[dense oracle]

good or bad wow

[late atlas]

MSI MEG Z790 GODLIKE MAX EATX LGA1700 Motherboard @dense oracle

Closest thing to gold

[late atlas]

Both, it's definitely a very high performing CPU with a lot of strong CPUs, it's just known to be power hungry but since you're building quite a baller pc I don't think your psu will have an issue

I have a 14700k myself

[brisk jolt]

https://tenor.com/view/rumpelstiltskin-shrek-slide-in-slide-gif-2431866412318140482

the 270K owners coming in to destroy both:

[late atlas]

Yeah

Well the 270k plus is an amazing CPU for $350

And of course outperforms both

But if they already have a 14900ks then that's that

[brisk jolt]

imagine not being able to grab a 270K for msrp

[late atlas]

Are they that bad?

Let me check how much they are here

£290, that's fucking insane

[brisk jolt]

I can grab one for 450 SGD taxes included which is MSRP sooooo

[late atlas]

Dude I genuinely might switch

[late atlas]

I got it here for £290 and that's taxes included as well

[brisk jolt]

I’d get one with an aorus master but im not fully invested considering nvl is close

[late atlas]

I'm just looking at comparisons between the 270k plus and 14700k to see how much id gain, but I'm genuinely considering pressing buy

Because I could repurpose my 14700k

Or sell it to a friend

[brisk jolt]

im selling my entire 265k build next week

[sharp heart]

its above msrp like everywhere besides na im pretty sure

[late atlas]

What are the specs and how much

[late atlas]

And UK

[brisk jolt]

b860i 265k 32gb A die ive yet to tune and a 2tb 970evoplus

all for 1k sgd

[late atlas]

What's the GPU or did I not read it correctly

Or there's no GPU

[brisk jolt]

im also bundling him a assassin 4 VC, maybe a portable monitor if he wants but idts

nah im not bundling him a card

[late atlas]

Oh so you've already sold it or like planned on who you're selling it to?

[sharp heart]

actually 307€ in germany, its just 335€ here

i retract my statement

[brisk jolt]

planned

[late atlas]

Ah I see

[late atlas]

Grrr

It's not bad tho for what the CPU can do

[brisk jolt]

I just need to find out what this ram can do since ive basically hit the board’s capabilities

[late atlas]

Eh the more I look at it, the 270k plus and 14700k are pretty similar

[late atlas]

Keep at it and you will

[brisk jolt]

nah i havent even started

[late atlas]

Then you better start

[brisk jolt]

i have exactly 7 days and it at most takes 1

[late atlas]

Yeah this is the same thing with like doing homework right, the sooner you get it done the more time you have with a peace of mind knowing it's out of the way

[dense oracle]

I’ve already got the PSU
The MEG Ai1600T

Closest thing I found to gold and got it for only 300

[brisk jolt]

1 day 90% of it is literally stability testing

[late atlas]

You really like gold don't you

[brisk jolt]

i already know 2 factors of this board’s limit

[dense oracle]

I mean if I get a godlike motherboard I might as well get a 5090, just not sure how it meant to fully use it

[late atlas]

I know and I'm not doubting you but just saying if you get it done now, then you don't need to do it later

[brisk jolt]

i wanna grab me a X870E apex

[late atlas]

A godlike motherboard and a 5090 will break your budget

[dense oracle]

I do, the gold and black is clean,

My partner has a white and pink build with white and pink leaves so I’d like to have something similar just more black and gold

I don’t really have a set budget, I don’t mind going overboard with it

[late atlas]

Yeah that could be cool and cute kind of, like matching

[dense oracle]

Just don’t know how I’m meant to utilize the power of the 5090

[late atlas]

Not sure how to fully use it? Well a 5090 is a 4k gaming card so

You could just game at 4k and that would put it to good use

[brisk jolt]

just use the 5090 with a 4K240hz monitor ezpz

[late atlas]

Yeah

[brisk jolt]

you can also play 4K with a 5070ti

[late atlas]

You could but I wouldn't

[dense oracle]

I currently have a 5080 as well and play at 4k with no problems and never even get to 100% at 165hz

[late atlas]

Try playing 4k on black myth Wukong

[brisk jolt]

its 2026 theres dlss 4.5 performance looking great at 4K move on with the times unc

[late atlas]

Im sure that will get the GPU to 99% or

Or

[brisk jolt]

skill issue

[late atlas]

1 thing that always gets my 4080 super to 100% usage is Minecraft max graphics and render distance with intense shaders

Max render distance, terralith mod, biomes We've gone + shader on ultra quality

That will push your GPU

[brisk jolt]

needing multiple mods to max a GPU on any game is tbh a skill issue a 5090 will slap anything everywhere

just slap path tracing and you shall know terror

[late atlas]

Nah I mean I'm not saying you need it but I'm saying if we're trying to push a 5090 to it's limits in games then that's what I recommend

As what I mentioned is considered very GPU heavy

[dense oracle]

Damn alright 5090 it is then I can buy it now

[late atlas]

How much is this pc gonna cost damn

14900ks, 5090, 1600w psu

[brisk jolt]

i literally limited mine to reduce heat output

[late atlas]

Dude honestly it you're going gold, you only have 1 choice in ram

[late atlas]

Limited what

[late atlas]

Only 1

G skill trident z royal

[brisk jolt]

undervolted to 875mv

[late atlas]

Ah I see, heat output isn't a problem for me

[brisk jolt]

and it still performs above a 450w OC’d 5080 whilst using slightly less

[late atlas]

@dense oracle

[dense oracle]

I have G Skill 64Gb

[late atlas]

Hell yeah

[dense oracle]

Yeah thought about that one too

[brisk jolt]

the trident Z gold looks horrendous and overglorified tbh

[dense oracle]

But got a better deal with the G Skill

[late atlas]

They're going for a gold build so

[brisk jolt]

trident z is gskill

[brisk jolt]

black and gold so they could get away with black

[late atlas]

Yesh

[brisk jolt]

the tcreate has a black and yellow-ish accent

[dense oracle]

The ram has to be overkill tho

[late atlas]

I just thought of gold and defaulted to the royals

[dense oracle]

I mean it’s a big part of the build especially with the prices now lmaooo

[brisk jolt]

if so you’d be getting 2x64gb lol

[dense oracle]

that’s too overkill for my uses xd

[late atlas]

32gb is becoming the normal for gaming PCs, so 64gb can be considered overkill for gaming

With 64gb you'll be able to just run like 4/5 games at the same time lmao, and just switch between them if you want to

Not sure why you'd do that but you could

[brisk jolt]

what if you host a really big server like minecraft

[late atlas]

But why would you host that from your main rig?

I mean yes, you could do that but there's like bugs with Minecraft if you allocate too much ram to a server

[brisk jolt]

because you're the group chad

[odd sable]

no there aren't

[late atlas]

Like it's recommend to allocate 12-16gb maximum for like a 25-30 player server

[late atlas]

There is

[odd sable]

there aren't

[late atlas]

That's how I know it

[odd sable]

Java 8's GC doesn't handle large heaps great for real time applications, but its not a bug
newer GCs also behave substantially better (ZGC in particular)

[late atlas]

Mb wrong wording but yeah I've had issues with that

And have heard other people come across the same issues

Talking about Minecraft servers actually

Me and @smoky orbit are building a Minecraft server pc in July

[brisk jolt]

I do not recommend taking Reddit posts as first party sources of a problem like that which frankly makes no sense

[late atlas]

This is what I was referring to

[odd sable]

1.17 moved to Java 16, and 26.1 is on Java 25, if you are on a newer version like that you can allocate however much you want to a server and it'll be fine

[late atlas]

Yeah the server will be on 1.20.1 so it'll be fine

But last time I tried to host I think it was on 1.9

And I gave it like 20gb of ram

But it'll be different this time

[brisk jolt]

100 or bust

[odd sable]

TBF, it is a real problem with Java 8's GC for Minecraft (not just the server ofc)

[brisk jolt]

I am unaware of anything Minecraft related

[late atlas]

@odd sable have you seen this website https://setupmc.com/

[odd sable]

no

[late atlas]

Check it out, it seems really cool

Helps a lot with MC server setup

[odd sable]

i, just do it from command line

[late atlas]

Well you have to do stuff yourself with this too, it just kinda simplifies it if you get what I mean

Like you can choose on website how much ram you want to allocate, player limit and etc, and it'll write you the code that you can copy and paste

Have a look honestly, it's cool

[odd sable]

the old GC would "stop the world" for period of time perfect acceptable for a (web) server [the more common way for Java to get used], but an unacceptable amount of time for real-time applications [games]
ZGC is a newer GC, that is targeted at minimizing "stop the world" pause time, largely for rea-time applications

[turbid locust]

the entirety of the Linux CLI is understandable as a language the moment you have an anime pfp bro don’t worry about it

[topaz veldt]

Awk

[late atlas]

I'm not sure who you're referring to as my pfp is just something stolen from Pinterest

[turbid locust]

so is your pfp anime

[late atlas]

I wouldn't consider it anime

[turbid locust]

so why the FUCK would you think I’m talking about you then

[topaz veldt]

Lol

Wtf did I wake up to

[late atlas]

Because I don't know if you considered anime or not

[turbid locust]

https://tenor.com/view/calm-down-a-bit-calm-down-relax-gif-3234894596200294187

[late atlas]

Like chill out

[turbid locust]

I apologize for my outburst

[odd sable]

"stop the world": most garbage collected languages require all managed threads that can interact with on-heap objects (so, all Java threads) to be locked in a safe state during GC because it can move objects around, effectively stopping the world. This will result in a "hitch" for the running application.

[turbid locust]

morning boss I have questions

[late atlas]

To be honest last time it happened I didn't know why at first but now because I'll be doing modded Minecraft, I'll have crash assistant mod installed which should help me troubleshoot a lot of issues

[odd sable]

right, there are args for that (Xmx) and server configs for it too

[topaz veldt]

Wasn't me

[late atlas]

It's such a cool little mod

[late atlas]

Yeah yeah I've messed around with that before but I'll always accept an easier way of doing something yk

[odd sable]

crash assistant is mostly useful for end users getting the right info to modders, not modders using it directly

[late atlas]

Well yeah

But since I'll be inviting a lot of my friends, I'm sure there will be lots of issues

There's quite a wide range of PCs and locations from where they'll be connecting

There's a pc anywhere from a 1050ti to a 4090

I just hope I can optimise it enough so that even someone with a 1050ti can join, I know it's not all down to the GPU but you can imagine the rest of their system

(join and run it at least above 60fps ofc)

[late atlas]

Tbh I feel like this is your channel

I never see you in tech chat 1 but always tech chat 2

This channel has your name on it

[odd sable]

oh i read your sentence wrong, you're just making a custom modpack, yea thats basically what crash assistant is for

[late atlas]

Yes

[turbid locust]

Asked in DMs because it’s one of those conversations mfs would get upset about for no reason

[late atlas]

One thing that annoys me is oculus + embeddium needing to be together yet not working together

not always

[odd sable]

well now im upset that it wasn't asked here

[late atlas]

Honestly it's best it wasn't

I have no idea what it is but people seem to get really heated sometimes

Especially about specific brands of components

From what I've noticed

[turbid locust]

Extreme flexusations in this channel sometimes

[late atlas]

Not just in this channel

In the entire server

[odd sable]

yes, that was the point...

start the flamewar

[late atlas]

Yeah

I don't want no war

There's already multiple of those going on irl

Don't need no e-war

[odd sable]

i wanna sit on the side, eat popcorn, and poke at it

[turbid locust]

this channel is basically the entire server for me lol

[late atlas]

If you want to start beef just do what I did, talk about having an ultrawide and it'll start a war

[turbid locust]

I’m only here or #overclocking that’s it

[late atlas]

Yeah for me it's just this and 1

[odd sable]

ive heard #pilot-toast is pretty good too

[turbid locust]

nuked TC1 out of my channel list awhile ago

TC1 is just Public Chat 2

[late atlas]

TC1 Vs TC2

[late atlas]

It is what it is

[turbid locust]

5nail’s probably trying to wrangle his kids on a Sunday morning and I’m asking him about random shit

[late atlas]

I'm sure he'll reply when he can

[turbid locust]

He either replies instantly or 3-5 business days

[late atlas]

You know that's actually 1 thing i kinda have a petpeeve about, when for an example I'll message someone (usually seen this in work) at 2am but it will be something not urgent and not that important and I'm not expecting a reply for a few days because it's 2am and I get it. But then they'll complain about receiving messages at 2am

Like I even said "I'm not expecting an immediate reply, please respond whenever it is best suited for you" or something along those lines

[odd sable]

tell them its their fault they have notifs enabled during non-work hours

[late atlas]

Honestly yeah

[odd sable]

i have slack configured to silence itself outside working hours

[late atlas]

I have it set for after 11pm it just goes black and white and do not disturb

[odd sable]

oh, not my phone as a whole like that

slack specifically has settings for this

[late atlas]

Oh right

I have 2 contacts that can go through the do not disturb, just my parents

[turbid locust]

meanwhile I’ll reply instantly at 2am to something work related and they’re like “wait wtf”

[odd sable]

ive been on both sides of that

[late atlas]

I've never had that tbh, latest I've got a reply was at like midnight

[turbid locust]

I’m too locked in

[late atlas]

Although that was when we had an emergency teams meeting about something upcoming on the next day

[late atlas]

Not a bad thing

[turbid locust]

I work second shift so I basically don’t sleep lmao

anyways yall mfs into watches?

[placid blaze]

I'm not salaried but my job sometimes likes to think I am

sorry dude I'm not responding to your 10pm text unless you want to pay me 4 hours of on call

[turbid locust]

I have been since August and I’ve done objectively less work

[late atlas]

I have a nothing cmf watch

That I don't wear

[turbid locust]

hmmmm

[placid blaze]

salaried in this company opens you up to having to answer calls at all hours of the night and no thanks

[turbid locust]

My boss is the greatest dude to work with on the planet so I don’t have to worry about much

[placid blaze]

oh I love working with my boss but I've been here for almost 8 years and I've seen everything

[turbid locust]

As far as unrealistic expectations goes yk

[placid blaze]

it's not my boss as much as it's the person above her that will quite often overstep her

[turbid locust]

Luckily we’ve also got that sorted out, kind of like an unspoken respect for that stuff

The only time my boss’ boss contacts me directly is if my boss is on PTO or if it’s something super important

[placid blaze]

oh no this man has no respect for boundaries

I have had to tell him to back off before when I was so busy with 15 other things that had to be done at the same time and he was telling me to get one more thing done

very cathartic to be able to do that but there was no other way I could have handled the situation at the time

[turbid locust]

Oof yeah I could see how that would be annoying

[placid blaze]

I don't work in tech, rather I'm a catch-all admin/ops guy at a heavy equipment dealer and I'm the only one in this position, so it's all accounting, inventory, inbound & outbound calls, customer/vendor relations, logistics, supplies, inside/outside sales, and so much more

[smoky orbit]

Ohhh so it’s gonna be a server (only for mc or eventually other things too?)

[placid blaze]

so I am on the phone with a customer, there is a customer in front of me, there are two technicians waiting for me, I have 5 emails to handle and I have a webex in 5 minutes I need to be on and this guy is trying to tell me to transfer inventory now for something that could really wait until the next day

all I could muster was "can't do that right now buddy"

[topaz veldt]

That is correct

[topaz veldt]

Replied

[smoky orbit]

Nah, don’t need an anime pfp, “just” be a transfem like me

[turbid locust]

yeah that too

Linux proficiency seems to be a side effect of transitioning based on anecdotal evidence

[smoky orbit]

Facts (I haven’t even started transitioning yet )

[placid blaze]

part of the magical girl transformation sequence includes a pair of pink and blue thighhigh socks

they do look quite comfy I must say

[smoky orbit]

Nah, that’s computer science studies, a blahaj and/or cheap Amazon skirt and thigh highs as your first fem outfit

[placid blaze]

see I was under the impression that the early loadout was a giant hoodie

[turbid locust]

Is it true you can use Baja Blast as a peace offering for the Linux knowledgable trans folk

@wise bear please verify

[fervent elm]

Blahaj blast
Yed

[fringe vigil]

who is george washignton

[fervent elm]

He invented the united states

[smoky orbit]

[fringe vigil]

the worst president

[sharp heart]

wait, the "better" cores on ryzen have a worse negative curve offset?

any confirmers

[fervent elm]

X3d?

[sharp heart]

7950x

non x3d

just tuning my co for best performance

[brisk jolt]

its entirely dependent on the bin

[sharp heart]

so the core being best performing/worst performing (according to ryzen master) doesnt matter for this case?

[late atlas]

Just for MC

[smoky orbit]

Good, cause if you ever wanted to use it as a nas I would have suggested you to use another case

[topaz veldt]

I just realized

If 9950X3D2 is Dual Edition

what are Dual 9950X3D2s?

[placid blaze]

poor choices

[smoky orbit]

Dual 9950x3d2 dual edition (or 9950x3d2^(2))

[topaz veldt]

https://tenor.com/view/too-many-counting-gif-15929632

[sharp heart]

dual as in, both credit cards to pay for it

dual wielding

[sharp heart]

ig doesnt matter if im going through all the cores anyways

[pure garnet]

yeah

[brisk jolt]

“A person who thinks all the time, has nothing, except thought.”

[pure garnet]

why stop at 2

the next one could be an sp119!

The Lethal Gaming Gear LA-1 is finally making its comeback together with Pulsar as a CrazyLight release 🥳

vxTwitter / fixvx · Apr 26, 2026, 10:11 AM

[placid blaze]

my NAS was built from the bones of my old 8700k system and honestly that's way more compute than truenas/plex requires

[topaz veldt]

in some cases that is true

[late atlas]

I like the idea of building my own Nas but I also love the idea of just having the ugreen one which looks cool and is literally plug and play

[placid blaze]

fair

[late atlas]

Plus their mobile app really sells it to me

[placid blaze]

yeah my nas doesn't do anything but run plex

[late atlas]

And most importantly my mum uploads a lot so it needs to be really beginner friendly

[late atlas]

And hey if it's good enough for you then GG

[placid blaze]

still chucked a $70 used A380 in it for transcoding along with a 10g nic

[late atlas]

And your Nas is now a 1:1

The Colin edition

[pure garnet]

aside from av1 what was wrong with the 8700k igpu

[placid blaze]

av1

[pure garnet]

you store everything as av1?

[placid blaze]

not necessarily, but the a380 can also handle substantially more encoding tasks than the igpu can which is important because I have remote streams knocked down to 10mbps 1080p

[green marsh]

typical reminder than an average lowend NAS still runs on ARM CPUs, "mainstream" NAS run on 6+ year old Atom Celerons 😄

[topaz veldt]

No one wants to know what my plex server runs

[placid blaze]

windows

[topaz veldt]

It does run Windows

[steel stream]

@ mod ban this guy

https://tenor.com/view/really-man-of-your-talents-man-of-your-talents-really-talents-rogue-one-gif-14903960019993570617

[leaden dawn]

Windows and Plex, a match made in hell

[pure garnet]

separate question but do most of your clients not direct play?

[topaz veldt]

literally no issues

[pure garnet]

i think the only time i've had to transcode is when using jellyfin web

[placid blaze]

depends on the video file, I just chuck everything into the NAS and it has the horsepower to figure it out

[steel stream]

I try and force direct play 99% of the time, sometimes my movies have weird subtitles or DolbyVision profiles that make it transcode sadly

[topaz veldt]

Thats not a 5090

[placid blaze]

[topaz veldt]

5090 is the only truest way to experience media

[placid blaze]

if the file size is too large for the 10mbps I have it limited to then it's going to have to transcode it on the fly

[topaz veldt]

10 mbps 😭

[placid blaze]

only for remote streams, that's still 1080p which is enough for my users

[steel stream]

1080p :(

[placid blaze]

most stuff is 1080p :/

[steel stream]

damn

that sucks

[topaz veldt]

I redid mine in all 4K

[placid blaze]

you... upscaled 1080p sources?

please say sike

[odd sable]

see, and i just let my CPU handle transcoding if need be, it can do it in real-time no problem

[topaz veldt]

I would never download 1080p source

[placid blaze]

I mean yeah I go for 4k when I can but most stuff isn't available in 4k

[arctic bronze]

@ mod , this guy needs to also be banned

[topaz veldt]

I find most things in 4K

[steel stream]

are you mostly getting like anime or smth

[placid blaze]

well yeah

[steel stream]

yeah I mostly do movies

[arctic bronze]

I am lol, so im hitting 1080p max lmao

[arctic bronze]

If ur anike is "4k", its ai upscaled bs

[arctic bronze]

Only 1282?

[placid blaze]

1282 individual series

[arctic bronze]

Ah ok, lmao

[placid blaze]

I do have some anime in 4k but those are official BD rips/remuxes and that's only like 15-20 movies

mostly older stuff

[steel stream]

solid bitrate

[arctic bronze]

Since iv been in college the last 4 years, iv had to manually download my anime eps lol, wanna guess how may iv done

[placid blaze]

here's the actual extent of my library

[arctic bronze]

Nice, do you manually download each one?

[steel stream]

I'm at 302 movies, 16 Shows

[placid blaze]

but yeah anime isn't really produced in 4k anymore, the most they ever do is 2k and then upscale it for the 4k blu ray

[late atlas]

You guys watch movies and shows?

[placid blaze]

most TV anime is 1080p

[late atlas]

I am legit a chronic YouTube watcher, I only watch movies if I'm invited to the cinema

[arctic bronze]

I have 3554 anime ep iv manually downloaded, each ep iv manually downloaded lmao

[odd sable]

how much space does that take?

[arctic bronze]

Like 700GB

[placid blaze]

however, older stuff was produced to film and there's been a revival of older anime movies being rescanned and rereleased in 4k from film masters

[late atlas]

2 petabytes

Per film

[odd sable]

oh, so, pretty small

[arctic bronze]

Yeah anime ep tend to be tiny

[odd sable]

ive got a handful of TB

[late atlas]

Yeah I personally have an entire room of hard drives, I have a few zetabytes

[placid blaze]

do you run an AWS datacenter in your basement

[arctic bronze]

Zeta? I press E to doubt

[late atlas]

Yes of course

[steel stream]

I think my collection is 8TB

[placid blaze]

oh whew

[late atlas]

Do you guys not have a 5 mile long basement?

[late atlas]

I take off my robe and wizard hat

[placid blaze]

I like shorts! They're comfy and easy to wear!

You are not a wizard Harry

You've got me there tbh

[late atlas]

I am no wizard and I am no harry

[arctic bronze]

But you are hairy

[late atlas]

My legs are yeah

Going bald is the solution

[late atlas]

Got an average amount of body hair but legs hairy

[arctic bronze]

Same

[late atlas]

Can you imagine how long must that fucking take, going bald on your entire body

[arctic bronze]

Lmao

[late atlas]

Be there for hours

[arctic bronze]

Yeah

[late atlas]

For it to all grow back in what, a month?

[arctic bronze]

Also hella painful

[late atlas]

Yeah that too

Although I guess there's like shavers that are designed for it

I think Phillips makes a good one

[arctic bronze]

Balls gonna make me kill someone

If you wax there

[late atlas]

😭

That's the one place you don't wax, just trim OR

You can use cream

[arctic bronze]

Then you wont truly be bald

[late atlas]

As long as you're not allergic

[late atlas]

There's nut cream for it if you want the true bald experience

I'm gonna stop talking about that tho, this is tech chat

[arctic bronze]

Lol

oh yeah I remember those

weird time for processors

intel hasn't gotten their gpu division off the ground so they partnered with amd

@low sorrel apparently moza wheels can be used on real road cars, since they use the universal QR type ball bearings

[wraith steeple]

R5?

That's what we have for ours

[brisk jolt]

any moza wheel

they tried the standard R3/R5 wheel, the formula wheel and some other wheel idk

as long as its within the moza ecosystem

[cosmic gazelle]

@pure garnet gonna try and drop a last minute bid on this and see if I can get it for like 15

honestly not an absolute shitter of a card like the 550 ti was

roughly equivalent to a 1050

[green marsh]

here we had one 5090 show up at 3500 euros. By the time i finished an debate about LLMs with a coworker (who wants to have home LLM, but also does simulators in VR, so he wants a 5090, just needs to get wife on board with the spending) the 5090 was gone 😄

years ago i bought an R9 370X for like 60 euros ?

was ok for linux desktop stuff 🙂

I don't take bribes... But if I did, a cool $2m would do the trick. I'm trying to buy a 1200sqft house, you see. Just a lowly small fixer upper in West Canada for a cool $1.5m plus expenses to fix it up. I will move over my dead body.

[steel stream]

I'll have to hand you off to my associate 5nail for that one, the akn876 bribe fund is maxed out at $20

I can do it but I will have to do it in $19/yr increments

[steel stream]

let me talk to my accountant, I'll get back to you

[devout ridge]

that is actually how i killed half the memory channels on one of the CPUs in one of my servers

that's because i was shoving a motherboard into a chassis that wasn't supported though

[wraith steeple]

It's a long story

Probably spring break

[pure garnet]

I love how this film's message was basically saying "touch grass and stop being a lazy POS"

[random flame]

Well that was one interpretation of the message. Lol.

[topaz veldt]

So sick https://videocardz.com/newz/russian-chinese-irtysh-cpu-runs-the-witcher-3-at-22-38-fps-with-radeon-rx-9060-xt

[floral spear]

Can't wait to get my new IEMs

[random flame]

The real message was about a dystopian future where a single corporation ended up owning the world, just to end up destroying it and having everyone run from the problem instead of fixing it themselves.

Meanwhile, being that Wall-E and Eve were the main characters, their own story kind of is just... In there as the foreground with a different message entirely.

[floral spear]

The ending of Wall E never made sene to me

[random flame]

So the real message is barely even the environmental one we all probably think it is and that's just the backdrop. Lmao.

[floral spear]

you have thse fat morons who planted one singular plant and then they went "Ok guys its ggs we saved the world"

[random flame]

Not really. It was the start and the credits basically showed them gradually beginning to work to save the planet and restart civilization on earth again.

[civic reef]

I can pitch in $100

And their choice of 2000s and earlier standard issue weaponry

[topaz veldt]

We got GWOT M16s, M9s, AKs, Mosin Nagants even

Personally I'd advise against the influx of Syrian AKs, but that's just me

[random flame]

It runs LoongArch apparently, sooo basically Loongson's custom MIPS64-based ISA then.

[wraith steeple]

Albeit I was referring the GIF in particular

[floral spear]

I don't know how to read 🔥

[topaz veldt]

For a country/alliance so big and "great" as China/Russia isn't it weird how shitty their hardware is

[smoky orbit]

(Lack of experience)

[random flame]

^That

[topaz veldt]

They can just bribe/kidnap engineers if needed

[random flame]

Or just get insider information.

[smoky orbit]

Yes but, factories also lack experience and having engineers won’t make up with the lack of machines to manufacture said hardware or lack of experience

[civic reef]

I mean, wouldn't the relentless sanctions and sabotage be a factor in it

[topaz veldt]

They have no problem copying BMW X5s

[civic reef]

Plus, it's more profitable to make cheap, low quality stuff rather than try to make something new and innovative of their own

[smoky orbit]

Cpu manufacturing is a whole ass different game

[smoky orbit]

Yes

[civic reef]

Exactly

[topaz veldt]

Obviously, but it still makes no difference - they are no a technologically primitive country

[civic reef]

Again, it just makes more sense to produce high volume, low quality offerings

[random flame]

Well, cheap and low quality, while still a thing, they've proven they can go way beyond that if they wanted to because they do all the manufacturing and recieve anything necessary to do it because of other countries' corporate worlds investing time, funding, and resources to make it happen.

[civic reef]

Until the CCP sponsors large scale manufacturing, we won't have Shenyang Micro Devices unfortunately

[smoky orbit]

But having a fab like tsmc’s one(s) isn’t something you can just copy nor is a cpu architecture

[devout ridge]

isn't china manufacturing some lower spec RAM already?

[topaz veldt]

Obviously, but they're stuck in like 2010 technology apparently

[wraith steeple]

[gentle urchin]

TEMU RAM?

[random flame]

Pretty much, and even had a market panic recently when the stock piling started losing a lot of demand.

[devout ridge]

Nah, i mean like the RAM chips are made in china now

[smoky orbit]

Cause equipement manufacturers probably won’t sell them the latest stuff

[devout ridge]

afaik it's just ddr4, but still kinda cool

[topaz veldt]

... right, but that has never stopped them before

[civic reef]

Yeah, it's pretty much just a matter of waiting until they decide to manufacture higher end locally

.. Aka, when there's an incentive

[devout ridge]

cough

[topaz veldt]

Like dude... SMIC, one of their fabs, produces for Huawei

[smoky orbit]

Tsmc’s machines are so on the edge that there’s probably only one company able to even make them and tsmc probably has a very strong exclusivity contract with them

[topaz veldt]

Yeah I know, but what are they going to plug their H200s into?

[topaz veldt]

see above

[pure garnet]

intel buys the same machines from asml though

[devout ridge]

wdym? supermicro got caught selling full systems, not just the GPUs

[topaz veldt]

You don't need to be TSMC to make a moderately acceptable CPU

[topaz veldt]

The systems were being gutted of the GPUs

[wraith steeple]

https://tenor.com/view/thriller-michael-jackson-eating-popcorn-watching-gif-5577709

[civic reef]

China can't do anything unless they want to enter the 14nm century of prosperity

[topaz veldt]

The majority of the systems were gutted of GPUs and moved along as "normal servers" in the shipping track

[devout ridge]

Oh! iirc they can buy the CPU based systems fully legally, it's just the GPU's with strict regulations

[smoky orbit]

I meant exclusivity for the current buyers, I miss explained myself

[topaz veldt]

Either way its just wild that their own shit is so bad

[devout ridge]

Taiwan gatekeeping

[random flame]

Well they have Loongson, Zhaoxin, Huawei, and others in the country for stuff like that. The only thing holding them back is Zhaoxin's working off the back of what VIA accomplished, who was using the IP of Cyrix that they came into ownership of long time ago. Basically, they have to work off of very little available to them for anything... Well... "Original" to their country or at least highly competitive, especially given just how they all even are able to go about getting licensing or securing IP they can actually work with, funded or not.

[vestal granite]

do cows' stomach acids dissolve copper

[devout ridge]

humans' do, so i'd imagine cows would too

[vestal granite]

what if we made fake rhinos like in ace ventura pet detective and then put GPUs in it and then make a fake zoo in china to sell it to

I am on my way to microcenter for a 3rd 9950X3D2

[devout ridge]

third?

[topaz veldt]

https://tenor.com/view/sure-aham-yes-gif-26224883

[smoky orbit]

A 3rd one? Why? I missed the 2nd

[random flame]

Hell, even when I heard about Moorethreads, I was surprised at all they had a gpu design firm in their country... And then was unsurprised when we found out they were literally just making custom PowerVR-based gpus in a sense, much like Apple with their igpu designs, but without bothering with an SoC of their scale and level of integration.

[pure garnet]

they’re good

[random flame]

Admittedly, what they came out with was somewhat... Okay-ish for a first try.

[smoky orbit]

It was orders of magnitude better than that cpu

[topaz veldt]

Blah I swapped 9950X3D2s because one was SP117 and the other SP118, so I put the higher SP unit in my custom loop build... and forgot to plug the RGB cable in for the GPU again.

[vestal granite]

china really does love AI but more at a consumer level like restaurants use AI generated imagery n shit

[random flame]

I mean, Loongson's designs were based on an ISA long left in the dust by ARM and ESP32, Zhaoxin was taking a Cyrix-derived design that was made for low-power embedded devices weaker than Atom-powered ones and trying to scale it up somehow, and Huawei... Despite whatever might have been pointed out about their designs, their "cousin" in Mediatek demonstrates where Huawei's priorities have been and it's... Left them pretty much forgotten about entirely. Lol.

[wraith steeple]

Cyrix

https://tenor.com/view/starwars-obi-wan-now-thats-a-name-ive-not-heard-in-along-time-gif-11814407

[random flame]

Low-key, even if Zhaoxin has been on a roll somewhat trying to make something of that into something closer to mainstream again, I do kinda wish VIA didn't sell that IP to them.

Sure, all they did with their x86 designs were just make embedded SoCs, but like... They weren't bad either.

And at least, it would've been similar to the old Moto 68Ks being put out to pasture in a way: they still exist for those that want or need them, they just won't be mainstream anymore.

[vestal granite]

excellent conversation for me to read while eatin my sammich

[steel stream]

what's on it

[vestal granite]

picture everything at a sub shop and then thats what i put on it

[steel stream]

bro not the subway tuna fish /s

[wraith steeple]

Those Cyrix CPUs along with Socket 7/SS7 builds in general were common even well into the 2000s in the economic south. Even so much so that brand new builds were built around them even in 2002-04

[vestal granite]

red onion, lettuce, tomato, mayo, olive oil, red wine vinegar, salami, ham, provolone, olives

[random flame]

That's a lot of toppings.

Sounds really good though.

[steel stream]

I'd probs drop the olives and put spicy peppers on it but that smacks

[topaz veldt]

this is my typical sammy

[vestal granite]

thats pretty much what i made but on kaiser roll

other than missing the other slab of bread it looks good

[wraith steeple]

That's what all the compters in the internet cafes ran on too

[vestal granite]

ive been using red lettuce instead of iceberg lettuces recently and i have to say this shit holds up forever in my fridge

iceberg lettuce i gotta use pretty much all of it in a few days else it gets sad and depressing but this red leaf lettuce just exists forever in a container in my fridge

[topaz veldt]

i like shredded lettuce on sammy

you should get hydroponic butter lettuce

[vestal granite]

for me it depends cause some things the lettuce is annoying when it just all falls off the fucking sandwich

if theres no mayo to glue it down then i gotta do leafs of lettuce

[vestal granite]

this looks exactly how lettuce looks in my brain

[topaz veldt]

you just put like an ounce of water in the package and its good for like 2 weeks

how much is a stick going for now?

[topaz veldt]

do you want 6TB?

[vestal granite]

$600

[topaz veldt]

[smoky orbit]

Actually, yeah maybe not that much but yeah

[steel stream]

if they were, that would almost be my rent

[devout ridge]

I’ll take it

[smoky orbit]

Wait, what’s the capacity? (I swear if it’s an 8gb stick)

[topaz veldt]

32GB-64GB

[devout ridge]

8gb ddr4 ecc 2133 is like 25usd

[topaz veldt]

32GB is 100

[smoky orbit]

Ohhb oki, was worried for a second

[topaz veldt]

it was like $22 a year a ago

[smoky orbit]

Yeah qwq I know, I got my 16 gb kit thinking I would just upgrade later, while waiting for a sell at Canada computer qwq

Gonna hunt for old builds on fb marketplace tomorrow might find a good deal

[young void]

That moment when copilot turns itself on for on startup.. gross

[frail beacon]

No app must be given startup access
The amount of times I would install any app, and then it would enable startup for it automatically.. Windows should show a popup asking us if we want to enable it or not.

[vestal granite]

yeah a windows level "add to startup" popup like allowing administrator privileges would be cool

[frail beacon]

The only issue I see with that is that if they slowly start adding more and more stuff to it, and it would get to a vista like situation where everything asks for privileges and it starts to get annoying

[south shuttle]

i wonder what are the drawbacks when it comes to repairs

Updating an old game... I remember why this console failed xD

Can't play w/o update and the update takes a million years xD

Noted for next title to toss on the usb to ethernet

[random flame]

Lol, I thought it was ironic how a lot of the media thought it would solve the greater problem, when really it was a solution for making something memory-intensive more efficient so their excess of memory could do more... And then justify down the road more investments into adding memory later, more or less near the same scale as now.

[floral spear]

@brisk jolt hey just a quick question if I get the R3 can I get a shifter like on the long run that is compatible with the r3?

[topaz veldt]

Exactly - I had a team call when that news dropped and I was like "ok cool we can fit 3 services in the space of 2 now"

[young void]

Using ethernet on the wii u just wasnt happening i suppose, my Amazon adapter wouldn't pickup at all used my alie express one and got signal to the adapter but still didnt grab ended up just using my phones hotspot and its way faster

The odd part is the adapters work on the wii

Simagic as well afaik

anyone here had the deepcool ch270?

[floral spear]

Ch270?

[nova patrol]

yes

case

[floral spear]

Huh weird looking thing

[nova patrol]

yea pretty cheap might get it

looks a bit goofy tho i would be putting a 360 aio in it

[merry stirrup]

looks kinda like the thermaltake tower or corsair 2000d things

[nova patrol]

yea 2000d is kinda bad to work in

[merry stirrup]

yes it is

it sucks

[nova patrol]

tt towee kinda big

[merry stirrup]

its beautiful though

[nova patrol]

it looks really good tho

damn you corsair

they should make a new revision

[nova patrol]

the perfect case wouldve been the fractial terra but its so expensive

[nova patrol]

yours?

[merry stirrup]

2000D is my moms computer

[merry stirrup]

yes but no you get it

i bought it and allat but it’s my moms

[nova patrol]

right

propably not a gaming machine but how are the thermals

[merry stirrup]

it plays cod at 4K

[nova patrol]

oh and isnt it itx only

[merry stirrup]

yes

[nova patrol]

yea yikes

[merry stirrup]

good for my mom though

[nova patrol]

ch supports matx

[nova patrol]

does ur mom play?

[merry stirrup]

the gpu gets hot but i suspect it’s because its 4 years old and hasn’t been cleaned or repasted

[merry stirrup]

yeah that’s who’s playing cod on it lol

[merry stirrup]

cpu is fine, it’s on a 240 and it’s only a 5500, gpu hits 78ish but it is genuinely a gross card with no repaste or clean cause i’m lazy

[nova patrol]

as long as it's not loud

[steel stream]

quite the fit

[nova patrol]

3060ti?

[merry stirrup]

hard to get photos in it anywhere

[merry stirrup]

3070

[nova patrol]

was my 2nd guess

[merry stirrup]

it’s a solid computet

plays all of moms games ok

[nova patrol]

it would look like this

i have a aio with screen too

[merry stirrup]

pretty cool

the downside of the 2000D and that it seems is that you plug things in on the bottom

let me flip my 2000D upsidown and show why it sucks

[nova patrol]

i just noticed this case is like that too 😭😭😭

btw how much did you pay for the 2000d

[merry stirrup]

idk you can’t really see

[merry stirrup]

250 for it but with a 1070 instead of 3070 rest was the same

5500
16GB
970 Pro
1070 FE
SF600 with a noctua fan in it

[nova patrol]

250 for whole?

[merry stirrup]

some asrock itx board

[merry stirrup]

yeah whole rig

[nova patrol]

holy deal

[placid blaze]

ooh case talk

[merry stirrup]

not bad at all nah

[pure garnet]

asrock :/

[merry stirrup]

a decent pc for 250$ even with the 1070

[cosmic gazelle]

can the 5500 really do much with manual oc or pbo or is it pretty much at the limit of the bin

[merry stirrup]

with the 3070 it’s just someone’s avg pc

[nova patrol]

dominator ram and expensive psu

[merry stirrup]

yes my girlfriends does great

[cosmic gazelle]

like, >stock 5600x?

[merry stirrup]

you cannot in any scenario beat lack of cache with just a core overclock really

not within the same gen

[pure garnet]

ln2

[cosmic gazelle]

oh i forgot it has less cache

[merry stirrup]

just french on the games and what you’re doing

[cosmic gazelle]

i thought it was just a down bin

[pure garnet]

isn’t the 5500 an apu with no igpu

[merry stirrup]

some games don’t care about the cache in the first place and stock it will perform like a 5600x

[merry stirrup]

yes it’s a 5600G no g

[cosmic gazelle]

wouldn’t this make it insane for memory oc

[merry stirrup]

yes it is they do 5+ghz

my gf has 64GB of 4400 rn with hers

[pure garnet]

at the end of the day it’s am4 so any useful timing is locked down

[cosmic gazelle]

bro why tf didn’t i just buy a 5500 im just finding this out

[merry stirrup]

idk they’re 70$ too

[cosmic gazelle]

wym?

[merry stirrup]

not even expensive

[merry stirrup]

refi is like the single handed most important timing and it’s locked on am4

[pure garnet]

yeah

[merry stirrup]

just goes off clock

[cosmic gazelle]

i mean yeah but no one’s trying to run am4 apu ram frequencies in a daily config

apples and oranges

[merry stirrup]

why not

[cosmic gazelle]

i mean like your bclk 5000

[merry stirrup]

i ran 4800 4 dimm on ddr4

that was my daily config

my gf has dailied 4400 the past 2 years

[cosmic gazelle]

do you think i could do much on my 6 layer t topology x370 or is it not gonna be knowable until i try it

[merry stirrup]

oh ok

2nd one

[cosmic gazelle]

hmm

[pure garnet]

i found my mystical ddr2 dimm today

[merry stirrup]

d4 is unpredictable and i don’t have a whole lot of board experience on it

[merry stirrup]

yeah i saw that. insane bro 😭i dont even have d2

[cosmic gazelle]

is 4 sticks faster than 2 on t topology or just faster than 4 sticks on daisy chain

[merry stirrup]

2nd one

[cosmic gazelle]

ok

[pure garnet]

it’s from the computer that permanently scarred my finger

[merry stirrup]

lmao

[pure garnet]

i ran an Athlon X2 7550 with no cooler then touched it with my finger

the skin was not happy with that

[cosmic gazelle]

i think i won’t get a 5500 because im using the 2400g for a nas and the power consumption when undervolted is pretty phenomenal

and i’d rather not deal with ssh with no dgpu

[merry stirrup]

yeah my server needs a dgpu anyways so like not deep 4 me

[cosmic gazelle]

my gf agreed to build the nas this summer because it’s for her shit anyways lmao

it idles on w10 desktop at 32.5 watts from the wall

which seems pretty good for a full atx system

the oc config alone makes it jump up 7 watts at idle which is kinda nuts

[devout oxide]

windows lwk scared of linux so they started doing collabs with goated creators🥀💔🛐

i still dont know what windows has to do with any of that but alright i guess "it starts with windows"

why when I have hdr on in 2 games (resident evil 7 and 8 idk about other specific one's.) the colours and brightness look so weird? What even is hdr it had it auto turned on I got the colours fixed now after turning it off. Keep in mind the colours were only messed up in the cinematics and the main menu. I am asking cus I wanna learn thanks once again for the help guys.

[placid blaze]

good question!

[merry stirrup]

not bad. i "idle" at a full like 100w

maybe a little less, the UPS reads 150w with 2 pcs on it, one of them being the server

[placid blaze]

the best way I can describe HDR is that it makes bright scenes actually bright to your eyes instead of just white

[merry stirrup]

i have got ram usage down to 40GB on my server

nicer than the 50GB prior

[placid blaze]

the prerequisites to HDR is that your monitor needs to support it (and some monitors support HDR better than others) and it has to be turned on in both windows and in your display's OSD

[cosmic gazelle]

to be fair it’s an apu and dgpus automatically have higher consumption

but yeah i’m quite happy with the power draw

@turbid locust is the LTT desk pad worth buying? ive washed my current pad like ten million times and i want a new one

iirc you got one a few months ago

[hoary hatch]

I'm not Mac but my LTT desk pads have been fantastic

I recommend the WAN desk pad but Michael feels like a stealth desk pad

[shell void]

the honeycomb is cute

[turbid locust]

Yeah I like mine a lot

[shell void]

nope not even close LTT but good try

i am infact in the us of a

[turbid locust]

Shipping is gonna be nutty anyway

[shell void]

i will ponder getting the wan pad

[turbid locust]

It’s gonna be more expensive than any similar pad on Amazon but so far mines held up great and the size I got was the biggest they had at the time so lol

Mines also survived the washing machine like 10 times, still looks and feels like new

[pure garnet]

i’m surprised my mousepad has survived my cleaning process

i go out with dawn dish soap and a automotive brush

and scrub it awhile then hose it off

[turbid locust]

They recommend spot cleaning it but I’m lazy so I follow the delicate washing machine method lol

[merry stirrup]

yeah i may also have more hdds than you and so on

[shell void]

i tub my pads

scrub em with dawn dishsoap on a washcloth

[turbid locust]

yeah I ain’t doing allat

HOLY SHIT

I just remembered Minecraft exists

[shell void]

modern minecraft is kinda cancer with the extreme censorship

in my mind 1.4.7, 1.7.10, 1.10.2, and 1.12.2 are the best versions

[turbid locust]

what

[shell void]

it's a nanny state now brother mac

servers are forced to implement a chat filter and restrict what players are allowed to build

[turbid locust]

yeah I mean gl w that on a privately hosted server

[lilac crater]

But it looks horribly awful dude like really ugly it looked purple ish the white places were gone

[placid blaze]

you probably don't have a monitor that supports it

should be in your settings menu

[turbid locust]

And some displays that “support” it has like the shittiest implementation they could technically call HDR

imo HDR looks like shit on anything that’s not OLED

[placid blaze]

speaking personally, even some OLEDs

like, my monitors have HDR I guess but it's nothing crazy

[turbid locust]

You also have to calibrate it properly

If you just flip the HDR switch in windows and do nothing else it’s going to look like shit, especially SDR content

[placid blaze]

Yeah I tried going through that calibration process but I don't think it did much

Though the HDR on my Bravia OLED TV is incredible so I don't get it I guess

[turbid locust]

just the windows HDR calibration tool is all you need

you also have to know what it’s meant to look like/what your display can actually do

[placid blaze]

oh well that would have helped a lot

[shell void]

dealing with HDR in windows kinda sucks, and OLED monitors pale in comparison to OLED TVs when it comes to brightness

youve probably been spoiled by the simpler and better HDR experience on your Bravia

[placid blaze]

that's probably it

anyways these are my monitors

Now when I use my 9950X3D system it feels slow

[turbid locust]

5nail shut the actual fuck up

[topaz veldt]

🙂

[shell void]

oof 4090 only does 1440p60 in the assassins creed black flag remake

time to play a remaster of a 2013 game at 1080p with framegen on a 2022 flagship gpu

[topaz veldt]

Are people still using 4090s?

[indigo walrus]

I sure hope so. They're only 2.5 years old... would be a waste if people were throwing them away already.

[placid blaze]

the performance delta between a 4090 and 5090 isn't incredibly huge or anything

inb4 "it depends" fuck off

[shell void]

it does infact depend though

most of the time it’s 35%, but sometimes it’s 50%, and in VR gaming specifically it can be upwards of 2x because that loves memory bandwidth

[turbid locust]

Like 4090 to 5090 is more valid of an upgrade than 4080 to 5080 is

So like, the margin is definitely there

[young void]

Never really thought about it

Just get the best you can/want and send it

[turbid locust]

I’m just saying the 90 class cards got double the generational uplift than the 80 class did

[topaz veldt]

4090 is just so.. old

do latest drivers even support it?

[shell void]

this is cool i respect this

ive never liked how the back of boards are stabby

[topaz veldt]

$1k for two 9950X3D used sound good?

[shell void]

XD

[shell void]

sounds good to me to get them out in one swoop

[young void]

I paid 529 for mine few weeks ago solid deal (and thats the lowest I could find within the week)

[shell void]

im seeing $570 on eBay which i guess would be more like $500 locally without shipping or ebay fees so $1000 for two sounds good

[topaz veldt]

Yep ebay fees are 12-13%

and shipping to one guy

[shell void]

get 'er done

[young void]

Could probs get a bit more unless youre locked in

[fervent chasm]

i love shopping rewards

[shell void]

not worth stressing over $20 imo

getting both out in one go for a good price is nice

[fervent chasm]

thats like $90 in rewards and i didnt spend a penny

[young void]

Should sell quick

[fervent chasm]

i wish the fees werent so high on eBay

[shell void]

newegg bundles are goofy sometimes

who's buying a 9950X3D2 and OLED ram, but a low end motherboard?

[fervent chasm]

someone who cares about the looks and good performance but not the specs of the motherboard ig

[shell void]

but having the giant "TUF GAMING" on the IO cover takes away from looksmaxx points

[fervent chasm]

i kinda like that board, but yah the giant letters are kinda ugly

i dig the all black

[shell void]

it would be clean without the font

[topaz veldt]

yeah I just avoid ebay

[fervent chasm]

wait does that mean eBay prices are generally inflated then to cover the fee?

[topaz veldt]

[young void]

Exactly, not always but usually

[shell void]

snail i think you need a 2x32GB 8000 kit of Vcolor OLED ram for your X870E Glacial

oh the white one is OOS rip

[topaz veldt]

I have a fatty ram kit coming tomorrow

[shell void]

[fervent chasm]

i feel like no one who actually cares about ram temps would use that kit that has the oled display

who is the target audience

[shell void]

i have no idea because youre right

if you care about ram temps then you have a fan on your ram and you can't see it anyway

or youre waterblocking it if youre a psychopath

[fervent chasm]

is there a realistically reachable point where going too low in temps makes performance worse?

[young void]

👀 whats the specs?

[shell void]

but the idea of having a $1000 beauty EATX board and ram with an OLED screen on it inside of a fractal north tucked away in a living room is amusing to me

[placid blaze]

liquid nitrogen I suppose would get you there

[shell void]

some components don't like cold such as storage

but for cpu/gpu/ram the actual chips love being cold

subzero would be ideal if it could be maintained without condensation

[fervent chasm]

is the reason they (storage) dont like it because of the condensation like you mentioned or something else?

I know the condensation is an issue with CPU and whatnot because well, you dont want the mobo getting wet

Ive seen enough of the ltt videos to get an idea lol

[shell void]

most consumer SSDs just get cranky subzero regardless of condensation

i dont know the technical reasons for it

CPU and GPU cores want to be as cold as possible because it reduces voltage leak (improves clock at X voltage), and also makes it safer to run higher voltage

[young void]

Smth smth interference for the top half

Contracting metal temp things

Warpage maybe, idk the term in this instance

[lilac crater]

it say's that it does however it looks legit so awful strange is there something wrong with tehg ame perhaps then (it got fixed the colours) but I am curious like because I want to learn and why not hence why I asked

[placid blaze]

okay so I pulled up the specs of your monitor

and it's definitely your monitor

of course HDR on a VA panel would look bad

I just wouldn't bother with HDR in your case

[indigo walrus]

As @placid blaze said above, your monitor is not capable of HDR no matter what the manufacturer claims.

Ideally, the monitor needs to support DisplayHDR1000 to be adequately capable of HDR content. Anything under HDR1000 is a crapshoot, and anything under HDR600 simply should never be allowed to be called HDR at all.

Lol tried to help my wife fix her Facebook bug (when you tap the comments it closses out) so i cleared data on my phone to test and now my phone also closes upon tapping comments

Sometimes if one opens the video first comments can be viewed hrmm. Tapping to view some videos makes them dissapear and dont open at all very odd

[shell void]

VA is more well-suited to HDR than IPS is, but 250nits peak without local dimming is barely adequate for SDR, let alone HDR

[young void]

Reinstall doesnt fix

[placid blaze]

claude rn

[shell void]

que is el problema?

[young void]

Facebook on mobile

If one clears data the bug appears or fresh installs (not sure how my lady triggered it)

If youre scrolling home feed and tap a video it closes, or opening comments. Shorts tab seems ineffected

[shell void]

oh i cannot assist with this

[young void]

They gotta fix this one dont think its our end

[shell void]

my phone is my normie device, i just buy an iphone and cope when things are buggy until theyre resolved

[devout ridge]

i have the dev beta, i embrace the bugginess

[low sorrel]

@turbid locust racism

[turbid locust]

Haven’t played that game in like a month

[shell void]

i thought u were diamond twin

[low sorrel]

i fell off

[shell void]

i havent played val in several months and i havent had any interest in picking it back up

[low sorrel]

reset got me hard

[shell void]

the game just gets worse every episode

[merry stirrup]

true

[trim agate]

Should’ve locked in

[cosmic gazelle]

i’m thinking about buying an a10-9700 and trying to blow it up but hwbot has next to no listings for it and it’s making me sad

[fervent chasm]

me in ow

i hit master and then i cant even hold diamond after the reset

[shell void]

that means you have an easy path to getting #1 on hwbot

[cosmic gazelle]

no because oneofthe only listings is a mod on like ln2 or custom water lmao

Yo is the 330$ oled real or something else?

[floral spear]

Im getting the R3

[brisk jolt]

havent played in 3 months and im chillin

[floral spear]

I heard theres a 3rd shifter so im gonnw get that when im more interested in AC

3rd pedal*

[brisk jolt]

3rd pedal? no

[gloomy vault]

yea im using it

[floral spear]

After the third pedal im going to get the h shifter

[brisk jolt]

theres only gas and brake from moza default

[floral spear]

?

[brisk jolt]

yeah you need to buy that separately

it doesnt come default in any bundle

[floral spear]

Yea... that's what I said...

[brisk jolt]

im planning to get that clutch and the turtlebeach velocity one when FH6 comes out

[brisk jolt]

saying 3rd shifter is confusing lol

[floral spear]

I did say this after

[brisk jolt]

you can mean anything including DCT which is standard, H-Pattern and Sequential

you said 3rd pedal but the way you said it was like you thinking it came default in the R3

[floral spear]

But yea im planning to get the h shifter after that

I just hope its enough for assetto corse and touge racing

[hoary hatch]

Honestly might as well get 2 if you're paying the shipping price
Wan + stealth or something

Also recommend a scribe driver

[lilac crater]

But the windows part did say it though? Sorry if I come across stubborn or annoying just a little confused. Cus he showed me there thet it did support I went to the same one as his page.

[indigo walrus]

Yes, sure, Windows and your monitor handshook to say "yes, this monitor supports HDR" - that is not the issue.

[lilac crater]

Hey man long time no see you might not remember me but I do remember you how have you been

[indigo walrus]

The issue is that not all monitors that say they support HDR are actually capable of displaying it properly.

[lilac crater]

Oof

[lilac crater]

Isn’t this like bad for the company as people can file a lawsuit?

I’m actually serious cus aren’t they lying then?

[indigo walrus]

It's like being sold a Minivan by a car dealership that "can tow a two ton boat." Like, sure, on paper, with a towing package, the minivan can do this, but you'll be replacing the transmission monthly...

[hoary hatch]

NGL I feel bad about playing this game in SDR

[lilac crater]

Oof so basically they didn’t lie but they are just very sneaky

Cus the screen did work but the colours just looked so awful like legit

[indigo walrus]

Unless there's a law that supports this, good luck. Manufacturers have been advertising X hours of battery life in laptops for literally 25+ years that are unattainable, even if you seemingly follow their testing methods.

[lilac crater]

It looked like someone went into my monitor and messed around with the cables or something haha

[indigo walrus]

Correct. Just because the monitor "supports" an HDR signal does not mean it will look good.

[lilac crater]

Kirashi who do I text to become friends with

[lilac crater]

All my family and friends don’t share this techninterest

However I don’t know a lot how or where do you learn these stuff and I mean outside of google

Sometimes ya’ll know the answer straight away without researching it

[indigo walrus]

It's like all those cheap "4K projectors" - legally, they do in fact support receiving a 4K video signal from a Bluray player, but if they can only output a 720p signal, they're not really a 4K projector.
