(And get the right power cord for your server’s psu)

Ohhh, yeah, might not pass

[devout ridge]

I have like 3 circuits right next to eachother, so i'm fine

[smoky orbit]

3 circuits or 3 wall outlets?

[devout ridge]

3 circuits

[smoky orbit]

Oh oki, just making sure

[devout ridge]

Though technically both because they are also separate receptacles

It's a weird corner of my house where a bunch of circuits are right next to each other

[smoky orbit]

Yeah I would hope so

[devout ridge]

there's 3 receptacles on 3 separate circuits within 4ft of eachother

[smoky orbit]

Otherwise that would catch fire real quick in case of a short circuit

[topaz veldt]

lol i'll take it

[smoky orbit]

(If the circuit would be on the same outlet)

[late atlas]

59,000 holy shit

[topaz veldt]

ln2

[devout ridge]

the difference between first and second is wild

[late atlas]

Can't wait for Linus to try and crack it with subzero cooling

[smoky orbit]

Already??

[topaz veldt]

yah thats ln2 vs water direct die

[late atlas]

Wdym ln2

[devout ridge]

why not LHe4?

[smoky orbit]

Liquid nitrogen

[late atlas]

Oh right

[smoky orbit]

(Basically)

[devout ridge]

Liquid Nitrogen (the 2 being because they're bonded pair molecules)

[late atlas]

That makes more sense now

[smoky orbit]

(Sometimes people make mixes to get better characteristics)

[devout ridge]

or just because pure LN2 can be hard to get

and liquid air is pretty close to the temp of LN2 anyways

[steel stream]

times are tough, I have to cut my LN2 with fent now

[smoky orbit]

Oh yeah, it’s not fun to extract as purely as possible

[devout ridge]

Liquid air is actually not that hard to make yourself funnily enough

[late atlas]

Yeah if you just blow hard enough and for long enough, you can make it yourself

Trust

Hear me out

Nevermind, don't

[slim pebble]

What was your final PBO settings?

[smoky orbit]

theoretically water is in the air so liquid water is liquid air (I know it’s not, trying to be silly)

https://hwbot.org/benchmarks/cinebench_-_r23_multi_core_with_benchmate/submissions/6009234

I think its +25 or +50, 5x scaler, medium boostit, and -42 CO

[young void]

Ive still yet to learn all that xD (how benchmate works and subbing scores)

Juan day

[slim pebble]

What is the boost it setting?

[topaz veldt]

I didn't run hwinfo during the run]

Hmmm to delid the X3D2 or not

[late atlas]

Do it, no balls

[young void]

XD

[topaz veldt]

maybe when my second one comes

[ember hamlet]

Goodness gracious man had to downgrade my AMD drivers two times last night cause of the dumb driver timeout messages lol

26.1.1 rn and its been doing good so far thankfully

[spiral quarry]

Lol at least you got that odd circuit, I'm pulling from different circuits in the old part of my house

My office I think has 2 or just one, idk but I know whenever I run my window ac, the compressor makes my apc ups kick online

If anything that ups is saving the equipment plugged into it most likely

[mild sentinel]

x3d2 benchmark?!?!!?!?!?

wait the 2nd dude is water direct die or ln2?

[fringe vigil]

Bro

Like wtf is pixel cleaning how do you even clean a pixel

[hoary hatch]

Carefully

[slim pebble]

No like I have no idea what “boostit” is, sorry.

[steel stream]

idk what it is but it's good

[slim pebble]

Also, does the PBO scalar degrade the life of the chip? I’ve never used it.

[steel stream]

helps panel longevitity

[shell void]

nah

it lets you use a bit more voltage in multithread workloads on the higher end ryzen cpus

higher voltage 1 and 2 thread workloads are what typically degrade CPUs

9850X3D for example

you’re still going up to the same ~1.4v peak on 1 thread regardless of scalar setting

[steel stream]

oh that's a neat graph

[shell void]

scalar does absolutely nothing on the 9800X3D in my experience

it’s mainly for the higher clocked models

5.6/5.7GHz SKUs

9950X, 9950X3D/2, 9850X3D

oh skatter has a video about the 9950X3D2 already

5.8GHz 🔥

[slim pebble]

Yeah using that eclk. That’s still a nice result.

The PBO CO tuned looks like the experience you can get for a daily driver

[low sorrel]

@steel stream do i buy

[shell void]

daily ECLK you COWARD

[steel stream]

idk, I don't think VR is that worth it personally unless you really want to get into sim racing

[slim pebble]

That’s a higher voltage with 1-2 threads but lower current. I thought it was current that did damage. Good to know I can safely turn that on though.

[low sorrel]

aw fuck you warship

[low sorrel]

I mean flight sims as well

[steel stream]

yeah you could do that too

[low sorrel]

I mean I used to play alot of vtol before my sticks devloped stick drift and i wasn't arsed to repair it

Also call me homophobic but idk if I'm comfortable wearing someones possibly gooned on headset

[slim pebble]

I ended up buying a VKB flight stick, zero issues with drift and if you do the Russians included spare parts. For the dry clutch and sensors.

“Don’t bother us, fix it yourself”

[smoky orbit]

Not homophobic, just not a weirdo

[shell void]

total chip current isn’t that relevant

voltage and current per core is what kills CPUs

i9s degraded because of boosting to absurd voltages on 1 or 2 cores

[hoary hatch]

oh shit

[shell void]

which is why businesses that ran their i9s with 65W or 125W limits still saw degradation

it didn’t stop the two preferred cores from boosting up to 1.6v

[hoary hatch]

am i blacklisted by amd since they didn't send me a thousand dollar processor

[steel stream]

yeah GN mentioned you in their YT video I think

[hoary hatch]

[low sorrel]

linus also didn't get one

[frank zealot]

What even is this monstrosity?

[shell void]

[steel stream]

it's the get rid of the shit in the back special

[topaz veldt]

I have always just PBO'd

but I am motivated to manual tune this thing

[green marsh]

getting rid of stuff which is using up storage space

[pure garnet]

people use 2 gpus for lossless scaling framegen to avoid buying a modern card

[frank zealot]

yeah that case is waaaayyy too nice for that hardware

[light solar]

hey guys

I am considering to change from s21 to iphone 12 is it worth it?

i found the cameras are absolutely terrible at night and capturing face detail on the s21

[low sorrel]

Me personally I wouldn't go from a 6 year old flagship phone to a 6 year old flagship phone

[steel stream]

yeah

[light solar]

I'm on a tight budget :(

[steel stream]

yeah I don't think it's worth it

[pure garnet]

if you're on a tight budget a used pixel would probably be the play

because you can usually get them a lot cheaper

[light solar]

im not really a fan of google phones

and we dont sell them in my country

cuz they dont got demand

[low sorrel]

Why is it called pixel 8 if it has millions of pixels hmmmm

[pure garnet]

if your only option is 2 6 year old phones i don't think you get to be fans of a brand

[light solar]

like i said

[low sorrel]

I don't think you should buy anything based on brand loyalty

[light solar]

google phones aint often around in my place

i know

[low sorrel]

Just keep your s21

[light solar]

the problem is the camera because video camera at night is horrendous

both front and rear cameras

i know that phones arent the best at night and all that

but i used to have an iphone 8 and it used to do a lot better in camera

[frank zealot]

Don't buy 6 year old phones, that's generally a bad idea.

I'm actually considering replacing my Note 20 Ultra soon-ish, cuz it's ooooooold

[light solar]

isnt iphone 12 still receiving support?

[low sorrel]

https://www.gadgetmatch.com/galaxy-s21-ultra-vs-iphone-12-pro-max-camera-shootout/

The cameras are quite similar anyways

[light solar]

thats the ultra

i have the base s21

[frank zealot]

until next year, yes.
But I still wouldn't buy a 5 or 6 year old phone

[steel stream]

that's also a 12 pro max

[light solar]

im planning to get a normal iphone 12

actually lemme show you how the camera is

[low sorrel]

The s21 has the same cameras

[steel stream]

yeah it's not gonna do great in low light

[frank zealot]

A current-gen mid-range phone will likely have specs to match, or beat, a 5 or 6 year old flagship

[pure garnet]

you're further explaining why this is a bad idea

[low sorrel]

Minus the 10x telephoto

[brave panther]

ye shall acquire thee

[pure garnet]

because it's been 5 years jerry

[low sorrel]

Why

[low sorrel]

Wrong reply lol

[merry stirrup]

i take north xl home today

[pure garnet]

bro copying me again

[frank zealot]

the north is one of the goated cases

[light solar]

without scene optimizer feature on samsung phones the camera quality is bad but its a good thing this feature is there

[brave panther]

get a dedicated camera

[steel stream]

my old fractal north lies in storage, with like 4 noctua fans in it

[low sorrel]

The 12 pro max also uses the same camera for the main shooter which is the one it uses for low light

[merry stirrup]

you have epoch

[pure garnet]

it's literally the same tooling bro

[merry stirrup]

black xl + glass ver not mesh

[pallid marsh]

iPhone wins the s21 ultra shouldn't be used it lost security update support

[steel stream]

you should have gotten mesh tbh

do they do XL mesh

[merry stirrup]

yes however work doesn’t actually stock the glass ones so the ones we have are cheap for me

[steel stream]

ah I see valid af

it's not like it's a huge deal anyways

[low sorrel]

No it lost feature updates

[steel stream]

does it? I swore the 12 Pro Max main camera was better than the 12s

[light solar]

S21 camera btw

[low sorrel]

Security updates on

[light solar]

It's not even that dark

[low sorrel]

Never mind

[pallid marsh]

[pure garnet]

try not sitting in complete darkness

[low sorrel]

Increase iso

[light solar]

its actually not THAT dark

[steel stream]

but I'm batman

[light solar]

i tried with my brothers iphone 11 and its better

[low sorrel]

Did they I still get feature updates for my s22

[fervent chasm]

in a 4 dimm board, are slots 2 and 4 preferred?

[low sorrel]

Use pro video and increase the iso

[pure garnet]

check whats written on the silkscreen but usually yeah

[brave panther]

https://tenor.com/view/voron-manual-3d-printing-3d-folder-gif-6512906822639121999

[fervent chasm]

it was more of a general question

i was thinking is it because its further from cpu?

[brave panther]

well it is generally written in the fucking manual

[light solar]

Damn

[steel stream]

yeah but sometimes they switch it up to keep you on your toes

[fervent chasm]

its not an issue for a manual, im asking how it usually is

[light solar]

okay i will try

[fervent chasm]

you want me to read every single motherboard manual to see what the general slots are?

whats your issue today

[steel stream]

also I think low night video is generally hard to do no? Low light photo, just long exposure time and it's fine, but for videos it's difficult

[pallid marsh]

https://www.sammobile.com/news/galaxy-s21-plus-ultra-software-updates-stopped/ yeah the s21 line is eol

[low sorrel]

tf samsung

[pallid marsh]

They kept their promises

[low sorrel]

meanwhile my one year older s22 just got one ui 8.5

newer

[frank zealot]

funny how 5 years... changes year to year

[low sorrel]

that seems fine

[placid blaze]

My main phone is a pixel 9a and tbh the video quality on my ZV-E10 with the stock lens is only marginally better

I am sure I kicked a beehive just now

[light solar]

did you see it on full screen

[pallid marsh]

Who is zv

[light solar]

iphone naturally makes better cameras without needing to tweak the stuff yoursel

[low sorrel]

thats... debatable

like very debatable

[light solar]

most of the time

[hallow warren]

how much should i pay for a pc with a 270k plus and a 9070 xt 96 gb ram and 2 tb ssd

[pallid marsh]

But sony makes the cameras

[low sorrel]

actually samsung

[placid blaze]

https://electronics.sony.com/imaging/interchangeable-lens-cameras/aps-c/p/ilczve10-b

[light solar]

samsung does

[low sorrel]

now

[light solar]

samsung makes the SCREENS too

[pallid marsh]

Ah I see

[pallid marsh]

And dedicated wam

[placid blaze]

*deditated wam

[light solar]

yeah i think im upgrading to iphone 12

i gave samsung a chance but im so disappointed

[pallid marsh]

My mum is upgrading her 12 mini to the 17e

[light solar]

nice

[pallid marsh]

Now her phone won't fit in her women jean pockets

[light solar]

😭

[low sorrel]

I mean...

you bought the phone that's one year before they had a night mode video

and your supurised it's bad at night mode?

[light solar]

night mode is good at PHOTO mode

not video

[low sorrel]

There is no night mode video on the s21

[light solar]

thats the point

[low sorrel]

the iphone 12 is pretty bad at night mode too

I used to have one before i dropped it

I would never break a phone

[light solar]

but face details isnt looking horrible tho

my s21 turns my face like a water painting

[fringe swift]

Can someone help me with something about my performance being not so performance like

[low sorrel]

are you talking about low light?

[steel stream]

no sorry

[light solar]

generally

[steel stream]

with the selfie cam? yeah iPhone 12 won't do better either

[low sorrel]

idk bro looks like a skill issue

I wouldn't say either of these are too different

[light solar]

processor also makes a difference

snapdragon ver of s21 generally is better at photos and overall performance

but for samsung exynos ver its okay but not that much

[steel stream]

you're making a mountain out of a hill, buying an iPhone won't really fix your photos/videos

they will perform about the same

[light solar]

i'll think about it

[low sorrel]

I can almost guarantee you that if you truly need better picture quality you will be back here in a week looknig for something newer

[fringe swift]

I'll delete that and wait in tech support

[light solar]

its just that the feeling of switching to something you were used to for years like the iphone 8 to this samsung is a bit of a rollercoaster

[steel stream]

@low sorrel I was looking at getting into iPod modding and having one for my music, but man is it $$$

[low sorrel]

yes it is

[low sorrel]

and your gonna have to relearn ios because your used to android now

[steel stream]

I might have an iPod at home, but I'm not going for a while

[low sorrel]

i've switched between ios and android like 5 times

[steel stream]

but my goal for the summer is to get 3 new pairs of headphones and an iPod

[light solar]

I'll go by your word and stay with the s21

[low sorrel]

or you could buy something newer

[light solar]

if only dude

I'd go with an s23

but i am your regular 16 year old student so there isnt much i could do lol

[hoary hatch]

This is what the z flip was made for

[pallid marsh]

Old enough for a job

[light solar]

[hoary hatch]

[low sorrel]

Old enough to overthrow a goverment

[light solar]

old enough to be a cc

[low sorrel]

Also the foldable iphone better be called the iphold

[smoky orbit]

Still a bit big (fuck woman’s pants have no pockets )

[low sorrel]

just cross dress bro

[fervent chasm]

im so glad we got cameras

[pallid marsh]

Sew men pockets in

[fervent chasm]

that big ass dog fucked up my license plate

[smoky orbit]

Im a trans woman so no

[fervent chasm]

i literally just got it now i gotta bend it back

[hoary hatch]

Tbh if a pocket can't fit a flip phone then it can't fit any phone

[fervent chasm]

and it took down the owner too lmao

[hoary hatch]

In which case you may as well get a phablet

[smoky orbit]

They should just put bigger pockets in the first time

[pallid marsh]

Y'all are required to have front plates ew

[low sorrel]

I don't get the hate about front plates

[smoky orbit]

Ugly

[low sorrel]

usually you can mount them in a place where it's not that bad

[pallid marsh]

When I hit/run over the moving speed bumps in the school zone it ruins the plate

[low sorrel]

@pallid marsh do you know anything about recell exchange?

[brisk jolt]

my fam wants to

[frank zealot]

@edgy laurel

I laughed at this

[shell void]

ill need one of these for my 6090

that i wont buy because i dont want an 800-1000W GPU anymore

im still leaning towards downsizing from 5090 to 6080

[frank zealot]

I'm curious to see what the 60 series looks like

Nvidia keeps pulling shady shizz and I just wonder

[topaz veldt]

You guys laugh....

[shell void]

is that creeping congo crud inside your waterblock? or just dust

probably dust because that's not actually part of the block, just the acrylic cover over those unimportant parts

what am i laughin at tho? it's a baller PC

[merry stirrup]

one puter later

[shell void]

ill give you five dollars to cable manage my puter

[topaz veldt]

Dust

[shell void]

it's a sweet pc aside from the rainbow rgb mr snail what am i to laugh at?

[pure garnet]

you cable manage the back?

[topaz veldt]

It's rainbow because win11 freshie

Going for some baseline runs

[merry stirrup]

i work at SI

[shell void]

stop posting screenshots of your 9950X3D2 dude it makes me want to tradein my 9800X3D even though i know it's pointless

nova lake feels like it's ten million years away even though it's only 8 months

[pure garnet]

if you weren’t buying nova lake day 1 i’d say why not

but you want 52c nova so why waste money now

[shell void]

im not sure what ill do with this tomahawk and 9800x3d

id say id give it to my father but he's probably uninterested in the swap because he's content with the i9 10900

id rather keep using the 14900K for the jellyfin PC because it's more efficient and based

[frank zealot]

I'll give you 5$

[pure garnet]

i mean it’s also straight up superior since quick sync

[shell void]

i have a b580 in the pc so it doesnt really matter

[frank zealot]

(I also really don't need it)

[shell void]

the igpu on the 14900K can only do 4k60 which annoys me

[pure garnet]

i’m flying to ohio next month to scope it out since i want to move there

once i do that i can move my jellyfin to a real pc

[frank zealot]

Do you know how baller a 358H on a desktop board would be for a Plex server?

[shell void]

i agree a panther lake mini pc would be sweet

im intrigued by the 16 core 12xe3p nova lake sku that jaykihn mentioned a few days ago

the same amount of cpu and gpu cores as the pantherlake 358/388h, but with newer architectures

and supposedly itll be on the lga1954 desktop package

[frank zealot]

My boss is gonna get a 358h laptop when a decent one is available

[shell void]

mitx nova lake apu pc would be cute

[pure garnet]

i just want nvl bllc to be better than zen 6 x3d so i can get off amd daily

[shell void]

tbh im expecting it to be worse than z6x3d in games so that my hopes arent shattered

zen 6 clocks higher and is a simpler core layout

[topaz veldt]

https://www.3dmark.com/pr/3907410

[shell void]

it wouldnt surprise me if it's better than nova lake in games

[pure garnet]

i’m buying new stuff (board) either way but it feels nicer buying the intel one

[topaz veldt]

HoF

[pure garnet]

was that at 800w

[shell void]

i dont remember what my highest port royal score was, but im sure yours is higher

[pure garnet]

i wish my card had a lil more voltage to play with

375w max on the 400w bios is sadge :/

[fervent chasm]

What’s the difference between X3D and X3D2

In performance

[topaz veldt]

[shell void]

idk why but the matrix vbios lets the 5090 use more voltage under load even when it wouldnt be limited by the standard 600w limit

[pure garnet]

2

[shell void]

it also clocks higher at equivalent vf targets

it's just a more aggressive vbios overall

[topaz veldt]

About $300

[fervent chasm]

._.

[pure garnet]

was it also +100 roughly?

[shell void]

depends on the load and whether youd be power limited or not

at 0.88v it's more like +50MHz

but if youre running it full out then it can be a several hundred MHz difference

because you can run at 750-800W instead of 600W

[topaz veldt]

damn

[pure garnet]

my friend with the pny 5070ti has similar clocks but his bios is the same power target as the trio

[shell void]

aw cute snuggling with dom

[topaz veldt]

3337

[shell void]

and that guy has one of those ridiculous mora setups with ten million fans

[topaz veldt]

Yup

And 3-4 pumps

[shell void]

looks like youd eclipse him if you used eclk

[pure garnet]

the 980ti was a miss so i’ve been back to benching the 5070ti when im bored

[topaz veldt]

His CPU is DD

[shell void]

he's only beating you on cpu

[young void]

Im only hitting like 41000rn frigging luckyyy

[topaz veldt]

He's chiller and direct die

[shell void]

is it broken?

[pure garnet]

get an ice bucket

[wraith steeple]

[topaz veldt]

Would love to beat him by one point

[shell void]

iirc ~1500MHz game clock was the tryhard target for a 980Ti

[pure garnet]

no but the board is reference design so it’ll just explode when i evc it

the memory power delivery is very weak

someone actually blew it up without an evc

[wraith steeple]

I would like to know of this individual

[topaz veldt]

PC is just on my desk gents no games

[frank zealot]

Like... 1% or less in most cases

[pure garnet]

i got 1441 out of it

[shell void]

still reppin the T30-120s i see

[shell void]

did you see that T30-140s are finally actually available? they took forever

[topaz veldt]

Yup

But 360 rads

[shell void]

such a hideous fan but it works well

all performance no swagger

[topaz veldt]

I'm going to swap the Optimus block on tomorrow

[shell void]

Dom and Sugi0lover are a couple of the more well-known Mora overclocking tryhards that get early binned samples from Asus or whoever else

[pure garnet]

apparently i went crazy on the memory already

[topaz veldt]

I'm anxious to find out what Dom's SP ratings

[young void]

Groks under heavy usuage? Or are they just pay walling the app now?

[pure garnet]

dom has had his awhile

[topaz veldt]

@shell void skatterbencher has a 117, same as me

[pure garnet]

he was posting blurred pictures of it previously

[wraith steeple]

Ah okay, so none of those I know of and aren't members in the Holy Church of MORA server

[topaz veldt]

They're kind of not interested in that

Dom's mora is outside on a deck in Finland or some shit

[shell void]

ooh i wonder if you could get ~5.8GHz on the primary CCD with eCLK like he did

[topaz veldt]

Def

But like

[pure garnet]

are your ccds similar in quality

[shell void]

it does basically nada for real world performance judging 9800X3D vs 9850X3D benchmarks, but it's a flex

[topaz veldt]

What do you mean

[pure garnet]

dom was able to match clocks on both

[topaz veldt]

He got them close they weren't matched

[wraith steeple]

Does Bang4BuckPC have one of these X3D2s? Haven't kept up with him in ages

[topaz veldt]

I'm just doing pbo

[shell void]

i thought the 9950X3D2 would be two 5625MHz CCDs because of the extra 50W added to the default PPT

[topaz veldt]

Nope

[shell void]

it surprised me when i saw that it's 5625 and 5425

[topaz veldt]

It's like a 9850X3D + 9800X3D

[shell void]

maybe theyre staggering clocks on purpose to try to convince programs to use the higher clocked ccd by default

instead of juggling

[topaz veldt]

I think it's just gentle binning

[shell void]

itll be funny to see nova lake come out because people are seeing 250W PPT on the 9950X3D2 as extreme right now

meanwhile nova lake is ~500W PL2 on the 52 core model rofl

[topaz veldt]

Lol

[pure garnet]

he has them all at 5.7 here

[shell void]

you’ll be making good use of that 240v circuit in your office in a couple of years

good forward thinking

[reef sage]

I did a case swap and am now getting 0d on my msi mb, has anyone else gotten this? I cant work on it at the moment just trying to figure out my plan

[wraith steeple]

I wonder if Bl4ckdot has one

[pure garnet]

52 cores vs 16

[shell void]

it’s totally reasonable i know

[pure garnet]

even with ht it’s 32 vs 52

i think a cave man could understand why it needs power

[shell void]

it’ll just be a big jump for consumer platforms in one year when they think 250/253W is a lot now

[pure garnet]

I wish I could tag Luke in here

[shell void]

that is a frickin cool bird

[pure garnet]

my x550 is back in service but i think my x540 is just done

[shell void]

ironically i prefer x540 over x550 because it doesnt scream

but i dont use either

[pure garnet]

the x670e-e has an older 225v i’m not even touching that with a 5 foot pole

[shell void]

come on you know you want the peekaboo nic

[pure garnet]

ax211 is quite preferable to qualcomm though

[merry stirrup]

norf is quite nice

[pure garnet]

i like that the xl gives you a real cutout for the eps

the non xl is this chungus 3 inch hole

[merry stirrup]

eugh

[shell void]

i cant lie the interior tooling of the standard north/epoch angers me

it's so space inefficient

but the exterior looks nice

[topaz veldt]

i posted in there - i want to try static OC on this CPU

[shell void]

i had a bad time trying to manual oc my 9800x3d

i couldnt even get it to post consistently at 5.4GHz no matter how high of a vcore offset or manual voltage i used

but it's happy as a clam to run +200MHz -30CO 5425MHz in any stress test for hundreds of hours

[pure garnet]

i have eclk if i wanna blow my shit up

[shell void]

meanwhile i could post 6.2GHz allcore on my 14900K if i wanted to

much more obedient

[topaz veldt]

i miss my 14900k

[shell void]

😿

with the legendary batch white apex

pretty sure the 13900KS posted 6.35

[topaz veldt]

should i try to post 2233 fclk

yeah just get a dolly bro

[merry stirrup]

yeah bro dolly my north down my stairs

oh no it fell all the way down and fell through the wall into the bathroom

[shell void]

my two main cases are steel full towers and from the 2010s

i havent experienced any of the modern fishtanks before

[merry stirrup]

o11d is quite fat

[shell void]

carrying a square case seems awkward

also very floorspace inefficient

or footprint whatever

[pure garnet]

dual chamber is double wide

[merry stirrup]

yeah its huge

[topaz veldt]

i should have buried a pex loop under the patio

[wraith steeple]

I have thought of doing dual 420s in my M2XL or 480 on top and 420 up front in inspiration of Fractal's renders of the M2XL/D7XL at some point

[teal orbit]

I got an x540 from ebay for a shop computer, but the fan sounds like a terrified mouse and a capacitor fell off while I was inspecting it
But it still works

[wraith steeple]

Luckily I'm not leaving the Watercooling hobby. Though I'm definitely taking a break from doing hardline. The Y60 rebuild was like "yeah.... I'm definitely stepping down on this shit for a bit"

[merry stirrup]

-1mbps from that cap

[teal orbit]

It looked important because it was one of those that's attached directly to the nic chip socket but apparently not

My 7950X3D was a beast

6800 1:1 was lol

[turbid locust]

$300 on ebay for 16 full fat cores that are decent

Would be cool if we could have a consumer platform without gimped pcie lanes but yk

[shell void]

buy one of snails four 9950X3Ds

[turbid locust]

he would not let me buy one for sub 300

guy does not believe in friends and family discounts

[turbid locust]

all to scroll discord and watch youtube btw

[shell void]

it’s optimal

[turbid locust]

next daily rebuild will be the best cpu gaming performance i can get for the lowest TDP

going ITX probably

[shell void]

52 core ITX would be based

[turbid locust]

I truly dont care about multicore performance on the daily at all

If I did i wouldve kept my 270K and dailied it

[topaz veldt]

[topaz veldt]

my tune survives Ncase M3 5090 lol

[turbid locust]

I think I enjoy my pc just working tho

[turbid locust]

theres like not many options for SFF cases that can accommodate a >2 slot gpu

besides that would require me to spend money on a new case, cooler, mobo, and PSU

and I already have two AIOs laying around that I dont know what to do with

[topaz veldt]

I have so m uch shit its almost unbelievable

[trim agate]

Well you buy computer components for them, seems like the most logical thing to do

[brisk jolt]

naturally I should buy a Z890 270k for my assassin 4 VC

[merry stirrup]

flops im not dropping another 200 for a elite duo over the aorus master

[topaz veldt]

im thinking of selling 270K/apex and getting a white AM5 and using my 9950X3D in i t

maybe the gigglebyte 2 dimmer

[brisk jolt]

ya mean the one with that weird orientation?

i just came outta an exam and buddy looked like he just got hella roasted

@topaz veldt How much does a Z890 Aorus master cost/worth on ur end? I rmb kyoko got hers for hella cheap

[topaz veldt]

no i dea

prob like 300-400 i'd guess

$279

[brisk jolt]

o shii, I might indeed pull the trigger on that and either the 250K/270K for an overkill homeserver

[slim pebble]

I feel bad having just two PCs

[turbid locust]

Linux for desktop has come a long way

Immediate HDR compatibility and configuration out of the box…

I'll decide if this was a mistake or not very soon, probably.

HDR screenshots immediately work better than windows by default

Update: VRR brokey

[slim pebble]

I’ve been running it for nearly a year now, so far so good. You can emulate Windows if you really need something exclusive to it

[turbid locust]

So far only main gripe is VRR being not good

extreme flicker on desktop

nvm I think i fixed it I might be the goat

[slim pebble]

How’d you fix it?

[turbid locust]

forcing adaptive sync on every display

idk im still getting weird micro hitching i think

[slim pebble]

Linux is fun, but there’s quite a bit to it that’s not friendly to people who don’t know UNIX

Like, just adding a second SSD as your home drive.

Creating the file system, editing/adding the fstab entry, tarball and copy files off of the first drive, preserve permissions and sparse files, etc.

[turbid locust]

impressed that it just immediately picked up my NAS on the network

[spiral quarry]

Ohh liking it so far?

[turbid locust]

not a terrible experience so far but I havent played a game yet and I spent 30 mins battling a VRR issue lol

[spiral quarry]

ah I haven't tinkered that deep into it also

Well more like the system I have it on it in storage now

[frail beacon]

Good luck
I've always had some issue which would be really difficult to solve and then I would give up

[vestal timber]

you'll be fine

[frail beacon]

The biggest issue for me is battery life and app compatibility. App stuff I can figure out if I spend a few more hours. But I've tried to figure out battery life a lot but it just isn't working. It's really less for basic use compared to windows.

[vestal timber]

KDE should have power-profile-daemon support built in

[frail beacon]

Yeah well my battery life was worse compared to windows whatever I did.

[vestal timber]

did you have like a broken process eating your CPU?

[frail beacon]

In windows I would easily get 10+ hours for the basic tasks that I would do most of the time. It became less than 6-7 on Linux

[frail beacon]

I've installed like three or four different distros and all had this similar issue so I don't think so. It might be related to drivers ig?

[vestal timber]

perhaps, some laptops just doesn't like linux at all

probably disconfiguration or misconfiguration on manufacturers side

[frail beacon]

Yeahh
And this week I completely removed my linux partition so that I can play microsoft flight simulator

[vestal timber]

DCS > Flight sim btw

[frail beacon]

Windows works perfectly soo idk about that

[vestal timber]

well linux shouldn't use more resources, but it is what it is

[frail beacon]

I do long hauls and study while the flight is in cruise-

[frail beacon]

Yep
I still want to try out new distros and other operating systems.

One OS I want to be able to install is the new aluminium os. It will be interesting to see how well it runs

[vestal timber]

you know that android is based off of the Linux kernel

you could try using alpine Linux to just use the kernel and a bootloader, perhaps systemd or glibc with the drivers is the problem

just keep in mindd that gaming on musl will suck

[frail beacon]

I'm more interested in the desktop environment. I love material 3 expressive and how it was advertised. So if we're getting that on the desktop, it would be good.

I like the quick settings panel in Gnome for that. It looks and feels nice

[frail beacon]

I really don't want to spend hours on that. I want things to just work without much hassle.

[vestal timber]

yeah I get that

[frail beacon]

I hope linux DEs keep getting better. It's going to be tough to get me to switch to linux and I probably won't but there could be something that stays on my laptop for when it gets old and cannot run windows 12 or 13

(Non zero chance that windows skips 13 and jumps to 14)

[civic reef]

I am going through with this AM4 APU ITX build

Just waiting for someone to bite and sell me a 4000/5000G CPU for a decent price

[brisk jolt]

now I feel like “shit. mistake.” bcs all my plans just make a 180

[trim agate]

Which plan

The 10Gbps aginet mesh is under $200 as well

The aginet one is a mesh as well no? Tplink black mesh

[brisk jolt]

they got a router and not a mesh

so i need to research if I have any workaround now

[trim agate]

Send the model number

[brisk jolt]

be832

as of rn my only options from google and AI would be a be800

the range falloff is crazy

this is with the door open btw

no diff with the door closed

then I bought an hp elitedesk mini lol

pretty nutso

[trim agate]

This is mesh compatible

[trim agate]

There’ll be a difference trust

[brisk jolt]

according to gemini so take with a grain of salt, even if i got a be800 with wireless backhaul, and ethernet to the pc, i wont see much diff

[trim agate]

I mean

At the end of the day it’s all wireless backhaul

You won’t get true ethernet like ever

Your plans with an aginet or with an Asus doesn’t really change anything

I feel like the universe is playing jokes on me

When I didn't have the money to buy anything, everything was in stock and accounted for

Now that I have money, nothing is in stock

Atleast by the time stuff is in stock again I can probably afford a better item

[smoky orbit]

You can also save up so you can pay a bigger first payment so the rest will be either shorter term payments or cheaper payments

[civic reef]

Well, in a non-war scenario, using the extra money to buy a better item is the best move

And with a consistent salary of ~130-180, it'll be easier to afford things in general

[smoky orbit]

Yeah, sowwy for being messy 👉 👈

[civic reef]

Could you rephrase 😭?

Also what I meant is
By the time the war ends, I'll probably have enough money to put a large enough downpayment to get a higher end machine like a 5070 laptop or such

Something in the 2K realm

[smoky orbit]

I tried saying that i would never recommend someone saving a disproportionate portion of their income towards buying anything computer related since it’s still is one of the worst medium to long term investment

Depending on security situation post-war I may get a basic 5050 (Or even ARC iGPU ThinkPad) laptop or bump up to $1,600 with a 5070

But this is all speculation anyway

[smoky orbit]

As long as it’s not stock stipulation or housing stipulation it’s more than welcome (hehe am funey )

[civic reef]

~w~
Silly

Though currently, as a theoretical high end, I am considering something like an Aurora 16X / Legion 5 👀

[smoky orbit]

Second one is better in my opinion

[light solar]

The first one was my old iphone 8

I got a s21 this month

[smoky orbit]

I thought you were talking about the setups (I have no idea which picture is better quality ngl)

[light solar]

[shell void]

XD

[smoky orbit]

@light solar this is the kind of pic I take (cause my camera’s stabilizator is efed to the ground) (and the kind im used to) so I can’t really rank pictures based on their quality unless there’s hugs gap

[shell void]

they might be worried about zen 6 leaks now that they’re in the qualifying phase

[young void]

Lmao made me think of bass ✨

[south shuttle]

that mouse is haunting me from the other side of the world

[shell void]

the bedazzled optiplex looks cool

[edgy laurel]

it looks like garage floor epoxy

[steel stream]

it's just too funny, "we must monitor videocardz.com! this is too important!"

[smoky orbit]

It has a dgpu (probably a whimpy 710 or 1030 )

[young void]

Keks

[steel stream]

totally valid and reasonable price

[young void]

I dont know what its all worth off the top but I paid alittle less for just a psu the other day xD

Seems fair

[shell void]

XD

as if they wouldn’t know that they posted zen 6 leaks right away because people would talk about it

they don’t need to actively monitor the site

[livid flame]

Z6 leaks?

[green marsh]

@topaz veldt too bad this doesn't include prompt processing really, but shows the token generation speed difference https://fxtwitter.com/stevibe/status/2047297499921338696

Qwen3.6 27B landed yesterday, so I ran it on 4 setups side-by-side to see how they stack up:
︀︀
︀︀🔴 RTX 4090 — 45.59 tok/s, TTFT 525ms
︀︀🟢 RTX 5090 — 51.83 tok/s, TTFT 752ms
︀︀⚫️ M2 Ultra — 22.30 tok/s, TTFT 216ms
︀︀🟣 DGX Spark — 11.08 tok/s, TTFT 319ms
︀︀
︀︀This is a standard test: no tuning, just the out-of-the-box experience.
︀︀
︀︀For the NVIDIA cards I used llama.cpp with Unsloth's UD-Q4_K_XL quant. For the M2 Ultra I used MLX with Unsloth's UD-MLX-4bit quant, since MLX is the native path on Apple Silicon.
︀︀
︀︀Please consider this as the baseline, you can definitely squeeze more out of every one of these with fine-tuned settings.

TSMC falloff will be studied in school

TSMC won’t be incorporating backside power delivery until 2029+

Intel is already using that for 18A which went into HVM in 2025

BELT TO ASS

Oof the 1300 meg either sold out or they are just down to the used stock curious, no regrets on snagging 2 lol

[green marsh]

it might need special builds/engine, but yeah

someone wrote:

You need to use TensorRT-LLM for Nvidia cards. llama.cpp is not the optimal backend for Nvidia’s chips.

[young void]

Grok still not usuable... lamee. They pay walled it mehhhh uninstalls

[topaz veldt]

I am literally going to be swimming in 32GB 2Rx4 2933 DIMMs

[green marsh]

what AI really enables is instead of 3-4 unfinished projects we now have 20-30 unfinished projects /s

[topaz veldt]

its not /s lol

I went from a docker compose projects folder of like 5 - 6 working things to about 20 things of questionable reliability

[vague oriole]

anyone know how to overclock a laptop

[brisk jolt]

google.com

[vague oriole]

how do i unlock

[pure garnet]

you don’t

[devout ridge]

what software even is that

[pure garnet]

throttlestop

[brisk jolt]

gg I read that as throttleslop

[shell void]

not wrong

[cosmic gazelle]

nah, it’s good stuff

massively improves performance for some gaming laptops

AMD should just hire you to scrape videocardz for them

[steel stream]

$300K starting please

[shell void]

i think a cheap Z970 board and the 6p12e 108MB nova lake CPU will be a value weapon

[steel stream]

agreed

hopefully you can get a board for like 150-200, then CPU for 250-300

[shell void]

i hope for ~$100 Z970 boards

[steel stream]

me too, me too

[turbid locust]

Guys I did the thing last night

[steel stream]

saw how many times you could drive around a roundabout before being pulled over?

[turbid locust]

No I wish lmao

[steel stream]

damn

[turbid locust]

I installed Linux

[steel stream]

may god have mercy on your soul

[gusty lichen]

you wont

[steel stream]

I've done it before

I didn't get pulled over, my friends just told me to knock it off

[gusty lichen]

you can only get arrested if you murder somebody while doing it

and thats not hard\

[steel stream]

I don't plan on murdering someone in a roundabout

[gusty lichen]

ur good then

[turbid locust]

real

within 10 mins of installing I spent 30 mins battling a VRR issue

[steel stream]

sounds like linux

[topaz veldt]

linux on the desktop is rough

[gusty lichen]

linux sucks

[smoky orbit]

Arguments?

[gusty lichen]

complicated
no ecosystem
so much editions

[turbid locust]

It’s surprisingly better than when I tried about 4 years ago

HDR and whatnot is configurable and works great straight out of the box

[smoky orbit]

Ah yes, the reasons of Linux existence are apparently it’s flaws

[gusty lichen]

also the ui is kinda ugly

[turbid locust]

quite literally change it to whatever you want

[gusty lichen]

idk how

[merry stirrup]

there’s a million ui’s that’s a stupid sentence

[turbid locust]

skissue

[merry stirrup]

select a different desktop environment

[pure garnet]

https://tenor.com/view/linux-linux-users-gaming-computer-computers-gif-23121479

[merry stirrup]

and so on 😭

[smoky orbit]

the internet exists this person “nah”

[gusty lichen]

how

[merry stirrup]

you clicked on it when installing

[turbid locust]

same way you figure out how to do anything on Linux. Google it.

[gusty lichen]

it preinstalled bunch of trash

[merry stirrup]

moron

[pure garnet]

linux on the desktop sucks but not for what that guy is talking about

[merry stirrup]

you preinstalled a bunch of trash

[smoky orbit]

Linux did that? No, you did

[merry stirrup]

this guy is trying to rage bait but i think he’s not all there

[turbid locust]

Guy tried Ubuntu 7 years ago 1000% lmao

[gusty lichen]

lemme boot it up and show the trash

[pure garnet]

windows maintains compatibility with binaries for basically forever and a glibc update will just bulldozer breaking changes and kill binaries

packaging is also a disaster since it's built entirely on the trust of people

[merry stirrup]

oh no it came with 3kb of application it’s over

why did you tell it to install the applications when you were installing it

[turbid locust]

Ubuntu with Gnome to experience Linux is like coming to the conclusion cars suck because you only tried a smart car

[merry stirrup]

because you just click next without reading anything that pops up? 😭

[pure garnet]

gui installer?

[gusty lichen]

possibly

[merry stirrup]

possibly

[gusty lichen]

i will show just wait

how slow is your computer dawg

[topaz veldt]

also ubuntu and gnome doesn't suck

[gusty lichen]

linux speed

[merry stirrup]

he’s got linux how slow do you think

[turbid locust]

Gnome is the worst DE imo lmfao

[pure garnet]

wtf is blowing up my disk

[gusty lichen]

wait how do i install this thing

looks cool

[topaz veldt]

Bro you installed last night. Disagree.

[merry stirrup]

60 pictures of floppa

[smoky orbit]

“I haven’t read anything that was written and now I’m surprised it did something”

[pure garnet]

huh

[turbid locust]

It’s not my first go around. I’ve tried many distros and DEs in the past. Gnome is just… BAD

[topaz veldt]

https://tenor.com/view/rolling-eyes-gif-22773102

[turbid locust]

It’s like windows 8 simulator on Linux with that whole ass menu that takes over your screen to chose an app

[topaz veldt]

You're thinking of KDE
