today

[merry stirrup]

i think so

[merry stirrup]

compare yc scores so you feel better

[arctic bronze]

[merry stirrup]

even my 7900X3D is faster than my 13900Ks in yc

[cosmic gazelle]

thought this said autism

[cosmic gazelle]

why do you have a 7900

dual ccd tuning or what

[merry stirrup]

i bought it before the 13900KS and promptly sold it

[brisk jolt]

nah man im content with what I have lol

[cosmic gazelle]

my best 4790k time was about 89 seconds iirc 👍

[steel stream]

fire background sir

[cosmic gazelle]

hope that helps

[steel stream]

looks like the color of a carpet from a place in the 70s

[merry stirrup]

yeah for my older benching os'es i cared more about my eyes than drip

looking at that red color is a lot more pleasing than getting ass blasted by some funny image

[steel stream]

drip or drown scallywag

[merry stirrup]

all this is AVX 512 and cache diff

[mortal isle]

Oh fuck i put my cpu fan on sys_fan instead of the cpu_fan i am so stupid

[merry stirrup]

i have a feeling choosing to bin DDR3 on FX is a bad choice

[cosmic gazelle]

what’s the strongest d3 imc considered

[merry stirrup]

i mean

[cosmic gazelle]

5775c or something?

[merry stirrup]

take a wild guess

just like, haswell

[cosmic gazelle]

7700k technically

z170 d3

[merry stirrup]

likely not

but also you can run a 9900k on d3

so if you wanna be that technical

[cosmic gazelle]

yeah but do you want to bin ddr3 with a cpu that has sharpie on it

[merry stirrup]

finding a Z170 D3 would prolly suck nowadays tho tbh

[cosmic gazelle]

they exist they all just kinda suck

[merry stirrup]

you dont need to mod the 9900k at all

[merry stirrup]

well its a ddr3 board lol you have different plans

[cosmic gazelle]

huh? everything i’ve seen is a sharpie mod

[merry stirrup]

okay well i dont consider that modding, but i would use like, kapton tape

along with the pencil mod if your board needs to have those pins bridged

unironically i think my best buy rn is x79

[cosmic gazelle]

do all x79 cpus from the same gen have the same imc or is a 20 core gonna be better

[merry stirrup]

i would assume theyre all the same aside from generational differences yeah

[cosmic gazelle]

isn’t a 4c8t x79 chip like pennies

[merry stirrup]

yah

all of x79 is pennies

[cosmic gazelle]

i mean bis is still a bit of money i think

[merry stirrup]

its not an extreme11 but its not bad

[cosmic gazelle]

i lied

[merry stirrup]

yeah theyre all cheap

asking hwbot discord if that extreme6 is worth my time

[cosmic gazelle]

based on multi threaded performance it looks like people are able to get like 4.3-4.4 all core on a 1680 v2

could be fun

oh they’re $100

nvm

[sharp heart]

just for tinkering?

[merry stirrup]

oc primarily, yeah

i have a real computer

[sharp heart]

love a good tinkering board

ive got an asus z97 itx board with an i7 5775c for funsies waiting for me

[cosmic gazelle]

i got a z97 ud5h for $40 from goodwill of all places

there’s literally no chip that can stress it out which is kinda sad

[sharp heart]

i raise you... 10€ for my asus z97i plus

[cosmic gazelle]

where’d you find that

[sharp heart]

local online used marketplace

[turbid locust]

9950x to play with or MacBook Neo I don’t need at this moment

[sharp heart]

it did have a few bent pins and 1 that had it's pin soldered back on that was protruding out

but me and my dad fixed it

[cosmic gazelle]

i raise your 4+2+1 with my 12 phase vrm (id rather have the itx board and im jealous about it)

[cosmic gazelle]

270k+

😎

[turbid locust]

nope Intel is boring

lol

[sharp heart]

cool vs not so cool

[turbid locust]

@pure garnet buy my apex gamer

[turbid locust]

Neo is cool

Nicest $500 laptop on the planet rn

[sharp heart]

yeah with taxes its more like 700€ here... makes it not cool for me

i'd go for the 9950x

[turbid locust]

rip

[brave panther]

it will be atleast 700 euros in eu but ok

[turbid locust]

I need someone to buy my z790 and z890 stuff first

[turbid locust]

that’s why I said $500 not 700€

[brave panther]

aw yep

[cosmic gazelle]

new mac lieferumfang 🔥

[turbid locust]

“Hey this thing is good” “well it’s 700,000€ in my fuckass country so fuck you”

[cosmic gazelle]

what if i don’t like beans

[brave panther]

considering 500 usd is 431 euros

[steel stream]

ain't nobody buying intel man

other than weird peopel

[brave panther]

substitue brain with ketchup

[cosmic gazelle]

i will in exchange for 2 empty dell prebuilts take it or leave it

exclusive offer today only

[sharp heart]

since i gave my reason im gonna assume ur yelling at the other guy

[pure garnet]

have floppa buy it so i can trade the ocf for it

[sharp heart]

A750 8gb for a buy it now price of 139€ decent or no

[merry stirrup]

pretty good

getting rid of the quadro on monday for not a stupid price which is epic

[brave panther]

which quadro?

[merry stirrup]

RTX quadro 4000

[brave panther]

how much did you sell it for

[merry stirrup]

150

[cosmic gazelle]

whats the normal people equivalent of that gpu

[merry stirrup]

2070 Super ish

[brave panther]

smh i would have bought that

[merry stirrup]

goes for 180 on ebay or so

selling it to a homie for his rig

getting my 580 8GB back from him as well

[brave panther]

btw does it have micron memory?

[merry stirrup]

probably not

[cosmic gazelle]

idk if you remember that i bought the p620 and p1000 but I ended up selling them both on ebay for a post-fee result of basically breaking even lmao

[merry stirrup]

lol

[merry stirrup]

as it works lol

pretty sure it was samsung

[cosmic gazelle]

smasnug

[merry stirrup]

right between the two

imagine a 2070S but you undervolted it with a power target of 100-120w

because thats exactly what it is

pretty decent lil thing

but i got my a750 a while ago and i can just buy another gpu with the money if needed

also getting 75 from the person i case swapped their r12

(im also replacing their fans on their gpu for 30)

[young void]

88$ to fill my tank, lameeee

[merry stirrup]

wormm do you have haswell/ivy era z series stuff

[cosmic gazelle]

can we confirm or deny

[merry stirrup]

or @hoary hatch do you ?

[cosmic gazelle]

(bad rep but had to post it)

[young void]

One day, need a 3 row seater to carry all the kids

[merry stirrup]

the ak620 i bought for my fx 4300 will be here soon

[brave panther]

too bad yall dont have station wagons ova there

[cosmic gazelle]

way too many people get 3 row suvs just to fold down the rear seats and get groceries imo

[brave panther]

last 3 day i have driven 500km in a new passat station waggon, so much room, so fucking long and annoying to park

[merry stirrup]

i also profited some of my favorite high performance fans

dell oem fans 🙏

because theyre just fuckin 120cfm deltas

[young void]

If i didnt have 4 kids and take care of my disabled brother a nice econ car would be legit

Especially in the current state of things

[cosmic gazelle]

real men just get an 80s chevy truck, wife goes in the middle of the front bench and the kids fill up the rest

(jk)

[young void]

Thats how I grew up lmao

https://tenor.com/view/ck8car-driving-truck-gif-12914236024498471654

[cosmic gazelle]

but fr like people around here have ONE KID and immediately go buy a kia telluride

like be so fr

[merry stirrup]

@cosmic gazelle youd appreciate that when i put a PCIE to NVME card in this board that the bios accepts it as its own and even gets an "NVME config" menu in the bios that appears out of thin air

[cosmic gazelle]

the 970? really?

[merry stirrup]

yah

they all have pcie boot support, i had a 970 board with a native nvme

just insane that it supports it that well

[cosmic gazelle]

i don’t understand how that stuff works, my b650 had dpi scaling in the menu for like one hard reset worth of time and hasn’t since

[merry stirrup]

was even asrock like this one, although much cooler

[brave panther]

do you have miniwan now?

[steel stream]

where's the ass to grass man

[young void]

Got a 2016 dodge grand caravan

[cosmic gazelle]

bro do my proportions look physically capable of that

[young void]

Just replaced my 2014 a year or two ago, she gets me around

[cosmic gazelle]

look at the length of my femurs that shit ain’t happenin

[merry stirrup]

lol, initially when i put this card in it just didnt work at all

[steel stream]

impressive though ig (good shit man)

[cosmic gazelle]

imagine buying this pretty ass board back in the day to just get half the gaming performance of a 6600k or something

[merry stirrup]

it was fun to mess with im sad i sold it atp

[merry stirrup]

i had a lot of decent FX stuff actually at somepoint i sold all of

[cosmic gazelle]

the mercedes e series still sells wagons around here i believe

[young void]

She's a bit chunky, but i can haul furniture so works double win

A truck would also be nice though

[brave panther]

i dont like mercedes too much

[cosmic gazelle]

you’d rather have a passat?

like if we wanna argue reliability then sure mercedes is not great but we act like dieselgate never happened

[brisk jolt]

toyoda

[brave panther]

yes

[cosmic gazelle]

perhaps an old one but let’s not act like toyota engines haven’t literally been exploding

[brisk jolt]

https://tenor.com/view/ae86-trueno-initial-d-speed-gr86-gif-27072763

the G in GR stands for Goat

[brave panther]

anything except frenchies

[cosmic gazelle]

like this is probably the greatest car available for under 50k rn

[brave panther]

yea but i dont want a v8

unless its in actual sports car

[edgy laurel]

fast wagons are goated

[cosmic gazelle]

bro acts like the e63s doesn’t whoop a mustang gt around a track

[edgy laurel]

whooping something around a track does not a sports car make

[topaz veldt]

As a former E63s owner, do not confuse it with a "sports car"

[brave panther]

i dont care how fast it goes around a track
yall in america cant even push it to its limit on a public road

[merry stirrup]

user error

[cosmic gazelle]

you can’t legally push it to its limit on a public road

[pure garnet]

remember that speeds in europe sound cool till you realize 160km/hr is like 35mph

[cosmic gazelle]

“my car does 0-100 in 6 seconds” and you’re like keeping up with an ebike

[brave panther]

today
country speed limit 130kmph, and i drove 200 as everybody else did as well

[vivid mural]

Why not a hatchback or a wagon?

[pure garnet]

i rest my point

[topaz veldt]

back when my two coworkers got S4/RS5

[cosmic gazelle]

rs6 avant is so goated

[topaz veldt]

its alright

[cosmic gazelle]

what that mean

[topaz veldt]

not my first choice

[brave panther]

unfortunatly:

[topaz veldt]

But I had the E63s for maybe 90 days

thing was BRUTAL

[cosmic gazelle]

first choice for a powerful wagon would be what lol

they don’t make any other brand that’s new

[topaz veldt]

over an RS6 any day

[cosmic gazelle]

i have perhaps gone 127 freedom units per hour on one of these blue states

[whole coral]

Northeast being goated

[cosmic gazelle]

i mean yeah but those aren’t sold new anymore

the avant is the only new one

[edgy laurel]

5nail wagon guess

[pure garnet]

i’ve allegedly past his countries speed limit on the way home from the pool today

[topaz veldt]

https://tenor.com/view/omg-leonardo-di-caprio-fist-bite-suit-bored-gif-5065709

[brave panther]

peek speed i have done is about 260...

[topaz veldt]

did you see the one thompson built?

[whole coral]

People just love to go fast here on I-95 in the left lane

[cosmic gazelle]

somebody’s gonna get me banned for “doxxing”

[merry stirrup]

too lake chips im on the way

[edgy laurel]

no? is it on their site? built as in ordered for sale?

[pure garnet]

yeah that’s how a left lane works

[merry stirrup]

dude straight up i posted my zip on accident and some guy was like "dude thats a 5+4 digit zip i can find your street"

[edgy laurel]

Good. At least they're not going slow in the left lane.

[frank zealot]

the left lane is for passing, BY LAW in all 50 states

[cosmic gazelle]

there is literally only one place where that blue dot is it would be extremely easy to find me

[pure garnet]

if you are doing the speed limit in the leftmost lane you need to be blown out of it with an orbital cannon

[cosmic gazelle]

i do not care

[merry stirrup]

i just kept saying "so do something about it?" and he got more and more threatening 💀

[merry stirrup]

NETANYAHU STRIKE THIS MAN DOWN

[pure garnet]

i deadass said this about a ford ranger today

[cosmic gazelle]

i mean i feel like posting an image of me squatting 405 is probably a decent deterrent as well lmao

[frank zealot]

No, a cop needs to pull your ass over, because that's against the law in all 50 states

[pure garnet]

dude was swearing in and out of the turn lanes

[merry stirrup]

i think the 9 is a good deterrent

[topaz veldt]

no they did an F80 wagon M3

[pure garnet]

a ticket does not prevent someone as well as a cannon would though

[topaz veldt]

@edgy laurel

[frank zealot]

but if they keep doing it, they lose that license and then go to jail

[edgy laurel]

Damn. F80 is such a good look, man.

[cosmic gazelle]

i was gonna say buying a bmw feels like the same thing as being british

[frank zealot]

that's a lotta purple

[cosmic gazelle]

but yknow difference of opinion

[turbid locust]

Most people don’t like BMWs because they can’t afford them

I want an M440i but it’s a bit out of my price range lol

[cosmic gazelle]

i have a buddy who bought a 328i and proceeded to have a transmission replacement in less than 20 thousand miles

[topaz veldt]

Buy mine

We barely drive it dude

[turbid locust]

I have 4 dollars

[merry stirrup]

hwbot disc has given me some form of sauce

You guys are gonna clown on me but… I have gained a minuscule amount of interest in the Elantra N

but like it’s a fuckin Hyundai

[cosmic gazelle]

i don’t disagree it’s great for the value

my gf has a vanilla elantra and it’s really quite decent for $20k

[turbid locust]

apparently they make good power with bolt ons and tune

like you can get em up to almost 400 wheel easy

stock turbski

[cosmic gazelle]

the interior is pretty plasticky so you’re not exactly getting a luxury experience but you probably won’t see better performance for 30k

i get 29.7 avg commuting in my 2.5l mazda 3

they've got us beat

RAM prices can go higher

[turbid locust]

My commute is thankfully 6 miles and 3 turns to work

[brave panther]

this is even before ram cartel

[frank zealot]

At that price, 1GB = over 37K USD 😉

[steel stream]

imma have like a 30 mile commute this summer i think

[steel stream]

now that's good pricing

[cosmic gazelle]

my commute is 39 miles if i can take the 15 south lol

which is an if given it’s california

[frank zealot]

my old commute was ~6.5 miles

And took 35-45 minutes to get to the office.

My new one is ~40 miles and I do it in 45-50 minutes most days

[turbid locust]

My 6 mile commute may become 68 miles if things work out well enough in the next year or so lol

[turbid locust]

Jack shit for hardware on there tho really

[cosmic gazelle]

shopgoodwill has some gems trust

[merry stirrup]

sometimes

[cosmic gazelle]

they have 1 cent shipping on some items

[merry stirrup]

goodwill auctions has some decent stuff actually

[cosmic gazelle]

i bought an AIO pc for $40 and then immediately cracked the digitizer and rendered it useless

[frank zealot]

if people don't jack the price to hell

[merry stirrup]

40$ for an all in one is insane

[cosmic gazelle]

dude there’s some delusional goodwill workers putting the most random shit up for $49.99

[merry stirrup]

i paid 15$ for an 8th gen all in one from goodwill

its just sitting in my closet i have nothing to do with it

[cosmic gazelle]

shipping is what hurts it more

[merry stirrup]

i should put it on facebook

[cosmic gazelle]

people in my area buy amd a-series aios for $60

[merry stirrup]

true

dude

i offered 50$ to this guy

[merry stirrup]

and said "shipping makes it like 60$ and thats all i have to spend"

bro just, hit me with a $50.50 counter

making the total 59.37

hes getting all he can get outta me LOL

[cosmic gazelle]

what are you buying, mobo?

[merry stirrup]

just got z97+cpu+a couple sticks o ram for 50$

[cosmic gazelle]

what z97

[merry stirrup]

Z97X gaming 5

will have to apparently mod the memory voltage rail because they dont allow for very high mem volts

[cosmic gazelle]

that’s one of the ones i was looking at, how’d you find a deal on one? just a basic search?

[steel stream]

gov deals is just for cars and random shit

[pure garnet]

this may be worse than my apex purchase attempt

[merry stirrup]

this one was minimum bid of 35$ with a best offer

[turbid locust]

Local uni posted some Alienware PCs once

[merry stirrup]

(with no bids)

so i offered 45 at first

[cosmic gazelle]

dude was either clueless or desperate lmao

[merry stirrup]

then he countered 55 and then i said 50

[steel stream]

1660s?

[turbid locust]

2080Ti’s

[merry stirrup]

so, 4690K+stock cooler+mixed ram+Z97X gaming 5

[steel stream]

damn

[turbid locust]

Yeah really sad I missed out

[cosmic gazelle]

all DC cpus have the same imc i would expect?

[turbid locust]

it was like a lot of 5 towers for like $300

[merry stirrup]

yeah

[pure garnet]

floppa buy macs apex

[cosmic gazelle]

you gonna actually oc the cpu or just use it as a memory tester

[turbid locust]

floppa buy my apex

[pure garnet]

so i can trade you the ocf for it

[merry stirrup]

nobody has hired me yet i just bought DDR3 hardware because i have made money on computer

i may just start pc flipping atp

[turbid locust]

[pure garnet]

post em on my craigslist

[turbid locust]

finna throw it up on hwbot fr

[cosmic gazelle]

i’ve thought about this but the initial investment cost is too high for me rn

[merry stirrup]

might be the play, although everyone is getting rid of z890

[turbid locust]

Yeah which sucks kinda

[pure garnet]

i wish i knew a non floppa interested in an ocf

because i could just keep my 265k + master

[merry stirrup]

i mean ill do both i like my data to be similar to soyos

i like testing stock -> full oc +steps inbetween

then compare final step to stock

like the FX rn is at 30% increase in perf which isnt bad

either the board or sticks or something in my setup tho cant really clock memory all that well

[pure garnet]

fx sob

[merry stirrup]

yeah it blows

especially since its a 4300

[pure garnet]

DAMN

i got an fx 8300

[merry stirrup]

next time i buy something from you

[merry stirrup]

that will not be true

[pure garnet]

buy my ocf bro

[merry stirrup]

6$

[pure garnet]

add 2 zeros without a decimal

after the 6

[merry stirrup]

bro if i can get that much for my ocf its leaving too tf

[frank zealot]

ROFL People be buyin' up DDR3 Server RAM still:
@topaz veldt

[merry stirrup]

[steel stream]

nah

[merry stirrup]

i honestly dont care because its poopoo hardware

(this psu was from the 40$ computer)

[pure garnet]

who cares if fx dies

[merry stirrup]

i mean rn the whole computer is the 40$ computer tbh

[pure garnet]

it’s literally fx

[frank zealot]

I suppose ~90 bucks shipped on a 2060 ain't bad, but they'd better stop bidding

[merry stirrup]

well soon itll be haswell

in my experience this will probably go for over 100 lol

[merry stirrup]

im not taking the 1200 from the am4 pc

1300?

nah its a 1200

1300w is in th server

[frank zealot]

lolol

[pure garnet]

can’t tell if windows crashed or if i shut my pc off when i got up

[merry stirrup]

EVGA n1 my goat

[pure garnet]

it did in fact crash

[merry stirrup]

god DAMNIT

[pure garnet]

that's a new error

@pure garnet I am no longer going to give you a heart attack each time I talk about PSUs

A850GLS!!!!!

[pure garnet]

nah im on the phone with loong nia support fr

[turbid locust]

naw

[pure garnet]

i know its not the gpu because it never happened with the strix

[merry stirrup]

that is true

[pure garnet]

maybe i should unironically just buy an asus board

a 5th am5 board

[civic reef]

Uh oh

[merry stirrup]

you can keep buying your 6 and 8 core cpus tho

[devout ridge]

started to figure out this whole vectorworks thing

[turbid locust]

as long as they’re faster

[merry stirrup]

faster in 1 thing

[frank zealot]

WTF Are y'all doin:

[merry stirrup]

of which i do not do much of

[turbid locust]

The main thing I do yes

[merry stirrup]

i should sell my bdie on there DAMN

[pure garnet]

is slot b1 important

[merry stirrup]

what

[turbid locust]

same lmao

[frank zealot]

right? At that point, just fuckin' buy a brand new B450 or 550

[pure garnet]

there's a b650e-e for cheap with a goobered on slot b1

[steel stream]

chimpin

[merry stirrup]

yknow i mean

you dont even need that slot

[fervent chasm]

What is that suspicious goo on it

[merry stirrup]

nut

[pure garnet]

or for the same price i can get an x870e-e that got robbed and stripped in detroit

[turbid locust]

Can you stop buying borked boards

[devout ridge]

That's one of the decorative slots anyways

[frank zealot]

Anyone want a large lot of mostly bullshit mp3 players?

[steel stream]

chimpin it chimpin it

[merry stirrup]

i fw that idea more

kirkin it rn

literally cut my head open in my sleep today

[frank zealot]

holy shit, my guys....
This keyboard is NOT nearly this cool:

[merry stirrup]

the window is in a terrible spot

[pure garnet]

oh floppa the detroit spec x870e doesn't have ram locking tabs

[cosmic gazelle]

this is probably the funniest thing I’ve seen AI used for

[pure garnet]

no way im buying that

[indigo walrus]

Oh my, are those 2x SanDisk Sansa e200 players? Do you have the cables for them? If so... Maybe. Depends on shipping cost, and if their batteries hold a charge or not... They make great Rockbox players.

[merry stirrup]

bro they took EVERYTHING

[frank zealot]

If they work, which is always a huge question

[merry stirrup]

idk the goobered one seems legit

[cosmic gazelle]

this is one specific goodwill employee who lists every single item for 24.88 or 49.88 regardless of how much it’s actually worth. it pisses me off to no end

[merry stirrup]

id buy the x870e if they didnt run its entire pockets

[pure garnet]

yeah but the goobered one is like 2x the 650e-f

[frank zealot]

https://shopgoodwill.com/item/258125688
holy shit, now this is an auction for someone

[merry stirrup]

well do you want b650e? didnt you have issues with one?

[pure garnet]

just that it didn't run 8000

this all started because i chased g2 😭

[merry stirrup]

oh i mean

go full circle at least you know it works

[cosmic gazelle]

i have a b650e and it runs games and sometimes edits documents

[merry stirrup]

my tomahawk was good

i also had it for like, 3 months

[pure garnet]

bro i found ANOTHER stripped board

[frank zealot]

8 LBS Of Floppy Disks

[pure garnet]

where is this guy sourcing these boards

where did the vrm heatsink go.

[cosmic gazelle]

i eated it

[merry stirrup]

do you want my heatsink? do you think they use the same ones from z790?

i have my z790's full clothes

[merry stirrup]

more than likely these are xoc boards btw

and the last time i had to take a VRM heatsink off is when an aio didnt fit otherwise

[pure garnet]

it's a company that does board repairs so i for some reason doubt it?

like it's plausible but they do like socket repairs

[merry stirrup]

oh then they probably just molest them there

idk

the detroit one coulda been a parts board or smething

[pure garnet]

gonna wait for what loong nia customer support says tonight

then otherwise i'll just order the b650e-f for $100

[steel stream]

what did i miss about detroit

[merry stirrup]

robbery

[merry stirrup]

🫡 this lowkey seems fire regardless

[merry stirrup]

thats a better price than most used b550 boards

[steel stream]

oh

[pure garnet]

no heatsinks, no ram locks

the board does fully work though

[devout ridge]

such bizarre damage

[merry stirrup]

dont you love diddling motherboards

[devout ridge]

no, no i don't

[merry stirrup]

loser

[devout ridge]

stop diddling motherboards

[merry stirrup]

no

[fervent chasm]

Maybe that was your suspicious goo on that ram slot floppa

[merry stirrup]

couldve been

[fervent chasm]

Since you diddle your boards

[pure garnet]

i like that we got 1 day without one

[merry stirrup]

i do hate ryzen

[civic reef]

Does anybody want a $460 3090

[merry stirrup]

that 1 day was bliss

[fervent chasm]

Aren’t they $900

[civic reef]

Not here they're not

[merry stirrup]

does anyone want a free 6850

[pure garnet]

wait fucking usb controller shit itself too

😭 this board

[brave panther]

https://tenor.com/view/conquest-invincible-stand-ready-for-my-arrival-gif-1552484032479568873

[merry stirrup]

all roads lead to ryzen usb dropout issues cause amd cant make a real interconnect

[civic reef]

Tell it to control itself

[cosmic gazelle]

there’s no way in hell this isn’t like a mobile 3090 on a desktop board or something

[civic reef]

Nope

Those are our prices

Around the same thing on FBMP

There's an FTW3 for 530 if you want

[pure garnet]

@merry stirrup this socket is good right

[civic reef]

@cosmic gazelle With the box and manual too surprisingly

[merry stirrup]

looks fine

[brave panther]

pour mineral oil on it

[merry stirrup]

you generally can tell pretty quick just by the way the light hits the pins

basically, dont look too close because being able to see the rest of the pins in the light is important too

this vs

like in the 2nd photo you can tell some pins are messed up but its like literally every pin in that section based on how the light hits them

if its consistent across the whole socket its pretty unlikely you have bent pins

how in the world is this a beta feature spotify

[cosmic gazelle]

deal of a lifetime

[merry stirrup]

straight peak

[frank zealot]

I popped in a bid. If I win I win.

[cosmic gazelle]

1060 3gb and an 8gb stick of ddr4 3200

not the worst thing ever but such a weird bundle

[frank zealot]

who remembers these things? lol

[mortal isle]

didn't know a 1060 had a 3gb model

[frank zealot]

yup, cut down core and 3gb instead of 6

[civic reef]

Cut down cores too? Hilarious

[merry stirrup]

shoulda been the 1050ti of the gen

won’t hold you one bit

[cosmic gazelle]

1152 cuda cores vs 1280

[mortal isle]

man Motorola is so slow on updates like some phones is already at 17 beta and i am stuck on 15

[frank zealot]

who remembers this debacle of a controller:

[devout ridge]

i remember going "wow, i hate it"

[frank zealot]

but I will say the new one looks kinda sick

[mortal isle]

https://tenor.com/view/he-made-a-statement-statement-dog-gang-praised-gif-14847923944265501688

[frank zealot]

this one always looked terrible

[civic reef]

Absolutely hilarious

[frank zealot]

I do dig the controller 2 vibe

[brave panther]

let me ruin it for you
thumbsticks = eyes
mic mesh = mouth
trackpads = cheeks

[frank zealot]

hand grips = mutton chops

didn't ruin it, I still dig the vibe

[civic reef]

Hmmm
2x 1TB HDDs in RAID 0

Still cheaper than an SSD

[brave panther]

but considerably worse

[merry stirrup]

@cosmic gazelle did you do memory on your gigabyte board?

[civic reef]

Aren't HDDs in RAID fairly faster than a single HDD

They're not bad drives either
WD Purples

CMR 5400, 256MB cache

[devout ridge]

depends

[brave panther]

no

[merry stirrup]

not in randoms really

[civic reef]

On..?

[devout ridge]

how many drives, and what config

[brave panther]

smr 3.5 inch drive in raid gets smoked by 150000 rpm 2.5 inch sas hdd

[civic reef]

2x 2TB
WD Purple, 5400 RPM CMR 256MB cache

[devout ridge]

what raid config

[civic reef]

RAID 0 since I heard that's the best for this sort of small config

[devout ridge]

it's the fastest, but no redundancy

roughly as performant as 2 drives

[civic reef]

As in the power of two drives combined?

[devout ridge]

the speed of two drives combined

[civic reef]

Why would I need redundancy

[devout ridge]

1 drive die, you lose all the data of both drives

[civic reef]

"upto" 175MB/s

[devout ridge]

*2

[brave panther]

https://tenor.com/view/tom-and-jerry-jerry-laughing-3amskypecall-gif-1225091949170588240

[civic reef]

Yeah so a technical 350MB/s maximum on sustained

[devout ridge]

theoretically

[brave panther]

in seq

[civic reef]

Let's say it actually averages 100MB/s

That's still 200 MB/s

[devout ridge]

in a sequential read/write

[brave panther]

iops will be shit

[devout ridge]

roughly the same iops of 2 drives tho

[civic reef]

No but genuinely

HDDs aren't really that prone to failure I don't think, especially the WD Purples

[devout ridge]

just happens to be that hdd's suck

[brave panther]

yea but still shit

[civic reef]

Atleast the cache will help a little

[devout ridge]

depends on how much you care about the data

[devout ridge]

for what, 32MB per drive?

[civic reef]

256

[devout ridge]

those 512MB will be speedy, everything else will suck

also cache doesn't help with random reads

[civic reef]

Oh what

[devout ridge]

mostly helpful with writes

how do you think cache works

[civic reef]

Oh okay fair

[devout ridge]

cache doesn't actually speed up the harddrive, it just acts in addition to the harddrive

[civic reef]

I assumed it's just a small, general use cache to accelerate the delivery or intake of a small amount of data

[devout ridge]

intake, yes, delivery is still limited by how fast it can read the data

[civic reef]

Fair

[devout ridge]

the cache doesn't actually accelerate reads or writes directly, but rather acts as a buffer

[civic reef]

Yeah I know
It accelerates that tiny amount

[devout ridge]

So say you write 200MB to cache, it will take that 200MB and store it really quickly into cache, then it will work to write from cache to the disk at the normal disk speed

[civic reef]

The rest will still be normal HDD R/W
A realistic 125-150MB/s seq, probably 50MB/s random

[civic reef]

Okay yeah fair enough

Wait
For redundancy, would I need an extra drive/drives with the combined capacity of both, or?

Wait no actually don't answer that

There's probably a million RAID tutorials online

[cosmic gazelle]

ya i got to 2000 cl10 on dual rank mismatched sticks remember lmao

why

[civic reef]

Hi Linus

[edgy laurel]

Raid 0 hdds for OS boot? I shudder at the thought in 2026

[cosmic gazelle]

kinda chad, just always risking the chance that your OS got nuked every time you start your pc

[edgy laurel]

You were a badass with stripped VelociRaptors…. in 2004

[civic reef]

Oh god
I wouldn't dare

I have a SATA drive running my OS and even that is a little slow

[edgy laurel]

You can tell the generational difference with how we search. I would dream of typing out the “how does” part in and search

[edgy laurel]

Hopefully it’s an SSD

[civic reef]

-Okay so:

RAID 0 is all the performance, but all the risk

RAID 1 is all the reliability and safety, but none of the performance

RAID 10 is all the reliability, all of the performance, and all of your money

[civic reef]

Ofcourse it is

I haven't had a hard drive as a boot drive since around 2020

And back then (a few years before that) I was asking my brother to boot up the "zombie raising his fingers game" for me (Left 4 Dead 2)

[edgy laurel]

Left out a few (5, for instance)And even then, nobody is doing traditional raid anymore with any frequency.

[fringe vigil]

whats this bullshit txaa bro

[cosmic gazelle]

i mean raid 10 is pretty normal for nases isn’t it

[edgy laurel]

Back when I cared to have a home server it was a hardware RAID 5 powered by a Dell PERC5/I card, WITH the ram upgrade and battery backup

[civic reef]

RAID is a pretty okay solution to high capacity at a not so high price

[edgy laurel]

I am scared to see your settings.

[civic reef]

Also RAID 5?
One second lemme watch something for that

[fringe vigil]

shit is crazy

[civic reef]

Leenus mentioned that they didn't cover all RAIDs in the video

[edgy laurel]

Hopefully you’ve got DLSS Quality mode on.

[merry stirrup]

man the ak620 isn’t actually compatible with AM3+ who would’ve seen this coming

[fringe vigil]

help me with this

[civic reef]

Hi again Leenus

[edgy laurel]

Holy fuck HDR10+

[fringe vigil]

what is this bulshit

whats dlsss 4.5 L

which one do i choose

[pure garnet]

it's always interesting seeing jorj catch up on technology

[edgy laurel]

L preset. I’m sitting in my car. I don’t have the game and can’t really talk. Will be a bit.

[merry stirrup]

surprisingly it works. gonna clean that crap off the board while i’m here

[shell void]

DLSS 4 (K) DLAA

[edgy laurel]

Been here so long lol

[fringe vigil]

help me with my settings

[civic reef]

@edgy laurel RAID 5 is what I need it seems

[cosmic gazelle]

bros ram

[civic reef]

2 drives acting as the performance drives, with one extra drive acting as the redundant

[shell void]

crimson desert gets noisy & blurry if you don't use DLSS 4 (K) DLAA

[civic reef]

1+1 WD Purps (1TB)
Redundant 2TB

[shell void]

either that or you can use Ray Reconstruction, but itll crush your FPS and introduce other problems

[brave panther]

he has ram, get him!

[cosmic gazelle]

so if you have a 30 series you’re just screwed?

[civic reef]

Choosing WD Purps because the only other options are Seagate SMRs and those are meh

Plus these have longer life cycles and great caches

[merry stirrup]

look at the cooler brackets 😭

[pure garnet]

i will only play crimson desert if someone in my steam family buys it so i can leech

[civic reef]

Oh wait my board only accepts RAID 0, 1, and 10

[cosmic gazelle]

you can just download your platform’s raid software and do whatever

[brave panther]

yea but what dis

[pure garnet]

is all of that d3

[brave panther]

get him, he has ram

[civic reef]

It's probably best I get a RAID controller card

[cosmic gazelle]

you don’t need a raid controller bro

your cpu already got dat

just download the software

[civic reef]

The board itself only supports 0, 1, and 10
Does that mean it only supports those out of the box? - Not including any user software?

[cosmic gazelle]

that’s trying to use your motherboard’s raid which is a complete pain in the ass

[civic reef]

Fair

[turbid locust]

@pure garnet @merry stirrup apex and 265k pending gamers

[civic reef]

Okey dokey
R5 5600 running RAID 5 in 2026 ❤️

[cosmic gazelle]

i would not recommend using raid as a boot drive because you can’t use software for that, but if you just need an additional storage space it’s fine

[turbid locust]

I’ll let you guys know if it falls through

[civic reef]

I have a SATA SSD doing the boot already

This baby has 8 SATA 3s and I am already gonna be using two without the RAID setup LOL

[cosmic gazelle]

yeah then just download amd raid

[civic reef]

I might postpone my 3080 purchase for this since that's $330 (minus the $110 PSU)

[cosmic gazelle]

what psu do you have now

[civic reef]

God I am so happy I am not just speculating and theorising anymore
I have a JOB that pays me MONEY

I can actually BUY this stuff

[wraith steeple]

[turbid locust]

Potential lead on z790 as well but unconfirmed

[civic reef]

A550BN
C tier on SPL

[cosmic gazelle]

oh yeah can’t run a 3080 on that

[civic reef]

Which is why there's a $110 PSU in parentheses

I was going to run it on the 550W with a 220W PL till I had the A850GLS (A- 850W)

Oh the 550W has only 5 SATA ports

Exactly the amount I need

Though I think it's best I don't run a 3080 with 3 RAID 5 HDDs on that

[edgy laurel]

i'll play with it in a little while

ii'm following the thread in the RenoDX discord, its not great

[merry stirrup]

functional

[edgy laurel]

HDR10+ support is interesting

this guy is livin right

though i'm hearing the max luminance setting does nothing and it overshoots well it

im playing ultra not cinematic idk if i should

[edgy laurel]

ultra with DLAA is the sweetspot for that game it seems

a mixture of cinematic and ultra if you want to be thorough

[fringe vigil]

mog

[hoary hatch]

Do I hwat

[edgy laurel]

oh god whatever you're using for screenshots 🤮

[civic reef]

Okay so
From what I am understanding
RAID 5, at minimum, uses two drives for the performance, like RAID 0. But unlike 0, one drive acts as the "redundancy" (for lack of a better word) drive. So if any one drive dies, the parity in the two other drives can be used to rebuild the corrupted one

[fringe vigil]

this mf scared of you

[civic reef]

RAID 5 seems the way to go for me tbh

3x 2TB drives, around $160 total, for 4TB of storage with okay sustained R/W

[merry stirrup]

ddr3 oc

hardware

[fringe vigil]

mog

[edgy laurel]

@fringe vigil used the settings from HUB

oh fuck, missed RR

[shell void]

timmy said to use DLAA because upscaling makes the game blurry and reduces texture resolution bub

you must obey tim

[edgy laurel]

that wasn't in the image

+4K DLAA is going to run like ass

[shell void]

it is in the image, he did say that, and it won't run bad with the other settings that he chose

[pure garnet]

im not crazy in that pcie gen wouldn't affect gpu clocks right

[shell void]

shouldnt

[pure garnet]

my computer booted up pinned to 300mhz gpu

reboot fixed it but im

[edgy laurel]

Hrm, the image actually says Performance. We'll see how it goes

[shell void]

it says Performance if youre using Ray Reconstruction, or DLSS 4 DLAA / FSR 4 Native if youre not

[edgy laurel]

uhh

[shell void]

im curious if youll see the blur/noise that he was talking about when upscaling though

[topaz veldt]

bro was fucking reviewing on a 5060 Ti

[warm gate]

yall i have to make a research paper about the social and privacy-related influence of AI for computer science.. with a minimum of 5000 FUCKING WORDS and a MINIMUM of 25 sources

gahhhhhhhh

[topaz veldt]

better get started

[warm gate]

i have

[topaz veldt]

ok then

[warm gate]

10/10 front page

[pure garnet]

are you writing a paper in pages (the app)

[shell void]

professor owen emailed nvidia for info about dlss 5 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0EM1vKt36s

[warm gate]

yes

[fervent chasm]

I still have access if it ever comes back online

[pure garnet]

why

[warm gate]

pages is a nice app

i prefer it over Word

[fervent chasm]

Since I graduated in 2024 they’ve left it unplugged because I was the only one who actually did anything with it

[warm gate]

and i have apple creator studio

so i mean why not

[turbid locust]

lmk how you like it

[fervent chasm]

Fixed his low taper fade

[shell void]

it takes a final rendered 2d frame, and then tries to make it look more realistic by changing lighting, and also materials/textures too

it is a literal realtime ai filter

[fringe vigil]

how to get hdr 10

[fervent chasm]

If it’s not bad at it, does it hurt anything?

[shell void]

unfortunately it is bad at it

[edgy laurel]

dunno what you mean. just turn on HDR in the settings

[shell void]

it barely runs as it is right now, and 85% of people think that it looks worse

[fervent chasm]

Is it fully released or still WIP?

[shell void]

just a WIP atm

[civic reef]

I shall use this for my RAID setup

[fervent chasm]

Well then yah I’d expect it to not look right

[warm gate]

this shit is due next week on friday too

[cosmic gazelle]

eeeeeeewwww

[civic reef]

My back will be damned if I ever need to move it but worth it

[fervent chasm]

Get a Phanteks Enthoo Pro 2

[fringe vigil]

My game runs like shit with ray contruction thing

[warm gate]

and my professor gave this out on wednesday

[fervent chasm]

I doubt you’ll find any cheap tho nvm

[civic reef]

How much is that

[cosmic gazelle]

I wanted to use one of these

20L for 6 drives is kinda crazy

[fringe vigil]

The first area of the game is pretty fckn amazing

[topaz veldt]

its prob mid af

[fringe vigil]

its good bro

[edgy laurel]

maybe it'll get better. first area is rough on DLAA but I tried upscaling and the FPS drops to the 30's. Something bugged there, will have to tinker more.

being so dark doesn't help determine many details either

game really has all the hallmarks of an Asian developer. janky in the ways they always are

[hoary hatch]

https://blog.ui.com/article/introducing-airwire

$200 wifi antenna for speed test flexing 💪

[shell void]

HUB was praising the HDR implementation in that game, but it seems very unnaturally dark to me

[shell void]

oh is this a usb wifi nic? that's cool

[hoary hatch]

Seems like it

Do you want 5gbps+ speed test scores

[fringe vigil]

My game running like shit with dls4 and raytracing construction

[turbid locust]

waiting on someone with a relevant gpu to run it

[shell void]

yeh they force you to use max lighting quality if you enable ray reconstruction, and that kills your fps

[fringe vigil]

[topaz veldt]

alright mfs

[arctic bronze]

if only the logo was crimson

[topaz veldt]

lets get it going here

[wraith steeple]

[civic reef]

Had to kill WiFi because of lightning and lack of a surge arrestor here where I am staying temporarily

[edgy laurel]

it does, which is annoying considering everythig is set correctly

[civic reef]

Too expensive

[topaz veldt]

Why the fuck is the foliage freaking out

[edgy laurel]

RenoDX please save us

[edgy laurel]

"windy", i guess

[civic reef]

I could've gotten this one but the guy wanted 300 for it
(i7 4th, 32GB HyperX, 1000W thermaltake PSU, and a GTX 970)

Oh oops didn't embed anything

Here

If I am going to pay 100 for a case I might aswell just get that behemoth

[floral spear]

My setup is ass

[fringe vigil]

Mine don’t seem dark it looks exactly the same as before I switched it on

[topaz veldt]

but the plants and shit are flailing around but nothing else

@fringe vigil wtf

[low sorrel]

@merry stirrup my last 2 raids in ground zero thats supposed to be low level only

@cosmic gazelle

[topaz veldt]

I dunno if Crimson Desert is for me

[fringe vigil]

It gets better

Go to the first area

This is just tutorial

[edgy laurel]

it doesn't seem like it would be. it might not even be for me. the anime style of everthing just irks me.

i'm going to stick with it though

[fringe vigil]

Hm

[topaz veldt]

You bought it?

@edgy laurel I'm going to get another CPU probably tomorrow so I can give you the code if you return

[edgy laurel]

2026 water effects btw (water quality on Cinematic)

[edgy laurel]

if you claimed it its a done deal

[topaz veldt]

I will have a second one

[edgy laurel]

ohh

ehhh, i might be over the 2 hour mark anyway lol

[topaz veldt]

Yeah

[edgy laurel]

also weird texture bugging out on the wall to my right

[topaz veldt]

Frame drop hardcore?

[edgy laurel]

been a couple but it was between fucking with settings. the intro sequence and fight was fine

have to spend more time

[fringe vigil]

give it me

[topaz veldt]

You have it

Silly looking old ass case but perfect for RAID

This thing has FIVE 5.25s, can you believe that?

Look at it!

Okay wow, image got heavily compressed

[fervent elm]

settinng up a new pc with unstable af 8/8 dsl is pain

truly next gen waterfall effects on display here #tech-chat-2 message

why does water fall in angles

[shell void]

XD

i think ive seen similar quality water in my korean mmo from 2002

[cosmic gazelle]

yeah it’s under 20 and 20+

[edgy laurel]

made sure water effects were set to Cinematic (max)

[cosmic gazelle]

level 18 in tarkov takes like maybe a day bro

[civic reef]

Omg

This is for $40 btw
Though the X99 and CPU are allegedly not working

its a remix and remaster

[topaz veldt]

Interesting

I was cutting thousands of Amazon boxes up the other day and had TBS on

@devout ridge
How impactful would a 64MB cache be compared to a 256MB cache for a HDD

Is it worth paying $20 more for a WD Blue drive instead

[nimble pike]

Dell should not be allowed to make computers

[cosmic gazelle]

yes

[civic reef]

How so?
(Not being Argumentative, just asking)

Wait, wouldn't the purple drive be better? - Since it's built to last longer due to the expectation of constant, 24/7 writing?

[nimble pike]

Why would you install an i7 in a computer if you cannot cool or power it?

[topaz veldt]

Ask apple

[nimble pike]

I've also spent over an hour trying to fix their Alienware Command Center

[indigo walrus]

This isn't exclusive to Dell... I cannot think of a single manufacturer that hasn't released a poorly designed device.

[pure garnet]

how much was the fee

[nimble pike]

But it's an Alienware

[cosmic gazelle]

if you’re asking about more cache, hdd performance scales pretty well with cache size

[nimble pike]

You spend $3500 on a PC, you expect it to work.

[civic reef]

I am talking random R/W, or whatever gaming will simulate

[turbid locust]

$0. I sent this email and it was on my doorstep 2 days later lmao.

[pure garnet]

i've never expected a prebuilt system to run a full i7 all core load ngl

[indigo walrus]

Regardless of how much I spend on X, I expect it to work. That's how contracts function. Any manufacturer who cannot abide by the contract they make when I exchange my money for goods or services is doing me wrong... unfortunately, consumer protection laws are a joke in most countries outside of France or some EU locations.

[nimble pike]

When it's targeted as a workstation, yeah, I expect cooling.

[civic reef]

@cosmic gazelle

Also technically it'll either be a 128MB (64x2) or 512MB (256x2) cache because of RAID 5

[cosmic gazelle]

yes this is the main thing cache helps with

[civic reef]

Oh great

Yeah, definitely worth the extra money

Hopefully Blue Drives are still made with a fair bit of quality 💔

I don't want to shell out hundreds for a WD Black 💔 💔

[cosmic gazelle]

you’d have a hard time breaking a new hdd unless you were purposely trying to kill it

[nimble pike]

Are WD Black's that expensive???

[civic reef]

$96 for a 1TB 64MB drive

[civic reef]

Fair enough

[nimble pike]

US market???

[civic reef]

Plus, even if one corrupts, it'll be fine!

[nimble pike]

Wait, SSD?

[civic reef]

Amazon price

[civic reef]

HDD
Spinner drive

[nimble pike]

You US?

[civic reef]

I am not
But the amazon listing I checked is

[nimble pike]

Ah. Local stores here still have them dirt cheap.

[civic reef]

How much?

[nimble pike]

139.99 for 4TB

[topaz veldt]

[civic reef]

Oh interesting

[fringe vigil]

guys like level 83 already

mad armour

[cosmic gazelle]

this shit is so stupid

[nimble pike]

Source

[civic reef]

Oh that's cool
Congrats on the drive lol :3

[cosmic gazelle]

i’m running games offa one of these all the time and it’s great

[nimble pike]

Danke! I've yet to install. I have so many projects going on.

[cosmic gazelle]

it makes quite a nice clickety click noise

[young void]

Keks

[civic reef]

Oh wait I found something interesting

Seagate Skyhawk HDD, 4TB, 5400 RPM CMR, 256MB cache

$120

Cheaper than buying two $75 WD Blue 2TB drives

Though idk if Skyhawk drives are that reliable

[cosmic gazelle]

bro it’s a 5400

[young void]

Sheesh even hdd on the new market is getting grossly expensive, luckily moving most things to ssd now but still weak sauce

Id recommend getting used hdd while theres still a few left on ebay at a fair price if anyones needing a backup drive

sighssssss (ノ-o-)ノ┫, friggin prices

[civic reef]

The WD Blue is 5400 too

[pallid marsh]

has to be the navy

[young void]

Painn

[civic reef]

I won't complain if the store is wrong LOL

[young void]

Just a slower spinning model no biggie

[pallid marsh]

back in my day a 2tb gen 4 nvme cost that much

[cosmic gazelle]

it’s very possible there are two of these models but i wouldn’t go for a 5400

mathematically like 25% slower

[civic reef]

Oh wait
Through WD list
256MB 5400 is SMR :/

[cosmic gazelle]

dude

@turbid locust this is the stupidest shit ever

i have been fighting to enable memory power down for an hour

[pure garnet]

whats the new project this time

[cosmic gazelle]

because there are THREE PLACES IN ASUS BIOS

[pure garnet]

why would you want that on when all it does is add latency

[cosmic gazelle]

WHERE IT NEEDS TO BE ENABLED

[pure garnet]

mcr can be ran with it off as of any recent agesa

[cosmic gazelle]

i don’t want to wait for my shit to train every time i boot

[civic reef]

Not just 25%
It's a fucking 5400 RPM SMR drive

[young void]

Only use advanced tab* Asus is notorious

[cosmic gazelle]

well it ain’t working

[civic reef]

Literally the worst of both worlds

[pure garnet]

i can assure you it do even on my broken board

[cosmic gazelle]

i can assure you my shit won’t restart without entering safe mode on completely stable settings and there’s no other explanation

[young void]

Keks

[civic reef]

Okay I found something

Seagate Barracuda drives

7200, 256, 2TB

Oh
SMR
