humble full auto cannon at home:

Potato cannon

[brave panther]

it is a bird control cannon , fires a shot at set interval automatically until propane tank is empty lol

[civic reef]

Bird control cannon? Never heard of that

[regal moat]

be me
9060 xt 8gb
50 buck difference pre-AI bloodshed
"oh well im on 1080p anyways, i'll pocket the extra fiddy"

fast forward to last month
get into vr
8gb is now a problem
cries

[cosmic gazelle]

https://tenor.com/view/south-park-i-need-about-tree-diddy-grand-parents-gif-14405237

almost like everyone said not to buy the 8gb versions

[pure garnet]

tbf it’s not like the 9060xt 16gb was going to fare much better in vr

there’s a lot of pixels

[regal moat]

it's not a bad card it's just not priced well

[regal moat]

true

i went with a 6900 xt cause i need a little more oophm

[merry stirrup]

certainly a choice…

[regal moat]

i think it's like a 3090 but affordable cause amd is chopped liver on the used market

[cosmic gazelle]

i wonder if my config on my oc profile was bad because it looks like 4-4-16 is working on the 3000 profile floppa

[regal moat]

why do they still go for this much 😭

[cosmic gazelle]

vram

[pure garnet]

it’s closer to the 3080

the more vram a card has the higher the resale is right now because of the ai stuff

[brave panther]

ai slop

[merry stirrup]

thats not that good

we're talking a card that gets like 16-18k points in time spy vs a card that gets 18-20k in timespy

shoulda just gotten the 9060xt 16 for FSR4

[cosmic gazelle]

i get 67 points in timespy

[regal moat]

okay man wish you told me that sooner

[pure garnet]

floppa i’ll pull your ocf tomorrow

[merry stirrup]

hey man its not my job

[pure garnet]

am i signing that one too

[merry stirrup]

if you wanna

[regal moat]

im gonna toss and turn at night thinking about those synthetic benchmark scores i'm missing out on

[pure garnet]

writing “dogshit” right in the memory sticker

[merry stirrup]

im saying that the 6900xt is hardly faster, to the point where you shoulda just gotten the 16GB model of a 9060xt

because the technologies it has are probably going to better suit you

along with driver support and power consumption, etc

250

[pure garnet]

i want to buy a 2080ti to blow up

blaming floppa for this

[merry stirrup]

worth

[regal moat]

unless the benchmarks i was looking at were dishonest, it looks like a 10-25% uplift depending on the game

sometimes it does perform close to a 9060xt tho

[merry stirrup]

shit ram but its ok

[brave panther]

1080?

[merry stirrup]

1070, so meh

but for 250$ thats a good computer

ill pick it up for a homie i reckon and sell it for what i paid

[brave panther]

yo this guy has ram, get him

[regal moat]

onlything i worry bout is the power consumption cause it's 100-150 watts more which will suck in the summer

[brave panther]

is that like 6th gen build?

[merry stirrup]

its a 5500

[merry stirrup]

.

[brave panther]

ah

[merry stirrup]

for 250 it is quite good and my friend could really use a better computer

[brave panther]

yea not bad

considering ITX tax™

[cosmic gazelle]

i’m pretty sure 1.2v is gonna give me lower latency than 1.35

this is so stupid

[primal marlin]

anyone here having issues with all monitors going black?

It really looks like they put proper thought and time into it ;W;

[smoky orbit]

why so much??

qwq

[civic reef]

I need to give that poor lad a hug and turn that listed PC into a high end ITX build that he can enjoy

[smoky orbit]

yesssss

[civic reef]

New CPU, matching colour AIO, more storage..

And a long long hug

[pure garnet]

gotta cop

bare minimum processor for vidya games

@steel stream @edgy laurel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IbcFjyXnrhw
the 48" LG C6 uses a RGWB Tandem panel

48 inch users get a big upgrade this year, but it looks like 42" gentlemen are screwed again

[pure garnet]

just gotta get a bigger desk

[turbid locust]

[shell void]

mac has a 42" deep desk so it could actually work comfortably for him

[edgy laurel]

Might me time for a 48 and a wall mount

[pure garnet]

mac games at a kitchen table

[turbid locust]

not sure I’m interested in going any bigger without a resolution upgrade

42” 4K PPI is already mid

[pure garnet]

if it looks like 27” 1440p at your viewing distance i can’t imagine id enjoy it all

i go from my nice monitor to the stone age second display

[shell void]

it looks better than 27" 1440p on a smaller desk because youre sitting further away and using scaling

[turbid locust]

I mean it looks noticeably sharper at the same distance but it’s still not like crazy yk

[shell void]

[turbid locust]

I have 27” 1440’s to directly compare to on my desk

[shell void]

food for thought while the price slowly drops to a reasonable value by november

[civic reef]

Once again, didn't send as a tiny image :<

[turbid locust]

I’ve genuinely considered doing this btw. I think my dream setup is basically my current but with the displays and speakers wall mounted.

[smoky orbit]

what do you mean? ( I on't have nitro so I have to send screenshots f the emojis qwq)

[edgy laurel]

Only thinking about it to get it as far away as possible

Would give me another 6 inches

Giggity

Maybe 8

[turbid locust]

My C4 isn’t even pushed all the way back on my desk

it’s like 4 inches from the back of the desk

[civic reef]

Usually the images that are like the one you sent embed at the same size as a normal emoji, even if it's an actual send image

In this case though it's a full size low res image </3

[turbid locust]

I could totally get away with 48” but like I said I’m not sure I’m interested in spending another $1,100 on a display for no big resolution jump

[granite dirge]

And what about us 65 inch queens?

[shell void]

65" is the golden child size every year so nothing changes there

[smoky orbit]

yeah, cause those are using a nono technique, I'm just trying to express myself without nitro >.<

[shell void]

42" and 48" TVs have been severely neglected the last few years until this LG C6

well the 42" is still neglected

[turbid locust]

Which is wild because you’d think the yields wouldn’t be that good lol

[civic reef]

Nono technique ?w?

[smoky orbit]

gonna dm you

[young void]

Any of you guys hunting 5090s lately?

Just curious if they do bundles between 2900 and 3300 on newegg/best buy anymore or if its all just 3600-4000 everywhere

[shell void]

im one and done but i look occasionally

the past couple of months it's always been $3600+ from what ive seen online

[young void]

Thatd be 3100 here not bad thanks fam ❤️

[late atlas]

no problem, cheapest NEW one i could find

there are obviously cheaper ones on ebay

actually lmao, no there are not, on ebay they go for £2750+ unless auction

[young void]

Yeah I have a few for 3600 saved but at that rate myte as well get a open box astral oc so choices . Its rough across the board

[shell void]

why do u want another 5090 worm?

[young void]

For the next build im pc less rn

The msi machine and a-sus rig sold, ironically both to AI peeps. so back to hunting for deals but mannn is it hard to find deals on ram and gpus

This what we are cooking with so far (board was 227)(480 for the drive)(125 for the psu)
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/rnXXPf

[smoky orbit]

you better have sold them at a high price

[shell void]

are you going to sell your next PC too, or keep it to use?

[young void]

4500 for the zotac setup, 5k for the msi setup. Next build will go up due to the cost of things

[shell void]

if youre gonna keep it to actually use then a 5080 makes a lot more sense

[young void]

Use then sell probs, been the cycle so I can test new stoofs

[shell void]

i wouldnt mind selling my 5090 for like $4K right now and downgrading to a $1200 5080

[young void]

Came a long way from the 12600k 3070 setup

[young void]

Yeah if it wasn't for resale a 5080 would be suffice, I rocked 4080supers before this gen. was breazyy

[smoky orbit]

youu should get a permanent system, instead of going through them, might be useful

[young void]

I got a laptop but tbh i dont use my pc much outside of testing/benchs/ and UE5

[smoky orbit]

ohhh okiii

[young void]

Good way to make a few extra bucks slowly traded up

[smoky orbit]

yeah, but having a permanent one helps with stability

(your stability, not a system stability)

[shell void]

do u have a laptop or an older pc or something to cope on worm?

[young void]

No worries I got it all backed up on a secondary gen 5 drive. Its no sweat for me

[young void]

Set this up for the misses got for 1300ish then upgraded the drive with disk genius

So it does everything I need inbetween setups , I also backup to the laptop now cause why not

[shell void]

https://klipy.com/gifs/pika-nod-yes

i was going to suggest a base model mac mini if you had nothing

[young void]

I hear really good things, I do one day want to test out some of apples integrated tech

[smoky orbit]

why do the feets look like they are hanging qwq

[young void]

If dude will ship to me its onnn

[shell void]

it's probably a scam listing

[young void]

I mean i could drive over but like ebay money-back garuntee or nada

[pure garnet]

the matrix was 4000 new

no shot that card is real i think mr worm

[young void]

Call to get it is weird I did message to see if he'd post on ebay and link it

[pure garnet]

the matrix is a collectors toy but the vbios is cool

[young void]

While alittle phallic its kinda neat

[pallid marsh]

Smartest?

[young void]

Looks to be an older gentleman, could be scam or hes a goob the world may never know

[smoky orbit]

these have issues with the 12 pin connector place

[young void]

Ill be alright i got clamps

[pallid marsh]

Do you own body armor if so go buy it

[smoky orbit]

people have issues pluging it in

[pallid marsh]

[young void]

After plugin if balanced I wont be worried my 3rd rodeo with 5000 series

[smoky orbit]

yeah, but people were not able to even fully insert it, and they said it was on purpose

but it was dangerous

[pure garnet]

just don’t use a giant cable and you’re fine

[young void]

Tbf im not familiar with that model in specific so maybe

[smoky orbit]

not, the connector itself wasn't fitting, the 12 pin

not even related to the cables

[pure garnet]

yes because the connector on some was too thick

hence don’t use a giant one

[devout oxide]

This is lwk the realtek logo bruh

[young void]

I usually use the 4 8 pins to adapter but this run im going to trust this msi psu 12vpwr

[young void]

Thats legit xD was a fun trinket from alie express was supposed to hold things but it goes top heavy and falls

[devout oxide]

atleast it reminds you of your audio driver

[merry stirrup]

near me btw

[young void]

XD

[merry stirrup]

hoping to pickup an itx pc today

[young void]

If you check it out let me knowww

[young void]

Send picss may it be in perfect order with no flaws

[merry stirrup]

love these types of puters

[young void]

Das Boots good, no weird pulled out USB, she looks like a tight squeeze but im sure you can tame her

What cpu and gpu?

[merry stirrup]

5500 and a 1070

i got plans for the 1070 and the 5500 is gonna be paired with something cheap my buddy can get

250 bones

[pure garnet]

he’s gonna blow up the 1070

[young void]

Heck yeah that'll do

Im curious what your gonna do with the 1070 lol does sound mischievous huh

[merry stirrup]

likely blow it up for scores then give it to a friend

aio is ez on FE

could just keep it myself too cause i got slim pickings for spare gpus

[pure garnet]

says the mf that bought all of mine 😭

[merry stirrup]

no quadro 4K i sold dat and the arc is gone

[pure garnet]

shits dire i got a 6700 xt and a 980ti on retainer and that's it

[merry stirrup]

2070 s went to lil bros rig

[young void]

I have slight buyers remorse on the 3070 ti but itll be a good placeholder

[merry stirrup]

arc is in my server and will not be touched again

[shell void]

are u doing a retro build or somethin?

[merry stirrup]

a homies lil bro*

[pure garnet]

no i bought the card to mess with making my own vbios and that was the top flagship with a user moddable one

pascal onward is just flashing other card models

maxwell and older you can control it yourself

[shell void]

vibecoded vbios for da 980ti

[merry stirrup]

worth more

[pure garnet]

(worth more)

putting worth more in the box of the cheapest one listed is fire

the only thing that's kinda lame is you can't go crazy with the vram because the power delivery on the fe is weak

[pallid marsh]

Poor old 1070 just wants to retire

[pure garnet]

and you can just blow up that part easy

[young void]

In keizer

Dude just messaged another Pic of it says its working but I wont buy w/o testing so if you wanna snag before me ❤️

Or pey*

[pallid marsh]

Damn you're already at 27% at 5pm

[young void]

Ive been in the car for 4 hours watching movies and such

[pallid marsh]

Who are we hiding from

[young void]

XD

[pallid marsh]

Did mum find your piss drawer?

[young void]

Nah just dropping off my daughter at her mom's

Goobers

Its alot of Disney movies and such today we did peppa pig, my oldest still loves muddy puddles

[merry stirrup]

kaboom

[low sorrel]

oof @edgy laurel

[pallid marsh]

Wait you have more than one baby worm?

[low sorrel]

nvidia say my pc too shit to run starfield

[pallid marsh]

I agree with Nvidia

[smoky orbit]

what are your specs?

[pallid marsh]

His is a 5800x and 3060 at 4k

[smoky orbit]

X3 nvidia is just dumb, which 3060 btw?

[pallid marsh]

12gb

But he plays at bloody 4k

[smoky orbit]

nicey

[smoky orbit]

yeah, that's dumb

for that gpu

[pallid marsh]

I've been bullying Jerry to upgrade his damn 3060 when he bought a 4k monitor a few months ago

But instead he bought snowboarding shit

[smoky orbit]

@low sorrel get something better, I swear

[low sorrel]

why does dlss look like dog shit in this game

oh

[smoky orbit]

cause it's on a 3060????????????

[low sorrel]

what

[pallid marsh]

Because it's running at like 20 native fps you cheap fuck

[smoky orbit]

at 4k

[low sorrel]

im at 60

[smoky orbit]

native?

[low sorrel]

fuck no ain't no one plays native

[late atlas]

I do

[pallid marsh]

What's your native fps at 1080p

[smoky orbit]

so you're running at 60 with dlss? no shit it's bad

[late atlas]

I generally try to avoid dlss where I can

[low sorrel]

are you stupid

[smoky orbit]

same, I hate dlss and fsr

[late atlas]

It can be useful but yeah

[young void]

I got 4, fams 3 thats with me and 1 for the weekends and breaks. 2 boys and 2 girls

[low sorrel]

fps has zero corrlation with how dlss looks

[smoky orbit]

no, you are, playing at 4k with a 3060

[low sorrel]

now dlss frame gen

[smoky orbit]

ohhhh, I though you meant it looked bad as in the frame time's/latency

[smoky orbit]

damn, loads of little worms

[late atlas]

Also why is the resolution info like that, like it shows 1080p going to 4k

Are you upscaling from 1080p to 4k or what

[low sorrel]

yes

[young void]

But snip snip cause im doneeee lol

[late atlas]

What the fuck

[pallid marsh]

4 kids in this economy

[young void]

4 is more then enoughhhh

[late atlas]

I can't, I'm going to bed

[low sorrel]

that's completely fine

the newest dlss model recommends you run it at performance

[smoky orbit]

dlss 4.5 or 5?

[low sorrel]

4.5

[smoky orbit]

oh oki

[pallid marsh]

Nvidia site says they are excited to work with star field for dlss5

[smoky orbit]

X3 gonna look like a whole ass different game (not in a good way)

[young void]

Ive yet to try dlss to be honest

Diablo 2 didnt need more frames

[low sorrel]

this is at like 200% zoomed in

can you tell me you really see that much of a difference

[topaz veldt]

Yup

Sonos is sick

[pallid marsh]

Doesn't it though since it has less frames/data to go off of?

[low sorrel]

nein'

[smoky orbit]

this bridge looks like spaghetti

[pallid marsh]

Is the ai lying or the Jerry

[low sorrel]

this bridge is fucking tiny

[smoky orbit]

now it looks straighter

[low sorrel]

yes because your not looking at it zoomed 10x in

[edgy laurel]

what are we doing, Stalker 2 screens? I've got 10GB of them

[low sorrel]

something something nvidia thinks i can't run starfield

why are you using a 3060 at 4k

why are you using dlss performance

[edgy laurel]

git gud

i'm waiting for Plumbo to update Luma mod for the new game update

then i'll give that game another go

[low sorrel]

so thats why hdr looks kinda eh

[edgy laurel]

Yeah, possibly an artistic decision

too busy with this game though

[low sorrel]

what game

[steel stream]

oh fuck

https://tenor.com/view/the-wire-clay-davis-shit-sheeit-isiah-whitlock-jr-gif-20285534

[steel stream]

another banger HDR screenshot

I spent the day finishing up Ghost of Yotei, and got back into playing returnal

[topaz veldt]

@steel stream @shell void its a vibe

[devout ridge]

once my phone turns on hdr mode, it is beautiful

[steel stream]

after it's done loading in line by line right

[steel stream]

fucking sick man, that's awesome

[floral spear]

I wonder which casette tape player i should get

[steel stream]

looks mint 5nail

[floral spear]

You guys think I should get a walkman?

[steel stream]

probably not, but if you are interested in them sure

oh I didn't look at those prices, don't get a walkman lol

[brisk jolt]

@low sorrel did you see lance stroll in I think GT3

bro ended up with 175 seconds penalty

his teammate did even worse with 255 and a pit stop

[low sorrel]

no

[brisk jolt]

that one guy who only got 1 30s penalty must be goin “wtf happened”

they racked up so many penalties they might as well go on a vacation

[devout ridge]

yes ofc

[turbid berry]

Is there any way I can shove a entire rtx 5090 computer into a usb stick without the usb stick becoming a black hole?

[young void]

They tend to supernova

But for awhile if one must

[fringe vigil]

https://tenor.com/view/flint-lockwood-officer-earl-running-cloudy-with-a-chance-of-meatballs-gif-26130263

FLINT LOCKWOOD

[young void]

The usb after a few days of use like ^

[fringe vigil]

the officer chasing me when I break into nvidia to test the 6090

[low sorrel]

Why do much penalty

[brisk jolt]

blue flags and track limits

[dapper anvil]

First time building a pc, what’s the best tutorial video I should follow?

[trim agate]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7MYOpFONCU&pp=ygUVbHR0IHBjIGJ1aWxkIGhlYWQgY2Ft this one's pretty good

[cosmic gazelle]

@pure garnet getting ready to flash mrchromebox on the chromebook from goodwill and man, chromeos has come such a long way

i’m shocked how sleek it is now

obviously still pretty shit but much better than it used to be

like, the thing has a 1080p screen with decent brightness

[edgy laurel]

maybe not.. https://www.avsforum.com/posts/64502924/

[brisk jolt]

the naming scheme haunts all

[turbid locust]

Z890 stuff all sold

and I didn’t lose that much money lol

[swift sphinx]

why did discord give me this lame ahh april fools badge without consent

[shell void]

the 48” C6 that display guy got 100% is

the color gamut measurements that he got would be impossible otherwise

for whatever reason LG just isn’t advertising it

[pure garnet]

if you think about it that just basically means you rented it for cheap

[turbid locust]

exactly

Excluding PayPal and shipping fees I only lost $150 vs what I had in it

[pure garnet]

i’m doing okay on the ocf

z790 is a loss but i didn’t pay money for it so idrc

[turbid locust]

I came down lower than I typically would because dude wanted it all

[pure garnet]

i’m just dumping it to floppa since he wanted it

i bought a 980ti to learn on bc i wanna do some gpu benches

[turbid locust]

I have a fermi card for that but just haven’t gotten around to it yet

[pure garnet]

vbios stuff is infinitely cooler to me rn than like

ram goes from fun to miserable the second i leave 8000ish on am5 or touch intel at all

[turbid locust]

next dumbass hardware purchase will likely be a 9950x

I want to experience dual ccd

I’ve somehow never owned a dual ccd chip

[vestal granite]

dual ccd is, in a way, similar to those cars that have 4 wheel steering

[pure garnet]

i got an offer to do 7800x3d/mpower/my a die kit for a 3080/5800x3d/itx board/unkown ic corsair 3000 xmp kit

[turbid locust]

not worth? imo?

[pure garnet]

i wanted the gpu as a backup originally but i don’t think ampere is super interesting to bench on

i could be wrong

[vestal granite]

trading 2024 ford f150 for 2016 ford f150 and a kayak

[turbid locust]

not at ambient

[pure garnet]

at least benching it without fucking the card up physically yeah

[pure garnet]

fr

it only came up bc i was gonna buy the card from the guy originally

[turbid locust]

If I were to buy any gpu to play with rn it would be a 9070

you can get some fire scaling

[pure garnet]

the maxwell ewaste fulfills my hyperfixation enough

[turbid locust]

I think my 1080 is decent but the cooler is SO ASS lmfao

I need to find one of those third party air coolers they made for Pascal and older

[vestal granite]

is it blower

[turbid locust]

yeah

[vestal granite]

my condolences

[pure garnet]

you can’t user edit the pascal vbios

[vestal granite]

your tinnitus is not service related

[pure garnet]

that’s why i went to unc maxwell

[turbid locust]

I would EVC anyway

wait I gave Floppa my EVC

kek

[pure garnet]

yeah i just really wanted to play with editing my own

i’ve been on a crossflash or gpu modding kick since i threw the master onto my 5070ti

[turbid locust]

I’m going to revisit the Gene soon probably. I really hope I can figure out its quirks and it’s not just blatantly worse for mem vs my mpower LOL

[pure garnet]

i half wish i had the interest to take my spot back from bz but like

my chip is terrible so it’s way higher effort

his sub was just at ambient and i was battling stability issues when above 50c

[turbid locust]

lol I actually haven’t done any proper AM5 benching despite it being most my hardware

tbf the best “OC” board I had for the longest time was the HDV

[pure garnet]

i went ham on 1b and then “retired”

[turbid locust]

I hope the gene holds up for zen 6

[pure garnet]

i think if 8000 is the norm for zen 6 my x670e-e is out of commission but i was swapping it anyway

i want to just do a whole new build when the time comes

[turbid locust]

I will likely leave 9850X3D in the daily and buy zen 6 just to play with unless it’s just a massive performance jump

[pure garnet]

whatever my plans are also depend on getting something decent postgrad

[cosmic gazelle]

hehehe it’s alive

[pure garnet]

but if i’ve moved by then i’ll probably give this system to my roommate

and just build a new system for whatever large cache is faster + a new gpu

[turbid locust]

I may not even bother upgrading depending on the gpu climate

I think 50 series is going to age extremely well with MFG and better DLSS models

Might upgrade if I somehow end up on an 8K display

[shell void]

i’m not expecting the 60 series to have any relevant unique features but i’d love to be wrong

[turbid locust]

I’m expecting the 5090 to age better going into 60 series than the 4090 did going into 50 series

MFG is just… kinda cracked

[shell void]

same because 50 series was a feature update generation

50 series has DP2.1, NVFP4 support for running future DLSS models natively, multi framegen, reflex 2, and neural rendering

60 series will probably just be a performance and vram boost

[turbid locust]

Reflex 2 when

[shell void]

there is no reflex 2

it was a ruse

[young void]

XD

[turbid locust]

I am a reflex enjoyer

Gsync + reflex + global frame cap is just the way

Like I can’t imagine willingly playing games outside of those settings anymore

[turbid locust]

Don’t remind me about my peripheral addiction

[brisk jolt]

the huan also has this as the dongle

[slim pebble]

What was the 30 and 40 series then?

60 series will bring higher clock speeds and a process node change. With the memory situation such a mess I’m not expecting a big increase.

[brisk jolt]

FG, DLSS 3, higher clocks and more efficiency

[turbid locust]

the 30 to 40 series performance jump was way bigger than 40 to 50

like the 4070 Super was competitive with the 3090

The 5080 is still slower than the 4090

The only thing 40 series got over 30 series was frame gen. If there wasn’t a significant performance jump it wouldn’t have been worth it

[brisk jolt]

4090 having a 70% boost over 3090 was bonkers

[low sorrel]

dude why is starfields native hdr so gray

[brisk jolt]

lmao there was this video of someone reacting to another person who spun their miata in 2nd gear

“i was gonna say put them in a prius instead but that thing makes more power”

[cosmic gazelle]

turns out the only possible audio driver for chromebooks running windows is $10 from some random guy, and no one else has posted them anywhere 😭

and i’m not paying $10 for audio on a damn chromebook so linux it is

[green marsh]

@topaz veldt dammit, i will have to spend extra money for individually sleeved type 4 12vhpwr cable because 12v-2x6 is not available 😄

[slim pebble]

Aren’t the two cables the same thing? I thought that the “12V2X6” change was on the GPU socket.

[green marsh]

no, i mean i can't get the 13 euro one because it is not in stock, have to get a 30 euro cable

having to spend extra 17 euros for fancy colors i don't need

[burnt socket]

the melty melty

[topaz veldt]

all of the cables now sho uld be 12v-2x6 - a lot of them don't call it that

@green marsh you can also get cable mod type 4

[topaz veldt]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zyah1VrRWIM

Little late

[green marsh]

it's not about hpwr vs 2x6, it's about the price. 13 -> 29-31 euros :D. Alternatives like Cablemod are also expensive here

🤷‍♂️

[low sorrel]

Hi 🐌

Damn auto correct

No I don't want the damn emoji

[topaz veldt]

[low sorrel]

I sleep now

[brisk jolt]

ok

i just wokeup from a nap

[wraith steeple]

So they're making it glass like how the old XSPC GPU blocks were, eh?

[smoky orbit]

[topaz veldt]

but also who with a 5080 is buying a $600 waterblock in April of 2026

[brisk jolt]

people who are somehow unable to grab a 5090 and copium in their system

[smoky orbit]

People that makes questionable choices

[wraith steeple]

Someone that is not sound of mind

[wise bear]

Hello it me irl

[livid flame]

Last I check you are not a cat.

[livid flame]

Would you accept someone with a 4090 doing this, if they got one used, not OG owner

[green marsh]

5090 do not exist in my country

[brisk jolt]

its still a relevant 90 class card so i dont see why not

[karmic ridge]

guys is it worth buying used evga ftw3 ultra rtx 3090 for 345.17 usd ?

[brisk jolt]

yes

[green marsh]

considering 3090's sell for $1k on ebay, yes ? More so if you plan to use it for AI (due VRAM capacity). Of course only if it actually works

and of course unless it is a scam

[karmic ridge]

yeah i will be will be there with the seller i will try it and stress test it with furmark for at least 15min before buying it

its at local market

[green marsh]

over here for that price you get stuff like 3070, RX6800

[karmic ridge]

if the gpu works with good temps and physically in good condition it will be good deal

[pure garnet]

[gentle urchin]

AMD should include a cooler with their 9950X3D2, come on, it's 899$ before taxx even, jeez

[strong crescent]

it has buyer protection

[green marsh]

they don't include it because then people would be like 'I don't want this stupid air cooler, they should instead sell it for less without cooler"

[brisk jolt]

ah yes my “i was gonna buy an AMG one but I saw gas prices and decided to get a tesla instead” statement I havent used this

[pure garnet]

the guy is on ddr3 and dvi still

[wraith steeple]

AMD K5 is here in MI. Will be here by tomorrow

[brisk jolt]

the cheapest ddr5 i can buy brand new

[green marsh]

meanwhile people here butchering 3090's

[brisk jolt]

deserved for being ampere

[green marsh]

dense LLM model is really loading both of my GPUs. Still nowhere near the need of 1kW PSU i feared 😄

[livid flame]

That 3090 is a beast

[young void]

Looking good

[topaz veldt]

which top you using there

[green marsh]

nvtop if you ask the utility

[cosmic gazelle]

i have submitted to being a chud

[pure garnet]

holy tn panel

[cosmic gazelle]

idk what it is but it’s 1080p and pretty bright for a chromebook

[small gate]

I have a question to all tech nerds, i have a Blackberry 8520 phone, what kind of still commissioned web browsers can i download on this java based phone?

[cosmic gazelle]

while i respect the grind you wouldn’t be able to load like any modern web codecs and stuff on a device that primitive

[analog scroll]

A decent few sites will still work

hmm

[smoky orbit]

A new phone is what you should load tbh, it probably has at least one unpatched Java exploit

[small gate]

i've tried that but i need to get on the internet to do that

[smoky orbit]

Do you have a computer? Or something else? Anything else? qwq

[fervent chasm]

How are you on discord?

[small gate]

i do, currently i have my sim card within my laptop

[smoky orbit]

Yeah, use that to look for a new phone

[fervent chasm]

Walmart has some phones that you get for free and you only need to pay a month or two for the Internet and then it’s unlocked

Something like that

Apparently it’s worth it

[cosmic gazelle]

pretty sure you can just get tracfones for 20 bucks and not activate em

fire

has pro in the name

[steel stream]

@shell void from what I am seeing C6 does ~1300 nits 10% window, not bad

[young void]

Walmart always got a cheap phone for basic use

[shell void]

yeah display guy got excellent results on his 48" sample, but his has a tandem panel

im very curious about the 55" and 65" models that are probably not tandem

it's possible theyll be significantly worse than the 48" model which is interesting

[cosmic gazelle]

for the most part i don’t think there’s any way they force you to connect to cell service

[young void]

Haven't back read, I just know they are the cheapss

[steel stream]

oh damn, guess we gotta wait on more reviews, and probably rtings

[brisk jolt]

https://tenor.com/view/jhb-team-shake-man-standing-blurry-gif-16882497

[shell void]

the 65” C6 measurement data from RTINGS should be up sometime next week

i’m butthurt that the 65” model is probably worse than the 48” model because i wanted to buy a new 65” TV this year

[steel stream]

Consumers never get nice things

unless you're buying a 48" LG C6 apparently

it's an interesting move by LG

I guess it forces people to the C6H

[shell void]

it is quite peculiar, but the 48" model will be a crazy good value if it drops to $900USD later this year like usual

[steel stream]

yeah it'll be the best TV for bedroom/ small living area

i like how on that graph c5 42 is worse than c4

https://tenor.com/view/nothing-ever-happens-chud-chudjak-soyjak-90-seconds-to-nothing-gif-9277709574191520604

[shell void]

the results are more in-line with what you'd expect in-game
(aside from the highlight brightness on the 48" C6 being too low because it's inaccurately reporting its peak brightness to Windows at the moment)

[green marsh]

hm... Gigabyte X299 + i5 7640x... yeah, crappy CPU, but...

(for 90 euros)

[steel stream]

I'll buy a 48" C6 and trim it down to 42" myself

[sharp heart]

whoa

[shell void]

just game on a dining room table like mac

[steel stream]

my poor desk is only 36" deep

[green marsh]

i mean CPU is a dumbn 4 core on X299 platform 😄

[steel stream]

I guess 300 more nits would be nice, but meh

[shell void]

yeah that cpu is completely useless

idk why they did that

you dont get the memory support or pcie lanes of HEDT which is the whole point

[green marsh]

i hate that it is 4 RAM slot board tho

[steel stream]

I'll just wait like 5 more years for the 42" C series to finally have a decent brightness

[shell void]

yeah that should be more like 1400 but it doesn't report itself to Windows correctly

it tells Windows that it's a 4000nit TV and you get stuck with always on tonemapping

new TV buggy??? a tale as old as time

[green marsh]

that board is completely useless. WTF is this crap 😄 https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/X299-AORUS-Gaming-rev-10

[brisk jolt]

okay 4K DLSS performance isnt that bad on the 5060ti but its also not good

[green marsh]

special board for those 2 CPUs ? X299, but actually just Z270 renamed ?

[shell void]

that board looks like it would erupt into flames if you somehow forced it to run a 10980xe

[brisk jolt]

but at least it isnt as abysmal as jerry’s 3060

[green marsh]

it runs none of the actual 2066 CPUs outside of these two

i seen dumb boards, but this one it's on the top

[shell void]

why does this guy have hundreds of X299-Es?

[green marsh]

the name - ewasterenew might be saying why 😄

[steel stream]

every year I see a video from Vincent talking about how the new lg tvs have issues lol

[shell void]

every time brother xd

[brisk jolt]

this looks so weird yet so meta

[shell void]

you have to wait until october or november for the prices to fall and firmware to mature

[steel stream]

death, taxes, and LG releasing a buggy OLED

amen

[steel stream]

my roommates couldn't comprehend why I didn't want to use wifi on the G5 lol

called me a schizo nerd when I explained

[civic reef]

@wise bear You play DCS, right?

[pure garnet]

does the g5 also include a cpu with the performance of a peanut

[shell void]

oh have u never updated it? the g5 did get better with updates

@merry stirrup i didnt know there was a X58 Gene, it's kinda cute when it's full of matching red ram like this
https://www.ebay.com/itm/227241036061

i wonder if this person is including the cpu and ram in that $150 price

[tribal frost]

Hi everyone!
I'm building my first gaming PC my my budget is $185 USD. I’m trying to get the best performance possible for the money. Here is my part list:
CPU/Mobo/RAM: Xeon E5-2670 V3 + X99 Motherboard + 16GB DDR4 (AliExpress Kit)
GPU: Radeon RX 480 8GB (Used)
Cooler: DeepCool AG200
Storage: Patriot P320 256GB NVMe SSD
Case/PSU: ALLX Mid-Tower with included 500W PSU
Monitor: 20" LED (Used)
I’ll be using an HDMI to VGA adapter for the monitor.
Does this look like a solid "Price-to-Performance" build for 2026?

[analog scroll]

hmm

[smoky orbit]

that's very probably a fake x99 board, try to get something like a 6th/7th gen intel cpu mobo combo instead

also, try to find a native hdmi monitor

[pure garnet]

that would not be any better

[turbid locust]

Consider saving more money

And/or buying a used Xbox

[pure garnet]

realistically speaking i’d try and save up more money but if you’re just aiming to play older games you’ll do fine

[smoky orbit]

it's not a hacked bios, and there's more upgradability than an old xeon platform

[pure garnet]

are we deadass on upgrade ability

[analog scroll]

probably

[pure garnet]

you have skylake, and skylake refresh, both of which are extremely old

😭

[analog scroll]

keep in mind they're obvs not gonna be playing newer games

RX 480

[smoky orbit]

they could find a better much more easily then those xeons, (also, pretty sure that ram is gonna be ecc)

[pure garnet]

which further compounds my “wtf” to upgrade ability

[turbid locust]

RX480 can play AAA up to like 2018

[analog scroll]

it isn't a bad card

[pure garnet]

there is no scenario consumer skylake is any less needs to be replace than a xeon with quad channel memory

[analog scroll]

but driver support could be iffy on newer more intensive titles

so they probs don't need a newer cpu

[turbid locust]

I remember when I was testing my 480 it did 1080p 60fps in RDR2 just fine

[pure garnet]

i was able to do like 1080p40 with no fsr in re9 on my 980ti at all low

[smoky orbit]

you don't want ecc ram, especially if you consider using it in any other system afterwards (trust me i've made that error)

[turbid locust]

my vote is still to save mildly more money and buy a used Xbox Series anyway

would be a wildly better gaming experience

[turbid locust]

kek

[pure garnet]

not every xeon needs ecc

[analog scroll]

that xeon does

[smoky orbit]

yeah they do, unless the mobo uses a memory controller on the chipset instead of the one in the cpu

all the lga-2011 xeons uses ecc ram

which this one is

[analog scroll]

might be some thermal issues, that xeon is a 120W chip and has a TJMAX of only 85c

[pure garnet]

staples button dot mp3

[smoky orbit]

ecc isn't necessarily buffered, also the x99 chipset as very probably a memory controller, and the one on aliexpress isn't a real x99 chipset, very probably a hacked, more broadly available, one

[pure garnet]

so does the ryzen 5 1600

[cosmic gazelle]

bro cl16 won’t boot on this ram even at 3000

windows just shids itself

[brisk jolt]

L

[pure garnet]

guess you can't use udimm on ryzen either then

[cosmic gazelle]

everyone knows ryzen only takes ecc idiot

[pure garnet]

waiter!!! waiter!!! my ecc memory: yes 9800x3d is using udimms

[turbid locust]

ECC

[wraith steeple]

[analog scroll]

overall it isn't a horrible build

but it could have some issues

[smoky orbit]

@pure garnet the sellers are very probably using old workstions or servers for these kits, so probably only has ecc ram anyway

[turbid locust]

yk what would be better? An Xbox

[analog scroll]

I mean my i7-7700K + 8gb + 1060 6gb build was only $299CAD (215 USD) and I upgraded my RAM to 16 (2x8gb) for $60CAD during the RAM crisis

[smoky orbit]

even better: waiting and saving more

[analog scroll]

yep

[turbid locust]

eh depends

A $300 used Xbox is a better value than waiting and saving like $1200 to reliably beat it, considering we’re starting at a $185 budget

[pure garnet]

i like that we’ve gone from it has to use ecc to they probably only have ecc

it’s aliexpress they have 90000 kits of udimms lying around lmfao

[smoky orbit]

yeah, that's a very good build (my first one was a dell t3600, e5-2690, 32 gb ecc ddr3, 500 gb sata ssd, and a (unfortunately) 3050 low profile (upgraded the cpu, ram and gpu, was a quadro k2000 before)

[smoky orbit]

not the seller, aliexpress isn't selling, it's a market place

[smoky orbit]

it's an additionnal argument, not a replacement

[wise bear]

ja

[pure garnet]

yo we got vrm fans now

the aliexpress oc board 🔥

[smoky orbit]

I thought the ram brand was “masochist” 😭

[cosmic gazelle]

cant you like

not do anything on those boards lol

why even bother with a fan

[pure garnet]

looks cool

[turbid locust]

probably loud asf

[pure garnet]

iirc they're actually recycled versions of q/b chipsets

[smoky orbit]

Yep, they mostly used hacked bios and spoofed x99 chipset (while using a different, server/workstation one)

[cosmic gazelle]

well the ram is running flat 18s at 3000 and had to run 18-22-20-20 on 3400 so i guess that’s good?

gotta be an imc thing that it can’t ever do 16

[pure garnet]

i’m currently debating if i actually want to put the master back into this case or not rn

[brisk jolt]

my fucking dumbass thought you were referring to a aorus master GPU and not the mobo

using kb/m in dcs is like, awful.

yeah the the old logitech 3d pro is oldddddd

it's still being made btw

they discontinued it for a while and started manufacturing it again recently
windows 11 compatibility is iffy

this is software i had to dig up from the internet graveyard

[wraith steeple]

this is price history but store had additional discount that this price tracker didnt pick up

Yeah I can't even hope to match that price 💔

Best I can do is a $45 PXN

[brave panther]

yea lol, i was also suprised

[civic reef]

Though price seems to have increased since 2024

[brave panther]

i bought it in august 2025

[civic reef]

It's all time low then it seems

[brave panther]

not the first time i hit jackpot

not really, they just released b580 and their stock was shitty performer for some reason

and then came ai nvidia shit and politics which really increased stock

nice little memory

[steel stream]

in space?

like space space?

[fervent chasm]

yes in space space

[final hull]

there was a run of Chinese x99 boards for a while that used genuine x99 chipsets off dead x99 boards, could be one of those. They're new boards with used chipsets

[fervent chasm]

https://www.spaceselfie.com/

mark rober sattelite

we filled it out a loooon time ago and watched the launch

i forgot about the selfie

[smoky orbit]

I have like one question: what are the genuine odds that this one is? Pretty low in my opinion, not really worth the gamble

[final hull]

Not that bad tbh, I know craft computing has showed off several new Chinese boards with old chipsets

[steel stream]

oh neat

[final hull]

They were at ces like 3 years ago I think

[fervent chasm]

i got it for free through tmobile, idk if it is tho normally

[pure garnet]

back on the z890 master

very high ram speeds

[smoky orbit]

Yeah, the fake x99 use old workstations chipset too, just not x99 ones, also it’s a random seller, so not necessarily the one that was at ces

[pure garnet]

(anyone buying an aliex x99 board will not care)

[final hull]

They use the c chipsets too, but my point with the ces people is that it seems to be a lot more common now to reuse old chipsets from popular platforms for new boards

[wraith steeple]

[smoky orbit]

Yeah, but still, at this point instead of trying to find the golden sellers, people should get a mobo with a real chipset

[smoky orbit]

Yes but still, not a great thing encourage

[final hull]

That's easy to say not always easy to do

[pure garnet]

i would gladly take a 5960x on some ali board over a 6700k

[steel stream]

DDR6 leaked speeds

[pure garnet]

fr

[smoky orbit]

Aliexpress is full of 100, 200, 300 “normal consumer” oriented chipset boards, it’s not that hard tbh

[pure garnet]

4800 jedec stock interlinks 265k pairs well with the 980ti

why do we care this much about the chipset on a decade+ old motherboard platform

if the x99 chips work they work

[smoky orbit]

Most of the 100 are flex atx tho (stupid mix of micro atx and atx)

[smoky orbit]

What if, the person buying it ever wants to upgrade the cpu and the bios makers didn’t account for that one, or a bunch of other ones

[pure garnet]

they’d be replacing the whole platform anyway

these are 10+ year old cpus

[smoky orbit]

(Length of the atx boards, but width of micro atx)

[smoky orbit]

Not if they want to use it for a home server

[pure garnet]

if you’re on a 5960x or the several xeons rebranded to be the same cpu

you don’t have an upgrade path that isn’t buying a new platform

[smoky orbit]

Yeah for that socket

[pure garnet]

exactly

[smoky orbit]

But lga 2011 has a ton of options, (each version has their own board tho (v1 v2 v3 v4))

[pure garnet]

you know what else has a lot of options

a job to purchase sockets that aren’t of drinking age

[smoky orbit]

Im working, also for a home server, these are a really great way to get a bunch of cores for cheap

*I have a job, not working rn

[final hull]

Tbf my first build was using a 8 generation old chip at that time, and continued to use that platform for 3 years. I wouldn't write it off on age alone

I built a 3000 series Intel i5 machine in the age of ryzen

[pure garnet]

that doesn’t mean much since half of am4 was haswell tier

[final hull]

Zen 2 wasn't

I didn't switch off that platform until zen 3 dropped

[pure garnet]

but for the length we've talked about the how you need a real x99 for upgrade path you could've just, worked a shift, to buy something newer

[merry stirrup]

my first gaming comkputer was a dell optiplex w/i5 2400 and rx 570 LOL

[smoky orbit]

(my first “build” was a dell t3600, e5-2690, 32 gb ecc ddr3, 500 gb sata ssd, and a (unfortunately) 3050 low profile (upgraded the cpu, ram and gpu, was a quadro k2000 before)

[pure garnet]

hell i got up and swapped the board in my z890 system and put it back together already

[final hull]

That's more for x99 specifically, Chinese boards often get the server chipset for lga2011v3 and sell them as x99 boards which does effect cpu and memory support

[merry stirrup]

but i am not one for the shit computer way

[steel stream]

12700k + 4070 lol

[smoky orbit]

Traded that 3050 for my 6750xt (they absolutely needed a low profile card and didn’t care)

[merry stirrup]

yeah mine was in 2020 i think to give myself some slack

2019?

[steel stream]

mine must have been 2023?

[merry stirrup]

something like that

[steel stream]

I got a late start on the hobby

[pure garnet]

floppa did i miss anything obvious for a low effort intel tune

[final hull]

My first proper build was an i5 3670, 8gb ddr3 1600, an amd r9 270, and 500gb hard drive

[merry stirrup]

12 rrdl

actually 8 its a die

[steel stream]

I was pretty decent with computers, would emulate games and stuff on my laptop, but was a huge playstation guy for a while

[merry stirrup]

i was just poor

[smoky orbit]

Mine was end of 2022

[merry stirrup]

keep in mind 5 years ago is 14 year old flops

[pure garnet]

2600x + vega 56

[merry stirrup]

i want a 1600AF

[steel stream]

yeah I only worked a job in the summer, so buying something like a playstation was a big ask, when I got older I had more money

[final hull]

People actualy bought Vega?

[merry stirrup]

vega is great for budget used

[steel stream]

I built my first computer at 18-19 idk

[pure garnet]

for peanuts years after launch yeah

[final hull]

I knew the miners loved the 56 and 64 but I didn't think gamers really touched them

[pure garnet]

it was considerably faster than an rx 580 for rx 590 money

[merry stirrup]

idk i had plenty of experience and knew a lot, had shittier computers b4 but they werent "mine"

[pure garnet]

so i got one

[merry stirrup]

no real gpu which is what i consider to be "first gaming pc" territory

[steel stream]

my brother built a computer in 2020 as well i think, I just was not interested in it at the time

[merry stirrup]

fair

[smoky orbit]

Mine was at 15 (I’m 19 next month so not that long ago)

[pure garnet]

floppa can i just set tras to like 64

[merry stirrup]

now the turns have tabeled

[pure garnet]

i forget how that thing works on intel

[merry stirrup]

yeah cause hynix op

do like 86 and be safe or something i dont think the 20 ticks is changing much

[pure garnet]

just hit save

[merry stirrup]

and then set tRC to your xmp timing for tras

methods

[steel stream]

yeah I'm 21 one now, and have already upraded that computer

[pure garnet]

i am not setting that shit to 36

[merry stirrup]

oh adjusted to 8k then 😭 damn

[pure garnet]

can i just punch 84 in that’s what i do on am5

[merry stirrup]

sure

what freakin kit do you have

36 on tras xmp?? 😭

[pure garnet]

the tcreate $80 30-36-36-76 6000

[merry stirrup]

yeah so tras is 76

at 8K thats ~101

[pure garnet]

read it wrong won’t lie

shit auto’d 117 we saving 5 cycles

[merry stirrup]

LOL

[smoky orbit]

Same, mine: (I’ve 100% switched to a newer system now tho, I still have it too)

a dell t3600, e5-2690, 32 gb ecc ddr3, 500 gb sata ssd, and a (unfortunately) 3050 low profile (upgraded the cpu, ram and gpu, was a quadro k2000 before

[merry stirrup]

ive already gone through like 8 computer builds

[steel stream]

wait there are just calculators that let you convert XMP settings into higher freqs?

[merry stirrup]

i made that

[pure garnet]

do i touch trdwr_dg

[wraith steeple]

My first computer predates some folks here

[pure garnet]

it’s at 25 i thought that wanted 8

[steel stream]

i didn't mean to laugh I swear

[merry stirrup]

uhhhh

uhhhhh

[pure garnet]

gonna leave that jawn at auto

auto all timings i don’t understand

[steel stream]

why did he all caps AMD but couldn't even capitalize the I in intel

[merry stirrup]

biased

[steel stream]

curse you Buildzoid

Buildzoid escaped Bri'ian I see

[steel stream]

I couldn't find the OG

[wraith steeple]

Back to his native Czechia

[merry stirrup]

read to read and write to write different group timings to 8

[merry stirrup]

rest i assume you just do basic lowest

some timings need you to use the tCCD stuff

[wicked kestrel]

me and my friend cracked a macbook 2017 screen and uh .. its completely fused
I thought its a LCD glued to the screen. No. the entire top assembly IS the lcd

[merry stirrup]

which if you want low effort set it to 18/48_L because otherwise faws dont do anything - nep

[steel stream]

rip the macbook

[merry stirrup]

tWR you should use tWR_pre & just leave twr on auto

[brittle trellis]

Idk why you expected any different from apple or even just laptops on general

Would break even easier if the glass wasn't a part of the screen

And look bad

[pure garnet]

wow karhu goes a lot faster on intel

[merry stirrup]

should hit 350ish on your settings i predict

[pure garnet]

😭 welcome back

[merry stirrup]

oh damn

[pure garnet]

i also did 30/30 and 40 ring

[steel stream]

oh wow you're almost to 100% already

[pure garnet]

forgot to mention that

[merry stirrup]

oh thats like scary

idk i believe the interconnect issues people have

if nep says 28 d2d wont bottleneck 9 im just gonna set 28

force uhhh

AON .77V
VDDIO 1.25V

(stock), the ocf at leasst looves overvolting the FUCK out of those two and thats how the boot issues present

[pure garnet]

i’m on the gigabyte

[merry stirrup]

yeah but idk if gigabyte is any better

[pure garnet]

vccio 1.27v

[merry stirrup]

prolly 1.25 auto

[merry stirrup]

yeah idk one time i looked and that jawn was at 1.4v

why does my io need 1.4volts

[pure garnet]

asrock sends 1.45v into the sa for 8000 i think they just don't test anything that doesn't affect the ln2 guys

[merry stirrup]

yeah i just manually set everything no lie 😭

1.3 sa 1.4 VDD2 .77 aon 4 me

[pure garnet]

auto is 0.795v
1.276v

[merry stirrup]

odd

[pure garnet]

i didn’t check vdd2 but it’s gigabyte so it’s conservative

[merry stirrup]

yeah probably pretty low

or like, 1.4, which is still fine

[pure garnet]

karhu got to 300% but i rebooted to drop d2d a bit

[merry stirrup]

i’m running 26 ngu 28 d2d

[pure garnet]

1.41 vdd2

i’m at 30 ngu

nep said they daily 30 earlier iirc

[merry stirrup]

💀😭incredible wording

[pure garnet]

duronaut looks good

[merry stirrup]

mmmm yesss quite good

i’m on a bunk ass tower cooler rn 💀😭

[pure garnet]

i mean i put a d15s on this

i'll let karhu run for a bit

not super worried because i ran 8000 daily + 8000 on these sticks no issue

so if it passes like an hour i can start messing with maxwell

but ocf is boxed so whenever your debit card shows up i can pack this stuff up and ship it

[merry stirrup]

mkay

[pure garnet]

i think we can skip the rgb at that price 💀

[merry stirrup]

nah bro im spending 400 for the pretty leds

[pure garnet]

i mean i did get the 670e over the 650e for 67

[merry stirrup]

😭

[smoky orbit]

16mb ggdr7 damn, didn’t knew they still made that /s

[steel stream]

worth it

[pure garnet]

not epic moment

[low sorrel]

His teammate fucked him

Stroll got one track limit penalty

And it was a 115s because his teammate fucked him

[pure garnet]

@merry stirrup i hit trefi

[merry stirrup]

[merry stirrup]

[pure garnet]

i dropped to 32767 rn

[merry stirrup]

im on 49152

[pure garnet]

actually i’m gonna try yanking 50mv out

bc iirc 6000c30 and 8000c38 are roughly the same???

nvm it's 8000c40

[merry stirrup]

yeah although most binning makes for x amount of tolerance

[pure garnet]

i gotta put some front fans in

this thing is fucking boiling after 5 min

[merry stirrup]

yeah 😭 i just started mem test and im in the same boat

put a fan on the test bed

theyre comin down slowly

[cosmic gazelle]

https://tenor.com/view/big-head-shaq-manly-knows-algebra-gif-12056072

[merry stirrup]

put a fatter fan on them theyre goin down way faster

bz method does NOT work

[cosmic gazelle]

i’m thinking about using a laptop for a router and this shit is complex as hell

networking is no joke

[merry stirrup]

ts doin it for me

pretty sure kyoko also has a diy calculator

[cosmic gazelle]

no i was making fun of him thinking 6000/30 was the same as 8000/38

[merry stirrup]

oh ok

we r chilling

cooling cheats activated

[cosmic gazelle]

are you guys both testing 270s or what

[merry stirrup]

we have 265's at the moment

[cosmic gazelle]

unc coded

dinosaur computer

[merry stirrup]

we're 19

oh i see 😭 i thought you were calling me old

[cosmic gazelle]

get with the times gramps we on 270kps now

[merry stirrup]

true

im messin around on 8600 rn

[wraith steeple]

[cosmic gazelle]

is that kit rated for 8000? why is there 8000 in the name lol

[merry stirrup]

wonder if itll do 9133 on the bench table again

[merry stirrup]

yes the whole info on the kit is in the name

[cosmic gazelle]

i didn’t even know there were kits specifically rated to do 8k

[merry stirrup]

8000 C38 H16

roughly equiv to 6000 C28 rating

[cosmic gazelle]

28.5 🤓

[merry stirrup]

thats why i said roughly

[cosmic gazelle]

hey that’s almost 18

yknow what ram won’t run lower than 18 and has two thumbs

[turbid locust]

wait how tf

[merry stirrup]

this dell 150cfm is blasting

[turbid locust]

how are we struggling to cool sticks sticks at 32k tREFI

[merry stirrup]

you own ryzen

your sticks draw approximately 3 watts

[pure garnet]

0 airflow 75f ambient

[turbid locust]

my fault

[merry stirrup]

the real memory controller doubles that

[turbid locust]

I was about to say like I’m running 50K with a fan on top of a 5090 in an A3 lmao

[merry stirrup]

😭 yeah

[cosmic gazelle]

real memory controller is like, that chinese cpu company that makes those core 2 duo equivalents

[turbid locust]

I don’t want to hear anything about a real memory controller when it can’t decide if it’s stable or not

[merry stirrup]

naked dimms are also really good for cooling i should do that

[turbid locust]

I genuinely cannot recommend anyone attempt to daily over 8600 on ARL

the stars have to fuckin align for that shit

[merry stirrup]

😭 thats still quite good

[turbid locust]

Yeah it’s fine but like 9K on ARL is the same vibe as 8000 on Ryzen

Except your Ryzen chip either does 8K or it doesn’t
