[civic reef]

Wait
$3600 for a two bedroom???

[livid flame]

Melbourne suburb at the time

[smoky orbit]

There’s no way anything is worse than a Canadian goose

[topaz veldt]

That's like 70% less than my sister paid for a studio in Jersey City

[topaz veldt]

All they do is just shit

[brisk jolt]

people immigrate in hopes of a better life- just because you heard it online doesnt mean its all entirely trash and garbage

[smoky orbit]

Until you at a mother with kiddies the wrong way

[civic reef]

Are the salaries atleast good enough to accommodate such prices

[topaz veldt]

now you got dinner

[smoky orbit]

No, you’re the food at that point

[topaz veldt]

Not universally, no - not at all, and NJ has one of the highest tax rates

[livid flame]

The salary they offered me in late 2021 was $150k AUD

[topaz veldt]

You underestimate my Papa Bear defenses

[civic reef]

The see no evil one reminded me of the game TrenchFace

[livid flame]

That’s double my UK salary almost, yet still not a great salary to live on in Australia

[civic reef]

How much a month?

Oh wait stupid question

[livid flame]

[trim agate]

😭

[civic reef]

I forgot that I have something called a brain

[trim agate]

how much every 2 years?

[smoky orbit]

Yeah, you’ll loose fingers tho

[civic reef]

That can do this extremely advanced, extraterrestrial-only operation called division

[topaz veldt]

You ain't biting these things off dude

[late atlas]

How thick are your fingers

[topaz veldt]

9mm

[livid flame]

But yeah I’m basically on around 46k and that’s 80k…. Yet I’d have actually been poorer because Australia daftly expensive

[civic reef]

AUD$12,500 a month oh wow

[brisk jolt]

@trim agate trying to find a hb710 for 150 while not being much of a hassle to travel to is hard

[sharp heart]

america's fingers

[smoky orbit]

Im not but the goose will

[topaz veldt]

There's a thing that canadian goose is ignorant of

[late atlas]

I like how you had that locked and loaded, off the top of your head

[topaz veldt]

I never leave home without a good pun

[civic reef]

That'd be .45 ACP, aka 11.3mm

[livid flame]

If it was a job I could do remotely I’d be hella in. However looking after supermarket fruit supply chains and quality isn’t a remote kind of job

[trim agate]

lock in

[late atlas]

Are you a dad by any chance

[smoky orbit]

Yeah, they are not scared of guns, they will do everything to hurt you

[topaz veldt]

Goose protection

[civic reef]

9mm is a jerry calibre!!!!!!

[late atlas]

Valid for geese

[sharp heart]

imagine seeing a canadian goose and pulling out your keyboard

[topaz veldt]

A dad, a brother, and a son

[wraith steeple]

What I tell people is this, as long as you're willing to put in the effort to move there (whatever that country may be) work and effort gets you a long way.

[livid flame]

I don’t know what’s scarier. The gun or that keyboard

[brisk jolt]

actually
a new listing is quite near

speak of the devil man

[late atlas]

This explains a lot

[civic reef]

Can you even carry in public in Canada?

[topaz veldt]

You can't even own a gun in canada

[smoky orbit]

No

[smoky orbit]

Hunting is a thing

[livid flame]

You can if you farm

[smoky orbit]

Shooting ranges are a thing

[late atlas]

You can carry a picture of a gun in Canada, maybe

[topaz veldt]

Nah they're banning that too

[smoky orbit]

No

[topaz veldt]

They're banning eating

[livid flame]

IIRC Canadian gun ownership for farmers same as UK. Own land, own gun.

[civic reef]

Image isn't loading at al
Someone describe what's happening

[civic reef]

Can you atleast own something like a handgun or shotgun and keep it at home

[brisk jolt]

https://tenor.com/view/statewide-rp-mess-with-the-honk-you-get-the-bonk-baseballbat-untitled-goose-game-gif-17204101

[livid flame]

Didn’t goose make cs1.6?

[civic reef]

UGG ❤️

[late atlas]

Trueee

[topaz veldt]

Basically no Yes, but with strict limitations. A national freeze effective October 21, 2022, prohibits buying, selling, or transferring handguns, meaning only those who already owned registered handguns can keep them. Licensed owners must have a Restricted PAL (RPAL), register the firearm, and only use it at authorized ranges.

[smoky orbit]

Im Canadian, my grandpa has a 308 Winchester, the neighbour has a couple of 12 gauges and 308 cause he’s the orchard owner and has to kill agressive birds and pests

[topaz veldt]

I would grab a goose by its neck and beat the shit out of itself with itself

[civic reef]

Oh
Meh

[late atlas]

Dude, goose liver is so tasty oml

I don't know if you've tried it before

[civic reef]

Which P is that

[late atlas]

https://tenor.com/view/cigarette-cigarette-cat-cat-smoking-gif-10026943982510468339

[smoky orbit]

Assault rifles are getting bought by the gov, hunting stuff is perfectly legal

[civic reef]

Imagine if it's a P320

[topaz veldt]

I do not actually condone animal harm... but I was once at a corporate center and a dude was walking this pond and goose was harassing him and the MF punted the goose. I couldn't believe what I witnessed.

[civic reef]

That thing's a hazard and NOT to the one it's being aimed at

[late atlas]

Poor geese 😭

Probably broke some bones

[topaz veldt]

I mean it was being a piece of shit no doubt

[late atlas]

Yeah but yk, animals are animals to them you're just in their territory or they're defending something

[smoky orbit]

(You can occasionally hear the sound of a “taped 44” (local expression for 12 gauge))

[topaz veldt]

It was like 70% instinctive "how do I not get bit by the fucking derranged asshole" and 30% probably from Philly and thats how we handle riffraff

[livid flame]

TC2 is fun today

[civic reef]

Yeah the grown ups are talking which is why

[late atlas]

You could probably outrun a geese

[civic reef]

It's like being allowed to sit at the main table

[smoky orbit]

No

[topaz veldt]

I dunno - the dude was older. He had a good kicking foot though.

[smoky orbit]

Really not

[civic reef]

Absolutely no business being here at this time but it's fun

[smoky orbit]

Not by foot

[late atlas]

Old people tend to have a good kicking foot, I've noticed that

[late atlas]

How

[smoky orbit]

Me neither

[late atlas]

It's a goose

[livid flame]

Because we have had to kick our kids out of bed

[smoky orbit]

Those fucks are fast af

[topaz veldt]

He prob came from the time that this was considered a safety device

[late atlas]

😂

[civic reef]

No you're atleast an adult, so you have some business being here

[late atlas]

How fast can you run poignee

[civic reef]

Also laptop arriving in 2 days!!

[late atlas]

Don't break it

[civic reef]

Whuh?

[late atlas]

Simple, don't break it

[smoky orbit]

For the geese (In mph (sadly) and they’ll get to you (they run really fast))

[smoky orbit]

No idea

[late atlas]

What in the fuck

[wraith steeple]

Damn this got me homesick all of the sudden. Though I plan on making a vist to the old country to visit family after almost 17 years of haven't seeing relatives in person. Just a matter of when

[late atlas]

I didn't know those bitches were that fast

[smoky orbit]

Yep

[smoky orbit]

(Read the context) You’re mature enough tbh (more than some adults in here)

[smoky orbit]

Yayayayayayayayayaayayya

[late atlas]

Wanna play who can outrun the geese, whoever gets bit has to buy the other person a pc component of their choice

[smoky orbit]

I need my fingies to mess with pcs

[topaz veldt]

I would split that goose beak open like a crab leg

[late atlas]

Better run fast

[late atlas]

"I'm not against animal harm" 5 minutes ago

[topaz veldt]

in self defense

[late atlas]

Yes of course

Everything in self defense

[topaz veldt]

Goose beak is like the lobster claw of the pond

a little butter... some parsley

[late atlas]

It goes hard

I used to eat geese liver with mashed potatoes and a side of pickles

Went hard as fuck

[topaz veldt]

I can't get down with livers

[topaz veldt]

this sounds like something a person with zero teeth would need to eat

[late marsh]

Down with the Sickness?

[late atlas]

Classic meal every time I went over to my grandparents in Hungary

[topaz veldt]

they got teeth there?

[late atlas]

I did not know they sell that

[topaz veldt]

they don't its AI

[late atlas]

My grandad had 1

[late atlas]

Tbf I should have looked deeper

[topaz veldt]

Ok this explains the liver with mashed mashed mash and mashed mash

[late atlas]

😭

It was a good meal

[topaz veldt]

It needs like.... texture

[late atlas]

I can now see clearly it's AI but they probably do sell it tbh, in Asia somewhere

[topaz veldt]

oh yeah could be in an asian market

[late atlas]

Got all the texture you need, pickles, mashed potatoes and the liver

[late atlas]

Yeah they like eat everything there

[topaz veldt]

Everything in that meal is like a durometer of 10 or less

[late atlas]

It was good tho cause like everything was home made and fresh since my grandad was a farmer

So fresh geese, fresh potatoes, etc

[livid flame]

Ah the good old shore meter

[late atlas]

Never seen it actually

[smoky orbit]

[topaz veldt]

Hungary thrives in the 0 - 10 scale

Crunch?! EW. Disgusting.

🙂

[late atlas]

No man we do have stuff with texture

Like the famous goulash

Great taste, great texture

And Kurtos kalács (in English it's called chimney cake)

[civic reef]

Honestly I am not really sure of that </3

[livid flame]

I mean you don’t have to defend British food to an American. There isn’t a thing as an American cuisine

[late atlas]

Nah not British

European

[civic reef]

Fair ig

[livid flame]

Heck. You don’t have to defend food to an American. They have no cuisine.

[late atlas]

https://tenor.com/view/kurtos-luis-stan-gif-26316070

[livid flame]

There’s everyone else’s cuisine and smoking beef. That’s about it.

[late atlas]

@topaz veldt ignore the guy but this in English is called chimney cake, it's fluffy and soft on the inside and crunchy on the outside

[pure garnet]

remember last time when we made fun of english shirt names and you pinged mods about it?

[late atlas]

It's basically dough, then you have honey glazing on the outside and you stick things to it like walnut, sugar etc

[pure garnet]

pot calling the kettle here

[smoky orbit]

(I just realized how fucking badly my message can be interpreted qwq)

[late atlas]

They do tho

The famous American breakfast

[livid flame]

Chimney cake is decent tbfh

[civic reef]

Oh my days-

Yeah without context it sounds HORRIBLE 😭

[late atlas]

Pancake, bacon syrup

[late atlas]

It's so good

[civic reef]

But eitherway

[smoky orbit]

Qwq

[civic reef]

I don't really think I am 'mature'? Just.. A little more stable for my age? What even indicates maturity that you're seeing in me?

[livid flame]

At 15 I was getting drunk in tents, fingering girls and not studying for tests. Playing CS and preparing for the next years WoW release. I’d say you’re far more mature than I was.

[late atlas]

That's a wild opening sentence

At 15 I was playing GTA 5 with my friends everyday after each day of highschool and getting scolded for not doing any homework

[livid flame]

I was also creating half life levels but yknow, that’s kind of mature so I left that off

[smoky orbit]

Your reflections, your knowledge, the way you think, your patience, etc

[livid flame]

If you think that’s wild wait for when I was 21

[late atlas]

I don't think I want to know

[livid flame]

https://tenor.com/view/telmo-coca-harina-raquetaso-esnifar-gif-25660568

[late atlas]

@civic reef there's 2 types of people in this world. You're either a fart smella and smart fella

And you ma'am are a smart fella

[late atlas]

How was it

[civic reef]

At 15 I am err..
Honestly just hitching a ride on this earth

[topaz veldt]

dude theres like 14 y/os here and shit

[late atlas]

Possibly even 13

[topaz veldt]

yeah

[late atlas]

It's okay

[pure garnet]

it’s larp anyway

[vestal granite]

you have to defend some foods to an american. we are the best at:

1. american pizza
2. fish fry (the good chefs in the UK moved to the US when it opened)
3. philly cheesesteak
4. pork bbq
5. lobster and crab related things

[civic reef]

-Grades are okay, impacted by lack of assistance / special education which would be useful for someone like me who's on the spectrum

Not great at making friends, atleast with people my age in school & such; Like, 1 new 'friend' a year, with only three permanents

[gusty lichen]

The 1st and 2nd is crazy

[civic reef]

Definitely lots of people too young to be on here too

[late atlas]

Yeah but impossible to moderate

You're not gonna age verify and check like 200k people

[civic reef]

Yeah, which makes the issue even worse

[late atlas]

Yeah

[civic reef]

That's also a huge security risk
DMs on discord aren't encrypted iirc

[civic reef]

My.. Reflections?

[pure garnet]

just have a bot auto ban anyone who only plays roblox and minecraft and it’ll get 90% of them

[late atlas]

Do you know what that means?

[civic reef]

Meh probably half-half

[civic reef]

I do, but, I don't understand her full intent behind it

[late atlas]

When you reflect, it means you look back at something you did or a choice you made and you try to improve from it/realise what you did wrong and right and learn from it

So I think she's complimenting that

She's calling you smart

[civic reef]

Oh no the half-half was for the fart smella & smart fella message </3

Check what it was replying to

[late atlas]

Yeah that's just a meme dw

[civic reef]

But eitherway, thanks for the clarification

[late atlas]

No problem mb

[smoky orbit]

I meant something like thought process

[civic reef]

Yeah I was just saying that I am both simultaneously

[pure garnet]

that doesn’t really change what i said at all

[late atlas]

Its like the 1st/2nd most played game on earth

Daily 30+ million players

[pure garnet]

ignoring the obvious that the player counts are still huge for both

[civic reef]

That's what I understood, but I didn't want to assume something that I don't have full confidence in

[smoky orbit]

The most sold game ever

[civic reef]

Eitherway thank you both for the clarification :>

[late atlas]

Indeed indeed

[late atlas]

No problem m

[gusty lichen]

Idk why
Its repetive

[civic reef]

If you only play with the goal of slaying the ender dragon; It'll get repetitive

[pure garnet]

tetris sweep

mfs will open a sandbox game and go there’s nothing to do

like bro the game is whatever you want to do

[late atlas]

It has an infinite number of possibilities and you can do anything and everything, people have made working calculators inside of Minecraft with 0 mods. And the game has a huge minor player base

[smoky orbit]

All versions and editions put tgt, yeah probably

[civic reef]

Roblox is.. A platform?

[livid flame]

I will hand the pork bbq to Americans. They do look fantastic

[late atlas]

Also people play a lot of servers where there's game modes and stuff

[civic reef]

There're millions of games on it, all of different genres

[pure garnet]

it was a pack in game for the gameboy so it’s sorta cheating but it’s still like ~200mil units ahead

[livid flame]

*miner

[late atlas]

Oh that's good, I like it

You CRAFTED that joke together very well

[wraith steeple]

Oh boy.... You are starting a fire with option 1 when it comes to other flavours

[pure garnet]

what is your favorite game mr barti

[vestal granite]

to be clear though we do have bad pork bbq like any other country's cuisine knowmsayn, but when its good nobody can beat it

as a kid my family would sometimes drive down to atlanta and we'd stop by a place in chattanooga tennessee and get some bbq and feed corn cobs to the goats outside the bbq place

[gusty lichen]

I dont play games anymore

[civic reef]

Also speaking of Minecraft..
Have a look at my (first image outdated, supports refined since image taken) farms!! Second one is on the roof of my house! :>

Ignoring the thousands of other games not in those three genres?
Y'know; horror games, simulation, factory/railway/etc management games..

You haven't ever played roblox beside the trending page (if even) and it shows

[pure garnet]

oh you must’ve got a ps5

[gusty lichen]

Only because gta 6 coming soon

[wraith steeple]

I love how the PlayStation having no games has been an ongoing joke for 20 years at this point

[smoky orbit]

Pew pew?? Huh?

[civic reef]

He means FPS games in their entirety

[smoky orbit]

Ohhh

[pure garnet]

it’s code for “gun” by the underaged

[civic reef]

.. Ignoring all the subgenres

There's MILSIM, arcade FPS, open world FPS, and games that just have guns as a feature rather than the selling point

[vestal granite]

this is the place, in case u guys ever need to spot what a good bbq place looks like, this is creme de la creme

[civic reef]

It's a free platform with its own dedicated engine for people to make games on; what makes no sense?

[vestal granite]

they oughta censor more on roblox

[pure garnet]

i like how this devolved from roblox is popular with kids to “they’re censoring the block game”

i agree with pepe roblox needs more filtering

[smoky orbit]

God damn warship

[civic reef]

Roblox is filtering things wrong

They're using a very easy to spoof system

That can quite literally put children in danger

There're multiple age groups, and you can only see messages in the one you're assigned to

[wraith steeple]

https://tenor.com/view/metallica-napster-parody-campchaos-flash-gif-507361441995304255

[civic reef]

So if someone is 18,they can't see messages from someone below 18

[vestal granite]

i think multiplayer games should be forced to not be free personally

[civic reef]

And someone in the 13> age range can't see anything from the 13+ age range

[smoky orbit]

(That’s not that good, cause now age classed accounts gets sold online)

[pure garnet]

how much should fortnite cost

[vestal granite]

oh thats cool actually cause every time ive tried to play cool looking roblox games i was always annoyed that i had to read dumbass chats

[civic reef]

-So people with bad intentions can just fake their age to be what they desire and talk to people of that age, without anyone older or capable of pointing out such things even knowing

[vestal granite]

fortnite isnt free?

[pure garnet]

it is to play

[smoky orbit]

It is

[green marsh]

do they have a separate group for 18-21 ? You know, to not tempt American young adults into the evil of drinking alcohol /s

[vestal granite]

i thought i paid like 40 bucks for that game

[civic reef]

It's just 18+

[smoky orbit]

https://tenor.com/view/kamie-catfish-tf-excuse-me-gif-26312767

[civic reef]

No 18-21 and 22-29 and such

[green marsh]

you missed the /s at the end

[civic reef]

You have your minor age groups; from children, to preteens, to early teens, to late teens, and then the end-all-be-all 18+ range

[vestal granite]

i think we should protect the elderly and put 60+ into its own age group too

[civic reef]

I am.. Not being sarcastic

[vestal granite]

no parandroid put the /s

[smoky orbit]

The pve game, zombie stuff is paid)

[pure garnet]

just autoban them

the second you hit 30 your roblox account should be closed bro

[civic reef]

Oh
I am stupid ❤️

[smoky orbit]

Am I the only one seeing the issue here?

[civic reef]

.. What?

[vestal granite]

theres a new genre of heartwarming videos going around where its like old person plays GTA V! old person playing xbox and having fun! and then i look at the hands and their hands arent doing the right thing for whats on the screen

[smoky orbit]

Shut the fuck up

[civic reef]

Huh??

[smoky orbit]

Weirdo

[civic reef]

Mate no one needs you to play devil's advocate

We already know, that's why I mentioned the issue

[vestal granite]

are all of you ragebaiting me specifically

im reading this and im just like okay this is ragebait from that end, ragebait from the other end, etc, stop ragebaiting me specifically

[smoky orbit]

No, barti is being a real weirdo

[pure garnet]

pepe how much should overwatch cost

[civic reef]

Tree fiddy

[wraith steeple]

[smoky orbit]

-500, gotta pay me to play

[vestal granite]

no you misunderstood him and thats unfair to his points

[civic reef]

What're you talking about

[vestal granite]

$2.99

[pure garnet]

a value price, quite acceptable

[wraith steeple]

[civic reef]

There's someone called Tree Fiddy?

Poor guy

[smoky orbit]

Separating age group is useful to search the one you want and then started to talk about separating genders in games

[civic reef]

What about CS2
Should it cost as much as it did back when it was a paid game

[pure garnet]

no because it’s still unfinished

[wraith steeple]

Issac Hayes didn't die in prison?

[civic reef]

True

[vestal granite]

thought that was in response to the 60+ age group thing which i understood as a joke about senior living facilities

[vestal granite]

$14.99

[smoky orbit]

Didn’t feel like it

[wraith steeple]

[vestal granite]

well water doesnt feel like water if its body temperature lots of things dont feel like things that they are thats why we use the context to try and figure out what it is and give people the benefit of the doubt

[pure garnet]

using my christmas cash on renegade raider

[gusty lichen]

Waste of money

[pure garnet]

so is literally anything bought for personal enjoyment

[wraith steeple]

[gusty lichen]

I never bought antthing in game

[pure garnet]

well yeah you have to be a certain age for a debit card

[vestal granite]

cant wait for s&box to have content from the influx of new players

[civic reef]

I should play HL2 again

Wait no I need to finish HL1 first

[gusty lichen]

I have one but i dont buy games

[smoky orbit]

How old are you?

Cause I have the feeling you’re 11

[civic reef]

.. Wtf?

[livid flame]

Did someone call CS2 an unfinished game

[civic reef]

Yeah
Tbh they're right to a degree

[smoky orbit]

I was a summer camp animator, that’s why I think you’re 11, you think like an 11 year old kid, you talk like one and you try to be edgy like one, that job made me hate kids in general

[livid flame]

Who came out of the delivery room yesterday?

You should try playing OG CS if you think CS2 is unfinished

[civic reef]

That "and probably like kids" remark is enough to atleast click ignore eitherway

[smoky orbit]

Yep, im too old go deal with genuine stupidity

[civic reef]

Not to mention that they also got defensive real fast

[civic reef]

Just ignore & move on, it's not worth it

[brisk jolt]

yeah ok fuck me i somehow ran outta space to store these

[smoky orbit]

I can help you with that

[civic reef]

Store them with your gold

[pure garnet]

“you should play a 20 year old game in the same series if you think the current one has issues” is not the win you think it is

[smoky orbit]

Do they have some kind of “mod mail” bot in here? (I just wanna ask a question to the mods)

[gusty lichen]

No

[sharp heart]

god ur annoying

[livid flame]

I wasn’t asking them to see what it was like 20 years ago. I was asking them to see what it was like 27 years ago

Or 26 years and 9 months ago if you want to be specific

[pure garnet]

that changes nothing about the current remake being less feature complete then the existing game it replaced

[livid flame]

Then tell me what unfinished looks like

[civic reef]

I'll ask the next mod I see

[livid flame]

Woah kyoko no one said anything about less feature complete. Thats completely different to calling it unfinished

[pure garnet]

if i take your house, renovate it, don’t finish half the bedrooms, is it still the same capacity house

[smoky orbit]

Thanksies

[livid flame]

Yes it still has the same capacity

That’s a bad analogy

[pure garnet]

enjoy your 1 bed 2 bath then

[smoky orbit]

I’ve slept on a yoga mat during renovations so yeah, kinda

[livid flame]

Less feature complete compared to unfinished… completely different things

[civic reef]

Anything that's not directly the ground is enough for me tbh

[pure garnet]

if products are missing features that were in the item it replaced it’s unfinished

[civic reef]

Whatever gets me off the ground, aka away from germs and other things on the floor

[livid flame]

That’s not how that works

[pure garnet]

you don’t have to shill for valve it’s okay

[livid flame]

Oh I’m not doing that

[smoky orbit]

Same, I’ll sleep well but my body will be effed the next day

[pure garnet]

well it’s either that or useless semantics so

[livid flame]

It’s just two completely different things you are speaking about

[civic reef]

Factions removed and replaced with operators 💔
Missing maps too iirc

There's a safehouse-like hostage map from GO I used to play alot

[pure garnet]

modes and maps are missing, the operator change was go

[livid flame]

You mean removing hostage mode?

You consider that to make cs2 unfinished ? The fuck are kids like these days

[civic reef]

As CT you entered with helicopters, buy-time was on a helipad iirc

[civic reef]

Why was the operator change good?

[pure garnet]

i mean it’s just for money so not really

[livid flame]

What you consider unfinished, another person (and I can argue also) can consider streamlined and refined

[civic reef]

Personally I wouldn't call it unfinished
It's like a cake with/without sprinkles
The cake is done, you'd like sprinkles, but they're not necessary

[livid flame]

Just because you’re unhappy about something does not make it bad or unfinished

[civic reef]

Oh wait bad analogy

[pure garnet]

you can boot the game up to see what’s missing but since you think we’re talking about hostage mode i know you’re just being annoying to be annoying so this isn’t a conversation with continuing

[civic reef]

No I meant
There're no factions anymore except SAS & Phoenix

[livid flame]

Absolutely not kyoko. The point is, people want too much then throw their toys out the pram and slate when they’re unhappy. Get a grip, enjoy what you got and move on.

Honestly I preferred CSGO too but yknow what. I hated CS Source and far preferred 1.6 to any other version. I will just slap my hand down on the desk, stamp my feet and say they broke the game severely after 1.6.. removed Aztec making it unfinished and that be the only valid opinion that matters even though it’s factually incorrect

Aztec though.. what a map that was

[topaz veldt]

These mf helicopter seeds

[livid flame]

Dayumn they removed Aztec in 2017

So half yall kids probably never seen it

[vestal granite]

times are tough for snail too 😔

[young void]

Can't be snails

Odds are very low but curious non the less

Even the board and fan look to cheap to even be seen with snail

[pure garnet]

ddr5-it boots speed

[civic reef]

4800 CL46 ❤️

[pure garnet]

i’m pretty sure that’s the speed of my laptop

[young void]

Was about to say

[pure garnet]

but it’s 2:1 💀 and gdm off 1t

[civic reef]

Yeah but that's different

It's a laptop, soo
Thermals over performance

[pure garnet]

actually thermals are okay since my gpu only is 50w

[civic reef]

What was 2:1 ratio again? Gears?

[civic reef]

What GPU is it

[young void]

Cl 52 😵‍💫

[pure garnet]

the 4050 is a baby runt compared the the 4090 the chassis can host

[civic reef]

4050 at 50W
Ouch

[pure garnet]

imc runs half the speed of mem

[civic reef]

Oh

[smoky orbit]

Or 4400 (technically lowest official-ish jedec speed)

[pure garnet]

3600 🔥🔥🔥

[smoky orbit]

Wait, yeah it’s actually a thing x3

[pure garnet]

i’m pretty sure there’s speeds as low as 2000 but modules start at 4800

[brisk jolt]

just run it at true gear 1 4400C24

[pure garnet]

well

[civic reef]

3200 CL22
That's just DDR4 atp 💔

[smoky orbit]

The lowest stated speed on Wikipedia is 2000 but I don’t think any sticks will ship with that speed

[civic reef]

2000 is entering DDR3 range ❤️

[smoky orbit]

Indeed

[pure garnet]

yeah it’s for first gen 4x2r configs

[civic reef]

iirc highest speed DDR3 is 2400MT/s?

[green marsh]

i got two DDR4 ones, but i have no DDR4 systems to put them into.

[hazy zealot]

hello, do you guys think a 9070 would be too big a bottleneck for a 9800x3d?, where i am 9070 is a full 100bucks less than the xt so im considering it

[smoky orbit]

It’s the highest non oc speed, yeah

[green marsh]

way, way bellow the max https://www.gskill.com/product/165/173/1532069925/F3-3200C13D-8GTXDG

[pure garnet]

i’m gonna try this either monday night or tuesday depending on how i’m feeling

with the 7800x3d/mpower

[smoky orbit]

But that’s not jedec speed, more like oc-ish speeds

[pure garnet]

i have to do 4000 though because my fabric is chud

🥀

[civic reef]

Highest NON-OC?

[green marsh]

you didn't specify JEDEC. And JEDEC peaks at DDR3-2133

[civic reef]

So 2400 is DDR3 JEDEC??

[pure garnet]

we were talking about jedec

[smoky orbit]

Woups, no its xmp

[green marsh]

DDR3-2133 is max JEDEC

[smoky orbit]

Fuck im dumb 🤦‍♀️

[shell void]

there are also multiple jedec standards, these speeds are for high tier single rank dimms

6400cl52 is common

[pure garnet]

that speed is so fungus but yeah you’re right

[brisk jolt]

lowest quality materials amd scuffled to find

[pure garnet]

deadass scrapyard bin i got fleeced for

[civic reef]

Noppp
It's okay

[smoky orbit]

Yayayayay

[brisk jolt]

yeah time to forgo this turd 9950x3d 7800 imc

time to hit the 4400c24 jackpot

[pure garnet]

my cross to bear (these are post tax/ship)

[brisk jolt]

i cant believe i just listened to like a 4min fkin ending song

i was wondering why’s it so long

[pure garnet]

it was still a smarter buy than the b650e lightning + 7900x3d i was considering

oh riptide actually

12 core cope cpu

[brisk jolt]

hmm

[pure garnet]

dualccd with no bandwidth fo today

[brisk jolt]

should I try with ccd1 disabled

[pure garnet]

if you’re just trying games yeah i would

[brisk jolt]

alr imma try

[steel stream]

what the hell is that guys background lol

[livid flame]

Dayumn

[brisk jolt]

1080p with michael’s val settings and a 875mv@2490

dialed it in lets see if it boots

[pure garnet]

it’s anti 1:1:1 am5 propaganda

a “cult” in china runs 4400 synced

[brisk jolt]

inb4 we start doing 2200 mem speed with cl16

im not even gonna test stability or anything if it boots windows and the game im gonna just bench

[pure garnet]

i mean you could, they’re only using 1.25v vdd

slamming 1.65v in to rock cl14 or whatever

[livid flame]

So you are saying it’s pure genius?

[brisk jolt]

fuck me 10 fps difference

then again im testing on a X3D chip

[livid flame]

Slightly lower 1% lows?

[pure garnet]

higher 0.1% lows too but yeah margin of error

[brisk jolt]

dw im saving 6w

[pure garnet]

meta

[livid flame]

If it doesn’t kill anything long term, makes AM5 even better for people wanting not to pay fortunes in ram

[brisk jolt]

yeah ok whatever im running 4400 fuck the bigger number better

[pure garnet]

it’s all really low voltages it doesn’t hurt anything

[brisk jolt]

imagine i click start and i get 9 errors

[livid flame]

Efficiency > Power

[brisk jolt]

now imagine if I input the mem speed at 2200

whats that? neutral gear?

[livid flame]

We have been doing DDR5 wrong for all these years

snail needs to reconfigure all his PCs on AM5 to 4400. Gonna be a weekend of fun for him

[pure garnet]

i wonder if 1:1:1 sync makes those sodimm adapters viable

[brisk jolt]

its not gonna be a weekend its like 5 mins

[livid flame]

Wait. This won’t work for 7000 Ryzen will it as they’re 2000 not 2200 1:1?

[brisk jolt]

it uses less voltage throughout and unless he has samples to run 2300 fclk which we dont know of, only 2200, its gonna be a all in one setting

[pure garnet]

you can run 2200fclk on 7000 if you win the lottery

[brisk jolt]

all am5 chips are fclk lottery

[pure garnet]

else yeah you’d just sync to 4200 or 4000 depending on fabric

[livid flame]

DDR5 4000 would be wild

[cosmic gazelle]

but like if i just give the nb 1.5 isn’t it gonna degrade it or sumn

[shell void]

this makes me want to setup 4x32 4400

[shell void]

i thought the minimum cl was 24?

[late atlas]

Ddr5 3200 🔥

[shell void]

my pc posted with DDR5 2000 when i tried running 4x32 on my 14900K

[late atlas]

Thats so fucking cool

[slim pebble]

@shell void the ROG equalizer 12VHPWR cable doesn’t look like it’s worth it.

https://youtu.be/PJrazRm6I9o?si=V50pAMjPzXjDrxu-

Why would they add a metal bridge in the middle of it?!

[brisk jolt]

the development team is still searching for incredible so they left it to the marketing team

[shell void]

all these unnecessary hoopla accessories and third party cables when dudes should just use the dual eps12v to single 12v-2x6 cable that came with their PSU

[placid blaze]

a lot of perfectly fine PSUs don't have those cables

before I upgraded to the Super Flower PSU I currently have that does have those cables, my 8 year old EVGA one sure didn't

I was unfortunately rocking the nvidia adapter for a bit

[slim pebble]

That’s why I went with the Corsair cable. 2 into 1

[shell void]

if it’s an older but good psu then you can most likely find an appropriate cable to order online

[slim pebble]

What board did you end up using Michael?

[carmine aspen]

Michael Jackson

[placid blaze]

right, but it doesn't "come with their PSU" as you stated

[shell void]

i’m still running the 9800x3d in the x870 tomahawk, i haven’t changed my main PC since end of 2024

[brisk jolt]

time to tune 4400

higher fps for 6w less

and by higher I literally mean margin of error 1220 vs 1230 in valorant

[shell void]

it’ll only cost me days of running my cpu and ram maxed out in stress tests to get it

[brisk jolt]

nah it uses less voltage actually

like we’re talking 1v vsoc

the only problem would be the fclk

[shell void]

running my CPU and ram at 175W in Ycruncher for three days straight tuning just to save 6W of idle power

[brisk jolt]

it’ll just take like 8 years to recoup that fr

just try this if yk what fclk ur chip maxes

[shell void]

i could run the minimum 0.8vsoc for that uclk

i’ve run 4800 at 0.8 for testing in the past

[shell void]

maybe not with 4x32 tho

[fleet marsh]

So im searching for the best possible. 32-34 inch 1440p Curved monitor out there. not really looking to spend $450+ on a Oled. Anyone recommend a specific model or brand ? this is so far the best i can find. https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16824281355?

[pure garnet]

you know what does the u in uclk stand for

because uncore an intel thing

[cosmic gazelle]

dude

this damn fx 6300 might either be horrendously degraded from the previous owner or just the worst binned silicon i own

[civic reef]

That's my fault sorry

[cosmic gazelle]

lol

[civic reef]

I ate some of the transistors

Hungry

[late atlas]

I have this exact monitor

[fleet marsh]

how is it ? im desperate to get rid of this 1080p monitor

[late atlas]

I like it, it's got the same issue as 99.99% of 34 inch ultrawides with the resolution of 3440x1440p, that it's like a letterbox, you've got a lot of horizontal space but your vertical space gets smaller

But other than that, it's extremely immersive especially in story and racing games

I like it personally, I haven't had an issue with it

Solid build quality, 180hz is enough

[fleet marsh]

i mainly play wow.

[late atlas]

Then it will be more than good for you

[late atlas]

You'll also have the ultrawide advantage

[shell void]

Unified Memory Controller Clock, i guess they chose to not include a M in the acronym in order to differentiate it from MCLK

[late atlas]

Where you get to see more than others do because your resolution is stretched so you'll get an extra inch or two worth of space and extra "seeable space" on the left and right

It makes a difference and can give you an edge in games like lol, dota and some mmorpgs

[fleet marsh]

i want a Oled, but all the ones in my price range are 27'. and thats what i have now. wanting at least 32

[pure garnet]

interesting but odd name

[late atlas]

32-34 inch oleds are not cheap but I'm not sure where you live

[fleet marsh]

US

[shell void]

what is the maximum that youre willing to spend? 32" models are all 2160p so the floor price is higher than 27" 1440p models

[pure garnet]

he linked a 1440p uw

[fleet marsh]

max ? maybe 400

[shell void]

ah yeah you won't get any 32" OLED for that price

[late atlas]

Yeah that shit ain't cheap

[shell void]

unless you can find that Dell 120Hz office model on a costco clearance sale

[late atlas]

Maybe if you go used but idk about that

I wouldn't get a used oled

[fleet marsh]

i mean. if there are other 1440p monitors i should be looking at let me know, if not that asus should do fine.

[shell void]

Dell S3225QC is the cheapest 32" OLED that i know of, it's a 4K 120Hz QD-OLED panel and typically retails for $499USD, but some people have found it in rare in-person clearance sales for <$400

[wise bear]

[pure garnet]

https://www.amazon.com/KTC-Gaming-Monitor-3840x2160P-Adaptive/dp/B0FRMND9J6/ not oled but

[brisk jolt]

just save for a 32in 4K 165/240hz deal, theres servers/communities that track such deals

[fleet marsh]

yea i didnt even think about 4k

[pure garnet]

if you’re going 32” i can’t say 1440p would look good

similar density to 27” 1080p

[shell void]

it's more similar to 24" 1080p, but nonetheless it's not great

[fleet marsh]

i could do that

[brisk jolt]

do i benchmark the 7600X with 4000C20 vs 6000C26

[pure garnet]

i got a 5 dollar tip i’m like 0.5% of the way to an oled 🔥🔥🔥

[fleet marsh]

plusi guess i should ask. would my 7800 xt be okay with running at 4k ?

[pure garnet]

depends on the game

[fleet marsh]

mainly WoW

[brisk jolt]

probably

[frank cypress]

wait kyoko did you get the 4070 from someone else here, i can't remember

[pure garnet]

should be fine but you can just use virtual resolution to test right now

[shell void]

pretty sure WoW raids are very cpu limited, at least that's what the boomers that play WoW in my other tech server say

[pure garnet]

no i’m the original owner, it’s new from amazon us

i just didn’t send you the box because it didn’t fit in the box i had

[frank cypress]

ahh

[pure garnet]

they are

[brisk jolt]

i dont think ive bought anything used other than ssds

[fleet marsh]

i stutter now lol. i got a 9600x

[frank cypress]

nah i was just asking cause jerry might become the third owner soon LOL

[pure garnet]

i don’t believe jerry will ever buy a gpu

[frank cypress]

might be selling him the entire 5950x pc aside from ram and storage

[pure garnet]

that’s like saying bigfoot is buying a new gpu

[brisk jolt]

he will buy a 5070 performant equivalent card in 2069

[frank cypress]

cutting him a pretty good deal so we'll see

id probably get more from part out but kinda a hassle

[pure garnet]

even on a 9800x3d the endgame city made my computer unhappy at times last expansion

[brisk jolt]

a loop build is a major hassle for his bumass say wallahi bro

[pure garnet]

i haven’t played midnight yet so no clue how silver moon is

[frank cypress]

why do you think i want out bro 🤣

major hassle for my bumass too

y’know you need the 9950X3D2 running 4400C20 1:1 twin

[frank cypress]

hey at least i ended up building the custom loop 😔

[brisk jolt]

I wonder how low we can push the tcl with true 1:1

[pure garnet]

if i buy anything new it’s a 5090 to stop using dlss in ffxiv

[fleet marsh]

yeah that's the one

[smoky orbit]

I just realized that gentoo is the perfect os for my modded switch 1 to “transform” it into a steam deck cause of its weird chips and binary incompatibilities

[timid island]

🥀

[smoky orbit]

Huh? Why?

[timid island]

Gentoo 😞

[cosmic gazelle]

screw it i'm buying another fx 6300 to see if this cpu is just junk or if it's a motherboard fault

[timid island]

Nightmares

[cosmic gazelle]

because this shit is not normal anymore

[green marsh]

not them yet

[smoky orbit]

It’s the only os the compiles the packages, that way you don’t really get binary incompatibility issues)

[timid island]

Would android work

[smoky orbit]

maybe but I want a Linux distro instead of android

[timid island]

If I get the oled model I will slot in a 512gb SD card and load android

[smoky orbit]

You can’t mod v2 switches

[timid island]

Wait what? Damn

[smoky orbit]

Only v1 (and im pretty sure all oled are v2)

[timid island]

Any Thor only option then

[smoky orbit]

What do you mean? Just use eBay (I got my v1 with breath of the wild and Pokémon écarlate for 150 CAD (used))

[timid island]

I mean the ayn Thor 2 portal is better spec wise

[smoky orbit]

Ohh I thought you meant Thor as in the dark web browser

They really want me to donate platelets but man that seems like a shitty experience

It's like 2 hours of being hooked up to a machine

[steel stream]

i should donate plasma

[hoary hatch]

I understand it's not painful, but damn do I not want to be hooked up for that long

[hoary hatch]

Sell*

[steel stream]

yeah that

[hoary hatch]

I think plasma is similar to platelets

Hooked up to a machine and some of the stuff goes back to you?

[steel stream]

yeah but you get $600 so

[hoary hatch]

Bruh

[timid island]

I personally would be scared

[hoary hatch]

Oh it's also like 2 hours fuck that

[steel stream]

300/hr pay just think about that

[hoary hatch]

2 hours of staring at a machine taking my blood and feeling a needle in my arm

Also are they really $600

I know a lot of donation centers do have first time donation bonus stacking

But I think successive donations are a lot less

[smoky orbit]

Bring a handheld (if you have one)

Quick question a friend of my gf wants to get an upgrade for her pc (an acer prebuilt) and she has an i5-8500, 16 gb ddr4, 3060 ti, 750 watts psu, and she has a tight budget, I suggested a cpu upgrade to a i7-8700, any thoughts on that?

[pure garnet]

all oled are mariko (v2), not all v1 are moddable

[frank cypress]

i just searched it up, we get like $100 per donation here in canada 😭

[pure garnet]

8700 would be fine but i also don’t think it’d be a noticeable improvement in games

[hoary hatch]

Then I'll just be rapidly looking between the steam deck and the blood sucking machine

[frank cypress]

actually nvm its just straight up illegal

[smoky orbit]

not all v1 are only soft moddable but you can hardmod all v1 with a mod chip iirc

[frank cypress]

at least in bc https://news.gov.bc.ca/releases/2018HLTH0041-000744

damn.

[hoary hatch]

If you can find 9th gen it's just a little bit more perf and worth it, if pricing isn't insane

Although pre built so make sure bios is updated and will support additional cpus

[spiral quarry]

Rip

[smoky orbit]

I’ve never had the opportunity to mess with 8th-9th gen so that’s why I’m asking, thanks

[hoary hatch]

Wait y'all can get paid for blood donation?

Here, afaik, blood donation is all unpaid

But ya know, the red cross and whatnot "partner" with companies like Amazon for blood donors to receive gifts etc

The last time I donated blood I got a Snoopy T-shirt and a coupon for a free pint of beer

[frank cypress]

nonononono

[smoky orbit]

Yeah, gonna check that bios too, I’ll check for an i7-9700 (I don’t trust the board’s vrms enough for any i9 other than the T version)

[frank cypress]

blood never, plasma used to

but now it's illegal to get paid for your plasma here it seems

[hoary hatch]

9700 non k non t should be fine

[frank cypress]

i wouldn't mind giving my blood though

[smoky orbit]

Illegal in pretty much all provinces iirc

[frank cypress]

as long as they give me a juicebox and a snack afterwards

[hoary hatch]

And even though it's not HT, HT matters less on Intel of that era

[smoky orbit]

The vrms have basically no cooling

[frank cypress]

tbh it makes sense to me but damn it would be nice if i could make some easy money like that 😔

[smoky orbit]

So nothing more than 65w tbh

[hoary hatch]

I think this is PL1 of non K

[smoky orbit]

Ohhh goody, I’ll look up the prices

[hoary hatch]

Again, non K

[smoky orbit]

138 CAD for an i7-9700

[hoary hatch]

Just plain old i7-9700 should have a PL1 of 65W and PL2 of 95-125W or something. PL2 on locked skus will inherently be limited in how long they run

[hoary hatch]

Barf

[smoky orbit]

Yeah, as I said before, im not putting anything with anything more than 65w pl1

[hoary hatch]

Okay look for 8700 or maybe 9700T

At $138 you should be able to get a low end 12th gen which can reuse ddr4

[smoky orbit]

The cpu cooler does blow air towards the mobo so pl2 should be fine

[hoary hatch]

I do think generally 8th gen sold a lot more so there is less 9th gen supply

[smoky orbit]

Would need a mobo and case swap, out of budget

[hoary hatch]

Job

Ez pz

Bank robbery

Take the governor hostage

[smoky orbit]

Yes, but she’s at school and needs as much studying as she can

[hoary hatch]

Feels bad to pay $60 per extra core

[frank cypress]

poignee are you from bc? i might have a spare i5 8400 or something

[hoary hatch]

Of actually pretty old hardware these days

In a vacuum, I don't think that price is bad

But the upgrade from 8500 is rough

[frank cypress]

ohhhh

[hoary hatch]

Yeah you can resell the 8500 for maybe 50 or 60$?

[smoky orbit]

So this summer she’ll be able to save up and she wants a small boost (in gaming and multithreaded workloads) while waiting

[frank cypress]

looking to upgrade :< thought you were looking to build someone something on a budget

[smoky orbit]

Qc

[hoary hatch]

Well it would be a small boost

[hoary hatch]

I also have a spare 8400 idk what to do with

[smoky orbit]

🤷‍♀️ I’ll try to convince her to put the money towards a platform and case upgrade

[green marsh]

i would start with figuring out what is the actual limiting factor, just don't blindly buy a CPU

[hoary hatch]

9900 or 8700 would be a bit more of a multi thread boost

[frank cypress]

probably best off trying to get something lga1700 atm, if you can get a ddr4 board for a decent price

[smoky orbit]

3060 ti and 16 gb of ddr4 (we’re not buying ram rn)

[frank cypress]

aside from zen3x3d i feel like theres not great options for am4

[green marsh]

so if the GPU is limiting for her usage, why are we buying a CPU ?

[smoky orbit]

The gpu is not the limiting factor, I was telling you the other components

[green marsh]

i seen the components - but the question is where she lacks the performance in her usage pattern, that is my point

[smoky orbit]

She plays physics heavy games only example i have is beamng (notoriously hard on the cpu)

[civic reef]

Buy her a 9950X3D2

:3c

[smoky orbit]

I don’t even have the money for that cpu, let alone mobo and ram too qwq

[civic reef]

How tight of a budget btw?

[smoky orbit]

Max 200 CAD and cause the case and mobo are proprietary a platform upgrade is out the door for now

[civic reef]

Oh. Yikes, proprietary stuff ~w~

Yeah, I'd suggest something like the 8700 or 9700

Not much better you can get in 1151 v2

[smoky orbit]

Yeah, I’ll try to get her to get a platform upgrade and a new case

[frank cypress]

you might be able to get a free case from somewhere

[civic reef]

She could probably sell the system itself if she wanted?

[smoky orbit]

(She could get an i9-9900k but not with those shitty vrms)

[frank cypress]

but idk, shed be better off saving more

[civic reef]

Yeah which is why I suggested only the 8700 & 9700

Anyway yeah, sell that prebuilt and use the combined cash for something better

[smoky orbit]

She has a great gpu and psu for now (and 16gb of ram (at least))

I think she’s just better off keeping them and swapping the other components

[civic reef]

Yeah, that's an idea too

Selling off the rest of the parts if possible too

Just needs a new board, cpu, storage, and case!

[pure garnet]

work got busy but you can actually modchip v2s as well btw

[smoky orbit]

Really? Didn’t realize that, cool to know

[smoky orbit]

She has an nvme already so don’t even neee to get new storage :3)

[civic reef]

Then, even better!

If all new, I'd say the CPU & Board would be about.. Maybe 90ish & 110ish USD each?

Aka, 5600x & B550

Oh wait, the 5600x went up in price. Right.

Lemme check CAComp

[frank cypress]

imo not really worth going from a 8500 to the 5600

[smoky orbit]

Might go used for an intel 12th gen for upgrade path rather than am4

[frank cypress]

i would agree but that really hinges on you being able to get a decent ddr4 lga1700 board for a reasonable price atm

[smoky orbit]

Indeed

[civic reef]

Canada computers isn't loading </3

[civic reef]

Oh yeah fair

[smoky orbit]

They have a weird website ngl

[frank cypress]

also have abyssmal security

cough cough credit card skimmer cough cough

[smoky orbit]

Yeah qwq I wish we had me over in qc

[frank cypress]

yeah memex has been way better in my experience

[smoky orbit]

I can still order from them but I wish we had a physical store

[shell void]

i am going to try the duck

Haven't tried it yet but hear good things

[pure garnet]

You should use a 3050 lp with your 5090 (I don’t know if you have a 5090) as a dedicated physicx device

[turbid locust]

I was not very impressed personally

maybe if I were still on a Radeon gpu

[shell void]

i can see the artifacts in dragon ball sparking zero, but 240fps with some artifacts in fast movements is more enjoyable than 60fps

i respect that itll just keep interpolating and preserve frame pacing even if it has to artifact

[shell void]

oh it's definitely way better than FSR 3 FG XDDD

that dogshit barely works

[turbid locust]

[pure garnet]

i still don’t really like framegen but i haven’t tried it at a high input framerate yet

60 -> 120 still feels like 60 and bad to me

[shell void]

this is pretty cool ICL i can just tell it to interpolate to 240fps and use vsync

i hope nvidia eventually adds dynamic multi framegen

actually dynamic where you can set a target with fractional multiplier support, not their current system that just switches between 2x/3x/4x/5x/6x

[turbid locust]

yeah there’s a lotta games where I need like

frame gen 0.4x LMAO

That's overpriced, you can get 1 fan for like $30 max so if you just buy separately it's cheaper by 25 dollars

Oh wait

Push pull and side by side application, I don't know if that's new to these fans or what

well we shall see how it actually is in a couple of weeks

[steel stream]

im planning on waiting for full release

[late atlas]

When is the release date

[shell void]

youre going to wait 2+ years?

im going to be posting lots of photos in here for sure

[steel stream]

me and my brother really enjoyed the first game, and spent a lot of time playing it. We want to do a full playthrough no spoilers together

[edgy laurel]

btw @steel stream i must be stopped

[steel stream]

you gotta see if you can get the screenshots to equal the game size

[wraith steeple]

Hmmmm what to pair my K5 PR166 with for video

[edgy laurel]

[trim agate]

i was gonna say haha i have more screenshots than you but i realised that this is only for 1 game

[frail beacon]

Windows team has free hand over social media these days, which is nice

[steel stream]

god damn

[wraith steeple]

Don't mind me, I've been in my LGR arc lately

Been contemplating on getting one of these ATI Rage 3 cards for video for the K5

Gives it more breathing room given that the rage 3 has TSE and the K5's FPU is a bit on the weaker side compared to the Pentium

I’ve had these ports waiting for a tv for a year now lol

theres another plate i need to do under the table that will have an HDMI input on it and then an hdmi input on that top one

so that I dont have to manage cables

so it would be pc into hdmi female plate to female plate to tv

[late atlas]

I feel like that's still so much more expensive than what I saw just 1 of them for

OpenAI was very much a different company in 2018

it's like people who bought a tesla in 2014 or whatever

OpenAI having value is absurd, given the fact that I think they're still technically classified as a nonprofit, nevermind the fact that actual profits are basically impossible

[slate cliff]

if event view keeps bringing up IOMMU and each relates to Memory Management Unit does it mean my ram is cooked?

[vestal granite]

not necessarily but probably sometimes

what exactly is event viewer saying about the IOMMU

[turbid locust]

are you using a DMA card by chance

[wise bear]

~ ✨ AI is helpful if you use it ✨ ~

[slate cliff]

just seys its detected an error

[vestal granite]

what error

screenshot the error in event viewer if you can

[slate cliff]

and FaultInformation: 0x806930C0

[wise bear]

ok so what's device 0x200

reference that against registered devices in device manager

AI Overview
"Fault reason 0x6" in an IOMMU (I/O Memory Management Unit) Windows error generally indicates a DMAR (DMA Remapping) error where the PTE (Page Table Entry) is not set to allow a Read operation, often occurring when a hardware device (commonly a GPU) attempts to access memory it is not authorized to.

Reddit
This error often indicates that a virtual machine or the operating system is attempting to access a memory address that hasn't been properly mapped, frequently seen in PCIe passthrough scenarios.

Reddit

[slate cliff]

and how to search for that

[wise bear]

I'm literally feeding your info to google

I'm trying to show you how easy it is to help yourself with basic stuff like this

[turbid locust]

if this is a result of a DMA card I’m going to laugh

[slate cliff]

bro ive been using google since last month

[wise bear]

how am I making more headway than you in 5 minutes

[slate cliff]

all you have done is take me to device manager

[wise bear]

`Troubleshooting Steps

Update/Reinstall Drivers: Uninstall the device driver in Device Manager, then reinstall the latest version.

Check BIOS/UEFI Settings: Ensure that VT-d (Intel) or AMD-Vi (AMD) is properly enabled and configured in your motherboard BIOS.

VM Configuration: If this occurs in a VM, check the configuration for PCIe passthrough and ensure memory is correctly reserved for the device.

"Error 43" (GPU specific): If this presents as code 43, it is likely the Nvidia driver detecting a virtualized environment and failing to initialize.

If this is happening on a host system without virtualization, it may indicate a malfunctioning device driver or faulty RAM.`

[merry stirrup]

, meow

[turbid locust]

can you just send a pic of the inside of your pc

[vestal granite]

this is all unhelpful, the error can appear without a DMA card and we need to focus on what device 0x200 is

[wise bear]

meow friend

[sharp heart]

just say you are enjoying bliss and flourishing in your lane hmph

[vestal granite]

i have gotten the same exact error as a result of my NIC:

[indigo walrus]

Bliss is what I crave, for everyone on Earth, not just me. Alas, we're not quite there yet as I still live in a society. Tis better than being stuck at home though.

[turbid locust]

It can also appear because of a DMA card and this just feels like the stereotypical situation of “tech illiterate person is influenced to buy a DMA card and causes issues” lmao

[vestal granite]

@slate cliff open powershell, run Get-PnpDevice -InstanceId "*DEV_0200*" and tell us what the result is

[indigo walrus]

Bingo. Ultimately, knowing what device 0x200 is might help steer in the right direction, since IOMMU errors can be caused by all kinds of things related to how Windows has been instructed to read or write to memory, and not necessarily the memory modules themselves.

[vestal granite]

and also device manager sucks to find any device ids because you have to click through literally everything if u dont have a clue about what causes it

and its just popup dialog after popup dialog hell on earth

[slate cliff]

power shells gave me nothin

[wise bear]

thats his punishment for not using google harumph

[indigo walrus]

Yee it's a bit sad how Windows still uses Hexadecimal ID numbers to map things while providing zero translation to the end user in 2026. Makes troubleshooting cumbersome. Like, imagine if ordering food at a restaurant worked like this?

Me: Hi yes I will have the 0xDEADBEEF item please.
Waitress: one order of 7495735 please!
Kitchen: starting order of :;!)&(-;? now, standby.
Payment Terminal: please pay $X for your order of ICE-ICE-BABY
Credit Card Statement: you bought one (1) DeadBabyStew
If the above sounds idiotic, that's because it is, just like how Windows makes users cross reference devices by their hexadecimal identifiers.

[turbid locust]

Google is only so useful if you don’t know what to do with the search results

[wise bear]

skill issue tbh

[turbid locust]

💯

[vestal granite]

try Get-PnpDevice -InstanceId "*200*" instead

might list multiple things

my results for that look like

[indigo walrus]

Hmmm... One of those DMA controllers has an Unknown status. Nope. Don't like that. No idea what the fix might be, but that could be a sign / related to the errors you're seeing in Event Viewer. I'll let @vestal granite continue though.

[turbid locust]

[vestal granite]

sorry one more attempt, i had to ask google gemini grok to change the command up so itll tell me the path
try Get-PnpDevice -InstanceId "*200*" | Select-Object FriendlyName, InstanceId | Format-List

[vestal granite]

okay so the cause of your problem is definitely the DMA controller which means the problem can be all sorts of fun stuff for you to figure out. most likely a motherboard problem if you arent doing anything nefarious like cheating in video games

first thing i would do if i were you is update motherboard bios

[slate cliff]

been done

[turbid locust]

I still need a pic of the inside of your pc

[vestal granite]

so my question now is, what are you doing when the error pops up/how do you notice the error happening?

like what made you think to check event viewer

[slate cliff]

well my pc goes into panic mode Kills the Screens and sends the fans to 100 befor rebooting after awhile and this happens either when im playing a game or just idle with no game

[devout ridge]

A legally acquired game…?

[slate cliff]

yes

[devout ridge]

from what vendor

[slate cliff]

steam ,mojang

[vestal granite]

turn off your PC, make sure your GPU and any M.2 SSDs are firmly installed

[slate cliff]

@turbid locust

[turbid locust]

ok I will stop being a hater

[devout ridge]

i won’t, do some cable management

[turbid locust]

true lmao

[slate cliff]

it is managed

[vestal granite]

poorly

[wise bear]

yeah it looks fine tbh

[slate cliff]

all the cables are pulled to the other side of the pc

[vestal granite]

listen im allowed to hate now, i helped enough and quite frankly this being helpful stuff is disgusting i dont know how yall do it

[pure garnet]

i ran out of costco popcorn at work

[vestal granite]

did you guys know that they make zero sugar root beer AND its basically root beer without the sugar

[wise bear]

Why do you think I'm so bitter

[vestal granite]

lack of salt

[turbid locust]

I genuinely “helped” someone for the first time here like like 3 months a couple days ago and it took 25 mins to walk the guy through plugging an EPS connector in. It was exhausting LMAO

[wise bear]

dude I'm a pickle fiend I got sodium on lock

[spiral quarry]

You like cornichon pickles?

[vestal granite]

i like half sour pickles

[wise bear]

Is that a brand or a type of pickle

[vestal granite]

its an airline i think

cornichon airways or something

[wise bear]

not you nimrod

[cosmic gazelle]

@merry stirrup is ur am3 a 970 or 990

[pure garnet]

trying to help my homie build a pc over discord vc is a genuine test of humanity

[spiral quarry]

smaller pickles in a different brine

[wise bear]

990fx or nothing

[brave panther]

just make your own lol

[merry stirrup]

970 extreme 3 i think

[wise bear]

omg they'd be the perfect snack

[brave panther]

el pickle from el garden

[spiral quarry]

haha yess

[turbid locust]

Yeah I find it astonishing how unwilling people are to do 30 mins of research

[wise bear]

I could eat those like fucking candy, dawg

[merry stirrup]

oh my bad its a 970 extreme 2

[spiral quarry]

They're not that sour too like a mix between sweet and sour

[wise bear]

oh slay

[vestal granite]

my family used to have a christmas tree ornament that was one of those pickles but like u know ceramic or whatever and we had to find the pickle scavenger hunt style in the tree

[pure garnet]

nah like she did her research but i can’t really explain how headers go on perfectly over a webcam

[wise bear]

gimme 5gal of it

[turbid locust]

Like LTT put out an extremely detailed video on how to build a PC and we’re still asking randoms what cables go where

[brave panther]

off work late?
hungry but too tired to cook?
try 30 to 40 olives
eat them directly out of their jar with your fingers
you will certainly not regret eating 30 to 40 olives

[wise bear]

Martin I'm on spiro but I'm not a salt queen

[trim agate]

where does this cable labelled "CPU" go into? i don't see a port on my cpu

[merry stirrup]

i fw olive

[wise bear]

I too have my limits

also yeah olives in salad is fire

[merry stirrup]

olive :>

[brave panther]

with pit or without pit

[merry stirrup]

[merry stirrup]

& change my entire desk layout

[brave panther]

is it portable ac?

[merry stirrup]

i had no spot to put it due to it being massive so it wouldnt fit in the normal puter spot

so the computer has to go on its own cabinet now

but my ac was next to my desk (floor unit, with a hose yknow)

but i had to eliminate that for floor space so i swapped to a window unit

[brave panther]

one hose or two hoses?

[merry stirrup]

just one

[trim agate]

um mods

[merry stirrup]

-2000 btu

[brave panther]

those suck (literally)
mod it to dual hose for significant efficiency improvement
