I know for a fact that some companies void warranties if you install another operating system, I dont know if it counts with reinstalling windows

lone thorn
#

basically just so i can get as clean of a windows install as possible

limpid tapir
#

Do you hae a specific usecase where you need a superclean windows install?

#

Like is the machine going to be used as an offline station to test code?

#

Because realistically its not going to give you any performance gains that you would actually feel or be able to notice outside synthetic benchmarks

#

Hell i doubt you would even see a change in the synthetic benchmarks

lone thorn
#

im just stupid and doing fresh installs of windows is the most direct way i know how remove bloatware.

limpid tapir
#

Oh its not stupid in the least

#

Its pretty technical and stupid people wouldnt be able to do it

limpid tapir
#

Also its a fair way to remove bloatware, I just dont think that there would be enough preloaded crap to merit something like that

frail beacon
#

Reinstalling Windows for this reason is a waste of time imo

You might also lose the Lenovo laptop control software and you will need to download it again (if you plan on using it)

limpid tapir
#

Also because having lenovo vantage is pretty helpful too when dealing with drivers

#

Smartnote for yoga series products with pens

lone thorn
#

im pretty sure wouldn't i be able to just find the downloads for those again on Lenovos website

frail beacon
lone thorn
#

plus i literally just got it today, and the only thing i did was make a local account just to make sure it's not DOA

frail beacon
lone thorn
#

i can't be that different on laptops vs desktops? because i've installed windows on desktops, but i haven't reinstalled it on laptops. well fuck its good practice, im trying to work in IT and im taking an IT certificate course.

What do you think touchbar does, it's not just a touchscreen f row

#

you can use the bar for colour picking, video editing scrub, controls in audio production

it was really really good, the ones that complain are the ones that can't actually use it

#

I kinda wish they brought back tb for the pro models

green marsh
#

only time i ever did press the touchbar for anything but F keys was always by mistake

green marsh
pseudo bane
#

then you're not the target demographic and shouldn't have bought the non touchbar version 😭

#

it's not like they forced you into getting just the touchbar, there was non touchbar versions of the macbooks too

pseudo bane
green marsh
#

there was no 16" MBP 2019 without touchbar, it was not an option

pseudo bane
#

it was a life saver, sometimes I didn't want to carry that wacom thing

green marsh
#

well they did. 16" MBP 2019 was the only non-broken Apple laptop at the time

#

(the first post-butterfly keyboarad macbook)

pseudo bane
#

I always wonder who keeps on breaking their keyboards for the butterfly switch

#

I have a 2025 MBP 13 for my work, I really miss the butterfly switches, they were crisp af

#

before that I had the 2017 MBP TB 13 inch

green marsh

it was perfect, except the SSD died on my unit prematurely

a pci 3.00x2 is slower than a pci 3.0 x 4, for m.2s right?

granite dirge

alright this is what im thinking then so i can get a different motherboard so my build can fit case fans, since an atx motherboard headers and such on the bottom are bending covered/bending , and i dont want to cauusse damage with case fans

and then ild jsut remove one of my m.2's

granite dirge

sorry i didnt get to hit enter a phone call came in

rapid kettle

@granite dirge
The B850M-Plus is all around better;
better vrm cooling
20gbps usb-c on the back vs 10 on the 850m-e
10gbps usb-c on the front vs 5 on the 850m-e
8+8 pin on motherboard instead of 8+4 (MORE POWER!!!)
1 extra fan header
4 usb3.2 gen1 on the IO instead of 2

So if that is worth the extra money to you, go for it

granite dirge
#

as someone who doesnt overclock uses an ethernet port, and 1 usb -a other than my front io, is it beneficial for me/

rapid kettle
#

i doubt it :P save yourself the 100$+ tbh

#

unless the USB-C is really needed for you but i doubt it

granite dirge
#

i literally have my front pannel usb c, used, 2 usb a on the front usedd aand one usb a in the rear, the ethernet cable, and an hdmi, for plugs,

#

For a GPU, if you want to get the most out of it, how important is it to not cut it's available pcie lanes in half?

#

Eg, using a pcie card in the second slot on your motherboard

young void
#

Not really important unless time is money

thin juniper
low sorrel
#

also why would you

thin juniper
young void
#

Depends on your workload and how you intend to use the gpus

low sorrel
#

fine™

thin juniper
young void
#

In some cases itll increase fps if setup appropriately

low sorrel
#

just put the capture card into the second slot

thin juniper
#

Ok

young void
# thin juniper Huh???

Can a cheap second GPU supercharge your FPS? I built a budget dual-GPU rig—RTX 3060 + Intel Arc A380—and used Lossless Scaling Frame Generation (LSFG) to boost smoothness in modern AAA games (yes, even Borderlands 4). No SLI, no NVLink—just a smart way to offload frame gen to a helper GPU on a tight budget.
We’ll cover setup, game testin...

young void

Just depends how you set it up and use it

thin juniper
#

Really interesting

wise bear
#

yes but no

young void
#

Right its not exactly that simple

thin juniper
#

But good to confirm halving the pcie lanes won't have a significant noticeable effect

young void
#

But typically not alot of loss in most things

#

Depending lmao, best to just to test or lookup your exact loads

#

if it's just rendering out on a dedicated card and you have a display piped out through, say, the igpu, there's no real perf loss because it's just piping out the image 1:1. Where you run into issues is if you've got an intermediary card handling display-out and you're doing something like, 4k120 from the gpu to the dis;play, but the intermediary is capped at like, 4k60 no hdr/vrr.

shell void

minimal performance loss for gaming

Kiiiiiinda hoping that if things become better off, I'll be able to get two and put them in RAID 0

smoky orbit

thin juniper

#

But, probably won't work

merry stirrup
#

raid 0 is silly

civic reef
#

Though tbh
Most realistic use-case is them as two separate drives

#

RAID 0 is kinda, well, risky

merry stirrup
#

raid 1? Z2?

civic reef
#

I'd only do RAID 5 or better tbh

civic reef
#

Okay yeah maaaaybe only one of them, $160 is a tad much tbh

#

I'd be more comfortable spending that remaining 160 (and little extra) on 3x 1-2TB drives in RAID 5

merry stirrup
#

parity is good yes meow

civic reef
#

I wasn't really considering RAID 0, it was just a little suggestion for the two drives

#

Meh this is only if I get to go back home and not worry both the PC getting bombed again

With my salary I can afford one drive a month!!!!!!

I havent ran alot yet to sub to hwbot but trying to learn

basically buy hardware and do benchmarks

that’s the method

#

guess who just bought hardware to do benchmarks

#

this guy

cosmic gazelle
#

floppa do you just add 3dmark to benchmate to be able to sub

merry stirrup
#

you don’t need benchmate for it which is why it’s not in benchmate

cosmic gazelle
#

oh

brave panther
#

3dmark is its own thing

merry stirrup
#

3dmark has its own validation and anticheat and whatnot

#

the other popular benches in benchmate do not

cosmic gazelle
#

but how to upload result to hwbot

merry stirrup
#

you click the submit result button and fill it out??

cosmic gazelle
#

oh

#

maybe i need the non demo hehe

Whats system info? Is that a seperate app?

pretty sure they even have a submit to hwbot button

oh cool

the memory is stable as far right as the afterburner slider goes… can I do something in the vbios about that

merry stirrup

use cheat engine to go past the limit

cosmic gazelle

i’ll have to look into that

merry stirrup

you probably know how to use cheat engine, literal same premise as whatever else you’ve used it for

I gotta decide when I’m gonna get my 2080Ti’s

I could get em now but it would technically be more responsible to wait a couple weeks lmfao but

shell void
#

u gonna get chineseum 22GB blower cards?

turbid locust
#

yes

shell void
#

blower is clutch for multi gpu because youre not choking the other cards

steel stream

based

smoky orbit
shell void
#

iirc Mark said that he has his Pro 6000 Blackwell Workstation cards limited to 300W because they choke eachother at 600W

#

the blower MaxQ variant makes more sense for multigpu

turbid locust
#

Blower 3090s exist but eBay sellers want $1,100 each lmfao

smoky orbit
shell void
#

it would probably be fine if they didnt cheap out with the TIM and use an aggressive fan profile

#

the p6000 bw uses toothpaste instead of liquid metal like the 5090fe

shell void
#

so it runs significantly hotter even though it should run cooler

turbid locust
#

every gpu without PTM pisses me off

steel stream
#

idk whats on my 5070 ti

#

too lazy to check

shell void
steel stream
#

yeah

shell void
#

i have no idea what it uses but the temps are surprisingly good considering the mediocre looking heatsink and quiet fan profile

steel stream
#

good enough for me lol

shell void
#

yeah it's a cozy gpu

#

sometimes i wish i had just kept my gaming trio 5070Ti instead of spending 3.5x as much on a 5090

#

hopefully i can get some money back when i sell or trade it in later

steel stream
#

ill trade you

#

1 for 1

shell void
#

i dont appreciate the inefficiency of RTX VSR

#

a 5090 will use like 4x as much power to output the same image quality as a 5050

steel stream
#

gotta talk to Mark and get that fixed

goddamit mark get on it

ur gonna get the 13900KS and its gonna be perfectly functional and im gonna mald a little

Not that anyone cares, but I'd like to review my new work laptop HP elitebook 6 Gli 14"

HP track pads so fucking ass holy shit it 2026 how are they still this bad feeling

but i dont plan to do anything hardware related until nova lake so meh

shell void
#

my 14900K PC has to be rebooted every so often because it starts to behave weirdly, it's not rock solid stable

#

idk if it's the cpu or the board, and i don't have any interest in spending money to find out

#

i dropped the cpu down a flight of wooden stairs so it is what it is at this point

topaz veldt
shell void
#

600W CPU in a tiny case

#

but questionable practicality due to SF1000 being the peak of SFF PSUs

smoky orbit
shell void
#

im imagining 6090 as 800W minimum because 5090 is already happy to chill there and power density only goes up

#

unless they lower the voltage limit to 1.0v or something to maintain the 600W envelope

#

but youll probably want/need a normal sized 1600W PC to tune and benchmark with a 52c NVL CPU and 6090

topaz veldt
shell void
#

that's news to me, i don't really follow the SFF market

#

i thought SF1000 was the bee's kneecaps

topaz veldt
#

It is but there are some other A+ 1200 and 1300

smoky orbit
shell void
#

it would be nice if an OEM managed to put out a high quality 1600W 120v SFF PSU

#

i think something like that would come out as 240v exclusive first though

shell void
# smoky orbit

epyc cpus are typically 350W so this doesnt surprise me

#

nova lake 52 core can peak at 750W if you have decent cooling

smoky orbit
shell void
#

these boards are expecting to be installed in a rack case with high airflow

#

that pitiful vrm will probably choke if you can put a 500W CPU in it inside of a normal ATX case

smoky orbit
#

Yeah, but still technically doable

shell void
#

im sure at least someone will make a mITX Z990 board

#

im hoping that asus will make a z990 gene because mATX is king

smoky orbit
shell void
#

as we speak my foot is resting on my computer because it's a giant fulltower steel case

shell void
#

id like to downsize to mATX if posssible but i plan to get the 52 core nova lake flagship

merry stirrup
#

are you going to get both

shell void
#

both? wym?

#

i only plan to build one pc

#

52 core nova lake flagship with bllc

merry stirrup
#

bLLC+52c

merry stirrup
shell void
#

ah yeah all of the dual compute tile SKUs have bLLC

merry stirrup
#

oh shi okie

shell void
#

there are no cheaper dual tile variants

merry stirrup
#

sounds good then i only have to buy one sku

shell void
#

theyre going to be expensive and they don't have a classic name

#

theyre not ultra 9 or anything at this point, theyre their own thing that's psuedo hedt

merry stirrup
#

ah i see

shell void
#

they have a unique "DX" suffix

#

Core Ultra 495DX or something

merry stirrup
#

feel like that’s reasonable

shell void
#

im expecting $1000 flat

merry stirrup
#

idk intel might want to charge more for a chip that claps up the 9950x3d2

shell void
#

idk 270K is arguably a better CPU than the 9950X and it's only $300-350

merry stirrup
#

fair

shell void
#

it looks like intel is going to be aggressive next gen

#

they have a 6p12e 108MB bLLC SKU lined up

#

but whatever even if it's $1500 ill still want it

#

i only upgrade CPUs every 2-3 years typically so it's not a big deal

merry stirrup
#

i mean i just buy every platform

nova lake 10K+ MT/s gear 2 daily might actually be possible

merry stirrup

i mean the 285K is reusing the IMC they intended to use with Meteor Lake so having something three generations newer do 10K+ is likely

if it was just the best in everything it would be a different story, but youre paying like $5000 for an entry level HEDT platform that genuinely sucks in games

merry stirrup

ill have to figure out wat bios i had and re do it

i think we'll move onto g4 standard with late gen ddr6

maybe with 12k+ standard yeah

we don't know how they'll be branded yet, but they use the "DX" suffix

it might be Core Extreme 495DX or something

dual extreme is hard
