[topaz veldt]

See the link I posted - there's like 41 combinations lol

[devout ridge]

oh god

[topaz veldt]

Then also depending on what heatsinks and ducting is in the server they may not even fit

its kind of a shitshow to be honest

[odd sable]

its configurable

[topaz veldt]

Its what

[odd sable]

its a configurable shitshow

[topaz veldt]

Its a configurabel shitshow when you buy new from Dell

trying to make it work 2nd hand off ebay is hell

[odd sable]

just buy new from dell then

[topaz veldt]

I don't think they have $20k

[odd sable]

jUsT bUy NeW fRoM dElL tHeN

[topaz veldt]

@devout ridge so anyway its just confusing af. And R740 was the era where not many people spec'd GPUs yet so almost all of the configs on ebay are without GPU

[patent gorge]

I'm confused. aren't risers passive components. as long as it's the right number of lanes and validated for the necessary speed per lane, anything else is just for finding a shape that fits your case best?

[odd sable]

R740 is also skylake xeons, which are meh

[topaz veldt]

They are fine

Just GPU config 2nd hand is a headache

[devout ridge]

Risers in this case also dictate what bandwidth and power you get

[topaz veldt]

well it also maps to CPUs

[devout ridge]

the Riser isn't just PCIe, but also power breakout for the card

[odd sable]

its not necesscarily as cheap per unit, but also consider getting an 8GPU cahssis

[topaz veldt]

You could also forego 3 x P100s and just get a big ram current GPU and do better lol

I would take a 5090 over 3 P100s

distill or quantized model

P100 is going to be dogshit slow

[odd sable]

something like this, shove 8 GPUs in there, and its single CPU too
https://www.ebay.com/itm/277823435001

[devout ridge]

3 P100's is 250usd, a 5090 is not

[topaz veldt]

yeah but at that point just buy $250 on a platform

P100 is going to be unbearable inference

[devout ridge]

Wouldn't get the same quantity of VRAM

P100 is also good price to performance for my other need, F@H (FP32 mainly)

[topaz veldt]

😒

i would just not recommend building out a platform with that kind of hardware in 2026

[devout ridge]

i'm broke and i like experimenting, and that's the cheapest way to do it

[cosmic gazelle]

you are correct @merry stirrup 1.35 performs exactly the same as 1.42 lol

looks like i do indeed have c die in a trench coat

[merry stirrup]

lol

[cosmic gazelle]

still maxes out the frequency of the 2400g’s imc so whatever

[green marsh]

i am still looking at choice between B70 Pro (1300 euros), 2x 9070XT (1300 euros), 2x 5060 Ti (1200 euros), 2x 9060 XT (800 euros)

need to decide in ~1-2 weeks when i get my yearly bonuses 😄

[topaz veldt]

Single GPU always

[green marsh]

yeah, but harder to get (B70 for now is only in germany)

[topaz veldt]

I'd also start looking at the mac minis/studio/amd jawns with lpddr5

[green marsh]

those have very bad prompt processing speed compared to GPUs ?

[topaz veldt]

You're not running production off of it, the fact you can get 128GB of "VRAM" and it does like 12-20 tps is wild

[patent gorge]

how many tps is usable really depends on your use case

[green marsh]

the issue is that prompt processing is what kills me in my 1080 Ti setup - 300-500 t/s is what is limiting me. And jumping to 128GB Macs is insane jump from ~1300 euros 😄

[topaz veldt]

check out the amd boxes

[patent gorge]

if you're running batch tasks at home or just testing code to be deployed elsewhere, lots of ram and low speed is fine. if you're running something that should actually serve some convenient real-time purpose for you, then... at some point if it's too slow you're just not gonna use it

[green marsh]

i mean 20t/s token generation is fine. prompt processing at 300t/s when context is 60k+...

[green marsh]

home agentic coding is all i do with it, with Qwen3.5 models

[topaz veldt]

Yeah I think a 48-128GB mac mini has more utility than a B70 pro, so I always tend to go that way

[patent gorge]

ah, I haven't tried doing coding with a local model, but I run a local model for a bunch of other things - autocaptioning, translation, OCR. image gen I've played around with it for fun but can't really find a good local use for it

[green marsh]

i mean luckily i can try m4 24GB at work

[topaz veldt]

little smol but yeah

[green marsh]

for speed comparison test

[devout ridge]

working on switching from those stupid cables to jumper wires

[patent gorge]

can't really figure out how fast the big models you'd run on 128gb is from that I guess, but might get some relative comparison

lots of ram makes it tempting to run big models, and then you realize the big models are much slower...

[green marsh]

only model which would make sense in that memory range is Qwen3.5-122B-A10B (~65GB in Q4 quantization)

[green marsh]

indeed, i can run that model on 128GB RAM, but it's slow as hell.

[patent gorge]

yea I haven't bothered trying models that big. I just run like 30b models in bf16/fp16 instead

[turbid locust]

lmao

[green marsh]

right now on 2x1080Ti i run Qwen3.5-35B-A3B in IQ4 quant

[patent gorge]

I run that model for OCR and translation

OCR is an annoying thing because the model likes to get into loops and then you have to retry or split up image to try again. and loops make the task take forever since it makes it always hit the max token limit

[green marsh]

for translation you might want to try Gemma4; but yeah, all i want is faster prompt processing pretty much, so instead of ~50 seconds for 25k initial claude prompt i would get 15-20 seconds

[patent gorge]

oh yea I just made a gemma4 version a few days ago too, seems pretty good so far

haven't tested if it hits loops as often as qwen3.5 did

[topaz veldt]

I wish I could feed the audio from my security camera through a real time translation spanish -> english so I coudl figure out what the worker dudes are yelling about lol

[patent gorge]

well that's super easy because openai whisper model automagically translates as well, I'm not even sure you can turn it off lol

[green marsh]

the worst part for those worker dudes are when you understand them. When my brother was buying his apartment, he was talking in Slovak with the representative of the seller, was listing the issues, the workers here were commenting in Hungarian, not knowing that is his native language 😄

[merry stirrup]

explosion

[topaz veldt]

I am not even outside but every now and then I can't tell if they are fighting or joking

[green marsh]

you can do audio processing https://huggingface.co/google/gemma-4-E4B

Audio (E2B and E4B only) – Automatic speech recognition (ASR) and speech-to-translated-text translation across multiple languages.

[topaz veldt]

Yah the prob is i dunno how to get it out of Synology Surveillance Station.. and, there's a good amount of wind noise, etc.

[turbid locust]

Guys they leaked the Linux source code today

[devout ridge]

am i supposed to be excited or upset

or just whelmed

[frank zealot]

very whelmed

[gentle urchin]

I'm out of hard drive space on my main device(phone), wonder if you can run a RAM Disk Drive on Android

[frank zealot]

....

dude, what

[green marsh]

https://www.layer2computers.com/wiki/download-video-from-synology-surveillance-station-monitor ?

[green marsh]

clean out your storage dude

[gentle urchin]

0 Byte free space

[young void]

G drive will give you a free 15gb for you videos

Temporary solutions

[odd sable]

have you considered deleting some things?

and/or transferring them to another device

[frank zealot]

31GB of downloads.
Clean that shit up

[young void]

I recently backed up like 5 phones to a hdd+backup

[green marsh]

134GB of images

[young void]

Years of photos and holidays and such

Things to leave after I perish

[green marsh]

you need all that on phone all the time ?

[frank zealot]

If you've filled a 256gb phone, what you gonna get from adding 4gb of RAMDisk?

[young void]

Nope thats why their backed up can now reset the phones and usem as needed

[green marsh]

do that have to be on the phone, instead of let's say a backup, on server and stuff ?

[young void]

I just copied it all over for safe keeping is all

Each phone had diffrent pictures and such from over the years* well and my wifes*

So now if I plugged my hdd in it could be a server if I wanted it to or nas

[devout ridge]

finished the rewire

so much tidier

now we see if the LEDs blow up cause i’m running them at 4x the rated voltage

3v LEDs running of a 12v power supply

[young void]

Toss a resistor between?

[devout ridge]

Yep, that’s what i did and they’re doing fine

just making sure i added a big enough resistor that they last long term

[young void]

I forget how to read the lines been awhile

[devout ridge]

I have no idea, i just follow the labels in the containers i have

470ohm resistor

[cosmic gazelle]

@merry stirrup will this help me tune my ram

[devout ridge]

yes, will let you OC to 69420mt/s

[cosmic gazelle]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-maximum-power-power-spongebob-squarepants-full-power-gif-22777727

[devout ridge]

is the issue with running higher voltage just the increased wattage?

and that’s why adding a lil resistor makes it run just fine?

[young void]

Wattage and heat, easy to pop unless there's a resistor or insulated/at a gauge that isnt going to melt/burn and depends on materials so always want to be within the circuits components threshholds. I'm also super rusty. To much resistance and the signal can be weakened or controlled sometimes depending what one's doing. Anyone feel free to correct i dont do electric often

[devout ridge]

lol a regular fell for the scam

[young void]

Minecraft is a good example of this with its spaces of how far Redstone traveles with x loss and how you can change it with comparitors and repeaters

Same same but diffrent

[topaz veldt]

for sure - but I want to do it real time lol

[topaz veldt]

v=ir

its not a voltage thing as much as it is a current thing

they are current-limiting resistors

voltage is a constant input

[devout ridge]

so by increasing resistance, i decrease current, meaning less power running through the diode

[topaz veldt]

yup

and at scale, the heat goes somewhere - where does the heat go?

into the resistor

[devout ridge]

That’s kinda what i meant, but with more exact terms

[topaz veldt]

thats why resistors have a watt rating

[young void]

One of the first checks if your circuit poops

[devout ridge]

i’m running the LEDs continuously while i’m nearby to see if i have any issues

the resistors are warm to the touch, but nothing crazy

[topaz veldt]

you won't have issues there

[young void]

They can last forever xD ive seen some super old ones

[topaz veldt]

You're likely using 1/4-1/2W

[devout ridge]

bit hard to tell without a size reference, but i believe they are 1/4w

[topaz veldt]

you need the spec sheet

12v w/ 470 ohm should be on a 1/2w probably

1/4w will work for a long time

[pure garnet]

@merry stirrup my buddy offered to trade me his 5800x3d/board/ram/3080 for my 7800x3d/mpower/a die

[topaz veldt]

lol

[pure garnet]

ddr5 prices cooked

[topaz veldt]

This won't have wattage though

[cosmic gazelle]

https://tenor.com/view/deal-damn-good-deal-good-deal-id-make-that-deal-gif-27676387

[topaz veldt]

wattage is size alone

[devout ridge]

Yeah they're 1/4w

[pure garnet]

it’s tempting ngl

[young void]

Just dropping for future refs ❤️

[topaz veldt]

Back in the day I ran low imedence (low ohm) fuel injectoirs on an ECU that needed high ohm. I had to use these ridiculous resistors to simulate the load

[young void]

If it works

[devout ridge]

Yeah the resistor should be seeing about .3w, so a bit above what the resistors are rated for

[topaz veldt]

smash em against a piece of aluminum or somethin lol

[devout ridge]

Not really a big concern for this little mockup, it was more so a proof of concept

[topaz veldt]

if you leave the legs long on through hole resistors you can let them hit a housing/etc.

yah

[devout ridge]

For 1/4w i should be running at least 560ohm

That pushes it to .257w

[topaz veldt]

yeah they will be like slightly dimmer

[young void]

Lil heatsink for it

[cosmic gazelle]

alright man i’ll set trfc to auto damn

[topaz veldt]

really you target the resistor around the milli-amp rating of the diode

[cosmic gazelle]

stupidass memory

[devout ridge]

20mA LEDs

600ohm would actually be what's expected

I'm running them at quite a bit higher amperage than they're rated

[topaz veldt]

are they on constantly

[devout ridge]

Have been for about 15 minutes now

[topaz veldt]

i mean by design

[devout ridge]

Honestly i'm just messing about with it, there is no real design

[topaz veldt]

yup

[devout ridge]

Ideally i would be able to run them continuously though

[topaz veldt]

its all about duty cycle

[warm urchin]

heh, doody cycle

[topaz veldt]

if the led is lit 50% of the time the you can get away with higher current

20%, even more, etc.

[devout ridge]

Is the issue heat? the LEDs themselves aren't even warm

[topaz veldt]

yes the diode breaks down

[devout ridge]

The diode underneath the little plastic cover

[topaz veldt]

inside the little bulb

[devout ridge]

yeah

[topaz veldt]

they basically have low/no resistance so you feed them current and they just eat it

until they thermally self destruct

[devout ridge]

The little relays i'm using are rated for 12v 3A, so they would indeed cook the LEDs if left without a resistor

[topaz veldt]

well no that just means the relay is rated for 3A

it doesn't supply 3A

it supports a load of 3A

[devout ridge]

So it's that above 3a bad things happen, not that above 3a can never happen

[topaz veldt]

oh yeah if you put a 12v battery in line with a 12AWG cable and involve that resistor to say a car headlight bulb, the relay will melt

[devout ridge]

Good to know

[topaz veldt]

and most people use relays as switches

so the duty cycle is high

[devout ridge]

Yeah it's a little wireless relay with a remote

[topaz veldt]

There are cases where you can cheat if you are pulsing a relay (almost like a transistor)

@devout ridge is it a mechanical relay

[young void]

https://tenor.com/view/circuits-pcb-circuit-electronics-embedded-systems-gif-25396829

[devout ridge]

Looks solid state, the documentation is kind of nonexistent though

[topaz veldt]

is it on that board

little tiny jawn

[devout ridge]

Yeah, those little PCBs in the background

[topaz veldt]

yeah those are solid state

[devout ridge]

Each board is a single relay, running it so i can control each LED separately

[topaz veldt]

That is the actually switching device

since its dc to dc it might actually just be a transistor

and them calling it a "relay board" or something

[devout ridge]

mailman just delivered this bad boy

USB to DMX

great for testing things

[pallid marsh]

No 1080p?!

[green marsh]

not just that, but why is there a 'location restriction' on twtich ?

[pallid marsh]

Maybe if you are too far from a server?

[green marsh]

nah, they geofenced it https://help.twitch.tv/s/article/stream-quality?language=en_US#regions

if i was 10 km to the west, i would get 4k NASA stream. This way, i only get 720p

[vestal granite]

maybe something something large amounts of bandwidth needs to be contracted weirdly

[pallid marsh]

Regions that currently have 2k >viewing< access include: damn even the watchers are locked out

[vestal granite]

since theyre also owned by AWS/amazon, amazon probly manages to cut a lot of costs with being very careful about how they route a lot of their traffic in areas with weird routing and whatnot

[cosmic gazelle]

yall wish you were as cool as me

[pallid marsh]

Ew SueTendo

[turbid locust]

@topaz veldt but my 270K

[indigo walrus]

I've the same medal. Along with too many others. 😅

[topaz veldt]

wassup

[turbid locust]

I meant buy lol

[topaz veldt]

Oh - nah

[turbid locust]

[topaz veldt]

I am back on track brother

@turbid locust try and find a 270K on amazon

shit, newegg too

[turbid locust]

Buy mine sell yours, better bin

[pallid marsh]

@low sorrel Nuclear Thunder
SPAAs now have limited ammo and do rearm.

[topaz veldt]

how mauch

and how far did you degrade it

[turbid locust]

retail and not degraded at all I kept voltage limits on

[topaz veldt]

what are your SPs again and how did memory OC go

[turbid locust]

97P 93E 63MC, mem went about the same as you. I think it’s an Apex thing atp.

[topaz veldt]

hmmmm

[turbid locust]

I just kind of want it to go to an enthusiast rather than returning it

I would be losing money cause I next day shipped it lmfao

[topaz veldt]

why you bailing all together tho

[turbid locust]

Generally just losing interest in Intel and want to spend money on other bullshit lol

[merry stirrup]

that’s better for me ig

[topaz veldt]

thats literally the crossroads I am at

well if you still want the mpower it’s yours

[merry stirrup]

nice rig

[high mirage]

Local surplus has two FIREEYE MGMT DEVICE HW-CM 740s for 350USD. 128gb RAM per machine. Worth getting and slapping linux on?

[topaz veldt]

9950X3D2 is coming out in bit its like do I dump more money in a platform that annoys the fuck out of me

[merry stirrup]

i would like it however it’s not super deep’s

[turbid locust]

It’s kind of on brand for you to have a rig you hate LOL

i was gonna buy the same 3080 with the us dollars from you buying the mpower + cpu

[merry stirrup]

intel btw

[topaz veldt]

It used to be AMD dude

[topaz veldt]

you are better than this

yeah. i didn’t build it

[turbid locust]

AM4 and AM5 never gave me a single issue

[merry stirrup]

okie

ram is hard for me but my mom has a ds3h wifi

so even with a 5800x3d it’s not optimal

Oh SHIT

[devout ridge]

what am i looking at

[merry stirrup]

so

[patent gorge]

🤔 I had 1700 and then 3900X and then 5950X. only real issue was that 1700 didn't wanna allow ram speed over 2933mhz

[merry stirrup]

my 3700x on my b550i was horrid

lol cmos reset for the fix

or yeah blew something up

[young void]

If the gpu ram and ssd survived thoughh, would be nice

[pure garnet]

i’d be more surprised if the board supported overclocking

i think the dude tried to flash john’s bios editor tool and broke it

this is also oddly tempting...

dawg this website is not real who’s buying this

[brave panther]

HP zbook dock spotted

[cosmic gazelle]

i like shopgoodwill because it supplies my stupid tech projects

but good lord is there some stupidly priced shit on here

[pure garnet]

bro i paid $375 for my m1

[vale cosmos]

it's a bad website tbh. i still buy stuff sometimes but it hurts knowing they got it all for free

it's shocking how much some things sell for

[pure garnet]

shipping looks awful on all of the listings i've seen

[vale cosmos]

part of me wonders if they have employees of the stores bid up

[vale cosmos]

i'd say about 90% of the things i've bought have been more on shipping + handling than the item itself lol

[pure garnet]

like why am i paying $12 shipping on a $10 keyboard with no bids shipping an hour from my house

[indigo walrus]

Likely because it costs that much to ship the item? Even the lightest of keyboards usually end up being 2-3 lbs after packaging, and at least the length and width and height of a keyboard, and last I checked, postal carriers charge $X.xx for their services so...

[vale cosmos]

it was like $80 to ship a pool cue 😭

across a state

[pure garnet]

i've shipped 20 pound boxes for the same rate they're asking for feathers

[indigo walrus]

Oof. That seems a bit much, but... maybe the carrier they use an algorithm that's heavily weighted to calculate based on longest dimension.

[pure garnet]

shipping my gpu from the southeast us to Vancouver was 20 bucks

[vale cosmos]

oops should've clarified this was using fedex when my roommates mom shipped him one lol

[indigo walrus]

Ah yep. That will be why. Don't get me wrong; FedEx, UPS, and DHL can be good at what they do, but they're expensive for everyday normal people who don't have active shipping contracts through their business departments.

[pure garnet]

i know not every company has amazon logistics but

damn amazon logistics is so good

free shipping on basically anything you'd want

[vale cosmos]

very true

[indigo walrus]

It's not free. 😉 Shipping is calculated into the cost of the product, and is only "free" for you / super cheap for Amazon because of the sheer volume of items they ship. Free shipping is like how "free" cellphones exist.

[vale cosmos]

i hate fedex though (how did they deliver an tariff invoice before they could tell me where the item was located 😭😭)

ive gotten their “1 cent shipping” on most of the stuff they list

[trim agate]

whats mountain time surely you arent working in a mountain

[cosmic gazelle]

but they have to choose to list it that way

[cosmic gazelle]

i made an account for this only to find out that they typically get the exact same discount that ebay gives you so it’s more convenient to just go thru ebay lmao

@pure garnet i sold a proprietary hp power supply for a post fee and shipping profit of 17 bucks lol

not bad for a useless pile of rust

i know, i was fishing

heheh

[teal orbit]

there is cheaper but no guarantee its good

[muted matrix]

the problem is i have to buy in terms of vdev for any big growth unless i was to just buy a replacement, so i'm stuck with the 960gbs

yea..true. and his stuff has worked like a charm in my power edge

[devout ridge]

truenas?

[muted matrix]

ideally i'd pick up 5 x 1.92tb

proxmox 😄

[devout ridge]

storage arrays through proxmox…?

[muted matrix]

yeah

[devout ridge]

i hate it

[muted matrix]

not specifically truenas but other stuff, as well as ai projects. and emby/immich

[teal orbit]

I'm in the exact same situation, wanting to replace my old NAS with a freebsd zfs system, but zfs expansion doesn't seem mature enough and not sure how many drives wide I should do

[muted matrix]

yea i know its 'possible' with latest zfs BUT i wont try it on my critical stuff heh

zfs guys, we like being complicated and over the top

[teal orbit]

It works but old files will use the old parity ratio and take up more space, and also the free space accounting will be wrong (but still converge to zero at least)

[muted matrix]

the thing that drives me bonkers in proxmox is the non uniform use of GiB vs GB

[devout ridge]

i haven’t heard of any major issues with the ZFS expansion feature

[devout ridge]

truenas does it to, get used to it

[muted matrix]

me neither, but i also don't know enough people who've relaly done it for important stuff

[muted matrix]

literally impacts my effin provisoining

[teal orbit]

I think it's just too new

[devout ridge]

it came out a couple months ago now iirc

[muted matrix]

if it was catastrophic, we'd probably of heard of it by now though heh

[teal orbit]

A couple months is brand new

that thing took years to implement it seems

[muted matrix]

that does bring me to a good point to consider. even if i was literally given a complete replacement of my array with 2x dense drives. how would i cleanly work into it? i can't add it. i'd have to replace

i have a 7 wide 2 deep raidz2

all 960gb sas ssds

[teal orbit]

If you're just replacing drives with larger ones? Or adding new ones to make the array wider

[muted matrix]

ideally to upgrade. financially at the time i was bound to those 960s

but...i could step into it, but i figure i want the path of least resistance. would it be a resilver?

[teal orbit]

You can replace all the drives with larger ones to get more space, that works already

[muted matrix]

like upgrade half, resilver, upgrade other half, resilver, then fully new drives on vdev?

[teal orbit]

2 deep.. is that like each of the 7 vdevs being a mirror of two drives?

[muted matrix]

i have backups im u ltra paranoid

yeah..

[devout ridge]

wait what

[teal orbit]

Interesting

[devout ridge]

it’s not two vdevs, 7 wide in raidz2?

[teal orbit]

oh that's the opposite of what I said

[muted matrix]

did i say it wrong

[devout ridge]

oh so it is the thing i said

[teal orbit]

Yeah

[devout ridge]

no you said it right, people just often times don’t say it like that

they usually just say “2 vdevs” instead of 2 deep, even though both are correct ways of saying it

[muted matrix]

myb. so yeah 14 drives 960gb, i have 1.84tb usable

i did it this way to have more failure potential per vdev

[teal orbit]

Huh I should think you have a little more than 1.84T usable

[muted matrix]

oh wait hold on lol

that was my sas hdd array. about 11.84tb usable lol

sas ssd is

that is the one that's 1.84tb available after all the zfs overhead

[teal orbit]

Hold on how does the zfs structure work, is it a stripe of two mirrors?

[muted matrix]

yes, you cant do it this way though in the ui

it shows up in ui correct after but gotta use cl

so i can lose complete mirror 0 or mirror 1

but other pools i am just a 2 disk mirror

so i just double my resiliency at the expense of space

the spare is kinda a waste, it really only does something IF the array is marked bad. but i had 5 and really didnt have a use for it

ideally i would immediately take action if i got a notification

[topaz veldt]

that config above is "raid 10"

oh wait, yeah no that setup is ... not ideal

wait no its not, thats ordinary

You can do that in the UI, I do it

I love how YouTube insists on making their platform shittier

[arctic bronze]

recent ui changes made it shittier

[turbid locust]

You have to sign into YouTube on the TV to control it with your phone now

[merry stirrup]

how would you bin 100 dimms of h24m

i need to layout my spread sheet i think im gonna start staying late

[turbid locust]

probably bin for whatever the 8000 equivalent of 6000c26

[trim agate]

Thought it would just sign in from your phone?

[brisk jolt]

nah lets make ur life harder

[merry stirrup]

okay, & just low volts?

[turbid locust]

Probably bin for tRCD as well

[merry stirrup]

should. i just target a voltage for kits to hit and if so they get retested?

idk can you find info on god trcd/tcl at reasonable volts for h24?

like it would be optimal if i’m just setting something then putting sticks in & seeing if it at least posts on settings that id kinda care about

then find out at least the initial rejects cause binning 100 kits individually is going to suck

[rigid veldt]

lol what

[arctic bronze]

This is you, How is Ed and Edd doing?

[rigid veldt]

Does it matter what type of 1tb ssd i get

[arctic bronze]

yes

[rigid veldt]

Like what

Is the first one fine

[arctic bronze]

its ok

nothing special about it

but yes its fine

as long as you have an available m.2 slot

[rigid veldt]

So it’ll work?

Can I send my spec list here once I finish

[arctic bronze]

yeah

[rigid veldt]

And can u tell me if anything’s wrong

[arctic bronze]

sure

[brisk jolt]

i found a msrp 270k and still no z890i so nah

[arctic bronze]

oh

all I read was first lan party

[minor herald]

kind of ass

[arctic bronze]

you have 2 air coolers

[rigid veldt]

Ram was outa stock and I haven’t decided on a case

Shit mb forgot to get rid of one

So thoughts fyi it’s in aud

[arctic bronze]

but yeah those all work

[rigid veldt]

Is it a decent build for the price

[arctic bronze]

you can prob get a cheaper cooler tho

[random flame]

Oh damn, they're both good too.

[rigid veldt]

Okay

[arctic bronze]

look fore these 2 on ur website:

https://a.co/d/0aIIq02Q

https://a.co/d/03hVU1ZQ

[brisk jolt]

one for the cpu the other for the vrms so he can disable vrm throttling

[arctic bronze]

they both perform great if you find that they are cheaper, they are cheap in USD so i was wondering for you

[rigid veldt]

And I’m gonna get the graphic card for my birthday will u intergrated work for light YouTube and gaming use

[arctic bronze]

https://tenor.com/view/bornskywalker-dap-me-up-woody-woody-handshake-woody-toy-story-gif-26021440

[random flame]

Yep.

[arctic bronze]

igpu gonna suck ass

[random flame]

Well, depends.

[rigid veldt]

The same price for me

[random flame]

Which cpu were you using again?

[rigid veldt]

Will it run tho

[arctic bronze]

ight

[random flame]

Oh wait, the 9600X.

[rigid veldt]

9600x

[arctic bronze]

what game

[random flame]

Eeehh should be fine... Just turn everything down and if you can mod any game, use only optimization mods. Lol.

[rigid veldt]

Bit of mine craft maybe rblx idk

[arctic bronze]

yeah that should work

[random flame]

Oh Minecraft's easy to make work for that.

[rigid veldt]

Okayyy but will YouTube and maybe Netflix run

[arctic bronze]

yes

[rigid veldt]

Oka thanks

[random flame]

Yeah, those don't care much about the gpu itself unless it's stupid old or something.

So they'll work just fine.

[turbid berry]

They are getting rid of samsung messages😭

[random flame]

Oh yeah, a recommendation for optimization mods for Minecraft to try:

• Concurrent Chunk Management Engine (C2ME)
• Lithium
• Fast IP Ping
• Very Many Players
• Structure Layout Optimizer
• Krypton
• XXL Packets
• ImmediatelyFast
• FerriteCore
• EntityCulling
• And either Sodium or VulkanMod.

[rigid veldt]

Okay thanks

[random flame]

I also recommend using Prism Launcher for managing the game, different versions, modpacks, and more since it would make things way easier to do too. Can even let you get mrpack modpacks from Modrinth without needing their app and such too.

[merry stirrup]

@pure garnet you’re gonna have an entirely new hw inventory 😭💀

[wraith steeple]

Doing more LGR things

[rigid veldt]

Ok but can a micro atx motherboard fit in a atx case

[random flame]

Should. They usually tend to have the same standoffs.

It will look kinda small in there btw.

Just in case the you in the future keeps looking at it and wondering if it was a good idea.

Just know it will. Lol.

[rigid veldt]

What’s a m-atx motherboard is it is micro atx

@random flame

[pure garnet]

huh

[random flame]

Yes, it's just a shortened name for it.

[merry stirrup]

you’re just buying hw to replace the hw i bought from you realistically

[pure garnet]

oh nah the 980ti is just me wanting to play with gpus

[merry stirrup]

[random flame]

Wait, what did you buy from him actually?

[merry stirrup]

i’m buying his entire inventory deadass

[pure garnet]

bro has bought boards, cpus, gpus, whatever else

[random flame]

Nooo waaiii...

Sounds like a small inventory. Lmao.

[rigid veldt]

gpus cpus boards whatnot

[random flame]

How much exactly do you have?

[rigid veldt]

I’m gonna have to get a micro atx atp

[random flame]

They tend to be, actually.

[pure garnet]

a good amount

[merry stirrup]

Not a huge amount but they go through daily hw about as fast as me

[random flame]

B r u h .

[merry stirrup]

so it’s not small, we swap computers sometimes 2x+ a year

[random flame]

I swear some of y'all who aren't 5nail or Rogue have wild budgets for spend thrifting.

[merry stirrup]

i work for an si and get buying privileges, you know what binning means yeah?

heavily relating to my overclocking

[random flame]

Oh yeah. Damn.

[merry stirrup]

yeah so i’ll be able to buy the best sticks there

not necessarily mine but those r dead stock meaning i get free reign to use for quite a while, so im just gonna buy the best ones

[pure garnet]

[merry stirrup]

[pure garnet]

2 ewaste gpu buyers in tc2 today

i bought a 980ti to kaboom

[cosmic gazelle]

i mean

a gpu that doesn’t even support modern games and a gpu that can arguably still play most things at low enough settings

not quite the same 😂

[cosmic gazelle]

i almost bought an a6-9500 off aliexpress for $8 because i really wouldn’t care if i killed an a series with voltage, but i found a mini hdmi cable elsewhere

so i didn’t need to get it for free shipping

[pure garnet]

mine is only going to be used in 3d mark

[cosmic gazelle]

does the demo version do everything the paid version does? i haven’t used it cuz i didn’t want to pay for it but it looks pretty much the same in the demo

[brisk jolt]

demo only has a few tests

[pure garnet]

you’re forced to watch the demo loops + a few tests only available

[brisk jolt]

actually cant you just alt f4 the demos

it’ll just go straight to the test

[pure garnet]

no it stops the bench

[brisk jolt]

huh for timespy I alt f4’d the demo everytime and it just went straight

[low sorrel]

oh do you not have to watch the demo loop

[pure garnet]

when i tried it stopped the test

[pure garnet]

nah i just turn it off

[cosmic gazelle]

does it have fire strike

i wanna compare my 2400g results to buildzoid

[pure garnet]

if you know where to look you can get 3d mark full for cheap

[brisk jolt]

idk download and find out

[cosmic gazelle]

yeah but i bought multiple useless pieces of ewaste over the last couple days so i gotta stop spending little bits of money all the time lmao

[brisk jolt]

3d mark was on sale for like 5 bucks no

[cosmic gazelle]

it’s $7 in grey market rn but it’s not important enough for me to want to spend $7 rn lmao

[pure garnet]

i wish my ewaste was $13

best deal i could find was $80 shipped but i wanted a 980ti specifically because maxwell was the last gen with user editable vbioses and thats the flagship of that generation

[cosmic gazelle]

my other ewaste was $24 because i wanted a chromebook that doesn’t take a barrel jack (cuz im not buying a proprietary charger) to try mrchromebox on because j find it intriguing

i actually got one that’s listed on ebay for like 60 so not a bad deal

obviously it’s not worth 60 but you get what i’m saying

[pure garnet]

compared to market rn i did okay but

gpu prices are just wack

[cosmic gazelle]

thing has 4gb of ram and a celeron n4000 which like

i’ve ran windows 11 on worse than that

[pure garnet]

i was considering rx580 and 780ti but neither were substantially cheaper to justify it

rx 580 was only $10 less for 15% slower performance

[cosmic gazelle]

honestly as my 580 has sat idk how much i love it only because it sits in this weird zone where all modern games run like shit and all older games run maxed out

and it’s also an extremely bad bin

[pure garnet]

i’m gonna try and 3d print something like this on campus when it comes time to kaboom it

https://ebay.us/m/tZ8Z75

[pure garnet]

[cosmic gazelle]

or custom cases for proprietary hp motherboards too

[pure garnet]

they also had a cnc but

i have a 48”x96” one at work so why bother with theirs

How many NVL 52c can you fit in 1U

[brave panther]

prob needs to be bumped to 2u

[hoary hatch]

Ooo

Is Qualcomm selling the X2E with ram as a package?

[wise bear]

imagine if qualcomm bought broadcom

[brave panther]

yes

[hoary hatch]

Are they just taking the piss on margins to get some market share
48GB Asus laptop for $1600 ain't bad

[wise bear]

and made broadcom less sucky

[brave panther]

its on package ram

[hoary hatch]

Imagine if Intel fabbed lunar lake in house and had their own memory fab

Could have bought so much market share

[atomic garnet]

the snapdragon x2 elite or the snapdragon x2 elite

[wise bear]

and price stability

[brave panther]

optane 🤤

[wise bear]

YEAH bring back consumer optane

A literal forever drive

[brave panther]

consumer optane sucked ass
16-32gb

you can still get it on ebay for few bucks

[wise bear]

ok but bring it back with bigger quantities

...quantitties

hehehehe

[hoary hatch]

It was a solid concept
But I don't think Intel expected nand pricing to drop so dramatically so quickly

[brave panther]

market it to gpus, direct storage on gpu itself

[hoary hatch]

When it was in the works SSD was still relatively expensive, but by the time consumer optane came to market, QLC was dramatically shaking up pricing

[topaz veldt]

This shit is sick

[hoary hatch]

Actually I think one of the best uses was the Intel SSDs, like 1-2TB QLC and with 32GB of optane on board

[wise bear]

eh

can I just get a nondescript acetal block

[topaz veldt]

of course

[wise bear]

oh slay

[wise bear]

see that's more my style

[topaz veldt]

spray paint the nickel mounts

[wise bear]

or get them gunmetal blued

[brave panther]

yep that is not too bad of a usecase

[wise bear]

wait can you blue nickel

[topaz veldt]

no

[wise bear]

darn

[topaz veldt]

you can "blue nickel" plate something

but you can't "blue" nickel

[wise bear]

no like gunsmith blueing

[brave panther]

but if only optane was directly accessable by ssd controller and not directly exposed to host like their m.2 implementation was
it was basically 2 lane to qlc and 2 lanes to optane

[topaz veldt]

well its copper underneath

you can't blue copper

[wise bear]

..copper mounting brackets?

[topaz veldt]

oh those are stainless

[wise bear]

can I blue those

[topaz veldt]

bluing is just like what.... black oxide? can't be stainless

[wise bear]

FUCK

[topaz veldt]

i think it needs to be "steel"

I am not sure though

[wise bear]

Why's more pc stuff not cerakoted

or idk, FDE

[topaz veldt]

because its an insulator

cases can be

but it doesn't really do anything for parts

[wise bear]

Noo I'm meaning like, chassis or motherboard covers, or gpu backplates

[pure garnet]

i knew 1080ti "rt" was awful but wtf, ln2 for 15fps

[wise bear]

Talkin' about looks, not cooling potential lol

[topaz veldt]

cerakote is a durability thing

[wise bear]

It still looks neat!

[topaz veldt]

it looks like satin paint

[wise bear]

Man you're not letting me have anything this morning

:(

[topaz veldt]

lol i dunno i am not a cerakote guy by any means

what sprays wet and cures at like 150 deg?

paint

[brave panther]

sputter titanium on it, then electro oxidise it to get whatever color you want

[wise bear]

[topaz veldt]

why not just plasma cut it out of titanium

[wise bear]

blued titanium sputter would look cool on copper tbh

[brave panther]

https://youtu.be/Cyu7etM-0Ko

[wise bear]

OH I thought it was the method where you blast metal powders onto another metal

literally just continual dragons breath

I think ave or abom did a vid or several on it

I know that alex damascus guy did a vid on it

[topaz veldt]

look at alusil coating

[wise bear]

Oooh

[brisk jolt]

i wanna go sleep but im still fuckin fuming

[wise bear]

so have a fumey sleep

[brave panther]

that is metalisation not sputtering

[wise bear]

ahh

[brave panther]

sputtering deposits atoms

[topaz veldt]

This reminded me to check inventory

[wise bear]

hot (literally)

[brave panther]

metalisation deposits many hundreds of atoms

[topaz veldt]

I just ordered this

[wise bear]

👀

now THATS what I like

[devout oxide]

my friend is building his pc and his motherboard didnt come with the m.2 screw

any workarounds for that

[wise bear]

you can order replacement sets for literally $2 on amazon

[topaz veldt]

yeah good to have on hand

or if you can, just use the heatsink to hold it down

[devout oxide]

will the heatsink cool well without a screw?

[wise bear]

"m2 replacement screw set" is what you search on amazon

[wise bear]

as long as its making decent contect, yes

some is better than none

[devout oxide]

okay we'll try that

until the screws come

[wise bear]

trust they're cheap as dirt

[devout oxide]

yeah ik but he wants to use his pc today

[wise bear]

i mean he can

just make sure the heatsink for the drive has at least a screw in it if it's not a retainer clip system

[devout oxide]

yeah its 2 screws

how to land on the mun

[steel stream]

rocket

[low sorrel]

i accidentally time warp rocket into mun

[steel stream]

SOL

[green marsh]

i gave up on Kerbal space program when my parachute deployed while rocket was at full blast 😄

[brave panther]

classic staging sequence failoure

[green marsh]

(yeah, i gave it a bit of time, but not much, have better things to do)

[wise bear]

hahahahaha

oh god I remember fucking up all sorts of flights w/ the parachute staging

p a i n

Just sitting there making gutteral noises of frustration as you release the boosters and go for the main engine only for the chutes to rip off the cabin in atmosphere

[brave panther]

i never found staging difficult

SHIT

I ACCIDENTALLY DECOUPLED IT

bro is stuck in space now

[steel stream]

[brave panther]

you can probably eva, go to highest point in orbit, burn your jetpack a bit untill you get 69900m lowest orbit and wait

[low sorrel]

the revert to launch button

[brave panther]

spining jeb will decrease heating on him allowing him to survive re entry

[low sorrel]

shit

[steel stream]

Jebediah will not be going home today

[brave panther]

he can still make it

[low sorrel]

I timewarped into the ground

rip jeb

[hoary hatch]

IT is incompetent

They created a sign up forum that couldn't be contained

• users can arbitrarily overwrite someone's slot with their own name
• users can arbitrarily add their own slot for a duplicate time

So even though I was the first person to sign up for 11am today, 2 other people overwrote my slot, and 5 other people decided to create their own 11am slot

On top of that, they are way behind on setting up new laptops anyways

[cyan canopy]

Royal fuckup? Don't think I have seen that flavour yet, must be a new one.

[steel stream]

god damn that's terrible
