someone is real dedicated lol

[devout ridge]

The website has been a thing for longer than that

[edgy laurel]

what is the deal with this site though, the blub on the left is acting like linus is using alone every time

why can't we make good faith arguments

[frank zealot]

someone who really dislikes LTT reg'd it obviously.

Which is why I jokingly asked if it was GN

[pure garnet]

i like how whole carbon argument phrases stuff as if my personal emissions will ever equal a rich persons

[devout ridge]

Linus constantly making the joke that he's a millionaire not a billionaire is kinda poor taste for the victims of Epstein

[steel stream]

It's fine I guess, till he buys an island called Little St. Linus

[devout ridge]

I give it 2 years

[pure garnet]

we built a gaming island 💀

[wise bear]

God i want this view
https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTk6xedPg/

getting to see a rocket launch from 30kft would be legendaryyyy

[steel stream]

yeah and the other one was used for scientists

[steel stream]

if he actually gets an island I will stop watching completely tbh

[frank zealot]

I can't imagine he'd buy an island, outside of an april fools video.

but, a couple years ago, i'd be like "A firetruck, a house, AND a jet? no way!"

[steel stream]

what's crazy is that their views are down too

compared to previous years

[frank zealot]

holy shit

That plane is short as hell, Linus can barely stand in the middle of the aisle

[devout ridge]

to increase the height of a plane, you have to make it massively bigger in every dimension

[topaz veldt]

thats most private jets bud

[shell void]

i find it creepy to actively monitor someone’s travel

[topaz veldt]

I have a friend who owns a major snowboarding company, has a jet. I can almost stand halfway up lol

[devout ridge]

oh 100%, but it is also is public information

[frank zealot]

one more reason I don't need to go on those

[gray juniper]

the parasocial nature of people creeps me out....

[low sorrel]

I'm just imagining a oval shaped plane

[steel stream]

I just want to know where you are at all times bud, it's for your safety

[frank zealot]

I'm a full foot taller than Linus, so I would be exceptionally uncomfortable in something like that

[topaz veldt]

Fortunately you don't fly standing up

[devout ridge]

you're not standing up very often in a private jet lol

[topaz veldt]

You don't stand up in your car lol

[steel stream]

sunroof, checkmate

[frank zealot]

you can't stand in a car 😛

[devout ridge]

rock to the teeth

[steel stream]

worth it

[low sorrel]

Or a van

[steel stream]

i don't think I can stand in a van

[devout ridge]

what's a vaw

[low sorrel]

The ford transit can have up to 6.5ft of internal clearance

[opal jasper]

Not legal though

[steel stream]

I jaywalk every day

[frank zealot]

I can't kneel in a van

[civic reef]

[cosmic gazelle]

bro the vrm heatsinks on this x370 dusty as hell

dude didn’t even attempt to blow it off

[steel stream]

to do what???

[pure garnet]

i know you’ve said it 45 times but which x370 again

[steel stream]

https://videocardz.com/newz/lg-details-39gx950b-4th-gen-tandem-oled-monitor-specs-worlds-first-5k-ai-upscaling-without-gpu ah hell nah, LGSSR

or is it LGSR

[cosmic gazelle]

prime pro

[civic reef]

It's really interesting how Thermalright is such a budget-centred company

360mm AIOs w/ preinstalled decent fans, fan controller, and a full tube of paste for as little as $50 in some cases

[shell void]

prolly better than FSR3

[civic reef]

Dual tower cooler with good fans for $33

And now, something I just saw, 4G of paste & a spatula for only $4.5

2g of MX-6 with nothing is $6

[pure garnet]

i got 80g for $20

[shell void]

they tried being a higher end brand in the past but never really got popular until they started selling coolers for pennies and spamming amazon

[civic reef]

Fair lmfao

[civic reef]

That's awesome

[cosmic gazelle]

mx-6 is also like

kinda mid

[frank zealot]

That's a really REALLY big wall-mount PC

[frank zealot]

MX-6 is all normal users need, and is very reasonably priced.

[steel stream]

real

[civic reef]

It's really cheap, and performs quite well

[frank zealot]

is MX4/5/6 the best?
Nope.
Is it good?
Absolutely. It performs well above average for pastes, and is very reasonably priced and easy to get.

[steel stream]

could use some more rad

[frank zealot]

8g for 1.06$/g
or 4G + Some CPU Cleaning Wipes

You're not gonna find better pastes at that pricepoint

[civic reef]

I've genuinely never had ANY issues with it, MX-6 helped me save money and also helped with temps

Also on the topic of pastes

What do I do when my paste gets too hard

[frank zealot]

in the tube or on a chip?

[civic reef]

Back in around October or so I was replacing my cooler, and the paste just didn't want to be malleable when I put it on

[civic reef]

Toob

[frank zealot]

sometimes the bit in the tip can dry up some, squeeze a bit out and then it should go back to normal after that

[civic reef]

Oh okay

iirc I bought the 4g version, so I probably have one full squeeze left in it

Was going to use the paste that Gamdias included but I guess I don't have to

OH btw
Using TF7 on my ThinkingPad :3

It's arriving in like an hour or two at most, won't sleep until it's cleaned, repasted, and confirmed operational

[pure garnet]

i’m pretty sure straight up the only thing cheaper (with equivalent quality) is if you buy in bulk

[steel stream]

i need a tub of thermal paste

[frank zealot]

at one point I had a 50g syringe of Arctic Silver 2

it was utterly ridiculous, and I got it for like 30 bucks... 25+ years ago?

[steel stream]

I had like 10g of NT-H1 at some point, gone now though

was nice to have

[frank zealot]

I worked at FrozenCPU at the time, and we bought from them direct

so one time I just asked "what's the biggest tube you have, and what's it cost?"

so I bought myself one for the lulz

[pure garnet]

twin

i bought the 80g of the zalman stuff but i haven’t used it yet

i put duronaut on my "new" (rebuilt desktop for the 95th time) setup

[steel stream]

I think my desktop uses NT-H1, laptop uses PTM, and 12700k in the NAS uses PTM as well

[pure garnet]

i ptm'd my zephyrus but it has not made much of a difference

the stock lm was terrible so i guess it's better than that

but not by much really

[steel stream]

PTM on my laptop is about the same tbh

[frank zealot]

I've got PTM to put on anything I don't want to take apart again

[cosmic gazelle]

i’m about to test fire the x370 once i find a dvi cable

[pure garnet]

i think the 7735hs is one of those chips with a 95c temp target though

so it's possible it's boosting higher and i never looked

[steel stream]

yeah that's why it's on the NAS lol, that cooler ain't coming off ever

[cosmic gazelle]

yes i have an 8645hs which is like the same chip

they run hot

[pure garnet]

at least you have zen 4

i had the chud zen 3+

[frank zealot]

last time I took apart my NAS, I almost bricked the board >.>

[steel stream]

nice lol

[cosmic gazelle]

8000 mobile is the same as 7000 mobile for the most part unless the 7735 is different

[pure garnet]

damn that's a good price for low res oled

[frank zealot]

I effed up and bent 2 pins in the socket.

I had to use my phone on a tripod, w zoom and a needle to bend them back into place

[pure garnet]

that gen of amd parts is 3rd number determines real cpu gen

[cosmic gazelle]

i’m such a fat chud where are my dvi cables

[pure garnet]

so since you have an 8645hs you got zen 4, i have a 7735hs which is zen 3+

[cosmic gazelle]

gotcha

[steel stream]

damn

[frank zealot]

I just got some 10 and 15' DP Cables in this week

[cosmic gazelle]

oh dvi cable where art thou

[pure garnet]

i bought a silkland displayport cable and it's one of the cables i've used

[steel stream]

with the dinosaurs where it belongs

[cosmic gazelle]

i have to update my bios with a gt 630 cuz it’s the only card i have on hand and it only has dvi and mini hdmi

[steel stream]

Dinosaur Video Interface

[cosmic gazelle]

and who the fuck has mini hdmi

[pure garnet]

my portable monitor

and then my rpi has micro hdmi :)

[cosmic gazelle]

ok time to see what mystery meat bios this thing has

ewww it has rgb around the audio chip

that’s chopped

[frank zealot]

I've got half a dozen DVI to HDMI cables

[cosmic gazelle]

dvi to hdmi doesn’t work on the only dvi monitor i have

it’s insanely ancient

ah shit it has 5220 i have to do the sketchy downgrade bs

[frank zealot]

is it analog dvi or digital

cuz that makes a big difference in what it supports

[cosmic gazelle]

i would imagine it’s definitely analog yeah

[pure garnet]

y

[frank zealot]

(The fact that some engineer decided that a port named "Digital Video Interface" Would support a fucking ANALOG signal was clearly fucking mental)

[cosmic gazelle]

because zen+ only agesa is way better for oc and this has zen 2 agesa on it

[steel stream]

engineers are hilarious

[pure garnet]

digital video
look inside
analog

[frank zealot]

DVI was also confusing all the time it existed:

DVI-D (Digital)
DVI-D Dual-Link (Double Bandwidth DVI Digital)
DVI-I
DVI-A

DVI-I and DVI-A cables didn't always work on DVI-D devices, because... who needs compatibility?

[steel stream]

so funny

[frank zealot]

@edgy laurel
https://youtu.be/A7RZbCvgzz8

[civic reef]

Laptop acquired

No thermal paste because ofcourse I need to wait longer

But this is enough to get it working

[cosmic gazelle]

@pure garnet might have been rushing a little

i was wondering why it was 40c in the bios lmao

[pure garnet]

mint

[frank zealot]

dude fookin' 3d printed a resin flow meter as part of his case

[steel stream]

ok that's pretty cool

[frank zealot]

the panels are also resin printed and part of the loop

his workshop equipment is worth more than my car- when it was new

[steel stream]

ah so like StuffMadeHere's workshop

that shit is nuts

[pure garnet]

magic mouse for $30

time to play fortnite with that

[steel stream]

mickey?

[pure garnet]

apple

[steel stream]

yup that makes a lot more sense

https://tenor.com/view/jeremy-clarkson-sometimes-my-genius-almost-frightening-driving-car-ride-gif-16463163

Why does Jimmy Johns have an app for the apple watch

[frank zealot]

oh sorry, he laser cut acrylic for the panels

[steel stream]

that rat bastard

[frank zealot]

he 3d prints "channel spacers" for the build, and then injects silicone into the gaps, to make custom o-rings for his channels, and they're all perfectly sealed

[ruby rose]

Hello smart people of the LTTs

I'm looking for a Dell or HP workstation that can take 128/256gb ddr4 memory (rdimm) and my Xeon e5 2699v4. Anyone know of what kind of model numbers or things I should look out for?

[steel stream]

smart?

[steel stream]

god damn

[ruby rose]

Well that's the kind I was hoping for but I'll settle for mediocre if there are none atm😜

[steel stream]

mediocre?

[frank zealot]

HP Z440

[ruby rose]

That sure ticks all the boxes as far as I can see rn, you da best!

[steel stream]

oh I used to have one of those

[frank zealot]

Dell Precision 7910

[frank zealot]

spoiler:

Google: HP/Dell Xeon E5 2699 V4

and see what boxes use those chips

[ruby rose]

I googled hp workstation Xeon ddr4, probs confused even Google lmao

[steel stream]

cut out a chunk of the top of my Z440 to fit a fan

[shell void]

looks optimal to me

[frank zealot]

thing is there's like 8 years of workstations that use DDR4

and most of them won't run that chip

[steel stream]

def an optimal build

[cosmic gazelle]

@pure garnet ya confirmed i have to boot into windows and use ami flash utility engineering version to downgrade my bios lol

this thing

[civic reef]

So now running into issues and there're too many variables for me to know what's the issue

Im tired of all this

[young void]

Whats happening?

[frank zealot]

scroll up and look at the resin printed loop that dude built

[cosmic gazelle]

would be funny if i tripped over my power cable rn

[steel stream]

no balls

[young void]

Wickedddd

[cosmic gazelle]

i really hate that AI is like “let me know if it’s successful!” YOURE A ROBOT LEAVE ME ALONE

[devout ridge]

feeling very trump-y

[cosmic gazelle]

what mods? or just a launcher?

[devout ridge]

Mostly just QOL mods

[steel stream]

not great enough

[steel stream]

Certainly! You're absolutely right, I will make sure to do that from now on!

[devout ridge]

You can see the outline of the wall to come

[hoary hatch]

Spending money smh

[devout ridge]

you can get a bike for free of FB marketplace

[hoary hatch]

I have a bike from college but it's not very comfortable (I am old now)

I don't like the road bike seating position

So I need to just get rid of my bike

[pure garnet]

bikes don't have air conditioning so cars are better

[hoary hatch]

Well the other issue is rain

[steel stream]

yeah but you can bike 2.5 mi in like 10-15 minutes

[granite dirge]

I really hate chat gpt. And people using it to try and do my job at ikea then when they try to have me remake it so they can buy it I have to explain that the design won't work

[granite dirge]

They have wind.

[hoary hatch]

I really have zero interest in biking in the rain

[pure garnet]

wind doesn't go to 68

[inland dome]

Dlss4.5 is the gift that keeps giving chat

[steel stream]

biking in high temps is brutal even with winds sometimes

[steel stream]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/kY5pO5lkpBM

[inland dome]

I have next to if not zero interest in MFGx6 or even MFGx5 really, but the new preset of frame generation fixed the frametimes so much when you drop below 60 base fps

[hoary hatch]

Okay our rain is a lot lighter than that lmao

[wise bear]

Got me a couch for the tv den

[hoary hatch]

But rain + sub 40 degrees temperature in the winter makes being outside unpleasant

[steel stream]

yeah that's not great

[pure garnet]

my neighbors are getting their carpets cleaned so it's just an annoying buzz of doom in my room rn

[wise bear]

oh yeah dude my area's supposed to freeze mega hardcore tonight

[ruby rose]

What is the gpu comparison website that's often used/suggested? I know userbenchmark isn't the one but cannot remember

[steel stream]

tom's hardware

no techpowerup whoops

Only 35 tonight

[wise bear]

[civic reef]

IT'S ON

It said something about bad BIOS config
I am in the bios now

Okay laptop has the date a "bit" off
It says the date is 01/01/2001, and it's 1 AM

[pure garnet]

once you sync in windows it'll fix itself

[civic reef]

I think this is because I mostly pulled the CMOS battery out, and reset it

[pure garnet]

ya

[civic reef]

Atleast the laptop is running

It didn't power on at all before

[civic reef]

-Didn't read entirely, will see if it happens again

[wise bear]

artemis TLI burn @ 7:49EST

[civic reef]

I am going to load default configuration

Just for pure stability

Okay like
It's not powering on again

If I have it in the charger, nothing from the power button

I had to disconnect it, press the power button for anything to happen, THEN connect it

[cosmic gazelle]

well

[civic reef]

Okay, I got to see one of the errors again

[cosmic gazelle]

i didn’t break my motherboard but that just sat there and did nothing for 20 mins

[civic reef]

019 I believe
Critical low battery

Even though it's charging

Should I just leave it to charge

[ruby rose]

Are 12vhpr connectors now "safe"? Or are gpus still catching fire n stuff

Haven't seen anything about it in a while

[civic reef]

It's been almost a year since it had power in

And this isn't even primary power
I am using the USB-C port

[pure garnet]

just leave it to change awhile

[civic reef]

Yeah good idea

[pure garnet]

batteries that are super low start off slow charging

[civic reef]

I thought it'd just run if I had the charger in though

That's what it was like when I was still using it

I disconnected the battery from inside, held the power button for a minute

[pure garnet]

if you got it plugged in right yeah it’s fine

[civic reef]

Unplugged the CMOS whilst I was at it

And this is the first time I got a result

@pure garnet
Now the laptop is giving me a warning that the adapter I am using has a lower wattage than recommended, and I'll need to connect the adapter shipped with it to use AC power

It's a 45W, T470s maximum is 65W

It's also giving me an option - "Press ESC to continue"

It's the obvious option but I am not pressing it yet

It just bloody shut off

Wait wait no it was restarting

Windows is now loading

[pure garnet]

it probably expects 65w

[civic reef]

Another thing just came up

It booted on, windows was installing
Fans ramped up LOUD, and it just shut off

Is there a way to see CPU temps in this thing's bios

Because I am thinking it's an overheating issue

[pure garnet]

doubt it

to seeing them

honestly if you can figure out the logistics you could sit a desktop cooler on the heatpipe of the laptop cooler and it'd wick away some heat

[hollow flume]

Wacha guys think of this combo for the price?

[civic reef]

Not turning on again
Maybe it spent what little battery it had??

[young void]

Is the battery removable?

[civic reef]

Yeah

I removed it to drain the thing

[young void]

Take it out, plug it in and try powering on

[civic reef]

It's back inside though

[civic reef]

Tried that, nothing really happened

Results only happened once it was plugged back in alongside a charger

[turbid locust]

Would personally swap the AIO for something else

[young void]

You check the rams seated/ssd?

And or a hdmi to tv in hopes itll project

[hollow flume]

Any recoms? also its for a ryzen 3800x so its not much of a load

[civic reef]

It works, it's booted twice

Once was a critical power level, no battery

Second time it got to windows, which told me to restart

[young void]

If the battery's bad it wont power up thats why I was wondering at first

My laptop hasnt had one in years

[civic reef]

Third time (oops thrice not twice) it started downloading, shut off on 9%

[civic reef]

Yeah I tried that

Battery removed, plugged in to charger, nothing

[young void]

Bad windows mayhaps if crashing doing a windows update

Or maybe a meh drive

[civic reef]

I think it's a fresh install

Because it said the laptop may restart several times, which I've seen when fully resetting it

[civic reef]

Drive was in good condition on Crystaldisk

[young void]

Can't hurt to make a linux distro on a usb or small nvme/sata then boot to it for sanity

[civic reef]

I really think I used up the little battery it had

Or it overheated

[young void]

Should power on with no battery if its the battery* while plugged in ofc

[civic reef]

For the first theory:
It has a 45W charger in, and this is the first time it's ran in close to a year

For second theory:
Fans ramped up LOUD, and the thing has a history of throttling

[civic reef]

Too tired to try that again, plus the table I was working on has now been folded away to make space for sleeping mattresses, so can't work either

[young void]

Good to clean dust bunnies every few years to prevent clogs

[frank zealot]

80fps on a 5090 w DLSS.
lololol

[civic reef]

I'll wait until 0100 (in 19 minutes)

It'd probably have an okay enough charge then

[civic reef]

Doesn't seem that dirty, but I don't think the previous owner was anything of a good owner

Didn't say SHITE about the secondary battery being bad, which I had to remove (now running on the main 23Wh)

[turbid locust]

ATP get a $30 dual tower air cooler lol

[civic reef]

Cheapest dual 120mm tower, or just the classic peerless assassin

[turbid locust]

Peerless whateverthehell they call it now

[hollow flume]

Hits 80C in any game

[turbid locust]

they work till like 90 so

[hollow flume]

if its at 100% cpu it just shuts down

[turbid locust]

word

sounds like more than a cooling issue ngl

[civic reef]

Guess what

[young void]

Whats that owo

[civic reef]

I already have mint on an external HDD, the install Media x3

[hollow flume]

OR RATHER it throws a black screen with a gpu debug, HOW EVER under full gpu load it doesnt do anything

[civic reef]

Grabbed it on accident thinking it was my power bank

Glad I have it on me atleast

[hollow flume]

atp i might as well change cooler and see whats gonna happen

[civic reef]

Ovo???

[young void]

You changed the boot order?

[young void]

Its a stare face emote

Kinda like this 0_O

[latent juniper]

It does not give me any other option other than the current main drive of the computer (that has Ubuntu)

But it detects the usb in the bios

Just not as a boot option

[young void]

Try taking out the unbuntu drive

[frank zealot]

did you see that 3d printed loop earlier?
jesus I'm jealous of that dude's workshop

[civic reef]

Oh no I know
I was just surprised at seeing you use it lol

[pure garnet]

ah yes

the 9850x3d 5500 xt 4gb

newegg combo selector lets you do 270k plus and a tuf z890 board for $490 before tax, pretty good

i was using a dos tool that can only read aptio iv roms and it’s an aptio v board

Only asus boards have it?

[shell void]

yeah when people talk about SP theyre specifically talking about Asus boards

other brands have some quality ratings but theyre not directly comparable

[hoary hatch]

ASRock had their own measurement

I haven't found one in my tomahawk bios yet

[young void]

Hrm, not the same

just try it! man trust

[shell void]

looks like 52 core nova lake laptops are not happening

makes sense but it wouldve been silly and amusing

[devout ridge]

look at this sexy boy

[steel stream]

tbh im not mad about it, crazy core count in a laptop

[devout ridge]

and even sexier GPUs

[pure garnet]

msi doesn't have one

asus has sp scores, asrock has "silicon quality" and gigabyte does cpu biscuits

[shell void]

yeah i think the desktop ultra 9 is going to have like 496W PL2 by default so idk how theyd make it work well in a laptop

[steel stream]

anyone buying a 52 core laptop should go home and rethink their choices

[young void]

All the biscuitsss

[steel stream]

laptop just with no battery or smth lol

[devout ridge]

how many cores in a laptop?

[steel stream]

52, but it's not happening anymore

[shell void]

so itll be 28 cores which is still a record breaker afaik

[steel stream]

yeah i don't know of higher than 16

[shell void]

well arrow lake is 24

[steel stream]

I've just been outed as a fake intel fan.

[shell void]

and you daily drive arrow lake too

youre on fraud watch buddy

[pure garnet]

i’m trying 9067 gear 4 to see if my 265k is officially a turd

if this works then i know it is

just go for like gear 8

[cosmic gazelle]

anybody use a bios reprogrammer

they’re like 10 bucks i’m thinking about getting one

[pure garnet]

okay yeah it does it fine in gear 4

big frowning emoji

[shell void]

turd would be one that cant do 8600 even with fafo

9000+ daily stable with reasonable voltages is not a guarantee

[pure garnet]

anything that isn't super cool on arrow lake feels like a turd because this platform is kinda lame

[steel stream]

how dare you

[merry stirrup]

DO NOT

current state of my desk

[hoary hatch]

I am not surprised

[shell void]

same it's just too much silicon for a laptop

it would be power throttled so hard

[steel stream]

52 cores at even like 70 watts would be starved

[shell void]

if a crazy oem wants to make an 18" desktop replacement "laptop" with a lga1954 socket then they can

[cosmic gazelle]

feel like if they can comfortably cool 150 watts with a gaming laptop they could just make a desktop replacement that uses the same cooling for exclusively the CPU lmao

[shell void]

yeah powering it is the real problem

it would be very easy to cool even at 150W because it's so much silicon

but 150W is still super starving it

[cosmic gazelle]

BRO

how does windows update take an hour on ethernet and iot ltsc

are we so for real

[steel stream]

it's thinking about it

[shell void]

have you tried asking it politely to download?

[pure garnet]

8600 runs at low daily volts so i guess minor win

but im not touching it again today bc i got raid in 14

[cosmic gazelle]

can i never enable secure boot btw

rufus said there’s a security warning

[pure garnet]

you can after it's installed

[keen stag]

Is a 4070 super for 550 USD a good deal?

[shell void]

if youre american then no because the 5070 is still instock for $600USD

[keen stag]

Well the 5070 at microcenter is often 100-150 dollars more

[cosmic gazelle]

errmmmmm it’s actually 629 bozo

[keen stag]

Plus I need a gpu by tomorrow since my current one just died

[shell void]

nevertheless it's instock right now for $630, and the PNY base model for $600 gets restocked regularly

$550USD for a 4070 Super is a high price

it's not a horrible price, it's just not a good price by any means

[cosmic gazelle]

yeesh ai freaks made this the cheapest 4080

[keen stag]

Oh it is? Cheapest I’ve seen one for locally

[trim agate]

B650E-E

great name

[shell void]

if you live near a microcenter then you can probably find a 5070 for $600 or less in-store, perchance even with a resident evil requiem game key

[cosmic gazelle]

why do the cheap ones always look so ugly bro

[shell void]

youre not allowed to have a big pretty card if you wont pay for it

[cosmic gazelle]

this is my graphics card

isn’t it pretty :)

[steel stream]

I've got no idea

[cosmic gazelle]

my other graphics card, very high end yes yes

[hoary hatch]

Ewaste

[steel stream]

my knowledge is quite limited to general PC things, then more in depth display and audio stuff

[shell void]

are you gonna delid that turd?

[steel stream]

but what if i love it

[shell void]

it uses toothpaste tim instead of solder under the ihs

[trim agate]

sometimes i think i have limited knowledge in something then i realise people think windows runs off their monitor (not including all in ones)

[cosmic gazelle]

no, and yes i’m aware, am4 silicone is a pain in the ass and i do not care enough

i’m just gonna see what it can do at 1.2 soc

[shell void]

🐥

[cosmic gazelle]

bz posted a full spreadsheet on the 2400g and never mentioned delidding

[steel stream]

Limited as in withing this server, there a lot of people here that know a lot more than me about things

[cosmic gazelle]

so i’m assuming it’s gonna be fine

[shell void]

🐤

[trim agate]

oh - yeah im cooked in this server ngl

sometimes i wonder how i fend for myself in conversations here

[cosmic gazelle]

you get used to getting shit on whenever you pipe up about things you don’t know enough about

[shell void]

my pipe is empty

[steel stream]

talk when you can, listen whenever else

or i guess read

[trim agate]

nah just talk out of your ass and make it sound like you know what you're talking about

[trim agate]

idk what soc means in this context

[steel stream]

system on chip

or might be socket

[cosmic gazelle]

system on chip voltage

[trim agate]

oh

[cosmic gazelle]

controls the memory controller and integrated graphics

[keen stag]

The only reason i even considered it is because it’s this card for 550

[steel stream]

I'm 🐐 ed

[trim agate]

soc to me means security operations centre

[cosmic gazelle]

that’s a ridiculous price looking to take advantage of unsuspecting clueless people

[keen stag]

Apparently the majority is trying to take advantage of people then 😭

[cosmic gazelle]

yes

precisely

[keen stag]

I guess it really does prove the point of “people think better looks equals more value” and maybe in some cases but not that much

[cosmic gazelle]

windows update has been at 97% downloading for 15 minutes let’s GOOOO

[shell void]

it wouldve finished by now if you had delidded the 2400G

[cosmic gazelle]

you know damn well that shit is limited to 65 watts out the box

[steel stream]

you'll never know unless you delid it

[topaz veldt]

Wild

[young void]

9900x had decent rating

Now I wanna know what the 9950x is at

[devout ridge]

any guesses as to an R730xd won’t give a video out from the installed GTX1070?

caps lock works, so it’s on

known working gpu, also reset CMOS

[young void]

You snag the driver?

[devout ridge]

can’t even get into bios

[topaz veldt]

Smbus trick

[devout ridge]

elaborate?

[young void]

Oh i see

[topaz veldt]

Also to use a GPU you might still need the higher wattage psus

[devout ridge]

I have it on an external ATX psu that i jumpers

also it has dual 1100w psus

[topaz veldt]

System is smarter

[devout ridge]

“dual 1100w psus”

[topaz veldt]

Yup

Ok

[devout ridge]

i just need to get into bios so i can reset the idrac

[topaz veldt]

I don't think it'll ever do bios out the dGPU

[devout ridge]

so how do i get into bios when the cpus dont have IGPUs

[topaz veldt]

It's not like a desktop

The server doesn't use CPU igpu, it has embedded dgpu

[young void]

Huh im not familiar and didnt look up what hes using i only understood gpu no display. So appreciate you as always lord snailss

[devout ridge]

so if i vga out, then i should get bios?

from the mobo i mean

[young void]

Sounds so, if im picking up what hes putting down

[topaz veldt]

Yah

[devout ridge]

okay one moment please

been there done that

[young void]

Very groovy, little things

[steel stream]

done what

[devout ridge]

i actually can’t find a vga cable for some reason

[vestal granite]

do you have one

[young void]

I funny enough got a cheap vga to hdmi adapter the other day off alie express just in case

[devout ridge]

i do, i bought one at some point

specifically for another server i was working on

[young void]

But in wich box/drawer

[devout ridge]

precisely the issue

[vestal granite]

are you searching where the cable is

[devout ridge]

FOUND IT

[vestal granite]

there you go thats what i was sayin

just look where the cable is

[steel stream]

would you know where my keys are

[devout ridge]

no output, shows this warning light

[steel stream]

it ain't got no gas in it!

[devout ridge]

keyboard still responds to caps lock though

[steel stream]

Or is it saying your server doesn't have a pulse

[devout ridge]

it’s basically just saying “something isn’t working”

[merry stirrup]

finally using kyokos arc for its purpose

[steel stream]

media or gaming

[merry stirrup]

media lol fuck you talking bout gaming arc for

[shell void]

randy if you chop another $39 off of that price then ill consider it

[merry stirrup]

skull

[merry stirrup]

gets like 500fps in the transcodes i need it for

but when 4 people r transcoding that changes

[shell void]

i forgot that kyoko hard an arc gpu

[merry stirrup]

down to like 120 which is still fine

[shell void]

what is it? a310 or somethin?

[merry stirrup]

yeah i should’ve had her sign it smh

[merry stirrup]

A750

[shell void]

oh

[merry stirrup]

yeah it’s overkill as fuck for jfin transcoding

[shell void]

bigger GPU than your 5070Ti being used for transcodes is amusing

[merry stirrup]

yeah i think the a310 would be issue prone however

[steel stream]

idk man you kinda silly like that

[steel stream]

it's so goated

[merry stirrup]

it’s only a 4gb card right?

[steel stream]

yeeah

[merry stirrup]

yeah that’s diabolical

yeah 4gb no work in my scenario

4-6+ transcodes sometimes

[steel stream]

my a380 did 4 4K transcodes pretty well tbh

[merry stirrup]

genuinely my homie didn’t believe that it’s like what they’re made for 😭

[merry stirrup]

i ran out of vram on a 2GB card after 3 streams so i’m just guessing educationally

[cosmic gazelle]

2400g hits 60c during cinebench with all stock settings, bit lower than where i started on the 4790k

[steel stream]

yeah but the Arc media engine is fire

anyways I've got a b580 in my nas it's chilling

[cosmic gazelle]

stock boost is 3.7 all core

[merry stirrup]

true idk how it works across gens

[cosmic gazelle]

listen man

[steel stream]

I just like the LE design

[merry stirrup]

same. although i saw a sparkle b570 and thought it looked nice

idk you guys see the big ai kahuna i sent?

[steel stream]

yuh that was cool

[merry stirrup]

weird seeing amd cards with 12vhpwr

[steel stream]

I still want a B60 dual pro

[merry stirrup]

i may see one in my life if i get lucky

[cosmic gazelle]

holy shit

[merry stirrup]

i’ll photograph

[shell void]

delid it coward

[steel stream]

that would be so awesome

[cosmic gazelle]

2400g at stock is worse than the 4790k at stock on a 65w limited board

[merry stirrup]

bro

[steel stream]

I think it's one of my favorite cards in recent history

[merry stirrup]

how many times do we gotta say that ryzen 2000 is worse than haswell

[shell void]

isnt that jawn zen 1, and with halved cache too? it's going to have prehistoric performance

[merry stirrup]

for you to actually believe us

[merry stirrup]

yeah exactly this

[cosmic gazelle]

i bought it for pennies i just find it funny

[merry stirrup]

💀😭

[cosmic gazelle]

i do not care how well the cpu performs really

[merry stirrup]

my 1400 was terrible

[cosmic gazelle]

mostly just gpu and ram

[merry stirrup]

it does have a great memory controller though

[cosmic gazelle]

this thing literally idles 5c above ambient tho

which is pretty impressive

[cosmic gazelle]

can i just plug this fan into cpu opt and put it facing my ram btw

[merry stirrup]

yeah

[cosmic gazelle]

ok

most chopped part of this whole build why did x series boards do this

[steel stream]

most chopped part is that it's AMD

i dare you to throw a handful of metallic spoons and forks on it

or metal shavings

[cosmic gazelle]

you’ll be sorry when i’m running cs2 at the framerate of a gtx 1050 while consuming twice the power, pal.

[devout ridge]

how sketchy do we think this is?
https://www.ebay.com/itm/198245908687

[wraith steeple]

[storm hatch]

as the seller names state maybe

[merry stirrup]

i mean volta sucks at ai stuff so if you want it for that good luck

[devout ridge]

nah, FP32

15.67 FP32 TFLOPS

For reference, the 4080S does 52.22 FP32 TFLOPS

[young void]

Thats alot of floating points

[devout ridge]

lots of floating points

[young void]

Elijahs out here chugging red bull and slaying zombies like its early 2000s

[merry stirrup]

arbitrary ahh comparison but sounds okie

[devout ridge]

comparison because the 4080S is the other big GPU i use for F@H

[wraith steeple]

Hmmmm eh I guess the AMD K5 PR133 will do. It should drive the ATI All-in-wonder Rage II+DVD (Mach64GT-B based) with little to no issue

[devout ridge]

So i'm comparing against the GPU that I already use for my workload

The GPU i'm actually going to use because it's less than a quarter the price is the P100 at 9.5 FP32 TFLOPS

~350usd for 1 V100, or 87usd for 1 P100

So for 350usd i can either get the one V100 and get 15.67 FP32 TFLOPS, or get 4 P100's and get 38.1 FP32 TFLOPS aggregate

[wraith steeple]

PR150 and PR166 variants are just not worth the extra cost. And don't even think about the PR200, Bass. Those are damn near impossible to find

[devout ridge]

and in my case it does split across GPUs perfectly, so no performance degradation for multiple GPUs

only downside is power draw

300w vs 1000w

I do also get 4x the VRAM though, which Folding@Home does benefit from, so it might even be more than 4x the uplift at the same cost

[devout ridge]

i found where i can steal 3000 more watts of power for my rack

the circuit right outside the room my rack is in is on its own circuit, and so is another separate outlet that is on its own third circuit

3 15a 120v circuits at my disposal

[hoary hatch]

Do I want it

[merry stirrup]

worth it for sure

YOOOO

im still mad about this ashit monitor in search of incredible

i got a 2tb 990 pro for 250 in dec

[trim agate]

Lesson learnt Asus customer service fucking sucks

[brisk jolt]

my 4tb was $422

[brisk jolt]

i had no hope in trying them anyway

the retailer and asus are fully baiting each other to take responsibility

asus even tried to blame the courier

like deadass I was holding back cursing

but I know its their stupid policy and I cant just pin it onto the cs agent

i regret cancelling the d5 kit since my reason back then was its not compatible with core ultra

the d4 was a gift for a friend

[trim agate]

Asus customer service is just completely garbage and refuse to ever take accountability it’s so annoying

Just admit you fucked up and do something about it stop passing the blame around

[brisk jolt]

its easier if the distributor is on your side

[trim agate]

They had my laptop completely fucked up

And by the time it got back to me it was out of warranty and there was nothing they could do

Or wanted to do i’d say

[brisk jolt]

i dont care i will get my wanted ending in this

ill actually be a pest to asus and shopee for my refund

[trim agate]

They have such great products but my god their customer service sucks

I’m sure you’ll get your refund

[cosmic gazelle]

i am biosless

[trim agate]

This is what home severs are for so you can still have fun on web interfaces and terminals

[cosmic gazelle]

i will trade you a monitor for a bios sir

[brisk jolt]

i still have my aunt’s QHD240hz, my vertical monitor FHD100hz and a portable FHD144hz

and I still have my OLED tablet to stream games to

[cosmic gazelle]

however the problem is i remain biosless

[trim agate]

Why does your aunt have a QHD240hz

[cosmic gazelle]

i got one of these on deck ready to mail to your location

[brisk jolt]

its my old monitor that I just passed down

[cosmic gazelle]

you could win a cs tournament with this bad boy

[trim agate]

Passed up you mean

[brisk jolt]

you win on this

[trim agate]

😂

I’ve been convinced to buy the qd-oled qhd 360hz

[brisk jolt]

i think my current only options are realistically the new 5th gen QDoleds that are UWQHD 360hz at 34”

i cant get any info on the 32” 4K except for the UCDM3 which is OOS same with my broken fuckin XG32UCWMG model

god these models are so long to type but I somehow remember them since best of best

[cosmic gazelle]

i miss when you were a nerd for having a 1440p 144hz panel

[trim agate]

Lololol I don’t care enough to memorise them

[trim agate]

I remember seeing 4k 24” on the market

[brisk jolt]

i dont wanna go ultrawide since theres the curve

[trim agate]

Yeah I’m not buying a curved display again

I don’t hate it, it’s just annoying to match up other displays with

[brisk jolt]

im not sure if the new gens are 100% curved but it seems stupid to go UW over 4K even though theres the 120hz diff for the same price

i can go visit my grandma and gramps if i wanted to rn since im nearby tbh

i miss this place (ubi)

[low sorrel]

I think im doing decent for the 3rd game ever of playing a russian jet

[wispy sequoia]

Poor F-4s. I tried using them after they banned the tomcats and they're so painfully helpless.

[low sorrel]

I DIED WITH THE NUKE

the tu95 one

big sad

[pure garnet]

does the prime not have flashback

@cosmic gazelle

[brisk jolt]

i found a box to take back

another day

[nova patrol]

ye referance

[brisk jolt]

@shell void HIGHKEY

[lethal topaz]

1500 for a 42in c5? isnt that kinda pricey

bruh a c5 is 999 at best buy

[brisk jolt]

thats singapore dollars and post taxes

after vouchers its gonna be 1.3k sgd

[lethal topaz]

ah

[cosmic gazelle]

if your boot block is included in the blocks that don’t follow the format the board is looking for, then crashfree never initializes

[civic reef]

Got MX-4

And a laptop stand

[topaz veldt]

MX7 is the new jam

[topaz veldt]

83" G6 hmm

[shell void]

i think you need one for the media room

[topaz veldt]

yeah i think that might be next project

my wife wants to redo her office so I might do like an entertaining space

like bar/kitchenette with media room

I want to see what proper atmos setups cost

without being insane

[steel stream]

I concur

[steel stream]

You probs know this, but go for proper in ceiling height speakers as opposed to upward firing speakers

it makes so much of a difference

[sullen otter]

i have a gtx 1070 and a 14600k. i need a gpu upgrade whats a good upgrade for me thats atleast 30 series nvidia or 6000 series amd

[topaz veldt]

yup

[steel stream]

Depending on how much you're going to spend on speakers, shouldn't be too crazy expensive. I really like 7.X.4 setups, I think that is the way to go

Atmos goes up to 24.X.10, but I don't think you need to go that crazy lol

[last berry]

Is it a good idea to buy a mini/prebuilt PC for a family member from a refurbishing site? The main thing theyre gonna be doing is checking their mails and surfing the web / doing taxes etc...
https://www.refurbed.com/c/desktops/

[topaz veldt]

lol def not

@turbid locust

[trim agate]

i dunno about these but a used mac mini would be dope

[civic reef]

Prices seem a bit high

[brisk jolt]

5070 or 9070xt

[civic reef]

You could get T480s or such for that price

[sullen otter]

any cheaper used options?

[civic reef]

That M920q tiny
What're the full specs?

[last berry]

idk ngl that was just an example to show what im talking about

but compared to a laptop w/ the same specs the refurbished mini-pcs (if thats the correct name) are way cheaper

which makes sense

since theres no monitor / battery

etc

[civic reef]

If you can get something with atleast an i5-8400T and a SATA / NVMe SSD for like at most €180 or such, that'd be great

[civic reef]

Yeah these also perform better usually

You get desktop chips that can be replaced and/or upgraded

Sometimes GPU compatibility too

[last berry]

Buying those refurbished is fine, correct?

When buying a refurbished phone you always have to look out for a good battery, minimal repair etc

but with those it doesnt matter if someone has changed a ram stick or the ssd

correct?

[civic reef]

Yep

At most, just ask to do a stability test beforehand

Or if they allow returns, download OCCT (Stability and OC testing software) and check if anything errors

RAM sticks being changed only matters if the computer shipped with two, and even then it only becomes an issue if they have different speeds and/or latencies

@last berry Although, since it's 8GB, you'll probably be fine with the RAM, it's most probably only one stick anyway

[trim agate]

till they pull out the 4x2GB

[last berry]

DDR-1

of course

[civic reef]

Lmfao

[civic reef]

DDR4 2133 CL22

Atleast it's dual channel!!!

[cosmic gazelle]

@civic reef did you hear i bricked a board’s bios and have to write it with a hardware programmer tonight lmao

[topaz veldt]

yet still cannot actually buy it

[shell void]

🔎

[steel stream]

crazy that they got it working so quickly

[green marsh]

hm... for 32GB VRAM for home AI, B70 Pro is starting to get kinda questionable with this pricing (keep in mind, i am going from dual 1080 TI, so compared to those, even a pair of these will be a lot faster)

[devout ridge]

time to take apart a psu!

[steel stream]

https://tenor.com/view/marv-gif-9552307

[shell void]

now i’m hoping that they don’t get it to work easily in an apex because i’ll want one

[pure garnet]

isn’t the cpu locked?

[shell void]

yes

[wise bear]

ITS COMING TODAYYYY

[brisk jolt]

maybe I should indeed get a C5

because why the fuck is the XG and PG sold out everywhere

[shell void]

cus they’re the two best monitors xD

[devout ridge]

figured out why the psu died at least

(i already checked every cap to make sure they weren’t energized)

[wise bear]

eh you mainly just have to discharge the main filter cap

just bridge its pins with a screwdriver

[devout ridge]

ik, i was being overly safe by checking them all

[brisk jolt]

every retailer pulled their listing all of a sudden

[wise bear]

12v cap isn't gonna do diddly to dry skin

[devout ridge]

it was already very dead after sitting in my closet for a year

[wise bear]

400v mains cap will cause damage lmao

[devout ridge]

the amount of missing or bridged components is weird

[wise bear]

(its only energized at 120~v)

[devout ridge]

whole bunch of missing shit

[pure garnet]

400v is light work for a girl like me

[frank zealot]

Anyone need a 13400 chip on the cheap? I've got another one lol

[steel stream]

just use claude bro

[turbid locust]

sidenote fellas I got peer pressured into opening CS cases last night

do not do that shit LMFAO

[frank zealot]

what kinda CS Cases

[turbid locust]

I opened 100 Kilowatt

[pure garnet]

bro 😭
