Startech makes awwesome parts that nobody else does.

But you pay out the nose for the fact it's super niche

[young void]

Think I have a sata molex adapter around here somewhere for yee old xboxs (the alie express ones work fine to)

[cosmic gazelle]

apparently this 970 board has a selection for 800, 1066, 1333, 1600, 1866, 2133, and 2400

which isn't as granular as intel unfortunately but is not horrible

[pure garnet]

i have an fx-8300

[smoky orbit]

that's the weirdest feature presentation for a mobo I ever saw

[indigo walrus]

"Are you for serial right now?" 🤣

[green marsh]

normal gigabyte box of the era

[smoky orbit]

damn, never had the pleasure of withnessing this irl

[pure garnet]

@cosmic gazelle https://www.asus.com/motherboards-components/motherboards/business/m5a78lm_lx3_plus/

peep the powerhouse board

[cosmic gazelle]

lmao

does it not throttle with the 8300?

[pure garnet]

i also have a 2x8 unknown kit of ram

[cosmic gazelle]

i have a relatively high quality corsair kit that is rated for 1333 and i wanna see if i can get it to do 2133

[steel stream]

must be worth $500

[smoky orbit]

reminds me that I have a fatal1ty an9 32x

(with it's "sound card dongle")

[green marsh]

or an older board

[pure garnet]

i got this too

was cleaning out my room yesterday and found actual ewaste

[green marsh]

9-10 euros a piece from aliexpress

[steel stream]

straight to the bin

[smoky orbit]

this one^

[cosmic gazelle]

i wonder if i'll get 5ghz on the stock cooler lmao

[green marsh]

time to bring out 775 boards i guess

[cosmic gazelle]

there's not a ton of am3 coolers on the market that are good value

[green marsh]

and the dumbest of them

[green marsh]

Noctua

[pure garnet]

am4 stock coolers mount just fine

do with this what you will

[smoky orbit]

(Actual ewaste, got two of them)

[pure garnet]

the wraith prism at least

[smoky orbit]

[cosmic gazelle]

oh hey i have a wraith stealth lying around

[smoky orbit]

[cosmic gazelle]

that's really helpful thanks

[pure garnet]

it may just be be the prism

because it shares the latch

[cosmic gazelle]

are they not exactly the same

[cosmic gazelle]

oh i didn't know the stealth doesn't use clips

i've never used it

[pure garnet]

hold on i can just measure for you

i got am3 literally right here

[steel stream]

we need to start destroying ewaste

[smoky orbit]

Am2 coolers fit too (no idea about the z height compatibility tho)

[cosmic gazelle]

worst case scenario i just buy this jawn

[pure garnet]

the screw spacing isn't the same but the hooks are the same

[cosmic gazelle]

eh that's ok we'll just see how hot it runs with the stock cooler

[pure garnet]

i mean i used an 8300 on this

[cosmic gazelle]

BZ did 5.6 on like a cheap ass basic air cooler

[floral spear]

7$ well spent

[green marsh]

i have an AM2 compatible cooler, but it would break the motherboard in half i suspect

[civic reef]

Would it be right to recommend a 2070 over an RX 6600

Because of DLSS

Both are the same price

[smoky orbit]

meh, not my way of thinking, but I can understand why seomeone would

[cosmic gazelle]

what the hell is this 😭

[civic reef]

Tbh you'll need it (upscaling) with either card in 2026 to play more demanding titles

[smoky orbit]

twue

[green marsh]

Thermalrigth TRUE copper. this one lost it's shine tho

[cosmic gazelle]

thats so sick actually

[smoky orbit]

[green marsh]

picture of a new one from internet

[cosmic gazelle]

I wonder how much heat it can passively dissipate

[green marsh]

well it's copper and 1.5 decade does it's thing

[smoky orbit]

that weird chipset+vrm cooler x3

[green marsh]

CPU you mean. that was for socket 775

[green marsh]

the cooler is on the 775 socket

[smoky orbit]

ohhhh

[south shuttle]

don’t try to clean it btw

if you remove the protective corrosion it’ll corrode even faster without any sort of coating

[green marsh]

and yes, the chipset heatsinks were big on highend boards back then, the socket gets lost in comparison

i mean mdoern VRM coolers ain't small, but the socket got way bigger

[cosmic gazelle]

@pure garnet do I use this for the vine

[pure garnet]

yes

[smoky orbit]

I beg you to do it

[green marsh]

@topaz veldt Anthropic and Microsoft competing on who murders their own AI service faster

[topaz veldt]

yeesh

[cosmic gazelle]

@pure garnet i'm actually going with the alibaba special lmao

[smoky orbit]

when is it gonna arrive? hopefully this decade

[cosmic gazelle]

says may 8-18

[smoky orbit]

ohhhh, not that bad

[cosmic gazelle]

@smoky orbit actually looks like it could be pretty decent. I might compare it against a run of the mill thermalright cooler to see if its that different

it is only 90mm but if it's genuinely 6 heat pipes that's pretty cool

[smoky orbit]

wait, that's actually not that dumb

[cosmic gazelle]

it’s not argb just permanent rainbow which is annoying lmao

[smoky orbit]

is your answer

[pure garnet]

mini led

[low sorrel]

Aw

[pure garnet]

https://www.amazon.com/KOORUI-Adaptive-Sync-Compatible-2560x1440-DisplayPort/dp/B0CGMC4MP1

you need a new gpu more than a new monitor

[low sorrel]

Can I buy it and sue them for a qd-oled monitor because it says it on the listing

[devout ridge]

sue them in small claims court

[steel stream]

upgrade your GPU first

[low sorrel]

neverrrr

in fact im going to go a buy a new cpu now

[devout ridge]

jerry, i will rob you of your 3060 to force you to upgrade

[low sorrel]

ill just buy another one

[pure garnet]

jerry will torture himself with a 3060 and be the butt end of the joke instead of just getting a 5070

[devout ridge]

i'll rob you again, i will keep robbing you of your 3060's until you upgrade

[low sorrel]

a friend is offering me a 7800x3d for 400 bucks cad

ill stab you 🔪

[devout ridge]

buy it, resell it, and get a better GPU

[pure garnet]

that's not even a deal lmfao

you can buy them new for $320 us

that's only -$20

[steel stream]

don't do it

[low sorrel]

thats 20 bucks

[steel stream]

your GPU is the limiting factor rn

[indigo walrus]

Neither. It's a mystery product being sold by a third party seller called "HYPER MEGA ELECTRONICS" that Best Buy will of course waive all legal responsibility for any errors in their product listings because what consumer protection laws?

[steel stream]

wait aren't you on AM4 anyways

[pure garnet]

yeah

jerry is just jerry

[low sorrel]

ok but the rage bait @thecoopatroopa

jerry don't ever come to michigan

[low sorrel]

[devout ridge]

buy the 7800x3d and do this to it, jerry

[steel stream]

imma slime your ass

[cosmic gazelle]

XD

[low sorrel]

how much does the lead sell for

Eat to many mcgriddles?

you may actually qualify for some program

how does one get denied from mcdonalds

[young void]

You know going in dressed as Ronald himself shows good initiative but i dont think it helps

[cosmic gazelle]

apply to Amazon, they have a high enough turnover rate that they literally cannot afford to turn a single applicant down because they’re running out of potential employees in the entire country

[low sorrel]

no car

[cosmic gazelle]

take the bus brah

[young void]

Im applying at places to, but giving my lady a chance to get back out there. She wants to be my sugar momma xD (i cannot type to save my life today)

[steel stream]

hell yeah

[low sorrel]

not a single one

well other then in delta

but thats like an hr drive each way

idk how long it would be on the bus

but probably much longer

[steel stream]

damn

[low sorrel]

guys i don't think im qualifed to be senior SVP at amazon

[steel stream]

you miss 100% of the shots you don't take Jerry

[low sorrel]

hear me out

[low sorrel]

oh shit the locations aren't even that far from my house

[smoky orbit]

Wait, that’s not that bad

[steel stream]

shoot your shot king

[young void]

Tossing an offer cant hurt

[low sorrel]

holy shit they pay 24-31 an hr?

no qualifications needed?

[spiral quarry]

Don’t hurt yourself try 🙂 my friend was pretty happy doing it

Till he left to pursue his career. Bright side I got killer deals before his last day

[low sorrel]

bruh I was talking about computer engineering with a bunch of friends in tech and they said "oh you're in canada? your fucked. i can't help you." @steel stream

[gentle urchin]

Does it pay more than working for LTT?

[pure garnet]

i would assume no

[granite dirge]

Welp we're getting an interesting colab at work later this year

Ikea x Xbox. In October

[low sorrel]

why is it in catalan

[pallid marsh]

Vpn

[gentle urchin]

Damn, didn't know you worked at heccin' Ikea!?! 👑🇸🇪

[granite dirge]

Almost 6 months

[gentle urchin]

fun? do you get free meat balls?

[low sorrel]

off

[granite dirge]

3$ shift meals. By my last break for the day is almost over

[steel stream]

is the market terrible for comp e in canada?

[low sorrel]

yes

[steel stream]

damn

[low sorrel]

well

picture the US but without any of the big companies

[steel stream]

i guess they might be more CS focused? At least for my school, I've been focusing a lot more on electrical engineering

[low sorrel]

I also live in like the most over educated city in the world

[steel stream]

idk I hate the CS portion of my degree

[low sorrel]

god damn good education

[steel stream]

fr fr

[low sorrel]

why can't the world be filled with jorjs

[steel stream]

you don't want that

If you aren't big on coding Jerry, I would switch to EE, or keep doing EE but do hella projects/clubs that are more EE/hardware/circuitry related

[low sorrel]

what if i swtich to AE

complete 360

[teal orbit]

More like a 270

[indigo walrus]

I've found it largely depends on how much critical thinking skills you bring to the table. But even then, the after-education job market up here is just as dire as everywhere else right now. It's very rush to the bottom.

[steel stream]

you could, but it's a challenging degree

[pure garnet]

anything engineered by jerry is going to be scary

[low sorrel]

im going to be the person who worked on the mcas system for the 737

[low sorrel]

wait isn't a 360 just computer engineering

[steel stream]

yeah

not a great start jerry

[low sorrel]

either that or im going to sell my soul to lockheed martin

[steel stream]

maybe switch to business

[steel stream]

$300K is $300K

[teal orbit]

Yes

oops I was late

[low sorrel]

also isn't 270 just 90\

[steel stream]

no

[teal orbit]

90 in the other direction I suppose if you count only by displacement and not distance traveled

[steel stream]

yeah I suppose so

[young void]

Mathematical perception one sais

[wraith steeple]

I have that shit brunt into my head

[pure garnet]

you are not an engineer

[wraith steeple]

It's for all engineering students

[teal orbit]

I think that's for all high school students

[wraith steeple]

Were you to believe me that I still have all the trig proofs memorised?

[steel stream]

I do not, but I do have the unit circle memorized

[low sorrel]

I can't remember the unit circle I have to draw it out every time

[wraith steeple]

That is like the very first thing you do in your first month in calculus

[steel stream]

Oh I meant as I do not have them memorized, I trust you do bass lol

[low sorrel]

like i can remember how to draw it

and the values

[steel stream]

I hope you can draw a circle

[low sorrel]

but if you told me to tell you value for 225 degree i couldn't tell you

[wraith steeple]

Trig proofs and that with doing problems using unit circle values

[pure garnet]

i didn’t take algebra 2 but somehow i did fine in calculus

[steel stream]

I don’t remember the trig identities but I love using sin and cos

[low sorrel]

akn im being told im weird for having 2tb of 8k raw footage in the cloud

is this true

[pure garnet]

i couldn’t tell you what sin or cos does

we got to logarithms in algebra and i just never got it but somehow i got a b in calc

[steel stream]

What why

[young void]

Tell the other dude they're the weird one

Just jealous

[steel stream]

Fundamentally, it’s a ratio of lengths to angles

[young void]

I forgot most math formulas tbh some 11 years ago

[pure garnet]

did warship block a math sentence

[wraith steeple]

Cos - X
Sin - Y
Tan - Y/X
Cot - X/Y
CSC - 1/Y
SEC - 1/X

[young void]

I could still probs do some sequencing but thats about it

[steel stream]

Sin is the opposite length over the hypotenuse

[steel stream]

Yup I deal with this a little bit

[young void]

Its not so bad, most math if you know what to plugin is just steps/proofs

[low sorrel]

The school gives me 2tb of cloud storage I'm going to use 2tb of cloud storage

[steel stream]

How do you have this much 8K raw footage though

That’s the more confusing part

[low sorrel]

Video project in grade 9

They gave us 8k cameras

[steel stream]

What the fuck

[teal orbit]

How did you have an 8k camera

That's wild

[young void]

Notes jerry went to the very nice schools lol

[low sorrel]

See they ran out of normal cameras

[young void]

Ofc let them get the spare 8ks

[steel stream]

Give the 9th graders 8Ks

[low sorrel]

So they had to take one from the special class meant for people that are going into film

[low sorrel]

Nah I was the only one

[pure garnet]

all that school budget and none of it stuck with you

[young void]

Jokes aside thats pretty cool though

[steel stream]

Encode that shit man

[teal orbit]

erm its already encoded 🤓

[low sorrel]

But it's funny

[steel stream]

I get the bit, I understand, but like eh

[gentle urchin]

Sinus
Cosinus
Tangens
Cotangens
Sekant
Cosekant

[low sorrel]

So I got my notes here

[teal orbit]

How much are you spending to store that 8k footage in the cloud?

[low sorrel]

My school project here

[low sorrel]

Free

[wraith steeple]

tan-¹(x) - cot(x)
cos-¹(x) - sec(x)
sin-¹(x) - csc(x)

[low sorrel]

And my 2tb 8k raw footage here

[teal orbit]

How

[low sorrel]

How much the school is paying?

Fuck if I know

[steel stream]

How much video is it? As in length

[teal orbit]

Oh wait is this on a school account

[low sorrel]

I have no clue

It's broken up into a bunch of takes and shots

[steel stream]

Just compress that stuff down imo

[low sorrel]

I have 5gb ledt

It's plenty

[low sorrel]

The finished product was 22 minutes and length

And in total with all the takes I have about an hour

[steel stream]

All that is 2TB nearly? Damn

[low sorrel]

8k raw is alot man

It's has like a 500mb/S bit rate

[steel stream]

I know it is but I thought it would be like 5 hours or smth

Kinda baffling

[low sorrel]

Yeah the teacher told me to shoot it in 4k but when I saw that there was an 8k option

[low sorrel]

I actually had to give a downscaled copy to be accessed before the teachers mac mini was lagging decoding it

[steel stream]

I bet

My school projects were all like 1080p

[low sorrel]

We have a pretty big film industry here

So whenever they upgrade they usually send the schools shit for free or at a heavy discount

[steel stream]

All my shit was shot on iPhone ™

[pure garnet]

i think i am exploring the idea of moving to 25h2

[low sorrel]

Are you not already on 25h2

[low sorrel]

Oh wtf the steam controller requires a game to be launched via steam to use it???

[topaz veldt]

Guys - sanity check me.

Picked up a 2nd hand GSkill 96GB 6400 CL32 kit. Same kit model # I have used before. Installed it in my SFF B850-I Strix and it didn't POST for like 20 minutes. Yellow LED lit (no q-code on that). Took it apart again and put the RAM in my X870E Glacial (9950X3D w/ 48GB 8000 CL40). Put the DIMMs in A2 and B2. Code 15 as expected.... then after 10 - 15 secs..... C5 - memory initialization error.

Pulled both DIMMs, put a single DIMM in A2 or B2 (I forget) and code 15..... then POST. Removed that DIMM, put the other DIMM in.... code 15.... 2-3 secs then code C5. Put my original 48GB 8000 CL40 kit in, code 15...... POSTs....

I tried clearing the CMOS, I tried different DIMM slots. It seems to be the one DIMM. Confirmed?

[pure garnet]

i always saw c5 when my memory training failed

do you see any missing capacitors on the stick?

[vale cosmos]

hmm that has to just be for use with the steam big picture controller settings options, not just for any use?!

if not thats crazy

[low sorrel]

With steam input

[topaz veldt]

Not that I can tell no - the heatsinks are on of course

[low sorrel]

Lgtm

RMA it

[steel stream]

It seems to be the one dim yeah

[topaz veldt]

All caps are there on the perimeters

[young void]

Seems that 1 is toast, but if you feel the need to triple check toss that stick in a diffrent board solo, clear cmos record it for the seller/ebay/paypal if it c5s again you did all you could

[pure garnet]

did you try cleaning the dimm off with alcohol

[topaz veldt]

Have not tried cleaning it off yet

[pure garnet]

if no luck i'd probably try and rma the kit

[topaz veldt]

its 2nd hand

[pure garnet]

i think chips rma'd an ebay kit fine

[young void]

Checking the pins cant hurt

[topaz veldt]

I do have an amazon invoice for the same PN# but the dates don't line up

[young void]

Everything im seeing says g skill honors second hand

Just has to be the full kit (send both sticks)

[topaz veldt]

oof

hoping seller replies

[low sorrel]

Snail got scammed /j

Did you see the new arc map snail

[young void]

Is kinda weird to ship out 1 bad stick most peeps test it

But stranger things

[topaz veldt]

have not seen new map

and yeah i dont think hes trying to scam me - its all thru paypal invoice so im fine

[devout ridge]

SR channel is dead in my AV receiver… big sad

honestly might just piggy back it off my SL channel and put the surrounds in mono

better than only having a SL

[steel stream]

Damn

[devout ridge]

it’s an ancient ass receiver i got for free, so i’m not all that upset

daisy chaining with the SL speaker works just fine, and i have the surrounds in mono, so no issues with media calling for SR audio and nothing happening

[steel stream]

Stereo content 🔥

[devout ridge]

it’s essentially in 3.1 rn

stereo fronts, mono surrounds, and single channel sub

still better than stereo

[steel stream]

Eh

What about center

[devout ridge]

no center channel

[steel stream]

Imma be honest I would just take stereo lol

[devout ridge]

imma be honest, no

even if the surround channel isn’t properly utilized, it’s still cool having audio come from behind you

[steel stream]

I agree but if it’s just the SL channel it’s not worth it

[devout ridge]

the surrounds are in mono, so it’s treating it as a single surround channel

so it would be playing the same thing out of SL and SR anyways

[steel stream]

Oh ok, forgive me I read your original message wrong

Yeah if you have them just as mono then sure chain them

[devout ridge]

it’s the best i can do given the dead SR channel

it’s just bedroom surround anyways

200w sub goes

so grossly overkill for my tiny ass room, but it’s so funny

[steel stream]

Hell yeah

[devout ridge]

11in sub

it creates many wubs

i also finally set the distances on my speakers, so they’ll actually play better in time

i didn’t tune anything when i first installed everything

[steel stream]

I wanted a full AV setup at first but couldn’t do it in our apartment

Full AV is awesome

[devout ridge]

it doesn’t make sense in my space, but i did it anyways

the whole setup was free, minus the sub

but come on, who can tolerate an AV setup with no dedicated sub

it was only like 150usd used anyways

[steel stream]

Ok solid

[pure garnet]

80 gallons of water into this ai conversation and microsoft edge still won't uninstall

[low sorrel]

yesh pretty likely its that one dimm that isnt happy

[pure garnet]

attempt 900

[late owl]

Anyone own the buds pro 4? I got them for 200 but they sound a bit off. I think its the white noise throwing me off

[cosmic gazelle]

?

I realized after the 4gb stick coming with the setup I bought that I will technically have 4 4gb sticks of 3 different types and I bet you ddr3 is resilient enough that I can hit 1866 on all of em at once

[pure garnet]

trying to make a script to clean up 25h2 for it to be as clean as an ltsc install

well that's not too bad

[nova patrol]

open box? which one

[pure garnet]

it only took starting with gemini, moving to copilot, then going back to gemini

[steel stream]

Nope it’s going to explode

[cosmic gazelle]

arguably not possible

b, get a GPU compute node

[smoky orbit]

3d print said node

[devout ridge]

3d printing silicon sounds very possible

[smoky orbit]

Yeshshshs

[cosmic gazelle]

why on EARTH is copilot your next choice over claude

[pure garnet]

because i dont pay for ai

[steel stream]

Claude free is good

[pure garnet]

do i have to login

i only use the ones that work in incognito

[steel stream]

I don’t think so I can’t recall

[brisk jolt]

pretty sure u need to for claude

[devout ridge]

odds of the CPU still working?

[brisk jolt]

maybe

[steel stream]

50/50

[devout ridge]

i upgraded it from a monolithic cpu to a chiplet based one, i should get like 500% performance

[cosmic gazelle]

it either works or it doesn’t

so 50/50

[south shuttle]

85%

II. minor cosmetic damage

[devout ridge]

if i average everyone’s opinions, i have a >50% chance of success

i like those odds

[south shuttle]

if you eat the fragments your chance will increase from my side from 85% to 98%

[shell void]

just put these lil pieces back on top and youll be good

[south shuttle]

solder them together first tho

[steel stream]

Superglue and duct tape and you’ll be fine

[south shuttle]

you need something to be conductive tho 💀

internal shorts are better than no worky

[steel stream]

Nah it’ll be fine

[south shuttle]

doublesided tape is recommended

[hoary hatch]

this is why you should never update drivers

(it took like 90 seconds ill survive)

@turbid locust I just ran into a cheater in valorant lol

bro's was tracking us through smokes and walls in the replay lol

[turbid locust]

lol

[low sorrel]

there's one round

where he was tracking me through a smoke while i was shift walking

shot at me through the smoke

stopped shooting when i tucked

and started shooting at me when i moved

[turbid locust]

checks out

[low sorrel]

was my rank up game to diamond too

[turbid locust]

also checks out lmao

[low sorrel]

with how obvious he was im def getting a refund

[turbid locust]

Valorant just ain’t it for me rn. Pretty much have no interest in the game in its current state

[fervent chasm]

Are these fairly priced?

I’ve noticed after I removed the RAM and updated the listing I got a huge influx of messages for some reason

I literally state in the listing that you don’t have to get the whole set lol

But I guess the pricing had people looking away because it went from $950 to $550

[hoary hatch]

Yeah I just finished burning shores dlc

Or like the final cutscene is going right now

So hold the fucking phone

Horizon 3 is gonna be some live service bs?

[steel stream]

Is it? Are you talking about the hunters gathering thing

[steel stream]

I loved the final boss fight, maybe not the most exciting, but so cool visually

Hunters gathering is like a little in between thing, it’s its own thing

[brisk jolt]

my man im so tempted to play the game just for kuronami 2.0 LOL

logically i shouldnt

[hoary hatch]

I've heard the next entry is supposed to be multiplayer

[steel stream]

Yeah that’s Hunter Gathering or smth like that, some multiplayer dungeon crawler I think?

Or a roguelike I forget

Oh it’s both

https://tenor.com/view/oppenheimer-paradoxical-quantum-physics-lesson-gif-5816114079579087053

[hoary hatch]

Also the lance reddick memorial in burning shores 🥲

[steel stream]

🫡

Rest in peace Lance, rest in peace

Dude was in my top games

[hoary hatch]

I want a horizon 3 single player final end to the story game

[steel stream]

Yeah that’s estimated 2028-2031 after the multiplayer

Sadly

I don’t get why they’re doing it

[hoary hatch]

ohhh the multiplayer is just an interlude?

[steel stream]

Yuh

[hoary hatch]

bruh thats a hell of a time span

please just be early PS6 generation

[steel stream]

I guess it makes sense to do multiplayer now, while people are still engaged, get the cash grab, and then release the 6th and ride the final hype wave

[hoary hatch]

PS6 probably holiday 2027? holiday 2028?

[hoary hatch]

I hope a 3rd entry is where it ends

a well thought out trilogy is all that is needed

mother fucker

am I gonna have to buy a PS6 for this bs

[steel stream]

100% they’ve set themselves up decently well with the second one

Big world ending threat

[hoary hatch]

yeah they actually cannot top that

[steel stream]

Probably, it looks like they might axe PS exclusives on PC

[hoary hatch]

if it comes out and it matches HZD and HFW, i think Horizon may become my new favorite franchise?

[steel stream]

Yeah idk how you beat giant space AI

[slender olive]

Well, they just put Death Stranding 2 on PC. If they are gonna remove them, then it might be later than we think

[steel stream]

HZD is one of my favorite games of all time, just so good

[hoary hatch]

although of Horizon 3 is forever PS exclusive then perhaps mass effect will still take number 1

[steel stream]

They’ll keep whatever is on there rn, but no new exclusives is what it sounds like

[slender olive]

Ah ok.

[hoary hatch]

and we may possibly eventually get a mass effect 5

[hoary hatch]

tbh id pay like a hundred bucks for pc port if it meant pc port

[steel stream]

I just need Destiny 3

I beg

[hoary hatch]

i blame bungie for why ps exclusives are leaving pc

really just the debt

[steel stream]

I also want to play Saros, comes out on the 30th

[steel stream]

Bungie has to be losing Sony so much money, they deserve belt to ass

[slender olive]

Yea, marathon

[steel stream]

I like the look and feel of marathon a lot, but I’m not a big extraction shooter person so I’m not paying $40

[slender olive]

Yea thats why i dont play rainbow 6 extraction game (whatever its called)

[steel stream]

Marathon is visually stunning, in typical bungie fashion and the guns feel great, but the genre is just quite full rn

[hoary hatch]

It's an acquisition I still cannot wrap my head around

[indigo walrus]

Additionally, I want them to not botch or drop the movie series they're allegedly producing.
https://www.thewrap.com/sony-horizon-zero-dawn-now-in-works-as-a-feature-film/

[hoary hatch]

Hm, film series, not streaming series?

I can see both ways working

[steel stream]

Imagine a Thunderjaw in IMAX

[indigo walrus]

Please no. This means a 2 hour ferry boat ride and driving in the CITY for me. 🤣

[steel stream]

Worth it

I need to continue playing HFW on PC

[hoary hatch]

Oh that makes much more sense

[indigo walrus]

It was supposed to be a Netflix series, but that got scrapped, hence the movie instead.

[hoary hatch]

Stupid edited post

[hoary hatch]

It does not need to be a Netflix show good riddance

[steel stream]

I don’t get it too much either, I guess they thought they would make tons of money with final shape and future projects, but just fell so flat?

I think bungie needs to have upper management completely slashed and new people brought in

[hoary hatch]

I haven't spent money on destiny since year 2

[steel stream]

Everything I hear about upper management there is terrible

[indigo walrus]

True. To be fair, I'd be fine with it being a Netflix-run streaming show, but some shows really only need to be 3-6 EP's per season with a max of 2 seasons to be good. Think... British mini-movie series that airs once a week over 4-6 weeks per season. Dragging it out for 6+ seasons of 10+ episodes each is just... too dangerous.

[slender olive]

@indigo walrus btw thank you for answering in #tech-chat-1
Im going to do some extensive research on the internal fan wiring on the ps4 pro

I know that the ps4 fan wiring and noctua fan wiring are different

So its not gonna be a plug and play

[indigo walrus]

You can just ping me in #tech-chat-1 where the conversation was taking place... Helps avoid segmenting the conversation across multiple channels, but anyway, you're most welcome.

[slender olive]

Oh sorry. I was chatting in here too lol

[hoary hatch]

netflix shows just have a certain look to them that I despise

[slender olive]

Ill go back to tech chat 1

[steel stream]

What is color grading

[hoary hatch]

although 3 body problem looked fine

[indigo walrus]

To be fair, looking at the people who created and produced that, I'd say Netflix was simply the Network and give next to no creative input for the show. But that's an at a glance assertion.

Yep. That’s a way to do it. Drain it till it won’t turn on and then leave it plugged in overnight and allow it to charge to the real 100%

It honestly just sounds like you've got every pc and tech word and put it into a sentence

[late atlas]

[small gate]

it came from the assigment brief

[edgy laurel]

17 year old smart phone. So you have this dev board with PCI breakout or not? First part of your question indicates thats what you're trying to do, second half indicates you already have a board for this. Are you just hoping that all this is possible or already have the pre-research done that shows it is? THis is a wildly complex question to ask and hope to get a simple answer in a non-specialized discord channel.

[late atlas]

Weird, they make it sound like gibberish

[edgy laurel]

You've got a lot of work to do first before even thinking about asking such specific questions.

Does this 17-y/o ARM chip even support PCI?

[trim agate]

yes but there's a 50/50 chance i'm wrong

[edgy laurel]

Either way this is way out of scope for this channel

[edgy laurel]

out of scope for this server, tbh. Does XDA Developers have a discord? Their forum would be best

[smoky orbit]

Or the scope of pretty much any discord server that isn’t full of literal phone/pc engineers

[edgy laurel]

Reverse engineering a 17y/o ARM chip from scratch with seemingly beginner knowledge isn't the kinda thing you're going to learn in a public discord chat in the first place

[maiden prairie]

When seeing how much people from the linux mobile community are struggling to make it work on multiple devices due to chips being fully closed source i don't think you'll achieve a lot

@small gate I don’t even think these old phone arm CPUs have support for pci, maybe they have but it would be an internal thing within the soc

you don't think the MicroSD slot is PCIE? 😉

[small gate]

don't worry guys, some dev, helped us out. we'll be using raspberry pi future wise and hope it fits

[smoky orbit]

How could it even be pci

[frank zealot]

you didn't consider off-the-shelf SBCs before deciding you want to go into some custom nonsense with a 17 year old cell phone chip?

[smoky orbit]

Much better idea (won’t have native pci support tho)

[frank zealot]

raspberry Pi 4 and 5 have 1 PCIE Lane accessible

[random flame]

Should've done a Beagleboard. Lol.

[small gate]

hey, i'm more of a gamer than doing this and prefer coding than building this with no clue

[smoky orbit]

Yes, pcie not pci (they talked about pci)

[frank zealot]

that's fair, but if you're doing some thing is entirely out of your depth like this, here's a really REALLY good suggestion:

Don't decide how to do something you're utterly clueless about.

Figure out what your goal is "I need something tiny and low power to do XXXXX task. What's a good way to go about doing that?"

Not spontaneously decide "I want this random piece of bullshit from nearly 20 years ago to do this. How do I make it do that?"

Q: Why are you asking about PCI / PCIE specifically?

"remember an empty browsing history reveals more than a full one"

[smoky orbit]

Anyone knows which am4 mobo has the most pcie slots with as much pcie lanes as possible? (Weird formulation I know, I can try to reformulate it needed)

[frank zealot]

it'd be one that sacrifices m.2 for chipset powered slots.
Are you after the widest slots? (x4? x8?) or just the largest number of x1?

[late atlas]

Holy fucking shit

[edgy laurel]

lanes are a function of the CPU

[late atlas]

More lanes than on one of those Chinese highways

[frank zealot]

yup, motherboards get 20 CPU lanes to play with on AM4.

Usually that's x16 to the GPU and x4 to a M.2

Past that it's all chipset.

[smoky orbit]

I have a gigabyte with 5 16x wired as x1, I know there’s an asus very similar one with one of the slot wired as x4

[edgy laurel]

slots, not necessarily lanes

[late atlas]

Yeah mb

[frank zealot]

that doesn't answer the question

[smoky orbit]

Yes, sorry, miss clicked and didn’t realized

[smoky orbit]

More x4 , x8, lanes than x1 (it’s fine that they go through the chipset)

[frank zealot]

If you get wider lanes, you'll be capped at 2-3 slots due to chipset rules

Scratch that. 1-2

B550 maxes at 10 chipset lanes

[smoky orbit]

Damn, that’s lame, I guess the epyc upgrade is gonna happen sooner than expected

[frank zealot]

X570 can do 16 lanes

[pure garnet]

no consumer platform really has a lot of lanes anymore

[frank zealot]

Z890 provides 24 gen4 chipset lanes

[devout ridge]

they’re switched though, so you can’t utilize all the lanes at once

[frank zealot]

Realistically that's not that big a deal.

The odds of using that many devices at once is relatively small

[frank zealot]

Budget?

[viral iron]

no budget.

[devout ridge]

noctua NF-A14 g2

[frank zealot]

Noctua at 30+ each

Arctic P14 Pro pwm pst for cheap

[steel stream]

One that’s not plugged in

[turbid locust]

iirc @shell void wasn’t super happy with his Arctic 12 Pros?

[frank zealot]

I've got them in my PC and they're great

[turbid locust]

I only had the non pro P12s and they were ok considering the price

I really like my Pure Wings 3’s now tho

[frank zealot]

5 good fans for basically the price of 1 noctua? It's a pretty stellar value

[turbid locust]

yeah I’m not denying the value, just like to point out it’s not necessarily bad to spend on nicer fans

[pure garnet]

the p12 pro isn't a bad fan

but they're loud to me

[frank zealot]

still possibly the dumbest case ever:

[pure garnet]

for me anything above like 40% signal on them annoys me

[turbid locust]

my priority list goes like

performance of machine
display appropriate for the performance
acoustics
looks

[late atlas]

It's cool as fuck

[shell void]

they’re fine

i’ve had a couple of arctic fans give out on me, but i expect that when they’re $5 shipped and i’ve used like 40 of them

[steel stream]

My arctics weren’t loud, they just had this whiny noise

[late atlas]

Noctua >

[viral iron]

are silent wing 4's better than arctics?

The noctua price seems a bit overkill for the marginal performance and db difference.

[shell void]

40% is 1500rpm and yeah i agree that’s too high

[turbid locust]

My OG P12s had that violently annoying resonance at certain rpms

[turbid locust]

I’ve never had a BeQuiet fan I didn’t like

[shell void]

i run my fans at 600-800rpm

[steel stream]

yeah I couldn't deal with it anymore and just ponied up for noctua

[frank zealot]

If you need your fans to break like 1200rpm? you're doing something wrong.

They should be under 1K RPM almost forever.

[turbid locust]

I think everything in my case is set to a static 800rpm besides my gpu lmao

I think I even have my AIO pump at like a static 70%

[shell void]

that’s good brother that’s how god intended it

[steel stream]

I think i have my pump at 100%, everything else is 800 rpm or lower

[shell void]

i run static 20% on my p12 and p14 pros which comes out to like 800rpm and 650rpm or thereabouts

and then my aio pump is at static 40%

[pure garnet]

i run a curve that tops out at like 1500rpm i think

[teal kite]

What’s my pc specs?

[cosmic gazelle]

they didn’t cancel it let’s go

i ordered a motherboard from newegg once for like 40 bucks and they cancelled it

[steel stream]

yeah my 200mm fans spin real low

[cosmic gazelle]

bro has an antec 300

[steel stream]

PA602

[cosmic gazelle]

isn’t that thing like half a rack

[steel stream]

idk maybe but it's the best case I've ever built in

[turbid locust]

this was somehow less funny than the first time you posted it

[pure garnet]

see but the joke is the picture is low res

[arctic bronze]

ew

[teal kite]

lol

[steel stream]

ohhhhh now I get it

yeah the joke isn't that funny

[teal kite]

Size comparison between steam deck, Switch 1&2

[late atlas]

All the same apart from switch 1

[teal kite]

The switch 1 looks like a kids toy in comparison

[steel stream]

@cosmic gazelle size comparison between my old fractal north, and PA602

[steel stream]

i mean it is

[teal kite]

Lord of the rings

[cosmic gazelle]

@turbid locust look what i got

[turbid locust]

🤯

[cosmic gazelle]

it says good quality in the name

[teal kite]

Your banner made me chuckle, thx

[teal kite]

China special

[cosmic gazelle]

i am looking forward to determining if it’s actually any good

has to be better than an am3 stock cooler

[teal kite]

My biggest concern is actually the fans

I’ve seen fans catch fire cause they are so low quality

[cosmic gazelle]

yeah i could have just gotten a hyper 212 for like 7 dollars more

this is just more interesting

[teal kite]

I know you are trying to budget ball

[cosmic gazelle]

not really

the china special is just funny to me

[frank zealot]

@edgy laurel
Why would you plumb 3 fucking loops in series? DO YOU WANT TO FUCKING DRAIN THAT MUCH SHIT?!

[teal kite]

What’s the point… craps wayyy to big

[teal kite]

3 psu is wild tho

[frank zealot]

it's 3x PCs

[cosmic gazelle]

and from what I understand the chip I’m oc’ing doesn’t really need super beefy cooling because the vrms give up first

[late atlas]

Wall mount

Id have that on my wall, are you kidding me? It's art

[teal kite]

Ehhh… still… I’d rather have a 3 pc stack than a wall mount

[frank zealot]

Wall Mounts can look absolutely awesome. But they're not small typically.

[late atlas]

There's actually more space to be had this way

[late atlas]

You can get wall mount cases which are "small" compared to that

[frank zealot]

not for 3 Full ATX PCs and 4x 480mm radiators

[teal kite]

Eh… I could never… the amount of times I’d need my pc to move with me… I could never carry that whole thing

[cosmic gazelle]

if I’m ever filthy rich I’m commissioning one of those billet labs wall mount pcs

[teal kite]

If I was filthy rich I’d just buy a server room….

[late atlas]

Yeah that's true but for 1 pc yeah

[haughty crown]

my galaxy note 7 already broke the screen, and where sparepart can i buy it?

[teal kite]

Hmmmmmmm note 7…. Cooked

[late atlas]

eBay maybe

[haughty crown]

hard to find it

[late atlas]

Just buy another note 7 for replacement parts

Yeah

[teal kite]

Are you rocking the note 7 cause it goes 🔥🔥🔥?

[haughty crown]

no, i use galaxy note fe btw

[haughty crown]

somehow i never found the galaxy note 7 have to normal screen but the motherboard is dead

[teal kite]

I like my galaxy s20 FE

[haughty crown]

i like any note and s series

i already have s22

[frank zealot]

Bykski used to have this for 1600 bucks:

[teal kite]

I bought a s23 ultra for like $300 the other day… before the ram shortage actually

[frank zealot]

"The other day"
.... I mean 8 months ago

[teal kite]

true

Same difference

[haughty crown]

wait your s23 already died?

[teal kite]

Nah… grandma needed a phone

She had a s4 note

[late atlas]

They are cool, but you can just buy the Thermaltake p3 for like £110 and that can be wall mounted and assembled however you want, so that is an option too for cheaper

[haughty crown]

previously i using samsung galaxy note 8, and i gave to my grandpa

[frank zealot]

again, not with dual 480's lol

and dual pumps

[late atlas]

With 1 420mm yeah

You might be able to fit 2 pumps to be fair

[haughty crown]

owh

is anyone using extremerom?

or artisanrom

i bought note 20 ultra before and try to modified fullscreen aod

but unfortunately the aod only shows high contrast color

[trim agate]

[steel stream]

[trim agate]

[frank zealot]

[trim agate]

id believe it

grrrr

[steel stream]

keep the tandem OLEDs out of undeserving hands

/s

big /s lol

[trim agate]

i want to get rid of my dang curved VA panel

[steel stream]

I wonder if we will get an iPad ultra too

I think they are going to call the iPhold the iPhone ultra, iirc michael correctly

[trim agate]

iphold

i got my ipad 1 year before the oled models came

[steel stream]

rip

[steel stream]

perfect name for a folding iPhone but whatever

[trim agate]

monitor or internet upgrade, which should i do

[steel stream]

monitor

[trim agate]

i hate that ur right

[teal kite]

A touch screen Mac would be lowkey fire for artist

[late atlas]

A fire would low-key be fire for anyone

A Mac would be Mac for a Mac

[frank zealot]

It always amuses me when I pick up a decent Mechanical Keeb and realize "I could bludgeon someone to death with this thing."

[teal kite]

Imagine the MacBook can become a 2in1 and become a tablet

[frank zealot]

That seems unlikely

[late atlas]

Imagine apple made apples

[frank zealot]

They've never done something like that, and considering they're just getting around to a touchscreen? That seems like a reach

[steel stream]

iPad

[trim agate]

like the ipad?
