[low sorrel]

Or even used 4070

[inland dome]

Not many games will use a whole 16gb at 1440p anyways, so you may as well guarantee you can run 1440p on medium/high with a form of dlss4.5 since preset l on performance (I think?) is optimized for that resolution

[brisk jolt]

hell yeah anything but freeing the 3060 from its suffering

[low sorrel]

I'm getting 80 fps in ACC

[inland dome]

I would wanna argue for the 5070 here, I've not had mfg cause a notably terrible issue in latency nor artifacting

[low sorrel]

That game is surprisingly well optimized

[inland dome]

And I mean I'm not getting a perfect consistent 60 base with this either, it can still hold up down to like 50 base fps

[inland dome]

Wait assetto corsa has a sequel?

Wait its got 3

[low sorrel]

3

[inland dome]

I've been under a rock

[inland dome]

My god I thought it was just the one

[cosmic mica]

isn't the 9060xt same performance as 5060ti thi

[brisk jolt]

5060ti is only slightly faster

[lethal topaz]

bruh my pc just decided to fuck itself for no reason

i left it to sleep and came back with ntfs file error. dism, sfc, and chkdsk do not fix it

i will fix it tomorrow

[cosmic mica]

if i buy a 9060xt what typa cSrd am i buying a high end a mid range or a low tier

[brisk jolt]

the lower end of mid tier

[livid flame]

Your first problem was using sleep

9060xt is mid?

It’s a bleeding 7700xt with better RT

[teal orbit]

most stable windows system

[cosmic mica]

9060xt is a high low tier card?

[livid flame]

I would put it in low tier. I’d put my 7800xt in the lower end of mid tier

lmao

why does him talks in fucking japanese

[low sorrel]

Oh i woke up at 11pm

I'm in the weird state where I accidentally fell asleep at 7 woke up at 11 and now I'm not tired at 4

[wise bear]

yeah that's pretty standard

[dapper anvil]

I talked to them and they told me it should be fine and that they don’t hand out faulty/defect cpus and they handle them with care and that I could’ve damaged it while driving or dropped it 🫤 what should I do

[brisk jolt]

keep arguing with them

[versed crow]

does it run?

[dapper anvil]

I don’t understand why they are making this so hard

[versed crow]

looks like its just cosmetic damage

which sucks

[dapper anvil]

I didn’t put it in the motherboard in the first place because it didn’t look good to me I payed for a new cpu

[versed crow]

as in you now have 2 cpus?

[dapper anvil]

I bought an entire new pc and I was about to build it yesterday

[versed crow]

so are they letting you refund it

[dapper anvil]

That’s just not who I am but I guess I’m gonna have to be like that unfortunately

[dapper anvil]

No they said it’s probably fine and that they don’t give cpus that have damage and I could’ve done that

[versed crow]

you should film yourself putting it in and running it, that way if it works fine youre sorted, and if it explodes you have video proof and can send and demand a refund

[brisk jolt]

Tell them its a physical defect- And that they are never 100% perfect in handling items. Simple as that. Could also ask AI to make up reasons

[frank zealot]

how...wat

[wispy ember]

Anyone got advice for home security / camera systems these days? I assume just a decent number of poe cameras and a handful of switches for when things are opened hooked to something.. Not sure what the something is, what software is used for this these days

[frank zealot]

If you give a shit? Unifi

doesn't require cloud, you can set it up to be as simple, or as complicated as you want

and if you want to invest, you can control your entire network from your phone app

Simplest setup: Cloud Key + A few cameras

Fancier Setup: Dream Machine + Cameras + Switches / Other Tech

And it can go as far as you want after that

[fervent chasm]

I just have a bunch of poe reolink cameras and a 380W budget poe+ switch

[wispy ember]

Ya lost me. Zero clue what any of these are other than Unifi routers

[livid flame]

Just get a dummy camera with an activated flood light. The light goes bing and people run off

[wispy ember]

That then connects to what?

Data without a home isn't useful

[frank zealot]

well, the dream machine is a router, but it's also got internal storage for cameras

[fervent chasm]

Router, then I use the Reolink windows app to store footage locally

Eventually I’d like to remove Internet access from the cameras and set up my own web server to access the footage with the security of my choosing

[frank zealot]

That's why I like Unifi. You can do all of that natively in their software running locally in your place, with zero headache.

[fervent chasm]

It’s more of just fun for me

I like making stuff

Like my Remote Desktop app

[frank zealot]

That's fair. It can also be a huge pain in the ass for a lot of people who won't want to spend the hours/days fucking with it.
So a "This just fuckin' works" is a good starting point.

[wispy ember]

Yeah I don't have that much time

[fervent chasm]

Fs

[wispy ember]

If I can't set it up in a day it's not happening

[fervent chasm]

I don’t have a lot of time now either, I work 7-5

Not as much time as when I was in college

[wispy ember]

I work 440 to 1800 7 days a week

[fervent chasm]

Oof

[wispy ember]

4 days weekend once a month

So time is very constrained

[frank zealot]

yeah if you want simple, and local: Unifi

[fervent chasm]

Does it have AI tracking and that stuff?

Obviously done by the host not the camera

[dapper anvil]

They just told me that they can’t do anything about it and the most they can do is take it to a lab and check if it works, but the issue for me is not even if it works or not but why is it damaged in the first place, I bought a new product I want it to be perfect. Smh

Can’t even enjoy getting a new pc

Gotta deal with this crap now

[fervent chasm]

Tell your cc company they are refusing to take back a defective product

Assuming you paid with cc 🤞

[brisk jolt]

get a refund

[dapper anvil]

I did

The issue is that I drove 5 hours to buy it at a place where it has no tax on the product so I got it cheaper, but if I will do a refund I won’t drive there again and so I will have to buy it in a full price

[livid flame]

Well I guess that’s karma

Dodging tax and got bit in the ass

[wispy ember]

Its a cosmetic flaw I wouldn't fuss about it

[brisk jolt]

you can either refund it or just stick with it. minor defect should not be a problem unless it has no warranty

aka tray cpu

[fervent chasm]

I mean, if you charge back, I don’t think the cc company will even force you to return

[steel stream]

https://videocardz.com/newz/g-skill-showcases-ddr5-10000-memory-speed-on-core-ultra-7-270k-plus

[dapper anvil]

It wasn’t illegal, just a place where it’s cheaper because of the no tax.

[turbid locust]

gear 4, yawn

[dapper anvil]

Yeah but it’s concerning me because what happened to it that it got that mark I don’t know

[steel stream]

shhhhhhhh (yawn is true)

[dapper anvil]

And the thing is I even have a warranty on it that’s I’m like shocked that they won’t accept it

[brisk jolt]

If it dies in the future and they reject warranty it sounds like you could file a lawsuit

[dapper anvil]

Yeah but then again I’m really not that kind of a person I don’t like suing and wasting my energy and time on things like this I’m in a difficult situation here

[steel stream]

Floppa can you please abuse your employer and get me cheap electronics to the point you get fired

[merry stirrup]

YES

[steel stream]

[merry stirrup]

i get to build another computer today

[livid flame]

And it’s allowed to be smug about it too

[merry stirrup]

whats si qa

like that looks like an OEM mobo

[merry stirrup]

its an HP/or dell

if its dell its 2nd gen or older because after that they werent native 24pin

dell but i thought all dells don't fit atx

[merry stirrup]

not true

[livid flame]

System Integrater Quality Assurance

[cosmic gazelle]

weird

[merry stirrup]

older dells were very very much just standard computers but shit

lookup optiplex 790

[steel stream]

it's a frat

[merry stirrup]

thats acutally the exact computer

[livid flame]

Basically he makes mass built PCs for someone like Corsair or Hp and ensures they’re shit enough they come back for another a year later

[merry stirrup]

so, yeah its a dell optiplex 790

[pure garnet]

that’s the one i use at work

[merry stirrup]

that was my first gaming computer

dell optiflex 790

[pure garnet]

youngin

[merry stirrup]

youre mean to me for what

[livid flame]

Dayumn a 2011 pc

[cosmic gazelle]

it would be kinda lit to buy the cheapest cpu for this socket and build a stupid custom pc

[merry stirrup]

what he said

[merry stirrup]

but also this

[livid flame]

I find it ironic J2Cents complaining about Intel being treated like dirt by crimson desert devs, sayings it’s unfair to exclude them and then Intel been doing the same sort of shit for 30 years. Like… is j2cent really more dense than I thought

what software did intel release that arbitrarily blocked hardware from running it

[livid flame]

It has to get shipped back to him then. He don’t need that negativity

[merry stirrup]

guys ive been doing this at home for like 7 years i do a good job 😭 💀

[steel stream]

what

[cosmic gazelle]

do you have to actually do back panel cable management

i'd quit on the spot

[merry stirrup]

i don’t build computers but yes

[pure garnet]

idk the usual bs

[merry stirrup]

every computer we fondle is cleaner than yours by a large degree

[steel stream]

i think ive heard of it before but i cant remember

[merry stirrup]

i built one and they made me redo the cables like 3 times lowkey

[steel stream]

stupid carpeted floors man dusting up my PC

better question is also why would you want crimson desert to be anti consumer because of something that happened 20 years ago

[merry stirrup]

minor things but damn

at the end of this job you're gonna be a single person pit crew for PCs

i built pcs all day then went home and built 2 more computers 😭

got scammed on that haswell shit btw @cosmic gazelle 👎

[steel stream]

you better be able to throw a 5090 in the air, build the rest of the pc, then catch the 5090 and slot it in

[cosmic gazelle]

i think the fastest pc i ever built was recasing my own in about 90 minutes

[cosmic gazelle]

broken or what

you can just bitch to ebay and they'll give you your money back

[merry stirrup]

1 channel and they packed it with geniune hopes and dreams that gravity isnt real

nothing else. no paper. no bubble wrap. no nothing.

i had a guy ship me a laptop that literally wouldn't post and i had to complain to ebay and i got a full refund

[merry stirrup]

FUCK if i know bro

complained to ebay yeah

[steel stream]

what's the gunk on the charger

[merry stirrup]

disappointment now i have to spend more money on a high end board

bro thats why im grippin it by the plug itself

[cosmic gazelle]

this is wild bro i've sold around 10 things on ebay and i've never not just used bubble wrap, it's cheap enough that it's not much of an added cost

[merry stirrup]

yeah dawg

a disappointing end to the day i will not lie

[pure garnet]

i could do the funniest thing ever when i send floppa the ocf

theres a z97 gaming 5 and 4670k that probably just needs an ME update for $60

no but i’ll take creative liberties with packing foam

i had no care for this board i was like "fuck it lets see if it blows up"

[cosmic gazelle]

i had an h81 motherboard that refused to reboot and had to be hard reset every time, turns out it was just shitty ME software that intel shipped that just didn't work

turns out the consumer motherboard my dad bought straight from amazon didn't have the consumer ME, it had the enterprise ME, and if i didn't check first i would have bricked my shit

[cosmic gazelle]

theres a fatal1ty for 65 with no cpu but that's kind of a lot for 1150 lol

i think its power color and that means it probably has i2c and im blowing it up

[reef lance]

Cursed af. Two power supplies, two cases, jumped power connector, mixed components. CURSED!

[steel stream]

gotta keep people on their toes!

[merry stirrup]

i hate polaris its going to be my revenge

[reef lance]

We were talking you sent that and I saved it because of how I cursed I found it

[cosmic gazelle]

i have wanted to put my msi 580 in my lancool 207 and see how much voltage i can give it without it overheating

i bet i could do at least 1.3v

[merry stirrup]

well you get limited to 1250 in driver so, no

[cosmic gazelle]

oh that's stupid

[reef lance]

Frankly, Ubuntu on it just sealed the deal.

[merry stirrup]

the cards are already overvolted from the factory leave them alone

talkin bout some 1150 mv stock voltage

[cosmic gazelle]

yeah but if i want to blow my shit up i should be allowed to

[brisk beacon]

guys is getting 83 celsius during chinebench stress test multi core normal for a 7 9800x3d with a 360mm aio or do i need to worry?

[cosmic gazelle]

yknow whats sad is i can only raise core by like 30mhz from stock boost at 1100

[steel stream]

that's fine

[cosmic gazelle]

this is like a mac bin 580

[merry stirrup]

yeah thats garb

is it a 4G?

[cosmic gazelle]

naw 8g

[merry stirrup]

damn just shit then

[cosmic gazelle]

but it was 45 bucks so idc

[brisk beacon]

the only problem is that im reaching near 86 celsius when playing high cpu demanding games such as hunter call of the wild, and to add on top of that the cpu usage is only at around 40-50%

[cosmic gazelle]

hmm shopgw has a maximus 7 ranger and a z97 poo poo tier board bundled together ends in 2 days

current bid is 15 dollars

[reef lance]

I hear the Halo theme in the background of this photo

[steel stream]

I think that's still fine, as long as you aren't throttling

[merry stirrup]

i got it at goodwill for 7$

straight fire

[reef lance]

Bigfoot

[cosmic gazelle]

i kinda suspect that i'm limited by power delivery or something because theres no way the rinky dink ass cooler on the msi can actually cool anything but the core properly

[cosmic gazelle]

painted in 2029 woah

[brisk beacon]

that is true but im kinda worried that my aio isnt working as it should. from what ive seen, lots of other ppl with the same specs as me usually get around 65-75 with an 360mm aio which is a whole 10 celsius lower than what im at

[merry stirrup]

you cannot tell me it isnt heat its so epic

instantly picked it up when i saw it

[cosmic gazelle]

people do not get 65 on a 9800x3d bro

unless you're talking specifically about gaming temps

[brisk beacon]

ik ist rlly hot cpu but still

[reef lance]

That's what I was about to say! @merry stirrup that painting is so fire, Phil of the Future brought it back for you.

[cosmic gazelle]

if you are under 95 you are fine

[brisk beacon]

-86 celsius is quite alot

[patent gorge]

if you don't throttle, you're fine. if you throttle, the metric that matters is at how many watts of power consumption you throttle - if it's within the expected range, that's also fine

[steel stream]

the chips are meant to run at like 95 degrees so you still have a bit of headroom

[brisk beacon]

it might be that my gpu is pushing all the hot air onto my cpu which increases the temps, i chose a rlly bad case when it comes to airflow

[steel stream]

your fan curve/case setup might be different compared to other people

[cosmic gazelle]

what's the liquid temp on your aio

[brisk beacon]

my fans go absolutley crazy when im raching 80-86

[brisk beacon]

i have no actuall idea how i check that

tell me

[cosmic gazelle]

should be in hwinfo

[merry stirrup]

this is an issue with fan curves

liquid temp is an uncommon measurement for aios to give

[patent gorge]

I mean... fans going to max at over 80c sounds fine

[cosmic gazelle]

oh i didnt know that

[merry stirrup]

not with how ryzen works nowadays

youre still going to be well above stock clock at like 50% fans and raising them a ton more for 50mhz doesnt make any sense

[cosmic gazelle]

but muh 1% lows

[brisk beacon]

is there any way to reach like 75 isntead of the high 80s?

[merry stirrup]

why do you think this arbitrary temperature value is helping your computer

but no, not without hurting your performance rather than helping it

[patent gorge]

80c is still reached only under heavy load unless your cooling system sucks

I don't see those temps in any games I've tried

[cosmic gazelle]

real chads ran eco mode on their 5800x because they had such shitty cooling that they couldn't run stock clocks

[patent gorge]

only under heavy all-core workloads like code compile

[brisk beacon]

but is this temp really normal when u have a good cooler like me?

[pure garnet]

chads
zen 3
loud incorrect buzzer

[merry stirrup]

yes

[pure garnet]

a real chad would've purchased an i7-12700k for $150 from newegg through tiktok shop

[merry stirrup]

i test computers with 9800x3d's and 360 aios and their peak temp is always 95

[cosmic gazelle]

shhhhh

[brisk beacon]

stress or in game

[merry stirrup]

stress, but if a game is putting stress on your cpu its the same lol

[patent gorge]

under stress test, fans being at max makes sense imo

[cosmic gazelle]

i hit 95c on chess.com

[merry stirrup]

80c is not insane

make the fans not freak out at 80c and then youre good

i game at 80c on my cpu 👍

[shell void]

the processor in the macbook neo is constantly banging off of the 105c tjmax, you dont need to worry about being at 60-85c in demanding games

the sweetspot for 120mm and 140mm fans is 600-1200rpm

[cosmic gazelle]

how long has it been since you had to prevent your cpu from overheating yourself or it would just blow up anyways

at least since like p4 right

[shell void]

idk

[steel stream]

since the jurassic era

[pure garnet]

apparently my uni is offering yoga with a goat

[brisk beacon]

well its kinda weird that im getting 86 celsius at 40-50%usage in game whilst getting around 81-83 during stress test

[merry stirrup]

when you have a fast computer that’s doing all it can in any workload to stay fast it’s going to be warm

[steel stream]

oh shit I gotta keep watching the Morgan Freeman Dinosaur show

[steel stream]

you're going right

[merry stirrup]

bros runnin heaven as a stresstest

[hoary hatch]

a free goat with every lenovo yogabook purchase?

[steel stream]

my school had a "ginger run" for St. Patty's day

[pure garnet]

im at work during the session times

[steel stream]

damn.

[brisk beacon]

wdym? im using chinebench as of rn

[patent gorge]

you're not using the heaviest stress tests then. different tests both doing 100% cpu usage doesn't mean they actually cause the same power usage

[cosmic gazelle]

just had to flex on floppa's temps rq (i'm gpu limited and my cpu isn't doing anything in game)

[merry stirrup]

[brisk beacon]

how long does it take tho

[merry stirrup]

not long if you just want to see temps

[brisk beacon]

alright

[merry stirrup]

run occt cpu extreme on an all core load

not corecycling

[cosmic gazelle]

you can kinda judge cooling performance off boost clocks in an all core stress test but that's probably not worth it atp

[merry stirrup]

it’s like 5 clicks i swear

[brisk beacon]

why do i need to choose skin

[patent gorge]

or power usage

[brisk beacon]

th is this

[merry stirrup]

this is also true

[brisk beacon]

flopper popper what skin do i choose

[steel stream]

drip or drown scallywag

@keen wigeon I have a gigantor order coming in and I helped our dude out by letting him buy back gear I had yet to deploy to help another contract of his, as a favor he was like "I can help you with some gear" -- but apparently not on that card

how do i stress test now that im inside of occt

[shell void]

i dont remember what the snatch actually does for us

[merry stirrup]

click cpu, click extreme, click start it’s not that deep

[topaz veldt]

yeah I just don't really want that for home

[cosmic gazelle]

why are there so many am4 motherboards that are literal poop from a butt

[merry stirrup]

you have google, just lookup occt extreme cpu

it's a shame there's no threadripper 3d

how long do i run it for

[merry stirrup]

how long do you want to look at the temperature of your cpu

[brisk beacon]

idfk

[merry stirrup]

your computer is stable bro you just want to put it under load😭

[topaz veldt]

OCCT Personal license, like the paid for not free one, does not work on a PC that is joined to a domain

yes

yea its jumping between 85 and 87

awsome sauce

then i dont need no new cooler

was unfortunate enough to get a gpu w coilwhine tho

[merry stirrup]

yeah just change your cpu fan curves and youll be all good

[brisk beacon]

alr nice im at a stable 88 celsius

[merry stirrup]

its an issue wiith am5 heat transfer and not your cooler

[brisk beacon]

im confused as shit w fan curves

true true

so i should js lower the rpm at higher temps

[merry stirrup]

yeah, like 60-75%

[brisk beacon]

thx for helping me dude

rlly appriciate it

[merry stirrup]

yur

[brisk beacon]

i could ahve bought the tuf for like 1500

but rog is rog ig

[verbal berry]

[merry stirrup]

wheres your 9000 C36?

[topaz veldt]

thats so cute

[verbal berry]

couldve bought a 5070ti and done a +100 core oc and be at the same level

[verbal berry]

in my pc

[merry stirrup]

dont you ha ve ryzen lol

[verbal berry]

no i have intel core ultra 9 485k

[brisk beacon]

true, but we cannot get the design of a rog astral 5080 at the 5070ti level

[pure garnet]

what was going through your head to spend 5090 money on a 5080

[brisk beacon]

which is kinda sad

[steel stream]

damn you want a rog astral?

[wind adder]

What do you guys use to clean your pc, compress air cans ain’t it

[steel stream]

vacuum

[verbal berry]

dude paid $2100 dollars for essentially an overclocked 5070ti

[brisk beacon]

alr got a rog

[topaz veldt]

No one needs a 5090

[steel stream]

🥀

[brisk beacon]

i mean idk whut else to spend my money on

[steel stream]

they need 5!

[brisk beacon]

dont need to save money tbf

[topaz veldt]

I know what you mean

[pure garnet]

you could’ve just had a 5090

[brisk beacon]

brother

here in sweden the 5090s are like 50% more

im not going 5090 level

[steel stream]

sweden ja

[pure garnet]

that doesn’t make the astral a good purchase

[wind adder]

Are vacuums safe to use?

[shell void]

AIB 5090s have been like $3600 for most of the lifecycle

[steel stream]

just keep the fans from spinning and it's fine. Just don't go nuts with it

[pure garnet]

the $1999 beloved founders edition

[brisk beacon]

dgaf if it was worth it or not, needed an astral in my life

[pure garnet]

to do what with

[shell void]

dudes with worse GPUs flaming my guy rexy

[brisk beacon]

i dont just care about preformance but also looks

[topaz veldt]

Here on earth, yes.

[pure garnet]

+15% for +$1500

[steel stream]

5nail lives on mars

[topaz veldt]

Congrats you bought one of the lower performing GPUs 🙂

[brisk beacon]

i mean 5080 still like 3rd or 2nd best gpu out there

im not breaking my bank for a 5090

[pure garnet]

the 5080 isn’t really the part of confusion

[brisk beacon]

i want the best looking 5080 and i got the best looking 5080 (in my opinion)

but keep on hating

[brisk beacon]

haters gon hate🦶

[edgy laurel]

Is this the card thats $1900 brand new and slower than my 4090

[pure garnet]

yeah

[edgy laurel]

rip

[brisk beacon]

and how much is a 4090 now again?

[pure garnet]

1599

[brisk beacon]

used or new

cuz im not getting a used 4090

[verbal berry]

retail is 1599

[edgy laurel]

big 4060 strix vibes 😆

[turbid locust]

beloved $1999 TUF

[pure garnet]

fr

[brisk beacon]

still, here in swden new 4090 costs almost the exact same as a 5090

i have no idea why

[turbid locust]

High vram Nvidia card is high vram nvidia card

fuckers are gonna be stupid prices till the AI fuckery dies

[brisk beacon]

ive got the money, ion wanna wait 2 years for the prices to drop

with the ai demand getting higher every single day

[turbid locust]

I don’t think prices are ever going to drop again for those cards

[topaz veldt]

If you got money why didn't you get a 5090

serious question

[pure garnet]

no he’s referring to the astral 5080

[verbal berry]

because they dont

[turbid locust]

we’ll drop any significant amount while they’re relevant

[turbid locust]

banger

[pure garnet]

it is a funny card i must admit

[verbal berry]

who cares about the 5080 an umamusume event started

[brisk beacon]

didnt want to cheap out on other components.

[pure garnet]

i think i’m more partial to the aorus master as my overpriced aib model though

[turbid locust]

sigh like what

if you’re on a 1440p IPS I’m going to be irate

[brisk beacon]

like mobo, ssd and stuff like that

im ona 1440p oled

[topaz veldt]

so don't though

[brisk beacon]

never going ips ever again

[turbid locust]

nearly just as bad

[brisk beacon]

eeh id rather just upscale rather than downscale

[turbid locust]

….what

[brisk beacon]

plus im mostly going to play at 1440p

[turbid locust]

You have a nearly 2K gpu and playing 1440p

fire

[pure garnet]

can we get a whole parts list i’m genuinely curious at this point

not even hating i just deadass wanna know now

[turbid locust]

inb4 needlessly expensive motherboard and case

AIO with an LCD screen

[brisk beacon]

never

just went for a natilus 360mm

dont need no scrren, just a waste of money

[turbid locust]

for what cpu

[brisk beacon]

7 9800x3d

[turbid locust]

lmfao.

[brisk beacon]

hm?

[turbid locust]

overspent on AIO

[brisk beacon]

what u got then?

you’re missing out on 5655 or whatever the hell spread spectrum picked today

you're missing out on PCIE 1.1

nah bro 7800x3d/1080ti build

[merry stirrup]

oh fire

1920x1080 build?

[pure garnet]

i may unironically source a 2080ti if i can find one with good (non dying) vram

because that would be good backup gpu

[merry stirrup]

shoulda bought the quadro

[merry stirrup]

yep that’s an rgb computer

[brisk beacon]

Worst case for airflow

[brisk beacon]

Mhm

[pure garnet]

the 120 exhaust is pain but otherwise looks nice

[brisk beacon]

Pain? In what way

[pure garnet]

guy knows what he has @merry stirrup

just the gap around it

140 would look nicer

[brisk beacon]

Hm, should I spend the moneys for the 140?

And i need to find me a lil support bracket, the astral is a bit heavy for the vertical gpu mount🥲

it became real quiet in here, whered everyone go

[verbal berry]

i went to make a sandwich

[brisk beacon]

oo nice

i just noticed that it look like radiation hit my phone whilst taking that pic ofr my pc

the rgb looks too blurry

eh i need a new phone anyways

[cosmic gazelle]

yknow what case comes with a support bracket

the lancool 207

[brisk beacon]

NICE

but id rather just go and buy me a new one

[steel stream]

fossil computers, nice

[topaz veldt]

I am so confused

[pure garnet]

it got a giggle out of me

[brisk beacon]

do you think i should get the 140?

[pure garnet]

up to you

[brisk beacon]

i might get some cable extensions also

who knows

[topaz veldt]

ok dude

relax a bit

[brisk beacon]

wut?

want it to look as good as possible

[topaz veldt]

ok - you can decide on a 120 vs 140mm fan and cable extensions, we don't really need a play by play

[brisk beacon]

true, mb

just trying to get opinions also

[brisk jolt]

ew cable extensions

real men get custom cables suited for their PSU

[brisk beacon]

wel is there any for the rog strix 100w?

[pure garnet]

i don’t think cablemod supports my psu yet

[brisk beacon]

1000w?

[pure garnet]

100w? bro using a phone charger

[brisk beacon]

exactly

[brisk beacon]

lets my components use all the power they need

[brisk jolt]

I think you could just go find a cable manufacturer and request for the specific PSU and they’ll grab the pin layouts either online or through sources

[burnt socket]

i still dont understand the 'g7' in 11th gen to this day

[pure garnet]

i’m sure eventually they’ll add it since they did the model prior

but also why would i buy custom cables for a be quiet pure power

[livid flame]

Ewww

Custom cabling is 99% of the time tacky af

[brisk beacon]

what components u got btw?

[brisk jolt]

I only grabbed a 12vhpwr cable and for my SF850 since the cables were long

[brisk beacon]

just curious

[pure garnet]

9800x3d/5070ti

[brisk beacon]

awsome balance, can we see the peice of art build?

[pure garnet]

i don’t think i have a pic of the current case but

[livid flame]

Yknow only a 5090 can use the full potential and is even bottle necked by a 9800x3d

[turbid locust]

This is the seller I bought my OBT from lol

[fringe vigil]

[turbid locust]

Stop it

[brisk beacon]

send me it im begging you

Like genuinely, most GPUs paired with x3d series processors are bottle necked in given scenarios

[pure garnet]

damn i gotta actually get up i don’t have a pic on my phone

[livid flame]

The 9series once even more so

[brisk jolt]

i wouldnt get custom cables unless you really want to target a specific aesthetic

[brisk beacon]

lazy, got get me a pic

[turbid locust]

Any game you’re cpu bound with an X3D with a 5090 you’re in the hundreds of fps range anyway

[livid flame]

Calling a 9800x3d and 5070ti balanced is horrible

[brisk beacon]

well

[cosmic gazelle]

star citizen

[merry stirrup]

i can’t see price homie what

[brisk beacon]

in what way is it not balanced

[pure garnet]

one of the computers of all time

[turbid locust]

5070Ti is about the line of where I call X3D justified depending on usecase

[livid flame]

Been in development since I was probably a teenager

[cosmic gazelle]

i would imagine a 9800x3d and 5090 gives you around 35fps in star citizen on 1440p low settings

[brisk beacon]

look great

[turbid locust]

I personally ran my 5070Ti on a 7700x and 14900k lol

[livid flame]

Black on white whut

[brisk jolt]

sis got the same controller as me i forgot 💀

[pure garnet]

if a faster cpu existed i’d buy that but the games i play only care about cpu

[brisk beacon]

like?

[cosmic gazelle]

bro doesn't have a 9950x3d2 😭

[pure garnet]

ffxiv

[turbid locust]

I had the opposite of it at one point. @topaz veldt loved my skunk build

[pure garnet]

i need more 1t

[brisk beacon]

tf is that

[pure garnet]

mmo

[livid flame]

I had white on black once. Was all ex-display cheaper

[cosmic gazelle]

m5 with water cooling

[livid flame]

Was a b350m mortar with a white asus 1060 6gb

[turbid locust]

It was all black with a big white gpu

[steel stream]

oreo build

[turbid locust]

I would dig up the pic but I’m lazy

[cosmic gazelle]

how the hell did someone passmark a cpu that doesn't exist

[pure garnet]

shout my nic that is just warping

[livid flame]

Cost me like £800 instead of £1000. Was Janky af but didn’t care as was cheap

[shell void]

big white card in a little black PC

[pure garnet]

i bought the evernight for the case then realized the case was shit and never use it

[livid flame]

Saggier than a gran walking down the stairs

[hoary hatch]

Chat is this real

[pure garnet]

for some reason none of the x550-t2s have a metal bracket in them like the x540s do

[cosmic gazelle]

there's 3 290k+ results on passmark so far, who is getting these brah

[topaz veldt]

they are fake

[brisk jolt]

yeah i agree the case is just there not being useful

[hoary hatch]

Engineering samples?

[brisk jolt]

its way too large

[steel stream]

let floppa test it out for you

[cosmic gazelle]

can you just upload faked results or something though? cuz the single threaded doesn't make sense for a 285

[hoary hatch]

@merry stirrup what should I buy for a hundo

[pure garnet]

yeah

[livid flame]

It’s as real as Damocles

I’m convinced he is an AI bot

[hoary hatch]

Nightmare fuel

[hoary hatch]

That's @hot stratus

[cosmic gazelle]

oh wait yeah these results are like .5% better than a 285 it's totally fake

[livid flame]

Wait

[hot stratus]

I'm well known around here

[livid flame]

How do I know none of you are AI bots?

[devout ridge]

You don't

[cosmic gazelle]

[hot stratus]

I love humane pin

That's how

[pure garnet]

the name in the background of the image

[turbid locust]

Did two skunk builds solely to spite @topaz veldt

[hoary hatch]

Im a star wars battlefront 2 (classic, 2005) AI bot

[pure garnet]

damn the xtx was a big boy

[turbid locust]

It was a honker

[steel stream]

the worst part about the one on the right is that it's a radeon card

[turbid locust]

real

that gpu was hotter than my 5090

[steel stream]

also did you take that photo at LTT or smth? I've never seen a room in a house painted with a shade of orange like that

[pure garnet]

what was the zotac

[turbid locust]

3070

[pure garnet]

oh so you had the card i could've had

[turbid locust]

It was the 3070 I had that took the Speedway record for a bit on ambient

[pure garnet]

back when you had to buy literally whatever restocked my friend got both a 3070 master and a 3070 from zotac

[turbid locust]

It did like +1500 memory or some crazy shit like that

[pure garnet]

so he offered to let me get it for what he paid but i skipped

[topaz veldt]

balanced build

[pure garnet]

board more than the gpu goes hard

[merry stirrup]

ocing hurray

[brisk jolt]

this was a shit build

[turbid locust]

Fishtank cases make me sad

[fringe vigil]

[brisk jolt]

its now in a happier place

Ill swap it to a s300 sometime this year

[steel stream]

agreed

[brisk jolt]

I want to build in a A3 but I dont want to own one lol

[mortal pasture]

There's nothing wrong with this case yk

[brisk jolt]

I dislike that ngl it looks bland

Imo for fishtanks you really need something nicer because that just looks so typical and O11 like

iirc the only “normal” style ones I like are the BF360

Otherwise its gonna be the Evol

[lethal topaz]

at least it has wood in it

otherwise it just be the o11 clone

[frank zealot]

Fishtanks look fine. They're common, sure, but there's nothing inherently wrong with the design

[lethal topaz]

its not the neutron style but its dope

[topaz veldt]

that case is literally unusable

[frank zealot]

They're designed for decent airflow, the only downside to most is that they have fairly little space for extra stuff in them

[frank zealot]

howso?

[lethal topaz]

wait matx case?

hold on thats cool

[frank zealot]

that's ATX

if it's the C8 it's ATX

[brisk jolt]

I think for fishtanks I prefer those that have fans pointed at an angle- Like the H6 Flow and HS420

[frank zealot]

meh, it doesn't do much for me either way

[topaz veldt]

joking

[wraith steeple]

HS420 is nice

[frank zealot]

ahh, cuz there are some cases that are basically just that bad lol

[lethal topaz]

fuck the case just put them all out there

[brisk jolt]

My H6 flow was nice but honestly these beefy GPUs I got barely even fit it- HS420 also helps me better as a minitable

[manic sigil]

Oh, even put plants on top

[frank zealot]

just use this:
https://www.bykski.us/collections/chassis/products/bykski-b-wctp-x-elevated-performance-water-cooling-showcase-station-support-for-dual-480mm-radiators-and-equipped-with-dual-advanced-pump-system

[lethal topaz]

then i cant wall mount it tho

thermaltake core p3 the goat anyway

[manic sigil]

Maybe just use TV as monitor,if you want wall mounted screen

[frank zealot]

I will never understand why Bykski didn't put a fuckin' VESA mount on the back of that thing.

[lethal topaz]

what are you talking about

the pc is wall mounted. do you have eyes

[brisk jolt]

If Im doing a PC with a TV in the living room I think Im either doing it on the wall or in another m-ITX

[lethal topaz]

i have a tv anyway lol

[brisk jolt]

Probably would stick with the wall tho xD

[manic sigil]

Oh,cat looks so happy

[lethal topaz]

it actually makes building so easy

and turns it into an art piece

[brisk jolt]

Its also cheaper to over m-ITX

[lethal topaz]

yees

[brisk jolt]

icl i might stop using my chair and just sit on the sofa and couch game on controller

[shell void]

time for the humble life of 5060Ti 16GB Cyclone couch gaming

[uneven vigil]

What is the greatest cpu I can pair with a x370 killer SLI/ac

[lethal topaz]

was thinking about doing that for rdr2

havent played it yet

[steel stream]

controller is def the way to go for rdr2

[manic sigil]

5800x3d

[shell void]

technically the 5800X3D or 5950X, but if i recall you already have a 5600X so i cant recommend buying another CPU for that old board

[uneven vigil]

💔

[uneven vigil]

Wouldn’t it still be faster? I really don’t wanna upgrade boards and cpu 💔

[manic sigil]

Oh,price drop to 350
