[ember hamlet]

Really really weird

[brisk jolt]

I do way more stupid stuff than him so you could pin it on me, but nvidia for me has always been an ez fix

its also more resistant to stupid settings

If its unstable it wont entirely bring the entire system down with it unless its REALLY stupid

one slight bump and AMD would go “hell nah im out”

[ember hamlet]

Idk much about overclocking or undervolting but yeah if it was just nonstop issues then damn lol that really blows

[cosmic gazelle]

this has been my experience yeah

amd cards are significantly less resilient to tweaking

[ember hamlet]

Crazy too considering the AMD Software has undervolting and overclocking settings out of the box and NVIDIA you'd need to download something like MSI afterburner

[brisk jolt]

opening AMD software is a gamble

50% chance it opens 50% chance nothing happens

i dont wanna downplay AMD but the only time it won was during the 50 series driver struggles

[ember hamlet]

The past few driver revisions the software has mostly been stable, I wanna say it opened 95% of the time but yeah its still annoying that sometimes it would just close on its own or simply refuse to open

[ember hamlet]

Their drivers are still iffy sometimes though I agree lol

[whole yoke]

hey i have an a520m-e motherboard and it only support pcie 3.0 and i don't even see PBO on it and im pretty sure it doesn't support overclocking. should i upgrade? i've had it for 5 years

im also thinking of getting a 9070 xt

[ember hamlet]

If you want to overclock and be on PCIe 4.0 then yeah 100% upgade my man

Especially if you're getting a 9070 XT

[topaz veldt]

LOL i was just playing arc for like 2 hrs or more and didn't realize I had my fans at fixed speed, my water temp was 47C

[cosmic gazelle]

a series do not support overclocking yes

[whole yoke]

yeah thats what i was thinking so i might just get a pcie 4.0 supported motherboard that also supports overclocking. i still have my amd 5700x3d which is more then good enough but i don't think my rtx 3060 is good enough to be paired with it so thats why i was thinking of upgrading my motherboard and gpu cause i can't even enable pbo on my cpu.

[cosmic gazelle]

if it makes you feel any better my water was like 60c for a couple years because i’m a dumbass

[ember hamlet]

Yeeah like chips mentioned the A-series doesn't support overclocking, plus PCIe 4.0 is a pretty good jump speed wise over 3.0

[whole yoke]

im only kinda dreading having to take all of my pc parts out of my pc and putting them back on a new motherboard without messing it up. my pc has been prebuilt back in 2021 so i don't really know how i would do it but hopefully a guide would work

[cosmic gazelle]

yeah with that cpu you really shouldn’t use an a series board anyways

[ember hamlet]

The 9070 XT will greatly benefit from the newer slot

[whole yoke]

is it bad with that cpu?

[cosmic gazelle]

higher wattage chips will throttle the vrms on basically any a series board afaik

[whole yoke]

ohhh, maybe thats why im not getting as good of fps as i thought i would be getting

like on siege i've only been getting 180 fps on such a cpu heavy game while i've seen people with worse cpu's get 300+

[cosmic gazelle]

yeah you can track your usage but if your cpu is using like 60 watts and clocking to like 3000mhz then you’re having issues

you could try enabling eco mode for now

[whole yoke]

yeah makes sense i'll try to test it, originally i had a r5 3600 before upgrading to the 5700x3d in 2024 so its a pretty big upgrade

[cosmic gazelle]

if you aren’t throttled you should be seeing about 4100mhz on your cpu while you’re in games

[brisk jolt]

unless you do something stupid like disable vrm throttling its fine

[cosmic gazelle]

still not good for performance tho

[whole yoke]

do i use cpu-z to check this?

[cosmic gazelle]

hwinfo64

[whole yoke]

kk

[brisk jolt]

frankly it wont matter in gaming

it’ll only matter in sustained heavy workloads

[cosmic gazelle]

yeah but he’s getting 180fps in siege so it’s worth checking

[whole yoke]

on very low settings

[brisk jolt]

https://tenor.com/view/higuruma-hiromi-higuruma-jujutsu-kaisen-jujutsu-kaisen-meme-jjk-memes-gif-10370496866020481076

that literally says nothing

[cosmic gazelle]

that’s like half what any 3d cpu should be getting cmon man

[whole yoke]

and on rust i've been getting like 130 maybe on lowest settings

[brisk jolt]

did he say anything about his vrm temps or CPU wattage? no

what if his monitor is like just nice 180hz

[whole yoke]

my monitor is 240hz

im checking my wattage rn just starting up the game

[brisk jolt]

https://youtu.be/gWbThC2Oys0?si=e1wEMcqhAf9AwTPX

[whole yoke]

ngl i think overclocking my gpu helped but im getting like around 200-210 fps on coastline

and on other maps its lower, this is just with nothing happening

if theres 9 other players moving around placing gadgets and stuff its gonna be like around 180 to 160 depending on the map

idk which one to check but this is what my hwinfo looks like @brisk jolt

[brisk jolt]

also btw ur cpu still does the same job at very low settings vs high settings

[whole yoke]

really? lemme check

why's that

[brisk jolt]

thats literally as expected being 60w gaming

[whole yoke]

so my wattage is good?

[brisk jolt]

it puts more strain on the GPU while the CPU does the same thing

[cosmic gazelle]

i wouldn’t expect to see higher wattage than that but that framerate is literally half what you should be getting

makes no sense

[whole yoke]

thats what im saying bro

[brisk jolt]

it’ll only affect CPU if you have settings that directly correlate to it

[whole yoke]

what does directly correlate to it?

ngl im getting more fps on high settings

[cosmic gazelle]

certain games have like crowd density and view distance sliders but siege wouldn’t really matter

[whole yoke]

nvm now im getting around 180 i think its cause i was at an empty part of the map

[brisk jolt]

5700x3d 5060 Very high settings gets like 150 FPS lmao

[brisk jolt]

“but its a random benchmark channel” its still similar to what ur experiencing

[brisk jolt]

are we reading

[whole yoke]

and that cpu is not even a 5700x3d

and thats a 4090 gpu

[brisk jolt]

clearly 5700x3d has ddr5 lol

[cosmic gazelle]

just an error in their writing has nothing to do with results

[whole yoke]

so why do my low settings only get to around 180-200 fps? is it because my gpu sucks? its only a 3060

[brisk jolt]

https://youtu.be/EhH_bGLr7SY?si=EPHVV3gzdwMvY7qJ

this is more realistic

[trim agate]

Man I need a 5090

Sorry, want a 5090

[merry stirrup]

x99 and 4060 pc for 300 bones do i bite

[brisk jolt]

ill sell you my aorus master for 5090 MSRP when I get a 6090

5090 MSRP not 5090 Aorus Master MSRP

[trim agate]

What’s the 5090 MSRP

[brisk jolt]

3.4k sgd

[trim agate]

I’m good chief

[merry stirrup]

YEAH IM BUYINIG THIS

oops caps sorry its not that hype hollon

[brisk jolt]

yeah i remember on techyard the cheapest 5090 was the gamerock at 3.4

[trim agate]

4060 and friends for 300

[lethal topaz]

you are op

you have bypassed warship

[brisk jolt]

lets try

YEAH IM BUYINIG THIS

[lethal topaz]

i guess its not enough letters capitalized to trigger warship

[merry stirrup]

i dont care about the 4060

homie wants it right away so he can have it for 150

[brisk jolt]

i think theres a letter minimum to trigger it

[lethal topaz]

there is

[merry stirrup]

we goated

[lethal topaz]

YEAH IM BUYING THIS NOW

[lethal topaz]

ooh so the limits pretty good

[trim agate]

I want that motherboard

[merry stirrup]

fuck no what do you think i want out of it if its not the 4060

[trim agate]

The case fans probably

That’s the most valuable thing in there

[brisk jolt]

the ram

[trim agate]

Motherboard is bleh who cares just send that over to me rq

[merry stirrup]

theres 2 dimms bro

im here to blow up x99

[trim agate]

Those fans tho they’re elite

[lethal topaz]

wait for 300??? what board is that to have 8 dimm slots

[merry stirrup]

you can literally read it

[lethal topaz]

i cant read

[merry stirrup]

x99-a raider

[trim agate]

😭

[merry stirrup]

yes

its probably a fart board but i mean its a decent deal for the homie and i get an x99 pc

slap my 580 in that bitch and start clockin

[lethal topaz]

annoying that bitlocker is on by default

anyone know what tool is best to see if my C drive is failing?

[brisk jolt]

crystaldiskinfo iirc

[brave panther]

i may have gotten best deal in ram of 2026

https://tenor.com/view/monkey-thinking-monkey-thinking-think-money-gif-9734025314392564509

[lethal topaz]

does free count or is that cheating

that ram slow as shit tho but hey at least its 1.14 euros

[next ginkgo]

it's a sodimm

that's about as good as D5 sodimms get

hence the need for camm2

[low sorrel]

@brisk jolt how do you drive on the nordscheife in acc

i keep on hitting a kurb and dying

[brisk jolt]

i only drive nurburging on ACE since I didnt buy the 24hr pack

[brisk jolt]

you need to practice and know which curbs you can eat

in ACC they are VERY unforgiving

[low sorrel]

I acquired the DLCs legally for ACC

[brisk jolt]

oknice

[low sorrel]

Very legally

[brisk jolt]

I dont know which curbs you can eat on ACC since all the ones I eat are on street cars that arent as low

[low sorrel]

There's some corners that I hit the curb and I'm pointed 30 degrees in the opposite direction

[brisk jolt]

on ACE

[low sorrel]

And then I die

[brisk jolt]

I can probably tell you which ones you can eat

but you’d need to stream and test urself xd

theres a guide to every base track on ACC by traxionGG

[low sorrel]

Lol maybe I shouldn't be trying to learn ACC via the nordschiefe

I feel like there's easier tracks

[brisk jolt]

its the most intensive track and the one where you can learn how to handle the car the best

[low sorrel]

True if I learn it all the other tracks are easy

[brisk jolt]

i’d also just practise simple trailbraking first

I assume you know how to throttle control already since thats easy

[spiral quarry]

lol kept me on the edge while I was beginning. Fun otherwise.

Bathurst still gets me time to time if I’m not too careful going up the mountain. Funny enough I’m going back to the Monaco track in f1 25 again

[brisk jolt]

bathurst is the mountain one right?

in australia

[low sorrel]

yeah yeah I should turn off TC and mash the throttle on corner entry right?

[pallid marsh]

@low sorrel bmp 2 is too strong we didnt die in it vs china (my deaths are from building a feild gun and dying a few time)

[low sorrel]

nerf

[pallid marsh]

3 zbl08 kills one heli 1 full logi and a zls or whatever

[brave panther]

yea its sodimm
do i need it? not really
will i find a nice ai free place for it? yes

[pallid marsh]

ez

[brisk jolt]

are you referring to tcs

just reduce TCS dont turn it off completely

[brave panther]

yes but i might get one of those barebone nuc-alikes

[low sorrel]

im joking

did mash the throttle on corner entry not set off your sarcasm detector

[low sorrel]

no inf?

[pallid marsh]

pure bmp2 start to finish

[low sorrel]

y no kill inf

[pallid marsh]

oh i killed some chinese with the frag 30mm cannon

[brisk jolt]

I mean, its possible if you want to claim the corner in the dogfight xd

[gentle urchin]

I can gladly report back, Gamer Nexus aka Tech Jesus, actually had AMDs flagship 9850X3D as comparison, & not just randomly only picked 9800X3D as LTT had in their Intel 270K+ review ( while also saying "Look AMDs flagship is only 5% faster!!1"... and not comparing to their actually 9850X3D flagship. )

My faith in YouTuber tech slop has been restored

[livid flame]

I mean it really doesn’t matter for gaming does it

The 270kp is still behind the flagship 7800x3d from 2023

[brisk jolt]

At least they’ve finally caught up to the 14900K beating it in price and efficiency

This is their ryzen moment if not for the fact D5 is crazy rn

[livid flame]

Good for production but it’s a little too late for most to actively want to buy it as a primary cpu when other options are probably already bought into

It bodes well for the next socket though that they’ve got their shit together on their new tile design cpu

[livid flame]

I keep hearing this and I’m like… no it’s not. It’s a completely different market now. CPUs are different, the consumer demand is different.

[gentle urchin]

D5? Are you guys playing chess?

[brisk jolt]

I find it optimal for me as for ITX boards theres really no beating the Z890I nova from any AM5 ITX board

[livid flame]

The market will probably see a shift with zen7/next intel platform. If there is a home consumer demand especially for AI, on the cpu could be a cheaper alternative and it could shift again. I have no idea how well the “AI” laptop chips are doing. If they’re doing well… it could well be that there’s a completely different attitude for CPUs in 2-3 years time and both AMD and Intel could see a split in CPU division or even either end up at square 1.

For gaming, I don’t think there will be a shift in the next platform for consumers. So Intel really need to find something to jump 2-3 generations still

[livid flame]

What’s good about the board? More PCIe?

[brisk jolt]

I/O, 3 m.2 and best mem OC among itx boards

extra for me over the current b860i is the better wifi controller

[livid flame]

That’s nice m2 for a itx

I also find it curiously entertaining that some influencers/youtubers are calling the refresh Intel chips the “Ryzen” moment. All of reviewers were critical on release - do not buy Ryzen for gaming with GN calling the 1800x a “hard pass” and a “disappointment”.

And that GPUs were better than buying Ryzen for rendering tasks and there is limited appetite for its production performance.

[turbid locust]

[turbid locust]

Not sure how it would be a “ryzen moment” considering it’s just… better for less money. With that being said, Intels naming scheme is even more braindead now.

[devout ridge]

the 270k being better than the 285k is dumb as hell

[turbid locust]

Yeah exactly

Like this good for enthusiasts and people that will research this kinda thing

but the “bigger number better” crowd will end up buying the slower 285K

[devout ridge]

people are still gonna assume the 285k is the top dog intel chip

to be fair amd has been doing shit like that for a while

[turbid locust]

And then Intel has the audacity to wonder why they keep losing cpu market share

[devout ridge]

the 7800x3d being better than the 7900x3d, the 9850x3d being better than the 9950x3d for gaming

[graceful acorn]

https://www.amazon.co.uk/WD_BLACK-SN770-2280-Gaming-speed/dp/B09QV692XY?th=1 hey everyone, i was wondering if the wd sn770 1tb was a good ssd? i saw a really good deal at my local tech store selling it for £80/$107

[turbid locust]

This is different though. 1. They weren’t refreshes, and 2. Each chip does do something better depending on the circumstance

[devout ridge]

tlc nand, so it's good

[turbid locust]

The single CCD chips are only faster in gaming because of a consequence of the cpu design

[devout ridge]

i want a 16c monolithic amd x3d cpu

[graceful acorn]

ok sweet thank you

[devout ridge]

i also want a unicorn and a billion dollars

[turbid locust]

They’ll never be monolithic, Chiplet is the future

[devout ridge]

i'd settle for a single ccd 16c x3d chip

[turbid locust]

We will theoretically get a 12c single CCD X3D chip next generation

Zen 6 will have 12c CCDs

[devout ridge]

can they please just put the IO die closer to the CCD so we can get higher memory clocks?

[brisk jolt]

got it, instead of 3 business days travel time it shall now be 9 months travel time

[turbid locust]

Each new IMC does higher clocks that’s just a given

It’s just that Zen 2 and 3, and then Zen 4 and 5 shared IMCs

[devout ridge]

true, but AMD's IMC's have been notably lackluster outside of their threadripper/EPYC platforms

EPYC having 12 channel 6400 jedec is fucking insane

then you move over to their consumer stuff, and it's lucky if it can do 6400 1dpc dual channel

[devout ridge]

How'd they get better memory speeds with the same IMC on zen4/5

Zen5 can pretty reliably run at higher memory speeds than zen4

[turbid locust]

In gear 2 yeah but that has nothing to do with the IMC really

AMD just didn’t make ram clock ratios above 8000 work on Zen 4 for some reason lol

[devout ridge]

lots of 9800x3d's run 6400 G1 just fine from what i've seen

[turbid locust]

They all generally max around 6400

[turbid locust]

Design process maturity

[devout ridge]

I've seen far more 9800x3d's run 6400 g1 in a stable manner than 7800x3d's

[turbid locust]

Lots of Ryzen 5000 chips could do 3800 or 4000 than Ryzen 3000 could

But it’s still the same IMC

[devout ridge]

So essentially just minor optimizations in manufacturing and design iterations?

Same IMC, but revised to be a bit more stable

[turbid locust]

Not necessarily revised, just the process isn’t as new so there’s more quality yield and less loss

[devout ridge]

So essentially just higher quality IMC's from manufacturing experience?

Less minor defects within the silicon

Do you think we'll ever see >2 channel memory on consumer boards

outside of ddr5 kinda being quad channel due to the dual sub channels per channel

[turbid locust]

nah that will be strictly HEDT from now on

[devout ridge]

Mostly so it doesn't poach from HEDT platforms?

[turbid locust]

iirc Intel just announced all their new boards will be 1dpc

[shell void]

zen 5 threadripper only supports gear 2, if epyc is the same way then 1dpc 6400 isn’t impressive

[devout ridge]

either 2 channels is enough for you, or you're gonna buy into the more expensive HEDT platforms

[turbid locust]

Kind of that, but really it doesn’t make sense for consumer platforms to support it anyway

Ram prices are goofed rn but like we have 96GB kits

Half these boards only support 128GB iirc

[devout ridge]

it being Gear 2 sounds somewhat familiar, not sure though, and google is unhelpful in this case

[devout ridge]

I was less interested in the ram capacity and moreso the bandwidth

2 channels of ddr5 will always have less bandwidth than 4 channels of ddr5 (excluding some unlikely edgecases)

[shell void]

there are 2x128GB 7200MT/s kits coming out with the U7 270K+ but i cannot fathom how expensive they will be

[devout ridge]

2x128?

Dual rank?

[shell void]

quad rank

[devout ridge]

that makes a lot more sense

those are gonna be some chunky fucking dimms

are they extra tall? or did they just really cram those packages in

[turbid locust]

considering a 270K+ purchase

[devout ridge]

my next purchase is gonna be on LGA 3647

i wanna experiment with DIMM based optane

next computer purchase that is

[shell void]

and this is at jedec that the 270K+ officially supports, they might be able to go higher

[devout ridge]

still working on getting that 4k 27in OLED

[shell void]

[turbid locust]

how much is the 270K+ gonna be again

[shell void]

$300 tomorrow morning

[turbid locust]

word

available online or some fuckery

[shell void]

the newegg page is already up

[turbid locust]

I get 5% back on Amazon tho

[livid flame]

It’s different but conventionally it doesn’t make sense. I think the cpu market does need to split at the consumer level. Especially if these AI chips take off, they need clearer naming or series in numbers for less confusion

It’s not good enough having consumer and threadripper and server imo

[devout ridge]

lots of ram packages

finally finished the exact model of the theater i work in

[livid flame]

For the price of ram, that stick best come with its own personal courier to the door

[devout ridge]

for some reason blueprints aren't readily available, so this was lots of manual measurements

IG local governments are disinclined to give out exact blueprints of educational institutions

[devout ridge]

that's actually an option in the UK with amazon

saw a GPU where you could pay an additional 50 pounds and get a tech sent out by amazon to install your GPU for you

even included removing old drivers and updating to the newest drivers

[brisk jolt]

am5

or if you're not planning on upgrade within the next couple years after this upgrade, then even the 270k would be a great option

[shell void]

270K for sure if you’re a guy that only upgrades once or twice per decade

[devout ridge]

if your next upgrade is gonna be 1-2 years from now, AM5 for sure, if not, go LGA1800 with the 270k or 250k

[gentle urchin]

Ok, ty 4 inputs guys

[devout ridge]

only downside for 270k/250k is a dead platform

like that's it

no other downsides to note

real

but also be aware of the sunk cost fallacy

are you actually going to get use out of the computer you're gonna build, and is it worth the additional monetary investment

[storm elbow]

[gentle urchin]

Can the 6Ghz DDR5 AMD Expo kit be Manually Overclocked to higher Intel friendly frequencys, or is the auto-1-click settings of the day needed/prefered?

[dapper junco]

thats the godly IMC and 2v ram

[devout ridge]

depends on the exact kit and what sample you get, but you can almost always clock higher

Gotcha, I guess I'll pick up a Intel 11th Gen CPU some day & call it a day

[turbid locust]

Which doesn’t matter for 90% of people

Basically only matters to enthusiasts that upgrade a lot

[storm elbow]

i still have old AMD quad cores and ebay AMD only 8GB single RAM sticks sold from exotic sellers

[devout ridge]

paste for dies, pads for VRMs and VRAM

[civic reef]

Well it doesn't have any dedicated VRAM

[shell void]

6000cl36 means that it’s going to be samsung or micron, and those won’t have much tuning headroom, but the performance difference between 6000 and 7200 is negligible anyway

[devout ridge]

6000G1 and 7200G2, right?

[shell void]

it’s always g2 on intel

[devout ridge]

oh really?

[shell void]

and there’s very little difference in games when latency normalized because games don’t use much bandwidth

[devout ridge]

Makes sense

[civic reef]

I assume I can just something like Thermal Grizzly's minus pad 8, cut it into the shape of the VRMs, and place those over them?

[devout ridge]

needs to match the thickness of the original pads

[civic reef]

I am not nearly strong enough for it

[brisk jolt]

me and you will be guns ablaze

[turbid locust]

and then I’m going to kidnap Pat out of his retirement beach house

[brisk jolt]

I wont have the mobo excuse cuz Z890I nova

[civic reef]

I am not home and I don't know if I even own the right size

[turbid locust]

I’m on an APEX

[devout ridge]

looks like PH0

[turbid locust]

NONE of us have excuses

[civic reef]

All I had at home was a beeg driver, and a small driver

[devout ridge]

maybe PH1

[shell void]

nop

[civic reef]

So 2.5mm

[turbid locust]

I think my 265K can do 9000 with some termination fuckery and voltage knowledge I’m not knowledgeable of

[civic reef]

I think there's one here in this small precision driver package

[devout ridge]

yes

[turbid locust]

buy floppers 265K for cheap and grab some random board

[shell void]

fuh no

[civic reef]

Yeah I saw

[turbid locust]

y not

[brisk jolt]

this will be us idk who’s the 3rd one

[devout ridge]

i didn't want mac thinking i was responding to them

[shell void]

i have no use for that

[turbid locust]

the use is entertainment

[civic reef]

Fair

[civic reef]

So 2.5 & 3mm
Should be doable

Hopefully I still have the NVMe screw in my telephone box, since that's where I have the NVMe too

[turbid locust]

you can’t glaze and not buy that’s not how we operate here in TC2

[civic reef]

Okay well
Now I need to know what size thermal pads I need

[brisk jolt]

i cant wait to fit mine into another hotbox with a axp90x36 in the end

[civic reef]

AI overview (💔) says 0.5-1mm

[turbid locust]

Mine will likely never see a case

my 265K has never been off the testbench

g’morning 5nail

Morning

[turbid locust]

5nail I’ve been Stockholm Syndrome’d by Intel again

[brisk jolt]

jesus christ

[livid flame]

Buy it

[topaz veldt]

whats the plan

[turbid locust]

270K+

No 9000 sample I quit Intel forever

[brisk jolt]

im gonna get S21X

If its not a 9000 sample it’ll be permanently tortured with a axp90x36

[livid flame]

I can only find it on Ali express for like £190

Looks nice what’s max gpu length?

[livid flame]

I’ve just seen on Reddit someone got a 344mm 7900xt squeezed in one

Oh wait ignore me I clicked wrong link

[turbid locust]

@topaz veldt buy one with me

[livid flame]

Buy one from the same retailer at the same time. Then watch Mac get the bad bin

[turbid locust]

Probably

but tbf he has just as many problems with ARL as I do

[shell void]

i think fellas might have unrealistic expectations

9000 isn’t a given

[turbid locust]

neither is 6400 1:1 or 8000 2:1

[brisk jolt]

one? nah bro is gonna buy 4 and bin till he gets 9000 for the love of the game

[topaz veldt]

I may

[turbid locust]

[topaz veldt]

@turbid locust NewEgg doing like $360 trade in on 285K

[turbid locust]

LOL

[topaz veldt]

so I am thinking of doing that so I don't have to sell the 285K

[turbid locust]

hoping Amazon will have them available to prime ship

[brisk jolt]

I hope the 270K here boxed doesnt get marked up to heavens

im taking kyoko’s advice and not buying any other tray

[turbid locust]

I need that day 1 bin

the day 1 bin strat worked for the 9850X3D

[wise bear]

lol

[topaz veldt]

Day 1 has never failed me

[brisk jolt]

fuck do I just sell my b860i and 265k to the friend asap then and follow Mac

270K releases 27th March for me

[random flame]

Hmmm...

[turbid locust]

Well you still need a board

[brisk jolt]

im getting the z890i nova since I FINALLY found it

[turbid locust]

fire

[brisk jolt]

inb4 they tell me OOS im gonna crashout

[topaz veldt]

I think 270K+ is 26th here?

[brisk jolt]

Yes

[turbid locust]

yeah tomorrow

[topaz veldt]

word

[turbid locust]

9am EST supposedly

[brisk jolt]

270K releases the day after the US gets them for us like always

[topaz veldt]

Should I hit MC?

[wise bear]

yes

[turbid locust]

I’m going to say yes so you can buy two and ship me one faster than Amazon

[topaz veldt]

they always limit to 1 regardless on launch day

[turbid locust]

Ugh

Well I know my fuckass Best Buy’s won’t have shit day 1 so

It’s Amazon or Newegg for me

[random flame]

I had contemplated going Intel over sticking to AMD a bit. Though I'm still on the fence about that...

[topaz veldt]

depends on what you have, this is not the CPU to go to Intel over

[turbid locust]

yeah depends on what you’re on currently and what you do

[brisk jolt]

fuck it im bundling my b860i 265k and 32GB DDR5 at cost to a friend

[shell void]

if you already have a decent computer and you’re not financially irresponsible like us then you should wait for nova lake

[topaz veldt]

or buy my X670E Hero and 9800X3D/9850X3D

[shell void]

[turbid locust]

irresponsible?

inshallah the 8p12e 144MB Nova Lake CPU will be the value reaper

[turbid locust]

I can’t wait for Nova lake to be another single generation socket

or it’ll be another z690/z790 shenanigan

same socket but DDR6 locked behind refresh boards

wait holy shit I just realized

I could totally buy a cheap LGA1851 board and make my 265K my NAS/home server chip

[arctic bronze]

Thats the best part about intel

[turbid locust]

wait fuck no it’s a KF it still doesn’t have quicksync

FUCK

[brisk jolt]

NOOB

HAHGAHAAHA

[shell void]

bros regretting saving that $30

[turbid locust]

I will simply buy a 245K when prices drop even harder

[brisk jolt]

dude saved $30 to get macbinned again

[turbid locust]

They only had KF’s when I went to MC that day

[brisk jolt]

Im gonna open the pricelist and seeing distributor scalping the 270K arent I

[shell void]

i (wishfully) assume that they’ll use LGA1954 until DDR6 and PCIE6 are ready for consumers to adopt so maybe three generations

[brisk jolt]

for the Z890I retailer

michael you have to understand this B860I’s wifi controller is absolute buns I must at a minimum replace the mobo so I might as well get a 270K

[turbid locust]

You think it’s gonna be 3 Gens? I was kind of expecting Zen 7 to be DDR6

[brisk jolt]

I expect Zen 7 to be D5 as well due to the current hiccup

[turbid locust]

yeah maybe

Honestly I’m down, AM5 can be 4 gen socket I don’t mind lol

[civic reef]

My laptop wasn't brought :<

[brisk jolt]

Im down to delay D6 to reap the most of LGA 1954

[shell void]

i thought that Zen 7 would be AM6 as well until i saw the X870E boards coming out with twice as much bios memory

[brisk jolt]

before it gets entirely powercrept

[turbid locust]

Would probably make me more likely to buy it

[shell void]

they’d be smarter to reuse the Zen6 IOD and keep it on AM5 if memory pricing is going to stay screwed

[turbid locust]

X670E Gene with a Zen 7 chip

[shell void]

[merry stirrup]

meow

[turbid locust]

Flopper I’m buying a 270K+

[shell void]

there’s still some room to grow with ddr5 it’s okay

[brisk jolt]

mac and I will be guns ablaze if we dont get 9000 bins

[shell void]

it’s jedec spec’d up to 8800MT/s

[turbid locust]

9133 or bust

[brisk jolt]

10K or turd

[turbid locust]

Real

In day 1 bin we trust

[merry stirrup]

just heavy

you can fit 4r onto normal dimms

[turbid locust]

man I really need a decent gpu for the test bench to test gaming performance scaling properly

[shell void]

buy your own 5070Ti back from floppa

[turbid locust]

What’s he gonna daily then lol

[shell void]

5090

[turbid locust]

@merry stirrup buy 270K+

[merry stirrup]

i am

[turbid locust]

fire

so 4 of us to compare at least

[merry stirrup]

i get 10 chip to bin if the boss buys a decent board

[turbid locust]

cheating

[merry stirrup]

or i’ll bring the ocf

[turbid locust]

if you do it can you do it within 30 days

so I can return my 8400 sample

[brisk jolt]

Im gonna be 12 hours late minimum

[turbid locust]

I mean I’m going to have to wait 2 days minimum for shipping

[brisk jolt]

I wont buy if the distributor scalps

[brisk jolt]

265K launch price was literally $600 SGD which is absurd

[turbid locust]

oof

[brisk jolt]

If its more than 450 for a K, im not buying bcs atp it is indeed scalped

[merry stirrup]

i will try

[turbid locust]

Flopper becoming my personal hardware plug was not on my 2026 bingo card

[merry stirrup]

i’m more focused on memory

but now we all get binned cpus and memory and we can lie and say first try

[turbid locust]

[merry stirrup]

frick you hwbot

[turbid locust]

I haven’t even paid attention in so long I don’t even know what a standard H24M kit goes for nowadays

[merry stirrup]

me neither

i want like less than 100$ a dimm and i’m pretty happy

[turbid locust]

This can’t make its way to hwbot btw they will probably crucify you

[merry stirrup]

for binning cpus?

[turbid locust]

For binning cpus you didn’t purchase

[merry stirrup]

i mean it won’t but there’s a lot more sketchy people even in our team lol

i mean marc signed me up for the marines

[turbid locust]

Yeah but like they’re already wary of people getting stuff from Asus

they outright ban binned HW from manufacturers in competition

[merry stirrup]

interesting

either way we lit

i want memory and cpu

[turbid locust]

Yeah it’s not like I sub on hwbot anyway

[merry stirrup]

i’m also not the manufacturer

[turbid locust]

Is the ram you have a specific manufacturer or

[steel stream]

https://videocardz.com/newz/intel-launches-arc-pro-b70-at-949-with-32gb-gddr6-memory it's alive! @shell void @hoary hatch

[merry stirrup]

it’s what we buy

[turbid locust]

Because I would be interested in some half decent gskill H24M

[steel stream]

https://videocardz.com/newz/asrock-shows-z890-taichi-10th-anniversary 4 dimm taichi

[merry stirrup]

what’s pictured is the kingbank 6k 28 24g dimms

[keen wigeon]

get me them pro cards

[merry stirrup]

so i mean that’s where i was gonna start

i haven’t seen a workstation build yet aside from beefcake cpu

9950X and X3D

[steel stream]

B70 pro is interesting, but I want one of those AB60 Dual cards

[turbid locust]

I could be interested if the price is right

I would trust flopbin

[merry stirrup]

i think you’ll be happy if you have 6k c24 binned dimms

[turbid locust]

what voltage is the XMP anyway

[merry stirrup]

either 1.4 or 1.45 i don’t remember

[turbid locust]

My green stick H16A do 6000c28 at 1.35v

[merry stirrup]

yeah

its also h16a and not the xmp profile

[turbid locust]

For H24M I’m more interested in >8000MTs anyway

[merry stirrup]

8400

[turbid locust]

bin for my CUDIMM XMP?

[merry stirrup]

on the fart

[merry stirrup]

what is that?

[shell void]

woah that’s cheap

[steel stream]

yeah pretty cool to see, I'm curious to see when Wendell gets his hands on it and what he thinks of it

[turbid locust]

8200 40-52-52-128 @ 1.4v

[steel stream]

i still want to see a battlematrix system benched with 4xB60 dual pros

[shell void]

this is amusing

[steel stream]

insane

buy 64GB of ram and get this CPU free!

[shell void]

a year ago nobody would buy that memory because it isn’t hynix

[merry stirrup]

homie its a higher bin by default

[reef lance]

Lmfao. Damn I would 100% buy that in this current market if I actually needed to upgrade.

[turbid locust]

for tCL yeah

what’s the tRCD of that kit

[merry stirrup]

35? 36?

[turbid locust]

again half the reason I’m interested in >8000 testing is some PCBs fall on their face above that

[merry stirrup]

well the pcb is verified now to do over 8k

i assume well over that if its doing 8400 on a 4 dimm ryzen board

[turbid locust]

who tf is BIWIN

https://a.co/d/03gcNJAn I hate really tall dimms but lol

[merry stirrup]

cheapo ssd and dimm manu

[reef lance]

I really need to try and mess around with the speed and timings of this sometime while I'm still on Intel. Unless AM6 (which I'm likely upgrading to when it comes out in the future depending on what is going on at the time) can take faster ram if I want to mess around OC'ing this ram I should do it soon while I'm on Intel.

[merry stirrup]

we have the fancy vcolor oled dimms lol

[turbid locust]

https://a.co/d/07MRxmUc would rather just buy this tbh

[merry stirrup]

well if instead you pay half price for kingbank i feel like it is a semi nobrainer

[turbid locust]

bro what

[turbid locust]

oh yeah for sure I thought you said it’d be like retail prices

[merry stirrup]

si pricing

[turbid locust]

that’s what I asked you the other day and you said no lol

[merry stirrup]

yeah so theyre 28-35-35-76

[turbid locust]

if that’s the case I’d buy unbinned even

[merry stirrup]

i assumed not but i indeed do

so theyre a higher bin by default

ish

[turbid locust]

Time to bring the 265K and OCF to work and bin for 9000

[merry stirrup]

unironically tho

[pure garnet]

no board today very sad

[merry stirrup]

also the heatsinks

are quite possibly the best ram sinks ive seen in terms of like, being heatsinks

[turbid locust]

Nice

But yeah if you’re getting SI pricing I’m definitely interested

[merry stirrup]

will let you know if im allowed to buy a handful

[turbid locust]

I won’t stop you from binning but like I would buy without hesitation lol

[pure garnet]

floppa bin boards that have working sleep mode for a sister

[merry stirrup]

i love you kyoko but when you touch a board it loses the sleep function

[steel stream]

it'll stop working after shipping

[pure garnet]

well actually rn i’ve just lost the pcie function

maybe i dont want your garbage board for my wife DAMN

[pure garnet]

they’ve ignored my tickets

kyoko is cursed

kyoko touch of doom

well did you see the update where pbo disabled resolves it

[reef lance]

I've seen you post a bunch of stuff from work before, what do you actually do for work?

[merry stirrup]

yeah i thought you were doin that

Still on the same aging Ryzen 3600. Lol.

[pure garnet]

yeah then i enabled pbo again last night and it’s back

[merry stirrup]

[pure garnet]

so pbo off spread spectrum on is a working config

[merry stirrup]

ill probably build a couple throughout the next month or so prolly, like 1 a day tho

Now he's on a Ryzen 7600x

Maybe I should have gotten him an X3D. Too late now.

[merry stirrup]

[pure garnet]

considering he was on haswell forever he’s probably fine

[merry stirrup]

thats the one i built yesterday

i did a 5080 one on monday

[pure garnet]

radeon :/

[steel stream]

I hope you washed your hands after handling that card

[merry stirrup]

yeah the asrock thing felt plasticy af

[pure garnet]

was it the zotac 5080

[merry stirrup]

no i havent seen one of those otherwise

[pure garnet]

from the wall of nia

[merry stirrup]

i think thats deadass the only one we have and i want to buy it

and an MLG but ill kjust buy yours

broken pricing is cheaper than SI pricing

[pure garnet]

😭

dw bro they’ll get back to me eventually

[merry stirrup]

but yeah apparently case fans are about 2$ to make

and so on

If Newegg sells out instantly, then they're an L

why?

seems perfectly reasonable to me

pov my hynix p31 gold

[reef lance]

Yeah I totally wrote over this external drive fully 124x times Man even my very well used C: drive only has 74,000GB of writes

I honestly have no idea what would have caused this things data getting messed up, though

Reformatting? Maybe?

I don't know enough about SSDs.

I just know I used this drive as a game drive on my laptop in the past. I know I reformatted it quite a few times trying to get rid of a programs folder that wouldn't disappear, but DAMN

Like I did a full reformat once instead of a quick one just to see if that would fix it

I have since fixed that, but yeah idk.

Hey Floppy, here's a new level of RAM Bullshit we haven't seen before:

100mg melatonin

[frank zealot]

I'd suggest cbd before melatonin. I know a lot of people melatonin doesn't work on.

[steel stream]

i've never taken melatonin before but 100mg seems like a lot

[wise bear]

you normally take like, 5mg

[keen wigeon]

but you can't actually OD on melatonin unless you eat like, 20 grams of the stuff

[steel stream]

ah

eternal slumber

but free shipping though

[keen wigeon]

ooo

[wise bear]

100mg a night for me has me blacked out in under an hour and I get at least 8 hours minimum, no grogginess

I'm..

Intrigued but disgusted at the same time

[reef lance]

Not really worth it. When you replace the water you could use it for plants, but I'd only do that outside. It will make your house smell if you use it to water/fertilize indoor plants.

[wise bear]

I meant like for a veg garden outside

[reef lance]

You can definitely put their bodies in the garden when they pass.

not the best idea to water plants with it 🙂

If I ever got into salt water tanks I would definitely like to try and keep a small octopus or squid. But you'd need a big tank and a lot of care.

They're beautiful creatures

But maybe it's better to just keep them in the wild

Yeah, that would be a lot of work and a massive tank

right now they're living in a fishhotel tank that is a few rocks and some sand

[keen wigeon]

clown fish are assholes

[wise bear]

[keen wigeon]

two of mine brutally murdered a lawnmower blenny

[wise bear]

I'd wanna have crabs and various shrimp

[keen wigeon]

I watched them bully it into the blades of a wavemaker

[wise bear]

WOW

[reef lance]

I want a tank for crawfish. I love those little guys.

But they can do freshwater

I need to get some hermit crabs

I like little crab guys

[keen wigeon]

yeah clown fish are savages

ALL LIFE RETURNS TO C R A B

It is the truest form of life

Hello people can I ask a question

[reef lance]

IT MUST ALL BE

C L O W N

This tank ain't big enough for the both of us

This is honk honk territory, son

Get clownin' or get honked

[keen wigeon]

lol

there are some clowns that are friendly but most are assholes

[reef lance]

Yeah it doesn't really surprise me. A lot of fish are dicks

This is why we need C R A B

[keen wigeon]

fishsticks?

[lavish crown]

Hey have y'all heard of gsync pulsar

😭

[reef lance]

https://tenor.com/view/hug-kanye-west-south-park-s13e5-fish-sticks-gif-23033547

[keen wigeon]

^ yes

[reef lance]

I don't know what that is

[keen wigeon]

it is backlight strobing that is in sync with framerate on a VRR display

[honest ember]

Yeah. Add the shipping cost too.

[lavish crown]

Well it's from my country so it's not that much

Hehehe

[honest ember]

I bought a Gaming Headset and it cost me a fortune. Shipping was more expensive than the price itself

[keen wigeon]

Well pulsar is really meant for GPUs and games that have trouble with framerates

[reef lance]

But yeah I don't believe I'll ever do it. I don't even think I'll ever actually get a salt water tank, but maybe someday. I do want to get a fish tank again, but that's enough work. Salt water tanks require more work and dedication, and trying to keep an octopus even more so. I think I'll stick to watching documentaries about them and seeing videos from people who are dedicated enough to keep one. They're beautiful animals, I love them a lot. One of my favorites. But I'd rather just not keep one than give it a bad life.

[keen wigeon]

it also helps deal with ghosting on slower panels

[honest ember]

what's all the salt water thing y'all talking about

[lavish crown]

I'm reading

[keen wigeon]

Salt water isn't bad at all. You really just need to pay attention to 4 things - pH, alkalinity, calcium and magnesium

and water changes can deal with ACM

pH is the one that can suck

[honest ember]

I failed chemistry test last week

[lavish crown]

Thank you I will purchase it

[keen wigeon]

It is a nice display by the way. Acer makes great gaming displays

[lavish crown]

Thank you. ^°^

[merry stirrup]

[shell void]

doesn’t that mean that you have to disclose your investment before recommending intel products to anyone? XD

[merry stirrup]

only if you own a large amoutn of stock lol

[pure garnet]

i hereby disclose than i own maybe $200 of intel stock in an account my financial advisor controls

[merry stirrup]

[brisk jolt]

i refuse to acknowledge them as the f or d word

[pure garnet]

[merry stirrup]

Stick figures on crack, baby.

West coast makes sense

[merry stirrup]

WEST SIIIDEEE

[wise bear]

AYOOO

[merry stirrup]

my flopdolences

[pure garnet]

i’ve never taken an uber

[turbid locust]

you’ve also probably never been drunk in a Jimmy John’s

[merry stirrup]

oovoo javer

[pure garnet]

i think that’s an ideal condition

[low sorrel]

Dude if I had like a supercar I think i would set up Uber for the memes

[merry stirrup]

[turbid locust]

?

[pure garnet]

mac just be doing things

[merry stirrup]

you cannot hit me with “?” to that

[pure garnet]

[pure garnet]

[low sorrel]

Anyways drop.com is shutting down today so if y'all wanna buy anything from drop...

dlss 4.5 performance with RT disabled go brr

muh framez

[merry stirrup]

reasonable spec requirements won’t lie

[turbid locust]

I have a 5090 I’m turning on RT

[merry stirrup]

yeah

i will too i play at 1440p lol

[turbid locust]

This is how it should be presented for every game btw

[pure garnet]

game looks pretty well optimized

[merry stirrup]

forza usually is tbf

[turbid locust]

“Recommended” and “minimum” mean nothing if you don’t tell us performance targets

[hoary hatch]

A580?

Seems like a typo

[turbid locust]

That card does exist

[hoary hatch]

A580 should be worse than 3060ti

[merry stirrup]

a lot

a750 is lol

[hoary hatch]

Either the game is hilariously optimized for arc or that recommendation is wrong

[shell void]

i would love for arc to just be stupid good in that game

[merry stirrup]

who’s testing intel cards in qa lol

[frank zealot]

it would be hilarious, and make crimson desert look even worse

[merry stirrup]

slop desert?

[frank zealot]

Does the A380 even keep up with a 1650?

[merry stirrup]

@topaz veldt your fav game btw

[pure garnet]

tpu has the a380 3% behind a 1650

[brisk jolt]

does FH specs list really matter when it runs on what we all consider to be potatos

[pure garnet]

https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/arc-a380.c3913

[frank zealot]

close enough

[nimble pike]

Anyone in chat have any good recommendations for a router. The TP Link one I'm currently using from my ISP is starting to go.

[frank zealot]

What do you need and what's your budget

[merry stirrup]

1$ and wifi 7

[frank zealot]

I reccommend dreamland

[nimble pike]

Something that won't die, works in a 2 story building, and $200 or less.

[pure garnet]

a580 is probably a typo for b580 but

[turbid locust]

I like my TP Link Deco mesh router/APs, about $150 on amazon

[hoary hatch]

Just gotta run it for like an hour

[pure garnet]

list looks fine unless it’s arc sweep

[frank zealot]

"won't die"
Doesn't exist

[hoary hatch]

Unifi Dream Router 7

[turbid locust]

Oh yeah what I said will be perfect then.

[merry stirrup]

on a lotta cards 😭

[low sorrel]

@brisk jolt wtf are these race suits

[merry stirrup]

[turbid locust]

https://a.co/d/06riS3lJ @nimble pike these bad boys cover my 2400sqft home just fine

[pure garnet]

@shell void @steel stream the issue with my local playback yesterday was i accidentally disabled hardware acceleration and the a15 cpu just hid the issue until i used bigger sized movies, reenabled it and now my buffer is half the movie at any given time

[merry stirrup]

[pure garnet]

my atv

[brisk jolt]

[merry stirrup]

[brisk jolt]

https://tenor.com/view/kimi-antonelli-george-russell-mercedes-f1-kevvyinho-gif-5743567642411239244

[turbid locust]

[nimble pike]

I don't think I have a single device that uses WiFi 7

[pure garnet]
