[pure garnet]

one time usps sent my package to a random small town with 30 people because it looked like my legal name

[cosmic gazelle]

just run eco mode on da cpu ez pz

[steel stream]

well shit

[sharp heart]

already running 105W eco mode + every single LED turned off + possibly setting a power limit on gpu

waiting for the chieftec stealth 1200W to arrive, then i'll be fine

[steel stream]

took them over a day to get it from point A to point B

when it's supposed to go to the green

[turbid locust]

Asus cooler scores are so weird lol. Watching Skatterbencher’s 270K Plus video and he’s on custom water and it gave his cooling a 95, yet I use a $40 AIO and mine was like 160 something

[pure garnet]

those adjust over time

system is at 110cpu sp 162 cooler sp

[steel stream]

i didn't know asus had a cooler score

[pure garnet]

also this is insanely consistent

[turbid locust]

So based on Skatterbencher’s video, 200S boost also did 3.2 D2D and NGU which is normal because that’s the max limit of 200S, but his ring seemed to be between 3.7 and 3.9. His chip is SP 89.

Could be a difference in boards tho. He’s on a Hero

[shell void]

sadge that i can’t view per-core VIDs on MSI

[void roost]

is a 3050 laptop good rn I have a 1060... but im graduating soon and im getting a macbook pro

[shell void]

i remember that they were all within +-15mv on the B650E-E though

[void roost]

but id want 2 laptop

im looking at this but im going to to the store to get a ipad

but i remember i needed a ne laptop

[cosmic gazelle]

that’s a pretty bad deal

[pure garnet]

what

[whole coral]

You have got to be kidding me

The new ISP comes in offering this. Eventually gets to $105 a month

Seems like an oligopoly is forming

[pure garnet]

did you just see that in scrabble or something

[pure garnet]

the drive eater of doom

[whole coral]

The price is definitely disappointing

Was hoping for like $65 a month starting

[young void]

I spend like 160 a month on my 2 gig with xfinity

144* sorry

[shell void]

[shell void]

i’ll take it bro i still have 300/20Mbps cellular

[whole coral]

Yeah I guess

[turbid locust]

buying a cheap ok-ish Strix to view SPs and VIDs and then switching to a better board is kind of a strat lol

[whole coral]

It does include the WiFi router and plus free $100 gift card allegedly

[shell void]

that’s so much effort

[whole coral]

Also no contracts which is nice

Definitely gonna have some leverage against Cox

[turbid locust]

It is but for nerds like us it’s viable lol

My gene wasn’t cheap but I know the SP and VIDs of all my AM5 chips now lol

Well, except my 7700x. That chip was banished to the NAS.

[pure garnet]

if i didnt want to waste duronaut i'd get the sp of my 7800x3d for giggles

because i know that chip is worse than this 9800x3d

[cosmic gazelle]

yo uh

how do we feel about 1.5v on ddr4 for a daily tune

fine?

[hoary hatch]

Send it, king

[pure garnet]

kaboom

[cosmic gazelle]

I mean these sticks are 28 bucks so like

🤷‍♂️

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7fVDB4xXvy0

wake up babe new video for autistic people dropped

(i will be watching)

[shell void]

puter still works, we good 👍

[burnt mortar]

I just screenshot it cuz I'm on phone

But how the hell does this work

[fleet marsh]

Boards toast isn't it ? Bent pins.

[pure garnet]

i mean you could try bending them back

[burnt mortar]

If it's just that top right section, they don't look broken off

Could be fixable yep

[fleet marsh]

I can try. My hands shake bad lol.

[pure garnet]

what did you change

[turbid locust]

What ic

[pure garnet]

interesting

[turbid locust]

aw yeah bruv this will translate to my 270K. I like how BZ explains things.

[turbid locust]

Proud of u

[turbid locust]

$849 cpu in a $200 board

[pure garnet]

im gonna boot up the mpower and it's gonna start doing the weirdest shit imaginable

[turbid locust]

naw

[shell void]

im going to try dailying the curve optimizer value that is OCCT stable, but not YcruncherVT3 12Hr+ stable to see if i encounter any issues in daily use (-40 allcore)

it lets me sustain 5425.00MHz effective clock in CBR23 and get a higher score

[turbid locust]

[shell void]

i wish i had ECLK

this chip is better than the vast majority of 9850X3Ds

[turbid locust]

praise be mpower

[shell void]

goated board for sure

probly wouldve bought it if it existed when i bought this cpu

[cosmic gazelle]

its like shitty b die

[turbid locust]

You could probably buy kyoko’s she doesn’t even like it

[cosmic gazelle]

not the good stuff

[turbid locust]

if it’s not S8B then you could degrade it at 1.5v

[shell void]

everything that kyoko touches gets cooties somehow

[turbid locust]

True

[cosmic gazelle]

is 1.45 safer?

it’s 8gb samsung b die but it’s like a variation that sucks

[shell void]

if you don't have a fan on your ram then don't bother boosting voltage

the subtimings that actually boost gaming performance aren't really voltage sensitive

[cosmic gazelle]

well i’m more just doing benchmarks i don’t plan on actually using the pc like this

but i feel like benchmarks on non-dailyable settings aren’t what im looking for

[turbid locust]

https://us-store.msi.com/B850MPOWER?utm_source=pricespider&utm_content=69c7ff528bdb646338beb208&CID=product&AID=_product @shell void only $230 and you could probably sell the Tommy HawkTuah to recoup most the cost

[shell void]

i wonder if newegg does motherboard trade-in

[turbid locust]

pretty much nothing meaningful scales past 1.4v

[cosmic gazelle]

it’s gonna be apu gaming so this isn’t really true for my scenario because performance will directly scale with frequency

[shell void]

you can increase frequency without increasing voltage by loosening primary timings to maintain the same latency

[cosmic gazelle]

i’ll just stick to 1.4 i just saw that bz was using 1.5 for his 2400g oc profiles so i didn’t know if that was safe

[pure garnet]

both of my systems have eclk now

[shell void]

looks like they do not, unfortunate

that's okay my puter works i will just stop thinking about it

[turbid locust]

I still think the mpower is an amazing board for the price

[shell void]

even though the X870E Dark Hero is so pretty

[turbid locust]

even though they raised the price $30 after the initial launch

[shell void]

i wish it stayed at $200, but it's still my go-to board when i recommend to other people

[turbid locust]

Yeah 100%

[shell void]

it's the cheapest way to get every feature, and mATX is popular nowadays

[pure garnet]

the hero is probably my next board for a daily system

[turbid locust]

And ram oc’s really well. Basically the only board that beats it is the Apex

[pure garnet]

i wish msi supported it better

half the time for mpower the good bioses are either modded or from a leaked chinese group chat

[shell void]

the tomahawk seems to be quite stable because so many people own it

"buy the board that everyone else did" strategy undefeated

[turbid locust]

If they actually marketed the Mpower I think it would’ve done really well

They basically soft launched the thing

[shell void]

ASUS ROG Maximus Z990 Hero

[pure garnet]

yeah basically

[turbid locust]

I think from now on I’m gonna probably do the “buy once cry once” strat with boards

[shell void]

@topaz veldt the war is finally over

[turbid locust]

I’ve probably spent the equivalent of what an Apex cost for AM5

The problem is it wasn’t out until I was like 3 boards deep LMAO

[shell void]

i wonder if theyll finally put out a X970E Apex at launch of Zen 6, or if theyll still favor Intel

[turbid locust]

Mpower still goated

[pure garnet]

i tried to buy an apex but that guy was tripping

[turbid locust]

X870 Apex will do just fine

I’m not sure my Gene will keep up

[shell void]

surely X970E will finally move on from the Promontory 21

[turbid locust]

I think my Mpower will handle Zen 6 better

[shell void]

even though i dont really even use chipset I/O because i don't want to

[pure garnet]

mpower and apex are wired differently

supposedly it matters

[slim pebble]

I’m wondering whether the 990 Intel boards will get more than one generation.

[shell void]

they are getting at least two

Razer Lake has been mentioned in the Linux Kernel

[slim pebble]

Embrace the 52 core bllc

[turbid locust]

Well yeah, Asus black magic wizardry always applies

[pure garnet]

no the mpower is the one people say zen 6 will favor

something about how it’s electrically wired to be slots 2 and 4

[turbid locust]

oh?

[pure garnet]

overclock.net though so malarkey until actually proven

[slim pebble]

If they’re smart, doesn’t the chip support up to 4 gen 5 lanes for the chipset? They’re only using 4 gen 4

[pure garnet]

UNIKO's Hardware 🌏 (@unikoshardware)

new rumor about zen6 in china, 1dpc mobo may not be able to support zen6 but 2dpc is fine.

and i quoted(google translation+my changes):

Previously, according to the news from another forum, Medusa has two IMCs.
one of the IMCs only supports 1DPC, and current 1dpc 2dimmer uses A0B0. The new IMC requires 1dpc 2dimmer uses A1B1, so ZEN6 does not support the current 1dpc 2dimmer.
However, the delay is because it may be possible to open ZEN6 on the board A0B0 but the performance is not guaranteed.
So far, only the new 1dpc 2dimmer board supports the new standard for example the MPOWER.
I thought everyone knew about it.

这个事情隔壁论坛之前不是有人说过了。
之前网传的消息，美杜莎有两个IMC。
根据隔壁说法，其中一个IMC只支持1DPC，目前双DIMM走的都是A0B0，新的IMC要求双DIMM走A1B1，所以才说ZEN6不支持现在的双槽。
不过现在延期就是因为可能现在板子A0B0也能开ZEN6但是性能不保证。
然后到…

vxTwitter / fixvx · Apr 14, 2025, 7:26 AM

[turbid locust]

But from what I’ve seen the Mpower handled booting 8400 slightly easier than my Gene

[shell void]

oh yeah i forgot about that rumor of zen 6 having two IODs

[turbid locust]

what

[shell void]

have fun with that gentlemen

nova lake >>>

[turbid locust]

Michael when the cpu is slower and less power efficient

[cosmic gazelle]

https://tenor.com/view/bingchilling-gif-1158789153226372051

[shell void]

it's okay you don't have to be a big CPU guy

[pure garnet]

i’m gonna buy whatever lets me play final fantasy at higher fps with 0 effort

then i’ll buy a fun cpu to play with

[shell void]

isnt FF14 one of the few games that actually has an APO profile?

i wonder if itll get an APO+ and IBOT profile for Nova Lake

[pure garnet]

it does have a ibot too iirc

[slim pebble]

I’m a little concerned about the TDP, I’ve heard some wild shit

[pure garnet]

i just don’t wanna buy another arrow lake cpu

it’s 52 cores it’s gonna use power

[turbid locust]

One of us here bought the 270K Plus and it wasn’t the one that glazes corecount to open YouTube and discord

[shell void]

the rumors about it being able to put out 700W+ on the 52 core model (if you purposefully remove power limits and then run a stress test with a watercooler) are true

but i mean it's 52 cores man that's to be expected xD

very few things will actually utilize that many cores, especially to 100%

[slim pebble]

I have a 1500 watt PSU and a 5090, we have like 800 watts left.

[pure garnet]

the kventinky psu fallacy

[turbid locust]

yeah like ngl idk why they’d release that on a consumer chip

[shell void]

it's pseudo hedt

there are 8p12e and 8p16e 144MB SKUs for gaymers

[pure garnet]

can’t wait for people to buy zen 6 because of “platform longevity”

[turbid locust]

why are they allergic to more than 8p cores

[pure garnet]

so is amd

[shell void]

no point in it yet

[pure garnet]

half the cpu shuts off in games

[turbid locust]

gamer what

[turbid locust]

If you turn on lobotomy mode yeah

[pure garnet]

if you have gamebar installed it does it too

[slim pebble]

Aren’t the ARL ecores actually good though?

[pure garnet]

the other ccd goes to sleep

[shell void]

arctic wolf Ecores can run AVX512 and every other relevant instruction set, and 16 Ecores are a lot more powerful than 4 more Pcores

[turbid locust]

yes but that’s besides the point

I want more big boy cores not Cinebench accelerators

[shell void]

they can run all relevant instructions tho theyre not cinebench cores

[turbid locust]

nuh uh

[shell void]

[turbid locust]

52 core novalake is gonna be 8p44e

[shell void]

that would be funny

[turbid locust]

It would ngl lol

[shell void]

64 Ecores in a single chiplet with extra cache would actually be a very good CPU

[turbid locust]

Just give me an E core only cpu atp Intel like damn

yankee with no brim type cpu

[shell void]

that's probably what the future "unified core" CPUs will be

only beefed up Ecores and extra cache

[turbid locust]

beef 🤤

[shell void]

hopefully next gen is good man, im skeptical about Zen 6 dual IODs, and also skeptical about the paired Pcores in Nova Lake

i want a cool cpu upgrade they better not disappoint

i just had an olive loaf and butter cheese sandwich with some spicy dill pickle potato chips

[turbid locust]

I’m hoping nova lake is good simply to make AyyMD do something

[pure garnet]

idk man i think the 4790k can tough it out another gen

[turbid locust]

AGREE

[shell void]

why can't this new game launch on my Q6600? this is some fucking bullshit cyka

[shell void]

mmm almost-frozen diet dr thunder

More fun from Buildzoid

[cosmic gazelle]

already posted lol

[shell void]

[brisk jolt]

I wonder if with the 270K it could be bumped up to like 105%-110% to a 7800x3d’s like, 115% (100% being 270K)

I imagine it’ll be chugging power over the X3D parts but its pure boost in context

[slim pebble]

I think BZ got some 17% performance boost on an OC and even ran Karhu, but then it stopped booting 😆

[young void]

Intel does love to run a bit juiced

Im expecting 250w+- for this next gen intels

(Im out of the loop though could be completely wrong)

[burnt mortar]

If your 4 Stick Kit doesnt work in 1 out of 4 Dimms but on the other 3 dimms, due to the mainboard.

Would you 1. Buy a Kit of the same GB but with 2 instead of 4 Sticks
Or 2. Buy a new Board to support your 4 stick kit?

[cosmic gazelle]

is this compared to a +200 7800 or a stock one

[pure garnet]

you can't +200 the 7800x3d

[brisk jolt]

preferably 1

[floral spear]

So I just picked up my new S26 off the shop

its so... small

[burnt mortar]

Im trying to decide between both it's ugh.

the Decision is: 1. Asus Maximus VII Ranger -60€ | or 2. 2x8GB Hyper X Fury 2400Mhz CL11 DDR3 -50€

[devout ridge]

i mean you can, it just won't post

Man $5 a month was too much for "essential"

Thats insane

[cosmic gazelle]

this is wild

[uneven vigil]

I did I didn’t feel like swapping out the cpus or anything ngl

I have bad luck with pcs very bad luck

[cosmic gazelle]

checks out

[civic reef]

A decent laptop with an OLED screen is surprisingly cheap

[cosmic gazelle]

what are we defining as decent

[civic reef]

Only $1,180 for a Legion 5 w/ a 14700HX, 1x16GB 5600, 512GB 4x4, 5060, 1600p OLED

[civic reef]

Laptop that won't fall apart from being looked at wrong

[cosmic gazelle]

single channel ram yeeeeuck

[civic reef]

Legion 5s are pretty good at that

PC-ABS reinforced w/ Talc

[civic reef]

Meh it's no big deal
Once I finish payments on it and upgrade pc for my brother I can get a 1x16 5600 used or whatever

[cosmic gazelle]

as someone who bought their first aluminum chassis on the last couple of years i will never be buying another plastic laptop

it’s so worth the extra cost

[civic reef]

Only aluminium laptop that's "within" my price range is a 1.5K T14s with an RTX T500 ❤️

Plus I barely move around so little chance for it to be damaged

Though I could try and maaaybe get some aftermarket replacement bottom panel & top cover

[cosmic gazelle]

does hp like not exist in your country

that’s where the best value aluminum laptops are

[civic reef]

What am I supposed to buy? A Victus?

Oh wait I think there's an Omen priced decently

[cosmic gazelle]

why do you want a gaming laptop specifically

i thought you just specced out a pc

i got a pavilion plus with a 2560x1600 screen 16gb ram ryzen 5 8645hs and aluminum body for $660 which i know isn’t what it costs in your country but like

gaming laptops suck unless you specifically need a gaming laptop

[civic reef]

I gave up on it
Why buy a PC if it'll be bombed again

This definitely won't be the last war, so a laptop would make things much easier

[civic reef]

If I just needed any sort of laptop I'd just get a $300 ThinkPad with a 4c8t and be happy with it lol

Or, if I was feeling like a spender, I could get an E16 or such with an ultra processor

255H or such

[low sorrel]

@brisk jolt

[civic reef]

It's actually somewhat good, somehow

The 5060m at 115W allegedly performs fairly close to a desktop 4060

More accurately; 4060 mobile if it was made like the GTX 10 mobile chips

[floral spear]

[fringe vigil]

Looks like a pic you see on a true crime show or a haunted documentary

Tbh my partner has the s22ultra and it does make colors pop more then the s25ultra as well

Sorry s22U not the s24U she has that one to but the S22U just look stellar

The S24U and S25U feel identical side by side

<@&750150305383186585>

crazy that those scam photos look about as real as the other dudes paypal

[floral spear]

base s26

[limpid tapir]

Ah fair

Might be a settings thing honestly

I've noticed that phone to phone I tend to carry a lot of old settings around that just gum up the works more and more

[floral spear]

tbh this will just be a temporary phone

[limpid tapir]

Fair, what are you looking at after that?

[floral spear]

once I paid it off I'll probably turn it into my 2FA/Security Phone

probably gonna go back to redmagic if the pricing remains the same

[limpid tapir]

Going the apple route or an ultra?

Oh wow, thats somethign I didnt expect

[floral spear]

I was using the 9 but it broke so as a temporary I went with a quick S26

[limpid tapir]

Ahh, mind me asking why redmagic specifically?

[floral spear]

mainly prices

Rn I'm paying 57.50 with insurance to pay this phone off and it's in total 900$

[limpid tapir]

Fair enough

Also this conversation made me actually use my camera and holy shit is it much worse than I remember

[pure garnet]

$60/mo for how many months

[floral spear]

24 but this is including the insurance of 19,99

37.50 without insurance

[pure garnet]

why pay $480 for insurance

[floral spear]

I'm a klutz

[limpid tapir]

Fair honestly

[fleet marsh]

so i got the ARCTIC Liquid Freezer III Pro 360. and i set a fan curve for it already. but its still running at 100% fan speed. any ideas why ?

[floral spear]

either way I'll pay it off, once it's paid off- I'll just chill

[limpid tapir]

I paid like 25% of the cost of buying a macbooks air just for the additional applecare with it

[pure garnet]

that is half

[devout ridge]

My grandparents gifted me half the cost of a macbook air + continue to pay for the apple care +

[pure garnet]

you’re getting gouged for that carrier insurance but it’s not my bill

[limpid tapir]

My take was I'd rather have comprehensive warranty when I'd be moving abroad for university than have to run the risk of getting caught lacking

[pure garnet]

when we swapped to t-mobile they wanted us to buy $40 screen protectors from them so we could pay $20/mo for unlimited replacements

per line 😭

i’ve broken a grand total of 1 screen protector in like 3 phones

[devout ridge]

you can get a high quality screen protector for less than 20, and who swaps it more than once a month

[pure garnet]

i buy magic john for like 15 bucks for 2 just because of the coating on them

[devout ridge]

live laugh love magic john

[pure garnet]

takes basically 1 wipe to get anything off 95% of the time

[devout ridge]

i have a magic john screen protector on my phone right now

[pure garnet]

i’ve been a spigen case user since like 2017 too

[devout ridge]

I have a random brand off amazon with a lifetime warranty and very relaxed requirements to utilize it

i've replaced my case for free twice now

even though it's just normal wear and tear over several years

they don't care, i send them an email, they send me a new case

[pure garnet]

i had my 15 pro for 2 years and i only dropped my phone once so the case just had a little dent in the corner

and then the only phone i broke was my 12 pro where i cracked the camera lens on a campus chair somehow

[devout ridge]

I work in a wood shop, so my phone can get a bit abused

[pure garnet]

mine just gets filled with plastic dust

i use a cnc on pvc sheets

[devout ridge]

i also commonly fill my pockets with random tools related to lighting and rigging, so my case gets scratched quite a lot

[pure garnet]

my left pocket is reserved for the phone

i’ll throw whatever else in the right pocket though

[floral spear]

either way rip Redmagic 9

I'll probably get a DBrand S26 case and screen protector but still pay the insurance Just in Case ™

[wise bear]

NOW THATS A PIZZA

[vestal granite]

[devout ridge]

nuh uh, me too

[wise bear]

nah

[devout ridge]

fuck you peyton

[wise bear]

💅

[vestal granite]

i cook on stove thing thats like a big box like a box shaped thing and the top is a stove like a stove top box and then the inside of the box is like a heating thing like it heats the contents of the inside of the box on racks

[wise bear]

are you using speech to text, or are you on drugs

[devout ridge]

yesn't

[vestal granite]

neither

[devout ridge]

honestly i'm assuming both

[wraith steeple]

https://tenor.com/view/southpark-eyepatch-que-gif-7526801

[wise bear]

I assume nothing. Last time I did that was when i assumed my own gender

now I'm a woman

[vestal granite]

i just type how i talk and how i talk is yeah 👈

[wise bear]

the pipeline is real

[devout ridge]

when you assume, you make an ass out of u and me

[wraith steeple]

I do tend to speak in riddles IRL

[devout ridge]

i tend to speak in indirect insults irl

[wise bear]

fuck you

[limpid tapir]

I dont use screenprotectors honestly

[devout ridge]

i love watching people pause and buffer to figure out if they just got insulted or not

[limpid tapir]

They make my expensive ass screen feel less nice to both touch and look at

[devout ridge]

(i'm a horrible person)

[wise bear]

anyways food coma time BYEEEE

king kong aint got shit on my pizza

[wraith steeple]

Indirect communication upbringing yooo

[limpid tapir]

Also spigen cases only

[vestal granite]

i use spigen and i use tempered glass screen protectors

[limpid tapir]

I've never had a phone break in a spigen case

I know people who use shitty amazon brands and get cracks on the first drop

[vestal granite]

my last phone broke in a spigen case after the first drop, i dont think cases are great for protecting face-first drops onto stuff unless its perfectly flat

tempered glass screen protector to protect the screen surface

[limpid tapir]

Oh yeah, face first is always an issue

The thing is its pretty hard to drop a phone face first

[vestal granite]

not really

[limpid tapir]

If youre dropping it from high up enough aerodynamics means that it goes edge first

[vestal granite]

my phone slipped out of my hands when I was taking photos on a sidewalk on a cold day so my hands were stiff

[limpid tapir]

Face first is mostly an issue on slanted surfaces or when at like sitting height

[vestal granite]

if you drop it from high enough up to where aerodynamics takes effect then your phone is fucked anyway because that would take at least a 10ft drop

[limpid tapir]

Rip, I've fucked an s8 dropping it on rocks due to the cold

[vestal granite]

and then on the bounce it can always land on its face

[limpid tapir]

Amazing device, damn shame it cost more to fix the screen than to buy a new one

[limpid tapir]

Oh shit I didnt think of that one

Yeah makes sense actually

[vestal granite]

yeah thats always my problem, i dropped my pixel 6a (no screen protector + spigen case) screen shattered and then i replaced it with a pixel 7 for cheaper than a new screen costs let alone the effort to replace it

[limpid tapir]

I only ever drop my phone off the bed so its not that big of an issue

[vestal granite]

now i run tempered glass screen protector in hopes that itll break instead of my screen next time

[limpid tapir]

Yeah, plus the thing was that the s8 had a super curved screen

Like the old very curved ones

[limpid tapir]

I reckon Ill go tempered glass if I ever have an expensive phone I'm taking care of myself

the accidental damage protection on mine was free through the corporate store and is running into august this year

I'll look into it then

out of those three i think the 4500X LX is the coolest

Full of people that only passed because of the no child left behind act

[arctic bronze]

Their cases are good, their ram is dog shit

[turbid locust]

As far as cases go, lian li has my wallet

[pure garnet]

i’ll probably try them next because the eps cutouts suck ass on my fractal

[wraith steeple]

Lian Li putting their cases' CAD file layout for free is nice NGL

[pure garnet]

like i’m not convinced i could swap a psu without getting frustrated

because the eps hole barely fit the cables

[shell void]

same for my next case because i think they make the best pretty fans

[pure garnet]

my current plan is to not touch anything on my pc at all

[wraith steeple]

I've always been a sucker for Fractal Cases

[pure garnet]

The Meshify 3 XL has slowly been growing on me

[pure garnet]

my epoch is nice aside from the awful sized cutouts

[pure garnet]

i think you’re missing about half the computer in the first pic

[pure garnet]

wait did you get royals for a 7800x3d

[shell void]

pretty based if so

[pure garnet]

yeah that’s pretty awesomesauce

[snow holly]

I bought a 78 and wasn’t allowed to return it. Used it for a few months and bought the 98

And I hate myself

[turbid locust]

why would you do that lmao

[snow holly]

YouTube convinced me

[turbid locust]

victim of influencers rip

[rain forge]

When I turn on my pc it does this and doesn’t display anything, I’ve reseated my GPU and my RAM I need to get in for atleast a bit to reset this so I can return it, anything I can do?

[pure garnet]

i also impulse bought a 9800x3d

[devout oxide]

windows update?

[pure garnet]

third try the charm

[rain forge]

How am I supposed to get there if it doesn’t show anything

[devout oxide]

no once i turned on my pc and it showed a black sreen like that

i rebooted and it said reversing ur windows update something like that

[rain forge]

Hm

I’ll let it sit for a little while but I’ve reset a few times

[devout oxide]

did ur windows want to update

when it actually showed a screen

[rain forge]

No it has been doing this

After a little while of playing

[devout oxide]

UR GPUUUUUUUU

its burning alive

[rain forge]

Think it got damaged in shipping

[devout oxide]

so many arifacts and what not

its like a light show

[turbid locust]

shipping? is this a prebuilt?

[rain forge]

Mhm

[turbid locust]

RMA asap

[devout oxide]

frr

[rain forge]

I’m gonna return it tmr

[low sorrel]

jesus christ that flashbanged me

[devout oxide]

you better

[rain forge]

But I was hoping I could atleast reset my shit off of it

[devout oxide]

that gpu is cooked

what cpu do you have

[rain forge]

Intel core 7 smth

[devout oxide]

integrated graphics could help if you have them

to do what you need to do

[devout oxide]

if it dosnt have an F at the end of the full name at the end you have integrated graphics so plug into the motherboard port if you need to do something before you return it

[low sorrel]

there's a non zero chance it could be both of the cables at the same time

just saying

it's non zero

[rain forge]

I can try different cables

I tried for my hdmi

[low sorrel]

96% chance it's not the cables but

[devout oxide]

more like 96.67 (SIIX SEVEEEN)

[rain forge]

I don’t believe my motherboard has integrated graphics

Atleast not for any cords I have

[devout oxide]

its ur cpu that has integrated graphics not ur motherboard

[rain forge]

I do have a type c to dp

Lemme check

[devout oxide]

if diffrent cables dont work try the hdmi or display port on the motherboard

[turbid locust]

Some boards just dont have display outs

like no HDMI or DisplayPort

[devout oxide]

huh

i didnt know that

[low sorrel]

yeah it's really dumb

[devout oxide]

anything just to make money bruh

yeah no integrated gaphics

[low sorrel]

if im paying 150+ dollars for a motherboard give me my damn 2 dollar displayport or hdmi port

[devout oxide]

i saw the F and the end

[rain forge]

Well

I’ll jus return it tmr

[devout oxide]

fr

[devout oxide]

hopefully they ship you a new one

[turbid locust]

Have you guys seen where ram prices are dropping? Cause Google has a new algorithm that uses less ram, and OpenAI is falling apart lol

[turbid locust]

My z890 Apex only has USB-C DisplayPort out lol

same with my X670E Gene

[rain forge]

It’s been less than 2 weeks they’ll give me my money back and I can go in store

To make sure it doesn’t get damaged in shipping

[devout oxide]

okay

[low sorrel]

even the board doesn't have it wow

[turbid locust]

Looks proprietary

[low sorrel]

WTF

since when did lenovostart equipping there gaming desktops with mobile cpus

[turbid locust]

Thats gotta be CAD right

[turbid locust]

OH

[low sorrel]

yeah

[turbid locust]

in other news

[low sorrel]

i wonder how it performs

[turbid locust]

never seen a cpu so ok with 8800 but absolutely will not do 9000

[low sorrel]

I kinda wanna buy a 270k+ to piss off @pallid marsh

[turbid locust]

[young void]

Lol

[young void]

How loose did you try?

[turbid locust]

the timings im using for 8800 rn are loose enough for 9000

9000 just like... wants an insane amount of SA voltage

[young void]

I see, painn. Still pretty killer though

[cosmic gazelle]

have you gotten it to post?

[merry stirrup]

yes lol

[turbid locust]

Yeah and like it'll bench

I was able to run ycruncher

1.45-1.5v SA just makes me uncomfortable

[merry stirrup]

valid

[pallid marsh]

Perfect pairing with a 3060

[turbid locust]

but even at 1.5v SA it still errored in like 12 mins

[merry stirrup]

yeah i wouldn’t try higher

[young void]

Fun read https://rog-forum.asus.com/t5/intel-800-series/storming-the-power-gates-with-z890-apex-and-285k-prepare-to/td-p/1051579

Sounds like youre just peaking mac, ggs

[merry stirrup]

day one bin my left nut

[cosmic gazelle]

ayo floppa are there any secondaries that running extremely high frequencies on your 5700g required you to loosen like crazy before it would post

i’m trying to hit the max speed this 2400g’s imc will spit out and i don’t want to be limited by anything else

[turbid locust]

nobody expected the IMCs to be any better lol

My cores are insane

ive seen one singular 270K+ better than mine

[cosmic gazelle]

does this mean higher max oc or lower voltage at max clocks

[turbid locust]

so far at least

[turbid locust]

yes

[cosmic gazelle]

but like is there a wall 1851 chips hit frequency wise or does it scale with core bin

like for example a lot of am4 chips have like a hard wall that binning won’t really get u past

[turbid locust]

it really comes down to whether or not you can cool it

[cosmic gazelle]

that’s fair

is custom hard line just not worth it anymore or is it just too much of a hassle

[turbid locust]

And you can push past these clock walls with subzero cooling

[turbid locust]

plenty folks do it

I'm going to custom loop my bench soon, not hardline, but custom loop lol

[cosmic gazelle]

i would imagine you could find a more efficient cold plate for a custom loop

idk tho

[cosmic gazelle]

actually pc building simulator 2 only lets me raise boost clocks by 50mhz so i think you’re wrong

[turbid locust]

real

[cosmic gazelle]

overclocking in pcbs is actually such bullshit tho

such a joke of a festure to add to a game if you aren’t going to try to make it accurate

oh damn - do we think this isn't bugged though

[turbid locust]

I mean the VIDs line up

94 SP overall

[pure garnet]

people saw the 9850x3d average go up and assumed that intel for some reason has been binning the same tile since zen 4

[turbid locust]

lol

[pure garnet]

also like

9000 is so far removed from the official 5600

obviously the imc isn't that dog but

i'd be actually surprised if the vast majority could just do that with auto voltages

[turbid locust]

from what I can tell 9000 is the 6400 of ARL

[pure garnet]

uncommon, looks cool, not much practical advantage?

[turbid locust]

8600 is practically guaranteed

[cosmic gazelle]

this dumbass put bubble wrap straight on the pins

i’m lucky shit ain’t bent to hell

[turbid locust]

Like it for sure scales but not enough to justify trying to fight it for 3 days

[pure garnet]

dude you’d hate how i sent floppa a 3700x

pretty sure i kept it in a ring box

[cosmic gazelle]

at least it was in a box bruh

i felt like i was bending pins taking the damn tape off the bubble wrap

[pure garnet]

sounds like 6400 too

[cosmic gazelle]

he also included a dell stock cooler which will promptly be visiting my garbage can

[pure garnet]

i was debating dropping to 6000 and trying to do 2200 fclk

[cosmic gazelle]

ooh wait hold on

take the fan off the stock cooler, plug it into a pwm header = ram fan?

got me a ram fan

now to see if fancontrol has a dimm temp or a vrm temp readout

[turbid locust]

not worth

6400 at like 2067 is faster than 6000 at 2200

[cosmic gazelle]

6200 2167 😎

[meager saffron]

96g cheaper razer mouses to this 61g wow and the clicks feel so different sleeper mouse if i use it for work haha

[devout ridge]

61g too heavy

[meager saffron]

i mean ill go to microcenter probably tomorrow and see

[signal parrot]

did you try with the haptic clicking disabled? weirdest feeling ive ever had with a mouse for me

[meager saffron]

duno if they have the v4 viper on the tester tables

[dense granite]

Mine is coming soon.

Should have by the time I get back to my country.

[meager saffron]

eating dinner its still in the plastic just charging

also if i did switch to viper v4 pro id be down on the money i spent on new skates lol from aliexpress

[signal parrot]

try it out once you get it going. its funny af but unusable for me

[meager saffron]

ive been using cheap Razer mouses for 10 years i got burned by Razer expensive mouses 10 years ago and said id never buy expensive razer mouses again after they would just die on me less than a year

i am using a G915 so it would mean one less dongle but so far jsut putting my hand on it i do kind of miss where my pinky rests compared to the death adder essential but wont know till i actually game with it

[meager saffron]

isnt the haptic click disabled since i havent plugged it in yet?

[dense granite]

The basilisk v3 pro feels very nice, just too heavy.

My brother owns one.

[meager saffron]

i mean im on a 96gram mouse Lol that ive been using for years so i think anything less than that is quite different

[dense granite]

Absolutely.

[meager saffron]

people always talk about the 50gram mouses after i started doing research

im like wtf at 61gram with this

[dense granite]

My current one is 56, it's great with glass skates.

Hopefully I won't notice the 5g difference too much.

[signal parrot]

its always haptic. you can tune the amount/strength of it from none to probably too high for anyone though. as it doesnt have a regular mouse button it also has no regular click

default strength is reasonable. ive got it on the lowest above none but its probably just personal preference

all other buttons like the scrollwheel and side buttons are normal buttons. only the primary and secondary mouse buttons have the new sensors + haptic feedback

[meager saffron]

in my head i think ill go settings 2 and 3

but who knows till i actually play with it

i duno anyone who said they have it at 1 Lolk

[topaz veldt]

speaking of haptic click

my Superstrike should come wednesday

[meager saffron]

its smaller than i thought but i also have small hands so its fine

[turbid locust]

@ mods classism???

[wise bear]

I also got breadsticks (but I already ate half of them)

its been a baller saturday

[turbid locust]

ive been drinking bourbon, overclocking arrowlake refresh, and playing counter strike

[wise bear]

NICE

[indigo walrus]

artichokes and pineapple. the food police have been dispatched to your location to remove the contraband from your pizza.

Right - Garlic Ranch Sauce, Garlic Chicken, Pineapple,
Onions and Teriyaki Sauce

aint got SHIT

on ME

[turbid locust]

Unfortunely a result of my recent dieting is finding out how terrible pizza is for you lol

[brisk jolt]

you need more toppings I can still see the bread

[wise bear]

Oh well yeah thats why I only order pizza from this place like once or twice a year lmao

[turbid locust]

With that being said I got some yesterday because I ate minimal calories all day yesterday lol

[wise bear]

The way they bake these its actually not overloaded or soggy

Also, today's calendar

[limpid tapir]

[wise bear]

Acceptable tbh.

[brisk jolt]

as in i wish you didnt say that out loud xD

hey man, I'm limited to whatever the sony box does for me

[cosmic gazelle]

the $650 sony box that costs $20 per month?

[limpid tapir]

the sony box I got for 520 USD and that costs 60 usd a year (Region based pricing tiers)

Also 60 usd a year for PS plus premium

So honestly pretty worth it ngl

Its cheaper than buying games

Also cheaper than building a PC

[pure garnet]

yesn’t

the world doesn’t render iirc but 2 engines run at the same time

[cosmic gazelle]

yeah render was the wrong word

its been going almost 5 hours

[topaz veldt]

rofl its trolling me @turbid locust

[topaz veldt]

yeah it takes forever - mine failed at 2 hrs btw. But I might have caused it. Will try again tomorrow

[turbid locust]

the 8800 I sent u failed at 2hrs?

[topaz veldt]

Yeah but I rdpd to it a few times and then when I logged into desktop locally it failed

So it might have just been the BS I did

[turbid locust]

hmmmm

[topaz veldt]

we did it gang

officially my highest R23 CPU

[floral spear]

This phone's camera is dookie

[turbid locust]

what clocks 👀

[topaz veldt]

My tragic e cores at 51.16, 57.16 all core

[turbid locust]

word

[topaz veldt]

Shit is sick

[turbid locust]

your cooling is better than mine so hopefully I can bullshit some E core clocks to make up for it

[topaz veldt]

Yah but also 72 deg office temps nothing crazy

[turbid locust]

you overestimate the $40 AIO

[topaz veldt]

Lol I'm using an RGB ek block don't worry

I should swap to the heat killer

[turbid locust]

what wattage were you seeing in the R23 run

[topaz veldt]

I didn't have hwinfo open

[turbid locust]

ah

[topaz veldt]

I want to get a 48K submitted to hwbot

[torpid cargo]

rookie numbers 😉

[topaz veldt]

https://hwbot.org/benchmarks/cinebench_-_r23_multi_core_with_benchmate/submissions/5997841

@turbid locust there we go

[merry stirrup]

should send you the good os

would prolly be 50K

[turbid locust]

yeah ima have to beat his ass

[merry stirrup]

are you using realtime prio?

[turbid locust]

floppa shhh

[merry stirrup]

that one is easy

[topaz veldt]

yes

send me the good OS @merry stirrup

[merry stirrup]

hey man that’s all mac he’s got the links

[topaz veldt]

I think he has sent me before

[slim pebble]

That’s actually nice, about 4-5% more than my 9950X3D

[topaz veldt]

It slays

[brisk jolt]

mine got absolutely gapped by 1000

[slim pebble]

We’ll see what our 9950X3D2 chips can do.

[topaz veldt]

Less unfortunately

[slim pebble]

The TDP is higher, we’ll see if we get two 5.6GHz vcache CCD

[cosmic gazelle]

you guys are out here benching $400 cpus while I just ordered a tablet running android 5.1 from goodwill for $16 and am going to make it run the most recent version of android I can find

get on my level

[pure garnet]

wait this is on h16a too

[topaz veldt]

Yeah unfortunately the X3D does R23 no favors, need frequency which we won't have

[slim pebble]

I’m hoping for slightly higher all core clocks than the 9950X or 9950X3D

[topaz veldt]

not a chance bud

Its already derated core clock speed

[cosmic gazelle]

snail would you ever get into ln2 stuff

seems like a logical progression

[pure garnet]

9950x3d2 will probably go crazy in karhu and aida and not much else

[slim pebble]

Just the single core right?

[topaz veldt]

The max boost is 5.6 vs 5.7 of 9950X3D

[slim pebble]

That’s for one core/one thread. We haven’t seen the all core fmax

[topaz veldt]

its the same algo bro

you will have two 9950X3D v-cache CCDs

[brisk jolt]

9950X3D2 5nail bin will be doing 9000

[topaz veldt]

naw

@turbid locust beat me in 270K Plus bin this time

Enough that I am prob going to buy another

[turbid locust]

[topaz veldt]

But he's also gate keeping OS images

[turbid locust]

im literally not lol

[brisk jolt]

Dude will be binning till he finds the 270KS

[turbid locust]

Gonna give that guy with the 94SP $1000

[brisk jolt]

maybe on his 4th 270K it does 10K stable

[turbid locust]

im about to piss 5nail off

[brisk jolt]

we cant do macbin slander anymore

all the binning slander goes to me who hasnt even reached 10 digit bins

[topaz veldt]

his shit still can't run 8800

so I still have that

[turbid locust]

what makes you think i cant do 8800 lmao

[topaz veldt]

I put a hex on it

and and and I am on full bloat win11 domain joined with games installed... so thats worth like 2k points easy

[turbid locust]

ehhhhhhhh

I told you the shit that makes the most difference

all these bench OS' are for chasing records by ms

[brisk jolt]

Realistically Ive only binned 2 chips

the 265K is so half assed because of the mobo

[topaz veldt]

Its ok - 48,177 is legit I am not unhappy

beats my 285k by far

$0 upgrade

[brisk jolt]

ill wait for an intel game bundle or something… if its a game im interested in, perhaps ill actually dip my hand

[topaz veldt]

Eh

I'd wait for NVL

[brisk jolt]

Oh im definitely getting NVL on day 1

[topaz veldt]

even 49K is only like 1200 over my 285K score, its not really worth spending for

[brisk jolt]

Im only copping if theres a game bundle thats interesting and if the Z890I nova is in stock

[topaz veldt]

Z890I Nova wasn't that great

[brisk jolt]

Because literally local nova stock only comes in 2 months xD

[topaz veldt]

whatever physical benefits the nova had the BIOS was lame AF

[brisk jolt]

i see

im dead set on ITX so ig im fucked in this aspect till Z990 where hopes and dreams are

[topaz veldt]

yeah just wait

if you want to bench an ITX you're going to have to put it in a big box or bench

[turbid locust]

I might’ve killed my windows install

nah she’s back fuck yeah

[brisk jolt]

Ill probs do that for benching first, for daily use ill strap a fan outside

[turbid locust]

5nail is officially allowed to be mad at me

[topaz veldt]

I won't be mad over 270K lol

[brisk jolt]

50k or bust

[topaz veldt]

Mac has prob 1K points on my OS

[turbid locust]

50k feels so close yet so far

[topaz veldt]

so he needs moar

[turbid locust]

i think ive maxed my E cores

52.83 E

[green marsh]

uh, maybe it's just Crucial clearing their warehouses, but this certainly ain't the 800-1000 euro 64GB kits anymore

[topaz veldt]

Zero sales - they have to liquidate

[green marsh]

sure, it is not 6000CL30 for 250 euros either, but this is on level of "i could live with it if i had to buy RAM now"

(says the person who bought 4x16GB Trident Z RGB 3200CL14 b-die kit for 985 euros in Sep 2018 😄 )

[topaz veldt]

6000 CL40 is criminal

[brisk jolt]

6KC40 as OC kits has to be the most micron thing ever

[green marsh]

well, iut's 650 vs 800 for alternatives

[brisk jolt]

Its still a price too stupid to justify for the average consumer

[green marsh]

i mean 6400CL32 is 944 euros 🤷‍♂️

[topaz veldt]

[brisk jolt]

the pain of selling 96GB for $220 last year still pains 5nail

the pain is pain

[green marsh]

you know, i feel the real pain of a person in ebay i bought my 32GB RDIMMs from. He was selling a lot of it at 20GBP/stick price in February last year. In December, they were selling for 200€/stick

[topaz veldt]

Thats the name of the game

[brisk jolt]

the regret of not getting another H24M kit pains me

H24M CL26 😭

i indeed should not have listened to michael for that

I also regret cancelling a H16A C28 kit

[low sorrel]

@brisk jolt @edgy laurel ||So your telling me that Kimi an Italian just won, with Mercedes. Which is a German Team. In Japan?||

[brisk jolt]

he finally switched off the attack memes and locked in

[turbid locust]

windows install hates me rn

yall ever seen windows BSOD in a window

shit wasn’t even fullscreen that shit had a windowed border

[thorny eagle]

Are Leadtek GPU’s any good? Leadtek RTX 5070

[turbid locust]

never even heard of em

[merry stirrup]

DDR3-2666

very nice

[sturdy swift]

and colapinto killed bearman and got away with it

swung pretty far out to the left which is curious cause he specifically started deploying battery after clipping because he saw the overspeed

no investigation :p

[burnt socket]

ddr3 entering ddr4 territory

[low sorrel]

actual murder

@sturdy swift @brisk jolt

[brisk jolt]

its not exactly colapinto’s fault tbh

the clipping with the new regs is crazy stupid

leclerc is complaining about it even though ferrari has the 2nd fastest car here

[sturdy swift]

yeah but seeing as he's going so slow he could have just not pulled to the left side

[brisk jolt]

colapinto had a right to defend because it wasnt at the braking zone yet

[low sorrel]

I mean he has the right to defend

[brisk jolt]

ollie either had to slow or go around which he chose the latter

[sturdy swift]

he made ollie's racing line no longer on the track

[low sorrel]

but me personally im leaving the space

because probably 70% of the time you hit rear ended and it's race over

[brisk jolt]

luckily the bear is okay

[sturdy swift]

tsunoda got a penalty in abu dhabi

[merry stirrup]

apparently thats not a great result so disregard that

[sturdy swift]

this didn't even get investigated

[low sorrel]

thats because he made 2 moves

[sturdy swift]

maybee

it's still ridiculous you just get to do that

[brisk jolt]

LH was literally complaining about the regs before the season started but now that he found out he has a competant car he entirely shut up and started meatriding the regs

[sturdy swift]

he was moving aside as ollie was right behind him he didn't get to know colapinto was gonna pull over that far

just die or we both crash moment

Cinema

[sturdy swift]

This is 66% speed btw I slowed it

He had even less time

[spiral quarry]

lol people already making memes about it

[brisk jolt]

colapinto had the right to technically, but the clipping was so bad he was not expecting that entire speed difference

[sturdy swift]

yes but you can see him start deploying energy manually 3 seconds before his defense so he had been looking in his mirrors

just utter recklessness

perhaps it is legal but it's boneheaded as hell

[sturdy swift]

yeah

[brisk jolt]

this wouldnt be a problem if FIA didnt make it a battle of batteries

[sturdy swift]

it made it worse

[low sorrel]

how exactly do you expect the fia to punish legal boneheadedness

[sturdy swift]

well with their current attitude's and rules they don't

[brisk jolt]

technically here yes it is colapinto’s fault exactly

but on the other side he SHOULD have the right to defend

He tried to do the normal method but due to the energy system regs the speed was nowhere near equal

if we look at charles he is really smashing the corners but he loses it all on the straights

[sturdy swift]

it was also new vs old tyres too

I remember right around then some new hards were like 9 tenths a lap up on old tyres already

[low sorrel]

You should be allowed to defend your position no matter what

[sturdy swift]

I think ollie was a really early pit and they were still getting fired up

[sturdy swift]

yeah I just think colapinto is a moron

[brisk jolt]

this doesnt really matter its an option to let them go, you still have the right to defend

[sturdy swift]

idk what you think I was saying with that message but idk what you are saying

I was saying that the pace difference was even worse cause of the tyres

[brisk jolt]

regardless of how bad your tires are the option to defend or not is still there

colapinto chose to defend

[low sorrel]

Insert Perez minister of defense meme

[sturdy swift]

again that's not what I'm talking about

[brisk jolt]

yeah he was a sitting duck in this situation and his decision caused ollie to DNF but its still his right

[snow holly]

Talking about the race when I’m still at work

[brisk jolt]

at least the cadillac can complete a race

[snow holly]

Take it all back

Redact everything

[brisk jolt]

the redbull mclaren and worst of all aston martin are all suffering

[low sorrel]

In other news I found a Nintendo switch game under my bed

[sturdy swift]

I mean piastri was fighting for a win

got taken away by the sc though

[low sorrel]

Idk what I'm going to do with it my brother took the switch when he moved to Toronto with his wife

[snow holly]

Time to re invest

[brisk jolt]

i find it funny that within 365 days mclaren has found themselves double DNF, double DSQ and double DNS

they had a rocketship last year and their car is still fast this year but yeah lol

[low sorrel]

Is it a bad thing that I was happy for bearmans crash because it was peak cinema

[sturdy swift]

back in 2003 raikkonen would win or break down

[low sorrel]

Debatable

[sturdy swift]

this is just their natural state

[low sorrel]

This year part

[sturdy swift]

yes

[brisk jolt]

they’re using the merc engine

[snow holly]

Spend way too much on a collection no one needs

Be a man

[brisk jolt]

they are struggling with the power thing

[low sorrel]

And then I felt bad after seeing him limp

[brisk jolt]

jerry dont listen to him he doesnt have any testicles

[low sorrel]

Ferrari faster

[brisk jolt]

because ferrari can actually get their car to not have a total of 3 DNS so far

[low sorrel]

Sir can you stop joining the same servers as me

[sturdy swift]

and hydraulics

[low sorrel]

And electrics

[brisk jolt]

both oscar and max have both experienced their rear end shitting themselves in australia

[low sorrel]

See thing is the race pace seems to be a bit slower then Ferrari in the very limited running they've done

And Ferrari starts are peak cinema

[sturdy swift]

I expected much more problems in the first weekend

[brisk jolt]

ferrari uses a smaller turbo for the better starts

[sturdy swift]

I was dead on saying that 7 cars wouldn't finish the race but I expected like crazy crashes in practice and qualifying

[brisk jolt]

but it does bite back in other areas

[low sorrel]

Dawg there was battery issues for basically every driver and 7 people didn't finish

[sturdy swift]

yeah I expected that or worse

do you remember 2014

[low sorrel]

I was 6

[sturdy swift]

I don't

[low sorrel]

What do you think

[sturdy swift]

but I know a shit ton of cars broke down

this tends to happen

[low sorrel]

Also should my leg be clicking every step I take

[dense granite]

Damn, bro is in many gaming servers.
